Harvesting Yin

Broken Soul Cliff, white snow falling, silent and solemn.

Chang Lin's clothes were disheveled, his hair was disheveled, and his body was covered with scars. He lined up with dozens of prisoners, kneeling neatly in front of the cliff, facing the bright sunshine, with a dazed expression, like a stone sculpture.

Perhaps knowing that death is imminent, their hearts are desperate, their minds are blank, there is neither fear nor panic, they just kneel there quietly, motionless, as if this body no longer belongs to them.

In the distant sky, the sun is rising, shining brightly and dazzlingly. This is the most beautiful moment of the day.

However, this is also the moment in their lives that will end.

Chang Lin stared blankly into the distance, his heart, which had been terrified in prison for several days, finally calmed down at the moment of death.

Behind the prisoner stood a row of law enforcement monks in white robes with indifferent faces. Their faces were stiff and there seemed to be no emotion in their eyes.

Not long after, a group of sad-faced monks, both men and women, rushed over and gathered on the cold and windy Broken Soul Cliff.

Among those prisoners, there were their friends, or relatives, or Taoist companions. Now that these people are going to be executed, they will naturally come to see them off for the last time.

"Deacon Ruan, it's getting late, isn't your friend here yet?"

Behind the law enforcement cultivator stood a middle-aged man in white robes, his name was Tang Ju, and he was the captain of the law enforcement responsible for executing the prisoners this time. The person standing beside him was Ruan Ming, the friend of the owner of Snow Orchard.

Although Ruan Ming is the deacon of the law enforcement team, but this time.He didn't care about it, he knew that Yang Que was coming to see a friend for the last time, so he asked Tang Ju for a favor.I hope he will be executed later.

Originally, before the prisoner was dying, no one was allowed to approach him to speak. He could only watch from a distance and sigh silently like the crowd over there.

But since he was Ruan Ming's friend, Tang Ju naturally wanted to show some face. At this moment, he saw that the execution time was approaching.I had no choice but to urge Ruan Ming.

"Captain Tang, wait a minute, he should be here soon." Ruan Ming felt a little anxious.I kept looking at the mountain road behind me.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Mu Yiqing to rush over with Yang Que and Zhang Jian.

"Captain Tang, I'm sorry to trouble you. This is Junior Brother Yang. He's here to meet a friend today." As the owner of Snow Orchard, Mu Yiqing naturally knew Tang Opera. He introduced it.

"Junior Yang Que, thank you Senior Tang." Yang Que hurriedly stepped forward to salute, with a very respectful attitude.

Tang Ju glanced at him indifferently, and said, "Since you're a friend of Deacon Ruan and Garden Master Mu, you're welcome. Hurry up and make a long story short."

Yang Que nodded.Then he took Zhang Jian and walked towards Chang Lin who was kneeling on the edge of the cliff.

Those monks not far away saw this scene, and suddenly became a little bit aggrieved, but the people who looked at Yang Que and the law enforcement team seemed to be very familiar with each other, so they could only sigh in their hearts.

"Chang Lin, Junior Brother Yang and I came to see you." Zhang Jian rushed to Chang Lin, patted his shoulder, and said with a sob.

Chang Lin turned his head, looked at the two of them blankly, as if he didn't know each other, and said mechanically: "Oh." Then he turned his head and ignored them.

"Chang Lin, what's wrong with you? I'm Zhang Jian, and I've been your friend since childhood!"

Looking at his dull expression, Zhang Jian felt sore in his heart, holding his hand and said urgently.

Chang Lin stared straight at the sun in the sky without feeling glaring. He remained silent for a while and said, "Friend? What is a friend? Friend, can he help me?"

When Zhang Jian heard this, his face was full of guilt, and he lowered his head and said, "Chang Lin, I'm sorry for you. I, Zhang Jian, are useless. I couldn't help you. I also know that you were wronged this time."

The corner of Chang Lin's mouth twitched, revealing a hint of sarcasm, shook his head, and said, "No, I'm not wronged. Something happened to me, even if they killed me, they should have done so."

"Chang Lin, you..." Zhang Jian looked at his expression like a puppet, and sighed: "I also know that things are irreversible. Today, Junior Brother Yang and I are here to see you for the last time and talk to you, you Can you stop doing this?"

Yang Que frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand to peel off his collar. Scars on his body were immediately exposed, some had scabs, some were bloody and bloody, which looked shocking.

Zhang Jian's whole body trembled as he watched, his eyes were burning with anger, and he tremblingly said: "They... how could they do this? It's obviously none of your business, and it's fine if you are sentenced to death, why do you want to beat you?"

Chang Lin's eyes were dull, still looking into the distance, and did not answer.

Yang Que sighed slightly, and said: "So many fruit trees died in that area, and he happened to be guarding that night, the law enforcement team must want to get some information from him. If they don't get it, they will naturally be dissatisfied and attack more cruelly." , although they may also be aware of this matter, and it has nothing to do with Senior Brother Chang."

"They insisted that they have something to do with me." Hearing Yang Que's words, Chang Lin suddenly said, but the expression on his face was extremely calm, without any anger or grievance.

"That's right, that incident is too weird, since they can't find out, they will naturally find a scapegoat." Yang Que smiled wryly.

Zhang Jian was full of anger, and was about to curse in a low voice, when he heard a row of law enforcement monks behind him suddenly raise their spiritual swords, and Tang Ju's indifferent voice sounded: "The time has come, prepare for execution!"

"Junior Brother Yang, come back quickly." Mu Yiqing hurriedly shouted to Yang Que not far away.

"Chang Lin..." Zhang Jian heard that the execution was about to take place, so he held Chang Lin's hand tightly, his face full of pain: "I'm useless, I can't save you, I hope you don't blame me..."

"Okay, you guys go quickly, you will die if you die, I have been desperate for a long time." During this short moment, Chang Lin seemed to regain his sobriety, glanced at the two of them, and smiled faintly.

"Junior Brother Yang, I know that you are not the same kind of people as us. Your road is farther than ours. Thank you for coming these days. You can not dislike my identity with Zhang Jian and talk with us. In fact, Zhang Jian and I have a heart I am very grateful to you. I think I will always have the honor of being your friend. Unfortunately, I am about to die. But I hope you can help me take care of Zhang Jian. With your strength and background, you will definitely be able to keep him from suffering. Bullying..."

Chang Lin looked at Yang Que, finished speaking with a smile, then kowtowed heavily to him.

"Chang Lin!" Seeing that he was still thinking about himself when he was dying, Zhang Jian couldn't bear it anymore, hugged him, and burst into tears, "Chang Lin, I'm so useless, I've worked so hard for decades , but I want to watch you die. If it weren't for you, my mother and I would have passed away long ago. I'm sorry for you..."

Chang Lin lowered his head, tears overflowing from his eyes.

Yang Que sighed slightly, and wanted to stretch out his hand to pull Zhang Jian, but he couldn't bear it, but at this moment, he heard Tang Ju coldly shouted: "Okay! The time has come, leave quickly, the execution time will be delayed, even You kill together!"

"Kill! Kill me if you have the ability! You will only bully the weak and wrong the good people!" Zhang Jian was so emotional that he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and turned around and shouted at Tang Ju.

"Presumptuous!" Tang Ju's face was extremely gloomy when he heard it, and he glanced at him and Yang Que with contempt, and said coldly: "I really don't know what to do! If it wasn't for Deacon Ruan's sake, I would have let you trespass on the execution ground." This one, I have the right to kill you!"

"Junior Brother Yang, hurry up and bring your friends out, don't be impulsive!" Ruan Ming and Mu Yiqing shouted quickly when they saw that the two sides had an argument.

Hearing Tang Ju's arrogant words, Yang Que was furious in his heart, but he knew clearly that now is not the time to show off his courage, this is his territory, if he acts impulsively, it will make Ruan Ming very embarrassed.

"Senior Brother Zhang, let's go." Yang Que sighed.

Chang Lin also pushed Zhang Jian and said, "Let's go, get out of here with Junior Brother Yang, don't provoke Captain Tang to be angry, be careful to be hated by him, and you will be in trouble later."

"Chang Lin, I won't leave! My mother said that she wanted me to repay you well. How can I just watch you die now?" Zhang Jian was thinking about his mother's dying words at this moment, and the suppressed emotion in his heart was momentary. Like a mountain torrent erupting, unstoppable, he was so emotional that he couldn't control it at all.

"Hmph, the time has come, since you don't want to leave, then I will grant you!" Tang Ju gave him a cold look, raised his hand, and directly issued an order: "Start preparing for the execution!"

"Om-"

The spirit swords in the hands of the row of law-enforcing monks suddenly lifted up, and they rang together, and then the light trembled, and the chill was overwhelming.

"Captain Tang, no!" Ruan Ming hurriedly stopped him when he saw that he was about to give an order.

Tang Ju glanced at him, and said coldly: "Deacon Ruan, I'm sorry, it's your friend who doesn't know what's good and bad today, it's not that Tang Ju doesn't give you face. As a member of the law enforcement team, you naturally know According to our regulations, the execution time is up, if I delay and are seen by those elders, I will be the one who dies."

Ruan Ming was anxious when he heard this.

"Prepare—execution!" Tang Ju glanced at Yang Que and the two indifferently, and issued an order directly.

Dozens of cold and biting killing intents suddenly erupted from the spirit swords in the hands of those law enforcement monks, and gradually forced towards Yang Que and the others.

"Junior Brother Yang, hurry up! Leave Zhang Jian alone!" Chang Lin saw that Zhang Jian was hugging his leg tightly, refusing to leave. While he was anxious, he was also very moved. Seeing the people behind him about to make a move, he Hastily urged Yang Que.

Zhang Jian died with him because he had saved the lives of Zhang Jian's family, and the relationship between Yang Que and him was far from reaching the point of dying for him, so watching Yang Que stand Chang Lin was taken aback by not moving at all behind him.

"Junior Brother Yang, get out of there quickly!"

Ruan Ming and Mu Yiqing, not far away, shouted anxiously.

"I'm afraid it's too late to leave now." Tang Ju mocked, looking at the young man bathed in sunlight in front of the cliff playfully.

"Just because of your cultivation, you deserve me to make an exception for you in front of so many people?" Thinking that in order to save Ruan Ming's face, he had to make an exception for Yang Que to bring someone to visit his friend, Tang Opera's Annoyance suddenly rose in my heart. (to be continued..)
