After thinking about it, all Lu Zhong could think of was to collect more information.
Considering that the other party will be tracking you, maybe you can find something useful by retracing the relevant scenes and find a way to break the situation.
He did what he said, pretending not to know anything about the outside world, and continued to sit cross-legged in the quiet room.
At the same time, he entered the gray fog space and began to review and analyze the scene of going out in the past half month.
The retrospective selection started from the recent period, first when he went out to sell talismans two days ago, and then when he went to buy daily necessities three days ago, he made a detailed analysis of the scenes every time he went out.
After spending several days in this way, I really discovered something.
Through backtracking, Lu Zhong determined the date when he was targeted, which was sixty-seven days ago.
That day was the opening day of the stall. Due to the good customer flow, a total of seventeen exorcism talismans were sold. Excluding the cost of the talisman skin and ink, the gross profit was enough to cover ten spiritual stones.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that a young man dressed as a scholar set his sights on him.
The other party acted cautiously. At first, he only stayed in the stall area of the Sixth Ring Road, and then slowly tracked him to the small bamboo forest courtyard where Lu Zhong lived. It was not until he was sure that the person being followed was unaware that he approached the target.
residence.
But even so, he still used disguise methods such as bone shrinkage to prevent himself from being exposed.
In the flashback scene, Lu Zhong tried to use Qi-gazing, but failed to find out this person's specific cultivation level.
It was obvious that the opponent had used a breath-containing technique, or had an item with a similar effect.
Regarding this person, Lu Zhong also discovered that the other person's disguise only changed his body shape and appearance. Although the skin not wrapped by clothes will change with the appearance, it may become old and wrinkled or young and smooth, but there are some spots on the surface.
The scars have not changed.
In some scenes where the tracking distance was relatively close, he could see the callus inadvertently exposed on the opponent's left hand.
The location where the calluses are removed is on the left side of the second joint of the index finger and the tiger's mouth.
From this, it can be judged that this person should be good at using a knife.
In other scenes, the thickness of this person's arms is inconsistent with his body. It can be guessed that this person should be a left-handed swordsman with extremely explosive power.
In addition, judging from the information that the opponent is followed in disguise every time, it cannot be ruled out that this is a lone wolf without the assistance of his accomplices, and there is a high probability that he will be alone when he takes action.
The above is all the information Lu Zhong collected through scene retrieval.
Then there is the analysis of yourself.
"If there is no accident, my specific cultivation should have been mastered by him." Lu Zhong sat at the talisman making table with a calm face, listing items one by one on the paper with a pen. The qi-gazing technique can only observe the flow of spiritual energy.
, it is not a clairvoyance technique, as long as he uses ordinary ink, he is not afraid of the prying eyes of the people outside.
"As for the two attack spells I have learned, maybe they will be known by the other party, especially Chi Yangfa swordsmanship. Considering that this person is a master of swordsmanship, unless there is really no other way, you must not fight with him in close combat."
Thinking of this, he found that he was still not cautious enough.
The Qingyang Fire and Rain Technique is just that, the Chi Yangfa Sword Technique, which can be used as a trump card, is actually used at will without cover. From this point of view, it is not careful enough.
But now I realize that it won't help anymore. If I reflect more in the future, there is no need to continue to worry about it now.
"In this way, the only means that I have not yet known to the other party are the two golden light talismans on my body, a fireball talisman obtained from the Qingyang Sect disciple's storage bag, and the rarely used sword light."
The sword light of Shuimu Sword Technique can still be used after Lu Zhong switched to Four Spiritual Skills.
After all, the so-called sword light is essentially a special way to use spiritual power.
He had hardly used Jianmang, but he didn't expect that it would become a trump card now.
With the sharpness of the sword, although it cannot penetrate the golden light talisman's shield with one blow, it can cause great damage to the physical body. If it hits a vital part, it can defeat the enemy with one blow.
The only thing that needs to be considered is whether the opponent has a defensive weapon.
If it were true, the effect of the sword light would be greatly reduced.
"There is a high probability that it will not happen. After all, the price of defensive magic weapons is extremely high. The price is usually two to three times that of offensive magic weapons. Except for those sect disciples and family monks, most casual cultivators cannot afford it.
"
Lu Zhong thought about it and decided to be more cautious.
"Just think of it as his fault. After all, you can never make a big mistake by being careful."
After careful analysis, he came to a preliminary judgment.
There is a high probability that the opponent is a monk in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and the highest level is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Otherwise, with the strength of a monk in the late stage of Qi Refining, he would be able to catch himself off guard, and there would be no need to spend a lot of time observing.
It should be noted that the longer you observe, the greater the possibility of exposure.
It was also because of this that Lu Zhong discovered that someone outside was plotting against him.
Then through some of the other party's actions, it seemed a little more careless than at the beginning.
Considering that the other party is a cautious person, there is only one reason for being careless, and that is that he feels that enough information has been collected. Continuing to observe may only be out of caution, but the time to take action is likely to be in the near future.
It's obviously impossible to do it during the day, it's too risky.
"With this person's caution, the time to take action must be late at night or close to early morning. During this time, people are least vigilant, and the patrol intervals of the law enforcement team will also become wider, making it very convenient to take action." Lu Zhong considered that the law enforcement team was not very reliable.
Maybe he would be too lazy to check the situation nearby, "We still have to consider the possibility that the other party will sneak in and attack just after the law enforcement team leaves, or some time before the law enforcement team is coming."
"That's all. If you look carefully, I don't have no chance to fight back..."
Lu Zhong crumpled the talisman paper full of writing into a ball and looked out the window with a little more confidence.
…
The situation of being secretly watched lasted for three more days.
On the fourth day, Lu Zhong found that the other party had not appeared.
"Are you going back to recharge your batteries and prepare for action tonight?"
A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, with an expectant expression on his face.
"I guess this person would never have imagined that the target he was about to attack would already know his plan, right? I really want to see his shocked expression when he learned all this..."
An ordinary day spent in disguise again.
At the fifth watch of the night, as Lu Zhong expected, the man appeared.
Lying on the bed, he observed with his aura technique and discovered that the other party's sneaking technique was really able to make no sound.
If he hadn't discovered it in advance, even if he was looking from the window at this moment, he probably wouldn't have been able to find it.
It's a pity now, haha...
After a faint sound of landing, the man had already sneaked into the bedroom.
But what greeted him was a sudden burst of sword light.
