Chapter 621: Complex Enemy Situation, Three Stronghands Gather!
Speaking of paper figures, generally speaking, they are burned to the dead, hoping that the dead will not have to be lonely in the underworld, and there will be paper people to take care of them. Common among the people, there are those who burn servants, those who burn beautiful women, and those who burn bodyguards, in short, there are all kinds of things, and they are dazzling.
It's a bit strange to see paper figures in this painting today, and these paper figures are very skilled. can fight on an equal footing with the "immortal army" of the painting city, and its strength can be seen.
When I entered the city a few years ago, I didn't find any paper figures, so I can conclude that these paper figures were artificially placed. As for the role, of course, it is to compete with the army in the territory of the painting.
Who exactly placed them, I can't say. But since I encountered it today, I have to find out. Thinking of this, my figure flashed, and I approached a paper figure who was fighting with the guards of the "Immortal Army".
I slapped it directly, and the paper figure was immediately hit in the back of the head by me, and it fell to the ground with a "plop". As soon as the fighting guards saw that someone was helping, they immediately looked at me. But at this glance, her face suddenly changed greatly.
"You...... Are you human?"
I smiled at her and said, "Exactly, but I'm not here to be your enemy. I'm a friend of the Protector General, I wonder where the General is now?"
Hearing this, the female soldier's eyes blinked, and then she asked timidly, "You can't be an assassin sent by the enemy, right?"
I laughed and said, "Of course not, I bothered to inform the general, and said that the son-in-law she let go of back then had returned, and as for whether she saw it or not, I think she made up her own mind." What do you say?"
Hearing this, the female soldier glanced at me a few times, then nodded and said, "Okay, then you can wait here for a while, and I'll report it!"
After watching her burrow into the alley on the side, I turned my eyes to the paper figure lying on the ground. This paper figure doesn't look much different from a normal person, and its height and appearance are almost all made according to a living person.
But what puzzles me is, how can an ordinary paper figure come back to life? And the skill is not small. I bent down and tore open the paper man's body, and then examined it closely, and finally I found a black ball of light the size of a fingernail inside the paper man's body.
I was just about to reach out to touch the black ball of light, but unexpectedly, the black lotus who entered the place with me suddenly said, "Yulong, don't move yet." Give it to me!"
I listened to this, and although I was a little puzzled, I nodded anyway and stepped aside. I saw Hei Lian stretch out his jade hand, and then grabbed it in the void. With this grab, she actually took the black ball of light out of the paper man's body completely.
As the black ball of light left the paper figure, the latter burst into flames with a "sudden". In an instant, it was reduced to ashes, and when the breeze blew, nothing was left.
Black Lotus carefully held the black ball of light in the palm of her hand, and then said in a low voice, "Earth Seal!"
As soon as the words ended, I saw the black gas wrapping the black ball of light tightly. It was at this moment that I discovered that this black ball of light was special. I saw something resembling a ghost inside the ball of light, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an earth soul inside.
As mentioned earlier, people have three souls and seven spirits. The three souls are divided into heaven, earth and man, and the role of each soul is different. What was inside this black ball of light turned out to be an earth soul, which means that this paper man was only manipulated by this earth soul. Being manipulated by a mere earth soul has this skill, and this spellcaster has some ability.
Next, I killed two more paper figures. Hei Lian took out the black ball of light in the paper figure in turn, and things became clearer. The things that control these paper people are not only the soul of the earth, but also the soul of heaven and the soul of the human can also be controlled.
In this way, it also shows that the person who manipulates the paper figure is a warlock who has a strong understanding of souls. What trick did he use to extract the three souls of the ghost and inject it into the paper people, so as to control the paper people and fight the immortal army of the painting city.
Among the immortals, there are great supernatural powers, who can scatter beans into soldiers. It's a bit of an honor for me to see the paper sprinkling into a soldier today. Speaking of souls, I naturally think of false Taoist priests.
Fake Taoist priests collect souls for the tomb owners of ancient tombs, and the paper figures here are all controlled by souls. There must be a lot of connection between the two. Perhaps the mastermind behind the manipulation of the paper man soldier painting city is the owner of the tomb.
Just as Black Lotus and I were pondering, we only heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the right side. I turned my head to see a white steed running towards me. On top of the white horse sat a beautiful general in white armor with a heroic posture.
Although this general is as beautiful as a flower, I know that she is not young and famous. She is the general who defends the city in this painting, General Taki! General Taki, who came forward with his horse, grabbed the reins in front of me, and "called ......"
I looked at her and immediately clenched my fists and said, "General Taki, don't come unharmed!"
General Taki looked at me, and then said happily, "Boy, why are you back?"
I said with a solemn expression: "Because I saw Takixin and Fan'er in prison on the mural, I came to rescue them." ”
When General Taki heard this, he nodded approvingly and said, "You can care about Xin'er, and it is not in vain that Xin'er loves you." Come with me, it's not safe here!" she said, turning her horse's head and leading me and Black Lotus towards the side of the Painting City.
On the way, Hei Lian smiled and said, "The wife you are talking about, could it be that Xin'er girl?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly: "No, although Miss Xin'er is good, it's a pity that I had a lover before I met her." The reason why I entered the painting realm was actually to repay my kindness. ”
Hearing this, Hei Lian blinked with a pair of beautiful eyes and didn't say anything more. We followed General Taki and soon came to a courtyard.
There were several female soldiers guarding the gate of this courtyard, and as soon as they saw General Taki returning, they immediately saluted and said, "My subordinates meet the general!"
General Taki nodded, then rolled over and dismounted.
"Yulong, come in with me!" Black Lotus and I followed her into the courtyard and sat down on the chairs inside.
"General Taki, what happened to the painting city?
When General Taki heard this, he sighed lightly and said: "The traitorous ministers are in charge, and the people are not happy." To tell the truth, it was Qing Niangniang's courtiers who launched this coup d'état. When the courtier entered the painting realm, he was just an ordinary ghost, but he didn't expect that after so many years, he actually sucked the essence of the young lady. and practiced the technique of collecting yin and supplementing yang, and everyone in the Tianxin Hall fell into the Tao, which is why this coup d'état happened. You must have seen those paper figures, they are the subordinates of this courtier who made up out of thin air. They first occupied the Tianxin Temple, and then they wanted to occupy the Painting City. If I hadn't led my troops to resist desperately, I'm afraid that the entire realm in the painting would have become his world. ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart. In this painting, the realm is a world where women are superior to men, where there is oppression, there is resistance. Today's incident is completely caused by this young lady, and she can't complain about others. It's just that I let the kind-hearted Takixin and Fan'er be captured, which I must not agree.
"General Taki, I don't know where Taki-core and the others are being held now? Is it the Tianxin Palace?"
Qing Niangniang shook her head and said: "The place where Takixin and Fan'er were locked up is not the Tianxin Palace, but the Tiger Prison City rebuilt by the courtiers! The Tiger Prison City is heavily guarded, and it is located behind the Tianxin Palace, adjacent to the Ten Thousand Demon Caves. The courtier was able to carry out a coup d'état in one fell swoop, in fact, with the help of the Ten Thousand Demon Caves. I heard that the courtier has reached an alliance with the demons in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, and it is even more difficult to go to Tiger Prison City to save people!"
When I heard this, I smiled disdainfully and said, "Tiger Prison City?" Okay, I know. I'll go now, and if I can, I'll get rid of the courtier with me." With that, I stood up and was about to leave.
When General Long heard this, he hurriedly stopped: "Don't do it, I don't know how strong your current cultivation is." But are you confident that you can defeat the gods?"
When I heard this, I was shocked. How can there be a god in a painting? What is going on?
"General Taki, you said that the gods, when did there be a god in the painting?"
General Taki frowned, and said a little sadly: "This matter of the gods, in fact, ...... In fact, it's all to blame on the young lady. Qing Niangniang worships God every year, and she has always been reluctant to live in such a small place as the middle of the painting. And just last year, she actually worshipped the gods. When the god entered the painting, he lived a pampered life. Qing Niangniang dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, it was precisely because of the oppression of the gods that she would be drunk and fall into the way of the courtiers. So now, there are gods in the Tianxin Palace, and there are demons raging in the Tiger Prison City, and you want to avoid the Tianxin Temple and enter the Tiger Prison City to save people, it is too dangerous. ”
When I heard this, I fell into deep thought. What kind of god is this god who can now manipulate the power of water, but the power of earth has not yet been fused. With the power of water alone, I don't know if I can match the gods. But in any case, I'm going to be there for a while.
Perhaps, this god is an impostor.
I had an idea in my heart, so I said to General Taki: "General, it's better to do this, I'll go to the Tianxin Hall first." The first is to explore the truth and the truth, and the second is to see how capable the gods are on that day. If I could, I would have killed him. If not, it's not too late for me to return to the city. What do you say?"
Seeing that I insisted, General Taki finally nodded and said, "Okay, instead of sitting still, it's better to give it a go." Yulong, do you need me to send someone to help you?"
I shook my head and smiled, "No, I'll go by myself this time." Black Lotus, I'm bothering you to help General Taki defend the painting city. If I die on this trip and can't return, you can get out of here and get away with it!"
Hearing this, Heilian blinked her eyes wide, and finally nodded in agreement.
The matter of saving lives cannot be delayed. I immediately said goodbye to everyone and quietly rushed towards the Tianxin Temple. I'm really looking forward to meeting that god right now, and I want to really use the power of water.
This is my first battle since I got out, and I hope I can win my first battle!
