Chapter 9: Encounters
In the main hall of the Golden Dart Martial Arts Hall, Zhao Chen, who had successfully "entered the quiet", shared his experience of "entering the quiet" with his master and senior brother, and saw that Huang Xianjun seemed to be in a good mood, so he asked tentatively:
"Master, can spells only be used by masters in the 'mana' realm?"
He wanted to find out what level of cultivation Fang Xuazi had cursed the original owner to death.
"Serious spells can indeed be cultivated only with the realm of 'mana', but some superficial spells are even the best of the gods and goddesses, but the latter kind of spells are difficult to practice and easy to break, and there are many taboos, most of which can be broken with black dog blood and child urine, which is worthless." Speaking of this, Huang Xianjun glanced at Zhao Chen, as if he was afraid that this apprentice would go down the evil path, and continued, "You just want to ask about the 'golden dart' spell I used in the martial arts competition, right?" But my situation is different.
"At the beginning, the teacher was also the leading figure in the 'Yu Wang Sect', and he condensed more than ten natal spells at a young age, and the 'Golden Dart' was only the most inconspicuous and the most powerful one.
"But after making a big mistake for the teacher and being abolished and expelled from the division, the only thing that can still be used is this 'golden dart' spell.
"But even so, with the current body urging the 'spell', you have to pay a lot of price for the teacher, which is also the reason why the teacher was defeated in the end.
"The spells that were once seriously cultivated are still like this, not to mention those spells that rely on all kinds of external objects to forcibly cast!
"Once the taboo is broken...... Oh, the so-called 'taboo' is a number of situations that need to be avoided when forcibly cultivating the spell, some of which require the user not to eat beef and mutton, others that require that the user must be soaked in the sea all year round, and so on...... And once the taboo is broken, or if it is counterattacked, the caster's immediate death is light...... You might even turn into a monster or an evil spirit! ”
"Monsters? Evil? Zhao Chen was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect the sequelae of the failed spell to be so big.
"Because the source of many spells is likely to come from evil demons, after breaking the taboo or encountering backlash, the magic will devour the master in reverse and transform into evil demons...... As for what demons are, that's not what you should know by now. After a pause, Huang Xianjun Pavilion Master solemnly emphasized again, "In short, before the Mana Realm, it's best not to touch the spell!" Isn't it bad to use a firearm if you need to fight? That power is much stronger than the half-hung man's spell. ”
Indeed, firearms can be considered powerful ranged attack "spells"! Although he agreed very much in his heart, Zhao Chen still pretended not to give up and asked:
"Aren't there any exceptions? Is there really a spell that can be used without true qi or refining skills? ”
"Of course, there are exceptions, and there are some spell-like abilities, or 'abilities', that are not as powerful as serious spells, but there are really no restrictions on how they can be used...... In reality, though, it can be much more expensive than taboos! Speaking of this, Huang Xianjun rarely raised his face and sneered.
Seeing that the master's emotions seemed to be a little wrong, Zhao Chen didn't ask again, but changed the topic and talked about some difficulties encountered by the original master when practicing the "Taiyi Five Elements Fist", and as a result, he got the guidance of the master and the senior brother one by one.
After the problem was solved, and the master also picked up the teacup, Zhao Chen took the initiative to say goodbye, went to the door and listened to the gossip of the little guy Fengqu, and left the martial arts hall.
The third senior brother, Feng Cang, sent the junior brother all the way to the door of the martial arts hall, and then reflexively returned to the main hall, and said to the master suspiciously: "Master, is it really necessary to give such a precious method to the junior brother?" With your strength, it should be fairly easy to avoid the sight and go to the county town alone, and as long as you are okay, the Sand Snake Gang will not dare to do anything to me and my juniors......
"Now there is an extra firearm team to escort it, which seems to be stable, but the goal is bigger."
Huang Xianjun took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "If I didn't use the 'Golden Dart' in the previous competition, then what you said is indeed right...... But with this useless body to force the use of natal spells, it will inevitably damage my qi, although it will not take long to recover, but I am afraid that the luck in the last half month will be very bad...... That's why I have to use the power of your little brother's family to escort me.
"Left and right is just a widely spread secret book, and the valuable thing is my own 'translation annotation', which is nothing to give him, and the sincerity of the cooperation between the two in the future.
"However, this junior brother of yours is extremely talented, and he is likely to go to the spell realm in the future. That's why I mentioned a few more words to him, les1 he go down the wrong path. ”
"......I see," Feng Cang was stunned, and then said with a smile, "Master, I thought you would introduce the little junior brother to the 'Yu Wang Sect'." ”
"I, 'Yuwang Sect', don't lack one or two cultivation seeds, so there's no need to be too diligent......
"And I've just mentioned it so many times, if he wants to go, he will naturally go...... And I won't introduce more people to join the sect! Saying that, Huang Xianjun's face became gloomy again.
Seeing this, Feng Cang, although he didn't know the reason, he also knew that he shouldn't continue the topic, so he turned to something else: "Master, we are not merchants, in fact, you don't need to accept the 'trade route' to Dunhuang...... And if this compensation is not accepted, it is unlikely that the Sand Snake Gang's proposal to force us to leave the two towns and one township will be passed. ”
"I know...... But I vaguely feel that there is something wrong with the atmosphere in the town, and it is likely that staying any longer will not be good for me, plus the gas number has been at a low point recently, so it is better to leave with the trend. Huang Xianjun said solemnly.
……
On the other side, Zhao Chen, who left the martial arts hall, did not go home immediately, but wandered around the street, familiar with the customs of this world, and casually said to the little guy next to him: "Fengqu, I remember you said yesterday that there is a 'chicken thief' who specializes in stealing roosters in the east of the town?" ”
He had read the fragments of the "Curse of Jairus" in the redemption list and the introduction of the low-level version of the "Soul Destroying Curse", and knew that the taboo of this spell was not to listen to the rooster crow.
The so-called "chicken thief" is likely to be Fang Xuzi.
Seeing his son-in-law asking, Fengqu chick nodded like a peck of rice: "Yes, there are not many people who raise roosters in the east of the town, but they have been stolen one after another in recent months...... The case has not yet been solved.
"The catchers in the town are dying of sorrow."
From this point of view, that Fang Xuzi is indeed not a serious "mana" realm master, and now that he has lost half of his soul, he should have gone crazy or died......
If it becomes the monster that the master said, nearly ten hours have passed since last night, and I am afraid that it will be discovered long ago.
Thinking so in his heart, Zhao Chen asked Fengqu, "Do you know which one lost the chicken first?" ”
"I know, it's the backyard of Chunying's landlord's house......" Feng Qu replied at first, but then reacted and said in surprise, "Second young master, do you want to check the 'chicken thief'?" ”
"Take me to Chunying Tower." Zhao Chen commanded directly.
Feng Qu didn't move, he just looked at his Young Master Chen strangely, and asked with certainty: "Second Young Master, are you really going to investigate the case?" ”
"What? What's the problem? Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows, sensing that Fengqu's tone seemed to be a little wrong.
"Chunying Building is just down the street next door...... But, but it's a green building there, if Madame knows that I take you to that kind of place, I'm afraid she will kill me! Wind stammered in reply.
Green House ...... The living standards of the residents of Ice Spring are even better than I imagined! Zhao Chen sighed a few times, even if he didn't know much about this world, he also knew that entertainment places like this must be opened in prosperous areas, after all, keeping warm can only think about that.
No wonder the two towns and one township in the area of Bingquan, Chijin and Jinwan are headed by Bingquan Town!
After sighing in his heart for a while, Zhao Chen also gave up the idea of going to Chunying Tower to have a look.
The reason why he insisted at the beginning was just to have a defensible reason when he reported Aunt Mei to his cheap father - even if he wanted to make up nonsense, he had to do a field investigation first, right? It's not like you're really going to catch that demon by yourself.
As a graduate student in archaeology, he was adventurous, but he was by no means reckless.
However, just as Zhao Chen was about to find another reason, there was a sudden commotion on the street, and screams and cries were heard for a while.
Zhao Chen followed the prestige, and then met the four eyes full of hatred.
