The sudden sound startled the two of them.
"Tao... Taoist priest, have you eaten yet?!"
"Well! I've finished eating. Your food is really delicious, although it's a bit expensive."
Zhiqiu Yiye paid the bill and picked up a toothpick with a toothpick.
"The shopkeeper has a very good eye. Have you seen similar magic swords?!"
Maybe it was because Zhiqiu Yiye looked kind-hearted, or maybe the silver on the counter added a bit of charm to him, so the shopkeeper, who was a little nervous at first, felt relieved.
"Sir, my shop is full of people coming and going. I welcome and send hundreds of customers a day. I always see some strange people."
"Let's not talk about it from afar, but let's talk about the Minister of Public Security, Mr. Yan Chixiayan. His sword has many strange-looking lines and patterns..."
"This is called Yunlu!" Zhiqiu Yiye emphasized seriously.
Shopkeeper: "...Okay, Yun Lu is just Yun Lu. Anyway, I think they all look the same."
After knowing what he wanted to know, Zhiqiu Yiye walked away. After taking two or three steps, he felt that the bag was empty and immediately stepped back.
"Shopkeeper, let me ask you, is there any big business nearby that wants to exorcise ghosts?"
If you have no money, you can only earn some.
You can't really sleep in a broken temple! ?
While wandering around, he once saw an inn, and after taking a quick look inside, it was very different from what he had seen elsewhere.
Although it is said that ascetics are monks and should not be deceived by the luxurious life, Master also said that to practice in the world and accumulate merit, you need to roll around in the world of mortals before you can truly be born in the world.
In the words of those monks, only by truly picking up can you completely let go.
good!
I know that Master Qiu Yiye is not doing this for pleasure. This is just a way of practicing in the world of mortals.
"The Taoist priest is joking, this is the capital city of Jianye! Not only is Marshal Han leading the First Army of the Taiping Army stationed there all year round, but there are also inspectors under Lord Yan who work day and night. Recently, many strange people and strangers have come... …”
"Now, how can any monster be so bold as to come here to do evil?!"
Let's just say I'm out of business! ~
Zhiqiu Yiye's expression suddenly dropped.
The shopkeeper was a smart man, and he guessed at the blink of an eye that the young Taoist priest was probably out of money.
"Actually, since the Taoist priest has real skills, why not give it a try at the Ministry of Public Security? That place was reorganized from the original [Demon Slayer Department]."
The Demon Slayer? ?
"Forget it, I won't go to the government office to work."
"Then does the Xuan Kingdom government have any bounty missions?"
Seeing that the shopkeeper and the waiter were shaking their heads, Zhiqiu Yiye sighed.
"Are there no more bounty missions? Hey!~~"
The money in his pocket was no longer enough for him to eat and drink at the next meal, so he could only survive by eating some steamed buns.
Hey~~!
Another deep sigh.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality! ~
"How about going to perform at a show?!"
Zhiqiu Yiye's eyes suddenly lit up, he thought this was a good idea.
Just do what you say, look around, find a place with many people, and immediately start shouting.
Soon, a lot of people gathered next to him, so Zhiqiu Yiye started to perform even harder.
………………
After a performance, Zhiqiu Yiye happily counted the rewards.
"Ten coins, thirty coins, eighty coins... Oh, there are people who directly reward one or two silver coins. Wow, you are so generous..."
"What a rich man!......"
A rough male voice sounded behind him: "If your master knew that you were making money by performing Taoist arts, would he expel you directly?!"
Zhiqiu Yiye instinctively retorted.
"How is that possible? This is what my master taught me..."
As soon as he spoke, his body suddenly changed from extremely still to extremely active, and he flew five feet away in an instant, and the reward money all "dinged" all over the floor.
"who is it?!"
Amidst the loud shouts, Zhiqiu Yiye had already prepared the magic formula and was ready to use it at any time.
"Very good reflexes!"
The voice did not move and remained in the same place, as if to avoid misunderstanding.
When Zhiqiu Yiye heard the sound and looked over, he saw a man with a majestic beard.
"Who are you……?"
No malice was felt on the person. Zhiqiu Yiye's expression returned to normal, but he was still secretly pinching the magic formula in his hand.
"Yan Chixia."
"What do you call your little brother?"
"Um...are you Yan Chixia?!"
Zhiqiu Yiye was no stranger to this name. He had seen his articles many times in "Xinmin Digest" about the investigation of the case, which he regarded as a story for entertainment.
I thought he was a scholar, but now I see that he is really...you can't tell a person by his appearance!
"I know Qiu Yiye, a post-academic scholar of the Kunlun sect."
"Kunlun Sect?!"
Yan Chixia was slightly shocked, this was a famous family!
But this disciple uses Taoism to show off his skills? Or was it taught by the teacher...?
Previously, Yan Chixia saw with her own eyes the young Taoist priest using two talisman figures to fight each other. It was like a shadow puppet show, but more vivid. No wonder it attracted everyone to watch...!
"A fallen leaf tells the world of autumn, and the name of my little brother is quite meaningful."
"That's right! You are really discerning!~"
"It's better to meet by chance than an invitation. I happen to have a rest today. Little brother, do you want to come to my place for a drink?"
The Kunlun Sect is located in the north of the Central Plains. This is the first time Yan Chixia has met someone from the Kunlun Sect.
"Okay! I wish I could have it."
Zhiqiu Yiye was not polite at all and agreed directly.
Because of the weight of the three words "Yan Chixia", and if you do this, you can save a lot of money...
When I came to Yan Chixia's home, it was not the mansion of a wealthy family that Zhiqiu Yiye imagined, but just a small single-family courtyard. However, the decoration of this environment was too comfortable!
It feels like the vitality of the world here seems to be more intense and active... No, this is not an illusion, it is really better than the outside world.
Could it be that a formation has been set up? ?
But Zhiqiu Yiye didn't sense any traces of the array pattern? !
It can't be a natural formation, right?
How can there be such neat and uniform green plants in the natural array? !
In fact, this is the residential area for high-level officials within the Xuan Kingdom. It was built according to the design drawings given by Hong Kang. Each small building is located on a Qi node, which can increase the speed of cultivation by about 10%.
Don’t look at it as just 10%, but this is the accumulation over many years!
Yan Chixia brought Zhiqiu Yiye in, and then took out the wine jar. The two started drinking and talking. The more they talked, the more they felt that the other person had a good temper. Both of them were good drinkers.
As we talked, we talked about Taoism, magic and magic.
When it comes to the realm of Taoism, Yan Chixia is naturally better, but he is a casual cultivator; and although Zhi Qiu Yiye is young and has little skill, he was taught by an orthodox mountain sect...
The more the two chatted, the more they became more speculative, and even began to practice Taoism with each other. This was not to compete for superiority, but to discuss Tao...
Both of them felt that they had gained something.
Get excited.
Yan Chixia shouted loudly.
"Here comes the sword!~"
The Xuanyuan Divine Sword "Canglang" in the sword box was unsheathed and fell into his palm.
Zhiqiu Yiye opened his Dharma eyes, took a closer look, and secretly admired it.
This sword looks like raw copper, with a five-jointed handle, and there are hidden runes, stars, sun and moon on it.
"Is this the sword of the holy way??" Zhiqiu Yiye was slightly shocked.
"It's just imitation." Yan Chixia shook her head.
Then he used the sword skills and performed various sword-controlling techniques.
Swords transform into thousands, swords divide in a moment, hundreds of swords fly together, swords return to the infinite......
Of course, since it was just a demonstration of the sword technique, Yan Chixia did not inject much mana, but he fully demonstrated the subtleties of the sword technique.
Zhiqiu Yiye was dazzled by the sight!
Although he also has a magic sword, he is not proficient in sword techniques. He uses it more to match the spells to fight against the enemy. It is really a waste of this "magic blade".
"Shen Feng" is the name of his magical sword, which was his gift when he started his apprenticeship.
Suddenly.
Zhiqiu Yiye's memory returned to Kunlun Mountain.
At that time, he knelt before the master.
The Taoist sect is governed by sword rituals. The master passes the sword to his disciples, and the disciples should kneel down to receive the sword to demonstrate the inheritance of the dharma.
The master solemnly said: "The light shines on the bullfighting, the Dharma elephants are male and female, the gods are shocked, and the branches are divided into sects. The nine ugly ones are eliminated, the titles are lifted, the Yunhan is on the plate, and the Gangfeng is taken seriously. It leads people to change, suddenly west and east, the law and precepts Use it in vain, call it "Shen Feng", and now teach it to your son, who will lead him."
After the master's instruction, he gave Zhiqiu Yiye the sword. The magic sword is used to hand over and confirm the alliance between heaven and earth. The magic sword can be used in a proper way. The magic sword can be used for self-defense and to kill evil. It cannot be used in violation of this...
After Yan Chixia demonstrated the sword technique, Zhiqiu Yiye naturally used various spells of his own, such as the wind ghost exorcism order, the fire Tiangang Wulihuo... and so on, all kinds of celestial phenomena flashed for a while. , causing some people to pay attention, but after seeing the direction of Yan Chixia, they withdrew their surprise.
Yan Chixia appreciated his talent and invited Zhiqiu Yiye, but was naturally rejected.
"That's fine!"
"Everyone has his or her own ambitions, so I won't force it."
However, thinking of Zhiqiu Yiye's superb level of talismans, Yan Chixia's thoughts came to mind. He thought of how Taoist Yan had asked him to find some talisman masters before.
"Zhiqiu, the bounty mission is gone, but now there is a project that lacks experts who are skilled in talismans... Just listen to me first,"
Seeing that Qiu Yiye was about to refuse instinctively, Yan Chixia stopped him.
"You don't need to join Daxuan, just treat it as a foreign aid. After that, you can continue to travel around!~"
Zhiqiu Yiye hesitated, Yan Chixia said so, and it would be a bit unsatisfactory to refuse again.
And it’s just foreign aid! ~
Just treat it as a bounty mission. It's nothing more than slaying demons and ghosts to assisting in some project.
"What project is it?"
"Improved [Thousand-mile Sound Transmission Talisman]."
………………
Ministry of Science and Technology.
Taoist Yan stared at Zhiqiu Yiye's back, watching him move from one instrument to another, strange and lively, and his details were full of suspicion.
Talisman is a profound knowledge, and most young Taoist priests don't like this kind of "literary" technique, preferring more "martial" techniques like sword tactics.
This young man looks like a monkey, can he study and practice talismans with such concentration? !
Taoist Yan glanced sideways at Yan Chixia, his eyes signaling.
Is this the talisman master you are talking about? ?
Yan Chixia's expression did not change, he had seen Zhiqiu Yiye's level with his own eyes.
"Zhiqiu, did you see something?"
Zhiqiu Yiye said without turning around: "This [Thousand-mile Sound Transmission Talisman] is so different from the ones I've seen. If it weren't for the core of its "belly", I almost didn't recognize it."
"Then, the effect after changing the talisman lines, um... the idea is exquisite, allowing the talisman master to use less mana to achieve the original effect, but..."
"Taoist Priest, what is the purpose of adding the inscription "Guiyuan Talisman" here??"
"It feels a bit unnecessary!~"
Because it does not help the effect of [Thousand Miles Sound Telegraph Talisman] at all.
[Guiyuan Talisman], as the name suggests, is a talisman that converts various alien powers into vitality.
As Zhiqiu Yiye explained bit by bit, Taoist Yan's expression became less casual and gradually became more serious.
A capable person will naturally be respected.
Taoist Yan admitted that he had made a mistake. The level of talismans of this young Taoist named Zhiqiu Yiye was definitely not lower than his own.
"No, this is the most useful improvement so far."
………………
The three religions and nine streams are all gathered together, the five elements and eight works are all flourishing, and Taoist priests and living paper figures with different skills are performing a microcosm of the world.
