Ashheng has always been curious about why he, the youngest person in the Linglong Temple, took over the position of the temple leader.
Outsiders can't figure it out, but Yu Qing naturally knows in his heart that the inheritance of Linglongguan is hidden and secret, and is only passed on to the inner disciples, the so-called true disciples.
After the master of the temple passed away, there were only two inner disciples left in Linglong Temple. One was him, Yu Qing, and the other was his junior uncle who had not returned from traveling abroad.
The difference between the inside and outside of Linglong Guan is whether there is a practice called Guanyin.
The technique is divided into two cultivation methods: "Guan" and "Yin". What he practices is the "Guan" technique, and what he cultivates is his eyesight.
When people walk by, dust will be picked up under their feet.
If you wave your hand, you can bring up the wind.
The wind blowing can determine the shape and direction of the smoke.
Place a bowl of water on the ground. When there is no wind, there will suddenly be microwave ripples on the water surface in the bowl. The cause may be that something heavy has fallen nearby or the vibration caused by someone walking nearby.
Guan Zi Jue is to interpret and speculate on the cause and effect of certain movements by observing subtle details.
Yinzi Jue trains on hearing. For example, by lying on the ground and listening to the sounds transmitted from the ground, you can determine how many people are passing by a certain invisible location.
The young master uncle who was traveling abroad practiced Yin Zi Jue.
In other words, he could deduce certain movements within the approximate range just by observing the subtle changes in the smoke.
For example, in front of him, the subtle changes in the water vapor on the stove made him aware of something unusual, and something unknown had sneaked into the house.
It was precisely because of this confidence that he, the protector of Ashheng, dared to separate from the person he was protecting and sit in the kitchen cooking.
Without hesitation, Yu Qing stood up suddenly, quickly left the kitchen, went straight to the study room with a single lamp, and knocked on the door.
Ashheng, who was flipping through a book under the lamp, looked up. The smile that had just appeared disappeared in an instant, and something strange could be seen in Yu Qing's indifferent expression that made people feel distant.
The two grew up, and in the Jiupo Village area, they were the only people who were similar in age and could play together as equals since childhood, so they both knew very well what the special reactions between each other meant.
Yu Qing walked directly to the desk and said calmly: "The food is cooked and ready to eat. Let's go and have a taste." His eyes deliberately picked at the sword on the desk, which he had left casually before.
Ashheng smiled faintly, put down the book, stood up and left the case, seemingly grabbing the sword casually, and left the study side by side with Yu Qing.
The two of them arrived in the kitchen and opened the lid of the pot next to the stove. The spiritual rice had turned into crystal clear purple plump particles, like amethysts. It was really beautiful, but the aroma was still there.
Through the noise produced by the stove, Yu Qing whispered to the people around him, "Whatever you are afraid of will come true. What Pu Dianli said has come true."
Ashheng was slightly shocked and whispered, "No! We sneaked into the city and settled here, so that no one would keep an eye on us. We could be accurately found at our door. Could it be that someone betrayed us?"
"No one betrayed me, I'm a little embarrassed." Yu Qing raised his chin slightly, twitched his nose, and gestured towards the contents of the pot. At the same time, he picked up the spatula and put the cooked rice into a bowl.
Ashheng understood instantly. The foreign objects that came were probably more sensitive to the smell emitted by the things in the pot. Yu Qing was negligent. He probably didn't expect that there was a monster that had actually wandered into this city. The smell of boiled spiritual rice attracted the monster. Attracted.
He was a little worried at first, but seeing that Yu Qing was still paying attention to the contents of the pot at this time and didn't take the food seriously at all, he felt relieved immediately.
However, he was still a little nervous. After all, he had never seen a so-called monster. It was quiet all around. He didn't know how Yu Qing knew that a monster was coming. He was about to look around, but Yu Qing conveniently put the spatula to his mouth. There is sticky rice scraped out from the bottom of the pot on the edge of the shovel.
"Don't raise your head." Yu Qing warned in a low voice, and then said in a relaxed voice: "Come on, let's have a taste."
Ashheng was startled in his heart, and subconsciously felt something on his head because of the other person's words. At this time, it was really as Yu Qing said, opening his mouth to eat the dregs on the spatula.
There was indeed something above his head. To be precise, there was something above the two of them.
A long worm crawled into the kitchen at some point and was hanging on the beam, its upper body slowly deforming as it descended.
The squirming upper body bulged out into the outline of a woman, and the snake's head turned into a woman's face. The stretched snake scales had not disappeared, the eyes were pierced, the spreading hair was twisted like a small snake, and the fangs gradually appeared in the mouth, hesitating. With a bright red letter. There were irregularly distributed dark yellow scales on the black scaly body. Two arms silently stretched out from both sides of the dirty half-human body, which turned into ten-finger claws and quietly grabbed at the backs of Ash Heng and Yu Qing's necks.
Seeing that his claws were about to touch the heads of the two of them, and even Ash Heng faintly smelled a fishy smell, Yu Qing suddenly turned over the plate on the stove and covered the large bowl containing the rice. He held the feeding spatula in his hand. Suddenly whistling upward.
boom! The handle of the shovel broke, and the shovel was forced into the head of the snake demon.
Throwing away the shovel handle in his hand, he waved his arm and brought Ashheng beside him to change positions, moved away, and avoided the dripping juice from above.
Before Ash Heng could realize what was going on, Yu Qing was already turning his body, picking out the sheathed sword in Ash Heng's hand, and slashing it in the air.
Poof, blood sprayed out, and a dirty head fell from above, just in time to land in the hot pot and roll around.
Ashheng was startled when he saw a head falling. Then he saw the half-human body hanging in the air and twisting. Like a rapidly deflating air bag, it quickly deflated back to what a snake should be, except that it had no head. , blood dripping.
Yu Qing, who had the spinning sword in his hand, had already left Ash Heng, and slashed at the wall next to the stove with the sword spinning in cold light.
Boom! The wall was broken and a piece fell. Ash Heng's mouth tightened. He used the light in the kitchen to see clearly what was behind the broken wall. He saw a half-human snake demon standing with his head held high. He looked like a dirty bald man. He opened his claws and looked at As if he was about to break through a wall and attack, a blood line appeared from the shoulders to the diagonal ribs, and the half-shoulders of the body slowly shifted and staggered.
Yu Qing, who was still turning the sword in his hand, waved, "Go!"
A ray of cold light shot into the air and penetrated the roof, causing several tiles to fall.
After a moment of silence, Ashheng saw blood dripping from the roof again.
Suddenly there were two bangs in succession. First, the snake demon behind the broken wall turned into two pieces and fell to the ground. Then a hole was opened in the roof. A big snake fell from the roof. It hit the ground and twisted slowly. The snake's head was smashed by a The sword penetrated.
Yu Qing, who was holding a big bowl in one hand, walked over to draw his sword, shook off the blood on the sword, and threw it casually.
Uh-huh! Ash Heng felt a shock in his hand. He looked down and found that the sword had been sheathed. He then looked at Yu Qing who was looking at him with a smile. Then he looked at the three big snakes. One was dead outside the house, one was half hanging on the beam, and one was dead on the roof. land.
The smoke and dust were rising, and Ashiheng's Adam's apple was throbbing, and he had lingering fears. The pungent fishy smell made him feel sick and nauseous.
"No, that's all for now. I don't mean to scare you. I just want to fight quickly and try to avoid too much fighting noise, so as not to disturb you and attract undue attention. In fact, there is no need to be afraid, the three items are not enough It's just a fully transformed snake demon with limited strength and no threat. Let's go, why are you still standing there?" Yu Qing gestured to the big bowl containing spiritual rice he was holding with one hand, seemingly saying, don't you want to try it? Taste it? It’s time to enjoy.
Ashheng wanted to leave, but it was the first time he had experienced this scene. He was really scared. His legs were a little weak and he couldn't move. But he didn't want Yu Qing to help him, he didn't want Yu Qing to laugh, and he just wanted to save face. , then said: "This is the first time I see the snake demon. It's a rare opportunity to open my eyes." That means I want to stay and take a look.
"Then you watch slowly. I'll go outside to see if anyone has been disturbed. After eating, I have to find Pu Dianli to deal with the aftermath." Yu Qing dropped the words and walked away with the bowl.
When we got to the yard outside, we went straight to the door. Just as we were about to open the door to see what was going on outside, there was a sudden bang in the kitchen behind, and then there was a roar and half of the kitchen collapsed.
Yu Qing turned around and was stunned. When he saw that Ash Heng still hadn't come out, he was almost frightened out of his wits and dodged away.
Rushing into the collapsed kitchen, filled with smoke and dust, Yu Qing flicked his sleeves and took a piece of firewood from the stove for lighting. The lights in the room had been smashed out.
Soon, Yu Qing stood there blankly, and the bowl he had been holding on to with one hand smashed to the ground. The cooked rice was scattered on the ground, and then he moved like crazy to move away the piled up fallen objects. There was the sound of Ashheng's painful breathing below.
After clearing away the mess, Yu Qing half-crouched next to Ash Heng who fell to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Nerd, please bear with me."
Ashheng, who looked pained, smiled miserably and nodded. His body was covered with a layer of dust. The fallen beam happened to press on one of his arms, and blood seeped out.
With a groan from Ash Heng, the pressed beam was lifted away. Yu Qing's eyes were filled with bitterness as he stared at the pressed arm. The elbow was hit exactly and was already crushed. .
After trying hard to regain his concentration, he quickly touched acupuncture points on Ashheng's body to prevent Ashheng from losing too much blood and try to reduce Ashheng's pain. He took out a pill from his body and stuffed it into Ashiheng's mouth to help him swallow it. Then he took materials from the fallen tile fence and clamped the broken arm between two boards. Heng carefully lifted him off the ground and left this bloody place.
Yu Qing no longer had the intention to observe whether he had alarmed the surrounding residents. He could no longer stay here. He rushed to take Ashheng to a suitable place for treatment and went straight to the gate.
Ash Heng, who was almost weak, still held Yu Qing's sword in front of his chest with one hand. Seeing that Yu Qing was going to leave here, the hilt of the sword hit Yu Qing's chest and said with difficulty: "There are important items in the backpack. It cannot be abandoned.”
Yu Qing stopped and returned quickly. He entered the study and put Ash Heng's basket on his back. He also inserted his sword into the basket. With the basket behind him and someone in front of him, he ran to the courtyard wall and jumped out. …
