Xiao Ziyang was speechless for a long time after reading the sacrificial training method of the Nine Sons Demon Infant, he really couldn't believe that there would really be someone in this world to refine such a terrible thing.

Without hesitation, he picked up the flying sword he had just learned to wield and smash the jade slip.

The storage bag of the Qingyangmen Taoist priest was even more shabby, in addition to a few bottles of elixir, a few stacks of rune paper, and more than a hundred spirit stones, there were only some strange things, what animal bones, animal skins, metal bumps, and even stones. It's inexplicable.

In the past two months, Xiao Ziyang has carefully studied the use of several magic weapons in addition to cultivation, and in "Purple Jade Smoke" and "Five Elements Dao Technique Preliminary Explanation", there are some general methods of cultivating magic weapons and controlling magic weapons.

The vast majority of the manipulation circles engraved on the middle and low-level magic weapons are simple and practical general magic circles, so there are very few situations where they cannot be practiced, and only some high-level and top-level magic weapons will appear some unique magic circles.

After experimenting one by one, Xiao Ziyang found that the method of sacrificial manipulation contained in "The Preliminary Solution of the Five Elements Dao Technique" was obscure and abnormal, while the method contained in "Purple Jade Smoke" was much better than the former in terms of flexibility, speed, and strength in controlling the magic weapon. Take the spirit boat as an example, with the method contained in "Purple Jade Smoke" to practice control, the flight speed of the spirit boat is actually a full thirty percent faster.

After comparison, Xiao Ziyang threw aside the "Preliminary Solution of the Five Elements Dao Technique". After two months of practice, Xiao Ziyang has mastered these three magic weapons quite proficiently.

Magic weapon control, because there is a ready-made magic circle, it is relatively simple to master, but the learning of spells makes Xiao Ziyang's head as big as a fight.

The three first-level spells contained in "Purple Jade Smoke", in addition to the Qi Hope Technique, which is very simple and easy to learn, the Invisible Slash and the Five Elements Escape Technique, Xiao Ziyang has only touched a little bit of the doorway so far; not to mention the extremely slow casting speed, it is still ineffective, and it cannot be used in actual combat at all.

The so-called casting of spells is actually to use mana to condense into Daowen in the dantian, and then combine several Daowen texts together, and release them through hand execution, which is a spell.

If you use the spell at the same time, with the lips, tongue and throat to shake the mana, and spit out the Dao sound corresponding to these words, it can not only increase the success rate of the spell cast, but also increase the power of the spell.

In the "Preliminary Explanation of the Five Elements of Taoism" and "The Smoke of the Purple Jade", each contains a basic sermon, and the basic sermons contained in the "Purple Jade Shengyan" contain more than 3,000 sermons, which is twice as many as the sermons contained in the "Preliminary Explanation of the Five Elements of the Dao".

The Taoist text is complicated, it is a strange combination of dozens of strokes, or even hundreds of strokes, and it cannot be the slightest bit worse when condensed, otherwise the condensed Taoist text will be meaningless.

The simplest first-level spells contained in the "Preliminary Explanation of the Five Elements Dao Technique" are all composed of three Taoist texts,

There are nine sermons that make up the invisible slash, and there are even twelve sermons that make up the invisible escape method, so it's no wonder that Xiao Ziyang was difficult to grasp for a while.

There is also a "Basic Formation" in "Purple Jade Smoke", but after Xiao Ziyang studied it for more than ten days, he still read the book of heaven and was not allowed to enter, so he had to give up.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still a few magic weapons to support the scene, Xiao Ziyang was afraid that when he encountered the enemy, he would have to use mortal martial arts to deal with the enemy.

The flying boat is faster than a galloping horse, and there are shields to protect the passengers inside. Although this shield does not have much protection ability, it is not a problem to block gale winds.

Xiao Ziyang looked at the lower part of the boat for a while, and as soon as the novelty passed, he retracted his gaze, sat cross-legged in the boat, and focused on controlling the flying boat and galloping towards Zhongshan City.

Xiao Ziyang's own mana is shallow, if he is allowed to use his own mana to urge the flying boat, his mana will be exhausted within a hundred miles, but fortunately, this flying boat is actually driven by spirit stones, and the monk only needs to use very little mana to control it.

This is also the biggest feature of the ritual weapon. The power of the magic weapon itself is all provided by spirit stones, and the control depends on the formation.

Only after the monk has formed a golden pill and opened the Purple Mansion can he slowly use the Dan Fire in the Purple Mansion to slowly practice the magic weapon that is connected with the heart and mind.

Even if someone can refine a magic weapon that is more powerful than a magic weapon, it can't be compared to a magic weapon. In front of the magic weapon that moves at will, the magic weapon is just the object of play.

This flying boat can travel thousands of miles in one night, costing one wind spirit stone. Along the way, Xiao Ziyang traveled at night and stayed overnight, and returned to Longkou Town again late the next night.

Xiao Ziyang slowly slowed down the speed of the spirit boat in a sparsely populated place more than ten miles away from Longkou Town, and as the speed decreased, the spiritual light emitted by the spirit boat gradually converged until it loomed.

He landed on a deserted river beach, put away the spirit boat, and unfolded his body and sped towards Longkou Town.

The Xiao family's old mansion still seems to be the same. In late spring, the artemisia grass grows more vigorously.

Xiao Ziyang followed his memory, stepped on the tip of the grass, and came to the open space in his memory, a grave, a few residual incense, and the artemisia grass on the ground seemed to have been cleaned up again.

He pondered silently in front of the grave for a moment, then unfolded his body and walked around the house, finding no sign of the house except that the path had been cleared.

Xiao Ziyang came to the small building closest to the mound, flew to a window on the second floor, climbed the rafters under the eaves, pushed open the window, and turned in.

Entering the room, Xiao Ziyang slowly walked around, carefully observing the ground and walls. The house was empty, dusty except for a few rotten books scattered on the floor.

Xiao Ziyang carefully checked around the room, and suddenly showed an inexplicable smile on his face, as if he had found the answer he wanted.

He cleared a clean space, spread a coarse cloth, and meditated with his eyes crossed.

Xiao Ziyang remembers that when he was a child, every year on the third day of April, his father would take him to burn some paper money in the backyard, and after burning the paper money, he would take him to kowtow respectfully to the southeast. Every time Xiao Ziyang asked his father who he was burning paper for, he always answered silently.

Now that I think about it, it should be paper money burned for my grandfather. The third day of April is probably Grandpa's death day.

Today is March 27, and there are still seven days left until the seventh day of April.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

A crescent moon hangs in the sky, the stars are dotted, and the night is getting darker.

Xiao Ziyang, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

Outside the back door of the Xiao family's deserted house, a flat boat docked on the dock. In the silence of the night, the sound of the boat crashing as it docked could be heard far away.

It was a man in black wearing a hat who gently jumped onto the pier, tied the cable, stepped through the collapsed back door, and walked into the Xiao family's deserted house.
