The secret realm of the Holy Land, outside the ‘Shou Temple’.

Su Xing wore coarse linen clothes and blended in the crowd very low-key, waiting with the large troops outside the 'Shou Temple'.

It is different from the temple Su Xing imagined.

The "Shou Temple" in the Holy Land Secret Realm covers an exaggerated area, almost as big as a football field.

Far away.

Before Su Xingren entered the Longevity Temple, he saw hundreds of people kneeling in front of a giant eyeball statue, worshiping non-stop.

Just like what Wang Shan described.

After the civilians worshiped the eyeball statue, they could receive bread and other food from the soldiers guarding outside the longevity temple.

If these foods are regarded as wages, then for the people present, worshiping the eyeball statue is their daily job.

also.

While the worshipers are kowtowing, they will also emit countless vague 'black threads', which gather into a ball in mid-air and are gradually absorbed by the eyeball statue.

Seeing this scene, Su Xing also understood the function of this 'Longevity Temple'.

——Not surprisingly, this longevity temple is the place where Taoism collects ‘black silk threads’.

As for the purpose of Daomen collecting this 'black silk thread'...

In this regard, Su Xing also made some guesses:

The ‘black silk thread’ is suspected to be able to help foundation-building monks break through to the golden elixir stage.

This characteristic can be easily seen from the experiences of Taoist Yuanlong from Moruotian, Zhenyuan from the Tree Realm, and Tianchi.

Among them, Taoist Yuanlong broke through through the 'black silk thread', which Su Xing saw with his own eyes and cannot be faked.

In addition, Zhenyuan Zhenren's experience with Tianchi can also be proved from the side, so the purpose of the Taoist sect's collection of 'black threads' is naturally self-evident...

Inside the Taoist sect, there are probably monks who are also in the late stage of foundation building, or warriors who have surpassed the 'realm of gods and men'.

In order to further enhance his strength, this powerful man built this extremely huge longevity temple.

The ‘black thread’ can be a person’s lifespan, the pain a person has received, or the evil energy accumulated by an assassin.

The 'black silk thread' in this longevity temple is generated by people's beliefs.

The more people believe in the eyeball statue, the larger the 'black thread' accumulated in the statue will be, and the better the effect of improving cultivation will be.

Thinking of this, Su Xing couldn't help but feel excited:

Thousands of people worship at this 'Shou Temple' every day, and they must have accumulated countless 'black threads'. If they can snatch them all...

Su Xing mingled with the worshipers and soon came to the eyeball statue, and felt the large amount of 'black threads' contained in the statue...

For some unknown reason, Su Xing was able to freely mobilize the 'black thread' according to his will, at least until now.

Taking advantage of this time to worship the statue, Su Xing tried to mobilize the 'black silk thread' contained in the statue.

But this time, no matter how he tried to mobilize it, there was no response from the 'black thread' inside the statue.

Su Xing guessed that it was most likely that the eyeball statue acted as a shield, cutting off the connection between him and the 'black thread'.

Thinking of this, Su Xing stopped doing useless work.

He planned to come to the longevity temple at night when no one was around and break open the eyeball statue to see if there could be any new changes.

In the longevity temple.

Through observation, Su Xing also discovered another pattern:

The 'black thread' produced by a person within a fixed period of time is always limited.

And in most cases, it is the first time you kneel down to worship the statue that produces the most ‘black threads’, and the further you go, the fewer and fewer the ‘black threads’ are.

Because of this, the worship in the "Shou Temple" adopts a rotation system, with one worship after another.

After Su Xing knelt down and worshiped for about a quarter of an hour, he followed the others and stepped aside, giving up his position to those who had not yet knelt down.

But what Su Xing didn't expect was...

While resting, he saw an extremely familiar face...

…

The entrance to Shouxiao Temple.

Sword Master Shan Yuxing was leaning against the door, looking around lazily, with a very reluctant expression on his face.

He really doesn't want to be a steward in this longevity temple...

In the longevity temple in the secret realm of the Holy Land, thousands of people come to worship every day.

To manage this place well, we must not only ensure that no one is lazy, but also distribute the food to everyone according to the prescribed portion.

Not only that.

When there are too many people, accidents will inevitably happen between people, which may even turn into quarrels or fights.

These all need to be handled by Shan Yuxing as the manager, so taking care of the Shouguan Temple is really a hard job.

——The reason why Shan Yuxing was transferred here is because he activated the secret realm key in public when he fought with Su Xing.

The entire teleportation process of the Sword Master has been seen by all the martial arts warriors, rebel forces and the people of the royal city.

Of course.

Although the Sword Master uses wooden signs to teleport into the secret realm of the Holy Land in front of countless people, he will not expose the secret realm of the Holy Land.

After all, the secret key is unique and cannot be used by anyone who is not bound to it.

Although the monks can forcibly activate the key with the spiritual power in their body, since there are no monks in Nanfangbu Continent, they will not be affected in any way.

Therefore, although Shan Yuxing's actions will have a certain negative impact, this impact is not significant.

Based on the above reasons, the Taoist sect did not severely punish Shan Yuxing, but sent him to the longevity temple in a symbolic way.

But even with such a light punishment, Shan Yuxing still refused to accept it.

For the sake of the Taoist sect, he not only suffered defeat and lost face in front of Su Xing, he even had an arm cut off by the other party.

After paying such a huge price, not only did he not receive any compensation, but he was also forcibly assigned a hard job by his superiors.

This psychological gap would be a bit intolerable for anyone.

The entrance to Shouxiao Temple.

Sword Master Shan Yuxing was leaning in front of the temple door, thinking more and more angrily.

Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he ordered his soldiers to handle all matters on their own.

As for him, he walked directly towards the royal residence in the secret realm of the Holy Land, intending to go to the Taoist master for an explanation...

At the same time.

Watching the retreating figure of Sword Master Shan Yuxing, Su Xing also found an excuse to sneak out of the longevity temple.

The light in the secret territory of the Holy Land is dim, even in the daytime, but it does not affect the ability to use 'Shadow Escape' at all.

After confirming that there was no one else around, Su Xing immediately transformed into a black shadow and followed the Sword Master Shan Yuxing from a distance.

The two of them walked in tandem and soon arrived at the royal residence.

At the house, Su Xing saw a somewhat unbelievable scene:

In the courtyard of the royal residence, there are nearly a hundred black huts of about one square meter, large and small.

Perhaps it is to facilitate observation of its internal conditions, or it may be for ventilation.

Although these black huts have no doors, they all have openings the size of a fist.

Through the opening, Su Xing saw countless children wearing pipes on their heads and with white hair in the room.

The other ends of these pipes are connected to the Yishou fold outside the black hut....

Seeing this scene, Su Xing felt inexplicably frightened.

Obviously.

From the beginning to the end, the Taoist sect does not "create something out of nothing" at all. The extra lifespan they gain out of thin air is all squeezed from children.

And this is the real reason why Daomen can continue to issue ‘currency’.
