If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 118 The vast world is full of wonders!
Fortunately, the Master of Baihua Palace provided some necessary props.

For example, magic weapons, such as the ship needed for this voyage.

This ship was built by the Master of Baihua Palace after several years of effort. It can be regarded as a magic weapon, big or small.

It can be shrunk and stored on the body. When unfolded, it is about two feet long. Although it is not big, it is enough to carry three people.

After bidding farewell to everyone in Baihua Palace, Ding Xiu and the others strode towards the seaside.

Although it was more than ten miles away, it wouldn't take long for three people to travel.

Meng Longtan and Zhu Xiaolian were extremely looking forward to this trip, and were even a little excited.

Ding Xiu can completely understand their mood.

After all, the two of them had this adventure and suddenly transitioned from mortals to immortal cultivators. This was undoubtedly like a dream to them.

Now that I have the opportunity to go out to sea and experience some magical overseas customs, I feel a little excited, completely ignoring the dangers of this trip.

Fortunately, Ding Xiu has experienced strong winds and waves, so he has nothing to be afraid of.

After arriving at the beach, Ding Xiu took out the treasure ship, which was smaller than the size of his hand, and threw it into the sea. At the same time, he shouted: "Change!"

The small boat turned against the wind, and when it landed on the sea, it had turned into a large ship. There was a room-sized cabin in the middle of the ship, which was enough for Ding Xiu and the three of them to shelter from the wind and rain.

There is also a sail on the ship, but this sail only serves as a cover. Since it is a treasure ship for cultivators, how can it be powered by sails?
Of course you have to use your true energy.

There are exquisite mechanisms designed on the ship. As long as it is actuated by Zhenqi, the ship will travel at high speed, much faster than ordinary ships.

Next, the three of them alternately used their true energy to move the treasure ship forward. While the people rested, the ship kept moving.

Although we also encountered some sea monsters, wind and waves, etc., on the whole, we had no danger, which was beyond Ding Xiu's expectation.

All in all, this journey was much smoother than he imagined.

Another thing that makes Ding Xiu strange is that the entire journey is boundless by the sea, and he has never seen even a palm-sized island.

After sailing for almost ten days, finally, a long coastline appeared in front of us.

Meng Longtan couldn't help but perked up, and hurriedly walked out of the cabin and said, "That's great, I think the Rakshasa Kingdom will be on the shore."

Ding Xiu also walked to the bow of the ship and observed it for a while, then said: "It doesn't look like an island, but more like a large piece of land. Our direction is correct, we should be here."

After landing, Ding Xiu shrunk the treasure ship and put it away.

This is a mountainous area, which looks no different from the mountains and forests in the Central Plains.

After observing the environment for a while, the three of them walked through the mountains on foot.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and shines on the mountains and fields. The endless woods rise along the ridges like a green city wall.

The chirping of birds can be heard from time to time in the woods, making the entire mountain and wilderness full of life and vitality.

Bushes can also be seen everywhere, and lush and lush grass spreads on the hillside, spreading out like pieces of green silk.

Not far away, I saw a waterfall flying down the mountainside and falling into the pool below, splashing water all over the sky.

A blast of fresh, moist air hits your face, making you feel refreshed.

Meng Longtan was very happy: "After sailing on the sea for so many days, I finally have a pool where I can take a bath and relax."

Ding Xiu smiled and said, "Let's go and have a drink together."

Unexpectedly, before they reached the waterhole, there was a sound in the forest on the left. The sound was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that they were running in their direction.

"Hide first."

Ding Xiu gave a light drink, and then he and Meng Longtan hid behind a pile of rocks beside the pool.

After a while, seven or eight men ran out of the woods. All of them were in ragged clothes and had sallow complexions. Two of them were injured.

Then, several more people ran out of the woods.

These people looked like another group at first glance, all wearing leather armor and holding bright steel knives in their hands.

And these people have one thing in common: ugly!

And it's not just ugly, it's a completely deformed face.

The leading man must be a small leader. This guy's mouth is thick, long and warped. It looks like a pig's mouth, with two big teeth exposed at the corners of his mouth.

This reminded Ding Xiu of those bird people in Baihua Valley. It seemed that the race of people in this Rakshasa country was really weird.

"See where you are fleeing!"

The little leader yelled while chasing.

His accent is very similar to those of the birdmen. Although it is weird, it is still understandable.

Seeing this situation, Meng Longtan couldn't help but feel chivalrous in his heart, and whispered to Ding Xiu: "Brother Ding, do you want to deal with these guys?"

"Row!"

Ding Xiu also needed to find out the news from the locals, and now was the perfect opportunity.

So, the three of them suddenly rushed out.

The pursuers were so frightened that they all shouted: "Monster!"

Of course, the monsters they are talking about do not mean real monsters.In the Rakshasa Kingdom, ugliness is regarded as beauty. The more normal a person looks, the more abnormal they are in their eyes, as if they are monsters.

"Are you afraid?" The little leader waved his knife fiercely: "Those untouchables must have been bewitched by these three monsters. If we kill these three monsters, we can make a great contribution."

As soon as they heard that they had made meritorious service, several of their subordinates became excited. After all, there would be rewards for meritorious service.

Meng Longtan became angry, raised his hand and rubbed his nose, glanced at Ding Xiu and Zhu Xiaolian and said with a smile: "I never thought that our three Yushu Linfeng brothers would be regarded as monsters one day."

Zhu Xiaolian also smiled and said: "Haha, I finally understand today what the vast world is, and it contains all kinds of wonders."

At this time, the running men stopped and looked at Ding Xiu and the others with puzzled faces.

In their eyes, Ding Xiu and the other three were also very strange.

It's not that they look strange, because they all look pretty normal.But in the Rakshasa Kingdom, anyone who looks normal is either regarded as a monster, or is included in the ranks of untouchables and suffers bullying.

But Ding Xiu and the other two people were all red-faced and looked luxurious, and they were still in the mood to chat and laugh in front of a few soldiers holding steel knives in their hands?
The accent doesn't sound like someone from the Rakshasa Kingdom. Could it be that he came from somewhere else?

"kill!"

The little leader gave a fierce order, and then rushed forward, brandishing a knife, as if he was afraid that his subordinates would take away his credit.

As a result, the faster you rush, the faster you die!

Meng Longtan was the first to take action, kicking the little boss back more than ten feet and falling into the woods.

Such strength shocked those subordinates.

Before these men could regain their senses, Ding Xiu and Zhu Xiaolian also started to take action. They eliminated the pursuers in three moves.

Seeing how powerful Ding Xiu and the other two men were, the men who escaped felt a little afraid and knelt on the ground one by one.

Ding Xiu stepped forward and said in a gentle tone: "You don't have to be afraid, just get up."

Everyone was still kneeling and didn't dare to get up.

It wasn't until Zhu Xiaolian and Meng Longtan also stepped forward to offer some gentle words of persuasion that the men kowtowed repeatedly to express their gratitude and then stood up tremblingly.

A man in the middle bravely asked: "I wonder where the three gentlemen came from?"

"Oh, we are from the south." Ding Xiu responded smoothly.

"No wonder, you are not from the Rakshasa Kingdom..."

"Brother Da Zhuang, how about... let's leave here first?" The other man subconsciously glanced in the direction of the woods.

Obviously, he was worried that another pursuer would come.

Ding Xiu took the initiative: "Let's go, get out of here first."

After walking for a while, Ding Xiu saw the two injured men sweating coldly. He was afraid that they could no longer hold on any longer, so he said, "Stop for now. I'll take a look at their injuries."

The man named Da Zhuang was grateful and thanked him repeatedly.

Fortunately, both men had superficial injuries and were just a little weak from excessive blood loss.

Ding Xiu took out two thumb-sized elixirs and asked them to take them. As soon as the elixirs were taken into their mouths, the two men felt refreshed, their wounds no longer hurt, and their legs became stronger.

As a result, several men were even more grateful and in awe of Ding Xiu and the others.

Ding Xiu asked: "Why were those people chasing you before?"

Upon hearing this, Da Zhuang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is a long story..."

After all, the main reason is because of the unique national conditions of the Rakshasa Kingdom: turning ugliness into beauty!

Anyone who looks normal will be regarded as a monster.If the nobles were a little better, the worst they could do was stay in the deep mansion and not go out.

If ordinary people are not ugly, they will be in trouble. Not only will they be regarded as monsters, but they will also be classified as untouchables and allowed to be bullied.

In order to protect themselves, these untouchable people lived together in groups, forming villages called "untouchable villages" one after another.

The village where Da Zhuang is located is such a pariah village, with more than [-] people living in the village.

A few days ago, the government was quarrying stone in the nearby mountains and went to the village to requisition the villagers.

It was said to be expropriation, but in fact it was to arrest people by force. If they resisted at all, they would be severely beaten, and even the old and weak women in the village were beaten.

The villagers were unable to fight against the wolf-like officers and soldiers, and were eventually forced to go to the quarry to quarry stone.

After arriving at the quarry, they met an even more tragic fate.

The officers and soldiers guarding them did not regard them as human beings at all, and made them get up to work before dawn, and they had to work until dark.

That's fine. The key is that the people don't have enough to eat at all. They only have two meals a day, and they are worse than pig food.

If someone is injured or sick, don't expect to rest. Those guys will beat you hard with a whip and accuse you of pretending to be sick.

Every day, people died of unbearable torture, and the guards simply threw the bodies outside without even bothering to bury them.

While talking, Da Zhuang could not help but cry: "We really couldn't bear it anymore, so we escaped while the guards were not paying attention.

In the end, we were discovered by them and chased them all the way. More than a dozen of us escaped, and now only a few of us are left..."

Zhu Xiaolian couldn't help but said angrily: "These people are so heartless that they are worse than pigs and dogs!"

Ding Xiu sighed and said: "This is not surprising. This Rakshasa Kingdom itself is a place where right and wrong are confused and right and wrong are not distinguished. As the saying goes, ugly people tend to do mischief..."

"Yes, yes! It's just ugly people who tend to cause mischief!" Meng Longtan echoed repeatedly.

"By the way, have you ever seen such a person..."

Ding Xiu took out a painting, which showed the images of the birdmen in the Palace of Flowers.

When he saw this painting, Da Zhuang could not help but turn pale and said with a trembling voice: "Devils, they are man-eating devils..."

"A man-eating devil?"

"Yes..." After a lot of explanations from everyone and some questioning by Ding Xiu, he had a better understanding of this strange country called Rakshasa Kingdom.

In the Rakshasa Kingdom, as long as you are ugly enough, so ugly that you cry ghosts and gods, you will be respected by others, and you may even be directly appointed as an official in the court.

Even if you don’t know a single Chinese character.

On the contrary, if you have good facial features, you will not be able to become an official no matter how talented you are. If you have a good family background and a better situation, at least you will have family protection.

Of course, there are very few such people. For the sake of their own reputation, most families will regard disciples with good features as heretics and kick them out, leaving them to fend for themselves.

In fact, those birdmen are not monsters, but a natural human race. The strange thing is that no one in this race has ever had regular facial features, they all look like birdmen.

Moreover, this race is cruel and bloodthirsty by nature, and even likes to eat people.

At first, this bird-human race became a noble of the Rakshasa Kingdom by virtue of their peculiar appearance.

These birdmen take pleasure in killing untouchables, and often organize so-called hunting operations to kill innocent people. They don't count the killings, but even feed them in various ways.

Such atrocities finally aroused the dissatisfaction of other nobles.

These nobles are not sympathetic to the people. The problem is that those birdmen keep killing the people. If they kill all the people, who will do the work for them?Who else could they bully?
As a result, a group of nobles joined forces to deal with the bird people, including the royal family.

Naturally, the Birdmen would not surrender, and the two sides launched a melee that lasted for many years.

Later, the bird people were finally outnumbered and abandoned their own territory and began to wander around.

Ding Xiu asked about the time in detail. The time when those birdmen were wandering around was almost the same as the time when they first harassed the Baihua Palace.

It seems that a group of bird people accidentally broke into the boundary of the mural world when they were fleeing. After that, they rushed over one after another, trying to dominate the world.

After the inquiry was almost finished, Ding Xiu said: "You should go back first. It is best to take the villagers to the mountains to hide first."

Da Zhuang and others left with great gratitude.

As soon as he left, Meng Longtan couldn't help but frown and said: "Brother Ding, it seems that these birdmen are difficult to deal with."

Ding Xiu smiled: "If they were easy to deal with, the Rakshasa Kingdom would have destroyed them long ago. I think they should have a secret place to live."

Zhu Xiaolian was a little discouraged and said: "The Rakshasa Kingdom can't be eliminated even with all the strength of the country. I'm afraid it will be even harder for the three of us."

Ding Xiu smiled and said: "It all depends on man-made things. The reason why the Rakshasa Kingdom cannot be destroyed may be due to internal disputes. We might as well add some fire..."

"To add fuel to the fire?"

"Yes! But before that, let's do another thing first."

Inside the quarry.

Because someone escaped, the guards gathered all the workers and beat them wildly. At this time, three people suddenly came to the quarry.

Once they saw the momentum of these three people, the guards did not dare to move rashly. The important thing was that in their eyes, these three people were simply "beautiful" beyond the sky.

Of course, whatever they think is beautiful must be ugly.

These three people are actually Ding Xiu, Zhu Xiaolian, and Meng Longtan.

However, they did not show their true colors now. Instead, they used their own cultivation to change the combination of facial muscles, causing the muscles to become distorted and completely transformed into a deformed person.

Especially Ding Xiu, his mouth was cleft to the base of his ears, his nostrils pointed upward, and a pillar of flesh protruded from half of his face, almost a finger long, and his ears were close to his face, making him look like an earless person.

The other half of his face was covered in pimples, like toads.

If you go to the Central Plains like this, you will definitely be burned alive as a monster.

But in the Rakshasa Kingdom, this appearance is not just beautiful, but noble. No one dares to look down upon you.

The uglier you are, the higher your status will be.

Therefore, the guards did not dare to neglect, thinking that someone from above was sent to patrol, so they stepped forward one by one to pay respects.

Ding Xiu stabbed and said: "Let everyone go."

"what?"

The leader of the team was stunned.

Ding Xiu once again ordered in a superior tone: "I order you to release everyone!"

The leader frowned and asked, "May I ask if your superior has a warrant?"

"Snapped!"

Ding Xiu slapped the guy hard, sending the guy flying into the air. Then he fell to the ground and moved, with blood flowing all over the ground.

"Who else dares to disobey the order?"

Ding Xiu gave a powerful shout.

All the men looked at each other, no one dared to say a word.

After all, the gun is the first bird.

Meng Longtan shouted to the people: "Okay, it's okay, you all go home."

All the people immediately kowtowed and thanked them repeatedly: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..."

A small leader still seemed to have doubts. After all, the people above were in urgent need of stones, so how could they let people go for no reason?
So, he glanced at several of his accomplices, and then a few stepped forward to ask Ding Xiu about the identities of the three of them.

But this time these guys were smarter and stayed farther away to avoid being slapped with death like before.

"Bold!"

Meng Longtan shouted loudly, rushed forward and kicked the little leader to the ground, then punched and kicked him.

At this moment, the guards also felt that something was wrong. If they were really sent from above, all they had to do was reveal their identities. Why would they attack them?

"Brothers, they must be pretending, everyone come together!"

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

The common people had long been holding back their grudges and took advantage of the chaos to rush up and attack the guards with shovels, sticks, and stones.

After killing all the guards, all the people fled.

Ding Xiu and the others did not leave, but waited here for the next group of people to arrive.

After all, if such a big thing happened, the government would definitely send troops to suppress it.

As expected, more than a thousand troops rushed to the quarry site the next day.Looking around, the quarry was in a mess, with the corpses of the previous guards lying on the ground.

The general leading the team was filled with murderous intent and immediately ordered the team to be divided into several groups to catch the people who escaped.

Unexpectedly, at this time, flying stones came from the sky. In an instant, hundreds of people were hit by stones and fell into a pool of blood.

"Enemy attack..."

"whole team!"

The scene became chaotic again.

Then everyone saw clearly that the person who attacked them turned out to be "Birdman".

Naturally, this was pretended by Ding Xiu and the other three in order to create chaos, divert hatred, and turn the blame on the Birdman clan.

After all, it is obviously impossible for the three of them to eliminate the bird people, and they can only rely on the official power of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

As long as both sides fall into chaos, it will be easy to fish in troubled waters.

Ding Xiu and the others did not come into direct contact with the officers and soldiers. Instead, they took advantage of the complex terrain in the quarry and kept attacking with stones.

The three men appeared alternately, sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west, making it difficult for the officers and soldiers to tell how many birdmen were hidden in the quarry.

At first, the officers and soldiers tried to encircle them, but they were beaten to pieces by the flying rocks.

Seeing that the team suffered heavy casualties, but not even a hair of the opponent was touched, the leading general gritted his teeth, raised his hand and ordered: "Withdraw, withdraw from the quarry first."

"call!"

At this time, a stone as big as the mouth of a bowl flew over and smashed his head into pieces of watermelon.

The group was leaderless and the situation became even more chaotic.

Those officers and soldiers fled on their own, only hating their parents for having two legs.

"Happy, hahaha!"

After everyone fled, Meng Longtan couldn't help laughing.

Ding Xiu also smiled and said: "These people will definitely make reports after returning, and the government will naturally put this account on someone else's head.

However, this is not enough, we have to make a bigger noise. "

"exactly……"

Meng Longtan and Zhu Xiaolian echoed in succession.

About seventy or eighty miles away from the quarry, there is a small county town.

There is a family named Luo in the city. The head of the family is named Luo Wude. He is fat, strong and ugly. His appearance is similar to that of Zhu Bajie. In short, he has a pig's head.

This guy was able to give birth and gave birth to eight daughters, all of whom looked similar to him. They all married into wealthy families in the capital.

Therefore, Luo Wude was so majestic that even when officials in the county saw him, they had to bow to him respectfully.

This guy was clever at plundering, bullying men and women, and he did all kinds of evil. His servants also pretended to be powerful, beating and scolding the people, and even beating them to death.

However, no one could do anything about Luo Wude, after all, all eight daughters were in power.

Some people once ran to the capital to complain, but were beaten to death on the streets of the capital.

Maybe he did too many bad things and received retribution.

On this day, Luo Wude was riding in a large sedan chair, surrounded by servants, heading to the outskirts of the city.

Unexpectedly, he was attacked by "birdmen" near the other courtyard. Luo Wude was torn apart and most of his servants were killed, with only a few lucky enough to escape.

In fact, it was Ding Xiu, Meng Longtan, and Zhu Xiaolian who took action.

But no one knew it was them. Naturally, the blame must be placed on those birdmen.

After that, Ding Xiu and the other two people walked all the way towards the capital, and along the way they occasionally committed murders involving "birdmen".

Of course, they selected people like Luo Wude, and they had to have a certain identity and status.

In this way, this class will unite with the same hatred and will not stop until they kill the birds.

Sure enough, this strategy had a great effect.

First of all, it caused a panic in the Rakshasa Kingdom. After all, the powerful people cherish their lives. They are afraid that one day those murders will fall on them.

Many ministers in the court also wrote letters, asking the court to mobilize a large force to encircle and suppress the bird people and restore peace to the world.
