"In the past few days, the fifth junior brother has inquired about a new agent named Shen Lang of the Divine Catcher Hall. Yesterday morning, the fifth junior brother invited Shen Lang here with the intention of recruiting him, but Shen Lang refused."
At dawn, the man in purple had returned to the small building with the news he had learned, and reported it to Master Bailong.
"Who is Shen Lang?"
What is the identity of Master Bailong?
In the entire Shenquan Hall, only Yan Tianying can get his attention, and even Wanfa Zhenren only receives some attention from him.
It is even less likely that a small person like Shen Lang would be known to Master Bai Long.
The man in purple said:
"Shen Lang is the man who cracked the Luling mansion's spider eucalyptus. He is only eighteen years old and is highly regarded by Yan Tianying.
"It is said that two months ago, on the first day he came to the capital, Yan Tianying and Master Wanfa took him to Liuli Temple to visit Master Liuli. Along with them, there was a woman named Bai Shishi.
He is a traitor among the Spider Mother Walkers, and now he has also joined the Divine Catcher Hall.
"In addition, Shen Lang has a talent for Taoism. He holds a token of the real person Wanfa and a letter of recommendation, and enters the Taoist temple to practice. However, except for the time when he first entered the Taoist temple, he stayed in seclusion in the Taoist temple for more than a month, and he was not there the rest of the time.
Taoist temple."
Upon hearing this, Master Bailong's eyes moved slightly:
"Then Shen Lang, is he a human walker who killed several spider mothers?"
The man in purple said:
"The Spider Mother had a total of seven human travelers in Luling Mansion, who were called sisters. Shen Lang killed six of them, and the rest of the peripheral forces were wiped out, leaving only Bai Shishi, the youngest, who will
She brought it back to the capital."
Master Bailong thought for a while and showed a sneer:
"I see!"
The man in purple said:
"Teacher knows who killed the fifth junior brother? But that Shen Lang?"
Master Bailong snorted coldly:
"If you think so, you are playing into the spider mother's hands."
The man in purple said blankly:
"This...disciple is stupid, please teach me."
Master Bailong stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked and pondered for a while, and said slowly:
"There are seven human walkers of the Spider Mother, six of them were killed by Shen Lang, and the only remaining one was also bewitched and betrayed by Shen Lang. But as a human walker of the Star Abyss Demon God, there must be demon gods left among the souls.
How easy is it to betray the brand you have placed on me?
"So, just after Shen Lang came to the capital with Bai Shishi, Yan Tianying and Chang Yuzhen took them to visit Fa Liuli. It was because Fa Liuli had the ability to erase the demon in Bai Shishi's soul.
brand.
"As for Shen Lang, he killed six Spider Mother Walkers and bewitched one more. He has already formed a huge cause and effect with the Spider Mother. With the temperament of the Xingyuan Demon God, how could he not want to take revenge? This also requires Fa Liuli's help.
Cut off the cause and effect between Shen Lang and Spider Mother."
Having said this, Master Bailong is already confident:
"Shen Lang, it has been two months since Bai Shishi went to Beijing, and she is still alive and kicking. Apparently, with the help of Fa Liuli, Yan Tianying, and Chang Yuzhen, she has blocked the Spider Mother's revenge.
"No matter how strong the Spider Mother is, she is no longer in the human world and can no longer take action against Yan Tianying, Chang Yuzhen and even Shen Lang and Bai Shishi who are under the protection of Fa Liuli, so she thought of another plan.
"This strategy is to send another human traveler to assassinate Lao Wu after Lao Wu failed to recruit Shen Lang and had a verbal conflict with him. This will make me suspicious of Shen Lang and use my hand to kill Shen Lang in revenge."
The man in purple said puzzledly:
"However, although Shen Lang is brave and good at fighting, and has repeatedly defeated the strong with the weak, and the many with the few, his level is not too high. His residence is also an ordinary house, which is far less well-defended than the fifth junior brother's residence.
"Since the human walkers sent by the Spider Mother have the ability to sneak into this place and assassinate the fifth junior brother, wouldn't it be even easier to kill Shen Lang? Why go through such a big circle to get revenge by killing Shen Lang with the help of the teacher?"
Master Bailong smiled slightly and said calmly:
"Because Yan Tianying, Chang Yuzhen, and Fa Liuli also have grudges against the Spider Mother.
"This revenge is not because they helped Shen Lang and Bai Shishi blocked the Spider Mother's revenge, but because more than two months ago, when Yan Tianying and others strengthened the seal of Yunding Demon Palace, they used the power of the seal to defeat a
The spider mother's projected incarnation prevented the spider mother from cannibalizing and destroying the seal.
"The Demon God of Xingyuan is chaotic and crazy, and he must retaliate. Since Yan Tianying and others ruined the good deeds of the Spider Mother, how can he not hate it? Unfortunately, the human world is our first-class home after all. No matter how strong the Spider Mother is, there is a Demon Palace seal to stop her.
He was also unable to devote enough power to retaliate against Yan Tianying and others.
"Because of this, after her revenge against Shen Lang and Bai Shishi failed, and she was blocked by Yan Tianying and others, the old hatred became a new one, so she came up with this two-birds-with-one-stone plan."
The man in purple suddenly said:
"Disciple understands! The Spider Mother can send human walkers to kill Shen Lang, but in this case, the most she can do is take revenge on Shen Lang and Bai Shishi, but she still can't do anything to Yan Tianying, Wanfa Zhenren, Liuli Zun
By.
"But on the night of the conflict between the fifth junior brother and Shen Lang, killing the fifth junior brother could logically incite the teacher to doubt Shen Lang and even kill him.
"Once Shen Lang is killed by the teacher, Yan Tianying will probably conflict with the teacher because of the importance he attaches to Shen Lang. In this way, the spider mother can take revenge on Yan Tianying and others at the hands of the teacher!"
Having said this, he bowed deeply to Master Bailong and said in a tone of admiration:
"The teacher, who has seen thousands of miles, actually saw through the Spider Mother's conspiracy at a glance. If it were a disciple, he would have already identified Shen Lang as the murderer and wanted to seek revenge on Shen Lang. In this way, the Spider Mother would kill two birds with one stone with a borrowed knife.
The conspiracy!"
Master Bailong said calmly:
"It's nothing special for me to be able to see the truth as a teacher. It's just that I know more and more comprehensive information than you, and my thoughts are deeper than you."
The man in purple said:
"But there is one thing I still don't understand. How did the Spider Mother know about the conflict between the fifth junior brother and Shen Lang?"
Master Bailong said calmly:
"Cause and fate are mysterious and mysterious. Even though Shen Lang, with the help of Fa Liuli and others, blocked the Spider Mother's revenge, if he wanted to completely cut off the cause and effect of a demon god, even Fa Liuli, who was proficient in 'Destiny', could not do it.
Not caught.
"I believe that Fa Liuli and others only temporarily repelled the spider mother, but did not completely cut off the cause and effect, so that Shen Lang is still under the spider mother's gaze.
"But the Yan Tianying gang always sticks together to the end and never gives up halfway. And Chang Yuzhen and Fa Liuli are close friends...
"So I guess that Shen Lang must have an exorcism treasure that Yan Tianying asked Chang Yuzhen to refine with Fa Liuli. Blocked by this exorcism treasure, after the spider mother was repelled once, she could no longer easily retaliate against Shen Lang.
Lang, you can only keep paying attention to him.
"Since you are paying attention, you can know about the conflict between Shen Lang and Lao Wu."
He raised his hand and pointed at Zhong Yuanzhi's body that was still slumped beside the door of the small hall and had not been cleaned up:
"This boy was originally Lao Wu's lackey, but he was willing to guard the door for the assassins and resist the four flesh and blood puppets. The assassin was able to sneak in here and get close to Lao Wu, and it was this boy who did it. Afterwards, his soul was annihilated and his physical memory was erased.
To eliminate everything, this is exactly what the Spider Mother does.
"As far as I know, this method is called 'Silk Opera'. It uses spider silk to bind the soul. It can treat people as puppets and control their every move. Afterwards, the spider silk is ignited to burn the soul.
Erase all memories."
The man in purple admired:
"Teacher is a scholar of heaven, and he can even understand the methods of demons. But in this case, who should we seek revenge on?"
The spider mother is far away in the star abyss and cannot come to the human world.
Human monks can enter and leave the Cloud Summit Demon Palace at will, and even enter the abyss.
But even first-grade monks can only operate in Yunding Demon Palace.
If you go deep into the Star Abyss, you will be twisted and corrupted by the demonic energy of the Star Abyss in a very short period of time, turning into a twisted monster that has lost itself.
Unless the Demonic Monk from Xue Qianchao first breaks through to the first level by means of Demonic Blood Sacrifice, only then can he continue to maintain his own will while "transcendence and immortality" in a different way after "ascension" to the Star Abyss.
Therefore, it is obviously impossible to seek revenge from the Spider Mother. You can neither enter the Star Abyss nor defeat the Demon God.
A human traveler looking for the Spider Mother?
But no clues were left at the scene of Lian Yunxiao's murder. Where can we find the mysterious Spider Mother Walker?
"This Zhong Yuanzhi used a 'white tiger cub' to get close to Lao Wu?"
"Yes. All four flesh and blood puppets witnessed this incident."
"Hmph, where are there any pure-blooded mythical beasts in the world today? The so-called white tiger cubs were clearly transformed by assassins! They took advantage of Lao Wu's eagerness to obtain the best exotic beasts and refine their clones..."
"The teacher is saying that the assassin can transform into a strange beast? This is a very clever Taoist method! But isn't the assassin a warrior who is at least a third-level entry-level warrior?"
"The art of transformation can also be blessed by other people. However, the art of transforming into strange beasts is quite rare, and there is a hidden danger of dementia and animal transformation. Authentic monks disdain to practice it. There are only outsiders, and there are not enough casual cultivators in the mountains.
There are no authentic Taoist methods that can be cultivated, so we have to use various side magic to fill the gaps."
Master Bailong lowered his eyelids, his eyes dark:
"After the new year, I will go to Yunding Demon Palace and take turns guarding the seal. At that time, I will ask someone to figure out the whereabouts of the Spider Mother Walker. Then... inform the God Catching Hall and let Yan Tianying continue to fight with the Spider Mother. No matter where
If one party suffers a loss, it is my victory."
Everything related to the devil is of course extremely difficult to predict.
But as long as there is a suitable medium, even if it is related to the devil, it can be counted.
And Lian Yunxiao had a murderous grudge against Spider Mother's human traveler.
Even if the body is missing, the cause and effect is so profound. Master Bailong, who has Lian Yunxiao's birth date, five elements attributes, and many relics, can use these as a medium to ask someone to divine the assassin's whereabouts.
Not to mention the crucial information about the assassin transforming into a white tiger cub.
"The teacher is wise!"
The man in purple patted him lightly and asked again:
"Then what should Shen Lang do?"
According to the teacher, Shen Lang is the sworn enemy of the Spider Mother. If he wants to take revenge on the Spider Mother, not only must he not be touched, but he must also be allowed to live well. Only in this way can he get better revenge on the Spider Mother.
"Shen Lang..."
Master Bailong pondered for a while, then slowly said:
"This son is of no importance, but since Lao Wu values Shen Lang and wants to recruit him, as a master, I have to help Lao Wu fulfill this last wish...
"Since Shen Lang is a brave man and good at fighting, and he has already become enemies with the Spider Mother, once he calculates the traces of the Spider Mother's human traveler and informs the Divine Catching Hall, Shen Lang will definitely go to war.
"At that time, let Shen Lang disappear in a legitimate way during the battle with the Spider Mother Walker. This will also make the fight between Yan Tianying and the Spider Mother more intense."
The man in purple bowed deeply and said in admiration:
"Teacher, this plan can not only retaliate against the Spider Mother, but also weaken the Divine Catcher Hall, and also help the fifth junior brother fulfill his last wish. It is really killing three birds with one stone. Disciple admires her!"
Master Bailong said calmly:
"Before that, don't worry about anything. Let Shen Lang spend the last year of his life happily."
"Disciple understands. By the way, the news of the death of fifth junior brother..."
"Until we catch the person who assassinated Lao Wu, don't announce it to the public. Just say that Lao Wu went into seclusion to practice law."
"Yes. In addition, under the fifth junior brother, there is a lackey named Wang Anguo, who is a fifth-grade Dharma cultivator. When the disciple went to Wang Anguo to inquire about information, he was very concerned about the situation of the fifth junior brother and repeatedly inquired about the current situation of the fifth junior brother.
, and expressed his loyalty to the fifth junior brother many times in front of his disciples."
"He is a good dog. Since he is so loyal and has a fifth-grade cultivation level, he can barely be used. So I will reward him with a future and recruit him to work in the Mystic Tower."
"yes."
…
The sky has become bright.
Shenqutang Yamen, Bai Shishi dormitory.
In front of the bed, Bai Shishi, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, exhaled a long breath and condensed into a bundle of breath. Like an arrow missing, it shot out five feet away and hit the door panel with a pop, opening the door panel to the inside and outside.
A transparent hole.
Bai Shishi opened her eyes, looked at the small hole in the door panel, and looked at Shen Lang on the couch with surprise:
"I restore my fifth level cultivation!"
Shen Lang smiled slightly: "Congratulations."
Bai Shishi's pretty face flushed, unable to hold back her joy, she asked in a crisp voice:
"Then what kind of elixir is it? Why is it so effective? It can restore me to the fifth level of cultivation in just one night?"
Although she was able to recover to the fifth level, it was related to the fact that her meridians had been tempered for a long time, and her cultivation had once reached the fifth level, so she already had a solid foundation, but the effectiveness of this spiritual elixir was even more critical.
Without this elixir, she would have to rely on her own cultivation. When she could only rely on the welfare resources of the Divine Catcher Hall and not have much money to buy other cultivation resources, she would have to restore her fifth-grade cultivation.
Spend a year working hard.
Now, a magical elixir can actually save her a year of hard work. Its effectiveness is simply unbelievable.
Shen Langxin said that the elixir made specifically for warriors using "thousand-year-old fish and dragon wood" as the main material would be effective?
In the world today, only Bailong and Qiankun still have stocks of this level of heavenly and earthly treasures.
Brother Lang, my fish and dragon trees are still just small trees. Even with the blessing of Xiaotuji's planting ability, their effectiveness is far less than that of the thousand-year-old fish and dragon trees.
But of course you can't tell Bai Shishi about this.
Even if she could swear to keep it secret, Fa Xiu had plenty of ways to pry her mouth open.
At that moment, he just smiled and warned:
"Don't ask too many questions. Knowing too much will not be good for you. Don't talk about this to others, otherwise there may be trouble in the future."
Bai Shishi already had unconditional trust in Shen Lang. At this time, she no longer asked what happened and nodded vigorously:
"I understand, don't tell anyone about this."
After a pause, he looked at the Jiao Xiaojia placed on the table next to him:
"What about this soft armor?"
Shen Lang chuckled:
"This soft armor is no longer troublesome and can be worn openly. This armor will not drown in water, will not burn in fire, and can withstand standard flintlock musket bullets fired from twenty steps away. However, it cannot withstand the close attacks of martial arts masters.
, it can’t block the spell, it can only make you a little safer, so remember not to be careless about it.”
"I see."
Bai Shishi nodded and asked him again:
"Is your injury getting better?"
"Much better."
"Continue to rest in the Yamen today?"
Shen Lang thought to himself:
Yan Tianying was not at the Yamen last night, but no one came to the Shenzhou Hall to question him. The matter must have been concealed for the time being.
After all, Lian Yunxiao inquired about "Shen Lang" in the Taoist Academy, and even the concierge Uncle Zhang knew about it. There were many students from the Taoist Academy who wanted to know about it. And he refused Lian Yunxiao's solicitation, the four flesh puppets, and Wang
Everyone in Anguo also knows.
Master Bailong could easily find out that the only outsider who had recently interacted with Lian Yunxiao and had a small conflict was Shen Lang.
If he wanted to raise an army to investigate, he should have taken advantage of Yan Tianying's absence and come to the Yamen to arrest him.
If the worst situation really happens, Shen Lang will not be helpless.
He knew that Yan Tianying was accompanying Master Wanfa at Yunding Demon Palace, and Master Liuli was also there.
And he has a sword token in his hand that can "send a text message" to Master Wanfa. He can retreat into the Jingbi Space first and send a text message to it.
Master Wanfa knew it, and Master Yan Tianying and Liuli also knew it.
Venerable Liuli knew that he, a "born Buddhist", was in danger and would definitely come to rescue him.
With the "magic foot power" of taking a thousand miles in one step, the distance of more than three thousand miles is only a matter of three or four steps.
Maybe before Master Bailong noticed the anomaly of the "Dian Jing Pen", Fa Liuli had already rushed to the Shenhuatang Yamen and blocked Master Bailong.
Wait until Yan Tianying and Wanfa Zhenren come back by flying magic weapon, the crisis will be easily solved.
Anyway, Shen Lang's counterattack was justified. Who told Lian Yunxiao to send a killer to kill him first and still have the confidence to admit it?
Of course, this is the worst case scenario.
If it really comes to that step, it will be tantamount to openly breaking up with Master Bailong. From now on, Shen Lang is afraid that he will have to stay in the Shenhuatang Yamen and not want to go anywhere.
Now this worst case scenario has not occurred.
It was daybreak and no one came to question him. It was obvious that Master Bailong was misled by the traces of power deliberately left by the little spider.
After all, except for Mu Qingxue, who had witnessed him borrowing the power of the little spider Dream Demon, who in the world could imagine that he, who had a deep hatred for the spider mother, could actually borrow the power of the spider mother?
With Master Bailong's cultivation level, he would definitely be able to discover the traces of the spider mother's exclusive demonic power left by the little spider.
And with Da Zhenren’s superb vision and outstanding wisdom, in the absence of key information, all relying on reasoning, then according to the existing clues, with the most reasonable and logical reasoning, one hundred percent will suspect that this is the spider mother killing two birds with one stone.
plan.
This is not because Bai Long is stupid, on the contrary, it is precisely because he is too smart and missing the most crucial clue that "Shen Lang can borrow the power of the Spider Mother".
If he had been a bit stupider, he might have come directly to Shen Lang.
Now that the first night, which is supposed to be the most dangerous, has been safely passed, there should be no blows from Master Bailong's side in the future, at least in a short period of time.
But Shen Lang wouldn't just sit back and relax.
Real people's thoughts are difficult to fathom.
In particular, Master Bailong is the most unreasonable royal family and the one who least needs to be reasonable. He is also the most valuable direct royal family like the direct grandson of Chu Taizu.
God knows if he will take out his anger on Lian Yunxiao's death, the last person who had a conflict with Lian Yunxiao, Shen Lang.
Maybe because of that little "verbal conflict", he might have to kill Shen Lang to vent his anger on Lian Yunxiao, in order to comfort his disciple's spirit in heaven.
Mu Qingxue is not at home now, and Shen Zhai doesn't have a house goddess who makes people dare not act rashly, so...
"Until the injury heals, I'd better continue to stay in the Yamen to recuperate. Anyway, I was assassinated by a lot of famous black market killers last night, and I was injured a lot. I am still hiding in the Yamen, safety first."
, reasonable and reasonable.”
This is not called cowardice, this is called stability.
"Then you can stay in my room. I'll be cleaning up an empty room next door, so I'll live over there. If you need anything, call me anytime."
Bai Shishi deliberately accentuated the word "need" and gave Shen Lang a wink.
"Tsk, this is the Yamen dormitory, please be more serious."
"Hahaha, just kidding..."
"By the way, please ask a colleague to go to my house later and help bring the horse over to prevent it from starving to death."
"You don't need to invite anyone, do you? I'll just go and bring it over for you."
"Don't leave the Yamen for the time being. Just take the last two days of leave in the Yamen to consolidate your cultivation."
"Uh, is it necessary to be so careful?"
"Caution is the boat."
"Okay then. By the way, are you hungry? I'll give you something to eat."
"...he's talking dirty again!"
"Where is it?"
"The expression on your face just now said it all."
"Let me go, can you understand this? When I first heard Yue Ling'er say this joke, I was very confused! It seems that you are not an honest monk!"
"I never said that I was an honest monk. Come on, stop talking nonsense. I'm really hungry now. Go to the canteen and bring me some food. You know how much I eat."
"Okay, just wait, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Bai Shishi opened the closet, hugged a pack of clothes, and then hurried out.
After waiting for half an hour, Bai Shishi, who said she would "be back soon", came back carrying a huge lunch box.
As for why it came so late...
Well, she has returned to the hot look she wore when they first met - wearing only a black tube top underneath, revealing her fragrant shoulders, delicate collarbones, snow-white belly, and even her drop-shaped belly button.
Wearing a black short skirt underneath, her slender calves and even half of her snow-white round thighs were fully exposed.
Wearing a black gown with a double-breasted waist and a split hem, it vividly outlines the beautiful and attractive curves of her waist and hips.
"Sorry, after I came back from dinner, I went next door to clean up the room and changed my clothes..."
Bai Shishi walked in swayingly carrying a food box and tilted her head at Shen Lang and smiled:
"Does it look good?"
My buddy’s ex-girlfriend, the one who insisted on dragging me to testify against her when we reunited in The Spider Mother, even showed me a bikini, and it was the smallest one. What you look like in this outfit is really cool.
Nothing surprising.
Shen Lang said in his heart, with a calm expression on his face, and said calmly:
"Not bad, I have a pretty good figure."
Well, in terms of appearance, Bai Shishi is on par with Zi Tong, but as a middle-level third-level warrior who has gone through physical training, her figure is much better.
Bai Shi was full of poetry, with a look of resentment on his face:
"Although your words are complimenting me, your expression doesn't feel sincere."
"That's almost it!" Shen Lang rolled his eyes: "I've already praised you, what else do you want from me? Jump up and hug you, raising and lowering my hands?"
Bai Shishi twirled the corners of her clothes in a shy manner:
"Well, then you are stronger than me. If you really want to act like that, a weak woman wouldn't be able to resist..."
"I go!"
Shen Lang glared at her and jumped off the bed:
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm starving to death. Hurry up and eat. Besides, you are in the yamen now, and you are guilty, so pay attention to your image. Don't wear this outfit casually again."
"It means it's best to only wear it in front of you, right? I understand."
Bai Shishi chuckled, opened the lunch box, took out three dishes and one soup, plus four steamed buns, four pancakes with meat, and four boiled eggs. "As I said, I came back from the meal and changed into the ones in the next room.
I didn’t wear this outfit to the cafeteria.”
"I don't mean that. You can wear whatever you like. Even if you wander around without clothes, I can't control you. But we are serious people now, and we must dress more seriously. Besides, if you wear this,
How should I wear soft armor?"
The twisted silk armor is in the style of a vest, and it doesn't match Bai Shishi's outfit at all.
"Okay, I understand. In short, I will only wear it for you to see. Well, I will change my clothes back later."
"They say it's none of my business how you dress... This little food is enough for me, right? What about yours?"
"Maybe it's because of that pill, but I'm not hungry at all now."
"Well, that elixir can not only improve your skill, but also increase the vitality of your qi and blood, and strengthen your muscles and bones. It hasn't been long since you refined the elixir, and now your qi and blood vitality is strong, so you won't feel hungry. Then I won't
You're welcome to eat."
"You eat, I'll make the bed."
When Shen Lang sat at the table and ate, Bai Shishi made the bed and said:
"While I was preparing food in the canteen, I heard from some clerks who were going to have breakfast that Mr. Yan has already returned to the Yamen. Do you want to report to him what happened last night?"
Shen Lang pondered for a while and said slowly:
"There is indeed something important that needs to be reported to Mr. Yan."
It doesn't matter whether you tell Yan Tianying about killing Lian Yunxiao or not.
But Yan Tianying must know about the secret technique of "Five Thunder Strikes" in Lian Yunxiao's storage space.
Otherwise, if Master Wulei really has a secret appointment with Master Bailong, but Yan Tianying doesn't know about it, he may suffer a big loss in the future.
After finishing breakfast three times, five times and two times, Shen Lang wiped his mouth, stood up and went out:
"I'm going to see Mr. Yan so that you can cultivate and consolidate your realm."
"Don't you need me to help you? Your legs..."
Bai Shishi's words stopped abruptly, because Shen Lang, who was walking out the door, seemed to be well.
After resting for a night, he took the high-quality healing elixir that Lian Yunxiao carried with him. Xiaotuji also used the "Small Return to Heaven" technique on him for the whole night. Shen Lang himself also kept using various healing spells, and two more
With the powerful recovery power of the "Vitality Enhancement" level, the serious injury last night that could turn an ordinary warrior into a useless person has not completely healed, but it does not affect daily activities.
Even if you use force, there will still be some problems.
The ligaments, bones, meridians, and Dantian are not healed yet, so strenuous exercise is not allowed for the time being.
But casting the spell is no longer a problem.
After all, the injuries last night were mainly caused by the super kill, and the injuries were mainly concentrated on the physical body.
Although the mental power was exhausted in that overloaded killing blow, the soul and the sea of consciousness were safe and sound.
I took some energy-reviving elixir last night, and I can already cast healing spells.
After leaving the dormitory, Shen Lang blessed himself with the "Spiritual Flying Technique". He suddenly became as light as a swallow, walked more easily, and could climb over the wall into a room without any problem.
As he walked towards the small building where Yan Tianying's office was located, he thought about how he should learn a few more spells to strengthen his strength and physique in a short period of time.
In this way, if you explode to the limit and perform the ultimate swordsmanship with overload, not only will the swordsmanship be more powerful, but your body will be better able to withstand the backlash, and you will not be injured as seriously as last night.
"There seem to be quite a few such spells..."
Shen Lang rummaged through the spell database scanned by Little Moon for a while and found many such spells by keyword.
Temporary increases in strength include: the power of running bulls, the power of crouching tigers, the power of carrying cauldrons, the power of nine oxen and two tigers, the power of vajra...
From the ninth level to the fifth level, there are spells that increase strength.
There are also spells that temporarily increase physical strength: bronze head and iron shoulders, bronze heart and iron lungs, endless life... and so on.
Spells that increase physical fitness basically have the effect of improving defense.
Many blessing-type defensive spells, such as "Reinforced Iron Bone Technique", can also temporarily strengthen some physical bodies and increase some strength to a certain extent.
Shen Lang highlighted several spells that could be learned at this stage and would not occupy important spell slots, and planned to practice them one by one in the near future.
"Thinking about it this way, I really have a lot of spells to learn! There are still two short spells for the fifth level, three short for the sixth level, three short for the seventh level, and even more for the eighth and ninth levels...
During this period a year ago, I went into seclusion for a while to perfect my spells."
After thinking all the way to the small office building of Yan Tianying, Shen Lang gathered his thoughts, straightened his clothes, and walked into the building.
When he saw Yan Tianying, he was having breakfast.
For warriors of level three or above, their appetite can return to normal.
A warrior who has condensed the "Aperture of Life and Death" can even fight at high intensity without eating or drinking for seven consecutive days at the extreme state. A first-grade grand master is even more powerful. He can continue to fight without eating or drinking for a month.
Therefore, Yan Tianying's breakfast portion was not large, just two white flour steamed buns and a bowl of egg drop soup.
Seeing Shen Lang, Yan Tianying smiled and said:
"Xiao Shen is here? Have you had breakfast?"
Shen Lang stepped forward and bowed:
"Greetings to Mr. Yan. Thank you for your concern. I have already eaten. Is this what Mr. Yan has for breakfast?"
Yan Tianying smiled and said:
"In the past two years, my appetite has become less and less. In fact, I don't have to eat anything. The reason why I insist on eating three meals a day is just because I am greedy for the fireworks in the world. By the way, I heard from Zhu Captou that you were attacked by a killer last night and suffered a little.
hurt?"
"A little injury, it's nothing to worry about."
"Don't be brave. Every killer who can make a name for himself in the black market has one or two unique skills. Some of their secret skills are so vicious that they can leave hidden dangers..."
"Master Yan, the injuries I suffered last night were not caused by the killer. They were all caused by me. And the reason why I suffered such injuries is because I..."
Shen Lang's lips parted, and he condensed his voice into a bundle, directly reaching Yan Tianying's ears:
"I killed Lian Yunxiao."
"..."
Yan Tianying was startled and his expression became serious.
Immediately, with a wave of his sleeves, the doors and windows were closed. At the same time, Shen Lang also noticed an invisible force that blocked the entire room, making the room seem to be completely isolated from the world, and even the air no longer interacted with the outside world.
After completely sealing the room with Qi machine, Yan Tianying just sent a message and asked:
"What is the specific situation? Please follow it from beginning to end."
Shen Lang started from yesterday morning when Lian Yunxiao sent someone to invite him with the intention of recruiting him. He told Lian Yunxiao's benefits and excuses to bribe him in detail.
Later, he lurked and assassinated the Eighteen Killers, and he slightly revised the story about how he counter-killed him. He only said that he used two spells to summon Tao soldiers and summon monster beasts to drive the Tao soldiers, and the monsters destroyed all the killers, leaving only
A killer questions.
As for the revelation of Mei Nu's possession and Lian Yunxiao's unscrupulousness, it is even more important to highlight Lian Yunxiao's confidence.
The method of assassinating Lian Yunxiao in the end was not stated in detail, only briefly mentioned, and Yan Tianying would not mind if he kept some of his own little secrets.
But counter-killing Lian Yunxiao is not the focus.
The real point is the secret technique of "Five Thunder Strikes the Top".
Shen Lang took out the Taoist scroll and presented it to Yan Tianying's eucalyptus - the spell had of course been scanned, and it didn't matter whether he had this scroll or not.
"Master Yan, this is the scroll that records the secret technique of Five Thunder Strikes. I once heard Mr. Mu mention that this thunder technique is the exclusive secret technique of Wu Lei Zhenren's series and has never been passed down. Therefore, the magic weapon is stored in Lian Yunxiao
After I saw this thing, I felt that it was very suspicious, but I didn't dare to speculate randomly, so I came here to report it to Master Yan."
Yan Tianying looked at the unfolded scroll and tapped his fingers on the table with a solemn expression.
After being silent for a while, he slowly said:
"Master Wu Lei... Although his Taoism is violent, he has always been low-key and a bit aloof from the world... I have a personal relationship with him, but every time he strengthens the seal of Yunding Demon Palace, he also goes to great lengths..."
Having said this, he shook his head and sighed:
"The appearance of this secret scroll in Lian Yunxiao's storage space is indeed suspicious. I will discuss it with Yuzhen and consider the matter carefully. Xiao Shen, please don't spread the word about it yet."
"My subordinate understands."
"Besides, you were a bit reckless in assassinating Lian Yunxiao."
"I did not leave any traces at the scene, and no one saw me take action..."
"However, no matter how clean you are, even if Master Bailong does not doubt you, just because you have refused Lian Yunxiao's solicitation, Master Bailong will get angry and kill you."
"I have actually expected the royal family to be unreasonable."
"But you still took action decisively."
Shen Lang spread his hands and said helplessly:
"Lian Yunxiao failed to recruit me in the morning, then sent a killer to kill me in the evening, and he admitted it fearlessly... He is so vengeful and unscrupulous, I can't imagine what kind of methods he will use if I delay for a few more days.
"Perhaps, even colleagues who are slightly closer to me will suffer retaliation from him. I don't have the capital to fight with him for a long time, so I can only cut the knot quickly."
Yan Tianying thought for a while and quickly realized that with Shen Lang's identity, status, and resources, he was indeed not qualified to fight with someone like Little Heavenly Master Lian Yunxiao for a long time.
And the help Yan Tianying could give Shen Lang was just to ensure that Master Bailong would not bully the younger ones and personally help his disciples deal with Shen Lang. But he could not give Shen Lang and Lian Yunxiao equal resources.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he doesn't.
"Lian Yunxiao is dead, and Master Bailong will definitely take revenge on you. All I can do is to ensure that he does not dare to bully the weak and deal with you personally. But Master Bailong still has four direct disciples, three of whom are
His whereabouts are secret, only four disciples have been following him to do things, and their cultivation level is also at the fourth level."
Yan Tianying said slowly:
"You can take Lian Yunxiao by surprise and kill him quickly. It's a good chance. The fourth disciple of Bailong is far stronger than Lian Yunxiao and has rich experience. He is not as arrogant as a young genius like Lian Yunxiao. If he takes action against you,
It is a big threat to you."
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"Don't worry, sir, as long as you give me a certain amount of time and I'm a senior fourth-level practitioner, I'm not afraid."
Now Lian Yunxiao has supported him with a wave of powerful equipment, elixirs, and bones, and he is about to be promoted to the third level, and he himself has decided to retreat to practice law.
When his strength is fully improved, he may not be embarrassed if he really encounters the four disciples of Bailong Zhenren, even in a head-on confrontation.
Yan Tianying nodded slowly:
"During that time, you will stay in the Yamen on duty and practice. The assassins ambush and assassinate you last night, so you are 'injured'. There is no shortage of excuses."
"Yes, my subordinates think so too."
After it was over, Shen Lang couldn't help but ask:
"Master Yan, the royal family members are so selfish and are even highly suspected of colluding with the devil to harm innocent people. Why do you still tolerate them? Why can't you..."
Yan Tianying smiled:
"You mean, I am invincible, why don't I defeat two royal families, even kill the emperor, and seize the bird throne, right?"
Shen Lang touched the back of his head and laughed twice:
"Then what...I didn't say that."
Yan Tianying said calmly:
"Xiaomu also mentioned the things I complained about the court and the royal family to you, right?
"Yes, I am indeed not a foolish and loyal person. If possible, I am not afraid of risking the rule of the world. But... the background of the Dachu royal family is far beyond your imagination. Bailong and Qiankun, personally
Their strength is not as good as mine, but the power they control is actually greater than mine.
"If it's just like this, that's it. Careerists will dare to take action if there is a 10% chance of rebellion. What's more, if I take action, I will be at least 40 to 50% sure. But have you ever thought about it, if it really comes to that point, what will happen to the people?
Gu?"
He sighed:
"I'm not sure that I can kill Bailong, Qiankun, and overthrow the royal family quickly. Once the confrontation turns into a long-term confrontation, evil spirits and ghosts will definitely take advantage of the chaos. It may turn into the end of the previous dynasty, with demons dancing wildly, ghosts everywhere, and no living beings left.
Such a scene. Then I, Yan Tianying, will never atone for my sins until I die!
"The other one, what if I succeed in overthrowing the Great Chu? How heroic was Taizu Chu back then? How much he loved the people? But even he couldn't imagine that his brother Qiankun Zhenren and his grandson Bailong Zhenren would become
Is it what it looks like now?
"Even if I have the ability to overthrow the Great Chu, I don't have the ability to find a better system, let alone ensure that future generations can abide by my heart and pity the people like me. Even if I make you Shen Lang the emperor, you leave
From now on, can we guarantee that the descendants of the Shen family will hate evil as much as you do?"
Shen Lang wanted to say that there is no perfect system in the world.
As long as a system is formulated and implemented by people, it will have flaws and there will be countless loopholes that can be exploited.
But even so, even if it is only a little bit better than the current system, it is a good thing.
But before he could speak, Yan Tianying continued:
"In addition to internal factors, there are also external factors. Today's 'world' is no longer limited to the Eastern Land and the four barbarians. Nowadays, maritime trade is booming, and Western countries have invaded Southeast Asia, and they are also eyeing our Eastern Land.
"You may not know how strong the Western countries are. Because their cultivation systems are fundamentally different from our Eastern Tu system, the success rate of ninth-level Westerners is much higher than that of the Eastern Tu. Although their individual strength is not as good as that of the Eastern Tier 1
, but the advantage lies in their large numbers.
"Each of the nine most powerful countries in the West has ninth-level experts who are equivalent to first-class real people, ranging from one or two people to two or three people. There are also divine churches above them that can interfere in the human world.
"Although the Western countries are constantly arguing with each other and often have wars, and the gods and churches also have many conflicts due to competition for faith, but they all have the same opinion about our Eastern Territory, and they all covet the land and wealth of the Eastern Territory. Even the gods covet it.
Dongtu’s huge population...
"White Dragon, no matter how selfish Qiankun is, their existence itself is a deterrent to the Western countries. Now that the mighty Bodhisattva has fallen into a demon state and the Dragon King of the Seven Seas has gone away, there are only seven first-level ones left in the Eastern Land. If
After killing the white dragon, Qiankun, even in the chaos of the war, suffered heavy injuries and killed one or two real people...
"The Western countries will allied forces to invade the Eastern Territory. Even if they want to be wary of each other and dare not send all the ninth-level experts out, each family will leave one ninth-level expert to guard the country. They can also send more than ten ninth-level experts to invade.
.
"And how can the few first-class ones from our eastern land be able to withstand so many ninth-level ones from the West, even the incarnations of gods?
"At that time, our Eastern Territory will fall and be divided up by the Western countries. All the land and wealth in the Eastern Territory will be plundered. The people of the Eastern Territory will also speak Western languages, believe in Western gods, and even forget their own ancestors and civilization."
Hearing this, Shen Lang couldn't help but ask:
"If that happens, will the Eastern Land Immortals just sit back and watch?"
Yan Tianying said calmly:
"You don't have to count on the Earth Immortal. In the last years of the previous dynasty, there were five years of drought, ten years of floods, and natural disasters. Where were the Earth Immortal? In troubled times, there were struggles for hegemony, blood sacrifices from demons and gods, and demons and ghosts running rampant. The people of the Eastern Land were wiped out for a while, but the Earth Immortal was there again.
Where? Could it be that when the Western countries invade, the earthly immortals will suddenly realize their conscience and come to save the world?
"Cultivation is an extremely selfish thing. Practitioners are a group of extremely selfish people. Earthly immortals can throw away all ties, parents, relatives, descendants, relatives and friends, just to transcend immortality for themselves, unlike Western gods.
Similarly, if there is a need for faith and willpower, why should they care about human affairs?
"I have transcended and been free, and you have fallen into a sea of misery. What does that have to do with me?"
Having said this, he stood up, walked to Shen Lang, and gently patted Shen Lang on the shoulder:
"Gods cannot be relied upon. Mortals like us can only rely on ourselves."
