Ten Mile Room

It takes a whole month and two days to travel from Kyushu to Foji Aili. This is still a direct flight, and only a few stops at the fixed assembly point to pick up the contestants.

And as the first-class cabin became more and more full, after those libertines and rich people from all over the world boarded the ship, the entire airship became a carnival for hunters.

Jiang Gezi, who always felt that he was squatting in the nest of wealth and dismissed money, realized that it wasn't that he didn't know how to spend money, but that the environment he lived in didn't teach him so many ways of spending at all, so he kept spending money. Rich, from enough money to spiritual he is rich.

However, Yiling unlocked all the mechanisms, and Jiang Gezi opened the door to the new world.

Then the new world told him that your life was so boring and boring, and the new world is also very simple, except for money, it basically has no threshold.

The world's most elegant symphony orchestra is here, the world's top-ranked circus is here, and the world's most prestigious magic master is here, and these common things in the world are just small appetizers. In the entertainment hall on the first floor, they perform for free, and sometimes there is not even an audience after a show.

Jiang Gezi suddenly felt that his eyes couldn't see enough, his ears couldn't hear enough, he was flustered, and felt that there were only three colors left in the world, bright red, dark green, and red gold...they shone alternately, confusing people's minds.

Nobody knows you, your moral world is five, six thousand feet off the ground... You can party as much as you want, and have enough money.

You can have a symphony to accompany your dinner at any time, and all kinds of rare ingredients can appear on your table, and these ingredients are eaten on land, and the starting sentence is more than five years.

Jiang Gezi remembered that when he watched movies in the past, the countryman felt that the spirit of the casino, the motorcycle was elegant on the highway, and the obese mother Sang in the bar street of Xiangcheng was a luxury... He naively thought that it was depravity of darkness.

No!It's not dark to the bottom yet, and it hasn't sunk to the extreme darkness of your thoughts.

Those people can always find all kinds of so-called "fun". Even if you don't understand these, they will hold professional joint exhibitions and lectures to teach you new ways of aesthetic appreciation.

In short, it is to educate you how to spend money, more money, bigger money, and more bloody money is the ultimate life.

For example, using the feathers of endangered birds as accessories for arrow feathers, decorating them with blood materials, and embellishing huge gemstones on the canine teeth to show off their victories are all trivial things. At their grand joint exhibition, jewelry designers Well-dressed and very artistic, he sells you his artistic concepts.

After reading it, you will take it for granted that everything you do and every kind of consumption is upper-class, upper-class, and extremely elegant.

In addition to "elegant" art, there are also women's mud wrestling competitions, real-life archery battles, receptions, carnival dances... where the law can't take care of it, the world can chaotically surpass human nature and morality, and even human beings themselves can become commodities.

The organ traffickers were picking up the goods in the bottom deck, and the Foji Aili people who had already boarded the boat lined up to test their blood and hair, willingly selling themselves.

Jiang Gezi occasionally saw the names of a few medical institutions, all of which are top-ranked in the world, have a history of hundreds of years, have an excellent reputation, often do charity, and build aid hospitals everywhere. The kind of medical chaebols who buy human bodies with clearly marked prices organ……

Jiang Gezi didn't go out much, and every time he went out, he came back with eyes full of sand, squatting in a corner and reflecting on himself, he finally understood that the self who used to be extremely proud was just a naive idiot.

Even Guanshan Ali knew how difficult and dark the world is, and his tribe cannot go to Buddha's Eli, so he did whatever he could.

What did you think at that time?Laughing at him for betrayal, laughing at him for not being able to see through his unlucky fate and repeatedly falling to the bottom, and even feeling that he is superior in comparison, Lao Sanxiang is living an extremely nourishing life...

Thinking about it now, Guan Shan Ali is leading his clansmen to struggle constantly, he is far more tenacious than himself, and his moral character is even a thousand times higher than his own.

In the past, what was the unbearable miserable fate of his predecessor, and the poor parents in the alley compared with this place?

Until now, he didn't understand what a big and tough shell Yu Dongchi had made, and he wrapped him safely in a solid place, so that he would not be shocked or distressed, nor panic nor disturbed.

Not only him, but even Yanzi, and even his buds, Yu Dongchi helped protect him.

But this time, why did he readily agree to come out?

Jiang Gezi took his team members and drifted with the tide on the airship day by day. His world view was being broken and reorganized every day, and he became less and less confident in his control of human nature. Not only him, but also all kinds of "games" outside. There is a way to wrap them in, and if you are not careful, it will be the deepest depravity.

Maojian is submerged in the casino, and Mi Yi and Qian Baorui hang out in the Colosseum on the ground floor every day. Jin Xitai is obsessed with all kinds of feathers decorated with rare birds, especially the ones inlaid with jewels. He plans to collect a basic set of twelve pieces and return The home is inlaid and framed to hang.

The team members even thought that this was nothing. The staff of the Jewelry Joint Exhibition said that whether it is the Western Continent or the Southern Continent, there is no tasteful person who doesn't have two things to support his head.Even the best museums in the Eastern Continent will collect such works of art and sell tickets to display them to the guests.

They legally hunt in Foji Aili, and sell art with complete procedures. The law can't control such things. What happened to how many pieces he bought?

Yes what's the matter?

What does it matter to him that a bird has completely disappeared from the world, and posterity will never see it again?He didn't buy much.

Jin Xitai thought about how much envy I would get if I had a collection hanging in my living room.He and Li Dou kept raising placards at the auction, and every time a work of art was included, they were surrounded by complete envy, which completely satisfied their weak hearts.

When he came back, he said excitedly: "Did you know? I have never been envied so much when I grow up so big. Those poor ghosts from the Western Continent can only watch us from afar... and they didn't spend much money. It's just half a year's salary..."

Their happy consumption, happy making friends, continuous socializing and carnival, every day is extremely happy, the one named Chen Runping and Mao Jian have become lifelong best friends, and the guy named Fan Gejule seems to be very grateful for Jiang Gezi Interested, several times came to visit the cabin with the illegal prohibition of alcohol, and took him to the bottom cabin to see the real world...

When extreme poverty is compared with a luxurious life, their happiness is doubled in groups, and the taste is extremely subtle.

The carnival continued day by day, and finally... at the penultimate station of the voyage, those games, those people, and those entertainment stars quietly left overnight.

When the sun rose the next day, Jiang Gezi and the others woke up and felt that they had had a heavy dream. They even felt a little reluctant in their hearts, and felt that the elements of happiness were far away from them. Never happy again.

On the day when the airship arrived at Foji Aili, Fan Gejule took a break. He once again brought rare fruits, that is, a few apples, a few pineapples with wilted skins, and a bunch of very small grapes.

Although these are just a few simple fruits, but as we get closer and closer to Foji Eli, real things gradually become scarce. In the cafeteria of the first-class cabin, fruits have long been no longer provided, and vegetables There is no more, there is only endless meat, and various thick soups with minced meat and dried mushrooms.

Just for these few fruits, Pangejule paid a lot of money.

Because he came here often and brought decent gifts, this man had the spirit of a master. He knocked on the door and entered the room, just nodded casually at Qian Baorui, raised the gift bag in his hand, and ran straight to Jiang Gezi's bedroom. went.

Little Wu Qianbaorui was a little unhappy, he moved his fingers, thinking, if only there were some unlucky spells in this world.If there is, he will paste the rude guy all over his body, and the best aging time is 1 years.

Pan Gejule entered the room like this, and Jiang Gezi was sitting cross-legged on the ground at this moment, arranging his suddenly increased luggage.

He made a small fortune without spending a penny, and got several liters of precious aromatherapy liquid, hardcover in a twelve-layer wooden box, raw gemstone samples, crystal raw ore samples, and agate raw ore samples presented by the jewelry company.

There is also a large airship station, because it is a small country that produces silk fabrics, so they have a total of ten silk specimen booklets.

Open a page of those books at random, and you can pull out a sample silk fabric with a width of 1.5 meters and a length of three meters.And textile samples of the same quality, placed in the counter of the silk and satin Zhuangzi of the time-honored Kyushu, will sell at least [-] per meter.

There are also those gemstone specimens, any stone, the gemstone and its accompanying creatures are clearly visible, and the quality is absolutely acceptable. If you want, you can cut a small piece of it, polish and cut it, and you can make a decent little ring at any time to please the girl you like.

While sorting out, Jiang Gezi thought seriously. He couldn't figure out the ultimate purpose of those merchants' gifts. What exactly did those people want to do?

It's a pity, some people have pretended for a long time and feel that they should know everything, but his poor living environment of the common people cannot provide him with any clues.

Fan Gejule entered the house, and as soon as he came in, he held up the bag of fruit and said loudly: "Mr. Jia, look what I brought for you, well, just pretend you didn't see anything!"

Pangejule saw that on the table by the window of the small bedroom, there were all kinds of fruits still dripping, piled up into a hill.

There were burnt yellow mangoes, oranges, and white milk grapes. Except for these three, he didn't know the rest, let alone eat them, he had never seen them before.

He was embarrassed, remembering the previous few times he came here to visit, every time Mr. Jia received a gift, his expression was also polite...

So, are these rich people hypocritical, and are they making fun of themselves like clowns?

He scratched the back of his head with a dejected expression, and said in frustration: "Yes, you brought a car team to play, why do you care about something like me?"

Speaking of this, he put the bag of fruit on the table near the door, probably unable to hold back some kind of unspeakable anger, he took out a pear from the bag, rubbed it on the front of his clothes a few times, and bit it. Next, while chewing, he also sat cross-legged in front of Jiang Gezi.

Coincidentally, Jiang Gezi was displaying those large boxes of raw gemstone specimens, so he casually picked up one of them impolitely, held the sky-blue stone high up to the frontal sunlight, squinted one eye and said: "Look at this dark blue elf, it's as beautiful as the deep sea, heh~ no need to ask~ Ring Ocean Jewelry! They know how to play this way, how many years have they been, sending it back and forth is like this Broken stuff."

He was tired of seeing everything crooked, and threw the stone into the box with enough disgust.

He also laughed at himself and said: "You may not believe it, but this is the first time I have touched such a thing. Although I have served on the boat for so many years, this is really a great tragedy!"

Jiang Gezi's busy hands paused slightly, and he asked him with surprise on his face, "You~ haven't you?"

The things were taken by Qian Baorui. He came back and said that in a large room on the top floor, thousands of sets of specimen boxes were piled up there like garbage. He even took one set for the four drivers, even though they In second class.

Hearing this, Fangejule couldn't help laughing, and he said loudly: "Look, what are you thinking! They don't need to shut me up, and I won't ruin my job... The hunting festival has been playing games for so many years. The core has not been leaked, isn't it just relying on these crap! Tsk, it's not too tired..."

He was disgusted with his mouth, but he turned over the unopened packaging bag in his hand, and while rummaging, he continued to mutter: "I'm not a hidden customer of Universal Jewelry, and I can't even afford to buy it at the counter of Universal Jewelry." The smallest piece of metal chain, you aristocratic lords can become members of the Hunting Association and can stay in the first-class cabin, which means that your family is prosperous and has the absolute ability to interfere in the hunting festival. This is their smuggled money to buy the way, how come Give it to me? What benefits can a poor voyager with an annual salary of less than [-] guan bring them?"

So this is ah.

The answer was so simple that it was unexpected, Jiang Gezi stopped in disappointment, and asked Fan Gejule, "Why are you here?"

"My God! Sir, I'm going to say goodbye to you, don't you regret it at all?"

Jiang Gezi was puzzled when he heard the words: "Parting, you don't go to the Buddhist scriptures, Ai Li..."

This man has a language habit that he cares about very much, he never calls Mother God or my Mother God!

When he came to Gaelic, Jiang Gezi knew all the Gaelic people, including Yu Dongchi, even if he knew the truth, he couldn't change the old problems he had been talking about since he was a child.

Fan Gejule, he shouted anxiously, God!If the excitement reaches the peak, he will call my mother!He just didn't mention the Mother Goddess, and even refused to talk about any topic related to witches.

Hearing Jiang Gezi's question, Fan Gejule said with disdain on his face: "I will stay on the airship well, and at least I will be treated to a hot bath every day. What should I do when I go to Foji Aili? Do you eat dirt?"

That's true, after the airship landed, and they entered the player camp, they started to bear all the expenses themselves. Even if a person like Fan Gejule had money, he wouldn't be able to spend it in Foji Aili with banknotes.

Besides, there is no such thing as currency in Foji Aili.

Jiang Gezi nodded and bid farewell without hesitation: "Then~ well, let's meet again next time. Goodbye, Mr. Fangejule."

Hearing this, Fan Gejule stopped biting the fruit in embarrassment. He put half of the fruit on the ground, took a dozen or so deep breaths of air, and then assembled his expression again. He asked Jiang Gezi in a calm tone: "Sir, I remember the first time we met, it was on the top floor, right?"

Jiang Gezi felt that his words were a little redundant, so he said bluntly: "That was only thirty days ago, your memory is like an old man, I advise you to drink less smuggling bars, that stuff Son... hum!"

Fan Gejule took another dozen deep breaths of air, wiped the juice from his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Okay! I mean, I'm just~ a little curious."

"curious?"

"Yes, I'm curious! Because you have been staring at Mr. Iseyi that day, sir, can I ask, what exactly are you looking at?"

"Iseyi? You mean that middle-aged man? His name is Iseyi?"

"Yes, that's him. His name is very long, and the last short name is Ise Yi."

Jiang Gezi stood up from the floor, picked up a cigarette on one side of the table, and handed one to Fangejule, but Fangejule refused, Jiang Gezi lit it himself, took a deep breath and asked bluntly: "Tell me, I know You didn't just come to say goodbye to me today."

Fan Gejule was completely helpless when he heard the words. None of these words followed his script, so he could only smile wryly: "You have already seen that I have other purposes~ right?"

Jiang Gezi nodded frankly: "Well, tell me."

Jiang Gezi agreed to listen, but Fan Gejule was a little embarrassed. He actually had a set of prepared lines, but his lines were not prepared for the first-class passengers.

Follow the old formula:

"...Actually, a long, long time ago, I was also born in a family with an aristocratic background. At that time, I had no worries about food and clothing, and I was dissolute... After a long time, I gradually felt that life was boring..."

Uh, the above words are of no use to the gentleman in front of me, are they?It's inappropriate to talk about family background and have no worries about food and clothing, but it's even more inappropriate to let go of such a big fish...

Fan Gejule did not receive any good education. He thought for a long time before complimenting him: "Sir, I just felt that when you saw Mr. Iseyi on the top floor that day, there was sympathy in your eyes. ..."

Have you sympathized with yourself?Jiang Gezi was surprised when he heard this: "I sympathize?"

Fan Gejule said to himself, and affirmed: "Yes! Sir, I am deeply moved by the fact that you don't know compassion on your face..."

Jiang Gezi's expression was distorted for an instant, and the mustache under his nose was shaking up and down.

He just wanted to get in touch with that guy, and wanted to get in touch with the Foji Aili people, so he was merciful?He is not Guanyin of the South China Sea, but he also saves all living beings.

Seeing Jiang Gezi's expression of disapproval, Fan Gejule forcibly pulled the main line and said, "Yes, sir, you are merciful and don't know it. Have you ever felt this way when you wake up one morning and find that what you own is so boring? , Every day is like someone else's, like a dream, you are like living in someone else's house, you are always uneasy in your heart, and there is a powerful force that goes through your body, but there is no place to vent, there is a The voice keeps telling you that when you come to this world, there must be a place to go, and that is the right path for you..."

Jiang Gezi exhaled a puff of smoke, chuckled, and said, "That's true, I have it! It's not sometimes, I think like this every day..."

Fan Gejule was overjoyed, he said loudly: "Really!"

Jiang Gezi nodded resolutely: "Of course!"

"That would be great!"

Fan Gejule carefully took out a tin silver box with shiny skin from his trousers pocket, and he handed it to Jiang Gezi and said:

"Sir, I firmly believe that if you don't want to be mediocre in your life, you must have a great goal. As a human being, there are people who are confused. When people are at a loss, they have to look for answers. If you need help, don't worry. , I don't mean material help, but spiritual..."

He pointed to his head with his fingers, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "Go forward from Mamerobi in the south, there is a place called Songmeirobi, there is a great temple, and there is a real god waiting With your arrival, please believe that everything is fate, destined fate, and the fate you deserve! It is also your blessing, sir~ believe me, everyone there can answer all your puzzles, all your questions Puzzled!"

After Fangejule said this, he patted Jiang Gezi on the shoulder as if he had given him some kindness, and then he left, taking the bag of fruit he brought with him.

After he left, Jiang Gezi bared her teeth, opened the tin silver box, took out a metal card inside, and looked at the words on it over and over again, thinking.

The card was engraved with Pangegal's name and the number 72.

Qian Baorui closed the door, came to Jiang Gezi's bedroom and asked, "Sir, this man~ what purpose does he have?"

Jiang Gezi blinked his eyes, raised his four eyebrows on his face a few times, and said, "Ghost knows, maybe he is a follower of the Marsh Spirit Sect? Or a leader of other sects. In short, you think of him as a pyramid scheme. OK."

"MLM?"

"Uh~ You don't need to know about this, it's not good for you, go call them back, we're leaving..."

"Ok sir."

In mid-July, the airship Yiling finally landed in the city of Mameirobi in the south of Buddha's Ely.

Mame Robbie, the only place in the entire Buddha's Avery that can be called a city... It's not so much a city, it's better to say that it's more like a refugee camp in a third world country, or even worse than a refugee camp.

Landing on the ground, the sky is a muddy color, and there is not even a little green here. The houses are put together by the mud, like the graves of the poor after death. This is it~ Anyway, it also has buildings. The human beings here There is a roof to shelter.

And the most respectable building in this city is a post office built with simple boards, which is the only channel connecting Buddha's gatha Eli with the outside world.

As for the others, the basic buildings of the city in the concept of alien humans, such as government offices, police stations, hospitals... There is no country in this place, so how can there be those derivatives.

Jiang Gezi and the others disembarked from the airship in the evening, and Jiang Gezi's strange feeling became even stronger as soon as he came into contact with the Buddhist scripture Ai Li.

In this place, the sky is dry, the ground is dry, and the air is dry. Its dryness makes every skin cell feel extremely thirsty once it comes into contact with the air here.

That kind of state that if the lips are not licked, the moisture can be taken away by the outside air at any time, and the state will be dry and cracked immediately.

But it's not hot either, not as hot as Earth's Africa is, it's just dry, unexpectedly dry.

It is dry during the day and cold at night. People are like staying in an isolated container surrounded by desiccant.

As soon as Jiang Gezi stepped on the ground, he clearly felt that the land under his feet was separated from the mother body of the Gael continent, or in other words, this place was like a transplanted organ, although it was connected with Gael's flesh and blood. , but nervous.

He looked around, licked his dry lips, and someone handed him a water glass.Jiang Gezi took it, opened the lid and drank it with his head up.

He is so thirsty now, inexplicably thirsty.

And Mr. Mao Jian, who hadn't seen him for a long time, complained and muttered: "This place is really not built by people. I admire the people here to death. How did they survive... Uh, sorry sir."

He found that Jiang Gezi was looking at him with a strange look.

Out of the sensitivity of small animals, Mao Jian immediately jumped into Jiang Gezi's ear and whispered to please Jiang Gezi: "Anyway, please forgive me! Sir, there is a reason why I don't return home at night~ Really! I swear to the mother god , I socialized with that surnamed Chen, and then~ I took a private job for us..."

He winked at Jiang Gezi and said: "It's the kind of private work you think of. They have attached two supply vehicles to our convoy, with a load of [-] tons. When we arrive at Lihong Valley in the north, someone will pay with gems ..."

Seeing Jiang Gezi still squinting at him, Mao Jian said in a slightly anxious voice, "Isn't this bad, sir? Go to the place without wind and waves, if I didn't lose so much in the casino, they wouldn't look for me anymore. The whole world knows that I am red-eyed, so I can't wait to go out and rob! Believe me, I am more familiar with everything here, and those people... Now, we only need to worry about the bastards of the guards. This matter~ I am the best gone."

He raised his cuffs, and his little sprout carefully sprouted a green bud there, and shook it for a while, probably feeling that the air outside was dry, and it frightened back.

A smile appeared on Jiang Gezi's face involuntarily. You must know that seeing green is a pleasant surprise and a luxury in a place full of earth-colored eyes like Foji Aili.

Poor Mr. Mao Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and took the water bottle that Qian Baorui handed him.

Jiang Gezi asked, "Are you sure it's them?"

"...Of course sir, I'm sure it's those guys. As for the Songmeirobi people you mentioned just now, cough...I think...you can ignore it completely. You know that the rich and poor in this world The spiritual world of the poor class is the same, one is for survival, the other is for eternal life, only the middle class is busy and has no time to think about it, such as the place of Buddha's Avery, I think it can produce a heretical religion every day, what do you think ?”

Believers of the Mother Earth Goddess are actually not very noble, and they see others as heretics.

"What did you say? Tell you that no matter how much you lose, I won't ask someone to reimburse you for this matter?"

Maojian spat out a mouthful of precious water, and Jiang Gezi moved back a bit.

He thought, I know shit!If I had known, I wouldn't have tolerated that guy in Pangejule in every possible way.

A group of open-top Panneng trucks came from a distance and stopped at the border between the camp and the airship. At least one or two hundred strong men in khaki uniforms with guns on their backs jumped out of the trucks and closed the airship gate tightly. surrounded.

Li Dou came out of nowhere, and whispered, "Whoever has a gun in this place has the final say. Tomorrow, let's go back and apply to His Majesty to occupy this place! Your Highness, you can send me here to follow Other places in Kyushu can't compare with it, just the Buddhist verse Ai Li..."

However, before he finished speaking, Jiang Gezi sarcastically said, "What are you doing here?"

Li Dou was stunned when he heard the words. He looked around and thought, yes, what am I doing here?Feed these hungry people who want to eat people?

There is nothing here, even the guards stationed here, they are just a private army formed with the intervention and support of the old jewelry company to prevent the gemstones of Buddha's katha Eli from flowing out of the country.

These people are themselves outlaws, either from Liberty Lane, or local villains.

To the outside world, this organization is called the International Federation of Defense Guards. However, all sober people know that this guard is just a private motley army. Metal outflows hit the world financial markets.

What they don't like the most is that the Buddha's Eli is unified and has all the rights of his own, even though two-thirds of them are Buddha's Eli.

A huge steel pedal landed on the ground, and a burst of dust rose from the dry land of Foji Aili. The largest comprehensive castle locomotive of the organizing committee slowly drove out of the airship... The guards rushed up and began to conduct a thorough inspection .

Jiang Gezi and the others saw that the guy named Chen Runping got off the front car with a smile on his face and talked to the person in charge, but the person in charge pushed him away unceremoniously. Chen Runping staggered and was beaten by people around him. He held him up, and walked over with a smile on his face... After going back and forth, someone finally had a bad temper and hit him heavily on the face with the butt of a gun. Chen Runping fell to the ground with his face covered in blood.

Some organizing committee officials ran out and protested loudly to the guards...

And Jiang Gezi and the others just watched numbly.

Qian Baorui pulled Jiang Gezi's sleeve with his finger: "Sir, I asked the chief dispatcher that our castle car will land at 10:30 in the evening. Before that, we can go to the rest area at the entrance of the camp to stay temporarily, or ~Shall we return to the airship?"

The sound of mechanical rhythms, quarrels, the smell of cheap diesel-powered cars, and the mixed smell of people sweating without taking a shower all year round filled the whole world.

All the smells were disgusting, but to Jiang Gezi, these smells were surprisingly familiar, especially the smell of diesel engines, which he hadn't smelled for many years.

He waved his hand indifferently and said: "Then go to the rest area, I can't bear it now, what can I do in the future?"

In this way, he led his group of ineffective team members towards a place tens of meters away, covered by a black cloth, and marched towards a narrow passage drawn by iron nets.

There was a gunshot behind him, but Mao Jian said, "Don't look back, hurry up! They told me that there are conflicts between the organizing committee and the escort team every time there is a competition...it's none of our business."

They quickened their pace, and the moment they entered the passage, an indescribable stench hit their nostrils... Jiang Gezi retched a few times, and then he saw clearly that the world on the other side of the black cloth was nothing Unobstructed...

Those Aili people who don't touch their bodies lie numbly on the iron net... They try to get close to this world, even if they don't have a little extra flesh on their bodies, they still want to squeeze themselves into these nets inside……

And this is the real Buddhist gatha Ai Li.
