Chapter 272: Thunder
Together with Yang Qi, he returned to Zhuyun Xiaoxie, which was a gathering among cultivators. Nongkasa made a special trip over. This is the only representative of Mu Yanran Foundation in Jiyun City, and the reunion of old friends is very cordial. For some other reason, Nongka did not participate in the Blue Lotus Tournament, which is a pity. However, when Ding Yi came back, he happened to break through to the middle level of the spirit level, which can be regarded as a double happiness.
"Ding Yi, I didn't expect you to be the first of our group to enter the middle level of the spirit level, and you have accomplished things that we can't even think of. Nongkasa said as soon as they met.
"Brother Nongka, if you mean defeating Zhongshan Academy, yes, we did. Ding Yi gave Nongsa a hug, and then introduced him to the members of the Xuanzang Academy.
Seeing that there were several beginner-level spirit level players in the team of Xuanzang Academy, Nong Li couldn't help but feel a little slanderous about the top level of Qingyun Academy. Because Qingyun Academy is the closest Xiuzhen Academy to Jiyun City, it is said that the academy is most likely to pick Ding Yi, but this magical boy who almost single-handedly defeated the entire team of Zhongshan Academy, and in the end, he was almost abandoned by the top management of Qingyun Academy, and was obtained by Xuanzang Academy, which also finally achieved Xuanzang Academy and won the championship of this Qinglian Competition. Originally, this honor belonged to Qingyun Academy.
Although the Qingyun Sect was next to Jiyun City, Ding Yi had never been to the Qingyun Sect or to the Qingyun Academy. But when Jiyun City encountered a great disaster, the performance of the Qingyun faction did not make Ding Yi feel satisfied. So when Shi Yao and the others went to visit Qingyun Academy and Qingyun Sect, Ding Yi didn't follow. However, Ding Yi still has a very good impression of Nongli, at least when Xintiandi was most short of money, Nongli and they all donated generously.
There were many people who attended this gathering, and cultivators were as utilitarian as mortals. For Ding Yi, a child, everyone has different perceptions.
The sense of glory and pride of Jiyun City is not just possessed by those civilians. As cultivators, they are also honored.
Again, thanks to Ding Yi, he has created a new world. Integrate the cultivators of Jiyun City with interests, instead of infighting and calculating with each other as before. They have gained a lot of resources, and at the same time, they have made a lot of like-minded Taoist friends. Therefore, although Ding Yi is young and his skills are shallow, he is very high in Jiyun City.
Ding Yi's relationship with the major families is not bad, and every cultivator in Jiyun City does not treat him as a child. Most of the people present had been to Fangcun Mountain to watch the Qinglian Championship. Among these people, there were originally some fans of Qingyun Academy, but now all of them have become fans of Xuanzang Academy. Everyone met at Huagai Mountain in June, and when the time came, they went to cheer Ding Yi. The mayor of Jiyun City even sent a plaque of 'Horse to Success' to Ding Yi.
Everyone was very interested, and the teachers and students of Genzo Academy were also very happy. Everyone was in high spirits and had a lot of fun.
At this time, Director Xiao of the Police Department walked over. He was the last to come to Zhuyun Xiaoxie, and someone with good deeds shouted: "Old Xiao, go to Huagai Mountain in June, or how about you lead the team?"
Director Xiao's face was solemn, and he didn't pay attention to it, but walked straight to the mayor.
"Something big has happened! I just received the message that three days ago, the Southwest Rebellion was over!"
Everyone was a little surprised, isn't it a good thing that the Southwest Rebellion is over? As a cancer of the empire, the Manggu Sect and the Truth Society have been completely eradicated, and this should be a very happy thing and a happy thing, why does Director Xiao have such an expression?
However, there are also cultivators who are familiar with the situation in the southwest and have a certain degree of understanding of the battle situation, and they frowned slightly when they heard Director Xiao's speech.
"Old Xiao, what the hell is going on?" many people shouted.
Director Xiao sighed and said, "His Excellency Zong Xiao, the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Rebellion, ordered the implementation of the 'Spring Thunder Plan', and the Southwest was completely destroyed. ”
Ding Yi and some others still don't understand what it means to be 'completely destroyed'.
A cultivator from a family asked, "Are you saying that there are more than 6 million square kilometers of mountains and rivers over there, and all 40,000 people are ......?"
This do-good man himself was frightened by this terrible thought of himself.
Director Xiao did not say anything...... All around was the sound of gasps.
Ding Yi was even more stunned by this terrible news. Although Mu Zhiming had reminded him before, he didn't expect that Zong Xiao would make such a big move, with a population of 40,000, that is 400 million fresh lives, and under the order of this great master of cultivation, all of them became wronged souls.
Among these 40,000,000 ordinary people, even those who believe in cults such as the Manggu Sect and the Truth Society are only a very small minority, but they ......
No wonder, Mu Zhiming would tell Ding Yi that Zong Xiao would be punished afterwards, not to mention that there are many cultivators in the nine southwestern provinces, and there are also a large number of cultivators, among these people, some of them are even members of the National Assembly, and there are not a few people who have traveled around the empire.
Zong Xiao's hand is not only aimed at ordinary people, but all the people in the southwest region. It is conceivable that those cultivators outside will take revenge on Zong Xiao after hearing this bad news.
"That filial piety, in Jiyun City a few years ago, was still gentle and kind, but I didn't expect that he was ruthless, how innocent was this hundreds of millions of Li people, how could he do it......"
There are such discussions all around, Ding Yi has been down, as a disciple of Zong Xiao and his own teacher, is it such a blood-stained executioner, that kind and kind elder, and this hideous-looking murderer Demon King, is it really the same person?
Mu Zhiming patted Ding Yi's shoulder and glanced at him meaningfully. Turning to leave, Ding Yi was a little distracted, but he still followed.
In the fine house, Mu Zhiming and Ding Yi sat facing each other, and Shen Yuzhu was at the door, taking care of the wind for them.
"Uncle Mu, you actually know what this so-called Spring Thunder Project is, right?"
Ding Yi stared at Mu Zhiming and asked.
Mu Zhiming said: "Yes, I do know. In fact, this is a plan drawn up by the military department a long time ago, and even if Senior Brother Zong does not implement this plan, someone will still implement it. It's irreversible. I know you're watching out for your teacher, but don't worry, he'll be fine. ”
Actually, Mu Zhiming would be wrong, although Ding Yi and Zong Xiao have the status of master and apprentice, but Zong Xiao did this kind of thing that people and gods are angry about, Ding Yi has long since denied this person and become his own teacher.
Zong Xiao went on a killing spree in the southwest, and used the blood of hundreds of millions of people to complete the tasks assigned by the military department. In the eyes of these cultivators, these people are rebels who may transform into cults such as the Manggu Sect and the Truth Society. When they raised their butcher's knives, they saw them as just ants, no different from the rebels. It's better to kill the wrong than to let it go!
And the only thing they were afraid of and scruples about was the crazy revenge of those cultivators who were born in the southwest......
Mu Zhiming thought that Ding Yi was afraid of the revenge of those crazy cultivators, and thought that he was worried about his teacher, but in fact, Ding Yi didn't pay attention to these at all. He just felt pity for the ordinary people who died unjustly, and he couldn't bear it.
Suddenly, Ding Yi thought of Leng Yancui, this place is the hometown of Xu Rongfa and Xu Manli, and it is said that it is located in the southwest.
He hurriedly asked, "Uncle Mu, may I ask what is the situation of Leng Yancui? Do you have any impression of this place? Do you remember Sister Xu Qian? She is from that place......
Mu Zhiming also remembered that gentle and graceful beautiful woman, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Mu Zhiming didn't answer Ding Yi's question, his sigh and silence made Ding Yi completely desperate.
The topic of discussion in Zhuyun Xiaoxie was flipped again, this time the topic was that in the uninhabited land of millions of square kilometers in the southwest, many cultivation resources were now ownerless, and countless spirit mines, medicinal herbs, and spirit trees were ......
The cultivators of Jiyun City can boldly expand under the two signboards of Xintiandi and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and this vast land has a lot to offer...... As for the victims, no one is talking about it anymore......
Many cultivators spoke enthusiastically, and they even asked Ding Yi for advice. Ding Yi was very confused, how could he have the time to discuss this with them. He left the banquet in a hurry almost out of his mind, and even when he left, he didn't notify Yang Qi. Directly driving the car puppet, he rushed back to Xintiandi.
After searching for Xu Rongfa without success, he drove the car puppet directly to the Industry and Trade Building. This is where Xu Manli goes to work, Xu Manli was originally going to go back to Phoenix with Ding Li, but Ding Yi's sudden return home disrupted some of Xu Manli's arrangements.
As the CEO of a large enterprise, she has a lot of things to deal with every day, although the managers in all aspects are performing well, but there are many things that she still needs to decide. She postponed her return to Phoenix Business Girls' High School because she wanted to spend more time with Ding Yi.
Xu Manli was in a meeting, and Ding Yi broke in in a hurry.
"Please go out for a while, I have something to say to Sister Manli. Ding Yi commanded.
The meeting was interrupted, and everyone left the conference room in a daze.
Xu Manli saw Ding Yi and rushed in, startled, she saw Ding Yi's face solemn, as if something big had happened. I don't feel a drum in my heart.
Xu Manli wanted to give Ding Yi a glass of water, but she was stopped by Ding Yi.
"Xiao Yi, shouldn't you be in Zhuyun Xiaoxie at this time?What is the matter with you coming over?" Xu Manli hurriedly asked.
Ding Yi asked Xu Manli to sit down, and then he organized the language and finished telling the information he had gotten.
Xu Manli's face turned snow-white with a brush. Although Xu Manli often complained that she was born in Leng Yancui, she was also teased by Hua Yingzi as a Southern Barbarian because of this. But after all, it was her hometown, where there were countless brothers and sisters, uncles and uncles, relatives and friends, and countless memories of her......
Xu Manli cried loudly, and outside the conference room, everyone was talking.
Ding Yi looked at Xu Manli crying into tears, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, thinking that his teacher was holding a butcher knife high and killing many relatives of the Xu family, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
But just crying can't solve any problems, and this news has to be told to Xu Rongfa, after all, he is the head of the Xu family who is now temporarily saved.
Ding Yi took Xu Manli and left the venue in a hurry, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Back in Xintiandi, Xu Rongfa had already received a notice and rushed back, accompanied by his wife Ji Honglian.
All the children of the Xu family were also summoned.
When Xu Manli saw Xu Rongfa, she cried and ran over, and Xu Rongfa's heart sank. Could it be that the Ding family wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge? Ji Honglian had already taken a pair of phoenix eyes with a pair of evil eyes and glared at Ding Yi.
Seeing his daughter crying with pear blossoms and rain, Xu Rongfa believed in his judgment even more. However, Ding Yi is now a cultivator, and he can't say anything serious, thinking that he forgot to sleep and eat for this company, worked day and night, and forgot his work, and in the end, he ended up with this ending, and his heart was a little sour.
"Brother Xiaoyi, do you have anything to say to us?" Xu Rongfa did not call Ding Yi a 'virtuous son-in-law', his resentment was still quite strong.
Ding Yi sighed, he still recounted this appalling thing.
Hearing that it was not a son-in-law who didn't want his daughter, Xu Rongfa felt relieved, and after listening to Ding Yi tell about the disaster that happened in the southwest, he, like the men, women and children present, all cried bitterly.
These Xu family members who left their hometowns and came to Jiyun City thousands of miles away, the wisp of nostalgia that had always bound their thoughts was cruelly torn off at this moment. The hometown has now become a ghost, they have lost their relatives and friends, and they have all become duckweed without roots......
Ding Yi is also very sad, but at the moment, living in this era of cultivators, this is a helpless thing. It's not that heaven and earth are unkind, but that this heaven and earth are controlled by cultivators, and the joys and angers of cultivators affect the life and death of these billions of people.
Why is this happening? What is all this for?
Ding Yi pondered this question repeatedly. He was a little stunned, at this moment he was full of hatred for the ruler of the empire.
In the past, he hated those people of the Truth Society, especially after the tragedy in Jiyun City, he hated those cults. Later, he himself became a cultivator, and he came into contact with all aspects of the cultivator, even if it was a somewhat violent Qu San, he was able to let go of hatred, chose to forgive, and instead went to exonerate the composer. In his opinion, most cultivators are good, and most of them are kind.
I didn't expect that these cultivators who he thought were kind would raise their butcher knives to those ordinary people, among them were their own teacher Zong Xiao, as well as their predecessors, including Tie Zhongtang, Yi Xiaomei, and Gu Yue, who were highly respected and had always admired.
At one time, he was also on the side of the Empire, thinking about improving and easing the relationship between cultivators and civilians. But this time, his teacher Zong Xiao gave him a big lesson.
It turns out that the relationship between cultivators and civilians is not as harmonious, coexistent and co-prosperous as the books say, this idea is just his own wishful thinking.
Ding Yi couldn't stay any longer, so he turned around and left lonely. Behind him was the heart-rending cry of the Xu family.
