The fairy world collapsed, and the down-and-out gods were laid off and re-employed.

The relationship between the fairy world and the devil world is very delicate.

Immortals need the demon world to prove the value of their existence. Without the demonic world that does evil and kills cruelly in the human world, it would be impossible to reflect the compassion and compassion of gods and save all living beings. Once the devil is gone, the gods will not exist either

So from a long time ago, the fairy world will never completely eliminate the demon world. They are opposites but also interdependent.

It is precisely because of this that the Emperor of Heaven turns a blind eye in certain places.

They sometimes join forces to play a show with mortals to get what they want.

Taoyuan Township is just one of the incidents of cooperation between immortals and demons.

The demon world, under the banner of the fairy world, seeks out mortal superiors to come here to drink and have fun. The gods are responsible for fulfilling the promises given to them by the devil.

These superiors always thought that they were summoned by gods. Therefore, in addition to opening a large number of brothels, they also used their power to control the minds of mortals and make them believe that king and god are one.

Loyalty to the king means loyalty to God.

Their connection is getting closer and closer, and even when these mortal emperors can't find a reason to go to war with other countries, they can fight against "infidels" in the name of gods. They invade other countries and expand their territory, and the number of loyal "believers" in the gods will also increase.

Therefore, Xie Zezhi could not continue the investigation. If the truth were revealed to the world, mortal monarchs and those in power would find themselves deceived. The main reason is that they have no interests. In order to quell the public resentment, they will immediately separate from the divine authority and put all the blame on the gods and demons to stabilize their rule.

Then the fairy world will not only lose the incense under the blessing of the monarch, but also the incense of the people will not be much. This wave of "destroying gods" will be even worse than the last time.

Furthermore, if the Helian family attacks mortals, even if the fairy world does not pursue them, the other three families in the demon world will find an excuse to put them to death and share their demonic energy. Although the Helian family has its shortcomings, at least it also involves the main war faction in the demon world. If the balance of the Demon World family is broken, no one can say whether there will be a war.

"Whether it's the fairy world or the demon world, the Helian family must protect it!" Ling Xuanche just looked at Jiang Zhixia and said patiently: "I know you feel uncomfortable, but think about it, it only takes one or two hundred people every year. The peace between immortals and demons and the stable aura of the immortal world. Can’t you settle this account?

And these people's sacrifices were not in vain. How much wealth will their passing bring to their families. A poor family's income is less than five taels throughout the year. If they encounter natural or man-made disasters, they will have to sell their children and daughters. The most money it can sell to a mortal is how much silver. But if they send people in, they can get a lot of wealth and turn around. I don’t know why you want to break all this? "

Jiang Zhixia turned her head, her eyes were red, and she said word by word: "For them to be able to live as human beings! For them to have the right to choose! Because they are poor, it is natural for them to sell their children and daughters, and sell themselves; so they They should be oppressed by strong power; so they should have no dignity and do anything to survive?"

"If you don't even care about food and clothing, why do you need dignity?" He said: "That's how things are in the world. Can a noble person be used as food?"

"Then who made them suffer poverty and make them have no dignity!?" She said sternly: "Whose hands did their money go to? With the power of the world to support one, the monopoly class makes the poor even poorer. The rich get richer, is it their fault?”

Ling Xuanche couldn't argue with her, but he didn't think he was wrong. Their status and views are different, so there is no point in arguing.

He sighed and reassured her: "Jiang Zhixia, it's very naive of you to think like this. This is an exchange of political interests, and it's not something you can resolve with just a word of patience."

"Emperor, you are wrong." Xie Zezhi interrupted him. He was full of anger just now, but now he has returned to his usual calmness, "She is not the one who is naive. She understands the morality of it better than you."

"Zhao Heng, now is not the time for you to act on your impulse and show off your strength in front of the one you love." He said, "Do you know the consequences of this matter?"

"What could it be?" Xie Zezhi asked back: "It's nothing more than the collapse of people's faith, the movement to destroy 'gods' has once again begun in the mortal world, the fall of the immortal world, and the fall of the heavenly palace. And I, the 'chief culprit' who buried the immortal world, was pushed to the execution platform. I will bear the infamy for all generations to come. What else can I do?"

"Then you don't care about the lives of so many gods?"

"How could they ever put other people's lives in their eyes?" He said calmly: "Since they allow this kind of thing to happen, they should understand that one day they are discovered and they will be punished several times higher. , this includes you, Emperor. You are also one of the accomplices if you don’t report the information."

"You!" Ling Xuanche was furious, "It took a long time for the fairy world to regain its former peace and comfort..."

"A mistake is a mistake. If you make a mistake, you must correct it! Even if you have to remove the bones and peel the skin, you must correct it!" He held Jiang Zhixia's hand and said: "I have practiced for many years to become an immortal, and I just want to be comfortable. To cooperate with the demon world for the sake of comfort. To oppress the weak in comfort. The fairy world has come to this day just for the sake of comfort! Now I don’t care about my life, I just want comfort! What is the need for this kind of fairy world to exist? "

"As a minister of the heaven, you must be loyal to the immortal world!"

"I just want things to be the way they should be!"

"Have you thought about it?"

"Although there are thousands of people, I will go."

Ling Xuanche waved his sleeves and left. Before leaving, he said to Jiang Zhixia: "If you follow him to the dead end, I won't be able to protect you."

"Ha." Jiang Zhixia chuckled and said: "Protect me? Ling Xuanche, before I became an immortal, I was sold to a brothel run by you. If I had not chosen to escape that day, my fate would be no different from that of the people in Taoyuan Township. .You protect me? What a joke."

Ling Xuanche seemed to have been hit hard by something. He suddenly didn't dare to look at her, turned around and left in embarrassment.

Seeing him leaving, Jiang Zhixia sat on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief, laughing at herself: "Now I am really going to become a sinner in the immortal world."

She looked at Xie Zezhi, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Fortunately, I am not from the fairy world due to my special status. I can make as much trouble as I want, and you just..."

"I'm with you." He half-crouched next to her and held her hand. "This time we don't have to act or go to the fairy world. We are here for the poor people who have been deceived and for the innocent souls who have no way to complain. Come here, we will seek justice for them.”

Jiang Zhixia caressed his cheek gently and sighed: "The good Zhenjun was led to bad by me after all."

"When the time comes, I will be expelled from the Immortal World, and I will ask Master Jiang to take me in."

"I don't even know where I will go or how I will take you in."

"That's it. We can only tell people's fortunes and sell amulets." Xie Zezhi said warmly: "If you are not a god, your moral level does not need to be so high. Our first hexagram will be told to the guy who sells fried cakes at the foot of Dongyao Mountain and tell him that if If you don't sell six of my wives, you will be ruined."

She chuckled, lightly punched his shoulder, and gave him an angry look, "Let's talk about business. I'm not serious all the time."

But because of this joke, the depression lingering in her heart also eased.

Some things must be done, no matter how difficult they are.

Ji Chen looked at them. In addition to feeling sad, I also admire Xie Zezhi's ability to relieve her stress and make her laugh no matter what the situation. It turns out that she likes him not because she spends a lot of time with him.

Ji Chen began to think about what he could do for her.

After a while, he said: "Zhixia, I...I will take you to that magic circle."

Seeing her puzzled look, he explained: "If you want to solve the problem here, the magic circle that transports demonic energy to the demon world must be destroyed. It is the foundation of the Helian family and the pillar of the demon world. But there is demonic energy there. It’s so thick that I couldn’t get close a few times, maybe you can.”

Jiang Zhixia felt that what he said was reasonable, nodded in agreement, and looked at him with admiration.

In order to avoid the attendants outside becoming suspicious, Ji Chen stayed with her in the room for another two or three hours.

Although her attention is always on Xie Zezhi, she is willing to stay with her now. He is satisfied that he can still see her and hear her voice. He looked at the two of them and quietly imagined Xie Zezhi looking like himself.

Two hours later, Ji Chen put on the mask again and went out with her. There is no time in Taoyuan Township, and there is no distinction between day and night. There are people outside all the time.

This time Jiang Zhixia clamored in front of the entourage and asked Ji Chen to take her to Guangzhu.

Ji Chen, on the other hand, is like a "foolish king" and meets all her demands. An attendant came forward to persuade him not to get close, but he revealed his identity and took her to the vicinity of the magic circle.

The closer she got to the magic circle, the worse the evil energy on Jiang Zhixia's body, and her heart and lungs seemed to be torn apart by the huge evil energy. Xie Zezhi noticed her discomfort and told her not to get closer.

She and Ji Chen retreated nearby, thinking: With such a strong demonic energy, it is impossible to get close, so how can we break the magic circle?

Suddenly, Xie Zezhi used sound transmission to tell her to go east. She didn't know why, but she did as she was told, with Ji Chen following closely behind her.

Later, Xie Zezhi asked her to go south. She walked a hundred or two hundred meters, and he asked her to stop.

"What's wrong?" She didn't see anything unusual here.

"There is another magic circle here." Xie Zezhi said: "It's very weak."
