Douluo's choice between light and darkness

Chapter 206 is back

The sky was gloomy, and a few dark clouds drifted across the gray sky.A gust of hot and humid wind came out, and irritability emerged spontaneously.

On a small road in the countryside, looking at the boundless fields, a slender figure was wandering by the side of the road.

He was wrapped in a black robe, with a large hooded shirt on his upper body, and a fox mask on his face, which completely covered his figure.

Although he tried his best to make himself appear inconspicuous, the cold aura that inadvertently leaked from him made him more conspicuous.

But at this time, no one wanted to talk to this rather strange-looking person.

Men, women, old people, children, all rushed in one direction.The young man stood aside, observing coldly through the holes in the mask, his scarlet pupils gleaming with light.

Due to the soul hunting operation launched by the Spirit Hall, several famous families in the empire were forcibly wiped out by it, and civil strife broke out in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Later, Emperor Xue Ye forcefully quelled the internal strife and launched a series of measures.

In order to maintain the empire's expenses and military expenditures, only taxes are collected, and taxes are doubled.

This makes the farmers who live in the countryside even worse.

The villagers who can only maintain food and clothing normally, how can they have so much money and population to deal with this life-threatening tax and corvee?

Escape, only escape! !Flee to the Star Luo Empire, or, escape to the sphere of influence of the Spirit Hall, at least there, there is not such a serious tax.

Everyone had anxious looks on their faces, and their bodies, which were thin due to lack of nutrition, were all burdened with a lot of burden.

As long as they pass here, they can live.

No need to go to war, no need to bear taxes.

Well, what an exciting life.

But among such a crowd, there was one person who stopped in his tracks.

This is an old man with a half-length gray beard and hair, staring at a pair of wire-rimmed glasses on the high bridge of his nose. His body is covered in dust, and he struggles to sit on the dirt clod by the side of the road.Full of hard panting.

He is too tired, nearly 80 years of age has not allowed his body to travel long distances.

He stared blankly at the long queue on the road, his thin face was full of bitterness.

There, mule carts lurched up the steep slope from the bridge, some farmers helping to push the spokes.The truck rattled up the slope and drove away, leaving everything behind, while some people were still scrambling in ankle-high dust.But the old man just sat there, not moving.He was too tired to walk.

.....................

"Old man."

The young man wearing a mask came to the old man and asked in an unrecognizable voice, "Why didn't you leave?"

"………tired…………"

"I can't walk..."

"Cough cough, cough cough!!"

The old man glanced at the young man who was also sitting on the ground.Immediately, his brows tightened, his lips turned pale, and a pained look appeared on his face.

"You don't look well."

"Well, I'm old and my health is failing." After coughing a few times, the old man frowned slightly and smiled at the young people around him.

"A farmer before me." The old man suddenly found a topic.

"Oh." The young man glanced at each other up and down, "I can tell."

"I have a lot of sheep and a few pigeons," the old man went on, "oh, yes, and a few dogs."

"You know, to raise sheep, you must have a few dogs. They are good at watching sheep."

"Why don't you bring a few..."

"No way, I'm old, I have to leave them behind."

The old man's eyes dimmed.

"Those master soul masters posted a notice in the village, saying that there will be a war here soon..."

"Oh, I can't take them..."

"Do you have relatives?" The young man nodded without much reaction.

"No………"

"They were dragged into the army... I guess they must have died..."

"…………………"

"…………"

"This is not a place to stay for long," the young man suggested, "If you can barely walk, there are carriages on the side road leading there. These carriages can take you to the Star Luo Empire."

"I have no acquaintance over there," he said, "but I thank you very much."

The old man looked at the young man wearily and blankly, and after a while he spoke again, in order to ask others to share his worries, "Those dogs are nothing to worry about, I can hold them firmly. Don't worry about them. But what about the sheep, you What about them?"

"Oh, they'll probably get by. They're just animals and they won't be killed."

"Do you think so?"

"Of course." The young man said while looking at the distant river bank, where the cart could no longer be seen.

"But what will they do under the fire of war? I was told to go because there was going to be a war."

"Is the pigeon coop unlocked?" asked the young man.

"No."

"Then they'll fly out."

"Well, of course it can fly. But what about the goats? Well, don't want to," he said.

"If you have had enough rest, I have to go." The young man urged him, "Stand up and walk around."

"Thank you." He said as he propped himself up, swayed a few steps, leaned back, and finally sat down again in the dust beside the road.

"I was keeping animals at that time," he said dully, but he was no longer talking to the young man.

"I'm just raising animals... I can't live anymore..."

…………

A young man walks aimlessly on an empty field: "I'm just raising animals, I'm just raising animals, I'm just raising animals..."

The young man murmured this sentence over and over again.

He stopped slowly, put his hands close to his face, and took off the mask.

The messy long golden hair was scattered in front of him, and the slender and sharp red eyes were staring at the setting sun.

At his feet lay a mummy.

He casually blasted out a burst of soul power, smashing the mummy at his feet into powder.

Under the moonlight, the powder was blown away by the wind.

"It's time to change the world."

The young man stretched out his arms, as if he was embracing the moon, and the expression on his face was covered with madness.

His figure is tall but not rough, cold and arrogant but domineering, like a king in the night.Just standing in place exudes a strength that looks down on the world.
