Chapter 1182: Yue Luan's Chance, the First Layer of Demon Punishment
Yue Luan's mind moved slightly, and he touched the jade pendant.
In the next moment, hundreds of thousands of messages emerged from the jade pendant, manifesting in her mind as the appearance of a classic scroll, like a sky full of stars for her to read.
I saw that these classics were marked with many information such as type, grade, cultivation difficulty, power effect, and spirit stones required for exchange, and the content was even richer and more complex, all-encompassing, involving all aspects of cultivation, which was dazzling and difficult to follow for a while!
"Patriarch...... Apparitions? ”
Yue Luan's body stiffened, his eyes were round, and his eyes were full of surprise and doubt.
Her lips were slightly open, her breathing was rapid and violent, and her cheeks flushed as if she were drunk.
It took a long time for her to calm down, and her expression became hesitant.
This jade pendant that carried the Dao appeared in her mind after killing the heart demon, no matter how she thought about it, she felt extremely weird.
Yue Luan grew up listening to the ghosts and monsters told by his master, and he knew that there was no benefit in the world for no reason, but it was likely to be a trap for taking his life.
In particular, the more powerful the ghost, the more incredible the supernatural means......
Yue Luan was a little suspicious now, and the Dao Jade Pendant that appeared in her heart could also be a ghost trick used by a powerful ghost to harm people.
But what made her puzzled was that the jade pendant did not make her feel uncomfortable with the ghost aura, but instead appeared gentle and neutral, full of reassuring immortal charm, and even under the nourishment of this aura, her spirit that had just been exhausted by slaying the heart demon gradually recovered at a far faster speed than usual.
After struggling for a long time, Yue Luan finally decided to follow his inner instincts.
She believed in her heart that this Dao-carrying jade pendant was an opportunity given to her by the ancestor manifestation, rather than a treacherous method used by some ghost to harm her.
After all, she was just a mid-forging monk.
"Using her inner demons to send the Dao Jade Pendant into her mind" is really a bit incredible.
If it is done by a certain ghost thing, then the cultivation realm of this ghost thing may have surpassed the legendary ghost emperor, and it can set foot on the Miaoqing Temple and even the entire Taiping City with a single move, and even the great monk in the main altar of the Xuanmen cannot be its opponent.
A powerful ghost of this level wanted to kill her, there were many ways, so why bother?
After convincing himself, Yue Luan once again cast his mind on the jade pendant of the Dao Dao.
"The classics and experiences of the Dan Fu Array and other arts, let's not consider it for the time being, learning a skill is too time-consuming and resource-intensive." Yue Luan looked at the classics arranged in order, and secretly pondered in his heart.
There is an ancestral talisman scroll in Miaoqingguan, which records the refining method called "blinding talisman", including the detailed explanation of the rune pattern, the production of rune paper, and the blending of spiritual ink.
The blindfold is a third-grade talisman that can threaten second-order peak ghosts, but it is extremely difficult to refine it.
Yue Luan's master, that is, Zheng Xuansu, the previous generation of Guan Master, spent a lifetime of hard work and countless materials to improve the attainment of the rune to the second grade, and she could barely refine the eye-covering talisman, but she also drew three eye-covering talismans in her life, and all the other talismans failed to be refined, wasting a lot of valuable talisman paper and spiritual ink in vain.
Later, when her master was doing something, he was injured by a powerful demon, and he was forced to sell the blindfold talisman scroll to the Imperial Ghost Temple, and he was also burdened with a huge debt, but even so, he still failed to heal the injuries left by the evil ghost, and finally died.
If his master draws the first and second grade talismans in a down-to-earth manner, and does not refine the blind-covering talisman, he can save a large amount of materials, and maybe he can buy a higher-level elixir to cure the situation.
Yue Luan only knew a little about talismans, and he wasn't even a talisman maker.
And if she wants to repay the debt of Miao Qingguan, she must at least become a first-grade talisman maker first, but she has to invest a lot of time and materials in the early stage of studying the Dan talisman array.
The creditors wouldn't wait for her, and she only had a used low-grade spirit stone left on her, and she couldn't even afford rune paper and spirit ink, so after thinking about it for a while, she gave up the idea of exchanging rune classics!
It was as if she had sensed Yue Luan's thoughts, and after she had this thought, the Dan Fu Array and other hundred art classics had dimmed, leaving only the classics of the martial arts and immortals.
But even so, these classics are still as vast as a sea of smoke, so Yue Luan doesn't know where to start.
Perceiving that the jade pendant seemed to possess spirituality, Yue Luan said tentatively, "I only have a spirit stone in my hand. Can you choose a suitable martial art for me that will allow me to slay ghosts that are stronger than me? ”
As soon as the words fell, a large number of exercise books dimmed one after another, leaving only an immortal law book called "Senluo Sword Codex", and this classic quickly dimmed, and finally only a thin piece of paper appeared in Yue Luan's mind.
"The first layer of the Demon Sword Style?"
Yue Luan checked the information left on the paper and found that this was a sword style in the entire kendo exercises, and it was also split into twelve layers.
However, just the first layer of this sword style is much more advanced than the ancestral "Ghost Slaying Technique" of Miaoqingguan!
Yue Luan hadn't redeemed this sword move yet, so she couldn't check the specific content of it, but she had a strong premonition in her heart that if she could cultivate it skillfully, she would even be able to fight with a first-order peak ghost.
What's more, this "Demon Destroying Sword Style First Layer" only needs half a low-grade spirit stone to be exchanged, and if you don't want to consume spirit stones, you can also exchange it for the same amount of spiritual power.
Yue Luan is just a five-fold heaven cultivator in the forging body realm, he has not yet condensed the sea of qi, and the spiritual power in his body is pitiful, and it is all hidden between the limbs and hundreds of bones, and the five internal organs, if he uses his spiritual power to exchange this sword move, I am afraid that the next few days will have to be spent in bed!
Although she was reluctant in her heart, she still took out the spirit stone that she had promoted, and her heart touched the jade pendant of Zaidao.
In the next moment, a gentle aura bloomed on the jade pendant.
The spiritual light did not shine out of Yue Luan's mind and appeared in the world, but the spiritual stone in her hand seemed to have been absorbed when she was used for cultivation, and a trace of spiritual energy was forcibly extracted and disappeared out of thin air.
This spirit stone has been used before, and only seventy percent of the aura is left, and now it has been taken away by the Dao Jade Pei, and it immediately became gray, and it no longer has the previous crystal luster.
At the same time, the cultivation method of the "First Layer of the Demon Sword Style" surged into Yue Luan's heart.
After a long time, Yue Luan opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of surprise!
Her previous hunch was not wrong, the power of this Demon Slayer Sword was terrifyingly strong, and it had an additional damage bonus against the likes of ghosts.
"If I can master this Demon Killing Sword Style, even if it is only the first layer, I can easily kill the first-order late-stage demons. Buy a few more pills that replenish spiritual power, and the ghosts at the peak of the first order can also be killed. ”
Yue Luan's eyes bloomed with unprecedented brilliance.
This is only the first layer of the Demon Sword Style, and the whole sword style is divided into twelve layers, one layer is more profound than the other, and one layer is stronger than the other.
If she had enough spirit stones or spiritual power, she could completely exchange the entire "Senluo Sword Codex", as well as other cultivation techniques and immortal martial arts that were not inferior to this method, which would allow her to climb to heights that she had never imagined before!
For a time, the haze brought about by the embarrassing status quo was almost swept away.
Immediately, Yue Luan grabbed the Xuan-level low-grade peachwood sword, walked out of the main hall of Miaoqingguan, and practiced the first layer of the Demon Punishment Sword Style on the flat ground outside the hall!
Even if she was given a complete Demon Punishment Sword Style, Yue Luan would not be able to use it, the consumption of spiritual power was too great, at least she had to cultivate to the Yuan Dan Realm before she could try to cut out a sword.
However, after being split, this sword move not only became easy to learn, but also greatly reduced the consumption of spiritual power, even if Yue Luan was just a Forging Body Realm monk who had just stepped on the immortal path, he could cut out several swords with all his might.
But if you just cut this sword, you will only have its form but not its god, and you will not be able to fully exert its power.
It is also necessary to make the sword person have an unswerving faith, that is, the idea of "slaying demons and destroying demons", and only by pouring this belief into the sword moves can he have the terrifying power of ghosts and gods!
Yue Luan grew up in a world infested with ghosts since she was a child, and heard her master Zheng Xuansu talk about all kinds of human tragedies caused by ghosts, and her master also died because of serious injuries caused by fighting evil ghosts, and her belief in killing ghosts was firmer than most monks.
Because of this, Yue Luan's cultivation of the "Demon Sword Style First Layer" was very fast, and in a few days, he reached the realm of "entry" and began to move towards the realm of "Xiaocheng".
For more than 20 days, she has been practicing swords in Miaoqing Temple, without leaving the Taoist Academy for half a step.
It wasn't until all the remaining rice and grain in the temple were exhausted that she stopped practicing and prepared to go out to earn some money so that she could buy some food to satisfy her stomach and pay the interest on her debt for the month.
Yue Luan opened the iron box hanging at the entrance of the Taoist courtyard, took out eight pieces of paper from it, and then returned to the main hall.
These notes, known as the Ghost Book, recorded information about the ghosts that haunted the city and the surrounding rural areas, as well as the corresponding ritual tasks.
This set of mechanisms is an information transmission channel specially funded by the Xuanmen General Altar in order to facilitate the world's Taoist institutes to better kill demons and eliminate ghosts.
Otherwise, with the embarrassing situation of Miao Qingguan and Yue Luan, this intelligence channel could only be stopped.
The information recorded in the first seven pieces of paper had expired, and Yue Luan only skimmed through it cursoly, then picked up the latest ghost book and read it carefully.
"There are evil ghosts in Jing'anfang?"
One of the pieces of information quickly caught Yue Luan's attention.
Taiping City is a city where immortals live together, covering a large area, the city contains more than 10 million immortals, and the whole city is divided into more than 10 square markets, Jing'an Fang alone has a population of nearly one million.
Therefore, even though Miaoqingguan was located in Jing'an Fang, Yue Luan did not hear the relevant rumors.
Of course, this has something to do with the fact that she has been closed for most of the month, otherwise she would always hear some rumors from neighbors and peddlers when she walks around outside.
There is not a lot of information recorded in the ghost book, Yue Luan quickly read it, and compared the previous few notes, she sorted out the context of the matter.
Twelve days ago, the demons first haunted the house of the butcher Li Heijiang.
At that time, not long after Li Heijiang's mother died, the Li family still had a mourning hall, in order to prevent the deceased from turning into ghosts, Li Heijiang also spent a lot of money and food, and invited Taoist priests and Taoist aunts from other Taoist institutes to do the ritual excess.
But the accident still happened, on the third night of Li's mother's death, the Li family had evil ghosts, killing Li Heijiang's husband and wife and three children, a total of five people, and eating their hearts and livers!
The neighbors of the Li family fell into a panic, and scraped together a sum of money and food to ask for the Imperial Ghost Temple, because Jing'an Fang lived in poor families, and the money and food were not very rich, although the Imperial Ghost Temple took this ceremony, but did not take it too seriously, and only sent a Forging Body Realm Quadruple Heaven disciple to deal with it.
Because the Imperial Ghost View believes that the evil ghost that is haunting is the embodiment of Li Heijiang's deceased mother.
And it stands to reason that the strength of the ghosts transformed by the newly dead is limited, most of them are in the early stage of the first order, and the strongest is only in the middle of the first order, and it is more than enough to send a fourfold disciple of the forging body to deal with it!
As a result, the Imperial Ghost Guan disciple never returned, and the Imperial Ghost Guan sent someone to visit the Li family again and retrieved the corpse left over from the eating of this disciple, but did not find the man-eating ghost, so he returned the money and food raised by the Li family's neighbors, and then reported it to the branch of the Xuanmen General Altar in Taiping City according to the process.
So far, the Li family's evil ghost cannibalism incident has been recorded in the ghost book for the first time.
After that, monks from other monasteries went to Li's house one after another to find the whereabouts of the evil ghosts, but they all found nothing!
"It's a good pay. If you can successfully kill this evil ghost, you may be able to harvest a spirit, and after leaving a month's worth of use, you can also pay off part of the debt and interest. Yue Luan couldn't help but feel a little moved.
It's just that, according to the information recorded in the ghost book, this evil ghost who killed the five members of the Li family and the disciples of the Imperial Ghost View is very likely to have the strength of the late first order.
The subsequent ghost monk who entered the Li family, although he did not find this evil ghost, but with the help of the talisman, he detected the ghost qi left over from it, and deduced that it was an old ghost, not the transformation of Li Heijiang's deceased mother, and the cultivation realm also exceeded the middle stage of the first order.
After thinking about it for a while, Yue Luan decided to take over this Dharma task.
If she had been killed more than half a month ago, she would not have challenged an old ghost with late-stage first-order strength, but after cultivating the First Layer of the Demon Sword Style, she was confident that she could easily kill a ghost in this realm.
What's more, the military steward who is full of bad water is about to come to the door to collect debts again.
Yue Luan wanted to earn a sum of money and food as soon as possible and pay off the debts of the military manager, so as not to cause any trouble after being in arrears for a long time.
Subsequently, she cooked with the only remaining rice grain, ate a beautiful meal, bathed and changed clothes, and incense the tablets of the ancestors of Miaoqingguan and her master Zheng Xuansu.
After doing this, Yue Luan took the utensils and peach wood sword needed for the ritual, locked the gate of Miaoqingguan, and strode towards Li Heijiang's house.
