Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Beichen could only return to the Taoist temple first and then think of other ways and make other plans.

But when Lin Beichen returned to the Taoist temple, he found out that after Sima Li recovered, he not only did not learn his lesson, but became even worse and acted recklessly.

He doesn't take the common people seriously at all. In recent times, he has been acting arrogantly and domineeringly in the city.

Something else happened that made Lin Beichen extremely angry.

Lin Beichen was practicing in the Taoist temple, but the city lord and his men were acting recklessly outside.

The price of food in the city has skyrocketed recently, and it was all done intentionally by the city lord and his men.

Moreover, the price of food is ridiculously high and ordinary people are simply unable to afford it, which adds a lot of troubles to their lives.

For a time, the residents of the city complained bitterly but dared not speak out.

They would rather starve than go to Simali to argue. If Simali knew that they had any dissatisfaction or resistance, he would definitely use more cruel means to deal with them. The common people were very afraid of Simali.

Lin Beichen was also very angry when he learned about this.

He even regretted saving Simali. If he had known this would happen, he should have kept him in a coma.

So as to avoid letting the people in the city suffer, but what has happened has already happened and regret is of no use.

Lin Beichen was worrying about this matter when suddenly, there was a commotion outside the Taoist temple.

Lin Beichen felt strange and wondered who was making such a fuss in the Taoist temple, so he ignored it.

But I could faintly hear the voices of the old village chief and villagers outside.

Lin Beichen listened carefully, and heard the villagers begging desperately: "Old Taoist priest, please let us see Lin Beichen and let him do justice for us."

"If he doesn't show up this time, we will kneel down forever. We will die anyway, so it doesn't matter to us."

"This Sima Li is too arrogant and unreasonable. The price of food is too high. If Lin Beichen doesn't help us stop it."

"Then we will have no way to survive. We will starve to death sooner or later. You have seen the situation in the city. There are disaster victims everywhere. We beg you for mercy."

Lin Beichen closed his eyes and did not rush out to meet those people. He continued to meditate and practice there.

After listening to the villagers' request, the old Taoist priest showed a hint of hesitation on his face.

After a moment of silence, the old Taoist priest said to the villagers: "Everyone, please be patient. I know the current situation in the city. You are having a hard time."

"But it's useless for you to come here and beg him. He is alone and weak, while the city lord is powerful. What can he do?"

"I hope everyone can be patient. I believe this matter will soon be over. Let's not make a big deal out of it. Try to make a big thing small and a small thing nothing. Don't intensify the conflict. You should just go back."

The old Taoist priest's behavior was a bit strange. Not only did he not stand up for these ordinary people, he even hoped that the old village chief and the residents would keep things peaceful. Without saying anything more, he turned around and passed the message to Lin Beichen.

When the villagers saw the old Taoist priest's behavior, they were a little disappointed for a moment.

They looked nervous and kept talking.

"What's going on? Why did the old Taoist priest just leave without saying anything?"

"Is it that Lin Beichen is unwilling to help us and really wants to let everyone fend for themselves?"

"Are we really doomed to die? Are we going to starve to death?"

"Should I live in this dire situation, being oppressed by them, and not even have a word of complaint?"

"It seems like we have made a wasted trip this time. They are all the same. Who would care about poor people like us?"

The villagers were all extremely disappointed. They had hoped that Lin Beichen could come forward on their behalf and find a way to resolve the problem.

But now it seems that is not the case at all.

The villagers were very angry. They had endured too much and had no place to vent their dissatisfaction.

Originally, Lin Beichen was like their life-saving straw, but at this critical moment, they couldn't even see Lin Beichen, which made them very worried.

Lin Beichen had just finished meditating when he heard a commotion outside.

This made him a little puzzled. Why did the old village chief bring the villagers here and shout loudly at the gate of the Taoist temple?

I'm curious about what the conflict was.

Lin Beichen slowly stood up, opened the door and walked out.

But he saw the old village chief and the villagers still kneeling at their doorsteps.

Lin Beichen looked at the old village chief with a puzzled look and asked, "Old village chief, what do you mean?"

"Why are you kneeling here with everyone? If you have something to say, you can't just stand up and say it. This is so disgraceful."

"Hurry up and get up. Don't do this. I really can't bear it."

Lin Beichen then successfully met the old village chief and the villagers. He wanted to inquire about the situation in detail.

The old village chief looked at Lin Beichen with a sad face and said, "You don't know that after Sima Li was saved by you, he didn't repent."

"Now they are even more violent, not only are they rampant in the city, but they are also harming the lives of ordinary people."

"In order to get back at everyone, he actually raised the price of food very high, making it impossible for many ordinary people to buy food."

"You don't know, the city is now full of disaster victims. No one can continue to live. Many people can't stand the hunger and have lost their lives."

"We came here today because we really had no other choice. If you didn't stand up for us, we would have no hope. Maybe we would all die."

When Lin Beichen heard what the old village chief said, he became furious.

Lin Beichen didn't expect Simali to be such a person. He felt a little regretful.

If he had known that it would bring so much suffering to the people, he would never have agreed to the city lord's request to rescue Simali.

Lin Beichen felt a little guilty, and hurriedly looked at the villagers kneeling in front of him and said, "Everyone, please get up quickly. Since you came here to find me, it means you trust me."

"I will definitely take full responsibility for this matter and try my best to resolve it so that everyone's life can calm down as soon as possible."

"I won't let Sima Li do anything wrong again. Don't worry, I won't lie to you."

After hearing this, Lin Beichen agreed to the villagers' request without hesitation.

The villagers decided to take charge of the matter and heard that Lin Beichen agreed to their request.

He was so grateful that he burst into tears and kowtowed to Lin Beichen repeatedly to express his gratitude.

The old village chief grabbed Lin Beichen's arm and said, "Thank you so much, I knew it was right to come to you."

"You won't ignore all of us. I'm here to thank you on behalf of all the villagers."

"They are so abominable. They are capable of doing anything bad. We ordinary people are weak and powerless. We are no match for them at all. We can only watch helplessly as they bully us."

Lin Beichen felt very uncomfortable when he looked at these ordinary people.

Lin Beichen was deeply moved when he saw the villagers' eyes full of longing.

He would never tolerate bullies oppressing the people and causing them to die from lack of food.

Lin Beichen talked with the old village chief for a long time, mostly about some details, and the old village chief was also very open about it.

He told Lin Beichen everything that happened in the city, including how many people died. The more Lin Beichen listened, the angrier he became. He couldn't listen any longer and felt that he had to stand up to seek justice for the villagers and redress the grievances of the people.

Lin Beichen couldn't help but sigh, looked at everyone and said, "Everyone go back, I have figured things out."

"Since I promised everyone, I will definitely take care of it. Let me go back to the room to pack up, and I will go down the mountain soon."

The old village chief and the villagers looked at Lin Beichen with gratitude, as if they saw hope, and smiles appeared on their faces.

Lin Beichen quickly returned to the room, packed his clothes and prepared to go down the mountain.

He must resolve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise more people will die.

Especially for the elderly and children, if they don’t have anything to eat, their bodies won’t be able to bear it. They will starve at best, and lose their lives at worst.

Lin Beichen had just packed his clothes and was ready to go out.

The old Taoist priest suddenly stopped in front of Lin Beichen and said seriously: "Lin Beichen, listen to my advice and don't go down the mountain."

"This is simply like hitting a rock with an egg. You can't do anything by yourself."

"Don't be impulsive. You are representing the Taoist temple. Before you do anything, please consider the temple. Okay?"

"Have you ever thought that if this fails, will the city lord let our Taoist temple go? Maybe the Taoist temple will suffer because of this."

"Why are you so impulsive? You can think about the people, but why can't you think about the Taoist temple? You should think carefully about this."

Lin Beichen looked at the old Taoist priest who was blocking his way, his heart full of doubts.

I felt that these words were not something the old Taoist priest would say. This matter was of great importance.

The people were suffering terribly, and some even lost their lives. In the face of such a major event, he was indifferent and even said such selfish words.

Lin Beichen looked at the old Taoist priest in disbelief and asked, "Old Taoist priest, what's wrong with you? Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I want to know why you studied Taoism. I don't understand why you became like this."

"You are always timid and hesitant. Now that it's a critical moment, you still try to stop me and persuade me. Do you really think I will listen to you?"

"I'm going to make it clear today. I'm determined to do this. No matter if it's like an egg hitting a rock, or if there will be harm to others, I can't care about that anymore."

"Look at the eager eyes of the people. How can you bear to reject them? This is their only hope. Are you going to let them die one by one? That's ridiculous."

The old Taoist priest listened to Lin Beichen's words, but his expression did not change at all.

I feel that I am not wrong. As a Taoist priest, I have to consider the safety of the Taoist temple first.

If the city lord and others find out what Lin Beichen is doing now, they will definitely not give up.

By then the entire Taoist temple will be in chaos and there will be no peace at all.

The old Taoist priest remained unchanged and still insisted on standing in front of Lin Beichen.

"No... No matter what you say today, I will not let you go down the mountain. No matter how you misunderstand me, I will stick to my decision." The old Taoist priest looked determined.

This made Lin Beichen even more unable to understand the old Taoist priest's behavior. He even looked at the old Taoist priest angrily and said, "Since you said so, I will make it clear."

"Get out of my way right now. If you must stop me, I have a way to solve this problem."

The old Taoist priest looked at Lin Beichen in confusion and asked, "What method?"

Lin Beichen looked at the old Taoist priest seriously and said, "It's very simple. I will immediately choose to withdraw from the Taoist temple. This way, no matter what I do, it will not affect the Taoist temple or you."

"It has nothing to do with you. I think you should be relieved."

When the old Taoist priest saw that Lin Beichen was serious, he knew that he was not lying.

If he continued to insist, Lin Beichen might really choose to quit the Taoist temple.

The old Taoist priest said nothing, but just looked at Lin Beichen unwillingly.

He moved his body to the side and could only let Lin Beichen go down the mountain and do what he wanted to do, not daring to say another word.

Seeing this, Lin Beichen did not make things difficult for the old Taoist priest anymore, but left in a hurry.

Lin Beichen went down the mountain and walked around the city for a long time. What he saw made him feel a pang of pain in his heart.

The people were so hungry that they looked pale and emaciated, groaned constantly, and even began to beg on the streets.

The scene was horrific, and Lin Beichen was truly worried about the lives of the people.

The situation of the elderly and children is even more worrying. The children keep crying and the elderly look helpless.

Lin Beichen looked back at the scene, feeling heartbroken beyond words.

He walked quickly towards the City Lord's Mansion, but when he arrived there, he found that James and other outsiders were actually living there and enjoying extremely high treatment.

Lin Beichen was immediately furious. He didn't understand why the city lord acted like this.

Why are James and his friends treated so well and received with the highest standards?

Lin Beichen wanted to find the city lord to ask for clarification, but he was unexpectedly rejected and driven away.

"Go away... The city lord doesn't want to see you, don't show up here again."

"If you upset the city lord again, don't blame us for being rude."

"You'd better be more sensible and don't get involved in things that are not your business."

Lin Beichen was so angry after hearing these words.

He glared at the guard angrily and cursed: "You are such a bully, you think you are so great."

"You still want to drive me away, how ridiculous." He said sarcastically.

"Go away, don't make yourself miserable, get out of here..."

"You..." Lin Beichen was so angry that he couldn't speak.

A guard shouted, "Not everyone can come to the City Lord's Mansion if they want to. You were driven away before. I didn't expect you to be so spineless and come back again. I really admire your courage."

After hearing what the guard said, Lin Beichen could no longer suppress his anger. He looked at the guard angrily and asked, "What does this have to do with you? Don't be a bully and talk nonsense here."

"I won't give up. Remember, I will come again. We'll see."

Lin Beichen was filled with resentment and had no place to vent. He wanted to find the city lord to argue, but he couldn't even meet him.

Now I am being humiliated by the guards. This is really unbearable.

He stared at the guards with eyes wide open, wanting to teach them a lesson so that they would curb their arrogance and stop aiding and abetting the evil.

But then he changed his mind and realized that he came down the mountain for the people in the city, to seek justice for them and solve their plight, not to quarrel with them.

Lin Beichen could only swallow his anger temporarily. He couldn't bear to see the people in the city go hungry every day, living a miserable life, not even having a full meal a day, begging on the street and being beaten and frozen.

But the people in the City Lord's Mansion and those outside the region eat delicacies from land and sea for every meal.

Thinking of this, Lin Beichen was furious. He turned around and looked at the guards with an angry face, thinking to himself: "Why do you have such a good life while letting the people starve and freeze?"

"That's too much. Since I promised the people, I will be responsible to the end." (End of this chapter)
