Volume 1: Wisdom of the Shotai Chapter 22: The Wise of the Shotai (22)

The twenty-six tribes crossed the red sea of the east in the south but inadvertently landed in the southern wilderness, and set up maple fragrant wood as the heavenly stem in the Kadanlan grassland, and then after about two hundred years of war, when the eight great fang countries were finally established, they built the center of the Lingtai of the city of Goya in the Goya Mountain, and established the Xingbi City in the Tianyu Mountain.

Rongzhou is 12,337,000 steps long from east to west and 7,954,500 steps wide from north to south (Note 1), and there are hundreds of large and small islands in the sea surrounding the mainland of Rongzhou.

The secular imperial power has changed many times in the past 800 years, and with each change, thousands of Terrans have died, and even exterminated and burned cities.

But no ruler will shake two cities: Gozai City, which rules the spiritual world of the Southern Great Wilderness, and Starwall City. This is a symbol of the most noble spiritual strength of the human race in the Southern Wilderness.

There is only one Heavenly Master in Goya City, Nanahoney, and the rest are all children.

The witches of Xingbi City are headed by Sikong Wuxian, and the next ones are the Great Witch, the Witch Priest, the Witch Doctor Peng, the Witch Girl, the Witch Shaozhen, the Witch Ceremony, the Witch Yindu, the Witch Shuxie, and the Ten Witches of the Witch Tuluo, each with its own responsibilities and duties.

There are hundreds of wizards under each of the ten witches, or distributed in various parts of Rongzhou for the people, or each picks and transports all kinds of fairy grass and hundred medicines for Xingbi City, or sets the wind and rain for the altar of the national community, presides over the sacrifices of the national society, dispels diseases, funerals, and blesses and prays according to the astrological divination of Gezai City.

Starwall City lives at the lowest level, serving many civilians and a small number of Iron Deliahs at all levels. The city is full of wandering civilians and iron untouchables who can neither leave the city nor be used.

When every Iron Brand Untouchable has no use value, if it is abandoned by its owner, the only chance to survive is to travel as far as the Maran Piji River to Snow Blue City and Lake Al Burn to dry salt, but how can an Iron Brand Untouchable with no money and no food reach Snow Blue City fifty million steps away?

When the jade of the imperial concubine of Ye Jiu came to the foot of Tianyu Mountain, the imperial concubine walked down, accompanied by three maids and a group of servants carrying food baskets.

Seeing the imperial concubine dismounted, many homeless civilians and iron-branded untouchables began to crowd and flock to it. Extremely poor wandering commoners and iron-branded untouchables know which royal families will give alms to Starwall, and which ones are good and which are evil.

With a wave of her hand, the servants with food baskets began to distribute the rice to the crowded civilians.

However, the Iron Plate Untouchables could not come and grab food from the civilians, and only when the civilians had finished collecting them could they give the rest to the untouchables.

The untouchables, kneeling in the distance and waiting for the alms of food, craned their necks in anticipation.

"My lord, use me, I've been hungry for two days!" A skinny man shouted, "I'll only eat one meal!" ”

"My lord, use me, I just have a broken foot, I have hands, I can weave rattan, I can do laundry, I only eat very little!" Another woman shouted.

When all the civilians had been given a piece of tsamba to eat, the other iron-branded untouchables swarmed up, their filthy hands scrambling for the basket.

The food in the baskets of the servants was distributed, and there were more than a dozen untouchables who did not eat, so they had to watch others eat and swallow their own saliva.

An iron-branded pariah with a crippled foot sits under the eaves with a dying boy in his arms.

Phantom Shan walked over, then took two steps back: "Why don't you take food?" ”

The untouchable said lightly: "Those who don't eat much are not much, so why give them to others?" ”

Phantom Shan frowned: "You're not afraid of starvation?" ”

The man sighed: "With the great Isanamu above, who can not be afraid of death?" Besides, it's better to die than to starve! ”

"Why did you break your foot?" Phantom Shan asked.

"I was beaten by my master." The man replied calmly.

"Why were you beaten?" Phantom Shan didn't look at him, and turned her face to look at other pariahs.

"Because the child was so hungry that I cried, I stole the figs from my master's house."

The man said disapprovingly, as if stealing was not a shame and that having a broken leg was no big deal.

Phantom Shan thought for a moment and said, "My garden needs to be repaired, and I can give a piece of tsamba every day." But there are snakes in the garden, are you afraid? ”

The man's eyes lit up: "I'm not afraid, I know that those snakes are from the southern Yejiu clan, I will respect them, and they won't hurt me." ”

Phantom Shan wondered, "How do you know that those snakes are from the south?" ”

The man laughed: "Everyone said that the eldest princess of King Yejiu died in that garden when she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, turned into red and green snakes, and looked south every night, but did not return south. ”

"Nonsense! Don't you know that you can't discuss the dead Princess Yejiu? Phantom Shan roared.

The man laughed again: "Because you are the second princess of King Yejiu, the new princess of Yejiu!" ”

With a disgusted expression, Phantom Shan turned to Dai He and said, "Take them back to clean up the garden and expel them in a month." ”
