Chapter 10: The Terrible Spiritual Sense
"My name is worthy of Feng, I used to be active in Liaodong and Liaoxi County in Youzhou, and I received news from Xia Jie a month ago and invited me to come to Chang'an to seek work."
Youzhou is located in the east of the territory of the Han Dynasty, and was originally the location of the Yan State among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.
Fu Feng's body trembled constantly: "I didn't want to come, but Xia Jie's conditions made me unable to refuse."
She has in her hand the way to break through the Lower Nine Realms and achieve heaven and man.
She promised that as long as I came, no matter whether things worked out or not, she would give me the method of cultivation. ”
"The cultivation method of the Heavenly and Human Realm?"
Yao Zhao was responsible for asking, "Which line of cultivation are you?" ”
"What I cultivate is not in the hundred schools, but the road of Yama in the side door, the ghost makes the yin drive a vein, the ancient books contain, practice to Dacheng can enter the underworld in the flesh to be sealed. My strength is more powerful at night, and my cultivation is weakest at noon, so I was captured alive by you.
Xia Jie's cultivation is the ghost soul eating technique, which is the best at influencing demagogic people's hearts and using it for her.
The two of us complement each other's techniques, so she came to Chang'an to cooperate with me. Fu Feng's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his face was as white as paper.
The pain in his head did not diminish in the slightest because of his cooperation.
"For the sake of the cultivation method, you dare to come and assassinate the important ministers of the court." Yao Zhao shouted.
"It's not easy for us to practice, we don't have anything to rely on, and we have to fight for everything with our lives. The cultivation of the heavenly and human levels is a priceless treasure for me. ”
Fu Feng had collapsed to the ground, unable to even maintain his kneeling position, as if in a nightmare.
Song Ran was a little surprised, he couldn't see any action in this Huo waiter, but his means were so powerful.
"How many of you are there?"
"I know no less than twenty people, led by Xia Jie, who are dormant in Chang'an."
Huo Quzhi suddenly asked: "In and out of Chang'an, the investigation is extremely strict. Do you have a testimony when many of you come in and out? ”
The laws and regulations of the Qin and Han dynasties were very perfect, and the inspection and transmission were official citations.
The two are separated, the test is a small wooden plaque, and the noble ones are also made of bronze or jade, with the identity and origin written on it, and the simple appearance characteristics.
'Chuan' is equivalent to a letter of introduction, if you want to go out, you need a certificate issued by the place, signed by the 'village party secretary', mostly written on bamboo or wooden strips, printed, and used for customs clearance.
Don't think that this is easy to counterfeit, you must know that in ancient times, the flow of population was limited, and there were population registers in various places, which were used for inspection, and the two were compared and consistent with each other to be qualified.
Fu Fengdao: "I have seen Xia Jie go out of the city, and it is the official guide of the testimonial. ”
Huo Quzhi groaned secretly after hearing this.
The official introduction of the people under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, if Xia Jie has it alone, if she has all the people under her, what is behind this matter...... It's worth thinking about.
At this time, Song Ran also asked: "The method of breaking into the realm of heaven and man, whether it is the side door of the left path or the hundred schools of the nine streams, each door is a secret that is not passed on, then Xia Jie said that there is a inheritance of the realm of heaven and man, do you believe it?" ”
Fu Feng's body began to tremble violently, almost prostrating:
"When Xia Jie sent me a letter, she also brought a Dan Fang, I have been practicing Yin Technique for a long time, and when I saw Dan Yi, I knew that it would be of great benefit to me, and the content was true, so I agreed to come to Chang'an."
Most of the cultivators need bait to assist.
The so-called bait is the technique of Taoism or farmer's danding, taking the corresponding pill to speed up the cultivation and stabilize the realm.
For some factions, a breakthrough requires a specific elixir to advance.
Fu Feng said that he decided to come to Chang'an after seeing Dan Fang, which was logical.
"That's all he knows, we'll go back to the city now."
Huo Quzhi has already seen through the details of Fu Feng's spiritual pressure through Teng Snake's spirit.
Knowing that there would be no more to be gained by asking, he got up and walked out.
"Is this man kept or beheaded?" Yao Zhao asked on the side.
"Keep it first, catch Xia Jie, and use it to confess." Huo Quai's footsteps did not stop.
Xia Jie did not flee far away, but returned to Chang'an, and more importantly, with the real meaning of the Fateng Snake, there is no longer any need to use her to lure out the people behind it.
Huo Quzhi was sure to let her say it herself.
So it was decided to close the net and capture Xia Jie.
————
It was nearly dusk.
East of Chang'an City.
There are twelve branches of the two academies under the jurisdiction of the secret detective, and Xiao Ying is the deputy general of the scout who is responsible for tracking and exploring.
He was crouching on top of a building, staring at a small courtyard in front of him.
If he hadn't gone out to track him personally, the ordinary spies would have been thrown away by the woman.
It is located in the southeast corner of the city, with narrow lanes and a complex environment.
"There are a lot of decorations, and there is a house with a secret passage hidden here...... If you follow here, you think you have found her hiding place, and she runs away in vain. ”
Xiao Ying thought in his heart, his body swayed slightly, and he quietly lost his trace.
A quarter of an hour later, he stood in a dark alley in the east of Chang'an City, his face solemn.
After Xia Jie took advantage of the empty yard to get out, she came to a long street with many pedestrians.
Xiao Ying received an order to follow secretly, and he would rather lose it than let Xia Jie find out, so he didn't dare to follow too closely.
Coupled with the fact that there are too many people on the street and the smell is mixed, it is the most unfavorable environment for tracking.
He found that he seemed to have really lost Xia Jie.
But Xiao Ying didn't panic at all.
He is proficient in yin and yang, and is good at stargazing, divination, and metaphysical tracking methods. Immediately take out a piece of bamboo, and write in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and north.
"Unless you can disrupt the heavens, you can't escape my tracking."
Xiao Ying bit his index finger and wrote several incantations in the center of the bamboo piece.
In a moment, the bamboo piece began to spin in the palm of his hand, and one of the corners was faintly pointing south.
Xiao should follow the bamboo sign and track it again.
It wasn't until half an hour later, when the sun was setting, that Xiao Ying met with Huo Qubing and others who had returned to the city.
"Huo Shizhong." Xiao should bow down.
"Where's the person?" Huo Qu's sick side Yao asked.
"The woman walked around when she returned to the city, and is now located in a fang market a hundred zhang away...... Hey! ”
Xiao Ying's voice did not fall, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.
The bamboo card in his hand began to rotate continuously without direction, as if it was disturbed by some kind of force, and there was chaos.
"My tracing and identification technique is based on the hexagram diagram in Yin-Yang Technique, which coincides with astrological divination, and I have never missed a mistake. Obviously he had been tracking the direction of the target before......" Xiao Ying's face turned slightly pale.
The hexagram is the foundation, and the astrological divination is conjunct...... That's fortune telling, and I dare to say that I never miss a mistake...... Huo Quzhi looked at Xiao Ying.
At the most critical moment, Xia Jie's position was lost.
Xiao Ying couldn't accept it a little, and was inexplicably embarrassed.
Everyone was in a secluded alley with no one at the moment, and it was close to the time of sunset.
When he returned from the barracks outside the city, he was accompanied by a captain of security guards, a total of more than 30 people.
Huo Quzhi took a light breath.
The cultivation of the Truth Meaning Dharma Teng Snake is extremely subtle and ever-changing in the use of power at the level of the divine soul.
When he merged his consciousness with the serpent and spread out like mercury, his perception was infinitely elevated, and he once again entered the level that seemed to be beyond the real world.
The sense of touch of the divine soul, or primordial spirit, has become extremely acute.
It is not without intersection between Huo Quzhi and Xia Jie.
The accomplice who killed Liu Huai, the lieutenant of the Northern Army, the urn jar that was found from under the bed, the urn spirit breath hidden inside came from Xia Jie.
Later, when she met with Fu Feng, she said that she was almost tracked down by Huo Quzhi and felt herself.
In fact, she had already been captured by the Teng Snake at that time.
Now, as his perception climbs, an indescribable feeling comes to Huo Quai's heart.
He seemed to see Xia Jie through the eyes of the snake.
A bird's-eye view captures Xia Jie changing her costume and walking into a large-scale mansion......
Or that terrible aura...... Song Ran peeked at Huo Qubing on the side, she could feel that Huo Qubing was urging some kind of force, similar to the aura when she asked Fu Feng just now.
"Follow me."
Huo Quzhi walked out of the alley and headed south.
It was getting dark.
Surrounded by everyone, Huo Quzhi followed the perception of the soul level all the way to Nancheng, and finally slowly stopped outside a mansion:
"This is ...... here"
