Chapter 782 Night Talk on Barren Mountain
"What a clever boy." When the Qi of Haotian appeared vaguely in the heaven and earth, and in the memories of many living beings, the Supreme Purity Lingbao Tianzun in Biyou Palace also smiled, and then stretched out his hand, Contain the energy of Haotian.
It is not an easy task to make Haotian manifest in this world - it is true that Daluo is omnipresent and spans time and space, but the prerequisite is that time, space and heaven and earth maintain a unified state.
But the time and space between the current generation and the generation that Haotian belongs to are both unified and opposite at the same time.
From the perspective of their saints, this is the eternal past.
Over there is the immortal future.
However, between the past and the future, there is a lack of a connecting present.
After all, in a certain sense, the birth of Haotian was manifested by the saint using this generation as a sacrifice - it was the saint who pushed the original reality into the ruins, and in exchange for Haotian Heaven moves from nothingness to reality.
In other words, although Haotian is a great Luo, the foundation of Haotian's existence actually lies in this generation that has been buried in Guixu.
Therefore, even if it is a saint, it is not an easy task to make Haotian's miracle appear in the future manifest in this 'past'.
This is not only reversing time and space, but also forcibly reversing the essence of a great supernatural power user - whether this move will have a good or bad impact on that great supernatural power user, I don't care about it for the time being, but once, during this reversal, Haotian will If the essence and nature are deflected by the influence of external forces, then all the prices paid by heaven and earth for this will not be worth the gain.
The future that Haotian's generation represents is a real miracle that cannot be reproduced - even if a saint can rotate time and space thousands of times and evolve reality and reality, he will not be able to reproduce Haotian's generation. of miracles.
Because, Haotian's generation is a generation that has touched the reality in the illusion and is connected with those existences at the epoch-making level.
The existence of the first world, and the world where the first world is located, are completely complete, beyond the 'variables' controlled by the saint!
Once the possibility of Haotian is missed, even a saint will not be sure that in this infinite chaos, the existence of the first world will be triggered again, thus opening up the opportunity to plunder the origin of heaven and earth.
Therefore, even the saints dare not move or cannot move when it comes to Haotian's affairs - even if this generation is their real 'hometown', no one has ever thought about Haotian's future. Connect to this generation.
Until this time.
At the cost of his own existence, Guangchengzi connected Buzhou Mountain with the Heaven-shaking Seal, temporarily acting as the 'present', connecting the past and the future that could not be connected, and then connected Ao Bing, the disciple of the Great Heavenly Lord, From the future, sent to the past.
No, it was sent to now.
Then, Ao Bing, who was self-taught without a teacher, mentioned Haotian's name in this world and in front of the human king - using his Qinglong Qi, in the name of master and disciple, he mentioned Haotian's name. , brought to this generation.
Therefore, in this past that does not belong to Haotian, there is the first anchor point that belongs to Haotian.
At this time, what the saints have to do is to stabilize this first anchor point and stabilize the only remaining trace of Haotian, so as not to dissipate.
At the same time, it will not alarm others.
"I'm still thinking about how this guy plans to solve the regrets of this generation and make it possible for the two generations to connect."
"But I didn't expect that this kid had this idea."
"Clever, clever." Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun smiled, and then looked at his disciple in front of him with disgust on his face.
"If you can be so smart, why should I worry about you?" As he said that, the figure of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun disappeared in the Biyou Palace - when his figure disappeared, Taoist Duobao and others only Vaguely, he could see a lamp in his hand.
……
At this time, Ao Bing was already walking around in the world.
Zhao Gongming, also together.
"Fellow Qinglong, you have really found a hard job for yourself." Zhao Gongming patted the mane on his horse's back - this horse was the transformation of his mount Black Tiger.
What he was talking about was the edict that Ao Bing requested from the King of Humans.
That is to say, it is something done in the human world to bring life and death into order.
Next to Ao Bing, there was also a dragon horse.
Although under this order from the Human King, the suppression of Ao Bing by humanity was slightly loosened, allowing Ao Bing to use some of his magic power, the two of them still dressed up as mortals - the reason for this It's also very simple.
Before they set off, Emperor Xin notified all the princes of the Eight Hundred Towns of this order asking Qinglong to correct the matter of life and death.
Ao Bing had just set out, and he had already become a thorn in the flesh of the princes in this world.
The eight hundred princes in this world did not think that this was the human king targeting them, but regarded this order as the human king's hint to them.
He hinted to them that this was because the Heavenly Court was at fault in this war and after losing its righteousness, it specially asked the Dragon Clan to come to the human world to find out the faults of the princes like them. Otherwise, how could the Human King spread this order to all directions? ——You should know that everything is done secretly!
If the Human King really wants to do this, he should just lead it but not do it.
Therefore, Ao Bing and Zhao Gongming set out from Mengjin Ferry and headed north out of the Yellow River. According to Ao Bing's plan, they wanted to reach Wuyi Mountain first - and then go west along the Yellow River.
But at this time, they had not reached the first prince, let alone Wuyi Mountain, and they had already been intercepted and killed four times in succession!
In addition, there are also overt and covert temptations from some immortal sects established in the human world.
Test Ao Bingjiu's life and death, whose idea it was, and test the relationship between Ao Bing and Netherworld.
In this murderous calamity that can lead to a saint, the vigilance of those who aspire to the holy position in heaven and earth towards the Netherworld has increased tenfold and a hundredfold compared to before!
Under such circumstances, Ao Bing and Zhao Gongming went to great lengths to pretend to be mortals, avoiding the Immortal Sect's path along the way.
Although this move would inevitably lead to interception and killing by those princes, it could finally avoid the temptation of those cultivators.
"I don't think this is a chore." Ao Bing led Long Ma to a nearby stream and stopped, letting Long Ma drink and rest here.
"At least now, the Dragon Clan has been freed from the conflict between heaven and man. The disciples of the Jie Jiao who are outside do not have to consider the positions of the Dragon Clan and the Jie Jiao."
"Fellow Taoist Gongming, you have to consider whether any of the Jiejiao disciples are involved in this matter of disturbing life and death."
"Buying one's life and selling one's life is really a good deal."
The princes adjacent to the capital of Yin and Shang were called the Hufang Kingdom.
Its territory is quite large and its strength is very tyrannical.
Tigers are revered in the country, and the roar of tigers can be heard in the mountains and forests everywhere. Some nobles and generals in the country even enjoy raising tigers.
In the Hufang Kingdom, it is not uncommon for tigers to eat people - but the people in the country do not pay attention to it. They only treat those who are eaten by tigers. Even the most basic things of avoiding tigers and controlling them are... If you can't do it, you are not worthy of being a member of the Hufang country.
Ao Bing and Zhao Gongming walked through the city, across the border, over mountains and rivers. What they saw in the mountains and cities was that the resentment of mortals dying could be said to be everywhere.
There are even some souls who are restrained by the environment of various mountains and forests and cannot return to the netherworld.
There are even some cities that have specially set up facilities to collect and restrain souls - but when someone dies and has no time to return to the netherworld, their souls will be taken into those facilities, and then their souls will become Some special resources.
Or it can be used to prepare medicinal materials, refine elixirs, or to refining some vicious magical treasures, etc. It can only be said that because Netherworld was jointly suppressed and could not show its saintliness in the world of the sun, the people in the world of the world no longer have the most basic respect for life and death, souls, and Netherworld.
"My religion has its own rules and precepts."
"Brothers everywhere, even if they are a little indulgent, they should not do such evil things." Zhao Gongming also sighed.
Although among the many disciples of Jie Jiao, he has been traveling abroad, but because of the suppression of the immortal way by the energy of human nature, he also comes and goes in the human world - even if he sometimes ends up in the human world, his landing place is not The mansions of those princes and nobles are the places where a certain practitioner practices.
Therefore, in the past, although he traveled outside, he had never seen the real human world.
"No wonder the great Luo of each family don't like their disciples to set foot in the human world."
"Not only because there are too many things involved in the human world, but also because we have seen too much of the things in the human world. It indeed has a great impact on the practitioner's understanding."
If Zhao Gongming had not seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe that in this world, the souls of mortals, and even the souls of practitioners, could be used as items for trade - and even more unbelievable that someone would directly trade them with him. The method of refining other people's souls and souls to enhance one's own body.
When he first encountered this, he could hardly stabilize his mind.
If it weren't for Ao Bing's persuasion, he would have thrown out his Dinghai Pearl and killed all the nobles in the city and the nearby sects.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Qinglong. If there is really a disciple of my Jie Cult involved in this matter, Fellow Daoist, you don't need to say anything, I will clean up the family on the spot!" Zhao Gongming said with murderous intent, holding back his nausea, and then changed his tone slightly.
"On the other hand, fellow Taoist Qinglong - if my perception is correct, your murderous intention along the way is much heavier than mine."
"How come I haven't seen you take action against those bastards until now?"
"Because what I want is not this."
"The soul is something between the dead and the living."
"And what I have to take care of now is the affairs of the living dead."
"This is the source of everything." Ao Bing pondered.
In his past, he has extremely rich experience - when dealing with things, the bigger the problem, the more it has to go to the source.
If it is triggered by other changes other than the source, no matter how much energy you have, you will be involved in the various changes caused by that source and it will be difficult to escape.
Just like a water eye, if it has not been blocked, the water in the river will naturally flow continuously. Anyone who knows it will be in vain and will be trapped in the dilemma of filling water in bottles, and it will never be able to get rid of it. That river water.
The use of souls in the human world is the flowing water in the river - and the water eyes of this river are the things of the living dead.
Because the living dead want to prolong their lives, living creatures have become their consumables. From the living to the dead, from souls to flesh and blood, they have also become all kinds of consumables.
"Compared to this, I am actually more curious about one thing now."
"Although the Netherworld is quite suppressed, the order between life and death is only slightly disordered, and the souls of the deceased will still return to the Netherworld normally - very few can stay in the human world."
"That's all the souls of those practitioners - but what about the souls of mortals?"
"Under the shadow, the utilization of mortal souls has almost become a complete system."
"Fellow Taoist, how many souls are needed to form a system?"
"The vast majority of the souls of the dead will return to the Netherworld and will not be captured by others - otherwise, it is impossible for the Netherworld not to riot."
"Where do so many souls come from?"
"A living person?" Zhao Gongming's eyes suddenly widened, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.
Winning the souls of living people - this can be said to be an unimaginable evil for a disciple of a saint like him!
"It can only be a living person." Ao Bing calmly endured the murderous intention in his heart.
In the book of life and death, the lives and deaths of mortals are all counted - the vast majority of the dead will return to reincarnation.
Once she stays in the human world for too long, even if Queen Houtu is unwilling to compete with others, she will definitely leave the earth for the sake of the overall situation.
Those Daluo who suppressed the Netherworld in the Yang world could not give Empress Houtu this excuse to step out of the Netherworld.
Therefore, the dead return to the netherworld - even if there are some omissions, the omissions will never reach this level.
Therefore, those souls can only come from living people.
Only those who are not dead in the book of life and death can easily avoid the order between life and death and become a loophole for collecting souls.
"The soul can be left behind on a large scale, but the netherworld remains unmoved."
"In other words, even if their souls are stripped away, those who have their souls stripped away are still 'alive' and will continue to 'live' for a long time."
"In this way, the stability of their system can be maintained."
"Fellow Taoist, even immortals like you and me have to recover for a long time after their souls are injured, let alone mortals?"
"But along the way, you and I have seen quite a few mortals - fellow Taoist said, those mortals whose souls have been stripped away, where will their bodies be and what will they be used for?"< br>
"Living dead?" Zhao Gongming's eyes showed an incredulous look.
The princes in the world want to live longer and need consumables, as well as people who can test the medicine. Obviously, those 'living dead' whose souls have been stripped are the best consumables and the best candidates for testing the medicine!
"Fellow Taoist and I walked through the city all the way and never noticed where the living corpses were that had their souls stripped away."
"Presumably those living corpses are really not in the cities everywhere."
"Where do fellow Taoist Gongming think those living corpses are?"
“It’s just two places to go.”
"First, it is the capital of the Tiger Kingdom."
"Second, it's the White Tiger Dao Sect." Soon, Zhao Gongming gave the answer.
"So we have to go to the capital of Hufang first!"
"No, let's go to both places together!" Ao Bing said.
