Chapter 220 The Paper Man Puppet is Triggered
When Kong Ziyun saw his father kneeling, he also walked over and knelt in front of Luo Mingyue.
"Master, I am also willing to be your believer."
Luo Mingyue looked helpless. "I founded the Mingyue Sect, not the Mingyue Cult. I don't need believers. What's more, we have a contractual relationship... If you really want to thank me, please help me take care of these villains, especially those who can see us. Pay special attention to them."
As he spoke, Luo Mingyue used his spiritual power to gently lift up the Peacock father and daughter who were kneeling on the ground, and said, "Don't kneel anymore."
"Yes, Master." Kong Quelan wiped the tears from his face and explained, "I was just too excited just now and couldn't control my emotions..."
Luo Mingyue didn't say anything, her eyes were fixed on Kong Quelan with a deep gaze.
Kong Quelan felt a little embarrassed when being stared at. He asked, "Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that..."
Luo Mingyue came back to her senses and said, "It's okay, I was just distracted. I just suddenly felt that your emotions were so strong... I just killed someone and you were so excited that you cried."
Kong Quelan's face turned red, and he said awkwardly: "Actually, I am usually very stable, but today is an exception..."
Luo Mingyue said: "I don't mean to blame you, I just sighed casually, because since I can remember, I have never had such a big emotional fluctuation. Even if my parents abandoned me and left me with a lot of debts, I didn't feel much sadness or anger..."
"What?" Kong Quelan was surprised. "Master, you were abandoned by your parents?"
Kong Ziyun said: "Your parents are really... weird. They abandoned such an excellent child like you?"
Kong Ziyun originally wanted to say that Luo Mingyue’s parents were “cold-blooded and heartless”, but after thinking about it, he realized that they were his master’s parents after all, so he had to maintain basic respect for them, so he used the word “strange” to describe them instead.
Luo Mingyue said: "Yes, my parents borrowed a lot of money... Spiritual stones, and they didn't want to pay it back, so they ran away, leaving me to pay the debt..."
Ye Keke said angrily: "This is too much! Is it troublesome to bring one more person with you when you escape?"
Kong Quelan pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that immortal cultivators are indeed indifferent to their bloodline descendants. Mortals cannot live forever, so they focus on the continuation of their bloodline and raising their descendants from generation to generation, which can be regarded as a different kind of immortality. But immortal cultivators are different. Their lifespans are generally long, and they can have many children in their lifetime. Losing one occasionally is not a big deal..."
"Moreover, the process of giving birth for mortal women is difficult and painful, and there is a certain risk to their lives. Immortal cultivators have good physiques, so giving birth is relatively easy and not so painful, but it is more difficult for strong people to get pregnant..."
Ye Keke said: "Even if you don't love your child, you can't leave a huge debt for your child, right? I can't imagine how the master has worked his way up from the bottom of society. How pitiful the master must have been when he was young and helpless..."
Luo Mingyue's heart was not too shaken. She said, "It's not that bad actually. I just eat very bland food every day and try to save as much as possible..."
Later, he traveled through a book and stood directly at the pinnacle of the world of immortal cultivation, doing whatever he wanted.
Kong Han asked: "Master, your parents never came back to look for you after hearing that the Mingyue Sect was famous all over the world?"
Luo Mingyue said: "No."
Luo Mingyue was talking about her "previous life" in modern times, where she was abandoned by her parents. Now that she has traveled through a book, it is of course impossible for her parents to come looking for her, but her contracted beasts don't know this.
“Master…” Song Lu’s face was filled with distress. He had never thought that his master was so powerful, yet he had such an experience. “No wonder the master always cared about making sure the people in the village were well fed and clothed. It turned out that the master himself had been hungry, so he wanted everyone else to have enough to eat…”
"Okay, each of you looks more sad than me. I've stopped being sad a long time ago." Luo Mingyue said as she put away Jun Meixing's head and took out a white chess piece from the storage space. This chess piece was given to her by the leader of Xuanxing Sect to serve as a communication tool.
Luo Mingyue input his spiritual power into the white chess piece.
……
Xuanxing Gate.
Qi Zixing frowned and was deducing the future.
"It's really strange. A long time ago, I had a nightmare. After waking up, I couldn't remember the specific content of the nightmare, but I had a feeling that a disaster was about to happen. Later, after deduction, I found that there will be a great disaster in the future of the immortal cultivation world. The disaster will cover everyone, even the sleeping big demons and the immortal cultivators who live in seclusion. They will not be spared."
"Disasters can obscure the secrets of heaven and make a person impulsive. As the saying goes, 'Those involved are confused, but those who are on the sidelines can see clearly'. This is not just talk. A trap that can be seen at a glance at ordinary times will be affected when disaster strikes, and people will become greedy and impulsive, and eventually jump into the trap on their own initiative..."
"But last night, I actually dreamed that the dark clouds that shrouded the world of immortal cultivation were slowly dissipating, indicating that the calamity would also disappear into thin air... How is this possible?"
Qi Zixing is obsessed with divination. He thinks fate is the most magical thing. He likes to tell fortunes whenever he has time. He also often has predictive dreams, and after waking up he likes to study this aspect even more.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that something in his sleeve was slightly hot.
Qi Zixing took it out and saw that it was a black chess piece. He input his spiritual power into it and asked, "Is it Sect Master Luo?"
A cool and pleasant voice came from the other side, "Yes, it's me."
Qi Zixing asked: "Master Luo, is there anything you need help with? As long as I can help, I will do my best."
Luo Mingyue replied: "I'm not asking for your help. You showed me a portrait before. The man in the portrait was very handsome. You said that handsome man killed your disciple... Today I killed the man in the portrait and specially informed you."
"He's dead?" Qi Zixing was shocked at first, then his eyebrows lit up with joy. He said, "Thank you, Sect Master. It must have taken a lot of effort for you to kill him. The man's method of escaping was very clever..."
Luo Mingyue said in a strange tone: "He didn't escape. He was near my sect at the time. He was seriously injured and extremely weak. I took advantage of that opportunity to take care of him."
"Uh?"
Qi Zixing had long noticed that Luo Mingyue was unusual, but he had never expected that she would be able to kill Jun Meixing so easily. He was filled with emotion for a moment, "Sect Master Luo, I suddenly feel that the gap between people is really too big. Some people can't achieve their goals even if they try their best, while some people can easily get everything others want..."
Luo Mingyue asked, "Are you praising my good fortune?" Qi Zixing said, "The Sect Master's fortune is indeed very good."
Luo Mingyue said: "It's OK. Actually, my daily life is very simple. I just feed my pets. Master Qi, don't underestimate yourself. You have too many disciples and too many trivial matters. It's not easy to teach so many disciples. I only have ten disciples, but the master-disciple relationship seems to be rather weak..."
Qi Zixing said: "It is a blessing to be your apprentice."
Luo Mingyue flattered him casually, just treating it as business nonsense. After that, he said, "Do you want that man's body? I'm going to give the head to my contracted beast, but I can give you the body."
"Thank you, Sect Master Luo. The income from the sale of the [Mind Concentrating Mirror] is about to arrive. The next time we meet, I will give you the spiritual stones you earned, and you will give me the body."
"Ok."
Luo Mingyue hung up the phone and was about to take a look at what the little people were doing when she suddenly felt that one of the puppets she had sent out before had sent out a signal for help.
"I don't know who is in danger."
This thought flashed through Luo Mingyue's mind. After all, there were too many paper figures given out, and she did not mark them one by one, so she could not tell who was asking for help.
Luo Mingyue greeted the contracted beasts, and then teleported away instantly following the connection between herself and the paper puppet.
……
Shacheng.
In this city, the strong are respected. There is a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage as the city lord. The city lord also has a particularly powerful guard team. This team wears armor and masters a combined attack formation. Their power is comparable to that of the Golden Core stage.
The city lord stipulated that if there were conflicts between the cultivators in the city, private fighting was not allowed. There were multiple life and death arenas in the city, as well as an underground city. Anyone who wanted to fight could go to the life and death arena to resolve the problem.
As for the dungeon, there are no rules at all. People can do whatever they want, and the City Lord's Mansion does not care at all.
Therefore, many cultivators die in the dungeon every day, and mortals are also trafficked in the dungeon.
These mortals were not captured from the human world, but there were many mortals living in the world of immortal cultivation itself. There originally was a family in Shacheng with the surname Zhang. The Zhang family was second only to the City Lord's Mansion. The head of the Zhang family liked to take young and beautiful concubines, and these concubines gave birth to many children for him. Most of the children had no spiritual roots, and the head of the Zhang family did not recognize these children without spiritual roots as his heirs. Gradually, this group of mortals without spiritual roots married and had children with mortals from other families, and reproduced from generation to generation. These mortals became maids and servants in the family, but they were essentially the blood of the head of the Zhang family. Therefore, once these maids and servants gave birth to children with spiritual roots, their identity and status would change immediately. If the children were promising, the status of their parents in the family would be greatly improved.
A few days ago, the head of the Zhang family died, and the entire family fell apart. This was because when the head of the Zhang family was alive, he had offended many people, and many of his beautiful concubines were obtained through coercion and inducement. Once he died, many concubines fled, and those mortals who were maids and servants were in trouble. Without the protection of the immortal cultivators, they could only find their own ways to retreat. Many mortals were deceived into the underground city.
Mu Lingyan and his fellow junior brothers and sisters settled in Shacheng.
Moreover, they were all unlucky. They were targeted by the city lord's children just a few days after entering the city.
The city lord has three sons and three daughters. These six children are more favored. As for the other children who have no spiritual roots, they have died of old age. There are some cultivators among his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but their qualifications are not as good as those of the city lord's children.
Since the path to becoming an immortal is difficult, many people realize that their spiritual roots are fixed in this life and their cultivation level increases slowly, so they will find other hobbies, such as refining pills, making talismans, refining equipment, raising contracted beasts, etc. Some people are keen on reproducing, hoping to produce excellent offspring.
Mu Lingyan and his group all have single spiritual root qualifications, outstanding looks, and are the "protagonists" in the novel. No matter where they go, they attract attention.
The city lord's eldest daughter likes Mu Lingyan and his third junior brother Mo Xiguang.
The city lord's eldest son fell in love with the twin sisters Yun Xiangsi.
The city lord's youngest son wants to become a Taoist partner with Bai Tian.
Among them, the city lord's youngest son is more domineering. He wants to secretly capture Bai Tian and force love on her, but because Bai Tian's senior brothers and sisters are also interested in him, and they will be a family in the future, he cannot do anything too excessive, so he has been enduring.
In Shacheng, Mu Lingyan and others deeply realized how evil human hearts are.
However, Mu Lingyan did not think of asking his master for help. After all, everyone goes out to gain experience. If they call on the "parents" to help when they encounter difficulties, then what is the point of gaining experience? It would be better to stay in the sect.
Mu Lingyan and the other four have lived in Sha City for a while. They have become accustomed to seeing dead people and have begun to adapt to the cruel environment of the immortal cultivation world.
What worries everyone is that the children of the City Lord's Mansion are all very difficult to deal with. Due to the fact that the City Lord's Mansion is very powerful, Mu Lingyan cannot openly confront them and can only find ways to deal with them.
At this time, everyone realized more clearly how comfortable the cultivation environment that Master had provided was.
In the process of getting along, Mu Lingyan gradually discovered a problem, that is, his junior sister Bai Tian, seems to have a little bit of a strange personality. She is hostile to the opposite sex. This hostility is very subtle and cannot be felt at all at the beginning of contact, but after a long time, you will find that Bai Tian loves beautiful women and is very tolerant of the same sex.
Of course, Bai Tian would not turn hostile towards the opposite sex, but she would always deceive them. If a woman damaged Bai Tian's things, Bai Tian would be very tolerant most of the time and would not care about it, but if it was a man, Bai Tian would ask him to compensate.
Bai Tian also became good friends with the city lord's daughter and got a lot of information out of her.
Mu Lingyan also secretly asked Bai Tian whether she liked women and not men.
In this regard, Bai Tian said, "Is love the only thing between people? I have friendship for women, and this kind of friendship is very pure. I just want to be good friends with each other, not to sleep together. As for men... I used to be a maid in a wealthy family in the human world. I was used to seeing men with three wives and four concubines. I also saw the mistress of the house crying. I heard that she and the master supported each other since they were young, and it was not easy all the way. But the master's room still added young girls one after another. The master said that no matter how many new people there are in this mansion, he will always love his main wife the most, but I didn't feel much love from his behavior. He just said it..."
"So, I really don't have a good impression of men. The situation in the world of immortal cultivation is slightly better. Most people practice monogamy, but there are exceptions. For example, the head of the Zhang Mansion is hundreds of years old, but he still snatched an 18-year-old Qi Refining Stage girl as his concubine. How shameless..."
Mu Lingyan said: "The children of the Zhang family master are also very romantic. The sons also like to marry wives and concubines, and the daughters usually look for husbands. It is said that the Zhang family master has a favorite daughter, and that daughter has a total of five husbands... It seems that as long as the spiritual roots are good, regardless of gender, they will be valued."
The white dessert agreed.
Several people temporarily settled in Shacheng, but today, Bai Tian was led to the entrance of the dungeon by a man in black. Bai Tian had never been to the dungeon before and did not recognize the entrance. After entering the dungeon, she encountered danger, so she triggered the paper puppet on her body.
