Immortal Mystery Sequence: I Establish a Divine Duty for Heaven and Earth

Inside the quiet room of the Jiang residence.

Jiang Tu looked at the two straw figures on his left and right, their different postures complementing each other.

The "Myriad Grass Man" lies quietly, motionless.

The "Smart Grass Man" was completely different. Just after Jiang Tu grabbed him by the back of the neck and dragged him back, he was still kicking his little legs, waving his little fists, and making a childish, silly laugh. He couldn't stay calm at all.

Jiang Tu glanced at the latter, too lazy to pay attention, and first sought to understand the background of his own straw man.

After a long while, his brows slowly relaxed.

He had thought that the straw figure that he and his wife had painstakingly woven should at least be the most intelligent and wise, and at least a cut above Xiao Jiangliu, but the result was quite the opposite.

The first effect of the Myriad-Faced Grass Man is "Absolute Obedience"!

It has absolutely no intelligence, only very simple instinctive reactions. For example, when Jiang Tu reaches out, it will subconsciously hug and get close to him. When Jiang Tu lets go, it will stay quietly and never move. Occasionally, when it senses Jiang Tu's gaze, it will wave its hands and wiggle its little legs. That's all it does.

It's like a perfect marionette; within a 300-mile radius, he can manipulate, control, and precisely manage every movement of it, and even synchronize its senses, essentially giving it an extra pair of eyes to explore the outside world.

After advancing to the seventh rank, with the help of his sense of the earth, his consciousness could actually extend to a distance of a hundred miles, and he could see all the details above and below ground. However, this kind of wide-range perception was a huge pressure and shock to him. The amount of information to be processed at the same time was too dense and complex, which made it easy to crash. Even at the seventh rank, it was difficult to withstand long-term wide-range perception, and he could only do some targeted perception.

The Myriad Mane further enhances its single-point perception capabilities and expands its linear perception range to 300 li, which is also a very good enhancement!

Great news!

Being unwise has its advantages; at least you'll be obedient.

It's better than Xiao Jiangliu constantly thinking about becoming a cross-dresser, and it's also easier to control than the eccentric Lingzhi Grass Man.

However, his idea of ​​replacing Xiao Jiangliu with a new straw doll came to nothing...

The second effect, Myriad Forms, can transform into any non-supernatural being in the world, except for humans.

Cats, dogs, poultry, birds, fish, insects, rats, snakes—all can transform instantly… Perhaps because of Jiang Tu’s method of filling the five internal organs with the five elements, he can learn each posture perfectly. When he transforms into a cat, he licks his fur and curls up; when he transforms into a dog, he wags his tail and barks; when he transforms into a fish, he jumps and leaps on the shore as if suffocating, his gills opening and closing.

Swish!

Jiang Tu tried to turn it into a sparrow. As soon as the thought came to him, the scarecrow flashed with green light and transformed into a little sparrow, landing on his fingertip. It tilted its head, pecked at its wings, and hopped twice, looking very lifelike.

Swish!

He then transformed it into a grass snake. The little sparrow landed and rolled, transforming into a small snake about a foot long, coiled around the corner of the table, flicking its tongue—it was incredibly lifelike.

Each change was seamless and natural.

Not to mention outsiders who can't tell the difference, even he himself would have a hard time distinguishing the real from the fake. This is the most perfect disguise!

He guessed that this was probably due to the little cat that his wife had stitched at the end, which infused the straw figure with the delicate and spiritual essence of a young woman's embroidery, making the ever-changing figures so vivid and lively. He himself might not have been able to finish the stitches so smoothly and perfectly.

"But then again, I went to great lengths to install limbs and joints, fill in flesh and bones, and even matched your internal organs with the five elements to perfectly recreate the human body structure... and you're telling me you can't become human?! Is that even possible?!"

Jiang Tu's lips twitched, and he sighed silently.

Could it be... because we didn't install that big thing on it? But that's not a big deal, is it?

Well, even being a beast has its uses!

The third effect is the most useful! It can be enhanced as the character's grade increases, and each grade breakthrough will grant an additional new effect, while existing effects will also be moderately strengthened!

"The Burning Execution...? That does seem promising for the future."

At least this straw man won't be eliminated as his cultivation level increases; it has excellent growth potential!

He then turned to the [Intelligent Grass Man], and after learning more about its characteristics, his expression gradually became subtle and strange.

First, they are born with intelligence.

It possesses the intelligence of its original owner, Qin Tuyun, when she was four or five years old. It is lively and playful, and at crucial moments, it is sharp, cautious, and never a hindrance. However, its intelligence will not grow and will remain at this stage indefinitely. It is also unable to speak human language and can only giggle.

"...Hmm, forever stuck in the Demon Orb stage? Your master is truly blessed!"

Secondly, it possesses 70% of the original owner's cultivation level.

This is also a growth ability. No matter how high or what grade Qin Tuyun's cultivation level is, it will always grow along with him, maintaining 70% of its strength and mastering weakened versions of all his spells... No wonder it was so difficult to catch him earlier! Little Tuyun's cultivation level was already above his, and 70% of his strength was already quite remarkable.

Third, he's annoying but resilient.

If you don't discipline them for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles!

They are too naughty and mischievous, and they need to be disciplined with a stick every time before they can behave for a few days. But after a few days, they will go back to their old ways, and the cycle repeats itself.

With its thick skin and tough flesh, its defensive capabilities far surpass those of other straw dolls, and even if it dies completely after a battle, its resurrection speed is far greater than that of other straw dolls.

Yes, once the straw doll is enlightened, it can be resurrected infinitely using cultivation and the spiritual light of heaven and earth, and it does not need to be repeatedly expended with materials to be rewoven. Normally, a straw doll takes at least a year to be resurrected after death, but a spiritual straw doll only takes three months.

However, the scarecrow will perish along with its owner after death unless there are special conditions to sustain it.

Jiang Tu: "…………This characteristic?"

"Little Tu Yun, just how mischievous were you as a child that you could conjure up such a straw doll?"

A brief overview of the three straw figures I currently have: each with distinct characteristics, they surprisingly complement each other perfectly, and none can be dispensed with.

The Earth-Walking Grass Man, Xiao Jiangliu, can take on human form and walk at ten times the speed on the ground. He can impersonate others and deliver messages.

The Myriad-Form Straw Man can transform into any form, is absolutely obedient, and is skilled in disguise, eavesdropping, and precise manipulation.

The intelligent straw doll possesses intelligence and cultivation, can fight, has strong defense and resurrects quickly, and can get things done, but it needs to be kept in check.

Jiang Tu's eyes flickered, and many thoughts in his mind gradually took shape and became clear.

What if the three straw figures cooperated with each other?

Combo attack?

Let Xiao Jiangliu walk outside in human form, carrying two straw figures. The Myriad Forms Straw Figure is in charge of gathering information, while the Intelligent Straw Figure is ready to assist in handling important matters at any time.

He controlled the senses of the Myriad Manifestations Grass Man from three hundred miles away, remotely taking control of the entire situation and issuing commands.

Isn't this a complete system? He doesn't even need to show his face! Taking someone's head from a hundred miles away is as easy as taking candy from a baby! Assassinating Rong Yidao and changing identities to spread his teachings is just what he needs!

Swish!

He raised his hand and sent the Myriad-Faced Grass Man into the air.

Phew——!

A high-pitched falcon cry rang out, its sound carrying in all directions!

The Myriad-Faced Grass Man grew rapidly in the wind, its wings unfurling, its body expanding quickly until it transformed into a snow-white gyrfalcon. It soared upwards, disappearing into the endless sea of ​​clouds in an instant, heading straight for Windward City. This was used to gather intelligence and ascertain Rong Yidao's movements, awaiting further instructions.

"Yes, the spies have been planted. I'll devise a plan to kill Rong Yidao first, and then send the Spiritual Grass Man back to Xiao Tuyun."

To his surprise, he regretted it just a few days later...

……

……

Four days later.

The Jiang residence was in complete chaos, filled with smoke and fumes, a complete mess.

First, the accounting office inexplicably caught fire, but fortunately it was discovered in time to prevent a major disaster! The servants searched for a long time but couldn't find the cause of the fire, assuming it was just due to dry weather... Later, the granary was flooded! A hidden channel was somehow blocked, and water overflowed, flooding half of the granary!

Then there are the servants and farmers who lose things in the courtyard or outside, whose children inexplicably fall into the outhouse while walking on the road... Such troubles are countless and everywhere, but no reason can be found, and they can only be regarded as bad luck!

Jiang Tu cleans up the mess at night and teaches the straw man a lesson, while during the day he has to pretend nothing happened and joke around with the farmers.

"Be careful and cautious, lest something else goes wrong..."

The farmers nodded in agreement, but inwardly they were all wondering... Could this be some kind of evil spirit? Could something unclean have come to our little Pei County?

If this continues, it could lead to bad luck!

Last night, Jiang Tu had just fallen asleep when the bed suddenly sank!

Click!

The bed board cracked in the middle, and he and Zhou Ning'e fell off while they were sleeping.

Ning'e screamed in fright, completely stunned.

"Husband, our bed... why did it collapse? Was it because I've been too rough with it...?"

Jiang Tu was furious: "...It's been in disrepair for so long! Replace it tomorrow!!"

He appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was seething with rage—Little Demon Ball! You just wait!

On the morning of the fourth day.

Jiang Tu finally caught the clever grassman in the flowerbed in the backyard. The little guy was squatting in the flower bushes, kneading mud and making a row of crooked little mud figures. He was chuckling to himself, probably thinking of another way to play a trick on people. When he saw Jiang Tu coming, he took off running.

Swish!

Jiang Tu used a seventh-grade Earth-Shaking Technique to roll up the soil, which churned up and completely enveloped the little guy. Then, he hung the little guy up, gave him a good spanking, and kicked him out of the Jiang residence.

"Get back to Qingshan Lake right now!"

He made up his mind: he would personally take charge of killing Rong Yidao! Even if it involved some risks, it was better than bringing this menace along!

If the intelligent straw man were allowed to stay for a few more days, all his secrets that he had kept hidden for many years would probably be exposed!

This is seriously destroying the house!

A menace!

……

……

Qingshan Lake, Qin Family.

The lake surface shimmered, and the scenery of the lake and mountains stretched out in a single line.

Qin Tuyun sat on a large rock by the lake, her hand supporting her cheek, completely listless. She had been dispirited and uninterested for several days.

Her straw doll is gone! It's even stopped breathing!

These past few days, she hasn't been able to muster any enthusiasm for anything she does, even though she continues to work diligently and practice assiduously... she's always somewhat absent-minded.

Feeling wronged and pitiful.

"Child, you've been listless for quite some time now. You're just a straw man, aren't you? If you lose one, we can just conjure another one," Qin Xian comforted him.

"I can't enlighten it! There's only one spot in the Three Realms, and it can't come back. Even if I could enlighten it, it wouldn't be this one." Qin Tuyun couldn't explain why. Even though he had only met it once, he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

It was evening.

The Qin sisters and their daughters are bathing in the lake.

Qin Tuyun, fourth sister Qin An, and Qin Xian were all soaking in the warm lake water, splashing water everywhere, laughing and playing.

Whoosh!

Qin Tuyun, who had been sullen for several days, finally smiled a little. She splashed water on Qin An's face, then hid behind her mother, making a ruckus. After they had had their fun, they climbed ashore. All three of them were completely naked. Looking down—

Ok?

What about clothes?

The clean stone was completely empty.

Qin Tuyun: "..."

She suddenly had a very bad feeling.

Qin An: "...?"

Qin Xian: "???"

Suddenly, a clear, cheerful laugh rang out, and three pairs of eyes turned to look.

On a large tree on the shore, the intelligent grass man was squatting among the branches, holding up three sets of clothes with its two short arms. It proudly shook its head and swayed its head at them, then patted its little bottom, stuck out its tongue in a provocative manner, giggled, and strode away, disappearing in the blink of an eye!

Qin Tuyun was stunned.

Qin An covered his conscience with both hands, his face turning green.

Qin Xian took a deep breath: "Kid, is this the straw doll you conjured? What a disaster!"

"No, I didn't! You can keep it...!"

Qin Tuyun's lips twitched, and she raised her hand to cover her face.

She has absolutely no intention of finding the scarecrow now!
