Chapter 24 The two-hundred-year limit
"This magic weapon is called Jinggui Luo. It is a medium-grade magic weapon with six restrictions. It can drive away ghosts and shock the mountain spirits. Today, I am a little presumptuous. This magic weapon is regarded as a pity!" Since I had to give an explanation, Wang Feng finally decided to bleed a little blood and take Zhao Hu away as soon as possible.
"Not enough!" Taoist Master Qingmei glanced at the thing in Wang Feng's hand and finally spit out two words.
"Then add a promise. After going down the mountain today, my junior brother and I immediately left Zi'an County and went to other places to settle down. I wonder if that's enough?" Wang Feng's face was a little different now. Although he gave in today, it does not mean that he needs to compromise.
"But!" Taoist Master Qingmei nodded slightly, and this time he agreed.
Hearing Taoist Qingmei's agreement, Wang Feng immediately put the shocking ghost gong in his hand on the ground, and then helped Zhao Hu, whose pain had relieved a little, said nothing, turned around and walked down the mountain.
Mo He looked at the backs of the two men going down the mountain. He thought that Wang Feng might say one or two harsh words before going down the mountain, but the other party left like that.
But if you think about it carefully, such people are more terrifying and more fearful than those who can speak harshly.
After looking at the Jinggui Luo on the ground, Mo He stepped forward to pick it up, but then he heard Taoist Qingmei shout.
"Don't move!"
Mo He stopped moving, looked back at his master, and then looked at the shocking ghost gong on the ground. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately took a few steps back.
When Master Qingmei saw Mo He's actions, he took back what he had originally planned to remind him. It would be great to let Mo He practice some things himself.
After Mo He retreated more than ten meters, a wooden thorn condensed in his hand again and hit the shocking ghost gong placed on the ground.
"boom!"
Just as the shocking ghost gong was moved, a fire light rushed out from under the shocking ghost gong, accompanied by a violent explosion.
"This!" Mo He really didn't know what to say now. The other party's thoughts were really sinister. Combined with the experiences that Taoist Qingmei had told him before, Mo He felt that if he wanted to go out for training in the future, he would have to be extremely careful when meeting everyone.
"Don't be too surprised. This is the way to survive for casual cultivators. Be careful in everything and be careful when you meet everyone. If you take it lightly, it may be a lesson, and you may even lose your life!" Master Qingmei spoke earnestly at this time.
"Disciple, remember!" Mo He nodded and kept what happened today firmly in his heart.
At this time, Wang Feng and his men who had already reached the foot of the mountain also heard the explosions coming from the mountain.
"Senior brother, is that old guy injured? Why don't we kill him again!" After swallowing two pills in a row, Zhao Hu was out of danger now. Although his face was a little pale, his fortune was saved. He heard the sound from the mountain and said to Wang Feng beside him.
"Don't think about it anymore, that old guy is careful. Let's go, find a place to heal you first, and then we will leave Zi'an County." Wang Feng turned his head and looked at the mountain, then shook his head and said.
"Senior brother, are we really leaving like this? I can't swallow this!" Zhao Hu's ferocious face was full of unwillingness, and he wanted to kill him immediately and kill the two people on the mountain.
"You have to swallow this breath. If you weren't too careless, you were injured in the hands of a child, maybe I'd killed that old guy today. Let's take note of this account for a while, and you will have a chance to get it back in the future." Wang Feng ignored Zhao Hu, who was ignoring his reluctance, and continued to walk forward.
Seeing this, Zhao Hu could only follow behind. He hoped that what his senior brother said was true, so that the account would be recovered sooner or later.
After the battle ended, the magic weapon named Jinggui Gong finally fell into Mo He's hands.
This magic weapon is a bit useless, and it should be a work by a casual cultivator. There are six layers of prohibitions in it, all of which are targeted at ghosts and are not of much use for hurting people.
Although such a magic weapon is a medium-grade magic weapon, it is too targeted and does not have enough lethality to ghosts. Master Qingmei doesn't like it at all. It's better to let Mo He take it to play. By the way, Mo He can also practice it. How to refine the restriction into the magic weapon, even if it is broken, it won't feel bad.
However, Mo He said that this was the second magic weapon he got. Although the effect was a bit useless, Mo He thought it was also very good to deal with ghosts, so he happily put it away.
After dealing with the traces of the battle, Qingmei Temple's door became completely new, but the soil layer seemed to be a little shorter than before, but if you don't tell it carefully, you can't see anything.
"Master, why do these two people come to cause trouble today? It's because the master is the Taoist official of Zi'an County?" After cleaning the battlefield, Mo He came to Taoist Master Qingmei and asked a question.
"It's almost that, but there are some details in it that are very involved and involve a major event. Well, I will tell you today. You will understand the mystery after listening to the master's explanation!" Master Qingmei looked at Mo He, feeling inexhaustible satisfaction with this disciple.
Today, Mo He's performance during the battle was really impressive. When he fought with someone for the first time, he knew how to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. He accidentally injured Zhao Hu. After that, he did not hesitate. The series of measures he made made Taoist Qingmei feel praised in his heart. It can be said that if it weren't for Mo He, it is still unknown what the situation would be like in the fight today.
"Do you know how many years have passed since the founding of the dynasty?" Before telling Mo He, Taoist Qingmei asked a question first.
Hearing Master Qingmei’s question, Mo He quickly recalled in his mind that when he was six years old, he once saw in the study of the county government that it is now the third dynasty of the human race, and it has been 187 years since its establishment. Now he is eleven years old. Five years have passed, that is, the dynasty has been established, and it has been 192 years.
"Since the first human emperor in ancient times, every human emperor in the human race who has been in power, no matter how high your cultivation level is, he will never avoid birth, old age, sickness and death. This seems to be a curse for the position of the human emperor. No human emperor can get rid of this curse, and this limit is only two hundred years!" Before Mo He answered, Taoist Qingmei continued.
"The end of two hundred years!" Mo He suddenly seemed to have grasped something, but he didn't understand it for a while.
"Except in ancient times, the first human emperor had a great cultivation level and died for eight hundred years. Every human emperor after that died within two hundred years. Without exception, the founding Taizu of the dynasty was almost approaching this time!" Taoist Master Qingmei sighed and said.
The maximum period of two hundred years means that at most eight years, the current dynasty human emperor will die as long as the previous human emperor.
Of course, the term "dead" may not be appropriate. Although every human emperor is in power, he will die of old age in the end, most human emperors also have cultivation. With their cultivation level, their life span is far more than two hundred years, so this is more like a curse, a curse for the human emperor of the tribe.
"Does it mean that when power changes, it will cause some turmoil and even affect Qingmei Temple?" Mo He immediately appeared in his mind that he had traveled through time and time. When power changes, the prince's battle for the throne.
"It's not so. The position of the Human Emperor is not so easy to sit in. Most royal families have superior resources and do not have much ambitions for that position, so there are not many people competing for that position. Of course, the alternation of power will always be accompanied by some turmoil, which is inevitable." Taoist Master Qingmei seemed to see Mo He's thoughts, and before he asked the question, he answered the question first.
Mo He nodded, and he also felt that it was not a problem in this regard. Qingmei Temple is located in a remote place, and Taoist Principal Qingmei is just a Taoist official in Zi'an County. It is impossible for someone to come to him if he is a entrusted with a title.
Besides, Wang Feng and Zhao Hu had already shown their identities when they came. They were also new Taoist officials and also obtained this virtual title. However, it seems that they attach great importance to this virtual title. From this point of view, the problem is likely to lies with the virtual title of Taoist officials.
Next, Taoist Master Qingmei did not continue to keep insincere and directly told the real answer.
"When I came to Zi'an County and became the Taoist official in Zi'an County, I have been waiting for the Human Emperor's 200-year deadline for a chance and an opportunity to be decreed as a god!"
When Mo He heard Taoist Qingmei say this, he wondered if he had heard it wrong?
"The opportunity to become a god!" Mo He muttered in his mouth.
"Yes, it's an opportunity to become a god. After more than a hundred years of cultivation, my cultivation has barely reached the realm of soul and my life span. If I want to go further, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity and blessing. If I don't want to fall back into the cycle of reincarnation or become a ghost cultivator, I have to choose to become a god!" Master Qingmei finally revealed this secret to his only disciple.
Perhaps now, this should not be considered a secret. After all, from the beginning, this secret was semi-public. Many practitioners knew that this was an opportunity and accompanied by risks. However, there were still many casual cultivators like Taoist Qingmei who were willing to join in.
Taoist Qingmei was one of the earliest people in the operation and chose a place to garrison early. Wang Feng and Zhao Hu who went up the mountain today were latecomers and wanted this opportunity, but they came later. When Taoist Qingmei was already in Zi'an County, they chose to drive Taoist Qingmei away or kill him, but unfortunately they were the ones who failed in the end.
