Starting from the lifting of human restrictions

Chapter 123 Earth God
Reef Village.

"Yang...Brother Yang, why did you become like this again?"

In the shabby room of the wooden shanty, Fang Ah Shui looked at Yang Chu, who was squatting beside the wooden table, with a skinny figure, his face was full of fear and confusion.

"Something happened."

Holding a small knife in his hand, Yang Chu cut open a sea fish in front of him with three strokes, five cuts and two cuts. He didn't care about the possible fishbone at all, just gnawed like that, and said to Fang Ah Shui: "Ah Shui , can you see if the shark meat cooked outside is cooked?"

"It's ready, I'll bring it in for you."

Fang Ah Shui looked at the fish bones all over the place, and there was no distressed expression on his face. These were originally typed by Yang Chu.

When I went out to the small stove at the door, a large piece of shark meat had been cooked for a while. Although there was only a little coarse salt as seasoning, the strong fish fragrance was still pervasive.

He scooped up the fish with a wooden basin, and brought it in to Yang Chu who was in the room.

Yang Chu took the wooden basin, without any unnecessary movements, took a knife, tied up the fish inside, and stuffed it into his mouth piece by piece.

"Then...then Brother Yang, the matter of the two martial arts masters..."

Fang Ah Shui watched Yang Chu gulp down the fish, hesitated for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "Everyone in the village is afraid that they will get into trouble, Brother Yang, you..."

"let it go."

Yang Chu swallowed a large piece of fish in one gulp, paused slightly, and looked sideways at Fang A Shuidao, "Nanhuan Town has been destroyed, almost all the warriors and apprentices in Liuyun Pavilion are dead, no one will come here .”

"Dead... dead? Nanhuan Town was destroyed?"

When Fang Ah Shui heard the news, he was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it, "Then...then there is no Master Wutu to collect taxes?"

"I don't know in the future, I probably can't take care of it for the time being."

Yang Chu quickly chewed another piece of fish, and asked Fang Ah Shui casually, "By the way, Ah Shui, have you heard of the Earth God?"

Returning to Jiaoshi Village from Nanhuan Town, his body was almost too weak to walk, and almost as soon as he entered Fang Ashui's house, he ate a few sea fish that Fang Ashui had only carelessly pickled with coarse salt. , this barely slowed down.

"Earth gods? Brother Yang, are you saying that those earth gods destroyed Nanhuan Town?!"

Although Fang Ah Shui is simple and honest, when he heard Yang Chu's words, his face turned pale immediately.

"It seems you know."

Noticing Fang Ah Shui's face, Yang Chu gulped down the fish soup in the wooden basin, wiped his mouth, his face gradually became rosy, and then continued to ask, "Ah Shui, can you Tell me what is going on with this earth god?"

"I... I don't know much."

Fang Ah Shui swallowed his saliva, and seemed to reveal the color of memories, "I used to say that in the mountains to the northeast of Nanhuan Town, there was an evil god worshiped by the Tufan tribe. Grab it and feed it to the Earth God."

"Huh? Feed it to the Earth God?"

Yang Chu frowned slightly, "What is this native?"

"Just a little savage."

Fang Ah Shui seemed a little scared, "I saw it once in Nanhuan Town, with various patterns painted on its body, green eyes, fierce, and was caught and hanged in the town by master warriors."

"Then how many natives are there now? And what kind of native gods?"

Yang Chu breathed a sigh of relief, ate all the fish meat and fish soup in the wooden shed, put down the wooden basin, and listened carefully to what Fang Ah Shui said.

He didn't think why Fang Ah Shui didn't tell him this information before.

After all, the time was short, and the two of them didn't talk about such in-depth things.

Moreover, the earth gods, earth fans, etc., have actually gradually moved away from the scope of most people's lives.

"I used to hear people from the older generation say that there used to be many native tribes in Dongzhou. And the evil gods they enshrined, robbed our land and food, and even ate people, often captured people and roasted them as sacrifices to their earth gods. not enough."

Fang Ah Shui seemed to be caught in the memories of the past, paused and said, "When I was a child, when my parents were still around, if I ran around, they would be careful to be caught by the Tupan and scare me with words like feeding the Tushen. I."

"Is that so?!"

Yang Chu picked up another sea fish marinated by Fang Ahshui, and cut off a few pieces of fish casually with a knife in his hand, thinking while chewing.

Obviously, he doesn't know enough about warriors and the so-called Dongzhou continent.

However, from the information he came into contact with in the past two days, he gradually figured out some clues.

The residents of Jiaoshi Village or Nanhuan Town should have lived here for several generations, but before that, these people should all have migrated from the "Middle Continent" called sea boats.

Gradually, it took root in the continent of Dongzhou and spread.

Judging from the situation, it may be a bit similar to colonizing wasteland.

And this East Continent is not without aborigines, but is inhabited by barbarians or primitive groups called Tufan that Fang A Shuikou mentioned.

These barbarians and primitive tribes seem to have a tradition of believing in certain gods.

The latter situation is probably the conflict between the immigrants of Central Continent and the local aborigines, and among them, the "warriors" began to wipe out these aborigines and foreign forces such as "evil gods" in large numbers.

"Probably from that time on, warriors, a class like nobles, formed a system similar to sects in the New World, and built a new social system."

Before his death, Nie Yunsheng, the owner of the Liuyun Pavilion in Nanhuan Town, said that the warriors had been besieging and suppressing the Earth God for 300 years, and it seemed that he had an absolute advantage.

And the Liuyun Pavilion is just the most basic administrative organization. In Nie Yunsheng's words, there are also "Eight Heavenly Sects", which are probably the real forces that control the continent of Dongzhou.

"Eight Heavenly Sects, Eastern Continent, Central Continent, Earth God, Martial Arts..."

Yang Chu read these few words in a low voice. After experiencing Nanhuan Town and his party, his understanding of this world deepened a bit.

"Yang...Brother Yang, the death of those two martial arts masters, is...really all right?"

Fang Ah Shui watched Yang Chu eat while seeming to be lost in thought, and couldn't help asking again.

"As long as people in your village don't talk too much, this matter should be over for the time being." Yang Chu replied again.

"Big... everyone will definitely not talk about it."

Fang Ahshui was shocked, said something to Yang Chu, and hurried out the door, "I... I'll go and talk to everyone again."

This matter has actually become a knot in Fang Ah Shui's heart. This day, it is not only him who is worried, but everyone else in Jiaoshi Village is also worried.

But no one really dared to leave Jiaoshi Village to report Yang Chu or something. Under the rule of warriors and warriors, the oppression of the lower classes was very serious. If they failed to pay the heavy taxes they set, they would be treated as adults and beaten to death.

If it was known that a warrior had died in Jiaoshi Village, no one in the village, old or young, would be able to escape.

However, the villagers in Jiaoshi Village have been oppressed to the point of losing their blood. They couldn't even drive Yang Chu to face them, and they all dared to shrink back and sit at home.

It seems to be waiting for that unknown fate to come.

"It's not good, Nanhuan Town... Nanhuan Town... was destroyed by the Earth God."

"Warrior and warrior masters are dead, and the owner of Liuyun Hall is also dead."

"They're all dead, warriors and martial apprentices are all dead!"

……

Not long after Fang Ah Shui left the house, there was a loud shout in the village.

"Uncle Liu, are you telling the truth? Nanhuan Town was really destroyed?"

At first, no one in Jiaoshi Village spoke, only Fang Ah Shui who ran out seemed to be asking.

"It's true. The people from Jiaonan Village and I went to see it the same way. The houses have collapsed and everyone has died."

The shouting voice yelled loudly again.The tone of the voice couldn't be told whether it was excitement or fear, but the voice was loud, as if expressing some kind of emotion.

During the conversation between the two, other voices gradually sounded.

"what?!"

"The fourth brother of the Liu family, is what you said true?"

"All the gentlemen in Nanhuan Town are dead?"

"Fourth uncle, you can't talk nonsense!! Our...our..."

"Quickly make it clear, people are really dead?"

After reaching the back, voices of inquiries continued to come from the houses in various wooden sheds.

Apparently, the entire Jiaoshi Village was in a state of panic when they witnessed Yang Chu killing the two warriors. Now that the news came, everyone couldn't say whether they were happy or apprehensive.

"It seems that the news has arrived."

Yang Chu finished eating a pickled sea fish slowly, and was not surprised by the noise outside.

Nanhuan Town is almost the administrative center of these villages and towns. With such a big event and such a big movement, the news should have spread to the surrounding villages long ago.

It had been a long time since he had returned to Jiaoshi Village that the news came.

but--

Yang Chu shook his head lightly again.

No matter in Nanhuan Town, that emaciated old woman, in order to get revenge, did not hesitate to use the power of the native gods to drag the whole town to die together.

Here in Jiaoshi Village, the fishermen who dared to speak out only when they heard that Nanhuan Town was destroyed, could imagine how terrifying the oppression and exploitation of the lower classes by the "warrior" in this world.

"Strength, strength is fundamental."

Yang Chu ate another sea fish in front of him in two or three strokes, and stood up from his seat.

As far as the situation in this world is concerned, if an individual cannot cultivate the innate unity, he is almost at the bottom and cannot stand up at all.

Under such a social system, ideological emancipation and various organizations will have no effect at all.

The power gap between individuals has reached several times, hundreds of times, or even thousands of times, and all other things have become empty talk.

Even if it is Yang Chu himself, the highest level he can reach now is only comparable to the great achievement of Qi training, and he has little power to contend against the training of gods.

"Understanding the various mysterious forces in this world is the only way to change."

Yang Chu's eyes fell on the two books he picked up in the ruins of Liuyun Hall, and the piece of gold leaf hidden on Nie Yunsheng's body.

He walked over and picked up these things.

Carefully, he took the weird wooden sign picked up from the position of the old woman who was blown into ashes, supported it with stones, and took it out of Fang Ah Shui's wooden shack.

He felt that these few things should have part of the answer he wanted to find.
