Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 201 Final preparations before heading to the Palace of Source

This time I brought the Night Demons with me specifically for this purpose.For this reason, Li You also borrowed a large amount of hemp rope from Ashina City's warehouse.

Of course, Li You didn't forget to ask the night demons to dig out Sichuan Chan's fingers from the belly of the lion ape.

After letting the night demons move the headless lion ape back to the dungeon, Li You then led everyone through the lion ape's lair and came to the misty forest.

The Misty Forest is not marked with a place name in the game, but in the research and analysis of players, it is generally believed that the Misty Forest is the Bojing Forest where Owl and Phantom Butterfly came from, or a part of it.

Wolf was also trained as a ninja here when he was young.

When he came here, the wolf looked at the forest shrouded in thick fog and whispered: "...I didn't expect that I would be back here again."

After Li You asked him, Lang answered truthfully. He had indeed done ninja training in this forest in the past, but not in this area, but in a lower altitude area.

And according to him, the horror of the misty forest is not the fog that makes it difficult to see the direction and the phantom ghosts in it, but that some trees and even the land are phantoms that condense once you pass by them, and they may no longer exist the next time. It makes people lose their way.

Li You was secretly shocked after hearing this. After all, the misty forest in the game does not have such characteristics.

Then he took out the dream awakening bell.

Amidst the clear and crisp sound of clanging, the group of people passed through unimpeded.

In a Buddhist temple deep in the misty forest, a royal nobleman in a red robe who had mutated into a half-fish man was standing guard in front of the Buddha statue, playing the flute.

He is the strongest elite monster in all Sekiro, Kirigakure Takato.

Kirigakure Takato has four arms and four tails, and the skin all over his body is like a dead fish with its scales peeled off, showing a lifeless pale white.

On the rafter behind him, Li You, Lang and Aiji were squatting on it, watching him play the music continuously.

While listening, Li You took out a bottle of wine and poured a glass for Wolf and Ai Ji.

As for Yuzu, he couldn't get up and is currently guarding the main entrance.

Wolf and Aggie were holding small wine glasses with confused expressions on their faces.

Only Li You took a sip and listened with appreciation to the noble Kirigakure playing the flute below.

Speaking of which, Kirigakure Takato played "The Song of King Lanling Entering the Battle".

After listening quietly for a while, the wolf couldn't bear it anymore and asked in a low voice: "Master Li You, where are we..."

Li You looked at him and smiled: "Don't you think the music played by the person below is very nice?"

Wolf:"……"

Aiji twitched the corner of his mouth: MD, Li You is sick again.

Li You originally planned to let Yuzi break in and kill Kirigakure, but after hearing the sound of the flute at the door, Li You felt that he should respect Sekiro, the strongest elite monster.

So he took Wolf and Aggie to the second floor window and sat down on the beam to listen to music.

Don't tell me, Kirigakure Takato is really good at blowing.

Wolf couldn't help but added: "...Although this person's skills are indeed very good, but...he has already played the same paragraph for the third time."

Li You was stunned: "Ah? Is that so?"

Ai Ji couldn't bear it anymore, so he pulled out the hand cannon X from Li You's waist, and aimed it at the noble Kirigakure below!
Li You was startled: "Wait!"

But it was already too late, Hand Cannon X's powerful bullet completely tore Kirigakure's head into pieces with one shot!
Aiji was still a little confused: "...Is he dead now?"

As soon as Kirigakure Takato died, a thick cloud of white smoke burst out from his body, and everything around him was enveloped in smoke.

And when the white smoke dissipated, the small Buddhist temple, which was originally a solemn but not luxurious one, suddenly became dilapidated. The top was broken and rotten, and even the Buddha statue in the center was missing.

Not only that, but also the fog covering the entire Boi Forest outside the Buddhist temple dissipated.

Yuzi, who was originally waiting at the main entrance of the Buddhist temple, poked her head and looked left and right, still wondering why the environment had suddenly changed.

The wolf also looked outside the temple, extremely surprised: "...Is this guy the source of the fog in Bojing Forest? What on earth is it...?"

Li You replied: "It's the nobles from the Palace of Origin who used special methods to cover the Bojing Forest to prevent outsiders from coming into contact with the Shuisheng Villagers."

Wolf somewhat understood: "Is it because the aquatic village also hides the secret of the Palace of Origin?"

"It's more or less the same. You'll understand the details after reading it."

A moment later, the wolf stood next to Li You, looking at the strange scene in the aquatic village and unable to understand it.

"...Why is it like this? Isn't this...the closest place to Xianxiang?"

Aiji also felt a little embarrassed, but Li You smiled and said, "The so-called fairyland must be good, right?"

"Let's go, what we are looking for is in the deepest part of the aquatic village."

The aquatic village is adjacent to the Susui Forest and is similar to the drinking place of the lion monkey. It is the closest place to fairyland in Ashina. Even the mikoshi that returns to the fairyland is arranged in the cave at the end of the aquatic village.

The original aquatic village was one of the first villages to worship the source of water, and it was also a very important place in the eyes of Master Wei.

But as the priest of Shuisheng Village was bewitched by Sakura Dragon's faith and wanted to become a "capital citizen", and distributed wine brewed from water contaminated by the power of immortality to the villagers, the villagers became twisted immortals. body and fell into madness.

The aquatic village that was supposed to have beautiful scenery and simple folk customs has turned into a ghost village where the sky is dark, the dead are rampant, and even the trees have become twisted.

Nowadays, there is no one in the entire aquatic village... Oh, there is also a lucky guy named Zhengsuke. He vomited after drinking too much, so he didn't go crazy. He is the only normal person.

In the game, he will hide in the house, huddle in a basket, talk to the wolf, and tell the wolf what happened in the aquatic village.

And if you come back later, you will find that Masuke couldn't stand the temptation in the end, drank the priest's wine, and became just like other villagers.

As for Aquatic Village, Li You didn't have much to see, and people really didn't want to stay in this shabby place.So he took his companions and pushed straight through.

Most of the villagers in Shuisheng Village survived. The twisted Sakura Dragon power made them resurrect as half-human and half-corpse after a period of time even if they were killed.

What's more, they will simply bury themselves in the soil and attack the ignorant living people passing by.

But after all, Li You has Aiji here, and the Night Demon's perception ability makes all the enthusiastic villagers hidden in the soil invisible.

However, considering that the villagers could not be killed, Li You did not waste any time and led his people to break through quickly.

Li You didn't pay attention to anything else on the road. Whether it was Shui Sheng Rin pulling the shamisen on the roadside or the priest at the shrine at the end of the village, Li You ignored them all.

The reason for the coldness of water is that Li You felt that when Ashina's guard behind him was free, he could let the samurai brother come to find her by himself.As for the priest, he simply didn't care.

After he finishes beating the phantom monk, he can come back and chop the guy with a knife, then take away the dragon spring and fish scales on his body.

Along the dirt road in front of the shrine, Li You and his party came to the huge rock gate in the deepest part of the aquatic village.

There is a small clearing here, and a tall rock portal is built on the opposite mountain wall.

Behind that is the mikoshi that can go to the Source Palace.Once you have found all the materials for incense, you will come here and head to Fairyland.

However, the Mikoshi Rock Gate is not unguarded.

As Li You and Lang approached, the phantom of a tall monk wearing a cassock, a Prajna mask, and carrying a long-handled naginata gradually emerged.

That is the guardian of the rock gate of the aquatic village, the phantom monk who broke the vows.As the name suggests, the broken monk is like a phantom shrouded in mist.

In addition, the Phantom Breaker Monk is also extremely tall. He is already three meters tall, which is much taller than Yuzi.

The wolf stared at the phantom monk: "This is...the guardian of the rock gate!"

Li You also nodded, and then took out the Dream Awakening Bell, the Song Seed, and the Ash Ball.

It is well known that monks who break the precepts will not fight back if they get into a fight.

Looking at the messy props in Li You's hands, Lang's face was full of questions, and then turned into exclamation during the following battle.

The battle begins, and the broken monk approaches quickly, about to cut off the naginata in his hand!

"Jingle Bell--"

Li You shook the dream awakening bell, and the phantom monk's body immediately fluctuated, and the attack stopped abruptly.

After a while.

The broken monk shouted, holding the naginata in both hands, and started swinging it like a big windmill!
"Ding--!"

Li You crushed Ming Zhong, and the body of the phantom broken monk flashed again.

Fortunately, the monk who broke the precepts in front of him was just an illusion. If it were him in person, he would probably be so angry that he would curse.

Despicable foreigners have no martial ethics!

However, after testing, Li You found that the effect of the ash mass on the monks who broke the precepts was relatively limited, which was a pity.

But in short, under Li You's strong suppression, the phantom monk who broke the rules only made five strikes from the beginning to the end, and was beaten back and knocked to the ground by everyone.

The broken monk still wanted to struggle, but the wolf had already drawn the Immortal Slash and pierced her body with the knife!
Li You even stepped forward and cut off the illusory head of the monk who broke the precepts!

The body of the phantom broken monk then faded away, while the wolf's expression changed and he froze on the spot.

Li You knew at a glance that he had learned aquatic breathing again, right?
But I was obviously the one who killed the phantom monk who broke the precepts, so why was the one who learned the breathing technique...

Suddenly, Li You thought, and a spiritual light appeared in his mind, forming a pattern.Li You took a look, wasn't that Shuisheng's breathing technique?
Li You was happy at first, and then a little strange. If what he has learned now is aquatic breathing, then the wolf...?
He turned around and saw that the wolf was meditating with his eyes closed, and then suddenly opened his eyes!

Without saying a word, he rushed back to the shrine, grabbed a villager, and stabbed him with a knife.Then, when he drew the sword, the wolf turned the wedge pill, and a suction force seemed to be generated on the blade, attracting the villager's blood to the blade!
Blood knife technique!
When Li You followed him out, he happened to see the wolf waving his blood knife and sending away several villagers in front of the shrine one by one.

Aiji was a little surprised when he saw it, and asked in jerky Japanese: "Is this...?"

The wolf looked at the pill in his hand. The blood on the pill had faded.He replied: "It's a move I came up with after some inspiration. Let's call it... blood knife technique."

Li You asked: "Did you just learn the aquatic breathing technique from the phantom monk?"

The wolf shook his head in confusion.

Li You understands, that means I can teach him!

Fortunately, the aquatic breathing technique was not absorbed into a skill by the soul pendant, but entered his mind directly so that he could teach it to the wolf.

Coincidentally, he was also very interested in the wolf's blood sword skills.Not only the blood knife technique, blood smoke technique, and puppet technique, he was also curious about them.

So then it’s time to have fun collecting.

Li You led the wolf into the rock gate and took away the knot stone enshrined here, which was the last material to generate the incense of the source.

Then, he taught on the spot and passed on the aquatic breathing technique to the wolf.

Li You immediately led a group of people back.

He broke into the shrine, beat the priest violently, and took away the dragon spring and several fish scales from him.

He went to the other side of the river and got the smoked rosin used to strengthen the prosthetic hand of Ninja.

In the end, he bought another pot of Longquan, a purple-spotted crooked-mouthed gourd that could resist terror attacks, and a few treasure carp scales from the memorial gang who set up a stall at the entrance of Shuishui Village.

Fortunately, the newcomer's early friends, the Solitary Shadows of Aquatic Village, were not here, otherwise they would not have been able to escape the murderous hand.

Li You and his party then returned to the misty forest and eliminated the leaderless people in the forest, and the soul pendant was strengthened again.

As for the other elite monster in the forest, Tokujiro Niuyue, Li You did not intend to cause trouble with him. After all, he had no conflict with him, and there was no such thing as a Buddhist bead in this world that could increase the upper limit of life.

But unexpectedly, Niuyin Tokujiro seemed to be attracted by the fragrance of Longquan wine on Li You, and ran out on his own.

Although this guy was tall and strong, he had a naive look on his face. When he saw Li You, he originally wanted to rob him, but after seeing the group of them clearly, he felt that he might not be able to defeat him, so he angrily offered to trade with his wine.

Li You was already amused by him, so he asked him if he would be willing to give him a pot of Longquan in exchange for serving Wei Ming.

Niuyin Tokujiro was still a little entangled at first, but after seeing the Longquan wine jar shaking in Li You's hand, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared:
"I, Tokujiro Tokujiro, will never rely on others! Unless..."

“Unless the drinks are all-inclusive!”

Li You clapped his hands: "Deal!"

As a result, there was another bandit who looked ferocious but was actually naive in the group returning.But he is also an elite after all, and his strength is pretty good.

Li You believes that if he is handed over to Genichiro and Kigatabu, they will have plenty of ways to discipline him.

But it was not without surprises along the way.

When the group returned to the lion ape's lair, Li You was surprised to find that a familiar ghost figure had appeared in the lair.

Samurai with Seven Faces.

In the game, the Lion's Lair will originally contain a Seven-faced Samurai, which will drop Sichuan Chan's relic, the Crybaby's Ring.

But what surprised Li You was not its existence, but why it appeared at this time?
Originally, in the game, the Seven-faced Samurai would only appear after the Lion-Ape was completely killed with the Immortal Slash, and the resentment in this place gathered.

So Li You originally thought that he would not see this resentful spirit this time.

Unexpectedly, it still appeared.

Li You was a little confused, but since it had appeared, it was actually a good thing.This means that when they go back this time, they can complete the strengthening of the finger whistle.

So, Li You asked everyone except the wolf to wait outside the den, and he and the wolf jumped into the lion ape's den.

The wolf pulled out the wedge pill, Li You put the knife on his waist, and a sniper rifle appeared in his hand.The two of them sprinkled the divine flying snow in tacit agreement at the same time, then Li You raised his gun and fired, and the wolf rushed out quickly!

I have to say, fighting with teammates like Wolf is really reassuring.

Even Li You feels the same way.

The wolf has excellent strength, a firm will, an excellent sense of combat, and an instinct for danger.In addition, he is immortal.

How can such a teammate make people feel uneasy?
And the cooperation between the two, after experiencing so many battles, has become very close.

Therefore, this seven-faced warrior, who was transformed from the resentment of Chuan Chan and others, was quickly solved by Li You and Lang together, without any danger.

After the Seven-faced Warrior turned into ashes, an old and blood-stained ring fell to the ground.

The soul pendant did not respond. It seemed that the remaining soul of the Seven-Faced Samurai was of no use to it.

Li You picked up the ring and took a closer look. After seeing clearly the word "Chuan Chan" engraved on the inside of the ring, he determined that it was the ring of the crybaby.

Li You immediately put the ring away and called out Yuzi, Ai Ji and others: "Let's go back."

……

After returning to the city, Li You and Lang went to an abandoned Buddhist temple.

When the Buddha carver saw the two people coming, he just snorted and was about to continue carving the Buddha.

But out of the corner of his eye, he saw the slender knuckles in Li You's hand, and he couldn't help but trembled.

The Buddhist carver turned his head, with a rare fluctuation in his eyes, and asked Li You: "...Where did you find that finger?"

Li You answered truthfully: "It was found in the belly of the lion ape in Collapse Canyon."

The Buddha carver was silent for a moment and then said: "...Really?"

"It turned out to be in the belly of the ape, no wonder..."

Li You thought for a while and said, "In addition, we also got this." He took out the ring.

The Buddhist carver was stunned for a moment.He looked at the fingers and rings in Li You's hand and was silent for a while before saying:
"...You have found all that guy's relics."

"There are traces of resentment on this ring..."

The wolf said: "Buddha carving master..."

The Buddhist sculptor waved his hand: "I understand, it doesn't matter. Give them to me, and I will put them into your Renyi hands."

The wolf glanced at Li You, who nodded to him and handed him his knuckles and ring.

The wolf then handed these two items to the Buddha carving master and watched him take out the tools, slightly modify them, and put them into Ren Yi's hands.

After finishing, the Buddhist sculptor looked at the extra knuckle on Ren Yi's hand and was lost in thought for a moment.

Then, he patted Ren Yi's hand and said, "Okay, go ahead."

The wolf stood up, said nothing more, and simply said goodbye before planning to leave.

But before he went out, the Buddhist sculptor still warned him: "...I'm talking about you."

"That whistle must have a very sad...but extremely moving sound.

“…make good use of it.”

The wolf didn't turn around, just nodded silently, and then left with Li You.

The Buddha carving master looked at the direction in which the two people were leaving, and was lost in thought for a while. Then he became silent and continued to carve the Buddha.

……

Night is coming soon, and the moon shines coldly on the branches.

The Buddhist sculptor sat in the Buddhist temple, leaning on the wooden stake he used to carve the Buddha, and fell asleep.

Just like every night in the past, tonight, the Buddhist sculptor still suffered from the burning fire of resentment, which he could not escape even in his dreams.

Being entangled in flames day and night, even a stoic person like him couldn't help but show pain in his brows.

at this time.

A desolate, sad, but moving whistle sounded from outside the temple, lingering from far to near.

That whistle seemed to contain a thousand words, and it seemed to be just a relieved smile when old friends reunited.

Amidst the reverberating whistles, the Buddhist carver's frown finally relaxed.

Under the moonlight, this cold and desolate Buddhist temple finally felt warm.

……

Tianshou Pavilion.

Li You sat in his room, flipping through the ancient books that Yingma found.

In these books, there are records of ancient rituals for the earth god to absorb the fire of resentment.Unfortunately, as Yingma said, most of its contents are incomplete and the specific measures cannot be identified at all.

Li You just flipped through it, then gave up and put them away.

After that, he took out the military information that Genichiro sent him not long ago and started to read through it.

Reinforcements from the inner government are about to arrive.

It is said that after the two armies join together, the number of soldiers will be [-].

But Ashina's side was not completely ready yet.

So Li You is also considering that some things may have to be settled in advance.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Aggie opened the door and found that it was Eima and the wolf who came together.

Li You looked at the expressions of the two people and understood: "Just came back from the Buddhist temple?"

Eima nodded and sighed, but said nothing.The wolf said nothing.

Li You didn't mention what they were going to do, he just said:

"Wolf, I promised before that I would help you find the way to Fairyland. Now, we have gathered the keys to open the gate of the Palace of Origin."

Hearing this, both Eima and Wolf perked up.

As a result, Li You then said: "But now there is another problem in front of us."

The two were startled.

Li You handed over the general's love.

Yingma took a brief look and understood: "The reinforcements from the inner government...are actually so close."

"It seems... a war is about to begin."

Li You also said: "Yes, so now, we have two problems that need to be solved urgently."

"First, the strength of the Ashina Kingdom is still insufficient, and it is difficult to resist the attack of the Inner Army. Even if we rely on the geographical advantage, we can greatly weaken the numerical advantage of the Inner Army, but this will not change the situation that we are short of soldiers. .

"Second, if the war starts, then the Buddhist sculptor will definitely...be unable to suppress the fire of resentment. By then, he will turn into a ghost."

Eima and Wolf looked at each other with seriousness in their eyes.

Yingma said: "Then we..."

Li You nodded: "There is no need to delay, let's go to the Palace of Origin immediately! No matter what, at least solve one problem first."

Eima stood up immediately: "Master Kuro has not rested yet, I will go find him."

Li You and Lang also followed: "Let's go together!"

The group of people immediately found Jiulang in Qingzi's room.

Hearing that he had found all the keys to Xianxiang, Jiulang, who was originally a little sleepy, immediately became energetic and said happily: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's burn incense now!"

During this time, Kuro had nothing else to do but keep reading ancient books and looking for information in the castle tower.

Coupled with Eima's assistance, now he has a clear idea of ​​how to get to Xianxiang.

Li You took out the Fragrant Water Lotus and the Stone of Intense, took out a small part of each, and put them in the incense burner in the castle tower room.The wolf pulled out the Immortal Sword and handed it to Jiulang.

Jiuro gritted his teeth and reached out to press the blade of the Immortal Slash. His hand was immediately scratched and blood gushed out.

After he dropped the blood on the gravel and flower petals in the incense burner, a plume of cherry blossom-colored smoke suddenly rose from the burner.

Li You and Lang stepped forward and touched the smoke, and then they both heard a voice echoing in their minds.

The voice chanted to them: "The Palace of Source..."

Li You clapped his hands: "Very good! Next, just go to the shrine in Shuisheng Village to reach the Palace of Origin."

The wolf nodded: "Let's go."

Li You said: "Don't worry, there is one last thing."

……

Late at night, in the main hall of Xianfeng Temple.

Ronaldo, the armored warrior, looked at Li You and was a little surprised: "Master Immortal Peak?"

Li You nodded: "To be precise, it's the contemporary Immortal Peak Master. He has what I need, so I rushed to find him."

Ronaldo nodded and said, "I understand. If you need anything, you can call me anytime."

Li You also nodded in greeting, and then took Aiji and Yuzi into the secret passage behind the main hall.

At the entrance of the secret passage, the night demons transformed by Guying and Tai Daozu were waiting for them.

Seeing Li You and his party appear, Tai Daozu lowered his head slightly and motioned to follow him.

Li You and his party came to the deepest part of the wombai torii, where the body of the Immortal Peak Master in purple monk robes was laid.

In addition, there are actually many corpses of white-robed monks possessed by insects. They are all in a sitting position and are piled under the stone walls on both sides.

These corpses of monks are actually "incarnate Buddhas", that is, Buddha-like existences transformed from living people.

The last time he came, Li You ignored the monks around him, but this time, he came for them.

Under the guidance of Tai Daozu, Li You came to one of the living Buddhas. He first looked at the body of the living Buddha, which was the same as any other, and then said:

"Master Immortal Peak, you made it easy for me to find you."

The Buddha did not respond.

Li You chuckled: "Ignore me? That's fine. Then I'll move all the Buddhas in the cave out and line them up one by one to kill them. See if you react?"

After he finished speaking, the instant Buddha, which originally looked completely dead, finally moved and raised its head.

He sighed and said in an extremely hoarse and unpleasant voice: "...this donor, no matter what you ask for, there is nothing here that you are looking for."

"These Buddhas are all victims who sacrificed everything for the pursuit of truth. Please do not damage their golden bodies."

Li You didn't bother to beat around the bush with him and said directly: "You must know what I'm looking for. Tell me, where is the Hei Bu Shou Zhan Gate?"

The stiff body of the contemporary Immortal Peak master trembled, and his voice also fluctuated: "...You are looking for the Black Immortal Slash? Why? Didn't your companion already get the Tears of Worship?"

"If you want to cut off immortality, it is enough. Why bother opening the door?"

Li You said matter-of-factly: "There is only one thing like the Immortal Slash, and it can only be in the hands of specific people. How can it be enough?"

"Compared with worshiping tears, opening the door has different characteristics, but it is more convenient. Because it does not require the holder to have the power of immortality to use it, right?"

Master Xianfeng was silent.

Li You said: "I know you may be worried that I will abuse the power of opening the door, but think about it, I am a companion with this generation of Long Yin Qingzi, and I support him in severing his life."

"If I really abuse opening the door, won't I be hostile to him? So you don't have to worry. I want to open the door, but we are going to Fairyland soon, so I want to ensure the combat effectiveness."

Master Xianfeng was silent again, and then sighed: "Forget it, let me see if you have the ability to open the door."

"Please reach out."

Li You stretched out his hand as instructed, and Master Xianfeng tried hard to reach out his right hand and touched Li You's hand.

In an instant, the Master of Immortal Peak was trembling all over!
He fell back suddenly and let out a scream!
Li You was shocked: "Are you okay, old man?"

Master Xianfeng struggled to get up, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and said:
"Open the door and store it in the secret compartment on the top of the five-story pagoda! Just go and get it!"

Li You was a little surprised and didn't know what he was doing, but now that he knew where the door was, he didn't worry too much.

"Thanks, old man."

Li You immediately took Yuzi and Aiji and left.

After they left, Master Xianfeng looked at the hand he had just touched Li You, and it was still trembling.

"What are those lights that fall on him..."
