Xie Xiaoyu didn¡¯t like this feeling very much. He felt like he was being buried alive.
"Be careful, there are some barbarian underground drillers ahead. These guys are very troublesome." Mazi's warning sound came from the transmission talisman.
Xie Xiaoyu immediately held his breath.
At the same time, he also felt that his speed had slowed down.
The underground soldiers are also proficient in earth escape. If Mazi was alone, he wouldn't care about these guys. He couldn't bring Xie Xiaoyu with him, so he could only avoid them from a distance.
Mazi is very deep, more than a hundred feet above the ground. Those underground soldiers only patrol up and down the ten feet, so it is not difficult to avoid them.
Being cautious along the way, the two people slid silently deep underground.
I don¡¯t know how long it took, but Xie Xiaoyu finally felt that the pockmarks started to rise toward the ground, indicating that he was about to go out.
He was happy to be on the ground again. It felt terrible to be surrounded by dirt.
Half an hour later, two people emerged from the soil one after the other.
Also appearing together were twelve sea bowl-sized spiders with bristles all over their bodies.
These earth spiders are still larvae and not very powerful, but twelve of them worked together, and the effect was pretty good, saving Mazi a lot of effort.
As soon as he came out of the soil, Xie Xiaoyu used the method of observing the sky and the earth to look around.
??This place is hidden deep in the heart of the mountain, and there is a spiritual vein on the edge, and the spiritual energy is quite strong.
But he didn¡¯t come here to find a hole.
Xie Xiaoyu took out the compass and the machine string from the storage bag and started to work.
Setting up a formation is not an easy task. It took him an afternoon to set up all thirty-six formation flags in the Valley of Lost Souls, and the area was still flat.
This is a cave. If you want to spread out all the formation flags, you have to dig some caves. This is what he did in the mine.
This is definitely a big project, no wonder Mazi refuses to work alone.
Fortunately, he brought out twelve "miners" who were used to digging holes. These earth spiders were not good at doing other things, but they were excellent at digging holes.
After surveying the entire cave and sketching the rough direction of the cave on a piece of paper, Xie Xiaoyu sighed: "It will take at least two days to set up the formation. It seems that we cannot cover every point. It¡¯s connected, pick up to twelve points.¡±
"I don't care! No matter how much time it takes, it doesn't matter, as long as I'm not the only one doing the hard work." Mazi's mentality was very calm.
They didn't know the time when they were doing this. When they were tired, they ran to one side to meditate and rest. When they were hungry, they took out the chicken breasts that had been roasted in advance and took a few bites. Because there were people nearby, they didn't have to worry about being attacked by barbarians. They meditated and rested. It's quite stable.
Seeing that more than half of the work was completed, and there were still seven or eight formation bases in place, and it was time to leave, suddenly there was a heart-stopping fluctuation from the southeast.
"What's going on? Someone is doing it?" Xie Xiaoyu asked.
"I don't know either. When I was outside, I often encountered this kind of thing. I also thought about asking some questions. Unfortunately, the barbarians were heavily guarded and couldn't sneak in." Mazi answered irresponsibly.
Xie Xiaoyu¡¯s expression became solemn. Mazi could ignore it, but he couldn¡¯t because he had too many things on his shoulders.
"Help me make a hole on the top." Xie Xiaoyu pointed to a gap above her head.
Mazi knew what he was going to do. They had done the same thing when they were blocked from Beiwang City.
It is not difficult to make a small hole, as long as Xie Xiaoyu can be stuffed in. The gap is facing the southeast and needs to be slightly expanded.
Soon Mazi finished his work. It was a very small hole, and a person couldn't even straighten his waist in it.
Xie Xiaoyu climbed in with difficulty and cursed softly: "This bastard."
He took out the Yangsui mirror from the storage bag. This time he did not take out the big one, but a small one. The main mirror was only as big as a palm, and the frame mirror was only the size of a copper coin.
After installing the mirror, he looked into the distance through the through hole behind the main mirror.
In the distance, there was a large group of barbarians gathered in a circle, kneeling and worshiping in the middle.
The center of the circle was blocked by a mountain ridge, so it was difficult to see clearly, but judging from the way the Tuman worshiped, there must be a statue of a god standing in the center."Do the Tuman have any special worship rituals? For example, offering sacrifices to heaven, earth, and ancestors?" Xie Xiaoyu frowned and asked.
"You have to ask Wu Ronghua, I don't know much about this place." Mazi couldn't help.
"Come up and have a look." Xie Xiaoyu said and got down. The hole was too small.
Mazi muttered and climbed up. He originally wanted to play a trick on Xie Xiaoyu, but he didn't expect that he would be tricked as well.
The Yangsui Mirror has already been adjusted, and there is no need to move it at all. He only needs to put his eyes in front of the through hole.
Mazi also saw the crowded scene in the distance.
"There are so many people! Let's say at least two to three million." Mazi murmured to himself: "How is this possible? Are all the barbarians in Tianbao Prefecture concentrated here? Where can they get so much food?"
"There is a peak to the west, please take me there." Xie Xiaoyu decided to get to the bottom of it.
Mazi also felt that the situation was serious and he did not dare to joke anymore.
The peak that Xie Xiaoyu pointed to is connected to this mountain, so walking along the ridge, there is no need to worry about being discovered.
After getting there, Mazi burrowed into the soil, and after a while he emerged again. He had already dug a cave for hiding.
This time he was very serious. The hole he dug could hide four or five people. There was also a gap directly in front of him, and there was a bush of shrubs outside the gap. It was definitely an extremely secret observation point.
After reinstalling the sunglass, Mazi couldn¡¯t wait to get over and take a look.
After just one glance, this guy¡¯s expression changed.
Xie Xiaoyu squeezed away the pockmarks and put her eyes in front of the through hole.
In an instant, his face turned pale.
There is indeed a statue of a god erected in the center of the valley. The god has four heads and six arms. It does not look evil in appearance. Compared with those gods and demons with six or seven heads and dozens of arms, this one is even worse. many.
"It's Brahma. The ancestor of all demons." Xie Xiaoyu's lips trembled slightly.
"I know how so many barbarians emerged. What Brahma is best at is making something out of nothing. He is also the most easy-going among the three demon ancestors. He is known to respond to requests. Those millions of barbarians should be his masterpiece. ." Mazi was analyzing on the side.
"I don't believe that there is such magical power. Even if there is, now that heaven and earth are separated, Brahma cannot break the barrier between heaven and earth and interfere in the affairs of this world." Xie Xiaoyu denied Mazi's statement. If the power of Demon Ancestor is so If it is easy to come, the Demonic Gate will not be replaced by the Buddhist Gate.
"It's not impossible. In the Demon Sect, there are a lot of spells that can transform one into ten or one into a hundred. Blood clones, naked corpse clones, flesh and bone clones These spells will split the soul and destroy it. If a clone is lost, the caster cannot re-enter reincarnation. Only these barbarians who are not afraid of life and death dare to do this." Mazi has connected all the clues before and after. He felt something was wrong before, those who attacked Wu. The barbarians in the city are not only weak in strength, but their souls are also incredibly weak.
"I also understand this. The question is, is it so easy to cultivate the blood clone?" Xie Xiaoyu looked into the distance through the sun mirror and asked coldly. He thought much more deeply than Mazi, that's why his face was so ugly. .
Mazi was stunned by the question.
None of the clone spells are simple. If you want to practice them, you must at least reach the realm of the true king.
"What about your guess?" Mazi knew that Xie Xiaoyu must have guessed something.
"The Shinto is the resurgence of the Shinto that has disappeared for thousands of years." Xie Xiaoyu subconsciously touched his cheek. He could feel that his face was cold and there was a slight sweat on his forehead.
"Shinto!" Mazi's face turned pale.
This is definitely a frightening word.
The teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, Demonism, and side sects are different, but one thing is the same, that is, the pursuit of personal liberation through cultivation, so there is the term monk.
Shinto is different, it is a completely different system. These people don't need to practice. As long as they recruit a group of good men and women, let them believe in them and chant their names all the time, they can have magical powers.
This set of things evolved from prayer and sacrifice, and rituals such as sacrifice and prayer have a long history. Since ancient times, people have offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, and to ghosts and gods. Among the three thousand avenues are the way of worship and the way of belief. There are also corresponding Dharma doors among the four gates of Buddhism, Taoism and Demon.
So Shinto is definitely not an evil way.
The problem is that Shinto requires a large number of believers, and they can only believe in me and not others at the same time.The disciples become the private property of those who practice Shinto. In addition, Shinto does not require hard training and does not require qualifications. As long as there are many believers, they will naturally have great magical powers and will naturally be favored by secular kings.
At the beginning, everyone could live in peace. Gradually, the kings who cultivated the Shinto began to merge with each other. The weak ones were swallowed up, and the strong ones became more tyrannical. In the end, only the five strongest kings were left. These five people called themselves God Emperors, and everyone We have reached a point where we are soaring, so there is no need to continue annexing.
At this time, the shortcomings of Shinto were fully exposed. The five God Emperors were able to reach that state because they were maintained by hundreds of millions of believers. Once they ascended, they would no longer be able to interfere in human affairs. Those believers would definitely convert to others. They will be knocked back to their original form immediately, so they cannot and do not dare to ascend.
Each of these five people made different choices. One person was the first to transfer to Buddhism. The other three followed the same example, but they changed to Taoism because they saw that the god emperor who transferred to Buddhism was making great progress. slow.
A hundred years later, the three God-Emperors ascended one after another, and the God-Emperor who entered Buddhism was still practicing hard.
The last God Emperor had no intention of doing this. He had a whimsical idea. He wanted to monopolize the world and build an eternal Kingdom of God on earth.
When the God-Emperor who transferred to Buddhism achieved Arhat status and soared, he finally took action
This is the origin of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth thousands of years ago.
After the catastrophe, "Shinto" was regarded as the source of disasters and became the most taboo thing in major religions. Once someone finds signs of "Shinto" resurrecting, all major religions will immediately put out all their efforts to extinguish it.
"Mazi, God knows that you know and I know about this, and we must never let a third person know about it." Xie Xiaoyu thought of the pros and cons in an instant.
"Are you worried that after the various sects find out about this, they will kill us and silence us?" Mazi asked.
"It's not to kill the two of us to silence us, but to kill all the people in Tianbao Prefecture." The result that Xie Xiaoyu thought of was far more terrifying than Mazi's guess.
"How is this possible?" Mazi didn't believe it, but he knew that Xie Xiaoyu would never make a mistake.
"Can't you guess why they attacked the city now? After these barbarians broke through the city, they killed all the men, leaving only the women and children. In the past, no one could guess what they wanted these women and children for? How to feed them? Now? You should understand." The more Xie Xiaoyu said, the fiercer his eyes became.
Of course Asako understands that with the presence of people who practice Shinto, they can easily create a land without toxins, and also make those women and children not afraid of toxins.
This is the great thing about Shinto. Those who practice Shinto must first choose a field of specialization. As long as they are in this field, they are omnipotent.
As soon as he figured this out, Mazi's expression also changed.
He knew that Xie Xiaoyu was right. If the various sects knew about this, the only possibility was to kill all the people in Tianbao Prefecture. This would make it impossible for the barbarians to replenish their population and learn the technology of Middle-earth.
This is not because of cruelty, but because there is no way to evacuate people from Tianbao Prefecture
Two giant empty boats will arrive in Linhai City every month. Each giant empty boat carries 1,500 to 2,000 people. That is three to four thousand people a month, and more than 40,000 people a year. The entire Tianbao Prefecture has There are more than sixty cities, some of which have a giant empty boat arriving at the port every month, and some of which have one every two months. In total, nearly one million people come here every year. Although people die here every day, the population is The overall situation is growing, and the growth rate is astonishing, so Huangnigang, which was Linhai City more than ten years ago, has now become part of the city. According to a rough estimate, the entire Tianbao Prefecture has a population of at least 50 to 60 million.
Carrying so many people in a huge empty boat would require tens of thousands of round trips, which is obviously impossible. It is even more impossible to use a sea ship, because even if the sea ship has smooth winds and smooth currents, it will take seven or eight years to reach Middle-earth. People need to eat and drink along the way, and let alone whether the boat can carry so much stuff, there is no place to get so much food.
After thinking about it for a long time, Mazi finally realized that this matter was really too unspeakable.
