Chapter 710: Sacrifice Your Life for Perfection
Spring goes and autumn comes, autumn goes and spring comes. Li Changxiao is heading north, step by step, passing through many places.
It took him more than five months to cross the Red Region, which was ravaged by strange diseases. He took a carriage, a boat, and walked and rode a horse.
The Red Region was completely devoid of people. Even though it was once a large city, only a few people remained. The disease spread so quickly that it was like an invisible flood, burying the Red Region in an instant.
Countless people were infected with strange diseases and had no way to seek medical treatment. Not to mention ordinary people, even the monks were terrified. Fortunately, Li Xundao, the leader of the Dao Sect, coordinated and helped hundreds of millions of people migrate.
Although Fuyao is a vast world, the Red Region has been infected with a strange disease, and the people there have few options for migration. The Green Region was once a land of foreign races, and it is inevitable that mortals who migrate there will not be able to adapt to the local climate. There are also many historical problems.
The Polar Region is in the far north, with freezing cold winds all year round. Although mortals can survive there, who would be willing to travel through mountains and rivers just to live in such a harsh climate? Therefore, the people of the Red Region can only migrate to the cities of the Ding Region.
The turmoil involved, along with the destiny of the entire human race, was shifted. No matter how big the Ding domain was, it was ultimately just a region. So, Li Xundao, the leader of the Dao Sect, coordinated with various cities and countries to encourage a large number of people to migrate to Lingtian Province.
The Lingtian Three Kingdoms were first-class countries with complete laws and regulations, and were indeed more suitable for receiving the suffering people than the Dingyu. Moreover, the migrating people had limited physical strength, and they could not all rush into Lingtian Province all at once. Instead, they were integrated into Lingtian Province little by little, generation after generation, over a hundred years.
Even so, when Li Changxiao arrived at the Red Region, he was shocked to see the devastation all over the ground. Although the Red Region was dilapidated, it was still inhabited by people, which added a different regional style.
The current Red Region can be called the "Ghost Region". Most of the people who survived looked different. Li Changxiao once stayed in an inn and saw that the innkeeper had a tumor on his head, as if he had two heads. The appearance was terrifying. The other guests were not simple either, and each had their own strange diseases.
Seeing that Li Changxiao was normal, they all looked at him with envy and jealousy. The shopkeeper raised the price, while the others giggled, as if they were happy to see this normal man being ripped off.
When Li Changxiao left the inn, several people followed him secretly. When Li Changxiao reached a mountain pass, the men suddenly jumped out and blocked his way, intending to rob him. Li Changxiao kicked them all away.
The strange things in the Red Region are far more than this. Since the Red Region was ravaged by the strange disease, there was a group of people who cheered and gathered here in large numbers. They were the reformers: sick soldiers. Li Changxiao had a deep memory of this group, and they survived from death.
If warriors are an alternative evolution of cultivators, representing the unwillingness and expectations of countless cultivators, then sick warriors... are the madness after defeat, and symbolize the madness, boldness and lack of taboos of humans in their pursuit of survival.
The sick soldiers gathered and reveled. They were infected with strange diseases, holding bonfires, and running in the red area. Li Changxiao met many sick soldiers and had conversations with them. There was a sick soldier, a young man, who was infected with three strange diseases. His right foot was lame, his left eye was blind, and fish-scale-like things grew on his body, mixed with smelly pus.
There was another patient. He was tall, handsome, and had extraordinary strength. His eyes could penetrate the desert dust and his voice was like a loud bell.
I just think that this world is really not fair at all. Some patients are lucky and have several diseases, but they balance each other, and they live a long life and possess considerable power.
Some are terminally ill and beyond cure.
Although the reform has stopped. However, the way of stealing life, the way of sacrificing life, the way of opening the acupoints, the way of incense... each kind of reform seems to represent the attitude of the human race when facing a desperate situation. Some people sacrifice their lives to survive, and some people steal their lives to survive...
In the fourth month after Li Changxiao came to the Red Domain, he was mistaken for a sick soldier by a sick soldier. He was invited to attend a "big disease fair", and Li Changxiao readily agreed.
That night, a group of sick people came to a dilapidated old temple. They looked different. At first glance, they all looked like demons dancing wildly, not even half normal people. Many of the sick people saw that Li Changxiao looked normal, so they wanted to lift his white clothes to see if there were any tumors or rashes under his clothes.
Li Changxiao took the initiative to roll up his sleeves, and his skin under his clothes was clean and tidy, without any signs of illness. At one time, many patients came to ask what diseases Li Changxiao had contracted and where he had contracted them, and why they were so perfectly balanced.
After a long period of questioning, Li Changxiao made up several strange diseases, and then quietly hid in the corner, watching the patients gather together and discuss pathology and symptoms with each other.
However, a disease can manifest in hundreds of different situations. The more you explore, the more mysterious the disease becomes, and the more people are scratching their heads. For a while, there was a lot of chatter in front of the dilapidated temple. There were two patients who had completely opposite views on the disease, so they fought each other. They punched each other, and the fight was evenly matched. But it was just like chickens fighting each other, and the punches were weak and it was difficult to really hurt anyone.
In the second half of the temple fair, the host of the temple fair served delicious food. The meat in the Red Region was rough and had a fishy smell. In order to solve the fishy smell, the host of the temple fair spent a lot of money to find a black market merchant in the Red Region, bought a lot of special spices, and added enough to cover up the strange smell.
As soon as the dishes came up, they could smell the strong aroma of spices before they even saw them, which made everyone drool and stare at them intently. One of the dishes, the seven-legged fragrant chicken, was the most popular among the group. As soon as the dishes came up, they were all snatched up. Li Changxiao was half a step slower and was not able to grab them faster.
The seven-legged Xiangzhen chicken is a common bird in the Red Region. Li Changxiao has seen it several times. It has seven legs, three heads, four pairs of wings, and no hair on its body. It is covered with large and small lumps and cannot fly. However, it has contracted a "Xiangzhen disease", which makes it emit a special fragrance when eaten.
Especially the seven legs, the meat was firm and full, and it was said that they looked ugly but tasted delicious, and most of the people who attended the temple fair came for this. Fortunately, the person in charge of the temple fair was generous, and seeing that the food was snatched away, he waved his hand and served several large plates one after another. This time, Li Changxiao mustered up all his strength and finally grabbed a chicken leg, hiding aside and chewing it quietly.
