Chapter 53: Quenching Yang Spirit Knife
The city protector led the people into the city, and they didn't go far, when suddenly a group of men and horses ran in front of them.
"Who let you in?" asked a middle-aged man in the distance.
"Lord Commander!" said the city guard, looking at the middle-aged man in surprise, motioning for everyone to stop.
The middle-aged man rode over and kept staring at the crowd. When he saw the Six Princes, he didn't wait to stop the horses, he jumped off the horses directly, knelt down and said, "Qianjun County Order Xue Qian to see His Royal Highness the Six Princes!"
When the city protector and the others saw this, they knew that the person who came turned out to be the prince, so they quickly knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Meet His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince!"
The sixth prince waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be polite, this is an extraordinary time, and the top priority is to catch this monster that is harming Qianjun." ”
Xue Qian led everyone to stand up, he walked to the six princes and said, "This monster is fierce and abnormal, Your Highness's daughter's body, it is better to avoid it." ”
The sixth prince smiled and said, "Lord Junling doesn't need to worry, with Master Miaosheng here, the monster can't make any waves." ”
At this moment, a fast horse galloped in, and when it was near, the soldier on the horse stopped his horse and said to the commander, "My lord, the eighth corpse has been found in the second lane of West Street. ”
"Take us to see!" Before Xue Qian could give instructions, Master Miao Sheng said in the carriage.
Xue Qian knew that the person in the carriage was Master Miaosheng in the mouth of the six princes, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said to the soldiers: "Lead the way!"
Everyone followed the soldiers to the second lane of West Street and saw a shriveled male corpse.
Master Miao Sheng got down from the carriage, examined it carefully, and asked, "Is there a fortune teller in the county?" ”
Xue Qian thought for a while and said, "The fortune teller who has been there for many years, there is a very famous one in Qianjun. This Taoist priest's name is Bu Buluo, and he gives fortune telling to people and divination is to collect money after it is fulfilled. And the fortune teller can give as much as he wants, and he never cares. Because he is accurate, he is very famous in the county, and almost every family has asked him for fortune telling. ”
"That's him!" said Master Miao Sheng.
"Are you saying that Bu Buluo is that monster?" Xue Qian looked at Master Miaosheng in surprise and said, "He has been in Qianjun for more than twenty years, and he has always been kind, how can he be a monster that sucks people's essence and blood?"
He told fortunes to people in order to get the birth dates of these people and to find people with pure yang fate, and he chose to stay in Qianjun because the eight counties of Zhicheng were laid out in the Bagua elephant position, and Qianjun was the hexagram of pure yang. Master Miao Sheng said, "If my guess is correct, he is cultivating a demonic technique called the Quenching Yang Spirit Knife. To practice this kind of exercise, one needs to practice in the land of pure yang for decades to change the meridians of the human body. After the meridian change is completed, it is necessary to use the essence and blood of the person with pure yang life as the guide for refining, and each time it is tempered, the skill will be increased by one layer. However, the essence blood required for each tempering will be doubled, and it will take ten times before you can reach the highest level of this exercise. ”
"What's the use of this exercise?" Qi Feng asked curiously. He felt that this exercise was so evil, why did anyone still practice?
"If the Quenching Yang Spirit Knife is cultivated to the highest level, it can use the Invisible Spirit Knife to slaughter the city with one sword, killing and injuring tens of millions. Master Miao Sheng said.
"Slaughter the city with one sword?" the sixth prince repeated thoughtfully.
"Isn't that a thousand people beheaded?" Qi Feng said in surprise, "There really is such a technique in the world!"
"So what now?" Zi Yi said worriedly.
"Where does he live?" Master Miao Sheng asked, looking at Xue Qian.
"I'll take you there!" Xue Qian said and hurriedly got on the horse.
Xue Qian led everyone to rush to Bu Buluo's residence, but found that the building was empty.
"Go to the city gates!" the sixth prince ordered.
Xue Qian led everyone to the city gate again.
"Have you seen the divination master?" As soon as he arrived at the door, he didn't have time to dismount, Xue Qian asked the city guard.
"It's out of town. The city keeper replied.
"How long have you been out of the city, walking or riding?" Xue Qian continued to ask.
"Riding a horse, about the work of a cup of tea. The city keeper replied.
"Lord Commander, you take someone to stay in the county town to prevent him from coming back and forth. The sixth prince said, "Let's go after him!"
"Yes, Your Highness be careful on the road!" Xue Qian bowed.
The six princes led everyone out of the city.
"Your Highness, which direction are we chasing?" As soon as he left the city gate, Mu Feng looked at the darkness outside the city and asked.
It was now completely dark, and only a few scattered people came out of the city.
The sixth prince looked at the horizon looming in the distance, thought for a while, and said: "He has spent more than 20 years figuring out the birthdates of the people of Qianjun County, and he has found all the people with pure yang life, so it is impossible to give up easily. ”
"But after the people left the city, they all went in different directions, how could he find those people with pure yang life?" Qi Feng said with some confusion.
"The fortune teller will ask, and he must have inquired about the residences of those people outside the city, or the residences of relatives and friends, and should be able to guess where they are going. Ziyi said.
"Miss Ziyi is right, but we don't know this information that Bu Buluo has, even the Qianjun Commander doesn't know. So, we can't protect these people in advance. The Sixth Prince said, then looked at the carriage, "Master Miaosheng, what do you think?"
"In the cultivation process of the Quenching Yang Spirit Knife, the essence blood required each time must be obtained within one day, otherwise it will not be able to be successfully refined. Master Miao Sheng said in the carriage, "Tomorrow we need the essence blood of sixteen people with pure yang life, and if these sixteen people live not very far away, it is still possible to collect all the essence blood in one day." However, the day after tomorrow requires the essence blood of thirty-two pure Yang Personality people, and if these people are not together, it is impossible to obtain all the essence blood required for refining in one day. ”
"If he can't gather the essence blood of these pure yang people, he won't easily kill people?" Qi Feng asked.
"That's right. Cultivators know the principle of reincarnation of cause and effect, and if they do not have a definite grasp, they will not harm people's lives for no reason. Master Miao Sheng said, "So, we have two ways to go: one is to gather and protect these people in one place, and the other is to disperse these people in various places, so that he cannot find all sixteen pure yang people in one day. ”
"We don't know who are the people of the pure Yang life, and the people have already left the city, so it is not easy to gather. The Sixth Prince said, "We can let these people disperse." ”
"Haven't they already dispersed?" Qi Feng asked in surprise.
"This is not enough, but also to have all cities and counties put up notices in all villages and towns, telling the people who come out of Qianxian not to go to relatives and friends or go back to their former residences, but to live in inns and inns. All expenses for food and lodging during this period shall be subsidized by each city and county. The sixth prince said, "We can let the Qianjun Commander handle this matter." ”
"What Your Highness said is really a good idea!" said Master Miao Sheng, "in this way, we can stay overnight in Qianjun without delaying our trip to Licheng." ”
After the decision was made, the six princes led everyone back to the county seat of Qianjun, and Xue Qian welcomed everyone into the county mansion. The Six Princes asked Xue Qian to fly pigeons overnight to spread messages to nearby counties and villages, and asked local officials to be sure to post notices on every street before dawn.
