Chapter 1155 Saint

He was still very curious about this old man.

Hearing Li Zhirui's question, a trace of sadness appeared on the old man's face, and he said in a heavy tone: "The energy in my body comes from the endless resentment of countless tribesmen who have died at the mouths of monsters in the past thousands of years!"

"So if you want to use this power, you can't leave Hongshui State, otherwise you will lose the blessing of endless resentment floating in the world."

Li Zhirui was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect the source of this power to be so miserable and desolate.

If he hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, how could he have come up with such a method?

"This is a brand-new cultivation system, so please give me a copy. In return, I will save as many mortals as possible."

The old man looked straight at him for a long time before finally nodding in agreement and saying, "Then come in with me. The entire cultivation process is engraved on a stone wall."

"good."

The two walked into this simple house one after another and came to the north wall. When the old man pushed aside the wooden bed and cleared away the chores, Li Zhirui discovered that there was a tunnel leading to the ground below.

But the strange thing is that before he saw it, his spiritual consciousness did not realize that there was an underground space.

"Here is a treasure discovered by the clansmen that can block and deceive spiritual exploration." The old man seemed to know what Li Zhirui was going to ask and gave the answer in advance.

Then, he led him downstairs.

Not long after, the two of them appeared on a huge black stone wall. If you look closely, you will find that it is composed of stone slabs. It took many years of accumulation to form this stone wall.

In a daze, Li Zhirui seemed to see countless human resentful spirits on every stone slab. Their faces were twisted and ferocious, and their mouths were constantly closing, cursing those monsters.

The endless resentment seemed to want to devour him. As a last resort, Li Zhirui could only cast a ray of purification law to cover himself.

"Monk!"

"Damn monk!"

"Why don't you save us!"

"Get out! Get out of here!"

But unexpectedly, Li Zhirui's actions angered these resentful spirits. They roared and wailed crazily, and rushed toward him with majestic resentment and hatred.

Li Zhirui's face changed slightly, and he was about to fight back, but something seemed to have occurred to him, and the magic formula changed, completely erasing the person's aura and figure.

In this way, those grievances and hatreds no longer have an object to vent to, and they gradually dissipate.

After a while, Li Zhirui reappeared in the cave. He looked at the old man with a gloomy face and said, "Were you doing all that just now?"

"It seems that you do have some compassion for the rest of us."

The old man did not answer, and said to himself: "Next, you can rest assured to copy these methods, but I only have the most basic ones here, as well as the methods created in this gathering place. If you want to learn the methods from other places, then Let’s see if you can get the consent of the other elders.”

"Thank you."

Li Zhirui replied, his eyes quickly scanning the stone wall.

They had accumulated thousands of years of skills, and it only took him an hour to memorize them all.

And this was because Li Zhirui was worried that using his spiritual consciousness would cause him to be implicated by the resentful spirits and cause unnecessary trouble, otherwise it might not last even a quarter of an hour.

Before going out, he asked the old man a question out of curiosity, "How are you connected?"

Whether it is the stone tablet that the old man took out before or the basic methods here, it can be seen that the various human gathering places in Hongshui Prefecture are connected.

"There are records on the stone wall. Go and read it yourself." The old man said perfunctorily.

Hearing this, Li Zhirui stopped talking and planned to read it in detail when he went back. After all, he was just jotting down the information without understanding, and followed the old man out of the cave.

"National Master, we can go." Zhang Yi stepped forward quickly. He was afraid that if he took too long, he would be discovered by the monster at the gathering place.

"Let's go."

Li Zhirui said without looking back: "Take care of yourself, maybe you will leave alive one day."

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was talking to the old man. He wanted to say something, but found that the Imperial Master had already walked away, and quickly caught up with him.

‘In half a month, I will come back again, and then I will leave alone with a group of children. As long as you are not worried about being exposed and being noticed by the monsters, I can take them away safely no matter how large the number is. ’

This is a message that only the old man can hear.

"Oh!"

The old man stood there like a wooden stake for a long time, unable to see their figures at all, and then he slowly opened his mouth and said in a voice that no one could hear: "Teacher, this person is the person you predicted to be able to save us." A man of destiny?"

…

Soon, Li Zhirui saw a group of uncivilized savages covered in bark and leaves in front of them. At a rough glance, there were about five thousand people, most of whom were teenagers.

Not far away, there is a group of adult and elderly humans, with longing, expectation, and deep reluctance in their eyes.

These people who are about to leave should be their descendants who are still alive.

Zhang Yi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally swallowed his words. He could easily make promises and give them hope, but he himself didn't know when he would be able to fulfill them.

Because there are already enough people leaving this gathering place, if more people leave, they will be discovered by the monsters. If they are exposed before the Great Zhou Dynasty has the power to resist, they will not only implicate these mortals, but also the dynasty.

"Let's go!"

In the end, Zhang Yi could only spit out these two words.

Li Zhirui hid aside and used his spiritual sense to detect whether there were monsters around, while Zhang Yi arranged other generals to protect them separately.

The first journey was the most dangerous, because there were the most monsters nearby, and if a battle broke out, it was likely to attract the surrounding monsters, so if you can avoid it, avoid it. If you can't avoid it, you can only end the battle as quickly as possible.

Under the guidance of Li Zhirui, the group avoided several groups of beasts.

But in the end, they still failed to avoid it completely.

When passing by a stone peak, they were discovered by several birds!

In this case, Li Zhirui had to take action and pierce their hearts with the fastest and sharpest attack.

"Hurry up!"

If they walked a few dozen miles, they would reach an area where monsters were sparsely distributed, and the possibility of being discovered would be greatly reduced.

Everyone ran in a hurry, and Li Zhirui had to use his silent and concealing magic for them.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly afterwards, and no monsters were encountered again. A group of more than 5,000 people entered Wanjiazhou safely.

Here, there are special people to arrange and take care of those young people.

Officials such as Zhang Yi have been busy and running around for a month, and they can finally have a good rest for a while.

At the same time, another wave of officials responsible for smuggling also brought back more than 1,000 people by various means.

"It's still too slow!"

Wei Changming made a brief calculation. Even if both methods were used, the population would only increase by more than 10,000 in a month, and there would be risks of exposure.

"At least one million people are needed for the dynasty to barely have the power of the scattered fairyland, but it still cannot fight against the major forces around it, and it can't even protect itself."

And now, the Great Zhou Dynasty has only 700,000 to 800,000 people, which is still a big gap.

"Maybe we can buy people openly!" An official proposed a solution.

"This is a good idea!"

Many officials agreed.

Because in the Yuanling Realm, human trafficking is very common, and even an extremely popular business.

And not only mortals, but even monks can be sold. For example, if two sides fight and one side loses or is directly eliminated, the captives will be planted with restrictions and become slaves.

"The only problem is that there is not much money in the treasury to buy slaves on a large scale."

After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty has only been established for a few years, and there is no accumulation to speak of.

"Fifty miles north of the palace, there is a small and medium-sized gold and silver vein, and it is relatively easy to mine." Li Zhirui, who rarely spoke, solved this problem for them as soon as he opened his mouth.

Originally, he planned to use these gold and silver for the Great Zhou Dynasty's future external wars, but he didn't expect them to think of buying people to quickly increase the population. Li Zhirui thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so he said it in advance.

"At the same time, you should also consider establishing a real dynasty."

Although it is now called the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is actually just a name. It does not have the various abilities of the Humane Dynasty, and the various humane methods they practiced have not progressed smoothly because there is no suitable welcome.

The humane method can be practiced by itself, but with the support and blessing of a strong humane law network, it can basically be invincible at the same level.

But if it is not, then the strength will be much weaker than other paths.

"But what if it is exposed?"

"There will always be such a day, so it is better to increase your strength as much as possible before it is exposed."

The two factions argued endlessly in the hall, and no one could convince the other.

In the end, Wei Changming and Zhang Yi decided at the same time to formally establish a country!

Establishing a country!

In the humane method, it is a very important thing, so even if they are still very weak now, they must do it according to the regulations.

The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who were originally loose and idle, suddenly became very busy, especially Wei Changming and Zhang Yi. As the heads of civil and military affairs, the affairs they had to deal with suddenly increased.

However, this process is also a way to increase cohesion, improve one's own ability, and apply what one has learned to improve one's own cultivation.

Li Zhirui naturally would not participate in these trivial matters.

He re-entered Hongshuizhou alone, found the elder, and went to the appointment agreed before.

"I can only collect more than a thousand children, but I have notified several other gathering places. If possible, can you go to them?"

In order to allow more children to survive and live in a relatively happy environment since childhood, without having to suffer the hardships of their ancestors, the old man's attitude suddenly became much more humble.

Li Zhirui pondered for a moment and finally chose to agree.

If the Great Zhou Dynasty is unwilling to accept this group of children, at most he will spend a few days to return to the family and hand them over to the mortals in the territory to raise them.

"Tell me their locations."

The old man quickly took the stone slab that had been prepared long ago, on which simple lines were clearly marked the gathering places of the human race.

"There are more than fifty gathering places?!"

Li Zhirui had previously guessed that there were only thirty or forty, but he didn't expect there were so many.

"In fact, there are already more than a dozen gathering places that have been merged into other places after suffering heavy casualties in the war between monsters." The old man said in a tone of extreme sadness and calmness.

"Alas!"

Li Zhirui sighed and stopped talking about these sad things.

"Please follow me."

The old man was not affected at all. He took Li Zhirui to the more than a thousand children who had been arranged together. He just waved his hand and sent these children into the space.

"Take care."

Li Zhirui was about to leave immediately, but he didn't expect to be stopped by the old man.

"Can I take another look at those children?"

Li Zhirui raised his eyebrows, thinking that the old man didn't believe that he could take them away safely. With a thought, he took out dozens of children from the space.

"I don't know why you want to gather a large number of tribesmen, but I think this matter is very important to the Great Zhou Dynasty mentioned by the tribesmen before, and to you."

The old man looked at him with a resolute look and said, "So, I plan to persuade a group of old immortals to create a condition for you to take a large number of tribesmen away at one time."

Li Zhirui was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that the old man looked at whether the children were still alive, not because he doubted whether he could take them away, but through this scene, he made up his mind to fight with the demons and open up a whole new world for the younger generations.

"I don't know whether this can be done. If it's fast, maybe when you run around the gathering places, the local elders will tell you the answer. If not, you can only trouble you to come again in half a month."

After that, without giving Li Zhirui a chance to speak, he turned and left.

He stood there and looked for a long time. He really didn't expect that there was such a selfless and selfless saint. He flew to another gathering place with a dazed look.

On the other side, the old man came to the stone wall, muttering something in his mouth. Not long after, small spots of light appeared in front of him.

Each spot of light represents the elder of a gathering place.

And here, there are exactly fifty-seven spots of light, corresponding to all the gathering places.

"Grand Elder, can the monk you mentioned really lead the children smoothly?"

"Yes, I witnessed it with my own eyes."

This unprepossessing old man is the great elder of the human race in Hongshuizhou!

"Great! Those children who have not yet remembered will not have any memory of hell when they grow up."

"Yes! Maybe he is really the man of destiny who will save us in the words of the great elder!"

"Maybe we old immortals will also have a day to leave alive." (End of this chapter)
