Chapter 262: Statue Completed
The next day, the war in Yunzhou yesterday spread rapidly across the country through this channel. For a time, the prestige of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven even reached the level of the three Great Xia Saints at that time.
I don't know how many storytellers in teahouses and taverns were telling the relevant deeds. After all, the Great Xia people had suffered many defeats in the hands of the barbarians, losing troops and land.
For these, the Great Xia people naturally felt aggrieved, but for the extremely cruel and terrifying barbarians, ordinary people felt more worry and fear in their hearts.
And now the Great Sage Equaling Heaven had directly taken action and taken back the entire Yunzhou in one fell swoop, which naturally led people to spread the word one after another.
As the saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times, and that's about it. It's just that the strength of this hero was too strong and his status was too noble. If he didn't take action, he wouldn't; if he took action, it would definitely be earth-shattering!
Lin Feng didn't care about the reaction of the outside world. Now he was busy with the second Statue Array.
"The texture of Black Steel Stone is indeed much better than Black Jade, but the difficulty of carving is also much greater. If ordinary people faced this kind of stone, I'm afraid they would only feel at a loss."
Lin Feng was holding a carving knife and continuously carving the Black Steel Stone in front of him, which was hard in texture, delicate in material, cold like iron, and pitch black like steel.
If Black Jade material was delicate and hard, then Black Steel Stone was somewhat similar to steel.
When carving Black Jade, one needed to be careful enough, otherwise, if the force was too strong, it would cause the entire piece of Black Jade material to shatter.
And Black Steel Stone had no such worries at all. Strong force would only accelerate the depth of carving. The strength of Black Steel Stone was far higher than that of Black Jade. If ordinary people got this kind of material, how to carve it would be a problem.
However, Lin Feng now had a Ghost Weapon carving knife he specifically forged. Besides the carving knife itself being hard enough, it also possessed a certain ghostly cutting effect.
At the same time, he was not lacking in strength and precise control of power. Under the blessing of his deep internal energy, every time he waved the carving knife, he could remove a lot of excess Black Steel Stone.
A pure black statue about the size of an ordinary person gradually took shape in his hands. The entire statue was carved with a woman with long hair. In fact, the prototype of this statue was the Disaster Ghost in his hand.
It was just that the statue itself looked more solemn and sacred than that Disaster Ghost. Of course, it didn't matter if you didn't care about these, as long as the special talisman marks carved on the surface of the statue had no mistakes or omissions, it could exert the corresponding effect.
Besides the statue itself, there were also ten thousand special talisman plates that needed to be made, but this task was now handed over by Lin Feng to the workshop that made Black Jade talisman bases to carve.
The structure of those talisman plates itself was not complicated, basically the same as the steps of carving Black Jade talisman bases, and even looked simpler.
It was just because the quantity was too large, if all were carved by Lin Feng himself, it would not only be time-consuming and laborious, but also could not be exactly the same.
As the carving knife in Lin Feng's hand fell continuously, this statue was finally gradually carved into shape in front of him.
"Hoo~"
Accompanied by Lin Feng blowing away the debris on the statue in front of him, a complete black statue was finally completed.
"Done!"
Looking at the statue carved into shape in front of him, Lin Feng first examined the whole body of the statue carefully.
The entire statue was pitch black and shiny, looking quite metallic. Besides belonging to ordinary decorations on the surface of the statue, the most important thing was that it was distributed with a large number of talisman marks.
The size of this statue was about the same as an ordinary person, and there was a square base under its feet for easy placement. Besides this, it didn't look like there was anything too special.
But if someone tried to move this statue, they would find that this thing was surprisingly heavy. Four or five big men definitely couldn't move this statue at all.
"Next is to merge the Disaster Ghost. The material of Black Steel Stone this time is far beyond Black Jade. I think the fusion process should not have any problems."
After a short rest, Lin Feng released the suppressed Disaster Ghost from the Shadow Ghost Domain.
This ghost's ability was not very special, but it was quite suitable for use in the Statue Array.
After all, the purpose of the entire Statue Array was to use the power of ghosts to integrate and connect the strength of all the soldiers and soldiers covered, and finally bless it on some individuals for use.
This ghost's ability was to create ghostly forests and murderous black shadows. In terms of range, it was definitely enough, and in terms of quantity, it was also more suitable.
As this ghost was released from the suppressed state, its power soon gradually began to affect the surroundings. If left alone, this ghost would completely recover in less than half an hour.
Lin Feng naturally would not let it recover. After completing all the preparations, he directly put this ghost and the statue into the ritual array, injected Ghost Blood, lit incense candles, and began the fusion ritual.
Soon, Ghost Blood began to spread toward the Disaster Ghost and the statue, and the fusion ritual officially began. Lin Feng had already summoned the Tou Gui and Xi Gui at this time, so if there was any situation, it would be convenient for him to make up for it at any time.
As the Ghost Blood completely wrapped the statue and the Disaster Ghost, the Disaster Ghost began to struggle desperately, but unfortunately, Lin Feng casually performed a Body-Fixing Technique and suppressed the struggling movements of this Disaster Ghost.
At this time, the Ghost Blood wrapped on the statue and the Disaster Ghost began to connect together like thousands of silk threads, and then these silk threads, like the blood threads of the Tou Gui, began to forcibly pull the statue and the Disaster Ghost together and merge.
Just as Lin Feng guessed, the fusion process this time was relatively smooth, and there were no major mistakes until the two were completely merged.
As the Disaster Ghost completely merged into the statue, the black statue that was originally a dead thing seemed to be injected with a soul and began to become spirited.
This statue just looked at it and gave people a special feeling. To describe it in a common word, it was that this statue was full of majesty and divinity.
It made people feel inexplicably shocked at first sight. It was for this reason that ordinary people would unconsciously lighten their movements and breathing when entering the temple.
"Sure enough, it is vastly different from the statue created by the Fierce Ghost. I don't know what effect it would have if a statue was made using a Calamity Ghost. It's just that there is no relevant content in the inheritance of the Ghost Stone Craftsman. After all, being able to merge a Calamity Ghost into a statue is not easy to succeed even if a Saint takes action personally."
Looking at this statue, which was far beyond the previous one in both quality and effect, Lin Feng couldn't help but be secretly happy. With this thing, his Paper Man army in the Underworld could finally be considered formed!
And next, with such a set of Statue Array to use, his own strength would also be greatly improved. Merging the strength of ten thousand soldiers into one body, just thinking about it was a kind of extremely terrifying power!
This kind of power could almost instantly make an ordinary person possess strength comparable to a Calamity Ghost, and its power and effect were self-evident! ===== CHAPTER 263 =====
