Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 131: Kill the demons and get rewards

County government.

Inner government.

This is where the county magistrate lives, a magnificent house with bright lights.

Ordinary people didn’t even dare to light a lamp, but here, there were at least eight hundred candles.

County magistrate Zhuang Renhe was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Qi Cheng was fiddling with a bunch of bottles and jars.

suddenly!

"puff!"

Qi Cheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the scarlet blood fell to the ground, shockingly enough.

"what happened?"

Zhuang Renhe opened his eyes, his eyes sharp.

Qi Cheng's face looked extremely ugly.

"The demon I raised was killed."

Just now, the connection between him and Zhang Hao was suddenly cut off. Zhang Hao was a ghost demon he raised. When the ghost demon died, he also suffered backlash.

Zhuang Renhe frowned slightly:
"Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei are not here, who could it be?"

"Could it be Ning Zhongtian again?"

Qi Cheng shook his head: "I don't know, it should be someone at the defense level who made the move. Even ordinary tendons in the ghost demon's body would find it difficult to break through the defense, but that person only used one strike."

Zhuang Renhe's face turned ugly.

"Can they track us down?"

Although the Zhuang family is a big family, once Jiang Linxian or Cao Wei find out that they are colluding with the Ghost Sect.

The outcome is the same.

"Don't worry, I have already used my secret method to dissolve the ghost into blood. Even the most powerful coroner won't be able to find it."

Zhuang Renhe's expression eased a little: "That's good."

Qi Cheng's face was pale, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Who is it?"

Zhang Hao was a top-notch talent that he had found with great difficulty and put a lot of effort into, but before he could even properly train him, he died early.

The demon keeper died.

This is a huge loss.

He was furious to the extreme.

"An Ningwei, this matter is not over yet!"

Zhang Hao had already told him the news through a secret code, saying that there was a spiritual aura hidden in An Ning Wei, which might be related to the fairy treasure.

Just entered An Ning Wei.

He was killed, it's hard not to be suspicious.

Seeing that Qi Cheng had already made up his mind to kill, Zhuang Renhe said in a low voice, "Old Qi, Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei have already rushed back from Yunzhou and will arrive tomorrow. We need to think about this matter carefully."

If the other party was not of noble status, he would definitely transfer Qi Cheng out of Qinghe.

So as not to cause trouble for him.

Qi Cheng showed displeasure on his face and snorted coldly: "I understand."

another side.

In the secret passage.

Li Rui let out a light exclamation, and saw that the body of the ghost demon Zhang Hao, which he had split into two halves, turned into a pool of blood and seeped into the ground.

Just count the interest.

There was no trace of the ghost or demon on the ground, only a pool of scarlet.

Not even a bone fragment could be seen.

"What a trick!"

Li Rui was shocked, this was obviously the method used by the monster breeder.

Fingers slightly bent.

A stream of true energy was ejected by him, hitting an inconspicuous little bug on the ground.

next moment.

A sound like the howling of a ghost exploded in the cave.

Make sure the bugs are dead.

Li Rui then squatted down, worried that the bug was poisonous, so he rolled the bug back and forth with the tip of the knife and looked at it for a long time.

"Body-controlling bug?"

This little bug is exactly the same as the little bug used by monster breeders to drive monsters as recorded in ancient books.

I have seen pictures in books before.

Today is the first time I saw the real thing.

Li Rui touched his chin:
"The methods used by the demon breeders are somewhat similar to those of the witches and sorcerers mentioned in ancient books. They both use poisonous insects to achieve mysterious effects."

These methods are truly astonishing. They can actually transfer a person's soul to a monster through the poisonous insects, and can also remotely control the monster.

Stand up.

It was pitch black just now, but now with the candlelight, one can see that the cave is surrounded by a thick layer of bamboo tubes, which are stuffed with cotton wool.

As a modern man, he certainly knows that bamboo and cotton are natural sound insulation materials.

So when we were digging this secret passage, we built a soundproof room.

He originally used it for shelter, but he didn't expect that the first use would be to bury corpses.

In this secret passage, let alone fighting, even if you shout at the top of your lungs, no sound can be heard from outside.

Very useful.

Everything that happened today was premeditated.

When he heard the news from Wei Ming, he started preparing.

He had deliberately asked Yang Yong to light the brazier tonight, and used the charcoal in the brazier to control the speed at which it extinguished, so as to create the illusion that he was in the room.

In fact, I had already crawled out of the room through the secret passage.

He had been observing the situation in the hospital from another room.

He had already spotted the ghost demon when he first entered the yard.

But he did not choose to take action immediately, but waited until the other party entered the room before taking action.

Say it again.

It is easy to kill someone but hard to bury the body.

This is An Ning Guard. If a fight breaks out, it will be immediately noticed by the soldiers patrolling around.

It will definitely attract the experts in the army.

By then, his true strength will be exposed, and even the secret of his double form will be discovered.

It would be bad if some people with ulterior motives thought that he was blessed with great fortune and harbored evil intentions towards him.

Of course, all this is based on the premise that he can kill his opponent.

Did he really think that he and Zhang Hao endured the cold for half the night just for fun?
He has been observing Zhang Hao through his spiritual eyes.

He chose to take action only after he was sure that Zhang Hao's strength was no greater than Liu Jin's.

Otherwise, if there was any uncertainty, he would have called Ning Zhongtian without hesitation, even if doing so would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

But now it seems.

Now is the best result. Zhang Hao came here most likely for the magic treasure. If he is captured alive by Ning Zhongtian and finds out the purpose of Zhang Hao's coming, he will definitely be in trouble.

He already knew.

That magical treasure was a tribute to the emperor. Everything Jiang Linxian got from the Mother of Ten Thousand Ghosts had been handed over to the emperor.

It is equivalent to him stealing the emperor's tribute, a sin he cannot bear.

Li Rui came out from the secret passage.

The stone bricks at the entrance were sealed again, and the room returned to complete peace.

Yang Yong and Wang Zhao's room was pitch black, and they didn't notice anything unusual.

Even the two of them were not awakened, so it was even less likely that the patrolling soldiers would find anything. Li Rui took off his coat as if nothing had happened.

Get into bed.

I've been feeling restless these past two days, and now I can finally have a good night's sleep.

Just as he was about to close his eyes——

Lines of small words appeared.

【Age: 10】

[Talent: Martial Bones, Outstanding Comprehension, Spiritual Eyes]

[Kung Fu: Changchun Gong, Dragon Traveling to the Nine Skies]

[Achievement: 10/100]

Two in one!

Li Rui's eyes lit up.

He had a double form on his body. All along, while others practiced one thirty-six cycles a day, he practiced two.

This undoubtedly greatly increases the time invested in practicing.

Sometimes I don’t even have time to exercise.

The reason for this is that there is no one in the world who possesses both the form of a fairy and the form of a dragon, so no one has created a qi-moving diagram that combines these two forms.

Now the system has solved a big problem for him.

"A dragon travels through the sky."

"Good name!"

Li Rui secretly praised.

However, he did not stay up late to practice like those young people did just because he got the new trend chart.

Practicing martial arts is a long-term process.

A one-night assault alone won't have much effect.

Sleeping is a big deal.

The one who can remain calm when mountains collapse in front of him is a real man.

As long as it is not a matter of life or death, nothing can disrupt Li Rui's daily routine.

After a while.

He fell into a deep sleep.

The next day.

Just as the hour of Chen arrived, the sky began to brighten.

Li Rui got up on time, washed up simply, returned to the room, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

A meridian map appeared in my mind.

This picture combines the essence of the Flying Dragon in the Sky Picture and the Nine Profound Spiritual Sky Picture. It is familiar but has many differences.

Li Rui began to circulate Qi along the meridians marked on the meridian map.

The mysterious and clear energy in Dantian rises.

Slowly move around the body.

"The Qi is the dragon, the body is the Nine Heavens, the great dragon roams the seven tendons and eight meridians, strengthening the meridians, activating the tendons, and consolidating the foundation. Only by practicing diligently every day can one see the aura of the Nine Heavens."

Nine is the ultimate number.

"It is so high that it covers the nine heavens, and so vast that it encompasses the eight corners of the earth."

Jiuxiao refers to the extreme of the sky and is the name given to the immortal palace by our ancient ancestors.

The diagram of the dragon traveling in the nine heavens is to have the dragon travel around the body to help the Chaos Orb to create the world and build the fairyland.

"The immortal is hidden in his belly, and when he exhales, he will release thousands of divine brilliances."

Even with Li Rui's personality.

One can't help but be fascinated by the supreme realm depicted in the picture of Dragon Traveling in the Sky.

Circulate Qi in thirty-six small cycles.

Li Rui then slowly opened his eyes.

Look at the sky.

It was not even past the hour of Chen yet, which meant that it didn't even take him an hour to complete a small circulation.

"After the fusion, the air flow time is greatly shortened. This is the first time that it has been so long."

He pushed the door open.

He performed a set of "old man's boxing".

The name "Old Man Fist" was given by Yang Yong.

I studied with him for a while at the beginning, but later I found it boring and stopped practicing.

Right.

For ordinary people, practicing this boxing technique, which is derived from Changchun Gong, the effect is not much different from taking a walk.

It is because this fist technique can only unleash its true power by relying on the mysterious and pure energy.

Without the mysterious and pure energy, practicing will only strengthen your body.

Finish a set of punches.

Only then did Yang Yong and Wang Zhao walk out of the room.

"Old Li, why did you get up so early today?"

Yang Yong looked at Li Rui, who had his fists folded at his waist, and said in surprise.

Before, Li Rui would not get up until after the 7th hour, and after having breakfast he would just make it to the armory for report.

He hadn't seen Li Rui getting up early to practice "Old Man Boxing" for a long time.

Li Rui: "I'm old and can't sleep, so I come out to relax."

Yang Yong laughed and said, "It's better to relax. Otherwise, if you stay in the room all day, I'm really worried that your old bones will fall apart."

He simply believes that people should go out more often when they get older.

Li Rui had breakfast.

Then we came to the armory.

He also made a special trip to see Ge Hong.

Ge Hong, as the flag officer leading the troops, was also one of the people on patrol last night.

When I learned that nothing happened last night.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he continued to flip through books in the armory as if nothing had happened.

It was around noon.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves trampling outside the armory.

Li Rui slowly put down the book.

"Listening to the sound of horse hooves, it seems to be Lord Jiang's Baihong and General Cao's Feishan."
