Chapter 57 A Completely Different Street
"The people on this street are so strange!
It’s completely different from the place we just visited.”
After Kan Yuxuan and Bai Qiu sat down, they expressed their feelings.
"Nothing different."
Bai Qiu denied it.
"Why do I feel like they are a little afraid of us?"
Kan Yuxuan lowered her voice and asked again.
"Probably because we are people from the Demon Palace, and because they are afraid of Chongyu, they will also be more or less afraid of other people in the palace."
Bai Qiu explained flexibly.
"When I was outside, I heard some rumors here, saying that there are monsters living here. They have never seen any of them with their own eyes, and they are already scared to death!"
While Kan Yuxuan was talking, the woman brought over two bowls of ordinary tofu curd. After putting down the tofu curd, she quickly stepped aside and sat with her child in the farthest corner of the stall from them.
She didn't expect that there were people in this city who would be scared to death when seeing others!
She originally thought that this city was just like a Caribbean island. Everyone on the island was a pirate. Everyone was the same and there were no differences.
"Why don't you believe those rumors?"
Bai Qiu asked a question that had been in his mind for a long time.
Even if mortals have never seen it, they would rather believe that it exists. For the safety of their own lives, they are absolutely unwilling to approach places that may be dangerous.
But why is Kan Yuxuan different? She knows there are tigers in the mountains, but she still prefers to go to the Tiger Mountains?
“Of course I don’t believe something I haven’t seen with my own eyes!
More than 80% of what is said by hearsay has been fabricated by others. People who like to tell stories love to tell stories full of bizarre and mysterious colors, so that their stories can be spread long and widely!
The truth of the matter will most likely be covered up by rumors, and you cannot determine the truth just by listening with your ears."
As Kan Yuxuan spoke, she scooped up the sugar from the jar on the table, sprinkled it into her bowl, then mixed it, and then said:
"Based on what I have seen and heard so far, I surmise that this city has a strange geographical location and is surrounded by snowy mountains. It cuts off communication with the outside world and gives others the opportunity to spread rumors."
Seeing this, Bai Qiu also scooped two spoons of sugar into his bowl and stirred it. Kan Yuxuan continued:
"I guess it was probably hundreds of years ago that a charlatan met someone who was lucky enough to go out from here, and learned that there was a city here, and that an unknown massacre happened to happen in the area where the city wall was broken, and then
He tied these two things together and fabricated his glorious deeds of slaying demons and rescuing people in distress, in order to enhance his status in the world and increase his wealth through deception!
I think those Taoist priests who spread rumors are just a fraud gang!"
Kan Yuxuan said angrily while eating.
"They are indeed a group of liars who seek wealth and murder, regardless of good or bad, and kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
Mentioning those Taoist priests, Bai Qiu also felt resentful.
"But, Bai Qiu, why can't outsiders enter this city, but you can get out?
Moreover, if it is so difficult to communicate with the outside world here, how can it still develop so prosperously? It’s not like an isolated backwater at all.”
Kan Yuxuan was very puzzled as to how they got out of the snowy mountains and went to the outside world to abduct and traffic women.
“This place was not prosperous before, but it is all thanks to Chongyu that it is prosperous now.
As for the snow mountain, it does not snow heavily all year round. The snow intensity will decrease from time to time, allowing a small number of strong people in this city (actually a small number of demons with high cultivation levels) to explore according to the methods of the predecessors.
Path, walk out of the snow-capped mountains, and barter outside (actually burning, killing and looting).
In order to improve efficiency and make the entire city rich, Chongyu will organize those people who can go out into a team. After going out, they will divide the work in a planned way, and then return to the city together after finishing the work."
When the Taoist priest set up the Snow Mountain Formation, he did not care about the mortals in the city, but only wanted to trap the monsters in the city. If it were not for Chongyu's management, there would have been no mortals in the city, and even the monsters would not eat humans.
, those mortals will sooner or later starve to death because they are trapped in the city!
Therefore, compared to Chongyu, Baiqiu felt that those Taoist priests were the main culprits in murdering human lives.
"oh."
As for what Bai Qiu mentioned, what Chongyu organized everyone to do, Kan Yuxuan understood it to be the abduction and trafficking of women, so after listening to it, she didn't have much emotion to attribute the city's prosperity to Chongyu.
