Chapter 1340 Hidden God 17
Chapter 1340 Hidden God 17
The situation in this mortal world is very typical, at least that's what Jiang Xinxin thinks.
Of course, the majority of people are ordinary people who cannot practice cultivation. However, precisely because of their large numbers, it is easier for the monks to oppress them. All channels for upward mobility seem to be blocked by the monks, and the chances of ordinary people to change their fate are slimmer than a spider silk.
Because even if there is a person with excellent aptitude, understanding and character among ordinary people, he can only join one force to obtain resources for cultivation.
But such people are more vulnerable to oppression than ordinary people, because they often have no one to rely on. Unless they give up their cultivation, they will be constantly exploited, and eventually even their bodies, souls, and even their merits and luck will be used up.
The people in this place are too competitive. The longest lifespan of a cultivator can be two to three thousand years, and the shortest can basically live to two to three hundred years as long as they have established a foundation. Even a warrior without any spiritual roots can maintain a lifespan of over a hundred years as long as their blood and energy are sufficient.
As for those mortals who have no spiritual roots and do not practice martial arts, their lifespan is probably around forty or fifty years old. Occasionally there may be one who is over seventy years old, but they are rare. Moreover, generally such families either have produced cultivators who have long been attached to some force, or they are the side branches of a certain cultivating family that cannot practice.
The biggest problem in this mortal world is that the Way of Heaven is not obvious. To be more precise, the Way of Heaven is unbalanced. The fighting between cultivators is very fierce, and it seems that "fighting" has become the only theme of this small world.
Jiang Xinxin couldn't just pass down the so-called Taoist tradition and walk away like she did last time. She could only leave first and try to awaken the Heavenly Dao as soon as possible, solve the so-called chaos, and gradually improve the rules. Only in this way could the problem be solved fundamentally.
Without further ado, Jiang Xinxin broke through the void and wanted to return to the fairyland immediately to ask Gu Jin something, but she didn't expect to hear the sound of bells resounding through the heaven and earth as soon as she returned to the fairyland.
Jiang Xinxin didn't know what the bell sound meant, but it sounded like it was calling for all the immortals to gather, so she quickly followed the sound of the bell.
The place where the bell rang was Daze Mountain. Jiang Xinxin was wondering what had happened in Daze Mountain the moment before, and the next moment she saw broken walls and devastation, and immortals gathering from all directions.
"What is going on?" Jiang Xinxin grabbed a passing immortal and asked.
The other party obviously knew something. Even though Jiang Xinxin looked unfamiliar, he knew how to answer Jiang Xinxin's worried face: "Everyone in Daze Mountain was slaughtered. Now only the dead immortal souls are consuming their spirits to maintain the formation of Daze Mountain. In this way, I'm afraid they won't even have the chance to reincarnate..."
Without saying a word, Jiang Xinxin quickly injected her magic power into the mountain protection formation of Daze Mountain, and recited scriptures to guide the immortal souls to enter the ghost world quickly. When the immortals saw Jiang Xinxin's actions, they couldn't help but start to guess her identity and origin. However, the immortals who had seen her on Wutong Island that year were only a minority after all, and there were not many fairies who had seen her now, and almost no one recognized her.
Gu Jin, who had hurriedly come with Ayin behind her, felt a surge of hope when he saw Jiang Xinxin casting a spell. He didn't dare to disturb Jiang Xinxin as his spiritual power was almost used up. He could only stand beside Jiang Xinxin and worry anxiously.
These immortal souls are really stubborn. Jiang Xinxin recited scriptures for a long time but didn't see anyone willing to go to the ghost world. They all just poured their spiritual power into the mountain protection formation.
Jiang Xinxin was so angry that she yelled, "What a psycho!"
"Do I lack your tiny bit of magic power?!"
"Go to the ghost world now!"
Following Jiang Xinxin's several roars, the souls of the Dazeshan disciples who were originally unconscious and only remembered to maintain the mountain protection formation finally became a little more sober. However, the three-day time limit was almost up. Even if Jiang Xinxin maintained the Dazeshan mountain protection formation, these dead disciples paused for a moment and continued to transfer soul power into the formation.
Jiang Xinxin had no choice but to turn around and scold Gu Jin, who was only worried but did nothing: "What are you doing? Hurry up and call out their names, tell them you are still alive, and the Dazeshan heritage is not extinct!"
Gu Jin then woke up as if from a dream, with red eyes, he shouted the names of all the Dazeshan disciples he remembered, and Ayin followed suit. The two of them shouted and persuaded over and over again, and finally at the last moment before the three-day deadline, Jiang Xinxin sent all of them into the ghost world to prepare for reincarnation.
After sending away all the dead Dazeshan disciples, Jiang Xinxin was too lazy to pretend. She looked at Gu Jin who was kneeling on the ground and bowing again and again, and asked unhappily, "Shouldn't the most urgent task be to find the culprit who massacred Dazeshan? You are acting so grief-stricken here now, which will not help."
As soon as Jiang Xinxin finished speaking, a very tiny divine light came from the divine realm and enveloped Gu Jin. Only Jiang Xinxin felt the seal on Gu Jin being lifted at the first time, and hurriedly called on all the immortals to step back to avoid being affected by the divine power emitted when the seal was broken.
The seal on Gu Jin's divine veins was completely broken, and a sword next to him was directly recognized as his master by Gu Jin. Then all the immortals knelt down towards Gu Jin and called him "True God Yuanqi". The only ones still standing on the field were Gu Jin himself, as well as Jiang Xinxin and Ayin who were relatively close to him.
Jiang Xinxin stood there calmly. Gu Jin raised his head and looked around. Ayin had no idea what she saw in his eyes and she just stood there in a daze.
No one expected that after Gu Jin came back to his senses, he would first bow to Jiang Xinxin, "My name is Yuan Qi, and I am honored to meet the True God Yuan Xin."
So the immortals who had just stood up had to kneel down and kowtow to Jiang Xinxin, calling her "True God Yuan Xin". This time, Ayin also kowtowed to Jiang Xinxin.
Jiang Xinxin raised her hand to avoid the formality. The first person to speak was Hua Shu from the Peacock Clan. "Two True Gods, please allow me to report that the catastrophe that befell Daze Mountain this time was all caused by Hong Yi from the Fox Clan!"
Hua Shu hates Hong Yi deeply. She now believes that Hong Yi not only killed her lover Lan Feng, but also murdered Da Ze Shan. She repeatedly asks Ku Jin, no, Yuan Qi to severely punish Hong Yi.
Yuan Qi did not express his opinion immediately, but looked at Jiang Xinxin.
Jiang Xinxin was speechless. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes and reminded everyone, "There are many things going on today. Since Hongyi is a suspect, he will be detained for the time being. When the matter in Daze Mountain is settled, Hongyi will naturally have his place to go."
The immortals did not dare to directly reject the words of a true god. Hua Shu realized that they could not do anything to Hong Yi today, so they could only follow Jiang Xinxin's advice and imprison Hong Yi in the heaven first.
After all the immortals left, Jiang Xinxin arranged for Yuan Qi to follow Hong Yi before he spoke. "Although I have only met Hong Yi a few times, I can see that he is not a cruel person. Moreover, no matter whether it is Hong Yi or the Fox Clan, they have never had any conflicts with Daze Mountain, so there must be something else going on."
"Now that Hua Shu has pointed out in front of all the immortals that Hong Yi is the murderer, then at least on the surface Hong Yi must have something that cannot be refuted, so you should follow Hong Yi in secret and see who will be eager to pin the crime on him."
