Chapter 453 The Red Dust Tribulation Has Just Begun
"Huan'er, your father is ill. Only if you become a saint can his illness be cured."
A Niang squatted down and said earnestly: "Our family is too poor, and A Niang is not in good health. Only your father can work and has to support your brother. Only if you are chosen as the saint to serve the gods, can we get land and live a stable life."
"I don't want to be a saint..."
Youhuang stubbornly refused. She didn't know which era this saint was from, but she just had a bad feeling.
The smile on A Niang's face completely disappeared, and she said in a deep voice: "If you don't become a saint, our family can't support two children, so we can only sell you to a rich man as a slave."
"I would rather be a slave than a saint..." You Huang said uncontrollably, "I heard others say that when a saint grows up, she is either skinned and made into a drum, or made into a magical instrument to be offered before a Buddha statue. She doesn't serve the gods at all."
"You..." Ah Niang's expression became even uglier, and she warned, "What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful of being punished by heaven."
"As a slave, I can still see the blue sky, the green grass, and hear the sound of the wind." Some words came out of Youhuang's mouth automatically, just like when she was swept into the ancient battlefield by the turbulence of time, and someone was controlling her body.
Youhuang was a little dazed. She seemed to be herself and not herself now, with confusion and bewilderment in her eyes.
"Neither the sky, the grass, nor the sound of the wind can make our life easier." A-niang said earnestly, "Huan'er, this family can only rely on you."
"Who should I count on?" A cold voice came out of You Huang's mouth, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and he said sarcastically: "I count on you to secretly give me a bite of food, I count on your man to whip me less, or I count on your stupid son to become smart one day."
Snapped……
The mother raised her hand and gave her daughter a loud slap.
Youhuang covered his hurt cheek speechlessly. After hearing these words, he finally realized that this was the memory of the female ghost.
I didn't expect her childhood to be so unfortunate. She was exploited by her family and forced to participate in the election of the Saint. From the previous words, we can guess that being a Saint is not an easy job.
Youhuang thought of Ajie's drum and the living flesh lotus. Everything in front of him was just a guess. The truth must not be simple if it could make a ghost obsessed for more than 100,000 years. He just didn't know how the female ghost would react after being slapped.
The scene changed, and a gorgeous carriage appeared in front of the wooden house by the lake.
Youhuang stared at the carriage for a long time without coming to his senses. Isn't this the carriage that took the old nun away? He didn't expect it to appear in this era.
Looking at the person who got off the carriage, Youhuang was even more shocked. It was the old Taoist nun from her youth. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and wore a Taoist crown intricately crafted and inlaid with gems. She didn't even look at An Niang, but her eyes fell directly on Youhuang, no, Huan'er.
Xiang Xuehai looked at the girl in front of him who was staring at him unscrupulously with a hint of disdain in her eyes, and suddenly became interested and said, "Come with me, I can let you wear new clothes, eat delicious food, go to school to learn to read, or do what you like."
"Nothing good comes for nothing." Huan'er asked generously, "What price do I have to pay to get these things?"
"We will give your family a piece of land, as well as money and clothing..."
"That's the deal between you and them." Huan'er interrupted, "I'm asking about the deal between you and me."
"Of course I will obey the instructions and become a qualified saint." Xiang Xuehai answered with a smile. Facing the old Taoist nun who was full of calculations when she was young, You Huang found it difficult to accept for a moment, and then he heard Huan'er say: "What conditions must a qualified saint meet?"
"The first condition is to maintain a pure virgin body." Xiang Xuehai squatted down with satisfaction, staring into Huan'er's eyes and said: "Secondly, you must study hard and try to pass the monthly assessments to avoid being eliminated; the third and most important point is to have spiritual roots."
"Spiritual roots?"
The corners of Youhuang's mouth rose uncontrollably.
If You Huang didn't know that this was a world that existed for tens of thousands of years, he would have thought that he was possessed by a ghost.
Xiang Xuehai smiled and said, "If you don't have spiritual roots, you will be eliminated directly, and the things I just mentioned will not be available to you."
"What will happen after you are eliminated?" Huan'er asked with a hint of hope. Xiang Xuehai smiled and said, "You can only be a servant and serve the candidates for the saints with spiritual roots until you die of old age."
"Do you have any other questions?" Xiang Xuehai asked.
"No."
"Get in the car."
You Huang got on the carriage passively.
There was incense burning in the carriage, and Youhuang immediately covered his mouth and nose with his hands.
This time it had nothing to do with Huan'er, but Youhuang smelled something wrong with the fragrance, so he covered his mouth and nose with his hands and held his breath secretly.
"what's wrong?"
Seeing Youhuang's actions, Xiangxuehai asked with some surprise.
You Huang brushed it away with her hand: "The incense is too strong and a bit choking, can I open the window to get some fresh air?"
Sure enough, every step was a trap. Youhuang was still sighing when the scene in front of him changed again. In a magnificent palace, nearly a hundred girls of similar age were listening to the class attentively.
Except for Youhuang, everyone was listening attentively. They never dreamed that they would have to go to school and do homework every day when they entered the fantasy world. This made her full of resentment every day, but she had to complete the assigned tasks. Fortunately, Huan'er had average learning ability and her grades were always in the middle and lower levels, sometimes even on the edge of passing.
Youhuang held on tightly at first, and after a while he got used to it, but he didn't know that reality had turned upside down.
On the Jade Palace.
Lu Shutong huddled in the corner like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to move.
"Why do you have to go against me?" Xue Zun took a deep breath and said, "I gave her the token to let her skip the Immortal Gate election so that she could avoid the Jedi. But you insisted on letting her participate in the Immortal Gate election for the sake of face. If she hadn't met Lord Cangyuan, she would have died in the Jedi."
"I..." Lu Shutong wanted to refute, but after taking a look at Xue Zun's expression, he chose to remain silent.
"I asked her to stay in seclusion at Jueqing Peak for three years to prevent her from going to the Jedi. But you sent her directly there. Now she is trapped in the illusion. If she is not careful, she may lose her life. Who can tell me what the black ball used to collect flames is made of?"
Lu Shutong, who was about to refute, lost his confidence after hearing the last sentence. After a while, he said cautiously: "Why not call everyone over and think of a way to remedy the situation together? We can't let her sleep forever."
"This is her tribulation, no one can help her." Xue Zun sighed.
"What kind of robbery?"
Lu Shutong asked in confusion, being able to successfully come to the world of cultivation means that the calamity in the mortal world has ended, and there will be no more calamity before ascending to immortality.
Looking at You Huang who was in deep sleep, Xue Zun said calmly: "I thought that she had severed ties with her family in the human world, and her earthly tribulation was over. I didn't expect that her earthly tribulation had just begun."
