The sound of the whip twitching continued in the air, and the beating of the cocoon became more and more frequent.
At this moment, the Four Gods Heavenly Flame Ruler in Jiang Beiran's hand had ignited golden flames, illuminating Jiang Beiran like a god.
When he recited the Mantra of All Living Beings for the ninth time, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but frown.
'Something's wrong.'
Jiang Beiran's original intention was to use the Mantra of All Living Beings to appease these flesh cocoons, and those who couldn't be appeased would be whipped with magical whips.
As a result, the more you recite this mantra for all living beings, the greater the reaction of the flesh cocoon, which is obviously counterproductive.
'Sure enough, it cannot be measured by common sense...'
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran took out the Guqin [Duyou] from the Qiankun Ring, sat down cross-legged and started playing.
The melodious sound of the piano spread throughout Xi Feng Village in an instant, bringing a touch of life to this dead village. The seven Xuansheng who were responsible for protecting the Dharma naturally heard the sound of the piano.
Rather than appreciating the music, they were more surprised that the sound of the piano contained some indescribable power.
It soothes their nervous hearts and even gradually calms them down.
For top masters like them, it is extremely difficult to influence their state of mind. Otherwise, it will be easy for strong people who are good at metaphysical knowledge to take advantage of the loopholes. Therefore, all of them are "cement-sealed." It will not happen at all.
Give others any chance to influence your mood.
Even if it's well-intentioned.
But Jiang Beiran just played a song, and he broke through this layer of defense so easily and reached deep into their hearts.
The seven Xuansheng who realized this couldn't help but look at each other with surprise on each other's expressions.
As Jiang Beiran devoted himself to his performance, the explosions in mid-air could not cover up his melody at all. Although the music itself was not exciting, it was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
"Dong dong...dong dong...dong...dong..."
Amidst the melody, the cocoon that was beating more and more intensely gradually calmed down and stopped beating, just like a child who heard a lullaby and gradually fell asleep.
'Very good, it really works.'
In Dahu's description, the people who turned into these flesh cocoons were none other than the cultivators captured by Yun Ruo.
After being forced to take poisonous insects, they experienced months of inhuman torture, and finally completely lost their human form, turning into ugly cocoons of flesh.
These flesh cocoons are like a collection of resentments, constantly inhaling spiritual energy, and then spitting out some unknown air.
And this ominous atmosphere is most likely the source of the miasma.
After discovering that the Spell of All Living Beings had no effect, Jiang Beiran came up with a bold guess in his mind, that is, these cultivators who had turned into flesh cocoons did not die, but continued to live in this extremely ugly form.
That's why the spell to save all living beings from resentful spirits has no effect on them, because they haven't died at all.
No wonder there is no other soul in this village except Dahu.
Since these flesh cocoons were people in another form, Jiang Beiran decisively comforted them in another way.
Whether they endure the inhuman torture or turn into flesh cocoons to accumulate resentment here, their hearts must be painful and twisted now. Only by purifying their hearts and making them believe that they can save them can they be saved.
Actively cooperate.
When it comes to purifying the soul, Xuanle is the best choice.
After using his mental power to sense that all the flesh cocoons in Xifeng Village had gradually subsided, Jiang Beiran was about to get up, but after thinking about it, he contacted Shi Fenglan in Fei Mansion and said: "Let the three sisters of the Yu family come out."
"OK."
After agreeing, Shi Fenglan immediately sent the three sisters of the Yu family out of Fei Mansion.
"Yeah!" X3
The three sisters screamed in unison as soon as they came out. In fact, not only did Xifeng Village look extremely strange, but the terrible ominous atmosphere in the miasma also made people shudder.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Beiran took out three pieces of protective jade and put them on their foreheads, and then said, "I need your help."
Hearing that their senior brother actually needed their help, the three sisters immediately replied solemnly: "Please do as you please, senior brother!"
"Play something soothing and don't have a moment's leisure until I say stop."
"yes!"
After hearing this, the three Yu sisters immediately took out their musical instruments, made eye contact and started playing.
Although in terms of skills, none of them can keep up with Jiang Beiran, the word talent was born to interpret the word "outrageous".
Even if their skills are inferior, their talents can be fully demonstrated in penetrating people's hearts.
Moreover, Jiang Beiran had already completed the most important step. The reason why he asked them to come out to help was to be on the safe side, so the difficulty was far less difficult than Jiang Beiran's soothing these cocoons just now.
After confirming that the music played by the three sisters of the Yu family was enough to keep the cocoons quiet, Jiang Beiran put away [Duyou], got up and walked towards the nearest cocoon.
Pressing his hand on the cocoon again and sensing it with his mental power, Jiang Beiran felt this time no longer just a pile of flesh and blood, but a trace of extremely weak spiritual consciousness.
‘Kill! Kill! Kill! I want you to die! All of you must die! Ah!!!’
After feeling Jiang Beiran's spiritual power, this consciousness suddenly went crazy. Although it was weak, he could feel that it was full of resentment.
Seeing this, Jiang Beiran sent a message to the three sisters of the Yu family: "Feel the cocoon of flesh in front of me with your heart, and soothe it with your music."
Although the three sisters of the Yu family didn't understand what the flesh cocoon was, since their senior brother had given the order, they would obey it.
After saying "yes", the three sisters of the Yu family began to try to use their metaphysical knowledge to perceive the fleshy cocoon in front of their senior brother.
But with just a slight touch, the terrifying resentment that seemed to choose someone to eat made the three sisters tremble all over. Fortunately, the consciousness in this flesh cocoon was already extremely weak, so although the resentment contained was extremely deep,
It won't hurt anyone.
Forcibly suppressing the fear in their hearts, the three sisters locked the cocoon with their metaphysical knowledge and began to soothe it with their own music.
I have to say that talent is a waste of time.
When the three sisters of the Yu family concentrated their metaphysical consciousness on the cocoon and began to soothe it with their own melody, the remaining metaphysical consciousness in the cocoon quickly calmed down.
The resentment that was about to overflow was like a fire poured with a basin of cold water, extinguished in an instant.
"Help me... please help me... I feel so uncomfortable, I'm in so much pain, please help me."
After the resentment disappeared, the consciousness in the cocoon made a cry for help like an instinct.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Beiran took out a golden talisman from the Qiankun Ring and pasted it on the cocoon. Then he took out a Danxia Sword and started chanting.
"Lingbao Tianzun, comfort your body."
"The five internal organs are mysterious, the blue dragon and the white tiger."
"There are many battles, Suzaku Xuanwu."
"Use thunder to make ghosts and demons become frightened, and spirits lose their form!"
After reciting, the golden light spell Jiang Beiran attached to the cocoon immediately burst out with bright light.
Using the Danxia Sword to suppress the madness of the flesh cocoon that wanted to break through the suppression, Jiang Beiran used his mental power to communicate with the weak consciousness in the flesh cocoon.
"I will save you, but you must also save yourself. Find a way to break out of this body and return to your original self."
Jiang Beiran's words soon took effect. His weak consciousness no longer just asked for help, but asked Jiang Beiran not to leave while trying his best to find his body.
"Boom!"
At this time, the flesh cocoon trembled violently, and a large amount of blood seeped out from it.
'Very good, it works.'
So Jiang Beiran took out six more golden light talismans and stuck them on the flesh cocoon. While suppressing the ominous aura of the flesh cocoon, it also continued to dissolve this layer of body.
After a while, the flesh cocoon changed from oozing blood to large pieces of flesh falling down.
"Yes, that's it, get back the feeling of your own body."
Seeing the surprisingly good effect, Jiang Beiran also began to use words to encourage the spiritual consciousness in the cocoon.
"boom!!!"
But just when Jiang Beiran was about to draw another talisman, a violent explosion suddenly sounded in his ears.
Although the sound of explosions had been heard since he entered the village, this was the first time that it was so close.
Raising his head, Jiang Beiran found that the defensive circle formed by the Xuansheng in mid-air was shrinking. Not only was the Gu cultivator's offensive becoming more and more fierce, but their number had also increased significantly.
‘This is a desperate effort.’
But Jiang Beiran knew that he could not rush. The consciousness in the flesh cocoon was still very fragile. If he purified the next flesh cocoon just for the sake of speed, he would probably fail here.
"Master Jiang, let us help too!"
Seeing the number of Gu cultivators increasing, Cao Jinghua shouted anxiously.
But as soon as he finished speaking, options popped up in front of Jiang Beiran's eyes.
[Option 1: Agree to let Cao Jinghua and others support the defense. Completion reward: Hunyuan Shentu (prefecture-level top grade)]
[Option 2: Let them continue to stay here. Completion reward: Random basic attribute point +1]
'Sure enough, there is still danger hiding in the dark?'
Jiang Beiran did have the idea of letting Gu Liangqian and others reinforce the defensive circle just now, but now that the option came out, Jiang Beiran immediately gave up the idea.
Choosing the second choice, Jiang Beiran shook his head and said: "No, this village is not as peaceful as it looks in your eyes."
[Optional mission completed, reward: Spirit +1]
After hearing this, Cao Jinghua couldn't help clenching his fists, but he still nodded vigorously, because he knew very well that the success of this operation depended entirely on Jiang Beiran.
"puff!"
At this time, the pieces of meat falling off the cocoon gradually became larger, rolling down like small pebbles to pieces of fist-sized pieces of meat falling down.
"Well done, you'll be free soon."
As Jiang Beiran said this, he took out the Golden Light Talisman of Two States and put it on the cocoon. At the same time, he took out the Tianwu Bao spiritual stove borrowed from Xue Yongqing from the Qiankun Ring.
The hand burner is the best magic weapon to calm the mind and spirit. Use the spiritual fire to light the wood, and the hand burner will immediately release bursts of reassuring fragrance.
But even though Jiang Beiran stepped up his response, the ominous aura emanating from the cocoon still made Jiang Beiran feel a little suffocated.
'How many evil things have these damn Gu insects done?'
After spitting, Jiang Beiran took out a dragon horn engraved with the Six Stars of the South Dipper from the Qiankun Ring and hung it on his chest.
This is also the top magic weapon borrowed by Jiang Beiran. It is made from the single horn on the head of the ninth-grade exotic beast dragon colt. It has powerful power to suppress all small things.
The three major magic weapons joined forces to suppress it, and the ominous aura emanating from the flesh cocoon was finally suppressed, which gave the cultivator in the flesh cocoon a chance to survive.
"Pap...pap..."
Larger pieces of meat began to roll off the cocoon, decomposing and evaporating, and the smelly blood had already flowed all over the floor.
"puff!"
Just as Jiang Beiran kept reciting Heaven's Order to Save the Suffering, a hand suddenly stretched out from the cocoon. When Jiang Beiran saw it, he immediately stretched out his hand to hold it.
"I've got you. If you use a little more force, you'll be free in no time."
The word "freedom" seemed to hit the heart of the cultivator in the flesh cocoon. The flesh cocoon, which had shrunk several times, began to shake crazily. Finally, there was only a "bang" sound, and it all shattered.
Jiang Beiran also took advantage of the situation and pulled out a man covered in blood.
Placing the bloody man on the ground, Jiang Beiran quickly took out a Guiqi Pill from the Qiankun Ring and stuffed it into his mouth, then put his hand on his pulse.
'Very good...although still weak, everything is normal.'
After heaving a sigh of relief, Jiang Beiran wiped away the blood on the man's face and said, "You're okay, take a good rest."
Then, without waiting for the "bloody man" to speak, Jiang Beiran walked towards the next flesh cocoon.
Now that you have the first success, the rest is to follow the same pattern.
As the "bloody men" emerged one after another, Gu Liangqian could feel that the strange aura in the village was getting thinner and thinner, and even the intensity of the miasma was getting lower.
This filled his eyes with hope.
'It can be done! It can definitely be done!'
But just when Jiang Beiran walked to a flesh cocoon, a black shadow suddenly broke through the defensive circle in mid-air and rushed straight towards Jiang Beiran.
The black shadow was so fast that it arrived in front of Jiang Beiran in the blink of an eye, but just when he stretched out his claws to tear Jiang Beiran apart, seven streams of light flashed in front of him at the same time.
"boom!!!"
In the violent collision, the black shadow was fought back by the seven Xuansheng.
Jiang Beiran looked up and saw that the black figure was like a dragon, with scales and standing committee members, and a pair of thick and long dragon horns on its head. It could be said that the whole body exuded the aura of a strong man.
"Sorry! I didn't stop him!"
In mid-air, Xun Yingrui's apology came down, because this black figure broke through his defense range and rushed in.
"It's good that he's not dead! He's left to us!" After Cao Jinghua said that, he rushed towards the dragon body Gu cultivator.
"Don't fight here! Force him out of the village and don't hurt these cocoons!"
Hearing Jiang Beiran's shout, Cao Jinghua replied "I know" and kicked the dragon body Gu cultivator violently.
"boom!"
Cao Jinghua's blow was caught by the dragon body Gu cultivator with one claw. Just as he was about to fight back, hundreds of threads wrapped around his body at some point.
"Bind!"
Yan Xiaobo shouted, and the silk threads tied to the dragon body Gu cultivator instantly became tighter.
'What a strong defense.'
Yan Xiaobo originally wanted to strangle the dragon-body Gu cultivator directly, but his Immortal Linsi was unable to do anything with the scales on his body.
"Take him out first!"
Yan Xiaobo shouted, and a ball of white light condensed in his hand.
