Chapter 46: The Great Law of Examination [Seeking votes and reading]
Sunny courtyard.
There was still quite a long time before dark, and Qiu Zhen was not idle either. He began to stand in a stance, visualizing the [Xunfeng Fairy Deer Picture], and practicing the [Xunfeng Fairy Deer Fist].
Generally speaking, when one has reached perfect stage in practicing the exercises and has his Qi and blood surging and abundant, it will take two to three days to practice the Five Animal Exercises of Gods and Demons to stabilize the Qi and blood in the body.
But Qiu Zhen doesn't need it.
Last time, he stabilized his Qi and blood in one day and developed the [Vajra Demon Ape Muscle].
After cultivating into a Yin God and possessing a powerful spiritual consciousness, his control over his body became even stronger. He visualized the martial arts techniques, and it became easier for him to stabilize his Qi and blood. He was able to cultivate the [Xunfeng Fairy Deer Tendon] in half a day.
However, he still concealed his incompetence in the An family and did not surprise Manager An.
It is enough to highlight the potential of a person with a good "fate". As long as he continues to grow, the An family and Yaowang Valley will definitely support him. If he reveals too much of the rest and steals too much limelight, it will be superfluous and will only cause trouble for himself.
"Snapped!"
Qiu Zhen was standing in a stance when his body suddenly underwent strange changes. His bulging muscles trembled slightly and his body made dense noises, like firecrackers, crackling non-stop.
His whole body is slightly bent, like a fully drawn bowstring, full of explosive power.
"Clap clap~"
Qiu Zhen practiced the [Five Animal Exercises of Gods and Demons] on the spot. His punches were powerful and domineering, which was a surprising change from the previous day.
This is the result of mastering the [Xunfeng Fairy Deer Tendons]. The tendons throughout the body can be stretched and contracted powerfully, the bursts are fierce, and the strength is greatly increased.
With [Xunfeng Immortal Deer Tendon], whether traveling or fighting, his speed and burst are comparable to others who have practiced martial arts for several years.
In other words, [Xunfeng Immortal Deer Tendon] itself is a secret martial arts technique of body movement.
Of course, for Qiu Zhen, the greatest significance is that after achieving the second-level martial artist, his "Yin Shen" will also become stronger.
Immediately, Qiu Zhen sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating into a trance, practicing the [Qingwei Sitting Exercise], refining the essence in his body, mixing the seven spirits' mental power, and strengthening the "Yin God".
Before I knew it, it was dusk.
A white figure came from the back hill of Xiangyang Courtyard to Qiu Zhen's room, tiptoeing as if afraid of disturbing anything.
"Bai Shu, come in."
Bai Zhu appeared in front of Qiu Zhen in a flash, standing in human form. He was very happy and kept sobbing.
"I came to you because I have something to tell you."
Qiu Zhen touched the little fox's head:
"Wait a minute, I may have to fight with someone, you stay here to protect me, no one is allowed to get close."
Qiu Zhen's tone was quite serious.
When the Yin Spirit leaves the body to fight with others, the physical body becomes a lump of wood, an empty frame, and can be easily harmed.
The biographies in the An family miscellaneous books recorded many tragic events of monks with profound supernatural powers, whose souls traveled thousands of miles at night and returned without their physical bodies, becoming ghosts or gods.
Qiu really didn't want this scene to happen.
"Ouch~~"
Bai Zhu patted his chest with his little paws and made a pledge to Qiu Zhen that he would protect the law well and not let anyone get close.
"Ok!"
Qiu Zhen nodded slightly and looked up at the sky.
The night was deep and dark.
People in the countryside generally go to bed early, and many of them have already fallen asleep at this time.
"It's almost time."
When Qiu Zhen returned to the village during the day, he talked with Uncle Li for a long time and carefully found out the information of the customers who usually bought large quantities of fish.
According to Captain Wu of the Demon Suppression Division, Master Yanshan attacked the butcheries, fishmongers, and chefs of the city's restaurants yesterday. Continuing the reasoning, it is not difficult to conclude that Master Yanshan's targets will definitely continue to expand and he will target those big customers who frequently buy large quantities of fish.
The "Master Yanshan" was good at nightmare magic. He must have tortured Uncle Li and other fishermen before, and he also knew the news about the big customers who often bought fish.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Qiu Zhen took out a red brush, drew a cat on yellow paper, and then cut it out with scissors.
Face east and stand with your feet in a straight line.
Qiu Zhen held the yellow paper cat picture in his left hand, bent the ring finger and little finger of his right hand inward, stretched out the middle finger and index finger, pinched the ring finger and little finger with the thumb, pinched the [Dream Making Secret], slightly closed his eyes, and silently recited the "Incarnation Hair Changing Spell":
"Cat, cat, cat, showing off your might;
The mighty divine spell is so spiritual and magical."
Chant the mantra three times.
Qiu Zhen held the yellow paper cat picture in his hand, lay down on the pillow, and gradually fell asleep.
"Huhuhu~"
A breeze blew.
A black cat flew out from above Qiu Zhen's head and rushed towards the village. The black cat was Qiu Zhen's Yin spirit.
After transforming into a cat, he felt that the world around him had changed a lot.
Xiangyang Village is still the same Xiangyang Village, but every household is emitting a colorful and distorted halo, some big, some small, some strong, some weak, and so on.
These halos are nothing but the villagers’ dream world.
Qiu Zhen, who turned into a black cat, could get into the villagers' dreams and take a look at what was going on with just a thought.
After a few attempts, Qiu Zhen stopped trying.
The reason is simple. Children are fine because their imaginations run wild and their dreams contain all kinds of strange and fixed things, which are fantastic and bizarre. However, the dreams of "adults" are much more real, and they contain a lot of village gossip, and they can eat as much gossip as they want.
In fact, some people's dreams are too real. Once they enter the dream, they see a white blur in front of their eyes, and they keep fighting with all kinds of tricks.
Qiu Zhen had some serious business to attend to, so without further delay, the Yin Shen Black Cat flew to Mr. Li's house.
In Xiangyang Village, the family that buys the most fish to eat is naturally Mr. Li's family.
His target was also focused on Mr. Li's home.
As soon as he arrived at Mr. Li's residence, Qiu Zhen saw a huge dream scene with "colorful mist" in the back house of Li's residence.
"What a violent dream!"
Qiu Zhen was delighted, and the black cat jumped into the "colorful mist" dream.
It took about ten breaths.
The "colorful misty dream" gradually faded away, and a black cat flew out of the dream, with a ball of black gas on its claws.
"Little devil, you're in my hands and you still want to run away."
Qiu Zhen transformed into a black cat, grasping the "black air" in his hand, and was overjoyed.
As expected, Master Yanshan exorcised the ghost by targeting a wealthy customer who often bought fish, and he was caught red-handed.
After Qiu Zhen caught the little ghost, he did not say a word and immediately imagined the scene of "Fengdu Hell" in his mind. He performed an illusion on the little ghost in his hand, dragged it into the "Fengdu Illusion", and tortured the little ghost for information.
In Taoism, there is a magic spell called "Kaozhao Dafa".
The so-called "examination and summoning" means torture, forced confession, and confession.
Taoist priests of the talisman school use this method to torture and extract confessions from ghosts, gods, and evil spirits that cause harm to a certain area, examine their faults, and impose accurate punishment on them.
Why is it necessary to impose precise penalties?
The reason is simple. In ancient times, talisman schools such as the "Beidi Fa" had extremely strict requirements on magicians and judges. Punishment that was too high or too low would be detrimental to merit. Therefore, the "Kaoshao Dafa" was one of the compulsory spells for Taoist priests of the ancient talisman lineage.
Qiu Zhen doesn't know the "Examination Summoning Technique", but as a "Yin Shen Master", he is born with the ability to perform illusions. A mere ghost cannot resist him at all and will soon reveal the information of its master.
A few miles away, Aoki Castle Station.
"Boss, we caught the little devil."
A martial artist from the Demon Suppression Division wearing armor and carrying a cloth bag came excitedly to a side courtyard.
Wu Chuanfeng, the demon-suppressing lieutenant, stood up happily and laughed loudly:
"Xiao Ye, how about the ghost incense and ghost catching bag?"
“Easy to use!”
Master Ye was full of praise:
"Captain Wu, I didn't expect you to have so many magical instruments and treasures that don't require spiritual consciousness to activate. They are so useful."
Wu Chuanfeng smiled upon hearing this and said proudly:
"These treasures were given by Commander Wei, so they are naturally very useful. This evil exorcist thought that the Demon Suppression Department in a small place couldn't do anything to him for a while. Haha, we are from the capital, and we have many ways to deal with him."
After saying that, Wu Chuanfeng took out a talisman from his sleeve and handed it to the martial artist named Ye.
"Examination of the summoning talisman!"
The martial artist named Ye's eyes lit up and he was inexplicably surprised.
"Not bad!"
Wu Chuanfeng smiled and nodded, saying:
"Xiao Ye, you come from a Taoist temple, do you know how to take the examination of the Great Summoning Technique?"
"I can't do that, I can't do that, boss. I'm not a Taoist, I really can't do that!"
The martial artist named Ye shook his head repeatedly, looking very taboo, as if he had heard something unlucky.
"Okay, I don't doubt your cultivation."
Wu Chuanfeng shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"You haven't practiced Taoism, but you should know the method of testing and summoning. You can interrogate this little ghost."
Master Ye was a little embarrassed, but finally nodded and said:
"Boss, I don't practice Taoism, so I can't activate my spiritual consciousness. Even if I have the test to summon you, I'm afraid it will take some time, and I don't know if I can succeed in the end."
"It doesn't matter, you try it first."
