If it was just pretending to be a ghost, the people of Yanzhou would not believe it.
Everyone is not a fool, nor is it true that they have no knowledge at all. Under Ruan Shantao's many years of education, many people can read and write, and their horizons have been broadened. If it is just a little trick, it will not be able to deceive them—— However, the problem lies here. No one would have thought that the young monk would actually come here for real.
"Is this kind of thing... really something that humans can master?"
For a time, the refugees in the team had a lot of thoughts.
"Can I learn?"
"If you have the heart to worship God and the intention to follow the Tao, you can stay and practice these Taoist magic arts."
The smile on the young monk's face was gentle and sunny. When paired with the plain robe, he felt convincing just standing there.
What's more, the shadow of a golden-armored god stood beside this young monk.
"I want to learn!"
The refugees rushed towards the young monk one after another, scrambling to get ahead of him.
Even if the young monk has made it clear that he needs to contribute some rice rations for cultivation, people don't care about it - even for them as refugees, if they really take out that little ration, it may mean that they There was no way to move forward, but at this moment, facing the possibility of learning the magic of gods, and facing that golden-armored god, how could they endure it? How could you possibly endure it?
Perhaps only a few people like old man Yang Xuanyang, who have matured in old age, can remain rational under this level of temptation.
"If there's a problem, they must have a problem."
Yang Xuan on the cart frowned.
"If they really have some magical magic, they can just conjure food. Why do they need to harvest food? This group of people... wait, what are you going to do? You don't plan to follow suit, right? "
"I……"
After being stopped, Carpenter Li scratched his head in embarrassment. He wanted to learn, but after hearing what Old Man Yang said, he hesitated.
This made him turn his attention to others.
"I haven't moved anywhere."
After casually responding, Cui Yuan continued to lower his head to understand the art of swordsmanship.
He didn't bother to learn any other techniques besides the sword.
"I'm here to check the ledger at the grain truck."
Seeing his eyes glancing at him, Liu Bolun immediately raised the account book in his hand, and the two gatekeepers beside him who were originally guarding the gate of Ziyang Mountain also shook their heads.
An imperial student and two disciples of Ruan Shantao, although they were also very curious about the appearance of the golden-armored god, but with their vision and status, they did not bother to learn such sacred things.
As a result, everyone's eyes were focused on Du Chengfeng.
"I...try, I'll try."
In full view of everyone, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but smile awkwardly as he reached for the grain bag.
"Aren't you curious?"
"That's a lie! It's all fake!"
Pointing at the golden-armored god in the distance, Old Man Yang foamed at the mouth for a moment.
"That's fake! They want to lie to you! Although I don't know how they did it, but judging from the matter itself..."
"I know."
"……ah?"
Hearing Du Chengfeng's answer, Old Yang immediately choked on the cart.
what is this? You know it's a trap, but you still step on it?
"Just because I know it, I want to try it even more."
Du Chengfeng scratched his head. He didn't quite know how to deal with this kind of thing to an ordinary person like Old Man Yang.
This is indeed a cover-up for ordinary people, but for people like him who have already released evil spirits, they can clearly feel that the illusory golden armored god is clearly a special kind of evil energy. Application method.
And unlike Old Man Ruan's inexplicable but ridiculously strong poetry and book righteousness, this time Du Chengfeng could confirm that it was indeed the evil spirit of swords and weapons. Just like him wielding a big sword to create a fiery blade, or using an ancient ax to create a cold wind, these are all manifestations of the evil spirit being released.
It's just that this frightening sword aura, after being wrapped in a layer of golden illusory armor, doesn't look so scary, but instead looks majestic.
"That's about it."
Du Chengfeng spread his hands, wondering how much everyone could understand.
"It is a way of applying evil spirits, so I am going to learn about it... Wait, Lao Liu, what are you going to do? Are you going to follow me?"
"Did you just say that this was evil spirit?"
Liu Bolun's expression was very subtle.
"Then there's something very wrong with this matter... That boy said he wanted to teach immortal magic. Does he mean to tell ordinary people about things related to evil spirits? How dare he?"
"...Would you wait a moment?"
Listening to Liu Bolun's words, Du Chengfeng suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
What does it mean to tell ordinary people things related to evil spirits? Does it mean that ordinary people don’t know about this at all?
How can it be? It's obviously over there in Jibei...
"There's nothing we can do over there in Jibei. Everyone goes out with a knife, so even if they want to, they can't defend themselves against it."
Hearing Du Chengfeng's doubts, Liu Bolun couldn't help but shake his head.
"...No, brother, haven't you ever thought about it? If the general public knows that killing people can be infected with evil spirits and become powerful, what do you think the consequences will be?"
"this……"
Du Chengfeng couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
If the general public knows that killing people can be infected with evil spirits, they can become stronger... This can actually be seen from the time of Yanzhou City. Even with a powerful person like Ruan Shantao suppressing them, the people of Yanzhou who were given knives by knife sellers, after tasting the benefits of killing, would still choose to commit crimes at night and rob and kill passers-by on the street.
After all, there is heavy reality on one side and shortcuts visible to the naked eye on the other. Who can resist this temptation?
It doesn't matter even if this kind of temptation makes people crazy. After all, madness is something that happens in the future, but the gains brought by shortcuts are right in front of you.
"So there must be laws and order, and people must know that there is a serious price to pay for killing people."
Seeing that Du Chengfeng had understood, Liu Bolun nodded.
"As for those who have already killed people and are infected with evil spirits, we must kill them as a warning to others. Firstly, it is to comply with the saying that murder must be paid for life and convince everyone, and secondly, it is also to prevent them from continuing to commit crimes until it turns into It’s unbearable to say.”
"Um……"
This time, Du Chengfeng understood.
If you can't stick to your true heart and still have the evil spirit entering your body, you will become a murderous maniac. Even if you reach the point where the evil spirit is released, once your consciousness is scattered, you will be turned into a monster by the evil spirit on the spot - both situations mean that A major security incident, especially the latter, a monster that can strengthen itself by killing people, is simply a moving natural disaster.
"This is why the status of the predators responsible for public security in Dachen is even comparable to that of soldiers... Of course, it is different in Shanbei Road. Everyone there carries weapons, and it is a problem for the predators to enforce the law. They We can’t catch everyone.”
At this point, Liu Bolun's voice paused.
"But it's different starting from Shannan Road. The predators here are more ferocious than the soldiers. Brother, please be careful and don't open and shut your mouth again and say that you are a rebel."
"What do you mean I'm a rebel? How could you taint my innocence out of thin air?"
Du Chengfeng immediately argued with reason.
"You have also seen that Governor Qi Jinshan clearly died in a fierce battle. What does this have to do with me?"
"you……"
Liu Bolun was immediately stunned by Du Chengfeng's shamelessness.
But this is indeed what happened. At that time, there were only three of them involved in the underground arsenal in Yanzhou. Now Qi Jinshan is dead, and he is a fugitive official with a gold and seal, and it is impossible to show up directly. This directly leads to the current As long as Du Chengfeng didn't say it himself, no one would know that he was a rebel.
"Anyway, be careful. You can't hide this for too long. When the imperial army arrives at the front line, they will find out sooner or later that you did it."
"That's not possible. I have already cremated Governor Qi's body, but it's a pity that the ashes are still in the city and haven't been brought out... Hey, the prairie people are so cruel!"
Du Chengfeng shook his head repeatedly, making the grassland army generals on the side have their eyes twitching.
As a surrendered prisoner, he saw with his own eyes what the so-called cremation was like. If burning the body to ashes with a knife can be considered cremation... How did this happen to the prairie people?
It's amazing, it's amazing, this shameless energy is exactly the same as the leaders of those tribes!
Such people are born to be leaders! These surrendering troops are following the right people!
"Forget it, let's get down to business."
Seeing that the topic became more and more biased, Liu Bolun couldn't help but shook his head.
"Anyway, there must be something wrong with this mountain temple. Trying to expose ordinary people to evil spirits. What do they want to do? They are going against the government and the court. I think we should go to the county government immediately... Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything. .”
Just after he said the words, Liu Bolun remembered that if he really wanted to report it, he might not be the first one to go in first.
What's more, if this mountain temple is engaged in such a big battle, is the Yiyang County Government really blind?
As an outsider, it is important to learn to do as the locals do. If this tacit understanding is to be broken, it will not look good on everyone's faces.
"Hey, this Da Chen..."
With a sigh, Liu Bolun continued to go back to the cart to drink.
It's better to be drunk. After being drunk, people are more confused and don't have to think so much.
"So I'm going to study here, grab a few meals and save our food reserves."
Saying this, Du Chengfeng distributed some food.
"Is there another piece to go?"
"I!"
Seeing that Du Chengfeng was leaving, Carpenter Li simply raised his hand.
"Brother Du, count me in."
"I'll go down there too."
Cui Yuan, who had always been autistic, actually raised his head.
"Since Mr. Du feels that the method of this mountain temple has merit, I should also learn about it."
"I, I will go too..."
Liu Bolun, who had already downed half the bottle of wine, also raised his feet.
"You're all gone, so why should I stay? I don't care, I won't do this job anymore, I'm going to go too."
"I am coming too!"
The grassland army general Zhierhuo also stood up.
"I……"
"What are you going to do?"
Du Chengfeng immediately stared.
Everyone just went over to take a look out of curiosity. Why would a prairie man join in the fun?
"The little one has always been like a king...don't do anything! I'm telling the truth!"
Seeing that Du Chengfeng was about to take something out of his saddle bag, he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
The truth is more hurtful, that is, they prairie people are not suitable to stay alone in the team. It was okay when Du Chengfeng was there, and they still had an identity as surrendered soldiers, but if Du Chengfeng was not there... No matter whether the refugees take action against the surrendered soldiers or the surrendered soldiers take action to resist, there is no way to say goodbye to this kind of thing.
After all, we all left our homes and became refugees just to escape the soldiers of the grassland people. Who can really have a good impression of the grassland people?
"Then... just go up the mountain with me."
With a long sigh, Du Chengfeng waved to the two gatekeepers guarding the grain truck, and motioned them to divide the stipends that the more than 300 prairie soldiers had to pay and charge them to his account.
The prairie warriors headed by Zhierhuo also lowered their heads.
This may be why they are willing to follow the Fire Blade Warrior. A powerful leader may make them bow their heads, and a cunning leader may gain their recognition, but a leader who is willing to take care of their feelings...
It was their first time meeting.
"Then let's all go."
Seeing that everyone actually wanted to take a look, old man Yang Xuanyang also broke the pot.
"Anyway, I saw a lot of villagers and I was moved. Since I want to go, let's go together. But don't blame me for not reminding you, the people in this mountain temple really don't look like good people."
"That doesn't matter, we are not good people either."
Du Chengfeng couldn't help but laugh.
After asking the prairie warriors to remove their armor, Du Chengfeng led a group of people to find the young monk carrying the magic sword.
Seeing a group of fierce-looking men with swords on their waists walking towards them, the young men in the mountain temple suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy - it was the young monk who maintained order, so they did not run away in fear. .
"Why are you running? These are all righteous men who are escorting the people. If it weren't for them, would these people have been able to reach our Yiyang County safely?"
After scolding the young men for a few words, the young monks turned back and bowed their hands to Du Chengfeng and his group.
"People from the countryside don't have much knowledge, but they make you laugh...Why, do you also want to go into the mountains and learn the magical arts?"
"Indeed, it's really troublesome for this Immortal."
Saying this, Du Chengfeng waved his hand, and the folks from Yangjiabao pulled the grain truck over. This was their tuition.
After handing Shu Xiu over, the young monk also called for help and led the refugee team into the mountains. Du Chengfeng and his party also passed by the young monk under the guidance of the guide.
At this time, Du Chengfeng stretched out his hand and rubbed against the golden-armored god beside the young monk.
"Um?"
After just a moment, Du Chengfeng's eyes suddenly widened.
The feeling that fell into his hands just now was actually not an illusion.
The touch of the armor on the golden-armored god-man was actually the same as real steel.
The first update has arrived, and I feel that my daily routine is becoming more and more normal. In addition, I am planning to adjust my routine today, so the original evening update should be in the afternoon.
Also: Thank you all for your recommendation votes and monthly votes, and thank you for your encouragement and support.
