in the edge

Chapter 118

If it's just pretending to be a ghost, the people of Yanzhou will not believe it.

Everyone is not a fool, nor is it true that they have no knowledge at all. Under Ruan Shantao's years of education, many people can read and write, and have opened their eyes. If it is just a little tricks, they will not be able to deceive them—— However, this is where the problem lies. No one would have thought that the young monk would actually come to the truth.

"Is this kind of thing... really something that humans can master?"

For a time, the refugees in the team had a lot of thoughts.

"Can I learn?"

"If everyone has a heart of reverence for the gods and a desire for the Tao, then you can stay and practice these Taoist thaumaturgy."

The smile on the young monk's face is gentle and sunny. When paired with the plain robe, just standing there makes him feel convincing.

What's more, the shadow of a golden-armored god stood beside this young monk.

"I want to learn!"

The refugees rushed to the young monk one after another, scrambling to be the first.

Even if the young monk has made it clear that he needs to contribute some rice rations for cultivation, people don't care about it - even for them as refugees, if they really take out that little ration, it may mean that they There was no way to move forward, but at this moment, facing the possibility of learning the magic of gods, and facing that golden-armored god, how could they endure it?How could you possibly endure it?
Perhaps only a few people like old man Yang Xuanyang, who are old and mature, can maintain their rationality under this level of temptation.

"If there is a problem, they must have a problem."

Yang Xuan on the cart frowned.

"If they really have some magical magic, they can just conjure food. Why do they need to harvest food? This group of people... wait, what are you going to do? You don't plan to follow suit, right? "

"I……"

Carpenter Li, who was stopped, scratched his head in embarrassment. He wanted to learn a little bit, but after hearing what old man Yang said, he hesitated a little.

This made him turn his attention to other people.

"I haven't moved anywhere."

After casually responding, Cui Yuan continued to lower his head to understand the art of swordsmanship.

He didn't bother to learn any other techniques besides the sword.

"I'm here to reconcile the account book with the grain truck."

Seeing that his eyes were on him, Liu Bolun immediately raised the account book in his hand, and the two gatekeepers beside him who were originally guarding the gate of Ziyang Mountain also shook their heads.

One Tai student and two Ruan Shantao's disciples, although they were also very curious about the appearance of the golden-armored god, but with their vision and status, they disdain to learn such supernatural things.

As a result, everyone's eyes were on Du Chengfeng.

"I... try, I will try."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Du Chengfeng, who stretched out his hand to the grain bag, couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"Aren't you curious?"

"That's a lie! It's all fake!"

Pointing at the golden-armored god-man in the distance, old man Yang was frothing for a moment.

"That's fake! They want to lie to you! Although I don't know how they did it, but judging from the matter itself..."

"I know."

"……what?"

Hearing Du Chengfeng's answer, Old Man Yang choked on the cart.

what is this?You know it's a pit, but you still want to step on it?
"Just because I know it, I want to try it even more."

Du Chengfeng scratched his head. He didn't know how to tell this kind of thing to an ordinary man like old man Yang.

This is indeed a cover-up for ordinary people, but for people like him who have already released evil spirits, they can clearly feel that the illusory golden armored god is clearly a special kind of evil energy. Application method.

And unlike Old Man Ruan's inexplicable but ridiculously strong poetry and book righteousness, this time Du Chengfeng could confirm that it was indeed the evil spirit of swords and weapons.Just like him wielding a big sword to create a fiery blade, or using an ancient ax to create a cold wind, these are all manifestations of the evil spirit being released.

It's just that this frightening swordsman's evil spirit, after being wrapped in a layer of golden illusory armor, doesn't look so scary, but looks mighty and extraordinary.

"Probably so."

Du Chengfeng spread his hands, not knowing how much the crowd could understand.

"It is a way of applying evil spirits, so I am going to learn about it... Wait, Lao Liu, what are you going to do? Are you going to follow me?"

"You said just now that this is evil spirit?"

Liu Bolun's expression was very subtle.

"Then this matter is very wrong... The kid said that he wants to teach immortality, meaning he wants to tell ordinary people something related to evil spirits? How dare he?"

"...Wait a while?"

Hearing Liu Bolun's words, Du Chengfeng suddenly felt that something was wrong.

What does it mean to tell ordinary people things related to evil spirits?Does it mean that ordinary people don't know this crop at all?
How can it be?Obviously on Jibei's side...

"Jibei has nothing to do with it. Everyone goes out with a knife, even if they want to, they can't prevent it."

Hearing Du Chengfeng's doubts, Liu Bolun couldn't help shaking his head.

"...No, brother, haven't you ever thought about it? If the general public knows that as long as you kill people, you can be infected with evil spirits and become powerful, what do you think will be the consequences?"

"This……"

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

If the general public knows that killing people can be infected with evil spirits, they can become stronger... This can actually be seen from the time of Yanzhou City.Even with Ruan Shantao's power over their heads, those Yanzhou people who were given knives by the knife sellers would still choose to kill passers-by on the street at night after they tasted the benefits of killing.

After all, there is heavy reality on one side and shortcuts visible to the naked eye on the other. Who can resist this temptation?
It doesn't matter even if this kind of temptation makes people mad, after all, madness is a matter of the future, but the harvest brought by the shortcut is in front of us.

"So there must be laws, there must be order, and people must know that killing people will pay a serious price."

Seeing that Du Chengfeng had understood, Liu Bolun nodded too.

"As for those who have already killed people and are infected with evil spirits, we will kill them as an example to others. One is to respond to the sentence of killing people and pay for life to convince everyone, and the other is to prevent them from continuing to commit crimes until it becomes a crime. Unbearable things."

"Um……"

This time, Du Chengfeng understood.

If you can't stick to your heart and still have evil energy entering your body, you will become a murderous maniac. Even if you get to the point where the evil energy is released, once your consciousness is scattered, you will be urged to become a monster by the evil energy on the spot—both of which mean that Major public security incidents, especially the latter, monsters that can strengthen themselves by killing people, are simply a moving natural disaster.

"This is why the status of the predators responsible for public security in Dachen is even comparable to that of soldiers... Of course, it is different in Shanbei Road. Everyone there carries weapons, and it is a problem for the predators to enforce the law. They We can’t catch everyone.”

Having said this, Liu Bolun's voice paused.

"But it's been different since Shannan Road. The predators here are more fierce than the soldiers. You should pay attention, brother, and don't open your mouth and shut up and say that you are a traitor."

"What do you mean I am a traitor? How can you smear my innocence out of thin air?"

Du Chengfeng immediately argued with reason.

"You have also seen that Qi Jinshan and Qi Dudu obviously died in a fierce battle. What does this have to do with me?"

"you……"

Liu Bolun was immediately stunned by Du Chengfeng's shamelessness.

But this is indeed the case. At that time, there were only three of them in the Yanzhou underground arsenal. Now that Qi Jinshan is dead, and he is an escaped official with a gold seal, it is impossible to show up directly. This directly leads to the current situation. As long as Du Chengfeng didn't say it himself, no one would know that he was a rebel.

"Anyway, pay attention, you can't hide this matter for too long. When the imperial court's army reaches the front line, they will find out that you did it sooner or later."

"That can't be done. I've already cremated Dudu Qi's body, but it's a pity that the ashes are still in the city and haven't been brought out... Hey, it's too cruel to be all prairie people!"

Du Chengfeng shook his head repeatedly, making the grassland army generals on the side have their eyes twitching.

As a surrendered prisoner, he saw with his own eyes what the so-called cremation was like. If burning the body to ashes with a knife can be considered cremation... How did this happen to the prairie people?

It's amazing, it's really amazing, just this shameless energy is exactly the same as the leaders of those tribes!
Such a man was born to be a leader!These surrendered soldiers are following the right people!

"Forget it, let's get down to business."

Seeing that the topic became more and more biased, Liu Bolun couldn't help but shook his head.

"Anyway, there must be something wrong with this mountain temple. Trying to expose ordinary people to evil spirits. What do they want to do? They are going against the government and the court. I think we should go to the county government immediately... Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything. .”

It was only after the words were spoken that Liu Bolun remembered that if he really wanted to report, he might not be the first to go in first.

What's more, if this mountain temple is engaged in such a big battle, is the Yiyang County Government really blind?
As an outsider, it is important to learn to do as the locals do. If this tacit understanding is to be broken, it will not look good on everyone's faces.

"Hey, this Da Chen..."

With a sigh, Liu Bolun continued to go back to the cart to drink.

It's better to be drunk. After drunk, people are more confused, so they don't have to think so much.

"So I'm going to study here, grab a few meals and save our food reserves."

Saying this, Du Chengfeng distributed some food.

"Is there another piece to go?"

"I!"

Seeing that Du Chengfeng was leaving, Carpenter Li simply raised his hand.

"Brother Du, count me in."

"I'll go down there too."

Cui Yuan, who had always been autistic, raised his head.

"Since Mr. Du feels that the method of this mountain temple has merit, I should also learn about it."

"Me, I'll go too..."

Liu Bolun, who had already downed half a jar of wine, also raised his foot.

"You're all gone, so what am I going to do here? I don't care, I'm not doing this job, I'm going too."

"I am coming too!"

The prairie army general Ji'er Huo also stood up.

"I……"

"What are you going to do?"

Du Chengfeng immediately stared.

Everyone just went over to take a look out of curiosity. Why would a prairie man join in the fun?
"The little one has always had Mu Wanghua... Don't do it! I'm telling the truth!"

Seeing that Du Chengfeng was about to take something out of his saddle bag, he couldn't help shrinking his neck.

The truth is more hurtful, that is, these prairie people are not suitable to stay in the team alone. It is okay when Du Chengfeng is there, and they still have a status as surrendered soldiers, but if Du Chengfeng is not there... No matter whether the refugees take action against the surrendered soldiers or the surrendered soldiers take action to resist, there is no way to say goodbye to this kind of thing.

After all, everyone left their homes and became refugees in order to escape from the vanguard of the prairie people. Who can really have a good impression of the prairie people?

"Then...you can go up the mountain with me."

With a long sigh, Du Chengfeng still waved to the two gatekeepers guarding the grain truck, indicating that they should divide the repairs that the more than 300 grassland soldiers had to pay and put them on his account.

And those prairie soldiers headed by Ji'erhuo also lowered their heads one after another.

This may be why they are willing to follow this Burning Blade Warrior. A powerful leader may make them bow their heads, and a cunning leader may be recognized by them, but this kind of leader who is willing to take care of their feelings...

It was their first time seeing each other.

"Then go."

Seeing that everyone actually wanted to go and have a look, old man Yang Xuanyang also broke his cans.

"Anyway, the old man was moved by seeing many villagers. If you want to go, go all together. But don't blame the old man for not reminding you, the people in this mountain temple really don't look like good people."

"That doesn't matter, we are not good people either."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help laughing.

After letting the grassland soldiers take off their armor, Du Chengfeng led a group of people to find the young monk carrying the magic sword.

Seeing a group of fierce-looking men with swords on their waists walking towards them, the young men in the mountain temple suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy - it was the young monk who maintained order, so they did not run away in fear. .

"Why are you running? These are all righteous men who are escorting the people. If it weren't for them, would these people have been able to reach our Yiyang County safely?"

First, after reprimanding those young and strong, the young monks turned around and bowed their hands at Du Chengfeng and his party.

"People from the countryside don't have much knowledge, but they make you laugh...Why, do you also want to go into the mountains and learn the magical arts?"

"Indeed, I have troubled the elder fairy."

Saying this, Du Chengfeng waved his hand, and the folks from Yangjiabao pulled the grain truck over. This was their tuition.

After handing over Shu Xiu, the young monk also called for his men to lead the refugee team to the mountain, and Du Chengfeng and his party, under the guidance of the guide, passed the young monk.

At this time, Du Chengfeng stretched out his hand and rubbed against the golden armored god beside the young monk.

"Ok?"

Just rubbing against each other, Du Chengfeng's eyes suddenly widened.

The touch that fell into his hands just now was not illusory.

The touch of the armor on the golden-armored god-man was actually the same as real steel.
