After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1320: The Stitched Monster

Dong Rui, who was standing next to him, burst out laughing when he heard this.

He was eating plums, and when he opened his mouth, plum juice spurted out. He Lingchuan dodged in time, with a look of disgust on his face: "Can you pay attention to personal hygiene?"

"Mr. Dong's work was shown in Daishan and was also seen by a few bandits. Therefore, the rumor that the black-armored knight is the evil spirit of the Nine Netherworld has spread throughout Feng County." Wanqi Feng suppressed his laughter, "Everyone thinks that since the evil spirits of the Nine Netherworld are your subordinates, then you must be the Great Emperor of the Nine Netherworld."

"Reasonable, reasonable." Dong Rui smiled and took another bite of the plum. "I should say it, I think this title suits you very well."

He Lingchuan always kept in mind the principle taught by the mirage demon that "when the truth is made false, the false becomes true as well". He wanted the common people to believe that the Black-Armored Knights were an inhuman divine army. The best way was to let people see the "true face" of the Black-Armored Knights. The more terrifying, the more hideous, the better... and the less human-like, the better.

Awe, awe, in fact, "awe" always comes before "respect".

This requires Dong Rui to take action.

He took away many corpses and materials from the underground palace landfill of Minghui Zhenren, most of which retained a trace of life. He Lingchuan asked him to make a few human-shaped corpse puppets, put on black armor and act together with Yang Shanjun.

As long as they "accidentally" reveal their faces during a battle, witnesses will naturally think that all black-armored knights are not human.

The soul-catcher from the underworld is everywhere hunting down bad guys, fighting evil with evil and violence with violence - of course, those in power don't believe in this kind of story, but the common people do, and not only are they willing to believe it, they also enjoy talking about it.

Then, He Lingchuan’s goal would be achieved.

He thought for a moment and said to Wanqi Feng, "Let them call it that for now. Having a few more names is not a bad thing."

Anyway, all the wishes will be gathered here.

Dong Rui glanced at him and said, "Do you know how unreasonable your request is? The remains of the celestial demons, or celestial gods, are generally ten feet tall, and you want them to be compressed to no more than seven feet, and they have to be reduced in proportion, their bodies cannot be too distorted, and they have to be suitable for combat."

After all, after putting on black armor, they are still cavalry and have to fight and kill.

"You are so crazy, and you still ask me to do it within 20 days!" Dong Rui snorted, "If you are so capable, why don't you go to heaven yourself?"

He Lingchuan also reached out and took a plum: "Then how did you do it?"

“I’m gifted.”

He Lingchuan looked at him and raised his right eyebrow: "The demon puppets you transformed with divine blood seem to be able to change size and weight, right? So, this power itself comes from the devil?"

This guy is really hard to fool. Dong Rui rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, the demons can change their size. I found a way to activate this... function of theirs."

"What about the other corpse puppets? When can they be put into use?" When He Lingchuan encountered the soul-catching mirror in Fu Country, the mirror could only release two mirror ghosts. After so many times of infusion of the Emperor's juice, the soul-catching mirror can now release six mirror ghosts at the same time, and it can be properly controlled - although they cannot stay away from the mirror, which means they cannot stay away from He Lingchuan.

"It's not that simple." It was a real pain to explain the principle to a layman. "Have you forgotten the principle that the body and soul must be compatible? The body of the Sky Demon is strong. Even though he has been dead for many years, your few weak mirror ghosts - how should I put it, it's like a baby riding a big horse. You can't control it at all!"

"That?"

"The reason why the corpse puppet in your team can be driven by only two mirror ghosts is that its core is the larval body of the sky demon, which has very low requirements for souls. In addition, most of the body of this corpse puppet is filled with the remains of monsters from the landfill."

He Lingchuan said "Oh", "So it's a stitched monster?"

"…What does that mean?" Dong Rui asked angrily, "Are you insulting my work?"

"I take it back, you continue." He Lingchuan knew very well that he shouldn't anger the project's technical director at this time.

“The principle is too complicated to explain to you clearly. The other two corpse puppets will take another seven or eight days to make.” Dong Rui coughed, “In short, you have to remember that even if you only use a few remains of the Heavenly Demon, you can use the Mirror Ghost to control these black-armored corpse puppets. At most, you can make them run, jump, and fight in groups, but it is difficult to fight as freely as practitioners! Unless——”

He Lingchuan already understood: "Unless I find a more powerful soul to match them?"

"Yes." Dong Rui nodded. "In fact, the Ghost King Xuanlu is very suitable, but he is our enemy and is already dead."

"There are the most demons and ghosts on the Shining Gold Plain, so this shouldn't be a difficult task." He Lingchuan has the Soul Box in his hand, so he can collect ghosts more easily than before. "At worst, I can use the spirit flowers in the Ju Luo Treasure Box to feed the mirror ghosts and let them grow faster."

The spiritual flowers produced by the Jura tree in the soul box can nourish and heal the soul, and are applicable to both humans and ghosts.

"Speaking of this, Master Fu received a request for help. A murder case occurred in Liu County of Pei State: There was a village in the suburbs of the county where more than 80 people died overnight."

"Do ghosts eat people?" Dong Rui asked, "Otherwise why would they ask for help from Old Fu?"

"Most of them died in a miserable way, with wounds all over their bodies, as if they were attacked by wild beasts; but there are also a few who died peacefully, without any injuries, as if they died in their sleep." He Lingchuan shook his head, "If the latter is an old lady in her seventies or eighties, it is called a natural death; many people died like this, and the locals suspected that it was caused by demons."

Dong Rui stroked his chin and said, "Why does the latter way of dying sound so familiar?"

"The Ghost King Xuanlu and his men also eat people this way."

"No, we have to go further..."

At this moment, Jiang Lishui came in and reported:
"Master, Fan Shuang from Yao country is here to visit."

After a few dozen breaths, he saw He Lingchuan in the study.

Fan Shuang facilitated the first two business deals between Yao Kingdom and Yangshan Islands, and was therefore assigned as the bilateral contact person. He has recently been visiting the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce frequently.

Before he could go in, He Lingchuan came out first, grabbed his arm and walked out without saying anything: "Brother Fan, you're here at the right time. It's noon now, let's go to Zhuyin Tavern and have a chat while eating!"

Can Fan Shuang say no?

Zhuyin Tavern has been open for more than 20 years and is a tavern frequented by local people in Jucheng. He Lingchuan bought it with a wave of his hand. The main part is still the original tavern, and it still follows the affordable route, but it has been redecorated to avoid reducing its popularity.

However, on the small riverside behind Zhuyin Wine House, the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce built a row of elegant rooms facing the river to serve high-end gatherings and business banquets.

Jucheng was just an ordinary little town, with few wealthy families. But after the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce opened a branch here, all forces gathered here, and the Yuanxiang Association also chose Jucheng for its elegant gathering, so high-end restaurants appeared.
