Chapter 111: Qitian Hunyuan Ruyi Stick, you forced me to do it
Qitian Temple?!
When Li Che heard the name, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Thinking of the Xinyuan Temple, the image of the peerless monkey who turned the world upside down, stirred the sky, and made all the immortals and gods bow their heads emerged in my mind!
Great Sage?! Li Che took a deep breath, and every inch of his flesh and blood seemed to be trembling. It was just a name, but it made him feel as if even his soul was throbbing.
The Third Prince, the Three-Eyed Lord, and now... Qi Tian...
The overlapping myths of the two lives overlapped like black clouds, with rolling electric snakes and roaring thunder, impacting his mind.
After a long while, Li Che finally let out a breath.
"Qitian Temple... has its tradition collapsed and been destroyed?"
Li Che looked at Shangguan Qinghong. This girl knew a lot of things, like a treasure trove of knowledge.
If you don't understand something, just ask her.
Shangguan Qinghong shook his head and cracked melon seeds while saying, "Although the Divine Sect of the ancient times was in ruins and its tradition was divided, it cannot be considered destroyed..."
"The strange temple of the Three Pure Ones that Qitian Temple suppressed is still there. The riot of the temple gods five hundred years ago was so sudden that it caught the already weakened Qitian Temple off guard..."
"The area occupied by that strange temple has now become a place of great danger. The strange palace has expanded for thousands of miles and is now uninhabited. The Qitian City has also become a place of revelry for monsters and evil spirits."
"However, the three sects that were separated from the Qitian Temple are all determined to fight their way back to Qitian City... Ruyi Sect, Tiangang Tower, and the Xinyuan Temple in our Jinguang City all want to take over Qitian City again."
"I think it's an exaggeration to say that the Qitian Temple was revitalized. After all, it's a thing of the past. It's probably... for the inheritance of the temple god Qitian left behind by the Qitian Temple, as well as the Three Pure Ones-level magic weapon."
Shangguan Qinghong shook her head. It had been five hundred years since the collapse of Qitian Temple. Five hundred years... How long was that? It was not an exaggeration to call it a sanghai tsangtian.
Five hundred years have passed, and all the Taoist sentiments have become a thing of the past. What still makes the descendants remember is probably only the interests.
"A magical weapon of the Three Purities level?" Li Che's body trembled.
"Ruyi Jingu Bang?"
Blurted out subconsciously.
"Eh? You know? Have you heard of it?" Shangguan Qinghong was a little surprised. She didn't expect Li Che to actually spit out this name. After all, the information about Qitian Temple was too old. Most of it was only recorded in ancient books, and ordinary cultivators basically didn't know about it.
"That Three Pure Ones' divine weapon is called the 'Qitian Hunyuan Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick'! It ranks seventh in the 'Great Jing Qintian Divine Weapon List' that the Grand Supervisor personally arranged!"
"Only the seventh?"
Li Che was immediately dissatisfied. How could the weapon of my Great Sage be so low! Shangguan Qinghong immediately covered her mouth and laughed: "It's not low. The Grand Supervisor said it directly on the cover page of the Divine Weapon List. The top ten of the Divine Weapon List have no distinction between strong and weak or high and low. It mainly depends on the strength of the person who controlled the weapon at that time."
Hearing this, Li Che nodded.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to him: "That is to say... the Qitian Stick still has no owner?"
Shangguan Qinghong gave Li Che a strange look and said, "Yes, the Qitian Weird Temple is located in Shizhou. Nowadays, Shizhou has basically become the territory of monsters and evil spirits because of the riot of the Three Pure Ones. The Qitian Ancient City is even occupied by a monster king comparable to the Divine Embryo Realm..."
"The Qitian Staff was hidden back in the Qitian Guique when the Qitian Temple's Divine Tribulation Monk died. It is unknown when it will reappear... Therefore, it has not been obtained yet."
"Brother Li, you are not coveting this stick, are you?"
Li Che's eyes flickered when he heard this. He naturally had ambitions...
"Your cultivation is too weak now. Let alone entering the Qitian Ancient City, even if you get close, you will probably be torn to pieces by monsters and evil spirits..."
"Moreover, if you don't have enough cultivation, you won't be able to control the magic weapon at the level of the Three Purities. Instead, you will be controlled by the magic weapon..."
Shangguan Qinghong wanted to dissuade Li Che from having such an idea.
Li Che has the confidence to have such ambitions, but it just takes some time to develop.
I smiled but didn't go too deep into the topic.
Shangguan Qinghong sighed with emotion: "Every time I read ancient books, I learned that when the Qitian Temple was at its peak, it was unrivaled in the world and divided the world with the imperial court. How powerful and domineering it was, it was the best among all the divine sects, but it could not escape the passage of time and would also encounter great changes..."
"It fell apart overnight, and now it can only become a relic remembered in history books."
"So, this world... is too dangerous. No one can guarantee that they can survive safely. When the Qitian Temple was at its peak, there were powerful 'Divine Tribulation' masters who surpassed the Divine Embryo Realm in charge of the temple!"
"But it still fell apart and turned into dust."
Shangguan Qinghong sighed and started to eat melon seeds sadly.
Li Che couldn't help but sigh as well. Indeed... this world is indeed too dangerous.
And, most importantly, the dead temple gods in those strange temples seemed to overlap with the myths in his mind.
This made him feel more and more anxious for no apparent reason.
"I am too weak now. There is no point in thinking about these things. I just need to live my life well every day."
"I just want to be with my wife and daughter and live well in this world."
Li Che said softly.
Shangguan Qinghong's eyes fluctuated, and her heart seemed to be moved by Li Che's words. Her long eyelashes trembled. She glanced at Li Che and pursed her red lips.
"Brother Li..."
Shangguan Qinghong shouted.
Li Che looked over in confusion.
"I wish you were my father." Shangguan Qinghong pursed her lips, her voice unusually a little depressed.
Li Che was stunned, and then speechless.
This girl, when they met for the first time, was completely looking for a blind date and coveting his body.
Now, you actually want to be his daughter? Women... are so fickle! Shangguan Qinghong seemed to come to her senses after she finished speaking. She felt a little embarrassed, and her pretty face instantly turned red like a red iron block. She stuffed a handful of melon seeds into Li Che's hand, turned around and slipped away.
…
…
The Bull Demon has appeared! Qin Haonan, who was still following Li Che while drinking in Liuxiang Pavilion, was stunned when he heard the news.
"Bull Demon? Show up?"
He stared at the gray-faced spy who brought the news, disbelief in his eyes.
Qin Haonan actually thought that Li Che was the Bull Demon, mainly based on Zhang Xiangyang's hint, so he subconsciously felt that Li Che was too consistent with the Bull Demon's identity.
Although there is a gap in strength, the strength shown by Li Che is not at all matched with Niu Mo. However, as a member of the Qin family, Qin Haonan knows that simply looking at the surface strength is inaccurate.
Some unconventional methods of concealing one's breath can help hide one's cultivation level.
Therefore, Qin Haonan has never stopped speculating about Li Che.
But today, according to the news from the gray-faced spy, Qin Haonan saw Li Che enter the Imperial Observatory with his own eyes.
We have to admit a fact.
"It seems that Li Che is really not a bull demon..."
Qin Haonan sat down on the chair, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
Who the hell is that Bull Demon?
Who was the person who killed Yu Qing?
The thought of shooting and killing the great master Qin Yuqing from dozens of miles away was simply a nightmare and made people feel uneasy.
"The ancestor also went to the remnant of the Tang family, but the remnant of the Tang family insisted that it was not him who did it and there was no grudge between them. It is indeed impossible for a person like him to shoot a woman in a high-profile manner."
"Could it really be that Cao Guang...Cao Guang is not dead?"
Qin Haonan felt a headache. In such a big city, with the power of the Qin family, how could they not find out who they wanted to investigate? "The million-dollar gambling house...colluded with the Corpse God Cult?"
As the gray-faced spy continued to report, Qin Haonan suddenly narrowed his eyes, but his expression did not change much.
After all, the Jinguan City seems to be calm and peaceful now.
But in fact, undercurrents have already been surging in the mainland.
The major aristocratic families in the capital city found it easier to accept the infiltration of the Corpse God Cult than they had imagined, because the benefits they gained were real.
And the temptation to break through the bottleneck of cultivation is really too great.
The power held by the Corpse God Cult is extremely impressive. Although the imperial court has been suppressing the Corpse God Cult, the vassal prince Ji Moli's efforts to quell the rebellion have been hindered, allowing the Corpse God Cult to become more rampant.
It's not just Jinguang Prefecture, the Corpse God Cult seems to have infiltrated every prefecture in Yunzhou.
The power of the Corpse God Cult has already moved out of its original base of development and started to erode the territory of the Dajing Dynasty bit by bit.
They even wanted to emulate the Qitian Temple, which was at its peak three thousand years ago, to occupy the six provinces and twelve states of the world and share the world with the imperial court! The noble families and the imperial court were not of the same mind. Perhaps during the heyday of Dajing, the noble families in various states and prefectures did not dare to make any changes and would be convinced.
But when the tiger begins to decline, various parties will have other ideas.
"You mean... the Corpse God Cult's Ten Capital Corpse God Envoy was killed? The Ten Capital Corpse God Envoy has the body of a Cursed Iron Corpse. It is impossible to kill him if you are not a Grandmaster. It is even more difficult for a Godly Master to kill the Cursed Iron Corpse!"
"This Bull Demon... can actually do this?!"
Qin Haonan's heart was shaken.
The Cursed Iron Corpse was notoriously smelly and tough, and was able to withstand the damage and escape even when facing a master martial artist.
As a result, one of the Ten Cities Corpse God Envoys was beaten to death.
"How cruel! A million-dollar gambling house, dozens of Qi meridian warriors were all chopped to pieces?"
Qin Haonan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as he listened to the description of the million-dollar gambling house tragedy.
Now, he became more and more certain that Niu Mo and Li Che had nothing in common.
Putting aside this alibi, just his observation of Li Che in these days is about this wood carving master who lives a simple life, goes to work, goes home, and loves his family.
How could it be a terrifying person like Niu Mo who killed and dismembered people and was extremely cruel? Qin Haonan stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the Imperial Observatory Treasure Tower standing on the cliff.
"Walk!"
Qin Haonan finally chose to give up monitoring Li Che.
Such an honest and upright person.
Don't waste time monitoring.

百万赌坊被牛魔凶徒屠戮的消息，很快就在接下来几日时间内沉寂了下去。
虽然偶会成为茶楼说书人的谈资，但大多数百姓还是回归到了正常的生活中，这等凶残之事，他们也接触不到。
府城神卫军发布了对凶徒牛魔的一等通缉令，举报牛魔踪迹者，可得白银五百两，斩牛魔头颅者，可得赏银两千两！春意盎然，带来杨柳清风。
李澈路过告示栏，看着其上对牛魔的通缉令，面容上没有多大的变化。
“这百万赌坊可是勾结尸神教，牛魔乃是为民除害……却依旧上了通缉令，尸神教你们管不了……还不许牛魔管了？”
李澈眸光深邃。
没有多做停留，迈步越过了告示栏，沐浴荡漾的春风，来到了在府城中购买的工坊小院。
关门，落栓。
【棋圣】道果震动，天地棋盘顿时于他面前浮现，平铺整个小院。
光芒闪烁，在那天地棋盘的正中央，有一枚“尸咒之印’，散发着浓烈至极的尸气。
“八极尸咒之印……”
李澈眸光冰冷，若非那位尸神使所提及，他根本不知道，这枚尸咒之印档次这枚高。
显然，曹光在府城联系的那位尸神教的强者，地位肯定也不低。
能以八极尸咒之印为联系纽带，曹光想要卖好的，尸神教强者也定然掌握有八极尸咒之印。
原本李澈还疑惑，为何三大帮派之一的渔帮会盯上他。
现在看来，与这枚尸咒之印应该有很大的关系，对方显然不是感应到尸咒之印，因为李澈一直以天地棋盘封锁，对方无法感知。
那对方派遣旗下的黑蛇帮盯梢，大抵是推测曹光当初应该是打算将这枚八极尸咒之印，打在曦曦身上。
所以，他们盯的是曦曦。
想要查到是谁取走了八极尸咒之印……
“尸神教，尸咒之印……”
李澈眸光淡漠，带着毫无保留的杀机。
在一6一9一书一吧一看无一错版本！
“你们找我……可我也在找你们……”
抬起手，点落在那尸咒之印上。
霎时，仿佛有漆黑如墨的尸气释放出同心圆扩散的尸气浪潮，朝着整个棋盘扩散。
一次次扩散之后，顿时有两道黑色的散发着尸气的棋子，在棋盘中浮现。
李澈抬起头，望向了院子之外。
“黑蛇帮……”
那两位具备尸咒之印的武夫，正是来自工坊小院外，黑蛇帮派前来盯梢他的人。
“只要位于我十丈范围之内，八极尸咒之印就能将拥有尸咒之印之人显现出来……”
“尸神教之人在我眼中，无所遁形。”
李澈眸光冰冷。
对于尸神教，他没有好感，有的只有杀机。
毕竟，对方觊觎他的女儿，且掀起千婴祭这等惨无人道的恶事，无比罪恶……
该杀！
当杀！
他不会有丝毫的手软。
镇庙司、神卫军放长线钓大鱼，李澈却懒得管这些。
不讲武德的是尸神教，欲要用打入李正然体内的尸咒之印，通过传染这等卑劣手段对付曦曦。
那他李澈……
又需要恪守什么武德？“是你们先逼我的啊……”
李澈眼眸中涌现出癫狂与暴戾。
随手一扫，天地棋盘扩散，笼罩四周，将小院屏蔽。
李澈伫立起身，浑身气血陡然沸腾起来，乌黑发丝肆意飞扬，筋骨嘣鸣响彻！
“呼——！”
“吸——！”
李澈张口，一呼一吸，搅动院落之中气流，伴着呜咽呼啸声，宛如长龙席卷！
哗啦啦……
耳畔，血液奔腾流动之声，绵绵不绝！
如今的李澈，气血何等磅礴，玄脉达到巅峰，气息贯通天灵及脚掌，整个人好似完全与天地勾连！李澈好似进入到了忘我之境，内气在体内奔腾流转，形成了周天之数，好似将躯体上一个又一个窍穴给打通了般。
心灵好似飘飞而出，感受着肉身之上的每一寸变化，肌肤毛孔的收缩绽放，内脏蠕动震颤的过程。
每一幕都好似在他的心灵之中映照！如有神助！
轰——！忽而，李澈一步踏出，五指如钩攥握，卷起五道匹练汇聚成拳，猛地打出，背后好似有斑斓猛虎咆哮而出。
正是被他改良成为上乘武功的白虎乱风拳！
白虎好似栩栩如生，由喷薄出体外的内气所凝聚！
吼！白虎仰天咆哮，霎时，活灵活现，宛若被赋予了精气神，成了真正的生灵般！这是白虎乱风拳的化境意境！
神脉武夫，需要做的便是将一门武功修炼到化境，融于自身精气神中。
而这一步对于拥有【龙象金刚】这等增幅横炼天赋的李澈而言，根本不算什么问题！血肉之中，好似有一声虎啸，筋骨齐齐发出了爆鸣，内气运转的速度，变得愈发的快速，迸发的劲力也得到极大的增强。
五感、六识都全面提升，隐约间，好似要冲出肉身，形成一种类似神识一般的感知力量。
院落之中，李澈收功伫立，整个人好似一尊大凶猛虎匍匐着，随着眼眸睁开，气血自周身迸发，近乎成为实质般的气血，好似一朵莲花般盛放开来。
狱莲！
大景镇庙狱莲神脉法！这是李澈从曹光那儿得到的神脉修行之法！
如今，正式迈出坚实一步，武道踏足神脉，可望宗师之境！李澈却未曾停歇。
剑指撕开了空气，刺惊枪吐出被他攥握，舞动之间，枪影好似刀光！排山倒海般的气浪，骤然在院落之内呼啸而起！
三眼忿怒真君三刃刀，这门神性武学，李澈掌握的愈发的熟稔，彻底稳固大成！收刀而立，无数的刀光才是慢慢的在周遭消散而去，切割的地上的木屑支离破碎。
“神脉，成了！”
……
……
渔帮作为金光府城三大帮派，势力范围极大，九龙江沿岸，几乎都是其势力范围。
府城很大，百姓极多，有许多从府城之外乡镇、下级城池赶赴而来的百姓们，都会来九龙江畔的渔帮来寻工。
因为靠近大江，江中鱼肥，搬运网罗上来的鱼儿水产，箩筐的搬运，卖体力的活就非常多，故而在来此务工百姓极多。
渔帮便是掌管这一带的最大势力，哪怕是黑蛟帮与丐帮，在这个区域，都无法与渔帮相媲美。
府城的势力从来都是分阶层的，如渔帮之上有五大世家及五大门派，世家门派之上又有镇庙司、钦天监、城主府和神宗分宗，再往上便是神宗正宗！而渔帮之下，同样有诸多小势力。
例如黑蛇帮、百万赌坊等等，都隶属于渔帮势力。
白浪堂，便是渔帮在码头上的管辖势力，不弱于百万赌坊，甚至还要强上一些。
此刻，白浪堂堂主及诸多执事所在的大院之内。
一声凄厉的惨嚎声响彻，浓郁的血腥弥漫扩散开来。
片刻后，一道身躯佝偻的中年男子，从内屋走了出来，五指抓着个妇人的头发，将其从内堂中拖出，妇人满身的血肉都被啃噬了精光，早已没了气息。
中年男子将妇人抓出来后，便扔在了地上，取出布帕擦拭着手上的鲜血。
“老墨，将这女人尸体扔九龙江喂鱼去。”
佝偻的中年男子笑着说道，露出满嘴猩红的牙齿。
一位执事抱拳，默不作声的便拖着女尸离去。
“尸神教的养尸术果然神奇，我距离宗师境界又更近了一步，等我突破宗师，便能挤入渔帮高层话事了。”
佝偻男子坐在太师椅上，端起杯泡好的热茶，便轻轻饮了一口。
底下两位副堂主，则是开始恭贺起来。
“对了堂主，最近……渔帮下辖势力死了不少人，前日，流沙堂堂主被钉杀在了屋内，流沙堂上下十数位气脉高手，俱是被碎尸……”
“昨日，长海楼的楼主被人捏爆了脑袋……”
“我们……我们是否要收敛一些？”
副堂主有些瑟瑟发抖的说道。
白浪堂堂主喝了口茶，啃食着茶叶，清新一下口气，冷笑道：“牛魔，都是那牛魔做的……自诩英雄的牛魔！”
“狗一样的东西，仗着神出鬼没的身法，肆意行凶……”
“根据情报，这牛魔在飞雷城中冒出来的时候，就自诩英雄……”
“在小城里还能逞一逞英雄，在府城想要当英雄，能有什么好结果？”
“这个时代，老子不杀这些屁民，这些屁民也会遇到别的人，他牛魔能杀光所有人吗？这个时代的恶多不胜数，他牛魔看不惯，能全部除了吗？”
“老子吃个人怎么了？！”
“老子不吃，有的是人吃！”
白浪堂堂主冷笑起来。
“他这样肆意杀人，真以为是英雄了？神卫军、镇庙司可都不认，告示栏上，他的悬赏现在都比江洋大盗高阳来的更高了！”
副堂主愈发瑟瑟：“堂主，话说是这样说……”
“但……”
白浪堂堂主眯起眼：“怕什么，真当渔帮是吃素的？杀了这么多渔帮麾下势力的高手，渔帮的宗师们早就盯上他了……”
"The Divine Guards and the strong men from the Temple Guarding Department have also been chasing him."
"If the Bull Demon dares to come and kill me, I just need to fight to the death to entangle him, and the Bull Demon will not be able to escape even if he has wings!"
The leader of Bailang Hall just ate a woman, and had a breakthrough in corpse-raising skills. He felt that he was almost invincible.
It is in a period of breakthrough and expansion where anyone can have a 50-50 chance of success.
His words were full of confidence and arrogance.
But as he spoke, he did not get a response from the deputy hall master beside him, and was stunned for a moment.
Turn your head...
But he found that he seemed to have grown taller all of a sudden, and could actually overlook the deputy hall master's crown.
His eyes rolled around, and he saw a hunched body with its head twisted off, with blood spurting out of its neck.
Isn't this his body?
Ah——! The head of Bailang Hall wanted to scream, but found that no sound could be made. The world seemed to collapse and turned dark in an instant.
Before he completely lost consciousness.
I only saw a cute cow mask.
Bull Demon?
Bull Demon!!!
