Farewell to the long pavilion
No matter what the expectations of all parties have, the Three Cities Debate is finally over.
The onlookers of Maple Grove City dispersed, still happily discussing. The results of the Fenglin City Daoist Academy this time are really not bad, and they are honored.
Most of the ordinary people living in this city don't know what's going on today.
The bloody battles that took place in the dark room, the fights in the corners and alleys, the entanglement of life and death, all passed silently. Like air annihilated in the air.
The waves set off by the White Bone Road were calmly dissipated, and there was not even a trace of blood on the street. The few civilians who accidentally witnessed the battle were also given gag orders.
For most people, today is just a wonderful event in Maple Grove City.
Transcendence is not free from suffering, and ignorance is not necessarily happiness.
As for Wei Quji, the skulls of seventeen White Bone Dao monks piled up in front of him, as well as those many more corpses that were not eligible to be collected, washed away his shame.
Wei Quji said to Dong A: "Today's great hatred is repaid, it is better to organize the disciples of the Taoist Academy to recite the "Taishang Salvation Sutra" a few times together, and overspend the death in vain for those in Xiaolin Town." ”
As the lord of a city, he can finally pay a little tribute to the small forest town under his rule.
Of course, this is not a difficult thing, and the "Taishang Sutra of Salvation and Suffering", as a commonly used transcendent scripture, is memorized by almost every Taoist monk.
But Dong A's attitude was very cold: "The soul is scattered, what's the use of excess?" ”
Wei Quji only felt that this guy was simply unreasonable, he had just finished cooperating, and he didn't even have a good face. With this kind of character, it is no wonder that he was driven out of Zhuangdu in the first place.
……
When the monks of Sanshan City left, Jiang Wang went to see him off.
He had a real admiration for Yang Xingyong, and he also had great respect for the will shown by the monks of Sanshan City in this discourse.
Compared with the mighty team of Wangjiang City, the monks of Sanshan City became more and more alone.
If Dong Ah hadn't personally intervened to treat them, they wouldn't even be able to return to the city at full capacity - these people fought too hard.
Jiang Wang was able to come to see him off, Yang Xingyong was still very happy: "I am convinced, you are very powerful, I will challenge you again next year!" ”
The two chatted for a few words, Jiang Wang hesitated, but still asked: "The Three Cities Discussion is not a county exam, why are you all fighting so hard?" ”
Yang Xingyong was silent.
"Sorry if it's not appropriate, when I didn't ask." Jiang Wang said sincerely.
"Because we ...... Because of Sanshan City, it's difficult. Next to him, Sun Xiaoman, who had been depressed and silent, said.
"There are many mountains, many wild beasts, and many fierce beasts. The beast is fine, it is equivalent to food, and the beast is very troublesome......"
With Sun Xiaoman's narration, Jiang Wang probably understood the predicament of Sanshan City.
The human race rose in ancient times, but before the rise, life was not very easy.
Although it is now said that the human race is the spirit of all things, in fact, the human race is generally blocked after birth, and only a very small number of geniuses can manifest the Dao veins and are born to practice.
And the demon beasts are all born with Dao veins outward.
Later, a supreme powerhouse of the human race invented a pill and made it public, which opened the prelude to the rise of the human race.
The name of this strong man has been lost in the long river of history, but his Danfang has been passed down forever.
This Dan Fang is the original Open Vein Pill, and its main material is the Dao vein of the demon beast.
From now on, the human race no longer has to be limited by talent, and can practice with the Open Pulse Pill! This also means that an era of crazy hunting of monsters has begun.
Before practicing, Jiang Wang had always been puzzled by a question.
In such a torrent of cultivation era, why has the strength of the human race not been able to clear the wilderness so far? Why is it that the kingdoms of the heavens are only keeping the official roads open, and allowing wild beasts to come and go and demon beasts to run rampant in more areas?
Because these monsters are resources! In a sense, those monsters are free-range food. And the environment of wild beasts and even wilderness is only necessary to maintain the ecology of stocking.
After all, demon beasts that are favored by heaven and earth and are born with Dao veins that are manifest cannot be kept in captivity.
The beast, on the other hand, is a different kind of existence. They are extremely powerful, but they lack spirituality, and even their flesh cannot be eaten. To put it simply, the destructive power of the fierce beast is not much worse than that of the demon beast, but it is worthless in itself.
Hunting fierce beasts is a matter of loss and no gain, but Sanshan City has to do it. This has resulted in a de facto long-term loss for Sanshan City.
All the strong people need to pile up resources, but Sanshan City has always made more money than it has entered. What's even more terrifying is that there are too many fierce beasts in the Three Mountains City, and they can't be killed at all.
They destroy official roads, attack villages and towns, and eat people.
The environment of Sanshan City determines that most of the food is transported from other places, and the local area cannot be self-sufficient at all. However, the lack of official roads has in fact raised the risk of transportation.
Especially a while ago, the Three Mountains City Daoist Academy suffered heavy casualties at the hands of the Heart Swallowing Demon, and the Three Mountains City was even more short of manpower.
The maintenance of the official road is a matter of the Sanshan City, and if you want to ask the Zhuang Court to transfer a master to sweep it, you need to pay equivalent resources. And Sanshan City can't take out any extra resources at all.
Therefore, in the case of Chu Ping, the senior brother of the Sanshan City Daoist Academy, the Sanshan City Daoist Academy still regarded this Sanshan City Daoist as a life-saving straw. They fought to the death on the martial arts arena, not for their own honor, but for the sake of the fathers and villagers who were struggling to live in Sanshan City behind them.
"You know what? Every time we win, there will be at least ten more people alive in Sanshan City. Yang Xingyong's eyes were obviously red, and he lowered his head: "As long as we behave well......"
He felt guilty for his defeat, despite all the best he had.
Jiang Wang was silent for a while.
He patted Yang Xingyong on the shoulder: "This time, I picked up a cheap one-year leader in the Three Cities Debate, and I deserved to take advantage of it." The reward of fifty Dao Xun, when I return to the Dao Academy, I will go to the Dao Xun Hall to transfer it to you. ”
Fifty Dao Xun is not a small amount, although it can't solve the problem of Sanshan City, but it can be regarded as a little slowing down the urgent need.
Taking a step back, for a Daoist disciple whose name is entered into the Dao, fifty Dao Xun is half a Pulse Opening Pill, which is equivalent to half an extraordinary monk.
This is exactly the strength that Sanshan City needs to replenish the most.
"How does this fit?" Yang Xingyong looked up in astonishment.
Sun Xiaoman had already smashed Jiang Wang's stomach with a punch, "You friend, we have made a deal!" ”
She originally wanted to smash Jiang Wang's chest heroically, but unfortunately her height did not allow it.
jumped up and smashed it too much to ruin the atmosphere, so he had to beat Jiang Wang's stomach.
Jiang Wang only felt a mouthful of old blood blocked in his throat, if it weren't for the fact that the Four Spirits Refining Body was very strong, he would have to explain this time.
This little girl, the power of her fists is so terrifying.
Of course, Jiang Wang knew that it wasn't that this little girl was embarrassed, he could even see that she was trapped and unnatural hidden under her heroic smile.
She was just reluctant to give up the help that the people of Sanshan City could get because of her shyness.
"Goodbye, then."
"Goodbye!"
Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end.
Jiang Wang stopped outside the city gate and watched his new friends leave.
……
"Sister, buy me a new dress." The little fat grandson smiled and wrapped himself in the big black robe with a hood, and walked in a covert manner.
His clothes had been torn to pieces during the battle.
"No money."
"I can't just go home, can I? How many people have seen such a long way! What should I do if I run out? ”
"What about seeing? You're still a kid. ”
