Chapter 289 Immortal Family Employment
The immortals seem to be doing well, but in fact they are just struggling to survive.
The essence of immortals is demons, demons that devour the sky and the earth and roam freely between heaven and earth. However, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually fades, it becomes increasingly difficult to support the traditional methods of demon cultivation. Therefore, some demons who know how to be flexible choose to accumulate good deeds while gathering incense to fill the lack of spiritual energy, which is another way out.
But it was okay in the early days. Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had faded, there was still a lot. If you fill it up a little, you can transcend with years of accumulation.
However, as we enter the Dharma Ending Age, only one tenth of the spiritual energy remains. In the past, incense and burning only served to fill the gap, but now they have become the main component.
This is troublesome. Monsters are monsters and gods are gods, and the two cannot be confused. Therefore, as the proportion of incense increases, a number of immortals suffer from the poison of incense.
The worst thing is that the more incense accumulates, the greater the impact on the immortal's essence. When the immortal completely loses himself, the physical body will disappear, and the soul can only attach to the statue of the god, turning into a somewhat magical clay statue.
Therefore, what the immortals seek in their lives now is nothing more than to escape the fate of death and seek a chance for transcendence. So when she heard that the opportunity was right before her, Azhen Po could no longer sit still.
"I have been cooperating with you immortals for a long time, and I can't bear to see you end up like that. But it is not easy for you to leave with me." Yan Xu shook his head and said.
"No matter how difficult it is, it is better than waiting to die. Please give me a way to live." Azhenpo stood up, bowed deeply, and said firmly.
She didn't ask about the price, not because she didn't know the price, but because she had already decided to give everything, so there was no need to say more.
Yan Xu didn't say anything, he just opened the bronze door, brought in several Shikigami from the Japanese world, and then spoke.
"Can you see that door?" Yan Xu asked this question with the intention of giving a chance to several familiar immortals and also to test how secretive the bronze door was.
"No, but it is true that you can leave this world, no, it is true that you can travel freely between this world." Azhenpo could not see the bronze door, nor could she sense it, but the Shikigami that appeared could not escape her perception, especially the aura that was different from this world that was revealed for a moment, which made him deeply impressed.
"If you want to leave this world, you must sign a contract with me like these Shikigami." Yan Xu was afraid that Azhenpo would misunderstand him, and was about to explain it carefully. Unexpectedly, Azhenpo was more decisive than he thought.
"The road to immortality in this world has been cut off. Since you are willing to give us a chance to live, there is no reason for us to be picky. I am willing to sign this contract." Azhenpo said it firmly, without any regret at all.
"Azhenpo, you can discuss this matter with the other immortals first. If they are willing, Azhenpo and I will leave first." Yan Xu did not mean to catch all the immortals in one fell swoop, but asked Azhenpo to help the other immortals explore the way first.
After Yan Xu said this, Azhenpo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She just agreed decisively, firstly because she believed in Yan Xu's character, and secondly because, as she said, the immortals' way of survival was cut off, and now every day was just a struggle to survive.
But taking risks alone is always better than taking risks together. After all, no matter how much trust you have, sometimes you have to be prepared for the worst.
Several immortals gathered together again. Compared with the past, this time their faces were much more solemn, but their eyes revealed a bit of hope and relief.
"When the master first came, I knew he was no ordinary person. There was a divine light shining from the top of his head, making the master look like a fairy. Today I know that the master is from the upper realm and has come down to the mortal world to travel. No wonder my good grandson's cultivation level increased soared after he followed the master for a short time. It must be because he was blessed with fairy spirit." Master Huang stroked his short beard and said proudly.
Although Azhenpo was the first to contact Yan Xu, it was Mr. Huang who had the most and deepest contact with Yan Xu. He had many descendants, not only in the city, but also in the surrounding areas. Therefore, he was the most informed, so he cooperated with Yan Xu a lot, otherwise he would not have accepted Xiao Zuanfeng. The other immortals present were speechless about Mr. Huang's boasting, but if what that adult said was true, it was indeed worth boasting about, because among the immortals, only Mr. Huang's descendant Xiao Zuanfeng served under that adult, so this relationship was not ordinary.
Thinking of this, even Azhenpo felt a little regretful. She also had several good juniors in the Magic City, and she would have sent them there earlier.
Unfortunately, it's too late now, and it seems too deliberate. If rejected, both parties will be embarrassed and can only watch Mr. Huang showing off.
"Okay, just say a few words." Dog Master was so sick of the bone soup that he couldn't drink it anymore. He knocked on the table and got to the point.
"You are just jealous." When Mr. Huang Ba saw that everyone was glaring at him, he muttered and then shut up, fearing that he would anger everyone.
"It is very likely that this is true, because the adults have no reason to lie to us, and there is no need to do so." Azhenpo was the person involved and the first person to make the decision. She spoke at this time.
"Well, to the evil cultivators, we immortals are almost like a panacea. However, that lord is favored by the two great gods and has accumulated a huge amount of good deeds by governing an area. He will not lose the big picture for the small, so we can rest assured." Lord Dog touched the cold tea bowl, drank the bone soup in it, and continued with determination.
"I think I can give it a try."
"I also think it's worth a try, but it's a pity that the master already has a fox demon by his side. Otherwise, I would also be complaining." Bai Jiaojiao said unhappily.
Since they had reached an agreement, Azhenpo did not waste any time and found a day to sign a contract with Yan Xu.
Yan Xu also swore in front of the statue of Guandi that he would not treat him as a slave, nor would he take away his cultivation. He also took the initiative to talk about some treatment, making it like an induction ceremony, which made several immortals who were watching nodded secretly. The character of this General Yan was indeed as reliable as the rumors said.
After explaining everything, Yan Xu left without any reluctance and headed for the Ming Dynasty world.
As soon as she arrived in Daming, Azhenpo took a deep breath, feeling as if she had just come out of an Internet cafe where she had stayed overnight and breathed the first breath of air in the morning.
A Zhenpo exhaled in one breath, which was mixed with countless yellow smoke and black flames. These were the incense poison that had accumulated in her body over the years. After leaving her world and being free from the constraints of rules, she took the opportunity to spit out most of it.
However, it is impossible to spit it out all in one breath. The poison from the incense has already penetrated into Azhenpo's bone marrow and soul. Unless her soul is destroyed, it cannot be completely cleaned out. This is the harm of incense.
Therefore, serious immortals will not recruit believers on a large scale to absorb incense. At the same time, they will actively accumulate good deeds to neutralize the poison of incense.
As her illness was mostly cured, Azhenpo, feeling refreshed, couldn't stop smiling.
Although the spiritual energy here is not very sufficient, it is far purer than the original world. This is enough. What immortals lack is never time, but environment.
