I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 525: Corpse Resolves Confusion, Standpoint (5k)

At the border between Nanwu County and Haixi County, Huang Zhiji of Maoshan was standing on a rock, wearing a yellow Taoist robe. The wind blew his robe, revealing his shorts and flip-flops underneath.

He went down the mountain to gain experience, and was overwhelmed with missions in Nanwu County. He had seen a lot of big and small, messy things, and all kinds of grudges and entanglements.

This was a rare mission in which several counties acted together. Huang Zhiji was on vacation when he heard the news. He was nearby and was so excited that he didn't even shower or change clothes. He just came here in flip-flops, carrying his bag.

Now looking at the captured guy, he has a melancholy face. I thought he was a difficult guy.

I didn't expect it to be just a raccoon cat. Apart from its high level of transformation, everything else is very ordinary.

But that transformation technique also has a big flaw. After the transformation, there will be severe dark circles under the eyes.

But for those field workers, these dark circles are not a defect at all.

Other people are celebrating the New Year, which has not yet ended, while most of the field staff in the Lieyang Department only have one day off on the first day of the New Year. The rest of the time, they are even busier than usual.

It is normal to have dark circles under the eyes at this time.

This is also the reason why the raccoon cat transformed into a field worker and almost deceived others and escaped the encirclement.

Huang Zhiji canceled his vacation at the last minute just to come to the rescue.

Who would have thought that this raccoon cat was a mess except for the art of transformation, and was almost killed on the spot after being hit by a thunder talisman.

Fortunately, Huang Zhiji was in a hurry to go out, otherwise, he would have been more focused and would have directly collected its body.

The merits accumulated by capturing someone alive and killing him on the spot are naturally different.

Huang Zhiji was not clear about the specific details of the case, but he was also clear that if several counties worked together to arrest someone, the intelligence value of the living person must be very high.

He jumped down from the stone, looked at the raccoon cat lying on the ground twitching, and glanced at the charred layer of skin next to it. Just one look at it, even without smelling it, made him instinctively feel uncomfortable.

If nothing unexpected happens, it is a layer of human skin, and the processing workmanship is very ordinary.

The raccoon cat was just wearing this layer of human skin to conceal its own breath and withstand most of the damage from the thunder talisman.

Huang Zhiji took two steps forward and saw that the amplitude of the raccoon cat's twitching seemed to have changed slightly, and he laughed.

"I advise you not to wait for me to get close and then attack me.

If my master knew that I was ambushed by a demon like this, he would probably beat me with his Lightning Thunder Fist on the spot and leave me unable to get out of bed for half a year.

At such a close distance, if I were to react in a threatening manner, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to control my strength and would kill you on the spot."

Huang Zhiji tried to persuade the civet cat, and the twitching civet cat struggled to raise its head, but it was unclear whether it had given up struggling.

The Lightning Thunder Fist of the Maoshan Sect Leader is the most famous because of its great power. After he unleashes it, even the Maoshan Sect Leader himself cannot stop it, and those who are hit will either die or be crippled.

If the opponent happens to use a professional thunder method, it is basically equivalent to death.

Thunder magic is just a big framework, and the thunder magic used against different creatures is different.

The thunder method used against ghosts is completely different from the thunder method used against humans.

If you use the thunder method designed for ghosts to fight against people, maybe your opponent will be able to take it with his bare hands.

It seems that after this subdivision, its adaptability has weakened, but if it is targeted, its power will far exceed that of the universal thunder method.

Maoshan has done the most in-depth research on these things, and after combining them with martial arts, they have become extremely powerful in killing. Most importantly, the head of Maoshan does all these things without holding a ceremony.

The raccoon cat obviously knew these things which were considered common sense and did not dare to attempt a sneak attack on Huang Zhiji.

Huang Zhiji observed the human skin on the ground. There were signs of patchwork, but it could still be roughly seen that it should be a whole human skin.

"You are a raccoon cat. You don't need such a weird method to perform the art of transformation, right? Can you tell me what you think?"

The raccoon cat didn't say anything, but struggled to get up, sat there, motionless, looking at Huang Zhiji and sneering.

"Are you from Maoshan?"

"Maoshan disciple, Huang Zhiji."

"Heh, among all the three mountains and five peaks, your Maoshan is the most unique, coming up with something called Lightning Thunder Fist, which is neither martial arts nor Taoism. I'm afraid your leader, who looks the simplest on weekdays, is actually the one with the most ideas."

Huang Zhiji's face became serious. Whatever the two of them said was within the scope of debate, but when they started talking about his master, that was different.

However, before he could say anything else, he saw the light in the raccoon cat's eyes slowly fade away, and its shrunken pupils began to dilate.

Huang Zhiji's eyes changed slightly, and with a flick of his sleeves, a portable altar appeared in front of him, on which three incense sticks were burning quietly. He held the talisman in one hand and made a seal, and with the other hand he brushed his eyes with a green leaf.

Looking around, he saw nothing, but when he raised his head, he saw the shadow of a raccoon cat rising into the air and gradually disappearing in mid-air.

Huang Zhiji shook his wrist, put away the yellow talisman on his fingertips, and waited quietly there.

A moment later, the field staff of the Lieyang Tribe arrived and looked at the raccoon cat sitting on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Taoist Huang."

"Don't thank me, it transformed itself. I was careless and didn't stop it." Huang Zhiji sighed, pointed at the civet cat, and casually flicked a small stone onto the civet cat.

In an instant, the raccoon cat sitting there suddenly collapsed, leaving only a layer of skin. A pool of dirty blood oozed out from under the skin, and the flesh, blood, and bones inside disappeared.

“This guy originally wanted to attack me by surprise, but I scared him, so he transformed himself into a corpse, and his soul dissipated and returned to heaven and earth, just to avoid being caught alive.

Now I know why a civet cat would wear human skin.

It is not used to perform the art of transformation, but it can be used to perform the art of corpse transformation when necessary.

As soon as it was hit by my thunder talisman, it started casting spells.

Only at this time can he hide it from me, this guy is really decisive."

Huang Zhiji reacted quickly and immediately figured out the key. Only at that time, when the other party used human skin to cast spells, those powers would be suppressed and concealed by the thunder talisman, preventing him from sensing it.

He was so decisive, and he would even pretend to launch a sneak attack to delay time, and finally take the opportunity to humiliate his master to change the subject.

Huang Zhiji understood that this civet cat was smarter than he had expected, and what was to come was likely to be serious.

I'm afraid I'll have to write a detailed report when I get back.

I hate writing reports.

Huang Zhiji looked listless. He had finally gotten a big mission to capture the target, but the target committed suicide in front of him. He was in a bad mood.

After getting in the car and returning to the hotel, he started preparing to write the report without waiting for anyone to ask him.

I worked on it until midnight and finally finished it. The process was very detailed to ensure that no details were missed.

Huang Zhiji washed up exhausted, fell on the bed and fell asleep. Just as he fell asleep, he suddenly opened his eyes.

The surroundings became very quiet and it became pitch black outside the window, with no trace of light pollution at all.

Huang Zhiji frowned and immediately looked towards the head of the bed. There was a yellow talisman pasted on the headboard, but at this moment, the words written on the talisman suddenly became extremely unfamiliar.

He woke up immediately, realizing that he was dreaming.

He was just restricted to his physical body by his daily protection and was not pulled into deeper areas.

He pushed open the bedroom door and came outside, where he saw the raccoon cat, which had been dead during the day, sitting on the coffee table and licking its paws.

When Huang Zhiji saw the civet cat, his face darkened.

"No wonder you were so decisive in disembodiing your body during the day. It turns out you have a backup plan."

Huang Zhiji looked around and sneered disdainfully.

"If this is also considered a backup plan, it will only make you laugh. Without a body and soul, even if you are still conscious, what is the point of you? You will never be able to achieve enlightenment again. You can only linger here."

The raccoon's pupils shrank instantly, but it did not deny it.

Losing the body and soul is equivalent to dimensionality reduction. Even if the consciousness is still there, the road ahead will be much more difficult than before.

The only good thing is that he retained his consciousness, which means he was barely dead.

Unfortunately, Huang Zhiji, who was born in Maoshan and is well-informed, can only sneer and look down on this kind of path.

"You little demon, do you think that in this situation, I can't deal with you?"

"Don't be angry. Let's put aside what happened during the day. I came to you this time to ask you something. I want to give you some advice."

"You want to confuse my mind? Shake my consciousness?"

"You people from the Three Mountains and Five Peaks are really more arrogant than each other. In comparison, Wen Yan is a more gentle person than you at heart."

Huang Zhiji laughed in silence, thought about his experience with Wen Yan, and nodded.

"Indeed, Brother Wen is actually very gentle. He doesn't think that the sect's honor is more important than reason.
He would not look at people or aliens with his lower eyelids. Given the personalities of the seniors in Fuyu Mountain, they would not instill these things in him.

You little demon, you come to me at this time, are you trying to talk about something related to Brother Wen?"

“As a disciple of the Maoshan Sect Master, you must know Lieyang.

I would like to ask for your opinion.

At the same time, my master, I would like to ask you to give a message to the head of Maoshan.

Does Maoshan really want to see the scorching sun carved into the heavens?" Huang Zhiji looked at the civet cat as if he were looking at a freshly baked melon rind.

"I am also mentally ill. What am I talking to you about in the middle of the night?"

When he turned around and was about to enter the bedroom, the raccoon cat became anxious.

“I know that Wen Yan was cursed and his upper limit was limited, and he himself has no talent for cultivation.

But do any of you know that he not only has a divine talisman?

There is a high probability that he has a second divine talisman.

He couldn't make a breakthrough in martial arts, nor could he practice Taoism, but it didn't affect his growing strength at all.

Didn't any of you notice this?
Even the chief of the Lieyang tribe was obviously trying to balance the suppression of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks and help him accomplish what the Thirteen Patriarchs of Buyeo had not accomplished in another way.

You should all know what the consequences would be if he carved the scorching sun into the sky and lit up the stars.

Now those stupid water ghosts in the South China Sea all respect him as the Star God.

When that day really comes, he will be the star god of the world, and all the advantages of your three mountains and five peaks will disappear.

Are you really not clear?
It’s been less than half a year since he first appeared and reached his current strength!
Was it because of his extraordinary talent, his genius like a dragon, or was it because of the Fiery Sun, combined with the Fiery Sun Fist created by the Thirteenth and Sixteenth Patriarchs of Buyeo.

Don't you all know?

When that day comes, there will no longer be any mountains or peaks, and your advantages will no longer be advantages. "

Huang Zhiji didn't care about anything else. He was shocked by the second heaven-granted treasure scroll.

Wholesale? Is there a second heaven-granted treasure scroll?
What the hell?

really?
Huang Zhiji waved his hand and went into the bedroom. The raccoon cat was not giving up. He gritted his teeth and continued to shout from behind.

"Why do you think I know all this? The reason why I asked you to pass on a message is because there are people in the mountains and hills who don't want to see this day come to pass."

"Boom."

The bedroom door slammed shut, and the raccoon cat outside was struck hard, instantly flying backwards through the wall and disappearing.

On the bed in the bedroom, Huang Zhiji opened his eyes, sat up, and rubbed his sleepy head.

"You are talking nonsense..."

He could care less about other things. Even if the second divine talisman was real, he would at most be envious.

The ordination is something you cannot envy; this is not a competition about being first.

Everyone who should know knows how Wen Yan got his divine talisman, and no one can envy him. If they were to encounter the same thing, it would be difficult for these Taoists to make the same choice as Wen Yan.

But Huang Zhiji hesitated when he heard the raccoon cat's last sentence.

Of course he knew that what he said was probably true. When Lieyang first appeared, there had actually been a debate, and Huang Zhiji had heard about it.

However, later on, even the old Taoist priest himself failed to help Wen Yan establish the foundation of Taoism. His talent for Taoism was too poor, and he was destined to never be able to practice Taoism in this life.

There was no sound afterwards.

But these people do exist, and Huang Zhiji knows about them.

He now feels that his master asked him to go down the mountain to gain experience and not to return for three years. Is it because he is sure that he has nowhere to go and will definitely come to Nanwu County?
Did you come to Nanwu County with some other ideas?

Huang Zhiji scratched his head, feeling a little worried. Why are the older generation always like this?

Is there anything that cannot be said openly? I always have to be a riddler and let you figure it out yourself.

He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. As a disciple of Maoshan, of course he was on the same side as his master... Well, even if he had his own ideas, he had to first figure out what his master was thinking.

He took out his cell phone, booked a flight ticket and prepared to return to the mountain.

……

In the basement of the Fiery Sun Tribe's headquarters, the chief stood in front of the Fiery Sun Monument, feeling the increasingly strong yang energy blowing towards him. His clothes seemed to be rustling in the wind.

He looked at the Fiery Sun Monument and pondered for a long time.

"I'll let Wen Yan come here in a few days."

Beside him, the old Taoist priest also looked at the Fiery Sun Monument and sighed.

"Every time I have to sigh, the Thirteenth Patriarch of Buyeo was truly a peerless genius. If he hadn't been assassinated, everything would have been very different."

"Old Heavenly Master, what do you think?"

"I still hold the same view as before. I am different from you.
As the chief of the Lieyang Department, you naturally hope to see the Lieyang engraved into the Heavenly Palace.

I will not interfere with him. I will support him in whatever he wants to do.

The two generations of Heavenly Masters in the Heavenly Master Mansion back then were both troubled by what happened at that time and were too ashamed to ascend to heaven after their deaths.

I think that you guys worry about this and that every day.

No one asked him if he had any ideas in this regard.

Couldn't he have any other ideas besides engraving or not engraving?

Don’t you think that it’s enough to do it in the name of justice?”

The old Taoist priest's words were not very polite. The director smiled bitterly and bowed.

"Old Heavenly Master, your words are too serious. I never meant that.

This kind of thing cannot be forced, it naturally depends on his own wishes.

I just felt that he was restricted in his work on the case, and the Lieyang Tribe was unable to help him solve it.

I want him to come here and try to see if it is possible to resolve the restrictions.

He is still young and talented, and it is cruel that he is limited in this way and can never break through.

It’s fine that he’s in high spirits now, but I’m afraid that in another year, when he really feels the restrictions…”

As the director was speaking, he turned around and saw that the old Taoist priest had disappeared.

There was only a magic sword standing on the ground.

The director general was helpless. The old master was powerful and at a high level. Naturally, his vision was broader than that of anyone else in the world, and his tolerance was also greater.

But there are more than just the Tianshi Mansion in the Three Mountains and Five Peaks. Even in the Tianshi Mansion, I’m afraid there are people who are not very happy about it.

The butt determines the head, but it has nothing to do with whether the brain is normal or not.

In the current situation, the Lieyang Department is indeed somewhat overwhelmed. Since the arrival of the Apiya version, the recovery of spiritual energy has accelerated, and the efficiency of case handling in the Lieyang Department and the proportion of successfully closed cases have declined significantly in the past year.

It’s not that I don’t work hard, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult for ordinary field staff to deal with all kinds of messy cases.

And most of the time, what is needed to solve a case is not airplanes, cannons, or spearmen.

The case that requires the mobilization of airplanes and artillery may seem like a big deal, but in fact, it is the simplest one for the Lieyang Tribe.

Looking at the magic sword on the ground, the commander sighed. What the old master said was impolite, but to some extent, it was true. The head is determined by the butt.

Back in the office, he looked at the people and aliens captured in the past two days, the intelligence obtained, and some confessions.

In addition, after piecing together all the previous intelligence, it has been basically confirmed that Boss Tao was also a part of the Dayi Fa.

Among the possible targets of this grand ritual, there is Wen Yan.

Now he was indeed a little worried.

On the other side, Wen Yan, who was being worried about, was having hotpot at home.

"I originally wanted to celebrate the butler, but there were too many things to do, so I'll make up for it today to celebrate the butler's transformation."

"Sir, it has already been celebrated."

"It doesn't matter, let's celebrate once more. It's still the New Year before the 15th day anyway, so let's just continue celebrating the New Year."

When we have nothing to do, we eat and drink, and everyone enjoys it. The housekeeper actually likes it too.

After eating and drinking and packing up, Wen Yan continued to practice in the backyard.

After opening the seventh stone door, he obtained a talisman. There was no indication of its effect, so it all depended on Wen Yan to figure it out on his own. Currently, it was only beneficial for cultivation. As for the rest, Wen Yan was prepared to let nature take its course, and he would slowly find out.

The eighth stone gate undoubtedly belongs to the butler.

The butler is also ready to assist Wen Yan at any time.

Wen Yan is now practicing step by step, striving to complete the early development as soon as possible.

He had also learned in the past few days that the talisman he obtained seemed to be more abnormal than he expected.
