Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 613: Colorful Dance on Three Stages

(6)

Perhaps it was an illusion, the bright late autumn sun shining on the streets, and the atmosphere of desolation was actually less than yesterday.

A few tender sprouts sprouted around the dusty dry well. The hunched people passing by were surprised to notice a damp smell that was somewhat similar to that of spring. Like a long drought finally ending in a downpour, they began to worship the gods they believed in like crazy.

  At this time, a well-dressed young man straightened his clothes and walked to the intersection of the road. He was seen standing solemnly on a wooden platform prepared in advance, and suddenly began an indignant speech!

"Everyone! Today, the world is in chaos, and people are in dire straits. This is truly a critical time! I am deeply saddened by this scene. In the past, Yecheng was so prosperous? The streets were bustling with merchants, and people did not pick up things on the road and did not lock their doors at night. But now? There are only devastation and wailing everywhere!" The young master was deeply moved and could not help but sigh: "May I ask, whose fault is this?"

A dashing girl asked from under the wooden platform: "Who is it?"

"Taiping Dao!" As soon as the young master said this, many people came to watch. At this time, a gust of wind blew by, and his clothes fluttered. He looked very elegant and continued to speak to the crowd: "Taiping Dao has been a disaster to the world for a long time. Wherever it passes, everyone's family is broken up, lives are destroyed, and prosperity is gone! Not only Yecheng, in a few years, the whole world will be in the hands of Taiping Dao!"

Some believers stood up to speak for the Taiping Dao: "As you said, the Taiping Dao is really a disaster for the world. Why do we feel that we have been saved? The Heavenly Master provides us with food, clothing, shelter, and teaches us the way to become immortals. Can you do that?"

The young master said: "The Taiping Dao has a history of hundreds of years, and I have never seen anyone become immortal by eating humans!"

"You...what did you say?!" The believer panicked. He avoided the other person's gaze as if he was guilty: "What do you know, you crazy person? You have never understood the Taiping Dao at all."

The young master said, "I, of course, know much more than you imposters! Taiping Dao began in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It was a sect founded by Zhang Jiao, the Heavenly Master, based on the Taiping Jing! Respecting Huang Tian as the Supreme Being, worshipping Huangdi and Laozi, how can we pray to gods and Buddhas like you do?"

The believers fell completely silent and quietly retreated from the crowd.

The young master continued to raise his arms and shout: "Sima Tu tampered with the doctrine and used the sect to satisfy his own desires. He deserves death! Everyone present, you have sold your wives, daughters and land with all your heart, but in the end you are just the 'human sacrifices' that the Taiping Dao consumes every day!"

The girl who had just spoken to me stepped forward again and bowed respectfully, "Sir, you have given me a long speech. I wonder if you can find a way to relieve the distress in Ye City?"

The young master replied: "The Taiping Daoists are rebelling against the Way of Heaven and will be punished by Heaven! If you don't believe me, look over there!"

Black smoke billowed from the three towers in Yecheng.

"what happened?"

"Is it... a punishment from heaven?"

"Hurry up and put out the fire! Hurry up and put out the fire!!!"

The young man continued to roar: "God's punishment! This is God's punishment! God's punishment..."

"Alright, alright, why are you still yelling now that everyone has left?" The dashing girl ran over and pulled the young master off the platform, asking, "Hey, Yuwen Xuan! Did all the nonsense you just said really work?"

Yu Wenxuan straightened his clothes and said with a smile, "Whether it works or not, let's wait and see! A Ke, let me ask you, did I look pretty good just now?"

Yu Ke replied: "I know you are amazing. I will go to the front to see what is going on..."

After saying this, Yu Ke walked away.

Yu Wenxuan stopped on the street and looked at the surging crowd, all heading to the Santai in Yecheng. He couldn't help but sneer on his face. After he got tired of seeing it, he wanted to go back to the inn to rest, but unexpectedly, a familiar person appeared behind him.

"Master Yuwen." Murong Yan saluted in casual clothes. Although she rarely wore heavy makeup, her refined temperament always attracted Yuwen Xuan's attention. "Is it Miss Murong?" Yuwen Xuan replied, "I wonder why you have come here so presumptuously?"

Murong Yan took out a handkerchief and wiped Yu Wenxuan's cheek, then asked, "Master Yu Wen just displayed his eloquence and talked for a long time, I'm sure you must be tired, right?"

Faced with Murong Yan's abrupt action, Yu Wenxuan took a step back and asked in confusion: "Miss Murong, what do you mean?"

"Why, after not seeing you for a few years, have you grown to hate me?" Murong Yan narrowed her eyes and smiled ambiguously: "I thought you had some sincerity in proposing to me, but I didn't expect that now the newcomer is better than the old one..."

Her long eyes looked into the distance, looking at the direction where Yu Ke had just left.

Yu Wenxuan, who was always good at debate, became inarticulate and replied: "You... Madam Bai, I was young and frivolous and said some childish words. Please don't take it to heart. I don't have any bad intentions towards Miss A Ke. I just want to fulfill my ideals by traveling with everyone."

Yu Wenxuan became more alert and took a few steps forward, thinking: Is this woman in front of me who looks like "Murong Yan" really Murong Yan?

"I didn't expect you to be so serious. Is it because you don't want to show your true feelings in broad daylight?" Murong Yan took out a letter and handed it to Yu Wenxuan, saying, "Wait until no one is around to open it. There's no rush, hehe."

After that, she stood aside and started braiding her hair, looking like she was having a lot of fun.

Yu Wenxuan hid the letter in his arms and hurried back to the inn to open it.

——See you tonight at one past three o'clock in the morning in the courtyard of the store.

"What!" He couldn't believe it: "Is this a secret meeting?"

Yu Wenxuan was in a dilemma: "Should I go and find out what's going on, or should I just tell Brother Bai?"

His thoughts seemed to have come to midnight tonight. He made many guesses in his mind, but there was no conclusion. In the blink of an eye, time passed and it was almost evening.

"How could such a thing happen to me..." Yu Wenxuan wandered alone in the bedroom, scratching his head and ears, feeling itchy and unbearable, until bursts of screams came from outside the inn, and he was able to come out of this state and return to normal.

A woman in blood-red clothes was walking alone on the street.

"She walked out of the Bronze Sparrow Tower alive?"

"How could such a thing happen!?"

"Hey, could it be that 'she' is that Bai Feng..."

The girl in colorful clothes looked back at them and replied casually: "Those who escaped have already told everyone, right? I am Bai Feng." After that, Bai Feng continued to move forward.

After a while, Su Qing appeared beside him and informed him of the latest situation. Afterwards, Yu Ke and Murong Yan also hurried to greet them, and they returned to the inn together to rest for a while.

Yu Wenxuan, who had been hiding in the dark and seeing everything, became timid and dared not say a word. He lay on the bed pretending to be asleep and missed the victory dinner.

The night is long and I am left alone to suffer.
