Chapter 1042 The Land of Suffering
Zoroastrianism, ranked twelfth in the 72 prefectures, centered on Fireland Valley, and the surrounding area is tens of millions of kilometers, all of which are the territory of Zoroastrianism.
Generally speaking, the common people and loose cultivators living under the rule of the Martial Sect are relatively lucky, because with the protection of the Martial Sect, they can not be invaded by foreign enemies, and can have a relatively stable living and practicing environment.
But after arriving at the territory of the Zoroastrian Cult, what Su Chen saw and heard was not the same thing.
The residents here are haggard, poor, and suffering visible to the naked eye.
The number of casual cultivators is very small, and the cultivators with a little bit of strength are all wearing fire pattern robes, representing the status of disciples of the Fire Worship Cult.
Within the scope of a sect's strength, there will be no shortage of casual cultivators, because the threshold for recruiting disciples in the sect is very high, it is impossible to recruit only a cultivator to the sect, and there will definitely be some soil for the survival of casual cultivators.
But in the territory of Zoroastrianism, casual cultivators are extremely rare.
Except for the disciples of the Fire Worship Cult, they are ordinary people.
This kind of layout, one can tell something is wrong.
This means that there is no environmental soil that can accommodate the survival of casual repairers.
Although this doesn't mean anything, but a place where casual cultivators are unwilling to come can easily explain some problems.
Walking on the seemingly bustling street, but there are almost no customers in the shops on both sides. Some vendors and passers-by are also listless. Many young people gather in the streets and alleys to play and play, and some are even drunk. He fell directly to the corner and fell asleep.
Everywhere is filled with a dying smell.
Su Chen originally planned to go to restaurants and restaurants to find information, but it was already noon, and there were hardly any customers in the restaurant, but there were quite a few stalls selling cheap barbecue on the side of the road.
The stalls sell the most common meat, without the slightest aura.
Another place with the hottest business is the wine shop. A wine gourd is filled with two catties of turbid wine. The price is also extremely cheap, but naturally it smells like no wine, and the quality is very poor.
"The people of the Zoroastrian Cult are actually so poor? It would be unbelievable if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes."
Even A Ke was a little surprised. This is Lingshan Jingzhou. The resources of the world are extremely rich. One person should be at least a little hardworking, and it is not a problem to feed a large family. , In fact, it is not worth much.
Moreover, this is a place close to the Valley of Fire, which belongs to the Zoroastrian Cult's rule area but not the central area. They have already shown such a desolate situation, so wouldn't the outside environment be even worse.
A Ke even saw a skinny old man lying down in an alley, completely ignored.
This scene made A Ke feel unimaginable.
Even Su Chen was a little surprised.
You told me that this place is the realm of cultivating immortals?
Purgatory on earth is almost the same!
Although it is a bit exaggerated to say so, judging by the standards of Lingshan Jingzhou, it is not too much to call this place a purgatory on earth.
The strength of the Xianxia Sect is much behind that of the Fire Worship Sect, but even ordinary people living in the most marginal areas of the Xianxia Sect do not need to consider the issue of food and clothing at all. As long as they work hard and save some money to buy elixir to help them practice, It is also very easy.
But among the people here, few of them have aura fluctuations.
After careful observation, Su Chen found something was wrong.
These people seem to be poisoned!
Su Chen walked to an alley by the side of the road. There were a few unkempt children squatting in the alley, sitting together, sharing a piece of dried unknown animal meat, which smelled of a strong stench. But the children seem to have already adapted to this kind of food, eating with relish.
"Ahem..."
A little girl suddenly coughed violently, and the cough was mixed with red and black blood.
"Sister, are you okay?" A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy hurriedly patted the little girl's back, his face was full of worry, but his face was full of helpless self-blame and frustration.
The little girl suppressed the pain and swallowed back the blood froth in her mouth, forced a smile and said: "Brother, I'm fine, I can't eat anymore, you can eat my portion too."
The boy was about to speak when he suddenly saw Su Chen walking into the alley. He immediately showed vigilance and protected the little girl behind him. At the same time, he pulled out an extremely sharp dagger from his waist and held it high. Dagger shouted: "Don't come here!"
The other boys reacted a little slowly, but they also hurriedly swallowed the food in their mouths, drew out their daggers and weapons, and formed a human wall, blocking Su Chen's way.
Su Chen looked at the brilliance in the gray eyes of these boys, and his heart was a little moved.
In an instant, a gentle majesty blew through the alley.
The cool and comfortable majesty, mixed with the spiritual mist like rain, made the boys look surprised, and Su Chen's smile like a spring breeze made them let go of their guard and hostility, and put down their weapons.
Su Chen took out a pile of fresh spirit meat from the storage ring, and then took out a elixir, and delivered it to the boy.
"Give it to your sister, it can help her cure."
"Elixir!"
The boy immediately knew that the person who came was a cultivator!
But she hesitated for a while, wondering if she should give this unknown elixir to her sister.
Seeing his sister's extremely haggard and pale face, the boy finally made up his mind and fed the elixir to his sister.
The elixir that Su Chen took out was ordinary. Although the healing effect could not be as shocking as the in situ resurrection card, it was still enough to cure a mortal girl.
After the girl took the elixir, her complexion began to return to rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her energy and energy continued to rise. She was completely dissatisfied with her sick appearance just now. Obviously famished.
With a snap of Su Chen's fingers, a flame attached to the spirit flesh, instantly cooking the spirit flesh.
"Let's eat."
Su Chen said, and flicked his fingers again, he cut the roasted meat into evenly sized pieces, distributed them to several children, and took a bottle of pure spirit liquid for no one.
The children had never eaten such delicious soul meat, and they were a little cautious at first, but soon they wolfed down recklessly.
In less than five minutes, I ate and drank, not a single drop was left.
"Plop!"
The big boy suddenly knelt down to Su Chen: "Thank you, Immortal, for your kindness and compassion!"
Su Chen waved his hand, and a gentle force helped the boy up.
"I'm not an immortal, just an ordinary immortal cultivator."
Smiling slightly, after easing the atmosphere, Su Chen asked, "Little brother, let me ask you a few questions, and you answer me truthfully."
"The immortal just asks."
