You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 359: Where is there food in the wasteland?

Yang Zile stared at Zuo Chen's face for several breaths. His mind froze. He wanted to say something, but all the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't squeeze out a single word.

Until finally, this young man who looked a little decadent suddenly let out a strange cry and took several steps back in horror.

He knocked over the table behind him, causing things to scatter all over the floor. His feet slipped and he fell to the ground with a thump.

Yang Zile fell and cried out in pain, but he seemed to realize something immediately and quickly covered his mouth.

I always feel that if I continue to yell like this, it will not be a good thing.

Zuo Chen had a smile on his face:

"Young man, are you planning to build a boat and go out to sea?"

"Yes...ah, no, no, I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense! I don't plan to go out to sea!"

Yang Zile immediately denied his statement.

If other people knew that a sinner like him was building a ship, he would surely be tied up and taken to the square by those nobles.

By then, the bonfire will be set up under his feet, and he will be roasted to death by the flames!
Moreover, Yang Zile had no idea who the person in front of him was.

His clothes were obviously not something that the people in the city could afford, and were almost the same as those worn by the nobles. However, he still had hair, and he was wearing a strange thing that was tied to his hair.

I don't know what this thing is used for.

Zuo Chen looked at the frightened young man and chuckled, then slowly squatted beside Yang Zile and said:
"Don't panic. I am not in the same group as the monks in the square just now. I am here to help you."

"Help."

"Yes, I can take you away from here, and maybe even get everyone in the entire city to leave." Zuo Chen said, "The prerequisite is that you have to tell me about this continent. Why do you live here? What do those monks do?"

Yang Zile swallowed, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

He didn't believe the words "I can take you away" at all, but there was a strange feeling about the man in front of him, which seemed to make him trust him.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Zile felt that if he really didn't speak up, the other person might just slap him in the face and take his life.

So Yang Zile simply curled up into a ball:
"Master, I will try my best to answer you, but you must know that I am just a flat-headed boy after all, and I don't know much. If you are not satisfied, please don't hurt me!"

"Don't worry. I'm a good person!"

Zuo Chen patted his chest seriously and promised.

good man?
Yang Zile gave an awkward smile.

If you are a good person, why would you sneak into my house?

……

Yang Zile finally introduced this continent to Zuo Chen.

When Zuo Chen heard about the paradise and the Buddha who could see the future clearly, his brows twitched slightly, and he thought of the future enlightened one among the three enlightened ones. And when he heard that this place was called a prison, Zuo Chen's expression became somewhat strange.

This set of rhetoric almost coincides with Zuo Chen’s Buddhism in his previous life.

In previous lives, Buddhism always liked to use this method to lobby ordinary civilians and rely on it to consolidate its own politics. I didn't expect that it would be the same on this gray continent.

Gathering his scattered thoughts, Zuo Chen asked again:

"If this city is a prison, then why are these monks here?"

After hearing this, Yang Zile explained, "Because there is the Land of Sorrow in the center of this city."

"What is that?"

"That is a huge crack. Our entire city is built around it." Yang Zile said, "It is said that one can see one's past and present lives through the crack. The nobles all go to the crack to practice to improve their strength. After the practice, they will leave by car and go to the Pure Land of Bliss."

Zuo Chen nodded in understanding.

It seems that this Land of Sorrow is the mirror of the future that I am looking for.

Fellow Daoist Sanjue still couldn't bear to destroy this place.

"How many people are there in your city? How many cities are there on this continent?"

"We are the only city around here, at least as far as I know. As for how many people there are... Master, you are putting me in a difficult position. How can I go door to door to check for people?"

Yang Zile showed a bitter expression on his face:
"Some of the collapsed houses near the city wall have only one person in them, while others have seven or eight people including children. Even if I check every house one by one, I still can't tell how many people live in them."

Zuo Chen stroked his chin and began to think.

He really wanted to wave his sleeves and take the entire city away.

But now there's a problem.

First of all, once he uses a Taoist method of such a large scale, the Three Awakenings will definitely notice it, and then the huge waves of the sea of ​​suffering will surely hit him directly.

It is said that Zuo Chen had to deal with a large number of enemies in the sea of ​​suffering while carrying a city in his arms.

Even Sanjue might take action personally.

That's really like dancing with shackles.

Secondly, what if there are other cities on this continent?
After I kicked one away, I found that there were other ordinary people in this place. If I didn't have time to rescue them, was I just going to watch them being swallowed by the sea of ​​suffering?
Although his moral integrity would not be damaged due to failure to save people, he would still feel unhappy.

Now that you have seen it, try your best to save it.

After thinking about it for a while, Zuo Chen felt that he still had to go to the Earth of Sorrow to take a look first.

If he could first obtain his future body and further improve his Taoism, Zuo Chen would be more confident in handling these matters. "Um... Master, are you hungry? How about I prepare something for you to eat?"

Yang Zile spoke nervously.

Staring at the young man in front of him who was still uneasy, Zuo Chen suddenly laughed:

"What can you eat here?"

"I……"

Yang Zile's words were stuck in his throat.

What can you eat?
He didn't have much good stuff at home, so he spent a lot of his savings to buy a chicken.

Fortunately, most people in the city dare not commit crimes, otherwise Yang Zile would definitely raise chickens in the basement.

With the arrival of such a great master, he couldn't kill the chicken, so he could only take out the salted eggs that he had pickled with great difficulty, and pair them with some gray steamed buns.

He usually couldn't bear to eat the salted egg, so he would first poke a hole in the middle with an iron rod, pour out the oil inside and eat it, then pass a cotton thread through the middle of the salted egg, rub it back and forth a few times, and eat it with the steamed bun after dipping it in salt water.

Normally, this would be a feast that he would have to eat if he found something good. Now, he picked out a whole salted egg for this master. The master should be... satisfied...

Looking at his expression, Zuo Chen knew that there was probably nothing worth looking forward to in terms of food on this continent, so he simply smiled and took out something from his palm.

A hard ball of dirt immediately appeared in the palm of his hand.

Yang Zile was a little stunned.

This big mound of earth is about the same size as the small treasures he usually picks up outside, but the old man in front of him seemed to have nothing in his hands just now, so how did he turn it out directly?
"This...what is this?"

“This is food.”

"food?"

Yang Zile was stunned for a moment.

So the upper class masters are living a worse life than him? Now they all have to eat dirt!

Zuo Chen could naturally see that the young man had misunderstood, so he simply put the big lump of dirt on the table and tapped it lightly with his fingers.

The entire lump of earth immediately split into two halves along the middle, revealing the lotus leaf wrapped inside.

After the lotus leaf opened, a fragrant aroma came directly to his face, and Yang Zile's saliva began to flow.

He stared at the things inside the earth shell and was shocked.

Isn't this a chicken?
This?
You just ate the whole chicken like this?! This is such a waste!

Seeing that Zuo Chen showed no signs of taking action, Yang Zile finally reacted.

He pointed at the chicken on the table in disbelief, then pointed at his nose.

Zuo Chen nodded.

Yang Zile suddenly became a little timid.

But the aroma of the meat eventually overwhelmed his spirit. Yang Zile didn't care about it anymore. He simply peeled off all the dirt and reached out to open the chicken.

He grimaced because of the scalding taste, but still stuffed the meat into his mouth with a silly smile. He ate until his face was covered in grease, and in the end he even ate the lotus leaf.

If Zuo Chen hadn't stopped him, Yang Zile would probably have scraped all the dirt off the beggar's chicken into his mouth.

After eating these things, Yang Zile looked at Zuo Chen with completely different eyes.

It was like looking at a real god.

He was personally feeling uneasy, as he wanted to kneel down to Zuo Chen but was not sure if this would offend him.

Zuo Chen smiled and waved his hand, indicating that Yang Zile should not worry about it.

This was something Zuo Chen fished out from a shop in the long river of history. He also left one or two taels of silver to the shop owner. It was like a remote shopping trip across time, and he got this beggar chicken.

In other words, this thing is real and will not disappear just because Zuo Chen cancels his skills.

"I need you to do something." Zuo Chen smiled as he looked at the young man who was bribed by the beggar chicken.

"Please speak."

"Go to the four corners of the city and find a place to post this thing."

As Zuo Chen spoke, he took out four talismans from his arms and placed them in Yang Zile's hands.

Yang Zile stared at the paper and found that he couldn't understand it at all.

But he still nodded and put all the things in his arms.

"Excuse me, sir, do you have any other instructions?"

Zuo Chen said with a smile:
"There is indeed something else."

"You say."

"Tell me the location of the Land of Sorrow. I plan to go take a look."

Yang Zile: “Hmm?”
