Chapter 375 Deterring the Demons and arresting the Ghosts
The next few days were still boring and boring.
The business of the bookstore was bleak as usual. There were no customers for almost a week.
Every day I open the door, I am losing money on water, electricity and food.
Fortunately, Lingpingan thought clearly.
For him, whether this bookstore is losing money or making money, it is a way of life.
So, he has no pressure.
I even feel that this kind of life seems pretty good.
Just code words, read the news, eat and drink every day, and that’s it.
pity……
This kind of life is destined not to last long.
At noon that day, Lingpingan was sitting at the counter, planning to take a rest.
The phone rang.
Picked it up and looked at it, 404100, a text message from the Federation Empire Meritorious Children Committee.
To be precise, it should be an invitation letter.
"Young Master Ling is safe and respectful to read: In the month of Mengdong, the virtues are in the water, the weather rises, and the earth's atmosphere drops. Therefore, the emperor has been drinking steam since ancient times to reward the meritorious officials and care for the orphans...Young Master, the official of the country and the pillar of the country.
...I sincerely invite you to condescend to visit the imperial capital on the moon of Mengdong and the day of Guimao to meet the heroes of the world. I am so thankful that you will not be outcast!
Right: In front of the Emperor, the Committee of Meritorious Children of the Eagle Dog!"
Lingpingan looked at it and stuck out his tongue: "There is no way to escape after all!"
The electronic invitation letter has arrived, and the paper invitation letter is not far away.
"Guimao?" He checked the calendar and found that it was the fourteenth of next month.
And now it's the 20th.
In other words, 24 days left?
He scratched his head and felt a little dizzy.
He really didn't want to go, but he was afraid that if he didn't go, he would be blacklisted.
After all, you are soft-spoken? You are soft-handed.
He doesn't want to get into trouble - everyone knows that an institution under the royal family is the most important thing.
Whoever doesn't give them face, they won't give face to!
"Ah, ah..." Lingpingan said, "It would be great if I knew how to clone myself..."
"Going to a banquet alone? Be a tool..."
"One is coding at home..."
"There is another one playing games upstairs..."
pity……
He shook his head? He couldn't.
Raise your head and look at the computer screen.
On the screen? On the webpage, his new book has been on the market for three days.
What do you say about the results?
Okay!
There were 321 collections before the push? Now there are almost 700.
Among the same kind of products in the same batch? Just barely, considered average.
If this continues, will I earn several thousand yuan in royalties? It’s still possible.
He leaned gently on the back of his chair, took the mouse, and looked at the numbers of the manuscript.
"Eighty thousand words!" He nodded: "It's enough for me to wander for a while!"
It has been a long time since he had a happy battle in the canyon.
The few times that happened? It was just a few double queues with Hu Nuonuo in the middle of the night.
Personally, he actually prefers solo queue.
E-sports.
If I win, am I awesome? If I lose, I blame my teammates.
If acquaintances are playing in a double queue or even multiple queues, is it okay if they win? If they lose, how can they take the blame?
Then I picked up my cell phone and headed into the canyon.
This is also his most common way to deal with problems - pretend it doesn't exist, and then think about it when the problem comes.
Anyway...
all will be good!
…………………………………………
Griffin V Forge World.
The melted ice water has formed the prototype of an ocean on the surface.
Specially designed aircraft hovering over the ocean, spraying salt particles.
The wise men of the Mechanicum evaporated the oceans of this planet thousands of years ago.
But now, they're bringing the ocean back.
Moreover, the formation of oceans is accelerating.
It’s just that marine life is a little hard to find!
The closest ecological planet to the forge world of Griffin V is several light-years away.
A regular voyage would take decades to make a round trip.
And subspace travel?
It’s not impossible!
The key lies in the issue of navigation.
Since losing contact with the Pseudo-Emperor's empire, the world of Griffin 5 has not been able to travel through subspace for a long time.
The main thing is navigation.
Entering subspace hastily without a pilot is equivalent to giving food to the evil god of subspace.
but……
"It doesn't matter!" The devout Skitarii pilot looked at the rippling blue ocean below him: "We will soon have a complete ecology!"
"When the time comes, the almighty spirit of all opportunities will surely send blessings!"
"I can't wait to see that moment!"
He raised his head and looked above the cockpit, above the gradually forming atmosphere, at the starport hanging high in the orbit of the planet.
There, a brand new battleship is being assembled.
This is a miracle of the Mechanicus!
It is also a miracle of the Spirit of All Opportunities!
In less than twenty days, a super interstellar battleship completed the miracle from construction to assembly!
Just looking at that magnificent steel marvel.
This pilot gave birth to piety and worship from the bottom of his heart.
"Flesh and blood are weak, but steel is eternal...Amen!" After praying, the sprayer in his posture had already crossed the ocean and arrived at a landing site on the ground.
On the airport made of steel, there are countless mechas parked.
But the most eye-catching thing is the figures walking in formation through the airport.
They look like ordinary Mechanicus followers.
Wearing a gray cloak and walking barefoot at the airport.
But everyone knows that these people are warriors blessed by the Spirit of All Machines, the first batch of Terminators to complete the transformation!
A true believer who abandons this weak flesh and blood and embraces steel and machinery.
Only the most devout believers, those who have unreserved faith in the greatness of the Spirit of All Machines, will have a chance to be transformed!
Look at these darlings of the all-powerful spirit.
A warrior who combines machinery and steel.
The pilot lowered his head gently: "I must continue to work hard... and strive to qualify in the next selection..."
"For the spirit of all opportunities..."
Almunia stood in front of the steel window and watched the transformed Terminator warriors walking across the road in front of him.
The transformation of the first batch of Terminators came at a huge cost.
Out of one hundred volunteers, only thirty succeeded.
Among the remaining seventy people, more than fifty people failed directly and turned into waste mixed with liquid metal.
In addition, there are more than a dozen people who are in an extremely strange state.
Do you want to say it was successful?
But they don't actually fuse liquid metal.
Do you want to say it failed?
It doesn't seem possible because they are still alive.
Although he has been in a coma.
But breathing, heartbeat and brain waves are always there.
Thinking of this, Almunia could only pray for these people in his heart: "May the great spirit of all opportunities protect us!"
Thinking about this, he pressed a button.
The metal cockpit where he was standing ignited.
Under the action of the fusion thruster, the cockpit quickly breaks away from the gravity of the earth and rises to orbital altitude at an extremely fast speed.
In just a few seconds, he appeared in orbit above the forge world.
Starport then stretched out two mechanical arms toward his cockpit and slowly pulled him there.
A few minutes later, Almunia stood on the command and control tower of the star port.
He overlooked the great battleship that was being installed in the star port.
He felt extremely excited.
"What a great warship the great Om Messiah...has given us?"
This battleship is about to be launched and will be named the "Dosteam Rivet Gang".
It is the creation of a miracle.
Since the start of construction, all gears and machinery have entered an unprecedented state of enthusiasm.
Efficiency is increased by more than one thousand percent.
During the installation, the transportation capacity of the brainservants increased hundreds of times.
It can be said that every piece of armor and every part has been blessed by the spirit of all opportunities.
This is a pious battleship.
Also a loyal battleship!
It is also a battleship of faith!
"The Spirit of All Machines asked us to cast it, and it was definitely not without purpose!" Almunia said to the mechanical priests behind him: "I have a hunch..."
"It will become the sharp blade that tears the false emperor apart!"
The mechanical bishop raised his head and looked at the starry sky.
Deep in the vast starry sky, the shadow of Terra seemed to be looming, calling to him.
The corrupt rule of the false emperor must be overthrown!
because……
His rule blasphemed the spirit of all opportunity!
………………………………
Xiaoman quietly poked his head out from the underground exit to spy on the monster in Qingshan Town.
There have been sixteen sunsets.
The monster is still entrenched in the ruins of Qingshan Town.
Today, it is still the same.
The figure of the monster is still sitting cross-legged in the broken giant cocoon, breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and is practicing.
Xiaoman watched and slowly retracted his head to the ground.
Then, she turned her head and looked at the demon suppressed by the talisman she wrote with soul fire.
She walked over slowly.
"There's only one left!"
"Kill him and if you can't break through the golden elixir..."
"I just have to think about whether I need to change my approach!"
Speaking of which, it is also ironic.
Now, Xiaoman and the monster in Qingshan Town have reached a certain symbiotic relationship.
That monster is entrenched in Qingshan Town, and for some reason, the demons hate it extremely.
Attacked again and again.
The attacks are continuous!
Until one day, Xiaoman caught an injured demon who was knocked into an underground shelter during the fight.
In front of the soul fire, the already severely injured demon was swallowed directly.
This also made Xiaoman's cultivation level increase dramatically!
Breakthrough directly from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building.
It also allowed the monster in Qingshan Town to discover Xiaoman.
After it learned about Xiaoman's ability, it began to throw some demons into the underground shelter.
Beaten to death...
The crippled one...
Anyone who comes from a small barbarian group will not be rejected and will be accepted with a smile.
This brought the relationship between the two parties closer.
Each side acquiesces to the other's existence.
Xiaoman needs it to act as a thug so that he can devour the soul of the demon and improve his cultivation.
And it also needs Xiaoman's soul fire to destroy the demons, lest it be besieged and die by the demons before it truly grows up.
But Xiaoman knew that this relationship would not last long.
Once she breaks through to the golden elixir, or the opponent's cultivation breaks through the bottleneck, and there is no longer any need, the two parties may immediately break up.
Thinking of this, Xiaoman raised the sword in his hand.
The soul fire ignited little by little, and she stabbed the sword into the chest of the demon.
The soul fire is burning.
This demon, which had already been suppressed by the soul fire, turned into a pile of charcoal in the flames.
The soul fire that devoured the opponent flew back to Xiaoman's forehead bit by bit from the sword blade, and penetrated into her eyes.
Xiaoman closed his eyes and started digestion.
Xuanjun's incantation rang in his ears.
After a long time, Xiaoman opened his eyes, slightly disappointed.
This time, the sword elixir still failed to condense.
but……
She has gained something new.
She slowly opened her hand, and gently swung out some soul fire from the long sword in her hand.
"One scorching fire can burn all things. How can fire exist when things perish? One breath of Tao can destroy all things. How can Tao exist when things perish?" Xiao Man chanted the mantra softly.
"Hurry as the law dictates!"
"In the name of Lord Xuan, I call you to wait for orders!"
A talisman appeared in the inscription of the soul fire.
For a moment, the entire cave seemed to be filled with ghosts crying and wolves howling, and a sinister wind blowing.
Countless dead souls appeared from all directions.
They surrounded Xiaoman and made terrifying and terrifying screams.
"Get up!" Xiaoman said gently.
The talismans transformed by the soul fire hit the air.
The temperature in the entire cave immediately plummeted.
The dead souls screamed in fear.
On the floor of the cave, there was mud, stench and dirty mud!
The talismans dispersed, and bits of soul fire fell into the mud, making two upside-down and twisted yin-yang fish appear in the mud.
These two yin and yang fish were rotten, exuding a foul odor, and even had maggots crawling out of their shadows.
They chase each other, their mouths full of sharp teeth, trying to devour each other.
But always, they can't touch each other.
This made their resentment even greater.
And four bony claws stretched out from the mud.
A pair of deformed and terrifying thin wings spread out, and the huge wings immediately covered the entire cave.
That one looked a bit like a crow and a bit like a mole, but its mouth full of twisted and sharp teeth was open, and a pair of cloudy eyeballs looked at Xiaoman.
It seems a bit unimaginable.
but……
After feeling it for a long time, it still lowered its body.
Like a tamed animal.
"Come as ordered..."
"The ghost's broken wings salute you... Miss!"
Xuanjun's incantation will not be wrong.
It is crawling.
Although, the Byakis have been serving the great King in Yellow for countless years.
but……
Sometimes, the greater Xuanjun will use command spells to arrest them from the starry sky.
Under the devil's trap, every Byakki must respond as long as it senses the call!
and……
Under this command spell, their forms will also change.
From a starry sky race to a planetary creature.
Of course, they will also be compensated.
This compensation is enough to make all Bayaki flock to it.
Because, in the legend, the most powerful king of Bayaki was able to grow up and finally achieve his former glory by responding to the demons and monsters.
Be a dog for the master...
How many people ask for it but don’t get it!
Even though the current human being seems to have nothing to do with the incarnation of the Lord.
But since she can use Xuanjun's demon-deterring and ghost-detaining instrument.
Then she must be related to Xuanjun!
Working as a dog for the maid who is the incarnation of the Lord...
It is also an extremely honorable thing!
"It's really possible!" Xiaoman was shocked.
She originally thought that her world was in a closed outer space.
Xuanjun's spell may not be effective.
Unexpectedly, it was successful!
Deterring demons and arresting ghosts, Lu really captured a heavenly ghost for her to drive.
Closing his eyes, Xiaoman immediately understood the purpose of this ghost.
It makes an excellent mount.
Come and go without a trace.
And it’s extremely fast!
certainly……
In contrast, combat effectiveness, in Xuanjun's evaluation, is only 5.
It’s roughly equivalent to the middle stage of foundation building!
But that's enough!
Just right...
Xiaoman plans to leave here!
The monster's breakthrough is not far away.
If you don't leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave.
So, Xiaoman shouted softly: "In the name of Lord Xuan, take me away from this place!"
"No!" Tian Gui immediately crawled on his knees and asked Xiaoman to sit on it.
It immediately climbed up to the exit of the cave, flapped its wings lightly, and flew high into the sky without a trace.
I have to say that the ghost has to be hidden, it is really very powerful!
The monster in Qingshan Town had no time to react, and Xiaoman had already disappeared into the distance.
