Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 116 The Truth: The Origin of the Fake Man
"That is a treasure bestowed by the Dao Sect." The Sect Leader Li Ye Nong explained, "That tripod is called the Dao Tripod. After injecting a small amount of black mist into it, it can communicate with other cultivators who also hold the Dao Tripod even though they are thousands of miles away."

Communicate with each other thousands of miles away?
Isn’t that just like a mobile phone?
Li Yenong's words aroused Xie Shen's interest, and he continued to hide in the wall and observe quietly.

In the secret room.

But Li Ye Nong continued, "If I just say it like this, you may not understand it, so I will just demonstrate it to you."

After saying that, he took the initiative to move towards the cauldron and injected a small amount of black mist into it.

Under the rolling black fog.

Soon, a black shadow with a human-like outline appeared above the cauldron.

Seeing the black shadow in front of him, Li Ye Nong hurriedly bowed and said, "Li Ye Nong, the head of Mingyang Sect, greets the Taoist Immortal!"

And it's not just Li Yenong.

The elder of Mingyang Sect, who had been standing silently beside him, also performed the salute as a junior.

Xi Pingwen is a person who is good at observing people's words and expressions.

After seeing the actions of the two people beside him, he also imitated and bowed to the black shadow.

The black shadow saw it and said with a tone that was half majestic and half lazy: "What's the matter?"

Li Ye Nong said respectfully, "I am here to pay this month's offering."

As he spoke, he tapped the storage bag on his waist and took out an oversized black glass bottle.

——Xie Shen had seen this black glass bottle at Bu Tianran's place before.

This is used to hold the black mist.

It was Bu Tianran who crushed the glass bottle, which caused a large amount of black mist to be transmitted to the Black Buddha, causing Xie Shen to suffer a lot.

So Xie Shen was deeply impressed.

In the secret room.

Li Ye Nong took out a black glass bottle from his storage bag and threw it directly into the cauldron.

Lean less.

I only heard the black shadow say: "Ming Yang Sect, right?"

"Based on the amount of offerings you make this month, you can receive two 'Human Brain Pills' from me."

"take it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two pitch-black pills flew out from the bronze cauldron.

Now Xie Shen, who was hiding in the wall, understood clearly:

That large bronze tripod can not only function like a mobile phone, allowing people to communicate with each other thousands of miles away.

It also has the ability to transport items over long distances.

It's incredible
"That big tripod is a good thing." Seeing such a magical artifact, Li Xiu was tempted: "If there is a chance, it would be best to steal it."

"I'll study it and see if it can be mass-produced."

Li Xiu's voice came from the headset.

In addition, Xie Shen had already turned down the volume of the headset, so there was no need to worry about Li Ye Nong and others hearing it.

At the same time as Li Xiu spoke.

In the secret room.

After Ye Nong got two "human brain pills", he immediately showed a happy expression.

He said as if he had found a treasure: "Thank you very much, Immortal, thank you very much, Immortal!"

"Yeah," the black shadow responded calmly, "If there's nothing else, I'll cut off contact. I'm very busy here."

Li Ye Nong hurriedly bowed again and said, "Farewell, Immortal!"

The black shadow didn't say anything else, but disappeared from the cauldron.

——The black shadow seemed to be of a very high status, and Li Ye Nong's manners in front of him could be said to be impeccable.

However, this is only the face-to-face approach.

After the black shadow left, Li Ye Nong immediately cursed, "You bastard!"

"Master Brother." Xi Pingwen saw it and couldn't help asking from the side: "Who was that black shadow just now?"

"Alas, it's just a dog raised by the Taoist sect." Li Ye Nong said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "The Taoist sect has a rule: all the sects under its jurisdiction must hand over at least one glass bottle of black mist to them through the Taoist tripod every month."

"Then in return, they will give us varying amounts of human brain pills."

"As for how many human brain pills you can get, that depends on how much black mist you handed in."

Human brain pill?

Xi Pingwen asked, "So what is the human brain pill used for?"

Li Ye Nong said: "Before talking about the human brain pill, first you need to know something."

"That is: the black mist actually has huge side effects on humans."

"What side effects?" Xi Pingwen asked puzzledly.

Li Ye Nong said: "You should have heard of the saying that monks can go astray during their practice, right?"

"In fact, it's not a case of being possessed by a demon at all, but a side effect of absorbing too much black mist."

"Of course."

"This kind of side effect cannot be felt by cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage."

"Because they absorbed very little black mist."

"But it's different after the foundation-building stage."

Li Ye Nong used Xi Pingwen as an example and said, "Hasn't you already broken through to the foundation-building stage?"

"If you continue to practice, then as time goes by, you will absorb more and more black mist."

"You will eventually lose the quality of 'emotion' and gradually lose yourself, even to the point of not recognizing your relatives."

"It is also commonly known as 'going astray'." This.
Xi Pingwen looked at the human brain pill in Li Yenong's hand.

He thought thoughtfully, "So the human brain pill that the Taoist sect just gave us is used to relieve the symptoms of being possessed by a demon?"

"Smart!" Li Ye Nong praised and said, "This human brain pill can offset the negative effects of the black mist to a certain extent."

"I understand, I understand." Xi Pingwen followed up, "So in order to obtain the human brain pill, each sect must obediently follow the orders of the Taoist sect, such as paying tribute every month, is that right?"

"Humph,"

Li Ye Nong sneered: "On the surface, this is indeed the case."

"Almost all sects have to be constrained by the Dao Sect for the sake of the Human Brain Pill and obey its orders."

"But in reality, most sects know how to refine human brain pills."

"For example, our Mingyang Sect can make its own human brain pills to alleviate the symptoms of being possessed by demons."

"Ah?" Xi Pingwen asked in confusion, "Then why do we still need to listen to the Taoist sect?"

"Why do you think it is?"

Li Ye Nong asked back: "Just now I saw that you were quite smart and could draw inferences from one example. Why can't you figure it out now?"

"We have to listen to the Taoist sect, of course, because the Taoist sect is stronger."

"It is said that there are even old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage hidden in the Taoist sect."

“So let alone us Foundation Establishment cultivators, even if we all break through to the Golden Core Stage, we would never dare to challenge the Dao Sect.”

"Ugh"

At this point, Li Ye Nong repeated what he said before: "Anyway, it's the law of the jungle, nothing more than that!"

Inside the secret room wall.

After listening to what Li Ye Nong said, Li Xiuchong analyzed to Xie Shen: "It is obvious that the relationship between Ming Yang Sect and Dao Sect is not as harmonious as imagined. Although they are superiors and subordinates, they are secretly disobeying each other."

"This is our chance."

To avoid being exposed, Xie Shen could not speak inside the wall.

But Li Xiu, who is far away on Earth, can.

He continued to talk to himself: "Originally, I planned to use poison, or install a remote-controlled bomb in the heart to control the people of this sect."

“But now it seems that it is no longer necessary.”

"These two people from Mingyang Sect are simply an independent small group."

"Just use your strength to subdue them, and then give them some benefits, and they will all be obedient."

Li Xiu was talking here.

Suddenly, the head of the sect, Li Ye Nong, spoke again: "Since we are talking about the human brain pill, I might as well teach you the method of refining it."

As he spoke, he took out another book from his storage bag and handed it to Xi Pingwen.

and continued.

"In fact, the process of refining human brain pills is not complicated."

"The key is that the medicine is very particular."

"To refine human brain pills, you must use a living person with a sound mind as the medicine."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Xi Pingwen showed a strange expression and subconsciously glanced at the pitch-black human brain pill.

"Don't think too much." Seeing Xi Pingwen's reaction, the head of the sect, Li Ye Nong, hurriedly added: "What I just said about using people as medicine does not mean to kill them, but to use secret methods to extract their emotions, and then refine the emotions into pills for consumption."

"Use emotions to refine pills?" Xi Pingwen looked puzzled.

Li Ye Nong explained: "Didn't I just say that a monk who absorbs too much black mist will gradually lose the trait of 'emotion'?"

"And as the saying goes, you are what you eat."

"The human brain pill made from human emotions can just replenish the emotions lost by us monks."

“That way we won’t lose ourselves.”

In the secret room.

Hearing this, Xi Pingwen subconsciously glanced at the cell not far away where the four mortals were imprisoned.

He realized something and said, "So those mortals are used for nothing more than torturing and extracting the black mist."

"Another use is to use it as a medicine to refine the human brain pill?"

"That's right!" Li Ye Nong admitted generously, "This way, we can make the best use of it."

"That"

Xi Pingwen added: "Will mortals whose emotions have been taken away die in the end?"

"No." Li Yenong replied, "But they will gradually lose themselves because their emotions are taken away."

"In the end, they became the practitioners who had gone astray in the 'Evil Buddha Demon Land'."

"Oh, no."

At the end of his words, he suddenly changed his words and said, "Those mortals do not have the ability to cultivate, so they cannot be considered as practitioners who have gone astray."

"We usually call mortals who have lost their selfhood 'pseudo-people'!"

"What do you think? This name is very appropriate, isn't it?"

Good guy.

After hearing this, Xie Shen finally understood the origin of the "fake person".

——After all this time, it turned out to be formed by the practitioners in the Buddhist and Taoist world after removing the emotions of mortals.

"This is trouble."

After learning the origin of the pseudo-people, Li Xiu was troubled: "If we talk about the so-called pseudo-people, they are all transformed from ordinary people in the Buddhist world."

"Then as long as the people in this world don't die out, there will be an endless number of fake people invading our Earth."
