Zhao Fuyun slowly closed the door.
He looked at the wet white cat hidden behind the door and frowned slightly. He recognized it as the white cat he had seen on the bed where Zhuang Xiange died when he was in the Chijun Temple.
The white cat couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he saw that he was just looking at him, but his eyes seemed to be thinking about something.
The person in front of him now had completely different temperaments than when he had just faced the evil crowd.
Before, he seemed to be a peerless expert, fearless and fearless, killing other people's spiritual beasts, but he felt that it was natural. At that time, he was aggressive.
But now, his eyes were filled with deep thoughts.
Of course, Zhao Fuyun is not a sharp-edged person. Having lived in two lifetimes, he knows very well that the first bird will be shot with a gun, and that a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. When he was practicing in the mountains, he rarely showed his sharp edge. It seems that the fewer people know about the magic a person practices, the better.
Only a fool would show off his magic.
On the way here, he knew that this place was a chaotic place. If he practiced with the door closed, relying on his own cultivation and his status as a disciple of Tiandu Mountain, he would be fine.
But that's not what he wanted.
He felt that the death of the former eunuch should not just offend the people here, nor should it be as simple as violating their taboos.
The words he said before and his strong performance even killed monkeys that were obviously trained by others.
It was just to test whether they would dare to blatantly kill the teachings sent by the Great Zhou Kingdom.
As a result, not only did they not dare, they didn't even rush in to argue. Perhaps their words had an effect. They had killed one edict before, so they didn't dare to kill the second one?
Could it be the Red Flame Army of the Great Zhou Kingdom that frightened them?
It is definitely impossible. Although the Red Flame Army of the Great Zhou Kingdom is powerful and can cut down mountains and temples, and attack cities and territories, what can they do if the opponent kills people and escapes thousands of miles away?
So what is there here that makes them unwilling to kill people anymore and not want to attract the attention of higher beings in the Great Zhou Kingdom?
Of course, Zhao Fuyun, who established the dojo, has the 'Red Lord' sitting in the hall. Facing a group of people who raise Yin Gu, he has a natural advantage and does not have much fear.
So is it necessary to find out how Zhuang Xiange got killed?
He didn't believe that Zhuang Xiange was killed just because he turned over a black temple and converted it into a Chijun Temple.
As for the decree to abolish the black temple, County Magistrate Zhu Puyi also said that he only said it in private and that it was impossible to do so at this stage.
So, did the people here kill him for these two reasons?
He felt that there must be a reason that others didn't know. It was possible that Zhuang Xiange had discovered something and didn't even tell Zhu Puyi, and those people were worried about it, so they were still monitoring Zhu Puyi.
As for Zhuang Xiange, it was because they discovered their secret that they killed him and silenced him.
Of course, all this may be just because I am suspicious, or it may be because they know that they are disciples of Tiandu Mountain.
He slowly knelt down and looked at the white cat in front of him, which looked a little thin because its fur was all wet.
"Cat demon?"
Zhao Fuyun seemed to be asking a question, but also seemed to be talking to himself. He stretched out his hand to pinch the pair of ears that were pink in the firelight.
The white cat leaned back slightly, and at the same time raised its front left paw, as if it was ready to scratch Zhao Fuyun's hand at any time.
Zhao Fuyun retracted his hand, probed forward with his nose, and inhaled, smelling the breath.
If it is really a demon, there will be a special smell. It can be said to be the unique smell of a demon, and some people say it is a fragrance.
He said again: "Cat demon? What did you steal from them?"
The white cat jumped up towards the window sill next to it and let out a 'meow', as if in denial.
"hehe!"
Zhao Fuyun stood up and stopped looking at her. Instead, he sat on the wicker chair again, put the book on his stomach, and then closed his eyes, as if he was sleeping or just resting his mind.
The rain was still falling, and the white cat returned to the house again. She felt that it was warm here, and its pair of cat eyes were glowing in the firelight, and it was looking around, as if it was having a thousand thoughts in its heart.
------------------
It was already between Shen and You. A lamp was placed in the middle of the table, opening up a circle of darkness and creating a void in the middle.
There were several people sitting around the table, leaning against the wall, and some chairs were empty.
"The monkey I have trained and raised for most of my life and who is closer than my son is dead. Is this the end of it?"
The speaker looked strong, with a short beard on his chin, and there was a rolled whip on the table next to him.
His feet were bare, his trousers and sleeves were rolled up, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He also has the same surname of Li and a given name of Heipi, but he has a nickname - Monkey Charmer. As he gets older, his magic power becomes stronger and stronger, so everyone calls him the Monkey Master.
He never married, but he had many women, but no one gave him children, so he accepted many adopted sons instead of disciples like others.
Sitting in a seat across from him was an old man with a bell hanging from his waist.
His surname is Yin, and his name is Yin Wushou. His family has a family tradition of corpse-refining, corpse-raising, and corpse-crushing. He is considered a master in the entire Wuze County.
Those who serve corpses need to get married and start a family before they start to truly refine corpses, because after they start to come into contact with corpses, the yang energy in the human body will be consumed very quickly, and the yin energy will accumulate, and then it will be impossible to perform the rituals of husband and wife.
Many heretical methods always have disadvantages of one kind or another, that's why they are called heresy. Even if they can obtain temporary spells, it is always difficult for them to live long.
Opposite him, an old woman sat. The old woman looked a little stooped, with deep wrinkles on her face and no color at all.
Her surname is You, and no one remembers her name. Everyone calls her You Shiva. She has a female water ghost, and she always lives alone in the reeds beside the Fog River.
"What do you want?" Yu Shiva's voice was a little hoarse, and it felt like there was a mouthful of phlegm in her throat that she couldn't swallow or spit out.
"This man killed the monkey and threatened us. We must let him know who has the final say here!" Li Heipi slammed the table and said loudly.
"Don't be so loud. We are not deaf yet and can hear you." Yin Wushou, the corpse bearer next to him, waved his hand and said calmly.
"Kill him again? Do you really want to provoke the Red Flame Army of the Great Zhou Kingdom?" You Shiva asked coldly.
"Are you scared by the Red Flame Army? I think it's impossible for the Red Flame Army to come here just because one or two of the teachings died. The Lord Fu will not allow them to come." Li Heipi said with certainty.
"What about Tiandu Mountain?" Yin Wushou still asked in a calm voice.
Li Heipi's expression was stagnant, and he pondered for a moment before saying: "It's hard to say whether he is a disciple of Tiandu Mountain or not. We have only heard about it, and no one has confirmed it for us. Besides, what if he is a disciple of Tiandu Mountain?" Sample?"
"In this vast mountain, even if someone comes from Tiandu Mountain, what can they do to us? If not, we can just hide in Qianshan Country."
"It's so easy to say. In this case, why did you submit to the Zhou Dynasty at that time?" Yu Shiva said.
"That was the decision made by Fujun and his friends, but they didn't ask me." Li Heipi said stiffly.
"Haha, I remember that the emperor sent envoys here to ask questions. Some people said that only the emperor was following his lead." Yin Wushou said.
When someone mentioned what he had said, Li Heipi became angry and said, "Just tell me what to do. My monkey can't die in vain anyway."
"Actually, in the final analysis, he didn't come to provoke us. As long as we don't provoke him, it's fine. As you can see, he built a dojo here in only two days..."
"The aura of divine power in that light makes my 'Corpse Puppet' dare not come near. He is only able to do this by collecting lamps used by ordinary people in our county. I'm sure he will still have something on his hands." As for other magical weapons, disciples of major sects have many methods." Yin Wushou said.
"Why are there so many disciples and no one is sure?" Li Heipi was obviously unwilling to admit it. He knew that if it was confirmed that he was a disciple of Tiandu Mountain, the county would have more concerns!
"Disciples of the small sect don't have the ability to build a dojo in such a short time. I'll give you two days, can you do it?" Yu Shiva said.
"What happened to you today? You all gave me eye drops, didn't you?" Li Heipi said: "Although my big monkey is dead, I still have other monkeys. Do you think I have become a useless person?"
Li Heipi's eyes flashed with a fierce light, looking back and forth at You Shiva and Yin Wushou.
Yin Wushou sighed and said: "Don't think so much. We are in the same foggy area. We don't have to say how good our friendship is, but at least we all know the basics. We know very well what your Monkey Master is capable of. Don't You said such angry words..."
"We are just saying this to calm you down." Yu Shiva said in a thick voice.
"Yes, we killed that Zhuang Xiange because he had a reason to die, but Zhao Fuyun did not." Yin Wushou said.
"Don't forget that cat." Li Heipi said coldly.
"That cat just broke into the perimeter and was discovered by us." Yin Wushou said.
"Then we are chasing and killing like this. If that cat tells this Zhao Fuyun, won't the other party be suspicious?" Li Heipi said: "We all know very well that it is definitely not a cat demon, and it has no demonic aura. , but is transformed by human beings.”
"If you say it, there will inevitably be doubts..." Yin Wushou pondered for a moment and said: "However, let's make an appointment with Zhao Fuyun tomorrow to explain why we are chasing that 'cat'. I think, he In order to find out the news, I will definitely come..."
"If he comes, can we take the opportunity to poison him?" Li Heipi said excitedly.
Yin Wushou touched the beard on his chin and muttered: "We'll see what happens then. Tomorrow will be a good time to find out his truth and tell us what his main purpose is here. Speaking of which, when the new edict arrives, we, as locals, People should be given a banquet to welcome them..."
"It should be welcomed..." Yu Shiva also said.
"Also, inform the Ma family." Yin Wushou said.
------------------
At dawn, the rain had stopped, and the 'cat' left just before dawn. Zhao Fuyun did not explore her secrets because he felt her rejection.
He walked through the heavy gate between the back yard and the front yard. There was a well there. He fetched a bucket of water from the well and boiled the water.
He would burn the water he drank here, and when he poured it into a cup, he would shine it under a lamp. If there was something in the water, it would not be hidden under the power of the lamp.
After washing up, he went outside to perform the exercises in the courtyard.
It rained all night, but when it stopped the sky cleared up.
The courtyard door is closed tightly, facing east to enjoy the purple air of the morning sun.
His belly was rising and falling slowly, and he raised his hands high, as if embracing the sun, but the void he embraced was filled with light like clouds, which he continuously sucked into his belly.
Tiandu Mountain’s practice emphasizes a step-by-step approach, and I hope all disciples can lay a solid foundation in the early stages.
Understanding yin and yang and reconciling yin and yang are very important.
When his practice came to an end, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
There was a young man wearing straw sandals and trousers, knocking on the door. Zhao Fuyun quickly understood the purpose of his visit.
Although the other party said that in order to welcome his arrival, he would hold a banquet to welcome him, and although he tried to say it nicely, Zhao Fuyun knew that everything happened last night.
He wanted to know why that cat was being hunted, but he didn't want to know it in a forced way.
He wanted to know how Zhuang Xiange died, but he didn't want to put himself in danger.
There was plenty of time, and he could afford to wait. As long as he waited long enough and his people were here, there would always be a chance.
Now that the other party's people are taking the initiative to contact him, it seems to be an opportunity, but Zhao Fuyun doesn't think it is, because now is the time when the other party is highly nervous.
He didn't want to risk his life by leaving his dojo and entering someone else's lair.
So he refused, and he thought that maybe someone would come to help him find a way.
He only needs to drink some water to live without grain. Unless he had taken the purple energy of the morning sun in the morning, he would not have had to drink much water, because taking the yin dew at night would naturally replenish water.
However, if you take the purple energy of the morning sun in the morning, you will feel a little restless during the day, so you will want to drink water. This is why you need to take yin dew at night to reconcile yin and yang.
He sat there and practiced some mysterious light first.
To outsiders, this mysterious light is just a flickering clear light.
But the practitioners themselves know very well that this mysterious light is the condensation of magic power and the polishing of thoughts.
The magic power at the beginning was fluttering and soft like cotton flowers. It could not be picked up or driven away.
But with continuous polishing and condensation, the thoughts of Dharma will develop real power.
There are many ways to polish the rope, such as the tangle method. This knotting method is constantly knotted in the consciousness with one's own Dharma thoughts. He remembers that when he first practiced, one knot lasted for more than a month, and he felt dizzy. Brain swelling.
Then the rope braiding method is to divide one's consciousness into several strands and then braid them into a rope. If it can be woven in the consciousness without being scattered, then the magic power can be transformed into mysterious light.
After that, he hung a bell there, and then used his own mysterious light to impact it again and again, making the bell ring.
Being able to extinguish flames and absorb water with Xuan Guang is considered a master among Xuan Guang monks.
There is a mysterious and mysterious word "fa" in it, and there is also a word "force". The law must be understood and the power must be practiced.
Now of course Zhao Fuyun can use Xuanguang to extinguish flames and absorb water.
But every few days, he still has to practice 'tangling', 'braiding' and blowing bells, but it's not just tangling, braiding and blowing bells, but the three together, separated into several strands.
This not only allows you to continuously consolidate your own profound light, but also allows you to separate your thoughts and multi-purpose.
The basic skills of many spells require long-term practice before you can see the results.
