One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 658 Adding fuel to the fire, bronze candlestick

Zhang Chulan was not like some college graduates who subconsciously wanted to argue when others gave him advice. He did not argue and accepted it readily: "Don't worry, Brother Xiao, I won't lose sight of the main point."

Xiao Zizai was right to remind him, so why should Zhang Chulan refute it?

The killing power of [Reverse Eight Directions] is indeed greater than that of the Golden Light Spell, and its concealment is even better than that of the Yang Five Thunders Method.

Without knowing his background, anyone who fights him for the first time will be fooled, especially given Zhang Chulan's smooth and shameless character.

It is very likely that he will be killed in the first encounter.

Reversing the Eight Directions is so useful that it can be said to be the best killing technique, so Xiao Zizai reminded Zhang Chulan not to be too obsessed with it and miss the right path.

Because no matter how powerful it is to turn the eight directions upside down, it is still a technique, not the right way to behave.

The concepts of Reversing the Eight Directions and the Golden Light Mantra are exactly the opposite.

The essence of the Golden Light Mantra is to temper one's own life cultivation. The protective golden light is just a byproduct obtained in combination with the rituals during practice, and it is not the ultimate goal of practicing the Golden Light Mantra.

The Eight Directions Reversal is indeed a very powerful way to use Qi, but it has little effect on improving one's life skills. The Ghost Hand lineage has its own Qi training method, but it is mediocre and has nothing special about it.

Back then, Feng Baobao enlightened Xu Xiang, and the Qi training method that Xu Xiang learned was stronger than that of the Ghost Hand lineage.

Reversing the Eight Directions is like an invincible sword or boxing technique, but it is not an extremely sophisticated internal energy technique.

No matter how well you practice, you can only be strong for a while, but you cannot achieve immortality.

Therefore, in the Buddhist and Taoist tradition whose goal is to become an immortal or a Buddha, reversing the eight directions is just a technique, not the right way.

Zhang Chulan seems to be out of touch on weekdays, but he is actually upright and fierce in his heart, and he knows what he should and should not do.

Seeing that Zhang Chulan's expression was sincere and that he really listened to what he said, Xiao Zizai said no more.

To be honest, the devouring sac in his hand is the most important thing in his mind now.

  You will die of fullness if you eat this snack!

Such delicious food cannot be eaten casually.

Xiao Zizai put away the Devouring Sac and said, "Let's go. Let's go back first. I need to fast and bathe to experience the essence of life."

Wang Ye just felt his scalp tingling. Even though he knew Xiao Zizai's character well, it was still hard for him to get used to the pleasure he felt when he mentioned killing people.

  ······

Three days after Stephen White's death, Dosido Gambino disappeared and all his bodyguards were killed.

Three days after Gambino disappeared, Shuichi Senbon, the heir of Inari Shrine, died in Akemi Shrine. His death was strange, his face was hideous, and bright strange flowers bloomed from his wounds.

After two strangers of high status died in succession, the atmosphere in Karakura Town immediately became tense and the intensity of the battle escalated.

The day after Shuichi Senbon's death, the great wizard of the voodoo sect died together with Yukio Mishima, the president of the Noh Theater Association.

In just seven days, four extraordinary people whose destinies belonged to the Three Wonders and Six Instruments returned to their positions.

Including Masato Miyaji and Stephen White, six of the nine sacrifices have returned.

Only three places left.

  ······

"There are only three left. I never expected that. Why don't we take another day off? Maybe we can complete the mission by ourselves."

Zhang Chulan slumped on the sofa and said lazily.

Clarinet held the thermos cup, blew the hot steam, and drank the hot tea: "We can't have such thoughts. We still have to act at our own pace, because frequent changes in plans due to unexpected events will make us lose control of the direction of events."

Zhang Chulan touched his chin and said, "That's right. To be honest, the Noh Association suddenly met with the Voodoo Cult. I always feel that the second tail has contributed to this."

"Could it be that he guessed our actions and wanted to get involved?"

Lao Meng brought over a plate of washed fruit and placed it on the dining table, next to a copper tree candlestick with a thick candle lit by a snake.

After putting down the fruit, Lao Meng took over the conversation: "Although Wang Zhenqiu is a bit of a jerk, he was once one of us. He would not joke about the temporary work assignment. This is probably a coincidence." Feng Baobao reached out, picked up a fresh fruit, and started to eat it. While she was eating, she quickly typed on the keyboard with one hand, writing the task record.

Although Feng Baobao may seem dull sometimes, she is better than anyone else here at writing documents and making forms.

After understanding Feng Baobao's abilities, everyone felt at ease to hand over the paperwork that was originally troublesome to Feng Baobao.

Wang Wanghu leaned on his cane and said, "Hehe, maybe that guy has his eyes on the Noh Association's Prajna Noh Mask, but doesn't want to trade with Mishima Yukio, so he's here to rob his fellow thieves."

Zhang Chulan grinned: "Mr. Wang's guess seems very much like something that Erweizi would do."

"I don't know where that bastard is now."

Old Meng smiled innocently, "That guy is as clever as you, Chu Lan. He has won a lot of money in the Baixi Opera Garden. Maybe he lives in the Candlelight House like us."

Ever since the people from Baixi Liyuan returned home, Wang Zhenqiu left the Beika Hotel. After all, he stayed in Karakura Town to satisfy his curiosity and to cause trouble, so it was not appropriate for him to stay in a neutral area like the Beika Hotel.

The area around the Beika Hotel is full of people from the Yulong Society. Their defense is tight, with the intention of both protection and surveillance. Also, unlike most areas of Karakura Town today, there is no water, no electricity, no communications, and no surveillance.

Whoever committed a crime would really live next to the police station.

Do you really think the more dangerous a place is, the safer it is?

He originally wanted to get together with the temporary workers, but he is no longer a temporary worker now, and the temporary workers all do shady work, so it is impossible for them to accept him.

So, Wang Zhenqiu disappeared later on, but Zhang Chulan and the others never worried about his safety. Given his personality, he would have to be a tough guy to live such a comfortable life in the country.

Formal disciples of the Baixi Opera House, such as Wang Zhenqiu, are not in the Mihua Hotel, so it is naturally inconvenient for temporary workers to stay in the Mihua Hotel. Not only is it easy for their identities to be exposed, but they are also restricted in their actions.

However, it is not easy to find a safe place to stay in the current Karakura Town.

Although there are many empty houses in Karakura Town now, they are all ordinary houses. They can shelter from wind and rain, but it is difficult to protect against thieves on a daily basis, let alone protect against strangers.

The strange people who are still hiding in Karakura Town and playing this battle royale all have their own magical powers. Some hide in the shadows, some live in temples, and some have rich families and live in large magical instruments similar to Maxianhong Biyu Dazhai.

Temporary workers also have their own ways.

The quirky bronze candlesticks on the table, which don’t fit in with the modern minimalism of the room, are their solution.

The candlestick was a bronze sacred tree candlestick that was bought from Fengdu City with jade coins.

The bronze sacred tree looks like a sacred mountain at the bottom and like a nine-branched sacred tree at the top. Each bronze branch is carved with intricate patterns and a blazing sun. The outer edge of the platform for inserting candles is also carved with a one-eyed candle snake.

However, there is only one candle placed on the main fork in the middle of this bronze sacred tree.

This bronze candlestick is made of the same material as the bronze sacred tree in the world of Tomb Raiders. The candle on it is made from snake oil from the candle snake in the center of the earth below the bronze sacred tree.

When the snake candle is combined with the bronze sacred tree candlestick, it has the same ability as the bronze sacred tree in Qinling Mountains. It can turn the scene in the mind of the person who lights the candle into reality and use the candlelight to turn fantasy into reality.

Just like the mirage in the legend.

As long as the candle flame is not extinguished, the candlelight house that appears will always exist and be real.

Except for not being able to conjure up a fruit belly, any external object can be conjured up. Even electrical appliances can be used normally, and all the energy is paid by the snake candle.

When the candle flame goes out, the conjured object will turn into smoke and disappear.

Nine candles can be placed on the candlestick. The more candles there are, the wider the coverage area will be.

One candle can only transform into a small villa with its own door and window, two candles can transform into a large house with three entrances, three candles can transform into a royal palace... If nine candles are lit at the same time, it is possible to recreate a magnificent city just like the transformation of the environment.

With the bronze sacred tree candlestick, temporary workers can choose a place at will and set up camp on the spot. With the food and water in the devouring bag, they can be self-sufficient and always have a safe place to stay in Karakura Town.

Wang Zhenqiu had also been in Fengdu City, so it was normal for him to have the bronze sacred tree candlestick and snake candle in his hands.
