259 Prohibition [Three Watches]
They walked this way for a month, during which time they made many detours, and in some places they made a few days of detours in order to avoid the town.
Following the team all the way in this way, Nuomi knew that there were all kinds of immortal cities of different sizes in the Tianwu Kingdom. Some immortal cities are not entirely inhabited by monks, there are still some secular warriors in them, and there are also descendants of monks who do not have spiritual roots, but they can also live in those immortal cities and eat together.
The environment inside those immortal cities is naturally much better than the famine outside, at least they can eat a full stomach.
When Nuomi wandered at the bottom of the mountain before, he never paid attention to whether he had ever passed by such a town, and now that he thinks about it, those who look at the environment is particularly good, but it is particularly difficult to blend in, must be the fairy city. The soldiers guarding in front of the gate of the fairy city would occasionally show kindness and share some food and drink with her.
The life of these people in the fairy city is better than that outside, and their natural mentality is better than that of those disaster victims outside.
After stepping out of the border of the Tenmu Kingdom, the drought situation has been greatly reduced, and the road has gradually become greener.
It's just that it's not easy to get through the borders of the country.
It is these monks who can pass smoothly between the checkpoints of various countries. In order to prevent the disaster victims from the Tianwu Kingdom from wandering to other countries, near the city wall, Chu Yuanguo sent additional soldiers to defend it, and even sent a group of low-level monks to guard the border country wall, checking the people coming and going.
It was also through this time that the glutinous rice learned that the jade plate used to enter and exit Xianyi City could still be used on the border checkpoints. Even if it's a monk like them, not everyone is able to fly with a sword. In order to be able to pass smoothly from the checkpoints of various countries, such a jade plate is still very necessary.
It is said that there are some countries that specifically want to invite monks to their own country, and they do not hesitate to do anything, it is best to be able to recruit disciples, and at worst, they can stay in this country and give other countries some deterrence.
When they heard Su Dingbang say this, Nuomi was still a little incomprehensible, and after thinking for a long time, he could only ask, "Why do these countries have to find monks to go inside, like us, even if we are in that country, we will not accept more apprentices...... Even if it was collected, those mortals would definitely not be able to cultivate to become immortals. Could it be that those kings are thinking about taking the elixir? Nor would there be such a need for such a large number of monks. ”
Su Dingbang laughed, thinking that glutinous rice was a little doll after all, and said to her, "The elixir is one aspect, and what is more important is actually the strength of our monks. If there are too many monks in a country, the other countries will not dare to send troops to attack at will. Since these monks are really in this country, and they are often appeased by the king, they still have to contribute something to this country. When the time comes, if someone who doesn't have long eyes knocks on the door, he should also throw a few spells to give himself some face. ”
"But...... But ......" Nuomi puffed out a little face for a long time, and finally straightened out his thoughts, so he asked again, "But cultivators, shouldn't they ask less about such an earthly world?" I just distributed a steamed bun to the people outside, and I was seen and said for half a day, this kind of ...... Even if it affects the fortunes of the country and hurts the secular people and soldiers, isn't it a good thing? ”
Su Dingbang and the others naturally laughed again, looked at the monks who were still standing on the high wall beacon on the side, then stretched out his hand and pointed at them, and said, "See those who are not." You've seen what kind of cultivation those are. Such a monk, in the cultivation of immortals, lacks talent, and has a lot of distractions in his heart, and he can't go far. If they honestly go down the path of cultivating immortals, but for only one or two hundred years, and if they cultivate for a lifetime, they can only live for so long and see no hope. It's better to be powerful and blessed in this world, so that you can live a more beautiful life. ”
Another martial artist said with a smile, "What you said is something that only a monk with a little mind will care about." If they don't see any hope of breaking through the enlightenment period in this life, those monks will give up their cultivation thoughts. Occasionally, I concentrate on cultivation just to appear more capable in front of outsiders. It's like some third-rate martial artists in the world, after all, they don't have any place in the martial arts, so they can only go to the martial arts hall in the countryside, and they can be regarded as generals in the dwarf. ”
"But...... This...... Here's how they ...... Is it completely different from us? "Glutinous rice is still a little young, and it is very simple and upright, and there is not so much thought in the little brain. Now that I suddenly heard Su Dingbang and them mention such a different way of living, I felt very unacceptable.
"What's the solution? The spiritual root talent is predestined by nature. No matter how hard these monks work, they can't change their talent to inferiority, and they are unwilling to work hard all their lives, so they can only choose this path. Du Hui said a word on the ben with emotion, and then went to rub the head of glutinous rice again, "They look like they are living a chic life, but they are actually cautious." is in front of the king, there is extraordinary force, but in fact, it is not the same as the eagle claws of the king. Don't let that kind of monk mess up your mind, just practice hard. ”
Nuomi is still the first time to come into contact with these things outside, listening to it is very confused, and I can't think about it very clearly, let alone know where to start, so I can only keep these questions all the way in my chest, and when I meditate and practice at night, I quietly went to the ethereal illusion and pulled the leopard to talk. The leopard didn't bother with her, just biting the tip of his tail, glancing at her, stretching out his paw and patting her on the head.
Before, she always felt that the way of this world was very simple, and when she wandered, she was surrounded by the same victims, but after she reached the top of the mountain gate, each monk lived a very uniform life. It was only after she came here to work as a casual cultivator that she discovered that different monks had different ways of living.
The monks who were looking at their jade plaques from the beacon tower were not very welcoming to them, probably for fear that they would take their place. On the contrary, the worldly soldiers, whenever they saw them like this, would become more enthusiastic and invite them to the city to see it.
Su Dingbang naturally didn't have such a mind, they just barely coped with it, and then got back on the road.
It was the first time that Nuomi had gone to a place outside the Tianwu Kingdom, and it had been a long time along the way, and in a place where there was no one, they saw that Nuomi was very tired, so they persuaded Nuomi to sit on the top of the foal.
After walking for a long time, I finally saw the path they had raised.
"Now, see there's no valley over there. The place that recessed in there was the place mentioned in the mission. Because the fairy mist shrouded above was said to be a poisonous gas, many monks who wanted to enter the valley were blocked out. Su Dingbang took the long sword and pointed to a certain valley, and asked the glutinous rice sitting on the foal tower to look over.
Glutinous rice squinted her eyes and looked all the way there, and her eyes were a little blurry, and she vaguely felt that between the mountains and forests shrouded in layers of gray fairy mist, it seemed that there was indeed a small mountain col.
When he actually came to the front of this place, Nuomi realized why this path had not been discovered by the monks next to him.
They were still some way from the valley now. It seemed that the valley had sunk deep into the boundaries of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom, and the place where they were standing now did not belong to the Heavenly Martial Kingdom.
As for the continuous immortal peaks there, it was impossible for mortals to enter it, so it became an indivisible territory.
"It seems that there is a valley," Nuomi sat on the top of the foal tower, her vision was also higher, and she built a pergola and looked at it for a long time, and then she spoke with some hesitation, "But the fairy fog over there is really so strict, gray, I can't see it clearly." If those immortal mist are poisonous gases, wouldn't it be bad for us to walk in like this? ”
"Don't worry. We have already entered it once before, and although the valley is shrouded in poisonous gas and fairy mist, there is no immortal mist in that valley. We also inquired with the monks who went around to the front, and although they encountered many demon beasts along the way, they were never harmed by the fairy mist. It was as if those immortal mist were just Pan Heng above the valley. We all suspect that the fairy mist was actually a barrier left by some monk. ”
"Oh...... Barriers. Nuomi nodded, feeling that this statement was still relatively safe. But when she heard Du Hui say this, she suddenly reacted again, "If there is a barrier on this valley, and there are many fairy grasses growing in it...... It can't be the weedy garden encircled by some great power, right? ”
What she said was probably something that Su Dingbang and the others had never thought about, but now when they heard her say this, everyone was stunned.
The so-called wild grass garden is actually very similar to those medicine gardens and medicine fields on Qingquan Peak, except that such a medicine garden is not on a certain fairy peak, nor in any cave, but after being discovered by a certain power, the land is demarcated as a boundary, and a place where the fairy grass grows vigorously is divided into its own territory.
Because such a site is in the wild, it is called a weed garden. Although these places seem to be ownerless, they are actually fenced. If an ordinary monk accidentally touched the formation outside, he would be injured at least or die at worst. Monks like them, who went around the path to pick fairy grass, might be retaliated against if they were discovered.
Su Dingbang had never encountered such a place before, nor did they expect that they would have the power to enclose the entire valley like this, so they had never thought about it.
Now through the mention of glutinous rice, they have also changed their faces. (To be continued.)
