Dongzhen Technique is an advanced spell of Spiritual Eye Technique, and Wang Chen has already advanced this Zifu-level skill to the master level.
His perception silently expanded in all directions, covering all the surrounding villagers.
Although Shangyang Village is located in a remote location, the proportion of monks among the villagers in this village is quite high.
However, their cultivation levels are generally very low, mostly below the fourth level of Qi training.
Wang Chen was confident that as long as these villagers were contaminated with evil spirits, they would not be able to escape his insight!
The higher the cultivation level of evil cultivators, the easier it is for the evil power in the body to get out of control. Even if they can still maintain their sanity, they will tend to overflow and spread.
Therefore, if the villagers here have had contact with the target, they will definitely be contaminated with some evil spirits.
However, Wang Chen was disappointed that after observing for a while, he found nothing.
Could it be that Dongmingju’s information is inaccurate?
Wang Chen first ruled out this possibility - this was information that cost one hundred thousand spirit stones to exchange for!
The information is accurate, so it is possible that Zhou Senzhi is hiding very deep and has not had direct contact with the villagers here recently.
Or the villagers I had contact with are not here.
Another possibility is that this evil cultivator has some kind of secret method to hide his aura.
But no matter what the reason was, it brought a lot of trouble to Wang Chen.
Evil cultivators are different from demonic cultivators. Demonic cultivators can hide in the wilderness and deep mountains to cultivate. As long as they have enough resources, it is not a problem to survive for several years or more.
And evil cultivators have an instinctive and strong desire for "popularity". The more people around them, the better it is for cultivation.
Once they are separated from the human environment, they are like fish out of water and will quickly die from lack of oxygen!
However, big cities usually have magic circles or suppression devices to exorcise evil spirits. Low-level evil cultivators cannot survive and can only hide in villages and towns.
The trouble for Wang Chen is that even if he can be sure that Zhou Senzhi is in Shangyang Village, he cannot search house by house.
He had to quietly lock his target and then succeed with one strike.
Otherwise the mission will easily fail!
While Wang Chen was thinking, he was trading with the villagers, and there was no mistake in using both distractions.
At this moment, he suddenly felt like he was being watched.
Wang Chen glanced calmly and found that a hundred paces away to the left, several burly villagers were looking at him with their arms folded.
One of them had thatch in his mouth and his eyes flashed with a ruffian look on his face.
Wang Chen was a little disappointed.
These guys don't look like evil cultivators, they are probably the second-rate gangsters from Shangyang Village.
The same rice feeds all kinds of people. No matter how many hard-working and down-to-earth people there are in a village, there will always be a few lazy and vain ones.
He didn't care and gave the last piece of sweet-scented osmanthus rice candy to a villager.
"There's no more sweet-scented osmanthus candy."
Wang Chen said with a smile: "Everything has been replaced."
In fact, he still has a lot hidden in his storage bag, but he has just replaced the three boards, and taking them out again is a bit inconsistent with the character of a traveling businessman.
Travel merchants do small business and usually do not stock large quantities of goods.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, a child who had just arrived with a herb in his hand burst into tears.
Just a step too late, the sweet and delicious rice candy is gone!
Seeing his companions happily eating sweets, the sadness in his heart was like a river, and he cried like a 1.4-meter-old child.
Wang Chen sweated and said quickly: "Don't cry, I'll come back in a few days, so I'll leave you a copy."
Only then did the other party stop being sad: "Really?"
"of course it's true!"
Wang Chen vowed: "You keep the things first, and I promise to exchange them with you first."
The child sobbed and nodded: "Okay."
Seeing that things were almost exchanged, Wang Chen retreated decisively.
As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Wang Chen currently has enough time left, and he doesn't want to rush it.
When leaving, Wang Chen also accepted many villagers' entrustments.
This is also one of the businesses of travel merchants.
After leaving Shangyang Village, Wang Chen followed the map to a small town two hundred miles away.
He wandered around the city and stayed one night, then left the next day for another city farther away.
Four days later, Wang Chen came to Shangyang Village again.
This time many villagers already knew him.
Wang Chen fulfilled his promise and delivered some of the items entrusted by the villagers to purchase first.
Of course, he didn't forget to give the child rice candy.
There were more villagers coming to exchange things this time, and many of them were new to them last time.
However, Wang Chen used Dongzhen Technique and still didn't find anyone who had been exposed to evil cultivators!
This is a bit troublesome.
If he couldn't find the target, he would have no choice but to use the last resort, sneaking into the village at night to inspect each house.
With Wang Chen's current cultivation strength and the master-level hidden spirit technique, the possibility of being discovered is still very low.
But you may not be able to find the target just by observing outside. If the evil cultivator is hiding in the underground secret room, no matter how strong his Dongzhen Technique is, he will not be able to penetrate the thick soil.
After much deliberation, Wang Chen could only take one step at a time.
When the exchange was almost done, he withdrew the stall again and left.
Wang Chen can no longer use his identity as a traveling merchant for the time being, and the time between his next visits is too short, making it easy for people to doubt him.
But what Wang Chen didn't expect was that as soon as he left Shangyang Village on his way back, he was stopped on the road.
"My friend, do you understand the rules of doing business?"
The people blocking Wang Chen's path were surprisingly the same idle men he had met the first time he came to the village.
The leading village man had a fierce look on his back and a fierce look on his face, staring at Wang Chen like a wolf staring at a lamb.
The three men standing behind him dispersed in a tacit understanding, forming a surrounding posture.
These people are all at the third or fourth level of Qi training, and with the leader at the sixth level of Qi training, it is quite courageous to rob Wang Chen, a traveling merchant at the "seventh level of Qi training".
Obviously this isn't the first time such a thing has been done!
Wang Chen smiled: "What rules?"
A hint of greed flashed in the eyes of the burly man: "Of course it's the rule of our Shangyang Village. I let you go last time, but this time you have to keep it to pay for your travel expenses."
He opened his palm towards Wang Chen and said, "Fifty spirit stones, I will let you go today!"
Fifty spirit stones are not much.
But Wang Chen didn't want to give any of it: "But I don't want to let you go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Chen shot him with a body-holding technique.
The four villagers suddenly felt as if they had been struck by lightning, and their bodies became stiff and unable to move.
The next moment, they all fainted.
Wang Chen shook his hands and pulled out a scroll, and instantly unfolded a long painting, including all these villagers.
It’s the true form of Taixuan Mirage Dragon!
This treasure map can contain living animals, and the big green donkey has always been contained in it.
It can also recruit people.
Wang Chen's movements were extremely fast. The moment he put the person away, he shrunk to an inch and swept dozens of steps away.
