Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 58 Fierce Battle
After a short rest, Jiang Nianqing asked me to help her up.I asked her how she was feeling, after all, judging by her face, she didn't seem to be all right.

"You are a disciple of Taoism. You should be clear that the casters are borrowing power from gods and ghosts. The more they borrow, the more they will repay. This art of absorbing souls is not a good art, it belongs to ghosts. The method of the Tao, but I’m just a little weak now, so it’s okay.” After speaking, he put on his backpack and called everyone to move on.

After exiting this "mortem room", he entered a passage again.Now it seems that this place is no longer a magical work of nature, and there are traces of artificial excavation everywhere.

Looking at the walls on both sides, Jiang Nianqing said, "It would be great if Juanjuan was here, she should know these symbols."

I looked in the direction she pointed, and there were some small characters carved on the stone.

"These seem to be in Latin, I don't know the other symbols." Xiao Qi spoke at this time.

I pressed him if he could translate, and he shook his head.

"This sentence seems to be in Sanskrit?" Hearing Yin Mei said this sentence, I became curious again.After watching it carefully, I found that there are some Taoist symbols engraved on it.

"Is this a large collection of religions?" I burst out after seeing so many language symbols blended together.

"But, there are no Chinese characters? Yinmei, can you translate that little Sanskrit text?"

Yin Mei nodded when she heard Jiang Nianqing's words, and carefully looked at the words on it.

"Mmm, devil, at the edge of the world, at the border? It doesn't make sense, but I can actually understand a little bit." Yin Mei waved her hand, expressing her limited ability.

"The devil is on the edge of the world. What do you mean? Forget it, let's take a picture and study later." When I finished speaking, Xiaoqi started to take pictures with his mobile phone.

"So we don't have a camera?" I asked them.

"Yes, it's on Xia Juanjuan's body." After Xiaoqi took the picture, she directly controlled the phone to fly forward.But I found that the more I went inside, the more words on the wall, but they were all repeated words.

"Don't go, it's a dead end again." Hearing Xiao Qi's words, everyone had disappointed expressions on their faces.

Logically speaking, the words on the wall may be clues to remind us of the way forward.I told everyone my thoughts, but they didn't have a clue after thinking about it for more than ten minutes.

"How about we go back and see if Juanjuan can think of anything." Jiang Nianqing's proposal was unanimously agreed.This kind of mind-consuming guessing game is only suitable for Juanjuan.

So we walked back quickly, and we walked back to the corner in a short time. When we turned around, we found Lao Wu lying on the ground with a pool of blood on his head.A familiar man was putting a knife on the neck of the weeping Xia Juanjuan.

This person is Tao Ming, because his face is so impressive.

"Tao Ming, let go of this girl! Also, where is my master?" I yelled at him angrily.

"Hey hey", Tao Ming sneered, Jiang Nianqing whispered in my ear, "This man is very evil, I can't see that he has a soul."

How can a person have no soul?
Most likely he used some technique to block his soul.Jiang Nianqing continued: "This kind of person may have experienced divine punishment, catastrophe, etc. As the saying goes, if he jumped out of the three realms and is not in the five elements, he may have become a fairy, but the evil spirit in his body can only be caused by another person. A possibility."

"What is it?" I asked anxiously.

"It means becoming a walking corpse demon. This kind of people usually jump out of reincarnation after many catastrophes and reincarnations, and then take their homes on the bodies of vicious people and resurrect them." After Jiang Nianqing finished speaking, she was startled. The cold sweat on my head.

"Brother Dao, let's have a good talk. Do you think it's against morality for you to hold a defenseless little girl hostage?" I quickly changed my attitude and said with a playful smile.

"You guys are quite capable. You actually wiped out all the corpses I refined, and took away his seven souls. In this case, I can only take her soul away, which is only fair." Said When you are done, chant the mantra.

Jiang Nianqing quickly took out the little straw man and said to Tao Ming:

"This Taoist priest, they attacked us first, so they came up with such a bad plan. After taking your soul, you will be very weak, and you will definitely not be able to beat us in the future. It's better like this." Jiang Nianqing swallowed and continued. : "I'll give you his soul, can you let our friend go?"

Tao Ming's small eyes rolled around, probably thinking about Jiang Nianqing's proposal, and finally he smiled wretchedly.

"If you want me to say, there is another way, that is, you give me the soul in your hand, or I will kill her, and then kill you all, which is also very good."

After a few months, I kind of forgot Tao Ming's voice, but now this shrill voice is definitely not the normal Tao Ming.

"Give it to him. Anyway, there is no corpse for him to use as a puppet now. It is important to save Juanjuan's life first." I said to Jiang Nianqing.

"No, if you really give it to him, he will definitely kill Juanjuan." Jiang Nianqing's words made me realize that this Tao Ming seems to be someone capable of such a thing.

Jiang Nianqing whispered behind us: "Xiaoqi, I will throw the straw man over in a moment, and you take the opportunity to control him. Yinmei, you are fast, go directly to save Juanjuan. Thirteen, find a way to get this devil The soul is forced out."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Nianqing yelled, Tao Ming caught it, and then threw it forcefully.At the same time, she turned out her black pupils.

I was still thinking about how to force his soul out, who would have thought that Jiang Nianqing would throw out the chips in his hand so quickly.

"It's now!" Jiang Nianqing ordered, and Xiao Qi took advantage of Tao Ming's distraction to control him. His narrow eyes were staring at us in horror.

"Thirteen? Hurry up!"

"I'm thinking, I'm thinking!" At this time, Yin Mei had limped back with Juanjuan on her back.But I still had no idea, "Aunt Jiang, do you have any ideas? For example, use Soul Sucking again?"

"That's all I can think of, but I'm running out of time, look at Xiaoqi." After listening, I turned my head and saw Xiaoqi, the corners of his mouth began to bleed, and his eyebrows were still curled into a ball.

By the way, can you beat the soul with your soul?I expressed my thoughts, and Jiang Nianqing said that it should work.Whether it succeeds or not, now we can only try.

Although I don't know why she wants me to play his soul, but she has rich experience, there must be her reasons.

I ran over quickly and picked up the little straw man.I took it from the bag, bit off the newly scabbed finger, tore off the suppressed spell with my mouth, and smeared the blood on the scarecrow's head.

Using the blood as a primer, you can draw out the soul.Then I prayed silently in my heart that it must be effective, stepped forward and shouted: "Open!"

Then he pressed Tao Ming's forehead forcefully, and a black shadow immediately popped up from his body. Jiang Nianqing who was behind him also began to chant a mantra, and the black shadow immediately stood on the ground motionless.

"Thirteen, I have controlled his soul with a curse, and I am about to destroy him!" Jiang Nianqing shouted, and I also took out the Lei Qilin, and quickly finished the seven-doukuigang step.

After a flash of white light, the black shadow disappeared and the dead body fell to the ground.

After finishing the work, I carefully observed whether the soul of the Hanba I played ran away, and suddenly thought that Lei Qilin was using a group attack skill, so I didn't worry about it.After dissipating the gas, he leaned over to look at Old Wu lying on the ground.

"Thirteen, burn his body. Cough cough." After Jiang Nianqing finished speaking, he coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. It seemed that he was really old and couldn't stand the trouble.

I set Tao Ming's body on fire, and told them: "Old Wu just passed out, his head was scratched, the wound is not deep, just bandage it." Yin Mei nodded, walked to Lao Wu's side and began to bandage.

"Aunt Jiang, are you in good health? Leave it to us later. By the way, I have a question. Why didn't we just take the opportunity to kill him?" I said.

"Hey, his body is no longer an ordinary person, basically invulnerable to swords and guns. Because his soul has been cultivated into a demon, so the most important thing is to quickly deal with his soul." After speaking, she swallowed a few sips, and From a small porcelain bottle, a familiar little yellow bug was poured out and swallowed.

Seeing our current situation, my mind is in a mess.Not to mention one missing, one missing a leg, the other fainted, the most powerful captain, now also has a great loss of vitality.

I don't know if it's a bad start this time.

Xiao Qi was by the side, showing Xia Juanjuan the strange words found in it just now. At this time, I seemed to hear rustling sounds in my ears, like insects crawling.

"No, everyone, go to the next cave!"

I don't know if it's the smell of blood, but it drove the worms crazy, and they used the worm wall tactics directly, and they rushed out layer by layer.Xiaoqi, Juanjuan and Jiang Nianqing retreated in temporarily.

But Yin Mei couldn't carry Old Wu's burly figure, so I quickly picked up the water and ran over, took a sip of water and sprayed Old Wu's face.

"Ah! What's going on! Where is this?" Old Wu suddenly woke up and was a little confused. I didn't care about that, and hurriedly dragged them in, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, the swarm is coming up."

"I haven't got my bag yet!"

Lao Wu still wanted to get the bag, but I pulled him hard and said, "Don't worry about your broken bag now, your life is at stake!"

After a while, it rushed to the innermost dead end. Although the insect swarm is still far away from us, but there is a huge number of support, this limestone field will not last long.

"Thirteen, pour this corpse oil far away and light it, it should last for a while." After Jiang Nianqing finished speaking, he threw the vial full of corpse oil to me.

"I still have some kerosene here, you should also mix some together." Old Wu covered his head by the side, frowning and said, "Our supply rations are all in the bag outside, we have to find a way out as soon as possible , or it is impossible to starve to death here."

I ignored what Old Wu behind me said, and hurriedly poured the oil on the ground, and then lit it with a fire talisman.

"How is it? Juanjuan, can you understand?" Xiaoqi frowned and asked, I found that he had learned to frown since he learned to frown, as if he had always had this expression on his face.

Xia Juanjuan was still not very sober, and said vaguely: "It means, probably: 'Use the blood of the wizard to dedicate to the river of terror; at the edge of the world, release the leader of the devil.' It seems to be like this."

I thought about it for a long time. It seems that Jiang Nianqing is like a wizard inside us. So what is the terrifying river?

"Look here, it looks like a gutter, but it's very shallow."

After listening to Xia Juanjuanjuan's words, she realized that there was indeed a thin gully on the ground.

At first I thought it was the gap between the stone bricks?Old Wu took out the dagger, cleaned the dirt and dust inside, and cleaned it up in a few strokes.Look carefully, there is also a symbol of "Edict" written in one stroke in the blood tank.

Could it be that blood should be used to activate this organ? Thinking of this, he asked Old Wu for a dagger, but Jiang Nianqing snatched it away.

"You'd better have a good rest, let me come this time." Without waiting for my rebuttal, Jiang Nianqing cut open his palm with a dagger.Then he clenched his fist tightly to let the blood flow out.

He looked at the blood, trickling down in the sink, waiting for it to flow through the "Edict", and finally flowed into the stone wall in front of him.

"No, these disgusting bugs have rushed over, what's going on behind?" Xiaoqi had been standing beside Juanjuan, looking into the distance, and suddenly turned around and said to us.

"No response?" Jiang Nianqing said, "Do you want to chant a spell?" As soon as the words fell, the stone wall began to move to the right, dust was everywhere around, and everyone coughed.

"This door is too slow, I'll block it for a while, you guys pass through as soon as possible." After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he handed Juanjuan to Old Wu.

Xiao Qi kissed the cross on his neck, walked to the middle of the road, pointed his hands at the swarm of insects on the ground, and blocked their way with his own abilities.

Wave after wave of insects surged up from behind, and they piled up high, forming a wall of insects.And in front, it was as if there was a side of glass, blocking the menacing poison.

"We can pass, hurry up!" After Jiang Nianqing said a word, let old Wu Fujuanjuan go over first, and we passed by one by one.Xiao Qi stepped back and passed the stone wall.After walking a few steps, everyone was stunned by the sight in front of them.

"Hey, why didn't you leave? You..." Xiao Qi backed up, bumped into me, looked back, and subconsciously said, "Alelujah, Holy Mary, Lord Jesus!"

After coming out of the stone wall, there is only less than a few square meters of space to settle down.Ahead is a cliff.But it was not the cliff that frightened us, but a huge black door on the opposite side of the cliff.Around the black gate, something like ashes was floating down from the sky.

Fortunately, there is a bridge, otherwise I don't know how to get there.

Old Wu took out a flare from his trouser pocket, wiped it and threw it off the cliff, then immediately looked at his watch.After a long time, I heard the sound of falling into the water below.

"There must be at least two kilometers below here. It sounds like there is water below, but if you fall, you probably won't survive." Old Wu said, "I don't know if the bridge is strong or not."

"I'll have to try it out whether it's firm or not. I can't get out now." After speaking, Jiang Nianqing was the first to go up.

Judging by her appearance, she felt that the bridge was okay, so everyone walked forward cautiously, and Lao Wu helped Juanjuan to walk behind.Yinmei took a look at me and made a gesture of please, letting me go first.

In this way, everyone walked onto the bridge one by one.

I was a little dizzy, my legs were trembling, and my palms were sweating.I silently prayed to the gods in my heart that nothing would happen to me.

I'm not married yet, and I haven't had a child yet. I'm over [-], and I'll die when I die.

Just comforting himself like this, he forgot to be afraid, and walked over after a while, followed closely by Yin Mei.

"It's over, I've reached my limit now." Xiao Qi shouted loudly.

"Run over here!" Old Wu shouted.

Xiao Qi turned his head and ran, the speed of this bug is not particularly fast, normally it can't catch up with Xiao Qi, but the sudden accident made us all stunned.

After the group of bugs got on the bridge, they didn't even chase after it, but frantically gnawed on the fixed hemp rope beside the bridge.

Before Xiao Qi reached the middle, he heard a cracking sound. The two load-bearing ropes of the cable bridge broke and fell downwards. Xiao Qi grasped the air with one hand and disappeared into the abyss.

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi!" Xia Juanjuan, who was the youngest in the class, couldn't help shouting out.Jiang Nianqing walked over and held her in his arms, his eyes full of distress.

Such a big living person disappeared before his eyes.

I looked down at the extremely dark cliff, and was stunned.I remember that Liu Chunli told me to take good care of him, but since he is gone, how can I take care of him?
