The city lord explained everything in his crazy curses.
It turns out that the ghost tribe's invasion was due to a deal with him: if they handed over one person every month, their lifespan would be extended by one year. This is why so many young women have disappeared for no reason over the years!
The disappearance and murder of the men was caused by randomly killing several of them in order to prevent others from noticing anything unusual, thus creating the illusion that a monster was harming people.
In order to enhance his own prestige and win more people's support, the city lord was so cruel as to send his brother's only son to die. He was sucked dry of blood by the ghosts and thrown outside the city gate to be discovered by the people.
At this point, the people were grateful to the city lord and were convinced. Because they felt guilty, they did not have any other thoughts and naturally praised him highly.
But now, all the gorgeous cloaks of self-sacrifice and dedication have been ruthlessly stripped off, exposing the rotten skin of greed that harms oneself and others. Naturally, these people will not buy it.
So, everyone showed expressions of shock and disgust and began to shout at the top of their lungs—
"Burn him! Burn him! Burn him!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yumo and the others frowned in disapproval, looking at the group of people below the city wall with complicated eyes, and remained silent...
They didn't want to stop the fake city lord from being executed, but they wanted him to be burned to death under the name of twins.
They were certain that these people must have attributed all the tragic experiences they had experienced over the years to the existence of the twins, rather than human greed or the ambitions of the ghost clan.
The twins are not wrong, and the fake city lord is not wrong to want fairness.
The only thing he did wrong was that his methods were too extreme and brutal. He used vicious means to gain all this glory, and because of his own selfish desires, he caused countless people to suffer at his hands.
Both publicly and privately, they are extremely evil, unforgivable, and deserve the death penalty;
What is wrong is the ignorant tradition of these people for hundreds of years, which regards the dregs as treasures and life as worthless. They still believe in this even if rivers of blood flow, and they deeply hate those who try to break the rules and strongly resist them.
This is something that is deeply engraved in their bones, and it will not be eradicated overnight.
Bai Yumo understood, Shen Wuyou understood, and all of them understood, so they all frowned and looked deep as if they were facing a great enemy.
As the shouting gradually died down, the people all looked towards the six people who appeared on the city wall.
They knew that thanks to these immortals, they were able to resolve the crisis and survive the disaster safely, so they looked at them with tears of gratitude without reservation.
The six people looked at each other silently and nodded slowly in silence. Then Bai Yumo, the captain, stood up and knocked out the city lord who was still attacking crazily with a palm amid the cheers of the crowd.
With the city lord suddenly falling to the ground, the whole city was silent for a while. The people under the city all kept silent and stared intently at Bai Yumo in the center of the city wall.
A breeze suddenly blew, and the magnolia-colored clothes fluttered slightly. There was calmness in her dark pupils. She pursed her lips slightly, and her face was serious. She just stood there quietly looking at the people below, which made people feel a sense of oppression and deterrence.
For a moment, the people did not even dare to whisper. They just stood there in silence, standing on the ground like wooden stakes.
Just when everyone was confused and couldn't help asking, the man on the city wall finally moved his lips slightly.
The sound was neither hurried nor slow, not as deafening as a bell, but loud and clear enough to pass through everyone's ears. The combination of ethereal clarity and awe-inspiring grandeur did not feel out of place or abrupt, but rather filled the ears and was very convincing.
"Can you trust me? Can you trust the immortals of Xuwang Mountain?"
Everyone nodded immediately, and their voices were as loud as thunder: "Believe it!"
How could they not believe it? That was the immortal who saved them from fire and water! It was the goal that ordinary people like them admired all their lives.
Hearing this, Bai Yumo nodded and continued, "So, you can trust what I say?"
Another loud voice: "Letter!"
"very good."
Bai Yumo raised the corners of her lips slightly, and said in a voice as loud as a rainbow: "Now, I want to tell you something, something about the rules of our ancestors. I say it is wrong, can you believe it?"
People were puzzled. Their belief in their ancestors had been passed down from generation to generation. It was because of the ancestral rules that there were rules and regulations. Without rules, there would be no order. It was because of the teachings of their ancestors that they were able to live a stable life until now.
But now, the immortals say that the rules of our ancestors are wrong?
How can they accept this?
So the loud voice did not sound, and the people below began to whisper again, with puzzled expressions and frowns, as if they were seriously considering this matter.
Seeing this, Bai Yumo and his group all breathed a sigh of relief...
Fortunately, knowing how to think and question means that it is not completely hopeless, so this matter can still be discussed.
The only fear is that they are so ignorant that they cannot tolerate any questioning voices, which would be a real problem.
Seeing that their discussion was becoming more and more intense, the whispers gradually turned into a cacophony of noise.
Bai Yumo was not in a hurry either. She just stood there calmly, her back straight. The aura of an immortal suddenly burst out. She had an immortal appearance and a powerful aura. She stood with her hands behind her back, full of confidence, letting everyone look at her.
Everyone had some doubts, and some even swore that the ancestors could not be wrong!
However, seeing Bai Yumo's confident and arrogant attitude, his originally confident heart unconsciously retreated an inch, and he felt a little hesitant in his actions.
If you hesitate, it means that the determination in your heart is no longer stable.
Seeing this, Bai Yumo curled her lips into a smile. After the noise gradually subsided, she slowly spoke. Her voice was like thunder, and every word struck everyone's heart -
"What I want to tell you is that twins are innocent! The woman who gave birth to twins is even more innocent!"
When these words came out, everyone was shocked. For a moment, they even forgot to refute. They just stared blankly with wide eyes at the radiant Bai Yumo and listened to her continue to explain:
"After ten months of pregnancy, a child is born. It's common to have only one child, and twins are even more normal. This depends on the number of fertilized eggs. The more eggs there are, the more offspring there will be. Regardless of how many children are born, it does not violate ethical principles!
"The Tao is natural, and there are countless creatures. Life is a gift from heaven, and numbers are a blessing to all families.
"Whether it's twins or triplets, they are both a blessing to the family. Ordinary families have one child per birth, so twins are quite rare. Triplet or quadruple births are even rarer, so they should be cherished even more!
"As for the evil ghost baby, it's all nonsense!
“If a man does not do evil, God will not punish him!
"No matter how many children you have, they are all born from your mother's womb. They are all connected to you by blood and bones!"
"Don't blame those who have few children, don't ask for many children, everything is destined!
"We should follow the will of Heaven, treat all living things with kindness, be kind to others and ourselves, only then can we be fortunate enough to receive Heaven's grace..."
