Chapter 592: Plague, Dirty People
"I know little girls are naughty, so it's okay to let her be a mistress."
As soon as Naga said this, the expressions on everyone's faces changed to varying degrees.
On the side, Yu Cang, who had just finished pretending and was posing, almost couldn't hold it in.
The hunter's speech is still as shocking as ever.
"Let him be the mistress", a phrase that only existed in the last century, was actually heard here so clearly.
Qiu Jindong was a little confused, but his face was slightly serious. He cupped his hands and said:
"Then, Patriarch, we in Yan Country no longer tolerate distinctions between people of high and low status. Please do not say such things again."
Seeing Qiu Jindong's expression, Naga moved his lips and could only sigh.
"Well, that's it."
In fact, based on his observation of Cang and his group today, he also felt that this would be difficult to accomplish.
But for a genius like Yu Cang who is unparalleled, we still have to give it a try no matter what.
Now that he was rejected, he did not insist, but simply said: "Well... everyone please follow me, the dinner is not over yet."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Na Jun who was still standing there in a daze, frowning.
"What are you still standing there for? You're such a disgrace!"
My daughter has decent talent, but her mentality is terrible!
Just being insulted has turned him into this. After suffering such a blow today, there will definitely be a demon in his heart.
It would be fine if it were just that, but he actually ignored my advice and forced a breakthrough... Humph.
"Ah?" Na Jun trembled all over, as if he was frightened.
Only then did she realize what she had done.
In the Tent of Longevity, the strong prey on the weak, and even though she is the daughter of Naga, she cannot escape this.
Her beauty and capriciousness are due to her talent. If she grows up normally, she may add another guardian to the clan, so she becomes arrogant because of her favor.
But today, she made a hasty breakthrough just to prove herself... This destroyed her potential and talent to a certain extent. Will she... still be able to have such privileges in the tribe in the future?
Especially, she knew her father very well. The patriarchal Naga's feelings for her were all due to his talent. Now...
Just now, my father wanted me to get married!
It certainly wouldn't have been like this before...
For a moment, an inexplicable fear filled Na Jun's heart, causing her eyes to tremble unconsciously.
…
Everyone returned to the big tent together. The dancer who had left earlier was already waiting there. When she saw everyone sitting down, she started dancing again.
To be honest, although the dancer danced very hard, her professionalism was not as good as those professional dancers Yu Cang had seen in Yan Country. He could only enjoy the exotic charm.
After sitting down this time, the enthusiasm on Naga's face was obviously much more sincere, and he repeatedly invited everyone to drink.
However, being on someone else's territory, no one dared to indulge in such things. They only tasted the wine and took a few bites of the food.
Everyone has naturally done the simple toxin detection procedure, but it is always better to be safe than sorry.
During the meal, when the atmosphere had calmed down a little, Qiu Jindong suddenly spoke.
"Speaking of which, Patriarch, I have something I want to ask you."
"Ambassador, please speak freely!"
"Before coming to the Longevity Tent, I heard that there is a strange disease in the Longevity Tent that can make the afflicted person unable to help but hurt others. Is this true?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Naga's expression changed slightly.
He put down the wine glass in his hand, his gaze lingered on Lou Yan who was silent beside him, and then he nodded slowly.
"What the ambassador said is... correct. However, there are reasons for this incident."
Autumn nears winter: "I'd like to hear the details."
"Well..." Naga turned his head and looked at Nazhe, "I heard from my daughter that when you met Zhe'er, you encountered a moving immortal Dharma image?"
"Yes, there was almost a misunderstanding at that time."
"That immortal Dharma image is actually the transformation of someone infected with the so-called 'mysterious disease'."
Having said that, Naga snorted coldly.
"This matter has even reached Yan Country... How shameful."
“…”
"Ambassador, let me be frank. That's not some strange disease at all. It's the Desolate Sect using some kind of magic to try to infect the power of immortality!" Naga explained, "You should have seen this before. Those who practice the immortality method will transform into the immortal Dharma image after death and go to the immortal seat.
"Once you fall prey to the Desolate Sect's tactics, not only will you suffer endless torture and be controlled by violent emotions during your lifetime, but after death, your Immortal Dharma Image will transform into a 'dirty person.' This dirty person may appear identical to the Immortal Dharma Image on the surface, but within, they've been corrupted!
"A normal Changsheng Dharma image wouldn't move, but the filthy person not only moved, but was even more violent than when he was alive. He would even actively kill and devour living people... Since he'd been tainted, Changsheng naturally wouldn't take him away. This person's lifelong cultivation efforts would be completely wasted."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed slightly.
Yu Cang also nodded secretly.
So that's how it is... This kind of "disease" should only infect people who have practiced the method of immortality... From this point of view, his guess is correct. This is the experiment conducted by the Desolate Sect to allow the Desolate to infect humans.
The method of longevity is a card-banning method. The process of active practice will destroy one's own soul energy well, thus creating opportunities for the infection of "Huang".
From this perspective, the bite marks on the waist and abdomen of the strangely dead corpse that I encountered when I first arrived at the Changsheng Tent can also be explained.
It must have been eaten by some "dirty person" who came from nowhere.
While Yu Cang was thinking, Qiu Jindong asked:
"Wouldn't that strange disease infect ordinary people?"
"So far, there's no precedent for ordinary people being infected. Only those who practice the Changsheng method are infected," Naga said. "The Imperial Master's people call this strange disease 'Killing Epidemic,' hoping to link this power with Changsheng's 'Sir of Tribulation' incarnation... Humph, tampering with the Changsheng scriptures, sooner or later, Changsheng will personally send him to an eternal hell."
Naga naturally couldn't stand the behavior of the national teacher.
Putting aside the factor of faith, this so-called plague has shaken the foundation of their tribe's rule over the Longevity Tent!
In fact, all these tribes know what the method of immortality is.
It is true that by cultivating the Dharma of Immortality one can go to the Buddha’s kingdom.
As for whether this Buddhist country is under the seat of Changsheng... it is likely not.
The royal Lou family has been stealing the power of immortality. Over the years, the Lou family has given birth to many legends, but the power of immortality has never shown any signs of exhaustion, and has not even decreased... What does it rely on? Of course, it is the support of the people in the immortal tent!
The power of the "Eternal Life Dharma Image" that was cultivated was plundered by the Buddhist Kingdom, and then fed back to the contemporary Khan, thus completing the cycle!
It is precisely because of this that the Changsheng Tent has never had a change of dynasty for thousands of years. The rule of the Lou family is as solid as iron and will not be shaken by anyone.
No one can defeat Emperor Khan in the Longevity Tent.
As the rulers of the Ninth Tent, the Na clan naturally has no share in the power of immortality.
Even if many of the people under their rule cultivate immortal Dharma bodies, not a single bit of power will fall on them... But even so, they have never thought of overthrowing this system.
Because it’s really useful.
With this "method of immortality", people below will honestly practice step by step, and eventually make themselves unable to move. In this way, no one will cause trouble at all.
Just like that Ye, whose child died in the war, they didn't have to do anything. They just had to tell him that the child went to live under the throne of Changsheng, and they would foolishly believe it.
As for who started the war and who is responsible?
Naga doesn't need to consider any of this.
Moreover, it’s not that they are completely unable to share in the power of immortality.
Although they cannot truly use the power of immortality to cultivate, the Great King's Court will grant them some immortality instruments so that when they fight in the immortality tent, they can use the power of immortality to temporarily improve their combat effectiveness.
A powerful national warrior + a magical weapon for immortality, even if a myth comes, they dare not touch it.
In this way, their rule is unbreakable and they can continue to exploit ordinary people. Why not do it?
As vested interests, they don't want to destroy the current system at all.
However, the behavior of the national teacher is completely contrary to the current system.
Allowing the Desolate Sect to tamper with the scriptures? Infected with the Dharma of Immortality?
When everyone realizes that only those who practice the art of longevity will be infected with the plague, who will still practice the art of longevity?
If the people below don’t practice the method of immortality, this will be more painful than killing them!
Thinking of this, Naga sighed deeply, and then beautified his "hardships" and told them all to Qiu Jindong.
Judging from their previous performance, these people already know the truth about the method of immortality, so they don't care about hiding it.
The other party are all smart people, and they can guess what he is saying even without him saying it.
On the contrary, speaking out can show that they do have irreconcilable conflicts with the national teacher, so that Qiu Jindong and others can trust themselves more.
"Haha... this Sa Jue is definitely not a human being." Qiu Jindong narrowed his eyes.
He looked at the food on the table, using his lowered eyelids to conceal the hint of coldness in his eyes.
More than just a national teacher.
Among the ruling class of the Changsheng Tent, none of them are human.
As a Yan countryman, Qiu Jindong almost instinctively felt disgusted by this primitive, bloody and cruel system.
Naga didn't notice the change in Qiu Jindong's expression, and just sighed:
"Alas, the Kusa of the Longevity Tent has been gone for a long time!"
Naga wanted to say something, to play the victim, but Qiu Jindong said directly:
"Then Patriarch, it's getting late. I'll let the junior go back first. I'll discuss the next cooperation with you in detail."
After all, he is old and has some self-control, so he doesn't curse out loud.
But he was afraid that if Naga said something else, the hot-blooded young men behind him would take action directly.
The Killing Army is a force that can be relied upon. The Great King's Court is facing many crises, so any help is appreciated.
Hearing this, Naga blinked.
"Well then... Ambassador, please do as you please."
Qiu Jindong turned around and gave Yu Cang a few glances.
Yu Cang understood and left in silence with a few people.
…
Walking out of the big tent, the night breeze blew, and everyone felt much more relaxed.
"This hunting tribe..." Gu Jieshuang hesitated to speak.
But after hesitating for a long time, he just clicked his tongue and didn't say anything else.
Wen Ren Ge was silent, and the smile that usually appeared on his face disappeared without a trace.
A group of people were walking on the way back to their accommodation.
At this time, Yu Cang looked at Lou Yan, who had also been silent:
"What do you think?"
“…Teacher, I…”
Lou Yan was speechless, but his fists were clenched tightly.
Seeing this, Yu Cang said nothing, but suddenly said:
"You saved those two desperate hunters, that's good." Yu Cang paused, "However, the hunters are in short supply, and farming doesn't require too many people. After all, more rations are always needed for those who work."
Hearing this, Lou Yan paused, as if realizing something.
Yu Cang continued, "Those two were brought here by Nazhe himself. I don't think the people below will do anything to them, but the same can't be said for the others... Maybe someone will lose their job because of them."
"I... I don't know..." Lou Yan's eyes began to tremble.
After staying in this camp for half a day, he already knew deeply that this killing army was not someone to be trifled with.
They won't pretend to be some kind of rebel army and protect civilians.
The reason for bringing those ordinary people into this camp is, firstly, to grow some food, and secondly - of course, to produce human pills.
There are many people in the army who practice the art of immortality!
Then, if they caused two or more serfs to lose their jobs due to their own faults, what would be their fate...
Isn't that equivalent to killing someone with your own hands?
Lou Yan, who was already in a very heavy mood, was completely thrown into disarray after hearing these words.
Seeing this, Yu Cang sighed imperceptibly.
"I don't blame you. With backward productivity and systems, you'll never be able to save everyone." He said, "Lou Yan, it's useless to just destroy the Buddha statue. You have to create new ones for them."
"New..." Lou Yan raised his head, "Teacher, what should I do?"
Yu Cang smiled: "You are the prince of the Hunter Clan, you know what you should do better than me."
…
After discussing the specific details of the cooperation with Qiu Jindong, Naga left the tent, reeking of alcohol.
But at this time, his mind was still clear.
He was thinking carefully about what Qiu Jindong had just said.
Behind him, Na Jun disappeared, only Na Zhe was still following him silently.
After thinking for a long time, Naga still had no clue and shook his head.
I'd better go back and see what my father says.
Not long after, he returned to a tent, lifted the curtain and pushed the door open.
"Father, you are testing..."
Naga's tone suddenly paused.
He looked at the scene in front of him and felt a chill running down his spine.
"Father!"
He screamed in shock and rushed into the tent in two steps.
At this moment, in the center of the big tent, an old man with a hunched face was lying there, his face was pale, and the ground was covered with blood!
When he got closer, Naga quickly helped the old man up.
"Father, what's wrong with you? You... didn't you go to test Qiu Jindong and the others' hidden strength? How did you get hurt like this?"
The person in front of him is Naga's father, Nazhe's grandfather, and the actual ruler of the Na clan - Nalong!
He is the strongest of the clan. He is now over 110 years old and is the top guardian of the country!
At this moment, this national guardian looked like he was about to die, and the horror in his eyes had not subsided until now.
“No…it’s okay…”
"Who hurt you? I'll avenge you right now..."
"Shut up!"
The dragon's face suddenly became fierce, and he grabbed Naga's mouth to prevent him from saying the rest of the words.
This seemed to agitate the wound, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning even paler.
“Cough, cough…”
After coughing violently a few times, the dragon slowly said:
"Nothing...happened..."
Naga: “…”
Looking at the miserable appearance of the dragon, at this moment, he completely put away the little thoughts in his heart.
