Chapter 350: Shura City
In the southwest corner of Yongzhou, there is an extremely large besieged city. This besieged city, known as Yongzhou Castle a long time ago, is said to have been built by the people of Yongzhou living in a barren land to resist the misery of life.
However, later, with the rise of Shuraism, Shura finally completely controlled Yongzhou City in its own hands. As a result, this Yongzhou City also has a new name - Shura City.
Shura City has been the place where the people of Yongzhou have lived since ancient times. Without this city, I am afraid that the mortals of Yongzhou would not be able to continue to this day, and it would be difficult for the Shura Sect to develop and grow in the Yongzhou area. Some people even say that if the people of Yongzhou had not worked together to build that Shura City, I am afraid that the people of Yongzhou would have died long ago, scattered, and Yongzhou itself would have become a barren and dead land. Therefore, the significance of Shura City to the entire Yongzhou is self-evident.
At this moment, Huan Yin had already disguised himself as a local monk in Yongzhou, wearing a blue scribe's costume, and flew west on the way to Shura City.
To be honest, since Huan Yin worshiped under Duan Yun's door and became a disciple of the Infinite Gate, he has always been proud of his master and respected him. Naturally, he never thought of doubting his master's decision, let alone disobeying his master's orders.
However, this time, since he entered Yongzhou, he has always felt that something is not right. Especially Wen Yu's words, which really had to make him suspicious. After all, with his relationship with Wen Yu, it was impossible for Wen Yu to lie to him. Moreover, he is also very clear about Wen Yu's personality, so Wen Yu has no reason to lie to him in this kind of thing.
Therefore, he finally decided to listen to Wen Yu's words and go to Shura City to have a look for himself to find out what kind of existence the Shura Sect was. He felt that he had to figure out what he was fighting for three days from now, so that he could fight at peace, instead of not being able to meditate like he was now.
War, if it is for the teacher and the right way, he is duty-bound. But if it was really as Wen Yu said, he just became a thug for the Yongzhou Wuliangmen Branch, then it was another matter.
After quietly going out from the Boundless Gate, Huan Yin unfolded at full speed, and after about an hour of flight, he finally saw a besieged city from a distance.
This besieged city is really huge, even if Huan Yin is standing in the sky, he can't even see its outline at a glance. However, after a little thought, Huan Yin already understood why this city was so big.
After all, the entire Yongzhou is just this city, and more than ninety percent of the people living in Yongzhou are probably gathered here. If this city is not big enough, then why can so many Yongzhou people live here?
After cautiously observing for a short while, Huan Yin descended from the sky. And at the moment when the soles of his feet touched the bottom, his entire person's cultivation was also directly reduced from the extreme realm to the mid-stage realm of cohesion. In this way, unless he is a person whose cultivation is higher than him, if you see him, you will think that he is just a monk who has just stepped into the path.
With a wave of his hand, a small stream of wind and sand suddenly swept into Huan Yin's body. And after the wind and sand passed, Huan Yin's whole person showed the feeling of being dusty, as if he had been in a hurry for a long time to come here. In this way, the loose cultivation temperament on his body is even more obvious.
After doing this, Huan Yin thought to himself that he should not reveal his identity. After all, he has only been in Yongzhou for a day or two, and his disguise is enough to be in place. So, he began to take it in stride, and walked forward.
The city is from far to near, and it is constantly enlarged in Huan Yin's eyes. Soon after, when Huan Yin clearly saw the three black characters "Shura City" on the top of the city with his naked eyes, he was already standing less than fifty zhang away from the city gate.
Under the city gate, there were two rows of eight monks, all of whom were uniformly dressed in black tight-fitting robes, and it was obvious that they were the disciples of the Shura Sect.
The current Shura City is controlled by the Shura Sect, so it is not surprising that the gates here are guarded by the disciples of the Shura Sect.
"Just enter the city and see how the people and the monks get along, and the truth will be revealed. Huan Yin thought so. In his opinion, a mortal living in the city to which he belonged would at least not show a false appearance to him as an outsider for no reason. Therefore, if it is true that the Shura Sect is bullying even mortals as he heard in the Shimen before, then whether the Shura Sect is good or bad can be judged instantly.
Gradually, Huan Yin approached the city gate. At this time, the crying voice of an old woman also reached his ears.
Huan Yin hadn't noticed that there was an old woman under the city gate before, but when he turned his face to look, he saw that among the eight guards under the city gate, there was an old woman lying on the ground, her face covered with dust, and her lips were cracked with blood due to excessive dryness.
"Give me some water, I haven't drunk a drop of water in two days, have pity on me, old woman. The old woman said in a hoarse voice. However, the eight disciples of the Shura Sect standing next to him stood upright, not moving at all, and they didn't even look at the old woman at all.
Yongzhou is barren, and the most bitter thing is only the lack of water. This point, Huan Yin was deeply aware of it soon after entering Yongzhou. Now, seeing the old woman crying and asking the doorman for water, Huan Yin couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart.
However, when he saw the eight Shura disciples around the old woman who were unable to save themselves, there was a nameless fire rising in his chest.
If he met such a monk on weekdays, he would not hesitate to teach a lesson. Such a monk doesn't even understand the most basic humanity, what kind of heavenly way can he cultivate?
However, Huan Yin naturally knew that the place he was in now was not where he could make a move if he wanted to. So, he could only forcibly suppress the anger in his heart, but he already had a basic judgment about the Shura Sect.
"What the master said was true, the eight Shura disciples who were in charge of guarding each had a big water bag hanging from their waists, but they turned a blind eye to an old woman who was about to die of thirst. This...... Isn't this a cult!" Thinking so, Huan Yin really couldn't bear to see the old woman suffer like this again, so he quickly rushed to the gate of Shura City and came to the old woman's side.
A water bag was taken out of the storage bag, and Huan Yin handed it to the old woman without hesitation. When the old woman saw the water bag handed over by Huan Yin, her eyes, which were almost desperate, suddenly bloomed with extremely strong vitality, and after desperately tearing off the plug of the water bag, she drank it in a big gulp, and even choked several times because she drank too quickly.
For everything that happened around them, the eight disciples of the Shura Sect always ignored it. At most, two of them glanced at Huan Yin in a little surprise, but they still didn't do anything.
After that, the old woman drank the water, and finally seemed to be relieved, so she waved at Huan Yin again and again, and said thank you.
Huan Yin smiled, and after helping the old man up, he watched the old man turn back and enter the city. Looking at the returning old man, Huan Yin's heart couldn't help but feel sad for the people of Yongzhou.
Living in such a place, they have nowhere to go. Living in the city will die, but without the city, they will die even faster.
"Hey......" sighed heavily, Huan Yin stepped forward again, and a guard who looked like a stone sculpture on the side finally moved.
Stretching out his hand to stop Huan Yin, the guard asked with a serious expression, "Where did you come from, and what are you doing in the city?"
Huan Yin replied: "I came from outside to practice and want to go to the city to live a more stable life. ”
The guard smiled coldly and said, "I can see that you are a loose cultivator, so I want to persuade you, if you want to live a stable life in Shura City, you must understand the rules of Shura City." ”
Huan Yin sneered in his heart, and thought: "Rules? The rules here are naturally the biggest in the Shura Sect, and the rules of your city gate guards are nothing more than wanting to enter the city and the like." ”
However, the expression on his face was not unusual at all, and he only asked: "Please also ask Daoyou to make it clear." ”
Huan Yin knew that he would definitely be hit hard by the guards in front of him. However, since he is here today, he is ready for this.
However, when the guard spoke again a short time later, Huan Yin was slightly stunned.
"Forget it, there's no point in talking too much. To survive in such a place, the rules can only be remembered by one's own experience. Alright, you go in. With that, the guard waved his hand at Huan Yin, and then stood back in place. And looking at his appearance, he didn't mean to mention the entrance fee at all.
Standing in place for a long time, Huan Yin walked forward with a puzzled face after making sure that the eight guards beside him were really willing to let him into the city like this.
"How could someone like them who couldn't save me take the opportunity to knock me off? Could it be that someone had noticed my strangeness, so he secretly said something to them?" Huan Yin thought.
