() As the loud cry of grievances resounded, Song Zhizhu's face gradually became ugly, originally all this could be done smoothly, but he didn't expect that there would be a change because of the appearance of this person.

Almost everyone present knew that the so-called Tianyi Sect believers were just a front, and they just wanted to arrest some random people in order to achieve ulterior motives.

Therefore, no one else refuted Ma Fangyu's insinuations, because they knew that these people were indeed wronged.

At this time, the eyes of the general and the city lord all looked at Song Zhizhu, and in the end, he needed to make a decision.

In Song Zhizhu's view, everything that happened here is just a fulcrum of the entire overall situation, and even if this fulcrum is abandoned, it will not have any impact on the overall situation.

Song Zhi looked at Ma Fangyu, there were more things in his eyes that were difficult for ordinary people to see, and said with a smile: "I think, Ma Gongzi, you have misunderstood, everything we have done here is just to deter those who want to become believers in Tianyi Sect." Therefore, the people who are caught in the torture car are only temporary, and they will not really be tortured. ”

After that, Song Zhizhi made a look, and the general asked the seven people on the torture car to be released.

If the seven people were reborn, they quickly knelt down in front of Song Zhizhu and the city lord, and thanked him again and again, of course, they did not forget Ma Fangyu, and showed a look of gratitude to him.

Ma Fangyu was still a little surprised by what Song Zhishu did, he originally thought that he still needed to spend more lip and tongue, but he didn't expect the other party to let him go easily, is he really so important in their eyes?

After that, Song Zhizhi reprimanded everyone: "You have all seen it, although today is just a scene, but these eight torture vehicles are either fake, or specially tailored for Tianyi Sect believers, if you find that there are real Tianyi Sect believers among you, then I will not tolerate it." ”

"No!" everyone was shocked and replied one after another.

In this way, the armor soldiers who surrounded this place evacuated one after another, and the civilians also regained their freedom, who dared to stay here for a while and leave in a hurry.

This originally prosperous Xitang Ancient Road instantly became empty, in stark contrast to the previous scene.

Ma Fangyu wanted to leave, but Long Chengqi graciously invited him to the City Lord's Mansion as a guest, and he was really gracious, so he came to the City Lord's Mansion with them.

When he got there, Ma Fangyu was warmly welcomed by the city lord, and took care of all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, which made Ma Fangyu have an illusion that he was not like a cultivator, but a powerful son.

Soon, at night, Ma Fangyu sat alone in a gazebo, holding a phoenix ring in his hand, which brought him a cold feeling.

There is no doubt that this phoenix ring is what Feng Qingluan handed over to him. Ma Fangyu stared at it intently, with infinite emotion in his heart.

The last time I saw her, I was in a hurry and forgot to hand over this phoenix ring to her, and the most important thing was the news about her mother, Feng Simiao.

Thinking of this, Ma Fangyu hesitated, and she didn't know whether to tell her the information about her mother's parents, in case she was impulsive and kissed Dragon Island, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

If she didn't tell her, she would never know about her mother's affairs, and her mother might stay on Dragon Island forever, would it be fair to them?

After thinking about it, it is difficult for Ma Fangyu to have a reassuring answer, just like her mother's dilemma. However, thinking that Feng Qingluan has always been a calm person, he will definitely not do impulsive things.

So, Ma Fangyu made up his mind

Meaning, the next time we meet, be sure to tell her everything I know.

Without hesitation in his heart, Ma Fangyu put away the phoenix ring. Next, there was another thing in his hand, there were two rollers on the outside of this thing, and a wheel in the middle, which was obviously something that Ma Fangyu took out of the virtual realm.

Ma Fangyu looked at it, and the appearance of the wheel of time and space appeared in his mind, and there seemed to be similarities between the two, which made Ma Fangyu faintly feel that this thing was the wheel of time and space.

However, this idea was quickly rejected by him, and the destruction of the Chrono Wheel was seen with his own eyes, and it could not be it.

Ma Fangyu shook his head, still feeling that he was thinking too much, so he couldn't help but laugh at himself, and then put it into the Qinglong Jade Pendant, even if it was not the Wheel of Time and Space, it should be something other extraordinary.

At this moment, a laugh sounded behind Ma Fangyu, and when Ma Fangyu realized it, the person had already arrived in front of him.

Ma Fangyu couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, relying on his sharp senses, he didn't notice his arrival. It can only be said that his cultivation is unfathomable, and even makes Ma Fangyu feel that he is no less than his master Feng Baili.

Fortunately, he had no ill will towards himself, otherwise he wouldn't know how he died. Ma Fangyu looked at Song Zhizhu in front of him, a smile gradually appeared on his face, and said, "The National Teacher is still elegant to come here?"

Song Zhi's expression was indifferent, and his eyes moved forward from Ma Fangyu's body, where it was a dark night, and he couldn't see his five fingers.

He first sighed, and then said: "There are many things in the world, disturbing me, and I have no intention of sleeping peacefully!"

Ma Fangyu looked at him, and faintly felt that he was a little different now, and said: "The national teacher is in a high position, worried about the country and the people, and admires him!"

Song Zhizhu still didn't squint, pointed to the dark night, and said, "What do you feel when you look at that dark night?"

Hearing this, Ma Fangyu followed the direction of his finger and frowned, isn't this the dark night he has often seen? ”

Song Zhizhu disagreed, turned to look at Ma Fangyu, and said meaningfully: "You only saw the surface of it, but you didn't see something deeper. ”

"Is there anything deep in this night?" asked Ma Fangyu with some curiosity.

So, Song Zhizhu began to tell the story.

"The night you see is only the night in nature, not the night in human nature. In fact, what happened during the day is ironclad evidence. It's just that most people hide the dark side of their humanity and show the bright side to others, and only when it comes to the real crisis will it be exposed. Therefore, human nature is a combination of good and evil, just like the change of day and night, when the day passes, the night will be unstoppable. ”

Hearing this, Ma Fangyu had an inexplicable feeling that although his words were reasonable, they were too negative and ran counter to his purpose of punishing evil and promoting good.

Song Zhizhu seemed to see Ma Fangyu's inner world, turned to smile, and said: "Ma Gongzi, these are just things that I have feelings and can't count, so you shouldn't have heard them." ”

Since the other party said so, Ma Fangyu could only smile, and after tonight, he had to forget about it completely.

Subsequently, Song Zhizhu left when he saw that he had nothing to say, leaving Ma Fangyu alone.

He still sat in the gazebo, without the slightest sleepiness, as if he wanted to sit like this until dawn.

And just like that, time came to the first day very quickly

On the second day, Ma Fangyu said goodbye to the city lord Long Chengqi early in the morning, and there was only one next destination, that is, the Bai family near the northern suburbs of the Longqing Empire.

Counting the days, it is less than a month before the deadline, and if I don't go again, I'm afraid that I will never see her again.

In order to get there as soon as possible, Ma Fangyu did not choose to play while walking, but traveled all the way to the northern suburbs of the Longqin Empire, and it only took a few days in time.

When he arrived here, Ma Fangyu had a strange feeling in his heart, the feeling of a wanderer returning to his hometown.

Ma Fangyu pondered the source of this feeling, and then remembered that the village of Wuyu, where he grew up, seemed to be near this northern suburb.

Since he came here by chance, it's time for him to go back and take a look, although his heart has been hiding from it.

After making up his mind, Ma Fangyu continued to walk with the sword with the memory of his childhood, and soon found the former Wufu Village.

The reason why it is said that it was once is because this place has now become a ruin, overgrown with weeds, and there is no village at all.

Ma Fangyu walked to the entrance of the village, stopped, and muttered, "I'm back." ”

Then, he plucked up the courage to step inside, and the scene of the village came into his eyes.

I saw that the houses in two places were already dilapidated, either submerged in the earth and turned into a part of the earth, or protruded from the ground, and gradually corroded by wind and rain.

Everywhere he passed, the grass was up to his knees, giving people a sense of time passing.

It is here that he carries the happiness of his childhood, carries most of his time, and as he revisits his hometown, it seems that what happened before is clearly displayed in front of him again.

Thinking about these things in his mind, there is happiness, but after happiness, it is the pain that Ma Fangyu is most unwilling to face.

He didn't dare to linger any longer, he was afraid that if he stopped, the picture of everyone's tragic death would be displayed in his mind again.

So, he walked forward briskly until he came to the home where he had been a child.

This place is no longer what it used to be, but it still touches my heart, especially the place at the door, where my former mother died tragically.

Ma Fangyu finally couldn't help it, his eyes were a little red, he tried his best to control his emotions, and rubbed his eyes with his hands, but he didn't want to rub his eyes even more ruddy.

After staying here for a while, Ma Fangyu left the village and walked to the outskirts of the village, where he saw a small cemetery.

But I saw that the tombstone was engraved with the words "Tomb of all the villagers!"

I think this is what Master said, the place where the disciples of the Jiuxiao Sect are buried.

Ma Fangyu quickened his pace, stood in front of the tombstone, put one hand on the tombstone, and stroked it gently.

It is here that all the villagers who died tragically in Wufu Village, including their own mother, are buried.

At this time, Ma Fangyu felt that his heart was extremely heavy, like a thousand heavy burdens pressing on his heart, making it a little difficult for him to breathe.

Then, he knelt down heavily on his knees in front of the tombstone, his face gradually became firm, and he said in the most righteous voice: "Mother, all the villagers, you will not die in vain, I, Ma Fangyu, swear here, I will find the murderer of you and slash the enemy, otherwise I will be destroyed." ”

After saying that, he kowtowed his head three times before slowly standing up, turning to look at the ruins in front of him, and an imperial-like momentum emanated.
