Daily life in the era of Reiki

Xi'an's mother approached the leading old women and proposed the idea of ​​waiting in the city for her mother to pick them up, which immediately got everyone's approval.

There is a decent-sized town right in front of you, so hurry up tomorrow and get there in the afternoon.

Afterwards, they discussed who would deliver the letter, and Miao Sheng, who was following Xi'an's mother, volunteered to take over the task of delivering the letter. Seeing that he was short and thick, and he didn't even lose his baby fat face, everyone present burst into laughter.

Miao Sheng blinked. It's been a long time since I felt this feeling of not being trusted.

As one of the top awakened people in Huaguo, few people would refute what he said and what he wanted to do.

But the little boy also has an advantage, no one can stop him from playing tricks, hearing him say that if you don't take him, you will sneak away, a group of women had to agree to take him.

Anyway, there can't be only one person to deliver the letter. As the most powerful boy among the teenagers, he can accumulate experience and broaden his horizons by running along with him, so as not to be overwhelmed with ignorance when he grows up.

Although Xia Xi's mother is very worried about her son, Miao Sheng's performance along the way gave her a lot of confidence. The current situation does not allow her to treat her son like a child anymore. Since he wants to take on the responsibility of protecting everyone, then Just do it.

The night passed fairly peacefully, and the leading old ladies got up early to urge everyone to hurry to the city when they had an idea in their minds.

The city is not only safe, but you can also find a job to supplement the consumption along the way.

Their husbands will be in charge of household expenses by themselves, and apart from a little food in the kitchen, what they can bring out is really limited.

Before the sleep time was over, everyone was woken up. The babies who couldn’t wake up were swaddled and put on their backs. After breakfast, the team trotted forward. They heard that they would enter the town and wait for their family members to pick them up. People's footsteps are very light.

Miao Sheng carried Xi'an's little cousin on his back, half-supporting her with his hands. The eldest aunt was the only sister-in-law of Xi'an's mother who was born in the north. They didn't communicate much on weekdays. The main reason was that Xi'an's father had a bad relationship with his elder brother.

Now there is no need to worry anymore, the eldest son of the eldest aunt stayed in the south, and she left with only two daughters. Miao Sheng and Xia's mother will help as much as possible.

During the third rotation of the day, that is, after [-] o'clock in the morning, many people ran across the most dangerous area before getting up.

In front of it is a large planting area of ​​ant fungus, which belongs to the key protection area of ​​the city defense team, and in front of it is the town, and no one will do things here without opening their eyes.

Feeling safe, everyone slowed down. They ran nearly [-] kilometers in three hours, and they were exhausted by now.

Miao Sheng put down his little cousin, and was so tired that he was panting like a big bellows. Many adults were more miserable than him, let alone children, who were carried over for the second half.

Seeing that the city was ahead and that they would soon reach a safe place, everyone refused to stop and tried their best to move forward.

A giant ant-beast convoy from the ant fungus that was transporting bread mushrooms to the city from behind caught up. The people in the car saw a group of women and children in such a state of distress. direction to go.

Get off at the gate of the city, thank the ant fungus family and watch the convoy enter the city. They need to be inspected by the city defense team.

In fact, there is nothing to check. Seeing the combination of their team, one knows which residence must be unlucky.

Such a team of women and children usually has nothing to earn except for their own value.

The head of the city gate only looked around, and found that they were all thick and strong women. They couldn't even find any cute children, so they waved them into the city without interest.

Miao Sheng thought that he needed to collect the city fee, but he didn't expect to come in so easily. He unfolded his spiritual consciousness and observed the gate of the city, only to find that the fee is only for unfamiliar adult men, and women and children can come and go freely.

[It's quite particular. 】Taoyao sneered.It didn't ignore the scrutinizing eyes of the city defense team just now. Fortunately, the women of the miner branch are all muscular, which doesn't meet the aesthetics of the dwarves, otherwise I don't know what will happen.

[It seems that the city is not as safe as it appears on the surface. 】Miao Sheng wanted to sigh. The image of the dwarves in his heart continued to collapse, almost falling to the same level as the beautiful country.

Among them was an elderly mother-in-law who once came to this town. She led everyone to rent a dilapidated small courtyard not far from the commercial area, and then asked the women to write home letters and hand them over to the five messengers. good.

In addition to Miao Sheng, the messengers included an old lady who knew the way, two powerful middle-aged women, and a 19-year-old girl named Hu Lan.

Girls of the age of the dwarves are usually married, but because there is no boy in her family, she is raised as a son, and her strength is no worse than that of the younger generation of men. She looks down on anyone and would rather be a happy single dog.

Originally, Hu Lan didn't agree with Miao Sheng's joining, but seeing him carrying one behind the other, running for so long without falling behind, she acquiesced that he became a member of the delivery team.

Miao Sheng didn't know that he had encountered a crisis of trust again, so on the last night of rest in the city, he asked Xi'an's mother about her native family in detail.

Unexpectedly, he really guessed it right. Xi Ya's mother lost her mother at the age of ten, and she did have a stepmother, and she was quite vicious.

The stepmother fell in love with the boy who grew up with her childhood sweetheart, and wanted to bring her daughter to marry him.

So when her father and lover were away, the stepmother secretly exchanged her out, and it was too late to object when her father came back.

Even if the stepmother's daughter was married off far away, and the lover never got married, what's the use of that? The dwarves are absolutely loyal to marriage, and there is no such thing as divorce at all. She thought she would be married sooner or later. I was tortured to death, but I never thought that there would be a day when I would be free again.

Miao Sheng learned about the infatuated man's appearance and address in detail, and planned to go to him first after returning, and let him come to the town first.

At the same time, she also asked Xia's mother to make future plans during this period, whether to return to the north or what, at least she had to have an idea, and she couldn't be manipulated by others anymore.

Xia Xi's mother wanted to laugh at her son for being a child, but she wanted to worry about her affairs, but she burst into tears when she spoke. She knew that her son would leave Youli after he left, and it would take a long time before he could come back.

Miao Sheng didn't know how to comfort her, he could only repeatedly tell her to pay attention to her own safety, everything was foreign and could be discarded, only her own life was the most precious.

As soon as the city gate opened the next day, the messenger team bid farewell to everyone and set off to the north.

Among the five, Hu Lan and the old woman both changed into male clothes, and the old woman also had a big beard. Coupled with their strong physique and weapons in their hands, they looked like a family that was going to visit relatives in other cities.

In the eyes of the robbers, such a team is like a weak existence, not worth wasting effort at all, so after two days of trekking, they arrived at Jihad City, one of the three major cities.

In addition to the main central city, Jihad City also has many supporting satellite cities around it, including the main grain production area, metallurgical manufacturing area, bulk commodity trading area, and so on.

Jihad City mainly contains urban-type industries such as administration, scientific research, commerce and entertainment industries.

In the satellite cities around Jihad City, Miao Sheng finally felt the level of technology that could build the sea-dwelling clan's stone castle warships.

The lights here are bright, and every stone wall is inlaid with huge light balls. You really don’t have to walk by yourself. There are stone railcars full of energy circuits, metal punk-style steam buses, and machines of various shapes. mounts.

Miao Sheng's eyes were shining brightly, he wanted to get all the mechanical products here.

He was particularly interested in the energy circuit on the rail car, but after scanning all the circuits, he felt a little dull.

It's just the simplest energy conduction path, and it's a dimension behind the spirit patterns of the formation.

Although the consumption of magic stones has been reduced to a minimum, Huaguo does not consume so many spirit stones, and this thing is not applicable at all.

Five country bumpkins who had just entered the city squatted in a corner and observed for a long time before being told that the rail car was free to ride, but the route was too fixed, only the route from Jihad City to several satellite cities.

The steam bus is much more flexible, and you can even charter a bus at the terminus, and you can go anywhere you want if you have money.

Miao Sheng knows that the roadside stalls who are popular with them are just bragging. These means of transportation have too high requirements on road conditions. Except for big cities and surrounding areas, they can’t go out at all. more convenient.

Like the giant ant beasts I saw before, and the two-legged lizards running around on two hind legs that are somewhat similar to the velociraptors, they are all monsters that are very good at running. They are the underground world A popular mainstream riding beast.

Arriving at Jihad City on a rail car, the eyes of the five people are even more insufficient. The city is located on an underground fault zone, and rolling magma can be seen at the deepest point, while the city is excavated layer by layer on the stone wall above the magma. from.

The ancestral land of the Wu Clan was also dug out from the rocky mountain, but its magnificence is incomparable to this place. The Jihad City is so large that it can accommodate millions of residents living in it.

Half of the buildings are above the current stratum level, and the other half is deep underground. Against the backdrop of the lights, the whole city is as magnificent and iron-blooded as a doomsday fortress.

From time to time, steam rises up from below, and the steam engine powered by magma provides power for the entire city, which is then transported to every corner of the city by the energy circuit.

Miao Sheng couldn't see more facilities inside the building, but the private steam car running back and forth on the road, and the lighting as bright as day, already made people feel the extraordinary here.

He asked Venus to record images of the underground world along the way. According to her calculations, the Jihad City is roughly located in the north-central mountain range on the west coast of the beautiful country. Who would have thought that there is such a prosperous underground city under the mountain range.

The price of goods in the city is frighteningly high, and those who are not familiar with the place are afraid that they will offend the nobles if they stay in the city for a long time, and they will suffer if they delay the delivery of the letter.

Therefore, they only took a self-rotation tour in the city, and then took the rail car to the northernmost satellite city, intending to rest there for a night before leaving.

The northernmost satellite city is the territory of the city defense army and the ant fungus tribe. The small inn where Miao Sheng and the others stayed is almost close to the edge of the city, not very far from a waste warehouse of the city defense army.

This is the place Miao Sheng specially guided everyone to choose. He saw the ruffian style of the city defense army along the way, and he was full of expectations for the abandoned warehouse on the edge of the city.

He dared to bet with his head that the city defense army must be tricky in terms of armaments. They want to hide armaments and trade them secretly. Is there a better place to hide and sell stolen goods than the abandoned warehouses set up around the city.

The demons living underground all have a clear schedule of work and rest, and the brightness can be controlled by the lights in the city, which is even more so.

After nightfall, the surrounding area was quiet. After the other four fell asleep, Qingtuan started to sneak, and Miao Sheng jumped into the wall of the abandoned warehouse like a brisk deer.

According to his perception, in addition to the dozens of warehouses on the outside, there are three floors underground with a relatively large scale inside the wall.

The outer walls of the space are all made of materials that cannot be penetrated by spiritual consciousness. Miao Sheng concentrated his energy to force his way in, but he could only vaguely see that there were many things inside.

It’s fine if it’s not empty, Miao Sheng chuckled. In fact, there are two warehouses above that are full of waste machinery. They are all military mechanical mounts seen during the day. Although they are missing arms and legs, they are already very valuable.

Of course, it would be best if he could get something from the underground space, but he didn't force it if he couldn't.

The management on the ground here is relatively lax, and even the door of the warehouse is not closed too tightly, leaving a gap of two centimeters.

Miao Sheng definitely couldn't squeeze in. He squatted in front of the gap and scanned the inside carefully, making sure that there were no induction equipment or energy circuits before sending Taoyao in.

Taoyao stretched out her roots, jumping on a pile of metal bumps like a spring, and followed Miao Sheng's instructions to put the fairly complete machine into the space.

The two warehouses collected more than 100 pieces in total, and it seemed that dozens of complete ones could be saved, so Miao Sheng stopped.

If you continue to accept it, people will see that there are traces of reduction. Don't make this obvious thing too conspicuous, so as not to get into trouble and delay the trip.

As for how to enter the underground, Miao Sheng was a little confused.

He only found a gap in the door of the underground entrance, and it was too inefficient to sweep it with thin strands of spiritual consciousness, and there was not much time left for him. If it is not lit, everyone will be woken up and on their way.

Miao Sheng sighed when he thought of the method of sending letters. Every city has communication equipment like telephones, but they can only be used within the radiation range of the city, and it will not work if it is farther away. Still intentionally doing technical blockade.

The cities and residences in the underground world are like two worlds. Except for the gap in the mobile Internet, the technology on the city’s surface is comparable to that of the beautiful country above. In ancient primitive society.

Miao Sheng was worrying, and the patrolling beasts passing by gave him inspiration. Remembering the spirit attachment skills that he had forgotten for a long time since the evolution of spiritual consciousness, Miao Sheng immediately attached the spiritual consciousness to one of the two limbs of a velociraptor. Lizard on the body.

A clear image of the underground building immediately appeared in Miao Sheng's mind, with a glare effect. This is because the spectrum of the beast rider is wider than that of humans, and it can see ultraviolet rays.

The patrolling area of ​​the soldiers riding the two-legged lizard is only the basement floor, and the other two floors are not within his defense range, but Miao Sheng is not willing to see only the first floor. The only difference between the equipment stored here and the warehouse above is that The whole, better ones are definitely underground.

So Miao Sheng controlled the riding beast and turned on the crazy mode. First, he swung his body and threw the soldier on his back into the air, and then slammed into the gate leading to the second underground floor.

Sa Yazi ran around on the second floor, knocking over countless mechanical cavalry who tried to stop them along the way. Compared with riding beasts, they were too inflexible.

Miao Sheng came up with a new trick, using the soul connection of the contract, to map the picture he saw to the souls of Taoyao and the others. The partners sat by the gate leading to the underground and controlled the horses like playing games. The beast went on a rampage and was so happy.

But soon Miao Sheng noticed something was wrong, because a powerful spiritual consciousness appeared, trying to rob Miao Sheng of the control of the beast.

Miao Sheng's soul power has been the strongest in their village since birth, and he has never met an opponent in this respect. The sudden appearance of powerful spiritual consciousness aroused his fighting spirit, and he just wanted to increase the output of soul power to fight against the opponent. In one round, the opponent retreated and took control of the other mounted beasts instead.

The second basement floor was completely bustling. It was no longer just a two-legged lizard who went crazy, but more than 20 animals of various types jumped together. door.

The gate on the third floor was sealed by some means. The first beast that looked like a hunting dog broke its neck, but it didn't stop the beasts behind from hitting it up one after another.

Miao Sheng controlled the two-legged lizard to retreat quietly, it's fine to play together, but it's fine to die.

I don't know which hero from the underground is controlling this group of beasts. If it is a big devil, it will level the whole area after it comes out, and the four ladies who live not far away will be miserable.

The turmoil in the underground soon attracted additional soldiers on the ground. An old dwarf man with a big beard led a group of soldiers and ran towards the ground cursing. Seeing the opportunity, Miao Sheng followed behind and entered the underground space through the open gate. .

After entering, the first wave of refugees ushered in. The non-combatants on the ground rolled and climbed up. Taoyao quickly supported the walls on both sides with branches, and lifted Miao Sheng up to avoid being carried away by the crowd. go out.

Miao Sheng felt that it was very convenient to walk on the ceiling, so she asked Tao Yao to continue. He was hung above and put away all the things that could catch his eye. It's just a corner, so why not be polite.

At this time, the soldiers underground were entangled with the riding beasts, trying to control them, at least keep them away from the gate on the third floor, and they couldn't really let them knock the gate open.

But the riding beast is controlled by the powerful species on the third floor, so it can't be easily lured away. The moment the door was knocked open, a powerful spiritual pressure surged out, crushing the soldiers and the riding beast at the door up.

The only ones who could stand were the bearded dwarf old man, and Miao Sheng who was hanging from the ceiling to watch the fun. Under the protection of Miao Sheng's spiritual consciousness, the partners didn't feel any pressure at all.

Seeing the old man rushing into the third basement floor with spiritual pressure on him, Miao Sheng put away Taoyao and followed him in. After entering, the scene in front of him even made him scream in a low voice.

The space on the third floor is much smaller than the upper two floors. There is only a huge transparent aquarium in the center. The things swimming up and down in it look a bit like a dragon, but more like a white dragon and phoenix koi.

Its body is streamlined, and the fish head is the most dragon-like part. There are bifurcated sarcoma protrusions on the fish nose, which are very similar to dragon horns.

The mouth is a bit like the alligator of Huaguo, short and naive.The eyes are round in the middle and narrow and long on both sides. They also come with eye makeup, which has a sense of seduction.

The wide fins are like long skirts, making the nearly ten-meter-long fish body domineering and elegant, appearing elegant and agile.

Just looking at his appearance, this guy has already conquered Miao Sheng's group of friends, not to mention that he still has a strong soul power. If he can be brought under his command, his own strength can be raised to another level.

Miao Sheng salivated at the dragon and phoenix koi, but the dwarf old man was jumping and cursing, telling the dragon carp to stop making unnecessary resistance.

After his wise boss eats its living brain, he will break through and become the most powerful dwarf. When the boss becomes the king of the dwarves, he will erect a monument for his hero.

After speaking, he waved his fingers and put away the huge aquarium.

Miao Sheng was not happy at the moment, why did his companion become a dish and had to be eaten alive, what is the difference with a savage who drinks blood?

The dwarves have such a high level of technological civilization, it doesn’t matter if their spiritual civilization does not progress, and they still want to regress into a monarchy. As a future student of the dwarves, Miao Sheng expressed his indignation with the hammer of the soul, strongly protesting this kind of backward civilization. Behavior.

He beat the dwarf old man to the ground, and after searching around, he couldn't find where the dragon carp was put away. Miao Sheng thought that you forced me, and asked Taoyao to wring his neck.

The next gem floated up from the back of his hand. Miao Sheng took it into his hand, and observed that the dragon carp inside was just forced to sleep, and did not suffer any real damage. After thinking about the current situation, he decided to Just let it go to sleep.

All the shopkeepers here are dead, so Miao Sheng is no longer polite. First, he cleared the third floor, and then moved to the second floor. After the underground space is empty, he fills up the first floor with the collected land. Even the entrance was smoothed out.

Anyway, as long as there is magic energy, those unconscious people and beasts in the underground will not die. When they struggled out, the delivery team had already run away.

Back at the inn, Miao Sheng was woken up by the old lady when he fell asleep for less than one rotation. He ate something and went on the road again.

Along the way, they avoided the caravans as usual. Guys who can travel to and from the underground world are not good people. Unless their own strength can make them fearful, otherwise they must be ready to change from customers to commodities when dealing with them.

But no matter how careful the five of them were, there were times when they couldn't avoid it. While resting behind a rock, Miao Sheng observed the team approaching from a distance, and knew something might be wrong.

It was a carefree and bright slave transport convoy.

In the thick metal cages on more than a dozen vehicles, giant otters with a stature close to two meters were imprisoned, and seven other vehicles were filled with all kinds of underground demons, ranging from middle-aged men to women and children.

Being able to do human trafficking so blatantly shows how powerful the forces behind them are.
