Mechanical Alchemist

Su Lun didn't know how the imperial child came to the cursed space suddenly.

But her current situation is not optimistic.

Just like when Su Lun and the others first arrived, the breath of living people attracted a large number of ghosts, who were being besieged and killed.

Moreover, it seems that because she is a priestess, certain auras are particularly attractive to monsters.

"The imperial son is inside!"

Su Lun told Qianjo what the black crow saw.

Hearing this, Qianjo's expression froze, and he asked, "Are there any troublesome monsters?"

This opening was naturally intended to save someone.

Yuzi is their friend and will not be saved.

Su Lun also meant the same thing, and said sternly: "There is a ghost-type monster that is more difficult. It can fight, but it can't fight."

When he inquired about the news in the ghost town before, he knew that there was only one ghost king named [Red Monster] nearby. This kind of monster likes to hide in abandoned shrines. It belongs to the ghost type ghost. The tricky method is that it can control the wind and rain.

But even though they are both ghost kings, they are also different. The monsters in the city are usually much more powerful than those in the wilderness.

This [Red Monster] is much weaker than the [Shuten-douji] he met before, and Su Lun estimated that the difference in combat power between the two is about half a big rank.

Not too tricky.

"Um."

Qiantiao nodded, looked sideways, put his hand on the demon knife, and said: "It's just right. Try the secret sword I just learned."

This is not a city, and there are no endless ghosts, and it is not worth their fear.

What's more, they came in time, and they haven't attracted too many powerful monsters.

A quick fix is ​​sure to save lives.

At this moment, in the dilapidated shrine.

Kamifu Miko was besieged by several big monsters, her face full of despair.

I am dead?

As a priestess who serves the Shinto, as soon as she entered this world full of imperial power, she immediately realized that this was the legendary kingdom of the underworld where people go after death.

What made her even more puzzled was that, judging from certain physical characteristics, it seemed that she was not dead?

I don't know how I came to the kingdom of the underworld,

But the current situation,

She probably really was going to die.

Originally, those few big monsters found it very difficult to deal with one of the imperial sons, let alone these five or six who were besieged like crazy.

If it is in the real world, she can also use Amaterasu's power to cause great damage to these ghosts.

But not here.

In this country of the underworld, there is no sunshine at all, and the power of Amaterasu cannot be supplemented or borrowed at all.

She also discovered that every time she breathes out when she casts a spell, the Qi of the Underworld is eroding her own divine power.

Although Izanami, the lord of Huangquan, is also the "mother god" of Shanyin, she is actually a supreme god higher than Amaterasu. Moreover, Amaterasu originated from the line of Izanagi, and the two systems are somewhat "yin and yang" opposed to each other.

Now he can barely survive for a while relying on the magic power in his body and the few treasures inherited by the witch, but sooner or later he will die.

"puff!"

At this moment, Miko was hit in the abdomen by the one-eyed blue-skinned monk Yao [Aobozu], and a mouthful of scarlet blood spewed out, staining the plain white muscle undergarment. The forensic doctor on her body was also dimmed due to the pollution of ghost energy.

And on the side, the ferocious-looking [Red Monster] was also blowing foul-smelling rain, bit by bit eroding the golden light of her body.

Miko's face was like gold paper, and he barely stood up.

Because the "Black Sun Great Sacrifice" fighting method had exhausted her mana before, and now it is at the end of its strength.

What's more, the miko who can't get the response of the gods will lose 70% of their combat power.

When he stood up, he was sprayed in the face with a mouthful of filth by an old demon who had been formed for an unknown number of years. The whole person couldn't avoid it, flew upside down and broke a stone pillar, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Because of repeated heavy injuries, the body has reached its limit.

Yuzi already knew that he was doomed, and the luster of those originally bright black eyes dimmed.

She stood up again, already staggering a little.

Powerless.

At the last moment of death, she glanced at the sky from the corner of her eye, and murmured in her heart: "It is said that the sky of Huangquan Kingdom is indeed Yongye's."

But at this moment, an inexplicably familiar black crow suddenly broke into the field of vision.

"I remember that Mr. Su Lun also raised such a black crow. I don't know if he and Miss Qiantiao were affected by the war."

Yuzi felt a little melancholy suddenly.

She felt that most people would have these thoughts when they were dying.

But with this pair of eyes, she vaguely felt that the black crow was looking at her again, one person and one bird stared at each other.

"This is Mr. Su Lun's black crow!?"

Miko immediately realized something, her eyes trembled with an unexpected brilliance.

Before she could figure out what was going on right now,

Suddenly, two figures came in from outside.

They didn't receive the influence of Amaterasu's enchantment at all, and they fought with a few monsters in the blink of an eye.

To help yourself?

Not a ghost?

After being beaten up, someone came to rescue out of nowhere?

Before Miko understood what happened, she saw that one of them had appeared one meter away. The man was extremely vicious, and he cut the [Red Monster] like a blood-colored mist into two pieces with one blow.

Although the red monster recovered in the blink of an eye, it also let out an ear-piercing scream when it was hit by this knife.

Injured a big ghost monster with just one knife?

Miko stared wide-eyed, looked at the heroic face of the swordsman in front of him in disbelief, and exclaimed: "Miss Qianjo?"

"Um."

Qianjo returned her glance with her gaze, and before she had time to say more, she slashed again, blocking the attacking Zen stick.

There was a sharp sound of metal touching, and the flames flickered.

In an instant, the phantom of the six-armed six-sword and Rakshasa appeared, and she opened the gate of hell as if she drew the sword, and a terrifying breath swept the audience. She was alone, fighting with those big monsters. He didn't even lose the slightest bit of wind!

Miko's eyes were full of sparks and trembling, she was too excited to speak, she muttered to herself: It's really Miss Qianjo.

Those who have never experienced a desperate situation will definitely not be able to understand the excitement of seeing the dawn of hope in her heart now.

In the next second, she noticed that the space around her was fluctuating, and another person also came out from the space crack.

The imperial son looked, who is it if it's not Su Lun?

Different places, same desperation.

Just like meeting in the bamboo forest in Chidao, Su Lun said, "Miss Yuzi, can you still go?"

"return"

Yuzi wanted to speak, but couldn't hold back the fishy feeling in his throat. She quickly covered her mouth, but blood still overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing her state, Su Lun shook her head, "I'll talk about it later. We have to get out of here now."

He was not polite, walked over and put his arms around Miko's slender waist, then rushed out of the shrine.

Yuzi himself felt very rude, but before he had time to react, he ran towards the outside lightly.

She lay on Su Lun's shoulder, and for some reason, the sense of despair of facing death in her heart suddenly disappeared. At this time, watching the ghosts swarming around, she had time to think about other thoughts in her mind. This scene seemed familiar, as if he was the one who came to the rescue in the desperate situation of being chased and killed in the bamboo forest of Chidao Fan.

Miko felt incredible.

But she was also very puzzled, why did Su Lun and Qianjo also appear in the kingdom of the underworld?

A moment later, he sank into guilt.

Because she guessed that she must have implicated them. There were also some complicated emotions in those beautiful eyes.

Su Lun ran with his imperial son on his shoulders.

It's not that he can't beat it, but the movement here has already attracted the ghosts from the ghost city, and if it continues, it will become more and more troublesome.

The big monster on the top of the mountain was dragged by Qiantiao, and the little ghost at the bottom of the mountain couldn't stop Su Lun.

In the communicator, listening to Qianjo also started to evacuate safely, Su Lun continued to run in the direction of Sensoji Temple.

This is not a ghost town, there are no endless ghosts. Although those lonely ghosts looked at Yuzi and drooled as if they saw "Tang Monk Meat", they didn't have much combat power at all, and they scattered as soon as they charged. Many even looked at the phantom of the god of death emerging behind Su Lun, and were instinctively afraid.

Not long after, the two of them completely got rid of those little ghosts and stopped at a mountain stream.

Su Lun put down Yuzi, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Miss Yuzi, are you okay?"

Miko had a complicated expression, "I'm fine."

After a pause, both of them said at the same time: "You"

Su Lun smiled, looked at Yuzi and waited for him to speak first, and asked directly: "Miss Yuzi, why did you appear here?"

"I was read by the moon in the Black Sun Festival."

Yuzi paused, as if he felt that it was meaningless to go into detail, but asked in confusion, "Mr. Su Lun, you and Miss Qianjo are also dead?"

"died?"

Su Lun was puzzled for a moment, then realized that she thought this was the kingdom of the underworld, so she shook her head and said, "No, we are not dead. This is not the kingdom of the underworld."

Yuzi was obviously taken aback, "Ah, this?"

The ghosts here, the spirit of the underworld, the gray moon in the sky, and the lifeless scene. It is clearly the kingdom of underworld!

Su Lun knew it was incredible, so he explained directly: "This is a cursed space."

Many people in Shanyin don't know the alchemy system, but Miko, as the princess, knows it very well.

Hearing this statement, her face was full of disbelief, and she asked in surprise, "Cursed space?"

"Um."

Su Lun nodded, knowing that it would be difficult for others to accept it for a while, so he explained: "This is the world of novels, to be precise, it is a novel written by the great writer Hayato Fujiwara about his experience of going to Huangquan. Then I don't know What, it became a cursed space. Then when the vision of the black sun came before, someone polluted the sunlight, and in this way, people who did not believe in gods were sucked in from the entire mountain. I happened to see the sky before When the vision came down, we rushed over and saw you being besieged by monsters."

He looked at Miko's face, originally wanting to see if she knew, but she didn't know either.

After listening to these words, Miko realized what situation he was in now.

She looked around again. Although she found it incredible, she didn't doubt Su Lun's words at all. I also understood why I saw the two of them here.

Although he did not die, he was obviously implicated by himself.

Su Lun said this, and then asked: "By the way, Miss Yuzi, how did you come in?"

"I"

Miko's face looked a little complicated, as if he had encountered something that he couldn't explain in a few words.

She organized her words, and then said: "The black sun is coming, I was praying and offering sacrifices in the shrine just now, but I couldn't welcome Amaterasu again. Instead, the will of the 'Tsuyomi God' descended, and I lost my divine power."

"Just now?"

Su Lun caught a key word and asked, "When you came in, how long has it been since the dark sun fell?"

Miko didn't know why he asked this question, but also replied: "At most a quarter of an hour."

"A quarter of an hour?"

When Su Lun heard this, a look of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

They've been here for half a month, and it's only a quarter of an hour outside?

Is it a matter of cursing the velocity of space and time?

After thinking about it, he is not too surprised, it may be some characteristics of this cursed space.

After all, how fast the story line in the book develops depends on the reader's reading speed?

He asked again: "What happened next?"

Miko talked about this, her face became a little ugly, she hesitated for a moment, and she said: "Later, the Tsukiyomi God granted the new power and announced Takeda Nobuno as the 'Moon Emperor'. I asked some inappropriate questions , and offended the gods, and was exiled here by the power of the gods.”

This passage is very informative.

Hearing this, Su Lun finally understood why Yuzi was a little embarrassed to speak.

The Huangquan of their Shenfu clan is a divine gift, and now that the Yuedu God has suddenly appeared and granted a new royal family, so where should they go for the Shenfu clan?

Su Lun also instantly understood the skill of the Takeda shogunate.

As the name goes, the residents of Shanyin won't mind in the slightest.

After all, it’s not other gods. Yueyomi, Amaterasu, and Susano are all three gods in Shanyin’s belief system, so there’s nothing special about them.

Since what has been preached is the divine grant of imperial power, do you admit to this "Moon Emperor"?

Su Lun frowned slightly, and asked, "Are you sure it's the will of the God of Moon Reading?"

"Sure."

Miko nodded solemnly: "I am a priestess who serves the gods, and I have some special means to communicate directly with the gods. The one who descends is indeed Tsukiyomi-sama."

"."

As Su Lun listened, a choking smell of conspiracy came to his nostrils.

Because he knew that Shinno Takeda was a rune magician who defected from Lu Ying, and there was also an alchemy man-made "Yate Yeji" hidden behind the scenes. The alchemy system is already rejected by the gods, will they be recognized by the moon reading master to become the "moon emperor"?

Obviously impossible.

He put forward a hypothesis, saying: "What if. I mean what if there is no possibility that someone has deceived your perception by other means?"

No matter what the reason is, to question the beliefs of a believer in God is an act that offends the gods and is disrespectful. Su Lun was very careful with his words.

But at least he knows that alchemists are good at simulating theological phenomena in various scientific ways.

For example, the country of the underworld right now.

Yuzi also instantly understood the meaning of his words, and wanted to shake his head to deny, but then he thought of something, and swallowed the words in his mouth, with a very contradictory expression.

"."

When Su Lun heard this, he didn't ask any more questions.

As Saio, Miko must have some abilities that he doesn't know about.

Originally, I thought I could hear some clues from Yuzi and find a way to leave this cursed space, but now it seems that things are getting more and more complicated.

However, now is not the time to care about this issue.

The lingering black crows in the sky have been sharing the field of vision. Su Lun looked like a ghost approaching, no accident was attracted by Yuzi's breath.

Now they need to move to a safer place.

But Chijo hasn't come yet.

It's been a while, which is a bit unusual.

Su Lun directly dialed the communicator and asked, "Miss Qiantiao, haven't those ghosts been shaken off yet?"

Qiantiao responded immediately, with a low tone: "No, I got rid of it. But something happened."

After a moment of hesitation, she added: "My knife is missing, I'm looking for it."

Su Lun was also very surprised when he heard that, and asked, "Ah, your knife is missing, what's the matter?"

Chijo obviously didn't understand, and his tone was very puzzled, "I don't know what happened, I got rid of those monsters, and then hung the "Yao Saber Zongzheng" on my waist, but it suddenly disappeared while I was running. It seems to be stolen, because I perceive very subtle spatial fluctuations."

"."

Su Lun suddenly felt a strange expression on his face.

This situation surprised him even more than when Chijo was in danger.

Because for a swordsman, the knife is in the person. It is absolutely impossible to lose this guy who ate.

What's more, he was still fighting just now, and someone could steal the knife?

Qianjo's strong perception can be taken away before she responds, which is very clever.

In this Huangquan Kingdom, there are no other living people, and only ghosts are haunted.

Listening to her description, Su Lun immediately ruled out all kinds of possibilities from the knowledge reserve in his mind.

He said: "Sister Qiantiao, I think I know what monster stole your knife. Don't look for it, you can't find it. Where are you, let's meet first."

Chijo immediately responded: "Okay!"

Su Lun and Yuzi didn't dare to stay where they were, and moved all the way.

Not long after, they ran into Qiantiao who had arrived.

The young gambling addict lost the knife, and the angry look on her face made her even more annoyed than she almost died before.

As soon as she came, before she had time to catch up with Yuzi, she asked, "Su Lun, do you know which damn ghost stole my knife?"

Su Lun met her question, nodded, and said, "We may have met [Bai Zangzhu]."

Upon hearing this, Yuzi obviously knew about the monster, and said in surprise, "Huh? If it's that kind of monster, it's hard to get back the lost treasure."

Obviously, she has experienced it before, and added: "Our royal treasure house has lost things a few times. After investigation, I found out that [Master Bai Zang] did it. That kind of monster is very cunning and good at escaping space. can't catch it at all"

[Hundred Zangzhu] There are monsters that people love and hate. This is the top treasure hunter and the most famous thief. Legend has it that it has a treasure bag on its back, which contains many rare treasures. Its talent is that it can smell the baby, once it appears, you have to be careful that the most important baby around you will be stolen.

After a long while, Qiantiao finished listening to the science popularization of the two, with black lines all over the corners of his eyes, and muttered: "So...you two have been giving me science popularization for a long time, just to tell me that I can't get my knife back?"

As she said that, she beat her chest and stomped her feet in grief: "Oh, my God. If I catch that damned thief, I must chop it into pieces! It's rotten! It's rotten!"

Su Lun also found Qiantiao's angry appearance very interesting, smiled and shook his head, and said, "It's not like there is no chance. If the legend is correct, 【Hundred Zangzhu】has a treasure bag full of treasures with him, although he may People throw things away. But as long as you can catch it, it will use the treasure to pay a ransom for mercy. You will also get a 'treasure' that is not inferior to the lost treasure!"

"oh?"

When Qiantiao heard this, the tacit understanding between the two made her instantly understand that Su Lun had a solution.

On the side, Miko blinked, even forgetting the complicated emotions that came in before, very curious, but also reminded: "But that kind of legendary monster has never been caught, it can escape into the void."

Su Lun shook his head and smiled mysteriously: "That's the ability to move in space. It's really tricky, but it's not impossible."

To make Qiantiao not notice it in advance, the means of spatial displacement is at least many times better than that of Su, it is impossible to see through it.

But... not enough strength, baby come and join us!

Because in Su Lun's hand, there is a [Cronus' Space Glove], which is specially designed to restrain space displacement!

Upon hearing this, Qiantiao's face, which was still full of worries just now, immediately became energetic, "What are we going to do?"

Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "We searched blindly, but it was impossible to find it. The monster is very cautious, and once it is in the hands, it will immediately run away. But its talent is treasure hunting, and it is also very greedy. Like a moth to a flame, he instinctively approached the treasure."

When Qiantiao heard it, his crystal eyes shone brightly.

She already understood the plan!

Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly: "As long as there are enough treasures, I'm not afraid that it won't take the bait."

Qianjo's knife must be found.

but this time,

It is rare to encounter this legendary monster,

Su Lun not only wants to find the knife, but also plans to make a fortune!

Qianjo only lost "Yao Saber Zongzheng", but did not lose the other twelve famous sword "Kikumon Shrine Ichishou". This shows that the monster's vision of picking babies is still very vicious.

But correspondingly, if it is true as the legend says, the better the "ransom" you get after you catch it!

Su Lun was also very curious, what could be better than a famous knife worth a [Forbidden Item].

In the past few days, he has been familiar with all the novels of Hayato Fujiwara, and he knows almost everything about the monsters described in them.

He couldn't be more clear about the character of [Hundred Zangzhu].

If it was elsewhere, he might not be sure yet. I also worry about whether to fetch water with a bamboo basket, or because of some unknown circumstances, even the "bait" will be lost when fishing.

But this is the world of Hayato Fujiwara's novels!

The novel written by the great writer must be pretty close to the description.

It's a bit of a risk, but worth it.

Su Lun immediately made up his mind.

There are few treasures, I'm afraid I won't be able to attract them

Monsters don't like things that are too low-end.

Thinking of this, Su Lun took out a bunch of treasures of his own, [Hypnos's Black Scythe of Night], [Oz Iceman's Shroud], [Rune Umbrella], [Tartaros Soul Lamp Iron Chain], [Steinitz's Chessboard], [Anistora's Poisonous Censer], [Robert's Monocle], [Arm of the Hundred-Armed Giant King], [Sands of Time], [ Giant's Crown.

All kinds of forbidden items, cursed items, materials, and special treasures are dazzling.

In order to be complete, so that the monsters can be tricky, Su Lun took out all the top treasures from the space seal and carried them on his back.

Seeing him taking out treasures one by one and carrying them on his back, even the imperial son, who is the emperor's daughter, was dumbfounded and shocked beyond measure.

She seemed to see the royal treasure house being carried on her body.

even!

In terms of preciousness, there may not be a few items in the royal family that can match the items in front of them.

Although Qiantiao knew some of Su Lun's background, but seeing so many treasures, he also said with emotion: "Yo, you kid has quite a few good things."
