Fire-weary city, a mansion somewhere in the city lord's mansion.

Wang Dashan sat at the top of the hall with a look of anger on his face. An old man in a yellow robe by the window on the side stood with his hands behind his back, quietly looking out of the window, unable to see any expression, it was Tu Gui, the elder of Tengyan Peak.

There were also two men in armor kneeling in the hall.

"Have you found out who killed my son Batian?" Wang Dashan said in a low voice.

One of the big men replied: "City Lord, the humble position has been investigated. At that time, after the eldest young master came out of Baibaozhai, he was followed by a gray-clothed man, and there was also a mortal boy who followed him. The eldest young master seemed to be aware of it, and deliberately led them to the outskirts of the southern part of the city......"

"Being followed?Have you found out who it is?" Wang Dashan touched his chin and looked thoughtful.

Dahan continued: "The humble post has been ascertained, the gray-clothed man was originally a loose cultivator near Huangren Mountain, named Zuo Mu, and the many cases of robbery and looting over the years seem to be related to him, but there is no real evidence. According to the traces of the scene, the eldest young master and he had fought fiercely. It's just that I didn't expect that this time Zuo Mu would die with the eldest young master, but in the end he was profited by that mortal young fisherman. ”

Wang Dashan asked again, "What is the name of that young man?"

Another big man said: "The lord of the city, the king of Baibao Zhai was interrogated by his humble position, and according to his confession, the young man was born and had never been in the city of fire weary before. Later, under the investigation of the lowly position, it was found out that the young man's name was Zhao Hong, and he was a running boy in the wine shop at the head of Dakeng Village at the foot of Huangren Mountain. When the eldest young master was bidding for Danding, he was also on the side, and two disciples of Bolang Villa were also present at that time. ”

Wang Dashan frowned, looked up at Tu Gui, and saw that he didn't react, so he muttered softly: "Why did you get involved with the people of Bolang Villa again?"

At this time, Tu Gui turned around and asked sharply, "Where is that young man now?"

The big man's body trembled, and he replied: "I have carefully surveyed the scene, and it seems that after the young man left the scene, there was no trace, and he did not go back to the wine shop. As for the traces, I really don't know ......" Before the words fell, he felt a chill on his neck, his eyes darkened, and he lost consciousness.

The other big man beside him trembled violently, but he didn't dare to look up at all.

Tu Gui snorted coldly and said, "I don't know, it's incompetent, right? Since it's a waste, what's the use of staying in this world?" Although his face did not fluctuate in the slightest, he was already resentful in his heart.

Originally, because he received many benefits from Wang Dashan, and Wang Batian's qualifications were not bad, he naturally agreed to Wang Dashan and accepted Wang Batian as a disciple. After Tu Gui slightly taught some of the essentials of cultivation, he gave Wang Batian's main sect's cultivation technique "Tengyan Decision" and alchemy "Alchemy Essentials" and let him practice on his own. Originally, he planned to wait for Wang Batian's cultivation to stabilize and return to Tengyan Peak by himself, and then officially announce the matter of accepting apprentices. But now it's good, Wang Batian's own nest is useless, and if he dies, he will die, but if he loses his own sect exercises, this crime is really not small, so how can he not be angry.

Wang Dashan glared at the other big man in the hall and shouted, "Why are you still stunned? Why don't you go quickly, check it out for me!"

The big man staggered out of the way. But he just bumped into Jiang Fuzi and Miaoying Daoren and his party coming in. Seeing that the big man was reckless, Jiang Fuzi slapped him, and the big man was shaken away dozens of meters away and hit the wall.

This is still Jiang Fuzi's mercy and did not mean to hurt his life.

"If your subordinates do something wrong, how should they be punished, the punishment is enough, what kind of anger is this Wang Dacheng Lord?" said Miaoying Daoren coldly.

Wang Dashan's face changed, and he hurriedly stood up, but saw that Jiang Fuzi was carrying Steward Zhong, who was already unconscious at this time, followed by a pair of young men and women in ragged clothes. He frowned deeply, and couldn't help asking, "Two Dao Masters, what's going on?"

Jiang Fuzi threw Steward Zhong to the wall, clapped his hands, and did not speak, the latter snorted, still unconscious.

Miao Ying Dao said: "Wang City Lord, the people of the City of Disgust are not living now, and the people have reached the point of selling themselves to bury their father, but this great housekeeper of Zhong under you took the opportunity to take the girl into captivity, but he accepted your will?"

Wang Dashan's body was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Wang is deeply favored by the emperor, and as a parent official, how could he do such an unrighteous thing." This must be the people below doing things indiscriminately, doing evil, I really don't know anything. Then he shouted out of the door: "Hmph, come on, drag this unknown person down, put him in prison first, and wait for my detailed trial in the future, and I will definitely give an explanation to the people of the city of fire-weary city." ”

......

Flipping over the cover, a quaint atmosphere came to his face, and Zhao Hong suddenly perked up, as if the loss and tiredness just now were completely gone.

The general preface of the opening chapter: The people of ancient times, born in the land of Kyushu, struggled to survive in the wildfires, lay in wait for thousands of miles in the epidemic, and flowed rivers of blood under the minions of fierce beasts. The heart of heaven is the most benevolent, and there are witches among the people at that time. Enlighten the way of heaven, understand the principles of heaven, and have infinite power. It is a sorcerer, who goes up to the sky, and stands on the ground, and in the middle it goes straight to heaven and earth, and rules people and people. He is a great wise man, who can be upright and upright, and can know the righteousness of the upper and lower levels, and he is a witch.

Under the sequel, there are two annotations next to it, and the handwriting of the first annotation above is recognized by Zhao Hong, which is the handwriting of the same person who inscribed on the mural, and wrote: This canon is the essence of ancient witchcraft exercises, and you have the opportunity, so you must practice carefully, if you are a little lazy, you will not be blind under the nine springs. If you have achieved miraculous achievements, you can go to the mountains and seas, get my mantle, be my disciple, and be my own driver, and kill all the Great Wilderness God and Ancient Witches for me, and have no regrets for life.

After reading the first annotation, Zhao Hong was full of mysteries in his heart. He estimated that the skeleton should have been the owner of the "Witch Book" before his death, but it was obviously the practice of the ancient witch, why did he have to kill all the ancient witches after learning it? Also, he had never heard of the people or forces of the gods and the ancient witches, where were the mountains and the seas? What was the great wilderness?

These may have been thousands of years ago, and Zhao Hong couldn't figure out what was going on for the time being, so he continued to look down.

The second annotation is handwritten with slender and handsome handwriting, like a woman's handwriting, and it is written: The past is remembered, and long-term hatred is easy to become hurt. Don't be a concubine, the most heartbreaking is the most heartbroken. The old song is sung low, for whom to draw dressing. The soul has nowhere to go, and life and death are boundless.

Zhao Hong couldn't help but shake his head after seeing it, trying to calm down his mood. He didn't want to guess any longer, this may be a tragic story about love and hatred, Lang has a sad hatred for his concubine, which is simply unacceptable.

However, after reading the prologue, Zhao Hong also understood that this "Witch Book" turned out to be a classic book about the cultivation of the witch clan. He then looked back and found that the whole book was divided into two volumes, the first volume was called "Technique" and the second volume was called "Technique".

Among them, the first volume of "art" is divided into two parts: "refining the soul" and "quenching the body", which is about the practice of the Wu clan, emphasizing the soul and the body. The next volume of "Techniques" is divided into three parts: charms, spells, and arrays, which are about the various skills and spells of the Wu clan. Technology is fundamental, technology is external, the "technique" and "technique" are combined, and the technique is used to guide the technique, so as to achieve the unity of knowledge and action, and there is no disadvantage.

At first, Zhao Hong looked disappointed, he originally wanted to see if the book had any way to leave this place. He doesn't have much interest in practicing exercises now, he is the qualification of the waste spirit root that Feng Buyu said, and any exercises are like chicken ribs to him. What's more, now that I am in a difficult situation, if I can't leave, I can't save my life, so what's the use of no matter how advanced the exercises are?

But the more he looked down, the more he felt that he had thought wrong, until at last he had a completely excited expression.

"The Book of Witches" is a summary of the martial arts practice of the Wu clan, and the cultivation methods contained in it can be said to be completely different from the cultivation methods of the Terran monks, and there is no need to rely on the spiritual root, and the word spiritual root is not mentioned in the whole book at all.

The witches were originally the people of the same origin as the ancients, and later because of the difference in the concept of cultivation, they gradually separated from each other, and finally launched a century-long war more than a thousand years ago, after which the witch tribe was defeated, withdrew from Middle-earth, disappeared in the land of southern Xinjiang, and disappeared without a trace.

The Wu Clan is a peculiar race, and it usually seems that it is no different from the human race, but the Wu Clan has a strong body unique to its own race. If the Wu clan cultivates to a certain level, it can conjure up a dark demonic aura similar to that of a demon person, or change into a half-demon body similar to that of a demon clan, and even cast a soul attack secret technique unique to the ghost.

Of course, what attracted Zhao Hong's attention the most was, of course, the essence of the Wu Clan's exercises.

The cultivation of Terran monks lies in enlightenment and refining weapons. It is necessary to rely on the innate characteristics of the spiritual root, wait for the "three flowers to gather at the top" to stabilize the spiritual root, absorb the yuan essence between heaven and earth to refine the qi, improve the cultivation, and then the "five qi dynasty yuan", and finally refine into the Dan fetus, and the five qi will be returned to the Dan fetus. If you cultivate to different realms, you can comprehend different magical powers, including driving magic weapons to attack.

Therefore, the foundation of the cultivation of the Terran monks lies in the spiritual root. This is also the reason why a waste spirit root like Zhao Hong can't be cultivated at all.

The cultivation of the Wu clan, according to the "Witch Code", lies in refining the divine soul, through which the spiritual energy and laws of heaven and earth can be communicated, and in quenching the body and strengthening one's own physical body. In contrast to the magic and magic powers of the human race, the witch clan also has the witchcraft skills of its own race: charms, spells, and arrays.

An hour later, Zhao Hong took a cursory look at the "Witch Book", closed his eyes and sorted it out slightly.

He now has a general understanding of the Wu Clan's exercises. The so-called "witch", one horizontal to the sky, the next horizontal to the earth, the middle one vertical to the heavens and the earth, the middle of the unified people. The true meaning of the Wu Clan Exercises lies in using the divine soul to communicate with the heavens and the earth.

In the same way that the Terran monks emphasized that the spiritual root is the foundation of cultivation, the spiritual soul is the foundation of the Wu clan's cultivation, and the strength of the divine soul determines the speed of cultivation.

The Wu clan emphasizes the cultivation of the divine soul and the strength of the divine soul, which can be divided into three realms: the virtual realm, the real realm, and the transformation realm.

In terms of how to strengthen the soul, there are three kinds of techniques: soul alchemy, soul dementorship, and soul extraction.

The first is soul alchemy. It is to attract the aura of heaven and earth into the body and quench one's own soul. This method emphasizes the accumulation of time and step by step, and it is the most basic and stable and reliable soul strengthening method for Wu monks, and it will not produce any risks and side effects.

The second is spiritualism, which, as the name suggests, is to ingest the souls of other living beings for their own use. Soul dementors are very risky, and there are certain limits. It is impossible for you to ingest a divine soul that is stronger than your own, not only will you not succeed, but you will cause your own divine soul to be annihilated because the opponent's divine consciousness is too strong. Even if you ingest a soul that is weaker than yourself, the memories and impurities in those souls can have a corresponding impact on the soul of the absorber, and if you accumulate too much, you will have a confused memory because of it, and if you are serious, you will go crazy and go crazy.

Finally, there is the soul purging technique, which is to pick up the dead spirits and ghosts wandering between heaven and earth, filter their souls and incorporate them into their own souls. Soul picking is also extremely risky, if you are not careful, not only will you not be able to retrieve it, but it is very likely that you will be eaten by it and become a walking dead.

Soul dementoring and soul pinching seem to have something in common with the soul refining methods of the legendary evil spell cultivators. Thinking of this, Zhao Hong's heart jumped, I don't know what the alchemy mentioned in the "Witch Book" has to do with the soul refining method of the spell master?

Zhao Hong opened his eyes and couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. The Wu clan is a mystery to him, there is almost no Wu clan in the land of Middle-earth, should he practice the Wu clan exercises in the "Witch Book"? Will he also become an evil cultivator like a "spell master" after cultivation?

It didn't take long for him to shake his head and decide he didn't want to give up. As for the reason, it was not how much thought he had put into it, but it was simple: his stomach screamed.

"The Book of Witches" contains that refining souls can open up valleys. This is the same as the cultivation of the human race, which is to be able to transform the aura of heaven and earth into the essence in one's own body, so as to clear the valley.

For the time being, nothing is more urgent than the fight against hunger.

Zhao Hong made up his mind and no longer wavered. On the one hand, he wanted to fully understand the characteristics of the Wu Clan's exercises, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see some clues and find out the differences between them and the evil cultivation methods.
