A secluded land in the south.
Most of this land of thousands of miles is covered by colorful poisonous jungles, with miasma and swamps everywhere, breeding a large number of poisonous insects and monsters, making it difficult for ordinary people to survive.
The southern barbarian practitioners who can survive here and establish a country all have superb skills in using poisons and taming beasts. Even ordinary people know how to distinguish poisons.
Therefore, most of the monsters used for trade in the Central Region also flowed in from the Southern Barbarians, which is also the largest industry of the Southern Barbarians.
However, due to the existence of the extremely brutal Bloody Cult, the people in the Central Region do not have a very good impression of the Southern Barbarians, and often think that the Southern Barbarians are crude and brutal.
There are sixteen countries in the Southern Barbarians, the largest of which is called Daxi, and is also the country completely controlled by the Blood Evil Cult.
The priest of the Bloody Cult is the king of the Daxi Kingdom.
Today, Daxi welcomed several unfamiliar guests.
The leader was a middle-aged man of medium height, with a thin and vigorous face. He was wearing a gray Taoist robe and looked like an ordinary practitioner.
Following behind him was an old man with a white face and no beard. He was always slightly bent over and followed the middle-aged man with an extremely respectful expression.
The two stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated house.
This house obviously belongs to a poor family. There are a lot of poisonous substances drying in the small yard at the door, but the quality is average. This is the source of income for this family.
If an ordinary person wants to catch this poisonous creature, he will risk his life. If he is not careful, he may die immediately.
Even in the South, no one would choose to make a living by doing this unless they were desperate.
The middle-aged man in the gray Taoist robe was obviously Ji Chengtian.
Among the clothes hanging on the clothesline outside the house, there was a baby wrap, but there was no baby crying inside the house, which seemed a bit strange.
Ji Chengtian reached out and lifted the door curtain, walked in, and immediately startled the man who was happily counting the silver and money in his hand and the woman who was crying next to him.
——The currency of the Sixteen Southern Barbarian Kingdoms was different from that of the Central Region. Because there were many silver mines, they used silver coins for circulation.
The man immediately put away the silver in his hand, a fierce look flashed on his face, and he immediately picked up the axe beside him and shouted in southern barbarian language:
"Who are you?! Get out! Someone come! There are robbers!"
Ji Chengtian ignored this person, but looked around and said:
"It seems we are a step late."
Not long ago, he just learned that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory had calculated the birthplace of Donghuang. Although it was a bit unexpected, he thought it was not a big problem. Who knew that he would be one step late.
Especially since they were in the Nanman territory at this moment, Ji Chengtian could only come here using the art of splitting himself into two, as he didn't want to cause too much noise.
The Zhou Kingdom naturally does not need to be afraid of this tiny place, but if the saint dies again in this reincarnation, it will take a lot of time to find him.
Moreover, although repeated reincarnation will not damage the soul, it will affect the memory.
If it happens more times, then... the chances of it being uncontrollable will be even greater.
The eunuch following behind him said hurriedly:
"Your Majesty, now that we know the birthplace of the saint, retrieving it will be very simple."
The eunuch took two steps forward, took out a gold ingot, handed it to the couple, and asked some questions in the southern barbarian dialect.
The man was surprised and confused at first, but when he saw the gold ingot, his eyes immediately lit up.
Tell everything in detail.
The eunuch replied:
"Your Majesty, he said that his family had a daughter born two months ago. As soon as she was born, she was chosen by the higher-ups to enter the palace and become the Saint's attendant. For this, he received a reward of three hundred silver coins."
Ji Chengtian frowned and his eyes flashed.
"Saint? When did the Southern Barbarians have a Saint? There's no news from outside."
The Blood Evil Cult has not attempted to launch an offensive against the Central Region in recent years. I thought they had been behaving themselves, but I didn't expect them to do this little trick in secret.
Now that the reincarnation of the Eastern Emperor has directly joined the Blood Evil Sect, this matter has become several times more troublesome...
The eunuch asked again, but how could the common people know about such things?
Naturally, he knew nothing about anything.
"Since he is inside the Daxi Palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to come out in the short term."
Because the Xueye Cult is proficient in witchcraft and sorcery, it has extremely strict control over its own people. Over the years, even Ji Chengtian has found it difficult to plant a few spies in.
Those who can join the Blood Destiny Cult now are those who forcibly used the secret technique of possession to possess the bodies of the children of the Southern Barbarians, and then "by chance" joined the Blood Destiny Cult and infiltrated it.
Unlike reincarnation, the method of possession is extremely vicious and causes great damage to the soul. If one cannot return to the original body within a certain period of time, he will die immediately within twenty years at most.
It is not easy to train spies, and if they are exposed, it will be a great loss.
Ji Chengtian pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's contact 'Bee'."
The eunuch nodded: "Yes."
The two chatted for a long time, both speaking the Central Domain dialect. The couple next to them were both excited and nervous. They finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the two out.
The eunuch bowed respectfully until Ji Chengtian's figure disappeared, then he slowly turned around.
He stretched out his hand and gently grasped it, and the hatchet in the man's hand suddenly flew up and turned into a silver light.
“Shh! Shh!”
Blood spurted from the couple's necks, their facial expressions froze at that moment, and they fell to the ground in an instant.
The eunuch chuckled and stretched out his hand, pocketing all the silver and money in the hands of the two men and in the box behind them.
