Sister, please help me practice

"?"

Looking at Chu Ming's calm and indifferent expression, Widow Zhao, who turned into a baby, pointed at him and said with a horrified expression.

"Why hasn't your soul been invaded by my consciousness?"

"Sure enough, there is something wrong with you."

Chu Ming sighed softly, and just raised his right hand slightly, and the strange spiritual energy fluctuations that had gradually gathered around him instantly dissipated. This made Widow Zhao break out in cold sweat on her forehead, and her petite body trembled as she retreated towards the bed.

"You are a little scholar whose cultivation is only in the Qi Refining realm. It is impossible for your spiritual consciousness to be so strong that you can ignore the invasion of my spiritual consciousness!"

"When the gap in strength between the two sides reaches a certain level, all perceptions of divine consciousness are used as a means of deception."

Chu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and put the five fingers of his extended right hand together. A light blue lotus platform was instantly formed at the feet of Widow Zhao. Countless tentacles exuding biting cold directly wrapped her petite body tightly, causing her to move. No.

"Tell me, who is behind this?"

Chu Ming slowly sat on the edge of the couch, his expression as calm as if he was chatting about family matters.

"It's impossible for you alone to cause such a big commotion in Border City. There must be an organization behind you."

"You think I'll say it?"

Widow Zhao smiled sinisterly, her expression still extremely arrogant even though her body was tightly restrained by the Magic Wood Ice Lotus Platform.

"It's impossible for me to tell you, even if I...ah!"

The next second, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she couldn't help but let out a heart-rending scream. She suddenly felt that there was a small but extremely bright flame in her consciousness.

It looked gentle and without any temperature, but the flames around it kept burning her soul, causing her body to experience severe pain like ants gnawing at her bones, and the skin all over her body began to glow with scalding heat and penetration. deep red.

"what did you do to me?!"

"Bao asked."

Chu Ming yawned and waved his hands casually.

"I won't ask anything. I'll give you a moment to burn incense. It would be best if you can endure it. If you can't endure it, I can only say sorry."

"you!"

Widow Zhao's voice trembled, and she stared at Chu Ming with a horrified face. After a while, her facial features became physically twisted together, and her body became as red as a cooked prawn, as if her whole body was burned by flames.

She tried to use the spiritual power in her body to resist the internal burning flame hidden in her body, but it had no effect. It even aroused its burning temperature, causing her skin to gradually turn a dark charcoal color.

This process had not lasted half a stick of incense before Widow Zhao started crying heartbreakingly.

"I said it, I said it, I said it all! Let me go! All of this was done by the paper cutter manipulating us!"

"You still need to stick to half a stick of incense, but since you are willing to explain, let's reduce it some."

Chu Ming smiled slightly, but he remembered the name "Paper Cutter" in his heart.

Paper cutter?
I’ve never heard of this name, what does he do?

"you!"

Faced with Chu Ming's ruthlessness, Widow Zhao was filled with anger. However, under the internal burning of Nan Ming Lihuo, she could not bear the hell-like pain and could only tell Chu Ming all the information she knew. Ming.

"He practiced the art of paper-cutting, but he went astray. He cut out dead people from red paper and permanently fixed their souls in the paper figures, thereby absorbing the spiritual power of others. , to help you practice."

"And I am just a celebrity cut out by him!"

After saying that, Widow Zhao tore off her right arm which was suffering the most pain from the burning.

However, the scene of blood splattering did not appear, only a crimson paper that seemed to be covered with blood suddenly ignited with blazing flames, and then turned into ashes and drifted away.

"Look! Everything I said is true! Let me go!"

"..."

Listening to Widow Zhao's heartbreaking plea for mercy, Chu Ming was not shaken in his heart, but kept thinking about the authenticity of what she said.

According to the conclusions detected by her spiritual sense, at least [-]% of what she said is true.

After all, I am also wondering why Nanming Lihuo, which only slowly aggravates the burning pain for ordinary people, is so effective for Widow Zhao, even more effective than the Magic Wood Ice Lotus Platform, almost incinerating her facial features and even limbs.

It turns out she is a paper doll!

This all makes sense, after all, paper people are most afraid of fire.

"Then why did you attack me? How did you get the people in the city to be 'possessed'? And what happened to your husband's resurrection from the dead?"

Facing Chu Ming's questioning and under the burning of Nanming Lihuo, Widow Zhao's consciousness had already become chaotic and hazy, and there was only one thought left in her mind.

let me die!

"Because the paper cutter asked us to help him absorb spiritual power. If the spiritual power absorbed in one day does not meet the standard, we will be cut again by him, lose our souls, and become paper figures only controlled by him."

"And the so-called evil is also very simple. It means cutting the world that people see into an illusion that makes them confused. This is also the way the paper cutters use us to control them. The purpose is to create chaos,"

"And I don't have a dead husband at all. As a dead person, how can I have a husband? That man was just captured by me to gain spiritual power."

"Each paper figure cut out by the paper cutter has its own way of immortality. By marrying someone else, I become a child again, transforming the other person into the so-called 'Widow Zhao' , use this to endlessly cycle and gain eternal life.”

"Is it."

Chu Ming held his chin and thought for a moment, then continued to ask.

"Are there any companions of yours in the city, the so-called paper figures cut out by paper cutters?"

"Have……"

Widow Zhao weakly told Chu Ming all the information about her companions, with only one purpose, and that was to seek death.

"Kill me, please..."

Listening to Widow Zhao's weak and desperate plea for mercy, Chu Ming showed no mercy in her expression. With a wave of his right hand, the Nanming Lihuo in her body suddenly exploded and burned her to ashes.

Suddenly, red light flashed around him, which made Chu Ming startled.

He found that the thatched cottage he was in had also changed, and gradually evolved into a spiritual house made of various colored papers that could only be seen at funerals.

"So this thing is also cut out?"

Feeling unlucky, Chu Ming quickly left the spiritual house and burned it to ashes with Nanming Lihuo.

"Complete."

Chu Ming clapped his hands, and immediately his consciousness spread, and his deep eyes looked into the distance.

"All that's left is to get rid of all the paper figures that still exist in the city."

-

-

Chen State, the royal capital.

In the splendid palace, in front of an altar filled with smoke, an old man in yellow robe was burning incense and worshiping Buddha. He had his eyes closed and looked extremely pious.

However, at this time, a gust of evil wind blew into the palace from nowhere, causing the weak flames burning on several red candles to sway in the wind, and eventually disappeared.

"..."

The old man in yellow robe suddenly raised his head, his pupils shrank suddenly, the long incense burning in his hand was cut off instantly, the veins on the back of his hand popped out, his expression was full of disbelief.

"Why are all the paper figures in Border City gone?"

"Who? Who did it?! Ah——!"

-

——In the early morning, the sky is dawning, and the morning light is faint.

The warm sunlight shined through the paper window on An Muqing's delicate sleeping face, causing her to frown and then slowly opened her hazy beautiful eyes.

"Um……"

Last night, she was very happy to arrive in a new city, so she played around a lot until early in the morning.

As for the hard work that Yu Zijin emphasized, she had long forgotten it.

practice?

Playing is not important!
"I have never slept so comfortably!"

An Muqing couldn't help but stretch, and at this moment, a joking joke suddenly sounded from the corner of the room.

"Then how about we stay here for a few more days?"

"!?"

After hearing this extremely familiar voice that she couldn't remember for a while, An Muqing lost all sleep in an instant, her eyes widened, and she was extremely shocked.

Is there someone in the room?
Why didn't I notice?

Could it be that I slept too much?

"Mu Qing, you are really defenseless."

Then the familiar voice turned into a sigh again, which made An Muqing react instantly and look somewhere in the room in shock.

"Chu Ming? Why are you here?"

"Can't I come?"

Chu Ming smiled slightly and was about to say something when he saw a black shadow rushing towards him, and then Nephrite was in his arms, and the fresh body fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose for a long time.

"Didn't you go to deal with the evil incident that happened in the city? Why did you come back so soon?"

"Because it's been dealt with."

Chu Ming sat on the chair, chuckled and told what happened last night as a story to An Muqing in his arms.

"...So, you cleared out all the paper dolls in the city in one night?"

After a while, An Muqing looked up at Chu Ming, her expression still a little uncertain.

"Are you injured? Are you sure you've cleaned everything up?"

"There are no injuries. Those paper figures are only at the Foundation Establishment level."

Chu Ming said softly.

"As for whether the cleaning has been completed, I have completed everything that Widow Zhao told me. As for the rest, I don't know."

Chu Ming pinched An Muqing's tender cheek and chuckled.

"You have such a high level of cultivation, but you are still afraid of this kind of thing. Isn't it a shame to say it out loud?"

"Then what's the matter?"

An Muqing snorted and then couldn't help but scolded.

"People always have things that they cannot overcome their fear of. Aren't you also afraid of multi-legged insects?"

"That's a bit..."

After recalling some long, multi-legged creatures, Chu Ming couldn't help but shiver all over, and then he leaned down and kissed An Muqing's delicate red lips softly and asked softly.

"However, although the matter in Border City has been dealt with, this is only the beginning, and if the paper cutter is not eliminated, evil incidents will continue to occur."

"So I plan to go to the royal capital of Chen Kingdom, Mu Qing, what do you think?"

"The royal capital of Chen Kingdom?"

An Muqing tilted her head, looking slightly confused.

"Why are you going to the capital of Chen Kingdom? Where is the paper cutter?"

"Correct."

Chu Ming hugged An Muqing tightly, his expression became particularly solemn.

"Not only the paper cutter, I suspect there are other evil people or organizations hiding in the capital of Chen Kingdom."

"Even the entire Chen Kingdom's royal family may not be completely clean!"

"After all, it is located at the junction of Blazing Fire Immortal Sect and Tianyan Sect. Its geographical location is very important. Moreover, there have been successive plague incidents and this evil incident, so I think the entire royal family of Chen Kingdom is very strange."

"That's true..."

After Chu Ming's analysis, An Muqing instantly noticed something fishy.

"There is indeed something wrong with this Chen State."

"Right."

Chu Ming suddenly hugged An Muqing and lifted her up high, then came to sit on the edge of the bed and chuckled.

"So Mu Qing, do you plan to stay in the border city for a few days and have some fun, or do you plan to go directly to King Chen's capital?"

"Then we must rush to King Chen's capital!"

An Muqing said solemnly and righteously, seemingly unaware of Chu Ming's big hands constantly groping her body.

"If we deal with the paper cutter one day late, there may be a group of more victims, so we have to do it as soon as possible!"

"Actually, there's no rush."

Chu Ming couldn't help but smile.

"After all, the paper cutter should have noticed that I have dealt with all the paper figures in the border city. He should have calmed down a bit during this period, so we have a lot of time to investigate his true identity."

"Then why are you asking me?"

An Muqing said with a rosy face in shame. She originally wanted to ignore Chu Ming's dishonest hands, but she didn't care after noticing that he was becoming more and more wanton. After all, her body was already familiar with the warm wandering and mischief. , and soon became soft and limp, and the whole person began to moan softly.

"It's still morning, why are you... um!"

Without giving An Muqing much time to speak, Chu Ming leaned down and took a bite of her lightly opened cherry mouth. After tasting it wantonly, he looked at her confused expression and eyes filled with glistening spring mist. Smiled evilly.

"Isn't it too early?"

"It's getting late~"

An Muqing coquettishly hugged Chu Ming's neck with her fair arms and took the initiative to leave her lip prints on his face.

"Chu Ming, come quickly."

……

Finally, bathed in the morning light of the early morning sun, Chu Ming and An Muqing had a friendly morning exercise double cultivation training, and then walked around the border city, eating, drinking and having fun while making sure there were still any leftovers in the city. Paper Man, after seeing the residents returning to their stable daily lives, the two men summoned the chariot and left.

It was already approaching evening when we arrived at King Chen's capital. At this time, the setting sun was gradually setting. The orange-yellow sunlight covered the bustling capital with a layer of glittering gold. Until night fell, fiery red lanterns were swimming in the city like long dragons. .

Just like in Border City, Chu Ming first took An Muqing around for a while, and then set off to look for the so-called clues after settling her in the inn.

"Why do you think our emperor suddenly summoned young people to the palace?"

On the first floor of the tavern, there was a lot of noise. Chu Ming casually shared a table with other people, drinking wine in silence while listening to their chatting with each other, hoping to extract useful information from them. (End of chapter)
