Mutian City.
Risheng Inn.
In the guest room, Yu Ye sat cross-legged on the couch.
He exhaled and slowly opened his eyes.
It's early morning.
Outside the window, the morning light is bright. The guest room is fully furnished and looks no different from an ordinary inn, except that it is surrounded by an invisible layer of restrictions.
We rushed to Mutian City last night, and under the leadership of Angelica Yi, the two of them checked in here.
The room price of this Risheng Inn is not cheap, but it is also worth the money. The inn has a guest room exclusively for monks, where formations can be set up and will not be easily disturbed by outsiders. It is suitable for meditation or retreat for healing.
Since arriving in Qizhou, I have either been busy on the road or encountered dangers, and it is difficult to have a moment of leisure. Now it’s time to stop and rest for a few days. Once you have regained your energy, it won’t be too late to hit the road again.
Yu Ye waved his hand, and there was a jade slip and three jade rings in front of him.
Inside the jade slip is a classic book, "The Book of Ten Thousand Beasts". In the scriptures, there are not only pictorial and textual names of various beasts and spiritual objects, but also techniques for controlling the beasts. The so-called beast control technique is similar to the taming of animals in the village. The beast needs to be sacrificed and subdued before it can be used for one's own use and controlled freely.
There are three rings, two of them contain dead snakes, insects, birds and beasts, and one is a beast-controlling ring that contains two demonic salamanders. I wanted to lose three rings before, but I never had time to think about it. After reading about the art of beast control, he suddenly changed his mind.
Yu Ye picked up the beast control ring.
The two ferocious monster salamanders were sleeping soundly. Not only that, the ring is filled with aura and heavy blood. The spiritual energy comes from the spiritual stones that were put in before, and the blood comes from the demonic salamander. According to the "Book of Beasts", the monster salamander is highly venomous. Coupled with its ferocity and ugly appearance, it can be described as poisonous and cruel. Even jackals, tigers and leopards stay away from it.
From now on, if I carry two monster salamanders with me, if I encounter a strong enemy, won't I have two more fierce helpers?
However, the monster salamander has a murderous nature, is violent and ferocious, and is difficult to tame. It needs to be sacrificed with blood and essence, and then the magic formula is used to lock its soul and life and death, in order to make it obediently obey the mercy.
Yu Ye closed his eyes and concentrated his consciousness.
His consciousness passed through the ring, and he could see two demonic salamanders lying in the darkness.
Each of them has two monsters that are more than two meters long. They are covered in scales and have claws on their limbs. Their long mouths reveal sharp teeth, which is scary to look at. According to the method of beast control, he urged his spiritual consciousness to pass through the head of a demonic salamander. Its sea of consciousness is different from that of human beings, it is extremely narrow, and a flashing light can be discerned in it, which is the magic seal of its owner...
"oops--"
Before Yu Ye's consciousness could touch the light, he suddenly felt a pain in the middle of his eyebrows. He couldn't help but screamed and opened his eyes suddenly.
At the same time, I heard Jiao Ying sigh: "Oh, you are not overestimating your own abilities!"
"oh?"
"You challenge the spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building monks with your third-level Qi refining consciousness. It's like hitting an egg against a stone. You are asking for trouble."
"That's all, I will throw away the beast control ring later to prevent monsters from harming people."
Yu Ye was about to give up when he heard: "The monster still has its uses. It would be a pity to throw it away. I may be able to help you..."
"how do I say this?"
"It has only been a month since you arrived in Qizhou, and you have already encountered dangers one after another. The days to come are bound to be even more difficult. Fortunately, I have recovered 10% of my original consciousness. Although it is insignificant, it is slightly better than the foundation-building monks. Maybe I can Help you conquer the two monsters."
Jiao Ying's tone was hesitant.
Yu Ye didn't think much and nodded in agreement. After a while, he gathered his consciousness again. Just when the consciousness was immersed in the sea of consciousness of the demon salamander, there seemed to be a figure heading straight for the light in the sea of consciousness. The vague figure is extremely petite, like a fluttering blue robe. Before it can be seen clearly, it disappears in the blink of an eye.
Yu Ye's consciousness didn't dare to get close. Within a moment, the light collapsed, and then he heard the sound of words——
"Another monster..."
Yu Ye hurriedly withdrew his consciousness and immersed himself in the sea of consciousness of another demon salamander. There was another startling flash, and then the mark of divine consciousness collapsed, and then a figure in green came towards him. Just as he was trying to see Jiaoying's face clearly, the figure suddenly dispersed, and then he heard: "Be more careful in the days to come..."
A faint qi machine returned to the body along with the spiritual consciousness, and suddenly sank into the Jiao Dan in the sea of qi.
"Jiao Ying——"
Yu Ye couldn't help but call out.
No matter whether it was the sea of consciousness or the sea of energy, there was no movement, and even the light that shrouded the Jiao Dan dimmed a bit.
Using divine consciousness consumes the power of the divine soul. And Jiao Ying is a body with a remnant soul, and her vitality has obviously been severely damaged.
Yu Ye was still feeling guilty, but the two demonic salamanders in the beast control ring had woken up. Perhaps without the restraint of the mark of divine consciousness, they were biting each other crazily. He hurriedly gathered his consciousness again and tried the method of sacrifice...
Three days later.
Yu Ye sat on the couch, looking tired.
It took three days to subdue the two demonic salamanders. After failing again and again, trying again and again, despite all the trouble, I finally succeeded.
This is also due to Jiaoying's full help.
The previous phantom of her consciousness may have been a flash of her true appearance, but unfortunately it was so fast that all she could remember was a fluttering green dress. I hope that as my cultivation improves, I can help her reshape her soul body as soon as possible.
Yu Ye picked up the beast control ring and looked at it carefully.
After the two demonic salamanders became frantic, they regained their composure and fell asleep. I learned something from the original owner of the monster and consulted the "Book of Beasts". Although the monster has low intelligence and a stubborn and violent nature, it can still cultivate the beast elixir and becomes more powerful day by day.
Ignore it, Quan Dang has two more helpers or killers. I hope it will be of some use when encountering a strong enemy.
Yu Ye put the beast control ring on his right thumb, then took out the spirit stone, and thought about breathing and breathing. After three days of working on the two monsters, he was really exhausted.
"Bang, bang——"
At this moment, someone knocked on the ban, and then heard Angelica yell: "Fellow Taoist, follow me and learn more -"
Yu Ye shook his head and raised his hand to remove the restriction.
The door opened with a bang, and Angelica walked in. I saw him holding his chest out, his waist straight, his sleeves carrying wind, and his face smiling. After three consecutive days of meditation, it seemed that he had recovered as before.
"You and I will go eat and drink first, and then we will go to Zhenbaofang for a walk."
"Jumbo Shop?"
"You'll know when you get there, hey, you don't look good..."
"It doesn't matter!"
Compared with Dang Guiyi's high spirits, Yu Ye looked sluggish, but he still steeled himself and walked out of the guest room.
The guest room is located in a separate courtyard.
Walking out of the door, there is an open courtyard. It's almost dusk, twilight has not yet fallen, but lanterns have been hung around the courtyard, and the words "Risheng Inn" are quite eye-catching.
The two walked through the courtyard and walked into a small building facing the street.
This is a place where guests drink and eat, but it is not called a wine shop, but a restaurant. Follow the stairs to the second floor, with carved beams and painted buildings, bright lights, and moving figures.
Yu Ye was a little dazzled.
Angelica walked straight to the counter, pointed at the menu cards on the wall and gave the shopkeeper's instructions, then led Yu Ye to a wooden table and sat down. The wine glasses and chopsticks placed on the table are all made of jade and are extremely exquisite. There are more than ten tables, almost full. Among the guests present, we could actually see several Qi Refining monks.
Dang Guiyi stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, and said happily: "I don't like mountain delicacies, I only like river delicacies. I wonder what your taste is like, do you have any preferences?"
Yu Ye waved his hand.
There are also expensive inns in Daze, but there are no such luxurious restaurants.
"Ha, there's no need to show up. I'll take care of the food and accommodation this time, so feel free to take advantage!"
Dang Guiyi was a stingy person who cared about even a spiritual stone, but after coming to Mutian City, he suddenly became generous.
After a while, the food and wine were ready, including a basin of fish soup, several plates of dishes, and a pot of old wine.
Angelica held a pot and poured wine, and gestured: "Fellow Taoist Yu, please——"
Yu Ye picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The aroma was lingering on his lips and teeth, the aftertaste was sweet, and the wine was mellow. He nodded, drank it all in one gulp, picked up the jade chopsticks and took a bite of the food, which was also delicious in color and aroma.
"how?"
"good!"
"How does it compare with the food and wine of your Weiguo?"
"Ah good!"
"please--"
Angelica Yi kept urging people to drink and eat, while Yu Ye just immersed himself in eating and drinking.
In a short while, I was full of wine and food. The waiter brought hot hand towels and hot soup. Angelica took a handkerchief to wipe off the oil on her face, then rinsed her mouth with hot soup, then threw out a piece of silver, said "No need to change", stood up and walked away with head held high.
After leaving the restaurant, there is the street.
As night falls, lights flicker on the streets and people come and go.
Yu Ye didn't know where to go, so he had to follow Angelica Yi. Angelica Yi put her hands behind her back and looked arrogant.
After walking a few hundred feet, he turned right into an alley, leaving the busy street, and the surrounding area became quiet. Going to Baizhang again, we can see a lantern hanging beside the gate with the three characters Zhenbaofang on it.
Dang Guiyi stopped and said mysteriously: "Come with me——"
The door is open and unimpeded.
Before they reached the courtyard, two aggressive men suddenly appeared and blocked the way.
"My surname is Dang, and his surname is Yu."
As soon as Angelica reported her last name, she deliberately showed off, turned her palm over, and pulled out a piece of silver out of thin air.
The two men took the money and said respectfully: "Two immortals, please——"
Passing through the courtyard, you are faced with a large house.
The big house has four doors, all of which are open. Under the porch, a row of lanterns hung. Above the lintel, there is a wooden plaque hanging with three characters engraved on it, Zhenbaofang. The open door and the surroundings of the house seemed to be enveloped by a vague layer of magical power.
Yu Ye hesitated at his feet.
But I heard Angelica Yi send a message: "The rules of Zhenbaofang are to pay a deposit at the entrance to ensure that you have no worries when you come and go. You Taoist friends can rest assured!"
Follow the stone steps and enter the door.
The house is very spacious and tall, with exquisite furnishings and bright lights. There are wooden cases and tables in the center, and a row of wooden shelves on the left and right, displaying various antiques. Near the wooden shelf, there was a straw mat, a wooden table, and a dozen people sitting cross-legged.
Yu Ye's eyes glanced around, and his heart skipped a beat.
Although there are more than ten people present here with different ages, looks, and costumes, half of them are monks, and all of them are not weak in cultivation.
"Haha, comrades, you are polite!"
Dang Guiyi raised his hands and saluted with everyone, then walked to a wooden table and sat down, but saw Yu Ye stunned on the spot, he hurriedly said: "Fellow Taoist Yu——"
