Kanba

"Sister, is there really a heart tree by the river?"

"Yeah, I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, but it was far away and I couldn't touch it. Now that I have a long pole, I think I can get it."

A seven or eight-year-old child tightly held the slender elder sister in front of him, his big eyes were full of curiosity and excitement.

Lianxinmu is a treasure of heaven, material and earth. It is used by practitioners. It can be used as a material for refining weapons and talismans. It can be exchanged for ten low-grade spirit stones, which is enough to maintain half a year for ordinary people to live for half a year.

Elder Sister is dark and thin, and the only thing that stands out is her eyes, which are not stained with dust, giving people the impression that they are like a mirror, and they can clearly see their own appearance from her pupils.

When they came to the pool, they saw Su Yue who was wet all over.

"Two mortals..."

Although the cultivation base has been sealed, but the consciousness is still there. Su Yue knew the background of the two at a glance, but he was a little surprised. There are still mortals in Zixia City?

The Earth Immortal Realm is the world of practitioners. Although this mortal exists, it is the first time Su Yue has seen it. There are no mortals in the small Tianfeng City. How could there be mortals in such a big Zixia City?

But this is his wrong thinking. If a practitioner practices, his offspring can generally practice, but there is always a meaning. If there is no talent, he can only be a mortal. If he is in a family, he will be defeated immediately if he cannot practice. A side branch, if the heir's heir is not able to practice, then he will become a handyman, and he is not even counted as a side branch.

This is the reality of the family. After all, the resources of the family are limited, so there is no reason to raise a useless mortal.

In this way, the number of mortals gradually increased, and most of them were eliminated from those big families. In small places like Tianfeng City, the only family that can be called a family is the Zheng family, which is still a low-level family. In ancient times, of course it is impossible to have the talent of cultivation, but Zixia City is different. There are three major families in this city, which have been passed down for hundreds of years, and there are always some mortals.As we all know, the ability of mortals to reproduce is much stronger than that of practitioners. Dual cultivators may not have children for hundreds of thousands of years.

And the more mortals, the more they want their offspring to practice, and then they can transform themselves out of slavery, but this is not a simple matter. It is difficult for even one practitioner out of 1 mortals. How can there be such good luck, so The more mortals are born, the more disappointed they are. From generation to generation, there will be a group of mortals at the bottom of Zixia City.

They have their own world, which is indistinguishable from the human world, but life is generally difficult. After all, the currency of the transaction is still the spirit stone, and it takes a lot of effort for practitioners to get the spirit stone, not to mention the mortals, who are almost hungry and full.

The siblings, probably just such mortals, luckily found Lianxinmu and wanted to exchange it for spirit stones.

"Sister!"

The boy let out a cry of surprise, and hugged Sister's arm, with fear and anger in his eyes.

Lian Xinmu was discovered by Auntie, now that someone is here, they must have discovered Lian Xinmu, maybe they have already arrived first, it feels very uncomfortable to lose hope.

"You, what do you want..."

The girl is also a little scared. She is more knowledgeable than her younger brother. Although the person in front of her is embarrassed, she puts a lot of pressure on her. She knows that the person in front of her is also a practitioner. If Lian Xinmu is seen by a practitioner, she will definitely be taken Walk.

What she was worried about was not this, but whether this cultivator would kill their siblings in order to deceive others. This kind of thing happened endlessly, and no practitioner would care about killing a mortal.

"Don't be afraid."

Su Yue said gently, but he knew that the sister and brother had misunderstood, and he hadn't noticed it yet.

It's just that the two of them are still cowering, like quails.

Su Yue could only smile wryly, and took out dozens of low-grade spirit stones from the storage ring. The eyes of the siblings were immediately attracted by the spirit stones.

"Look, I have so many spirit stones, I don't like the one that connects the heart."

The younger brother was a little excited, but the older sister shook her head. How could a practitioner dislike having so many spirit stones.

Su Yue hesitated, took out another middle-grade spirit stone, and said.

"Now you believe it."

The boy didn't know the difference between this spirit stone and other spirit stones, it was just a little bit bigger, but the elder sister opened her eyes wide. She had seen middle-grade spirit stones, which were equivalent to the value of a thousand low-grade spirit stones. Practitioners who can have such a "huge sum of money" must look down on the Lianxinmu.

"I have a few questions for you, and I will reward you if you answer truthfully."

Seeing that the girl believed it, Su Yue took four or five out of the pile of low-grade spirit stones and pushed them towards the siblings.

"What direction is this in Zixia City?"

Just now, he ran for his life and panicked, and Su Yue didn't know where he was.

The girl was stunned, she didn't expect it to be such a simple question, but the spirit stone was right in front of her eyes, she couldn't help but swallow her mouth temptingly.

"This is Coal Mountain."

"Coal Mountain?"

Su Yue frowned, where is this, I've never heard of it.

"It is the place where the coal is transported, sent to the valley, and thrown into the fiery furnace."

The boy couldn't help but rushed to say.

Su Yue dialed four or five spirit stones and continued to ask.

"Guli, where is it? What is a fiery furnace?"

Seeing that Su Yue was gentle and attracted by the spirit stone, the boy was no longer afraid, and said without waiting for sister to answer.

"A valley is a valley, and the furnace of fire is a big fire pit..."

Hearing these childish words, sister covered her brother's mouth and said.

"The valley is the Valley of Sword Casting, and the furnace of raging fire is the fire vein of Sword Casting Valley. It is exposed, and countless coals are put into it every day to increase the temperature of the fire."

"Sword Forging Valley!"

Su Yue's expression froze, and then he regained his composure. He didn't expect to come here by mistake.

He knew about Sword Forging Valley. The place where the ancestor of the Bo family practiced was Sword Forging Valley. He didn't expect that there was such a big fire vein in Sword Forging Valley. It sounded like an exposed volcano, but the fire vein was blazing hot. Yes, why invest a lot of coal again?

What does the Poteng cloud need such a high temperature?

Su Yue was very puzzled, but he also understood the situation. This coal mountain is probably a mine for digging coal. There are probably many mortals like these two siblings. After all, transporting coal is impossible for practitioners to do it. There are enough mortals No problem at all.

"Do you know why so much coal is invested?"

Although he knew that the siblings were unlikely to know the inside story, Su Yue still asked.

They really shook their heads, the girl said.

"Transporting coal has been going on for several years. We only came here last year. We can manage one meal a day, and there is a monthly case of a spirit stone every month. It's just that under layers of exploitation, one piece becomes Half a piece, there is only one spirit stone in two months."

The boy's red eyes are very aggrieved.

"They bully our siblings, we are helpless, let alone spirit stones, every meal is snatched by someone..."

The girl felt the same way, but she still pulled her younger brother into her arms and didn't let him speak, for he was afraid that he would offend the practitioner.

Su Yue was not unhappy, but had a little sympathy. He pushed dozens of low-grade spirit stones to the two of them, hoping to improve their environment.

As for the middle-grade spirit stones, it is not good, because it is a crime to conceive Bi, if the siblings have middle-grade spirit stones, then it will definitely cause a catastrophe.

"Where do you live?"

Su Yue asked.

"It's in the coal mountains."

"Can you take me there to live for a while, these spirit stones will be considered as rent."

The girl wondered why the high-ranking practitioner lived in a slum, but she didn't dare to refuse, let alone so many spirit stones, so she said right away.

"Of course, it's just that our place is simple..."

She lowered her head in embarrassment.

Su Yue shook his head and didn't care, what's so simple?At the beginning, he had never experienced any hardship in the human world. The current situation of the siblings makes people feel sympathetic, but it is incomparable to the pain he has endured, so he only sympathizes a little, but he has no thought of changing their feelings. destiny.

Destiny is in your own hands, and you have to fight for it. It is useless to be wronged blindly.

If the siblings can be self-motivated, with the dozens of spirit stones presented by Su Yue, there may not be no chance of becoming a master, because Su Yue scanned through his spiritual sense and found that both of them have the talent for cultivation, and their aptitude , not too bad...

The girl was still a little shy, and said timidly in embarrassment.

"That heart tree..."

Su Yue frowned.

"I have given you so many spirit stones, which have already surpassed the value of Lianxinmu, why worry about it?"

The girl bit her lip and said.

"The spirit stone you gave us is a charity. We shouldn't have wanted it, but my brother is still young, and he needs this spirit stone to survive... and I discovered the Lianxinmu. The reason why I brought my brother here is because I hope to exchange spirit stones by myself and support myself, because our life should not be just charity..."

When the voice fell, Su Yue fell silent, and after a long time sighed and stopped talking.

Our life should not be just charity...

What a sister, what a blessed younger brother, with such a sister, even if it's just begging, it's worth it.

So under Su Yue's eyes, the siblings started to move, the long bamboo poles were stretched out, hooked on Lianxinmu, and were about to pull it out, but the distance was too far and the roots were too deep, she couldn't do anything, the boy went up Help, the siblings were exhausted and out of breath. After struggling for two hours, the sun was about to set before they got the heartwood, but the roots were damaged, so the value had to be discounted, but the siblings The smiles revealed were clearly very satisfied, far happier than when Su Yue gave them the Lingshi.

"Let's go now."

Su Yue was a little moved. If he could, he would help the siblings, not for anything else, just for a word, our life should not be just charity.

Meishan is really dilapidated, there are no houses, only shacks that cannot be sheltered by wind and rain, black cinders are everywhere, and the smell is everywhere. The siblings shuttled around the edge of the shack, and came to the most dilapidated, even the four sides leaked. Beside the thatched cottage...

The people who live in the shack are all adults, and the two children can only build the thatched hut by hand. Although it is more dilapidated and more crumbling, it is impressive to enter it. The house is bare, but it is clean, with a faint smell Herbal fragrance.
