Although he could not recall at all what happened when he "fell asleep" just now, the large amount of physical energy and energy consumed in his body proved that everything was not simple.
Something must have happened after he fell asleep inexplicably.
Afterwards, he immediately used his mind to communicate with the Jade of Reincarnation, and his attention was quickly attracted by the merit record.
Merits: one good deed, four merits and four gains
The merit record was increased by nine points without his "knowledge".
He took a deep breath, and combined with the ever-approaching sense of crisis he felt before, he understood that he had encountered a very strange event, perhaps related to some evil spirit.
However, after all, he experienced countless storms and quickly calmed down and thought calmly.
"I can't remember anything that happened after I fell asleep, but the Yuan Qi in my body was violently consumed. Is it because some kind of evil spirit has absorbed the Yuan Qi in my body? It's not like that. Although my body is very weak, my spiritual will has not weakened. I want to
Seal my consciousness. The strength of this evil spirit is not low, at least it is not weak in nature. I am afraid it has reached the level of A or above. If it directly absorbs Yuan Qi, this body will probably not survive. Moreover, the merits will increase.
It doesn’t make sense.”
"It is impossible to increase merit in vain. That is to say, during the period of time when I fell asleep, I eliminated the hidden dangers related to foreign sources, but there were no traces of fighting in my room, and my body did not even move."
Zhao Xuanqi thought quietly and summarized the clues he encountered so far.
When you fall asleep and lose consciousness, your memory is lost, but your merits increase.
This shows that he had taken actions during the period when his memory was lost.
Then, there is only one possibility.
Dream.
"Being dragged into a weird 'dream'? Maybe it's not a dream, but a weirder state, where I can gain merit and at the same time consume Yuan Qi. In other words, if I have an accident there,
I’m afraid there will be corresponding changes in reality.”
"What on earth is it?"
Zhao Xuanqi frowned and had some guesses in his mind.
If it were an ordinary practitioner, even if he survived the craze of the Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts, it would be difficult to deduce so many things after losing the memory of being in a ghost town. At most, he would just think that he had encountered something secret.
The evil spirit of sucking in Yuan Qi.
But Zhao Xuanqi is different. He has a special spirit, which is far superior to practitioners of the same realm. He also possesses the Jade of Reincarnation and can check the clues left on the records of merit. Even if he loses his memory, he can still get a lot of information.
"After I woke up, did the evil spirits stop attacking me?"
He thought for a while, regained his composure, and improved his intuition.
Suddenly, he felt an extremely subtle sense of danger. He concentrated on it for nearly a quarter of an hour and found that as time went by, this sense of danger seemed to be slowly increasing and becoming more obvious.
"The matter has not been resolved yet. After a certain period, the same thing will happen again."
Zhao Xuanqi opened his eyes and came to a conclusion.
This kind of weird thing has exceeded his cognition. He is thinking about whether it is necessary to disclose this matter to the top officials of the True Heart Sect. …
But he soon gave up this idea.
There are many peculiarities about him that cannot withstand careful investigation, and it may become even more troublesome by then.
"Since I can survive, it means that the evil spirit has not yet threatened my life. Well, it is not clear whether this evil spirit incident is a single person incident or a multi-person incident, but with such an essential person, it should be impossible
It only works for me alone. If it is a multi-person incident, then I can get some information by making insinuations."
"This time I am prepared. Maybe I can use other methods to overcome the memory shield and leave information related to the evil spirit. If I can't solve it alone, I can pass the information about this incident to the Red Heart Faction through other channels.
.Moreover, with my current strength that has not yet reached the peak of Henglian, I have actually accumulated nine merit points in a short period of time, which is such an efficiency."
Soon, Zhao Xuanqi made a decision in his heart.
Inquire about the incident and prepare for the next possible crisis.
"It is necessary to further accelerate the improvement of strength, even if it will produce a large amount of useless consumption of life energy, we will not hesitate."
"Moreover, not only the foundation of strength, but also the means of fighting enemies need to be enriched. A mere basic blood talisman may not be enough."
Zhao Xuanqi pondered in his heart.
Originally, he was planning to gradually improve his status in the Chixin Sect so as to obtain more secret information and save the consumption of merit.
But it seemed that obtaining merit in this world was easier than imagined, and the more he understood, the more he realized that the situation in this world was bad and did not give him much room for stability and improvement, so he changed his attitude.
He closed his eyes slightly, used the jade of reincarnation to communicate with the way of heaven, and called out the information on the technique.
Many top-level secret messages were shrouded in a layer of fog, and Tianji was deceived by some kind of power. The merit required to break the secret was something he could not bear now.
There is only one top-level inheritance that has not been deceived by heaven's secrets, and that is the top-level secret inheritance of the Spiritual Official Way to which the Chixin Sect belongs.
Great Spirit Official Records.
The number of merit points required to redeem the entire secret book is one. Zhao Xuanqi has never seen this number before, and he doesn't know how many people are in front of Yishan. But fortunately, this secret book can be divided into different parts to redeem the contents.
As for the basic chapter, the merit required for redemption is still within his tolerance.
The entire esoteric tradition is divided into two parts.
One part is "Lingguan Gonglu", which records the exercises that enhance the essential realm of the body, like Zhengyuan Gong, just like the Zhuang Gong training method in the secret tradition of martial arts.
One part, called "Secret Symbols of Taoist Talisman", records the various magic systems of Lingguan Tao, such as the Blood Qi Talisman, such as the energy-generating techniques and fighting styles in martial arts, which are a reflection of one's own strength.
How to use it.
Zhao Xuanqi thought for a moment and concluded that improving the physical realm could also be achieved with the Hundred Beasts Fist, and from the current point of view, the effect seemed to be no worse than Zhengyuan Gong. What he lacked even more was the magical means to fight against the enemy.
Therefore, he focused his consciousness on the "Secret Symbol of Taoist Talisman" and found that the secret image of Taoist Talisman was also divided into two parts. …
The method of magic under the innate realm is called "the art of Jinhuo Tianding".
It is divided into three parts in total, corresponding to the three realms below the innate world.
The first part corresponds to the Zhuangxue realm. If you exchange it alone, you need the merit points of the three skills.
"Just the attack technique in the blood-strengthening realm requires the merits of three whole skills."
Zhao Xuanqi couldn't help but sigh. In the world of divine generals in his previous life, one meritorious deed was enough to exchange for a top-notch secret like Shilong's Secret Technique. The gap between the two worlds was indeed huge. If he used it indiscriminately, he would lose everything he accumulated in his previous life.
That little merit is not enough to consume.
"However, in just one night, I gained nearly one meritorious service."
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuanqi looked calm, no longer hesitated, and conveyed his willingness to exchange with the Jade of Reincarnation.
Buzz!!
The Jade of Reincarnation vibrated, and the numbers on the merit record trembled violently. Some kind of strange power was extracted by this side of heaven, the deal was concluded, and a large amount of information was translated by the Jade of Reincarnation and passed into Zhao Xuanqi's mind.
Time flies, and soon the sky is bright and the hour has arrived.
Zhao Xuanqi finished his night of practice, opened his eyes, and frowned slightly.
"I am busy with schoolwork and tasks. For me, the time for practice is still too short. If I can devote twenty-four hours a day to practice, the recovery speed of my strength will not stop there."
Zhao Xuanqi shook his head. He didn't care much before. After all, the homework and tasks themselves were also a process of understanding the world. But now that he is facing a crisis, time seems to be insufficient.
"If possible, let's see if we can take a few days off."
Zhao Xuanqi stood up. No matter what, he still had a mission today. After all, he also wanted to see if he could get some news related to last night's incident.
After leaving the room, he, Peng Lin, and Shen Hong met up and went to Dianmao to meet Chen Zhanyun and begin today's mission.
During this period, he carefully observed the situation of Peng Lin and Shen Hong, and made some insinuations to make sure that the two of them did not experience the same weird thing as him last night.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at Dianmao and met Chen Zhanyun.
In addition, there are many senior brothers and sisters from the Zhuangxue Realm gathered here, preparing to start the task of eliminating troubles assigned by the sect.
However, there seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere at the scene.
The senior brothers and sisters gathered in small groups and seemed to be discussing something in low voices.
Zhao Xuanqi raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.
"Senior Brother Chen, what happened?"
After meeting Chen Zhanyun, Shen Hong took the first step and asked the question that Zhao Xuanqi wanted to ask.
"Something happened last night."
Chen Zhanyun's face was a little solemn, and after a short pause he said: "Last night, a senior brother named Zhong Maolin suddenly fainted during the night patrol. After he was sent to the hospital, the source of the problem could not be found. After about two
Hours later, the body of the unconscious Senior Brother Zhong suddenly underwent an evil transformation, and he seemed to be eroded by evil spirits, and began to attack the people around him. After the evil spirits were resolved, Senior Brother Zhong died, and his body shriveled up, as if all his energy had been taken away."
"In addition, several Zhuangxue Realm disciples died, most of them were in the resident room. Something evil suddenly happened in the middle of the night, causing quite a commotion in the resident. Our
The station is some distance away from you, so it's normal that you didn't notice it. After the evil change was resolved, these people also died in the same way as Senior Brother Zhong. This matter was very evil, and it spread around the morning.
Everyone is talking about it now.”…
After listening to Chen Zhanyun's narration, both Peng Lin and Shen Hong looked a little ugly, only Zhao Xuanqi's eyes flashed with light.
He was almost certain that these dead Zhuangxue Realm disciples probably encountered similar things to him, but they were unable to withstand the terror of evil and lost their lives.
This is a large-scale evil incident with a wide impact.
"Brother, do you have any clues?"
Zhao Xuanqi asked Chen Zhanyun.
"After the incident, the elder personally inspected the body of the person involved in the accident, but could not find the source of the problem. He only speculated that the incident may not only occur within the station. He had already sent people to collect relevant information in the city early in the morning.
If there is enough information collected and compared with each other, there may be discoveries."
"Nowadays, there are more and more strange things happening in the city. You all should be careful from today on. If there is any abnormal situation, remember to report it in time. Don't be careless, but don't take it too seriously. Things happened. Since they have attracted the attention of the elders, they must be very serious.
It will be solved soon, don’t put too much psychological burden on you.”
Chen Zhanyun said to Zhao Xuanqi and others.
"yes."
"Understood."
"."
The three people responded at the same time, with different expressions.
Zhao Xuanqi secretly thought that it seemed that this incident had just happened. It would be good if the elders of the Red Heart Sect could solve it, but he could not place his hopes entirely on others.
Today was the same as yesterday. Several members of the team were running around the city, dealing with three low-level evil incidents in one morning. After lunch, Zhao Xuanqi suddenly complained that he was feeling unwell and hoped to take half a day off.
Chen Zhanyun did not agree immediately, saying that now they were still new disciples in name and under the jurisdiction of Hua Guangcan, and asked him to ask for leave from Hua Guangcan.
So, Zhao Xuanqi approached Hua Guangcan.
"Not feeling well?"
After Hua Guangcan heard Zhao Xuanqi's reasons, he looked at him deeply, which seemed to mean something profound.
What happened last night caused quite a stir, and of course he knew about it. It seemed very coincidental that Zhao Xuanqi took leave at this time.
"Yes, I have been busy with tasks recently, and the disciple is eager to improve his strength. Perhaps he has practiced excessively, and was contaminated by evil spirits during the task, so he is not feeling well and his qi and blood are disordered. I hope I can rest for half a day."
Zhao Xuanqi cupped his hands and said.
Upon hearing this, Hua Guangcan reached out and grabbed Zhao Xuanqi's wrist, put his fingers on the pulse, measured it briefly, and then retracted his hand, with a look of deep thought on his face.
"The pulse beat is indeed abnormal, and the blood circulation is also relatively slow."
Hua Guangcan said, nodding slightly.
These are all symptoms created by Zhao Xuanqi's deliberate control of his body.
"Since you are not feeling well, I will allow you to rest for two days. Remember not to be impatient in your practice."
Hua Guangcan said to Zhao Xuanqi, then took out his pen and ink and approved a note for him.
"Thank you, Butler."
Zhao Xuanqi thanked him with his hands and left with the note.
Looking at Zhao Xuanqi's leaving figure, Hua Guangcan frowned slightly and didn't say anything. He just took out the booklet that recorded the performance of the new disciples, wrote down the matter, and planned to summon Chen Zhanyun later to ask about the specific situation.
In order to make a new evaluation of Zhao Xuanqi. …
Soon, Zhao Xuanqi found Chen Zhanyun with the note. When he saw Hua Guangcan's approval note, Chen Zhanyun did not stop him anymore. He told him to take care of himself and let him go.
"Why do you feel unwell at this time? He doesn't seem to be injured these days, and he seems to be in better condition than us? I think he is afraid after hearing about the abnormality this morning? He is quite good, and he hid just after asking for leave.
Now, do you want us to take the risk?"
Shen Hong looked at Zhao Xuanqi's walking back, frowned and said.
"I see that Junior Brother Zhao's face looks a little off today. Maybe he is really unwell."
Peng Lin touched his head and smiled nonchalantly, then lowered his head and continued to eat fiercely, regardless of anything else.
"Okay, no need to say more. Junior Brother Zhao performed well in the previous mission. He may be really ill, and Deacon Hua has approved it. There is no need to mention this matter again."
Chen Zhanyun waved his hand to signal the others not to say anything, but he also turned to look at the direction Zhao Xuanqi was leaving, still feeling some grudges in his heart.
He saw Zhao Xuanqi's performance yesterday, he was so energetic and vigorous. Even if he practiced too much overnight, it would not be to the extent that he would need to take a leave of absence.
I'm afraid, as Shen Hong said, it is an act of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
Although this is human nature, as a person, he would look down upon such behavior.
Although this Junior Brother Zhao seems to have good talent, his character and behavior are not good.
Chen Zhanyun's face remained calm, but he shook his head slightly in his heart. If Deacon Hua asked him about relevant matters later, he would not deliberately cover it up for Zhao Xuanqi. After all, he had to bear the price of whatever he did.
