After being dressed as the evil god
Chapter 100
"This..." Tao Xika paused, not knowing how to address him.
"Li Quan."
"Senior Li." Tao Xi bowed deeply, "Thank you for saving me."
It is not impossible for him to deal with the sudden transformation of those corpses into demons just now, but I am afraid that these people under him will not be able to survive intact, even if one or two of them are confessed here, it is not impossible.
Li Chi nodded slightly, as if he had accepted his thanks, and as soon as he lifted his footsteps, he was ready to leave.
"Senior, please stop." Tao Xi hurriedly said.
Seeing Lichi stopped, Tao Xi thought for sure, and didn't say anything else that he must thank you, but sincerely bowed again, and asked directly: "Junior Tao Xi, a member of the Disciplinary Department. Excuse me, senior, what happened here?" ?”
During the catastrophe, there were many evil cultivators who caused chaos, and some real hermits were born.You can't hide your thoughts in front of a real Youdao expert. His gratitude is true, but what he wants is also true. Compared with asking for other reasons, it is better to ask for advice directly.
Li Chi didn't answer directly, but said: "Let's go out first and then talk about it." After saying that, his figure disappeared in place, and the next moment he stood at the entrance of the cave, and he stopped there and turned his head slightly.
The armored chariots on several stone pillars in the cave began to decay rapidly, and debris and dust fell down.Without these supports, the stone pillars also began to become unstable, and the entire cave began to crumble.
Tao Xi and the others also reacted. Now that the darkness and resentment in the cave have dissipated, they no longer have to worry about not daring to cast spells. They have walked for several hours before, and now they returned to the entrance of the cave with just one breath.
Outside the entrance of the cave, the four-pattern collar who had been outside before saw a strange figure flashing in front of his eyes. Just as he was on guard, Tao Xi came out of the cave with other people. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, he came out again relax.
As soon as Tao Xi left the entrance of the cave, he saw Lichi standing outside the cave with his palms loosely facing the small hill.He turned his head to look at the small hill. After losing the support, the whole hill began to collapse, and even the rocks and turf on it fell down in one piece, but there was no sound, which was not a kind of shock.
After the whole land has subsided, the original raised hills have turned into a sunken valley, with weeds still growing solidly on it, and even the fallen stones and collapsed soil cannot be seen, as if here It was like a valley.
Tao Xi looked back at Lichi, only to see that his palms covering the small hill had been lowered and covered by the hanging wide sleeves.After eliminating the movement of the hills collapsing, he didn't even see much spiritual energy fluctuations.
As the Qiwen collar in the Disciplinary Department, Tao Xi naturally knew this method.Ordinary cultivators cast their spells with Dharma Jue, and it is necessary to transport the spiritual energy. The spiritual energy will naturally fluctuate between the heavens and the earth.But those who understand the inspiration don't need magic tricks, the inspiration is mysterious and natural, and there will be no fluctuations in the spiritual energy.
Although the latter is rare, it is not uncommon for Tao Xi's level, and he himself has some insight into the inspiration.It's just that during the great catastrophe, the chaos in the heaven and earth became more and more serious, and it became rarer and rarer to continue to use the inspiration to cast spells.At this time, those who can use such means are all practitioners who have gone a long way on a certain path.
Although he was too oppressed by the environment to use spells when he was in the middle of the mountain, Tao Xi didn't just take a trip.He had already memorized the layout of the cave, and the stone pillars that had engulfed the armored chariot hundreds of years ago were arranged in a formation.Although there are many formations in the world, the basic changes are all the same. These pillars are the parts that are placed on the bright side, and Tao Xi can still see that some formations are used for the wheel.
In addition to shaping the vortex-like environment and forcing all creatures entering the mountainside to enter the center, it also has the functions of gathering evil spirits and attracting souls.
This is an ancient battlefield 700 years ago, where countless warriors of the Liang Kingdom were pitted and killed. Such a place is the most prone to variables.The souls of Liang Jun who died in vain in the pit were indeed taken over into the nether world and reincarnated again. The countless will-o’-the-wisps in the cave were not Liang Jun back then. The will-o'-the-wisp with no ability, I'm afraid it has become a terrifying ghost soldier long ago.
The grievances and evil spirits in the ancient battlefield should have been cleaned up, but too many people were killed in this place, and the flesh and blood of the soldiers who died in vain were all melted into the soil. Although the evil spirits were eliminated at that time, they still became I left a wasteland, where no food or medicine could grow except barren weeds, and even the goats that could gnaw the roots of the weeds were not willing to eat the weeds that grew here.Therefore, this piece of land has never been cultivated, and it has been left here.
The will-o'-the-wisps in the cave are ghosts who have just died. From the looks of it, I'm afraid most of them are the hungry people who died in the catastrophe nearby.But it is not that there are one or two old ghosts in the cave.In the center of the formation, among the will-o'-the-wisps surrounding Li Quan at that time, there were a few bloody lights in the flames, already insane and full of resentment, and if they were released, they would definitely cause disaster.
The highest collar in the Division of Disciplines only has nine sea patterns on it. Although those with a low number of sea patterns are not necessarily weak, those with weak strength will definitely not be able to get a collar with a high number of sea patterns.There are seven sea marks on Tao Xi's collar, which is already a rare high position in the discipline department, but the one or two big ghosts he saw in the center of the formation were enough to make him feel troublesome.
Because of the heavy grievances of these big ghosts, it was difficult for him to determine the age of these old ghosts, but he could only be sure that none of them were more than a hundred years old.Ghost cultivators have been cultivating for less than a hundred years, but they are already able to make him feel troublesome, so their strength must not come from cultivation, but from resentment.
Their grievances were so thick and terrifying, and they had suffered so many hardships during their lifetime, which made Tao Xi naturally think of the skeletons near the center of the formation - they were all people who died no more than 23 years ago.
From 23 years ago to a year ago, the catastrophe had not yet occurred, and Liang Guo was not as chaotic as it is now. The Disciplinary Department still has control over the domestic situation.Tao Xi remembered very clearly that there were always monks with six-pattern collars sitting in Gannan City.According to the regulations of the Department of Precepts, the territory of the Liang Kingdom is divided into several major areas. The town of Liuwen sits in town all the year round, and the seven patterns patrol the border every three years. Tight but not leaky.
But just like that, in the past 23 years, the Disciplinary Department has never discovered that this ancient battlefield has been secretly uncovered again, and it has been sent to living people for sacrifices.The inner third of this large formation is full of freshly dead bones!In the past 23 years, how many people have died?Why has such a large handwriting not been discovered?
Besides that, there is one more point.No matter how fierce the ancient battlefields were to destroy the land, 700 years have passed.For 700 years, has this piece of land been well maintained?Was this bureau set up 23 years ago, or... was someone secretly doing it 700 years ago?
Thinking of this, Tao Xi shuddered.He did not suspect that there was a problem within the Disciplinary Department. The reason why the Disciplinary Department had such great power and was able to control the complicated situation in Liang's country was inseparable from the reason why it was named so.
The so-called Discipline Department does not just set disciplines and strictly supervise the monks in Liang’s country, but also means that all members of the Discipline Department need to abide by the discipline.
However, the precepts received by the people in the precepts department are different from the precepts practiced by Marquis Wu, and they are not the same method.The precepts practiced by Marquis Wu include the precepts, and he strictly guards himself. After he completes the precepts, he can obtain special precepts and supernatural powers. However, the precepts received by the precepts are much more relaxed. It is not like the precepts. The restrictions on oneself are as nuanced as the law, and there is no supernatural power of precepts.
To put it bluntly, the precepts in the Precepts Department are just a means to maintain loyalty and allow the precepts to share in the fate of Liang Guoguo—all the practitioners who enter the Precepts Department receive the first precept is to protect Liang Guo and Xu Guo. Shi.
As long as they abide by this precept, they can enjoy the protection of Liang Guo's luck, and their own luck will also be transferred to Liang Guo.Even so, the luck of a country is obviously much greater than the luck of a person. With the protection of the country's luck, they can reduce many bumps on the road of cultivation.The more precepts one receives, the higher the national fortune will protect oneself, up to nine in total.Only by receiving more precepts can one obtain a higher position.This is actually a matter of mutual benefit. The more people in the Precepts Department, the greater the fortune of Liang Guo, and the greater the fortune of Liang Guo, the more benefits will be fed back to the people in the Precepts Department.
The only thing to worry about is that if they violate the precepts they have received, the foundation of their practice on top of it will inevitably collapse.There is no hiding it.
Tao Xi could roughly see the function of the formation in the mountain. After it led all the resentment and ghosts to the center of the formation, it would inevitably produce terrifying changes.However, when they arrived at the center, Senior Li Quan was already sitting there, and the melody of a zither melted the formation. No matter what the real purpose of the formation was, it was now empty.
This is a good thing, but the responsibility lies, the more the Disciplinary Department can understand this matter now, the better it will be resolved in the future.
"This formation means the veins of the earth." Li Chi said.
Tao Xi's complexion did not change, but he was shocked in his heart.It is not a trivial matter to involve the earth veins, and it is impossible to have only this one arrangement, not to mention that the opponent has arranged it for an unknown number of years. Although the formation here has been destroyed, there are still many other places.He couldn't help feeling anxious, and he bowed again and asked for advice: "This matter is of great importance, please teach me, senior, Wanwang don't hesitate to teach me!"
He begged earnestly, but Li Quan slowly shook his head and said: "I just saw the difference in Qi mechanism in the middle of my travels, and I discovered this formation just now, so I have nothing to teach you."
Tao Xi was worrying, but suddenly heard a voice in his ears: "There is an ancient village in the north of Liang State, named Shenshu Village, and there are also arrangements for the land veins in the village. The village has been destroyed, and there are still remnants."
He recognized that it was Li Quan's voice transmission, and looked up at Li Quan calmly, but he saw nothing on Li Quan's face, as if the voice transmission just now was not from him.
Tao Xi didn't move, as if he had accepted the result, and changed the topic: "Where are you going, senior?"
"Look at Gannan City." Li Chi said.
"This is exactly our destination, can I invite seniors to go with me?" Tao Xi smiled.He has a square face and regular features. He looks about forty or so in appearance, with a few strands of white hair on his temples. He speaks calmly and heartily. His eyes are bright but not sharp. He looks very sincere and makes people feel good.
Li Chi nodded and said "yes".
Tao Xi gave him a brief apology, first went to the front to pick up the few people and horses who had stayed outside before, and wrote two letters that were double-encrypted and self-destructive, one was sent directly by magic, and the other handed over to him. He gave Si Wenling, who had entered the burrow with him, and ordered him to return to Liangdu with the letter.
There is no need to explain, the rest of the team thought that he kept senior Li Quan to go with him because of something in the cave, but Tao Xi knew that he was because of the sound transmission.
The formation in the Catacombs has been destroyed, even if the Disciplinary Department sends another expert, the information that can be seen is limited.The Shenshu Village mentioned by senior Li Quan is the key point. Even if it is as the senior said, Shenshu Village has been destroyed, but it is possible to check the clues of two different places and the results of only one place. , is not the doubling of one plus one equals two.
Even if he had personally walked through the crypt, if he wanted to find out about this matter, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.However, if Shenshu Village is added and the intersection of the two clues can be found, it will save a lot of time.Time is of the essence.
But when Senior Li Quan told him the clues of Shenshu Village, he used a voice transmission method that no one else knew about.This made Tao Xi feel bad. Could it be that senior Li Quan was implying that there was a problem in the Disciplinary Department?
Tao Xi frowned inwardly, but didn't show it on his face.Everyone in the Discipline Department is bound by the oath and precepts, and everyone hopes that Liang Guo is better, but this precept does not guarantee that the Discipline Department is monolithic. In fact, the factional disputes in the Discipline Department are not at all cleaner than those in the court.When there is a fight, there will be a loophole that may be exploited by others.
In addition, although Tao Xi has confidence in the precepts of the Precepts Department, he also knows how loose the precepts are.Most of these precepts talk about the mind regardless of deeds. It is not impossible for someone in the Precepts Department to be deceived and think that what they did did not violate the precepts, but they have been used by others.
These thoughts and the colleagues in the Disciplinary Department circulated countless times in Tao Xi's mind, but the behavior on the surface made it impossible to see any clues. He treated Senior Li Quan with respect and closeness, but even for the Disciplines Everyone in the company will be suspicious, how can he completely trust this senior Li Quan whom he met by chance?
If he trusts someone so easily, he probably won't live to become Qiwenling.
The place where the group stopped before was not far from Gannan City. Walking along the official road, they soon saw the high walls of Gannan City.
Gannan City is not a small city, and there are countless large and small villages and farms outside the city. Appears a dark golden color.But now, these fields have been flooded with weeds as tall as a person.When no one cleans them up, their savage vitality is enough to swallow every inch of land.
All these lands are good, they grow such lush weeds, and they can also grow the full-grained food, which is the best medicine for famine in the world.It's a pity that in the previous disasters, those who could take care of the land had already fled.
Harvesting takes time, but people have to eat every day.At the beginning of the famine, some old people would rather die of starvation than leave grain seeds, which is the hope for their children and grandchildren to survive next year.But later, no one left food to grow, and if they stayed, the last member of the family would not be able to survive.But how long can you live after eating grain seeds?How long can you live if you eat bark?How long can you live if you eat grass roots?
Famine is a disease.The earth is rich in virtue, nourishes all things to grow, and it is there; people have hands and feet, and they spare no effort, and they are there.This kind of land and this kind of people exist, but the land will be barren and people will starve to death.
Even a bird that could not find a single seed in the sky to feed its hunger did not dare to stop until its exhausted wings could no longer sustain a single flap, and it fell straight to the ground, where the hungry people rushed to pick it up, and died before they had time to pluck their feathers. Torn with pale teeth.
Horseshoes rattle.
People from the Disciplinary Department galloped past on the official road.
Common people are not allowed to go on the official road, but not many people care about this in this season.The official road is the smoothest and best road, which means relatively safe and saves energy, both of which are very important for people fleeing famine.
Compared with these runaways in shabby clothes, the cavalry team of the Disciplinary Department is too conspicuous on the official road.The fat and strong horses usually represent the power that people can't avoid, but now, they represent meat.
Ordinary people will never understand the starving people, but they can see it.The Cavalry Team of the Discipline Department has encountered hungry people many times, and every time they will be stopped to beg for food. The hungry people dare to stop the horses. little available.As for those horses, they will become food for the hungry people.
The cavalry team of the Disciplinary Department was very experienced in dealing with these hungry people. They would not stop, but they would not let the horses step on them either.They have magic.
But this time, the people in the discipline department did not use their spells.These hungry people fleeing the famine did not come up to stop them. At most, they just cast their eyes on this out-of-fit cavalry team, and then continued on their way to the city gate.Their eyes are not the usual kind of numbness that can live a day, they have light in their eyes.
The reason for this is also very simple.On this official road, apart from the deserters and people like the Disciplinary Department, who are not deserters because of their attire, there are also this group of people in gray and black clothes maintaining order.
These gray and black civilians began to yell from half a mile outside the city gate, telling the refugees not to fight, that there was free food at the gate in front of the city, and they could enter the city in line, and there was work in the city, so they could exchange food.
Each of them wears a big cloth bag and a water hyacinth around their waists, and they watch over a section of the road respectively. Once they see a fleeing person exhausted, they take out dry biscuits from the cloth bag and feed them with the water in the gourd. Take people to the roadside to rest under the shade of trees, and let them continue to line up at the gate of the city after they recover.
These people saved people with the food they carried with them, and they were not stingy. The long queue at the gate of the city was also visible, so those fleeing famine also believed their words, and insisted on walking towards the gate of the city as long as they could still support themselves.
A refugee who had been fed and helped to rest by the side of the road asked the person next to him in black and gray cloth, "Is there really that much food? Is it just distributed to us?"
These words were full of uneasiness, as soon as he asked, the other people who were also temporarily resting here also pricked up their ears and looked over.
"Don't worry!" the man assured, "There must be enough food, but it's not gray hair. Those who have just entered the city can receive food for a few days, but after that they have to work, which is not difficult. Those with skills will be allocated according to their skills, and those without skills will also have jobs."
"Like me, I also fled from the famine, and I came here half a month earlier than you. I am now assigned to my job here, and it has been like this for the past half a month. As long as there are people who escaped from the famine, I will take them in! There is work to do, food and clothing!"
He patted his chest to assure people that from the wrinkles on his face and the calluses on his hands, he was indeed an ordinary person, with traces of the suffering he had suffered before.
The guarantee given by such a person undoubtedly reassures the fleeing famine.
But people still have doubts, and continue to ask: "There are so many of us, how can we have enough food?"
The man replied without the slightest impatience: "If it's an ordinary big family that distributes food, it's definitely not enough."
Not to mention ordinary people, according to such a collection method, even the official warehouse may not be enough.Most of them are ordinary farmers. They may not know anything about mountains and rivers, but they are definitely the most sensitive to food.
But the man in gray and black continued proudly: "But the ones who give us food are not those rich families or officials, but gods! The gods of Xuan Puritanism!"
Immortals know magic, so of course they can have a lot, a lot of food!
After hearing this, the other escapees were really relieved, and said happily, "So they are living gods from the Xuanqing sect!" "That's great!" "You don't have to run away anymore!"
For these ordinary farmers, they don't know and don't need to know what kind of sect Xuanqingjiao is. They only need to know that Xuanqingjiao is a sect for practitioners. It is a very reasonable logic to do things that ordinary people can't do, and they can naturally produce a lot of food.
It would not be surprising for such a thing to happen in any other vassal state, but such a scene happened in Liang State.
Liang Guo is a country full of evil sects, and monks have a bad reputation among ordinary people.Just like when Li Chi had just entered the border of Liang State, Xu Tian's first reaction was suspicion when he showed the way to Xu Tian and Xu Li who encountered ghosts beating the wall.This is the experience accumulated by the people of Liang Guo in their many years of life.Rather than helping mortals, the practitioners of the Liang Kingdom are more likely to use their minds, flesh and blood, and even souls to cultivate.
But here, the people in gray and black uniforms only mentioned Xuan Qingjiao's name, and these deserters felt really at ease.
Xuanqingjiao has quietly established such a reputation among the ordinary people in Liang Guo.This is really a terrible thing.
Some people in the cavalry following behind had already frowned unconsciously, but Tao Xi's expression was as usual.A group of people walked outside the city gate in a blink of an eye.
Now the city is under strict control, and soldiers are lined up at the gate, and they are not allowed to enter directly.The city gate is divided into three areas, one is for the porridge team for deserters, the other is for those who are going to enter the city to issue number plates, and the last one is for those who have received number plates to rest while waiting to enter the city In the area, there is a temporary tea shed, in which a few people sat in twos and threes, and a lame old man with gray hair was selling tea.
The cavalry stopped outside the tea shed and got off their horses. The people in the tea shed had noticed this cavalry for a long time and looked at them one by one. The lame old man selling tea became the calmest one. After seeing someone coming again , holding a stack of rough porcelain bowls and preparing to pour tea from the pot.
The crippled old man was indeed just an ordinary man, with the marks of suffering etched on his thin, wrinkled face and sinewy hands.He is also a refugee who was taken in by Gannan City. The people who can sit in this tea shed, whether they are high-ranking practitioners or rich and powerful in the world, are too far behind him.When the gap is large enough, it makes no difference whether it is one or a hundred heavens.No matter what the plans of these people sitting in the tea shed were, he, an old man who almost died in the famine, could not influence them. If so, why should he care about them?
A breeze quietly fell beside him, manifesting a figure in dark blue robes.He appeared too naturally, which was obviously an amazing thing, but no one felt abnormal, as if he should have been there in the first place.
Without Tao Xi's instructions, there was already a two-pattern collar and he went to line up for the number plate.
After sitting in the tea shed, almost everyone looked at them.The sea pattern on their collars is too eye-catching.After the catastrophe began, although the Liang State was in chaos, the authority of the Discipline Department was still there, not to mention that there were seven sea patterns on Tao Xi's collar.
In Liang Guozhong, everyone knows that there is a place where the Discipline Department is haunted, and there must be something related to monks.Naturally, the Division of Disciplines will not always be dressed so conspicuously when they go out to do errands.The so-called open and unannounced visits means that there must be both open and unannounced visits.What Tao Xi and his party were responsible for was not to conduct unannounced visits to Xuanqingjiao. The catastrophe has been going on for so long, and the power of Xuanqingjiao has expanded rapidly. Now it is more conspicuous than lice on a bald head. It would be foolish to hide your identity and pretend that you didn't discover Xuan Puritanism.
However, even though he came here for Xuanqingjiao this time, Tao Xi still focused more on Li Quan.
Holding the pot, the old man shuffled over and poured bowls of tea one by one. After collecting the money for the tea, he was called by other guests to ask questions.
The guest was asking about the situation in Gannan City, but he actually meant Xuanqingjiao.The lame old man didn't know if he heard it, but he answered whatever the guest asked, and he didn't mean to hide it at all.The original prefect of Gannan City is still alive, and he is still in charge of Gannan City in name, but in fact...he is either threatened by Xuanqingjiao or cooperates with Xuanqingjiao. Today Gannan City has undoubtedly fallen Under the control of Xuan Qingjiao.
This made the people in the Disciplinary Department frown, but the old man said it was very gratifying.He called the people in Xuanqing religion the living gods who save the suffering, and his gratitude is beyond words.
Tao Xi chatted with Li Chi on the one hand, and made a slight gesture on the other.
A three-pattern collar spoke to the old man: "Old man, the prefect is still here, why do you only think of the Xuanqingjiao, but not the kindness of Liang Guo? Could it be that the prefect is not doing well?"
The old man was taken aback by this question, and then said: "I don't know if the prefect is doing well or not, I just know that I heard people say that there are gods from the Xuan Puritan sect here to release food here. After I came here, I was also a Xuan The Puritan gods saved me, my son and my grandchildren, and arranged for us to live and work so that we can survive."
There was a new guest in the tea shed, and the old man stopped talking after answering, and went to pour tea for the new guest with a limp.
Several people in the Disciplinary Department frowned. He might not think there was any problem with what the old man said, but they understood what it meant.Gannan City was built by Liang Tu, and the houses in the city were built by Liang, but now the name of Xuanqingjiao has overshadowed Liang. These people... only know Xuanqingjiao but not Liang.
The new guest was wearing a thin hooded cloak of black satin and silver, which was not very noticeable when he walked in. At this time, he took off the hood and untied the cloak, revealing the pattern of honeysuckle embroidered with gold and silver thread under the cloak He was wearing a purple brocade robe and a face that looked like translucent white jade. He raised his long and narrow eyes and slanted at several people in the discipline department. He sneered and said, "Why? Do you think Xuan Qingjiao stole Liang Guo's limelight, and you can't get used to it?"
The meaning of these words was too vicious, and several young people in the discipline department showed anger on their faces, but they did not answer the words without authorization.
Tao Xi turned his head to look at the new guest, his expression was very calm, he didn't seem to be irritated at all, and his tone was very peaceful: "Saving people is a meritorious deed, and the people are innocent. There is nothing to be disliked about doing meritorious deeds. But in this world, it’s not that people’s families are not slaughtered, and then pretending to be a savior to save another living person, it has become a benefactor’s business.”
"Really? Since the important figures in the Disciplinary Department said so, they must have something to rely on. Why don't you come and listen?" The man in Jinyi's eyes became colder, and his voice was like a cold spring.He had an extremely handsome face, and he was even more imposing against the backdrop of his fine attire. Although he didn't show the aura of a monk, it forced a few young people in the discipline department to turn pale.
Tao Xi was as stable as a mountain, and said: "The person who received the precepts is not a big shot, but he has some experience. No matter how ingenious the tricks of the world's ingenious people, they will not be able to get around a hurdle in the end. Let him write as densely as in the hidden fog, and in the end The result will reveal itself and its purpose. Just look at who is benefiting, and you will know who is doing it."
Although the catastrophe was difficult to endure, Liang Guo had accumulated a lot, so it would not have been so miserable.There are countless heretic sects that have stirred up trouble during the catastrophe, but none of them has benefited as much as Xuanqingjiao—before the catastrophe, few people had heard of the name of Xuanqingjiao, but now, it has fallen to The city in the hands of Xuan Qingjiao is more than Gannan City.
"The seven-pattern collar in the Disciplinary Department is really quick-witted and unparalleled." The man in brocade slapped his palms with a light smile, then suddenly closed his smile, without any expression on his face, and said softly, "I just want to ask you a question."
"There are quite a few cities that are still under Liang Guo's control. Have they saved those cities?"
Tao Xi didn't say anything, so he didn't have to answer.The face of the lame old man who sells tea has revealed the color of bitterness and hatred.
These people who fled famine did not start fleeing famine recently, nor did they find Gannan City all at once.Many of them have traveled through many different cities, even some of them fled outside Liangdu.But when he was ten miles away from Liangdu, he was expelled by Liang Jun.
The reason is very simple, it is Liangdu, how can it be allowed to be attacked by the victims?
Although there are official warehouses in some places, they are not even willing to open them to release grain. The reason is very simple. The official grain is limited and there are many hungry people. They will go from robbing official warehouses to robbing high-ranking households with food reserves, and then to robbing ordinary households that are passable.
This is not imaginary. There are not many disaster victims who gathered in groups and turned into thugs. Many small towns only guarded by fences were slaughtered by the victims.On the premise of survival, the bottom line of human morality cannot be lowered easily, and once some bottom lines are broken, they will never come back.The robbed victims may be just grabbing food at first, but the robbed people will resist, resistance will arouse hatred, the gap in life will arouse injustice, and injustice will arouse anger.
Since there are going to be fights anyway, and people are going to kill people anyway, then why do they just grab food?
Firewood, clothes, houses, women...
Most people in this world, after doing certain things, will not regret for too long, because if people want to live, they must let their conscience live. I lost my conscience.After losing conscience, the world will open up another look.
Not to mention those victims who turned into thugs, that is, these people who fled to Gannan City, how many of them didn't leave anything behind during their escape?
The old tea seller said that Xuan Qingjiao saved him, his son, and his little grandson.I don't know if he has a granddaughter, but since he has a son, he has a wife.Where is his daughter-in-law?Where is his daughter-in-law?How did they survive after fleeing famine for so long?
Those who survived the famine were always more men than women, and more young and old than young.
But these words cannot be spoken, and cannot be used as an excuse for not saving people in the face of these suffering victims.
Famine is a disease.A layer of skin was peeled off from the sick people, leaving only the naked body to be polished by the wind and sand.But you can sympathize with his pain, but you can't show him the skin that was peeled off.When not watching, this person can still live like a human being through suffering and pain, but if you show him, he may not be able to be a human being anymore.
The new man in brocade clothes took the tea bowl, his porcelain-white fingers seemed to be filled with cold air, and the tea bowl was so cold that there was no heat in the blink of an eye.He sat down at the table across from the Disciplinary Department, ignored the silent Tao Xi, and looked at the dark green robed qin-bearer next to him, his long and narrow eyes were half-raised, revealing the lower half of a distinct black eyeball, revealing A little sharp light came out: "What do you think?"
"Li Quan."
"Senior Li." Tao Xi bowed deeply, "Thank you for saving me."
It is not impossible for him to deal with the sudden transformation of those corpses into demons just now, but I am afraid that these people under him will not be able to survive intact, even if one or two of them are confessed here, it is not impossible.
Li Chi nodded slightly, as if he had accepted his thanks, and as soon as he lifted his footsteps, he was ready to leave.
"Senior, please stop." Tao Xi hurriedly said.
Seeing Lichi stopped, Tao Xi thought for sure, and didn't say anything else that he must thank you, but sincerely bowed again, and asked directly: "Junior Tao Xi, a member of the Disciplinary Department. Excuse me, senior, what happened here?" ?”
During the catastrophe, there were many evil cultivators who caused chaos, and some real hermits were born.You can't hide your thoughts in front of a real Youdao expert. His gratitude is true, but what he wants is also true. Compared with asking for other reasons, it is better to ask for advice directly.
Li Chi didn't answer directly, but said: "Let's go out first and then talk about it." After saying that, his figure disappeared in place, and the next moment he stood at the entrance of the cave, and he stopped there and turned his head slightly.
The armored chariots on several stone pillars in the cave began to decay rapidly, and debris and dust fell down.Without these supports, the stone pillars also began to become unstable, and the entire cave began to crumble.
Tao Xi and the others also reacted. Now that the darkness and resentment in the cave have dissipated, they no longer have to worry about not daring to cast spells. They have walked for several hours before, and now they returned to the entrance of the cave with just one breath.
Outside the entrance of the cave, the four-pattern collar who had been outside before saw a strange figure flashing in front of his eyes. Just as he was on guard, Tao Xi came out of the cave with other people. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, he came out again relax.
As soon as Tao Xi left the entrance of the cave, he saw Lichi standing outside the cave with his palms loosely facing the small hill.He turned his head to look at the small hill. After losing the support, the whole hill began to collapse, and even the rocks and turf on it fell down in one piece, but there was no sound, which was not a kind of shock.
After the whole land has subsided, the original raised hills have turned into a sunken valley, with weeds still growing solidly on it, and even the fallen stones and collapsed soil cannot be seen, as if here It was like a valley.
Tao Xi looked back at Lichi, only to see that his palms covering the small hill had been lowered and covered by the hanging wide sleeves.After eliminating the movement of the hills collapsing, he didn't even see much spiritual energy fluctuations.
As the Qiwen collar in the Disciplinary Department, Tao Xi naturally knew this method.Ordinary cultivators cast their spells with Dharma Jue, and it is necessary to transport the spiritual energy. The spiritual energy will naturally fluctuate between the heavens and the earth.But those who understand the inspiration don't need magic tricks, the inspiration is mysterious and natural, and there will be no fluctuations in the spiritual energy.
Although the latter is rare, it is not uncommon for Tao Xi's level, and he himself has some insight into the inspiration.It's just that during the great catastrophe, the chaos in the heaven and earth became more and more serious, and it became rarer and rarer to continue to use the inspiration to cast spells.At this time, those who can use such means are all practitioners who have gone a long way on a certain path.
Although he was too oppressed by the environment to use spells when he was in the middle of the mountain, Tao Xi didn't just take a trip.He had already memorized the layout of the cave, and the stone pillars that had engulfed the armored chariot hundreds of years ago were arranged in a formation.Although there are many formations in the world, the basic changes are all the same. These pillars are the parts that are placed on the bright side, and Tao Xi can still see that some formations are used for the wheel.
In addition to shaping the vortex-like environment and forcing all creatures entering the mountainside to enter the center, it also has the functions of gathering evil spirits and attracting souls.
This is an ancient battlefield 700 years ago, where countless warriors of the Liang Kingdom were pitted and killed. Such a place is the most prone to variables.The souls of Liang Jun who died in vain in the pit were indeed taken over into the nether world and reincarnated again. The countless will-o’-the-wisps in the cave were not Liang Jun back then. The will-o'-the-wisp with no ability, I'm afraid it has become a terrifying ghost soldier long ago.
The grievances and evil spirits in the ancient battlefield should have been cleaned up, but too many people were killed in this place, and the flesh and blood of the soldiers who died in vain were all melted into the soil. Although the evil spirits were eliminated at that time, they still became I left a wasteland, where no food or medicine could grow except barren weeds, and even the goats that could gnaw the roots of the weeds were not willing to eat the weeds that grew here.Therefore, this piece of land has never been cultivated, and it has been left here.
The will-o'-the-wisps in the cave are ghosts who have just died. From the looks of it, I'm afraid most of them are the hungry people who died in the catastrophe nearby.But it is not that there are one or two old ghosts in the cave.In the center of the formation, among the will-o'-the-wisps surrounding Li Quan at that time, there were a few bloody lights in the flames, already insane and full of resentment, and if they were released, they would definitely cause disaster.
The highest collar in the Division of Disciplines only has nine sea patterns on it. Although those with a low number of sea patterns are not necessarily weak, those with weak strength will definitely not be able to get a collar with a high number of sea patterns.There are seven sea marks on Tao Xi's collar, which is already a rare high position in the discipline department, but the one or two big ghosts he saw in the center of the formation were enough to make him feel troublesome.
Because of the heavy grievances of these big ghosts, it was difficult for him to determine the age of these old ghosts, but he could only be sure that none of them were more than a hundred years old.Ghost cultivators have been cultivating for less than a hundred years, but they are already able to make him feel troublesome, so their strength must not come from cultivation, but from resentment.
Their grievances were so thick and terrifying, and they had suffered so many hardships during their lifetime, which made Tao Xi naturally think of the skeletons near the center of the formation - they were all people who died no more than 23 years ago.
From 23 years ago to a year ago, the catastrophe had not yet occurred, and Liang Guo was not as chaotic as it is now. The Disciplinary Department still has control over the domestic situation.Tao Xi remembered very clearly that there were always monks with six-pattern collars sitting in Gannan City.According to the regulations of the Department of Precepts, the territory of the Liang Kingdom is divided into several major areas. The town of Liuwen sits in town all the year round, and the seven patterns patrol the border every three years. Tight but not leaky.
But just like that, in the past 23 years, the Disciplinary Department has never discovered that this ancient battlefield has been secretly uncovered again, and it has been sent to living people for sacrifices.The inner third of this large formation is full of freshly dead bones!In the past 23 years, how many people have died?Why has such a large handwriting not been discovered?
Besides that, there is one more point.No matter how fierce the ancient battlefields were to destroy the land, 700 years have passed.For 700 years, has this piece of land been well maintained?Was this bureau set up 23 years ago, or... was someone secretly doing it 700 years ago?
Thinking of this, Tao Xi shuddered.He did not suspect that there was a problem within the Disciplinary Department. The reason why the Disciplinary Department had such great power and was able to control the complicated situation in Liang's country was inseparable from the reason why it was named so.
The so-called Discipline Department does not just set disciplines and strictly supervise the monks in Liang’s country, but also means that all members of the Discipline Department need to abide by the discipline.
However, the precepts received by the people in the precepts department are different from the precepts practiced by Marquis Wu, and they are not the same method.The precepts practiced by Marquis Wu include the precepts, and he strictly guards himself. After he completes the precepts, he can obtain special precepts and supernatural powers. However, the precepts received by the precepts are much more relaxed. It is not like the precepts. The restrictions on oneself are as nuanced as the law, and there is no supernatural power of precepts.
To put it bluntly, the precepts in the Precepts Department are just a means to maintain loyalty and allow the precepts to share in the fate of Liang Guoguo—all the practitioners who enter the Precepts Department receive the first precept is to protect Liang Guo and Xu Guo. Shi.
As long as they abide by this precept, they can enjoy the protection of Liang Guo's luck, and their own luck will also be transferred to Liang Guo.Even so, the luck of a country is obviously much greater than the luck of a person. With the protection of the country's luck, they can reduce many bumps on the road of cultivation.The more precepts one receives, the higher the national fortune will protect oneself, up to nine in total.Only by receiving more precepts can one obtain a higher position.This is actually a matter of mutual benefit. The more people in the Precepts Department, the greater the fortune of Liang Guo, and the greater the fortune of Liang Guo, the more benefits will be fed back to the people in the Precepts Department.
The only thing to worry about is that if they violate the precepts they have received, the foundation of their practice on top of it will inevitably collapse.There is no hiding it.
Tao Xi could roughly see the function of the formation in the mountain. After it led all the resentment and ghosts to the center of the formation, it would inevitably produce terrifying changes.However, when they arrived at the center, Senior Li Quan was already sitting there, and the melody of a zither melted the formation. No matter what the real purpose of the formation was, it was now empty.
This is a good thing, but the responsibility lies, the more the Disciplinary Department can understand this matter now, the better it will be resolved in the future.
"This formation means the veins of the earth." Li Chi said.
Tao Xi's complexion did not change, but he was shocked in his heart.It is not a trivial matter to involve the earth veins, and it is impossible to have only this one arrangement, not to mention that the opponent has arranged it for an unknown number of years. Although the formation here has been destroyed, there are still many other places.He couldn't help feeling anxious, and he bowed again and asked for advice: "This matter is of great importance, please teach me, senior, Wanwang don't hesitate to teach me!"
He begged earnestly, but Li Quan slowly shook his head and said: "I just saw the difference in Qi mechanism in the middle of my travels, and I discovered this formation just now, so I have nothing to teach you."
Tao Xi was worrying, but suddenly heard a voice in his ears: "There is an ancient village in the north of Liang State, named Shenshu Village, and there are also arrangements for the land veins in the village. The village has been destroyed, and there are still remnants."
He recognized that it was Li Quan's voice transmission, and looked up at Li Quan calmly, but he saw nothing on Li Quan's face, as if the voice transmission just now was not from him.
Tao Xi didn't move, as if he had accepted the result, and changed the topic: "Where are you going, senior?"
"Look at Gannan City." Li Chi said.
"This is exactly our destination, can I invite seniors to go with me?" Tao Xi smiled.He has a square face and regular features. He looks about forty or so in appearance, with a few strands of white hair on his temples. He speaks calmly and heartily. His eyes are bright but not sharp. He looks very sincere and makes people feel good.
Li Chi nodded and said "yes".
Tao Xi gave him a brief apology, first went to the front to pick up the few people and horses who had stayed outside before, and wrote two letters that were double-encrypted and self-destructive, one was sent directly by magic, and the other handed over to him. He gave Si Wenling, who had entered the burrow with him, and ordered him to return to Liangdu with the letter.
There is no need to explain, the rest of the team thought that he kept senior Li Quan to go with him because of something in the cave, but Tao Xi knew that he was because of the sound transmission.
The formation in the Catacombs has been destroyed, even if the Disciplinary Department sends another expert, the information that can be seen is limited.The Shenshu Village mentioned by senior Li Quan is the key point. Even if it is as the senior said, Shenshu Village has been destroyed, but it is possible to check the clues of two different places and the results of only one place. , is not the doubling of one plus one equals two.
Even if he had personally walked through the crypt, if he wanted to find out about this matter, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.However, if Shenshu Village is added and the intersection of the two clues can be found, it will save a lot of time.Time is of the essence.
But when Senior Li Quan told him the clues of Shenshu Village, he used a voice transmission method that no one else knew about.This made Tao Xi feel bad. Could it be that senior Li Quan was implying that there was a problem in the Disciplinary Department?
Tao Xi frowned inwardly, but didn't show it on his face.Everyone in the Discipline Department is bound by the oath and precepts, and everyone hopes that Liang Guo is better, but this precept does not guarantee that the Discipline Department is monolithic. In fact, the factional disputes in the Discipline Department are not at all cleaner than those in the court.When there is a fight, there will be a loophole that may be exploited by others.
In addition, although Tao Xi has confidence in the precepts of the Precepts Department, he also knows how loose the precepts are.Most of these precepts talk about the mind regardless of deeds. It is not impossible for someone in the Precepts Department to be deceived and think that what they did did not violate the precepts, but they have been used by others.
These thoughts and the colleagues in the Disciplinary Department circulated countless times in Tao Xi's mind, but the behavior on the surface made it impossible to see any clues. He treated Senior Li Quan with respect and closeness, but even for the Disciplines Everyone in the company will be suspicious, how can he completely trust this senior Li Quan whom he met by chance?
If he trusts someone so easily, he probably won't live to become Qiwenling.
The place where the group stopped before was not far from Gannan City. Walking along the official road, they soon saw the high walls of Gannan City.
Gannan City is not a small city, and there are countless large and small villages and farms outside the city. Appears a dark golden color.But now, these fields have been flooded with weeds as tall as a person.When no one cleans them up, their savage vitality is enough to swallow every inch of land.
All these lands are good, they grow such lush weeds, and they can also grow the full-grained food, which is the best medicine for famine in the world.It's a pity that in the previous disasters, those who could take care of the land had already fled.
Harvesting takes time, but people have to eat every day.At the beginning of the famine, some old people would rather die of starvation than leave grain seeds, which is the hope for their children and grandchildren to survive next year.But later, no one left food to grow, and if they stayed, the last member of the family would not be able to survive.But how long can you live after eating grain seeds?How long can you live if you eat bark?How long can you live if you eat grass roots?
Famine is a disease.The earth is rich in virtue, nourishes all things to grow, and it is there; people have hands and feet, and they spare no effort, and they are there.This kind of land and this kind of people exist, but the land will be barren and people will starve to death.
Even a bird that could not find a single seed in the sky to feed its hunger did not dare to stop until its exhausted wings could no longer sustain a single flap, and it fell straight to the ground, where the hungry people rushed to pick it up, and died before they had time to pluck their feathers. Torn with pale teeth.
Horseshoes rattle.
People from the Disciplinary Department galloped past on the official road.
Common people are not allowed to go on the official road, but not many people care about this in this season.The official road is the smoothest and best road, which means relatively safe and saves energy, both of which are very important for people fleeing famine.
Compared with these runaways in shabby clothes, the cavalry team of the Disciplinary Department is too conspicuous on the official road.The fat and strong horses usually represent the power that people can't avoid, but now, they represent meat.
Ordinary people will never understand the starving people, but they can see it.The Cavalry Team of the Discipline Department has encountered hungry people many times, and every time they will be stopped to beg for food. The hungry people dare to stop the horses. little available.As for those horses, they will become food for the hungry people.
The cavalry team of the Disciplinary Department was very experienced in dealing with these hungry people. They would not stop, but they would not let the horses step on them either.They have magic.
But this time, the people in the discipline department did not use their spells.These hungry people fleeing the famine did not come up to stop them. At most, they just cast their eyes on this out-of-fit cavalry team, and then continued on their way to the city gate.Their eyes are not the usual kind of numbness that can live a day, they have light in their eyes.
The reason for this is also very simple.On this official road, apart from the deserters and people like the Disciplinary Department, who are not deserters because of their attire, there are also this group of people in gray and black clothes maintaining order.
These gray and black civilians began to yell from half a mile outside the city gate, telling the refugees not to fight, that there was free food at the gate in front of the city, and they could enter the city in line, and there was work in the city, so they could exchange food.
Each of them wears a big cloth bag and a water hyacinth around their waists, and they watch over a section of the road respectively. Once they see a fleeing person exhausted, they take out dry biscuits from the cloth bag and feed them with the water in the gourd. Take people to the roadside to rest under the shade of trees, and let them continue to line up at the gate of the city after they recover.
These people saved people with the food they carried with them, and they were not stingy. The long queue at the gate of the city was also visible, so those fleeing famine also believed their words, and insisted on walking towards the gate of the city as long as they could still support themselves.
A refugee who had been fed and helped to rest by the side of the road asked the person next to him in black and gray cloth, "Is there really that much food? Is it just distributed to us?"
These words were full of uneasiness, as soon as he asked, the other people who were also temporarily resting here also pricked up their ears and looked over.
"Don't worry!" the man assured, "There must be enough food, but it's not gray hair. Those who have just entered the city can receive food for a few days, but after that they have to work, which is not difficult. Those with skills will be allocated according to their skills, and those without skills will also have jobs."
"Like me, I also fled from the famine, and I came here half a month earlier than you. I am now assigned to my job here, and it has been like this for the past half a month. As long as there are people who escaped from the famine, I will take them in! There is work to do, food and clothing!"
He patted his chest to assure people that from the wrinkles on his face and the calluses on his hands, he was indeed an ordinary person, with traces of the suffering he had suffered before.
The guarantee given by such a person undoubtedly reassures the fleeing famine.
But people still have doubts, and continue to ask: "There are so many of us, how can we have enough food?"
The man replied without the slightest impatience: "If it's an ordinary big family that distributes food, it's definitely not enough."
Not to mention ordinary people, according to such a collection method, even the official warehouse may not be enough.Most of them are ordinary farmers. They may not know anything about mountains and rivers, but they are definitely the most sensitive to food.
But the man in gray and black continued proudly: "But the ones who give us food are not those rich families or officials, but gods! The gods of Xuan Puritanism!"
Immortals know magic, so of course they can have a lot, a lot of food!
After hearing this, the other escapees were really relieved, and said happily, "So they are living gods from the Xuanqing sect!" "That's great!" "You don't have to run away anymore!"
For these ordinary farmers, they don't know and don't need to know what kind of sect Xuanqingjiao is. They only need to know that Xuanqingjiao is a sect for practitioners. It is a very reasonable logic to do things that ordinary people can't do, and they can naturally produce a lot of food.
It would not be surprising for such a thing to happen in any other vassal state, but such a scene happened in Liang State.
Liang Guo is a country full of evil sects, and monks have a bad reputation among ordinary people.Just like when Li Chi had just entered the border of Liang State, Xu Tian's first reaction was suspicion when he showed the way to Xu Tian and Xu Li who encountered ghosts beating the wall.This is the experience accumulated by the people of Liang Guo in their many years of life.Rather than helping mortals, the practitioners of the Liang Kingdom are more likely to use their minds, flesh and blood, and even souls to cultivate.
But here, the people in gray and black uniforms only mentioned Xuan Qingjiao's name, and these deserters felt really at ease.
Xuanqingjiao has quietly established such a reputation among the ordinary people in Liang Guo.This is really a terrible thing.
Some people in the cavalry following behind had already frowned unconsciously, but Tao Xi's expression was as usual.A group of people walked outside the city gate in a blink of an eye.
Now the city is under strict control, and soldiers are lined up at the gate, and they are not allowed to enter directly.The city gate is divided into three areas, one is for the porridge team for deserters, the other is for those who are going to enter the city to issue number plates, and the last one is for those who have received number plates to rest while waiting to enter the city In the area, there is a temporary tea shed, in which a few people sat in twos and threes, and a lame old man with gray hair was selling tea.
The cavalry stopped outside the tea shed and got off their horses. The people in the tea shed had noticed this cavalry for a long time and looked at them one by one. The lame old man selling tea became the calmest one. After seeing someone coming again , holding a stack of rough porcelain bowls and preparing to pour tea from the pot.
The crippled old man was indeed just an ordinary man, with the marks of suffering etched on his thin, wrinkled face and sinewy hands.He is also a refugee who was taken in by Gannan City. The people who can sit in this tea shed, whether they are high-ranking practitioners or rich and powerful in the world, are too far behind him.When the gap is large enough, it makes no difference whether it is one or a hundred heavens.No matter what the plans of these people sitting in the tea shed were, he, an old man who almost died in the famine, could not influence them. If so, why should he care about them?
A breeze quietly fell beside him, manifesting a figure in dark blue robes.He appeared too naturally, which was obviously an amazing thing, but no one felt abnormal, as if he should have been there in the first place.
Without Tao Xi's instructions, there was already a two-pattern collar and he went to line up for the number plate.
After sitting in the tea shed, almost everyone looked at them.The sea pattern on their collars is too eye-catching.After the catastrophe began, although the Liang State was in chaos, the authority of the Discipline Department was still there, not to mention that there were seven sea patterns on Tao Xi's collar.
In Liang Guozhong, everyone knows that there is a place where the Discipline Department is haunted, and there must be something related to monks.Naturally, the Division of Disciplines will not always be dressed so conspicuously when they go out to do errands.The so-called open and unannounced visits means that there must be both open and unannounced visits.What Tao Xi and his party were responsible for was not to conduct unannounced visits to Xuanqingjiao. The catastrophe has been going on for so long, and the power of Xuanqingjiao has expanded rapidly. Now it is more conspicuous than lice on a bald head. It would be foolish to hide your identity and pretend that you didn't discover Xuan Puritanism.
However, even though he came here for Xuanqingjiao this time, Tao Xi still focused more on Li Quan.
Holding the pot, the old man shuffled over and poured bowls of tea one by one. After collecting the money for the tea, he was called by other guests to ask questions.
The guest was asking about the situation in Gannan City, but he actually meant Xuanqingjiao.The lame old man didn't know if he heard it, but he answered whatever the guest asked, and he didn't mean to hide it at all.The original prefect of Gannan City is still alive, and he is still in charge of Gannan City in name, but in fact...he is either threatened by Xuanqingjiao or cooperates with Xuanqingjiao. Today Gannan City has undoubtedly fallen Under the control of Xuan Qingjiao.
This made the people in the Disciplinary Department frown, but the old man said it was very gratifying.He called the people in Xuanqing religion the living gods who save the suffering, and his gratitude is beyond words.
Tao Xi chatted with Li Chi on the one hand, and made a slight gesture on the other.
A three-pattern collar spoke to the old man: "Old man, the prefect is still here, why do you only think of the Xuanqingjiao, but not the kindness of Liang Guo? Could it be that the prefect is not doing well?"
The old man was taken aback by this question, and then said: "I don't know if the prefect is doing well or not, I just know that I heard people say that there are gods from the Xuan Puritan sect here to release food here. After I came here, I was also a Xuan The Puritan gods saved me, my son and my grandchildren, and arranged for us to live and work so that we can survive."
There was a new guest in the tea shed, and the old man stopped talking after answering, and went to pour tea for the new guest with a limp.
Several people in the Disciplinary Department frowned. He might not think there was any problem with what the old man said, but they understood what it meant.Gannan City was built by Liang Tu, and the houses in the city were built by Liang, but now the name of Xuanqingjiao has overshadowed Liang. These people... only know Xuanqingjiao but not Liang.
The new guest was wearing a thin hooded cloak of black satin and silver, which was not very noticeable when he walked in. At this time, he took off the hood and untied the cloak, revealing the pattern of honeysuckle embroidered with gold and silver thread under the cloak He was wearing a purple brocade robe and a face that looked like translucent white jade. He raised his long and narrow eyes and slanted at several people in the discipline department. He sneered and said, "Why? Do you think Xuan Qingjiao stole Liang Guo's limelight, and you can't get used to it?"
The meaning of these words was too vicious, and several young people in the discipline department showed anger on their faces, but they did not answer the words without authorization.
Tao Xi turned his head to look at the new guest, his expression was very calm, he didn't seem to be irritated at all, and his tone was very peaceful: "Saving people is a meritorious deed, and the people are innocent. There is nothing to be disliked about doing meritorious deeds. But in this world, it’s not that people’s families are not slaughtered, and then pretending to be a savior to save another living person, it has become a benefactor’s business.”
"Really? Since the important figures in the Disciplinary Department said so, they must have something to rely on. Why don't you come and listen?" The man in Jinyi's eyes became colder, and his voice was like a cold spring.He had an extremely handsome face, and he was even more imposing against the backdrop of his fine attire. Although he didn't show the aura of a monk, it forced a few young people in the discipline department to turn pale.
Tao Xi was as stable as a mountain, and said: "The person who received the precepts is not a big shot, but he has some experience. No matter how ingenious the tricks of the world's ingenious people, they will not be able to get around a hurdle in the end. Let him write as densely as in the hidden fog, and in the end The result will reveal itself and its purpose. Just look at who is benefiting, and you will know who is doing it."
Although the catastrophe was difficult to endure, Liang Guo had accumulated a lot, so it would not have been so miserable.There are countless heretic sects that have stirred up trouble during the catastrophe, but none of them has benefited as much as Xuanqingjiao—before the catastrophe, few people had heard of the name of Xuanqingjiao, but now, it has fallen to The city in the hands of Xuan Qingjiao is more than Gannan City.
"The seven-pattern collar in the Disciplinary Department is really quick-witted and unparalleled." The man in brocade slapped his palms with a light smile, then suddenly closed his smile, without any expression on his face, and said softly, "I just want to ask you a question."
"There are quite a few cities that are still under Liang Guo's control. Have they saved those cities?"
Tao Xi didn't say anything, so he didn't have to answer.The face of the lame old man who sells tea has revealed the color of bitterness and hatred.
These people who fled famine did not start fleeing famine recently, nor did they find Gannan City all at once.Many of them have traveled through many different cities, even some of them fled outside Liangdu.But when he was ten miles away from Liangdu, he was expelled by Liang Jun.
The reason is very simple, it is Liangdu, how can it be allowed to be attacked by the victims?
Although there are official warehouses in some places, they are not even willing to open them to release grain. The reason is very simple. The official grain is limited and there are many hungry people. They will go from robbing official warehouses to robbing high-ranking households with food reserves, and then to robbing ordinary households that are passable.
This is not imaginary. There are not many disaster victims who gathered in groups and turned into thugs. Many small towns only guarded by fences were slaughtered by the victims.On the premise of survival, the bottom line of human morality cannot be lowered easily, and once some bottom lines are broken, they will never come back.The robbed victims may be just grabbing food at first, but the robbed people will resist, resistance will arouse hatred, the gap in life will arouse injustice, and injustice will arouse anger.
Since there are going to be fights anyway, and people are going to kill people anyway, then why do they just grab food?
Firewood, clothes, houses, women...
Most people in this world, after doing certain things, will not regret for too long, because if people want to live, they must let their conscience live. I lost my conscience.After losing conscience, the world will open up another look.
Not to mention those victims who turned into thugs, that is, these people who fled to Gannan City, how many of them didn't leave anything behind during their escape?
The old tea seller said that Xuan Qingjiao saved him, his son, and his little grandson.I don't know if he has a granddaughter, but since he has a son, he has a wife.Where is his daughter-in-law?Where is his daughter-in-law?How did they survive after fleeing famine for so long?
Those who survived the famine were always more men than women, and more young and old than young.
But these words cannot be spoken, and cannot be used as an excuse for not saving people in the face of these suffering victims.
Famine is a disease.A layer of skin was peeled off from the sick people, leaving only the naked body to be polished by the wind and sand.But you can sympathize with his pain, but you can't show him the skin that was peeled off.When not watching, this person can still live like a human being through suffering and pain, but if you show him, he may not be able to be a human being anymore.
The new man in brocade clothes took the tea bowl, his porcelain-white fingers seemed to be filled with cold air, and the tea bowl was so cold that there was no heat in the blink of an eye.He sat down at the table across from the Disciplinary Department, ignored the silent Tao Xi, and looked at the dark green robed qin-bearer next to him, his long and narrow eyes were half-raised, revealing the lower half of a distinct black eyeball, revealing A little sharp light came out: "What do you think?"
