"Brother Taoist, can you guess the sect of the man in black through his skills?"
Chang Yunbai carefully recalled the battle with the man in black, and said: "It's hard to say, the other party keeps using magic weapons, and I can't see a way out."
The bandit suppression operation failed. He and Pang Liang had returned to Tianfu Temple to rest, and gathered their colleagues from Tianfu Temple to discuss future actions.
Pang Liang and Yu Zhu looked at each other, their expressions full of contempt for Chang Yunbai. No wonder the chief disciple of Xuan Ming Dao had a low reputation and his strength was really poor. But the two of them knew in their hearts that Chang Yunbai's strength was not that unbearable. When Pang Liang ended up saving people and fighting the man in black, they could roughly understand Chang Yunbai's strength, but it just couldn't match Xuan Mingdao's reputation.
Pang Liang gained a lot from this trip. The fight between Chang Yunbai and the man in black, the snipe and the clam, actually gave him an advantage. After this battle, he has figured out the strength of these two people. They are no match for him in single combat, and he can't help but feel a big stone fall in his heart.
Chang Yunbai didn't notice the expressions of the two people. He just frowned and thought about the details of the fight with the man in black. After a while, he said again: "There is still something gained." He met the expectant eyes of the two Sili before him. Then he said: "Although the other party did not disclose his skills, I have competed with him across the magic weapon. I was isolated from the world in the barrier and could not borrow spiritual energy, so I could only support myself, and he was In the outside world, its true energy is strong enough to compete with the top profound realm masters, but it did not activate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the two of us were in a stalemate for a while..."
"It won't arouse the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? What kind of statement is this? If you want to reach that state, you are already not far from the moon-watching realm. Ninety-nine percent of the mysterious realms in the world can't do it." Yu Zhu interrupted, automatically ignoring Chang Yun Bai's description of his own realm.
Yu Zhu felt that as a disciple of Xuan Ming Dao, it was normal for Chang Yunbai to have stronger Qi, but it would be a bit of a boast to say that he could activate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Otherwise, according to Chang Yunbai's theory, he would have lost to a foundation-building monk who only relied on magic weapons at the extreme level of the Mysterious Realm. This is simply impossible. Maybe Chang Yunbai didn't believe that his true strength was inferior to that of a person who was hiding his head and showing off his abilities, so he deliberately tried to make things up for himself.
Chang Yunbai couldn't refute now, so he had no choice but to point out another problem, "Although his Qi is huge, it is not accumulated enough. Senior Brother Pang should be able to testify to this."
As a witness, Pang Liang did know a lot of details. After Chang Yunbai reminded him to recall it, he did discover the problem of the other party's true energy. Although it was covered up by the power of the magic weapon, the quality of the man in black's true energy was completely different from the normal one. Compared with the Xuanjing Zhenqi. Thinking of this, Pang Liang suddenly felt confident and had no worries anymore.
It turns out that he is just a foundation-building monk.
Chang Yunbai didn't know what Pang Liang was thinking, so he continued: "The man in black's magic weapon can fight against the Xuanjing monks, which means that he must have a lot of cultivation resources behind him. He is well-informed and claims to be powerful. There must be someone in the city. His insider, or he himself is a wealthy family in the city."
Pang Liang also understood instantly, "If he is just a foundation-building cultivator, it will take at least eighty years of accumulation to reach a level of Qi comparable to the Xuan realm. We only need to find a foundation-building monk who is over eighty years old and has a powerful family. This will roughly lock in the range of the man in black."
"That's right, we need to be prepared on two fronts. Senior Brother Pang will use the power of Tianfu Temple to search for all the elderly people over eighty years old in nearby towns and villages to prevent any fish from slipping through the net. Give me a list of aristocratic families in the city, and I will go check them out. Case."
"This... Taoist brother has a clever idea to know the situation of each family?"
"It's just some small spells. I need my senior brother to provide me with some materials."
"Then please leave it to Brother Dao. I will arrange for someone to prepare the materials." Pang Liang's confidence surged at this time, and he was no longer so sensitive to Chang Yunbai's requests and special behaviors.
Chang Yunbai took the prepared Taoist robes, banners, flags, tables and benches, and went door to door based on the information provided by Tianfu Temple. His targets are all wealthy families. He can find out the address by asking someone on the roadside, which saves time and trouble. However, the procedure of the spell is a bit cumbersome and nothing can be done in a hurry.
The first place Chang Yunbai went to was in front of Zhang Qingxian's house. He placed his business directly north of Zhang's house, separated by two streets. This distance was just right. Chang Yunbai could rely on his own luck. Juexue clearly knows the popularity of Zhang Mansion. However, it is difficult to distinguish all the popular ones. It takes a lot of time, and the Qi is very fluid. He must first stabilize the Qi before he can find it.
He arranged the table and chairs, and lit a candle on the table. When the candle was half burned, he took the Bagua mirror he had prepared in advance, held a special magic formula in his hand, and looked at the noon sun. As soon as the sun shone, a scorching ray of light refracted out and was cast over the Zhang Mansion, but it was retracted in just a moment. Chang Yunbai then placed the Bagua mirror on the candle and turned it twice, absorbing all the smoke into the Bagua mirror. When enough smoke had been absorbed, he placed it on the table and cooled it down before picking it up and studying it carefully. .
After this set of operations, the popularity of the Zhang family has been copied by the Bagua mirror. Chang Yunbai only needs to rely on calculations to restore the information on the Bagua mirror to know whether there are any foundation builders in the Zhang family who are over eighty years old. Practitioner.
During this period, Chang Yunbai also made some extra money by reading a few fortune tellers for passing fortune tellers. This continued until the evening before Chang Yunbai completely analyzed the fortune tellers. Unfortunately, there was no suspicious target in the Zhang family.
Just a few days passed by in the blink of an eye.
…
After Wang Lexian's visit, Zhou Mingzhi found that his safety was indeed not guaranteed. Now that the situation was chaotic, there was no guarantee that danger would not arise. If his daughter was implicated, what would be the meaning of his life.
So Captain Hong was called over for several days to discuss, hoping to find a team of suitable guards to look after the home and the courtyard.
In recent days, Lieutenant Hong and You Ziji have become familiar with each other and no longer keep a close eye on them. Until one night, he suddenly said to You Ziji: "Xiao You, I will teach you how to drive a carriage."
"Why do you need to learn this thing? Aren't you always worried about others driving?" You Ziji rolled his eyes and guessed the whole story, "You are going to protect the county magistrate, aren't you?"
"You are so smart. Why are you asking so many questions? Hurry up and get the horse. From now on, you have to take the lady out."
Despite Hong Duwei's rough-and-tumble appearance, he is actually very patient when teaching others. He is not upset when You Ziji makes a mistake, and just explains in detail step by step.
In his words, when he was a child, he was very stupid and his master refused to guide him, so he had to rely on himself for everything. Now when he meets younger students, he naturally teaches wholeheartedly, so as not to suffer the same hardships he once had. You Ziji also knew the importance of the matter and studied hard. He learned it overnight but had no chance to put it to use.
"Miss is not in good health today, leave the matter of delivering the letter to me and the county governor. Alas, that Mr. Li has gone to who knows what, why hasn't he come back for so long." Lieutenant Hong sighed and left You Ziji's job. Robbed.
On the other side, the housekeeper saw that You Ziji was still young and there was only one maid in the house who was busy, so he called over to take care of Miss Zhou.
It will take some time for You Ziji's eyes and ears to recover, so he will rely more on his nose and smell. As soon as he stepped into Zhou Qing's boudoir, he smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. It was somewhat familiar. It was he who was listening. When Yulou was recovering from his injuries, the medicine he took was used to calm his mind. How could Miss Zhou use this medicine?
When the maid saw You Ziji wrinkled his nose, she thought he was suffering from the smell of Chinese medicine and said, "Xiao You, can't you stand the smell of this medicine? The lady doesn't like it either. I don't know when her illness will be cured." She said Looking at Miss Zhou who was unconscious on the bed, her eyes became red.
You Ziji stepped forward to comfort her for a while, and then the maid calmed down and said, "You are clumsy and don't know how to serve the lady, so why not cook some medicine?"
You Ziji shook his head like a rattle, making the maid giggle, "It's better for me to go. You pay attention to the lady. If you need anything, call me in the yard."
You Ziji nodded obediently, and when the maid left the room, You Ziji sneaked up to Miss Zhou.
"It's thanks to Sister Zhou that I sneak into the city. Of course I want to repay you. Let me see your illness."
You Ziji believed that he had a certain understanding of the damage to his consciousness, and decided to help Zhou Qing stabilize his condition. Whether he could recover or not would depend on the severity of the condition. You Ziji stretched out his hand to touch Zhou Qing's forehead, closed his eyes tightly, and sensed it with his spiritual consciousness.
"Huh?"
The situation was somewhat unexpected. Zhou Qing's consciousness was not damaged. You Ziji checked it carefully again, but there was still no problem.
"This is strange. There is no problem with the spiritual consciousness, so what could be wrong with it?"
You Ziji stretched out his hand to grab Zhou Qing's wrist and felt it for a while. He felt that his pulse was weak, which was clearly a sign of Qi deficiency. It was probably caused by physical weakness and had nothing to do with his spiritual consciousness. You Ziji secretly cursed that quack doctors are harmful to people. .
He used basic skills, pressed several large acupoints on Zhou Qing's body with his fingers, and transferred his own zhenqi into them, which roughly made up for Zhou Qing's deficit. Her face was rosy, and even her breathing became stable and no longer weak. After sleeping for a while, he slowly woke up.
You Ziji happily ran out to tell the maid.
"Sister Xi'er, the young lady's complexion has improved a lot. She seems to be awake. Please go and have a look."
When the maid heard this, she quickly ran into the house and said, "Really, Xiaoyou, you're lying to me."
"You can see for yourself." You Ziji pointed towards the front room. He stayed in the yard without moving. When he saw the maid entering the house, he got up and went to the kitchen.
The earthen pot on the stove was beeping loudly, simmering medicinal materials for healing the consciousness.
The medicine is three-thirds poisonous. If you are not sick, don't take the medicine. You Ziji didn't want to see the person he had just rescued continue to be poisoned. He stretched out his hand and used his true energy to remove all the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials in the earthen jar, and then gave up.
"Thanks to Taoist Master He for teaching me a few tricks, I saved Miss Zhou's life. If I have the chance, I will go and learn from him."
Zhou Qing has regained her energy in the house, so she naturally doesn't need You Ziji's help to take care of her. Lieutenant Hong also went out with the county guard. After staying in the city for a few days, he finally got the chance to move around freely.
In order to prevent his identity from being discovered, You Ziji put on a black cloak and took the porcelain pieces with him before going out.
