Chapter 471: Letters sent thousands of miles away, the authenticity of dreams
After the discussion, the two of them and the demon got up and set off.
Lin Fan's request for help this time was completely in vain. Basically, most of the demon kings in the Luosong Mountains met, and no one was willing to send troops.
I don’t know how the Zixiao Sect will arrange the follow-up after returning.
But this is something that the leader needs to consider, and they don't need to worry about it.
The situation in the Song Dynasty was also the result of multi-party games and compromises. It was long-lasting and could not be achieved in a day.
The process of leaving the Dark Swamp this time was completely different from the time when I came in!
Along the way, you can see groups of monster soldiers running around. Monster beasts of various ethnic groups are forced to migrate. The six-hole and eighteen-strong natural camp is standing there. You can even see budgerigars commanding from the sky.
The Bone Erosion Cemetery is in chaos, the rebels are still struggling with the trapped beasts, and the tomb robbers are fighting with blood flowing in rivers;
The scorching quagmire was dug into a canal, diverting the Styx floods and extinguishing the underground lava riots;
The flooding in Maodian Wetland has just subsided, and the population has become extinct. Migrant ethnic groups have filled the gap;
The tranquil forest spirit mine exploded, locusts and bees pupae entered, and the army guarded and struggled to resist;
Along the way, they finally saw the true side of the dark swamp.
That’s a tragedy!
It was originally a demon king leader, but it was turned into a mess for no reason, with smoke everywhere and strange phenomena happening one after another. No wonder the budgerigar was so distressed.
The Skeleton Crocodile Demon King was in bad luck this time, but he still generously invested in Brother Ji. It had to be said that he was not as stingy as Lin Fan imagined.
The checkpoints on the road are indeed tightly guarded. Even if they want to go out from the inside to the outside, they still need to clear the customs ultimatum.
Fortunately, Brother Chicken's round talisman could be used as a token of the Skeleton Crocodile Demon King, so he walked out unimpeded.
After coming out.
Lin Fan asked Lin Shan what his next plan was.
"I came back from the Lu Kingdom this time just to build my natal magic weapon. Now that I have basically fulfilled my expectations, it's time to go back home."
Lin Shan did not hide anything, and even told him that he had offended the 'Saint Maiden of the Maiden Palace', and wanted Lin Fan to help him find out the details.
"Girls' Palace"
Lin Fan thought for a while and said that he had never heard of this name. It was probably not a force surrounding the Song Dynasty, and it was probably very far away from here.
"When I go back, I will help you check within the sect. I believe it will be found out soon. When the time comes, Wanli will send a letter to tell you."
"A message sent thousands of miles away?"
Lin Shan was a little confused. Could this be some kind of amazing magical power? It sounds like the quality is not low.
Lin Fan smiled and took out a palm-sized bird house and gave it to him.
Lin Shan took it and directly relied on the reinforced panel to identify it.
【鸪nest】
Quality: Level 4 machine creation
Introduction: A derivative of the puppet house, a bird's nest used to inhabit messenger partridges. It releases tracking patterns all the time to locate messages sent thousands of miles away.
Strengthening requirements: 64 points
Lin Shan put his eyes to the window of the bird house and found two small wooden sculptures lying on the ground inside.
Shake it hard and shake it out.
The reinforced panel authenticates the wood carving again.
【Message Partridge】
Quality: Level 4 Puppet
Introduction: The bird-shaped letter puppet can realize the communication needs of both parties through specific positioning of the letter nest. It is fast, non-threatening, small in size, lightweight and durable, with ultra-long battery life. The surface is coated with the twelfth generation improved version of the Flying Invisible Puppet Technique of Cultivation World Puppetry.
Strengthening requirements: 64 points
"What the hell, it's so fancy."
It was the first time for Lin Shan to see this kind of introduction, but he probably knew what it meant.
This puppet has no attack power, it is just a messenger puppet that conveys trust.
Xinpuppet, one of the subordinate branches of Puppet.
As the name suggests, it is specially used to transmit information.
Puppetry, as one of the six arts of cultivation, can be regarded as a top craft. Logically speaking, he has been promoted to the golden elixir stage, and he is indeed qualified to touch it for a while.
The plant-based puppet making technology like "Spreading Beans into Soldiers" is actually a bit similar to the method of summoning spirits, and it is quite different from the traditional mechanism puppet technology.
Plant-type bean soldiers, as long as you can find seeds of the corresponding level and find a way to refine them, you can have a corresponding combat power, but the upper limit is very low.
Basically at the bottom of the same class.
Mechanical puppets not only require a complete production line and technology, but also require deep professional knowledge and proficiency, whether it is various spiritual materials or puppet laws.
After the refining is successful, it will become stronger when encountering a strong one, but its power is unknown.
No one is sure how high the upper limit is. It can greatly change the situation of the battle, and it may be stronger than the user.
Of course, with the update and iteration of puppetry, different needs correspond to different improvements, in order to save costs and precise positioning.
Some puppet masters streamlined and eliminated complexity and began to tinker with puppets for specific purposes.
For example, there are messenger puppets who deliver letters, farm puppets who plant spiritual fields, boy puppets who assist in alchemy and weapon refining, yellow scarf warriors who specialize in running errands, demon puppets who serve as spiritual pets and playthings, and dancing puppets who play and sing, as well as those who sell their bodies to sleep with them. The pimp
There are so many tricks that only you can't think of, and none of the puppet experts can't do it.
It stands to reason that if such puppets invade the cultivation world market, they will greatly squeeze the living space of low-level casual cultivators and deprive cheap labor of work channels.
It's just that under the world of heaven, there will be no such loopholes.
The driving of the puppet requires spiritual stones.
After repeated experiments by the big capitalists in the world of cultivation, they found that the spiritual stones consumed by puppets are much higher than the wages of human beings!
So in the end it’s more cost-effective to use low-level casual cultivators to work.
The salary is low, and you can't afford to make any trouble. Even if you knock out a tooth, you have to swallow it.
Unlike puppets, if there are not enough spiritual stones, they can't do the work, and you can't squeeze them desperately. This is not in line with the profit-seeking nature of capital's exploitation of surplus value.
Therefore, puppets can only be used in high-end industries, and low-end ones are only used as lifestyle supplements.
In addition, ordinary puppets have no intelligence and cannot produce human emotions. In many cases, they can only rely on instinct and cannot provide emotional value, so they cannot replace living beings.
Of course, it is said that in the days before the battle, there was a popular rumor in the Lu country.
The once-annihilated Zhenzhi Academy produced a top genius, Ma Wentong. Although the whereabouts of the "hyacinth" he invented were unknown, they were traced by the ancestors of the Nascent Soul stage.
However, other ideas he once had have been rediscovered by various academies and they plan to pay attention to them. Especially the Starlink Project of the "Protect Satellite", the new energy plan of the "Magic Airship", and even the "Catwoman Puppet" otaku monk gospel plan
Many low-level casual cultivators in the Lu Kingdom are secretly looking forward to it. It is said that the "Catwoman Puppet" can not only watch the door and sweep the floor, heat the water and warm the bed, but can also practice dual cultivating in the same bed, and can even give birth to children!
The texture and texture of his skin, as well as his appearance and figure, are all excellent.
The most important thing is that after careful consideration of the spiritual material list and budget statistics, if mass-produced, the price of the Catwoman puppet at the lowest level in the early stage of Qi refining is expected to be only 140 spiritual stones!
140 spiritual stones, buy a Taoist companion that will last a lifetime, earn money!
Even when you are old and sedentary, you can still leave it to your descendants.
Passed down through three generations, people are gone and puppets are still there!
Even the famous five-pattern puppet master MacArthur, a barbarian who traveled far and wide in the West, once said:
"It's not that Taoists in the world of cultivation can't afford to marry, but the Catwoman puppet is more cost-effective!"
In this regard, related heated discussions caused quite a stir at the bottom of the Lu State, and it was once put on the desks of the heads of various forces.
The Lujiang League was also following up on this matter, but they didn't pay too much attention to it.
Lin Shan retracted his thoughts.
Now that I am in the Song Dynasty, the Lu State has no control over it. I am fighting alone here. I really need a local snake like Lin Fan to convey information to me.
With the special puppet "Wanli Chuan Shu", the brothers no longer have to worry about communication problems.
However, the value of this fourth-level bird's nest and the two bird's nests is probably not low.
Lin Fan waved his hand and told him that these were free of charge. They were picked up anyway, and it would be a waste not to use them.
Lin Shan had no choice but to put it away. The son of luck was so rich, so there was no need for him to care too much.
"Brother, you finally returned to the Song Dynasty, don't you plan to go back to the Lin family in southern Xinjiang to take a look?"
Lin Fan told him about the recent situation of the Lin family.
Lin Shan listened briefly and felt a little nostalgic in his heart.
After all, he has been there for ten years since he was a child. It is impossible to say that he has no feelings.
Although the Lin family did not pay special attention to a poor disciple from the outer courtyard like him, at least they had enough food and clothing, provided housing, distributed elixirs, and assigned work, and nothing was left behind.
This kind of family is rare in the feudal dynasty in the mortal world!
Although the Lin family later, under pressure from the Qinghe County Sheriff, cooperated with the government guards to steal escorts and loot money, they turned a blind eye to the escaped escorts from the Lin's Escort Agency and allowed them to be arrested and imprisoned.
That's because I can't do anything, my arms can't twist my thighs.
Lin Shan was actually a little grateful to the Lin family.
However, since you have left the world, you don't have to cling to the past, otherwise it may become your weakness.
Thinking of Lin’s Escort Agency
A dream suddenly flashed through Lin Shan's mind. When he was caught in the turbulence of space in Xiaoyizhou, he had many, many dreams.
There are fragments from the past and the future, from the perspective of oneself and bystanders, and it is impossible to tell whether it is true or false.
Among them, there is a scene about the escort master of the escort agency, Master Pu!
In the dream, Master Pu seemed to have left some message for himself on the wall before setting himself on fire!
If I come back this time and rush to southern Xinjiang in person to find the truth about more than fifty years ago, I can verify the authenticity of the dream!
If it’s fake, it’s easier to say, but if it’s true
Lin Shan's eyes narrowed and he spoke immediately.
"Southern Xinjiang, I have to go back!"
He did not tell Lin Fan that he also dreamed about good brothers in his dream.
One is that he is not sure whether it is completely true, and the other is that he is afraid that if he says it in advance, he will be sanctioned and obliterated by the passage of time and the laws of heaven and earth!
Now that I am in the golden elixir stage, as I have just started practicing, my respect for the way of heaven and chaos is gradually increasing, and I know that there are some things that should be said and some things that should not be said!
What the past has been like and what the future will be like, we still have to find out on the ground.
Whether Master Pu leaves a message for himself is the beginning of verifying the authenticity of the dream!
"Do you want to go back to southern Xinjiang with me?"
Lin Shan turned to look at Lin Fan.
The latter shook his head and said that he still had important things to attend to.
"I can only accompany you to walk eastward for a while. After arriving at Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, you can go south and I can go west. You must return to the sect as soon as possible to report back to the master."
"The demon kings in the Luosong Mountains are unable to advance. Since they are unwilling to send troops, the Zixiao Sect must make plans in advance. Every moment of delay will make it more difficult to finish the battle afterwards."
"Anyway, we brothers will meet each other in the future. After the peace inside and outside the Song Dynasty, I will be allowed to travel down the mountain, and I can also go to the State of Lu to find you."
Lin Fan has a heavy responsibility and cannot accompany Lin Shan home to visit relatives, which is okay.
Anyway, Brother Chicken is accompanying him on this trip. He has been allowed by the Peacock King to go out for training and has made up his mind to stay by Lin Shan's side, waiting for him to help establish the sect!
"Well, you should be busy with your business first. I'll just go back to southern Xinjiang for a casual stroll."
Lin Shan nodded. It was convenient to investigate by himself.
But he immediately remembered that when he passed through Yichuan a while ago, Zuo Zhenren mentioned to him the deeds of the "Black Lotus Sect" in southern Xinjiang.
Since I plan to go back, one thing counts, and it is better to do two things together.
"Also, I just want to ask you about the remnants of the Black Lotus Sect in southern Xinjiang. Do you have any inside information that you can reveal to me?"
Lin Fan gave him a strange look when he heard this.
"I almost forgot, you used to be a messenger of the Demon Cult, you are so majestic!"
"Why, are you still thinking about the Black Lotus?"
"The water behind that sect is very deep. I suggest you not to touch it too much, or you may get burned."
On the surface, Lin Shan couldn't tell whether he heard it or not. Anyway, he looked unconcerned.
Lin Fan didn't seem to care when he saw him. He turned around and looked around, pretending to be mysterious and murmuring in a low voice.
"I once heard at a meeting in the Zixiao Sect that the Black Lotus Sect is a target that the upper world has named to be eradicated. You'd better not jump into this pit of fire again, and clear your name as soon as possible if you can!"
Lin Shan glanced around speechlessly. In this corner of the deep mountains and old forests, who are you trying to show off to?
"I know, you don't have to worry about this. Just tell me the news about the Black Lotus. Of course, if it's difficult, forget it."
Lin Fan saw that he was stubborn and refused to listen. Even though he had already spoken frankly enough, this guy still insisted on going to the Black Lotus Sect, so he had no choice but to agree.
"Well, there's really nothing we can do about you."
"I told you but you didn't listen. Don't get me involved when you want to die in the future. If you wade into the muddy waters of the Black Lotus Sect, something big will happen. Don't blame me for not warning you."
"When I get back, I'll look through our Zixiao Sect's intelligence files for you. Then I'll send you the part about the Black Lotus Sect by sending a message from thousands of miles away. It shouldn't take long."
"Oh, by the way, the leader seemed to have paid attention to this matter a while ago and sent elite disciples to deal with the Black Lotus Sect. You must be careful and don't get caught!"
"Don't worry!"
Lin Shan didn't care about this at all. Now he has rejuvenated and become a young man. His appearance is no longer the same as before. Even if he is recognized by acquaintances, he has to look half way.
Who has nothing to do and would deliberately remember a young man who was in the foundation building period decades ago?
