Time flies, and ten days pass in a blink of an eye.
In the northern region of Dongmi Prefecture, there is a city in the state of Zhao.
Chen Heng was sitting cross-legged on the futon, with his sleeves and robe falling naturally from his knees. He was holding a piece of tortoise shell in his hand, silently practicing Xuan Gong and muttering something in his mouth.
There are countless brilliance flickering in his eyes, like bright stars that flicker and fade, erratic.
At first, the light spots were as numerous as fireflies in late summer, densely packed, but gradually, they were reduced to a hundred or ten.
And after dozens of breaths passed, even the number of hundred and ten was gone, only a little pure and innocent light was left, which was extremely dazzling, making the white wall shine for a while, as if it was being burned by a stream of fire.
At this moment.
Chen Heng suddenly had a realization in his heart. He raised his eyes slightly and looked out the window calmly.
As far as the eye can see, there are only streets and alleys separated by a tall courtyard wall.
Although it is far away from the bustling city of Yanliu, it is not very bustling, but it is still lively. The houses are in groups, row upon row, like a long snake, stretching straight for several miles.
The sounds of vendors hawking along the street, neighbors talking, and children noisy are also constant.
After Chen Heng looked out the window.
Soon, a high-pitched female voice sounded, and the scream was very harsh.
"Zhang San, you are a thief and a genius. Old people say that the road between enemies is narrow. This is indeed true."
He said slowly in his heart.
The next breath, the female voice outside the wall shouted the same words, her voice was fierce!
"There is no rice left in the house to cook with. When are you going to repay the half a penny you owe me?"
He thought again.
And the same.
The female voice outside the wall also said the same thing, word for word...
"Stone Lady is very merciful, and if you allow a villain to show mercy, you will be -"
"Stone Lady is very merciful! Let the villain show mercy!"
"If I forgive you, who will show mercy to me——"
"Should I show mercy to you? Who will show mercy to me?!"
…
After premeditating eight or nine sentences in succession, Chen Heng felt his eyes go dark, his head felt slightly dizzy for a moment, he closed his eyes and dispersed the spell.
After placing the tortoise shell in his hand on the table, he began to regulate his Qi and breath.
However, the noise in the street did not stop. On the contrary, it became louder and intensified.
Finally, there were bursts of tearing clothes and howling, which attracted many neighborhood leaders to come to try to persuade them to make peace, creating a new bustle.
Chen Heng just turned a deaf ear to these.
After about a stick of incense and using the Xuan Gong around his body several times, he suddenly opened his eyes and smiled.
"It seems that I am quite talented in Tianji. At least, I am better than Kendo."
He caught the tortoise shell in his hand, looked at it intently for a few times, and thought to himself.
…
Tianji said.
It is also called the divination method, the ancestral science or the way of the gods.
It is a supreme means of divination, derivation, stargazing, fortune-telling, character splitting, fortune telling, date selection, dream interpretation, miscellaneous divination, etc., to gain clarification, obtain bad luck, and predict the future.
In Xudutian.
It’s also a show of learning!
Therefore, things are born with images, and images are born with numbers.
Those ancient gods and men who knew it all followed Yin and Yang, and used magic...
Chen Heng's divination method was derived from Qiao Ying, and was classified into the divination genre, which was called "Zhou Yuan's Secret Book of Turtle Divination".
When performing fortune-telling, it needs to be supplemented by the carapace of a thousand-year-old turtle to offset the backlash.
Every time the spell is used, a layer of the tortoise's shell will be burned away by the true flames in the dark. It can only be used a hundred or ten times at most, and even a thousand-year-old spirit tortoise shell will be completely eliminated.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, never to return.
Although this "Zhou Yuan Secret Book Turtle Divination" is quite expensive, it is a technique that ordinary cultivators cannot afford.
But just as powerful.
It has extraordinary power!
Otherwise, Qiao Ying would not be overjoyed after searching for this method in a former residence overseas.
He discarded the divination methods given to him by his clan and concentrated on studying "Zhou Yuan's Secret Book of Turtle Divination".
But in this case, it is not the legal tradition of the family, nor is it an opportunity to deliberately conceal it.
"Zhou Yuan's Secret Book Turtle Divination" does not have any Taoist prohibitions, but Chen Heng was given an advantage.
Moreover, Qiao Ying obtained the original authentic copy of "Zhou Yuan's Secret Book Turtle Divination" and kept it hidden in her body so that she could study it at any time and check for any omissions.
It doesn’t even need the help of the One True Dharma Realm.
While searching Qiao Ying's belongings.
Chen Heng found this book easily...
…
Although it is said that emphasizing technique and despising Tao has always been a taboo in the cultivation of immortality.
We have learned from our predecessors, so we have to take precautions.
But Chen Heng has just completed the first level of Zi Mansion - Returning to the Origin of All Wonders. In a short time, he wants to break through another small barrier and reach the second level of Zi Mansion.
You need to work hard to polish your divine will in this world, and you have to go through a lot of hardships. It is not something that can be achieved easily.
The art of swordsmanship is easy to say, and with at least three to five days of effort, one can reach the third level and use the method of refining a sword into a sword. And once you realize how to refine a sword into a gang, the achievement of refining a sword into silk will never be too far away.
But there are ways to protect one's life, such as the innate divine light of the sun or the four-mountain duel.
These are all things that cannot be rushed.
It only takes a few months and half a year to get a glimmer of inspiration.
This first.
After getting this "Zhou Yuan Secret Book Turtle Divination" from Qiao Ying.
Chen Heng just wanted to increase his knowledge and draw parallels, and without spending too much thought, he decided that this method was necessary.
But I never expected it.
He actually has some talent in fortune-telling...
After practicing several times in the One True Dharma Realm, it lasted only ten years in this world.
He has cultivated this method to the realm of Xiaocheng, and he is only a short distance away from the realm of medium-level success!
This discovery made Chen Heng slightly happy and unexpected.
However, those Qiao family disciples like Qiao Ying are only high-level practitioners in the Zifu realm and have limited net worth.
Among them, it is the most precious and most useful relic to Chen Heng.
It's just a "Zhouyuan Secret Book Turtle Divination" and the carapace of a thousand-year-old turtle.
The remaining items are nothing.
All are mediocre.
For example, tasteless.
It’s useless to eat, and it’s a pity to throw it away…
As for Wei Wanhua, since most of her possessions were destroyed by the Yuanxu Demon-Conquering Sword, she had to throw away those that might be in danger.
All that was left was an unconquered Netherworld Demon and a few bottles of gray river water.
There is no need to mention the power of Youfu Mo.
This demon is the same as the Great Sumeru Emperor Demon. They are both members of the royal family among the heavenly demons. They possess boundless fierce power. Their potential can lift the sky and their power can break mountains!
Once his strength is generated and his bloodline is fully conceived, he will become self-sufficient in supernatural powers. He is indeed an out-and-out ferocious demon!
It seems that the royal family of heavenly demons such as the Youwang Demon and the Great Xumi Tianzi Demon have always been the best kind of demons, and they have always been priceless in the Xudu Heaven.
Not only people from the Six Demonic Sects regard them as favorite and precious things.
Even among the eight sects of Xuanmen, there are many senior masters who are raising these kinds of people, treating them as aids during battles and used to resist disasters.
However, because this Netherworld Demon has not yet been subdued, its ferocious nature has not disappeared, and Wei Wanhua specially used a spell to restrict it, making it fall into a deep sleep and unable to wake up.
In this situation, Chen Heng would not do anything to break the spell on the ghost demon and wake it up.
With the insight of the Escape Shuttle.
That Youfu Demon has full bloodline and is self-sufficient in supernatural powers, which can be compared to the realm of Jindan Zhenren in the orthodox immortal way.
Once it wakes up, it will definitely be a scene of thousands of miles of red land and desolate life, and it will create endless killings!
Unless he gives up a Yuanxu Demon-Conquering Sword, it will be impossible to restrain it with Chen Heng's current methods.
This is like a hot potato.
It can be seen.
But I couldn’t eat it in such a hurry...
As for those bottles of gray river water, they are a great external medicine for practicing the true water of the underworld. With the help of these things, when practicing the true water of the underworld, you can get twice the result with half the effort and greatly shorten the time of training and polishing.
Chen Heng remembered that when facing Yuanxu's demon-suppressing sword, Wei Wanhua had used dragon-transformation real fire to fight the enemy, but the real fire was easily broken without causing any disturbance.
But now, several bottles of gray river water were found from Wei Wanhua, a precious foreign object used to practice the true water of Huangquan.
From this point of view, she wanted to do the harmonious thing of water and fire.
In addition to a true fire method, I also want to refine a true water method...
…
"The relics on Wei Wanhua's body are the most valuable, including the Youwan Demon and Gray River Water.
The former is a royal family among heavenly demons, and is even more extraordinary than the Evil Angry Yin Sheng Demon. The difference between the two is simply clouds and mud. As for the gray river water, it is a rare foreign object..."
Chen Heng walked to the window and looked at the dim skylight outside.
Although it was already noon, the world in front of us was not very clear. A winter sun was hidden behind heavy mist clouds, looming.
The light emitted only made the gloomy clouds appear a little hazy yellow, and then it was no longer sustainable.
And as the wind blew the clouds away, even the few strands of light leaking from the gaps in the clouds were instantly crushed and disappeared.
"However, neither the Youfu Demon nor the gray river water can help the matter in front of me... But the "Zhou Yuan Secret Book Turtle Divination" and the Millennium Turtle Shell found from Qiao Ying, to me, It also needs to be more practical.”
He thought to himself, his eyes moving slightly.
And if you look carefully, they have stayed in Zhao Guowen City for a full ten years since Qiao Rui arrived.
During these ten days, there was not even the slightest disturbance, which made Chen Heng slightly surprised.
He had already imagined the worst-case scenario in his mind.
But everything went smoothly, which was also beyond his expectation...
"The flowing fire has transformed into the cave sky, the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea..."
Chen Heng frowned slightly and his eyes darkened.
But this time.
Two more voices suddenly sounded outside, and they were cheerful, disrupting what he was thinking.
"How did senior guess that lantern riddle? I didn't even expect it to be a little monkey."
The female voice laughed.
"Hey, what's this? I've traveled all over the country in my life, and I haven't seen any customs or customs! It's not surprising that trivial things are not surprising!"
An old voice responded triumphantly.
"What about senior...brother? Can he guess it? The stall owner said that he has not been resting these days. When business is good, he will come to the market to set up a stall."
"A lump of wood, how do you know this... are you counting on him?"
The voice laughed loudly and said disdainfully:
"Have you ever heard of asking Yu Blind? It is quite appropriate to use it here!"
Soon, with a crisp sound of the lock, Qiao Rui and Dunjie Shuo, whose appearance had changed, were seen excitedly walking into the courtyard.
Behind him, the waitress Xiao Jian was carrying large and small bags, with a grimace on her face, looking at the two people in front of her, quite helpless.
After a few days of peace and quiet, under the instigation of the Escape Shuttle, Qiao Rui has greatly broadened her horizons in this mortal world and had a great time.
But in Xiao Jian's view.
After all, there is a difference between immortals and mortals.
It’s better to do less things like wearing a white dragon fish suit...
"Master...brother! I brought you icing sugar!"
In the small courtyard, the wind was very cold, and everything such as tables, chairs, stone benches, etc. seemed to be stained with a layer of frost. Combined with the dim sky above, they looked like an unclear old ink painting with mottled colors.
The plum tree in the corner of the courtyard has already bloomed and is in full bloom.
Once inside.
I can vaguely smell the aroma of spring cold.
Clear and light.
Also vaguely——
Qiao Rui looked up and saw a figure standing in front of the window in the distance. She excitedly waved forward and said with the corners of her lips raised:
"In addition to the icing, I also brought you a candy man! It's very sweet!"
Chen Heng nodded slightly and said nothing.
"Miss Zhou is really annoying. She is so well-behaved at such a young age, but she is not as evil as my family!"
When a passing woman saw this, she couldn't help but smile, took out a big white pear from the basket, and forced it into Qiao Rui's hand.
"Thank you, ma'am..."
Qiao Rui knew that she was a neighbor who lived nearby, so she declined several times, but when she saw that she really couldn't give in, she accepted her offer.
The woman was even more happy when she saw this, and touched Qiao Rui's head lovingly.
Qiao Rui didn't think she was a fool either, she just smiled and her expression didn't change much.
The Escape Shuttle put his hands behind his back and watched this scene with a smile.
Xiao Zhen was already depressed, but now she was even more helpless. She could only turn her face away and not look at it.
"Alas, alas, this child..."
The woman smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed to a slit, she looked at the Escape Shuttle and said:
"Uncle Zhou, has your little niece ever been engaged? I don't know which husband can be so lucky!"
Now Chen Heng and others use pseudonyms.
Dunjieshuo is Old Uncle Zhou, the uncle of the two of them.
Chen Heng is a traveling scholar, and Qiao Rui specially accompanied Dunjiesuo to visit his sister.
Hearing the woman's question, Dunjiesuo shook his head: "My niece's matter is not urgent, but if you are so anxious to find a matchmaker, you might as well take the trouble to find a good matchmaker for my nephew."
"Scholar Zhou is not engaged yet?"
"Never, never."
Dunjie Shuodeng suddenly became interested in joking. He stroked his long beard and was about to ramble on, but was interrupted by a slight cough.
"It's freezing outside, uncle, it's better not to stand for a long time. The New Year is just around the corner. If you catch typhoid fever, it won't be pretty."
Chen Heng walked out of the house, bowed his hands to the woman, said something sarcastic, and then walked into the small courtyard supporting Dunjie with a depressed face.
Qiao Rui waved her hands vigorously at the woman, smiled apologetically, and jumped up to follow her.
"..."
Xiao Jian felt as if she had been granted amnesty, and hurriedly stepped out to follow him.
As soon as he entered the small courtyard, he couldn't wait to lock it.
"You kid! So what if you're good at teasing me, I--"
Just as the Escape Shuttle grunted, he felt something was wrong, his eyes widened, he was startled, and said:
"Wait a minute, have you already mastered the "Zhou Yuan's Secret Book of Turtle Divination"?"
Chen Heng nodded slightly.
"you……"
The Escape Shuttle gasped when he heard this, his attention was instantly turned away, and he could no longer care about any jokes.
He pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes were fixed, and he said solemnly:
"It has only been a few days and you have achieved something? It seems that you are indeed very talented in the divination method! In the future, if you become a member of the Yuchen Sect and use this wisdom to achieve several great achievements.
I'm just afraid of Lian Yuchen's eight methods of fortune-telling.
All can be learned! "
…
