Chapter 169 Heaven and Earth Are Inhumane, Treating All Living Things as Insignificant
These corpses had been burned to the point where it was impossible to tell if they were men or women.
However, judging from their bodies, there were old and young among these people who had died tragically.
Jiang Ping was secretly distressed as he muttered to himself.
“Heaven and earth are inhumane, treating all living things as insignificant. The emperor is inhumane, and the common people are treated like straw dogs.”
This was the world.
As long as you were strong enough, you could control the life and death of these ants.
Other than those who were ants, no other cultivator would feel that this was inappropriate.
However, Jiang Ping was a little angry.
He turned around and walked back.
When he reached the checkpoint, Jiang Ping used a concealing spell to deceive the guards and left.
In the inn, the old Taoist priest promised He Xiangjiang that he would sleep after he fell asleep.
Perhaps he was frightened by the old Taoist priest’s snoring.
He Xiangjiang fell asleep right after he touched the bed.
The old Taoist priest took out a stick of incense and lit it, letting it burn slowly.
The smell of incense drifted in the room.
He Xiangjiang slept even more deeply…
Then the old Taoist priest quietly walked out of the door.
Standing at the inn’s door, the old Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, not knowing which direction to go.
So he took out three copper coins from his pocket.
He squatted down and threw the three copper coins on the ground.
Then he picked up the three copper coins again and threw them out again.
After doing it six times in a row, the old Taoist priest stood up and resolutely walked towards a road.
After that, every time the old Taoist priest passed by an intersection.
He would take out the copper coins.
Then he would throw it six times.
Every time he stood up, he would pick a path without hesitation and walk away.
After Jiang Ping left, the old Taoist priest also arrived in the eastern district.
However, the path the old Taoist priest took was very hidden.
Even people who had lived in the city since they were young might not be able to find this
path.
Because in theory, this path was not considered a path…
The old Taoist priest climbed up from a well that had been dry for a long time.
When he was on solid ground.
The old Taoist priest stretched his body before he began to look around.
Looking around, the old Taoist priest frowned.
His expression was a little sad and indignant. After getting close to the corpses, he was a little confused.
Then, the old Taoist priest took out a small bowl from somewhere and lit a few incense sticks.
He took down the wine jug at his waist and poured wine into the small bowl.
Then, he lit the incense and candles.
He muttered to himself.
The man rode the white crane, and the woman rode the Green Luan. It was a carefree and never-night day, a quiet and ever-bright place.
He prayed and was welcomed by the merciful light of the east pole. Elder Nandan pointed to the path of the clouds to reincarnate.
Returning to the world of 3,000 gold, where one would always be safe and happy. The twelve Jade Towers of Tianjing, where one would live… freewebnovel. com
What the old Taoist priest chanted was the mantra of salvation that belonged to his sect.
The old Taoist priest, who could not bear to see the suffering of the human world, saw the corpses one after another.
The old man’s expression was sorrowful.
After he finished chanting the mantra, the old Taoist priest slowly stood up.
His gaze was firm as he surveyed the surroundings again.
Only then did he slowly climb down the dry well.
After Jiang Ping returned to the inn, he entered his own room.
His fingers tapped on the table as if he was planning something.
Around the afternoon, Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi hurried back.
The two of them had been on the move for a whole day for the same purpose.
It was to find out the background of Yellow Clouds City.
Qiu Chi depended on his approachable face to ask around
Addressing everyone as brothers, and then slowly got the information out of them.
Lei Jingyun went to the teahouse where people gathered and talked after they had eaten their fill.
At that place, Lei Jingyun just sat and listened to the topics discussed by the people in the teahouse.
If they talked about topics that he wanted to find out about, Lei Jingyun would sit down and order a pot of tea or a plate of pastries for the table.
Then he would listen to their conversation.
Jiang Ping knew that the two of them had not eaten lunch all day outside, so he had the waiter prepare pastries and put them on the table early.
As soon as Qiu Chi entered the door, he picked up the pastries and ate them.
However, Lei Jingyun, who had stayed in the teahouse for half a day, saw the pastries.
Then, he moved the pastries further away from him, afraid that he would feel nauseous.
Lei Jingyun first opened his mouth to ask Jiang Ping
“Master, how are things on your side?”
He knew that as long as Jiang Ping’s side went smoothly, their investigation wouldn’t be very important.
However, Jiang Ping shook his head.
Then, he told the two of them about what had happened at the mayor’s mansion today.
Lei Jingyun stroked his beard with his two fingers and pondered.
Jiang Ping asked the two of them.
“What about you two?” After Qiu Chi drank a large cup of tea, he told them about the information he had gathered today.
The information on the situation that Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi had gathered was about the same.
Therefore, while Qiu Chi was talking, Lei Jingyun was on the side to fill in the gaps.
There were only three first-rate forces in Yellow Clouds City.
The rest were either unrated forces.
Or they were affiliated with these three forces.
These four forces were the Red Robe Gang, the Heaven’s Gate Sect, and the Dragon Spring Sect.
Of course, this did not include the mayor’s mansion, which could cover the sky with one hand.
Besides the Heaven’s Gate Sect, the other two leaders of these three forces were at the initial stage of the earth immortal realm.
The Red Robe Gang and the Dragon Spring Sect had never been on good terms with each other.
The two forces would often fight whenever they saw each other.
Although the sect master of the Heaven’s Gate Sect was at the nascent soul realm’s divine baby cultivation, he was good at doing business.
The Heaven’s Gate Sect also relied on doing business, so its position in the first-rate forces was more stable than the other two.
After Jiang Ping heard this, he held his chin and thought.
Lei Jingyun asked.
“What do you mean?”
Jiang Ping was also in a difficult situation.
Because the opponent’s lineup was not weak, and if he successfully broke out of the city.
The suspicious mayor would definitely think that he was the murderer of the attack.
Therefore, his group would definitely be hunted down.
Moreover, Jiang Ping had his family with him, so he couldn’t run far.
After Jiang Ping told the two of them what he was thinking, everyone fell silent.
A moment later, Qiu Chi said helplessly.
“We can’t even run away. If we stay here, we’ll be delayed. What can we do?”
Jiang Ping let the two of them go back to their rooms to rest, saying that he was thinking of a solution.
The guards from the mayor’s mansion followed Jiang Ping into the inn. They also saw Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi following him.
One of them went back to the mayor’s mansion to report.
The rest stayed behind to observe.
When the guard who went back to report was about to arrive at the mayor’s mansion, Lu Yuxiang walked out of his Dragon Spring Sect with a smile.
Then, he also walked towards the mayor’s mansion.
“Report!”
Lu Zhiheng called the guard who came back to report to the hall.
The guard reported where he had followed Jiang Ping today.
Jiang Ping’s every move was clearly reported.
Lu Zhiheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he asked.
“He went to the eastern district?”
“Yes, that person was already stopped by the guard on the way to the eastern district.”
“Then, he used an unknown spell to sneak in.”
Lu Zhiheng was confused.
Normally, normal people would not go near the eastern district at this time to avoid trouble.
