On the fifteenth day when Su Xing came to Nanfangbuzhou.

The entrance of Tupo Village.

After the altar was set up and the incense burner was lit, the magician dressed as a rope skipper brought the children who were performing the ceremony to the altar.

Then, she began to mutter something incomprehensible words.

Not long after the talisman master kept talking, he started dancing on the spot.

And her strange behavior really had a certain effect:

Not long after, countless vaguely 'black threads' appeared in mid-air for no apparent reason, and converged on the young child's head from all directions.

These ‘black threads’ are invisible to ordinary people with the naked eye.

Currently, the only person Su Xing knows who can see and control the 'black thread', besides himself, is Tianchi whom he met in Wuzhuang Hall.

Mid-air.

As the 'black threads' gathered more and more, a huge eyeball composed of black threads gradually appeared above the child's head.

This was not the first time Su Xing saw this eyeball, so he recognized it at a glance.

This is the eyeball of ‘Shou’.

The appearance of the 'Shou' eyeball made Su Xing have some guesses:

From this point of view, the reason why people in Nanfangbuzhou can see the consumption of life span and directly use life span as currency transactions is because of the indescribable "longevity"?

And thinking along this line of thinking, if 'shou' can really control human lifespan...

So if Heaven can refine longevity medicine and plant ginseng fruit trees, is there some connection with the indescribable ‘longevity’?

There was just one thing that Su Xing couldn't quite understand.

If Heavenly Court’s life-span medicine and ginseng fruit are both related to the indescribable ‘longevity’, then how did he refine the life-span medicine?

When researching the formula of life-span medicine, he had never heard of or come into contact with ‘longevity’!

In front of the altar.

The spell master had been writing ink for a long time, and finally completed the prelude, and Shou's eyes slowly looked towards the child's head.

Perhaps it cannot withstand the contamination of unspeakable creatures.

Under the gaze of 'Shou', the child covered his ears with a look of pain on his face, but fell down within a moment.

Seeing this situation, the spell master did not show any panic, but said extremely calmly: "The ceremony is completed, please come and take him away."

After the ceremony is completed, it seems to be very common for people to faint during the ceremony, and everyone present is already accustomed to it.

The spell master has a high status in the village.

As soon as the ceremony was completed, a villager came forward with a large amount of meat, handed it to the spell master, and then left with the child with great gratitude.

Seeing this, Su Xing roughly understood the principle of the festival:

The so-called festival is nothing more than the spell master actively attracting the indescribable pollution of longevity through special means.

This pollution will be controlled by the spell master within a relatively safe range.

In this way, it will not be greatly affected by polluters.

Although pollution by unnameable organisms will have a certain impact on people's mental state, it will also bring some positive effects.

For example, say ‘spirit’.

In fact, Su Xing already had some guesses.

The reason why his body was strengthened after he swallowed the 'flesh mushroom' was not because of the effect of the 'flesh mushroom' itself.

What really worked was the pollution caused by the whispers of the 'spirit' after Su Xing swallowed the mushroom.

The more serious the pollution, the greater the impact on the mental state. When the pollution reaches a certain level, it is very likely to be life-threatening.

This can be easily seen from the behavior of heavenly beings devouring ‘flesh and blood mushrooms’.

Although heavenly beings are not afraid of the pollution of ‘spirits’, they are naturally resistant to whispers.

But it is precisely because they are immune to contamination that after swallowing a large amount of 'blood mushrooms', the benefits are still not very obvious.

On the other hand, Su Xing only ate a dozen or so mushrooms, and his physical condition was already at a ridiculous level.

It's just that the cost of doing that is a little bit high...

Compared with the "spirit" which can strengthen the physical quality, the pollution of "shou" seems to be more reflected in the length of life.

I just don’t know what kind of abilities it will bring when the pollution of ‘Shou’ is further deepened...

After the ceremony was completed, Su Xing stayed in Tupo Village for another day.

It wasn't until the young child woke up and made sure that the other person was not seriously injured that he completely relaxed and decided to carry out the 'sacrifice' ceremony.

Su Xing is not worried about the side effects.

The pollution caused by the "Shou" whisper caused by the festival cannot even kill a young child in the village, let alone pose a threat to him, a monk in the foundation building period.

What's more, Su Xing also learned the "Tuna Method" from monkeys, which can resist indescribable pollution to a certain extent.

Therefore, you can give this festival a try.

The next day, at the entrance of Tupo Village.

With countless villagers watching, the spell master once again placed the altar and incense burner, and started dancing in front of Su Xing.

With the efforts of the spell master, Shou's eyes quickly gathered in mid-air again, and he glanced at Su Xing.

Affected by this, Su Xing heard a whisper in his ears...

The whispers were chaotic and irregular, and could not be described in human language.

Because the pollution caused by the spell master was too slight, and Su Xing had already been baptized by the whispers of the "spirit", and had a certain resistance to the indescribable pollution.

Therefore, under the gaze of 'Shou', he didn't even faint, not even showing a hint of discomfort.

After the 'sacrifice' ceremony was completed, an eye-shaped mark appeared on Su Xing's wrist.

There was a red glow in his left eye, and he could see some indescribable data, but it could actually be reflected in his mind.

These data are related to the consumption of life span.

Just like breathing.

Through observation with his left eye, Su Xing concluded that every breath of fresh air consumed him about one thirty-thousandth of a day.

A human breathes approximately once every three seconds.

Calculated in this way, for every day Su Xing lived in Nanfangbu Continent, he needed to consume about 2 days of life...

As a result, Su Xing thought of a new question:

Although people in Nanbuzhou can earn life span through hard work, no matter how people trade with each other, the total life span will always remain the same.

There is neither life-span medicine nor ginseng fruit in Nanfanbuzhou, so it is impossible to create or increase life span out of thin air.

Under this premise, the lifespan consumed by people is twice as long as that of Dongsheng Shenzhou...

Following this line of thinking, the average life span of mortals in Nanfangbu Continent should be between ten and twenty-five years.

But looking at the villagers of Tupo Village, a considerable number of them are over thirty years old, and even occasionally people in their forties or fifties can be seen.

The total life span of mortals in Nanfangbu Continent seems to have nearly doubled out of thin air...

This is very unreasonable.

This gave Su Xing a guess:

Is there a possibility that the Taoist sect that governs the entire Nanfangbu Continent can itself print 'currency', which is lifespan?

Because of this, the total number of lifespans in Nanfangbu Continent is about double that calculated.

And when Su Xing could think of this, it was not without purpose.

After all, the longevity eyes hanging over Tupo Village and other towns were installed by Daomen.

This shows that Taoism is very likely to have a certain connection with the indescribable creature ‘Shou’.
