191|No Sorrow or Joy White Clothes Woe to this World

Xie Ren didn’t know if he was awake or asleep.

If he was awake, he didn’t react to anything in the outside world, and he had no memory of it, if he was asleep, but he kept his eyes open.

By the time he came to his senses, Bai Wuxiang had already placed the black sword on his waist and, like an elder rewarding a child, said, “This is my gift to you.”

He said, patting the hilt of the sword, meaningfully and gently said, “It is definitely sharper than the ones you collected before and the ones Jun Wu gave you.”

Xie Ren let him put on his sword, did not say anything, and did not resist. Because any resistance is useless.

With this, he put on a new outfit, wore a new sword, and dragged a body as if it were newborn, toward the darkness of the Crown Prince’s Palace. Bai Wu Xiang said behind him again, “Wait.”

Xie Ren stopped in his tracks. Bai Wu Xiang came to his side without a sound, put a white silk into his hand and said, “You forgot this.”

It was the same white silk that he had used to cover his face before, and then had been bound with.

Xie Ren, alone, staggered down the mountain.

It was already daytime, and the sun had come out, but when the sun shone on him, Xie Ren didn’t feel warm at all.

On his way down the mountain, he saw a small stream, ding dong ding dong, very clear and lively. Walking to the edge of the stream, the stream reflected his appearance, Xie Ren stared at the pale face.

The face was smooth and white, not a scratch on it, and so was the neck, so then the chest, stomach and all the rest must be too. But after looking at it for a while, he couldn’t look at it any longer, and buried his head to scoop up a few shovelfuls of stream water, wash his face, and take a few more sips. As he drank, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something upstream.

He slowly raised his head, only to see not far away from the upstream bank, next to a large stone, fell a body, look at the clothes, it is the man who sells art.

The man did not go down the mountain, but died on the road, and there was an extraordinarily obvious pool of blood on the boulder, which looked like it had been killed by hitting the rock in pain or fear. The body was rotten, half soaked in water, emitting a foul odor, not moving, but the half rotten face gave birth to a few small deformed human faces, still squirming and opening and closing.

Xie Ren flopped down by the stream and tore his heart out for half an hour, vomiting until he saw blood.

After descending the mountain, he walked for a long time, wandering aimlessly through the streets. Suddenly, a hand slapped on his shoulder and grabbed him into an alley. When Xie Ren turned around, before he could see the other person’s face, he first saw an oncoming fist, “Where have you been all these days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Behind the fist was Feng Xin’s furious face, and by the time Xie Ren saw it, he had already fallen to the ground with a thud from the punch.

Feng Xin also did not expect him to be knocked down so easily, look at his own fist, then look at the ground Xie Ren, froze for a while, before going to help, Xie Ren has already climbed up by himself. Feng Xin’s face changed, still didn’t ease down, and added: “You have a big fire, you ran out after saying a word, and you haven’t seen a trace for two months! But do you know how worried His Majesty and the others are?”

Xie Ren wiped away the nosebleed that soared from his face and said, “I’m sorry.”

Seeing the blood on his face getting dirtier and dirtier the more he wiped it, Feng Xin heaved a sigh and said, ”Your Highness! I’m sorry even if it’s okay, it’s really meaningless for us to say this, but you …… what’s wrong with you? What in the world have you been doing for so long? What is it in the end that you can’t say to me?” He noticed the black sword that Xie Ren was wearing on his waist and added, “Where did you get this sword?”

Xie Ren was about to say. However, thinking of the argument he had with Feng Xin before he left, the hesitant look on Feng Xin’s face at that time, and those experiences he didn’t even want to think about anymore, he just said again, “I’m sorry.”

The two returned to their original hiding place, and as soon as the Queen saw Xie Ren, she hugged him and cried out. The lord of the country looked quite old again, originally looking for gray hair in a head full of black hair, but now looking for black silk in a head full of flowery white hair. However, he didn’t rage much and didn’t open his mouth after a few simple words. Probably afraid that he would get excited and run away again for ten days and half a month without seeing him, the three people were careful with him between words and mannerisms.

“Windsong.”

After a simple to humble meal, Xie Ren unclipped the black sword on his waist and handed it over, saying, “This sword is for you, take it and pawn it off.”

Feng Xin sensed that his hand with the sword was trembling, but not guessing why it was trembling, said, “Why do you want me to pawn it off?”

Xie Ren said, “Didn’t you ask for money before.”

At those words, a look of hurt suddenly flashed across Feng Xin’s face, and then, shaking his head, he said, “It’s not necessary now.”

Xie Ren stopped talking, threw the black sword aside without bothering about it, and fell back to sleep.

This time when he came back, Xie Ren acted as if nothing had happened, hoping to return to his original state as soon as possible and strive for business as usual. Soon, he went out with Feng Xin to set up a pose and sell his art.

Originally, Feng Xin was still not quite at ease and said, “Forget it, you’d better rest for two more days.”

Xie Ren said, “I’ve rested for almost two months. If those sellswords come to trouble you again, the two of us will be able to handle it.”

Instead, Feng Xin said, “Those who sell their art have long since stopped coming.”

It was not because the original peddler had died and there was no one left to lead him, but because Feng Xin had been stationed here for a long time. When he first arrived, people still felt fresh, but after a long time, people had almost got over the freshness, and looked at him no differently from other local sellers. Compared to the past, Feng Xin lost his competitiveness. After not being a threat, the other entertainers stopped looking for trouble from him. Anyway, everyone earned the same amount of money, they were all the same.

Therefore, no matter how hard Feng Xin tried to shoot arrows and how exquisite his archery skills were, the number of people who came to watch and offer rewards was still less than half of the original. Not even one tenth of the original number. After half a day, Feng Xin was so tired and sweaty that he sat aside. Xie Ren said, “It’s my turn.”

Windsong said, “No, right?”

Xie Ren, however, went up. Once they saw that there was a new person, the pedestrians became interested again and said, “What is this little brother’s specialty?”

Xie Ren did not reply, picked up a branch and started to perform a set of swordsmanship. Although she was holding a branch, her swordplay was beautiful, and the sound of the breaking wind carried the sharp intent of the sword, so there were some people who rewarded her by shouting their approval. Feng Xin watched from the sidelines with a complicated expression, and turned his head away after watching for a while.

Xie Ren had no sense of shame or psychological burden and continued to make the sword seriously. At this time, he suddenly heard a man in the crowd shout, “Not pretty, not pretty! It’s ugly as hell! Who wants to see you poking around with a tree branch?”

Feng Xin stood up all of a sudden and drank, “Watch your mouth!”

Xie Ren’s movements condensed slightly and looked over. He saw a man in the crowd eating melon and spitting seeds, obviously a spectator. He called out to Feng Xin, “I came to see the show! Say what you want to say, how dare you, a reward collector, care about our reward? Change your sword! I’ll consider whether or not to reward you with a few pennies if you come up with a real sword!”

As soon as he shouted, the others followed. Feng Xin was furious and was about to strike when he saw a flash of white shadow, Xie Ren had already appeared beside the man, grabbed him, and threw him up high.

He struck, the power is strange, that idle man was thrown by him to fly up a few feet, melon skin landing, shocked the crowd are open mouth. And that person “bang” sound, heavy landing, seven bleeding, screaming loudly, however, Xie Ren has not stopped, go up and grab him again, calmly said: “real sword no, really want to life want to see?”

The crowd of onlookers were so frightened that they ran in all directions, saying, “Someone come! Help! Murder!”

Feng Xin was even more alarmed, “Your Highness!!!”

Xie Ren turned a deaf ear, ready to throw the idle man a few more feet and let him fall to the ground, when Feng Xin went up and pressed him down, forgetting even to conceal his identity, roaring, ”Your Highness!!!! You wake up! This man is going to beat you to death!!!”

Xie Ren’s pupils in the black fire wildly burning, a slap away from his hand, the man pressed into the ground. The idle man’s legs stretched out, no longer moving, Feng Xin pounced up and was about to probe his breath when he heard someone at the end of the street say in a shrill voice, “That’s them! Over there!”

Bad! The Yongan soldiers are coming!

Feng Xin drew his legs and ran, but when he saw Xie Ren still standing still, staring at those Yongan soldiers, seemingly wanting to go up and fight, he folded back and pulled, saying, “What are you still standing for, run!”

The two of them hid all the way before escaping and returning to the hideout hut. As soon as they entered, in front of the queen, Feng Xin shouted away, “How could you do such a thing?!”

The original Feng Xin, naturally, would never have dared to be so reckless in front of His Two Majesties, but after wasting away for so long, many things had long since changed. Xie Ren said to the queen, “Go back to the house.”

Queen Wang said, “Royal son, this is exactly ……” Xie Ren said, “Go back to the house!”

The Queen wanted to ask but didn’t dare to and went back to the house. Xie Ren turned to Feng Xin again, “What did I do?”

Feng Xin said angrily, “You’re going to beat that man to death!”

Xie Ren retorted, “It’s not like he’s dead. And so what if he’s killed?”

“……”

Feng Xin was stunned, “What did you say? What do you mean, so what if you beat him to death?”

Xie Ren said, “Who let this pariah seek death? Looking for death I’ll fulfill him, what’s wrong with that?”

As if stunned by his use of words, for a while, Feng Xin said, “He …… is guilty of a crime, but it is not enough to kill him ah? Hit him with a slap and forget it, just this sentence should die?”

Xie Ren interrupted him, “Yes. If he dares to say that, he will have to pay the price.”

“……”

Feng Xin said incredulously, “How could you say such a thing?”

Xie Ren said, “What words?”

Windsong said, “You wouldn’t have used the word pariah before. You never said the word.”

Xie Ren said, “What exactly do you mean? I’m not a god, can’t I be angry or hateful?”

Feng Xin choked, half a moment, barely squeezed out a few words, “I do not mean that, but in any case, it is not so ……”

Xie Ren didn’t want to hear any more, didn’t talk to him anymore, and went inside by himself, slamming the door heavily.

Just as he closed the door, he cried out and knocked himself onto the bed.

Self-deception! He’s simply fooling himself!

In any case, there is simply no way to pretend that nothing happened and go back to the way it was!!!!

In the evening, someone knocked on the door, Xie Ren thought it was a wind letter and should not be answered. It was only after a long time that he heard the Queen’s voice say, “Emperor’s son, it’s mother. Let mother come in to see you, okay?”

Xie Ren wanted to lie still, but after lying there for a long time, he still got up and opened the door, saying wearily, “What for?”

The Queen carried a plate and stood in the doorway, saying, “The Emperor’s son hasn’t eaten anything, has he?”

Xie Ren looked at her and held back for a long time before she could hold back the sentence that had already risen to her throat, “I haven’t eaten and I don’t want to eat what you’ve made”, and sidestepped to allow her mother to come in. The Queen put the plate on the table and said, “Look.”

When Xie Ren took a look, he was so angry that he simply wanted to laugh and said, “What is this?”

The queen said as if offering a treasure: “Look, this, is the ‘Bizarre Pill’, and this, is the ‘Flowering Goodness Soup’ …… “

The one called Biyi Lianzhi looks like a corpse with two lives, and the one called Hua Hao Yue Yuan is simply uneven, so Xie Ren had to interrupt her and say, “How come these things also have names?”

The Queen said, “Don’t all dishes have to have names?”

Xie Ren said, “That’s the imperial food in the palace. No ordinary person names a dish.”

Palace, imperial meal, ordinary people. The Queen paused for a while and laughed, ”There is no one who stipulates that it has to be an imperial meal in order to have a name ah, just think of it as a figure of luck. Come, have some? Mother spent a long time making this for you.” Said handing over chopsticks. Xie Ren, however, did not smile, nor did she move her chopsticks.

The Queen smiled and sat there for a while, her smile gradually slowing down as she said, “The Emperor’s son, ah.”

Xie Ren said, “What.”

The Queen said, “Why did you quarrel with Feng Xin again?”

Xie Ren didn’t want to explain at all, and didn’t have the strength to do so, saying, “Just stay in your house and don’t worry about this.”

The Queen hesitated for a moment and said, “Mother knows that she probably shouldn’t say it, but these days that you’re not here, it’s this child Feng Xin who has been looking after …… you.”

Xie Ren said, “Mother, what exactly are you trying to say?”

The Queen was busy saying, ”Emperor’s son, don’t be angry, I’m not accusing you. It really isn’t, I know that it’s hard for you too. I’m just saying that it hasn’t been easy for this child Feng Xin to stay with us and follow you. I can feel it, it’s not that he didn’t want to leave, but he stayed until today, all because he was thinking of your love ……”

Hearing this, Xie Ren stood up with a huff and said, ”Who’s easy again? Am I easy? Mother, you guys don’t have to ask, okay, you guys don’t understand don’t get involved, okay!!!”

Seeing him grab the door and walk out, the Queen panicked, got up and chased him out, saying: ”Imperial son, where are you going? I won’t say any more, mother won’t say any more! You come back!”

Xie Ren snapped, “I know! It’s not easy for everyone, don’t worry! I’m going to make it easier for everyone!!!”

The Queen couldn’t keep up with him, and in a short while she was thrown off. It wasn’t until late in the evening that Xie Ren came back with a few bags, and as soon as he opened the door, everyone was awake and waiting for him, their faces all looking bad. Xie Ren closed the door with his backhand and said, “What’s wrong?”

The State Lord seemed to have already counted the Queen, her eyes were still red, when she saw Xie Ren come back, she took a long breath and forced a smile, “Imperial son, you’re back! I will never ask more questions in the future, don’t suddenly turn around and leave, if there’s anything mother will definitely listen to you ……”

Everyone was afraid. They were afraid that if he turned around and left, he would not be seen for another two months or so. Xie Ren, however, said, “You guys are thinking too much, I’m not leaving. You guys just go in and rest.”

After the Lord and Queen of the country had both gone inside, there was a moment of silence, and Feng Xin said, “Even if I ask you where you’ve been you’re not going to answer, are you.”

Xie Ren didn’t say anything and threw the bags to the ground with a crisp sound. Feng Xin said, “What is this?”

Xie Ren opened the bag and turned it upside down, shaking off a large pile of gold and silverware from inside, almost reflecting the entire room. Feng Xin stood up at once and said, “Where did you …… you get this from?!”

Xie Ren didn’t even lift his head, sitting on the ground and counting while saying, “There’s no need to be like this. It’s just a trip to a big family in the city. Don’t worry, no one will find out.”

Feng Xin’s eyes widened, “You! ……”

Remembering that the Lord and Queen of the country were still next door, he lowered his voice and said, “You steal?!”

Xie Ren said, “You don’t need to look at me like that. It’s not easy for everyone, and it’s much easier with this.”

Windsong said, “Then you can’t steal anything, can you? We can sell our art!”

Xie Ren said, “How much money can you earn from selling art in a day of exhaustion?”

Feng Xin took two steps backward, it was the first time that Xie Ren had seen this expression of being on the verge of passing out on his face.

Feng Xin easily stood still, making sure that he hadn’t misheard the words, and muttered, “You, how did you become like this now?”

Xie Ren raised his head and asked rhetorically, “What does it look like?”

Feng Xin said angrily, “I don’t want to talk about you! Look at yourself what you are now! I’ve stopped asking you about the robbery, why have you gotten worse?!”

Xie Ren sneered and said, “Sure enough.”

Windsong said, “What fruit?”

Xie Ren stood up and said, ”You really have always remembered the robbery. You wanted to ask me, but you were too embarrassed to do so, weren’t you? You’ve imagined what’s going on a thousand times in your mind. No need to think, I’ll tell you.”

He took one step, forced himself in front of Feng Xin, and said, “It’s true. I robbed.”

Feng Xin was forced by him to take a step backwards and said, “You ……” He took another step forward and whispered angrily, “We have lived such a hard life, for what? If you are willing to do this kind of thing, we would have done it long ago, why do we have to endure until today? What is this considered by you! A foregone conclusion? Are you still the Crown Prince you once were?!”

Xie Ren said, “Yes , why do we have to suffer until today?”

Feng Xin was stunned. Xie Ren added, “What was the old me like? Did I not return curses? Did I fight back? Did I not measure up to my own strength? Save the world? What was this? Isn’t that a dumbass? Do you think it’s good to be that stupid? Do you think I have to be that me? And when I’m not, you’re devastated, aren’t you?”

Feng Xin was shocked, “Are you crazy? Why did you say that?”

Xie Ren said, “You’re wrong. I’m not crazy, I just suddenly came to my senses. And then realized that the old me was the one who was crazy.”

“……”

Feng Xin muttered, “How did you get like this? When did you become like this? I, I really don’t know, I’m like this, what am I following you for anymore ……”

Xie Ren said, “Then don’t follow.”

Windsong hadn’t responded, “What?”

Xie Ren said, “I say, don’t follow then.”

With that, he slammed the door.

It was two hours later that there was a sibilant movement from outside the house, and the low sound of talking.

It seemed to be Feng Xin and his father and mother saying goodbye. Feng Xin’s voice was extremely low, the Queen choked on her words, and the Lord of the Country said little, coughing mostly. Not long after, the door opened, the door closed, Feng Xin’s voice disappeared, and the footsteps were far away.

Windsong is gone.

Xie Ren shut in the house, wooden and expressionless, half a long time, closed his eyes.

Finally gone.

Ever since Muyi left, Xie Ren had been dreading this: that one day, Feng Xin would leave as well.

Because of too much fear, today, Xie Ren could no longer bear to be tormented by this fear.

Instead of slowly consuming it, like a slow knife grinding slowly all those kindnesses and friendships a little bit to wear out, and finally look at each other, hate each other, it is better to explode a little bit earlier, right at this moment!

Before Feng Xin left, he was afraid. And after Feng Xin left, he wasn’t scared at all.

But, although he wasn’t afraid anymore, he was in more pain.

Originally, Xie Ren still held a million percent expectation in his heart, expecting that even if he admitted to doing something he shouldn’t have done, even if he turned out to be as bad as he was now, Feng Xin would still stay. After all, ever since he picked Feng Xin as his personal attendant when he was fourteen years old, the two of them had almost always been like a shadow. It was a master and slave, but even more so, it was a close friend. Other than him, the crown prince, Feng Xin didn’t have any objects that he needed to care about. At most, he piggybacked on the country’s lord and queen.

But Windsong is really gone.

Xie Ren had long guessed this outcome and could completely understand such a result, but he still couldn’t stand it a bit for the time being.

At that moment, the Queen’s voice came from outside the silent house.

She said: “Emperor’s son, I’m sorry.”

“……”

Xie Ren rose from the bed, opened the door, and went out, saying wearily, “It’s none of your business.”

Both the Queen and the Lord of the Land sat at the worn out table. The Queen said, “It was Father and Mother who dragged you down, asking you to do bad things for us, and making you fight with Feng Xin.”

Xie Ren forced a smile and said: ”What’s wrong with that? Aren’t stories of robbing the rich to help the poor everywhere in the legends? It’s good that Feng Xin is gone, and it’s easier when he’s gone. It’s easier for both sides. You guys heal your illness first before saying anything else, tomorrow you can buy the best medicine.”

Instead, the Lord of the Land glared at him and said, “I don’t need this money.”

The Queen secretly tugged at him. Xie Ren said, “What do you want?”

The lord of the country coughed a few more times and said, “You …… go and get the wind letter back. I don’t want the money.”

Although the Queen tugged at him, she also said, “Yes, you go after Windsong. He is your most loyal squire and your good friend ……”

Xie Ren said, “There are no more loyal retainers. Just take the money and use it, don’t ask about anything else. As I said, you don’t understand these things.”

There was a long silence, and finally, the Queen said, “I’m sorry, Royal Son. Father and mother can see that you are struggling very hard alone, but both father and mother are only mortals, and there is no way to help you a bit, and you have to take care of it.”

Xie Ren didn’t have the strength to say more, casually consoled and perfunctory a few sentences, sent them back to the house. In order to clear her head, Xie Ren removed the bandages and all the clothes, took a haphazard bath, fell asleep, slept until she got up the next day, and said in a dazed state of mind, “Why didn’t Feng Xin call me?”

It was a while before he remembered that Windsong was gone.

Xie Ren rolled over and sat up, fumed for a while, and then remembered something.

Even if Feng Xin is gone, but where are his father and mother? How come his father and mother didn’t come in either?

Usually at this time of the day, the coughing of the Lord of the Land could be heard long ago, and the sound was uninterrupted, but today it was extremely quiet.

For some reason, Xie Ren felt a burst of uneasiness, he put on his clothes and got out of bed, grabbed two handfuls and grabbed an empty handful, realized that the white damask that he had put on his face was gone, pushed open the door of the next house, and said, “Mother, have you seen my ……”

As soon as he pushed the door, his pair of pupils instantly contracted into two very small dots.

His white silk was found.

The white silk, hanging above the sorghum, still dangling two motionless old man figures, had long since stiffened.

It’s his father and mother.

Xie Ren suspected that he was still in a dream, swayed, barely holding onto the wall, and still swaying around, he didn’t hold onto it and slid down the wall.

He sat down on the floor, covering his face with his hands, and with a sudden burst of breathlessness, he cried and laughed and laughed and cried, saying, “I, I, I, I, I ……”

And after a while of incoherence to no one in particular, he added, “No, no. I, wait, I, can’t, I ……”

Eventually, unable to speak a complete word, he turned and screamed, slamming his head against the wall a dozen times.

He should have thought of that. What a curmudgeonly, old-fashioned monarch his father was, and his mother was the kind of mother who simply couldn’t see her loved ones suffer, especially if it was for them. Both were pampered aristocrats, and it was a miracle that they had actually lasted this long.

After hitting his head against the wall a few hundred times, Xie Ren muttered, “Feng Xin, my father and mother are gone.”

Nobody’s listening.

That’s when it occurred to him to put down the bodies of his parents. After putting them down, Xie Ren seemed to be out of things to do, walking around the house, seeing that there were still a few plates of cold and ugly dishes on the table, which he didn’t eat last night and let the Queen take away. Now, he picked them up in a six-fold manner and ate them all, not daring to miss a single dish for fear of missing a grain of rice. When he had finished eating he began to vomit again.

Suddenly, Xie Ren grabbed the white silk and threw it onto the beam, putting his neck into it.

A gust of suffocation hit him, and yet, he was always awake. Even if his eyes were bloodshot and his neck bones were clicking, he was always awake. Moreover, I don’t know how, hanging hanging, that white silk actually automatically loosened. Xie Ren fell heavily on the ground, and in his dizziness, he realized that the white silk actually automatically, as if a poisonous snake, slowly coiled up.

This thing, after all, had given birth to its own spirit!

It was infused with mana, had been stained with Xie Ren’s blood, and had hung two royals-if Xie Ren would die, that would be three. Such a white silk, carrying such a deep resentment and evil aura, it would be strange not to be an elf.

The little elf that had just come into the world had no understanding of the desperate circumstances under which he was born, and happily swam towards the person who had given him his spirit, as if expecting an intimate gesture, but Xie Ren’s eyes were not there for it at all. He held his head and roared, “Who! Someone kill me!!!”

He just hoped that someone would come and take his life immediately, and help him free himself from this endless pain and suffering!

It was at this moment that a heaven-shaking sound of gongs and drums came from the distance. Xie Ren gasped for air, his eyes bloodshot, thinking: who? What is it?

Some force drove him to stagger up and go out to check. After walking for a long time, he finally realized that it was the celebratory sound of Yongan’s new establishment, the relocation of the imperial city to the capital, and the completion of the new palace.

The whole world is celebrating together! The old folk of the Immortal Bliss Kingdom were now all cheering for Yongan. On the streets, the smiles on everyone’s faces were so bright and familiar. Xie Ren remembered, during the Shangyuan Sacrificial Heavenly Tour, the people of Xianle Imperial City cheered like this as well.

Xie Ren stumbled back again and sat paralyzed on the floor.

Why did he have to see the laughter of the “Yongans” while the body of the King and Mother of Senryaku was lying at his feet?

Xie Ren buried her face in her hands, crying and laughing, hahahahaha, whimpering.

Half-heartedly, he said cheekily, “It’s not that easy.”

A voice flashed through his head: the sphinx plague, a resentment …… The method of creating the sphinx plague is ……

A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly softened his voice, saying, “You guys don’t want to be good.”

His face looked like he was crying, like he was laughing, like he was happy, like he was sad, and he slowly stood up along the wall, saying, “Yongan, Yongan? I don’t think so. Never! I, curse you all. I curse you all! I want all of you to die out, die out! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!”

Laughing, Xie Ren rushed out like a gust of wind, and when she passed that mirror, she suddenly gave a start and turned back violently!

The man in the mirror had completely changed his appearance.

He wore, not the white Taoist robe that had been washed until it was worn out, but a snow-white mourning room with large sleeves. His face was no longer his face either, but a sad, happy face that was half-crying, half-smiling!

If it was the Xie Ren from before, seeing himself in the mirror at this moment, he would have screamed in fear, but now he wasn’t scared at all. He turned a blind eye, laughed maniacally, stumbled, crashed through the door, and ran out.

The old country’s Xianle Imperial City was now a crumbling ruin.

Near the ruins, there were still residents who had managed to stay alive and stragglers who had no way out. Although ever since the outbreak of the human face epidemic and the destruction of the imperial city, this former gorgeous royal capital had been chillingly gloomy from time to time, today, it seemed to be particularly chilling. A few ragged beggars ran away in a huff, looking at the sky as they ran. People felt as if something very bad was going to happen, it was better not to linger.

In front of the crumbling gates of the Imperial City was the battlefield. Normally, not many people would dare to go there, now, only an old Taoist priest was running in the east and jumping in the west, catching those lost wandering souls, and when he caught them, he stuffed them into his bag and prepared to tie them into lanterns. Catching and catching, he suddenly realized that at some point, at the end of the battlefield, a strange white-clothed figure appeared.

When really strange, when really weird. A mourning dress, white robe with big sleeves, a piece of white silk pulled on the sleeve, fluttering with the wind, if there is life. On his face, he wore a ghastly white mask, half of his face crying, half of his face smiling.

That old Taoist priest had a vicious chill, and before he could react to why he was running, his legs had already taken him out of the battlefield on their own. With the feeling of shock still lingering within his heart, he stopped to look back.

That white-robed man didn’t say a word as he strolled across the battlefield. The bleak wind hunted, and every step under his feet stepped on the bones of those who had died in battle.

Countless dead souls struggled and wailed across the land, so much so that even the air was black with resentment.

The white-robed man said coldly, “Hate?”

The undead whimpered. The man in white took a few more steps away and said, “The people you swore to defend are now nationals of the new country. Do you hate it?”

Screams mingled with the wails of the undead.

The white-robed man said slowly, “They forget about you who died on the battlefield, forget about your sacrifices, and cheer for those who took your lives. Hate?”

The screaming was mixed with hissing and growling.

The white-robed man snapped, “What’s the use of just screaming, answer me, hate?!”

Countless voices filled with resentment and pain echoed over the entire battlefield.

“Hate ……”

“So much hate ……”

“Kill …… I want to kill them!!!”

The white-robed man opened his arms toward them, held out his hands, and said, “Come to my side.”

He said, word for word, “I promise: those who are in eternal peace will never be in peace!”

In the sky-shattering and wildly resounding screams, shrieks, and roars, the dead souls of the Xianle soldiers and the dead spirits of the Imperial City’s sphinx epidemic patients responded to each other, taking shape in the overwhelming black mist!

That old Taoist priest who was watching from afar took in the scene and was emboldened, “This is …… this is ……!!!”
