Chapter 81: Changes in Fenggu
Chapter 81: Changes in Huifeng Valley
"Can you see their moves, fellow Daoist?"
Chu Tai asked casually.
Wu Chaoxi sneered repeatedly.
"The hanging business has some real skills, but it also learns the divine fighting method, which is half sharp and half fishy. If you set up a medicine case, you will definitely be a pickpocket."
"Cai Lizi does have some real skills, but unfortunately he didn't learn many big tricks. He got fancy with the small tricks, and his mind went astray, and his kung fu started to go towards three hands."
"As for those few bastards, they are even worse. Some of them raise belly fairies, some raise belly ghosts. They are just using some tricks to raise little ghosts, wasting their own energy."
"As for their methods..."
Wu Chaoxi paused, thought for a long time before saying: "It does have some traces of ancient witchcraft."
"Do you suspect that there are cultivators from the ancient witch lineage involved? No, although the Five Varieties Sect is related to the ancient witch path, they have long been independent and belong to the side sects. There is no substantial connection between the two."
Chu Tai did not answer Yaxian's question immediately. He continued to wander around Guanglu City, silently calculating many kinds of qi.
The [Wandering Scholar] he controls has the ability to deduce fate and observe feng shui.
By observing the layout of the entire city, the layout of each street and each house, and the number of people in the house, Chu Tai can see a lot of things.
Some neighborhood disputes are caused by their true personalities, while some family unrest is caused by external interference.
During this process, Chu Tai also found that he had made some unexpected breakthroughs in his mastery of [Wandering Scholar].
Come to think of it, traveling itself is also a form of spiritual practice.
Traveling out to seek the truth and ask for the truth can be called wandering.
Therefore, studying, communicating, preaching, imparting knowledge and protecting the Dharma can all be considered part of wandering.
After Chu Tai realized the last ability of [Wanderer], he was too focused on leaving rumors and creating spells in various places.
If you think about it carefully, traveling is not a show, it is not about seeking outside, but about using the outside to look inward.
Combining the fifth-grade laws and principles he had sensed previously, Chu Tai, who was walking in the city, suddenly felt that he seemed a little biased.
If a rumor is left in a place, does it have to be publicized to the public?
Is it necessary to borrow the wonderful Qi of human origin?
"I have clearly sensed before that the essence of the Wanderer's ability to create magic is earth, faith, and law."
'Earth is a place, a region, and a vein; faith is belief, faith, and will; Dharma is just the concrete manifestation of the two under the interference of an external force like me.'
'So, why should I limit myself to myself? Must I leave my mark in a place and use the power of a local vein?'
"Is it not possible for me to create new laws based on the existing faith?"
Chu Tai stretched out his hand and began to use his spiritual sense to try to detect other rumors and information about this land, but he fell short every time.
Once, twice...
Wu Chaoxi vaguely felt that there was some change in the atmosphere around Chu Tai.
The originally smooth feathers became a little fluffy, and he stared at Chu Tai with a surprised expression.
At the same time, in Chu Tai's mind, [Face Reading] which was suppressed by the Donghuang Bell was emitting little streams of light.
Obviously, it was not absorbed by Chu Tai, but as the prayer words on the wall of the bell flickered, Chu Tai also gained some ability of [face reading] and saw something called "fate".
Through "fate", Chu Tai saw the past, present, and possible future intersections of many people in Guanglu City.
The pupils began to become transparent, and the light of the sun and the moon settled in them, like gold, silver and glass. The original idea of exploring the rumors was replaced by the idea of exploring "fate".
He glanced around, and Wu Chaoxi, who was swept by him, hurriedly spread his wings to avoid his sight. At the same time, a stream of Yin Qi fell, reducing the presence of the two.
The concerned "Gua Zi Hang", "Cai Li Zi" and "Za Liu" did not react. A lot of information emerged in Chu Tai's eyes. He saw that their "fate" fell here by coincidence, and was also connected to Guanglu City by coincidence, becoming a series of suitable nodes.
'Behind these nodes, there seems to be something pushing these connections in a bad direction...'
Chu Tai wanted to see more clearly, and the light of the sun and moon in his pupils became brighter and brighter.
[Face Reading] The flowing light gradually merged into one, eager to try, as if to jump out of the suppression of the Donghuang Bell.
The inscription on the wall of the bell gradually became clearer, and the bell began to tilt slightly.
Wu Chaoxi realized something was wrong and suddenly let out a shrill cry.
Chu Tai only felt a thin awl piercing into his brain, and he woke up instantly.
The Donghuang Bell in his mind returned to its original position, and the prayer words on the wall of the bell became illusory again.
[Face Reading] The flowing light quickly dimmed, and it seemed as if nothing had happened before.
But Chu Tai knew something was wrong, so he bowed to Wu Chaoxi to express his gratitude.
"Thank you fellow Taoist for helping me."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and a water mirror appeared in front of him. When he looked up, his pupils were already tinged with a hint of gold and silver.
While silently moving the true Qi and suppressing the remaining magic power in his pupils, Wu Chaoxi fell on his shoulders again, staring at the pupils that were gradually recovering in the water mirror.
"What happened to you just now? At first I thought you were about to break through, but then I felt something was wrong."
"Your previous state was more like you were trapped in a maze during your practice, or your true energy was polluted by the laws and principles of a foreign land."
"Are you feeling better now?"
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Wu. If it weren't for you, I would be in big trouble now."
As he spoke, Chu Tai took out the alienated true Qi left by Fu Guang from his arms. When his breath changed just now, the spirituality of this thing quickly recovered and became active.
Wu Chaoxi, who saw this, misunderstood the reason and said with some fear: "Why do you carry this thing with you? It's better to refine it into a magic weapon as soon as possible."
"There's just no time."
While Chu Tai was explaining, he reinforced the seal, and then told Wu Chaoxi some of the things he had seen previously.
"Are you saying that you have seen that the fate of this city is heading in a bad direction due to the interference of a certain existence?"
When he said this, Wu Chaoxi felt a little desperate.
A small detail can reveal a big picture. Given the current situation in the State of Chu, it is impossible that there is only one city with problems.
Since this problem occurred in Guanglu City, it is very likely that the entire Chu State is in this situation.
The ability to interfere with the "fate" of a country, whether in concept or in subtle control, is not something that an ordinary fifth-grade cultivator can do. The means behind the scenes are terrifying when one thinks about it carefully.
If there is any chance to leave, this crow fairy will not stay here any longer.
Chu Tai, who was also aware of the terrifying situation behind the scenes, met with Taoist Dachun and told him some of the inside story. After that, he set off for Sanqing Mountain to tell Taoist Cuihuang about his latest discovery.
Wu Chaoxi, knowing Chu Tai's idea, wanted to stop it, but it just spread its wings and then put them down without saying anything more.
What neither of them expected was that they received a message from Taoist Cuihuang halfway before they reached Sanqing Mountain.
The content is very simple.
"Something has happened in Huifeng Valley, and Fellow Daoist Han Shang has passed away."
In this chapter, the words "zhen" and "jian" refer to the moves that have been learned from famous masters and practiced for many years. "Xing" refers to the fake moves that fool the laymen. "Tiaojianghan" refers to the kind that sells powerful pills and the three-fingered thief. The definitions of "Duxian" and "Dugui" have been changed.
