After thousands of years of torture, who knows how much resentment and unwillingness the Pipa girl in the painting has accumulated? What kind of sin did her original body commit to deserve such punishment?
Even if one is a golden immortal in heaven, after going through thousands of times in this mortal world and reincarnation thousands of times, the probability of regaining the past is very small.
Yes, especially when it is such a tragic disaster that has been carefully designed.
After reading the contents of the scroll, Jiang Li had already guessed the approximate origin of the Mingshan Grandma in front of him.
The other party is indeed related to the Pipa Girl in the scroll, but she is not a reincarnation.
Even a powerful being like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who wanted to reincarnate across the Dharma Ending Age, would not be able to leave behind any memory.
Naturally, the Pipa girl, who had suffered thousands of calamities, did not have that ability.
She crossed over a long period of time, and what was left behind was nothing but an ugly red mark that covered half of her face.
After many contacts, Jiang Li has also figured out that the true form of the Mingshan Grandma is not actually a grandma, but a ghost who was obviously a male in his lifetime.
It was because of the influence of the mark on her face that she became the Mingshan Grandma who ruled Beiyin Mountain for five hundred years and liked to sing operas and listen to music every day.
Instead, it is dominated by resentment and partial memories from ancient times.
It seems that the red mark was not born naturally, but was created by a male ghost. By chance, he encountered some ancient relics, and was contaminated by the mark. The red mark is the source of his power, allowing him to grow from an unknown ghost, whose name even the local spirits could not remember, to a powerful being who could command the eight demon kings in a very short time.
But that mark itself is also the most vicious curse.
Not long ago, his Ghost Lantern Cold Flame had burned that mark twice. So Jiang Li could roughly feel that the most common thing in that mark was the resentment that was similar to the red fog floating above the Wrongful Death City.
The difference is that the resentment is much more intense and shocking.
The resentment and memories from ancient times brought him strength but also deprived him of his self.
This is almost no different from being possessed by another's body.
Therefore, whenever the "Grandma" of Mingshan regained a little sanity, she would definitely find a way to try to remove the red mark.
But since his power originally came from that mark, it was almost impossible for him to get rid of the mark by his own strength.
That's why the other party was so eager after discovering the effect of the ghost lantern cold flame.
When I saw Doll Street before, it was understandable that the irrational behavior of rushing over there despite being disturbed by resentment was understandable.
Because the dominant position is a mass of resentment, where can there be a rational argument? Fortunately, what remains is only resentment.
If the other party was really the reincarnation of some powerful figure, Jiang Li guaranteed that he would turn around and leave.
Looking at the red mark on his face that was showing signs of expanding, Jiang Li thought for a moment. Instead of asking the ghost officers above and below to stop, he gave orders one after another, asking the eighteen ghost officers to take out more than a dozen instruments of torture from the underworld.
Let them continue to torture the Pipa girl.
Such an effect might be very general and might not really hurt Grandma Mingshan.
Because all the ghost messengers present were most likely transformed by the subordinates of the Mingshan Grandma. This can only be used as a stage, and it is also the magic weapon of the famous grandma.
If they were not mentally retarded, they would not really attack their own master. Even if they really did, with their own strength, it would be difficult to hurt the grandmother.
Doing this can delay time.
Now it seems that because of his status, Jiang has the upper hand and can order the other party to be tortured at will.
But in reality, he is the one who is truly dangerous.
By chance, Jiang Li got the identity of the judge in this play, but the other party did not force him to stop immediately, but continued to act as if nothing had happened.
This shows that this play itself has its own meaning. If this play reaches its end, something bad may happen to him.
That's why Jiang Li wants to delay time.
In any opera, there is always a plot that starts off with depression and ends with rise and fall, with twists and turns.
What Jiang Li needs to do now is to prolong the process of "torture" as much as possible.
Then find a way to defeat Mingshan Grandma completely at the end of this scene.
. . . .
In the outside world, Pei Zhongjian, who had recovered from his injuries and rushed back from Fengdu City, was with Qiu Shui. Following Jiang Li's information, they immediately rushed to a street that looked a bit deserted.
However, due to the barrier of the stage magic space, it was not easy for them to accurately locate Jiang Li's specific position.
We can only lock onto a block nearby.
"My dear Qiushui, the magic weapon space that trapped Alliance Leader Jiang was a very clever trick. There is no way to see the clues directly from above."
"It's too inefficient to search door to door like this."
Pei Zhong and Qiu Shui circled in the air for several times, using their own methods to sweep across rows of ordinary houses.
But I couldn't find any difference in it.
Jiang Li was trapped, and Pei Zhongjian was much more anxious than Qiu Shui who knew Jiang Li's methods.
In fact, this former sword master of Mount Shu, together with the Nine-Year Immortal, had advised Jiang Li many times.
I hope he can resurrect as soon as possible and not stay in this dangerous place for too long.
As elders, they naturally prefer stability, especially with the qualifications that Jiang Li has shown now.
Even if he stayed at home in seclusion, he could still reach the pinnacle of the Eastern Region's cultivation world. It would just take a few hundred more years at most.
For powerful cultivators, a few hundred years is not a long time at all. They naturally wanted Jiang Li to find a place to practice in peace.
Moreover, although Jiang Li told them some of the things about Beiyin Mountain, he expressed his confidence in the resurrection.
But Pei Zhong also knew that no matter what means were used, resurrection would be extremely difficult.
If you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted.
As old guys from the previous era in Dachongshan, what they least want to see is the death of Jiang Li's hope.
Fearing that the night would be long and full of dreams, he kept hoping that Jiang Li would be resurrected soon.
However, since becoming the leader, Alliance Leader Jiang has always been very opinionated and has never been a puppet for a single day.
He had his own plans in this city, which was why he had been putting it off until now.
But I didn't expect that we would encounter danger again just two months later.
Pei Zhongjian has made up his mind that after this time, he will drag Jiang Li away from this city no matter what.
Fengdu City is full of talents and is prosperous. Isn't it comfortable to live here? Why do you have to stay in this place where no one lives?
"Captain Pei Zhongjian, please be patient. With the city lord's strength, nothing will happen so easily."
"Over there, our helpers are coming."
Looking in the direction of the prison, there was smoke and dust rising in the street not far away, and a dense group of footsteps were approaching quickly.
Upon closer inspection, they saw a group of ordinary residents of the City of the Dead, with their eyes closed, feet floating, and sleepwalking, rushing towards this side.
"Are these our helpers?"
It's no wonder that Pei Zhongjian didn't believe it. Although the mortals in the City of the Dead could be falsely resurrected again and again, they would be more fearless and daring than ordinary mortals.
Qiushui's face was calm and he showed no sign of anxiety.
During this period of time in the City of the Dead, he had actually been converting and secretly sending out some monks who were willing to be directly loyal to Jiang Li.
Every successful conversion would bring him considerable benefits. Now his strength has grown significantly compared to two months ago.
"The space where the city lord is trapped has special rules. Even mortals can do some things."
Jiang Li currently has five clones in his dreams, and each clone can split into three thousand sub-bodies.
This means that the number of mortals that Jiang Li can temporarily control is 15,000.
Fifteen thousand mortals, following Jiang Li's orders, poured into the nearby streets and alleys.
His own sense of where he was was naturally more accurate. The stage that trapped him was most likely hidden in the houses on these three streets.
Every time the sleepwalking mortals push open the door and step into the room, they will shout "Go away" or "It's unfair".

Jiang Li is using this simplest method to find the location of the stage.
Sure enough, not long after, one of his dream sub-bodies disappeared in the outside world.
At the door of the Judge's Hall, there appeared a ghost who looked a little confused.
Found it! Jiang Li was delighted, and then his mind moved slightly. Two masked figures with tiny cracks on their bodies flashed in front of the house.
The two masked men were the two Sacred Heart Elders who were captured by Jiang Li when he took advantage of their weakness during the false resurrection in the secret room of the Blood King's Palace.
Because they were almost drained of energy by the Broken Wing Spear, the two old guys were only left with the Earthly Immortal level, but they were already extremely weak.
It is much easier to deal with than the Stone Demon King.
They had been captured by Jiang Li's dreams long before, and after they recovered some strength, they became Jiang Li's dream puppets.
It is obvious that if he dies once, he can be restored to his full strength by resurrecting.
But Jiang Li didn't dare to let them revive and reset their status, so he could only let them temporarily maintain this state of barely maintaining the level of Earth Immortal.
Controlled by two dream spiders, after stepping into that unremarkable courtyard, they also turned into ghost messengers and appeared at the door of the Judge's Hall.
At this time in the Judge's Hall, the seemingly inhumane beating was still going on.
Grandma Mingshan's crying was obviously fake, and she didn't stop at all, but she still looked full of energy.
It seems that Mingshan Grandma, who has the home advantage, is suffering a setback.
But in fact, this grandma is not worried about her situation at all. Instead, she seems to enjoy it.
Because except for Jiang Li who was forcibly dragged in, all the others present were played by her subordinates.
Even if Jiang Li somehow got the identity of the judge in this play.
His orders would only be carried out in a perfunctory manner.
The punishment and beating just now looked miserable, but it was actually just for show.
Instead, the young monk sitting on the stage was the one who actually fell into the spider web.
You may still be complacent now, but as long as this play is finished, the other party will be completely bound to the stage and will never be able to escape from it forever.
Well... Unless you use the panel to remove the negative status, you will never be able to escape from it.
At that time, he can be used to get close to the monk! The monk who preached the sutras, the Mingshan Grandma was just hiding in the distance, and was illuminated by a small part of the Buddha's light, which had a better effect than that white flame.
If this can help him to save himself, then the troubles that have plagued him for thousands of years may really be solved one day.
But at this moment, Jiang Li on top spoke again, interrupting the two ghost officials who were whipping below.
"You two stop and hand over the Water, Fire, Wind and Thunder Sticks to them!"
The two ghost officials who were "madly" beating Grandma Mingshan were stunned and looked at the two new ghost officials in surprise.
Who are these two extra guys? Haven’t they always been 18 ghost messengers?
They hesitated a little, but in this scenario, the rule was that they could not disobey the judge's orders, so they had no choice but to hand over the sticks in their hands.
But when the ghost messengers transformed by the two Holy Heart Elders took action, the two sticks, one black and one red, immediately gave off a different feeling.
They raised the wind, thunder, water and fire sticks high up, and then dropped them at the same time, hitting the back of the Mingshan Grandma together.
Suddenly, two blood flowers exploded on her back.
Grandma Mingshan was hit and slid forward for more than ten feet, and then she hit the steps under the judge's table and stopped.
The two eyeballs were squeezed out due to the high pressure inside the body, and they were swinging on the face.
Even though the two elders of the Holy Heart were in a weak state, they were still earthly immortals. When the "ghost messengers" received the order from the judge, they could use their own strength to attack! If she wanted to take the attack of two earthly immortals without exerting her strength to actively defend, even the Grandma of Mingshan would not be able to do it without getting hurt.
"you!"
Grandma Mingshan put her eyeball back to its original place, turned around and glared at the two guys who actually took action.
Obviously, even Grandma Mingshan did not expect that Jiang Li would actually find two helpers.
How did he get the message across while he was on the stage?
But before she could say anything more, the second-oldest ghost of the Sacred Heart came forward again and directly buckled two shackles on the other's ankles.
He was pulled back in the most violent way and tied directly to the knife bed that had appeared before.
Then the wind, thunder, water and fire sticks smashed down alternately, causing the opponent's skin to be torn, flesh torn and bones to broken. Under the huge force from above, the sharp knife from below also pierced deeply into the body, crushing the internal organs.
"You! You're looking for death!"
At this time, how could Grandma Mingshan not know that Jiang Li had seen through her trap.
In this case, continuing to get beaten would be of no use, so he immediately stopped planning to continue acting.
Although this stage magic weapon has special effects, as the owner, the restrictions she faces in the play are still far less than Jiang Li.
Even if it is terminated forcibly, there will only be some backlash.
It's much better than being beaten in turns by two earthly immortal-level ghost officials.
A power belonging to the Grandma of Mingshan filled the Pipa Girl.
When the Water, Fire, Wind and Thunder Stick landed on her back again, it broke into two pieces this time. The two ghost messengers were also blown away.
The originally weak and powerless Pipa Girl is now transforming into the terrifying Lady of Mingshan.
Because a character forcibly left, the scene in the surrounding Judge's Hall immediately became unstable.
But just when she was about to flip the table and grab Jiang Li directly, a word from the chief judge made her stop abruptly.
"Pipa girl, do you want to see your child?"
