Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 358: Talisman training, the situation is reversed! (Two in one)

"Chi!" On the stone table next to it, the little yellow chicken turned over and was about to pounce on the ginseng spirit and peck it when the ginseng spirit poked its head out. The ginseng spirit was so scared that it quickly shrank back.

"Go away, little yellow chicken, stop making trouble." Song Changming grabbed the fluttering little yellow chicken and put it back on the stone table.

The ginseng spirit is very afraid of the little yellow chicken because the little yellow chicken always wants to peck off some meat from it.

If Song Changming had not discovered it in time, the ginseng spirit would have lost half of its torso when it first saw the little yellow chicken.

From then on, the ginseng spirit had been hiding from the little yellow chicken, as if it had met its natural enemy, and most of the time it didn't dare to show its head.

The wooden box, where it had always been reluctant to stay, is now its most secure harbor.

"Chirp." The little yellow chicken protested.

"What's so delicious about this lump of wood? It's not as fresh as these fruits." Song Changming took out a bunch of rare fruits from the Qiankun Ring and gave them to the little yellow chicken.

As a result, the little yellow chicken just glanced at it and showed no interest.

Finally, he realized that Song Changming would never let it eat Xiao Jin, so he reluctantly picked a small red fruit that looked very attractive and started pecking at it.

After calming the little yellow chicken, Song Changming knocked on the wooden box with his fingers as usual.

"Begin practicing."

The top-grade spirit crystal was suspended in front of him. At the same time, Xiao Jin in the wooden box also responded to Song Changming's request and began to assist him, acting as a practice accelerator.

The practice lasted until late at night.

A portion of the pure spiritual energy within that top-grade spirit crystal was also extracted, about one third.

Song Changming finished his practice and calmed the surging energy in the four martial meridians in his body.

The spiritual crystal lost its refining process and fell into his hands.

"What a luxury." Song Changming couldn't help but smack his lips again.

But even though he lamented, since he could use top-grade spirit crystals to practice, he would never exchange them back for mid-grade spirit crystals.

After finishing the Qi training, Song Changming recovered the mental energy consumed by the practice while taking out a somewhat heavy book from the Qiankun Ring.

There are several ancient characters printed on the cover of the book.

Record of the Talisman Array.

As the name suggests, this is a secret book for analyzing talisman arrays.

Long before he returned to the main city, he had noticed this secret book among Zhao Liang's belongings.

He used his military merits to find out the true meaning of talismans from the military arsenal, mastered the art of talismans, and was able to make some basic, low-level talisman paper.

But he still didn't have a deep understanding of the talisman array.

The ancient book titled The True Meaning of Talismans does not touch upon the contents of talisman formations.

In fact, the talisman array is somewhat like an advanced version of the basic talisman art, which is more difficult to comprehend and more mysterious.

There are very few books on knowledge related to talisman arrays circulating in the outside world.

Even in the military armory, Song Changming had checked and found that there were only a few books related to talisman formations.

Moreover, the content above only briefly introduces the effects and origins of some talisman arrays, and does not really involve the content of talisman array missionary work.

It can be seen that if one wants to learn the talisman formation, not to mention how difficult it is, even the initial approach is probably hard to find.

And this book of illustrated talismans was Zhao Liang's treasured collection, so it was naturally extraordinary.

Although it is unknown where Zhao Liang got it from, it not only contains a detailed analysis of the talisman array, but also goes from the simplest to the most complex, and it records far more than just one talisman array.

It’s no exaggeration to say that it’s a treasure book of talismans!

Song Changming just took it out and glanced through it on the way, and he felt like he had found a treasure.

Whenever he has free time these days, he will immerse himself in it and study it carefully.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Core urban area, royal palace.

The huge palace has high walls, and in front of the red gate are two mighty and huge stone statues of elephants. For those who get close, it is full of a sense of power and oppression.

The palace is composed of one park after another.

The forest garden in the center is also the largest.

The numerous jade-like stone mountains make this place magnificent and unique.

On the avenue in the forest park, Wang Tianshuang, wearing gilded armor, combat boots, with his long hair tied up, walked forward with big strides without looking around.

"Greetings, Master Tianshuang!"

"Greetings, Master Tianshuang!"

"."

Along the way, the surrounding servants, maids, family guards and clansmen all saluted Wang Tianshuang with expressions of utmost respect.

Undoubtedly, Wang Tianshuang's status in this palace is quite high.

This has to do with his innate perfect strength, his military marshal status, and even more so his seniority and direct bloodline in the clan!
Wang Tianshuang ignored him and went straight into the largest hall in the forest garden without stopping for a moment.

There were already more than ten people sitting in the hall.

Each of them is an important figure in the Wang family, holding the power of speech and carrying great weight.

Wang Tianshuang stepped in and immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Tianshuang, tell me why it is like this." The head of the family, Wang Hao, was standing in the center of the hall. He turned to look at Wang Tianshuang and asked in a flat tone.

Wang Tianshuang looked around and the others looked at him with a hint of questioning in their eyes.

"Is it too high a price to pay to offend the Zhao family for the sake of two generals and that small flag owner with no status or background?" Wang Hao went straight to the point without any hesitation.

"Master, is it that the Zhao family's people are here to question us?" Wang Tianshuang asked in a calm voice, without any intention of backing down.

"Yes." Wang Hao had no intention of hiding it.

“Tian Shuang, tell me, you are not a reckless person. You must have your own ideas for doing this.” Suddenly, a white-haired old woman sitting at the head of the group spoke up.

Wang Tianshuang nodded and said, "I rescued my general at the city gate, not only for myself, but also for my family."

Some of the important figures of the Wang family who were present could no longer hold back and wanted to slam their chairs and stand up to question.

At this moment, another old voice was heard, suppressing everyone's impulse.

"Go on."

It was an equally old man, and the white-haired old woman, sitting on either side of the head seat.

Even the current head of the Wang family did not dare to interrupt in front of these two old men.

"At this point, the family should have investigated the matter. Do you know the cause of death of Zhao Zun and Zhao Liang?" Wang Tianshuang asked.

"According to the Zhao family, it was your generals who colluded with evil spirits and set a trap to kill people." The head of the family, Wang Hao, stretched out his hands behind his back, pointed at Wang Tianshuang and said, his tone became heavier.

"They still suspect that it was you, our Wang family, who was behind this. Tianshuang, tell me the truth, is this true?"

After hearing this, Wang Tianshuang was not too surprised.

Zhao wanted to exonerate the Zhao family and Zhao Liang and his son, but he could not admit the crime of colluding with the demon clan.

They simply put the blame on Song Changming and others.

This was just a common trick used by the aristocratic families to confuse right and wrong. Wang Tianshuang was no longer surprised by this as he was in an aristocratic family.

He himself knew very well that it was pure nonsense.

"The truth is that it was the two from the Zhao family who colluded with the demon clan, and the people who plotted the murder were our generals who were out on a mission. I did not instruct them." Wang Tianshuang said this, paused, and then continued. "There is only one thing they said correctly, that is, the two from the Zhao family did die at the hands of our generals."

Wang Hao frowned when he heard this, "Are you saying that your general killed Zhao Liang and Zhao Zun without the help of the demon clan's power?"

"Yes." Wang Tianshuang nodded.

"This is impossible!" A member of the Wang family suddenly stood up.

"That's fine with Zhao Zun, but who is Zhao Liang? Not to mention that he is a general under your command, even if you are Tianshuang, you may not be able to kill the Zhao clan elder!"

The rest of the Wang family members didn't quite believe what Wang Tianshuang said.

It’s not Wang Tianshuang’s fault, it’s just that this matter sounded too outrageous and it was hard for them to believe it.

On the contrary, the version told by Zhao is more reasonable.

It is more likely that Zhao Liang’s death was caused by a conspiracy between the demon clan and Yang Zhen and others, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the huge gap in strength between them.

Faced with doubts, Wang Tianshuang remained calm, as if he was not surprised by the reaction of his people.

"I have personally verified this matter. It is not just empty talk. This person's Qi training is not high, but he has a strong physique. He can fight with me!"

Wang Tianshuang had previously tested Song Changming's strength just like Meng Yuan had done, so he was extremely confident that Song Changming had the ability to fight against a strong man in the innate perfection realm.

The head of the family, Wang Hao, stared at Wang Tianshuang for a moment, and finally determined that what Wang Tianshuang said was not a joke.

"This is one of the reasons why I want to rescue him. He has no family background, his identity is simple and clean, and he has the strength to fight against a martial artist at the innate perfection realm just by opening up four martial veins. What do you think of his future potential?"

Wang Tianshuang doesn't need to explain too much.

Those present were all shrewd people who had lived for dozens or even hundreds of years, and just a few words were enough to make them think deeply.

“If that’s true, this person has a promising future and is indeed worth winning over.” The clan elder, who seemed to be in the highest position, tapped the cane in his hand and spoke.

Upon hearing this, the rest of the Wang family members stopped arguing.

Indeed, the potential shown by Song Changming is too amazing.

No matter how badly he does in the future, he will always be a strong man with the strength of the innate perfection realm.

The lower limit is extremely high, and the upper limit is even more immeasurable!

They are not stupid and they know how valuable such people are.

And now is a great opportunity to win over someone and provide timely assistance.

Thinking about it this way, Wang Tianshuang’s actions seem to make sense.

"Besides, my ambitions go beyond this." Wang Tian's eyes were deep. He looked past everyone present, including the patriarch Wang Hao, and finally fixed his gaze on the two clan elders with the highest status.

He looked the other person in the face, with a bit of sternness.

"I want to take this opportunity to see if Zhao's person is okay."

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room became even more solemn.

Although Wang Tianshuang had not finished speaking, they seemed to understand what he was really thinking and were moved by it.

"Tian Shuang, this is not just a small fight." Wang Hao subconsciously picked up a string of beads in his hand and took a deep breath.

"I know." Wang Tianshuang nodded, his eyes sparkling.

The next day, Song Changming ended his vacation.

The military department found him and he, along with Yang Zhen and Xing Tiexin, was interrogated about the incident.

It was not Zhao who led the arrest, but Wang Tianshuang who took the initiative to report the matter.

As the person involved, Song Changming naturally had to accept questioning.

In this way, the guilt of Zhao Zun and Zhao Liang was completely exposed. This was not a trivial matter and might even have to be reported to King Cui through the military.

This is naturally quite unfavorable to the Zhao family.

In fact, in places that Song Changming could not see, Wang Tianshuang and the Zhao family had already had many games of chess.

However, in the military department, Wang Tianshuang still had the upper hand and the initiative. This time, a neutral official from the military department was responsible for the questioning, not Zhao's people.

This is the result of the game.

The military official who questioned the people did not make things difficult for Song Changming and the others as expected.

After questioning them, they released the three men.

The next step was to collect evidence. Many generals and officers in the army who were related to Zhao Zun and Zhao Liang, and even members of the Zhao family, were brought in for interrogation.

With the instigation of secret forces, the situation fermented and gradually became known to many powerful families.

The Zhao family was suddenly at the center of public attention.

Core urban area, Zhao family.

"Damn it!" Zhao Boqi, the head of the Zhao family, angrily slammed the valuable table in front of him.

He was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Zhao's current situation.

"It's impossible for a mere Wang Tianshuang to have such great power to make so many people defect in such a short time!"

"He must have the support of Wang's family behind him!"

"Damn Wang Clan! They actually dared to become our enemy just for a few outsiders!"

"."

Many senior executives of the Zhao family were also very angry and even found it a little unbelievable.

The current situation is completely beyond their expectations.

I thought everything was under control. The military, government, and other noble families had already arranged everything.

Most of them were happy to give face to the Zhao family, and at most they would promise some benefits.

The entire main city can belong to his Zhao family. Entering the city is like walking into a trap. It will be easy to capture Song Changming and the other two.

But now, the situation is evolving too fast and is completely out of their control.

“Even if the Wang family helped those people, it shouldn’t be done.” A member of the Zhao clan frowned.

What he meant was that even if the Wang family joined in the counter-operation, the majority of people should not be allowed to turn against them.

Could it be that because they are afraid of the Wang family, they are not afraid of the Zhao family?
There's something so weird behind this!
"Hmph! Damn bastard, don't you understand? It's definitely not just the Wang family that's causing trouble!" Clan elder Zhao Lie snorted and cursed.

"The most likely one is the Meng family." The head of the family, Zhao Boqi, rubbed his eyebrows and suddenly felt a headache.

This is not difficult to judge from the intelligence clues collected.

Some officials who were close to the Meng family have no news anymore and have completely cut off ties with the Zhao family. They don't even try to remain neutral and give Wang Tianshuang the green light to do his job.

However, when faced with the demands of the Zhao family members, he tried to obstruct and shirk his responsibilities in every possible way.

Most of the people from the Meng and Wang families were standing behind Song Changming and his companions. This was also the fundamental reason why the Zhao family was in such a predicament during this period.

What they are dealing with are no longer just a few military generals, but the combined forces of two top families!

"What do they want to do?" The clan elder Zhao Xinlei had a bad feeling and murmured softly.

Past experience told him that if the two families joined forces and started such a big war, their ambition must be huge.

It is impossible that it was simply to protect Song Changming and the other two.

There must be other purposes.
