Chapter 379: The Pit of Demon Path Gong
After embarking on the journey to Chang'an, Lei Changye informed Yu Xuanji and the pharmacist of their arrival in the painting box, and asked them to make the final arrangements. At the same time, he also reminded them of the Floating Life Society and the Troubled World, and informed them that the Linghu Historian and others in the Great Inner Secret Library were traitors of the Floating Life Society.
Yu Xuanji, who thought that everything was under control, suddenly had a great sense of crisis. She found that Qiu Shiliang was likely to die at the hands of the troubled world. She sincerely discussed with the pharmacist, and was determined to step up the layout of the infiltration of the North Gate Changshang, and completely take over the power of the North Gate Changshang by controlling Qiu Feiying and others, and deal with Lei Changye's Flying Fish Ladyship.
After experiencing Qiu Shiliang's threat and the dumping of his colleagues, Qiu Feiying, Zhao Huan and Dong Yan among the demons in Changsu have already had the intention of retreating. When faced with the guillotine, they all realized that no amount of authority and money was insignificant in the face of death.
After Meng Xun returned from Jiangnan, he brought the bad news that the children of the Shence Army were remembered by the troubled world. The guards at the north gate all had no intention of taking up their duties, thinking about the children of the family. What is hateful is that Qiu Shiliang has no heart to care about the children of the Shence Army at all, except for the court meeting to constantly finalize the regulations for the payment of grain and wages in the eight towns in the southeast, and to stabilize the status of the main warehouse of North Taicang to collect grain and salary from all over the world, he loves to ignore everything else.
Because of this situation, there is a division in the demons of Changjuku. The generals led by Xu Zhanxiong who were indifferent to the safety of their children took advantage of this to desperately drill the camp, gain performance and status by Qiu Shiliang's side, and wanted to become the general who guarded North Taicang and took over the ship of Flying Fish.
Once he successfully accommodates the eight towns in the southeast and the autumn salary of Bashu, he will have the opportunity to become the first person in the north gate under Qiu Shiliang's seat.
And the soldiers who were worried about the safety of their children gathered around Qiu Feiying, Zhao Huan and Dong Yan little by little. In the end, the rising stars in the Changsu group of demons, Meng Xun and Zhao Suan, took their brothers to take refuge in Qiu Feiying.
Because Qiu Feiying is the only person who can catch up with Yong Daxia. In the entire Chang'an, if anyone can deal with the troubled world and the Floating Life Society, then only Yongqiang Yonghaichuan and his eight hundred silver righteous servants are left.
It's a pity that Yongqiang is now trapped in the Gyeonggi camp because of the theft of South Taicang, and he can't move freely. Even if you want to investigate the whereabouts of the Floating Life Society, the scope of the investigation is limited to Chang'an. Qiu Feiying and the others could only mobilize their subordinates to do this by themselves, and at the same time, they looked forward to Lei Changye arriving in Chang'an as soon as possible, paying the Bashu autumn salary for Yong Daxia, and recovering his freedom as soon as possible.
During this period, Qiu Shiliang was immersed in the secret realm of the Immortal Hidden Diagram, immersed in practice, and could not extricate himself. The top ten masters of Ouchi stubbornly guarded the Ouchi Secret Treasury and restricted the entry and exit of the wardens and historians in the library. Emperor Kaicheng of the Tang Dynasty did not go to court, and studied the way of alchemy in the palace.
Only Xu Zhanxiong and his henchmen were left in Chang'an City to show off their might, run rampant and domineering, and constantly squeeze Qiu Feiying's living space. Under the planning and planning of the pharmacist, Qiu Feiying struggled to maintain the position of the head of the North Gate, and fought with Xu Zhanxiong. Neither of them noticed at all that there had been a noticeable change in the mentality of the North Gate guards inside Miyagi.
That's the power of the pharmacist's strategy. He used all kinds of mental tricks to manipulate Xu Zhanxiong and Qiu Feiying to fight each other, preventing them from having a moment of idle time, causing them to have a blind spot of concern in internal and external troubles, and they were completely at the mercy of the arrangement bureau above the most critical palace gate guards.
However, the efforts of the medicine master and Yu Xuanji were only effective in suppressing the forces of Qiu Shiliang. The Floating Life Society is still in the shadow of mystery, except for the Linghu Historian and others who show the fox's tail, the other main forces of the Floating Life Society, including Bai Qi, still have not appeared.
Yongqiang, who was manipulated by Lei Changye, also launched eight hundred silver silver to search for news of the Floating Life Society everywhere, and his treasure baby also sneaked out of various painting boxes, covering all corners of Chang'an City. But the floating society can really hide, and it can't be found like this.
After a day and two nights of searching, Lei Changye put away his urgent desire to find the Floating Society. He found himself so obsessed with planning in advance that he no longer believed in his ability to respond to the enemy. Now that the matter has come to this, he must recognize the reality that he must be prepared for the worst, adapt to the situation, and be comfortable with the situation.
Since the general trend of Jiangnan was arranged in advance by him, he began to be a little too conceited and couldn't bear any uncertainty. Now the layout of the Floating Life Club has completely stepped out of the comfort zone he has just cultivated. This is not a bad thing in the long run.
There are more challenges in the future, and he needs to use the resources he already has to make temporary responses. The challenge of the floating life club this time is to practice.
Lei Changye took his heart and finally regained his peace of mind. He began to concentrate on observing Qiu Shiliang's cultivation process.
Qiu Shiliang's progress was extremely swift and smooth.
First of all, in order to be on the safe side, he ran the magic gong all over again according to the primary level of the Demon Path Gong, and checked whether there were any variables in the key characteristics of all the magic skills. After a day and two nights of practice, he found that the Demon Path Gong was the same magic skill he had been practicing.
This gave him a lot of confidence and hope. He began to sprint towards the last of the Demon Path Gong. The last repetition of the Demon Path Gong is to continue the foundation of Qiu Shiliang's cultivation of the Demon Gong in the front, and the essence of the Demon Gong is gathered in one place in the back, forming a kind of realm of great achievements, and through the exquisite and mysterious practice veins and circulation paths, it is condensed into a core formation of its own.
This delicate and mysterious final exercise is full of ingenuity, as if it is the fruit of the Tao condensed by human wisdom, and has an indescribable sense of mystery and sacredness.
Once Qiu Shiliang began to cultivate, he was immediately impressed by the various ingenuity and subtleties contained in this set of exercises. Many of the insurmountable obstacles he encountered while practicing were easily cut off, and instead became a shortcut to ascent.
This feeling is as if he was originally climbing a mountain, but after practicing this exercise, he found that he was not climbing a mountain, but descending a mountain, and the more he walked, the more he walked, the faster he walked, and finally he even began to want to run.
Lei Changye secretly watched the whole process of his practice. Just by looking at it, you can feel that this exercise is really powerful. Because when Qiu Shiliang was practicing, a faint crimson brilliance would appear around his body. It was the brilliance of the demonic aura in the body overflowing and blooming. These brilliances show the swiftness and ferocity of the progress of the demonic arts.
At the same time, this brilliance also exposed the trajectory of the demonic power in Qiu Shiliang's body, and even revealed the circulation route and qi distribution of the gong in his body.
Just when Lei Changye was observing, Wu Daozi suddenly came out of the painting box and came to him.
"Xiao Lei, there is indeed something about this thing's magic skills. Wu Daozi said in surprise. It turned out that he had been secretly watching Qiu Shiliang's cultivation all along.
"It's very peculiar, it always feels like we're missing something. Lei Changye said in a deep voice.
"I've never seen such a powerful magic aura, the aura pattern formed outside his body is a little familiar, where have you seen it?" Wu Daozi scratched his head.
"Have you ever seen this pattern?" asked Lei Changye in surprise.
"Well, don't you think it's a bit like some of the formation patterns that appear from the mustard seed bag core?" Wu Daozi asked.
"Hmm...... Does the formation pattern in the mustard seed bag have anything to do with this Demon Path Gong?" Lei Changye was startled.
"You know the magic circle of mustard seed bags best, haven't you seen this kind of formation?" Wu Daozi asked again.
"Well...... Lei Changye carefully watched the aura on Qiu Shiliang's body.
He suddenly understood. Wu Daozi didn't have a particularly deep understanding of the formation of the mustard seed bag core, nor did he particularly understand it, so he was just keen about the shape, pattern and shape of the circle.
Lei Changye was a person who had studied the mustard bag because he had studied the mustard seed bag intensively, so when he saw the mustard seed bag circle, the first thing he saw was the internal structure and principle of the circle. Not too keen on shapes, patterns, and shapes.
In his opinion, the structure of the magic circle formed by the aura pattern exuded from Qiu Shiliang's body was very different from the magic circle in the mustard seed bag, and it was not the same thing at all. However, if you throw away the core of the circle and just look at the appearance, it really looks a little similar.
There is no doubt that the Demon Path Gong is a huge sinkhole, just waiting to put Qiu Shiliang in it. But what exactly is this pit? Now the aura pattern exuding from Qiu Shiliang's body is the best consideration.
Lei Changye was excited. A magic skill that has never been seen before, revealing a magic circle structure similar to the shape of the mustard bag method core formation, and the knowledge of Taoism and talisman contained in it is very attractive in itself. If he can think about this matter thoroughly, it will be an improvement and supplement to his formation learning and talisman science.
He immediately grabbed a charcoal pen and quickly drew the aura pattern on Qiu Shiliang's body on the ground of the Boat Palace. Then he closed his eyes and quickly scanned the Mozi Five Elements Formation he had written down, trying to find one or two fitting formations to restore them.
Whenever he thought of a similar formation, he added a few strokes to the ground, and in just half an hour, the ground had already been painted by him in pitch black.
He wiped the floor with a damp rag and drew it again from memory, this time he went to the chaff and drew only a few of the patterns that seemed most likely to him, and put them together into the aura pattern on Qiu Shiliang's body.
Then he painted the aura pattern on another floor, this time adding a little bit of formation on his own initiative. At this time, he suddenly discovered something, quickly drew a circle of boundaries around the circle, and then added a bunch of strange-shaped formations underneath. The formation he drew seemed to have a very ingenious core structure, but it was built extremely sloppily and had a cult charm.
"What is this?" Wu Daozi watched him draw this and that, he was already dizzy, his eyes were dazzled, and he sat down on the ground.
"This is ......" Lei Changye rubbed his eyes, cold sweat rolled down like rain, "...... Demon Melting Furnace!"
