Chapter 106: The old beast's arrangement
Who is this young man with a sword on his back?
Are you here to find the corpse raiser?
A thought flashed through Chen Yushu's mind, and he used the Qi-gazing technique without making any sound.
It was immediately noticed that the young man had extremely rich blood and energy, and that his cultivation level had reached the level of three incense sticks.
Taoism and martial arts cultivation!
This person is actually a Taoist and martial artist.
He is not only a warrior, but also a powerful Taoist practitioner with a unique and inherited cultivation method.
Three levels of incense sticks.
He is at the same level as Taoist Master Ma of Qingsong Temple and Geomancer Lu Yizi, not to mention that he is also a martial arts expert. Judging from the thickness of the energy and blood emanating from his body, he is only slightly weaker than his master, Shopkeeper Su.
In other words, he is still a real internal force realm warrior.
This person also seemed to be very alert. Almost at the moment when Chen Yushu used the qi-reading technique, he seemed to have noticed it and turned his head.
Chen Yushu quickly withdrew the Qi-gazing technique, but did not look away, because he knew that such a strong man was extremely keen on observing others.
Just like himself, ever since he improved his throwing skills to perfection and his eyesight reached a certain limit, he became countless times more sensitive to all kinds of sights.
He would notice anyone who looked at him.
He estimated that even if the man before him was not as perceptive as he was, he was definitely a vigilant person. That was why he only withdrew his Qi-gazing technique but did not look away. Then, when the man turned his gaze towards him, he quickly said, "Who are you looking for?"
“My senior brother, Zhao Yufeng.
He is also the owner of this household.
You are a neighbor, but you have to go out."
The man smiled heartily and then spoke.
"Yes, Brother Zhao is your senior brother?"
Chen Yushu nodded first, then asked back in confusion.
"Yes, my name is Qi Jichuan, and I'm a wandering wanderer."
The young man with a sword on his back responded.
"It turns out he's Brother Zhao's junior fellow apprentice."
Chen Yushu feigned realization and responded, thinking that these two men were indeed fellow apprentices, both claiming to be wandering wanderers. He quickly added, "My name is Chen Yushu, and I'm an apprentice at a pharmacy."
After saying that, he didn't dare to argue any further and walked straight towards the pharmacy.
I was surprised in my heart.
This corpse-raiser is already difficult enough to deal with, especially the one he raises. Just passing by his house can cause the house-guarding talisman to move abnormally. It is definitely very ferocious.
Now, there's also a mysterious sword-carrying man who has only three incense sticks of cultivation and is also a martial artist at the inner strength level...
Chen Yushu always felt that something big was about to happen.
"I just hope that all this will not affect me."
Chen Yushu muttered to himself and once again considered moving.
When they arrived at the pharmacy, many apprentices had already arrived, and Chen Yushu met Wang Kui head-on.
But now, the other party has become much more honest, perhaps knowing that his identity is different, and no longer has the arrogance as before.
Although Chen Yushu still had some resentment about the previous incident, he did not deliberately target him anymore. Of course, the main reason was that he did not have the talisman on him.
Since he was in a hurry to draw the talismans yesterday, he naturally chose to draw some talismans that might be useful first.
The lucky charm is naturally not included in this list.
After passing each other, Chen Yushu went straight to the second floor.
Master Su Ming is not here.
Chen Yushu has gotten used to this.
The master has his own residence in Jianghuan Town, and sometimes he won’t come over if he is delayed by other things.
It was because Chen Yushu had just become a disciple during this period, and there was a lot of traffic in Jianghuan Town recently, so he had to spend more time in charge.
Chen Yushu didn't care that his master was not there. He started practicing martial arts in the open space.
Eight steps to chase the cicada, eighteen consecutive sword strikes.
These are the only two martial arts he currently masters.
With no other skills to practice, I can only focus on these two martial arts.
Of course, after he got tired of practicing, he would also practice the Yin-walking technique.
The Secret of Fu Yin, the Seven Star Steps, the Secret of Hua Sha and the Art of Wang Qi.
These four techniques.
Among them, the Fuyin Jue has achieved great success, the Wangqi Shu has achieved minor success, and the Qixing Bu and Huasha Jue have reached the mastery level.
Having experienced the power of the Fu Yin Jue at the great success level, he naturally paid great attention to the Seven Star Steps and the Hua Sha Jue.
Practice diligently whenever you have time.
Time passed as he practiced.
“Have you heard?
Someone died in Qianjia Village."
Chen Yushu had just finished his meal and sat down when a burst of discussion came over.
Um?
“What’s going on?
There are quite a few people from Qianjia Village in our pharmacy."
The one who spoke was the apprentice Lu Liang, and the one who just spoke was Xue Ming, both of whom were apprentices that Chen Yushu had known before.
The two of them also lived with him on a large bunk bed.
While Lu Liang was speaking, his eyes quickly glanced at the people sitting at a table not far away.
That table was basically occupied by people from Qianjia Village, with five or six people sitting at each table.
Of course, not everyone in Qianjia Village has the surname Qian. There are also a few people with different surnames, such as Lu Yuan, an apprentice who makes medicine, and Xu Lihao, an apprentice doctor, who are actually also from Qianjia Village.
At this time, they were also discussing this matter.
“It’s not clear at this point.
I only heard that a hunter died.
When the body was found, there were two holes on the neck and the blood had been almost drained from the body.”
One of them said this with a look of horror on his face.
"I'm afraid this isn't..."
"Is the situation 'stuck'?"
Someone said something tentatively.
The scene suddenly became silent.
This phenomenon is very likely to happen.
Chen Yushu was shocked and inexplicably thought of the small hill in the ghost cave.
No, maybe the guy inside ran out?
The one who died was still the hunter.
There are not many hunters in Qianjia Village.
Chen Yushu was beginning to wonder when someone at the Qianjiacun table asked, "Who died?"
"Not sure yet."
One person shook his head, and several people looked inexplicably relieved.
Not knowing is actually a good thing.
Because if it really was their family member, someone from Qianjia Village would definitely come to inform them.
Now that there is no one, it must not be their family.
Of course, I still feel a little uneasy.
After all, if things really get out of hand, more than one person might get hurt.
After lunch, Chen Yushu went to the backyard to practice the Medicine King Posture.
Of course, while practicing the standing meditation, the Medicine King Locking Power Technique was also running rapidly in his body.
After practicing the standing meditation twice, the Medicine King Locking Power in his body also circulated twice.
Strands of sweat and some tiny impurities were also discharged from his body.
Chen Yushu took the opportunity to take a shower by the well.
At this moment, Qian Qian came over and said excitedly, "Yushu, guess how much I sold those two precious herbs for?"
"Oh? Looks like it was sold for a high price?"
Chen Yushu couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes, I found a buyer for the blackleaf grass and sold it for fifty taels of silver. The price was moderate and not too much of a premium.
But I specifically found Mr. Wang from Zhenxi to buy this Tenglong grass, and sold it for a high price of one hundred and thirty taels of silver.
This adds up to 180 taels of silver, and each of us can get 90 taels of silver."
Qian Qian said as he handed over a small black bag.
Chen Yushu reached out to take it, and felt its weight. He quickly opened it and found twelve silver ingots inside.
Each piece is worth ten taels of silver, which makes a total of one hundred and twenty taels.
"Master Qian, what are you doing?"
Chen Yushu frowned and asked.
"This time, the reason we were able to sell so much silver was mainly due to the Tenglong grass you picked, so you deserve a bigger share.
Sixty taels of silver is enough for me."
Qian Qian said quickly.
"The agreed share is what it is.
If you had dug out this precious medicine, I wouldn't be polite either."
Chen Yushu grabbed three silver ingots and handed them over, continuing, "Didn't you say last time that you would teach me swordsmanship? I'm not going to be polite with you. I want to learn now."
"good!"
After hearing this, Qian Qian stopped being polite and took the silver cushion.
"That's right, Master Qian.
Have you heard about the death in Qianjia Village?"
Then, Chen Yushu thought about it, and was still worried about his previous discovery in the Ghost Cave, so he asked directly.
“Yes, I heard about it.
The one who died was one of the two people who led us into the mountains.
Hunter Qian Hu.
Some people say that it was caused by zombies.
But I think it was just an accident.
Because there is a kind of vampire bat on Tianyuan Mountain that specializes in biting people's necks. Once bitten, it will suck blood crazily.
I guess Qian Hu was targeted by a vampire bat and was bitten to death."
Qian Qian nodded first, then quickly shook his head and said.
"Yeah?"
Chen Yushu frowned, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.
Why not someone else, but Qian Hu who went up the mountain with them?
He knew that in addition to the ghost lady, there was another even more terrifying being lying in the ghost cave.
If that person makes a fuss, it will definitely not be a good thing.
But he couldn't say this to others.
At this time, Qian Qian directly called him to an open space in the backyard and began to teach him knife skills.
“My sword technique, called Crazy Blade, prioritizes speed.
As the speed of this sword technique increases, the power of the sword will naturally become stronger."
Qian Qian first conducted an experiment. He stood down with the same knife and swung it at normal speed. He chopped a piece of hardwood and only broke the surface layer.
But when he increased his speed to twice the original speed.
puff!
He chopped the entire hardwood into two halves.
The contrast effect is quite amazing.
Then, he began to practice the Gale Sword Technique.
First he performed it quickly, then held the sword horizontally, sweeping forward quickly like a violent storm.
Then, he practiced each move slowly, trying his best to follow Chen Yushu's teachings.
“Okay, you perform the sword move first.
Once you have mastered the moves, I will teach you the specific method of using the energy."
After Qian Qian finished practicing, he spoke.
When Chen Yushu was watching just now, he used his hands as a knife and started to gesture, while silently memorizing in his mind.
Qian Qian performed it the second time, deliberately moving slowly. With his good memory, he remembered it immediately.
Hearing this, he just nodded, then took out the long sword and quickly performed it. Every move was like a perfect replica, without any redundancy.
Apart from the fact that he was not as fast and smooth as him due to insufficient strength and lack of the method to wield his strength, they were almost identical.
Qian Qian stayed where he was.
He originally thought that he could only teach the other party some sword techniques this afternoon. After all, this sword technique had at least 27 moves and more than 300 variations. The slightest mistake would make a huge difference.
As a result, the other party learned the entire set of sword techniques after just watching it twice.
If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't yet mastered the method of exerting his strength, in his opinion, just looking at the perfection of his swordsmanship, he would be no weaker than him.
"Have you learned this sword technique?"
After thinking for a long time, Qian Qian finally asked.
"No."
Chen Yushu shook his head and asked, "Is there any problem?"
“No…no…”
This is a big problem.
But he couldn't say this. He had practiced the sword technique for nearly a month, but others learned it just by watching it once or twice. He felt really hurt, but he also knew very well that Chen Yushu had never been exposed to martial arts before.
Even the standing meditation was taught by him.
Even though he later became the disciple of Shopkeeper Su, this Kuangfeng Sword Technique was unique to him. It was a skill he won in a bet with a wandering knight while traveling outside. Even if Shopkeeper Su was more skilled in martial arts, he would never be able to master it.
So, this was really Chen Yushu's first time coming into contact with it, his first time learning...
"I'll teach you how to use your energy."
Soon, he figured it out.
This is something I cannot envy.
Talent is determined by God. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being born in a bad family and not being given good talent. Having the opportunity to teach a genius may not be a bad thing.
Then, he began to instruct the students step by step on how to use the power for each sword technique.
After Chen Yushu wrote them down one by one, he began to practice.
“This Kuangfeng Sword Technique is indeed worthy of its name Kuangfeng.
This method of using strength, once combined with sword techniques, can immediately significantly increase my sword-swinging speed.
In other words, the already fast sword technique will become even faster if combined with the use of strength.
Although its power is not as strong as the Eighteen-Sword Combo, the sword force is superimposed.
However, the Kuangfeng Sword Technique can continuously increase the speed of swinging the sword, thereby indirectly increasing the power of the sword technique. If it is practiced to a high level, the power may not necessarily be weakened.
The key is that when facing more enemies, you will have greater advantages."
Chen Yushu quickly analyzed the difference between the Eighteen-Strike Sword Technique and the Gale Sword Technique.
In terms of power, the eighteen consecutive swords are naturally stronger. With the superposition of sword power, the power will also increase exponentially.
But once the Gale Sword Technique is used, it will sweep out like a violent storm, and it has advantages whether facing a single enemy or a group attack.
It is said that the only martial art in the world that cannot be defeated is speed.
The increased speed of this sword technique means that if ordinary people cannot break his sword light and sword curtain, they will be slaughtered.
Soon, he finished performing the Gale Sword Technique.
There is almost no mistake or omission.
Introduction to the Gale Sword Technique!
Qian Qian, who was standing by, also felt a little numb when he saw this. He just taught it a few more times, and after confirming that the other party had fully mastered it, he left alone.
In everything, we are afraid of comparison.
I am not afraid of comparing goods, but I am afraid of comparing people.
Even though he is no longer at the age of comparison, the huge gap after comparison is more hurtful.
He also needs some time to adjust and accept this fact.
…
"Brother, are you sure that the old beast is in this town?"
In a slightly dim room, a young man sat on a coffin, and on the other side stood a slightly tall figure.
The two people were Qi Jichuan, the sword-carrying man, and Zhao Yufeng, the corpse-raiser.
“Twenty years ago, after the old beast disappeared, I have been tracking him down.
Finally, a year ago, after much investigation, I discovered that he had indeed appeared in this area.
You know this old beast, he always has a plan before doing anything.
If he didn't really have a plan, he would never show up so easily.
That's why I rented a house here and wanted to follow the news to confirm his whereabouts.
Unfortunately, he was too secretive. Even though I found several clues about him, he disappeared and I couldn't confirm his true whereabouts.
Until recently, when rumors of a Grandmaster's tomb spread in Jianghuan Town, I took a look and made a new discovery."
Zhao Yufeng looked at his junior brother and spoke.
"Grandmaster's Cemetery? Is it related to that old beast?"
Qi Jichuan's expression changed, and he said, "I remember that twenty years ago, he was injured in a battle with Yin Jiuquan, and his life span was greatly reduced. He was about to die, so he said that he wanted to find a place to be buried..."
“There are traces of his attack.
But it is not his tomb.
The Grandmaster's tomb does exist. It is a century-old tomb. Originally, it was just an ordinary Feng Shui tomb, but after the old beast's intervention, it has become a place where evil and evil gather. Not to mention ghosts and spirits, there are a lot of dead people in it.
This is also why, even though the story of this tomb has spread so widely, no one dares to enter it."
Zhao Yufeng nodded affirmatively, then continued, "Furthermore, do you think, given the old beast's character, he would leave his grudge unrevenged? Or would he be willing to sit and die alone?"
“Impossible.
The old beast never wants to suffer any loss.
Yin Jiuquan is still alive and well, it is impossible for him to do nothing.
Oh, right, I remember that he spent a lot of money to exchange a corpse scripture with someone in that secret place..."
Qi Jichuan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly opened his eyes wide, "He wants to live a second life?
In another form!"
“That’s what I guessed too.
Although the old beast's character is not very good, his abilities are quite good.
Therefore, if he wanted to build a tomb for himself, he would definitely choose Sanchuan Lake, a place with excellent feng shui.
After all, if you want to repair a corpse, you must first raise the corpse and raise it into an immortal corpse.
In an extremely yin place, an immortal corpse cannot be raised. Only an immortal corpse can retain consciousness and allow him to live a second life.
The century-old tomb had become a poor and evil place after his hands, and certainly could not be his hiding place.
That's why I couldn't find any trace of him before.
But this time, I went to take a look at the tomb. Not only did I see some traces of his actions, but I also remembered the terrain conditions that the old beast had mentioned.
Yang is hidden within Yin.
Around a place of extreme yin, there must be something extremely yang.
If he had something extremely yang to protect him, he could also raise an immortal corpse.
You can also use the yin energy of extremely yin places to quickly grow the immortal corpse.
So I guess that century-old tomb might not be his real hiding place, but he must be nearby."
Zhao Yufeng said in a deep voice.
"So that's why you wrote to me and summoned me?"
Qi Jichuan asked repeatedly.
"Your sister's revenge must be avenged."
Zhao Yufeng said.
"It's been twenty years, and you still haven't let it go."
Qi Jichuan was silent for a while and sighed.
“I can’t let it go.
I will never let go of that scene.”
Zhao Yufeng shook his head violently, then looked at him and said, "Junior brother, no matter what, I must give it a try this time.
Next, I need your help."
“Of course I want to avenge my sister.
You tell me what to do.”
Qi Jichuan Liandao.
“Break the formation.
Break his extremely yin place.
Then he naturally can’t hide it anymore.”
…
When Chen Yushu arrived at Ningjing Academy, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.
Practicing martial arts does waste some time.
Especially since he had just learned a martial art and was very excited about it.
However, he is very clear about the importance of reading.
Just like the Kuangfeng Sword Technique, if his reading level was not high enough, how could he have learned it so easily?
He has a photographic memory and can master what he has learned quickly, all of which are based on the fact that his reading level has reached the state of enlightenment.
Not to mention, the level of his reading is also related to the level of his meditation.
It can be said that you don’t have to practice martial arts, but you cannot not read.
Chen Yushu glanced at the attribute panel.
Gale Blade Skill: Mastery (3/200)
It was worth the hour he spent practicing.
Afterwards, he entered the Wenchang Pavilion, quickly found a few books and began to read.
One, two, three...
Chen Yushu quickly finished reading the several books in his hands.
Just as I was about to change a few books to read, my eyes suddenly fixed.
He noticed that an old man was walking into Wenchang Pavilion, but behind the old man, he was carrying someone.
A 'person' with a blue face and a red glow all over his body.
