Chapter 130 World Restrictions
Azhenpo skillfully divided the sandalwood into four portions, and the other three took one portion each without hesitation. They did not light it, but just carefully placed it under their noses and took a deep breath. They immediately felt as if they were floating in the air, and even tears were about to come out.
This is an enjoyment, a touching moment, and even more of a blessing.
It is not easy to practice immortality. It seems that one can practice on one's own and rely on incense and candles. But in fact, apart from those ancestors, there are very few who can be said to have achieved something.
First of all, the general environment is like this. Since the Qing Dynasty, the number of people who have become spirits and awakened their intelligence has become fewer and fewer, let alone practicing. In a few decades, I am afraid that there will be no more spirits.
It is for this reason that immortals who achieve enlightenment with the help of incense and burning candles have become the mainstream today.
But incense is poisonous, and immortals are not real gods. If you don't know what is good for you and swallow it, sooner or later you will be harmed by the incense, and you will go crazy if you don't die.
Immortals like Azhenpo who intend to follow the right path dare not expand their faith blindly, for fear that they will be poisoned by the incense before they can achieve the right result. Immortals who go out to work are even more carefully selected, for fear of causing disasters and troubles.
Even so, the poison from the incense in his body had accumulated over time and was like a thorn in his throat, and he was afraid that it would explode one day.
There are many tribulations in the practice of immortals. In addition to the tests from heaven and earth, the main one is the poison from incense.
The sandalwood provided by Yan Xu, because it was mixed with pure incense, could be used to dissolve the incense poison in the body. No wonder several immortals lost their composure like that.
"Since the young man wants to enforce justice, we will lend him a helping hand and kill all the evil people in the city!" Dog Master, wearing a melon-shaped hat and a long jacket, stood up, drank the bone soup in the tea bowl handsomely, and said in high spirits.
"My family has countless descendants, spread all over the Demon City. None of these evil people can escape their research." Mr. Huang narrowed his black eyes and said with a sinister smile.
"Haha, all you can find are small characters. You have to rely on me, Bai Jiaojiao, to deal with those evil guys who are mixed up in the upper class." Bai Jiaojiao, the top singing and dancing queen in Magic City, covered half of her face with a fan, revealing a pair of charming big eyes that moved people's hearts and said confidently.
"Alright, alright, these are just small matters. Don't forget, you are the one chosen by Saint Lord Guan. Killing is not the purpose, training is." Azhen Po hurriedly persuaded, fearing that they would do something irrational and ruin the other party's training. When Saint Lord Guan blamed them, not to mention them, several ancestors would have to apologize as well.
"Yes, killing is not the purpose, experience is. Besides, we don't know who those people hired. If you get tricked by mistake, there will be big trouble." Dog Lord patted his head to calm himself down, and then said.
After these words were spoken, several immortals fell silent.
If he could get along well with Yan Xu, he wouldn't dare to ask for a long-term supply of this sandalwood. Just using a handful at a critical moment would be enough to reduce the power of the disaster by one or two levels. This could be the difference between life and death, so he couldn't get into trouble, let alone die.
The immortals looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts, so they dispersed and made preparations.
I don't know how many people he killed, but he didn't put his sword back into its sheath until the end of the month. He also gave the Seven Wolves a long vacation, letting them go out and relax, find women, and get rid of the bloody smell as soon as possible. Yan Xu also began to prepare to return to the modern world.
This action earned Yan Xu more than 300 merit points, but what he valued was not the points, but the recognition of his actions, the recognition that his killing was correct and just.
Yan Xu wanted to sigh, but found that he did not feel like sighing, because his thoughts and ideas were getting further and further away from those of normal people.
After realizing his own thoughts, Yan Xu wanted to stop because his previous habitual thinking made him afraid of such changes. But now he didn't know why he had to stop. The inner conflict made him feel a little depressed.
Compared to Yan Xu's entanglement and affectation, the Seven Wolves seem to be heartless, because they have seen more cruel and brutal things, and have long been accustomed to them, so they take the generous dividends and rewards during this period and go to other places to have fun.
After returning to the modern world, Yan Xu welcomed a new round of rest days, but it was very short because he was about to start the war to unify the sub-islands and needed to prepare enough supplies, so he didn't even have time to adjust his mentality and started making phone calls.
First of all, there was a large amount of old grain. Because the feed factory could not use so much, Yan Xu specially rented some warehouses in other places, had people transport the grain to certain places, and then secretly took it away.
He is the one who does the buying and selling anyway, so if the grain goes missing, people will just think that he sold it instead of suspecting that he smuggled it to another world and exchanged it for living people.
The same was done for compressed biscuits and canned food, but the most important thing was the 2,000 flintlock props and a large amount of lead bullets, as well as a large number of iron cannons, which filled half of the factory building and looked like an arsenal. To be honest, it was only because Yan Xu had his own hardware processing factory and he had been laying the groundwork before that he would have been reported.
Even so, Yan Xu had to find a way to cover it up, so he made a phone call.
"Director Ma, I'm Xiaoxu."
"Nothing else, I just plan to make a movie about Qi Jiguang fighting against Japanese pirates."
"Yes, it's a small production. I invested my own money and just filmed it for fun."
"Can you recommend me a suitable candidate?"
"Okay, the person who can be your assistant director must be an extraordinary person. Please assign a team to me and we can start shooting right away."
After the call, Yan Xu breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled bitterly.
Spending hundreds of thousands to shoot a movie that is destined not to be released is obviously a huge loss, but there is no other way. He said every day that he was making props for the crew, but no one had ever seen it with their own eyes, so he simply pulled a crew to the local area to shoot a movie so that people could see it with their own eyes.
It doesn't matter how the filming goes, as long as he can use all the things he made before. In this way, the things he made as props before are real.
After simply dealing with the matters at hand, Yan Xu returned to the pig farm, carried a large amount of supplies through the bronze gate, and successfully arrived in the Japanese world.
Without waiting to return to Guimaruyama Castle, Yan Xu opened the box and took out the guns he had brought from the late Qing Dynasty world. He tried them one by one, but all of them misfired.
"Sure enough." Yan Xu sighed and put down the Swedish M1851 Kamerlaer rifle that had just fired a bullet.
Although the Kamerlade rifle uses a percussion cap to ignite, it still uses cardboard to load ammunition. The rear chamber at the bolt position needs to be opened, propellant needs to be poured into the raised chamber, and then the bullet is stuffed in. Finally, the percussion cap needs to be reset and loaded. To put it bluntly, it is still a kind of musket, but the structure is more advanced.
It was this musket that had been eliminated in the world at the end of the Qing Dynasty that fired here, while none of the other pistols, rifles, or shotguns could be used.
Next, Yan Xu tried the electrical appliances and other modern products he brought, but none of them worked. Only products with simple materials and mechanical structures could be used normally.
This is something Yan Xu discovered after the system was upgraded to an advanced level, the upper limit of the Japanese world.
Yan Xu guessed that the Japanese world was not the real world, or not a complete world.
According to the West, it is a demiplane, and the East is a small world, which means that the entire world is only as big as Japan.
No wonder he couldn't leave the area of Japan. He had only heard of the legendary Central Plains Kingdom but had never seen it. At the same time, except for a small amount of goods from the Central Plains, he had never seen a Central Plains merchant. The so-called Central Plains Kingdom was just a background board.
There was no such restriction in the world at the end of the Qing Dynasty. As long as Yan Xu wanted, he could go anywhere in the world.
Another piece of evidence is merit.
Incense is produced by humans, while merit is produced by heaven and earth. A world that cannot even produce merit is obviously incomplete.
