Taoist Master of Fantasy World

Chapter 79 Broken Cloud
Xu Zhenyun thought quickly and asked immediately: "Teacher, even the actual battlefield situation of the battle between the immortal dynasties is truthfully recorded on the 'book'. Doesn't it violate the principle of dividing Taoism and secularity and living in harmony with the world?"

Ji Xiaohua shook her head solemnly and said: "Of course it doesn't count. 'Following the world' is a way for Taoists to separate the 'secular part' and the 'Taoist part' from a personal perspective and not interfere with each other in order to promote their practice." road."

"The battle between immortal dynasties, the chaos of evil cultivators, and the invasion of monster clan are all matters that affect the life and death of all living beings. All progress should be made public. Just like the bloody moon every three years, the possible attack direction of monster clan, states and counties They will all issue emergency documents.”

Xu Zhenyun thoughtfully nodded slowly, the concept in his mind becoming a little clearer.

His eyes fell on the second item in the "First Edition of the Book", Xu Zhenyun thought about it in his mind, and after a little mental calculation, he said: "The people of the Jin Dynasty can live to be 91 years old, but the actual life span is only 69 years old."

"If accidental deaths account for half of the total population, and the average age at death is half of the expected life span, that is, 45 years old, then the calculated average age is about 68 years old, which is exactly close to the actual average life span..."

Ji Xiaohua glanced at him and knew what Xu Zhenyun meant, and said seriously: "The proportion is higher than you expected?"

Xu Zhenyun nodded and said: "Exactly. Please ask the teacher to clarify my doubts."

The gap between life expectancy and actual life span is large, which means that half of people do not die well.

Because the officials at all levels in the Jin Dynasty have special magical weapons, unless the murderer is also a monk, civil disputes can almost be "murdered". Therefore, under this deterrent, the public security among the people is actually very good.

The main threats to all living beings are the "three disasters".

But from Xu Zhenyun's perspective, the impact of the competition between immortal dynasties and the chaos of evil cultivators on ordinary people is not very clear; only the "Bloody Moon" that occurs every three years has the deepest understanding.

However, with the scale and frequency of the "Bloody Moon" that Xu Zhenyun knew, it seems that it would not be possible if half of the population did not die well!

For these questions, according to Xu Zhenyun's original character, he should have searched for books and information alone, or even gone deep into the market to investigate step by step.

It would be a bit cowardly to ask some stupid common sense questions rashly.

But now he felt a sense of urgency to "comprehensively understand the face of Xinyuan Continent", so he asked directly.

Moreover, from the incident of "forcibly bumping fists with Mu Xueqing", Xu Zhenyun also felt the benefits of acting decisively and directly, so the psychological balance gradually tilted.

Ji Xiaohua did not show the attitude of "dislike the question as too low-level" and patiently answered:
"You have been growing up in Shendu County for a long time, and you have been in both the family and the martial arts school. Your understanding of world customs is bound to be skewed. It is very normal to have such questions."

"Roughly speaking, there are several reasons."

"First, you have ignored that after the invasion of the demon clan, they invaded and killed ordinary people. Whether it was for blood food or to seize their bodies, the priority targets were young people up to 20 years old, and even younger infants and young children; The bigger victims are either the demon clan’s indiscriminate consumption of meat or vegetables, or they are the victims of Chiyu.”

"Since the average age of the victims is much lower than the '45' figure you expected, the impact on average life expectancy must be greater."

Xu Zhenyun nodded. He had indeed ignored this point just now.

Ji Xiaohua continued: "Second. Needless to say, although the 'Wu Shi Tianxuan Formation' protecting Taihe Immortal City is not perfect, this is the capital of the gods after all. Except for accidental events like the 'Shen Capital Rebellion' 16 years ago, In other years, the city of God will suffer losses from the 'Bloody Moon', which will ultimately be less than those of other cities."

"In small counties with relatively weak defenses, there was even an incident where the whole city was destroyed by the demon clan in the 'Bloody Moon'. Of course, this is an accident caused by various factors, and it is rare. But generally speaking, the city level The higher it is, the higher the survival rate of residents in the city.”

"So, for local cities, the monster problem is actually more serious than you think."

"The third reason. After all, the City of Gods is not the border of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, and your perception of the impact of the 'Immortal Dynasty Contest' is not obvious."

Xu Zhenyun's heart moved slightly, and he immediately asked: "Will the immortal dynasty also slaughter mortals when they compete?"

This question is direct, even a bit pointed.

According to Xu Zhenyun's perception of the world style of "immortal people", the battle between immortal dynasties should be a more "civilized" form; it seems that there should not be the massacre of cities recorded in the history books of previous generations...

Ji Xiaohua's face became very serious.

The light in her blue eyes was flowing, and she looked into Xu Zhenyun's eyes. Ji Xiaohua said slowly: "As for the impact of the conflict between the immortal dynasties on ordinary people, I will only tell you seven words - the two heavens of ice and fire."

"Either it is very civilized and barely notices the change of flags and ownership of the city, and it is just a change of agent; or it is a catastrophe and the evil force is so great."

"The former is determined by the current world style of 'immortals and close people'; the latter is due to the special form of struggle between immortal dynasties."

"You are still in the growth stage. When you improve two more levels, serve for the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty in the future, and face the competition of the Immortal Dynasty, you will naturally understand everything."

Xu Zhenyun had countless thoughts and deductions in his heart, but finally he just nodded and said: "I understand."

Ji Xiaohua added: "The fourth reason."

"And a fourth one?"

Xu Zhenyun was surprised.

The knowledge on the social form of Xinyuan Continent is indeed complicated.Ji Xiaohua said: "The fourth reason is..."

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from next to Xu Zhenyun: "This broken cloud, known as the 'evil in the sky', has been working for decades to benefit our country. This time, it has done the most to contain Chu. It can be seen that the immortal dynasties are competing, the sky is tilted, and the general trend is mine."

Xu Zhenyun turned his head and saw that the speaker was about 30 years old. He was wearing a round-necked shirt and a black hollow gauze hat. He was rubbing a brown jade fan in his hand.

Moreover, he is popular, wealthy, graceful, fair-skinned, and handsome in appearance.

Ji Xiaohua was slightly startled and said with a smile: "The fourth reason has already been mentioned by this person. The evil cultivator organization 'Broken Cloud' has harmed the three major immortal dynasties, and Dajin has suffered the least harm relatively speaking, so you feel It’s not obvious.”

"It's not just you. The people under the rule of Da Jin have a significantly different perception of this threat than those of Da Liang and Da Chu."

Xu Zhenyun said in confusion: "Is it the entire evil cultivator, or the 'Broken Cloud'? A single organization, has such energy?"

Compared with the Bloody Moon, although "evil cultivators" are also one of the "three disasters", Xu Zhenyun does not feel it clearly; especially the people and things around him, who has died at the hands of "evil cultivators", so far almost all Can't find a specific example.

This is not because Xu Zhenyun is ignorant.

The Xu family, and even the people in Nanyang County near and far, have no clear feelings about "evil cultivators" as they do about monsters.

It was also called "three disasters", but in Xu Zhenyun's heart, he felt like "Kobe and I scored 81 points together."

and also……

If for some reason, the entire "evil cultivator" system, one of the "three disasters", did less damage to the Jin Dynasty, so that it could significantly affect Xu Zhenyun's perception of risks, or affect the overall situation of the three dynasties' struggle, It makes sense.

but:

Just an evil cult organization "Broken Cloud"?
In the Dao Heart chessboard, the voice of the Little Golden Man "asking to the sky" sounded at the right time: "Oh my God! This guy Xu Zhenyun doesn't know about the evil 'Broken Cloud' in the sky? Why can such an idiot get the 'God-given Xuanjing' I don’t accept the opportunity..."

The strange voice of "Mu Xueqing" also sounded simultaneously: "He actually doesn't know about the 'Broken Cloud'... That's right. There is no special way to know the deeds of the monastic world in advance. For ordinary people, maybe this is not surprising. …”

"Especially the country people who are far away from the capital of God and the garden of Tianxin..."

Ji Xiaohua was not surprised because Xu Zhenyun didn't know about the "Broken Cloud", and slowly explained:
"Actually, even in Dajin, the harm done by evil cultivators to ordinary people still exists; just in a secret way that ordinary people cannot imagine. I will let you know about this first; in more than a month, when you advance to the eighth level, If you receive specific duties in Dajin, you will naturally come into contact with them."

"I can only tell you - in the official ratings of the three major immortal dynasties, evil cultivators are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang."

"Among them, evil cultivators whose cultivation is at the lower third level and who commit crimes independently are classified as 'yellow level'."

"An evil cultivator whose cultivation level is in the middle third level is the 'Xuan level'."

"If your cultivation level is higher than the third level, or if you use it as the backbone to form an organization, it is the 'prefecture level'."

"The leader has reached the first level of cultivation, and there are many evil cultivators of the third level under his command, and he has mastered at least one 'first-class spiritual world map', and has the ability to resist the pursuit of the top powerhouses of the three major immortal dynasties." Heaven level'."

Xu Zhenyun said: "The Broken Cloud is an evil cultivator organization rated as 'Heavenly'?"

Ji Xiaohua shook her head and said, "That's not right. Think about it, the nickname of Broken Cloud is on the book."

Xu Zhenyun's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "Evil in the sky? Evil in the sky..."

"It means that evil cultivators above the heaven level are unique?"

Ji Xiaohua nodded and said: "Exactly. Among the evil cultivators, only the 'Broken Cloud' is beyond the four levels of Xuanhuang and Xuanhuang, and is named 'Heavenly Evil'."

"Although Broken Cloud is small in scale, it cannot compete with a country in terms of its foundation and strength; but in terms of its top strength, it is almost indistinguishable."

"In the minds of high-level cultivators, the 'Broken Cloud' is the No. 13 major force in Xinyuan Continent after the 'Eight Extremes of Humanity' and the 'Four Saints'."

Xu Zhenyun was secretly surprised: "So powerful?"

Ji Xiaohua said: "No matter which level of evil cultivators they are in Heaven, Earth, Xuan, or Huang, they all use a special and secret method to harm all living beings. But only the 'Broken Cloud' has the ability to imitate the demon clan. , a public blood sacrifice to a city!"

"Because the evil cultivator is originally a fake person. After hiding his identity, the Wushi Tianxuan Formation cannot control him. Once he acts unscrupulously, he is almost more troublesome than the demon clan."

"One number is enough to illustrate the problem——"

"In the last hundred years, the lives that have died at the hands of evil cultivators, the four categories of heaven, earth, black and yellow are added together. The number of human lives killed by them through secret means accounts for [-]% of the total; and the great blood sacrifices created by the Broken Cloud in the three major immortal dynasties account for [-]% of the total. become."
