Man is in the midst of the mysteries of the spirit, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

But there were also many refugees kneeling on the roadside begging or even selling themselves, even more than at the gate of Yanghe Prefecture.

"Fei Chen, do you feel... that there are more refugees than before?"

Yin Yu looked at those ragged and haggard people and asked softly.

“It seems like there are a few more.”

Yin Feichen frowned and felt sympathy.

If they had not met Anle, they would most likely have been forced into this situation of family breakdown and death.

At this time, a little boy walked up to the two of them and knelt down.

"Miss, Master, please be kind, I haven't eaten for three days..."

Yin Feichen looked at his sister, took out a piece of dry food from the package and handed it over.

But this action attracted a group of beggars.

"Master, I am very capable. Please buy me."

"Miss! Give me some money! My father is dying of illness..."

Faced with this scene, the brother and sister were a little confused and didn't know how to respond.

Just as they were about to be surrounded by beggars, an angry shout came from the side, and the heat in their blood suddenly dissipated.

Feeling the heat, the beggars scattered and ran away far away.

Seeing this scene, Yin Feichen frowned slightly and felt uncomfortable.

Not far away, a group of warriors who looked like bodyguards came over, and the man in the lead asked with concern.

"Are you guys okay?"

Yin Feichen opened his mouth to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your help, brother."

In fact, with the energy of the brother and sister, it would not be a problem to drive away this group of beggars, but they had never encountered such a situation before, so they were a little stunned.

The big man asked again: "You are Lü Baihu's disciples, right?"

"The chief escort leader once mentioned you two."

Yin Yu suddenly realized: "It turns out that he is a senior from Yueshan Escort Agency."

"I am not qualified to be a senior...hiss..."

The escort wanted to be modest, but when he looked at the brother and sister, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "You have both reached the third realm."

"A good teacher really produces good students!"

The third realm at this age can only be described as "a promising future", which makes the escort feel a little sad.

At this time, Yin Feichen asked curiously: "Where do these refugees come from?"

The big man looked around and said in a low voice, "I heard that they all came here to escape from the neighboring state."

"There are some from Liuzhou and some from Yanzhou."

Yin Yu's expression changed slightly: "Escape, is it because of... the drought?"

The escort sighed softly, "Due to the drought and the taxes, many civilians were forced to death."

"Qingzhou City is still relatively good, but some small places are in chaos."

"You should have heard about the rebellion in Liuzhou, right? It's getting worse recently. The more we try to suppress it, the more chaos it causes! The trade routes near Liuzhou are almost completely cut off. Our escort agency doesn't even dare to set foot there easily."

As a well-traveled escort, he was naturally more aware of the changes that had taken place in recent days.

The escort originally only helped out for the sake of Captain Lu's face, but now, he felt that the brother and sister were worthy of close friendship, so he answered in such detail.

Before leaving, the big man reminded: "By the way, remember to be careful of the refugees in Liuzhou."

"Many of them have lost their minds and believe in some kind of magic that is like a demon sect. We must stay away from them."

The escorts' backs quickly disappeared into the distance, but Yin Yu felt increasingly depressed, as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart.

But she understood that this kind of thing was not something that she, a mere third level cultivator, could change, so she could only sigh dejectedly.

Yin Feichen noticed another thing: "Human Immortal Method, what is that?"

This name gave him a faint sense of foreboding.

Just then, the thin boy from before quietly walked over and whispered.

"I know the human immortal method."

The boy's body was so thin that he looked like a bag of bones. His head looked very big and his face was covered with dust.

But when he mentioned the term "human immortal method", his eyes lit up and a hint of fanaticism flashed across them.

"The sky is dead, and the immortals should be established."

"No age or death, no hunger or starvation."

"Life is endless, and will last for thousands of generations!"

His cheeks were red, his expression was crazy, and there was a murderous malice in his eyes that made the brother and sister feel cold.

But in the blink of an eye, the boy's appearance returned to normal and he asked softly.

"Master, Miss, can I take up a moment of your time?"

"I want to tell you about our human immortals and the Dharma."

Chapter 247 Liuzhou collapses!

Not long after, the Yin siblings returned to the house.

The brother and sister were keenly aware that this matter involved a lot of things and was far beyond their ability to get involved.

As soon as he saw Anle, Yin Feichen immediately repeated to him what happened in the evening and the information he had learned, and then asked anxiously.

"Master, this is the situation. Have you heard of this human immortal method?"

Hearing this, Anle's heart skipped a beat: "Sure enough, he's here!"

Although he had anticipated this situation, Anle still felt quite heavy-hearted when it actually happened.

He said, "Did the boy say that as long as one practices the human immortal method, one will no longer have to endure hunger, and will become extremely strong and fearless of pain. If one practices to a high level, one can also achieve immortality and become a human immortal?"

Yin Feichen nodded heavily, his tone was very surprised: "Yes, Master, how did you know?"

Anle did not explain this question, but stared at the two of them seriously: "Do you believe this?"

"How could I believe it?"

Yin Yu shook his head violently: "How can such a good thing happen in the world?"

As a commoner who had been struggling at the bottom of society since childhood, Yin Yu was much more mature than his peers and would never believe such nonsense.

Yin Feichen had the same attitude.

Anle continued, "From a certain perspective, the Human Immortal Technique can indeed do these things."

"But everything in this world has a price tag already."

"And the price of practicing immortal arts is only one, and that is... death!"

"They look like ordinary people, but in fact, their inner selves have been eaten away by some unknown existence, turning them into a group of walking corpses."

Hearing these words, the Yin siblings felt a little horrified and found it extremely strange.

Yin Feichen swallowed hard and asked in disbelief: "So, all those who practice this method will..."

From their simple communication with the boy, they learned that there were quite a few people practicing immortal arts, otherwise it would not have spread to Qingzhou.

And the lives of so many civilians...

Yin Yu felt a chill on his back and felt reluctant: "How could this be?"

"Who on earth is spreading this evil practice?"

Even Anle doesn’t know the answer to this question.

But what is foreseeable is that a huge chaos is sweeping across several nearby states.

Anle warned solemnly: "In short, if you meet someone practicing human immortality in the future, don't believe anything they say."

"They have all gone crazy."

The brother and sister naturally nodded quickly.

As An Le finished speaking, the token on his waist vibrated and Situ Yuan's trembling voice came from it.

"Brother Lu, something happened."

******

As the sky slowly darkened, Anle arrived at the foot of the Zhenling Pagoda.

Normally he arrived at the Zhenling Tower during the day, but today he was summoned at night.

This also shows the seriousness of the situation.

In the night, the towering Zhenling Tower looked particularly solemn and quiet, like a tall monster. The star-like lights lit up inside the tower indicated that other people had arrived earlier.

"Meet Lord Lu."

When Anle walked to the door, the guards nearby immediately bowed their heads and greeted him respectfully, without any trace of presumptuousness in their tone.

Other warriors gradually discovered Anle, and in addition to awe, there was also some strange emotion in their eyes.

Anle ignored these gazes and walked straight into the tower.

There are more warriors in the tower. Most of them look solemn and nervous. The atmosphere is extremely heavy, as if there is an invisible dark cloud hanging over their heads.

In the crowd, Anle locked onto Situ Yuan's position at a glance and walked forward.

Next to Situ Yuan stood a warrior who was missing an arm.

The man's face was covered in dust, his eyes were somewhat empty and lifeless, his expression was listless, and he looked very embarrassed.

When he saw Anle, his expression became extremely complicated, revealing a mixture of regret and pain. Finally, he sighed heavily, turned and left.

Anle recognized this warrior. He was one of Situ Yuan's good friends and was also in the team going to Liuzhou to quell the rebellion. He had persuaded Situ Yuan to go with him many times.

"Ugh……"

Looking at his good friend Xiao Se's back, Situ Yuan's face was full of sorrow and he sighed deeply.

"Brother Zhang has just broken through to the fourth realm, but he ran into something like this. It's really..."

He sighed for a while, and immediately said to Anle seriously: "Brother Lu, you saved my life."

"I don't need to thank you for your kindness. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me directly."

Situ Yuan's heart was filled with fear. He didn't even dare to think about what kind of situation he would have ended up in if An Le hadn't specifically reminded him.

Just today, the warriors who went to Liuzhou to quell the rebellion escaped back.

Yes, it’s “escape”!

Other than that, there is no word that can describe their miserable situation.

Of the warriors who went on the expedition that day, only one in ten managed to return to Qingzhou.

Those who managed to escape were all injured and looked dazed, as if they had been extremely frightened.

They brought back a shocking piece of news.

Liuzhou has fallen!

This was a literal "fall". The main city of Liuzhou had been occupied by the rebels, all the officials had been captured, and the soldiers had suffered heavy casualties.

Even the strong men from Liuzhou Zhenling Division were wiped out.

No one except Anle expected that a small rebellion would turn into this situation.

Compared to Qingzhou, Liuzhou is indeed a remote and poor place with dense forests and swamps everywhere, and the strength of the warriors is also far inferior.

But no matter what, it’s still a state!

There is also no less than one powerful person of the fifth realm guarding the Zhenling Division.

According to common sense, all the rebels can be wiped out by relying solely on those thousand households in the fifth realm.
