Section 4: Seraph, the Lord of the Rings, and ...... light
A Chinese Ghost Story ......
The origin of A Chinese Ghost Story is Liaozhai Zhiwei, a Qing Dynasty Zhiwei. This means that it actually has a large and complex world view of the monsters as a support, and the story only occupies a tiny part of it.
A Chinese Ghost Story 2: The Way of the World - 1990 movie. It has a prequel and a sequel, and the worldscape it deals with is not complicated. As the ultimate boss, the centipede spirit national master already belongs to the great demon at the pinnacle of the world, and the Buddhist inheritance is basically declining, and the heirs have turned a blind eye to the sect in order to kill the demon - because the fairy god has disappeared, and everything has no owner.
There are no immortals, only knights who slay demons and eliminate demons, and they often can't beat them.
The most powerful in the worldview is the old demon of Montenegro who has taken root in the city of the dead in the underworld. Then there is the big demon centipede spirit, and the chivalrous Yan Chixia.
That's all, if ...... There's really nothing messy to get into.
"I remember there was a very popular drama in 03. It's also called A Chinese Ghost Story. Zhan Lan frowned, the Chinese Ghost Story TV series was indeed a national craze at that time, and its momentum was as great as that of Huanzhu Gege. And the level of combat power it represents is also much, much higher than the movie version. "Are you sure there's no such thing getting in?"
"The overlap of homogeneous worldviews is low, very low." The golden light in Zhang Jie's eyes has not been erased. "You will not encounter the Yin Moon Dynasty, nor will you encounter the Heavenly Demon Chong Qisha. Of course, if you're lucky, you might be able to pick up a sword and learn how to cut the sky and draw a sword. Even the possibility of finding the secret of the mystery of the heart is not impossible. β
This is simply explicit. And he can say more, as long as the questioner can find the right words.
ββ¦β¦ Is it related to the old demon of Montenegro? "Zhu Wen obviously found it." I remember that the setting of the old demon of Montenegro was to occupy the underworld and die in vain. But it seems to be a monster in the first and third parts, and in the second part, there is exactly nothing? β
"The Lord God will not put respawn points in the main quest. It is necessarily optional, at least this time. "βTo put it bluntly, the old demon of Montenegro is the caretaker of the road to resurrection.
And the old demon of Montenegro appeared as an unbeatable background boss in the first part...... And the logic of its action is to marry a wife. Zhan Lan chuckled softly. It seems that defeating the old demon of Montenegro is not enough...... Wive...... Is it a sacrifice to a woman? β
"You've got a lot of imagination." The golden glow in Zhang Jie's eyes dissipated, and he shook his head with a wry smile. "The Lord God would not normally perform such an operation as a human sacrifice. But I think it's better for a woman to open the gates of a dead city. β
Okay, that's the end of the spoiler. The way to start the resurrection process of the non-main god is to have a woman push open the gates of the city of the dead. Of course, until then, the old demon of Montenegro is a monster that must be destroyed. The cost is unknown, but I don't think it's a side story or bonus points. And no matter what the price is, there are people present who are willing to pay.
"It seems that our next goal is to do a good job of the strategy of A Chinese Ghost Story worldview." Zhan Lan nodded. "Since there is basically no content in the TV series. There must not be many inexplicable things in the strange stories. β
Zhang Jie spread his hands, he no longer played the role of an agent.
"I don't know. But I don't think so. I'm sure it's a low-difficulty world, though. There are no demons hidden in the background, more powerful than the old black demon and centipede spirit. And their combat power should not exceed the movie performance by much. β
"Sounds like I can kill that centipede of Pudu Cihang alone." Cheng Xiao tilted his head. "I've watched a lot of discussions and even recreations about this film. A more reliable inference is that Pudu Cihang devoured the dynasty's luck for his own use in order to turn into a dragon. And it is at a critical juncture, so it will be weak at the time of the lunar eclipse. But ......"
"I look like I've turned into a dragon."
The cultivation of reptilian monsters and dragons is considered common sense among gods and monsters. And Cheng Xiao has indeed turned into a dragon after absorbing the Dragon Ball and being blessed and transformed by the World Tree's Creation Qi. It's hard to say the level of bloodline, but at least there is AA or even a higher level of lesser than half a level. And soon, he will take it a step further with the help of reincarnation resources.
"It's a possibility." Zhan Lan nodded calmly. "But in my experience, the Lord God does not prepare for us a world that is exactly the same as the original. There must be a change from the original plot somewhere. Considering that the overlapping factors of chaos are extremely low, it may be very likely that Pudu Cihang, as the boss of the plot, will receive additional enhancements. β
She tilted her head and glanced at Zhang Jie. "Will Pudu Cihang learn the secret of Xuanxin?"
"Please, I've watched that show too. I know that the secret of the heart is a self-detonation spell. The corners of Zhang Jie's mouth twitched. You might as well say that the centipede learned the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty! β
"So it's like a god's palm?" Zhan Lan nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed, Pudu Cihang can incarnate as Nyolai. This means that A Chinese Ghost Story did exist in the worldview, and it has disappeared. And this demon disguised as a high monk has obtained some powerful Western Heaven inheritance, which is naturally logical. β
"I don't think it's ......"
"I think so." Zhan Lan ignored Zhang Jie's facial twitches. "Let's make tactical planning according to this configuration, it's better to be lenient with the enemy. According to the configuration of the ring, the four with the light of the soul can be called a god. Then perhaps, it is also possible for Pudu Cihang, who is in the strongest state, to have a fourth-level combat power. And so on, the heyday of the old demon of Montenegro should also have this level. β
"That's right." "Then it looks like I can't beat it."
Zhang Jie was speechless, and Cheng Xiao and Zhu Wen echoed.
"But I don't think we don't have the means to fight it." Zhan Lan raised her hand, and a golden ring lay quietly in her hand.
The Lord of the Rings, the One Ring. Sauron is dead, and the artifact no longer has any seductive effect.
She looked at the sky.
"Lord God, exchange for Seraphic blood." She said calmly.
ββ[Accepted, reincarnation Zhan Lan, pay 1 S-level side plot, reward points 50,000 points. Exchange for Seraphic blood. γ
The pillar of light of the Lord God fell, like a raging waterfall.
And Zhan Lan's voice also came from the light waterfall.
"The Seraphic bloodline, the ultimate advancement of all A-level and above angelic bloodlines and their subspecies. It will give me a large enough amount of Holy Energy, a variety of parameter boosts, a large number of spell-like abilities, and a list of spells to choose from. There are three fixed nine-ring spells, instantaneous spirits, group healing, and miracles...... It makes me equivalent to a level 20 priest in the DND system. And the Lord God provided me with an optional Nine Rings Divine Technique. β
The sixfold light wings exploded from behind Zhan Lan. With her as the center, the violently spreading sanctification force field directly purified the ground hundreds of meters into a blessed earth. She reached out and placed the golden ring carefully on her hand. And the next moment, her aura swelled dramatically, and two pure glows overflowed from her eyes!
"Attributeless Psychic Light?" Zhang Jie exclaimed. "Can you do that?"
He was not so much an exclamation as he took the opportunity to explain.
"It can be done." From the glow, Zhan Lan's form landed silently. "We've seen the role of the Lord of the Rings in Rivendell. It is Sauron's means of sublimating into Vera, representing most of the power of a powerful Vera. Now Sauron's influence is gone. As the property of the Middle-earth team, as long as it has the power of the fourth order...... At least it's a fourth-order body, so wearing it can be equivalent to Vera. β
She looked at the ring, but took it off without hesitation. She didn't say what Nine-Ring Divine Technique she had chosen, but she must have used it.
Zhu Wen knew what she was using.
DND system, nine-ring perfect resurrection. The effect is that as long as the soul of a free person who has been dead for less than 300 years can be resurrected immediately without damage even if the ashes are annihilated.
Apparently, she had already made a fruitless attempt in the pillar of light. And this kind of thing, no one will say much.
Zhan Lan's eyes then turned to the others.
"Let's exchange for S-class blood. This ring can only be used by those who have a divine body. Wear it and you'll be the equivalent of Vera. Although it doesn't last long when you use it once. But at the very least, it allows us to deal with different kinds of hostilities without making mistakes. β
Her suggestion was quickly recognized. Two pillars of enhanced light fell from the sky.
Zhan Lan stared at them and didn't say anything more. Now that you have decided to go all out, you can't keep it in the coming world.
- Unfortunately, I can't use Kungunir, and I can't wear the Ring.
The Spear of Heaven landed at her feet, and before leaving the Lord of the Rings, she recovered Jiang Yu's results. But the gun didn't admit her, and she couldn't get around the verdict with a lie like Adam did.
She turned her head and looked at Zhang Jie.
"Do you think we'll make it?" What she wanted was not encouragement, but a definite reply.
And Zhang Jie did not answer her doubts directly.
He just said.
"Do you think the Lord God is a rigid but impartial operating body?"
Rigid, but fair.
If there is a mistake, it will be punished, and it will be meritorious...... You must also be rewarded!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦

In the abyss of death. A faint ray of light is floating.
