eng hammered his fist down, deciding the matter with finality: "That's it, let the patrolmen take Liu Zihao and the others away. As the God of War, I cannot lead by example in breaking the rules. Ever...Chapter 1271: Departure
Chapter 1271: Leaving
This phrase was originally used to describe people who were old but lacked virtue.
Today, placing it here is quite fitting because the people of Changsheng Town were not originally like this. After spending too many years in Fengdu, all their kindness was erased. Their state wasn't that of thieves, but at its core, the reason they wouldn't perish stemmed from something else entirely.
Live long and prosper!
The old woman heard this, she smiled bitterly and shook her head. She also admitted that what Ye Fusheng said was right, but what could be done even if it was right The fact remained the same.
Ye Fu Sheng pondered for a moment before asking, "Grandmother, since you've been here for thousands of years, enjoying everything there is to enjoy and exhausting all your emotions, why not choose to reincarnate"
The old woman said, "Of course it's hard to let go, I can't bear to part with it, and I can't forget it. There's a saying that it's better to live than to die. Once you reincarnate, it means completely ending the previous life. Although life in the underworld is monotonous, it's worry-free in terms of food and clothing. Psychologically speaking, there's always the comparison with those outside the city."
“But if you enter the cycle of reincarnation and return to the mortal world, whether you can still be rich and powerful is not something we can say for sure. After all, after a hundred years in the mortal world, you will return to the City of Ghosts. If you are unable to return to Changsheng Town, then you will be reincarnated for generations to come. It's better to be eternal in Changsheng Town than to go back and forth endlessly.”
As soon as the words left his mouth.
Ye Fusheng slowly stood up, walked to the door, pushed it open, and looked at the gloomy gray sky outside. He felt a deep touch in his heart.
Not merely the underworld, but also the mortal realm.
If there were a place of longevity in the mortal realm, what would it be like
In the mortal world, martial arts and cultivation can extend one's lifespan. Those with high realms live for centuries. But if we were to promote martial arts and cultivation throughout all of Daxia, turning the entire land into a place of immortality where everyone lives for centuries...
Then what would happen to Xia
"Doesn't seem like a good thing."
Ye Fusheng muttered silently.
If someone truly lived for hundreds of years, it wouldn't be hard to imagine that they would be similar to the residents of Changsheng Town. At that time, let alone the development of Daxia, I'm afraid even maintaining order would be a problem.
From the perspective of human evolution, death is not a bad thing, but a good thing. Only with endless reincarnation can each stage of life's journey be especially precious, so death must exist!
Just then.
"You... what's wrong with you"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
Ye Fushen's thoughts were interrupted. He turned his head and saw the old woman staring at him in astonishment. He glanced down at himself and couldn't help but be taken aback.
Then, to his astonishment, a faint purple glow appeared in both hands, resembling fireflies landing on them. As he slowly raised his hands, the weak light flickered and dimmed intermittently.
Bang!
The old woman suddenly bent her knees and knelt on the ground. It wasn't that she wanted to kneel, but seeing this pale purple light made her uncontrollably want to submit.
"The Emperor's Qi"
Ye Fu Sheng looked for a long time before daring to confirm that these lights were exactly the same as those when he had made his grand vow, his state of mind had broken through, and when he had condensed the faith of all the people.
When was it the belief of all people, why did light suddenly appear now.
Could it be that mortals are worshipping me
"No."
Ye Fu Sheng quickly denied it, saying if they were going to worship, they would have done so long ago. There had been no strange occurrences before, and now that something had happened, it must be related to what just occurred.
It should be a breakthrough in mentality.
Ye Fu Sheng finally confirmed, although what he said sounded like the seller of melons bragging about their own produce, it was undeniable that his current state of mind was truly different from before.
Before, I would feel pity when thinking about birth, aging, sickness, and death.
At this moment, there is more.... This is an objective law.
He raised both hands to his eyes, and the lights slowly disappeared, entering his soul and making his spiritual form appear more distinct. Of course, it was only a slight improvement, hardly discernible to the naked eye.
"Back then, I had just entered the Half-Step Human Emperor Realm. It seems like it's improved a little bit"
Ye Fu Sheng smiled, very clearly understanding that only a slight improvement wasn't enough to reach the realm of a proper substitute, even falling short of reaching the level of a stage-based substitute.
Though it's true that unexpected gains are possible within the City of Ghosts, they are not easily obtained.
Retrieving her thoughts, she saw the old woman kneeling on the ground. She quickly ran over and helped her up: "Grandma, why are you kneeling"
The old woman's soul trembled constantly, unable to meet Ye Fusheng's eyes. At this moment, she felt as if her kindness had been misplaced. She thought she was just being kind by saving a mud carp by the river, but it turned out to be... like saving a dragon.
"Please sit down."
Ye Fusheng helped her to a seat and sat down on the other side, asking, "Mother-in-law, may I ask, are you also from this Changsheng Town Why are you different from them Not only did you not take pleasure in me, but you even saved me"
This is also quite strange.
Her actions have transcended humanity.
The old woman trembled again, glanced weakly at Ye Fusheng, and truthfully said: "I plan to enter the reincarnation and start anew, so I saved you."
Ye Fusheng was even more surprised. According to what had been said before, although Changsheng Town was dull and boring, at least there was time, memories, and enough food and clothing. Once entering reincarnation, it would be a complete severance.
The old woman saw Ye Fusheng's doubt and took the initiative to explain: "Have you noticed that in this huge courtyard, there is only me"
"A while ago, my home was bustling with people, quite lively. But suddenly, they all entered the void, leaving me alone. I've been holding on for a long time, but I can't bear it anymore, so I decided to enter the void as well."
Ye Fusheng couldn't help but be astonished. If his guess was correct, her descendants should have suddenly become... ... Otherwise, it would be impossible for everyone in this Siheyuan to enter nothingness.
As for her not entering…
"I did some good deeds in my lifetime, so my portrait has always been around. It must be for this reason that I can sleep peacefully."
The old woman explained proactively, paused for a moment, and then said: “After you leave, I’ll go to the Reincarnation Bureau.”
Ye Fusheng nodded slightly.
Then, the two continued to chat.
Since the outside environment wouldn't change, Ye Fusheng couldn't tell time at a glance. He could only silently count in his heart. After about an hour, he decided to leave.
I initially intended to ask the elderly woman to buy a dress for me, as it was too eye-catching. Suddenly, remembering her family's prosperity in the past, I asked her for one. And wouldn't you know it, putting on this deep blue silk robe with the longevity symbol made a world of difference to her demeanor.
To fit in, he washed off the dirt from his face that he used for disguise, borrowed rouge powder, and made his complexion very white, even putting on two rosy cheeks.
At this moment, he was so transformed that even Qin Mulan might not recognize him!
"Mother-in-law, you were a kind person in your lifetime. You did good deeds in the underworld. This reincarnation will surely be a wealthy and noble family, with a happy and worry-free life."
Before Ye Fusheng departed, he bid farewell to everyone.
The old woman was still a little wary, and carefully said: “Thank you for your kind words. I also hope that what you wish to accomplish will be successful.”
Ye Fusheng cupped his hands in a gesture of farewell, then turned and left.
With this attire, the journey was indeed much smoother. Although people still looked at him on the roadside, it was just out of curiosity as to why they had never seen him before, and no longer with the dead stare that treated him like an alien.
About three quarters of an hour.
Now we can see the archway to Changsheng Town. Just cross it, and we'll be out of Changsheng Town...re all out helping with the disaster relief, they haven't returned yet."Ye Fusheng was taken aback. They went to help with the disaster relief primarily as a source of spiritual support. It had been s...
