Chapter 392: The Price
After listening to this, Wang Yuze finally understood what was going on. It turned out that Han Yan and Cong Cong had been there when they first entered the cultivation realm, and since they had been there, everything would be easy to do. But before going again, Wang Yuze has one more thing that must be confirmed.
"Palace Master, the female cultivator who came back with Ruoxi is named Lan Xi, I don't know where she is now?
After hearing this, An Yao nodded and replied: "Yes, Lan Xi also went with her, after all, she has just started cultivating, and blindly retreating and cultivating is not the best policy, so Ruoxi also took her there." ”
In this case, Wang Yuze felt that there was no need to stay any longer, and it was better to send Hanyan and Ruoxi as soon as possible.
"I already understand, Palace Master, I'm going to Bayan Star to find Ruoxi. ”
Seeing that Wang Yuze was about to rush there non-stop, An Yao asked suspiciously: "You are so anxious to find Ruoxi, what happened?"
After hearing this, Wang Yuze hurriedly waved his hand, he was not in a hurry to go to Bayanxing, but worried about the second batch of immortals who arrived from the immortal world at some point.
"Palace Master, you misunderstood, nothing happened, it's just that I'm going to merge Yan'er and Ruoxi together, and I still have personal matters to deal with after that, so I'm in a bit of a hurry. ”
After listening to Wang Yuze's words, An Yao completely put her heart down, but Mu Hanyan, who knew Wang Yuze very well, glanced at him meaningfully, as if he felt something from his inadvertent mentality.
Bayan is a planet that is not close to the twilight constellation, but it is not far away. This is a planet where cultivators and mortals live together, somewhat similar to Qihua Star. And the Ancient Desolation Principle is a natural barrier for Bayanxing, completely splitting a continent into two countries.
The Ancient Wasteland is a name that has been handed down from ancient times by the inhabitants of the neighborhood, and it has never been changed. Because the interior of the ancient wasteland is either barren mountains or swamps, or arid deserts, it is not suitable for human survival at all, so it has always been called the ancient wasteland.
Due to the large area of the ancient wasteland, if the two countries want to fight, they must first set foot on the ancient wasteland, but in this way, the price paid will be greater, let alone annexing another country, I am afraid that there will not be many remaining troops after walking through the ancient wasteland, so although the two countries are on the same continent, they have always been peaceful.
Although the two countries avoided fighting, but in order to make a living, ordinary people took the risk of taking their own country's specialties to the opposite country to sell, some things that looked inconspicuous in their own country, but when they arrived in the opposite country, they became scarce, as long as you survived and walked back and forth, then you are likely to get rich overnight, which attracts many ordinary people who would rather risk their lives to rely on this way to make money.
Although it was true that you could make a lot of money at the beginning, with the accumulation of time, the exchanges between the two countries gradually increased, resulting in things that were very sought-after in the past are no longer so rare now, which makes it more and more difficult to make money.
Bayanxing Nanqi Country is a country next to the ancient wasteland, located in the south of the ancient wasteland, and there is a stockade on the border of the Nanqi country, called Anping Ferry.
At first, Anping Ferry was just an observation point set up here by the Nanqi Kingdom, although under normal circumstances, the demon beasts in the ancient wasteland would not run out to attack the ordinary people outside, but there were always exceptions, just in case, the Nanqi Kingdom set up an observation point here, and when it was found that there were demon beasts entering the Nanqi Kingdom, they would immediately report it, and try to minimize the losses. After a long period of development, the original observation point has now become the last foothold of the Southern Qi Country to the Qingxiao Country, so it has become a place similar to a village.
When Wang Yuze came here, he was very puzzled, this is obviously a village, but why is it called Anping Ferry? Generally speaking, isn't the ferry next to the river or the river to give such a name? But outside the Anping Ferry is a vast ancient wasteland!
Wang Yuze observed everything here and found that the most of the things here were similar to rows of factories, but the area was relatively smaller.
Each row of factories is about dozens of meters long, the larger area is nearly 100 meters, the middle of the plant is separated by layers of soil, forming a room similar to a single room, each room is only about 20 square meters, the door of each room is a broken wooden door, showing the long years it has experienced.
Wang Yuze looked curiously into the private room and found that there was not even a bed inside, and there was nothing but some hay on the ground.
At first, he didn't know what the rows of houses were for, until he met a group of people and realized that these rooms were their resting places.
Since it was close to evening at this time, Wang Yuze found that a bunch of people arrived and directly found a few vacant rooms and lived in, each with about three to five people. Each of them, dressed in clothes made of the skins of unknown beasts, threw their goods into the corner of the house when they entered the house, and then took out their food and began to eat it. 14
"Zhuzi, I heard that the Ancient Wasteland has not been peaceful lately, and there are even several demon beasts running out of the Ancient Wasteland, do you know what the hell is going on?"
The person known as the pillar is a strong man who looks to be about forty years old, with dark skin and a full beard, and the person who talks to him is a man who looks thin and has shrewd eyes.
"Hey! I heard our neighbor say that the ancient wasteland is now in chaos, and the relatively safe road in the past is now always full of monsters running back and forth, and he is really lucky to come back alive this time! He also said that the few teams that walked in front of him are all gone, hey! This kind of day, I really don't know when it will be a head! Thin monkey, if I come back safely this time, I don't plan to do it again. After the pillar finished speaking, he took a hard bite of the dry food in his hand.
The man known as the Skinny Monkey was taken aback and said in surprise: "Pillar, you are the oldest in our team, if you don't do it, then we will really have no hope!"
Zhuzi took a sip of the water in the leather bag, and said slowly: "What can you do if you are old? Don't you still die after meeting a demon beast, let alone a herd of beasts, even if there are ten bone tigers, we can't run away." It's all about luck. It's okay once or twice, but it's too many times, sooner or later, one day I will give my life here, what will happen to the children in my family when the time comes?"
The thin monkey wanted to persuade again, but he didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth, and his expression suddenly paused, and he was not even in the mood to eat another bite of the dry food in his hand.
At this time, another fat man beside them who had not spoken spoke spoke, "Don't be nervous, I heard that there was a group of fairies in the ancient wasteland, and we are currently investigating this matter!
Zhu Zi had almost eaten the dry food in his hand at this time, he stuffed the last mouthful of dry food into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Fat Hao, whether those immortals have solved this matter or not, I don't want to do it again." Especially every time I see my child who has just learned to walk, my belief is even stronger, I don't want him to grow up without his father's protection, this is the last trip, this time back, I plan to start a small business on my own. ”
Fat Hao and Thin Monkey glanced at each other, and at the same time saw helplessness in each other's eyes, but even so, in order to make a living, they could only grit their teeth and persist like an old cow.
Wang Yuze and the four of them listened to their conversation quietly, and only when they stopped did Wang Yuze let out a long sigh.
"Hey, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. A simple sentence is the end of a person's life, but people are like this, no matter when, no matter where they are, as long as they want to live better, they can only keep running on the way to make a living, for this reason, no matter how much hardship they have to go forward. After all, he didn't have the right to stop at all. If he stops, his relatives will starve, and if he stops, his relatives will force him forward. This is the miserable and helpless life of ordinary people!"
Wang Yuze was just sighing at these people in front of him at the moment, and at the same time, he also remembered the group of merchants he met in Qihuaxing, they didn't meet any demon beasts, but they met black wind thieves who were more terrible than demon beasts. But the same thing is that if you are unlucky, it will also be the result of losing your life, let alone making money and getting rich.
Two kinds of merchants, different lives, but the same fate. One is in Qihua Star and the other is in Bayanxing, the difference between the two places is more than 108,000 miles, but fate makes them face such similarities.
In the end, who is in charge of destiny?
Congcong and Yaya were rarely naughty, and the two showed heavy expressions for the first time.
"I never thought that someone would sacrifice their lives in order to live...... , this kind of price is really too big, and for their relatives, this kind of price is too heavy!" Yaya was very unbearable, and said leisurely on the side.
Cong Cong also let out a long sigh after hearing this, "I really can't imagine what kind of mood their relatives will feel when they hear the bad news if they encounter an accident, and his child who has just learned to walk, so young without a father, I ......." Speaking of this, Cong Cong's voice was already a little choked, perhaps it reminded him of his own experience.
The girl couldn't speak after hearing this, the eyes of the two girls were red, and at this moment, the kindness in their hearts was vividly reflected.
After a while, Cong Cong suddenly raised his head and said, "Big brother, I want to help them!" Yaya also nodded quickly after listening to it, indicating that she agreed with Cong Cong's idea.
"Oh, how are you going to help?"
The two girls have always been lawless personalities, even so, Wang Yuze never thought of blaming them for anything, because he knew that these two girls were still very kind in their hearts. It's just that he didn't expect that the two girls would plan to help them after listening to each other's conversation, which surprised Wang Yuze, but it was more of a relief, proving that they didn't lose themselves because of the pampering of a large group of people.
