Chapter 16: Trickster
Lin Yao didn't care about Xiaoqing's threat.

He walked around Qingfeng and sat on the steps at the door.

He held his chin and looked ahead.

Seeing him like this, Xiaoqing put away Qingfeng and stood quietly beside him.

a long time.

Lin Yao spoke softly.

"How many floors does Leifeng Pagoda have?"

"Ninth floor."

"Break through?"

"I almost died on the sixth floor last time."

Lin Yao nodded and continued with his original movements.

Xiaoqing didn't disturb him, and the two of them stayed in this position for an unknown amount of time.

Until Lin Yao's stomach growled.

"I'm a little hungry, is there anything to eat here?"

He stood up, and then was pressed against the door by a beautiful figure.

Xiaoqing looked at him coldly, and drew out the Qingfeng sword, piercing Lin Yao's shoulder.

"There's nothing we can do now. Even you can only reach the sixth floor. Even if we add Black Mountain Old Ghost and Xiao Qian, after we pass the sixth floor, what are we going to do with the remaining three floors?"

Lin Yao was also a little helpless. This place was different from other places.

If you can't find another way out, you can only force your way through the ninth floor, but in the end, it is still unknown whether you can get out.

Xiaoqing slowly let go of Lin Yao.

"When will your leg heal?"

"It will be fine after absorbing Nie Xiaoqian's curse."

The blue sword was sheathed, and Xiaoqing glanced at Lin Yao's shoulder.

"Sorry, I was impulsive."

"You want to avenge White Snake, and I also want to continue living."

Xiaoqing nodded and remembered something.

"In the beginning, the scholar was accompanied by a wild Taoist priest. I will go there again later and bring back the books he left behind. They may be helpful to your practice."

As she spoke, she pinched Lin Yao's wrist, and the demonic energy flowed into his body, stopping only when it reached his heart.

"What a domineering curse."

Lin Yao's mind moved, and he asked.

"Can you untie it?"

Things went against her wishes and Xiaoqing shook her head.

"This curse is extremely powerful. As long as you don't trigger the mark planted by the caster, it won't take effect."

When Lin Yao heard this, he recalled the scene when the curse broke out in the wedding hall.

"The Weaver Girl asked me to hand over the marriage certificate so that we wouldn't have to get married. After the ceremony, the curse has remained silent until now. It seems she had a trick up her sleeve."

Lin Yao stretched and felt that he could take a short rest here.

"Wait here. I'll get you something to eat."

Xiaoqing paused as she was about to leave.

"If the Black Mountain Ghost bothers you again, just tell me."

"She's still of some use."

Xiaoqing nodded slightly and then left.

Lin Yao leaned against a pillar beside him and looked up at the sky.

A gray fog covered the sky.

That is the second floor of Leifeng Pagoda.

"Nine-story Leifeng Pagoda?"

He murmured softly, in this world, only if you have strength can you have the capital to survive.

Lin Yao stretched out his hand, and there was a purple-black spell on the palm of his hand.

This was what he absorbed from Nie Xiaoqian's body, and he could vaguely feel that it had some connection with the Black Mountain Old Ghost.

Lin Yao did not completely absorb the curse in his body.

After all, now is not the time to break up with the Black Mountain ghost.

Besides, Nie Xiaoqian’s position is not clear, and Lin Yao does not want to let her completely escape control now.

"The curse in my body seems to be constantly strengthening it?"

The control of the Black Mountain Old Ghost in the Palm Curse has disappeared. Lin Yao can feel that he can now decide Nie Xiaoqian's life or death with just a thought.

He touched his chest with his hand.

"Could it be that the Weaver Girl had already seen through my physique?" Lin Yao sighed. That woman was really too difficult to deal with. His understanding of her was limited to the communication over the past few days.

As for rescuing people, it was just because Lin Yao felt that he could temporarily escape from the control of the Weaver Girl.

After all, judging from the appearance of Bodhisattva Lanruo, I am still very important to him.

"The Way of Guile, a miscellaneous knowledge among all kinds of religions and schools of thought?"

Lin Yao’s mind kept circulating through the books he had read in his previous life.

"In the current situation, practicing step by step may not be enough."

Lin Yao already had a plan in mind, the only thing that worried him was.

Zhinu, Xiaoqing and Lanruo have all said that the immortals and Buddhas in this world have disappeared.

If we can't invite him down by then, it will be troublesome.

"Forget it, let's wait for Xiaoqing to come back and ask her."

Lin Yao touched his stomach. For some reason, he always felt a strong sense of hunger since his leg recovered.

Not long after, Xiaoqing returned to Lin Yao with food and a few books.

"This is what the Taoist priest left behind. Take a look at it first."

Lin Yao devoured the food like whirlwind, leaving Xiaoqing beside him stunned.

"Is he really not a demon beast that has transformed into a human?"

It seems that in memory, only monsters that have temporarily transformed can be like Lin Yao.

"Do you want me to get some more?"

The food in the tower is all the corpses of birds and beasts left after Lanruo massacred the city.

After eating, they would be placed in a pool of blood to regenerate a new body, so there was no shortage of flesh.

Lin Yao waved his hand and his eyes fell on the books Xiaoqing brought.

The four words "Immortal Touches the Head" were clearly placed in front of him.

"Does marriage bring eternal life?"

Lin Yao smiled and picked up the book.

It’s just that what was described in the book coincided with his thoughts.

Lin Yao watched carefully, and Xiaoqing standing behind him was also a little curious.

She had never read these books since the death of that wild Taoist priest. When she went to get them today, she had to tie up the scholar before she could find them.

Thinking of this, Xiaoqing couldn't help but secretly glance at Lin Yao.

I don't think I know his name yet.

"what's your name?"

"Lin Yao."

Lin Yao spoke subconsciously, but his eyes were always on the book in his hand.

After a long time, he closed the book.

The book records many ways of summoning gods, and he needs some time to find the most suitable immortal.

After all, whether your body can bear it is still a question.

What is more important now is that he needs to know whether there are still immortals in this world.

"Xiao Qing."

Lin Yao turned his head and saw a cold face approaching him.

Her black hair is tied around her ears.

You could hear the breathing between the two of them.

Xiaoqing's earlobes suddenly turned a little red and she stood up straight.

Lin Yao was a little embarrassed, but still spoke.

"What about the disappearance of immortals and Buddhas you mentioned earlier?"

Xiaoqing calmed down her confused mood and spoke after pondering for a moment.

"There are actually two kinds of immortals. Gods are the innate beings conceived at the beginning of heaven and earth. Mortals who ascend to heaven and achieve enlightenment are called immortals and Buddhas. About a hundred years ago, the spiritual energy of this world was mixed with filth. Whether it was immortal cultivators or us demons, after absorbing it, we would gradually be contaminated and eventually become strange beings. Without the incense and offerings from the human world, the immortals and Buddhas suddenly disappeared."

After listening to this, Lin Yao had an idea in his mind.

In other words, the gods in this world have not disappeared. Perhaps it is because there are no more incense and offerings that they have sealed themselves off from the human world and sealed themselves off from the heavens.

If so, there is still room for breathing.

"Xiaoqing, does the flesh and blood that grows in the blood pool become stronger each time?"

Lin Yao felt the flesh and blood growing back on his legs and felt that they were much stronger than before.

"will not."

Lin Yao frowned after getting the answer, and then spoke.

"Tie me up and whip me later."
