Chapter 765: The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant
Luo Qianshan's shot has always been crisp and neat, since he received the order to come, he naturally went all out, thundered a blow, and did not give the Water Dragon Sect the slightest chance.
Ying Long Sect Master ordered all the generals, borrowed the power of the Demon Codex, quickly gathered a large number of masters, and arranged a large ban array outside the Water Dragon Island to ensure that once the war started, no one would be allowed to send out the news.
Luo Qianshan and Ying Long Sect Master, one is resolute and the other is cautious, and the two of them work together, which can be described as leaky.
The Water Dragon Sect is certainly a big faction in the East China Sea, but in front of the behemoth Ying Long Sect, it is only a small one.
As the so-called lion fighting rabbit also used all his strength, Ying Longzong shot with all his strength, and the Water Dragon Sect was subdued without even organizing effective resistance, and almost all those who dared to resist were killed.
When Luo Qianshan saw those mortals in a miserable situation, he was even more indignant, killed a lot of people, and finally if he didn't remember to keep a mouth alive, maybe he really killed all the enemies.
And even so, there are only three or two kittens left in the Water Dragon Sect, and they are on the ground.
But what Zi Baifeng paid most attention to was those trembling civilians, and he asked Luo Qianshan: "These people are all captive civilians?"
"That's just part of it, there's some ...... Alas...... "Luo Qianshan is unwilling to say any more."
"Let him tell you. Luo Qianshan simply stretched out his hand, pulled a monk from the side, and threw it in front of Zi Baifeng.
Zi Baifeng looked at it fixedly, and it turned out to be the Demon Slayer Jiao who had escaped just now.
At this time, where is the high-spirited master just now, he is covered in blood, one arm is broken, lying on his stomach softly, half of his face is swollen, and a line of black blood flows out of his eyes, I don't know if he has been blown up.
"Say everything you just told me again!" Luo Qianshan said coldly.
When Slayer Demon Jiao faced Zi Baifeng just now, he was still very reserved, but when he saw Luoqianshan at this time, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, he didn't even dare to raise his head, and squirmed his leaky mouth: "These people are all recruited this year......
It turned out that the reason why these sects of the Water Dragon Sect spent so much effort to deceive these people was because of the orders of the Four Great Immortal Mountains, this Water Dragon Sect was actually just a branch of Penglai Immortal Mountain, and then gradually broke away from Penglai Immortal Mountain and became their own faction, and their most important task was to offer enough people to Penglai Immortal Mountain. The water dragon faction should be in Donghai Prefecture, once every twenty years. Other state capitals along the coast also have other sects, all of which are sects under the Four Great Immortal Mountain Sects.
However, these sects are now independent after all, and they don't completely consider the interests of the four immortal mountains like before, these people will first pick and filter them, leaving some that can be used, and the rest will be sent to the immortal mountains.
"The rest, we ......" Before Demon Slayer finished speaking, he was kicked in the face by Luo Qianshan, and shouted angrily: "Those things who listen to dirty people's ears dare to talk nonsense!"
But he didn't want Demon Slayer Jiao to tell the fate of those people, which really polluted Zi Baifeng's ears.
But even if Demon Slayer didn't say it, how could Zi Baifeng not understand? The fate of those who were sent to Xianshan was not yet known, but those who stayed behind would know it by looking at Luo Qianshan's attitude just now.
Luo Qianshan is the most jealous and hateful, if it weren't for this, how could Luo Qianshan kill so many people, he really hated him.
The people who were sent to the Four Great Immortal Mountains don't matter for the time being, now there are still many people left here, how should these people be handled? Zi Baifeng was a little entangled.
Behind Zi Baifeng, Yu Chengzhong strode out, walked among the trembling civilians, and spoke loudly in the local dialect of the East China Sea.
The people, who were trembling and silent, suddenly knelt down in a large area, lay on the ground and shouted: "Ask the gods to help!
Yu Chengzhong waved his hands, stopped them from kneeling, and said loudly, those people, you look at me, I look at you, slowly separated the crowd, and walked out of a dozen or so people.
These men were men and women, and most of them were men, all twenty-seven or eighteen years old.
"My lord, there are more than 20,000 people here, from seventeen cities, all from cities on the coast of the East China Sea. Yu Chengzhong reported to Zi Baifeng, "These people are representatives of major cities, if you have anything you want to say or ask, you can ask them." โ
Zi Baifeng nodded slightly, and he had a lot of good feelings for Yu Chengzhong in his heart.
When those men and women arrived in front of Zi Baifeng, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, all thanking him for saving his life.
appeased these people, but Zi Baifeng frowned slightly, because these people couldn't let them go back immediately, because no one could guarantee whether the Four Great Immortal Mountains had planted spies in Donghai Prefecture, and even those officials in Donghai Prefecture might have been bribed.
As long as anyone sent the news back to the Four Great Immortal Mountains, the news leaked.
Therefore, Zi Baifeng had to move them to other places to live temporarily for a while, and then send them back when the rumors passed.
As soon as Zi Baifeng said this, the more than ten representatives present were stunned and looked at each other.
They thought that the suffering was going to end, but they had to go back, who would have thought that they would have to wait.
Who knows when it's going to happen next?
Qi Laosan is the representative of Luting Prefecture City, and he also pretends to be the best of these people, he sees that Zibai Feng scholar is dressed up, his appearance is handsome, he looks like a weak scholar, he speaks softly, and his panicked heart has just settled down, and he has a plan in his heart.
"My lord, it's not that we don't understand the rules and don't know how to be grateful, it's really that so many of us have already panicked and returned to our hearts like arrows, and please forgive us and allow us to go back. As soon as Qi Laosan said this, more than a dozen other people also clamored and said in a loud voice: "Please let us go back!"
In this case, the people who were elected to be the representatives of so many people in each of their cities were ordinary people, all of them were exquisite guys, and they saw that Zi Baifeng was actually pressed by Qi Laosan, and they also thought that they had caught a flaw, and they all made noise.
"My lord, a few of us don't care, but those people are some ignorant people, after all, there are more than 20,000 people, if there is a trouble, I'm afraid it won't look good. Qi Laosandao, he saw that Zi Baifeng and the person next door to his house were stupid and stupid, talking about the nerd who was going to take the imperial examination all day long, as if he was weak and bullied, and he even began to coerce the public, and there was even a faint threat in his voice.
For a while, Zi Baifeng was happy.
Do these people really know what they're doing?
He looked at Qi Laosan who was in a negotiation posture, and 10,000 grass and mud horses were galloping in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that this person was just a market man, Zi Baifeng would have slapped him and burst his brain.
If you really kill a few meats, who would dare to make trouble?
I was raised like pigs and dogs by those people of the Water Dragon Sect before, and I didn't dare to say half a word, but now I am being treated as a person, but I am starting to sรจ up?
If these people knew Zi Baifeng's reputation of "destroying people and full of people", I am afraid that they would have cried for their father and mother to kneel and plead for mercy.
It's just that they don't know anything, and it is precisely because the ignorant are fearless that they feel a few words of thanks, and they are worthy of Zi Baifeng's life-saving grace.
is really because Zi Baifeng's appearance is too deceptive, this young man wearing a green shirt and a smile on his face never gives people a sense of threat.
Zi Baifeng had long known that this would be the case, when he subdued the hearts of the people of Xiayan Village and Mengcheng, but there were many twists and turns, and Zi Baifeng had already had a very deep understanding of people's hearts.
Sometimes, if you want to win people's hearts, you not only need to be gentle, but also fierce.
As soon as he was about to scold with a straight face, Yu Chengzhong had already shouted angrily, and his voice was like thunder.
Then Yu Chengzhong slapped his hand, and he flew Qi Laosan out, lying on the ground, humming and chirping for a long time and couldn't get up.
Yu Chengzhong's strength is naturally not worth mentioning in front of Zi Baifeng and them, but in the eyes of these people, Yu Chengzhong and Zi Baifeng are the same as immortals, they are all immortals-like characters, seeing the anger of the immortals, Xiao Jiujiu just now suddenly flew away, and no longer remembered the little abacus he had just played, one by one, two wars, and almost knelt down again.
"You all listen, it is the kindness of my family to save you out, but if anyone has to inch in and give shame, then don't blame me for being unkind!" He stretched out his hand and pointed at these people, and angrily reprimanded, "You are all stupid, you are greedy, you don't ask for that ethereal fairy fate, and if you are sold as a beast, it is purely your own foolishness, if you use your own foolishness to blackmail the people who saved you, hmph, how can there be such a reason in this world? If you anger our adults, throw you to a lonely island, and leave you to fend for yourself." โ
As he spoke, he lowered his voice, made a fierce appearance, and sneered: "My family is kind-hearted and willing to save you, if you want me to say, what is the use of saving you useless waste?
Yu Chengzhong even coaxed and deceived, even threatened and intimidated, and always suppressed the little thoughts of these people, he was relying on everyone in the fishing city to be taken away, no one here knew his true face and true temperament, so that these people were stunned for a moment, and they didn't dare to say a superfluous word.
Zi Baifeng listened to it next to him, but he was angry and funny in his heart.
If any monk was in front of Zi Baifeng, Zi Baifeng snorted lightly, they were afraid that they were so frightened that their souls flew, but these foolish people didn't know anything, Zi Baifeng couldn't really kill them all.
After all, these people are also his people.
Fortunately, although Yu Chengzhong is not a powerful monk, he has a seven-pronged and exquisite heart, and he does not fall into the box when he does things, and he does not stick to the form, and he is indeed a talent.
If you want to say that these people are pitiful, they are pitiful, but a small half of them are to blame, and the recruitment and selection, which looks very suspicious, can deceive so many people, and it can only be said that Li Lingzhi is dizzy, and the willing person has taken the bait.
At least the four immortal mountains have not been robbed or forced, haven't they?
Thinking of this, Zi Baifeng didn't have any sympathy, he smiled coldly, and said: "I was going to let you go back directly, but you people are insatiable and have to make inches, which makes me very unhappy, since this is the case, then you will go to the bitter cold land in the extreme north to reclaim the land for me, when to reclaim thousands of miles of fertile land, and when to let you go." โ
Yu Chengzhong smiled, comprehended, grabbed Qi Laosan, and drove the other representatives back to the more than 20,000 people, and I don't know how he added fuel and vinegar to announce the matter like this, I saw that the crowd was excited, and a group of people rushed up, dragging Qi Laosan and others into the crowd, fists, legs and feet together, beating them all over their bodies.
Now everyone knows that these representatives actually asked for this and that, which angered the gods and caused them to have a home and not be able to return home, where can they not hate itchy?
Qi Laosan, these people, were really smart but were mistaken by cleverness and burned themselves.
After a short time, these people elected some representatives, and Yu Chengzhong didn't bring them over, he said in a whisper, these people gradually divided into several teams and lined up.
"Sir, this Yu Chengzhong is a talent. Yan Xiaolei didn't know when he walked to Zi Baifeng's side and said.
"Yes, the qualifications for cultivation are average, but it is a good material for being an official. Zi Baifeng said with a smile, there is a shortage of people under Zi Baifeng, but if there are talents, he will not refuse to come, and he has already begun to find a place for this Yu Chengzhong in his heart.
"These people are all residents of coastal cities, most of them are fishermen, I think it would be good to arrange them to Yunzhou, this Yu Chengzhong, it is better to let him assist in management, and it can be regarded as making the best use of people." Yan Xiaolei said.
Yan Xiaolei is the official butler under Zi Baifeng, although he is young, he is thoughtful and open-minded, under his rule, whether it is the original Shanshui City or the current country of demons and immortals, they are all developing in an orderly and impressive manner.
He paused and said, "Sir, I mentioned to you before, assign a full-time administrator to each demon god to help them manage the believers under their command or the residents of their own demon country, these managers are preferably monks, and they must also understand the hearts of the people, so it is better to let this Yu Chengzhong be a pilot." โ
"Since you have taken a fancy to it, then I won't rob you of people. Zi Baifeng laughed.
Yan Xiaolei pursed his lips, deep in his heart, he still revered and worshiped Zi Baifeng, but between the words, there was no longer the cautiousness of the original "little tuozi", and the pattern was getting bigger and bigger. But there is one thing that makes Zi Baifeng quite helpless, he is indeed a bit like the earliest Zi Baifeng, quite old-fashioned and strict, and sometimes he will be speechless about Zi Baifeng's big grin.
Between the words of the two people, the fate of 20,000 people has been decided, and the fate of Yu Chengzhong has also been decided.
In fact, these 20,000 people were just an episode, and it didn't take long for Yunzhou to include them all in his own ice lake domain, and the entire island was cleared.
Although Yu Chengzhong wanted to know what Zi Baifeng was going to do next, the conversation and laughter of Zi Baifeng and the others he heard before had already decided the fate of a super sect and the pattern of the cultivation world, how could the agitation in his heart be described with pen and ink? But Zi Baifeng gave him a task, and he also knew that this was a rare opportunity, so he obediently followed the more than 20,000 people together.
After sending these people away, several golden sword demons picked up the surviving monks and kicked them to the ground.
Demon Slayer Jiao glanced up at Zi Baifeng, and then lowered his head deeply.
"Tell me, where are these four immortal mountains?" Zi Baifeng asked.
Demon Slayer Jiao had almost given up resistance before, at this time, he was asked by Zi Baifeng about the so-called Four Great Immortal Mountains, but he was shocked in his heart, and he was slapped by Luo Qianshan before to fly to the awe of Penglai Immortal Mountain, and at this time it was all back to his heart, he remembered Penglai Immortal Mountain's methods to traitors, and immediately regretted that he had poured beans before and said so much.
But this last bottom limit must not be broken, no matter how Zi Baifeng asked, he shook his head again and again.
"Good words to persuade you, if I fall into the general's torture to extract a confession from you, you will not obey to the death, I respect you as a man. But if this Demon Immortal asks you something, and you still pretend to be hard-boned, then even if you are purely asking for trouble. Luo Qianshan shook his head.
Luo Qianshan is telling the truth, Zi Baifeng is not very good at extorting confessions by torture, and he doesn't know how to create pain and make people confide the truth.
But why did he need this?
Since his field was completed, with the card "Net", anyone who is unwilling to cooperate has become a puppet in his card, obediently doing his best for him.
In a certain way, this feeling of losing freedom is more painful than being killed, even if you ask Wu Yunba and the others who have been subdued by Zi Baifeng now, they will still regret it.
Demon Slayer Jiao raised his head and glanced at Xiao Si, who was following behind Zi Baifeng, with low eyebrows, and suddenly realized that his apprentice was not betrayed, but subdued, on weekdays, they were like father and son, but now they don't even look at him, as if he has been a little servant for countless years, how can he not know that there are many means in this world, and there is no need to extort confessions by torture at all, and there is no need for verbal persuasion.
"That's it......" Demon Slayer Jiao said, "I am willing to take you to Penglai Immortal Mountain, but you must guarantee my safety." He looked up at Zibai Fengdao.
"You are not qualified to bargain. Luo Qianshan kicked him in the waist again, kicking him out of the air.
Demon Slayer Jiao was sad in his heart, who did he recruit and provoke whom? An hour ago, he was still the Great Elder of the Water Dragon Sect, calling for wind and rain, so unexpected. Now he has no human rights at all.
But in any case, it is better than losing self-consciousness and human rights.
Demon Slayer said in a hoarse voice: "The sea fairy mountain is endlessly changing, floating and uncertain, but the ice bee transformed by the villain's wind stone has the ability to hom to the nest, no matter where it is, you can find the way to Penglai Immortal Mountain, and please spare the villain's life, and the villain will be the work of dogs and horses!"
Zi Baifeng looked at the Demon Slayer Jiao, nodded for a while, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll give you a chance." โ
This demon slayer Jiao is a single.
can become a faction, and it is really not a simple character. In the days, they were like father and son, and now they didn't even look at him, as if they had been a servant for countless years, how could he not know that there are many methods in this world, and there is no need to extort confessions by torture or verbal persuasion.
"That's it......" Demon Slayer Jiao said, "I am willing to take you to Penglai Immortal Mountain, but you must guarantee my safety." He looked up at Zibai Fengdao.
