Chapter 1098 Three Lifetimes of Slavery
In the Rock Spirit Flying Boat, Luosha looked at Xiao Mian like a monster.
This guy!
He was clearly a cultivator from Tiandu City, and a disciple from a noble family with a good status, but he deliberately played tricks on me, which was really abominable!
Luosha, of course, believed in the Golden Light Reflection Mirror and the Zhoutian Star Array.
Xiao Mian would not explain anything in a thankless way. If Luosha believed that he was a cultivator from Tiandu City, it would not be a bad thing.
Xiao Nantian?
Is this the new name I will use when I venture into Tiandu City in the future?
Interesting!
However, one day, I will make my name Xiao Mian resound throughout Tiandu!
While secretly swearing, the speed of the Rock Spirit Flying Boat did not slow down at all.
Gradually, a low gray line appeared in the western sky...
As it got closer and closer, Xiao Mian realized that the line was not actually low, but just an illusion because it was too far away.
The Rock Spirit Flying Boat traveled for a quarter of an hour before Xiao Mian arrived under the city wall.
After walking out of the Rock Spirit Flying Boat, Xiao Mian looked up at the high wall in front of him that was like a cliff that reached the sky. Even Xiao Mian, who had such a solid character, could not help but sigh at the magnificent scene in front of him.
That wall was naturally the wall of Tiandu City.
But this wall was too much!
It was a hundred feet high, too high!
It was too long, out of reach, too long!
It was indestructible, too hard!
What was even more excessive was the sense of oppression caused by the abnormal wall.
Although his heart was full of twists and turns, Xiao Mian did not show much on the surface.
This made the Luosha beside him more convinced that Xiao Mian was a native cultivator of Tiandu City - after all, no one who saw the wall of Tiandu City for the first time would be as calm as Xiao Mian. In this case, he must have seen such a magnificent scene a long time ago.
No wonder!
No wonder this bastard did not enter his identity information in Longmen Mountain, and the Zhoutian Xingxiu formation did not respond to him.
Just because, he already existed in the Zhoutian Xingxiu formation!
Ridiculous, I would actually make that bet with him...
No matter how Luosha complained about herself, she had to follow Xiao Mian and entered the familiar yet unfamiliar Tiandu City!
After entering Tiandu City, Xiao Mian keenly sensed that the surrounding spiritual atmosphere had been upgraded to a higher level.
Although he remained calm on the surface, Xiao Mian was furious in private.
Stealing souls!
Today, although Xiao Mian still has no definite evidence for the so-called stealing souls of the Hunyuan Patriarch, he believes it more and more.
Just because, if this world is allowed to play freely, it is impossible to create the Tiandu City that is known as the only one - it is only man-made!
No matter how unbearable Nanyuezhou is, it occupies a piece of heaven and earth after all. According to the natural laws of the operation of the heaven, no matter how unfair it is, it is impossible to be useless.
Let alone Nanyuezhou, other four states such as Dongwuzhou, Xishuzhou and Beiweizhou, even if they are united, cannot compare with Zhongzhou.
That's not all!
The nine sacred places that dominate the world all come from Tiandu City!
If it weren't artificially fabricated, how could there be such a coincidence?
In other words, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy in Tiandu City, the more it exploits Nanyuezhou!
With this almost heavy mentality, Xiao Mian walked into a practice inn.
In the quiet room, Xiao Mian took out the detailed map of Zhongzhou.
As the heart of Zhongzhou, Tiandu City is naturally the top priority.
Therefore, in the detailed map of Zhongzhou, Tiandu City is described in great detail with great ink and space.
The whole Tiandu City is like a round cake.
The round cake is covered with dense black dots, some larger, some smaller, like sesame seeds sprinkled on the cake, a dark mass...
These dots are the large and small buildings in Tiandu City.
Among them, the most eye-catching ones are seventeen in total!
The White Jade Capital in the sky, five floors and twelve cities!
The five floors are: the Eastern Lone Wood Tower, the Southern Fire Sealing Tower, the Western Gold Absolute Tower, the Northern Water Cutting Tower, and the Central Earth Tower!
The five floors are in line with the five elements of the five directions.
The twelve cities are represented by the twelve earthly branches, like a circle, inlaid on the outside of the central area composed of the five floors.
These five floors and twelve cities firmly occupy the central area of Tiandu City.
In addition to the five floors and twelve cities, there are other scattered buildings, but even if they are integrated together, they cannot shake the absolute status of the five floors and twelve cities.
Besides, Xiao Mian's detailed map of Zhongzhou is indeed a top-notch one.
The five floors and twelve cities, the most important buildings of these seventeen sects, have their own independent scrolls and detailed introductions, and those slightly larger buildings are all marked.
Even Luosha, who was standing aside, was shocked when she saw it - many of the things recorded on the map were things she had never heard of.
"You! Since you have this treasure map in your hand and you are a native cultivator of Tiandu City, why do you need me for it? Why do you have to make things difficult for me?"
"Yes! This thing is indeed detailed and clear in black and white, but this map has been in my hands for decades. The overall pattern of Tiandu City may not change, but the details are probably changing with each passing day, right?" After explaining his original intention, Xiao Mian asked calmly: "Why? Do you think that your status as a quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator is not as good as this dead thing in my hand? Don't forget! The transaction between us has not been completed yet! Do you want to leave?"
"Hmph! If I fell into your hands, I would have put my life and death aside for a long time. But I'm afraid I will disappoint Fellow Daoist Xiao! Even this Tiandu City is not familiar to me!"
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"You! Do you really want to humiliate me to the point of shame before you give up?"
Suddenly, Rakshasa's face changed drastically and he became emotional.
Xiao Mian did not expect that the other party would react like this, and was a little surprised.
But at this moment, Rakshasa revealed a fact that shocked Xiao Mian...
This Rakshasa ancestor was not a local monk in Tiandu City.
Three generations back, Rakshasa's grandfather went through all kinds of hardships and finally reached Tiandu City, where he was lucky enough to occupy a place.
From then on, Rakshasa's fathers also worked diligently and worked hard without complaining.
The generation of Rakshasa is the last hope...
Just because Tiandu City has a very strict management system for foreign monks - slaves for three lifetimes!
Unless the monks who enter Tiandu City are extremely powerful, they must start from the lowest level as a slave, and they will last for three lifetimes!
After three lives, the descendants of foreign monks can completely get rid of slavery.
Rakshasa is the third generation descendant of the Luo family.
If nothing unexpected happens to her and she devotes herself to Tiandu City until her death, then her children will be able to enjoy the same treatment as the local monks in Tiandu City.
At least, that's what Tianducheng officials say...
"Oh? Are you a slave for three generations? Is there such a rule?"
"Hmph! Of course you local monks in Tiandu City don't know this!"
"What you say is both right and wrong. How do you know that my ancestor of the Xiao family must be a local monk in Tiandu City? Maybe he is a foreign monk who has survived three generations!"
Xiao Mian's words left the Rakshasa speechless.
On the one hand, Xiao Mian's words were not impossible; on the other hand, Rakshasa never expected that Xiao Mian would slander his family's lintel.
It should be noted that in Tiandu City, almost everyone is proud of the local monks in Tiandu City.
Foreign monks like Rakshasa, who are only one step away from enjoying the same treatment as the local monks in Tiandu City, are still inferior.
After thinking about it, Rakshasa was relieved.
Maybe this bastard has been hanging around outside for a long time and has contracted the bad habits of those overseas monks...
It’s true that I don’t know how blessed I am!
Just when Rakshasa was complaining like this, Xiao Mian asked again.
"Fellow Rakshasa! Where is your ancestral home?" Seeing Rakshasa's wary face, Xiao Mian smiled calmly: "Maybe, Mr. Xiao has also been to your hometown!"
Rakshasa didn't want to answer Xiao Mian, but after hearing Xiao Mian's words, Rakshasa was slightly stunned, and finally revealed a name that surprised Xiao Mian.
South Vietnam!
This ancestor of the Luo family actually came from Nanyue Prefecture...
Looking at Rakshasa, Xiao Mian couldn't laugh or cry; looking at Xiao Mian, Rakshasa was indignant.
Rakshasa took Xiao Mian's dumbfounding as disdain and ridicule.
It should be noted that even among the five states in the world, Nanyue State is at the bottom.
Rakshasa has long understood this...
Now that Rakshasa has gathered her spiritual consciousness, no one dares to bully her too much. However, in those days, even though she was a descendant of foreign monks, she was often bullied by her peers - just because the Luo family was the one with the lowest status. Coming from South Vietnam!
"Nan Yue State! I've really been there!"
"Wha...what!?"
Rakshasa looked at Xiao Mian with disbelief.
Xiao Mian was minding his own business, telling some about the customs and customs of Nanyue Prefecture...
At first, Rakshasa was noncommittal.
But gradually, she would ask a question or two when Xiao Mian's tone paused.
Xiao Mian also talked about everything he knew.
For a long time, the quiet room suddenly fell into silence.
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Rakshasa took the jade talisman that opened the door and pressed it randomly.
Suddenly, a burst of spiritual light appeared in the quiet room. Under Xiao Mian's slightly surprised gaze, the burst of spiritual light condensed into a spiritual curtain.
On the spiritual screen, some images of characters appeared.
Although Xiao Mian didn't know why, he remained calm.
"Fellow Taoist! Having been away from Tiandu City for nearly a hundred years, you shouldn't be unfamiliar with 'spiritual vision', right? Although it is just a pastime to kill time, it is not without merit."
"Spiritual vision? It seems to be more advanced than before..."
In a few words, Xiao Mian found out the so-called spiritual vision from Rakshasa's mouth.
Of course, this is because Rakshasa has identified Xiao Mian as a local monk in Tiandu City. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to get some information from her.
Spiritual vision, a popular imaging technology.
Through the transmission of spiritual energy, tens of millions of people can watch a specific image at the same time in an instant - it is still the great array of stars that realizes spiritual vision!
Seeing the love stories being shown on the spiritual vision, Xiao Mian was quite dissatisfied - monks should be brave and diligent, how can they have long-term love for their children?
However, regardless of the content played by the spiritual vision, the technology of the spiritual vision alone was enough to make Xiao Mian more vigilant.
In normal times, this is naturally just a trick for entertainment.
But it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is enough for the top management of Tiandu City to use spiritual vision to control the vast majority of monks in Tiandu City, and it is also subtle and unconscious.
It should be noted that all content played in the spiritual vision has been reviewed by Tianducheng.
Just when Xiao Mian was thinking this, the spiritual screen flickered and suddenly switched away.
A girl in palace dress appeared on the spiritual screen. Her appearance and figure were naturally one in a million and rare in the world.
Even Xiao Mian, who was of such a temperament, couldn't help but let out a breath of turbid air.
But then, the report reported by the girl made Xiao Mian couldn't help but take a breath...
The report was very simple, only a hundred words.
Ye Tan, the guard of Longmen Mountain, murdered his colleagues, stole treasures and fled privately. The arbitration court ruled: Ye Tan's identity seal was deprived, and the Ye family would be slaves forever!
The spiritual screen shook, and then switched to the previous entertainment program.
But at this time, Xiao Mian and Luosha no longer had the interest to watch.
It would be fine to deprive Ye Tan of her identity seal. After all, Ye Tan herself had already died at the hands of Xiao Mian. What was the use of her identity seal?
But what really shocked Xiao Mian was the last eight words!
The Ye family will be slaves forever!
"Daoyou! Why are you making such a fuss?" After calming down, Luosha whispered in a self-deprecating tone: "Arbitration Court? Humph! On weekdays, we foreign cultivators are most afraid to hear the three words "Arbitration Court"! Those Tiandu cultivators are always looking for trouble with us, not to mention the great evil of "killing colleagues"?"
"Is Ye Tan also a foreign cultivator?"
"What else! Otherwise, do you think: a local cultivator like you in Tiandu City would be interested in guarding Longkou Rock for three years?" Facing Xiao Mian, Luosha shouted at the top of his lungs: "We foreign cultivators do the dirtiest and most tiring work, get the lowest salary, take the greatest risks, but live the most humble life..."
The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and his emotions were out of control for a time.
"What about Senior Yelu?"
Ignoring Luosha's loss of control, Xiao Mian asked himself.
