Chapter 176 Anomaly
“Although this volume of spirit-attaching technique is ingenious, it is still too low-level.
The imprint still requires specific ash materials to activate, and perhaps other spiritual materials can be used as a substitute, but this requires the elders to experiment themselves.
And it uses the most magical tools of the realm of truth.
To make it further, you have to change to the Mohist talisman. The most wonderful thing about it is that the principle of the spirit-attaching seal is very similar to my Mohist talisman. "
Still in Elder Sanbao's wooden house, Jiang Xia spoke to Elder Sanbao:
“It’s perfect to use this item to lay a solid foundation for new disciples in the art of making tools, and as transitional knowledge for formally learning the obscure Five Elements Ink Talismans.
As for the Blazing Sun Seal...
I found this thing along with the spiritual secret technique at the Hongyan Club. It can only be used three times. When I got it, it could only be used for the last time.
And the materials are too complicated.
I have never heard of many of the materials, and I don't know whether they exist in the Ku Mu Realm. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to make, and it can only restrain evil spirits.
It is less effective against other enemies.
It can barely be considered a low-grade magic weapon, but it is already the highest-level item that can be produced by the spirit-attaching technique.
The masters of the inner sect would not be interested in such things. Moreover, the outer sect is just being built and without the blueprints of magic weapons, it would not be able to show its power.
Elder, please accept it.
I am still searching for more drawings related to the spirit-attaching technique at the Hongyan Society. Once I get them, I will give them to the outer sect to keep the place in check."
Having said this, Lao Jiang paused.
He smiled and said to Elder Sanbao:
"The elder knows that I am a mortal and I am engaged in business, so I naturally want to seek profit. I will offer these two items to the outer sect, and I will ask for three rewards."
"You go on."
Elder Sanbao twisted his beard and said to Jiang Xia:
"I'll listen first."
"First, please teach Ruyue carefully. She is one of my best employees, and I hope she has a good future."
“Secondly, Elder, you can see that I have good luck thanks to Ruyue, and I have a lot of sensitive things on hand. The location of the Moshuang mark when I went up the mountain has left a shadow on me.
I would like to ask the elder to refine something for me that can conceal my aura, block my divine thoughts, and prevent me from being tracked by those with ulterior motives. If the grade is higher, it would be even better."
Jiang Xia is so rude.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to exchange for something that he needed most at the moment, but this was not the end. He blinked at the elder and said in a relaxed and mercenary tone:
“Lastly, I heard that the elder is a master of alchemy.
Elder, please consider that I have offered you the secret technique. When you get pills from me in the future, I will prepare my own spiritual materials, and you may not charge me for the processing fee for refining the pills.
"Okay?"
Elder Sanbao was not angry because of Jiang Xia's request.
At his level, he could naturally see the drawbacks of the Spirit Attachment Secret Technique, which was its lack of growth potential and its demanding materials. But to be honest, there was a set of well-developed secret techniques for making instruments.
The prosperity of the outer sect is a foregone conclusion.
After all, the Mohist Five Elements Talismans are obscure and difficult to understand, and the system is huge and vast. Not every weapon maker has the ability to learn and use it well.
If this set of secret techniques of possessing spirits is used well, it can even become the core inheritance of the outer sect that is different from the inner sect.
"I accept it."
The elder thought for a moment, put away the two items, and nodded to Jiang Xia.
She then took out a simple black oil-paper umbrella from her ring and handed it to Jiang Xia with a touch of emotion and nostalgia.
He said:
“To be honest, when I ascended to the Bitter Wood Realm, I actually had the same embarrassing situation as you. At that time, I was arrogant and arrogance, so I provoked some difficult opponents.
At that time, I also wanted to obtain the magic weapon of concealment.
This item is the first magic weapon I refined under the guidance of the sect leader when I was practicing in Mo Shuang Mountain. It has a very simple function and can only block peeping and eliminate aura.
But precisely because of its single function, the effect is extremely good.
It is called 'curtain wall'.
It is the most concealed of all the magic weapon drawings left by the former Mohist sect. It is said that if it is further processed, it can even block the secrets of heaven.
As long as the person who comes is not a powerful being in the sea of suffering, he will not be able to find you, but it requires a lot of spiritual energy to activate. With your current practice, each time it is activated, I am afraid it can only last for about ten breaths at most.
I have erased the mark of my divine consciousness that I used to sacrifice this treasure.
You can use it.”
Jiang Xia took the slightly heavy oil-paper umbrella with both hands. He stroked the magic weapon he had exchanged two for one and said sincerely to Elder Sanbao:
"Thank you, elder."
"Well, I really gained a lot from talking with you tonight."
Cha Sanbao also waved his hand with a smile and said:
"What I got from you, my friend, is much more than what you asked from me. It seems that we need to talk more in the future.
As for my disciple Ru Yue, you don't have to worry.
Now that we have the relationship of master and disciple, I will teach you with all my heart.
The child is a spiritual person and will surely become a great monk who will be feared by all.
only……"
At this point, Elder Sanbao shook his head and said to Jiang Xia:
“When a cultivator is practicing at a low level, he can do whatever he wants.
But once you want to climb upward, this Dao Heart is extremely important. In the sect, including myself and the three elders, we are all trapped in the realm of cultivating the spirit and cannot take another step.
It's not that we can't be promoted.
But we dare not rashly step into the realm of seeking the Tao.
This is because the three of them have not found the true meaning of their own Tao heart, and are entangled by cause and effect. It is like walking in the sea of suffering, with nowhere to go in the waves, and unable to see the lighthouse in the night.
Sailing at night will eventually result in the ship being destroyed and people being killed.
But what one seeks in the heart of Tao is so difficult.
This is the so-called "causality" that is truly elusive in spiritual practice.
I tell you all this to ask you to let go of your worries, Jiang Xiaoyou. Since my disciple has feelings for you, you should fulfill her longing, so that she won't have the same delusions as your master, which will affect her cultivation. Why bother?"
"this……"
Jiang Xia suddenly looked embarrassed.
He touched his forehead and said to the elder:
"No, that's right, I really just admire Ruyue and don't have any improper thoughts about her. Besides, shouldn't a Taoist couple be faithful to one person from beginning to end?
If you don't love each other, and you force them to be together, I'm afraid it will be bad for Ruyue in the future, right?"
"Ha ha ha ha"
Hearing Jiang Xia's words, the gentle Elder Sanbao burst into laughter, as if he had heard a funny joke.
He pointed at Jiang Xia and said with a smile:
"Where did this strange idea of yours come from? Daoist companion, Daoist companion, just by hearing the name you can tell that it is a companion on the journey of seeking the boundless great way.
It's not what you think, that it's a formal marriage and a lifelong marriage.
I have said before that we monks are free to act like the gathering and dispersion of wind and clouds. If we can accompany each other, it is fate. If we really have to separate, it is also destiny.
Your master and your uncle Liu Chu came for personal reasons and don't ask for these.
But do you know that I have been cultivating in the Bitter Wood Realm for 170 years, and how many Taoist companions have I formed? Take our leader, Mo Jun, for example. Do you know that he has been cultivating for nearly 500 to 600 years, and how many beauties does he have beside him? "
Jiang Xia looked at Cha Sanbao with strange eyes.
The latter made a gesture to Jiang Xia with a touch of pride unique to men.
Oh.
nine!
I didn't expect this gentle bald old man to be such a passionate playboy.
"Practice is a long journey. If we can't even dare to love and hate, then what's the point of practicing for immortality?"
Elder Sanbao reached out and patted Jiang Xia on the shoulder.
He said:
"Go, my friend. Whether you are a mortal or a cultivator, your life will always have an end. Don't leave any regrets for yourself, and don't let those around you leave any regrets.
Ruyue is a good child with a tragic fate, so be kind to her.
But if you dare to bully my disciple, I will grind you to ashes even if I have to sacrifice my own life!"
——
"Tsk, it's what we agreed on, senior."
Old Jiang returned to his courtyard in the dark, with his hands behind his back, holding the oil-paper umbrella, and complained as he walked:
"Why did the style suddenly change in the end and become a pimp? These monks are really weird."
As he spoke, he took a few more steps.
But suddenly stopped.
Just standing there in the dead silent night, as if he suddenly remembered something, he looked around and took the black quaint oil-paper umbrella in his hand.
Put it in front of you and look at it carefully.
This umbrella is not outstanding in appearance.
It was black and no different from the oil-paper umbrellas used by ordinary people, but it was well made, with the umbrella body made of ancient green bamboo and the umbrella cover woven with a silk-like material.
There are thousands of machines supporting it inside, and when it is fully expanded, there is also silence.
Under the green bamboo umbrella, at the very end of the ribs, there is a tassel woven with red thread and a dull jade ring, which looks quite delicate.
It looks like a woman's umbrella.
Lao Jiang is not a man without vision.
When he opened the umbrella, he saw the spiritual array formed by the densely packed ink symbols on the magic weapon. These things were invisible to the naked eye.
But he mobilized his sea of consciousness and used his divine senses to take a quick look... Lao Jiang's eyes were almost blinded by the dim ink symbols floating before his eyes.
It really is like a sea of stars.
Each talisman is used extremely skillfully. Thousands of ink talismans are gathered together and arranged in every part of the umbrella. They are carried on spiritual materials of extremely fine quality, and they look like a work of art.
Moreover, this umbrella is strong enough. In fact, all magic weapons are very strong and will not be easily damaged by collision.
Lao Jiang took out his arm knife and slashed the umbrella rib hard.
Sparks flew, like the friction between steel, but not even a scratch was left on the ancient trees and green bamboos. The strength of this thing was far beyond that of alloy steel.
When necessary, Lao Jiang can even pick up this umbrella and use it as a hammer or spear.
"Good baby."
Jiang Xia placed the open umbrella on his shoulder with a satisfied smile. He took a deep breath, mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and filled it into the umbrella ribs.
The spiritual power flowed gently, like mercury pouring on the ground. The spiritual arrays on the umbrella were activated one after another. Soon, Jiang Xia's breath was completely blocked.
It's like it just disappeared from this world.
But Lao Jiang will feel very uncomfortable at this moment.
The spiritual energy in his body kept flowing out like a flood. It was just as the elder said, although this magic weapon was good, it was not something that he could use casually at his level.
Only ten breaths of time.
Lao Jiang quickly took out the parchment from his pocket.
Previously, when Song Fan used the horoscope to predict his fate, there were some unusual movements on the paper. Lao Jiang was afraid of alerting others, so he did not take it to have a look. Now with the magic weapon like the Curtain Covering it, he can finally see why there were some unusual movements.
The rolled up parchment was opened, but there was no text on it.
There was only a dim picture of stars.
It was extremely similar to the unusual fate shown in the horoscope. As the starlight flickered, a strange beast roaring into the sky was outlined on the parchment.
A tiger has nine tails.
The man has a fierce and majestic face, four tiger claws under his body, and a mane on his back that is dancing wildly.
A majestic, cold, heavy and solemn atmosphere comes towards you.
really.
Lao Jiang also has an unusual fate.
Moreover, he recognized the star beast in front of him.
In charge of the emperor's lower capital, the nine departments of astronomy.
Mythical beast...
Luwu!
Jiang Xia watched the stars on the parchment disappear and was speechless for a moment.
In myths and legends, the divine beast Luwu is feared in the Kunlun Mountain. It has powerful combat capabilities, majesty and cruelty, and is merciless to those who make mistakes and offend others.
He is cautious in character and serious in his work, and is deeply trusted by the Emperor of Heaven.
But he was also very protective .
Very protective of one's own shortcomings.
If you think about it carefully, it really fits Jiang's personality.
But this thing...
Although it is a genuine mythical beast, it is hard to say whether it is a lucky beast or a vicious beast.
Ten breaths later, Lao Jiang closed his umbrella with a pale face, and lit a cigarette in an extremely exhausted state to calm himself down.
"Is the theory of fate so weird?"
He stroked his chin and said:
"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to learn this kind of astrology and face reading in the future. I can see through people's character at a glance. Well, this is probably the ability that every HR dreams of."
He smiled and put out his cigarette.
Although it felt terrible to have all the spiritual energy in his body drained away, Jiang Xia did not choose to take drugs. Instead, he planned to have a good sleep and truly start his spiritual practice tomorrow.
He threw the umbrella into the ring, yawned, stretched his body, and pushed the door open to enter the house.
Too tired.
I didn't even want to look around, I just took off my clothes and lay down on the bed, but this time...
Something is wrong.
"you……"
"Shh, boss, don't talk, shh... just listen to me.
The boss saved me once from the evil Liu Bao, and led me into spiritual practice. Although I suffered a lot along the way, I would not be who I am today without the boss's training.
This is a great favor, and I have no way to repay it. I just wish to stay with you forever, and I don’t ask for you to be faithful to me.
And Sister Julie.
I know her story, I know she and Mr. Pitt are separated forever, and I don't want to end up like that. As you said recently, I have earned a new life for myself.
So how to live your life is up to you to choose.
So tonight, I want to say goodbye to the past.
Boss, you know, for a prostitute like me, there is only one way to say goodbye to the past.
Don't be afraid.
I won’t depend on you.”
Lao Jiang was pinned to the bed by trembling slender fingers. In the darkness, his expression was complicated and helpless. He could only look at the perfect body sitting up on the bed in front of him.
She was naked, yet a faint light appeared on her jade-like skin.
And Ru Yue's hands were unbuttoning her underwear, and her eyes were like burning flames, shining in the darkness.
It was like a hungry female leopard that had caught its prey. As her tongue licked her lips, she seemed to want to eat the man in front of her completely.
Lao Jiang shrugged.
He stretched out his hand and gently moved the hands in front of him like pulling grapes, causing Ruyue to snort. Looking at the swaying white light in front of him, Lao Jiang also felt a surge of anger in his heart.
The direct effect was that Ruyue's body quickly softened.
She felt the erect thing in her lower body, like a spear unsheathed, full of fighting spirit, ready to return with blood.
After all, he is a pure prostitute.
He has a wealth of theoretical knowledge, but when it comes to the battlefield, he immediately shows his weakness.
Jiang Xia chuckled.
He grabbed the fragrant and soft object in front of him and pulled the hot body down. He gently stroked the porcelain-like jade back and felt the trembling in his arms.
He stuck out his tongue again and lightly touched the delicate earlobe.
She trembled even more violently, perhaps because she was nervous, and her breathing made a sound like a cat purring. The warm breath hit Lao Jiang's neck, making him feel a little itchy.
Heart.
It's also a bit itchy.
Jiang Xia moved his body to make himself more comfortable, then he smoothed the long hair of the person in his arms, and his other hand wandered over the smooth skin.
In her ear said:
"Okay, you can do what you want tonight, you little wildcat, but as you can see, I'm very tired now, so..."
"Move on your own."
