Chapter 110: Mortals and Cultivators
Just as Ma Xie was looking at Yun in a daze, a few more people walked in.
At the head was a man about twenty years old, this man was handsome, his eyes radiated with confidence, and he was dressed in a gorgeous costume tattooed with fire cloud patterns, and walked in the crowd of people.
And surrounding this man turned out to be several disciples of the Tianwu Sect, one of them was Li Junqun, who had a hairband wrapped around his forehead, because Ma Xie had left a wound on his forehead before.
Li Junqun followed the man at the back, and when he passed by Ma Xie's cubicle, he listened to his footsteps.
"Senior Brother Ma, why are you here. Li Junqun asked.
Ma Xie saw that it was Li Junqun, ignored him, and still looked out the window.
Another slightly older disciple next to him asked, "Senior Brother Li, who is this person?"
Li Junqun said: "Senior Brother Hui, this person is a new disciple of Danyang Hall, surnamed Ma Mingxi. β
The disciple said, "Oh, I know, it's the disciple who brought back Heiyao. Ma Xie, why don't you get up and salute when you see your senior brother? Don't you know the etiquette at all?"
Ma Xie was amused by this person: "It seems that the Tianwu Sect doesn't have such a courtesy, not to mention that I haven't seen you." β
Li Junqun stood up: "Bold! Do you know who this senior brother is! This is Ni Shuifeng, the eldest disciple of the Dangyan Hall." β
Ma Xie was really tired of this Li Junqun, so he got up and wanted to leave, he didn't know what the big disciple of the Dangyan Hall had to do with him, Wan Feifei was also the big disciple of the Danyang Hall, and he didn't ask people to salute everywhere.
Seeing that Ma Xie was leaving, Li Junqun and Ni Shuifeng couldn't hold their faces a little, they wanted to show their "strength" in front of the young man behind them, but they didn't expect to run into such a nail as Ma Xie.
Ni Shuifeng has always been rampant and domineering in the sect, and when he saw that someone ignored his name today, he was ready to draw his sword and teach this little junior brother a lesson.
At this time, another disciple behind him held his hand and said, "Your Excellency is here, don't be impulsive. β
This disciple is none other than Kong Anhai, the son of Kong Shujian in Jiang Tiantian.
Ni Shuifeng withdrew his sword and said to the man behind him: "Senior Brother Wu, let me make you laugh, our Tianwu Sect is a poor and remote place, and the number of disciples received is uneven, it is inevitable that there will be such a person who does not know the height of the sky." β
The young man ignored him, but looked at Ma Xie curiously, and then asked, "You found the Black Yao Sword?"
Ma Xie said: "The return of the Obsidian Sword to the Heavenly Martial Sect is the will of Liu Jianxian, not something I can bring back. β
The man nodded and said, "That's right, you are only the third layer of the Qi Refining Realm, if it weren't for Liu Jianxian's remnant soul remaining, I'm afraid you would be crushed to death by powerful coercion as soon as you walked into his corpse." Not to mention getting the Black Yao Sword back. β
After that, the man turned around and left, ignoring Ma Xie, and Li Junqun and the others also hurriedly chased after him.
Ma Xie didn't know what kind of big man this man was, but judging by his dress, he was not from Tianwu Sect.
A few people went in and sat in the partition in the depths, and Ma Xie felt bored and prepared to leave. This time, though, instead of stepping into the cubicle, he walked down the stairs.
At this time, the guests of Dengyun Tower had gradually increased, and no one noticed Ma Xie's departure.
Soon Ma Xie came to the place where Qi Nanfeng and Aman lived, at this time Qi Nanfeng had not returned, Aman was obediently studying in the courtyard, and Zhang Daniu was gone.
"Aman!" shouted Ma Xie as he entered.
Seeing that it was Ma Xie, Aman pounced excitedly, he hadn't seen him for three months, and Aman had grown a lot taller.
"Brother Ma, why have you been out for so long, my sister is very worried about you!" Aman asked.
Ma Xie said: "The sect sent me out on a mission, how have you been doing in the past three months, have you studied obediently?"
Aman nodded and said: "I study very well, and my husband said that I am so smart, I will definitely be able to be admitted to the Jinshi and become a big official in the future." β
"Haha, that's good, you study hard, and when I'm done with things here, I'll take you to the royal capital and go to the best school there!" Ma Xie said happily to Aman.
As he was talking, Qi Nanfeng and Zhang Daniu walked in, it turned out that Zhang Daniu would follow Qi Nanfeng to Dengyunlou every day, do some chores, and learn cooking skills by the way.
"Brother Ma!" Zhang Daniu ran over affectionately and gave Ma Xie a bear hug.
However, Qi Nanfeng was particularly cold, and said to Ma Xie: "Ma Daxia, it's hard work." Your old man wants something to eat. β
Ma Xie said embarrassedly: "Let's have a bowl of noodles, I haven't eaten it for a long time." β
Qi Nanfeng glanced at him, and soon went to the kitchen to work again.
After a while, Ma Xie ate the noodles made by Qi Nanfeng, and during this time, he could only eat those wild fruits, at most one or two rabbits, and soon ate two bowls of them.
"It's so delicious...... Ma Xie patted his belly and said, "It's still Master Qi's craftsmanship, let's settle the bill!"
Qi Nanfeng was amused by him, and said, "Let's owe it first! β
Ma Xie smiled "hehe", thinking in his heart that he would never pay back this account.
"By the way, I went to Dengyun Tower today. Ma Xie said.
"What are you doing in Dengyun Tower?" Qi Nanfeng asked curiously.
Ma Xie told Qi Nanfeng about what he saw and heard in Dengyun Tower, he didn't understand why Dengyun Tower used mortals to do this kind of coolie, he wanted to know if Qi Nanfeng knew about it.
"How could I not know...... Qi Nanfeng said, "but what can I change?"
Ma Xie said in disbelief: "This is not like you, don't you hate martial artists and cultivators to oppress mortals the most?
Qi Nanfeng shook his head and said, "I've always hated this, even now. But Ma Xie, you have never lived in the mortal world anymore, and if you live as a mortal for a while, you will find that you can use your own strength to beg for a bite to eat, and how happy you are. You only feel unbearable when you see these people pulling you with coolies, then you should know that they are willing to carry you upstairs on their backs for the sake of life!"
Then, Qi Nanfeng told Ma Xie what she had seen and heard during this time.
Originally, Qi Nanfeng also hated this kind of thing, but after working in Dengyun Tower for a while, she found that in fact, these coolies liked to do such errands very much.
Tianwu City is very safe, and the people who live here will not be harassed by strange beasts and rogues in the first place, so they don't have to worry about what danger to their lives will encounter all day long.
But in the same way, it was also difficult to survive in Tianwu City. Many people come to Tianwu City, and they are already very satisfied to find such a job with brute strength.
Their labor in exchange for a mouthful of food to feed their families and protect the lives of their wives and children from danger is a paradise for the peasants who survive on the wasteland.
Ma Xie remembered the village that had been attacked by black fire, such a thing would never happen in Tianwu City.
"I hate this kind of pleasing practitioners, but I also know that there is no way to change all of this right now. This is not something that you or I ask Dengyunlou not to do, this is the law of this world! If mortals want to survive well, they have to give up their dignity to do what they are not willing to do.
Of course, this can't be said to be unfair, who made us mortals? If mortals want to live a peaceful and stable life, and have a dignified life, they have to go to a place like the Peach Blossom Spring, where there is no aura, no cultivators, no alien beasts, and as long as they put in the labor, they can be fed and clothed, otherwise you will never be able to change the fact that mortals are inferior to cultivators. β
Ma Xie was silent, for this kind of thing, Qi Nanfeng was much more profound than he thought, and sometimes Ma Xie felt that Qi Nanfeng had a special temperament.
This kind of temperament is not very powerful, but Qi Nanfeng has the power to convince the people around her, this may be an innate temperament, Ma Xie knows that he does not have the charm of Qi Nanfeng.
Just thinking about it, a person walked in outside the door, but he didn't expect it to be Lan Jing.
Lan Jing hadn't seen the house yet, so she called out enthusiastically when she entered the door: "Sister Qi, are you back?"
Qi Nanfeng got up to greet him, and Lan Jing saw Ma Xie at this time, stuck out his tongue and said, "Ma ...... Senior Brother Ma, you're back. β
It turned out that since Lan Jing saw Qi Nanfeng before, she had always felt that this woman was different from the people she had seen, although she was just a "mortal", but she had an inexplicable power.
Qi Nanfeng's attitude towards mortals and cultivators deeply infected Lan Jing, she really didn't understand why a mortal woman with no power to restrain a chicken could treat cultivators so arrogantly, this was something that she, a little princess who grew up in the Tianwu Sect, had never encountered.
Since Lan Jing was born, she has been the pearl of the Lan family of the Tianwu Sect, she has always felt that it is a sure thing for her to become a cultivator, and she has always felt that she is different from those "mortals" of the outer gate.
Although her good upbringing made her know that cultivators need to protect mortals, growing up in that environment, she has never really understood mortals from the bottom of her heart, and in her eyes, mortals are those slaves in her own family.
But since she met Qi Nanfeng, Lan Jing found that mortals also have their own thoughts, and they also have noble personalities.
Qi Nanfeng's backbone, Qi Nanfeng's bearing, and Qi Nanfeng's anger all made Lan Jing curious about this woman, at least Lan Jing felt that she was not as good as Qi Nanfeng, and Ni Yiling was not necessarily.
After she came back from the north, she knew that Ma Xie had come to Tianwu Sect, she was a little afraid of Ma Xie, and she was always a mortal, so she secretly inquired, and sure enough, she found where Qi Nanfeng was.
In this way, she turned out to be Qi Nanfeng's friend.
The longer she spent with Qi Nanfeng, the more Lan Jing felt how naΓ―ve and excessive her previous actions were. For the first time, she knew how hard it was for a mortal to live. She was amazed at the effort and wisdom that many mortals put in to survive, and she kept asking herself if she put herself in the same environment, she might not be able to do better than these mortals.
Lan Jing no longer feels that she is special, she finds that the standard for measuring a person is not just a simple realm, among mortals, there are many people with extraordinary intelligence, firm will, and noble character, and the actions of these people sometimes make Lan Jing admire, it turns out that in her eyes, those mortals who can only carry water and cook also have so many wonderful stories.
Especially under the leadership of Qi Nanfeng, Lan Jing also secretly watched the kind of "play" that only mortals like.
Although she had heard of this kind of thing in the Tianwu Sect before, in the eyes of cultivators, all kinds of singing and miscellaneous dramas were things that mortals used to numb themselves, and cultivators would only disturb their minds if they had too much contact. Of course, cultivators will also enjoy some songs and dances, but most of those songs and dances are stories of cultivators how to subdue demons and eliminate demons and protect the continent.
But there are many stories of mortals, such as "talented and beautiful women", "repairing bullies", and "love of human immortals...... All this made Lan Jing feel that mortals also have the wonder of mortals.
