No matter in Yazdan's or Nada's description, the dark wizard named Vulture is undoubtedly highly suspicious.
He and this disaster were separated by less than half a month, and came to Malazar Khan one after another.
And this disaster happened just when he was in trouble and was about to be expelled from the city. Then he suddenly changed from being the object of disgust of the entire city's residents to becoming the guest of the city lord.
If there's anyone who stands to gain the most from this disaster, it's undoubtedly the vultures.
He is like those classic villains in Disney fairy tales, relying on evil witchcraft to sow disaster and manipulate the king of a country into his hands.
However, more than a thousand episodes of Conan have taught Lu Jing something, and that is that the person who is most suspicious at the beginning of the animation is often not the real murderer.
Well... the actual reason is because Lu Jing hasn't figured out some things yet.
He broke off a branch from the poplar tree nearby, wrote a string of characters that he didn't recognize on the sand at his feet, and asked Nada, "Do you know what this means?"
The female shopkeeper tilted her head and glanced, "This should be a surname...and it's very old. Why, Mr. Lu, why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"On the previous mural, this surname was engraved under the sarcophagus in the middle."
"Really? Why didn't I see it?" Nada was surprised.
"The string of characters is very small. It has become very blurry because it has been too long. Moreover, someone deliberately scratched it with a knife, not wanting to be seen by others later." Lu Jing said, "But fortunately, my eyesight is relatively good. .”
"Is it a vulture?" Nada asked.
"I don't know." Lu Jing shook his head and then asked, "Do you know anyone with this last name?"
"I can't remember clearly." The female shopkeeper frowned, "It's different from the Chen Dynasty here. Everyone usually calls each other by their first names, and few people know what another person's last name is."
But she quickly continued, "But I know one person who definitely knows."
"who?"
"The household registration officer in the city, Ayub, has been a household registration official for forty years. He knows everyone's first and last name. Whenever a new baby is born in the city, he will visit the family and copy the child's first and last name. Come down."
"Okay, then we will visit Ayub tomorrow." Lu Jing said.
"Tomorrow? There is still some time before dark. If we hurry up, we can visit Ayub before the next sandstorm and return to the tailor shop." said the female shopkeeper.
"Oh, before that I have to deal with some personal matters first." Lu Jing said vaguely.
…………
Although the investigation was important, Lu Jing did not waste sleep and food to the point of neglecting his own health.
Seeing that the time for the internal energy to be refreshed was not far away, Lu Jing and the female shopkeeper returned to the tailor shop first, asked for an unoccupied room, and warned others not to disturb them.
Lock the door and sit cross-legged on the bed.
But this time Lu Jing did not open the gourd on his waist.
Instead, he first took out the three black stones he had touched from the armored warrior.
As soon as he opened the wrapped handkerchief, the room suddenly became a little colder.
After carrying it on my body for so long, these three black agate-like pebbles still have no warmth and feel cold to the touch.
Lu Jing carefully recalled the feeling when he put his inner force inside.
He checked the meridians on his body again to confirm that there were no hidden dangers.
Then his eyes looking at the three black stones became fiery again.
The reason why Lu Jing finally chose to come to the capital was not only to learn those magical spells and further enhance his own strength, but the most important purpose was to solve the problem of his Dantian.
As a result, I didn’t expect that I had already gained something before I passed the assessment.
The cold and rotten air that he accidentally came into contact with could actually effectively consume his internal energy!
Although the internal strength lost in the previous battle has now been replenished by the constant flow of infuriating Qi from Rendu's two veins.
But if these internal forces are consumed just before the next refresh, doesn't it mean that he has found another way to solve the excessive internal energy in Dantian besides falling into the mortal world?
Lu Jing couldn't help but be excited.
Especially when there was a serious shortage of the two main medicines for refining the fire lantern grass and white-eyed silkworm clothes that fell into the mortal world, this discovery was of extremely important significance to him.
The priority even exceeds the assessment itself.
So Lu Jing no longer hesitated, and in the next moment he injected his inner strength into the black stone again.
And the latter did not disappoint him. A trace of the cold and rotten air that everyone in the world had heard of surged out from the black stones and penetrated into Lu Jing's meridians like a poisonous snake.
Well come!
Lu Jing screamed in his heart, feeling the inner energy in his dantian pouring out crazily.
He couldn't help but look happy.
But this time, he did not stop, but continued to pour his energy into the black stone, as if he could not feel the cold and rotten energy consuming him at all.
As a result, more cold and rotten air flowed from the black stones toward Lu Jing's fingers. It was no longer just a trace, but a stream.
The internal energy consumption in Lu Jing's body also became faster.
There was a wisp of white smoke coming out of his head, which was a sign that his internal energy had reached its peak!
And the black stone, which was originally as deep and smooth as agate, was actually covered with a trace of water vapor.
However, in just a few snaps of his fingers, a quarter of the internal energy in Lu Jing's dantian disappeared.
This speed is much faster than falling into the mortal world!
But the problem was not without its problems. Lu Jing's sharp eyes quickly noticed that as more and more water vapor accumulated on the black stone, its own brilliance was rapidly fading.
And soon cracks began to appear on the surface.
One after another intertwined with each other, just like a spider web!
Then, there was a muffled sound, and the black stone shattered into powder in Lu Jing's hands!
Gone? !
Lu Jing was a little unfinished, so he checked his dantian and found that the cold and rotten energy contained in this black stone had consumed almost one-third of his internal energy.
So Lu Jing quickly took out another one and continued to pour internal energy into it.
Now he finally found some feeling of cultivating immortality!
The protagonists in it probably did the same thing after getting the spirit stones, and they couldn't wait to start practicing.
Of course, they were just practicing.
Lu Jing was practicing backwards in order to consume the extra internal energy in his Dantian.
But the current mood of both parties is indeed similar.
While I was practicing, I was still feeling emotional.
Spiritual stones/black stones are really good things, I have to find a way to get more of them!
Lu Jing hungrily sucked in the cold and rotten air from the three black stones, and at this time all the internal energy in his Dantian had been exhausted.
Of course, his Ren and Du veins are still generating a steady stream of internal energy.
This is called the curse of the first-rate master.
Just in case, Lu Jing still left enough time for the fall into the mortal world to take effect as usual.
But this internal strength was no longer difficult for Lu Jing. He jumped up from the bed, grabbed the Zen staff, rushed to the backyard, and started dancing the crazy one hundred and eight staffs!
