Chapter 180: The Mortal World
Lu Zhi didn't suspect at all that the strong man in front of him didn't know the realm of a cultivator, he just thought that the other party was testing him.
I saw Lu Zhi smile and replied: "Senior, although Lu Zhi practices alone, he also knows the division of the realm of cultivation. It's just that I also know that my qualifications are too poor, and if I can advance to the god transformation stage in this life, I will be satisfied. ”
Yi Jiuxiao nodded, and asked again: "It's not enough to know the realm, can you see the realm?" ”
When Lu Zhi heard this, he was even more sure that this senior asked him because he had seen the wrong realm, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Then he replied: "Senior, I can see that the three of them just now are in the middle stage of the transformation of gods, and one is in the early stage of transformation of gods. ”
"It's okay, it's pretty good. ”
Yi Jiuxiao smiled slightly, at this time, he finally understood the cultivation realm of the Yangtian Continent, and what he had heard before was only a god.
Then, he unleashed an empty hand and grabbed the rings of the three men.
He threw two of the rings to Lu Zhi, leaving one ring in the middle stage of the transformation of the god himself.
"It's not easy for you to start cultivating, I'll give you these two rings, cultivate well, I'm leaving." ”
After finishing speaking, Yi Jiuxiao walked out of this stone cave, flew into the air, and flew towards the northeast of the Yangtian Continent.
Because he killed the people of Fuhumen, Yi Jiuxiao was also afraid that someone from Fuhumen would come to seek revenge, so he simply left.
He walked for a while, Lu Zhi also packed his things and left, these two rings were too precious to him, he had to change places to hide.
Yi Jiuxiao believed that Lu Zhi was not lying to him, and there should be mortal habitation on the northeast coast of the Yangtian Continent.
So now he has a clear goal, that is, to go to the northeast coast, to the sea of no return, and he can only go there.
On the rest of the seashores, although there are no major sects entrenched, with a group of cultivators, he is always an outlier.
Looking at the map, there are indeed marks about the Sea of No Return on it, which also verifies Lu Zhi's words.
It's just that there are still 90,000 miles to the beach of no return, and fortunately, the direction was biased to the northeast a few days ago.
If he hadn't encountered Jiang Lin's pursuit on the way, he probably had been flying northwest all this time.
On the way to the Sea of No Return, Yi Jiuxiao flew very high, deliberately avoiding everyone, and did not encounter enemies along the way.
Twenty days later, he suddenly felt a familiar aura in the air, which had been lingering in the depths of his dream.
In a trance, he thought that he had returned to his previous life, the Great Song Dynasty, and returned to his long-lost hometown.
This is a real mortal breath, a breath that is different from the Xiuzhen Continent, and can only be distinguished by experiencing it.
Yi Jiuxiao quickly woke up in a trance, overlooking the vast land, wondering if he had arrived at the shore of the Sea of No Return.
According to the location on the map, this place should be more than 2,000 miles away from the sea.
He originally thought that the coast of the sea of no return was the territory of mortals, but it turned out that this was not the case, and the breath of the sea of no return could spread so far.
For the sake of prudence, Yi Jiuxiao did not fall immediately, but continued to fly forward for more than a thousand miles.
Then, he slowly lowered his altitude and carefully observed the scenery on the ground.
There are mountains, rivers, roads, houses, and villages on the ground.
And there are farmlands, in which crops grow, and among them are farmers who are working hard.
Not bad at all, this is the world of mortals, Yi Jiuxiao is completely sure.
He did not hesitate to fall from the sky, but landed in a no-man's land, so as not to disturb the mortals.
After landing on the ground, I walked along the road and saw pedestrians not long after.
There were those on foot, those driving ox carts, those riding horses, and all sorts of things.
Yi Jiuxiao swept away with his divine thoughts, and all these people he met were mortals, without the slightest fluctuation of mana.
At this time, his heart really settled down, and what Lu Zhi said was indeed true.
After walking more than ten miles, he came across a market town, where thousands of people lived.
There are streets in the market town, and the buildings in them are quite low and simple, with the highest being no more than three storeys.
The streets are bustling with pedestrians, coming and going in and out of the shops along the street, buying and selling the necessities of life.
Yi Jiuxiao carefully observed these people and saw that they were all bartering when trading.
Bartering means exchanging one's own things with others, not coins made of gold, silver or bronze.
This method has been recorded in history books and is the oldest way of life, so I didn't expect to see it here.
Fortunately, the language and writing are the same, and although the accent is different, it can be understood.
Yi Jiuxiao stood at the door of a steamed bun shop, looking at the steaming steamed buns that had just come out of the cage, and wanted to buy some.
But he had nothing to barter, so he could only take out a minot, which was five taels long.
In the Kaizhou City of Qi in that year, these five taels of silver could buy hundreds of buns.
Now Yi Jiuxiao doesn't know the price of this bun, and he doesn't know if he can buy it, so he can only inquire first.
"Shopkeeper, I want fifty buns. ”
After finishing speaking, Yi Jiuxiao handed the silver in his hand to the owner of the bun shop.
The owner of the bun shop took the silver and looked left and right, and then turned it over and over, as if he didn't know what it was.
After a moment, he asked with a puzzled expression, "Little brother, what are you doing?"
The owner of the bun shop looks to be in his fifties, and Yi Jiuxiao looks to be about twenty years old, so it's normal to call him little brother.
"It's silver, and you can buy things. Yi Jiuxiao explained to the owner of the bun shop.
The boss shook his head and said, "I don't need your money here, I can't exchange things." ”
After finishing speaking, he returned the silver to Yi Jiuxiao's hands.
Yi Jiuxiao took the silver, smiled helplessly, and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him: "Little brother, give me the silver, and I'll buy you shells." ”
"Oh", Yi Jiuxiao didn't need to turn around, and Shen Nian checked that a middle-aged man had come closer.
The man was in his forties, dressed in a gray robe, and looked very neat, but he was also a mortal.
I saw that he took out twenty shells from a cloth bag on his body, which seemed to be a kind of seashell, pink and white.
"Twenty shells, in exchange for your piece of silver, whether to exchange or not. The middle-aged man in gray looked at Yi Jiuxiao with a smile on his face.
But Yi Jiuxiao did not immediately express his opinion, but looked at the owner of the steamed bun shop.
"Shopkeeper, how many buns can you buy for these twenty shells?"
The owner of the steamed bun shop replied: "If you don't lose money, you can buy a hundred steamed buns." ”
Yi Jiuxiao thought about it, it was really not a loss, just now he was going to buy fifty buns with silver, and now he can buy a hundred by changing them to shells.
So he said to the middle-aged man, "Deal." ”
After the three of them finished trading, the middle-aged man was about to leave, but was stopped by Yi Jiuxiao.
"Brother, do you still have this shell? I want to put on some more. ”
The gold and silver here may not be easy to use, the shell is the coin here, and when he finally met someone who knew the goods, Yi Jiuxiao wanted to change a little more.
"That's all I have, if the little brother still wants to change, how about going to my house?"
"It's fine. "After that. Yi Jiuxiao followed closely behind the middle-aged man.
After walking for more than half a mile, in front of a pharmacy, the middle-aged man stopped.
"I opened this pharmacy, how about the little brother go to the back hall and sit down?"
Yi Jiuxiao nodded, and followed the middle-aged man through the front hall of the pharmacy and into the back hall.
The back hall seems to be the man's usual place to entertain guests, and there are tables and coffee tables, which are very neat.
After taking a seat, the middle-aged man served tea, and then said, "My name is Dong Zheng, I don't know your brother's name?"
"Hello Brother Dong, my name is Song Yi. Yi Jiuxiao replied.
Dong Zheng nodded and asked, "Brother Song, are you from the island?"
This sentence Yi Jiuxiao sounded a little inexplicable, why did he think that he was from the island, and where was this island.
So he asked with a puzzled face, "Why does Brother Dong think I'm from the island?"
I saw Dong Zheng smile slightly: "Don't hide it Brother Song, I used to be a cultivator, occasionally went to sea with my friends, drifted in the sea after being attacked by demon beasts, and was finally blown by a storm to an island in the sea of no return, where I lived for some time, and the people on the island used this silver to trade." ”
As he spoke, the smile on Dong's face slowly disappeared and turned into a color of pain, and his words paused.
Yi Jiuxiao didn't interject, didn't ask questions, just listened quietly, he knew that Dong Zheng must have a lot of stories.
Sure enough, as Yi Jiuxiao expected, a moment later, Dong Zheng spoke again.
"I was amazed at first that there were hundreds of thousands of people living on that island, all of them mortals, but soon I found that my mana was running out and I couldn't even fly. ”
Speaking of this, Yi Jiuxiao interjected: "How did Brother Dong answer the mainland?"
Dong Zheng smiled bitterly, and then said: "At that time, I was terrified, thinking that the island was very strange, so I was in a hurry to leave, thinking that as long as I left. So I stole a wooden boat on the beach, sailed away from the island alone, and drifted in the sea of no return, which was more than two years, but fortunately I took some Bigu Dan on my body in time, otherwise I would have starved to death at sea, and finally came to the mainland. ”
Yi Jiuxiao nodded, and from Dong Zheng's description, it can be seen that there was danger and despair at that time.
"What happened later?" Yi Jiuxiao asked, wanting to continue listening.
"After arriving on the mainland, I continued to flee from this seashore of no return and walked towards the center of the continent, but I found that my spiritual root had been completely transformed by the Heine of No Return, and I had become a complete mortal, and I could no longer cultivate the truth. Yangtian Continent is a world of cultivation, and mortals can't survive, so in desperation, they return here and live with mortals. ”
