……
The market town in the south of Jiugu City.
The round-faced man Zhang Wuqing stood in the middle of the street, looking around blankly.
"Wasn't he here just now? How come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
He still felt that there was something wrong with the guy with the red flower on his head.
The problem was that he couldn't remember the other person's face.
He often helps new ghosts in the south of the city to register, and has seen almost all of their faces. That man had such a distinctive look that it was difficult for him to forget his face.
"He must have changed his appearance!"
After figuring it out, he followed from a distance.
But just now, in the blink of an eye, the other person's figure disappeared.
"Entered the shop?" He immediately pretended to be a pedestrian and walked into the nearby shops one by one to check.
Soon he returned to the place where Chen Mu disappeared.
"Several shops have no back doors, so it's impossible to escape."
“They are all small shops, there is no room for hiding.”
"But why is he gone?"
He stood in front of the door of Yupinxuan with a confused look on his face, but ignored Chen Mu who was only separated by a door.
He didn't even look at the shop next to him, as if that huge shop didn't exist at all!

Chapter 432: Flying Flame Sutra
In the south of Jiugu City, there is Yupinxuan.
"The Tianhe Water Palace was leaking and was completely flooded, so I came here." Le Yang'an spread his hands.
Chen Mu suddenly remembered that when he was temporarily staying in Tianhe Water Palace, the gate of the water palace leaked and collapsed.
That was a water palace that had existed since ancient times. It was said that a real dragon once lived there, but it disappeared just like that.
Is it because of the changes in the earth's spiritual energy?
He thought of Chongshan Road and Jilong Mountain. Both were in turmoil due to the changes in the earth veins and spiritual springs. One was wiped out and disappeared, and the other was full of twists and turns.
Before he came to Yinming, Jilong Dao had even begun preparing a ferry to relocate the entire sect to the neighboring Haizhou.
"How did Brother Chen get here?" Le Yangan asked.
"Hey! I met a bunch of lunatics and got dragged into this." Chen Mu waved his hands and shook his head with a gloomy look on his face.
He still doesn't understand what those people saw in him that made them want to capture him as a sacrifice.
"I wonder how you recognized me?" Chen Mu was quite concerned about this.
"According to the locals, anyone who can come here must have some ability, so..." Le Yangan shrugged.
"But after all, so many years have passed, how can you still remember me?" He has been practicing painting for many years, and initially made a living by drawing portraits, so he is good at memorizing faces. Even so, it still took him a while to remember Le Yangan.
"For high-quality customers, of course, we must remember to be firm."
"Otherwise, how could my Yupinxuan be able to extend from the world of the living to the world of the dead?" Le Yang laughed happily.
"Hey! It's true..." Chen Mu laughed, but he also agreed with it.
Immediately, Chen Mu asked this acquaintance about the information about Yin Ming.
After chatting for a long time, Chen Mu learned a lot of common sense.
As they talked, they came to talk about ghost pattern cultivation.
"The Flying Flame Sutra, that's indeed a bit difficult." Le Yangan shook his head and smiled, "It's mainly because it's difficult to control the flames, and it's easy to damage the source."
"It's so difficult to practice, could it be that the secret method has other secrets?" Chen Mu was not giving up: "For example, is this Feiyan Sutra a branch of some high-end magic method? Or can it only show some mysteries when it is practiced to a high level?"
"I can only say... Brother Chen has a great imagination."
Chen Mu's face fell.
As expected, I stepped into a big pit. This is a secret method that was eliminated.
"Brother Chen has an extraordinary talent, maybe he can really develop great magical powers." Le Yangan laughed and teased: "Of course, it would be better to eat more jade dew beads before practicing."
"Can the Jade Dew Beads reduce the difficulty of cultivation?" Chen Mu's eyes lit up.
"Well, it can keep you burning a little longer, buying you time to use the water of the Lethe River."
Chen Mu: “…”
Tsk!
The more I listen, the more I feel that this secret method is dangerous.
"What on earth are magical ghost patterns? Why are they so troublesome?" Chen Mu was a little annoyed.
"Brother Chen is a Qigong practitioner, so he must know what the foundation of Tao is." Le Yangan said with a smile.
"I don't know." Chen Mu shook his head honestly.
He only knew that after the acupoint was condensed, one had to use Hunyuan Qi to cleanse Yin and Yang, saying that one had to train the divine acupoint into a river cart before one could build the foundation of Taoism.
But he really didn't know what Dao Ji was.
Le Yangan was stunned, with a strange look in his eyes. As a Qigong practitioner, how could he be so careless about his own cultivation path?
"Well, it seems that Brother Chen is more pragmatic and only focuses on practicing at the moment. It's good to be down-to-earth, so that you can go further."
Down to earth and pragmatic?
Isn't it because I'm ignorant?
"Yes, that's what I thought!" Chen Mu admitted shamelessly.
Le Yangan smiled and patiently explained: "Daoji is the foundation of Taoism and the seed of the primordial spirit."
"Only after the foundation of the Tao is formed can the Yuan Shen be cultivated."
"The supernatural ghost pattern is also called the ghost pattern seed. It is the foundation of the Yin spirit. It is the seed and the root."
“Only with this foundation can it blossom and bear fruit.”
Chen Mu understood, but he was helpless. If he wanted to cultivate the power of the Yin spirit, he couldn't avoid this. Even if this "Flying Flame Sutra" was useless, he still had to practice it.
"Boss Le, do you know how to return to life?"
"It's simple, just go to Naihe Bridge." Le Yangan said happily.
Chen Mu rolled his eyes immediately.
I'm not dead yet, so I don't need to reincarnate and go to the ghost's Naihe Bridge.
……
On the second floor of the White Crane Teahouse, in a small cubicle facing the street.
Zhang Wuqing looked at the people walking on the street, but his eyes were unfocused, and his mind was still thinking about the scene of that man disappearing yesterday.
"Magic power! It must be magical power!"
"You have awakened your magical powers without any special training. You are gifted..." He shook his head: "I can't think about it anymore."
If such a person enters the camp in the north of the city, he might become a big shot among the Yin soldiers in the future, and if he is entangled, he may get into big trouble.
He threw a fried burdock bead into his mouth and watched the people walking on the street waiting silently.
Not long after, Niu Sanmiao walked into the cubicle with a sour face.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Wuqing was surprised.
"We only picked up three people this time." Niu Sanmiao said with a gloomy face.
"Compensation again?" Zhang Wuqing's face was full of sympathy.
Thinking of the last loss, Niu Sanmiao felt even more distressed: "Have those people made any unusual moves?"
"Everything is normal." Zhang Wuqing shook his head.
The image of the person with the enchanting red flower on her head flashed through my mind, but I didn't say anything.
"I think you may have really encountered some strange monster."
impossible!
Niu Sanmiao has been thinking about that day every day for the past two months, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
"Then what do you want to do? Those people are very honest anyway." Zhang Wuqing spread his hands.
Niu Sanmiao heard this and his face darkened: "Then I won't watch you anymore."
"Okay." Zhang Wuqing felt a little regretful. He still wanted to earn more.
Then he saw the other party handed him a gray cloth bag.
"I would like to ask Fifth Brother to change the registration information of those people."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Wuqing frowned slightly.
"Just change the time they came to Jigu City to ten years ago." Niu Sanmiao smiled.
Zhang Wuqing raised his eyebrows: "The City Lord's Mansion is going to send troops in the near future?"
"Change the length of stay? Are you going to use the Beidaying compulsory conscription order to send them all to the auxiliary battalion?"
"Going into battle with the army, life and death are unpredictable..." Zhang Wuqing shook his head, but skillfully took the gray cloth bag and stuffed it into his sleeve.
"If I don't do something, I'll always have a thorn in my heart." Niu Sanmiao said calmly. "It's okay to lose a little money, but if it becomes a knot in my heart, I'm afraid it will delay my concentration of magical powers."
"I will go to the auxiliary camp and follow the army. Whether I live or die depends on God's will. I can also feel relieved."
Zhang Wuqing relaxed his shoulders: "It's up to you, you paid for it."
