"I thought you were such a great person, but it seems that you will also die under the long skirt. In front of beauty, men can't resist the temptation."
This painting was the secret method that Wang Jinlong used to keep Xia Xiao. Although the people of Yunguo were different from the practitioners on the surface of the Great Wilderness, their vitality did not necessarily form trees, but also mountains, seas, and rivers. They did not sign contracts with wild beasts, and did not restrict themselves or use them. But their strength was still very strong, just like Wang Jinlong, who had injected an unknown amount of vitality into this painting, and now Xia Xiao was bewildered. He was very satisfied and continued to observe while sitting at the table, but his plan gradually showed signs of failure, becoming more and more obvious.
There was nothing special in the side hall, only a painting on the wall. Xia Xiao stood under the painting, staring at it, not because he was attracted by the person in it, but because the aura of life outside it seemed to be condensed by countless vital energies inside, so as to attract the vital energy in the opposite direction. Xia Xiao's vital energy had a tendency to move, but there was more than one power in his body, so he suppressed his excitement and just watched silently.
There are many folk legends about paintings, and Xia Xiao has heard quite a few of them. Either there are evil spirits hidden in them, or fairies from heaven temporarily live there for some reason. The former is because of lust, seducing people to kill, and the latter is because of the purity of human heart, violating the rules of heaven and voluntarily marrying, not asking for anything, representing happiness, creating a good story passed down from generation to generation.
After hearing so many of these legends, Xia Xiao naturally developed a yearning for it, but she didn't want to have another wife. One Azhu was enough, who could bear another one? A spiritual weapon would be nice. But he was obviously overthinking it. This painting couldn't suck people in and then seal them with just one scroll.
Xia Xiao firmly believed that she was the person Wang Shixing mentioned. She looked to be in her twenties and had the purest blood of Yun Country. Her strength would not be bad at all. So why didn't she leave? If he was born with this fate, he would have run away long ago. Anyway, he was born without a father or a mother, and no one could stop him.
Inadvertently, Xia Xiao shook his head secretly, feeling sad. The Yun Country had been closed for tens of thousands of years, and the outside world thought they were self-sufficient, but they didn't expect that this kind of thing would be passed down from generation to generation. What's more terrifying is that the Yun people don't seem to think there is anything wrong. This habit makes them seem to have degenerated into animals, and everything is just a low-level instinct.
There are many kinds of ants in the world. Worker ants work hard all their lives, either on the road or carrying things that are many times heavier than themselves. Male ants are responsible for mating and die after mating. The queen ant is in charge of the entire ant colony and will even kill the baby ants that are about to be born in her body.
The Yun Kingdom is now in that state. Some people work hard all their lives to provide material support to those above them, while those above them provide spiritual support to those below them, and they repeatedly carry out meaningless explorations.
If an organization or hundreds or thousands of people were to carry out such activities, it would be a belief, a respectable academic study. But this whole country creating a god is absurd and violates the most basic freedom of being a human being. Xia Xiao couldn't understand the meaning of living like this, because it was too exaggerated. I don't know why they have such a strong yearning for God. Isn't it good to be a human being?
Or, the people of Yun are committed to creating a god, sending him to the upper world, and then gaining power through him to rule the Great Wilderness. Xia Xiao was born with little ambition. He just wanted to become stronger and was not interested in ruling and dominating. Many times, he practiced hard just for freedom. In his opinion, freedom is not unrestrained. There are rules in the academy, and innocent people cannot be killed indiscriminately in Daxia. But strength can give him some privileges, such as killing some bastards and people who look unhappy, and no one dares to hold him accountable.
Freedom is always relative. Xia Xiao wants to live freely. This is what he pursues. Even if there is a threat from Yu Shangyan now, he just wants to resolve it and return to normal. The more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for the people of Yun. At the same time, a light flashed in his eyes and he came up with a trick.
Yun Country is now like a long line of neatly arranged ants. If one ant falls behind, the rest of the ants will be in chaos. This woman is definitely not just an ordinary ant. If she is taken out of Yun Country, the ant nest will be in chaos. Although Wang Jinlong has great power, he is not the queen ant after all.
When Xia Xiao thought of the frustrated expressions of those rude old guys, he found it funny and immediately sat back in his chair, waiting for her to come out. He had to do something weird, otherwise it would be a shame to come all the way to Yun Country.
Xia Xiao acted naturally, and Wang Jinlong felt strange with his expectant and smug smile. Originally, the three of them wanted to use this painting to attract him. As long as they used the secret method to arouse his desire, he would not be able to escape. No matter how hard he tried, he would have improper thoughts about Wang Yaping because of this painting. That kind of thought was exactly what Wang Jinlong wanted.
Xia Xiao would die in regret after the pleasure, and the despair and wailing at that time would be the supreme symphony to welcome God. But at present, Xia Xiao was not attracted, but instead formed seals with both hands and practiced, which made Wang Jinlong feel humiliated, and he immediately called Wang Yinlong and Wang Shixing.
This situation was obviously something they didn't want to see. The three old men frowned, waiting for Xia Xiao to react. It would only be normal when his face turned red, but Xia Xiao just practiced in place, absorbing vitality at an exaggerated speed.
Xia Xiao hadn't practiced for a long time. In the more than half a month in Zhenxun, he hadn't received any vital energy at all. Now that he encountered vital energy, he was extremely excited and kept absorbing it without stopping.
"What's going on?"
Wang Shixing had been scolded by Xia Xiao before, and he was extremely unhappy. He couldn't bear to see him do well at all, and at this moment he was gritting his teeth. But even if he asked, Wang Jinlong and Wang Yinlong didn't know.
"That shouldn't be the case. There is a very powerful drug in the painting. As long as his vitality is drawn into it, it will be triggered."
The effect of the drug that enters the body along with the vital energy is very good, because the vital energy is more important to practitioners than blood. It spreads throughout the body, carrying the colorless and odorless drug to various places, causing a violent reaction. But Xia Xiao can't see anything unusual now, which is enough to prove that his vital energy has not been sucked in. This shouldn't be the case. The attraction on the painting is comparable to a whirlpool on the seabed, and the sailboat on it can't fly, so how could it not be pulled down?
The three bad old men were all in a bad mood because their plan failed. But they kept waiting until Xia Xiao started to raise his butt while holding the pillar. They were unwilling to admit that their secret skills were useless, but gradually found that it was true. Wang Jinlong and the other two were slapped in the face by Xia Xiao's behavior, leaving a very bright red mark.
It was dark, and there was only a dim light in the side hall. Xia Xiao was practicing under the dim light. This guy seemed to have never practiced in his eight lifetimes. He kept absorbing vital energy and constantly replenishing himself. Before that woman came, he had been practicing and calling out to Hei Huang, and even released demonic energy.
The evil spirits behind him became like demons and monsters, making the already dim side hall even darker. They stretched out their dry and slender hands in all directions, baring their fangs and claws as if they were summoning some demon. This action and aura made the three old men think badly, and Wang Shixing took action immediately. He began to strengthen the barrier and notified all the families to strengthen the barrier of Yun Country so that no one could get in.
But if this was enough, why would Xia Xiao go in and out of Yun Country twice? Wang Jinlong frowned and said hurriedly:
"Send Wang Yaping in."
Wang Yinlong knew the Great Elder’s arrangement for Wang Yaping tonight, but he still disappeared from the spot and hurried to find her.
Staring at the picture appearing on the air curtain, Wang Jinlong held his breath. But once Wang Yaping left, he could no longer remain so calm. In the beginning, they camouflaged the painting for convenience, but did not establish precise connections. Now the control is extremely troublesome, which can be regarded as a self-defeating move.
Extending his hand to make a claw shape, Wang Jinlong twisted the space in front of him, causing the painting to produce a larger vortex. Xia Xiao removed the handprint, looked back at it, was silent for a moment to think, and then released a very strong and large amount of demonic energy to block it tightly.
This simple and crude, yet difficult to achieve thing surprised Wang Jinlong. But Xia Xiao just stood there, silently looking around. He noticed Wang Jinlong's eyes, and finally stopped his gaze in front of him. Although he couldn't see it, Wang Jinlong could see his cold wolf-like eyes, as if declaring war, asking him to come over.
Wang Jinlong knew that Xia Xiao was a tough opponent who should not be underestimated, but he did not expect that he could disguise himself so well, and he was afraid in advance. Last time he fought with the woman in the dark, he felt terrified just thinking about it, because he was held by her hand and could not move.
I hope she won't come. Wang Jinlong prayed secretly. He felt that he had miscalculated. Why did he think he had a sure win? It was true that the Yun people had been in seclusion for too long, and they were all a little blind and arrogant. But who would have thought that such a trick would be useless to Xia Xiao? Not to mention him, Wang Shixing would probably be hit. Even if he could resolve it, it would not be as easy as Xia Xiao. After all, not everyone has magic energy and can use it so conveniently and lightly.
In fact, Xia Xiao didn't contact Hei Huang at all. He was just arrogant on the surface, but he was actually very panicked inside, thinking, damn, let me stay for two more days, I can't stand it if I just arrived like this. And Hei Huang, you said before that you are everywhere, and you can go to any dark place, but now I am forced to sleep with others, and you don't come, you are really a piece of shit.
After cursing, Xia Xiao began to look forward to it again, thinking, "Come quickly, Yunguo is more terrifying than I thought." He was not afraid of whipping or torture, but was afraid of this almost perverted request. Xia Xiao originally thought that only women were afraid of such things, because men would always benefit, but he didn't expect that this shot would cost him his life, so forget it, he still has Ah Zhu, so this time is not a big deal.
Xia Xiao kept calling, but there was no response. However, Wang Yinlong had already walked to the outside of a secluded house.
The house was dark, with a dark fog as a backdrop, and only a few crows cawing to embellish it. There were no buildings around it, and it was a barrier within a barrier. Without Wang Jinlong's consent, neither Wang Yinlong nor Wang Qishen could enter. But the latter's good fortune was about to be ruined. Wang Yinlong was not as indifferent to the feelings of the messenger as Wang Jinlong, but at present he had to put the overall situation first, and finally stepped out after stopping.
