Chapter 209: Long Drought without Rain
"revenge?"
Hearing Ye Qingyang mention these two words, a flash of fire flashed in Zheng Pingkang's eyes, but it quickly extinguished.
His expression returned to its original state, he shook his head calmly and said, "No need."
Fang Chen glanced at him in surprise, and he could guess what he was thinking, but he didn't expect that within a few months, his mood would reach this high.
You must know that when he agreed to become his subordinate, it was for revenge.
"Eh? Why?"
Ye Qingyang was puzzled. Now that he had the opportunity for revenge, how could he miss it?
In front of him, the Lingshui Sect was just a chicken and a tile dog. He could easily destroy the Lingshui Sect, and even destroy the mortal kingdom controlled by the Lingshui Sect and restore the Tian Kingdom.
It can also increase the sphere of influence of the Immortal Dynasty.
In the world of cultivation, this kind of thing is rare and common.
"When I first regained my intelligence, my heart was indeed occupied by hatred. However, after calming down, I have been thinking about a question, which is who should I take revenge on?"
Zheng Pingkang described the change in his mentality in a calm tone.
"Isn't this simple? Lingshui Sect, the mortal kingdom supported by Lingshui Sect, and other sects and countries that invaded Tian Kingdom, can't they all become the targets of your revenge?"
Ye Qingyang really didn't understand what was so good about this, so he directly listed all the forces related to Tian Guo's demise.
"Did the Kingdom of Tian perish because of them?"
Zheng Pingkang raised his head and looked at Ye Qingyang calmly.
"Of course not, it's because no new foundation-building monks were born in Caomu Valley... I understand what you mean."
Ye Qingyang was the original actual controller of Tianfeng Sect, so of course he knew the real reason for Tian Kingdom's demise.
There were no new foundation-building monks born in Caomu Valley that managed Tian Kingdom, so the Qi training disciples in Caomu Valley and the mortal kingdom they controlled were divided among several surrounding sects.
If the Feng Kingdom hadn't bordered the Tian Kingdom, maybe Ye Qingyang would have led the Tianfeng Sect to get a share of the pie.
And he also understood what Zheng Pingkang wanted to express. The Lingshui Sect ordered its subordinate mortal cities to occupy the Tian Kingdom. They themselves did not send monks to massacre the mortals. They just ensured that the land was occupied by the mortals of their own sect and then left. .
It is the mortals who kill innocent people.
According to Fang Chen's story, he killed all the generals and soldiers who killed innocent people in Huanglong City, leaving no one alive.
In this way, Zheng Pingkang really couldn't find anyone to take revenge on.
"Before, I always regarded the disciple of Lingshui Sect as my enemy. I thought it was him who broke through Huanglong City, otherwise I could still defend it for a while..."
Zheng Pingkang spoke again. It was normal for him to think so. When those mortals were attacking the city, there was indeed a Lingshui Sect disciple who was watching everything.
It was like watching a play, watching the mortals on both sides fighting for their lives.
In Zheng Pingkang's original impression, it was this Lingshui Sect disciple who finally broke through Huanglong City.
But that was what he saw before he died, and after becoming a soul, the memory before his death was not completely restored.
"Now that I think about it, Huanglong City itself had been breached at that time, and the Lingshui Sect disciple just threw a fireball into the sky to cheer up."
Zheng Pingkang smiled bitterly. In fact, after recalling this, it was difficult for him to accept it.
But this is the fact. Although in the eyes of the Lingshui Sect disciple, the mortals fighting on both sides were just a farce, he did not take action against the mortals.
Zheng Pingkang is not stingy enough to take revenge on him just because of this.
"This... then he did abide by the principles of a monk and did not interfere with mortal affairs. However, no one thought that you, fellow mortals, would be so cruel. After capturing the city, you actually carried out a massacre."
Hearing what Zheng Pingkang said, Ye Qingyang could judge based on his own experience that the Lingshui Sect disciple had indeed done nothing wrong.
"Old Ye, what you said is that there are not many times when monks have been fighting each other to the death. Human nature is like this, whether it is a monk or a mortal, it is the same."
Only then did Fang Chen speak, with a slightly mocking and helpless tone.
"That's true."
Thinking of Sun Han who was killed by him some time ago, Ye Qingyang couldn't refute, sighed and agreed with Fang Chen's statement.
"Under the management of the Fire Cloud Sect and the Feiyun Sect, both monks and mortals were divided into different identities, and the friction and contradictions between them gradually turned into feuds, which eventually led to the tragedy of the Tian Kingdom. Therefore, I now agree more with the City Lord’s philosophy that all monks and mortals should become citizens of the Immortal Dynasty and resolve frictions and conflicts before they escalate. Perhaps this is the only way to reduce the occurrence of this situation. "
Zheng Pingkang also felt this and said a long paragraph.
"Is that so?"
Ye Qingyang touched his chin and thought about the logic.
"It's not that simple. Even if everyone has the same identity, they will still fight each other for interests, but the form may be milder. I can only say that it may be better than fighting to the death at every turn."
Fang Chen was not trying to break Zheng Pingkang's belief, but was just preparing him mentally in advance.
The root of all problems is production and distribution.
The problems in the world of cultivation are very troublesome, and it will not be because a certain immortal dynasty or sect unified the world of cultivation, and then all problems will disappear.
That's obviously impossible.
If Zheng Pingkang holds such an idea, his belief will inevitably collapse in the future.
"Thank you for the city lord's teachings."
Zheng Pingkang also knew that Fang Chen was reminding him, and he kept these words in mind.
"Okay, if you are interested in these, we will talk about it in detail after I come back from the alliance ceremony. Now, we have to hurry to Lianyun Mountains."
Fang Chen patted Zheng Pingkang's shoulder like Ye Qingyang just now.
"Yeah!"
Zheng Pingkang nodded heavily.
After saying goodbye to him, Fang Chen and Ye Qingyang also flew on the sword and left Tianfeng Fairy City.
In fact, Ye Qingyang used the ghost cultivation secret method to float in the air, which was a little faster than flying on the sword. However, after all, he had to take into account the image of Tianfeng Sect, so he chose to fly on the sword, which was more familiar to all cultivators.
It took Fang Chen two months to go from Lianyun Mountains to Jueling Swamp last time.
Of course, he didn't use all of it to travel, and he also traveled in the mortal world. This time, he had already established his foundation and was traveling at full speed. In less than twenty days, he reached the range of Lianyun Mountains.
It can also be clearly felt that the concentration of spiritual energy has risen to a higher level.
It seems that even if the third-level spiritual vein is damaged, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and it can still release a lot of spiritual energy.
"Something is wrong."
When he could see the Lianyun Mountains from afar, Fang Chen frowned and shook his head secretly.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Qingyang, who was walking with him, also discovered this situation and asked curiously.
"Have you noticed that since yesterday, we have rarely seen green plants along the way. The earth is red and yellow, and many small rivers have dried up."
Fang Chen also told what he found.
"It's a drought, isn't it normal?"
Ye Qingyang said nonchalantly.
"It's not normal. You may not come here often. I am very familiar with the climate of the Lianyun Mountains. This area is a rainy place. There are occasional floods, but I have never heard of a drought."
Fang Chen shook his head. He, or the original owner, grew up in Lianyunfang City since he was a child and was very familiar with the climate nearby.
In any case, this kind of drought climate should not occur.
"Maybe it's just abnormal this year, there's no need to care."
Ye Qingyang still couldn't understand why Fang Chen cared about such an insignificant thing.
"Just think of it as my curiosity. I remember there's a village ahead. Let's go over and ask what happened."
Fang Chen didn't argue with Ye Qingyang. In fact, what concerned him most was not the drought, but the fact that he didn't even see a single person along the way.
This gave him a bad idea.
