Volume 1 Chapter 428: War Weary
Chapter 428: War-weary
Fortunately, everyone fought and knew that the people were the most important thing. The war did not harm the civilians, and the cultivators did not fight with ordinary people. This allowed the Wu State to survive the thousand years of civil strife.
Zhang Weijing and his party listened to a few fishermen describing the situation of Wu State as if they were listening to heavenly scriptures. Thinking about the people they met, whether they were soldiers or monks, they were all murderous and unafraid of death. It was just a barrier of death mountains, but it actually turned the huge Wu Kingdom into a kingdom of death. And I thought that Wu State was only three thousand miles in size, which was really ridiculous.
After sending the fisherman away, Zhang Ai simply said: "Return to the voyage." He originally planned to go to the Death Mountain to study why it was named after death, but he didn't think about it at this time. It would be better to cause less trouble than anything else.
Song Yunyi was once a princess of a country. She also cared deeply about the affairs of the country. She was kind-hearted and did not want to see innocent people suffering. She hesitated and asked, "Don't you want to see it anymore?"
Zhang Awei understood her intention and sighed: "We can't control it. Unless we wipe out all the thirteen major sword sects, it's impossible." Song Yunyi looked gloomy, nodded lightly and said no more, Zhang Awei said. It is a fact, and the bigger fact is that it is impossible for them, No. 40, to destroy the Thirteen Great Sword Sects alone.
Zhang Tianfang came up with a bad idea: "Let's kill secretly, one by one; let's kill slowly, one hundred or two hundred years old." Zhang Ai readily agreed: "You go ahead, we support you."
There is no need for the big ship to return. It goes out to sea to relax and enjoy the scenery. As long as it does not settle in the border of Wu State and does not provoke the Jianzong monks, it should be fine. Fang Jian said what he was thinking, and everyone did not want to return to the Warring States Period, so they agreed and the Five Immortals continued eastward.
Because Song Yunyi was worried about the safety of the people of Wu State, Zhang Ping controlled the ship to sail offshore, so that he could rescue them if he encountered killings. During this trip, I discovered that the State of Wu was really huge, stretching across thousands of miles. After sailing along the coast for two months, I still didn’t leave the border of the State of Wu.
The coastline of Wu State is a large arc. By going around this arc, the direction of seagoing ships will change from eastbound to northbound. After walking for another month, I left the country of Wu and found that it was bordered by the country of Yue.
Zhang Ping once got off the boat to investigate. The Death Mountain range in front separated a mountain pass five miles wide and five miles long. After passing this mountain pass, you will reach the Yue Kingdom. After he found out, he couldn't believe how big the world was, and he didn't expect to come back after spinning around.
He wanted to return to the Yue Kingdom through the pass, but was stopped thirty miles away. This place was densely packed with soldiers. Countless soldiers filled the pass. With the middle of the pass as the boundary, Bai Wu soldiers and Yue soldiers faced each other a hundred meters apart. , and then the steps were filled with various protective means, such as fortresses, trenches, sinkholes, etc., turning the five-mile-long mountain pass into the most terrifying stretch of road in the world. The area outside the pass was directly occupied by military camps and was a restricted area. Fortunately, it was just ordinary soldiers and the monks did not participate.
Zhang Weijing was a little shocked. The civil war in Wu continued, and even the only external road in the northeast corner was blocked. Isn't it not open to trade?
The land route was blocked, so everyone took a boat to return to Yue Kingdom from the sea, and then disembarked from the boat and landed. After seeing the battles between the two sides, Zhang Ping sighed with emotion. Fortunately, Bai Wu did not send troops to cross the country. Otherwise, with the help of the Bai Wu sword sect, he would easily occupy half of the country. You must know that the four major demon sects of the Yue Kingdom were destroyed and three were injured. They are recovering their strength and are unable to resist at all.
This is because Zhang is afraid that monks are the most arrogant and few are willing to be busy with worldly matters. The Bai Wu Jian faction participated in the civil strife in Wu because their relatives were involved, and some things had to be done. But don't even think about asking them to help attack the city. They are not the war weapons of a certain imperial court.
Set foot on the land of Yue Kingdom and choose a small road to go north. Everyone walked slowly, and two days later they saw a big river with majestic waves and endless momentum. Zhang Wei smiled and realized that it turned out to be the Ning River. Five hundred miles further along the river was the mouth of the Ning River. He had gone back and forth several times when he was tracking down the three bastards of the Three Talents Sword Formation of Qing Sect Heaven and Earth People, but at that time it was only when his spiritual consciousness arrived. However, I didn’t really wander around here. At this time, I felt free to appreciate it carefully with everyone.
Seeing Ninghe, one understands why one can meet the Jiao Jing in the sea. The unlucky ghost must have escaped from the estuary into the sea, and then went to the Kingdom of Wu to rest, but was discovered by the Sword Sect monks. What followed was a decades-long pursuit. After a life of killing and escaping, he finally met Zhang Ping.
While walking around, he saw many people, most of whom were living and working in peace and contentment. Song Yunyi thought of the suffering people of Wu State who suffered from the war, and went straight to ask Fu Kong: "Buddha saves the world with benevolence and love. You are an outstanding disciple of Buddhism. Why?" Watching innocent people suffer without helping? "
Fu Kong sighed quietly and said nothing. Instead, he walked up to Zhang Ao and stared at him. Zhang Ain thought for a while and said slowly: "First, the strength of the Thirteen Swordsmen Sect is unknown. Unless you show up, I can't defeat you; secondly, only by killing to stop killing can we restore the world, and I am not good at killing; thirdly, To control the officials and rule the people, you must have strong means and serve the people wholeheartedly. Who of you wants to be the emperor? Fourthly, it will take a long time to conquer the long country of Wu. How many years will this battle take? "
Zhang Wan wanted to be kind and be a good person, but his ability was limited and many things could not be solved by being kind. Song Yunyi also knew this and said softly: "A cultivator can only prove the truth by cutting off love. It's because of the confusion caused by self-obsession." This sentence made her feel very uncomfortable. She was deeply in love with Zhang Wei. How could this love be broken? Willing to break.
Zhang Awei shook his head and said nothing. Zhang Tianfang interrupted: "Since we have returned to Yue Kingdom, do we want to seek revenge from the Four Demonic Sects?"
Zhang Pa continued to shake his head: "If you want revenge, you should first kill the monks of the Jin family Jiatang. Let's talk about it later." After saying that, he walked to the river bank and looked down. The same water is called a river here, and it is called a sea when it flows into the sea. It is called a stream when it is trapped in the foothills. Small water is a mountain spring, and large water is a lake. It is rain in the sky, and it is snow and ice when it is cold. It is just that the environment changes, and the water has different performances. People are the same. In Wu, they are people in troubled times, living to save their lives; in Yue, they are peaceful people, striving for money and power; if it were us, we would not be tempted by worldly things and would only seek longevity.
He sighed by the river, and a person floated down from the river. The man was extremely beautiful, standing lazily on the water. When Zhang Pa found him, he was already within a thousand meters. Seeing Zhang Pa, he was furious and said, "Boy, I finally found you."
Enemy, meeting the enemy again, Zhang Pa stepped forward into the river and whispered, "Go away, I don't want to fight."
The man smiled sinisterly: "You said you don't want to fight? I swore to kill you, prepare to die." The figure slid across the river, as light and fast as a seabird.
Zhang Pa didn't want to fight or kill anyone. He had no grudge against this guy, and he hadn't seen this guy do evil. He raised his palm flat, a thick ice wall blocked in front of him, and whispered, "Go away, I really don't want to fight." I don't know when he became tired of war.
