Chapter 909 The Death Puppet
Chen Linger and others happily left Taiqing Mountain and returned to the real world.
Chen Lin was not in a hurry, but went to the county government office to meet Xiong Ziqi.
"Brother Chen, why are you free to come to my place today? Could it be that there is some good news?"
As time passed, Xiong Ziqi became more and more anxious. It can be felt that one's own projection is being corroded. If it were not for the protection of an official body, it would have been unable to bear it long ago and would have been rejected.
Chen Lin shook his head and said, "Not yet. How is Brother Xiong's condition during this period?"
His tone was casual.
In the past ten years, he and the other party have become very familiar with each other. Originally, he was worried that killing the father of the other party's concubine would make the other party feel grudge. Later, he learned that the concubine was the original county magistrate in this scene. Women are still creatures of the nightmare world. The other party just keeps them to pass the time and doesn't care at all.
Xiong Ziqi smiled bitterly and said: "What can we do? It's still the same, without any progress. His grandma's! There must be no missions in this scene. There is no such thing as a ghost in the nightmare world. The scene is normal!”
Chen Lin looked at the other party’s angry look and felt sad.
Watching the time to survive decreasing day by day, it is difficult for anyone to face it calmly.
"Brother Xiong still can't enter Li Fuyao's house?"
Chen Lin continued to ask.
He had always thought that the other party could enter the house at will, but later he realized that was not the case.
Before Li Fuyao hid in, the other party could indeed enter at will and knew the existence of the node. However, after Li Fuyao hid in, he did not know what means he used to block it, and the other party could not enter again. Not going.
He even personally took the other party and tried using a bronze key, but it didn't work either.
Not only can the other party not do it, but even the creatures in the nightmare world can't do it. Only outsiders like him who come in through the node's true body can come and go freely with the key.
Obviously, the precautions Li Fuyao came up with were to guard against the other party. There must be some kind of dispute between the other party and Li Fuyao.
However, the other party kept silent about these matters, and he didn't bother to ask.
This time, with the passage out of the Immortal Palace, this scene has become dispensable to him. Neither Li Fuyao nor the other party has anything to do with him.
Xiong Ziqi didn't know what Chen Lin was thinking, so he shook his head and said: "I can't get in, and I don't know what tricks that woman Li Fuyao did. No matter what I do, I can't break the power of the rules in the yard, but the clues to the mission to leave here should not be there." In that yard, otherwise Li Fuyao would have used it as a bargaining chip."
Chen Lin nodded slightly.
There was indeed nothing unusual in that yard. He had checked almost every place, not to mention digging three feet into the ground.
The only thing suspicious is the painting.
Li Fuyao can summon traveling merchants to buy items in the painting, which means that the space in the painting is also part of the scene.
Even a standalone scene!
Otherwise, no matter how advanced the traveler’s guide is, it would be impossible to directly shuttle into a treasure space.
Chen Lin sometimes even suspected that the clue to the mission to leave this world was in the space of the painting. Since Li Fuyao never responded to him, he probably had completed the mission and returned.
"What are your plans, Brother Xiong? The war in the interface I am in has ended. After leaving this time, I will rarely come here again."
As for the speculation about Li Fuyao's return, Chen Lin didn't mention it, and it would be useless if he did. The other party couldn't enter the dilapidated courtyard, and he would be even more desperate if he knew about it.
Hearing Chen Lin's words, Xiong Ziqi's expression changed slightly.
Chen Lin has always been his glimmer of hope, and no matter what, he doesn't want to see this thread broken.
Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Brother Chen is also a Void Refining monk now. I wonder if he has any confidence in breaking through to the Hedao realm?"
"Haha."
Chen Lin smiled and said: "Brother Xiong, why should I hurt my little brother? It's a blessing that I can be promoted to Lianxu. Now I am still struggling in the early stages of the continuation. It is not certain whether I can reach the Daoyun stage. , let alone the Hedao realm.”
He was speaking modestly.
Although his cultivation is slow, he still has a lot of experience in understanding Taoism, especially after using the Daoist Stone given by Zishu, his current Blade of Destiny has It has reached the level of Xiaocheng, comparable to a fourth-level Daoyun master.
This once again amazed him at the wonder of the Taoist Stone.
If they comprehend normally, the vast majority of Void Refining monks will not be able to comprehend the mysteries of Taoism until they die in various disasters. Even if they are extremely qualified, they will not be able to achieve success in less than a thousand years. territory.
Thinking back to the heroic appearance of the ancestors of the Ye family, they were still stuck in the late stage of refining the void for countless years, unable to get a glimpse of the Tao Yun's grace.
And he did it with a question stone.
A single treasure can save thousands of years of hard work. It is no wonder that the Taoist Stone is the most coveted thing among cultivators.
Xiong Ziqi didn't notice Chen Lin's expression, but touched his chin with a look of struggle on his face.
After a long time, he said: "It is difficult to understand Taoism, and it is even more difficult to understand the state of perfection. Even in our Eight Immortals world, there are countless talents who have failed at this level. That's why he developed a secret method to avoid the restriction of Taoist perfection and find a new way to advance to Hedao."
Chen Lin's eyes flashed and he said nothing, waiting for the other party's next words. He naturally needs such secret skills.
Despite the fact that he understood Taoism to the fourth level of Tao Yun in the early stages of his cultivation, that was the result of the two Taoist stones and had nothing to do with him.
Treasures like the Daoist Stone are something that can only be found but not sought. Lan Ruxuegui was the master of the first palace at the time and could not get it. It was he who informed the other party that it existed in the remains of the Bone Saint Lord. The other party just got it and broke through the Hedao realm in one fell swoop.
No matter how hard he thought about it, it would not be easy.
Also.
When using this Taoist stone, he obviously felt that the effect was weakened. It was a bit unrealistic to rely on this object to advance Taoism to perfection.
Based on his own understanding, the time consumed may be measured in thousands of years, and there will be too many accidents along the way.
But he can't take the initiative to ask for it. Then the other party will take the initiative and definitely ask for a lot.
Sure enough, seeing that he didn't seem too interested, Xiong Ziqi was a little confused about the situation.
Then he took the initiative and said: "This secret technique is a secret that is not taught. If I were not desperate, I would never take it out. As long as Brother Chen helps contact Princess Gegeyun, so that the other party can communicate with her. When I meet you, I will give you this secret skill with both hands.”
This requirement is really not high.
But Chen Lin said helplessly: "Brother Xiong still doesn't believe me. I really didn't lie. Even I can't see the princess. I can't help you if I want to."
Xiong Ziqi immediately expressed disappointment when he heard this.
After he took out all the benefits, Chen Lin still answered like this, so he really wasn't lying.
Both of them fell silent.
Chen Lin thought about it for a long time, but in the end he still didn't say that he knew the guardian.
If it were before, he would have actually borrowed Connie's big mushroom and asked her to use the fourth-level road to lead her to the mushroom hut to meet Xiaohong.
First of all, it gives the other party a hope, and more importantly, it is to test Xiaohong's attitude.
But now his mind has changed.
Since Xiaohong’s attitude was unclear and nothing could be found through testing, he simply remained unchanged in response to changes and just waited for Niu Niu to contact him.
Anyway, he is not in any crisis now, so he might as well improve his cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise the other current strengths, even if Niuniu is really in danger, will not be able to help.
Seeing the other party's gloomy expression, Chen Lin comforted him: "Brother Xiong, don't despair. There are still decades to go. Think of other ways. I'll help you do some research outside, maybe. The princess is back during this time!"
Xiong Ziqi forced a smile and cupped his fists to say thank you.
Not being able to help the other party, Chen Lin couldn't bring up the matter of the secret method anymore. After another exchange, the two said goodbye and left.
Back at Jade Cai Sect, Chen Lin first learned about the external situation, and nothing special happened.
All continents were calm, and no other evil things appeared.
So he prepared for retreat.
Taking this opportunity, he planned to use the clone fruit that Connie gave him.
But he does not intend to refine the clone, but to refine it into a scapegoat!
This suggestion was made by Zi Shu after he communicated with the Cheng family sisters and asked the two girls to bring it to him, and also provided a refining method.
According to the other party, the clone is a thing that has both advantages and disadvantages. It seems to be an extra insurance and can help him understand the information about the outside world, but the disadvantages are also obvious.
The most important point is that it will interfere with your understanding of the avenue.
Although it is a clone, it is an independent personality after all, and it also has its own perception. When the memories are fused, this perception will be merged together and cannot be separated.
This does not matter to Connie's race, because they have different cultivation methods and do not need to comprehend the great path.
But not him.
Of course, if the memory is not integrated, there will be no such disadvantage.
But without this function, the clone has little meaning, and only has the function of being reborn through the shell.
However, this function has many limitations, so it is better to directly refine it into a substitute death puppet.
Chen Lin moved his fingers, and a jade slip appeared in his hand, and he looked into his mind to examine it.
The secret method Zishu gave him is very advanced. After it is refined, the scapegoat puppet will be integrated into himself. No matter how he was killed, the scapegoat puppet will take effect and help the master avoid the disaster. .
With his current level of cultivation, the level of the resurrection scroll is too low to be effective. Moreover, the scroll was placed in the South Star Realm by him and cannot be retrieved. With this surrogate puppet, he has a life-saving trump card. .
It just so happened that Chen Lin still had some doubts about Connie's clone fruit and was worried that the other party would use it to make a backup plan. Now if it is used to refine the scapegoat, there will be no problem.
