Human Shackles

The fleet stopped for three days before pulling up anchor and setting sail again. The river bank along the way gradually narrowed. Of course, it was still dozens of miles wide, and the scenery on both sides could be slightly seen.

Dixingtian is a middle sky like Renlitian. It is slightly different from Renlitian in that Dixingtian has more mountainous areas and a relatively arid climate. Although the water of the Tianhe River flows through it, it is not enough to change the environment.

The river bank became narrower, so the fleet had to be alert. Some cannons and crossbows were placed on the side of the ship, and reconnaissance scouts also took off to monitor the situation on both sides of the bank.

There is nothing unusual on both sides of the bank, but there is something strange in the water. Whirlpools are rising in the river ahead, and groups of shrimps, soldiers, and crabs will emerge from them. The leader is a fish-headed water monster. He waves a long fork, and a monstrous river wave appears on the surface of the river. All ships were blocked.

These days, the river monsters are not out to rob, but to collect taxes. Each large passenger ship charges a river crossing tax of hundreds of thousands.

The passing ships didn't dare to do anything. Those who were familiar with the ship went to bargain, while those who were unfamiliar with it just had to pay the tax honestly.

Although Tianjie has developed space transmission technology, the construction and activation of space arrays are astronomical and cannot be popularized.

The connected sections of each sky layer are blocked by the Nine Heavens Gang Wind and cannot fly.

The Tianhe Waterway and the Buzhou Mountain Land Road have become the only internal transportation methods. The land road is rugged and difficult to travel, and is densely populated with monsters and ghosts. The waterway can borrow wind and water, so it is the choice of most civilians.

No one dares to offend the Tianhe Shui Tribe. By guarding this important traffic route, the Tianhe Shui Tribe has become one of the most powerful forces in Heaven.

The Indigo Society is not exempt from the mundane and must pay taxes honestly. This is not over yet. Due to the recent raging demonic disaster, the Tianhe Aquatic Tribe is also responsible for assisting in the investigation. Teams of shrimp soldiers and crabs will board the ship and use the "Magic Mirror" on every passenger. ".

As the name suggests, this is a magic weapon of insight that can restore the original body and detect evil energy.

Demonic energy is a collection of energy manifested by negative emotions such as greed, resentment, and persistence in the soul. It is similar to the disordered state in physics, with entropy increasing.

It can make the body extremely powerful quickly, but it can also affect the mind and lead to addiction. The main source is hate.

In contrast, aura is an ordered state, counter-entropy, and its transformation efficiency is low. It is not as fast and violent as demonic energy, but it can maintain clarity of mind, and the conversion rate and utilization rate are consistent with the personal affinity. , related to utilization, the main source is love.

In the heavenly world, all living bodies naturally receive spiritual nourishment all year round and will not react with the magic mirror.

When the ship stopped, Luo Kai had already woken up. The fourth eye of the storm in his body had almost taken shape and gathered in his throat, making his voice much hoarse.

After advancing to the fourth level of Hunyuan Wuji Kung Fu, he has undergone some radical changes. If he was originally gray and gray, like mud and stone, now he seems to have turned into stone directly.

Not only does the appearance look like a stone, but the body also becomes like a stone. The toughness of the flesh and blood is greatly reduced, while the solidity is greatly improved.

This caused him to become quite stiff and numb, his tactile senses were almost ineffective, he became insensitive to pain, and had no sense of smell or taste.

Hunyuan Wuji Kung Fu is a technique passed down by the sage Pangu, and is the pinnacle of turbid power.

Taoism divides all things into pure and turbid. Pure is the soul, and turbid is actually solidified soil, which can also be said to be the body.

According to legend, Nuwa made humans out of clay, essentially injecting spiritual souls into the clay.

All spirits in the universe, including star spirits, are actually born in this way. Now that Luo Kai has reached the fourth level of Hunyuan Wuji Kung Fu, he seems to be returning to his original source, turning into earth and stone again.

Hearing the noise coming from outside, Luo Kai took Xuanwu, who was still playing in the bathtub, back into the sea of ​​​​consciousness, stood up and opened the hatch.

His current appearance was really weird. After thinking about it, he took out a turban and cloak and wrapped himself tightly.

On the top deck, a team of soldiers and generals have begun to inspect the guests in the upper class cabin. They also know that the people in the upper class cabin are unusual and have a friendly attitude.

There are actually not too many guests in the upper class cabin, only about a dozen or so. Basically, each has a huge aura, a faint soul, and extremely high cultivation. There are even some in their forties and fifties.

Luo Kai saw two people he knew. One was wrapped in a black robe and was obscured by the black mist. He was a ghost clan. It was the ghost clan swordsman who had shined in the Tao Discussion Conference. His name was Ye Xiao has now received the title and is called the Moon Night Sword Immortal.

The other person was wrapped in a red robe, with a small fireball floating around him all the time. He was a powerful mid-term monk, the same Dharma King who made smoke.

Dharma King Nongyan comes from Zoroastrianism, and Zoroastrianism is also a large Western sect that spans the heavens, and its headquarters is also transformed into Zi Zai Tian. Perhaps I have to accompany this old man throughout the journey.

When Luo Kai was thinking, everyone on the deck also looked at him. In fact, Luo Kai's own dress was the most mysterious. Not only was his whole body wrapped tightly, but he had never come out since he got on the ship, and his aura was also relatively obscure. , people are naturally guessing his identity.

The race and identity can be identified by looking at the magic mirror. The inspection is of course very fast. When it comes to the night owl, the expression of the fish-headed water demon in charge of the inspection immediately became solemn. Now the evil disaster is raging, and the monsters are mixed with it. Got a lot of ghosts.

It is actually very difficult to distinguish between ghosts and demons. Sure enough, when the magic mirror shines on the body of the night elf, the mirror immediately emits a black light, which is the detection of demonic energy.

The water demon tribe was as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and other passengers on the deck also stayed away. Only King Nongyan was not surprised at all, and instead laughed.

The fish-headed water demon took a few steps back and asked Ye Xiao, "Why is there so much demonic energy in you?"

Ye Xiao smiled and replied: "This is not demonic energy, it is just the filthy air of the world. I come from the lower world and have been in the upper world for less than a year, so I still have a lot of smoky air in the world that has not been affected by the clear spirit of the weather. Wash it away."

The human world and the earth realm are both places where filth gathers. Many people who are new to the upper realm will indeed be misreported by the magic mirror. Generally, they will disappear after staying in the heaven realm for a few years. The fish-headed water demon asked doubtfully: "You What’s your name and identity, Yudie?”

Ye Xiao handed over his identity as Yudie, and the fish-headed water demon checked it, but still shook his head, indicating that Ye Xiao failed the test and would be decompressed and disembarked.

Ye Xiao's face turned cold, and there was a dark flash in his eyes. He was so powerful that he would not be decompressed and disembarked by the other party.

The fish-headed water demon took a few steps back, raised its trident, and a large amount of water vapor gathered. This was the Tianhe River, and the Tianhe Aquatic Tribe was not afraid of anyone.

The two sides seemed to be at war with each other. At this time, Dharma King Nongyan came over with a smile: "Haha, it's just a trivial matter, why should we be so serious." He took out a large handful of ether particles from his arms and gave it to the leader of the fish-headed water demon.

The Dharma King Nongyan is a one-yuan existence in the middle period. The fish-headed water demon would never dare to offend him, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, then give the Dharma King some face." With that, he returned the identity of Jade Butterfly to Ye Xiao.

Next, the Demon Appraisal Mirror looked at each one, and there was no abnormality. When it came to Luo Kai, the water demon commander also looked at him with suspicion and looked at him with the Demon Appreciation Mirror.

The treasure mirror lit up with a faint starlight, and Luo Kai's original form was also shown in the mirror. He was a kind of person who looked like a rock carving, a kind of star spirit.

Everyone on the deck was astonished. The naturally formed star spirit can be said to be the rarest creature in the heavens, and it was actually possible to see it today.

Dharma King Nongyan and Ye Xiao immediately recognized Luo Kai. After all, Luo Kai showed his star spirit form during the Dao Discussion Conference, but his skin color was now darker, almost like a rock.

The heaven, earth, universe, and all creatures were created by the earliest primitive star spirits. Today's star spirits are equivalent to the descendants of the Creator God. Logically speaking, they are far more noble than those descendants of the saints.

It's just that the protoss spirits are too gentle in temperament, do not establish influence, and have little interest in money and power, so they have little influence. However, there are also some natural creatures that respect the protoss spirits.

The Tianhe Water Tribe is a group that respects nature. All the water monsters showed respect and bowed to Luo Kai.
