Day and night tour

Chapter 185 Puppet Map
"Magic weapons also require talent?"

This was the first time Zhou Xuan heard of it.

He had never seen any magical weapons, but he had seen forbidden weapons, such as his sister's tattoo box.

In his understanding, as long as you get the magic weapon, you can use it. It doesn't matter who uses it, right?
"If you only use one magic weapon, or if the intervals between uses are long, then you don't need any talent.
But the disciples of the City God have more than one magical weapon hanging on their bodies. They use many magical weapons at short intervals, which depends a lot on their Dao Hen talent. "

Gu Ling explained: "City Gods are more inclined to Taoism. After accumulating incense for a long time, there will be Tao marks on their bones. Some people have deep Tao marks, while others have shallow ones. Those with deep Tao marks can activate more powerful magic tools, and the number of magic tools they can activate can be shortened.

You are in a great advantage today. Lu Yusheng came to the metropolis to drink, so he would not have brought many magical instruments with him. Otherwise, with his temper, even if I were here, I would have fought you fiercely. "

"It turns out that he relies on many magical instruments."

Zhou Xuan was even less afraid.

Xuejing's super strong perception is the nemesis of magic weapons. If his magic weapons are taken away, Lu Yusheng will lose his greatest reliance.

"There is one of Lu Yusheng's magic weapons that needs more attention."

Gu Ling had already closed the door of the lounge, and walked with Zhou Xuan and Lu Mingkun while talking: "There are twelve incense masters in the city god. The word 'holding' has four incense, holding armor, holding flags, holding swords, and holding seals, which correspond to four magic tools respectively.

Lu Yusheng is the armor-bearing incense master. He holds a "City God Armor" in his hand. This armor is magical. When worn on the body, it can resist many magical instruments and methods. It is invulnerable to water and fire, and is impenetrable to the strongest objects.
If he doesn't wear it, the City God Armor will become his killing puppet.
To use the divine armor, one needs to ask for it from the hall, and only after the hall master, Qingfeng, and the monument king agree, can one wield the armor."

"If that's the case, then I'm not afraid of his armor."

Zhou Xuan realized something was wrong. To use the City God Armor, the required procedures were very strict.

I'm afraid it won't work if I take up arms and seek revenge.

“Although one can only wear the armor when performing missions, I know Lu Yusheng. After completing missions, he will not return the City God Armor until he kills his enemy.

The City God has a mission recently. "Hunger" has caused many tragedies in Mingjiang Prefecture. He has a reason to take up arms at any time."

"If an enemy comes, we will stop him; if a flood comes, we will drown him. We will not be afraid."

Zhou Xuan calmly opened the passenger door and let Gu Ling get in.

Since there were living people around, Yun Ziliang didn't dare to show his head in the painting, otherwise it would be too scary.

……

"You really don't want me to stay by your side all day for the next two days?"

"Need not."

Zhou Xuan rejected Gu Ling's kindness and said, "By the way, I have two things to do recently. First, I want the Blood Well Human Brain from the Bone Society. Second, I want to go to the library of the Bone Society to find some ancient books. Can you help me?"

“The second thing is that Li Chengfeng and I will work together. The problem is not big, but it will take time.

As for the blood well and human brain, I don't have that much authority, and neither does Teacher Li."

"Then let's go into the library first." Zhou Xuan said.

"Yeah." Gu Ling agreed.

The car drove to the door of Gu Ling's villa and stopped.

"You really don't need my protection?" Gu Ling asked again.

"Really, there's no need to be afraid of Lu Yusheng." Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "But don't forget to settle your dominoes and your bill."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. I'll go back to the house." Gu Ling walked towards the villa.

"Reiko, wait a minute."

"Why, you regret it, or do you still want me to protect you?"

"Do you have any signed records? Give me two. I have an old friend who likes to listen to them." Zhou Xuan said.

Gu Ling smiled brilliantly and said, "It's my luck that you love listening. I'll get it for you."

After a while, Gu Ling returned to the front of the car and handed Zhou Xuan a bank draft filled with "80,000 yuan", a domino with "The Woman Nailed to the Wall" engraved on the front, and a brown paper bag.

There is a vinyl record in the paper package.

"This record was recorded by Chiyo Company. It's of very high quality and has been around for a long time. Ordinary record players will damage it. It's better to use a Victory record player to listen to it."

At this moment, Gu Ling looked like a high-quality idol who diligently signed autographs for her fans, not like a witch at all.

"Thank you." Zhou Xuan took the promissory note and the paper package, then held up the dominoes and said to Gu Ling, "The signature portrait on your dominoes is a bit like your personality, very cruel."

"When the dominoes break, I'll know you're in trouble and I'll come to you as soon as possible. Of course, you have to hold on for me to come - if you can't hold on and die, I won't be sad for you.

You also said that I am cruel. "

Gu Ling said tit for tat.

"You have a strong desire for revenge. Thank you for the money and the record. See you later."

Zhou Xuan started the car and left the villa.

After watching Zhou Xuan leave, Gu Ling returned to the house, stood on the balcony, and admired the night view.

If there is nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world.

Gu Ling's incense was rekindled, and her mind was free of worries. She felt that the air was sweet.

"Treasure this beautiful night of flowers and moon. It is better to be together than to be apart. And cherish your youth. Don't waste it."

She couldn't help but sing the song faster, singing each word in a relaxed manner.

……

"Hey hey hey."

In the painting, Yun Ziliang is holding a brown paper bag containing records and smiling naively.

"Don't smile so hard that your mouth breaks." Zhou Xuan advised Yun Ziliang while driving.

“The songs of ancient singers sound like they have soul.”

"You haven't even seen the more soulful scene, that room full of souls."

Whenever Zhou Xuan recalled the scene of being "swallowed by evil spirits", he felt that he had a serious psychological trauma.

"Lao Yun, don't be too happy too soon. Having records alone is useless. We need a record player. Do we have a record player in our store?" Lu Mingkun said.

"Yes, I also need a record player. We don't have one in our store. Can I borrow one from Dongshi Street?"

"Do you know how expensive a record player is? It's something only rich people can afford..."

"Fifth Senior Brother, you can actually borrow it. Old Yang has it at home." Zhou Xuan reminded.

The richest man in Dongshi Street is the landlord Lao Yang.

"Well, I heard it today. Old Yang is still playing mahjong at this hour."

As they are all regulars at the card room, Yun Ziliang knows Lao Yang’s daily routine very well.

……

Da Si Xi Mahjong Hall,

When Zhou Xuan and his group found Lao Yang, he was not playing mahjong, but scolding Lao He in the corner.

"Lao He, please help me accumulate some blessings. The kidnapper hasn't come to settle accounts with you in ten days. Just run away and stop renting my house."

"Hurry back to your hometown and hide in the mountains. Don't come out. No one can find you, let alone kidnappers."

Lao He was scolded so much that he dared not speak and kept his head down.

"Lao Yang."

Zhou Xuan greeted Lao Yang.

"Hey, Brother Zhou, you guys haven't slept yet? Lao Yun, what are you doing here? Go home quickly."

"I'm coming, why do you care about me?"

Zhou Xuan was even puzzled. Why did Yun Ziliang and Lao Yang get so angry after just one encounter? Aren't they playing cards together?

But soon, he figured it out.

These two are in competition!

It’s hard to say who the card king of Dongshi Street is, but the one who is the last in playing cards will be decided between Lao Yang and Lao Yun.

Where there is competition, there is naked hatred.

The competition between the two was extremely fierce, and the war even spread outside the arena, where they would fight whenever they met.

"Stop arguing." Zhou Xuan tried to stop the fight and asked Lao Yang to borrow a record player.

"Record player? Who wants to borrow it?"

"I'll borrow it!" Yun Ziliang patted his chest.

Zhou Xuan was very upset. Old Yang was against you, but you insisted on speaking up for him.
This record player is not available for borrowing.

"You want to borrow it, right? Come on, go to my room and get it. It's a Victory record player. It's so expensive that I can't bear to listen to it."

Lao Yang was so excited that he drove Lao He back home: "Lao He, remember what I said, it's for your own good."

After that, Lao Yang took Zhou Xuan and his group to move the record player home.

On the way, Zhou Xuan asked, "Lao Yang, I don't quite understand. You and Lao Yun don't get along, so why did you lend him the record player?"

Not only do you want to borrow, you should also choose the good ones!
"As the old saying goes, playing with things can ruin one's ambition. Let that old fellow Yun Ziliang indulge in listening to music. I will hurry up and improve my card skills. By then, I will be able to defeat him!"

Zhou Xuan: “…”

I've only heard of the top students competing with each other, but can you two losers compete with me?

"Then why did you persuade Lao He to go back to his hometown?" Zhou Xuan asked again.

"Didn't Lao He offend the kidnapper some time ago? He sold the news about the kidnapper to Liaogui, and the kidnapper wants to settle accounts with him! It's been a while, and since the kidnapper hasn't come yet, I'll let him go back to his hometown as soon as possible. Maybe the kidnapper has already forgotten about him." Lao Yang said.

Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "What I mean is, why didn't you persuade Lao He to go home a few days ago?"

"The kidnapper said at the time that if Lao He dared to run away, he would be killed immediately, so I didn't dare to persuade him to leave.

Now that the storm has died down, it’s time to let him go.”

"You'd better stop trying to persuade him. The kidnapper is so mean and is always keeping an eye on Lao He, but he just can't spare the time to deal with him for the time being."

Zhou Xuan knew that there was a fang ghost standing behind Lao He, so if Guaizi wanted to take action, he would have to gather some strength.

"It's no matter whether I persuade him or not. If I persuade him, he will be killed when he goes out, and I will be blamed. The neighbors will definitely say that if I hadn't persuaded him, he wouldn't have died.

If I don’t persuade them, the kidnappers will really come in, and Lao He will die, and a lot of things in Dongshi Street will be destroyed. They are all my property and my money. "

Old Yang sighed.

"Just be depressed by yourself. I've moved the record player away." Zhou Xuan held the record player in both hands.

"Move it, move it, and send it back when you get tired of playing with it." said Lao Yang.

"I'll order a new one tomorrow, and I'll return the record player to you when it arrives."

……

The record player was moved back to the store. Zhou Xuan had experience in playing with record players, so he opened the brown paper package.

Put the record in and crank the handle.

Gu Ling's passionate voice came from the record player.

"So Gu Ling's singing voice was so hot in the past?"

"It's more soulful." Yun Ziliang crossed his legs, listened to the song, and gently patted his knees with his hands.

Xiao Fuzi and Lu Mingkun also listened quietly.

Accompanied by the singing, everyone seemed to have entered a truly beautiful world.

……

As the sky brightened, Zhou Xuan woke up, not naturally, but because he was woken up by Gu Ling's singing.

He dressed and went downstairs, scolding Yun Ziliang: "Old Yun, you should have a little bit of kindness. You are singing here so early in the morning."

"Hehe." Yun Ziliang smiled innocently.

He's really obsessed.

Zhou Xuan opened the shop door, said hello to Sister Cui who was cooking broth, and went back to the shop to do tattoos.

I did two tattoos last night. The incense was burning non-stop.
Up to now, the speed at which incense is burning has almost slowed down.

At this time, Zhou Xuan's incense had burned nearly four inches.

According to the normal progress of the tattoo hall, Zhou Xuan has already tattooed four incense sticks, almost five.

He held the bone tooth, and it seemed to have a strange sense of familiarity with him.

"It's been four incense sticks. Gu Ya and I..."

Zhou Xuan placed the bone tooth half a meter away and stretched out his hand.

call!
The bone tooth moved and flew towards Zhou Xuan.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Xuan was overjoyed. He could finally do what Senior Brother Lu did with his bamboo leaf knife.

He placed the bone tooth one meter away and waved again.

call!
Bone Fang struck back again.

"It's a bit interesting." "Stupid." Lao Yun complained.

Zhou Xuan placed the bone tooth two meters away again. This time, no matter how Zhou Xuan waved, the bone tooth did not fly into his hand.

"It's too far away."

Lao Yun explained: "All the halls that use tools as weapons have similar incense methods. The fourth incense method is called the magic weapon counterattack. Like you storytellers, when you have a higher level, you can also use the wake-up stick to counterattack. The principle is the same.

However, there is a distance for the counterattack. As your level of incense becomes higher, the distance of the counterattack will be longer.

When the number of incense sticks is four, the return distance is within ten meters, and when the number of incense sticks is five, it is fifteen meters, and so on.
However, your Four Incense Sticks are fake. Although the method can be used, the return distance is greatly reduced. I estimate it is only about one meter."

"One meter is fine."

Zhou Xuan was not depressed.

His level of two incense sticks was good enough to make Bone Fang fight back, although the distance was a bit short.

He was in a good mood. He walked one meter in the direction of the bone teeth and waved his hand.

Bone Teeth then returned his hand.

He continued to do tattoos.

"Why are you getting a tattoo?" Yun Ziliang asked.

"Make a picture of the gods."

"You figured it out again?"

"That's for sure."

Zhou Xuan was very confident in his speech this time, as this "Heavenly God Picture" was indeed something he figured out himself.

"I'll see the effect later." Yun Ziliang closed his eyes and listened to the song again.

Before getting the tattoo, Zhou Xuan looked at his right hand carefully to make sure every detail was correct.

Tattooing pictures of gods relies on tattooing the image of gods on human skin.

Each tattoo has its own unique needlework style.

After Zhou Xuan felt the aura of "Tianjun" and "Zhuyou" yesterday, he understood how this needle movement method was generated.

"It's the direction of the aura when the god appears."

For example, when the God of War appears, the surrounding environment first takes on the form of the spiritual world. Therefore, when tattooing the white tiger head, the outline of the pattern should be tattooed first, and it should not be tattooed solidly. The strength of the lines should be weak to express the feeling of the spiritual world.

Then came the call from the Soul Pastoral City in the Spirit World, which corresponded to the tattoo of the white tiger head, and the tiger's mouth...

Found the pattern.
Zhou Xuan was able to stab out the hand of the Nuo god.

The hand of the Nuo God first radiated a light blue glow, then the fingers began to become extremely powerful, and then the divine aura began to surge in the palm of the hand...

According to the tattoo process, the outline is first tattooed vaguely, and then the fingers are tattooed with strength...

Zhou Xuan first conceived and perfected the needle-moving method, and then meditated on the "Hand of the Nuo God" in his mind.

of course,

This plan was just Zhou Xuan's speculation and self-construction, and it did not succeed the first time.

As soon as the five fingers of the Nuo god's hand were extended, the human skin began to burn.

"Wrong method?"

Yun Ziliang asked from the side.

“Adjust it.”

Zhou Xuan adjusted the force of the finger piercing even stronger, and the bone tooth needle was almost able to pierce through the human skin.

This time, the skin did not burn after the tattoo on the finger, but when the tattoo reached the palm, the skin started to burn again.

“Adjust it.”

Zhou Xuan was immersed in the world of tattoos and couldn't extricate himself.

I worked from early morning to morning, and from morning to noon. I didn't even hear Xiao Fuzi calling for dinner. I worked until three in the afternoon...

"Is the young master possessed?" Xiao Fuzi asked Yun Ziliang.

"You don't understand. If you are not crazy, you can't survive. Those who can achieve great things are all stubborn people. How many human skins has he burned?" Yun Ziliang asked.

"Fourteen." Lu Mingkun said.

"Fourteen times I have failed, I am afraid there is little hope... huh?"

Yun Ziliang had almost given up on Zhou Xuan, but unexpectedly, a powerful aura turned into an invisible water wave and hit him in the face.

He squatted down subconsciously, and saw Lu Mingkun squatting down as well.

"You felt it too." Yun Ziliang asked Lu Mingkun.

Lu Mingkun did not answer him, but pointed at Zhou Xuan.

Yun Ziliang looked over and saw Zhou Xuan standing at the door of the store. His body seemed to have grown bigger, and his eyes were full of wildness of conquest.

"go with!"

Zhou Xuan swung his hand, and the bone tooth flew out like a rocket, leaving a streak of white light in the air and nailed to the wall of the passage.

"Back!"

Zhou Xuan hooked his little finger, and the bone tooth that was seven or eight meters away from him was pulled out and returned to his hand.

"This momentum is truly at the level of four incense sticks."

Yun Ziliang said.

"I feel it." Lv Mingkun also said: "Junior brother's God Map is really successful."

Zhou Xuan stood in front of the door again, looking down at the pocket watch in his hand.

His pocket watch ticked away, and he stood there in a daze.

Nine minutes later, Zhou Xuan closed the pocket watch cover and put it in his pocket.

"Less than ten minutes."

Zhou Xuan's eyes returned to normal, and he said to Yun Ziliang and Lu Mingkun with a smile: "It's done! It's done! The tattoo of the God of Heaven has activated my incense and increased the incense to four sticks. Unfortunately, it only lasted a short time."

"Xiao Zhou, you're still feeling sorry for it?" Yun Ziliang stamped his feet in anger. "From two to four incense sticks, ordinary people would need to save up more than ten years of incense, but you can do it with just a tattoo. You still feel sorry for it? I think you are hateful!"

"Junior brother, next time you have a chance, draw me a picture of a god. I also want to improve."

Lu Mingkun witnessed the power of the tattoo with his own eyes, and he began to feel itchy.

"You'll never have a chance in your life." Yun Ziliang waved his hands at Lu Mingkun.

The fifth brother was not convinced and said, "Lao Yun, what do you mean by this? I usually just like to mock you, but you actually cursed me."

"Old Five, you haven't figured it out yet, but Xiao Zhou's tattoos are all of people above the sky."

Yun Ziliang counted on his fingers and said to Lu Mingkun: "Look, Xiao Zhou has had six tattoos since he realized the soul map. They are the Buddha of Picking Flowers, the Heavenly Official, the Lord of Destruction, the Blessing of the Buddha, and the Empress of the Concubine. The wordless heavenly book is the wordless heavenly master of the Heavenly Eye Temple. These six are all god-level figures above the sky.

The White Walker behind your coroner has never been to the sky, so he is not worthy of appearing in Xiao Zhou’s tattoo.”

"Now that you put it that way, I feel much better. It's not my fault, it's really the incompetence of the White Walkers behind the scenes."

Lu Mingkun breathed a sigh of relief. The coroner was just a small gang, and the White Walkers behind him were indeed not worthy of being compared with the gods above the sky.

"It's okay, Senior Brother Lu. Who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe there will be something better."

After Zhou Xuan comforted Lu Mingkun for a while, he went upstairs.

"Li Chengfeng requested the high priest to come."

It just so happened that Zhou Xuan wanted to meet Li Chengfeng and give him some information.

Zhou Xuan sat on the bed and entered the secret realm of Shenqi.

In the secret realm, the skeleton of a man formed by the bones of a wine-boiling monk, only the head floated out last time, but now the chest has floated out.

Zhou Xuan walked over and touched under the water, but there was nothing.

"What the hell is this skeleton man?"

Zhou Xuan asked Heishui.

The black water waves were calm and unresponsive.

Zhou Xuan couldn't get an answer, so he had to walk towards Feiyue and descended into Li Chengfeng's body.

Li Chengfeng was sitting in the office.

"High Priest, I will report the three things you asked me to do.
The coroner's residence is still being investigated.
There has been progress on the library matter and you can enter the library tomorrow.

The matter of Hungry is still under investigation, and the person who took away Hungry's snake tumor is still missing."

"I see. By the way, Lao Li, you have to be careful recently. The Heavenly Official has issued a divine revelation to kill you. The four great priests of the Bone Elders' Association are all plotting this. The god Gu Ling revealed this news to me."

"They're going to kill me?"

Li Chengfeng was very emotional.

He dedicated his whole life to the Bone Elders Association and taught many students. He dare not say that he had made any contributions, but he worked diligently for decades, so he must have worked hard. But in the end, he had to lose his life.
How could he not be angry?

"Old Li, you can save your life if you submit your resignation to the Bone Elders Association now."

"The earliest will be the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is the monthly gathering of the Bone Elders Association. Since they want to kill me, they will definitely do it at the gathering. I will resign at the gathering."

"You should spread the word that you want to resign in the next two days. The louder you spread the word, the higher your chances of saving your life. In the next two days, I will think of a way for you to save your life without having to quit the Bone Elders Association."

"Ah."

Li Chengfeng was a little discouraged. The Bone Elders' Society was a behemoth. Even if the young master had the ability, how could he fight against the Bone Elders' Society?

Not to mention that killing him was an order from the Heavenly Official.

"That's it for now. I'll try my best to find a solution for you."

Zhou Xuan exited the descending state.

……

Zhou Xuan is very troubled now. Li Chengfeng is a loyal believer of the Blood Well and also the first believer he can descend upon.

It is reasonable for him to protect Li Chengfeng.

"I can't think of a good solution for now, so I'll go learn some new tattoo designs first."

Zhou Xuan crossed out an opportunity to "return to the hall" and entered the Totem Hall.

The blood tree began to flourish again.

Zhou Xuan sat on the cushion, the branches of the blood tree wrapped around his hands, and he was taught by heart.

This time,
Three more tattoos.

Golden armor, antler beetle, and tattered robe.

But this time the tattoos were different from totems, as they were all tattooed on the skin of the dead.

……

“This is a puppet diagram.”

Yun Ziliang told Zhou Xuan.

"The golden armor is the armor of the city god, the stag-horned longhorn beetle is the first alien insect of the Gu God clan, and the tattered robe is called the remnant robe, which is a god-level alien ghost, and it is also above the sky."

The three pictures correspond to three god-level figures - City God, Gu God, and Remnant Robe.

"As for the puppet tattoo, as the name suggests, it means to tattoo a corpse and make the corpse become your puppet."

Yun Ziliang said.

Zhou Xuan did not go to make the puppet diagram, he was thinking about how to help Li Chengfeng.

But I can't come up with an idea.

It just so happened that he was going to order a Victory record player, so he drove out with Lu Mingkun to change his mind and look for some inspiration.

……

Under the shade of the trees at Lead Cemetery.

Luo Yunzhou commanded the disciples in the hall to perform an autopsy on the bones of "Spring Dream".

Luo Yunzhou was the second in command of the coroners, and sitting next to him was Mo Tingsheng.

Mo Tingsheng is the kidnapper's white paper fan, responsible for the daily affairs of the hall.

He was not a well-known figure, but with his back against the main hall, his aura was so overwhelming that it suffocated Luo Yunzhou.

"Mr. Mo, are we going to kill Lao He tonight? They have a lot of Liao ghosts." Luo Yunzhou asked cautiously.

"As we agreed last time, we kidnappers are not in a position to do anything, so you coroners will do it for us. Don't worry, we are not sending you to die in vain. The City God will send someone."

"Who's coming?"

"The incense master is Lu Yusheng."

ps: Good brothers, I updated a big chapter, muah.
