Jiangxia has only been in Kumu Realm for a short time.
But among the three major forces under the Immortal Alliance, he has already come into contact with Taofuyuan.
If we count the time when Wang Liufu went to Mingliyuan to be punished and whipped because of the star array incident, then we can say that we have come into contact with the iron-faced and ruthless Mingliyuan.
The only one left is the Qintian Academy, which is in charge of all matters related to the Star Array Secret Realm.
This is the most mysterious of the three major organizations under the Immortal Alliance. According to Wang Liufu and Shi Liu, ordinary cultivators, unless they search for star arrays and treasures, will probably never have any intersection with the Qintian Academy in their entire lives.
Its presence in the Immortal Alliance is quite low, but according to Shi Liu, an "insider", the Qintian Academy has a very high status in the Immortal Alliance system.
It is said that once the Qintianyuan issued an order, Taofuyuan and Mingliyuan had to cooperate unconditionally.
All in all, it's a place full of mystery.
It looks very much like the legendary “relevant departments”.
A few days ago, Rogge and his companions were brought back to Kumu Realm. When they received the news, they did not delay and gathered together immediately. Wang Liufu used the Earth Moving Plate to move them directly to the City God Temple.
When Jiang Xia woke up from the brief dizziness caused by the movement, he saw that not only the City God was there.
Shi Liu was there too. This little mountain monster had gained weight and looked a little bloated. He had a red peach charm from Tao Fu Yuan hanging on his chest and was winking at him.
I didn’t take the game console this time.
Probably because of the seriousness of the situation.
Even the two mortals, Governor Hong and Lord Sun, who had not been seen for a long time, were taken to the City God Temple.
In the center of them stood a middle-aged monk with a solemn expression.
He was holding a whisk, had his hair combed into a Taoist bun, and wore Taoist robes with a dark long gown underneath. He looked old-fashioned, but he was well maintained and had no wrinkles on his face.
But his long gray hair showed that he was old .
And his robe was very peculiar.
The black background is covered with golden circular lines.
It should be a rubbing of the star map. It looks very mysterious. With Jiang Xia's level of astrology, he can only recognize the Big Dipper and a star map connection that is suspected to be the Ursa Major.
This should be the mysterious monk from Qintian Temple.
They have a unique name, called "Gao Gong".
It's a respectful title.
"Dong Gaogong, the thirty-seven ascenders who fell into my Ku Mu realm due to the private opening of the star array by the mortal villains in Ruyifang are all here. Please cast a spell."
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Cui Chenghuang said something to Dong Gaogong with great respect.
The monk nodded without saying anything. He glanced at the field, twirled his long beard, and looked at the pomegranate that was flying obediently in the air.
Speaking of:
"Local Supervisor, please repeat what happened that day."
Pomegranate dare not neglect.
Using his shrill voice, he repeated what he remembered. Jiang Xia noticed that while Dong Gaogong was listening, he had been making a strange seal with his left hand.
There was also a dreamy light in his eyes, flowing endlessly like a yin-yang fish.
This is probably some kind of memory check spell.
After Shi Liu finished speaking, Dong Gaogong nodded, then looked at Governor Hong and Lord Sun, asking them to repeat their contact with the ascenders, still with a spell check.
At last, Governor Hong bowed and said:
"Dong Gaogong, these ascenders have knowledge of mundane weapons that are very useful to our Fengming country. Please show mercy to them. Our country will still rely on them in the future."
"Well, Lord Yang has already submitted a letter to the Immortal Alliance regarding the replacement of your country's weapons, and has also received the approval of the Tao Fu Academy. This cultivator will keep those knowledge memories.
But you must not reveal your origins to them anymore.”
Dong Gaogong said softly, then looked at Wang Liufu and said:
"This matter will be supervised by Mo Shuangshan. If anything goes wrong, your sect will be fully responsible."
"yes."
Wang Liufu performed the etiquette of a monk and nodded in agreement.
It seems that the Imperial Astronomical Academy is indeed very important. He gave the order in a normal tone, and directed the supervision of the Taofu Academy and the Immortal Alliance Sects in the same way as he spoke normally.
"Come over here, don't be afraid, and relax."
The monk from the Qintian Academy waved to Roger, Su, Jasmine, Julie, Malte and thirty-seven other people. His tone was gentler this time.
He even smiled at the tiny, fearful-looking Jasmine.
This is obviously not the first time dealing with Ascendants.
"I know that you must have resentment in your hearts. No one wants to experience this memory erasure."
Dong Gaogong took a step forward and placed the whisk diagonally in his arms.
He spoke in a gentle tone, without putting on airs, and said to Rogge and his group in a very peaceful manner:
“But the Immortal Alliance has its rules, and the star array has been destroyed. You can no longer return to your own secret realm. Leaving those memories behind will only make you more miserable and deprive you of your freedom.
It is better to disperse completely and just think of it as an absurd dream. From now on, you can be the creatures of my Ku Mu Realm. The Fengming Kingdom court is willing to accept you.
Then life will not be miserable.
Don’t worry.”
"Master Monk, we understand."
As the leader, Rogge will play himself.
He imitated the local etiquette, bowed to Dong Gaogong, and said sincerely:
"The place we came from was as miserable as hell. Being able to stay in the peaceful and tranquil Kumu Realm for a long time is the greatest relief for us.
We have no resentment in our hearts, we only long for a new life, so please cast a spell, Master Monk."
"Um?"
This statement made Dong Gaogong stunned for a moment.
He didn't say much, but chanted a spell with his left hand. In an instant, a gust of spiritual wind blew up, pressing down on the entire City God Temple like a wall.
The aura was not strong.
But it was like an invisible wind, pushing Jiang Xia and pushing him several steps away.
Dong Gaogong was seen standing in the spiritual wind again, with the whisk in his hand raised, and a jade seal hung in front of him. The black and white spell of the Yin-Yang fish that appeared in his eyes before reappeared.
Using the jade seal as a carrier, it transformed into two streams of light, entwining in front of the body.
The light was visible to the naked eye and was very gentle.
To Rogge and others, it seemed like there was a rotating array in front of them.
Just looking a few more times, even the soul seemed to be sucked in. The Yin-Yang fish spun faster and faster, and the thirty-seven wasteland warriors became dull at the same time.
Their brain chips frantically sounded the alarm, triggering a surge in electricity in an attempt to wake up the warriors.
But it didn't work.
This gentle magical spell penetrated into everyone's minds and began to trim their memories like a delicate surgery.
Dong Gaogong's expression became quite complicated at this moment.
As a spellcaster who also practiced the secret art of the soul, he could naturally see everyone 's memories. The memories of these thirty-seven people were more or less the same.
Everyone's life is different.
But their tragedy is the same.
The monk saw that Rogge was born in a strange city that was as dark as the underworld, and grew up, learned, and became a scholar under the training of a puppet made of mechanical devices.
We also saw that these people had some "magic tools" implanted in their brains since childhood.
A slot was also opened at the back of the brain.
The memory of the brain insertion operation and the scene of opening the skull to insert something made the knowledgeable Dong Gaogong feel a little uncomfortable.
There's also a sense of horror.
In the Ku Mu Realm, even the most vicious and evil cultivators would not do such a thing.
But for these people, it is commonplace.
He continued to look.
Then I saw a group of people being fought by their peers, and in the tragic death chase, they desperately tried to escape from the gloomy city, and suffered heavy casualties in the pursuit of the mechanical people.
They rode their iron horses in the desolate desert, fighting their wits and courage with their pursuers.
Life was very miserable and supplies were quite scarce.
Until one day, when he was out on patrol, he accidentally found Jiang Xia who had fallen into the desolate secret realm. After some communication, he found another star array and then returned to the Ku Mu Realm.
And in the fight in the pit, he accidentally destroyed the star array.
The details are slightly different.
But the basics are consistent with what the Supervisory Pomegranate said and what the mortal governor said.
"Alas, poor man."
After all, Dong Gaogong is old and has a soft heart.
Old men are always sentimental. Monks are also human beings. Except for some extreme ones who insist on forgetting emotions, most monks’ actions and words are no different from those of ordinary people.
He looked at Jasmine again, who had a dazed look on her face. This girl reminded him of his little granddaughter.
Same age.
His own granddaughter, however, is dressed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, and is spoiled beyond measure.
But the girl in front of me has already experienced life and death, and everything that she shouldn't experience at her age.
Fortunately.
She finally escaped from that desolate hell.
She also found a job in Ku Mu Realm to support her family. In Jasmine's memory, her boss was very nice to her and she liked this new world very much.
The emotions hidden deep in this memory cannot be faked.
Cleansing memories with secret methods is a very delicate matter.
It took Dong Gaogong some time to complete it. While maintaining the secret rotation of the Yin-Yang fish, he stepped forward and stroked Jasmine's hair.
Then he gently flicked the back of her head.
The bionic material was pushed aside, allowing Dong Gaogong to see with his own eyes the brain socket that each of these wastelanders had. The delicate, steel socket extended all the way into the brain.
Of course, there are mechanical blocks, and the brain cannot be seen.
But even so, Dong Gaogong couldn't bear it.
He reached out his hand again and pinched Jasmine’s left arm. Although the touch was no different from that of ordinary human skin, as his divine sense probed into it, he could clearly feel the steel hidden inside.
"How unfortunate it is to be born in hell."
The monk sighed softly.
The old man kindly brushed Jasmine's hair. He had compassion and wanted to use the healing medicine he carried with him to help the girl regenerate her broken limbs.
But then he thought that he was not proficient in Mohist mechanical technology. From what he saw in the memories of these wastelanders, this steel prosthesis was connected to the strange chips in their brains.
If you do something good with bad intentions, you will end up harming the girl.
Thinking of this, Dong Gaogong turned around and said to Wang Liufu:
“These ascenders are in special circumstances.
There are sophisticated Mohist mechanisms in their bodies, so I changed their memories to make them related to you, Mo Shuangshan, so that once they find something wrong with their bodies.
Nor will it cause any trauma to the soul.
As for their status, the mechanisms in their bodies are much more powerful than those of ordinary people. If they were to be released into the mortal world, it would bring trouble. It would be better to record them as your Mo Shuang Mountain clan.
Is that okay?"
"Well, that's good."
Wang Liufu replied somewhat embarrassedly:
"But I am just a small outer sect elder and cannot make the decision on such matters."
"It doesn't matter. Since this is related to the secret realm, my Qintian Academy will naturally contact your sect."
Dong Gaogong smiled.
Wang Liufu and Jiang Xia looked at each other, nodded and said:
"Then please ask the high priest to contact my master and record them as my master's family. My master and I are both ascended monks, so we can be said to be in the same boat with them.
We will take good care of them.”
"Why not register as outer disciples?"
Jiang Xia rolled his eyes and offered advice:
"Anyway, Elder, you have dismissed all the outer disciples who are not worthy of the title. The outer sect also needs manpower to operate, so this is justified."
"Well, that's fine."
Wang Liufu thought about it and looked at the group of dazed wasteland warriors. As a Mohist, he was also very curious about the sophisticated prosthetics in these people's bodies.
Then he went down the hill with his donkey and said:
"Then I will take advantage of the opportunity of my sect's talent selection ceremony to recruit them."
Dong Gaogong did not participate in these matters. He looked back and then set his eyes on Jiang Xia. He said to this young cultivator in the Qi training stage:
"Come here too. I have to look at your memory as well."
"oh."
Jiang Xia was a little nervous, but he looked as calm as an old dog. He took a step forward, closed his eyes, opened his sea of ​​consciousness, and allowed Dong Gaogong's spiritual thoughts to penetrate into it.
He didn't have a brain plug, so he couldn't adjust or modify the memory data.
But he believed Mr. Crow's assurance.
That person was able to modify the memory of a monster like Pomegranate, and did it perfectly, so that even the mysterious monk in front of him could not detect it. So there should be no problem with his own memory.
This is indeed the case.
Dong Gaogong used a secret method to probe into Jiang Xia's consciousness, scanned his memories, and verified them with the wasteland warriors. They were almost identical. All of Jiang Xia's secrets seemed to have disappeared at that moment.
This mysterious master used the secret method of the soul to investigate, and found that Jiang Xia's sea of ​​consciousness was clean.
Clearly, the bare star sea tree is standing in the sea of ​​consciousness.
But when the high-level master's mind swept across the vast sea of ​​white light, it was as if he saw nothing at all.
Jiang Xia didn't know what realm Dong Gaogong was in, but he was definitely not a powerful being in the Bitter Sea Realm. Mr. Crow had said before that he was strong enough to defeat several powerful people in the Bitter Sea Realm.
The secret method he set up was obviously not something that the master in front of him could decipher.
After a few breaths, Monk Dong withdrew his spiritual thoughts. After confirming that there was no doubt about it, he smiled at Jiang Xia and went back to preside over the rotating Yin-Yang fish magic weapon.
After ten breaths, the magic jade seal of the Yin-Yang fish was taken back.
The wind that gathered spiritual energy also dissipated. He turned around, bowed to the other people in the courtyard, and said loudly:
"This matter is over. I will go to Mo Shuang Mountain. You should be kind to these poor people. Their memories have been rebuilt. Don't mention those hellish scenes again.
Fellow Taoists, we'll meet again someday."
After saying that, Dong Gaogong took a step forward. His tall and straight figure was blown away by the breeze, turning into thin clouds and smoke, and then there was dancing glow in the sky, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Elder, what realm is he in?"
Jiang Xia asked in a low voice.
Wang Liufu beside him shrugged and said:
“This cultivator cannot see through him, but seeing that he is restrained in his aura and his divine light is not scattered like a mortal, he has returned to his original nature. He is at least in the realm of cultivating the divine, or even in the realm of seeking the way.
The Imperial Academy is mysterious and they practice secret techniques, so who can guess what's going on?"
"All right."
Jiang Xia glanced at the people who had woken up one after another in the courtyard. He thought for a moment and then said to Wang Liufu:
"I still have to settle them. The elder will come over tomorrow. I have something confidential to tell you about some ideas about our sect's outer sect.
Maybe we can reform it.
It's a shame to leave such a good foundation unused."
