Chapter 264: As a last resort

Zezhong City is the largest of the many scattered cultivation cities in the northwest, because it is close to the Chixia Mountains and rich in resources, with this unique condition, it continues to grow and develop, and from time to time some extremely rare heaven and earth spiritual objects will emerge, that is, the high-level monks of the four major sects, and many will come here to find the things they need.

After saying goodbye to Chen Yixuan, Su Qianyin can be said to have rushed to the Chixia Mountains with Tong Tong non-stop, and met many monk towns along the way, but he only went down for a short night's rest, and set off again the next morning, without much delay.

It was also this incident in Jinghe Town that left her a lot of lessons, and made her realize the difficulties of these secular immortal cultivation families.

Unless you really have the strength to be proud and protect yourself, you can still hide as far as you can from these troubles, and even so, you may be ashamed of yourself at any time.

Fortunately, the head of the Chen family was a good talker, and if she met a thick-skinned person, she would be desperate to let her stay, but I was afraid that she would have to assume the identity of a disciple of the Dao Immortal Sect.

And this kind of thing is exactly what she doesn't want to do, it's a very good thing to leave a good reputation for the sect when she goes out, but if it backfires, it makes people think that the Dao Immortal Sect is all bullying people, which is too unkind.

Zezhong City is very large, because there are layers of prohibitions set up around this city for hundreds of miles, not only can those who cultivate below the Dan not be able to fly in the air, but also the divine sense is also greatly hindered, so Su Qianyin is really not able to judge how big this city is, he can only see that this city is nearly a thousand miles in circumference, although the momentum is not as grand and open as that of the Dao Immortal Sect, but the dense variety of buildings also have a special flavor in the eyes.

If mortals want to enter this Zezhong City, they have to wait in line one by one and apply for a temporary residence token, and immortal cultivators don't need to be so troublesome, as long as they guard the city gate to verify their identity and pay five lower grade spirit stones, they can live in Zezhong City for a long time, and if they want to live in the city in the future, they will have to go through a series of complicated procedures.

Su Qianyin just sent Tong Tong to the Chixia Mountains to find his parents, passing by this city, so at most stay here for ten days and half a month, and will leave this place after inquiring about the news, the two simply received a monk jade card, handed over ten spirit stones, and entered Zezhong City in the greeting of the guards at the city gate.

The layout of the city is similar to the layout of the fang market that Su Qianyin has seen on weekdays, but it is more prosperous and lively.

Monks account for nearly ninety percent of the pedestrians walking on the streets, and only a few of them are mortals without spiritual power, and most of these mortals are doing some chores and dirty work in the city that immortal cultivators are unwilling to do, which is almost equivalent to serving the food and clothing of these monks.

But even so, every day, there are still many mortals who want to enter this Zezhong City to find an errand, the reason is that the treatment here is rich, and they are all counted in spirit stones.

These spirit stones may not even be disdained by Qi refining cultivators, but they are an extremely rare opportunity to make a fortune for these mortals who have a rather unhappy life in the world.

"Smack!" A shrill whip sounded, followed by a suppressed cry of pain.

Su Qianyin followed the prestige, and saw five or six mortals in coarse cloth clothes laboriously carrying the goods on a carriage, and they were so tired that they were sweating profusely.

And it was because a slightly thin young man was a little slower that he was whipped mercilessly by the overseer.

"Don't give me a quick move! Don't be lazy all the time, huh! If you delay the things that the immortal masters have explained, you cheap bones will not be able to pay for them even if they die! ”

A fat man with a fierce face beside the carriage glanced viciously at the six people who were carrying things, and shouted with a long whip in his hand.

The thin young man who had been beaten had a sallow face, and at a glance he knew that life on weekdays must be extremely hard, and although the wound of the whipping was hot and unbearable, he still gritted his teeth and carried a heavy bag of goods again, and followed the footsteps of several people in front of him.

The people around him seemed to be accustomed to such a scene, and they walked straight past without even looking at it.

Seeing this, Su Qianyin shook his head, it is not easy for anyone to live in this world, this is also their own choice, and others have no right to be unhappy because of this.

And she is just a small monk in this vast world, and she does not know where to return, and where does she have the ability to save all these suffering people from the sea of suffering?

Sighing slightly, Su Qianyin was about to leave here, and pulled the small hand she was holding, but found that Tong Tong next to her had no reaction, she turned her head and saw Tong Tong looking at the few mortals who were working hard to carry things in a daze, as if she was a little distracted.

"Tong Tong?" Su Qianyin couldn't help but call softly.

Hearing her speak, Tong Tong immediately came back to his senses, and then said with some confusion: "Sister, why do these people still have to do these things after working so hard, can't they live when they return to the outside world?" ”

Although she grew up in Qingyunfang City when she was a child, her grandfather is also a monk, and she can refine pills and has a skill, so except for after her grandfather was seriously ill and unable to move, she has never suffered anything before, and there are few mortal laborers in Qingyunfang City, so seeing this scene in this Zezhong City, it is inevitable that she will have a little puzzlement and sympathy.

Su Qianyin paused, then looked at Tong Tong's clear eyes and whispered: "Indeed, these people can live in the outside world, and they don't have to suffer these hardships, but who doesn't want to live a better life?" Although coming to this Zezhong City can only be used as the lowest level of coolies, it can be said that it is hard work, but the treatment in this place is also something they can't think of outside, as long as they can earn a good future for themselves, they don't have to do nothing in the outside world for a lifetime, what about temporarily suffering some? ”

Tong Tong blinked in confusion, not quite understanding what she was about to say.

Seeing her like this, Su Qianyin couldn't help but smile, touched her head and said, "Let's take Tong Tong as an example, although your grandfather is unfortunately gone, but relying on your ability alone, can't you live in Qingyunfang City?" ”

"Of course not." Tong Tong shook his head decisively, "Tong Tong will also make spirit runes to earn spirit stones for his own cultivation and buy pills!" ”

Su Qianyin nodded, "Yes, then why did you have to go all the way from the Dao Immortal Sect to this Chixia Mountain Range?" You must know that along the way, it is easy to encounter all kinds of dangers, and even encounter bad people with bad intentions, but you still want to come here. ”

Tong Tong frowned and whispered, "That's because Tong Tong wants to find my father and my mother......"

"Yes, you can cultivate peacefully by relying on your own strength, but you still want to come here to find your parents, even if there are many hardships and hardships along the way, you won't give up easily......"

Su Qianyin looked at the overseer and the mortal carrying things by the carriage not far away, and said in a somewhat distant voice:

"Maybe everyone has their own beliefs and wills in their hearts, they want to live a better life, they want to get more, and they want to try their best to change all the shortcomings that are present, which is why we know that many things will be full of obstacles, but we still resolutely choose to do it, and we have no regrets."

Tong Tong was stunned for a while, then nodded as if he understood, looked up at her and said, "Well, sister, I understand!" (To be continued.) )
