The Taoist priest wearing a jade crown and feathered clothes walked high in the sky on the white clouds, his eyes shining with mysterious light, casually scanning the towns and villages scattered all over the earth under his feet.
"If I find a good family with you, I'll be sorry for the fact that you hunted me down!"
While speaking, the Taoist lowered his head and looked at a group of dim light emitting in his hand. This small, dim light group, which was less than a handful, opened and shrank when he heard Feng Bingwen's words, but even a complete thought came out.
It cannot be transmitted.
"Yes!"
The Taoist's eyes swept across the towering city walls, bustling villages and towns, and finally landed on a village that looked a little dilapidated. He raised his other hand, did some calculations, and nodded slightly.
"This way, there is no need for cause and effect, which is very good!"
After selecting the target, the Taoist descended from the clouds and walked into the poor village. It could be seen that the farmers living outside were basically wearing tattered clothes, and even the slightly more decent ones were full of patches.
Seeing this scene, the Taoist's eyes were as calm as water, without much movement. He just followed the calculation results and walked into a thatched house.
In the eyes of the Taoist, a peasant woman with ordinary appearance and rough skin was waving a hatchet and chopping pieces of wood to the appropriate size.
Next to the peasant woman's village, there are two and a half-year-old children helping. One is helping to carry firewood, while the other is stacking the chopped wood one by one. In the house,
The Taoist also heard the sounds of crying and care.
The Taoist watched this scene and remained silent. He just stood here, but no one could see him, whether it was the woman chopping firewood, the children helping, or the villagers passing by on the road next to him.
As time passed and noon approached, smoke rose from the chimney, and a short and slightly thin man walked out carrying farm tools and two young men with honest faces.
"..."
Looking at this family of eight, Feng Bingwen pursed his lips, and then couldn't help but sigh softly,
“What a blessing it is to have many children!”
This kind of situation is too common in the human race. As long as conditions exist, the ordinary human race will try to reproduce as many children as possible. On the one hand, it is to continue the family line. After all, in a harsh environment, the proportion of children who can survive to adulthood is not very high.
There are many, and the mortality rate of young children is very high. Maybe a cold wind can take away the life of a child.
On the other hand, poverty means that the cost of raising a child is extremely low. A child is a labor force for a family.
"A family of eight is already stretched thin!"
The Taoist walked into this family's house and his eyes fell on their dining table, a plate of wild vegetables and whole grains mixed with rice bran, without any trace of meat or fishy taste.
"And the ninth bite!"
Feng Bingwen's eyes fell on the peasant woman who had a good appetite. Her abdomen was slightly bulging. A weak breath of life was being conceived, and even her consciousness had not yet condensed.
"well!"
The Taoist sighed, and the dim light ball he held in his hand was thrown out, and it was actively thrown into the peasant woman's abdomen. She ate the rough rice grain without any reaction.
"You can come here in August!"
Feng Bingwen didn't even need to calculate to figure out the approximate delivery time of the peasant woman in front of him, and just now in the sky he had already figured out what kind of treatment the child in his belly would receive after it was born.
Abandoned baby!
This is a choice that ordinary people make between the growing number of children in their families and limited resources. However, there is still some conscience left in such behavior. After all, there are abandoned children and some are picked up by well-intentioned people.
Possibility of being raised.
There is another even more egregious behavior, infant drowning, but most of this happens to baby girls. Just because it does not meet the needs of their parents and they do not want to waste money and food, they simply drown in the water.
This kind of situation is common in secular dynasties with backward productivity. Feng Bingwen certainly can't bear to see this situation, but even though he is a human being walking in the secular world, he can't do anything about it.
He can save one person, ten people, or even hundreds or thousands of people, but he cannot save ten thousand people or one hundred thousand people. There are too many such situations!
The only way to solve this bad situation is to improve productivity, and this is what the Mohists are doing.
It's just that the mechanism technique promoted by the Mohist family is not going to be developed to benefit Feng Bingwen. I don't know how long it will take for the area I'm looking at, but no matter how long it takes, it will eventually be able to change the situation of the Kyushu human race!
It is naturally impossible to completely eliminate the situation of people abandoning and drowning babies, but this kind of bad incidents can be reduced on a large scale, and this is something that Feng Bingwen cannot intervene in for the time being.
Wow!
Eight months later, a cry rang out in Linjia Village, and along with the woman's feeble plea, a hurried little figure walked to the stream next to the village under the cover of night.
He searched his side with his eyes, picked up a few dead tree trunks, tidied them up a little, tied them to the small swaddling clothes, then hesitated for a moment, threw himself into the stream, and then turned around decisively.
, walked home without looking back.
"If you are born without nourishment, the cause and effect will end."
Looking at the short figure without looking back, Feng Bingwen's body appeared inch by inch beside the stream. Then he looked at the little swaddle that was about to sink into the stream. He stretched out his hand and the clear water flowed as if he owned it.
His vitality turned into a hand and gently lifted him up.
"It really worked!"
Feng Bingwen lowered his head and looked into the baby's dark eyes that were neither crying nor fussing, reflecting the stars in the night sky, and a wicked smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"You poor man, sit down and we are in need of a boy to serve. With your qualifications, it is quite suitable!"
"Giggle!"
Listening to Feng Bingwen's words, the baby who was reincarnated by the spirit of true fire suddenly started to giggle. Then, he didn't know that it was because the human body was too young, but he felt a sense of fatigue. Just under Feng Bingwen's care,
He fell into a deep sleep, breathing softly and regularly.
"The Spirit of True Fire from the End of the Earth has successfully reincarnated, fellow Taoist Nanming, you should be relieved!"
Staring at the village that had regained its tranquility under the night sky, and even the faint sound of crying gradually disappeared into nothing, Feng Bingwen left as quietly as he came, except that there was a baby in his hand.
Not long after, Feng Bingwen, who had been away for more than half a year, returned in the secret realm of true fire. Suzaku, who was suffering from the expectation of being free, was excited almost as soon as Feng Bingwen appeared.
He flew over with his wings, and then looked at the baby being held up by Feng Bingwen with great excitement.
"Is this the reincarnation of the human race who is extremely powerful?"
Nanming Lihuo's spirit kept looking at the petite and fragile life in Feng Bingwen's hands, and his excitement was beyond words.
"Guaranteed replacement if fake!"
Feng Bingwen replied with great confidence that similar methods are available in all major immortal sects, but the basic requirements are relatively high, and those who do not reach a certain level cannot withstand the secret technique of reincarnation.
But in most cases, few monks can be reincarnated, and there are even fewer monks who can retrieve their memories after reincarnation. Most of them are truly ignorant after reincarnation, and completely become another person.
people.
As for this small flaw, Feng Bingwen didn't mention it to these true fire spirits. There was no need. Besides, Feng Bingwen had already found the best way to reincarnate for them, so what else could he be dissatisfied with?
"Aren't you humans trying to trick us?"
The Spirit of Sun True Fire also flapped its wings and flew over, with eyes burning with blazing true fire, full of curiosity. He looked up and down at the swaddled little human in Feng Bingwen's hand. After comparing them, he became a little disdainful.
Small and fragile creatures!
"Why are you lying to me? Stay away, don't burn this kid, he will be my boy from now on!"
Feng Bingwen waved his hand with a look of disgust, and following his movements, five-color black light from five directions poured out from behind him, turning into a palm, and shot the true fire spirit hundreds of feet away.
"Too fragile!"
At this time, after looking at the Suzaku in Feng Bingwen's hand that had been reincarnated for a long time, he spoke, his voice filled with hesitation and a bit of unwillingness,
"Can I only reincarnate as a human being?"
Even though Feng Bingwen was blowing up the news, and even a psychic fairy weapon was manifested, Nanming Lihuo's first choice was still a creature with Suzaku bloodline, even if it was just a monster.
After all, the state of this human race after reincarnation is no different from what it remembers. It is still so weak. It is hard to imagine how such a weak human race can have monks like this person!
"Weakness is only temporary. I was just like the little guy when I was born. However, I have only practiced for a few years. I am not qualified to talk to you. The growth potential of the human race is far beyond your imagination.
, and after reincarnating into the human race with your spirituality, your qualifications will not be weak. If you continue to worship under my senior sister, becoming an immortal will not be a problem at all!"
Feng Bingwen persuaded patiently.
This secret method of reincarnation still requires the other party to actively cooperate. If they do not cooperate, it will be a bit troublesome for the caster.
"Is that really true?"
Suzaku still had doubts in his eyes. If it had a choice, it would of course want to be able to have powerful power after reincarnation, and then practice step by step. It would be better to have a high starting point, but the starting point of the human race is still too low.
"Little Feng, you are too kind-hearted. A few fire spirits are still bargaining like this. Where did you lose the face of the Supreme Master? If you ask me, just suppress the matter and leave him alone.
Are you willing to erase them all?"
Surging immortal power burst out from Feng Bingwen's body, and the trembling Yuxu Immortal Cauldron, which had previously been suppressed by a higher level of power, reappeared.
"Fellow Taoist, I would like to be reincarnated as an adult!"
Seeing his hesitant attempt to bargain, the Taoist in front of him was once again stimulated. The spirit treasure he carried exploded, and Nanming Lihuo's spirit no longer hesitated.
"snort!"
The Yuxu Immortal Cauldron snorted in dissatisfaction, and then the mighty immortal power directly suppressed it and shrank to the side, like an enlarged quail of the true fire spirit of the sun.
"And you?"
"I don't want to be reincarnated, I think it's pretty good here!"
Jinwu, who had personally experienced the pain of reincarnation under the true fire of the end of the earth at a close distance, immediately shook his head and whispered.
"No, you want!"
Yuxu Immortal Cauldron said in an unquestionable tone.
"I do not want!"
Jinwu's tone was weak, but he resisted firmly.
Although being oppressed by Lingbao is uncomfortable, the pain of reincarnation seems to be even more uncomfortable, not to mention that after successful reincarnation, he will not only become a weak human race, but also lose all the power he currently has. He does not desire freedom, why should he?
Give up all this?
"You have no ambition! Boy Feng, I don't like this bastard bird. Go and pull out his spirit, then find a brothel and throw him in!"
Not getting a satisfactory answer, Yuxu Immortal Cauldron suddenly became dissatisfied, shouted loudly, and gave instructions to Feng Bingwen.
In fact, he had already planned with Feng Bingwen, one would be a bad guy, and the other would be a good guy. Otherwise, if his attitude was too good, a little firebird would always feel that he had a choice, and it would be unsatisfactory.
"Isn't this a bad thing? After all, it wants to be the disciple of my senior sister. If it is born in a brothel, it will not sound good if it is spread out!"
Feng Bingwen's face showed hesitation.
"What is a brothel?"
Golden Crow and Suzaku were both confused, but even though they didn't understand what it was, they also knew that it was probably not a good place.
"It's just a place used by humans to have fun!"
Feng Bingwen said lightly,
"You don't need to know too much, I will find an ordinary but problem-free origin for you!"
"I……"
What else does Jinwu want to say, but
"Leave with me, Jin Yan!"
Suzaku spoke,
"You will be alone here after I leave. Can you endure the long loneliness?"
"There are other true fire spirits here!"
"Fellow Daoist Feng will not let them go. Whether they are willing or not, Daoist Daoist will send them to reincarnation!"
Zhuque could clearly see that what the Taoist in front of him had spent so much effort on was the power of the true fire. As long as their spirituality was stripped away and sent into reincarnation using the secret method of reincarnation, the remaining power would be left to the other party and Qiuyu.
got it.
"Fellow Taoist is really smart!"
Feng Bingwen smiled slightly and did not deny that he had never concealed his purpose. The reason why he was so troublesome was just to resolve the cause and effect. If he suppressed it forcefully, he would probably add a lot of evil deeds to himself.
"So, I have no choice at all!"
Jinwu completely understood that the moment the Taoist appeared, his fate seemed to be doomed, whether he wanted it or not.
"No, you can choose freedom on your own initiative, or I can send you to reincarnation!"
