The three disciples who were following Xu Mo were dumbfounded when they saw this strange medicine field.
Xu Mo said before that the three generations of the woodcutter had killed thousands of people, but that was just three generations of their family. In fact, they were far more than just their family helping the weird medicine fairy here.
So the victims are simply innumerable.
As far as this medicine field is concerned, just from what you can see, there must be thousands of people cultivating it in the soil, some dead, some alive, some rotten, some dried.
In addition, there is still fog in this valley, and in this fog, there is a hidden smell of medicine.
At first, I thought the scent of this medicine was good and refreshing, but at this moment, I just wanted to hold my breath and isolate this smell.
I don’t know if vision has affected the sense of smell, but there is a vague smell of rot in the seemingly fresh medicinal aroma.
Huai Yuanhui looked at the medicine field carefully, then walked over and stepped into the medicine field.
Xu Mo didn't stop him.
Huai Yuanhui is very stable, and he is the most stable among his disciples.
If there is such an action at this moment, there must be something discovered.
Then I saw him squatting down in the field, stretching out his hands to dig up the soil.
After dialing twice, I saw what was below, put my hands together and chanted the Buddha's name.
Xu Mo also went over to watch.
It was discovered that under the dug earth pit, there was a human face.
In other words, there is a corpse buried.
It wasn't because Huai Yuanhui was lucky enough to pull away a piece of soil and find the corpse underneath, but because there were corpses buried under the entire medicine field.
It should be densely packed and countless.
That's right.
It should be regarded as nourishment.
“I don’t know if fellow Taoists come here, some are not welcomed at a distance, and some are not welcomed at a distance!”
At this time, a voice sounded from over there.
Xu Mo looked over.
Then I saw an old man with white hair wearing a bamboo hat walking from the field. Judging from his appearance, he looked like an old farmer who lived in the mountains all year round and made a living by farming.
But if this kind of land is planted, then the old farmer must not be a good farmer.
Xu Mo said nothing and observed carefully.
He was also worried about one thing before, and that was whether the other party was a weird thing that had reached the immortal realm. Looking at it now, it was obviously still far behind.
In terms of cultivation, he may not even be as good as Xiang Ying.
After all, Xiang Ying is also a great demon who has been cultivating for six hundred years.
At first, Xu Mo thought that the so-called Medicine Immortal here was also an evil spirit, but now he saw it and realized that it was not the case.
The other person is also a human being.
Immortal cultivator.
At this time, the old man had already walked closer.
The other party looked at Xuan Shanjun and Huai Yuanhui, then looked at Xu Mo: "I don't know what you call your friend?"
"My surname is Xu!"
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Xu, I wonder why you came to this mountain?"
"I heard that the medicine fairy lives in seclusion in the mountains, so I came here to visit."
"Haha, I don't deserve the title of Medicine Immortal. I'm just not used to living in the bustling world, and I don't want to disturb others, so I went to live in seclusion in the mountains, have nothing to do, use various herbs to refine elixirs, and enjoy myself leisurely."
Quite modest.
Xu Moxin said, you have to bury thousands of people in your fields. Is this called leisurely contentment?
If you admit the truth, why don't you bury tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands?
But now is not the time to fall out.
Let’s talk first. Looking at this old man, he is still acting quite kindly, and there is no evil thought in his eyes.
If so, then the next one to be buried in the soil will be the old man himself.
"This mountain is not famous. On weekdays, few guests visit. Today, my fellow Taoist is here. Please come with me to have a sip of tea and have a rest."
"That's why I'm bothering you."
"Don't bother, don't bother!"
The old man led Xu Mo and others all the way to the thatched cottage.
Lin Jiuyuan followed Xu Mo with a sword. Xuanshan Jun and Huai Yuanhui did not go in and stood outside the house.
If he takes action soon, he can prevent the old man from escaping.
Several people are already on the same page and cooperate with each other tacitly.
Not to mention Lin Jiuyuan, even Xuanshan Jun and Huai Yuanhui also felt that the old man here was strange and dangerous. For one thing, the two of them together probably didn't eat as many people as the dead people that could be seen in the fields at the moment. .
Not to mention, there are still some buried in the soil.
In the thatched cottage, the old man was busy washing cups and making tea.
This tea was medicinal tea, Xu Mo just smelled it.
Didn’t drink!
The resentment was flowing in the tea. It was conceivable that this medicinal tea was also grown in the field of the dead.
"I wonder where Daoyou Xu came from and where he is going?" the old man asked.
Xu Mo said: "I have traveled all over the world since I came out of Mount Zao. I am preparing to go to Kunzhou to meet many masters of Zhenggan Sect."
"Haha, what a coincidence, what a coincidence, I am a member of the Zhenggan Sect, my Taoist name is Guyunzi."
When Xu Mo heard this, he thought it was a coincidence.
Gu Yunzi.
Gu Yun means lonely, drifting, the cloud surface is out of the dust, elegant, entering immortality, the Taoist name is good.
It's just people, a little weird.
"Fellow Taoist, this tea is good, why don't you try it?" Gu Yunzi saw that Xu Mo didn't drink tea, so he said something at this time. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be saying that if you don't drink such a good thing, you are simply arrogant. .
"I know what friends are worried about. Many cultivators have evil intentions and are good at harming fellow Taoists. I am dismissive of this. I hate it even more deeply. I will never do anything harmful to others. If you don't believe it..."
As he said that, Gu Yunzi reached out and took the teacup in front of Xu Mo and drank it all in one gulp.
Said it was indeed not poisoned.
The problem is, Xu Mo is not afraid of him poisoning.
Xu Mo didn't want to drink this tea full of resentment, and he couldn't get used to it.
At this time, Xu Mo simply spoke frankly.
"I looked outside at the medicine field, and there were so many corpses..."
"Yes, this is the way to raise fields!"
“Using people to raise fields?”
"People?" Gu Yunzi was quite surprised and asked, "Where is there anyone?"
Xu Mo was amused. There were so many corpses outside. Is Gu Yunzi blind or deliberately pretending to be confused? Can't he see them?
Then he pointed outside: "Those, are they grass and trees?"
Then, Gu Yunzi's reaction made Xu Mo feel extremely weird.
The other person was stunned for a moment, and then said with a serious look on his face: "Aren't those just plants and trees?"
"Plants and trees? Humans are vegetation?"
"Fellow Taoists are joking. In the eyes of our Taoist sect, how can those be considered human beings? Those who do not understand the Dharma, those who do not understand nature, and those who do not cultivate supernatural powers are naturally just grass and trees. Anyone who is a grass or tree can benefit the common people through the Dharma. This is the true way to practice! "
Ever since Xu Mo comprehended the world of human nature, his understanding of "Tao", especially the "Tao" of this world, has been extremely profound. When Guyunzi said this, Xu Mo immediately understood what the other party meant.
In Guyunzi's eyes, only practitioners, that is, himself, or now Lin Jiuyuan, etc., are considered 'people'.
In the eyes of Guyunzi, those ordinary people in the secular world are not human beings at all.
Not qualified.
Just grass and trees.
This is not because the other party is deliberately trying to be mysterious or cruel, they really think so.
This is the state of mind.
Xu Mo has a lot of experience with "state of mind", so he understands Gu Yunzi's thoughts.
People are like grass and trees, they can naturally be buried in fields at will, nourish the soil, and use it to grow magical herbs and medicines.
It has the same meaning as farmers using manure as nutrients.
Only those who have cultivated the Dharma, attained a certain realm, and learned magical powers can be considered real "human beings" in Guyunzi's eyes. Other than that, they are no different from pigs, dogs, and grass.
The following conversation confirmed this even more.
Gu Yunzi was really open-minded and didn't have any ill intentions. He even gave Xu Mo a box of pills.
He said that this elixir was hard-won and was made from ten kinds of spiritual herbs and ten kinds of elixirs. It can improve your cultivation and stabilize your mind. Especially if something goes wrong during your cultivation, resulting in confused thoughts and hallucinations,
Eating this stuff is effective.
It can be seen that Gu Yunzi has no ill intentions and is serious about making friends. Even putting aside Gu Yunzi's "three views" that are different from ordinary people, the other party can be regarded as a good person.
Be sincere!
Be humble and polite!
Of course, this kind of humility and virtue is limited to Xu Mo and Lin Jiuyuan, who are similar to him in Gu Yunzi's eyes.
If a mortal comes, he will only be planted in the fields by Gu Yunzi.
A very strange person.
Xu Mo suppressed some of his rejection of aliens and began to have a serious discussion with the other party.
You must know that Xu Mo also studied "The Secret Technique of the Human Pill, Wood and Jade", so he knows a lot about the secret technique of the Human Pill.
Guyunzi said: "The method of "The Secret Technique of the Human Pill" is still too superficial. There are nine chapters in total on blood, jade, and wood. In my opinion, only three chapters on wood are preferable. What I have cultivated is also three chapters on wood!"
That's right, just by looking at the many magical herbs and elixirs in the fields, you can tell that Gu Yunzi is good at this.
"It turns out that fellow Daoist Xu also likes the three chapters of Mu. That's great. I'll tell you the truth. I left Zhengqian Palace to live here alone because they like the three chapters of Blood and Three Jade Chapters. I am the only one who likes the Three Woods chapters. Tao is different.
, so I ran away in anger and lived here alone. I thought it would be difficult to find a confidant, but I didn’t expect that today, I actually met Daoist Xu."
That means treating Xu Mo as a confidant.
At this point, Xu Mo was a little surprised. He was very wary when communicating with Gu Yunzi, and he was prejudiced against Gu Yunzi.
In fact, Xu Mo is biased against most immortal cultivators in this world.
Let’s just say that Gu Yunzi’s medicine field, no matter how you look at it, it is something that can only be created by the most evil of evils, the pervert of perverts.
But things in this world are so interesting.
After the actual contact, Xu Mo found that Gu Yunzi was quite sincere to him, and he could feel that the other person was sincerely making friends.
He himself is not a pervert, and there is nothing out of the ordinary in his conversation.
In essence, the realm of "man-made vegetation" that Guyunzi upholds is similar to his own "human world". They are both a special state of mind and a state.
The interesting thing is here. Through communication, they actually have a lot in common and can chat easily.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, what you just said is to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and absorb the essence of the sun and moon. I deeply agree with it, but there are some details in it and I have different opinions."
"Fellow Taoist Guyun, please tell me in detail!"
"Okay, your understanding of people is slightly different from mine. This person of grass and trees is not a real person. Only people like you and me can be considered as such."
"Then what is a real person?"
"Cultivation of the Dharma to enlighten one's mind and gain unparalleled magical powers..."
"Is it a little one-sided?"
"No, it's not one-sided at all. I would like to ask fellow Taoist Xu, if a human being has no ability to establish himself in the world and the ability to protect himself, what is the difference between him and pigs, dogs, ants, grass and trees?"
“If you can’t protect yourself, you don’t deserve to exist in this world?”
"No, it's just that they are not worthy of being human. They are just like vegetation, pigs and dogs, which can be trampled on and slaughtered at will."
"..." Xu Mo was speechless for a moment.
"Of course, this is only one of the reasons. The most important one is that those who do not practice the Dharma and do not understand the principles of heaven and earth, and those who share the same path with you and me, have different realms."
Xu Mo suddenly realized at this time that this guy might still be a ZZist.
Confirm again that Gu Yunzi has no ill intentions towards him.
On the contrary, it is sincere.
That means you really regard Xu Mo as your confidant.
At this moment, we have begun to talk about a deeper understanding of "The Secret Art of the Human Pill".
"I believe that all immortal magic in the world leads to the same destination through different paths. To explore its origin, we only need to pay attention to two words."
"Which two words?"
"Seizing souls, that's why your sentence, Brother Daoist Xu, about gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, is simply wonderful. In one sentence, it is the foundation of cultivation. So many methods, in the final analysis, aren't they all for the purpose of seizing souls?"
Xu Mo thought about it and realized that what the other party said made sense.
Plants and trees rely on sunlight, water and nutrients in the soil to survive. Some wild animals eat grass and some eat meat, all in order to obtain nutrients and supply themselves.
Cultivation is a way to devour nutrients several times, dozens or even hundreds of times faster than similar ones, in order to strengthen oneself.
"The essence of the three chapters on the secret technique of human elixir and wood is to use animals as wood, cultivate spiritual herbs, and then refine them into elixirs..."
Xu Mo interrupted at this time and said: "If it is those wild ordinary spiritual grasses, wouldn't it be possible to make elixirs?"
"It's possible, but the efficacy of the medicine is too much different. Besides, do fellow Taoists think that there are no dead souls and bones under those wild spiritual herbs?"
What Gu Yunzi said makes sense.
But it makes sense, and Xu Mo will not be persuaded by these remarks.
From the beginning, Gu Yunzi was talking about his thoughts, and this theory was so complete that there were almost no flaws.
If you want to cultivate immortality, you have to seize souls. If you want to seize souls, eating people to make elixirs is a completely normal thing.
It seems that as long as you cultivate immortality, you must take this path, and you can't avoid it no matter how hard you try.
Gu Yunzi is indeed a master of Zhengqian Sect, and he has a good way of discussing cultivation theories.
But now, Xu Mo plans to say something different.
It was also some of the principles he realized after comprehending the universe of humanity, some of which were enough to refute the opponent.
"Fellow Taoist Guyun, have you ever heard of this sentence?"
"Oh, what are you talking about?"
“When you’re hungry, you don’t choose your food; when you’re scared, you don’t choose your path!”
"I've never heard of it, but I can understand the meaning." Gu Yunzi is also a smart person with a very high understanding. Xu Mo just said a word, and he got some clues from it.
At this moment, his face was quite serious.
"That's good, Fellow Taoist Guyun. Nowadays, Dharma cultivators in the world highly recommend methods such as "The Secret Technique of Human Elixir" and "Three Animals Return to One". In Xu's opinion, this is an act of being hungry and unscrupulous. On the contrary, there is
Four words, called 'It's better to lack than to overindulge'!"
Gu Yunzi tasted it carefully, thoughtfully.
Xu Mo added: "I am a friend of Taoist fellow Guyun, so I say this. Let's not talk about evil spirits. You and I are both human beings. We are not born with the ability to practice Dharma. It is not just a coincidence that we step into this path. Then, then
Before that, could it have been vegetation?"
Gu Yunzi thought, nodded, and then shook his head.
