On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

And the unconscious wanderer, after the middle stage of the foundation building on this day, stopped the leakage, and immediately transferred to the practice of the Wood Walk Talisman Technique.

The cultivation of the Wood Walking Talisman Technique began with a nine-grade talisman - the Flower Shifting Wood Talisman.

The head of this rune is extremely bizarre, neither the "one gas and three clears" commonly used in Xuanzhenmen's "Detailed Explanation of Xuanzhen Runes", nor the common rune heads such as the word "rain", the word "ghost" or the three star maps, but a kind of deformed "dragon" prefix.

At first glance, it hardly looks like a cloud seal. You looked at it for a long time, but it was still under the reminder of the jade pen that I saw the crooked word "dragon".

He thought about it for a second time, and then he thought it wasn't surprising. After all, the text used to record this technique is originally a rare beast script, even if it is translated by Hou Tu Niangniang, it is normal to still retain its original schema in the talisman part.

After thinking about it, he continued to immerse himself in the outline and pen movement of the gall and the foot part of the talisman, and carefully pondered the true meaning of the spiritual trick contained in it.

Transferring flowers and grafting talismans, although the idea of retreat is similar to that of stand-in talismans, they are divided into two kinds of mother talismans and sub-talismans, and then through the spiritual connection and divine qi between the sub-mother talismans, the purpose of mutual replacement is achieved, but after careful study of the two talismans, the difference between the two talismans was still found.

The stand-in charm is generally a one-to-one correspondence relationship, that is, a mother symbol corresponds to a child symbol, and the transfer of flowers and wood symbols is "a mother gives birth to many children", that is, a mother symbol, which can be associated with multiple child symbols at the same time, which invisibly has an extra layer of effect to confuse the enemy, and the success rate of the escape technique is higher.

In addition, since the Wood Transference Talisman belongs to the Wood Walking Talisman Technique, it naturally requires the Wood Walking Spirit Root to be drawn by the Talisman itself, which greatly increases the difficulty of drawing.

However, this threshold is no longer a problem for free. The only regret is that, according to the records of the document, with the cultivation of the middle stage of the foundation building, the upper limit that can only be achieved by drawing this talisman is "one mother giving birth to two sons".

You Li sighed regretfully and continued to study. Not long after, the sound of an ice-patterned python came from the entrance of the cave.

"Master, come and eat rabbit meat. ”

Hearing this, he put away the animal skin papers, and met with the ice python by the small waterfall at the entrance.

After the hares are slaughtered, they are washed in the pool and grilled over a fire.

Just as the smell of meat was drifting away, in the waterhole not far away, the water waves swayed again, but it was the water fern demon who appeared again.

It looked at the blood flowing into the pool from upstream in disgust, and cried out:

"Hey, I said, do you have any public morality? Such dirty blood has flowed to my territory!"

Youli beckoned: "This is living water, flowing water has the ability to purify itself, and it won't take long to disperse." Would you like to try it? Fresh tree rabbit meat, very tender. ”

The water fern demon took a sip and said hatefully: "People are water plants, and they don't eat flesh and blood!" Next time, you will slaughter flesh and blood, and let the big snake freeze at the entrance of my waterhole, and guide the blood and water to other places, and people can't stand the smell of blood. ”

"Got it, do you really not want to eat it?" You Li looked regretful, thinking that since it had already turned into a demon, it had never eaten such a delicious thing, and it was really in vain to cultivate so hard.

The water fern demon did not say a word, and sank directly to the bottom of the pool, leaving only a series of bubbles on the surface of the pool as a silent protest.

He shrugged his shoulders, sprinkled some cumin on the freshly roasted rabbit meat, and handed it to the drooling ice python.

Although the ice python had eaten a few when hunting, it couldn't stand the aroma of cooked food, so it was not polite, and swallowed it directly.

You Li continued to barbecue meat, and said with a smile: "It seems that you will enjoy it more than Xiaoqing, and that guy is not used to eating cooked food, you like to eat, and you will often roast it in the future." ”

The ice python turned out, licked her lips, and said embarrassedly:

"It's the first time I've eaten such delicious rabbit meat, and I feel like I've lived in vain. Before, I never understood why we demon beasts were desperately cultivating, but in the end, they turned into human beings, instead of retaining their own form and form? Now I understand a little bit. ”

"The human race is weak, and the stomach can't bear to eat raw and cold, otherwise it will be sick at least and die at worst, so the effect of fire has been discovered." Speaking of which, this may be one of the reasons why the Terrans have been able to compete with your orcs for tens of thousands of years of survival - sometimes, the brain is more important than the physical strength. ”

"I understand, I have learned a lot from my master so far. The ice python said sincerely.

As he spoke, he had already roasted the second piece of meat, sprinkled it with Zi, and then threw it into the mouth of the ice-patterned python, and said while gnawing on the meat:

"There's not much left of the miasma poison on your body, and I'm going to continue the retreat for a while this time. If you don't feel bored in the cave, I can set up a Taiyin True Fire Array for you on the spot to help you refine the remaining poison. ”

"Okay, then I'll continue to accompany my master to cultivate. The ice python said happily.

——————————

The time sequence has come to the beginning of spring.

In the sting season, this snowy plateau finally ushered in the warm sun after several days of wind and snow.

On this day, on the Yuyu River, which had not frozen all winter, a painting boat suddenly sailed from the downstream direction. The carved beams and painted buildings, the ribbons fluttering, as soon as they appeared, they caused a sensation in the entire Anhua Town.

Although there is a large influx of immigrants to the town today, most of them are locals who have lived here for many years. When some people were working on the wharf on the west side of the town, they rushed to tell each other about the painting boat that was slowly coming upstream, and the result was that the word spread ten, ten, and hundred, and immediately attracted all the men, women, and children in the town to run over to join in the fun.

Although most people could not say what rank the bird-like bow in front of the painting boat represented, this did not prevent them from chattering with great interest and guessing that it was an important member of the imperial court. After all, there were soldiers in armor in front of and behind the painting boat, and they were mighty and killing, and the momentum was amazing.

So, there was a person who was active, and instantly guessed eight or nine points: "Could it be the long-rumored pacification envoy?"

Some people have a different opinion: "If you want to inspect our poor and remote Anhua Town, you must go to the county seat by land, how can you come here directly by water? ”

When the rest of the people heard this, they all echoed it.

For a while, there was such an uproar that even the craftsmen on the wharf had no intention of working and stopped on the shore.

In the painting boat, four people sit on the four sides of the square table, two of them are playing against each other, and the other two are watching the chess without saying a word.

The man who held the white son in the game, wearing a black soft-footed head and a plain Confucian shirt, was about thirty years old, and was bowing his head to the chessboard in thought.

The person sitting opposite him was also young, but he was wearing a crown and a tail, and his temperament was more dusty than the former. He looked at the other party's frowning and thoughtful look, and couldn't help but chuckle:

"Brother Li, after many years, he is still so serious and serious. ”

The man surnamed Li didn't raise his head, "Xing Yangsheng, if you have something to say, just say it." You and I have known each other for many years, and we entered the department in the same year, so we know the roots, so why do you have to beat around the bush?"

Xing Yangsheng shook his tail with his hand and smiled indifferently:

"Shibei should be impressed for three days, Brother Li has been in Anxi Prefecture for two years, not to mention anything else, at least this decisive temperament has been exercised. Congratulations. ”

After Li Zimu finished thinking about it, he finally left Baizi, and then he looked up and said:

"The petty officials of the border states on the lower side of the official side are not as idle as you, Hanlin Lang. Just the naturalization of the displaced people is full of problems, and they are made to jump by those old and young, not to mention that the Huns come to make trouble from time to time. ”

Xing Yangsheng pressed down his tail and said with a smile: "Lu Xiang and Master Confucius both know that it is not easy for you, so don't you send me over to assist you?"

"Hmph!" Li Zimu watched Xing Yangsheng fall into the sunspot quickly, clasped his hands in his sleeves, and spit out a breath of hot air, "Master Confucius, since you have already made up your mind to worship under Lu Xiangguo's door, why do you have to act so cowardly? Besides, are you here to assist me? I'm afraid that Lu Xiangguo agrees, and you yourself may not be willing to agree, right?"

Xing Yangsheng still looked light and light, and said unhurriedly:

"I tried to win the championship back then, but I was personally promoted by Master Confucius, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites at the time, and I am naturally one of his many disciples, so it's not an exaggeration to call 'Master Confucius', right?

Li Zimu fell again, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, there is no point in making these senseless verbal disputes. Let me ask you first, what are your plans regarding the bidding for the mining rights of the Jinwu Stone Mine?"

"Hey, you weren't such a straightforward person before. Xing Yangsheng was surprised and said, "Back then, you and I were in the top three in the same palace, how high-spirited were we? We searched for books together in Huai City, the capital, talked about the scriptures and talked about the Tao at night, and slept on our feet.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Xing Yangsheng said again: "Although the foolish brother was appointed by the Political Affairs Hall this time to temporarily serve as the pacification envoy of Anxi Road, but before leaving, Lu Xiangke took special care of it, focusing on the overall situation in everything, and trying to help you straighten out many policies in Anxi Prefecture." In particular, when it comes to peace talks between the two countries, I should refer to your suggestions. ”

"Are you a peace negotiator?" Li Zimu said in surprise.

Xing Yangsheng smiled and did not answer directly, but changed his words and asked, "I heard that your nephew has already entered the gate of Jade Dragon Mountain?"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Miao, who had been sitting behind Li Zimu's side, immediately got up and crossed his hands and said, "Senior Wang Miao, I have seen the appeasement envoy. ”

At this time, the burly middle-aged man who had been sitting on the left side of Li Zimu hugged his fists and said, "Senior nephew Wang is placed under my senior brother's door. ”

Xing Yangsheng raised his eyebrows, "Oh, it turns out that Master Hua is the elder of Jade Dragon Mountain? ”

Hua Yingjie clenched his fists again.

"I heard that this Immortal Alliance Conference, a new worship party invited by your faction will participate?"

As soon as Xing Yangsheng's words fell, Hua Yingjie's momentum was released and he pressed towards Xing Yangsheng.

A mere mortal, even if he is a feudal official of the imperial court, dares to provoke the high cultivation of the Ning Dan period like this, he Hua Yingjie is not used to this problem!

Just when the flash of Gang Qi rushed straight to Xing Yangsheng who was close to him, an old man on his left who had been silent raised his hand and directly intercepted the Gang Qi, and then twisted his wrist and grabbed his five fingers, and the Gang Qi immediately disappeared into invisibility.

Seeing this, Hua Yingjie's face sank, and his heart was shocked. The other party's hand can be called superb, and he can completely melt his own qi, which shows that this person's strength is far above him.

He couldn't help but look at Li Zimu, but the other party's face was uglier than him.
