[The Sheep's Track Leads the Way]

"Young Master Lu, some people are just too stubborn to listen to reason," Pei Si said.

Lu Shouhuai sighed and lowered his voice, saying, "Brother Pei, kill Zhang Xin first."

"Zhang Ji, leave him to me."

Decisive!

"Okay," Pei Si said in a deep voice.

In the blink of an eye.

Pei Si's figure disappeared from the spot.

Zhang Xin's pupils suddenly narrowed into black dots, a howling wind whistled in his ears, and he could vaguely hear the roar of a tiger.

boom!

Pei Si punched Zhang Xin in the chest, his expression changed slightly, the feeling was wrong, as if he had hit cotton.

Zhang Xin's robes rolled up, changing layer by layer, until white scales covered his entire body.

Paper armor!

"Charge!"

Before Pei Si's eyes, white paper fluttered, and in the next instant, he was in another place.

All I could see were blank sheets of paper.

"You scoundrel, I'll borrow your head for a bit!"

Suddenly, a loud shout with great energy came from afar.

As the sound of horses' hooves gradually rose, Pei Si's pupils suddenly contracted, and he saw something three zhang away in the distance.

An old general, mounted on horseback and clad in armor, with a flowing beard and wielding a Green Dragon Crescent Blade, charged straight at him, his hair standing on end in fury.

Pei Si bent slightly, took out a blue gourd, uncorked it, and tilted his head back to drink it down.

The howling monster's essence blood poured into Pei Si's throat.

A highly nutritious food!

With each breath Pei Si took, there was a faint sound of tigers and leopards roaring.

Pei Si planted his seed, and as he circulated his cultivation technique, the Howling Monster's essence and blood surged through Pei Si's veins in an instant.

"Traitorous general, prepare to die!"

In the blink of an eye, the old general wielding the knife had already reached Pei Si.

clang!

Pei Si gripped his broadsword with one hand, his eyes flashing coldly: "Dismount!"

Pei Si suddenly pulled the old general off his horse, then discarded his sword and grabbed the old general's shoulders with both hands.

stab.

The ear-piercing sound of paper being torn rang out.

The old general on horseback was torn apart by Pei Si, horse and all.

Pei Si stood still, and with the help of the Howling Monster's blood, the three Yin meridians in his hand were connected, and his palms became hot.

Meridian Opening Realm!

Sizzle sizzle.

Pei Si glanced at the paper figure on the ground and saw that the two halves of the body were crawling forward, and would heal in a while.

"This environment must be overcome with Taoist arts!"

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the All-Encompassing Mirror of All Businesses trembled.

[Judge: Pei Si]

[Position: Shepherd (White)]

[Taoist Arts: Holding Treasure and Leading the Sheep]

"The materials required for advancing the Shepherd (White) have increased. The current progress for Lower Treasure/Spirit is (10/10), and the progress for Middle Treasure/Spirit is (1/1)."

"Should I upgrade?"

"Upgrade!" Pei Si murmured to himself.

…………

Zhang Xin crossed his arms, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Judging by the time, the man should have died in her paper world.

It's just a pity that she originally wanted to let that Aries man experience this method.

"Meow~"

A sheep's bleat reached Zhang Xin's ears.

"Where did this sheep come from?" Zhang Xin tilted his head, his gaze shifting downwards, his pupils suddenly contracting.

A row of sheep hoof prints appeared on the ground.

puff.

"What...is this?"

Zhang Xin's eyes widened, her face filled with fear. She lowered her gaze and saw a line of blood appear on her fair swan neck.

"The paper craftsmen are indeed quite skilled."

Pei Si held Bai Xiao's hand, his left hand wrapped with five red threads.

"You... what... are you...?" Zhang Xin covered her neck, her body swaying.

Pei Si covered himself with the white sheep mask, waved at Zhang Xin, and then with a slight flick of his finger, Zhang Xin's head fell to the ground.

With the blessing of the "Sheep's Track" technique, Pei Si walked out of the meticulously arranged paper realm.

Pei Si was touching the corpse as usual when his ears started ringing. He heard fighting nearby and dragged Zhang Xin's body towards the sound.

Zhang Ji's expression turned solemn. The person in front of him was indeed a member of the Lu family of Cai Shui.

Damn it, didn't the Lu family's docks have a notorious water ghost? Instead of dealing with the water ghost, why are they sending people to participate in the winter hunt!

At this moment, Zhang Ji was wearing armor and holding a paper sword. If one looked closely, it was not difficult to see that there were already melted parts on the paper armor, indicating that he had clearly fallen into a disadvantageous position.

"Zhang Ji, your shell is tough enough to kill you," Lu Shouhuai said with a warm smile. "Once my brother Pei kills Zhang Xin, you'll be dead too!"

"Hmph, him? Even I'm not confident I can break Xin'er's paper realm, let alone him?" Zhang Ji sneered, glancing subconsciously in Zhang Xin's direction.

"Chance!"

Lu Shouhuai seized the fleeting opening, made a spell, and transformed into a surging torrent, rushing straight into Zhang Ji's paper armor.

The paper cannon absorbed water and gradually swelled up, like an inflated balloon, before bursting open with a bang.

Lu Shouhuai materialized, his eyes filled with ruthlessness. He pressed one hand against Zhang Ji's face and kicked away the token Zhang Ji was holding.

Zhang Ji's face gradually turned purplish-blue, his whole body convulsed, blood foam spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his limbs became icy cold.

Finally, Zhang Ji's heart stopped beating.

Cai Shuilu Shouhuai, just beginning to show his talent.

"Brother Lu, what skillful methods you have!" Pei Si stepped out from the side, looking directly into Lu Shouhuai's eyes and praising him.

Lu Shouhuai smiled and looked at the corpse Pei Si was holding. "Brother Pei really succeeded."

Lu Shouhuai reached out his hand, and Pei Si extended his gloved hand.

Hands clasped together.

"Water collection, Lu Shouhuai."

"Leading the sheep, Pei Si."

……

A scene of dividing the spoils that everyone enjoys.

The Zhang siblings had two strings of incense money, more than ten thunder and lightning scorpions, and a small booklet with the words "paper offerings" written on it.

Pei Si and Lu Shouhuai squatted on the ground.

Lu Shouhuai smiled warmly and said, "How about this? We'll each donate one string of cash for incense, split the scorpion donation equally, and as for this book of paper offerings, Brother Pei, if you want it, just take it!"

Pei Si pondered for a moment.

It's not that the paper booklets are worthless; how could the techniques of paper-making be worthless?

After all, the previous Zhang family patriarch established himself in Qingcheng County by relying on his paper-making skills.

There are 3,600 schools of Taoist teachings, and each person holds onto one of their own roots.

If one practices multiple methods simultaneously, it not only consumes a lot of energy but also makes it difficult to achieve results, resulting in a waste of time.

But Pei Si has the "Comprehensive Mirror of All Trades," so it's certainly feasible!

"Just as Brother Lu said." Pei Si nodded.

The sun hangs high in the sky.

After the life-or-death struggle and catching scorpions for some time, Pei Si was extremely exhausted and starving.

And so, Lu Shouhuai started a fire, and Pei Si skewered the meat.

In no time, a large bunch of sizzling, caramelized meat skewers came out of the oven, and Pei Si sprinkled them with his homemade spices.

"eat!"

Lu Shouhuai didn't stand on ceremony, chewing the meat skewers heartily. As he ate, he closed his eyes in enjoyment and gave a thumbs-up: "Brother Pei, awesome!"

It was delicious.

Pei Si bit into a piece of meat skewer. The meat was full of blood essence, which nourished Pei Si's body.

Eat! Eat!

Pei Si used both hands, turning the monster's flesh into energy, constantly adding fuel to his furnace and intensifying the fire.

Fifteen minutes later.

Pei Si patted his belly, and Lu Shouhuai looked satisfied.

Although he didn't know what kind of meat it was, Lu Shouhuai sensed from the blood essence it contained that it must be a good thing.

Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, it's time to get back to work.

Pei Si's treasure pouch contained some new medicinal herbs, which he had casually picked up while searching for the Thunderstorm Lightning Scorpion.
