Day and night tour

Chapter 367 Chewing bones at night
The tortoise shell traveled in the empty and bright world, and the trajectory it created drew three runes in succession.

The rune floated towards Zhou Xuan and collided with him.

The scenes of Turtle Qiansui resting in the water and using the methods of the sixth, seventh, and eighth incense sticks appeared in Zhou Xuan's body, awakening like bamboo shoots after rain.

"The sixth incense stick is "All things come to life." "

Zhou Xuan imitated the Turtle Qiansui in the picture. He first restrained his perception and the smell of incense, and then focused his perception on his ears and eyes.

His vision and hearing were released to a very far distance. At this moment, he realized that the growth of plants also has sounds and changes.

When the grass and trees grow at an imperceptible speed and the grains of the trees are pulled at a very small amplitude, a "rustling" sound similar to that of a sand hammer being shaken is produced.

Except the growth of grass and trees,
Zhou Xuan could also hear the sound of the soul growing, such as the tortoise shell - the soul grew little by little, and would make a "gurgling" sound inside the tortoise shell.

“All things have a destiny only after they are born. If you don’t know how they were born, you don’t know what their destiny is.”

"The seventh incense stick, 'All living beings know their destiny.'"

In the scene of Gui Qiansui, he continued to demonstrate the method of the seventh incense stick to Zhou Xuan.

Similarly, Zhou Xuan entered the tortoise-like breathing state, and his perception penetrated into his "ears and eyes". This time, he could not only hear and see things like souls, but he could even see the "concrete" manifestations of power and incense.

He looked at the nine ancestral trees in the empty and bright world and could see that their trunks were surrounded by a substantial luster.

The luster is very pure, like pieces of colored glass, without any impurities.

He looked at himself again and could see that his whole body was also covered with a layer of blue luster, but his luster was exactly the same color as the Zhou family willow tree in the mirror world. After all, he was also a descendant of the Nuo god.

However, the purity of the luster is quite different.

The luster that enveloped Zhou Xuan, apart from the main body which was dark blue, was very mottled, like a wooden door that had not been repaired for many years, with dilapidated wood grain and peeling paint.

Luster is an attribute of power, and the purity of color represents the other party's level of spiritual attainment.

"The cultivation level of Jingguo cannot be seen. With this set of skills, those who are just filling in the numbers and those who are bluffing are just like decorations in my eyes! This trick is specially used to deal with Lao Liu."

Zhou Xuan said this indignantly, having completely forgotten that he was once the most cunning Old Six in Mingjiang Prefecture.

"The eighth incense stick, 'River of Destiny'."

It was still Turtle Thousand Years Old who used the same method in the picture. Zhou Xuan followed suit and after "Turtle Rest for a Thousand Years", he concentrated his body's perception on his mouth and nose.

After doing this,
Zhou Xuan let out a low howl, but due to the existence of perception in his mouth, the howl was actually an inaudible sound fluctuation, at least with Zhou Xuan's hearing ability, he could not hear it clearly.

And that sound wave, after vibrating in the air and forming ripples, spread out in circles, hitting the tortoise shell and stirring up a long river.

“This is the long river of destiny.”

When Zhou Xuan saw the river that could only be seen by the disciples of the Dunjia "mathematician", he remembered that when Gui Qiansui was deducing for him, he was touring in the long river of his destiny.

"With the power of perception and the accompanying roar, it vibrates out the long river of a certain person's destiny."

The three consecutive methods are all extended on the basis of turtle breathing.

"The great master of Dunjia relies on being silent and entering the long river of fate of others."

“Those who enter the long river can know their past and look forward to their future life.”

Zhou Xuan let out a long sigh and came out of his hibernation state. In the clear world, there was a divine bow across the sky and a white fox resting under a tree.

"It's time to order the deification."

Zhou Xuan has already comprehended the eight incense sticks method of Dunjia in the Kongming Mirror, which has confirmed one thing. The remaining important thing is to deify King Xishan and Lord Jian, and make them both become gods in the world.

"Zhou family ancestral tree, send the godhead over here."

After Zhou Xuan shouted, a crack appeared in the empty world. The ancestral tree used the "tree gate" through the link bound to Zhou Xuan to send the golden branch over.

This golden branch originally belonged to the White Walker Hand of the Thief's Hall.

And now, this divine power has officially changed hands.

"Humen Hall, King Xishan, in the name of the Supreme Will, I decree you to be the God of the Sky. From now on, you must protect Mingjiang Mansion and you must not disobey."

Zhou Xuan's index finger pointed at the golden branch floating above the crack in the ground.

The fingertips are the command,

The golden branch responded to Zhou Xuan's command and went deep into the chest of the white fox that was already kneeling beside the tree.

"King Humen Xishan, thank you for the title bestowed upon me by my Lord. I will protect Mingjiang with all my heart in the future. If I violate the rules, I will be annihilated by the Five Thunders."

King Xishan immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Xuan in the empty and bright world, as if they were a king and his subject.

……

On that day, countless foxes from the nine prefectures of Jing State climbed up the highest mountain in their respective prefectures and looked at the moonlight together.

In the bright moonlight, there is a fox shadow holding a branch in its hand.

"We, the fox tribe, now have our own sky god."

"There is a fox in the East Mountain, the king of the mountain."

"The God of Joy lives forever."

The foxes howled in the moonlight, and their future way of survival opened a new chapter.

……

"Pingshui Divine Arrow, I deify you in the name of the Supreme Will of the Kongming World. From now on, you will be the new Gongzheng."

"The arrow of God is impartial, it flies like a shooting star, but the way of God lasts forever."

Zhou Xuan waved his right hand again, and a raindrop poured down, flowing through the cracks in the earth and into Pingshui Prefecture.

……

It was raining heavily in the Parade of Gods in Pingshui Prefecture. The Parade of Gods was a teahouse run by Mr. Jiu. At this moment, there were no other guests and the people who came were all the day and night parades of the Parade of Gods in the Parade of Gods.

When Lord Jiu saw Yu, he raised his glass and toasted Lord Jian, who was sitting upright, "Old Jian, congratulations on becoming a god on earth. From today on, Pingshui Prefecture will also have its own god-level."

At the Sky God level, he has the responsibility to supervise the heaven and earth, but from a certain perspective, he is also the power of the Jing Kingdom itself.

The god-level, combined with the "Book of Will", has the power to change the world.

"God is not a power, but a responsibility."

Lord Jian stood up suddenly and shot an arrow in the direction of the rain. "Thank you, Lord, for the appointment. In the long years to come, if I am like the last generation of Gong Zheng, saying one thing in front of you and another behind your back, violating your faith and mission, I will shoot like this feathered arrow, and the arrow will break and the person will die."

Having said this, he clenched his right hand tightly, and the divine arrow that had already shot into the empty and bright world suddenly broke into two pieces.

……

On this day, Mingjiang Prefecture and Pingshui Prefecture each added a new god-level deity.

Lord Arrow inherited the divinity of the previous generation's "Divine Arrow" and became the new generation's "Gong Zheng".

King Xishan replaced the divinity of "Ghost Hand" and became the first demon god-level "Sky Fox" in Jing Kingdom in more than 2,000 years.

……

"Phew, I'm so tired."

The Kongming Mirror closed, and Zhou Xuan woke up slowly.

It was late at night, but there was no one else on the big bunk bed on the second floor except Zhou Xuan.

"It's so late, Lao Yun and Fifth Brother aren't going to sleep?"

Zhou Xuan immediately got up and went downstairs from the bamboo house.

On the first floor of the bamboo building, Yun Ziliang, Lu Mingkun, Xiao Fuzi, and Zhao Wuya were all chatting.

In addition to these family members, there was also a stranger, the "Mountain Ancestor" Li Changxun.

Li Changxun was chatting with Yun Ziliang about the past of Xunlong Daomen.

Lu Mingkun, Zhao Wuya and Xiao Fuzi were chatting about family matters.

"Hey, Xiao Fuzi, it's been a long time since you asked Xuan Ge'er for your wages?" Zhao Wuya asked.

"The young master is busy and may not have thought of me."

Xiao Fuzi chuckled and made tea.

"I can't be busy. Your salary cannot be delayed. I will help you get it tomorrow. You don't know that Xuan Ge'er appears to be generous on the surface, but in fact, he is very stingy. If you don't ask him for it, he won't give it to you."

Zhao Wuya directly "slandered" Zhou Xuan.

"Fuck, Yazi, you're cricketing behind my back, right?"

Zhou Xuan said immediately.

But Zhao Wuya didn't respond, as if he didn't hear Zhou Xuan's words, and continued to criticize Zhou Xuan: "You don't know, Brother Xuan made so much money, but he never asked me to go to a brothel. I obviously didn't have any girls around me, but he still found one to serve me... Hey... Now I can't find one even if I want to. The brothels were all burned down."

Zhou Xuan had already walked to the center of the room, but Zhao Wuya was still chirping.

"You're not done yet. It's fine if you tease me when I'm not around, but I'm a living person standing here, and you still dare to tease me?"

Zhou Xuan slapped Zhao Wuya on the shoulder.

"Who is it?"

Zhao Wuya turned around and saw that it was Zhou Xuan. He immediately said "Huh" and asked, "Brother Xuan, when did you come here?"

"I came early,"

"Why didn't I see you?"

"I will just walk down from the bamboo building in a swagger."

"Bullshit."

Zhao Wuya said, "How could I not see you when you walked down so boldly? If I had seen you, would I still say bad things about you?"

What? The cricket man behind the scenes is still so confident.

Zhou Xuan was about to give Yazi a slap on the head, but suddenly, Li Changxun, who had been talking about the past, stood up, clasped his fists towards Zhou Xuan and said, "Master, congratulations, you have mastered the art of escaping the turtle's breath for a thousand years, and you can walk silently and leave no trace. From the time you came downstairs to the time you spoke, even I didn't react."

"Oh right, turtle rest for a thousand years."

Zhou Xuan then figured it out. No wonder Zhao Wuya was so bold today and spoke ill of him to his face - he came out of the Kongming Mirror and somehow used the "Thousand Years of Turtle Breath" technique.

"What kind of trick is this? He walks right in front of us and we can't even notice him?" Zhao Wuya asked Li Changxun.

Li Changxun twisted his goatee and said, "The Turtle Breathing Technique can conceal your senses, the scent of incense, and even the sounds of your movements and breathing."

"I can understand that there were no footsteps, but how could I not see such a large figure swaying in front of me?"

Zhao Wuya was very confused. In order to prove that he was not blind, he asked Lu Mingkun: "Fifth Senior Brother, didn't you see Xuan Ge'er just now?" "Indeed, I didn't see him, and I was looking at the stairs."

When Lu Mingkun said this, a cold light flashed in his hand, nailing a cockroach on the stairs to death.

He walked over, pulled out the bamboo knife, grabbed the cockroach by its whiskers and threw it out of the house, then called Xiao Fuzi to scoop up a bucket of water and help him wash his hands.

To be honest, Fifth Brother used to be the secret door of Zhou Clan, and he was also a knifeman, so his hearing and eyesight were naturally impeccable. But he didn't even see Zhou Xuan going downstairs, which didn't make sense according to common sense.

After observing Zhou Xuan carefully for a while, Yun Ziliang said, "This Turtle Breathing method of Dunjia is not just about hiding. Once the Turtle Breathing is on, the body will be integrated into the world, like dust in the air, darkness in the night, without a shadow or form. If Xuanzi hadn't taken the initiative to contact Yazi, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to break the secret."

"Is it so mysterious?"

Zhou Xuan felt a little pleasantly surprised. When he was in the Kongming world, Zhou Xuan felt that this method was the most sophisticated means of assassination among the Dunjia masters.

Now look - this method is not just used for assassination.

Even the "Mountain Ancestor" of Nine Incense Sticks could not see through the "Invisibility Method", and Zhou Xuan had the highest speed in the human world, so he could go anywhere...

"If anyone dares to talk behind my back again, I will stand behind him and poke him in the kidney." Zhou Xuan said jokingly.

After hearing this, Zhao Wuya felt a pain in his kidneys and hurriedly covered his kidneys, fearing that he would be cut in the kidneys by some invisible person.

Zhou Xuan was overjoyed, but he still had some questions, so he asked Yun Ziliang, "This skill is called 'Turtle Breath for a Thousand Years', and it is the fifth incense stick skill of the Dunjia Mathematician.

This method alone is enough to hide one's body in front of the Mountain Ancestor of Jiuzhuxiang. Isn't it too powerful?"

It's too exaggerated to use the method of five incense sticks to light nine incense sticks.

"One method, used by two people, will produce two different results."

Li Changxun said: "The reason you can fool me is not only because of your mysterious method, but also because of your perception."

"What's the saying in this?"

Zhou Xuan asked.

"That's a big statement."

Li Changxun looked like he was begging for food with a golden bowl in his hand and said, "Perception is the most valuable currency in the Jing Kingdom's incense and fire."

"The method of Turtle Breathing is to gather your breath and hide in the cracks in the space between heaven and earth. The stronger your perception is, the more likely you are to find enough cracks to hide. If your perception is not strong enough, you can still find cracks, but you can only hide a little bit, so it's better not to hide..."

"It is precisely because you, sir, have a perception that exceeds that of many gods that you can hide your body so perfectly."

Yun Ziliang also said: "Only with a strong sense of perception can those magical moves of the hall be used perfectly."

With this explanation, Zhou Xuan felt in a good mood. He thanked Yun Ziliang and Li Changxun and went out to solve the mystery of "missing people" in Huifeng Medical College.

"Go ahead, it's a good time for us to take a break."

Zhao Wuya stretched lazily.

They were all chatting on the first floor and did not go to rest, not because they were not sleepy, but because they were afraid of disturbing Zhou Xuan who was "realizing the magical power of escape armor in the empty and bright world."

……

After Zhou Xuan came out of the bamboo building, he sat down by the pavilion first. He entered the secret realm to check out the Mother of a Hundred Ghosts.

The Taoist priest of incense once warned Zhou Xuan not to touch the incense rashly, otherwise the mother of all ghosts would wake up.

Two days ago, the Mother of All Ghosts showed signs of revival.

Fortunately, Qingfeng returned to his place, and the City God Taoist Temple gathered Qingfeng, the Taoist temple, and the stone tablet together to become the City God Temple, which suppressed the Mother of All Ghosts.

When he was in the depths of the abyss, Zhou Xuan had used a lot of incense and various tricks, but the Mother of a Hundred Ghosts did not move. Now he came to check again to make sure that the Mother of a Hundred Ghosts was still sleeping soundly.

He walked into the secret realm of black water. The Red Ginseng Boy, the Blood Well Human Brain, the Buddha Kingdom Mastermind, and Miss Wall were all playing games and having a great time.

When she saw Zhou Xuan, Miss Qiang shouted, "Ah Xuan, the engineer is still being held in Dongshi Street. Now it has been confirmed that she has not committed any serious crime. Can you release her?"

More than two thousand years ago, the Engineer came to Jing Country. She accidentally taught the "Caixi" hall the methods of "consciousness aggregation and mind control", making the Caixi hall, which was originally a lowly hall, become a powerful hall hunted by gods and Taoists.

It is also because of this that the engineer was regarded by the Supreme Will and the gods of the sky as the initiator of "Wind Horse, Swallow and Sparrow" and was suppressed in the Feng Shui formation of Dongshi Street.

"It's time to let her out. Maybe tomorrow."

Zhou Xuan said.

He felt that the engineer had been imprisoned for two thousand years and it was time to release him. Moreover, his fifth incense stick was from the Caixi Hall, which was now completely extinct. Zhou Xuan also pointed at the engineer and led him into the Tao to complete the fifth incense stick.

"Please help her get her out tomorrow. I miss her so much." Miss Wall said.

Zhou Xuan nodded, agreed, and went to the center of the black water.

The City God Temple is still suppressing the Mother of All Ghosts.

But now the Mother of a Hundred Ghosts is still struggling. Among the hundreds of ghosts on her body, several evil ghosts have opened their eyes, and there are also several faint marks of cracks on the wall of the City God Temple.

Whenever the cracks were about to expand, the black water representing the will of the Nuo god would roll up several water arrows and blind the eyes of those evil spirits.

At the same time, the Blood Well and Crimson Moon also began to roll and spun, dropping countless blood threads, which repaired the damaged parts of the City God Temple.

The divine power was restored, the suppression became strong again, and the Mother of a Hundred Demons regained her baby-like sleep.

The blood well and the black water, with dual wills, were supplying the City God Temple without limit. Zhou Xuan gently patted the head of the Mother of a Hundred Ghosts: "Mother of a Hundred Ghosts, now that you have come to my secret realm, stay here well and don't have any more sweet dreams of awakening."

……

After ensuring that the Mother of a Hundred Ghosts was sleeping peacefully, Zhou Xuan's spirit traveled to the bell tower.

"I have to see if that old fellow Pan Shanying is slacking off."

His spirit and soul had just arrived at the bell tower. After his true body descended through changing his form, he activated the "Turtle Breathing Technique" to restrain all breath.

He swaggered towards Panshan Eagle.

At this time, Panshan Eagle was watching Huifeng Medical College with great concentration, and was using the divine eagle in the sky like a group of Hot Wheels, patrolling desperately.

Late at night is the best time for a criminal to kill someone. The later it is, the more alert he must be.

His mind was completely focused on the medical school, so naturally he didn't notice the person behind him... But even if he noticed, he would be like Lu Mingkun and Li Changxun, not realizing Zhou Xuan who had merged into the world.

"Old Pan."

Zhou Xuan had already sneaked up behind Panshanying and patted his shoulder hard.

Panshan Eagle immediately jumped three feet high, startled. When he reached the highest point, he finally spoke: "Gan, who is it?"

"Me." Zhou Xuan responded.

"Oh, sir." Pan Shanying was still in shock. He patted his chest and said, "If you scare people, you will scare them to death... I almost fell off the bell tower."

Zhou Xuan asked, "How's the medical school going?"

"There are yellow foxes everywhere, one nest after another. My condor is circling like crazy. No villain dares to attack me."

Pan Shanying patted his chest and said, "Ever since you contacted Huangmen to act as my helper, my feeling has disappeared, and I have never felt that there are any missing victims again."

He emphasized the word "helper" very clearly in his words, just to claim the first credit and emphasize to Zhou Xuan that the yellow-skinned man was just helping, and he was the main force.

Zhou Xuan saw through it but didn't say anything. He just talked about the progress of the matter and said, "This is a good thing."

"But something else strange happened."

Panshanying said again.

"What's weird?"

"I feel like the people at Huifeng Medical College seem to be too affectionate."

"Tell me, how do you make out?"

Zhou Xuan asked.

"I have been patrolling Mingjiang Prefecture for two or three days. These disaster victims are basically familiar with each other and hang out together, whether eating or sleeping, in groups. These small groups were originally neighbors, or even relatives before the disaster, but today is different. Some small groups are looking for other small groups to play with. This kind of counterintuitive communication is much more common."

“That’s a real problem.”

After Zhou Xuan sighed, he turned around and said to Pan Shanying: "Old Pan, I find that you are a talent. Why are you so observant?"

"In the past, when we kidnapped hostages and brought them back to the village, we would torture them. We would tie them up, torture them severely, and force them to write letters to their families asking for ransom... When they were tortured, as long as their eyes were wrong, I would know that they were already tortured, and I would just catch them and write letters."

"This criminal gang has given you a lot of power?"

"That's all in the past."

Panshanying smiled and quickly stopped talking about the origin of his ability.

"Then tell me which areas have that kind of extra communication."

Zhou Xuan asked.

"Over there... and over there..."

The Panshan Eagle pointed to the basketball court and swimming pool in Huifeng Medical College...

"I see. Keep watching."

After Zhou Xuan understood the approximate location, he left during the day.

……

The swimming pool of Huifeng Medical College is an open-air one. From Zhou Xuan's perspective, the facilities are simple, but in Jing Country, it is already a high-end venue.

Now is a disaster period, the water in the swimming pool has been drained, and dozens of tents have been set up in the wide pool.

Zhou Xuan used the "Turtle Breathing Method" to conceal his breath, and was going to use the rest of his escape techniques by the swimming pool to deduce it carefully.

But the tortoise breathing technique, in addition to concealing his breath, also enhanced his hearing and vision. Before he could use the low whistle to vibrate the long river of fate of the people nearby, he heard the sounds of chewing bones and tearing flesh.

Chewing bones is not really chewing bones, but grinding bones. The sound is similar to putting a hard biscuit in your mouth to soften it, and then slowly grinding it.

The sound of tearing flesh was the flesh being gently torn off from the periosteum.

It was already late at night, and Zhou Xuan felt that something was very wrong with the noise. It would be fine if there were one or two greedy people eating snacks at night,
But there were at least dozens of sounds of people chewing bones and tearing meat - how could there be so many people who love to steal food?
Zhou Xuan followed the sound and walked forward.

He was in a hibernating state and was not afraid of being seen at all. When he walked to a gray-green tent, he seemed to step on something soft, so he lowered his head to look.

Under the sole of his shoe was half a human hand, which stretched out from the gap in the tent.

Zhou Xuan gently clenched his palm, which was a little cold. He pulled the hand hard and actually pulled it out of the tent.

——It was a severed palm, with tiger teeth intertwined at the broken end. It was obviously not cut off by a sharp weapon, but torn off alive.

Besides, the blood on the broken palm has not yet dried, it was just broken not long ago...
