Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife!
Chapter 39 Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife!
Although the aura within the barrier was merely an energy body left behind by Zhang Guolao,
Night still dared not venture out!
It was simply because Zhang Guolao's influence on him at that time was too great!
He couldn't be sure.
The energy entity that Zhang Guolao left behind within the barrier possessed a fraction of the original's power, and he wasn't sure if he could defeat Zhang Guolao's energy entity in his current state.
"Damn it!"
The waist drum was right there, yet Ye longed for it but could not have it. This stark contrast made him extremely anxious.
Countless thoughts began to churn in Ye's mind.
He tried to find the most reasonable and best solution from these various ideas, but unfortunately, almost all of the options were eliminated by Yoruichi.
He simply couldn't think of the best solution!
"Fine."
Unfortunately, Ye had no choice but to temporarily abandon her idea of venturing into the barrier.
He sighed helplessly, then turned around, preparing to leave this place temporarily.
"Anyway, I already know where the waist drum is."
"It can't fly."
"Let's go back and calm down first, then we'll think of a good way to get the waist drum back!"
Thinking of this, Night's figure began to be enveloped in black mist.
He is about to leave.
However, at this crucial moment, Ye suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye!
He was a boy fleeing from war!
He stepped into the barrier without any hindrance, and then, under the watchful gaze of Zhang Guolao's energy body, he safely stepped into the depths of the barrier!
Oh, wait, that's not right.
To be precise, the energy body left behind by Zhang Guolao didn't even notice the boy!
"What's going on?"
Night fell silent.
Could it be that the energy body left behind by Zhang Guolao is completely useless?
No, that's not right!
The occasional energy fluctuations were a reminder of the night!
This energy entity possesses power.
Why didn't Zhang Guolao pay attention to the boy when he stepped into the barrier? Was it because he knew that the boy posed no threat and wouldn't take the waist drum?
That doesn't make sense!
An energy body is just an energy body; it does not inherit the thinking ability of the original body!
He's like a program that only knows how to perform tasks.
This means that Zhang Guolao could not possibly use human reasoning to judge whether the boy would take the waist drum and threaten the world!
"so."
"It must have been that Zhang Guolao injected a special kind of magic into the energy body when he left!"
"This magic allows him to distinguish between good and evil!"
"Anyone who enters the barrier with evil intentions will be expelled by the energy body; conversely, those with pure intentions will not be interfered with by the energy body!"
The night is clever.
He figured out the reason in a very short time.
Then his eyes flickered.
He secretly pondered a solution in his mind.
soon.
He then came up with a very good idea: to possess the body of a person with a strong sense of justice, and use that person's body to enter the barrier, avoid Zhang Guolao, and obtain the waist drum!
Possession Magic —
Possession magic—
Both of these spells allow night to enter someone's body.
"The former is feasible."
"the latter."
Night gently shook her head, removing the possession magic from her selection.
the reason is simple.
If he uses possession magic, it's equivalent to taking over the spellcaster's body, and that person is no longer themselves!
And the spiritual factor is the presence of justice and the symbolism of light.
With even his soul completely possessed, how can this person still be considered full of justice and a symbol of light?
in this way
Even if you change your body at night, you will still be discovered!
Therefore, the only option available is possession magic.
This spell is simpler to cast than possession spells, however...
The difficulty is,
How can you get someone who's been possessed to willingly cooperate with you?
Only in this way can the night hide all the evil power within that person's body, thus evading Zhang Guolao's detection!
"Got it!"
As he pondered, a good idea suddenly welled up in Ye's heart.
He seemed to know what to do.
As the idea became clear, the black aura surrounding Ye began to dissipate, and he himself transformed into a defeated aura mage wearing tattered armor.
"It hasn't been long since the Holy Lord ended the war on the Eastern Continent."
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
"At this time, I have no problem playing the role of a defeated air mage from the Eastern Continent and escaping to this land in the form of a soul."
"That's a very good lie."
The night-transformed air mage revealed an evil smile, and then, with a practiced limp, he walked towards the village surrounding the forest.
Although his black aura caused massive destruction, it did not completely slaughter all living beings!
The surrounding villages were affected to some extent, but there should still be survivors. He can go to these villages to find the righteous people he is looking for.
Fate, what a coincidence.
The village of Naraku, which shares the same name.
A gaunt middle-aged man was limping as he climbed into the ruins, crying out, "Madam, you can't die! You can't die!"
He was desperate.
Just as Mingming and her beloved had happily married and were enjoying their blissful life together, disaster struck suddenly!
The black mist that had swept through the entire forest suddenly erupted!
Their village, Nailuo, is very close to the forest, so naturally it became one of the first villages affected!
The black mist completely destroyed the building.
The house collapsed.
Countless villagers were buried under the soil!
This included the man's wife, whom he had recently married.
The man dug relentlessly into the soil with his hands, even as his palms became bloody and mangled from the scraping, all for that tiny, faint glimmer of hope.
at last.
After a long search, he found what he was looking for!
The wife who was trapped under the building!
The man tried his best to move the stone that was pressing down on his wife, but unfortunately, he was too weak and could not move the stone off his wife at all.
He could only watch helplessly as his wife's breathing grew weaker and weaker!
"God!"
The man knelt on the ground, and in despair, he prayed to heaven, "Please, save my wife!"
At this moment.
When a man is at his most powerless, praying to the ethereal and elusive gods becomes the only thing he can do.
"I'll do anything to save my wife!"
"really?"
Just as the man uttered his second utterance, his prayer received a corresponding response.
It was a semi-transparent soul, clad in tattered armor and covered in wounds, floating before the man: "I saved your wife, are you truly willing to do anything?"
"Are you...a god?"
Night shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, "If I were truly a god, I wouldn't have lost the battle against the demons."
"It shouldn't have come to this."
