Chapter 2 Right and wrong are hard to tell apart(1/3)
Yanling City, the capital of Yanling County in the Dayue Kingdom, is a majestic city built along the banks of the Da Chi River. This city does not have a towering city wall. The entire city is centered on the military camp, and various houses are distributed in circles.
This is a typical pioneer camp, silently telling every visitor the difficulties that the pioneers had to face in establishing the city here.
However, Yanling County is now very peaceful. Because the border has been extended to the vicinity of Qingyang Mountain, when Qingyang Temple disciples go out to travel, the first stop is often in Yanling County. With this group of immortal cultivators with great supernatural powers,
With secret help, the ferocious monsters that invaded human society gradually disappeared without realizing it, and the former pioneer camp slowly became prosperous.
However, the disciples of Qingyang Temple are not cruel and easy-to-kill people. As long as they are not particularly violent monsters, they don't care about ordinary monsters at all - one person kills monsters and monsters eat people. This is the right principle of the cycle of heaven and earth. What they destroy is just
Just stop those monsters that kill people for fun or eat a lot.
Therefore, monsters are still often seen in Yanling County, and people are attacked and killed by monsters from time to time. But the people in Yanling County don't care - compared with various natural and man-made disasters, various diseases and bandits, every year
The ten or eight people eaten by monsters are nothing at all.
On the contrary, these harmless monsters that appear from time to time have become a unique scenery in Yanling County, attracting many curious people every year.
As time went by, people gradually figured out the patterns of the monsters' actions, and several special sightseeing projects were derived from this.
For example, take the famous "Monster Battle of Da Chijiang River".
At this moment, a huge red fish was fighting with another jet-black anaconda in the Da Chi River. The water was splashing and the current was turbulent. Thousands of people gathered near the river bank in Fucheng, watching the two fish intently.
A fierce battle between monsters.
Red fish and anaconda are both famous monsters in the Dachijiang River. They fight once every summer to compete for a spiritual water eye in the river, hoping to use it as a place to reproduce their offspring.
There are not a lot of red fish and anacondas, but the monsters are also intelligent and will not fight randomly, let alone sacrifice the entire family's strength to fight for the water eyes. They have similar battles like this every summer.
In a competition, both sides send strong men to fight one-on-one... Such battles often last for several days. Because the time is roughly fixed, it has become a famous local tourist project.
Both monsters are very large in stature. The red fish is slightly stubbier, about five or six feet long. The scales on its body are like flames burning on one side. The fins and tail of the fish are as sharp as knives, and the teeth in its mouth are even sharper.
It was a flash of cold light; the anaconda was about 13 to 14 feet tall. Although it was not poisonous, the power brought by its huge body was enough to pose a fatal threat.
They fought hard in the river, while people watched happily on the river bank. Many people were cheering for their favorite side, and some even opened a bet. The odds of red fish and anaconda were roughly equal.
After fighting for about half an hour, the two monsters became a little tired, so they stopped temporarily and retreated.
The battle for the water eye is a battle of endurance, and a short rest is for a longer battle.
While both parties were resting, several large boats sailed out from the port and headed towards the red fish and anaconda. On the big boats were supporters of the two monsters. They sailed the boat near the monsters and took the already
Prepared food is thrown into the water.
This is also an old rule. People in the county provide food to the monsters to ensure that the monsters compete here every year.
Red fish and anacondas never attack people on the Dachi River. On the contrary, they often rescue people who fall into the water and bring them to the shore. In return, people never hunt young red fish and anacondas, and even often give them to them.
Send food.
Humans and nature are not always hostile. Although the relationship between humans and monsters is very bad in many places in Kyushu, at least in the eyes of the people of Yanling County, who are regarded as barbarians, human beings and monsters are not always hostile.
Mutually beneficial coexistence is possible, and they have always done so.
After a while, the two demonic beasts who had eaten their fill regained their energy and started fighting, and the shouting on the river bank also became more intense, with each wave getting louder than the other.
This is one of the happiest moments in Yanling County every year, but the dignified governor of Yanling County has no room for happiness now.
Cold sweat continued to flow from his forehead and body, almost completely soaking his official uniform. His thin face was covered with sweat, slowly flowing down his eyebrows, nose and cheeks, and finally dropped to his chin.
But he didn't even dare to wipe it, he just looked at the young man in white who was sitting calmly in front of him with trembling eyes.
That was Yi Ti, the transfer chief of Yanling County who was supposed to have been killed and sunk into the Dachi River twenty-five years ago!
"Yi...Master Yi, you...you're not dead?"
"What do you think?" Yi Ti asked with a faint smile, "I was tied up hand and foot and stuffed into a sack with stones, and then I was beaten over the head with an iron rod until I couldn't move anymore.
I sank into the Da Chi River, do you think I am dead or not?"
The county governor is not young anymore, and he is considered a senior figure in the officialdom of the Dayue Kingdom. In the past twenty years, the officialdom of the Dayue Kingdom has gone through many ups and downs, but he has always occupied the position of the governor of Yanling County.
It can be said that it is a tumbler that remains standing.
But at this moment, this tumbler in Dai Viet's officialdom was about to collapse - his face became paler and paler, and his body trembled more and more violently. Especially when he noticed the faint black air lingering on Yi Ti's body, and noticed that Yi Ti
When there was no shadow under his feet, he was shaking even more violently.
Obviously, Yi Ti died twenty-five years ago. At this moment, his ghost is still lingering... or he has become a ghost, seeking his life!
"I really wasn't very clear about what happened back then!" He trembled for a long time and finally came up with some words to explain, "It was my butler's idea to teach you a lesson. I just ordered it at that time.
Boss, just leave this matter to him!"
In fact, Yi Ti had already used the Zhan Shang method to find out the general story of the incident, and now he just came to get some evidence. After hearing what he said, he took out a blank piece of paper.
This piece of paper was originally pure white, but as the Sheriff explained, writing began to appear on the paper - whatever the Sheriff said, words appeared on the paper, as if there was an invisible pen writing what he said.
Every sentence was recorded.
After the county guard, under his pressure, clearly explained a series of crimes such as corruption, bending the law, and murdering Yi Ti, Yi Ti nodded, flicked his fingers, and the white paper flew to the front of the county guard.
"Let's make a pledge."
The county guard looked at the white paper filled with his various crimes and thought about the consequences, and his fear of the evil ghost became a little weaker - if he was killed by the evil ghost one by one, he would die; but if all his crimes were exposed,
Isn’t it just death? Yanling City, the county seat of Yanling County in Dayue Kingdom, is a majestic city built along the banks of the Da Chi River.
This city does not have a towering city wall. The entire city is centered on the military camp, and various houses are distributed in circles. This is a typical pioneer camp, silently telling every visitor that the pioneers established the city here.
