After talking to the paper clone of the White Paper City Lord for a while, Ning Zhuo returned to his residence in Zangyang Beppu and took a short rest.
He took out the four treasures given by the white paper city lord and observed them carefully.
The wine of Hangu Yuelu wine is translucent silver-gray, and if you look at it from the side, you can see that the surface of the wine is glowing with a layer of white moonlight.
If the wine is left still for a long time, it will condense into fine suspended objects, similar to bone fragments.
Ning Zhuo turned his mechanism ring and tried to take a sip.
The wine is very clear in the mouth, like snow water. When it enters the throat, a warm feeling like a hot spring surges. When you taste it, your mouth is filled with the cold aroma of cedar and ice mint.
There are nearly 100 roots of Jiuquan benzoin, each of which looks like a thin dead branch, with a dark purple surface.
Ning Zhuo pinched half the length of his finger and tried to light it.
The burning Nine Springs Benzoin, the green smoke is as straight as a hanging silk, thin and long. Smelling it, it was like rotten soil mixed with wet and cold white plums.
The ashes after burning still maintain their intact incense shape, and if they touch something with yang energy, they will immediately transform from ashes to black water dewdrops. At this time, it smells like the deep woody fragrance of a thousand-year-old coffin.
The Hungry Ghost Backlash Cauldron was as tall as one person, it was a bronze three-legged and two-eared cauldron.
The cauldron was covered with copper rust, and the rust formed a blurry picture of a hundred ghosts devouring each other. There were dried dark green ink marks on the inner wall of the cauldron, and the three cauldrons were wrapped in a layer of gray bones. The tripod ear seemed to have a layer of dark brown pulp, but upon closer inspection, it was found that countless finger marks and tooth marks overlapped layer by layer.
The last one is the "Underworld Criminal Book".
It is a tin sheet and iron page book, which is quite heavy.
The iron shell cover was as dark as night, and the cast black iron hoop pattern faintly revealed the underworld wheel
Wide. The roof of the palace carved with ink chalcedony on the ridge is solemn in shape.
The pages of the book are cold-rolled with a thousand forged cold iron, like thin blades and glowing with a dark green light.
Each page is engraved with a punishment pattern, namely oil pot, knife mountain, sword tree, sea of fire, iceberg, iron bed, heart-digging, tongue pulling, cow pit, grinding disc, sawing, stone pressure, iron tree, intestine strangulation, blood pool, etc.
When the book was opened, the iron pages clashed with each other, making the sound of iron shackles colliding.
Ning Zhuo only needs to touch his fingers, which will make the soul feel pain in different ways.
"They are all good babies!" Sun Lingtong was also observing, his eyes shining.
Ning Zhuo nodded slightly and put these ———— away.
He didn't rush to use it, but figured out the person of the White Paper City Lord.
Before, the white paper city lord was obviously calculating, simple and direct, which made Sun Ning and both of them complain and be on guard.
But after the last meeting, Ning Zhuo found that this person acted quite magnanimously, and he had something to say.
"She could have secretly hidden the proverbs and poems and other things and didn't tell me, but she said that she wasn't worried about me sitting on the ground and raising the price."
"In fact, she is quite handwritten and not stingy. The cold bone moon dew wine alone exceeded the upper limit of my expectations."
"There is indeed a heroine among women."
"Did my mother cooperate with the city lord of the white paper because of this? Does she feel the same way about the White Paper City Lord as I do?"
"My mother is really benevolent and magnanimous, and she doesn't want the position of deputy city lord...... Compared with my mother, my pattern is too different, and I can't be so self-sacrificing."
"Vientiane Sect...... True disciple......"
A knock on the door interrupted Ning Zhuo's thoughts.
The person who came was none other than Wen Nephrite.
Now Ning Zhuo knew that this person was his mother Meng Yaoyin's fellow junior brother, Jindan level, and he was also a true disciple.
The Vientiane Sect is a super sect, and its personality is similar to that of the Soul Devouring Sect and the Bukong Sect, to become a true disciple of such a force, the minimum cultivation level must be the Golden Pill!
"It's coming." Ning Zhuo got up and opened the door.
He was not surprised at all by Wen Nephrite's initiative. All because the white paper city lord had already given a clear explanation before, let him take Wen Nephrite to cooperate with him to review the traitors in the upper management.
Wen Nephrine bowed to him and smiled: "I will fully cooperate with Jiao Ma Daoist to complete this important task!"
Since Ning Zhuo captured the three Jindan level ghost generals alive, his attitude and tone towards Ning Zhuo were very equal.
This time, he was personally taken care of by the city lord of the white paper and asked him to attack Ning Zhuo.
This made Wen Nephrite's posture even lower, and he faintly regarded himself as Ning's deputy.
He is a Confucian cultivator, no matter what he thinks inside, at least his attitude on the surface is very upright and in place.
Ning Zhuo also bowed in return, recited to Wen Nephrite's consciousness, and told him: Let's not startle the snake, Jiao Ma's identity can be maintained, and we must try to maintain it. The next thing to do, I will follow Wen Nephrite to detect the traitor as Jiao Ma, ostensibly Wen Nephrite is the main one.
Wen Nejade thought for a moment, this was a mature and prudent move, and his evaluation of Ning Zhuo rose a little, and he agreed.
He asked Ning Zhuo where to start next.
Ning Zhuo did not hesitate to convey to him: "I have preliminarily thought about it, let's go to the south of the city to take a look first."
When he arrived at the south gate of the city, Ning Zhuo saw the paper man colossus again, as well as the many monks who were actively resting on the battlefield.
Ning Zhuo: "I need to see the various arrangements made by Senior Meng Yaoyin back then.
Wen Nejade followed Ning Zhuo's secret instructions, first let all the other monks present retreat, leaving the two of them alone, and then opened the magic circle for Ning Zhuo, and entered the magic circle space at the same time.
Here, Ning Zhuo saw the true structure of the magic circle, which was so complex and detailed that it made him dizzy.
"Mother is really amazing!"
"In terms of formation, the attainments are too deep, and it is difficult for me to understand them eagerly.
Ning Zhuo secretly communicated with Sun Lingtong, looking reverent and admiring.
Sun Lingtong giggled, thinking: Wasn't this magic circle designed by your mother and the city lord of the white paper city for seven days and seven nights?
Sun Lingtong understood Ning Zhuo's mood very well and did not dismantle the stage.
Meng Yaoyin was the true inheritance of the Jindan of the super sect, and she was proficient in mechanical techniques, so she was naturally proficient in many cultivation skills. Unfortunately, she died early, leaving only a set of classics on mechanical techniques for Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo did not inherit her formation heritage and couldn't understand the magic circle here, but he had his own way.
"Senior Wen, please explain the structure to me." Ning Zhuo made a request directly.
Wen Nephrite immediately patiently explained to Ning Zhuo, knowing everything and saying everything.
Ning Zhuo's formation foundation was solid, and he barely understood two or three points, and made an accurate judgment in his heart: "My mother personally arranged this place at the beginning, and if the various arrangements of this magic circle were burned with cremation Prajna Spiritual Sutra, it should be able to gain a lot of spirituality."
After looking at the magic circle, Ning Zhuo said to Wen Nejab: "Let's go to the inside of the paper man colossus and take a look."
Warm nephrite is not impossible.
Hell.
Water buried deep in the valley.
The gray bone old man sat cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, and stared complicatedly at a skull in front of him.
This is the skull of the heavenly ghost, it is a treasure material of the void refining level!
Now, the skull has been refined by the lord to melt like water on the surface, but the inside is still stubborn bone.
"No wonder you, my lord, don't hesitate to spend such a price to refine this piece of heavenly ghost bone."
"This high-level talent, you complement each other well, no, it seems to be as harmonious as made in heaven."
The lord laughed: "If it weren't for this, why would I have to fight so much."
After he obtained this skull, he studied it carefully and found that there was a small demigod power left. After hundreds of years of painstaking arrangement and continuous investment in manpower and material resources, we finally saw signs of completion this year.
In the skull of the heavenly ghost, only a small part of the bone remained.
As long as it is completely refined, the lord can completely absorb it and add a new talent to himself!
The lord sighed: "I have worked hard to obtain this talent. Just to obtain the heavenly ghost incarnation tribulation gift, I spent 30% of my house's treasury to exchange it with his house."
The gray bone old man was silent for a while, and then said: "This ritual originates from Confucianism, sacrificing heaven and earth, and is virtuous in the underworld and evil in the yang world. Therefore, it caused countless killings and blood debts in the White Paper Immortal City."
The lord sneered: "Those who achieve great things are informal, I am the king of the underworld, do I still need the morality of the underworld?"
"I will get rid of the White Paper Immortal City, and the whole city will be used for blood sacrifices to complete the sacrifice of my heavenly ghost incarnation!"
The gray bone old man sighed: "Therefore, this skull is the source of the disaster. With the help of the calamity energy, I used the technique of overturning the ashes, but at the same time, it also counts that you are still far from success."
The lord nodded slightly: "I know."
"To be able to absorb this skull, you must have at least the heritage of a million souls, and you must have enough evil energy to control the impact of this foreign talent."
"I am the king of a mansion, and my soul has already exceeded tens of millions, and millions of souls are not an obstacle."
"And if I use the ghost tide to attack the White Paper Immortal City, I can obtain the spirit of soldiers and help me resist the impact."
The gray bone old man nodded slightly, and then shook his head gently: "There are others."
"Huh?" The lord was surprised and immediately said, "Can the gray bone Taoist calculate for me?"
The gray bone old man shook his head: "No. But I can remind the lord one or two."
The lord clasped his hands: "Please don't hesitate to teach me."
The gray bone old man said: "It's simple to say, according to my divination skills, in fact, all kinds of hurdles are the battle of qi and number."
"Lord, you are the lord of a mansion, and if you are placed in the yang world, you are naturally the king of a country, and you are extraordinary."
"But this time the heavenly ghost reincarnation tribulation ceremony covered both yin and yang. Your position in the underworld is stable and unbreakable, but in the underworld, you are a big shortcoming."
"To win in the Yang world, you must have the strongest qi in order to succeed."
"And the qi number in the Yang world is obvious, one is the Yin Tide Black Swamp Wetland, the second is the White Paper Immortal City, and the third is the major super sects."
The lord laughed: "I have already planned these three. The City Covering Alliance can solve the geographical advantage, the inner spies can solve the Immortal City, and I have already differentiated between the major super sects.
When the old man heard this, he nodded slowly: "The lord made up his mind and then moved, planned and saved for decades, and acted carefully. According to the current situation, success is a natural development.
"However, such a thing as talent is granted by God. We and others in the world seek any kind of acquired talent, which is against the way of heaven, and it will not be smooth sailing.
"The qi of heaven is the greatest, and compared with the sky, we are like mayflies,
Ants, not worth mentioning.
"Therefore, the lord must not be careless, it cannot be said that the sky has brewed some kind of variable, but it has not yet appeared."
The lord restrained his smile and couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression: "If the gray bone Daoist is like this, then I will find the variables in advance and nip them in the bud, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?"
The gray bone old man said: "This is the method of transformation of tribulation."
"It's already extremely difficult to find the variables first."
"Secondly, we must find the right time and solve the variables. To turn the calamity of the days into a calamity, you must have the right timing and the most accurate heat."
"Earlier, the variables are eliminated, and other variables are derived, or more, or stronger. Later, the variables themselves have already caused irreparable negative impacts."
The lord listened carefully and felt that he had benefited.
White paper fairy city.
Colossus in the south of the city.
Ning Zhuo and Wen Nephrite probed inside the colossus.
"This is a mechanical creation, but it mainly uses two major cultivation techniques: making talismans and tying paper. My mother's mechanical skills are so majestic, and she has such whimsical ideas, I will never be able to catch up!"
Ning Zhuo looked excited.
Although he was determined to study the skill of mechanical skills, he was still too young and his cultivation had just begun, so there was too much room for improvement in his foundation and level.
A flying letter drilled into the colossus at this time and fell into Wen Nephrite's hand.
Wen Nephur's consciousness swept away, and his face was happy: "Daoist Jiao Ma, good news. The city lord personally took action and tortured the three Jindan ghost generals, and learned a lot. They all come from an underworld force in the underworld, which is called the Wangchuan Underworld!"
"Wangchuan underworld?" Ning Zhuo changed color slightly, "This is the same as the forces of the Yang Kingdom
Benchmark, the lord should be a god transformation level, right?"
Wen Nephrite nodded, but comforted: "Although this is the case, the yin and yang are separated, and the lord is also powerful, so it is more impossible to shuttle to the yang world. Otherwise, if the lord had personally taken action, our blank paper immortal city would have been destroyed long ago."
Ning Zhuo narrowed his eyes: "There have been no yin soldiers or ghost generals before, but this time the ghost tide has this new situation. But I heard that the Wangchuan underworld has already made a secret move?"
Wen Nephrite nodded: "That's right. Although ghost tides are normal, they are not frequent. As early as decades ago, the Wangchuan underworld secretly took action to fuel the next ghost tide."
A sharp light suddenly flashed in Ning Zhuo's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and muttered in his heart: "Wangchuan Underworld...... Good, good. It was you who made my mother pay so much, and even sacrificed her life to protect the city."
He thought for a while, and then asked: "Why did the lord of the underworld design to harm the White Paper Immortal City decades ago? Does he still want to get out of the underworld, risk the world's great disgrace, and plot against the underworld?"
Wen Nephrite shook her head: "I don't know the details. But ......
"But what?" Ning Zhuo asked.
Wen Nephrite hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Back then, Senior Sister Meng seemed to have found some clues and figured it out."
"What is the clue?" Ning Zhuo asked again.
Wen Nejab shook her head: "I just listened to Senior Sister Meng's explanation. She left a secret treasure for those who were destined to do so, which was specially arranged for this place.
Ning Zhuo heard the secret treasure again and continued to ask.
Wen Nephyte smiled bitterly: "I have been looking for this secret treasure in the White Paper Immortal City for so many years, and I have never gained anything. Sometimes I also think, maybe this is a clever move by Senior Sister Meng to use people's hearts to mobilize the citizens to actively participate in the city defense, and there is no secret in itself."
Ning Zhuo nodded and continued to observe.
Sun Lingtong was a little impatient and asked secretly: "Xiaozhuo, have you checked for a long time and found any clues about the traitor?"
Ning Zhuo shook his head in his heart and said to Sun Lingtong truthfully: "Boss, I am not Zhu Xuanji, how can I have any ability to detect cases?"
"The purpose of my visit is to see my mother's own arrangement and judge how much spirituality these cremators can get."
Sun Lingtong couldn't help but be silent.
Ning Zhuo laughed: "Don't worry about winning before you think about defeat. Huh?"
Sun Lingtong: "What's wrong?"
Ning Zhuo's tone of communication changed: "Boss, take a closer look, is the arrangement of the mechanism here a use in my mother's classics?"
Sun Lingtong carefully discerned: "That's true. It was your mother's original creation, quite ingenious, and operated positively, which was a set of effects. Running in the opposite direction is another kind of power."
"This use...... I think there should be another layer of hidden space here!"
"Xiao Zhuo!"
"Why do you think your mother is arranged like this?"
Ning Zhuo's heart was shocked, and he almost blurted out: "Secret?"
