While Wang Zong and Dumoscone were talking, a portal suddenly opened in the void, and then Saito walked out of it.
Dumoscone was taken aback, and then saw that it was Saito Ichi who calmed down, although Saito Ichi had never seen Frankenstein after plastic surgery, but Dumoscone knew Saito in the "Van Helsing" mission. However, this time he had a secret meeting with Wang Zong, and he also used magic techniques to set up various tests around him to prevent leaks, but Saito Yi broke in without warning, which had to make him secretly sigh at the magic of the Eastern Dao.
In fact, with Saito's current cultivation, he still can't make the Bliss Spirit House escape into the void, coming and going invisibly, because tearing the void and escaping into the void is the ability of the Six Tribulations Ghost Immortals. Whether it is the Five Elements Escape Technique, the Shifting Formation or the Concealment Illusion Technique, there are still traces to be found in the current Bliss Spirit House, but people who are too low level cannot detect it. Now the arrival of Saito Ichi is enough to make Du Moskang unpredictable, but without some careful arrangements in advance, he can't hide Wang Zong's induction.
During this time, Saito Ichi had been in the north, and in addition to passing on some of the "Seven Evil Séance Spells" granted by Shi Jian to Alice, he was also busy communicating with monks and technicians from the northern government. Although the strength of the monks in the north is not as strong as that in the south, with the power of the north in charge of half of the country, it has also gathered many strange people, each of whom has its own unique skills and has no lack of exchange value. In particular, the way of combining magic weapons with modern gunpowder and weapons made by Zhang Enbo and others also has many eye-catching results. In addition, Saito Ichi also handed over some scientific and technological drawings and a full set of exhibition plans suitable for the scientific and technological level of the north to the scientific and technological personnel in the north, so as to comprehensively improve the scientific and technological level of the north.
After all, a complete industrial system. It covers a series of complex and interlocking industrial chains such as mining, metallurgy, electric power, fuel, chemical industry, machinery manufacturing, etc., plus the relevant education system, skilled worker training and supporting infrastructure. It is simply impossible to bring a few sets of drawings of the Gundam, Apocalypse Tank, and Star Destroyer to solve the problem. With the industrial foundation of old China, which could not even produce qualified screws, and the social organization model of scattered sand. No matter how good the scientific and technological drawings are, they are just on paper, and in the end they may be cheaper for outsiders. Therefore, Saito only gave Chen Ho a set of science and technology exhibition directions, education and industrial planning, plus a set of China's mineral resources distribution map. It is only now, with the initial industrialization of the north, that it is possible to accept relatively advanced technology.
In addition, Saito Ichi was also responsible for replacing Chu Xuan and exchanging information on alchemy, related technologies, and the world of ghosts and gods. As a reserve player that Chu Xuan had booked many years ago, Du Moskang's role should not be underestimated, for example, the "Angel Dust" transformation technology he provided last time made Zhan Lan's strength jump by one or two steps. In a way, Dumoscone and Alesia are both supernumerary researchers of the Middle-earth team. However, Dumoscon's credible Cheng dù is far above Alesia.
Originally, things were not so urgent, but after such a serious accident, after receiving a message from Wang Zong, Saito had already arrived.
"There is no help......" After checking Shi Shaojian, who had just been unsealed by Wang Zong's Five Thunders, Saito shook his head helplessly, in the soul realm, he was undoubtedly a more authoritative professional than Wang Zong. It is an iron law that it is difficult for gods to directly intervene in the material world, although séances can subvert this iron law. But the price paid by oneself is also huge, and the load of divine power will only result in the soul flying away and never living. What's more, Anubis's priesthood also has the fundamental attribute of harvesting souls. Even if Shi Shaojian still has a little remnant soul, he must have been included in the Anubis Divine Domain.
After determining that there was no help, Wang Zong and Saito could only remove the residual death aura from Anubis for Shi Shaojian's body. He also took out a medical repair system from the West American team to repair the damage caused by the "Mihiro Observation Sword". Anyway, it didn't make him look too miserable.
"Then it's time to negotiate with Shi Jian next, how do you think he will react?" Wang Zong asked.
Saito thought for a moment. Then he said: "Uncle Shi is not a broad-minded person, but he is not a reckless man, now that he has started a sect, he must act with scruples. And on the surface, this matter is Shi Shaojian's collusion with the exotic evil gods, wanting to be unfavorable to Huaxia Daoists and the people, and spreading it is a lot of damage to his reputation, and if he retaliates for this, it is even more despicable, so he will definitely not do it. In addition, there is a conspiracy behind this matter, if Shi Jian fights with us for this, wouldn't it just fulfill the wishes of the conspirators, and it is also a fool's move. But in any case, Shi Shaojian's matter is also related to us after all, and the final physical injury is your hand, Shi Jian can't be completely relieved of this, and it is inevitable that he will hold a grudge and seek revenge, our original good friendship with him is now completely ruined. ”
Dumoscone, who was on the side, suddenly said, "If this person is really important, I have another way to resurrect him." ”
"His soul is gone, all that's left is the walking dead, even if he is resurrected, what's the point?" Saito frowned, puzzled.
"If the soul is gone, you can also replace it with the 'Philosopher's Stone', like me. Du Moskang pointed to his forehead, which was wider than ordinary people, Wang Zong and Saito knew that there was actually a glimmering gem hidden there, but after Chu Xuan's transformation and many subsequent self-plastic surgeries, it would no longer be revealed.
"Originally, I was just a monster made up of countless corpses, but with the 'Philosopher's Stone' as the soul core, I can also be regarded as having a soul, and I can use all spells involving the soul. After Du Moskang finished speaking, he pointed to Shi Shaojian and said, "This person just has no soul, but his brain has not suffered any damage, as long as he implants the 'Sage Stone', he can also become a storage similar to me, and have memories of the past." However, his temperament may change drastically, because the 'Philosopher's Stone' was originally made of a large number of souls and lives, and most of the things I have hunted over the years are the Dark Lady who is the enemy of the Holy See, and the few 'Philosopher's Stones' that I have secretly refined are also dark and evil in nature, which will cause a certain negative impact. ”
"That doesn't seem to make much sense......" Saito shook his head slightly, leaving aside the side effects of this plan for the time being. But the key is that Shi Jian is a senior ghost immortal, and he is also a master in terms of spirits. This kind of stealing beams and pillars against souls can't be hidden from him at all. It might be counterproductive.
"Even if you have become a ghost immortal, it is still difficult to give up the attachment to Hongchen's kinship......" Thinking that the master was also reluctant to give up his son who died young, so as to refine it into a spirit corpse, Saito was silent for a moment and then said: "Next, I will tell Uncle Shi the truth, if he is willing to accept this plan, it will not be too late." ”
Wang Zongti said: "I'll go with you and return Shi Shaojian to Shi Jian." ”
But Saito shook his head and refused: "No need, there's nothing wrong with what you said about this." There is no reason to come to the door to make amends, and in terms of your character and his nature, it is more likely that you will come to the door to directly conflict. I'll take care of it, I'll avoid conflict with him, and try to convince him to cooperate with us in finding out who is behind it. ”
Wang Zong did not object, he also knew that although Saito Yi had not yet survived the Triple Thunder Tribulation, with the Bliss Spirit House and the Six Dao clones, he would not necessarily suffer a loss against Shang Shi Jian, even if he was defeated. The chance of being killed is also extremely low.
After a short silence, Wang Zong suddenly said: "Speaking of the mastermind behind the scenes, I suspect that it has something to do with one person. ”
"Who is it?" asked Saitoichi and Dumoscone in unison.
"The ancestor of the consistent Tao is in the middle of the road. Wang Zong added: "Although there is no real evidence, this matter is from beginning to end. Lu Zhongyi has the greatest profit, and the power used by the mastermind behind the scenes is also likely to be some kind of forgery of the saint to deceive the divine grace, which has a lot in common with "Please God**". Ultimately. Although it is unlikely that Lu Zhongyi is the mastermind behind the scenes, it is really not small that there is some kind of connection and tacit understanding with him. ”
"You have a point. According to the information I have recently learned, the ambition of this person is really not small!" Saito nodded. "As far as I know from the Northern Intelligence System, he is making a plan to bring all the Zongsi temples in Huaxia under his control and form a 'Heavenly Court on Earth'!"
"'Heavenly Court on Earth'?" Dumoscone shook his head when he heard this, "Isn't this to reproduce the glory of the Western Holy See in the Middle Ages, or even go further?"
Saito smiled and replied: "You must know that since ancient times, the gods of China have used a strong administrative and life color. From birth, old age, sickness and death, wind and rain, public order, monitoring of public conditions, punishment of evil and promotion of good, all aspects have corresponding gods responsible. For ordinary people, the gatekeeper has his own door god, the evil spirits and ghosts are Zhong Kui, the public opinion is supervised, the fortune is Fu Lushou, the son is Guanyin, the rain is the dragon king, and the old man is responsible for the old and the dead...... This is a complete and self-consistent system of social rules, and they are all controlled by the heavenly court. What Lu Zhongyi did was to try to replace the ancient Heavenly Court by him, to dominate this system, to fully control every Chinese, to integrate politics and religion, and even to override the regime. ”
It is not surprising that he must have had this ambition since he founded the Consistent Way. Wang Zong sneered and shook his head: "But this time is not ancient, and now the power of the Divine Dao in Huaxia can still do this?"
"There is still a certain possibility, because back then, the Emperor of the Dome made the Heavenly Road reappear for a quarter of an hour, and it was not only the cultivators who descended from it, but also the Shinto!" Saito shook his head, "Many temples and temples have lowered the Shinto runes, and if those sigils are not inherited and accepted by the right person, they will naturally dissipate in the power of incense after a little time." However, if someone accepts it, they can inherit part of the priesthood, use the power of faith in the temple, operate supernatural powers, and practice with incense. ”
"How can there be such a thing?" Wang Zong was surprised when he heard this, and asked again: "Are there many people who inherit the priesthood?"
"No, very little!" Saito shook his head: "The inheritor of the sigil must not only be a devout person, but also the divine soul must have enough spirituality. However, Huaxia has been cut off from reincarnation for hundreds of years, and only a small number of ghosts with profound cultivation and merit can be reincarnated by chance, and the vast majority of the rest are newborns who have spontaneously generated souls, and the spirituality of the world is far from enough, and they cannot withstand the Shinto rune. And the Emperor of the Dome has almost all the wandering souls and wild ghosts in the same place, and the newborns after this have no worldly spirituality to speak of, and the statement of the end of the law era is not a lie.
But even so. There are at least more than 100 people who can inherit the Shinto rune in the entire Huaxia. Moreover, many of them are not humans, but a small number of old ghosts who do not want to go with the Emperor of the Dome. Or some goblins.
Originally, the temple under the control of the Consistent Dao also inherited the Shinto sigil and broke away from the control of the Consistent Dao, which made the original power of the Consistent Dao suffer a lot. Lu Zhongyi and the others are using all kinds of coercion and temptation to try to make the rune holders turn to their own command and form a 'Heavenly Court on Earth'. However, the use of faith incense by the people who hold the Shinto sigil is far from being comparable to the simple borrowing of the masterless faith by the believers, and on their territory, it is closer to half of the divine realm. In the middle of the road, I didn't dare to blindly use force, so as not to attack the crowd. However, the consistent way is strong after all. Now in the southern region, there are nearly a few demigod rune holders who have taken refuge in the consistent way, either explicitly or covertly. If Lu Zhongyi can really study something, make his own runes, and edict the world, then what kind of situation will it be, you can imagine!"
"Good guy......" Wang Zong sighed when he heard this: "In this way, Lu Zhongyi still retained a lot of strength before, if he really let Lu Zhongyi dominate all the Divine Dao Seals, what benefits would he gain from the foreign Divine Domain or Qin Ling." Successfully formed the 'Heavenly Court on Earth', maybe he can really follow in the footsteps of the Emperor of the Dome and the Netherworld, become a world of his own, and leave the world. ”
"From a certain Cheng dù to speak. If Lu Zhongyi has enough virtue, then this is also a feat of immeasurable merit. The Emperor of the Dome deliberately passed down the "Please God**", maybe there is also a deep meaning in this regard, creating another opportunity for the remnants of the Shinto people in China. Saito shook his head and said, "Those rune holders are less restrained. There are also many people who act recklessly because of this. In the north, there was a Manchu old man who obtained the local city god sigil and was able to abide by the priesthood at the beginning. With the method of falling asleep, he tortured the local thugs at night, winning praise and incense. But after a few years, he gradually degenerated, often dreaming of asking the locals for offerings, and was insatiable, making the locals dare not speak. A disciple of Maoshan who worked in the government went to investigate the incident, but he forcibly detained his soul and tortured him. Then Master Yimei personally traveled with his soul, and only then did he disperse his Shinto sigil along with his soul. A person who was originally knowledgeable and reasonable has obtained the priesthood, let alone ghosts and monsters?
But with the virtue of the one in the road, there is no doubt that he cannot be overseered. Back then, he even wanted his disciples to transfer a thunder god rune to Shi Shaojian, and teach Shi Shaojian to ask for the law of the gods, so as to entrap Shi Jian, but unfortunately Shi Jian didn't appreciate it, so it didn't work. Such nepotism shows that this person really can't talk about being upright.
However, judging from this incident, Lu Zhong had the idea of beating Shi Shaojian early in the morning, and now Shi Shaojian is suffering from the power of Shinto, in this regard, I will implicitly remind Shi Jian. ”
After the two sides agreed, they exchanged alchemy, spells, technology, and some information, and Saito took Shi Shaojian, who was only physically left, and stepped into the void to open the portal and disappeared. Although he can't escape into the void yet, for ghosts and immortals, Jin Dan, and characters below heaven and man, it is actually no different from escaping into the void.
………………………………
At dawn, Wang Zong also quietly came to a suburb in the north of Poyang Lake, under the Lushan Mountain, without attracting anyone's attention.
The exhibition in southern China has always been quite deformed, except for the most prosperous cities such as Shanghai and Nanjing, most of the areas still retain a dilapidated and backward "original ecology". Like the area where Wang Zong is now, surrounded by Poyang Lake, the Yangtze River, and the Jiujiang River, there is not an inch of useless land, and the top of the mountain is very fertile paddy fields, and the products are very rich, and it should not be a poor place. But unfortunately, the water level of the Yangtze River soared last year, and a dam that was built not long ago collapsed due to cutting corners in the project, and most of the local area became a valley. After the disaster, the rescue and organizational reconstruction of the southern government was as bad as ever, and it only did a relatively good job in strictly preventing the victims from fleeing north and preventing the north from taking the opportunity to intervene in the revolution, so until now it is still in ruins, everywhere is like a muddy pond, filled with the smell of mud and the rotten smell of the corpses of various animals and plants, all kinds of plagues, locusts, and schistosomiasis are rampant everywhere, thieves are swarming, and the victims are all yellow and thin, and they are in rags.
Now in front of Wang Zong are dozens of white medical tents set up on a relatively dry and flat plateau, with red cross markings, the ground is filled with lime, and there are many refugees gathered around, and many workers in white coats, many of them are golden-eyed foreigners, but they are local aid stations laid by the International Red Cross. Although the southern government is rotten, it has at least one advantage over some powerful governments that want to save face, that is, they are thick-skinned enough, and anyway, they think they are backward countries and lead the relief of various countries, so they don't mind exposing their most backward and miserable side to outsiders, and deceiving some foreign rescuers and some painless "friendly surprises".
A hint of surprise rose uncontrollably on Wang Zong's face, if it weren't for the information provided by Dumoscão and the unmistakable sensing of the ring on his hand, he really couldn't imagine that Akado would be hidden in it. In his impression, the place to accompany Accardo should be a desolate and mysterious castle or a deep Gothic church, if she wants to come to China in any capacity one day, most of them will be a song and dance troupe opera house or the like, but he didn't expect that she would use the International Red Cross as an identity to cover up.
There are many refugees gathered around, and although the workers try their best to provide assistance, it seems that they are a little bit of a drop in the bucket. One of them, a skinny woman who had been bound by her feet since she had been a child, had deformed her feet and swayed step by step, and was holding a skinny baby with a bulging belly in her arms, and she could not squeeze into the front of the refugee queue several times. The baby's small mouth grows up, and it seems to cry, but it doesn't make any sound. Seeing that the baby's breath was getting weaker and weaker, the woman let out a miserable cry for help, but was drowned out by the clamor of people.
Wang Zong didn't seem to pay much attention to this, and his figure swept past without anyone noticing. However, the baby, who had been dying before, suddenly regained his breath and began to cry out with full breath, and in addition to this, the dozen or so refugees in the worst condition of the crowd also suddenly improved and lifted their spirits.
Almost no one noticed, a large area of water and grass that had grown luxuriantly around them had shown a withering momentum, but Wang Zong borrowed some of the grass essence into their bodies, although he was unlikely to spend too much time and energy for a group of refugees who did not know each other, but he might as well raise his hands to help.
"Hehe, you're finally here!" a familiar voice came directly into his mind, evoking many memories of his past and making his heart skip a beat.
When I lifted a tent, I saw a beautiful and slightly thin face, not like the well-defined and round face of ordinary Westerners, and it looked like a young girl who had not yet fully opened, and there was no cumbersome and gorgeous shape on her head, but simply a dark purple supple long coil on the top of her head. A pair of sunglasses obscured her eyes and a third of her countenance, giving her three points of mystery and four points of coldness that was difficult to approach. A plain and wide white overalls completely concealed her impeccable figure, and only a pair of hands that were as white as mutton fat and white jade were quite eye-catching.
On the whole, the first feeling she gives people is not so amazing and special, but it is by no means the woman you may see everywhere on the street, if you taste it carefully, you can slowly feel the hidden behind the ordinary, the dark mystery, the sadness of death, the forbidden love, the pain of confusion, the temptation of depravity, and the arrogant taste of life and death between gestures.
Almost every time they meet, she can always give Wang Zong big or small surprises, and this time is no exception!
"You...... Why are you here?" After being stunned for a moment, Wang Zongcai asked with complicated thoughts.
"Isn't that strange?" the woman removed her eyes, revealing a pair of crimson eyes like demonic gems, as if a layer of concealment had been removed, and a mysterious charm that made her mouth dry and her heart turbulent.
"Just as a money-greedy person is best suited to become a banker, then isn't the International Red Cross, which has controlled nearly half of the world's blood transactions, the best place for me to stay?" Akado showed a meaningful and charming smile, leaning forward, and the mysterious aroma of his breath even completely covered the man's face, "Besides, I can eat enough without killing people, and I can do good deeds everywhere to save people, isn't that what you would like to see?"
