In the next few days, Bai Feng and Murong Yan stayed in the Holy Land for food and accommodation, and rarely set foot outside the Holy Land. This was not because they were indulging in the joy of their wedding and forgot about business. It was precisely because of business that they had to cater to Dugu Qi's request, because the holy aunt was very unhappy about people from the Holy Land going outside for personal reasons.
Living in such a blessed land of harmony and happiness, the most indispensable thing for people in the Holy Land is peace. At the same time, what they hate the most is peace.
For young and energetic men and women, they are at the age where they love adventure. This is a rebellious emotion that tends to violate taboos. It is an impulse that Dugu Qi, who is already half dead, cannot understand.
And since Bai Feng arrived, the girls in the Holy Land could no longer contain their enthusiasm.
From under the sacred tree to the altar, from their respective residences to a certain grassland... As long as the four sisters Ruyun, Ruyue, Xiao Caiqi and Xiao Linzi can see Bai Feng and Murong Yan in these places, they will immediately chatter endlessly. They entangled themselves and asked them to continue telling the legendary stories they had experienced.
Facing these lovely girls who are about fourteen or fifteen years old and exude a youthful and bright atmosphere, Bai Feng and Murong Yan are like elder brothers like father and elder sister like mother. They verbally compile their past experiences into educational stories. Yule's fables.
In storytelling, Bai Feng and Murong Yan never state their stance at the beginning, but use vivid metaphors to guide the four younger generations to judge for themselves: Who is the good guy? Who are the bad guys? Who did something wrong? Who put down the butcher's knife? Who refuses to repent?
The four little girls have never been exposed to the outside world alone. They are real "innocents", and some of their opinions are naturally novel and weird, and they often make jokes in front of the beautiful couple.
Usually at these times, Shen Qiongzhi would hide and spy from a distance, never taking the initiative to join in. As if to show that she was different, she would often come to greet Bai Feng and Murong Yan in private, and even made insidious inquiries into Bai Feng's thoughts several times, forcing him to express his opinions and ask questions at every turn.
"Brother Feng, what do you think of our holy land?
"Do you still want to leave now?"
"Life in the Holy Land may not be as interesting as your old life, but aren't we just as happy?"
Bai Feng knew that she was loyal to Dugu Qi and did not dare to neglect, so she agreed repeatedly, claiming that she would take it as her own responsibility to protect the Holy Land and guide thousands of people.
After a few days of such a peaceful life, the day of the pilgrims' gathering soon arrived.
Before leaving, Bai Feng confessed to Shen Qiongzhi: "Are you still willing to stay here? Now that you are no longer a saint, you don't even have the right to leave the Holy Land. Who are you? Are you Duguqi's beloved daughter?" Or a servant of the Holy Land?”
"I don't know." Shen Qiongzhi replied, and immediately made an excuse to go to Murong Yan to ask about the meeting, pretending to be indifferent to these issues related to her future.
After a while, the two sisters Ruyun Ruyue sent Murong Yan out of the holy place, dressed in full dress. Xiao Caiqi and Xiao Linzi followed them. The five of them got on the float, with Bai Feng riding in front alone to clear the way. Shen Qiongzhi was left in the Holy Land by Dugu Qi because she had lost her qualifications as a saint.
But I saw the young swordsman holding a sword close to his body, wearing a gray robe and hunting, leading more than a dozen guards to clear the way forward. These soldiers were his enemies a few days ago, but now they have a close relationship.
Bai Feng was quite skillful in directing the soldiers where to explore the road and where to rear. However, after a while, everyone discovered that this young man seemed to have real experience in leading troops in combat.
The Holy Land and the Sacred Tree are adjacent to the foot of Yinshan Mountain and are some distance away from Wuchuan Town. Unless there is an accident, it will take at least half a day to get there. What's more, there are often people here who covet the beauty and wealth of the Saint. Jian diameter.
After a while, the soldiers who had gone to explore the road came to report and said: "There is a group of refugees gathering in front of us, about a hundred people. Lord Holy Lord, we'd better take a detour! If something happens, we can I can’t bear it.”
"A detour?" Bai Feng looked up at the sky and realized that he had already set out for nearly half a day, but the distance he had traveled was much less than expected, so he replied: "No! Do you want the Holy Lady to sleep outdoors all night? ? Time is tight, we just need to pass by as soon as possible."
"But...but!" Before he finished speaking, Bai Feng shouted sternly: "Stop talking nonsense, go quickly and call back everyone who is exploring the road and those behind you, and then when you pass by the refugee camp, remember to Line up in order, hold your weapons high, and pray together for the Holy Lady’s first trip!”
"As you command!"
After finishing speaking, when all the soldiers returned to the team, the convoy from the Holy Land set off again. After walking ten miles, they saw a tragic image of someone who had died of hunger for thousands of miles.
Dozens of tents made only of rotten wooden sticks and shabby linen were densely distributed on both sides of the avenue. Men and women, old and young, were all begging, crying, arguing, and cursing.
Some people died of illness on the roadside, their bodies already covered with flies, and the stench could be smelled for miles; some people were so hungry that they openly sold their children to others, usually for a few copper coins or a meal. A deal was reached; the helpless woman could only sell her body at a low price and live with others without dignity in that leaky home in exchange for food and clothing.
Most people sit numbly in their "homes" and watch whether wealthy businessmen pass by on the road. Once they find the target, groups of stinking people will surge up and burst out of their thin bodies. A power that is absolutely impossible to find.
"somebody is coming?"
"Is it a carriage?"
"Hurry up, don't let them get there first!"
The former farmers took out their farm tools, the former woodcutter took out an axe, the former butcher took out a butcher's knife... They quickly gathered and blocked the road in the middle.
Seeing this, Bai Feng decisively drew out her long sword, looked up to the sky and shouted: "The saint has come to create all things!"
After hearing this, the soldiers under his command immediately started to walk in neat steps, and at the same time, they raised their uniformed spears high and said in unison: "The saint has come to create all things!"
They walked and shouted all the way, but just a dozen people created an extremely sacred and noble travel standard. Bai Feng took the opportunity to walk to the float and said to Dugu Qi: "Holy aunt, please ask the girls to bring out all the food and drink. Yan'er, what happens next is up to you."
The people who came to rob the road were immediately stunned when they saw such a grand motorcade. I saw the convoy suddenly stopped in front of the refugee camp. A woman in grand clothes walked on the roof of the car and greeted: "Poor people, you need food, just come forward, I will do my best." Help you."
The four sisters in the car then carried the food used for sacrifices at the rally out of the car and distributed it to each person. Obviously, the food was not enough to feed a hundred people.
Upon seeing this, Murong Yan immediately made bold words and said: "Everyone who is still hungry, you can follow the convoy into the city. Today is the day of our public meeting, and all the good men and women nearby will come to participate..."
Hearing this, the man who had just been holding a hoe, axe, and butcher knife immediately became soft-hearted. When the motorcade set off, a group of believers followed voluntarily.
The young swordsman led the way with high spirits, and the soldiers under his command all lamented that this journey was thrilling, because they knew that the people they couldn't afford to offend the most were the hungry people, but Bai Feng could be so confident, which was really impressive.
The sisters who witnessed everything in the float were even more surprised. They enjoyed the sense of crisis that they had rarely seen in their lives before and the sense of accomplishment when they overcame the crisis. They kept chattering about Bai Feng along the way, and it seemed that there was something more. Fun things to do to pass the time.
