Chapter 1982

There was silence all around, and everyone held their breath waiting for Gu Zhengyang's decision.

Gu Zhengyang didn't look at the sword at his feet. He said faintly, "I won't kill you."

Zhao lie coughed a few more times, spitting out blood clots that were almost frozen. Finally, he stood up and looked at Gu Zhengyang for a while with a complicated look. He did not turn his head back and walked out.

"Zhao lie, you can still stay in Taiping City Village and continue to be your exploration team leader."

Gu Zhengyang cried, "no one will drive you away. You are really a very qualified exploration team leader!"

Zhao lie turned a deaf ear and staggered forward. When he came to the armored chariot, he looked at the wounded soldiers on the ground far and near, and suddenly asked, "village head, after the fierce battle last night, many wounded soldiers were left behind. Besides our people, there are other people in the village who can't take them away. How are you going to deal with these people and kill them all?"

Gu Zhengyang slightly a Zheng, shake head way: "you know, I won't kill them, throw them to the red line there, that is."

Zhao lie laughed and continued to ask, "you can't kill the old, the weak, the disabled, the women and the children in other villages?"

Gu Zhengyang still shook his head: "naturally, I will not kill women and children."

Zhao lie's eyes sharpened again: "even if these women and children took part in the battle last night, they once killed our soldiers?"

Gu Zhengyang hesitated for a moment, sighed and said, "as I said just now, it's too risky to make a rash raid. Now I just want to take my brother and materials and go back to Taiping City Village as soon as possible."

"Haha, haha, haha!"

Zhao lie suddenly raised his head and laughed bitterly. He turned his head and pointed to Gu Zhengyang's nose and said, "village head, you think it's a benevolent act if you don't kill these disabled soldiers and their wives and children, don't you?

"I don't know that these seriously injured people are still dead without enough medicine and food to recover!

"Without the protection of these young people, how can those old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children survive in the evil land? Either they starved to death, or they were enslaved by gangs and other big villages and turned into slave soldiers and prostitutes, resulting in a worse end than life!

"Well, it's a pleasure to kill them now. But your" benevolent and righteous act "is to cut them into thousands of pieces, torture them slowly, and bear more pain than death!

"Have you really never thought about that? Or do you just insist on some boring morality and don't want your hands covered with blood?

"It's no use. I'm in the evil soil. My hands have been covered with the blood of countless old and weak women and children. How can I wash them?"

Gu Zhengyang had not been knocked down by Zhao lie's bloody claws just now, but now he seemed to have been severely injured by his words. With a dull hum, his face turned pale.

"You let me go today, from my own point of view, of course, thank you for letting me go."

Zhao lie said, "however, from the perspective of Taiping City Village, it is increasingly proved that you are an indecisive, timid and wavering coward. People like you are not qualified to be the village head of Taiping City Village and have no ability to protect the integrity of so many people - no matter how strong your strength is!

"For the last time, the knife is at your feet, and my neck is here. Kill or not?"

Gu Zhengyang clenched his teeth and burst his forehead. After struggling for a long time, he still spat out a word as hard as iron: "roll!"

"You'll regret it."

With these words, Zhao Lietou did not return, like an eagle with broken wings, walking out step by step.

Zhao Chong stared at Gu Zhengyang and Han te for a long time. He stamped his feet and ran after him to support his father.

The father and son leaned on each other and disappeared in the dust and ruins.

Many villagers want to talk and stop, but they are all stopped by Gu Zhengyang's wave: "don't say anything, bandage the wounded, collect materials, and return to Taiping City Village as soon as possible!"

……

Although there were heavy casualties in the ceremony, the harvest was more than in previous years. It took a full day to move all the materials back to the iron hull ship of Taiping City Village, and then launched the power line at the bottom of the ship to re open the ship back to the middle of the lake to anchor.

Gu Zhengyang, however, seems to have suffered a lot. After the fierce battle, he regained his sickly appearance and left the chores to others. He plunged into the greenhouse full of barley and never came out again.

When Hante and Liuli take Li Yao in to check, he is holding a golden barley, smelling the full fragrance, like a statue.

"Dad, are you ok?"

Liuli was the first one to jump on it and grasped Gu Zhengyang's scarred hand anxiously.

"Don't worry, it's OK."

Seeing his daughter, Gu Zhengyang finally pulled out a stiff smile on his face, spread his five fingers, rubbed his daughter's head two times, and looked at Han te again. "Thanks to the change that Han te met half a month ago, there were several strange currents running around in his body. I figured out the trajectory of these currents, and I had a vague understanding. Only in this way can I temporarily return to the former state, He managed to defeat Zhao lie. "

"Master is the best!"

Han te took a look at Li Yao and grinned, "what 'blood eagle' Zhao lie is not an old hen, of course not your opponent!"

"It's just --"

Gu Zhengyang's smile narrowed, and a dark cloud appeared on his face. His eyes were a little empty. He said in a soft voice, "although I can defeat Zhao lie, I can't persuade him, or even... I can't convince myself.

"Am I really right? Is Zhao lie really wrong? At dawn today, shouldn't we raid the camp in the opposite village? At the last moment, should I really let Zhao lie go? "

"Daddy

Liuli was worried. "You, what are you talking about? Of course you are right. You don't always say that we are good people, at least we are human beings. We can't be the same as those crazy and evil guys!"

"But the result is the same."

Gu Zhengyang said sadly, "what Zhao lie said is right. Even if we don't kill the wounded soldiers and their wives, children and children, they and they will not live long. Either they will kill each other for the sake of the few materials left, or they will be enslaved by gangs and other big villages, and they will end up in a situation where they can't survive or die. In the end, no one can avoid death, No matter how powerful people are, they are doomed to be swallowed up by this evil land!

"If Zhao lie is a real villain, I am a hypocrite. I know they will die, but I don't care. I just don't want to kill them and dirty my hands."

In front of his daughter and apprentice, Gu Zhengyang's seemingly solid armor finally collapsed, and his voice trembled violently.

"It's not our fault!"

Han te waved his arm in a hurry. "There are only a few materials, but there are so many hungry people in the evil land. We can't even save ourselves. How can we spare the strength to save others? We can't help it! "

"Yes, I can't help it. We all... Can't help it!"

Gu Zhengyang coughed painfully again. He coughed so much that he even coughed up the viscera.

He seemed to be coughing. He made a decision. He pushed aside his daughter's and apprentice's hand and said, "I'm ok, Liuli. I have something to tell you. Han te, you might as well listen to it."

Han te and Liuli look at each other, and they can see that Gu Zhengyang's voice is more serious than ever.

"Or, it's a story that your mother told me before she died, about some very special people."

Gu Zhengyang said, "about the story of the true cultivator."

Lee Yew's spirit was shaken violently and nearly spilled over the steel shell.

There's no place to find. It doesn't take a lot of time. I didn't expect that he found the cultivator dormant on the evil land of Wu Ying kingdom so soon!

He raised yuan Shen's perception to the limit, never let go of Gu Zhengyang's every heartbeat and pulse, to ensure that he was telling the truth.

Han te and Liuli looked at each other, and obviously knew nothing about the name of "Xiuzhen person": "Xiuzhen person, what is that?"

"An ethereal legend, a bizarre story, maybe some... Indecisive, timid, soft hearted cowards."

Gu Zhengyang leaned against the bulkhead, his eyes closed slightly, and murmured, "originally, I was hesitant to tell you about the practitioners, because these people, including their stories and evil soil, are so different from the whole world we live in. They are so out of place! I feel vaguely that the story of the practitioners will not bring you any benefits, but may bring you devastating disasters to the Taiping City Village and even the whole evil land.

"But..."

He laughed miserably, and then said, "now I've figured out that the evil soil is like this. What disaster can make it worse?

"Moreover, according to Zhao lie, the bandits in Shuanglong valley are planning to deal with Taiping City village. If we don't tell you now, we may never have a chance.

"Liuli, do you want to know how your mother first thought of planting golden barley to save everyone in the evil land? When she was very young, she overheard a story. The story says that a long time ago, when the land of iniquity was still known as the "Kingdom of Wu and Ying", or when the mountains were green and the flowers were fragrant, there were a group of people called "practitioners."

Gu Zhengyang's expression was solemn and solemn. He took out an antique metal box from his pocket and carefully opened it. Inside was a very beautiful piece of velvet with a chip the size of a fingernail on it.

By scanning with Yuanshen and analyzing the structure and nesting mode of hundreds of symbol arrays on the chip surface, Li Yao preliminarily concluded that this should be a kind of memory chip, equivalent to a miniature jade slip.

Judging from the friction marks on the edge of the chip, its history is very old, and it may have been handed down for hundreds of years.

There is also a shallow crack on the surface of the wafer, causing irreversible damage to the structure.
