The Second Immortal Road

This is a mortal city built on the hillside. The sky is gray. The land of an oasis is full of wind, sand and rocks, and in the dim smoke and dust, collapsed peaks and broken houses can be seen.

In the distance, it was covered with gray, completely sunken in the wind and sand, making it impossible to see where the road is.

In the hazy wind and sand, sporadic figures are faintly trudging hard, all with chapped lips, and dry cracks on the palms, the cracks are full of dry dirt, deep in the flesh.

Such people are no longer in the minority, the whole land spans hundreds of thousands of miles, and they are everywhere. They all tried their best to head east, although most of them don’t know what the east is waiting for them. , It is hope, or complete despair!

A slender figure dressed in coarse cloth and blue clothes, like other mortals who couldn't see clearly in the hazy wind and sand, gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and worked hard to move forward step by step. She can't look up. The wind and sand like a knife may penetrate the rag covering the face and scratch her face. Although her face is not pierced by bombs in the past, it is already covered with traces of ‘sand’.

The woman in coarse cloth and blue clothes carried a package on her back and held one in her hand. Although she herself suffered all the time in this kind of wind and sand, she tried her best to help the ‘package’ on her back and in her arms to block the wind and sand.

"Mother concubine, how long will it take to find the father and the others? Ling'er wants to drink lotus seed soup!" A weak voice came from the coarse cloth woman's arms and asked a question that she had been asking for two months. Inside the wrapped package turned out to be a little girl, and she was only six or seven years old to hear her immature voice, maybe even younger.

"Ling'er, coming soon, coming soon, we have arrived in the country of Wu, and we should be here in a few days!" The coarse cloth woman turned her head back a bit, moved her chapped lips, and said laboriously, her voice also quite weak. .

It's a pity that the wind and sand were too great, and the woman's words were only spoken, and then she was blown behind her back. The little girl only listened to it.

"Yeah!" There was another sound from the package in her arms, and she was quiet again. Perhaps the woman had been deceived for a long time, and the little girl also knew that the woman was just comforting. In fact, this one The road has no end.

Gently patted the "wrap" in her arms, the woman lifted her feet again, against the wind and sand, and walked eastward, but when she raised her head and looked forward, she was stunned. She seemed to see something. Things are majestic and towering, like a giant mountain standing between the sky and the earth!

The woman suddenly realized something, she hurriedly tore off the rag covering her face, put one hand in front of her forehead, looked forward hard, and finally determined that this was not an illusion. In the hazy wind and sand, it was too high and wide enough to be seen. The endless wall, although dim, is not an illusion.

Struggling all the way, the incredibly strong woman in blue and coarse cloth suddenly collapsed, kneeling directly on the ground, crying up to the sky, crying silently, no matter how much sand was filled in her mouth, "Your Majesty, the concubine has lived up to his death, with The little prince is here!"

The woman in coarse cloth and blue clothes only cried for a while, and then immediately got up, holding the package in her arms, exhausted her last strength, staggered towards the huge city a hundred miles away. At the same time, many other mortals around her also discovered the giant city in the distance, and suddenly found hope, all of them went crazy and seemed to go there.

Many of these people are from extraordinary backgrounds, some are royal families of a country, some are martial arts sects, and some are well-kept famous families, and so on, they are all mundane and powerful generations. But now, they are all tattered beggars, desperately rushing towards the giant city over there.

Before the woman rushed to the giant city, she discovered that there were already many people outside the giant city that looked like a mountain.

The sand under the city wall has been weakened a lot, and a little hazy. The woman looked over and found that there were as many as tens of thousands of people. As for the invisible sand, are there more people? unknown.

These people of various origins are guarding outside the giant city wall, wailing everywhere. They are people who cannot accept the reality. They cannot accept it. Traveling east for so long, how many life and death crises have been spent, and so much effort. Too many, the result is that "no token, no qualification" is not allowed to enter here?

This rule is for everyone, no matter the origin, what kind of heavenly imperial nobleman, or some peerless master, or the family leader, without tokens, no one is allowed to enter, and the violators are dead!

What else can you do if you are not allowed inside? There are thousands of miles of wind and sand here, should they let them go back? Going again, there are tens of thousands of people in this area alone, and it's overwhelming. Maybe it's not bad to go out with a chance!

The woman in blue and coarse cloth walked forward laboriously, and finally found a stone palace more than a dozen miles away, about a hundred meters tall, taller than the palace where she lived before, but the overall structure is not as exquisite as the palace!

After struggling to inquire, women know that they need tokens to enter this huge city. As for what tokens look like, there is no fixed number. There have been various tokens, and some people have taken out a piece of it but it’s not amazing. The stone was used as a token for three people, and some took out a token, which also served as a token, which could bring in twenty people, and others took out a dim yellow talisman. It is also regarded as a token.

Outside the stone hall, there is a special monument with various tokens hanging on it. It is an example for the mortals who rushed here to tell us about what can be regarded as tokens and what can not be regarded as tokens!

The woman in coarse cloth and blue clothes stood over a hundred feet long and browsed the nearly 10,000 kinds of'creatives' hanging on them one by one, but her heart became colder and colder. These tokens are too weird, and there are all kinds of tokens. She wrote densely packed rags, and a kind of tattered boots, she didn't have any of them!

When she saw a blue waist card, her heart trembled suddenly. She knew this token, and her majesty also had one. It was very similar. It was said to be a heritage of the royal family. Her majesty regarded it as a treasure. Wear it with you.

It's a pity that the world is in chaos, and they have left their own country and can no longer cover the sky with one hand. This blue waist card, along with the royal family team, along with her majesty, and ninety-nine percent of the royal family members, fell in a horse thief interception. Kill.

In that horse thief interception, only she and Ling'er survived the entire royal caravan, and the emperor's favorite Yaoer was the one on her back!

The woman continued to look down, little by little, and finally saw a familiar thing again. It was a talisman, which was very similar to the treasure of her home country. She saw it once when she was young. It's a pity that the treasure of this town won't be in the hands of her princess, who is just a small and dear princess.

Further down, she didn't see anything familiar, they were all extremely strange things, she had never seen anything!

She wanted to explain to the adults in the stone temple that they actually had tokens, but she was lost by an accident, but she did not dare to hear from people around them that people in the stone temple only recognize tokens, not people, if they dare to entangle more Just a few words, kill it directly.

Unwilling to give up back and forth, after reading the huge list of tokens more than ten times, the woman finally became discouraged and sat on the ground. Looking back on the past, she felt a little fuzzy. A matter of years.

The once extremely graceful imperial concubine, beautifully clothed and jade-like food, is now reduced to a first-order beggar woman. The ordinary meals that were dismissed before have become delicacies and delicacies, which is completely shocking.

"Mother concubine, Ling'er is hungry!" A weak voice came from the package in her arms again.

The woman sitting on the ground in disregard of her image heard the voice in her arms, and then she suddenly recovered, lowered her head, holding the little girl wrapped in the broad coarse cloth in her arms, and said with a strong smile: "Ling My son is waiting, the concubine will help you find something to eat!"

Although this huge city is not allowed to enter, it will distribute a portion of food and water to everyone, enough for half a month to survive, and it can be regarded as a way out for the desperate. Go back the same way and get through the wind and sand, where to go back and forth!

And this food and water can only receive one portion. The woman had patronized looking for tokens before, and there was no time to get the food and water. It is not too late to go now.

I walked to the stone hall with difficulty, reported it, and then a piece of food was thrown in front of her. It was not bad. They were all soft big white steamed buns. After she released the little guy in her arms, the little guy went for a while. Gobbled it up and was choked several times.

If it were placed a few years ago, the little guy would definitely not want to eat this kind of steamed buns, but now she has eaten wild vegetables that are more difficult to swallow than it is, and then holding the thin-noodled steamed buns is naturally a good thing. .

The little prince behind him was also released at this time, happily holding a steamed bun that was half the size of his small head, swallowing, not knowing what he was thinking.

When the woman saw the joyful appearance of the two children, there was a trace of sadness in her heart. If there is no token, then she can't get in and go back the same way? Where to go back? Original country? It's totally unrealistic. If you can't get into the city, you will definitely die.

The future is gloomy and desperate, and it's not just them, these people outside the city are like this, who didn't come here after all the hardships, but now, it's all empty!

"Mother concubine, a big mountain, higher than the walls of the palace!" At this time, the little girl filled her stomach a little, and finally noticed the huge black mountain-like wall behind her, and then said excitedly: "Mother concubine , Are we here, father, brother, they are waiting for us behind the mountain!"

The little prince also raised his head at this time, looking at the woman expectantly.

"It's not here yet, but it's coming soon, Ling'er, Huan'er, don't worry!" The woman was taken aback, and then she comforted her bitterly.

"It's not here yet!" The little girl's tone was a little low, and the little prince lowered his head, but didn't say much, but silently swallowed the buns, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, the woman saw a red thread on the little prince’s neck, and there was a glimmer of hope in her heart. She remembered that the emperor liked this little son the most, and when the moon was full, she gave a long life lock carved from the finest jade. .

Although gold, silver, money and the like are not at all useful now, maybe you can use this exquisite jade to bribe the people in the stone palace to get some places to enter the giant city. Thinking of this, the woman immediately got up and gently hugged He picked up the little prince, opened his collar, and saw the jade lock that was the size of a child's fist.

It is really a piece of fine jade, without any flaws, even she can’t help but admire her accustomed to jade decorations. It can only be regarded as a better-looking stone!

Picking up the two little guys again, the woman inflated herself, and finally chose to walk into the stone temple. She wanted to bribe the exquisite jade to the adult in it. After all, this jade is not like an ordinary yellow and white thing. Still quite attractive!

"Exhausted wood-attribute spiritual material waste!" A Taoist wearing a yellow Taoist robe glanced at the beautiful jade with a slight tuck between his eyebrows, and then said like this. It's related, count it as a token!"

"A token, is this a token?" The woman was so shocked that she couldn't believe it, and then her face was full of ecstasy, and she immediately thanked her, "Thank you, sir, thank you!"

"But this is just scrap, it doesn't have a deep relationship. According to the rules, you can barely count as two people. You have three in total. Choose two. After you are elected, those who want to enter the city go to the apse, and the rest leave. Here." The Taoist spoke indifferently, and then stopped paying attention to the woman.

"Only two?" The woman was stunned when she heard the words, and then she smiled immediately: "Look, adults, they are all half-elder children, under the age of seven, they should be considered half-person, adults can do it. Okay, let us all go in!"

"You can be half a person when you are young? There is no such rule here!" The Taoist said coldly, and refused without emotion.

"But they are all children of my relatives. How do I want the little woman to choose? The palms and backs of the hands are all meat!" The woman pleaded, and then put down the two children, kneeling directly on the ground, repeatedly screaming "please" Adults, let us all go in!" The two children were forced to kneel down~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to pray together.

When the three people bowed, the Taoist priest did not have any pity, but frowned, and said coldly: "This token allows two people to enter, and you still want to enter three. Is this when the rules here are nothing?"

"There are so many people outside. If I make the first move this time, what's the next one? Do you want to show kindness? Then do you want me to put everyone in again?" The Taoist slanted his eyebrows, "Hurry up and choose. After Banzhuxiang, the ones that are not selected will be rolled together, and don't even want to go in!"

"Also, if you hear a little crying, let's get out of here too!" The Taoist added coldly.

As soon as the Taoist said this, the woman dared not be begging, she resisted sobbing and looked at the Taoist in front of him pitifully, only to find that the Taoist was totally lazy to take care of him, and she just looked at it on her own. This ancient book.

Time passed bit by bit, getting closer and closer to Banzhuxiang, and the woman finally realized that the Taoist priest was as cold as iron, and it was impossible to be moved. Children.

One is a direct daughter, her only child, and the other is a sister's son. She still remembers the scene where her sister finally handed the little prince into her hands and held a knife to stop the chasing soldiers.

How to choose this is difficult to choose. If it is possible, she would rather not go in by herself, and only let two children in, but how the two children can survive on their own, after all, there is no one on the other side of the'mountain'. Father!

After wandering between the two children for a while, the woman finally half-kneeled on the ground, holding the little girl in her arms, crying, and forcibly squeezing out a smile: "Ling'er, wait here. A-niang, A-niang and brother have gone in, they will come out soon!"

The Taoist priest just glanced at this side coldly, then turned his head again.
