Chapter 244: The Sword of the Humble Shepherd

What is Gongsun looking for?

He Zhi suddenly had some doubts in his heart. He looked more closely at the seals in the air, wanting to see more clues from the movements of the seals.

In the scholar's page of Gongsun's posthumous scroll, there are a total of 1,232 characters, and each word is turned into a seal, so the total number of original seals in the air is 1,232.

In the battle with the evil dragon, about half of them were wiped out by the evil dragon's soul power. At this time, there were only about 600 seals left in the sky, and they were still flying around.

However, even if half of the seal inscriptions of Gongsun Scroll have dissipated, the remaining 600 seal inscriptions are still powerful.

When these seals are flying in the air, they are also connected from end to end, and it seems that every change can form a completely different meaning. And these words themselves are the condensation of the Legalist Dao, and they all have different powers—obviously, when the scholar fought against the remnant soul of the evil dragon before, the trick he first used to turn words into chains was the magical power he comprehended from the Gongsun Scroll.

These seal inscriptions flying out of the Gongsun relics are themselves the manifestation of the Great Dao of Jurisprudence, and they are not accessible to ordinary monks at all. Even He Zhi relied on his own clear realm, and when he wanted to carefully observe these seal inscriptions, he would feel vague and inrecent.

As for the other monks present, whether it was Ying Wu, Hu Feng, or Sect Master Qin, they also did not have the slightest understanding of the way of learning. And there is no bonus to the Enlightenment Realm itself, so naturally it is even more impossible to see the changes in those talismans in the air.

However, even if he couldn't see the changes in those seals clearly, He Zhi still kept his eyes on the air. Even if the Jindan ghost general who was close at hand roared again and again, He Zhi didn't have the slightest distraction, just stared at those seals wholeheartedly.

After observing in a blur for almost ten seconds, He Zhi finally realized where he had always felt that something was wrong!

Previously, when Gongsun Relic Scroll was fighting against the remnant soul of the evil dragon, the 1,232 seal characters of the fragment were connected, and they were completely the embodiment of the true meaning of the Legalist Dao.

However, at this time, when there were still about 600 seals left in the air, there seemed to be a little problem with the connection between these 600 seals. Maybe this problem is not very obvious, but when those seals make some changes, there will be a slight pause of a second, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may ignore the past.

Even, even if someone notices it, they will think that this is because the power of Gongsun Relic Scroll is excessively consumed, and the number of remaining seal inscriptions is insufficient.

However, He Zhi, who had been watching Gongsun Relic Scroll fight with the evil dragon before, would not think so. Because He Zhi could see clearly at that time, when Gongsun Relic Scroll fought with the evil dragon, there was never any pause.

Even if Gongsun later divided a part of the seal inscription to refine the ghost soldiers and ghost soldiers thrown by the Jindan ghost general, the spell composed of only twenty or thirty seal inscriptions was also working as expected, as if it were one.

Therefore, even if there are only more than 600 seals left in the Gongsun Scroll, there should be no phenomenon of poor operation!

So what is the reason for such a problem in Gongsun's posthumous scroll?

The moment this question appeared in He Zhi's mind, an answer that made him creep suddenly appeared in He Zhi's heart!

Remnant of the Dragon?!

He Zhi suddenly remembered how he felt before he finally rushed into the Gongsun Relic Scroll and launched a desperate blow to the evil dragon. At that time, He Zhi felt that the remnant soul of the evil dragon was full of infinite greedy desires for the Gongsun Relic Scroll, as if he wanted to devour and assimilate the Gongsun Relic Scroll and become a part of himself!

Perhaps, at that time, his desperate blow was indeed a failure in his attempt to let the evil dragon remnant devour Gongsun's relic, but what if it didn't completely fail?

When this thought came to mind, He Zhi suddenly concentrated all his attention and devoted all his mind to the remnants of the more than 600 Gongsun Relic Scrolls in the sky!

Sure enough, when He Zhi was engrossed in observing the operation of Gongsun's posthumous scroll, he finally found a clue from it!

Although He Zhi still couldn't see the changes in every seal inscription in the Gongsun Scroll, He Zhi found in his continuous observation that every pause in the Gongsun Scroll was because of the problem with the operation of three specific seal inscriptions!

If this kind of problem only appears once or twice, or if each time the problem arises is a different seal script, it may be understood that this is a problem caused by the incompleteness of the Gongsun scroll itself.

However, when He Zhi saw ten, twenty, and fifty times that there were constant problems with Gongsun's relics, and each time it was those three specific seals that caused the problem, He Zhi immediately realized the problem!

Something is wrong with those three seals!

As He Zhi noticed the abnormality of the three seals and focused all his attention on them, he soon discovered that these three seals had indeed become different from the other seals in Gongsun's relics!

As I said before, the seal text in Gongsun's posthumous scroll is the path of Legalism, no matter how high your cultivation is, no matter how strong your strength is, as long as you don't know anything about the Legalist doctrine of this world and Gongsun Kong's "Principle of Law, Principle of Law", then even if you try your best to observe, at most you will see a vague shadow.

However, when He Zhi focused all his attention on these three seals, he found that these three seals gradually became clear in his sight!

Moreover, he even clearly felt the meaning of these three seals!

"Dragon", "Soul", "Demon"!

When He Zhi saw the meaning of these three seals, he no longer had any doubts, these three seals were absolutely inseparable from the evil dragon remnant soul!

If the remnant soul of the evil dragon wants to devour the Gongsun Scroll, it must use its own Dao to understand the Legalist way that contains the Gongsun Scroll.

And the evil dragon has the most profound understanding of both its own avenue and the Legalist avenue of Gongsun's relics, and it is also the easiest to tolerate each other, which is obviously the part that is most appropriate to its own state.

Dragons, souls, demons - this is the most complete description of the state of the evil dragon remnant soul for tens of thousands of years, and it should also be the most profound way for the evil dragon remnant soul to understand.

If the remnant soul of the evil dragon did not have time to assimilate all the Gongsun Relic Scrolls, then it first cracked the three seals in the Gongsun Relic Scroll, and it was extremely possible to assimilate them!

Only then did He Zhi suddenly realize why the remnant soul of the evil dragon was so easy before, and it seemed that he had not even made a decent resistance and struggle, and was "completely" refined by Gongsun Legacy.

At that time, He Zhi thought that this was because the power of Gongsun Relic was too strong, and it just happened to completely restrain the remnant soul of the evil dragon. But now it seems,

The previous scene where the remnant soul of the evil dragon was destroyed was just a trick, and the remnant soul of the evil dragon was playing the trick of the golden silkworm shedding its shell. It should have felt that it couldn't resist the refining of the Gongsun Relic Scroll, so it simply gave up most of its own strength, leaving the most core bit of the true spirit and mixing it into the Gongsun Relic Scroll, wanting to get out.

Moreover, for the evil dragon, once it was able to get out of it, it might be a blessing in disguise! Let its own Dao and the Dao of Gongsun Relic Scroll merge with each other, so as to break through the shackles and let its true spirit climb to a higher level.

As long as the true spirit breaks through the level and becomes an existence at the level of an earth immortal or even a heavenly immortal, then the soul power is just something that can be obtained by the evil dragon in the palm of his hand!

"Huh...... Your wishful thinking is shrewd. He Zhi couldn't help laughing, and without the slightest hesitation, he rushed directly towards the place where the three seals were!

He Zhi made a direct move, fishing for the three seals in Gongsun's posthumous scroll, wanting to catch the three seals in his hands.

However, He Zhi's move this time turned out to be much beyond He Zhi's expectations!

It's not that He Zhi failed after making a move - these seals in Gongsun's relics are also spiritual objects in the immortal realm, even if the seals infected by the evil dragon are a little dull, but He Zhi didn't expect that his blow would be effective.

However, what He Zhi didn't expect the most was that his blow was not missed, but was blocked by the big net formed by the other seal inscriptions of Gongsun Relic Scroll!

Of course, the Gongsun posthumous scroll itself did not intend to harm He Zhi, but only divided into hundreds of seals, forming a blocking force, preventing He Zhi from touching the three seals.

Moreover, when He Zhi came into contact with the big net formed by the Gongsun Scroll, he also felt a message from the Gongsun Scroll - young man, if you want to get the inheritance of a certain family, you have to accept the test of a certain family.

This message really made He Zhi feel crying and laughing. He Zhi's soul is essentially a modern visitor, and his understanding of the word "Fa" is completely different from that of the ancient Legalist masters?

However, the posthumous scroll left by Gongsun Kong obviously regards He Zhi as a junior who wants to accept the inheritance, and at the same time, he regards the three seal scripts of "Dragon", "Soul" and "Demon" as the inheritance part that He Zhi wants to get the most.

As a result, the formation of the entire Gongsun Relic Scroll changed at that time, from the original mode of searching for the remnant soul of the evil dragon to the mode of testing the inheritor.

He Zhi also suddenly realized that perhaps for the Gongsun Relic Scroll, finding the inheritor of Gongsun Kong and passing on the Legalist Avenue was the biggest task that Gongsun Kong left to the treasure of the "Gongsun Relic Scroll". As for destroying evil cults and protecting the human race, this is just Gongsun Kong's consistent philosophy. Helping scholars destroy the evil dragon is just practicing Gongsun Kong's concept, and testing He Zhi, the inheritor, is one of the meanings of its true existence.

Therefore, once it was discovered that He Zhi seemed to have the intention of accepting Gongsun Kong's idea, the Gongsun Relic Scroll immediately gave up the search for the evil dragon and began to complete its most important task.

However, the task that Gongsun Kong left in the posthumous scroll back then has now pitted He Zhi.

He Zhi really didn't have the heart to accept Gongsun Kong's concept, and as a modern person, he was incompatible with Gongsun Kong's concept of "serving the king with a hundred laws, and the king is the world". Even if He Zhi wants to accept it, where can he accept it in the meantime?

"Mr. Gongsun, Mr. Gongsun, you are doing this, but it is not easy to pit people!" He Zhi worked hard to deal with Gongsun's relics for a long time, but he was never able to break through the blockade of those seal inscriptions, and his heart was helpless.

The three-character seal inscription that was assimilated by the remnant soul of the evil dragon seemed to be out of the matter at this time, and it was suspended about seven or eight meters away from the other seal inscriptions of Gongsun Relic Scroll, as if it was making a silent mockery.

Moreover, He Zhi also noticed that the three-character seal inscription seemed to be secretly moving backwards, trying to stay away from the seal inscriptions of the other Gongsun relics.

"Damn!" He Zhi couldn't help but curse, and also shouted at the remaining seal inscriptions in Gongsun's posthumous scroll, "Master Gongsun, those seal inscriptions have been infected by demons, you should check them carefully, don't just stop me!"

However, the seal inscription of Gongsun's posthumous scroll obviously didn't believe He Zhi's words at all, but instead issued an idea, which probably meant that He Zhi, a young man, should be tested honestly and not be delusional.

He Zhi was made to cry and laugh by Gongsun's posthumous scroll, and he used his greatest strength to break through the blockade of Gongsun's posthumous scroll, but he was never successful.

And when He Zhi was entangled, the three-character seal inscriptions infected by the evil dragon scroll had already sneaked to a place almost ten meters away from the other seals of Gongsun Scroll.

In the end, when the other seal inscriptions of Gongsun Zhi's posthumous scroll happened to form a big net and were entangled with He Zhi, he suddenly turned his head and flew into the distance.

"Hell!" Seeing the movement of the three-character seal, He Zhi couldn't help but scold. And the spirituality of Gongsun Legame itself obviously did not expect such a thing to happen.

The three-character seal inscription, which belongs to the same source as it, will be out of the control of its own spirituality! As a result, the change of Gongsun's posthumous scroll also paused abruptly at this moment.

He Zhi took advantage of this opportunity to break through the blockade of Gongsun's posthumous scroll and chased after the three-character seal inscription.

However, He Zhi's speed is obviously far less flexible than the three-character seal. Under the chase and escape, the distance between the two sides was not shortened, but widened and widened!

He Zhi was very anxious in his heart, but he had no choice but to watch the three-character seal text fly towards the dense forest, and it was about to disappear into the forest.

However, just when He Zhi thought that he was powerless, and began to smile bitterly and think about how to report this matter to the upper echelons of the Associate Division as soon as possible, so that the Associate Division could send a powerful person of sufficient weight to deal with the threat of the evil dragon remnant soul as soon as possible, he suddenly heard a sword roar in his ears.

The next moment, He Zhi saw that the Qian Mu Sword that he had been carrying with him, but had never touched it much, suddenly came out of its sheath on its own, and with a fierce momentum, it caught up with the three-character seal text like lightning, and then slashed down with a sword!
