Chapter 509: Five invitations are not coming out. Unpredictable
The people in the hall had ulterior thoughts for a moment. Jin Shisan was sitting high on the top spot with an incomprehensible look on his face.
When everyone discovered that Jin Shisan had not said a word and seemed not to want to invite the Lian Gang Taoist priest out, the heated atmosphere gradually calmed down.
Among them, the Taoist priests with ulterior motives secretly doubted whether there really was such a person, and they continued to advocate that the island-protecting spirit beasts should be given to the conscripts to solve the plight of the entire island.
"Thirteenth Elder, you have to take the overall situation into consideration! Normally, the mortals on our island have to pay taxes. In order to pay taxes, there are not a few people who sell their sons and daughters. But compared to the mortals on other islands in the West Sea,
Can you say they are pitiful? No, not pitiful at all."
"Yes, yes! The Sixth Elder is right. If our ancestors had not accumulated good deeds, and we are all human beings, we would not be able to tolerate those mortals living in peace. They would have been raised as animals long ago, and their souls would be extracted and refined into talisman coins!"
Because Baijin Island is a branch of Fanxing Taoism, the Taoist priests who opened the island still had some conscience and did not raise mortals as livestock, but adopted a slavery system.
Although this approach is still miserable, compared to islands such as Sharman Island, mortals are already lucky. At least there are a group of mortals who live and work in peace and contentment.
At the same time, due to the barrenness and lack of resources on the island, mortals often fight for land and drinking water, and large-scale armed fights often occur, resulting in heavy casualties. Platinum Island harvests souls from the armed fights and then refines them into blood money. This is not a direct killing.
Money, there is also money and grain production on the island.
"Alas! If we give away the island-protecting spiritual beasts, it will be like paying a heavy tax... We are not as powerful as humans!"
Seeing that Jin Shisan was reluctant to speak out, the expressions of some Taoist priests who were originally neutral also changed, and one of them said:
"Thirteen, even if you don't think about these old bones like us, you still have to think about the disciples on the island and the millions of mortals! If given a reason to disobey, the conscripts will definitely bloodbath my Platinum Island and plunder the population.
I'm so sorry for my ancestors!"
After suppressing the many remarks, Jin Shisan looked very unkind. A trace of compassion and hesitation flashed in her eyes, but then she was determined and coldly snorted:
"Confused! If you take the initiative to cut off your arms, you would be sorry for your ancestors and the millions of people on the island!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hissing sound suddenly sounded in the hall.
A gust of fishy wind blew down from the beams, causing the dozen or so Taoist priests sitting in the hall to shake their chairs, sway their bodies, and were shocked.
Snap!
A big green-scaled snake as thick as a beam fell from the beam into the hall, lying in front of the Taoist priests. It raised its ferocious head, opened its fangs, and roared at the Taoist priests!
Hiss! The smell is even worse!
The Taoist priest who had just advocated handing over the spiritual beast suddenly looked embarrassed and shouted one after another: "Qing Zun! Why are you here?"
"Jin Shisan, this is the important meeting place of our Platinum Island. How can you put an animal in the hall? What a shame!"
"Damn it! Where did this snake come from and why is it hiding in the beams of the house? No one among us found it."
Waves of mana aura surged from the Taoist priests' bodies. No matter what their mood, the dozen or so Taoist priests subconsciously prepared spells, talismans, and magical weapons to protect their bodies.
Jin Shisan looked at the actions of the Taoist priests in the hall, stood up, and sneered:
"Please remember, fellow Taoists, that our position as the island master and Qingzun's position as the island-protecting spiritual beast are not given by you, but taken by ourselves."
She kicked the golden chair made of copper and iron next to her, fluttered her sleeves and shouted: "That's it for today, the meeting is over!"
The Taoist priests in the hall were even more unhappy when they saw Jin Shisan being so tough, but when they saw the surging spiritual power on Jin Shisan's body and the big blue-scaled snake staring at them coldly, they all retracted their heads.
"This girl still has a strange insect that she hasn't released... so don't offend her yet."
"I was really blind when I chose her to be the owner of the island. I think the disappearance of Jinshi Palace has something to do with this bitch."
Dare to be angry but dare not speak, the Taoist priests in the hall left the meeting hall one after another, and left one by one with livid faces.
After all the Taoist priests left the meeting hall, Jin Shisan stood alone in the hall, arching his hands towards the green-scaled snake: "Thank you, Qingzun!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was another buzzing sound, and a strange insect flew out from behind her. It was the second spiritual beast that Xu Dao gave to her, the tooth general of the foundation-building realm.
A snake and an insect wandered in the hall, making her look very powerful.
Jin Shisan frowned and paced in the meeting hall.
In fact, she just wanted to kill the chicken in the hall to scare the monkeys, and kill the most noisy Taoist priest, so as to shock the whole island.
But what she didn't expect was that there were too many Taoist priests on the island who proposed peace, more than half of them. This immediately made her afraid and she didn't dare to do it.
Sighs resounded in the hall, and Jin Shisan thought to himself: "It seems that we have to invite Taoist Fellow Golden Gun out."
She glanced at the ferocious green-scaled snake and fang general next to her, but felt uneasy in her heart, wondering whether Xu would agree to her request.
"This green snake is his pet beast. If he is unwilling to show up and is eventually captured by the conscripts... I can't be blamed for this."
Jin Shisan comforted himself.
The second day.
Jin Shisan came to the location of the treasure house alone. This was the second time she came here after Xu Dao retreat.
She followed the opening method in her memory and immediately forced out the blood essence and hit it on the pyramid.
But what disappointed her was that there was no reaction at all on the pyramid, as if it was just an ordinary stone mountain.
After Xu Dao closed the treasure house, the entire treasure house was cut off from the outside world. During the thirty-six years of Jin Shisan's life, there was a dangerous situation. He had no choice but to run to Xu Dao for help, but found that he could not find the treasure house at all.
The door, let alone knocking on the door to ask for help.
This is also the reason why she never came here again in the next twenty years.
Facing Pyramid who remained motionless and unresponsive, Jin Shisan had an unpleasant look on his face: "You don't deserve this, but it's not that I didn't want to inform you."
Recalling the pitiful scene when she came here to ask for help, she became even more angry and turned around to leave.
But after only walking for a moment, his figure flashed and he suddenly appeared in front of the pyramid again.
Jin Shisan took a deep breath and exhaled:
"Junior Jin Shisan, I have something important to meet you, and I would like to ask the Taoist Priest in the tower to respond!"
He kept calling, calling more than ten times in a row, but received no response.
Seeing that his efforts were still in vain, Jin Shisan had no choice but to turn around and leave the pyramid bitterly.
The next days.
While Jin Shisan was working hard on the island, he vigorously asked the Taoists on the island to refine elixirs, make spells, and check formations, as if he was going to fight the enemy to the death.
On the other hand, she would go to the pyramid every month, trying to communicate with Xu Dao and ask Xu Dao to come out of seclusion.
The second time, she carried the Foundation-Building Tooth General and let the Tooth General vibrate the demonic energy, trying to touch Xu Dao, but in vain.
The third time, she brought both the Foundation Fang General and Soaring Snake, and asked the snake and the insect to find a way to show their spiritual energy and communicate with the pyramid, but it didn't work either.
The fourth time, he returned without success.
Until the fifth time, Teng Snake was raised on Platinum Island for many years, eating meat and drinking blood, and its spiritual wisdom was born. It was friendly with Jin Shisan, so it released its spiritual consciousness and conveyed what Xu Dao had told it and Yajiang.
things.
Jin Shisan was immediately surprised: "If the fifty-year deadline is reached, will we destroy the pyramid on the island and wake him up?"
She stared at Teng She with sharp eyes.
But immediately, Jin Shisan's expression became very embarrassed.
Destroying more than a hundred pyramids on the island means completely destroying the Platinum Island formation. In this way, the foundation of Platinum Island is destroyed, and it will be even more difficult to rebuild in the future.
And at the cost of destroying the island formation, Xu Dao was forced to come out of the pass. Not to mention the other Taoist priests on the island who couldn't pass the pass, she herself couldn't pass the pass.
The reason why this person is attached to Platinum Island is not only because he is not resentful that his direct lineage has been abandoned, but also because if he loses his position as the owner of the island, he will not be able to control many Taoists, and the cultivation qualifications he can enjoy will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, once the foundation of Platinum Island collapses, her position as the owner of the island will be of little use. Rather than doing this, she might as well live on the intact island.
Faced with such a situation, Jin Shisan could only sigh: "That's it."
Although she gave up, her eyes flickered, as if she had another thought.
When Jin Shisan worshiped the pyramid many times, the other Taoist priests on the island did not know about it at first, but as the number of times increased, they gradually noticed Jin Shisan's behavior.
By the last time, basically all the Taoist priests, even the Qi Refining Taoist disciples below, knew that there might be a powerful Taoist priest hidden in the central pyramid.
However, they did not know who was hiding, so some people speculated whether it was the elder of Jinshi Palace who had been missing for more than thirty years, and they also looked forward to whether an alchemy Taoist master would come out of the pyramid.
………………
It's the same day.
The atmosphere on Baijin Island was depressing and turbulent. But underground on the island, Xu Dao, who was in the fire, was calm and patiently stabilized his cultivation over and over again.
In half a year, with the help of the burning of the earth fire, he had completely stabilized his cultivation and was able to leave seclusion.
When Jin Shisan left in front of the pyramid, Xu Dao suddenly opened his eyes underneath. His eyes were clear and his light was restrained, just like an ordinary mortal, quite a bit like returning to nature.
He stretched out his hand, and a few red jade-colored flying insects suddenly landed in front of him, dancing in an array, showing him the news.
If you look closely at the meaning it expresses, it is clear that it is Jin Shisan’s every move in the outside world.
These ruby-colored flying insects are the Tooth General Scale Soldiers that Xu Dao has re-raised in the past six months. They are different from other Tooth General Scale Soldiers. They were born in the earth's fire. They are fire-resistant and can be used as his eyes and ears.
Underground.
Xu Dao patiently read the news that Ya sent the scale soldiers back, with thoughts in his eyes: "It seems that the so-called recruiting envoy is about to arrive at Platinum Island, and Jin Shisan has already given up and is ready to hand over Soaring Snake.
."
During the past six months, he originally had no idea about the situation in the outside world, but he was already preparing to leave the quarantine. Naturally, he could not go out in confusion.
Therefore, after the fire-resistant fang developed the scale soldiers three months ago, he released them and gradually gained a grasp of the situation on Platinum Island.
In other words, Xu Dao actually heard clearly about Jin Shisan's subsequent pleas for help, but he just continued to turn a deaf ear.
Thinking about this matter, Xu Dao couldn't help but sneer on his face.
His sneer was not only for the many Taoist priests on Baijin Island, but also for Jin Shisan, and even more so for the big blue-scaled snake - Teng She.
Originally, Xu Dao didn't have much objection to Jin Shisan's harassment. After all, the other party was not capable enough to disturb him, and he had more important things to do and couldn't care too much.
But on this fifth time, the woman actually learned from Teng She's mouth how to wake him up, and she had the intention of forcing him out. Fortunately, she gave up this idea after taking advantage of the situation.
Faced with such an action, Xu Dao felt unhappy in his heart. It should be noted that he was in a state of seclusion and was strictly prohibited from being disturbed by others. If the other party really made a move and he happened to be in deep seclusion, he might go crazy and go crazy.
The cauldron overturned and the body died and the Tao disappeared.
What made him even more concerned was that Soaring Snake actually dared to leak his secret instructions to outsiders!
Xu Dao's heart showed a cold expression: "Sure enough, a pet beast is still a pet beast, and there is no loyalty like a tooth general or a scale soldier."
He had previously only used the "art of one heart and one mind" to restrain Soaring Snake. Now that several decades have passed, one person and one snake have been separated for a long time, and the other's mana has greatly increased, and his spiritual wisdom has also grown a lot, and many of his own characters should have been born.
idea.
This situation was not what Xu Dao wanted to see, he had to find a way to restrain it.
Let's not mention the causal relationship between him and this snake. Let's just say that Teng Snake is a variant of the golden elixir. It is just a matter of course for him to cross the golden elixir level. Once Teng Snake's strength surpasses him, the status between one person and one snake will immediately be reversed.
For a moment, many thoughts popped into Xu Dao's mind: "How to deal with this snake..."
Originally, the best way was to use a powerful enslaving spell to refine the snake before it hatched. Unfortunately, this opportunity has passed, and now the Soaring Snake has grown into a Ningsha, which is even more troublesome.
Xu Dao frowned, thinking about it, and found that the only feasible method in his hand at present may be Taoist Tianshu's "Xiaodong Xuanyun Forbidden True Talisman".
Using the "Little Cave Xuanyun Forbidden True Talisman", he might be able to refine the Soaring Snake, or even directly take away its talent, without having to raise the snake. But this method involves pill formation, and he was not sure whether to pay attention to it for a while.
You need to switch to this method.
Fortunately, there is still a month before the conscripts arrive, and he can think about it during this month. And even if he decides, he does not want to practice the talisman immediately. He only needs to knock the snake down first and suppress it again.
That’s it.
The underground of Platinum Island.
Xu Dao's mind gradually calmed down, he closed his eyes again, silently polished his Qi, and tried to figure out the method in his mind.
