Ordinary people come to this kind of rainforest, even if they are born people, there is a certain danger. After all, there are some special terrain here, which can kill if you fall down, as well as all kinds of snakes, insects, beasts, and miasma. However, when it comes to Qi Xuansu's realm of cultivation, it is still a human immortal inheritance, so it is nothing.

The qi and blood are vigorous, snakes and insects do not dare to get close, and the body is strong, almost as if walking on the ground.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu's progress was extremely fast, and he opened up a path in the vast rainforest, and all kinds of trees and vegetation along the way were either pushed down or torn up, as if a giant beast had traveled here.

After searching like this for about two days, Qi Xuansu finally found a cave in the depths of the rainforest, where there seemed to be some traces of artificial excavation.

After entering the cave, he found that it was all the way down, and Qi Xuansu couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the city of Payiti had partially sunk into the ground? Or is there an underground mausoleum here?

Qi Xuansu thought so, and still walked to the depths of the cave.

There was no light source in the cave, or there used to be, and now it has been extinguished, but Qi Xuansu has a true pupil, and he is not affected in the slightest, and everything is delicate. The deeper he went, the more open the cave became, and Qi Xuansu found more and more corpses on both sides, some of which could be described as piles of mountains.

Qi Xuansu is not a person who came from the war years, he was still born in a peaceful era, when the Daomen was extremely strong, even if there was a war, it also happened overseas, and the Central Plains itself had not heard the sound of horses' hooves and artillery for nearly two hundred years. Those scenes of thousands of miles of red land, ten rooms and nine emptiness, corpse mountains and sea of blood, Qi Xuansu had only seen them from the text descriptions in books, but he had not seen them with his own eyes.

Even if Qi Xuansu participated in the battle of Fenglinzhou and the war of the Southern Continent, most of those battles took place at the army level, and Qingwei Zhenren repeatedly asked to keep a Fenglinzhou that won the hearts of the people, and Xidaomen also carried out an orderly evacuation of the people before the war, and did not involve the people too much.

Since it is an army fighting, the number of casualties will be controlled within a certain range, after all, Qingwei Zhenren quelled the rebellion in Fenglinzhou, not counting the servant army, and it did not use 100,000 people. Xidaomen and the Holy Court fought, and the two sides suffered more than 10,000 casualties, which was already a little broken, and more than 100,000 people were really killed or wounded, and the balance of victory had already begun to tilt.

But once the people are involved, the party with a low moral level can easily develop into a one-sided massacre, with hundreds of thousands of people killed at every turn, plus the war breaks all kinds of systems, once natural and man-made disasters, such as plague and famine, no one organizes disaster relief and relief, then the death toll cannot be controlled, and over the years, it may be millions of dead and wounded. xь.

That kind of troubled times is terrifying, the bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles, which is not an exaggeration.

The corpses accumulated in the Ghost Country Cave are mainly from the more than 100 years from the southward movement of the Golden Horde to the establishment of the Great Wei Dynasty, and until today, the Daomen has not been disposed of, which shows the large number of deaths.

Xuansheng was born in such an era, so Xuansheng is determined to save the world. You must know that Xuan Sheng was born in Zhong Mingding's family, and the ups and downs outside could not be on his head, so he could have followed the steps and instructed the country, instead of leaving the shelter and dying several times. But he did it anyway, for a simple reason, he just couldn't stand it. It's so miserable, it touches the soul.

Qi Xuansu didn't have such an experience, and it was difficult to fully understand Xuansheng's feelings at that time only from the aspect of words, after all, thousands of people dying and tens of millions of people dying are two completely different concepts. The latter is that wherever you go, you can see dead people, and all kinds of human tragedies are staged in turn, and you can't hide if you want to, and it's easy to be completely numb.

Qi Xuansu understood Xuansheng a little today, and he didn't dare to say that he fully understood, at least he was touched. Along the way, he saw more than 10,000 corpses and bones. And for some reason, these corpses did not decompose, and basically retained the state before death, as if they had just died, and they were not the same as the rotten corpses in the ghost country cave.

One can imagine what happened to that kingdom called Payiti when it fell.

Payiti was nominated as a state, but in fact it was a city-state, including the three major empires such as Tawantin, which was a combination of larger city-states with a relatively loose structure.

The real huge empire is such as the Daomen or the Holy Court, spanning all continents, and the territory is more than thousands of miles, such an emperor

The kingdom will not die because of external enemies, but will collapse because of internal troubles.

This reminded Qi Xuansu of what Zhang Yuelu had said.

"Tian Yuan, if one day, you come to a high enough position, I hope you can not care about the gains and losses of one time and one place, but consider the interests of the overall situation, based on reality and long-term, and don't ignore the overall situation for your own selfish interests or short-term interests. Dare to be responsible, dare to take responsibility, be worthy of admiration, be a person who stands majestically between heaven and earth, and be a person who can stand the test of time."

"Don't be like some people who are bent on grabbing power by any means, and there is no ideal to speak of. The starting point of whether they do or not do a thing is whether they can take a greater advantage, and they must compare their own merits, all they consider day and night, and they dare to ignore the disasters of a hundred years behind them for the sake of temporary results. All day long, I say insincere things on my lips, say all the good things, and do all the bad things. There is a different smile on his face, as if he is not smiling, and there is a knife hidden in his smile."

"Such a person will only regard the Daomen as his own private property and take it away. In the end, it will only make the Daomen doomed."

Qi Xuansu gathered his thoughts and continued to move forward, coming to a huge underground space, where there was a high altar, and in front of the altar were densely packed with figurines.

Qi Xuansu didn't care at first, because there were many figurines in the Southern Continent, most of them were terracotta figurines, painted with oil paint, and were commonly found in various altars and mausoleums. However, when Qi Xuansu stepped forward, he found that these figurines were not terracotta figurines or stone figurines, but looked like they were made by living people.

Qi Xuansu broke off the palm of a figurine, and found that the figurines were empty, with no flesh and blood, no bones, and then a large number of black insects poured out of the figurines, some like beetles, these insects don't know where they came from, they were not afraid of Qi Xuansu's strong blood, and they crawled to Qi Xuansu's body in a daze, and Qi Xuansu's true pupils could see it really, the mouthparts of these insects were sharp, if ordinary people encountered them, they were afraid that they would be eaten up in a blink of an eye.

Before Qi Xuansu could make a move, Wu Niang had already appeared, and a fire helped Qi Xuansu burn these insects clean.

Qi Xuansu asked, "Wu Niang, what are these bugs?"

Wu Niang hesitated slightly: "It's a bit like a Gu in witchcraft. The ancient witchcraft only represents the witchcraft of the Central Plains, and radiates to the Golden Horde and the South Seas, in fact, there are also witchcraft in other places, and according to the different cultures of each place, they derive their own characteristics. The strange thing is that this kind of witchcraft seems to be a method on the southern side of Xinjiang, how could it run to the southern continent?"

Qi Xuansu said, "Someone found this place first? Also, even Wang Jiaohe has a map, and it makes sense for others to walk ahead of us. Could it be someone from Xidaomen?"

Wu Niang thought for a while: "I can't rule out this possibility, back then, the West Daomen was also mixed, and it was divided into the evil camp, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will be proficient in southern witchcraft, and then follow the West Daomen to the Southern Continent."

Qi Xuansu's heart suddenly moved: "It's a worm man! Back then, the insect people originated in the South Seas, Borneo was rampant in witchcraft, and it was not far from southern Xinjiang, and the insect people and insect people, they were insects, and it was reasonable to control the insects. Earlier, I asked Huen Khan to send people to investigate all kinds of ruins, and they found some traces of the worms, and I thought it was a coincidence, but I didn't expect the worms to really find this place."

Wu Niang checked a few more figurines, after all, she was an existence older than the fox fairy of Qingqiu Mountain, and she was well-informed in all senses, and said, "You reminded me, you should know the vampires of the Westerners, and there are two kinds of descendants they have developed, one is the real descendant, that is, the young vampire, and the other is the inferior slave, who is manipulated, also called the Yanbo. In fact, the same is true for insect people, excellent people are given eggs called 'Tsukidan', and after taking them, they become insect people, and those who are eliminated become containers for hatching insect eggs, and the insects are implanted in their bodies, and then the insects gnaw their internal organs and lay eggs in their bodies, and the people who are used as containers will quickly dry up, leaving only a layer of skin. So these figurines are empty inside."

Wu Niang paused: "You did not do the right way just now, causing the sleeping eggs to turn into larvae. However, these eggs still need to be further screened, and the later they awaken into larvae, the greater the potential of the eggs, which determines whether they can or not

Yudan, the most perfect insect eggs can become the material of 'Tsukidan', and it would be good to have one suitable one of about a hundred insect eggs."

Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment: "When I leave the Southern Continent, I must complete two things, one is to eliminate the insect people, and the other is to abolish the blood sacrifice, even if I didn't come to the Southern Continent in vain."

Wu Niang agreed, "Good, good, good, it's all good governance. If you can use the momentum of the Dao Gate to promote the completion of these two things, it will be regarded as a great merit."

Qi Xuansu was not fluttering, he really wanted to do something practical, he was influencing Zhang Yuelu invisibly, and on the other hand, Zhang Yuelu was influencing him invisibly.

The noble are the most stupid, and the lowly are the wisest.

Many of Zhang Yuelu's actions are stupid in the eyes of others, but she is noble, and this nobility does not come from blood, but from behavior and spirit.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with subordinates obeying superiors and Taoist priests obeying Jinque, but you can't blindly only do what you say, and if you don't say it, it's not good for your future, so don't do it. That's not going to work.

Of course, sometimes, it is already very good to be able to do what you say above, but I am afraid that the kind of above will have to be confronted, either passive sabotage, or excessive implementation, in short, it is yang and yin are violated, and there are endless disasters.

Qi Xuansu asked, "What to do with these figurines?"

Wu Niang said: "It's easy to do, just burn it, I'll burn it, and make sure that not a single insect can escape."

This is a standard Wu Niang answer, a problem that can be solved with fire, and no other way is considered.

Qi Xuansu thought about it, this was really the best way, so he asked Wu Niang to burn all these figurines, and he walked onto the altar surrounded by figurines.
