The secret realm of the holy land, outside the 'Shou Temple'.

Su Xing was dressed in coarse linen clothes, blending in the crowd in an extremely low-key manner, waiting outside the 'Shou Temple' with the large army.

It is different from the temple in Su Xing's imagination.

The 'Shou Temple' in the secret realm of the Holy Land covers an exaggerated area, almost on par with a football field.

Far away.

Before Su Xingren entered the 'Shou Temple', he saw hundreds of people kneeling in front of a huge eyeball statue in the temple, and kept worshipping.

Just like Wang Shan described.

After worshipping the statue of the eyeball, the civilians were able to receive bread and other food from the soldiers guarding the 'Shou Temple'.

If the food is considered as wages, then for the people present, worshipping the statues of the eyeballs is their daily work.

Furthermore.

While prostrating, the worshippers emit countless 'black threads', which gather in mid-air and are gradually absorbed by the statue.

"The First Evolution"

Seeing this scene, Su Xing also understood the role of this 'longevity temple'.

- Not surprisingly, this Shou Temple is the place where the Daomen is used to collect the 'black silk thread'.

As for the purpose of collecting this 'black silk thread' by the Daomen....

In this regard, Su Xing also guessed something:

The 'Black Silk Thread' is suspected to be able to help the foundation building monk break through to the Jindan stage.

This characteristic is not difficult to see from the experience of the Yuan Dragon Dao people of Mo Luo Tian, the Zhen Yuan Zhenren of the Tree Realm and Tianchi.

Among them, the breakthrough of the Yuanlong Dao people through the 'black silk thread' was seen by Su Xing with his own eyes, and he couldn't fake it.

Coupled with the experience of Zhenyuan Zhenren and Tianchi, it can also be proved from the side, so the purpose of Daomen's collection of 'black silk threads' is naturally self-evident....

Inside the Daomen, it is likely that there are monks who have cultivated to the late stage of foundation building, or warriors who have surpassed the 'realm of gods and men'.

In order to further enhance his strength, this strong man established this incomparably huge longevity temple.

The 'black thread' can be a person's lifespan, or the pain a person receives, or the evil energy that an assassin has accumulated.

And the 'black silk thread' in this longevity temple is generated by people's beliefs.

The more people who believe in the Eyeball Statue, the larger the 'Black Silk Thread' accumulated in the statue, and the better the effect of improving cultivation.

Thinking of this, Su Xing couldn't help but feel excited:

This 'Shou Temple' is worshiped by thousands of people every day, and it must have accumulated countless 'black silk threads', if you can snatch them all....

Su Xing mixed in the ranks of worshippers, and soon came to the eyeball statue, and felt a large number of 'black silk threads' contained in the statue....

For some unknown reason, Su Xing was able to freely move the 'Black Silk Thread' at will, at least until then.

Taking advantage of this time to worship the statue, Su Xing tried to mobilize the 'black silk threads' contained in the statue.

But this time, no matter how much he tried to mobilize, the 'black silk thread' inside the statue never responded.

Su Xing guessed that it was most likely that the eyeball statue had a shielding effect, cutting off the connection between him and the 'black silk thread'.

Thinking of this, Su Xing stopped doing useless work.

He planned to take advantage of the night when no one was around, and then come to this Shou Temple to break open the eyeball statue and see if there could be some new changes.

In the temple of longevity.

Through observation, Su Xing also discovered another pattern:

The 'black thread' produced by a person in a fixed amount of time is always limited.

And in most cases, it is the first time you kneel down to the statue that produce the most 'black threads', and the later you go, the fewer you do.

Because of this, the worship in the 'Shou Temple' adopts a rotation system, and the worship is completed one after another.

After Su Xing knelt down for about a quarter of an hour or so, he retreated to the side with the rest of the people, giving up his position to those who had not yet bowed.

But what Su Xing didn't expect was.

In his rest, he saw an incomparably familiar face....

…

The entrance to the Shou Temple.

Sword Saint Shan Yuxing was leaning against the door, looking around extremely lazily, with an extremely reluctant expression on his face.

He really didn't want to be a steward in this temple....

In the Shou Temple in the Holy Land Secret Realm, thousands of people come to worship every day.

To manage this place well, it is not only necessary to ensure that no one in the room is lazy, but also to distribute the food to everyone according to the prescribed share.

And that's not all.

When there are many people, it is inevitable that some accidents will occur between people, and even turn into quarrels or fights.

These also need to be handled by Shan Yuxing, who is in charge, so taking care of Shou Temple is really a chore.

- The reason why Shan Yuxing was transferred here was only because when he fought with Su Xing before, he activated the secret realm key in public.

The entire teleportation process of the Sword Saint has been seen by all the Jianghu warriors, the rebel forces, and the people of Wangcheng.

Of course.

Although the Sword Master teleported to the Holy Land Secret Realm with a wooden card in front of countless people, it did not reveal the location of the Holy Land Secret Realm.

After all, the Mysteries Key is unique and cannot be used by non-binders.

Although the monk can forcibly activate the key with the spiritual power in his body, he will not be affected in any way because there are no monks in the Southern Ganbu Continent.

Therefore, although Yu Xing's actions alone will have a certain negative impact, the impact is not large.

Based on the above reasons, Daomen did not severely punish Shan Yuxing, but only symbolically sent him to the Shou Temple.

But even with such an easy 'punishment', Shan Yuxing still refused to accept it.

For the sake of Daomen, he not only suffered in front of Su Xing, lost face, but was even cut off by the other party.

After paying such a huge price, not only did he not receive any compensation, but he was also forcibly divided into drudgery by his superiors.

This gap in my heart will be a little unbearable for anyone.

The entrance to the Shou Temple.

Sword Saint Shan Yuxing leaned in front of the temple gate, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Finally, he couldn't hold it anymore, so he ordered his soldiers to deal with matters on their own.

And he himself walked straight from the royal mansion in the secret realm of the Holy Land, intending to go to the Taoist Lord to ask for an explanation....

At the same time.

Looking at the back of the Sword Saint Shan Yuxing leaving, Su Xing also found an excuse to secretly leave the Shou Temple.

The light in the secret territory of the Holy Land is dim, even in the daytime, it does not affect the ability to cast the 'Shadow Escape' at all.

After making sure that there was no one else around, Su Xing immediately turned into a black shadow and followed behind the Sword Saint Shan Yuxing from a distance.

The two of them came to the royal mansion one after the other.

In the house, Su Xing saw a somewhat unbelievable scene:

In the courtyard of the royal mansion, there are more than 100 black huts of all sizes, about one square meter.

Maybe it's for easy observation of its interior, or maybe it's for breathability.

These black huts have no doors, but they all have fist-sized openings.

Through the opening, Su Xing saw countless children wearing pipes on their heads and with white hair on their heads.

The other end of these pipes is connected to the Ichijo Fold outside the black hut....

In this situation, Su Xing, who watched it, felt a heartbeat inexplicably.

Apparently.

From the beginning to the end, there will be no 'creation out of nothing' at all, and those extra lifespans out of thin air are all squeezed from children.

And this is the real reason why Daomen can continue to issue 'currency'.

As the so-called way of man, the loss is insufficient and the benefit is more than gained.
