Entering this realm is undoubtedly smuggling.
However, considering the noise made by the twisted giant python along the way and the fact that Taiyi Xuanzhu has been in the state with the weakest presence, the possibility of being discovered as soon as he came in is not high.
Based on the principle of being lenient with the enemy, and the fact that this is a strange world, Tao Tie must act low-key.
The Lingzhuzhu, an acquired spiritual treasure that is still in its infancy, is not suitable to move around rashly.
Therefore, Tao Tie gave Zhuzhu extremely clear instructions while controlling Taiyi Xuanzhu to quickly smuggle to the landing place.
"Zhuzhu, remember, even if I'm in a life-and-death crisis, you can't come out without my permission, understand?"
"Ah."
Zhuzhu agreed very readily, and gave the reason that "it stinks here, even stinks worse than that snake, that's why Zhuzhu doesn't want to go out."
Upon hearing this, Tao Tie was speechless.
That snake refers to the twisted giant python that combines some of the characteristics of the Lord of Billions of Venomous Serpents, Jörmungandr, Nidhogg, and Shesha.
Stinky also refers to the level of rules, not the smell.
Even though the background was a chaotic mass of millions of mountains, Zhuzhu never complained about the stench.
The reason why Zhuzhu despises the giant twisted python is because the Dayong Dynasty has taken away all the good, positive and usable powers of the underworld, and the lords of billions of poisonous snakes have swallowed up all the filth and dirt.
However, according to Tao Tie's perception, this strange world is neither chaotic nor dirty, but orderly.
But this order is completely different from the order of the Dayong Dynasty.
The Taiyi Mysterious Pearl, which has been washed and purified several times, is deeply bound to the Dayong Dynasty. As an artifact spirit, it is natural that Pearl will dislike this strange world whose order is different from that of the Dayong Dynasty.
This is also a reflection of the child's nature.
"Okay, Zhuzhu, since you think it stinks, then just stay at home."
After the silence, Tao Tie chose to comfort.
Zhuzhu looked at the bad adult worriedly and fell into a deep sleep.
Unless Tao Tie calls her, Zhuzhu will never take the initiative to get out of this state.
After comforting Zhuzhu, Tao Tie turned his attention to himself.
Tao Tie didn’t think too much about why he was thrown out by the King of Fengdu. He was only thinking about how to gain a foothold in this strange world.
After hiding in the Taiyi Xuanzhu and observing patiently for a long time, Tao Tie made sure that there was no ambush or danger nearby, and then he took out the Taiyi Xuanzhu.
As an acquired spiritual treasure, Taiyi Xuanzhu has swallowed many natural treasures and fragments of the abyss with spatial attributes. It seems that it has the tendency to form a world of its own.
The so-called self-contained world or the way of earthly immortals is based on the authority of the Tao.
Therefore, Tao Tie's cultivation, realm and strength are no different in the Taiyi Xuanzhu, which is deeply bound to the Dayong Dynasty, than in the territory of the Dayong Dynasty.
Then, as soon as he personally entered this strange world, Tao Tie discovered that his Taoist realm and cultivation were all sealed.
The strong physique that was tempered is still there.
The physical supernatural powers based on the physique can still work, but their power has been greatly reduced.
"This is a different order, a different way!"
After discovering this situation, Tao Tie quickly figured out the reason himself.
At the same time, by comparing it with his own experience, Tao Tie was shocked to find that the gravity and speed of time flow in this strange world were actually consistent with those of the Dayong Dynasty!
There must be a reason behind this, and we must find out.
Tao Tie fell into deep thought.
Thinking in the mind does not hinder action.
The place where we first smuggled across was a valley of flowers.
They were evacuated urgently and arrived at a forest.
After a little adaptation, Tao Tie quickly started wandering in the mountains.
It is not only about finding a way out of the mountain, but also about getting familiar with the environment of the mountains and forests, the order and rules of this world, and looking for an opportunity.
Not long after he walked away, Tao Tie heard a loud crying sound.
The physical supernatural power [Clairvoyance] that had not been used for a long time was exerted.
Three miles away, a young man wearing brocade and jade jewelry sat on a rock, covering his face with his hands and crying loudly.
Next to the young man stood another person who was also wearing brocade and jade. This person was a little older and was approaching middle age.
Tao Tie's mind moved, and he wanted to use [Knowing Everything] to take a look at the information fragments of the two people.
however……
[Knowledge of All Things] cannot be used!
Just like the realm, cultivation and strength of Taoist cultivation.
"what's the situation?"
Tao Tie had no time to care about anything else and focused all his attention on this.
[Knowing Everything] However, this is the core foundation of his path of omniscience and omnipotence, and it cannot be missed.
We must figure out whether it is due to the difference in the rules of the two worlds, or whether it has been completely lost.
He carefully sensed his true spirit and physical body, including the Ziwei Jade Palace, which was also closed but capable of introspection, and the soul within it.
Tao Tie didn't find anything.
【Knowing Everything】, just disappeared like that!
Not finding it on himself, Tao Tie immediately turned his attention to the Taiyi Xuanzhu.
After all, the beads' analytical function is also derived from [Knowing Everything].
Only then did Tao Tie realize that the three main functions of the beads, swallowing and the water of origin of all things in the universe, could still be used, but analysis had disappeared.
"call……"
This situation actually made Tao Tie feel relieved.
"It must be because the rules of the two worlds are different. It must be so."
Thinking like this, Tao Tie forced the disappearance of [Knowing All Things] and the analysis of Taiyi Xuanzhu deep into his heart and stopped thinking about it.
Attention also shifted to the young man who gradually stopped crying, and the middle-aged man who had been silently accompanying him.
Judging from their embroidered clothes and jade pendants, both of them are carnivores, so they should be able to provide a lot of information.
This corner is worth listening to.
"Have you cried enough?"
The middle-aged man shouted coldly, "It's unreasonable for you to cry like this for a mere woman! It's better not to do it in front of others, otherwise the Tianshuiqiao family will lose all their face!"
"Yun Yi is not just a woman!"
The young man raised his head, revealing a handsome face with tears streaming down his face, and shouted stubbornly, "Yun Yi is my fiancée, not just a woman!"
The middle-aged man's voice was still cold: "The Yun family has angered the Qingshui River Lord, and the entire clan has been exterminated by the River Lord's High Priest. Yun Yi will also be offered as the main sacrifice to the Qingshui River Lord as a gift to congratulate the Qingshui River Lord on his promotion to the Qingshui Dragon Lord!"
After a pause, the middle-aged man said in a more serious tone: "Qiao Mao, remember, my Tianshui Qiao family depends on the Qingshui River God Temple to ensure the continuation of the family and to ensure prosperity and wealth. The Qiao family members must not do anything that angers the River God High Priest. In the matter of Qingshui River God being promoted to Qingshui Dragon Lord, we must devote all our efforts. No matter what the High Priest wants, we must give it out, and we must give it willingly. Otherwise, the Qiao family will follow in the footsteps of the Yun family and be wiped out!"
The young man, Qiao Mao, stopped crying and an endless sadness appeared on his face.
There is only sadness, no anger.
Neither the Qingshui River Lord nor the Qingshui River Lord's high priest were anyone he could deal with.
Even if the entire Tianshuiqiao clan were sacrificed, Qingshuihebo would not be harmed in the slightest.
"Uncle San, I know the seriousness of the situation and I won't do anything rash."
After the sadness, Qiao Mao stood up and solemnly expressed his position to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at the descendants of the Tianshui Qiao family, who were the most compatible with the Qiao family's ancestors, and felt relieved.
As long as they can still think clearly, they can be saved. Otherwise, no matter how compatible they are with the ancestral spirits, they must be killed to avoid future troubles.
The Yun family, whose size and strength were not inferior to the Qiao family, was destroyed by the high priest Qingshuihebo within half a day. This really shocked all the big families in Tianshui City.
It also reminds all the big families to remember one truth once again:
Qingshui River Lord is the real master of the Qingshui River Basin!
If you are against the Qingshui River God, even if you are just against the Qingshui River God's High Priest, there is only one outcome: the annihilation of your entire clan.
Especially when Qingshuihebo is about to be promoted to Qingshuilongjun.
With this in mind, the middle-aged man did not completely relax and decided to continue to look after Qiao Mao personally.
"Uncle San, let's go back. This is not a place to stay for long."
Qiao Mao seemed to have really gotten over the sadness brought about by his fiancée's misfortune and took the initiative to bring it up.
"Ah."
The middle-aged man nodded and signaled with his eyes that Qiao Mao should walk in front.
Qiao Mao understood what was going on and knew that his uncle was still trying to prevent him from doing something stupid. He gave a bitter smile but turned around and walked out of the mountain obediently.
Tao Tie followed the two men from a distance, wanting to hear more.
Unfortunately, the two of them did not communicate with each other throughout the whole process and just walked in silence.
The forest was not big, and we reached the mountain pass in less than half an hour.
Outside the mountain is a plain, and a big city can be seen from a distance.
On the other side of the city is a surging river.
The middle-aged man stopped just as he was about to walk out of the mountain pass.
Qiao Mao knew that his uncle had something to tell him, so he quickly stopped and turned around.
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Qiao Mao, remember, after you leave the mountain, don't mention Qingshuihebo at all, understand?"
Qiao Mao nodded and replied solemnly: "I understand, Third Uncle. Otherwise, I wouldn't have run into the mountains when I was depressed. Isn't it because Qingshuihebo has no authority in the mountains and can't sense what's going on here?"
"You just understand."
The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance and majesty, and he shouted in a low voice, "Remember, before you say anything or do anything, think about the lives of the 267 people of the Tianshuiqiao family!"
After saying this, the middle-aged man strode towards the big city in the distance.
Qiao Mao hurried to catch up.
In the mountains, both of them walked without using any extraordinary means.
But as soon as he came out of the three mouths, he used some kind of magical speed and walked several miles in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Tao Tie immediately changed his mind and decided not to rush into the city. He decided to stay in the mountains for a while and collect more information.
If you think so, then do it and turn back to the mountain.
For the next four days, Tao Tie wandered around the mountain.
Although the Taoist's realm, cultivation, and strength have been sealed, and his spells and magical powers cannot be used, some methods modified based on his strong physique can still make him move without a trace and unnoticed.
During these four days, Tao Tie made two discoveries.
The first discovery was that the mountain was dead and had no spirituality at all!
Regardless of whether it is Confucianism, martial arts, Taoism, Buddhism, or witchcraft, the basis of practice is that all things have spirits.
Since this strange world has such extraordinary beings as He Bo, Dragon King, ancestral spirits, and priests, it must be a world with a strong and active spirituality.
Every flower, grass, tree and stone should have spirituality.
However, this mountain is indeed not there, as if it is completely dead.
It is precisely because this mountain is dead and has no spirituality that people from the big city outside the mountain like to go into the mountain to vent or have secret conversations.
What these people vented to the spies were all matters related to the Qingshui River Lord.
Based on this, Tao Tie formed an initial impression of Qingshuihe Bo, whom he had not yet formally met. This guy could not perceive what was happening in the spiritless land.
The second discovery was that this strange world was no different from the Dayong Dynasty in astronomy and in all other aspects.
One sun and one moon.
The stars we see at night are almost exactly the same.
"That's interesting."
Muttering this in his heart, Tao Tie walked out of the mountain.
Over the past few days, Tao Tie's observations of the people who went into the mountains to express their dissatisfaction with Qingshui River Lord, or to have secret talks about matters related to Qingshui River Lord, allowed him to understand some of the cultural customs of the big city outside the mountain: Tianshui City.
With a little disguise, and playing a very similar native of Tianshui City, it is still possible to avoid revealing any flaws.
The only problem is identity.
It is very important to have an identity that can integrate into this strange world without being noticed as different.
In Tao Tie's opinion, it is impossible that the Emperor of Fengdu would throw him into this world for nothing. There must be something for him to do, but it is not easy to say it clearly, so he needs to discover it himself.
The basis of all this is to integrate into this strange world.
Therefore, Tao Tie thought about entering Tianshui City and finding a suitable opportunity to get himself a suitable identity.
The reason why he chose to enter the city today was not because Tao Tie was confident in his disguise, but because today was the Qingshui River God Ceremony.
There are seven cities in the Qingshui River Basin, and Tianshui City is the largest, richest and most powerful.
The grand festival was naturally held here.
Today, the people from the seven cities in the Qingshui River Basin, as long as they are able, will flock to Tianshui City to participate in the grand sacrifice.
First, to offer faith, and second, to desire blessings.
Tao Tie left this dead mountain through a mountain pass that was rarely visited by people. After wandering around for a while, he quietly mixed in with a group of people who were going to worship the Qingshui River God.
There were a lot of people on the road, and Tao Tie's presence was not high, so no one noticed anything unusual.
In this way, Tao Tie mixed in the crowd and entered Tianshui City.
The grand ceremony is held in the evening, and it is only noon now, so there is still some time to get to know Tianshui City.
The influx of a large number of outsiders not only brought congestion and chaos, but also brought a huge demand for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The markets suddenly became busy.
The streets are full of all kinds of people, including pickpockets.
A few short-sighted guys even targeted Tao Tie and took away his ill-gotten gains.
Based on the idea of taking from Tianshui City and using it for good in Tianshui City, Tao Tie used the ill-gotten gains to buy a set of suitable clothes and plug the only loophole in his disguise.
Then he swaggered towards the sacrificial site on the river outside the city.
The high platform for worshiping the Qingshui River God had already been built.
Tao Tie looked at it from a distance and found the style very familiar.
If you think about it carefully, hey, isn’t this a nine-layer pyramid?
Why is it that no matter where you go, as long as they have anything to do with evil priests, they all use this one?
Tao Tie took another closer look at the statue of Qingshui River God standing on the top of the nine-story pyramid and frowned.
This is a statue of a god with a snake head and a human body.
Surrounding the statue are nine young virgins and large clusters of beautiful flowers.
It is spring now, and flowers are in full bloom, which is the perfect time for people to compete with flowers.
But for Qingshuihe Bo, it doesn’t matter whether a person is delicate or not, what matters most is that the food tastes good.
Tao Tie whispered in his heart: "It is indeed the evil god!"
But he didn't plan to do anything, and had already decided to watch. (End of this chapter)
