Chapter 13: Demonic Exercises
Li Zhen looked at the man who spoke.
He seems to be a mortal military attachΓ©, wearing the leather armor of the hundred households of the Xuanxin Kingdom, but unlike ordinary military attachΓ©s, he seems to have aura in his body, and he is actually a stranger!
Speaking of aliens, we have to mention the difference between immortals and mortals, as well as a series of things created by the exchanges and interactions between immortals.
It is very likely that this person's ancestors may have had some great cultivators, and there are still some inheritances of the supernatural abilities cultivated by the predecessors, but they are just like Li Zhen, who has a lack of spiritual roots, and the immortal path has no basis, and it is not enough to embark on the future of cultivating immortals.
Therefore, no matter how hard you try, you will only be a stranger between a mortal and a monk.
In the world, such people are actually not uncommon, Li Zhen initially showed wisdom and skills that were different from ordinary people, and he was not regarded as a demon, but a strange person born with wisdom.
The monks do not hate strangers, but have a lot of care, and there are many such strange people in the Persona Division who hold important positions.
But, that's about it.
Who told them that their spiritual roots are lacking, and the immortal path has no basis?
This person looks to be over thirty years old, and his appearance is not good, but his outline is tough and heroic, especially a pair of eyes are bright, as if they can shine brightly, and it is impressive to look at.
Li Zhen smelled the fragrance of bamboo on him, and felt that he should be the kind of decent person who was quite chivalrous and jealous and hateful.
"Zuo Baihu, how can you see it?" said the monk-like worshipper.
It turns out that this Zhuxiang Yiren is surnamed Zuo, and he is currently temporarily living in 100 households.
Zuo Baihu listened to the offering and asked, and said: "This can be seen from the bones of the water monster's lair. β
"Do you know what that means?" asked a mortal officer.
Zuo Baihu did not answer, and the mortal hall official continued: "Just because of your suspicions, the brothers in the division will have to run around and investigate everywhere, if there is something to gain, it is not tight, fight hard, there is no lack of fame, but if you get nothing, then it will be in vain." β
Zuo Baihu frowned and said: "We are waiting to kill demons and eliminate demons, just to protect the territory and the people." β
"Hey, you can't say that, if you are running around here, doesn't it mean that there are fewer people to investigate other cases, why bother?"
"Yes, if there is really another black hand in this, sooner or later I can't help but jump out by myself, and it's not too late to track it down when the time comes. β
"In my opinion, now that the war in the south has started, I don't know how many ghosts and ghosts are going to take advantage of the chaos to come out and cause trouble, rather than staring at the water monsters, it is better to close the case as soon as possible and free up manpower to deal with others. β
Li Zhen floated behind these Strange Persona Department officials, and although they were not stench, they had the smell of rotten wood and oil smoke.
When they were young, they may have had the world in their hearts, worried about the country and the people, but after a long time, they all deteriorated and became mediocre people in the turbid world.
But on the contrary, even Li Zhen has to admit that what these people say also has some truth.
The Persona Division's manpower and material resources are limited, and tracking down only exists in an ideal state.
The sun isn't enough to sweep away all the gloom, so how can Persona do it?
This kind of little water monster that can't even talk about the scourge can be solved so quickly, it can already be called a god speed, don't look at the death of a dozen or dozens of people in the market, it may be the number accumulated over the years, in this world, it is not a matter at all.
If it is really as Zuo Baihu said, there is another person behind him, he will jump out sooner or later, and it will not be too late to solve it at that time.
"But I think ......"
"Okay, Zuo Baihu, don't say more, we know that you took over this case, and we are not willing to end here, but we still have to obey the arrangement of the department, right?"
"You go out first, whether to continue the investigation, I will inform you when the time comes. β
Zuo Baihu had no choice but to get up, and Yu Yu withdrew from the room.
"This Zuo Zhongliang ......," an official shook his head and sighed with a smile.
At this time, Li Zhen knew that Zuo Baihu was called Zuo Zhongliang.
The monk's appearance of worship said: "Zuo Baihu is still full of blood, hehe, but judging from the seized Three Treasures Refining Demon Technique, it may be the handiwork of the Hades Sect, the Hades Sect is a great demon sect, and it was once known as a holy land, even if it is divided into four, it is also not to be underestimated." β
"Oh, what are you talking about, the former Demon Dao Holy Land, the leader of the World Evil Cultivation Alliance, the Underworld Sect? It is rumored that this sect was divided into four due to internal strife, and turned into the four major sects of the Huangquan Sect, the Corpse Immortal Sect, the Ghost Soul Sect, and the White Bone Sect, and it is still not weak. β
The monk's appearance worshipped: "This is the giant who once brought disaster to the world, and it was necessary for the righteous path of the world to unite to fight, of course, it is impossible to be weak, but now the Huangquan Sect is in Zuzhou, the Corpse Immortal Sect is in Changzhou, the Ghost Sect is in Yuanzhou, and the White Bone Sect is in Liuzhou. β
"Alas, the Demon Dao is quick to achieve, and he is good at using external forces, so there are a lot of conveniences in the low-level realm, no wonder it is easy to deceive people. β
"These methods have already spread, and they have been banned repeatedly. β
The worship said disapprerovingly: "After all, evil is still invincible, besides, do you really think that with the temperament of Zuo Baihu, you will let it go? In my opinion, eighty percent of you have to secretly go to investigate to the end." β
When a room of Hearsay officials heard this, they couldn't help but look strange: "You mean ......?"
Offering a smile and said: "I still have some accuracy in seeing people, this Zuo Baihu is estimated to be unable to let go, so he has to go to investigate by himself, but I suggest that since he wants to check, it will be as he wishes, and I will wait and see what happens." β
"What is unclear now is whether the Demon Dao has ill intentions and intends to provoke a war between good and evil again, or whether he has recklessly cultivated and has an adventure and wants to borrow the hands of others to raise monsters. β
"And what is the sacredness of the message to us? β
When Li Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but curse the old fox secretly, it seemed that they were planning to hide in the shadows to cope with all changes.
However, he had heard about the rumors of the Underworld Sect before.
It was indeed a difficult force to deal with, and the Tianyun Sect could only be called a rising star in front of it, so it was indeed necessary not to be cautious.
After that, a few people talked about other things, and Li Zhen listened to it, but he didn't care about it, so he simply wandered around.
Persona Division is an institution for dealing with demons and spirits, of course, there are means to prevent yin spirits and all kinds of ghosts, but the out-of-body soul involves the secret of the original god, and it is the purest spiritual spirit.
The level of the spirit dive is much higher than that of the Yin Spirit Spirit, and in this state, it cannot be detected by idle means, so there is no hindrance to a place that seems to be an archive.
Li Zhen suddenly remembered something: "The Strange News Division contains information on strange cases and important cases from all sides, and it should have been in contact with many strange people and strange people, and strange and grotesque talks. β
"There are even cultivation exercises in the cultivation realm!"
These are exactly what he is interested in.
Li Zhen had obtained some knowledge of the Immortal Cultivation Realm from the Tianyun Sect, as well as methods such as breathing and breathing, and had recently obtained knowledge related to Yun Dun and Divine Souls, but he had never been in contact with the cultivation techniques of the Grass Scattered Cultivation or even the Demon Dao.
As a result, I looked around, and there were a lot of case files, relevant evidence, and testimony were also classified and stored, neatly and neatly, but I didn't see a single one of the cultivation exercises.
Li Zhen reacted: "This kind of thing is more confidential, and it should have been properly kept or destroyed." β
"There are already people in the Demon Dao who secretly spread these things, and if they don't do anything, they will soon be everywhere. β
But just when he was thinking so, he suddenly found that on the table in the corner of the room, a silk book was impressive.
"Could it be the magic skill that was seized today? By the way, it's too late to close the case and enter the warehouse, and this is the territory of the Persona Division, and there are high-ranking people guarding it. β
Li Zhen's heart was pounding, and he floated over to spread it out and looked at it.
Sure enough, it was the Three Treasures Refining Magic Recipe that the Division had enshrined and mentioned!
According to the priest's offering, this skill is the handiwork of the Demon Dao Sect, and it was created in order to spread the Dao system and confront the righteous path, so it is naturally impossible to be difficult and obscure.
Li Zhen read it without hindrance, and even quickly saw its essence.
"This is actually a practice from simple to complex, with unlimited potential, although it is used for low-level beginners, but the Three Treasures, the essence and spirit, itself contains the supreme avenue of cultivators refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, and refining gods to return to emptiness, with this as the foundation, how can it be used only in the realm of simple qi refining!"
It's just that, in addition to the program involving the Great Dao at the beginning, it soon turned to the specific method of demon refining, which is indeed a quick technique.
There are a total of four types of demon refining techniques recorded above, such as refining corpses, refining beasts, refining Gu, and refining demons, as well as the methods of controlling them, and what Huang De chose should be one of the beast refining ones, but to select suitable spirits to transform demon servants, all of which are ruthless and evil paths.
However, Li Zhen soon noticed that there was no mention of the common methods of cultivating the true realm, such as sacrifices and confessions.
It stands to reason that such a mistake should never appear in the introductory exercises of the Great Sect, refining into a flying sword must be refined with one's own essence and blood vitality, and the Lord must be bound, not to mention a dangerous monster?
It's like eating that is usually spoken about, it's impossible to just eat without eating vegetables, and it's impossible to really take the magic trick seriously and just refine the demons and ignore the demons.
There must be a specific method of recognizing the Lord here, that is, the part of resisting demons, and those superficial methods of control are not counted.
"Is this a reserved back door for people to plunder the fruits and enjoy the results?"
Li Zhen was secretly surprised, and suddenly thought of such a possibility.
The people in the Demon Dao are not good men and women, and they bother to spread this kind of thing that involves extraordinary powers, and they never expect a mortal like Huang De to be able to shake the ruling foundation of the Righteous Dao Sect, which is impossible to do if you think about it with your toes.
So, what their real purpose is, almost comes out.
"In the process of refining demons, those who have complete spiritual roots naturally inject their own qi into demons, which is the manifestation of one of the qi in the Three Treasures, and it can be regarded as selecting potential demonic seeds and granting power. β
Li Zhen quickly thought of another possibility.
Even the Demon Dao will not easily allow mortals to have power, and such a design can distinguish between those who have qualifications and those who do not.
Li Zhen gathered his thoughts and decided not to care so much for the time being, but to write down the whole article silently, and then slowly refer to it after he went back.
The next day, Li Zhen got up early and recited the magic skills silently, deepening his memory, and at the same time pondering whether there was anything he could use for himself.
It turned out that the part of refining evil seemed to have a slight similarity with the method of cloud escape.
As the so-called Tao is natural, monks all over the world take nature as their teacher, and their perception of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is different, giving birth to very different cultivation routes and methods.
But in essence, the pursuits are all consistent.
This kind of similarity will meet with each other in the high and profound realms, and even lead to the same end.
Li Zhen wondered if he could transfer the essence of it to the flowers and trees, and use the magic path refining technique to refine the clouds, or the tangible incense that he condensed, so as to give birth to the ability to manifest the saints.
But in this way, a new kind of incense must be created that can generate smoke and supply the needs of refining.
It is impossible for Li Zhen to be a traitor as described in the Demon Gong, and to harvest the blood and evil flow obtained from the killing to cultivate supernatural powers.
The way he thought of it was to use his strengths to find something available in the incense path to replace it.
"This method seems to be feasible? If I can really create such an incense product, not only will it be beneficial to me, but even the other cultivators of the Cloud Cult will have a new kind of Cloud Escape that can be called the Incense Cloud, which can be used as cultivation food. β
Inspiration burst out, Li Zhen immediately went to Hanxiang Pavilion and tried it.
At noon, the servants came to report, and the officials of the Incense Bureau posted a visit.
This is a truly well-informed person.
Although on the surface, the preparation of the Incense Affairs Bureau has nothing to do with Li Zhen, the master of the horse, but in fact it is inseparable, and it is impossible not to come to the dock and ask him to say a few more kind words in front of the immortal master.
Li Zhen thought for a while, took the post, and met guests in the front hall.
At this time, he learned that the person in charge of the Incense Affairs Bureau, who was being prepared, was surnamed Pei, and he was accompanied by the main officials who were going to serve in the Incense Affairs Bureau.
Li Zhen is in a high position and is not self-conscious, and the other party intends to cling, so naturally the guests and hosts are happy.
After chatting for a while, Li Zhen suddenly remembered his adventure in Huangkou Town, and asked, "Pei Shilang, I don't know how much you know about the materials suitable for making incense in the heavenly and earthly treasures?"
Pei Shilang said: "For a long time, ordinary people have very few opportunities to contact the treasures of heaven and earth, and we have never collected relevant information, so we have no way to understand it deeply. β
"However, the treasures of heaven and earth are also the nature of ordinary things, since there are materials that can make incense in all things, it stands to reason that those who are similar in the treasures of heaven and earth should also be fine. β
"In addition, it is a travelogue and legend that has been handed down in the world of cultivating immortals. β
"If you want to know this knowledge, you might as well find it from the book "Chronicles of the Scenery of All Nations", which is rumored to be a joint compilation of a number of wandering immortals, each of whom contributed to his own red dust experience and exploration, and there are latecomers who are constantly supplementing and improving. β
Then he volunteered: "Pei happened to read this book, and if he doesn't give up, he is willing to mark the source of the chapters related to spices and other things for the index." β
Look, these days, even sycophants have to have cultural knowledge.
Li Zhen exclaimed: "If Pei Shilang is really knowledgeable, then there will be work." β
