Chapter 265: The Sorrow of a Large Purification Land
At the edge of the clear land, there were twelve people, dressed in tight clothes, with steel knives hanging from their waists, holding bows and arrows, looking quietly ahead.

It was not until more than a dozen old men had cut themselves off from the pure land that they gradually put away their bows and arrows, then each took out a white towel from their bosom and tied it around their waist.

Then they were seen coming forward, as if to collect the bodies of those old men.

Watching this scene from afar, Lin Yan frowned, looking towards Mr. Lu with confusion in his eyes.

"You know that in this world, the Pure Land hates the death of living beings the most. A life may awaken the talisman."

Lord Lu said calmly, "Large cleansing grounds are relatively special. Even if dozens or hundreds of people die, it may not necessarily awaken the talisman. However... after a long period of accumulation, the talisman will eventually react."

"In a large clean land, there are quite a few people, passed down from generation to generation, and there are quite a few elderly people."

"People who have died of old age are basically exhausted, with little vitality left in their bodies, and their souls disappear into the void. Their impact on large pure lands is extremely weak."

"But I am afraid that the elderly and sick will die of illness. If they die suddenly, they will be unwilling and have strong wishes."

"There are also some elderly people who have been suffering from illness for many years and can't bear it anymore, so they choose to commit suicide."

"During these years, everyone in the Pure Land who is around fifty years old has to take on the duty of patrolling the outer perimeter of the Pure Land."

"The sick and frail elderly people who are nearly 60 years old should leave the Pure Land in advance to avoid dying of illness in the Pure Land."

"In the Pure Land, we will provide them with help so that they can go to various places and find other ways out."

"But some elderly people are too old to travel, or they feel they don't have any skills and can't make a living in the major cities."

"So they chose to cut themselves off from the Pure Land."

"This way, their remains can be recovered in clean land, cremated, and enshrined in their homes."

Lord Lu looked at Lin Yan and sighed, "This is the law formulated by the upper echelons of the Holy Land. It can reduce the impact of large-scale cleansing lands and make them last longer."

Lin Lei frowned slightly and whispered: "I thought that a large clean land is basically equivalent to the ancient blessed land recorded in the book."

"In the ancient blessed land, it is basically the same as being in a city. There are no taboos about birth, aging, illness and death."

Mr. Lu looked ahead and sighed, "But this is a large clean land. Even slaughtering pigs and sheep has to be pulled outside the clean land. They can only be dragged back after killing them. Their way of survival is more difficult than you expected."

After a pause, Mr. Lu said, "However, compared to the human race who are exiled to small and medium-sized pure lands, they are adrift and helpless, with no hope of survival, and it is difficult for their descendants to survive... At least, the human race in the large pure lands already has a place to settle down, and houses can be passed down to their descendants!"

As they were talking, a dozen or so people with swords and bows and white scarves tied around their waists also noticed the carriage here.

Immediately, everyone showed a look of alert.

The leader drew his sword.

His face was cold as he walked towards this side with two companions who also had their swords drawn.

The rest of the people drew their bows and arrows and pointed them towards this side.

"Excuse me, sir, where are you coming from?"

The leader came to a distance of more than 20 steps, his face was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "This is the area of ​​my longevity pure land, please make a detour!"

"It's getting dark, can't we enter the Pure Land?"

Lin Yan raised his eyebrows and spoke slowly.

"From here, five miles to the left, there is a small clean land, and twelve miles to the right, there is a small to medium clean land."

The man was about 40 years old, with dark skin. He said slowly, "It's just a clean place with no one guarding it. It's an ownerless place. Anyone can take refuge there!"

Hearing this, Lu Tang frowned and said, "Those who enter the Pure Land first must not stop those who seek refuge in the Pure Land later. This is a strict order from Qifeng Mansion!"

The man said calmly, "The Yanshou Pure Land is one of the seven large pure lands in Qifeng Prefecture. It has the same status as a city and is not subject to the regulations of ordinary pure lands! Only those who hold a token can enter!"

In the eyes of the holy land’s top leaders, large pure lands can basically be regarded as another kind of blessed land.

Such a clean land is similar in status to "Gao Liu Castle".

But compared to cities in various places, large clean areas are easily affected and eventually destroyed.

In order to protect large clearings, pedestrians are usually not accommodated.

This matter has been approved by the Holy Land and recognized by Qifeng Prefecture.

"I am Lu Yue, an old acquaintance of the Grand Administrator. I passed by the Yanshou Pure Land and came here to meet my old friend."

Mr. Lu lifted the car curtain, looked at the other party, and spoke slowly.

But the other party frowned, seemed a little doubtful, and said thoughtfully: "Da Shouzheng has been in seclusion for many days, sir, you didn't inform me in advance... Now it's getting dark, it's too late to inform me, please come back tomorrow!"

Lu Tang suddenly chuckled and couldn't help laughing.

Ever since I met Mr. Lu, his name has become quite famous both in Qifeng City and Gaoliu City, and all forces will always give him face to a greater or lesser extent.

I didn't expect that Mr. Lu, who had become a god overnight and was no longer an ordinary man, would be turned away here.

Mr. Lu had a calm expression. He glanced at Lu Tang and then looked at Lin Yan.

Seeing this, Lin Yan reached into his arms, took out a token and threw it over.

The man took it and asked in surprise, "The token of the chief flag bearer of the Heavenly Monitoring Department?"

Although Lin Yan still had the same unpredictable look at this moment, and was a few years older than his original appearance, he still looked like a young man in his twenties.

He is so young, yet he is the chief flag-bearer of the Tianjian Division?
Look at the mark on the back of this token, it is the Sky Supervisor of Gaoliu City.

"Can I bring someone to stay for one night?"

Lin Yan said this with a calm expression.

The other party looked at the token carefully and confirmed that it was the real commander token. Then he nodded slightly and said, "Since you are a lord from the Tianjian Division, you can enter naturally."

He sheathed his knife and shouted, "Third brother, you lead the way. I will help you collect your mother's bones."

"it is good."

The man next to him nodded slightly and said, "After you are cremated, send the ashes to my house."

The leading man responded and turned to leave.

Lin Yan and Lu Tang couldn't help but look at each other.

Lin Lei couldn't help but be surprised.

Were those old men who just died the parents of these warriors in front of us?
No wonder after those old men committed suicide, these warriors each tied a white scarf around their necks. I guess this is the way of wearing mourning clothes in this large purification area.

"A few..."

The warrior known as the Third Brother stepped aside and said, "Please follow me."

As he finished speaking, he looked in the direction where the bodies of the old men were, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Tang couldn't help but ask, "Weren't you the ones who blocked the way to the clean land just now, drawing your bows and arrows, and drawing your swords to supervise them to commit suicide?"

The man called the Third Brother said calmly, "To prevent them from dying in the Pure Land before they die, someone needs to watch over them!"

Lin Lei whispered: "Since the Pure Land cannot accommodate them, why not send them somewhere else? I see that you guys are all warriors with good skills. It shouldn't be difficult to escort them all the way..."

The man paused, as if a little impatient, but remembering the other party's identity as the Heavenly Supervisor, he finally explained: "My mother has bad legs and feet, has never practiced martial arts, and has no other means of making a living. If she stays in other pure lands, she can only wait to die."

Lu Tang wanted to ask why not send it to other cities, but he swallowed the words back before he could say them.

How difficult is it for outsiders to enter other cities and obtain the qualification to reside there?
Even if this man has reached the level of blood refining in martial arts, he may not necessarily have the hope of being qualified to live in the city.

What’s more, it’s his elderly mother?
"So, dying outside the Pure Land and bringing back the ashes is the best outcome?"

Lin Yan opened his mouth slowly and said this.

The man paused, tilted his head and looked over, saying, "My mother is 68 years old this year. She used to be in good health, but she got sick after winter." "If you count carefully, there are only a few people in the entire Pure Land who are older than her."

"After today, she can return home and be worshipped by her descendants. Isn't this the best outcome?"

He said calmly, "Of course, not as good as you city people."

"..."

Lin Yan fell silent, and finally sighed.

And this man called the Third Brother led them into the pure land.

The smoke from cooking is rising and the place is very popular.

It looks like a village, and is quite large.

In a trance, Lin Yan seemed to see the passing Jinliu Village, and couldn't help but wonder: "Is a large clearing land equivalent to a large village?"

As he was thinking this, another team of patrolling warriors came forward.

The man called Third Brother stepped forward to talk to the warriors.

Then he pointed at Lin Yan and others.

Then, without saying goodbye, he turned around and walked out of the pure land, heading in the direction he had just come from, presumably to bring back his mother's body.

"Greetings, Lord General Envoy."

The leader of the group of warriors came forward and said with a smile: "I heard that the old man inside knows Da Shouzheng, and he has just sent someone to report..."

He said this, and pointed to the house on the left, saying, "Tonight, my Lord, please bear with it and stay in that yard temporarily."

"The chief flag bearer of the Heavenly Monitoring Department can only live in this small courtyard?"

Lord Lu lifted the carriage curtain and said with a smile, "This is very different from the treatment we received in the past... Who are the distinguished guests in Yanshou Pure Land tonight?"

"The old man really has a keen eye."

Upon hearing this, the other party showed a look of surprise, and then said: "Today is such a coincidence. The City Guard Office in Qifeng City has sent a group of people."

"The grain transport team in Fengcheng also arrived in the afternoon and is still unloading."

"A caravan from Licheng, also holding a token, lives in the eastern area."

"Today is so busy, I don't even know what day it is."

The other party said so.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu lowered the curtain.

This large pure land does not completely reject communication with the outside world.

Firstly, he is willing to be governed by Qifeng Mansion.

Secondly, we are willing to accept caravans from all sides.

The prerequisite is that each caravan needs to hold a token from their own city.

After all, the goods brought by the caravans will also be loved by the people of the large pure land.

Merchant caravans from all sides can sell their goods and earn money in this large clean land.

Secondly, you can purchase some local products and resell them to other places in exchange for greater profits!
-

And outside the pure land.

It was evening, approaching night.

"Hurry! Get back to the Pure Land before dark!"

The warrior with darker skin just now said, "Hurry up!"

These elderly people who committed suicide outside the Pure Land were all their relatives.

They couldn't help feeling reluctant, so they didn't rush and always hoped to take one more look.

It was not until nightfall that I watched the old people commit suicide at the final moment.

It was still possible to bring the bodies back immediately.

But the group of people from Jiantiansi were delayed just now, and now they seem a little urgent.

"quick!"

As they increased their speed, they finally returned to the pure land before dark.

Everyone was panting and sweating profusely.

Soon, a man was heard saying, "Brother Ayun, who were those people just now?"

"They are from Gaoliu City, from the Heavenly Monitoring Division. The leader looks young, and he is the chief flag bearer of the Heavenly Monitoring Division!"

Brother Ayun couldn't help but sigh: "He is younger than me, but he is actually the general commander in a big city like Gaoliu City!"

His cultivation has reached the inner strong level. In this large pure land, he is already an extremely outstanding genius.

But the other party's cultivation was far superior to his own, and he was completely unable to see any clues.

He sighed and whispered, "There is always someone better than you."

"Takayanagi Castle?"

At this time, a young man was heard whispering, "Didn't the people from the caravan say that Gaoliu City had a genius...who was hailed as the number one prodigy in Qifeng Prefecture?"

Another warrior frowned and said, "This man is so young, yet he has already taken the position of the general commander. Could he be the number one genius?"

Brother Ayun shook his head slightly: "No, I heard that Gaoliu City's number one genius, known as the Fifth Master, is named Wuchang and is already an inspector."

"Inspector?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Then, Brother Ayun said, "Didn't an inspector come last time? He has a much higher status than the general flag officer. Even the chief governor came out to meet him..."

The status of the inspector is obviously higher than that of the general commander.

In this way, the general flag bearer who arrived today is still slightly inferior to the number one genius of Qifeng Mansion.

But in Gaoliu City, there was an Inspector Wuchang, and there was also such a young General Flag Officer!
"It's really a place with outstanding people..."

Brother Ayun thought about it and thought to himself, "I wonder if this person knows the Inspector Wuchang?"

"If there is a chance, I would like to learn the abilities of the Qifeng Mansion's number one genius."

He clenched his fists, looked at his sturdy arms, and thought to himself, "I heard that the Inspector Wuchang is about my age. I wonder how much stronger he is than me?"

-

At the same time, in the large clean land.

Inside the middle courtyard.

A young man stood outside the courtyard and whispered, "Great Guardian, a general flag envoy has come from the Heavenly Monitoring Department. There is an old man beside him who calls himself Lu Yue. He is your old friend."

"Ok?"

There was a surprised voice from inside, saying, "He has just achieved spiritual cultivation, why is he here?"
