Taoist Beast's head was cut off, and the blood spurted from his neck rushed into the air, and finally fell into Xu Sui's hands.
As he separated from the Patriarch's Tower that day, the scenery Xu Sui briefly climbed up to take a look at quickly disappeared from his eyes, and he also understood the principle of biting off more than he could chew.
Therefore, when faced with the thirty-six sword intentions, he chose to dabble a little while choosing one of the sword intentions to study deeply.
In the end, Xu Sui chose the Moment Sword Intention among the thirty-six Sword Intentions, and studied it in depth to achieve today's results.
The Zhengdao sect doesn't teach soul searching, but there are many ways to get started with it.
For example, from the legacy of the Skeleton Scholar.
This was the first time that Xu Sui used soul searching methods. The method was naturally not very sophisticated, and the information obtained by searching for souls at a low level and a high level was incomplete, but he still understood the purpose of the other party's trip.
It turns out that five hundred years ago, the former royal family of Xiaoshui Kingdom obtained some kind of secret treasure.
In order to unlock the seal on the secret treasure, while the royal family of the previous dynasty carried out large-scale construction projects, they also sacrificed mortals to open the seal with their blood.
Such an unruly king naturally led to wild grass all over the country in Xiaoshui. Originally, all the grassy soldiers entered Fanyang City, but when they were about to win, they were killed by the former emperor who had gained some power from the secret treasure.
Just when everyone was desperate, the ancestors of the Xie family stabbed the previous emperor in the back, killed the emperor in the street, and succeeded to the throne.
Afterwards, he swore an oath to the Changhe River to distribute enfeoffments to the Cao Mang people. As for his subsequent violation of the agreement and the slaughter of the kings, that is another story.
The key to this story lies in the mysterious treasure. Before the death of the former emperor, he thanked his family for not being cheap.
He sealed the secret treasure in a special space, which could only be opened when the fortunes of the dynasty declined and a large number of mortal souls were sacrificed.
At that time, only the ancestor of the Xie family knew this secret, and he also considered taking out the secret treasure.
However, the situation at that time was not optimistic. The Oath of the Long River was just an excuse to appease many reckless people. If he followed the example of the previous dynasty, he would definitely give those reckless people an excuse to raise troops again.
However, with the execution of all Cao Mang, Xiaoshui Kingdom also recovered from the chaos.
At that time, everything was full of vitality. Wherever Master Wang went, the people wholeheartedly welcomed him, which made the Xie family ancestors reluctant to part with this good fortune.
At the same time, he also understood the truth that a man is not guilty but harbors a jade, and he was afraid of repeating the mistakes of the previous dynasty.
Therefore, the secret treasure is regarded as a kind of trump card of the Xie family. If the time comes when the mountains and rivers are really broken, blood sacrifices will be made to the people to take it out.
It's a pity that the Xie family ancestors definitely didn't calculate it.
Five hundred years later, before the Xie family had time to use this trump card, they were subdued.
"Lao Deng, is this your first time searching for souls?"
Bai Feng looked at the soul that didn't even have any dregs left. The result would be that the person searching for the soul was ruthless and gave the other party the most painful death.
Or he was just a pure novice, who was so powerful that the soul was crushed to pieces by flying bricks.
It's a pity that the soul of a monk in the alchemy stage was wrapped in a coat and deep-fried in a pan. I think it was a delicacy in the world.
"That's right."
"That's what the little boy is like. He has no skills at all and just knows how to do it randomly."
Although they were talking about soul searching, Bai Feng's words inevitably made Xu Sui's veins bulge.
If there were no outsiders here, Xu Sui would like to discuss whether there is reproductive isolation between humans and ancient mythical beasts.
"Don't be discouraged. The first time is usually fast. I even left a tiger whip for you to make up for it."
Bai Feng pointed at the tiger corpse not far away. Previously, due to the desperate blow from the Beast Taoist, many of its spiritual pets died suddenly on the spot.
Naturally, the tiger at the stage of pill formation was not spared. At this time, its body was in tatters, and the parts full of energy and blood should have entered Bai Feng's belly.
As for the tiger whip?
Xu Sui thought it was just Bai Feng who was too lazy to speak.
At this time, Xu Sui was of course not old enough to eat tiger whip, but he was still part of the demonic beast in the elixir-forming stage. With the idea that it might be useful in the future, he still kept it away.
Finally, he set his sights on Yingxiao me.
"Brother Ying, we are really destined."
Even though I already knew that Ying Xiao and I were going to Fanyang City to take the imperial examination and would meet again one day, this day still came too early.
Coupled with the combat power that Yingxiao showed before, it is obviously already better than the ordinary monks in the late stage of foundation building.
This also makes it difficult for the other party to come to a small country like Xiaoshui Country to "practice".
"Brother Xu, you really don't recognize people when you put on your pants. Little brother, I helped you contain the tiger demon for so long. It's hard work without any credit."
Ying laughed at my disgraced appearance at this time, although I was a little embarrassed, but not too injured, and then explained some of my previous experiences.
Originally, he planned to continue dealing with him all night in the ruined temple.
But the ruined temple had been in disrepair for a long time, and after a lot of trouble from the old man Baigui, it finally collapsed when I was sleeping.
Fortunately, the rain had stopped by then, so he continued on his way towards Fanyang City.
He did not use the monk's method to fly in the air, but walked step by step, so he discovered some things on the road that Xu Sui had not paid attention to.
It seems that people from the Beast Control Sect are not the only ones collecting souls.
At least there is still a group of people collecting mortal souls, and Old Man Baigui seems to belong to another force.
"Is there another wave of people?"
This is not good news. In Xu Sui's view, no matter whether this force is on the stage or not, it is the powerless mortals who will suffer in the end.
By the way, the secrets of the Xiaoshui royal family may not be managed by MI6.
All the secrets have been revealed.
"Brother Ying, if I remember correctly, you came to Xiaoshui Country to be an official, right?"
"Practice, practice, and don't speak so vulgarly."
"I have a high-ranking official here for you, so I don't know if you are interested."
Xu Sui stopped Ying Xiaowo who was about to leave. Although the origin of the other party was a bit complicated, the situation was getting more complicated now and he didn't want to let such a person lurk underwater.
It is reassuring to get it involved early and arrange it under your nose.
"I'm not being modest. Brother Xu, you'd better hire someone else."
In fact, from the brief contact before, Ying Xiao and I discovered that Xie Yushu was a member of the royal family.
Now that Xu Sui was looking for him to do something, and he was offering high-ranking officials and generous salaries, there was probably no other possibility besides rebellion.
He came for the imperial examination, not to learn how to bark like a fox. Rebellion should be left to the professional team.
"Isn't what Confucianism emphasizes when entering the world is cultivating one's moral integrity, managing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world? Brother, I will give you a step-by-step guide."
"You see, ordinary people are suffering so much. When you finish the imperial examination, you won't even be able to have a bite of hot food at the banquet."
"Brother Ying, do big things, do big things."
Xu Sui's words hovered in his ears like a devil's whisper.
With Bai Feng beside me, I couldn't walk or fight. My mind was filled with the words "do big things".
Yingxiao, I finally agreed.
Anyway, the Xie family can no longer sit on the throne. Instead of being a remnant of the previous dynasty, it is better to be a founding hero.
