Chapter 8 Reasons

Tanzhou City cannot be found, but Anxi County was easily found.

A small county town looks deserted from a distance, with a disrepaired wall and a closed gate. The official road at the entrance of the city gate is broken and covered with weeds. It should not be the way a county town should look like.

"Who is it human or evil, let me reply!"

When the figures of the three people appeared outside the county town, a panic trembling sound came from it. Several broken bows on the not-so-high city wall were trembling and pointed at the three people.

"You are the soldiers guarding the city?"

Liu Zheng's figure suddenly appeared on the top of the city. Looking at the soldiers in front of him with crooked armor and trembling, he couldn't help but show his doubts and speak out.

"I don't think it's like."

The bearded man jumped up and stood beside Liu Zheng, looking at these guys with his eyes, shook his head and said.

“It’s not like it.”

The dog carried Xu Jun and jumped directly to the top of the city. While getting the dog off, Xu Jun added.

Clang...

In front of Liu Zheng, several soldiers huddled in the corner immediately widened their eyes, and their waists and bows fell to the ground by mistake. Several soldiers immediately knelt down.

"Immortal Master! Three Immortal Masters! The Immortal Master is here, so we kowtowed to the Immortal Master."

"Kowtow to the Immortal Master..."...

Their actions surprised the three of them. The three of them couldn't help but look at each other. Then the bearded man said to the soldiers: "Get up first and tell us why we should worship us?"

Several soldiers who were kowtowing were stunned when they heard this, and looked at each other. One of the elderly said, "Since ancient times, we mortals worship immortal masters, isn't this natural truth? What's more, now there are evil demons and people in the years of catastrophes. It's like a long drought and rain for us..."

This statement contained a huge amount of information and immediately aroused the interest of Liu Zheng and the others.

As they asked one by one, these soldiers explained a lot of things clearly, which also made the three foreign visitors understand the more detailed situation in this life:

The founding of the Great Xu Dynasty only lasted a hundred years ago. It was at its peak of prosperity, but it did not want to undergo a sudden change.

That day, blood rain fell from the sky, the sun and the moon were gone, the black wind roared, the thunder kept ringing, and the stars fell into the world frequently.

Then, strange things happened everywhere, and ordinary people turned into monsters that were difficult to kill. Every incident would make the local government offices frustrated and organized officers and soldiers to encircle and kill them.

Later, more people became evil, and even from a certain person to a certain place, they became evil monsters in collectively. The court had to mobilize troops from all directions to suppress them everywhere.

But ordinary evil monsters can cut hard swords, spears, swords and halberds, and strong bows and crossbows can still be destroyed. That kind of powerful evil monsters makes the court helpless. How many army and army are sent out to be killed by evil monsters? How many immortal masters are invited to eliminate demons and how many immortal masters are there to go but never return.

What is even more terrifying is that the immortal masters who have always yearned for respect and mastered supernatural powers and abilities have made mistakes in their practice, and they have turned into even more terrifying evil monsters one by one.

The little immortal master becomes a little evil monster, and the big immortal master becomes a big evil monster, with almost no exception.

In this way, Da Xu could not hold on anymore, and he could only accept his orders for the evil monsters and turmoil in all parts of the world. The court made such methods as changing the year name to pray for peace, the emperor issued a self-criticism, and crying to the sky.

Fortunately, the evil monsters seem to have no organizational unity and will only wander in the same place. If you get infected, you can be safe and sound only if you are far away from the place where you are infected.

In this way, the world of Daxu was shaking in the bitter wind and rain, and it was so sad that it was 'Juyi' for 16 years'.

As for the reform and reform of the dynasty?

Nowadays, the prefectures and counties in the world do their own affairs. Whether it is a powerful or a yamen, they try their best to live on their own territory.

But this is definitely not for rebellion, but for saving your life as much as possible.

In this world where evil monsters are everywhere and crisis situations are everywhere, it is possible that the tide of evil will break out and turn into evil monsters. No one has the leisure to come out and take on the mess.

The dignitaries and nobles hid in the high walls and shivered, and the peddlers stayed at home and were anxious. Under the threat of evil monsters, the high and lowness of the past seemed to be no longer important, because they could not say when they would become possessed!

"It seems that this is the end of the world, or the end of the feudal era."

"As they mean, there were people who cultivated immortals in the world in the past, that's right. I was almost poisoned to the evil monster they said, and the "Immortal Masters" in this world must have been polluted and turned into evil monsters. Not to mention the small ones we met before, the big one that emerged later might be transformed by a high-level monk in the local world."

"Maybe the three of us are the last 'immortal masters' in this world!"

"It's really unsolvable. People in this world can only wait to die."...

Liu Zheng and the other three ran aside to discuss, all of whom felt sad for the people in this world.

According to the military officer, there is no rule in the matter of "being possessed evil" and it is useless to escape anywhere. It is not that people are infected when they come into contact with evil monsters. As long as they build high barriers to prevent evil monsters from catching them, it is safe. Instead, they will suddenly explode in the places where people gather at any time and anywhere.

It is their conscripts who have to find it difficult to deal with those evil monsters, not to mention ordinary people in this feudal society with extremely low productivity.

Moreover, the "Immortal Masters" who were originally standing on their side also collectively rebelled, which brought greater despair.

There is no way, I can only wait for death, and then I will not wipe my neck or find a way to die without pain.

"Immortal Master! The arrival of the three immortal masters is a sin to be in absent-minded manner."

An excited voice was heard from afar. The soldiers who went back to report the news led several officials to come. The leader shouted and went up the city tower.

"Three Immortal Masters."

The middle-aged man in an official robe bowed respectfully to Liu Zheng and the other two. The officials beside him were the same, and his expression was very excited.

"Are you the county magistrate?"

Liu Zheng looked at the middle-aged man and couldn't help asking.

"The lower official is not the county magistrate. The county magistrate resigned half a year ago and left. The lower official is the county magistrate of Anxi." The county magistrate said, looking at the three of them, his excited expression had not calmed down.

"Mr. County Magistrate, we are not idle either. We come to Anxi County just to check out the county chronicles and maps."

The bearded man said to him, and he had nothing to hide.

"It's easy to say, our Anxi County is based on the immortal master's request. As long as the immortal master can stay here and protect the safety of the area, come and come, the immortal master will be invited, and the officials have prepared food and wait for the immortal masters to come to the table."

The county magistrate smiled and led the way in front.

The three of them exchanged their eyes for a moment and decided to follow.

When he arrived at the living room of the county yamen, there were only four plates of green vegetables on the table. The county magistrate couldn't help but look embarrassed and said, "I hope you don't blame me. The world is really not as rich as it was back then. The land is deserted and abandoned, and the people are afraid. There is no farming past when sunrise and sunset, and there is a shortage of food. Even these side dishes are planted by the officials and their subordinates..."

Liu Zheng waved his hand, shook his head slowly, and said, "We won't eat anymore. Please ask the county magistrate to bring the county annals records, books and other items we need."

"Okay, okay, several immortal masters, please wait."

The county magistrate agreed and went to do business immediately.

Seeing Xu Jun staring at the dishes on the table, the bearded man couldn't help but say, "What do you think? Do you still want to be a savior?"

"No, I can't do it even if I want to."

Xu Jun shook his head, stopped looking, and looked out the door as if he was dazed.

Seeing Liu Zheng sitting there thinking about what he was thinking, the bearded man sighed leisurely: "I have already thought of the ending of this world. We can't change anything. We can do our own thing well, alas..."

After the county magistrate led the people to bring the things, the three of them began to look around, and the county magistrate waited aside to watch.

"Where is Tanzhou City? Why are there nothing about Tanzhou City in these records? There is no place for Tanzhou City on the map?"

After seeing what was in his hand, Liu Zheng frowned and said.

"I haven't found it, so I don't have these three words."

The bearded man put down the county annals in his hand and shook his head.

"No."

Xu Jun couldn't find it, and said two words.

"Tanzhou? There is no such city in the prefectures and counties divided by the original dynasty? Even the previous dynasty has never heard of this city."

The county magistrate heard it and couldn't help but say.

No?

The three of them had their eyes intertwined, and they could see the shock and a hint of anxiety in their teammates' eyes.

"It's true that although the officials dare not boast that they are well-read in poetry and books, they still have a little knowledge of the customs and cultures of the world. No matter whether they were the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, there was never such a state city."

The county magistrate added and said confidently.

For a moment, the three of them were silent, but the bearded man asked the county magistrate: "I dare to ask the county magistrate, I heard someone say that if we get evil, our government can cure it, I wonder if it is true or false?"

Hearing this question, the county magistrate smiled bitterly and said, "After more than ten years ago, the situation in the world had not been so decayed, the court came up with such a strategy. I was afraid that the ignorant people would not report it, so I released the news. In fact, if the evil was caught, there would be no treatment and could only be dealt with as soon as possible."

After saying this, the bearded Liu Zheng and the others understood that they wanted the people to trick them into killing them before they became evil monsters, which would be easier to deal with than becoming evil monsters.

For example, the villager of Xiaowang Village with a fishtail and human body they met before.

Liu Zheng suddenly came up with a solution and planned to try it out, and said, "Since there is no record on the county chronicle map, let's look for the elders in the city to know."

"Okay, go now without further ado."

The bearded man thought this was a solution and approved.

"I also ask the county magistrate to send people to follow us to visit the county seniors."

Xu Jun then added that without the people from the county government to follow, they could get the result, but it would be a waste of time.

"Oh, then let's go with the Immortal Master."

The county magistrate quickly realized his reaction and agreed immediately.
