Imagine the world

Hua Zhenxing and Guangren looked at each other, they were speechless for a moment, Guangren got up first and said, "I'll catch it."

After dawn, everyone drank the chicken soup and set off again. The colorful glazed pavilion had been put away, and everyone felt refreshed, even Manman looked happy.

It's raining again, it's actually raining from the sun, and the rain is flying in the sky, and the sky in the east is full of sunshine, and the mood seems to be rendered by the glow inexplicably.

This time it was Shi Shuang who took shelter from the drizzle. She didn't sacrifice the curly tencel, but took out the spring rain branch and twirled it on her fingertips to have fun.

Shi Shuangcheng is a specially appointed guest instructor at the headquarters of Yangyuan Master. According to the latest policy formulated by Huazhenxing, five-level Yangyuanshu instructors certified by Yangyuangu can receive a magic weapon according to the tradition of the Eastern Kingdom's practice sect.

The sects of the Eastern Kingdom's practice inheritance, including Jianghu loose cultivators, all have disciples who break through the four realms and become masters after the rules, which means that the disciple has the ability to use the imperial weapon and use the magic weapon, and has become an official monk.If conditions permit, the elder or the sect will bestow an inheritance magic weapon.

The regulations of the Yangyuanshi headquarters are slightly different. The Yangyuanshi under his name must obtain a fifth-level certificate before he can receive a magic weapon in the warehouse.Although there are artifacts left over from Dingfengtan sent by the Kunlun League today, there are a total of 160 seven pieces of magic weapons including spring breeze branches, but according to the expected future scale of Yangyuan Valley, the fourth-level Yangyuan master may far exceed this number .

Moreover, although the fourth-level Yangyuanshu instructors have the ability to control weapons in theory, they have basically never learned any supernatural powers and techniques, and they need to be retrained to make up for their shortcomings.They are at least good at a certain "professional direction", and they can only receive a public magic weapon according to the situation after breaking through the fifth level.

This magic weapon is not for private individuals, it is to receive or distribute it, and it is only temporarily used by the fifth-level Yuanyangshu instructor. Its ownership still belongs to the Yangyuan master headquarters, and it will be taken back under special circumstances.

Since this policy was in place, Shi Shuangcheng also chose a magic weapon, the iconic spring rain branch, which had the largest number of magic weapons sent this time.She didn't intend to take this spring rain branch back to the East Country, but just held it in her hand for research temporarily, and would stay in Yangyuan Valley when she returned to China.

Looking at Shi Shuangcheng holding a spring rain branch, and looking at Manman with a smile on his face, even Daoist Guangren walked with a sense of joy. Surprised.

It wasn't these people who surprised Hua Zhenxing. These people were in a normal state, but it was his own state of mind that seemed to be a little problematic. If he hadn't hiked through the desert with Shi Shuangcheng, he might not have realized it.

Shi Shuangcheng is not the Princess Ketia who came here back then.

Ketia bears the title of aristocratic princess of the royal family, and with her stewards and servants, she also holds titles in several foundations, using her own name and other people's money to gain charity fame.

Princess Ketia went hunting for entertainment, and the local gangsters had to serve her. Shire was the bodyguard in the camp exploring the road with bare feet.She lowered her posture a little and greeted Shire so excitedly that she couldn't sleep well for several months.

Shi Shuangcheng is a monk, and he traveled thousands of miles with Guangren to deliver things, and by chance in Yangyuan Valley, he broke through the five realms.It is not difficult for her to trek across the desert in the rainy season, but it is natural that she can get transcendental happiness by practicing it, otherwise what is the purpose of practicing?

Mr. Feng asked her to see the suffering in the world, using the word "see", instead of letting her fall into suffering.Shi Shuangcheng was only [-] years old. He was still a child in Dongguo, and he was just a naive and lively girl.

If even she has a difficult mood of bitterness and hatred, then what hope is there in this world?Then it wouldn't be Shi Shuangcheng's problem. Her elders in Dongguo would feel ashamed.

What is the purpose of Hua Zhenxing and others forging a new alliance and promoting Yuan Yang?Isn't it just to make this world truly full of sunshine, so that all people can live happily, so that every girl has the opportunity to be like Shi Shuangcheng?

Of course, this does not mean that they all recognize Leader Mei as their father.

On the contrary, Hua Zhenxing himself was too immersed in a certain emotion.He is an idealist and always has an urgent sense of mission. There is nothing wrong with this in itself, but as he thinks about more and more things, his state of mind is unconsciously filled with anxiety and depression.

Although the feet are muddy and slippery, his state of mind should be more open and bright, because his ideal is to bring sunshine to this world.

Old man Yang reminded him some time ago that Hua Zhenxing thought he understood at the time, but in fact he didn't fully understand it, and only now gradually came to his senses.The guidance given by the three elders was not to make him a sober suffering person, otherwise he would lose the true meaning of practicing freedom and detachment.

Has Shi Shuangcheng seen the real Jili Kingdom?Of course I saw it. From the port of Fiso to Banda City, there are more dark things and they are disappearing quickly, but the girl did not ask the previous question again.

If you want to see the port of Feisuo before the emergence of the new alliance, you must travel back to the past, or go to the unliberated city of Wago. This is the purpose of Hua Zhenxing taking her southward today.

But did they go to Vago City just to visit the sufferings of the world and witness the crime and chaos?Those are not objects of appreciation, and normal people avoid them.

Along the way, they already had the answer, which was the answer that Hua Zhenxing wanted to tell Shi Shuangcheng subconsciously, and it was probably the world event that Mr. Feng wanted Shi Shuangcheng to finally witness.

Today's Banda City is the tomorrow of Vago City; today's Fiso Port is the tomorrow of Banda City.The world is returning to life, and people see the sunshine of hope.

Where does life and hope come from, and why do people here live in purgatory before the emergence of the new alliance?This is the hardship of the world!

Mr. Feng asked Shi Shuangcheng to witness the mystery of good fortune, the suffering of the world, and the hardships of the world.So what kind of testimony and harvest can Shi Shuangcheng bring to Hua Zhenxing?

Thinking of this, Hua Zhenxing also showed a smile, and his expression became a little mischievous. He took out a bunch of things from his backpack and looked at it as a ball of bamboo strips. He threw it into the air and unfolded into a bamboo magpie. And circling and flying in the drizzle.

Shi Shuangcheng was pleasantly surprised: "This is fun. I originally wanted to build one, but unfortunately I didn't have time... Can you lend me to play for a while?"

Hua Zhenxing gave the bamboo magpie to Shi Shuangcheng, introduced the wonderful function of this device, and took the initiative to sacrifice the Shenyin spear and turn it into a long-stem lotus leaf to shelter everyone from the drizzle.Shi Shuangcheng put away the spring rain branch and took the bamboo magpie, and soon figured out the general magical effect, let the bamboo magpie fly to expand his vision, and observe the great desert from another angle.

While playing happily, Shi Shuangcheng suddenly exclaimed: "My God, there are so many skeletons over there!"

Guangren also changed his color and said: "There are many skeletons ahead."

About a kilometer away from them, the rainy season washed away several sand dunes, revealing a lot of bones underneath, and they were all human remains.Everyone rushed to the front to check with their spiritual sense, and there were still many bones buried under the sand.

Chapter 303 Torn Pieces

Guangren walked around like a whirlwind, came back and said solemnly: "Within a radius of two kilometers, there are at least 3000 corpses, many of which are children's remains. Could it be that there was a massacre here?"

In fact, on the way, they found some human remains buried under the sand.Considering that this is not a peaceful place, wars occur from time to time, and the desert is a dangerous area, it is not too surprising that there are victims.

But it is obviously too abnormal for so many remains to appear in one place.Shi Shuangcheng turned pale and said, "Can you determine the time of death?"

Guangren: "About fifteen to 16 years ago."

Hua Zhenxing: "I know what's going on, these are the refugees from back then..."

The great riot 16 years ago swept across the entire Jili Kingdom. It was a vendetta provoked by external forces, and many places were littered with corpses.There are many people in the city of Wago in the south, trying to cross the desert to take refuge in the city of Banda in the north; and there are many refugees in Banda City with the same thoughts, crossing the Madarao River and trying to escape to the city of Wago through the desert.

Some people should have reached their destination, and many people never made it out of the desert.

The most tragic time and place should be when the people fleeing from the north and the south meet in the middle of the desert. They are all fleeing to the other shore, but they know from the people they meet that the other shore is also hell.

Although it was the dry season at that time, most of the refugees had no means of transportation and had to walk across the desert, and it was impossible to carry enough food and water.The gathering of desperate crowds in the middle of the desert may also lead to a scramble for survival supplies.The road that Hua Zhenxing and others took happened to pass through the place where the refugees gathered in the desert 16 years ago...

After hearing Hua Zhenxing's conjecture, and looking at the piles of bones scattered among the sand dunes and water pools, everyone was silent for a moment.The drizzle stopped, Shi Shuangcheng also put away the bamboo magpie, and they walked quickly across the area in silence.

After a long time, the sand under his feet gradually turned into gravel. Shi Shuangcheng suddenly asked, "Hua Zhenxing, what happened to the riot you mentioned?"

What is the riot?Ever since Hua Zhenxing could remember, there have been constant disturbances in Jili Kingdom, large and small. In the port of Fesuo where he lived, people died of various accidents almost every day.If it were in Dongguo, it would be a major vicious security case, but here almost no police will enforce the law.

Even so, the great riot that swept across the country 16 years ago still makes everyone who experienced it feel palpitating.At that time, Hua Zhenxing was just born, and many things were told by others.

Jili Kingdom became independent only in the 60s of the last century. It was originally a geographical concept and was successively designated as colonies of several Western powers.In the 80s and [-]s after its independence, when the United States and the Mauro State were competing for supremacy, Jili State ushered in a period of golden development

The prosperity at that time was also superficial in many aspects. In order to exploit local resources, consolidate the international camp and influence, and achieve better control in terms of politics, economy, and culture, the original suzerain power group invested in the establishment of some enterprises, Supported a group of local forces.But in any case, at that time, Jili Kingdom did usher in a rare period of rapid development.

The situation changed in the late 80s and early 90s. This seemingly prosperous development stagnated, while control and plunder became more and more serious.In a few miles, more and more people are beginning to realize how oppressed and exploited this country has been.

The calls for developing national industry, realizing economic and political independence, and getting rid of new forms of colonial control are also getting louder.In response to this situation, the method adopted by the power group of the former suzerain country was to pry open the cracks within a few miles.

If the society of Jiliguo is torn into different groups and falls into endless internal friction, then it will be powerless to struggle.

How to tear society apart?The most common and most commonly used method is to design a set of templates, and then look for conflicts. If you can’t find them, you can create them yourself.Put pre-set labels on both sides of the conflict, a certain label represents a certain group, and then expand the conflict between the two groups, and repeat this operation in multiple directions until the society is torn apart.

For example, Zhang San and Li Si had a conflict. The normal way of cognition and handling is a matter between the two of them. First of all, it is necessary to distinguish right from wrong between the two. Receive compensation and comfort.

However, someone used another routine, labeling Zhang San as a person from the A tribe, a local, and a person of type A, and labeling Li Si as a person from the B tribe, local B, and type B.Then spread among people of type A that people of type B are oppressing people of type A, and among people of type B propagate that people of type A are oppressing people of type B, split everyone into two groups, and stir up conflicts and conflicts among them. hatred.

As for the identities of Zhang San and Li Si, why they had a conflict, whether they had a conflict, or even whether there were these two people, and the truth of the facts, it doesn't matter to those who provoked the conflict. a certain society.

This method of tearing society apart is usually vertical and within the same class, rather than horizontal and between different classes. Vertical social tearing can instead cover up the real social relationship between different classes. source of contradiction.

After the society is torn, it is difficult to heal, and A or B will be torn apart again by the same means.Most of the daily conflicts in Port Fiso once manifested in the form of neighborhood gangs, and the entire society has been completely fragmented.

So what role is the instigator of the conflict playing at this time?They have become the discoursers who point out the country and the saviors who are high above.

So in many conflicts, how to distinguish whether there is such a direction?There are two criteria for judging.First of all, to borrow the words of a great man, is there someone who forcibly distorts the contradictions among the people into contradictions between the enemy and ourselves?Secondly, is there someone who forcibly labels both parties in occasional and individual conflicts as a certain group, and then provokes the tearing and confrontation of the group?

Until now, Jili Kingdom has not established a real resident registration system, but 16 years ago, under the assistance and instigation of some unknown force, it actually issued passports to all citizens that most people do not need at all.

Judging from living habits, cultural traditions, and blood relations, there is no real ethnic division in Jili Kingdom, but in the official passports, all citizens are divided into different ethnic groups, roughly based on appearance. Well, in fact, the real standard is only clear to the instigator himself.

Speaking of this, Hua Zhenxing asked again: "Have you ever seen brothers with different nationalities in their passports? There were many such things back then, just because they lived far away and didn't look much alike. Someone's The nose is slightly flatter."

When and where did the riots start?Afterwards, no one can tell. It may be because of the inconspicuous civil conflicts that occur every day, which are magnified into group conflicts, appearing from multiple places at the same time, and quickly swept across the entire territory of Jili Kingdom, including other surrounding countries. .

The consequence of the turmoil was the disintegration of this country, which has continued to this day.The entire Jili Kingdom was almost smashed to pieces, poor and chaotic, with almost nothing to squeeze out, and had been forgotten by the world for a long time.

Why would the former colonial masters who controlled the Jili Kingdom prefer to let the country be destroyed, rather than allow it to become self-improving?Because they cannot tolerate their original status being challenged, this is an extension of the bandit logic, and deep in their group subconscious, I am afraid they are also full of fear.

Because they plundered this place, accumulated primitive capital, left a lot of bones in this land, and countless crimes have not yet been liquidated.On the other hand, they also like to preach in the name of God that everyone in the world is guilty, and that love and forgiveness are the most noble qualities.

Ordinary people in Jili Kingdom in purgatory want to struggle. They have no choice but to trample on their compatriots and become the top gangsters, and then accept the control of larger gangster forces. In the end, they still serve their will and interests. There is no way out.

Why did Shire's speech never conceal his past, but it can arouse the widest resonance among the people of this country?Because the new alliance led by Charles has given the vast majority of people another choice, allowing them to see a truly beautiful hope.

Hua Zhenxing talked all the way about the riot that year, and the Jili Kingdom before and after the riot. They finally arrived in Wage City at noon.

Wago City also has relatively "noble" neighborhoods. There are always police patrolling the streets. The major gangs try to avoid making trouble in this area and maintain a relatively stable order on the surface.

But leave a neighborhood like this, and things change immediately.The clothes of the four of them, especially their appearance and skin color, shouldn't have appeared in many places in this city, but they did appear, so they looked very abrupt, like a few lambs breaking into a pack of wolves.

Sewage-flowing streets and alleys, dilapidated and messy houses, and a big man with nothing to do at the entrance of the alley, with a dagger stuck in his clothes, saw them with fierce eyes and shouted: "This is not where you came, get out!"

Without saying a word, Hua Zhenxing turned around and left with the other three.Shi Shuangcheng muttered: "It's so fierce, are all the people here like this?"

Hua Zhenxing said with a wry smile: "Maybe he is a good man. He told us to get out, but he didn't want us to be in danger. He knows the situation in his neighborhood very well."

Guangren: "Fellow Daoist Hua sees problems from a very unique angle."

Shi Shuangcheng: "What is he doing standing at the entrance of the alley?"

Manman explained: "The gang in the neighborhood is a lookout. In every gang-controlled neighborhood, there will be such people at the intersection on weekdays. They will not let outsiders in casually."

Shi Shuangcheng: "Isn't it okay to drop by?"

Manman: "Looking at us, we don't have any relatives or friends there. If something really happens, we have to tell him exactly who to call and what to do."

They quickly turned into another block. At the entrance of the alley, there was also a big man with a swollen face. He looked up at them, his eyes were like a lion who had found its prey, but he didn't say anything.

Chapter 304

Hua Zhenxing led everyone into this alley. Most of the people didn't go out during the rainy season. Many residents who had nothing to do were squatting or sitting under the eaves. Most of them were men, and they were not too old. They cast their gazes over .

Some people looked numb and did not respond, but their necks followed the footsteps of several people, some people showed fierce expressions without any scruples, and some people were smiling. That smile made people feel creepy, it felt like a vicious dog saw meat bone.

Even if Shi Shuangcheng was a bold person, he also had goosebumps at this moment, and muttered in a low voice: "Why are you only looking at us, but no one is saying hello?"

Hua Zhenxing: "You better hope no one greets us."

Shi Shuangcheng: "Didn't it mean that there would be a bunch of kids hugging their legs asking for money or stealing their wallets?"

Hua Zhenxing: "It's a small scene. It doesn't happen in this kind of neighborhood. It's usually in public places and places where tourists come and go. It's not easy for adults to rob, and children who ask for money will not be in too much danger."

Guangren suddenly said: "People are following from behind, including the one standing at the street just now, there are five people with knives, and one of them has a pistol...the gun has been drawn, and it is about 50 meters away from us. Meter."

Hua Zhenxing: "Master Taoist, can you use a gun?"

Guangren: "Just learned, not very proficient."

Hua Zhenxing: "Then hurry up and become proficient, and you will be able to use it later."

Guangren: "Actually, you don't need a gun."

Shi Shuangcheng also interjected: "Xiaohua, do you have any misunderstandings about Kunlun's sanxing precepts? When encountering gangsters with swords and guns facing each other and wanting to do something murderous, you can use your supernatural powers."

Hua Zhenxing: "That's true, I'm just used to using a gun."

Guangren grew up, and only touched real firearms during his university military training, and he fired a total of five bullets.But this time he crossed the desert and came to Wago City. In addition to the small pistol he carried with him, Hua Zhenxing took two pistols, two submachine guns, and a rifle.

That rifle can be fired single-shot or in bursts. In the single-shot state, it can be used as a sniper rifle in Hua Zhenxing's hands without a scope, and it is also equipped with a grenade launcher.Of course, various bullets, grenades, and grenades were also prepared, and they were all stuffed into Guangren's space artifact.

They almost regarded Guangren, a Dacheng monk of the same sect, as a mobile warehouse. Shi Shuangcheng stuffed Guangren with ovens, charcoal, meat skewers, etc., and gave him a colorful glazed pavilion early this morning, and Hua Zhenxing stuffed it here. They are all firearms.

Monks generally don’t use supernatural powers to deal with ordinary people. The Kunlun League’s collective precepts are as follows: first, don’t pretend to be a saint and confuse the village; , It is forbidden to use Taoism to seek obscenity and blackmail the people.

But the prohibited behavior of the precepts does not include the current situation.If gangsters commit crimes, monks can use whatever supernatural powers they have, and try to avoid shocking the world and harming innocent people. In fact, they don't need guns at all.

While talking, a young man with dull eyes suddenly walked out from behind a semi-collapsed courtyard wall. He should be a little younger than Hua Zhenxing, but he was actually naked and naked, without shoes, but with his right hand holding Holding a large needle tube with a very thick needle, it stopped in front of several people.

Hua Zhenxing stepped forward to protect Manman behind him.Guangren also turned sideways to block Shi Shuangcheng's sight, and glared at him.

In Banda City, Daoist Guangren's glaring tactic was tried and tested to get rid of those who tried to strike up a conversation, but at this moment it seemed to have no effect.The boy looked straight over, his eyes seemed out of focus, raised the syringe with his left hand and said a short English word: "Money!"

Hua Zhenxing clearly replied with a simpler English word: "No!"

Without saying a word, the young man pierced Hua Zhenxing's left chest with the syringe in his hand. It was so simple, direct, brutal, and barbaric. There was no bargaining process, and he didn't even say "kill him if you don't pay." You" and the like.

It may be that he still doesn't know how to speak such complicated Yin language, or it may be that his mind is not clear at all. From the perspective of the young man, his needle pierced into Hua Zhenxing's left chest, but he didn't have the feeling of piercing into the flesh and blood. Sensation, it drew a strange arc and came out through the body, no wounds could be seen, not even the clothes were torn.

Of course, it was impossible for Hua Zhenxing to let this young man hit the target. He used the magical magic of illusion, which was once the best method of Gu Wentong, the magician of Cambisting.Later, Hua Zhenxing also learned it from Yue Gaole. Although it is not as subtle as Gu Wentong's use, it has long been able to use it freely.

The back of the boy's hand and elbow were slapped by a force, and his arm turned inward, and the needle plunged into his own left chest, which was the same place where he plunged into Hua Zhenxing's "body" just now.

The boy's sluggish eyes suddenly became somewhat sober, and he opened his mouth wide as if he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible force.He fell slowly to the side and back, and then half turned and lay in the muddy water, as if being supported by an invisible force, without making any sound, not even splashing half a splash of water.

Shi Shuangcheng and Guangren had never killed anyone before, and it was the first time they saw Hua Zhenxing kill someone with his own hands.Shi Shuangcheng said tremblingly: "This, this is..."

She didn't know what to say anymore, Manman asked back: "According to your Dongguo words, do you want to fight for three hundred rounds?"

Local residents on both sides of the alley also saw this scene. Some stood up in surprise, and some hurried back to the house and closed the door, but no one screamed or exclaimed. The scene seemed to be silenced strangely.

The boy's sideways body fell to the base of the wall, Hua Zhenxing continued to walk forward, and everyone followed, Guangren seemed to say something to Shi Shuangcheng in a low voice: "Even if this child does not die today, his lifespan is less than half a year."

Shi Shuangcheng: "You just..." Before she finished speaking, eight big men suddenly came out in front of them, each armed with weapons, blocking their way, three of them were holding pistols, and the other five were holding machetes.At this time, the five people behind also followed, one with a gun and four with knives, blocking them in this narrow alley.

A total of thirteen murderers, four guns, nine knives of different lengths, all wearing shoes.
