Mobile reading
Qin Mu didn't bother to take care of him, so he said to the ghost spider: "Since the Soul Suppression Stone is so useful to you, then you can keep it."
The ghost spider smiled: "It's better for you to keep it, although I can turn into a human body now, I still don't like to become a human very much, let's follow you with my own body, when you cultivate, take out the soul suppression stone again"
After speaking, without waiting for Qin Mu to answer, the ghost spider's body changed again, turning into a black spider, but compared to before, his body was now only the size of an egg, and it fell directly on Qin Mu's shoulder.
Qin Mu smiled, put the Soul Suppression Stone into the storage bag, glanced at the Condensing Flower again, and said, "Don't you want the Condensing Flower?"
"Actually, the Condensation Flower is of no use to me, and I don't need it with the Soul Suppression Stone, but it has always been there, we have coexisted for decades, of course, others are not allowed to finger it, but now that I want to leave here, you will dispose of the Condensation Flower."
Die Qingxue chuckled and said, "Qin Mu, although the Condensing Flower is not of much use to you, it is better than nothing, you can take it."
"Isn't it useful to you?" Qin Mu glanced at Die Qingxue.
"Of course, it's also a little useful, but it's similar to you, it's not very useful, it can be said that the Condensing Flower is no longer very useful to people in the early stage of refining the gods, unless it's those who are really not very talented."
Qin Mu smiled slightly, and said, "Then let's keep it, how can I say it, it is also a rare spirit flower, and it is very useful for the Innate Great Perfection."
As soon as the words fell, Qin Mu stretched out his hand to grab it, and the pillar of condensation flower rose from the ground and quickly floated in front of him, and Qin Mu then took out a jade box and put it away.
Then, Qin Mu took off into the air and quickly left the island.
"Tianping Continent is really like its name, like a peaceful and prosperous era" Qin Mu flew slowly over Tianping Island, looking at the lives of the inhabitants of the island below, compared to Tianping Island, it was simply a world of difference.
Although there are also rich and poor here, some have a lot of money, and some are poor, but there is no oppression in them, at least they are not as humble as the inhabitants of Skystorm Island.
But at this moment, Wen Ge's voice sounded from Qin Mu's heart: "Everything can't just look at the surface"
"What do you mean it's an illusion?"
"No, I'm just going to tell you something like that."
Qin Mu smiled and didn't say anything more, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by a lively scene on the ground, and his body stopped.
Below is a more prosperous town, in the center of the town but built a Buddhist hall, covering an area of 100 zhang, although there is no splendid decoration, but still looks tall and magnificent, solemn, the temple came from the low sound of beating wooden fish and chanting, and bursts of sandalwood permeated, floating in the air.
At this time, a large number of people gathered in the square in front of the temple, and it can be seen from their attire that these are all ordinary people, although there are rich and poor, old people and children, young people with dignified appearances, and young girls like flowers, but no matter who they are, everyone now has the same look on their faces, that is, solemn and pious.
In front of the temple gate, there are four monks wearing yellow monk's robes and scars on their heads standing there, all four of them have their eyelids lowered, their hands folded and their mouths continue to whisper, looking very solemn.
And among these four monks, there is also a platform, on which there is only a Buddha shrine, which enshrines a golden Buddha, with a fat head and big ears and a smile, which is the very common image of the Buddha, nothing special.
The only special thing is that the villagers who keep coming forward to worship, each of them will bow down respectfully and bow three times when they come to the Buddha shrine, and whisper all the words of prayer, and then they will walk to the Buddha shrine, bite their fingertips and squeeze out a drop of blood, and then point on the red dot on the center of the Buddha statue's eyebrows, and continue for two breaths, and then the villager retreats, and the next one repeats his movements, exactly the same.
If it's just worshipping the Buddha, such a scene can't explain anything, it's a normal situation, but I've never heard of worshipping the Buddha and using your own blood to tap the eyebrows of the Buddha statue, what does this mean.
In this regard, Qin Mu was very puzzled, he was not unfamiliar with the matter of worshipping Buddha, and it was also in the original realm, it was people's yearning for a better life, although it was useless, but at least it would give him a comfort in his heart, and it would not hurt.
"Wenge, have you ever seen this habit of worshipping Buddha?"
"How do I know, although there are also Buddhist and Taoist sects in the Heavenly Domain, and they are very powerful, and I have seen hundreds of thousands of people worshipping the scene, but this is the first time I have seen this kind of worship in front of me, maybe the place is different, the customs are also different, there is nothing to make a fuss about"
At this time, the ghost spider suddenly spoke: "I have heard that the lord of Tianping Continent is a monk, and all the people under his command are monks, they will accept the incense of the people here, but they will also benefit them, if there is any natural disaster such as drought, flood, plague and other natural disasters in that part of the island, they will help and relieve the suffering of the people, so on Tianping Continent, the Lord of Tianping is the person with the highest prestige, and he is the god worshiped by all the residents of the island."
"Many people know this, but as for what kind of worship method, no one cares, anyway, as a casual cultivator, it is impossible to believe in him."
Qin Mu nodded and said, "It's normal for them to be able to help these ordinary people so much, and to be loved by them, I'm just a little puzzled by their way of worshipping."
"Things are indeed a little wrong" Die Qingxue suddenly spoke, with some displeasure in her tone.
"What's wrong?"
"I took a closer look, the blood of each villager's fingertips pressed on the eyebrows of the Buddha statue, it will be actively absorbed, although the blood absorbed is not much, even only a few drops, but when the Buddha statue absorbs those blood, I can feel that the soul power of the villagers will be weaker."
Hearing this, Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, and said, "You can feel the situation of their souls."
Die Qingxue snorted angrily: "I am the Spirit Devouring King Butterfly, I can feel any spiritual power, although the soul is ethereal, but a person's soul is connected to their own spirit, the fluctuation of the soul, of course I can feel it, and these are just some ordinary people, even if you are careful, you can do it, however, you have to add the unity of heaven and man."
Qin Mu didn't say anything more, but immediately entered the state of unity between heaven and man, and then spread out his divine sense, wrapping the worshippers below, and when the other party pressed his bloody fingertips on the center of the Buddha statue's eyebrows, he carefully felt the fluctuations of the other party's soul.
One by one, the people walked in front of the Buddha statue, came with pious people, and then retreated with good wishes, and there was absolutely no noise at all, it was so solemn.
After investigating the situation of more than a dozen people, Qin Mu dispersed his divine consciousness and the unity of heaven and man, but his face was not very good-looking, and he said in a low voice: "That's true, when the blood of those people is absorbed by the Buddha statue, their soul power will also be sucked away, but there are not many, so they don't seem to have any discomfort."
Die Qingxue snorted coldly: "Although this is true, but they are just ordinary people, the weakening of their soul power will reduce their lifespan, and looking at their appearance of worship, it is obviously impossible to have only one time, once is not hindering these people, but if there are more times, it will be different."
Qin Mu's expression changed slightly, looking at the eyes of the monks below, they all became extremely cold, he thought that this was a place of peace and security, but he didn't expect that it would be like this on the surface, but behind it was dirt and dirt, what is the difference between this and the situation on Tianli Island, perhaps the only difference is that one is in the light and the other is in the dark, one is that the people know what they are suffering, and the other is kept in the dark, and they continue to worship that person loyally.
"As a disciple of Buddhism, not only are the six roots pure, the four are empty, but he also did such a despicable thing, it's really damn it" Qin Mu's most difficult thing to accept is that the monk oppresses ordinary people, in his mind, the monk is a monk, there is a world of monks, and ordinary people are ordinary people, there is a world of ordinary people, the two can prosper together, but monks can't rely on their own strength to interfere in the world of ordinary people, let alone wantonly deprive them, but since he came to the cultivation realm, the thing he least wants to see happens around him, And everywhere abounds.
As soon as Qin Mu's words landed, Wen Ge said in his heart: "Boy, you'd better not be impulsive, the situation here is different from Tianping Island, you can see the trickiness in it, but these people can't see it, even if you kill these monks now, you will only be hated by the people, and they will still have no change in their faith in the Lord of the Balance, it can be said that the end of this is that you are enemies of everyone in the Balance Continent, and you won't get anything, let alone save these people."
Die Qingxue also said: "You still don't have to ask about this matter, you can't change anything, unless you have the ability to kill the Lord of Tianping and everyone under his command, and then you will become the sinner of Tianping Continent through the ages."
Qin Mu snorted coldly: "There will be a day, as for whether I will become a sinner of Tianping Continent through the ages, I don't care, what I do is not to get anything from others, whether it is their gratitude or resentment, it doesn't matter to me, the important thing is that I just want peace of mind."
Hearing this, Wen Ge sighed secretly and didn't say anything anymore, while Die Qingxue and the ghost spider all glanced at him, they didn't expect Qin Mu to say such a thing.
Die Qingxue then said: "Then what do you want to do, go down and kill them now?"
