Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Festival

On the fifteenth day of Su Xing's arrival in the South Ganbu Continent.

The entrance of Tupo Village.

After the altar was set up and the incense burner was lit, the charmer, dressed as a rope jumper, ordered the children to be brought to the altar.

Then she began to recite words that were not incomprehensible.

It didn't take long for the charmer to start dancing in place.

And her strange behavior really had a certain effect:

In a short time, countless 'black threads' appeared in the air for no reason, and converged on the top of the child's head in all directions.

These 'black silk threads' cannot be seen by ordinary people with the naked eye.

At present, the people who Su Xing knows can see and control the 'black silk thread', apart from himself, are only in the Tianchi that he met in the Wuzhuang Palace.

Midair.

As the 'black threads' gathered more and more, a huge eyeball composed of black threads gradually appeared on the top of the child's head.

It was not the first time Su Xing had seen this eyeball, so he recognized it at a glance.

This is the eyeball of 'Shou'.

The appearance of 'Shou' eyeballs made Su Xing have some guesses in his heart:

In this way, the reason why the people of Nanbu Continent can see the consumption of longevity and directly use longevity as currency transactions is because of the indescribable 'longevity'?

And think along this line of thought, if 'longevity' can really control the number of human life....

So if Heavenly Court can refine the longevity medicine and plant the ginseng fruit tree, will there be some connection with the indescribable 'longevity'?

It's just that there is only one thing that Su Xing doesn't understand.

If Heavenly Court's longevity medicine and ginseng fruit are both related to the indescribable 'longevity', then how did he refine the longevity medicine?

When he was researching the formula of the life pill, he had never heard of or come into contact with 'longevity'!

In front of the altar.

The charmer inked for a long time, and finally completed the prelude completely, and Shou's eyes slowly looked over the child's head.

Maybe it's because it can't withstand contamination from unspeakable creatures.

Under the gaze of Shou, the young boy covered his ears and looked pained, but in a few moments he collapsed.

Seeing this, the spell master did not show any panic, but said with great confidence: "The festival is over, let's take him away." ”

After the festival is completed, it seems to be very common to faint during the festival, and everyone present is already surprised.

Spellcasters have a high status in the village.

As soon as the festival was completed, a villager came forward with a large amount of meat and handed it to the charmer, who then left with the young child in thanks.

Seeing this, Su Xing has roughly understood the principle of the festival:

The so-called festival is nothing more than the fact that the spell master takes the initiative to attract the pollution of the indescribable 'longevity' through special means.

This contamination will be kept in a safe area by the Spellmaster.

In this way, it will not be too affected by polluters.

The pollution of unspeakable organisms, although it will have a certain impact on people's mental state, will also bring some positive effects.

For example, 'Spirit'.

In fact, Su Xing already had some guesses.

The reason why his body was strengthened after swallowing the 'Flesh Mushroom Lone' was not because of the effect of the 'Flesh Mushroom Lone' itself.

What really worked was the pollution caused by the whispering voice of the 'spirit' after Su Xing swallowed the mushroom.

The more severe the pollution, the greater the impact on the mental state, and when it reaches a certain level, it is very likely to be life-threatening.

This point is not difficult to see from the behavior of the heavenly people devouring the 'flesh and blood mushroom'.

Although the celestial beings are not afraid of the pollution of the 'spirit', they are naturally resistant to whispering.

But it is precisely because they are immune to contamination that after swallowing a large amount of 'flesh mushrooms', their benefits are still not very obvious.

On the other hand, Su Xing only ate a little bit of more than a dozen mushrooms, and his physical fitness had reached an outrageous level.

It's just that the price of doing that is a little bigger....

Compared with the 'spirit', which can strengthen physical fitness, the pollution of 'longevity' seems to be more reflected in the number of longevity.

I just don't know what kind of ability it will bring when the pollution of 'longevity' is further deepened....

After the festival was completed, Su Xing stayed in Tupo Village for another day.

It wasn't until the toddler woke up and was sure that the other party was okay that he was completely relieved and decided to perform the 'festival' ritual.

Su Xing is not worried about the side effects.

The whispers of 'Shou' caused by the festival were so polluted that even a young child in the village could not be killed, let alone pose a threat to his foundation monks.

What's more, Su Xing also learned from the monkey and can resist the indescribable pollution of the "Tuna Method" to a certain extent.

Therefore, this festival can be tried.

The next day, at the entrance of Tupo Village.

Under the watchful eyes of countless villagers, the charmer once again put on the altar and incense burner, and danced in front of Su Xing.

With the efforts of the spell master, Shou's eyes soon converged in mid-air again, and glanced towards Su Xing.

Affected by this, a whisper sounded in Su Xing's ears....

The whisper was chaotic and irregular, and could not be described in human language.

Because the pollution caused by the spell master was too slight, and Su Xing had already developed a certain resistance to indescribable pollution under the baptism of the whispering voice of the 'spirit'.

Therefore, under the gaze of 'Shou' eyeballs, he didn't even show a trace of discomfort in his eyes.

After the 'festival' ceremony was completed, Su Xing had an extra spherical mark on his wrist.

There was a glow of red in his left eye, and he could see some indescribable and inexplicable data, but it could be reflected in his mind.

These data are all related to the consumption of life expectancy.

It's like breathing.

Su Xing's observation with his left eye concludes that every breath of fresh air consumes about 1/30,000 of his lifespan.

And the person breathes about every three seconds.

In this way, for every day Su Xing lives in Nanbu Continent, he needs to consume about 2 days of life....

As a result, Su Xing thought of a new question:

Although people in the southern Ganbu continent can earn their life expectancy through labor, no matter how people trade with each other, the total number of life expectancy will always remain the same.

There is neither longevity medicine nor ginseng fruit in Nanbu Continent, so it cannot produce or increase longevity out of thin air.

And under this premise, the number of life spans consumed by people is twice that of Dongsheng Shenzhou....

According to this line of thought, the average lifespan of the mortals in the Southern Ganbu Continent should be between ten and twenty-five years.

On the other hand, a considerable number of the villagers in Tupo Village are over 30 years old, and even occasionally see people in their 40s and 50s.

The total lifespan of the mortals in the Southern Ganbu Continent seems to have nearly doubled out of thin air....

This is very unreasonable.

This made Su Xing have a guess:

Is it possible that the Daomen, which dominates the entire Southern Ganbu Continent, can itself print 'currency', that is, the number of life.

Because of this, the total number of life expectancy in the southern Ganbu continent will be about twice as much as in the calculation.

And Su Xing can think of this, but it is not out of no.

After all, the Shouyan hanging over Tupo Village and other towns was placed by the Dao Gate.

This shows that the Daomen is very likely to have a certain connection with the unspeakable creature 'Shou'.

However, all the forces that can have some connection with 'longevity' can more or less manipulate the longevity of human beings to a certain extent.
