The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 847: Dark Corner of the Outer City
When Liu Sheng returned to the outer city, it was already late at night.

She stood not far from the gate of the Governor's Mansion, standing silently under the cover of the flying snow.

At this time, the heavy snow had already covered the remaining bloodstains on the ground, leaving no trace.

The city also fell into dead silence, without a single sound.

It seems that all of this has been covered by the never-ending snow and wind in the north, buried in the unfathomable darkness.

only……

Some things can't be covered up for long.

One day, when the undercurrents accumulated under the ice and snow gather into a tide and burst, it will be unknown who will be drowned.

However, Liu Sheng still doesn’t know what happened in front of the door.

But she clearly saw that there was a strong strange aura in front of the Governor's Mansion. And above the Governor's Mansion, the strange aura was soaring into the sky that it almost condensed into substance.

Liu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and a chill rose in his heart.

"Aren't we going in yet?"

Ruan Shizhi asked weakly, shrinking his neck.

"There's no rush." ​​Liu Sheng said lightly.

"We need to find the governor to report the changes in the inner city!" Ruan Shizhi was so anxious that he stamped his feet. "The governor is the only one in the outer city who can lead the troops into the inner city! If tens of thousands of troops disappear and he doesn't show up, who will find a solution?"

When Ruan Shizhi thought of his missing mother, his heart was broken and he wished he could break the ice wall to look for her immediately.

But the reality is difficult.

Although the Great Wall is dangerous, it is still climbable.

And in the north of the northern border, there is an ice wall that is like a natural moat, so deep that even the claws of a fairy cannot penetrate it.

Once attached, it will be immediately entangled by the biting cold, quickly and completely frozen, and sealed in the ice.

It was Liu Sheng who forcibly took it down with his cultivation in the Shenzang realm.

In this way, Ling Fu realized that his niece's cultivation level might have already surpassed the Mingzhen realm in his memory.

What's more, there's no end to the ice wall.

Liu Sheng tried to climb up directly by lifting his head to see how high the ice wall was. Unexpectedly, he hit the solid ice cloud in the sky just as he took a deep breath.

Moreover, whether it is this ice wall or ice cloud, like the Great Wall, they carry the power of rules and cannot be solved by violence.

From this perspective, the entire Great Wall seems to be shrouded in an ice cave formed by rules, with no way up or north.

"Perhaps, this is not a bad thing. The cold night erodes the Great Wall. Isn't this a natural barrier? Maybe... this is the work of the great general!"

This was what Song Ru guessed at the time.

But Liu Sheng was not so optimistic.

The key point is the disappearance of General Hubei, Ling Youlian, and tens of thousands of troops, which makes this matter seem strange.

Moreover, if this can really prevent erosion, then why have strange things been happening so frequently south of the Great Wall recently?
So, he quietly went down from the top of the Great Wall through the elevator passage, then manipulated the two soldiers to find a way to distract the guards, sneaked out from the secret passage, and immediately went to the Governor's Mansion.

According to Ruan Shizhi, the governor was a close confidant of the general, who had saved his life. Although he might be punished for breaking into the inner city, it was nothing compared to the inner city becoming an empty city and the general disappearing.

"He will definitely show leniency!" Ruan Shizhi was confident of this.

However, when he reached the door, Liu Sheng stopped in his tracks.

Ling Fu saw Ruan Shizhi's anxiety and couldn't help but knock him on the forehead.

"Silly boy, didn't you come from the Snow Mountain? Can't you see such a heavy restriction? If you really force your way in, I'm afraid you can only use Wushuang."

Ruan Shizhi opened his innocent eyes:
"…What is Wushuang?"

"Ahem, Wushuang..."

Ling Fu accidentally mentioned the terminology of that time and felt a little embarrassed.

“Just crush them head-on, one against ten million.” Liu Sheng continued.

When Ruan Shizhi heard this, he swallowed and dared not say anything more.

Even though he had made a breakthrough, he didn't dare to imagine what it would be like if he were to face off against the entire Northern Army.

Just then, a figure flew over.

The man rubbed his aching neck and muttered angrily: "I'm dying from falling... That tower is really high..."

It was Song Ru who went to get information.

Liu Sheng didn't say anything, waiting quietly for Song Ru to speak.

"Shengsheng, you are right. Something did happen in front of this door..."

"I went to find a strange sister. Apart from her, I'm afraid no one would dare to talk about the Governor's Mansion... Of course, her position was very awkward, but she happened to see everything..."

After quickly telling everything she had heard, Song Ru's eyes showed a strong look of disgust.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

After hearing this, Liu Sheng, Ling Fu and Ruan Shizhi all fell into a long silence.

"Aren't you angry?" Song Ru said angrily.

"Where are the father and daughter now?" Liu Sheng asked directly without answering.

Song Ru pursed her lips and said, "That old man Wang did such a thing in front of the Governor's Mansion, disturbing the Governor's promotion. Naturally, he was sent to the dungeon. I will deal with him personally after the Governor breaks through the barrier."

"What about the child?"

Song Ru sighed, "Fortunately, there were kind people who cleaned her up and carried her back to her residence. But no one took care of her, and no one dared to take care of her, so she could only lie there like this... I don't know how long she can live like this... Maybe she has already died. If this is the case, it's better."

As she spoke, she lowered her voice, a little sadly, "He was a sensible and good child. Sometimes when he saw my body, he would bury it to prevent me from being exposed in the wilderness..."

Liu Sheng was silent, then raised his eyes, looked at Song Ru steadily and said, "Take me to see the child."

Song Ru was slightly startled, and her dull eyes suddenly lit up. She raised her hand and pointed: "Come this way, I know a small path that can get close without anyone noticing..."

Liu Sheng shook his head: "Don't take the small road."

"what?"

"I will go openly."

"Ah?" This time it was Ruan Shizhi's turn to be surprised, "The matter of the snow mountain..."

Liu Sheng said calmly: "Originally I just wanted to avoid a falling out in front of the general. Now that the general is gone, there's no point in hiding it. It's better to stimulate it and let these evil spirits hiding in the dark come out on their own."

"That's true." Ling Fu also smiled, his eyes slightly cold, "It's time to make Lord Ling's name known."

"Walk."

Liu Sheng turned to Ruan Shizhi, who was pinching his fingers and looking uneasy, and said:

"Let's go back and take the white horse."

……

The dirtiest corner of the outer city is called the Dark Corner.

Criminals exiled to the north were imprisoned here, and even officers and soldiers were too lazy to garrison here because the shackles on their feet were enough to restrict their freedom.

If someone runs out of the Great Wall on his own, it means he doesn't want to live anymore, so there is no need to care about him anymore.

As for the strange man, his shackles are even more special.

Otherwise, if they are allowed to use their abilities, at best the peace of the Great Wall will be disturbed, and at worst even greater disasters will be caused.

And now it has an even more important meaning - that is, we cannot let it die easily.

You have to know that every weirdo is an important resource.

This also led to the fact that these strange people, who were originally at the bottom of the dark corners and could be bullied by everyone, were now being kept as slaves.

Those that are useful have already been picked out and clearly marked with prices.

People like Song Ru, who are not aggressive but can regenerate repeatedly, are simply the most popular commodities.

Before Liu Sheng came, she had already had several masters, and Shouhou was just the agent of one of them.

In addition to these involuntary ones, of course there are some weirdos who can't stand the hardship of the dark corner and take the opportunity to choose a master to live with, so as to leave the dark corner. Even if the master is transient, it is better than living in the dirty wind and snow in the dark corner.

But no matter what happens, as long as you haven't died outside, you will return to the dark corner one day.

Sinners are sinners, and the dark corner is their final destination.

At this moment, in the ears of these worthless and barely surviving weirdos in the dark corner, the sounds of horse hooves and the squeaking of wheels rolling on the snow suddenly rang out.

In the dead silence of the dark corner, it was particularly harsh.

Horses are usually ridden by nobles.

The appearance of the carriage meant that someone else was about to be taken away.

In the dark corners, countless timid eyes peeked at the carriage pulled by the majestic white horse through the dark cracks.

Dare not make any sound.

I was afraid that the carriage would stop in front of my door.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a narrow and dark alley.

The alley was dark, without any lights. I didn't know how much dirt was hidden in the darkness, and I could hardly sense the breath of any living creature.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a girl in a cloak stepped out.

She walked silently through the dark, smelly sewage ditch made of melted snow, and walked towards a low shed.

The people hiding in the dark and peeping were even more puzzled. There was only a struggling child in the room, and the house was empty. Was there anything worth taking away?

The girl seemed not to sense the different gazes. She just gently opened the door and walked into the house.

Not long after, she came out holding a roll of quilt.

The quilt was thin and worn, and there was obviously something wrapped inside.

She carefully placed the quilt on the carriage and got in herself.

The white horse neighed in a very human way, and gently led the carriage to change direction, ready to leave.

At this time, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore.

The shackles jingled due to the staggering footsteps, and a figure ran out from the darkness.

"Stop it!"

It was a middle-aged woman, with a broken body and thin clothes. She was shivering in the wind, but she still dragged her broken body with her arms outstretched to block the way.

The white horse neighed and stopped in a hurry.

"What do you want to do? Sui'er has nothing left. Can't you even give her this last quiet moment?"

The alley was silent except for her trembling cries.

A calm voice came from the carriage:

"I just wanted to save her."

The woman was startled and asked in a trembling voice: "What...save her?"

"If you leave her like this, she will just die."

The voice in the carriage remained calm and firm.

"I... Of course I know..." The woman whispered, "But, but, this... Even the priest can't save it, how is it possible?"

"It's impossible to save him, it's impossible..." She kept muttering, "You are lying! You must be lying!"

"I have my own way." The girl in the carriage said without hesitation.

"I don't need to explain whether she is lying or not. Anyway, she is in this state now, what can I lie about?"

The woman was stunned.

Yes, even those people don’t want her anymore, so of course she is not worth anything. What can this girl cheat?

While hesitating, he heard the girl inside politely say: "If you have no way to save her, please give way and don't waste the opportunity."

The woman gritted her teeth, finally stepped aside, curled up under the eaves, and let the carriage pass by.

Seeing that the carriage was about to slowly drive out of sight, the woman hesitated for a moment, but still limped after it.

It was just because of her disabled body, the shackles, thin clothes and unbearable cold that she was soon left behind and fell heavily in the snow.

In the carriage, the young girl stuck her head out and looked at her calmly: "Miss, are you worried?"

The woman trembled and said, "Of course I'm worried. Who knows what you're going to do with Sui'er's body? If Old Man Wang comes back... comes back... and can't see Sui'er..."

As he spoke, his voice became lower again.

It seemed that he also thought that Old Man Wang might never come back to see Sui'er.

"In short, since Old Man Wang is not around, we, the neighbors, must keep a closer eye on him."

Tears welled up in the woman's eyes.

"Then come up." Unexpectedly, the girl spoke.

The middle-aged woman was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then limped towards the carriage.

She ignored the arm that was stretched out to support her, and just climbed up clumsily relying on her own strength.

The curtain dropped and the carriage started moving again.

Slowly drive away from the dark corner.

At this point, as the carriage disappeared in the wind and snow, the gazes following in the dark corners also silently withdrew.

That was the end of my concern for the fate of those two strange men.

After all, everyone has their own pain to worry about.

There is probably no point caring about someone you will never see again.

In the dark corners, people die silently every day.

This kind of thing happens every day, and when they come back, they only look more miserable.

However, what was unexpected was that on the second day, the middle-aged woman who caught up with the carriage was sent back by the carriage.

Wearing a brand new cotton coat, he looked relaxed and nimbly jumped off the carriage, landing steadily on the ground, with no trace of the original damage on his body.

She whispered something respectfully to the carriage, which did not stop but left peacefully.

The woman stood in the snow, looking for a long time in the direction where the carriage left.

There was a light burning in his eyes that he had never seen before.

She went back into the house, and not long after, someone came to her door.

"Bai Xuan, I didn't expect you to come back." Someone leaning against the door said coldly.

The woman's name is Bai Xuan, but this name is only mentioned by those who are familiar with her. Outside of her, people only call her "White-haired Girl" or "White Monkey".

Bai Xuan nodded, her eyes shining, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either."

"You look different."

Another voice sounded and joined the conversation.

The doors and windows of the houses in the dark corners were already riddled with holes. More and more people wrapped in shadows appeared silently, and only the sound of shackles could be heard.

"of course."

Bai Xuan showed a long-lost smile and seemed very satisfied with her changes.

"Why? What exactly happened?" someone asked.

"because……"

Bai Xuan was silent for a moment, clenched her hands tightly, and her face was filled with piety.

"Lord Ling is a truly good man."
