"The sixteenth day of the fifth month of the thirteenth year of Tianxing's reign.

"I admit, I'm afraid of death.

"Even after practicing the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique", I am still afraid of running into an enemy that is difficult to deal with, causing me to completely disappear in this world.

"So in the past few years, I have successively created several clones and scattered them in various areas of Jiaodong Province.

“They blend in with the crowd and live independently.

"Unless someone has a greater attainment than me in the 'path of cause and effect', no one can detect the relationship between these clones and me.

“But having a clone doesn’t mean absolute safety.

“Besides, I’m tired of this hiding life.

“I have to find a way to make myself stronger.

"At this time, I suddenly remembered that when I defeated '梼杌', I used the soul search spell to get an important piece of information from its memory - if the 'Fierce God' wants to be promoted to the 'Ghost King', he needs to One hundred thousand souls were sacrificed.

"I think if I could become the legendary Ghost King, maybe I would no longer be afraid of Emperor Tianxing and the saints of the Daqi Dynasty!

"..."

"The ninth day of the first lunar month in the fifteenth year of Tianxing's reign.

“My experiment was successful.

"I took the nine water snakes in the Yi River and used the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" and the Bagua Array to combine them into one and transform them into a giant monster.

"As the saying goes, the Bagua formation, formed with sincerity, will lead to spiritual enlightenment over time; when it comes to prosperity, it becomes auspicious; when it comes to decline, it becomes disaster.

"Everything in the current Daqi Dynasty seems to be peaceful, but in fact there are hidden dangers——

"The royal family, big families, and big sects occupy more than 90% of the cultivation resources, but the monks at the bottom have to do their best to complete the task for a small 'quiet heart pill'. If you are not careful, you will go crazy during the cultivation process; remoteness Ghosts are rampant in the area and harm the people, but the royal family and bureaucrats in the capital are still immersed in a comfortable environment, and are even trying every means to withhold supplies...

"The resentment among the people is enough to give birth to a powerful ghost at the level of a 'fierce god'.

"This snake demon is the product of the combination of the essence of the two hexagrams Kan and Li and the resentment of the world. Kan hexagram has four short paintings and one long painting; Li hexagram has two short paintings and two long paintings, a total of nine paintings. The nine heads of the snake demon correspond exactly to each other.

"Kan is water and its color is black, so the five heads are good at using water and are black; Li is fire and the color is red, so the four heads are good at using fire and are red.

"I named it 'Nine Infants'.

"It is my most proud work after 'Snow Girl', and will also be an important tool for my promotion to 'Ghost King'.

"...

“It’s the twenty-first day of June in the fifteenth year of Heaven’s Movement.

"The plan to become the 'Ghost King' failed.

"I discovered that becoming the 'Ghost King' not only requires the sacrifice of one hundred thousand souls, but also requires a special ceremony.

"The 'Nine Infant Snake Demon' that I worked so hard to create was also defeated by the Grand Master of Qi, and he sealed it underground in Qingzhou Mansion with a magic circle.

"It's not easy to create another fierce god like 'Nine Infants' - because it will not only consume my strength, but also require the accumulation of enough resentment among the people. The resentment accumulated by Qingzhou Prefecture is obviously not enough to create two." The Nine Infant Snake Demon is a 'fierce god' level ghost with huge lethality.

"I have to find a way to unseal it and release it again."

"...

"It's the eighth day of the eleventh month of the sixteenth year of Tianxing.

"Grand Master Da Qi is indeed a powerful person who has become a saint through the Tao of Talisman. I have spent three years and still cannot find a way to break the sealing formation.

"...

“It’s the twenty-fifth day of the fifth month in the nineteenth year of Tianxing.

“Jia Boming, the governor of the Exorcism Department of Anqiu County, was injured while performing a ghost-killing mission. He petitioned for his body and returned home after becoming an official.

"One of my clones found him and tried to get some information from him about the 'Nine Infant Snake Demon' sealing formation.

“But because he swore an oath of secrecy when he left office, he refused to speak until he died.

"Of course, such a small problem doesn't bother me.

"I used the 'puppet manipulation' spell to turn him into my puppet, and naturally inherited all his memories.

"So, I learned from his memory that the Imperial Master of Da Qi divided the formation diagram of the 'Nine Infant Snake Demon' sealing formation into eight and hid them in the exorcism division offices in eight counties in Qingzhou Prefecture. As for the specific treasures, Only the governors of the exorcism departments of each county know where it is.

“It gave me a little headache.

“The Exorcist Department’s Yamen is a key area of ​​concern for the Da Qi court, and the governors of each county must have been under the watchful eyes of the Chief Tian Jishu for a long time.

“I definitely can’t kill them at will and make them puppets like I do now.

"I have to think of a concealed enough way to find where these eight formation diagrams are hidden."

"...

“October 19th, the twenty-first year of Heaven’s Movement.

"Today, when my clone was wandering around Xunliu Street in Yishui County, I spotted an artist playing with mice. This gave me new inspiration in my mind.

"According to Cui Mingbo's memory, the governors of each county need to strengthen the seal of the 'Nine Infant Snake Demon' every three years. In the process, they will definitely take out the formation map left by the national master. .

"I just need to make some mice, spiders, ants and other species into my puppets, let them sneak into the exorcism department, observe the governors' every move anytime and anywhere, and maybe follow them to find the hidden location of the array. .

"Because I control these puppets through the 'Thread of Cause and Effect', no one will notice anything unusual about them.

"So, I turned this mouse-playing artist into my clone, and asked him to take the puppets to the exorcism offices in various counties and follow the governors' every move.

"After a while, through the eyes of these mice, I discovered that the formation map of Mengyin County was hidden in a secret room under the public kitchen - you only need to tap a specific floor tile three times to enter the secret room.

“Of course, the entrance to this chamber will authenticate intruders.

“It’s definitely not possible to break in forcefully.

"Because the formation at the entrance to the secret room was arranged by the Imperial Master himself. If you break in by force, the Imperial Master will definitely know about it.

“But that doesn’t bother me.

"In the avenue of cause and effect, names are symbols that symbolize everyone's identity. I can use the technique of cause and effect to temporarily borrow other people's names.

"More than forty years ago, I borrowed the name of my neighbor Wu Qilang and spent the night with his wife. Although I did not change my appearance, the beautiful woman firmly believed that I was his husband.

“So, I temporarily borrowed my identity as the governor of Mengyin County, sneaked into the secret room, and saw the sealing formation.

“But I didn’t take this formation diagram with me, I just kept its contents firmly in my mind.

"I think I can use the same method to see the rest of the formation.

"...

"The eleventh day of the fifth month in the twenty-third year of Tianxing's reign.

"As of today, I have used the same method to see the contents of six formation maps. Currently, the only ones missing are Le'an County and Yishui County.

"At the same time, I basically restored the process of the promotion to the 'Ghost King' ceremony based on the memories left by '梼杌' - I needed to find a place that was secluded enough to build an altar and hold the ceremony.

“I decided this location would be in Yishan.

“Yishan, in everyone’s perception, is the territory of the Snow Maiden.

“But really, it’s also my chassis.

"According to '梼杌''s memory, during the process of building the altar, a large amount of Yin energy would spread to the outside world, causing nearby residents to be eroded by the Yin energy and turn into ghosts.

"However, as long as I build the altar in Yishan and use the art of cause and effect, I can mislead others into thinking that the spread of Yin Qi is caused by the increase in the Snow Maiden's strength.

"..."

“The eighth day of September in the twenty-third year of Tianxing.

"My clone in Yishui County suddenly discovered that there was a clerk named Gu Xu in the Yishui County Exorcism Department. His talent for cultivation was frightening. It only took him a few months to cultivate to the point where he was almost The first stage is complete.

"In addition, he is also entangled with extremely complicated lines of cause and effect. Even a quasi-immortal like me who once entered the Tao through cause and effect cannot completely see through him.

“He is clearly just a human being.

“However, when I used the art of cause and effect to observe him, I found that he was two people.

"This may sound a bit mysterious. But I can clearly see that there are two different causes and effects superimposed on him.

“I have to put this guy at the top of my list.

"Although his strength is not enough to hinder my promotion ceremony, given my current situation, I must remain extremely cautious no matter what I do."

"...

“It’s September 30th, the twenty-third year of Tianxing.

“The Yin Qi in the Yishan area became more and more intense, gradually alarming the imperial court.

"In order to prevent the saint from knowing about the situation here and interfering with my promotion plan, I set up a ban in Yishan to block the secrets of this place.

“From now on, all divination techniques and divination techniques will be unable to accurately predict the situation in Yishan.

"In addition, I also used the 'abduction' spell to continuously hinder and delay the capital's support to Qingzhou Prefecture.

"...

"On the twenty-ninth day of the tenth month of the twenty-third year of Tianxing.

“Today, two troublesome guys came to Yishan.

"One person has a very faint dragon aura, and if nothing else, he should be the prince of the Daqi Dynasty; the other person looks like he should be his follower.

"These two people sneaked all the way into Yishan and came to the vicinity of the black altar. As expected, they regarded the black altar as the creation of the Snow Maiden.

“But no matter what, I have to find a way to get rid of them as soon as possible.

"However, I can't let them die here - if this prince really dies on my chassis, then Emperor Tianxing will have a one-thousandth chance of discovering my existence.

"In the process of being promoted to 'Ghost King', I will not allow any accidents to happen.

"So, I used the 'abduction' spell to set the result that 'they will bump into the snow girl, have a fierce battle, and will eventually be rescued by a mysterious strong man'.

“As for what the process is like, that’s not important to me.

"It's just that I didn't expect that in order to achieve the result set by the 'abduction' spell, He Yiqun, the junior fellow of the Grand Master of Qi who had been traveling around the world and not interested in worldly affairs, actually changed his nature and became the savior of the prince and his entourage!

“It really surprised me!

"It seems that as my strength gradually improves, my attainments in the 'Way of Cause and Effect' are also constantly improving!"

So is this the legendary sword that breaks all laws?

If I were in the same realm as him, would I be able to defeat him?

Gu Xu was not 100% confident about this.

However, Gu Xu has no interest in the title of "No. 1 in the world" or "No. 1 in the same realm".

At this moment, he only cares about cultivation and breaking through.

So he sent the same question to "Zhulong" Chen Yanping.

Chen Yanping took a long time to reply to the message.

[Zhulong: I used to have a puppy named Ah Hei. It likes to lick my shoes, eat my leftovers, and catch mice in the middle of the night. Then it died and I broke through. As for more details and what my magical power is... I will tell you when I have the chance. 】

Chen Yanping's answer was very concise, but Gu Xu could still feel his sad emotions when he broke through the words. Maybe this young master of the Chen family, who looked emotionless and emotionless, had fallen down next to the body of his puppy and cried loudly.

After finishing the conversation with these people, Gu Xu wrote down a few key words in his notebook - "character", "emotion", and "desire".

Such things as magical powers do have rules to follow.

But it was still hard for him to predict what kind of magical powers he would awaken when he stepped onto the Naihe Bridge.

…………

Gu Xu's peaceful life did not last long.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Chen Jisheng summoned all the officials from the Yishui County Exorcism Department to the Yamen lobby and told them a piece of bombshell news:

The battle against snow girls and mutated ghosts in the Yishui area has become fierce. Wei Qianhu of Qingzhou Prefecture issued an emergency call order, requiring all monks in the second level and above in Qingzhou Prefecture to rush to the war zone as soon as possible to help fight against ghosts and help the surviving people evacuate.

When speaking, Chen Jisheng's expression was solemn and dignified.

Everyone present also felt worried.

Shi Xiaohan raised his head and glanced at Gu Xu with uneasy eyes. The heavy "Kunwu Sword" on her back made her figure extra petite.

Gu Xu's expression remained calm, but deep down in his heart he couldn't help but sigh silently: What was supposed to come finally came.
