Chapter 232 Half-body Demon (5000 words long chapter)
At night, with the cicadas chirping noisily, Zheng Xiu returned to the room humming a little tune with the orange cat in his arms.
I took a detour and passed by the courtyard where Feng Bei lived. The lights inside were turned off early. Feng Bei seemed to have rested, which made Zheng Xiu return disappointed.
Since returning from the cannibal painting, the relationship between him and Feng Bei has maintained a subtle "ambiguity". Even if they could cuddle a little, she wouldn't resist Zheng Xiu occasionally accidentally blurting out "ma'am", but it was difficult for her to do so.
Next step of progress.
Zheng Xiu knew that there was a knot in Feng Bei's heart. This knot would not be easily eliminated in a short while, so he could only let nature take its course.
Returning to the room, he undressed and took off his belt. Zheng Xiu couldn't sleep for a while on the bed, so he turned on the phone and entered the dungeon after a long time.
As soon as he entered the dungeon, he heard faint moans.
In a cell, Pingping tied herself into an undulating shape, handcuffed her hands and feet tightly, and arched her toes like crayfish. Her fair skin was slightly red due to congestion, and she was dripping with fragrant sweat.
This made Zheng Xiu feel a little thirsty. Pingping's figure was the most exaggerated among the women he had ever seen. Her wide skirt was white and she exuded a mature charm. However, her face was as young as fifteen or sixteen.
Girls are full of innocence and childishness.
This extremely contradictory combination should be said to be worthy of the princess of the Dayue clan. She lives up to her name: Dayue clan.
Dayeshi Pingping seems to be practicing some very strange and bold thaumaturgy.
The four maids all followed the "Orchid" path. Now they have taken a different path and gone astray. Zheng Xiu cannot help them on the next road. Unless Zheng Xiu is determined to persuade them to go back to the "right path", this is of course impossible.
He knew very well the four golden flowers that had been with Er Niang for many years.
They are all young people who are working hard to make progress in life.
Since Pingping was concentrating on practicing the "Orchid" magic technique, Zheng Xiu did not disturb her. He tiptoed past the hot and hot cell, and Zheng Xiu came to the depths of the dungeon.
The cells are also divided into levels. Although Zheng Xiu can enter the heart prison on the ground of the Red Prince's Mansion due to the "Infinite Purgatory", there is still a difference between the two. In the real prison cell, Zheng Xiu feels that he is different from the [prisoner]
】The connection is closer, and the process of entering the heart prison is smoother.
Sitting cross-legged, Zheng Xiu calmed down his mind. Almost instantly, he felt the human soul floating up and entering the prison of his heart.
The scenery in the prison of the heart is still eerie. [Painter] The strange things are locked aside.
When the soul of Zheng Xiu entered, the skeletal arm was about to move, struggling, and the chain made a clanking sound. He once tried to communicate with the [Painter] monster to test whether it had the ability to communicate. But the result was no surprise, "Weird"
This thing is more like a pure "creature" without intelligence. This made Zheng Xiu disappointed but also secretly relieved.
The [Painter] artifact he obtained is different from other alien artifacts. The alien was born, perhaps already integrated with the artifact when he was born into the world, and they are indistinguishable from each other. But Zheng Xiu’s [Painter] artifact
It was captured the day after tomorrow and was not completely integrated with him.
"Tricks can be snatched."
Zheng Xiu recalled the memory in the painting, and Zhu personally handed the strange object into Gongsun Mo's hands, making Gongsun Mo a real "stranger".
"Are you a different person from birth vs... a different person from the day after tomorrow?"
Zheng Xiu lowered his head and pondered the difference.
But in practice, there seems to be no difference.
Rather, his way of "using" tricks is more flexible. The tricks are no longer an ability. In Zheng Xiu's hands, the tricks have become a "tool".
This may be what makes [Prisoner] truly special.
Zheng Xiu touched the knot on his forehead and thought to himself: "In other words, I have become a 'foreigner' in both the 'Prisoner' and the 'Painter' categories at the same time."
"Except for the particularity of the 'prisoner', are there any other ways... to achieve true fusion?"
"There are 'forks' in the doorway. Is there also a...new road formed by the fusion of the two doorways?"
Zheng Xiu suddenly had a whim.
"For example, 'Orchid' and 'Xingjie', will they become...'Sprinting Orchid'? Or, for example, 'Thousand Doors General' and 'Stealing Door' will become the 'Thousand Doors Phantom Thief' who cheats and steals? Another example is'
A mourner goes to practice being a "literary", but once he starts crying, he becomes a sentimental "poetry fairy"?"
"Holy crap, that's so weird."
Thinking about it again, it’s still weird.
The more I think about it, the weirder it gets.
Zheng Xiu waved his hand, and the rusty chain protruding from the gray fog suddenly loosened. The bone hand, like a tiger that had escaped from its cage, suddenly grabbed Zheng Xiu's face. Zheng Xiu's face was expressionless and he punched
He hammered the "strange thing" to the ground, and the weird thing fell limply on the floor, motionless.
"It seems that it still lacks training. This may be the disadvantage of being a stranger. After all, the monster is not a risk-free thing." Zheng Xiu waved his hand lazily, and the chain locked the monster in the corner again.
The twisted melon is not sweet, it only quenches thirst.
It's just that now in the prison of the heart, the prisoner has the final say. Whether the melon is sweet or not depends on how hard Zheng Xiu twists it. No matter what thing comes in, it can't make waves.
After playing for a while, Zheng Xiu sat on the game table.
At this time, green flames floated up, and the flames contained various qualities used for incarnation.
"After the prisoner opens a new door, other characteristics can continue to improve."
In the dead of night, looking at the many practical features, Zheng Xiu began to make the next "sweeping wool" plan. Zhu, who had lived for a thousand years, once again hid behind the scenes, which made Zheng Xiu feel like a fish in his throat and he was full of vigilance.
As the saying goes, it is easier to avoid an open gun than a hidden arrow. The enemy hiding in the dark is often the most dangerous.
So no matter what, improving one's own strength is always the simplest way to block "hidden arrows".
The three incarnations of [Zheng Shan], [Zheng Baimei], and [Zheng E] closed their eyes and were suspended on the game table. Both the incarnations of [Zheng Shan] and [Zheng Baimei] were "killed" by the crow keeper once, and now they are again
"Resurrection". Zheng Xiu learned from this that the time for resurrection after the incarnation is destroyed is about two months.
Although the destruction of the incarnation does not affect Zheng Xiu's use of the [Painter] artifact, in fact once the incarnation is destroyed, it will still have a certain impact on his strength. There seems to be a "similarity" between the artifact and the incarnation.
[Painter] and [Zheng Shan] are very similar to each other, and there is no ambiguity in their use. He once tried to use [Evil Boy] to use tricks to draw, and there was a clear difference in the feelings that the two gave Zheng Xiu.
This is also why Zheng Xiu wants to find a way to change the "life and death" restriction of "Heaven and Earth Join Gang Gui Yi Sword Intent". It is too painful to use. Killing ten thousand enemies will cause a hundred losses, which is a bit unbearable.
As the level of [Prisoner] increases, new blank incarnations also appear on the game table in the form of a mist, but Zheng Xiu has not yet thought about what to make for the next incarnation.
[Zheng Shan], [Zheng E], [Zheng Baimei], and their subsequent promotions, Zheng Xiu all had vague ideas, each with its own characteristics. For a while, Zheng Xiu couldn't figure out what he was missing.
There is no need to pinch another macho man; there is no need to pinch another boy; there is no need to pinch another sword master.
"Let's talk later."
In the end, Zheng Xiu decided to put the blank incarnation on hold until he thought about it again, and upgrade the one he currently has first.
The first is "Macho Man Jung Sun".
"Well……"
Zheng Xiu immediately turned to the next person.
In a short period of time, Zheng Xiu didn't want to be a painter anymore.
Because in Gongsun Mo's cannibal paintings, he sat on the ground floor of the palace without eating or drinking for a full hundred years.
Tired of it.
He even felt a little nauseous when he saw the paintings.
You have to be isolated for a while.
The second one is "Sword Master Zheng Baimei".
There is no doubt that the old man will take the route of the sword master.
When creating the incarnation of "Sword Master Zheng Baimei", Zheng Xiu upgraded his talent "No businessman, no treacherous", and learned "at any cost", which made [Knowledge] exceptionally upgraded to [Comprehension]. Now Zheng Baimei's comprehension is "One hears a thousand things"
"Enlightenment", it is very suitable to take the path of the Sword Master.
One sword opens the sky.
There is no suspense.
Finally, there is "Evil Boy Zheng E".
Zheng Xiu looked at the young man with lotus blossoms between his brows.
If Zheng Shan is "power", the painter who can fight best; Zheng Baimei is "wisdom", the sword master who can understand best; then what route will the villain take?
"Exception?"
Instead of resorting to "the end justifies the means", can we use other methods to achieve "exception"?
Nowadays, in addition to the "natural power" of the evil boy, the most outstanding one among the three incarnations is his "physical constitution".
[Physique] Thirty-six (righteousness is stored in the body, evil cannot be affected, and a hundred poisons are not invaded)
"How about trying to practice this?"
Zheng Xiu thought for most of the night and initially decided on the subsequent promotion routes for the three incarnations.
Each has its own strengths.
Before leaving the mental prison, Zheng Xiu accidentally discovered that his [Foreign Language] skill had been upgraded.
[Foreign Language (with ease)] You have been with non-human creatures day and night, and have been inseparable from them. Over time, you can now occasionally understand their gibberish.
There have been subtle changes in the description of talents. From "hearing" to "understanding", from "them" to "them".
It seems like not much has changed.
He could vaguely understand Xiaofengmiao's words.
Limited to two characters.
For example, complimentary words such as "handsome", "integrity", "dedication", "friendly", "rich" and so on.
The curse words were definitely misheard.
The orange cat from Chang An is so cute that he won’t curse.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Zheng Xiu saw Feng Bei sitting on the roof holding a kitten and watching the morning sun.
Zheng Xiu thought for a while and asked a brother who was working the night shift and was about to get off work on time to inform Ji Hongou about something.
This unknown brother is wearing a black hood, with a hidden sword hidden under his robe.
After hearing the prince's request, the assassin murmured in his heart.
He thought to himself what the prince wanted so much poison. He really wanted to poison and kill people. Wouldn't it be faster, safer and more painless to just let Ji Hongou sprinkle the powder on him?
But the Brotherhood has always done things this way. Even if the master's request is outrageous, they are willing to do it. After all, they can gain experience.
The assassin promised repeatedly, jumped up on the wall with a bang, fell back a few times and disappeared, and happily went to work overtime for the prince.
"Are you going to meet Gu Qiutang for a while?"
When Zheng Xiu ordered his men to prepare their horses and go out, Feng Bei walked forward with the little orange cat in his arms, pursed his lips and raised his hands: "I will go with you."
Zheng Xiu saw the worry in Feng Bei's eyes. She was worried that Gu Qiutang would get angry and hurt someone. Just when he was about to say it was okay, Zheng Xiu rolled his eyes and showed fear on his face: "That's just right. I'm afraid that guy won't tell me.
Wu De kills the king with a sword... I am so scared."
These deliberately shameless words were very loud, and suddenly whistles rose and fell all over Prince Chi's palace, implicitly praising the prince for his prudence.
Feng Bei was stunned and immediately couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.
"You have to teach me Zheng's secret whistle!"
Feng Bei listened to the unexplained whistles one after another, his cheeks bulged slightly, and he seemed very angry.
"Definitely next time!" Prince Zheng happily agreed.
The two went out side by side, and Zheng Xiu called Yin Qingqing.
Yin Qingqing was like a loyal little mare in the Red Prince's Mansion, arriving as soon as he was told. After a while, she came to Zheng Xiu and Feng Bei, bowed and said: "My servant Qingqing, I have met the Red Prince. May I ask what your orders are?
.”
Since he wanted to let the emperor know that he was doing practical things diligently, Zheng Xiu unceremoniously asked Yin Qingqing to be the coachman to take him and Fengbei to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Yin Qingqing looked at Shiba, but it was actually a ripe fruit.
My son, Zheng Xiu didn’t feel distressed at all when he woke up.
The people sent by the emperor are very interesting to train.
Chatting and laughing with Feng Bei all the way, towards dusk, Zheng Xiu arrived at a valley where birds were singing and flowers were fragrant.
Peaks gather on both sides, and the valley entrance is hidden. The huge rocks on both sides are like two-petal girl's lips. One side is covered with flowers, the grass is delicious, and the birds are jumping for joy. After getting off the carriage, the Red King ordered Qingqing to stick to the valley entrance, and the two of them entered, walking together. Chuji
It's so narrow that it can lead to people. After walking for dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear that there was another world in the valley.
The sound of water gurgling in the distance is like the waves lapping against the shore. The water in the valley is as green as jade, and a silver streak flows straight down from the top of the mountain, like a snow-white sharp knife piercing through the jade.
A simple hut stood on the shore. A bare-chested swordsman with long, disheveled hair and a long sword on his waist was not unsheathed. He stood in the waterfall and let the water hit him. He was like a human-shaped rock, unmoving under the wash of the water.
.
He has deep and shallow scars on his body.
The swordsman opened his eyes in the waterfall, but remained motionless and asked calmly: "You are here to kill me?"
Feng Bei looked at Zheng Xiu and took a step back, acting like a little daughter who let Zheng Xiu make the decision.
Zheng Xiu smiled and said: "Do you know that Ye Weiyang is now dead in name only?"
Gu Qiutang frowned slightly, but remained still and said, "So what?"
"I am looking for talented people to share the worries of the Holy One and solve the problems of the people in the world. The grudge between you and Fengbei girl Shuzhou is nothing. I will make the decision and cancel it. You only need to do as usual, in the new part
If you solve the mystery case, your monthly payment will be doubled."
When Gu Qiutang heard "add money", a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
Zheng Xiu laughed again: "Not enough?"
Gu Qiutang shook his head: "As expected of the richest Red King in the world."
Zheng Xiu heard the disdain for money in Gu Qiutang's words and was not angry. He asked curiously: "You don't like money. Why did you stay in Ye Weiyang and work for the night master?"
Gu Qiutang said: "Great justice."
"Is killing my Fengbei a rightful act of justice?"
Hearing this, Feng Bei's lips curled up slightly.
"Extraordinary people are the absurdity of the world."
"What Zhu said?"
"candle?"
"Night Lord."
"yes."
"He lied to you."
Gu Qiutang was silent for a moment and shook his head: "Now, Mr. Gu no longer cares about this matter. Mr. Gu has planned to cultivate here quietly until he gets a glimpse of the peak of martial arts."
"Ha," Zheng Xiu sneered: "Martial arts. Did you know that what is hidden in the cannibal paintings is the martial arts world two hundred years ago? The martial arts world is dead."
Gu Qiutang shook his head and said calmly: "One person and one sword is the martial arts world."
Zheng Xiu turned around and asked Feng Bei: "Has he always been so literary?"
"Wen Qing?" Feng Bei wondered.
"It's the kind that is sad for spring and autumn, sentimental, and silly."
Feng Bei smiled: "Yes."
Gu Qiutang remained motionless, holding the long knife tightly and showing no expression.
Red King stepped forward, relaxed his shoulders and rubbed his fists.
Feng Bei was surprised: "You..."
"Don't worry." After taking a few steps, the Red King turned back and asked with a smile: "By the way, how far has the living dead Situ Yong's medical skills reached?"
Feng Bei thought for a moment and answered truthfully: "I don't talk about resurrecting the dead, but if there is still one breath left, he will not die."
Gu Qiutang heard it now. Looking at the elegant and imposing "weak prince" who came forward, he smiled instead of getting angry: "You?"
"I."
Zheng Xiu walked to the hut: "You are going the wrong way."
Gu Qiutang was silent for a moment, still not moving, and said concisely: "What do you mean?"
"Don't use the knife."
Gu Qiutang's pupils shrank: "Absurd!"
"It's all about looking and seeing but it's useless." Zheng Xiu persuaded earnestly: "That's not how the method works. How about a bet? If Xixian Si is beaten to death, Gu Qiutang will have to follow me."
"With you?" Gu Qiutang obviously didn't believe it. If Feng Bei took action, he would believe it.
Zheng Xiu walked into the pool step by step, saying as he walked: "This pool of water is like a cage trapping you and me. Neither you nor I can step out of the pool."
cage?
When he was wondering, Fu Dao watched the Red King step into the range of his "Fu Dao" technique. He lowered his body, assumed the "Fu Dao posture", and was about to swing the electric knife at the Red King.
"If you move, you will die."
"So I said you practiced wrong." The Red King laughed. In an instant, the muscles all over his body swelled like a puff of air, and knotted like a rock. Two meaty bumps suddenly bulged out from the shoulder bone on one side of his back, and then, BOOM
With a crash, two thick arms burst out of the body, and white bones grew out from under the skin.
Huh? Why only half of it?
Zheng Xiu incarnated as a "devil" for the first time, but only half of his body was transformed like a "bird in a prison". He was puzzled. Little did he know that Gu Qiutang was horrified in the waterfall. The Red King in front of him turned into a demon-like posture in the blink of an eye.
A thick arm nearly two meters long grew out from behind, like a demon god standing under the dusk and setting sun. But at the moment Zheng Xiu "moved", the magic technique of not using a sword was launched, and he appeared behind the Red King in a flash, facing the hard body.
Just raise your hand to the neck and stab it.
But what greeted him was not the hard and thick neck, but three big hands.
"From today on, Xia Xian Si is dead."
Zheng Xiu used several arms to push Gu Qiutang to the ground and hammered him randomly.
Outside the valley.
boom!
Yin Qingqing, who was obedient and guarding the valley entrance, only heard a loud bang. When he looked up, water rose into the sky, forming a torrential downpour.
Wow!
Yin Qingqing stared blankly at the exaggerated water column, letting her whole body get soaked.
After a while, the Red King walked out carrying a man covered in blood.
The man was motionless, like a corpse.
died?
Yin Qingqing looked at the "dead man" carried on the prince's shoulders, and was so shocked that his whole body trembled, and he was covered in white water.
Who did it?
At this time, Gu Qiutang took a weak breath.
"Let's go! Return!"
The Red King, who was carrying the motionless sword, laughed and said.
