Chapter 80: It's Good to Be Alive!
"City Lord Pan, don't you come to harm?" I saw the former Taishan City Lord who was seriously injured and dying in a cave in the ground, and he no longer had the boldness and happiness he had when he said goodbye ten days ago.
"Daochang Chen, providence, this is providence. "I listened to him say something confusing, he was dying. After slaughtering many rival families, he was arrogant for a while, imprisoned the daughters of many rival families, pushed into iron cages, and let them fight each other and drink heartily. He sent a lot of warriors, chased down and killed those who escaped, and also dug out a lot of people hiding at the bottom of the cave, and even more implicated, regardless of Lian Yunfeng's law and my prior dissuasion, killed a lot of people who were actually unrelated but made him feel uncomfortable.
At that time, he was very wild, and there was unconcealed joy in the letters he sent to me and Pan Hagi Sakura. Even, he even vaguely proposed to officially marry Pan Hagi Ying to me as a side room. He thought very beautifully, and once in his letter he even called me "virtuous son-in-law".
However, when the spirit mask retreated north, Taishan City was in chaos, and thousands of his carefully selected demon warriors turned into brutal butchers, breaching his castle, killing all his people, and destroying the entire city. And he was also betrayed by a slave girl, and then severely injured by a group of dog demons. Pity that slave girl is still the one he thinks he has tamed, and those dog demons are also the hardcore henchmen he has raised for many generations. If it weren't for a group of people who happened to be stranded in Taishan City, snatched him out, and then cut open the city gate, fought his way out of the siege, and ran to the current Baiheji, he would have died a long time ago.
"Uncle Chen, we meet again. Liu Guanghe smiled bitterly and saluted me.
"Guanghe, it's good that you're alive. "What else can I say? The Liu Guanghe in front of him is no longer the graceful and suave on Lianyun Peak, let alone the heroic and flying on Dongbo Mountain. was smashed once in the Bone Snake Gorge, and before he could recover, he was smashed a second time because of the chaos of the spiritual membrane retreating north from heaven and earth. Guilty, nervous, fragile, and fierce, dressed in a neat armor and a disgusting sword stained with the smell of blood and ink, sat in front of a bookshelf with many skulls. It seems to be normal, and the management of those Qi cultivators below is also very effective, and the command of those warriors is even more adequate, and the mortals who control the Baihe Collection are like the palm of their hands, everything looks very good. It's just that there are too many dead people in the White River Market, the dirt pit outside the city where the bones are discarded is spread far away, the city seems to be quiet but it is gloomy, the crowd seems calm but it is hideous, and the situation seems to be stable but it has reached the verge of the final explosion.
But what can I say?
"Guanghe, it's good that you're alive!" I patted Liu Guanghe on the shoulder.
I didn't see the three Ni disciples, but the tallest skulls on the bookshelf were familiar to me. In the virtual world of the Sea and Sky Sword Technique, the number of Qi cultivators I sensed was only one-seventh of the number of Qi cultivators who had stayed in Taishan City, and the number of warriors who could still stand up and fight was less than a thousand. A large number of ordinary civilians, dressed in rudimentary leather armor and carrying spears and wooden spears, stood at the head of the city, without even a bow. The whole market, the buildings above the ground, can still be intact, that is, the small building in front of you.
"Uncle Chen, it's good that you're here. Liu Guanghe still smiled wryly, swaying, and seemed to be weak, but he always took out a small copper seal from his arms, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of me. "This is the seal of the Lord of Taishan City. The piece of waste inside was only thinking about running north, so I took it off. If it weren't for the fact that he had been alive to use this seal, I would have killed him long ago. But since Uncle Chen, you are here now, then the junior brother of Baiheji will be handed over to you. ”
That's right, the person who has been in touch with me through the small copper seal in front of me is the Liu Guanghe in front of me. It was he who took the lead in organizing a group of people, killed the demon gangsters who had changed among the Qi cultivators who stayed behind, snatched out the City Lord Pan, and most importantly, grabbed the City Lord's Law Seal, and then retreated to Baiheji with the team. It was also him, in the following battles, who killed many unstable factors within the Qi cultivators, and killed many, many people. As for the samurai below, he killed even more. Even now, a month ago, those people who had set foot on Xiuyun Peak Cloud City on Lianyun Peak were almost invisible.
It's tragic, but what can I say?
"Guanghe, don't be discouraged!" Unfortunately, even I don't seem to have confidence in what I said.
"Guanshui, I've always admired you. But now, where do we still have a way to live? I've seen it all these days. The other people at the top of the peak, as long as they were surnamed Men Valve, were all picked up, and they left us here to die. If you come a few days late, maybe you can see me off. At that time, I must have been killed by the people outside the door. ”
Hey, what are you talking about so old-fashioned? It's not even twenty years old, why do you want to show that you're going to die?
Is it because the current plot is not unfolding as you expected? Not as you wish, so that you can leisurely practice all the way on Lianyun Peak, it is best to have a little adventure, let you jump out of the small cage of Lianyun Peak, jump on other higher branches, build the foundation, Jindan, Yuanying, all the way up, adventures, pink marriage, magic weapon Shendan endlessly, wealthy nobles come and go, the surname is eye-catching, and the living one is called chic?
Is it to blame that this world is changing too fast and too cruel?
I could only sneer.
"Guanghe, it's good that you're alive. Don't think too much about those things. The things of heaven are done by the people of heaven, and the things of earth are done by us. I have already contacted Senior Brother Xie Kang, and he said that the Halal people still have two days before they can return to Lian Yunfeng. What we can do now is to take the following group of people and hurry north. I reckon that the things hidden in the swamps of the South should also be coming out. ”
"Hahahaha······"
Liu Guanghe laughed wildly, laughing with tears in his eyes, he lost his temper, pointed at my nose, and scolded: "Chen Guanshui, I treat you as a smarter person than me, but you perfunctory me like this." Do you know why I dared to kill those three people surnamed Ni?"
I know, because Uncle Ni has been eaten by a crocodile goblin, even the city where he lives and the army under his command have been eaten by the crocodile demon of the Jindan period.
"Do you know why I didn't flee back to Lianyun Peak with my henchmen?"
I also know that because of the rebellion of the divine beasts in Shangzhen Mountain of Lianyun Peak, all the things that Master Xie Daoqing used to raise and play with were made monsters, and they were eating people all over the mountains, and Liu Fang, the second master who stayed on the mountain, had died.
"Do you know why I didn't run away by myself? Don't I know that I ran out of Lianyun Peak, found a small place at random, buried myself, hidden, and became a wild man, and I could still live, why didn't I do it?"
I still know!
That's why I'm extremely disgusted with this harsh cultivation world!
Because the monks who ran away without permission, whether it was foundation building or qi training, as long as they left the position where they should be, they all died!
Killed by the rays of light that fell from the sky!
Is this the world where the Demon Gate is located, or the world of Xianxia Cultivation? This is not the kind of world depicted in the oriental legends I read in the previous world!
"Guanghe, it's good that you're alive. What you have to do now is to continue to live instead of just dying. ”
I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth.
