Chapter 705: Dao-Labor War God

Sage Peak, the magnificent and majestic residence of the Sage, had already been transformed into a temple. Wan Wan Jinxian sat upright in the middle of the temple,

examining every Dao-Labor Ghost who came to offer sacrifices.

The Dao-Labor Ghosts were dancing ancient dances around Fang Fang Puxian. Their movements were monotonous but very neat.

Their dance steps, body forms, and gestures were all expressed very clearly.

Cui Cui Tike was dancing very earnestly in the ranks, while Li Li Banfeng was just walking in circles following the crowd.

"Aren't you going to dance along?" Cui Cui Tike was always worried that Li Li Banfeng would be discovered. He didn't speak very loudly,

but his tone was very low. This was grasping the weakness of the Dao-Labor Ghosts; they were not sensitive to low-frequency sounds.

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "I'm not familiar with the movements; dancing wrong makes it easier to be discovered. Who thought of this dance?"

"I thought of it." Cui Cui Tike was somewhat proud.

"Are you a dance enthusiast?" Li Li Banfeng couldn't think of the significance of him doing this.

Cui Cui Tike explained: "This is to establish faith. Wanting to control so many Dao-Labor Ghosts is a very complex matter. I not only have to establish a survival system for them but also establish a belief system. What they believe in is the Ancestor of Disease Cultivation and the Dao-Labor War God. This is an important means to maintain their cohesion and execution."

Li Li Banfeng still didn't understand: "To establish faith, must one dance?"

"Hu-gu-ga!" Cui Cui Tike and all the Dao-Labor Ghosts shouted together. This was to express praise for the Dao-Labor War God.

Cui Cui Tike maintained the rhythm and power of the dance steps and explained earnestly: "In modern belief systems,

textual carriers like doctrines and creeds are more easily accepted by people. This is because people can generate more thinking and realization through text.

But the Dao-Labor Ghosts' cognitive ability for text is insufficient. Modern faith is not suitable for them. What is suitable for them is a primitive belief system. Dance is the most common form of expression in primitive faith. First of all, dance is the most intuitive body language. The stories of the Ancestor of Disease Cultivation and the deeds of the Dao-Labor War God can all be expressed intuitively through dance.

Moreover, dance also has strong infectious power. In collective dance, people's emotions influence each other, which can create an atmosphere of sacred moments and generate spiritual resonance, making the concepts of faith further consolidated and deepened."

Li Li Banfeng looked at Cui Cui Tike and said: "So, have you found a chance to sneak attack Wan Wan Jinxian?"

"Not yet," Cui Cui Tike shook his head slightly, "The sacrificial ceremony is not a good time to strike."

"Then why must you choose this time to come to the temple?"

Cui Cui Tike said: "According to the rules I formulated before, this time should not have been for holding a sacrificial ceremony. Fang Fang Puxian changed the rules. The sacrificial ceremonies are obviously more frequent than before. I suspect that now, besides farming, eating, and sleeping, the Dao-Labor Ghosts are holding sacrificial ceremonies at other times.

Moreover, the physique of these Dao-Labor Ghosts has evolved, and their resistance to lesions is increasing. I still need some time to take them down."

Li Li Banfeng was very worried about this: "If even your lesions can't take them down, then how will you control them in the future?"

Cui Cui Tike didn't agree with this: "Whether in the Inner Prefecture or the Outer Prefecture, the actual controllers are not the ones who can fight. This is the reasonable norm. Puluo Prefecture is a pure exception. The existence of the Peddler gave you a wrong cognition, and you have been influenced too deeply by Puluo Prefecture."

Li Li Banfeng looked at the surrounding Dao-Labor Ghosts, looking at their bloated bodies, sharp claws and teeth, and the number that couldn't be seen to the end.

"Do you intend to rely on faith to maintain your control over Dao-Dao Guiling from now on?"

Cui Cui Tike had great confidence: "Don't underestimate the power of faith. I have conducted very in-depth research on this.

Take these dance movements as an example. Each movement symbolizes a symbol, and each symbol has a special meaning."

Cui Cui Tike also made a special explanation for the dance movements:

The Dao-Labor Ghost spreads its hands flat.

"This symbolizes the light brought by the Dao-Labor War God."

The Dao-Labor Ghost raises its hands high.

"This symbolizes the revelation brought by the Dao-Labor War God."

The Dao-Labor Ghost hugs its head with both hands.

"This symbolizes the wisdom brought by the Dao-Labor War God."

The Dao-Labor Ghost twists its own head off.

Cui Cui Tike pursed his lips and said: "This is—a new movement."

Li Li Banfeng's expression was calm. He had nothing to worry about; a fourth-layer Cloud-Ascending Residential Cultivator didn't worry about being easily detected by others.

But Cui Cui Tike was in big trouble.

He could perfectly blend in among the Dao-Labor Ghosts, but he didn't possess the ability to take his head off.

Wan Fang Puxian's gaze was concentrated on Cui Cui Tike.

All the Dao-Labor Ghosts twisted their wrists and aimed the heads in their hands at Cui Cui Tike.

Cui Cui Tike looked at Li Li Banfeng and asked softly: "What should we do?"

"Run." Li Li Banfeng picked up Cui Cui Tike and used the Unimpeded Travel technique to rush out of the temple.

"Ku-ga!" Wan Fang Puxian shouted, and Dao-Labor Ghosts filled the mountains and plains to intercept Cui Cui Tike. Li Li Banfeng rushed all the way to the foot of the mountain, to the cave where Cui Cui Tike was hiding. The shouting on Sage Peak still hadn't subsided.

Cui Cui Tike looked at Sage Peak: "This time I was reckless. Wan Fang Puxian will tighten his guard. In a short time,

it will be very difficult to sneak attack him again—"

Cui Cui Tike suddenly lowered his head and found a small thing preparing to crawl out of the cave.

Li Li Banfeng had long noticed this small thing. He stepped on it, picked it up, and saw it was a lump of flesh and blood.

Judging from the texture of this lump of flesh and blood, there was no blood, but it was filled with pus, clearly coming from a Dao-Labor Ghost.

Cui Cui Tike took the flesh and blood and smelled it: "This should be Wan Fang Puxian's flesh and blood. He chased here, which proves that he very likely locked onto our location."

While speaking, Cui Cui Tike packed his things, preparing to escape.

Li Li Banfeng was still observing this lump of flesh and blood. It was trying to escape, but it was also prepared for a fight. Its struggle was slightly flustered, but its actions were quite agile.

"What exactly is the reason for this?" Li Li Banfeng looked at Cui Cui Tike, "Why can a Disease Cultivator control a part of his limbs so agilely?"

Cui Cui Tike looked at the lump of flesh and blood and said: "I have been thinking about this question, but before we reach a conclusion, I suggest destroying this lump of flesh and blood first. Even if my Senior Brother has already discovered us, try not to let him find us so quickly."

Li Li Banfeng looked at Cui Cui Tike: "Have you tried the medicinal powder Zhang Wanlong gave you? Could those medicinal powders bring you the same changes?"

"Out of scientific research conclusions, I do have the courage to think about this matter, but if I participate in the practice personally, it is still difficult for me. After all, there are obstacles that cannot be crossed here.

I am already a Cloud-Ascending cultivator of Disease Cultivation. If I choose to practice Martial Cultivation at this time, what kind of price will I pay?"

While speaking, roaring sounds rang out outside the cave. Cui Cui Tike's Dao-Labor Ghosts were giving warnings. Wan Fang Puxian's Dao-Labor Ghosts were attacking.

Cui Cui Tike urged: "Let's argue about scientific questions in a while. Let's find a way to avoid this war first."

"Why avoid it? Can't you solve them with 'Barren Land' or 'Corpses Across the Field'?" Li Li Banfeng had great confidence in Cui Cui Tike.

"Are these words you're saying?" Cui Cui Tike was very disappointed in Li Li Banfeng, "We observed, witnessed, analyzed, and researched together, and after a series of bold attempts, we achieved today's results.

After achieving results, you just walked away. You didn't fulfill the responsibility of taking care of them at all, and now you actually want me to treat them with such vicious means?

If I use 'Corpses Across the Field,' what will we have left? If I use 'Barren Land,' the hope of the entire Dao-Dao Guiling will be completely cut off! Do you really have the heart?"

Li Li Banfeng blinked: "The way you put it, I really can't bear it. You fight with them here; I'll go kill Wan Fang Puxian."

Cui Cui Tike shook his head: "To kill Wan Fang Puxian, one must have a better opportunity."

【67】

Li Li Banfeng lowered his hat brim: "I think the opportunity now is quite good. Will Wan Fang Puxian personally command the battle?"

"Generally not," Cui Cui Tike had great experience with this, "He stays in the temple to arrange troops most of the time. The thinking mode of Dao-Labor Ghosts is not quite the same as humans. I don't know how much human wisdom he still retains, but he still retains the temperament of liking to hide behind the scenes."

Li Li Banfeng said: "You hold on here for a while; I'll go to the temple now. If I don't come back after an hour—"

Cui Cui Tike nodded with a solemn expression: "I will remember you forever, my friend."

Li Li Banfeng glared at Cui Cui Tike: "What's the use of just remembering me? If I don't come back, you have to go to the temple and save me!"

Li Li Banfeng was not unfamiliar with Sage Peak to begin with. Back then, he had been trapped here by the Overlapping Mountains technique for a long time. Plus, Cui Cui Tike had led the way once before, so he walked to the temple very smoothly.

There was chaos on the mountain, and chaos in the temple. All the Dao-Labor Ghosts were in a state of excitement. They knew the enemy had come before, but they wouldn't blame themselves excessively for lack of vigilance; they would only be ready for the next battle. Some were pushing each other, some were roaring, and a few were gathered together gambling with dice, wanting to see their luck tonight.

Li Li Banfeng ignored all the Dao-Labor Ghosts and walked straight to Wan Fang Puxian's side.

The only thing he needed to confirm now was one thing: how to kill Fang Fang Puxian.

For Cui Cui Tike and most cultivators, Fang Fang Puxian was a difficult existence to deal with, but for Li Li Banfeng, Wan Fang Puxian had no ability to counterattack at all.

His speed was far from keeping up with Li Li Banfeng, and the claws and teeth on his body had no meaning to Li Li Banfeng.

His lesions were his greatest weapon, but it was very difficult to make Li Li Banfeng catch a disease. Even if he accidentally caught his lesions, Li Li Banfeng had the confidence to resolve them with the High Pillow and No Worries technique. Even if he couldn't resolve them cleanly, there was still Cui Cui Tike to help him resolve them.

Wan Wan Jinxian's only capital was his physique. The only method Li Li Banfeng could think of to kill him at the moment was to let the wine gourd burn him with fire.

But could the wine gourd's fire really burn him?

Wan Fang Puxian sat on the altar and felt a little uneasy.

When Cui Cui Tike was fleeing, he saw another person beside Cui Cui Tike, but that person's movements were too fast, and he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly.

What kind of person was that? What was his background? Why did he come to interfere in the affairs of Dao-Dao Guiling?

To this day, Wan Wan Jinxian still maintained the habit of thinking one step further when encountering things.

But what he couldn't think of was that Li Li Banfeng was standing right beside him.

Li Li Banfeng raised his eyebrows, and Wan Fang Puxian's limbs fell to the ground.

He didn't use the wine gourd; he used the Five-Horse Dismemberment technique.

This move didn't seem to be effective against Wan Fang Puxian. The limbs that fell to the ground quickly returned to the torso. From connection to healing, it only took a few seconds. Fang Fang Puxian quickly returned to his original state, but he still couldn't find where the enemy was. He stood up, jumped a few steps, and found that he couldn't stand steadily.

His right leg hadn't recovered; his thigh, calf, and toes were all dismantled.

The thigh could recover, the calf could recover, but two toes wouldn't move.

Li Li Banfeng smiled. According to the mathematical definition, Fang Fang Puxian couldn't be infinitely subdivided.

This was easy to handle. Li Li Banfeng slowly revealed his figure, and a halo rippled under his feet.

Wan Fang Puxian shouted and led a group of Dao-Labor Ghosts to rush toward Li Li Banfeng. Roaring sounds in the temple were endless.

Cui Cui Tike held on in the cave for an hour. The Dao-Labor Ghosts attacking the cave were getting fewer and fewer. Cui Cui Tike realized that the center of the battlefield had shifted.

He let his subordinates continue to command the battle in the cave, while he manipulated the lesions to change his appearance,

and walked up Sage Peak.

On the hillside, he encountered a large number of excited Dao-Labor Ghosts. They were preparing to fight to defend the temple, but when they arrived near the temple, he found that the Dao-Labor Ghosts were dancing.

They raised their hands high, first bending down, and then looking up. This was a celebration of victory.

Wan Fang Puxian won?

Where did Li Qi go?

Cui Cui Tike walked into the temple cautiously, only to see Li Qi standing quietly in the center of the temple.

Under his feet, shattered flesh and blood were scattered. That flesh and blood should have belonged to Fang Fang Puxian, but they weren't moving.

"Hu-gu-ga!"

The Dao-Labor Ghosts surrounded Li Li Banfeng and let out a neat shout. They offered cheers to the new god.

What exactly happened?

Cui Cui Tike wasn't curious about how Li Qi defeated Fang Fang Puxian; this was originally something Li Qi was good at. He was curious about why these Dao-Labor Ghosts had undergone such a big change.

Li Li Banfeng signaled for Cui Cui Tike not to approach first. He said to Cui Cui Tike in a very low tone: "Their emotions are unstable. You wait outside the temple for a while and come in when the time is right."

Cui Cui Tike walked out of the temple. A large number of Dao-Labor Ghosts were still pouring in. They had originally come with fighting intent, but after entering the temple, Cui Cui Tike only heard waves of shouts higher than the last.

"Hu-gu-ga! Hu-gu-ga!"

This was exclusive to the Dao-Labor War God. Did they now recognize Li Qi as their War God?

Then how to count what was done before?

The stories, legends, dances, and totems he created, were these all invalid?

Could it be that Dao-Labor Ghosts only believe in the strong?

"Treating Li Qi as a new god is also good. After all, it was he and I who improved this group of creatures together." Cui Cui Tike comforted himself, but still felt unwilling.

"How much did I pay for them? How much did Li Qi pay? After the first improvement, Li Qi didn't take care of them at all!"

Not right. Dao-Labor Ghosts shouldn't only believe in the strong. Green Water Bow was very powerful, but couldn't gain the faith of the Dao-Labor Ghosts.

There must be other factors here, but it's just not clear for the time being whether these factors are on Li Qi or the Dao-Labor Ghosts.

Li Li Banfeng was thinking about the same question.

After he killed Wan Fang Puxian, the Dao-Labor Ghosts had a brief outburst of rage. Li Li Banfeng thought he would experience a bitter battle, but not long after, the battle ended, and the excited Dao-Labor Ghosts began the sacrificial ceremony around Li Li Banfeng.

As for the specific reason, Li Li Banfeng wasn't clear either. At this moment, it was difficult for him to concentrate on thinking. There was a wonderful feeling that was impacting his thoughts time and time again.

That feeling was like putting the Earth Deity Seal on his head, and human Qi was impacting his blood vessels.

The amount of human Qi wasn't too much, but every fluctuation of human Qi was very clear.

In the process of human Qi pouring in, Li Li Banfeng sensed the changes in his own body, which reminded him of Pan Pan Dehai's description of the source of human Qi.

The amount of human Qi, besides depending on the number of people, also depends on an important factor called sincerity.

Eating, drinking, and excreting is sincerity.

Talking about love is sincerity.

Gratitude to Seventh Master is sincerity.

Reverence for "Hu-gu-ga" is also sincerity.

Every shout of the Dao-Labor Ghosts was very sincere, so sincere that Li Li Banfeng directly sensed the purity of the human Qi.

High-purity human Qi seemed to be directly usable, allowing Li Li Banfeng to sense that his growth in cultivation was indeed increasing.

Calming down to sense it, Li Li Banfeng could sense something in the shouting, right behind him.

Hu-wei! Hu-wei!

Steam was spitting out rhythmically. This feeling was so familiar—it was the Leaving Suishenju. Li Li Banfeng sensed the Leaving Suishenju outside the Leaving Suishenju. He turned his head and could even see the outline of the locomotive.

He cut his fingertip and sprinkled some blood on the ground.

The Leaving Suishenju had fallen into a deep sleep and couldn't be changed now. In this situation, to what extent could he control the Closing the Door and Shutting the Windows technique?

He gently tapped the ground with his toe, and a halo slowly rippled out.

Very bright, very slow.

The halo passed through a group of Dao-Labor Ghosts. They looked curiously at the halo under their feet, and some Dao-Labor Ghosts couldn't help but bend down to touch it.

The halo was very hot, hot enough to make them retract their arms, but it was still within the range they could bear.

A little slower, a little gentler.

The halo rippled out layer by layer. The Dao-Labor Ghosts weren't injured; they regarded this halo as a miracle, and the sound waves of shouting grew higher and higher.

The light source spread to the edge of the temple and fixed around the walls. Not a single Dao-Labor Ghost was injured by the halo.

This was controllable!

Li Li Banfeng carefully controlled the boundary line. He had completed the control of the Residential Cultivation boundary line, but even he himself couldn't believe this was true.

The Residential Cultivation boundary line could not hurt people, provided that the control was precise enough.

The process of control was very complex. He had to repeatedly think about the source of power. The source of power was in the Leaving Suishenju.

He had to repeatedly present the outline of the Leaving Suishenju in his mind, including the details of every carriage.

The halo shuttled back and forth, and the fanatical Dao-Labor Ghosts gradually calmed down.

Li Li Banfeng slowly withdrew the halo and walked out of the temple. The Dao-Labor Ghosts all stood in place without moving, watching Li Li Banfeng leave.

From their perspective, they couldn't see Li Li Banfeng's appearance, but this didn't affect their piety toward Li Li Banfeng.

Cui Cui Tike was still waiting outside the temple. Seeing Li Li Banfeng walk out safe and sound, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "How exactly did you do it? Why could you replace Wan Wan Jinxian and become the Dao-Labor War God?"

Li Li Banfeng couldn't answer this question for the time being. There were many details he couldn't figure out either.

Walking on the mountain road, Li Li Banfeng shivered twice in succession. He remembered an important question.

"Where is Green Flower?"

Cui Cui Tike blinked: "Do you want to replace the Ancestor of Disease Cultivation too?"

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "I can't replace the Ancestor of Disease Cultivation. The only one who can replace him is you. You must replace him as soon as possible. Once he wakes up, things won't be so easy to deal with."

Cui Cui Tike thought for a while: "He shouldn't wake up. I'm sure he didn't get contaminated with Zhang Wanlong's medicinal powder."

Li Li Banfeng stopped: "This has nothing to do with Zhang Wanlong's medicinal powder. The reason Wan Fang Puxian was able to break through your lesions was not because he obtained the medicinal powder, but because his cultivation underwent changes."

Cui Cui Tike found this unbelievable: "He lived like a clay sculpture; I didn't give him too many opportunities to practice."

Li Li Banfeng didn't think so: "He has been practicing, practicing under the nourishment of human Qi. Before he came to Dao-Dao Guiling, he was still a land-level cultivator. At that time, he couldn't absorb human Qi.

After changing into a Dao-Labor Ghost, after a period of change, he had the ability to absorb human Qi. After his cultivation improved to a certain degree, he broke through your lesions.

But Green Flower's situation is different. He was originally a Cloud-Ascending cultivator. During this period, he has been receiving the nourishment of human Qi. Now his strength might have reached an immeasurable realm. If he cannot be controlled, the disaster he brings will be much more terrifying than Fang Fang Puxian's."

Cui Cui Tike thought for a long time. He was a smart person, and some problems could be figured out very quickly: "The human Qi you mentioned comes from the Dao-Labor Ghosts."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "This is the opportunity you created for them. You shaped the two of them into gods,

so they absorbed a large amount of human Qi rich in sincerity."

Cui Cui Tike organized his past memories: "I also shaped myself into a messenger of the gods. Many Dao-Labor Ghosts are very loyal to me."

Li Li Banfeng said: "So your cultivation also grew extremely fast."

Things were straightened out. Cui Cui Tike had to adjust his subsequent strategy.

The two walked all the way to the foot of the mountain. Cui Cui Tike said to Li Li Banfeng: "If I rely solely on groping and summarizing, it will be very difficult to get the answers you gave me. Did you also conduct in-depth research on Disease Cultivation and Dao-Labor Ghosts?"

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "I didn't research them before, but I should research them seriously in the future."

Cui Cui Tike smiled: "You don't have to tell me your research conclusions at all. You should know how precious this conclusion is to me."

"I told you the truth entirely out of our friendship."

Hearing Li Qi talk about friendship, Cui Cui Tike was very moved: "My friend, you are so honest with me, I shouldn't hide anything from you either. I will tell you the hiding place of the Ancestor now, and we will go see him together."

Dragging me into the water again.

Li Li Banfeng directly refused: "You go see him yourself. I believe this matter is still under your control."

Is it really under control?

To tell the truth, Cui Cui Tike didn't have full confidence either, but at the moment, he always felt he owed Li Qi something.

"Do you have anything to ask me? I will answer your questions very honestly."

Li Li Banfeng thought for a while and asked: "Is Zuo Anna really your sister?"

"Just this?" Cui Cui Tike shook his head, "She is surnamed Zuo, and I am surnamed Cui. We are definitely not biological siblings."

Li Li Banfeng frowned: "Can this also be considered honest? How could you be surnamed Cui?"

Cui Cui Tike shrugged his shoulders: "I am an Inner Outer Amikan person; you don't understand our customs and culture."

Li Qi left. Cui Cui Tike silently calculated an account in his heart.

Wan Fang Puxian's matter was solved, and the remuneration had been deposited with Li Qi through the deed.

Other matters also needed to be paid, and the value was not low.

Leaving Jianren Gang, Li Li Banfeng returned to the Leaving Suishenju. As soon as he pushed open the door, he found the room in a mess.

The bed was overturned, the shelves were knocked down, and books and newspapers were scattered all over the floor.

Li Li Banfeng could recognize at a glance that the bed on the ground was not the bed in the main room.

The phonograph stood by the bed and sighed: "Husband, little slave really can't understand. How could you use techniques outside the residence?"

Li Li Banfeng looked carefully at the messy furnishings and exclaimed: "This is the Sixth Room!"

The phonograph nodded: "Connecting the Cave Room, Husband has practiced it successfully." ===== CHAPTER 706 =====
