Once you get started with the scolding technique, the next practice is to proceed step by step without any obstacles.
In just a few days, with sporadic practice after meals, Chen Li was able to recite the mantra to the point of being silent. Except for the slight tremor in the air when he recited the mantra, there was very little movement.
It's not that he doesn't want to be more diligent, it's just that the 'rebuke technique' is quite mentally draining. As long as it's done three times in a row, he'll be dizzy, his eyes will be filled with stars, and he'll be groggy for most of the day.
…
"roll!"
Chen Li looked at the evil-proofing talisman that failed again today. He threw the useless talisman into the trash can, then silently recited a spell, and then uttered the fairy sound again.
Rebuke +1
After looking at the game panel, he quickly turned it off, then walked back to the bedroom to meditate to regain his breath.
It has been a week since the vessel from the Utensil Gate was launched into the sky, but there has been no news from the front line. During this period, Chen Li went to Tangfang City and found that the entire shantytown and even Greenhefang began to become a little restless, and the business was also declining.
There was a lot of difference all of a sudden.
He never went out again and stayed at home practicing.
His Qi training speed is now getting faster and faster. Especially after his proficiency in the longevity technique was upgraded to expert three days ago, his training speed has increased again. The fourth level of Qi training is not far away.
…
Autumn is getting stronger, with a hint of desolation.
Even the branches and leaves of the big tree at the door began to turn yellow, and the dead leaves fell in the wind.
In the evening, Zhou Hong suddenly came to Chen Li: "It's been a little unsafe outside recently. You'd better not go out these days."
Chen Li nodded, feeling a little worried, and asked, "Hasn't the news come yet?"
"Well, Luanluo City is far away from here after all... But these are none of our business. Just pay attention to your safety." After Zhou Hong finished speaking, she left quickly.
Chen Li looked at the sky, which was all blue.
He sighed.
"What a troubled time!"
…
Zhou Hong’s reminder didn’t last long.
Only the next day, shocking news came.
Overnight, all the people from the artifact doors in Green River Square quietly evacuated.
Chen Li was also stunned when he heard the news, and lamented that the king's flag was changing on the city wall, coming and going in a hurry. However, what he didn't know was that this was just the appetizer of today's chaos.
Towards noon, an even more shocking rumor began to spread rapidly.
During the war, the mountain gate was about to be breached, and the Jindan Patriarch of the Immortality Sect, who had been rumored to have had an accident, suddenly appeared in anger at a critical moment, and dragged several people into the water before he died.
After a great battle, the Jindan Patriarchs of the Immortality Sect and the Weapon Sect died one after another, and the other two were seriously injured, and their lives and deaths are unknown.
…
Chen Li looked outside the room through the crack in the door.
There are people running to Fangshi everywhere outside.
The shanty town is in chaos again, almost as it was last time. Although the utensil gate has been evacuated, there are still some things in the market that cannot be taken away, and there are still many things that can be taken away but are not valued.
For example, various precious materials for decoration, various valuable wooden furniture... are still a considerable amount of wealth for many casual cultivators in shantytowns.
"There is no peace in this damn damn place." Chen Li couldn't help cursing in his mind.
"We can't stay here any longer!"
After chaos there must be killing, not to mention that now that the entire shanty town has no mountains above its head, it will only be more chaotic than last time.
Chen Li's heart was beating violently. He looked at it for a while, then walked to the kitchen and stuffed some recently smoked dried meat into the bag.
He planned to go to the wild to avoid the limelight first, and then come back when the shanty town became more stable.
"Bah bang bang!"
"Fellow Daoist Chen, open the door quickly."
Chen Li hurried over and opened the door. Lin Gui kept wiping sweat at the door.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, is there something wrong?" Chen Li said.
"Well, now that everyone from the Utensil Sect has left, I don't know if the Changsheng Sect will send people to take care of this city again. There is going to be chaos here. Now we neighbors can only huddle together to keep warm and help each other.
Come on, everyone, come and get together in the afternoon, I’ll let you know first that I’m going to find Fellow Daoist Zhou now.” Lin Gui said with a solemn expression.
"Okay!" Chen Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
After Lin Gui finished speaking, he went to knock on Zhou Hong's door. Zhou Hong glanced at Chen Li and nodded.
He then went to other houses on the street.
Chen Li returned to the room, his brows furrowed and his mind heavy. He felt a little regretful about his promise to the other party just now, and then a ruthless look flashed across his face.
"Forget it, I don't believe how dangerous it would be to stay here!"
What's more, the outdoors may not be safer than here.
…
After lunch.
When Chen Li walked into Lin Gui's house, there were already three people inside.
An old man and a couple.
They are all acquaintances who live on the same street, and they would greet each other when they see each other. Those who are still here and have not gone to Fangshi are undoubtedly serious people.
The old man's name is Wen Yuquan, and the couple's names are Fang Jiutang and Yang Bingzhi.
"I've met fellow Taoists."
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you're welcome, please sit down!" The old man said with a gentle smile and cupped his hands.
The young Fang Jiutang was much colder and nodded to Chen Li. It was not until Yang Bingzhi pulled off his sleeves angrily that he reluctantly bowed his hands in greeting.
Chen Li didn't care and found a seat to sit down: "Fellow Daoist Wen, who else is not here?"
"We still need Fellow Daoist Zhou and Fellow Daoist Qiao." Wen Yuquan said with a smile.
"Is this Fellow Taoist Qiao Guanyuan?" Chen Li felt sour in his heart. He was even a little jealous of Lin Gui's skill in dancing. He had only been here for a few days and he was familiar with everyone around him. How different was he himself. Except for his neighbors, everyone else was familiar with him.
It was just a nod of acquaintance, just a familiar face.
One of them is Lin Gui.
"It's none other than Fellow Daoist Qiao!" Wen Yuquan said.
While they were talking, Zhou Hong came in chatting and laughing with Qiao Guanyuan, followed by Lin Gui.
Chen Li glanced at Zhou Hong in surprise, when did the two of them become so familiar with each other?
"You are all neighbors on the same street. We all know each other, so I won't introduce you to each other. Without further ado, let's discuss how to help each other in the future." Lin Gui said.
Not taking drugs... No, when he was taking drugs, he was still very normal.
Fang Jiutang and Yang Bingzhi chatted affectionately, and when they heard the words, they said aloud: "What is there to discuss? If there is danger, please go over and help."
"It's inappropriate. What should we do if we don't have time?" Wen Yuquan stood up and said loudly: "In the chaos last time, not to mention those who died in Fangshi, just in the area where we live, hundreds of people died.
."
"Are there so many people living together? Can we all survive?" Fang Jiutang said.
"I don't think it's better to send a few people to patrol every night, but there are still a few people here. It's best to include the entire street and help each other from hundreds of households." Qiao Guanyuan suddenly said with a smile.
