Chapter 786: The Place of the Cave
“No method can be born out of thin air.”
“From an inspiration to a concrete result, it requires incomparable energy and cost. ."
"Especially the ones you use to extend your life. The method requires countless test subjects. After confirming that there are no problems, it will be passed on to yourself and improved from generation to generation. "
"So, can you tell me, the deduction in your clan. Where is the place to test this life-extending method?”
Ao Bing held the man's neck, and the mark on his palm stuck to the man's body, locking his soul so that he could not escape from Ao Bing's hands no matter what.
Before the man could speak, Ao Bing continued to speak.
"Of course, you don't have to say it - it's nothing more than that after your soul returns to the Netherworld, the Netherworld ghosts and gods will know these secrets from your soul and then tell them to me."
After hearing this, the expression of the man being carried by Ao Bing changed again.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was different from all the practitioners he had dealt with in the past - this was the messenger from the netherworld, and all his secrets were hidden in the dark world. There can be no secrets in front of Netherworld.
"I don't believe it. You Netherworlds really dare to pry into other people's secrets at will." For a moment, the man seemed to have thought of something and forced a smile. "If this is true, how can the strong men in heaven and earth tolerate the existence of ghosts and gods like you."
"Of course no one will pry into the secrets of ordinary people. The memories in their souls, Netherworld ghosts and gods naturally don’t know how to Go spy.”
“But that’s not the case with the fugitives whose names have been written off in the book of life and death.”
“You yourself should know the reason.”
So, this man also fell silent.
There is a green book in the sky, with Qi as its root.
The land has a record of death, which is based on life.
This is like their yellow book in the human world, which records everyone's identity - the yellow book in the human world. Only those who are on the yellow book are considered human beings and are protected by humanity.
Those outside the Yellow Book are non-human beings.
Everything you have experienced has nothing to do with humanity - no matter what the reason is, you have never been on the Yellow Book.
This is also the reason why the princes of the human world, as well as the immortals and gods, can operate on countless slaves at will, and use those slaves as consumables and even as flesh and blood medicine.
As for these people, they were safe and sound between heaven and earth before because their secret method was 'hidden' from humanity and was protected by humanity. Therefore, even if the Ministry of Life and Death loses its reputation, it will not have the slightest impact on them. .
But at this time, humanity no longer protects them, their names are not in the book of life and death, and there is no 'Qi' for them between heaven and earth.
Under such circumstances, the rules between heaven and earth naturally have nothing to do with them. Let alone the Netherworld, it was Ao Bing who used the soul-searching method on them openly and openly at this time. There would be no trouble if he split their souls and searched for everything he wanted in their souls - unless Ao Bing really saw something extraordinary.
"If you can give me a happy life, so that my soul will not suffer in the netherworld, but go straight to reincarnation, I will tell you those places, not only the secret places of our family, but also the secret places of other families, I I’ll tell you the same.”
"I can only promise that if you tell me in detail, after you enter the netherworld, you will not suffer unnecessarily because of the anger of those ghosts and gods."
Hearing this, Jie Ye fell silent again, thinking carefully. Ao Bing's words came up.
Avoiding death and extending life is a path of no return - because this is the way to anger the Netherworld.
They all know how they will vent their anger on the offender after being offended, let alone the ghosts and gods in the netherworld.
Therefore, once this method of avoiding death and extending life is used, it must be used consistently to avoid falling into the hands of ghosts and gods one day.
Similarly, the further back they go and the longer they escape from deception, the more terrifying the anger of those ghosts and gods in the underworld will become, and the more these people will not dare to return to the underworld.
Therefore, for this person with a high position, Ao Bing’s conditions are really full of temptations - just settle the original merits and demerits, without suffering additional pain, the anger of the ghosts and gods in the netherworld, Nor will I vent to him.
"It's a deal." The old man said, even in front of Ao Bing, he named one place after another.
——Contrary to Ao Bing's expectation, the families from the Hufang Kingdom, where they studied ways to avoid death and survive, were actually gathered in the same area.
"Ghost Lord, this method is originally taboo, and must be avoided by people in heaven and earth."
"There are not many places that can avoid the people of heaven and earth. Building these places also consumes a lot of resources - if each family does its own thing, chooses its own place, prepares its own resources, flesh, blood, soul, etc., The secret of longevity has long been exposed to heaven and earth. "
In the beginning, these activities under the shadow were indeed hidden in the wilderness and unknown places.
But as time went by, as those families, some princes, and even human kings of a certain generation were pulled into this shadow, the direction of the wind began to slowly change.
From the initial pursuit of secrecy and stability, it has become the pursuit of safety and efficiency.
So, under the guidance of that generation of human kings, the habits of these shadows also changed.
With the cover of the Human King, their stronghold was moved from an uninhabited place where they were often bumped into by experienced practitioners to a place where mortals gathered - this could not only avoid those experienced practitioners, but also There's enough 'material. ’
At the same time, the tradition of “concentrating efforts to do big things” was also unified by the king of men.
Different strongholds, according to their own routes, the required materials are integrated into one center after another, to conduct unified integration and unified testing of the method of longevity.
The human king of that generation was named Jie—Xia Jie.
After integrating various research centers, as the research deepened step by step, these nobles who pursued survival became more and more demanding on materials - from ordinary slaves to Chinese people, and finally , even some nobles and practitioners were kidnapped and turned into materials.
The rule of Xia, the dynasty established by the first human king and passed down from generation to generation, was ended because of the exposure of this incident.
After Cheng Tang destroyed Xia, when he wanted to annihilate these shadows, he suddenly discovered that with the demise of Xia, these shadows also shrank.
After some of the research centers were wiped out, the remaining research centers turned into empty shells.
The kings of the Yin and Shang dynasties knew that those empty shells did not mean that the shadow had disappeared.
But it means that this shadow has been taken away and digested by other princes who raised armies with them, and has become one of the foundations of those princes.
Perhaps at the beginning, those princes who raised armies only wanted to understand these things, and then use them to formulate strategies to deal with these things. But as time goes by, they start to need these things too.
Even among the Yin and Shang royal families, there were also people who were involved in this shadow.
However, the ability of these people to hide and lurk is really too strong. Coupled with the cover of those princes and the aftermath of the war-so, after the war between Shang and Xia, the traces of the shadows appeared. Completely disappear.
In other words, it was completely parasitic on the flesh and blood of the Yin and Shang dynasties.
Just like the shadows that appear on creatures under the sunlight, they cannot be cut off.
Similarly, because of their vigilance against the Xia Dynasty and this shadow, the Yin and Shang Dynasties were even more guarded against this shadow.
So, for the sake of safety, these shadows adopted the same methods as the Xia Dynasty.
With a vassal state as the center, the nobles and kings of this vassal state are drawn into this shadow, and then, under the protection of this vassal state, they 'live and multiply'.
What Jie told Ao Bing was this research center located in Hufang Kingdom.
All the mature or immature life-extending techniques circulated in Hufang Kingdom come from this - the method of stripping away the soul and the method of cultivating the body of flesh and blood also come from this, which is the study and improvement of longevity. A by-product of the longevity process.
According to Xie, as long as this research center is destroyed, the inheritance of longevity in Hufang Kingdom will not be completely cut off, but cut off by 70 to 80%, there is absolutely no problem - -Furthermore, the huge accumulation of two dynasties passed down by the research center is almost impossible to be reconnected after being destroyed.
Because with the passage of time, many past research results, as well as the raw materials for research, and even the materials for casting some facilities, have become impossible to find.
The research center is located in a cave in Hufang Kingdom.
The portal to the cave is not elsewhere—but right inside the palace, inside the statue of a human with a tiger head!
In Hufang Kingdom, the monarch often organizes nobles from the country to go to the palace to worship the ancestors of Hufang Kingdom - the sacrifice is actually the king of Hufang Kingdom, who takes these nobles to the cave to receive new research results and continue own life span.
At the same time, this sacrifice is also an excuse to send the many consumables as sacrifices to the research center in a reasonable way.
"Statue?" After sending the man in front of him into the netherworld, Ao Bing looked up at the statue overlooking the royal capital, and couldn't help but feel a headache.
It must be said that these people really chose an excellent hiding place.
Their methods are even more exquisite.
The statue was made from the remains of the demon god, and the demon god's soul was trapped in the statue - coupled with the humane energy of the royal capital.
It is no exaggeration to say that the existence of that statue is a valuable humane treasure.
But even for such a treasure of humanity, the beings in the shadows can play tricks on it, and even connect it to a cave hidden somewhere. On top of this statue.
Even Ao Bing thought he was inferior to such a method.
And the most troublesome thing about the current situation is the location where the statue is located.
Within the palace.
At this time, the palace was already surrounded and blocked by soldiers - the princes in the palace were also waiting for Chaoge's response.
This can be said to be the time when the guards inside and outside the palace are the most stringent.
It is almost impossible to step into the palace at this time and then step into the cave through the statue.
So, the safest way is actually to crush the statue in the air, cut off the door to the cave, and seal the cave forever.
But the problem is that Ao Bing doesn't know if there are other portals in the cave.
It is not clear how long the cave can drift in the void after being blocked, and it is even less clear whether research centers in other places have means to connect to the cave.
And this method does not require directly facing the soldiers in the palace, nor does it need to face the unpredictability inside the cave.
——The only difficulty is how to smash the statue made of the corpse of the tiger demon god, or in other words, how to remove the cave door on the statue.
Although this is difficult, compared to rushing into the palace and then being surrounded by those soldiers, finding the entrance to the cave and stepping into the cave is already very safe.
But...
"You still have to step into the cave." After a moment, Ao Bing shook his head.
Only by stepping into the cave and completely annihilating the things in the cave with your own hands can there be no further trouble.
“It is said that among the human race, there is a method to measure the cave sky. If this method can be used, combined with the human race’s vitality cannon, one shot will blow down the things in the cave sky, and the cave sky, together with it, will be blown into nothingness. That is the real infallibility Lost."
"It's a pity that the human race will obviously not give it to me with such a method." Ao Bing shook his head and spit out all the turbid air in his chest before launching the spear. He came out, then raised his spear and headed towards the palace.
Under the blockade of the army, it is impossible to enter the palace by any means of concealment.
So, if you want to step into the palace at this time, the only way is to force your way in!
When Ao Bing left, the aristocratic families in the city and those who could still make decisions in the family also hurriedly entered the palace - every noble who entered the palace was in a hurry. The entrance to the palace was inspected extremely harshly, and even the defensive equipment they usually wore were dismantled.
In the past, this was bound to cause turmoil, but this time it did not cause any dissatisfaction.
Because no one has time to struggle in front of the palace gate - the princes of the palace are waiting for Chaoge's decision.
And these families that have just lost their helmsmen must also appear in front of the new king as soon as possible, pay allegiance to the new king, and then, with the support of the new king, compete with their brothers and sisters for the power of the family. To completely and completely obtain the family inheritance.
Especially those who are vaguely aware of the matter of longevity.
It was at this time that Ao Bing's figure appeared in front of the palace gate.
"That's him!" The soldier at the gate recognized Ao Bing's identity immediately, and then sent out a signal to assemble.
