There is a vast piece of land outside the Yuqiu City mentioned by the general. In addition to the open space outside the city itself, there are also large tracts of farmland. However, because the weather has not warmed up yet, no crops have been planted on the land.
At dawn, dozens of evil spirits with ferocious looks but not very powerful were escorted to the outside of Yuqiu City. They were basically all monsters and spirits, and there were no demons or ghosts.
But even so, these monsters are basically beings that have refined horizontal bones, and are definitely not harmless characters. If they were placed in normal towns in the past, they would be enough to become a scourge to the people. If they do not submit to the jurisdiction of ghosts and gods, they will be arrested and even killed by ghosts and gods.
At this moment, these monsters, which were ferocious enough to give most children and even adults nightmares at night, were all escorted by the soldiers to the city walls and the foot of the city. There were at least five soldiers holding long weapons pointing at each monster, and in addition to them, teams of shirtless soldiers holding heavy Mo Daos, whose physique and blood were several levels stronger than ordinary soldiers, had emerged.
“Kneel down! Kneel down!”
First, the soldiers pointed their weapons at the monster and shouted orders, and then the entire army glared at the monster and shouted angrily.
"Kneel down! Kneel down!" "Kneel down!" "Kneel down..."
The sound rose and fell and seemed a little chaotic at first, but then it became more and more orderly, gradually forming a unified wave of sound like a tsunami.
To be honest, the sound of thousands of people shouting together is intimidating enough, not to mention that this is an army, an extraordinary army.
At this moment, Ji Yuan walked to the edge of the city wall and jumped lightly, like a slowly rising dandelion, and landed lightly on the tower above the city wall. He looked at the soldiers' slightly ferocious orders below. During this process, the murderous spirit of the entire army was more condensed than before. Those soldiers actually had a strange exchange with the vitality of heaven and earth, which had never appeared in any mortal army that Ji Yuan had seen before.
'To some extent... No, this can be considered a state of cultivation...'
Even among the elite troops of Dazhen who destroyed Zuyue, Ji Yuan had never seen such a phenomenon, and this phenomenon should not last too long. After all, the changes in the aura of these soldiers were not obvious.
At this moment, Ji Yuan suddenly had an idea and looked up at the sky.
The sky began to brighten, and most of the stars in the sky were no longer clear, but in Ji Yuan's Dharma eyes, the light of the Wu Qu star was still faintly visible.
Zuo Wuji, Yan Fei and other warriors who were highly expected by Ji Yuan were able to make breakthroughs, making the Wu Qu Star shine brightly. Originally, Ji Yuan thought that it would have more impact on Zuo Wuji, Yan Fei and others themselves, but now it seems that the Wu Qu Star has indeed boosted the overall fortune of the human race as Ji Yuan had imagined, but this fortune can actually directly affect the martial arts fortune. Originally, Ji Yuan thought that at least the Wu Sha Yuan Gang would need to spread throughout the world for this to happen.
In this way, the rising of the Wenqu star represented by Master Yin should have also affected the destiny of various cultural traditions of the human race. However, it was not only because Master Yin's books spread throughout Dazhen. Before that, the solitary yin could not last, and the solitary yang could not be born.
Ji Yuan looked at the direction of Wenqu Star not far from Wuqu Star, and the light was also not covered. It seemed that the appearance of both Wenqu and Wuqu was in line with the balance of yin and yang, thus directly producing a greater impact on the level of luck.
'Before, the scholarly demeanor of Dazhen was so outstanding, not only because of the good teaching under the guidance of Master Yin, but from now on, I am afraid it will not only be limited to the mental demeanor...'
With a thoughtful look, Ji Yuan looked at everything outside the city again, and his thoughts were much more comprehensive and long-term than before.
This is the twin phase of human destiny.
At this moment, the gates of Yuqiu City had been opened. The people in the city, who had heard the noise and received the news two days ago, came out to watch the upcoming execution.
The area outside the city was large and empty, but the enthusiasm of the people in the city was unprecedentedly high. Not only some busybodies and idle people, but even some businessmen were rushing out, and a large crowd slowly gathered outside the city.
Ji Yuan could clearly see that most of these people had only two expressions at the beginning, namely fear and shock. They watched the monster from afar and did not dare to approach.
But slowly, seeing the solemn and mighty military formation, and seeing the dozens of terrifying monsters and spirits all kneeling at the foot of the city wall, being pointed at by countless spears and machetes, the people's expressions gradually became more serious. Some began to get excited, while others showed hatred towards the monsters.
The executioner certainly couldn't be a commoner in this city, but the general who led this army. He held the command arrow in his hand and didn't need to read any books. He just stood in front of the army. After he had concentrated his energy into his dantian, his voice suddenly exploded.
"These demons and monsters have committed capital crimes and should be punished with capital punishment!"
The soldiers, who had originally quieted down because of the appearance of the people, now struck the ground with their guns, making uniform sounds, and roared in rhythm with the guns.
“Boom” “Boom” “Boom”…
“Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!”…
The murderous voice also attracted the civilians outside the city, and everyone followed the soldiers in shouting and killing. The demons were all suppressed at the foot of the city wall by the momentum. It was not just a psychological factor. Ji Yuan could clearly see where the demons were kneeling, and their knees and even their bodies were slightly sinking.
The general narrowed his eyes at the monster in front of him and threw the arrow in his hand forward.
"Kill without mercy, behead—"
The next moment, the surrounding soldiers held the steel cable tightly together, and the shirtless and burly soldiers surrounding the monster stepped forward together, suddenly waving the exaggerated broadswords in their hands that looked like Mo Dao.
"kill-"
“Puff…” “Puff…” “Puff…” “Puff…” “Puff…”…
Almost all of them were beheaded with one blow. As the heads fell, streams of monster blood spurted out. In the temporary execution ground that was noisy just now, all the people became quiet all of a sudden, like chickens and ducks with their necks strangled, and stared at the scene in a daze.
Not until the demon's head rolled to the ground and the terrible monsters gushing demon blood fell one after another did the people become excited again. Suppressed emotions such as fear and excitement turned into cheers, and people's anger rose rapidly at a visible rate, thus boosting their luck to a certain extent.
'That's pretty clever.'
Ji Yuan commented in his heart that no matter whether this method of beheading demons was thought up by the people in power or instructed by a master, it was a brilliant move, and perhaps it was possible that he was more sensitive to the changes in the destiny of the human race.
There were two monks from the army also on the city wall at this moment. Ji Yuan was planning to talk to them, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea and simply stepped out of the top of the city wall and flew away in the original direction.
To be honest, after seeing the previous situation, although the earth seen by Ji Yuan's Dharma Eye was still filled with evil spirits and the destiny was disordered, at least he was less worried about the human race and more confident in his own "chess skills".
However, the strange thing was that when getting closer to the location where Niu Batian was, Ji Yuan saw more people around him, because he had arrived at a big city where ordinary people lived, and there were many towns and villages surrounding this city, like stars in the sky. It was obviously a relatively safe place in Tianyuzhou.
At such a close distance, with Ji Yuan's nose, he could almost smell a hint of evil spirit hidden in this big city.
Just like usual, Ji Yuan landed outside the city, and then used some transformation techniques, gradually changing his mature appearance to look a little childish, and finally he looked like a scholar who was not yet twenty years old.
Even in this seemingly relatively safe place, it is not so easy for ordinary people to enter the city. The conditions are much more stringent than before. First of all, they have to know who you are, and you must have a customs clearance letter and state the purpose of entering the city. Your personal belongings may also be checked.
But of course these had no effect on Ji Yuan, and Qingsong passed this hurdle. When he leisurely followed the crowd into the city, he found a low small temple next to the city wall on the side behind the city gate. The statue of the god inside should be the local land god, and the power of incense on it was also very strong.
However, it is obvious that the ghosts and gods here do not know that there are some powerful monsters hidden in the city. At least it is definitely not just Niu Batian here. Although it is almost inaudible, Ji Yuan's nose has already smelled several different demonic auras.
It was noon now, and the first-floor hall of a restaurant was crowded. A middle-aged man who looked as honest as a farmer was occupying a large table alone, eating heartily. There were so many dishes on the table that the table could hardly hold them all, so no one wanted to share the table with him, after all, there was no place to put the dishes.
Niu Batian was eating and drinking when he suddenly felt someone sitting down opposite him.
"Hey bro, can I sit here?"
Niu Batian looked up and saw a delicate and tender scholar, and said impatiently.
"Don't you see the table is full of dishes? Are you going to eat mine instead of ordering anything? That's fine. Just pay for half of the dishes for me and call me Uncle Niu, then you can sit down."
The young man opposite smiled, nodded and shouted directly.
"Uncle Niu."
Lao Niu was stunned. He didn't expect that this well-mannered scholar could be so shameless.
"Alright, alright, sit down. I won't ask you to pay the bill. You look so poor and don't have much money. You don't need me to carry the dishes for you, right?"
"No, no, Uncle Niu, you eat. I have my own chopsticks."
As he spoke, the young scholar reached into his sleeve with his left hand and took out a pair of neat bamboo chopsticks. It was this action that made the old cow, who was drinking, pause slightly and immediately became alert.
I didn't detect any fluctuation of magic power or even spiritual energy, but ordinary people, especially scholars, can put money, handkerchiefs and purses in their sleeve pockets, but it is impossible for them to put a pair of chopsticks. Either this person is weird, or he is very likely not an ordinary person!
