Chapter 726: Seeing all living beings, are you willing to light a lamp and use the fan as evidence?

"I'm very sorry, but today's subsidies have been distributed. We will no longer register or receive new arrivals." The witch said to the latecomers. "You can come earlier tomorrow."

"Ah? That's why..." He looked at the sky, scratched his head, and felt a little regretful, "No wonder everyone gets up so early in the morning..."

"My friends all said that going to Kamisato Palace would only result in a cold reception, and there would be no relief at all."

"It turns out that six or seven o'clock is too late."

He looked at the witches and guards who were packing up their stalls and returning home.

The guard curled his lips.

Those who can get up early are usually the ones who need help the most. There may be latecomers among them, but they should not be at the end of their rope.

"Mr. Jiang Yi, please accompany me to visit Inazuma Castle now." Kamisato Ayaka invited.

"Okay." Jiang Yi nodded.

Thomas arranged the boat.

The three of them returned to Inazuma Castle by boat.

Don't look at the scenery, but read the announcements and the messages from the people of Inazuma.

This is the thing that best reflects the state of a country.

The first thing Jiang Yi saw was the wanted order and the reward.

The charges are listed under each avatar.

Includes: chasing lightning; robbery; night raids; murdering superiors; distributing money and property to innocent villagers in an attempt to rebel.

Chasing lightning; gathering together; pirates; robbing officials; ambushing samurai; kidnapping his old mother as a hostage in an attempt to resist the government.

There will be a generous reward for capturing the above-mentioned people and their accomplices alive or executing them!

"It looks like robbing the rich to help the poor." Jiang Yi thought to himself and went to look at the next notice.

A recruitment advertisement or notice issued by Tianling Fengxing.

"The war against the rebels is now going on at full steam, and we only need one final blow to quell the rebellion! I ask all young warriors to work together and join the cause of the crusade! Come and join the army! Lest you regret not being able to contribute to the country when peace comes!"

"Please consult the town magistrate's office regarding matters related to joining the army."

Except for a few who were fooled, most people wanted to spit when they saw this announcement.

"War is really a people-devouring monster..." someone left an angry message.

"Those who have never served in the army, how can you judge a war of justice! The rebels who came to Inazuma Castle have been defeated, so you can point fingers here!" The person in charge of the announcement immediately attacked.

Jiang Yi frowned.

Kamisato Ayaka's eyes were filled with sadness.

"Is that so? My husband injured my brother on Bayun Island. He may never be able to walk again."

"And then there was no news of my husband... maybe he died at the hands of a traitor, who might have been a respectable warrior in the past?"

"I don't see the point of this war. I won't send anyone to join the army anymore."

The comments from the public below became increasingly intense.

Family members killing each other and separation of flesh and blood are the sufferings of the world.

"Don't think you can slander without responsibility by being anonymous. Such anti-war remarks are propaganda by the Coral Palace rebels! Graffiti on the conscription notice is not allowed! Once such anti-war people are found, they will be severely punished!"

"Attention! Families that have received military service certificates must send at least one adult of appropriate age!"

Jiang Yi recalled his journey from Konda Village to Inazuma Castle. Most of the people he saw were children, old people, and women. Apart from those servants, the proportion of ordinary men he saw was not large.

Among a group of resentful and questioning messages, there are also those who compromise.

"But since Lord Kujo's own eldest son is also fighting on the front line, what can we complain about? And I heard that Master Masahito is kind and considerate of his soldiers. I really hope to be assigned to his command."

"Sala-sama is also good... Although she is known for her strict military discipline, she is absolutely fair in rewards and punishments and has no selfish motives."

Suddenly he added silently.

"Among the Tianling followers, there are not many leaders like them..."

Tenryo Bugyo, Kujo family, a real giant in the eyes of the Inazuma people.

The Kanjo Bugyo was the financial center of Inazuma, responsible for national finances, while the Tenryo Bugyo was the security chief of Inazuma, responsible for enforcing government orders.

Kujo Sara, the executor of the "Eye Hunting Order", led the Kujo Army to suppress the rebels on the battlefield while continuously recovering the "Eye of God" from Inazuma. He has extraordinary military power.

The entire Tenryo Bugyo is in charge of all the shogunate's armed forces except for the "Okujishu" directly under the Raiden Shogun and the "Zhumoban" commanded by the Shrine Bugyo Kamisato Ayato. There is almost no one in Inazuma who can take on the role, and even the powerful holder of the Eye of God has to retreat.

In comparison, the social practice seems particularly inconspicuous.

Even if they were against the war, they only had some supporters among the lower classes of the people, and that was not enough to shake the two people who supported the war.

Many people still dream of returning victoriously from a battle and bringing glory to their family.

Kamisato Ayaka felt this powerlessness and wanted a strong external force to bring about a turnaround.

The advantage of the community ministers is that they can communicate with the gods, lead sacrifices, and socialize well with the gods. But now that the gods' will has been decided, the financial and military power are in the hands of the other two ministers. Their words and power are completely at a disadvantage.

"I hope the war can stop and the Eye Hunting Order can be lifted..." Kamisato Ayaka whispered, looking at Inazuma Castle which was much quieter than before.

Many people who returned from a short vacation on the front line of Bayun Island found that their parents had grown old, their wives had become haggard, and their friends who used to be very talkative had become silent.

Family members cannot be together, and the war stories and so-called victories sent home are even more heartbreaking and painful.

Jiang Yi and Kamisato Ayaka came to a dojo.

There is also an announcement here, and the old swordsman speaks angrily.

"I, Ryunosuke, hereby announce that the Military Strategy Dojo will be permanently closed from today onwards."

"The so-called 'Way of the Sword' is the art of protection. It should not be used as a weapon to kill brothers."

"In recent years, I have witnessed many tragedies of students killing each other. Although I dare not call myself a loving father, my conscience as a teacher is deeply hurt."

"Many sins should be stopped now."

Kamisato Ayaka looked at the last statement that caused the other party to be persecuted.

"Therefore, the Military Strategy Dojo is permanently closed and will not be reopened. Disciples are also strictly prohibited from serving in the Kujo family."

He openly defied the order of Heaven and now he can only leave.

"Sword of Protection." Jiang Yi looked at the swordsmanship in the other party's heart. From Mondstadt's West Wind Swordsmanship to Liyue's swordsmanship, to Inazuma's swordsmanship, the foundation of most swordsmanship is protection.

Swinging the sword to protect, this is probably the same principle and spiritual heritage that the countries of Teyvat have learned from the war five hundred years ago.

"Thanks to the foresight of Kujo Tenryo Fukyou Koyuki-sama, the implementation of the Eye Hunting Order was as swift as lightning, and those who attempted rebellion all abandoned their homes and fled."

"We are now renting out or selling the houses abandoned by the fugitives at low prices. Tianling will fulfill his responsibility of guarantee, and the houses are absolutely safe!"

The Lord Takayuki in it is the current head of the Kujo family, the Tenryo Bugyo, Kujo Takayuki.

"Houses!" Jiang Yi looked at the advertisement. Although he had a dream of owning properties in various countries, it would be a desecration to his Taoism if he bought these low-priced houses.

"The Manye family is long gone, otherwise I could help him buy the house back."

While people below are fighting to the death, those above are making huge profits from the war.

After walking through the entire Inazuma City, Jiang Yi had a better understanding of Inazuma's current situation.

In the depressing atmosphere, the only place for Inazuma residents to vent their emotions is "Yaedo".

"Yaedo" belongs to the chief priest Yae of Narukami Taisha Shrine, who adheres to the principle of "treating everyone equally in front of their hobbies." The reader exchange meeting will be held as usual, and readers from both the shogunate and the rebel-controlled territories are welcome to our company!

Tianling Fengxing accused him of welcoming rebels to participate in frivolous activities with great fanfare. Was this a violation of etiquette?

But the Narujin Taisha Shrine issued an attack, "Since His Majesty the Shogun has not prohibited it, it is feasible. The Tenryo Bugyo is making comments on it. Is that beyond their duty?"

"Besides, why are the people who happen to live under the rule of the rebels called 'rebels'?"

Jiang Yi knew that this place, in addition to adding a bit of color to the repressed Inazuma, was also a place for the society's executives and the resistance forces to communicate secretly, exchanging information in the name of the Readers' Club.

After seeing everything, the three returned to Kamisato Palace.

"Mr. Jiang Yi, are you willing to give Linghua another answer?" Shen Li Linghua looked at Jiang Yi, "You have written on your fan 'The immortal way values ​​life, and it is boundless to save people'. Linghua wants to ask, is this person a living being?"

Jiang Yi looked at the girl, a smart girl, a kind girl who was willing to plead for the residents of Inazuma.

A girl who dares to speak frankly, ask for advice on the way to immortality, and inquire about his spiritual heart.

"All living beings suffer, and the immortal way protects the world and helps people. Can it benefit Dao's wife?"

"Master Jiang Yi, you are a man of great magical powers and wisdom. Are you willing to light a lamp for the present Inazuma? Join me and become a partner in facing the lightning."

Kamisato Ayaka bowed solemnly, asking and inviting.

Jiang Yi stood with his hands behind his back and looked towards the direction of Inazuma Castle.

"Inazuma is the kingdom of the Thunder God, and I am an outsider."

Kamisato Ayaka's eyes dimmed. Is she going to refuse?

As an outsider, he has no connection with Inazuma. Inazuma is a strange country belonging to General Thunder, one of the seven rulers of the mortal world. All sufferings and happiness should not be interfered with by outsiders.

No interests, no emotions, just based on one's own wishful thinking.

"But... just as you said..." Jiang Yi turned around and looked at the girl whose eyes had brightened up again, "The immortal way saves the world and pities all living beings. Naturally, it is not the love of one country or one city. All living beings are equal, and the suffering of the people cannot be ignored."

"Life is precious, so I wish to... 'Stop the war!'"

Kamisato Ayaka was excited, but she still said reservedly: "Then... from now on, we are partners on the same front."

Her eyes moved as she looked at the fan in Jiang Yi's hand.

"As partners, why don't we use the fan as proof of our alliance?"

Young Master Jiang Yi was a powerful helper. After he agreed, she suddenly felt unreal and wanted to hold on tightly to the contract with Liyue.

"Ah! It's okay if you don't have it!" Kamisato Ayaka suddenly backed off again. This sudden idea of ​​a contract made her nervous again, afraid of being rejected.

Jiang Yi looked at the fan in his hand that he had made and had only held for a few days.

"I agree." He smiled and handed over the closed folding fan.

After making a promise, adding a sense of ceremony will make people's memories more precious.

"Well, then this one of mine... is for you." Kamisato Ayaka handed over the dance fan with the Kamisato family crest.

Fans were exchanged in the courtyard of Kamisato Palace.

This is the covenant against Eternity.
