Xianlu

Chapter 402
Xu Dao returned to the black ship with a pile of books.

Wu Bixi and Liang Xia, who stayed behind on the boat, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him come back.It's just that the two of them noticed that Xu Dao's face was not very good, and they both shrank in their hearts, and their behavior became more cautious, for fear of offending Xu Dao.

Xu Dao boarded the black boat and asked a few words: "Is there a murloc or someone else coming to check on the situation?"

Wu Bixi and Liang Xia hurriedly replied: "Yes. But the disciple kept the Taoist priest's words in mind, and only said to deal with it after the Taoist priest came back."

"Very good." Xu Dao nodded, "Wait, if someone comes again, you can report."

After finishing speaking, he was about to go to the top cabin, but his footsteps paused, and he suddenly threw a few books out of his sleeve.

"The two of you have fallen into the West Sea and have not yet contacted the outside world. These are a few books that are related to the customs and customs of the West Sea. Let's read some, so as not to leak the details in front of outsiders and cause trouble."

These few volumes of Xu Dao had already been read on the way, and they were memorized in his mind, so there is no harm in giving them to the two of them now.

The two of Wu Liang saw a few books, and their eyes were full of surprises. Although the two of them didn't get off the boat, they were actually very interested in the situation on Yuren Island.

Now that Xu Dao sent the book to the two of them, it really made them happy, and they immediately cupped their hands and said, "Thank you, Daoist, for letting the Taoist bother you."

Xu Dao nodded, and then pointed to a few books: "The environment in the West Sea is weird, and these few books alone cost more than a thousand dollars. There are few books on exercises here, and the two of you are orthodox disciples of the Taoist Palace. I should have learned a lot of spells on weekdays, remember to put them away in the future."

These words surprised Wu Liang and the others, and they were a little confused.But Xu Dao had already mentioned the two of them, so he stopped explaining, turned around and walked to the upper cabin.

"Farewell to the Taoist priest!" Wu Liang and the two of them had no time to think about it, and hurriedly saluted.

When he got back to the cabin, Xu Dao sat down cross-legged, collected his mind, and left all the knowledge on the island behind.He was leaning on a bed, flipping through the books quietly, nibbling through the books bit by bit like a bookworm.

There was a rustling sound, and there was only the sound of flipping books in the cabin for a while.

The light in the room gradually changed from bright to dim, until finally it was covered with a layer of silver gauze.

Xu Dao looked up suddenly, and found that it was already dark outside the window, only a pale silver moon was left hanging in the sky.

Its moon is suspended above the sea, shining up and down, which is quite miraculous.He couldn't help getting up, pushed the window directly out, stood in front of the railing, and looked at the pale silver moon.

I don't know when, the mist that enveloped Shaman Island suddenly drooped down, lying on the sea surface only a few feet high, and the black ship protruded above it, as if it was driving among the clouds.

The entire Yuren Island also seemed to be an empty island, not floating on the sea, but floating in the moon sky.

Boo!A soft voice sounded, falling in the ethereal scene, clear and long, like a woman's weeping, or a baby's laughter.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Xu Dao's eyes. He looked around the surrounding sea, and immediately found a shark girl swimming out, jumped onto the reef protruding from the sea, and all sang loudly.

These reefs are dotted around the Shark Island, flickering, and with the singing of the Shark Girls, the moonlight in the sky is like a silver thread, hanging down from a distance, and landed on the Shark Girl's naked body.

Seeing this scene, Xu Dao came to his senses: "Today the fog recedes and the moon rises, which is a good time for pearl hunting on Shaman Island."

He suddenly discovered that on a rock not far from the black ship, there was a slightly familiar figure lying on his stomach. The other party was disheveled and gleaming with silver, as if bathing in moonlight.

Lili didn't know whether it was dew, sea water, or sweat falling on her body, rolling like silver beans.

This shark girl is exactly the little shark girl who seduced Xu Dao with her mother during the day.While the other party was singing mellowly, he also stared at Xu Dao from a distance, with mellow lust in his eyes, foggy, and lightly articulate, as if weeping, as if he was telling the feelings that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.

But Xu Dao looked at it, just found it interesting, and didn't feel that the other party was attracted by him.After all, he didn't even succeed in whoring, how could he fascinate the banshee to such an extent!

It's just that the shark girls are drawing their own blood, swallowing the moonlight, just like a Taoist collecting the emperor's slurry, and trying to absorb the inspiration from the world, mixing them into one, and condensing the tears of the shark.

This bead is a very clever pill, which has the effect of improving morality, improving eyesight and detoxifying. It is the most famous special product on Shaman Island besides Shark Girl.

It is rumored that the best spiritual plants have the effect of assisting Taoists to break through the realm, and they are hard to find.

But Xu Dao looked around and remembered what he had just seen from the booklet, and his heart moved: "The condensation of shark beads requires not only moonlight, but also spiritual energy. But the spiritual energy on Shark Island is thin, and there is even more evil spirit in the sea." The moment is surging, and there is nothing else on these shark girls, how to collect spiritual energy?"

The Mermaid Weeping Bead must have nothing on her body, so that it fits close to the sky, the earth and the moonlight, especially not to be damaged by magical objects or other objects, otherwise the spirit bead will be difficult to get off, and she can only wait until the next moonrise.

The next moment, Xu Dao knew where their "spiritual energy" came from.

Sitting on the reef, the shark girls suddenly stretched out their hands and hooked them into the water, like pulling vegetables, and with a single hook, they pulled out a head from the sea water.

There are mortals hidden under the water around the reef, a mass of black, with tangled hair, like planted aquatic plants.After a human head came out of the water, the surrounding sea water quickly turned bright red.

The heads that were taken out were not completely dead, their faces were miserable, and their eyeballs were moving, which was terrifying.

And the shark girls held the head in both hands, their eyes were sad, and the mist in their eyes was full of mist. They opened their red lips and moved close to the head in their hands, rubbing their ears and temples.

Blood water slid down their collarbones and chests, making them extremely bright red.

The delicate faces of the shark girls were also stained with blood, giving off a somewhat poignant feeling, making one feel as if young women were crying for their lovers and sisters.

But such a scene fell into Xu Dao's eyes, but the heads were knocked open, and the souls in them were swallowed into their mouths before they died, and only a few light spots escaped during the breath.

Most of the light spots are mixed with the moonlight falling on the shark girls, fused with each other, and slowly formed genuine silver beans, which fell out of the shark girls' pupils.

Seeing this scene, Xu Dao was dazed. He suddenly thought of something, and quickly took out a book from his sleeve.

Crash!The pages of the book flipped quickly, and soon settled on the page he was looking for:
"The spirit of the heavens and the earth are bad, and people with Taoism seek the ancient times, learn the laws of the gods of the ancient heavens and earth, burn incense and continue, and the Taoism will continue."

It is not surprising that this brief sentence is included in a random section of the book. There are only a few sentences, but there is not much to see.

But Xu Dao was curious about the Taoist environment in Xihai, and because of the inner world, he paid a lot of attention to the word "incense", so he wrote down this sentence.

Now seeing the way the shark girls produce the spirit beads, the inspiration they use is actually harvested from human souls, which immediately gave him more thoughts.

The shark girls on the sea are still weeping, the scene is quite beautiful and poignant, not only Xu Dao is watching, but also Wu Bixi and Liang Xia.

Only the boatmen on board hid in every corner of the boat, all trembling, not daring to watch the magnificent scene on the sea.

Xu Dao didn't look at the night scene anymore, he turned out all the books in his sleeves, suspended them up and down in all directions, exerted his mana, and suddenly there was a gust of wind, the pages of the books flipped rapidly.

Soon, one sentence after another was hooked out by his magic power: "In the past, the gods ate incense and fire, but they actually devoured people's souls."

"The four seas are overturned, the water veins are polluted, the few islands have spirits, and they are overwhelmed by the burden. Only one can survive... All wise people are alive. Their souls are born with spiritual energy. They are less polluted by the earth's air and water, and they can eat it. "

"Livestock and beasts rarely have souls; those with wet and slippery scales also have souls; only human beings are born with spirits, and they do not need to be cultivated to have souls."

"The meat-eaters are fierce and fierce, and the soul-eaters are gods and monsters!"

All kinds of sentences appeared in Xu Dao's mind, and some of the chapters revealed even more naked things. Inside and outside the words, all of them were written with two big words: cannibalism.

Xu Dao muttered to himself: "So it is, so it is."

This West Sea, not only the sea area where he is located has been eroded by evil spirits, dripping with evil spirits, but the entire West Sea, and even the entire four seas.

The spiritual veins in the sea were also charged by the nameless evil energy, and they were all unusable. Even Taoists at the level of Jindan and Yuanying dared not practice directly in the sea, otherwise it would only be a blink of an eye to go crazy.

In the mountain and sea world thousands of years ago, the aura of heaven and earth was already thinning and declining. Once this situation happened, it would immediately kill the Taoists.

What's worse is that the Taoists still have reason and can resist not to draw spiritual energy from the spiritual veins in the sea to use, but the birds and beasts don't have this concern.

As a result, all the monsters in the sea went berserk after swallowing their aura, they could not give birth to any wisdom, and they all turned into fierce beasts.

As a result, not only did the number of monsters in the sea not decrease, but because they lost their wisdom, they all became extremely fierce and did not know how to advance or retreat, and their combat power suddenly became much stronger than before.

Whether it is a human cultivator or a demon cultivator, in the face of such a situation, they are retreating steadily, and can only retreat to the only remaining island in the West Sea.

Because the spiritual veins of the islands in various places are directly connected to the earth's crust and not connected to the sea water, the spiritual energy is only shrinking day by day and dissipating into the sea without being polluted by the sea.

It is recorded in several books that the Taoists at that time screamed that "the age of the end of the Dharma" had come, and all of them were mourned, or died in a powerful battle, or died together, or were not evil, swallowed the spiritual energy in the sea and fell into evil spirits .

The Dao veins that have survived since the Tang Dynasty have been severed again; all kinds of strange creatures on the sea have also continued to fall into viciousness and lose their wisdom.

Just like the rumored Dharma-ending Era, spiritual energy is exhausted and Taoism collapses.

Finally, the Taoist priests dug out the word "incense" from the pile of old papers, and like Xu Dao, they knew that the essence of the soul is aura.

So there was a line of cannibalistic words that Xu Dao had just seen.

One by one, the living people have become a steady stream of aura minerals for the people of Xikaido.

In today's West Sea, pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth has long been a rarity. There are only [-] spiritual veins in the entire West Sea, which are distributed among the [-] islands.

Among them, 36 islands are occupied by Venerable Jindan, and 72 are occupied by Taoist priests of refining gangs.

Moreover, the spiritual veins in the [-] islands are so small that they are shrinking day by day.Take Shaman Island as an example, the concentration of its aura has dropped to the same level as Xu Dao's Bone View Cave Mansion, and it is on the verge of extinction.

No matter whether the Taoists of Xihai want it or not, they can no longer rely on swallowing the pure aura of heaven and earth to do work, but can only rely on the essence of the sun and the moon, and squeeze the aura from the souls of humans and the flesh and blood of beasts.

Among them, Sun Jing and Yue Hua barely survived starvation, but if they want to improve their cultivation, practice spells, and refine magic weapons without becoming the blood food of others, the Taoists can only ask for the latter.

Moreover, compared with the aura squeezed out of the souls of living people, the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts are often not suitable for cultivation and are used for other purposes because they have already been polluted by evil spirits.

Xu Dao raised his eyes from the pile of papers in front of him, and once again looked at the beautiful picture of the bright moon on the sea and the weeping bead of the shark girl.

In the scene in front of me, it was the female sharks who were chewing the living soul, forcibly grinding it into powder, turning it into incense, and refining it into spirit beads, which were used as the best elixir.

Suddenly, Xu Dao flipped his hand, and a scarlet talisman appeared in front of him, buzzing and trembling.

In today's Xihai, there is no longer the division of third-class talisman money, only one kind remains, which is the scarlet talisman money he holds in his hand.

"No wonder this money is scarlet, and it is also called 'blood money'. I thought it was just a different refining method, soaked in the blood that the Taoists fought for it."

But its essence is much darker than Xu Dao imagined.

Every piece of blood money is at least refined by squeezing the soul of a mortal and mixing some of the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts.

Among them, the better the quality of the blood money, the less the blood and flesh of the beast will be mixed, and the more soul and aura will be used.The best quality is undoubtedly the blood money refined from the soul of a Taoist and the flesh and blood of a Taoist.

It is precisely because of this that ordinary people and Taoists in the West Sea are divided into "vegetable people" and "animal people".

Moreover, the West Sea is divided up and down, and the skills of refining blood money are not mastered by everyone.

Take Taoist Lai as an example, the other party only knows how to spend money, but has no idea of ​​the real origin of blood money.Otherwise, this guy will definitely shout that it's a loss, that he doesn't know that a mortal soul can make a penny!
With this in mind, Xu Dao looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.The moonlight was bright and soft, but he felt as if he was being watched by a terrifying giant, and he felt chills through his bones.

I thought Xihai was more cruel than cruel, at most there are more monsters than Wu, and Dao Fan is more divided than Wu.

But who would have thought that the cultivation system of the entire West Sea, and even the entire mountain and sea world, is already built on the basis of extracting souls to refine money.

In such a world, instead of using living people as fish and meat, fish and meat are living people.
