Stand-in puppet
"Three hours have passed, why hasn't Senior Brother Song woken up yet?" Shangguan Qing was standing by the campfire, holding a branch in his hand and drawing some meaningless pictures on the ground.
Lin Xingwan, who was sitting next to him, turned around, looked at the unconscious person, and let out a long sigh.
Lin Xingwan: "Senior Brother Song has fallen into a trance and is unable to wake up for a while."
Shangguan Qing was anxious and couldn't help but puff up his cheeks. "Now the only person who knows where Xiao Cha is is Senior Brother Song. If he doesn't wake up, how can we find him?"
Lin Xingwan also knew this truth, but she could do nothing about it.
However, at this moment, Yan Meiqian, who was sensitive to her surroundings, suddenly realized that the spiritual energy around her was silently converging towards one place.
Yan Meiqian paused in her meditation and quickly stood up.
But there was no time to take any other action.
The signs of spiritual disorder disappeared.
Yan Meiqian knew very clearly that the feeling just now was not an illusion.
Yan Meiqian felt very confused.
At this time, a disciple wearing the clothes of Liuli Sect walked out of the forest.
Liuli Sect disciple: "Hello everyone, my young master wants to do business with you."
"Oh, the Liuli Sect, which usually prides itself on being noble, would also seek cooperation from other sects?" Lin Xingwan sarcastically said.
Yan Meiqian did not blame her junior sister for her weakness, but continued, "You followed us for so long just for this purpose. What on earth is Hu Qianji thinking?"
Liuli Sect disciples: "Our young master's thoughts are beyond our comprehension. If you don't agree, the disciples around you in the fairyland will not have such a good life."
The Liuli Sect disciple glanced around, then raised his head proudly and continued, "This fairyland won't last long. I'm afraid it will collapse before we even get any opportunities."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the disciples of Hengyuan Sect raised their voices of doubt.
"You said it would collapse—"
"It must be something with bad intentions!"
"Yeah, are you afraid that we'll steal his opportunity?"
Yan Meiqian raised her hand, and everyone behind her fell silent. "Does beating around the bush seem like something everyone in the Liuli Sect does? If you have something to say, just get to the point."
"Yan Meiqian, as a disciple of Hengyuan, you must be aware that this fairyland is not only a hunting ground for the disciples of the Hundred Sects of the Immortal Clan, but also for the demon clan."
"Coincidentally, the master of this fairyland has a relationship with the demon clan that is hard to explain whether it is fate or hatred. I advise you to get out of here as soon as possible to avoid trouble." The disciple of Liuli Sect advised kindly.
Yan Meiqian: "Want the Hengyuan Sect to withdraw?"
The Liuli Sect disciple raised his hand and shook it, his tone drawn out, "Withdraw?"
"If you don't find a good excuse to withdraw, the elders will hold you accountable. My young master is kind-hearted and has considered all of you."
The Liuli Sect disciple raised his eyes to observe everyone's expressions, and said slowly: "In the fairyland, there is a place called Medicine King Valley, which hides countless treasures, but there are restrictions, and only humans can enter."
Before she finished her words, Yan Meiqian was startled by a cry of surprise.
A colorful cloud appeared above everyone's head, casting a shadow.
"Big Brother, these clouds seem to be heading in one direction!" Shangguan Qing narrowed his eyes, observing carefully and said, "Where is that direction?"
"Oh no, this cloud is a calamity cloud." Lin Xingwan had read a lot of books since she was young, and she recognized at a glance that the cloud was not simple.
Shangguan Qing turned his head.
Lin Xingwan then took a deep breath and added, "A calamity cloud that is about to descend upon a Mahayana cultivator!"
"No, no, Senior Sister." Shangguan Qing scratched her head in confusion, then asked, "Why are there Mahayana cultivators here? Doesn't the fairyland suppress your cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage?"
Just then Yan Meiqian said: "The fairyland will not suppress or restrict the only one kind of person, and that is its owner."
The Liuli Sect disciple looked at the multicolored cloud, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes as he said, "Where the multicolored cloud is drifting is the Medicine King Valley. I'm afraid it hides many secrets of the fairyland. If the Young Sect Masters asked me to bring you there, I've already done it. As for whether you will go to the Pill Valley or not, I'll leave it to you all to decide."
After saying this, the Liuli Sect disciple's face turned grim, and he immediately walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
Everyone present knew that the master of a fairyland had not yet died, which was a disaster for all the cultivators in the fairyland.
Lin Xingwan couldn't help but feel worried. She approached Yan Meiqian and asked in a low voice, "Big Brother, if the Lord of this fairyland is really not dead, then it would be dangerous for us to stay here."
Lin Xingwan hesitated and then said, "The most urgent thing...is to retreat."
A hint of difficulty flashed across Yan Meiqian's expression.
If they really want to quit, they can just do it directly. With him as the eldest brother taking the lead, the disciples behind him don't have to worry about being troubled by the elders after returning to the sect.
But the only thing that Yan Meiqian was worried about was Xiao Cha.
Although Xiao Cha, this junior brother, became a disciple a little late, and their relationship is not that close, maybe they just felt like old friends at first sight, or maybe he was just a token of his admiration for Yan Meiqian. Yan Meiqian cannot give up on Xiao Cha.
Yan Meiqian thought about it over and over again.
He turned his head as if he had made up his mind, and said seriously: "Junior sister, are you having trouble taking these fellow disciples out of the fairyland?"
Lin Xingwan was a little confused at first, but when she saw that Yan Meiqian didn't mean to be joking, she suddenly understood what Yan Meiqian wanted to do.
Lin Xingwan immediately raised her hands and bowed, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, this is nothing."
Yan Meiqian nodded, then raised her hand and waved, "Let's go."
Lin Xingwan moved quickly and immediately asked everyone to set off. She walked straight to the unconscious Song Liubai and lifted him up.
And as Lin Xingwan was planning to leave step by step.
But she could not ignore the stuffiness in her chest at this moment, which made her very uncomfortable.
Lin Xingwan came back with Song Liubai and said to Yan Meiqian, "Brother, you must come back."
Yan Meiqian's eyes were filled with imperceptible doting. She raised her hand to touch Lin Xingwan's head, but suddenly stopped and patted her shoulder.
"Um."
After Lin Xingwan walked away a little.
Yan Meiqian flicked her sleeves and turned to look at the colorful clouds in the direction of Yaowang Valley.
at this time.
For some reason, he had a feeling that Xiao Cha must be related to the colorful cloud.
"Brother, when are we leaving?"
A familiar figure came from Yan Meiqian's side. He turned his head with anticipation, and sure enough, he saw Shangguan Qing's guilty face.
Shangguan Qing straightened his back, and his fingers hidden under his sleeves inevitably trembled a few times.
But he still said stubbornly: "Okay, I just think that you need a good wife. Think about how big a deal it is to save Brother Xiao Cha. If you go alone to save him, what if something goes wrong..."
"Hmm?" Yan Meiqian said softly, and a glance from her scared Shangguan Qing so much that he immediately shut his mouth.
Shangguan Qing forced a stiff smile, "No, no, there's no way such a question would appear... Huh?!!"
Before she could finish her words, Yan Meiqian grabbed Shangguan Qing's shoulder, summoned the sword at her waist, and flew towards Yaowang Valley.
"Brother? Isn't flying prohibited in the fairyland?" Shangguan Qing lowered his eyes and looked at the ground gradually moving away from his feet and asked doubtfully, "But brother, have you found a way to break the fairyland ban?"
Yan Meiqian put one hand behind her back, and the flying sword under her was so fast that she soon reached a high place and could see the general shape of the Medicine King Valley in the distance.
Just now, Yan Meiqian felt that the spiritual energy around her suddenly disappeared for the most part, and then the "sharp blade" that she had felt pressing on her head since entering the fairyland disappeared.
"No, but there is something strange." Yan Meiqian's puzzled thoughts gradually became more and more intense, but everything that happened next made him suddenly realize.
*
"Cough cough!" Xiao Cha woke up because of a sharp pain in his hand.
Everything around me seemed so unfamiliar. Who would have thought that the interior of Yaowang Valley was such a paradise on earth, with green vines along the roof tiles, streams flowing along the cliffs, white mist like gauze, red carps swimming around, and a small pavilion leaning against the small building with the bamboo curtains half-rolled up.
Xiao Cha struggled to raise his upper body from the bluestone steps.
At this moment, he felt pain in the back of his neck. Without a doubt, this must be the aftereffect of Bai Changqing knocking him unconscious just now.
"This guy is using too much strength." Xiao Cha frowned and complained, thinking that if this guy had used a little more strength, he would have died.
However, after Bai Changqing brought me here, didn’t he do anything else?
Xiao Cha was feeling confused, and when he glanced over, he saw the corner of the dark blue clothes behind him.
Xiao Cha's mind buzzed. He was indeed someone who could rival Song Liubai. His cultivation was undetectable.
He straightened his collar, then hid his panic and stood up shakily.
"Bai Qian..." After Xiao Cha recognized the person opposite him clearly, he immediately swallowed the rest of his words, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly in shock.
It turned out that the man in dark blue clothes in front of him had a face exactly like Bai Changqing, but he had an extra mole on the tip of his nose, and the aura he exuded was completely different from Bai Changqing's.
"Who are you?" Xiao Cha blurted out.
Three seconds passed, but the person in front of him didn't say anything, and even the look in his eyes didn't change.
Like a puppet.
Xiao Cha tried to raise his hand and wave it in front of him.
The man quickly stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Cha's hand.
So cold.
Xiao Cha didn't dare to move her eyes and slowly pulled her hand out, but the man held it tighter and tighter.
After a while, Xiao Cha seemed to hear the sound of friction between bones.
But apart from that, Xiao Cha felt that someone had put something into the palm of his hand.
Then the man quickly let go.
Xiao Cha lowered his eyebrows and took a look, and a few stone flowers suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand.
Xiao Cha looked up in confusion as if to ask something, but at this moment Bai Changqing slowly walked out of the small building next to him.
"Hey, you're awake?"
"Faster than I thought."
Bai Changqing shifted his gaze from Xiao Chamu to the man, leaning lazily against the door, and said with a smile, "Don't be surprised. The person in front of you is the master of this fairyland."
Xiao Cha: "Why do you look exactly like him?"
The man was standing only three steps away from him, and Xiao Cha was able to see the person in front of him carefully from head to toe.
It was obvious that the aura emitted by the person in front of him was different from that of Bai Changqing, a pure demon.
"He's human." Xiao Cha raised her eyebrows, her inquiring eyes moving towards Bai Changqing. "You and he are not related by blood."
Bai Changqing clapped his hands, "Indeed, I am just the black fox that this Mahayana cultivator kept by his knees during his lifetime."
"When I transformed, I deliberately chose his likeness to paint my own human skin."
Bai Changqing took a step towards the stairs.
The next moment, a shadow appeared above Xiao Cha's head. It turned out to be Bai Changqing who teleported over.
Bai Changqing moved his upper body slightly closer to Xiao Cha, and saw the flash of surprise that crossed Xiao Cha's face clearly.
He curled his lips and sneered, "Puppet, I made him look like this. Does he look good?"
Xiao Cha lowered his head and compared the current situation with the original work which had long been unrelated.
The Lord of the Wonderland in the original novel died, but there was a character who did not appear in the original novel to replace him. This plot has gone too far.
"Lilliput, I spared your life, not to distract you from my presence." Bai Changqing leaned close to Xiao Cha's ear and said in a gentle voice, "The first time I saw you, I knew you would be my most satisfied puppet servant."
"Senior, you're such a joker! If I die, my Pure Yang bloodline will disappear." Xiao Cha listened to the threats and took a leisurely step back. He pointed at the sky filled with multicolored clouds and said, "You won't be able to shed this barbaric body and become an immortal."
Bai Changqing pretended to be suddenly enlightened, scratched his thin lips with his slender nails, and said, "Who said you would die?"
"I can't bear to see you die. I will leave a trace of my consciousness in that body to support it."
I see.
This fairyland survives by relying on a weak spiritual consciousness of the fairyland master, and is unable to resist the later master Bai Changqing.
Just when Xiao Cha realized this.
The system's voice came inappropriately in Xiao Cha's mind.
[Warning! Unknown characters have appeared, plot deviations have occurred, and will be reported.]
[Mission: Kill an unknown person, Reward: Undead state activated, -20% Perception]
Xiao Cha slowed down his breathing.
At this moment, Xiao Cha really wanted to pull out the system and see how that pile of broken data could come up with the idea of letting a person with no cultivation at all kill a cultivator who was close to the Mahayana stage.
Besides, this reward is too stingy.
I don’t know if the system felt guilty, but it kindly added a few more words.
[Successfully activated the host's Immortal Sword opportunity, increasing force value by 50% (currently: 50%)]
[Successfully activated the host's bad luck, luck value increased by 85%. Current: 50%. Attachment: Strategy for defeating a Mahayana monk.txt]
Xiao Cha's lips trembled as he complained in his heart, no wonder his luck wasn't good before, it turned out he had been in the negative points from the beginning!!!
