Chapter 518: My Heart Grows Cold
The three surviving factions are the White Sect, the Red Sect, and the Blue Sect. The original name was not like that. During the first extermination, in order to avoid pursuit, the seven major factions had to choose to hide in the world. They used different colors as a code to connect with each other to gather disciples from all over the world. Later, these colors became the names of their denominations. Except for the high-ranking monks and core disciples within the sect, the vast majority of people did not know the true name of their sect.
"We belong to the white faction." The patriarch said, "In our place, the White Sect is the strongest. There are six families and sects, and nearly 13,000 people follow the White Religion. Our White Sect is also the most united of the three factions. The friends of the White Sect are united in the same spirit, and they are the same enemies and demons. Venerable Master, can the little one introduce you to the other five families and sects? β
Mu Wan's trip was originally to meet the Taoist cultivators here. Yes, she nodded in agreement.
Patriarch Chang Xi: "The little one will go and inform the other five families and sects. With that, he bowed with his fists and left the room.
Mu Wan closed her eyes, let out her breath, and checked the situation in the big stone cave.
The main body of the large stone cave is natural, and the surrounding area is slightly expanded, covering an area of less than ten acres. Several stone walls divide the entire stone cave into five areas: east, south, west, north and medium. In each area, wooden planks, thatch and other materials are used to separate large and small houses.
Each area is different in size. The number and size of the rooms inside also vary greatly. Among them, the central district where she is located has the best conditions. The room in which she was housed was the largest and best furnished in the central district: there was a large wooden bed with three layers of soft animal skins; In addition, there is a round wooden table and four round stools; On the table are green jade round belly pots and four round tea cups.
Look at the whole cave again. Among the hundreds of houses, there are tables and stools and jade tea sets, which is the only one. In addition, there are seven rooms with beds; One room has a large offering table and a shrine. These rooms are in the central zone. More of the rooms resemble snow caves, with only animal skins or thatch on the floor. The worst are the outside of the West and North Sides. Right next to the entrance of the cave, it is the shortest and most dangerous area of the cave. In half of the two rooms, adults can't even straighten their waists, so they have to climb in through low doorways. Water seeps on the roof.
Meantime. Mu Wan also noticed. The people who live in these rooms are mortals who don't have spiritual roots. They are either old and frail, or they are incomplete and skinny. I didn't even have any ornaments like a leather rope on my body. Only a ragged skirt made of thatch was tied around the waist to cover the shame.
But. She also noticed that there were also many old mortals living in the Central District.
What's going on?
Mu Wan was very curious, and called softly: "Someone." β
"Yes." A teenager standing at the door immediately pushed the door in. He respectfully asked, "Venerable Master, what do you command?" β
Mu Wan pointed to the round stool in the room and said, "Sit down." I have something to ask you. β
"Yes." His face flushed, and the boy was very reserved, and carefully sat down on the round stool she pointed to. Clench your hands into fists and press them on your knees.
With this look, can you still have a pleasant chat? With his right hand, he pinched a trick in the sleeve of his robe, and Mu Wan waved his sleeve lightly and played an ecstasy.
Immediately, a faint fragrance emanated from the room.
The young man's expression softened. He slowly raised his head and looked at Mu Wan fixedly.
As a Venerable Master, he actually wanted to use such a method to ask a little guy in the Innate Realm. Someone just feels dull on their face. Touching her nose, she tried to ask, "What's your name?" How old is it? β
"My name is Bai Dabao, and I'm twelve years old."
It's already working.
The little guy is only in the congenital realm, and at most he can only be forbidden to be ecstasy for a quarter of an hour. Otherwise, the spell will damage his mind.
So, Mu Wan seized the time and asked directly: "How do you usually allocate accommodation?" β
Bai Dabao replied, "Every year after winter, some people in the clan die. Therefore, after moving back from the tunnel, the clan will redistribute the house. The clan allocates houses according to their ability. Whoever has the most ability will be able to choose a room for himself and his family first. First the ancestors of the foundation building period, then the powerhouses of the qi refining period, then the warriors of the innate realm, and the warriors of the acquired realm. After they have chosen rooms for themselves and their families, the remaining rooms are divided among the clans according to the size of the family. β
"So, the people who live in the worst rooms are old, infirm, and helpless, right?" Mu Wan frowned and asked.
Bai Dabao nodded: "Yes." They can't do anything, they can't give birth to offspring, they can't go out foraging, they're just a bunch of waste. The clan spends a lot of food every year to feed them. In this way, if you encounter demons, you can still block the disaster. β
Listening to the young man spit out such cold-blooded and cruel words, Mu Wan couldn't help but sneer, and secretly said in her heart: Very good. At this point, Xiyan Dao Cultivator has not really reflected on it.
Originally, Mu Wan wanted to gather the people in the "hunting ground" and bring them to the Snow Mountain to settle. However, now she decided to put it off for a while and find out more. If the Dao cultivators here were still the same as their ancestors, with the idea of being above mortals, then she really had to think about it.
That's right, their lives are human lives, but outside, the lives of all living beings in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Kingdom are also human lives. She must not do the kind of stupid thing that saves one group of people and at the same time harms another group of people.
Having made up her mind, she let go of the spell.
The scent in the room quickly faded.
Just a few words of time, it will not cause any damage to Baidabao.
Without waiting for him to fully recover his consciousness, Mu Wan waved his sleeves and said, "Okay, you go out." If there is something, I will call you again. β
"Yes." Wu Dabao got up from the round stool in a panic, clasped his fists and saluted, and retreated.
Mu Wan placed a ban on the door to prevent others from entering the room. Then, she shook her body and returned to the space to practice.
Wu Dabao walked out of the room in a daze, and said to himself, "Did the Venerable Master specially call me in just to ask me my name and age?" It's weird.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance back quickly.
Yes? What about the door?
He was stunned. The door to the room is gone!
I just came out of the door!
Rubbing his eyes vigorously, he opened them again.
That's right, the door to this house is indeed missing!
He couldn't find any trace of the door.
The boy was so frightened that he ran to the altar.
The patriarch had just come out of the "temple" where the altar was installed, and when he saw him running over in a panic, he grabbed the person, lowered his voice, blew his beard and glared: "What are you doing?" Didn't you tell you to stay outside and be ready to listen to the Venerable Master's commands? β
Dabao is his favorite great-grandson. has good qualifications, brains, and self-motivation, and is a top-notch figure among the children of his peers in the clan. Therefore, he announced that he would hand over this errand to Dabao, and the other elders could not find fault with itβWu Changshou and the five of them had only followed the Venerable Master for a few days? Not to mention the good equipment of the whole body, all of them were personally mentioned by the Venerable Master. While the clansmen were envious, jealous and hateful, they all regarded the errand of serving the Venerable Master as a great opportunity. In the end, the errand fell to Dabao, and they had nothing to say, but they all stared at it.
Yes, seeing that his great-grandson did not have a good errand, the patriarch was angry, and scolded in his heart: Little animal, you are too angry!
Bai Dabao pointed to the house behind him: "The door, the door is gone!" β
"What?" The patriarch was taken aback. However, in the end, it is the foundation building monk, who is more knowledgeable. Soon, he realized what was going on, and he angrily rewarded a "hairy chestnut" and reprimanded, "You have made a noise with the Venerable Master?" β
"Nope." Baidabao is not wronged.
In the end, it is his most valued great-grandson, the patriarch saw this, and patiently pointed out: "The door will definitely not disappear out of thin air." That was the Venerable Master's use of a blindfold, or a prohibition. The purpose is not to be disturbed by the tranquility. Dabao, after I left, what happened, you have to tell me 1510, there must be no half of a false word. β
The Great Treasure then told him that the Venerable Master had summoned him in for questioning, and at the end of the day, he said, "When I came out, when I looked back, the door was gone. β
"Only asked your name and age?" The patriarch asked, furrowing his eyebrows, staring at him.
"Hmm." Bai Dabao nodded affirmatively.
The patriarch looked him up and down.
The Hundred Treasures were creepy to watch.
Fortunately, after a while, the patriarch waved his hand: "You continue to wait at the door." Remember, be honest and stay there for me, and don't disturb the Venerable Master's tranquility. β
"Yes." The Hundred Great Treasures received the order and turned to leave.
The patriarch looked at the young man's green back and thought thoughtfully.
After Mu Wan entered the Yuanying Realm, his divine consciousness and spiritual power have undergone a qualitative leap, and many new supernatural powers have been added. For example, in the past, if she was in the space, she could only look outside through the space, and her vision was greatly reduced. And now, she is in the space, but she can leave a divine sense outside. It was as if the whole cave was under her nose.
The patriarch's calculating eyes, she "saw" clearly, as if she had swallowed a fly, how disgusting she was. For a while, my heart was full of meaning.
However, seeing the mortals who were as busy as worker ants in the big stone cave, she sighed, gathered her luck, and continued to practice.
The patriarch was a man of great discernment. Seeing that Yuan Ying Da Neng had a clear attitude and did not like anyone to disturb him, he immediately ordered that no one should come near the house where the Venerable Master was resting.
Mu Wan got her wish and fell quiet.
Two days later, the patriarchs and heads of the other five families and sects arrived one after another. Among them, the head of the Jade Void Sect was the last to arrive.
They were covered in blood, and they were put into the big stone cave by a team of hundreds of children who were responsible for welcoming them, and they were extremely embarrassed.
