Chapter 10

Since I can't cultivate, let's wash and sleep.

It is also within expectations, after all, the original owner was dried up.

It would be a ghost if the body could still cultivate.

Yu Ke, lying on the bed tossing and turning, couldn't sleep.

Moonlight like water, the quiet night descended again.

However, at this moment, the 【Kunxu Cauldron】 in his brain suddenly glowed slightly, trembling slightly.

【Cooldown ended, do you want to simulate?】

【Save twenty years, do you want to continue.】

Yu Ke saw the light screen flashing on the cauldron, and immediately cheered up.

Work is here!

Choose to continue simulation.

Following his response, the light of 【Kunxu Cauldron】 became more and more dazzling, and the patterns on it seemed to be given life, shining brightly.

【This year, you are just 20 years old, looking at the letter in your hand, you fall into deep thought, your father encountered a difficulty.】

【So, you decide】

1. Continue to cultivate in the mountains.

2. Go down the mountain.

3. Personally participate (0/3)

Yu Ke is a bit tangled, according to the previous progress, even if he simulates in the mountains for ten years, the progress is mostly slow.

Might as well open a new dungeon.

After all, as long as there is a change in the progress of the Kunxu world, there will be rewards.

As for personally participating, there is no need.

A decision was made in his heart.

Yu Ke chooses 2, go down the mountain.

【You resolutely decided to go down the mountain to support your father. This decision caused quite a shock in the sect, some were shocked, some sneered, thinking you were just hypocritical.】

【You lived in seclusion for five years, never having any dealings with people in the sect, the newly joined disciples all said your temper was strange, only knowing how to cultivate.】

【Unlike Lu Yu, who has a wide range of friends, when leaving the mountain, there is a group of like-minded Three Truths disciples following.】

【Everyone has a playful heart towards you, not holding any expectations for your future.】

【As for whether you can achieve a career going down the mountain, everyone is not optimistic.】

【You are alone, only the master came to see you off personally.】

【The Daoist laughed: "Disciple, you should have gone down the mountain to experience long ago, now is the right time."】

【Under the master's guidance, you knew the location of your father.】

【Hulao Pass—the world's majestic pass.】

【Lu Chen said goodbye and started going north alone.】

【The journey north is long and arduous.】

【Along the way, refugees are like a tide, pouring in from the north, their eyes full of panic and despair.】

【There are bones of those who starved to death on the road, no chickens crowing for thousands of miles, the tragic situation of exchanging children for food makes you shocked.】

【These words are no longer simple words, but turned into real scenes in front of you, making you deeply realize the suffering and tragedy of the human world.】

【One day, you met an old man, he was exhausted, hungry, sallow and thin, his eyes full of the grief of losing his family.】

【You felt compassion, shared some of your rations with him, and the old man was very grateful.】

【However, you didn't expect that this old man wanted to kill you at night, fortunately you have the talent of Insight into People, and were prepared.】

【You have practiced martial arts for many years, your physique is strong, the old man is not your opponent, and was controlled by you, the old man begged for mercy.】

【You still kept a trace of compassion in your heart, looking at the old man's aged face, you still chose to let him go.】

【The next morning, the old man entered your vision again. Several farmers followed behind, in rags, holding hoes and other farm tools tightly in their hands, green light flashing in their eyes, like a hungry pack of wolves.】

【The old man pointed at you, his voice hoarse and shouted: "He has wheat!"】

【As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several farmers instantly flashed with unprecedented brilliance.】

【Someone proposed fiercely: "Kill him and take the food back!"】

【Someone else echoed viciously: "Might as well put him in a pot, we can have a full meal!"】

【Several people have blood energy on them, obviously they all have human lives on their hands.】

【Originally this old man was from the same village as them, at this time he was also a bit afraid of the four.】

【They have been moving south for 27 days since the war, and can only survive on straw and bran, the food has long been exhausted.】

【From their tone, you have roughly guessed their intentions, when they started to flee, everyone had some food and could maintain morality, later the food was eaten up, and even tree bark was gnawed clean.】

【People have evil thoughts after three days of hunger, not to mention more than twenty days.】

【The refugees dare not slow down, because it is a half-month journey to Yizhou of Great Qing. And once the cavalry of the Northern Wind Profound Kingdom breaks the Hulao Pass, they will have only a dead end.】

【As for whether Hulao Pass can be held, they have long stopped expecting.】

【The incompetence of the imperial court has long made the hearts of the people in the north scattered, and they can only hope to survive in this troubled world.】

【The five people approached you step by step, the tools originally used for farming became sharp weapons for killing, they looked at you excitedly.】

【At the same time, you keenly noticed that there were still a few people hiding in the grass not far away, those thirsty eyes seemed to be another team of cannibals.】

【Facing the five people surrounding you...】

【So, you decide.】

1. Beg for mercy, perhaps they will let you go.

2. Let them go.

3. Kill the five people.

4. Personally participate (0/3)

Yu Ke looks at the three options that popped up.

Through the old man's "returning evil for good," he thought in his heart, in troubled times, one should have a heart of killing.

Moreover, if you let them go again, it might lead to greater disaster.

And killing the five people can also deter others following behind, killing the chicken to warn the monkey.

Yu Ke chooses 3, kill the five people.

【The five people are all farmers who have not learned martial arts, plus they haven't rested well along the way, they are not your opponents at all.】

【You only wasted some effort to kill the five people, the old man begged for mercy again, you didn't soften your heart this time.】

【This is the first time you killed someone, but you didn't have much reaction, maybe it's because you saw too many deaths along the way.】

【In troubled times, have a heart of killing, you warned yourself.】

【The few people in the grass were scared by you and slowly retreated, you ignored them and turned away, no one dared to follow.】

【Not long after you left, the bones of the five people just now had disappeared.】

【You continue to go north.】

【More and more bad news came.】

【Now early spring has passed, the army of the Northern Wind Profound Kingdom swept over, in just half a month, six cities fell one after another, the defending generals of Ziyang and Lucheng fled at the sight of the wind.】

【There are countless disaster victims on the road, like a long dragon, bones everywhere.】

【The Northern Wind Profound Kingdom killed and looted countless people after breaking the city, the strong were beheaded, infants were pierced on spears, and danced as a play.】

【The prefectures and counties passed, the red land had nothing left, spring swallows returned, nesting in trees.】

【Just a few paragraphs of text, but it is difficult to describe the cruel scene in reality. You went north all the way and witnessed countless human tragedies.】

【Now, the righteous armies of the world finally gathered at Hulao Pass.】

【The army of the Northern Wind Profound Kingdom gathered outside Hulao Pass, forming a confrontation.】

【Once Hulao Pass is broken, crossing that Shanhai Pass, the Northern Wind Profound Kingdom will have no obstacles, directly forcing the Central Plains, going south to annex.】

【This Battle of Hulao Pass affects the heartstrings of all living beings in the world.】

【You spent a full month before seeing that Hulao Pass.】
