Night.

Barley City, where the Pollution Cleanup Department is located.

Cheng Huo crouched in the corner, hiding his figure by the darkness of the night and the extremely thick dark purple mist.

In order to ensure that he was not conspicuous when sneaking, Chengsheng did not wear a 'purple mist light ball' when he went out this time, but instead wore a smiling face mask from the pollution cleanup department.

Both items protect the wearer from purple mist.

The only difference is that the purple mist bulb can emit light, and although the light can increase the wearer's visual range to a certain extent, it also makes the wearer easier to find.

In contrast, a smiley mask is more suitable for infiltrating and assassinating.

Wearing a smiley mask, he was observing a factory not far ahead.

Searchlights were shooting back and forth on the exterior wall of the factory, and countless soldiers armed with guns walked around the fence.

This defense.

Not surprisingly, this is probably the factory where the Cleanup Department built the 'giant machine'.

The factory where the 'giant machine' was built was in a safe zone, with a thin purple haze.

After surviving to the edge of the safe zone, he was able to release his inner consciousness.

With his divine sense, he quickly determined that there was not much danger inside the factory, so his whole figure flashed and turned into a streamer of light and rushed into the factory.

"What's that?"

Factory fence.

Seeing a streamer flying over his head, a soldier with a gun couldn't help but tremble.

"It's like. Is it Daoguang? Not only the soldier, but the rest of his companions also saw the anomaly just now.

The soldier with the gun held a communicator, as if he was going to report the situation to the people above: "It just flew over, it can't be some kind of pollutant, right?" Do you want to say hello to the people above? ”

"There's no need for that," said his companion, "After all, we are security guards after all, and the more we do, the more mistakes we make." ”

"In short, as long as the people who just flew in are not people, our job is to prevent people from sneaking into the factory, and as for pollutants and the like, that's not our responsibility."

"That's right." Soldiers with guns also know that more is better than less.

So he put away the communicator and started chatting with his companions.

…

At the same time as the two soldiers were chatting.

In the dark.

Seeing that the two soldiers had dispelled the idea of 'reporting to their superiors', Chengsheng also put the bullets in his hands back in the storage bag.

- He had just planned to use the bullet as a hidden weapon to kill the two soldiers with the force of the throw

In doing so, one is to kill people by throwing, and it won't make too much noise like a pistol.

The second is that the bullet can mislead the top management of the Pollution Cleanup Department into believing that the incident was the work of ordinary people and not an invasion by monks.

But since the two soldiers did not intend to report the matter, there was no need to kill people in life, so as to startle the snake.

The factory that survived the invasion was not very large.

The factory is surrounded by low-rise houses that are used as warehouses and staff dormitories. In the center, there is a large building with lead alloy plates.

When the Divine Consciousness is used to envelop the large building, there is also a Divine Consciousness coming out of the building, which establishes a connection with the Divine Being.

The divine consciousness sent a message: "Enlightened friends, I haven't seen you for two years, don't come unharmed!" ”

The monk's consciousness, like the person's appearance, is also 'recognizable'.

As soon as he made contact, Chengsheng recognized the monk who released the divine consciousness, and he was surprised: "Is it the Buddha and the Taoist?" You're in this factory, too? ”

"Heh," the Buddha replied with a smile, "I stayed here just to wait for you to come over." ”

"Wait for me?" Cheng Sheng wondered, "How did you know I was going to come here?" ”

The Buddha said: "Due to the abundance of materials in Damai City, there is a mechanism that can constantly 'refresh', which has led to a very dense population, and there are only a few safe areas in the entire Damai City. This person has a lot of ears, and naturally if there is any trouble, the entire Barley City people will soon know. ”

"If this matter reaches the ears of Daoyou, then Daoyou will naturally be curious and come here to investigate."

The area controlled by the Blindfold Woman has eyeliner in the Pollution Cleanup Department and in two settlements in the city.

Similarly, the Pollution Cleanup Department has eyeliner in various settlements.

This kind of existence is unavoidable, whether in time of war or in times of peace.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the Buddha to judge that he will learn about the 'giant machine' when he is alive.

Chengsheng continued to say to the Buddha: "So what is the Taoist friend waiting for me in this factory? ”

"In order to persuade you to go back." The Buddha replied, "Also, make sure that when you visit this factory, you will not destroy the contents of this factory, especially the giant machine that can gather a large amount of 'emotional power'." ”

"How?" Cheng Sheng asked, "Is it possible, Daoist friends want to use that machine to cultivate?" ”

"Almost!" The Buddha replied, "Anyway, that machine is very important to me. I know that Daoyou and the people in the cleaning department are a little festive, but for the sake of my friends, don't go to the idea of fighting that machine. ”

Cheng Sheng was a little puzzled: "Buddha Taoist friend. I don't need to say it, you should know it very well: the cultivation of Qi cultivation cultivators only needs to absorb the spiritual power between heaven and earth, or take pills and heaven and earth treasures, or even just temper the physical body to break through to the next realm. ”

"And after reaching the Jindan stage, you need to absorb the 'emotional power' to break through to the Yuan Infant stage."

"So in other words, this giant machine is of great help to the cultivation of monks who have cultivated at the Yuan Infant stage and below."

"But cultivators who have cultivated at the stage of transformation and above can't break through just by absorbing the 'power of emotions'."

"Among them, the Divine Transformation Stage Monk needs to continuously devour the souls that are in line with himself, while the Fusion Stage Monk understands the 'power of the law', otherwise it will be difficult for the cultivation to continue to improve."

"So what is the reason why Daoyou is protecting this giant machine of the Ministry of Pollution like this?"

"Alas, Daoist friends don't know" The Buddha explained the words that Mi Chenlong, the master of the Shadow Pavilion, had said to him before, and explained to Chengsheng again: "In fact, the cultivation after the merger period is not only the path of comprehending the 'power of the law'. ”

"A monk in the Merge Period who breaks through to the Void Period by perceiving the power of the law can be called a 'Law Realm' monk."

"In addition, there are also monks in the Merge Period who break through by absorbing a large amount of 'emotional power' and from quantitative change to qualitative change, and the monks who break through this method are called 'Origin Realm'!"

After proposing the concept of 'origin realm', the Buddha briefly explained the distinction between 'origin' and 'law' to life.

He concluded: "In a word: the power of law is the indescribable means to an end, and the 'power of emotion' is the root, that is, the source, of the end!" ”

After listening to it, Chengsheng suddenly said: "So Daoyou wants to take the road of 'origin', so as to break through to the period of returning to the void?" ”

"Hmm." The Buddha said: "In the two years that I have been separated from you, I have successfully broken through from the original middle stage of the god transformation to the late stage of the god transformation through the guidance of the masters. ”

"I believe that it won't be long before I become a Merge Period Cultivator, so I naturally have to pave the way for the subsequent Merge Period cultivation and prepare in advance."

Now that the Buddha has made his words so clear, it is no longer the idea of fighting the giant machine to survive.

After all, they are all friends.

He turned to inquire about some information about the Pollution Cleanup Department: "I wonder if the Buddha and Taoist friends have heard of the 'law blank paper' in the Pollution Cleanup Department?" ”

"Blank paper?" The Buddha was stunned when he heard this: "You mean 'key', right?" ”

The Pollution Cleanup Department refers to the 'law blank paper' as the key.

"Don't hide it, the key is actually part of the plan: normally, after the monk inhales a large amount of 'emotional power', there is a certain probability that he will fall into madness."

"Starting from the Jindan stage monk, the higher the cultivation level, the more 'emotional power' you need to absorb when cultivating, and the greater the possibility of naturally falling into madness."

"From the beginning of the Transformation Period, to the Merge Period and even the Void Returning Period, if a monk wants to break through by absorbing the 'power of emotion' alone, the 'power of emotion' required is often massive, so he will basically fall into madness one hundred percent."

"This is also the fundamental reason why the monks say that 'after the monk transforms into a god, he can no longer rely on absorbing the power of emotions to improve his cultivation'."

"It's not that the monks can't do this to improve their cultivation, but they don't dare!"

Hearing this, Cheng Sheng has understood what the Buddha wants to express.

He speculated: "Therefore, in order not to fall into madness when absorbing the 'power of emotion', Daoist friends managed to persuade the people of the Pollution Cleanup Department, encouraging them to use the 'law blank paper', and wrote down settings such as 'monks who absorb the power of emotions can always stay awake' so that Daoists can unscrupulously rely on absorbing the 'power of emotions' to break through!" ”

"Haha, that's good!"

Seeing the words of Chengsheng, the Buddha smiled and said: "It is really worthy of you, Chengsheng, you are indeed the most enlightened and intelligent person among all of us." ”

"Maybe you are not as good as Thunder Thunder Daoyou in terms of talent alone, but in terms of comprehensive intelligence, emotional intelligence and scheming, it is completely reasonable that you can be the first among all of us to break through to the merger period!"

Chengsheng didn't answer.

He knew very well that the Buddha's praise was somewhat exaggerated.

For a person to be able to go on the path of cultivation all the way, it is not enough to have talent and understanding, but also to have great luck.

But the existence of luck and chance, mysterious and mysterious, is something that no one can say.

So Cheng Sheng didn't dwell on himself, but only changed the topic: "But I don't understand: what did Daoyou rely on to persuade the high-level of the Pollution Cleanup Department to make such a big move, build a giant machine, and use the 'law blank paper'?" The Pollution Cleanup Department does this at any cost to help Daoyou, what benefits does it take from Daoyou? ”

"Hey," the Buddha smiled.

Although Chengsheng and the Buddha are communicating with their divine senses, they can't really see the smile on their faces.

But just by using the brain to make up, you can imagine the sly smile on the Buddha's face when you survive.

The Buddha replied, "I drew a big pie with the top management of the Pollution Clean-up Department: after all, don't forget that the giant machine is not only available to me, but also to the people in the Pollution Clean-up Department. ”

"If you add the 'Law White Paper' and add a buff like 'you won't fall into madness when absorbing the power of emotions' to the machine, then the improvement speed of cultivation will be as fast as riding a rocket!"

"If all goes well. Theoretically speaking, it is not impossible for an ordinary person to break through to the Yuan Infant Stage, or even the Transformation Stage in one day! ”

Modify the rules with the power of the 'blank sheet of law', so that human beings no longer have side effects by absorbing the 'power of emotions'.

Then, with the help of the power of the machine, he will try his best to absorb the 'emotional power' of the planet.

In addition, the pollution on planet 001 is extremely serious, and there are no monks on the planet, so the 'emotional power' will not be consumed in vain, so the 'emotional power' is extremely strong.

I have to say that the Buddha's plan has simply taken up the time, place, and people.

This plan has a lot to offer.

Thinking of this, Rao has always planned to take the path of comprehending the 'power of the law', and at this moment, he can't help but be shaken by his Dao heart.

He said to the Buddha: "That fellow Daoist, when the giant machine starts, can I also come over and get a piece of the pie?" In the meantime, if there is anything I need to help, but by dispatch! ”

"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say."

The Buddha smiled and said: "We are brothers who have experienced life and death, and we naturally have to share the benefits, but Taoist friends must remember to keep this matter secret, especially not to let the people at the top of the clean-up department know." ”

"Otherwise, things may change!"

"Of course I know that." Cheng Huo thought for a while and said: "In addition, since the Buddha Daoyou and the high-level officials of the Cleanup Department are friendly, then I don't know, Daoyou can know what happened to the Emperor Night, Thunder and the Mother of Pain?" ”

The Buddha said: "Those three people were locked in the living room of the base of the Cleaning Department by the people of the Cleaning Department. ”

"In order to prevent too many changes in the plan, I pushed the boat down the river, acquiesced in the approach of the high-level officials of the Cleanup Department, and did not go to the three of them to save Huang Ye."

"In this way, the people in the cleaning department of the province are worried all day long."

"Then don't worry: I've already greeted the high-level officials of the Cleanup Department, and asked them to only trap the three of them in Huangye, and not hurt their lives."

"All in all, we should all focus on starting the 'giant machine' now."

"The three of them can only be wronged for the time being."

After the monk reaches the stage of incarnation, the retreat can often range from three to five years, or even decades.

Therefore, Huang Ye and the others, even if they were locked up in the station of the Cleanup Department for several years, or even more than ten years, were just a flick of their fingers.

So Chengsheng quickly accepted the Buddha's arrangement.

"That's okay, the three of them in the imperial night, I won't care about it for the time being."

Cheng Huo asked instead: "By the way, how long will it take for that 'giant machine' in the factory to start?" ”

"It's hard to say, it depends on when the 'law blank paper' can be written."

The Buddha said, "Changing the rules regarding the power of emotions is too much to be done in the period of writing, and almost every stroke requires the sacrifice of a human life, so that the number of writers required reaches a terrifying number." ”

"If so many people are to die, it is estimated that it will not be possible to complete it in one or two decades."

Although the Pollution Cleanup Department can often use children as writers, treating them as consumables and dying when the writing is completed.

The advantage of this is that it only takes a few years for a child to be able to hold a pen and write at a fraction of the cost.

This is short-lived, and the results are fast.

But there is also a downside to this: if children sacrifice too much, there will be a fault in human reproduction, and even extinction.

In the end, it is very likely that there will be no one available.

So the safest thing to do is to find adults who have already had children and convince them to become writers, so that the virtuous cycle can continue.
