"Yu Shitou, what the hell is this name?"

Zhou Yi recalled all the criminals in the prison and determined that there was no such person.

There are many strong men in the world who come from the bottom and work their way up, but after gaining power, they change their names to domineering ones.

Gang leader Li Ergou and sword god Zhang Tiezhu, if word spreads about it, it will make the people in the world laugh to death.

As a result, many masters have similar names and frequently use words such as Xiao, Ba, Hao, Lie, etc. It is possible that they were named by the same person.

"I am quite well-informed, but I have never heard of this person. How dare you lie?"

The sword energy circled the top of Yu Jie's head, turning slightly in a circle. Strands of hair fell to the ground, and the skull was opened just half an inch away.

"Senior, please calm down, I will never deceive you..."

Yu Jie was so frightened that he gritted his teeth and said, "Yu Shitou is the real name of our ancestor, and he has another nickname outside of China, called Huang Tianwang!"

"Huang Tianwang..."

Zhou Yi's voice was vague, as if he was recalling the past: "I once had a relationship with him. I heard him talk about the Canghuang Rebellion, which was controlled by the Jiangnan family, and in the end the two kings became abandoned sons!"

"Senior is right. Back then, King Cang Tian had the help of his ancestors' talisman and seal, and even Li Wu couldn't please him."

Yu Jie said angrily: "The Jiangnan family originally supported the ancestors, but later secretly turned against the court and tricked the ancestors and King Cangtian into drinking a strange poison. Otherwise, how could the Xiantian Grand Master be captured alive!"

"I see."

Zhou Yi suddenly understood. After using the magic power to break through the innate realm, he realized that the Cangtian King was tyrannical back then.

Li Wu was able to capture him alive. He thought he was gifted, but the truth was that he was poisoned by a strange poison.

The great general who is famous all over the world is said to be upright and aboveboard, and he resorts to tricks without thinking.

This made Zhou Yi feel quite proud, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.

The innate master is invincible, but he is not immortal. The enemy will use traps, poisons, nightmares, and other vicious methods.

If you accidentally fall into the trap, you will follow in the footsteps of the Cangtian King!

"How to prove that you are a descendant of Queen Huang Tian?"

"This talisman is called the Shadow Talisman. It is a secret talisman passed down by our ancestors. The Shadow Secret Guard who once was so powerful in the south of the Yangtze River originated from this."

Yu Jie took out a talisman seal from his arms, and painted it with cinnabar to make a ghostly talisman: "When the imperial army attacked the Tianwang Mansion, I relied on this talisman to hide, and I was lucky enough to escape."

Zhou Yi asked: "What is the use of this talisman?"

Yu Jie said: "The shadow talisman can summon fog to protect the body, blending into the night, as if invisible."

Zhou Yi ordered: "Exercise it and let me gain knowledge!"

When he realized that Tianlao was dangerous, Zhou Yi hurriedly left for refuge and never saw King Huang Tian again.

It was originally thought that according to folklore, Huang Tianwang used talisman water to treat diseases and practice medicine, which was a strategy to unite faith and facilitate rebellion.

Now it seems that there are indeed some mysterious methods.

The art of talisman and seal script is different from the ordinary martial arts, and is more like a monk's method, which makes Zhou Yi full of expectations.

Yu Jie did not dare to refuse. The inner energy was poured into the talisman seal, and the shadow talisman spontaneously ignited without fire and turned into fly ash.

A black mist rose out of thin air in the cell and wrapped half a foot around Yu Jie. From a distance, the darkness almost blended into the night.

Zhou Yi asked: "Are there other talismans?"

"In the past few years, while avoiding the pursuit of Jin Yiwei, this junior has exhausted all the attack talismans, leaving only a few shadow talismans and divine walking talismans."

Yu Jie took out another talisman seal, and the texture depicted was different from the shadow talisman.

Zhou Yi hid in the dark and stared at Yu Jie for a moment, not sure whether the boy had attacked the talisman or not, in case a few fireballs were fired after revealing his figure.

The innate master reluctantly embarks on the path of cultivation, and may not be able to block the spiritual talisman.

"Didn't King Huang Tian teach you the art of talisman and seal script?"

Yu Jie pondered for a moment and said: "Some of it has been passed on, but the younger generation is too stupid to understand it."

Zhou Yi did not hide his purpose, and said in a fierce and domineering tone: "I am very interested in the art of talisman and seal script, so I will trade it with your kid's life. How about it?"

Yu Jie believed that Zhou Yi was an old monster in the Jianghu world. These people had perverse and violent personalities and did not dare to refuse him anything.

He tore open the cuffs of his sleeves with a stab and took out the blue book hidden inside: "The talisman taught by the ancestors, the juniors will record it all here, and the seniors can use it to understand."

Zhou Yi asked again: "Since your boy has inheritance, why do you still come to this prison?"

"Senior, I don't know something. Our ancestors only passed down the entry-level talismans. Then there were drastic changes and failed to leave a complete inheritance."

Yu Jie explained: "Even if it is an introductory talisman technique, the juniors still cannot understand it after studying it for several years. They can only place their hope in finding the follow-up content, and maybe they can learn the talisman and seal technique."

"Jie Jie Jie!"

A series of strange laughter passed into Yu Jie's ears, and Zhou Yi's voice revealed cold murderous intent.

"By saying so much, you kid is planning to use the method of driving away tigers and devouring wolves, and use my hands to find the inheritance of talismans?"

Yu Jie admitted obediently: "This junior has searched all over the places where our ancestors may have left their inheritance, and now there are only two places left: Tianlao and Zhaojao."

"Prison..."

Zhouyi had already searched the Tianlao, so Huang Tianwang's talisman and seal skills were most likely left in Jinyiwei's imperial prison.

The imperial prison is full of dangers, even more dangerous than the heavenly prison!

"It is said that King Huang Tian was taught by a stranger and mastered the art of talisman and seal script. Is it true or false?"

"Don't dare to hide it from senior!"

Yu Jie felt that the murderous intention was gradually dissipating, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and answered truthfully.

"What the world knows is a cover for our ancestors to tell the outside world. There were droughts for many years, and the Dog Emperor kept raising taxes. Our ancestors entered the Taoist temple just to eat."

"I didn't know that there was no rice in Guan. Our ancestors didn't want to starve to death, so they pretended to be wandering Taoist priests and secretly made a living by robbing tombs."

"The method of talisman and seal script was dug out from a tomb in Daishan Mountain. After the ancestors completed it, they used talisman water to practice medicine and accepted many disciples..."

Needless to say, Huang Tianwang’s disciples are spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, and many of them are children of aristocratic families. After the two joined forces, they rose up and called themselves the Tianwang!

Zhou Yi stared at Yu Jie for a moment, and finally ordered without killing him.

"Put the book down and you can leave."

"Thank you, senior!"

Yu Jie looked happy, bowed and saluted around him, carefully placed the book on the ground, and hurriedly left the prison.

Zhou Yi did not go to get the book, but secretly followed Yu Jie to a single-family house in Deshengfang.

Yu Jie breathed a sigh of relief, quickly collected the gold and silver items, and went straight to the west gate of Shenjing.

The soldier on duty seemed to know Yu Jie well, so he took a few banknotes and sent him out in a hanging basket.

"This kid has a future!"

Zhou Yi stood on the city wall and watched Yu Jie disappear.

Return to Tianlao.

Prison No. 2.

The blue book lay quietly on the ground, untouched.

Zhou Yi took the wooden stick and opened it page by page, but no attack talismans were triggered. He also found a mouse and chewed a few pages to make sure there was no strange poison that could be hit by touching it.

Xian Tianyuan wrapped his hands, picked up the book and read page by page.

"The way to make talisman paper and talisman pens is that the cinnabar is mixed with animal blood... When drawing talismans, you must be calm... The inner energy gathers at the tip of the pen... It is done in one go and cannot be interrupted..."

The content recorded in the book is not about the formal skills of talismans and seal scripts, but more like Yu Jie's class notes, which are mixed with many insights that are not right or wrong.

Turning to the last few pages of the Book of Changes, there are four complete drawings of talisman and seal script.

"The dust-clearing talisman, the house-safe talisman, the disease-removing talisman, and the light-weight talisman!"
