Chapter 1052 A Nursery Rhyme From Beizhou
"Starfire Column... I didn't expect that the mortal nursery rhymes coming from Beizhou would interest even a big shot like Senior Patrolman."
Jiang Xingyu hesitated for a long time, sighed deeply to Lin Lan and the good man Richard, and said slowly:
"Seniors should know that the mortals of Natlan today are facing an unprecedented disaster.
“It seems that the mortal villages that are protected by the sect and live in the mountains, forests and river basins are okay, and they can make a living by hunting and fishing.
“But the vast majority of farming villages have had their fields abandoned due to unprecedented unexplained agricultural disasters.
"Especially in Xizhou and Beizhou, due to the small number of rivers and lakes, there is even a great famine, and mortals are forced to change their sons to eat."
Before Jiang Xingyu finished speaking, a girl who was an extreme person spoke angrily:
"Obviously, the imperial capital and the state palaces distributed disaster relief grains, but all the official grains were misappropriated by officials and landlords in counties and counties to expropriate fields. There was not much disaster relief grains that were actually distributed to ordinary mortals!
"Many evil sects also collude with those dog officials and landlords to trick mortals and send them to evil sects as blood food. It's so abominable!"
Lin Lan frowned slightly when he heard this.
Sure enough, even in feudal countries in other worlds, land annexation and corruption are inevitable.
Evil cultivators and unexplained agricultural disasters added fuel to the process.
As a Donghuang native of Blue Star, he knew one thing very well.
Once these conditions occur on a large scale in any dynasty, it is not far from destruction.
"Junior sister...there is no need to say these things in front of seniors."
Jiang Xingyu first said reproachfully to the extreme girl, and then explained apologetically to Lin Lan:
"Sorry, senior, I'm a little off topic. My junior sister's hometown was destroyed like this..."
"It doesn't matter, I hate those corrupt officials too."
Lin Lan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind the emotional words of the extreme girl.
It would be better to say that what the other party said actually told him how miserable the life of a mortal in Natlan was now.
Jiang Xingyu nodded gratefully to him and continued to explain:
"Let's go back to the Spark Column. This is a folk nursery rhyme from Beizhou.
"Including us, many people only regard it as a fantasy made up by mortals to scare evil sects and officials and landlords."
After a pause, Jiang Xingyu read out the entire nursery rhyme for Lin Lan and the good Richard:
“Mortal people suffer, common people suffer, and all the people of Beizhou do not suffer;
“When you are well fed, you enjoy wine and meat, both immortals and mortals can see it;
“Giving elixirs, dividing fields, and giving subsidies even if there is no longevity tax;
"The foreign tribes descended, the monsters were in chaos, and the Spark Column hid in the country;
"The hammer in the left hand, the sickle in the right hand, the lamp is hanging and the evil cultivator is humiliated by all;
"The Immortals are lying down, the border guards are following, and the prairie fire is unstoppable;
"Abolition of exploitation, elimination of oppression, only through unity can we end the eternity."
After listening to this nursery rhyme, Lin Lan could hardly believe his ears and his eyes widened.
While the good Richard was still yawning lazily, the poor white-haired girl immediately froze with her mouth open when she heard the second half of the nursery rhyme.
At this point, Lin Lan was absolutely certain that this nursery rhyme was definitely spread by his Beilian and Donghuang ship girls.
The content in this nursery rhyme is by no means a fantasy made up by mortals in Natlan, but has actually happened in Beizhou.
Perhaps the Soviet Union, Yixian and the others believed that the time was not yet ripe, or perhaps the Natland Empire officials had blocked the information.
In short, the true situation in Beizhou was not known to all Natlanders. Instead, it was spread in the form of nursery rhymes.
As for what exactly the Spark Column is, the answer is obvious.
It is those Natlans who have devoted themselves to a great cause and understand the origin of their suffering.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Lin Lan adjusted his facial expression, stood up and changed the subject to everyone and asked:
"Speaking of which, where did Elder Chu go?"
"Master is meditating in the center of Shen Xingzhou. In order to save spiritual stones, Master chose to inject spiritual power himself."
After Jiang Xingyu answered, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he vaguely felt that Lin Lan's mood seemed to be much better after listening to the nursery rhyme:
"Senior, do you need me to take you to find Master?"
"No, it's not a big deal. I'll wait until we get to Dakang County tomorrow to tell her."
Lin Lan originally wanted to ask Chu Miaoyin about the transfer of Shen Xingzhou.
Since the other party is maintaining Shen Xingzhou's power, let's wait until tomorrow.
Just as the good man Richard also stood up, Lin Lan was about to leave the deck and return to the room to rest.
But he suddenly found that the invisible breath skill was activated.
What this means is self-evident.
Lin Lan suddenly turned around and looked outside the deck at the mountains shrouded in black night.
"Is there only one sect in the Evergreen Mountains, Qingxiao Pavilion?"
Hearing his sudden question, Jiang Xingyu, although confused, answered honestly without hesitation:
“Qingxiao Pavilion is indeed the only sect in the Evergreen Mountains and even Dakang County.
“But next to the Qinglin County in the north of the Evergreen Mountains, there is Qingxu Sect, one of the Twelve Immortal Sects in Nanzhou.
"The heritage of Qingxu Sect is far beyond what I, Qingxiao Pavilion, can compare with, so there will always be elders leading outer disciples into the Evergreen Mountains to rob... Wait, can you say that?!"
Halfway through Jiang Xingyu's words, his face suddenly became very ugly.
Because she noticed that the direction Lin Lan was looking at was just north of the Evergreen Mountains.
"I see. It seems that this evil cultivator crisis has indeed spread throughout Natland."
As Lin Lan finished speaking, an old voice full of hunger, thirst, greed and madness shrouded in pressure and tore through the quiet night sky:
"Don't leave until you have enough blood!"
In an instant, the faces of Jiang Xingyu and the three Foundation Establishment Extremes turned extremely pale.
Qingxu Sect is a huge sect that ranks among the best in the entire Nanzhou. If the other party becomes an evil sect, then the entire Qinglin County will be in ruins!
After a few breaths, behind the Shenxingzhou, several black and red spots appeared in the deep night sky in the distance.
Thanks to the vision blessing provided by the core of the commander's uniform, Lin Lan squinted and saw clearly what the coming person looked like.
It was a huge flag floating in the air flying at high speed, filled with crimson blood.
There is no doubt that this huge bloody flag, like the Divine Boat, is a spiritual weapon that can carry people.
Hundreds of extreme men and women wearing dark green robes, with cold faces, stood on the flags and looked at Shen Xingzhou with fierce eyes.
And around these Qingxu Sect disciples, there were countless shriveled corpses piled on the flags.
The number of corpses even made Lin Lan feel numb.
It is unimaginable how many innocent people these Qingxu Sect limiters who were corrupted by X slaughtered before setting foot in the Evergreen Mountains.
The speed of Qingxu Zong Banner is obviously faster than that of Shen Xingzhou.
During the short period of time he observed, this flag was getting closer and closer to the Shenxing Zhou.
