Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 380 The Way of the Priest
Although it did not reach the C-level creation that Xiao Ran hoped for, it was pretty good to be able to get a D-level one.

But it still needs to be renamed.

Xiao Ran thought about it for a moment and gave him a new name.

"Let's call her Sanli. It suits you well."

"Three centimeters for a skill, there is no better deal in the world."

Xiao Ran grinned and teased.

"What do you mean by three centimeters?" Qiu Kui asked curiously.

Xiao Ran was stunned, forgetting that there was an okra beside him, and hurriedly explained: "Oh, three centimeters tall."

After saying that, Xiao Ran suddenly thought of a question: [Outrageous Pill Box] + Lucky Guy = Three Centimeters.

What if a woman eats it?
Ok……

It seems that the side effects of this [Outrageous Pill Box] can still be avoided, but this is normal, otherwise why is it called the Outrageous Pill Box?

After completing the naming, the Senbei in front of him, no, it should be renamed Sanli, slowly stood up straight, his originally dull look disappeared, and his black and white eyes scanned the surroundings left and right.

Then he knelt down in front of Xiao Ran: "Sanli... bow... to the master... I... I... thank you..."

"This guy actually developed intelligence?"

Xiao Ran was startled by Sanli's actions, and what surprised him most was that this guy could still speak.

Even though he was stumbling while speaking, this guy was actually speaking.

What does this mean? ?

This guy is dead except for his body, but he has a new life. From now on, he is no longer an ordinary corpse slave. He has his own thoughts, and his combat power will definitely not be much lower than that of a beginner of the same level.

Xiao Ran walked around Sanli and asked, "Do you have any memory of your life now?"

Sanli frowned, thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "No, I... was killed by a little Taoist priest... His sword... was very fast."

Hearing Sanli's words, Xiao Ran nodded. He was not surprised. The memory of a person in the last second before death is very deep. It is the only scene that can be remembered before the mind stops.

“How do you feel now??”

Sanli looked at his six arms and began to move his body: "Great, it's never been this good."

Xiao Ran took out the [Chiwen Double Fire Stick] from the space and threw it to him: "Try it."

Sanli took the stick, and traces of curse patterns appeared on his arm, and he activated the curse patterns easily.

Then he tried waving it around the room a few times.

Maybe the room was too small and he couldn't move freely, so he waved it a few times and then gave it back to Xiao Ran.

“I like using a knife.”

As expected, even though this guy's original swordsmanship was taken away by me, his obsession with the sword was still deep and could not be replaced.

"Let's go to the back yard."

Xiao Ran took out the [Yin Bing Gourd] and put all the remaining corpses in the room into it.

Then just put the gourd away, which can save you a lot of space.

When they arrived at the backyard, Xiao Ran gave him the swords that he had prepared for Senbei.

There were originally six swords, but one was damaged and one was lost in Mengchi, so now there are only four swords left.

Sanli held the katana, and immediately looked as if he couldn't let it go, then he held the four-edged sword, and a faint red light appeared on his palm, covering the blade.

That is the professional skill of [Spirit Attachment], which is strengthening.

Strengthen: Ability to enhance an item to a certain extent and randomly add an attribute that matches the item.

The four blades were originally engraved with curse patterns, and now after being enhanced, they were flashing red light, which was very dazzling.

“Swish, swish, swish!!”

Sanli swung the sword in his hand and slashed through the air quickly, making a sharp sound of breaking wind.

The four swords formed a wind wall with blades that were invisible to the naked eye around Sanli. From a distance, only the flashing red light on the blades could be seen, which was extremely terrifying.

"Amazing!"

This scene made Qiu Kui, who was sitting next to them, open his eyes wide and said with envy.

With the blessing of professional attributes, Sanli's strength, agility and physique have all been greatly improved. The four swords are getting faster and faster, and they actually create many afterimages in the air.

Xiao Ran's swordsmanship is now extraordinary, and his understanding of swordsmanship has far surpassed Sanli. Looking at him wielding four swords, she secretly commented in her heart.

"Although his sword skills are crude, he already has the feeling of being at the top of the class. If it were six swords, there wouldn't be many people who could beat him in sword skills except for the extraordinary ones."

Although this statement is a bit arrogant, it is also true. After all, the advantage of six long swords is simply too great. When fighting against others, it is equivalent to one against six. Unless you are extraordinary, you are really no match.

Xiao Ran looked back at Qiu Kui, put his hand on Qiu Kui's head and asked with a smile: "So who do you think is more powerful, me or San Li?"

"It must be the master who is amazing. Sister Liu said that you are amazing."

Qiu Kui looked up, looking as if this question was not difficult for him.

"Oh, did Sister Liu say that?"

"Well, Sister Liu said that unless you meet a master above C level, basically no one can stop you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile. After all, being praised by others was something to be proud of.

"Three cents!"

At this time, Xiao Ran turned around and called Sanli, then took out his [Guillotine] from the space and threw it towards Sanli: "Try this..."

Sanli stretched out his hand instinctively to take it, but when his hand tried to hold the knife, fear suddenly appeared on his face, and he quickly raised his sword to block it.

With a "bang", the guillotine was blocked and stuck heavily into the ground. The iron ring on the blade made a clanging sound, as if it was extremely dissatisfied with Sanli's action.

Now Sanli's eyes were even more frightened, and he looked at Xiao Ran with embarrassment.

"Master, this... knife... I... can't use it." "Can't use it?"

Xiao Ran walked to the [Guillotine] in confusion and pulled the knife out of the soil.

The guillotine was held in Xiao Ran's hand and he immediately became quiet.

Xiao Ran waved it casually in the air twice and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Why can't I use it? Can't I even touch it?"

Xiao Ran looked at Sanli in confusion. He didn't expect Sanli to use this. After all, this thing was his main weapon. He just wanted Sanli to try out the ability of the new profession [Exorcist].

But Sanli's head was as small as a rattle, staring at the knife in Xiao Ran's hand with a secretive look on his face.

"He doesn't dare. Your knife is a guillotine, and it is full of wronged souls and evil spirits. This knife is his natural nemesis. How could he dare to touch it? He wouldn't even have time to dodge."

At this time, Liumu, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly spoke.

"Hey, you're still here."

Xiao Ran turned around and looked at Liumu. If this guy hadn't spoken, he would have forgotten that he was still kneeling here.

Six eyes: ...

However, this guy's words aroused Xiao Ran's interest: "Go on."

Liumu had been kneeling here for so long, thinking about his value to Xiao Ran.

He knew very well that if he could not prove his worth, the other party might really turn him into a dog.

Seeing the opportunity at this moment, I naturally wanted to perform as if I had found a life-saving straw.

He looked at the guillotine in Xiao Ran's hand, examined it carefully, and then said, "This is a good knife."

After saying that, he looked up at Xiao Ran, swallowed his saliva and continued: "You should be a shady person, from the executioner lineage?"

"go on."

Xiao Ran did not express his opinion and just asked Liumu to tell him everything he knew.

"Among the four Yin elements, the executioner actually appeared the earliest. Their lineage follows the path of killing and sacrifice. The knife in your hand looks like a blade for killing, but it is actually a priest's knife."

"Sacrificial knife?"

Xiao Ran had heard of this statement, but he had only heard it from others and had never really understood the details.

Seeing the doubt in Xiao Ran's eyes, Liumu smiled. He knew that his chance had come.

"Beheading was a form of punishment used by priests in the earliest times. Starting from the Xia Dynasty, people began to behead their prisoners as sacrifices to the gods. I have been to the capital of the Shang Dynasty. Did you know that every time the Shang Dynasty conquered the surrounding tribes, they would take the captured prisoners back to offer as sacrifices to the gods?"

When Liumu talked about the past, a rare look of reminiscence appeared on his face.

The streets were wet at that time, and there were beheaded and dismembered bodies on both sides.

Every household takes pride in offering sacrifices.

Especially the sacrifices of the nobles, one of their lives was worth 1000 slaves, and a pure and innocent noble girl was worth lives.

Sometimes, to complete a huge priestly task, not only slaves are needed, but also the sacrifice of the country's noble family bloodline.

"Unfortunately, that glorious era did not last long. After the last emperor Xin abolished human sacrifice, it became difficult to see such a feast anymore."

Liumu seemed to realize that he had gone a bit too far when he said this, and looked up at Xiao Ran.

"Your sword is also a sacrificial sword. Since it is a priest's sword, you should have a deity to preside over the sacrifice. This way, you can get the greatest benefit every time you kill. But right now, it seems that you have not performed any sacrifice."

"Priest spirit."

Xiao Ran frowned: "But I haven't heard the elders in my family say that."

"Hehe, either your family is not a direct descendant, or your elders deliberately concealed the truth. Killing people without offering sacrifices is equivalent to killing in vain. No wonder when I was down there, I heard that the Four Yin Sects had long been in name only."

"Is that so? Then which god should I offer sacrifice to?"

Xiao Ran asked with a look of sudden enlightenment.

Liumu's eyes turned and he gave Xiao Ran a flattering smile: "Um... can you let me stand up first?"

"Get up."

Xiao Ran nodded, and Liumu felt as if he had come back to life. He stood up from the ground, stretched his body a little, and then continued, "There is no specific one. Most of them worship the killing god Bai Qi, or the prison god Gao Yao."

At this point, Liumu paused and said, "However, they are priests of human gods. You can also choose to be a priest of other gods, such as the underworld god. You are a yin person, so being a priest of the underworld god is the most suitable."

When Liumu said this, he looked up at Xiao Ran, thought for a moment and said, "For example, some gods in the underworld, such as the ghost king, are good."

Jingjie, also known as the Master of Burning Face, is called the King of Ghosts, but he is the real Jingjie Emperor, the Taoist leader of the underworld.

In terms of rank, he is at the same level as the Five Ghost Emperors, or even half a level higher. His status is second only to the Emperor of Fengdu.

Xiao Ran was a little moved when he heard this, and looked at Liu Mu and asked, "So if I want to become a priest, what should I do?"

"It's simple. Take a bath, burn incense, set up a table with offerings, place the sword in your hand horizontally on it, and then place the spirit tablet at the main offering position. It's best to have an offering item. If it's Emperor Jie, you can choose carbonized lightning-struck wood."

"Oh, I see."

Xiao Ran nodded. He didn't expect there were so many explanations.

"Yes, the more powerful the deity you officiate is, the better the feedback you will get. But there is one thing. If the deity you officiate is too powerful, people may not care about you. That's why I asked you to officiate at Emperor Zuojie because he has few followers and your chances of success are high."

At this point, Liumu hastily added: "Of course, if you can come up with a corresponding main offering, you can also refer to other gods. In short, the more main offerings you have and the greater their origins, the better."

After hearing what Liumu said, Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time.

"I don't have any lightning-struck wood, and it would be troublesome to find one. The more of it the better..."

Two things popped up in Xiao Ran's mind for some unknown reason, one was the Taishan stone, and the other was his own Tongyou Seal.

"The weight of these two things should be enough. If you want to offer a sacrifice, then you should offer a big one..."

Xiao Ran couldn't help but have an idea in his heart: "Sacrifice to Mount Tai!"
