The Lord who use immortals as food

The county government office is already in ruins.

The house collapsed, a pillar as thick as a person was broken from it, and broken branches and leaves of the old locust tree flew everywhere, leaving only half of the bare trunk. And everything on it is covered with traces of being cut by sharp edges.

There were no lights in the courtyard, and it seemed to be deserted.

Shen Yanping's body had suffered unimaginable cuts and was leaning in the corner in disgrace.

Pei Ye took down Cheng Feng's body and placed it next to Shen Yanping.

There were still more than a dozen corpses of white-robed men and servants lying in the courtyard, and there were even two martial arts masters who must have come to reinforce them after seeing the water dragon.

Judging from the tragedy at the scene, there may have been a chance of victory, but in the end unfortunately, they prevailed.

Pei Ye quickly walked across the courtyard and came to the room where he had been before. It was also eroded by the water, but it was in the backyard after all, so the damage was not serious.

Pei Ye dug under the overturned table and chair to find the wine and medicine he had brought, took out a dark brown pill from the cloth bag, and swallowed it with the wine.

Soon it was like a fire was igniting in his belly, melting the hundreds of cold iron needles, and the burning pain gradually rose, replacing the colic that was about to erupt in a second wave.

Pei Ye leaned against the wall and took a few deep breaths. The blush returned to his face. Then he stood up and walked back to the hall.

Because one of the pillars broke, the roof collapsed diagonally, but the remaining three pillars still supported a space.

Pei Ye looked through the ruins and did not find Chang Zhiyuan's body. Perhaps Lord Shen asked him to leave before a more intense battle broke out.

There was no trace of the soul bird, but the jade box fell under the table and Pei Ye picked it up. There were two pieces of letter paper inside.

With the light on, Pei Ye took out one and put it in front of his eyes.

"Sincerely, Shen Changjian:

We are aware of the crisis in Fenghuai. However, a letter came from Beijing a few days ago saying that a group of special envoys have arrived in our state on an important mission and must cooperate fully. Lieutenant Jingdu went to Zhengshou County to welcome them this morning. When I received the letter, I immediately sent a letter to him from Soul Bird, and asked Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yizhang to come to your aid first, but I am afraid that they will not be able to do it in time, so I will lose my "Little Jiao Heart" to Soul Bird. Temporary relief from danger.

My heart is burning with anxiety after reading this letter. Please take good care of Shen Changjian, Mr. Feng, and my friends from Zhiyuan! "

Pei Ye put down the letter and picked up another one. The writing and ink on it had been changed.

"Little Jiao Xin..." Pei Ye murmured and read the second letter carefully again.

The first sentence was: "Shen Yanping, the little dragon heart has been soaked and sealed, and can be used directly."

Further down, there is a new section after a large gap.

"If Shen Changjian has suffered an accident, please use the 'Xiao Jiao Xin' as written below.

The Little Jiaoxin Refining Self-nurturing Yilou Warlock is usually stored in a dehydrated state. It needs to be soaked in water before use to make it come alive. The soaking time is affected by the concentration of spiritual energy in the water.

When used, it must be wrapped with a specific talisman and swallowed. There are two miraculous features of it: the first is 'Jiao Muscle', which can strengthen the body, the knife does not penetrate the bones, and can carry five oxen; the second is 'Shui Ling', which can avoid water. Like a fish, it can control two specific water methods.

There are two spells: one is to bind the crocodile, which can turn water into a trap; the other is to break the turtle, which can turn water into a blade. If the body has no spiritual power, it must be used in a place with sufficient water vapor. The effect will vary from person to person.

Note 1: If you have no experience in holding spirits and casting spells, do not try to use two water spells!

Note 2: The ‘Little Jiao Heart’ must be used by warriors of the fourth generation of Meridian Tree and above. If there is no true energy to protect the body, even if it is wrapped in a talisman, the 'little dragon heart' will corrode the five internal organs. If the envoy wants to survive, the minimum requirement cannot be less than two lives.

Note 3: Even if you are qualified to use it, you must use another talisman within two hours of entering the abdomen. This talisman is attached to the bottom of the box. When used, it is activated with the blood of the person who swallowed it. It can be used three times. Once it exceeds two hours, within ten days, either a sorcerer from Yangyilou will perform a spell, or a doctor from Taishan Yaolu will perform a caesarean section. If this time limit is exceeded and humans and beads become one, only gods can save them. "

"Magical weapon..." Even though he had already guessed in his mind, Pei Ye was still speechless for a moment.

This kind of thing, which we have only heard of in stories, turns out to exist in the world in such a real way.

Opening the bottom of the box, there was indeed a talisman with a black background and a gold pen lying flat on it.

Pei Ye took out this talisman, came to Shen Yanping's side, half-knelt on the ground, took one last look at the ferocious face covered with blood, pulled out the dagger, and pierced his abdomen.

Cut open the belly, and the appearance inside is shocking.

Shen Yanping undoubtedly has the qualifications to control Xiao Jiao Xin, but after death, there is naturally no true energy to protect the body. This walnut-sized magic weapon is like a seed taking root in the soil, extending its roots and piercing into the flesh and blood.

The yellow talisman wrapping it has not been punctured, but is like some kind of malleable substance, still attached to the outstretched roots, preventing them from directly contacting the flesh and blood.

Pei Ye took out the black talisman and dipped it in a little bit of Shen Yanping's blood. Fortunately, it was still effective. As the golden light circulated, the yellow-backed black talisman wrapped in the little dragon's heart fell into the nest like a swallow, dragging the little dragon's heart with it. Separated from flesh and blood.

After catching this magic weapon, the roots and shoots on it are still squirming and swaying.

Judging by the time, Lord Shen died less than two-quarters of an hour ago. During this period of time when he lost his true energy, Xiao Jiaoxin parasitized almost all of his stomach. My body has no real energy, so it should be the same as Master Shen's corpse. It can be said that it can last for half an hour at most under Xiao Jiao's heart.

It's time to find the man in black robes.

As soon as Pei Ye stood up and took a step, he stepped on something, which was exposed from the bottom of Shen Yanping's robe. Pei Ye raised the lamp and lowered his head to pick it up.

It was a thin book, and the moment the light of the oil lamp illuminated the yellow cover, the familiarity burst out in Pei Ye's mind, and he froze in place.

""Illustrations of Mountains and Seas"..." Pei Ye murmured. He rummaged through the public house but couldn't find the book, which turned out to be with Shen Yanping.

Turning to the first page, the signed author was Du Wuzhen from Jin Dynasty. He had never paid attention to it when he read it when he was a child, but this time the name made Pei Ye's eyes narrow.

——"I dug out all Du Wuzhen's books, and I'm still checking out the rest."

No wonder... Pei Ye's mind was swaying, this is the "predestined relationship"...

I quickly flipped through the pages, and I realized that this book was actually a picture book depicting various strange beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. There were not many words, so no wonder I loved reading it when I was a child.

Finally, Pei Ye pressed down on a page, and the vague memory was found.

The content of this page is clear at a glance. There is a phoenix-like firebird drawn on it, and a small line of text below it, which is "On the hill of Kunlun, there is a bird. Its name is Quail Bird, and it is the hundred uniforms of the Emperor."

It is here that the memory of "Quail" originated.

At first glance, it is a simple painting with just a dozen words, and it does not seem like there is any information that can be connected with [Quail Head].

Pei Ye looked carefully and saw that Du Wuzhen's brushwork was indeed quite charming. The quail's head was slightly lowered, looking calm and elegant, but other than that, there was nothing unusual about it.

But when his eyes moved to the wings, Pei Ye's eyes twitched, and a dangerous sense of familiarity flashed away, and chills stood up instantly.

There was no reason for this feeling. Pei Ye frowned and looked again, but felt that the quail in the painting suddenly had a human look.

It lowered its head, folded its right wing, and spread its left wing across its chest, like an old monk. What was it... worshiping?

Somehow, Pei Ye felt that he suddenly recognized the movement of the wings. He slowly raised his left hand, raised his little finger, pinched the lower knuckle of his middle finger with his thumb, and placed it under his chin.

This handprint is so unfamiliar, why would I—

His thoughts suddenly stopped due to shock, and Pei Ye froze on the spot.

Everything slowed down.

The flame of the oil lamp in my hand seemed to be dancing slowly, the raindrops beside me crawled down from the sky like a snail, and a bird chirped with a long voice...

My mind became extremely clear, and everything going on around me was clearly visible in my eyes.

"The quail is the emperor's hundred clothes." This ability to sort out the emperor's affairs in an orderly manner was given to the young man at this time, and the world became clear before his eyes.

Pei Ye made this handprint again in confusion. This strange state immediately subsided, and Pei Ye fell back to the real world.

The flames were still swaying and jumping in the wind, the raindrops were falling tightly, and the birds were chirping urgently...

Pei Ye looked at his hand: "Is this... [Quail Head]?"

He clearly realized that it was not a dream, this magical ability actually existed in him.

At this moment, a distant and lofty call suddenly arose from his heart, and Pei Ye suddenly turned his head to look to the west of the city.

The ceremony began.

The activated [Quail Head] worked.

Pei Ye clearly felt the soul-destroying call this time, but he was not affected at all. He felt that he could even cut off this connection at any time, just like last night, making the "god" lose his goal.

Life appears so within reach.

The man in black robe was heading to the west of the city, and the ceremony was also held in the west of the city. He could sense the position calling him, just as they could sense their position at this time.

There are horses in the backyard. As long as he cuts off contact and leaves far west of the city, they will never find him again.

Pei Ye was stunned for a while, then suddenly chuckled.
