Volume 1 Past Stories of Qingluo Chapter 71 Strange Ritual
Li Changyue took a shower with pleasure, then went out to have a pleasant meeting with Deacon Du, Ling Yu and others at an elegant restaurant. The group of seven people talked and communicated for a while with great interest.
This time, Li Changyue did not deliberately hide his cultivation. The reason was that he found that every time he used the secret technique of hidden spirit, he would soon encounter the situation where he had to take full advantage. In addition, he did not have the cultivation level to be a hermit master, so he only suppressed some realms slightly, and did not let everyone see that his cultivation and strength have increased a little.
Despite this, Murong Ling and Luo Haisheng and others discovered some changes in Li Changyue's temperament, and their eyes showed a look of suspicion. Among them, Deacon Luo's expression was complicated. His eyes seemed to be about to slice Li Changyue into a slice, but Li Changyue found a greedy expression in his deeper eyes.
"What's the situation? Did this 'prodigal businessman' discovered the batch of medium-grade spirit stones and martial arts that Deacon Du and I got?"
Li Changyue turned his mind a little and observed Deacon Du's expression without any trace. He found nothing wrong. However, by chance, he saw Luo Haisheng also swept Deacon Du with the same gaze, which made Li Changyue roughly guess some reasons.
What puzzled Li Changyue was that his powerful spiritual thoughts accidentally discovered that Lu Xiaoyi, who usually looked elegant, used a very obscure spiritual thought to peek at Li Changyue with a very obscure spiritual thought, and even flashed an undetectable strange expression. Then, in the lively atmosphere of several people, Lu Xiaoyi glanced over Ling Yu unnaturally.
"Damn, how could this eldest sister of Xuanling Sect pay attention to me? If it weren't for the sharp divine thoughts, it would be hard to find that this girl had ulterior motives. Ling Yu, a simple little girl, wouldn't have been stabbed by someone!"
To be honest, although Li Changyue did not realize that this group of people had any covetousness towards him along the way, he intuitively found that no matter whether it was a senior member of the family like Murong Ling or a sect like Lu Xiaoyi, he had concealed a lot of information, so he was not prepared for these people.
Of course, Li Changyue considered that he had no big background or backing, so he could not be too deep. Especially when his own strength was still enough, it was best to let some people be discouraged and not easily get involved, otherwise unnecessary trouble would always follow. Who made the world full of so many variables?
"But sharing hardships but not happiness together. Many people are like this. They always reveal their ambitions and desires after the crisis passes!" Li Changyue sighed in his heart.
After the banquet ended, Li Changyue did not rush back, but found a deacon in Yueling Pavilion, which was Ye Shizhong, a burly middle-aged monk who had received them with Murong He before.
"Did you want some spices? It's easy to say. We have a lot of Anshen Xiang and Jingxin Xiang here. I wonder which one you want?"
The burly middle-aged man named Ye Shizhong heard that Li Changyue wanted to buy some burning incense. He was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Changyue with a strange look. He didn't quite understand that such a young monk in front of him would also value the role of purifying his body and mind. Generally speaking, in the experience of these people, young monks are often young and energetic, and do not pay much attention to polishing their state of mind. As a result, today I saw an alternative.
"Oh, Brother Ye Dao, there are actually entry-level spiritual incenses like Anshenxiang in the Yueling Pavilion. This is really beyond my expectations!" Li Changyue heard that there were a lot of spices here, and was surprised. "When I was low in cultivation, I saw Deacon Luo use Anshenxiang once. To be honest, the effect of calming the mind and stabilizing the true energy was still fresh in my memory!"
Li Changyue heard that there were many spiritual fragrances here, and felt that this was a bit magical, because he had not found decent spiritual fragrances in a prosperous city like Luofeng before. Many markets or shopping malls could not buy the spiritual fragrances of Deacon Luo that he asked for at that time. Now he was actually found in such a remote market, which is indeed a little confused.
Ye Shizhong waved his hand and smiled bitterly when he heard Li Changyue's words: "Brother Li misunderstood. There are indeed spiritual fragrances here, but at most they are limited to low-grade ones. They are not the same as the spiritual fragrances in Deacon Luo's hands?"
"Then why do you want to be the Anshen incense to the outside world? As far as I know, this incense belongs to the first-class first-class, even the Jingxin incense belongs to the first-class middle-class first-class!" Li Changyue looked at the slightly honest Ye Shizhong in front of him with a suspicious look. He felt a little furious, and then he tried word by word, "You shouldn't be because most of the here are casual cultivators, so you just mix the fish eyes with a bead..."
When Ye Shizhong saw Li Changyue's expression and what he was about to say, he quickly stopped and immediately explained: "No, no, we are at least the branch of the Huoyangcheng Family Alliance Chamber of Commerce, how can we do such a thing!"
Then he saw Li Changyue not very understanding, cleared his throat and continued: "Brother Li may not know the situation of some practice products, such as the Anshen Xiang, which is generally of first-class quality or above, but the raw materials for this fragrance are too rare, so many people settle for the second best to make many ordinary incense materials with similar effects. The effect is not obvious, but the quantity and price can meet the needs!"
"So, they might as well use these ordinary incense materials as a way to calm the god incense, but this may not be of much use to the Qi Refining Cultivator!"
"There are still some uses. In fact, when these incenses are sold, they will tell the buyers that most of the people who buy this incense are warriors in the body-building stage, and some are used to burn incense and sacrifice, so it is quite good."
Seeing that what he said was not fake, Li Changyue casually looked at the other people in Yueling Pavilion, then pulled Ye Shizhong's arm with one hand and walked towards the place where no one was: "Well, Brother Ye, have you Yueling Pavilion hidden anything in this spiritual incense? If so, there is no shortage of spirit stones for the time being!"
"This one isn't there!"
"I think that Deacon Murong He has reached the late stage of Qi Refining Realm, so he should also have the best-quality Anshen Xiang!"
Ye Shizhong shook his head when he heard this: "Generally, most monks need to calm their minds and calm their minds when practicing, and they just need to use the Qingxin Pill or the Jingxin Pill. Why use this spiritual fragrance?"
"Brother Ye doesn't know. As far as I know, although elixirs also have such effects, they ultimately rely on the reaction of medicinal power or urging the true energy to stimulate the body to produce effects. It is essentially different from the means of fragrance that carries divine thoughts and souls!" Li Changyue saw that Ye Shizhong was relatively in line with it and explained patiently.
"It turns out to be like this. Thank you very much. I have never studied this. I only know that I should not take too many elixirs for improving my cultivation or breaking through the situation, otherwise it will have many side effects!"
Ye Shizhong and Li Changyue had a while, and during this period, he bought some pretty good spiritual fragrances and a book related to weapon refining with a book. Finally, he left with an excited expression. Needless to say, he learned some experience secrets in Li Changyue, and seemed to be in a hurry to verify it.
Li Changyue looked at Ye Shizhong's departure back, stretched out his muscles and shrugged: "This monk from the Ye family gives people a good impression. From Ye Zhenzhou in Luofeng to Ye Xinghe, to this Ye Shizhong, he gives himself a good impression and it is worth giving it to!"
Returning to his courtyard, he opened the surrounding protective formation again. In addition, Li Changyue set up a formation plate he secretly collected around the house where he was preparing to retreat for a short time, and added a formation to the original formation to prevent him from being disturbed by the outside world at the critical moment of his cultivation, especially those with ulterior motives.
After doing all this, Li Changyue set up a table in a wide room, placed an exquisite and quaint incense burner on the table, and placed two plates on both sides, and neatly placed five odd fruits on the plates.
That's not all. Li Changyue put a peach wood sword next to the table, and then tied a magic rope on the hilt of the peach wood sword. In addition, he also used his own method to create dozens of talismans for exorcising evil and calming the spirit with complex patterns.
When everything was finished, Li Changyue lit a stick of incense stick in front of the incense table, and then began to hold a peach wood sword in his hand to make a gesture. It looked a little like a great dancer. In the end, he did not use any power of true energy, and saw that the surrounding air seemed to be gradually filled with a mysterious charm.
At this time, Li Changyue seemed to feel something, and no longer continued to gesture, but put down the peach wood sword and pointed forward. He saw that the stack of talismans placed in front of the incense table began to automatically turn slowly and quickly along the surroundings of the room.
Then, Li Changyue made a gesture above his chest, muttering something slightly in his mouth. It is unknown whether it is the Bible in vernacular or the Taoist scriptures in classical Chinese. He only saw a ray of light flashing across the surrounding talismans, dissipating in the air. The entire room seemed to have a layer of transparent gauze arranged on the outer edge of the room.
If someone is here, he will be stunned when he sees Li Changyue's behavior. Those who don't understand think that Li Changyue is going to do a ritual. However, there is no strange scene during this strange ritual. The only difference is that during the Li Changyue's ceremony, it seems that the aura in the room has been completely renewed, quiet and mysterious.
After all the operations were completed, Li Changyue took out a string of rosary from his arms with a calm expression, then slowly sat down on a futon in front of Xiangkong, crossed his legs, narrowed his eyes naturally, and then began to meditate.
In less than a moment, a mysterious void vortex seemed to be produced in the void around Li Changyue. The vortex slowly rotated, like a reduced version of a nebula. The nebula became lighter and lighter from bottom to top, and the top seemed to be connected to the endless void. Overall, it looked like a majestic mountain like a pyramid.
