Chapter 531 The Conscience of the People(1/3)
Originally, for the sake of safety, everyone planned to keep the people from the Earth Territory in Loucheng until the Golden Territory was recovered and the war was completely settled before allowing the people from the Earth Territory to return to their hometowns.
But the people of Tuyu were not willing to stay in Loucheng.
They want to return to their homeland, to their hometown.
Although the crisis has not been completely resolved, they still have no intention of looking back.
If invaders from the Demon Realm and the Nether Realm come to the Earth Realm again, they will not escape and die in their hometown.
This is the thought of the vast majority of local people.
Because they are tired of the feeling of a group of people who have left their hometowns gathering together and feeling lifeless and hopeless.
When the thoughts and choices of the people in the Tu Territory came to the white-haired man, the white-haired man couldn't help but hesitate.
Forcing the people of the Tu Territory to stay in Loucheng can certainly protect the safety of the people of the Tu Territory, but it will cause certain damage to the spiritual world of the people of the Tu Territory.
But if the people of the Earth Territory are allowed to leave, once the invaders from the Demon Realm or the Nether Realm come back, the people of the Earth Territory will suffer countless sacrifices.
For a moment, the white-haired man didn't know whether he should make the decision he thought was right or let the people of the Tu Territory make their own decisions.
After much thought, the white-haired man decided to ask everyone for their opinions.
Without further ado, the white-haired man quickly invited everyone over.
After everyone gathered together, the white-haired man told everyone about this somewhat embarrassing matter.
He said helplessly: "Everyone, I really don't know what to do. I wonder if you have any good suggestions?"
When everyone heard what the white-haired man said, they couldn't help but look at each other.
The answer to this question is simply two.
These two answers cannot be said to be wrong, but they cannot be said to be completely right either.
Because we stand from different angles and have different pursuits, what is right and what is wrong will naturally be different.
What White-haired Old Man wants is that the people of the Earth Territory are safe and not harmed.
Therefore, letting the people from the Tu region stay in Loucheng is the best choice.
But what the people in Tuyu want is to return to their hometown and not to leave their hometown again.
In this case, the white-haired man's idea became wrong.
What they need to consider now is whether to take safety as the starting point and reject the request of the people from the Tuyu area to return to their hometown, or whether to agree to the request of the people from the Tuyu area and put down their protection.
Su Huanzhen sighed softly and said, "In fact, everyone's demands are not incomprehensible."
Feng Wuyi nodded slightly and said, "They just want to go home."
Home is a place of extraordinary significance to both ordinary people and monks.
If given a choice, no one would want to leave their homeland.
Just like they risk their lives to protect the fairy world, they are not protecting the home of all of them.
They are also a group of people who are unwilling to leave their homes.
Otherwise, they can abandon the fairy world and go to other small planes or the human world.
With their strength, they can live a good life no matter where they go.
Why bother always worrying about the fairy world?
Lin Jiannan pursed his lips and said, "Just let everything happen."
From Lin Jiannan's point of view, the reason why they forcibly left the Tuyu people behind was for the safety of the Tuyu people and for everyone's good.
But after all, this is only their own starting point, not the starting point of the people in Tuyu.
A twisted melon is not sweet.
Forcibly giving others what you think you care and help does not necessarily mean you really care and help others.
So it’s better to just let everything happen.
Those who are willing to stay can stay, and those who are not willing to stay can leave Loucheng and return to their hometown.
As members of the Human Alliance, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang would naturally not express any opinions on such matters.
Lu Yan also had the same idea.
But the white-haired man turned his attention to Lu Yan and asked proactively: "Mr. Lu, what do you think about this matter?"
When everyone heard the white-haired man's question to Lu Yan, they all turned to look at Lu Yan.
Facing everyone's gaze, Lu Yan said: "Since senior has asked this question, let me tell you my opinion."
The white-haired man said: "I am all ears."
Lu Yan pointed to the west of Loucheng and said: "Those people in the soil area can leave if they want, but please go to the cemetery to the west and take a look before letting them leave."
"The people buried there are all monks from the Earth Territory, warriors who sacrificed their lives to protect the Earth Territory."
"Let them touch their consciences and ask, will their consciences hurt if the sacrifices of these warriors are in vain and more warriors sacrifice themselves to protect them?"
When everyone heard Lu Yan's words, they couldn't help but turn their heads and look towards the west side of the building.
There is a dark red sandy land on the west side of the building.
The sand was originally khaki in color.
It is the blood of those warriors who sacrificed their lives to protect the soil that dyes this sandy land red.
Tombstones stand one after another on this sandy ground.
Each tombstone represents the life of a warrior.
At a glance, you can barely see the edges of the tombstones.
Later, when the Demon World invaders attacked the Earth Territory for the second time, those who died fighting against the Demon World invaders and those who sacrificed their lives to protect the people of the Earth Territory from retreating were also buried here.
This time the people from the Tu region left Loucheng and returned to their hometown.
Once the invaders from the demon world or the underworld invaders come back, they will inevitably send people to rescue these people from the earth realm who have returned to their hometowns and bring them to Loucheng.
As a result, there are bound to be casualties.
In this way, there will be more tombstones buried in the bloody sand on the west side of Loucheng!
Thinking of this, everyone suddenly realized that it was wrong to force the people from the Earth Territory to stay in Loucheng or just let it happen.
On the contrary, Lu Yan's proposal was the truly correct choice.
Let the people of the Earth Territory go see the warriors who sacrificed their lives to protect them.
If they still have a conscience, they will naturally know what to do.
If they still decide to leave, then if danger arises again, they can give up on such people. There is no need to sacrifice other people's lives for these ungrateful and selfish people!
Thinking of this, the white-haired man took a deep look at Lu Yan, stood up, bowed to Lu Yan, and said, "I've learned a lesson!"
…
Building city.
Hundreds of millions of people have packed their bags and are ready to return to their hometowns.
Everyone's face is filled with smiles.
Although the war is not over yet, at least the Earth Territory is safe for the time being.
They want to return to their hometown and live there again.
When they think of the beautiful life in the future, their faces can't help showing a look of anticipation.
Just when everyone was looking forward to a better life in the future, someone suddenly came from an order from the city lord's palace.
"The people of Tuyu can leave Loucheng and return to their hometown from now on, but before that, please go to the cemetery in the west of the city to pay homage to the warriors who sacrificed their lives to defend Tuyu!"
When the people of Tuyu who were about to leave Loucheng heard this sudden order, they were all stunned involuntarily.
Before leaving, go to the west of the city to pay homage to the warriors who died defending the territory?
When everyone faced this order, some were stunned, some were confused, and some had mixed emotions.
However, no matter what everyone thought, they had no intention of disobeying this order.
As the people of the Earth Territory, it was their duty to pay homage to the warriors who sacrificed their lives to protect the Earth Territory before leaving Loucheng.
Soon, everyone was heading towards the west of Loucheng one after another.
And as everyone left the city, the bloody sand in the west of the city was quickly filled with people.
Although ten years have passed since the time when he resisted the one-page book, the smell of blood on this bloody sand is still very strong.
Everyone stood on the bloody sand, looking at the endless tombstones, and their joyful moods because they were about to return home suddenly fell involuntarily.
In the silence, a young woman suddenly began to sob softly.
Seeing this, the people around him asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
The young woman whispered: "I thought of those warriors who sacrificed their lives in the hands of the demon invaders to protect our retreat. If it weren't for their protection, we would have died long ago."
