Chapter 42: The High Priest
It's the same as a mobile phone.
The Happy Plates distributed by the High Priest to the villagers could not be used forever.
After nearly a month of use, this kind of wooden board will be scrapped directly, and at this time, it will be necessary to replace it with a new happy board to the high priest.
Similarly, the Mushroom House only lasts for a month after each charge.
Because of this, the high priest would come to the mushroom village every other month.
Inside the mushroom house.
Su Xing found out through observation.
When the High Priest was changing the Happy Boards, countless 'black silk threads' would emerge from the scrapped Happy Boards that the villagers had summoned.
It's obvious.
The purpose of the existence of this happy board is not only for the entertainment of the villagers, but also for the purpose of collecting 'black silk threads'.
Some of these 'black threads' were inhaled by the High Priest, while the other remained in the Happy Plate.
According to the information that Su Xing already has.
With the exception of himself, only strange and unspeakable creatures can absorb the 'black threads' emanating from the human body.
Therefore, this so-called 'high priest' is probably a kind of weirdness.
Other than that.
These 'black silk threads' that remain in the happiness board also have their role.
in the village.
After the high priest had finished distributing all the happy boards, he walked to the mushroom house where everyone lived and pasted the discarded happy boards on its surface.
After a few seconds, a 'black thread' emerges from the happy board and gradually disappears into the mushroom house.
With the blessing of these 'black silk threads', the light emitted by the mushroom house seemed to become brighter than before.
When he saw this, Su Xing immediately understood:
The reason why the villagers' mushroom houses were able to shine was not due to the high priest, but because of the 'black silk thread'.
The time and energy that the villagers spend on the happy board every day will turn into 'black silk threads' and be absorbed by the happy board.
When the High Priest arrives at the Mushroom Village, he will take away some of the 'black threads'.
The other part is used to maintain the daily consumption of the mushroom house.
Other words.
The daily glow of the mushroom house is actually produced by the villagers themselves, and what the high priest does is take a large part of it from the villagers.
Judging from the fact that the 'black silk thread' can supply energy to the mushroom house, the 'black silk thread' should be a type of energy.
And the entire mushroom village is equivalent to a factory for the high priest to produce the energy of the 'black silk thread'.
Wrong.
It's not just the 'black thread'.
At the end of their lives, the corpses of these villagers are taken deep underground by the high priest and used.
Mushroom Village.
After the High Priest has finished distributing the Happy Plates and charging the Mushroom House.
Seeing that it said to the villagers present in a voice without a trace of human emotion, "Those who are about to die, please fly to the heavenly realm with me." ”
As soon as these words came out, the villagers present immediately dispersed one after another, and only four people who were about to die were still staying in place.
Among the four people, two of them showed excited expressions, as if they were extremely looking forward to being able to 'ascend to the heavenly realm'.
But at the same time, there was also a person with a tangled and worried expression, as if he was doubting the authenticity of the 'Ascension to the Heavenly Realm'.
The last man simply blended into the crowd, as if intending to slip away.
Seeing this, the high priest's figure flashed, and he rushed to the villager in a few steps, staring at the other party with eyes that did not have a trace of brilliance.
Judging from the speed of the High Priest, its strength should be equivalent to that of an early foundation monk.
Even the Qi Refining Stage cultivators in the village were no match for them.
Due to the strong strength of the high priest, the villagers who wanted to escape could only be forced to join the team of the 'Ascension to the Heavenly Realm'.
From this, it is not difficult to see that not all the villagers of Mushroom Village have voluntarily 'ascended to the heavenly realm'.
There is also a certain compulsion in this.
But these are dying people after all, and even if they really have doubts about the 'Heavenly Realm', they don't show much resistance.
In this half-forced, half-voluntary atmosphere, the four people in the mushroom village who were dying of their lives left the village with the high priest.
Seeing this, Su Xing put a 'spiritual light talisman' on his chest and followed silently.
Su Xing is in front of him.
As soon as the high priest left the village, a faint glow emanated from his body.
With this glimmer of light, even if the four villagers didn't have the 'aura talisman' to protect themselves, they didn't need to worry about being attacked by the shadow monsters.
After Su Xing followed the high priest for a while, he found out.
Deep underground, it's not just mushroom villages that grow 'Giant Glowing Mushrooms'.
On the way deeper underground, you can see 'glowing mushrooms' and the villagers who live in them almost everywhere.
In these villages, there are also occasional high priests who come out of them with people who are dying.
Since there is not only one high priest, Su Xing, who has been patient for a long time, can finally let go of his hands and feet and test the other party.
He wanted to see what kind of demons and monsters these so-called 'high priests' were.
On the road.
Su Xing quickly rushed forward, stopped in front of a major priest and the villagers, and said tentatively, "Ask you a few questions." ”
The high priest was able to speak.
It looked at Su Xing, who suddenly came out, and there was no trace of human emotion in his tone: "Get out of the way." ”
Su Xing continued to probe: "What are you doing by taking the villagers deep underground? ”
"Get out of the way!"
The High Priest did not respond positively, but repeated what he had said.
Although the high priest was able to communicate with people, he was always able to speak only simple words.
They may have some intelligence, but definitely not very high.
Thinking of this, Su Xing took a step back quietly, and was ready to guard against the other party's sneak attack at any time: "Are you a human or a stranger?" ”
"Get out of the way!" The High Priest repeated the previous words again.
Su Xing didn't move a single step under his feet, but just put his hand on the storage bag on his waist....
Meanwhile.
The high priest had also rushed towards Su Xing.
Seeing that the other party took the initiative to attack, Su Xing, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately took out the Qingxiao Sword and glanced at the other priests around him from the corner of his eye.
Probably because the intelligence is too low.
The other priests around him, although they had seen Su Xing fighting with his companions, they all turned a blind eye to Su Xing's actions.
These priests did not mean to rush all at once.
Even so, Su Xing was completely relieved, he waved the Qingxiao Sword in his hand, and also greeted the high priest who was attacking.
The high priest tapped the storage bag on his waist and took out a white mace from it, aiming it at Su Xing's head.
Although Su Xing only had the strength of the tenth layer of Qi cultivation, after being strengthened by the 'Flesh and Blood Mushroom', his strength was not inferior to that of the High Priest who had the strength of the early stage of foundation building.
At the moment when the mace was about to hit his head, Su Xing's whole person became translucent, and he easily dodged the fatal blow.
In the next second, his whole body had switched back to his normal state, and he swung a sword at the high priest's neck with his backhand.
Su Xing's set of actions has already been used countless times in actual combat, and it can be said to be smooth at this moment.
With just one move, he easily cut off the head of the high priest.
After the latter fell to the ground, his body immediately split apart and turned into a pile of rune paper scattered on the ground....
Only the storage bag around his waist has been preserved intact.
Su Xing picked up the storage bag on the ground and glanced at the four villagers who had been brought all the way to this place.
He spoke: "I will give each of you a 'spiritual light talisman', if you want to go back to the village, you can go back now.... If you want to 'ascend to the heavenly realm' after death, you can choose to join me or follow the other high priests. ”
