There is a lively small town by the sea in Dongzuzhou.
There are many remote and dilapidated taverns, quiet alleys, and twists and turns in the small town.
An old man in gray robes, all patched up, led a boy with a childish face and walked in from a quiet alley. Their clothes were extremely simple and did not attract attention.
"Master, where are we going?" the boy asked curiously.
"Master meets an old friend." The old man's voice was a little soft.
"Now that we're done, can we leave quickly? Those bad guys will catch up." There was undisguised worry in the boy's eyes.
"It doesn't matter if we catch up. Your master's talisman skills are astonishing. He can destroy them in a flash as soon as he recovers from his injuries." The old man said with a smile, "Don't worry, just stay calm."
While chatting, the two of them stopped in front of a tavern with only half a door that was more like a rag than a curtain.
It was early in the morning, and there were many drunkards on both sides of the remote alley, so the pub seemed even more deserted. There was only a middle-aged woman with a plump figure and a quiet face who was wiping the bottle in front of the bar. , the appearance is not amazing in the spiritual world, but it has a unique taste.
"Wait for me here, don't come in, and don't eavesdrop." The old man ordered.
The boy said oh, then took out a yellow talisman and stuck it on his forehead. In an instant, he became motionless like a living dead.
Seeing this scene, the old man in gray robe had a strange expression on his face and mixed emotions. In the end, he could only sigh softly, opened the door curtain and walked in.
Looking at the woman on the stage, the old man coughed twice and said, "Long time no see."
The tavern proprietress didn't even raise her head, but her tone was extremely cold, "No, get out."
The old man in gray robe didn't mind. He sat leisurely on a cracked and dusty table in the corner, poured a glass of Daughter's Red, which was obviously prepared long ago, and drank it all in one gulp.
"The people are so beautiful, the wine is so strong, and the place is so remote. It's really worrying to be here. Isn't there some unsighted person trying to mess with you?"
The old man's face turned a little rosy and he asked curiously: "I heard that the great elder of the Seven Gods Sect not long ago has been pestering you for a long time and even threatened you with something."
"None of your business." The landlady said indifferently.
"It's nothing. I just saw that guy was unhappy, so I went to kill him." The old man laughed it off.
"Are you sick?" The mature plump woman suddenly glanced at him and frowned: "You were so seriously injured by him. Did everyone from the Seven Gods Sect take action?"
"That guy has no right to resist in front of me. When he died, he knelt down like an old dog and begged for mercy. It was none of his business that I was injured." The old man in gray robe smiled.
"You disappeared from me for so long, and then suddenly came back to do these inexplicable things. What on earth do you want to do? Do you think I will be grateful to you?" The landlady asked gloomily with her eyes narrowed.
The old man was silent for a while and said, "I joined the Land of Thousand Rivers,"
The woman's eyes narrowed, but before she could say anything, the old man spoke again.
"Then I betrayed the Land of Thousand Rivers."
The woman was close to collapse, and the old man suddenly smiled brightly again.
"As a result, they have discovered it now."
....
....
It was strangely quiet inside the tavern.
There was a drunken rogue man who pushed open the door curtain. Before he could say some drunken and dirty words, his whole body seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer. He walked directly on the wall of the alley, bleeding from all his orifices.
Not far away, a young man who had lost all senses remained motionless and turned a deaf ear.
"Are you crazy?!!"
A sharp voice came from the tavern.
The woman's voice was trembling, and with unconcealed panic, she gritted her teeth and said, "Yu Fuzi! Although you, a bastard, were not a good person before, you were not going to die. Now you think you are capable." ? Dare to do such a thing? What kind of existence is there in the land of Qianchuan? How can you provoke casual cultivators like you and me?"
Yu Fuzi didn't speak.
Just looking out the window quietly.
"Don't talk? Then what are you doing here? You think it's not enough for you to die alone, so you want to take me to die with you?"
The middle-aged woman's eyes were red, and she hit the table with her right fist. The bang was extremely dull, and she was obviously very angry.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just want you to be free to help take care of a child in case I die." The old man finally spoke.
"child?"
The woman stared at Yu Fuzi. The latter was stunned for a moment, and then said with a helpless smile: "I adopted a child a few years ago, named Yu Zhenzi. I got it. To put it simply, his life experience is relatively It's tragic that my small mountain village was affected by the aftermath of a fight between two accomplished monks. After the cliff collapsed, the entire mountain village was submerged, and he was the only one left. By chance, I, who was traveling far away, saved him."
"So?" the woman said disdainfully.
The old man continued: "He has learned a lot of my Taoism and is a good young man. Unfortunately, he is too simple. Well... to be precise, he is a bit heartless, but he is much kinder than me."
"Are you asking for help?"
The woman said expressionlessly: "But it's none of my business. If this is really the case, then after you die, the most I can do is be kind and let him understand on his own, so as not to suffer the pain of the land of thousands of rivers."
Jade symbol.
The old man's name is quite particular.
Talisman.
Use the talisman to enslave the ghosts, gods, heaven and earth, and absorb the power of clouds, mist, and stars. They all come from natural virtual objects and form words in the sky. They were born above the beginning of time and out of the void.
There is also an old saying: If you know that the calligraphy and talismans are poor, you will make ghosts and gods frightened.
In the past, in the world of cultivation, Taoist sects were very prosperous in Dongzuzhou. However, among all the methods of Taoist sects, the method of talismans was the most withered one. It was obscure and difficult to understand, and it was extremely difficult to achieve anything after years of hard training. , all disciples who can hope for the great path will not practice in the path of talismans.
But in fact, the method of talismans ranks among the best among all methods, both in terms of wonder and power.
The Taoism of Talismans really gained attention in the Taoist sect because a Talisman Taoist wizard from a low-end Taoist sect at that time easily defeated three geniuses from the top Taoist sects at that time with the power of talismans. He became famous in one battle. The use of Talismans even made some Taoist elders Zudu was quite surprised.
Later, the Taoist Talisman genius gained a great reputation in the spiritual world with his unique methods. He suppressed the Taoist genius for decades. Unfortunately, he acted without any taboos and liked to act according to his own likes and dislikes, so he killed countless people, and both good and evil factions... Don't want to be easily provoked.
Until a few decades ago, this person suddenly disappeared from the entire world and never appeared upright again.
The old man was silent for a while, poured another glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, then slowly said: "I am a member of the Tao of Talisman, I went to extremes, and I was born with an imbalance of the five elements. I stole the power of ghosts and gods and caused jealousy, which is why I became like this. As for me joining Qianchuan Land, it was purely a temporary joy, mainly because the things Qianchuan Land does are very much in line with my taste."
The landlady asked: "What now?"
The old man paused, "I happened to meet another interesting guy in the Land of Thousand Rivers, which made me change this concept."
Yu Fuzi smiled seriously and said, "When I feel that this world may become better in the future, and I happen to have something worthy of my concern and concern, then the initial joy will change again."
"Is that the kid outside the door?"
"Yes."
"You are willing to sacrifice your life. It seems that you have changed a lot."
The woman lowered her head slightly and asked sadly, "Will you die?"
"No, I'm good at killing, and even better at escaping. I'm Yu Fuzi."
Yu Fuzi stood up, took a deep look at the woman, and then joked: "If I live, I will never go anywhere and come here to do odd jobs for you, how about that?"
The woman gently wiped the corners of her eyes without seeing her expression and said, "It's too ugly, get out of here."
"Then I'll take it as your promise!"
The old man in gray robe didn't care and laughed loudly, "Let's go!"
As the old man spoke, he gently placed a talisman on the table.
The Talisman of Stealing Heaven.
The aura within a hundred miles and the aura in a deserted land thousands of miles away were instantly exchanged.
The old man has disappeared without a trace.
