Chapter 937 Western Shenzhou
Yue Wei finally left on the boat. Chen Xuan chose to bear the mistakes he had made (not a mistake). This was his path and no one could shake him.
Some fate may not appear at the time, but in the distant future.
And the path that Chen Xuan is taking clearly leads to a more distant and brighter future.
In fact, it was not that Li Yuan could not find Chen Xuan, but that the heaven deliberately concealed it. This was Chen Xuan's choice and growth path. He had to bear all the good and bad consequences, variables and fate.
Once Yuan Zun interferes, perhaps it will be difficult for Chen Xuan to grow into that special existence.
Li Yuan also took the time to go to northern Shenzhou to look for traces of Chen Xuan, but after sensing the unknown changes, he went back silently.
If he really wants to do good for Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan will probably have to get through this crisis on his own.
In that city where Buddhism was flourishing, the skinny figure of the young monk walked farther and farther away, as if he had embarked on a road of no return, but also as if he was walking ahead of all living beings, turning into a beacon and leading the way in a new direction.
......
Sail across the ocean.
Even though it was a large ship belonging to a Buddhist temple, Yue Wei could still see all kinds of creatures on the ship.
This is a Buddhist ship, but it will also accept many people who have nowhere to go and bring them to the more peaceful and tranquil western China, hoping to start a new life.
And the time spent traveling across continents can be measured in years.
If it weren't for those monks who dealt with the raging waves and searched for food, it would be difficult for the ships built with today's spiritual technology to complete the journey.
The boat can barely hold on, but the people on board may not be able to hold on.
After drifting on the sea for several years, all I could see were blue waves. I ate sea fish and dry food every day. There was rarely clean water to drink, and I could not see any land. It was as if I was trapped in the sea.
Except for the high-ranking monks, all the practitioners on the ship were hired and paid with some gold and silver. They would not be lazy in doing their work, but they were not very proactive either. As for their attitude towards the weak people, they were satisfied as long as most of them did not die of hunger or thirst.
If you want to eat and drink well, you naturally have to have enough money. Some practitioners raise the price and ask for too much, bullying these ordinary people who have nowhere to escape anyway as they are floating on the sea!
These people who were so poor that they had to flee their hometowns had no money and could only live a tight life every day relying on the fresh water and dry food provided by the Buddhist monks.
Occasionally, some people died of starvation, some died of thirst, and some went crazy. After years of drifting on the sea, such situations were natural and frequent.
But the hired practitioners didn't care about this and had no mercy.
In any case, in the eyes of these practitioners, the people on the boat are losers. They just can't survive in one place, so they think of escaping and dream of starting a new life.
Under the scarce and boring material life, the mental state will be shaken, fear will breed, and despair will spread.
Those people who were already refugees and had nowhere to go were even more desperate. They didn't know how to face their unknown life, and they didn't dare to guess what life would be like after arriving in Western China.
On every trip back and forth, there are always people who are discouraged and choose to commit suicide by jumping into the sea.
Every day on the ship, monks chanted mournfully, mourning the loss of life.
But they couldn't persuade those people. Even though they knew the destination was in western China, the endless waves would always drive people crazy.
Even among the Buddhist disciples who were at sea, some could not bear it and were unwilling to endure the loneliness any longer. After the voyage, they chose to return to secular life and suddenly discovered a lot of beautiful things in life...
Yue Wei has awakened her memories of the past and has relived all eternity, so she doesn't care about these little bits of loneliness.
For truly powerful practitioners, a retreat can last for dozens or even hundreds of years, so this little journey is nothing.
However, seeing those desperate people committing suicide by jumping into the sea, Yue Wei still felt sad and a little suffocated.
She is also a human, but she was once a powerful person, but she still considers herself a 'human'.
I once had many conversations with Li Yuan in the underworld. According to my master, when Anyue unified the human world, even if there was no looting on the streets, at least with the help of spiritual science, everyone would have enough food and clothing.
She was also happy and yearned for that peaceful and tranquil era. After hearing Li Yuan's description, she was very impressed with many of Anyue and Anshan's policies.
It's a pity that now the world is divided into four major divine continents, Anyue has gradually become nameless, and the glory of spiritual science has dimmed, as if some things have changed back to the way they were.
This boatload of desperate people represents not only a group of people with nowhere to go, but also the gradual corruption of the times.
In just a few hundred years, dynasties and empires have emerged, people have been fighting each other, and wars have continued. The situation has returned to the state before Anyue appeared, and it has become a mess again.
Even in the northern Shenzhou, where Buddhism took root, there are still countless countries fighting against each other. Beneath the seemingly prosperous surface, lies the sorrow of displacement.
When humans themselves no longer care about their own lives, as long as a disaster occurs, 90% of the human population will become prey and be slaughtered at will.
Yue Wei was born into the primitive human race thousands of years ago. She has protected the human race era after era. She is both heartbroken and helpless about this trend.
Human hearts are too complicated, interests are entangled, and the fighting will never end.
Even if the Human Emperor were alive, he would not be able to eliminate all of this.
The human race rose up because of resistance, but was also limited by internal fighting. This is an unsolvable trend, like reincarnation, repeating itself again and again.
Wait until several years have passed.
The ship finally docked at the shore, but the number of people who could actually set foot on the land of western China was less than 60% of the number when they first set out.
A small number of people could not endure the years of wandering life, and died from illness, hunger and thirst, or jumping into the sea.
But those who persevered did see hope.
At any dock in western China.
At every port, there are some spiritual beasts with good cultivation, carrying a large amount of supplies, distributing food, clean water, and even a small amount of money to the people getting off the ship.
There were also a few spirit beasts that looked like humans, sweating profusely, stir-frying hot food in a big pot on the spot.
"Everyone has worked hard to come here from afar."
"We have Anshan in Western China. We dare not say that we can make everyone get what they want, but we will definitely do our best to let everyone live a good life."
At the dock, a huge spirit beast took on the form of a human, but still had thick hair and a huge wolf head.
Although he looked like a wild beast, his voice was muffled and he seemed very honest.
Many people were frightened at first, but when they saw that the spirit beasts had no intention of hurting anyone and looked at the hot food, they gradually relaxed and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Is this... Is this the Western Shenzhou where Anshan is in the story...
Obviously, after so many years of changes, Anshan also knows that every time a ship docks, it will bring some poor people.
They are willing to flee their hometowns and risk their lives crossing the ocean, hoping to find hope of survival in the western land of China.
There may be bad people among them, but after arriving in Western China, whether they are good or evil will gradually become clear in life.
After Li Yuan returned, he learned of this situation and gave orders through Da Hu, arranging for many creatures of Anshan to go down the mountain to train and settle down in these docks to provide some warmth to these poor people.
The giant wolf commanded the spirit beasts to distribute large amounts of supplies to every citizen who got off the ship, and gave them comfort and encouragement, even asking about their conditions and arranging shelter for them.
Those practitioners who were indifferent and arrogant on the sea, when they saw the spirit beasts sent by Anshan to guard this place, their attitudes changed instantly. They saluted respectfully, called them fellow Taoists, and looked friendly.
Yue Wei got off the boat and saw this scene, and she smiled for the first time in a long time.
"Not bad, stupid master..."
