Chapter 57 Changshan Town
When Zuo Chen heard about Daliang’s Taoist level, he was amazed.
In this world, there is no talk of building a foundation elixir and a Yuanying, but there are land gods and true immortals.
According to the jade pendant fished out from the bottom of the lake, there are still cultivators in Daliang. Now it seems that it is probably this capital master.
"How is this capital master doing now?" Zuo Chen asked.
"Dead."
"Dead?"
"To be precise, he is missing, but everyone in the world says he is dead." Caiyi said: "It should be decades. What happened before was that the capital was drinking with the then emperor. That night there was lightning and thunder. He disappeared the next day. Some people said that he became an immortal and had ascended to the immortal world. Others said that he attempted to murder the emperor, but was solved by the experts around the emperor.
"But there are always traces of him ascending to the immortal world. Yes, the capital has not even seen a shadow for decades. Probably dead. ”
Caiyi shook his head, looking like a roadside storyteller.
After she finished telling the story of the capital, she did not forget to add:
"But what I heard is just what people in the world often tell. I definitely don't know the specific facts. I just I don’t think a person with such great ability in the capital would be killed by the emperor. I’m afraid he found a secret. After he became an immortal, he stopped playing with mortals.
“Later, the emperor’s son, the late emperor’s successor. He was incompetent, caused chaos in the world, and died early, so the little emperor is now only fourteen years old. Many people in the world said that this was a prescription left by the capital at that time, which broke the dragon's veins. ”
Zuo Chen remembered this story in his heart, but he still didn’t know how good the cultivator in the capital was.
If I could see him in the future, I would definitely prepare two more cups of tea and hold a candle. Night talk.
...
On the way, Xiao Changcheng kept looking in the air, as if thinking about something, without saying a word.
Waiting for the donkey to walk halfway, Xiao Changcheng suddenly asked:
"Master Tao, I have something unclear. If you are free, you would like to help me clear up the confusion."
“Tell me.”
"Before that Zhu Dao said, King Kang didn't care about us ordinary people and lower Liba people. He said that the food we provided was useless and that we cultivated the fields in the fields. It was because we could only turn firewood into firewood and burn it into a fire. A little bit of effect. But Taoist priest, is human life really so worthless? "
Xiao Changcheng asked.
His expression was slightly painful and full of doubts. It was more like asking for help than seeking education.
Zuo Chen sat on the donkey and pondered for a few seconds:
"A Taoist should get rid of the dust, but he should also obey others.
"Moreover, I used to live in a pretty good place, where human life was very precious. If God caused disaster, I would resist God with my own hands. If there was an emperor who harmed the world, I would use swords and guns to drive him down."
If God causes disaster, resist God with both hands...
Xiao Changcheng felt a little shocked when he heard these words.
Since he was born, his family has taught him to respect the royal family, guard the family business, and be honest and responsible for the rest of his life. He is not so ambitious that he can compete with the world, and he does not have the courage to deal with the feudal king.
But after listening to Zuo Chen's words, Xiao Changcheng felt as if something was loose in his heart.
Seeing him thinking, Zuo Chen didn't say much, just hoping that he could figure it out on his own.
The donkey cart continued to move forward slowly. Another half day passed, but Xiao Changcheng still didn’t seem to understand.
On the other hand, other people in the car finally saw other scenery on the horizon besides the wasteland.
"Master Dao, the town is ahead."
Xiao Changcheng stretched out his hand and pointed forward. Zuo Chen looked over there in the direction of his finger. What caught his eye was not the house, but the A mountain connected end to end.
Changshan Town is built on the mountain and is very large. The entire town draws a long line from the east end of the mountain to the west end of the mountain.
The east side of this town is connected to Xuzhou City, and the west side can go outside the customs. Before disasters, caravans often come and go here with horses and trucks.
They will pull out the best cloth from Xuzhou City, go to Qingzhou and replace it with handfuls of good rice and fish before coming back.
The journey is long, and travelers need to find a place to rest. Street stalls are likely to encounter illegal shops, but the town is more peaceful. Over time, Changshan Town has developed, and it is relatively wealthy.
King Kang's management was casual, so Changshan Town was assigned a respectable official. Otherwise, the whole town continued to build high walls, and it was not impossible to transform Changshan Town into Changshan City.
And precisely because Changshan Town was wealthy, he was able to leave more people behind after the disaster.
"My home is in the west, close to the foot of the mountain. I think I have to follow the gate and cross Changshan Town. I drive there first. I happen to see a few of my fellow villagers. I hope Dao Ye will do it by then. I can share some food, and after the villagers have eaten, I will lead them to find Master Shanxin."
Sighing slightly, he added: "It's a pity that the land is so barren, and the persimmon tree in my backyard is. It’s all gone, otherwise I have to let Mr. Dao have a taste. It’s really huge, sweet and sour.”
Xiao Changcheng finally showed a smile on his tense face. The depressed and confused mood before was finally relieved.
For now, put aside those difficult life events and think about the folks.
When Master Tao comes, the townspeople will be saved!
Now that Master Tao is here, the townspeople will have food to eat!
The joy in his heart dissipated his anxiety, and Xiao Changcheng also gathered beside the car, looking at the town in front of him with joy.
When the donkey cart entered the town, both sides of the town seemed desolate.
The town looked drab and gray. The door of the nearby house was open. I looked inside, but I couldn't see anyone.
Only the yard, firewood room, and the innermost inner room can be seen, all covered with dust, as if no one has lived here for a long time.
"Is there anyone?"
Xiao Changcheng looked around, but couldn't see any of the villagers he was familiar with, and felt a little panicked.
He remembered that when he came out, there were still many people in the town. Although everyone was too hungry to move, there were still people standing on both sides of the street, watching the four of them leave.
Now there is no sign of anyone.
Is Chengdu starving to death? !
Xiao Changcheng thought of his mother, so he walked close to the donkey and said:
"Master Donkey, Master Donkey, please hurry up and go due west. My home is over there. , I want to go back to see my mother!”
Donkey snorted, as if he was dissatisfied with Xiao Changcheng pointing at him, but he still quickened his pace.
Okay, a smell suddenly came from the air halfway down the street. Xiao Changcheng sniffed carefully and felt that someone was stewing meat soup.
He was overjoyed:
"There are still living people! They have found something to eat!"
Zuo Chen also twitched his nose and smelled it, and his brows suddenly furrowed tightly.
Before he had time to talk to Xiao Changcheng, the young man had already got out of the car and walked in the direction of the scent.
Before he had even taken two steps, several black figures jumped out from the side alley and slashed towards his neck with a knife.
Zuo Chen flicked his fingers and a few of them flew away. The remaining two came around the carriage. Caiyi also let out a laugh, jumped up and kicked them away.
After a round of repelling, Xiao Changcheng finally saw the surrounding scene clearly.
Those are indeed the folks in the town.
But their eyes were bright red, like wild beasts.
