Chapter 223 Under the Ancient City of Painted Skin
For seven days in a row, Lake took the Xiaoice girl to Lin Hua'er to sketch others, and there was an endless stream of people who came to paint portraits, and every day Lake painted half a day, he painted five portraits.
On the eighth day, Xiaoice Nu, who had sharpened pencils for seven days in a row, decided not to go and practiced in the monastery.
The person who sharpened the pencil was replaced from Xiaoice Girl to Miss Lin Hua'er, and the people were very happy.
When he was free, Lin Hua'er made a pencil out of charcoal, and Lei Ke handed it over to Lin Hua'er to draw, holding the delicate little hand with his big hand, which inevitably touched, full of fragrance, and the little maid Cui'er standing on the side just frowned and did not speak.
After more than ten days, Lake had just finished painting a portrait of a person this morning, and on the first day, Wang Yuan, who had painted a self-portrait, came out.
and brought ten taels of gold.
"Shaoxia, you must accept it."
Lake accepted it with a smile, and at this moment, Lake saw a black mole on the outer eyebrows of the king up close.
Lake remembers that this black mole was not there when he painted him the other day.
A few days ago, when Lake painted Wang Yuanwai, there was a portrait, and when he painted him a few days ago, he paused and clicked more.
The king in front of him is a skin ghost, Lake thought, Wang Yuan is using his own sketches to cast spells as skin.
Finally found you, Skinghost, Lake wondered if he should do it right away and take out the golden rod and slap this Skinghost to death.
However, Lake thought that this was a gold-level difficulty dungeon, so it was safer to go back to the old monk.
Just then, Lake noticed a few more people who had asked him to paint a few days ago.
This look can startle Lake, these people are all a little different from the appearance of the other day when he painted, you can't see it if you don't look closely, and these small differences are left by his poor painting.
Seeing this, Lake's heart raced.
I found those who he had painted portraits in the crowd, and they were all ghosts!
Seeing this, Lake's palms holding the pen sweated.
The entire Tianfeng City is a painted skin ghost, and the old monks in the temple are people, and the heavens are online at the very beginning, and the temple is the last safe haven.
That's why the rest of the city is magnificent, except for the temples.
And for more than ten days, there was not a single pilgrim who came to worship the Buddha.
Ghost! There is no need to worship the Buddha.
The difficulty of the Golden Beginner Tier! Lake sighed in his heart.
There are only one or two ghosts in the black iron level dungeon, and the golden primary-level ghost is full of ghosts.
Outside of a king, Lake still dares to fight, but the city is full of skin ghosts, and Lake can only continue to pretend to do nothing without finding out.
Lin Hua'er should also be a ghost.
Lake was a little disappointed.
But Lake still pretended to have done nothing and continued to paint the portrait of the ghost, and then took his leave and left.
When I returned to the temple, I found that the fat man didn't go to drink flower wine today, did they also find something abnormal.
"Lake, do you still have any money? These days drinking, we spend all the money. The macho man on the side said.
As soon as the words came out, Lake knew that he was thinking too much.
When Zhutian entered the dungeon online, he gave some money, and it was absolutely no problem to spend it normally, and it would be absolutely fine to spend a month.
But I can't stand drinking flower wine and watching belly dancing every day, and it's been spent in half a month.
"Go and call the Xiaoice girl practicing next door, I have something to announce, very important, I found the painting ghost!" Lake said solemnly.
A few minutes later, the Xiaoice girl came.
Five people arrived.
"I've found out that the Skinner, our dungeon has really increased in difficulty.
I went to the studio today and found that the people I painted for the past few days were all ghosts.
They made a skin out of my paintings, and according to this probability, the people who appeared in the entire Tianfeng City except for this place are ghosts. ”
"Ninicol is a ghost too?" The fat man asked.
"You can't be wrong." Lake replied. "There are still twelve days left in the online copy time of the heavens, you continue to stay in the temple for these twelve days, don't go out, I will continue to go to the workshop to paint every day."
"Since the city is full of ghosts, Lake, don't go, stay here." Xiaoice said.
"No, I don't want to paint the skin ghost during this time, not only because of the daytime, but also because I need to paint the painting, so I can't help but don't do anything to us, for everyone's safety, I have to go."
"I'll go with you," Macho said.
"I'll go too."
"I'm going along."
The other four said.
"No, don't go, I can still run back alone if I'm in danger, take you with me, it's hard to break through with too many people." Lake said.
In this way, Lake continued to go to the studio every day and instructed Lin Hua'er to sketch every day.
It's the last day, and Lake is going to say goodbye to Lin Hua'er, and tomorrow it's time to leave this ancient city of painted skin.
Although it is a Gold beginner difficulty, it is quite safe. Lake thought to himself. At this time, he did not know that the real danger was coming.
Lake goes to the studio.
In the temple, the Xiaoice girl had just gotten up.
"Suspicious, how do I feel a little different today." Xiaoice said.
"Today is the last day, so it's good to be safe. I didn't feel any different! The fat man stretched.
"The old monk didn't knock on the stone today." Xiaoice finally noticed the difference.
"Yes, did the old monk oversleep today, and usually started knocking on his Buddha statue as soon as it was dawn, or knocked it out?" Macho said.
A few people came to the main hall of the temple while talking, and found that the old monk was dying leaning against the stone statue, the Buddha statue except for the facial features were knocked out, and the hammer in the old monk's hand fell to the ground.
"Abbot, what's wrong with you," the macho man went over and helped the old monk to sit upright.
"My limit has arrived, a few donors, the city is full of ghosts, you get out of here quickly, they don't dare to come if I live.
It's not safe here when I'm dead. It's a pity that I couldn't finish knocking the stone body of the Buddha before I died.
Nan Wu Amitabha, "After saying this Buddha name, the old monk died."
A few people, you look at me, I look at you.
In the end, it was decided to bury the old monk under the old locust tree in front of the temple.
Arriving at the workshop, Lake paints portraits of the five ghosts. Then Lake looked at Lin Hua'er beside him.
"Painting, I'm going to be out of here in a few days, and I'll give you a few brushes," said Lake, pulling out the remaining three and a half pencils in his hand.
"Young Master Lei, stay in Tianfeng City, my parents went early, and Cui'er and I are watching the studio, and you stay as the owner of the workshop." Saying this, his face turned a little red, "I, I can promise to marry you." ”
Lin Hua'er still said it boldly.
"Well, I like you too, but I haven't gained fame yet, so when I get in, I'll come back and marry you."
"We don't need fame, we just need to live here." Lin Hua'er continued, "You paint, I'll sharpen the pencil for you. Just like these days. ”
"No, my ambition is not to paint." Lake refused with a serious expression.
At this moment, the sky suddenly became overcast, and thunder began to thunder. Lin Hua'er looked at the black clouds in the sky, and she felt that the ghost qi was rising into the sky.
"It's not good, Lei Gongzi, this is my personal jade pendant, for you, the old monk is dead, you, you leave this city quickly, quickly, leave immediately." Never come back. ”
"I'm going to leave with my friends, they're still at the temple." Lake took the jade pendant, and the sound of the heavens online prompt sounded in his head, the jade pendant was protected, the wearer's spiritual power was added to five, and there were a few lines of words behind it Lake didn't have time to look at it.
"Time is not enough, you go quickly, go from the east gate of the city."
"I'd better go back to the temple first," Lake said, getting up and running towards the temple, on the way he saw an old shoe seller, looking up at the sky, and the sky was already raining lightly.
The rain hit the old man, and the old man's face began to dissipate, turning into a ghost who looked like half carrion and half normal person, and his skin was faded by the water, revealing the rotten bones and rotten flesh inside, and the appearance was terrifying and abnormal.
The old man saw Lake approaching and walked over to stop him, "I want to eat your flesh and ask for your skin." ”
Worried about them, Lake took out a golden rod from his ear and struck the old man to death.
Then summon the cloak, cast a flying function, and quickly fly towards the temple close to the ground.
He saw more and more painted ghosts appear behind him, walking towards the temple, and behind him, there was a black oppressive ghost.
Coming to the main hall of the temple, Lake found that the fat man was holding a double hammer, panting and sitting in the main hall, the Xiaoice girl was standing with a pale face, and the fierce man and the thin monkey were spitting blood in one mouth.
"Lake, you're back, great, the old monk died, we buried him under the locust tree outside the temple, and when we were buried, a little girl who kicked her pockets came, she turned into a ghost, attacked us, the macho man and the thin monkey were seriously injured, we killed the ghost."
Lake used his recovery technique to trap one for both Macho Man and Skinny Monkey, stopped vomiting blood, and the wound began to heal.
Outside the temple gate, the ghosts of the whole city have gathered, and the sky began to rain heavily, and the "Wow~~~Wow" hit the body of the painted skin ghost, and the painted skin on the painted skin ghost was washed down by the rain, revealing a terrifying figure.
In this group of ghosts, Lake saw Lin Hua'er, she had a red umbrella in her hand, standing behind the painted skin ghost in the lead, and her face was still maintained because of the umbrella.
Outside the temple, there was a golden light, but the light was slowly fading.
Lake's voice also sounded in their heads, "The temple security zone guard disappears in thirty minutes, please get ready to fight." ”
"Your sister," the fat man complained after hearing this prompt, just a little girl ghost, let the four of them be seriously injured before killing, now the temple is full of ghosts, at least eight hundred, doesn't this kill them.
This is a group of ghosts outside the temple, out of a female ghost wearing short sleeves, leaking out of the skin of the belly, her navel, a caterpillar is crawling from the inside.
"Is the fat brother in there? Fat brother, you haven't come to see the slave family for a few days, but you want the slave family to die!
Grandma said, after I will burn you again, I will dial the skin, and I will dial it for you myself!
And give me the meat on your arm, fat brother, the slave family misses you so much, I want to eat you. The female ghost said loudly, which made everyone in the temple very nervous when they heard it, especially the fat man, who trembled all over.
Lin Hua'er, who was holding an umbrella, also spoke.
"Lei Gongzi, we are all ghosts, but grandma admires your painting skills very much, we are married, I promise you not to die, and in the future, we will paint the skin of the ghosts in the city together."
When Lake heard this, he replied loudly, "Can that keep my friend from dying?" ”
"I'm sorry, I can't, grandma also needs human skin."
At this time, the five of Lake once again sounded in their heads, "Do you agree to stay in the ancient city and marry Lin Hua'er, after you get married, you will be in this copy world forever." ”
Lake looked at the word permanent and directly refused.
"Boss, how good it is to stay, you can still live, this is a skin ghost, I'm tired of seeing it, and then draw a new skin, first draw Asian, then European and American, my wife is not the same every month." The fat man quipped.
"If we come together, we will go back together, it's a big deal to die in battle, I have no intention of leaving women and friends to live alone." Lake said.
Lake's words made the fat man very moved at this time, and the Xiaoice girl on the side also had some good feelings for Lake.
"If you survive, the next copy won't be in the mouth of Xiao Liuzi." Xiaoice thought to herself.
There were still thirty minutes left, and Lake looked at the people in the hall and thought, Heavens Online will not make a mortal copy, and all copies have a way to clear the customs.
When the war starts, he may be able to survive with his combat ability, but what about his friends, surrounded by eight hundred ghosts, Lake has no ability to protect the four rookies around him.
It's not easy to bring four dishes with one king, and if you don't do it, the group will be wiped out.
"What did the old monk say before he died?" Lake asked the four.
"It's a pity that I didn't finish knocking the Buddha statue and died." Xiaoice replied.
Stone Buddha statue, Lake looked at the Buddha statue in the middle of the main hall, only his facial features were not knocked well.
Buddha statue, yes, Buddha statue. After seeing the Buddha statue, Lake's eyes lit up, it turns out that you are the key to clearing the customs.
"You stay here, I will fulfill the old monk's unfulfilled wish!"
"I'll help you, boss," said the fat man.
"You're asleep in art class, I don't need you, I'll just do it myself."
After Lake finished speaking, he took out the curse knife and began to carve the facial features of the Buddha statue, just this one Buddha, the real Buddha!
Lake knew that there was only one chance, and carved with great care and care.
Time passed minute by minute, and twenty minutes later, after Lake finished carving the facial features of the Buddha statue, a voice sounded in his head that only he could hear. Can cast the curse once.
Succeed with flying colors. Hearing this, Lake was finally relieved.
"Let's all bow down together, be careful, don't touch the Buddha statue." Lake said as he took three steps back. Several others followed Lake to worship the Buddha.
All five of them bowed to the statue and prayed, but the statue did not respond. There are five minutes left in the clock.
I don't know what the cast range of the other will be called.
Let's wait for the ghost to rush in before using the curse, Lake thought.
Lake looked at the time and knew it was time to tease Xiaoice.
"Xiaoice girl, it seems that the Buddha will not take care of us, and in five minutes, the painted skin ghosts all over the city will come to us to fight."
It looks like we're going to die on the same day, the same month, and the same year.
I didn't get married before I died, so let's get married here. ”
"I, I have a demigod artifact, it's a stand-in doll, and if you are killed, you will leave the dungeon, sorry, do you have any other wishes? I'll try to help you make it happen. ”
When Lake heard this, he thought, "I died with you, but you wanted to run, and I didn't even say I had a life!" ”
But in less than five minutes, the cave room is not in a hurry, and besides, the fat man is still watching.
"I have a younger sister, and if I die in battle, you will take care of her for me like your own sister. I haven't kissed in my life, can you kiss me? ”
After hesitating for a moment, the Xiaoice girl said "Okay," and then stepped forward and raised her head shyly.
Lake kissed it, and after a few seconds, the Xiaoice girl struggled, but Lake, as an old driver, did not let go. At the same time, he hugged the Xiaoice girl with both hands.
Time passed minute by minute.
This amazed the three macho men in the corner.
"It's worthy of being the boss, this is chasing Banhua, and there is a female ghost outside the temple gate, who was also chased by the boss." Macho sighed.
At this time, there was a click outside, the protection disappeared, and the city full of painted skin ghosts began to rush towards the temple.
Ryker, who was kissing the French wet kiss, heard the sound of the protection disappearing and stopped kissing the Xiaoice girl.
Xiaoice Nu hurriedly retreated, her little face flushed, and her head was lowered.
"Ruolai, I'm sorry, I can only wake you up if you don't open your eyes," Lake thought to himself, and then raised the golden hoop in his hand and smashed it into Rulai's left hand.
"Curse activated," Reker's voice sounded in his head.
Western Bliss, Rulai was preaching Buddha on the lotus throne, the Buddha lamp holder next to him suddenly broke, and the lamp oil hit Rulai's arm, and Rulai's arm was hot, and this injury could not hurt him at all.
"Suspicious?" But for the Buddha lamp base, Rulai still has some doubts, pinch his fingers.
"It turned out that it was a monkey in trouble." Then if you come to cast a spell, if you have thousands of clones, let yourself go to the painted skin city with one doppelganger.
The Paintskins had just stormed the temple.
The stone body in the center lit up, and the golden light was dazzling.
The stone body turned into a clone of the Buddha, and he opened his eyes.
"Nan Wu Amitabha," as soon as the six characters came out, the golden light spread with the sound of the words, covering the entire Tianfeng Ghost City, and all the painted skin ghosts were fixed and couldn't move.
Lake and the others were bathed in the golden light of the six characters, and the injuries of the macho man and the thin monkey healed immediately, and everyone felt warm.
The sound of the heavens online prompt sounded in his head, "Listen to the sound of the Buddha, all attributes plus five." ”
Then Nyorai began to recite the mantra of death.
"Ahh
"Don't."
All the Paintskins were purified by the spell and began to burn,
Lin Hua'er, who also knew that she was leaving at this time, sang to Lake in a beautiful voice
I was born before I was born, and I am old when you were born.
When you fell in love with the world, I had already crossed the cape.
Each has its own fragrant grass to inhabit, and it has never been full of flowers.
The meeting seems to be acquaintance, but the love in the previous life is not over.
I don't hate you for being late, I only hate me for being old.
Looking at the clouds in the fog, you can't know when the night passes.
Tea and rice are always lovesick, and the shadow of the heart gradually disappears.
Only when we meet, the flowers bloom to the sunny.
Hate can't live together, don't hate flowers blooming early.
The gentleman's heart is in my heart, can I be with the king.
When the sky was fine, the last half of the sentence was not sung, and Lin Hua'er had been purified by the Dharma and disappeared in front of Lake's eyes.
The ghosts disappeared from the whole city, and the Dharma Body also disappeared, turning into a stone Buddha statue again.
The heavy rain in the entire Tianfeng City stopped, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the sunlight shone to the bottom, and Lake and the others walked out of the temple to take a look.
The whole city, except for this temple, the originally bustling streets, pavilions have become mounds of graves at this time.
There was no one in the city but them.
Ding, the task of painting the skin ancient city is completed, and a prompt sound appears on the Heavens Online.
"Ha, it turns out that this copy is just against a small painted skin ghost about the bronze level, and the rest are all cutscenes!
With my fat brother here, this copy is safe" said the fat man excitedly raised his double hammers and collided with each other.
When Ryker heard Chubby's words, he thought to himself, if he hadn't summoned Rulai with the cursed dagger, you wouldn't be safe, but your Nini would have been skinned and eaten meat, and the remaining bones would have been made into soup.
But Lake wasn't ready to tell the secret.
--
The five of them were teleported away, and when Lake opened his eyes again, he was back in the main screen of his Heavens Online.
"Congratulations to Player No. 2 Venerable for completing the World Quest for the Painted Skin Ancient City Dungeon. Statistical task contribution value.
Player 2 Venerable, get a Golden Chest*1
The remaining four players will each receive a Bronze Chest*1
Listening to the sound of the Buddha, the body and spirit are sublimated, and all players have five points each for their strength, agility, stamina, and wisdom attributes.
Player No. 2 Venerable, get the "Talisman Jade Pendant"
Talisman Jade Pendant: The wearer's wisdom attribute is +5, which can recharge itself, and has a certain chance to resist a spiritual or magical attack. The special painting skin is a product of the ancient city quest world, which entrusts the feelings of the female ghost Lin Hua'er.
The female ghost forest painting has been overtaken by the Buddha's light and went to the underworld.
Wearing this talisman jade pendant, there will be a certain chance that in the plot copy involving the underworld, you will reunite with the female ghost Lin Hua'er.
Player No. 2 Venerable, in this mission, triggered a shot by Rulai, has been concerned by Rulai, and when it comes to the world of Rulai, there will be a certain chance to trigger a special hidden plot.
Reminder: Because Player No. 2 is the owner of the hidden artifact Golden Hoop Stick, the rewards obtained are hidden and invisible to teammates. ”
Lake is in the main interface of Heavens Online, after seeing these prompts, he feels pretty good, all attributes plus 5, plus the wisdom attribute of the jade pendant plus 5, Lake is one step closer to the minimum attribute requirements that can unseal the golden hoop stick.
As for whether you can go to the dungeon world involving the underworld in the future, it's up to fate.
But with the power of this powerful Oriental Buddha, Lake thought that he could hide or hide.
This time, when the clone opened his eyes, he fixed many ghosts with a single sentence, and a single death spell wiped them all out, more powerful than everyone Lake met now.
Involving the special hidden plot triggered by Rulai, Lake thought that it was still too dangerous for him to participate in it with his current strength.
Lake looked at the golden treasure chest in his hand, it seems that some of the team copies of Heavens Online are distributed according to the contribution of the copy, and if you completely paddle the water, the final reward will be reduced a lot. Before, Lake and the little queen teamed up to complete the mission together, but they didn't notice this.
However, after bringing four dishes with him this time, the four dishes paddled the whole way, and only a few hits were made in the end, and the bronze treasure chest was obtained.
He painted many ghosts, delayed the time for the ghosts to break out, and summoned the clone of Rulai, who contributed the most, obtained the golden treasure chest, and the rewards of the heavens online were quite reasonable.
"Open the Golden Treasure Chest" Lake directly chose to open this reward, and after the lid of the gold treasure chest in his hand was lifted, a gray human skin appeared in Lake's hand, which made Lake startled.
"Congratulations to Venerable Player 2: Obtain Skin*1 and consume Mystic items at one time. With this skin, you will have a completely different identity drawn in the skin, and will be able to use some of the skills and abilities of this identity.
How to use: Attach a photo or drawing of the creature you want to transform into on the skin, then put the skin on it. ”
Lake looks at this one-time transformation skin, put it away first, anyway, he has all kinds of copies he has experienced, maybe which copy can use this skin to save his life.
Lake chose to quit Heavens Online, after all, after completing the quest of the dungeon world with his roommates and Xiaoice Girl, it was not good for him to stay in the main interface of Heavens Online for too long.
After Lake and his roommates came out, they were asked to go back and have a good rest by Aunt Dao, who was waiting in the egg-shaped training classroom, and this morning's class was canceled.
Dao Gu didn't ask the student's reward, anyway, the reward for this black iron-level team ordinary copy will not be high. The brutal Dao aunt arranged these copies for the students, mainly to make her students familiar with the next heavens online.
Lake and Macho, Chubby, and Skinny Monkey return to their dormitory.
"Boss Lei, you have healing skills! The circle on our body before the injury is treated, and the healing skills are rare! The macho man said aloud.
"Yes, Boss Lei, thanks to your timely healing, how did you get that healing skill?" The skinny monkey also asked Lake out loud.
Lake smiled, thinking that his Secret Speech skill was still at the Black Iron level, which was too low, and it was somewhat inapplicable to the high-level dungeons he was going through now.
The good thing about the Secret Word is that it can also be upgraded.
After you unseal the Golden Hoop Stick, you have to upgrade more wisdom attributes, and then upgrade your Dark Word skills.
"Keep this healing skill secret from me.
Use comes at the cost of consuming life.
At that time, the situation was critical, and it took me ten years of yang life to release a circle.
In order to save you, I spent twenty years of my life. In the future, if you know of a life-increasing copy or potion for life, please let me know. Lake listened to the three roommates with a formal expression.
The macho man, the skinny monkey, and the little fat man looked at Lake blankly.
If others said so, they would still be grateful to Dade, but if they were Boss Lei in their bedroom, the three of them knew Boss Lei's personality too well.
I will definitely not learn this skill of sacrificing my own ten-year yang life to save people, and even if I really learn it, I will not use it for a few of them who couldn't die at that time.
Neither Macho nor the others believed Lake's words, but they didn't ask about Lake's healing skills again.
At the end of a dungeon, the roommates were very happy.
Macho man, thin monkey and little fat man, they got the bronze treasure chest, and they also had a small harvest after opening the treasure chest happily in the main interface of Heavens Online.
The three roommates are still three newcomers to Heavens Online, and they got the bronze treasure chest in the first dungeon, which is also a huge gain for them.
In the afternoon of the same day, Xiaoice Nu looked for a copy of Wu Zetian on Zhutian Online.
Through inquiry, she really found a copy scroll with Wu Zetian's name, the copy celebrity Emperor Wu Zetian, the dungeon level requirement is none, the number of people entering is 1 to 2, and at least one woman is required. will incarnate as the emperor of the five heavens.
Then Xiaoice Nu looked at the price of the copy scroll, this price is five thousand heavenly coins, and the seller later explained that he was a man, and he could only endure the pain and cut his love.
Five thousand heavenly coins is an astronomical amount for the current Xiaoice girl, but she has a strong father.
And this price is five thousand, and with a discount, maybe two or three thousand heavenly coins can be bought.
Thinking of this, Xiaoice called her father.
Dad, transfer me 5,000 Heavenly Coins, I want to buy a copy scroll.
What kind of scroll does it cost 5,000 Heavenly Coins?
Emperor Wu Zetian.
Nonsense, it's not that Dad won't buy it for you, if you go in and bring a copy with the word "Emperor", it will be a dead end, and it will be a copy that may fall at the king level.
Tell me the name of the copy before entering the copy next time, I'll help you evaluate it before you go in, you enter the Human Emperor Wu Zetian copy, your stand-in doll will be used in less than three days, a waste of a demigod in vain.
