Martial God Development Plan

Ji Zhao must go back. He has too many reasons to go back and it is impossible for him to stay in such a place.

......chant

In a blink of an eye, three days have passed and it is time to hold the Zhenwu Festival. People will commemorate this day as if it were a grand festival to express their respect for the Zhenwu Emperor and pray to him to bless the world with peace.

Ji Zhao brought two disciples to the town, where the place was decorated with lights and lanterns, and the streets were lined with vendors, with all kinds of activities being held... This was a time when the Thai economy was relatively well-off, and funds were allocated by the court and sent to various provinces as funds for the Zhenwu Festival. The town was now unusually lively.

Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Snow and Moon: Chapter 114: Departure Ceremony

The three of them came to the center of the town, where a stage had been built and the classic drama "Zhenwu Dangmo" was being performed. The actors were singing non-stop on the stage. This was a rare entertainment in ancient times, so most of the town's residents came here.

After the troupe sang a few plays, the Taoist priests came in to perform a ritual. The common people were a little reluctant to give them face, and half of them were missing when the priests were replaced, and half of them were missing again when the ritual began. As for what would happen near the end, Ji Zhao had no idea. He had no interest in the Taoist priests' performance and left with his disciples halfway through.

Yuelong Town, where the Zhenwu Festival was held, was extremely lively. Lighting lanterns, watching lanterns, lion dancing, pitching pots, guessing lantern riddles, and various street snacks all injected a lot of vitality into the town... Speaking of which, it can be said that Taoist Wang Yu has some weight, otherwise such an ordinary town like this would definitely not have such a large-scale activity.

"Master, Master! Look over here!" Zhu Sha arrived in front of the pitching pot stall and waved to Ji Zhao. His little face was flushed with excitement. "Look, Zhu Sha will win something for Master!"

Now is not a banquet, so the punishment for losing in the game of pitching pots is certainly not drinking. In fact, it is similar to the future game of ring tossing. You pay a certain entrance fee and then get prizes based on the number of hits.

Zhu Sha paid the money and then threw with all her might, but for a warrior of her level, her internal energy had not yet been able to increase accuracy, which was beyond the scope of the application. Moreover, the Red Moon's internal energy was powerful, but because of this, it was more difficult to control.

Cinnabar failed in his first few throws, but he gradually grasped the essence of it. Finally, he threw five times in a row and hit the target all five times. He received a small ornament as a gift from the merchant... a jade ornament.

Of course, don’t care whether this jade ornament is real or fake. It’s better to hope that there is really a beautiful, fair-skinned, long-legged Sister Chang’e living on the moon than to hope that this thing is real.

Zhusha hung the jade ornament on Ji Zhao excitedly, but the excitement on her face faded away little by little. During these three days, she had already felt that Ji Zhao's departure was inevitable. At the beginning of the Zhenwu Festival, she tried to make herself forget this, but the act of giving a gift carried a hint of parting, and the emotion swept over her uncontrollably.

Zhu Sha whispered, "Master... Zhu Sha will give you something better in the future."

Will there be a future?

Ji Zhao didn't say this, perhaps it would have been better if he had said this, but it was too cruel to Zhu Sha. He could only smile gently and then reach out to touch Zhu Sha's head.

"Enjoy this Zhenwu Festival." Ji Zhao had already made up his mind to leave tomorrow after leaving a letter. He didn't want Zhu Sha to still look so sad on their last night together. He reached out and gently pulled Zhu Sha's cheek... The little girl didn't have much flesh on her face, but after Ji Zhao took care of her for a while, she had some baby fat, which made her much cuter than her original thin and miserable appearance. She exuded a new brilliance, like a dry grass moistened by the sun and rain. "Come on, smile, Zhu Sha."

Zhu Sha smiled at Ji Zhao, but the worry between his brows still could not be resolved. Ji Zhao had no choice but to praise him softly, "Good boy."

Fuzhe went to guess riddles. He didn't speak Shenzhou dialect very fluently, but he knew a lot about the language of Shenzhou, and he got the riddles right one after another... Feng State has admired the culture of Shenzhou since ancient times. This was the first time that Fuzhe participated in the activities here, so he seemed very excited. Among the three people, he, the oldest, was the happiest and most excited.

Zhu Sha held Ji Zhao's arm and stayed close to him. The three of them walked around in the market. Ji Zhao also spent money to buy some small gifts for the two disciples. They were amulets made by an old woman. The materials used were ordinary, but the workmanship was exquisite. Ji Zhao bought them and gave them to the two of them as a so-called "graduation gift". Although they were not yet ready to go out as apprentices, Ji Zhao had to let them go out as apprentices in the face of the current situation.

"Master, I want to ask for a fortune stick." In a corner of the street, Fuzhe found a stall with fortune sticks - it was not set up by a Taoist priest, and the owner of the stall did not have the ability to interpret the sticks. In fact, it was similar to the lottery that Ji Zhao encountered last time. Prizes were given according to the sticks drawn. In essence, it had nothing to do with divination. It was nothing more than trying to get some luck from the fortune sticks. "You are leaving, and I hope you have a safe journey..."

As a man, Fuzhe left his hometown and came to Shenzhou. Naturally, his ability to withstand separation is not as good as Zhusha's. Although he felt a little sorry about Ji Zhao's departure, he knew this before he became his disciple, and now he accepted this result calmly.

For the negative discount at the moment, whether or not to draw a prize is not important, the main thing is to pray for a good omen, Ji Zhao nodded gently and said with a smile: "Good... Then go and pray for one."

The three of them came to the stall, paid the money on the negative side, and drew three lots: man, earth, and sky... The lots they drew were neither good nor bad, just very mediocre.

"Let me try!" Zhu Sha said, wanting to ask for a good fortune for Ji Zhao. He paid the money and drew three lots in a row, but they were all very mediocre.

Ji Zhao didn't care about this matter. He just smiled and ignored whether the two disciples drew good lots or not. In other words, as long as they didn't draw any weird lots, it would be fine. Now the ending was exactly what he wanted. But when Ji Zhao's eyes swept across the lot box, his expression changed slightly.

This fortune stick contains no human luck, earth luck, or heavenly luck.

The three best lottery tickets were taken away and replaced with the three worst lottery tickets. This is equivalent to the store taking away the grand prize and the first and second prizes in a lottery and replacing them with consolation prizes... This method is a bit dirty.

Ji Zhao originally didn't plan to do anything, but now he felt a little uncomfortable, so he smiled and said, "Since you have all drawn lots for me, I will also draw a lot for you..."

Ji Zhao picked up the lottery stick tube and took a quick look. He found three lucky sticks in the vendor's sleeve. This man was obviously an old hand as he covered it tightly. Moreover, from the contact just now, Ji Zhao saw that his fingers were very flexible and his speed was extremely fast. He estimated that if someone really questioned the composition of the sticks in his lottery stick tube, he would use his hand speed that was comparable to or even far beyond that of a magician to replace the three lucky sticks in a flash.

[“But if he made a mistake, then it would be the end. For example, if the lot that was drawn before was turned over and there was no lot, even a fool would know that he changed the lot...I see.”]

Ji Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly. The duplicate sticks had been tampered with. When the stick tube was tilted, they would naturally sink to the bottom of the tube. In this way, it would be absolutely impossible to make a mistake in changing them.

[“He’s a veteran.”]

After confirming the other party's identity, Ji Zhao was no longer polite and said to the two disciples with a smile: "Do you believe that I can draw three fortune sticks?"

"Three fortune sticks..." Fuzhe calculated, "Logically, it takes 10,368 draws to get one... But, since Master said so, I will definitely believe Master."

Zhu Sha pursed her lips. Normally, she worshipped Ji Zhao almost blindly, and this worship was better than negativity. However, now, she had a different opinion: "It takes more than ten thousand times to draw once... What if Master doesn't draw it?"

Ji Zhao smiled and touched Zhu Sha's head: "What do you want me to do, little Zhu Sha?"

"Don't always treat Zhu Sha like a child..." Zhu Sha muttered at first, then showed her ferocious fangs. She hugged Ji Zhao's arm and said in a loud voice, "If Master fails in his boasting, he will have to stay with Zhu Sha for a year... No, at least another month will be fine!"

When Zhu Sha made this request, he had no idea what to do and was prepared to be rejected. However, Ji Zhao smiled calmly and said, "Okay."

“Eh…?!”

Zhu Sha was stunned. He didn't expect Ji Zhao to actually agree.

Ji Zhao reached out and asked the boss for the signature box.

When the boss saw Ji Zhao, whose appearance and temperament were like a banished immortal and whose clothes were extremely gorgeous, he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart. He reached out and grasped the stick tube, and with his sleeves hanging naturally, he quietly replaced the three sticks in. There was no trace of awkwardness in his movements. If Ji Zhao had not noticed it long ago, he would not have noticed his little move.

[“…Humph, you are quite sharp at this time.”]

Since the other party was sensible, Ji Zhao didn't bother to make a big deal out of it. He stretched out his hand and randomly drew out three sticks.

Needless to say, it is the luck of man, the luck of the earth, and the luck of heaven!

All three lots hit the jackpot!

Fuzhe had said before that he believed Ji Zhao could pull it out, but when he saw this scene, he showed a look of surprise... This matter sounds a bit contradictory and very strange, but it is indeed the case. Fuzhe was not just speaking for show, he really believed that Ji Zhao could pull it out, but when Ji Zhao really pulled it out, he thought it was nonsense.

Zhu Sha seemed to think that Ji Zhao couldn't draw the lottery, so she made a bet with Ji Zhao. But when Ji Zhao drew the three lottery sticks, she first showed a tearful expression, and then she said "I knew it would be like this"...

The stall owner, on the other hand, was very surprised at this moment.

"Three...three lucky sticks?!"

The Three Lucky Lots are easier to draw than the Three Earthly Evils and the Three Heavenly Disasters. This is not just a matter of probability. The Three Earthly Evils and the Three Heavenly Disasters are hated by gods and abandoned by ghosts. Generally speaking, they are plagued by disasters. It is equivalent to that there are many potential Three Earthly Evils and the Three Heavenly Disasters who die before they even live to see the day of the draw... Even so, the Three Lucky Lots are extremely precious.

He also didn't expect that Ji Zhao could really pull it out!

"Give me the money." Ji Zhao put down the lottery ticket at this time. Among the three tickets, the amount of money was extremely large.

The stall owner pretended to be pitiful at this time, trying to get away with the matter. Ji Zhao was too lazy to bother with such a character and ruin his mood for the night, so he took all the money from him and considered the matter over with.

"How did you do this?" Zhu Sha shook Ji Zhao's arm. "Master, please tell Zhu Sha and make him admit defeat."

Ji Zhao chuckled and said, "How do you think I did it, Zhu Sha?"

Zhu Sha said coquettishly: "Zhu Sha asked because I couldn't think of it."

Ji Zhao naturally couldn't tell the real reason. There were too many things about him that he couldn't share with others, even if that person was his close friend or trusted him completely... After two years, he seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life full of lies and riddles.

Now, of course, it is the same. Ji Zhao lowered his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "There is no reason. I can do it. As long as there are fortune sticks in the fortune stick tube, I can draw them out."

This answer obviously could not satisfy Zhu Sha.

"It's definitely not that simple...Master is hiding something from me!"

"That's too many to count." Ji Zhao didn't say anything this time saying you will understand sooner or later, because Zhu Sha was destined not to understand this matter.

"Ugh... You didn't even bother to comfort Cinnabar."

Ji Zhao smiled. Because Zhu Sha acted like a spoiled child too frequently, he was now somewhat immune to it.

"The red moon is coming...!"

At this moment, the exclamations of the people rang in his ears. Ji Zhao looked up and saw that a corner of the moon began to be eroded by scarlet... The Taoists in this world are really good at fortune-telling, the blood moon has really arrived!

Ji Zhao remembered that the red moon in his world was actually a special situation that occurred during a lunar eclipse. He had also seen a lunar eclipse once... He had almost forgotten the knowledge taught by his junior high school teacher after more than ten years, but it was nothing more than shooting this way and that way.

But the lunar eclipse that is happening in this world right now is a little different. The strange scarlet color is like blood pouring out from hell, with an extremely ominous aura, soaking the moon bit by bit...

In the small town, the previous peaceful and lively atmosphere disappeared without a trace. Many people's legs went weak and they knelt on the ground, chanting Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, longing for peace. This was definitely a huge ominous sign. If someone raised an army in this name at this time, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

【“…What’s going on?!”】

Ji Zhao realized something was wrong.

When the scarlet spread, Ji Zhao suddenly felt an uncontrollable murderous urge in his heart, wishing he could kill everything around him!

Just as he was trying his best to suppress this murderous intent, a unique feature suddenly appeared on his panel.

[Ji Zhao realizes 'Blood Moon Coming (temporary)']

[Blood Moon Descends (temporary)]: The scarlet blood moon descends upon the world, and the evildoers awaken from the human world...

During the descent of the blood moon which occurs once every 333 years, practitioners of the True Shining Red Moon and its derivative techniques (which must reach a certain strength) will gain a certain increase in the power of their inner breath based on their martial arts level. This increase can temporarily break through the limitations of the 'Absolute Volume: The Great Destruction of Heaven and Earth' and raise the martial artist's inner breath power to the absolute level.

If you have 'Blood Moon in the Sky', the hidden entry of Blood Moon in the Sky will be activated.

If you have 'True Blood of Eternal Night', the hidden entry of True Blood of Eternal Night will be activated.

If you hold 'Green Mountains Never Change', you 'can' hold this unique characteristic permanently, but the power of your internal energy will be raised to Absolute (Fake) at most.

If you possess the 'True Blood of Phoenix', the True Blood of Phoenix will become ineffective while this characteristic lasts.

(scarlet, destruction, death)

Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Moon and Snow: Chapter 116: Gu Qu's Father

(owing 60)

After seeing this unique feature, Ji Zhao's expression changed slightly.

He was too lazy to think about where this feature came from. There must be a special setting in the game. Now it seems that it should be related to the practitioners of the Red Moon, the holders of the Blood of Eternal Night, and the holders of the Blood Moon in the Sky. It doesn’t matter. It’s just a temporary buff, not a debuff.

But...increasing the power of internal energy may not necessarily be a good thing!

After being amplified by this unique characteristic, Ji Zhao's current internal energy power has directly reached "Absolute". Logically speaking, this ultimate realm can only be reached by practicing the Volume of Absolute: Destruction of Heaven and Earth to the extreme. It symbolizes the peak of destructive power in this world... but the price is heavy!

The 'absolute' level of internal energy naturally flowed through the meridians. It itself did not riot, but the extremely violent aura was really like magma that was about to riot. Ji Zhao felt that as long as he surged a little, it would completely erupt.

This internal energy flowed in Ji Zhao's poor quality meridians...with that burning sensation, Ji Zhao felt that it would not be strange even if he exploded in the next second!

The power of his own inner energy is at the level of Jia Shang, which sounds not much different from Jue, but after truly feeling it, Ji Zhao realized that the two are completely in not the same dimension. The gap between Jue and Jia Shang is greater than that between Jia Shang and Ding Xia!

But this is still not the point... As we all know, internal breath flows through the meridians and stimulates the meridian masters, which will cause changes in the emotions of the practitioner. However, different internal breaths using the same force to impact the same meridian master will bring about different emotional changes, which depends on the properties of the internal breath.

At this moment, the Red Moon's internal energy possessed an extremely powerful level of internal energy. When it naturally flowed through the meridians and impacted the meridian master, Ji Zhao's murderous intent suddenly surged for no reason!

The reason is simple: this inner energy is too overbearing, and the emotions it triggers are so strong that people cannot contain themselves at all!

Ji Zhao had never experienced this feeling before... Although Zhao Hongyue was a magic skill, its effect on emotions was not drastic. Because of its characteristics, the evil consequences would only become apparent when a devastating defeat occurred. Therefore, Ji Zhao's emotions were usually quite stable.

Ji Zhao usually saw other disciples occasionally losing control of their emotions, and in most cases he couldn't understand it. Although he knew that this happened, after all, he had never really experienced it... But now, he truly felt the murderous intent hovering in his heart!

There is no reason, it just appears suddenly and cannot be stopped!

[“This is the Absolute Scroll…?!”]

If this is the power of the Absolute Scroll, Ji Zhao simply couldn't imagine that anyone could master this kind of internal power!

"Master... Master?!" The surprised and doubtful voices of Fuzhe and Zhusha were heard at the side... Ji Zhao's hair started to turn dark red from the ends, and so did his pupils. A strange scarlet color permeated his eyes. The frequency, the speed, was exactly the same as the speed at which the moon turned red!

The people around also noticed the abnormality here, and they panicked and scattered in a panic - Ji Zhao looked too much like a so-called "evil spirit"!

"...I'm fine."

However, Ji Zhao is Ji Zhao after all. His willpower is unmatched by others. The murderous desire that can drive a person crazy enough to kill his wife and children is not enough to control him. He squeezed out these few words with a hoarse voice.

"Leave me alone..."

After he finished speaking, his body subconsciously mobilized his internal energy as usual.

boom--------!!!

A deafening sound erupted, and the terrifying air wave swept around like a hurricane, overturning the stage, blowing away the stalls, and Fuzhe and Zhusha, who were closest to the stage, could not stand at all. They were blown away and fell heavily to the ground!

If this terrifying internal energy were used against the enemy, even ten lives of Wu Ao would not be enough for Ji Zhao to kill him————but before that, this violent internal energy would tear Ji Zhao himself into pieces, as the quality of his meridians could not withstand this level of internal energy!

Ji couldn't take care of Fuzhe and Zhusha, so he tiptoed and left the town quickly.

[“No wonder Big Sister is always so irritable! No wonder Chu Jun is so crazy that he doesn’t even care about his own life…!”]

Ji Zhao truly felt it now. As the full moon in the sky grew brighter, his emotions became more and more violent... Fortunately, he had read a lot of classics from Luohe Pavilion and learned many secret methods to suppress emotions. Now he put them all into practice and managed to suppress the situation.

[“How long will the lunar eclipse last…?!”]

While Ji Zhao was waiting anxiously, he heard footsteps from the side. Ji Zhao looked subconsciously and saw a figure slowly walking out of the darkness.

【“Ancient music…?!”】

At first glance, Ji Zhao completely mistook the foreigner for Gu Qu, because the two looked so similar, but upon closer inspection, he could immediately find the difference.

This man was taller, almost 1.80 meters tall, had an Adam's apple, a more resolute look, and more masculine features in his face... It was obvious that he was a man.

"Eat it." The man flicked a pill with his fingers and spoke in a strange inversion, "If you believe in me and your Master Feng."

Ji Zhao reached out and took the pill.
