Hidden moth

Chapter 229: Regret for not finding the demon anywhere

Some people always say that desire is the root of pain, but in fact it is also the source of happiness. Without desire, it means losing the meaning of life.

The desire to restrain desires is actually also a kind of desire, such as the ascetic monks' pursuit of "no worries". It all depends on how people choose.

He Kao had once only wanted to live a good life, free from the anxiety and restlessness. Over the past year, He Kao had changed a lot without even realizing it; after all, he was already a high-level warlock.

Now that you have mastered the secret method, your first pursuit in this life is of course to achieve the highest possible level of accomplishment. Perhaps you can even solve more mysteries of life and the world.

He Kao, gazing at the river view, once again let himself go, literally - his consciousness left his body and floated along the river bank to a five-star hotel not far away in a manner similar to the travel of the Yin spirit.

The newly mastered techniques still needed practice to become proficient. In an open area without any obstructions, his "Yin Shen" could float a kilometer away, but the hotel was only a few hundred meters away, where Lao Qian and Lawyer Yao lived.

Given Qian Guran's level of status, there was no need for Shi Hao to arrange an apartment for him like he did for He Kao. He booked an executive suite in this five-star hotel and lived with Yao Shaolan.

The two of them were still awake, so they sat in the living room and chatted. Otherwise, He Kao wouldn't be able to peek in, as it was inappropriate to look.

Yao Shaolan was just beginning to say, "Xiao Kao always felt that he was in trouble in Qiyuan, so he asked you to send him on a long-term business trip. As a result, he encountered even bigger problems... As the saying goes, fate cannot be avoided just because you want to."

Qian Guran: "If I were him, I would also want some peace and quiet. I thought the Huiming Shi family had been quieted down, but something like this happened. Even Deacon Zou was almost caught."

Yao Shaolan: "I am still feeling a bit nervous after Xiaokao. I had to warn you when I found a strange sorcerer at Qiyuan Railway Station."

Qian Guran: "It's right to be cautious. If you find anything similar, please inform me in time."

From this conversation, you can hear how tight-lipped Lao Qian is! He didn't even tell Yao Shaolan about the news that Mei Guyu was going to "work" at the Qiyuan branch, nor about the secret mission assigned to him by the Zongfa Hall.

They had clearly drunk wine during dinner, but the two seemed unsatisfied. They drank two cups of tea at He Kao's place, and then opened a bottle of red wine when they returned to the hotel, sipping it from the tall glass.

As Qian Guran was talking, he walked to the window with a glass of wine in his hand and looked at the other side of the Pearl River outside the window. Suddenly, his expression changed and there seemed to be a sharp look in his eyes.

Yao Shaolan was startled by the change and turned to look out the window. There was nothing outside the window, but as Qian Guran's eyes flashed, Yao Shaolan also saw a shadow.

How can I describe it? It's like suddenly shining a flashlight in the dark and seeing something, and then it disappears out of thin air. I almost think it's my own illusion.

Yao Shaolan exclaimed, "What is that?"

Qian Guran: "You saw it too? It felt like a human figure."

Yao Shaolan stood up and walked to the window, grabbing Qian Guran's arm and saying, "It looks a bit like the legendary Yin Shen ghost."

Qian Guran: "But there are no monsters in this world. It might be a kind of spying technique."

Yao Shaolan: "Is someone spying on us?"

Qian Guran said, "That's not surprising. I ruined Shi Yunlu's plan. According to Deacon Zou, it was a quack who set up the scheme. It was the Fabre that Shi Yunlu mentioned."

Fabre has a sixth-level cultivation level. When Chongguang and his accomplices ambushed Deacon Zou, he was severely injured by Elder Gu... Perhaps he has accomplices in Nanhua who are spying on the situation."

Yao Shaolan: "Did you sense any hostility? I don't seem to sense any malice."

Qian Guran: "I didn't sense any hostility, I just found them a little curious."

Yao Shaolan: "Since there is no malicious intent, then it's not right. It doesn't seem like the origin you described."

Qian Guran frowned and said, "Which sorcerer can master such a technique? I don't think I've ever heard of it."

Yao Shaolan: "You can't possibly know all the magical powers of the Shu Sect..." She paused and suddenly asked, "Ah, could it be the Hidden Moth?"

This method of appearing and disappearing without a trace is very similar to the legendary hidden moth. Qian Guran's expression froze when he heard this, and he quickly reminded him, "Don't make blind guesses. Don't say anything nonsense about the hidden moth!"

Lawyer Yao was really sensitive. She guessed it by accident, but she didn't know that He Kao was Yin E.

Qian had inadvertently revealed an important fact: the world was devoid of demons and monsters, which seemed quite materialistic. However, the existence of magical powers without demons and monsters seemed somewhat unreasonable.

After Qian Guran started learning magic, he also had the ideal of acquiring supernatural powers and slaying demons and monsters in the world. However, he later found that there were no demons to be slain, and he felt confused and regretful for a while.

He had asked his master in his early years why there were no demons and monsters. When he received the second inheritance at the beginning of the year, he consulted a master like the Second Elder. The answer made him somewhat frustrated - there are no demons and monsters, because no one has ever encountered one!
Not to mention him, none of the ancestors since ancient times have left any records on this matter...

However, He Kao did not hear the subsequent conversation between the two. His consciousness returned to his body instantly, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The last time he encountered the spiritual attack of a strange sorcerer at Qiyuan Railway Station, he only felt a slight tingling sensation after returning to his body, but this time he felt like his head was pricked by needles, and he even felt a little dizzy.

The art of observing qi is good at observing people. Although it is very useful in specific situations, it always feels that its power is limited... He Kao finally realized at this moment that no magic is truly useless.

Each technique has the effect of complementing and restraining each other. It seems that the technique of looking at qi is very effective in restraining the technique of hiding moths.

I remember at Qiyuan Railway Station, He Kao wasn't noticed until he sat across from the strange monk. But tonight, he was floating outside the window, several meters away from Old Qian, separated by a layer of glass, yet he was discovered and attacked. Even more surprising, Qian Guran's magical power could actually "see" him!

Old Qian, sitting in the room, might have noticed something. Otherwise, why would he stand up and run to the window while we were talking peacefully? He suddenly used magic!
That is the spirit-suppressing technique of Wangqimen, also jokingly called the aura-stunning technique. It is performed with the help of spiritual consciousness and can be used for single-target attacks or large-scale group attacks.

For example, if a teacher also knows this method, he can make the students quiet down by coughing in a noisy classroom.

It sounds like it is not very useful, but it is aggressive at some point, mainly because it can weaken the other party's will, making them more easily persuaded, or temporarily forget to refute and resist.

Unexpectedly, when Lao Qian glanced over, his soul-suppressing technique almost hurt He Kao's "Yin Shen".

The disembodied consciousness is invisible, so of course it won't suffer any tangible damage. However, the energy is severely depleted, and the person feels extremely tired. If this loss exceeds a certain limit, then the true spirit is damaged.

This also made He Kao break out in a cold sweat. It seems that the consciousness leaving the body is not omnipotent. If he wants to use this kind of magical power in the future, it is better to stay away from the valve-watching sorcerer.

He took out three incense sticks to refresh his mind and lit them in the room, then began to sit in meditation. During the practice, his consciousness was still out of his body, but it did not float around, but hovered above his body.

The incense that wakes you up is light green in color. When it is lit, it leaves pure white ash, but the volatilized gas does not produce smoke, and the so-called "incense" is also colorless and odorless.

If someone could see He Kao's Yin spirit, they would find that after the awakening incense was lit, the colorless, odorless and invisible smoke floated above He Kao's body, making his out-of-body consciousness more solid.

With the help of the awakening incense and self-cultivation, He Kao had basically recovered the next day. At least he no longer felt tired and dizzy, but he was still a little listless, as if he had indulged in excessive sexual activities at night.

He wasn't really injured, he was just in a bad mood. After all, he was dealt with by someone online yesterday, and he also discovered that his latest magical power also had obvious weaknesses.

During the following period, He Kao restrained himself and did not try to leave his body to explore. He just practiced diligently. Yao Shaolan stayed in Nanhua for a week and helped He Kao complete the procedures for acquiring shares in Huishi Mingpin.

He Kao had originally come on a business trip to provide on-site technical support, but he ended up becoming a shareholder in the company. After the six million yuan was taken away, he had very little spare cash and couldn't afford to buy any new equipment.

Fortunately, his monthly salary and travel allowance are enough for his personal expenses.

As for inviting Huang Xiaopang to serve as a director of Huishi Mingpin, He Kao specifically greeted Lin Qingshuang and Chen's mother separately, and then found Xiaopang himself to discuss it.

Huang Xiaopang hesitated for several minutes before agreeing, and emphasized that this was just to give face to He Kao.

Another week passed, and He Kao finally received good news. Elder Gu contacted him and said that he had obtained the moth wings and asked him to meet in Qiyuan.

If it was someone else's appointment, He Kao would have to buy a plane ticket or a high-speed rail ticket to pretend. But since it was Elder Gu's appointment, there was no need to pretend. He could just use the ability of the hidden moth to return to Qiyuan and meet at his hometown in Pugang Town.

Elder Gu was not shy. When He Kao appeared in the yard, he had already made tea in the main room and was drinking it by himself.

When he saw He Kao, he casually placed something on the table and said, "This is the moth wing. Put it on first."

Although moth wings are invisible, they usually have a solid shape. For example, Yin'esha usually looks like an eye mask, while moth wings look like two silver feathers connected at the roots, forming the shape of a bracelet.

This item looked like it was made with exquisite craftsmanship, which reminded He Kao of Deacon Zou's personal magic weapon, the Jade Locking Pillar. It seemed that the style of this lineage's weapon refining tradition was also the same.

If you are not satisfied with the shape, you can refine it again and change it into another shape. There is no need to spend time on it now. Just use it for now.

He Kao took the moth wing and couldn't let it go. He thanked Gu Chun repeatedly. Gu Chun smiled and said, "Now that you have broken through to the fourth level, as your elder, I should also give you a weapon.

You need to be more familiar with this magical instrument to avoid accidents when using it. Is there any suitable place? You try it first, and I will protect you. If you fall from the sky, I can still rescue you. "

He Kao: "Yes, Caiping Cave Heaven."

Gu Chun was drinking tea. Hearing this, several drops of tea suddenly spilled out of his cup. He put down the cup and asked, "What? You really found the Caiping Cave Heaven?"

He Kao: "You also know about Caiping Cave Heaven?"

Gu Chun: "It's not that I know, but Old Man Jiang deduced that since the seven major sects each have a cave heaven, then the Yin E Sect should also have a cave heaven, and the name is likely to be Caiping Cave Heaven... I think so too."

He Kao: "Since you've guessed this a long time ago, why are you asking today?"

Gu Chun: "Because you just said it today!"

It seems that if He Kao doesn't want to talk about something, the old man won't ask. He Kao said awkwardly: "It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's mainly because the previous two meetings were too hasty and there were many other things to do."

Gu Chun: "Let's not talk about anything else. May I ask where is Caiping Cave Heaven?"

He Kao: “Everywhere.”

Gu Tsubaki: "Random portal?"

He Kao: "You are very clever. You guessed it right at once. I will take you in to have a look."
