Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 116 Buddha? Evil God!
Li Liang reached out to touch the rattle, and as he was about to touch it, an evil smile gradually appeared on his face... It looked quite perverted.

However, at this moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

And it was at this moment that his expression changed drastically, his whole body was shaking but he couldn't move.

Binding spell!
Zhao Yifu now feels that the sealing technique is really useful and convenient.

But now, looking at the evil rattle, he dared not be careless anymore.

He pushed Li Liang away and at the same time released the binding spell.

The man took two steps back and wanted to pounce, but Zhao Yifu had already closed the brocade box.

"Brother Hanshan, you are tired, go and rest."

Li Liang suddenly woke up with a start, and then a large amount of sweat suddenly broke out on his back, soaking large areas of his clothes.

He realized that something was wrong with him and was filled with fear.

"Thank you for your reminder, sir. I almost..."

He couldn't continue because he didn't know what would have happened if he hadn't been stopped.

At this moment, he was actually feeling grateful to Zhao Yifu, and there was no need to lie about that.

As a person who prides himself on being calm and resourceful, what I fear most is the situation of losing control.

"Sir, I'm leaving."

He decided to go back and have a good rest.

Zhao Yifu looked at him and said, "Well, go ahead, but don't forget to bring your things."

Li Liang was stunned for a moment, then followed Zhao Yifu's gaze and saw the map and the large stack of land deeds on the table in the warehouse...

My goodness, this guy is really a dog!

If I take these things back, can it still be considered a rest?
Work brought home doesn’t count as overtime, right?

However, the situation was stronger than people, and Li Liang left with a cold heart, carrying the pile of things.

He didn't go home, but went straight to the yamen to call the clerks to come and work together.

Zhao Yifu waited until Li Liang left before he looked at the brocade box containing the strange rattle again.

To be honest, even though the lid is on now, Zhao Yifu can still feel some spiritual light from the rattle slowly emanating from the gaps in the brocade box.

In other words, this brocade box cannot truly seal the spiritual energy of the "Qingxin Fulu Xiangpi Drum"... or rather the evil energy.

Zhao Yifu took a deep breath, and after a brief thought, he took out a piece of spiritual paper he brought from his master.

Having spiritual paper is not enough, you also need spiritual ink.

He did have some base materials for spiritual ink, which his grandfather had left for him because he saw that he liked it.

However, blood is needed to blend spiritual ink. The better the blood donor's cultivation, the better the effect of the blended spiritual ink will naturally be.

Zhao Yifu thought about it and finally did not use his own blood.

Instead, he used a jar of something called 'Dragon Blood Wine' stored in the warehouse.

After he opened the wine jar, he smelled a strong, sweet aroma with a hint of medicine. There was also a smell of blood, which was not strong but lingering.

However, when he used his spiritual vision to see the objects in the wine jar, he discovered that what was inside was a poisonous snake that had been drained of blood. The lower half of the jar was buried by the residue of many precious medicinal herbs. In fact, the wine in this jar only occupied the middle third of the jar.

Zhao Yifu felt the ingredients of the wine and immediately knew that it was a good thing. It was definitely good for strengthening the body, and long-term consumption might even bring spring back to life.

He simply used this wine as water to mix the spiritual ink.

As the spiritual ink danced around his hands, he immediately felt that the power that the spiritual ink could carry was greatly enhanced.

It is at least twice as strong as the spiritual ink made from his father's blood!
Then Zhao Yifu waved his hand, pressed the spiritual ink with his palm, opened his five fingers and printed it on the spiritual paper that flew up at the right time.

The spirit paper paused in front of him, and then the Five Elements Sealing Technique spread to the entire spirit paper with his five fingers as the center.

Then the spiritual paper rolled up again and was slapped on the brocade box by Zhao Yi Fu with a little force.

The next moment, all the aura from the brocade box was isolated.

Five Elements Sealing Technique.

This was the first time Zhao Yifu used the five sealing techniques together after learning them all.

He could feel that this seal was particularly strong.

Because the sealing of any line is a kind of perfection.

And these five elements connected together form a great perfection.

Therefore, the strength of this sealing technique is not just five times that of a single line, but increases exponentially.

Only after he completed the seal did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He did this purely based on his feelings.

Because he felt that this thing was really uncomfortable to look at, but now that the seal was completed, he no longer felt uncomfortable.

There was still a lot of "dragon blood wine" left. Zhao Yifu hesitated for a moment, then took out all his remaining spiritual ink base materials, and then mixed a lot of spiritual ink with the dragon blood wine.

He looked around and found a purple gold bowl in the warehouse, then poured all the spiritual ink into it.

This purple gold bowl should also be a ritual instrument, but it has no spiritual energy or magic power.

This time, Zhao Yi Fu did not tear the spiritual paper again. He just put one hand on the purple gold bowl and cast a five-element seal, and then put it into his sleeve.

After doing all this, I looked around the warehouse and saw that there was nothing worth staying in, so I walked out.

He said to the officer guarding the warehouse, "Watch this place carefully. If nothing is lost, I will give you some special rewards."

The officer quickly thanked him.

As for rewards, they are secondary. The key point is that this gentleman killed the Qian family and confiscated their property as soon as he arrived. What a cruel thing to do.

Zhao Yifu nodded, but in his heart he felt that such an important place should be left to the cat yamen runners...

No, he felt that the cat runners should do something right in a conspicuous place.

He realized that humane willpower was still very beneficial to the cats, so it would be better to let the cats perform meritorious deeds in front of people, and leave this leisurely work to the original servants.

Zhao Yifu had an idea in his mind, and then went home to make arrangements.

In fact, it was only his second day in Fenglin County. He originally didn't want to start working so early, but now it seemed that he had no choice but to do so.

He thought for a moment and called the mustache man over.

Little Mustache has returned to his cat form at this time, but he is still wearing a yamen runner's hat, which looks very interesting.

He asked, "Little Moustache, do you know about the Chakravartin Buddhism?"

The man with the mustache tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said in a somewhat alcoholic, uncle-like voice, "I do remember. He was a rather cruel evil god. He proclaimed himself a Buddha, but in reality he was just an evil demon."

Its eyes wandered for a moment. It would have been better if Grandma Sanhua had answered this question, and it would have provided more details. Unfortunately, Grandma Sanhua wanted to maintain her "cat persona" as Hua Da Niu, so she was reluctant to speak easily. The mustache man added, "If the master were to confront that evil Buddha, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it easily."

Zhao Yifu pondered and asked, "Where is it?"

The man with the mustache said, "No one knows where its true form is, because if it were to show its true form, it would surely be attacked by the two sects of cultivators in Prison Cell Mountain."

Zhao Yifu was quite surprised when he heard this and asked, "Why is that?"

The man with the mustache said, "Because the evil Buddha Lunzang likes to use living people, especially young girls, to refine his magical instruments. I heard that those who were used to refine his magical instruments were tortured horribly, and the magical instruments that were refined have very magical effects..."

Zhao Yifu felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. He finally determined what the thing he had sealed before was made of.

The soft and delicate drum cover of the 'Qingxin Fulu Xiangpi Drum' is probably made of a young girl's skin!

And the drumsticks and poles must be made of human bones.

He was now extremely glad that he had not touched that thing, as he was a germaphobe when it came to this.

Zhao Yifu calmed down and asked again, "Which two sects are there in this prison mountain, and what do they do?"

The man with the mustache said, "There's a sect near the outer edge of the mountain range that specializes in forging magical instruments and spiritual weapons. It's called the Xieyue Sect."

"Because most of the instruments they forge are ultimately created through blood sacrifice, they are considered to be an evil sect."

"Although the people of the Xieyue Sect have eccentric personalities, they don't fight with others. As long as there is sufficient compensation and the materials and sacrifices are provided, they will make tools for anyone."

Zhao Yifu asked, "What about the other sect?"

The mustache said, "That's called the 'Five Poison Cave'. You have to go deeper into the mountains to encounter them."

"As the name suggests, they like to cultivate poisonous creatures to fight their enemies. They are extremely aggressive and often capture demons or human cultivators as food."

"It can be said to be notorious among these 100,000 mountains."

Zhao Yifu nodded and asked, "Are these the only two sects on such a large Prison Cell Mountain?"

The man with the mustache said, "Originally, there was a 'Linzang Temple', but..."

Zhao Yifu understood immediately after hearing this. The 'Lunzang Temple' must have been destroyed by the other two families, and the Lunzang King was probably the remnant of the 'Lunzang Temple'. This also explained why the Lunzang King had to spread his faith secretly in the mountain villages on the edge of the Prisoner Mountain.

He said, "I understand. We'll be staying in Fenglin County for a long time, but I don't trust any of the local officials. So I want you and everyone else to take on important positions within the government. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the mustache's eyes lit up. It quickly revealed its human form and knelt on the ground, saying, "Thank you for your mercy, my Lord. If I achieve anything in the future, I will never forget your kindness."

He obviously understood the benefits of being a police officer.

Zhao Yifu warned, "But there's a problem here. Your bodies are all illusions, so there won't be any mistakes, right?"

The man with the mustache immediately assured, "Don't worry, my lord. All the cat demons that can transform have already refined their transverse bones and can speak. They all have at least a hundred years of cultivation and will definitely not make mistakes easily."

Zhao Yifu: "..."

It turns out that his cats are older than him.

But come to think of it, it seems his house originally only had ordinary cats. When did these century-old cats sneak in?
I have a headache, I can’t figure it out, I don’t want to think about it anymore.

He said, "That's good."

But this time it was the mustache that hesitated. It said, "My Lord, I'm afraid that some passing Taoist priests might meddle in our affairs and see through our true intentions, which could lead to trouble."

Zhao Yifu was stunned for a moment, then pondered and said, "Why would they cause trouble?"

The man with the mustache said with some emotion, "Because when human cultivators see us demons, they always think we are doing evil, so they often beat and kill us without any explanation."

Zhao Yifu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then run away immediately, no matter what, and come back to me."

The man with the mustache was surprised when he heard this, "But if we do that, won't we bring disaster upon the Lord?"

Wow, that little mustache guy is so sensible that it makes me feel distressed.

Zhao Yifu immediately said proudly, "What are you afraid of? Just lead him here."

"I am the official of this place, and a Chunyang cultivator of the utmost seriousness. I want to see who dares to be so blind."

He still remembered what his master had said, that almost no one in their lineage wanted to get involved.

The mustache was deeply moved and said, "Now I feel at ease."

"Actually, we raccoons are quite good at escaping. Many times when we're captured by human cultivators, it's usually because we're distracted..."

What it said was a little unclear, but Zhao Yifu could understand that cats are generally "stupid to death".

Zhao Yifu said, "Let's pass on the matter and stabilize the current situation first. Then I will need you to accompany me to survey the land in Fenglin County."

The man with a mustache responded and left.

Zhao Yifu paced around the courtyard. Then Yiyi jumped out from his large, majestic robes and sat upright in front of him...

Well, it's doing a breathing motion.

Only then did Zhao Yifu realize that his kitten was practicing against all odds.

This is to breathe in the spiritual energy in this courtyard.

Zhao Yifu immediately came to his senses and decided not to go out until the concentration of spiritual energy in the yard returned to normal.

As for government affairs?
Ha, government affairs still need him?

The problem can be solved by spending so much effort to recruit the tools.

He was relieved that the cats were responsible for the duties.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why an emperor could stay in the harem for twenty years without attending court. As long as the workload of his subordinates was properly distributed, the boss could go fishing, pick up girls, and work as a carpenter.

After explaining everything, Zhao Yifu was relieved.

He began to continue to ponder his own "Law of Keeping Benevolence".

But just when he was regulating his breathing, Wu Zhong arrived.

He said, "Young Master, the three heads of the Zhao, Sun, and Wu families are waiting to see you at the door."

When Zhao Yifu heard it was them, he waved his hand and said, "No, just ask them to pay the tax in full. Otherwise, if there's still arrears after a month, I'll come and collect it myself."

Wu Zhong nodded happily and said, "Okay."

This servant was just like that, he completely stood on the side of his young master and never complained too much.

So when he got outside, he said very bluntly, "Young Master said he wouldn't see you. He wants you to pay all the taxes you owe, including the principal and interest. I only give you ten days!"

Saying that, he turned around and left.

The three family heads hurried over to speak, only to see that Xiaohu, who had transformed into a strong man, and other strong "cats" had blocked the door, leaving them helpless.

I have to say, Wu Zhong is a guy who has been in the underworld and he is really good at spreading the word...

　I really can't code. Programming consumes too much brain energy... When did people start to misunderstand me as someone who can do digital work?
