Big Bodhi [The Great Enlightenment] - Chapter 601

[Chapter 578 Guessing]

Princess Lanyu’s tone became slightly colder: “It’s clear that you said that just now, since the source body is here, I can’t get out of trouble easily, how can I blame it now?”

Ji Yue said in a young voice: “When I say ‘the source body is there’, I mean that we are not really like mortal creatures, but it is not for you to use a sharp knife to verify this matter. In any case, when you go to Zezhou Fucheng After that, make plans.”

Princess Lanyu snorted coldly and said: “Then I ask you, Yaojing is clearly a realm for cultivating, why do I fall into an illusion?”

“Then why are you so determined ? , this must be an illusion?”

Ji Yuenian shook his head, “According to my speculation, this is likely to be a real world, where the time and space are distorted to the extreme. As for the mystery of Yaojing, wait for me. When you leave this world, you will see for yourself.” After

saying this, he leaned against the door frame of the carriage again, closed his eyes gently, and fell into silence.

Princess Lanyu in the other carriage also gradually became quiet.

…

bang!

I don’t know how long it took, the bumpy carriage finally stopped on the side of the road, and there was a hustle and bustle of noise from outside the carriage, which was extremely noisy.

“Come down!” The

curtain of the carriage was lifted by a tall slave, and he glared fiercely at the people who were bound with hemp ropes in these carriages, his tone was quite impatient, “If you don’t want to be whipped, then quickly climb down for Laozi! ”

Ji Yuenian was tied to the edge of the door frame, the hemp rope on his ankle was untied by the tall slave, and he got off the carriage first.

After that, a full eight teenagers with different bone ages filed out, with tight ropes tied to their hands, unable to break free at all.

Although the hemp ropes on the ankles were all untied, no one wanted to escape.

Surrounding the two carriages were more than ten burly men, many of whom were holding whips with barbs in their hands. There were two gloomy-looking armored guards beside the “Master Zhao”. The long sword he was holding shone with an icy cold light.

At the same time, the curtain of the carriage that Princess Lanyu was in was also lifted, and several girls stepped off the carriage one after another, including two girls under ten years old.

Ji Yuenian looked around, and he had a vague idea of the current situation in his heart.

This is an extremely prosperous market, with people coming and going, and there are soldiers in armour passing by from time to time, but no one cares about these slaves who are bound here.

Even if there were occasional stoppers, they looked at Ji Yuenian and others as if they were looking at a piece of goods. After asking the price, they walked away hesitantly.

Obviously, the head of Zhao’s family is very dark-hearted, and he has already made up his mind to sell these young girls at a high price.

“All stand up for Lao Tzu!”

A tall and strong slave walked over viciously, shoving and shoving the teenagers into a line, looking extremely impatient.

Ji Yuenian’s hands were tied by hemp ropes in front of him, and he stood there without saying a word, staring coldly at this noisy market, but his thoughts were surging deep in his heart.

Every living person in front of me does not seem fake, the emotions emanating from these creatures are extremely real, and the world here is clearly not an illusion!

In this way, what is the truth of the Yaojing world? !

Suddenly, a lightning bolt flashed across his mind, Ji Yuenian’s pupils shrank slightly, and he thought of a terrifying guess.

“Is it really like this…”

“If the truth is as I thought, then this white jade butterfly is really too scary…”

Thinking of this, Ji Yuenian turned his head to the side and looked at a few feet away. Princess Lanyu outside.

Princess Lanyu seemed to feel something, and she also raised her eyes to look at Ji Yuenian, and said with her heart: “Looking at your expression, does it mean that you already have a clue?”

Ji Yuenian nodded lightly and said: ” I had a guess just now, but I can’t be completely sure.”

Princess Lanyu said, “I also have a guess, and I also need to verify it. When I have a clue, I will let you know.

” At the time of the sound, the market was already surrounded by a lot of people, and many eyes were on these young girls, as if they were choosing what they liked.

Among the crowd, a Qing Jun scholar in a robe came out more and more, with a dignified expression, and said to the Zhao Dang family: “Dare to ask this yao, where did these slaves come from?”

The Zhao Dang family looked a little worried . , took out two old yellow papers from his

sleeves , and said, “What are you asking about? I have the approval of the state government, and slaves can be sold no matter where they are!” Said: “Half a day ago, the three villages and towns in the west of Zezhou Mansion were looted by horse bandits, but the mansion soldiers didn’t find any child’s body. Have you all been divided up from the horse bandits by you gangsters?”

“What a bunch of nonsense!” Zhao Dangjia’s expression was a little panic. Although he had the approval to sell slaves, his fornication with the horse bandits was a serious crime of beheading. “You are lying here, what evidence is there?

” , and two extremely gorgeous carriages stopped here one after the other.

Dang Zhao’s eyes lit up, and he didn’t care about wrangling with the scribe. He even brought two guards up to meet him, nodding his head and saying, “Do you want to come down and take a look at the official?”

“What official! Blind your dog’s eyes! A

maid in a green dress spat at him fiercely, turned her head and lifted the silk curtain of the carriage, “Young madam, be careful.”

Surrounded by several maids, a young woman dressed in luxurious clothes The man stepped out of the carriage, his eyes like autumn water swept over all the slaves, and said softly: “Nah, let me ask you, if I buy all of these slaves, how much money?”

The master Zhao was overjoyed, and bowed his body and said, “If Madam…”

“Hold on!” The robe scribe came up and bowed to the young woman, “This lady, you should come first and then come later, I have just arrived. I saw two slaves and just wanted to pay.”

The green-clothed maid reprimanded, “Do you know what our young lady’s identity is, how dare you…” The

young woman raised her hand and interrupted. The green-clothed maid glanced at the long-robed scribe, and said, “Which two slaves are you looking for?” The long-   robed

scribe tapped twice from the crowd and said, “It’s these two.” After hesitating, after thinking for a moment, he said, “Since you came first, I don’t want   to

bully you. So, that girl belongs to me, and the boy belongs to you. How good is it?”

, said: “Then thank the madam.”

After finishing his words, he walked to the master Zhao standing on the side, took out a heavy ingot of snowflake silver from his sleeve, put it in the palm of the master Zhao’s hand, and whispered: “Silver The goods are finished.”

Zhao Dang’s family stared blankly at the silver taels in his hand, and only after a few breaths did he react, and subconsciously said, “A slave only needs three taels of silver, but this fellow gave me a full twenty taels of silver. , did you lose your head?”

When he looked up again, the robe scribe had already disappeared into the crowd with the slave he had just chosen, and he was nowhere to be seen again.

“The young man he took away is not very human. If you calculate it carefully, fifty taels of silver can’t be beaten,” the young woman smiled, “The fangs, who followed behind the carriage with all the slaves, stayed when they arrived. Zezhou Governor’s House, I will settle the bill with you.” After saying

this, she turned around and got on the carriage, and lowered the silk curtain again.

Zhao Dang’s family responded hastily, and then urged the slaves to stand up one by one, follow the carriage, and head towards the Zezhou Governor’s House.
