Chapter 315: Spirit Fox
Mountains and rivers change, and the earth shakes the mountains.
The temple is already in ruins, and only one main hall barely stands.
Lu Lie lurked in the snow, pinched a few snowballs and smashed them inside.
Not long ago, he found the remnants of the temple in Fengming Mountain, and rashly went in and encountered demon beasts.
The demon beast initially has a spiritual intelligence, and it does not like to live in an airtight cave, and presses its nest in the houses left behind in the wild villages and towns.
Wait for a moment, nothing happens.
Lu Lie cautiously passed, and the moment he stepped into the main hall of the Buddhist temple, a white light hit his neck.
"You're the one you're waiting for!"
The five fingers were fluffed into claws, and the faint golden light flickered, colliding with the white light.
Tear and pull!
The white light fell to the ground and rolled a few times, and it was a snow-white haired fox with five blood marks on its body.
"Sure enough, it's the Snow Spirit Fox, a windfall!"
When Lu Lie entered the door, he had already found traces of small beast claws in the corner, guessing that it was a spirit fox or a spirit mouse.
These two types of demon beasts are the weakest, and ordinary people can hunt them with tools.
Rat monsters are the most common and have the lowest value, and they rarely have any special value other than being sold as spirit beast meat.
The snow spirit fox is different, with white fur from ice and snow, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the escaping aura can also imperceptibly refine the body, which can be described as invaluable.
It is rare that the spirit fox moves quickly, and it is extremely difficult to find it when it goes into the snow, and there are few fox skins for sale in the market.
Lu Lie tightly blocked the main entrance of the main hall to prevent the spirit fox from escaping.
Whoa!
The snow spirit fox bared its teeth and screamed, threatening to expel it, but did not escape.
Lu Lie looked around the main hall and found that under the Buddha statue, several small heads were looking out.
"Spirit Fox Cub! It's going to be developed! ”
Excited in his heart, he pulled out his waist knife and jumped towards the spirit fox.
It doesn't matter if this spirit fox is killed or not, a young beast is worth ten furs, and the female disciples of the Kunlun Immortal Sect are definitely willing to buy it at a sky-high price.
Whew!
The spirit fox dodged on the left side and pounced on Lu Lie again, with its biting force, it could tear its neck with one bite.
Lu Lie didn't dodge or dodge the blade, and reversed, slashing the neck of the spirit fox.
This treasure knife is made of spiritual ore, and although it is not used in the magic weapon, it is also sharpened like clay.
After the recovery of the aura, the metallurgical industry developed rapidly, especially the Kunlunmen people had the way of refining tools, and established factories in the mundane world to simplify the method of refining weapons and mass produce divine weapons.
Kunlun Sect, at this time, is no longer a simple sect, with the sect as the core, it continues to spread to metallurgy, pharmaceuticals and other industries.
The sword light was close, and the spirit fox's body twisted in the air, and the blade slashed at the hind limbs.
Oh!
With a scream, the spirit fox fell to the ground, limping, and no longer nimble.
Just as he was about to step forward to mend the knife, Lu Lie saw several little foxes, whose hair had not grown, crawling out from under the Buddha statue and licking the wounds of the female fox.
"Huh? In front of other people's children, some are not suitable. ”
Lu Lie's blade was confiscated, and many wild hunters died in the mouths of demon beasts that seemed to have no power to resist.
The spirit of the demon beast is far superior to that of the beast, and it will pretend to be pitiful to win people's sympathy, and then take the opportunity to attack the key point and complete the counter-killing.
"Or ...... Am I blindfolded? ”
Lu Lie blindfolded his eyes with a cloth, and the sword light slashed at the spirit fox again.
Yo Yo Yo!
The young fox screamed anxiously, and the mother fox held the child in her arms, waiting for the sword light to come.
The blade slashed at the neck of the spirit fox, breaking off a clump of hair and stagnating.
"Alas, I still can't do it, my heart is not ruthless enough, and I still dream of cultivating. Fix a fart and go home to marry a daughter-in-law and have children. ”
Lu Lie withdrew the blade, tore off the blindfold, and took a deep look at this nest of fox spirits, this was the closest he had ever gotten rich, but he couldn't do it.
In addition to the Buddha statue where the fox's nest is located, there are other Arhats and Bodhisattvas around the Buddha hall, most of whom lack arms and legs. In addition, there are a few boxes of Buddhist scriptures, which have been sorted out and sealed, and they should have fled from the sky that year, and they didn't have time to take them away.
"We're not destined to get rich, so we shouldn't have seen it."
Lu Lie took out the order to destroy the Buddha, held it in his hand, and slashed all the Buddha statues with a blade.
A few boxes of Buddhist scriptures were moved outside, and a single fire was less clean, and according to past experience, burning sutras would do more benefits than destroying temples.
Lu Lie once thought about brushing up the Buddha spirit, and asked people to print a large number of Buddhist scriptures and burn them to play, but there was no response.
This kind of spiritual object, I don't know which powerful person has an enmity with Buddhism to refine, and it is basically impossible for mortals to deceive him.
A piece of information came into Lu Lie's mind, and it turned out to be an internal refining technique, which can condense qi and blood into internal qi, and there is a certain probability that the peak of refining will be innate.
It's a pity that the exercises are profound, Lu Lie recited it several times, and even guessed that less than one-fifth of them understood.
"Haha, this temple must not be ordinary, maybe it was still a Buddhist place before the sky changed, and it can be exchanged for the method of internal refining."
Lu Lie only felt that the lucky stars were shining brightly today, and no one could stop him when luck came.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of a fox chirping behind him.
Yo Yo Yo!
I saw a little fox in the mouth of the spirit fox, limping over, and eagerly screaming at Lu Lie.
"It's ...... Give it to me? ”
Lu Lie didn't dare to believe the demon beast easily, the long knife was defensive, and he reached out to take the young fox.
Xue Linghu glanced at Lu Lie, turned his head and ran back to the main hall.
The young fox was only half the size of a palm, with a thin layer of fluff on its body, lying in Lu Lie's palm and rolling around, making a faint fox roar, opening its mouth to bite his fingers.
The little fox's teeth were quite sharp, if it weren't for Lu Lie's cultivation of the Cave Golden Finger, he would have tore off the flesh directly.
"I haven't had a vixen? Is this hungry? ”
Lu Lie shouted twice, and the spirit fox didn't come out to take a look, so he could only judge for himself.
Gritting his teeth, he took out a strip of meat from his arms, three inches long and the thickness of his thumb, and carefully handed it to the young fox's mouth.
The little fox smelled the smell of meat, let go of Lu Lie's fingers, hugged the meat strips and nibbled on them, and ate half of them in a few moments. It may be that he was full, lying in the palm of his hand to find a comfortable position, and fell asleep holding half a strip of meat.
"This ......"
Lu Lie actually wanted to take half a strip of meat and eat it himself.
This is demon beast meat, which has been roughly processed by the method of alchemy, and it takes a pound to refine one, and the price is extremely high.
Now only the Celestial Empire produces compressed demon beast meat, and it is rumored that an agreement has been reached with the Kunlun Sect, and the Kunlun Sect has not participated in this industry.
Lu Lie practiced martial arts, and he was willing to use one for three or five days, looking at the little fox like this, one a day is indispensable.
"I was still thinking about giving me a spiritual pet, but I obviously couldn't afford to raise it, so I was fostered here."
Lu Lie said this, but he was full of joy and took the little fox into his arms.
The leather jacket sewn from the demon beast skin, there is a storage compartment on the chest, and there are two layers of animal hair inside, and you will definitely not feel the slightest cold.
"Go to the next place! You have to make money and raise your family quickly! ”
"I heard that the Kunlun Sect helped people contract spirit beasts, and I, a quasi-outer disciple, should add a little bit of money......
……
At this time.
Headquarters of the Celestial Empire Investigation Bureau.
There was a hint of weirdness in the solemn atmosphere.
At this time, the director was not Zhou Mingrui, but the newly promoted Ji Hong, who was the head of the Demon Capital Branch.
The first leaders of the Investigation Bureau were either promoted to the rank of Elder or died at the hands of demons and monsters.
The mortality rate of the Celestial Empire Investigation Bureau, in the special sector of the whole world, is in the middle of the stream.
Originally, with the power of the Investigation Bureau and the Kunlun martial arts inheritance, the mortality rate should have been extremely low, but the Celestial Empire was the area with the most drastic changes, with countless spiritual mountains and rivers, and the demons that bred could be called the most in the world.
The two offset each other, and the Bureau of Investigation has a mortality rate in the middle of the world, about 30%.
It is the sector that is on the front lines of the battle that has such a high mortality rate. That is, in recent years, the Investigation Bureau has an Innate Grandmaster in charge, and it has reached an agreement with several demon kings to reduce casualties.
Ji Hong sat at the head of the conference room, holding a Buddha extermination order in his hand.
This token originally belonged to a folk martial arts master, and after that person obtained the token, he killed more than 30 Buddhist disciples in a row, which became a sensational case.
The Investigation Bureau directly sent an elder-level team to kill this person on the spot to set an example.
This Buddha extermination order fell into the hands of the Investigation Bureau.
After that person's death, the relationship with the Buddha Destroying Order was severed, and as long as he dripped blood to confess the Lord, it completely belonged to the Investigation Bureau.
The purpose of today's meeting is to decide whether or not to destroy the Buddha, after all, unlike the people, the Investigation Bureau represents the attitude of the Celestial Empire.
Moreover, Buddhism is not easy to mess with, there is an awakened person who swallows innate spiritual things, and his strength is not weak at all.
There are no more or no less lucky people of this kind, there are fifty or sixty known people in the world, and it seems that the number is comparable to the elders of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, but one elder or Dharma protector can sweep all the lucky ones.
The power obtained by swallowing spiritual objects, ten percent can exert five achievements, and there is still a gap between exercises, secret arts, magic weapons, and so on.
However, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is already an extremely powerful existence, enough to become the pride of Buddhism.
This is the seventh discussion meeting, and the previous support for opposition is basically the same, and it has been inconclusive.
The order of death was given from above, and today, whether it is extinguished or not, the final conclusion must be reached.
"Vote, it's fairest. Anonymous, one vote per person. ”
A box suddenly appeared in Ji Hong's hand and threw it to the center of the conference table, and what he awakened was an extremely rare spatial ability.
The participants were all real power figures of the Investigation Bureau, and at this time they looked at each other, no one led the vote, and no one knew whether it was right or wrong.
It is said that it is an anonymous vote, but in fact it is to stand in line, and it will be sad if you choose the wrong one.
The deputy minister of the Martial Arts Department was puzzled: "The six elders are not here, we ......"
Although Ji Hong is the director of the bureau, the background of the investigation bureau is six martial arts innates, and they are enough to suppress one party.
"The elders have already voted, they each cast two votes, it's in the box, I didn't look at it."
Ji Hong took out his notebook again, wrote on it, crumpled it and threw it into the ballot box.
Everyone who looked at this looked nervous, and what about the anonymous vote that was good?
Which of the people present is not a dual elite of martial arts and abilities, not to mention distinguishing paper balls, it is exactly the same vote, and you can also know whose vote is through smell and traces.
However, the six elders had already voted, and perhaps now they were secretly observing, and whoever dared to jump out against it would die.
The head of the Awakening Research Department tapped lightly on the table, and the original wooden table top turned into pieces of straw paper, which fell in front of each participant.
"Use this, don't have too much pressure, it's still a few elders who make the final decision."
After saying that, he wrote a word on papyrus in front of him and threw it into the ballot box.
Some people took the lead, and others showed their own talents, trying to avoid their own voting traces.
Ji Hong and everyone else finished voting, pulled over the ballot box, and Tao outward one by one: "Vote verification on the spot." ”
"Extinguish!"
"Extinguish!"
"No!"
"Empty."
"Empty."
"Extinguishing ......"
With the addition of the twelve votes of the six elders, a total of 39 votes, the test was completed quickly.
After Ji Hong finished reading, he crushed the vote with his palm and turned it into a ball of flying ashes, and he could no longer distinguish the voter.
"Eighteen votes are empty, 15 votes are to destroy the Buddha, and 6 votes are not extinguished."
Ji Hong said: "Now that the result is clear, recognize the Lord's order to destroy the Buddha, and find a way to exchange it for exercises." ”
The final decision was issued, and the people who didn't support it were no longer entangled, and turned their heads and began to think about how to get more and better exercises from the Buddha Destroying Order.
"According to the information we investigated, the most direct way is to make enemies of Buddhism and directly kill people in exchange for exercises."
"This path is not suitable for the Investigation Bureau, if we kill people for the sake of strength, we will bring a bad head to everyone, and there will be endless disasters!"
Ji Hong continued: "The second is to burn Buddhist scriptures and destroy temples in exchange for slower exercises, but we have advantages that ordinary people do not have...... Many ancient temples have been attributed to the people, and there are countless unique Buddhist scriptures in the collection......"
Some people objected: "To do so is to make a complete break with Buddhism." ”
"This is the order to destroy the Buddha, and there is no reason in the world to only take benefits and not pay."
Ji Hong shook his head and said, "Even if we don't do this, there will be more than one Buddha Destroying Order. ”
"The strength of Buddhism is not strong, but there are too many believers, and it is easy to have problems when the time comes."
A branch head suggested: "Can we communicate with Buddhism and understand each other, so as not to cause bad consequences?" ”
Ji Hong shook his head and said, "Elder Zhou has already found someone to do this, but unfortunately, the power of refining the Buddha Destroying Order must be paying attention to all this." ”
Only one of the six elders is surnamed Zhou, and that is the first director of the Investigation Bureau, Zhou Mingrui.
"The exercises you practice, when you reach the martial arts innate level, they will be cut off."
Ji Hong's voice was faint: "When the time comes, will you go to Kunlun?" ”
Heart-wrenching words!
Some of the opponents thought for a moment, and suddenly sweated on their foreheads.
What votes to decide whether or not to destroy the Buddha, the six elders, and even above have no other choice at all.
Obviously, it is impossible for the above to decide to destroy the Buddha, but for the future of the Celestial Empire, no longer overly dependent on Kunlun, it is necessary to use the Buddha Destroying Order. So he simply closed his eyes and ignored this matter, and left everything to the investigation bureau below to make a decision, even if something went wrong, someone would take the blame.
After Ji Hong said this, the subsequent meeting was much simpler, and no one mentioned Buddhism anymore, and he had already regarded it as a thing of the past in his heart.
The follow-up methods of currying favor with the Buddha extermination order were determined one by one, and they each received the task before they dispersed.
In the conference room, only Ji Hong was left.
The space was slightly distorted, and a stack of yellow paper fell on the table, and the words on it were the results of the vote.
"The Buddha Gate dares to erode the Investigation Bureau, even if it doesn't destroy the Buddha Spirit, it has to be cleaned! Now it's just right, with what should have been cleaned, in exchange for the future of the Investigation Bureau! ”
Before the meeting, Ji Hong communicated with the Minister of Awakening, who was proficient in the ability of the wood system, and made a piece of straw paper in advance to exist in the space.
The vote has been written for everyone in advance on the piece of paper, and every time Ji Hong reaches out to get the vote, the piece of paper in the space will be replaced.
The destruction of votes is to reassure everyone's hearts and to prevent voting fraud from being discovered.
Now with everyone's original vote, it only needs to be identified by the technical department, and it can be easily identified who is biased towards Buddhism.
Of course, all this Ji Hong is just the executor, and the six elders are behind it.
