Flower Moon

That fire intensified.

In the beginning, it was just a Yayuan. Later, as more and more people came to rescue, more and more "voices" came into Tao Yuer's field of vision.Countless filth and ugliness were involved together and spread out naked in front of her. She suddenly felt that every one of them was not worth saving.

So starting from the elegant courtyard, all the brothels and elegant gardens downstream of the Luoshui River were burned to the ground.

The fire burned continuously for seven days, and no one could put out the fire.Officials came and felt something was wrong about the fire, and even dispatched Jingguo's Jiufangliao.But after investigation, the people in the dormitory found that there was no fluctuation of the monster's resentment. This was just an ordinary fire, but it burned extremely vigorously and violently.

As for whether anyone escaped?There are also some.

Some women like Tao Yue'er, who were robbed by force, escaped unwillingly, without thinking, and still wanted to return to their normal lives.

Although their clothes were burned, it was only the luxurious appearance, and no trace of fire actually eroded their bodies.

These people survived, but were captured by the government.Because there were countless casualties in the fire, it was really doubtful that only women were able to escape from it.But the officials interrogated them for several days, and they didn't know what was going on. The process of escaping could also be described as a narrow escape.After asking for a few days, I couldn't find any clues, so I put them all back.

In that fire, the only clue mentioned by every survivor was that they saw a woman in red, her whole body wet, like a female ghost climbing up from the Luoshui River.

The woman in red was nowhere to be found. Apart from hearing her existence, she had never been seen anywhere else.The people in Jiufangliao suggested cleaning up the Luoshui River. As a result, the government had to send people to block the water in the upper reaches of the Luoshui River, divert the Luoshui River to drain it, and then clean up the river in Yanhualiu Lane.This cleanup naturally surprised everyone.

Densely packed sacks were tied with iron blocks and sunk at the bottom of the river. When opened, each sack revealed a skeleton.Some are big and some are small, some are male and some are female, some are bones, and some are just a mass of rotten flesh.In short, all the gangsters in the city came to explore for three days. Even the senior gangsters who had seen many big scenes had to cover their noses and almost feel sick when they saw this scene.

When the crowd of onlookers saw this scene, their internal organs were naturally surging.Because they play, cruise, and even drink on the banks of Luoshui River every day.I never expected that there would be such a scene two feet below the surface of the seemingly calm river.The reason why it has not been discovered for so many years is probably because of the lush aquatic plants in the river. The iron block directly sank the sack to the bottom of the water. Once it was covered by layers of aquatic plants, no one could find it.Secondly, there are many brothels and elegant gardens around here that deceive and protect each other.After all, every company has some messy things that cannot be brought to the table. If you encounter someone who is messing around, just beat him to death and throw him into the water, and it will be over.It's quite convenient.

In the end, no clues could be found about this major case, so Jiufangliao was asked to come forward, write a grudge and hurt people, and then it was settled.As for where the resentment comes from and how to eliminate it, naturally there is no conclusion.Anyway, the fire was over and no other strange things happened, so the people above didn't worry anymore.

Soon, the upper reaches of the Luoshui River was restructured and water refilled the river.The brothels that were burned down on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were rebuilt in their place.Although a large number of people died, for the sake of profit and the necessary entertainment of the superiors, the supply and demand relationship will still be established.It's just a matter of time.

"You can't change everyone." Hua Ling looked at the people on the scorched earth who had begun to clean up the debris and prepare to rebuild again, and said to Tao Yuer, "Indicators do not cure the root cause."

"I can't change people's hearts. What I can do is to do my best after seeing the injustice, so that I won't waste the strength you helped me gain." Tao Yue'er was undoubtedly disappointed.

If she had acted faster and killed the woman directly, maybe the child would not have died.But if she had not witnessed the child's death, she would not have known about the hundreds of dead souls at the bottom of the river, nor would she have known that what these dead souls represented were countless people who were forcibly brought to brothels against their will. women.Tao Yue'er knew that she couldn't change the deep-rooted profit-seeking behavior of others, but as long as she saw it, she could help a little bit.This is also good.And she also knows that she will be lost, but she cannot despair.Although it seems that everything in front of us is not beautiful, there are still beautiful things in this world that are worthy of our admiration.

"Let's go. This place will be like this for a long time. When it returns to its previous appearance, it will be at least after the spring of next year." After Hua Ling finished speaking, Tao Yue'er understood what he meant.

In the spring of next year, when the ladder to heaven opens, it is still a question whether Tao Yue'er can see the scene here in the future, so don't worry anymore.

Tao Yue'er thought it was reasonable and said: "I'm not worried. I just hope that my power can be stronger, so that I can do more things."

For her first time, she felt that Hua Ling was so right and wise in letting her participate in the ladder selection.She can't change the world now because few people in the world listen to her.She has to go to a higher palace and gain the right to speak, so that she can truly change the world.As an ordinary person and a woman, she would not be able to get a place in Jingguo quickly.Going to Penglai and standing on top of the world would make it much easier for her to change Jingguo.Even the entire world can shift due to her will.

Tao Yue'er suddenly wanted to go to Penglai even more than Hua Ling.

The place that is regarded as a resort by every metaphysician is the fairy mountain and Qiongdao that they can't even reach after working hard all their lives.She must become one of the five Heaven-reaching Ones. If someone blocks her way, she does not recommend clearing them all out like a fire burning down an entire brothel...

"Originally, I thought it might be too cruel for you to let you see the darkness in this world. But now that I see your changes, I suddenly feel a little regretful," Hua Ling said.

"Regret for what?" Tao Yuer'er was puzzled.

"I regret not letting you see the truth earlier. In this way, we can avoid many detours."

Tao Yue'er's only fault was that she was too soft-hearted.She thought that meeting one or two bad people was because she was unlucky.But I met so many people and heard so many people’s voices.Only then did she realize that it turned out that the majority of people were not kind... Everyone was in it for their own benefit and didn't mind turning themselves into ghosts.

Then she has nothing to complain about.

In the future, if the world kisses her with pain, she will retaliate in kind.
