Chapter 1404: Scenery in the City
According to the information Huanyin had, Yan Yang's residence was in the central area of the Central Shanxian City.
For a senior patrol envoy, such a residence location was naturally not suitable. After all, senior patrol envoys were of high status and were close to the emperor, so they should naturally live next to the emperor, that is, in the absolute central area of the Central Shanxian City.
However, the reason why Yan Yang lived in such a relatively peripheral place was not because he was not valued by Luo Hou. The reason why he lived here was because he was indifferent by nature, did not like to socialize with people, did not like excitement, and did not like to participate in the intrigues such as dividing factions or standing in the Celestial Empire. So, he simply applied to Luo Hou to live in the periphery and cultivate himself.
Yan Yang's work ability has always been good, and Luo Hou was quite satisfied. Otherwise, he would never become a senior patrol envoy. So Luo Hou followed Yan Yang and let him live outside.
The Central Shanxian City was far away, and it took Huanyin a long time to enter by teleportation array. In addition, the Central Shanxian City is very large, and even if you just enter the central area from the periphery, you need to go through multiple teleportations, which consumes more time. So this time, Huanyin's "homecoming" trip will take a long time.
For this, Huanyin has long been prepared. It can even be said that he had too many such exchanges as the Emperor of Heaven in the past, not to mention that he always entered and exited from the real center of the Central Shanxian City, which is longer than the span of the central area, so Huanyin has long been accustomed to this kind of thing.
Huanyin just wanted to take advantage of this time to take a good look at the changes in the Central Shanxian City now.
Along the way, Huanyin found that the teleportation arrays he stepped into were similar to his memory. Although they did not become worse, they were not improved. It seems that either Luohou has not worked hard in this regard, or he lacks talents in this area.
As for the situation Huanyin saw in the periphery and central areas after entering the Central Shanxian City, it was also similar to what Huanyin had imagined. Although the prosperity and immortal scenes here are far from being comparable to any other realm in the Three Realms, nor can they be compared with any other city scene in the Four Directions and Eight Days, they are unique in the Three Realms, and words cannot describe such magnificence and incredibleness, but Huanyin has long been accustomed to these, so he doesn't care. Even in Huanyin's view, these scenes are nothing compared to the real central area, and they are not up to the standard at all. And as the central area of the head of the Three Realms, shouldn't there be a grand and magnificent scene that people worship?
Of course, to create such a scene, and not to leave out the huge Shanxian City, Huanyin really organized a large number of people and spent a lot of effort, and it took a thousand years to finally complete it. This is the feeling Huanyin wanted back then. Now it seems that Luohou is not opposed to this feeling, so he has hardly changed it.
As for those parts that were destroyed in that war, I think Luohou has already sent people to repair them over the past few hundred years, so this place looks like the original, with immortal air lingering.
But unlike the prosperous atmosphere here, Huan Yin saw too much change in the people here, which was also the most significant change he saw during this trip.
Things are different, and people have changed. This word may be the most appropriate one at this moment.
Here, there are still people from the Heavenly Dao and the Asura Dao. However, in the past, in the Central Shanxian City, the two kinds of people lived in harmony, regardless of their status. Although the blessings of the people of the Heavenly Dao are deeper, under Huan Yin's rule in the past, because he emphasized that the people of the Asura Dao should not be discriminated against, the two kinds of people here are exactly equal, no matter from which aspect.
But now it is different. On the street, you can still see the people of the Heavenly Dao and the Asura Dao running side by side. But in most cases, the people of the Asura Dao are standing, while the people of the Heavenly Dao are lying. The people of the Asura Dao have an iron chain in their hands, and the people of the Heavenly Dao also have an iron chain around their necks...
The people of the Asura Dao are still living like before, but they are more arrogant. The people of the Heavenly Dao, however, are very different from before. They can only lie on the ground like dogs, and their cultivation is sealed. The other end of the chain on their necks is the chain in the hands of the people of the Asura Dao...
In this way, an Asura Dao citizen and a Heavenly Dao citizen walk side by side, just like a person leading a dog...
There are exceptions to everything, and there are always Heavenly Dao citizens who can live here more decently. At least, Huan Yin thinks that this should be the case. But along the way, he didn't see any Heavenly Dao citizens standing like a person. So the exception he thought of may exist, but it is probably too rare.
This is the living condition of the two kinds of people in Shanxian City now, and it is also a true portrayal of their current status. Under the rule of Luohou, the people of the Asura Dao have an absolute upper hand, while the people of the Heavenly Dao can only suffer the slavery of the Asura Dao citizens here, living like animals.
Seeing this situation, Huan Yin couldn't help but feel his blood rushing to his forehead. He had been in the heaven for decades and had seen too many injustices in the four directions and eight heavens, but he had never imagined that the dignified Central Heaven of Shanxian, the core blessed land of the entire heaven, which should have been the best place for all the people of heaven to enjoy the blessings of reincarnation, had now turned into another hell for the people of heaven!
However, Huan Yin did not do anything out of the ordinary after all. It was not that he did not dare, nor that he was afraid of ruining his own plan, but that he had been here for a long time and had seen a lot, so he became numb. The streets were full of such people of the Heavenly Dao. Even if he killed one, two, or even ten Asuras and rescued the people of the Heavenly Dao who were enslaved by them, it was no different from not saving them for the people of the Heavenly Dao on the streets. For the people of the Heavenly Dao in the city, it was even more meaningless.
However, Huan Yin's actions were numb, his eyes were numb, but the fire in his heart burned more fiercely. He secretly swore in his heart that he would never give up until he got rid of Luo Hou!
This trip "home" was smooth except for the ups and downs of his mood. This was inevitable, because Huan Yin had Yan Yang's identity jade card, and no one dared to hinder him no matter where he wanted to pass the teleportation array.
In this way, after nearly two days, when Huan Yin stood at the foot of a mountain, he knew that he had arrived.
The mountain is very big, located on the outskirts of a small town. It is very quiet here, but what is even quieter is that there is only a small and inconspicuous cave on the entire mountain. Moreover, this cave has been empty for many years. If Huanyin had not returned today, this mountain and this cave would probably be lonely for a longer time.
Huanyin knew that this mountain was Yanyang's exclusive mountain, so there was only his cave on it. And Yanyang did not have any servants or spirit children, so if Yanyang was gone, there would be no one here.
Speaking of which, Yanyang likes quietness, but as a senior patrol envoy, he is not without privileges. One person monopolizes such a large mountain, but only opens up a small cave. Isn't this a privilege? However, this also shows how much Yanyang likes quietness.
But Huanyin felt good that there was no one else here. He was afraid that someone would spend time with Yanyang day and night, and now that he has returned in a phantom, he would be accidentally discovered. Now it was obvious that he didn't need to worry about such troubles.
With a flick of his body, Huan Yin was already next to the cave. After removing the outer formation, Huan Yin stepped into the cave.
The cave was not big, and the furnishings were extremely simple. There was nothing extra. It was just for standing, sitting, and meditating, and there were only simple objects that provided these functions.
However, there was one more thing, a fairy spring, located in the center of the entire cave, constantly emitting rich fairy air, so that even if Huan Yin took a deep breath, he would feel that his cultivation was accelerated. Obviously, practicing in a cave is much better than practicing outside.
Yan Yang is obviously a pragmatist and has no hobbies. The function of the cave for him, apart from belonging, is only rest and practice.
No one has come for so long, but everything in the cave is well preserved, clean and bright. It seems that the outer formation has been working for decades.
After Huan Yin casually patrolled a circle, he chose a place to sit down. What a coincidence, at this moment, Huan Yin had just returned and hadn't even sat down when a jade slip flew in with a "whoosh".
