"Peng!"
With a cold and strange fragrance, the pill furnace was opened, and eighteen black-gray pills were swirling inside. The appearance is complete, the medicinal properties are not exposed, only a circle of cold white mist is wrapped around the body.
This is called Soul Cultivation Pill, three turns, it is specially used for ghosts and wandering souls.
Gu Yu raised eight wandering souls, one of which was Tan Chongdai's remnant soul, and they had to be raised together until they were identified accurately. They have no consciousness and insufficient strength, basically in the state of salted fish.
Of course, when the remnant soul grows to a certain level, it will become a very powerful helper. Even with exercises, they can generate new consciousness, practice on their own, and finally become ghosts and immortals.
He put eighteen pills into the gourd, and just after removing the protective restraint, he felt Long Qiu's breath, and the golden light escaped, and he returned to Qingxin Lu in a blink of an eye.
"elder brother!"
Long Qiu had been waiting for a while, seeing him coming back, he rushed to meet him.
"what's up?"
Seeing her solemn look, Gu Yu was rather curious.
"Well, I went to Fangshi during the day, and found at least seven people with a sense of qi in their bodies, and they obviously practiced the method of nourishing qi. But they obviously didn't exist before, and they used to be traded by ordinary people..." She will go through.
"Oh, that's right."
Gu Yu didn't look surprised, his expression was indifferent.
"Brother, aren't you worried? I always feel something is wrong, where did they come from?" Long Qiu wondered.
"No matter where it comes from, it has nothing to do with us."
"How can it be okay, what if it is not good for Phoenix Mountain?"
"hehe… "
He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you something today, you probably won't think about these things with your little head."
After saying that, he pointed his right hand, the ground wavered, and two pyramids made of soil slowly rose.
"Xia Kingdom now has two sets of social structures. One is the original one, with the common people at the bottom, officials and rich people in the middle, and a handful of dignitaries at the top. The other is newly formed. The bottom is Houtian, and the middle is the Innate, the one above is me. Do you understand this?"
"En." Long Qiu nodded.
"For the monks, they are happy to leave the government, but for the government, they will never let us form our own society. Because that means that they have completely lost control over the monks. So they must try their best to make this The two systems are integrated, and the more involved, the more they can control.
One of the biggest advantages of the government is resources.
Don't be too narrow, resources are not resources for cultivation, the sky, ocean, land, mountains and rivers, etc. are all resources. Just like Phoenix Mountain, if there is no government endorsement, we will enclose the land and occupy the mountain, and set up a large formation to recruit disciples... Hehe, a missile will blast in.
They have different attitudes towards monks of different classes. For example, for me, it is basically an exchange of interests. This is the rule between me and them. If I want third-grade spirit stones, I must exchange them. If you don't want to, that's fine too. It's a breeze for me to go to the Tianshan Mountains to kill one back and forth.
But you have to remember, if I really do this, they will definitely eradicate Phoenix Mountain at any cost, this is the bottom line of order.
Another example is innate, this is very simple, the management or employment relationship between superiors and subordinates, this is the rule between them.
Then there is the day after tomorrow, this is simpler, with the support of the backer, but without the absolute control of the backer.
With the greatest advantage of resources, on this basis, it is the law and order and the right to punish. With these two items, the two systems will not look so alienated.
An elite policeman can deal with a few criminals, but he will be easily killed by an acquired one. The biggest weapon against monks is the monks themselves.
This is another paradox. If you are afraid of social instability, why not just reduce the number of monks
No, on the contrary, it will increase. Because extraordinary power is the mainstream of the world, the larger the base population, the faster and the more advanced the social transformation.
They need a large number of manpower to explore, develop, enhance national strength and deter Xiaoxiao.
Where did that man come from? One is to win over experts and control rookies. This goes back to the above topic, the government's attitude towards different monks.
Second, it is self-cultivation.
Before I went to Qiyun, Lu Yuanqing revealed some news to me. He wanted me to join the gang and advance and retreat together, which made me gloomy and alarmist.
In fact, he understands better than me that what the government wants is basic strength, and it will not and is impossible to train real masters. From the beginning to the end, they are controlling a general direction, whether it is me, Lu Yuanqing, or the so-called army swordsmanship... everything is to maintain balance until the two systems are completely integrated. "
As he said that, Gu Yu waved his hand again, and the foundation of one pyramid was removed and placed on the foundation of another pyramid.
"At the bottom, there are still ordinary people, but the upper ones have become acquired monks. Above that, there are powerful officials and wealthy people. They will maintain close relationships with some so-called masters, and even make an exception by allowing Taoists to take up a vain job. .Above that, are the real masters and top dignitaries. They will exchange benefits like our previous relationship."
In this way, stacks overlap each other, and finally form a new, tall pyramid. After hearing this, Long Qiu pointed to it and asked, "The one at the top, is it above human immortal?"
"That's right, when the realm above human immortality appears, no one can control it. Of course, they don't have to worry. Human immortals may have some plans. Immortals are all focused on seeking the way, and they don't bother to look at the world."
"..."
Listening to Gu Yu's words, Long Qiu turned his mind a thousand times, and asked, "But, how can they guarantee this? For example, if a bad master suddenly appears to make trouble, then there is nothing to do. "
"Because I'm here." Gu Yu said lightly (zhuang) lightly (bi).
"oh… "
Long Qiu lengthened the syllable, and finally said: "I understand!"
"Do you really understand?"
"Well, let me tell you something, hee hee!"
She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's easy to guess where those people came from. Either they belong to wealthy families like Zeng, Lei, and Yuan. If they can buy Qi nourishing methods, so can others. Either Disciples who violated the rules in various temples, those who were expelled from the school. Either they are folk children, ancient methods passed down by their families, or chances they got by chance. Everyone has their own network of relationships, which will lead to countless people. Of course, there is also a kind of , some people deliberately let it out. But no matter what kind, it will not affect us, as long as they don’t provoke them, they can develop as they like. Because the realm is king, our cultivation base determines everything!”
"Haha, well said, it is the realm that is king!"
Gu Yu said this sentence to Lu Yuanqing at the time, but he didn't want Long Qiu to spit it out verbatim, and laughed immediately.
He had talked a lot today, so he stopped at this point, looked at the other person's pretty face, suddenly his heart moved, and said: "Xiaoqiu, it just so happens that you came to see me, and I have something to tell you."
"What, what?"
Long Qiu seemed to have a premonition, and his expression was unnatural.
"You started a year later than me. Although your aptitude is a bit inferior, it's not too outrageous. In theory, you should have touched the threshold of immortality. Why is there no movement at all, and you don't seem to care too much."
"I, uh... My sister hasn't arrived yet, so I'm not in a hurry."
"What's the reason for this?"
Seeing that she was guilty and evasive, Gu Yu really wanted to come over and spank her buttocks, and said: "No accident, your sister will be almost ready next year... Tsk, look at me!"
Looking left and right, Long Qiu had no choice but to correct his posture and meet his eyes.
"Xiaoqiu, do you remember the first time we met?" He asked.
"Remember."
"Xiao Zhai and I went to find you. You were collecting Gu worms to feed the golden silkworms. When you saw us, your first reaction was to let the golden silkworms attack you. Decisive, calm, and without hesitation! Maybe you were emotionally unstable at that time, subconsciously. It’s a self-preservation reaction, but to be honest, I took you back and raised you in the mountains, and I really took care of you too much. Your temper was originally seven points soft, but now it has become twelve points, which is not a good thing.”
"..."
Long Qiu lowered his head, not wanting to speak.
"Hey, I just want to ask you, do you want to be promoted to Immortal?" Gu Yu sighed.
"think."
After a few seconds, he uttered a word slowly.
"Then why don't you be more active? Immortals want to be different from the mundane world, are you afraid?"
"I didn't, I didn't..." she argued softly.
"Don't dare to face the past, how can you pursue the Dao? I will give you a few months of vacation, go out for a walk, and just come back before the Snake Island rotation."
"elder brother!"
"Go!"
Gu Yu flicked his sleeves, a strong force struck, Long Qiu changed color slightly, flew out of Qingxin Hut with a bang, and landed under the old tree.
As soon as the wooden door was closed, a restriction was imposed.
She was helpless, it seemed that her brother had made up his mind, so he had to go to Xuantian Hall to tidy up and leave some homework for the disciples to practice.
…
About an hour later, Long Qiu and Xiao Jin bid farewell, with tears in their eyes, saying goodbye to each other.
She didn't know that as soon as she came out of the mountain gate, that guy started laughing, and he said incomprehensible words one after another, such as "power alone", "I am the old man catching Xiaoqiu", "GAR280", etc., which attracted everyone. They all burst into laughter, and the air inside and outside the mountain was full of joy.
Gu Yu didn't bother to care about her mental illness, and felt that after Long Qiu really flew far away, he also turned into a golden light and headed eastward, and landed in an instant, but he landed in a mountain depression on the back of Wulong.
Here is full of alienated locust trees, with thin yang and strong yin, it is a good place to nourish the soul. And in the center, there are eight ancient locust trees growing, with strange shapes and entangled branches, like a big net.
What's even more strange is that there is a black ghost-faced fruit hanging from each tree. The four faces of crying, laughing, sad, and happy are constantly rotating with the rotation of the fruit, making the valley even more eerie.
There is no way, Fenghuang Mountain is a spiritual node, yin and yang are balanced, and the five elements are in balance. After searching for a long time, Gu Yu finally found a place for nourishing souls at Wulongbei, so he put the eight wandering ghosts here and slowly nourished them.
