Chapter seven hundred and fourteenth full of ghosts
"I haven't counted it. This area is about 300,000."
"Thirty-hundreds of thousands? Is it just this one? How many are there nearby?" Tianyou felt that his eyes were almost glaring out. The density of this ghost mouth is ridiculous.
The senior brother was very calm and thought for a while and said, "There are more than twenty living areas like this in front of them."
"There are six or seven million wandering souls in this ghost place?"
"Well. What? I think it's too much?" The senior brother asked calmly: "Do you know how long can the wandering soul exist before it completely dissipates?"
Tianyou shook his head and said he didn't know.
"270 years." The senior brother looked at Tianyou and replied, "This is the most conservative estimate. If it is as rich as the Yin Qi and there is no external interference, it will grow for at least five hundred years, and it will grow for more than a thousand years."
"Thousand Years?" Tianyou felt that his views were refreshed.
The senior brother asked back, "Do you still think it's too much now?"
Tianyou thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's really not much."
Wandering souls are formed after human death, which means that the base comes from human reproductive ability.
Although the technology of Shenzhou Continent is backward, the medical conditions are not good, and the mortality rate remains high, the natural conditions are good, and the population birth rate has always been very high. In addition, there is no limit on the childbirth age here. Many people are already the father of several children before Tianyou's age. Although these children may not be able to grow up, the age of Wanhun is not limited. Therefore, the population birth rate is high, and the number of Wanhuns will inevitably not be small. In addition, the population population of the dead soul is very slow, and the accumulation of six or seven million ghosts should not be too many, but the number is too small.
So many wandering souls gather in an area that is less than a large area of ordinary small county towns, so you can imagine the density. Thanks to these wandering souls, they are basically homeless and do not need any outdoor activities. Otherwise, what Tianyou and the others saw here would probably be the sights of tourist attractions during the May Day Golden Week.
Looking at so many wandering souls, it would be impossible for Tianyou to have no thoughts in his heart. However, his idea was not to do charity.
What our country has always advocated is to teach people how to fish instead of how to teach people how to fish. There are so many wandering souls, but only a person or an organization can't do anything. Besides, no one has to do anything for them. However, seeing so many wandering souls waiting for death here day after day, it seems a little unbearable.
So, Tianyou made a decision - he wanted to recruit workers.
Generally speaking, wandering souls are the most useless beings. These guys cannot carry their shoulders and cannot hold them. They can be said to be unable to do anything, otherwise they will not be excluded from the undead clan. Even the real undead clan hoards wandering souls as food, so you can imagine how useless it is.
Moreover, this wandering soul not only has weak abilities, but you cannot strengthen it yet.
The way soul-based creatures eat is to devour the soul. For example, evil spirits will devour each other and like to eat the souls of living people. However, the wandering soul has weak consciousness and is already stupid. Once they eat other souls, the consciousness of the two will merge with each other. In other words, whether A eats B or B eats A, the last thing left is a new soul that is neither A nor B. And because of inconsistent thoughts, this soul will likely become manic, and then only has common attributes such as hunger, and gradually embark on the path of constantly devouring other spirits and evolving into evil spirits.
The wandering soul is incomplete and cannot practice at all. In addition, it cannot rely on "eating" to replenish the soul, so it will naturally completely block the upward channel. Of course, it is not impossible to save the country in a curve. First, eat Haisai and become a super evil spirit, and then realize the way of killing, so as to become a Buddha immediately, it is not really impossible to turn back to the right path. But... the investment is too great, and the probability of success is slim, which is really not a good idea.
Wandering souls have no use value to most creatures. Except for the evil spirits, they eat them as food, they will naturally not be cared about by creatures. Those who give them certain care for them like their senior brothers are considered kind-hearted, and naturally they will not do more.
However, the above are all based on the premise that the wandering soul has no value.
It is true that there is no place in the Divine Continent that allows the wandering souls to function, but... the demons can.
Just now, Tianyou secretly communicated with the witch. The demons actually have extraordinary skills in manipulating other people's souls, which is completely different from the forces of the various races in the Shenzhou Continent. They are worthy of being a race from outside the world wall.
Because no other forces had learned about the technology of the demon clan before, no one knew how to use Wandering Souls, but now Tianyou has the witch as a subordinate, so naturally he has a way to let the Wandering Souls play a role.
"Senior Brother. If I want to take these wandering souls away, I wonder if there is any restrictions?" Although there is no management here, it is the territory of Zixiao Palace after all, and Tianyou thinks it is better to ask.
The senior brother who had been very calm before showed a surprised expression for the first time. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted and asked, "Do you want to take these wandering souls away? Where do you take them?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I just have this idea."
"You don't think you want to practice those spirit-eating techniques, right?"
People who practice practice mainly practice their own souls, and no matter how bad the wandering soul is, they are still serious souls. Therefore, some people who are too poor in qualifications cannot walk through the right path, feel hopeless in their practice, or those who are cheating and wanting to practice but cannot endure hardships, think of the evil way of practicing directly devouring other people's souls.
Not to mention. Although there is a problem with the method, this direction can really be achieved. In the early stage, the entry will be very fast and the diligence will be fast. No wonder the senior brother suspected that Tianyou wanted to go to the evil path.
Of course, Tianyou will definitely not really practice this kind of evil magic. The basic moral concepts are not discussed first. The ability of this spirit-devouring technique to be called the evil path itself shows the problem. I won’t talk about the great change in temperament and falling into the demon path. In the later stage of cultivation, it is even more difficult to take steps, and there are few great successes. Moreover, in Tianyou’s opinion, the above are not the biggest problems, and the biggest problem of this evil magic is actually not popular and can easily be destroyed by other monks.
After all, humans are still social animals, and even monks are unlikely to not be exposed to society. Therefore, the basic social morality must be abide by if you don’t want to become a rat crossing the street.
