Volume 1: Abandoned Land Chapter 87: The Death of the Scholars
At the moment when the power of spiritual thought came into contact with the bloody demon flag, the weirdo who was looking for him suddenly turned around and seemed to have discovered something. A pair of purple eyes swept towards Kong Laosan unceremoniously. At the same time, a wave of
An extremely violent aura pressed down.
In Kong Laosan's perception, for a moment, the surrounding air suddenly stagnated, and a pressure that seemed to be substantial suddenly came down. Upon noticing this, Kong Laosan felt a chill in his heart, and without thinking, he flashed towards the outside of the city.
Escape quickly.
A full three hours later, when the sky was getting dark, Kong Laosan slowly stopped, but the look on his face was extremely gloomy. He turned back and glanced in the direction of Zhentian City, and then stopped stopping and continued towards Qiong.
The city flew away.
"Demon without borders? Monster clan creatures?!"
Kong Laosan kept chanting this name, with a hint of doubt in his voice. The demon flag in the strange man's hand was the same ghost flag that he had lost in the Ancient Demon Burial Forest, but he didn't know why it fell into the strange man's hands.
It's just that the weirdo didn't seem to notice the Miss Chen family in the Yinhun banner. At the moment when the power of spiritual thought came into contact with the banner, he learned a few vague words from Miss Chen family such as "Yao Wujiang Yao Clan"
, as for the specific news, I don’t know at all.
With his current strength, it is undoubtedly impossible to snatch it by force. If he had reacted slower just now, he might have lost his life, so he could only give up the plan of pursuing the Yinhun Banner for the time being. However, Kong Laosan already had it in his heart.
I made up my mind that when I am strong enough in the future, I will definitely go to the Monster Clan to get back what belongs to me.
Qiongcheng, located in the northern part of the Later Zhou Dynasty, is also known as the "Qiongjing". Before the Four Kingdoms War, the merchants and merchants in Qiongcheng were like clouds and cars and water. Its prosperity was comparable to that of Liyang City in the Qin Dynasty. However,
As the war between the Four Kingdoms became more and more intense, this once prosperous and unparalleled city also gradually declined. Although the teleportation circle between the city and Da Qin was not closed, the merchants traveling between the two countries were almost completely cut off.
On the streets of the city, the bustling scene of the past has become a thing of the past, and the shops and restaurants on both sides are extremely cold. However, these have nothing to do with Kong Laosan. When he came to Qiongcheng this time, he just wanted to use the teleportation circle here.
Just leave.
"Qiongyan Building" is known as the No. 1 restaurant in Qiongcheng, with a height of nine floors. When the business exchanges between the two countries were complicated, at every meal time, the entire nine-story building was full of guests, and the various scenes were just like yesterday's clouds.
It was almost evening. When Kong Laosan came here, many diners were already seated in the lobby on the first floor. He glanced around and Kong Laosan frowned slightly, seeming a little confused.
In the center of the lobby, there is a table, a chair, a cup of tea, an old man and a young man, talking in a high and steady tone. What is surprising is that when it is supposed to be meal time, there are seven or eight tables wearing clothes all around.
Scholars and scholars in Confucian robes and holding folding fans listened attentively to the old man's story, with sadness and sorrow on their faces.
"Oh, I think that when Taifu Lu was in power, Lord Gangsu suppressed the rebels throughout the dynasty, and used the "Thirty-two Strategies for Determining the Country" to restore stability to the later Zhou Dynasty, but in the end he ended up committing suicide. The whole world is sad.
This is the tragedy of scholars all over the world.”
The old man in front of him was wearing a shabby Confucian hat, and although the robe on his body was shabby, it was cleanly washed. It can be seen that he was also a well-educated man when he was young.
Two lines of clear tears. Some of the scholars in Confucian robes around them also showed sorrow on their faces. For a moment, the whole hall was sobbing, which made people feel sad.
In addition to these Confucian scholars, there were also some well-informed diners around. Perhaps affected by the atmosphere in the lobby, they also expressed lamentation and whispered to each other.
After a while, Kong Laosan finally figured out the whole story.
When Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty fought with Gui Yunzi for the demon baby, he did not know where he escaped, and the plan of the Later Zhou Dynasty failed. After the second prince Zhou Yin returned to the imperial capital, he finally thought of the Prime Minister of Dingguo, but just before the second prince sent someone to
When Taifu Lu was invited to return, Taifu Lu didn't know where he heard that the second prince had killed countless people of the Later Zhou Dynasty and sacrificed formations. He actually hit the dragon pillar in the Longting Palace of the Later Zhou Dynasty in front of the second prince. On the spot
A tragic death.
I think of Taifu Lu's words: "I am unfortunate in this life, my ability is low, I have no heart to help the world and save the people, my life is too tiring. If there is an afterlife, I would rather be a ruthless and unjust person, no longer bound by the moral principles in my heart, no longer trapped by love."
, "I will have no worries or hardships for the rest of my life", Kong Laosan's heart twitched slightly, and a wordless loneliness hung heavily in his heart.
"A ruthless and unjust person, ha"
Kong Laosan murmured something to himself, sighed heavily, and no longer had the interest to eat. He picked up his steps and walked towards the outside of the hall.
Yu'er City is located in the Great Qin-Han State. It is just an inconspicuous small town. However, due to the extremely developed waterways, most of the people in the city make a living by shipping, and their lives are not bad.
There are many gangs in Yu'er City, and there are more than twenty gangs, big and small. However, since the Shuiyan Gang, the overlord of the city, was slaughtered overnight three years ago, these newly established gangs and sects have become much more peaceful.
, each huddled in their own corner. As a result, the entire Yu'er City became more stable than before.
Walking on the familiar yet unfamiliar streets, Kong Laosan's steps speeded up unconsciously.
In the northern district of Yu'er City, where the headquarters of the Shuiyan Gang was originally located, at this moment, two dilapidated vermilion doors were affixed with a government seal. In the courtyard, some long-dried blood stains were vaguely visible, and weeds spread around, and occasionally two
Rats were scurrying around, leaving a desolate and dilapidated scene.
Kong Laosan looked around quietly, with no expression on his face, but there was a hint of deep sadness in his eyes. Family love is the only warmth he has ever felt since he came to this world, and it was also the only warmth he has ever felt in his previous life.
The only thing missing, now, even this thing seems to be far away from me.
Like a walking corpse, it kept walking around the yard until it had visited all the places in the yard, then it stopped. With a long roar, Kong Laosan suddenly rushed out the door as if he was going crazy.
It quickly swept towards the west area of Yu'er City.
The house with wooden walls and tiles and the wooden fence woven with bamboo branches around it have long been in decay, but the old willow tree in front of the door is getting stronger and stronger, with green branches hanging down, full of life.
Looking at the two wooden houses in front of him that seemed to have not been repaired for a long time, Kong Laosan's eyes shed two lines of tears unconsciously. The feeling at this moment was just like the lonely soul he felt when he walked out of the home of the couple who adopted him in his previous life.
The wild ghosts no longer feel at home, as if they have been abandoned by heaven and earth.
Lonely and boundless heart, no place to rest anymore
At this moment, Kong Laosan suddenly felt a heartbreaking pain, and a faint sense of violence slowly rose up. Above his dantian, the originally silent blood mass seemed to sense something, and it slowly bloomed, with wisps of blood.
The strange power began to spread.
Just when Kong Laosan was in extreme pain and his eyes were blurred and red, a "crunching" sound suddenly came into his ears. Then, the closed old wooden door suddenly opened in response, revealing a man wearing a torn robe and gray hair.
An old woman in her sixties who looked neatly groomed and leaning on a cane walked out.
Kong Laosan, who seemed to be huddled at the door, was startled. The old woman staggered back two steps and bumped into the door. When she recovered, she cautiously took two steps forward and carefully looked at Kong lying on the ground.
The third child.
"Little doll, what's wrong with you?"
"Old man, where are the families who lived here before? Where have they gone?"
The moment the door opened, Kong Laosan had already regained consciousness, but the old woman in front of him was not the person he had longed for. However, after such a buffer, his sinking heart gradually recovered, but his voice seemed a little hoarse.
"You mean the eldest sister of the Kong family? Alas, they have been gone for two or three years. The one who was picked up by that girl Xiuni didn't know where she went. She seemed to be in a hurry."
Hearing this, Kong Laosan felt relieved and hurriedly asked, "They are all gone? Are they all okay?"
"You kid, what nonsense are you talking about? What will happen to them? I was so frightened by what happened in Yu'er City that I would have left if I hadn't been alone. Alas, I don't know what kind of deep hatred there is, Shui
The Salt Gang wiped out the family, and many people died. You are also a member of the Kong family, right?"
The old woman sighed with emotion and suddenly stared at Kong Laosan and said something.
"Oh? How do you know?"
"Haha, everyone in the Kong family has a red string tied around their wrists just like you."
Hearing this, Kong Laosan subconsciously rolled up his sleeves and tied them tightly with a rather rustic red rope. After a moment, he took two deep breaths, and the slump on his face suddenly disappeared, and he laughed and said
, "Yes, I am also a member of the Kong family. My name is Kong Laosan!"
After saying this, Kong Laosan seemed to untie all the knots in his heart in an instant, greeted the old woman, and turned around to leave without looking back.
Jingjiao Hui is a long-established gang in Yu'er City. Among the several gangs that Yifanmen, the overlord of Yu'er City, wanted to annex, in addition to the Shuiyan Gang, Jingjiao Hui was also one of them.
Gang leader Hun Tianjiao, whose surname is Fu, has the character "天" in his name. He had a good relationship with Kong Da at the time. Originally, the two parties were considered an alliance. However, when the Yifanmen and the Shuiyan Gang were fighting, Gang Leader Fu actually
Choosing Mingzhe to protect himself, the two of them broke off contact.
Later, the power of the Shuiyan Gang surged, and Jingjiaohui shrank to a corner. Kong Da thought of his old friendship and did not cause trouble for him, so they were at peace with each other.
However, since the Shuiyan Gang was wiped out three years ago, the leader of the Jingjiao Guild, Fu, seems to have aged dozens of years. He no longer has the energy to take care of the gang affairs, so he handed over the Jingjiao Guild to his son.
After Fu Long, he no longer appeared in front of others.
