Daoqi Huangcheng

Chapter 39. Goodbye, Tian Kui Zi

Two days later, Song Chen comprehended the [Water Escape] technique.

Two days later, he comprehended the meaning of "rainfall".

Three days later, he comprehended the [Karma Mirror].

In just seven days, he completely mastered the three intermediate supernatural powers in the "Yellow Springs Scripture".

As he comprehended the [Karma Mirror], a mysterious feeling arose in his heart.

The next instant.
brush!
The black jade slip containing the "Yellow Springs Sutra" has disappeared.

Instead, a new line of information appeared in the [Treasures] section of Song Chen's mind, which, when viewed in its entirety, read:

1. The Mirror of Illusion and Reality (Extremely Damaged)
2. The Yellow Springs Sutra

3. The Treasure Box of Time
4. ? ? ?

5. ? ? ?

6. ? ? ?

Song Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.

The "Karma Mirror" in the Yellow Springs Sutra is not a normal spell, which also proves that the Yellow Springs Sutra is not just a jade slip for teaching techniques, but a treasure in itself.

After he comprehended the [Karma Mirror], he was able to utilize the treasure [Yellow Springs Sutra], thus fulfilling the requirements for containing the [Book of Three Lifetimes].

'That's good, saves me the trouble of holding it in my hand and worrying about being discovered.'

'Good news.'

Song Chen smiled easily, then rubbed his temples, which were a little sore from using his intelligence, wiped away the sweat, stretched, and carefully sensed his own power.

Water 5, Metal 4, Wood 2, and Fire 5 from the [Mirror of Illusion and Reality].

This is his current level of achievement.

He was absolutely certain that, even though both were at the fifth level of Qi Gathering, a person with multiple spiritual roots was far stronger than one with a single spiritual root. It was as if, as two twenty-year-old adults, one was skinny and bony while the other was muscular.

Now that all the necessary materials have been used up, the Yellow Springs cannot be summoned, and all the supernatural powers that can be comprehended have been completely mastered, it is time to temporarily put the cultivation on hold.

Song Chen went to the mountain spring and jumped into the water with a splash.

He arrived in the dead of winter, but now, more than three months later, it is springtime, and the spring water is clear and sweet.

He held the water in his hands and took a comfortable bath in the midnight moonlight. After getting ashore, he used his "drainage" technique to remove all the water droplets from his body and clothes, letting them fall onto the grass.

He went to the mountainside, raised his hand and touched the cover made of the "Golden Bell Talisman", and the cover shattered.

He walked to the door and pushed it open.

Pei Qingyue's voice came from the dark room.

"Ms. sir?"

"it's me."

Qingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Chen said, "I've finished my cultivation. Starting tomorrow, I need to find a way to investigate the situation outside."

Qingyue paused in the darkness, realizing that her husband meant he would be sleeping at home tonight.

In the past, she would have gone straight to sleep, but thinking of her older sister's repeated instructions to her these past few days, she gritted her teeth, mustered her spirits, and quickly stepped forward.

Song Chen felt his hand being held, and heard Qingyue's voice in his ear.

"My lord, come here, let me show you something interesting."

Song Chen was taken aback and was pulled into the bedroom on the left.

Then, he experienced the passion of the lazy young woman he used to know.

Originally, he and Pei Qingyue only performed their marital relations in the most traditional way, but tonight, he experienced much more.
A wide variety of colors.

for a long time
For a very long time.
Pei Qingyue was exhausted.

She nestled against her husband and fell asleep.

The warm, close contact between flesh and flesh, along with Qingyue's exhaustion, made Song Chen feel both at ease and amused. He flipped his hand and pulled out the black jade slip of the Yellow Springs Scripture from the Book of Three Lifetimes, and various images began to appear in his eyes.

【Karma Mirror】Illuminates karma without harming anyone or making any noise. It is silent and discerning, yet it sees through everything. Its only limitation is that it can only be used on those whose realm and strength are lower than its own.

He saw his wife being taught these tricks by that vixen sister-in-law, saw his wife's fear of him, saw their daily life these past few days, saw his wife working as a celestial talisman guard in the capital, and even saw how Yang Dongdu had secretly pursued his wife before.

Then, he saw his timid wife enter the Que family compound with his sister-in-law, and saw her overjoyed that the mansion had been transformed into the Shenyun Mansion and that they had entered the core area of ​​the Que family compound.
The [Karma Mirror] continues, and he even saw his wife when she was a child.

There was a little girl crying, being led by her older sister to stand in front of her parents' graves. She hugged the tombstone, crying and calling out "Father, Mother." Her older sister let her cry and then told her, "Father and Mother were killed by poverty. In this world, poverty is a sin. You must strive to climb up and become powerful and wealthy."
Today, they have become the powerful and wealthy.

Or rather, it had already become so.

They had already moved into the core area of ​​General Que's mansion, but they had to move away from that area because Que Shenyun died in an accident.

Song Chen closed his eyes and put away the Yellow Springs Sutra jade slip.

The young lady Qingyue had her past investigated by him, but she was completely unaware, and didn't even wake up. The next day...
Entering the mountains is difficult, but leaving them is easy.

They simply sealed the food away, closed the door, and only took the gold and silver before heading to the mountain spring.

A ball of dark blue light instantly enveloped the three of them, then plunged into the spring and sped away underwater at an incredible speed.

The next day
A county town.

This place seemed unaffected by the plague. At first, Song Chen and the others were very curious, but after learning a little, they found out that the source of the plague had been found in the capital last month and had been successfully resolved.

At this moment, in a rather large clothing store.

Song Chen raised his hands slightly, showing off the black robe he had just chosen.

Young Lady Qingyue gazed at him with fascination and exclaimed, "My lord, you are so handsome! But... aren't the sleeves of this robe a little too wide?"

Her obsession was taught by her older sister; men always hope that their wives will look at them with adoration and affection.

Song Chen naturally knew all this, but he didn't expose it.

As for the cuff width
In fact, anyone would have made this suggestion, because the sleeves of the black robe he chose were really large, so large that they wouldn't be noticed when he was holding the Yellow Springs Scripture jade slip.

A moment later, Qingyue, the young lady, happily accompanied her husband as they left the clothing store.

Song Chen walked down the street with his hands behind his back, holding the Yellow Springs Scripture jade slip.

The use of the [Karma Mirror] consumes almost no spiritual energy, simply because he holds this jade slip in his hand.

However, when he releases the jade slip or puts it into his storage bag, even if he uses all his spiritual energy and perfectly activates the [Karma Mirror] divine power, he will not be able to succeed.

Although this county town is some distance from the capital, it is not as far as Yongcui County, and many people coming and going here come from the capital.

At this moment, scenes flashed before his eyes.

He patiently examined them.

As evening approached, he pieced together the information he had gathered and gained a general understanding of what had happened in the capital.

A terrifying rat demon appeared in the capital. This rat demon was manipulated by spies from the Jin Kingdom, and it could transmit sound through the wind and control beasts with sound.

When the plague was at its worst in the capital, even the iron gates of the sewers were covered with corpses, their pale faces turned outwards, a truly horrifying sight.

The subsequent spread of the plague was actually orchestrated by spies from the State of Jin, who aimed to create chaos in Dayong.

In the state of Jin, there was a great clan called the Myriad Beasts Clan.

The people of the sect are skilled at controlling demonic beasts.

The rat demon was a type of monster they controlled.

During the plague, the capital was in chaos, and many families were caught up in it, resulting in the deaths of many people.

Unfortunately, these Jin spies were eventually found by the combined forces of the imperial garrison, cultivators, and guards, and many were even beheaded at the execution ground.

It is worth mentioning the Yu family.

The Yu family was completely wiped out.

The Yu family's identity as spies was naturally exposed. The Yu family's patriarch, who was at the high level of Qi Gathering, was personally escorted by an elder from the Imperial City Temple and beheaded in front of everyone at the execution ground.

The Yu family is gone; the entire family was executed, and even the women were denied the opportunity to enter the brothel.

In addition, spies from the North were also implicated. The North collaborated with the Great Jin Dynasty to cause trouble in the capital. Many of these spies have been found, tortured, and beheaded.

However, there are still many spies in the wild. The imperial court has sent people to search everywhere, but most of those spies dare not show their faces or act openly anymore.

"The imperial court is still capable," Song Chen couldn't help but remark.

However, he did not see anything about the "Marrow-Eating Crane Demon" or the "Sewing Man's Mansion," nor did he see the event "triggered" by the vast Yellow Springs in the north.

'The waters in the capital are still very deep; I'll observe from the sidelines for a while longer.'

Several days later.
The aftereffects of the epidemic are also rapidly diminishing.

Song Chen stayed at the inn.

He avoided the most chaotic period in the capital and improved his strength. Now he is pondering where to go next.

One evening.
Just as Song Chen was about to close the window of the side room, he saw a streak of light break through the air and come flying in.

He frowned, but felt that the escaping light must have been on an errand.

But he was wrong.

The streaks of light veered in mid-air and headed precisely toward the inn where he was staying. It then slipped through the window and landed in front of him, revealing the appearance of an old man.

The old man had slightly white hair, wore a golden sword robe, the hem of which was embroidered with the element of metal from the Five Elements. He carried a sword box on his back, and a bright hairpin tied a jade crown around his neck. His temperament was sharp and inexhaustible.

Song Chen could hardly believe his eyes, but he still immediately said respectfully, "Disciple Song Chen greets Master Tian Kui Zi."

The newcomer was none other than Tian Kuizi, the master of Jinxia Mountain and a great swordsman at the ninth level of Qi Gathering.

Tian Kuizi looked at Song Chen and smiled, saying, "Yu Cheng was a spy from the Jin Kingdom. You did a good job killing him."

A chilling aura suddenly rose from the depths of Song Chen's heart. If he hadn't known he couldn't defeat Tian Kuizi and couldn't escape, he would have already taken action.
