Changes in the World and Chaos Birth Chapter 39: Heavy Fog
"Master, do you think their mission will be the same as ours?"
Kongyin asked.
"I don't know either, but I don't think they will encounter any easy tasks to complete. They should be similar to us!"
Fenghong's face was calm.
"Then...are they really...willing to cut off their own hands?"
"Yes. Compared to living, a hand is nothing."
"Then...will they chop off other people's hands?"
Kongyin asked worriedly, feeling a little scared when he thought of them killing each other.
"Maybe... yes."
After Fenghong finished speaking, she lowered her head helplessly. This was the last thing she wanted to see, but what could she do?
"I think those with good martial arts among them will definitely do this. If they lose their hands or something and become disabled, how can they become immortals? Even living will be very painful." Chu Shu said.
"Oh, I hope Shen Lun can stop them. After all, Shen Lun has the best kung fu."
…
Yizhou Underground Palace.
There were bursts of black smoke coming out of a huge furnace.
Liang Guoquan kept pouring matte grass seeds into it.
"Is this refining something?" Yi Jing asked Liang Guoquan.
Looking at Liang Guoquan's extremely ugly face, Yi Jing felt a little nauseous and turned her head away, pretending to look at those monsters.
It seemed that these monsters were also disgusting, so Yi Jing could only turn his head and look at the tied people on the ground.
"Your Majesty, what do you think...we are going to do?" Liang Guoquan put his hands behind his back, with a cold and arrogant look on his face.
"Making poison?" Yi Jing asked doubtfully.
If you want revenge, you must harm someone. Is it possible that you can also refine elixirs?
"Almost, you'll find out in the evening, haha..." Liang Guoquan laughed loudly, as if he had a chance of winning their plan.
"Then I..."
Liang Guoquan's face darkened and he raised his hand to interrupt: "The elixir you want will be given to you tonight, don't be anxious! We will do what we say."
"By the way, tell your family and friends not to go out tonight!" Liang Guoquan said with a sinister smile: "I don't want to hurt your family and friends. You are a great hero anyway."
Yi Jing's heart tightened when he heard this. Could it be that he was going to... massacre the city?
Hearing this means that he is going to attack everyone in the city indiscriminately. He tells his family not to go out. Isn't it because he is afraid of hurting his family?
Could it have something to do with this recruitment of immortals?
"The exam for recruiting immortals will be held soon. If those two immortals know your intentions, then..." Yi Jing asked tentatively.
Xuanyuan and Ruoshui are still in Yizhou City. Do they have no scruples at all?
"Hahahaha... Prince Yi doesn't have to worry."
Seeing Liang Guoquan laughing wantonly, Yi Jing felt something bad. She didn't know what she had done for them unintentionally, and who was behind them. Even the gods didn't take it seriously.
…
Yizhou City Prefect's Mansion.
"What you said...is it true?"
Li Qiang, the governor of Yizhou, frowned and looked at a girl kneeling below.
"Everything I said is true. Please make the decision for me, Master Taishou!"
The girl finished speaking with a tearful tone and kowtowed again.
"You said it was County Magistrate Lin who kidnapped your family in the middle of the night. Do you have any evidence?" Li Qiang sighed: "If I only had your words, I wouldn't be able to hold him accountable. He is a ninth-grade official."
Originally, the kidnapping case in a small town was not under the jurisdiction of the prefect, nor was it the prefect's turn to take charge of it. It was handled by the county magistrate. But now the kidnapping case this girl mentioned was not an ordinary case. She accused Magistrate Lin of being the mastermind of the kidnapping case.
This matter has to be judged by the prefect. In Li Qiang's view, although Magistrate Lin is not a good person and has done many things to oppress the people, this kidnapping of people is really unreasonable!
It is true that County Magistrate Lin is a greedy and lustful person, but he has never heard of kidnapping people. He also kidnapped a whole family. What was the purpose of kidnapping people?
For money? It’s not like kidnapping poor people for money; for sex? But he kidnapped a whole family, and the youngest woman is still there!
"Prefect Mingjian, my daughter was in the woodshed at the time and could see clearly... that was County Magistrate Lin. My daughter would never hear his voice wrong."
The girl's voice was hoarse, but she still spoke loudly, sounding very miserable.
"Wang Meixiang, what are you doing in the woodshed in the middle of the night?"
"That day... I was chatting with Fenghong and Chu Shutong from the same village. They were discussing the Immortal Recruitment Examination. I was also interested and talked a few more words, which delayed the chopping of firewood. In addition, my mother was extremely opposed to the Immortal Recruitment Examination.
It was completely impossible, so my mother made me sleep in the woodshed at night."
Speaking of this, the girl's voice gradually weakened and she lowered her head.
"Just because you were delayed chopping firewood and chatting with others for a while, your mother let you sleep in the woodshed?" Li Qiang looked at Wang Meixiang suspiciously: "Why?"
"Because...because my mother doesn't like me, she only likes my...brother."
Li Qiang lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded. He knew something about the preference for boys over girls in the village.
"Why did County Magistrate Lin kidnap your whole family?" Li Qiang asked doubtfully: "Magistrate Lin did this for neither money nor sex. It makes absolutely no sense for him to do this!"
"My little girl doesn't know either. That night I seemed to hear them saying that no one would be left alive and they would all be taken away."
Wang Meixiang's family also owed money to County Magistrate Lin before, but it was later repaid by Xuanyuan. Moreover, they were not the only ones who owed money to County Magistrate Lin's family. Their family did not owe the most money, and she really couldn't think of anything.
The reason, I don’t know why.
"Have you ever offended anyone else in your family?" Li Qiang frowned and looked confused.
"No!" Wang Meixiang said helplessly: "Our family is from a poor family. My mother has offended many people in the village, but they still have no ill intentions towards my father, let alone kidnap my whole family. They won't
You may do it, but you may not dare to do it.”
"Okay, I get it."
Li Qiang waved his hand, indicating that she could retreat.
"Please also ask the eunuch to make the decision for the women of the people!"
Li Qiang suddenly lost his hair. Magistrate Lin had done many evil things. He had known for a long time about robbing civilian girls, and he wanted to deal with it. However, the Magistrate of Lin County was the brother-in-law of Wang Yijing of Tai'an. He had to look at the owner to beat the dog, so there was nothing he could do.
Now we have no choice but to continue to turn a blind eye. Anyway, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Magistrate Lin did it.
"Don't worry, I will send someone to investigate. If it is true as you said, I will punish you severely."
After Li Qiang finished speaking, he waved his hand again.
…
Fenghong and Kongyin were waiting anxiously at the place where they had cleared the second level of the treasure hunt, when they heard a "boom".
As soon as the two raised their heads, they saw Shen Lun and the beggar being pushed in. They staggered and almost fell. Chu Shutong quickly stepped forward to support the two.
"Are you okay?"
Fenghong asked eagerly, while looking at Shen Lun's whole body: "What is your mission?"
At the same time, she also saw that there were no wounds on their bodies, which meant that they had lost nothing.
Seeing Feng Hong's confused eyes, Shen Lun said calmly, "Our task is to hand over two arms."
"That you……"
"We handed it over." The beggar showed a wry smile: "Looking at our arms, do you think we don't believe it? If we didn't hand it over, would we still be alive?"
"Then you..." Chu Shu and Monk Zhang Er were confused and even more confused.
"What I handed over was the arm of the man in sackcloth." The beggar said with a solemn face: "If we don't hand it over, we will all die. He is already dead anyway. Using his arm to complete the task can be considered as making the best use of it. He also died a well-deserved death. There was no wastage."
die."
Fenghong opened her mouth wide in surprise, she didn't expect it to be like this!
She turned to look at Shen Lun, who nodded in affirmation to her.
"In this way... it's good. The dead have made contributions to the living, so that the living can live a better life. This can be regarded as a kind of karmic virtue." Chu Shutong said in a low voice.
"If I...can get out alive, I will erect a monument for him and burn paper for him every year," the beggar said.
"Then other people will definitely follow suit. In this case, that person's body will definitely not be intact."
Fenghong said worriedly that the man in sackcloth was very painful when he died, and he would be quartered after death.
"This kind of mission is too bloody. I really don't know who is behind this and what do they want to do?" Shen Lun frowned.
"Alas!" Fenghong sighed: "If it weren't for recruiting immortals, we wouldn't be here. Many people are traveling far away for the first time. Some people have not experienced life and death, but now they haven't even gone up the mountain...
…”
"Sister, don't be sad, I will protect you." Yin Yao looked at Feng Hong and comforted her.
"I'm not worried about myself, I'm afraid...that so many people will die here without any reason, how sad their parents, brothers and sisters must be!"
"But what can we do?" The beggar said expressionlessly, "This world is like this at all times. In many cases, we have no choice at all."
"What I'm worried about is, if the body of the man in sackcloth is cut up, what will happen to the remaining people?" Shen Lun said solemnly.
Yes, the body of the man in sackcloth will have to be divided up at some point. If he still has to hand over his hands and arms at that time, what will the remaining people do?
Should we share this task and become disabled together? Or should one take it from the other by force? Or should they both take it from the remaining people together?
If the first situation is okay, if the latter two...
Just when several people were worried, there was another "boom".
Lin Rou and Ling Guofeng were pushed in.
Since no one came forward to help them, Lin Rou and Ling Guofeng both fell to the ground.
"Where is this?" Lin Rou hadn't gotten up yet, lying on the ground and looking around in confusion.
"This... I guess it's the third level!" Chu Shutong said.
"There's more!" Lin Rou got up and patted the dirt on her body: "If you don't get the treasure, it will be a big loss!"
"Sister Lin, this treasure hunt is too scary." Ling Guofeng's voice was trembling, and he had not yet recovered from the shock.
"What is your mission?"
The beggar looked at the two men and saw that they were both intact. He understood at that moment that the man in sackcloth must have had a few more pieces removed.
"We have two eyes." Lin Rou said expressionlessly.
"Then you..." Chu Shutong asked with his eyes widened.
Lin Rou glanced at the beggar: "I learned from him, otherwise would we have survived intact?"
"It was too scary just now." Ling Guofeng was still trembling all over, and repeated with a trembling voice.
"You said you are a grown man, why are you so cowardly?" Lin Rou looked at Ling Guofeng with a look of disappointment, "It's not like I dug out your eyes to scare you, but I took the eyes of a dead person.
, I have to take action!"
Shen Lun was stunned for a moment: "The girl is so... so brave."
He didn't expect that a girl would dare to do this, and she looked so weak and weak.
"Ah...hehe! There's nothing I can do! This loser can't even hold a knife!"
Lin Rou smiled awkwardly and put on Xiaojiabiyu's expression, trying to restore her ladylike image.
beggar:"???"
"I don't know what tasks the people behind will have?" Shen Lun sighed: "I hope the death of the Maid Man is enough to complete all the tasks! Don't let anyone die miserably."
