Chapter 20 Can monsters be considered human?
Is Yang Ling afraid of the karmic relationship with Jade Ding Zhenren?
In the past, I would have been afraid.

After all, Jade Ding Zhenren is the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, and his master is Yuanshi Tianzun, who is famous for protecting his shortcomings.

If you dare to touch him, you will be in huge trouble!
Who knows, the leader of the Hunyuan Sect might even disregard his dignity as a saint and personally come out to seek redress for his disciple.

But if I don't do anything about it, will I let him take my child away?
As a parent, Yang Ling asked himself if he could remain indifferent.

So he teased Yu Ding and tricked him into going to Meishan.

Of course, he did not expect that the demon fairies in Meishan could pose a threat to Jade Ding Zhenren.

He did this just to delay time so that he would have the chance to rush back to Guanjiangkou and make arrangements in advance.

Another reason is that he needs some time to find a backer!
That’s right, it’s a backer!
He had heard a saying since he was a child: wherever there are people, there is the world of martial arts, and wherever there is the world of martial arts, there will inevitably be fighting, killing, and human relationships.

This sentence also applies to the primitive world.

If you want to live a comfortable and stable life in this primitive world where the strong prey on the weak, besides having great strength yourself, having a mountain to lean on is undoubtedly the best choice!

Yang Ling realized this very early on.

Ever since he discovered that there were gods and immortals in this world, he began to find ways to search for information related to the gods and immortals.

Through making inquiries from many sources and making deliberate friends regardless of money, he had recently established contact with some nobles in Chaoge.

From these nobles, he learned some semi-public secrets—there are many strange people in the officialdom of Da Shang!

Some of these strange people had incredibly powerful backgrounds, the most famous of them was the Grand Tutor Wen Zhong of the current dynasty!
This Grand Tutor Wen held a high position of power and influence. When the previous emperor passed away, he was appointed as an important minister to take care of the emperor's affairs. He was given the golden whip by the emperor and was used to beat the tyrants and corrupt officials.

Moreover, he himself is a third-generation inner sect disciple of Jiejiao, and he is a disciple of the Golden Spirit Mother, a direct disciple of the Jiejiao saint!

This identity means that he has an outstanding status in Jiejiao!
Yang Ling originally wanted to seek refuge with Master Wen, and then through Master Wen, get on board the ship of Jiejiao.

If they could become a core disciple, even if their family’s violation of Heavenly Rules was exposed, Heavenly Court probably wouldn’t dare to do anything to them!
But if you think about it carefully, the ship of Jiejiao is bound to sink during the great calamity of Conferred Gods!
But apart from Jiejiao, who else can he find as a backer?
In today's primitive world, the largest forces are the great religions founded by the four saints: Chan, Jie, Ren, and Xifang.

Although the Chan Sect and the Western Sect do not have many disciples, and the Human Sect has only one disciple, but they have saints in charge, which has destined them to have a transcendent status in the prehistoric world that no one dares to provoke!
Apart from the four great religions of saints, the next most powerful are the Heaven and the Underworld, which are built based on the Way of Heaven and the Way of Earth.

These two forces are considered to be formal official organizations.

Although in terms of strength and status, they cannot be compared with the great saints and sects, but at least in name, the thirty-three heavens above are under the control of Heaven, and the eighteen layers of the netherworld below are ruled by the Underworld!
Even the disciples of the saintly sects have to give a little face to the Heaven and the Underworld on a daily basis.

At least that's how it looks on the surface.

Below the Heaven and the Underworld are the immortals of West Kunlun, the earth immortals of Wuzhuang Temple, the monsters of Beiming Palace, the Asura Cult of the Netherworld Blood Sea and other forces.

These forces all have top-level powerful people as their leaders.

The so-called top power refers to the strongest person under the leader saint!
They either achieved the Hunyuan Wuji Dao Fruit or made achievements in beheading the Three Corpses, and they are only one step away from becoming a saint.

Therefore, they are also honored as quasi-saints!

But even these quasi-saints are nothing more than ants in the eyes of saints.

In this era when the saints hold the power over heaven and earth, even if they are quasi-saints, they can only hide in one place and turn a blind eye even if the world turns upside down.

In this situation, it is obviously unrealistic to expect a quasi-saint to provide protection for oneself.

Yang Ling thought hard, and it seemed that there were not many forces for him to choose from.

The only ones who can protect his family are the saintly religion, heaven and underworld.

The Chan and Jie sects must be excluded first.

The former wanted to use his son to ward off disaster, while the latter himself was a huge source of disaster.

Heaven and Hell are not suitable either.

There are rules in heaven, and if their family goes there, they will be walking into a trap; and the underworld is the place of the dead, where there is no light, the environment is harsh, and it is not suitable for living people.

Therefore, there are only two forces that are truly suitable for him to join.

One is human religion, the other is Western religion.

However, ever since the founding of the Human Religion by Saint Taiqing, countless people have wanted to join the Religion, but all were blocked outside Mount Daluo and were unable to enter.

The Western Church was located in the desolate and remote Xiniu Hezhou, which was a long way off. By the time he arrived there, the opportunity would have been lost.

After much thought, Yang Ling felt that he should still focus on human education.

If the "great master" who gave him the Qi-refining technique was really Xuan Du, then he had a good start!

Even if he doesn't join the Human Religion, he only needs to maintain a good relationship with Master Xuandu, which is enough to deter some people with bad intentions!
……

Under Yunhua's deliberate control, the pleasure boat arrived at Guanjiangkou just at dawn.

Yin Shi Niang was worried about her old father at home, so she said goodbye to Li Jing and left, and agreed to visit Yang's house another day. After returning home, Yun Hua was eager to make the elixir.

Yang Ling did not stop him either.

Based on his understanding of his wife's alchemy skills, the possibility of her refining a top-grade elixir like the Shenhua Pill in a short period of time is infinitely close to zero.

After Yunhua went to the alchemy room, Yang Ling locked himself in the room and thought for a long time before leaving the house alone.

The sun is rising.

This summer morning is still cool.

Yang Ling silently recited the name of the great wizard in his heart, and a sense of induction arose in his mind, prompting him to come to a bluestone bridge in the east of the city.

A young fortune teller was standing under the bridge. He was wearing a loose green robe, had a handsome and elegant face, and looked a bit like a weak scholar.

Next to him was a green cloth banner with two lines of large characters written on it:

Mark the yin and yang and cut off the five elements, look at the sun and moon in the palm of your hand.

Test Feng Shui and explore the world, and you will know the secrets of the world.

The banners fluttered in the wind, making rustling sounds, and looked very imposing.

Although there were many people passing by, few stopped to look, and no one was interested in the simple fortune-telling stall.

However, the young fortune teller was not in a hurry at all. He just sat cross-legged quietly in the shadow of the stone bridge, watching the people coming and going on the street with his eyes open.

Yang Ling walked forward and bowed with a smile.

"It seems that the business here at the Grand Mage is not very good. Do you want to consider changing places?"

Xuan Du withdrew his gaze from the crowded streets and shook his head, "This place is already good. Here I can see the fate of many people..."

Having said that, his eyes fell on Yang Ling, and his two slightly delicate eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

"Did you kill someone?"

"no!"

Yang Ling denied it flatly, without hesitation.

Xuandu's frown deepened.

He stared at Yang Ling carefully for a long time before he slowly said, "You can't hide it from me... There is a faint blood energy lingering around you, you must have killed more than one person!"

Yang Ling still shook his head.

"It's not that I'm hiding this from you, I just have some doubts..."

"Can monsters be considered human?"

Xuan Du was slightly stunned, then slowly nodded.

"That's true. Monsters can't be considered human."

Hearing this, Yang Ling's heart skipped a beat.

He knew he made the right bet.

There is a deep blood feud between the human race and the demon race.

In that era when demons ruled the sky and witches controlled the earth, the human race had just gained a foothold in the wilderness when they were slaughtered by the demons.

Overnight, hundreds of millions of humans became food for blood!
Although a long time has passed and the once powerful demon race has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history, the human race has never forgotten this tragic history.

Hatred runs in the blood!

To the extent that in the human territory, the demons are like rats crossing the street, and everyone wants to kill them. There are even Qi cultivators who make a living by hunting demons, forming a profession called Demon Catcher.

As the first human ancestor created by Nuwa herself, and having personally experienced that tragic history, it is difficult for Master Xuandu to forget the unforgettable hatred.

However, the great magician Lingbao of the Chan sect was not of human origin, so he probably wouldn't be able to empathize with him as well.

Therefore, when the great wizard said that "monsters cannot be considered human beings", Yang Ling had already confirmed his identity.

Its name——

Xuandu!
