Chapter 669: Antecedents and Consequences
Liu Ruyan said: "Fuzhou City is the only city where the human race gathers within a radius of a million miles, and it is also the fundamental base and center of the human race here. The realm we are in is a remote place in Kuimen Prefecture, the southeast region of the spirit world, the number of human races is thin, and the strength is not strong, compared to the spirit beasts, they are completely at a disadvantage, they only have the ability to parry, and they have no power to fight back.
Here, the human race can only be like a stone cottage, relying on a favorable terrain to build a cottage fortress, gathering a large number of immortal cultivators and martial artists to resist the attack of spirit beasts. There are not countless such fortresses here, but there are tens of thousands. The strength of these fortresses is not much different, and the highest cultivation is the Tianyuan Realm. Fuzhou City is a place where the high-level monks of the human race gather here, the scale is grand, and it is needless to say that it is strong and abnormal, since the completion of Fuzhou City, several large-scale beast tides have not been able to shake a single bit, and then the beast tide has never patronized again, but it has only taken turns to besiege a small fortress like my stone cottage. The immortal cultivators in Fuzhou City, the ones with low cultivation are all mortal immortals, among them, there are also masters of the Spirit Immortal Realm and the Immortal Realm, the deputy city lord Sun Ming, who is the top character in the fourth phase of the Immortal Realm, and the cultivation is also one of the best in Fuzhou City, only under the city lord Guo Jingheng and another deputy city lord Gongsun Yu and several elders. ”
When Su Aotian heard this, he still didn't know why, so he asked, "However, the third elder recommended you to this deputy city lord Sun Ming, what does it have to do with this beast tide?"
Liu Ruyan showed a look of resentment on her face and said, "Since I have the ambition to pursue the way of heaven, I naturally will not waver for the sake of these vain fame and profits. Although Changsun Ming is a great master, but just for this reason I want to be his concubine? But I didn't expect that although this eldest grandson Ming's cultivation was superb, his character did not dare to compliment, and when he heard that I rejected him, he was so poisonous that he ran to a lord of the Spirit Clan to exaggerate my beauty. When the lord heard this, he moved his heart and asked the eldest grandson to offer me. Thinking that I am a human race, how can I commit myself to the abuse of the animals? I naturally refused, and the lord instigated a tide of beasts to attack the stone cottage. ”
Su Aotian was dumbfounded, and asked in disbelief: "Aren't the human race and the spirit beast mortal enemies, fighting each other for survival, why does this eldest grandson Ming dare to openly collude with the spirit race and harm the human race immortal cultivators, how is this kind of behavior different from a traitor? Isn't he afraid of the punishment of the human race?"
Liu Ruyan said: "Naturally, he won't do these things publicly, and revealing my beauty to the Spirit Clan is also done in private." In fact, although spirit beasts and human races are mortal enemies, they are mainly caused by competing for living space, because in the spirit world, whether it is spirit beasts or human races, there are too many of them, no matter which clan is allowed to reproduce wantonly, sooner or later the entire spirit world will not be able to accommodate such a huge number. This is also the biggest excuse for those celestial clans, demon races, etc. to slander and frame my human race, slandering the spirit world is because the human race is too widespread, and the overall quality is too low, and the spirit beast is the same as the general cause of such an unbearable situation, if the spirit beast and the human race are extinct, the spirit world will become a fairyland of singing and dancing, no worse than the fairy world, and there is no need to dig out the heart to soar.
As the top layer of the spirit beast, although the spirit race is said to be incompatible with the human race, there are actually constant contacts between the top of the two. Not only the Spirit Race, but also the Heavenly Race, the Demon Race, and so on, for those top immortal cultivators of the Human Race, don't you also have to put on a smiling face and deal with it carefully? In the eyes of the higher-ups, only strength is the foundation that determines everything, no matter what race you are, as long as you can reach the corresponding realm, you can get the respect and status you deserve. The high-level of the Spirit Race can marry the Terran Immortal Cultivator, the power of the Terran Race, and it is not that there are a few concubines of the Spirit Race. The Heavenly Clan, the Demon Race, it is better to be, each race has a continuous outpouring of talents, flying to the upper realm, and these sons of Tianjiao, wherever they go, are the focus of everyone's admiration, no one will really care, what race he is from. ”
Liu Ruyan's words made Su Aotian feel like he had fallen into a fog, and he was a little confused. However, when he looked back, he felt that such a thing was not impossible. As Liu Ruyan said, in the spirit world, whether it is the immortal cultivators, the spirit clan, or the heavenly clan, the principles pursued are no different from those of the Chengtian Continent, that is, strength is respected. If there is an existence whose strength is enough to deter the entire spirit world, and wherever he goes, he is rampant, who dares to care what kind of race he is? If the spirit race dares to raise the strength of the whole race because he is a mortal enemy race, is it bound to eradicate him? On the other hand, if the human race is faced with such a spirit race, who will fight for their lives, even if he falls, they will drag him to be buried with him?
I think that in the eyes of their class, whether it is the human race or the spirit beast, they are all insignificant existences in the spirit world, and they are fighting desperately to fight for more living space for themselves, and their struggle will not affect them at all. These are all things that have nothing to do with themselves, it doesn't matter who dies or lives, who wins or loses, anyway, the spirit beasts and the human race are so huge, no one can exterminate anyone.
If you think about it carefully, are there any differences between these big people in the spiritual world, the top existences, and their minds compared to the amazing masters? It seems that no matter what kind of environment they are in, the thoughts of the people in the upper echelons are almost the same, that is, heaven and earth, I am the only one, I just need to be at ease, where to care about the life and death of others.
But Su Aotian was still a little confused, so he asked: "Listening to what the Smoke Fairy said, these things should be kept secret, how can they spread to the ears of the fairy?"
Liu Ruyan said: "I didn't know anything about many things here, but later the Great Elder slowly told me, and I gradually learned some of the true faces of the spirit world. ”
Su Aotian still couldn't understand, so he asked again, "Then where did the Great Elder learn about these things?"
Liu Ruyan said: "The Great Elder and the Third Elder are actually disciples of the Xiuxian family, but they are either because their bloodlines are too far away, or because their qualifications are too poor, in short, because of some reasons, they can't gain a foothold in the family, and they are forced to wander around, so they can only settle in places like Fuzhou City or Shishanzhai. The Yan family and the Zhong family are both powerful clans in the spirit world, and one of the distant clan uncles of the three elders is in Fuzhou City, and he is the master of the Spirit Fairy Realm, and the henchman of the deputy city lord Changsun Ming, so he can contact Changsun Ming and recommend me to him. In fact, it's not just the two of them, in a fortress like Shishanzhai, most of the people in high positions are the children of such a big family, like Elder Qingxu, who are from unknown backgrounds, only a very few. ”
Speaking of which, Su Aotian generally understood the specific distribution of immortal cultivators in the Kuimen Prefecture area, as well as some situations in the spirit world. And learned about the disputes and entanglements between the human race and the spirit beasts, and the hidden truth behind it was not what appeared on the surface. He also knew what Liu Ruyan was worried about, and why the beast tide was caused by her.
Thinking of this, he still couldn't understand something, so he asked: "I don't know where the so-called lord of the spirit race is, and where is the sacred, listening to the words of the smoke fairy, the human race and the spirit race are not without a precedent for marriage?"
Liu Ruyan said: "The Spirit Race, like our Human Race, also has a difference between superior and inferior, strong and weak. The high-level spirit race, from the appearance alone, is the same as our human race, and there is no difference, but the low-level spirit race, although it has evolved complete spiritual intelligence, but it cannot completely fade the characteristics of beasts, saying that people are not humans, saying that beasts are not beasts, can only be said to be half-human and half-beast. There are several powerful lords in this place, and the eldest grandson Ming is in contact with the bear clan in the spirit clan, the whole body is furry, and the facial features are also three points like a person, and seven points like a bear. In the eyes of us and the Terrans, it can only be regarded as a beast, how can I commit myself to it?"
Su Aotian completely understood at this time, and couldn't help but be full of resentment towards Changsun Ming. Judging from his treatment of Liu Ruyan, he knows that this person has a very poor character. Liu Ruyan just didn't want to be his concubine, so he could devise a frame to let her serve a livestock in retaliation. Not only will it be revenged, but it is also vicious!
And in order to make himself as fast as possible, he attracted the siege of the beast tide, and he was about to fall into the stone cottage in a catastrophe, and many innocent people were going to die with him, which is really dampening!
Thinking of this, Su Aotian was full of anger, and he said: "Just now, I heard what the Smoke Fairy said, and I don't understand why the fairy wants to say whether it is worth sacrificing himself in exchange for the peace and tranquility of everyone, it turns out that this is the case. Fairy, you don't have to blame yourself, the cause of the beast tide actually has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to sacrifice yourself for the preservation of the stone cottage, the whole thing has nothing to do with you, you don't need to be responsible at all. ”
Liu Ruyan said: "But there are many people in the cottage, and they all think that it is because I refuse to agree to be the lord's concubine that it is angry and causes this beast tide. Therefore, the relationship between solving this beast tide is also on me. ”
Su Aotian said: "I really don't understand, how can these vain human race people come up with such a ridiculous reason and say such shameless words!"
Liu Ruyan said: "You really think so, the cause of the beast tide has nothing to do with me?"
Su Aotian said: "Isn't that obvious? Could it be that these spirit beasts all obeyed your command and got your orders before they came to besiege Shishanzhai?"
Liu Ruyan thought for a while, and then smiled: "Hearing you say this, I seem to feel a little more comfortable." It's also strange to say, why can't the words of those immortal cultivators relieve my worries, but you, a martial artist, can let me go?"
