"Your Highness, this is the artifact we made. ”

On the ninth day of Zhao Gaomengtian's gambling contract, Zhao Zhiwen and Qian Zhenghe came to Yongle Hall with a painting scroll.

Ji Le nodded, and the two witches stepped forward and slowly opened the scroll.

Suddenly, the five-colored glow came to the face, and the entire Yongle Hall was bathed in the brilliance of the artifact.

And yet—

The inside of the scroll is blank, and there is no trace of painting.

"Your Highness, this is the 'Mountains and Rivers Society Map' that you requested. The blank screen symbolizes the earth, and you can interpret the mountains and rivers as long as you paint with mana. As for re-zeroing, just recite a spell and you'll be back to normal. ”

Ji Le saw the map of the mountains and rivers, his face showed joy, and he walked down the steps. Reaching out and stroking the blank scroll, he asked, "Where's the pen?"

Qian Zhenghe took out a pen holder from his sleeve, and there were seven brushes of different lengths, colors, and styles in it.

"What's the difference between these brushes?"

"There is not much difference, they are all pens made by us selecting the fur of the divine beast and the wood of the spirit bamboo. Of course, General Meng Tian also helped a lot. ”

Meng Tian is the ancestor of the pen, although it was sealed by later generations, but it also gave Meng Tian an extra wisp of divinity. He used his divine power to help Ji Le refine these seven brushes.

Ji Le took the pen holder and touched his fingers over the seven brushes one by one. Each pen gives him a completely different feeling. There is warmth, there is coldness, there is violence, there is evil...... Each pen, depending on the material, transmits the corresponding energy properties.

Zhao Zhiwen explained: "We couldn't find those pigments that His Highness needed, so these pens replaced the role of pigments in a sense. ”

According to Ji Le's original idea, pigments were extracted from various minerals for the drawings and paintings of the mountains and rivers.

However, the preparation process of various pigments was too troublesome, and Wu Li took the Linggong Wu Qi to the nearby mines to select, and only made a few colors such as red, blue, black, and purple.

So, Zhao Zhiwen and Qian Zhenghe came up with another way. Still let Ji Le use mana as a pigment, with the brushes of various attributes, to leave the corresponding attribute power on the scroll.

"Your Highness, you see. This vermilion brush uses red fox tail hair as the tip of the brush, and as long as your divine power is activated, it will carry the power of the fire attribute to the scroll. ”

"This blue pen is carved from water jade, which is suitable for painting rivers and oceans. ”

The two explained the attributes of the seven brushes, and finally Ji Le picked out the brush that gave him a cold feeling.

Zhao Zhiwen's heart jumped, and he recalled the origin of this brush: the barrel of this pen is polished from the vertebrae of the mandrill, and the tip of the pen is the hair of the mandrill.

Qian Zhenghe: "This pen has its own yin energy, and it has the ability to attract ghosts. ”

"That's it. ”

Ji Le picked up the pen with his right hand and touched it lightly with his left hand on the map of mountains and rivers. The golden ripples rippled on the blank scroll, as if there was something hidden inside, evolving the other world.

"It is worthy of being an artifact shaped by the creation of gold crystal. If there was a classification for this artifact, it would be the artifact of creation. ”

Creation has the meaning of creation, biochemistry, education, good fortune and destiny. It symbolizes the creative power of nature and constitutes the destiny of the entire world.

And the Creation Golden Crystal is a creator-level divine power condensation, and it also happens to be the origin power of this world.

Therefore, this map of mountains and rivers, which has the main power of the earth's creation, has all kinds of wonderful divine powers. Standing here, Ji Le sensed the vigorous breath of life.

However, the moment Ji Le put down the pen, the breath of life in the picture scroll was suddenly covered by death.

Zhao Qian saw that the black line drawn by Ji Le was like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, bringing boundless death and fear.

Ji Le's eyes were solemn, and he took the brush and continued to paint. Soon, with that black line as the main body, a black and gray land was outlined.

"Not bad. With this pen, according to the purity and use of Mother Earth's divine power, it can apply many dark tones of color. And it's simpler than the average way of painting. ”

As long as he follows the idea in Ji Le's mind, this pen will spit out divine power, attach the ghostly energy to the scroll, and construct the picture in his mind.

The desolate and gloomy eerie black land exudes an eerie aura that makes people's hearts hairy.

Su Zhi smiled reluctantly and walked to Ji Le's side: "This realm is so dark?

"No, it's the Nine Shadows, the underworld I conceived. ”

At the same time, it is also a resting place for the souls of the people.

As this piece of underworld took shape, Ji Le could feel that the Shanhe Society Diagram itself was constantly giving power to the painting, transforming it into a narrow fragment of space.

Ji Le said to Zhao Qian and the others: "Your refining skills are really good. ”

"Your Highness, this is not our technology. It's the change that the gold crystal throws into the scroll and brings about by itself. ”

Originally, according to Zhao Zhiwen's calculations, it would take at least twelve days to refine this artifact. And it's just a carrier that bears Ji Le's divine power, and it doesn't have much wonderful power. After it can be integrated into the golden crystal, the quality of the artifact will be sublimated, and it will be turned into a natural treasure, and there is no trace of artificiality at all.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Ji Le looked at the Mountains and Rivers Society again, and thought to himself: Can a single Creation Gold Crystal have such an effect? So what if there are a few more? No wonder those gods set up a salt ritual sacrifice and try to extract divine power crystals from the divine power derivatives of the three creators.

After the death of the god of the sea and the mother earth, their creator power dispersed into this world and became the origin power of the world's operation. And the rest of the gods have been promoted to god-king and become the master of the world, who dares to run to him and steal divine power?

Therefore, everyone can only sneak out of the sea and the salt mines on the earth, plus the little light that the sun god has escaped.

Moreover, His Majesty the God King himself is also collecting the Creation Golden Crystal. They can't eat meat, can't they drink soup?

Feng'e, these young gods, didn't understand the magic of salt crystal, but several main gods knew it.

After they receive the pure salt offered by the mortal world, they will condense into salt crystals and purify them into creation gold crystals. Then use these golden crystals to incorporate them into your artifacts or increase your divine powers.

Generally speaking, it takes several main gods to obtain a Creation Gold Crystal in a year. This is also the bottom line of the God-King's permission. Anything more, and the God-King will intervene.

"It was a coincidence that I was able to get this crystal. If you want to continue refining, I'm afraid you'll have to ask the gods for help in refining the secret arts. Like that Poseidon?"

Ji Le thought as he depicted the Nine Nether Lands.

In the scroll, the territory of the Netherland is getting bigger and bigger, and the black Netherworld aura has begun to surge outward from the scroll. And Ji Le can feel even more that there is a real ghost born in the map of the mountains and rivers

At this time, Ji Le stopped his pen and stared at the scroll. He took out another golden brush from the pen holder and sketched a magnificent city in the middle of the underworld.

"Youdu!" Zhao Zhiwen and the others couldn't help but think of this concept.

This is the city of the underworld where the souls live!

The towering city gate is tightly closed, white lanterns are hung in the eaves everywhere, and there is a plaque in front of the city gate, which is written with two strange Yin seals of "Netherworld".

Suddenly, Ji Le reached out and gently pulled on the scroll. The surrounding underworld vanished, and the secluded capital grew larger and larger, and the perspective changed from a distant view to a top-down view.

Ji Le changed his pen and sketched the streets of the ghost town and some landmarks on the top view. In the opinion of Su Zhi and others, the so-called buildings can match many buildings in Jiugong City.

For example, the hell that is responsible for managing the ghost people is clearly the location of the royal court. And the place of sacrifice where the Spirit Palace is located has been transformed into a Yin Lord Divine Palace.

Ji Le's pen tip was tapped, and ghost trees grew in the city, also full of white cages and black flags.

Then, Ji Le changed to a distant scene again, re-depicting the scenery of the underworld, and arranging black crows, black tigers, and other underworld creatures outside the city.

"Can it still be like this?" Zhao Zhiwen and the others were amazed when they saw Ji Le's continuous exploration and study of the wonderful use of the Mountains and Rivers Society Map.

Ji Le had just gotten the Creation Artifact, and he had just created a small world in it.

In the end, Ji Le was still not satisfied. He also drew a ghost and god at the gate of the hidden capital. This god tiger has three eyes, its body is like a cow, holding nine ropes, hideous and fierce.

Suddenly made Qian Zhenghe and the others think of the legendary ghost god Tubo in their homeland.

"Could it be that this is the god of guarding the secluded capital made by His Highness?"

"Not yet!" shouted when Ji Le drew the image of the ghost and god. The image in front of him shimmered with golden light, and the ghost and god jumped up from the scroll and landed on the main hall.

Suddenly, the bloody air came to his face.

"Ahh

"Your Highness can still paint and create things? No, it's a god?"

Under the observation of Zhao Qian and the others, this Tubo is clearly a great spirit-level ghost god.

"You two fight him. Ji Le held the pen and instructed Qian Zhenghe, Zhao Zhiwen and Tu Bo to make a move.

Seeing the vicious ghosts and gods with bloody hands on their backs and sharp horns on their heads, the two alchemists took out magic weapons and fought with the ghosts and gods.

The two of them coincidentally chose the True Fire Divine Flame taught by the Taiping Sect. This is the fire of masculinity, which is dedicated to overcoming evil things.

The red flames scorched the blood from the netherworld, and Tubo circled around the two for a long time, unable to find a flaw in the attack. It didn't take long for this Tubo to regain his vitality and return to the Netherworld.

"After all, it's just a painting, and it doesn't have much combat power. Ji Le was a little disappointed by this, and added three ghosts and gods and a tree and a tiger in addition to Tubo.

The peach trees are full of flowers, a rare touch of brilliance in this gloomy and dim underworld.

There are three gods under the tree. One of them led the tiger, and the other two stood on the other side.

Zhao Zhiwen's heart moved: "Could it be that this is the three gods of Zongbu, Shendi and Yulei?"

The god Zongbu is the ghost god who leads the tiger and carries the bow and arrow. It is also the name of the god given by Ji Le to the ancestral spirit of the Ayang tribe.

Qian Zhenghe: "Legend has it that the god Zongbu led the tiger to distinguish between good and evil. As long as the tiger comes up and smells it, it can eat the evil spirit. ”

"That's right, it's him. ”

As for the other two, they also have the duty of monitoring good and evil. One is called a god, and the other is a Yulei, and it is regarded as a door god in later generations. In the interpretation of the novel, it is the prototype of clairvoyance and tailwind ears.

After drawing the images of the four ghosts and gods one after another, Ji Le felt that the mana consumption was a bit large, so he put away the scroll and sealed the netherworld map in the mountain and river society map.

After a period of time and the prototype of the underworld is truly shaped, you can put it under the Spirit Mountain, and you can evolve the underworld of the Xia Kingdom.

"At that time, I have a way back to transform into a Netherworld Lord. ”

Among the eight masters of the Xia Kingdom, there is a Yin Lord who has no authority. As long as Ji Le is good at inducing, he can push himself to the altar and become the god of death in this world in the name of the Yin Lord.
