Chapter 208 Influence
The Nine Changes of Gangsha is the second magic technique created by Fang Xian. It is specially created to deal with various situations and has a total of nine changes.
The first transformation, the transformation of flesh and blood, can enable the Taoist priest to directly achieve great martial arts, manipulate every tiny part of his body at will, and reach the peak of his own martial arts power.
The second transformation, invisibility and phantom, is an illusion.
After all, as a monster, there are many inconveniences and it is difficult to cultivate into a human body.
This magical power of invisibility and phantom can add a layer of illusion to oneself, which is extremely difficult to see through no matter who sees it.
At the same time, it is also a great way to hide and save your life.
Fang Xian's mind moved, and he mobilized the power of calamity.
The next moment, a layer of hazy mist seemed to appear around his body.
Shrouded in the mist, his figure gradually became blurred, as if covered with a layer of protective color, and then became transparent, blending in with the surroundings and no longer able to be distinguished.
"This is invisibility, and next, it's illusion."
Fang Xian imagined what the previous world looked like, and the next moment, a young man in white appeared at the same place.
He has a face like a crown of jade, eyes like lacquer, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and a tall and slender figure. He is indeed a handsome man.
If the daughter of the Tongzhi family had seen this appearance last time, she would not have fainted from fright. Instead, she might have felt her heart beating like a deer.
"With my skills, few people in this world can see through me, or even no one can see through me at all..."
Fang Xian turned around and suddenly smiled: "It's time to go out and cheat people."
Although this world is devoid of spiritual energy and most people are mortals, it is still of great use.
For example...the one who truly founded the Taoist tradition of Taoism.
For example...experiment with Tianxin consciousness and experience the different rules of the world.
These are things that the white ape cannot do, but the immortal can.
As for Wang Shun and his dream of opposing Wang?
Capturing the county town is a complete challenge to the most sensitive nerves of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Just prepare to be surrounded and suppressed by the army.
In this regard, Fang Xian did not intend to support him to become the king.
Specifically, we should take one step at a time.
…
Zhengyang Prefecture City.
Ning Boshang was having a banquet at the Tongzhifu's place.
That night Fang Xian revealed her true form as a monster and frightened Chun Yu Yun into fainting. In the end, it was this scholar who rescued her and sent her all the way to the city.
The Tongzhi is the deputy of the prefect, and participates in the prefect's internal affairs. He can be said to be the second person in Zhengyang Prefecture.
Chun Yuyun's father , the Tongzhi Chun Yuqin, naturally kept his daughter's savior in his arms and treated him warmly. Before he knew it, several days had passed.
Ning Boshang accepted the invitation to a banquet from the eldest and second sons of the Tongzhi, but he seemed to be hiding something in his heart.
"Bo Shang seems to be worried?"
Chun Yuyun's elder brother saw it and asked with a smile: "I wonder what's bothering you? Why don't you tell me..."
If it's just a small matter, just do it and consider it as repaying a favor.
But if you want to pass the imperial examination, then forget it.
If it was a quota for a scholar, the Chunyu family could still intervene in matters that could be decided in Zhengyang Prefecture, but the status of a juren was different. It was a major event for the whole state, and a mere Tongzhi was not enough to take charge.
"I... I just heard that Dazheng County was destroyed and the county magistrate was dead. I was a little scared and worried."
Ning Boshang certainly would not say that he had seen the white ape. That monster first caused a big disturbance in Tongxuan Temple, and then dared to spread the evil rumor of "Da Shunxing, Wang Shunwang" to mislead the people. It is simply the number one powder keg in the world, and whoever touches it will die.
"Huh?"
Just as he was thinking about it, cold sweat started to flow down Ning Boshang's forehead.
"Then Miss Chunyu has also seen the white ape. Will she tell her family... If so, their purpose of keeping me here is probably not just to repay a favor... They might even want to silence me!"
Even the Tongzhi family would not dare to get involved in such things as rebellion.
Ning Boshang secretly complained but dared not show it, so he could only pretend to be nice and try to hide his pains.
"That's true..."
When it comes to this, the Chunyu brothers have different expressions: "This matter is not really that big of a deal. After all, the thieves just looted at night and retreated at dawn. The next day, the government soldiers recaptured the county town, but... it's not the right time!"
The Great Zhou was said to be a prosperous and peaceful era, but something like this happened. It's a slap in the face.
Because of this, Chun Yuqin, the Tongzhi, has been very busy recently, eating and sleeping in the yamen.
Ning Boshang made up his mind and asked tentatively, "It is said that... those mountain people were bewitched by a monster, or a white ape. What do you think?"
"Haha... the story of mountain spirits and monsters only exists in vernacular novels. In the thousands of years of history, there is no real story. Doesn't this explain everything? It's just a rumor made up by those rebels to confuse the people..."
Brother Chunyu said indifferently.
His younger brother, who always liked such strange people and things, said: "I heard that the Tongxuan Temple outside the city was also disturbed by a white ape. It was a real monster. All the martial artists were knocked down, and there were heavy casualties... There may be a reason for this rumor."
"Huh?"
Seeing the brothers' genuine attitude, Ning Boshang was surprised: "Could it be that Miss Chunyu didn't tell her family about the white ape? Wouldn't that mean that all the credit is attributed to me? Is this a blessing or a curse?"
For a moment, the scholar's mind was filled with confusion and he became a little dazed.
…
Capital city.
A Taoist temple surrounded by plum trees.
An oxcart came slowly and stopped at the gate of the temple. A Taoist priest with a gaunt face and high spirits got off.
"It turns out that it is Master Miaoyu who has arrived. Please come in quickly!"
When a Taoist boy saw him, he immediately bowed respectfully and invited the visitor into the Taoist temple.
This Miao Yu Zhenren was very famous in the capital, and was even canonized by the imperial court. He was not comparable to an ordinary country Taoist.
Zhenren Miaoyu nodded slightly, walked into the Taoist temple, and came to a sacred room.
There was only one person in the room, he looked middle-aged, dressed as a Taoist priest, with an ordinary face and dull eyes, but to Master Miao Yu, he felt like a piece of unpolished jade hidden in a rough stone, which would shine brightly if even a corner of it was revealed.
"Your presence brings honor to my humble humble home. I have nothing to offer you, except a cup of tea, please!"
The middle-aged man made a pot of tea and smiled.
"Baoshi, you and I have known each other for many years. A pot of tea is enough." Miaoyu looked at Taoist Baoshi, especially knowing that they were about the same age, she couldn't help but feel a little envious.
It’s a pity that he couldn’t learn this way of health preservation, and he had no way to learn it.
The two men sat opposite each other, the Taoist boy bowed respectfully and left.
After drinking two sips of tea, Bao Shi laughed and said, "You don't come to me for no reason. Just speak frankly. But what about the monster coming out? How does the person in the imperial city react?"
"Of course, people are furious when they see a rebellion in a peaceful and prosperous time, but the anger will pass... After all, it's just a few hundred mountain people, and any wise person knows that there is no chance of success."
Miao Yu Zhenren shook his head and said, "He is just very interested in the white ape. He ordered many Taoist temples to join forces with the Divine Capture Department to capture or kill the monster. More importantly, he wants to get its secrets... You and I both know that since the opening of the heaven and earth, there are very few spiritual minds in the world. How can it become a monster?"
"I'm afraid this matter will shake the Taoist sect. There is no Taoist who pursues immortality and freedom who will not be tempted."
Bao Shi sighed: "After all, it is the hope of immortality..."
"Aren't you tempted?" Master Miaoyu asked with a smile.
"Of course... I am also tempted. The path to immortality is so difficult, don't take the golden elixir lightly . If you don't meet a wise man who can pass on the secret, you can't achieve immortality even if you are torn to pieces..."
Taoist Bao Shi stood up and said, "But we only have magical powers and secrets, but no inspiration. We are just like flowers in the water and the moon in the mirror... We can't cultivate anything in our lifetime. When we encounter an opportunity, how can we not fight for it?"
