Talisman Emperor
Chapter 603 The Mortal World
Hidden Ditch City.
It was a city in the mortal world that was densely populated, covered in rivers, full of ships, and highly developed.
The streets were crowded with all sorts of figures such as scholars, traveling merchants, guards, magicians, players, and storytellers, and they could be seen everywhere.
Chen Xi felt a dense air from the mortal world strike her face the moment she arrived at Hidden Moat City. The boundless mortal world was being crowded, and it was completely different from the cultivation world.
"Rich Jade Steamed Buns, Rich Jade Steamed Buns directly from the steamship. The Dynasty Founder once did an inspection and ate steamed bread that had been steamed by my humble ancestor, and he praised it abundantly. ”
"The spectators, this feathered fan was stitched together by the number one talent of the Cleansing Jade Pavilion, while the poem on the fan itself came from the number one scholar of the Imperial Academy, Zhuang Wuyu. The furry fan was filled with scent and was a cherished poem, and only 80 gold pieces. Don't miss this opportunity. "This is the cry of a hairy peddler.
"The Immortal Jing Si opened her elegant mouth to spit out the immortal sword with a sigh, and it only looked like a ray of white light piercing through the sun. A cold wind rippled as the immortal sword covered the heaven and earth, and it terrified the Flowering Old Demon Willow to the point that his soul was about to leave his body, and he fled with the intent to escape … "In a tea house, a storyteller is telling a story with passion.
"Ah, so it's Brother Qing Xian. You will also go to the capital for the exam? I heard the Chief Examiner of the Imperial Academy is Mr. Xiao Jinyu. He is an honest and impartial person who has a strong writing style, and he hates showy flowery writing but without the most substance. We must properly consider Lord Xiao Jinyu's preferences when we write, otherwise we might fail the test. "
“You are right, Brother Feng Bao. Do we not study the books of the wise and the wise in spite of difficulties in order to pass the test and become world famous. Once I succeed in the exam, I will definitely head to the number one brothel in the capital, Falling Cloud Pavilion, for drinks before having fun with the number one prostitute. "
"Ha huh! Pass the exam, have a wedding night, and meet an old friend in a distant land. Are not these three pride of life that we admire and long for? Brother Qing Xian, let's have a drink and chat cheerfully. We will enjoy ourselves now and not waste our youth. "
Two scholars in scientific attire were walking down the street as they chatted, and they seemed to be scholars who were heading to the capital for an exam and were filled with yearning and hope.
When he saw the scene before his eyes and heard various sounds on the streets, Chen Xi's mind calmed down involuntarily.
He was strolling the streets of the mortal world while experiencing the emotions of commoners, and he seemed to be deep in thought as he watched them busy for the sake of their livelihood.
This was the mortal world, it was like a chaotic wave that many living beings passed through while living and dying according to the will of god. Although they were small and ordinary like ants, they lived and died without end, forming a myriad of mortal world forms and driving change in history.
Cultivators fought under the Heaven Dao and worked hard for the sake of obtaining eternal life. Commoners rise and fall in the way of life, doing menial labor for their own livelihood. How ridiculous was it that cultivators looked down on commoners and felt they were supreme, and they thought all living things were ants? But under Heaven Dao, who was truly petite and like an ant?
If I can stand above Heaven Dao in this life, will I be able to surpass everything? Chen Xi stopped moving in the mortal world that was flowing endlessly with people, and then she looked up at the sky while her mind floated far away. For the first time, he had the strong intention and urge to open the shackles to him and stand on top of Heaven Dao.
He really wanted to know what kind of scene he would see when he stood on top of Heaven Dao.


"Sister, do you want to buy a pair of straw sandals?" On the side of the road where Chen Xi stopped was a middle-aged woman peddling straw sandals, and there was a young girl standing by his side. The young girl was short and skinny, dark skin, and a dirty face, and only her pair of eyes were large and clear and pitch-black like the stars.
The young girl noticed Chen Xi had been standing in front of their straw sandal stall for a long time, and she thought she liked one of the straw sandals woven by her mother, she said, so he hesitated for a moment before mustering up the courage to ask in a light voice.
"Girl, shut up!" The middle-aged woman's face turned grim as she reprimanded the young girl. A normal person could not compare to what Chen Xi revealed, and he was worried that his daughter who spoke like this would cause Chen Xi to be unhappy because it would be troublesome.
"Mother, but what will we do about our younger brother's illness if we can't raise enough money?" The young girl lowered her head while her little hands intertwined together with anxiety, and she spoke weakly.
Chen Xi regained her senses, and she noticed that the clothes of this mother and son were covered up and very shabby. Obviously, they live in extreme poverty and are very miserable.
In addition, there were many pairs of straw sandals placed on the stall in front of them, and it filled the stall completely. Chen Xi could see with a glance that they did not sell a pair.
By this time, it was already dusk, and if nothing unexpected happened, they might not have any income today.
"I'll take all these straw sandals." Chen Xi's palm moved to give silver coins to the middle-aged woman. "Take it and hurry back to bring your child in for treatment." This silver coin was enough for a poor family to live stable for several years.
"ah! Thank you, Young Master. Thank you, Young Master .. "The middle-aged woman could not help but be shocked when she saw the large and heavy silver coin in her hand, and then he hurriedly expressed his gratitude and was excited to the point that he spoke a little vaguely.
Chen Xi had already left tripping.
"Mother, have we met a god?" Chen Xi disappeared instantly causing the young girl to be unable to resist rubbing her eyes, and she thought it was a hallucination.
But when he looked once more, he was unable to find Chen Xi's figure anymore, and there were only silver coins in his mother's hands. This caused the young girl to think that she would meet the god of legends, and her pitch-black eyes were filled with excitement.
Outside of Hidden Trench Town, Ghost Wasteland.
This was a terrifying place that caused the faces of everyone in the city to turn pale just from mentioning it. There are evil spirits that roam in them and will appear at night, and they specialize in seizing the souls of others and eating the internal organs, causing them to be very frightening.
Supposedly, those evil spirits were priests and traitors who were killed here during the rebellion. They were killed here in the wilderness while their blood flowed into the river, whereas, their hatred did not spread and formed many evil spirits in the end.
During these several hundred years, almost no one dared to approach this terrifying place, causing it to become as desolate as a confined place.
However, on this night, there was a tall figure who had arrived at this empty land, and he arrived inside a temple that had collapsed a long time ago.
The walls of this temple have collapsed and are completely covered in dust and cobwebs, whereas the statues of the gods inside the temple have blurred faces, broken, and have collapsed long before, and it is impossible to see exactly which gods they are. .
Rumbles! The night veil descended and black clouds covered the sky, causing it to become so dark that one could not see a finger on its own. Suddenly, a muffling wave of thunder resounded as silver bolts danced in the sky, and then a rainstorm descended.
Lightning, lightning strikes, and rainstorms.
Ding!
A flame appeared all of a sudden before igniting the dry wood gathered on the ground, and a bright flame, causing the terrifying temple to have a hint of warmth.
I finally completed all 107 test tasks. Based on my calculations, I have already left the sect for over a month, and there are only seven more days before the Peak Court, and his gaze swept across the size of a duck egg.the jet of black pearl in his hand before he stored it with the flip of his hand.
It was the Soulpearl Spectre, and he got it from killing one of the demons in the Ghost Wasteland. It could not be considered valuable, yet it was a necessary ingredient to refine a heaven-ranked spirit pill.
Hm? Right at this moment, Chen Xi's eyebrows shot up because she seemed to have noticed something. This place was filled with evil spirits and covered with ghosts while containing an extremely dense aura of hatred and Yin. In addition, deep at night when it rains cats and dogs with lightning tearing the sky. Why would anyone come here at this time …?
Uh, so that's them. Chen Xi's Divine Sense stretched out and instantly saw a pair of mother and son at the bottom of the desert challenging the rainstorm as they walked. They staggered together while completely drenched, and they seemed to be in a very sorry state.
They were exactly the pair of poor mother and daughter Chen Xi had seen peddling straw sandals in Hidden Moat City.
Strange, could it be that they did not know this place was dangerous? Chen Xi frowned, and she felt this was a little strange because it was like a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger when commoners like them came here. After all, the evil spirits here were indifferent to good and bad when they killed.
"Mom, there's a light there. Come on in and avoid the rain first. How about we go home all night after the rain stops? ”
"Alright, Son. You walk slower and be careful. ”Not long after, the pair of mother and son arrived in the desert and rushed to the ruined temple, the, and the two of them were stunned as they pushed open the door and looked at Chen Xi who was near the fire. . They never seemed to have imagined that they would actually meet Chen Xi here.
"Sit down and warm yourself up first." Chen Xi stood up and spoke as she looked at the pair of mother and daughter who were soaking wet.
“Thank you, Young Master. Thank you, Young Master. ”The middle-aged woman helped the young girl wipe the rainwater on her body as she thanked Chen Xi, and she kept repeating the same words. Although she was somewhat rambling, Chen Xi could understand that she was a simple and kind woman.
Soon, Chen Xi learns that this mother and daughter couple live in a village on the other side of this desert. There is another road that leads directly to the village but because they want to make the best use of their time to take care of their son, he could not care about anything else and could only use this closer walk to rush home overnight.
"Sister, what are you doing here? This is the Land of Ghosts, and there are many evil spirits here. Aren't you scared? "The young girl raised her small head and asked Chen Xi.
"Because there are evil spirits, then why are you not afraid?" Chen Xi asked with a smile.
"I'm scared. But my mom and I still have to go home and boil medicine for a little brother. He was very sick, and we were very worried about him, so we could only rush home overnight, "The young girl smiled as she spoke.
Chen Xi looked at the brilliant smile that the young girl squeezed on her dark little face and she was suddenly stunned when a wisp of indescribable feeling was touched and shocked appeared.
This was only a child of around five or six years old, but it had even forgotten the fear for the sake of caring for his younger brother, and he had even neglected his own safety …
What kind of feeling was there that they could let him be brave and not afraid?
"Sister, this is the crimson crown crane I weave for you. See if you like it. ”The young girl suddenly spoke excitedly as she carefully undid her pock, and then she searched for a long time but only pulled out a bunch of wet hay.
"Derek red crowned has squashed .. Brother, I'm sorry." A layer of tears gushed out from the young girl's big eyes when she saw the straw on her palm, and she spoke in a soft voice. .
