Chapter 14: The Blood and Tears of Heavenly and Earthly Laborers
The river here is not wide, and the water rushes out of the stream of the mountain in front of it, accumulates into a small lake on the gentle ground, and flows down the terrain into the distance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Iron Hook Boy poked his head out of Rongyue's arms, looking out vigilantly, the tense atmosphere when Li Ziqiu and Rongyue were driving the clouds just now scared the parrot, "Is it safe here?" I felt nervousness from you just now, was that Lihuo Zhenjun going to deal with us just now?".
Rongyue took out the parrot, "No, don't be nervous, let's rest here and then go!" You go around and find out! ”。 The parrot muttered with a broken mouth, "Do I have fairy power, let me go and investigate, what if I encounter a monster?" He flew towards the mountain.
Ziqiu and Rongyue freshened up at the water's edge and sat down on the soft grass, Rongyue asked, "Ziqiu, are we really going to Yaochi to find Tyrannosaurus Rex?" Li Ziqiu watched the calm lake surface continue to form small whirlpools under the impact of the current, "I don't know, I don't know what Bai Yujing is doing now?" Just now I took those immortal stones in order not to stiffen with the other party, and now we know too little about the situation in Kunlun Fairyland, we need to find someone to understand, otherwise, if you go on recklessly like this, you will suffer a big loss! ”。
Rongyue asked, "Then why don't we find a place to hide and live our own lives?" Anyway, we also came to Wonderland to avoid the enemy! Li Ziqiu shook his head, "It's different, the fairyland has obviously been divided now, we won't be able to hide for long before we will be discovered, and besides, we just planned to hide here temporarily, if we blindly dodge, it will affect our cultivation Dao heart, and the gains outweigh the losses!" ”。 This was realized only after the formation of the universe of the plum autumn god.
Li Ziqiu suddenly jumped up from the ground, ran towards the small lake, and picked up a black thing from a small whirlpool and ran back with the waves. When they arrived, Rong Yue found that Li Ziqiu had picked up a gray shirt, and the two glanced at each other, and at the same time looked at the high mountain in front of them, there was no doubt that the clothes were washed out of the mountain stream.
There was no shadow of the iron hook, and it seemed that the little thing had entered the mountain. Li Ziqiu pulled Rongyue's figure to flash quickly, and when he came to the foot of the mountain, the two carefully hid their traces and walked upstream along the mountain stream. The mountain is very steep, the water is fast, the mountain is densely forested, and Li Ziqiu saw an iron hook on a branch next to the mountain stream, pecking at something.
Li Ziqiu pulled Rongyue to appear next to the iron hook, and flew up in fright. "What for! I'm scared to death." Rongyue made a silent gesture, and the iron hook immediately shut up. Rongyue asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?" The iron hook hid on Rongyue's shoulder, and he also lowered his voice, "No, I just wanted to take a break, and you guys are here!" ”。
Li Ziqiu didn't dare to use his divine sense to check, this was the Kunlun Immortal Realm, Bai Yujing's Lihuo True Monarch was already at the level of Da Luo Jin Immortal, if the god in the mountain was also at the level of Da Luo Jin Immortal, it would be easy to find that he was using his divine sense to investigate, thus arousing vigilance. Everyone's consciousness is different, and if you use your consciousness to explore a place at the same time, you will perceive each other's consciousness. If Li Ziqiu doesn't release his divine consciousness, when his body feels the other party's divine consciousness, he can control his divine consciousness and make the other party's divine consciousness think that he is a stone or something else, so as to achieve the purpose of hiding from the other party.
Rongyue's divine thought has not yet been formed, so he can't hide himself with his divine sense, Li Ziqiu, for the sake of insurance, asked Rongyue and the iron hook to find a cave to settle down temporarily, "You guys wait here first, I'll go ahead to investigate," Before Li Ziqiu left, he left a divine thought on Rongyue's chest, releasing a faint glory. Rong Yue smiled, and Li Ziqiu also smiled slightly and disappeared at the entrance of the cave.
This is a continuous mountain range, after turning over two high mountains, in a narrow mountain stream, Li Ziqiu saw an unexpected scene, a house made of mountains and rocks is located on the edge of the mountain stream, people in the house from time to time haunted, Li Ziqiu pinched a trick stealth technique to launch, carefully gradually approached to observe.
Although stealth techniques are used, if there are immortals with high mana power, they can also find their traces, so Li Ziqiu is so careful, most of the clothes of the people here are old, and many of them are still patched. There don't seem to be many people living in such a large house, if it is all full, there should be two or three thousand people, but now there are only a dozen women in the camp, and there are more than a dozen old people, the women are washing clothes by the river, the old people are cleaning up the camp, and some people are doing something around them. There are no guards or anything like that, is this a tribe living in groups?
Li Ziqiu didn't notice the fluctuation of his divine sense, and after thinking about it, Li Ziqiu turned into an old man in rags, walked out from behind a house, and walked towards a few old men who were working together not far away. Several old men were beating the rice with expressionless faces, and each of the huge snow-white rice grains was as big as a mallet, and with the beating of the old man, they fell out of the rice, and then picked up by the old man behind him and put them in a huge wooden frame.
Li Ziqiu pretended to be an acquaintance and walked over, "A few old brothers, may I ask what kind of place is this?" Several old men looked at Ziqiu expressionlessly, silently unresponsive, Li Ziqiu said with a smile, "Why don't you speak?" One of the old men saluted Li Ziqiu and said, "Shangxian, please don't tease us poor people, we have already accepted our fate, Shangxian should put his mind on those young people who just came!" ”。
Li Ziqiu knew that the other party had seen through himself, the other party's cultivation was not high, and he didn't know how to see through himself, Li Ziqiu returned to his original appearance, "I'm sorry everyone, I changed just now, this is what I was as I was, what is this place?" Everyone still looked at Ziqiu silently.
Or the old man who spoke just now, said, "You don't know what this place is? Where are you from? Li Ziqiu said, "I just came here from the Nether, so I really don't know?" The old man looked at Ziqiu in surprise, "You also came to Bai Yujing from the Nether?" Li Ziqiu said, "No! I came to Kunlun Wonderland from somewhere else, I'm not from Bai Yujing! ”。
The expressions of several old men relaxed significantly, and they began to continue their work, and the old man who spoke just now said, "Young man, you go quickly, this is not a good place!" Li Ziqiu became more and more curious, "Uncle, I don't see that your cultivation is not high, why do you live here, and there are a large number of houses here, it seems that there are a lot of people, where have you gone?" ”。
Seeing that Li Ziqiu was not in a hurry to leave, the old man who spoke seemed to be a small leader, pulled Ziqiu to sit down next to him, and said, "Little brother is also from the Nether?" Li Ziqiu said, "Yes! The old man asked again, "Little brother came to Kunlun Wonderland for cultivation?" Li Ziqiu smiled, "No, I'm already an immortal, I'm here to visit relatives!" When the old man heard this, his eyes flashed with excitement, "Little brother's relatives are the great immortals of this fairyland?" Li Ziqiu said, "It's not a great immortal, it's an official of Yaochi!" ”。
The old man suddenly knelt in front of Ziqiu, "Please have mercy on me, for the sake of the lower realm, pity and pity me!" The other old men also knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and Li Ziqiu hurriedly helped the old man up, "Uncle, why is this?" Come on! ”。 The old man got up, let the others continue to work, poured a bowl of water for Li Ziqiu, and then began to speak.
The old man's name is Yuan Shoucheng, he has been here for hundreds of years, this is called Yuquan Mountain, it is the territory of Yuding Zhenren, one of the twelve golden immortals of Kunlun, the Jinguang Cave of Yuding Zhenren is a thousand miles east of this, under the mountain here is a huge fairy stone mine, it is the largest mine in Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain, these people belong to the people of Bai Yujing, and they were hired by Yuxu Palace to mine here.
Li Ziqiu asked, "How many of you are there, I think the rice you eat is also good." The old man smiled bitterly, "We have about 5,000 people, all of whom were deceived by Bai Yujing from the Nether, here, only non-stop labor can be exchanged for these jade fragrant rice, in the world, this jade fragrant rice may be a fairy meal, in the fairyland, it is just food to maintain food and clothing!" ”。
Li Ziqiu said, "In this fairyland, there are countless spiritual herbs and elixirs, and I see that the food is also rich, why do you have to work and eat this jade fragrant rice?" Yuan Shoucheng said, "The fairyland is like the world, every grass and tree is a master's thing, I am the lowest people here, how dare I move these fairy herbs and elixirs at will!" ”。
Li Ziqiu was very puzzled, "In that case, how did you get here, why don't you go back?" Yuan Shoucheng, who asked in one sentence, suddenly cried, burst into tears, and cried for a while, and then said, "It's all about seeking immortals and harming people, like me when I was in the world, I was a powerful person, just because I strayed into the path of immortals, and I couldn't extricate myself from it, blindly pursuing the art of immortality, and I wanted to become an immortal." When I was crying and begging, Bai Yujing's descendants appeared, we naturally gave up everything, and resolutely followed them to the fairyland, who knows, only here do I know that we need to continue to work for Bai Yujing in order to earn a small amount of immortal stones, only a large number of immortal stones can be exchanged for Bai Yujing's cultivation method, ordinary people, there is no way to continue to cultivate, the remuneration given by Bai Yujing can barely maintain our cultivation, and it is just for us to have the ability to continue to work for them. ”
Li Ziqiu asked, "Haven't you ever thought about resisting?" Yuan Shoucheng said, "Our cultivation is low, Bai Yujing's guards are all in the Divine Soul Condensation Period, and the highest level I waited here for is only the Golden Bone level, how can I resist!" ”。 Li Ziqiu said, "Then if you suffer like this, won't there be any other great immortal to take care of?" ”。
Yuan Shoucheng sighed, "We are also voluntary cultivators, we have said it before we came, everything is subject to Bai Yujing's orders, who would have thought that it would be like this, the immortals here have their own forces, there are low-level labor, they all hire Bai Yujing and Baishi Palace to work as coolies from the Nether Realm like us, they are simply a gang, who will contribute to us, now that I think about it, how similar we are to the people of the Nether Realm here!" ”。
Li Ziqiu said, "In that case, why don't you run away, there are many mountains here, and it's not easy to find a place to hide?" Wouldn't it be better if we had the opportunity to escape back to the Nether? Yuan Shoucheng said, "If I had waited for this kind of cultivation, I would have run away a long time ago, how could I wait until now, the guardian beast of Kunlun Wonderland is Lu Wu, I will be sent to death if I wait, besides, when we first arrived in Bai Yujing, we were marked by Bai Yujing's immortals, no matter where we hid, we could be found by them, once we were caught and punished and tortured by the soul, life was better than death, many people couldn't stand it, and they died directly." ”
Li Ziqiu asked, "You've been like this all the time?" Yuan Shoucheng said, "There are also lucky ones, who are favored by other immortals, and buy them back to help clean the cave house, or serve the immortal chief, and if you are lucky, you can follow the master to cultivate immortals, but such things can only be unattainable." It's really a blessing for us to be able to meet the immortal chief today, please see that the immortal chief is from the lower realm, save me and wait for a rescue! ”。
