Chapter 173: The chaos of the world
When Wang Chong and Zi Ru heard about Mingguo, they stopped subconsciously.
Because both of them remember that in Ziru's study, there was a book about famous countries, where everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, and those with low spiritual roots had strong talents, while those with weak talents were weak.
But now when I hear that all the people in Mingguo are going to die, is that strange?
"Sit for a while." Ziru walked in.
The three of them sat down, Wang Chong handed the storyteller a few copper coins and nodded, "It sounds pretty, let's keep talking."
According to Zi Ru before, the currency and language of this place were the same, so they brought enough silver.
"Thank you, my son."
When I got the reward, it seemed that everyone liked it, so the storyteller smiled gratefully.
The storyteller continued: "Just just said that the famous country has all died anyway, but it is precisely because of this that we sympathize with the people of Huichao even more."
The storyteller talked for a while and then prepared to finish work. At this time, Wang Chong walked over.
"I'm very good at speaking. I wonder if I can tell me about the famous country. Why are all dead?"
"Don't this young master know?" The storyteller was surprised.
"I came from outside, I really don't know." Wang Chong said.
"Well, that's OK. That country is just a small country with a population of less than 300,000. In the past, there were many monks and everyone lived and worked in peace. But after that, the emperor now practiced evil magic and wanted to embark on the path of becoming an immortal. He didn't know where he got the method of practicing evil magic. He actually used the absorption of human spiritual roots as his cultivation technique. Over the years, the country's country has been severely blocked, and outsiders cannot enter, and people inside are not allowed to come out."
"A year ago, one old and one young escaped from Mingguo, and we only received news that the people in Mingguo died almost the same. Now, only the monarch of Mingguo and his minions are left."
"Is there no one to care about the miserable creatures in Mingguo?" Wang Chong asked, "Is there not far from here?"
"It's just too far away and I can't control it. And although our fairy mountain is powerful, it's not stable internally. Everyone wants to become immortals for their own practice. How can they have time to care about other countries' affairs?"
Wang nodded. The chaos in this world was beyond his imagination.
All the roots are probably from becoming immortals.
Those who practice Taoism want to become immortals, but it is so difficult to become immortals.
The key is that people in the world do not know how to become immortals, so some people choose evil techniques, while others choose to devour other people's spiritual roots to strengthen themselves.
Everyone has their own path, which has caused the whole world to suffer.
Even like the people from Huichao, in order to prevent anyone from surpassing themselves, the national teacher even achieved it by killing people with low spiritual roots.
This storyteller knows a lot and even talks about the fairy mountain.
Xianshan is located in the center of this continent. The so-called Xianshan is not a mountain, but a huge mountain range that is endless.
Around this, are ordinary cities, towns, and even... villages.
All the towns and villages surrounding Xianshan are led by people assigned by Xianshan.
In a sense, Huichao is a monarchy, and Xianshan is actually directly the leader of the Xianfu.
This town is still quite far from Xianshan, so Wang Chong and Zi Ru did not stop and continued to rush.
Then he bought three horses and whipped them up.
I have to say that in Xianshan, it is much safer than Huichao.
There are no powerful evil things here at all, even in the middle of the night, there are still many people walking on the official road.
Three days later, a huge mountain range was finally discovered.
It's too big, even if the distance is still far, it's still easy to be seen.
Along the way, many people even knelt down to the fairy mountain, and Wang Chong was very surprised to see it.
The city they are going to go to at this moment is called Xiancheng. This city is the largest city in Xianshan. Its scale is inestimable and its population is millions.
Before we reached the city gate, there were carriages and countless pedestrians, which made Wang Chong and Zi Ru know what it means to have a lot of people.
It's just here that Aunt Zhu can't leave.
The reason is very simple. There are many masters close to Xianshan. With the strength of these people, it is easy to see that Aunt Zhu is a monster.
"Aunt Zhu, I'll give you some silver. You can live outside the fairy city in the future." Wang Chong gave her some silver: "Don't worry, I'll find you after I've done the work."
Aunt Zhu nodded quickly: "Master, if you have anything to do, you can call my soul body on you, I will know."
Wang Hsiao nodded. Although Aunt Zhu has done her best and acted very obediently these days, he will not give her soul body easily.
"Driving... to handle cases by caring for them, don't block the way for those in front of you."
At this time, a sound of a constable suddenly came from a distance, and a large group of people were following the constable.
The people on the road hurriedly made way. At this time, a man jumped down on a carriage and shouted to the leading detective: "I am a disciple of Xianshan, Mao He, when is the speed so fast?"
"It turns out to be a disciple of Xianshan." In this world, Xianshan is of extraordinary significance, so the detective quickly bowed and shouted: "Mr. Mao, close to the Black Bear Village on the border of Mingguo, people in a village suddenly disappeared."
"What, why did you suddenly disappear?" Mao He asked with a frown.
"I don't know, but it must be related to the practice of evil magic in famous countries. I'm about to report the matter."
"Well, go, go early and come back soon..."
The detective nodded respectfully and left quickly.
As soon as they left, Aunt Zhu also left here.
Wang Chong and Zi Ru walked into the Immortal City.
"The people in the village of Heixiong Village died suddenly, and this kind of thing would happen in Xianshan." Zi Ru said.
"If the Ming Kingdom says that everyone is almost dead, then for the sake of cultivation, the people there will be targeting other people and dealing with the people on the Xianshan side."
"The poor people are going to suffer again."
After the two entered the city, it was already very late.
Along the way, the two of them had a lot of money, so when they checked in that night, Ziru suggested: "Xiaodong, you and me don't have much silver. If you don't dislike me, let's stay in one."
These days, they all sleep in separate rooms.
It’s not that Wang Chong claims to be aloof, but that he thinks that both of them are fake marriages, so he naturally won’t deliberately take advantage of the other girl.
But this time, they did have less silver.
Because I don’t know how to go up to the Xianshan Mountain for the time being, it will be very troublesome if the silver on my body is gone.
So Wang agreed.
At night, the originally lively fairy city was also silent.
"Xiaodong, have you fall asleep?" Zi Ru said.
"not yet."
"I will go to the foot of the mountain tomorrow morning to check it out. Don't worry, I will mention you to my seniors. When I see my master, I will try to let you enter the fairy mountain and learn from your master."
"Um."
"Hey, it's just that after entering the Fairy Mountain, we... may rarely meet in the future. I heard from my master that there are many rules in the Fairy Mountain. Everyone studies hard and practices hard. If they don't advance, they will retreat. Every year, if someone fails to meet the requirements of martial arts, they will be expelled from the Fairy Mountain..."
As he said that, Wang Chong suddenly felt that Zi Ru's head was pressed against his back.
"Although we rarely meet by then,... but I will not forget you. You are the first man to look at me directly. I know I am ugly. Thank you..."
"Zi Ru, don't say that." Wang Chong turned around, and the two looked at each other.
