Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 111 Turmoil
At this time, the sky darkened.

Lu Zhong walked alone on the river embankment and walked towards the small courtyard by the river.

Going out today is considered a big harvest. Not only did he sell four volumes of talisman-making books, but he also successfully sold the copyright of the secret talisman of Qingyang amulet. He can get five thousand spirit stones only after completing the teaching tomorrow.

Such a huge amount of money is enough to complete the first step of his shop plan.

When passing the magic shop, Lu Zhongxin bought a spell.

Controlling objects, it is very necessary to learn this technique. The magic hand can reduce the pressure on the control of the magic weapon, thereby reducing the difficulty of performing sword skills. At the same time, it can also be applied to the talisman. Play a role in improving the success rate of making symbols.

As he was walking, his expression suddenly changed.

"This is... demon energy!"

Relying on his abundant spiritual power, except for special occasions, Lu Zhong usually activates the qi-watching technique almost all day long, in order to prevent someone from ambushing him, but he never thought that he would make this discovery.

The experience of Qingliu Market in the past emerged in my mind, and I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart.

In the vision of the qi-watching technique, the originally colorful and beautiful world was infested by black ink-like magic energy, and at the same time, an unpleasant smell began to pass from the nostrils.

"Could it be—!"

Before Lu Zhong could think about it, out of the corner of his gaze, he saw ripples of spiritual light erupting from a tower in the northwest corner. From a distance, it looked like a bright torch suddenly lit up, directly reflecting the dark night sky into day, accompanied by The alarm bell sounded "Dang Dang Dang".

Sure enough something happened.

Lu Zhong glanced left and right, and stopped lingering in the empty street.

At this time, the prohibition of He Lingzong temporarily expired.

After pinching the formula and chanting the mantra, a layer of spiritual wind surrounds the body, and the whole person is like an arrow from the string, rushing towards the relatively safe riverside courtyard covered by the magic circle.

On the way, a group of bloody walking corpses turned around the corner of the street.

Lu Zhong didn't have much trouble, they were low in strength and could not pose a threat, and it was unnecessary and useless to solve them.

With a leap, he was already tens of feet away.

After leaving this place, the concentration of demonic energy in the air began to drop, indicating that he had already left the center of the crisis, and he didn't have to worry about confronting the turbulent demonic correction.

Back to the courtyard by the river.

Covered by the white cloud array, and not knowing the meaning of the bell, Hong Fu and Li Hejun did not respond to changes in the outside world, but stood obediently at the door to greet them, and looked forward to the reward after completing the task.

The spirit-seeking mouse next to it was lying on the ground, flicking its tail in a fawning gesture.

It also saw the rewards of the two girls yesterday, and it was also very greedy for the spirit rice and spirit beast meat. It couldn't be compared with the sour and astringent Peishu Wan, so it naturally wanted to ask for a portion.

After glancing at the ten bound talisman-making books, Lu Zhongcai shifted his gaze to Mr. Li He and said, "There is no need to print the books for the time being. I remember that you are literate. During this time, you should first teach Hong Fu how to practice calligraphy."

After a pause, he continued: "It's not peaceful outside recently, you two stay in the courtyard, be more vigilant..."

As if to confirm Lu Zhong's words, there was a bang from outside the Baiyun formation.

The shield began to vibrate, but not much.

Lu Zhong frowned slightly, how could the turmoil in his heart spread so quickly?
"You go back to the house first."

After giving the order, he sacrificed the Golden Devouring Sword and the Black Crystal Shield, and stood ready.

After injecting a few spells into the control token, the cloud that surged outside the shield began to dissipate, revealing the night sky illuminated by aura and flames.

Observing with the naked eye, Lu Zhong discovered the existence of the attacking white cloud formation.

"What the hell is this?"

Outside the shield of the white cloud array, there is a mud-like monster attacking crazily. From time to time, there are dense human hands and feet protruding from its body, accompanied by deformed heads that are happy, angry, crazy, and come from the body parts of different objects. Gather together, and finally condense to form a fleshy spear to stab out.

"Boom!" There was a muffled sound.

The white cloud shield trembled again.

"We can't let it continue to attack, otherwise the array will be broken!"

Seeing this, Lu Zhong decided to attack.

Before doing it, I didn't forget to use the scene to look back and observe the surroundings to prevent the magic cultivator from lurking in the dark.

Wait until it is confirmed that there is only such an enemy around, and then control the white cloud shield to open a hole.

What greeted him was a burst of air breaking.

The water pattern cover is unfolded, and the incoming objects are firmly blocked.

Looking at the things that fell in front of him, he could find that they were all bones, some came from humans, and some came from domestic animals such as pigs, dogs, chickens and cattle, which had undergone a certain degree of alienation and became extremely sharp.

His gaze finally stopped on the slime monster, and he saw the chaotic and disorderly eruption of raging demon energy, which was similar to the out-of-control demon cultivator in Yinbaozhai. The monster in front of him was also transformed from an out-of-control demon cultivator.

"It's out of control again, no wonder Moxiu is so disgusting."

Lu Zhong glanced calmly over the slime monster's body, and suddenly saw two familiar faces, they were the father of Li Hejun who was killed not long ago, and the scarlet man who was frightened to death.

At this moment, the two faces were half-rotted, and meaningless wailing kept coming out of their mouths.

There was no disturbance in his heart, he ignored more bone spurs from the monster, and chanted a spell to cast the Qingyang fire rain technique.

After the flames splashed, everything returned to calm.

After solving the out-of-control monster, Lu Zhong didn't relax at all, and quietly looked sideways ahead.

After a short breath, a figure stepped out of the darkness there.

Seeing the other party's face clearly, Lu Zhong's eyes froze.

"Is it her? No, it's just that they look similar!"

I saw that the person who came out was very similar to the red-haired female nun he saw in the house affairs office, but the temperament of the two was obviously different, and the person in front of him was arrogant and unscrupulous.

In terms of cultivation, this woman is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Lu Zhong didn't understand why the other party was so confident, so he secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.

Suwen Moxiu's methods are weird and changeable, making it hard to guard against.

Even though he has the advantage in cultivation, he is still cautious so as not to overturn the boat in the gutter.

With hatred on her face, the red-haired nun said in a cold tone: "You are the kid who attracted the law enforcement team. Since you dare to be the eagle's minion, you can die here today!"

Before she finished speaking, she flipped her hand and took out a blood-red dagger, aiming it at her heart with her backhand.

"Pfft" sounded.

The dagger pierced hard.

In the vision of the qi-watching technique, the red-haired female cultivator began to erupt with devilish energy all over her body, and a storm of devilish energy began to form where she was standing. In the intertwined and flickering black and red airflow, a blood shadow flickered.

Seeing this, Lu Zhong looked calm.

As early as when the opponent stabbed the dagger towards the heart, he was casting the Qingyang fire rain technique.

After dozens of fireballs condense, let them shoot out immediately.

He was not expected to be sought revenge by the demon cultivator.

But this woman's brain seems to be abnormal, and she used the secret technique of the magic way in an open manner, which gave Lu Zhong a first move, and a fireball directly hit her face.

Flames blazed, and a series of explosions sounded.

If it were an ordinary monk, he would have been dead for a long time.

But at this moment, Lu Zhong saw a blood shadow rushing out of the sea of ​​flames.

Even though he looked miserable, he couldn't see half a piece of good flesh all over his body, and was scorched and tender by the flames. At this moment, he still had a certain ability to move, and his eyes were full of bloody flames, showing undisguised hatred.

"Kill, kill you!" The voice echoed like an abyss.

Frowning slightly, Lu Zhong sighed secretly in his heart.

With the growth of one's own cultivation base, the Qingyang Fire Rain Technique, which was originally powerful, has become mediocre now. Although the power of the spell has become stronger and stronger due to the improvement of the monk's strength, it is still It can't compare to those higher-level spells.

Ignoring Moxiu's clamor, he changed the sword formula in his hand.

A stream of golden light fell straight down like a waterfall, splitting it in half.

Immediately, he picked up the tip of the sword and picked out a storage bag from the meat.

After doing this, Lu Zhong turned his gaze to the distance, where the flames were soaring into the sky, shouts of killing continued, and the tall tower that was originally glowing with layers of spiritual light also slowly collapsed in the flames.

A large amount of demonic energy accumulated, and even condensed into a demonic cloud, completely covering the starry sky.

"What happened?" Lu Zhong wondered.

Judging from the current situation, the turmoil should be caused by demon cultivators.

But although they have extreme temperaments, they are not brainless idiots. It is impossible for them to act aimlessly. There must be deep-seated reasons behind them.

This point, he has no way of knowing.

"There's no need to think too much, you'll know tomorrow."

Thinking of this, Lu Zhong returned to the small courtyard.

……

Sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, the night was finally spent in turmoil.

The turmoil last night was not brought under control until dawn. When Lu Zhong went out to have a look in the early morning, he found that Changle Square was devastated, and the remains of the victims could be seen everywhere.

Most of the dead are mortals.

They have no power to protect themselves, and they may be able to live well on weekdays.

But if there is turmoil, especially when you get involved in the magic cultivator, your fragile nature as a mortal will be exposed, which is not even comparable to the "wild dogs" in the wilderness.

It should be known that no matter how miserable a monk is, he is still the protagonist in the world of comprehension.

Along the way, you can see a mountain of corpses. At least a thousand corpses are needed to pile them up. At this moment, there is still blood gushing out, converging into a low-lying place to form a pool of blood.

In the ruins everywhere, there are many figures wandering.

Most of these are mortals, and due to the erosion of demonic energy, their appearances have undergone considerable changes, such as turning blue-faced and fangs, or festering and festering.

No matter what kind of change it is, it is estimated that it will not live for too long.

In the distance, there were Helingzong disciples wearing black cloth masks moving.

Wherever it passed, all the mortals corroded by the devilish energy were burned to death by the raging flames.

Seeing Lu Zhong with a calm face, these Helingzong disciples were obviously a little surprised, and sent someone to inquire, and only after he revealed the aura of the Four Spiritual Skills did he leave with his doubts subsided.

"Stop, don't come near!"

"Changlefang has been blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or leave until the evil has been eradicated!"

Walking to the gate of the workshop, Lu Zhong was stopped by a monk of Helingzong.

There were many panic-stricken monks beside them, with deep fear in their eyes and bags on their backs. They wanted to escape from this place of death, but they were mercilessly stopped.

Even kneeling down and begging, it didn't help at all.

In front of the closed gate, there were two dead monks who did not believe in evil. Judging from the wounds on their bodies, it was obvious that they were killed by the magic weapon of the monk's royal envoy, clean and neat.

"I don't know if the contract signed with Liu Qingxun yesterday, can I go out from the workshop?" Lu Zhong looked at the Helingzong monks guarding him, thinking silently in his heart.

A monk at the side saw it, cheered up, and persuaded him kindly: "Fellow Taoist, you should go back. The Heling Sect will not let people out until the chaos in the workshop has not completely subsided."

"Thank you, Daoist, for your kindness." Lu Zhong responded to the other party, but raised his foot forward.

At the same time, there was an extra piece of gold paper in his hand.

He still wants to try it, maybe it will work.

Seeing someone walking towards the gate, the Heling Sect disciple who was on guard issued another warning.

Hearing this, Lu Zhong showed the contract in his hand.

Originally sacrificing the magic weapon, the disciple of the Helingzong could do it at any time, stopped urging the magic weapon, and said in a cold voice: "Stand there, wait a minute."

After a while, Lu Zhong passed smoothly.

Outside the gate, there was a Heling Sect monk waiting, and seeing him come out, he said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, right? Regarding the teaching of talismans, I will lead you into the talisman hall."

"Thank you!" Lu Zhong cupped his hands.

……

The talisman teaching will end soon.

After noon, Lu Zhong was sent out of the outer door of Helingzong.

Touching the storage bag in his arms, a smile finally appeared on his face.

Including the other spirit stones on his body, Lu Zhong now has more than six thousand spirit stones, which is definitely a huge sum for a monk in the mid-stage of Qi refining.

Regarding the use of this spirit stone, he originally planned to use it to run a shop, but when the turmoil in Changle Square happened last night, he changed his mind.

Shops are always foreign objects, how can one's own cultivation be as important as one's own.

What's more, as long as you advance to the late stage of Qi refining, the speed of earning spirit stones will also increase greatly, and there may be a new way out by then.

It was not until sunset and dusk that Changle Square was finally unlocked.

Different from the original peace and tranquility, there are not many intact houses in the square at this moment, and the remaining ones are all activated with magic circles, standing quietly in the ruins with white ash floating around.

Coming to the vicinity of the small courtyard by the river, this area is also not much better.

When Lu Zhong came back this time, he was going to pack up his things and move away.

After such a big event happened, Changle Square has turned into a fierce place, and there is even a lot of evil spirit in the air, which is no longer suitable for living and practicing.

After putting away the flags of the White Cloud Formation, they left in a hurry with Hong Fu.

I resettled in Xihefang again, this time in a slightly larger courtyard, similar to the bamboo forest courtyard Lu Zhong rented in Yanling Mountain before, with a total of six rooms, not as cramped as the previous riverside courtyard.At the same time as the area rose, the rent was also raised to ten spirit stones per month.

After setting up the white cloud array overnight, Lu Zhong fell asleep at dawn.

……

The next day, Lu Zhong went out to buy.

It was the same elixir shop last time, where he bought ten bottles of Yu Ning Dan at once.

While passing through Nancheng Dashi, I heard a shocking news.

After a long period of friction, the conflicts between Helingzong, Jinhongzong and Luoyunzong finally reached an irreconcilable level, so just three days ago, the two sides had already fought.

Some well-informed monks at the scene claimed that the chaos in Changlefang was also related to this sect war.

Its purpose is to disturb Yongling City.

For the Jinhongzong and Luoyunzong who only control Fang City, the war potential of the Helingzong who sits on the entire Yongling City is terrible. It is equivalent to the sum of the output of their two cases. If Yongling City is not disturbed, even if the two cases have an obvious advantage, they will be dragged down a little bit.

From this point, it can be seen that the future of Yongling City will no longer be as stable as before.
