One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 219: Human Infant Fruit

Zhao Fuyun held the jujube wood statue in his hand. He could still feel the faint fire attribute on it, but he could also feel the faint devil attribute on it.

Originally it was pure fire, pure yang, but now there is a feeling of yin and yang entangled.

This statue of the Red Flame God seems to have a unique life quality.

"Nightmare monster? Fire nightmare monster? Fire nightmare demon?"

Zhao Fuyun held the statue and looked at it carefully. He felt that the statue had changed in quality.

It's like the branches are bearing fruit that shouldn't be bearing fruit.

The fire here is no longer pure fire, but a kind of fire that is hard to describe, or we can call it nightmare fire.

The reason why he thought of it was that he couldn't sit here all the time, in that talisman shop. When he was about to leave, the shop would be empty and no one would be guarding it. If there was something to help him guard the place, then no one would break in when he left.

He thought about this thing that was a fusion of fire and nightmare, and thought, why not call it the Flame Demon Statue, since it just happened to be a convenient name.

He wanted to refine it into a treasure that he could control at any time, rather than an uncontrollable monster.

He believed that if this statue was placed in the mortal world, a monster would be born soon.

He thought of the method of dividing his mind.

In fact, refining magic tools is also about dividing the mind and placing thoughts into it. After each magic tool is refined, the mind is placed into it, just like a fruit on a tree.

The main body of the monk is the tree trunk.

However, this golem is not a dead object like magical weapons and treasures. It will corrode and devour the divine thoughts contained in it.

As far as he knew, some sects had special methods of refining magic weapons such as "demon god" banners, such as the famous Heavenly Demon Banner and Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner. The demons and ghosts in them could devour people's souls and grow by being worshipped with incense. Their growth rate was extremely fast, and they were powerful magic weapons.

Zhao Fuyun couldn't think of the method of sacrifice for a moment, so he sealed it up again.

Afterwards, he took out the wooden branch obtained from Longqi Town.

This green jade paulownia branch looks very beautiful. Even though its owner is dead, it is still green and full of spiritual energy.

I took it out and played with it for a while, feeling the Dharma meaning behind it.

There are the properties of wood, growth, wind, thunder, etc., and also engraved with runes for warding off water, fire, dust and evil spirits.

However, the most important ones are the two Dharma natures of wood and growth, and the others are not very strong.

Zhao Fuyun believed that the nature of "growth" could be very terrifying if it could be used well.

But at that time, the man was trapped in a magic circle and couldn't find any opponent at all.

He took it back and sorted out the things in his treasure bag. There were quite a few miscellaneous things, but there were not many things he really needed.

For example, he wanted precious materials that could be used to refine weapons, but he didn't find many of them.

However, when he looked through the treasure bag of one of them, he found a letter.

This letter had obviously been opened and read by someone. He remembered that this treasure bag belonged to the Taoist Qingxi.

He took out the letter and opened it. The content only invited him to go to Luodu. Apart from that, there was only a strange symbol in the signature.

Zhao Fuyun suspected that this symbol represented a certain person or organization.

It is conceivable that Taoist Qingxi belongs to a certain organization. This letter can only confirm that there is indeed someone targeting Tiandu Mountain behind the scenes. It can be seen that the murder of Xu Yacheng was also assigned by this person or organization.

On this day, he was in a state of meditation, but suddenly, he heard a call in his ears. The call came through the secret wall. When he thought about responding, he saw something in his eyes.

The man had a horse face and a ferocious look, but at this moment, his eyes did not show the same viciousness as before, but seemed to hide the viciousness and turned into coldness.

The shadow of Ma Sanhu appeared in his thoughts. His figure seemed to be in the fog, floating with the clouds, but his face was fixed.

"Senior Brother Ma." Zhao Fuyun said.

"I heard that Kaifu has returned. I have something to ask you." Ma Sanhu said directly.

"Please speak, Senior Brother Ma." Zhao Fuyun said.

"In these years of traveling around, have you found anyone taking advantage of the name of Tiandu Mountain to do evil things?" Ma Sanhu said.

"Senior brother, I haven't been to many places and haven't seen such a thing." Zhao Fuyun replied.

"I'm afraid you didn't do much research." said Ma Sanhu.

Zhao Fuyun remained silent and did not answer.

Ma Sanhu was also silent.

Zhao Fuyun said, "Brother, I think there might be something wrong with Baoling Mountain."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Ma Sanhu sneered and said, "Bu Xu made friends with evil spirits and sneaked into the mountains. He has already fled. If you meet him next time, you must be merciful."

Zhao Fuyun was surprised. He didn't expect that Bu Xu actually sneaked into the mountain and escaped. It seemed that a battle must have taken place in the mountain.

"Something has happened in the lower city recently. Go check and see if there is an evil spirit causing trouble or if someone is trying to test you again."

"Yes." Zhao Fuyun responded.

"You go find the governor of Duxia City. He will tell you to pay attention to your own safety. If you feel any danger, call me at any time." Ma Sanhu said coldly.

He seemed angry that Zhao Fuyun did not listen to him and investigate those families, but Zhao Fuyun knew that his attitude had always been the same and he could not tell his true joy or anger.

Ma Sanhu's pair of triangular eyes disappeared from the perception, Zhao Fuyun stood up and went out. The mountain was deserted now, but he did not use the Golden Crow Divine Light to escape from the mountain. Instead, he hid his figure and quietly left the mountain.

Although it was much slower, it was silent.

He had practiced the art of dream marriage and painting for a long time in the capital city.

The purpose of the dream-marrying technique is to make one's curse more powerful and difficult for people to escape, and the purpose of painting is to make the illusion more realistic.

However, these means that he once relied on to kill people were no longer used as he built his foundation.

In other words, it is because the meaning of the talisman for foundation building is inconsistent with these spells, so it is abandoned. If the nature of the Dharma is related to these spells, then it must be promoted.

He arrived at the capital city quietly.

Duxia City is neither square nor circular, but crescent-shaped, surrounding the foot of Tiandu Mountain. There are also large tracts of spiritual fields outside the city.

Zhao Fuyun met the city governor.

Zhao Fuyun had practiced here before and had never seen him, but he knew that the governor had been replaced.

The governor is also a foundation-building cultivator, but he looks older and traces of time can be seen on his face.

Zhao Fuyun still looks very young. Although practitioners can change their appearance, most people will just let things take their own course, unless they are female practitioners.

This governor called himself Danyangzi. He had been in Tiandu Mountain since he was a child and had no family. So when he had no hope of opening a government, the mountain asked him to be the governor of this Duxia city. He had never thought of taking the position, but when the mountain found him, he did not delay.

"Here is the file, Junior Brother Zhao, you can take a look."

This Danyangzi was obviously older than Zhao Fuyun and had joined the sect earlier, but his cultivation was not as good as Zhao Fuyun's, so he called Zhao Fuyun his junior brother.

When Zhao Fuyun heard him call himself Dan Yangzi, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Dan Yangzi, do you know Sister Jin Ling?"

Because of the trend of giving oneself a religious name, he knew that there was such a custom in the Lotus Ceremony in the Upper House.

"Oh, Junior Brother Zhao also recognized Junior Sister Jin Ling? No wonder, I was also a member of the Lotus Dharma Assembly, but when Junior Sister Jin Ling became the president, I no longer participated in the discussions of Dharma in the meeting."

Zhao Fuyun was just asking out of curiosity, not for any other purpose, so he asked casually, "Brother Danyang, do you know where Senior Sister Jin Ling went?"

"I don't know. He probably made a breakthrough somewhere. Over the years, all the disciples with the best talents in the mountain have been sent out. How can an old man like me know who has come back?" Dan Yangzi said.

Zhao Fuyun nodded, then lowered his head to look at the file.

Dan Yangzi sat aside.

The file is just a small stack.

The top one says that there was a man who had a dream in which he saw hairy fruits growing on the trees in the city.

When the fruits are ripe, the hair on them will peel off, revealing the little babies inside. The fragrance is so strong that people can't help but taste it.

And as long as they picked it and ate it, they would feel light and healthy when they woke up the next day, and all their illnesses would disappear. But when they saw the baby, they would smell an enticing aroma and want to eat it.

In the lower city of the capital, there are both ordinary people and people who practice Qi cultivation, and the same is true for those who practice Qi cultivation.

Moreover, the temptation was even greater, because after they ate the fruit in their dream, after waking up, they refined their Qi at an extremely fast speed, and they felt that their consciousness became more sensitive and pure.

When he saw the baby, it seemed as if a voice was telling him that if he ate him he would be able to practice faster, break through the bottleneck, and even build a foundation.

Within just three days, there were hundreds of people. The governor didn't know about it at first, but he reported it immediately after he found out. Zhao Fuyun arrived within just one day.

"Senior Brother Danyang, please take me to see those people." Zhao Fuyun said.

Danyangzi, who had been sitting quietly and drinking tea, stood up and said, "Okay, Junior Brother Zhao, follow me."

Although Dan Yangzi was at the foundation-building stage, he was helpless. He even worried that if he also entered that dream, he would not be able to escape, and whether he would also be lured into eating the human infant fruit.

The two of them soon came to a cell, where there were ordinary people and Qi Refiners, but no cultivators who had established their foundation yet.

"The ones on this side are the ones that entered the dream yesterday, and the ones in the innermost are the ones that entered the dream earliest."

Among those who had the dream yesterday, there were both Qi cultivators and ordinary people.

Ordinary people were filled with worry. When they saw Zhao Fuyun and Dan Yangzi coming in, they immediately asked, "Sir, what happened to us? Is there any evil spirit?"

Everyone knows that if so many people have the same dream one after another, there must be something wrong.

Dan Yangzi stretched out his hand and pressed lightly, obviously asking the other party to stop talking. Most of the Qi Refiners sat cross-legged there, but when Zhao Fuyun stared at them, they stood up one by one.

Because they felt a huge pressure from Zhao Fuyun, some even used their spiritual sense to probe, and they felt as if there was a flame and light condensed in front of them, so dazzling that tears immediately filled his eyes.

Such divine power is not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could possess. They immediately understood that this was a Purple Mansion cultivator. In their minds, being able to establish a foundation was already a great blessing, and being able to reach Purple Mansion meant being a half-step immortal cultivator.

In many people's minds, a lifespan of 500 years can be considered immortality, and everyone has a different understanding of immortality.

Zhao Fuyun was just feeling the energy from them.

Zhao Fuyun seemed to smell a hint of sweetness, the kind of sweetness that would whet his appetite.

Zhao Fuyun said nothing and continued walking back.

The group of people at the back were those who had already entered that strange dream twice.

Zhao Fuyun felt a stronger sweetness from them. The sweetness did not emanate from their bodies, but from their souls.

From this group of people, Zhao Fuyun felt that whether they were ordinary people or cultivators, their aura was weaker.

"Do you feel any discomfort in your body?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

No one answered for a moment, and the governor Dan Yangzi said, "Just tell the truth and say how you feel. Only then can the mountain people treat you."

After Danyang finished speaking, someone spoke up, "I don't feel unwell. After I fell asleep last night, I couldn't help but eat a fruit. I just felt that my mind was pure. I think I will be able to condense the mysterious light soon."

Zhao Fuyun nodded and continued walking inside.

The light in the cell was dim, unable to dispel the darkness inside.

As Zhao Fuyun went deeper, the light suddenly became brighter.

This group of people were the first to enter the dream and eat the human infant fruit, but in Zhao Fuyun's eyes, they looked gray.

Most of them were either lying or leaning there, as if they had no strength left or were in a coma.

Even when Zhao Fuyun and Dan Yangzi walked over, they didn't move at all, as if they didn't notice them at all.

The prison boss behind him immediately knocked on the prison door with a wooden stick and shouted loudly: "Wake up, wake up."

"Bang, bang, bang..." The wooden stick knocked on the prison door.

But all these people were asleep, some just rolled their eyelids and were not awake at all.

Zhao Fuyun asked the jailer to open the cell door, walked in, squatted down, and he smelled a rich fragrance.

Asked: "Can you smell the fragrance?"

Dan Yangzi was a little confused, shook his head and said, "No."

The prison boss also shook his head to indicate no.

Zhao Fuyun lifted the eyelids of the person in front of him, and the other person's eyeballs were covered with red veins. A light flashed in Zhao Fuyun's eyes, as if it was imprinted in the other person's eyes.

The talismans on his body had the power to destroy evil. When his eyes shone with fire, the other party was instantly awakened, as if waking up from a dream.

However, when he saw the people in front of him and the scene in the cell, fear appeared on his face, and he said, "Who are you, who are you, where is this?"

"Am I not attending the Immortal Master's Human Infant Fruit Banquet?"

Dan Yangzi next to him frowned and said, "You are dreaming."

"Oh, yes, this is in a nightmare. The Immortal Master said that if we eat the spiritual fruit created by heaven and earth, disaster will come upon us, and this disaster comes from dreams. You are all demons in the dream that come to block my path."

"I want to go back, I want to go back." The other person hugged himself, closed his eyes, and leaned against the wall. He fell asleep again very quickly. As to whether he had entered that dream again, no one knew.
