Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 698: Living sacrifice

Hongchi.

A burly figure sat cross-legged on a big rock, surrounded by blood energy like pythons, coiling around each other. At a glance, it looked like a python pond.

Lu Tong fell slowly.

"Huh."

The figure took a long breath, opened his eyes, struggled a few times, and stood up very weakly.

"The king."

"Yeah."

Lu Tong responded, feeling a little disappointed.

Xiao Longting has been with him since he was in Aoshan City. He is reliable and trustworthy. As long as his cultivation level reaches a breakthrough, he can be entrusted with important tasks.

It’s a pity that the opportunity is too short.

One half of the method of breaking an infant in the "Neither Human nor Demon Sutra" is the orthodox method of breaking an infant, which uses the soul as nourishment and the golden elixir as the seed to conceive and raise the Nascent Soul; the other half is based on the reference of monster beasts and sacrifices blood to refine the monster skin. , feeding back the soul through flesh and blood.

As for Xiao Longting, who became an elixir in his early years, he did not study the "Neither Human nor Demon Sutra" and could only borrow half of the methods.

"Continue?"

Xiao Longting shook his head, lowered his head, and said: "All three treasures have been exhausted, and the soul is scattered but not condensed. It is a waste of time to continue."

Lu Tong thought for a moment and said, "There is something you need to do."

"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

"There will be great changes in Baishan. From now on, Baishan is strictly prohibited from getting involved in business, occupying mountains and forests, etc. All the increase or decrease of monks in each mountain will be arranged by Qiangwu Tower."

Xiao Longting looked even more depressed.

Lu Tong remained calm and continued: "I am going to leave this matter to you, do you dare to take it?"

The disease of Baishan is already terminal.

Last time the business of Mu Feiyang and others was targeted, he called out Ji Baobao and killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, which made the people in Baishan restrain themselves a lot, but the root cause of the problem was never eliminated.

This time, in order to deal with mold, we are going to make major changes, just in time to solve the old problems together.

Xiao Longting remained silent.

This kind of thing is very offending, and it only offends the subordinates and comrades with whom the relationship is closest. Since you cannot break into the Nascent Soul Realm, the only people you can rely on in the future are your subordinates and comrades.

Lu Tongtong: "Don't dare, or are you unwilling?"

Xiao Longting hesitated for a few breaths, swallowed his throat, and said: "Your Majesty, I have something unclear."

"Say."

"If we don't occupy the mountains and forests, don't grab business, and don't have a bright future, I...how can they fight for it?"

Lu Tong looked sideways at the trees, flowers and grass all over the mountain.

Everything has pros and cons.

If left unchecked, Baishan's massive expansion has begun to hinder hundreds of industries in the country; putting reins on Baishan will make the people of Baishan dissatisfied, which will also affect their combat effectiveness.

“How good does it take to have a great future?”

Xiao Longting fell into silence again.

Lu Tongtong: "Which one is better, to be the king of a mountain, to be rich and wealthy, or to be inferior to one person and to be superior to ten thousand people?"

"At least, at least make people willing to fight hard."

Lu Tong looked at Xiao Longting and said: "That's why I need Qiangwu Tower and you. I want Baishan to turn into a sharp knife that won't hurt me."

Xiao Longting was a little surprised and said: "Me and Qiangwu Tower?"

"Well, the owner of Qiangwu Tower has been vacant for a long time. If you are willing, you will be the owner of Qiangwu Tower from today on, commanding each building, each mountain, and the country's large and small martial arts leagues."

"Where is the Master of Zhangqiao Hall?"

Lu Tong blinked and said, "It has nothing to do with you."

Qiangwu Tower is also an old story.

In the early years, it was established by Qiu Yin Palace, and it has always been involved in literature and martial arts. Later, when it was ready to be handed over to Baishan, Zhang Qiao took out the "Book of Good Demons" and prepared to use Qiangwu Tower to spread the martial arts.

Decades have passed, the martial arts style has become established, and it is time to solve it together.

Xiao Longting lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Master, I still need someone."

"Who?"

"Master Tai."

"Yes."

……

Late night.

Yong You fled outside the Ziqi Palace, waited for a while, entered the palace, and said: "I agreed."

Lu Tong sat on the couch, feeling a little relaxed.

The great transformation of the country is extraordinary.

In addition to the helpers of the Hemu Turtle clan, gods are also needed to stabilize the Five Elements, mountains and rivers, etc. However, when the mountains and rivers change, the earth veins, water veins, etc. are all damaged, which also causes great damage to the gods.

If Yongnuo is unwilling to take action, he can only spend a huge price to ask Yuchao to take action.

"What do you want?"

"A living sacrifice."

"What?"

Lu Tong was a little surprised.

Sacrifice, sacrifice to gods.

The custom was so long ago that there are very few relevant records. He only heard about it after he became the head of the country.

Before the rise of the ancient immortals, the gods were the masters of heaven and earth. In order to survive, people sacrificed to the gods every year to pray for good weather and to slay demons and eliminate evil spirits.

The ritual of worshiping gods is very complicated, and the most indispensable thing is human life.

Yongwu sat on the futon and handed over a jade slip.

"A sacrifice of ten thousand people."

Lu Tong took the jade slip and slowly lowered his eyes after reading the contents inside.

Living sacrifices are bloody.

Not only was it bloody, but it was also extremely cruel, even more so than the Ten Thousand Demons Array when he broke into the Golden Core.

"Are there any consequences to this method?"

"Of course there is. Carrying human resentment will stain your divinity. After this sacrifice of ten thousand people, if you want to improve your cultivation, you can only continue to rely on this method."

"Then why did you choose this path?"

"There is no other way. Of course, in order to break the baby, there has been a sacrifice of thousands of people in the Young Fox Kingdom, so there has been no progress in cultivation over the years."

"This kind of thing can't be tainted by the good demon Zhengguo."

"This is not your nature."

Lu Tong glanced at Yongwu, turned over his hand and put away the jade slip, and said: "In five days, you go and wait outside the Duaniu Pass. Someone will arrange the rest."

"Thank you."

Yongnuo didn't hesitate, nodded and bowed, turned back and left the hall.

"Living sacrifice..."

Lu Tong muttered to himself, and flew away, turning into a blood cloud and flying towards the west.

Inside the cracks deep underground.

Lu Tong entered the spider cocoon and his eyes changed slightly when he saw the scene inside.

"Why is she here?"

Xianmei is also here.

Xiang Huan, Xian Mei, and a slightly foolish woman were entangled together, murmuring like a group of human snakes.

Dian Si'er was offering sacrifices to evil spirits, concentrating on his skills, and said: "Call me to ask questions, so that Xu Ling won't make any small moves again."

"Who is she?"

Dian Si'er raised the corners of his lips and said, "Let me guess, sir."

Lu Tong had no intention of guessing, so he walked to the side and sat down. As soon as he sat down, a name came to his mind.

"Shenpu?"

The Miss Shen family back then is now working for Baochuan. Apart from Xianmei, Xu Ling is the only one who knows him.

Dian Si'er nodded slowly.

Lu Tong turned to look, stared for a few seconds, shook his head, and said: "Seizing souls and seizing souls, if this method spreads, it may cause chaos in the world."

"Sir, many countries have similar methods."

"Yeah."

Lu Tong suppressed his distracting thoughts and asked, "What did Xu Ling do?"

"There are no big moves, but there are some small moves. Xu Ling married two women, one is a subordinate of the Water Dragon King, and the other is the daughter of the tower owner of Bochi Xinliang Tower."

Lu Tong smiled, but his eyes were a little colder, and he said: "We are starting to hook up."

Dian Si'er went over to make tea in person and said, "Fortunately, he is very afraid of the master and does not dare to cause a big mess. He only occasionally reveals some small news about various palaces and mountains."

Lu Tong slowly shook his head and said: "Since you have reached out, you will fall in sooner or later."

"I'll keep an eye on it."

Dian Si'er handed over a cup of tea.

Lu Tong took a sip, took out the jade slip given by Yongwu, and said, "Look at this."

After Dian Si'er saw it, he was not surprised at all and said: "Master wants to hold a living sacrifice?"

"Ten thousand people, is there any?"

"Big dog demons and cave demons are always there. Anyway, if there is not enough food to eat, your death will be in vain. The age requirement in the jade slips is strict and it will take a few days."

"Five days later, Yongwu will be waiting at Daniuguan. You go and discuss with him."

"Okay."

Dian Si'er dragged Shen Pu out, brought him to Lu Tong, and said, "If it was still difficult before, fortunately, Xue Lian Country is also short of food now. It will take some time to get it together."

Shen Pu's eyes were blurry, he fumbled around a few times, grabbed Lu Tong's calf, and climbed up directly.

Lu Tong frowned, raised his leg and kicked to the side.

"What happened to the Blood Refining Kingdom?"

"People are so hungry that they will do anything just to get a bite to eat. Some people even believe that there is endless food in the devil's cave."

Lu Tong was a little surprised.

"The Blood Refining Kingdom has reached this point?"

"Yes. There is a devil's cave in the southwest corner of the Blood Refining Kingdom. More than 100,000 people have entered the cave in the past few days. If the cave entrance is not too far away, the number of people could have doubled several times."

Lu Tong nodded, feeling happy and angry at the same time.

The good news is that the Xuelian Kingdom is in a critical situation. Without the help of its allies, nor the help of Zuntian Divine Realm, Lian Zhoushan, etc., the Xuelian Kingdom has suffered huge losses.

What makes Xu Ling angry is that he concealed such a major incident and refused to report it.

He suddenly understood Xu Ling's little plan.

As the master of a palace, Xu Ling does not need to betray the good demon Zhengguo. He only needs to be lazy and derelict in his duties, so that he can take advantage while doing his best to protect himself.

"Xu Ling."

Shen Pu crawled over again.

Lu Tong frowned.

He is lustful, but what is good is not flesh color, but human color.

There is no limit to the color of the flesh, and the left and right are nothing more than phoenix eyes, almond eyes, star eyes, peach cheeks, and a moon face... She has gradually become tired over the years.

Human color is endless.

Behind every face is a completely different person, with a past, a future, joy, anger, sorrow, and hatred, etc.

Now Shenpu is in a hazy state of mind and is just a body of flesh.

After Dian Si'er saw it, he pushed Shen Pu away, walked over and sat in his arms, saying, "Master, can't you do it?"

Lu Tong raised his hand and took it over, recalling the past of recruiting Xu Ling in his mind.

"This is not the time. Xu Ling is gone, and no one can take over except Bu Shefeng. But Bu Shefeng's cultivation level is too low, and he continues to promote the Bu family, and the Bu family's authority is too prominent."

“There is no shortage of outstanding people in Qizhi Mountain.”

Dian Si'er took off his five-color robe, revealing an exquisite body glowing with Dharma light.

Lu Tong leaned over and took a deep breath, and said: "The Hall of Ceremony not only monitors the outside world, but also monitors all officials in the country. Qizhi Mountain comes from the same lineage, so it is inevitable that some people will show favoritism."

Dian Si'er raised his head, his black hair fell, and his body stood tall.

"Everyone has personal feelings."

"Yeah."

Lu Tong had no time to think about anything else.

Dian Si'er suddenly lowered his head and said, "There is someone who might be suitable."

"We'll talk about it later..."

……

Tianmen Pier.

There are remains of a very large gate outside the pier. It is not on the water, but underwater. Only two underwater gate pillars are left in the ruins of the ancient city ten thousand years ago.

The Shushu Immortal Ship is like a city, floating above the ruins.

In Qibao Mansion, Yun Ao and Lu Tong sat opposite each other.

Yun Ao looked surprised and said: "Please ask me to be the master of the ceremony hall?"

"How?"

Lu Tong nodded slowly.

Dian Si'er is right. Yun Ao is indeed suitable. He is lonely and suspicious. There is no need to worry about becoming big or colluding with outsiders.

"Why?"

"How can you ignore the majestic Yuanying Master?"

Yun Ao looked displeased, and Lu Tong continued: "What's more, the senior sister is very powerful and is a descendant of Laojun's lineage. She is not comparable to outsiders."

Yun Ao frowned and said nothing.

Lu Tong took a sip from his teacup and said, "Sister, if you have any requests, just speak up."

Drink a cup of tea.

Lu Tong also frowned.

At this time, Yun Ao said: "A king who is forced to give up his throne can take on such an important task?"

Lu Tong blinked, thought for a while, and said: "With senior sister's intelligence and the assistant Zuo who has the dream-entering technique, it is more than enough to serve as the master of a palace."

"So you are still not worthy of being the leader of the country?"

"Not bad."

The two looked at each other, and Yun Ao's expression became colder.

Lu Tong smiled and said: "Sister, if you don't believe it, you might as well commit yourself to the ceremony hall first and see what the difference is between Liangyao Zhengguo and the previous Shuguo."

"What's the difference?"

"A world of difference."

Lu Tong stood up and left the table, leaving his last words: "The master of the palace may not be weaker than the master of the country. Yun Ao, I will wait for you for three days."

Return to the Purple Air Palace.

Lu Tai was waiting at the door, bowed and said: "Greetings to father."

"Back."

"Well, after hearing the summons, rush back to Yuanxiang City immediately."

Lu Tong was very pleased.

Although his son is immature, he is very obedient, even a little too obedient. Sometimes Lu Tong even hopes that Lu Tai can muster the courage to refute a few times.

"Let's go in and sit down."

"Yes."

The two entered the palace.

After Lu Tong sat down, Lu Tai bowed before sitting on the futon.

"Father, I heard about a conspiracy when I was in the Xu Kingdom."

"What conspiracy?"

"The demons deceived the people and spread rumors everywhere, saying that there was countless food stored underground and there was endless food. They deceived the people of the Xu Kingdom and the Blood Refining Kingdom, thinking that..."

Lu Tai paused for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "I heard it is used as meat!"

Lu Tong nodded and said, "I heard about it."

"Why doesn't father care?"

Lu Tai's eyes widened, feeling very surprised.

Lu Tong was also surprised and said: "Why should I care?"

The father and son looked at each other. ~IndoMTL.com~ Lu Tai opened his mouth and said: "The "Shangyuan Sutra" says that virtue is consistent with Taoism. If you want to calm your mind, you should spread benevolence and anoint all things. The country of Xu surrenders to our country, and so do the people of Xu. Father's people should be protected by Father, otherwise..."

"What else?"

"Otherwise, otherwise, the virtue will be lacking, it will be difficult to be in harmony with the Tao, and it will be difficult to make any progress in cultivation."

Lu Tai's eyes were a little flustered.

Lu Tong showed a smile and said: "Yes, reading the book is not in vain. But this is the method of the ancient immortals. Benevolence comes from the heart and is influenced by nature. They admire benevolence and learn the method through this."

"However, "On the Kingdom of China" said that 'great benevolence can prosper the world', and 'The Ten Righteousnesses of Revealing the Country' also ranked 'Jun Ren' first."

Lu Tong was stunned for a moment, and soon the smile on his face grew wider.

"Yes, that's the truth."

Lu Tai relaxed a lot and asked: "Then why did father ignore this matter?"

"This is the reason, but the reason is very simple, but the matter is very troublesome. Let me ask you first, the Xu country is my people, are they the people of Yan Kun?"

"Yes."

"Then why doesn't Yan Kun care?"

"The country is weak and does not dare to offend the demons."

Lu Tong nodded and said: "Then why don't you ask us for help? The country has surrendered to us, so it should be natural for us to ask for help."

"Maybe..."

Lu Tai gradually frowned.

Lu Tong found several secret books about the warehouses, population, money, etc. of the Xu Kingdom, and walked over to give them to Lu Tai.

"Things in books are right and wrong, but things in the world are not like that. Good things and bad things are often mixed together."

Lu Tai took the secret book.

Lu Tong patted his son on the head and said, "Go back and think about it slowly. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Just correct them after you make them. The more mistakes you make, the greater your progress will be."
