After the curfew, the city fell into silence. Except for the watchmen and necessary patrol personnel, there were no more people walking around.
suddenly.
There was a fire burning in a certain house, and then it swept through the surrounding houses at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But surprisingly.
In the house that was burned by the fire, no one's voice could be heard.
On the contrary, the people who were about to be affected by the fire, after realizing this problem, ran out of their houses one after another, and then shouted wildly.
“It’s gone!”
“It’s gone!”
“Everyone, come out quickly”
The panicked voice completely broke the tranquility in the city.
After the people in the yamen got the news, they immediately sent people to deal with the fire.
but.
After the fire was extinguished, what those people saw were mummies lying there motionless.
It looks like.
It was as if he had been burned to death in a fire while he was sleeping, without any trace of struggle.
Such a strange scene spread immediately.
“There is something evil at work!”
Ma Fan's face became solemn when he saw the charred corpses.
He is from the Demon Suppression Department, and he understands that the situation in front of him is definitely not a simple fire incident.
even though.
The sinister atmosphere in the ruins had been completely destroyed by the fire.
But.
Just based on the corpse in front of him, Ma Fan could determine what happened.
Hearing this, the faces of the government officials next to him changed drastically.
“Sir, do you mean to say that there are evil spirits causing trouble in the city?”
"good."
Ma Fan nodded, his eyes still lingering on the mummies.
"Only evil spirits are causing trouble, and the situation in front of us is possible. There are obviously evil spirits infiltrating the city. Patrols in the city will be stepped up. Any abnormal situations will be reported as soon as possible, and other matters will be left to me to handle."
“Humble your duties and obey your orders!”
Several government officials took the order.
Ma Fan looked at the mummy a few more times, then turned and left.
Evil spirits cause chaos.
But I didn’t realize it at all in advance.
There are two possibilities for this situation, either the evil aura of the evil spirit is too weak, or the opponent is extremely good at hiding.
The former is okay, indicating that the opponent is not strong.
But if it’s the latter, it’s hard to say.
A time.
He felt some pressure in his heart.
“Not long ago, the Demon Suppressing Division lost troops and generals at the hands of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect. It was emphasized above that we must prevent evil spirits from causing chaos. The current scene in the city may be a sign.”
Ma Fan thought to himself.
If this is a sign, it means that there will be bigger actions later.
I am just a small yellow-level demon slayer, and I have no problem dealing with ordinary demons. But if I encounter a powerful demon, I have no confidence in fighting against it.
“Although Chen County is not big, it has a lot of people. This matter still needs to be reported to the Demon Suppression Division!”
Take a deep breath.
Ma Fan finally disappeared into the vast darkness.
Broken the mountain city and suppressed the demons.
In the past few days, Shen Changqing has been practicing the Seven-Star Step in the Sky and achieved remarkable results.
Above the panel.
Seven Stars Skywalking has directly broken through from the original first level to the third level.
The three-level Seven Stars step in the air becomes very mysterious.
Not only is his body as elusive as a ghost, his speed is also much faster.
not only that.
He felt that he had some vague insights into the fourth level.
“The number of layers of internal and external skills represents a breakthrough in realm, while the number of layers of offensive martial arts represents the depth of proficiency.
If the first level is regarded as the first glimpse, and the second level is regarded as the entrance, then I have now reached the stage of proficiency on the third level.
The fourth and fifth levels behind can be regarded as reaching the pinnacle of Dacheng state and realizing the true meaning of returning to one's original nature."
Shen Changqing thought to himself.
These divisions are just his personal opinion. In fact, the panels are not that complicated. The first floor is the first floor, and the second floor is the second floor.
Whether it’s the Red Sun Divine Palm or the Seven Stars Step into the Sky.
At the fifth level, it is the stage where the true meaning can be directly understood.
To this.
Shen Changqing is also very curious.
to be honest.
From the archives of the Martial Arts Pavilion, it has been stated that warriors can comprehend multiple true meanings.
However, he never understood the second true meaning.
Shen Changqing doesn’t know either.
If you realize the second true meaning, what kind of changes will happen?
In other words.
If you give birth to a soul yourself, what difference will there be in so many true meanings?
Before the master reached his peak.
For some problems, he can get advice from his predecessors and study them through archives.
But the realm after the master.
It is no longer possible to get guidance from predecessors.
The great master of the world.
The only great master is Shakmaha.
Shen Changqing didn’t think that Shi Maha would be willing to give him advice.
so.
For everything after the Grand Master, you have to rely on your own exploration.
same.
Because the predecessors were limited to the realm of masters, many of the speculations and records made by the great masters may not be correct.
Just like, for example.
At first he thought internal strength was the most important, but later he thought internal strength was not important.
Only when you get to the next level can you understand that only when all three are at the pinnacle, can you be qualified to become a great master.
Having past experience.
Shen Changqing was dubious about the records he had read.
therefore.
He was not 100% sure whether he could comprehend the second true meaning after giving birth to the soul.
If a true meaning represents a soul.
The second true meaning, it is impossible for a second soul to appear.
That way.
Could it be that he is schizophrenic?
Shaked his head.
Shen Changqing drove away these distracting thoughts.
"No matter what, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Anyway, just keep practicing. With the strength of a half-step grand master, although the first four levels of martial arts are not difficult, but if you want to understand the true meaning, you have to pay attention to many aspects. factor.
It only takes me a few days to practice the Seven-Star Sky Step to the fourth level. If I want to understand the true meaning, I can't succeed in a day or two."
Taking a deep breath, he settled down a little, and planned to practice again.
The fourth-level Seven Stars Walking in the Sky can achieve true emptiness.
at this point.
Shen Changqing is still very greedy.
at this time.
It was obviously a little bigger. Tian Kui, who was lying at the door of the courtyard as a guard, let out a warning sound from his mouth.
Subsequently, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
Shen Changqing made a movement, his spiritual thoughts penetrated his body, and he immediately opened the courtyard.
Outside the door.
Deng Gu saw Tian Kui guarding the door and did not walk in easily. Instead, he bowed to Shen Changqing who was approaching.
“Elder Shen!”
“What’s the purpose of Deng Zhumo coming here?”
Seeing the person coming, Shen Changqing glanced at him, and Tian Kui retreated as if he understood.
“Deng Zhumo, come in and talk!”
"excuse me."
Deng Gu said something and then walked in.
Soon.
He just gets straight to the point.
"In the morning, news came that within the area under the jurisdiction of our Demon Suppression Department, there were many demonic troubles, and some people died as a result. Demon slayers from various places suspected that the demons had other purposes, so they reported the situation to Report it here, I hope the Demon Suppressor will know about it."
“In many places, how many places did some people lose their lives, and how many people died?”
Shen Changqing frowned. He didn't like this ambiguous way of speaking.
Hear the words.
Deng Gu hurriedly replied: "Elder Qi, now within the scope of the Suppression of Demon Division under the jurisdiction of Poshan City, a total of seventeen cities have been attacked, with a total of more than 500 people killed and injured. We cannot rule out that there will be more in the future."
Seventeen cities!
More than five hundred people!
Shen Changqing’s expression remained unchanged: “Who gave you all your news?”
Although Deng Gu said that the news came from various cities, the other party was just an ordinary earth-level demon slayer, and obviously did not have the qualifications to control these matters.
“The chief steward of Tianchawei in Poshan City.”
“Head-in-charge of Tianchawei.”
Shen Changqing nodded slightly, and then he looked at Deng Gu.
“You ask him to come over.”
“Um, yes!”
Deng Gu didn’t ask too much, but bowed his hands and turned to leave.
Compared with before, I feel more pressure in front of Shen Changqing now.
That feeling made him want to escape.
This change.
The big reason is that it comes from Shenxiao Golden Body.
Martial arts absorbs the power of heavenly thunder, giving Shen Changqing a natural and unpredictable majesty that is like the power of heaven.
People with ordinary minds will feel strong oppression in front of them.
Less than a quarter of an hour.
There is already one more person in the small courtyard.
“Xing Yi, the chief steward of Tianchawei in Poshan City, has met Elder Shen!”
The middle-aged man wearing a green and white gown and a goatee said with a respectful expression.
Looking at the person in front of him, Shen Changqing nodded.
“Mr. Xing is very polite.”
Then he got straight to the point.
“I heard what Deng Gu said just now. Manager Xing has received messages from various cities. Could you please explain in detail?”
"yes!"
Xing Yi's demeanor returned to normal, he coughed lightly and moistened his throat.
“A few days ago, there were signs of demonic activity within the jurisdiction of our Demon Suppression Division, but things were still under control. However, starting in the past two days, the demonic activity intensified.
In just two days, evil spirits caused chaos in seventeen cities, killing and injuring more than 500 people.
But so far, we have not found any traces of the evil spirits, but this matter has caused quite a commotion.
I am worried that this is because the Yaoxie clan has noticed that the strength of our Demon Suppressor has been compromised and wants to take this opportunity to launch an offensive, so I reported the news as soon as possible, hoping that Elder Shen can make a decision."
He did not hide anything and told everything he knew.
Ji Tianlu had given instructions before retreating that all matters within the Demon Suppression Division would be decided by Elder Shen in front of him for the time being.
