Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 736 Tossing Pots
Lu Ye was surprised and distracted himself a little to use his spiritual sense to investigate Mo Ruyan's body, and found that what the woman said was true.

After hundreds of years of accumulation, this place is rich in spiritual energy, and the Thousand Silk Gu is a different species of Gu worm. Before, the Gu worm just instinctively did not understand the power of evolution.

With so many rich accumulations in his possession, Mo Ruyan does have hope of breaking through two levels in a row.

Lu Ye thought about it for a moment, nodded in agreement, and waved his hand to drive her out.

As long as you die, I don’t care what your cultivation level is!
So, a few days later.

In the big city, a group of people set off to fly eastward in the light of escape.

In the light of escape, a dragon turtle was seen flying in the clouds. On the flat back of the turtle was a horse monster, and on the horse monster sat a young monk in a green robe with ordinary appearance.

Behind this monk, there was a gorgeous woman in black robes holding a fan and fanning him.

There is also another tree with a crown like an umbrella, standing upright on the turtle's back, very stable.

These people were none other than Lu Ye and his four servants, Gui Ma, Mu Mo. According to the agreement with the patriarch of the Three Sages family, they were going to Bajie City to attend the Sword Finger Meeting.

Originally, Mo Ruyan was not going, but the three demons suggested it to Lu Ye.

It doesn't seem appropriate for such a large monk to have no maids and only three of us male demon servants.

Lu Ye accepted the suggestion, and asked Mo Ruyan, who was still in seclusion practicing, to go on the journey together.

The master and four servants rode on the light of escape in the air and headed straight for Bajie City...

After going through many ups and downs, Mo Ruyan knew that she was destined to die under Lu Ye's gaze, so she simply let go and was neither humble nor arrogant.

Although he did exactly as Lu Ye was told, his expression no longer had the worldly air he had before, which made the three demon servants even more uncomfortable.

We are all slaves.

You are destined to be a dead slave, why are you so arrogant?
Unfortunately, right under Lu Ye's noses, the three demon servants were unable to use any of their tricks to play pranks on people, and they were just getting angry every day.

Lu Ye led his four servants. Since they had set out early, they were able to travel along the way and were not in a hurry.

The three servants got the chance to get close to their new master, so they naturally became more fawning.

Lu Ye had searched their souls before, but he was only searching for key information. As he got to know them slowly over the past few days, he was able to learn a lot of information about the demon race from the three demons.

For example, the Wan Qian Bai San demon fairies, Wan Shou Tang Ping Bai Lu Ao, all have little interest in conquering the human race; only the old demon fairy Qian Fu is very eager to attack the human race, and she is a hard-line faction among the demons.

Also.

The demon race has ruled for tens of thousands of years, and has also revealed many drawbacks. For example, the common feature of all races is that they can transform into humans and speak the demon language. This innate magical power is innate.

Apart from this, the various races have nothing in common.

You let the grass monster, the sheep monster and the tiger monster get together.

Sheep eat grass and tigers eat sheep. How can the three of them coexist peacefully? They are born to be incompatible with each other, not to mention that some wood monsters are very ferocious and become carnivores after they become enlightened.

The five continents are very vast, with various demon tribes distributed on them. Originally, there are many races within the demon tribe, more than a thousand.

They worked together when fighting the demons, but after unifying the world, they became scattered and disorganized, making it extremely difficult to form a combined force.

The demon tribe occupied various hilltops and became kings. They only obeyed the strong demons they saw and frequently fought and fought among themselves.

If there weren't an immortal appearing from time to time and a top cultivator suppressing the fortune of the entire clan, the demon clan would be afraid that they would fall apart and fight each other.

At present, when fighting with humans, only a few major races contribute, and it is entirely determined by the preferences of the clan leaders.

If the patriarch suddenly decides not to fight, withdraw the troops immediately.

Throughout history, the human race has grown from weak to strong, and even though there was a plan by the Fire Bearer to set the whole country on fire, there were actually several times when the human race faced the crisis of extinction.

The violent wind was about to extinguish the flames.

Unexpectedly, the demon clan's internal strife problem broke out again, and a gap would appear inexplicably in the extremely tight encirclement many times, allowing the human race to escape and make a comeback.

After several times, the human race became powerful and unstoppable.

But even so, the demon clan could not unite.

Perhaps, only when the demons reappear or humans send a large army to destroy them all, will the scene of all the demons being united appear.

Lu Ye listened with great interest.

Compared with the human race, where weapons are put into storage and there is peace and prosperity, the demon race's internal strife and unwillingness to help each other is even more fatal.

Pity.

Why did the grand battle between humans and demons that we had imagined gradually fade away?

But Lu Ye changed his mind.

In later generations, except for the East Sea King Snake Palace and the Evil God Temple, the demons on land were driven to the remote Nanhe Island, and their numbers were completely not on the same order of magnitude as those of humans.

There must have been a bloody massacre in the process.

Did I put it on too early?
In fact, the mighty emperor who overthrew the rule of the demon clan is the figure of the next era?

No one said there is only one Human Emperor. Maybe there is a second or third generation?

Of course it shouldn't be like this. Through exchanging information with Mo Ruyan, although this period of history was not recorded in later generations, this was clearly the key year for the rise of the human race and the defeat of the demon race.

Lu Ye suppressed the doubts in his mind and led his four servants to travel through the mountains and rivers towards Bajie City. After all, at this conference, they would set a route to target the demon clan.

It must be that the Taoist Master Yi Tianque, who advocated war, gained more support and overwhelmed the Taoist Master Jia Ganzhi, who advocated peace. In this way, the Human Emperor would be able to "come out" and the demon clan would be "defeated".

In this case, Lu Ye was naturally not nervous. He attended the meeting with a relaxed attitude of participating in and witnessing history.

This day.

He was riding a horse on a turtle, with a big tree providing shade. On the turtle's back stood Sect Leader Mo, respectfully fanning him. He was traveling leisurely when a flash of light passed by in the sky, riding side by side with him.

Among them, there was a fat Taoist priest wearing a red robe, with red hair, red eyebrows and a red face. He was riding a ferocious and even fatter pig demon. He was on his way.

As the Taoist walked, three faces appeared on his face, which were the symbols of the Three Bodies of the Mahayana Supreme Saint. He was also a supreme saint.

Lu Ye and the red-faced Taoist bowed almost at the same time and called each other fellow Taoists.

The two exchanged Dharma names.

Lu Ye gave his pseudonym as Lu Tongshen; and this Taoist called himself the Three Red Saint. He said his surname was Zhu, that he practiced fire-based martial arts and his whole body was red, and that his mount was a pig monster, so others called him the Three Red Saint.

Of course, there are also some powerful monster enemies who secretly call him the Three Pig Saint, but he should not be taken seriously.

Lu Ye felt ashamed in his heart. If it weren't for this person's reminder, he would have really thought that the other party was the Three Pigs Saint.

If a person is a wild boar, and his mount is a pig monster, he will act like a pig, and it is hard not to have biased thoughts about him.

After the two of them talked, they both held swords and ordered to participate in the Bajie City Conference.

Mahayana saints like them were allowed to make brief speeches and vote, so all the existing Mahayana saints of the entire human race rushed to Bajie City from all directions.

The two chatted for a while, and because they had the same destination, they decided to travel together.

Lu Ye tried to take out the fine wine from the green-skinned gourd and share it with him.

This wine was brewed by Yuan Ruoshui on a whim in ancient times. The Sanzhu Zhisheng was addicted to it after the first drink, intoxicated after the second taste, and couldn't help himself after the third drink. So the two became good friends.

They traveled together, and Lu Ye discovered that although the Sanzhu Supreme Saint was a little fat, he had a wide range of friends and rich travel experience, and a passing monk could tell this person's origins in just a few words at a glance.

He was also humorous and had no airs, so Lu Ye immediately felt that the small jar of wine was well worth the money.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu..." Lu Ye asked curiously, "You and I have heard about what was discussed at the conference."

"Which side do you agree with?"

The Three Zhu Supreme Saint waved his hand.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, although you and I are already supreme saints, and the top cultivators in the eyes of others, we are just a foil with a seat in the conference.”

"The real decision-makers are the Second Ancestor and the Six Sages!"

"They are the patriarchs of the Eight Sages. Most of the Mahayana saints of the human race are guest elders of these eight families."

"That's why the opinions of the eight clan leaders are extremely important."

"I heard that this conference will use arrow pitching to decide the future strategy of our human race, whether to fight or make peace with the demon race."

"Anyone with a cultivation level above the Great Saint can shoot an arrow." "Unless the eight families disagree, it is impossible for independent cultivators like you and me to affect the destiny of the human race."

"Let's just show up, enjoy some natural treasures, and just follow the crowd by raising our hands and throwing arrows. Don't take it too seriously."

Lu Ye was stunned when he heard this and remained silent for a long time.

The monks were very good at using this unique skill... They even used the entertainment method of pitching pots as a voting method.

But according to the Three Zhu Saints, the patriarchs of the Eight Sages' families, the Second Ancestor and Six Sages, can control the vast majority of votes from the source.

What is this conference then? Just a formality, to complete the procedures in name only and notify everyone?

Lu Ye felt very uncomfortable.

Back then, he was Shang Tianti, the Thousand-Faced Judge, and many other Fire Transmitters fighting for their lives, but it was not for the purpose of cultivating a family of immortals.

Just thinking about it.

With an organization like the Fire Transmitters, except for the Huotang Lingyun Sect which can still maintain its sect structure, as long as they spread out, they will surely form a family as the smallest unit of immortal cultivation.

When the Lingyun Sect's headquarters grew to a certain size in the later period, it was bound to be targeted by the demon clan. It had experienced several ups and downs when Lu Ye was there.

If things continue to develop in this way, the Immortal Cultivation Family might be the most suitable organization. If the winner is chosen from countless families, wouldn't it become a powerful family if things continue to develop in this way?
This is also the necessary price that humans have to pay if they want to rise.

Lu Ye didn’t think too much about it. After all, history has proven that after the human race overthrew the demon race, the sect’s inheritance prevailed in the end, and the family power eventually declined.

When I think about it this way, I immediately feel relieved. History will correct itself automatically. Don’t worry so much. Think about solving it right away.

When Lu Ye thought about it, his anxiety disappeared, and he walked slowly along the way, tasting the wine with the Three Zhu Saints.

Anyway, he had already predicted the result of the game. Just look at history and you will know that the pro-war faction will definitely win!
After this meeting, the Human Emperor finally unified the thoughts of the human race, mobilized a large army, and finally defeated the demon race completely!
You can just go over to join in the fun and play a supporting role. What is there to worry about?

-

One day later.

In Bajie City, inside the Lu family temple.

At this moment, the atmosphere was almost stagnant.

Lu Ye stared in amazement at the two pitching pots placed on the ground in the hall. The two pots looked exactly the same.

There is a big word pasted on the outside, one is "War" and the other is "Peace", and the arrow feathers inside are of different colors.

The color is pure white, which represents peace. It means a truce with the demon clan, and we should determine the boundaries through negotiation and stop fighting in the future!

Of course, whether this is a ceasefire or a hundred-year ceasefire depends entirely on the changes in the number of top cultivators of the human and demon races at that time.

If the number of demon clan's tribulation-crossing Taoist masters exceeds that of the human race as it is today, it will naturally be an unbreakable ceasefire agreement.

If an immortal appeared in the human race, or the number of Taoist masters who had transcended tribulation and semi-immortal soldiers overwhelmed the number of demons, then naturally the ceasefire agreement could be torn up at any time.

There were twenty white arrow feathers thrown into the pot.

The arrow feathers in the other pot are scarlet, which means they will fight the demon clan to the death.

The demons regard us humans as two-legged sheep and have enslaved us for nearly ten thousand years. The corpses are piled up like mountains and our tears are like the sea. Even if all the paper in the world is spread out, it cannot record all the sufferings of us humans.

How can peace be achieved so easily?

The number of cultivators of our human race has now surpassed that of the demon race. Now is the time to make a concerted effort. Who can guarantee that there won't be an incredibly talented person emerging from the demon race to forcibly prolong the life of the demon race?

Everyone knows that it is better to kill him while he is ill.

At this moment, there are also twenty scarlet arrow feathers in the pot.

So far, the war and peace factions are actually tied!
Lu Ye originally thought that the battle situation would be one-sided, but he did not expect it to be so intense, with arrows almost following one another, alternating between rising and catching up.

This is the Lu family temple.

Fifty top cultivators of the human race sat on the ground in a circle.

On the periphery, there were hundreds of True Saints standing quietly.

Among them, the second patriarch, six sages and eight others sat in the middle.

Behind them, on the altar, there are plaques of the spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Lu family who died in battles with the demon clan.

These spirit tablets are stacked up layer by layer with names engraved on them. From bottom to top, there are almost a thousand layers and tens of thousands of people piled up like a mountain!

The higher the memorial tablet is, the older the material is, and it is riddled with pits and dents from being worn out by time.

The topmost spirit tablet was carved from a whole piece of fine spirit wood. The mottled writing was repainted with golden spirit lacquer, making it particularly eye-catching.

Lu Ye looked up and felt terrified.

Because there are a few big words written on it...Spirit of the ancestor Lu Ye!
I am being watched by my spirit tablet...

Even though Lu Ye didn't believe in it, he still felt uneasy.

Moreover, the atmosphere in the field was very depressing.

Under the mountain of tokens, Tianque Daojun and Ganzhi Daojun sat separately, with a clear distinction between them.

Among them, behind Taoist Tianque was only the head of the Mu family, named Mu Fang. As his name suggests, he had a square appearance, even his face was like that.

And Tianque Daojun is the advocate of war!
The head of the other armor family, Ganzhi Daojun, is a peace advocate. Behind him sit five people: Shangxi Zhisheng, Lu Bing Zhisheng, Guanquan Zhisheng, Longren Zhisheng and Leihuo Zhisheng.

It can be said that the Second Patriarch and Six Sages have clearly expressed their opinions through their seats.

That is, Taoist Tianque and the Holy Mufang against Taoist Ganzhi and the other five family heads.

The war faction was completely defeated!
Tianque Daojun, the emperor of the time, has black hair and a beard, and is intimidating without even getting angry. He truly has the power of an emperor, but at this moment he is also frowning, because it seems that the Decisive Victory Faction is about to lose to the Coexistence Faction!
Then why do both sides have the same number of arrow feathers in the game of tossing pot?
Because the Three Zhu Saints underestimated one thing.

That is, those guest saints recruited by the eight families will indeed follow the patriarch to throw arrows.

But not all the human saints in the world belong to the eight families!

Casual cultivators like Lu Ye and the Three Zhu Saints cast their votes back one after another and pursued relentlessly, so the outcome of the war was still undecided.

The Second Ancestor and Six Sages established the rules today that the eight of them would not participate in the game of pitching pots.

In other words.

Two more arrows would determine the future strategy of the human race and decide its rise and fall for the next ten thousand years.

And these two arrows are in the hands of Lu Ye and San Zhu Zhisheng.

Tianque Daojun also has access to all the information about the cultivators.

The Three Zhu Supreme Saints belong to the Follow the Wind faction, and this Lu Tongshen has just become a Supreme Saint, so he should not dare to provoke the Six Sages family, so the Decisive Victory faction has actually already lost.

Let’s talk about the Three Zhu Saints and Lu Ye.

The two who entered last, sat at the threshold, took the last two arrows, and now became the focus of everyone's attention.

The Sanzhu Zhisheng had sweat on his forehead, and he used his spiritual consciousness to transmit the message to Lu Yedao.

"Dude, it's bad."

"You have just become a saint, so you must not offend the Eight Sages Family."

"Brother will also let you see what kind of responsibility you have today!"

The Third Zhu Sage waved his hand gracefully, and a red arrow flew out from under his knee and hit the pot.

He turned his head and gave Lu Ye a wry smile.

"Brother has now returned your favor of the wine."

"If you throw another white arrow, the game will be even. If we throw again, we brothers won't be under so much pressure."

"Throw it quickly!"

A complex emotion flashed in Lu Ye's eyes.

I actually got the last arrow?
Be it war or peace, is the fate of humanity in our own hands?

He closed his eyes and thought of the hunchbacked old Shang Tianti and Shang Ling'er, who might have never left the Ten Thousand Mountains until their death; he thought of the Thousand-Faced Judge who threw away the Judge's Pen, voluntarily gave up the path of cultivation even though he could have reached the level of Refining Void, and instead took the path of Fire Transmission with the help of a dog-beating stick, and whose body was finally buried somewhere unknown.
