Chapter 341 Illusion of Longevity
Zhoudi company headquarters.
Zhao Si was transferred back urgently as an elite monk, one is to ensure sufficient manpower for flood control in Haojing, and the other is to prevent problems in the two rivers that traverse Haojing.
Similar dams and rivers that traverse big cities have laid out corresponding formations. If necessary, special flood discharges can be carried out urgently, and water can be diverted to other places using formations.
Once it involves arrays, monks are needed.
Zhao Si and Xu Danting walked in the aisle of the company, and the people around them were extremely busy, whether they were monks or ordinary people, there seemed to be hundreds of tasks hanging on them. Many people answered the phone while walking, and some even ran.
Messy voices echoed throughout the corridor, and someone roared from every office.
It's not their fault, because the flood happened in the last two months. No matter how powerful the technology is now, there is no way to make a major upgrade of the drainage systems of all cities in a short period of time. Even if they are given a year, they may not be able to complete it.
So the power of monks is very important.
In terms of productivity and stamina, monks are definitely inferior to modern technology, especially the former almost crushes monks. But the real usefulness of a monk lies in his adaptability, which can be used at any time in the face of any situation.
A qualified Taoist orthodox monk needs to learn the alchemy array. Every monk may not be all-rounder, but they must be a top doctor and a special engineering team.
"I'm going, I feel like I don't need to sleep this week."
Xu Danting felt a dull pain in her stomach when she saw this battle. Almost all monks in Shenzhou have experienced super overtime.
Whenever there is a disaster, the monks, as the priority group of social practice resources, will naturally rush to the forefront to protect the personal and property safety of the people. This is an obligation.
Generally speaking, 200 hours of overtime work at one time is not uncommon.
Zhao Sidao: "I feel like I have to work 300 hours of overtime this time. You'd better be mentally prepared. Thinking about what happened to Moyuan back then, I only had to work overtime for a week during the Qi training period, running around 24 hours a day."
"This time it's a flood, so it shouldn't be as dangerous as Moyuan, but there must be a lot of things."
"Ah, here." Xu Danting sighed, "It's our duty to eat the national food."
The two came to report to the company's employer, and the employer immediately assigned them a lot of tasks without any explanation. The task information was transmitted to the mobile phone, and their livers hurt from hearing the tinkling laughter.
However, Zhao Si was very lucky to be assigned a relatively easy task, and it was also a task that made him a little confused.
【Soul Search Team Supervisor】
The soul search group is no stranger, it can be said that it is the most powerful practice group so far, and it can truly determine life and death with one word.
Now many vicious criminals are interrogated by Ting Wei, and their investigation results will be the first evidence, and the rest of the witnesses and physical evidence will come later.
Because memory does not lie.
What is puzzling is that in the current state, monk power will never be enough. Why didn't the higher-ups stop the mission of searching for souls and put precious combat power into fighting the flood.
"It's really weird, even the death penalty can prolong the trial, why do you want to search for the soul at this time?" Zhao Si said with some doubts
"It may involve some very important things." Xu Danting said, "Your task is really easy. Remember to treat me to Lingmi later."
"No money."
"You are a relative of the elder of Jianzong, why pretend to be poor with me?"
Zhao Si shook his head very puzzled and said: "If you don't have money, you have no money. Believe it or not, I was released by the big family to practice? Now that I am poor, you should come to rescue me."
"It's not impossible." Xu Danting smiled on her beautiful face, put her hands on her hips, and approached Zhao Si slightly.
The voice was gentle: "Master Zhao, after this mission is over, I will treat you to dinner, and I will go to the Yubaoxuan opened by the Moon Palace."
Yubaoxuan, a restaurant opened by the Moon Palace to cater to monks, has a variety of medicinal foods. Although it is not as effective as elixirs in terms of medicinal effects, it is better absorbed and has better effects than elixirs in some fields.
For example, a small amount of elixir that ordinary people cannot afford can be taken as a medicinal diet, which has attracted a large number of dignitaries.
Yubaoxuan is good, but it’s too expensive. It’s good to have a recommendation list from the government. If not, it will cost a few million for a meal. In principle, Moon Palace does not advocate selling to the outside world, but in the humane society, there are always people who go through the back door, resulting in a series of corruption.
Blocking is worse than sparseness, and the moon palace simply sells at a high price.
Xu Danting dared to agree, obviously the rumor is true, the other party has a master who is an elder of the Shangqing Palace.
Bai Fumei in the practice world.
Xu Danting didn't wait for Zhao Si to refuse, turned around and walked away. Only Zhao Si was left sighing in place: "My **** charm, I only hate that I am not Brother Yi."
Zhao Si is very aware of how much he has, but he doesn't have the ability and courage to dare to say that he wants it all. Furthermore, Brother Yi continued, if he accepted this, he would undoubtedly be a real scumbag.
At that time, it is inevitable to be ridiculed by Brother Yi, and with the temperament of the other party, he will not help him to bully other girls, so it is fine if he does not make trouble.
For the sake of his own reputation, Zhao Si always reminded himself to abide by the way of husband.
Then Zhao Si also went to his mission location, which is located on the fifth basement floor of the company, an interrogation room under heavy protection.
The interrogators are neither criminals nor enemies, but fellow company monks. From the fact that they don't need to pierce the silver needles to seal the dantian, it can be seen that these people are their own people, and they need to accept the soul search for some reasons.
Three Foundation Establishment cultivators lay flat on the metal platform, their eyes closed, and they fell into a special coma.
Zhao Si thought to himself: No wonder at this time people are taken out to search for the soul. The three builders fell into a coma, which is considered a particularly serious accident.
The company's definition of accidents is similar to that of social accidents, except that the judging standard is repair first. If more than 30 people die in a social accident, it is a particularly serious accident, and in a company, the death of a foundation-building monk is a particularly serious accident.
After all, each foundation-building monk is a treasure, and the manpower and material resources consumed to train a foundation-building monk can train 10 pilots.
The three foundation-building monks fell into a coma, and their life and death were in a state of uncertainty, which was also a particularly serious accident.
Regardless of whether to search for the soul or not, the soul search team needs to be examined and treated.
Next is the classic process, injecting drugs, and the soul enters the Lingtai. The duration ranges from 10 minutes to three hours. If it exceeds this time, it is only necessary to use a special method to forcibly extract the soul of the person.
Ordinary people will definitely die after this set of operations, but for monks, as long as the operation does not make mistakes, the mortality rate is less than 0.5%.
Zhao Si pulled up a chair and sat in a corner to play with his mobile phone. If nothing else happened, he could play with his mobile phone for several days in a row.
After the inspection was over and their emotions stabilized, Zhao Si came to them and asked, "How is the situation?"
"The situation is strange."
One of them covered his forehead and frowned slightly, as if he hadn't fully recovered from the sequelae.
The medical staff next to him couldn't help lowering their heads and asked, "Do I need to take an extra soul-fixing pill?"
The government has enough pills for the soul searchers to prepare themselves, and almost all the pills that can heal the soul are attacked by them. Only in this way can they ensure that their souls and souls will not be damaged at all during frequent soul searches.
After all, monks with spiritual talent are "rare species".
"No, it's just a headache. I don't want to rest for another month after taking that elixir." Soul Searcher shook his head and refused.
The drug is three-point poison, and Dinghun Dan is five-point poison in order to reduce costs. No one can die, but the sequelae are very uncomfortable, often accompanied by severe headache, vomiting and diarrhea.
"The spiritual altars of these three people were connected together by some kind of force, and they all fell into an illusion. After our search, we have found their spirits, but we can't get them out of the illusion. According to them, they need to control the flood before they can leave .”
"What flood?" Zhao Si asked.
"An ancient society should be a certain historical fragment in the practice world. At that time, there was a heavy rain that lasted for 50 years, the earth was submerged, and countless people had to flee to the plateau."
The soul searcher paused for a moment, recalled what he had seen and heard in the illusion, and said: "We can't control the illusion, this is not the memory I found. But there is one thing that I am very concerned about. There is a person from the Shangqing Palace in the illusion. The monks taught us all kinds of spells, almost all of which are used to cure floods. These spells are like empowerment, you can learn them as soon as you teach them, I don’t know if it’s..."
Following the memory in the illusion, the soul-searching cultivator raised his fingertips, and the water on the table instantly rose into the air and poured directly on his head.
Everyone present widened their eyes, and the soul-searching cultivator reacted the most violently, jumping up immediately.
He looked at his hands in disbelief.
"Fuck, this spell is actually real? I thought it was an illusion."
Zhao Si also became more serious, and asked, "Have you learned water control before?"
The scene just now is nothing to a monk, but if it is a spell empowered by illusion, it is of great significance. It generally takes three months to learn a foundation-building spell, and one year to master it proficiently and form combat power.
The soul-searching cultivator learned a spell after only entering the illusion for three hours.
"No, this is not controlled by my divine soul. If you want to use the divine soul to fetch things from the air, at least you will have the Golden Core stage." The soul searcher shook his head and replied.
During the Qi refining period, it is possible to obtain objects from a distance, but it is difficult to obtain objects from a distance with the spirit.
"Are you sure it was the dream that empowered you?"
"I'm sure, all the spells I have learned have been registered, and you can report to the higher authorities to apply for inspection."
Zhao Si reported the situation here to the company's senior management, and the company's senior management who got the news also understood the matter, so it was no small feat to report it to the temple immediately.
The temple attached great importance to this, and hurriedly sent 6 more monks to come.
The next day, there were 168 monks and ordinary people who were comatose due to the "meteor vision" all over China.
Everyone has fallen into an illusion after being checked by the soul cultivator, and the illusions are connected to each other, which is simply unheard of.
The most important thing is that the spells empowered in the illusion are all real. These spells are as small as water control, as big as diverting rivers to irrigate rivers, and they are almost used to fight floods. This is of great significance to the current state of China. Entering this mysterious illusion through the altar of a comatose monk, one can quickly learn spells that can overwhelm rivers and seas.
Some people roughly estimated that, based on three hours, it takes about 48 hours to convert all the monks into specialized anti-flood units, which can directly solve the current flood problem facing all parts of China.
Zhoudi, temple office building.
The ministers gathered together to express their opinions on whether or not the monks should receive the illusory empowerment.
"... At present, more than 1,000 floods have occurred in various places. Although no casualties have been caused, substantial property damage has been caused. It is impossible for us to upgrade drainage measures in a short period of time. The power of monks is necessary."
"...What if there is a problem with this secret realm? If there are large-scale casualties of foundation-building cultivators, who can afford it?"
"...Saving people and losing land, everyone saves land. I don't think we should take risks. No matter how big the property loss is, we can afford it with our current finances, but we can't bear the large-scale death of monks."
Regarding the issue of whether or not to perform illusion empowerment, most of the ministers disagreed.
As the only government in the world that still maintains order, especially after the outside world is completely taken over by reincarnated people, China has become a well-deserved economic hegemon, accounting for 80% of the global economy.
Places like the Black Soil State could have competed with Shenzhou, but now they are only worthy of being raw material supply and dumping places.
They have no shortage of money, and they can afford to pay no matter how big the economic loss is. The big deal is to use pills and spiritual objects to harvest another wave of businessmen in the society. The cost of pills is less than 10,000, and the government can sell them for millions.
The government that controls the hegemony of spiritual things is not merciless when it comes to harvesting the rich. As long as it can prolong life, even if it sells for more than a billion yuan, there will be people rushing to buy it.
Those businessmen are nothing but fat pigs even though they are high-ranking officials.
Prime Minister Pan Jun sat on the throne, silent as usual.
He was waiting for a call from Shangqing Palace.
At this moment, the landline on the right rang, and Prime Minister Pan Jun immediately clicked to connect, and the voice of Taoist Qingxuan came from inside.
"Hey, Prime Minister, please organize people to explore the illusion you mentioned immediately. Don't worry about problems. This illusion is a historical fragment of the Great Flood in Immortal Dao, and the spells in it are harmless."
"I'll organize people to investigate immediately." Prime Minister Pan Jun nodded in agreement, and then asked: "How about the Dragon Palace?"
"Successfully killed an ancient dragon, but there were some abnormalities. The current situation has not been clarified yet. I will write a report and inform the government when the situation is clear."
With the guarantee of Taoist Qingxuan, the government quickly organized monks to enter the illusion, and some monks who were not souls were also thrown into it.
On the one hand, because of the particularity of the environment, the more people there are, the faster the investigation will be, and the flood problem in the environment can be quickly resolved. On the other hand, it is also for more people to learn the spells inside, so that they can immediately devote themselves to fighting floods when they come out of the illusion.
In fact, after verification by the government, these spells are available in Qing Palace, Moon Palace and Daleiyinzong, but there is no way to empower them.
Subsequently, not only the Zhou government, but other regional governments also received requests from their respective towns and states to investigate the illusion.
Even the Sword Immortal, who usually doesn't pay much attention to the government, opened his mouth to order the government for the first time. Smart people have already smelled something unusual, and these towns and countries have formed a circle.
Just like that decree, when this group of people wants to use the power in their hands, no one can resist it.
And this unparalleled power, coincidentally gathered in one person.
