Chapter 666: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 38

Ruyi asked Qingyi a few more questions. She wanted to know why Qingyi and the others could survive for so long when they were just ordinary, lowest-level fairies in paintings. She learned from Qingyi yesterday that she and the so-called Zhigong had existed three thousand years ago. Logically speaking, three thousand years would be enough for even an incompetent monster to become a thousand-year-old monster by doing nothing. What's more, Qingyi and the others had been constantly luring souls to absorb their essence for the past three thousand years.

"That's because all the souls we have lured in have been swallowed up by that bastard Zhigong, and nothing has been left for us!" Qingyi gnashed her teeth in hatred when she mentioned this. That damn spider demon was simply Zhou Baopi. Not only did he cruelly force them to seduce men all the time, he also strictly prohibited them from swallowing souls and absorbing essence privately. Because the entire painted wall was under the jurisdiction of Zhigong, no matter what Qingyi and the others did, Zhigong knew it clearly.

Once they successfully lure the souls, Zhi Gong will send the golden-armored monsters to take away these souls, leaving Qing Yi and the others no chance to hide the souls or steal their essence.

The reason why Qingyi has some cultivation is that when she was born with intelligence, the damn spider had not yet obtained the divine essence. Those monsters that were born with intelligence after the spider demon controlled the painted wall world have been under the control of the spider demon since birth, and he used them as tools to seduce men.

"Um......"

"How can I put it..." After listening to Qingyi's story, Ruyi felt that it was expected. It was just another tree demon grandma, not surprising at all.

Although these female monsters do not seem to be the culprits and have not absorbed any essence, judging from the merit power dropped after their death, they are obviously not innocent in the eyes of heaven. Aiding the tyrant is aiding the tyrant, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, if they do it they will be tainted with evil spirits.

Qingyi was in tears while speaking, and looked very pitiful. Unfortunately, her expectation that Ruyi would believe her, think she was innocent, or let down his guard towards her out of sympathy did not happen.

Seeing that Ruyi remained indifferent, Qingyi finally couldn't continue her performance. She glared at Ruyi fiercely and shouted with great resentment: "Aren't you a woman? Why are you not moved at all after listening to my words?"

Ruyi remained indifferent to Qingyi's sudden abuse. Although from a gender perspective, she should sympathize with the plight of Qingyi and other female monsters, Ruyi never forgot the merits she had absorbed. Everything could be false, but merits would not deceive her.

I don’t know whether killing a good monster will bring you merit, but it is definitely true that the more merit you gain, the more bad things the monster you killed has done. Gender cannot be a reason to escape punishment.

"Zhi Qiu Yi Ye, throw her into the woodshed!" After asking all the questions she wanted to know, Ruyi was now waiting for Zhi Gong to appear, kill him and leave.

Seeing Ruyi's reaction, Zhiqiu Yiye, who had been a little soft-hearted because of Qingyi's words, immediately came to his senses. He obediently picked up Qingyi who was tied up in a ball and walked towards the woodshed. On the way, Qingyi struggled desperately and shouted at Zhiqiu Yiye to let him go.

"Let me go, let me go!"

Seeing that Zhiqiu Yiye completely ignored him, Qingyi quickly changed his attitude and pleaded pitifully: "Little Taoist priest, please, have mercy on me, I really didn't hurt anyone, it was that spider demon who forced me to do it, please let me go."

"Female monster, you..." Zhiqiu Yiye wanted to say something to persuade him. In his opinion, Ruyi had already spared Qingyi's life by only asking him to lock Qingyi up in the woodshed instead of slapping her to death. He had no idea that the reason why Ruyi didn't slap Qingyi to death was not because of her previous promise, but because she wanted to use Qingyi to lure Zhigong out.

If the old spider that Qingyi mentioned still doesn't show up after waiting for a few more days, Ruyi can only use Qingyi, his subordinate, to lure the other party. He can't just wait forever.

Anyway, even if it is useless, it will only make Qingyi live a few more days. My own merits have not been absorbed completely, so I am not in a hurry to absorb the little bit of merits that Qingyi will drop after his death.

"Why don't you let me go? Didn't you promise to let me go? Liar, liar!" No matter how she begged, yelled, and struggled, this person just wouldn't let her go. Qing Yi collapsed and all kinds of insults came out of her mouth, "You guys who don't keep your words..."

The temple then became quiet instead. Ruyi concentrated on cultivation and continued to absorb the merit light balls to improve his cultivation.

After learning from Qingyi that there was still a great demon with three thousand years of cultivation in the painted wall that had not been dealt with, Zhiqiu Yiye did not want to become a burden to Ruyi due to his insufficient cultivation like last time, so he also began to practice seriously. His aptitude was already very good, otherwise he would not have reached the level of cultivation to go down the mountain when he was less than twenty years old.

After leaving the Wang family in Gaoyou, Yan Chixia headed west. On the way, he not only met Zhu Erdan, who bribed the judge and was able to replace his ugly wife's head with a smart heart, but also met the female city god who, in order to protect her descendants on earth, deliberately deceived the simple and innocent female demon and gave her own immortal path to her descendants. Every time he encountered such unfair events involving gods and ghosts, Yan Chixia would doubt the gods in his heart.

"Are such a judge and such a city god really worthy of the people's trust and worship?" Although this question was not asked, the answer was in Yan Chixia's heart. The absurdity of the emperors in the world already worried Yan Chixia, and now even after death people cannot get rid of such corruption and chaos. Where is the way of heaven in this world?

The more he saw, the stronger Yan Chixia's determination to seek the truth became. As Yan Chixia gradually clarified the truth in his heart, his cultivation also gradually increased. No matter whether he met a human, a ghost, a monster or a god along the way, as long as Yan Chixia felt that there was something unfair, he would pick up his sword.

After enduring the pain and healing for half a month, the spider demon in the painted wall finally recovered. He did not choose to rush out of the painted wall to find Ruyi and get the boundary bead back. Instead, he was very cautious and took advantage of the time when Ruyi and Zhiqiu Yiye were in meditation at night to lead the souls of Ruyi and Zhiqiu Yiye into the painted wall.

"You finally came out!" Ruyi was practicing well but suddenly changed to another place. She was not panicked. She had noticed it the moment Zhigong appeared. If she had not resisted, it would have been a dream for Zhigong to draw out Ruyi's soul.

Zhiqiu Yiye panicked for a moment, but when he opened his eyes and realized the current situation, he quickly calmed down.

"Senior, is he the spider demon?"

When Zhigong heard Zhiqiu Yiye say the three words "Spider Demon", his face suddenly changed. He hated it most when people called him a spider demon. Ever since he got the divine essence of the God of Land, he had already regarded himself as the new God of Land.

"Damn it, I'm a god!"
