In addition to Li Qingjun, the awakened people from other countries probably also received secret orders, and looked at each other with a little more vigilance and even murderous intent.
"Ah."
Li Qingjun sneered secretly, approached Yan Chixia, and lowered his voice: "You and I are ordered to explore the secret of eternal life. If necessary, extraordinary means are allowed."
"Um?"
Yan Chixia's pupils trembled, and she glanced upward calmly:
"Is someone tempted?"
The moment the stone pillar saw the light of day again, he knew that there was a 100% chance that someone would fall in love with it, and it had nothing to do with it. Life was precious, and an ant could still live in vain, let alone a human being.
"Aren't you tempted?"
Li Qingjun asked rhetorically.
Yan Chixia shook her head. It would be a lie to say that she was not tempted, but he was very rational. In his previous life, he lived in an era where people were deceived by evil words. He was much more self-possessed than ordinary monks.
"But please rest assured, fellow Taoist Li, that I am only on this trip to seek peace for the common people. I will leave immediately when the trouble comes. Whatever you think and do, fellow Taoist, has nothing to do with me."
This counts as a statement.
As both the top experts of a certain era, he knew Li Qingjun somewhat.
It is true that the Taishang Immortal Sect is a well-known and upright sect, but the so-called righteous way, the only difference between her and the demonic way that is criticized by the world is that the former does not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Of course, blocking her way is not considered innocent.
Li Qingjun took a deep look at him and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, you are serious. Putting aside everything in the past life, you and I are colleagues in this life. How can I not believe you?"
During the conversation, she quietly took back the short blade hidden in her sleeve and put it back into the Sumeru Ring.
There are only two people in this world that she can't touch. One is Yi Qinglan, who treats her like a daughter and is as kind as a mountain to her. The other is Chen Yi, who has a high probability of becoming her... master?
The most important thing is that she can't beat him!
Give up here.
The two concentrated on cleaning up the remaining sea beasts, and occasionally rushed to the aid of awakened people from other countries.
What will happen after discovering the secret of immortality is not yet settled. At least for now, they are still united. After all, this ruin cannot be left to its own devices.
Selfishness is human nature, and protecting the country and the people is also the original intention. Now the share is more, and in the future when Shenyu recovers, the pressure they will bear will be less.
…
About three days later, as the last sea beast looked up to the sky and screamed, it suddenly fell to the ground.
The corpses piled up in the dark alleys indicate that this sudden war will finally end with a tragic victory for the human side, or in other words, there will be no winner and both sides will suffer.
The sea beasts that started the war, their heads missing, and the humans who were forced to face the enemy died in a foreign land. Most of their relatives and family members will become orphans and widows.
Can.
War is like this, a game between the upper class capital and the suffering of the people at the bottom.
The survivors supported each other and stood at the end of the road, looking back silently: As soon as they entered the ruins, they were crushed and sunk in the sand, and their moods changed more or less.
Notice the depression spreading among the crowd.
Li Qingjun said calmly: "Brace yourself, they died in the battle, our battle is not over yet, you don't want your compatriots to die in vain, right?"
Yudu.
Xingyan looked around and said loudly: "I know that you are all coveting the stone Buddha and the secret of eternal life. I don't care about that. I have only one request."
"Next, I hope you can put away your petty thoughts, work wholeheartedly, and work together to replace them and complete the mission they failed to complete."
The implication is very clear.
Don’t forget your original intention.
Our primary task here is to remove obstacles that endanger social stability for the country and the people. This is a public matter.
Do your business seriously.
Everyone competes for the secret of eternal life based on their abilities. Even if you die, you can only blame yourself for your bad fate, not others.
But if anyone dares to abandon public service for personal reasons, I will twist off his head and let him sleep in this tomb forever!
