Chapter 909: Death Puppet

Chen Linger and others happily left Taiqingshan 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 went by, Xiong Ziqi became more and more anxious. He could already feel that his own projection was being eroded. If it were not for the protection of his official body, he would have been unable to bear it long ago and would have been excluded.

Chen Lin shook his head and said, "Not yet. How is Brother Xiong doing 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 woman of the original county magistrate in this scene, and she was also a creature from the nightmare world. , the other party just kept it to pass the time and didn'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 mission in this scene. In this ghost world, there is no scene that is normal!"

Chen Lin felt sad when he saw the other party's angry look.

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 questions.

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 used some means to seal it off and the other party could no longer enter.

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 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 travel guide is, it is impossible to directly shuttle into a treasure space.

Chen Lin sometimes even suspected that the clues to the mission to leave this world were in the space of the painting. Since Li Fuyao never responded to him, he probably had completed the mission and returned.

"Then what are Brother Xiong's plans? The war on the interface I'm on has ended. After leaving this time, I'll probably rarely come here again."

Regarding the speculation about Li Fuyao's return, Chen Lin did not mention it, and it would be useless if he did. The other party could not 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 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?"

"hehe."

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 stage of the series. It is not certain whether I can reach the Daoyun stage, let alone It’s about the realm of harmony.”

He was speaking modestly.

Although his cultivation is slow, he still has a lot of experience in understanding Taoism, especially after using the Taoist Stone given by Zishu, his current Blade of Destiny has reached the level of a small success. , comparable to a fourth-level Tao Yun powerhouse.

This made him marvel at the wonder of the Taoist Stone again.

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 catastrophes. Even if they are extremely qualified, they will not be able to reach the level of Xiaocheng in less than a thousand years.

I think of the heroic ancestors of the Ye family who were still stuck in the late stage of refining the void for countless years, unable to get a glimpse of Dao 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 Immortal Realm, there are countless talents who have fallen on this level, so we have developed In order to avoid the restriction of Taoist perfection, we find another way to advance to the secret method of Hedao."

Chen Lin's eyes flashed and he said nothing, waiting for the other party's next words.

He naturally needs such secret skills.

Even though he had comprehended Taoism to the fourth level of Tao Yun in the early stages of his cultivation, that was due to 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 and could not get it. It was because he informed the other party that it existed in the relics of the White Bone Saint Lord, and the other party got it, and Breaking through the Hedao realm in one fell swoop.

No matter how hard he thought about it, it would not be easy.

in addition.

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 would probably be measured in thousands of years, and there would be too many accidents along the way.

But he can't take the initiative to ask for it, otherwise 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 show it. As long as Brother Chen helps contact Princess Gegeyun so that she can meet me, I will Just offer 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, so I can't help you if I want to."

Xiong Ziqi immediately expressed disappointment when he heard this.

He took out all the benefits, but Chen Lin still answered like this, so he really wasn't lying.

Both 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.

Firstly, 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 any changes and just waited for Niu Niu to contact him.

Anyway, he is not in any crisis now, so it is better to 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 dejected expression, Chen Lin comforted him: "Brother Xiong, don't despair, there are still a few decades, don't you think of other ways, I will also help you find out outside, maybe during this period the princess will It’s back!”

Xiong Ziqi forced a smile, cupped his fists and thanked him.

Without helping 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.

Returning to the 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 advantage of this opportunity, he planned to use the clone fruit Connie gave him.

But he doesn't plan 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 also help him understand the information from the outside world, but the disadvantages are also obvious.

The most important thing 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 insights. When the memories are fused, this perception will be merged together and cannot be separated.

This doesn't matter to Connie's race, because their cultivation methods are different and they don't 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 was very advanced. After it was refined, the scapegoat puppet would be integrated into himself. No matter how he was killed, the scapegoat puppet would take effect and help the owner avoid 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 leave behind it. Now if it is used to refine the scapegoat, there will be no problem.
