Originally, the mountain bone dragon thought that Zhang Haotian needed to write down these dragon runes one by one before he could start to memorize the spells slowly, and then practice using the spells through the spells. But Zhang Haotian didn't need pen and ink at all, after the mountain bone dragon said the dragon runes once, Zhang Haotian firmly remembered these dragon runes.

Although Zhang Haotian's qualifications are average, in some places he has strengths that ordinary people can't notice, and the mountain bone dragon has a little more expectations for Zhang Haotian.

The first time Zhang Haotian practiced was the dragon eye spirit spell, and the golden dragon body was already skilled enough, and he didn't need to waste the Dao talisman anymore. And because the dragon eye spirit is already in contact with it for the first time, it can make the Dao spirit infused with the rune circuit more condensed through spell casting.

But then, Zhang Haotian ran into trouble, just like the first time he used the golden dragon body charm at that time. As a talisman artist, Zhang Haotian is definitely not talented, the dragon chanting technique, a brand-new talisman, he mastered the same speed as the golden dragon body at that time, and his perception of the rune path was sluggish.

For a whole night, Zhang Haotian had no obvious progress in the new talisman, and the mountain bone dragon naturally took Zhang Haotian's performance into his eyes.

"It's late, you go back first, and then continue tomorrow night. The mountain bone dragon let Zhang Haotian go back and rest after practicing for a night.

"I'll practice for a while...... "For some reason, Zhang Haotian became very persistent when he saw his hope.

"Let go of this spell first, if you continue like this, the speed of learning the spell will become slower. You don't know how to make yourself more able to read through the runes more quickly. The mountain bone dragon said so Zhang Haotian.

Zhang Haotian raised his head and looked at the mountain bone dragon a little dazedly: "Then what should I do?"

"The dragon's body is light, and the sea of clouds swims. Adam's apple fire, closed mouth hot nucleus like a furnace. The body fire, from the throat of the fire, the fire through the scorched earth. You've already figured out a few ways to get started with all three of these spells, so it's helpful to familiarize yourself with the process of feeling rune paths through spells now. Go back, you can't be in a hurry to feel the rune, your slow progress is not only the reason why you have no talent, but also the rune like the dragon script, which is only inherited in the bloodline, will definitely be more difficult to use than the ordinary Dao rune. ”

Under the strong request of the mountain bone dragon, Zhang Haotian finally went back to Cuizhu Pavilion honestly, on the way back, he has been thinking about what the mountain bone dragon said to him at the end, in the next few days, it seems that he has to put his strength on those three charms, I don't know how much progress he will make.

......

It has been a month since the four students brought out by Sanshui have become disciples of Qingcheng Sect, and Sanshui's body has healed at this time, he didn't tell Shi Lingli his news, and left Sunset Forest silently, maybe he didn't want her to remember himself anymore.

After leaving the Sunset Forest, Sanshui began his long-planned plan, his first stop was the General's Village next to the Blood Peak Mountain in the Eastern Regions, and the person he wanted to visit was Hong Yuzhen, a puppeteer master who was very familiar to Eryan Valley.

Back in General Village, Sanshui sighed with emotion, there were no four children noisy on the way, and it was really lonely. But it's time for them to leave themselves and go through the experience, and following him, a guy who is good for nothing but talismans, can't really make them grow.

Sanshui walked to the shed behind the stage, and Xiangrui, who came out, immediately said: "Sir, we only start the show at the beginning of the month, and this is the backstage, please don't enter casually." ”

"Are you Master Hong's apprentice Xiangrui?" Sanshui hadn't seen Xiangrui before, but he had heard Eryangu describe his appearance, so he recognized it at a glance.

"I am, how can you recognize me?" Xiangrui's appearance was a little suspicious, as if he felt that Sanshui was some kind of bad intention.

"I am Sanshui, the teacher of Eryan Valley, and I came to visit Master Hong today. Sanshui explained the identity and intention.

"Are you the stupid teacher of Yan Gu? how can you have such a stupid disciple. Xiangrui immediately burst out laughing.

It turned out that Xiangrui thought that Eryan Gu was quite a stupid person, and Sanshui smiled meaningfully. At this time, Eryan Valley, far away in Qingcheng Mountain, may have sneezed.

"You wait here for a while, and I'll report to the master right away. Xiangrui lifted the backstage curtain and walked in.

It didn't take long for Xiangrui to come out again: "Please inside, the master said he could see you." ”

Under the leadership of Xiangrui, Sanshui walked into the backstage and found Hong Yuzhen who was carving a new puppet among several people inside, Hong Xunzhen's dark skin was crawling with wrinkles, and he was wholeheartedly carving new lines on the wood with a carving knife.

Sanshui bowed deeply to Hong Yuzhen and saluted: "The junior Sanshui has seen Master Hong. ”

Hong Yuzhen put down the carving knife in his hand, raised his head and squinted at Sanshui: "Aren't you the owner of the grocery store at the foot of Tiandao Mountain, what are you doing here?"

"A year ago, you were willing to teach Eryan Valley to practice string puppets, and I am really grateful. Sanshui thanked Hong Yuzhen.

"Your thanks are more than half a year late. Hong Yu really snorted coldly.

"The juniors are entangled in too many things, and I am really sorry that I can't thank them in time. ”

"Then you came here today to thank you?" Listening to his tone, Hong Yuzhen didn't seem to welcome Sanshui very much, but since he agreed to Sanshui to come in, Sanshui felt that he still had room to continue talking.

Sanshui shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "The juniors came today to ask for something, and only by coming in person can the sincerity of the juniors be highlighted." ”

"Can sincerity still be said by oneself?" Hong Yuzhen chuckled sarcastically.

Sanshui straightened up and looked at Hong Yuzhen, the compliment just now disappeared from his face, leaving only a profound solemnity: "The junior Zhang family has no surname." ”

Hong Yuzhen's eyes changed suddenly, becoming extremely fierce and fierce, looking like a different person. Xiangrui, who saw Hong Xinzhen's expression, was frightened, this was the first time he saw Hong Zhenzhen's terrifying expression.

"All of you go out, I have something to talk to your guests. Hong Yuzhen said coldly.

Everyone in the backstage noticed that Hong Yu was really wrong, and they didn't dare to say much, so they walked out of the backstage of the theater one after another, and one of the young people also took the stunned Xiangrui out of the backstage. Now there are only two people left in the backstage of the entire theater, Sanshui and Hong Xinzhen, Hong Xinzhen looked at Sanshui, and his eyes were enough to see his hostility.

"What are the people of the Zhang family doing here?" Hong Yu said sharply.

"In order to see the other people of the Zhang family. Zhang Yuzhen senior. Sanshui replied indifferently, not deterred by Hong Yuzhen.

Hong Yu, who looked fierce, suddenly laughed, and the laughter was full of sadness and helplessness: "It's been fifty years, I've been away for fifty years, I didn't expect that there would be people who would recognize me, and the people looking for me are actually other people with surnames." I didn't expect it, I didn't expect ......."

Hong Yuzhen restrained his helpless laughter, and sighed with a tired face: "Alas, what did you get rid of your surname?" Is it a wraith?"

"Born as a member of the Zhang family, how can he be removed from the demon spirit. My wife is a snow demon, and my father sacrificed her with blood......" Sanshui's voice trembled, and every time he mentioned his beloved wife who had passed away, he would always feel his heart tremble involuntarily.

"Are you in love with a demon spirit? This is really ironic for the Zhang family. Hong Yuzhen made no secret of his contempt for the Zhang family in his words.

"I've privately investigated the affairs of my predecessors......," Sanshui said tentatively.

Hong Yuzhen looked at him, his eyes were a little cold, the reason for every person who removed his surname was a scar that could not be healed and did not want others to peep.

"Please forgive the rudeness of the juniors, the juniors are also forced to do so. Fifty years ago, while participating in an operation to capture demon spirits, he accidentally fell off a cliff, and was later rescued by someone in a village, and has been recuperating in the village ever since. It's just that the village is a village of demons......"

Hong Yuzhen interrupted Sanshui's narration, he looked very painful when he closed his eyes, Sanshui did not continue, Hong Yuzhen himself told the story.

"At that time, I really didn't know that they were demon spirits, they took care of me so meticulously, they were so kind, when I lived with them, I even felt the warmth that I couldn't experience in Zhang's house.

"Later, my health was much better, and I would go to do some work to help them, and sometimes I wondered if I might as well live here, it was much better here than being a demon slayer in the Zhang family.

"Later, I met the demon spirit I was hunting, he was their son, and he was taking care of the child born to my Uncle Yun and his wife. At that time, I was confused, they are demon spirits? such kind, such gentle people can actually be demon spirits.

"I couldn't believe it, but the truth was in front of my eyes, I used the clan's talisman to detect demon spirits, not only them, but the entire village was a demon spirit......

"I ran away, and I fled back to the Zhang family in embarrassment, I couldn't believe that they were evildoers, but at that time I told my family that there were demons, a whole village, because the family's creed required me to do so.

"I don't regret that day for a long time. On the day the village was sacrificed with blood, I was there, and I watched. Uncle Yun, who rescued me, will take care of my sister-in-law Yun every day, by the way, Sister-in-law Yun's cooking is very delicious, and their sons are the target of my hunt......

"The family was standing there, looking at me and smiling, they didn't resent me at all, I was the one who killed them. I saw Second Uncle Lin in the butcher shop, Sister-in-law De and Sister-in-law Ming who often went to the river to wash clothes, Chen Laosan in the bun shop, and the group of children who played all day long...... The faces of each of them are in my mind and never disappear......

"At that moment, I understood that they were definitely not as heinous as the family said they were, they were the nicest people I had ever met. I rushed madly towards the barrier of the Blood Sacrifice, my father stopped me, and I struggled, begging them to spare the villagers. But no one listened to me, they looked at me like a stranger, as if I was as damned as a demon......

"I still haven't won back the people in the village, I killed them, and I can't forgive myself. I abandoned my family's creed and stood on the opposite side of the Zhang family, and then I was expelled from the Zhang family. Then he came to the General's Village with his guilt for everyone in Uncle Yun's village, and performed a puppet show here for fifty years. ”

After Hong Yuzhen finished telling his story, Sanshui listened very carefully, he had a very thorough understanding of what happened fifty years ago in the process of investigation, but when he heard Hong Yuzhen recount the past events, he still couldn't help but be moved.

"You're not just here to hear me talk about these old things. Hong Yuzhen had already seen that Sanshui's arrival had ulterior motives.

"I'm here to invite seniors, and I hope they can join my program. "Sanshui explained the meaning.

"Oh, the plan, what the plan?"

"Subvert the Zhang family!" Sanshui said categorically, not allowing the slightest wavering.
