Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 420 Survival is Simple
First, a portion of the money was withdrawn.

Take your money, do your job, that's the rule.

Then he went out and found the young man who was still struggling to survive at the city gate.

Would you be willing to help me?

The young man nodded immediately, knowing his chance had come.

People in the Spring and Autumn Period were very extreme; there were those who were faithless and unrighteous, and those who kept their promises.

Xu Xuan gave him hope of living one more day, and he wanted to repay him, even if it meant giving his life.

It defies common sense, yet it is very much in line with the times.

"Very good. Go into the palace and do something for me."

"it is good."

The young man readily accepted the money, ate a lot of food, drank the finest wine, bought himself a suit of clothing like that of an aristocrat, went to a brothel to complete his life's important act, and then had a wonderful sleep.

The next day, he burned his fine clothes, put on his tattered clothes, tied a dagger to his body, and disappeared from the capital.

On the third day, Xu Xuan bought several cartloads of millet cakes, rice cakes, wine, and meat and went to the construction site where the capital was being expanded and the Crane Terrace was being built.

He moved around very smoothly in the name of Kong Zhou.

Many people saw the convoy. The laborers' eyes reddened at the smell of food, and they were whipped by the overseer as soon as they slowed down their work.

Snap! Snap! Snap!
The sounds of whips cracking and cries of pain rose and fell.

"Get to work!"

"This isn't for you!"

Then Gongzheng and Gongyin came over to receive the food and drinks.

They were completely unprepared. Who would be on guard against a large convoy of supply wagons deep in the heart of Wei, even if the leader was a well-dressed foreigner?

Xu Xuan pulled the supplies down to the foot of the platform, and then naturally walked up.

Without waiting for the other party to ask for the token.

puff!

He killed Gongzheng with a single sword thrust, as calmly as if he were just passing by.

The sword was not a famous one; it was just a random one taken from Kong Zhou's residence, and it was even a bit dull.

So he relied mostly on his superhuman strength to push Gong Zheng, sword and all, off the platform and crash into the dust.

This action caught everyone off guard. Gong Yin, standing to the side, was so surprised that his mouth was agape, but he still didn't order the guards to make a move.

Because the other party was so open and honest, it seemed like they had something to rely on.

The laborers below also witnessed the changes on the stage. They watched the struggle between the big shots with cold eyes, taking this opportunity to catch their breath.

Both physical and mental exhaustion make it difficult to react.

Xu Xuan's next move was also very simple.

They overturned the cart carrying the liquor. Then they grabbed the servant, slaughtered him like a chicken, and threw him down.

Then came the guards who realized what was happening, one or two, three or four.
This person had neither the demeanor of a master nor the sense of shame of a cultivator bullying an ordinary person.

In fact, if the guards behind him hadn't been too afraid to go up, he would have liked to hold a showdown in the secret realm.

The bodies that fell landed on the supply truck.

With a splash, the aroma of wine filled the air, mingling with the crimson of blood that flowed across the ground, constantly stimulating the numb senses of the crowd.

Xu Xuan stood on the platform, revealing a radiant smile that seemed to belong to someone from the State of Wei.

"Kill the guards, then eat."

A simple sentence, and because the White Lotus Technique was inconvenient to use, had little persuasive power.

But people took action after hearing that.

There's no need for manipulation; their will to live is enough.

Once one person takes the lead and shouts out the goal, everyone will follow their instinct after the boundaries are broken.

The overseers' whips were torn off, their armor stripped off, and their bodies were smashed to pieces with stones.

People used their thin, bony arms to pick up millet cakes and rice cakes, squatted down, and licked the spilled wine from the ground, swallowing it along with the dirt, sand, and blood, then feeling the burning pain in their stomachs.

These things cannot fill one's stomach, but they can transform people from weak creatures into hungry beasts.

The hunting instinct inherited from humankind is awakening.

So what else can we eat?

Xu Xuan remained calm, calmly spreading his power into the hearts of everyone.

"The Minister of Works, the Supervisor of Works, the Minister, the General, and the King of Wei."

"If they won't let you live, why don't you let them die?"

“Those who want to live, join me in killing King Wei now.”

"Then we ate meat and drank alcohol."

"go!"

When will this day end? I will perish with you.

People may not understand poetry, but they know how to live.

Anger and the will to survive were boiling.

The plow and hoe in their hands were no longer tools, but weapons.

Long-handled wooden sticks can be used not only to shovel soil, but also to shovel heads.

As if bewitched, everyone followed the unknown person to the palace.

The burning pain in their stomachs made it difficult for them to think about countries or nations, and their level of education meant they couldn't even contemplate that the people of the Shang Dynasty shared the same origin.

Just follow the massive crowd; that person will help them survive.

Some of the people on the road saw Xu Xuan driving his chariot at the forefront and chose to join him. Because he had killed nobles, they wanted to kill them too.

The power that Chaoge had suppressed for so long finally began to erupt with the help of a spark. This great commotion also alerted the palace guards, generals, ministers, and the King of Wei, who once again witnessed the power of the common people.

Trying to back down with words?
Impossible. Even Xu Xuan couldn't control this torrent. The only way to calm it down was to let this violent power destroy everything.

In the end, they could only rely on the expanded inner walls of the palace to withstand the flood.

The ragtag army, lacking siege equipment, seemed to be blocked, helplessly pounding on the very bricks they had laid themselves.

But soon chaos erupted in the inner court.

A young man led a large number of witches out from within and opened the gates of the inner city.

The young man, covered in blood, smiled at Xu Xuan, then collapsed.

He swam in through the spring of the Crane Pond and found the priestesses who had been captured.

"I said, God was angry because of Wanwu's fall from grace, and sent an envoy."

"My name is Qingfeng."

died.

Xu Xuan found a place to cremate the young man along with the palace.

Just then, the rioting craftsmen stormed into the main hall.

Duke Yi of Wei was greatly alarmed and ordered his generals to quickly block the mob.

Those who received armor all said, "If we are to fight, cranes are already entitled to official positions and salaries. How can we possibly fight?"

And that was the end of it. The cranes, frightened, all flew away, abandoning the king who had offered them tributes and official positions.

The guards also turned against them, not daring to defy the prevailing trend.

Wei Chi was trapped inside the palace, and he was terrified as he looked at the crowd surrounding him.

“I am the son of Wei Shuo, the ruler of the State of Wei. I have murdered my superior, and I am condemned by both Heaven and Man.”

As the crowd hesitated, Xu Xuan walked over and, without giving the emperor any face, casually picked up a guard's weapon and stabbed it into the crowd before throwing it into the middle of the crowd.

He came here with good intentions, hoping to give everyone a sense of participation.

The moment Duke Yi of Wei died and was dismembered, space gradually collapsed.

An elderly man named Kong Zhou lay on the ground, seemingly breathing heavily but not exhaling, while Bai Suzhen, whom he hadn't seen for three days, stood there looking at Xu Xuan with some surprise.

"Hanwen, you really are good at secret realms."

Xu Xuan was somewhat helpless. "I skipped levels and went straight to the BOSS, but I still can't beat the one who's cheating."

It turns out that after Bai Suzhen was pulled into the small world, she tested it a few times and found the point exposed by the loss of Cheng Ying, and jumped out.

Kong Zhou's obsession led him to resist, but the result was that he lay there groaning.

If it weren't for not wanting the twin swords to get lost, Bai Suzhen would have broken through this place and left long ago.

Fortunately, it was here that I witnessed Xu Hanwen's entire passage through customs.

He is truly a compassionate man.

Indeed, in Bai Suzhen's eyes, Xu Xuan's actions were quite Buddhist.

With fearlessness, compassion, and great wisdom, he saved all the people of the country and gave all those who sought survival a glimmer of hope.

Throughout the entire process, the idea of ​​equality for all beings was perfectly implemented, with nobles and kings all returning to one place.

As for the minor flaws in the methods used, they do not outweigh the merits.

Xu Xuan: Actually, I'm not as good as you say, hahahahahahaha
The old man on the ground watched as the two despicable people met and whispered to each other, showing him no respect whatsoever. He could only open his eyes and cough a few times in an attempt to get their attention.

Xu Xuan then remembered that he should collect his mission reward.

"Lord Kong, the Wanwu ritual has been restored, the artisans have been given a rest, and King Wei no longer favors cranes. All tasks have been completed."

"Han Guang and Xiao Lian should be handed over."

Kong Zhou was furious; the man of destiny he was waiting for wasn't like this.

But it seems like doing this isn't wrong either, and it only makes things more painful.

"Even wielding the Three Swords of Heaven and mastering the principles of nature, I still cannot protect the country."

"But if a broken sword kills the King of Wei, the State of Wei can be reborn from death."

"It's you who chose the wrong path, not the people."

"If you still don't get it, then go with Duke Yi of Wei."

A broken sword was pressed against the old man's neck.

Xu Xuan issued an ultimatum; he had no moral fastidiousness about making his opponents willingly hand over the reward.

If they won't give it to you, then take it yourself.

At worst, I'll just take one and look for the rest later.

"Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me."

"The Three Swords have been with me for many years, but only by following you can we achieve great things."

The old man wisely handed over Han Guang and Xiao Lian.

My obsession has finally come to an end, and if I don't take the initiative, I'll ruin my reputation in my later years.

This young man's methods are quite ruthless.

As the divine weapon separated, Kong Zhou immediately felt a sense of emptiness, as if all the restraints had been released.

Suddenly, I realized how ridiculous my previous insistence had been.

No kingdom lasts forever; even the Zhou royal family will one day disappear.

If the hearts of the people are turned away, it's better to die.

Looking at Xu Xuan, the Yue man who destroyed Chaoge in three days, from this perspective, we now have a different viewpoint.

As the obsession dissipated, he even uttered the following:

“We are indeed incredibly foolish, and you are truly compassionate.”
