Part One: Such is My Name 948. Pretentiousness and insidiousness have been around for a long time, and one chooses an opportunity to reveal his hideous appearance.
Aisen and Bapu Nada had already dealt with each other, and in a very common way in the world. Through people like Bill, Eisen controls and drives mutant creatures in the world for his own use, such as the garbage gang of the wolf demon Wolf. "Mutated creatures" is what they call demon cultivators.
I think that when Bapu Nada appeared, Aisen noticed this person and once suspected that he was a mutant creature. He sent his men to secretly contact him, but found that this person was just an Indian magician who cheated money and sex. Eisen was not interested in people like this at first, but then he discovered something unusual about Bapu Nada. This person purchased some very special items through the underground black market, and ordinary people would never use those items. , such as the divine stone.
So Aisen began to test Bapu Nada again. The mutated creatures here may not all be willing to be controlled and driven by Eisen, and there are also rebellious ones who cannot be subdued. If such a mutated creature is discovered by Aisen's people, they will either take a desperate risk and give it a try, or run away far away from Aisen's control.
To deal with this mutated creature, Aisen used another method. He sent his monsters to pretend to help and get close to them, and then "kindly" revealed to them a piece of news: the Indian spiritual master Bapu Nada can guide the path of mutant creatures, and the practice organization he established is a paradise for mutant creatures. .
" Similar to what Cheng Tianle encountered in the human world, those monsters hiding in the mortal world are most afraid of having their identities revealed, and what they desire most is to receive spiritual guidance. Many mutated creatures came to Bapu Nada and asked for his advice, and Bapu Nada readily accepted it.
This surprised Aisen. How did Bapu Nada deal with those powerful mutant creatures? Unless Bapu Nada can display powerful and incredible magical means, there must be someone else behind it. After those mutated creatures join Bapu Nada's practice organization, they will disappear without a trace soon and will not attract anyone's attention.
The figure behind Bapu Nada is actually the dark creature who has been hunted by the Holy See for hundreds of years. Her surname is Crete, the former Crete envoy in the Holy See. She controls Bapu Nada to continuously gather believers and "reveal" them according to a specific ritual, thereby absorbing their vitality in order to pursue what she calls eternal life.
Those powerful mutated creatures, whose original bodies are strong and long-lived, and whose vitality is much stronger than ordinary people, are of course a "big tonic" sacrifice for Crete. Poor those demon cultivators who were lucky enough to unlock spiritual wisdom and transcend their own species, and had the opportunity of creation between heaven and earth, but in their ignorance they fell into the trap of Aisen and Bapnada unknowingly.
When those mutated creatures realize that something is wrong and realize that they have fallen into a trap and their vitality is constantly passing away, they will of course rise up to resist, and then they will be killed by Crete, destroying them and directly devouring their vitality. .
Everyone has self-awareness, and it is not easy to absorb their vitality. If it is swallowed by force, its effect will be greatly reduced, and it may even suffer from the backlash of various resentful auras. It will take a lot of effort to refine it, so that the effect will be very little. The more powerful a creature is, the more vigorous its vitality will be, but its self-awareness will also be stronger, and the harder it will be to directly devour its vitality.
¡°If he is a highly accomplished monk with a harmonious combination of mind, body, spirit and energy, with a firm will and no flaws, even if Crete can kill the opponent, he may not be able to forcibly devour the opponent¡¯s vitality. And unknowingly, it is the easiest and most effective way to let people completely voluntarily dedicate the power of life through a certain ceremony and gradually absorb it in a relatively slow process.
That¡¯s why Crete needs to use people like Bapu Nada to continuously attract believers, who are willing to become her sacrifices in a situation that is almost collective unconsciousness. Another advantage of doing this is that her existence can not be exposed, and no one can trace her back. Crete was, after all, a dark creature hunted by the Holy See. Although the Holy See seemed to have forgotten her in recent decades, the reason was simply because she never appeared again, so she did not want to expose her traces and attract attention.
When Bapu Nada returned to the United States from India and led a group of followers to establish his spiritual organization, he was controlled by Crete. Bapnada was scared at first, but he had no room for resistance in front of Crete. Later, he gradually got used to it, and even felt ecstatic, and he was happy with it all.
Because Crete gave a magician like Bapnada what he wanted most¡ªa miracle!
When Bapnada followed Crete's instructions and used special rituals at specific locations, he could display the various miracles he claimed. Crete tells him that this is the power she gave him. From then on, Bapu Nada no longer had to use Indian magic tricks such as snake charming to pretend to be gods and ghosts. Believers continued to gather around him, allowing him to enjoy a dreamlike life.
There are many incredible and even cruel things that Bapu Nada claims are miracles. For example, Bapu Nada told the believers in the manor that there were deadly poisonous snakes in the woods outside, but the people in the manor were blessed by Lord Shiva. Even if there were no walls, the poisonous snakes would not enter the scope of people's activities. This is Lord Shiva protecting this place and blocking evil from the outside world. But if anyone betrays Lord Shiva, he will be punished.
What does this mean? If someone tries to sneak away without taking the main entrance, he will be attacked by a venomous snake and die. This has happened before. Someone had accused Bapu Nada of murder because of this, but the lawyer asked the prosecution in court whether it could prove that those wild venomous snakes accepted Bapu Nada's orders.
This was something that the prosecution could not prove, and witnesses who were called to court even told the judge that it was a miracle. If it can be proved that those venomous snakes obey Bapu Nada's orders, usually dormant in the woods, and do not harm the believers in the manor, but will attack those who betray Lord Shiva, then Bapu Nada can be convicted, but it is also It is equivalent to the court admitting the existence of such a miracle.
Therefore, the case was not pronounced in the end, and was settled in the end, without any public reports. But Eisen, who had been secretly observing, discovered the details of Bapu Nada, thought of some terrible consequences, and then became more and more certain about this possible surname.
Although Eisen did not know the existence of Crete, after a long period of secret observation, he knew that all the mutated creatures were missing, and that everyone who had stayed in the manor had some common and imperceptible changes. . The conclusion is that there is a dark creature manipulating Bapu Nada. The method is so clever and invisible. I am afraid it can only be the person who was hunted by the Holy See a hundred years ago. I heard that this person has been in North America.
But Aisen did not alarm anyone. He pretended to be completely unaware on the surface, and no one could see any flaws. He also dealt with Bapu Nada in a "normal" way. Bapu Nada is a spiritual master who will also appear at private parties organized by some celebrities and rich people, playing the role of a seat keeper. This is a social activity that this kind of people often participate in.
At a charity dinner, Aisen had a conversation with Bapu Nada and donated a large sum of money to Bapu Nada's spiritual organization through the charity fund in his name. Master Bapu Nada expressed his deep gratitude and claimed that Aisen would be blessed by Lord Shiva from now on. Eisen's public identity in the secular world is not only a financier but also a philanthropist. He has his own charitable foundation and donates a large amount of charity every year, and many of the donations go this way.
The secret move that Eisen had been ambushing for so long has finally come into play. Although the development of things is a little different from his original plan, it can still realize his ambitions and wishes. Eisen knew that he could not control people like Crete, but he also knew that as long as Crete was exposed, he would never be an opponent of the entire Holy See. This matter could also be used by him to achieve his goals.
After discovering that Cheng Tianle appeared near the manor, Eisen immediately conveyed a message to Bapu Nada secretly through a black market merchant who was engaged in special item trading: an Eastern monk named Cheng Tianle had arrived on the Trorado Plateau. are snooping around his estate and trying to do something against him. This man is extremely dangerous and difficult to deal with. He has conquered and destroyed many mutant creatures since coming to North America.
The person who conveyed the news did not know that the person behind the incident was Eisen, let alone what happened to Crete. The message did not mention Crete's name. But as long as Bapu Nada receives the news, it means Crete knows it. Cheng Tianle's activities near the manor were like dying. The next thing Aisen has to do is to decide when to notify Aftena.
¡¡
That night, Cheng Tianle and Xiao Shao still sat high up in the sky overlooking the deep canyon. The clouds had not dispersed. There were still several days until the full moon, and they found no trace of Shen Yinpo. Cheng Tianle still looked at the manor in the distance from time to time. The manor in the night was particularly quiet, different from usual, and there was not even a light.
At sunrise, we still didn¡¯t see the residents there coming out of their houses to hold daily rituals. The quiet manor seemed so strange, as if everyone had disappeared overnight. Xiao Shao said: "Sha Le, if I advise you not to go there, I'm afraid you won't listen."
Cheng Tianle smiled stupidly and replied: "Xiao Shao, you know me best. Something is wrong. There is no way I can't go over and figure it out. But let's not involve Tao Taoyou and Si Bao, and don't let them know about it for the time being. , the opponent we encounter this time may be very troublesome.¡±
Xiao Shao: "We must also be careful." (To be continued.)
