Chapter 434 Breaking in
After talking about the coffin, Xiao Yan looked at Yunying and asked.
"Miss Yun, what is the matter with coming to Black Horn Region this time?"
"I told Mr. Xiao that our family is in the funeral business, but our family has been developing in secret before, so not many people know about it." Yunying shook her fan lightly and said slowly: "In the past two years, the family intends to put the family business on the table, so they ordered us to come to Black Horn Region to explore the way first, and the coffin can be regarded as a stone cast by the family to ask the way."
It is true that the Black Horn Region used to be a place where the weak are preyed on by the strong, but due to geographical reasons, the business is definitely very good. No matter how outrageous the things are, they may be encountered in Black Horn Region, so Yunying's words have no loopholes.
"But when we first arrived at the Black Horn Region, we suddenly found that the Black Horn Region had changed a lot. It felt like two completely different places." Yunying smiled faintly, "If our guess is correct, this should be all the credit of Mr. Xiao, right?"
Live and work in peace and contentment, these four words are the most intuitive feeling that the Black Horn Region gives to outsiders now, and two years ago, these four words would never be related to the Black Horn Region.
This kind of thing is definitely not something that can be presented by just doing superficial work.
"It's not about credit. I just used my actions to tell these residents that they can have another way of living. As for the people who make the final choice, they are still themselves."
Xiao Yan said this, with a melancholy look in his eyes.
Different environments create different people. Many people are not born willing to be strong and weak, but the environment he lives in is full of the law of the jungle, and he only knows this way of living.
No matter what others think, Xiao Yan will never think that he is the savior of the Black Horn Region. He just lets these residents see another way of life out of his own righteousness. The real choice is still the people living on this land.
If everyone truly pursues the law of the jungle until death, no matter how many ways Xiao Yan thinks of, it will be useless. It can be said that the choice of the people on this land is the most important fundamental thing that can be changed in the Black Horn Region.
"Mr. Xiao is too modest. In just two years, the Black Horn Region should be changed to what it is now. Even if we know so many strong people, I am afraid that no one can do it."
Yunying smiled softly, which is indeed the truth.
This matter is not just about being strong, but also requires empathy with the weak from the heart.
And this empathy ability is simply impossible for those strong people.
Hearing Yunying's words, Xiao Yan shook his head lightly and said.
"It's not that those strong people can't do it, but they don't want to do it."
Xiao Yan is very self-aware. Even if he can fight Dou Zong alone with the body of Dou Wang, he is just an ant in the eyes of those real strong people.
There is no reason why those strong people can't do what even an ant like him can do.
Therefore, it can only be [not wanting], this [not wanting] is not only unwilling, but more of not having this cognition. In their concept of the survival of the fittest, helping the unrelated weak will not benefit them in any way, that's all.
Even now many people in the Black Horn Region, including those residents, cannot understand why Xiao Yan wants to help them, the weak.
"Miss Yun, if you have nothing to do next, can I take you around the Black Horn Region?" Xiao Yan invited with a smile, "I want Miss Yun to personally experience the righteous path I want to achieve."
Yun Ying unfolded her folding fan, squinted her eyes and smiled in response.
"I am happy to agree."
Xiao Yan stood up and left the room, Yun Ying also stood up and followed him, looking at Xiao Yan's back, with a dark glow flashing in her scarlet pupils.
She took on the commission to assassinate Xiao Yan because she was bored, and never thought that this young man would bring her surprises again and again.
Let the Black Horn Region abandon the survival of the fittest, not to mention that it is difficult to do, even saying it is impossible.
But Xiao Yan really did it.
Yunying has seen everything Xiao Yan has done in the past two years, watching him change the entire Black Horn Region step by step in order to fulfill his righteous path.
Thinking of this, Yunying's eyes flashed with jealousy and resentment, although it was so deep, but it was hidden so deeply.
(You have tried so hard to save these residents who are deeply persecuted by the law of the jungle.)
(But at that time, the one who saved me was not you, nor your righteous path, but the concept of the law of the jungle.)
In the past, Xiao Yan promoted the righteous path so vigorously, and Yunying just felt that Xiao Yan was becoming more and more interesting, without too many other complicated emotions.
However, when seeing that the Black Horn Region was completely changed by Xiao Yan, Yunying's mood actually rippled a little.
Seeing those residents of the Black Horn Region who had lived the same miserable life as herself, but now could show a smile from the heart, Yunying suddenly felt a little jealous and a little resentful in her heart.
What emerged in her mind were those scenes of being forced to become stronger in the past.
Why can they be saved, but I have to go through that painful experience?
"It's really unfair."
"Huh?"
Hearing Yunying's vague murmur behind him, Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at her in confusion.
"Miss Yun, what did you just say?"
Yunying looked at Xiao Yan's pure black eyes, narrowed her eyes slightly, hiding the jealousy and resentment in her eyes, and responded with a smile.
"Nothing, just talking to myself."
Well, it's useless to mention the past.
I'd better wait and see what kind of changes Xiao Yan will bring to this continent next~
Jama Empire, Yunlan Sect.
Yun Xiao sat on the steps bored, shaking her two short legs, pouting and looking unhappy.
She didn't know why everyone in the sect was very busy these days, even Zijing went to help her mother with some official business, resulting in Yun Xiao now unable to find anyone to play with her.
The most important thing is that not long after she slipped down the mountain last time, Yun Yun said that she would not let her go down again, and without Zijing's help, Yun Xiao had no hope of sneaking out on her own.
This was not Yun Xiao's imagination, but the conclusion drawn by Yun Xiao after she planned to escape eighteen times, but was caught by the disciples of Yunlan Sect before she even stepped out of the sect.
At this moment, Yun Xiao hoped that she could become stronger. If she had the strength of brother Zijing, who else could stop her from going down the mountain except her mother, Grandpa Yunshan and Aunt Ziyun? Not even Grandpa Yun Leng!
After sitting for an unknown amount of time, Yun Xiao couldn't sit still any longer. However, she couldn't go down the mountain, so she could only wander around the sect out of boredom.
"Oh, right! Wasn't there a place that my mother didn't let me go to before?"
Yun Xiao's eyes sparkled, and he clapped his hands and remembered something, and ran in one direction with his short legs. Not long after, Yun Xiao came to a tightly locked courtyard. Usually, there were two disciples guarding here, but these days, because many disciples were sent to the border, there was no one guarding here for the time being.
Yun Xiao looked at the three characters on the plaque at the gate of the courtyard, tilted her head and stared for a long time, but couldn't understand what they meant.
After all, she was just a child under two years old, and no one had taught her yet, so how could she recognize the characters?
What's more, what was written on it was not important to Yun Xiao at all.
Yun Xiao climbed up the steps with some difficulty, looking at the heavy door lock hanging on the gate, her little nose slightly tilted, and her eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
It was locked, and with her current height, she couldn't reach the lock even if she jumped, and she couldn't open it even with the key.
Yun Xiao's black eyes gurgled, as if she was thinking of some bad ideas. She looked around, and finally her eyes were shining. She fixed her eyes on a few green bamboos leaning against the corner outside the yard. Then she ran over without hesitation, hugged the bamboos tightly with her two short hands, and clamped her two short legs on the pillars after hugging them tightly. Her small body was attached to the pillars like a caterpillar, crawling upwards little by little.
It must be said that Yun Xiao was smart, but also really wild. She was sweating profusely, but she gritted her teeth and climbed for a few minutes. When she was about to run out of strength, she climbed to the height of the yard wall. She shook her small body slightly and jumped off the green bamboo, and barely lay on the eaves of the wall to stabilize her body.
"Hu~~~"
After confirming that his body was stable, Yun Xiao raised his short hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then glanced again and saw the green bamboo against the wall in the yard in front of him. He then crawled over bit by bit like a caterpillar, and stood up carefully after reaching the place. He jumped hard and grabbed a green bamboo tightly, slid down smoothly, and sat on the ground.
"Ouch!"
Yun Xiao cried out in pain, rubbed his sore little butt with tears in his eyes, and then stood up and scanned the yard.
This yard looks very big and empty, with only a gate like a stone tablet standing at the end of the yard.
If Yun Xiao knew how to read, he would know what this is from the plaque outside the gate.
The place where the successive masters of the Yunlan Sect have trained, the Gate of Life and Death.
Although there are disciples guarding outside the courtyard on weekdays, it is actually just a routine matter and has no great significance. The disciples all know what the Gate of Life and Death is, and no one rushes in like they are afraid of death.
But it happened that no one was on duty today, and Yun Xiao happened to sneak in again.
Yun Yun and the others probably didn't expect that Xiao Xiao could be so wild that she could sneak in by climbing bamboo.
"What? There is obviously nothing fun."
Yun Xiao put his hands on his waist, curled his lips and looked unhappy. He had taken a lot of effort to climb in, but there was only a black gate here.
But since he had already come in, he might as well go over and take a look. Maybe there is something fun inside.
With this thought in mind, Yun Xiao trotted to the Gate of Life and Death, and put his little hand on the Gate of Life and Death with curiosity in his eyes.
Then, something strange happened.
The deep black gate suddenly emitted a dazzling white light the moment Yun Xiao's hand touched it. When the light faded, Yun Xiao had disappeared from the courtyard without a trace.
Yun Xiao closed her eyes instinctively because of the strong light in front of her. When she felt the strong light faded, she opened her eyes and saw a dense jungle. Rabbits, squirrels and other cute and petite animals were running around in the jungle, and the melodious sound of birds was lingering.
After a long pause, Yun Xiao was full of excitement.
There is really fun here!
Yun Xiao pouted her mouth in anger.
Mom is a bad person. She didn't tell Xiao Xiao about such a fun place before!
Then Yun Xiao smiled and happily chased the rabbits and squirrels in the jungle. From time to time, she climbed up the tree to catch the singing birds and had a lot of fun.
In Yun Xiao's heart, after just staying here for a while, she immediately ranked the places she came into contact with in her heart according to the degree of fun.
The mountain is the most boring, the mountain is very fun, and this place is the most fun!
Without the control of others, Yun Xiao chased all kinds of small animals in the jungle. Watching the colorful insects flying in front of her eyes, this was a new world for her who spent most of her time in the sect.
However, Yun Xiao didn't know that this was the Gate of Life and Death.
Or even if Yun Xiao knew about the Gate of Life and Death, she didn't know the meaning of the Gate of Life and Death before she was two years old.
Simply put, anyone who enters here will die.
Just as Yun Xiao was playing happily, the crisis came quietly.
It was a lion, with black mane, a mighty body, and a terrifying aura.
A fifth-level magic beast, a black-maned lion!
The golden pupils stared at Yun Xiao who was sitting there playing with the small animals through the bushes. The huge body approached step by step, but almost made no movement.
Yun Xiao didn't feel anything, but the small animals that were already close to Yun Xiao seemed to feel something. Their fur stood up and they screamed and fled from here. Only Yun Xiao didn't react.
What happened? Why did everyone run away?
Yun Xiao's little head was filled with question marks. At this moment, she heard a strange gurgling sound. She turned her head and saw the terrifyingly huge body of the black-maned lion in her sight.
For a moment, Yun Xiao's mind was blank.
Perhaps it was the predator's natural ferocity that made Yun Xiao, a child under two years old, unable to think at all. She stared blankly at the black-maned lion opening its bloody mouth to her. It only needed to close it gently to swallow Yun Xiao into its stomach.
It was also at this time that Yun Xiao came back to her senses. She was shaking violently, but she could not move and could only watch.
Yun Xiao died in the next moment!
At this critical moment, a cold light suddenly flashed from the center of the black-maned lion's face, and then in Yun Xiao's dull eyes, the black-maned lion's body slowly split into two halves with blood, and blood and smelly internal organs were scattered all over the ground, which looked very scary.
After the two halves of the black-maned lion fell to the ground, Yun Xiao saw a person standing behind the black-maned lion. Her long pink hair was stained with blood and she was holding a long sword covered with thick blood scabs. Her cherry-colored pupils revealed a fierceness several times stronger than that of the black-maned lion. She stared at Yun Xiao, who was sitting on the ground, as if she was looking at prey.
The young master of the Yunlan Sect, Nalan Yanran!
Nalan Yanran came out of retreat!
