Chapter 31: Demonic Calamity
"Demonic Calamity?"
Shop No. 18 T-shaped.
Gong Xiaocai looked at Su Ming in surprise, a little confused.
When Gong Lao heard the word demonic disaster, he suddenly changed color.
Seeing Gong Lao's demeanor, Su Mi arched his hand and said, "Gong Lao, have you heard of the Demon Calamity?" ”
Hearing this, Gong Lao was silent for a long time.
After a long while, Gong Lao raised his head and recalled: "I have heard of it, not only have I heard of it, but I have also experienced it myself. ”
"Oh?"
Su Ming's curiosity was completely stimulated.
"Demonic Calamity...... What is it? ”
Su Ming asked, "Is it the Demon Cultivator of the Great Abyss Country?" ”
"Yes, not exactly."
Gong Lao shook his head.
Su Ming frowned, waiting for Gong Lao to follow.
"Xiao Su, do you know how many people I have in Shangyang County?"
Su Ming asked this question for some reason, shook his head and said, "This, the juniors really don't know." ”
"The whole big cadre, only my Shangyang County, has a population of tens of millions, above Shangyang County, there are also prefectures and prefectures, and the population of the entire Lizhou Prefecture adds up, not to mention billions,"
Elder Gong shook his head and sighed, "Although Shangyang County is vast and occupies thousands of miles in a radius, it can't withstand the rapid growth of the monk population, especially the number of casual cultivators.
You should know that among mortals, there is one in a hundred spiritual roots, and Shangyang County has a population of tens of millions, so how many monks must be born?
Several hundred thousand!
In Shangyang County alone, there are hundreds of thousands of monks, and the vast majority of them are casual cultivators. ”
Hearing this, Su Ming's face also changed.
The number of monks, especially casual practitioners, is too many.
The great cadres of this world are not like the previous life, and the imperial court has very little control over the place.
Compared with the imperial court, the states of Daqian were more under the rule of the sect and family.
And the attitude of the sect to rule the local area is quite a kind of laissez-faire.
This has resulted in a situation in which the population has swelled uncontrollably and is eventually difficult to contain.
It's not just Daqian who has this problem.
Daqian's neighbor, Dayuan, is also plagued by this problem.
The rapid expansion of the population will inevitably bring about a shortage of resources, and as a low-level casual cultivator, Su Ming empathizes.
And monks are different from mortals, they have extraordinary power in their hands, once the resources are so tight that even the most basic cultivation can not be satisfied, it is self-evident what they will do next.
In the face of this problem, the major sects of the Great Cadres came up with a solution - war!
Use war to consume the rapidly expanding scattered population.
This...... It is the true origin of the demonic plague.
"Elder Gong, did you persuade me to join the sect because of the demonic calamity?"
Gong Lao nodded: "For this reason, joining the sect is indeed much safer than staying in Qingshuifang City, of course, when the demon disaster comes, the most dangerous thing is those helpless casual cultivators outside Qingshuifang City." ”
Hearing Gong Lao's explanation, Su Ming finally knew the other party's good intentions.
No wonder Gong Lao persuaded him to join the sect, no wonder Gong Lao was ready to leave Qingshuifang City with Xiaocai.
Everything is because of the Demonic Calamity!
Gong Xiaocai listened to it delicately, she grabbed Su Ming's sleeve, raised her head and said nervously: "Brother Su Ming, do you want to ...... Will you come with us to the Xianxia Sect? ”
Hearing this, Gong Lao also looked at Su Ming.
This is a long way to go to the Xianxia faction, although he and Gong Xiaocai are monks, not afraid of ordinary roadblock robbers, but many people along the way always have more to take care of.
Su Ming didn't think about where to go, and when he heard Gong Xiaocai's suggestion, he nodded and said, "Okay, in a year, let's go to the Xianxia Sect together." ”
Elder Gong also knew about him refining magic weapons for Fairy Mu, and there was no doubt about Su Ming's proposal to leave Qingshuifang City after a year.
"Uh-huh!"
When Gong Xiaocai saw that Su Ming promised to go to the Xianxia faction together, her excited little face immediately turned slightly red, and her little head was crazy.
"However, it's not easy to worship the big sect sect, Gong Lao, how do you plan to let Xiaocai worship into the Xianxia faction?"
Hearing this, Gong Lao smiled and said, "I plan to spend a sum of spirit stones to rent a spiritual field in the territory of the Xianxia Sect, and become a tenant of the Xianxia Sect first."
As far as I know, every five years, the Xianxia Sect recruits young monks with excellent qualifications among the tenants, and with Xiaocai's spiritual roots, there will definitely be opportunities. ”
Su Ming had no doubt about this.
Gong Xiaocai is a double spirit root, if even she can't worship the Xianxia faction, then the requirements for the Xianxia faction to recruit disciples are too high.
......
Back home, Su Ming was completely firm in his idea of leaving Qingshuifang City.
"When you get the full paper puppetry, get out of here."
Su Ming said to himself.
Originally, Su Ming was still thinking about whether to join Lingbao Mountain.
But thinking about it, whether it was joining Lingbao Mountain or the Xianxia Sect, it didn't really make much difference to him.
Because of these two sects, he doesn't know much about them.
From Gong Lao, Su Ming knew that demonic disasters would generally last for several years.
In fact, the most terrifying thing about the demon disaster is not the demon cultivation of the Great Abyss Country, but the chaos caused by the demon disaster.
There is such a saying in the casual cultivation, when the demonic disaster comes, among the ten demonic cultivators, eight are Daqian scattered cultivators, and one is a family monk of Daqian.
Thus.
The so-called demonic disaster is simply a carnival of the jungle.
After the carnival, the weak were eliminated, and the population of casual cultivators was greatly reduced.
The resources and population of Daqian and Dayuan were restored to balance.
In this way, the two sides can live in peace and stability for decades.
Su Ming has been in this world for more than two years, and his predecessor's father has never told him about the demonic disaster.
Gong Lao thought he knew about it, so he never mentioned it.
Just reminded him from the side that he should find a way to join the sect as soon as possible.
In fact, from the perspective of ordinary casual cultivation, when the demonic disaster comes, even if you don't join the sect and stay in Qingshuifang City, it is safe.
After all, there is a Jindan monk in Qingshuifang City.
In the demonic calamity, most of them are Qi cultivation and foundation building monks fighting, and the war will not affect the monks above the Jindan stage.
Otherwise, it will not be a war that consumes the scattered cultivation population, but an all-out war between Daqian and Dayuan.
Suddenly I learned the news of the demon disaster.
Su Ming couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in his heart.
It was like two years ago, when he learned about his situation.
"In the immortal cultivation realm, there is not enough strength, and there is really no sense of security at all."
This was the last thought in Su Ming's heart before closing his eyes and cultivating.
......
Following.
Su Mingmao ended the cultivation of "Thick Earth Gong" on time, and turned to practice the "Divine Court Rizhao Sutra".
Less than a cup of tea.
After finishing the cultivation of the Divine Court Rizhao Sutra, Su Ming planned to adjust his cultivation plan.
"Previously, I refined weapons 8 times a month, decomposed 6 pieces, and sold two first-order medium-grade magic weapons, with a profit of about 20 spirit stones."
Thinking of this, Su Ming looked at the storage bag and frowned secretly, "I only have less than 400 spirit stones left in my hand now, and it takes at least 30,000 spirit stones to buy Zhuji Dan."
Coupled with the elixir consumption of 150 spirit stones per month, in this way, I have to earn at least 2,650 spirit stones per month.
Even if it is a first-order high-grade blue light sword, the price is only 50 spirit stones at most, and even if I refine 30 pieces a month, it will not be enough, unless ...... Refining a second-order magic weapon! ”
