"Humph." The corner of Zhou Xingyun's mouth curled up slightly, and he returned the long bow to Mu Ya in an elegant manner, and said to the dumbfounded Mu Hanxing: "Xiao Hanxing, do what you just said still count?"
"This... is unscientific." Mu Hanxing wondered if he was asleep and daydreaming. What happened to Zhou Xingyun's arrow? Can this turn the world around?
"Senior Brother Xingyun, can you predict the wind?" Xu Zhiqian was amazed by Zhou Xingyun's incredible archery skills and grabbed his wrist excitedly.
"No... I'm just throwing random shots to confirm something." Zhou Xingyun said lightly.
"Is this a new round of knowledge?" Xu Zhiqian calculated the time. It was very likely that Zhou Xingyun had inherited a new and strange knowledge. Otherwise, how could he shoot such a mysterious arrow.
"I did inherit something recently, but it's not the same as before. The arrow just now was just to confirm the situation..." Zhou Xingyun truthfully confessed that when he was at Yueya Peak, he felt that he had changed, but because of
What he inherited this time was not memory, knowledge, or life experience, so he was completely unaware that he had acquired something special without even knowing it.
"Is it archery ability?" Xunxuan asked curiously. If so, Zhou Xingyun's magical arrow just now can barely be explained.
"It's not archery... The thing I inherited this time is very strange. I don't know what to say for a while. I'll tell you after I verify it and draw the final conclusion." Zhou Xingyun replied ambiguously. After all, he really still has it.
I haven't figured out the new abilities I inherited this time.
Furthermore, they drove away the Xuanyang Sect gangsters and rescued more than 600 local residents. By this time, the other party had calmed down and sent several representatives to talk to them.
"Thank you all the chivalrous men for your life-saving grace." Seven men stepped forward and knelt down respectfully to express their gratitude. Upon seeing this, more than 600 civilians knelt down with them and thanked Zhou Xingyun and others for their life-saving grace.
"Everyone, please get up quickly. It is the duty of our righteous disciples to eliminate harm for the people." Zhou Xingyun quickly helped the leading man and motioned for everyone to stand up.
Zhou Xingyun did not dare to compliment the kneeling ceremony, let alone more than 600 people kneeling together, including old people and children. He couldn't bear it.
"Where are so many of you going? How come the villagers who just attacked you are with the cult gangsters?" Isabel asked straight to the point. More than 600 villagers and ordinary people left their homes for a trip, which was unusual when viewed horizontally and vertically.
"We are leaving the Northern Territory. It is no longer possible to live here. The people who attacked us just now are villagers from Zhangjia Village in the north..." The man said clearly. The 600 or so people here are all from the villages west of Shiyuan City.
resident.
Now, due to the rampant banditry and the inaction of the local governor, they have no choice but to abandon their homes and go to the west to make a living.
"Why did the villagers in the north of Shiyuan City attack you?" Wei Suyao had several doubts in his mind. Why did the villagers in the north help the evil sect and join forces with the evil Xuanyang Sect to rob the residents of the west village.
In addition, Wei Suyao carefully observed the more than 600 people who fled the northern border. They were all in ragged clothes, and their packages usually contained dry food. There was no benefit at all in robbing them.
"They are all crazy!" A man stood up and said sadly. He was the one who escaped from Zhangjiacun.
"Crazy? Why? Can you tell us?" Xu Zhiqian asked curiously, hoping that the man could tell everyone the situation in Zhangjiacun in detail.
More than 600 villagers fled the northern border and were intercepted by members of the Xuanyang Sect. Many people were injured and needed time to treat their wounds.
The man happened to take this opportunity to tell Zhou Xingyun and others about the situation in Zhangjiacun.
Zhangjiacun is located to the north of Shiyuan City and is a poor village with a population of 700.
However, although life is relatively poor, everyone is very simple. Even if there is a famine, they can endure hardships and work together to overcome difficulties...
However, all this changed with the emergence of Xuanyang Sect.
At the beginning of the year, the emperor's sixteenth son raised his troops to rebel, and the northern princes sent troops to help, but they were completely defeated.
When the thieves in the Northern Territory heard the news, they all took advantage of the chaos and committed crimes. They robbed villages and towns in the Northern Territory and demanded that the villagers hand over their property, food, and women.
It is true that if only bandits invade, the villagers can barely form a militia to resist.
No matter how bad it is, you can still waste money and eliminate the disaster. You can discuss it with the bandits and hand over the property and food obediently. Bandits usually don't kill the goose to get the eggs and drive out all the villagers.
However, the Xuanyang Sect is a different matter...
A few months ago, the Xuanyang Sect first appeared in the northern territory. With lightning speed, it took under its command the mountain bandits all over the northern territory, and then extended its claws into every town and village.
The man who escaped from Zhangjiacun looked pale and recounted what Xuanyang Evil Sect had done in Zhangjiacun. It was simply more terrifying than evil spirits...
The behavior of the Xuanyang Sect is completely different from that of thieves. They broke into Zhangjiacun, not only to rob property, but also to enslave the people of Zhangjiacun with cruel and inhumane means.
The evil disciples of the Xuanyang Sect use the evil and desires of people's hearts to brainwash the villagers and spread the teachings of the Xuanyang Sect.
After the disciples of the Xuanyang Sect invaded Zhangjia Village, they arrested all the beautiful women in the village, and then forced the men in Zhangjia Village to seduce the beautiful women in the village to satisfy the demanding and unattainable desires of the village men and enhance their sense of identity with crime.
The Xuanyang Sect claims to be a messenger sent by God to save all living beings. It wants to bring happiness to all living beings, and persuades people to indulge themselves and release their inner desires. It uses extremely violent means to dominate the villages, preaching the sacrifice of the interests of a small number of people and not treating them as human beings.
, thereby satisfying the desires of most people.
According to the statement of a man who escaped from Zhangjia Village, the Xuanyang Cult has continuously brainwashed the villagers, advocating sharing wives and daughters for universal happiness, forcing them to violate human principles and commit evil crimes, thereby releasing their desires and obtaining happiness, prompting the villagers to gradually lose their conscience and become Xuanyang Cultists.
fanatical believers.
Xuanyang Church made a man starve for three days, and then forced him to rob food from the old, weak, women and children in the next village. The desperate man had no choice but to do what he did, otherwise Xuanyang Church members would not kill him, and he would be killed alive
starve.
Furthermore, this was forced by Xuanyang's teaching, not of his own free will... Once a man has such an idea, it is very easy for him to be tempted and do something that is harmful to nature.
The Xuanyang Church forces village men to violate the women they like and satisfy their inner desires on the basis of committing crimes, and then hypocritically tells the men that this is not your fault, it is the Xuanyang Church that forces you to do what you do.
The beauty of a woman is a favor given to her by God, and the favor of God is given to all people, not to her alone, and it should not belong to her alone. Therefore, all men in the world should have the right to enjoy the gift of God...
The Xuanyang Sect confuses the public with its evil words and uses a variety of extreme means to arouse the evil and greedy side of human nature, awaken the roots of their sins, and gradually undermine the conscience of the villagers, making them die loyal to the Xuanyang Sect.
Those villagers who would rather die than surrender will be regarded as sinners, and various cruel and inhuman punishments will be executed in public under the auspices of Xuanyang Sect disciples.
All those who violate the teachings of the Xuanyang Sect are extremely evil and must be offered as sacrifices to the gods and suffer the judgment of the Xuanyang Sect.
Followers of the sect, advocating the sect, obeying the divine edict of Xuanyang Zhenren, and making contributions to the Xuanyang sect will be able to enjoy universal happiness, have plenty of food and drink every day, enjoy the women of their choice, and gain glory and wealth.
The villagers in Zhangjiacun, under the pressure of the Xuanyang Cult, either went completely crazy or completely collapsed.
Zhou Xingyun, Xu Zhiqian and others all had serious expressions on their faces after hearing about the situation in Zhangjiacun. They did not expect that such an incident that would anger both humans and gods would happen in the northern territory.
"The Xuanyang Sect is very ambitious. They want to dominate the entire north and make nearby villagers become Xuanyang Sect followers."
The man who escaped from Zhangjia Village said with lingering fear that he told Linjia Village and Liangjia Village to the west of Shiyuan City about the situation in Zhangjia Village, hoping to use the manpower of the two villages to escape from the north together.
The Xuanyang Sect has sealed off the entire north. If only a few dozen people leave their homes, they will most likely be arrested by Xuanyang Sect disciples. Only by gathering strength from two villages can they escape...
The villagers of Linjia Village and Liangjia Village also knew that staying in the Northern Territory would lead to a dead end, so they agreed to move their families and the whole village this morning away from the land of trouble and trouble.
"Heroes! Save people to the end, send Buddha to the west, please escort us out of the northern territory!" After the man stated the situation in the northern territory, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, begging Zhou Xingyun and others to escort them away, otherwise
If they are attacked by bandits again, all 600 of their people will be enslaved.
Zhou Xingyun and others cannot turn a blind eye to the situation in the northern territory, and it is imperative to help. However, more than 600 people have left the northern territory with their families, where can they go to survive?
They escaped from the North and although they were able to avoid the scourge of evil cultists, their lives were still not guaranteed.
The villagers abandoned the farmland and homes they depended on and fled the northern territory in a hurry. How will the population of more than 600 people survive in the future? Moreover, the little dry food they brought with them is estimated to only last for three to five days, and six hundred people.
After hundreds of people fled the northern border, it would be thankful to God that half of them survived and did not starve to death.
There was no transportation in this era, so the more than 600 villagers had no choice but to brave the summer heat and walk to other cities. Moreover, even if they arrived in other cities, the city guards might not let them into the city.
The entry of more than 600 refugees into the town will definitely have an impact on local residents and affect public security in the city.
So, after some discussion, Zhou Xingyun and others decided to send more than 600 villagers to the Wulin Alliance base area and let Han Qiumiao take care of them.
The residents of the northern territories were beguiled by the public opinion created by the northern princes and thought that the current royal family was incompetent and only cared about the common people.
Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Zhou Xingyun directly sent the refugees to Han Qiumiao, so that the residents of the northern border could witness with their own eyes how the royal sister of our dynasty took risks to share the worries of the people.
More than 600 villagers who narrowly escaped death would probably be moved to tears if they knew that today's imperial sister learned that bandits were rampant in the Northern Territory and had no hesitation in leading Jianghu Zhengdao to personally conquer the bandits.
The Xuanyang Sect has lost all conscience and done all the evil things that are outraged by both humans and gods, forcing the people in the north to live worse than death. If Han Qiumei can successfully quell the thieves in the north, he can work hard to win back the hearts and minds of the people in the north.
