Chapter 265: Cannibalism as a way to eliminate disasters
It has been a long time since Ren Qing went into retreat, and the seasons are changing constantly.
Autumn has just passed halfway, and the fertile fields outside Wuwei Taoist Temple have already grown.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, the fields are like a golden ocean, exuding a faint fragrance of rice and wheat in the sunlight.
This kind of spiritual grain not only only takes four or five months to mature, but also contains the breath of true energy, and the quality is truly superior.
Wu Quantum exchanged some bone meal through the fairy market to help the growth of vegetation, so that Linggu can be planted even in the cold winter.
Farmers are busy harvesting rice, and from time to time, loud folk songs will be heard.
The rice is tied together with straw ropes, and in the evening Taoist disciples come to collect it.
However, one family is happy and the other is sad. For farmers, they can have half a month of free time to restore life to the fields before sowing grain.
But Wu Qun stood in front of the mountain gate worriedly, frowning.
He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Compared with the Wuwei Taoist Temple half a year ago, it has become much deserted now.
As a large number of disciples came out of the mountain to join the world, and fewer and fewer Taoist boys were recruited, there were only about 60 Taoist boys left on the entire mountain.
However, the Nether Celestial Insect Method lived up to expectations and became popular.
Official Taoist priests, including Wu Quantum, have also converted to cultivation. After the true essence was transformed into Youyuan, they suffered little loss and still maintained their original state.
But what worries Wu Quantum is the issue of rice sales.
Normally, whenever the rice is ripe, there should be bodyguards at the foot of the mountain guarding the caravan, ready to be sent to various places in the city.
But now it's empty.
If the caravan didn't come, he could only arrange for the disciples to be sent to the grain store in Qingyan Town, or contact Taoist disciples who were doing business abroad.
It would be easy to ask the disciples to send it away, but now that there are internal and external troubles, if you are not careful, you may be involved in the weird monk's troubles.
Wu Quantum had to prepare with both hands.
On the one hand, the Fairy Market was used to inform the Taoist disciples who were outside, and on the other hand, carriages were organized to transport the spiritual grain before the season.
It's a pity that the Taoist disciples who were able to enter the Immortal City had just come down from the mountain. They were in a safer area and didn't know much about the situation.
It would be really difficult for them to explore the truth.
Fortunately, it did not develop in the worst direction. Looking from a distance, Wu Qun saw a group of people coming slowly towards the end of the mountain road.
It can be seen from the clothes of the escort that it is the Linjiang Escort Agency in Qingyan Town, which has cooperated with Wuwei Taoist Temple several times before.
The caravans are all escorted by escorts. Even though it is just a job across the city, the area of Qingyan Town is really too wide.
It takes about five days for ordinary people to cross on foot.
They also had to pass through many strange forces, and many caravans had to take detours and pass through the streets where the forces met.
Wu Quantum frowned slightly.
He found that the escort looked miserable and it seemed that the trip was not peaceful.
Not only were they all covered in blood, but some of them had mutilated hands and feet, and there were even four or five corpses on a pallet truck.
Wu Quantum took a deep breath and hurriedly headed towards the caravan with Qing Songzi.
Along the way he called to the Taoist boy to handle the spiritual rice.
Immediately, the Wuwei Taoist Temple began to boil, and the rice that was drying on the open ground was packed into sacks and prepared to be transported to the bottom of the mountain.
The caravan was so severely damaged that it was in no mood to continue on its way as it was exhausted.
Amid the shouts of the leading bodyguard, the cart gradually stopped on the flat road, and the other bodyguards could not help but hear sounds of relief.
The caravan didn't care about the looks of the farmers around them. They comforted the old horses on the spot and each ate dry food and rested.
As the escort leader, Deng Chuan walked out of the team. He couldn't help but look at the Taoist temple with his hands on his hips, his expression showing deep fatigue.
"What a shame..."
"Where's Ronaldinho?"
"Boss, I'm here."
The young man not far away looked at Wuwei Taoist Temple with reverence. When he heard the escort leader calling him, he agreed and hurried over.
"Let everyone know that the bodies of our brothers will be buried in the back mountain."
Luo Xian nodded, unable to help but feel a little sore in his nose.
He found Deng Chuan looking at him and quickly turned his head away for fear of being scolded.
Deng Chuan shook his head helplessly. Who would have thought that just walking around the town would require taking such terrifying risks.
But this is Jingzhou today.
Wu Qun and two people came to the caravan, and the disciples behind them distributed water and food.
Deng Chuan nodded, picked up a piece of bitter leaf and put it on the tip of his tongue to refresh himself.
"Dengtou, are you okay?"
He didn't waste any time and took out a heavy money bag from his arms and threw it to the other party as hard-earned money given by the Taoist temple.
Deng Chuan's face looked better, and he couldn't help but look at Wu Qun.
These bodyguards have no religious traditions and can only practice ordinary entry-level magic. It is almost impossible to form a pill after building the foundation.
However, Deng Chuan could still see that the situation of Wu Quantum's out-of-control body and soul had been greatly improved, and he couldn't help but secretly thought to himself that the Immortal Sect was the Immortal Sect, and a skinny camel was bigger than a horse.
"Of course something happens, I'm lucky to be alive."
Wu Quantum's heart beat wildly after hearing this. His first reaction was that the mandrill Taoist priest who had a problem with them immediately asked.
"What on earth is going on?"
"I don't know who is responsible for violating Grandma Fox Fairy's taboo..."
Deng Chuan swallowed when he said this and his voice became softer: "Many women in the city have been skinned. It's really miserable."
"If Grandma Fox Fairy hadn't shown little interest in rough guys like us, how could she have survived long enough to come to Wuwei Taoist Temple."
"It's been a few years since anyone dared to violate Qingqiu's taboos. They are really brave."
Qingsongzi couldn't help but tremble.
Every weird thing has some kind of taboo, and once it is involved, it will lead to madness.
When the strangeness first came a few decades ago, the situation was like a closed morning street. The strangeness would be triggered inadvertently, resulting in a large number of casualties among the people.
Until some monks discovered the rules of taboos and used some means to make the weird no longer so unscrupulous.
They also relied on strange practices to form the forces they are today.
Deng Chuan sighed and said: "Which hunter in Jingzhou doesn't know that fox skin can't be peeled off?"
"I'm afraid Grandma Fox Fairy will have to peel off three hundred human skins before she can stop. I'm afraid those Qingqiu monks can use this to improve their cultivation level a lot."
The taboo of the Qingqiu Fox Fairy is to pick off the fox skin. Even if the hunters see the fox, they will avoid it. How dare they provoke it so easily?
Qingsongzi speculated that it would be unrealistic to just peel off the fur of one or two foxes to make Qingqiu Yigui so aggressive.
The three of them chatted while the escort took a break.
At this time, a sudden voice came from beside them: "How do weird monks use taboos to practice?"
Deng Chuan and others subconsciously turned their heads. The nearby escorts were busy and did not notice who asked the question.
In the past, they would have definitely been vigilant to get to the bottom of it, but at this time, no one went to find the source of the sound.
Deng Chuan said: "Who knows, involving the weird monks will definitely lead to disaster. There are even rumors that they will use living people to refine medicine."
Wu Quantum is also not sure. It may be due to some restrictions imposed by Weigui, and the method of Weigui monks has never been spread.
Qing Songzi asked in confusion: "Why didn't you see Accountant Liu of the Zixi Chamber of Commerce? Didn't he come to take care of the grain collection this time?"
Deng Chuan looked bitter and pointed at a corpse being transported and said, "That's it."
Qing Songzi was speechless and didn't know how to comfort her. The death of her employer would definitely affect future cooperation.
Wu Quantum broke the silence and said: "Dengtou, you guys need to rest nearby for the night. The caravan can set off again tomorrow."
Deng Chuan hesitated for a few moments, then shook his head slightly and said: "We still have to hurry up as soon as possible. At least we understood the route when we came here, but we can't tell how long we will wait."
"I don't know how long it will take for Grandma Fox Fairy to end, and Linggu can't delay it."
Although Qingqiu Yigui will only attack pretty women, the Yiwei monks who follow him will not be lenient at all.
The caravan had encountered a strange monk who was alone before, and had to sacrifice a lot to be able to survive.
"Okay, I'll prepare more food for you."
There is no force to stay without quantum, and when Weigui goes crazy, unless he waits for the incident to end before showing his face, his life will always be in danger.
Sacks filled with spiritual grains were transported from the mountain top to the caravan.
Luo Xian noticed that the Taoist boy was walking swiftly and his eyes were full of envy.
He once thought about joining the Immortal Sect, but unfortunately his talent was far from satisfactory.
Deng Chuan frowned, secretly thinking about the details of the return journey, when the strange voice next to him asked again.
"Where will you pass?"
Deng Chuan turned around and saw a man with double pupils.
Based on his many years of experience in traveling around the world, this person's aura is extremely unusual, and he is likely to have cultivated above the pill-forming stage.
Deng Chuan was just about to question, but suddenly his surroundings seemed to have changed.
His expression softened, and the other person's presence became less obtrusive, as if he was originally a bodyguard in the caravan.
"Changning Street."
"The area occupied by corpse elephants should be kept away from strangers. I plan to take a detour from the nearby Changning Street to the west of the city. It should be safer."
"That's just the way to go."
Ren Qingyue got on the cart and buried his body in the harvest valley. The smell of wheat made him feel relaxed and happy.
The caravan and even the Taoist disciples turned a blind eye to him. Even if they caught a glimpse of him occasionally, they would naturally treat him as a companion in their hearts.
This is the power of disaster elimination.
After Ren Qing promoted the Disaster Elimination Technique to the Yin Cha Realm, he could control his own existence at will, and he could also apply it to others and objects.
And the usefulness of disaster elimination methods goes far beyond that.
However, if Ren Qing was allowed to practice on his own, he would never come into contact with it. This technique was really too evil.
He has mastered more than ten kinds of magic and has been exposed to dozens of kinds of magic, but compared with the disaster elimination method, the rest of the magic can be described as ordinary.
After Ren Qing initially mastered the method of eliminating disasters, strange objects suddenly appeared in his body.
Although he could vaguely detect the existence of strange objects, no matter what method he used to detect them, he could not find any traces.
When Ren Qing was promoted to the Half-Zombie Realm, the strange object of the Disaster Elimination Technique came out of the body again.
But still can't find it.
After being promoted to the Yin difference realm, you can no longer even detect strange objects.
According to the information flow, the strange object should have turned into a monster named "Wugui" and made a living by devouring existence.
The absence of tricks is the power of the method of eliminating disasters.
