Chapter 108: The Crow Taoist and the Third Demon God Visualization Picture

Chapter 108 The Crow Taoist and the Third Demon God Visualization Picture

At daybreak, under the spiritual search of Fa Yue and Su Lianqing, Qingfeng Temple was searched inside and out, and the gold, silver, valuables, food and weapons in the temple were found.

After an inventory, Xu Qing and others discovered that some of these weapons and food actually came from the warehouses and arsenals of Jiangning Prefecture.

Some weapons and grain bags even had their markings not worn off.

Xu Qing's face twitched and he didn't know what to say.

After the inventory, the next issue was to deploy personnel to guard Qingfeng Temple.

These people are mainly divided into three parts. One part is the people who originally stayed in the Black Wind Village. These people were unwilling to go to sea with King Lin, so Xu Qing carefully selected a group of them to accept them. They all had families and businesses in Jiangning Prefecture and could not escape. Another part is the old people under Xu Qing, including the white servants of the government office, Guo Zhuang's clansmen, and the thugs of Yihetang. These people's lives and property are tied to Xu Qing, and their loyalty is very high. The third part is the martial monks of Jinguang Temple, a total of five.

There were also spies from the Lotus Sect left at the foot of the mountain, who opened a wine shop on the road and were responsible for monitoring travelers coming and going at the foot of Qingfeng Village.

It would take some time to sort out these matters, so Xu Qing stayed in Qingfeng Temple for the time being.

As for the old monk Yan Kong, he took some of the secret medicine from Qingfeng Temple and left immediately after finishing his work, but he left Fa Yue behind to help Xu Qing with worldly affairs.

Xu Qing vaguely realized that Old Monk Yankong seemed unwilling to leave Jinguang Temple for too long and that he also had some problems, so he did not persuade him to stay.

Yan Kong had indeed contributed greatly in this operation, and Xu Qing knew even more clearly that the strength displayed by the old monk was even somewhat reserved.

After all, he is a being with the ability to manifest his soul and practice martial arts. Taking his comprehensive strength into account, he might even be above King Lin.

However, Lin Tian’s martial arts are pure, and he is young and strong. In the life-and-death fight, Xu Qing currently cannot guess who has a better chance of winning.

In addition, when strong people fight each other and the difference in strength is not big, victory or defeat often lies in the details. A moment's change may be the difference between life and death.

In the secret room of Qingfeng Temple, a precious sword shines brightly.

Xu Qing looked at the precious sword for a long time, "Is this the Feathered Sword from Qingfeng Temple?"

Su Lianqing pulled out a strand of hair, dropped it onto the upward blade, and then blew gently, breaking the black hair into two pieces.

"It really is a magical weapon that can cut hair with a single blow." Xu Qing was full of praise. Fortunately, when he attacked Qingfeng Temple at night, no Taoist priest in the temple was carrying this sword, otherwise it would have really caused him trouble.

Such a powerful weapon could not be blocked by the Black Fox Robe and his current Golden Light Curse.

There are twelve levels of the Golden Light Curse, and Xu Qing has just reached the third level. This is because he has a good foundation and has taken spiritual medicine and yellow sorghum rice before. If there is no new spiritual medicine and he only relies on the remaining yellow sorghum rice, his progress will be much slower.

The Yuyi Sword is paired with the Qingfeng Sword Technique of the Qingfeng Temple. After Xu Qing saw it, he felt that the power of this sword technique was actually inferior to the Wuhu Duanmen Sword.

But the lightness and flexibility of Qingfeng's swordsmanship is worth Xu Qing's reference.

Although the Qingfeng sword technique is not very powerful, this shortcoming can be covered up if it is paired with the Yuyi sword that can cut hair with a single blow.

He picked up the feathered sword and came to the yard outside the secret room. It was now the time of spring and the beginning of summer. The sky was getting dark, and in the evening breeze, cicadas were singing and insects were chirping, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

Xu Qing recited: "Leaning on a stick outside the wooden door, listening to the cicadas in the evening wind."

This is the most exquisite move of Qingfeng swordsmanship.

When the sword is drawn, it blends into the sound of the wind, giving a feeling of being a free and unrestrained cloud and wild crane.

The knife light is graceful and melodious.

There was a locust tree in the courtyard, with lush branches and leaves, and a cicada was shedding its skin on the broad leaves. Xu Qing's knife flashed, and a cicada immediately broke out of its shell.

If you look closely, you will find a neat knife mark on the shell, but there is no scar on the body of the cicada that has just broken out of the shell.

If there were still people alive in Qingfeng Temple, they would be amazed when seeing Xu Qing's knife.

In terms of attainment in this move, apart from the founder of Qingfeng Temple, I am afraid no one can reach Xu Qing's current level.

Such exquisite swordsmanship demonstrates extremely terrifying control.

Xu Qing knew very well that if he did not have the Heaven-Repairing Hand as his innate magical power, even if he cultivated to the level of practicing internal organs, he would not be able to possess such terrifying control.

"This Heaven-Repairing Hand can be used to learn any hand weapon or martial arts in the world, which is as easy as eating and drinking. Even if used in surgery, it is a very terrifying golden finger." Xu Qing sighed secretly.

Of course, surgical operations need to rely more on external conditions, and precise techniques alone are still not enough.

In addition, the material of the Yuyi sword is very special. If the peach wood sword is heavy in nature, then the Yuyi sword is just the opposite. The blade is as thin as a cicada's wing, and even the handle is not very heavy.

Xu Qing didn't even need to perform any rituals to easily control it with his soul.

Of course, as a weapon used to drive away objects, the Yuyi sword is still far inferior to the peach wood sword.

The peach wood sword has another important advantage, that is, when the soul is deposited in the sword body, it can offset some of the damage to the soul caused by the masculine qi and blood. Moreover, when the soul is deposited inside, there is a feeling of entering the physical body, which is a function that other magic tools or weapons do not have.

In the final analysis, the peach wood sword is a special kind of vitality that was born after being struck by lightning.

"This sword is used to perform the Five Tigers Breaking Gate Knife. Since it is too light, the original ferocious power of the Five Tigers Breaking Gate Knife is greatly reduced. It's okay. It's a good opportunity to understand the martial arts trick of 'lifting light as if it were heavy'."

"Lifting heavy things as if they were light" and "Lifting light things as if they were heavy" are both near-superior force-generating techniques. After comprehending them, it will help you comprehend the wonder of "transforming strength" and thus advance to "training the internal organs".

Before practicing the internal organs, it is like forging iron, tempering the impurities in one's own martial arts. After practicing the internal organs, it is to gradually melt all kinds of martial arts into one furnace, just like refining elixir, to perfect one's own practice, and thus achieve the achievements of a martial arts master. Only in this way can one truly stand on the shoulders of predecessors and continue to open up a practice path that suits oneself.

Xu Qing stayed in Qingfeng Temple, reviewing the I Ching and improving his eight-part essays, striving for perfection. On the other hand, he took the secret medicine in Qingfeng Temple and practiced Xuantian Visualization Method and Golden Light Mantra with yellow rice, and read the practice notes of Qingfeng Temple in the past, and gave instructions to his subordinates.

As for mundane affairs, Su Lianqing and Fa Yue will take care of them.

As the leader, Xu Qing's presence here is enough to generate a strong centripetal force, making the people around him revolve around him.

It is like the stars in Ziweiyuan guarding Ziwei Star.

After opening up the Ziwei Emperor Meridian, Xu Qing's next hidden meridian to practice was the "Jiao" meridian among the seven meridians of the Eastern Canglong.

In the Ziwei Doushu natal chart, when the Ziwei star and the Jiao star are in the same palace, it is a good sign. Coincidentally, the Jiao meridian is also the first hidden meridian of the seven meridians of the Eastern Blue Dragon.

No matter whether it is good or bad, if it is beneficial to you, you should definitely believe in it.

If it is not good for me, then my fate is in my own hands.

In short, do your best and leave your destiny to fate.

Xu Qing was somewhat disappointed while reading the cultivation experience of Qingfeng Temple. Perhaps he had read too much of the martial arts of Dachan Temple, so when he read the cultivation experience of Qingfeng Temple, he felt that it was rough and some of the martial arts theories in it were simply nonsense.

It's like, he has read too many eight-part essays for the imperial examinations, and when he reads the eight-part essays for the prefectural and academy examinations, he will feel a sense of dissipation, "That's it"?
"A wise man will make mistakes in a thousand considerations, and a fool will gain something in a thousand considerations. Looking at these low-level cultivation experiences is actually a warning to your own cultivation."

He is now in a state of mind where he is already here, so even if the cultivation experience at Qingfeng Temple is bullshit, he will still finish reading it. What if he can find gold in the shit?

In fact, think about it, if the current emperor is fond of Taoism and Qingfeng Temple has a good foundation, he should just go to the capital to make his living there. Why should he stay in the marginal area of ​​Jiangning Prefecture in Nanzhili and serve as a peripheral minion of the Duke of Wei's Mansion?

When Xu Qing was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a "wow wow" sound.

Crows calling?
A doubt arose in his mind, and then the world before his eyes fell into darkness.

"Bold." Xu Qing immediately realized that this was an illusion.

But there was nothing to be afraid of. There was no black warning gas from the bronze mirror, which showed that the strength of the person coming was just that.

Xu Qing remained calm, and his mind visualized the "Purple Star".

The starlight was so bright that it swept away the darkness in an instant. Without thinking, Xu Qing used the peach wood sword and flew out of the window. Soon, he disappeared into the pine slope outside the temple and killed a flock of crows.

In a moment, more than a dozen crows fell to the ground.

Xu Qing appeared on a big pine tree, with flying swords circling around him. He looked coldly at the flock of crows in front of him, among which was the figure of a Taoist priest in black robes.

“You just used the Taoist Zhoutian Xingshen Temple. Are you a disciple of Chaotian Temple, or are you from Longhu Mountain or Laoshan…” The black-robed Taoist looked shocked and recited a long list of names of forces, all of whom are the giants of Taoism today.

In his impression, only the top Taoist forces have the method to visualize the star gods.

For example, hundreds of years ago, the Quanzhen Taoism had a method of visualizing the Tiangang and the Big Dipper, which was used to dominate an era.

However, his Taoist illusion was broken, and Can Nian only sensed the terrifying starlight that dispelled his own dark enchantment, but did not see what the stars that Xu Qing was visualizing were.

Xu Qing said calmly: "You can control crows. Is this a Taoist technique for taming beasts? It looks quite interesting." "This is the signature Taoist technique of our Heshan Taoism. You don't even know it. It seems you are not from a wealthy family." The Taoist in black robe was less afraid when he saw that Xu Qing didn't even recognize their Heshan Taoism's crow formation.

This time when he went down the mountain, he met the young master of the Duke of Wei, was treated well, and took on the assassination mission.

I didn't expect to hit a wall.

Fortunately, the other party doesn’t have a big background.

As for Xu Qing's court background, he was not afraid at all. Because Heshan Dao had close ties with the chieftains of Southern Xinjiang. For two hundred years, the court of Dayu had been trying to win over the chieftains of Southern Xinjiang, which made these Southern Xinjiang natives lack awe of the court.

Moreover, if something went wrong, they would hide in the Shiwan Mountains and the imperial court would be unable to do anything about it.

He was afraid that Xu Qing came from a big sect, and would be hunted down by those old immortals using their Taoist magic to track him for thousands of miles. It would be useless even if he escaped to the Shiwan Mountains at that time.

"Oh." Xu Qing said softly.

The Taoist in black robe kept his eyes on Xu Qing's flying sword. Suddenly, Xu Qing's figure disappeared from his sight.

He cried out in horror.

I found myself surrounded by a sea of ​​blood, and my nostrils were filled with the smell of blood.

"Rakshasa King." The Taoist in black robe exclaimed.

He saw a monster with three heads and six arms holding a saw wheel appear in the sea of ​​blood and rush towards him.

He whistled hurriedly, and with a hoarse and noisy sound, many crows appeared in the sea of ​​blood and gathered around the Rakshasa King.

The illusion of the Rakshasa King showed signs of breaking.

Before he could feel happy, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

The illusion before his eyes disappeared, and he felt his head hit the ground hard. In his blurred vision, he saw a headless body falling down.

"Is that my body?"

One last thought popped up in his mind.

At this time, the Rakshasa King and the Yaksha King appeared at the same time and attacked his remaining soul fiercely.

Directly dispersed the soul of the Taoist priest in black robe.

Immediately afterwards, crows fell from the sky one by one and died.

As usual, Xu Qing searched the body and felt the corpse.

Fa Yue and others also rushed over when the fight was going on. Seeing that Xu Qing quickly resolved the fight, they tactfully stood by.

Xu Qing found a painting from the black-robed Taoist priest.

He unfolded it and took a look. "A visualization diagram of Shura King, one of the five great demon gods?"

Xu Qing felt as if the gears of fate were turning.

...

...

Yingtian, Wuyi Lane, Duke of Wei’s Mansion.

"Master, the young master has been kneeling for a whole day, why don't you let him get up?"

In the study, a middle-aged man in brocade and gorgeous clothes, looking noble, was sitting. He stood up, his whole body straight, his body like a sculpture of gods and demons, tall and majestic.

The butler next to him respectfully handed over the purple gold crown.

"You little beast don't know your place. You will kill your family sooner or later. It's better for you to kneel here and die." The middle-aged man spoke indifferently to the prince who was kneeling outside the study door.

The chief steward advised: "The young master just couldn't hold back his anger for a moment. Xu Qing from Jiangning Prefecture is just a scholar. Killing him won't cause any harm."

Duke Wei glanced at the butler and said, "You don't have to excuse this evil beast. He is a small scholar, and we can kill him. But it depends on when. The memorial to change rice to mulberry has been sent to the capital. If we do it again, what will we be in the eyes of His Majesty? This is not a question of whether to kill him or not, this is a demonstration to His Majesty. In the eyes of His Majesty, what is the difference between such an action and rebellion?"

"Father, do you know how many wealthy and powerful people in Nanzhili are making fun of our family now? They all say that father is an old turtle, and I am so angry." The Prince of Wei said angrily.

Duke of Wei: "They said these things just to wait for your father to stand up for them. In the end, they got the benefits and your father took the blame, and you will be satisfied. Do you want to inherit the title of Duke's Mansion as soon as possible? If you do, you can take it now."

"I dare not." When the prince heard what his father said, he immediately nodded in agreement.

He knew very well that everything in the Duke's Mansion would belong to him in the future, including those beautiful concubines. But as long as his father was still alive, he could not have it.

Duke of Wei: "It's good that you don't dare. Remember, there are some things that you can't do just because you want to. There is only one sky in Nanzhili, and that sky is not us, but your Majesty. Go down and copy your Majesty's Imperial Instructions a hundred times and give it to me tomorrow."

"only."

The butler at the side hurriedly helped the prince up, his palms trembling, a sound that at least a master of internal medicine could produce, but now he was using it to push the prince's palace to bleed.

The prince did not appreciate it. He waved his hand to push away the butler, bowed to the Duke of Wei, and slowly walked out of the courtyard.

Duke Wei looked up at the sky and said, "Weiss."

"The old slave is here."

"In order to paralyze His Majesty over the years, I have cultivated Bo'er into such an arrogant person. I don't know whether it is right or wrong. But this time he sent people to Jiangning Mansion twice to vent the anger of the Duke's Mansion, which is actually not wrong."

"Then the old master will punish the young master."

"Our Majesty is too thoughtful. If I don't do anything, he will definitely think I am imitating Sima Yi. But if I send someone to kill that guy and fail, His Majesty will definitely think I am deliberately performing for him. So I can't not take action, but I can't kill him. In any case, the result of Bo'er's actions is just the right measure."

"But the news from the person that the young master was looking for the second time has not come back yet. How can the old master know that the other party will be fine?"

"I know the strength of the people in Qingyun Temple before. If it weren't for the experts at Lianzang level, they wouldn't have been completely wiped out. The demons of Heshan Dao don't know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is. After listening to Bo'er's instigation, there is no way they can succeed. They are just sending themselves to death."

"He is just a mere scholar, but he can command a master of fighting." The chief steward was quite surprised.

Duke Wei chuckled and said, "Jiangning Xu family."

He chewed on these four words carefully, seeming to savor them endlessly.

When the butler heard "Jiangning Xu", he felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite remember it.

Duke Wei continued calmly, "Since Bo'er has been punished by me this time, he naturally doesn't need to hang out with those bad friends anymore. It's time to teach him the 'Six Thieves Spirit Nourishing Method'." After he finished speaking, he threw a picture of green bamboo visualization to the butler.

The butler's hands were shaking as if he had obtained a rare treasure.

This is the world's best visualization method.

Even the abbot of Chaotian Temple once commented that, apart from the Xuantian visualization method of the Xuantian Taoist who was invincible a hundred years ago, in the world today, only the Eighteen Arhats Subduing Demons Visualization Pictures of the Dachan Temple and the authentic visualization methods of Taoist giants such as the Tianshi Dao can firmly suppress it.

Moreover, practicing the "Six Thieves Spirit Nourishing Method" also means that the Duke truly recognizes the status of the Crown Prince.

From then on, the prince's position was truly unbreakable.

"Look how excited you are. In fact, there are only invincible people, not invincible skills. Elder Fang has never practiced any known methods of cultivation in the world, but with his understanding of Taoist scriptures, he has realized the wonderful way of the transformation of heaven and man and the growth of all things, and has almost entered the realm of ghosts and immortals. How many people have achieved such an achievement in the past hundred years?" Duke Wei spoke of Elder Fang with both admiration and fear.

The reason why His Majesty has placed such a retired civil servant in Yingtian Prefecture is just to monitor him.

Don't look at the old guy, he looks like he is at the end of his life and will die at any time, he may live longer than him.

...

...

"Concentrate your energy and become gentle. Can you become like a baby?" Xu Qing did not look at the portrait of Shura King first, but focused his eyes on the line of words left below the seal of Lord Fang.

"This sentence comes from the Taoist scriptures. It must be very mysterious that Elder Fang wrote it here."
