“……”

“……”

The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle, silent enough to prick one's eardrum, the dead silence that could be heard of a pin.

As the young Taoist talked, everyone's expressions became more and more strange, Han Lingsha's smile became more and more reluctant, Liu Mengli's eyes widened in surprise, Xuanji's mouth grew wider and wider, and his face was full of disbelief......

All in all, except for Yun Tianhe, who didn't notice the problem, everyone felt a desire to complain.

Is this how to see clearly? How clearly do you want to see?!

And even if you look at things like height and clothing style, how do you see other people's age, personality, and hobbies clearly?

INTERVIEWER Is it true that someone else writes their personal information on their face? Publicly visible, anyone can click and browse?

"What's wrong? Do you guys have any questions? ”

Xia Ran, who was talking eloquently, finally stopped, as if he noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange, he tilted his head slightly, and glanced at everyone very strangely, with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Everyone suddenly had a strange feeling of being threatened, as if they were going to be killed if they complained.

"No, we don't have a problem, it's you who have a problem...... In the end, only the girl named Xiuyu was expressionless, and her voice was cold, saying what was in their hearts instead of everyone.

"Aha, actually I ...... It's not that powerful! The young Taoist waved his hand very modestly, indicating that he actually had room for improvement, and he was not complacent because of this.

"Figure it out for me! It's not a compliment at all! ”

Xiuyu first subconsciously choked a sentence, and then reacted, and quickly restrained her emotions, making herself look just very impatient and cold.

She felt that she couldn't act too familiar with this guy, so as not to make people suspect that Huai Shuo and Xuanji were still watching here.

After all, as a family born in a wealthy family, she was sent to Immortal Mountain to practice at a young age, and the number of times she had previously entered the world was only a handful, and every time she was accompanied by her master or other brothers and sisters-

It is not possible to have a relationship with anyone, and at present, you still have to maintain your identity and personality.

However, the others didn't suspect anything at this time, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with the two straightforward words of this unpretentious girl, they only thought that her personality was straightforward at her age, and she had always practiced far away from the worldly world, so there were probably not so many restrictions on human feelings and secular etiquette.

That's why there is this kind of straightforward and fast-talking performance, and he will say whatever comes to mind.

"Okay, let's get down to business, things are actually as you can see, because the people of Shouyang City have over-collected herbs and fished with all their might, and have forced the Huai Demon to a desperate situation without food......"

Xia Ran waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and began to explain in a calm tone about what had happened since the incident here in Nu Luoyan in the past half month.

"So not long ago, when the people of Shouyang continued to push into the deepest part of Nuluoyan, they launched an uncharacteristic attack, causing casualties, in order to scare people into not daring to come here to collect herbs ...... again."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand and pointed it directly, and the air rippled like water waves, and the ripples spread directly to the surroundings, and the scenery of the space where he passed changed completely.

Before the crowd could react, the world around them was completely turned upside down-

They seem to have fallen into a long river, and the "water potential" is surging, enveloping them involuntarily drifting with the current, as if they are immersed in the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in Shouyang City in the past ten years.

The red dust is rolling, the years are like a shuttle, the sun is constantly rising in the east and setting in the west, and countless people in the town are constantly coming and going...... It's as if everything has been fast-forwarded.

I don't know when it began, the trajectory of people's lives changed, and a large number of people flocked to Bagong Mountain outside the city, like a tide, wave after wave, the front foot did not go and the back foot came again.

The town gradually became prosperous and rich, but the footsteps of the people did not stop, but intensified, and in the erosion of waves day and night, large swaths of vanilla disappeared from Bagong Mountain......

People still haven't stopped, and they don't know what it means to recuperate, let the ecology reduce the burden and recover their vitality, but they just continue to try their best to get it, and those who dig three feet into the ground will continue to desperately collect vanilla, and gradually enter the depths of Nuluoyan, and step by step force the living space of the Huai Demon living in it......

Year after year, day after day, seeing that the herbs were about to be harvested, and the most docile creatures were cornered, and finally one day, when people continued to dig up the last roots of the herbs, they broke out and hurt people.

People were frightened and panicked in their hearts, and stopped for nearly half a month, until one night a sword light rushed into the depths of Nuluoyan, and directly killed the Huai Demon clan who had just thought they could recuperate, and let them all die in the thickest piece of herbs, and the corpses were all scattered all over the ground......

The scene of circulation came to an abrupt end here—

It is as if a soap bubble is shattering, and the colorful patterns reflected on it are also gone.

Everyone woke up like a dream, and in a trance they found that they had returned to the cave, and Xia Ran's faint voice continued to resound:

"But the saying that the monster hurts people also spread, and then it alarmed the sword immortal who entered the world last night, he broke into the depths of this cave, and directly started to slaughter the Huai demon clan......"

Coming back from that immersive feeling, everyone who was shocked in their hearts had different complexions, especially Huai Shuo and Xuanji, their expressions were quite strange, it was a trace of resistance and a very obvious refusal to believe.

Only Xiuyu's expression was calm, she was also a disciple of Qionghua, but she had never agreed with the concept of this sect, and naturally there was nothing she couldn't accept.

- If you are brainwashed without understanding anything, it is still understandable, but knowing that the Qionghua faction that claims to be the way of heaven has actually been regarded as a demon by the way of heaven for a long time, and everything they do is just self-destruction......

Does she have to follow a path to the dark? How much of a hard thing to think about is this?!

"Hmph, anyway, this kind of thing doesn't come when you open your mouth, who knows if it's true or not...... And isn't it all your illusion? ”

After a few changes in Xuanji's expression, she finally pouted stubbornly, as if she gritted her teeth with disdain and said, doubting this.

Huai Shuo opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, although he knew that the powerful monk in front of him should have no reason to deceive them, but at this time, he really resisted believing everything that the other party had shown.

These are some of their true inner thoughts at this moment, which conflict with the ideas that have been deliberately instilled by the Qionghua faction for many years. At this time, it is indeed the best way to reject the information outright, put aside the argument and turn to accusations and doubts about the personality and credibility of the other person.

"Well, yes, that's what I said, after all, I really don't have any evidence, it should just be something that would have happened, and in the end it didn't happen under my interference......" But Xia Ran didn't care, just smiled and said casually.

He didn't plan to argue with Xuanji, who had a child's heart, because it didn't make sense.

He did this just to plant a seed of doubt and try to change the mindset of the two from the beginning. lest the two of them end up in such a miserable end-

In order to protect Murong Ziying, Huai Shuo fell under the sword of the fellow disciple who brazenly attacked him, and finally his heart was shattered and died, which completely shattered the unrealistic illusion in Murong Ziying's heart about the Qionghua faction......

And the lonely Xuanji did not leave the Qionghua faction after Huaishuo's death, but stayed in front of Huaishuo's room who would never come back, and was sacrificed in the process of lifting the faction, holding Huaishuo's worm cage and dying alone in the ice and snow......

It's miserable enough to think about it, obviously it should be one of the few people who haven't made too many mistakes and can be opened by the Tiandao Net, why should they be tied to death in the carriage of the Qionghua faction, which has completely lost control and is bound to crash and destroy?

"Humph! It's good if you know......" Finding that this powerful monk didn't seem to be angry, but took the initiative to take a step back, the little girl suddenly felt that she was more confident, and snorted again.

"So, this Dao Master, in the end, you saved those Huai Demons?"

Liu Mengli thought for a while, and asked, her eyes burning: "How did you arrange it after that?" ”

Let's not talk about right or wrong, this is the focus of her investigation when she came to Nu Luoyan today, at least to understand this matter.

"Under the water over there Chaohu Lake, there is a nest country, I let them all move over to live......" Xia Ran said casually, telling the truth, "After all, there are only poisonous insects and poisonous weeds left here, and it makes no sense for them to continue to stay." ”

"I see, is it a country of living in Chaohu under the water of Chaohu Lake?" The girl nodded thoughtfully, "But no matter what, in the next half a year, it is no longer possible to let people pick herbs, and excessive picking will be harmful and useless......

Liu Mengli is also a little helpless and guilty, in the end, this matter is still because of her, if it weren't for her ingenuity, collecting herbs to make incense, and even becoming a tribute, her reputation has increased, and Shouyang City would not be famous for her incense.

However, although the people of Shouyang have become rich because of this, it has also led to some other problems, that is, people's pursuit of wealth is endless, not to mention right or wrong, in the face of their unlimited demand, limited resources can not be sustained.

Don't even talk about the problem of the Huai Demon, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that in less than half a year, the roots of the herbs will be completely cut off, and nothing will be left......

At that time, I was afraid that I didn't even have enough to make up the share of the annual tribute, and it really got to that point, and I don't know how many people would be robbed of their homes and questioned.

"Half a year...... I'm afraid it's not enough. Xia Ran pointed out.

Liu Mengli bowed her head slightly, knowing this.

It is easy to move from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to move from luxury to frugality, and it is already unacceptable for the people to limit it to half a year.

Don't look at the people of Shouyang before, they were full of praise for Liu Shifeng, saying that he loved the people like a son and governed well. Later, when the government introduced a policy to control the collection of incense, Liu Shifeng would definitely be scolded by everyone pointing his nose and scolding, and he would become a dog official who "competed with the people for profit" and "brought disaster to the country and the people"-

Most people are reluctant to think about whether such regulation is necessary, whether it is for long-term consideration, and they can only see the immediate benefits.

Cutting off their wealth is like killing their parents, regardless of whether Liu Shifeng is clean or long-term, they only know that dog officials can't die well......
