Immortal Mansion Royal Beast

"Damn it, the price has increased again?"

He Dayou stood in front of the door of Buzhuang, holding a few pieces of broken silver in his hand, looking angrily at the heated scene inside.

"It's really different every day. The price was not at this level two days ago. Why is it getting higher and higher? And the higher the price, the more people rush to buy it?"

He Dayou couldn't figure it out. Like him, there were many farmers who came after hearing the news.

"Coarse cloth has gone up, salt has gone up, and why hasn't it gone up? Oh, but the price of food remains at the original price. It's really unreasonable."

A group of honest farmers looked at the young girls and young wives crowding around to grab coarse cloth. Some laughed, while others were annoyed.

"When will this day end?"

He Dayou thought about the children at home and his wife's big belly, and his expression fell into sadness. During these days, prices on He's Fengxi Island have soared, and all the items needed for life have been slowly but surely increasing. rise.

At the beginning, everyone just thought it was normal, but now looking back, we realize that it was the beginning of everything.

"Why not let your wife give birth to a fairy seedling? Then you can eat whatever you want and wear whatever you want."

The man on the side joked teasingly. He Dayou was thinking about his wife, and there was a bit of hope in his eyes. He already has five children, and this is the sixth. If he can really create a fairy seedling, then his family will You will be able to live the life of a master immediately.

It's just that out of thousands of babies, it can't be said that one fairy seedling is guaranteed. There are only six of them, and the hope is very slim.

At this time, a young man ran over in a hurry and shouted to He Dayou:

"Uncle Dayou, the village chief asked me to call you back. Your wife was born prematurely."

He Dayou's vision went dark and he murmured:

"How could this happen? How could this happen? No, I have to go back quickly."

He Dayou turned around and ran away. Even though their village was far away from this town, He Dayou arrived at his home in half an hour.

Just as he entered the house, He Dayou saw his village chief carefully smiling in front of a young man.

When the man saw He Dayou, he turned his gaze. He Dayou instantly felt as if he had been stripped naked and thrown into the open space in the cold winter, and his whole body trembled.

This young man is a master!

He Dayou reacted instantly and was about to kneel down on the spot, but he just bent his knees and was lifted up.

"No need for that, today is your special day."

The young man's gentle voice stopped He Dayou. Seeing this, the village chief on the side immediately explained:

"This is Master He Xian, who has been ordered to check the qualifications of all babies born this year."

"The situation this year is different from before, so I gave birth a little earlier..."

Master He Xian looked happy at this moment, and then the cry of a baby came from the room.

After a while, the wiped baby was brought to Master He Xian. He took out a little blood from the baby's fingertips and put it into the soul-finding token.

The next breath, a blue light flashed through. Although it was weak, it was enough for people to see clearly.

"Medium grade water spirit root, congratulations."

Master He Xian first congratulated, and then said: "I brought this baby back. This is my personal reward for you. Someone will handle the matter later. Before that, please don't make any announcement."

He Dayou had no doubt that he was there. At this moment, his heart was filled with surprise. Looking at the few spiritual stones in his hand, He Dayou was thinking about the future. After his family got the fairy seedlings, they would be prosperous in the future.

After sending off the Immortal Master He, He Dayou and the village chief were still immersed in joy until another Immortal Master came over from the He family.

········

"In recent days, infant theft cases have occurred frequently in major families. They are suspected to be the work of black hands. The Royal Beast Sect and the Great Zhou Academy have jointly issued an early warning. If you see strange monks coming and going, report them all."

"The act of stealing babies is probably the Black Hand's revenge for Dazhou Academy's annihilation of Black Hand strongholds in various places last month. It is the consensus of all Tiefeng Island monks to attack the Black Hand."

"What an unexpected surprise. During the joint investigation, Dazhou Academy captured the long-awaited Jindan monk 'Yin Xuzi'. This man has committed many murders. This time he was arrested unexpectedly. The details are as follows..."

Fang Qingyuan frowned slightly and listened carefully to these announcements. As someone who personally witnessed the Great Zhou Academy's annihilation of the Black Hand's stronghold, he thought that the incident would just go away, but he did not expect such a follow-up.

This development also brought some inconvenience to Fang Qingyuan. Wherever he went recently, someone would check his identity. Although it was always solved with illusion, it also attracted the attention of the Da Zhou Academy.

Unless you have no contact with the monks here at all, it will be difficult to hide it from the eyes and ears of Da Zhou Academy.

There must be traces left behind. The people of Dazhou Academy are not useless people. As officials in this world, they have many means. Even the Jindan monks do not dare to show up at will after committing a crime.

"What are the people of Black Hand doing stealing these babies? Most of the qualifications of these immortal seedlings are only mid-to-high-grade, which is far different from the heavenly and earth-grade ones that were stolen in the past. After Black Hand is severely damaged, they need to cultivate these fairy seedlings to become the backbone. strength?"

Originally, Fang Qingyuan's perception of the Black Hand was okay, but after this large-scale baby theft case, Fang Qingyuan's perception of the Black Hand dropped a lot.

After hearing the announcement from the monks of Dazhou Academy, Fang Qingyuan disappeared from the crowd and flew out quietly.

At this time, more than a month had passed since the Great Zhou Academy wiped out the black hand stronghold. Fang Qingyuan also learned from various channels the reason why the Great Zhou Academy took action.

They suspected that this demonic disaster was closely related to the Black Hand, so some monks in the Great Zhou Academy overcame all opinions and launched this assault.

I heard that the next opening war, because of this demonic disaster, is very popular in Xiaomoyuan. If nothing happens, the new opening war in more than twenty years will probably be fought in Xiaomoyuan.

Fang Qingyuan passed this information to the Bee Mother in the Immortal Mansion, and she compiled and recorded it.

In the Immortal Mansion, Mother Bee is still busy. She has been busy recently because the management problems of millions of indigenous people have made her very nervous.

When Fang Qingyuan's spiritual consciousness came in, Mother Bee quickly stepped forward to report:

"Master, according to the records of these days, less than half of the millions of indigenous people are healthy and have no obvious abnormalities. Many of the remaining people are either deformed or infected with weird diseases. These days Come on, more than two thousand people have died."

Fang Qingyuan's soul listened quietly to the story told by the Bee Mother. He knew that the quality of these indigenous people was very poor, but he didn't expect them to be so poor.

One-third of their bodies are deformed, either missing arms or legs, or having many extra organs. Their average height is 1.4 meters, and they look like giant macaques.

There are also a third of people who suffer from various diseases. These people sometimes go crazy for no reason and die suddenly. Many people can also contaminate the disease. Originally, patients with this disease would be killed directly after being discovered, but in the Immortal Mansion , this behavior is not allowed, so it remains as it is.

The remaining natives are relatively normal. They should be the upper class and middle class among the original natives. They consider themselves to be two different creatures from the untouchables. Therefore, many people are not as happy as Fang Qingyuan imagined about entering the Immortal Mansion. .

"I initially divided these indigenous people into three grades: the healthy ones, the deformed ones, and the tortured ones. Among them, the healthy ones have the lowest level of belief, but the chance of giving birth to a baby with spiritual roots is the highest, while the suffering ones have the most devout beliefs, but The quality of babies born is very poor, and many children are born with various diseases.”

Mother Bee carefully explained the divisions of these indigenous people. After listening to this, Fang Qingyuan noticed another point.

"The belief you are talking about? Does it come from the knowledge in the [Six Desires Demon Sutra] in Black Wind Valley? Have you practiced it?"

After Bee Mother obtained this scripture from Fang Qingyuan, she also used her own [Destiny] magical power to analyze it. However, because she had to transform the nature of the magic power and transform herself into a body suitable for the power of wish, Fang Qingyuan had many concerns and did not make any changes. .

Later, after Fang Qingyuan practiced the "Mirage Dragon Sword Sutra" and discovered the secret of the Immortal Mansion to improve his cultivation, the "Six Desires and Demon Sutra" became even less popular with Fang Qingyuan, so he shelved it.

But now it seems that Bee Mother has studied this very well. Is it possible that she is practicing this magic sutra?

The bee mother shook her head slightly and explained:

"I have not practiced this sutra myself. I have adopted some modifications. Master, please take a look."

After the bee mother finished speaking, she brought Fang Qingyuan to a place in the purple bamboo forest. Six palaces had been built here at some point. The palaces were not big, and each of them housed a statue of a god. The statues looked similar to Fang Qingyuan's.

The expressions on the faces of the six statues are different, including greed, anger, joy, and despair...

It is a dead thing, but its expression is quite vivid, as if it is about to step out of its seat at the next moment.

"Please God? You have sealed the power of faith into these statues? But compared to human beings, the efficiency of these statues in receiving the power of faith is much lower."

Fang Qingyuan has also studied the "Six Desires of Heavenly Demon Sutra" and naturally knows how to practice in it, so he can recognize Bee Mother's method at a glance.

"More than that, Master, please see, this statue is actually alive."

Fang Qingyuan was surprised by Mother Bee's words. After scanning his mind, he realized that the bodies of these six statues of more than ten feet tall were not made of gold, jade, stone, or ten thousand-year-old wooden heart as suggested in the scriptures, but were made of wood. It's something like a piece of meat.

"Meat Ganoderma? Tai Sui Disaster? No, you didn't cultivate it with your own body, right?"

The bee mother proudly claimed the credit and said quickly:

"Just as the master guessed, these statues were cultivated by me using the flesh and blood of the bee swarm. The flesh and blood of the bee swarm was born from me, and naturally counts as my true body. I added the flesh and blood of these six statues to the body of an ordinary queen bee to survive. The organs, except the brain, are equivalent to being alive.”

Fang Qingyuan didn't expect the bee mother to be able to create such a thing. Is it possible that the research results of the bee mother are so abnormal?

"But even so, this statue is equivalent to a dead object. If it continues to absorb the power of faith, it will not be able to defeat even a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building within a hundred years."

"Master, you have forgotten that my [Destiny] magical power is best suited to solve this problem."

After the Bee Mother finished speaking, six invisible threads, which only appeared in Fang Qingyuan's spiritual thoughts, poked out from the huge body of the Bee Mother and gave them to the six statues.

In the next breath, Fang Qingyuan could clearly sense that these statues had awakened.

Then, these gods opened their mouths and uttered a common word:

"Owner!"

··········

Coming out of the statue palace, Fang Qingyuan was a little worried. Is there really no problem with Mother Bee doing this?

After Bee Mother's display just now, Fang Qingyuan understood the deep meaning of Bee Mother's actions. Bee Mother was practicing the [Six Desires Demon Sutra], but he took another trick.

According to the research in Black Wind Valley, all living things have the power of faith, and this power of faith is actually a manifestation of spiritual thoughts and souls. However, there are still many unclear explanations in deeper aspects.

The power of faith is very powerful, but in this spiritual world, just heretics cannot occupy the mainstream.

The reason is that compared with spiritual energy, the power of faith is poisonous.

This [poison] is the turbid current of various desires that comes spontaneously from beings that provide the power of faith. People in the world always make wishes when praying to gods and Buddhas, and this wish is extremely poisonous to the recipient.

If there is too much accumulation of these turbid currents of desire, then the being who receives the power of faith will not be able to control himself.

For example, in this [Six Desires Demon Sutra], if the practitioner is not determined enough and something goes wrong in his practice, then he will be controlled by the six desires and become a madman.

Compared with Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucian practice, this Shinto practice can be said to be very dangerous. It is also because the monks in Black Wind Valley always lose control and cause many disasters. Over the past tens of thousands of years, they have accumulated... It formed a situation of being surrounded and suppressed by other sects.

But now the Bee Mother has taken a trick and stored the power of faith in these flesh-and-blood idols first, thus avoiding facing the power of faith directly, and then uses [Destiny] to control them when needed.

This is not a solution to the problem, it is just a trick. Mother Bee does this for research needs and is also a supplementary means to resettle the millions of indigenous people.

Fang Qingyuan just told her to be careful about the bee mother's behavior, and he could just pay attention to it in the future.

Because after the establishment of these six statues, the benefits to the millions of indigenous people are also obvious.

The so-called people who believe in me will have eternal life. The principle is the same. Those who are in pain, when they are tortured by illness, if they can provide the power of faith, they can at least reduce the pain. Then these statues will feed back a little bit of the purified power of faith, and the lighter ones will be It can be cured directly, and the symptoms of severe cases can also be relieved.

This is a visible benefit. When there was a lack of medical treatment in the early stage, faith became the cheapest painkiller.

Some indigenous people who should have died may have survived because of the power of faith.

"The first batch of supplies must be distributed as soon as possible. The people in these tribes must be divided again and the previous affiliations must be disrupted. I don't want to see slavery still appear here.

In addition, the selected professionals must also be involved as soon as possible to bring new cultural and technical knowledge to these indigenous people. Otherwise, if this group of indigenous islanders are allowed to develop themselves, they will not be able to escape ignorance for another hundred years. "
