(691 There are many paper figures filled with scented bait, and the female cultivator is alone and is attacked)

Although Gouzhu's plan is simple, it is not that easy to implement. One of the biggest troubles is that Jin Po itself will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

The reason why it attacks mortals repeatedly is because devouring mortal souls can prompt it to evolve continuously until it becomes a true spirit. But it can also sense the threat from monks to it. Therefore, if a monk is patrolling the mine, the probability of its appearance will be

It dropped significantly.

Only when a large number of mortal miners are working in the mines and stimulated by digging gold mines will it appear obediently. But if some miners are brought down to work and something goes wrong, Boss Song may not be able to handle it.

In order to create signs that there were a large number of mortals underground, but not to allow mortals to actually be in danger, the only way Gouzhu could come up with was to make more paper mannequin stand-ins.

It is not easy to make a paper figure stand-in. It is not just a matter of cutting out a human figure from a piece of paper as in folklore.

To make this thing, you need to use bamboo sticks and strips as the skeleton, tie it with hemp into a human shape, then paste it with talisman paper, and then draw clothes and eyebrows. Finally, drop human blood to draw the talisman, so that it can be dyed with the breath of a stranger.

What's even more terrible is that the entire set of operations cannot be performed by mortals. Only monks who make it carefully can infuse spirituality bit by bit. And whether the production is fine and whether the painting is lifelike directly determines whether the paper man substitute is real.

"Hey, why are we all working and you're just watching?"

At this time, Huang Lu and Song Ruhai were also asked by Gou Zhu to make paper man substitutes. Together with Murong Qing, the three of them felt very frightened when facing the large piles of bamboo sticks and talisman papers prepared. Because Gou Zhu asked each of them to at least

Make ten paper dummies.

"Because you are responsible for driving the paper man to mine, and I have to be ready to attack at any time. When that guy appears, I will be the first one to rush forward, okay?"

The advantage of Gou Zhu being the first to rush is that he is a Yin cultivator and possesses Yin Dan's devious energy to hide his cultivation aura. When he is waiting in the mine, a creature with little intelligence like Jin Po should be able to hide his cultivation aura.

He mistook him for a mortal.

The paper man made by a monk can only be driven by himself. If Gouzhu can't drive the paper man at all, then there is no point in making it.

"Hmph, you are the only one who is smart!" Huang Lu rolled her eyes at him, "Then who will get the golden soul after catching it?"

"Old rules, it's evenly divided!" Lian Ling was away, Gouzhu became arrogant, as if he had the final say in everything, "One person gets the golden soul, and the other gets the blood spirit stone or Xuanyin pill. As for who gets it

Jin Po, whoever is willing to contribute the most money will get it."

Huang Lu lowered her head and thought, if she didn't make paper figures, she would have to rush to the front when Jin Po appeared. She had never seen Jin Po before, and she didn't know how dangerous it was. It was best for Gou Zhu to be the first to do this.

Anyway, it was an equal share. She said no more and silently bowed her head and made paper figures.

Song Ruhai smiled sheepishly and said: "This is my family's business, so I won't divide it. You three can divide it."

"Hehe, the boss is so loyal!" Gou Zhu narrowed his eyes and smiled, thinking in his mind how much more he could get if one less person shared the money.

It took two full days for these four people, but only three of them actually did it, to pierce thirty paper figures. The large number of paper figures were carefully moved to the lift and lowered into the dark depths of the mine.

The underground is humid and stuffy, like a steamer. The air is filled with a weird smell of sulfur. But in the mine there is a huge gourd-shaped ventilation artifact made of black black iron. After stuffing a Xuanyin Pill, there is suddenly something inside it.

The cool breeze blew out, and the temperature in the entire mine began to gradually drop.

Huang Lu found an open place to set up a magic formation, and inserted Murong Qing's Thunder Mysterious Sword on the ground as the center of the formation. Then Murong Qing injected a ray of spiritual thought into it.

The blade of the Lei Xuan Sword trembled, and dozens of straight rays of blue light shot out, illuminating dozens of bright light spots like blue stars on the roof and walls of the cave.

These light spots correspond to the traction stones that Gouzhu has placed everywhere in the pit. There are about fifty or sixty of them, spread throughout the main area of ​​the mine. As long as there is a golden soul approaching, the nearby stars will change.

It was extremely bright.

Huang Lu, Murong Qing, and Song Ruhai began to sit cross-legged and perform their exercises. As soon as the three of them sent out the power of their spiritual consciousness with their true energy, light and shadow began to flow on the paper figures lying on the ground. They were all made of paper.

Each of the dolls has become vivid to the naked eye.

The paper figures they made did not necessarily have to look like themselves. In order to be more realistic, they all made images of strong miners wearing head protection hats, some wearing coarse cloth short clothes, and some topless.

These people stood up one by one holding hammers, iron drills, chisels and other tools in their hands, almost no different from real mortals.

With everything ready, Gouzhu stood up and walked out. As he walked forward, the faces of the other three people and the stars on the cave wall continued to become blurred. When he walked out of the magic circle and looked back, everything they had arranged had changed.

It became an empty cave with nothing inside.

This is because Huang Lu has set up a concealment formation here, so that others cannot see it even if they are close to him, to prevent Jin Po from discovering that there are monks here and being unwilling to show up.

The lifelike miners seemed to have walked out of the void, completely ignoring the existence of Gou Zhu. They wore bamboo hats on their heads to prevent the slag from falling, and there were lighting candles on the hats.

They walked around the mine without saying a word. When they found a vein of gold ore, they began to dig. Their movements were very mechanical, like puppets.

The tools in the hands of these paper figures are actually made of paper. But under the stimulation of Chunyang Dan, Song Ruhai and others, these tools jingle and clang when they hit the rocks, sparks fly and rubbles continue to fall down, just like the real ones.

.

Although they are so real, if a mine owner wants to use paper man substitutes to replace the miners, it is extremely uneconomical.

Because the main power of these paper figures comes from a Pure Yang Pill embedded in the body, and in addition, the monks must constantly use their mind and true energy to motivate them. Not only do they have no intelligence, but their operation consumes much more than human miners.

Fortunately, although Huang Lu, Song Ruhai and others' paper substitute skills can't be compared with the paper substitutes controlled by the Soul Sect disciples, there should be no problem at all in deceiving the thousand-year-old soul who doesn't have much spirituality.

Gou Zhu himself put away the luminous pearl on his head. The candlelight on the "miner's" bamboo hat had given him enough light source. He walked through the main gold mining mines and the locations with red crosses on the map, constantly using voice transmission.

The jade slip contacted several people in the formation and arranged for them to control the paper figures to mine in those places.

After all thirty paper figures were arranged, he walked back and entered the formation again. The four of them waited here with bated breath, looking at the blue stars above their heads and the deep water-like darkness outside the formation.

Even though they knew that the creatures outside the formation could not see or hear the sounds within the formation, they were still so nervous that they did not even dare to speak out.

Now that everything is ready, they are just waiting for the golden soul to appear on its own.

…

Fifty miles southeast of Tongzhou City, there is a mountain pass, which is the only way from Yuzhou to Tongzhou. It is called Tongkou, and trade routes flourished, gradually forming a small town.

There is the Five Elements Sect's Demon-killing Hall near Caini City in Yuzhou, and there are frequent contacts with the Five Elements Sect's Five Virtues Temple in Tongzhou.

Only a few extremely urgent or extremely solemn events will use the teleportation array for people to communicate. Most of the time, they will ride back and forth directly. This can save a lot of teleportation costs.

The journey from Yuzhou to Tongzhou is not safe. There are many mysterious bandits and demons on the road. The disciples of the Five Elements Sect are fully armed and travel together. Only when they reach Tongkou can they stop and enjoy themselves.

That night, dozens of disciples who had finished their training in the Demon-Slaying Hall were particularly excited. They ate, drank, chatted and had fun in street restaurants until late at night.

There was only one female Shuideyuan disciple in a black vest who was not very gregarious. Not long after the dinner started, she made an excuse early and went back to the inn room alone.

She entered the room and lay down tiredly. Thinking of the "jokes" her senior brothers told when they were drinking, she felt a chill in her heart. She was just glad that she left in time. She didn't regret at all that she didn't eat much for dinner and her stomach was still full.

A little squeaky.

At this moment, there was a knock at the door.

This seemed like a normal thing, but to her, it was a source of worry. The Five Elements Sect dealt with a lot of black bandits and monsters, and there were quite a few people who were looking for lone Five Elements Sect disciples to take revenge or to rob and gain some benefits.

She pulled out the sword and held it in her right hand, while holding a jade piece in her left hand. As long as she used a little force to crush the jade piece, her fellow disciples who were eating, drinking and having fun in the restaurant below would immediately receive a warning and come over.

Save her.

There was a movable bamboo piece on the locked door. She pulled the bamboo piece open to reveal a small hole in the door, put her eyes on it, and at the same time glanced outside the door with her consciousness.

There was indeed a person standing outside the door. She was a delicate-looking woman, dressed like a maid in an inn. She was holding a tray in her hand, with several plates of exquisite food on it.

After scanning with her spiritual consciousness, she did not feel any signs of true energy fluctuations. Therefore, this woman should be a mortal.

"What's up?"

"An elder brother from the Five Elements Sect said that the lady did not eat dinner well, so he ordered a midnight snack for the younger sister to deliver." The little maid bowed her knees slightly and answered in a gentle voice.

Her heart felt warm. She didn't know which senior brother was so considerate, could it be him? She put her sword back into the scabbard and quietly held the jade piece in her palm. Then she opened the door and was about to take the tray with both hands.

But then her expression changed, and an accident happened!
