Immortal's Envy of Others

One of the magic gold envoys—Jinshi, can you hear clearly?As for your names, this envoy doesn't need to know, the unnamed souls under this envoy are no different from you. "

"Four envoys and two deities? Then what is the "Tianmen" you mentioned just now?" Li Jie still ignored his threat and asked curiously.

"You don't need to know what Tianmen is, you should take care of yourself first."

As soon as Jinshi's voice fell, the sky above Stone City was immediately filled with yellow sand. It seemed that the whole city was covered with a layer of earthy yellow coat, which gave people an extremely depressing feeling.

Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai instantly turned into a fighting state, one on the left and one on the right to protect Li Jie.

"These yellow sands?"

Li Jie didn't have the slightest sense of being surrounded by the other party. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air. There were a lot of yellow sand on his hand, what else?

"It's nothing more than a lot of pulverized human bones mixed in the yellow sand. How come there are so many dried flesh and blood particles? What did you do to them?"

Could it be that the people in the whole city were slaughtered by him and turned into ashes?

Thinking of this, a strong anger rose from the bottom of Li Jie's heart, "Did you kill these people in the sandstorm?"

"These lowly human beings don't want to do anything. They are all voluntary to be the alchemy furnace. The purpose is to let them make the best use of it. You will soon become the alchemy furnace. When the time comes, you will know how to do it." It's over."

Seeing that Li Jie and the others didn't seem to care about the big yellow sand formation he had set up, Jin Shi secretly rejoiced, how many people died here because they didn't pay attention to this seemingly ordinary formation.

"Alchemy furnace? Demon gold envoy? Could it be that your specialty is alchemy with human beings?"

Li Jie had seen this kind of legendary sorcery in an unknown scroll collected by Fu Tiansheng when he lived in seclusion in Huanglong Valley, but he never thought that someone would actually do it.

Because this kind of alchemy not only requires human beings to voluntarily sign a blood contract, but also uses a new-month-old baby as a lure for each alchemy.

It can be said that this kind of alchemy itself is already inhumane, but the things refined through this kind of technique are even more evil.

Although it is called alchemy, what is actually refined is not gold, but something that looks very similar to gold.

Once a human touches this kind of thing, most of the essence will be slowly sucked away.

Generally, these spirits will be stored in this gold-like substance for the demons to feed on when needed.

And the most evil thing is that these people who have been sucked out of their essence will not die soon, but will be riddled with illnesses and tortured to death.

Jin Shi obviously didn't expect that the young man under the city wall knew the secret alchemy of his family, so he couldn't help being taken aback, but then he thought that this was probably a genius monk from some aristocratic family, so it's not surprising that he was well-informed.

Although he was stunned for a moment, his hands did not relax at all. The khaki sand curtain became thicker and thicker, and the entire sky was completely covered. Although it was not completely dark, it could not be seen clearly even three to five meters away. something.

Accompanied by the yellow sand all over the sky, there was a whistling gust of wind, and the signboards of many shops in the city were crackling. Some simple sheds were directly blown apart, and there were even thick trees with the mouth of a bowl. The roots are blown out of the ground.

Xiao Huang waved his little hand impatiently to drive away the yellow sand on his face, and muttered:

"Sure enough, this guy is useless. He actually uses this kind of kid stuff to scare people. I have quit doing things like blowing sand to blind my eyes hundreds of years ago."

"Idiot!" Xiao Bai scolded him with a sidelong glance.

"Why do you say I'm a fool again, how stupid am I!"

"Look at your own feet. Idiots will always be idiots." Xiaobai kept changing his body shape as he spoke, and propped up a layer of light blue protective shield to resist the attack of yellow sand.

"Ah—how did this happen, Xiaojie, my feet are about to turn into stones." Xiao Huang shouted loudly and turned to Li Jie in a strange posture.

"It seems that the people in this city have been petrified by you. This seems to be in conflict with your demon king's rule of not destroying the city and not killing it all?"

Li Jie held Xiao Huang's hand as he spoke, and exerted a little force.

A soft but powerful force followed his palm directly to Xiao Huang's limbs and bones, and the part of Xiao Huang's leg that had just started to petrify returned to its original state as soon as the force flowed through.

"It's finally interesting." Seeing this scene, Jin Shi suddenly said with a smile.

Then he waved both hands at the same time, and sacrificed something that seemed to be a disc. The moment the disc appeared, all the yellow sand in the sky gathered towards it, forming around Li Jie and the others dozens of huge sand that was as thick as an adult. column.

Dozens of sand pillars, like dozens of ugly earthworms, kept moving around Li Jie and the others, as if they wanted to separate them.

"What's your order, brother?" Li Jie was about to make a move when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear, and he hurriedly withdrew his hands and said.

……

"Yes, I understand. My brother is very right. This is indeed more convenient."

As Li Jie spoke, he pulled Xiao Huang and jumped onto Xiao Bai's back, and whispered a few words to the two of them.

During the conversation, the actions of the three of them slowed down a bit, and they were immediately surrounded by sand pillars.

The three of them supported left and right inside, but they couldn't break through. They could only open a little gap occasionally, and you could see that the sky outside had returned to its original state, while the stones of different shapes that had been placed in the corners of the wall had suddenly disappeared. moved.

Before the encircling circle formed by the sand pillars was completely closed, the last scene Li Jie saw was that the stones piled aside when they entered the city gradually lost their color and turned into living human beings.

So that's the case, Li Jie thought.

Surrounded by huge pillars of sand, the three flew into the air, shuttled quickly on the main street of Stone City, and arrived at the center of the city - the location of the government office of Stone City in a short while.

Li Jie only felt light on his body, and then a thick smoke with a disgusting stench was sprayed straight on his face.

He immediately pretended to be unsteady, leaning on the pillar behind him and looking around.

Xiaobai and Xiaohuang also leaned against him very weakly.

Li Jie's first reaction to this place was: It seems that whether it is the fairy world or the human world, no matter whether it is powerful or useless, monsters really like to build underground palaces to live in.

The hundreds of fist-sized luminous pearls hanging above the resplendent hall are the best evidence for day and night lighting.

Li Jie couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, but said in a tone of panic, "Where is this place? What are you trying to do? Have you poisoned us?"

Suddenly he couldn't help but send a voice transmission to his elder brother: "It turns out that this is more fun than doing it directly."

The elder brother did not answer him for a long time.

"This is my Wanjin Palace. Except for us people in the devil world, no matter if you are a mortal or a monk, once you enter this place, you will never want to get out. What do you think I want to do now?"

Jinshi's khaki-colored clothes turned into a dazzling golden color for some reason as soon as he entered the hall.

At this moment, he was sitting on the golden chair in the middle of the hall, looking at Li Jie and said jokingly.

"But you don't have to be sad. The monks who have been defeated by me are like the princes of the river. One more than you is not too much. Look at them."

Following his words, the walls on both sides of the hall suddenly opened, and it turned out that there were hidden compartments like closets inside.

There are several people sitting upright in each secret compartment, and there are almost twenty people in the whole hall.

It's just that the complexion of each of them is ashen, without the slightest breath of life.

Moreover, Li Jie secretly released a ray of divine consciousness to investigate the crowd. All the people here are monks above the Huayuan stage, and there are even two monks at the Nascent Soul level.

It seems that the magic gold envoy did not exaggerate.

But Li Jie didn't show all these on his face, but was surprised by his elder brother's reminder, and he was afraid that he might not pretend, so he deliberately turned his back to avoid Jinshi's sight.

In Jinshi's eyes, this kind of reaction is naturally that he is afraid.

"Haha, little guy, I think you have good qualifications. If you are willing to submit to me, I can let you go."

"Submit to you?"

"That's right, don't worry, I don't have any dirty thoughts, but a heart of cherishing talents, you have to think about it clearly." For some reason, Jin Shi seems to hope that Li Jie will agree to him, but this is not Li Jie's concern of.

"I just saw that those big rocks in the city turned into ordinary people, and petrified the entire city's human beings on such a large scale. I don't think your yellow sand array has such abilities.

I remember that the blindfold in Wuming Town is because of the very powerful magic circle in the underground palace. Could it be that there is one here? "

Jin Shi laughed again when he heard the words.

"Sure enough, since you've already arrived here, it's okay for me to tell you that the envoy is indeed able to activate the yellow sand formation on such a large scale and for such a long time with the help of the formation laid down by the demon king."

And this is the reason why it is called Stone City.

48

Jin Shi didn't know whether he wanted to show off his ability so that Li Jie would return to him honestly, or because he was in his old lair and felt confident, so there was no need to ask, and he said a lot of things that Li Jie cared about.

For example, he has taken over this city for more than 60 years, and the residents in the city will turn into stone one day every month.

And that's one strategy he can use to ensure stability.

Remind the people here with practical actions every month, you are under my control, you must obey me, otherwise the stone will be your future!

If you don't want to be a rock forever, you must obey me unconditionally.

Whether I want you to be my alchemy furnace;

Or do I want your children to make alchemy seals;

Or I want you to choose some people every year to offer to me;

And of course, each of you must keep to yourself, work hard, and have more children, so that my rule will last forever.

Only with absolute obedience can one live in peace here.

Otherwise, your relatives and friends will be turned into stone by me, and will be tortured by darkness and cold forever until death.

Under such coercion, the people of Stone City went from being frightened at the beginning, to resisting, and finally accepting unwillingly, and gradually turned into resignation to fate.

Every year, those who escaped by chance will look indifferently at those who are chosen as alchemy furnaces, seals or food.

Watching them being sent to the city tower and swept away by the yellow sand.

Seeing their relatives cry heart-piercingly in the city, their hearts are not untouched, but no one thinks there is any problem with it.

Jinshi certainly didn't think there was any problem.

And according to what he said, although he wanted a lot of things, it was not without benefiting the people of Stone City.

Because of his presence, the city has a radius of hundreds of miles and the weather is smooth every year. People inside and outside the city also have many children and grandchildren. They have never suffered any natural or man-made disasters for so many years.

Suddenly Jinshi changed the subject, and said in a strange tone: "And the most important thing is, these people are used to living with me, they don't want to be rescued, otherwise they wouldn't help me catch these monks from the Tianmen.

"Tianmen?" This is the second time Li Jie heard this name, he repeated it curiously, and continued to listen to Jin Shi's high-spirited talk.

Tianmen is an organization that has only slowly emerged in the past five or sixty years to fight against the devil.

Most of the members are human beings who have wandered on this continent due to shipwreck or other unpredictable reasons. Most of them are monks, but there are also a lot of body refiners.

However, according to Jinshi, Tianmen is just a mob, unable to fight against the demon king.

This time, he alone trapped more than 20 Tianmen people who raided Stone City in the magic circle and captured them alive. Naturally, these people were trapped in the hall.

Although Li Jie didn't completely disbelieve what he said, he didn't completely believe it either.

After so many years, the people of Stone City may indeed have become a little numb.

But if the people in Tianmen were really just a mob like what he said, Jin Shi didn't need to emphasize again and again that the capture of these twenty people was all due to him alone.

Not to mention imprisoning them here like trophies and showing them to yourself.

Although I don't know why in a continent where the devil is so strong, the Tianmen people not only slowly unite, but also develop and grow little by little, becoming a force that the devil is afraid of.

But Emperor Qiankun once said: The enemy of an enemy is a friend.

Although Li Jie didn't intend to make friends, it's not a bad idea to save these people and make things difficult for the Lord Demon Lord.

What's more, my own practice of killing but not burying really needs a powerful organization to deal with the aftermath.

Otherwise, the time it takes for these ordinary people who suddenly lost the control of monsters to recover completely may be longer than they imagined.

In fact, until they entered the territory of Stone City, Li Jie could still feel the grief of the people in Wuming Town after learning the truth from the wind, water, and even the ground under their feet.

But this kind of thing, my elder brother doesn't want to care about it. Weakness has never been able to impress my elder brother, it will only make him disgusted.

This Tianmen can just make up for its own shortcomings.

Although most of Tianmen is still monks, there seem to be quite a few body refiners, and body refiners are just ordinary people with extremely strengthened body functions. good communication.

As for Jinshi, Li Jie already knew almost everything he wanted to know, no matter how deep it was, he might not know, even if he knew, he might not be willing to talk about it, and Li Jie didn't bother to ask.

So it was almost time for the drama to end.

Li Jie reached out and patted Xiaobai and Xiaohuang lightly, then slowly turned his body to face Jinshi.

After waiting for him to finish speaking, he said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Jin, for telling me so many things, but I still have to forgive you for not agreeing to the matter of surrender."

Li Jie said it very politely, so although Jin Shi looked disappointed, he didn't get angry.

He shook his head thoughtfully, took a sip from the jug, sighed and said regretfully:

"I saw that you have excellent aptitude and can be of great use in the future. I started to love and cherish talents, so I said a lot of earnest words. I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. I can't say that I have no choice but to follow you. They are also stuck here, slowly inhaling."

As he spoke, he saw Jin Shi lightly waved his single palm, and the entire hall shone with dazzling light in all directions.

It was emitted by thousands of small golden stones inlaid on the floor, walls, and roof of the hall, and it filled the entire hall in an instant, and the unconscious faces of those trapped in the hidden compartment suddenly became pale. Showing a very painful expression.

Naturally, it was impossible for Li Jie not to be defensive against a devil, and almost at the moment Jin Shi made a move, he drew a circle with his backhand.

Immediately, a translucent protective cover rose along the enclosure, protecting Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang.

"Sorry, these gold-absorbing stones are useless to me and let you down."

"I said, how do you know about alchemy? It turns out that you have been in contact with it a long time ago, and there is also a defensive magic weapon, the soul-fixing stone.

I underestimate you a bit, but since these gold-absorbing stones are ineffective for you, I can only use the method of nourishing to absorb your essence.But if you hand over that thing, I can give you a good time. "

Jin Shi was very surprised that the suction/fine formation that he had always been proud of was useless to this young man, and then he naturally thought of the legendary soul-fixing stone that could restrain the gold-absorbing stone.

In his opinion, although this young man's cultivation level is not low, if he doesn't have the legendary soul-fixing stone, he can't resist the power of his own formation anyway. This is a guy who can easily restrain Nascent Soul cultivator!

This legendary soul-fixing stone that fell from the sky and could restrain soul-stirring things like the touchstone was exactly what he hated the most, so he naturally wanted to hold it in his own hands, only in this way would he be most at ease.

As for Li Jie, he didn't take it too seriously, even if he didn't use the gold-absorbing stone, he didn't think it was a strong enemy.

Moreover, when Li Jie is now at an age when male and female are indisputable, Jin Shi's words are unconsciously a little frivolous.

As everyone knows, his words made the elder brothers in the Three Thousand Worlds instantly furious, and the flames shot up into the sky.

"This kind of mind is evil, needless to say, your Buddha's light shines everywhere, and it is the best to exorcise demons!"

Li Jie understood the elder brother's opinion, he was sitting on the ground with a smile on his face while clenching his hands, and after sitting down, he gave Jin Shi a stern look, and then closed his eyes without hesitation.

Immediately, Li Jie's whole body emitted a soft golden light, which continued to deepen and thicken.

For some reason, Jinshi felt an inexplicable sense of fear when he first saw this golden light, so without thinking, he sat cross-legged on the golden seat, clasped his palms together and struck, a small purple-black ball spinning rapidly Flying sand balls floated in the air.
