Chapter 37 Simple
Immortals are not allowed to take the initiative to harm mortals, this constraint comes from the 'Immortal Contract', which is the door rule of almost every righteous path immortal gate, and it is also the oath of every mortal when entering the immortal gate.
Its purpose is mainly to prevent a repetition of the mistakes of the 'Rebellion of the Immortals'.
For immortals, it may be a bit too much to say that strange mortals are ants, but it is not surprising to say that they are chickens and dogs. Thousands of years have passed since the 'Rebellion of the Immortals', and it was still an era when immortals flourished without any constraints. In that era, it was almost the norm for immortals to conquer and establish a country, and immortals to govern the world.
At that time, mortals had not yet established the worldly system with power and wealth as they do today, so the power of immortals was the only criterion for maintaining order in the world. Under such a system, the immortals oppressed mortals, mortals revered strength, revered the weak from the top down, and the battle was extremely bloody, so that the living beings were devastated, and the mortals were almost extinct.
The rebellion of the immortals came from this.
In the chaotic era, there was no concept of orthodox immortal gates, and some were only loose immortal organizations, or alliances, and they often went their own way, fighting each other in order to get more resources. This kind of struggle, from the beginning of the small-scale friction gradually escalated, layer by layer of annexation, after hundreds of years finally formed a country dominated by seven forces.
That was the origin of the 'Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms'.
These seven nations ruled by immortals, in order to compete for resources, have almost never stopped fighting for hundreds of years. During this period, more than a billion mortals became victims, so that in the end, the number of mortals did not exist, and the entire Eastern Continent dropped sharply from the original population of more than one billion to less than ...... million, and the original seven kingdoms were also destroyed one after another in hundreds of years of chaotic wars, and in the end only three countries remained. This is the predecessor of the three immortal gates of the current Eastern Continent.
The immortals have been working for hundreds of years, and the victory and defeat have not yet been decided, and when they look back, they find that the mortals are dying ......, and then they finally realize the seriousness of the problem.
Although immortals can not eat fireworks in the world, it does not mean that immortals do not need to make offerings, the difference is only that mortals' offerings are clothing, food, shelter and transportation, while immortals' offerings are all kinds of cultivation resources. The so-called big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimp, dried shrimp eat mayflies, and mayflies eat fine dustββ, just like the laws of nature, immortals also need a similar set of offerings. And the immortals establish a country and govern it, just like a big fish governing a mayfly, and the result can be imagined....... Losing a sufficient number of mortals, the immortals are equivalent to self-sufficiency, not only that, but the immortals themselves are derived from mortals, and when the number of mortals decreases, the birth of immortals will also decrease, so that there is no successor......
So, after hundreds of years of repeated trial and error, finally, the 'Immortal Contract' came into being. In short, there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and immortals will no longer interfere with the world from now on.
Of course, the difficulties cannot be explained in a few words, how to achieve a balance between immortals and mortals, how to distribute benefits, and how to avoid unnecessary fights...... And so on, even if the immortals realized the problem, they still inevitably experienced the pain of change. That's why it's taken hundreds of years.
All in all, today, the 'Immortal Pact' has become a rule that most immortals need to abide by when they travel to the mortal world, and its binding force is equivalent to the law of mortals. But just as the law cannot completely bind mortals, there will also be immortals who do not follow the rules. Just as the law needs to be officially maintained, so does the 'pact of the immortals'.
And this responsibility undoubtedly fell on the group of immortal forces who had signed the 'Immortal Pact' at the beginning. That is, it evolved from the past immortal kingdom, and the current Three Immortal Gate.
Therefore, if things are really as Wen Wu said, the other party is a half-immortal or even an immortal, then even if Xuanli does not receive the relevant task, it can be logical.
"Are you sure?"
"Not only me, I believe many people have seen it with their own eyes, and it will be clear if you ask a little." Wenwu is very sure.
"Is this the time you were attacked?" Miaoruo frowned.
"Hmm."
"Then why didn't you report it? If Tongtian Jian received the news, the Immortal Gate would naturally send someone down to investigate. "Xuanli will be skeptical.
Wen Wu didn't speak, and looked at Heungmin. Tongtianjian is the institution of Xianmen stationed in Xingdu, which is responsible for the communication between the mortal world and Xianmen, for example, the Xianmen paid by the imperial court to Xianmen, that is, the Tongtian Prison is first exchanged with Tongtianjian, and then transferred by Tongtianjian to each Xianmen. In addition, Tongtian Jian also has an important responsibility, that is, as a representative of the Immortal Gate, he solves some problems that are difficult for mortals to deal with for the imperial court. If you encounter tricky trouble, Tongtianjian can also report to the Xianmen, and the Xianmen will send someone to solve it.
Xingmin hurriedly said: "Back to the seniors, the juniors have already reported before, but there has been no reply yet." β
"Oh."
Xuanli groaned. In fact, this kind of thing is not new, immortals are not like mortals, and they are usually not particularly bad incidents, not to mention Tongtianjian, and the immortal gate also turns a blind eye. After all, if it was like a casual cultivator secretly killing three or two people, and the Tongtian Prison had to take care of it, it wouldn't be able to control it at all. What's more, Tongtian Prison is just a deterrent organization jointly stationed in the mortal world by the Immortal Sect, and there are only one or two representatives sent by each of the three Immortal Sects in it, and if it is not necessary, it will not show up at all.
If it is ordinary, even if it is known that it was done by immortals, as long as the impact is not large, most of them will be treated as ordinary mortal cases, and the final result will be nothing.
In fact, Heungmin himself was not hopeful, and he was still wondering why Wenwu would suddenly say this. It must be known that seven or eight days have passed since the incident, and there is no real evidence, which is somewhat reluctant.
Xuan Li nodded unexpectedly, and said: "Anyway, being idle is idle, I will pay attention to this matter, if it is really as you said, someone crosses the line, we will not sit idly by." However, don't expect your wife, since the other party is hiding in the shadows, he must be prepared, and the time has passed too long, so it is not easy to track down. β
Miao Ruo touched his beard, "If it is a person from the Immortal Gate, every one of them should be recorded." β
Xuan Li said meaningfully: "I can only manage the Nine Swords Peak. β
Wen Wu didn't care, as if he didn't make this request. However, just as he was about to end the topic, he suddenly remembered another thing, so he added, "If you talk about clues, it's not that there are no clues." β
"Oh?"
"I should have hurt him."
"What?" Xuan Li was stunned.
"I caught his breath at the time, and I hit it back, and it missed." Wen Wu was a little regretful, "However, I feel his aura fluctuating, it should be injured." β
Xuan Li immediately scoffed, "What are you kidding, if what you say is true, then there is only one possibility, the other party is not an immortal, not even a half-immortal." β
"Why?"
"Why? The reason why immortals are immortals is because they are different from mortals, with your current ability, it is impossible for you to hurt the immortals at all. Xuan Li's expression was a little speechless.
"Oh?"
Wen Wu heard this, and hesitated a little.
"Don't believe me?"
Seeing his expression, Xuan Li's eyes rolled, thinking that he could find some face, so he said confidently: "I'll stand here now and let you fight, you just try." β
When Wen Wu was said like this, he couldn't help but feel a little unconfident. He thought about it, it was indeed a good opportunity, so he stood up and scooped a small scoop of water in his palm under the puzzled eyes of several people.
"What do you do?"
"Didn't you say stand and let me fight?"
"Of course, are you going to do it with your bare hands?" Xuan Li smiled angrily at him.
"No, that's enough."
After hearing this, he pulled his hand back, and then threw it violently. After a few 'sighs', after the water in his hand was thrown out, the water droplets elongated, like a sharp arrow breaking through the air, and shot out in an instant.
Xuan Li only felt a gust of wind pass above his head, and his eyes widened.
Smack, smack-
Like the sound of rain hitting plantains, dense water arrows hit the rockery, stirring up a mist and dust. Then, when I looked closely, there were more than a dozen small pits of different sizes on the mountain.
Heungmin was stunned.
Miao Ruo's original teasing expression also froze, and she was stunned.
Wen Wu was a little annoyed, "Oops, I missed the ...... again, come back ......" and he scooped a small scoop of water with his hand.
Xuan Li was excited, "Wait, wait!" Wait! β
"Huh?"
"For, why ......" Xuan Li only felt that his mouth was stiff, and his face was full of disbelief.
"What, why?"
"You, don't play dumb, how did you do it? Traction aura, this is something that only immortals can do! You're obvious, aren't you, right! You are indeed ......" Xuanli was messy and a little incoherent.
"Isn't that simple?"
Wen Wu felt strange, and with a flick of his hand, the water in his hand was thrown out. The water droplets smashed on the surface of the water, smashing the effect of gravel and knocking out a splash on the surface of the water.
Simple?
Xuan Li felt a tightness in his chest, and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
