In March and April, Wu Sheng spent his days like this. In the evening, he spent an hour to inspect the Five Mountains and Luoshui, then searched for souls in the universe of heaven and earth, and then returned to the universe of heaven and earth to make little people with Jian Jia. A pot is made every three days, with as few as two or three hundred people, as many as five or six hundred people, and even seven or eight hundred people.
Jian Jia was very obsessed with creating people, and especially liked to shape women's bodies. Wu Sheng encouraged this, which was extremely important for the reproduction of the population. Watching the piles of soil being kneaded and shaped by her fingertips, and then waking up one by one after injecting their souls, watching the wooden houses rising from the ground, and the villages with smoke and birds, her play was greatly satisfied, and she had already Gradually become the main force in creating people.
Every three days, Wu Sheng would go to heaven to sit in the Lingxiao Palace and hold a court meeting, but the situation was nothing more than two sentences:
"If you have something to do, report it early; if nothing happens, leave the court!"
"Retreat!"
There isn't much going on in Heaven. Unless you take the initiative to find trouble, you can be said to be free. After going to court, Wu Sheng returned to the Spring and Autumn Period, and waited until the dead of night to collect souls above the cities and villages.
The nine-turn soul-suppressing flag was launched, and a stream of dark wind quietly rolled out in the air, sucking each soul into the flag. In big cities like Linzi, Qufu, and Yingdu, more than ten or twenty can be collected every day. In cities like Yangzhou and Jiujiang, three or five can be collected every day.
When traveling between cities, Wu Sheng would not let go of the small towns and villages he passed. There might not be one at all, but sometimes he could catch one or two.
Wu Sheng traveled thousands of miles every night, sacrificed soul flags dozens of times, and found one or two hundred intact fresh souls, which was enough to meet Jian Jia's basic needs of one pot every three days.
But the easiest place to obtain fresh souls is on the battlefields of various countries. Thanks to the characteristics of the times, there will be at least one big war and dozens or hundreds of small battles almost every month in the Spring and Autumn Period. As long as you get the news in time, you can obtain it from the battlefield every month. There is no problem in getting 1,800 living souls, and even if you seize the opportunity of a battle, you will have enough souls consumed for one month.
Wu Sheng also always pays attention to the news of the Taiping World, the Immortal World, the Body Search World and other major worlds. Occasionally, when a war breaks out in the other world, he rushes there and gets a large number of souls.
When May comes and the Queen Mother of the West sits in the Golden Palace, the population of the Heaven, Earth, Qiankun Realm has exceeded the 30,000 mark, covering three hundred miles of land around Langshan Mountain, forming a tribal alliance centered on Yangshen Village of Langshan Mountain.
The power structure of Langshan has also undergone major changes. Zuo Shenyin saw the hope of restoring the country and has changed from teaching and educating people, scientific and technological innovation to the role of national governor. Under his design, this tribal alliance only existed for two short months before disintegrating. It was replaced by a national governance form with Langshan as the capital and four cities in the east, west, south and north. However, the name of the country has not yet been set because Jiang Ying and Skeleton The founder was not interested in the name Zuo Guo.
Jiang Ying took over the important tasks of teaching, educating people and technological innovation. She built a new academy in Langshan and popularized mathematics, geometry, physics, chemistry and other knowledge. More than 500 students were forced to attend the academy. .
The Skeleton Patriarch finally put down his kitchen knives and pots and pans to teach biological science. This was a new knowledge he had developed bit by bit after combining his past Taoism and thirty years of observing the avenue of science.
On this day, Wu Sheng harvested nearly two thousand souls on the battlefield after a battle in Zhongshan, Zhao. He was about to rush back to shape people, but was stopped by Ziyu.
Ziyu flew down from the clouds and shouted: "Grand Bachelor——"
Wu Sheng asked: "Why is Bachelor Fish here?"
Ziyu said: "I have been looking for the Grand Scholar for many days, and I finally found it. Mr. Mo Zhai, Master Pan and others are waiting for the Grand Scholar in Lushan Mountain to discuss the matter of Wanxian Temple. Please move to the Grand Scholar."
Wu Sheng asked: "Has the Xinlichi Magic Array been imitated?"
Ziyu said: "We have an idea, but there is still one piece of array disk that cannot be cracked."
Wu Sheng said happily: "Let's go back to Lushan!"
Since the renovation of the five Ten Thousand Immortals Temples in the Spring and Autumn Period was completed three months ago, the Academy has mobilized a large number of manpower to secretly study the structure of the Ten Thousand Immortals Temples, especially the refining method of the Faith Pool. The monks from the Immortal World are also very strict in their precautionary measures. The Taoist priests who preside over the Ten Thousand Immortals Temple are served by two monks from the Immortal World. The cooks and courtyard cleaners hired from the Spring and Autumn Period built a special courtyard to live in. They are not allowed to go to the apse on weekdays. The temple is equipped with a surveillance array. Once triggered, it will trigger a counterattack...
On the Academy side, there are endless means, including:
Pretending to be believers burning incense and praying, they secretly observed the layout and structure;
Block the well water to cause water outage, and then send people to clear it;
Train demon cats and rats to sneak into temples and carry miniature photo arrays;
Deliberately causing fights among pilgrims, causing chaos and fishing in troubled waters...
The three-month struggle was calm on the surface, but turbulent and fierce secretly. In the end, due to the convenient location of the Academy, we finally figured out the regulations of the Ten Thousand Immortals Temple and the layout of the Faith Pool, and used it to design the Spring and Autumn Period. The trust pool formation plate.
In this regard, Mo Zhai reported the good news to Wu Sheng: "The coordinated layout specifications of the temple temple and Xinli Pool have been figured out. The next step can be to build the same temple temple and Xinli Pool, and even the composition of the Xinli Pool array has been completed. Successfully obtained, there are a total of forty-nine sub-formation disks, including a core formation disk, the eye of the formation, eight directional formation disks, pointing in all directions, thirty-six storage formation disks, used to store faith, and a void to transmit faith. There is a formation disk, a formation disk that isolates induction and does not attribute credit to individuals, and there is also a formation disk with an unknown purpose."
Wu Sheng asked: "Can it be refined?"
Mo Zhai said: "Thirty-six storage array disks are similar to storage magic weapons. They use array disks to achieve magical effects. The creativity is excellent and unexpected. But now that we have figured this out, we can refine it. It’s not a difficult task. The eight directional array disks are easy to solve, and they have the same effect as the Soul Flag’s collection, so it’s also not a problem.”
Wu Sheng understood: "So, the difficulty is that the remaining four sub-formation disks are the formation eye, the void teleportation, the elimination of faith induction, and the one whose purpose is unknown. What are your regulations?"
Mo Zhai and Pan Shi looked at Ziyu at the same time, and Ziyu said: "Seventeen temples like this have been built in the immortal world."
Wu Sheng's expression changed: "You want to steal it?"
Ziyu said: "Take it without telling you."
Wu Sheng asked: "Who are you going to let go?"
Ziyu said: "Wei floats and sinks."
Wu Sheng was very hesitant: "The world of immortals is a strong one, and the ups and downs of Wei have not yet come together."
Ziyu said: "It is precisely because there is no Hedao that it is not noticeable. The most important thing is not to sue if you take it without suing. As long as no one knows about it, the hope of success is great."
Wu Sheng asked again: "If we take it back, how likely is it to be copied? How long will it take?"
Mo Zhai said: "With the methods of Master Pan and I, as long as we have the finished product in hand, we can be 30% sure of imitating it."
Thirty percent is already very high, but Wu Sheng is not satisfied. This is very risky. Although it is taken from the Immortal World without telling anyone, Wu Sheng can imagine that once the Xuanyuan family learns that the magic circle is missing, they will be the primary target of suspicion. Mostly it is myself. After the array plate was imitated and popularized in the Spring and Autumn Period, Xuanyuan's suspicions would be confirmed.
A blatant, organized and premeditated theft of the most valuable treasure from the world of gods and immortals, with unimaginable consequences.
What's more, the possibility of successful imitation is only 30%.
"Thirty percent..." Wu Sheng pondered.
Mo Zhai explained: "After obtaining the finished product, in addition to dismantling the structure of the array plate and tracing the engraved runes, it is more important to compare the refining materials. The structure and runes of the array plate can be seen at a glance, but the materials need to be extracted and compared. , is a process of reverse tempering, and this level is extremely difficult. The bachelor is a alchemist, so he naturally knows the key points. The importance of the material formula in the array is similar to the elixir recipe for alchemy. That is to say, Pan and I The master can achieve 30% if we work together, but if it were others, there would be no hope of 10%. If we can get two sets, the possibility of success may reach 40% or 50%!"
Ziyu's eyes flashed: "Thirty percent possibility is enough. The information we have found out is that the five Ten Thousand Immortals Temples in our Spring and Autumn Period absorb a large amount of trust for the Spring and Autumn Period every year. The amount of trust they manage is Gui , the five Taoist temples can receive more than 200,000 Gui a year, and one Gui can be transformed into a colorful stone. These are only temples in Guzhu, Jiujiang, Pingyu, and Bacheng, and the largest one is Pengcheng. If Linzi, How many temples are built in Yingdu and Gusu?"
Wu Sheng asked: "If only the materials of these arrays are compared, what is the possibility of success?"
Mo Zhai said: "Can the bachelor get the material formula of this plate? If so, the possibility of successful imitation is at least 70%. The structure and moire can be deduced based on the formula. Once the material formula is determined, We can try it ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times, and we can always come up with a suitable structure and moire pattern. It just takes a longer time, maybe one year, maybe three to five years, maybe ten or twenty years."
Wu Sheng made the decision: "Slow down and don't be in a hurry. Just use this method. I will find the formula for the formation disk when I have the opportunity."
As he said, Wu Sheng immediately rushed to the Immortal World. To be cautious, he specially changed his clothes and pretended to be a Taoist priest. As for his appearance, he directly changed his face by taking the Tianxiang Pill.
I once thought that Tianxiang Dan would never interact with me again, but I didn't expect that after becoming the Twelve Righteous Gods, I would still need to use it. Thinking of the past, Wu Sheng was also filled with emotion.
When entering Nantianmen, Wu Sheng dutifully lined up to enter and handed over his certificate. None of the four gatekeepers on duty at the Nantian Gate recognized Wu Sheng, and the person who logged in his name and whereabouts was replaced by the Lianxu monk who had entered the Heavenly Court as an official. He recorded the words "Spring and Autumn Period Lianxu Shenyu" and then added After adding a note about Wu Sheng's whereabouts in "The Immortal World", he returned the card to Wu Sheng and waved to let him go.
Each righteous god has his own special talisman and certificate. The signature and material are difficult to imitate, but Wu Sheng does not need to imitate. He is the righteous god himself. He just writes a certificate for himself. There is no need to forge at all. It is really good. It can no longer be truly authentic.
When entering the immortal world, another test was carried out.
At this time, the name change matter is coming to an end. A total of more than 130 Hedao and Lianxu have changed their names. Except for Yu Jing, there are no other righteous gods or world-honored people who have asked to "become the name of the venerable", so the matter has ceased. , the divine generals of the Thunder Department of Heavenly Court who were sent to supervise the affairs of the heavens have also been withdrawn. Only the monks of this generation are inspecting the Tianmen of the Immortal World, so it will be easier to pass the customs.
As soon as he landed in Dongyue, Wu Sheng encountered a big battle, a battle between the Shandong government troops and the local iron ore miners. In this battle, the iron miners were victorious, and the government troops were littered with corpses. Wu Sheng happened to be among them. Yes, he quickly unfolded the nine-turn soul-suppressing flag to collect the living souls.
Halfway through the collection, the soul flag already accommodated tens of thousands of living souls, making it seem overcrowded. There were still thousands of souls floating in the wild. They had no chance of being included in the Nine-turn Soul Suppressing Banner, and they would soon perish in the world.
Just when it was a pity, Wu Sheng's heart moved and he glanced at the hilltop not far away. Three miserable screams suddenly came from the hilltop. Immediately, three figures appeared, kneeling on the top of the mountain and shivering: "Greetings, senior."
"Senior, we are not the ones peeping, but we have been here before..."
"Senior, forgive me... We are here to refining the soul flag for Brother Taichang. It is really a coincidence, and we are also destined to be with senior..."
It is the three ghost kings Li A, Qian Taichang and Xu Yuan.
These ghost guys are really good at hiding their aura, and even I was almost dodged by them. Wu Sheng also knew that he could not blame others. He was afraid that the three ghost kings had already taken a liking to this battlefield and were trying to steal the food from the tiger's mouth.
Although he had taken the Tianxiang Pill to change his appearance, the nine-turn soul-suppressing flag was originally from Qian Taichang. It was like a bright light in the dark night. How could he not recognize himself?
Wu Sheng hesitated for a while. He still admired these three guys very much. They were loyal enough. It was a pity to deal with them like this, otherwise he would have taken action last time.
He glanced at them for a few times, and just when he was about to make up his mind, Qian Taichang suddenly said: "Senior, I have something to ask of you. I wonder if I can agree to it?"
Wu Sheng said calmly: "Tell me and listen."
Qian Taichang said: "Practice is not easy. We, the three ghosts, came from a humble background. Although we have great talents, we have been trapped in practicing for hundreds of years and cannot make any progress. We have to worship a great god. This is how we got the opportunity to join the Tao at the same time." . But because of this opportunity, our master also died and became a lonely ghost with no family or sect. We know very well that if there is an expert to guide the way, a few words of advice can lead to a hundred years of hard work. . I meet my senior again today. Isn’t it possible that I have a destiny with my senior? If my senior will not abandon me and please record it in the door wall, our brothers will have a master to rely on, and the path of cultivation will be much more reliable."
Wu Sheng said: "Is that great god you are talking about Jiao Shan?"
Qian Taichang said: "It turns out that senior knows... Laojun executed for the Xuanyuan clan, and we are not traitors. Because of Laojun, Emperor Fengdu does not trust us, and we are in a difficult situation... Senior, don't worry, we are willing to commit suicide." I swear in my heart that I will never betray the Lord!”
Wu Sheng pondered for a moment and then asked: "You guys who stole the world's spiritual eye jade from Yong City have long been banned from traveling in the heavens. How did you end up in this immortal world?"
Qian Taichang said: "Senior, to be honest, it's simple, it's just a thick bribe."
Wu Sheng was very curious: "Who bribed you?"
In this regard, Qian Taichang's answer also surprised him: "The general manager of Lingxiao Palace, Li Shaojun."
