After sending Qiu Wu away, Hu Long, Murong Yan, his master and apprentice, and a coachman hired to replace Qiu Wu, left Yuncheng County together.
Hu Yuan gave instructions to the Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo ahead, and then hid in the car and carefully studied the three volumes of the Heavenly Book.
These three volumes of ancient books are also a rare treasure in themselves. The pages are all made of silk woven with an unknown silk string. It is as thin as cicada wings but extremely tough, and is not afraid of erosion by water and fire.
The divine soul cultivation method in the previous volume of "Tao Scroll" is called "Nine Heavens Purple Mansion True Chapter".
"Zifu" is the upper Dantian, which enters from the center of the eyebrows. One inch is the bright hall, two inches is the bridal chamber, and three inches is the Zifu. It is one inch wide and two points, also known as the Void Point, which contains the innate Qi of the True One.
The essence of spiritual cultivation is to entrust the spiritual soul in Zifu through the method of visualization, and then extract and refine the vitality of heaven and earth, feeding back the innate Qi of the True One in Zifu, nourishing the soul and giving birth to the original spirit.
In his previous life, Hu Yuan also received a "Cold Jade Soul Refining Technique" that condensed the soul. He was able to advance to the lowest level, and many of them had the ability to strengthen the soul by practicing this method. It's a pity that this method is only a fragment and lacks the key points of refining energy and transforming into spirit. Now that I read the "Nine Heavens Purple Mansion True Chapter", it is like a sudden enlightenment.
The one hundred and eight kinds of magical powers and spells recorded in the middle volume "Dharma Scroll" are collectively called the "Nine Mysterious Secrets of Slaying Evils", ranging from moving stars to fights, moving mountains and seas, to slaying beasts to drive away ghosts, and nightmares to suppress dreams. It can be said to be all-encompassing and endlessly varied.
Hu Yuan has lived for four lives, and he has cultivated to the level of invincibility in the world in all three lives. The strength of his soul far exceeds that of ordinary great masters. Using this foundation to enter the path of Taoist practice, it is actually twice the result with half the effort. It is almost a matter of time to get a glimpse of the door, and soon I can initially use several small techniques in the "Nine Mysteries of Evil-Slaying Secrets" that are not very powerful but each have their own mystery.
The method of ranking formations in the second volume of "Soldier Volume" is called "Liujia Qimen General Hub". It talks about using the principles of Qimen and the spirit of Liujia to turn the power of time, place, and people into formations. Disillusionment, life and death, all depend on the thought of the person setting up the formation.
Hu Yuan is well versed in Yili, and it is quite easy to master the art of attacking Liujia Qimen. He has made some gains in a short period of time.
Murong Yan knew that her master was studying the newly acquired heavenly book, so she did not interrupt him. She just escorted the mule cart while trying to figure out the nine-style swordsmanship that had already begun to take shape.
On this day, the master and apprentice had left the boundary of East and West Beijing Road and entered Mengzhou on North Beijing Road.
The carriage and horses passed a mountain ridge along the road. There was a clear stream at the foot of the hillside in front. There were more than a dozen thatched huts built against the mountain and the water. Next to the huts was a dense willow forest. One of the big willow trees was as thick as five or six people could hug it. , the tree is covered with dead vines, and a wine flag hangs high on the treetop, but it is a village hotel.
Murong Yan saw that it was almost noon, so she thought of stopping at this hotel to have a meal.
She saw a woodcutter cutting wood and collecting firewood on a hillside not far away, so she asked the hired driver to ask about the location and learned that it was a place called "Cross Slope".
Just when he was about to ask Master for instructions, Hu Long got out of the car first.
After getting off the car, he looked towards the hotel for a while, with an ugly look on his face. He turned to Murong Yan and ordered: "Yan'er, go and restrain all the people in the hotel, especially the owner and his wife." .”
The coachman on the side was definitely startled, and Murong Yan was also stunned for a moment, not knowing why.
But she already knew that her master was the most powerful, or had noticed something was wrong, so she immediately agreed and rode forward.
There was a woman sitting by the window sill in front of the hotel. She had hairpins all over her head and her hair was shining with golden light. She was dressed in silk and silk and looked "luxurious".
Seeing Murong Yan in rich brocade clothes, wearing a sword, and riding a famous horse from a distance, her eyes immediately lit up and she hurriedly called in: "Master, a fat sheep has arrived!"
A middle-aged man walked out in response, looking in the direction of the woman's finger, with a look of hesitation on his face, and whispered: "Madam, this person seems to be a martial artist. If he misses, there may be consequences."
The woman spat and said: "Based on the anesthetic passed down by my ancestors, no matter what kind of person he is, he is just a piece of stinky meat on the chopping board. Look carefully, the pearl on the kid's head, the sword on his body, the sword on his crotch A white horse is not an ordinary thing, it is worth tens of thousands of gold at least. After making this deal, we will have endless food and drink for the rest of our lives!"
The man's eyes flashed and he whispered: "It's done over there, just be more careful!"
"Don't worry, everything is on my fault!" The woman smiled happily, and then shouted loudly, "Where are all the people who died? Why don't you go out to greet the guests!"
At her shout, the man behind the transfer counter was pretending to look through the account books, and a round-headed clerk with a shrewd face agreed, walked out quickly, and greeted Murong Yan with a smile as he approached.
"This guest, this little shop..."
Murong Yan was never sloppy in doing things. Since her master had already given instructions, she had no choice but to obey them.
So before the guy could finish his sentence, her sheathed sword had already hit his acupuncture point.
No longer paying attention to the man who instantly turned into a wood sculpture and clay sculpture, Murong Yan got off his horse and walked straight to the door of the hotel.
"It's a tough idea to come to the door, copycat guy!"
The woman saw clearly, and immediately changed her color and shouted, then took out two cow-ear daggers hidden close to her body from under her skirt, and was the first to rush out of the hotel.
The man also picked up an eyebrow-length stick from under the counter and followed the woman out.
Seven or eight more waiters came from all over the place upon hearing the sound, and surrounded Murong Yan with knives and sticks in their hands.
Murong Yan looked around at everyone and said coldly: "No wonder Master wants me to take you down. It turns out this is a black shop!"
The man saw that this young man had extremely advanced acupuncture skills, and he really didn't want to make such a strong enemy, so he smiled and said, "This young man may have misunderstood, I'm..."
Murong Yan didn't have time to listen to the other party's rumble. The long sword in his hand suddenly unsheathed and turned into a sky full of green sword light that spread in all directions.
Those guys were just strong men with a little knowledge of martial arts. How could they handle such exquisite swordsmanship? They just felt the green light in front of their eyes was dazzling and the coldness outside their bodies was overwhelming. Then they felt a slight sting on their bodies, and then their whole bodies became stiff and could no longer move. Half a finger.
However, the couple had some tricks up their sleeves. With a wave of their short sticks and two swords, they actually stopped Murong Yan from stabbing them.
"It's interesting. I didn't expect you two masters to be hidden in a remote mountain village!"
Murong Yan was a little surprised, but she did not stop. The sword light merged into a long river and swept over the two people who were flying backward.
Although the couple were considered masters in the world, how could they stand against Murong Yan's long sword? After gritting their teeth and holding on for six or seven moves, they were still unable to avoid being stabbed by a wisp of sword energy spitting out from the tip of the sword. Unable to move in place.
At this time, Hu Long had already asked the trembling coachman to drive closer.
Murong Yan stepped forward and said, "Master, I'm afraid this is a black shop. How should we deal with them?"
While she was asking questions, she was also a little puzzled. With the world in turmoil, there were so many people who turned into bandits because they were desperate.
Along the way, they also saw many strong men who occupied the mountains as kings or the water as thieves.
As long as it doesn't cause trouble for him, Master has little interest in paying attention to it. Why does he have such "favor" for a small black shop?
Hu Long sighed: "There is a cellar in the backyard of this hotel. Go take a look and you will know how to deal with these people."
Murong Yan went to the backyard with some doubts. After a while, she turned back with a pale face. Thinking of the hellish scene of human skin hanging on the wall and human legs hanging on the beam, even though her mind was as solid as stone, she could not control the urge to vomit. Feel.
Hu Long looked at the people who had their acupoints restrained, shook his head and said: "The murderers in this world may have their own reasons, but I can't figure out what kind of mentality you have to slaughter the same kind of people like pigs. For people to eat. Since you have eliminated your humanity, I can only deprive you of your qualifications as human beings."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves, and all these people fell into the hotel like pieces of paper.
Then he opened his mouth and spurted out red flames that filled the sky, engulfing more than a dozen huts in an instant.
