With a smile on his face, Liu Qiao was escorted out of the city by the Bian family and his son. He held his fists and said goodbye, his sleeves flying, and he left in the form of a rainbow.
The Bian family father and son finally agreed to exchange for Taoism, but instead of exchanging ancestral magic weapons, they gave him a wooden box, which contained a book of animal skin atlases, which were the ritual techniques for the Ghost White Bone Flag.
An ancestral treasure, even if it is a worthless urinal, is more or less a reminder of the ancestors, not to mention that the ancestors personally sacrificed and refined it, followed the Yellow Emperor to conquer Chiyou, and established the prestigious ancestral magic weapon. Liu refused to part with the genuine article.
The woodcutter can also understand.
After being able to obtain this magic weapon map, as long as he practices it according to the formula, he can always make his own magic weapon. Even if the power is less than one-tenth of the original, Liu Qiao is quite satisfied.
What's more, treasures, no matter how good they are, are made by others. In the past years, they have already left deep traces of their previous owners.
It will always feel awkward when others use it, just like a second-hand car. Although the person is gone, her smell is still in the car.
It's not like refining it from scratch at home, every inch of it is done with your own hands. It's as familiar as your own body. It's easy to refine it to the point where the soul and spirit are unified, and your thoughts can be unleashed, and you can wield it like your arms.
What is extra is nothing more than magical objects, materials, and refining time. As long as the materials can keep up, it is not impossible for the refining to surpass the original genuine product.
However, since the Bian family did not exchange the real thing, but only took out the magic weapon map in exchange, Liu Qiao certainly did not pass on all what he had learned to Bian Ji, but allowed Bian Ji to choose two Taoist techniques at his own choice.
Bian Ji originally wanted to learn the art of divination and the talisman of transforming into a divine general, but under the strong interference of his father Bian Jinlong, he finally chose the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Yellow Turban Warrior.
Liu Qiao couldn't help but sigh, in the end, ginger is still hotter. To deduce divination requires profound spiritual skills. Even Liu Qiao himself is confused now. Bian Ji still doesn't know the nature of law, so it is useless to choose this.
As for the talisman, although it seems to be majestic and magical, it is just a "temporary attack under the guise of ghosts". To put it bluntly, it is an illusion. If you learn it and disappear into the world, you will be like Yu Ji. Human immortals like Zuo Ci are okay, but they cannot fight.
In fact, it's not much use.
What's more, the Bian family actually has this talisman inheritance, but its function is relatively simple, and it is the most ancient talisman. It is written in insect urns. Perhaps it is derogatory to call it talisman. It is more appropriate to call it witchcraft. It is passed down from the distant ancestors of the Bian family.
Although this kind of witchcraft is simple and superficial, it is a brutal method of holding a knife in the hair, piercing the tongue with a sharp blade, bleeding and drawing talismans, but it is the predecessor of Taoist talismans. It can be regarded as the original version of the talisman. It itself contains profound principles, so Bian Jinlong naturally despises it.
Liu Qiao’s Taoist Talismans.
Bian Jinlong had a sharp eye and picked out Liu Qiao's two most important Taoist techniques at a glance, not to mention the Five Elements Escape Technique.
If the Yellow Turban Warriors are used well, they can also perform many wonderful skills, such as moving food and grass, secretly setting fire to enemy camps, remote surveillance, etc.
Liu Qiao only taught two Taoist techniques, but he did not dare to teach the basic technique of Yuxu Qi refining without authorization. Just kidding, he had sworn an oath before the ancestor altar.
He sold two Taoist arts that even many casual people knew well. If he sold the fundamental true teaching of becoming an immortal, Liu Qiao was really afraid that a sudden "thunder from heaven" would kill him.
The Yellow Turban Warrior is a spell and does not require mana. As for how Bian Ji, who has no basic mana, uses the Five Elements Taoism, there is actually a method, which is to collect the energy of heaven and earth.
Exhale and collect Qi in the mist valley on the cliff. If you collect a wisp of water vapor, you can perform water escape. The same goes for the other four escapes. However, this method is very slow.
Moreover, external qi cannot remain in the human body for a long time, otherwise it will be very harmful to people. Therefore, every time the Five Elements Taoism is used, the qi must be collected several days in advance, and it must be used up quickly, otherwise diseases, rheumatism, and convulsions will occur.
Cramps, etc.
Liu Qiao also very conscientiously gave instructions on the place, time, taboos, etc. for collecting Qi.
This time when he went out to look for treasures, Liu Qiao actually made some preparations.
It is estimated that it will take several months or half a year to find a skillful weapon and practice it for another year and a half. By then, it will be just in time for the four-year appointment when King Wen of Weishui recruits Ziya.
Now, although I didn't get the magic weapon, I have the ritual map, and the purpose of this trip can be considered accomplished.
The whole process only took two days, but time was tight, and he still had to find materials, etc. Liu Qiao did not dare to waste time to find other magic weapons. He just wanted to go back to the mountain as soon as possible to study the map and practice the sacred flag.
This journey was so fast that hundreds of miles passed in the blink of an eye.
Just as we were about to pass Dengzhou, suddenly a line of black smoke rose up in front of us, rising into the sky and blocking the road.
Liu Qiao didn't have time to take a closer look and hurriedly dodged the light. Suddenly, he heard a "squeaking" sound of wind, and a black cloud accompanied by crying and howling sounds was flying towards this direction.
"That person who is practicing Five Elements Taoism, don't block the road..." A hoarse shout came from the black smoke.
Liu Qiao paused and looked at the clouds from a few miles away, but he saw a Taoist man wearing a bamboo hat and a green shirt with a long beard on his horse face and three hairy spots on his left cheek coming from the wind.
The black smoke covered the sky and covered the ground, and the smell was so fishy that it made me sick. There was a cry inside, like the groans of hell. After a closer look, I realized that there were hundreds of boys and girls, rolled up several feet above the ground by the black smoke, crying in confusion.
"Fellow Taoist, even if you want to practice magic, burn pills, and seduce a few vicious mortals, you have to do it with hundreds of people at once, and they are all babies. This...is a bit too much."
Although the leftists are cruel and often use people to refine and burn elixirs, they always transform into handsome men and beautiful women to lure greedy and evil people, or use gold and silver to induce them, and they only get people who are greedy, jealous, unfilial, unchaste and other extremely evil people.
It’s hard for the wise men and strangers passing by to say anything. After all, they are acting on behalf of heaven and have their own reasons.
Just like Grandma Shu in A Chinese Ghost Story, she pays attention to the harmony of heaven and earth. If you have a little righteousness in your heart, are not tempted by beauty, and do not take ill-gotten gains, you will generally be fine. If you are a bad person, it will be considered as retribution.
, so even the passing gods won’t pay too much attention.
Even if the demon eats people unreasonably, it only eats some in their prime. They are ignorant babies whose wisdom has not yet been awakened and they have no spiritual light. Apart from taking a mouthful of innate Qi that has not been dissipated, eating it is really useless and will harm the peace of the world. It is like a hunter who goes into the mountains to hunt, but always returns.
He would show mercy to the young beasts.
It is rare for a Taoist like this to capture hundreds of babies at once. Judging from the number of his Yunguang Road, it is obvious that he does not go up the mountain to teach the Dharma and recruit disciples. It is very likely that he will either sacrifice the treasures of the side sect or use them to refine elixirs.
This is no longer within the retribution scope of "there is a god at the top of your head", it is simply more vicious than a demon.
Even those Jiejiao demons in the legends of Yuxu Immortal Book, who are violent and crazy, and enjoy eating hearts and drinking blood, are not so unruly.
If it was a villain seduced by the transformation, Liu Qiao was anxious to refine the treasure and didn't want to worry about it. However, he couldn't bear to take it by force and at the door of Jinshishan's house, so he paused and shouted.
"If you want to meddle in other people's business, let's see if you have the power..."
When the Zuo Dao heard this, he threw the rolled-up baby to the ground, let out a strange scream, pulled out a staff with a skull on top, was as thick as an goose egg, and was black, and struck through the clouds.
Since Liu Qiao was ready to take care of this matter, he guarded against him making a move. He immediately showed a fierce look on his face, opened his sword, and came to meet him face to face.
"Zheng..." As the weapons clashed, there was a crisp sound, and a huge force suddenly hit him like a mountain of tai, making Liu Qiao almost lose his grip on the sword.
It was difficult to rely on strength in the air, so he was sent flying dozens of feet by the evil rod. In just one round, Liu Qiao was at a disadvantage.
"Ah haha... I can't help but fight..." Seeing this, the demon said proudly, raising a cloud of light and wielding an iron staff to kill.
This iron rod, when held in the hand, is as light as a feather. When it is swung, it makes a "whirring" sound, bringing up gusts of evil wind. When it hits it, it weighs as much as a thousand pounds, which is really powerful.
Liu Qiao didn't dare to take a hard hit, he followed the sword with his body, used quick escape techniques, slashed up and down, used offense instead of defense, dodged and moved, and walked away with one blow.
After dozens of rounds, Liu Qiao relied solely on his sharp escaping skills. Every time the Demonic Dance Staff hit him, he managed to escape in a blink of an eye. When he had a chance to accumulate strength, he slashed with his sword again.
“Ah…cowardly fellows…it makes me angry…”
Seeing that Liu Qiao did not dare to get involved and was only fighting with a rogue style, the evil spirit became so angry that he shouted wildly and swung his staff vigorously. He simply stopped defending and showed a desperate posture.
But he planned to fight Liu Qiao's sword and beat him to a pulp with a stick.
"Afraid of you, do you think I don't dare to risk my life?"
Although he said this, Liu Qiao became more and more cautious. Seeing that the demon was making powerful and heavy moves, opening and closing, he wanted to exchange his life for his life, and he did not dare to go forward to fight. He only relied on the wonderful Five Elements Escape Technique to appear and appear at will.
Wandering in the clouds and making sneak attacks.
Liu Qiao had been fighting like this for who knows how long, and his physical strength was rapidly exhausted as he circled around and was sweating profusely.
The Demon Dao struck down every stick with all his strength. Although the clouds and fog dispersed in the sky and the iron staff stirred up sand and rocks, it didn't hit even once. On the contrary, he was panting from exhaustion.
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a loud shout suddenly came from the horizon: "Don't hurt my master by throwing Tao, someone is coming..."
