"Apprenticeship?"
Lin Ji paused for a moment, then saw the little Taoist boy with a stern look on his face and said: "Thirty-three Heavenly Realms, there are many entrances. In the human world, Yujing Mountain, you are walking like a flying fairy! Although you are lucky enough to enter, you are still far from blessed! Where is my Yujing Mountain? I never accept incompetent people! I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible! Go!"
As he spoke, the little child waved his hand, and thousands of fallen leaves turned into colorful butterflies flying in the sky.
The place where the colorful butterfly landed was blurry.
The surrounding scenery immediately froze.
Then it was like a scroll thrown into a raging fire, instantly shattered into nothingness.
When he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him had changed drastically.
The long-stepped giant palace had long since disappeared, replaced by a winding mud path.
There are still dark clouds floating in the gray sky, and a pale fish-belly white light shines slightly at the end of the east. The sun that has just risen is only the size of an egg yolk. Under the struggling red light, a solitary section stands. Sections of broken tiles and broken walls.
The drizzle seemed to have not stopped for a moment, from midnight to dawn.
"This is……"
Lin Ji looked at it for a moment and recognized it immediately.
This is Qingyang County!
Although the city wall, which was not high in the first place, had long since collapsed, and the old city tower was in disrepair and no one knew where it was, but after all, he had lived here for many years, and the surrounding scenery was no longer familiar to him.
Back then, it was here that he fought desperately to block the hundreds of night ghosts heading towards Qingyang.
"So... I have left Qingzhou and escaped from the clutches of the Ghost Saint?"
"But where is Yujing Mountain? Why does it appear among the ghosts in Qingzhou? Even the ghost saints of the Half-Step Nine Realms dare not step in rashly? Those two children are not as simple as they appear. Send me thousands of miles away?"
Lin Ji was full of doubts, but for a moment he couldn't figure it out.
Bang bang...
At this moment, a series of messy and disorderly footsteps came from behind.
Lin Ji turned around and saw a group of ragged civilians more than a hundred feet away, carrying pickaxes and other items, walking forward with difficulty step by step.
Getting closer, I was surprised to find that the person at the head seemed familiar.
He is about 20 years old and his complexion is slightly dark.
On the slightly skinny body is a big round head...
"Isn't this Liang Touou?!"
Although time had passed and the boy who stole money had long since grown up, Lin Ji still recognized him from a distance.
At the same time, the crowd who came from afar also noticed what seemed to be a vague figure standing in front of them, and they all stopped in disorder.
It was still dark at this time, and a lone figure with white hair stood far outside the deserted city, which was indeed a bit scary.
"that……"
Liang Tou, who had changed his voice, suddenly had the courage to ask loudly: "Dare you ask whether that person or a ghost in front of you is a person or a ghost? We are all Qingyang people and we are about to repair our old place. Please help me!"
"Liang Tou!" Lin Ji said loudly, "Come forward and answer."
Liang's head was suddenly startled!
He remembered this voice deeply!
It's Lin Captou!
If Capt. Lin hadn't let him go on purpose, he would have been beaten to death long ago!
If Capt. Lin hadn't left some money, his mother would have passed away long ago!
If Captain Lin hadn't found him a job in the county government, how could he have survived until now?
"It turns out to be Lin..."
Liang Tou was inexplicably surprised. He was about to shout when he thought again: "The former Lin Baotou has been promoted step by step, and he is even the famous Lin Tianguan! He doesn't want to declare it in public, so he has other intentions!"
After thinking this, Liang Tou turned around and ordered everyone: "You all stay here and don't move. Listen to my orders."
"yes!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Liang."
…
Everyone responded, and Liang Tou took three steps at a time and rushed to Lin Ji. He muttered in a low voice: "Little man Liang An pays homage to Lin Tianguan!" He knelt down and kowtowed.
Lin Ji flicked his sleeves and said, "No need, what happened to Qingyang? But was he harmed by the demon king?"
How could Liang Tou dare to look directly at Lin Ji? He lowered his head deeply and hurriedly raised his hands and replied: "Back to Tianguan, when the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, there was indeed a big demon king who caused chaos in Liangzhou and swallowed countless people. But Qingyang was not harmed by it at that time. But later, the Great Qin Dynasty As soon as the rebels fell, the rebel army became king. A group of rogues in the county also raised the banner of rebellion, killed the county magistrate and government officials, and claimed the throne. Soon, the rebels from all over the world came to kill one after another. Poor Qingyang was not affected by the demon disaster, but was harmed by human beings. . In just a few months, the city suffered several changes, and all the people were killed. The young man led the remaining people to flee to the barren mountains outside the city."
"Not long ago, a large army under the banner of Tianguan passed by and quelled the bandits. Then someone sent a message asking us to rebuild Qingyang and build a Tianguan temple as soon as possible. Come. I didn’t dare to disobey, so I hurried back with the others. I didn’t expect that the Heavenly Eye would be reopened and I would meet the Heavenly Official again in this old place of Qingyang!”
"Taking my banner?" Lin Ji asked, "Who is the leader?"
"Uh..." Liang paused and said, "It is said... that the leader was originally a high-ranking official named Liu. I don't know the specific details."
"The surname is Liu?" Lin Ji thought to himself, "Could it be the Liu Chengru I met again when I broke out of the border that day?"
Lin Ji turned to look at the remains of a broken wall not far away, and asked with a sigh: "How many percent of Qingyang's old people are there?"
"There are more than 20,000 to 30,000 people, both old and young..." Liang Touou said sadly, "Only...one of the original ones!"
Lin Ji nodded slightly and clenched his hands secretly.
Although Qingyang is a small county, there are hundreds of thousands of original residents.
At the beginning, the Big Toad King was not harmed when he caused trouble in Liangzhou, but unexpectedly, most of them were destroyed by the rebels!
Man-made disasters are far worse than evil chaos!
This little Qingyang is like this, what about the nine states in the world?
When the Holy Emperor was still alive, the four words "Eternal Peace to the World" were written on the copper coins and jade seals.
The world is eternally safe...
The Nangong family fought tooth and nail to protect each other, and Mr. Lan was so arrogant that he fulfilled his wish!
But at this time, the world is full of injustice. How can all the people in the world be at peace?
Thinking of this, Lin Ji reached out and took out a square seal from his sleeve, shouting loudly: "Liang An listens!"
"ah?"
Liang's head was startled, and he suddenly thought of something. He knelt down in the mud with a snap and said respectfully: "I'm here!"
Lin Ji didn't pay much attention to his self-proclaimed words. He tore off a piece of green cloth with holes from his chest, bit his fingertips and used blood as ink to write quickly. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "See the decree is like the sky, Send an order to the world: Anyone who hurts the people and kills his life will be killed! Anyone who commits extravagant acts will be imprisoned by the king! The world is for the common good, and the livelihood of the people is the highest priority! But if anyone disobeys, ten thousand armies will attack him! Whoever commits a crime, no matter who commits it!"
Snapped!
The big seal turned over and landed on it.
The four golden characters "Eternal Peace to the World" were clearly displayed.
Lin Ji raised his hand and the green cloth and blood book fell straight on Liang Toutou's hands.
"My lord, I obey!" Liang nodded and replied.
For a moment, the light silk fabric in my hand seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds!
After a long time, there was no movement.
Only then did Liang Tou dare to slowly raise his head. When he looked again, there was no trace of the Heavenly Official?
call!
At this moment, a bright red sun broke through the clouds and illuminated the sky with majesty!
Billions of golden lights are spreading all over the world! The clouds suddenly dispersed and the sky became clear!
Its daybreak!
