The first thousand and thirty-six chapters are painted by the common people

This is a mortal city built against the mountain. The sky is gray. The original oasis is full of wind, sand and stones. It is hazy. Collapsed peaks and broken houses can be seen in the dim smoke and dust.

In the distance, it is covered in gray and completely trapped in the wind and sand, making people unable to see where the road is.

In the hazy wind and sand, scattered figures can be seen hiking hard, all of which are chapped lips and the palms are also full of cracks. The cracks are full of dry dirt and are deeply trapped in the flesh.

There are no fewer such people, all over the land, hundreds of thousands of miles, everywhere, all of whom tried their best to go east, although most of them didn't know what the East would be waiting for them, whether it was hope or complete despair!

A slender figure in a coarse blue dress, like other mortals who could not see clearly in the hazy wind and sand, gritted their teeth, lowered their heads, and walked forward step by step. She could not raise her head, as the wind and sand like a knife might penetrate the rag covering the face and scratch her face, although her face was no longer the traces of "wind and sand" that were blown back then.

The woman in blue cloth was carrying a package and holding a package in her hand. Although she had suffered so much in this kind of wind and sand, she tried her best to help the "package" behind her back and in her arms block the wind and sand.

"Mother, how long will it take to find my 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 I had been asking for for two months. It turned out that the wrapped package turned out to be a little girl. Her tender voice was only six or seven years old, and maybe even younger.

"Ling'er, it's almost, it's almost here. It's time to wait a few days!" The coarse cloth woman turned her head slightly, moved her chapped lips, and said with difficulty, her voice was quite weak.

Unfortunately, the wind and sand were too strong, so the woman said the words and was blown behind her back. The little girl only heard about it.

"Yeah!" A faint sound came from the package in my arms again, and it became quiet again. Perhaps after being deceived by the woman for a long time, the little girl also knew that the woman was just comforting her. In fact, there was no end to this road.

Gently patted the "package" in her arms, the woman raised her feet hard again, and walked eastward against the wind and sand. But when she looked forward again, she was stunned. She seemed to have seen something, majestic and tall, like a giant mountain standing between heaven and earth!

The woman suddenly realized something, and quickly pulled away the rag that covered her face, blocked her forehead with one hand, and looked forward with all her might. Finally, she confirmed that this was not an illusion. In the hazy wind and sand, the huge wall that was so high that it could not be seen at the top and wide that it had no end. Although it was hazy, it was not an illusion.

The woman in blue cloth, who was struggling all the way, suddenly collapsed, knelt on the ground, cried to the sky, and shed in silence, regardless of how much dust was poured into her mouth, "Your Majesty, I will not let my will down, and I will bring the little prince here!"

The woman in blue-clothed cloth cried for a while, then immediately got up, held the package in her arms, and used her last strength to stagger towards the vast city a hundred miles away. At the same time, many other mortals around her also discovered the huge city in the distance, and immediately found hope, and all went crazy and seemed to be heading there.

Many of these people have extraordinary origins, some are royal families in a country, some are martial arts sects, and some are hidden in famous families. They are all people with high power in the mundane world. But now, they are all ragged beggars, desperately rushing towards the giant city over there.

Before the woman arrived at the giant city, she found that there were already many people outside the giant city that looked like a mountain. They were all blocked outside the city wall, noisy and chaotic!

The wind and sand under the city walls had become much weaker and a little hazy. When the woman looked over, she found that there were tens of thousands of people. As for whether there were more people besides the invisible wind and sand, she didn't know.

These people of all kinds of origins are guarding outside the giant city walls, and there are wailing everywhere. They are all people who cannot accept reality. They cannot accept it. They have experienced so many life and death crises and paid so much. But when they come here, they are not allowed to enter, "If there is no token, you are not qualified."

This rule is for everyone. No matter the origin, the nobles, the peerless masters, or the head of a noble family, they are not allowed to enter without tokens, and all those who violate the violation will die!

What else can I do if I don’t enter? There are thousands of miles of wind and sand here. Can I let them walk back? Walk again, there are tens of thousands of people in this area alone, and it is very dark. Maybe one percent of them will go out alive!

The woman in blue cloth walked forward with difficulty and finally found a stone hall more than ten miles away, about a hundred feet away, which was taller than the palace she used to live in, but the overall structure was not as beautiful as the palace!

After exploring it hard, the woman knew that entering this giant city requires a token. As for what the token is, there is no fixed number. All kinds of tokens have been used. Some people took out a stone that is not astonishingly beautiful, and they acted as a token for three people. Some people took out a token, which also acted as a token, which could be brought in twenty people. Some people took out a dim yellow talisman, which also acted as a token.

Outside the stone hall, there is a special giant monument with various tokens hanging on it, which is an example for the mortals who arrived here, telling you what can be regarded as tokens and what cannot be regarded as!

The woman in blue cloth stood over a hundred feet long, browsing the nearly ten thousand kinds of "tokens" hanging on it one by one, but her heart was getting colder and colder. These tokens were too strange, all kinds of. There were even rags written with dense small characters, and a kind of tattered boots. She didn't have any of them on her body!

When she saw a blue waist card, her heart suddenly trembled. She knew this token, and her Majesty also had a piece, very similar. It is said to be a inheritance of the royal family. Her Majesty regards it as a treasure and wears it with her.

Unfortunately, the world was in chaos and left their own country and could no longer cover the sky with one hand. This blue waist card, along with the royal convoy, fell into a horse thief intercept and killing with her Majesty and 99% of the royal family members.

During the interception of the horse thief, the only ones who survived the entire royal convoy were she and Ling'er, as well as the emperor's favorite youngest son, the one on her back!

The woman continued to look down, looking bit by bit, and finally saw something familiar, which was a talisman, which was very similar to the treasure of her mother country. She saw it once when she was young, but unfortunately this treasure of the treasure would not be in the hands of her a mere marriage princess.

Further down, she saw nothing familiar, all of them were extremely strange things, she had never seen them!

She wanted to explain to the adults in the stone hall that they actually had tokens, but she was lost unexpectedly, but she didn't dare. She heard from the people around her that the people in the stone hall only recognized the tokens and did not recognize people. If they dared to bother with them, they would kill them directly.

After unwilling to give up, he looked at the token list more than ten times. The woman finally sat on the ground like a breath. When she thought about the past, she felt a little blurred. Now her mind was full of things that had happened in the years since she was traveling east.

The once extremely graceful imperial concubine, now she has become a first-class beggar woman. The ordinary food she used to disdain has become a delicacy, completely like a different life.

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

The woman sitting on the ground regardless of her image heard the sound in her arms, and then suddenly came to her senses, lowered her head, hugged the little girl wrapped in a large coarse cloth in her arms, and forced a smile: "Ling'er, wait, Mother, help you find food!"

Although this giant city is not allowed to enter, it will distribute food and water to everyone, which is enough to survive for more than half a month. It can be regarded as a way out for those who are desperate. Return the same way, survive the wind and sand, and go wherever you go!

The food and water can only be received by one person. The woman was looking for the token before, but she didn't have time to get the food and water. Now it's not too late.

After walking towards the stone palace with difficulty, after reporting, a portion of food was thrown in front of her. It was pretty good, all of them were soft white steamed buns. After she released the little guy in her arms, the little guy swallowed it voraciously and was choked several times.

If it were a few years ago, the little guy would definitely not want to eat this kind of steamed bun, but now she has eaten wild vegetables that are more difficult to swallow than the ones. She holds the thin steamed buns and will naturally be a good thing.

The little prince behind him was also released at this time, happily holding the steamed bun half as big as his little head, swallowing it in big mouthfuls, and didn't know what he was thinking.

When the woman saw her two children so happy, she felt a little sad. Without a token, she could not get in. She would return the same way? Where to go? The original country was completely unrealistic. If she could not get into the city, she would definitely die.

The future is dark, and the despair is at the end of the road, and it is not only them, but these people outside the city are like this. No one has come here after going through a lot of hardships, but now it is all empty!

"Mother, what a big mountain, higher than the city wall of the palace!" At this time, the little girl filled her stomach and finally noticed the huge black wall like a mountain behind her. Then she said excitedly: "Mother, are we here? Father, the emperor, and the emperor are waiting for us behind the mountain!"

The little prince also raised his head and looked at the woman with anticipation.

"It's not here yet, but it's almost here. Ling'er, don't worry!" The woman was stunned for a moment, and then comforted her with bitterness.

"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, just swallowing the steamed buns silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, the woman saw a red thread on the little prince's neck, and a glimmer of hope suddenly surged in her heart. She remembered that the emperor liked this little son the most, and when he was just over the moon, she gave him a long life lock carved into the best jade.

Although gold, silver, money and other things are not useful at all now, maybe using this top-quality jade to bribe the people in the stone hall to exchange for some places to enter the giant city. Thinking of this, the woman immediately stood up, gently picked up the little prince, opened his collar, and saw the jade lock that was only the size of a child's fist.

It was really a piece of super beautiful jade without any flaws. Even if she was used to jade decoration, she couldn't help but admire it. If it were put in the past, it would not be an exaggeration to replace it with tens of thousands of taels of yellow and white. Unfortunately, now it can only be regarded as a stone with a better appearance!

After picking up the two little guys again, the woman cheered herself up, and finally chose to walk into the stone hall. She wanted to bribe the best jade to the adults. After all, this jade does not look like an ordinary yellow and white thing, and it still looks quite good!

"Depleted wood-attributed spiritual material waste!" A Taoist priest in a yellow Taoist robe glanced at the beautiful jade, raised his eyebrows slightly, and spoke like this, then: "Although it has no use, it is considered a relationship with the world of immortal cultivation, so be considered a token!"

"Token, is this token?" The woman was so shocked that she couldn't believe it when she heard this. She immediately looked ecstatic on her face and immediately chased Xie and said, "Thank you, thank you sir!"

"But this is just waste. The relationship is not deep. According to the rules, you can barely count it as close as two people. There are three of you in total. Choose two. After selecting them, you will go to the back hall to go to the back hall and the rest will leave here." The Taoist priest said lightly, then stopped paying attention to the woman.

"Only two?" The woman was stunned when she heard this, and then immediately smiled and said with apologies: "Sir, they are still half-aged children, less than seven years old, so they should be considered half-person. You can do it, so let us all go in!"

"Are you half a person at a young age? There is no such rule here!" The Taoist priest said coldly, refusing without any emotion.

"But they are all my relatives' children. How can the little woman choose? The palms and backs of her hands are flesh!" The woman begged, then put down her two children, and actually knelt directly on the ground, bowing repeatedly, "Please, sir, let's all go in!" She also forced the two children to kneel down and pray together.

The Taoist priest not only felt pity when he knelt down, but instead frowned and said coldly: "This token is forced to let both of them enter. You still want to enter three more. Is this the rule here that nothing is there?"

"There are many people outside. If I set a precedent this time, what about the next one? Do you also have to show kindness? Then do you want me to put everyone in again?" The Taoist priest slanted his eyebrows, "Select quickly. After half a stick of incense, if you haven't selected it, get out together, don't even think about entering!"

"Also, if you hear a little more cry, get out together!" The Taoist priest added coldly.

As soon as the Taoist priest said this, the woman didn't dare to ask for anything. She held back her sobs and looked at the Taoist priest in front of her pitifully, but found that the Taoist priest was too lazy to pay attention to him, and just read the ancient book on his own.

Time passed by little by little, and half of the incense stick was getting closer and closer. The woman finally realized that the Taoist priest was as cold as iron, and it was impossible to be asked to move. She could only turn her head and look at the two children in front of her with hazy eyes.

One is her own daughter, her only child, and the other is her own sister's son. She still remembers the scene when her sister finally handed the little prince to her and used a knife to stop the pursuers.

It is difficult to choose any choice. If she can, she would rather not go in and only let two children go in. But how can two children survive by relying on themselves? After all, there is no father on the other side of the 'mountain'!

After wandering between the two children for a while, the woman finally half kneeled on the ground, hugged the little girl in her arms, cried, and forced her to smile: "Ling'er, wait for my grandmother here. My grandmother and my brother are in, and I will come out later!"

The Taoist priest just glanced here coldly and turned his head again.
