This is the gap between Jindan and Jindan. Even if it is pushed to the limit, one move can severely damage or even destroy multiple foundations. To what extent will it be magnified?
After uttering that powerful "roar", the aura of the colorful tiger demon weakened visibly to the naked eye. Even so, Master Jing still didn't dare to act rashly, but let him flee away after a few times of probing. Withdrawing his gaze, he led a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators to clean up the remaining monsters on Congliu Mountain.
However, there were some twists and turns along the way.
After beheading the foundation-building monsters on Congliu Mountain, just as the monks were about to take advantage of the victory to chase down and kill the remaining Qi-training monsters, they were stopped by Master Jing: "The threatening monsters have been expelled!" Beheaded and killed, the rest will not cause trouble, so don't make more murders."
To be honest, these words were a bit abrupt, but even if the foundation-building cultivators were puzzled, they did not dare to make mistakes in the face of the majesty of Jindan Daoist, so they had to pack up their gains—mainly the materials of various monsters, and return Go back to Xianzhong City on Jin Zhenren's flying boat.
Mixed in it, from the point of view of a foundation cultivator, Lin Xiu's trip was a rewarding experience, but it was far inferior to the escaped golden core demon general.
Just when Lin Xiu was thinking about whether to find an opportunity to come out to try his luck after returning to the city, to see if he could meet the tiger demon, suddenly his consciousness caught a figure approaching.Immediately, he quickly calmed down, pretended not to notice anything and continued to pack all kinds of monster materials at hand.
"Are you the one thousand friends that Yingjie said?"
"—I've met Master Jing!"
It was like when an ordinary foundation-building cultivator faced Jindan Zhenren, after hearing Jing Zhenren's voice, Lin Xiu hurriedly stood up and saluted in "tremendous fear", and at the same time secretly doubted whether his disguise had been seen through.
It doesn't make sense, this Daoist Jing is only at the middle stage of the golden core, and there is nothing special about his spiritual consciousness, even worse than himself... Or is there some special magic weapon hidden, or is it really just a pure coincidence?
While thinking about it, Daoist Jing didn't leave, but stood beside Lin Xiu and looked into the distance: "What do you think of that tiger demon just now?"
"This……"
Although he still didn't know the number of ways, Lin Xiu still gave an answer from his own point of view: "The physical body is strong, coupled with extraordinary supernatural powers, compared to my human monks, it is indeed superior."
If it is an ordinary human golden core cultivator who is cut to the flesh by a sword cultivator of the same realm using the "sword light differentiation" technique, not to mention dying on the spot, at least he must be seriously injured, how can he be shot like the tiger demon? Full of anger, he urged his magical powers to fight back, and sometimes he was able to escape.
There is also that supernatural power, as a unique talent of the monster race, its power is not as good as the magic weapon driven by a Jindan real person, and this "supernatural power" can continue to increase its power with the improvement of the monster race's cultivation level, basically It's just waiting for a growth technique, and it is highly compatible with the Yaozu itself.
Combining the two, Daoist Jing is still extremely cautious when facing the tiger demon even if it is a small realm higher, and even dared not act lightly when he watched it escape... Of course, how much of it is worrying? Only he himself knows how much of the backlash is due to other thoughts.
After hearing Lin Xiu's answer, Jing Zhenren nodded lightly: "That's right, compared to the monster race, our human race is indeed inferior."
"The physical body, supernatural powers, and the crucial longevity are all weaker than those of the monster race. The only thing that can be cultivated is the progress of cultivation. But if there is no time condition for a monk to grow, then compared to the monster race Race, is there really something good about my human race?"
--What does it mean?
Lin Xiu couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, before he could react, Jing Zhenren suddenly changed the subject again.
"Do you know why the Qingqiu demon clan only covets the Qingyuan leader, but turns a blind eye to the Suxuan leader who is also close at hand, and what they are facing is a monster clan that is not my race. Sending seven gates' but turning a deaf ear to the threat from the demon race?"
Lin Xiu shook his head. To be honest, Lin Xiu has been in similar confusion for a long time. He thought about asking City Lord Li before, but at that time he had no time to pay attention to the pressure of Jinxuanzong. Jing Zhenren, who had never met before, took the initiative to bring it up...
In the dark, a realization has emerged in the bottom of my heart.
Lin Xiu's attitude was no longer "respectful" as before, but he said seriously: "I would like to hear more about it."
Jing Zhenren did not express his attitude towards Lin Xiu's change of attitude. He still cast his eyes on the empty distance, and said in a calm tone: "1 years ago, the Qingyuan Territory was still the territory of the monster clan, but it was taken over by my human monks after that. , it became what it is today.”
"During that period, more than [-]% of the monsters were beheaded by human monks, and the remaining [-]% were unable to escape. Do you know what they chose at that time?"
"……do not know."
Turning his head, Jing Zhenren looked directly into Lin Xiu's eyes, but there was a sense of serenity in his calm tone: "They pluck their fur, cut off their horns, pull out their sharp claws, and smash their fangs...all for the sake of They can make themselves look more harmless, more like a 'human' rather than a 'monster', in this way, they gain the right to live in the Qingyuan Territory dominated by the human race."
"And now, it's my human race's turn."
293. Eat Man and Resist Demons, Eat Demons and Transform Demons
Until he returned to the cave in Xianzhong City, Lin Xiu was still thinking about what Jing Yanling said just now.
Combining his remarks and what he had seen and heard after he stepped into Qingyuan, Lin Xiu finally had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the pattern of "human-monster confrontation" that took place on this land.
First of all, Qingyuan Territory is not the territory of the human race in the traditional sense, but was once seized by the monks of the human race from the Yaozu, and it took less than ten thousand years to seize it.
This is very important, or in other words, Qingyuan comprehended more than [-]% of the reasons for this situation.
You must know that even in the world before Lin Xiu crossed over, when two countries broke out in a war and one side seized the other's land, it was impossible to change course easily, let alone in this world of cultivating immortals where the average life expectancy of monks was beyond imagination.
1 years may be an unimaginably long time for mortals, but it may not be so for cultivators. On this basis, if the person facing this scene is a head that has reached the late stage of Nascent Soul, the life expectancy will be longer. The demon king, who is far beyond the Nascent Soul of the ordinary human race, may still "freshly remember" the "sense of humiliation" of being deprived of his homeland.
When they have no choice but to bear the humiliation, but when the attack is vulnerable, it is not surprising to take any measures for revenge.
Not only that, this Qingqiu fox sensibly did not spread the flames of war beyond Qingyuan Territory, and even Suxuan Territory, who also bordered it and had internal chaos, never stepped into it, which also made Qingyuan There is only a small amount of hope left in the leader - the idea of forming a united front against the demon is stillborn.
From the beginning to the end, the Qingqiu Monster Clan launched this war against the Qingyuan Territory in the name of "revenge". In addition, the Qingqiu Monster Clan is rumored to have a demon king whose cultivation level has reached the late Yuanying period. How many people are willing to take the risk of losing their cultivation for thousands of years to get involved?
Taking a step back, even if the Yuanying people are far-sighted and willing to lend a helping hand, what about those sect forces that cling to him?They neither had the obligation to be monks in Qingyuan, nor did they have the determination of the Venerable Master. Yuan Ying, who would really lend a helping hand, could not easily ignore the wishes of these people and involve them in this cruel dispute.
This has led to the current situation where the Qingyuan leader can only fight against the Qingqiu monster clan with only one territory.
When the possibility of borrowing power from the outside was suppressed, the only thing left was to seek their own way. Facing the request from the monster race, the three major sects as the pillars chose the countermeasures.
Su Xinzong's solution was to retreat, since the Qingqiu demon clan came to Qingyuan leader in the name of "revenge", then they should simply give up to Qingyuan leader.
In comparison, Jin Xuanzong's response was undoubtedly much more drastic.
In order to fight against the invasion of the Qingqiu monster clan, they did not hesitate to step on the principle of breaking through the bottom line, and even used the "blood food" method to practice. However, due to the heavy legacy and endless troubles, and the intervention of Lin Xiu, an off-site factor, In the end it was forcibly terminated.
And now, Lin Xiu saw Gu Lizong's countermeasure...
"Mr. Lin Xiu?"
The divergent thoughts were recalled, and when he raised his head, he saw Gan Yu's worried eyes.
Exhaling, Lin Xiu took the documents she handed over, which were basically about the construction of Rhodes Island—the progress was gratifying, but after the encounter just now, Lin Xiu couldn't continue to focus all his energy on it.
Some things don't mean that you can disappear if you don't want to interfere with them, especially with Lin Xiu's current position.
If I chose to stand by and watch from the beginning, there was still a possibility, but when I chose to do that in Wensheng City, I was destined to be under the sight of these sects.
In their eyes, the "Purple and Green Twin Swords" are not the foundation-building that can be seen everywhere. Even Jin Dan has killed a lot with his own hands. Everyone should be concerned about it.
Perhaps Lin Xiu was noticed the moment he stepped into Xianzhong City. It is even unknown how much of Cong Liushan and his party was to drive away the monsters, and how much was to "remind" himself.
The only thing that can be confirmed now is that her identity is no longer a secret at "Qilinglou", and "Qilinglou" is paying attention to her every move.
Cong Liushan and his party can be seen as a reminder, or as a warning. They allowed the little-known casual cultivator "Qianjian" to stay in Xianzhong City, practicing and trading here as an ordinary monk, but they did not allow "Lin Xiu" appeared here, let alone allow the "Ziqing Twin Swords" to intervene in the affairs of the city. After all, Wen Shengcheng's lessons learned from the past are there, so they can't help but be vigilant.
But, can it really be that simple?
"...Gan Yu, you walked around the city before, right?"
"Eh, yes."
While answering, Gan Yu showed a complex emotion on his face, but quickly concealed it. Lin Xiu, who caught this detail, put down the document in his hand: "Come out with me tonight."
Without waiting for Gan Yu to answer, Lin Xiu said emphatically again: "Just go to... those places that impress you."
The best way not to be involved in something is that you don't know it exists. Once you know it, continuing to turn a blind eye is also a way of "participating".
The night came quickly, and even though he knew it was useless, Lin Xiu still used the black virtual pearl and virtual phase method to cover up his face, and moved towards the outer city under the leadership of Gan Yu.
What I saw along the way was the same as before, monks, mortals, and half-demons mixed in with monks and mortals, which together constitute today's Xianzhong City.
Also because of the existence of these half-demons, even if Gan Yu appeared in his real face, it did not cause too much commotion. Even if there was anything, it was mostly aimed at Gan Yu's appearance rather than the pair of horns.
However, it was so rare to get the right to walk in the crowd without being stared at by strange eyes, but the girl did not show any joyful emotions, on the contrary, she carried unconcealable sadness.
Moving all the way to the outer city, they finally came to a messy place.
After a rough scan of the consciousness, this is a chaotic building built with multiple wooden structures. It is as messy as the outside, and there are many figures in it. It is worth noting that these figures have people outside the human race. breath.
"There are all half-demons here?"
Gan Yu nodded: "Here...there are some very poor people. I thought about helping them before, but there are too many people, and doing so will attract attention."
"Whose attention?"
"'Exorcist', and...'Qiling Tower'."
I had heard about the "Exorcist" Lin Xiu before, but because it was only an organization under the jurisdiction of "Qilinglou", and the controller was only a fake alchemy, so he didn't pay much attention.
However, Lin Xiu overlooked one point. For himself with a golden core cultivation base, the institutions led by foundation-building monks are naturally insignificant. The configuration of the car can already be called luxurious - even too luxurious.
What made them attach so much importance to the existence of "Demon Exorcist"?
The answer will be revealed soon. With this thought in mind, Lin Xiu stepped into it.
Once stepping in, a strange smell mixed with various body odors and filth hits the face. This kind of place is unbearable even for mortals, let alone monks with keen senses.
But right now, the "half-demons" crowded inside are no longer under three hundred. Lin Xiu's entry did not attract much attention from them, not because they didn't care about the surroundings, but because the various tortures on them had forced They can no longer maintain the attention they deserve to the outside world.
These people are all half-demons, but they are not the half-demons that Lin Xiu saw in the inner city and on the road. Although those half-demons have inhuman features, they are basically the same as Gan Yu. There are some inhuman features on the body, which will not have a great impact on the functions of the body and will in turn strengthen one or two.
For example, the physique of the tiger monster, the agility of the mouse monster, the strength of the eagle monster... etc., some half-monsters can even inherit the sense of spiritual energy in their blood, and thus obtain the qualification to cultivate the spiritual energy.
And what about the half-demon here?
They are also "half demons", they look so... distorted.
Yes, "distortion", even if the word itself has a certain negative meaning, Lin Xiu can only think of this word to describe it for a while. Take the one closest to Lin Xiu as an example. In addition to the distinct structure of the limbs, a third "foot hoof" grew out of the tail vertebrae. This "demonization" not only failed to bring him any positive strengthening, but brought him endless pain and torture .
And a little far away is a figure curled up on the ground. Under the observation of Lin Xiu's spiritual sense, the blood she inherited is some kind of rabbit-shaped monster. However, it is not just the ears, but the lips, pupils, and nose. ...The features on the face are all the appearance of a rabbit monster, but the other parts retain the characteristics of this human being.
Because of this, she lost the ability to speak, and even her hearing was greatly weakened. The only remaining vision was enough for her to see things that were less than a few feet away, so she curled up on the ground. Only in this way could she Able to act like a "human".
This kind of case is happening to everyone present. If it was before the trip to Congliu Mountain, Lin Xiu might still be shocked and astonished, but now, compared with these two kinds, it is more depressed and angry.
— This is the price.
The price of the "direction" chosen by Gu Lizong, Xian Zhongcheng, and Qiling Building is just that the person who pays the price is not the person who made the choice, but the person chosen by them.
Qingyuan led the three major sects, facing the Qingqiu monster clan's pressing step by step, they chose to explore in their own "directions".
If Jin Xuanzong's approach is to "eat people and resist demons", then Gu Lizong's approach is to "eat demons and transform them into demons".
Just like the monsters used to pluck their hairs and cut off their horns, yank their claws and knock their teeth, and integrate into the human race in order to make themselves look harmless, now Gu Lizong chooses to let people devour the flesh and blood of monsters, constantly polluting the alienated blood.
Let yourself change from a person to a "demon".
294. After all, it is difficult to calm down
Turning back from the outer city, the next day Lin Xiu paid an early visit to the cave of his only friend in Xianzhong City.
"Friend Thousand Daoists?"
"Zhao Daoyou, I'm bothering you."
Seeing Zhao Yingjie's surprised expression that didn't seem to be fake, Lin Xiu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
As expected, his master did not publicize Lin Xiu's true identity, but regarded it as a "secret" that was known inside the Golden Core level.
