It's a simple truth, no intelligent life doesn't like to call itself an evil demon, and this is true for people, demons, and other races. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because the reason is simple, it is very convincing and cannot be questioned. Zhao Chang and Zhao Qing both nodded in agreement.

Zhao Meng and Mo both knew about the existence of the demon clan, and they thought that those who slaughtered the sect were the demon clan, but for some reason, they also agreed with Chu Tiancheng's statement.

Ling Jue's expression was a little more solemn, and then he shook his head and said, "Not necessarily." ”

Chu Tiancheng was slightly stunned, and Zhao Chang's expressions were a little more puzzled, and they looked at Ling Jue one by one. Denying simple truths is often considered irrational or sensational. No sect calls itself a demon sect, so no race will call itself a demon race, this truth is very simple and clear, just like the sun comes out of the east and sets in the west, no one will say that it is wrong.

However, when Ling Jue said this, Chu Tiancheng had doubts on his face, but he didn't mean to question it, why, because he was Ling Jue, the youngest Transformation Realm powerhouse in the world today!

No one dares to say that a Transformation Realm powerhouse is irrational, and no one will think that people like Ling Jue need to be grandstanding, after all, people like him have always been a collection of thousands of favors.

Ling Jue looked at everyone's gaze, smiled slightly, paused, seemed to be sorting out his words, and then said: "Have you noticed that the language we use, every word, and the meaning expressed by each word are changing with the passage of time, especially when some major events occur, the meaning of some words is even more drastic. ”

Zhao Chang's brain is very flexible, but he doesn't like to use his brain, so he didn't think about it, so he asked, "Is there one?"

Ling Jue said: "Of course there is, since the cucumber Langjun incident, doesn't cucumber have an additional definition in addition to vegetables?"

When it came to "Cucumber Langjun", Zhao Chang and several people had a little more strange emotions on their faces.

"Cucumber Langjun, who is here, is it famous?" Chu Tiancheng really didn't hear the story of "Cucumber Langjun", but he could roughly guess the meaning of what Ling Jue said other than vegetables, but he deliberately wanted to disturb everyone's thinking, so he asked such an embarrassing question.

Cucumber Langjun is not human.

The story happened many years ago, in Loulan City in the Western Regions, there was a lady who was very delicious and delicious cucumbers, and every day she would ask the maid to go to the market to buy a few cucumbers. One day, however, a little servant accidentally saw the young lady in the backyard crept into a very remote corner, and then hurried away, and the little servant was curious, so he ran to that corner, and found a large pile of discarded cucumbers. The little servant was simple-minded, saw the cucumber, picked it up and wanted to eat it, but found that the cucumber had a strange and unpleasant fishy smell, so he threw the cucumber back, the little servant was not sensible, so he told the friends about it, and the cucumber pile in the corner spread at once. The matter reached the ears of the adults, and the truth quickly surfaced, it turned out that the young lady not only likes to eat cucumbers, but also likes to "use" cucumbers, and cucumber Langjun came from this.

At the instigation of everyone, Ling Jue briefly told the story of Cucumber Langjun, and then said to everyone: "You say, countless years ago, is it possible that the demon does not represent evil, insidious, and dark meaning? Demon is just the name of a race, just like people? But later, the demon clan did a lot of evil things, so the demon has the meaning of evil?"

Countless years ago, no one knows, even the longest-lived scorpion king known in the current world. Therefore, Ling Jue's question is not easy to answer, not to mention that Ling Jue's reasoning is also very simple, the meaning expressed by the words is changing all the time, so the demon may not represent evil countless years ago.

However, Ling Jue's reasoning is different from Chu Tiancheng's previous reasoning, Chu Tiancheng's is more singular, and the variables in it are negligible. No one calls themselves the Demon Sect, this is absolute, but there is no big problem, the people here refer to normal people, and it is not excluded that some people in the rivers and lakes like to take the unusual path and call themselves demons, but this kind of people are almost negligible.

However, Ling Jue's reasoning is different, there are many words whose meanings are changing, it is indeed true, but the changes are all directionless, and the changes between words are not necessarily related, not that cucumbers have more meanings, the magic must have changed, and the two are almost irrelevant.

Therefore, Ling Jue's reasoning is only a conjecture and cannot be a conclusion.

Chu Tiancheng quickly saw this and asked, "What Brother Ling said is very reasonable, but it can't prove that demons didn't represent evil countless years ago. ”

Zhao Chang thought about it seriously and agreed.

Ling Jue also nodded, but soon, he suddenly thought of something, his expression was a little more questioning, he looked at Chu Tiancheng, and said, "Brother Chu, don't you believe that there is a demon clan?"

Chu Tiancheng was slightly stunned, smiled in his heart, and said: "I don't disbelieve in the existence of the demon race, I just think that it is too far away to link the current thing with the event of 10,000 years ago." ”

Ling Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, thought about it carefully, and said to Chu Tiancheng: "Brother Chu is also reasonable. My grandfather often told me that the most terrifying thing in this world is not the demon beast, but the human heart! Maybe this time it was also used by someone with a heart. ”

Zhao Meng, who had not spoken since the beginning of the Demon Clan, suddenly said: "It doesn't matter if he is a Demon Sect or a Demon Clan, these people have killed all the way, they should be coming to our Chang'an City, and in a few days, we will know what it is!"

Ling Jue said: "Well, Senior Brother is right, last night, two more sects were destroyed, and the sect families and villages along the road were alienated, I believe that in a few days, those people will arrive at the South Gate." ”

Chu Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the topic had almost left the demon clan, and then, he suddenly thought of something, and said to Zhao Meng: "Brother Zhao, there are many disciples from various sects and sects in the city now, the inn restaurant is overcrowded, and there are many Jianghu guests on the street. ”

Zhao Qing interjected: "Brother Chu is right, Dad, just an hour ago, two small factions made a big move to fight for a tea stall, but fortunately I arrived in time." ”

Zhao Meng said: "Well, there are a lot of people coming, saying that they are here to help, but when it comes to fighting, how many people have contributed?

Ling Jue thought for a moment and said to Zhao Meng: "Brother Zhao, I see that there are many people who have no place to live, why don't we lend them some tents and let them settle down outside the city?"

Zhao Meng said: "This, my advisers have discussed, it seems that it will not work, even if they lend them tents, it is only to provide accommodation, they will still go into the city to play during the day, not to mention that there are many people who live in inns and private houses?"

Zhao Chang said: "Our Chang'an City can prosper because it can tolerate people, so if these sects do not commit crimes in the city, it is not easy for us to expel them." ”

Several people fell silent.

Chu Tiancheng thought about it, and suddenly had a plan, and said to Zhao Meng: "Brother Zhao, you can't catch up, then you can please!"

"Please?"

Several people looked at Chu Tiancheng with doubts on their faces. Chu Tiancheng said to everyone: "The slaughterer is menacing, we can establish a defense line five miles outside the city in the name of preserving defense, and the guards of the ten major mound clans will take the lead to guard it, and recruit righteous people in the city." Those disciples and elders of various sects, as well as those scattered cultivators, came to the city in the name of helping, and if the list is released, for the sake of face, they will definitely compete to sign up. ”

Zhao Meng's eyes lit up, and then Chu Tiancheng's words said: "When the time comes, we will take them out of the city, camp outside the city, and train regularly! Eating, drinking, and sleeping will all be carried out outside the city!"

Chu Tiancheng gave Zhao Meng a thumbs up.

At Chu Tiancheng's suggestion, the recruitment lists of the ten major families were soon plastered all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, where there were tents to live in, food and drink for nothing, and rewards for killing enemies.

In order to reduce the burden on the city, Zhao Meng asked people to take the conscripts out of the city on the same day.

Under the advocacy of the Ten Families, as Chu Tiancheng expected, those cultivators who grabbed the inn and lived in the private houses also signed up one after another and went out of the city with the guardians of the Ten Families.

In order to serve the army, Zhao Meng personally commanded the battle.

However, it was precisely because of the great movements of the ten major families that everyone thought that those door butchers were coming, and for a while, the people in the city were panicked again, and soon after the cultivators were fooled by the Zhao family to the outside of the city, those traders also made their own calculations and left Chang'an City one after another.

After the sects along the road were withdrawn, there was no news of the destruction of the sects in southern Xinjiang, and the informants of the Mo family wrote to find the traces of those slaughtering sects. The Mojia informant stated in the letter that from the traces, two things can be determined: first, there are thousands of people who slaughter the door, and second, the slaughterer did come to Chang'an.

The news quickly spread in Chang'an City, and of course it also reached the ears of those cultivators five miles away, thousands of people, quite a large sect to mobilize, not much, but also a lot.

There are more than 20,000 cultivators stationed outside the city, not counting the old things in the top ten families, there are also thousands of people in the city, so in terms of numbers, the ten major families have a huge advantage, so the news did not cause much panic, but the atmosphere outside the city is becoming more and more tense.

In the rivers and lakes, it is not uncommon for hundreds of people to fight, but it is extremely rare for more than 1,000 people, and it is even rarer to have a total of 10,000 people on both sides like this.

Of course, the most important thing is that since the ten major families followed Chang'an City, for thousands of years, no one has dared to attack Chang'an City, and now someone suddenly jumped out and was menacing, how not to make people nervous?
