Chapter Forty-Six: The Paper Puppet Looks at the Youth

All things in the world pay attention to the balance of yin and yang, under the big concept, women are generally yin, as soft as water, and men are yang, like fire, the two are mutually restrictive, only to constitute the universe.

I grew up in Shen Ji since I was a child, and I did yin things and made souls, and I never had a strong yang reaction in my body, but I relied on a pair of yin eyes to contact them. And although Jiang Xun's body temperature is lower than that of ordinary people, he always gives people a cold feeling, but on Zhang Qingshan, how he urged the yang energy in his body to disperse those ghosts, I still remember it vividly.

The leader calculated us, using the little mute and Ziwei Tang as bait, not only forcing us into the trap she set, but also knowing how to confuse people's hearts, and even guessing where we were located.

Since she can use magic and spend so many years arranging and waiting, she should not be wrong about some basic things. But if what she said was true, Jiang Xun and I would be standing on each other's backs.

What does it mean to be the same kind of people as them?

Jiang Xun didn't react to what she said, and among the few people we were trapped, no matter what happened, he was still the calmest one, as if he had already had a way to escape, or rather, he had that confidence.

The cockroaches under his feet multiplied very quickly in the bloodstains, and Mu Jinshu was still trying to break the trap of this formation, and after several attempts to no avail, he said to the leader: "If you break the barrier now and introduce the cockroaches into their land, aren't you afraid that one day in the future, there will be a person among them who has the same idea, and you will do the same thing again?" If that's the case, when will the grievances between our two places be resolved? ”

"I was able to get this far because I had the help of a benefactor who taught me how to crack it when we were in the most desperate time, but there are not so many coincidences in this world. It can be over, but it will not end with the destruction of our people. ”

"Brocade." The chief called her again, and said, "You are a child born and raised here, you know everyone here, and you must not want them to die in this rotting land like this, right?" ”

Mu Jinshu quieted down, was poked in the sore spot, said nothing, and fell silent.

The crickets in the blood are overlapping layer by layer, devouring each other's compatriots, and the insects lying on the cloth are decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the surviving larvae are also maturing and growing in a short period of time.

The three of us were on a high place, and it would take some time for them to climb up, but Jiang Xun and Mu Jinshu were completely exposed in front of them, and they rushed up together.

Mu Jinshu immediately protected the little mute, and took a few steps back, Jiang Xun had already taken precautions, and wanted to use the tart magic whip in front of them to force the cockroach back in the same way as in the dense forest, but the formation was flickering, and the breath in his body could not be used at all at this time, the human spirit was in a trance, his knees were weak, and the tart demon whip in his hand also fell to the ground with his strength.

"Jiang Xun!"

He knelt on one knee, his face pale, his brow furrowed, even his lips were bloodied and chapped, his right arm on the ground was shaking, and many cockroaches climbed up and burrowed into his sleeve in the corrosion of flesh all the way.

I looked at his arm that became bloody in an instant, my heart was anxious, I looked down at the dense crickets around the high platform, and said to Ziwei: "You just stay here and protect Tang Jiao, I will find a way to help them." ”

"Master, don't ......"

Ziwei didn't finish a word, the outstretched hand only grabbed a little corner of the clothes, I found a relatively sparse position of the insect body, jumped down from the high platform, untied the cloak on my body and threw out the approaching cockroaches, my hands were sealed, and before the attack could be launched, suddenly a strong yin qi was heavily pressed on the body first. I staggered, feeling the gas turn into tangible objects, squeezing my lungs around my body, and my mouth was stained with blood.

I forcibly suppressed the invasion of those cockroaches, walked to the blood stain in the center, stretched out my hand, and touched the air over there, and instantly felt a scorching heat from the inside out of the bone marrow, which was completely opposite to the cold wave on our side.

I looked at Jiang Xun and finally understood the significance of this array to us.

Yin and Yang coexist, mutual growth and restraint, the existence of this blood line turns the five of us into a gossip array, as long as we mobilize the true qi in it and attack with spells, there will be a qi from the opposite of the other party to suppress it, so that it can be completely canceled out and act on ourselves. The more destructive the attack, the more damage you will suffer.

And by extension, in the same way, I can probably understand how this formation completes the so-called replacement in the leader's mouth.

She had the two opposing qi paradoxically in the same space, and the array was distorted from the beginning, and as long as the roulette wheel of the array turned and each returned to its place, the aura in these two places could return to the correct position.

Theoretically, it is easy to say, and it is not difficult to turn the yin and yang on a small altar, but I don't know what kind of method she needs to use to change the life and death of the two places inside and outside the enchantment from this small yin and yang.

That's not just a matter of a few people, or even hundreds.

The tragedy of Dongyan Town must not be repeated here.

I no longer avoided the cockroaches, completely ignored their harassment, and watched my skin corroded by the mucus, rotting a layer of flesh, and ignoring the pain, I reached out and grabbed the blood-soaked strip of cloth on the ground.

My fingers touched the corpse fluid left behind by the dead cockroach, and before I could reach into it, a piece of flesh was swallowed from my fingertips, and I gritted my teeth and wanted to solve it quickly, but a pair of hands penetrated into the thick venom one step before me.

I raised my head and saw Jiang Xun's eyes red, staring at me deadly, and said hoarsely: "Go!" ”

Frightened by his appearance, I got up and took a step back, seeing that he seemed to be struggling to grasp the separating blood cloth, but it was difficult to break it.

The jade on Jiang Xun's wrist had another vision, and those blood-like fluttering flocculents seemed to be absorbing something, but the quantity was not increasing or decreasing, and it was continuously injecting something into his body.

Ziwei and Mu Jinshu couldn't resist this number of cockroaches, and a lot of wounds gradually appeared on their bodies.

I saw that the blood stain seemed to tremble, but in the next second, from the blood cloth wrapped in slime, it suddenly looked like a faucet that had opened the valve, and more blood water was born, spreading rapidly, overflowing the ground of the entire formation.

Jiang Xun let go of his hand, and his hands were full of blood from his wrists downwards, and he couldn't see what the injury was.

The cockroaches that had been attacking stopped without warning, and all of them stopped in place, but the countless legs under their abdomen were still moving, and their bodies were still twisting and wriggling, but their steps seemed to be restrained by something, not what they wanted.

Ziwei also took advantage of this time to come down from the high platform with Tang Jiao and stand beside me to meet.

"Shopkeeper Shen, what the hell is this...... What should we do? ”

I didn't respond, I stood in a pool of blood, watching the dark red blood drip down from Jiang Xun's hands, which were no longer in any shape, and fell into the black liquid on the ground, but it was not assimilated, and I could still make out the faint color.

Our attention was all on the changes in the formation, and we didn't notice that the little mute, who had been protected by Mu Jinshu, didn't know when he walked to the front of the high platform, and there was a weird paper figure in his hand.

"Catch her, don't let her put that thing down!"

I instinctively knew that something was wrong, and I caught a glimpse of the leader waiting outside, and saw a smile on her lifeless face, blurting out Mu Jinshu, who was still stunned, but it was too late, and when she reacted, the paper figure in the little mute's hand had been placed in front of the high platform.

The paper figure in her hand was not the same as the one I had used before, but a paper puppet with flesh and bones, painted skin, and a pair of open eyes that were only a touch away.

The moment the paper puppet took off his hand, the soles of his feet were contaminated with blood, and he immediately began to devour them greedily, and his entire body was full of blood from his feet to his head. The empty eyes were flooded with blood, and a single stroke was completed, filling in the missing pupils, making the paper puppet suddenly look like a living person.

The light of the formation flickered, and I couldn't think of a way, so I stood in place at a loss, feeling tingling and numbness like an electric shock on my ten fingers, and something in my body kept pulling out.

"Shopkeeper Shen, look at it!"

A few of us looked in the direction of his finger together, and we saw that outside the array, the leader closed his eyes and stood in front of the formation with a strange gesture, chanting words in his mouth.

In just a few seconds, the wrinkles and patches on her old face were slowly fading away and becoming smooth, and the thick knuckles were softening and becoming more slender, and her whole body was the same, no longer rickety, no longer staggering, but gradually returning to the appearance of a young girl from an old man.

The clothes draped on her body became extraordinarily wide in a blink of an eye, and when she opened her eyes again, she still had a solemn expression, but she had already judged that the two of them could not see the slightest shadow from before.

Mu Jinshu looked at her and whispered something in their language, like her name before she became the leader.

The leader looked back, and without the slightest hesitation, stepped forward, took out a small wooden box from his pocket, knelt down in the direction of the rock wall, recited a string of prayer-like words, turned around, and opened the box.

I didn't even have time to see what was inside, and there was a tremor under my feet, worse than when the monster had appeared before, and even the cliff wall behind me trembled. The light of the array became more and more intense, and the centipedes that surrounded them left the altar neatly at this time, and disappeared from our sight out of thin air.

I felt something slip across my face, and when I lifted my hand, it was like blood on the ground.

Behind me, Tang Jiao's body shook, and the little mute had already collapsed in this pool of blood.

"Shen Qing."

Jiang Xun's voice sounded weak, "The door to the enchantment has been opened, don't bother with anything, use your methods to help us find the exit." ”

"Here?" I was incredulous.

"Here." Jiang Xun took a deep breath and looked at me with a confirmed look, "This array itself is just another blocked space, now Muzhang County is no longer on the back side of our world, as long as you find the direction, leave the rest to me." ”

As soon as the words fell, Mu Jinshu beside him raised his dagger violently and stabbed at Jiang Xun, I was stunned and shouted to be careful, but someone strangled my neck from behind, and when I was about to suffocate, I saw Tang Jiao's face clearly.
