Chapter 49: A clichéd dystopian world
Lu Qian met her little sister at the tattoo master gathering in the Black and White Hall, and found out that she was also a monk, so she got into her car and talked about monks.
The car drove on the second ring and slowly circled around the city. Outside the car window, the pillar of light was still bright and dazzling, and the sense of presence was bursting. Lu Qian pointed to the pillar of light and asked Zhuoer if he had been there, and received a negative answer.
"I just entered the city today, and I haven't had time to go yet, but I have one on my itinerary. ”
"Well, it looks like you're in luck. Lu Qian instructed: "If you are okay tomorrow, come with me, and I will take you there to register." Only registered monks can use spells, and they can only be used in S City. ”
Zhuoer didn't understand it at all, and Lu Qian didn't expect to explain the problem in a word, and patiently explained.
In the real world, immortal cultivators have no personal freedom. After all, the thunder tribulation is once every three years, and if you can't catch it, you will die. However, the aura in this world is cut off, and the monks cannot control the aura of heaven and earth to deal with the thunderstorm, and there is only one way to die in the face of the rolling thunder. Therefore, the monks must go to the 'small world' with a strong aura to survive the thunder tribulation.
"Small world?" Drow had heard the word before, "Can you elaborate on that?"
The so-called small world is a world that is conjured up by some magic weapons.
"These magic weapons are in the hands of nine 'Millennium Monks', and without their permission, we low-ranking monks cannot enter. In order not to be killed by the thunderstorm, we can only listen to the arrangements of those thousand-year-old monks, follow the rules of the game they have set, and work for them. ”
One of the most important of these rules is that 'spells are not allowed in the world, and anyone who violates them will be sentenced to death.' Except for two cities'.
"In China, only S City can use spells. Abroad, only London can use it. There are 1 million people in and out of the city of S, of whom 780,000 are monks. So you see, it's not unusual to meet fellow monks at a casual party. ”
"Why are these two cities the only ones in use?!" Drow couldn't understand the rule at all, "Aren't those thousand-year-old monks afraid of being overthrown if they restrict their personal freedom so much?"
"Of course they're not afraid. All the Jindan monks are their people. Without their help, no matter how talented you are, it will be a casting period at most. If they didn't allow one person to enter the small world, no matter how powerful a genius was, he would die under the triennial thunderstorm. Therefore, we are all slaves of the thousand-year-old monks, and Lei Zheng is the number one accomplice. Congratulations, you're now officially part of the slave army, are you happy?"
Drow was very unhappy. He thought the monk was the superhero of this world. Even if you can't call the wind and rain, you can be powerful in front of ordinary people. I didn't expect the reality to be so complicated.
"So...... I'm a slave, what do I do on weekdays?"
Lu Qian pointed to the pillar of light outside the car window with her chin, "There is a registration office, and no matter how good the cultivation rookie is, he can also receive a task there." Even the mortal relatives of the monks have jobs to receive, so don't worry. ”
"So...... What about the pay?"
Lu Qian took out a magnetic card from her wallet and flashed it in front of Zhuoer.
"Senior Brother Zhuoer, I can probably understand what your delusional Xianxia world is like. I can tell you responsibly that it's all wrong. This magnetic card is my ID card, and all the remuneration I earn for my work is stored in it. Do you know the food stamps? I should still have a spirit stone exchange ticket, which can be exchanged for a spirit stone. A small world stay ticket, which can stay for five days to deal with thunderstorms. A health care voucher that can be used to treat an injury or illness. That's all, that's all. ”
Or are you not paying attention to your work and your wages have been deducted?"
"I wasn't very attentive, but I wasn't paid by anyone. My job is to accompany the students and accompany the eldest young master to practice together. Don't look at me with that kind of look, it's a serious job, not a foot warmer. And the eldest young master has a very good personality and has given me a lot of help in my cultivation. If you're interested, I'll take you to meet him tomorrow. ”
Lu Qian's car circled around the city for more than an hour, and then drove back to the city, stopping in front of a fast-food restaurant. The two of them went in and ordered some fries, pasta and other things, and continued to talk while eating.
After hearing the 'deposit' in the Luqian magnetic card, Zhuoer was somewhat difficult to accept.
Medical care and stay in the small world can only be regarded as basic life support, not property. In other words, the cultivation resources she had at hand were only one spirit stone. I have nothing to do with the spirit stones, and they all contain two or three of them. It turned out that he was a super rich man.
Eating French fries, Zhuo Er confirmed to Lu Qian again, "Really, don't you really have a way to resist those thousand-year-old monks? There must be some internal strife among those thousand-year-old monks, right? Is there any possibility of launching a revolution through their internal strife?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Qian directly burst into laughter, and pasta came out of her nostrils.
"Senior brother, don't say stupid things. Those millennium monks are not mortal bandits. There will be an uneven distribution of spoils among bandits, and there will be big fights. There are nine millennium monks, and they have only one purpose......"
"What's the point? Please, I'm already disappointed enough in the world now. ”
Lu Qian looked around vigilantly and whispered, "Their thousand-year-old monks are committed to cultivating more Jindan monks, and they want to gather everyone's wisdom and study a way to break through the Jindan period. Let me tell you this, in fact, all the monks agree that all nine old things have gone mad. They are stuck in the Jindan period for a full thousand years, which is enough to tell the story. The Jindan period is the end of the monk, and there is no follow-up. Could it be true that it is like what is written in the web novel, which can be upgraded endlessly, and can also fly to the upper realm or something. How could it be, that's stupid. ”
Hearing this, Drow immediately covered his mouth, his eyes rounded, and he couldn't believe what his ears were hearing.
'Jindan period? The Jindan period is followed by the Dan infant period, and then the Dan transformation period, the Danshen period. Why, don't those oligarchic dictatorial millennial monks even know this?!'
You must know that this knowledge is completely recorded in "Ancient Refining Nerves", and it is imprinted in Zhuoer's mind without omission. He couldn't believe it, was he the only person in this world who knew how to break through?
His knowledge comes from the world in the box, the box is left behind by his father, and the key is sent by the strange alien. Therefore, he always thought that no matter how powerful his chest was, it was only a part of this world, and there must be many same, similar treasures.
If what Lu Qian said was true, then the structure of this world was completely different from what he had thought before.
The nine oligarchs who control the world don't even know how to break through the Jindan period, and the status of the box is naturally above these nine oligarchs. So...... Where is his father so sacred?
