201, Substitute Rune! Violent Clear Snow!(1/4)
【A big chapter with 10,000 words!】
To be honest, since Shen Lang first came into contact with Mu Qingxue, a third-level master, and then successively came into contact with First-level Master Liuli, Yan Tianying, and Zhenren Wanfa, his horizons were raised too high without even realizing it.
So much so that his understanding of his own strength is inevitably a little too low - although my brother is a practitioner of both magic and martial arts, his magic is only at the sixth level, and his martial arts is only at the sixth level. They are still far away from the fourth level, and their levels are too high.
It’s too low!
But in fact, with his comprehensive strength in magic and martial arts, even if he is not a little demon, he is already a strong man who is not afraid of ordinary fourth-level warriors.
Counting the little demon, even a fourth-grade accomplished warrior can fight him.
This kind of strength, in the Divine Catcher Hall, is already considered to be the first echelon below the three third-level Divine Catchers such as Yan Tianying, Wanfa Zhenren, and Mu Qingxue.
"I chose to send you, Xiao Shen, to participate in this investigation. First, because you are familiar with Xiao Mu and have experience in cooperating with investigations. You should be able to cooperate with each other this time. Second, because, Xiao Shen, you have extensive experience in undercover investigations.
Experience, I have full confidence in you in this regard."
"Master Yan, you mean that I am also working as an undercover agent this time?"
"That's right. When Xiaomu disguised himself to save someone and pretended to be captured by mistake, he used secret techniques to find out the true identities of the three kidnappers. During the interrogation, he sent their appearance back. The identity and whereabouts of one of them are known.
Make sure, you go there tonight, use the 'All Living Beings' spell to disguise himself, wait for the opportunity, and break into the kidnapper's lair."
With that said, Yan Tianying handed another portrait to Shen Lang.
When Shen Lang was looking at the portrait, Yan Tianying introduced:
"This man's name is Shen Sanlang. He is twenty-eight years old. He is from Gufeng Prefecture. He lives near the south gate of the outer city of Gufeng Prefecture and runs a noodle shop.
"He is a native of Gufeng. His ancestors have lived in Gufeng Mansion for three generations, and the noodle shop is also a time-honored restaurant. He has a strong family and is willing to give charity. He often gives rice, porridge and steamed buns to homeless beggars...
"In general, on the surface, this man is a good old man. No one even knows that he knows martial arts and has an entry-level fourth-grade cultivation level."
In the portrait, Shen Sanlang has a round face and big earlobes. He looks like a fat and doughy Maitreya Buddha. He looks like a kind-hearted and kind-hearted man.
Just by looking at his face, you really can't tell that he is a member of a kidnapping group that specializes in kidnapping heroines.
"It's actually my family..."
Shen Lang muttered, unfolded the map of Dachu in his mind, quickly located the location of Gu Feng Mansion, and asked:
"Gu Feng Mansion is more than two thousand miles away. Even if Shen Sanlang's face is quite special, if there is no background, no one would even know that he knows martial arts. How can the people of Yi Shen Catching Hall rely on only one portrait?
, so you found him in a short time?”
Yan Tianying smiled:
"I would like to ask Venerable Liuli to take action. Search for the portrait using 'Celestial Eyes' and 'Destiny'."
"Isn't it true that those above the third level of Buddhism are not allowed to interfere with worldly affairs?"
"Since there is an aura of evil spirits, we can reasonably suspect that it is related to the 'Yunding Demon Palace'. This is not a simple secular matter. I can still ask Venerable Liuli to take action in person. Even if the two real people of the royal family know about it,
I have nothing to say."
"Your Excellency asked me to replace that Shen Sanlang tonight, but it's more than two thousand miles away...how should I get there?"
If we take the jade plate flying machine of Master Wanfa, will the target be too big?
Yan Tianying said: "I asked Venerable Liuli for a 'divine walking talisman'."
He took out a jade talisman engraved with the image of Liuli Bodhisattva, "Venus Liuli personally blessed a 'Divine Foot Power', which must be used within twelve hours and can only be used once. However, the limit of the mind's reach is three thousand miles."
Inside, everything is accessible.”
Shen Lang took the pale purple jade talisman and felt that the jade talisman was warm to the touch. It felt exactly the same as his exorcism seal refined from "thousand-year chalcedony". He couldn't help but said in surprise:
"This talisman is also made of thousand-year-old chalcedony?"
Yan Tianying nodded:
"If it weren't for thousands of years of chalcedony, it wouldn't be enough to carry Venerable Liuli's magical power. You don't have to feel sorry. This is just a little leftover after refining the jade seal for exorcism that day. For Venerable Liuli,
, it’s considered waste utilization.”
After a pause, he said solemnly:
"After arriving at Gu Feng Mansion, you have to rely on yourself to adapt to all actions. We must keep an eye on other suspected Da Zhenren and not act rashly. But you can also rest assured that with us watching, there will be no Da Zhenren behind the scenes.
Opportunity to take action myself.”
Shen Lang nodded in agreement, but couldn't help but ask:
"Mother Mu, she... won't be in danger now, right?"
Yan Tianying smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I personally taught Xiaomu Tiangang's fighting spirit. I know best what she is capable of. Besides, she is traveling far away. You don't think that I didn't give her a life-saving treasure, do you?"
Shen Lang thought about it. Mu Qingxue was less than twenty-two years old and already had a third-level cultivation. Masters in the Divine Catching Hall were scarce. For a peerless genius like Mu Qingxue with excellent character and noble heart, Yan Tianying would not be able to do anything.
It cannot be valued enough.
Isn't it different that Shen Lang is highly valued by Yan Tianying because of his youthful chivalry and amazing talent?
Then he bowed his hands to Yan Tianying:
"My subordinates have no doubts. I wonder when we will start taking action?"
Yan Tianying waved his hand:
"Don't worry, it's dinner time now. Shen Sanlang's noodle shop should be busy. You have to wait for more than an hour. After you go to the noodle shop to do business, you can go find him. In addition, Master Wanfa is refining amulets for you.
It will still take a while to finish. You can have a meal here and wait for a while."
Hearing this, Shen Lang suddenly remembered something:
"Master Yan, I don't know how to make noodles. If I take over Shen Sanlang's place to open a noodle shop, will it reveal my secret?"
Yan Tianying smiled confidently:
"Don't worry, we have thought of this a long time ago. The amulet refined by Master Wanfa is prepared for this. Okay, let's go to the dining hall to eat first, then rest for a while, and wait for Master Wanfa to send the amulet."
"Master Yan, wait a minute, I have a gift for you."
Saying this, Yan Tianying quickly walked out of the door without waiting for a response, and soon walked in with a large pottery basin in his arms.
Seeing a five-foot-tall sapling growing in the big pottery pot, Yan Tianying smiled and said:
"You want to give me a potted plant? Xiao Shen, I really dare to accept this gift from you..."
Just as he said this, he suddenly smelled an alluring fragrance, which made him salivate. Surprised, Yan Tianying concentrated his eyes and took a closer look, and found that the bark of the sapling had faint scaly lines.
Yan Tianying's heart moved, he raised his right hand, and a little white light burst out from his fingertips, illuminating the entire room.
Under the illumination of white light, the scaly texture on the bark of the small sapling became more conspicuous, and even reflected the gorgeous crystal light, making it look like it was covered with a layer of crystal scales.
Look at those branches again. At the end of each horizontal branch, there are five branches. There are five branches of different lengths that bend upward. Excluding the leaves and just looking at the branches, it looks vaguely like five fingers pointing to the sky.
Gripping dragon claws.
Yan Tianying was suddenly shocked:
"Ichthyosaur wood?"
Shen Lang smiled and praised:
"Master Yan has good eyesight. This fish and dragon sapling is exactly the gift I want to give to Master Yan and Master Wanfa to thank you for your help in the Spider Mother Incident and my entry into the Taoist Academy for further study."
Yan Tianying frowned and said:
"Xiao Shen, do you know how precious the Yumu Dragon is? Warriors, monks, even humans and demons can use the Yumu Dragon to practice. The elixir made from the Yumu Dragon as the main material is very effective for a first-class real person.
, it is useful for all great masters. It is also a top-quality spiritual material when used to refine weapons.
"Because it has such a wide range of applications, during the last years of the previous dynasty when all the heroes were fighting for hegemony, this spiritual tree was all cut down and disappeared from the world. Today, only two great masters of the royal family have two pieces of ichthyosaurs collected from the founding of the country to the present.
Aniseed wood. Xiao Shen, please give me a live tree now..."
"Master Yan, please listen to me first."
Shen Lang interrupted Yan Tianying:
"I am really not bribing Shangguan. I am giving you and Master Wanfa this small sapling. Firstly, I am grateful for the help you and Master Wanfa have given me. Secondly, I also have something to ask for. Of course, I am not begging you to do it for my own selfish reasons. It is just
I would like to ask Master Wanfa to help me refine a spiritual elixir."
He took out the prescription of "Fish Dragon Pill" and placed it on Yan Tianying's table:
"This kind of elixir, in addition to the main medicine of Ichthyosaurus, also needs several other kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures as auxiliary medicines. I don't have other kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, so I can only ask for the help of Wanfa Zhenren
I've got it all.
"So you see, my Ichthyosaurus tree sapling is just an exchange for those precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as asking Master Wanfa to help me refine elixirs. I didn't ask you to bend the law for me. This is always
Can’t it be considered a bribe?”
Yan Tianying picked up the elixir recipe and took a look at it. He saw that the several auxiliary medicines listed on the elixir recipe were considered treasures, but their value could not be compared with that of a living Ichthyosaur tree sapling.
Even if the reward from Master Wanfa is included, this Ichthyosaurus tree sapling is really too precious.
When he was hesitating, Shen Lang said again:
"Master Yan, I have this fish dragon tree in my hand. Apart from chewing the leaves, I really can't fully exert its spiritual effect. It's really a waste. Only in the hands of a great master like Wanfa Zhenren who is good at refining elixirs and refining weapons.
