Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

"Fifth Junior Brother has inquired about a new recruit named Shen Lang in the past few days. Yesterday morning, Fifth Junior Brother invited Shen Lang to this place, intending to recruit him, but Shen Lang refused."

When it was dawn, the man in purple had returned to the small building with the news he had heard, and reported it to Master Bailong.

"Who is Shen Lang?"

What is the identity of Master Bailong?

Only Yan Tianying can get his attention in the whole Shencatching Hall, and even Daoist Wanfa is only incidentally paid attention to by him.

It is even more impossible for a small person like Shen Lang to be known by Master Bailong.

The man in purple said:

"Shen Lang is the one who cracked the case of the spider mother in Luling Mansion, only this year, and Yan Tianying values ​​him very much.

"It is said that two months ago, on the first day he came to the capital, Yan Tianying and Master Wanfa took him to Liuli Temple to visit Master Liuli. They were accompanied by a woman named Bai Shishi, who He is a traitor among the spider mother walkers, and now he has also joined the God of Catching Hall.

"In addition, Shen Lang is also talented in Taoism. He entered the Taoist monastery to practice with the keepsakes and personal recommendation letters of Wanfa Daoist. However, except when he first entered the Taoist monastery, he retreated in the Taoist monastery for more than a month, and the rest of the time he was not there. monastery."

Hearing this, Master Bailong's eyes moved slightly:
"Then Shen Lang, is it really a human walker who killed several spider mothers?"

The man in purple said:

"Spider Mother's human walkers in Luling Mansion, there are a total of seven people, they are called sisters. Shen Lang killed six of them, and the rest of the peripheral forces were also wiped out, leaving behind the youngest Bai Shishi, who She brought it back to the capital."

Master Bailong thought for a while, and then showed a sneer:
"I see!"

The man in purple said:

"Teacher knows who killed Fifth Junior Brother? But what about Shen Lang?"

Master Bailong snorted coldly:
"If you think so, you're right in the spider mother's arms."

The man in purple said blankly:

"This... disciple is stupid, please enlighten me, teacher."

Master Bailong stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced and pondered for a while, and said slowly:

"Spider Mother's human walker, there are seven people in total, six of them were killed by Shen Lang, and the only one left was also bewitched and betrayed by Shen Lang. But as a human walker of Xingyuan Demon God, there must be a demon god in the primordial spirit." How easy is it to betray the stigma of others?
"So, as soon as Shen Lang came to the capital with that white poem, Yan Tianying and Chang Yuzhen took them to pay a visit to Fa Liuli. It is only because Fa Liuli has the ability to erase the demon god in Bai Shishi's primordial spirit brand.

"As for Shen Lang, who killed six spider mother walkers and bewitched another one, he has already formed a great karma with the spider mother. With the temperament of the Star Abyss Demon God, how could he not want revenge? This also requires Fa Liuli's help. Cut off the karma between Shen Lang and the Spider Mother."

Having said that, Master Bailong already has a plan in mind:
"Shen Lang and Bai Shishi have been in Beijing for two months, and they are still alive and kicking, apparently with the help of Fa Liuli, Yan Tianying, and Chang Yuzhen, they have blocked the spider mother's revenge.

"No matter how strong the spider mother is, she is not in the human world after all, and she can no longer attack Yan Tianying, Chang Yuzhen, and even Shen Lang and Bai Shishi under the protection of Fa Liuli, so they thought of another strategy.

"This strategy is to send another human walker to assassinate Lao Wu after Lao Wu fails to recruit Shen Lang and has a verbal conflict with him. Let me suspect Shen Lang and use my hand to kill Shen Lang for revenge."

The man in purple didn't understand and said:

"However, although Shen Lang is brave and good at fighting, and has repeatedly defeated the strong with the weak and the many with the few, his realm is not too high. His residence is also an ordinary residence, far less heavily guarded than the fifth junior brother's residence.

"The terrestrial walker sent by the spider mother has the ability to sneak into this place to assassinate the fifth junior brother. Wouldn't it be easier to kill Shen Lang? Why bother, go around such a big circle, and use the teacher's hand to kill Shen Lang for revenge?"

Master Bailong smiled slightly, and said lightly:
"Because Yan Tianying, Chang Yuzhen, and Fa Liuli also have enmity with Spider Mother.

"This enmity is not because they helped Shen Lang and Bai Shishi block the spider mother's revenge, but because when Yan Tianying and others strengthened the seal of the Yunding Demon Palace more than two months ago, they defeated a monster with the power of the seal. The projection incarnation of the Spider Mother prevented the Spider Mother from eating and destroying the seal.

"The Star Abyss Demon God is so chaotic and crazy, he must retaliate. The spider mother was ruined by Yan Tianying and others, but how can she not hate it? It's a pity that the world is the home of me and other first-ranks. No matter how strong the spider mother is, there is a magic palace seal to stop her. He also couldn't cast enough power to take revenge on Yan Tianying and the others.

"Because of this, after failing to retaliate against Shen Lang and Bai Shishi, and being blocked by Yan Tianying and others, the old hatred added new hatred, so he came up with this plan to kill two birds with one stone."

The man in purple suddenly said:

"I understand! The spider mother can send a human walker to kill Shen Lang, but in this way, at most, she can only get revenge on Shen Lang and Bai Shishi, but she still can't help Yan Tianying, Wanfa Daoist, Liuli Zun By.

"However, on the night when the Fifth Junior Brother had a conflict with Shen Lang, if he killed the Fifth Junior Brother, it would be logical to provoke the teacher to suspect Shen Lang and even kill him.

"Once Shen Lang is killed by the teacher, given the importance Yan Tianying attaches to Shen Lang, he may conflict with the teacher. In this way, the spider mother can take revenge on Yan Tianying and others at the hands of the teacher!"

Having said that, he bowed deeply to Master Bailong, and said in a tone of admiration:

"The teacher saw through Wanli, and saw through the spider mother's tricks at a glance. If it were a disciple, I'm afraid that Shen Lang was the murderer, and he wanted to seek revenge on Shen Lang. In this way, the spider mother killed two birds with one stone. trick!"

Master Bailong said lightly:
"It's nothing special for a teacher to see the truth. It's just that he knows more and more comprehensive information than you, and his thoughts are deeper than yours."

The man in purple said:

"However, there is still one thing that I don't understand. How did the Spider Mother know that Fifth Junior Brother had conflicted with Shen Lang?"

Master Bailong said lightly:
"Karma and fate are both mysterious and mysterious. Even though Shen Lang blocked the spider mother's revenge with the help of Fa Liuli and others, but if he wanted to completely cut off the karma of a demon god, even Fa Liuli, who is proficient in 'fate mastery', would not be able to do so." Not caught.

"I guess Fa Liuli and the others only temporarily repelled the spider mother, but did not completely cut off the cause and effect, so that Shen Lang was still under the spider mother's gaze.

"But Yan Tianying's gang has always been a gang to the end, and will never give up halfway. And Chang Yuzhen and Fa Liuli are best friends...

"So I predict that there must be an exorcism treasure made by Yan Tianying through Chang Yuzhen's mouth on Shen Lang. Blocked by this exorcism treasure, after the spider mother is repelled once, she will not be able to take revenge on Shen Lang easily. Lang can only keep an eye on him.

"If you pay attention, then you can know the conflict between Shen Lang and the fifth child."

He raised his hand and pointed to Zhong Yuanzhi's corpse, which was still slumped by the door of the small hall:
"This son was originally the lackey of the fifth child, but he was willing to guard the gate for the assassin, resisting the four flesh and blood puppets. The assassin was able to sneak in here and get close to the fifth man, it must be because of this son. Afterwards, his soul was annihilated, and his physical memory was also erased Except for everything, this is exactly the spider mother's method.

"As far as I know, this method is called 'Silk-drawing Opera'. The primordial spirit is bound by spider silk, and people can be used as marionettes to manipulate their every move. After the spider thread is ignited, the primordial spirit can be burned. Erase all memory."

The man in purple admired:

"The teacher is pedantic about heaven and man, and can even understand the methods of demon gods. But if this is the case, who should we seek revenge?"

The spider mother is far away in the star abyss, and cannot come to the world.

Human monks can enter and leave the Genting Demon Palace at will, and even enter the abyss.

But even a first-rank monk can only be active in Yunding Demon Palace.

If you go deep into the star abyss, within a very short period of time, you will be distorted and corrupted by the star abyss devil energy, turning into a distorted monster that loses itself.

Unless the demon monk from Xueqian first uses the blood sacrifice method of the demon way to break through to the first rank, then he can continue to maintain his will while "ascension" to the star abyss and at the same time of "transcendent immortality".

So it is obviously impossible to seek revenge from the spider mother, neither can enter the star abyss, nor can it beat the demon god.

Are you looking for the spider mother's human walker?

But Lian Yunxiao was killed at the scene without leaving any clues. Where can I find the mysterious spider mother walker?
"This Zhong Yuanzhi used a 'white tiger cub' to get close to the fifth child?"

"Yes. The four flesh and blood puppets all witnessed this."

"Hmph, in today's world, how can there be pure-blooded divine beasts? The so-called white tiger cubs were clearly transformed by assassins! They took advantage of the weakness of the fifth child who was eager to obtain top-quality alien beasts and refine clones..."

"The teacher is saying that the assassin can transform into a strange beast? This is an extremely brilliant method of Taoism! But isn't the assassin a martial artist who has at least a third-rank entry?"

"The art of transformation can also be blessed by other people. However, the art of transforming into a strange beast is quite remote, and there is a hidden danger of dementia and animalization. Authentic monks don't bother to practice it. There are not enough heretics and mountain cultivators. The authentic Taoism can be cultivated, so I have to use various side-door spells to fill the gaps."

Master Bailong lowered his eyelids, his eyes were dark:
"After the next year, I will go to Yunding Demon Palace to take turns guarding the seal. At that time, I will ask someone to figure out the whereabouts of the spider mother walker. Then... Tell the God of Catching Hall to let Yan Tianying continue to fight with the spider mother. No matter where If one side loses, it is my victory."

Everything related to the demon god is of course extremely difficult to predict.

But as long as there is a suitable medium, even if it is related to the demon god, it can be counted.

And Lian Yunxiao has a feud with the spider mother's human walker.

Even if the body is missing, the cause and effect are so deep, Master Bailong who has mastered Lian Yunxiao's birth date, five elements attributes, and many relics can use these as a medium to ask someone to divination the assassin's whereabouts.

Not to mention the key information about the assassin's transformation into a white tiger cub.

"The teacher is wise!"

The man in purple patted and asked again:

"Then how should Shen Lang deal with it?"

According to the teacher, Shen Lang is the deadly enemy of the spider mother, if he wants to take revenge on the spider mother, not only must he not be touched, but he must be kept alive, so that he can better revenge on the spider mother.

"Shen Lang..."

Master Bailong pondered for a while, and then slowly said:

"This son is of no importance at all, but since Lao Wu values ​​Shen Lang and wants to recruit him, as a master, I have to help Lao Wu to fulfill this last wish...

"Since Shen Lang is a brave and good fighter, and has long been enmity with the Spider Mother, after calculating the trace of the Spider Mother's walker in the world and informing the God Catching Hall, Shen Lang will definitely go out to fight.

"At that time, let Shen Lang disappear in a reasonable manner during the battle with the spider mother walker. In this way, Yan Tianying and the spider mother will fight more fiercely."

The man in purple gave another deep bow and said in admiration:
"Teacher's plan can not only take revenge on the spider mother, but also weaken the Shenzhutang. It also helps the fifth junior brother to fulfill his last wish. It is really killing three birds with one stone. I admire it!"

Master Bailong said lightly:
"Before that, don't worry too much. Let Shen Lang happily spend the last festival of his life."

"Disciple understands. By the way, the news of Fifth Junior Brother's death..."

"Don't announce it to the public until you catch the person who assassinated Lao Wu. Just say that Lao Wu went to retreat to practice."

"Yes. In addition, Fifth Junior Brother also has a lackey named Wang Anguo, who is a fifth-rank Dharma cultivator. When the disciples asked Wang Anguo for information, he was quite concerned about Fifth Junior Brother's situation, and repeatedly inquired about Fifth Junior Brother's current situation. , and expressed his loyalty to the fifth junior brother in front of his disciples many times."

"He's a good dog. Since he is so loyal and has a fifth-grade cultivation, he can barely be used, so let him reward him with a future and invite him to work in the Mysterious Tower."

"Yes."

……

It was dawn.

The yamen of Shenzhutang, Baishishi's dormitory.

In front of the bed, Bai Shishi, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, let out a long breath, and the condensed breath, like an arrow, flew five feet away and hit the door panel with a puff, knocking the door panel out of the way. through holes.

Bai Shishi opened her eyes, looked at the small hole on the door panel, and looked at Shen Lang on the couch with surprise:
"I've recovered my fifth-grade cultivation!"

Shen Lang smiled slightly: "Congratulations."

Bai Shishi's pretty face flushed, unable to hold back her joy, she asked crisply:
"What kind of panacea is that, and why is it so effective that it can restore me to the fifth-rank cultivation in one night?"

Although she was able to recover the fifth rank, it was also related to the fact that her meridians had already been tempered, and her cultivation had once reached the fifth rank. She already had a solid foundation, but the effectiveness of this panacea was even more critical.

If she doesn't have this panacea, she can rely on her own cultivation. In the situation where she can only eat the welfare resources of the God Catching Hall, but does not have much money to buy other cultivation resources, if she wants to restore her fifth-rank cultivation base, she will have to do it at least. It took a year of hard work.

Now a panacea can actually save her a year of hard work, its effectiveness is simply unimaginable.

Shen Langxin said that using "thousand-year-old ichthyosaur wood" as the main material, the panacea specially refined for warriors, could the effect be bad?
This level of heaven, material and earth treasures is still in stock in the hands of Bailong and Qiankun.

Brother Lang, my Yulongmu is still just a small tree. Even with the blessing of the little rabbit's planting ability, it is far less effective than the thousand-year-old Yulongmu.

But of course you can't tell Bai Shishi about this.

Even if she can swear to keep it secret, Faxiu still has a way to pry her mouth open.

At the moment he just smiled and exhorted:

"Moduo asked, knowing too much is not good for you. Don't tell others about this, or you may have trouble later."

Bai Shishi had already trusted Shen Lang unconditionally, so she no longer asked the truth at this time, and nodded vigorously:

"I understand, I don't tell anyone about this."

After a pause, he looked at the crocodile armor placed on the table next to him:
"Then this soft armor?"

Shen Lang chuckled:
"This soft armor is no longer a problem, it can be worn openly and aboveboard. This armor will not drown in water, will not burn in case of fire, and can withstand standard flintlock bullets fired from twenty paces away. However, it cannot resist the melee attacks of martial arts masters. , it can’t stop spells, it can only make you a little bit safer, don’t be careless because of this.”

"I see."

Bai Shishi nodded and asked him again:

"Is your injury better?"

"It's much better."

"Continue to rest in the yamen today?"

Shen Lang pondered in his heart:

Yan Tianying was not in the yamen last night, but no one came to the Shenchuangtang to question the crime. The matter should have been concealed for the time being.

After all, when Lian Yunxiao inquired about "Shen Lang" in the Taoist Academy, even the concierge, Uncle Zhang, knew about it, and there were quite a few students from the Taoist Academy who wanted to know about it.And he refused to even Yunxiao's solicitation, the four flesh and blood puppets, and Wang Anguo also knew about it.

Master Bailong can easily find out that the only outsider who has recently intersected with Lian Yunxiao and had minor conflicts is him, Shen Lang.

If he wanted to ask the teacher for his crimes, he should have come to the Yamen to arrest him while Yan Tianying was away.

If this worst situation really happens, Shen Lang will not be helpless.

He knew that Yan Tianying was accompanying Daoist Wanfa in Yunding Demon Palace, and Venerable Liuli was also there.

And in his hand, he has a sword talisman that can "send text messages" to Master Wanfa, so he can avoid entering the Jingbi space first and send a text message.

Master Wanfa knew about it, and so did Yan Tianying and Venerable Liuli.

Venerable Liuli knew that this "born Buddha son" was in danger, so he must come to save him.

Under the "Shenzutong" of a thousand miles in one step, the distance of more than 3000 miles is just three or four steps.

Maybe Fa Liuli had already rushed to the Yamen of the Shenzhutang before Master Bailong discovered the abnormality of "pointing the fine brush" and blocked Master Bailong.

When Yan Tianying and Wanfa Daoist come back with the flying magic weapon, the crisis will be easily resolved.

Anyway, Shen Lang's counterattack was well-founded, who told Lian Yunxiao to send an assassin to kill him first, and still have the confidence to admit it?

Of course, this is the worst case.

If it really reached that step, it would be tantamount to publicly tearing faces with Bailong Daoist. In the future, Shen Lang might only be able to stay in the yamen of Shenzhutang, and he would not even think about going anywhere.

This worst-case scenario is not happening now.

Even at dawn, no one came to question him. Apparently, Master Bailong was misled by the traces of power deliberately left by the little spider.

After all, except for Mu Qingxue who witnessed him borrowing the power of the little spider's nightmare, who in the world can imagine that he, who has a deep hatred with the spider mother, can borrow the power of the spider mother?
With Daoist Bailong's cultivation base, he must be able to find the traces of the demon god power left by the little spider, which is exclusive to the spider mother.

However, with Daren's superb vision and extraordinary wisdom, and under the premise of lacking key information, relying entirely on reasoning, then according to the existing clues, with the most reasonable and logical reasoning, 100% suspect that this is the spider mother killing two birds with one stone. count.

It's not that Master Bailong is stupid, on the contrary, it's precisely because he's too smart, yet he lacks the most crucial clue that "Shen Lang can borrow the power of the spider mother".

If it was someone who was a little stupid, maybe he would have come to Shen Lang directly.

Now that the first night, which should have been the most dangerous, has been safely passed, then, at least in a short period of time, there should be no blows from Bailong Zhenren's side.

But Shen Lang wouldn't just sit back and relax.

Real people's thoughts are hard to fathom.

In particular, Master Bailong is still the most unreasonable, and least needing to be reasonable, from the royal family, and he is also the royal family with the most gold content, such as the grandson of Chu Taizu.

God knows if because of Lian Yunxiao's death, he will vent his anger on Shen Lang, who was the last one who had a conflict with Lian Yunxiao.

Maybe because of that little "verbal conflict", he would kill Shen Lang to vent his anger on Lian Yunxiao, so as to comfort his disciple's spirit in heaven.

Now that Mu Qingxue is not at home, there is no goddess in Shen's house that makes people dare not act rashly, so...

"Until I recover from my injury, I'd better stay in the yamen to recuperate. Anyway, I was assassinated by a lot of well-known black market killers last night. I was injured a lot because of this, and I have lingering fears. Hiding in the yamen, safety first, is reasonable .”

This is not cowardice, this is stability.

"Then you can live in my room. I'll clean up an empty room next door and live there. Call me anytime you need it."

For the word "need", Bai Shishi deliberately bit the accent and gave Shen Lang a wink.

"Tsk, this is the yamen dormitory, please be serious."

"Hahaha, just kidding..."

"By the way, later, please entrust a colleague to my house to help bring the horse here, so as not to starve the horse to death."

"You don't need to hire someone, do you? I'll bring it over for you."

"Don't leave the yamen for now, just take the last two days off in the yamen to consolidate your cultivation."

"Uh, is it necessary to be so careful?"

"be careful and live long."

"Okay then. By the way, are you hungry, I'll feed you next time."

"...His mouth again!"

"Where is it?"

"Your expression just now has already explained everything."

"I'm going, you can understand this? When I first heard Yue Linger say this joke, I was completely confused! It seems that you are not an honest monk!"

"I never said that I was an honest monk. Don't talk nonsense. I'm really hungry now. Go to the cafeteria and help me get some food. You know my appetite."

"Okay, just wait, I'll be back soon."

After finishing speaking, Bai Shishi opened the closet first, took a bag of clothes, and then hurried out.

After waiting for half an hour, Bai Shishi, who claimed to be "coming soon", came back with a huge lunch box.

As for why it's so late...

Well, she returned to the hot dress she had when they first met—only a black tube top on her upper body, revealing her fragrant shoulders and jade neck, delicate collarbone, snow-white lower abdomen, and even her drop-shaped navel was exposed.

She was wearing a short black skirt, showing her slender calves, and even half of her snow-white round thighs.

On the outside, she wore a black long gown with a double-breasted waist and a slit hem, which vividly outlined the beautiful and seductive waist-hip curve.

"Sorry, after I came back from lunch, I went to the next room to tidy up the room, and changed my clothes by the way..."

Bai Shishi walked in swayingly with a food box in her hand, and smiled at Shen Lang:
"Does it look good?"

My buddy's ex-girlfriend is the "Sister Zi Tong" who reunited in the nightmare of the spider mother and insisted on pulling me to prove it. She even showed me the bikini, and it was the smallest one.There's really nothing unusual about you.

Shen Lang said in his heart, with a calm expression on his face, he said lightly:
"It's not bad, it's in good shape."

Well, in terms of appearance, Bai Shishi is on par with Zitong, but as a third-rank martial artist who has come all the way from body training, her figure is much better.

Bai Shishi pouted, with a resentful expression on her face:
"Although the words are praising me, your expression feels insincere."

"It's almost done!" Shen Lang rolled his eyes: "I've already praised you, what else do you want me to do? Jump up and hug you, and use your hands up and down?"

Bai Shishi twisted the corner of her clothes, making a shy gesture:
"Then, then you are stronger than me. If you really want to be like that, even a weak woman is powerless to resist..."

"I go!"

Shen Lang glared at her, and jumped off the bed:

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, I'm starving to death, hurry up and eat. Besides, you are in the yamen now, and you are wearing a sinful body, pay attention to your image. Don't wear this body casually."

"Meaning it's best worn only in front of you, right? I get it."

Bai Shishi giggled, opened the lunch box, took out three dishes and one soup, plus four steamed buns, four pancakes with meat, and four boiled eggs, "I told you that I changed it in the next room when I came back from the meal." The one in this suit didn’t wear it to the cafeteria.”

"I don't mean that. Originally, you can wear whatever you like, even if you go around without clothes, I don't care. It's just that we are decent people now, and we have to dress more decently. Besides, you wear this suit, How should I wear the soft armor of shark silk?"

The gauze soft armor is a vest style, and it doesn't match Bai Shishi's outfit at all.

"Okay, I understand. In short, I will only wear it for you to see from now on. Well, I will change the clothes back later."

"It's said that it doesn't matter to me how you dress... This is enough for me, right? What about yours?"

"Maybe it's because of that elixir, I'm not hungry at all now."

"Well, that elixir can not only improve the skill, but also has the effect of increasing the vitality of the blood and strengthening the muscles and bones. You have not been refining the pill for a long time, and now the vitality of the blood is flourishing, but it is true that you will not be hungry. Then I will not Feel free to eat."

"You eat, I'll make the bed."

After Shen Lang sat at the table and ate, Bai Shishi said while making the bed:
"When I was eating in the dining hall, I heard from a few officials who were going to have breakfast that Mr. Yan has already returned to the Yamen. Do you want to report to him what happened last night?"

Shen Lang pondered for a while, and said slowly:

"It's true that there is a big matter that needs to be reported to Master Yan."

It doesn't matter whether you tell Yan Tianying about killing Lian Yunxiao or not.

But Yan Tianying had to know about the secret method of "Five Thunders Bombing the Top" in Lian Yunxiao's storage space.

Otherwise, if Master Wulei really had a secret appointment with Master Bailong, but Yan Tianying didn't know about it, he might suffer a big loss in the future.

After finishing breakfast, Shen Lang wiped his mouth, got up and went out:
"I'm going to see Mr. Yan, you are good at cultivating and consolidating your realm."

"Don't you need me to help you? Your leg..."

Bai Shishi's voice stopped abruptly, because Shen Lang, who was walking outside the door, seemed to be well.

After a night of recuperation, he took the high-quality healing elixir that Lian Yunxiao carried with him, Xiao Tuji gave him the "Small Return to Heaven" all night, Shen Lang himself kept using various healing spells, and there were two more healing spells. The strong resilience of the first-level "vitality enhancement", the serious injury last night that was enough to turn an ordinary warrior into a cripple, although it has not completely healed, it does not affect daily actions.

Even if you use force, there will be some problems.

The ligaments, bones, meridians, and pubic region have not yet healed, and strenuous exercise is not allowed for the time being.

However, there is no problem with casting spells.

After all, the injuries last night were mainly caused by the super lore, and the injuries were mainly concentrated on the flesh.

Although his mental strength was also exhausted in the overloaded burst of lore sword, his soul and sea of ​​consciousness were both safe and sound.

After taking some elixir to restore energy last night, I can already cast healing spells.

After leaving the dormitory, Shen Lang blessed himself with a "Spiritual Flying Technique", and immediately became as light as a swallow, and it became easier to walk, and it was not a problem to climb over the wall.

As he walked towards the small building where Yan Tianying worked, he pondered that he had to learn a few more spells to strengthen his strength and physique in a short period of time.

In this way, if he bursts out to the limit and uses the lore swordsmanship with overload, not only the power of the swordsmanship will be greater, but the body will also be able to withstand the backlash, so that he will not be injured as badly as last night.

"There seem to be quite a lot of such spells..."

Shen Lang rummaged through the spell database scanned by Little Moon for a while by keyword, and sure enough, he found quite a few such spells.

Temporary increases in power include: the power of running a bull, the power of crouching a tiger, the power of carrying a tripod, nine bulls and two tigers, the power of King Kong...

From the ninth rank to the fifth rank, there are spells that increase power.

There are also spells that temporarily increase the physique: copper head and iron shoulders, copper heart and iron lung, endless life... and so on.

And the spells that increase physical fitness basically have the effect of improving defense.

Many bless defensive spells, such as "Reinforced Iron Bone Technique", can also temporarily strengthen some physique and increase some strength to a certain extent.

Shen Lang focused on marking a few spells that can be learned at this stage and will not occupy important spell slots, and he plans to practice them one by one in the near future.

"In this way, I have to learn quite a lot of spells! There are still two spells for fifth ranks, three for sixth ranks, three for seventh ranks, even more for eighth ranks and ninth ranks... During this period of time before the year, I will retreat for a while to perfect all the spells."

Thinking all the way to Yan Tianying's small office building, Shen Lang restrained his thoughts, straightened his clothes, and walked into the building.

When he saw Yan Tianying, he was having breakfast.

For warriors of rank three or above, their appetite can return to normal.

A martial artist who has condensed the "Life and Death Aperture" can even fight high-intensity without eating or drinking for seven consecutive days under extreme conditions.The first-rank grand master is even more powerful. He can persist in fighting without eating or drinking for a month.

So Yan Tianying's breakfast is not big, just two white flour steamed buns and a bowl of egg drop soup.

Seeing Shen Lang, Yan Tianying smiled and said:
"Xiao Shen is here? Have you had breakfast yet?"

Shen Lang stepped forward and bowed his hands:
"Greetings, Lord Yan. Thank you for your care, Lord Yan, I have already eaten. This is what Lord Yan eats for breakfast?"

Yan Tianying smiled and said:
"In the past two years, the amount of food has become less and less. In fact, it is okay not to eat. The reason why you insist on three meals a day is just because you are greedy for fireworks in the world. By the way, I heard from Butou Zhu that you were attacked by a killer last night, and you suffered a little bit." hurt?"

"A little injury, it's fine."

"Don't try to be brave. The killers who can make a name for themselves in the black market all have one or two special skills, and some special skills and secret techniques are very vicious, which may leave hidden dangers..."

"Master Yan, my injuries last night were not caused by the killer. I caused them all myself. And the reason for my injuries is because I..."

Shen Lang's lips parted, and the voice was condensed into a bundle, which was directly transmitted to Yan Tianying's ears:

"I killed Lian Yunxiao."

"..."

Yan Tianying was startled, and his expression became serious.

Immediately with a wave of his sleeves, the doors and windows were all closed. At the same time, Shen Lang also noticed an invisible air force, which sealed off the entire room, making this room seem to be completely isolated from the outside world, and even the air no longer interacts with the outside world.

After completely sealing the room with Qi machine, Yan Tianying asked via voice transmission just now:
"What's the specific situation? You tell me one by one from the beginning to the end."

Shen Lang started from the fact that Lian Yunxiao sent someone to invite him yesterday morning with the intention of soliciting him, and explained in detail the benefits and rhetoric that Lian Yunxiao used to bribe him.

Afterwards, he lurked and assassinated the eighteen killers, and he slightly modified the story of his anti-killing. He only said that he used the two spells of summoning Taoist soldiers and summoning monsters to drive the Taoists and monsters to wipe out the killers. A killer interrogates.

As for Mei Nu's self-exposure of possession, Lian Yunxiao's unscrupulousness should be highlighted to highlight Lian Yunxiao's fearlessness.

In the end, the method of assassinating Lian Yunxiao was not stated in detail, but only briefly mentioned, and Yan Tianying would not mind if he kept some of his own little secrets.

But counter-killing even Yunxiao is not the focus.

The real point is the secret technique of "five lightning strikes".

Shen Lang took out the scroll of Taoism and presented it to Yan Tianying's desk - of course the spell has been scanned, it doesn't matter whether he has this scroll or not.

"Lord Yan, this is the scroll that records the secret technique of the Five Thunders Bouncing the Top. I have heard Mr. Mu mention that this thunder technique is the exclusive secret technique of Wulei Daoist's family, and it has never been spread. Therefore, it is stored in Lian Yunxiao. After seeing this thing, I thought it was very suspicious, but I didn't dare to speculate, so I came here to report it to Master Yan."

Yan Tianying looked at the unfolded scroll and tapped his fingers on the table with a serious expression.

After a long silence, he said slowly:
"Reverend Wulei...Although the Taoism is violent, he has always been low-key, quite aloof from the world...I have a personal relationship with him, but every time he strengthens the seal of the Yunding Demon Palace, he will work tirelessly..."

Having said that, he shook his head and sighed softly:
"It is indeed doubtful that this secret art scroll appeared in Lian Yunxiao's storage space. I will discuss this matter with Yuzhen and carefully consider it. Little Shen, please don't spread the word."

"My subordinate understands."

"Also, you were a little reckless in assassinating Lian Yunxiao."

"I didn't leave any traces at the scene, and no one saw me shoot..."

"However, no matter how clean you are, even if Master Bailong won't suspect you, just because you have refused Lian Yunxiao's offer, Master Bailong will take revenge on you and kill you."

"As for the unreasonableness of the royal family, I have actually expected it."

"But you still decided to do it."

Shen Lang spread his hands and said helplessly:
"Lian Yunxiao failed to recruit me in the morning, but sent killers to kill me in the evening, and confessed without fear... He is so vindictive and unscrupulous, I can't imagine what kind of means he will use after a few more days of delay.

"Maybe, even my colleagues who are a little closer to me will be retaliated by him. I don't have the capital to fight with him for a long time, so I can only cut the mess quickly."

Yan Tianying thought for a while, and soon realized that with Shen Lang's identity, status, and resources, he was indeed not qualified to fight with someone like the little celestial master Lian Yunxiao for a long time.

And the help Yan Tianying can give Shen Lang is to ensure that Master Bailong will not bully the small with the big, and personally help his disciples deal with Shen Lang.But he couldn't give Shen Lang and Lian Yunxiao equal resources.

It's not that he didn't want to, but he didn't.

"Lian Yunxiao is dead, Master Bailong will definitely retaliate against you. All I can do is to ensure that he does not dare to bully the younger and take action against you personally. But Master Bailong still has four personal disciples, three of whom are disciples. His whereabouts are hidden, only the fourth disciple has been following him to do things, and his cultivation base is also fourth grade."

Yan Tianying said slowly:
"You were able to kill Lian Yunxiao by surprise. It's a fluke. The fourth disciple of Bailong is far superior to Lian Yunxiao in strength and rich in experience. He is not as talented and arrogant as Lian Yunxiao. If he attacks you, It's a big threat to you."

Shen Lang smiled and said:

"Don't worry, my lord, as long as you give me a certain amount of time, I will not be afraid of senior fourth-rank Dharma practitioners."

Now Lian Yunxiao has supported him with a wave of powerful equipment and pills, and Xiaogu is about to be promoted to the third level, and he himself has decided to retreat and practice.

When his strength has improved in an all-round way, if he really wants to meet the four disciples of Master Bailong, even if he confronts him head-on, he may not be afraid.

Yan Tianying nodded slowly:
"During this period of time, you will stay in the yamen on duty and practice. There is no shortage of excuses for the fact that you were 'injured' due to the assassin's ambush last night."

"Yes, this subordinate thinks so too."

When it was over, Shen Lang couldn't help asking:
"Master Yan, the real people of the royal family are so selfish, and are even suspected of colluding with demon gods and harming innocent people. Why do you still tolerate them? Why can't you..."

Yan Tianying smiled:

"You mean, I'm invincible in the world, why don't I overthrow the real people of the two royal families, even kill the emperor, and take the bird seat?"

Shen Lang touched the back of his head and laughed dryly:
"Then what... I didn't say that."

Yan Tianying said lightly:

"I used to complain about the court and the royal family, Xiaomu also mentioned it to you, right?

"Yes, I am indeed not a foolish and loyal person. If possible, I am not afraid of risking the world. But... the background of the Great Chu royal family is far beyond your imagination. Bailong and Qiankun are personal None of them are as strong as me, but the power they possess is actually superior to mine.

"If that's the only thing, that's all. Careerists have a [-]% chance of daring to make a move. What's more, if I make a move, I'm at least four or five percent sure? Ku?"

He sighed:
"I'm not sure how to quickly kill Bailong, Qiankun, and overthrow the royal family. Once it becomes a long-term confrontation, there will be evil spirits and ghosts taking advantage of the chaos. At that time, it may turn into the end of the previous dynasty, with demons dancing wildly, demons and ghosts everywhere, and no one survives. Then I, Yan Tianying, will die without atonement!
"Another one, so what if I succeed in overthrowing Great Chu? How heroic was Taizu Chu? Is it like this now?

"Even if I have the ability to overthrow the Great Chu, I have no ability to find a better system, let alone ensure that future generations can abide by their heart and take pity on the people like me. Even if you make Shen Lang emperor, you go Afterwards, can you guarantee that the descendants of the Shen family will be as jealous as you are?"

Shen Lang originally wanted to say that there is no perfect system in the world.

As long as a system is formulated and implemented by people, it will have flaws, and there will be countless loopholes that can be exploited.

But even so, even a slight improvement over the current system is a good thing.

But before he could speak, Yan Tianying continued:
"In addition to internal causes, there are also external causes. Today's 'world' is no longer limited to the eastern lands and the barbarians. Now that maritime trade is booming, Western countries have invaded Nanyang, and they are also eyeing our eastern lands.

"You may not know how strong the Western countries are. Because of their practice system, which is fundamentally different from our Eastern soil system, the success rate of Western ninth-level powerhouses is much higher than that of Eastern soil. Although their individual strength is not as good as Eastern soil's first-rank , but the advantage lies in the large number.

"The nine strongest countries in the West, each country has a ninth-level powerhouse equivalent to a real person of the first rank, ranging from one or two people to as many as two or three people. There is also a church of gods above them, which can interfere in the human world.

"Although the Western countries are constantly at odds with each other, there are frequent wars, and the churches of the gods also have conflicts and conflicts due to competition for beliefs, but they agree with each other when it comes to our eastern land. They all covet the land and wealth of the eastern land. The gods are even more coveted. The huge population of the East...

"No matter how selfish Bailong and Qiankun are, their existence is a kind of deterrent to the Western countries. Now that the Dawei Bodhisattva has fallen into the devil, and the Dragon King of the Seven Seas has gone away, there are only seven first-ranks left in the Eastern Land. Kill Bailong, Qiankun, and even in the chaotic battle, no matter how many wounds, one or two real people will be killed...

"Western countries will allied forces to invade the East. Even if they want to be wary of each other, they dare not send out the ninth-level powerhouses, and each family keeps one ninth-level powerhouse to guard the country. They can also send more than ten ninth-level powerhouses to attack. .

"How can our very few first-ranks in the East be able to withstand so many ninth-ranks in the West, and even the incarnations of gods?
"At that time, my eastern land will fall and be divided up by Western countries. All the land and wealth in the eastern land will be plundered. The people in the eastern land will also speak Western dialects, believe in Western gods, and even forget their ancestors and civilization."

Hearing this, Shen Lang couldn't help asking:
"If such a situation happens, will the immortals of the Eastern Land just stand by and watch?"

Yan Tianying said lightly:

"Don't count on the immortals. In the last years of the previous dynasty, when there was a severe drought for five years and a severe flood for ten years, where were the immortals? In troubled times, hegemony, blood sacrifices by demon gods, and rampant demons and ghosts, the people in the eastern lands were gone for a while, and the immortals were there again." Where? Could it be that when the Western countries invaded, the earth immortals suddenly found out their conscience and came to save the world?

"Cultivation is an extremely selfish thing. Practitioners are a group of extremely selfish people. Earth Immortals can throw away all fetters, parents, relatives, descendants, relatives and friends, only for themselves to transcend longevity, not like Western gods Similarly, there is a need for faith and will, why should they care about human affairs?

"I am free and unrestrained, what does it have to do with me when you sink into the sea of ​​suffering?"

Having said that, he got up and walked to Shen Lang's side, and lightly patted Shen Lang on the shoulder:

"Immortals are unreliable, and we can only rely on ourselves as mortals."
