Chapter 660: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 32

On the other hand, Ruyi has not completely given up struggling yet. He is still working hard to subdue demons, absorb merits, and improve his cultivation. He hopes that one day he can really use his power as a god to rectify the customs of the entire "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" world and bring peace to the world.

People are in the human world, demons are in the demon mountain, and ghosts are in the ghost world. The six paths of the world cycle naturally, and there will no longer be situations where demons feed on humans or ghosts suck human essence.

On this day, Ruyi was finally ready. After several days of repeated practice, Ruyi had mastered the method of leaving the body and using the soul to open up space. After eating and having a good rest for a while, after making sure that she was in good condition, Ruyi and Zhiqiu Yiye came to the stone wall again.

"Zhiqiu Yiye, remember to stick these defensive talismans on my body later. Also, be sure to protect my body!"

Although they had carefully checked the entire temple and indeed found no one else except the two, Ruyi still gave a serious explanation just in case. Zhiqiu Yiye did not think that Ruyi was making a fuss. He patted his chest and assured Ruyi: "Senior, don't worry, I will definitely protect your body. Whoever wants to hurt you must step over my dead body first!"

"No, it doesn't have to be done to this extent..." Ruyi felt helpless, thinking that Zhiqiu Yiye was going too far. After losing his physical body, Ruyi would at most need to expend more merit to 'grow' a new physical body, and he would not lose his life like ordinary people.

After all, others may not know, but Ruyi herself must know it. She is a soul-calling bird without a physical body. How can she not survive just because she has lost her physical body?

"No, no, it has to be this far!" Zhiqiu Yiye thought Ruyi didn't want him to lose his life in order to protect her body, but for Zhiqiu Yiye, if he really encountered that situation, he would rather exchange his life for Ruyi's life, not because Ruyi's cultivation was higher than his or something, but simply because he was willing to do so.

"Okay, but if you really encounter the situation you described, you must remember to run away if you can't win. At worst, you can take my body with you. Don't be stupid and insist on staying here!"

Ruyi felt Zhiqiu Yiye's sincerity from his words and didn't want to say anything more to disappoint Zhiqiu Yiye's feelings, so she had to change the subject and reminded Zhiqiu Yiye that he could run away if he couldn't win.

Zhiqiu Yiye took what he said to heart, and seeing him nod obediently, Ruyi found a place to sit down, assumed a meditation posture, closed her eyes and began to leave her body. Soon, Ruyi's soul successfully separated from her body. Zhiqiu Yiye nodded at Ruyi's soul, and began to take out various defensive talismans and stick them on Ruyi's body, even the walls and floor around Ruyi were covered.

"I'm leaving!" After saying hello, Ruyi released his spiritual sense to carefully investigate the stone wall. Soon he found a familiar spatial fluctuation on the stone wall. Following the previous method of opening the soul space, Ruyi quickly opened the entrance to the stone wall space. With a suction force, Ruyi suddenly turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared in the temple, entering the world of painted walls.

At this time, the little goblin in the painting had not seen Ruyi and the others on the water mirror for several days. The goblin in charge of keeping watch had gradually lost his patience and was absent-mindedly reading the storybook in front of the water mirror. He did not notice the figures of Ruyi and Zhiqiu Yiye outside the water mirror at all, let alone that Ruyi's soul had entered.

"Alas, I am alone here again today. That person hasn't been here for several days. I don't know if he has left."

"Today seems to be the day when His Majesty comes out of confinement. After His Majesty comes out of confinement, we will know whether that person has left or not..."

When Ruyi checked the mural before, he had already memorized the layout of the pavilions and buildings in the mural. As soon as he entered this mural world, Ruyi judged that his position was near the "Zhigong Temple" based on the buildings around him.

"Your Majesty?" Ruyi had just found a little monster based on the evil spirit, but before she could make any move, she heard the word "Your Majesty" from his mouth. She raised her eyebrows, but did not make any move. She hid aside to see if the little monster would reveal any other information.

However, he didn't expect that this little monster would be completely immersed in the words of the scholar and the female ghost, and didn't say a word for a long time. Ruyi sighed silently. Seeing that although there was not much evil spirit on this little monster, there was some evil spirit. After thinking about it, he decided to take action.

"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat!" Ruyi spread out his spiritual sense as soon as he came in. From the situation explored by his spiritual sense, this world on the painted wall was not very big. Except for some space hidden 'inside' that was not depicted, what was depicted on the surface was almost the entire world on the painted wall.

After destroying the little monster, Ruyi took advantage of the fact that all the monsters in the entire painted wall world were waiting on a distant mountain for the emperor to come out, and quickly took action to thoroughly search the Zhigong Temple.

The bad news is that the things here seem prosperous, but once you get them in your hands they all turn into stone carvings and are completely useless. But the good news is that in addition to these stone-carved furniture, tables and chairs, there are actually good things like boundary beads.

The boundary bead can also be called the core of space. Although the space of this painting wall is a bit small, with this boundary bead, after refining it, you can take over the entire painting wall world.

At that time, he would merge this painted wall world with his own soul space, and the rules of the two spaces would complement each other. In this way, his own soul space would have the characteristic of the painted wall space to accommodate "living things", and would be upgraded from an ordinary storage space to a higher level of life space.

Thinking of this, Ruyi felt that she had really worked hard. The other heroines, time travelers, and reborn people were either in the Lingquan space or in fragments of the small world. When it came to her, she was naive and deceived into a pyramid scheme. She worked in several worlds before she found out something was wrong. Then she was exposed and almost killed. She finally regained her freedom and got some benefits, but she didn't relax for long before she was pulled into this world again to become a worker.

“…” Forget it, I can’t think about it. It makes me sad when I think about it.

After thinking about it for a while, Ruyi studied the water mirror in Zhigong Hall again, "I always feel that this mirror is a bit like the Fengyue Baojian in A Dream of Red Mansions..."

"No, that's not right. It should be said that it has the same function as the mirror placed at the head of Fairy Jinghuan's bed, except that one is fixed monitoring and the other is mobile monitoring!"

"Well... take it!" Although he felt that this thing was somewhat useless, after thinking about it, Ruyi decided to take it. Maybe after his own space was integrated with the painted wall space, he would be able to enter in person in the future. Then, when he wanted to check the situation outside the space, wouldn't he need this mirror?

When Ruyi put the Water Mirror and the Boundary Pearl into the space, Zhi Gong, who was at a critical moment in the cave in the back mountain, suddenly felt like a balloon leaking air. The spiritual energy in his body began to dissipate, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. This was caused by him forcibly stopping the operation of his martial arts.

"Who, who took my boundary bead?!!!"
