Hearing Jinyin's message, Ge Xian's face was filled with surprise.
What a bizarre development is this?
He took over as the spiritual officer before, and after knowing the [rebirth task], he didn't think it was difficult. He just wanted to protect the safety of most people first, then distribute more spiritual food, reduce labor, ensure that the people can recuperate, etc. The natural population is also Just went up.
If that doesn't work, he can still use some insidious tricks belonging to monks.
For example, the Moon Mother Mirror is used to make people who are eligible for childbearing in the metropolis fall into "desire dreams".
Because he can think of a large number of solutions with just one thought, Ge Xian did not take this task very seriously. He only wanted to clean up the Yishan Mountain and cultivate the many Dharma veins in his body to a high enough level. It would be best if he could think of countless solutions. Ask the gods for a price, and after you have a powerful life-saving trump card, you can go out to Dadu.
But who would have thought that such a change would happen?
"Because of invisible pollution, you are completely unwilling to have a baby?"
"And the scope of this pollution spread is the entire [mundane world]?"
Ge Xian immediately realized something was wrong.
There is almost no doubt that at least one powerful evil god from the outside is involved in causing this level of pollution.
To solve it, we have to confront this evil god, or the weird magic lineage.
"Those zombie-like old things from the Wanfa Sect must know some of the secrets behind it, but they can't take action because of some considerations, or they can't solve it even if they take action."
"So, the heavy responsibility was placed on the spiritual officials who had strong backing and roots."
"I'm afraid the other spiritual officers have already started taking action."
"I am the only one who is still hiding. The gods of all laws are anxious when they see that I am only taking benefits and not doing any work."
After thinking about the cause and effect, Ge Xian couldn't help but want to complain and scold him.
Sure enough, all "bosses" in the world are the same, looking down on their subordinates who have to work.
What's more, he, Ge Xian, still received the biggest benefit.
However, he had already received the position of spiritual officer, as well as a cave as big as Yixian Mountain. Ge Xian did not want to be dismissed after a year, so he had to send a message back and accepted the task.
"It just so happens that the death row prisoners have run out of spiritual servants."
"The exploration of Yixian Mountain has to be stopped for now. If we have to go again, some death row prisoners will probably come over."
"This time, I will go in person."
"Let's check it out by the way."
Ge Xian finished his thoughts, and then summoned the pretty young woman and Master Li. After giving an explanation, he left Yixian Mountain and headed towards Dadu.
Although Priest Kunpeng has pointed out the crux of the problem, Ge Xian wants to see it with his own eyes.
After many days, we return to Dadu.
Tuotuo is fighting abroad, and Fugui's sister is still receiving Tutuo's inheritance from [Tianshu Shangxianglingshen]. According to Ge Xian's guess about Tuotuo's character, Fugui will have to wait until he dies before Fugui can leave.
The key is, it won't take long.
As a result, the only acquaintances left in Dadu were acquaintances like Xie Dezhen.
He was not considered a stranger, so Ge Xian did not tell anyone, nor did he go to the Yamen residence given to him by the Dayuan court as the [Chief Spiritual Officer of the Capital]. When he was rewarded by the previous court, the emperor gave him a luxurious mansion and an office space called Lingguan Mansion.
He didn't care about these at all, he accepted them but didn't use them.
In his eyes, Ohara Dynasty was going to perish soon, so he was too lazy to get involved.
If you accept these things, you will inevitably get involved with many complex forces in the capital, causing cause and effect.
If one person is not good, he may be involved in the trouble of "fighting for the world".
He simply pretended to be aloof and unruly, and hid in Yixian Mountain after taking office.
As a result, the many forces were at a loss as to what to do, and they could not find any chance to make a move.
The imperial examination for spiritual officials has been over for many days, and other realms in the secular world have begun to adapt to one [search for spiritual officials].
The so-called three things that make new officials take office is that almost all spiritual officials have caused quite a lot of troubles after taking office and have become famous one after another.
Only Ge Xian, the number one scholar, with such a great reputation, has still achieved nothing, which is completely confusing.
…
As soon as he entered Dadu, Ge Xian went straight to the market, without even going to the busiest place called Goulan House.
Even there, it was not less attractive to him.
There are a total of fifty squares in the capital city. There are gates but no walls. There are bustling streets extending in all directions. The turbid air of the world and the great desire turn into a majestic mist invisible to mortals, covering all the land. It is worthy of being called The first secular city.
Ge Xian randomly selected a building, adjacent to the busier T-shaped street in the capital.
The familiar smell of the market suddenly made Ge Xian interested.
Now he can be regarded as reaching the sky in one step, and he has long forgotten his original profession: salesman.
The main purpose of this trip is to get more death row prisoners.
The secondary purpose is to examine the reasons why people do not want to have children.
Ge Xian could choose to capture the soul directly and ask questions in a dream, but when he got interested, he changed his appearance and resumed the same salesman's clothes as when he was in Qiantang County.
While shaking the rattle, he opened his mouth to shout and started walking through the streets.
Even though he is now a metamorphosis monk who has practiced many kinds of dharma, he is still very good at pretending to be a mortal without any flaws.
In fact, he is really doing business.
Selling various gadgets or treating cattle, horses and children for some copper coins.
Of course, during this process, the daily living conditions and complaints of the people in the capital city were all introduced to Ge Xian's eyes and ears.
They are all trivial matters, but if you pick and choose, many of them are closely related to the world of spiritual practice and the general trend of the world.
For example, there is something about "spiritual food."
"Have you heard? The imperial court has planted a new batch of spiritual food. There is something called [Red Jade Sweet Potato] in it. It is sweet and filling. Once it matures, no one in the world will have to go hungry. "
"Haha, what you say is beautiful. How can such good spiritual food be used by ordinary people like us?"
"If you plant it, it will most likely be resold by those profiteers and corrupt officials."
"That's right, who doesn't remember the original [Five Color Rice]? It was so popular at the beginning, but when it was grown, it was snatched away by those wealthy families, nobles and corrupt officials. We could only eat a little rice husks, which is still a stain." Without the light of Dadu, the people in other provinces cannot even smell it."
These words struck his ears, and Ge Xian couldn't help but remember them.
It was he who collected the red jade sweet potatoes and gave them to Wanfajiao, who then gave them to Ohara Chao.
The original intention of Ge Xian and Wan Fa Jiao was naturally to help the people and maintain the population.
But after layers of transfers and repeated exploitation, this goal became difficult.
Fortunately, Ge Xian's powers and responsibilities as the chief spiritual officer of Dadu happened to include this one.
"It's not enough to have dragon tooth rice. Even the things in the mouths of the Kuhaha people are concerned about it. They are all worthless stuff."
"When the sweet potatoes are ripe, I'll step in again, huh."
Ge Xian wrote it down while continuing to snoop and listen.
Most of the talk in the market is nonsense.
But among them, there are indeed many extraordinary things, such as rebellion, joining the evil god's lineage, or some secret things, etc.
"My father, what is the [Maitreya Cult] that Hei Wa ran to join? It doesn't sound like a serious sect. Nothing will happen."
"What can happen to Maitreya Buddha, the god of salvation? Without him, our family can live so well now?"
"As well as all the neighbors around us, if the Maitreya Sect had compassionately given us spiritual food and elixirs, we would have died of the plague long ago. If we don't worship Maitreya Buddha, why should we worship those useless gods of all dharma?" ? Those pieces of shit will accept any kind of sacrifice, but once we are in trouble, we won’t even be able to fart."
"That's right, but it's still not safe enough. If they rebel, our Heiwa family will be doomed."
…
"Tsk tsk, have you heard the rumor? It is said that in the Ming Yufang next door, there is a girl who was born like a fairy. She was spotted by the palace and became a maid next to Concubine Huan. When one person attained enlightenment, the whole family followed him to heaven. ”
"Such a good life? Oh, it would be great if our family also gave birth to a beautiful female baby. The second girl is as ugly as a female toad. Who else can take notice of her except the donkey's egg next door?"
"Hmph, what do you know? In fact, that house is miserable. A dirty place like the palace, how can you get better after entering a dirty place like the palace?"
"When I was out on the street, I heard some hooligans who had adopted the palace eunuch as their father whispering secrets, saying that the entire palace had become a paradise for the emperor and the fantasy concubine. It would be better to have fun with an emperor than to have sex with him. A lunatic with Hualiu disease will die on the throne sooner or later."
"Shh, don't dare talk nonsense."
…
"Brother, let's rebel. In this kind of ghost world, we brothers work hard every day and are exploited all the time. We can't even get enough food and clothing. What's wrong with this life?"
"Third brother is right. We work so hard that we can't even afford a wife in the end. We can only go to those half-opened prostitutes every now and then to live our lives. It's boring."
"You kid, please close the waistband of your pants for me. If you get sick, I will throw you out when the time comes."
"Sixth brother is right, elder brother. Anyway, our parents are gone now. We ten brothers are born with extraordinary powers. We should have made great contributions and strive for a big career. How can we keep cowering in this slum?"
"That's right, let's go and surrender to those rebels. I heard that no matter which branch is recruiting soldiers, as long as you join them, you will be given wealth. If you are talented, you can also get a book of practice and materials, and you can directly transform from a mortal to a human. To become those monks who can move mountains and reclaim seas, that is what men like us should do."
"Well, it's not impossible, but who should I surrender to? Most of the rebels around the capital have been cleared away by the court, leaving only some useless bandits. If you surrender, you're looking for death."
"Let's go south. Now the most powerful one in the world, the rebels who hope to seize the throne and establish a new dynasty are all in the south. For example, the one named [Zhang Shicheng]. I heard that he has the support of the legendary holy land Kunlun Dragon Nest. As long as he matches the With talent, you can obtain the Dragon Blood Dragon Technique and transform from human race to dragon race.”
"Forget it, Zhang Shicheng. This guy just took over Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and he was immediately surrounded and suppressed by Prime Minister Tuoduo. He will die soon."
"Let's go to Liu Futong. This man has a great reputation. He has countless gods, demons, and monsters under his command. He also has the support of major sects such as Maitreya Sect and White Lotus Sect. It's not too late for us to apply. If we are lucky, we can get a lot of merit."
"No way. I've made inquiries. This guy will be surrounded and suppressed soon. We'll wait until he survives."
"Then you can only vote for [Zhu Hongwu]. He has been the most popular recently. He has defeated the generals sent by the imperial court one after another, and his territory is getting bigger and bigger. I heard that the [Soul God Official Chang Shattered Skull] that the imperial court just awarded is basically useless. It was his adopted brother who, as soon as he returned to the fiefdom, directly helped Zhu Hongwu in his conquests, which made the court furious, but unfortunately there was nothing that could be done."
…
Ge Xian obviously didn't expect to hear these contents.
Sure enough, unless he hides in Yixian Mountain, there is no way to avoid these.
As soon as he entered the mortal world, he completed the rebellion progress of the rebels.
It was almost as he expected!
With the help of spiritual officials such as Chang Broken Skull and Monk Baihua who have the resources of Wanfa Sect, each of them has made great progress.
At the same time, they all encountered a crazy encirclement and counterattack by the Ohara court.
"I thought Chang Shashou would hide it, but I didn't expect that even the common people in the capital city would know about it now."
"The God-searching official who was just awarded a reward turned around and was revealed to be working for the rebels, and he even made a big fanfare to help them expand... This slap will probably make the cuckold emperor's face disappear."
"If Tuotuo can successfully eliminate Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Hongwu will definitely be next."
With this thought in mind, Ge Xian did not deduce it any further because the result was not good.
Before Tuotuo led his army to set off, he had made it clear to Ge Xian that the expedition could have been successful, but he would have been betrayed and plotted by his own side, and ultimately failed.
This is destiny and no one can stop it.
It can even be said that Tuotuo did this on purpose.
He wanted to die before Ohara Dynasty, so as not to experience that feeling of powerlessness.
With a sigh in his heart, Ge Xian looked at the sky and it was already late, and muttered:
"It's time to get down to business!"
…
Most of the city is prosperous, with many hook-and-mortar houses that are still open for business even at night, so it is also known as the city that never sleeps.
However, these pleasures that cost money have nothing to do with hundreds of thousands of poor people.
They usually only have one thing to enjoy: getting on the bed together as a couple, covering them with quilts, and making babies.
After Ge Xian heard the message from Priest Kunpeng, he originally thought that most people had lost interest in doing that thing for some reason.
In short, both men and women have become indifferent.
But tonight, when Ge Xian spied on the people in the city through the [Moon Mother Mirror], he clearly saw a large number of couples starting to have sex, including some with old trees blooming, and they were not shy or impatient, and they were moving impatiently, and they were shouting one after another. , very happy.
Even in Ge Xian's view, they were completely immersed in it, their desires were rising, and they were quite lustful.
"Um?"
"The information is wrong?"
"According to this method, it seems that I don't need to use any more hands and feet. After one year, most of the population will surge by 10% without any problem."
Ge Xian's doubts and surprise did not last long.
The next dozens of breaths, hundreds of breaths, hundreds of breaths...all were completed by the couple.
Normally, it would be time for the young wives to complain, then wash up and rest.
But what Ge Xian saw was that these couples began to use various methods for contraception.
Either the Dharma or the folk remedy.
In short, in the entire metropolis, without exception, all ordinary couples who have completed their marriages seem to be only willing to do that thing rather than give birth to new life.
One pair, two pairs, dozens of pairs, this is normal.
But all?
In an instant, Ge Xian verified the information and felt the strangeness in it.
