Chapter 977 Fear and Prejudice
Looking at Long Jue's worried look, Ren Jie couldn't help but tease: "Oh~ I just went to visit and stay overnight, baby, don't think too much~"
"People always don't know how to cherish when they have it, and they only regret it when they lose it, don't you think so?"
The corner of Long Jue's mouth twitched, and then he smiled bitterly: "To be honest, when the Fool was still in Daxia, he also joined Baigui Yama, and the Night King even taught him for a while..."
"It's a pity that the result..."
Ren Jie was startled, was that why the Fool called Baige Yeshi?
Such a powerful fool was actually the disciple brought out by Baige himself?
Hiss~
Long Jue's expression was solemn: "As I said before, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Before making a decision, you must carefully consider it. Are you really ready?"
"The world we live in is not a fairy tale. Never underestimate the power of prejudice. Once a crack appears, it is difficult to heal. The higher a person stands, the harder he will fall when he falls..."
"No matter what choice you make, I will not stop you. You make your own decisions about your life!"
Ren Jie stared blankly at Long Jue, who looked serious, and then smiled brightly:
"There are cracks in everything... that's where the light gets in."
The two looked at each other for a long time, finally smiled at each other, and did not discuss the topic further.
"Oh, by the way, Daxia officials plan to build another Spark City in the new territory. After all, such a large piece of land cannot be wasted. It must be occupied quickly."
"That city is a border city. Its main function is to defend the border and fight against border conflicts with the Demonic Realm. Therefore, the military style will be stronger. When the time comes, I can set up a statue for you in the city. After all, that city is because of you. Come."
"Now that the name of the city has not been decided yet, the naming rights are handed over to you. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Ren Jie immediately rubbed his little hands together like flies, his eyes filled with excitement.
Although this is not a substantial reward, it does give you a sense of accomplishment?
"Standing near the abyss, stationed at the border, in front of you is the Heavenly Sword Abyss, with demonic clouds covering the sun, behind you are the lights of thousands of families, Chang'an in the Great Xia..."
"Just... call it 'Abyss City'!"
Long Jue grinned: "What a good name, let's call it this..."
After finishing speaking, Ren Jie did not stay in the office longer, but got up and left.
Long Jue, on the other hand, leaned on his office chair, lit a cigarette silently, and turned his head to look out the window at the thick night.
We are all old foxes. Long Jue knew very well what Baigui Yanluo wanted. Baige was getting older and wanted to find a successor to let Ren Jie ascend to the throne of Emperor Linye.
Originally...this position was supposed to be occupied by the Fool, but something happened.
Baige didn't have any extra time to wait any longer, Ren Jie...maybe this was his last choice.
Long Jue is not disgusted with this matter. On the contrary, if Ren Jie can really take over Baigui Yama, and Daxia and Baigui Yama are on the same front, the pressure on Tianmen Church will be much less.
This may be the beginning of Daxia's unity, but the actual situation is not that simple. It can be said that it is completely different from what was imagined.
Nowadays, Ren Jie is well-known throughout the Xia Dynasty, and his prestige is external. With his outstanding military exploits, he has become the blazing sun in the sky, getting rid of people's prejudice against his identity as a devil.
He is just an example and cannot be representative of all people with magic bonds.
Demonic disasters occur frequently, and everyone in Daxia has been affected and harmed by demonic disasters to one degree or another. People hate demons, are also afraid of them, and even hate those with the ability to become demons.
Demonic disasters will continue day by day, and as long as there is still the possibility of demon-contracted people becoming demons, prejudice will never be eliminated.
If Ren Jie becomes the Emperor of the Night, takes over Yama of the Hundred Ghosts, and becomes the spokesperson for all those with the Demon Contract, then there will be a stain on Ren Jie's scorching sun in people's hearts.
Maybe he can lead Baigui Yama to do something to win favor, or he can use his reputation to resist external pressure, but he can hold on without causing any trouble.
But I'm afraid that if something bad happens to Ren Jie in the future, the stain on him will be magnified.
Baigui Yama will be the straw that breaks the camel's back...
In the past, people could cheer and shout for Ren Jie and raise their hands in the air, but those raised hands could also be turned into targets and poke his spine.
A prodigal son will never be able to exchange for gold, but a saint will ruin his life with one mistake...
A wicked person who has done countless bad things will be forgiven by people if he does one good thing and turns around.
But if a saint who does good deeds all his life makes one mistake, he will be criticized and scolded by thousands of people.
Pretty fucked, right?
The world is so fucked up!
Human beings are such complex creatures. There are only a very small number of people who know right from wrong, and the majority are those who follow the herd.
Long Jue doesn't hate Baigui Yama. They could have betrayed the human race and went to the Dangtian Demon Realm to live freely, but they chose to stay in Daxia and suffered from this aggrievedness. It shows that they also have their own perseverance in their hearts.
But... in the eyes of most people, they are evil spirits, sources of danger, and dark quagmire...
The same thing has happened to the Fool once, and Long Jue doesn't want Ren Jie to be trapped in the quagmire...
But Long Jue also knew that Daxia needed a complete change!
"Child... go ahead and make a breakthrough. Being old-fashioned can't save Daxia, and you... are not a fool either..."
…
As soon as he left the office, Ren Jie saw a familiar figure again.
Sima Luyao, carrying a small book basket and wearing a ponytail, was waiting for him at the door again.
As soon as he saw Ren Jie, Sima Luyao showed a warm smile:
"I may have to delay you for another night. If it's convenient, we'd better go to the room..."
Ren Jie held his chest and took two steps back, twisting and saying: "Is this... so direct? I have a girlfriend. It would be bad if Xiao Li finds out..."
"Besides, this is the Demon Suppressing Division, and there are many people there. If the sound is too loud..."
Sima Luyao was stunned, tilted his head and thought for a long time, suddenly realized something, took two steps back quickly, his little hands were phantom, and his face was as red as a monkey's butt.
"Hug, hug...I'm sorry, no, no, no...that's not what I meant. Although I admire you very much, I have also thought...ah! No, no..."
"I didn't mean that. I came to you to record the history books. Because this Yuanzhi incident had a great impact, it even expanded the territory of the human race, and had an extremely far-reaching impact on history. It must be recorded in the history books, so I
talent…"
Ren Jie laughed heartily. He was just teasing Sima Luyao. He didn't expect her reaction to be so big.
"Hahaha~ I'm teasing you, let's go, hey~ I'm telling you, do you know the man who sews corpses? Don't look at his cool uncle look, he is crying at the bottom of the abyss with snot and tears.
of!"
"Huh? Really? Is this happening? This needs to be recorded in detail!"
At this moment, the spirit of gossip is burning in Sima Luyao's eyes. She likes her job very much, and one of the important reasons is because she can hear gossip.
