Shu Guan slowly pulled out the sharp knife inserted into the tree trunk.
A stream of blood spurted out from the tree hole, and then a body wrapped in black clothes fell out of the tree trunk.
As expected, he was a ninja killer from the Black Dragon Society.
Looking at the very familiar outfit, Shu Guan felt a little regretful.
I was still negligent before.
Since Paper Man can hide the paper figures in the Consulate of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun and monitor them, then the other party can naturally find Paper Man through those paper figures. Paper Man does not have the same magical skills to hide secrets as he does.
If he hadn't felt it in his heart and calculated it with a palm sutra, he might have been found by a practitioner from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun through the Paper Man.
And this Black Dragon Society practitioner who had just been killed by him and was hiding outside Paper Man's house was a strong man at the peak of Fetal Movement Realm.
Just to monitor the white paper man, he sent a strong man at the peak of the Fetal Movement Realm. It seems that the strength of the Rising Sun Kingdom cultivators who came to Shencheng this time is unusually strong!
Looking at the corpse on the ground that was slowly dissolving into a thick yellow pus, Shu Guan frowned slightly.
This was also the reason why he didn't choose to capture the Black Dragon Society alive just now.
He has dealt with these ninja killers of the Black Dragon Society too many times, and he knows that the souls of these people are all subject to special restrictions. They cannot be captured alive, nor can their souls be searched. Even the corpses after death are immediately removed. It will dissolve into a puddle of pus.
After noticing the strange movement outside, Paper Old Man ran out of the small house where he lived. When he saw Shu Guan standing outside the door and the body that had not completely melted on the ground, his expression suddenly became a little horrified.
"Master Shu, what happened? Why are you here?"
Paper Old Man asked tremblingly.
"You're being targeted."
"Come with me."
Shu Guan said in a deep voice.
…
At noon, Shu Guan returned to the horse racing hall.
He has arranged for the white-paper man to temporarily stay in the Rong's Manor, using the strange feng shui power in the Rong's Manor to cover the whereabouts of the white-paper man.
Then he returned to the racecourse in glory.
After the New Year, Shu Guan had already started practicing with honor, but this process was temporarily interrupted by a telegram from his uncle Teng Yanping.
Before going to Jinling, Shu Guan had planned to stay in Jinling for a while to avoid the limelight, so he told Glory to practice on his own. Anyway, he had already been taught the method of entraining qi.
Unexpectedly, when I came back two months later, Glory had succeeded in channeling Qi.
Even with the help of the Feng Shui power of Rong's Manor, this speed is extremely astonishing. In the Seven Immortals Alliance, he is at the level of the most elite disciple, but he still underestimated Glory's talent for cultivation.
After Glory succeeded in attracting Qi, Shu Guan was about to start teaching him the real Feng Shui technique. During this period, it was not convenient for him to go back to Rong's Manor every day, so he casually took Glory to the Zouma Pavilion to stay for a while.
But when he walked into the horse racing hall holding Glory's hand, he found a strange suitcase at the door of the horse racing hall. Then Shu Guan saw a rather familiar figure sitting at a long table with his back to him. Before.
Shu Guan was slightly startled.
"Didn't you say you'd be gone for at least half a year? Why are you back so soon?"
He couldn't help but asked strangely
Deng Zongnan turned his head, looked at him and sighed:
"I'm in a hurry to come back and give you a message."
"Reporting a message? What message should I report?"
Shu Guan was even more strange.
He thought about what Qin Sulan had said that Deng Zongnan had sent a telegram from the Western Continent, saying that a new group of practitioners had arrived from the Western Continent. They might have come to investigate the two Nascent Soul powers from the Western Continent that he had killed. matter.
But the problem is that Deng Zongnan didn't know that he had killed the two Nascent Soul Powers on the West Road, so he had nothing to worry about.
Moreover, it seems that the friendship between Deng Zongnan and himself is not deep enough to report news thousands of miles away.
"I went to the Western Continent this time and found that the Western Continent is also very chaotic. The powerful countries in the Western Continent are divided into two camps. The smell of gunpowder between them is extremely strong, and war may break out at any time."
"And once this kind of struggle between mortal nations takes shape, even those false gods will find it difficult to reverse it."
"But it's obvious that those false gods don't want to believe in their mortal kingdom, and they don't want the Western Continent to fall into civil war."
"If you don't want to have a civil war, what do you think is the best way?"
"...Then we can only fight foreign wars!"
Shu Guan thought for a while and said.
"Yes, although I didn't stay in the Western Continent for long, after contacting several Western Continent practitioners, I found that the Western Continent's cultivators have gradually begun to reach a consensus, that is, they want to be closer to us. The Hua Cultivation World will engage in a decisive battle to snatch the legacy generals left behind by the Heavenly Court and completely exterminate Dahua’s orthodoxy.”
"And the war between the spiritual realms will naturally affect the pattern of the mortal world and transfer the flames of war in the mortal kingdoms of the Western Continent to Dahua. This should be the plan of those false gods."
Deng Zongnan told the story with worry on his face.
"In those days when I was in the Western Continent, I could really feel that everyone among the practitioners in the Western Continent seemed to want to rush to our Dahua, and come here to snatch the Taoist arts, magic weapons, and elixirs that they were already jealous of. , and those ancient ruins, this fanatical atmosphere has affected every practitioner in the Western Continent... I think one day, they will definitely come and kill them, and this day will not be too long."
Listening to Deng Zongnan's story, Shu Guan's brows furrowed.
"The group of practitioners who came to Shencheng this time should be just the vanguard team they sent. They were nominally here to investigate the murder of the two great Nascent Soul masters from the Western Continent last time, but who knows the real purpose? !”
"...and after discovering these things, how can I still leisurely watch how people make movies?"
"It's not that I'm in a hurry to come back to warn you. I think it's impossible for the Seven Immortals Alliance not to notice these anomalies in the Western Continent's cultivation world. However, after the group of practitioners jointly sent by the major cultivator forces in the Western Continent came to Shencheng, I'm afraid Shencheng Something big is going to happen again, and our thousands of small families cannot withstand these storms, so I will naturally come back to guard my junior brothers and sisters."
"So what are the strengths of the practitioners from the Western Continent who came to Shencheng this time?"
Shu Guan asked in a deep voice.
"That's why I'm sitting here with you now. After all, I don't lose face to Qianmen too much. I found out the general situation of those practitioners. There are six practitioners in total, all of whom are at the level of land gods. To Didn’t I hear that the Seven Immortals Alliance had an agreement with those false gods before that neither side’s fairyland would be allowed to set foot in the other’s sphere of influence? I’m afraid it’s not just the fairyland that’s coming this time!”
"Okay, let me first introduce the situation of the seven practitioners in the Western Continent. The leader is named Alxhende Kani, who is the ruling bishop of the Tian'en Sect Inquisition in the Western Continent..."
About ten minutes later, Deng Zongnan finished introducing what he knew about the Western Continent practitioners.
"Only these six?"
Shu Guan confirmed it.
"Why, are you still too young?"
Deng Zongnan smiled bitterly and said:
"You have to know that the Tantai family, including the original Tantai Jade, only has three land gods... Speaking of practitioners, they only have these six land gods, but they are accompanied by an old white man, that I have been observing the old man on the boat for a long time, and I can basically confirm that he is an ordinary person. It is not that he does not have any fluctuations in the aura of extraordinary power, but his words and deeds do not look like someone with extraordinary power.
...By the way, how is the Tantai family doing now? "
Shu Guan smiled and said:
"The Tantai family has been destroyed, but Tantai Jingming escaped. You can go back and ask your junior sister Qin about the specific situation."
Deng Zongnan stood up with a cry, as if ready to leave, but then he seemed to remember something and said:
"On the ship back, I made a special trip to make friends with a counselor from Yinjili Kingdom who had just come to Shen City to take up his post. I thought that after those practitioners from the Western Continent came to Shen City, they would live in the consulates of these countries in the Western Continent. When I get there, Prepare to arrange for General Liang Meiying to work at the Yinjili Consulate."
"good."
Shu Guan nodded approvingly.
Then Deng Zongnan walked to the door of the horse racing hall, picked up the suitcase, and walked out of the door of the horse racing hall.
"Thank you... By the way, congratulations too."
Shu watched his back and said this in a loud voice.
Thank you, of course, to Deng Zongnan for coming to the horse racing hall to tell him these things.
As for congratulations, congratulations to Deng Zongnan for finally entering the realm of Nascent Soul.
Deng Zongnan didn't look back, he just raised his hand and waved, and disappeared outside Duolun Lane.
…
After dinner, after explaining today's homework to Glory, he allowed Glory to practice in his room, and then came to the first floor.
Sitting at the table, he first took out the jade Ruyi that he got from Professor Lai Sheng. He looked at it in his palm for a while, and then lightly traced the cracks on the tail of the jade Ruyi with his fingers, wondering if it was It's time to take this to the weapon refiner Luo Sheng to see if there is any way to repair it.
However, even if the handle body can be repaired, the talisman array above Yu Ruyi must first be repaired. Luo Sheng is unlikely to be able to do this.
Then Shu Guan took out the Five Talisman Scripture.
Ever since he got the Five Talisman Scripture, things happened one after another about his senior brother, and then there was the warm winter sun in Jinling City. During that time, Shu Guan only wanted to digest the battle experience left to him by his senior brother. Therefore, I have never practiced this Five Talisman Sutra properly.
But now, Shu Guan feels that he must improve his strength as soon as possible.
Whether it is to help Ao Tian regain the dragon bones of his parents, or to face the wind and rain that will inevitably arise in Shencheng after so many strong men have arrived from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun and the Western Continent, improving one's strength is ultimately the most important thing. important.
Shu Guan opened the Five Talisman Sutra in his hand.
He has already read through the Five Talisman Scripture once. The name of the Five Talisman Scripture is very appropriate, and it can even be said to be straightforward. It is the method of drawing the five runes.
These five runes are: Huangliang Yimeng Talisman, Exorcism Talisman, Jin Gang Amulet, Inviting God Talisman, Dayue Talisman.
The five talismans are all heavenly talismans!
In the opening volume of the Five Talisman Scriptures, there is a brief introduction. This Five Talisman Scriptures was the product of a practicing sect called the Wanfu Sect nearly ten thousand years ago.
The Ten Thousand Talisman Sect specializes in the art of Taoist Talisman. It is thought that being able to draw the Five Immortal Talismans would have been a very powerful cultivation sect even ten thousand years ago.
However, tens of thousands of years later, the Wanfu Sect finally disappeared in the years, leaving only a Taoist temple sunk under the water, the Five Talisman Sutra, and a broken jade Ruyi.
The first talisman of the Five Talisman Scripture is the Huangliang Dream Talisman. Looking at its name, you can tell that this should be a Taoist talisman related to dreams.
After watching the introduction of Huang Liang Yimeng Talisman, Zaishu knew that he was not wrong.
Huangliang has a dream, but when he wakes up, everything is empty.
This talisman is not only related to dreams, but also to memory.
Its function is somewhat similar to the Talisman of Oblivion, which can make people forget what really happened and just treat it as a strange dream.
But what's even more amazing than the Forgetting Talisman is that the Huangliang Dream Talisman can also modify people's memories, allowing the person who casts the talisman to enter the dream of the person on whom the talisman is cast, and tamper with it in that dream or even make a dream come true out of thin air. Memory, but after the person who has been cast the talisman wakes up, he will not doubt the authenticity of that memory at all.
After Shu watched the introduction of Huang Liang Yimeng Talisman, he already felt that he had made the right decision to ask Professor Lai Sheng for the Five Talisman Scriptures this time.
Because now the Forgetting Talisman on his body, whether it is the ones that Fifth Senior Brother An Zichun drew for him, or the ancient talismans in Daozang Pavilion, have been almost used. Now that he has this Huangliang Yimeng Talisman, it is Finally there is a replacement, and it is a more powerful and better replacement.
The second talisman in the Five Talisman Sutra is the evil talisman.
This name is easier to understand. The function of this talisman is naturally to dispel evil spirits, but since it is an immortal talisman, its power is naturally much stronger than ordinary evil-expelling talismans.
According to the introduction in the Five Talisman Sutra, this exorcism talisman can not only prevent evil and filthy things from approaching, or help people dispel the evil and filthy air contaminated by it, it can even purify some innate evil and filthy air that penetrates deep into the blood.
For example, if there is some kind of evil spirit that is born with an evil voice, it may even turn into a normal ordinary creature after being given an exorcism talisman.
This effect is quite powerful.
The third talisman of the Five Talisman Sutra is the Golden Gang Amulet.
If the first two talismans are auxiliary Tao talismans, then this Golden Gang amulet can help practitioners directly improve their combat capabilities.
After being affixed with the Golden Gang amulet, the body will be enveloped by a golden aura that protects the body. Since this Golden Gang amulet is a Taoist talisman of heavenly quality, naturally no one in the fairyland can break the golden aura that protects the body. gas.
After seeing the effectiveness of this golden amulet, Shu Guan couldn't help but feel a tremor of excitement throughout his body.
If you can draw this talisman, doesn't it mean that no one can hurt you if you are in the fairyland?
Even if this Golden Gang amulet has a certain time limit, it is still extremely awesome!
The only flaw is the Golden Gang amulet. It can only resist attacks on the physical body, but it is not immune to attacks from the soul.
The fourth talisman of the Five Talisman Scripture is a talisman for inviting gods.
After watching the introduction of the magic talisman, Shu felt shocked and extremely disappointed.
The function of the magic charm, to put it simply, is to invite a certain fairy from heaven to help you do something.
Of course, the one who comes may not necessarily be the immortal god himself, but a projected incarnation of that immortal god, but he definitely has the strength of the fairyland.
And you can ask this immortal to help you with anything within his capabilities.
Whether it's asking him to help you fight against the enemy or something else.
It can be said that this is the most powerful Taoist talisman in the Five Talisman Scriptures so far, and it is even the most powerful Taoist talisman among all the Taoist talismans that Shu Guan knows.
Because it is equivalent to letting you directly possess the strength of an immortal within a certain period of time.
However, precisely because of this, Shu Guan was extremely disappointed.
Because there is no heaven now, and there are no immortals in the heaven.
There are all the magic talismans to invite, but there is no god to invite. You said Shu Guan is lost but not lost!
Of course, there are still immortals in this world, such as the Seven Immortals of the Seven Immortals Alliance.
Even the Seven Immortals once held positions in Heaven.
So when he was halfway through watching it, Shu Guan had a fantastic idea in his mind, which was whether he could use the magic charm to invite the Seven Immortals.
But after reading the introduction to the magic talisman, I found that this was impossible.
This is because this divine talisman is actually a Taoist talisman originating from heaven. The method of drawing the Taoist talisman contains an edict from heaven. Precisely because of this edict, the immortal gods sensed the divine talisman and then Will come to help.
In the beginning, this kind of magic talisman was originally awarded to practitioners or practicing sects who had made meritorious service to heaven.
Now that the Heavenly Court is no longer there, and the edict is no longer binding, even if those immortals sense the invitation talisman, they probably won't bother to pay attention to it.
That's why Shu Guan felt so disappointed after reading the introduction to the magic talisman.
This feeling is equivalent to being sad when a beautiful woman takes off her clothes and is waiting for you on the bed, but when you enter the room, you are told that because you are late, you can only look at her but not do anything.
...Well, maybe this metaphor is not appropriate, but that’s roughly the feeling.
Then comes the last talisman in the Five Talisman Sutra.
Dayue Fu.
And this talisman is the talisman originally painted on the jade ruyi handle.
Once the Dayue Talisman is successfully drawn, you can possess the power of the mountain.
It's not an adjective, it's the weight of a real mountain.
Even immortals, at least ordinary immortals, can hardly withstand the force of a mountain falling on their heads.
However, this Dayue Talisman can only be drawn on the Ruyi Jade, which is related to the material used when refining the Jade Ruyi.
And Yu Ruyi, who drew the Dayue Talisman, has the power to kill an immortal.
The Jade Ruyi and the Five Talisman Scriptures were originally the two major treasures of the Wanfu Sect.
Shu Guan finally finished reading the introduction of these five immortal talismans.
But he didn't directly start trying to draw these five immortal talismans.
Instead, he sighed deeply, and the excitement in his eyes gradually dissipated.
Because it is not easy to draw an immortal talisman. The introduction of the five immortal talismans just now clearly explained the conditions required to draw each immortal talisman.
Those conditions are really too harsh.
