Chapter 744: Lives and Souls
Li Yunxin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The other party really said this. He did have some faith now...... The 10,000-year-old ancestor in front of him has lived for more than 40,000 years.
But as soon as these words fell, the old man's translucent body suddenly flickered. Li Yunxin immediately used his demonic power, I am afraid that the other party is going to play some tricks. But then I heard a cry from far and near from the ocean: "Fuck, it's hard, it's fucking hard!"
A black light came from far and near, buzzing through the window, condensing into a human form on the ground. The demonic wind swept through the house—fortunately there were no ornaments, otherwise it would have been a mess.
This kind of momentum is naturally out of the emperor.
When the black-robed ghost emperor saw Li Yunxin, he shouted: "Brother Li, I have to help me this time—that big array is difficult, difficult!"
As he spoke, he looked around - Li Yunxin has been living leisurely these days, and he has nothing to do to get some snacks that he likes. Emperor Li's life enjoyed all the glory and wealth. As he said, men and women are tired of it, so they are interested in "wonderful people" like Qin Jun. The same is true for food - after tasting Li Yunxin's "craftsmanship" a few times, I am also interested. Every time you come to find something new.
It's like a child running out to go crazy, and when he is mad and tired, he goes home to rest and eat and drink. Eat and drink enough before running out.
After seeing the 10,000-year-old ancestor opposite Li Yunxin, he was stunned and glared: "Who is this old thing?"
The old man smiled, his ass slightly out of his seat and arched his hand at him, and there was no shelf at all. Whoever saw it would not think that it was the "Ten Thousand Year Ancestor" who led the Lifeless Immortal Gate.
Li Yunxin was interrupted by this emperor, but he was not in a hurry. He thought about it for a while, then said to Emperor Lidi with a smile: "You ask me for help in this matter, and I will also be in trouble." But the one in front of Brother Ji is a noble person - looking for him can get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Emperor Li glared at the old man: "Who are you?"
Old Ancestor also smiled: "Little Lao'er has lived on the sea for a long time, and he knows a little about that big array. But to solve your troubles...... But there is no hurry. You are coming by land, but I want to ask about the situation on land first. ”
Emperor Li turned his face to look at Li Yunxin and frowned. According to Li Yunxin's understanding of him these days, he should be asking, "Does this old man really have a way to be long-winded?" Do you want me to kill him first.
He spread his hands: "I want to hear it too." Don't worry, man, let's talk about it. ”
Emperor Li was full of doubts, and he didn't know what kind of medicine these two guys were selling in the gourd. But when I saw Li Yunxin for the first time, I felt that this kid had an appetite, so he finally gave a little bit of his precious patience - turned his face and glared at the 10,000-year-old ancestor: "If you were so verbose in front of Lao Tzu in the past, you would have to be beheaded!"
After saying this, he snorted and took a stool to sit on himself, waved his hand, and frowned: "What do you want to listen to? What is there to hear? There are many dead people on land!"
Old Ancestor blinked: "This ...... What is the current situation of the Xuanmen?"
Emperor Li sneered: "Xuanmen? hahahaha, that group of stinky Taoist priests are all dead!"
This ghost emperor probably didn't master the ability to communicate and communicate with people well before he was alive. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to ask. But this 10,000-year-old ancestor has lived for more than 40,000 years, and his speaking skills are also clever. With a smile and kind eyebrows, he coaxed him to talk to him, and finally smoothed out his hair. came and went, and indeed a lot of news came out.
Li Yunxin slowly drank tea on the side, watching these two "people" communicate. He was also interested in what was going on on land today. Second, I also want to see why this 10,000-year-old ancestor asked these things.
Is it true, as he said, that it is the lives of people on land that are concerned and nothing else?
Just listened to Emperor Lidi for a while, and he slowly put down the teacup in his hand.
I thought that it would not be peaceful on land, but I didn't expect it to be so peaceful.
He once said to Liu Gongzan that once the Xuanmen falls, all the demon kings will inevitably appear. There are many demon soldiers under the command of those demon kings, and without the restraint of the monks, it must be a terrible scene of eating according to the city and bleeding all over the ground.
But under the cloud mountain, most of the demons on the land died. I thought that the situation after that would not be as terrible as I had imagined. There are few surviving demons, and the middle land is vast and sparsely populated, so perhaps the situation will be more optimistic.
But the world in the emperor's mouth seems to be even more terrifying than he expected.
It is important to know that the change of dynasties and the turmoil of conquest should have been the norm in the world. The great aristocrats held power, and in this era they also held wealth. People's ** is endless, and the nobles will also multiply from generation to generation. After giving birth to an heir and being promoted to a knighthood, you also need to enjoy the glory. In today's world, land is the foundation of prosperity and wealth.
Therefore, like the previous dynasties of Li Yunxin's world, more and more poor people will lose their land. What they lose will be concentrated in the hands of the nobles. As a result, there are more and more poor people, but there is less and less land for the poor to live and work.
If a large-scale war could occur, it could also cause a massive demolition. However, under the "protection" of Xuanmen, there is only small friction between countries at most, and a major war is impossible. As a result, irreconcilable contradictions are becoming more and more serious.
When this contradiction is serious to a certain extent, a dynasty should be overthrown—many people died and much land was vacated in the process of overthrowing the dynasty. The survivors were given the land and gradually settled down to recuperate, and another "rule of the world" began. Until there are more and more nobles in this dynasty, and the land annexation is becoming more and more powerful, the world will be in chaos again, and the next dynasty will appear.
But in this world, there is no such solution.
When the contradiction intensified to the point where there was no solution and the world should be in turmoil, Xuanmen suppressed this turmoil with a strong and powerful hand.
Li Yunxin was in Qingguo before, and felt that the environment of Qingguo was not much different from the ancient dynasties in his world history. This is because Gyeongkook was founded hundreds of years ago and has rarely experienced a major war, so it can be regarded as a "young" country.
But in other countries, the "millennial peace" that people talk about is not a good thing. Those who can speak out are the upper echelons of this world, and they can't see the suffering of the people. In the glorious and unreaching, a large number of poor people live in darkness.
Even in a prosperous place like Qingguo Weicheng, hundreds of people die every year when the snow falls, let alone elsewhere.
The undercurrent has been surging for a long time. It's just that I've been holding and pressing hard before, and it looks like it's all right.
But Xuanmen fell.
As soon as the big hand holding the lid disappeared, it was impossible for the secular imperial power to resist this trend that had accumulated for thousands of years.
Almost in January, the Continent was filled with beacon fires. Large-scale peasant uprisings broke out in every country, without exception. The madness and anger of the oppressed are beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and the "righteous army" composed of these people has no grass wherever they go, but all those who have made meritorious names and official positions have been tortured and killed to death.
In fact, it is difficult to say who "deserves it" at this point. The former oppressed came to power in a way that was no different from the former oppressors – they were just human beings, after all.
If it's just a war between humans, it's fine. But now there are many unrestrained demons in the world. At first, the demons did kill people and eat people as Li Yun expected. But today's people are also red-eyed, and there are armed "rebel army" and "official army" everywhere. Those big demons with terrifying supernatural powers are fine, but those little demons can't be as happy as before in front of these humans.
In the past, the little demon was stronger than the people, and he was born with a terrifying appearance, and with a little magical power, he could make ordinary people frightened and let them be slaughtered. But now that people see that there are more and more demons, they are not as afraid as before. Even if the little demons have sharp teeth and sharp mouths, they are limited in power compared to big knives and spears. A demon in the realm of illusion and transformation will not be able to benefit from hundreds or thousands of human soldiers, and will even die.
So after the first good days had passed, their bad days came—many believed that eating the flesh of demons could also gain divine powers or ward off evil spirits. Thus they all became prey to each other, and they both became hunters.
Li Yunxin knows this kind of thing. If you want to quickly extinguish something, you only need to make humans believe that this thing is "edible", "delicious", and "nourishing yin and aphrodisiac". The next thing will evolve into a situation of "even God will eat for you".
As for those big demons, the power of human beings can't deal with them, but there are still Xuanmen monks and Freemasonry spirits who participate.
At the beginning, a considerable number of monks under the Cloud Mountain fled after realizing that the Twin Saints had been transferred. Some have since refuted from this world, while others have tried to establish their own lineage in the mortal world. The Freemasonry spirits were abandoned by the elders and became a "new Freemasonry". These people are actually similar to the situation that the Ten Thousand Years Ancestor said about himself.
They don't know the "truth". In their eyes, they still only have the Middle Continent and the human world. I think that this world will last forever, so I work hard and strive for what I can get in front of me.
They were born into men, and at this time they also went to the side of men. In this troubled world, they fought against demons together, showed their magical powers, and quickly gathered a large number of believers.
In this way, all the powers that were once suppressed by the Xuanmen and had to hide in the shadows of the human world were unscrupulously displayed.
When Li Yunxin was in Dongting, he had seen the methods of the Xuanjing monks-Kun Wuzi made a thousand miles of water overturn in one move. I have also seen the methods of the True Realm Cultivator - the head of the Shangqing Danding Sect used a poison pill to kill all the creatures in the lake.
Now these forces are unrestrained...... Li Yunxin could imagine how much damage they could cause.
Almost every monk in the True Realm is a nuclear bomb that can be reused many times in a short period of time......
In this way, in just two months, the population of the Central Continent has plummeted by 60%!
In today's Middle Continent, I am afraid that there are more lonely souls and wild ghosts than living people. Otherwise, there would be no hundreds of thousands of ghost troops in the emperor, and all of them are fierce ghosts who are resentful because of vain death.
Hearing this, the Ten Thousand Year Ancestor was stunned for a while. Then he sighed: "To this point...... Is that the point?"
Li Yunxin looked at him: "I listened to Qin Fengzi speak, and I think that you don't know anything about the land in your party." It seems that there is some eyeliner on land, too—didn't you know this was the case now?"
"The eyeliner is there. Alas......" the Ten Thousand Year Ancestor sighed, "but the Dragon King should know. If you have a high cultivation, you can't go to land to do eyeliner. Although the Middle Continent is vast, it is also controlled by the Xuanmen. How striking a practitioner who does not belong to the Xuanmen is to be seen. Therefore, it was all disciples walking on land. But what do they know...... It can't be compared with the two. ”
"Oh. Either you can only know the overall situation, or you can only know the situation in one place, and it is not systematic. Li Yunxin nodded understandingly. Then he also sighed, "Looking at it this way, I also have a 'credit' in these disasters." ”
Emperor Li snorted: "What kind of disaster is this. When Lao Tzu was in power, he wanted to expand the territory, but those stinky Taoist priests pressed him. I think I have more than 100 million people from the country, but I have an army of 800,000. Brother Li thought about it—since I can't use troops externally, why do I have to support so many people? hehe...... Without this 800,000-strong army, I am afraid that the mob would have entered Lao Tzu's Golden Palace!"
"As soon as Lao Tzu dies, okay, when he goes around the country, he will cry and cry! Listen carefully to what they are crying about? Crying Lao Tzu didn't die sooner! Fuck it-" He spat angrily, "Is Lao Tzu trying to make them starve to death and freeze to death? Lao Tzu also wants to be a Ming Jun! But how to do it!? If they can use troops abroad and swallow all those national industries and countries, they still need to starve and freeze? Phew! are all those stinky Taoist priests!"
"You've done a beautiful job on Yunshan! Stinky Taoist priests are in chaos! Kill and kill, kill and kill! It will be good after the chaos is over! Whose deeds are not built on white bones?!"
"Right now, Lao Tzu has hundreds of thousands of ghost troops in his hands, and he doesn't need to eat military salaries! Hehe, when I take down that big array to sweep the sea and find out what kind of 10,000-year-old ancestor is, this is the ghost country! In the future, I will detain all those who did anything wrong in my life...... Lao Tzu also passed the addiction of those stinky Taoist priests, and became a Ming Jun and a Dark King who rewarded good and punished evil!"
"You actually have such ambition?!" The Ten Thousand Year Ancestor slapped his face with surprise for the first time, "Your Excellency is saying what is in your heart?"
Emperor Li frowned and looked at him: "Who are you, this old thing, dare to ask Lao Tzu if what he said is true or false?"
Li Yunxin shook his head and smiled: "Brother Ji, let me tell you." The person in front of you is the head of the Immortal Sect - the Ten Thousand Years Ancestor. The great array that stumped you was his. ”
Emperor Li's eyes widened. looked at Li Yunxin, and then looked at the Ten Thousand Years Ancestor, and shouted: "What are you doing!?You two are partnering to Yin Laozi!?" 8)
