Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 652: Stranger City
Chapter 613 Stranger City
Luo's expression slightly became serious.
Can the listener save the world? This is utter nonsense.
In just one sentence, she heard countless flaws—the Privy Council had never predicted anything, and the listener was an object for them to control and use. And the listener is not much different from other alchemists in essence. If you have to describe it, it is that this type of person is a sharper sword. As for whether the sword is to kill the evil or the innocent, it all depends on the listener. .
According to a thousand words, there are not a few listeners in the world of cholera at the end of the Eternal Dynasty, and even she has hunted and killed these alchemists who mastered immortality.
Not to mention that Luo Qingming himself is a listener.
She made an oath to the door, but the door never asked her to be kind.
In other words, as long as she follows the way of order, even the most ruthless order is not a violation of the oath.
This is enough to explain the absurdity of the rumors.
But the information provided by the children is much more than that. In the Privy Council period, the listener was considered one of the top secrets, and only the guardian level was qualified to know it. The general agitated did not know that they had a second chance to awaken. This means that Salvation is not a sect formed spontaneously by the people in the past, at least its creators have some information that ordinary people would never know.
Secondly, the Salvation Cult dared to make the matter of the listener public, proving that the other party already knew very well that the Privy Council was completely paralyzed, and had no spare capacity to interfere in Youzhou's affairs. If the listener's news may be accumulated in the past, accurately capturing the current situation of the Privy Council can only show that the other party has a complete intelligence system, and can even directly monitor Jinxia City in the east.
With such strength, but using unequal news to deceive the people, this "salvation cult" has left an unreliable impression in Luo Qing's heart.
"Don't join them." She said solemnly, "I'm afraid these people didn't come here with kindness."
"But...our food is basically exhausted." Li Le hesitated, "If it weren't for the rumors of the Salvation Church, everyone would not stay around Qianren City forever."
"Don’t worry about the food for the time being, I will find a solution." Luo sighed slightly and secretly. These people are all victims of the collapse of order. At the intersection, she can no longer stay out of the matter.
The way to maintain order is not just killing.
"Do you want to...Want to..." Li Leka asked with difficulty after a long time, "Want to buy us?"
Luo couldn’t help laughing lightly, “Jinxia has abolished the human trade. Although the influence of the policy has not spread here, I believe it will happen sooner or later. So... I didn’t buy you. Mean."
"Jinxia?" This unfamiliar word gave the children a dazed look.
Obviously, their insights did not include the seaside salt city in the east.
"Since you didn't plan to buy us, why do you still..." Li Le asked inexplicably. In his opinion, it is impossible for anyone in the world to do this for a group of strangers.
"Let's treat me as reward for providing me with a temporary residence." Luo waved his hand gently.
"But it's hard to find something to eat nearby..." Someone whispered, "Big sister, don't you really want to enter the city?"
"Don't worry, I will not only enter the city, but I will also come back with food before the evening of tomorrow." Luo nodded gently, "You just wait for me here."
She wanted to see who made Qianren City what it is now.
……
The next day, Luo lightly found a carriage into the city, and went to the east gate of the city with it.
She took the children’s suggestions and re-dressed herself—not only changed her simple plain clothes into more simple linen clothes, she also wrapped all her hair and put on a blindfold by the way, Revert to the "blind" appearance. She is not afraid of conflicts with the armored men guarding the city gate, but she doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, which will eventually lead to the startling.
As Li Le said, after the guards collected twenty taels of silver per person, they circled the carriage and confirmed that there were no smugglers before letting the coachman into the city.
Passing through Wengcheng, Luo gently frowned as he drove into the streets of the city.
The scene inside was quite different from what she remembered.
The bungalows scattered on the side of the street have now been razed to the ground, and the vacated land has turned into patches of farmland.
If it wasn't for those crops that exuded a faint aura, she would have thought she had missed it. But the facts are in front of us. Someone did flatten some houses and re-planned the outer circle of the city as farmland!
Generally speaking, the city will only grow bigger and bigger after it is established. This is the first time Luo Qing has seen this kind of retrogressive planning measures.
The problem is that Qianrencheng has a limited land area, and there are also many farmland outside the city. At most, it is just a lack of people to cultivate. Mobilizing the people who have fled here and resuming food planting together is more than destroying houses in the city and reclaiming wasteland. Be wise.
What is the purpose of the new ruler doing this?
"Girl, where do you want to go?" the coachman asked.
"Futian Street, Luo Family Mansion." Luo gently suppressed his distracting thoughts, planning to go back to the mansion to take a look.
"Guest...couldn't it be the Luo family?"
"No, what's the matter?"
"It’s not just fine," the coachman said with emotion, "There...no one has been near it for a long time."
While the carriage was driving, Luo Qing finally saw the urban area with houses, but she also noticed that many residents were lying next to the street in twos and threes, seeming to be begging for food, or dozing off, but it’s a pity. Mengmeng's gaze was not enough to make her really see the scene of the city. The only thing Luo Qingqing could be sure of was ~IndoMTL.com~ that former lively Qianren City was gone forever.
Fifteen minutes later, the coachman drove her to her destination.
The huge yard and the blue tile wall are still there, but the collapsed yard gate and unattended entrances prove that the place has been completely deserted.
Luo gently crossed the broken door panel under his feet and walked into the Luo family compound.
The unpleasant smell of corruption immediately penetrated her nose.
With a worried mood, Luo Qing no longer concealed his skill. She stepped forward and rushed up to the eaves like a swallow, and rushed to the place where the library was located after a few ups and downs.
However, the building in the memory did not appear in her eyes as expected.
Luo's heart gently sank to the bottom.
She jumped to the ground, rushed along the courtyard that she couldn’t be more familiar with, and soon found a patio.
Looking at this bare stone patio, she suddenly realized that she was already standing in the library!
Only the three-story book pavilion above the patio, as well as the ingenious bronze mirrors, bridges, and spiral staircases are all gone.
