The Eastern Region’s world of immortal cultivation, the Kingdom of Kundu.
This is an ordinary mortal country. Apart from the immortal fate tests of the immortal cultivation forces, they rarely see immortal cultivation sects.
But in recent days, many masked monks have been flying in the air above their heads, and at night there are also a large number of evil spirits sneaking around in the streets.
In the past few days, some little demons have even begun to openly break into people's homes and search house to house.
These civilians who had never seen the world were so frightened that they were trembling with fear and dared not sleep at night.
Every day when they go out, they will see new soil on the ground.
At night, those monks and little demons seemed to be looking for something, even digging and turning the soil inch by inch.
But after such a high-profile search for half a month, nothing was found.
So that night, a mountain of gold and silver was piled up on an open space far from Wangdu.
"Master Ananda, all suspicious things are here."
In front of the pile of gold, silver and a large amount of debris, the incarnation of the Buddha and the devil was floating in the air with his eyes closed and meditating.
Jiang Li's real body has to be used as a spiritual energy battery to keep the Dragon Prison Chain extending. He cannot come here in person, so he can only control the statue's clone to come here and take charge.
At the beginning, Chongshan League followed his orders and demanded jurisdiction over this country.
The governing sect of this place, the Baxing Temple, thought that some rare treasure had appeared in this mortal kingdom.
Not only did he not agree to the demands of the Chongshan Alliance, he also sent out a large number of stick monks in an attempt to show off his muscles.
But after the statue's clone and the abbot of the Baxing Temple exchanged three palm strikes, that group of guys became much more obedient. They just secretly tried to find out what the Chongshan League was trying to do and did not dare to act rashly again.
Jiang Li also used the divine eye of the statue's clone to roughly explore the entire Kundu Kingdom, but he failed to find any treasures with abundant spiritual energy or the existence of powerful cultivators.
In desperation, he could only choose a stupid method, which was to mobilize a large number of people to conduct a carpet search.
Since he took over the Chongshan League, he has developed a large number of manpower and forces. It is not a problem for Wanshiyin and Manjianghong Inn to thoroughly investigate a small mortal country.
After collecting information for this period of time, they have not yet been able to lock on to the target.
However, any suspicious objects in the royal palace of the Kundu Kingdom, government offices at all levels, and civilians' homes were collected and placed here.
In addition to various gold and silver products, even older tables, chairs and benches were not spared.
Of course, when doing this, Chongshan League did not use force or robbery.
In addition, he exchanged them for some gold and silver, a few low-grade spirit stones, and even some lowest-grade medicinal pills, which were enough to make them bow down in surprise and fear.
After hearing the report from the hermit Wanshi, Jiang Li's true consciousness finally came to him and he opened his Buddha and devil eyes.
Among his several clones, the one he is least willing to invest his original soul in is definitely the clone with broken wings, and the second most is the clone with the statue.
Because within the body of the statue's incarnation, there exist a large number of obsessions of believers and the chaotic will of the Asura world.
Compared with Jiang Li's original body, a spiritual world that was like a paradise on earth, this place was simply a crowded greenhouse with 10,000 ducks and a thick layer of feces.
The environment was so bad that it made him doubt his life.
Ignoring those garbage thoughts, Jiang Li took out a bottle of potion in an exquisite porcelain bottle.
The words "Xiao Si Alchemy Room" are printed on the bottle.
A drop of potion was dripped into the eyes of the Buddha and the demon of the statue.
The world before my eyes changed immediately.
In the normal darkness of the night, large swathes of flickering light appeared.
The light from the pile of gold and silver treasures in front of him was sparse and dim, while the group of stubborn hermits around Jiang Li almost all turned into shining people.
It radiates dazzling light from beginning to end.
These rays of light are called precious lights.
It is the same "country bumpkin vision" that Jiang Li saw when he used Biebao.
The turtle treasure that Jiang Li got that year was used twice by him. If he used it again, it would probably be damaged.
Later, during a visit to the set, Xiao Si took a fancy to the turtle treasure and asked for it.
The talented fourth junior sister, after some tinkering, successfully extracted the power inside.
And it is not confined to the traditional form of elixir, but made into eye drops like this.
Two drops will take effect for a quarter of an hour, and there is no need to repeatedly cut open the flesh, insert the beads, and remove the beads as before.
Let all his Chongshan monks step back. In the eyes of this country bumpkin, any magic weapon is as bright as a flashlight. The higher the grade, the more dazzling it is. They will only be a hindrance here.
If it weren't for the fact that this turtle treasure had unique power in large-scale treasure hunting, Jiang Li would have thrown it away long ago.
With the help of Tubie's treasure hunting vision, Jiang Li used his spiritual energy to sweep away the mountain of gold and silver layer by layer and kept observing.
But in his vision, these gold and silver objects could only emit a few fluorescent lights at most, and he didn't see anything outstanding until the end.
This situation made him feel a little disappointed.
What was so special about this country? His people had investigated almost every citizen, from the king to the beggars, and even the livestock in the cowshed and pigsty were not spared.
It wasn't the object, nor the person. What had he missed, or was someone hiding something? Jiang Li thought about it, and controlled his clone to leap high into the sky, looking down from above.
The Buddha and the demon swept his eyes across the entire royal city, and suddenly his gaze focused slightly. His eyes discovered several rays of light shining through a mass grave outside the royal city.
There is something in the mass grave! Jiang Li, who had been waiting for half a month, was suddenly excited after finally seeing something decent.
But please don’t let it be a spiritual stone that falls into the soil, or he will be angry to death.
The figure disappeared in the air, and when it appeared again, it was already in a cemetery covered with weeds and earth.
Several wild dogs that were digging the soil in search of bones raised their heads and let out menacing growls in the direction of the statue's clone.
But after seeing the pair of Buddha's and devil's eyes, the pack of wild dogs immediately whimpered in fear and turned around and ran away.
Jiang Li followed the precious light and found a mound of earth that was almost flattened by rain after so many years.
Judging from its appearance, it should be more than ten years old.
Beside this mound of earth, there were many white bones that were obviously human. They seemed to have been dug out and placed here by the wild dogs just now.
The wild dogs were worshipping something.
He rubbed his hands and suddenly felt like he had opened a treasure chest.
Could something buried in a wild grave be related to the anomaly in the Kundu Kingdom?
Jiang Li's mind moved, and spiritual energy flowed into the ground, and the soil in front of him automatically turned over. A strange breath immediately came out from it.
A moment later, a yellow cloth package was turned out from the soil and fell into Jiang Li's hands.
These are all that are buried under this mound of earth.
It shook slightly, and some crisp sounds of bones colliding were heard inside the yellow cloth.
He looked at the yellow cloth again, and saw Buddhist scriptures written in gold lacquer on it. If nothing unexpected happened, it should have been done by the nearby Baxing Temple.
"It seems that they are hiding something from me."
The bloody chaotic power in his hand corroded the scripture and soon wiped out the scripture wrapped in the yellow cloth.
He casually unwrapped the cloth bag and found inside was a skeleton no bigger than a palm.
However, after examining it carefully for a moment, he found that it was not the skeleton of a human child.
But, a puppy? The Eight-Line Temple specially sealed and buried a newborn dog?
Buzz! At this moment, the Yin Qi of heaven and earth gathered together, and a faint light flashed in the puppy's skull.
A vicious soul rushed straight into the forehead of the statue's clone.
Fortunately, attacks of this level can no longer have any effect on Jiang Li.
A golden light flashed behind him, and a Buddha's hand stretched out and grabbed the soul.
A mouthful of teeth bit into the Buddha's hand, and the soul caught in the hand was still biting desperately.

"Om, Mani, Padme Hum!"
The incarnation of the deity chanted the six-word mantra of Buddhism, and once the ten thousand-word Buddhist seal appeared, it suppressed the evil spirit in its hand, making it give up its anger and return to its original form.
It was a white puppy with smooth fur, about the size of a palm, and its umbilical cord had not yet fallen off.
This puppy must have been killed shortly after it was born and buried here.
Moreover, the white puppy's ears were broken off at the root and disappeared without a trace. Obviously there was something fishy going on.
"Little guy, what are your origins?"
Jiang Li stared at the white puppy for a long time but couldn't figure out what breed it was.
However, judging from its soul, the puppy was killed right after birth, and was trapped here by Buddhist scriptures for more than a dozen years.
But instead of being destroyed, the strength of this soul was not inferior to that of a cultivator who had reached the state of incarnation, and was even stronger.
If it had no power and was not ignorant, Jiang Li would probably not be sure of defeating it.
I used the identification technique, but unfortunately the results were just [the skeleton of a white puppy] and [the soul of a white puppy], with a bunch of question marks underneath. It had no practical value at all.
Jiang Li conjured up a flexible Nine Netherworld vine and put it around the neck of the puppy's soul. He then carried it and its corpse towards the palace of the Kundu Kingdom.
This kind of thing was buried outside their royal city only a dozen years ago. Jiang Li didn't believe that the royal family would not know about it.
In just a blink of an eye, the statue clone controlled by Jiang Li had already arrived at the palace.
The trembling king and queen were "invited" out of their bed and walked into the main hall with horror on their faces.
When they saw the statue's incarnation, they immediately wanted to bow down and worship it.
But then he noticed the piece of yellow cloth and the pile of bones spread out on the long table.
The two most powerful men in the country had their pupils constricted and could not hide the panic on their faces.
"It seems you know it."
"We are merciful and did not use soul-searching on you."
"But in return you deliberately concealed the truth, causing tens of thousands of monks to waste half a month here in vain!"
"As a king, what kind of punishment do you think you should receive? Throw your soul into a fire and burn it for a hundred years, or a thousand years?"
Jiang Li's half-Buddha, half-demon face calmly told such stories.
He wasn't trying to scare the other person.
He is just the king of a mortal kingdom. He doesn't even need to do anything himself. As long as he shows a little dissatisfaction, a large number of monks will come and take away their heads.
As the price for deceiving others, no one would think there was anything wrong with Jiang Li killing them.
A king and a queen, both of them immediately kowtowed like crazy, and soon a big lump appeared on their foreheads and began to ooze blood. Even though they were pampered on weekdays, they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction at this moment.
Because the people in front of them can change their dynasties with just one word.
"Tell me, what's going on."
After a while, Jiang Li tapped the table with his fingers, and the two men stopped as if they had been pardoned.
After a pause, the king began to tell the secret of the yellow cloth bag.
"It...it's a monster!"
"Thirteen years ago, my former queen gave birth. This white monster was born together with my first son!"
The king of the Kundu Kingdom, with a grim look on his face, recounted in person the past events that he had strictly ordered to remain silent, or rather, the scandals.
Whenever he talked about the puppy and his first son, his voice would unconsciously lower, showing a very resistant mentality.
No wonder he didn't talk about this before.
Jiang Li became excited when he heard it.
The "together" in his words does not mean together in time, but together in space.
It turns out that this king had a queen.
The queen had been pregnant for eight years and three months, and gave birth to twin sons on a rainy night thirteen years ago.
One of them was a prince with ugly black lines all over his body.
The other one is this white puppy that has turned into bones.
Being pregnant for eight years and three months is already a strange thing.
Think about it, even Li Jing from Chentangguan, who was obviously a cultivator, could not accept such a thing.
As a result, a dog fetus was born in a human body, which is even worse than substituting a cat for a prince.
The king naturally could not think that it was his own problem. Since it was not his fault, it must be the queen's improper behavior that caused the invasion of evil spirits.
If the queen gave birth to a dog fetus, it would be a shameful scandal for the royal family.
If this were to be spread, all kinds of rumors about the king's inhumanity would spread the next day, which might even lead to a rebellion.
Even without considering these, the king would not even look at a woman who gave birth to a dog fetus.
So, although the queen's fate was only briefly mentioned in the king's narration, it is easy to imagine that it must have been terrible.
Later, King Kundu spent a great deal of money to invite monks from the Baxing Temple to handle the matter for them.
It was also at that time that the white dog was killed and sealed and buried in a mass grave.
And that prince, who was a half-brother of the white dog, looked like a human being after all, and was ultimately spared.
However, every time I heard him talk about his son with reluctance, I knew that the prince would not have a good ending.
