"Wumian, I have always been curious, how did you sneak into Anyang County without being discovered by the survey mirror?"
After the two left the city, Ye Qing suddenly asked curiously.
Normally, once a monster approaches the county town, it will be discovered by the sky survey mirror, and its true identity will be revealed, so any disguise will be useless, but Faceless can freely enter Anyang City without being discovered, which makes him very curious.
"This is it." Wu Mian took out something and handed it to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing took it. It was something shaped like a summer cicada, but it was crystal clear, as if it were made of white jade. It was warm and flawless, reflecting a clear light in the sun, as if it were there.
"Yinchan, no wonder!" Ye Qing read it several times and said suddenly.
"Young master is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and I admire him greatly." Wu Mian praised him sincerely.
Ye Qing did not speak, but carefully looked at the hidden cicada in his hand.
The Hidden Cicada is a very rare and rare monster. It has the ability to conceal its breath and blood. It has the ability to hide its breath and is unparalleled. It is said that it is indistinguishable from gods and ghosts. No matter who is carrying the Hidden Cicada, it will be difficult to be detected.
Back then, there was a strange creature named Chun Xia. He relied on the hidden cicada to transform into a human form and sneaked into the Great Chu Jixia Academy to study for several years. His talent and knowledge were unparalleled. He once won the top three rankings and became famous in the city of gods. He also rode a white horse and visited the Flower Street, and his reputation spread all over the world without being noticed. However, one spring and summer day, he got drunk with his friends and got carried away, revealing his true identity, and he was noticed by others.
It is reported that the monster named Chun Xia is still detained in the Heavenly Prison of Da Chu Divine Capital.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Faceless was able to sneak into Anyang County without being detected by the sky survey mirror.
Of course, although the hidden cicada is powerful, it is very rare and extremely rare.
It is reported that hidden cicadas are born in late spring and die in early summer. They live at sunrise and die at sunset. They only have a survival time of half a day. Their life is very short. When alive, hidden cicadas are generally in an invisible and transparent state, making it difficult to see with the naked eye. Once it dies, the hidden cicada will turn into nothingness and immediately dissipate between heaven and earth. Therefore, it is said that it is alive but unknown to people and dead to ghosts.
Therefore, it is very difficult to catch the hidden cicada, and it must be done by chance.
And after catching the hidden cicada, it must be sacrificed with special techniques to erase its spiritual consciousness, but its body must remain immortal, so that it can form the form in Ye Qing's hands and not turn into nothingness after death.
Therefore, the imperial court was not worried about the weird monsters relying on the hidden cicadas to sneak into the towns in large numbers and have their own plans.
Ye Qing played with the hidden cicada in his hand, looked at Wu Mian and said, "Do the five of you have hidden cicadas in your hands?"
Wu Mian said respectfully: "There are only three, and two of them were taken away by Youyan and Fushou. If they want to go out of the city to contact other monsters, they must have Yin Chan with them. And because I need to deal with Tang Yi'an, I may have to do it from time to time. When I was close to the city gate, I was afraid of being discovered by the sky survey mirror, so I also gave one to me."
"What a great gift. Here it is, keep it well."
Ye Qing threw Hidden Cicada to Wu Mian. He didn't expect Lu Luo to have three Hidden Cicadas in his hands. It was really a generous move.
However, although the hidden cicada was precious, it was really of no use to him.
The two of them walked and chatted, and soon they arrived at a land with lush grass and gloomy air.
"quack"
As soon as the two of them approached here, countless black crows screamed and flew from the dead trees. The sound was shrill and sharp, adding to the desolation.
Among the grassy mounds on the ground, some eerie bones and corpses could be faintly seen.
"Sir, what are we doing in the graveyard?"
The so-called grave mounds were just mass graves outside Anyang City. No one was sure what Ye Qing was doing here.
"Refining incense!" Ye Qing said simply. He came here naturally to refine the incense of bad luck and prepare for the upcoming crisis.
To make bad luck incense, you need a bowl of rootless water, a handful of poor ghost hair, three misery flowers, a pair of unlucky cat eyes, a wisp of ghostly wind and soul-stealing fire, and a sad tree leaf. In a place where the five elements are declining, in the morning Refining at the turn of the night can become incense!
He had the Soul Fire of Yinfeng Pirates, and Ye Qing had asked Tao Xian and Master Qiao Liu to look for other things a few days ago. With the help of the Tieyi Gang and the well-informed Master Qiao Liu, it didn't take much effort to get it together. After gathering all the materials, Tao Xian had just handed them over to him.
As for the grave mound in front of you, it is the place needed to refine the incense of bad luck. It is a place where the five elements are declining and the filth is heavy.
After walking around casually, Ye Qing picked an open space, swept his sleeves as sharp as a sharp blade, cleared away the surrounding weeds, took out the cauldron and other objects needed to refine the bad luck incense from the mountain and river shells, lit a bonfire, and Wu Mian on the side said: "Protect the law for me."
"Yes, Master." Wu Mian responded.
After the cauldron was warmed up, Ye Qing first poured half of the bottle of rootless water into it. After a while, the rootless water in the cauldron began to roll. Then, Ye Qing poured the ghost hair of the poor ghost, the flower of sorrow, the eyes of the unlucky cat, and The leaves of the miserable tree were put into the cauldron one by one.
To refine the bad luck incense, there are strict restrictions and requirements on the order in which the materials are put in. Otherwise, it is very easy to cause the cauldron to burst and the refining to fail.
As the cauldron heats up and the rootless water rolls, the hair of the poor ghost, the flower of sorrow, the eyeballs of the unlucky cat, and the leaves of the sad tree dissolve one after another in the cauldron, and the gulu bubbles, a gloomy, ominous, and sad black air. As it gushes out from the cauldron, the surrounding grass is covered with a layer of gray gas. Snakes, insects, rats, and ants that were originally hiding underground emerge one after another and flee into the distance.
Ye Qing took his time and waited until several materials were completely dissolved and fused together, then took out the last material, which was also the most critical material, Yinfeng Pirate's Soul Fire, and placed it in the cauldron.
The soul fire of Yinfeng Pirates is Yin in nature and has the property of controlling other materials.
With the input of a ray of Yinfeng Thief Soul Fire, the churning juice in the entire cauldron instantly cooled down, and an illusory Yinfeng Thief figure appeared in the cauldron, roaring silently, and the originally dissipated gray energy gathered back and disappeared into the cauldron.
In addition, the rich Yin Qi that originally enveloped the surroundings was like billowing smoke, gathering from all directions and submerging into the cauldron, while a layer of dark clouds accumulated in the sky.
"Such a big movement?"
Ye Qing didn't expect that just refining a bad luck incense would cause such a big stir. The "Twelve Incenses of Ghosts and Gods" didn't mention it.
Ye Qing suspected that the trouble might be caused by the Yin Wind Soul Stealing Fire. After all, it was the soul fire of a Yin Wind Thief leader, and it was different from the ordinary Yin Wind Soul Stealing Fire.
Ye Qing did not dare to neglect and hurriedly added a lot of firewood. The fire was blazing. However, because there was too much filthy air gathered in the cauldron and it was extremely cold, it was impossible to heat the cauldron for a while.
The last step in refining the bad luck incense is to use a high fire to evaporate the water in the cauldron, leaving only the powder, which is then twisted into incense. However, the fire cannot heat the cauldron and naturally cannot evaporate the water in it. If this continues, it will fail. undoubtedly.
"That's right, use the Blue Demon Hand!"
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Qing suddenly remembered the green devil's hand. The ghostly fire in the green devil's hand should be able to evaporate the water in the cauldron.
Ye Qing stretched out his left hand and pressed the wall of the cauldron. The ghost fire surged out. The liquid in the cauldron instantly rolled and gray gas surged. After a long time, all the water in the cauldron finally evaporated, leaving only a pile of ashes. black powder.
"It's done."
Ye Qing was slightly happy. Fortunately, he had green magic hands, otherwise the refining of the bad luck incense would have ended in failure.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Qing used the remaining rootless water to slightly wet the powder, stirred it, and kneaded it into a root.
There wasn't much powder in the cauldron. I only kneaded three sticks of bad luck incense and it was all consumed.
But Ye Qing was already very satisfied. According to the book "Twelve Incenses of Ghosts and Gods", with ordinary materials, one or two incense sticks at one time was considered lucky. Making three incense sticks at once this time was definitely considered lucky.
Ye Qing put away the scent of bad luck and was about to return when a figure suddenly came from a distance.
Ye Qing looked intently and saw that it was a tall man with muscles all over his body and an expressionless face. What was strange was that the man was walking towards him with a coffin on his back.
The coffin was more than three feet long. It was made of unknown material. It was gray-black in color and exuded a sense of mystery. On the coffin, there were crows flying back and forth, making a squawking sound.
Although he was carrying a coffin on his back, the man's footsteps were silent and extremely fast. He reached Ye Qing and Wu Mian in just a few steps.
"Who are you, get out of here? Didn't you see that my young master is here?" Wu Mian didn't feel the danger from the other person, so he scolded him expressively and slapped the man with his palm.
Wu Mian fell without any force, he just wanted to scare the man.
"quack"
Just when the palm power was about to fall on the man, the crows on the coffin behind the man all squawked. The cries were harsh and the sound waves rippled, shaking away the faceless palm power, and then circled and flew towards the faceless man.
Wu Mian was taken aback, paid more attention, and slapped the crows with his palm. However, the crows seemed to be invisible and without substance. His palm power went straight through without causing any harm to the crows.
"Back off!"
With his eyebrows beating, Ye Qing took a step forward and stood in front of Wu Mian, while those crows crashed directly into his sea of consciousness, squawking, and for a moment, Ye Qing felt his soul trembling.
Ye Qing hurriedly visualized the picture of Emperor Xi riding a chariot. Emperor Xi's figure appeared, his grace and power were mighty, and the crows in the sea of consciousness melted away like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun.
"call"
After the sea of consciousness returned to normal, Ye Qing looked at the man carrying the coffin again, his eyes a little more solemn, and the crow that he had wiped out in the sea of consciousness reappeared on the coffin behind the man, flying up and down, quacking.
Those crows are not real crows at all, but some kind of spiritual power that can directly attack the souls of others. If he hadn't visualized the picture of Emperor Xi riding the chariot, he would probably have died by now.
"Coffin bearer, this is the coffin bearer?!"
Suddenly, Wu Mian seemed to remember something, his expression changed, and he said in shock.
