Inner Demons

If it’s Lord Eastern Sea or any other monarch, at this time, he will probably tell the subordinates to resign. But Ziye Daoist seems to be very interested in Qin Fengzi. After looking at him for a while, he said: “Junior Brother sighed, why?”

Qin Fengzi hesitated for a while, seemingly wondering whether he should say the next thing. But when he looked up at Ziye Daoist again, he found that the other’s eyes were meaningful. So a certain thought came into his mind—before he even figured out what the thought was, the words blurted out.

“I heard that Daoist, after you were badly injured and returned to Weak Water, San Gong became ghost cultivation. I also heard that ghost cultivation is basically an obsession…” Qin Fengzi looked at He, “What is Daoist’s obsession?”

This question seems to have nothing to do with what the two people are going to talk about today. It shouldn’t have been asked by the trembling with fear before—nor Anyone can ask. Gui Xiu obsessed with this life-critical thing, and the consequences of being known are heavy or light. If there is an expert to design according to obsession, it will be very disadvantageous for ghost cultivation.

But Ziye daoist listened, but did not immediately answer or reprimand. His expression became more meaningful. After taking a few more glances at the descendants, he smiled instead: “My obsession is the same as that of everyone in Immortal Sect-that is, going back to the land and reviving the mysterious door. This is the point. , The ancestors’ words and deeds make us diary in our hearts, and I am no exception.”

“The ancestors once said that if anyone—anyone—dare to challenge my belief in Immortal Sect of lifelessness Everyone is punishable. What I am doing right now, I consciously follow the teachings of my immortal Immortal Sect Sect Master, and have a clear conscience. Junior Brother, what do you think?”

Qinfeng Zi looked at him directly. It seems that the next sentence will take a lot of effort. But with those strengths added together, it ended up as a dumb, reverberating words in this empty hall: “The great formation laid by the ancestor in the vast sea… Is it and so on?” /p>

The purple night daoist showed a subtle smile. He walked with his back in the hall for two more steps, then turned to look at Qin Fengzi: “What you asked is a question that many people in the door want to ask but dare not ask. I did not misunderstand you.”

“I once asked my ancestor about this question.” He paused, looking at Qin Fengzi, “Then my ancestor ordered me to see Li Yunxin. Maybe it’s because both of us have this question… Now he sent you to me.”

“Go here, and act accordingly.” Ziye daoist said softly, “Take a good look, what kind of person Liu Gongzan is. Then–“

He emphasized his tone: “Actually.”

After about three or four breaths, Qin Fengzi whispered: “I understand.”

” Let’s go.”

……

……

Eastern Sea country has fallen for several days. Most of the northern part of this small country is under Rong’s rule, but the southern part is still in chaos. Resistance, Rebels, and ambitious have all appeared on the scene, even more chaotic than the “occupied area” in the north.

In such a chaotic situation, it was unexpectedly the end of the year—the last day of the year. But the country is about to break, and it seems that few people care about such things.

Except for the town of Baishui on the southeast coast.

Actually more than a month ago, Baishui Town was already occupied by the “Sea King Lu Fei”. Half a month after Lu Baishui’s fleet went out to sea, the pirates who had been active on the ocean suddenly invaded him. After the three battles, the Eastern Sea Sovereign was wiped out and landed here. At that time, many people were puzzled by the behavior of pirates-they could come and go freely at sea, but when they were on land, they were like tigers in a cage. Wouldn’t they wait for the Eastern Sea army to encircle and suppress?

Only then did I know that the pirates also have foresight. Soon after Baishui Town was occupied, Rong Jun went all the way south. The war on the border is already a mess. Who cares about the scabies here?

So today, there is no war in Baishui Town, and people are still living as before. Even many ignorant people feel that the days after the arrival of the pirates are better than before—without the government, there is no need to pay taxes by the end of the year, and they can eat for many days. Lu Fei, who has always been “famous” but has not seen his true colors, has issued several laws prohibiting harassment and theft. The granary of the government was opened again for grain, and the large fields that belonged to the officials and nobles were allocated.

Although most of them were given to the pirates who went to sea and land, at least the townspeople felt that if the pirates had a livelihood, they would not be evil again. It also made them feel that these people didn’t seem to be going back to the sea after looting, but were planning to operate here for a long time.

Even more how, many people are also surprised to find that among those pirates, quite a few of them are people they were familiar with before.

For example, someone who killed a notorious “squire” in anger due to the occupation of the field and the scattered wives in a certain month in a certain year-thought he had died early.

For example, in a certain month and year, because a younger sister who was serving as a servant in the county’s family was killed alive, and someone who took the advantage of the night to arson and revenge—he thought he had died early.

Many of these “examples” made the townspeople feel more cordial, and they knew that the pirates weren’t all heinous people like the legend. Many people who could not survive on land or who had suffered a lot of hardships ran there.

The common people don’t really understand what is called “jurisprudence” and “decrees.” Their situation and limited cognition make them have natural sympathy for people in the same class and with similar experiences. The atmosphere formed by this simple kindness also made the town more stable.

Only a very limited number of people will notice and think about such a thing——

Just like the rich are not all arrogant and prostitious, the poor are not They are all honest and kind. Among the many pirates, the real criminals and cruel criminals must not be in the minority—otherwise it would be impossible for Sea King Lu Fei to have stalemate with the army for that many years—but now there are no such people in town. But this also made them realize the deep intentions of this sea king Lu Fei.

They really plan to come and not leave.

Because of the above-mentioned reasons, on this day at the end of the year, Baishui Town was 30% more lively than the previous peaceful season. Red lanterns are hung under the eaves of the houses. Starting in the morning, every household is busy removing the blessing characters and couplets that have been wind blowing and sun shining for a year, and pasting them with new ones. The chimney is full of smoke. The housewives are busy frying, frying, meat and oil in a town. There was remnant snow on the street and the wind was biting. But there is hot food in my belly and silver in my arms, so I don’t feel cold even when facing the wind. This also benefited from the pirates who landed-it is said that the sea king Lu Fei scattered all his personal wealth to the people in the town, and every household got two taels of silver. There are old, weak, sick and handicapped people at home, so they have a knife and a pot of oil.

Such a peaceful scene attracted many refugees. However, Haiwang set up a porridge farm at 10 li outside the town and sent a team of strong and vicious pirates to guard it. Only select young people who have skills or who have mild illnesses that can be cured and put them in the town. The rest were stopped outside the town. But this is the case, and it also won a considerable reputation for the new owner of Baishui Town.

Now the new owner is in the big house of Eastern Sea Inn. Nearly two months ago, he had a good chat with a visitor from the north. There are still two people in this room, but the situation is very different.

Lu Fei, or Lu Baishui, wrapped himself in a thick fur cloak, leaned against the fire, and looked out of the window with a sad expression.

This is the commanding height of Baishui Town, and you can see the lively scene of the town. If you have magical powers and strong ears, you can still hear a lot of people talking about the sea king Lu Fei. But he didn’t seem to be interested in any of these-low sighed then said, put his hand out of the fur, grabbed the bottle on the dwarf table, and quickly retracted, afraid of the cold. After warming up for a while, I took a sip in my mouth.

“I used to be like this.” Lu Baishui sighed again, “When Li Yunxin was here two months ago, I was not afraid of the cold at all.”

“You are a mortal , The spirit strength turbulent when unable to bear the battle of supernatural powers. It is fortunate that it has damaged the roots and saved his life.” The other person stood on the terrace with his back hands and watched the sea like before. When he said this, he turned around—it was Liu Gongzan who was heading for Eastern Sea panic in the rumor.

“But now you have come to land, and you are old acquaintances with King Rong. He has promised to call you Baishui Town self-government, and you will be regarded as a vassal, better than drifting on the sea.” Liu Gongzan He looked at his complexion, “It’s not impossible to have a better body. I can pass you a set of cultivation techniques. As long as you can set the temperament for a good cultivation, it will take a few years as fast as you can and 30 years as slow as possible, and your body will be strong. As before. If you continue to concentrate on repairing, you can—”

Lu Baishui drowsily raised his hand: “Okay. Before I met you, I was really interested in these things. After this… Come on.”

“I saw Divine Immortal with my own eyes on the sea—see Divine Immortal fighting. Once in Aquarius Bay, the water monster of Eastern Sea came to a small school, I already thought It’s terrifyingly supernatural. But that night I saw Li Yunxin fighting with people, and I realized that there are such methods in the world. Alas…you people, either have fortuitous encounters, or you start to temper temperament as a child. I…huh.”

He laughed, and took another sip of wine: “I can’t fix the temperament after I have been strayed for these years. Now that I see these things bye, I feel even more indifferent. Cultivation, forget it… Those on the Internet think Divine Immortal is good in every way, eat with a golden rice bowl and sleep in a white jade bed. But now I know that making Divine Immortal is not necessarily happy, I am afraid it is more dangerous.”

“Thanks to you— —” He stretched his voice, twitched his lips, “It’s fair to say that such a town is justified. If you can settle down the brothers, it can be regarded as a relief from disasters on the sea. From now on I will stay here for retirement. I have inexhaustible gold and silver. , I practice my sword every day, and maybe I can live another three 50 years… It’s the happiness of a mortal.”
