Caoyun County, standing in the gray sky.

The people on the city wall washed the city wall over and over again with water from buckets.

The east gate of the county town slowly opened.

With a slight rein, the black dragon let out a wail, lifted its slender legs, and walked into the city gate.

Once, Liu Heng, who lost the Ningchuan Pass, also entered the East City Gate when he returned to Caoyun County.

Same gates, different people.

The mood, but it's all the same silence.

There is a long hair that is scattered and his face is expressionless.

The black dragon carried him down the marble streets.

The soldiers of the Liu family who were stationed in Caoyun County gathered on the side of the street.

The soldiers stood between the houses, by the wells, pushing each other on the narrow corridors.

Bursts of exclamations came from the crowd.

More than 8,000 soldiers of Liu Jun with white belts walked into Caoyun County dejectedly.

Peel Feather and Li Xi rode on war horses, walking on both sides of the stretcher that was carried by the soldiers.

Liu Heng's body was covered with a white cloth, and he couldn't see his face and body clearly, but all the Liu family soldiers who saw the stretcher knew who the people on the stretcher were.

As the stretcher entered Caoyun County, the silent atmosphere gradually enveloped the entire county.

Arigen rode the black dragon and walked to the spire attic in the county town.

That night, black ribbons were tied to the plaque in the attic.

In the center of the black ribbon, it bulges into a bud-like shape.

A coffin made of white jade stood quietly in the hall.

The coffin had no lid, and Liu Heng was lying in the coffin, with a faint red glow exuding from his body.

The fire-based Yuan Gang floated on the surface of Liu Heng's corpse, isolating the corpse from contact with the outside world.

"Days of trekking. ”

There was a plain white linen cloth. Stand quietly in front of the coffin.

He looked at Liu Heng in the coffin, gradually curled the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were a little distracted.

"You've lost a lot of weight. ”

The chief of Chi held the Nanmu tablet with the word Liu Heng written on it in both hands, and walked to Yougen's side step by step.

The barbarian pursed his lips slightly, tears in his eyes.

"Take a break. ”

"You have only refined the White Jade Leo and consumed so much more energy. ”

Hearing this, Yougen was silent.

The Chi Chief walked past Yougen and placed the plaque in front of the coffin.

"He's gone, what are you going to do?"

The Chi Chief stood back beside Yougen and turned to face Yougen.

There was an inquiring look in his eyes. Eyes with tears in their eyes, staring at the face of the roots.

"Do you need to talk about it?"

Yougen turned his head, facing the Chieftain.

He was a little puzzled, and replied as a matter of course: "Of course, revenge." ”

Hearing this, Chief Chi lowered his head slightly and wiped the tears from his cheeks with his arm.

"I've heard it all. ”

"This time's opponent, is it Aomine?"

"Or the whole Daomen?"

"There are roots. ”

The Chi Chief shook his head and pursed his lips again.

"You have to think clearly, the Daomen are not counties. ”

Hear the words. Yougen looked at the Chi Chief and removed the smile from his face.

"What do you mean?"

"No, nothing. ”

The Chieftain shook his head, dodging a rooted gaze.

He took a step back. After saluting with a fist in front of Yougen, he turned and left.

Why?

Yougen narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look at the distant back of the Chi Chief.

Outside the attic, it was crowded.

The atmosphere is not right.

"What exactly?"

Yougen turned. Towards Liu Heng's tablet, he whispered to himself.

"The county lord. ”

Arigen raised his right hand and moved his palm in front of his face.

He clenched his palms in vain. And it spreads out naturally.

"How many are our brothers?"

"And how many have decided to look for other paths?"

People are different.

"I don't need it, those useless people. ”

Yougen threw up his sleeves and put his hands behind his back, and turned to face Liu Heng's tablet.

His eyes narrowed, his face grim, and a ruthless look in his eyes.

The road is different.

"Nor is it needed, people who doubt me. ”

A light wind blew into the temple and stirred up the fire on the brass frame beside the pillars.

In the early hours of the morning, when the night fades and the day is approaching.

There is a root that surrounds the spire attic, the Taoist house that has stood for 10,000 years.

The atmosphere in Caoyun County froze for a while.

The stone brain trembled all over and rolled over and jumped off the horse.

Peeling feathers showed a pale, trembling body, constantly shaking.

Bayu and Li Xi, as well as Monkey Stone, Eagle's Beak, and Fu Lei, all looked at the closed door in front of them, trembling all around.

Seven men stood at the front of the soldiers, all with torches in their hands.

The flame burned on the tarpaulin that wrapped the pine branches, and the steaming heat overflowed around the flames.

In front of the plaque given to Liu Heng, three long incense sticks were put on, and then he turned around and walked out of the spire attic.

He walked towards the Taoist temple step by step, and scattered the soldiers around the Taoist temple in front of Yougen.

There was a blank expression on his face, and he walked past the soldier.

There were only 1,300 soldiers surrounding the Taoist temple, and these people were all rooted cronies.

They followed Yougen very early, and they all pushed Yougen to become the leader.

Only they, with roots, can be fully trusted.

But even these soldiers who were trusted by Yougen looked at Yougen with surprise and hesitation in their eyes at this time.

Passing past the many hesitant soldiers on the road, Yougen showed indifference and walked to the Taoist temple.

Yougen spread out his hand and took the torch that the naphtha had handed him.

"You wait. ”

Arigen stretched out his left hand and pushed open the closed wooden door.

He walked into the Taoist temple and walked to the grass house in the Taoist temple.

The stone statue of Daozu stood quietly in the grass house, and in the sandalwood box where the long incense was originally placed, only the white ashes remained.

One of them held a torch high and walked into the grass house.

"How long have you been here?"

Arigen raised his head and looked at the face of the stone statue.

Two white lights like stars flashed on the eyes of the stone statue, and then into the eyes of Yougen.

"Lonely?"

"Huh. ”

Yougen muttered to himself and shook his head.

His voice was a little low, but his tone was still calm.

"You have received the incense of the world for so many years, and you have been worshiped by so many people. ”

"But what does this have to do with me?"

"I'm just a Chinese Han Chinese, and I don't have the slightest connection to this world. ”

"However, the cruel reality finally let me know that whether I have any connection with this world is simply a trivial matter"

"The Chinese sages once said that do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself. ”

"It's ridiculous!"

Yougen lowered his head slowly, his eyes leveled forward.

"These Confucianisms that have flowed in my blood and have been passed down for thousands of years are simply ridiculous, and I have been humiliated by reality to the point where I am now, and I finally understand. ”

Yougen took a deep breath, raised the torch in his right hand, and jerked up his left hand.

"What, that's what I'm supposed to do!"

One gritted his teeth and looked hideous.

He spread out his left hand, his palm turned slightly towards the sky, and the golden Yuan Gang gathered on the palm.

He raised his voice violently, gathering Gangyuan in his throat.

"From now on!"

"I'd rather be responsible for the world!"

"Don't let it, the world dares to bear me!"

Punched out, and the brilliant golden light flame rushed towards the stone statue of Dao Ancestor.

"Bang!"

In the rising dust and smoke, the stone statue of Daozu collapsed into pieces. (To be continued......)
