Time flies, time flies. Time seemed to be completely meaningless for cultivation, and every time Wu Xie came out of retreat, he would find that another period of time had passed.

Unconsciously, some of the junior disciples of this group of beginners have already stepped into the innate realm, and they are slowly cultivating and growing.

And among the outer disciples taught by Uncle Yiyunzi, they are also cultivating hard, and compared with the disciples who are in front, the main difference is that the foundation is unstable, and they need to lay a solid foundation. As long as they can make up the foundation and break through the innate realm, they can be officially included in the door wall, and their treatment and identity will not be any different from Wu Jie.

"Senior Brother Tao, has anything happened in this sect during this time?" When Wu Xie was walking in the mountains, he happened to see the clay taking care of Lingtian, and asked casually

The clay shook his head, and dragged a few talisman wooden figures to carefully tidy up the spiritual field, under his management, the spiritual fields of Qingyang Guan, which were no different from the weedy fields, had obviously changed, although they were still a bit sparse and messy, at least the spiritual herbs and elixirs that grew in the fields were already spiritual herbs, not those useless weeds.

Doing this is not a mandatory task, but a task that the clay himself asks to take. During this time, he was studying the Fu Fa Wood Man, which is a technique that combines Fu and refining weapons, which can create special dolls with a certain amount of intelligence and mana, these puppets have intelligence similar to that of people, and can also use some spells, which is most suitable as a servant of the Immortal Gate.

It's a pity that the spiritual wisdom possessed by the Fufa Wood people is actually just a projection deliberately instilled by the maker. They don't really have a spiritual surname, no matter how delicate and meticulous they are, no matter how clever and powerful they are, they are only "instruments" and not "lives" after all.

Relatively speaking, the spirit surname conceived by heaven and earth, even if it is only a star and a half, is also the beginning of life, and from the starting point, it has stood at a height that these rune wood people can never reach.

Of course, the refiners can also refine magic weapons with a spirit surname, and even a magic weapon with a spirit surname that is fully awakened and can communicate freely with the master. But the spirit surname cannot be created out of thin air, either it must be transferred from those things that also have a spirit surname, or it must be cut from the refiner's own soul, or it can only be handed over to time to leave the most difficult work to the long years.

Theoretically, the Fufa Wood People can also be transformed into real life through the accumulation of time, but no one has been able to solve this research topic until now.

"Impossible! In the same body, there is no way to give birth to two spiritual surnames. Jasmine said, "A lot of people have tried back then, if these man-made things are instilled with a false spirit surname, then there is no way to give birth to a real spirit surname, unless the false spirit surname dissipates, it is possible to rely on the little traces left behind, and slowly give birth to the spirit surname - but that is not the desired effect, right?"

Wu Xie nodded, Jasmine said very reasonably, since the Fufa Wood people already have a spirit surname, there is no way to give birth to a spirit surname - even if its spirit surname is false, it will take away the opportunity to give birth to a real spirit surname.

This idea can be used to solve the problem of whether robots are human in science fiction, but unfortunately the world in which Wu Xie is located is the world of Xianxia, and there are supernatural things - the surname of the spirit, the soul, these are supernatural.

In the world where such supernatural elements exist, robots—or rather, runic wood people—no matter how cleverly designed, no matter how perfect their intelligence, are just fakes after all.

The clay didn't think about such an esoteric issue, he was just constantly refining his technique, hoping to create a more excellent talisman wooden figure.

As a refiner, he wasn't good at fighting, and the Aoki Immortal Technique he cultivated wasn't designed for combat at all. But as a monk, he will inevitably encounter situations where he needs to fight, so he also needs the means to improve his combat effectiveness.

The combat power of the Fu Fa Wood People may not be very strong, but they are better than the ever-changing means, and they are one of the most favorite combat tools used by refiners. These inconspicuous little things can bring out the wisdom of the refiner to the fullest and transform it into a reliable combat power, and most of the famous refiners today are good at making and using them.

Wu Xie looked at Lingtian for a while, and made some suggestions on the design of the "intelligence" of these talisman wood figures, and he nodded again and again.

Most of these suggestions come from the science fiction works he has seen in his previous life, and the ideas for robots in those science fiction works are really exquisite, even if they are just simple fantasies, they are also very valuable for reference.

When he was about to leave, Tao Tu suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, although nothing has happened in this gate, there is a great event in the world. ”

"What's the matter?" Wu Xie stopped.

"A short war broke out between the Great Chu State and the Great Han State, and the Western Army of the Great Chu could not resist the Teng Snake Army of the Great Han, and it was about to be destroyed. However, the Great Han did not attack Changning City in such a blust, but stopped and signed an armistice agreement with Dachu. ”

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment and frowned: "Why don't I know anything about this?"

"Because it's very short." Tao Tu said, "From the start of the battle between Chu and Han to the defeat of the Western Army, it was a matter of half a day in total. Then the Great Chu State was preparing to gather the strength of the whole country to fight to the death, but the envoy of the Great Han had already come to Changning City, and immediately signed an armistice agreement and left. ”

He said and sighed: "Not to mention you, Senior Brother, who was in retreat at the time, even I, who had been paying attention to the situation on the Chu-Han border, didn't have time to react at all!"

"What exactly does an armistice look like?" Wu Xie asked.

"What else could it be? Indemnity for land cession. Tao Tu sighed, "Although the requirements of the big Han are actually not high, compared to the absolute advantage they have achieved, it can be said that they are amazingly kind." Moreover, their army is very restrained, and they have not committed any crimes in the autumn where they have passed, which is simply better than our own army of the Great Chu State...... However, more than 300 years after the founding of the Great Chu State, it is the first time that such an agreement to lose power and humiliate the country has been signed!"

Wu Xie was silent, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

Although logically speaking, there is nothing to be condemned for what the Great Han State has done - it is a tradition since ancient times that no one can accuse them of being wrong, on the contrary, their performance in this war can really be used as a model to be respected and learned by future generations. But Wu Xie was still very uncomfortable in his heart. As a native of Chu, seeing his country being bullied, he obviously has the strength to do something for it, but he can't make a move, which is really depressing!

But he really can't make a move! If the Great Han State is still attacking the Chu State, it will be fine, now that the war has long ended, and the armistice agreement has been signed, if he makes another move, he will deliberately violate the iron law of separating immortals and mortals, and he will not look for death like this!

He was silent for a long time, sighed, left Lingtian, and came to Xiong Jiong's residence.

Xiong Jiong obviously knew about this matter for a long time, he seemed restless, restless, and his whole person was like an ant on a hot pot.

"Pack your things." Wu Xie said lightly, "I'll accompany you back to the Great Chu Kingdom - look at your appearance, if you don't go back to see, I'm afraid you won't be able to feel at ease."

"o

Xiong Jiong was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him, and then hurried to prepare.

Wu Xie looked at his happy and busy appearance, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The national fortunes of the Great Chu State are probably really coming to an end......
