Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 178 The New Year and the Broken Temple

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed by.

At this time, Lin Ji's injuries had already healed.

Since he discovered the mutation of the karma book that day, he has been practicing in closed doors in his room.

This morning, Lin Ji slowly woke up from his practice.

With a thought, a transparent villain appeared in front of his eyes.

The agility in the eyes of the physical body immediately dissipated, turning gray and white, while the transparent villain held a similarly transparent small sword in his hand, and slashed out with a decent sword.

The invisible fluctuations spread, but before this sword intent could cause damage, the primordial spirit returned to the physical body.

Lin Ji on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, and with a flick of his sleeves, the power of the primordial spirit vanished invisible.

"She Shenjian has finally been refined." Lin Ji chuckled twice.

There is only one form of Sheshenjian, which is to consume the power of the primordial spirit to desperately use it, but the primordial spirit is not very good. If it is performed with the body, the power of the primordial spirit and the spiritual energy will complement each other, and the power will be doubled.

It's just that this sword is not easy to learn. If it wasn't for the inexplicable use of that sword in the battle with the demon fox that day, and he had an epiphany once, he might not be able to perfect this sword technique in the past half a month.

"Could it be that this adventure is an epiphany?"

It's not like something similar has happened before, so Lin Ji doesn't feel too surprised.

In addition, this epiphany also allowed him to learn the Wind Control Technique.

There are three styles of Yufeng Technique, which are Wind Rising Clouds, Wind Rolling Clouds, and Wind Tiger Cloud Dragon.

These three forms must arouse the power of heaven and earth, and the primordial spirit must be used as the medium. It is no wonder that only the fifth level can be practiced.

Now Lin Ji is barely able to use Stormy Storm, probably in the state of summoning a cloud and blowing a gust of wind.

The words against the enemy are not very practical, but they can be used to pretend to be gods and ghosts to respond to the people's prayers for rain, etc. It can be done.

However, Lin Ji couldn't control whether it was rain clouds or not, so although this supernatural power was good, it was not as practical as imagined.

But after all, it is a method that can only be used in the night travel environment.

In addition, Lin Ji originally thought that after breaking through the fifth realm, he would be able to arouse the power of the fourth star.

But after several attempts, he discovered that the fourth star after Tianshu, Tianxuan, and Tianji, Tianquan, was not something he could arouse now.

The further you go, the more difficult it is.

"The function of the North Pole points directly to the seventh realm, so it's really not that easy to cultivate." After another failed attempt, Lin Ji was not discouraged.

In the past half month of cultivation, he has gained enough, so he doesn't need to be greedy for more.

Instead, Lin Ji felt that perhaps it was time to stabilize his cultivation for a while.

After finishing the practice, Lin Ji packed up his things and left the room.

As soon as I went out, I ran into Zhong Xiaoyan who was excited.

"Yo, are you finally out?"

"That's, eh, you've broken through to Tonghui, no wonder you're so happy." Lin Ji smiled.

"Hmph, this girl will definitely catch up with you."

"Come on, but it's time for us to get out of here." Lin Ji spread his hands and said with a smile.

Calling Shang Wunan, after each packed their luggage and checked out, the three of them came to the Yuquan county government office together.

Lin Ji briefly dictated the matter between Hu Fei'er and Granny Hua, and specifically told the magistrate of Yuquan County to note in the file that this matter was related to the fox demon case in Qingyang County.

After finishing these trivial matters, they rejected the request of the county magistrate and the head arrester to keep them, and the three of them left Yuquan County together and continued southward.

After leaving Yuquan County, snowflakes floated in the sky.

Zhong Xiaoyan tugged Lin Ji's sleeve suddenly.

"what happened?"

"In a few days, it will be the New Year."

Lin Ji was stunned for a moment, then chuckled twice.

"Days arrive pretty quickly."

Zhong Xiaoyan sighed: "The first year of Emperor Pei was really difficult for the Great Qin Dynasty."

"The year name is Sheng Yuan." Lin Ji corrected, "You should say it was the first year of Sheng Yuan."

"I'm no longer a member of Tiansi, and I don't need to worry about you officials' broken rules." Zhong Xiaoyan refused to change her words, "What about the emperor? As a monk, I respect the heavens, the earth, my parents, and my teachers. Disrespect to the emperor."

"It's up to you." Lin Ji actually didn't care much about it.

But as an official in Jiantiansi, there are still some things that should be taboo.

Calling Peidi directly, and being overheard, is always a clue.

……

Shengyuan two years.

Spring Festival, heavy snow.

The snow in the sky is fluttering, accompanied by the blowing of the south wind, obliquely and uniformly.

Next to the official road, inside the dilapidated mountain temple.

A man, a woman, and a monk were drinking wine and talking nonsense around the fire.

There were not only the three of them in the temple, there were also two fires on the other two sides, and people gathered in front of the fires.

Passers-by who went home at the end of the New Year, but the road was blocked by heavy snow, had no choice but to stop.

There are merchants who travel long distances and travel abroad.

There are schoolchildren crouching beside their mothers to keep warm by the light of the fire, and studying carefully with books in their hands.

There is a villainous face, a big knife behind his back, and a quack who pours wine into his belly.

Those who traveled from south to north were all trapped in the dilapidated mountain temple by the heavy snow.

The hole in the broken temple door was blocked with clothes, but it was not tight enough, and the cold wind always slipped in, making everyone shrink their necks and shiver.

Lin Ji yawned a long time after drinking again, got up and stretched.

Pretending to tighten his clothes, he looked at the other two groups of people sheltering from the snow.

"Mr. Lin." Everyone hurriedly wanted to get up.

Lin Ji shook his head and told them to sit quietly.

"Don't worry about it in the cold weather, it's still the old rules."

"No problem." The traveler nodded again and again, and took out three jars of wine from his cargo.

It's a pity that this person can cram even horses and carts into this ruined temple.

Thanks to the fact that the ruined temple is spacious enough, the carriage occupies a corner, and apart from the smell, it doesn't look crowded.

As for the smell, it's freezing cold, everyone's nose is not very good, and no one cares.

Wu Nan on the other side got up and brought the three altars of wine to the fire on his side.

This is the rule in the mountain temple these days.

Merchants sell wine on the condition that they bring their own carriage goods into the temple for preservation.

The three of Lin Ji got the wine, and then went to buy some wild game for them.

Lin Ji and the others are naturally not afraid of this little snow.

If they hadn't seen so many people gathered in the mountain temple, the three of them would have continued on their way long ago.

But just when Lin Ji was about to go hunting, the gate of the mountain temple was pushed open again.

It was a man and a woman who came, wearing brocade hats and sable furs, they looked warm and rich.

It formed a sharp contrast with the crowd of bitter hahas in the temple.

But at this moment, the faces of the man and the woman were pale, and their lips were a little chapped.

If that's the case, Lin Ji wouldn't care about it at all, it's just that there are two more mouths to eat, and it's not bad for the two of them to catch a wild boar.

But Lin Ji's eyes just widened, staring at the man in a daze.

The man also looked at Lin Ji, his eyes were full of astonishment.

"Boss?!"

"Week money?!"

The two looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

It's a real life where we don't meet.

But then, Zhou Qian's complexion changed slightly, and he immediately pulled his wife Xiaomei who was beside him, turned around and walked out.

Lin Ji frowned in surprise.

"Hey, what are you going?!"
