Chapter 137: Paper Dolls Attack

At night, a group of assassins dressed in black appeared outside hundreds of incense towers distributed in eight prefectures of the *Xiangmiao*.

These assassin paper dolls were scattered to various prefectures according to Lin Feng's arrangement, and then acted uniformly in the middle of the night, making those *Xiangmiao* ancestors unable to put out fires everywhere.

"Swish, swish~"

As time arrived, all the assassin paper dolls rushed into the incense towers from the darkness instantly.

"Bold!"

"We have been waiting for you rats!"

However, at this moment, several incense makers suddenly emerged from some incense towers. Clearly, they had been waiting for a long time.

Both sides collided instantly. Although the assassin paper dolls tonight did not have *guiyi* inside, their own strength was not weaker than the heavy-armored paper dolls.

"Swish~ swish~"

And unlike the heavy-armored paper dolls, these assassin paper dolls were better at using various hidden weapons. As long as the enemy was not careful, they would be shot through.

At the same time, some incense towers were simply empty, with nothing inside except some utensils and the statue of *Wufu Shenzun*.

Clearly, this was to avoid the massive loss of disciples and sect members, so the incense towers withdrew those disciples with low strength at night.

These assassin paper dolls missed their target, so they destroyed the statues in a few strokes, and then destroyed the entire incense tower.

At night, hundreds of incense towers belonging to the *Xiangmiao* were attacked one after another.

But the incense makers with strong strength were a minority after all. Many incense makers with strength lower than a grandmaster were directly wiped out by the assassin paper dolls.

There were also some incense makers who reached the grandmaster level who died under the joint strangulation of the assassin paper dolls.

Only the incense towers with incense makers of *Zhiren* (True Person) strength or *Xiangmiao* ancestors were suppressed as soon as the assassin paper dolls approached.

However, what made the *Xiangmiao* people feel a headache was that once these assassin paper dolls could not move, they would gradually disappear, leaving no trace at all.

"An-Ancestor!"

"No, no, no, it's not good!"

"Incense towers everywhere have been attacked!"

"..."

The *Xiangmiao* Fifth Ancestor's huge *gui* body dharma image had just slapped the surrounding assassin paper dolls to the ground, and then a *Xiangmiao* disciple ran to him in a panic and screamed in panic.

"Bold thief!"

Hearing this disciple's words, the Fifth Ancestor's tone was cold, and he instantly began to contact other *Xiangmiao* ancestors.

Soon, he got news from the other seven prefectures. Upon learning that all the incense towers had been attacked, the Fifth Ancestor was instantly furious!

"Boom~"

A large amount of thick smoke instantly spread from him to the surroundings, and then one after another *Gui* slaves muttering prayers spread out in all directions from the *gui* domain.

If you look carefully, you will find that these *Gui* slaves are not the same batch as the ones encountered last time, because the clothes of the *Gui* slaves last time clearly had characteristics of other dynasties.

The same scene also appeared in other prefectures. The eight ancestors of the *Xiangmiao* acted one after another, because they suffered quite a lot of losses this time!

Incense towers were nothing, and the lost materials didn't matter. As long as the people were still there, they could be rebuilt at any time.

But the thousands of *Xiangmiao* disciples were developed by them over hundreds of years!

Although in order to prevent what happened last night, they withdrew many disciples from the incense towers, and some of the people left behind also belonged to incense makers with relatively strong strength.

But even the *Xiangmiao* could not cultivate incense makers who were all grandmaster experts. The incense makers with weaker strength definitely couldn't beat these eerie paper dolls!

——————

"Ding~ Ding~"

Watching the armor in his hand gradually take shape, Lin Feng finally put down the hammer in his hand.

He had been paying attention to the assassin paper dolls' actions, so as long as any assassin paper doll lost contact, Lin Feng would immediately use the *Tanshi Gui*'s power to erase all the fragments.

From the beginning to now, more than five hundred assassin paper dolls had been lost, and now the number of losses was still soaring.

Because the *Xiangmiao* ancestors began to act on a large scale, the strength of the assassin paper dolls naturally could not be compared with these old *Zhiren* antiques.

"Fight, let them kill these assassin paper dolls as they please! If they can kill them all, I lose!"

Lin Feng did not let the assassin paper dolls return, but began to run into the deep mountains and forests in all directions.

The risk of returning directly was too great, and it was easy to lure the enemy over. Running everywhere could not only delay time but also muddy the water.

After all, paper dolls were not just something he could make. Besides him, many others could also make them.

"This time, I successfully sabotaged nearly half of the *Xiangmiao*'s incense towers. The others either belonged to the *Xiangmiao* ancestors' protection range or were guarded by relatively strong incense makers, so they didn't succeed."

"But being able to achieve such a result is already quite good. This time, even the *Xiangmiao* will probably feel the pain for a long time!"

As time passed, the number of lost assassin paper dolls exceeded one thousand, and the remaining assassin paper dolls had all hidden in the deep mountains and forests according to Lin Feng's orders.

"Phew~"

Looking at the formed armor, Lin Feng shook his head and threw other distracting thoughts behind him.

Lin Feng built this armor according to his own body shape, so every part was quite fit.

The armor from top to bottom was helmet, breastplate, shoulder armor, arm armor, skirt armor, leg armor, and combat boots.

Each part of the entire armor could be independent or connected together by buckles. Placed on the rack, it gave people a feeling of extreme heaviness.

"The origin of these fragments is definitely not simple. The armor forged with my current level is actually high-grade!"

If forging iron rods was because of simplicity and proficiency, then forging armor had always been the most testing of a blacksmith's level.

The forging of armor usually took years and months to complete. Only in this way could the quality be guaranteed.

But now Lin Feng only spent less than two hours to complete it. Among them, there was the reason why he borrowed *guiyi* power and absorbed the skills of more than one blacksmith.

But being able to manufacture high-grade armor blanks was entirely the credit of the materials. Those fragments dug from the Yinjian didn't know what they were, and after such a long time, they still had such an effect.

"It's a pity, now there is still no fierce *Gui* that can be used for weapon sacrifice, otherwise, it could take shape together with the Ruyi Golden Cudgel!"

Looking at this armor, Lin Feng felt a bit regretful in his heart, and could only look forward to the paper doll army in the Yinjian being able to suppress a fierce *Gui* again. After all, the military camp was attacked by fierce *Gui* every day.

Putting the armor away, Lin Feng walked out of the stone house. The weapon sacrifice pool in the next room was still churning, and Lin Feng was too lazy to care.

Not far from these stone houses was the papermaking workshop. Now the harvested grave grass had been consumed, and most of it had been made into grass paper for drawing talismans.

Lin Feng came here to take away all the remaining grass paper, and then disappeared into the shadow world.

——————

The next day, a big piece of news spread uncontrollably in all directions. The incense towers, which had been growing more and more prosperous recently, were attacked on a large scale last night.

The common people didn't care about the inside story. They only felt that someone must be jealous, so they would attack the incense towers at night.

The people who had received rice and grain distributed by the incense towers gathered in front of the broken incense towers one after another.

These common people began to spontaneously clean up here, and even some stonemasons, carpenters, and mud masons volunteered to repair the incense towers.

"Hey, I don't know which bastards did this!"

"The *Wufu Shenzun* is good. Thanks to the blessing of *Wufu Shenzun*, my family has rice to cook!"

"That's right! That's right!"

"Hmph, maybe it's those dog officials and landlords who can't stand us doing well!"

"Those dog things!"

The common people who gathered spontaneously inside and outside the *Xiangmiao* talked to each other while helping to repair the incense towers.

In their simple concepts, the incense towers and the masters of the incense towers were simply living Bodhisattvas who saved suffering.

Now that they were suddenly harmed, it must be the work of villains, and maybe it was those dog officials who were usually domineering over their heads! ===== CHAPTER 138 =====
