On the back of the jade plaque, there are complex cloud patterns engraved, and the four words "Zhou Tiangang Jin" are written.
"Could it be...a Jade Slip for Conveying Kung Fu!?"
He had only seen similar things like this in various travel notes of casual cultivators. This was the first time he had actually seen it. They were used by some sects to teach martial arts or transmit secret information, and they had to be viewed with spiritual sense.
"How about giving it a try?"
Chen Li put the jade slip against his forehead, concentrated his mind, and projected it into it.
Soon a large amount of information suddenly appeared in my mind.
There was not much information in the jade slips, only a thousand words of chat. Chen Li read it for a few minutes and then quit.
This is a secret method used by foundation-building monks.
After practicing it, you can condense strong body-protecting Qi all over your body with a single thought, which can be used for defense or attack.
As long as it is practiced, even if it is the first level of foundation building, the defensive power can be comparable to the first-level and seventh-level body protection skills. When it comes to attacking, the power of a pair of palms can be compared to a high-grade magic weapon.
And reaching the third level of foundation building is equivalent to turning on the first-level and ninth-level golden light body protection at any time.
"No wonder, I haven't seen any magic talismans used. The defense is so strong. It's a pity that this secret method cannot be used until foundation building."
Chen Li was a little regretful. He put the jade slips aside and continued to count. The talismans were almost all first-level talismans. There were only two suspected second-level talismans. Chen Li glanced at them and stopped paying attention. He didn't recognize such things at first.
It's dangerous again.
Don't dare to try it easily until you understand it thoroughly.
There are three types of elixirs in the storage bag.
They are Qi Gathering Pill, Bigu Pill, and Muscle Renewing Bone Pill respectively.
It's a pity that apart from Chen Li, who knows a little bit about Bigu Dan, I also don't know anything about the rest.
"But the name of this muscle-building and bone-building elixir seems to be a healing elixir..." Chen Lizhi thought to himself.
At this time, there was a lot of noise and people outside. He quickly reached out and put everything back into the storage bag.
At this moment, the itching of the wound had gradually subsided. Chen Li sensed it with his consciousness and found that the broken bone had completely healed, and there were not many traces left. He moved his right hand, except that it was slightly stiff and jerky.
It's no longer a serious problem.
"If I take care of myself normally, I should be able to recover as before."
Chen Li quickly changed out of his bloody clothes, used a cleaning technique on himself, and walked out of the door calmly.
"Oh my god, the founder of the Zhou family was killed?"
"Right at the gate of the city, even the head was blown off. The blood was spread all over the floor, and the person's brain was splattered several feet away. You have never seen that scene. It's tragic, it's really too tragic, it's too horrible to see.
ah!"
"Wait, I'm going to take a look!"
"I can't see it. It has been blocked for a long time. The three elders and the sect leader of the Changsheng Sect have come over, and even the foundation-building ancestors from other families have come."
The crowd was talking a lot.
There was fear and panic in his eyes, mixed with curiosity and excitement.
In the minds of casual cultivators, Foundation Establishment is as unattainable as a mountain. It has a long lifespan and terrifying strength. It is like a noble to a pariah. It is a figure on another level entirely.
But now, he was beaten to death.
Not only beaten to death.
Even his head was blown off!
"Tell me, is there going to be another war?"
"I can't tell! Alas, there has been no peace in the past few years."
…
"Fellow Daoist Chen, what happened?" Zhang Yan heard the commotion and walked out. Seeing that Chen Li was there, he came over to inquire about the news.
"I was also confused. I heard they said that the ancestor of the Zhou family was killed at the gate of the city!" Chen Li said with a solemn expression.
"Hiss!" Zhang Yan took a breath when he heard this, and his face changed: "This is really... this is a great monk of foundation building."
"Hey, do you think this time we, the Green River Fang people, will be implicated again?" Chen Li pretended to be worried: "The death of the Zhou family member last time was suspected of being done by the Green River Fang people."
"Isn't this possible? Isn't this already over?" Zhang Yan was a little unsure in his heart. He glanced around furtively and lowered his voice and said: "We from Green River Square are practicing Qi and practicing casual cultivation. How can we be so big?"
You have the ability to do such a big thing!"
He couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved.
It's a pity that the death of a Zhou family member would involve them.
But the death of Zhuji is such a big scapegoat.
Their shoulders are weak and they really can't carry them.
This is deadly.
"I hope so! Alas, in this world, we honest people who live a down-to-earth life are always the ones who suffer." Chen Li sighed.
Zhang Yan gave Chen Li a slightly strange look when he heard this.
He is an honest man, he admits it.
But is Chen Li an honest person?
That's up for debate.
Chen Li didn't pay attention to Zhang Yan's eyes and made secret calculations in his mind.
The Changsheng Sect plus the six vassal families had only ten foundations in total. The death of one foundation was a huge matter, and obviously it would not just let it go. Although Zhou Xutang died, there were still some beginnings and ends that needed to be dealt with.
Gu Mengqing...naturally cannot repay kindness with hatred.
In a sense, this time is equivalent to saving my life.
Without him coming all the way to warn us, it’s hard to say whether this disaster could have been safely overcome, or at least he wouldn’t be standing here with such a calm look on his face.
However, several people in Lancheng who were involved in this matter must be cleaned up.
This matter cannot be delayed for too long.
The sooner the better!
Those who are late will change!
Chen Li watched the excitement for a while, chatted for a few words, and then said goodbye to Zhang Yan.
He closed the courtyard door, used the traction technique, and went straight to the bedroom. He moved the cabinets and slates blocking the passage, jumped down quickly, and used the traction technique to restore everything outside, and then quickly rushed to the outside along the tunnel.
.
The huge boulder that originally blocked the exit had been shattered by Zhou Hong with a magic weapon, revealing a large, narrow hole.
"This bitch, can't survive?" Chen Li was startled.
Fortunately, there were many vines and weeds around. If you were not careful, it would be difficult to tell that there was a hole here. He quickly used the traction technique to pull away the surrounding gravel and soil and seal the hole again.
"Let's make do with it for the time being, and then we can deal with it properly after we settle down!"
He took out a map of the surrounding area, identified the location of Xialan City, put on an ordinary robe, then changed his face, and then walked slowly like a normal person on the road, and walked for more than ten miles.
After he was far away from Luanluo City and saw that no one was following him, he began to recite the spell silently and cast the wind control technique. Soon, his body rose into the air and flew quickly towards the distance.
…
"Have those bodies been disposed of?"
"City Lord, they are all buried in mass graves. These people are so brave. They dared to provoke the Zhou family and even escaped here. Fortunately, the City Lord has a sharp eye and saw through it at a glance."
The city lord of Lan City, whose surname is Liu Mingfan, is an inner disciple of the Changsheng Sect. He is in his fifties this year, but he looks to be over sixty years old.
Even if the inner sect disciples are the proud ones of heaven, not everyone can build the foundation. Most inner sect disciples can apply for release as long as they are over 40 years old, in the late stage of Qi training, and have no hope of building the foundation.
Liu Fan failed twice to build the foundation. Although he was lucky enough to survive, his vitality was severely damaged. He had completely given up on his career long ago and focused more on spreading his business, running a family business, and enjoying the world.
Become rich.
"Rogue cultivators from a small place are short-sighted and lucky after all." Liu Fan took a sip of spiritual tea and said with a smile: "I thought it would be fine if I hid here, but the Ji-building family really wants to mobilize their strength to investigate this person.
, Unless you hide in the mountains and forests and never show your face again, who can..."
Only halfway through his words, Liu Fan suddenly felt startled and his expression changed.
"who?"
He quickly took out the magic weapon in his hand.
But the next moment.
He was hit hard on the back of the head, and before he passed out, a voice came faintly.
"What a keen spiritual sense!"
After knocking the two of them unconscious, searching for their magical weapons and storage bags, Chen Li played a mute note.
As the invisible light shield enveloped the room, the invisibility technique was disturbed and quickly dissipated, revealing his figure. He didn't care and slapped City Master Liu twice.
City Master Liu groaned in pain, woke up, and secretly complained, forcing himself to calm down and said: "My skills are not as good as those of others. If you want to rob money, you can do it yourself, fellow Taoist, please save your life."
"I only came here for one thing." Chen Li said expressionlessly: "To tell you the truth, the Zhou family is finished and Zhou Xutang is dead. Tell me how you discovered that group and how you informed the Zhou family.
Look at me carefully! Besides you, who else knows about this matter?"
"Impossible, this is impossible..." City Lord Liu muttered to himself as if struck by lightning when he heard that Zhou Xutang had died.
Hearing this, he knew that there was no way he could be spared, and he couldn't help but regret in his heart. Why he was so flattering and attentive to the Zhou family's orders had nothing to do with him. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world either.
Chen Li slapped her twice again.
"If you tell me honestly, you can save yourself the trouble. If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being cruel. I heard you have many heirs."
"Sir, senior, this has nothing to do with them, I said it, I said it." City Master Liu shouted loudly, with tears and runny nose streaming down his face.
…
After interrogating City Lord Liu, knock him out again and wake up another person.
The confession was correct.
Half an hour later.
Chen Li used his invisibility technique, walked out of the door covered in blood, and quickly rushed to another place.
In half a day, Chen Li ran back and forth and killed eight people in total, including the adulterer who had an affair with Lu Qian, members of the Zhou family who were stationed here, and casual cultivators who were monitoring Zhao Lin and others.
Although he knew that this was definitely not safe, it at least made the investigation more difficult.
He took a cleansing charm for himself, put on his robe again, took out a high-grade flying sword, and flew back slowly, looking at the pastoral scenery below, Chen Li silently thought about his thoughts.
Flying near Luanluo City, he saw several foundation-building monks flying around in the air, seemingly searching for something?
He flew down quickly.
After walking to the shantytown at the foot of the mountain and asking around, I found out that Luanluo City was under martial law.
"This time things really got serious!" Chen Li was secretly shocked.
He looked up at the sun and saw that it was already heading west. It was almost dusk. He gave up the idea of going to the city to see the situation and hurried to the place agreed with Zhou Hong without stopping. After delaying for so long, he must have already waited.
Anxious.
The second hilltop to the west of Luanluo Mountain, although adjacent to Luanluo Mountain, was more than ten miles away. He did not dare to use flying to attract the attention of Foundation Builder, and even walked at the speed of an ordinary person.
Only when there was no one in a remote place, he would speed up and take two quick steps.
Until nightfall.
Chen Licai rushed to the agreed place.
"Zhou Hong! Where are you? You can come out now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a red shadow swooped from behind the big tree and fell into Chen Li's arms like a bird in the forest.
"Why did it take so long? I thought, I thought..." Zhou Hong's eyes turned red as she spoke, and her voice sounded like she was crying.
Chen Li did not speak immediately, but took a note of silence before speaking:
"Why? Don't worry, your man is very lucky! Let me tell you some good news. Something happened to Zhou Xutang. He was killed at the gate of the city. We don't need to escape."
"What! You..." Zhou Hong stared at her watery eyes with a look of disbelief.
"What are you thinking? Of course I didn't do this. As a Qi practitioner, how could I possibly kill a strong foundation-builder?" It wasn't that Chen Li couldn't trust Zhou Hong, but he didn't want to increase her psychological burden.
Zhou Hong thought the same thing in her mind and breathed a sigh of relief. The haze in her heart had dissipated: "God has opened my eyes. It's great. This time it's finally over."
The two hugged each other and had a private conversation.
Then he headed back home.
The night was like water, and the roars of various wild beasts in the forest kept coming and going. The two of them were walking hand in hand on the rugged mountain road.
"Remember your first time in the forest?"
"Of course I remember. I was seriously injured at that time and you carried me to the forest overnight."
"What were you afraid of back then!" Zhou Hong teased.
Chen Li's old face blushed slightly when he heard this: "I just haven't been here before, what's wrong with being cautious?"
"I've always felt that you are a little different from ordinary casual cultivators?" Zhou Hong thought for a while and asked.
"What's different?"
"Some of them can't be explained, but they are just different."
The two of them chatted about each other.
When we arrived at Luanluo City, it was already late at night. Zhou Xutang's body at the gate of the city was long gone, and even the blood stains had been cleaned away.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
"We will live in the city and return when we go out!" Chen Li took out an amulet, stuffed it into the other person's hand, and cupped his hands.
The monk guarding the door glanced at it, quickly stuffed it back into his sleeve pocket, and said with a slightly calm expression: "I saw someone suspicious."
"Never!"
"go in."
…
After several days of martial law in Luanluo City, things became calm again.
But Chen made it clear.
This matter is not over yet. The death of a foundation-building monk cannot pass away so peacefully. There must be an undercurrent surging behind it.
During this period, Gu Mengqing never showed up and had obviously gone out to avoid the limelight.
Five days later, Chen Li paid a visit to the ancestor of the Yu family to find out what he was talking about.
"It's most likely that this group of rebel families did this!" Yu Cheng said worriedly: "Oh, their side also died of a foundation some time ago. They probably suspected that our side did it. This time it is revenge."
What a coincidence!
Chen Li opened his mouth:
"Did the Changsheng Sect really kill one of their foundation builders?"
"How could the Changsheng Sect admit this? It's a bunch of confusion. I don't think this situation will be stable for long." Yu Cheng sighed.
After leaving Yu's house, Chen Li walked on the road, feeling both happy and worried.
Fortunately, someone took the blame for him.
What is worrying is that chaos will arise in the Immortality Realm again.
