The battlefield outside the territory has a difference between day and night. During the day, the light is gray and the wind and chill are slightly weaker.
The clouds in the sky accumulate, and most of the time they are covered with thick leaden gray. Occasionally, there is a gap to reveal the sunlight, which is also pale in color. When it shines on the body, it does not feel warm, but is cold to the bones.
Three months later, Zhang Wenfeng walked out of the room and said hello to Mr. You who was sunbathing in the small yard in front.
With the Yin Weapon Talisman and the Ghost Card on his body, he has adapted to the unique gravity influence of this place. Using the tricks that Mo Ye taught him long ago, he can convert the ubiquitous Yin Qi into the required energy. Compared with when he was in the human world,
My practice was a lot of trouble.
He only needs to maintain his daily homework and practice, and keep his cultivation slowly improving.
He spends most of his time trying to figure out how several swords will fit in with the local environment, so that he can choose one of them to understand the power of the rules. After repeated attempts and comparisons, he eliminated the Lihuo Sword Intent and the Silk-Tangled Sword Intent, leaving three swords.
They all had their own ideas, leaving him unable to make up his mind for a while.
"The water element belongs to Yin, and the wood element is impartial and suitable for you. However, the sword intention of light and cold is the element of gold. Although it can attract the mixed golden evil breath in the air here and enhance the power of the sword intention, it conflicts with the coldness of yin. Waiting for you
Realize that there will be trouble at the critical moment. If you exclude it from your choices, you can’t go wrong no matter how you choose the remaining two.”
Dreaming is always clear to the beholder, so he can give his own suggestions directly.
Zhang Wenfeng thought and nodded slightly. He actually preferred the Guanghan Sword Intent. When he fought with the Devil's Girl, he used the Guanghan Sword Intent. Even if he didn't realize the power of the rules, with the golden evil aura pulling him,
The power of the sword was greatly increased, and the woman who beheaded the demon was in unspeakable pain.
"I choose to comprehend the sword intention of flowing water. I heard from Jiu Ming that there are two rivers of Styx that are out of the ground near Gucheng. The water from the spring that he entertained me last time was collected and condensed by several maids from the spring of the underground river of Styx.
Practicing swordsmanship by the water helps me understand the rules, and there are very few trees on battlefields outside the territory, let alone the thousand-year-old spiritual plants I need."
Zhang Wenfeng decisively gave up the Deadwood Sword Intent as the breakthrough point for understanding the rules for the first time. With so many thoughts and ideas, he made a choice and his heart was like a mirror, motionless.
"That's just right. I need to absorb the yin essence of the Styx River to strengthen the cultivation of my soul power."
You Mengchang smiled.
There was a faint ripple caused by knocking on the door outside. Chang You Meng glanced at it casually and said: "It's Captain Huercha. He knocks on the door once a month. I ignored him the first two times and he knocked five times.
Wait for a while and then leave by yourself."
"Go ahead and open the door. If we go out with him, we can save a lot of things."
Zhang Wenfeng gave an order, and Liande, who was waiting at the side, quickly flew over, opened the courtyard door, and invited Captain Huercha in, who was slightly surprised and thought he had gone to the wrong door.
The palm talisman is a human monk, and it is a normal thing to subdue an ancient tree sprite to become a boy, but he did not react for a while.
Captain Huercha walked into the courtyard gate and saluted the palm talisman on the steps of the cave.
Zhang Wenfeng smiled in return and invited Captain Huercha to sit down in the cave hall. He said that he planned to go to the confluence of the Styx River fifty miles outside the city to practice and asked Captain Huercha to accompany him.
Huercha agreed wholeheartedly. He hadn't gone out much in the past three months. The deputy commander of Nine Lives had greeted his superior, the patrol officer. His team of Yin soldiers staying in the city to practice would be counted as a mission, and they would receive credit for their achievements.
It is a proper courtesy for him to knock on the door every month.
Three days later, Huercha led his Yin soldiers to escort the Talisman Master and his party out of the city on foot, which attracted the attention and speculation of many passing ghost cultivators. They saw a ghost sign emitting a dim black light hanging from the waist of the human Taoist priest. Most of the ghost cultivators
Look away to avoid bumping into the unusual human Taoist priest.
There are ghost cultivators from aristocratic families in the city. Those with powerful families cheer before going out, and the scene is quite grand.
However, when they met face to face with human Taoist priests escorted by official Yin soldiers, they had to get out of the way.
In foreign battlefields, where military merit is the most important thing, the black ghost card hung by the human Taoist priest is equivalent to the status of a Yin soldier patrol officer. Even the official patrol officer must be half-courteous, but he does not have the actual power to control the army.
I don’t know what kind of sacred place it is? How can a living person achieve this?
Courtesy and honor.
"When the palm talisman is used, all ghosts will avoid it!"
The dark-skinned young man behind him said a joke, this time he was really powerful, and he also meant to remind him.
Zhang Wenfeng sent a message and replied: "False fame is like a floating cloud to me, and my heart is clean when I pass by."
He was just a passer-by who had stayed and experienced in the battlefield outside the territory. How could he cling to the height of his status? For him, what Nine Lives gave him was convenience and undisturbed tranquility. How many pounds did he have?
Ji Liang knows it well.
After more than fifty miles, we quickly arrived. Two underground Styx rivers emerged from here and met. The water was rushing and majestic. The cold mist filled the air dozens of feet high, and the clouds above the sky seemed particularly thick.
Along both sides of the river, there are many ghosts who come here to build stone huts to practice.
The swarthy boy communicated a few words with Taoist Zhang.
Zhang Wenfeng turned to Huercha and asked Huercha to collect the ceremonial ceremony, and asked: "Captain Huercha, I need to find a place where the water essence is rich and the wind is gentle, and it can be used as a training place. You are familiar with this place, please do something for me."
Huercha pointed to the right and said: "Twenty miles downstream, there is a bend in the river, which may be suitable for the Talisman Master to practice."
After traveling for more than twenty miles, the dark-skinned young man compared the road and was very satisfied with this place. It avoided the disturbance of many ghosts and was a backwater bay where wind and energy could be stored. It was suitable for his daily practice and also took into account the evil wind tempering.
Soul power.
Zhang Wenfeng said he would stay here for three to five years. Huercha ordered his underworld soldiers to bulldoze two dilapidated mud and stone courtyards at the height of the river bend and rebuild a residence suitable for them to live in and shelter from wind and rain. He stayed with Zhang Fu every step of the way.
to move around.
From then on, Zhang Wenfeng held a sword and walked along the river during the day, trying to figure out the rules of the sword.
I worked diligently on my homework in the evening, maintained a small improvement in my cultivation, and became familiar with the various uses of mind power combined with merit in battlefields outside the territory.
His merits have long been restored to their original state, but due to the impact of You Lao's revenge, nearly 20% of his merits have been lost. It seems that there is no possibility of recovery, which makes him heartbroken. He will slowly find ways to accumulate more in the future.
You Mengchang chose to live in a house near the river and never left the house.
Huercha was puzzled. This was the first time he had seen a follower who did not serve his master anytime and anywhere. Fortunately, Liande was running back and forth, busy and cautious, waiting in front of the talisman master.
Three years passed quickly, and since You Mengchang had not left seclusion, Zhang Wenfeng would not propose leaving.
He continued to practice by wielding his sword on the broad River Styx every day, or silently meditating on the practice with his sword in hand, for several years, even in strong winds and bad weather. His hard work paid off, and he gradually came into contact with the mysterious power of the ethereal fluctuations.
It's as gentle as water, appearing and disappearing, and it's a very annoying little thing.
