Talk about the world of mortals in detail

The wind pressure was so low that Zheng Yiming felt as if the woman next to him was flying close to the ground. He walked through the streets and alleys of Pingzhou and jumped over the walls and roofs. The center of gravity of his body was rising and falling, and he felt as if he was dreaming.

After finally passing through an alley, Feng took the two of them to the outskirts of Pingzhou City, and then quickly entered the Zhuoyang River. Looking at both sides of the river, there were scattered boats with lights on.

By the time Zheng Yiming wanted to take a closer look, they had already crossed the river and gone away.

It was not until this moment that Yu Xinmei led Zheng Yiming to continue to rise. It was not until this moment that Zheng Yiming truly experienced the feeling of flying into the sky. It was the feeling of soaring up, relying on the wind to control the wind, and overlooking the mountains and rivers!

For mortals, after the initial thrilling feeling subsides, the feeling of flying in the sky is so refreshing.

The evening breeze was blowing, the dark clouds were opening, and the bright moon and stars were becoming more and more visible above our heads.

Zheng Yiming stood in the wind and looked at the earth under his feet, and also looked into the distance. Indeed, the country was in ruins, but the beautiful mountains and rivers were still there. If the world was rebuilt, we could still work hard and reap the rewards.

Looking back at Pingzhou City in the distance, it seems that it is moving away very slowly, but in fact, you can feel that the distance is getting wider every moment.

Yu Xinmei secretly observed Zheng Yiming from the side. Her benefactor's reaction to going to heaven seemed to be different from that of ordinary people. Although she had not taken other mortals to heaven, even if she had this feeling, no matter how much she thought about it, she should be screaming with excitement. That's right.

Perhaps he has experienced ups and downs as well as life and death?

"Mr. Zheng, what are you thinking about?"

Zheng Yiming retracted his gaze and looked to his side.

"I'm thinking that the land is still this land, the mountains and rivers are still this mountains and rivers, and they can still recreate the world and nurture glory."

"You are really different from other mortals!"

When Yu Xinmei said this, Zheng Yiming also smiled and couldn't help but ask.

"What should other mortals be like?"

Yu Xinmei thought for a moment and smiled.

"I haven't taken many people to heaven, but other mortals are probably thinking about gods and becoming immortals, right?"

Zheng Yiming was stunned for a moment, and then smiled himself.

——

Yu Xinmei and Zheng Yiming had left, but the search at the Suping Inn was still continuing. By now, officers and soldiers had surrounded the inn, and even more people had entered the inn.

Many guests staying in the hotel also woke up, and the innkeeper and the two waiters, one large and one small, also came out. Everyone watched the officers and soldiers search with trepidation.

The officers and soldiers only said they were tracking down key criminals and didn't say much else.

It is true that no one was found in the inn, but the inn and the guests staying there did suffer, and it was not just as simple as not being able to sleep well and being frightened.

This group of officers and soldiers were brought into Pingzhou City by imperial envoys from outside. They were not locals at all. They acted without any scruples and acted without mercy. They searched every room in the inn and some customers' personal belongings were also confiscated. He was even taken away.

Before leaving the inn, he also asked for five taels of "people's hard-earned money" from the innkeeper.

After all the officers and soldiers had left, no one in the inn dared to curse a few words in private, and so many people came to the innkeeper to ask for an explanation.

In Waidongdao Village, Xiahe County, outside the same small courtyard as last time, Yu Xinmei and Zheng Yiming landed. As soon as they landed, a dog started barking nearby.

"Woof woof woof" "Woof woof woof woof."

However, Yu Xinmei just glared in the direction of the barking dogs, and the dogs that ran over immediately ran away with their tails between their legs and barked "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooing directions."

The two opened the door and walked into the courtyard. Newton at the fence on the other side also shouted.

"Moo~~~Moo~~~"

Zheng's mother was a light sleeper. She had almost woken up when she heard the dogs barking loudly outside the courtyard. She couldn't help but open her eyes when she heard the cows braying.

Because of the money Yu Xinmei left last time, Zheng's mother has been worrying about it recently. The family suddenly has so much money. Although she has not told anyone, she is still afraid of being robbed. This is her son's wedding. The daughter-in-law’s wife is a bastard!

"Moo~~"

The cow was still braying, and now Zheng's mother had even sat up from the bed and deliberately shouted outside.

“Didn’t I feed you before—stop making noise—”

After the shouting, Zheng's mother listened quietly in the room, but she seemed to hear footsteps. She got up from the bed nervously, went to the table in the outer room and lit the oil lamp with a few quick blows of flint.

"Who, who?"

Zheng Yiming and Yu Xinmei had already arrived in front of the door, and the former couldn't help shouting.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Mother Zheng's nervousness was relieved, and she was overjoyed. She hurried to the door and opened the door for her son.

"Son, you are back, you..."

Mother Zheng's joyful expression froze as he spoke. It was indeed her son outside the door, but behind him, there was a woman in white standing there. Even from a woman's perspective, Mother Zheng had never seen her. Living in the home of such a beautiful and outstanding daughter.

Yu Xinmei felt a little embarrassed when she saw this, and smiled at Zheng's mother.

"aunt."

What should I say? If you tell an old woman that you are a monster, you won't scare her to death, right? Yu Xinmei was a little troubled.

"Son, here, this girl is"

In the middle of the night, her son brought a girl home, and Zheng's mother's thoughts were a little confused.

"Uh oh, mother, this is Miss Yu, she"

Zheng Yiming originally thought of a lot of words in his mind, but when it came to his mouth, he paused. After hesitating and taking a deep breath, he spoke again, but the words had changed.

"Mom, we are in danger of death. My son was framed in Pingzhou. The original imperial examination papers were changed. He was wrongfully imprisoned and said that I bribed the examiner and was sentenced to death. Fortunately, the girl saved him from death. Please pack some clothes quickly, we have to escape from here!"

Mother Zheng looked at her son blankly, feeling at a loss for a moment.

"Oh, mother, look, this is the punishment you receive in prison!"

Zheng Yiming showed his hands. Although he had been treated, the bruises, redness and swelling on his eight fingers were even more frightening.

"Miss Yu is a fairy in the sky. If she hadn't come to save me, I wouldn't have been able to see the child!"

Yu Xinmei on the side was stunned for a moment, but still held back her words.

"Ah? Why, how could this happen?"

Zheng's mother finally reacted and asked her son repeatedly with a tearful voice. Zheng Yi clearly pulled her mother directly into the house.

"Mom, it's better to pack up quickly. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave!"

No matter how hard you accept it, you always have to face reality. Mother Zheng kept asking, and Zheng Yiming kept explaining, but the mother and son did not stop cleaning up.

Even after Zheng's mother listened to her son's experiences a few times, she would stop and bow to Yu Xinmei on the side from time to time, which made her extremely embarrassed.

——

Early the next morning, the sky was cloudy again. Notices had been posted everywhere in the city, and each notice not only explained the situation, but also had a portrait of Zheng Yiming.

The notice directly named the fraud in the imperial examination. Of course, the right and wrong were reversed. Zheng Yiming was the imperial prisoner who challenged the fairness of the court and escaped after failing to bribe.

A group of people gathered at some notice walls in the busy streets, and officials kept reading the contents of the notices, reminding people to report to the government immediately if they encountered someone.

The crowd was talking a lot, and Ke Xiaofa, who was passing by, quickened his pace in excitement.

It turns out that Mr. Zheng escaped from prison last night. No wonder the officers and soldiers came to the inn to search.

Ke Xiaofa hurriedly arrived at a street outside Gongyuan. He took a look from a distance and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the bookstall was still there, and hurried over.

Behind the stall, Yi Shuyuan was still sitting there reading a book and drinking tea. Ke Xiaofa came closer and looked around before speaking.

"Sir, I'm here to return the book on behalf of Mr. Zheng!"

Yi Shuyuan put down his book and looked outside the stall, especially looking around.

"Just you? Where is Mr. Zheng?"

Ke Xiaofa's expression was slightly nervous and he quickly waved his hand.

"Sir, didn't you see those notices? You'd better not mention Mr. Zheng in the future. This is a book he borrowed. He specifically asked me to return it to you before he was taken away yesterday."

Ke Xiaofa put the book on the stall, Yi Shuyuan reached out and flipped through it a few times, nodded and looked at the child, and at the same time took out some broken silver.

"This is Mr. Zheng's income from selling his handwritten books. You can take it."

Xiaofa hesitated for a moment and then took the silver in his hand. There seemed to be several taels.

"Sir, did you really not see those notices?"

Yi Shuyuan smiled.

"So what if I saw it? With Mr. Zheng's situation, how can he have money to bribe the examiner?"

"Then you also believe that Mr. Zheng is innocent?"

Yi Shuyuan nodded, and Ke Xiaofa was even more excited.

"Then if we testify against Mr. Zheng, can we help him rehabilitate?"

Yi Shuyuan did not answer immediately, but sighed slightly.

"The imperial envoys from the imperial court are not here to thoroughly investigate fraud, but to maintain their own interests and maintain the false fairness of the imperial examination. Mr. Zheng has blocked their and many people's path to promotion and wealth. It is in vain for you to testify. His life may even be harmed to Mr. Zheng.”

Ke Xiaofa frowned and said nothing. He carefully put away the money and saluted Yi Shuyuan.

"Sir, I take my leave."

Seeing Yi Shuyuan nodding, Ke Xiaofa was about to leave, but he couldn't help but ask before moving.

"Mr. Zheng said that you have great knowledge, sir. Any doubts you have can always be answered by you, or you can recommend a good book and become enlightened after reading it. However, a good and knowledgeable person like Mr. Zheng is always ignored. If bad people do harm, then where is the justice?”

Yi Shuyuan thought for a while and said.

"As the saying goes, justice is in the heart of the people. It's a pity that you can't get this justice back now. If you ask those corrupt officials for a sling that can kill them, they most likely won't give it!"

Although Ke Xiaofa is young, he actually understands some things. At this moment, he thought of his hometown during the previous flood. Instead of getting help from the officials, they persecuted the villagers. Their family's land deed was lost in the flood. Lai The land on which people could survive became the property of the government and gentry.

"But, but"

Tears welled up in Ke Xiaofa's eyes.

"But people like Mr. Zheng cannot be officials, and those who occupy the court are those kind of people. Is there any hope for salvation in this world? The seven members of my Ke family deserve to starve to death, and the 130,000 households in Xiyong deserve to become refugees. ——”

The young man spoke louder and louder, and the afterimages he had seen flashed through his mind, followed by a roar, as if he wanted to vent the pain and anger that had been suppressed for a long time.

Compared to the people in Pingzhou who seem to have a comfortable life, Ke Xiaofa has experienced too much during his begging in Pingzhou. The flood in his family is not the one in the upper reaches of Zhuoyang River this year, but the disaster in Xiyongzhou the year before last. However, not many people in Pingzhou know about such disasters, and not many people care about them.

"Boom boom boom."

At this moment, there are thunders in the sky.

Yi Shuyuan looked at Ke Xiaofa without saying anything. A vague breath rose from the boy, and his luck was changing.

Because of the roar of the child just now, some people passing by nearby also looked over here.

Ke Xiaofa couldn't restrain his emotions, tears overflowed from his eyes, and then turned and trotted away.

"Wait--"

A call made Ke Xiaofa stop in his tracks. He looked back and saw the gentleman at the bookstall taking a book from the basket under the stall.

"I heard you can read, so I'll give you this book, maybe it can help you."

After hesitating for a while, Ke Xiaofa wiped his tears with his sleeves, ran back to the bookstall to take the book, bowed to the gentleman behind the stall, and ran away again.

Ke Xiaofa ran wildly on Pingzhou Street, and ran faster every time he passed a notice. He ran back to Suping Inn in one breath, and ignored the shopkeeper's call, and rushed directly into the woodshed.

"Wuwuwuwuwuwuwu."

The boy lay in the corner of the woodshed and cried. He cried not only for Zheng Yiming, but also for his former family, his former hometown, and the darkness of the world that he understood at a young age.

Another waiter of the inn walked to the door of the woodshed, hesitated for a while, but still did not disturb Ke Xiaofa. This was the first time he saw Ke Xiaofa, who was always cheerful, crying.

Ke Xiaofa was tired of crying, and then he calmed down. He propped himself up and saw that the book on his chest was wet in one corner.

With sobs that could not be stopped for the time being, Ke Xiaofa casually opened the book and a page of paper floated out from it. He thought he had damaged the book, so he squatted down and picked it up. After a closer look, he found that the paper seemed to be different. There were some little people doing actions drawn on this page.

Looking at the inner pages of the book, the title that was not written on the cover appeared here.

"Wuwei Bingce. Duan Silie, the Great General of Wuwei Thundering Magic Power, Dayong."
