she won't live to twenty

Mustache was stunned, with a little guilt in his eyes, but he didn't mean to avoid it: "Girl, do you all know?"

Wuming raised his eyebrows: "Don't you know that using living people to sacrifice evil gods is against the laws of Great Qin?"

"Of course I know, but I'm just an ordinary person, what can I do?" Mustache shook his head and sat down beside him, "There was a family who wanted to save the sacrifice, but they were killed on the spot by members of the Six Eyes Sect. The whole body was not left behind, and it was burned to Six Eyes."

"Six Eyes Teaching?"

"Yes, I don't know how many years ago, the Six Eyes Sect suddenly appeared in Yanbei. They erected a statue of the Six Eyes in Yanbei City, forcing the residents to believe in the Six Eyes. Sacrifice... We heard that every time a person is sacrificed, the divine power of Liuyan will be recovered by one point, and the power of the leader of the god religion will also be increased by one point."

Tang Chiyu frowned: "Extremely stupid!"

Wuming asked: "Where is the county magistrate in your city? He just ignores this matter?"

"What's the matter..." Mustache lowered his voice, "He and the leader of the Six Eyes Sect are in cahoots, relying on the Sect to make money, how can he care about the life and death of ordinary people?"

"Is that what you told us?"

"Because the three girls are foreigners and they are all people from the Jianghu, so it's okay to talk about it." Mustache shook his head and sighed softly, "I really envy you Jianghu people with skills, who come when you say it, and leave when you say it. , very unrestrained and happy. If we were driven out of Yanbei City, we would either be hacked to death by bandits, or join those bandits to live out our days. How would it be different from living in the city? At least we still have a family here, and every day Although the moon will meet with the festival, there is no need to do it yourself."

Mustache said to himself: "Sometimes I also hope that the imperial court can visit our Yanbei, but the terrain here is remote and the land is barren. To the northwest is Weibei, which is full of wind and sand, and to the northeast is the once prosperous but now Niaobula Shit’s ruins of the Northern Jin Dynasty, just such a broken place, why is the imperial court willing to take a look at us?”

In the original text, after the Weibei War broke out, the area that fell into chaos first was indeed the area north of Jishan.

"Forget it, three girls, today I made a slip of the tongue and accidentally said too much." Mustache got up and left, and finally warned, "Tonight is the festival, girls must not go out, and leave Yanbei early tomorrow."

As soon as the mustache left, Tang Chiyu said angrily: "That dog county magistrate! Those words he said in the county government really lied to us! I..."

She slammed it hard on the table.

Wuming lowered his eyes, recalling that when he and his two masters wandered in the rivers and lakes 11 years ago, although there was already chaos everywhere, it was not as chaotic as it is now.Although you can get a glimpse of the refugees and bandits in Daxing Mountain, you can only know what the hell on earth looks like when you really go to the northern border.

Robbers run rampant, people commit crimes, and cultists of evil spirits use living people as sacrifices. Ordinary people dare not be angry, let alone speak out.But the government not only failed to rectify such chaos, but also worked hand in hand with the treacherous people.

The city of Changjing is still prosperous, but even without the Weibei War a year later, how many years can this superficial prosperity last?

Nanyue saw that Wuming was restless, reached out to hold her fingers, and rubbed them lightly: "Wuming..."

Wuming came back to his senses: "The county magistrate is indeed an accomplice, but the one who is really behind the scenes is the Six Eyes Sect. The county magistrate deserves to die, and the people behind the Six Eyes Sect also deserve to die."

"Wuming, what do you mean..." Tang Chiyu calmed down and thought, "Let's take advantage of tonight's sacrifice to lure the leader of the Six Eyes Sect out and kill him?"

"Yeah." Wuming nodded, shook his head slightly, with a light smile on his face, "But what's the point of killing them? The Six Eyes Sect is gone, and another sect will pop up, Yanbei County If the order is gone, the imperial court may not necessarily send someone to take over. The Northern Jin Dynasty has been in decline for many years, and there will be another great chaos at that time, and those innocent people will suffer in the end."

"This..." Tang Chiyu was stunned for a moment, "Then we should write back to Beijing like Fengcheng did!"

"It's useless." Wuming shook his head, "Yanbei City is different from Fengcheng. Fengcheng is a waterway transportation hub, and its status is not low for the court. So even though the prefect of Fengcheng was doing evil in the city at that time, he cooperated with Fengcheng. Chengshui division, manage the relationship between the upper and lower levels, and don't let the things in the city go back to the capital. But Yanbei is just a small remote county, just like the little brother said, the court will not pay attention... At least Tang Zhi and King Qin, no. Although the crown prince is kind, but now that Tang Zhi is staring at him fiercely, he will definitely not be distracted from cleaning up Yanbei, which is completely thankless for him."

"Then why don't we do nothing?" Tang Chiyu stood up in confusion, with bloodshot eyes.

Wuming's words shook her.

From Changjing to the south, and all the way to the north, Tang Chiyu experienced many things, understood many truths, and even had a great wish in his heart to turn the whole world into a paradise.But after entering the northern border, she fell into a little bit of confusion.

Kill bandits, kill Yazi, kill Six Eyes disciples... There is no way to kill the end.

Wuming raised his head and looked straight into Tang Chiyu's eyes: "If it's just me, the answer is, yes, I can't do anything. As long as bandits don't mess with me, as long as Ren Yazi doesn't treat us like last night Goal, as long as I am not the one who sacrificed at the evil god ceremony... I will not do anything. But if the master is with me, he will definitely take me and the second master to stop tonight's ceremony and kill the cultists and Although the county magistrate knows he can't change anything, he never ignores the injustice in front of him."

Wuming took the dagger from his waist and threw it on the table.

"This sword was given to me by my master. He said that when he left Beijing with the sword, he originally wanted to use the sword to quell the injustices in the world. Later, he found that he didn't have that ability at all. Greed. He has something in his heart that he cannot give up, so he can only save the people in front of him, but not the people in the world. But in my opinion, he is already very powerful... As long as he can take the last step, he is a saint."

"Xiaoqi, the master wants you to travel this trip. First, he wants you to see clearly what the world looks like after leaving the Weibei military camp and the city of Changjing. Second, he wants you to make a choice."

"What choice...?"

"Do you want to be a cold-blooded person like me, or settle the injustices in front of you like the master, or...can abandon all worries and become a saint with the ambition to save the common people?" Wuming asked earnestly.

"Xiao Qi, you forgot that when we just left Beijing, we met Wang Liao and Wang Duo in the mountains. I said that there are too many similar injustices in this world, and you can't save them. Then when you encounter similar things in the future, you should save them." Don’t save? At that time you replied very firmly, save if you can, have you forgotten?” Wuming said softly, “If you forgot, then make a new choice now.”

"I..." Tang Chiyu clenched his fingers, took half a step back in a daze, but did not answer immediately.

"Go back to the room and think about it." Wuming said softly.

Tang Chiyu bit his lip and hesitated for a moment, before finally turning around and going back to the room.

Before Wuming came back to her senses, a pair of soft arms encircled her waist, and Nanyue hugged her tightly.

"Wu Ming, you are not...you are not what you said just now, you are not cold-blooded." Nanyue raised her head and looked at Wu Ming seriously with her black eyes, "Although you always say you don't want to meddle in other people's business, but every time You are the one who has done the most. It was like this when you helped Xiaoduo Xiaoliao find her father, and it was like this when you were in Fengcheng. Now that you are in Yanbei, as long as Seventh Sister wants to deal with Liuyanjiao, you will definitely help her .You are not cold-blooded at all."

In contrast, Nan Yue felt that she was the most selfish one.In small things, she may sympathize with others' misfortune, and she will reach out to help others out of sincerity, but in big things, she only sees a nameless person.

Whether it's the life or death of the Nan family, the rise and fall of Daqin, or the suffering of the people, she doesn't take it to heart.

She only had one thing on her mind.

That is to stay by Wuming's side.

The nameless emotions are her emotions.Nameless thoughts are her thoughts, and nameless fate...is her fate.

Nanyue knew that her feelings were paranoid and even pathological, but she couldn't control it.It is because of being nameless that she has a brand new life, so as it should be, everything about her is nameless.Her body, her soul, her everything, belong to the nameless.

Nanyue raised her head, her eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars, she stared at Wuming's eyes very seriously: "Wuming, you are not cold-blooded, so don't feel sad about it."

Wuming's eyes drifted back to Nanyue, and she raised her eyebrows slightly: "I didn't say I felt sad."

Nanyue moved up carefully, put her ear close to Wuming's heart, and said in a low voice: "I heard it, it was told to me here."

Wuming was startled, leaned on the bench with one hand, embraced Nanyue with the other, and smiled softly.

Nanyue's words made her throw away her armor and all her disguises, exposing her softest side in front of her.

"Indeed... Maybe it's because I've been a little tired these days, when I said those words to Xiao Qi just now, I was in a bad mood." The nameless finger gently stroked Nanyue's long hair, "But it's not sad now, Thank you, Nanyue."

After hugging like this for a while, the nameless finger moved back slightly, away from Nanyue's hair, put both hands on the bench, and leaned back slightly.

Sensing her movement, Nanyue carefully raised her head and looked directly into her eyes again.

Nanyue's hands moved around Wuming's waist, going higher and higher until they wrapped around her neck.Wuming bent her eyes and smiled, and Nanyue greeted her gently.

After leaving Nan Haomiao's merchant ship, it was a rare time for the two of them to be alone. Nanyue's cheeks were obviously thicker, and her movements were more skillful.Wuming propped her hands behind her back, but she didn't let Nanyue do whatever she wanted, but bit the tip of her tongue rather viciously, with a smirk in her eyes.

Even if you don't use your hands, there are many ways to bully little girls.

Nanyue originally lowered her head, she couldn't close her mouth this time, she could only twist it slightly, and after a while, saliva dripped out.Nanyue made a pitiful begging sound, but dripped more.The more embarrassed Nanyue was, the stronger the smirk in Wuming's eyes.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps came from behind that Wuming managed to loosen his teeth.Nanyue buried her head in her arms with all her strength, her ears were so red that she was about to bleed.

Nameless laughed so that his shoulders shook slightly.

Mustache, who came to clean up the dishes, always felt a little weird when he saw this scene, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

……

Before night fell, Tang Chiyu walked out of the room.

"Wu Ming, I don't know what choice to make yet. But..." Tang Chiyu said seriously, "I want to participate in the Six Eyes Ceremony tonight. I can save one person, so I can't stand by."

"Then go." Wuming tilted his head and chuckled.

As night fell, the streets were filled with eerie red lanterns again, and bells rang throughout the streets.The residents walked out of their homes slowly and walked along the street towards the statue in the center of the county.

With weapons on their backs, the three pulled out from the window of the inn, and galloped silently across the roof, and finally stopped on a house in front of the statue, watching quietly, waiting for the "sacrifices" and believers to appear.This time Wuming not only carried a sword, but also a wooden bow on her back, and Nanyue was not idle, helping her hold the quiver.

As the night deepened, only the people of the city surrounded the statue.

Wuming quietly lays his body on the roof, his ear tips move slightly, not letting go of any slight sound.Suddenly, there was a faint "click" sound on the ground in front of the statue, and someone stepped forward immediately, and broke the stone slabs on the ground, and a huge secret passage appeared out of thin air.

A few strangely dressed men with loose long hair came out of it, followed by a few people carrying the iron cage.Unsurprisingly, inside the cage was a young girl in white. Her hands were hung from the top of the cage, her eyes were covered by a white cloth, and she trembled silently in fear.

Wuming held the scimitar, but he was thinking that the secret passage could accommodate so many people, the scale must be quite large.But just now they did not find out where those people entered the secret passage, either they had already prepared in the secret passage, or the entrance of the secret passage was outside the city, and it is even very possible that the entire underground of Yanbei City is complicated and intertwined Secret passages.

However, it is absolutely impossible for the Six Eyes Sect to dig out such a large-scale secret passage in just a few years, so the secret passage is probably left over from the war between the Northern Jin Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty.Maybe she can use this secret passage to do something later.

When the last person walked out of the secret passage, Tang Chiyu's eyes widened and he cursed inwardly.

That man was the county magistrate of Yanbei County.

Those congregants who came out first obviously respected the county magistrate, and under his command, they placed the iron cage in front of the statue.The congregation retreated respectfully, and the county magistrate personally lifted the red cloth cover of the statue.

The huge six-eyed five-handed statue was exposed in the air, and one eye was facing an unknown direction, as if seeing everything about them.

Wuming frowned displeasedly, and gestured the middle finger to the god statue childishly.

"Wu Ming, is the leader of the Six Eyes Sect in there?" Tang Chiyu asked in a breathy voice.

Wuming carefully scanned the congregation in front of the statue, then looked around the crowd, and shook his head: "Not here."

She looked at the magistrate again.

Wuming noticed it when he reported to the official today. The county magistrate's psychological quality is not very good, and his acting skills are also poor. Anything is almost written on his face, and he will not hide it at all.Sure enough, at this time, the county magistrate seemed to be commanding the actions of the congregation in a majestic manner, but his body was shaking, and his face was much paler than during the day.

Wuming said disdainfully: "I'm afraid that the county magistrate will report to the leader as soon as we leave the county office today. The old fox guessed that we would do something tonight, so he hid in the dark and dared not come out."

"That……"

"Catch the county magistrate and threaten him to tell where the leader is." Wuming said and shook his head again, "But I suspect that the secret roads under Yanbei City are complicated, and by the time we get there, the old fox will have disappeared long ago. But...at least We can save this girl today."

Tang Chiyu nodded vigorously.

The sacrificial ceremony in front of the statue was carried out in an orderly manner, Wuming Wusheng took off the longbow from his back, and Nanyue handed over a feathered arrow.

Wuming skillfully drew the longbow and pointed it at the statue.

The moment the congregation opened the iron cage and pushed the girl in white out, the nameless finger let go.

"action."

At the same time as the arrow was shot, Tang Chiyu drew his sword aggressively and jumped down from the roof. The long sword slashed on the ground and kicked up dust.

"Ahem..." The crowd subconsciously covered their faces and avoided, making way for her.

And Wuming has already shot three arrows.

The first arrow crushed the six-eyed statue's head, the second arrow pierced the throats of the congregation holding the girl in white, and the third arrow pierced the county magistrate's shoulder.

When Wuming brought Nanyue down from the roof, Tang Chiyu had already held the county magistrate under his feet, stepped on his chest to watch him spit out a mouthful of blood, and at the same time pressed his long sword against his neck.

Wuming cut off the shackles on the white-clothed girl's hands, and Nan Yue hurried forward to support her.

The surrounding crowd panicked and retreated a large distance.Those few congregants had a lot of backbone, they took out weapons from their pockets and aimed at Wuming, but it's a pity that their martial arts were really bad, and they all died with just one move.

The decapitated statue stood in a red light, and below it were the corpses of the congregation, like a real hell.

Wuming didn't put away his knife, and glanced back at the surrounding residents. Immediately, there was a cry of fear from the crowd, and the residents ran away one after another.One door after another was tightly closed, and the entire county was eerily silent.

Soon, the red lanterns were almost extinguished, and the night was shrouded in darkness, leaving only darkness in the city.

"Your Highness...your highness...get around me, get around me!" the county magistrate hoarsely begged, "I was also coerced! It was the leader of the Six Eyes Sect who threatened me! When the Six Eyes Sect appeared in the city , I also asked the court for help, but the court didn't care about us! My county magistrate is useless, and even my monthly salary is sometimes robbed by bandits. If I didn't cooperate with Liuyan Sect, I, I would have dead!"

"Even if I leave here, the imperial court will not send many people to pick me up. When I was sent to this place where the birds don't shit, I was almost hacked to death by bandits. If I leave, it will be a dead end! I have no choice ! There is no other way...How can you noble people who have lived in the palace since childhood and grew up with rich clothes and fine food understand?"

"If you were in the same situation as me, you would make the same choice!" The county magistrate's voice was extremely hoarse, "Yes, people will die if they sacrifice to Liuyan, but people die all the time in this world? Why don't you Going to save them, why come to make things difficult for me... I just, I just want to live..."

Tang Chiyu was still stepping on him, but the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.She looked up to the far south, her eyes filled with anger.

Yes, the Six-Eyed Sect deserves to die, and the county magistrate who is in the same boat deserves to die, but what about the rulers in Changjing who turn a blind eye to all this...?What is wrong is not a single person at all, but the world itself.

"You are wrong! We will never compromise like you. Because we are incompetent and cowardly, we will disregard the lives of the people! We will make completely different choices. This has nothing to do with our growth environment, but because of our nature. That's the kind of people we are, we are fundamentally different from rotten people like you!"

Tang Chiyu let out a foul breath, the fingers holding the sword no longer trembled, she whispered: "Forget it, you won't understand."

The next moment, the anger in Tang Chiyu's eyes faded, and turned into a calm, but it was this calm that made the county magistrate feel even more terrifying.

"Give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, tell us where the Six-Eyed Leader is, so that you can die more quickly." Tang Chiyu said calmly.

After the county magistrate heard the word "death", his body trembled violently, his eyes almost lost focus, and he couldn't say a word "ahhh".

"what--!"

Tang Chiyu pulled out the arrow on his shoulder without hesitation, and stabbed hard into the other shoulder until the county magistrate's screams subsided, and she said in a low voice: "I have stayed in Weibei for three years, so Knowing how to extract information from prisoners of war, if you want to end all this quickly, it is better to speak out."

"I, I, I..." The county magistrate trembled for a long time, and finally regained his sanity, "I know, he is, he is..."

At this time, a feathered arrow shot from a distance, and shot through the county magistrate's head impartially!

Tang Chiyu raised his head abruptly.

Wuming was separated from them by a certain distance, so she couldn't defend against the arrow, but she could clearly see the trajectory of the arrow!Wuming looked up, and saw a man in black standing on the southeast roof, pointing at them with a bow.

"Third grade only." Wuming glanced at the arrow, and protected Nanyue and the girl in white behind him, "Little Qi, protect yourself!"

Then she took out the bow again, took the arrow handed over from Nanyue, and aimed at the man in black on the roof.

The man in black was originally aiming at Tang Chiyu, but at this time he was provoked by Wuming, so he turned the direction of the bow and arrow so that he was facing Wuming!

Two feathered arrows were shot at the same time.

At this time, the man in black was downwind and at a high place, no matter the direction of the wind or his position, he completely suppressed Wuming.

However, when the two arrows collided, his downwind arrow was split in half by the unnamed headwind arrow, and fell to the ground with a "click" and was rolled by the wind.When the man in black looked at the arrow on the ground in disbelief, the nameless arrow had already reached his forehead.

"One... one product?"

The man in black fell limply, his eyes were full of fear until death.

Wuming was about to put away his bow and arrow, but he heard horseshoes coming from not far away.

Wuming drew his bow again, and shot arrow after arrow into a dark street. There were constant sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground, but the sound of horseshoes still did not stop. Instead, they got closer and closer.

Wuming put away the bow and arrow, handed the short sword to Nanyue, and the two swords were unsheathed to protect her tightly behind her.

Tang Chiyu stood on the other side, also protecting Nanyue and the rescued girl in white.The white cloth from the girl's eyes hadn't been removed yet, she couldn't see anything at this moment, she could only crouch down instinctively with her arms folded, her body trembling constantly.

Hundreds of cavalry swarmed from both sides of the street and surrounded them.

The author has something to say: oh
