No matter what expectations all parties hold, the Three Cities Discussion is finally over.
The people of Maplewood City who were watching dispersed, still discussing happily. The performance of Maplewood City Taoist Academy this time is really not bad, they are nothing short of proud.
Most ordinary people living in this city have no idea what happened today.
The bloody battles that took place in the darkroom, the fights on the street corners, and the entanglements of life and death all passed silently. Like air annihilating in air.
The waves caused by the Bone Road were calmly eliminated, and not even a trace of blood could be seen on the street. The few civilians who accidentally witnessed the fighting were also given a silence order.
For most people, today is just a grand event with exciting programs in Maplewood City.
Transcendence is not immune to suffering, and ignorance is not necessarily bliss.
For Wei Quji, the seventeen skulls of Bone Dao monks piled in front of him, as well as more corpses that were not eligible to be collected, washed away his shame.
Wei Quji said to Dong A: "Today's great hatred has been repaid. Why don't we organize the Taoist disciples to recite the Taishang Sutra of Saving the Suffering several times together to save those who died in vain in Xiaolin Town."
As the lord of a city, he can finally pay tribute to Xiaolin Town under his rule.
Of course, this is not an embarrassing thing. As a commonly used salvation scripture, "The Sutra of the Supreme Being Saves the Suffering" is memorized by almost every Taoist monk.
But Dong'a's attitude was very cold: "What's the use of salvation when my soul is gone?"
Wei Quji only felt that this guy was simply unreasonable. He had just finished working together and didn't even have a good face. With this kind of character, it's no wonder he was kicked out of Zhuangdu in the first place.
…
When the monks from Sanshan City left, Jiang Wang made a special trip to see them off.
He has real admiration for Yang Xingyong, and also has great respect for the will shown by the Sanshancheng monks in this discussion.
Compared with the mighty team in Wangjiang City, the monks in Sanshan City seemed to be more and more alone.
If Dong A hadn't personally treated them, they wouldn't even have been able to return to the city at full strength - these people were fighting too hard.
Yang Xingyong was very happy that Jiang Wang could come to see him off: "I am convinced that I lost. You are very powerful. I will challenge you again next year!"
The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Wang hesitated, but still asked: "The Three Cities Discussion is not a major exam for the county college, so why are you working so hard?"
Yang Xingyong was silent.
"Sorry, if it's inappropriate, just pretend I didn't ask." Jiang Wang said sincerely.
"Because we... because of Sanshan City, it's difficult." Next to him, Sun Xiaoman, who had been looking down and silent, said.
"Three Mountain City has many mountains, many wild beasts, and many ferocious beasts. The wild beasts are okay, they are equivalent to food, but the ferocious beasts are very troublesome..."
Following Sun Xiaoman's narration, Jiang Wang roughly understood the predicament of Sanshan City.
The human race rose in ancient times, but before its rise, life was actually not easy.
Although it is now said that the human race is the spirit of all things, in fact, the human race generally has blocked Tao channels after birth, and only a very small number of geniuses can reveal their Tao channels and are born with the ability to practice.
But the monster beasts are all born with external Dao veins.
Later, a powerful person from the human race invented a prescription and made it public. This was the prelude to the rise of the human race.
The name of this powerful man has been lost in the long river of history, but his elixir recipe has been passed down forever.
This pill recipe is the original pulse-opening pill, and its main material is the path veins of monster beasts.
From now on, human beings no longer have to be limited by their talents, they can practice with the Pulse Opening Pill! This also means that an era of crazy hunting of monsters has begun.
Before practicing, Jiang Wang had always been puzzled by a question.
In such a turbulent era of spiritual practice, why has the human race still not been able to clear the wilderness with its strength? Why do all the countries in the world only keep official channels open, but allow wild beasts to come and go and monsters to run rampant in more areas?
Because these monsters are resources! In a sense, those monsters are free-range food. The wild animals and even the wilderness environment are only needed to maintain the free-range ecology.
After all, monsters that are favored by heaven and earth and whose natural Dao veins are manifest cannot be kept in captivity.
The ferocious beast is another kind of existence. They are generally very powerful in combat, but lacking in spirituality, and even their meat cannot be eaten. To put it simply, the destructive power of the ferocious beast is not much worse than that of the monster beast, but it is worthless in itself.
Hunting ferocious beasts is a matter of loss and no gain, but Sanshan City had to do it. This resulted in Sanshan City’s de facto long-term losses.
All strong players need resources, but Sanshan City's output always exceeds its income. What's even more frightening is that there are too many ferocious beasts in Sanshan City, and it's impossible to kill them all.
They destroy official roads, attack villages and towns, and eat humans.
The environment of Sanshan City determines that most of the food is transported from other places, and the local area cannot be self-sufficient at all. However, poor official channels have actually increased transportation risks.
Especially recently, Sanshan City Taoist Temple suffered heavy casualties at the hands of the Heart-Eating Demon, and Sanshan City was even more manpower tight.
The maintenance of official roads is a matter for Sanshan City. If you want to ask Zhuang Ting to deploy experts to clean up, you need to pay equivalent resources. As for Sanshan City, it has no spare resources at all.
Therefore, when the senior brother Chu Ping of the Sanshan City Taoist Academy died in the battle, the Sanshan City Taoist Academy still regarded this three-city discussion as a life-saving straw. They fought desperately in the martial arts arena, not for their own honor, but for the fellow villagers behind them in Sanshan City who were struggling to survive.
"Did you know? Every time we win a game, Sanshan City will be able to survive at least ten more people." Yang Xingyong's eyes were obviously red, and he lowered his head: "As long as we perform well..."
He felt guilty for his defeat, despite his best efforts.
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment.
He patted Yang Xingyong on the shoulder: "This time, I took advantage of being the first-year leader of the Three Cities Forum, and I deserved it. I will be rewarded with 50 points of Daoxun when I return to the Taoist Academy later. The palace will be transferred to you."
Fifty points of Daoxun is not a small amount. Although it cannot solve the problems of Sanshan City, it can be considered as a way to alleviate the urgent need.
To take a step back, for the Taoist disciples whose names are entered into the Taoist certificate, fifty points of Taoism is equivalent to half a pulse-opening pill, which is equivalent to half an extraordinary monk.
This is the strength that Sanshan City needs to supplement most now.
"How is this appropriate?" Yang Xingyong looked up in shock.
Sun Xiaoman had already punched Jiang Wang in the stomach, "We are determined to be your friend!"
She originally wanted to hit Jiang Wang's chest boldly, but unfortunately her height did not allow it.
Jumping up and hitting him hard would ruin the atmosphere, so he had no choice but to punch Jiang Wang in the stomach.
Jiang Wang felt a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat. If the Four Spirits Body Refining Technique hadn't been so powerful, he would have confessed right now.
This little girl has such terrifying punching power.
Of course, Jiang Wang knew that it wasn't the little girl who was so embarrassed. He could even see the poverty and unnaturalness hidden under her heroic smile.
She just wasn't willing to give up the help that the people of Sanshan City could get because of her shyness.
"So, goodbye."
"Goodbye!"
Seeing you off thousands of miles away, we must say goodbye in the end.
Jiang Wang stopped outside the city gate and watched his new friends leave.
…
"Sister, buy me a new dress." The fat little Sun smiled, wrapped in the big black robe with a hood, and walked in a discreet manner.
His original clothes were torn to pieces in the battle.
"No money."
"I can't just go home like this, can I? How many people have seen this long way! What if I'm gone?"
"So what if you see it? You are still a child."
