Chapter 391 Back off, I’m going to start showing off.
Chapter 391 Back off, I’m going to start showing off.
Autumn passes and winter comes.
Waterside pavilion.
The cloth shoes floated on the water, then fluttered and turned into a carp and dived into the water.
"The magic is really amazing."
No matter how many times I have seen it, I still can't help but sigh.
"There are many strange people and things in the world, and the world of martial arts encompasses everything." Long Er came over and stopped beside Hong Dou, "We should be happy that he has this ability."
The recent days have been peaceful, and Hongdou has gradually become aware of Tan Wenjie's abilities.
Only then did I realize that everything he had said to me before was actually true.
"He is going to attend the Heavenly Master Conference and go to Fengdu. Is Fengdu the underworld?" Hongdou couldn't help but look at Long'er.
"It's just a battle between wizards named Fengdu. I've heard of it in Jianghu, but..."
The second half of the sentence was not said.
But those unorthodox methods were nothing, who would have thought that Tan Wenjie actually knew real magic.
"I see."
The two looked at each other in silence, because Tan Wenjie also said that he would go to Fengdu to fight and earn the title of Heavenly Master, and then leave this world and become an immortal.
Naturally, she couldn't stop her man from becoming an immortal.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a voice.
"It seems I came at the wrong time."
The two turned around and saw Tan Wenjie standing not far away watching them.
"You've come at the perfect time!" Hongdou waved, "I just wanted to ask you a question."
Tan Wenjie reached out and hugged the two of them. As long as you are thick-skinned enough, anything is possible.
It just so happens that he is a little bit thicker than ordinary people, which is an insignificant advantage of his.
"Don't they say that if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit?" Hongdou asked, "Why don't you take us to heaven with you?"
Hey, didn’t you just shout that you were going to heaven last night? Why are you going to heaven again now?
"Yeah, so it makes sense for me to leave with the chicken."
Hongdou looked at him angrily, and he changed his words, "Talent is very important, and I am still a long way from becoming an immortal. The most I can do is to be called a Heavenly Master."
"Can you come back? I heard that one day in heaven is one year on earth." Hongdou asked worriedly.
"So bad?" Tan Wenjie was surprised. "It's a waste of time. I won't go."
Hongdou wanted to explain again that she would not even trade the chance of becoming an immortal for the emperor. Looking at the historical records of how many powerful people were afraid of death and went around looking for elixirs, such an opportunity must not be missed, even a one in ten thousand chance must be seized.
"Okay, Ajie, stop teasing her and be careful when you go there."
"Be careful."
Tan Wenjie nodded repeatedly.
He never took the mages gathering in Fengdu to fight seriously. He was considered a big player who returned to the wild area of the novice village to kill monsters. He just envied the reward, as not every Taoist priest could be called a heavenly master.
"I'll go back and find some elixirs for you to eat."
This is actually nothing. In the future, the level of the [Secret Realm] will become higher and higher. Sooner or later, you will encounter the golden elixir peach that can make people immortal and ascend to heaven instantly. Even if you don't eat it, you can live hundreds of years longer by taking it back and smelling it.
Mr. Tan is just lustful, but he never does anything to disown himself.
We were admiring the cloth shoes on the water when we suddenly heard footsteps behind us.
"It seems I came at the wrong time."
Tan Wenjie turned his head and looked at Zhu Xiaoqian, his cheap mother-in-law.
This line is not suitable for you!
"Yes, you came at the wrong time." Hongdou didn't give her mother any face at all.
"Uncle~"
"Does mother-in-law have anything to ask?"
"I heard that you know where the treasures of the Qing Dynasty are hidden," she ignored her daughter's gaze, "I don't want much, I just want to sneak in and grab a handful, and get some money for my retirement. Otherwise, I'll be embarrassed to always ask you to give me more money."
"That place must be heavily guarded." Hongdou fully demonstrated with her actions what it means for a girl to be extroverted. Even if it was not her family's money, she did not want Tan Wenjie to take the risk.
"Nothing." Tan Wenjie said, "Under the Eastern Suburbs Imperial Tomb, there is the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty. There are countless gold and silver inside."
"Dragon vein?" Long Er suddenly said, "If the dragon vein is destroyed, the Qing Dynasty will perish."
"I have already informed Chen Jinnan. It's up to him to decide what to do. If the Tiandihui wants to take action, it will probably happen in the next few days."
There is a price to pay for destroying the dragon vein. The centipede demon dare not take it by force and can only transform himself into a guardian of the country and take it slowly. Tan Wenjie will not think that his life is too long and deliberately intervene to seize it.
Dragon energy may sound useful, but in reality it is of little use, and he has no dragons to raise.
Tan Wenjie's eyes suddenly fell on the carp swimming in the water.
There are no dragons to raise for the time being.
"What!" Zhu Xiaoqian's face changed drastically. "If you go too late, you won't even be able to drink the hot soup. I'll leave first."
Looking at her mother who turned and walked away, Hongdou shouted, "Be careful!"
"understood--"
"My mother-in-law's martial arts skills are probably one of the best in the world." Tan Wenjie looked at the figure that disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At the magician's meeting, Tan Wenjie set out alone.
In Fengdu City, magicians gathered.
There were all kinds of people with strange looks, such as dwarfs, lame men, hunchbacks, etc. Tan Wenjie, wearing his formal clothes, looked out of place in the crowd.
There are no requirements for entry, you can enter as long as you say you are a mage.
"Did they add liquid nitrogen to the ground?" Tan Wenjie turned his head and looked around. There was fog on the ground and the air was gloomy all around.
The people around were also talking about it, and everyone who came wanted to take the title of Heavenly Master.
Suddenly, the gate of Fengdu City opened, and a black-faced Zhong Kui came with five ghosts.
"what!"
Suddenly someone in the crowd exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention.
"You're not scared already, are you? Haha." Someone immediately laughed.
The man covered his mouth and kept grumbling as he stared at Tan Wenjie. Ever since his cloth shoes were stolen, he could no longer do his previous spiritual business. When he saw Tan Wenjie again today, he knew that he was definitely no match for him.
If you don't want to suffer, it's better to turn around and leave. However, the grand event where wizards gather to fight is held every ten years, and a heavenly master is selected. It is a great honor, and it would be a pity to just give up.
The black-faced wizard dressed as Zhong Kui has spoken: "The Heavenly Masters' Meeting takes place once every ten years, and the gates of hell in Fengdu City are opened. Wizards of all sizes come on time, and each uses their magic power to show their magical powers. The judge sits on the battlefield and is fair and impartial, and will not show mercy to those who violate the law!"
He is the referee of the first game of this competition.
"First level, get the spoon from the oil pan!"
All mages must have their hands locked and take out the key from the boiling oil pan to unlock it before they can pass the first level.
Tan Wenjie locked his hands consciously.
"Is it possible to open the lock without using magic?"
“Hahahaha!” The wizard dressed as Zhong Kui with a black face laughed out loud, “If you can open the lock, you can even use your teeth to bite it!”
The people around burst into laughter.
Even a martial arts master would probably not be able to break free from an iron chain as thick as a finger.
Only the man who had met Tan Wenjie before had a strange expression.
Tan Wenjie looked around. Most of these mages were marginal figures in the martial arts world, otherwise they would not have failed to recognize his face. Suddenly, his gaze paused.
It turned out to be Qimen, whom I had met once before, and the old woman standing next to him was probably Dunjia.
The Bat Wizard was killed by himself, and the tree roots were not harmed, so I guess they would not encounter Qi Men Dun Jia.
Qimen and Dunjia are probably the two strongest wizards here.
He was not in a hurry to unlock it for the moment, and planned to see the abilities of the two first.
As a rabbit fell into the frying pan with a key in its mouth, a group of people immediately gathered around the edge of the pan.
Qimen and Dunjia attacked together. The two men looked gray-haired and walked unsteadily, but in fact they knocked down a group of people in a few shakes, and only the two of them were left around the pot.
The people present were not blind and knew they could not defeat the two old guys.
"A third hand?"
A third hand suddenly stretched out from Qimen's arms and fished around in the oil pan. Just as she saw the key, Dunjia kicked it away with her three-inch little foot. She turned over flexibly and when she landed on the ground, the key was unlocked with a "click".
He smiled triumphantly at Qimen, then walked towards the wizard dressed as Zhong Kui and showed his hands.
"Pass!"
Tan Wenjie no longer hesitated. He pulled with both hands and the iron chain as thick as his fingers broke immediately.
What a fuss! You can tear it apart with just your strength, why use magic?
Facing the surprised and doubtful looks of the crowd, he strode towards the wizard dressed as Zhong Kui and showed his hands.
"Pass!"
Enter the second level and cross the paper bridge.
There is a poisonous snake under the paper bridge. If you take a wrong step, you will be doomed. Tan Wenjie stared at the snake for a while. He has never been interested in snakes, centipedes and other things. Of course, if the snake could turn into a beautiful woman, that would be another matter.
Dunjia used a paper butterfly to pull himself across the bridge.
Tan Wenjie glanced behind him, then looked at the escape armor that was already halfway there.
If I destroy all the paper bridges here and then jump over with a big jump, I will have no competitors at all.
"Fortunately, Long Er and Hong Dou didn't come, otherwise they could also compete for the Five Thunders Heavenly Master Order."
With inner strength, anything from taking a spoon from an oil pan to crossing a paper bridge is easy.
Although Longhu Mountain is one of the main organizers, this world is not even considered low-level magic. The steps are complicated and the techniques are numerous, but it is overshadowed by martial arts.
Dunjia happened to look back and nodded slightly to him.
Tan Wenjie took two steps back, ran quickly and then jumped. Under Dunjia's astonished gaze, he crossed the snake pit and jumped over the paper bridge.
"Second level, passed!"
Is this over?
Is that magic? It's amazing that you can jump far.
It was not just Dunjia, the same was true for the other mages who served as referees. They did not see Tan Wenjie demonstrate his magic, they only saw him pulling open the chains with brute force and quickly jumping over the snake pit.
Oh no, someone with martial arts skills has sneaked in and is causing trouble.
The three mages guarding the third level looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.
If one still relies on brute force to break through, an extra match must be held and the Five Thunders Heavenly Master Order will naturally only be given to the mage.
Tan Wenjie has already reached the third level.
"The third level, knock on the gate to get the order!"
Tan Wenjie looked to the back, where the Five Thunders Heavenly Master's Order was placed on top, with a dancing lion guarding next to it. It was unclear whether it was the lion pretending to be Manjusri Bodhisattva or Di Ting.
The mages acting as referees here include bald monks and Taoist priests, and it is hard to tell which sect they belong to.
Looking forward, I saw the words "I Am the Only One" written on the plaque on the gate.
It seems that in order to obtain the Five Thunders Heavenly Master Order, only one person can be left to take the token.
We have to fight it out no matter what.
At this time, Qimen had also crossed the paper bridge, and there were even six or seven other people crossing the paper bridge.
There was a steady stream of people following behind, and most of them were not tripped by the oil pan at the first level.
Because Tan Wenjie and Dunjia passed the levels too quickly, those mages who wanted to use some tricks had to put their minds at ease and speed up, which resulted in too many people gathering at the third level.
"Boy, nice to meet you again." Qimen stroked his goatee and squinted at Tan Wenjie.
He was regretting not accepting Tan Wenjie, who had a peculiar destiny and seven stars under his feet, as his disciple. Now only the two old guys could attend the celestial master meeting, but he didn't expect to meet him again today.
Tan Wenjie raised his hand: "Please." The mages next to him also fought in pairs, with great tacit understanding.
However, this tacit understanding disappeared when Qimen was gently pushed back more than ten steps by Tan Wenjie and then fell to the ground with his butt.
They had great tacit understanding and chose to attack Tan Wenjie first.
Only by killing the strongest one first can everyone have a chance to win.
A wizard suddenly threw two paper plates with both hands and nailed them to the wall behind Tan Wenjie, then picked up a big knife and chopped off his two legs.
The bystanders were shocked when they saw this, and were not in a hurry to attack.
"Go, go, go~"
The wizard instructed the two legs to move towards Tan Wenjie, but Tan Wenjie bent down and picked up the two invisible lines beside him. He pulled them with a little force and threw the paper plate into the snake pit, and the two legs followed it into the snake pit.
"My legs, my legs!" The man fell to the ground screaming, his little eyes rolling around.
It turned out to be a silver-plated spear head, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Another person held his breath, and his body swelled bigger and bigger, and he actually started to fly.
However, he did not attack Tan Wenjie, but went straight to the Five Thunders Heavenly Master Order.
The lion suddenly opened its mouth, and a beam of light came out from the Bagua mirror in its mouth, hitting the wizard flying in the sky. With a "bang", the wizard's body broke into pieces.
Everyone shrank their necks when they saw this.
It’s better to just fight honestly.
Suddenly, a flying knife came at him with a "whoosh" sound, and Tan Wenjie dodged it by tilting his head.
"Ouch, you used so much force, my old bones almost broke." Qimen got up from the ground, hooked his finger lightly, and the flying knife was pulled back by the fishing line.
Dunjia turned around and turned into the appearance of Qimen. One of the two Qimen used flying knives, and the other used fists and feet in close combat, and they cooperated with each other tacitly.
With a "whoosh", the flying knife pierced Tan Wenjie's neck and his head fell off.
Everyone was about to be surprised, but they saw Tan Wenjie's head fly up again and slowly fall back to his neck. He held his head with both hands and turned it as if aligning it with a buckle.
Why are his spells different from ours?
Dunjia rushed forward and punched him, but was kicked in the stomach by Tan Wenjie and flew backwards immediately.
No matter how mysterious the trick is, if it meets brute force, it will be doomed if it can't withstand it.
Everyone at the scene has already understood that if Tan Wenjie is not dealt with today, no one will be able to obtain the Five Thunders Heavenly Master Order, so they should all go back and wait for another ten years.
Every one of them is either disabled or has a congenital disease. They are born with disabilities and the probability of living another ten years is not high.
"Let's go together!"
"Yin Yang Division Method!"
Suddenly, there was another version of himself next to Tan Wenjie, who looked exactly like him, making it difficult to tell the real one from the fake one.
Someone was quick-witted and said, "The real body has a shadow, but the fake body has no shadow!"
When facing the clone, he made hand gestures and pointed his sword at them, but he ignored them.
"puff!"
One person flew backwards.
"Puff puff puff!!"
The four of them flew backwards.
Someone else took the opportunity to get close to the fake body and launched a sneak attack with a punch, but the clone raised his hand to block it.
"How come the clone is also real?"
The clone made a hand gesture and Samadhi True Fire burned from his fingertips. As he turned his hand, it turned into a fire python and wrapped around himself.
The mages who were watching as referees: "..."
You are so awesome, you should take this position.
They have never learned such a cool spell.
One of the three had a twinkling look in his eyes and said to the other two: "My junior fellow Taoist Zui said he met a powerful person, who seemed like a land immortal."
"Could it be?" X2
The three of them remained silent and just watched the fight.
Although the clone did not get much magic power, including the extra bonuses from Tan Wenjie, it was able to use the magic weapons thrown by Tan Wenjie.
The staff could emit flames and stir up the Samadhi Fire, forcing the mages to retreat continuously.
When he got to the snake pit, he waved his hand and drew a wall of fire.
Blocked by the firewall, I couldn't go in and could only squeeze back.
More and more people retreated to the paper bridge, and it collapsed immediately.
"Ouch!"
The scene was chaotic.
But then the two Qimen Dunjia came out from the fire wall again, hugged each other and approached Tan Wenjie.
"Two ghosts wrestling?"
The clone clenched his fist to catch the thunder, and with a loud "boom" a big hole appeared on the ground.
"No more fighting, no more fighting!" Dunjia stood up, "I still want to live a few more years."
She fought for a long time but didn't even touch the main body. She had already used up all her moves and was exhausted and out of breath. Those tricks were not suitable for her to show off.
"Let's try. Maybe all my abilities are in my clone, and I have no abilities at all."
"I have lived for decades, don't try to fool me!" Dunjia wiped the sweat off his face and turned away.
She has been fighting for nothing until now and still can't tell that the other person is just joking with her.
After everyone left, he looked at the mage who was still on the ground holding his leg and shouting "My leg".
The other party jumped up with a start.
"I'll jump myself!" He backed to the snake pit and dived in.
Tan Wenjie strode towards the Five Thunders Heavenly Master Order, but was blocked by the Seven Star Wooden Stake containing the Qi Men Dun Jia. After a series of changes, the Seven Star Wooden Stake turned into a wooden man.
With one kick, the wooden man fell apart.
After taking down the Five Thunders Heavenly Master's Order, he felt relieved and wanted to yawn.
The leader of Longhu Mountain: "..."
"Congratulations, new Heavenly Master!" X3
The magicians Qimen, Dunjia and others also congratulated in unison.
With the Five Thunders Heavenly Master's Order, one can command all the magicians in the world. In the eyes of the martial arts masters who are high up in the world, they are just small figures who can perform some magic tricks.
In the final analysis, it is just the lower-class people banding together for warmth.
Tan Wenjie took a look at the Five Thunders Heavenly Master's Order and immediately turned his gaze to the lion dance on the side. The bright red lion was very festive and it happened to be Tan Wenjie's favorite color.
Looking inside again, I found that there was really someone hiding there.
Suddenly he lost interest.
"In that case, I should leave too."
Tan Wenjie grabbed the Five Thunders Heavenly Master's Order and nodded, and suddenly a strong light burst out from his head.
Suddenly hearing him speak, everyone looked over subconsciously and were dazzled by the strong light. By the time they reacted, the person had disappeared without a trace.
"Ascended?"
Everyone looked at him eagerly.
Those who obtain the Five Thunder Heavenly Master's Order can ascend to heaven. In the next ten years, they will come at the risk of their lives!
……
Tan Wenjie opened his eyes.
Completing the task will earn you 1000 magic coins and 20000 experience points, which is nothing.
The biggest gain of this trip was the pure power that Long Er brought him, which helped him improve his physical strength. Now his physical strength has reached 440 points. It is still far from enough to carry mountains and run around in the sun, but he can use his strength to demolish houses and throw stones with his bare hands, which is no less powerful than a cannonball.
The first time is the Tianshi skin.
[Tianshi (skin), mana limit +100%, inherent deterrence to ghosts; skin comes with magic weapon: Tianshi Seal·Tianshi Conquering Demons (Talisman Damage +50%)]
Tan Wenjie walked to the full-length mirror, and his body was suddenly wrapped in a bright red robe, which made his face look a little whiter.
There is a seal on the right hand. Turn it over and you will see "Heavenly Master Conquers the Devil" written on it.
Although he had not eaten deliberately to get big and fat, he had an extraordinary physique and looked intimidating without even showing any anger when he put on the robe.
These did not surprise him. The real surprise was that after putting on the Heavenly Master's skin, he did not turn into anything else. Not a centipede, not a tree, and not a ghost wrapped in a tattered cloth bag. He was still Tan Wenjie.
After taking off his Heavenly Master robe, he suddenly felt a little sluggish and uncomfortable. After all, the upper limit of his magic power that he had just expanded was drained away, and he seemed to become weak suddenly.
……
As the Tan mansion expanded again and again, a group of maids and servants came into the high-walled courtyard.
The new maid seemed to have entered a city within a city. Following her sister-in-law who was leading the way, she felt a little dizzy. It seemed like there were walls one after another, and it was difficult to get out once she entered.
But I also feel that if I can eat and drink well every day, it would be like living in heaven. What difference does it make whether I go out or not?
"Pray to God, pray to God, pray to Buddha sincerely to pray to the spirit~"
"Sister-in-law, why is someone singing?" The maid was curious. "The singing is quite beautiful."
"It's the master." The old sister-in-law who led the way said, "You don't understand. The master worships the gods every day, fasts and bathes for a few days every month, and even doesn't touch the ladies. Our master is the most respectful of the gods. I heard that the master is blessed by the God of Wealth, otherwise how can he make so much money every day?"
The little maid nodded and tilted her head to listen, but the old sister-in-law who was leading the way grabbed her wrist and pulled her away. She was as malnourished and thin as a chicken, and she didn't even have a chance to struggle before the big and strong old sister-in-law grabbed her away.
The singing inside suddenly stopped.
"Master!" The old sister-in-law greeted him quickly and pulled the maid at the same time.
The little maid also called out "Master", but couldn't help but look up.
Although the walls were high and the courtyard was large, they could not stop the master's ears. She knew that the master could not tolerate any injustice. Moreover, he was famous at a young age and never showed mercy when killing bandits, tyrants, etc.
If someone in the mansion committed a crime, they would go straight to the police station. Coincidentally, the police station was also his, and he was also the mayor. He was everything.
While there are disadvantages, there are naturally advantages as well. The welfare is good, there is enough food and clothing, and there is not much work to do every day. As long as you follow the rules and do your job well, it is not much different from retirement life. You only have to take care of food and drink, and defecating and urinating are all solved with Western toilets.
"Newly recruited?" Tan Wenjie was in a good mood and nodded to the little maid.
"Yes." The old sister-in-law nodded, "It was sent to Madam Ningshuang's yard."
"She is active and aggressive, so she needs to be assigned some younger and more lively ones."
Nodding again, Tan Wenjie turned and left.
"There are too many women in the yard. It's a close call."
When he prayed to God, he also decided that four days later would be an auspicious day and time. There was nothing good to draw in the world of "The Thousand Faces of Dunjia", but after all, it was not easy to open an exclusive prize pool, and it would be a waste if it was not used.
There is no way to spend all the legal money.
Four days passed in a flash, and Tan Wenjie learned to be an ascetic monk, avoiding women as much as possible.
The ladies in the mansion all knew that he must be practicing martial arts again, which happened a few times every month, and only lasted a few days.
Ten draws in a row.
Highest purple.
[Carp Cloth Shoes (Equipment·Shoes): Cloth shoes turn into carp, Features: Fits well (comfortable and won't fall off)]
【Chariot Wheel (Weapon/Magic Instrument/Equipment)...】
[Bone Necklace (Magic Instrument/Equipment·Necklace), Bone Arm, Third Hand]
[Five Thunder Celestial Master's Order +5 (Magic Weapon): Thunder Damage +4]
[Lion Dance +1 (Equipment): Auspicious (Luck +1), Fortune (Wealth +1), Gold Magic Damage +1, Gold Magic Resistance +1, Gold Magic Comprehension +1, Passive Skill: Exorcism (Attack the enemy to restore 5% of the damage caused). ]
I drew 5 Five Thunder Master Orders and 2 Lion Dances, both of which are purple, which is already a profit.
All that's left is green.
There is a mysterious connection. If you continue to draw, you will lose money. So stop while you are ahead.
