Bodhi

The Hundred-mile Long Street is full of tourists.

Kongsang is the largest city in the Dongshan mountain system. It covers an area of ​​thousands of miles, which is even comparable to the king capital of the Xizou Immortal Kingdom. The traffic from east to west, south, north, and south all converges here. There are hundreds of other cities around the city. The small towns are scattered and connected, scattered like a vast chessboard on the ground.

But even in such a large city, its ruling power is still in the hands of gods and men, and there are no monsters walking around in the city, except for the many slaves who can't help themselves.

The wooden wheels of the cart are turning around, and there are tall straw and pine branches piled on top of it. The god who drives the cart has a fierce face, knocking the cowhide whip in his palm impatiently, and yelling at the red-tailed yellow ox pulling the cart from time to time. , and then whipped hard, until the yellow cowhide was ripped apart, Xuexue was panting, the fur on the back was convulsing and convulsing, those clear and kind eyes were full of human tears, they were all enlightened Transformed by the Yaozu!

Two half-grown girls in snow-white dresses nestled in the haystack full of cars, but they only endured the resentment in their hearts and suppressed the urge to make a move.

After a while, they only felt the cart under them jolt slightly, and the shouting and scolding of the gods and men in front of the cart stopped temporarily, and the indistinct sounds of people, footsteps, and hawking outside could be heard, mixed with familiar scolding The sound of screams, cries for mercy, the smell of food, the smell of leather and sharp weapons mixed with the blood in the soil...

Kongsang, the giant city ruled by the gods, finally showed its mysterious panorama to the two young princesses who had just arrived.

Su Xianxian whispered, "We're here."

Su Xixi's eyes flashed brightly, and she echoed softly: "Yes, we have arrived."

To trace the source, this matter has to start a few weeks ago.

That day, Su Xianxian and Su Xixi ate the Yaoshi given by the Goddess of Yaoshan, and were blown a hundred miles away by a gust of fragrant wind, and landed beside a remote village, waiting for them to wake up from the unbearable heat , only to realize that they have hands and feet, their fur has faded away, and their eyes are agile and radiant... The Goddess of Yaoshan transformed them into human bodies with two miraculous fairy fruits that were born once every thousand years, and increased their cultivation for a hundred years. Even the third tail has a somewhat rudimentary shape.

Su Xianxian screamed in surprise: "Xixi! We have cultivated human form!"

Su Xixi was still in a daze when she was hit by this big pie that fell from the sky. Looking at her white palm like jade, she couldn't even speak fluently: "What, what? Is this true?"

"Of course it's true!" Su Xianxian hugged her second freshly baked big tail, smiling so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, "Sister Goddess is really a good person! Our way back will be easier!"

The two of them were laughing happily when they heard a commotion not far away. It seemed that several people were walking towards this side. One of them pushed the blades of grass with a stick in his hand while walking, "Where did you come from?" voice, did you hear it?"

Su Xixi hurriedly lifted up Luopa, making her and Su Xianxian disappear.

"Such a high-pitched voice must be a bird, don't look at it!"

"Maybe it's those animals in the mountains again..."

The half-human-high reed grass was pushed away, and three or five tall and strong gods poked their heads out, their faces full of flesh and anger, "Isn't there nothing? I said it was a bird!"

Su Xixi pressed Su Xianxian's hand, and the half-grown girl's body was light and soft, like a gust of wind, swept away from the sides of several gods in the blink of an eye.

"Where is this place..." Su Xianxian and Su Xixi sat on the tree and whispered, "Why are there so few people..."

Su Xixi stared intently at the village below, feeling extremely novel, "The house they live in...is really strange, why is it not gold, nor jade, not even any decent sandalwood?"

Su Xianxian gritted her teeth at her: "Where do you think this is, Qingqiu's palace? People's livelihood is so difficult, they can afford this kind of thatched cottage!"

Su Xixi stuck out her tongue: "But it seems that the aborigines here are all monsters... What are those gods doing?"

This village is nameless, just like countless places in the world where wanderers gather from all over the world. The houses are dilapidated, the paths are muddy, and the villagers can barely cover their bodies. Their faces are sallow by the wind and frost except for deep wrinkles and ravines. , and there is also a perseverance that comes from nowhere and is rooted in the earth.

On the contrary, those gods and men are all dressed decently and cleanly, and their hands also have calluses that need hard work to wear out, and the clothes on their bodies cannot be seen by Su Xianxian and Su Xixi, but the domineering and rudeness seems to be It was naturally engraved in their bones, they shouted loudly, impatiently instructing the Yaozu to put bags of rice, grain and dried meat on the ox cart.A half-grown child who seemed to be still growing was carrying a heavy and rough rice bag, while looking at the fragrant dried meat, he swallowed his saliva, but accidentally tripped over a stone under his feet, and the rice bag in his hand flew into the air. He fell out, creating a gap on the ground, and the white polished rice spilled all over the ground like bright silver. The god man was furious, and he didn't care that it was just a child who hadn't grown up yet. He rushed up and waved the cowhide whip in his hand. Smash him hard!

The whip was pierced crisply and loudly in the air, Su Xixi and Su Xixi both trembled, watching the bloodstains splashing from under the coarse linen clothes, and the man of God whipped the boy on the ground, but from the beginning to the end he couldn't Gritting his teeth, he didn't make a sound except for messy panting and uncontrollable moaning.

The God-man cursed, and there was also some local dialect they didn't understand. A yellow and thin woman rushed out from the side, hugged the boy's body and begged, blocked several whips for him, and took out a new sheet of paper. Kneeling on the ground, he picked up the snow-white polished rice one by one, and the god man spat coldly, and went back to stand under the shade of the tree to enjoy the cool.

Su Xianxian couldn't believe it: "They...how did they treat those unarmed villagers like this!"

"Strange, those white rice..." Su Xixi was thoughtful, "They look like they are paying tribute to those gods?"

"Ask someone," Su Xianxian said, "It's really not possible. It's the same to drag those gods out."

The two raised a cloud of light, and landed lightly from the tree on the ground. Su Xixi's eyes were sharp, and she suddenly saw a yellow ox with a tumor on the jaw and a red horsetail lying beside the car not far away. If Su Xuechan was here, she would definitely recognize it. It turns out that this is the leader of the Hu tribe who once had a relationship with him in the past.

"That's a demon clan, right?" Su Xixi said, "It seems to be driven by a god... If you ask it, you should be able to ask a lot of things."

The two approached Linghu and squatted down cautiously. Su Xianxian called out in a low voice, "Hey! Can you hear me?"

At this time, their sides were still covered with Jiuyou Qiankun handkerchief, the scalper's back trembled suddenly, it raised its head suspiciously, and looked around.

"Who is talking?" It spoke out, eyes alert.

Su Xixi said softly: "We are from Qingqiu... the foxes from Qingqiu, by chance, ended up here. May I ask where this is, and what are these gods and men doing? Can you tell us?"

The leader of the Hu tribe was vigilant and said: "Qingqiu? Qingqiu is thousands of miles away from here, how could the foxes in Qingqiu be living in the territory of gods and men? Don't be kidding!"

"It's true!" Su Xianxian showed her tail from under Luopa, and flicked it at the leader of the Hu tribe, "As for why we came here... I can't tell for a while, we just want to go back Home……"

Seeing that the leader of the Hu tribe remained silent, she begged again: "Tell us, we won't lie to you..."

The leader of the Hu tribe sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "It's okay to tell you... It's too dangerous for you to come here."

"The Eastern Mountain System is now under the control of the gods and men, and the monsters here are slaves who are slaughtered. You have also seen the scene just now." The scalper raised his head, "the gods handed over the rice seeds and livestock to the villagers here , let them grow and feed, and produce grains and dried meat at any time for free enjoyment by the convoy of gods and men traveling to and from Kongsang. There is also a heavy tax every year, but they do not get the slightest benefit, but are often humiliated and beaten by these gods and men scold……"

Su Xixi was surprised and said: "Then why don't you resist? The monster race was born in the world, from ignorant birds and beasts to cultivating human form to enjoy a thousand years of life, we, like those cultivators, have always been a race against the sky. Don’t you yearn for freedom? Are you willing to endure such a life of being tied up in a rope?”

The scalper's eyes were in a trance for a moment.

"Honorable concubine..." There was a sad smile and faint sarcasm in its words, "Why don't you eat minced meat? Since thousands of years ago, we have been slaves enslaved by gods and men. What is it? Freedom... the bottom ants are already trying their best just to live in this world, so why resist? We just want to live."

Su Xianxian: "Then you...how did you know our identities?"

The Hu people were taken aback, it only felt that the two little girls in front of them were holding precious magic tools, their status in the clan must be quite high, and calling "Wang Ji" was just to express a mockery, but it heard such a sentence of status Expose yourself!It hurriedly looked left and right to see if Kamito had noticed this side, then lowered its voice and said, "You...you are really the princess of Qingqiu?!"

Seeing that the air in front of him fluctuated slightly, but no one answered, the leader of the Hu tribe suddenly said: "Could it be you really! You...how dare you come to the villages around Kongsang! Now the land ruled by the gods is posted everywhere. It is full of portraits of the two of you, and I wonder why Kongsang wants to arrest the Qingqiu people who are thousands of miles away... so it is like this!"

Su Xixi was startled, "What, you mean the gods are looking for us? Then do you know if there are any other members of my clan in Kongsang City?"

The leader of the Hu tribe shook his head: "I'm just a lowly chariot servant. If I didn't accidentally look up one day and saw the hanging portraits of you two in the city, I wouldn't have heard the news."

Su Xianxian said solemnly: "What should I do..."

"Don't get lost," Su Xixi said, "Now that we have taken human form, can they still see our original form at a glance? The most urgent thing is whether the clansmen are captured, and then how to return to Qingqiu through Kongsang."

The leader of the Hu tribe said again: "Although the teleportation array in Kongsang City is unimpeded, even if you want to go back to Qingqiu, it is not difficult, but the two princesses think that Kongsang is too simple..."

As it said that, it used its hooves to gently rub a shallow mark on the soil, and then drew several surrounding mountains.

Kongsang was originally just an unowned mountain peak, but it faces Shishui in the north, Juwu in the east, Shaling in the south, and Minze in the west. Birds and beasts razed it to the ground and then built a high city. As an important transportation hub in the Eastern Mountain System, sporadic small cities were built around it, accumulating resources and developing along the way, until today's huge scale has become the largest trade exchange in the territory ruled by the Kingdom of Gods. Core.

"Kongsang is divided into three layers. We are now in the outermost small village, and there are at least thousands of such villages, all of which provide supplies along the way for the gods and people; the middle layer is the small towns scattered outside. There are also gods and men, there are at least hundreds of such cities; and the most central one is the main city of Kongsang.”

It sighed: "Only the demon clan who are slaves can enter the main city of Kongsang, if there is no this—"

It raised its neck and motioned them to look at the blockade of red copper seal script, "—if you didn't have this, you would immediately be ejected from the barrier of the main city of Kongsang, and you would be surrounded by thousands of guards in an instant. With extraordinary cultivation, the two of you are no match for them."

Su Xixi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Does this copper seal have other restrictions?"

"Yes, but yes..." the leader of the Hu tribe hesitated, "Once you put on this shackle, you can no longer use the monster power until you die... so few people would pretend to be monsters and sneak into Kongsang..."

Su Xixi stretched out a soft and white hand from under the handkerchief, and carefully touched the collar of the Hu tribe's chin, showing a meaningful smile.

"Don't worry," she said, "Nine-tailed Fox is good at escaping, and is also good at engraving formations for escaping... It's just a copper seal, it won't stop us."

"Do you want to rest on the second floor of Kongsang?" Su Xixi asked, "If you want to stay there, there must be other gods and men who came out of the main city of Kongsang. It is impossible for them not to bring their servants with them."

The eyes of the leading Hu people were full of surprise, and it nodded, "Of course I want it."

Su Xianxian and Su Xixi smiled at each other.

They sneaked into the convoy transported by God-man, hid in thatched pine branches, and endured dozens of days of bumping and shaking. When God-man stopped to rest, they jumped out nimbly and grabbed a group of people from the post station. Dozens of gods and men came out from the main city of Kongsang.

Yao Ji bestowed them with cultivation bases to make them more comfortable with the use of magic weapons. Su Xianxian stretched her limbs, and the moment Shenren was paralyzed, his neck was twisted by the yellow scarf warrior, and his body was transported thousands of miles away.

The monster clan under them didn't know what happened, they just knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but Su Xixi grabbed them and reached out to fumble for the copper seal under their chin.

"How?" Su Xianxian asked.

Su Xixi frowned in embarrassment.

It seems that the copper seals can be made at will according to the wishes of the slave masters, and their masters seem to be particularly fond of torturing the monster slaves. Not only are they scarred, but even the inside of the copper seals they wear are cast Two pairs of thick nails were firmly embedded in the slave's flesh and blood, and yellow pus oozes out when it is moved a little.

"Try it..." she said softly, "There is no guarantee that it can be removed intact."

With a wave of her hand, she lifted the Nine Nether Universe Handkerchief from under the moonlight, and the slaves kneeling on the ground immediately opened their eyes wide.

The girls in front of them were dressed in snow-white dresses, their skin was almost translucent under the moonlight, emitting a faint jade-like chill, their eyes were upturned, beautiful eyes were clear, their faces were almost identical, standing under the moonlight, they looked like two Jade carvings do not eat fireworks in the world, only the brilliance in the pupils flows vividly.

Su Xixi turned her wrist and took out a delicate carving knife from the mustard bag.

"The formation of confinement..." Su Xixi kept moving, "Aniang said that this formation must either be engraved back, or another one should be made to counteract it... Now time is running out, so I have to go back."

Su Xianxian watched her sister's movements intently.

Among the foxes in Qingqiu, Su Xixi is the only one, who seems to have been born by the formation, the acupoint overflowing with aura in the air, the vital point hidden in the mist - Su Lanji never let her get close to practice since she was a child The foxes in the movie, because she can see the hub of the demon power at a glance, and then she will touch it out of curiosity to make trouble...

The crux of their internal energy can only be sensed when their cultivation base is several times higher than others, but Su Xixi is different from everyone else. She can see the small vortex where the energy of heaven and earth gathers with only her naked eyes. , where the door of the cultivator lies.

However, Su Lanji didn't seem to be surprised by such a rare genius, and she never gave Su Xixi much advice, so now Su Xixi doesn't understand what her ability can bring her.

Su Xixi took a long breath, stuck a knife on the copper seal, and placed it in the groove at the beginning of the restriction with incomparable precision!Although the copper seal is thick, it is only about an inch wide. Su Xixi is as natural and easy as scraping the tender tofu with a sharp knife. Paoding Jie Niu-like fluency!

With the last swipe of the knife, the copper seals split apart and fell to the ground with a crash. Su Xixi frowned, and slowly pulled out the copper nails buried deep in the bony bones for the slave, and whispered: "You are free, let's go !"

"It's broken like this, can it still be used?" Su Xianxian picked up a fragment, "If it can't be put together, it will be troublesome."

Su Xixi skillfully wiped away the iron filings and dust on the blade with her palm, and stretched out her hand to grab the second slave, "What are you afraid of, with me here, I promise to restore a brand new one."
