Dao Fruit

Following the voice came a tall and upright figure with long hair flying in the wind.

This man was simply dressed in ragged clothes, but he had a sense of unyieldingness. His whole body was like a long sword, but his hands and feet were chained, and they collided with each other as he moved, making crisp sounds.

Wherever he walked, wherever the chain passed, a layer of white frost would condense on the vegetation.

It was the ripples in this man's heart that made Qiu Yan feel the connection between the inner demons. Then he tried to contact him, but found that it was difficult to make contact with that little seed. Because the tall man's heart seemed to be covered by iron ropes, with almost no gaps. !

Not only that, after being affected by the ripples of Qiu Yan's inner demons, the man's expression immediately changed. With his fingers hooked, a sword energy rushed out, and with a "click", he cut off any trace of the inner demons in the void. Got it!

"What a sharp sword! It can cut off even invisible inner demons, which shows that the thoughts in his heart are as tough as a sword. Even if the seeds of such a person's inner demons are passed on to his heart, as long as he has no thoughts of weakness, I can't kill him. It's just that the power he exerted is different from divine power, and it is not ordinary Qi. It is not ordinary in this land of relics. It was difficult to achieve at least five hundred years ago. It seems that here A lot happened."

With such thoughts, Qiu Yan did not try again. Instead, he lurked in the hearts of Wanghai Five Ghosts to accumulate strength. He knew that the main goal at this stage was to reach more people, cast a wide net, and remove the inner demons into pieces. Spread it out.

Fortunately, although the tall man known as the "Sword Master" has a strong will and extraordinary strength, his spiritual sense is not sharp. The reason why he was able to discover the tentacles of the inner demon was because Qiu Yan tried to contact the seeds in his heart. , there will be no subsequent impact.

However, Qiu Yan wanted to get close to the crowd as soon as possible. In the next few days, they failed to achieve their goals. The Five Ghosts and the Sword Master traveled quickly, crossing mountains and ridges. When they were thirsty, they went to the streams and rivers to drink water. When they were hungry, they caught game to eat. They ate and slept in the open air along the way.

During this period, we saw many jungle beasts and rarely saw strangers. Even if we saw one or two, they were hunters entering the forest and walking alone. Although Qiu Yan also shared some fragments of his inner demons to take root, but the thoughts of one or two people alone could not irrigate the growth of his inner demons.

"According to the changes in the power of time and space, my penetration time this time is limited. I don't know when I will be expelled. Before that, I have to accumulate enough strength as soon as possible. But in the current situation, the entry is too slow. I don't know when. It’s just a head, but you can learn a lot about this world from their mouths. Once the thoughts of the Wanghai Five Ghosts are completely penetrated by me, maybe there will be something to gain.”

A few days ago, the Wanghai Five Ghosts did not notice the existence of inner demons, nor did they find that their thoughts and thoughts were affected.

Actually. In this land of relics, cultivation is very difficult for various reasons. Not to mention paying attention to the spiritual mind, even if it is to temper the physical body, there are not many exercises to choose from. In this case, the existence of inner demons will naturally not be discovered.

In the past few days, Qiu Yan had used his thoughts to control the five people to ask a lot of questions to explore the truth and falsehood of the sword master.

Even the Five Ghosts of Wanghai didn't know much about this sword master. They only knew that this man was brought by Donghou and imprisoned in the city, under the supervision of the Five Ghosts.

At first, the sword master was weak and lost all his martial arts. Even a child could defeat him. But I don’t know when this cripple regained his skills, but he remained hidden until someone marched the Western Army towards Chaoluo and fought with him. When the news of the duel between King Daxin came, he suddenly came out of seclusion!

This release was earth-shattering. Not only did he escape from the prison, he also captured five people after a fierce battle with the Wanghai Five Ghosts and forced them to lead the way to the royal capital of Chaoluo. They had been there for many days. Because of this, You will meet Qiu Yan halfway.

"According to these people, King Da Xin is amazingly brave and has an extraordinary mind. Because he was unwilling to be enslaved by the gods, he angrily disobeyed the orders of the gods, which led to disaster. However, I don't know if he didn't want to be manipulated by others. , still dissatisfied with his subjects being slaves.

While listening to the conversation between several people, Qiu Yan also had his own thoughts. He knew that the current situation could be regarded as a kind of historical inertia. Many contents in the conversation between the Five Ghosts and the Sword Master might sound like ordinary words to others. But it fell into Qiu Yan's heart, and it allowed him to taste the profound meaning, and thus roughly understand the level of development of the abandoned land today.

"The current land of sloughs should use bronzes as the main tools. The use of bronzes not only improves production efficiency, but also liberates some people, allowing them to form a group of people who sit and eat. Simply put, it is the official birth of slave owners. ”

Qiu Yan is no stranger to slaves. Whether it is the abandoned land five hundred years ago, the grassland tribes in Donghua outside, or even the swamp tribes, there are slaves. The main source of them is the defeated tribes in the war. one party.

However, due to the low level of productivity and limited production tools in the abandoned land 500 years ago, both victors and defeated slaves had to engage in production activities, otherwise it would not be enough to support reproduction and inheritance, or even increase the population. All are therefore restricted.

At that time, the slaves still had personality, so they were in a situation like Su Ke Youhong. After losing to the Lianxi tribe, they increased their influence as a subordinate race.

But now, as a slave, the freedom of the body has been lost, and even the personality is almost gone. It is like becoming an object, with only the value extracted.

It is worth mentioning that from that conversation, Qiu Yan also noticed that between slaves and slave owners, there is a group of people called "livestock". This is an intermediate group of people, which can be regarded as free people, between exploiting others and being exploited.

"Once I have fully infiltrated the minds of the five people, I should be able to directly control them, and I can further intervene in this world, while hiding, collecting intelligence."

With this idea, on the fifth day, Qiu Yan finally got the opportunity to further strengthen his inner demon body - the five ghosts and the sword saint finally walked out of the jungle and came to a village.

To make the inner demon body strong, it is far from enough to rely on one's own realm. It also needs the thoughts and emotions of living beings as a supplement to accumulate strength. The more people infiltrated, the faster the inner demon grows, and it is not even limited to the cultivation of living beings. Even if it is just a weak boy, as long as the thoughts in his heart are complex enough, it can provide enough nutrients for Qiu Yan's inner demon body.

This is also the reason why Qiu Yan abandoned the lone wolf as soon as he found human traces. Wild beasts are ignorant and tend to follow their nature. Their thoughts are simple and single, and the ups and downs have limits on the growth of the inner demon.

However, even for humans, if the number of people is limited, the promotion of the inner demon body will be relatively slow.

In the villages and towns, there are a lot of people. Although the population in this era is not dense, it is better than the jungle. But when he really stepped into the villages and towns, Qiu Yan found that the help of the villagers to the inner demon was far beyond imagination. The fear, panic, fear, madness and other negative thoughts everywhere were like a hundred-year pure brew for the inner demon. Just absorbing some of them made the power of the inner demon body recover rapidly, from the simplest external demon power to the level that can support the manifestation of the demon head.

The whole village was in a mess, as if a strong wind had passed through. Dead bodies could be vaguely seen in many places. Most of the people living in this village were livestock, and they were usually stable. Who knew that a war would come.

"This place is very close to Chaoluo. It's obvious that they have just been robbed." The third ghost among the five ghosts licked his tongue and smiled when he saw the scene in the village.

The sword saint said nothing, raised his hand and waved it, and a sharp sword energy rushed out, cutting directly across the necks of the five ghosts.

Crash!

Blood gushed out, and the famous Wanghai Five Ghosts each covered their throats, knelt on the ground, with a look of horror and confusion on their faces, and then fell to the ground one after another.

The first ghost spoke with difficulty: "Master Sword Saint, we led you here and never neglected you along the way. Even if you were caught at the beginning, it was the East Marquis who did it. Why..."

The Sword Saint glanced at the five people with indifferent eyes: "Those who do evil should be killed! Those who are slaves should die! You are willing to be slaves, running for the East Marquis, and you have great evil in your heart. You saw the tragedy in the village and town, but you were indifferent. With such a heart, shouldn't you be killed?"

"Aren't you also indifferent? Can killing us, who have nothing to do with us, show your mercy?" Such a sentence was suppressed in the heart of the first ghost, but he never had the chance to say it again, but it appeared in Qiu Yan's consciousness.

The sudden death of the five people brought a little trouble to Qiu Yan, because the Sword Saint's heart was closed, and he didn't find any signs before. Fortunately, there were many people around, and the heart demon body was able to blend into them and maintain it.

"The sword saint can decide life and death with just his words..." Qiu Yan settled down again, and took advantage of the fear of the villagers to expand and spread the power of the inner demon. At this time, the sword saint had left, leaving only five dead bodies and even more frightened livestock.

Along with these emotions, the perception range of the inner demon body expanded, and the details gradually became visible, but Qiu Yan did not have much time to investigate. Instead, he had some doubts from the five ghost corpses.

"Where did the dead go? Why did the souls of these five people disappear after death?"

In this land of relic, the souls of living beings after death have a clear destination. They are all related to the sun in the sky. They are absorbed by the ancient god's relic. Even gods and monks can hardly intervene. Qiu Yan can use a ray of fire from the tenth day to interfere slightly, but the general trend cannot be changed.

But at the moment, after the death of these five ghosts, their souls are actually ethereal and traceless, which is quite weird.

After thinking for a while, Qiu Yan was about to explore further, when his mind suddenly shook, and he sensed a call from a well in the village.

"These are... two Heart Demon seeds! There are actually two seeds I planted in this village! And there are two of them!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
