Chapter 162 The so-called blessed land is not a blessed land
Without the suppression of the Demon-Suppressing Mirror, the practitioners from the lower realms returned to normal.
But their faces were still pale, and they looked at Lin Fan in fear, with the scene that just appeared in their minds.
They didn't dare to speak, they lowered their heads in fear and didn't dare to open their mouths.
"My fellow Taoists, I, Xuan Dian, have arrived at the right time." Lin Fan smiled and looked at how scared these fellow Taoists were because of Yinjiang Mansion.
Everyone came from the lower world and should have had a bright future, but things did not go as planned. When they arrived in the upper world, they found dangers everywhere and there was not even a place to stay.
"Amitabha, I am Guiwu, greeting all of you fellow Taoists." Guiwu is a meticulous person, so how could he not see that these fellow Taoists were not afraid of Yinjiang Mansion, but of fellow Taoist Xuandian who was performing the "Summary of All Things Swallowing the Origin". With such a method, and performing it openly in front of everyone, it was hard to tell who was the evil demon and who was the righteous one, really hard to tell.
The scene was quiet and the atmosphere was not right.
Logically speaking, I have saved you from the dire situation, so I don't ask for your life in return, but it's not too much to say a few words of thanks.
But now everyone has become mute, which is very bad.
"Are you Fellow Daoist Luo Yu?" A female fellow Daoist felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere at the moment. She looked up quietly and found that among the people who appeared, there was one who looked very familiar, so she asked tentatively.
"Hmm?" Luo Yu was puzzled, and then took the initiative to ask: "Daoyou know me?"
"I know." The female Taoist nodded. "I have followed your deeds. He has been hiding in Yinjiang Mansion for more than ten years to avenge me."
Women have a different perspective. Men would think that being able to stay around Yinjiang Mansion for more than ten years without being caught is really brave and careful, but in the eyes of women, it is a sign of deep love and a touching desire to avenge his beloved wife.
Luo Yu's vanity was satisfied, and he coughed a few times, "Dear Taoist friends, I am Luo Yu, these two are Taoist Priest Xuan Dian and Master Gui Wu, they are from the lower realms just like us, and are wanted by Yinjiang Prefecture. Don't be afraid, they are one of us."
After these words were spoken, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and gradually returned to normal.
"Thank you for saving my life, Taoist priest. We are grateful."
Everyone thanked.
Lin Fan smiled and waved his hands, "No need to thank me. These monsters are vile and treat the people of this world as consumables. They even regard us, the practitioners who come from the lower world to pursue the great way, as evil demons. They kill us at will when they disagree with us. This behavior is extremely bad."
No one dared to refute, they just watched, and then looked at the clothes one by one.
Evil spirit?
They could no longer tell whether this Taoist priest Xuan Dian was truly an evil demon.
Lin Fan glanced around, knowing the methods of Yinjiang Mansion, "We should not stay here for long. Let's leave first, lest the demons from Yinjiang Mansion follow us and kill us."
If nothing else, Yinjiang Mansion came to clean up the mess very quickly.
In a cave somewhere, everyone sat together, staring at each other, no one spoke. The female cultivator who recognized Luo Yu remained silent. When she was in the lower world, she was called the ancestor by the younger generations, and her status and position in the lower world was top-notch.
After practicing for a hundred years, his temperament has naturally become mature and steady, he is serious and upright in his speech and behavior, and he has a strong aura of a master.
But after arriving in the upper realm, the memory of the death split her sea of consciousness like thunder, making her recall the scene when she had just started practicing.
That year, the eighteenth station was full of people, bowing their heads and asking for advice from the immortals. The most common words that came out of their mouths were...
"Please teach me, senior."
At this time, Luo Yu said, "Don't despair, everyone. Let me introduce you to you. This Taoist Xuan Dian has great powers. Some time ago, he personally killed the senior brother of the Alchemy Hall, Dan Feixian. He and this Master Gui Wu also killed the Alchemy Hall Master Bai. Those monsters robbed the essence of the people to practice, but called us evil demons. It is clear who is evil and who is righteous. They think they can confuse right and wrong, but our eyes are bright. How can we be deceived by them, right?"
Everyone looked up, their expressions firm, “Yes, that’s it.
At the same time, he was extremely shocked by the deeds of these two people who were able to kill the Lord Bai of the Alchemy Palace.
Mao Miaomiao poked her head out from the collar of the Taoist priest and said, "Our Taoist priest is very powerful. When he was in the lower world, the people were controlled by demons, the world was turbid, and the people were suffering. Our Taoist priest chopped down the world from the foot of the Taoist temple to the imperial city with his axe. Even the emperor was chopped down by our Taoist priest. He brought happiness to the people of the world and let the people know that when the Taoist priest comes, justice will come."
"So it's the same even in the upper realm."
Miaomiao has no other interests or hobbies except spreading the Taoist's reputation.
There are no storytellers in the upper world, so the Taoist's reputation cannot be spread, so Miaomiao has to take on this responsibility.
As for my sister, well, she has really changed. She has become taciturn and doesn't like to talk.
Did her love for the Taoist priest weaken? But it didn't matter, as long as the Taoist priest had Miaomiao's love.
Everyone opened their mouths slightly and stared blankly at Taoist Master Xuan Dian.
One man chopped down the imperial city with an axe and even killed the emperor. Even if they didn't see it with their own eyes, they had already pictured the scene in their minds.
At this moment, they can be 100% sure that this Taoist priest Xuan Dian is definitely a killing god. He stirs up trouble in the lower world. He is extremely domineering even though he wears a Taoist robe. Anyone who dares to disagree with his philosophy is a demon.
Lin Fan asked, "How did you think of disguising yourself as a commoner in Yinjiang Prefecture?"
"Master, we also want to make progress and practice." The speaker was a middle-aged man with a square face. He was very strong and quite majestic. From these alone, it can be seen that the other party must have been very domineering when he was in the lower world.
Just as Lin Fan thought, the man's name was Tu Hongtian. In his world, he was known as the Overlord. He was invincible physically and dominated the world, and was invincible in defeating opponents of the same level.
But after arriving in the upper realm, he thoroughly understood from reality that being invincible in one area does not mean that you are truly invincible, but that those guys are not strong enough to take a beating.
Lin Fan said: "So you disguised yourself as ordinary people, hoping to get the opportunity to practice in Yinjiang Prefecture."
Tu Hongtian nodded and said, "Yes, Yinjiang Prefecture is relatively safe here. Liuli Mountain and Kuchan Sect are too dangerous. Practicing in Yinjiang Prefecture requires essence, but not everyone is plundered. But in Liuli Mountain and Kuchan Sect, those guys seem to have trained a pair of fiery eyes. Even if they hide themselves extremely well, they can still see their extraordinaryness."
Someone murmured, "I regret it so much. I really want to go back to the lower world. It's too dangerous here. We don't even have a fair chance. If they don't treat us as evil spirits and let us practice well, I don't think I'm worse than them."
Lin Fan agreed with this statement very much. Those who could reach the upper realm through their own practice were all gifted with natural understanding.
"Has anyone among you absorbed the spiritual energy of this world?" Lin Fan asked.
Tu Hongtian said: "It used to exist, but it stopped later. The fellows in the blessed land said that the sages told them that the spiritual energy of this land is not right and they should not absorb it. But some fellows could not resist and absorbed the spiritual energy and disappeared."
They know very little.
There's something wrong with the spiritual energy, but I don't know what's wrong.
But most people deeply understand one truth: listen to others and have a full stomach, and don't be stubborn when there is nothing wrong.
Lin Fan nodded. Some people could hold back, but naturally some people couldn't. The materials for the Flesh Spirit Fragrance were too rare for the practitioners who had just entered the upper realm, and their practice speed was still relatively slow.
Absorbing spiritual energy is different. It is convenient, simple and brings rapid progress.
But wait.
"Blessed land, what is the blessed land you are talking about?" Lin Fan wondered, and then looked to the side. Luo Yu was also confused and puzzled, with his hands spread out. The meaning was very clear, I don't know either.
Tu Hongtian said: "The blessed land is a place of residence opened up by the sages for the younger generations who will enter the upper realm in the future. It can avoid the pursuit of the mountain gate, but it is impossible to practice in the blessed land. There is not even spiritual energy. Fellow Daoist Luo, you have been in the upper realm for more than ten years, don't you know?"
"Ah?" Luo Yu opened his mouth in shock, "This... I really don't know."
Everyone looked at Luo Yu in confusion. It was normal that he didn't know anything when he just came to the upper realm, but no matter what, Luo Yu had been there long enough and was an old hand, so how come he didn't know anything until now?
This is a little unbelievable.
The female cultivator said: "Brother Luo is eager to avenge me and is so focused on Yinjiang Mansion that he has no time to care about these things. It is normal that he doesn't know."
Luo Yu said: "That's true. Luo and Yinjiang Prefecture have a sworn enemy and are wanted by Yinjiang Prefecture. In the past ten years, I haven't met many fellow practitioners. But even if I knew, I would not enter the blessed land because I want revenge."
Everyone admired him. Even though he knew he was wanted, he was not afraid and still looked for opportunities for revenge in Yinjiang Prefecture.
This kind of courage and character is not possessed by ordinary people.
"Fellow Daoist Tu, can you take us to the blessed land?" Lin Fan said.
"Of course."
Tu Hongtian nodded. The blessed land was the last place for those who went to the upper realm to stay. Some of them had lost their ambitions due to being suppressed, so they gave up everything and stayed in the blessed land until they died of old age.
Nothing happened that night. Lin Fan closed his eyes and refined the essence of the monsters. As for their insights, they were all crushed. Their insights were not even as good as a blade of grass. Grass is born and raised by nature, and has encountered many disasters. It may seem like child's play, but in fact, it is a real dilemma for the grass.
You have to pretend to be cool.
But as the master said, this sutra does have great disadvantages and can easily lead people astray. Fortunately, the number of those monsters is small and their Taoism skills are average, so they can be wiped out at will without affecting themselves.
A few days later.
"It's right here." Tu Hongtian led the way to the entrance of the blessed land. "The blessed land is restricted. Only those from the lower world can enter. Otherwise, this place would have been razed to the ground by the demons from the mountain gate long ago."
The so-called entrance is not an entrance and cannot be seen by the naked eye.
Tu Hongtian pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, and the space began to fluctuate. The ripples spread and enveloped everyone in an instant.
Lin Fan felt a mysterious force covering his whole body. He did not resist and just went with the flow. The scene in front of him began to blur. When he regained clarity, it was a completely different world.
The flowers, trees, birds and fragrance make it seem like a fairyland.
Gazing with the eye of merit, there is no disguised spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and the air is just ordinary air.
Gui Wu exclaimed: "What a powerful method, the ability to open up space, to be stable and lasting, I am inferior to it."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Lin Fan said: "Master, don't underestimate yourself. This is a fragment of space floating in the upper realm that was captured. Master, you can't do it now, but you can do it in the future."
"Amitabha." Gui Wu did not refute because he believed that he would be able to do it in the future.
That's confidence.
"Master, Taoist priest, follow me." Tu Hongtian led the way.
Luo Yu was like entering the Grand View Garden, and was so fascinated by it that he never thought that there really was such a blessed place.
Gradually, they met fellow Taoists. In Lin Fan's eyes, these fellow Taoists all had Taoist practices, but their sharpness had been smoothed out. There were children running and playing. They were those who wanted to stay in the blessed land and were unwilling to leave. They met the right person, got married, had children, and lived like ordinary people.
When passing by a field, Lin Fan saw a one-armed man swinging a hoe. The movement seemed ordinary, but in his eyes, it contained the trajectory of a sword.
Tu Hongtian said: "His name is Ye Wushuang. He once called himself a sword immortal and entered the upper realm with his Taoist partner. But in the end, his partner was killed and one of his arms was cut off."
The other party's cultivation level is not low. He has completed the first stage of foundation building and can enter the second stage at any time. However, he has not been able to break through for a long time. He is discouraged and has no motivation at all.
A little girl came running over and handed water to Ye Wushuang.
"That's his daughter. When he and his partner entered the upper realm, his wife was already pregnant. During the escape, they were forced into a desperate situation with the child. Fortunately, they met someone who brought them to the blessed land. They have been living with the child for ten years." Tu Hongtian sighed. There is no shortage of true geniuses in the blessed land.
Take Ye Wushuang for example, he is a genius among geniuses. He started his spiritual practice by learning the sword, and reached perfection in Qi refining in fifty years.
Moreover, he does not absorb the fragrance of flesh spirits, nor does he absorb spiritual energy. He says that he uses his body to nourish the sword and condense the vast sword intent. This kind of practice has never been heard of, let alone heard of.
At this time, Ye Wushuang, who was drinking water, felt these gazes and looked at Xuan Dian. The two men looked into each other's eyes. Ye Wushuang's eyes were calm, without any fluctuation. He nodded slightly as a greeting.
Lin Fan nodded and continued to move forward, wanting to know who the creator of the blessed land was, but Tu Hongtian didn't know.
There are many practitioners living in this blessed land.
I'm basically used to it here.
Not many people are willing to leave. Except for those who are still unwilling to give up and want to make progress, and want to pursue the great path and venture out, all others have given up hope.
"This is the only thing left by the pioneer, and we don't understand it." Tu Hongtian brought them to an altar. The altar was not big and there were no other decorations. There was only a floating fragment on the altar. The material of the fragment was unknown, with a gradient of black and white, and it emitted light.
The naked eye can't tell anything is wrong.
But under the gaze of the Eye of Merit, something was not right. Dense blood lines extended from the fragments, covering the space. His heart trembled, and he had a bad feeling.
Gui Wu noticed the change in his fellow Taoist's eyes, frowned secretly, and fixed his gaze on the fragments, wanting to find out what was going on, but he couldn't feel anything wrong.
The master kept his doubts in his heart and would ask his fellow Taoists later.
"Fellow Daoist Tu, do you think this blessed land is safe?" Lin Fan asked.
Tu Hongtian said: "Nothing has happened. Everything is stable."
Lin Fan asked: "Are there many blessed places like this?"
Tu Hongtian shook his head and said, "I don't know if there is one. At least until now, I haven't heard of any other blessed lands. As for why it is called a blessed land, it was also passed down by our ancestors."
Suddenly, Lin Fan discovered a line of blood falling vertically in the sky in the distance.
He went in that direction. Tu Hongtian and the others were stunned, not understanding what Taoist Xuan Dian meant, and hurriedly followed him.
At this moment, Lin Fan had a thought in his mind, could it be that this blessed land was formed by the black cloud thing, in order to deceive the practitioners in the lower realm? But no, the black cloud thing extended flesh and blood tentacles, and now it is blood lines, different, completely different.
When he arrived at the place where the blood was falling, he saw an old man sitting cross-legged in the open space with a smile on his face, but he was already silent, and it was obvious that he had died on the spot.
The blood flowed into the old man's body through his mouth and nose, absorbing his energy.
"Old Senior Wang has passed away." Tu Hongtian sighed. "Old Senior Wang has been in the blessed land for more than a hundred years. He has never left since he came here. His Taoism has not made any progress. His life span has come to an end and he has died of old age."
Lin Fan's originally relaxed heart became alert.
Although different from flesh tentacles, they are very similar.
If a certain powerful person was carrying a heavy burden and protecting the practitioners who were unwilling to leave the blessed land until they died of old age, and did not want to see their essence dissipate, and wanted to use it to strengthen himself and fight against those monsters, he could understand it.
But living in a space controlled by a mysterious person, the fear is that the other party can refine the creatures in this space in an instant with just a thought, and plunder their flesh and blood essence, which would be extremely terrifying.
Night falls.
Inside the house, Lin Fan told the master what he had seen, and the master also looked solemn when he heard it.
Boom boom!
"Come in."
Tu Hongtian entered the house. He didn't know why Taoist Xuan Dian asked him to come at night, especially since the master and fellow Taoist Luo Yu were there. He was very confused.
"Fellow Daoist Tu, I have something to tell you. Please sit down." Lin Fan was ready to tell him. As for how to make the decision, it was up to him. He now had doubts about any place in the upper realm.
Tu Hongtian said: "What's the matter, Taoist priest?"
Lin Fan told Tu Hongtian what happened during the day. His eyes widened and his own cognition was overturned. He couldn't believe it.
"Master, this..." Tu Hongtian didn't know what to say. With his past experience and thoughts, he would not be swayed by others, nor would he rely on others for his own safety. However, the reality was too cruel, and he unknowingly regarded the blessed land as his last retreat.
Lin Fan said softly: "I am only telling you what I have seen. As for the details, I am not sure. I just want to tell you, Daoist Fellow Tu."
Tu Hongtian still remained silent. He was unwilling to believe that his last way of retreat was also a dead end.
Qing Tian Shu suddenly said, "I used to like to wander around in human cities and get some corn to eat. I saw a family raising a lot of pigs. They fed them well every day and provided them with a safe living area to avoid the prying eyes of wolves. But when they were full, the fat pigs would be killed and taken to the market to be sold. One time, I found that the family seemed to be short of money, so I sold all the pigs in the pigpen, even the piglets."
"Rat, I just heard that man say one word."
"I have to buy a house. I have raised these pigs for so many years. It is time to sacrifice them."
Lin Fan looked at Shushu. Wow, this is the point.
Tu Hongtian looked at the rat demon in a daze.
What this means is... that the practitioners living in a blessed land are all pigs kept in a pen?
Current security does not mean real security.
Is it just that the time to pay has not come yet? (End of this chapter)
