"What else can you do, of course it's conscription!"

The white-bearded old man sitting in the corner gulped a bowl of spirits and slapped the porcelain bowl on the wooden table and couldn't help but sigh a few times.

"Maybe there will be war in our Chen Kingdom again."

"Huh?"

The young man on the side hurriedly shrunk his neck, and his expression couldn't help but be a little frightened.

"Another war? Fight with whom? Didn't you just make peace with Zhao Guo next door some time ago? ”

"Maybe it's contradictory with Xu Guoqi in the north again."

The white-bearded old man patted the young man's shoulder and comforted.

"But don't worry, your Uncle Qian and I have a relationship, and I guarantee that you will be in a safe position, and you don't have to go to the battlefield."

"Then I'll thank Uncle Qian first!"

When the young man heard this, he hurriedly saluted the white-bearded old man with a bowl of wine.

At this time, the skinny old man who was drinking alone on the side suddenly said something coldly after hearing what they said.

"Who's conscripting troops to the palace to gather!"

"So what's the matter?"

Seeing that his friend had a different opinion from himself, the white-bearded old man put down the porcelain bowl angrily.

"It can't be said that the emperor likes men today, so he summons male pets into the palace, right? Then our country should be defeated in a hurry and be annexed by others. ”

"Actually, that's not the case."

The thin old man suddenly grabbed the shoulders of the two of them, and waited for the three of them to bury their heads in the bottom before whispering.

"I've heard that the group of people are being dragged to do hard work, and it seems that the emperor wants to build an altar in the palace!"

"Altar?"

Hearing the thin old man say this, the white-bearded old man couldn't help but stroke his beard and said with a puzzled expression.

"No, I don't remember our current emperor believing in anything, at most he just went to the temple to pay homage."

"What does he believe, do he have to tell you?"

The thin old man said mysteriously with a mysterious face.

"And I've heard that the altar was to be sacrificed with living people, and that the blood stained the surrounding soil...... Hmmm! ”

Before the thin old man could finish speaking, the white-bearded old man covered his mouth, looked around in disbelief, and saw that no one noticed them before he let down his hand with a sigh of relief.

"Are you crazy? Dare to talk like this about the saints of today? Beware of his ears and cut off your head! ”

"Even if he wants to punish my nine clans, I have to say it!"

The thin old man was obviously a little excited, which attracted the surprised eyes of many drinkers, and the white-bearded old man saw this and quickly pulled him to smile around, and only after the atmosphere eased did he knock him out of the head.

"Say what you say, what do you shout! It's really that the more people live, the more stupid they become! ”

"I'm just stupid, what's wrong?"

Maybe it was poking at something sad, the thin old man suddenly wiped away his tears, with a hint of crying in his tone.

"My son has not returned to the palace so far, if he doesn't use a living person as a sacrifice, why hasn't he come out?"

"Alas, don't cry, it's just that things are delayed or not finished."

The white-bearded old man comforted the thin old man lightly, and then asked softly.

"Then how did you know about the living being sacrificed?"

"My son, his friend, said that."

The thin old man suddenly stopped stalking, holding his head in his hands and his eyeballs bulging, as if he had seen some frightening picture, and his tone trembled violently.

"It rained lightly that night, and I saw a red figure brave the rain and climb over the fence and break into my yard."

"When I got closer, I saw that he turned out to be my son's friend."

"I wanted to take him into my house to shelter from the rain, but he held my hand and said, 'The emperor takes a living person as a sacrifice, run'!"

"After that, he turned into a red paper man soaked in rain!"

“？？？”

The thin old man's terrifying description really shocked the white-bearded old man, and even the young man who was listening carefully on the side couldn't help but shudder, and asked with a frightened face.

"Paper man? Really? Sun Lao, you can't be mistaken, right? ”

"I've seen this kind of thing with my own eyes, how could I be wrong?"

The thin old man's hands trembled violently, his facial features gradually oozing blood, and the whole person seemed to have become a little crazy.

"In order to win the war, he even thought of turning all his soldiers into paper figures! He's a madman! It's a heinous monster! ”

“……”

After hearing the angry roar of the thin old man, many people gathered around the tavern, and the originally noisy atmosphere suddenly became noisy.

However, Chu Ming didn't care, and left the tavern straight after putting down a few ingots of silver.

Because he sensed with his divine sense, the thin old man had already turned into a paper figure that was manipulated, so he used his spiritual power to cut off the divine consciousness that controlled him.

As for what kind of sensation his restoration would cause in the noisy tavern, these were not things that Chu Ming was worried about.

For him, the focus now is to find out what is really going on in Chen Guo's palace.

"Maybe it's going to be interesting?"

Late at night, looking at the closed palace gate and the splendid palace, Chu Ming smiled slightly and floated in directly, which made the patrolling guards tremble and stare at each other.

"Which of you is blowing the wind behind my neck?"

"No! Maybe it's the night wind. ”

……

Chu Ming didn't need to look for it at all, he just used his divine sense to probe and found the location of the altar.

It's just that as they got closer, the guards patrolling around gradually increased, and there were even Jinyi guards with high cultivation.

"Who are you?"

Looking at the swaggering figure, the brocade guards in armor hurriedly took out their long swords, and the surrounding spiritual power instantly condensed.

But in the next second, they froze in place as if they had been struck by lightning, their bodies could not move, and the spiritual power around them instantly melted and dissipated like a snow of fire.

"I'm sorry, I have something to do, I've borrowed it."

Chu Ming knew that these brocade guards were collecting money to do things, and they didn't have any hatred with them, so he just fixed them and continued to walk towards the altar.

Why?

When they saw Chu Ming swaggering past him, the brocade guards all showed frightened looks.

A group of us who were about to break through the Foundation Building Realm were trapped so easily?

It's really fake!

This looks like a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, is his cultivation so terrifying?

However, in the next second, they lost the ability to doubt, and their originally clear consciousness instantly disappeared into endless darkness.

……

As the altar in front of him got closer and closer, Chu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

He found that the altar in front of him was not a traditional altar, but a huge vessel resembling a stove, with a lot of coal and wood piled up underneath, and a huge iron pot on top.

What is this?

Chu Ming was also a little startled by the strange altar in front of him, and just wanted to step forward to check, but a gust of wind blew, and suddenly remembered the extremely terrifying golden bell around him.

"Jingle Bell ——!"

"-Jingle bell!"

"Who's coming?"

At this time, an old man in a yellow robe suddenly jumped out of the "iron pot" at the top of the altar, followed by a colorful thousand paper cranes surging out of it and frantically fluttering its wings outward, sticking to him by the way, and slowly falling in front of Chu Ming.

"I was able to get close here without knowing my divine sense...... Who are you?! ”

"Before asking for someone's name, should I report my own name first?"

Facing the countless paper cranes that were suspended in mid-air around him, Chu Ming's indifferent expression did not change, and he immediately summoned the keel out slowly and burst into a loud cheer.

"Broken!"

In an instant, the sound wave spread wildly outward with him as the center, which was also mixed with terrifying dragon power and amazing spiritual power fluctuations, instantly shaking a large number of paper cranes away, and many of them returned to the "iron pot" at the top of the altar with their wings, which made the old man in the yellow robe can't help but be full of horror.

？？？

Just a roar scared all my cranes back?

They're all spiritual paper cranes that I painstakingly cut!

Each of them at least has the strength to build a foundation realm, and originally wanted to construct a "paper crane" array to test the depth of the kid in front of him......

Well, now it's really tempted, he has definitely broken through the foundation building realm for a long time, and it may even be comparable to himself, and he has also broken through the Jiedan realm!

Who is he sacred?

The yellow-robed old man didn't have the heart to control the spiritual chaos of the paper cranes and continued to surround him, and then cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his shocked eyes kept staring at Chu Ming, who was indifferent in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation.

He must have used a secret method to transform his appearance into a teenager's appearance, and it was impossible for him to have such a terrifying cultivation at his age!

You know, none of the Holy Maidens of the Blazing Immortal Sect have broken through the Jie Dan Realm, how can he do it?

I haven't heard of such a heavenly pride in the Tianyan Sect......

"You're supposed to be a paper cutter, right?"

Chu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, his right foot stepped forward, and the indifference in his eyes suddenly became much sharper.

"Since you call yourself me, then you should be the current emperor of the Chen Kingdom, Chen Taizu?"

"Say, as the king of a country, why should you cut the dead into your own paper figures and control them? What is your purpose in doing such inhumane things? ”

"To win the war, of course!"

Chen Taizu didn't know why he had to talk so much to Chu Ming, but he suddenly had a hint of luck in his heart after he asked.

Didn't the boy in front of me come to disrupt my plans?

Maybe you can pull him in?

"Zhao and Xu have conspired to make an agreement to join forces to annex my Chen State, how can I be captured?"

"It's just an excuse you made, right?"

Chu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he used his divine sense to sense that there was a mysterious aura around him that was slowly floating, although he was not afraid, it was better to be careful.

"You yourself borrowed the method of the evil way to absorb the spiritual power of others, not only do you have no remorse for this, but you are also not satisfied, and you even vainly try to use the war to improve your own cultivation!"

"What is the law of the evil way?"

As soon as he heard Chu Ming's words, Chen Taizu instantly became furious, and reprimanded sharply.

"I cut the dead into paper figures and help them come back to life, and it's too late for them to thank me, what is the evil way there?"

"As for the things they helped me absorb spiritual power, this is just the reward for resurrecting them, they did it on their own initiative, and I didn't force them."

"Not persecuted yet?"

At first glance, Chen Taizu's words were quite logical, and Chu Ming, who was flickering, was slightly stunned, but when he thought about it, it was full of loopholes.

What does it mean to not be persecuted?

You control a group of paper people to do evil everywhere, killing people to absorb spiritual power, this is called no persecution?

And the most important thing is not to give rewards, not to mention, but also to set them a work index of how much spiritual power they absorb every day, and the evil landlord dares to squeeze labor in front of me?

Chu Ming's eyes were instantly cold, his calves were strong, and he rushed towards Chen Taizu with a dragon bone in his hand, and such a monstrous power frightened him and hurriedly waved his hand to stop.

"Wait!"

"What else do you want to explain?"

Chu Ming gave Chen Taizu a lot of face, and stopped to listen quietly to what he wanted to say.

"Hurry up, my hands are itching right now."

"Why don't we work together?"

It seemed that he felt the terrifying spiritual power fluctuations in Chu Ming's body, and Chen Taizu hurriedly restrained his previous arrogance, and didn't even dare to call himself "I", but used me.

"The paper figures I cut out can share the spiritual power with others, or I will share some of it with you, and you will worship me as a teacher and learn the tailoring technique of Yiyi?"

"Huh!"

Chu Ming was so amused by Chen Taizu's words that he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I worship you as a teacher? Are you sure ......"

Before Chu Ming could finish speaking, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and suddenly felt that the love seed planted by Wu Zuirao in his consciousness suddenly erupted violently, which was filled with a strong vinegar intent, as if he was about to condense the true body of a fox and crush Chen Taizu in front of him in the next second!

"Master! Wait a minute! Don't worry, let my disciple practice my hands! ”

Chu Ming hurriedly called out loudly in his heart, which could be regarded as suppressing the drunken and restless feelings, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Scared the hell out of me!

If it was really Shizun and her shot, wouldn't she have to come to King Chen this time in vain?

"You don't want to?"

Seeing Chu Ming's abnormal state, Chen Taizu's eyes narrowed slightly, his hands were secretly sealed, and his tone became gloomy and indifferent.

"In that case, then you should die!"

After that, the seeping golden bell sounded again, and suddenly after a gust of wind blew, the ground that was originally red with blood slowly "lived", and countless red paper figures stood up, and the color of the soil would also return to its original appearance, which made Chu Ming can't help but exclaim.

"So the reason why the ground turned red was because you arranged for a paper figure to stick on it? It's also strange to be smart. ”

"Die!"

Chen Taizu burst out, and the countless paper figures around him rushed towards Chu Ming, and then he took out a piece of red paper and a pair of scissors out of nowhere, and cut them carefully at Chu Ming's pattern.

Even if this guy in front of him has the cultivation of the Yudan Realm, as long as he drags him with a paper man, and then I am cutting out a "mirror flower paper man" like him, so that no matter how deep your cultivation is, it will definitely not escape from the palm of my hand!

The corners of Chen Taizu's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smug smile.

However, the beauty of the imagination is often pierced by the cruelty and ruthlessness of reality.

"Boom!"

With a violent roar, the brilliant fire suddenly lit up in the middle of the night, and all the paper figures around them lit up with blazing flames! (End of chapter)
