The wooden coffin was broken, and a paper man appeared in the dust.
It was very small, and its ordinary facial features revealed a hint of weirdness, especially its pair of bloody eyes, with blood and tears flowing in the round pupils, which made people shudder.
And the moment it broke out of the coffin, a fierce wind blew beside Ji Ning's ears.
Buzz!
A harsh scream sounded in his ears, and Ji Ning turned pale. He could sense that it seemed to be the angry roar of the paper man, as if it was about to tear everything into pieces.
However, after the Yin Qi surged like this for a while, it slowly subsided.
The paper man, who was extremely angry, did not move at all.
In other words, it cannot move.
"what happens?"
Ji Ning stuck his head out with a look of surprise.
From the palm of the palm of the saint's body, stars scattered all over the sky, like river water floating down from the nine heavens, pouring crazily into the body of the paper monster.
Wow!
The paper man screamed and struggled, the paper pieces on his body trembled wildly, as if he was trying to struggle, and the terrifying wind blew up around him again, blowing up all the broken boards of the surrounding coffins, and ejected them into the rock wall.
But the saint's body was still not affected in any way, and even the starlight on his body showed no fluctuation.
His right hand fell gently and slowly, landing squarely on the head of the paper man.
Then, the cold wind suddenly stopped.
boom!
The piece of paper trembling like cicada wings subsided together with the cold wind, and two lines of blood and tears fell from the eyes of the paper man.
The ferocious expression gradually became calmer, and finally turned into the dull look at the beginning.
"it's over?"
Behind the saint's body, Ji Ning's Adam's apple moved slightly. Could that terrifying paper man even be able to withstand the former's palm?
Even if this palm was extremely slow and fell like a feather, the paper man could not avoid it.
"This is the power of a saint!"
Ji Ning's expression was filled with emotion. He was indeed a saint-level being. Even if he died, he could not resist with extraordinary things.
"But, since there is such a huge difference, why does this saint's body have such a big reaction?"
Ji Ning stepped forward in confusion and looked at the paper man up and down, but found nothing unusual.
Even the original corpse in the coffin was shattered by the fight between the two.
There is no treasure here at all.
"So what is this saint's body longing for?"
With this doubt, Ji Ning carefully checked the nearby ground again, but still found nothing.
At this time, the saint's body, which had been standing still, hummed again, guiding with powerful thoughts.
Ji Ning's expression was solemn, and he followed the mysterious instructions and finally came to the back of the paper man. He suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something hidden under the undulating paper, exuding a gray halo.
Ji Ning stretched out his hand solemnly, pulled off the paper outside, and then took out an unusually heavy bead that exuded a strong yin energy with a gentle squeeze.
When the saint's body sensed the bead, his thoughts immediately became excited, and he opened his big hand to grab the bead.
However, the battle just now seemed to have exhausted all its strength, and it froze in the air after only half of its movement.
"You want this bead?"
Ji Ning put the bead in front of his eyes and examined it, then handed it to the saint's body with a curious look on his face.
The starlight came into contact with the Yin energy, and in an instant, the heavy Yin bead suddenly shattered and turned into crystal clear Yin energy that filled the sky, and penetrated into the body along the saint's eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
Buzz!
Ji Ning's face turned pale, and a distant buzzing sounded in his mind, which seemed to be the language of the ancient clan.
However, for some reason, he was able to understand the meaning expressed by this holy corpse.
"I am the body of a saint, relying on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to remain immortal is the limit."
"This bead is called the Sui Yin Bead. It can only be condensed on a body that is extremely heavy in yin energy and has been dead for a long time. It contains rich yin energy. For my dead body, it is more critical than the aura of heaven and earth. "
"There are many more in that wall, please get them for me. When I recover, the mystery of the saint's body will be revealed to you!"
When Ji Ning heard this, he raised his head and stared blankly at the body shrouded in the starlight in front of him. Even though he had been dead for countless years, even though his soul was annihilated and there was only a broken body, he could still talk to the outside world and express his thoughts. .
If millions of years pass, will this dead body give birth to consciousness and then come back to life?
In a daze, the saint's body was already walking slowly towards the rock wall with heavy steps.
"call!"
Ji Ning smacked his lips, suppressed the fear in his heart, then stepped forward and led the other person to the cliff.
"is it here?"
"Buzz..."
"Are there a lot of beads you want behind here?"
"Buzz..."
After receiving a positive answer, Ji Ning looked calm, put his ear to the wall, and tapped a few times with his fingers.
"Dong dong dong!"
"No, it's too thick!"
Ji Ning frowned and shook his head. The rock formations here were too deep and seemed to have been specially reinforced.
He tried to accumulate strength and hit it with his fist, but it only scraped off a layer of debris on the outside, while the inside was still as tough as iron.
Ji Ning smacked his lips, shook his fists, and spread his hands, looking helpless.
"What should I do?"
After a moment of silence, the saint's body raised his hand.
The stars in the sky followed his fingers and rushed to a high wall, where there seemed to be a small groove.
That is the switch of the secret door.
Ji Ning's face was calm, he took a deep breath, poured all his spiritual energy between his legs, and then suddenly jumped up.
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound, and Ji Ning slapped the groove with his palm.
Rumble——!
Then, as if the huge rock wall in front of Ji Ning was given life, it slowly opened to both sides, revealing a spacious passage between the dust.
"You go ahead, I'm afraid."
Ji Ning looked at the darkness ahead, smacked his lips, and shrank behind the saint's body.
But then, there was a buzzing sound in his sea of consciousness, and the meaning was very obvious.
"They're all dead."
Hearing this, Ji Ning scratched his head with a smile, picked up the saint's body and walked in. After walking for more than a hundred steps, one after another, different forms of machine monsters appeared in front of him, all made of wood and Made up of connected silk threads, they are huge in size and have different shapes.
The only thing they have in common is that they have been dead for a long time, unlike the paper man.
"Maybe it's because the coffin helped it withstand the wear and tear of time."
The body of a saint answered Ji Ning's question, and he finally understood.
That wooden coffin is not only the seal of the paper man, but also its shelter.
Without it, the paper man might have broken out of the seal long ago, but on the contrary, as long as life has an end, he might have died long ago, just like these machine beasts in front of him.
"Alchemy, formations, weapon refining, talismans, puppets, and beast control."
"These six methods are the most popular in the world of cultivation. If you learn any of them, your status will be several times higher than that of practitioners at the same stage."
"However, with the passage of time, the latter two methods have gradually disappeared from the world, especially the Puppet Master lineage. It is said that it was inherited from the Luban Saint Clan, but now that lineage has disappeared for countless years. I don't know if there is still one. Descendants exist!”
Ji Ning looked at the dazzling puppets in front of him. When he thought that these things were most likely the product of tens of millions of years ago, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart, and reached out to touch these puppets.
Coincidentally, the saint's body seemed to be in tune with him, and he also raised his thick palm at the same time.
When Ji Ning saw this, his heart was filled with excitement. He thought he had found his soulmate. Just when he was about to express his feelings, he found that the other party had already taken out the Sui Yin Bead from the puppet in front of him, crushed it and absorbed it.
Ji Ning smiled inexplicably, and then quickly took out all the Sui Yin Pearls from these puppets and handed them over for absorption.
This process is like a whale drinking.
Even though the Yin Qi contained in those beads is terrifying, it is countless times more terrifying than that paper man. I don’t know what level of existence it is. However, such a terrifying existence is like the tip of green grass in front of the saint’s body. It looks like dew condensing on it.
Even if you absorb it all, it won't quench your thirst.
But it's better than nothing.
The saint's body disappeared and automatically entered Ji Ning's space ring. At the same time, Ji Ning could feel that the connection between himself and this body seemed to be closer.
He closed his eyes slightly and discovered that his consciousness could actually enter the body of a saint and control its movements.
However, it was very difficult for him to move and he could only do simple movements, such as sitting down and standing.
But even this made Ji Ning very excited, because this was the body of a saint!
"That is to say, as long as I feed it enough Sui Yin Pearls from now on, I will be able to control this powerful saint's corpse!"
Ji Ning's expression was fiery and he was very excited. He couldn't even imagine what the scene would be like if this saint's body regained its full strength and could be controlled by him.
It’s hard to find an opponent in the entire Northern Territory!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ji Ning withdrew his consciousness from the space, took a deep breath, and put a faint smile on his face.
Now, he cannot be happy so early. After all, so many Sui Yin Pearls have only restored a little bit of mobility to the saint's body, and are still far from complete control.
The boy raised his head, remained silent for a moment, and then continued walking deeper.
After a while, he reached the end.
This is a small stone room, hidden in the innermost part of the mountain.
The surrounding rock walls are full of words carved with the sharpest blades, and there is a portrait of a Taoist from an unknown age. It was hung on the stone wall. The color has faded long ago, and the face can't even be seen clearly.
"Portrait of Patriarch Dao Shen."
