Chapter 421 This World Shouldn’t Be Like This

The shop owner, who endured it again and again, finally couldn't hold it back anymore and asked, "How did you make peace with Qingshuishan?"

Chen Chao glanced at the shop owner weakly, shook his head, and said softly, "There will be no more Qingshui Mountain from now on."

Chen Chao said this calmly, but the shop owner looked at the young martial artist in front of him with horror on his face, "What do you mean there will never be Qingshui Mountain again?!"

Chen Chao did not hide it and said bluntly, "If I were not afraid that she would not be able to survive after her death, I would have brought back the head of Master Tianyi."

This sentence made the shop owner feel like he was struck by lightning.

Chen Chao had previously said that he was going to go up the mountain to kill people, but according to the owner of the shop, the best outcome was actually for Chen Chao to go up the mountain and kill a few monks from other places, so that the Qingshui Mountain monks could settle the matter, but they never expected that Chen Chao would actually go up that night. What he was doing was to exterminate the family, but a Qingshui Mountain had been deeply rooted in Qingshui County for many years, and Chen Chao alone could uproot it?

The shop owner didn't quite believe this.

But looking at the young man in front of him, he felt like he was lying. .🅆.

Chen Chao exhaled a breath and said softly to the little girl's body, "No more children from Qingshui County will be made into so-called medicinal fruits."

The shop owner took two steps back in disbelief and murmured, "It's really done!"

Chen Chao ignored the shop owner and just wanted to pick up the little girl's body and leave.

The shop owner suddenly knelt down to Chen Chao solemnly and kowtowed heavily, "Confucian scholar Yang Yan, I would like to thank my Taoist friend on behalf of the people of Qingshui County."

Chen Chao shook his head and said softly, "Actually, it should be considered a matter of responsibility. If you live like this, I am the one who should apologize."

The shop owner was startled, then thought of the identity of this young martial artist, and asked in shock, "Is your fellow Taoist a military attaché of the imperial court?"

It should be so if you think about it. If it were not for the military attache of the imperial court, at this age, I am afraid that he would never be able to destroy Qingshui Mountain.

Chen Chao helped him up and nodded without concealing, "I work as an errand in the Shendu Yamen."

The shop owner sighed. He actually understood the difficulties faced by the court. In such a big Liang Dynasty, countless monks from outside the country did not regard human life as human life, but the court still had to face the southern invasion of the monster clan from the north. With the world like this, it was no longer easy. But who doesn’t want to really have a peaceful world?

Chen Chao was not going to say anything more and said goodbye to the shop owner.

The shop owner said, "You don't have to be obsessed with inner demons. You are ashamed of this little girl, but you saved the people of Qingshui County."

Chen Chao shook his head and said, "It's not the same thing."

"Comparing one person to the people of a county?"

The shopkeeper is here

Try to make Chen Chao think about it and stop being affected by his inner demons.

Chen Chao said, "There is no difference. This is not a multiple-choice question."

The shop owner sighed and said no more.

Chen Chao left the study with the little girl's body in his arms, and then slowly left the city.

Many people noticed this sword-wielding warrior along the way. Thinking of last night's news, not many people's eyes stayed on Chen Chao. Now it is only the people of Qingshui County who don't know what happened. If they know, they can only I'm afraid that the long street will be filled with people kneeling at this moment.

That battle will be bigger than the day the general left the capital of God.

Chen Chao didn't have the time to think about this. After leaving the county town with the little girl in his arms, he headed back the way he came. The body of the little girl's mother had also been thrown into the river and could never be found again. Now he could only He found a place to bury the little girl. As for the local county guards and envoys, he would naturally write back to the capital and tell Song Lian what to do next, and what the virtues of the new county guards and envoys were. It's not something he can control. Although he went up the mountain alone last night and killed a mountain of monks in Qingshui Mountain, he also knows how difficult it is for one person to change the world. Even someone as powerful as Emperor Liang couldn't do it perfectly, let alone a warrior like him who had only just stepped into the realm of the other side.

Most things in the world are actually just helpless.

Chen Chao was a little stunned.

Later, in a small town near the border of Bailu Prefecture, Chen Chao found a coffin shop and asked the boss to make a coffin. Then he personally carved an unattractive grasshopper on the coffin.

A few days later, he carried the coffin back to the ferry.

The boatman was resting on the river bank and saw the young man carrying the coffin who had left and returned. He remembered chatting with him at the bow of the boat and had already thought of something, but in the end he said nothing and just sighed.

Some people, if they don’t cherish them at the time, may have seen them for the last time, and will never see them again if they want to see them again.

Chen Chao stood at the ferry, stunned.

This was where he and the little girl parted ways. He crossed the river to Huanglongzhou, while the little girl and her group headed down the river bank to the hinterland of Bailuzhou.

Chen Chao didn't know where the little girl came from in Bailu Prefecture, and he couldn't send her home. It was a chance encounter, but now it became deeply involved, which Chen Chao didn't expect.

Standing at the ferry for a day, many passengers looked at Chen Chao strangely, but when they saw Chen Chao

After holding the knife on his waist, no one dared to come forward and talk to him.

Knowing that it was getting late, the boatman approached Chen Chao, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you want to cross the river? No money."

It took a long time for Chen Chao to come back to his senses and just shook his head.

The boatman sighed, probably knowing that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary person, so he just left alone in the end.

Chen Chao turned around and went up the mountain.

In order to find the little girl's trace, he had killed many monsters in the nearby mountains. Now, when walking in the mountains and sensing his breath, the monsters were extremely quiet.

They were even afraid of making any sound and attracting the killing god to attack again.

Chen Chao walked all the way to the top of the mountain.

He put down the coffin in a place with a great view.

Here you can see the ferry at the bottom of the mountain.

Then he started to dig a pit in silence.

Soon, Chen Chao put the coffin in it, pushed open the lid of the coffin, put down the grasshopper made of wild grass in his arms, and looked at the pale face of the little girl. Chen Chao whispered, "Big brother didn't do well enough."

"You should grow up happily, meet the man you like, get married and have children."

"At the very least, you should live a peaceful life."

Chen Chao talked a lot in a low voice until midnight, then he stopped, looked at the little girl in front of him, and said with some guilt, "This world shouldn't be like this."

Then Chen Chao closed the coffin and covered it with soil.

Then he erected a monument.

Finally, he stood in front of the stele, silent for a long time, and then slowly drew out the broken knife from his waist.

Turned and went down the mountain.

Soon, the screams of monsters were heard.

One after another, all night long.

That night, Chen Chao killed all the monsters within a radius of hundreds of miles.

…

…

After doing all this, Chen Chao finally returned to this small tomb, sat on the ground, and covered his face with his hands.

…

…

Shendu, Nanhu Courtyard.

Xie Nandu raised his head and looked at the maid Liu Ye who had returned from going out.

Liu Ye came under the eaves and said, "Miss, the court report."

She handed over the court report in her hand, and then stood quietly aside. Since Xie Nandu entered Shendu, she has developed the habit of reading the court reports summarized and sent back to Shendu from all over Daliang every month. Although she is aiming at the north, she is unwilling to miss what happened in Daliang Dynasty. I think she will even

know more about what Daliang is like now than many officials of Daliang Dynasty.

As for the official report, it was naturally sent by Xie's side. With the power of Xie's family, there are spies all over Daliang. It is natural to want such an official report. It is worth mentioning that Xie Nandu's official report is not an ordinary official report, but as detailed as the official report that Xie's ancestors read. In the entire Xie family, only Xie Nandu has such treatment.

Xie Nandu took the thick official report, and he was not in a hurry. He reached out to take a piece of preserved fruit from the bag of preserved fruit beside him, and then began to turn it slowly. This official report has a summary of various places in Daliang, once a month, and the amount of information is huge. Needless to say, she takes at least two hours every time.

So she is not in a hurry, just slowly turning it, and reading all the big and small things that happened in Daliang this month bit by bit.

"Go bake it."

Xie Nandu lowered his head, eating preserved fruit, and said casually.

Liu Ye just nodded and was about to get up to light the stove. Xie Nandu thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, you can't bake that flavor."

Liu Ye was startled, and then said a little aggrievedly, "Miss, why can't I bake that flavor?"

Xie Nandu didn't say anything, just said, "Bring a pen."

Liu Ye didn't dare to neglect it, and soon got up and went to the house to get a pen and ink. Xie Nandu took it and began to annotate this official report.

This is also her habit all the time.

Time passed slowly and silently, and soon the thick official report was almost finished.

Xie Nandu turned to the last page.

Then frowned.

The last page didn't say anything, but only mentioned that there was a cultivation sect called Qingshui Mountain in Qingshui County, Bailuzhou. It has always been the largest sect in Qingshui County and actually controlled this county city of Daliang Dynasty, but now it was destroyed overnight.

If others saw this, they would probably only think that it was a feud between non-Buddhist monks. This kind of thing is not new and happens frequently.

But Xie Nandu noticed the last line of small words in the official report.

"Then I went up the mountain and saw that there were only corpses on the mountain road. On the top of Qingshui Mountain, the main hall was broken. The mountain master Tianyi Zhenren was beaten to death, leaving only a ball of meat. It is said that earlier, someone saw a young warrior in black entering the city. After that, Qingshui Pavilion in Qingshui County became a ruin. After that, the young warrior left the city in the night. Qingshui Mountain was destroyed on this night."

Xie Nandu raised her head. She knew that the so-called young warrior in black must be Chen Chao without thinking much. But she soon murmured with some doubts, "Why did you do this?"
