Chapter 122: Seeking Fragrance in the Dust
"The memory is still very fragmentary, and I still can't remember a lot of things!" Yuan Ming shook his aching head and muttered to himself a little bitterly.
This possession, triggered by the burning of incense burners, stimulated his lost memories and reminded him of something relatively recent.
Yuan Ming felt that as long as he could possess Wang Shun again and let him return to that general's mansion, he might be able to retrieve all his memories and even remember the information of the person who framed him.
It's just that judging from the first time he possessed the little emperor and the second time he possessed the horseman Wang Shun, the object of the possession seems to be random, and whether he can possess Wang Shun again is still a matter of two words.
However, judging from the information revealed in the conversation with the round-faced man, the two have one thing in common, they are both people that Yuan Ming knows, if you think about it further, the two seem to have a good relationship with Yuan Ming, Yuan Ming was the companion of the little emperor, and the groom is very concerned about Yuan Ming's safety, and the relationship must not be bad.
"Could it be that the object of this possession can only be someone you know or are close to?" Yuan Ming thought secretly in his heart.
From the perspective of harvest, the first time I was still in the 100,000 mountains, facing the moment of survival when I couldn't cultivate mana, I was in danger of dying, and the nine-yuan recipe I obtained solved the urgent need, and it also became an important reliance for today's cultivation, as for the second time, the horseman...... It doesn't seem to have much substantive gain, if you really want to count, it's to know some clues related to your own life experience.
"Maybe the object of possession has something to do with what you think and think?" Yuan Ming's mind turned, and he thought of a possibility.
All of this was just his initial guess, after all, he had only tried twice before and after.
However, he believes that the third possession may allow him to explore more rules.
This made him inexplicably excited, and when he thought of the next possession, he felt that his heart was hot, and he was really itchy!
As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Ming didn't care about anything else, and immediately took out a spirit stone and held it in his hand, running the Nine Yuan Formula, and recovering his mana.
Half a day later, Yuan Ming's mana recovered, and he kept crossing the mana into the incense burner.
However, just when his mana was about to run out, he suddenly found that the incense burner had begun to reject his mana, and no matter how he tried, the subsequent mana could no longer be crossed into it.
At this time, only part of the Tai Chi pattern on the incense burner was lit up, and it looked almost one-seventh of the entire pattern.
"That's the upper limit of mana infusion? Can't you follow up by infusing mana to light up the Tai Chi pattern? Yuan Ming had a lot of speculation in his mind, but he could only give up for now.
Fortunately, the next day, when Yuan Ming tried to pour mana again, he found that the incense burner had absorbed his mana again.
It's just that just like the day before, it is still only about one-seventh of the Tai Chi pattern that can be lit up, and Yuan Ming's mana will begin to be repulsed, which also means that it will take at least seven days to make all the Tai Chi patterns light up by relying on mana infusion.
At the same time, it also means that after another five days, Yuan Ming will be able to possess the body again.
After Yuan Ming confirmed the matter, he looked at the last black incense left in the incense burner and fell into deep thought.
He only had this last incense left, and once he used it, he lost the opportunity to continue to possess him, and at the moment, Yuan Ming still hadn't figured out the operation mechanism of this possession, and he couldn't guarantee that he could get the answer he wanted once he possessed it.
So, he decided to get more black incense before continuing to light it.
The next day, early in the morning.
Yuan Ming came to the Green Worm Hall early.
When a young deacon disciple saw this, he immediately greeted him.
"Senior brother, I want to buy some incense." Yuan Ming got straight to the point and said.
"Incense? Is it a spice used to calm the mind and assist in spiritual practice? The young deacon was stunned and asked with some uncertainty.
"No, I just want ordinary incense...... It is the incense that is burned at the time of the offering. Yuan Ming explained.
The young deacon stared at Yuan Ming for a long time, and after confirming that he was not joking with himself, he shook his head and said:
"Our sect doesn't worship gods, and there has never been incense for sale, if senior brother wants to buy it, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the countryside outside to have a look."
"Can you show me the spices that my brother mentioned?" Yuan Ming thought about it and said.
"Wait a minute."
After the young deacon greeted him, he quickly returned with a round wooden box the size of a palm.
"This is Ning Xin Xiang, when you meditate and cultivate, you can concentrate and purify your mind and improve your concentration." The young deacon opened the wooden box as he spoke.
Yuan Ming saw that there was a layer of dark red powder inside, and there was a faint smell of sandalwood in it.
He sighed and left directly.
This thing is too far from the incense he wants.
In the sect, if there is something that the Qingfu Hall does not have, it is even more impossible for other halls to buy it.
Coming out of the Green Worm Hall, Yuan Ming had the idea of leaving the sect and going outside, after all, he didn't find a clue about this matter for a day, and he was a little uneasy.
He returned to the Fire Refining Hall, went straight to the Fire Workshop, and met Senior Brother Fangge.
"You've only been in the business for a long time, why do you have to travel?" Fang Ge was a little surprised.
In Biluo Cave, it is not uncommon for disciples and elders to go out to travel, but most of them have practiced for many years and have not made progress, so they will travel for a period of time, calm their minds, and look for opportunities to break through the realm.
But like Yuan Ming, it is rare to plan to travel after less than a year of entry.
"Senior brother knows me, although the beginner time is not long, but the cultivation is quite diligent. I've been a little tired lately, and I want to go out and travel for a while, maybe after I return, my cultivation and mood can grow. Yuan Ming's voice was a little low, and the expression on his face was quite sincere.
"That's not bad. How long you plan to go out must be recorded. Fang said.
When Yuan Ming heard this, he hesitated slightly, and he didn't think about how long he wanted to go out for a while.
After all, the black incense is still a little different from the ordinary incense, and he can't say when he can find it.
"Let me tell you this, there are no special circumstances, the registered disciples of the Qi refining period must not travel for more than three months, and those who do not return within the time limit will be removed from the sect, and will be regarded as a defection, and will be ordered by the Law and Regulations Hall to offer a reward, regardless of life and death." Senior Brother Fang Ge glanced at Yuan Ming, and his face became a little serious.
"It's not easy to have a sect to rely on, who would be so stupid to defect from the sect and go to do the loose cultivation that has eaten the last meal but not the next? I took a three-month leave and traveled. Yuan Ming laughed, but he couldn't help but think of the Central Plains monk "Ma Xingkong" who was rewarded with a thousand contribution points on the stone tablet of the Xingzhitang.
"Yes. However, it should be explained in advance that during the travel period, the monthly salary given by the sect will be suspended, and it will not continue to be distributed until you return. Senior Brother Fang Ge nodded and said.
"This is the way it should be."
"In addition, after going out, you must remember that when walking in the mundane world and dealing with ordinary people, you must not abuse your mana, let alone kill mortals indiscriminately." Fang Ge admonished.
"Will there be any consequences?" Yuan Ming asked.
The reason why he asked this question was not because he was afraid that he would have to take risks if he did this in the future, but because he thought of what the Beast Slave Hall had done before, he always felt a little contradictory to what Senior Brother Fang Ge said.
"Whether it is a layman or a cultivator, after all, it is impossible to be completely separated from each other when they coexist in the same heaven and earth. In fact, most of the mortal worlds are in the sphere of influence of different immortal cultivation sects, and indiscriminate killing of mortals at will is sometimes regarded as a provocation to the immortal cultivation sect, which will cause unnecessary trouble. Fang said.
When Yuan Ming heard this, he realized that even ordinary people lived in the territory of the immortal cultivation forces.
But thinking about it this way, does it mean that the Beast Slave Hall was doing evil on its own territory before, whether it was hunting savages or slaughtering villages?
Thinking of this, Yuan Ming couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of disgust in his heart.
"The reason why I am telling you this is more because I hope that you can be self-disciplined and don't do that indiscriminate killing of innocent people." Senior Brother Fang spoke again and admonished.
Obviously, he also knew that this kind of restraint was not strong, and it depended more on the monk's introspection and self-discipline.
"Yuan Ming remembers the teachings of his senior brother." Yuan Ming hugged his fists.
"By the way, when you go to the mortal world, everything is inseparable from money, remember to go to the Green Worm Hall to exchange some silver coins and bring it." Seeing this, Senior Brother Fang Ge nodded in satisfaction, and then admonished.
After Yuan Ming nodded in response, he said goodbye and left.
He went back to make all the preparations, and wanted to tell the silver cat, but he couldn't find the other party.
So, he left a note on the table in the window, wrote "Go out and travel, return in three months", and left Biluo Cave directly.
……
A few days later.
A man in a green robe, riding a black horse, walked slowly on a mountain path.
His face is delicate and handsome, he looks quite young, but his face does not show immaturity, it is Yuan Ming who has left the sect.
At this moment, he sat upright on the horse's back, gently pulling the reins with both hands, his eyes slightly closed, as if he let the horse lead him forward, but every time he reached a fork in the road, or the horse walked out of the mountain road, he would gently pull the reins and adjust the direction.
Above his head, a black saxon raven flew over the mountains and forests, its eyes swept around with alertness.
The reason why Yuan Ming doesn't have to look at the road is precisely because he has the vision of a raven.
The other two ravens have also been released by him, one is to explore the way, and the other is to exercise his ability to control three ravens at the same time and see three visions.
In fact, this is also a kind of cultivation, the cultivation of one's soul cultivation ability and control ability.
Soon, one of the ravens found a village built in the valley with about 378 families, all of which were balustrade-like bamboo huts and wooden buildings.
Yuan Ming's spirit lifted slightly and opened his eyes.
This is already the largest village he has encountered in the past few days.
