[9,000 words chapter.] 】

Evening.

In a dark hut.

Liao Xun and Liao's father-in-law bowed his waist slightly, standing respectfully in front of an earthen kang.

A young man with messy hair, old clothes, dressed like a Luotuo Jianghu person, with a pale face and a smooth chin, sat cross-legged on the clay kang, peeling edamame and drinking wine, and asked:

"Identified? Not the same name and surname? ”

His voice was a little hoarse, as if his voice was broken, and as if he was deliberately suppressing his voice to speak.

Despite this, he could still vaguely hear that his voice was a little feminine and delicate.

Liao Xun arched his hand and replied respectfully:

"Back to Lord Ding, the villain has carefully looked at his appearance, and asked someone to inquire about his origin, it is indeed Shen Lang of Yingzhou Mansion."

The young man with a pale face and a smooth chin threw a few edamame beans into his mouth and asked:

"After disappearing for more than two months, can his strength improve?"

Liao Xun said solemnly:

"This son's strength has really improved a lot. More than two months ago, when the bounty was just released on the black market, his martial arts were only seven grades. Now it seems that he has cultivated his internal strength and has six grades of cultivation. It's just that I don't know how deep his internal strength is and how pure his skills are. ”

Master Ding disagreed:

"In just over two months, even if you cultivate your internal strength, how deep and pure can your skills be? This kind of martial arts is not worth mentioning. It's his spells......

"Although the 'dual cultivation of law and martial arts' is just a joke, at most he can cultivate one or two at the next three grades, and when he reaches the sixth rank or above, it is impossible to have the time and energy to cultivate at the same time, but when he was in Yingzhou, since he had killed a fifth-grade martial artist with a spell, his spells should not be underestimated. Can you find out the details of his spells? ”

Liao Xun groaned for a while and said slowly:

"Even the geniuses of the Daoist Academy, the average time to learn a nine-grade spell takes a whole month, so no matter how Shen Lang is a genius of the Heavenly Vertical, can he still surpass the average level of the students of the Daoist Academy, and even reach the realm of the 'Little Heavenly Master' even the clouds?

"It's only been more than two months, so the villain speculates that his spell cultivation should still be the eighth grade. After entering the Dao Academy, there may be a certain improvement, but it will never improve too much in a short period of time. Rest assured, the villain has found a helper, and will keep an eye on him to find out what spells he has practiced in the monastery. ”

Lord Ding bowed his head in satisfaction and asked:

"Found it for the dead ghost?"

Liao Xun smiled:

"Hui Ding, I found a good place for the dead ghost, he is a Taoist student named Zhou Shicheng, a native of Hezhou Mansion, ambitious, and motivated, and he was also the pride of the sky when he was in his hometown, and when he entered the Taoist Academy at the beginning of the year, he also had a period of glory.

"It's a pity that his talent is a 'pseudo-talent', two years before he entered the Taoist Academy, he leapfrogged to the seventh grade, but now five years have passed, but he still only has seven grades of cultivation.

"It's not that the qualifications of the Yuan Shen are insufficient, Zhou Shicheng's ability to cultivate the 'view of ideas' is actually acceptable, and now the Yuan Shen has a five-grade realm, that is, his wisdom and understanding are limited, and he can't understand or learn the secret scrolls of spells above the sixth grade, and he can't learn a six-grade spell.

"I refuse to admit the reality, and I have always hoped to break through the 'lower three products' and reach the sixth or even the fifth grade.

"Nowadays, there are no wealthy businessmen and tycoons who are willing to sponsor him to practice. He looks down on those who are willing to fund him. He learned alchemy, but he didn't succeed, he couldn't learn alchemy, and the talisman and formation were all half-baked.

Therefore, he didn't have a way to make money by selling pills, magic weapons, and talismans, and he had been very short of money in the past few years, which also made him blame the reason for his stagnation in his cultivation on the lack of money, and he was already a little paranoid and close to the demon.

"And if you kill Shen Lang, you can get 50,000 silver dollars, a second-grade official with real power, if you only rely on the silver reward of the Lu and the New Year's Festival, you have to save for seventeen or eighteen years without eating or drinking, in the face of such a sky-high bounty, the villain will bewitch at will, and he will make Zhi faint......"

After elaborating on how to move Zhou Shicheng and dispel his doubts, Liao Xun said:

"Contacting the kid surnamed Shen and exploring the details of it is all done by Zhou Shicheng, and the villain will not have any contact with the kid surnamed Shen.

"After the matter is completed, you only need to kill the person surnamed Zhou, and the villain will hide a little farther away, even if it is Yan Tianying and Wanfa Zhenren, there is nothing to be done.

"If you really want to investigate to the end, if you really find out the truth for them, will they dare to turn against Your Majesty?"

When Lord Ding heard this, he glanced at Liao Xun coldly, and said:

"As slaves, we can only share your Majesty's worries, and we must not cause trouble for Your Majesty. Even if you and I are dead, we can't implicate Your Majesty in this matter, understand? ”

Liao Xun was agitated, and he fell to his knees:

"What Lord Ding said is that the villain should keep it in mind, even if he dies, he will not let Yan Tianying and Chang Yuzhen involve His Majesty in the matter."

Lord Ding hummed in a long tone, peeled a few more edamame, drank a glass of wine, and then said:

"When you do it, I will send you a 'Ding Hao' of the five grades of martial arts. After the matter is completed, you are responsible for disposing of Zhou Shicheng. That 'Ding Hao' will evaporate from the world. As for you......

"From now on, change your face, go incognito, and go to the Eighth Prince's 'Secret Xuanlou' to do things."

Liao Xun kowtowed respectfully:

"It's all up to Lord Ding's arrangement."

……

Seven days later.

Zhou Shicheng came to the Tibetan Scripture Hall, found a familiar junior who worked here to earn tuition fees and was responsible for registering the correspondents, pushed over a silver dollar, and asked:

"The newcomer Shen Lang, has he been staying in the Scripture Hall for the past few days?"

"Senior Brother Zhou is polite."

The junior brother put away the silver dollar with a smile, picked up the register and looked through it for a while, and said with a smile:

"Yes, that Shen Lang has been in the scripture hall for seven days. Not only did I pay for three meals a day, but I also rented a small single room and never left at night. Spending at least twenty silver dollars a day, what a guy with a lot of money. ”

The seven-pin county order is a month's worth of twenty silver dollars. The guy named Shen Lang, the expenses in the Tibetan Scripture Hall for a day can top the Qipin County Order for a month, isn't it rich?

Zhou Shicheng frowned slightly, and said in his heart Seven days ago, when Shen Lang first entered the Taoist Academy, in order to gain his trust, I told him about the pit of the Tibetan Scripture Palace, 1510, but he actually practiced in the Tibetan Scripture Palace?

It's really young and frivolous, and I don't know how thick the sky is!

Zhou Shicheng secretly despised Shen Lang in his heart, and asked again:

"What spell scrolls has he looked at these days? Which spell secret scroll did you borrow? ”

Seven days, unless that Shen Lang is a peerless genius such as "Little Heavenly Master" Lian Yunxiao, who is expected to be a first-grade genius, under normal circumstances, he can't even learn a ninth-grade spell.

Therefore, in Zhou Shicheng's opinion, Shen Lang may have looked through many spell secret scrolls, but in the end, he will definitely only choose a desirable Taoist secret scroll for enlightenment.

The junior brother looked at the record book and said with a smile:

"That Shen Lang has looked through the secret scrolls, but the little brother doesn't know, after all, when he is looking through the classics in the palace, the little brother can't follow him all the time. However, the secret scroll he brought to the private room was also a 'qi binding technique'. He hasn't been out of a single room for the past seven days, and he thinks he's fully contemplating this technique. ”

Qi Binding Technique, a nine-rank spell, can send out a rope formed by the condensation of air currents, firmly binding the target from head to toe, and it is a technique that has both control and grabbing.

As the level of cultivation increases, the number and strength of the airflow ropes will increase.

The "Qi Binding Technique" performed by the Nine-Rank Monk can only capture the Eight-Rank Martial Artist. However, if a fifth-rank monk performs this technique, even a fourth-rank martial artist who has not yet reached the realm of great perfection can be captured in one fell swoop.

"The people of the Divine Capture Hall, it is reasonable to practice this technique."

Zhou Shicheng slowly bowed his head thoughtfully, and took out a gold coin and handed it over:

"Please help me keep an eye on the sinking waves, I want to know how long it will take him to cultivate the 'Qi Binding Technique'. After that, if he wants to continue to practice, please help me pay attention to any spell he learns. ”

The junior brother took the gold bill, checked it, and it was almost two or two, and suddenly smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth:

"Senior Brother Zhou is so polite! Although the senior brother can rest assured, the younger brother will definitely help the senior brother keep an eye on that Shen Lang and master his every move! ”

Senior Brother Zhou nodded with satisfaction, and said again:

"Don't let him know I've inquired about him."

The master nodded again and again:

"Senior brother rest assured, junior brother can save it."

……

In a cramped single room with only one bed, a table and a chair, Shen Lang was sitting cross-legged on the couch, practicing with his eyes closed.

The "Qi Binding Technique" scroll was placed on the table at random, and it was never opened at all—it was just a borrowed prop to hide people's eyes and ears and mislead people with ulterior motives.

In other words, on the first day he came to the Tibetan Scripture Palace, Shen Lang was like a mouse entering the rice warehouse, scanning hundreds of spells from the ninth to the fifth grade in one go, all of which were stored in the little moon of the demon taming technique.

As for the fourth-grade and above spells, it's not that he doesn't want to scan.

It's just that the spells above the fourth grade are all in the deeper part of the Tibetan Scripture Hall, guarded by various forbidden formations.

If you want to go in and read it, you must have more than five grades of cultivation, and you must also have a certificate issued by a full-time professor of the Taoist Academy.

If you prove it, Shen Lang has a real jade talisman token of ten thousand laws, which can be used as a certificate.

But his cultivation is not enough, and now he is only a sixth-grade cultivator, and he is not qualified to read the secret scrolls of spells above the fourth-grade.

To be honest, most of the spells of the Imperial Capital Daoist Academy are just big road goods.

At the beginning, the Great Chu Taizu swept the world, unified the eastern land, established the imperial capital Taoist Academy, ordered the world's cultivation sects, and contributed their respective legal code secret scrolls as the teaching materials of the Taoist Academy.

At that time, the dragon and snake in the world had just been leveled, and the strength of Da Chu, who had just swept the world and killed all the ministers, was super fierce in a hundred battles.

Chu Taizu himself is the world's number one martial arts master.

A "Jiuyang Sword", a "Battle Spirit Flag", there are two great martial arts masters who have been killed by their own hands, and there are also three great real people who have been killed-in the last years of the previous dynasty, the sky was killed, and under the boiling spirit, countless heroes and strong people came into being.

In just 30 years, there have been five great martial arts masters and eight first-class great real people.

The newly promoted thirteen great grandmasters and great real people, plus the stock of the previous dynasty: two great grandmasters and five great real people, at that time, there were twenty great grandmasters and great real people coexisting in the world at that time.

Of course, most of these great masters and great truths eventually died in the troubled times.

Chu Taizu alone killed as many as five people.

With this great ferocity, after the world was decided, Chu Taizu ordered all the sects to surrender and hand over the legal code, and none of the cultivation sects dared to resist.

Even Buddhism was forced to establish a three-rank and above martial monks and Dharma cultivation with Chu Taizu, and they were not allowed to interfere with the world's death agreement, and presented a lot of Buddhist martial arts and spells.

However, all the cultivation sects also left a hand.

The real core secret methods and top-level true legends of each faction were not honestly handed over to the Imperial Capital Daoist Academy.

It is impossible for Chu Taizu to make a big move because of this, start another expedition, and wipe out the Dongtu cultivation sect - the world is so big, can't people run if they can't beat it?

When Chu Taizu swept through the troubled times, there were several sects that stood on the wrong side, for fear that Chu Taizu would settle accounts after the autumn, and did not dare to surrender, so he escaped from the eastern land with his inheritance, or escaped into Mobei, or went to the Western Regions, or sailed to the sea.

Therefore, if the various cultivation sects are really forced to run away one after another, it will be the foundation of Da Chu that will be lost, and the strength of Siyi will be boosted.

Therefore, Chu Dazu's reservations about the various sects can only turn a blind eye, and it is impossible to exhaustively investigate it to the end.

As a result, although the Daoist Academy has a collection of countless codes and has the most comprehensive spell cultivation system in the East, there are very few truly top-notch boutiques.

For example, the secret method of Buddhism obtained by Shen Lang, and the collection of the Taoist Academy only stopped at the seven products.

And there is no fundamental view of Buddhism, and it is difficult to exert the strongest power of those Buddhist secret methods.

The same is true for most of the other sects' legal codes.

Only a very small number of cultivation sects that stood on the wrong team, supported the wrong true dragon, did not run or surrender, and resisted to the end, were swept away by Chu Taizu taking advantage of the war and collecting all the secret volumes of his code.

However, those cultivation sects that have been wiped out will not be easily placed in the Taoist Academy.

are all collected by the royal family, and unless they serve the real people of the royal family, they will not have a chance to see them.

In short, if you want to find the top high-quality spells in the "Tibetan Scripture Hall" of the Taoist Academy, it is tantamount to panning for gold in the sand.

But Shen Lang didn't care much.

He already had a top-notch True Inheritance Secret Method, but he lacked too many mid-level and low-level spells, and needed more and more comprehensive spells to fill his large number of vacant "spell slots".

And the top true secret method, in fact, there are not too many sects.

It's like Buddhist law cultivation, most of them just use a lot of top-notch secret methods, with all kinds of ordinary spells on the big road.

Moreover, Shen Lang's "Little Moon of Demon Taming" also has the ability to deduce.

Although it can't be deduced out of thin air, as long as it is given enough references, it can deduce a spell to be more complete and powerful.

For example, the Dalu Goods Nine Rank Spell "Qi Binding Technique", the demon taming trick Xiaoyue can take the "Qi Binding Technique" as the foundation, refer to similar binding and grappling spells, and deduce them into a spell comparable to the true secret methods of various famous sects.

The only problem is that if the deduction ability of the Demon Taming Technique is activated, the speed of producing Emperor Flowing Pulp will slow down or even stagnate, and Shen Lang will need to carefully consider and make a trade-off.

In addition, even if Shen Lang can comprehend any spell in a second, it will take time to construct spell runes.

A nine-rank spell, it now takes him about a day and a half to build successfully.

It takes more than two days for the eighth product, three or four days for the seventh product, and about six days for the sixth product.

So even if he scanned hundreds of spells in one go, in just seven days, it wouldn't be enough for him to cultivate.

And he doesn't have so many spell slots, so many spells scanned, in fact, most of them are just used as data reserves.

Having said that, in the past seven days, he hasn't actually cultivated a single spell.

The reason why this was so was because after he browsed a book that explained the basics of Dao in detail, and finally made up for the basic knowledge of Dao Arts, he finally understood what characteristics a true six-grade Dharma cultivation needed to have.

The real six-grade magic cultivation is not only to cultivate the spells, and to cultivate the nine-grade and eight-grade spells to the point that they can "be thought of immediately", but most importantly, to be able to "permanently solidify" a nine-grade spell.

Spells that are "permanently solidified" can not only be cast instantaneously, but also consume very little, only less than one-tenth of the normal cast, and the spell will not cause any concussive impact on the spell rune, and can be cast at will an unlimited number of times.

That's almost the equivalent of some "talent."

After discovering this, Shen Lang consulted many classics one after another, and finally found a way to permanently solidify the spell.

So for the past seven days, Shen Lang has been practicing this method, trying to permanently solidify the "iron cloth shirt" on himself.

The iron cloth shirt is only a nine-grade spell, but this technique is a secret method of Buddhism, which can get the bonus of Shen Lang's "Great Sun Rulai Concept", and with his six-grade cultivation as the performance of this technique, the defense power of the "Iron Cloth Shirt" is also considerable.

This technique is also a blessing spell, which is directly blessed on one's own skin and flesh, and is not like the "Golden Bell Jar", which has to be topped with a golden and translucent inverted golden bell.

Therefore, after the permanent curing of this operation, it can be turned on 24 hours a day, and it can be under the defense of the "iron cloth shirt" at any time.

The iron cloth shirt on the spell side that is turned on around the clock, plus the iron cloth shirt and golden bell jar on the martial arts side, plus the various strengthened defenses given by the little demons in feedback, Shen Lang felt that with his current armor layer, even if the martial artists in the early and middle stages of the fourth rank could not break their own defenses.

After spending seven days of hard work and fixing the "Iron Cloth Shirt" forever, Shen Lang began to officially practice spells, intending to make up for the six-grade spells first.

He now only has a total of three six-rank spell slots.

There is already an attack-type "Heavenly Dragon Mantra", the remaining two six-grade spell slots, and one is going to cultivate the "Crossing Man Mantra" recorded in the more than one-foot-thick tome that the Fa Liuli gave him.

This spell is a crowd-controlled spell that persuades people to "put down the butcher knife".

It can shake multiple enemies at the same time, attack their psychic loopholes, arouse and amplify the negative emotions in the hearts of the enemy, such as guilt, remorse, sadness, fear, and despair, which can make the enemy collapse without a fight, or self-defeat without a fight, or turn against him on the spot, in short, the effect is very powerful.

With an attack, a control-type spell, and a third six-grade spell, it is natural to choose defense.

Among the secret scrolls of the true transmission of Buddhism obtained by Shen Lang, as well as most of the tomes given by Fa Liuli, there is no defensive spell in the six-grade stage, and you have to wait until the fifth-grade to practice "King Kong is not bad".

Therefore, Shen Lang chose a "Flowing Cloud Return to Ruin" obtained from the Tibetan Scripture Palace.

This spell is not a spell that carries the attack hard like the Iron Cloth Shirt, the Golden Bell Jar, and the King Kong Indestructible Body, but a spell that "directs and discharges" the enemy's attack.

It emits a flowing cloud of energy that wraps itself, and when an enemy attack falls on it, it is channeled to the ground beneath its feet and into the void.

Regardless of whether the strength of the martial arts or the attack spell, as long as it does not exceed the defense limit of this technique, it can be guided by the unloading force.

After starting to practice spells, Shen Lang once again deeply realized why the "dual cultivation of law and martial arts" can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people even if it is not a law of heaven and earth, and is deeply regarded by all martial artists and monks, and regarded it as an iron law of cultivation.

Even with such a talent as him, after coming to the Tibetan Scripture Hall for self-cultivation, he has not yet been involved in many doorways such as alchemy, refining, and formations, and is just practicing spells, and he has no time to practice martial arts, and he can only take out one hour a day to meditate and cultivate his internal strength, and he has no time to practice martial arts moves at all.

The average martial artist basically meditates and cultivates all night, meditating instead of sleeping, and practicing martial arts during the day, so as to ensure the continuous progress of martial arts.

If you only practice internal strength for one hour a day, and you don't practice moves at all, then this martial art is really not practiced.

Shen Lang's talent is amazing, originally meditating for an hour, he can beat ordinary martial artists for two or three hours, and with the assistance of "Millennium Chalcedony", the efficiency has been increased by three times, so that there is no delay in the cultivation of internal strength.

As for the martial arts moves......

Anyway, he is a man who advocates simplicity, why do you play so many bells and whistles?

Manhood is to stand on the pile output, fists to the flesh, and hard palms.

Whoever moves is a sissy!

Well, you can learn a seven-rank spell "Lingfei Technique", which can make the monk as light as a feather, and greatly improve the monk's reaction ability, movement speed, and vertical leaping ability, so that the monk's agility is not inferior to the light skill of the five-rank martial artist......

Of course, Shen Lang learned this technique not to dodge in a position during a fight, but to facilitate daily rushing, chasing and killing fleeing enemies, and to prevent the enemy from swimming around and dodging at speed.

In short, his cultivation of spells to improve agility is also to implement the way of Mengnan and better be positive.

Next, Shen Lang stayed in the small single room of the Tibetan Scripture Hall for a whole month.

In other words, why is the natural environment of the Imperial Capital Taoist Academy so good, but there is basically no half of a figure outdoors, from the practice mode of Shen Lang during this time, you can see one or two.

The practice of spells is really addictive.

The students of the Taoist Academy, unless they are so shy that they have no money to practice, and they must come out to work to make money, otherwise if they can still hold on, it is basically the same as Shen Lang, the door is not out, the second door is not stepping, and they have been studying the law for a long time, practicing spells, or participating in the Dan Dao, the instrument Dao, and the formation, and they don't have the heart to wander around at all.

This is not only the case for the students of the Taoist Academy, but also for the monks of the sects, the wealthy families, and the scattered cultivators in the mountains and fields.

Therefore, when Shen Lang is outside, martial artists can encounter it every day, but Taoist monks are rare to see.

The few I met occasionally were still guided by the design of the "man behind the scenes", and they got together.

Originally, Shen Lang had the intention to retreat and cultivate until the New Year.

Mu Qingxue is going back to Beijing during the Chinese New Year, and the Taoist Academy will also have annual leave, of course Shen Lang has to go back to give Mu Qingxue a surprise, and then go to visit Yan Tianying, Wanfa Zhenren, and Fa Liuli, give them a New Year's greeting, and send some small gifts for the New Year.

But an accident interrupted the rhythm of Shen Lang's retreat - Xiao Yu was finally about to be promoted to the third realm.

In other words, since Xiaoya was promoted to the second realm, the emperor slurry produced by the fine pen was given to Xiaoyu for exclusive use in accordance with the principle of first come, first served.

But going from the second realm to the third realm is really much more difficult than the first realm to the second realm.

Even with a large number of young leaves of the fish wood dragon and blood orchid nectar to assist in cultivation, Xiao Yu himself was very diligent in his cultivation, and it took more than two months to show signs of a breakthrough in the realm.

If the small fish wants to break through the realm, Shen Lang will of course have to take a trip to give it enough space to show its new abilities after breaking the realm.

The space of the fine pen is still too small to accommodate the toss of the little demon in the third realm.

Before leaving the customs, Shen Lang comprehensively checked his own state.

The two six-grade spells "Crossing the Man Spell and the Flowing Cloud Returning to the Ruins" have all been cultivated, and the six-grade spells have been completed.

The six seven-rank spells were also fully cultivated.

Nine eight-rank spells, two still missing.

Of the twelve ninth-grade spells, four are also missing.

Because he completes the spell position from high to low, first completes the sixth-grade spells, then completes the seventh-grade spells, then the eighth-rank spells, and finally the ninth-grade turn.

And this month's retreat is really not enough for him to fill all the eighth-rank and ninth-grade spell slots.

However, the spells of the sixth and seventh grades have been cultivated, and the eighth-grade spells have also been cultivated to seven, and they have all been cultivated to the state of "imminent thought", and Shen Lang's spell strength can be regarded as an explosive increase.

In addition, since this month, although he has only cultivated his internal strength for one hour a day, with the assistance of the "Pure Yang Vitality" of the thousand-year-old chalcedony, his internal force cultivation has also improved by leaps and bounds.

Although the realm has not been improved, the total amount of internal force has increased by more than fifty percent compared with before, and the degree of internal force refinement and condensation has doubled.

The physique has also become stronger under the tempering of pure yang vitality.

With his current skills, if he palms Bai Shishi in his heyday, one palm can make her vomit blood and throw away, and her arm will be broken.

The strength of the spell has exploded, and the "Iron Cloth Shirt" has been permanently solidified, and the internal strength is also brave and diligent, with Shen Lang's current comprehensive strength, even if the seven spider sisters are tough at the same time, they have a certain degree of certainty to win the battle.

After examining the results of this month's retreat, Shen Lang nodded with satisfaction, groaned for a while, put on a little makeup, and walked out of the retreat room with dirty clothes that smelled sour, messy hair and mustache, and two big dark circles under his eyes.

By the way, I also took out the scroll of the "Qi Binding Technique".

Well, this nine-rank spell, he didn't have time to cultivate it after all......

When Shen Lang returned the scroll, under the subtle gaze of a Taoist student who worked to earn tuition, he left with fluttering steps, and the student immediately entrusted the mission to his colleagues, and then quickly left the Tibetan Scripture Hall, blessed himself with a nine-grade "Wind Body Technique", and then flew all the way to Zhou Shicheng's residence without touching the ground.

Obviously, this student is the guy who took Zhou Shicheng's money and helped him keep an eye on Shen Lang.

"Senior Brother Zhou, that Shen Lang has left the Tibetan Scripture Palace. I stayed for a whole month and seven days, and I took a 'qi binding technique' from beginning to end. When he came out, he was sour, his eyes were straight, his steps were fluttering, and he looked very bad. But I think I've learned the 'Qi Binding Technique'. ”

"Heh, it took a month and seven days to learn a nine-rank spell ......"

Zhou Shicheng sneered:

"It's a lower-average qualification. With such qualifications, he still has the courage to self-study in the Tibetan Scripture Hall...... Really don't treat money as money! ”

The man laughed at himself:

"Almost every newcomer has this experience, thinking that they are the chosen one. Don't hide it from Senior Brother Zhou, the younger brother has stayed in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for a month, but he is not as addicted to it, at least he eats and sleeps outside. After this experience, the sinking wave should not go to the scripture hall again. ”

Zhou Shicheng nodded, his eyes were subtle, and he said in a fluttering tone:

"Yes, he will never go to the Scripture Hall again......"

gave ten silver dollars and sent the junior brother away, Zhou Shicheng groaned for a while, and also blessed himself with a "wind body technique", and then chose a secluded path and went straight to the gate of the Taoist courtyard.

When Shen Lang came to the gate of the Taoist Academy, ready to retrieve the horse that he had fostered for more than a month, he found that the person who watched the gate today was a different person.

It was an old man of fifty or sixty years old, sitting at the gate and playing with fireballs, like a monk.

Shen Lang stopped by the door, saw the old man playing with a fireball, stepped forward and saluted and asked:

"Hello uncle, may I ask if Deacon Liao Xun Liao is here?"

The old man kept throwing five fireballs in a rapid cycle with both hands, so as to exercise his spell mastery, and he did not delay in speaking:

"The surname Liao is on a shift today, and the little old man is in charge of guarding the door."

"I see. Uncle, what is your surname? ”

"Don't have your surname Zhang, just call me Old Man Zhang."

"How? I'll call you Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang, you have played this 'Lianzhu Fireball' really beautifully. ”

"You kid doesn't look very old, but you can recognize this seven-grade spell?"

"I've been in the hall of the scriptures. Uncle Zhang, are you a seven-rank monk? Disrespectful, disrespectful! ”

In fact, Shen Lang not only turned over, but also cultivated this spell.

This seven-rank spell "Lianzhu Fireball", when it is in the seven-rank realm, it can launch five fireballs at a time. Shen Lang deduced the realm of the porter Uncle Zhang from this.

When the monk reached the six-rank realm, he could shoot seven fireballs at a time.

The higher the realm, the more fireballs are fired, and the more powerful they are.

This spell is just an ordinary road cargo spell, it can't be locked and tracked, and it can only hit a straight line, but the fireball attack speed is extremely fast, and the range is also thirty zhang away.

The power of each fireball is equivalent to a fist-sized cannonball, and it also comes with explosion and burn damage.

With the cultivation of the sixth rank of Shen Lang, if it hits, it will not be a problem for a fireball to kill a fifth-grade monk.

If a string of seven fireballs hits all of them, then the entry-level of the fourth grade, and even the early martial artists of the fourth grade, I am afraid that they can be blasted into scum.

Of course, with the reaction speed of a martial artist and the light body technique, even if it is only a fifth-rank martial artist, if he does not first use control and restraint spells to restrain them, it will be difficult for this kind of spell that goes straight and cannot track and lock the enemy, and it will be difficult to hit them.

Not to mention that the entire string of fireballs all hit the fourth-rank martial artist.

At this moment, in the face of Shen Lang's compliment, Uncle Zhang, the porter, was both proud and a little sad and said:

"What is there to respect? A lot of age is the seventh grade, how can you compare with you Taoist scholars? Okay, don't talk nonsense here, little guy, let's talk about it, what's the matter with the surname Liao? ”

"I fostered a horse here last month, which was handled by Deacon Liao. I want to use it today, and I wanted to find Deacon Liao to get the horse back......"

"Okay, tell me your name, the date of foster care, the location and characteristics of the horse's imprint, and the old man will help you bring the horse."

"Then thank you Uncle Zhang! The boy's surname is Shen, a single wave character, my horse is a black horse, the brand is on the left buttocks, and the imprint style is ......"

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Lang took the reins from Uncle Zhang's hand and thanked him without saying anything:

"Uncle Zhang, thank you so much!"

Old man Zhang waved his hand nonchalantly:

"There's nothing to thank for the responsibility. In addition, except for the scouts and interrogators who convey emergency military information, no one else is allowed to ride a horse in the capital, and can only walk slowly. You kid have to be careful, don't ride your horse wantonly, otherwise if you give it to the patrol of the city patrol division, it will be a shame. ”

"Thank you Uncle for reminding me, I'll pay attention."

Shen Lang turned over and got on the horse, arched his hand to Old Man Zhang, gently clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and drove the horse away slowly.

Leaving the gate of the Taoist Academy, just after turning two streets, I heard a greeting from the side:

"Senior Brother Shen? But Shen Lang Shen's junior brother? ”

Shen Lang followed the prestige, and saw Zhou Shicheng holding a white horse, standing on the side of the road, waving to him.

Shen Lang turned over and dismounted, led the horse over and asked with a smile:

"Why didn't Senior Brother Zhou practice in the Dao Academy?"

"Of course there is." Zhou Shicheng sighed: "I took over a task issued by the professor, I want to go to the Taiyi Mountain in the north of the city to catch ten reckless clams and come back." Senior brother, do you know the reckless Zhu clam? ”

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

Shen Lang nodded:

"I have seen it in the 'Strange Beast Chronicles' of the Tibetan Scripture Hall, which is a kind of toad with a petite body, but its cry is like a cow's roar, and its whole body is red like fire. This thing has no demon magic and has low intelligence, so it is not a demon beast, but it is also quite powerful.

"It's so powerful that it can knock over calves. It is also addicted to poison, and even poisonous snakes that are more than ten times larger can prey on it. It can also spray venom from its mouth like a poisonous snake, with a range of up to a thousand feet, and ordinary people will be killed immediately.

"Even those who are idle and rank three martial artists are respectful of this. If you use it to refine Gu worms, you can refine up to a sixth-grade poisonous Gu, and your ability is against a fifth-grade martial artist. ”

Zhou Shicheng smiled:

"I didn't expect Senior Brother Shen to learn so much in just over a month after entering the Taoist Academy.

"Since the junior brother knows about this strange clam, then the brother will also say it directly, although the reckless Zhu clam is powerful, the lower three rank martial artists are afraid of it, but it is not difficult for our Taoist monks.

"It's just that in the Taiyi Mountain, it has not been very peaceful recently, and there are many horse thieves and bandits, Jiangyang thieves, and it is said that there are wild monks who know magic and bandits. To catch the clams, you need to go deep into the mountains and look for them in the shadows of mountain streams. In that kind of place, it is very likely that there are horse thieves, mountain bandits, and Jiangyang thieves hiding.

"I thought that my brother's cultivation was not afraid of idle thieves and bandits. There are wild cultivators mixed in, how can they be able to compete with serious monks from Taoist monasteries like us?

"Just be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, no matter how vigilant a person is, there will always be times when he loses his mind. I thought that my brother had found a junior brother to accompany him, but I didn't expect that when I was about to leave, that junior brother was arrested by his professor......"

Hearing this, Shen Lang said with a smile:

"Senior Brother Zhou doesn't have to explain so much, Junior Brother understands. Senior brother wants to ask junior brother to accompany you on this trip? ”

Zhou Shicheng sighed and said with a look of shame:

"There's really no way to be a brother. The time for this task is tight, and the students of the Taoist Academy do not go out one by one unless necessary. It's too late for my brother to find a suitable person to accompany him.

"Senior brother, although you have just entered the Taoist Academy, you have not been weak in martial arts, and you have been recommended by Wanfa Zhenren to enter the hospital, so you already have a certain foundation in Taoism. Yes, since I have the fate to meet my junior brother, I have the cheekiness to ask my junior brother to accompany me on this trip! ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand at Shen Lang:

"Senior brother, if this mission can be done beautifully, it is very likely that the professor will appreciate it and become his disciple. This matter is very important to my brother, please help me. After the deed is completed, there will be heavy thanks for my brother! ”

Shen Lang raised his hand to help Zhou Shicheng and sighed:

"Senior Brother Zhou is serious! When I first entered the Taoist Academy a month ago, my senior brother guided me all the way, went out of his way to help me complete all the procedures, and also introduced me to a lot of common knowledge of the Taoist Academy, which helped me avoid a lot of detours. This little brother has always been in my heart.

"Since this task is so important to the senior brother, it is incumbent on the junior brother to accompany you on this journey!"

Zhou Shicheng was overjoyed, and gave Shen Lang another look, then turned over and took Shen Lang to the north gate.

Just walked two streets, still far from the north gate, Shen Lang suddenly patted his head:

"Oh, Senior Brother Zhou, the younger brother forgot his weapon at home. There are horse thieves and bandits in Taiyi Mountain, and there may be fights, so you have to go home first and get your weapons.

"Senior Brother Zhou, the younger brother's house is in 'Xingye Fang', although it is not a smooth road, but there is no need to detour too far. Why don't you accompany my younger brother to my house first, get a weapon and then go out of the city? ”

Zhou Shicheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a forced smile:

"Senior brother, do you use weapons? I thought you were good at freehand kung fu......"

Shen Lang smiled:

"The younger brother has good claw skills, but he is better at weapon kung fu, and the weapon he is best at is the musket, followed by the knife, and then the sword. Bare hands can only be counted as fourth. More than a month ago, because he went to the Taoist Academy to practice, the younger brother thought that the Taoist Academy did not need to use weapons, so he put all the weapons at home. Brother, can you let me go home first? ”

Zhou Shicheng reluctantly nodded:

"It's okay, let's accompany you home to get weapons first."

At that moment, the two turned a corner again and walked in the direction of Xingye Fang in the inner city.
