I Am Immortal In The Cultivation World

Linyang County.

The streets are deserted and desolate, and sporadic pedestrians walk in a hurry.

The tavern clerk wiped the table and the floor diligently, lest the business be too bad and be dismissed by the shopkeeper.

In these years, countless people are rushing to do jobs that can eat enough!

Four years of natural disasters in a row, even with the blessing of the God of the Land, it is inevitable that the people will suffer all kinds of tragedies.

At the least, they buy and sell their daughters, and at worst, the whole family dies.

Ten rooms are empty, and the bones cover the field.

"Everyone in the world praises gods..."

Zhou Yi muttered to himself, and when he said these words now, he only felt full of irony.

People in the county town and nearby villages built earth temples everywhere out of gratitude, but they never imagined that the disasters that happened in successive years came from the gods that everyone praised and admired.

"I'm depressed, it's time to celebrate."

Zhou Yi told the clerk to keep an eye on the shop, and went out with his hands behind his back, strolling leisurely on the street.

From time to time, I meet acquaintances and lament that business is not good recently, and if this continues, I will return to the countryside to farm.

"Treasurer Zhu went to listen to the music again? You are not young, it's time to calm down and get married and have children!"

The shopkeeper of Huixiang Building introduced: "I have a distant niece who can calculate accounts and understand female celebrities, and she was born well. How about I make peace with you?"

"You bastard, let us be inferior for nothing!"

Zhou Yi refused indiscriminately. He looked thirty-five or sixteen years old, already past middle age. In recent years, many people wanted to match him.

They all searched for reasons to refuse, and the current God of Earth, Shouyuan, has acquired the secret technique of incense and fire. The status of the tavern manager will not last for many years, so there is no need to delay others.

Shortly after.

east of the city.

Xiaoxiang Building.

Unlike other shops, the business is bleak, the building is bustling and noisy, and there are many guests in the clear sky and broad daylight.

The luxuriously dressed sons and merchants were full of spring breeze and spirits, and did not experience the distress of natural disasters at all.

Land prices have plummeted, and people can buy all the land of the people at extremely low prices. At the same time, the price of grain has skyrocketed, and local rich families have private granaries. They only need a little grain to get back the money they bought for the land, and they can also earn a contract of sale.

Mostly it was the poor who offered their land and rushed to work as slaves!

Such a good thing has been going on for several years, so I should come to Goulan to be happy.

As soon as Zhou Yi entered the door, the bustard twisted his waist and came over with a smile on his face, as if he saw his relatives.

This is an old customer of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. For twenty years, he sent away three generations of bustards!

"Master Zhu, Miss Xiaoxiao is waiting for you upstairs."

The old bustard spoke nicely, as if she was receiving a distinguished guest, but Zhou Yi came too many times, and there was always a free girl whenever she came.

Zhou Yi nodded slightly, and was following the old bustard upstairs when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the girl in the arms of the boy from the Sun family.

The Sun family belonged to the local snake in Linyang County, and they controlled the pawns, government servants, etc. all the year round. It can be said that they were the magistrates of the county handed down from generation to generation.

The girl looked at the face, showing fear and resistance, as if she was not used to it yet.

The more this is the case, the more it arouses Mr. Zhang's desire, and his speech and actions are more explicit.

Zhou Yi didn't feel pity out of his heart, nine out of ten girls in the Goulan had tragic backgrounds, they couldn't be more pitiful, their eyes sparkled, and they saw a ray of black energy growing in the girl's body.

The peristalsis meanders like a strange insect, drilling back and forth in the meridians and viscera.

Mr. Zhang was contaminated with a trace of black energy due to frequent contact, and grew stronger by absorbing his blood energy.

"Evil law..."

Zhou Yi's spiritual sense scanned the entire Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and found that many people had black air in their bodies, big or small, most of them had no effect, and three of them were lying in the firewood room and moaning in pain.

Those three people's facial features were sunken, and their whole body was skinny.

"The power of the spell is very weak. Not to mention harming monks, even martial arts masters can suppress it. The only powerful thing is that the infection is extremely fast, so this method is aimed at mortals?"

Zhou Yi had a vague guess in his heart, and nine out of ten it was the land god who made another move.

Drought, Locust Plague, Flood, Earthquake, Another Plague?

"This guy is crazy, what exactly do you want to do?"

Zhouyi inquired about Linyang county annals, and compared the disasters in the past three hundred years, it only happened once every five or six years.

Besides, not all of them are caused by the gods of the land. There are also the gods of mountains and water, plus real natural disasters.

"Shouyuan is about to run out, so wantonly search for wishing beads, is it to prolong life?"

Zhou Yi frowned slightly. This was the most likely reason. There were many cultivators in the world of cultivating immortals in Jiuzhou who made crazy blood sacrifices to prolong their lives before they died.

There is great terror between life and death!

Cultivators are used to being superior, they are more afraid of death than ordinary people, and they are reluctant to bear power and position.

"Let's continue to see for a while, what kind of tricks this guy is playing!"

Zhou Yi's eyes were gloomy. The plague was different from other natural disasters. It really spread rapidly, and even a county might be wiped out.

The Daheng Dynasty couldn't control the evil gods of the mountains and wilds, and there were still legal restrictions on the righteous gods of the state capital. If a catastrophe happened, people would definitely be sent to liquidate the land gods.

Shinto herdsmen, but they can't even cut off the roots of leeks!

...

Yuan Ding seventy-five years.

summer.

A strange epidemic broke out in Linyang, Qingyun Prefecture, infecting tens of thousands of people.

The disease devours qi and blood, and the patients are as thin as wood, wandering around, howling like living corpses.

...

There is a tavern.

The doors of the store were tightly closed and the windows were nailed shut.

The man guarded the front and rear doors with a wooden stick, and looked nervously at the street outside through the hole.

Scattered pedestrians on the street, their eyes were blank, they walked slowly and wobbled, and heard thumping sounds from time to time, and they didn't need to look to see that someone had fallen to the ground.

"Shopkeeper, why don't we just wait?"

The guy who spoke was named Yang San, he was strong and knew how to handle crops, and he was in charge of guarding the front door.

Zhou Yi sighed and said, "What else can I do? If I go outside, I may suffer from the plague. Doctor Wang in Huichun Hall can't save me, so I can only watch and wait for death!"

Yang San glanced at the unreal figures outside, and said fearfully, "There's not much food in the shop."

"Wine is the food for food. If you persist for ten and a half months, someone will take care of the mess."

A cold light flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes. Those who were affected by the evil spell of the plague could only live for three to five days if they were weak, while those who were young and strong could last for ten and a half months.

At that time, if they don't come out to manifest the divine power and "help the world and save the people", the people of Linyang County will all die.

People are all dead, how can we offer incense?

Zhou Yi flipped through the book in his hand, and found that it was the copied Incense and Concentration Technique. Since he got this method, he has been reading and pondering it day and night.

As my understanding deepens, I feel more and more that this method is mysterious, and it can be said to be the foundation of the divine way!

Even if there is no Shinto inheritance in Dongsheng Shenzhou, as long as the usage of the Wishing Pearl is continuously expanded, a complete incense Shinto will be deduced one day.

"This method gives me the feeling that it is similar to the Small Cutting Heaven Art and the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art, but it is more complete and profound, and I can gain something from daily comprehension... Unfortunately, no matter how mysterious the divine way is, I can't practice it. I just rely on the power of my vows. Zhudu Tribulation!"

Zhou Yi respects the power of incense and fire from the bottom of his heart, even if the disadvantages of the low realm are not obvious, he is not willing to be contaminated.

Ten days later.

Yang San lay dizzy behind the door and lived on wine and water for five consecutive days, even the tough man couldn't bear it.

suddenly.

Dangdangdang...

The sound of the gong sounded outside, and then the servants shouted.

"The God of the Earth has manifested, the God of the Land has manifested..."

"Temple of the Earth issued amulets for amulets, and wearing them can dispel evil and plague, and prevent all diseases from invading..."

"Everyone must go to get the magic talisman. The God of the Land helps the world and saves the people. The magic talisman is free, and you don't need a penny..."

A yell echoed through the street.

The county town, which had been dead for more than ten days, came alive in an instant, and the people who heard the shouts rushed to the earth temple.

...

West of the city.

Earth Temple.

Originally, there was only the Earth Temple in the east of the city. Due to the continuous disaster relief of the Earth God, various temples of various sizes have been erected.

Outside the temple, there was a queue several miles long, expecting to receive the talisman.

The yamen servants maintained order, yelled at the people who jumped in line, handcuffed those who dared to be disobedient and threw them into cells.

"Master, please, can you let me go to jail after receiving the talisman, or I will die if I drag it on."

The people who jumped in the line looked haggard, obviously suffering from the plague, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Please forgive me, I don't want to die, please forgive me..."

The yamen servant didn't care about these things, he beat him with the iron ruler a few times, and was about to drag him away while shouting.

"Boss Liu, don't do this."

A gentle voice came, but it was a mage wearing a yellow robe: "He did nothing wrong to save his life. Laymen, can you give him a magic talisman to save his life?"

"sure."

"Master Jia is merciful, the land god is merciful!"

"I know this person. He does good deeds on weekdays. He is not a bad person."

"..."

People queuing up didn't dare to have an opinion, so they hurriedly spoke up to support it, because this person is Miaozhu Master Jia.

Bantou Liu hastily bowed to salute, more respectful than seeing the magistrate, and said: "Master Jia has spoken, so this man will be taken advantage of."

The people survived death, and immediately became the most devout believers of the Earth God, and entered the Earth Temple under the guidance of Master Jia.

Spirit talismans are not easy to get!

According to Miao Zhu's explanation, the magic talisman is drawn by the God of the Earth for the believers, and it can only be effective if it is offered devoutly.

After a series of kowtows, offering incense and chanting scriptures, the common people finally got the magic talisman.

The slap was made of big yellow paper, and the moment I took it, I felt comfortable all over my body, my body was still weak, but I no longer felt the pain of the worm gnawing my heart and liver.

"Thank you, God of the Earth!"

...

County government.

back hall.

The doors and windows are dilapidated, and the roof is in disrepair.

Since Daheng Taizu, there has been a management of officials not repairing the yamen. Since Zhao County Magistrate took office, he can't and dare not repair it.

It was midsummer, and the heat was unbearable.

County magistrate Zhao didn't feel the heat at all, sitting cross-legged on the futon, holding a wishing bead to refine spiritual energy.

At this time.

A shadow emerged from the corner of the wall, turning into an old man in robes, bowing to report.

"My lord, that person has started to save people."

"knew."

County magistrate Zhao stopped his practice, put away the wish force beads, thought for a moment and ordered: "Don't stare at this matter any longer, everyone takes back their hands, just pretend they don't know."

The old man was puzzled and said: "This epidemic is not like a natural disaster. The traces of the spell are so obvious that anyone with a discerning eye can see it. If it spreads..."

"So what if it gets out?"

Zhao County Magistrate said: "The ninth rank of the official district has just established the foundation, how can it be qualified to manage Jindan's affairs? At most, it is considered that the supervision is unfavorable. I cried a few times in front of the teacher, and it passed!"

The master said worriedly: "I'm afraid the higher ups will check the whereabouts of the wishing beads."

County magistrate Zhao had expected it, and said: "The officials of the wishing force beads will not move for the time being, and observe the direction of the wind for a few years. If the incident happens, they will be handed over to the court immediately, and maybe they can make a contribution!"

"My lord is wise."

The master suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. If there was something wrong with the county magistrate Zhao, he also suffered.

"Do you think that one can do it?"

"Nine times out of ten."

Zhao County Magistrate said: "This plague can collect at least thousands of wish beads, plus the previous four years, the number is more than ten thousand, enough to buy a state judge!"

"From the cultivator to the yin god, from the immortal way to the ghost way, the life span will last for hundreds of years."

The master enviously said: "Besides, the judge of the state government has amazing power, no wonder he is willing to take risks!"

"This is not a risk, but a real gamble!"

County Magistrate Zhao looked at the Earth Temple and said quietly.

"Shen Dao is far less free and easy than Immortal Dao. It is too entangled with believers in cause and effect. Don't say that the matter of promotion has not yet been achieved. If it is done, it is hard to say that there will be no future troubles. Could it be possible to slaughter the people of Linyang?"

"The people are easy to abuse, but the gods are hard to bully! This karma will be repaid sooner or later..."

...

Earth Temple.

The crowd was raging.

The common people who had doubts about the talisman became more enthusiastic when they saw the dying person healed in an instant.

When queuing up to offer incense, they shouted and thanked the God of Land, each voice getting louder.

Zhou Yi was in the crowd, with a look of sarcasm flashing in his eyes, and he could clearly see the strength of his wishes by practicing the incense and concentration technique.

The people shouted loudly, but the incense offered was shallow.

Of course, the plague involves life and death, and the grace of the land god to save lives is ten times and a hundred times more than the usual incense.

"It's no wonder that Hong Luo said that the continuous natural disasters will not increase the people's faith, but will become weaker. They believe in gods in order to seek a stable and prosperous life, but they continue to suffer from disasters and crimes."

"Life is too miserable, even if the gods save lives, there is no pious faith!"

Zhou Yi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the past few years were caused by natural disasters, even if the monks cast spells to investigate, it was difficult to find the cause of the disaster.

This year, the simple and rude casting of evil spells is obviously an ordinary natural disaster, and it has not been able to arouse the power of the people to offer incense and fire, so more ruthless and more poisonous methods must be used.

Just like cutting leeks, you can't be too hard or too hard, you have to give it a chance to grow!

Zhou Yi disappeared in a flash, and arrived at the south of the city a moment later, which is a slum in Linyang County.

Sewage-filled streets, dilapidated and overcrowded houses.

Bitterwater Street.

Bing Thirteen.

There was only a black and thin boy in the yard, because he was so sick that he didn't even have the strength to get out of bed.

In the flood the year before last, my mother drowned.

Last year, Dilong turned over and his father was crushed to death.

The rest of the relatives and friends in the neighborhood have all died in the natural disasters in recent years, and they can be said to be complete orphans.

The boy deserved to die, but he was very lucky and somehow survived every time.

When starving to death, a few little mice sprang out from the corner and were about to drown. A few pieces of driftwood floated over.

roof.

Zhou Yi looked at the dying young man, Tian Linggen, the orphan, surnamed Lin, and a deep hatred... It can be said that he had a deep luck, waved his hand to release the Lingshen baby, and ordered.

"According to plan."

"Elder Immortal, don't worry!"

While the spirit ginseng doll was speaking, it turned into a girl in azure shirts, with hands like catkins and skin like creamy fat. Bells were worn on her wrists and bare feet, and there were jingling sounds as she walked.

The voice startled the young man in the room, and when he opened his eyes to see the beautiful woman, he lost his mind in a daze.

Lingshen doll has bright eyes and white teeth, and is full of smiles.

"Grandpa, do you still remember the green snake you saved back then..."
