The Spirit World

Chapter 468 Terrible, Terrible

The city was sealed off very quickly, catching everyone off guard. In the snow in the middle of the night, some people were forced to walk out into the streets without even getting dressed. Those who wanted to resist were taken in the opposite direction by the Justice Department. Facing them, they would be severely tortured at the very least, and would be charged with treason and the death penalty at the worst. You have to know that the Fuzhen Department is responsible for guarding the border, and if they are not careful, they might be killed in their sleep by spies sent by the enemy. Their tough measures may seem inhumane in Longzhong City, and in fact, very violent, but please do not doubt it, they did it this way. The person's skin being torn to pieces or even death was expected, or it was a matter of time.

In fact, it was not so sudden. Judging from the curfew and strict inspections in recent days, all the smart people, big and small, have understood that something happened in Longzhong City. And it was not just an ordinary accident.

If Xu Jiaqing's announcement that the first great demon king would "arrive" in Longzhong City could be considered an announcement of a major event, then Li Lusheng, the White Deer King of the Fuzhen Division, must have discovered something major a long time ago, leading to...

The current situation is extremely chaotic, with blood and violence in the midst of the chaos.

Looking at those guys who were being taken in the opposite direction with bruised faces and noses, Chang Yufeng and Ju Junyi could only walk with their heads down. Their uniqueness made them lose energy along the way. They didn't dare to look those people in the eye, no matter how innocent they were.

Because they have been sentenced to death. They may have just been resting in bed, and then they were hurriedly kicked out of bed, hurriedly lost their temper, hurriedly taken to prison, hurriedly interrogated until their skin was torn, hurriedly confessed their crimes, and hurriedly died.

They came to Longzhong City, probably just to have some fun, but if they are not careful and do not cooperate, they will bring disaster upon themselves.

Pray silently that they will be reincarnated soon.

It's funny to say that even if the personnel of the Justice Department killed a troublemaker and an unconvinced person on the spot, no one would be surprised, because there are already two huge prisoner roads here, one leading to life and the other leading to death.

Chang Yufeng and Ju Junyi could only walk silently with their heads down. They followed the instructions of the Zhengfasi beside them without any gossip.

Many people in the same team didn't even dare to breathe. There was no one talking in this team. Coming out of the inn, even in the cold winter, the current scene was completely different.

The snow is so cold that I can't help but complain. The cold air seems to have entered my brain, and I can't help but shiver and try hard to keep warm.

But he couldn't do that. He could only endure the cold and couldn't use his spiritual power to keep warm. Because someone was watching him, and he would be considered to be doing something strange, and he was afraid that he would be separated from his soul forever.

No one thought that simply sealing off the city and asking everyone to leave would be so harsh.

It seemed as if the tens of thousands of "heroes" who had come to Longzhong City with untold hardships were no longer human beings.

cruel.

Chang Yufeng could only think of this adjective.

Under his veil, all that could be seen seemed to be mottled shoe prints and timid shyness.

He didn't know why this happened, he only knew that everything now was telling him one thing: things were changing.

The empire is about to change.

They left the city like prisoners. Heavy snow was falling from the sky. Everything was so peaceful.

Yes, calmness, a calmness that makes people feel a desperate silence.

Even if I don't say a word...

That's it.

He looked at the team leaving the city. Everyone was like him, not daring to say a word, including Junichi Tachibana.

Fortunately, the distance out of the city is not far, so I feel much more relaxed once I’m out of the city.

I heard that there were wild beasts infected by evil spirits running around outside, and for a moment I didn’t know where was safe.

The Ministry of Justice informed them that they needed to wait outside the city and that Crescent Bay was the boundary and they were not allowed to enter the city. Everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and rested on the spot.

The people from the Justice Department surrounded the entire Crescent Bay, which didn't mean they had much freedom, but at least they could move around.

Sitting in the snow and ice, not being able to use spiritual power, with the cold wind howling, is more like torture.

"Young man? Are you... from the Principality?" someone asked. Mo Yue felt that the man looked familiar. It was an old man who lived in the same inn.

This old man looks very old, and he has age spots on his body. In the empire, all the old people who practice Taoism are long-lived.

"No... I am a disciple of Bai Lingshan and a citizen of the Empire."

"Then why did you shave your head like this?"

"This... To be honest, I have had a strange disease since I was a child. I took medicine and it stopped working. It was really embarrassing."

Chang Yufeng said these words after careful consideration. He had thought of his words long ago.

The tense situation between the Empire and the Principality now made him very embarrassed. But he didn't cause any trouble and hadn't gone out much in the past few days, so no one cared about him.

"Is that so... you'd better grow hair earlier... hey... you know, changing the situation is just a matter of a word, and the people of the empire cannot be without hair." The old man shook his head and sighed, and it felt like there was something else behind his words.

Yes, it changed too quickly, it seemed as if we were still discussing in the morning whether we could not wear fancy clothes and go to the border of the principality to take a look, but now, even people who looked like people from the principality had to go to the prison for tea.

Things are changing so fast and no one will reason with you.

"I'll pay attention..."

“Being attentive is not enough, young man. I’m not trying to take advantage of my age, but I advise you to go and ask for hair growth medicine as soon as possible before a reward is offered for the capture of the people from the principality within the empire. Otherwise, you will be reported to jail and no one will listen to your explanation like I would.” The old man stood there, his hunched back like an old turtle.

His words made Chang Yufeng look at the people around him, and indeed many people in the same inn were looking at him.

Although her face was covered with a veil, the coolness she felt was no longer the coolness of ice and snow, but the coolness of people's hearts.

"Hmm..." Chang Yufeng nodded.

Jun'ichi Tachibana didn't say anything, but rubbed his hands to keep warm.

Looking at the snow falling heavier and heavier, the old man sighed again and said: "This happened a long time ago, but at that time the people of the Principality did not dare to come to the Empire, and the scene was not as cruel as it is now. Although the present is different from the past, many things have not changed completely... In the end, it is nothing more than a matter of one word."

"The old man has deep feelings." Chang Yufeng echoed the old man who reminded himself to quickly get rid of his suspicion.

The old man shook his head and looked at Chang Yufeng with his cloudy eyes. The veil on his face seemed to be seen through by him. His wisdom was revealed, or perhaps he had seen too much, and Chang Yufeng wanted to hear every word he said.

For those who have experienced great storms, being able to see the signs of things that have happened in history from small signs can also be considered a kind of life experience.

Although, anyone with a discerning eye knows that these few days, or the days to come, will become uneasy.

"Very profound... haha... from ancient times to the present, it has been mostly like this... just a change of name but the substance remains the same. These things have little to do with us ordinary people. It's good if we can survive, but if we can't survive, then we can't survive. The ants turn over by relying on the tiny grains of sand. Those who survive the huge waves are not ordinary people..." The old man glanced at Junichi Tachibana, who looked at him in confusion and rubbed his hands to keep warm.

She didn't want to hear these words.

"I hope you young people can make your own judgments. As an old man like me, I can only speak for myself if I have seen it. If I haven't seen it, I won't say anything."

The old man left after he finished speaking, and it seemed that he would not stand with Chang Yufeng anymore. Chang Yufeng did not try to stop him, and when he went to look for him again, he could not find any trace of him.

But there were too many people and Crescent Bay was packed with people.

The winter snow hanging on the branches was pure white, a rare beautiful sight, but few people were willing to appreciate it. Everyone stood there, no one laughed, and no one cried. Those who were crying should be those who had taken the opposite path of detention from them. Logically they should have been able to laugh, but no one could.

"Is it cruel?" Jun'ichi Tachibana didn't know where he was looking. He was shivering from the cold and tapping his feet, as if trying to ease the awkwardness here.

"what?"

Chang Yufeng glanced at her. He didn't feel cold, but there was nothing he could do to ease the embarrassment of just standing there.

Standing here like this, I don’t know when it will end.

"I think those people are going to die..." Tachibana Junichi glanced at the city.

"You mean..." Those who were taken in the opposite direction...

"Yes... they are going to die... The Fuzhen Division has always been like this... They would rather kill the wrong person than let him go... They are even more... terrifying than the Wutong Division of Bailing Mountain..."

Tachibana Junyi shuddered, perhaps because she was frightened. She looked at Chang Yufeng, and through the veil, she could only see her pity: "They didn't die for no reason... It can only be said that they were unlucky... Losing your temper at this time... You have no tact at all..."

"Hmm..." Chang Yufeng nodded, not knowing how to answer.

It was such a sad thing that he could foresee their death... because he couldn't save them, so this was the saddest thing,

Perception...maybe it's something worth learning.

because……

There aren't so many reasons...

Lack of tact means low emotional intelligence. So many people are detained here, and they dare not say a word, but they are the ones who are shouting loudly and being unreasonable to the Justice Department. I can't even stand the temporary unbearableness, so how can I plead with them...

Death is indeed too heavy a punishment, but no one seems to dare to plead with them, because if they do, they will be the next one to die.

This was not a day that went down in history, because the Fuzhen Division was in charge of the border and was the most powerful department. If a spy slipped in, the director of the Fuzhen Division would be executed immediately. Such a matter of righteousness would not cause any slackness. It was only in books that amused children. Cruel history was always written in blood.

In the empire, killing without mercy was a common occurrence for a period of time. During that time, everyone was in danger, and as a result, only six of the seven major families remained, and one family disappeared from the world and could not be found.

When those who could not remember that period of history died, that period of history began to be demonized.

What does it matter?

The members of that family were wiped out, and there was no grand legendary story of revenge. Who could reason with them?

Did you explain it all?

It’s not complete.

Be more open-minded and don't be tripped by the word "profit". The ways of the world are like the creation of heaven and earth. Those who want to understand, or those who have already understood, mostly want to protect themselves. In ancient times, there was a man like Jia Xu, who offered advice and suggestions and enjoyed his old age. Being smart but not making mistakes with his own smartness is what people should pursue throughout their lives.

Think more, be more enterprising, be more moderate, be more just, and if you are upright you will not be afraid of your own shadow. Don't be bound by narrow morals, don't be bound by messy morals, don't be disturbed by the world, don't be trapped by yourself. Only then can you see every step clearly.

But everything is easier said than done. After all, it is just a waste of saliva. As for how to treat people, it is a behavioral constraint based on character. How can it be explained clearly?

So, this matter is unclear...

They will die, so let them die...

I can't save myself...

Did they break the law? No. Did they do anything that was against the law? No. To be precise, they just got here with great difficulty, and then they couldn't help but get a little irritable because of their personality.

But they are going to die eventually...

How can you say it's cruel...

How can we not say it is cruel?

"Hmph... Fortunately it wasn't us..." Tachibana Junichi chuckled softly, feeling relieved but not happy. She looked at others, and they looked at her. She withdrew her gaze and looked at the snow in the distance, not at the people: "This world... Oh my fate..."

“I can only say that this time it’s not us… It seems that Longzhong City will be extremely difficult to take this step.”

Chang Yufeng looked at Tachibana Junichi, but couldn't see her eyes.

"Wait... I guess many people can't stand this horrible weather..." Tachibana Junichi stopped rubbing her hands. Her face was red from the cold, but she didn't know what to do. She had to pull out a piece of clothing from her sleeve and put it on.

"are you cold?"

"I'm not cold..."

"Do you have any clothes? Lend them to me..."

Chang Yufeng took out clothes from his sleeve and saw the drowsy Xiaolan sleeping peacefully and snoring.

After handing the clothes to Tachibana Junichi, Chang Yufeng didn't know why, but he felt very heavy...

So heavy that I couldn't breathe.

Is this a man-made disaster? It is a man-made disaster that cannot be avoided.

After all...

Your own choices still affect...

No, that would be taking yourself too seriously...

Even if he hadn't come, the same thing would have happened in Longzhong City anyway, and it wouldn't have mattered whether he was there or not.

He calmly looked at those people who were unable to use their spiritual power to resist the cold. Some people wanted to resist, but were detained by the Law Enforcement Department and taken back to the city.

Perhaps only death awaits him.

Freezing to death here is the same as dying in prison. If you think this way, perhaps many people will resist.

But after the Judge Advocate raised his sword and the head rolled in front of them, they just made a sound and changed their thinking that they might not freeze to death here, but if they went to the city now, they would really die.

They became much quieter.

No one has come to explain why they were driven here, so they can only wait.

[In every layout of the world, some people will pan out gold from the sand to teach others that gold will always shine, but in fact, most people would rather choose a piece of pure gold with better quality. I tell you this not because I want to tell you the truth about everything, I just tell you the facts.

But don't be afraid, there will always be someone who can turn mud into real gold.

Although, some people are born with gold, shining brightly. 】

It would be wonderful if the story of teaching you how to pan for gold in the sand ended with the discovery of gold.

Those who are willing to believe in this beauty do not need to be afraid, because the story always ends when the person gets the gold and then falls.

Because, like those who pan for gold in the sand, and those who get something for nothing and sit there as if they have a good life, both carry...

scary……

[Terrible...]

[Terrible, terrible.]

In fact, it is hard to understand why Lan Luo did this. How many people are planning and how many are breaking the game.

Although it seems that there is no strategy that is linked to each other, there is actually one. No matter where it comes from or where it goes, there is absolutely no humane thinking and consideration. Looking carefully, I must have written a chain of ideas, but why is there no effect... Because I just glossed over it. I think there are only two types of strategies, conspiracy and open conspiracy.

I haven't read many military strategies, so I can only tell you that Lan Luo wants to return the power to Chang Yufeng, and Chang Yufeng has gone through so much, his hatred has actually faded, and he hates himself the most, not those people behind the scenes - the people behind the scenes look so powerful, but in fact it's because Chang Yufeng has no one to help him, so there is no pleasure of camp confrontation. In essence, fighting alone is not very good for a novel, and the villain is too powerful, which is also disgusting. It is a taboo to write a cool article without being cool, and I make one mistake after another...hahaha...forget it...just write it like this. Write in your own style, and when I feel cool, I will write it super cool.
