In the Nanping Kingdom, most of the places where the soundless and silent doors are located are pagoda-like palaces. They are tall and large, making them the tallest buildings in the city.
In the past, incense was prosperous here, and ordinary people came here to offer incense and pray for the sect's blessing.
But this time is different.
At the entrance of the main hall, many mortals gathered there. Although most of them were malnourished and skinny, they looked intimidating when gathered together.
"I know there is food here, let us go in!"
"I want to see the immortal, I want to see the immortal! You people, when the immortal is not around, hoard food to enrich yourself, you will be punished!!"
Those who resisted them were a group of soldiers and guards. At this time, they also gathered into a human wall, and the bright weapons blocked the gathered people.
"The food here is military supplies and is designated by the immortals. How dare you trespass?!"
The guard at the head had a ferocious look on his face.
"You fart! How could a voiceless and silent immortal do such a thing? Do you think we don't know about it? It's been two months and the immortal has not come out. It's obvious that the immortal is not here, so you are using the immortal's decree as an excuse!" Someone among the people roared angrily. .
The Voiceless and Silent Sect, in the hearts of most people in Nanping Kingdom, is the best sect.
They walk in the market, specializing in fighting injustices, doing chivalrous acts, hoeing the strong and helping the weak. Whenever mortals are in trouble, these silent gods will always fall from the sky and save them in the midst of fire and water.
But two months ago, the immortals from the Soundless Sect disappeared, so these guards used the name of war and immortals to expropriate food and buy and sell it by force, leaving the city with no food at all.
In the past, those rich families had to sell their property to eat mixed noodles, but ordinary people like them couldn't even eat mixed noodles. The mice and cockroaches that the family used to despise were now treasures, but even insects and mice , was eaten at the moment.
Those who had the idea and ability fled. It was said that there was a mouthful of food for them in the north, but it was not that easy to leave their hometown. Even if there were no monsters outside, there were many bandits. No matter how hard the city was, they could still save their lives.
Be it houses or children, those who are ruthless will sell everything. Letting your wife and daughters work as prostitutes to support the family is not useful when there is no food in the city. Even those who are extremely hungry might as well just sell them. They exchanged young children who had died of starvation with each other and used them as meat.
But now, there is really nothing left. Every door is closed. Even if they break in, they can't find a grain of food. They have no choice but to come here.
They dare not disobey the immortal's decree. If it were before, everyone would rather believe it or not. After all, the soundless and silent door is sacred.
But now, people are starving to death, and this god has not come out. They have every reason to suspect that these guards are doing things in their name!
"I'm not using my name as a pretense. It's really an immortal's order. I, Lao Zhao, don't dare to say anything good in the city, but I definitely abide by the rules. We have known each other for so many years. Do I need to lie to you?"
Seeing this group of people getting more and more restless, Captain Zhao panicked and held the knife in his hand tightly.
He is not a good person. More than ten years ago, the immortal named him as the guard captain, and he has been guarding the city until now. Unless there is an important matter, the immortals will not move. He is basically responsible for the chores in the city.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is below the immortals and above ten thousand people. The powerful power brings about any action he wants.
He had done everything from raping women to stealing, occupying shops, killing people and selling goods, but he swore to God that he would never do anything like what happened that day.
It's okay to kill one or two people. Immortals usually don't care about things, but to starve hundreds of thousands of people in the city, not to mention the immortals will care about it. Even if the immortals don't care, he wouldn't dare to do it even if he was given the courage to do so.
This order was really given by an immortal.
The people in the city are now fighting over a grain of rice, even though his men are starving to death, and some of them don't listen to him anymore and are robbing them everywhere on the street.
If it were him, he would have released the food a long time ago. With more than ten years of experience, the people can be bullied no matter what they want, but they must not make it difficult for the people to live. It will really cause hell on earth!
But he can't make the decision in this matter, he can't make the decision at all!
"I won't listen to you! You are the one who is hoarding food. You have ulterior motives. Everyone, rush over to me!"
The hungry mortals couldn't listen to this man's words at all. As one person roared, countless people rushed in with red eyes.
If they were rushed up, Captain Zhao could be beaten to death by these people. Between death for himself and death for others, of course he would choose the latter.
"Damn it, if you don't listen to me, I'll kill you!"
Captain Zhao felt fierce in his heart and slashed forward with his knife. With a hiss, one person was hit in the head by the knife and fell down bleeding profusely.
The guards behind him rushed forward with their swords and attacked among the people.
For a moment, noises, cries, and shouts of killing filled the sky.
In an open-air pavilion at the top of the pagoda, several figures were sitting around, surrounded by incense burners and green smoke.
The pavilion was surrounded by strange rocks and strange flowers, and a stream was created. A carp went downstream along the stream, and then suddenly jumped up.
In the banquet, one of them was lying there, holding a cigarette in his hand. The person next to him used a flint to light the cigarette holder, and then lit it for himself. Several people exhaled a puff of green smoke in a soothing manner, and with that Green smoke curled up, and several people looked intoxicated.
“It’s so noisy.”
The reclining man glanced down, frowning slightly as he watched the ants-like people fighting there.
"Mortals are short-sighted. If they don't make noise, they are not mortals. But there are some good ones. This longevity dew made by mortals is very good. If you eat it with the spirit of mortals, you can not only practice cultivation, but also float like a true immortal." There was a person next to him. Smiling cheerfully.
"exactly."
The reclining man smiled slightly, took another sip, lay there for a while with drunken eyes and blurred eyes, and said: "Taste carefully, the anger and sadness, the joy and sorrow, and now the murderous intention and murderous intention, the mortal spirit, match it." It looks good wearing this longevity dew."
Then, he sat up unsteadily, "But it's almost done. Let's go down and finish it, so as not to really drive the mortal to death."
"Haha, senior brother, mortals are like grass, so let's die. Aren't those guards taking the blame for us?" Another person laughed.
"What do you mean by taking the blame? We didn't do anything."
The man frowned and said calmly: "Mortals provide us with morale, and we protect their lives. This is the right thing to do. If the Quan Cai Sect wants to borrow the assets of mortals to practice, then let him do it. We can also do it Some mortals are inspired."
"But in normal times, I would not agree to this. This city belongs to my Soundless Sect. It is only because the war is urgent and the gap ahead is too big that I agreed to the request of the Quan Cai Zong. When this matter is settled, I will end it The rotation period is over and I’m going to the battlefield.”
