Chapter 89 The Demon
Chapter 89 The Demon
inside the room.
Song Zhishu sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, and his mind sank.
At this moment, he found that there were more than 100 Confucian righteousness surging in his body.
This was originally not there.
"Can I gain Confucian righteousness by giving lectures?" Song Zhishu thought, he hadn't done anything during this period, and there was only one explanation for the extra Confucian righteousness in his body, which was produced after lectures.
Because if you think about it carefully, lectures can be regarded as a kind of Confucian practice, and it is also reasonable to obtain Confucian righteousness.
But now there are a whole hundred more, which is somewhat beyond my expectation.
If you can gain Confucian righteousness just by giving lectures, doesn't it mean that it will be easier to accumulate noble righteousness in the future, after all, you can get ten ways at a time.
However, after careful consideration, Song Zhishu thinks that this is not the case. Lectures can indeed gain Confucian righteousness, but the problem is that it does not happen every time. The key is whether someone is enlightened during the process of lecturing.
According to what Chen Jingyun said before, when he told about the way of a gentleman this time, at least hundreds of people were enlightened and enlightened.
If it is only under normal circumstances, the Confucian righteousness obtained is not very much.
But anyway.
The harvest this time was indeed beyond Song Zhishu's expectations.
Not only are there [-] spirit stones as rewards, but more importantly, there is Confucian righteousness.
Of course, Song Zhishu didn't plan to do it again, because the lectures were not that simple. One time was enough to prepare and waste time. Besides, when entering Qingzhou and closing the city, there were demons appearing outside, and dangers abounded.
The most important thing now is to improve our strength to deal with the coming crisis.
Another point is that I have already agreed to Chen Jingyun, maybe I will face the monsters in a short time, how can I have the heart to give lectures?
At this point in his thoughts, Song Zhishu let out a mouthful of turbid air, and then condensed all the righteousness of Confucianism in his body through the portrait of Mencius into a righteousness. In this way, there are more than 40 righteousnesses in his body.
"Opening the third jade box on the second level of the Immortal Pagoda requires five hundred righteous spirits, and the difference is still too far away."
Looking at the righteousness accumulated in his body, Song Zhishu couldn't help feeling helpless.
The further you go to the back, the harsher the conditions for opening the jade box.
More importantly, there are not many ways for him to obtain righteousness, except for killing monsters, but now that the city is closed, there is no such opportunity, so he has only one choice for the time being, and that is to wait for news from Chen Jingyun.
If one could meet a monster and kill it, one would definitely gain more Confucian righteousness than ordinary monsters.
But in this way, you need to face a new problem, that is, you must have sufficient strength and means.
"I have a low-grade spiritual weapon, the Saint Sword Embryo, a late-stage cultivation base, and a primordial spirit that is comparable to the alchemy state. The weaker part should be my physique, and the lack of a sufficiently powerful offensive magic weapon, but if I want to make up for it, I can't do it It's not difficult."
Song Zhishu began to analyze his own strength. He could not improve his cultivation base and Saint Sword Embryo for the time being, and needed too many resources.
Yuanshen has been growing steadily recently, because his Confucian knowledge and practice realm is also improving, and he may be able to complete it after a period of time.
Therefore, these aspects are nothing but worries, not shortcomings.
As for the offensive magic weapon, although the Saint Sword Embryo is good, it is still not enough, and then there is the physique, which is only in the early stage of foundation establishment.
After understanding his own shortcomings, Song Zhishu did not hesitate too much. He took out the thunder bottle from the storage bag. Although it is only a top-quality magic weapon, it can perfectly solve the current problem. The only thing that needs to be done is to improve the quality .
In this way, the sky thunder released by the sky thunder bottle will be stronger and powerful, and at the same time it can temper his physical body.
He has already figured it out, anyway, he is still far away from opening the third jade box, and now there is still a distance to the late stage of foundation establishment, and he needs at least [-] Lingyuan pills, so it is better to use Haoran Zhengqi to improve the quality of the Tianlei bottle , reaching the level of low-grade spirit weapon.
As long as one's own strength continues to grow, will there be fewer chances of gaining awe-inspiring righteousness in the future?
Therefore, after Song Zhishu made up his mind, he put the Tianlei bottle on his chest.
The awe-inspiring righteousness in the body is surging, slowly wrapping it.
The way to promote the Sky Thunder Bottle is relatively simple, it doesn't need iron ore materials, only awe-inspiring righteousness is enough.
Previously, Song Zhishu had raised the Saint Flying Sword to a low-grade spiritual weapon with sixty Dao of righteousness. The Sky Thunder Bottle might not need so much, but according to estimates, it would need at least twenty or thirty Dao, so he injected ten Dao first.
Boom.
At this moment, the thunder bottle made a burst of thunder.
Rays of light emerged from the entire bottle body, which looked dazzling, they were small lightning bolts.
This is in the process of promotion, and the breath of the thunder bottle is getting stronger and stronger, but it is obviously not enough to be completely promoted to a low-grade spiritual weapon.
Seeing this, Song Zhishu didn't hesitate, and directly injected twenty Dao Ran righteousness into it.
Rumble.
It was at this moment that the thunder from the thunder bottle became stronger and stronger.
A series of purple thunder and lightning, like a snake, is constantly swimming.
This is already beginning to change.
It took [-] Dao of Great Righteous Qi, which is half as much as the saint's sword fetus, and it is still acceptable.
Song Zhishu also heaved a sigh of relief, afraid that he would use up all his righteousness, and now he could keep some.
At this time, he also stopped injecting, and turned to run his mana, enveloping all the lightning and preventing it from dispersing.
Once this is done, all you need to do is wait.
Soon, over time.
The color of the Tianlei bottle has changed, it is dyed a layer of light purple, the luster is translucent, and the aura emanating from above it is also stronger, and the wandering thunder and lightning finally turned purple, as if containing extremely Strong power.
Finally at a certain moment, following the ups and downs of the thunder bottle, all the light converged.
The promotion is complete, and the top-grade magic weapon becomes the low-grade spiritual weapon, the Thunder Bottle.
Song Zhishu immediately held it in his hand, and it felt cool to the touch. It seemed inconspicuous, but he could clearly detect the power contained in it.
After thinking for a while, he injected mana into it without hesitation.
sizzle.
Just at the next moment, a purple thunderbolt spewed out from the mouth of the Tianlei bottle, several feet long, roaring like a thunder dragon. Fortunately, Song Zhishu had quick eyesight and quick hands to control the thunder dragon, otherwise the guest room might be destroyed.
And he hasn't injected much mana yet, not even a tenth of it.
"I don't know how powerful it is."
Song Zhishu was a little surprised and wanted to try the power, so he used the Thunder Bottle again.
The thunder dragon flew out from the bottle mouth, and rushed towards Song Zhishu directly under the control, making an ear-piercing sound.
bang.
The purple thunder dragon was swimming around Song Zhishu's body, causing white smoke to come out of his body, and even his muscles couldn't help trembling.
"It's powerful." Song Zhishu felt the pain in his body, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth, and his face turned pale. This was because he was prepared and didn't take it seriously, but what he valued more was that when the Thunder Dragon entered his body , under intentional control, the power of thunder remained in the flesh and blood, making it begin to strengthen.
If the Sky Thunder Bottle could only be used for attacking, Song Zhishu would not use his awe-inspiring righteousness to improve his quality. What he valued was that it could temper his body.
After realizing it carefully, he estimated that the current Sky Thunder Bottle is indeed more useful for tempering the body than before.
So after Song Zhishu fully adapted to the power of thunder in it.
Without much thought, I chose to continue.
Once your physique is improved again, your own strength will also increase accordingly.
In this way, Song Zhishu is going to do two things next, one is to temper the body, and the other is to inscribe the precious jade, so as to make full preparations for the next face-to-face demon.
And in his cultivation, time also passed bit by bit.
Qingzhou City is still under martial law, but because the plague of demons has been brought under control, many monks have relaxed.
The missions issued by Wanshi Pavilion have also begun to be accepted one after another, but most of them are descendants of aristocratic clans. Because they have confidence in their own strength and the rewards are generous, it can be regarded as a kind of experience.
However, apart from Qingzhou City, there are other places where monster incidents have occurred one after another, but they are not serious.
It is precisely because of this that most of the eyes of the eastern border of Central Continent are focused on Qingzhou.
After all, the Heaven-Sealing Demon Formation was discovered here, which cannot be ignored.
City Lord's Mansion, inside the lobby.
Several powerful auras sat opposite each other, a total of five people.
They are Taihao Sword Sect Elder Wang Pingan, Jinyi Tianwei Commander Fu Daren, Qingzhou Wanshi Pavilion Pavilion Master, City Lord Qiu Qianhe, and Qingzhou Academy Dean Cheng Hong. These people are the five people with the highest strength and status in Qingzhou City today.
All five looked solemn, but the atmosphere was not as tense as the first time, and seemed much calmer.
"Recently, relying on the efforts of my Taihao Sword Sect and the help of everyone, most of the stones of the Fengtian Demon Formation have been destroyed, and there is no threat to this formation, but no matter what, we should not take it lightly, so Changge Daozi went down a few days ago. I have issued an order to let me, the elder disciple of the Taihao Sword Sect, seal off all important places in the Qingyun Mountains to prevent accidents."
"In addition, disciples from Shushan, Qingcheng and other immortal sects will also come to help, so the burden on us will be much lighter in the future."
Wang Pingan spoke first. He is the elder of Taihao Jianzong and the main figure in the investigation of the Qingzhou incident.
"With the attention of Daozi Changge, I believe that the monsters in Qingzhou will definitely be able to deal with them."
The city lord Qiu Qianhe smiled, with a hint of respect in his words.
Since the appearance of demons in Qingzhou and the discovery of the Fengtian Demon Formation, all major forces in Central Continent have paid close attention to it. Even the two major sword sects of Shushan and Qingcheng are in action. There is no other reason. It is the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation.
The Heaven Sealing Demon Formation is an extremely ancient and terrifying formation. During the Battle of the Boundary Sea, countless monks fell into it.
Although the magic formation discovered in Qingzhou is not large, no one will take it lightly and attach great importance to it.
Afterwards, after discussions among the major forces, it was determined that to deal with the demon formation and demon incident, there must be a leader, unified planning, and unified deployment, and Taihao Sword Sect, which is the closest to Qingzhou, is naturally the most suitable.
Naturally, Taihao Jianzong would not refuse, and finally handed over the matter to the chief elder brother Mu Changge.
Now that Qingzhou is closed, Wanshige releases missions and increases rewards, this series of plans are all written by Mu Changge.
Of course, these things are only known to the few people present. The low-level monks are not qualified to know so much. They just need to follow the arrangements above.
Qiu Qianhe, the city lord of Qingzhou, naturally wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Taihao Sword Sect. If he could be appreciated, there would be a lot of benefits in the future.
"City Lord Qiu is serious. It's all due to the cooperation of everyone. I, Taihao Sword Sect, dare not take the credit for this."
On the other hand, Wang Ping'an smiled, cupped his hands slightly, and acted very modestly.
"Elder Wang is right."
At this time, Lord Fu of Jinyi Tianwei said: "It is not only the Taihao Sword Sect who destroyed the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation and blocked the Qingyun Mountain Range, but also my Great Zhou Dynasty, and Dao friends from various forces. Ours."
His voice was flat, without any emotional ups and downs, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this sentence was aimed at Taihao Sword Sect.
Involuntarily, the pavilion master of Wanshi Pavilion and Cheng Hong, the dean of Qingzhou Academy, both turned their heads to look at Qiu Qianhe.
At this moment, Qiu Qianhe lowered his head and remained silent, with drops of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
As for Wang Ping'an, he drank tea quietly and seemed not to hear.
The Great Zhou Dynasty is the ruler of the world, and the current Great Zhou Sage is even more ambitious. It stands to reason that all places in Central Continent belong to the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty in name, and the city lords of all major forces must obey the orders of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But now the Lord of Qingzhou, who is regarded as a courtier of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is headed by the Taihao Sword Sect and obeys the orders of the Taihao Sword Sect.
As the commander of Jinyi Tianwei, Mr. Fu was naturally dissatisfied with this, so he wanted to say a few words.
In fact, it is not the first time that Taihao Sword Sect and Da Zhou have fought openly and secretly.
Just like the leader who dealt with the demon incident in Qingzhou this time, the Great Zhou court also intends to send the royal family's children here, but they were cut off by Mu Changge. One can imagine the anger in Master Fu's heart.
But it was about monsters, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't say anything, and finally let it go.
"Master Fu and Jinyi Tianwei have really worked hard in recent days, and I, Wanshi Pavilion, have also noticed it."
Seeing the tense atmosphere, the master of the Wanshi Pavilion laughed, and turned to look at Cheng Hong: "Mr. Cheng, I heard that Qingzhou Academy invited a gentleman to give lectures a few days ago. It is said that there were [-] monks attending the lecture that day. , Among them, hundreds of people have enlightened and stepped into the gate of Confucianism, it is really gratifying, this time the demon incident, the Academy must contribute a lot."
He changed the subject because he didn't want the Great Zhou Dynasty and Taihao Sword Sect to face each other, otherwise everyone present would be affected.
And Wanshige's business is spread all over the human cultivation world, so it is naturally a big face, and everyone has to give up three points.
So after the Wanshi Pavilion Master spoke, the atmosphere was indeed much better.
Cheng Hong also knew what the other party meant, and nodded immediately: "Yes, the effect of this lecture has also exceeded my expectations, so when I have time, I will also come to thank Mr. Song in person."
After speaking, Cheng Hong glanced at Wang Pingan not far away without leaving any trace, but only with a light sweep.
"I've also heard about this matter. That Mr. Song is a real talent."
Master Fu also spoke, and continued with a little curiosity in his words: "Mr. Cheng, you also know that the court has always favored talents, and although I, Fu Yuan, is a rough person, I have a heart for those talented people." I also admire it very much, if it is possible, before Mr. Cheng comes to the door, can you bring me to meet that Mr. Song?"
After the words fell, the lobby fell into silence again, and even Cheng Hong's face changed slightly, and he stopped talking.
"Although some people have left, it doesn't mean we don't care."
Wang Pingan looked at Fu Yuan, and said indifferently, "Master Fu, the demon crisis has not been completely resolved, and it is better to fight less if you have some thoughts."
After he finished speaking, the aura around him became a little cold, especially there was a hint of warning in his eyes.
Everyone present was also very quiet, fully understanding the meaning of Wang Ping'an's words.
The Mr. Song invited by Qingzhou Academy, don't they know which Mr. Song it is?It's just that no one pointed it out.
As for what Fu Yuan said, he obviously wanted to get close to the other party. Taihao Sword Sect must have some opinions on this. Even though Mr. Song had already left Taihao Sword Sect, the head teacher of Taihao had also spoken, and everyone knew that Mr. Song has not been given up, and is still regarded as one of his own.
Wang Pingan knew this, so he spoke directly, emphasizing it again to everyone.
There is nothing in Confucianism, there is no distinction between powers, it is just that the methods of practice are different.
But Jinyi Tianwei represents the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Taihao Jianzong naturally cared.
"Elder Wang is right. Now we really need to focus on big things." Fu Yuan looked at Wang Ping'an, his eyes didn't flinch, but he didn't continue to entangle on this topic, but said: "We got news, behind this incident It's an old demon who escaped from Beizhou, even though he was injured and his strength dropped, he still has to be careful, and the disciples of the Taihao Sword Sect must also be careful when they are outside."
Although these words were meant to be caring, they were still full of gunpowder. Wang Ping'an frowned slightly, but he didn't explode. He just said: "We have been prepared for a long time, and we are looking for news about that old demon. Master Fu can rest assured."
This sentence made the other three breathe a sigh of relief. Taihao Sword Sect and the Great Zhou Dynasty did have some disagreements, but luckily they could clearly see right and wrong.
"Both of you are right. The most important thing now is to work together to deal with the monsters."
The master of the Wanshi Pavilion and Cheng Hong, the dean of the academy, spoke accordingly.
We didn't continue to talk about Song Zhishu's topic, otherwise the problem of demons has not been resolved, and internal strife will be bad.
Wang Ping'an and Fu Yuan just looked at each other and began to continue to improve the plan.
The five of them are the executors of Qingzhou Demon's Trouble, so there can be no problems.
Otherwise, if something big happens, few can afford it.
Cheng Hong looked at the two people in front of him, shook his head slightly, and thought of Song Zhishu's figure. Although he was only in the Foundation Establishment Realm and seemed unimportant, he was favored by everyone. He deserved to be able to face Mu Changge directly.
at the same time.
In a guest room of Yunlingzhai.
Song Zhishu sat cross-legged, and the sky thunder bottle stood above his head, sending down streaks of purple thunder.
The thick thunder force continuously swam around his body, buzzing, as if it contained terrifying power.
In an instant, Song Zhishu opened his eyes, and a ray of thunder flashed in his eyes, and the breath revealed from his body was stronger than before, and it was just pure physical strength.
"Finally tempered my physique to the mid-stage of foundation establishment, only half a month has passed, and the Sky Thunder Bottle really did not disappoint me."
Song Zhishu clenched his fists and was very satisfied after feeling the power bred in the flesh and blood.
He found that because he had been tempered with the lightning power of the sky thunder bottle, his body also contained a trace of thunder power, but because he hadn't fought against the enemy, he didn't know how strong it was.
But all in all, now his two weakest abilities have been fully raised.
Also, during this period of time, Song Zhishu also inscribed dozens of precious jades, plus the pills and talismans that existed before, everything is ready, and he has now reached the strongest state at this stage.
"It's time to collide with that so-called monster."
Song Zhishu's expression was calm. Thinking of the news from Chen Jingyun a few days ago, he had successfully built the foundation, and he would take the task and leave the city in a few days, and the time should be almost the same now.
And just as he was thinking about this, there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Song."
鏉ヤ 钖楋纻
Song Zhishu naturally recognized whose voice it was, and immediately got up to open the door.
There were four people standing outside the door, besides Chen Jingyun, there were Lin Cheng, Wang Chong and Li Xiansong.
Song Zhishu made a salute, and immediately invited all the people in.
"Mr. Song." Chen Jingyun bowed his hand to return the salute, came to the room and sat down and said, "I discussed it with the three fellow Taoists Lin Cheng, and the five of us formed a team. In addition, according to the requirements of the Wanshi Pavilion, there are five more people." I have already found it, and will meet us on the day of departure."
Wanshi Pavilion issued a task related to the demon incident. Apart from the must have Confucian scholars, a team must have at least ten people.
The purpose is that if there is a real crisis, they can take care of each other even in the case of a large number of people.
Otherwise, if the number of people is too small, problems will easily occur.
Song Zhishu naturally had no objection to this, and the joining of Lin Cheng and others was also agreed a few days ago by the two of them. After all, the five of them had cooperated before and established a relationship of mutual trust long ago. Cultivation is naturally the best choice.
"Okay, I just don't know who are the other five people that Mr. Chen is looking for?" Song Zhishu handed over the matter of finding people to the other party, but he was about to leave the city soon, so naturally he had to find out in advance.
"They are all casual cultivators. I have investigated them before, and they all have good character. Speaking of which, those people have also listened to Mr. Song's lectures in the academy. I heard that they are very happy to have you join us out of the city this time. I want to come to see you in advance, but I think Mr. Song may be making preparations, so I declined for you, anyway, I will leave in a few days, and there is no rush for a day or two." Chen Jingyun replied.
"Mr. Chen is right. You don't know Song Daoyou. Since you gave a lecture at the academy last time, your reputation has risen greatly. Many casual cultivators have heard of it. The reason why Qingzhou Academy does not set a threshold for lectures is you. I admire you very much, and said that I wanted to see your true face, but I was stopped by Mr. Chen."
"Yes, even the three of us have Confucian righteousness in our bodies after listening to your lecture."
"Mr. Chen also said that during this period of time, people came to the academy every day to ask if you would give lectures again."
Lin Cheng and the others took the words, with exclamation and excitement in their words. In the eyes of the three of them, Song Zhishu was like a god-man, and only admiration remained in their hearts.
It should be noted that they had been to Qingzhou Academy before the city was closed, and wanted to see if they had the talent for reading, but the reality was cruel, and they were not even qualified to become students, but because they listened to Song Zhishu's lectures, they actually cultivated Confucian righteousness .
The three of them haven't shown up in the past few days, but they are also adapting to this force and preparing to leave the city at the same time.
Hearing this, Song Zhishu noticed that there was indeed a surge of Confucian righteousness in Lin Cheng's body, but it was very weak, and it was hard to see if you didn't feel it carefully. They were generally at the stage of just getting started.
So he smiled softly, and then said: "This is the good fortune of the three fellow Taoists, and has little to do with me."
Song Zhishu understands that if there is no lecture on that day, if the three of them have to spare time and concentrate on studying hard, it will only be a matter of time before they develop Confucian righteousness, and of course that's all.
But as long as Confucianism is upright, it will indeed have more confidence when facing monsters.
However, Song Zhishu didn't say much about this matter, and immediately turned to look at Chen Jingyun and said, "Mr. Chen, since the arrangement has been made, let's talk about the situation of this mission first, so that we can find out in advance."
The three of Lin Cheng also nodded. They came here today to make final preparations for leaving the city.
"Right on my mind."
Hearing this, Chen Jingyun took a deep breath: "Our mission this time is to go to a few villages three hundred miles outside the city, which were originally the residences of mortals. Some time ago, a cultivator from a sect passed by, but found that the villagers of several villages had disappeared strangely."
In addition to the main city, Qingzhou also encompasses several other sub-cities and thousands of villages, large and small.
The closure of the city is only the main city, as for other places, monks will be sent to garrison according to the situation.
In order to ensure that if a monster is found, it can be notified at any time and a timely response can be made.
This is what Song Zhishu has already learned.
"And then? Where did the guardian monk go?"
Lin Cheng opened his mouth out of curiosity. It is not difficult to make the mortals in several villages disappear. The key is whether they live or die with those monks, which can bring more information.
"Afterwards, Wanshi Pavilion and the City Lord's Mansion sent people to investigate the situation, but they found no clues, and there were no traces of fighting, as if they disappeared out of thin air." Chen Jingyun continued with a serious tone: "After a few days of investigation , I found the garrisoned monk hundreds of miles outside the village, but he was not injured, but he didn’t know what happened, he knew his name and identity, but he just lost all the memories about the village, which was very weird.”
"The Wanshi Pavilion and the City Lord's Mansion concluded that this was a demonic disturbance, because only demons can do so without anyone noticing, and immediately released the task."
He told all the details of this mission without missing a single bit.
After Chen Jingyun finished speaking, Lin Cheng and the others suddenly became serious.
Without knowing it, let the people of the whole village disappear directly, or with the qi training monks stationed.
Several people are in the Foundation Establishment Realm. It is actually not difficult to do this. The difficulty lies in making a person lose a certain memory, not to mention the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Because this is not an ordinary loss of memory, but a part of it is extracted, and they have not heard of such a thing.
For a moment, several people became even more afraid of the so-called demon in their hearts.
Song Zhishu fell silent.
He was thinking about the information provided by Chen Jingyun.
His thinking was actually similar to that of Lin Cheng and the others, and he felt that the method with the demon was very strange.
However, Song Zhishu didn't think deeply about it, and after pondering for a while, he said slowly: "Then when shall we set off?"
It is useless to sit here and think no matter how much, the only way to understand the situation is to go to investigate in person, especially the means of the monster, and he finally knows why all the major forces have paid so much attention to it, and the mortals in several villages have disappeared strangely, which is too weird up.
And since Wanshi Pavilion can release it as a task, it is obvious that this kind of incident is not too big.
The really serious ones are those that need to be dealt with by major forces, even Taihao Sword Sect.
"I'm ready, tomorrow morning."
When Chen Jingyun opened his mouth, he had already made a plan. After all, he initiated the investigation of the demon incident this time, so he must be fully prepared.
"it is good."
Song Zhishu heard that he also meant the same thing, the sooner the better.
Who knows if the so-called demon will stay after the villager disappears.
"The three of us have no objection." Seeing that Zhishu Song agreed, Lin Cheng and the others also had no objection. As for the fear in their hearts, they were also suppressed. Since they decided to go, they would not regret it. Besides, they also had Confucian righteousness in their bodies. Some confidence.
Immediately, the five of them chatted about the details of the trip, as well as things to be prepared, and then dispersed.
This was the first time they faced the monster, and everyone was in a serious mood.
In addition to completing the tasks issued by the Wanshi Pavilion.
The most important thing is to keep the trip safe and sound, and of course I don't have the heart to say anything else.
Song Zhishu was the only one left in the room soon, still thinking about what Chen Jingyun said. The methods of the demon are indeed weird. I haven't really seen them yet, but they already give people a great sense of oppression.
"Everything will be tomorrow."
Song Zhishu muttered to himself, didn't say anything more, and just sat down cross-legged.
I plan to use this last time to adjust my state to the best.
There was nothing to say all night, and before I knew it, day and night alternated.
Early in the morning, the sun rises.
The light of the great sun shines on the earth, giving people an extremely warm feeling.
On the bed, Song Zhishu opened his eyes, got up and tidied up, prepared everything and walked out of the inn.
The streets of Qingzhou City still looked deserted, not as prosperous as before, but as time passed, the demon incident was brought under control, and many people started to go out, unlike before where few people could not be seen.
Song Zhishu started from the inn and walked all the way to the place agreed yesterday, which is the gate of Dongcheng.
Before they got close, they found that Chen Jingyun and others were already waiting there.
In addition to the other five people, their cultivation bases are all in the foundation establishment stage. Among them is an obese monk who is in the middle stage of foundation establishment and looks familiar.
He was the only person who asked questions during the lecture that day.
Song Zhishu remembered and had some impressions of that person, but he didn't say much and walked over directly.
"Let me introduce to fellow Taoists. This is Song Zhishu, Mr. Song, who cultivates both Taoism and Confucianism, and is also the leader of this mission." Chen Jingyun waited for Song Zhishu to approach, and immediately spoke to everyone, with a smile in his eyes.
He was the organizer of the mission, but it was dangerous to go out of the city, so he handed over the leading mission to Zhishu Song.
The reason is also very simple. After all, Song Zhishu is the one with the highest cultivation level and the strongest strength among the ten people present.
There is no doubt that the strong have a dominant position wherever they are.
Song Zhishu also followed the words, and bowed his hands slightly to salute: "I have met five fellow daoists. I hope to cooperate with a few fellow daoists along the way to get rid of the trouble of demons."
"Mr. Song is polite."
The fat monk immediately stepped forward and said directly: "Student Yuan Ming, who has been studying for several years, but he still couldn't get the point. He listened to the gentleman's way of being a gentleman that day, and he suddenly became enlightened. He cultivated Confucian righteousness and entered the Confucian atmosphere , I have not thanked you sir, see you today, please allow the students to perform the disciple ceremony."
After finishing speaking, Yuan Ming immediately bowed to salute, his posture was very low, and his tone was very sincere.
"Yuan Daoyou is polite."
Seeing this, Song Zhishu helped the other party up, and said with a smile: "I am also invited by Mr. Cheng Hong. If you want to thank, you should thank Mr. Cheng."
What he said is correct, after all, Mr. Cheng Hong mentioned it when he gave a lecture last time.
"Mr. Song is too modest. You don't set a threshold for your lectures, and anyone who goes can listen to them. You are so open-minded, and I really respect you." Another monk spoke. He also listened to Song Zhishu's lectures in the academy, and he did the same thing as Yuan Ming. Received a disciple ceremony.
"Mr. Song, let them do what they want. You have 3000 people listening to your lectures. In our Confucianism, they can indeed be counted as your students."
Chen Jingyun came forward and asked Song Zhishu not to stop him, to explain people's doubts and enlighten them, he is considered a teacher in Confucianism.
Regarding this, Song Zhishu felt quite helpless, but he also knew that it was really bad to disagree.
Not long after, the rest of the people also began to salute, and then introduced themselves one by one.
Except for Yuan Ming, the other four were named Gu Siqing, Shen Xing, Lou Zhong, and Sha Wenxuan, together with Lin Cheng and others and Song Zhishu, a group of ten people, and all of them had one characteristic, that is, they were all loose cultivators.
According to Chen Jingyun, although the disciples of the aristocratic sect are stronger, they also have arrogance and sometimes disobey orders.
But casual cultivators are different. Facing those who are stronger than themselves, they will obey even if they have opinions.
Especially since he has been carefully selected, there must be no problem in cooperation.
Immediately afterwards, everyone discussed the plan and details of the mission, and immediately prepared to set off.
However, it is now during the closure of the city, and you must have a mission badge jointly issued by the Wanshi Pavilion and the City Lord's Mansion before you can leave the city. Chen Jingyun has already prepared these, and after the inspection of the monks protecting the city, everyone left the city.
The target location is three hundred miles away from Qingzhou City. In order to hurry, everyone unanimously decided to fly with the sword.
"Mr. Song, fellow Taoists, the first place we went to was called Luojiazhuang, and it was also the place where we first discovered the accident. It is the closest place. The plan is that we stay there for one night. If there is no If you find it, go to the next place."
On the sky, ten sword figures walked with swords, Song Zhishu was in the center, and Chen Jingyun beside him was introducing the general situation.
There were several places where the accident happened. For the sake of safety, they did not choose to separate, but acted together.
It is inevitable that we will not be able to cope with the crisis at that time.
But Song Zhishu and Chen Jingyun are scholars who have really entered the realm, and with their own cultivation, the other eight naturally obeyed and nodded.
Immediately, the crowd stopped talking and looked forward, three hundred miles was not very far to them.
So before half a day had passed, they were already approaching their destination.
"The front is Luojiazhuang."
Chen Jingyun took the map and pointed to a distance.
Song Zhishu cast his eyes immediately, and saw a village in front of him, backed by a hill, and a winding river in front of the village, but it was almost exhausted, and the scene in the village was not very clear, covered by wisps of water. Covered in clouds and fog, it can be seen that there are about a few hundred people, neither big nor small.
And he also found that when he looked at the village, the aura of righteousness in his body was slightly vibrating, and he seemed to feel it.
Looking at Chen Jingyun aside, there was nothing unusual on his expression, obviously he didn't notice it.
Haoran righteousness is purer than general Confucian righteousness.
I can feel it, but it doesn't mean that every Confucian scholar can, let alone the other party is still a saint.
After thinking for a while, Song Zhishu didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Don't land directly in Luojiazhuang, let's observe outside first."
"Yes."
Chen Jingyun saw that Song Zhishu might have found something, but he didn't ask, but called the rest of the people down.
When they came to the ground, everyone looked at Luojiazhuang not far away without saying a word.
All areas of Zhuangzi are surrounded by walls, and the front is a closed red-lacquered gate.
The paint surface seems to have passed a little time, but it is still very bright red, like flowing blood.
There is also a plaque on it, with the three characters of "Luojiazhuang" written on it.
"Mr. Song?"
Chen Jingyun looked at Song Zhishu and said, "Go in now?"
Song Zhishu didn't answer immediately, but sensed it with awe-inspiring righteousness, and found that the previous feeling disappeared. There seemed to be no problem with Zhuangzi in front of him, and he found no abnormality when he poked out his soul. After a short silence, he nodded : "Go in, but remember, don't separate, at least within sight."
A monk has a soul that can perceive, which is more useful than eyes, but in many cases, the soul may be shielded, at least within the line of sight.
"Okay." Chen Jingyun nodded and waved his hand, and everyone entered together without hesitation.
Pushing open the red lacquered gate, the scene inside Zhuangzi came into view.
The road in front of you is covered with fallen leaves, dry flowers and plants, and bare branches, each of which indicates that this place is uninhabited. , which is not messy except for some dust.
There are even cooked meals, but they have gone rancid after a long time.
After entering, everyone present felt a chill.
But it's not obvious.
"Sure enough, it disappeared suddenly."
After seeing this, Song Zhishu immediately realized that the villagers in the village had indeed disappeared suddenly, and they didn't even feel any danger during the disappearance, otherwise the house would not be so clean.
"What should we do now?" Lin Cheng's mouth was a little dry and his tone was hoarse. It was obviously a mortal village, but it gave him a strange feeling.
It should be noted that the leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey in the later stage of foundation establishment did not give him such a feeling.
"Search all the houses and see if you find anything."
It was the first time for Song Zhishu to encounter such a situation, and he couldn't make any good decisions. He could only search room by room. If he couldn't find any clues, he would stay here for one night as Chen Jingyun said before.
But the more this is the case, the more careful you have to be, monsters, monsters, what is a demon?Unfathomable, unpredictable.
The other nine people nodded after hearing the words, but they didn't choose to separate. Instead, they searched together from the first room in Zhuangzi.
Song Zhishu, on the other hand, was in front of everyone, and at the same time, he kept surging righteousness in his body. As long as there was a problem, he would take a strong shot. Just when he pushed open the first door, a biting chill hit him slowly.
bump!
It was at this moment that a violent bang appeared in the ears of everyone present.
It was Zhuangzi's gate, which was pushed directly at this moment and scattered on the ground.
A burst of breath poured in.
Everyone was running mana, looking at the red painted door that fell on the ground, extremely vigilant.
Is it a demon?
(End of this chapter)
inside the room.
Song Zhishu sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, and his mind sank.
At this moment, he found that there were more than 100 Confucian righteousness surging in his body.
This was originally not there.
"Can I gain Confucian righteousness by giving lectures?" Song Zhishu thought, he hadn't done anything during this period, and there was only one explanation for the extra Confucian righteousness in his body, which was produced after lectures.
Because if you think about it carefully, lectures can be regarded as a kind of Confucian practice, and it is also reasonable to obtain Confucian righteousness.
But now there are a whole hundred more, which is somewhat beyond my expectation.
If you can gain Confucian righteousness just by giving lectures, doesn't it mean that it will be easier to accumulate noble righteousness in the future, after all, you can get ten ways at a time.
However, after careful consideration, Song Zhishu thinks that this is not the case. Lectures can indeed gain Confucian righteousness, but the problem is that it does not happen every time. The key is whether someone is enlightened during the process of lecturing.
According to what Chen Jingyun said before, when he told about the way of a gentleman this time, at least hundreds of people were enlightened and enlightened.
If it is only under normal circumstances, the Confucian righteousness obtained is not very much.
But anyway.
The harvest this time was indeed beyond Song Zhishu's expectations.
Not only are there [-] spirit stones as rewards, but more importantly, there is Confucian righteousness.
Of course, Song Zhishu didn't plan to do it again, because the lectures were not that simple. One time was enough to prepare and waste time. Besides, when entering Qingzhou and closing the city, there were demons appearing outside, and dangers abounded.
The most important thing now is to improve our strength to deal with the coming crisis.
Another point is that I have already agreed to Chen Jingyun, maybe I will face the monsters in a short time, how can I have the heart to give lectures?
At this point in his thoughts, Song Zhishu let out a mouthful of turbid air, and then condensed all the righteousness of Confucianism in his body through the portrait of Mencius into a righteousness. In this way, there are more than 40 righteousnesses in his body.
"Opening the third jade box on the second level of the Immortal Pagoda requires five hundred righteous spirits, and the difference is still too far away."
Looking at the righteousness accumulated in his body, Song Zhishu couldn't help feeling helpless.
The further you go to the back, the harsher the conditions for opening the jade box.
More importantly, there are not many ways for him to obtain righteousness, except for killing monsters, but now that the city is closed, there is no such opportunity, so he has only one choice for the time being, and that is to wait for news from Chen Jingyun.
If one could meet a monster and kill it, one would definitely gain more Confucian righteousness than ordinary monsters.
But in this way, you need to face a new problem, that is, you must have sufficient strength and means.
"I have a low-grade spiritual weapon, the Saint Sword Embryo, a late-stage cultivation base, and a primordial spirit that is comparable to the alchemy state. The weaker part should be my physique, and the lack of a sufficiently powerful offensive magic weapon, but if I want to make up for it, I can't do it It's not difficult."
Song Zhishu began to analyze his own strength. He could not improve his cultivation base and Saint Sword Embryo for the time being, and needed too many resources.
Yuanshen has been growing steadily recently, because his Confucian knowledge and practice realm is also improving, and he may be able to complete it after a period of time.
Therefore, these aspects are nothing but worries, not shortcomings.
As for the offensive magic weapon, although the Saint Sword Embryo is good, it is still not enough, and then there is the physique, which is only in the early stage of foundation establishment.
After understanding his own shortcomings, Song Zhishu did not hesitate too much. He took out the thunder bottle from the storage bag. Although it is only a top-quality magic weapon, it can perfectly solve the current problem. The only thing that needs to be done is to improve the quality .
In this way, the sky thunder released by the sky thunder bottle will be stronger and powerful, and at the same time it can temper his physical body.
He has already figured it out, anyway, he is still far away from opening the third jade box, and now there is still a distance to the late stage of foundation establishment, and he needs at least [-] Lingyuan pills, so it is better to use Haoran Zhengqi to improve the quality of the Tianlei bottle , reaching the level of low-grade spirit weapon.
As long as one's own strength continues to grow, will there be fewer chances of gaining awe-inspiring righteousness in the future?
Therefore, after Song Zhishu made up his mind, he put the Tianlei bottle on his chest.
The awe-inspiring righteousness in the body is surging, slowly wrapping it.
The way to promote the Sky Thunder Bottle is relatively simple, it doesn't need iron ore materials, only awe-inspiring righteousness is enough.
Previously, Song Zhishu had raised the Saint Flying Sword to a low-grade spiritual weapon with sixty Dao of righteousness. The Sky Thunder Bottle might not need so much, but according to estimates, it would need at least twenty or thirty Dao, so he injected ten Dao first.
Boom.
At this moment, the thunder bottle made a burst of thunder.
Rays of light emerged from the entire bottle body, which looked dazzling, they were small lightning bolts.
This is in the process of promotion, and the breath of the thunder bottle is getting stronger and stronger, but it is obviously not enough to be completely promoted to a low-grade spiritual weapon.
Seeing this, Song Zhishu didn't hesitate, and directly injected twenty Dao Ran righteousness into it.
Rumble.
It was at this moment that the thunder from the thunder bottle became stronger and stronger.
A series of purple thunder and lightning, like a snake, is constantly swimming.
This is already beginning to change.
It took [-] Dao of Great Righteous Qi, which is half as much as the saint's sword fetus, and it is still acceptable.
Song Zhishu also heaved a sigh of relief, afraid that he would use up all his righteousness, and now he could keep some.
At this time, he also stopped injecting, and turned to run his mana, enveloping all the lightning and preventing it from dispersing.
Once this is done, all you need to do is wait.
Soon, over time.
The color of the Tianlei bottle has changed, it is dyed a layer of light purple, the luster is translucent, and the aura emanating from above it is also stronger, and the wandering thunder and lightning finally turned purple, as if containing extremely Strong power.
Finally at a certain moment, following the ups and downs of the thunder bottle, all the light converged.
The promotion is complete, and the top-grade magic weapon becomes the low-grade spiritual weapon, the Thunder Bottle.
Song Zhishu immediately held it in his hand, and it felt cool to the touch. It seemed inconspicuous, but he could clearly detect the power contained in it.
After thinking for a while, he injected mana into it without hesitation.
sizzle.
Just at the next moment, a purple thunderbolt spewed out from the mouth of the Tianlei bottle, several feet long, roaring like a thunder dragon. Fortunately, Song Zhishu had quick eyesight and quick hands to control the thunder dragon, otherwise the guest room might be destroyed.
And he hasn't injected much mana yet, not even a tenth of it.
"I don't know how powerful it is."
Song Zhishu was a little surprised and wanted to try the power, so he used the Thunder Bottle again.
The thunder dragon flew out from the bottle mouth, and rushed towards Song Zhishu directly under the control, making an ear-piercing sound.
bang.
The purple thunder dragon was swimming around Song Zhishu's body, causing white smoke to come out of his body, and even his muscles couldn't help trembling.
"It's powerful." Song Zhishu felt the pain in his body, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth, and his face turned pale. This was because he was prepared and didn't take it seriously, but what he valued more was that when the Thunder Dragon entered his body , under intentional control, the power of thunder remained in the flesh and blood, making it begin to strengthen.
If the Sky Thunder Bottle could only be used for attacking, Song Zhishu would not use his awe-inspiring righteousness to improve his quality. What he valued was that it could temper his body.
After realizing it carefully, he estimated that the current Sky Thunder Bottle is indeed more useful for tempering the body than before.
So after Song Zhishu fully adapted to the power of thunder in it.
Without much thought, I chose to continue.
Once your physique is improved again, your own strength will also increase accordingly.
In this way, Song Zhishu is going to do two things next, one is to temper the body, and the other is to inscribe the precious jade, so as to make full preparations for the next face-to-face demon.
And in his cultivation, time also passed bit by bit.
Qingzhou City is still under martial law, but because the plague of demons has been brought under control, many monks have relaxed.
The missions issued by Wanshi Pavilion have also begun to be accepted one after another, but most of them are descendants of aristocratic clans. Because they have confidence in their own strength and the rewards are generous, it can be regarded as a kind of experience.
However, apart from Qingzhou City, there are other places where monster incidents have occurred one after another, but they are not serious.
It is precisely because of this that most of the eyes of the eastern border of Central Continent are focused on Qingzhou.
After all, the Heaven-Sealing Demon Formation was discovered here, which cannot be ignored.
City Lord's Mansion, inside the lobby.
Several powerful auras sat opposite each other, a total of five people.
They are Taihao Sword Sect Elder Wang Pingan, Jinyi Tianwei Commander Fu Daren, Qingzhou Wanshi Pavilion Pavilion Master, City Lord Qiu Qianhe, and Qingzhou Academy Dean Cheng Hong. These people are the five people with the highest strength and status in Qingzhou City today.
All five looked solemn, but the atmosphere was not as tense as the first time, and seemed much calmer.
"Recently, relying on the efforts of my Taihao Sword Sect and the help of everyone, most of the stones of the Fengtian Demon Formation have been destroyed, and there is no threat to this formation, but no matter what, we should not take it lightly, so Changge Daozi went down a few days ago. I have issued an order to let me, the elder disciple of the Taihao Sword Sect, seal off all important places in the Qingyun Mountains to prevent accidents."
"In addition, disciples from Shushan, Qingcheng and other immortal sects will also come to help, so the burden on us will be much lighter in the future."
Wang Pingan spoke first. He is the elder of Taihao Jianzong and the main figure in the investigation of the Qingzhou incident.
"With the attention of Daozi Changge, I believe that the monsters in Qingzhou will definitely be able to deal with them."
The city lord Qiu Qianhe smiled, with a hint of respect in his words.
Since the appearance of demons in Qingzhou and the discovery of the Fengtian Demon Formation, all major forces in Central Continent have paid close attention to it. Even the two major sword sects of Shushan and Qingcheng are in action. There is no other reason. It is the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation.
The Heaven Sealing Demon Formation is an extremely ancient and terrifying formation. During the Battle of the Boundary Sea, countless monks fell into it.
Although the magic formation discovered in Qingzhou is not large, no one will take it lightly and attach great importance to it.
Afterwards, after discussions among the major forces, it was determined that to deal with the demon formation and demon incident, there must be a leader, unified planning, and unified deployment, and Taihao Sword Sect, which is the closest to Qingzhou, is naturally the most suitable.
Naturally, Taihao Jianzong would not refuse, and finally handed over the matter to the chief elder brother Mu Changge.
Now that Qingzhou is closed, Wanshige releases missions and increases rewards, this series of plans are all written by Mu Changge.
Of course, these things are only known to the few people present. The low-level monks are not qualified to know so much. They just need to follow the arrangements above.
Qiu Qianhe, the city lord of Qingzhou, naturally wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Taihao Sword Sect. If he could be appreciated, there would be a lot of benefits in the future.
"City Lord Qiu is serious. It's all due to the cooperation of everyone. I, Taihao Sword Sect, dare not take the credit for this."
On the other hand, Wang Ping'an smiled, cupped his hands slightly, and acted very modestly.
"Elder Wang is right."
At this time, Lord Fu of Jinyi Tianwei said: "It is not only the Taihao Sword Sect who destroyed the Heaven Sealing Demon Formation and blocked the Qingyun Mountain Range, but also my Great Zhou Dynasty, and Dao friends from various forces. Ours."
His voice was flat, without any emotional ups and downs, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this sentence was aimed at Taihao Sword Sect.
Involuntarily, the pavilion master of Wanshi Pavilion and Cheng Hong, the dean of Qingzhou Academy, both turned their heads to look at Qiu Qianhe.
At this moment, Qiu Qianhe lowered his head and remained silent, with drops of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
As for Wang Ping'an, he drank tea quietly and seemed not to hear.
The Great Zhou Dynasty is the ruler of the world, and the current Great Zhou Sage is even more ambitious. It stands to reason that all places in Central Continent belong to the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty in name, and the city lords of all major forces must obey the orders of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But now the Lord of Qingzhou, who is regarded as a courtier of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is headed by the Taihao Sword Sect and obeys the orders of the Taihao Sword Sect.
As the commander of Jinyi Tianwei, Mr. Fu was naturally dissatisfied with this, so he wanted to say a few words.
In fact, it is not the first time that Taihao Sword Sect and Da Zhou have fought openly and secretly.
Just like the leader who dealt with the demon incident in Qingzhou this time, the Great Zhou court also intends to send the royal family's children here, but they were cut off by Mu Changge. One can imagine the anger in Master Fu's heart.
But it was about monsters, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't say anything, and finally let it go.
"Master Fu and Jinyi Tianwei have really worked hard in recent days, and I, Wanshi Pavilion, have also noticed it."
Seeing the tense atmosphere, the master of the Wanshi Pavilion laughed, and turned to look at Cheng Hong: "Mr. Cheng, I heard that Qingzhou Academy invited a gentleman to give lectures a few days ago. It is said that there were [-] monks attending the lecture that day. , Among them, hundreds of people have enlightened and stepped into the gate of Confucianism, it is really gratifying, this time the demon incident, the Academy must contribute a lot."
He changed the subject because he didn't want the Great Zhou Dynasty and Taihao Sword Sect to face each other, otherwise everyone present would be affected.
And Wanshige's business is spread all over the human cultivation world, so it is naturally a big face, and everyone has to give up three points.
So after the Wanshi Pavilion Master spoke, the atmosphere was indeed much better.
Cheng Hong also knew what the other party meant, and nodded immediately: "Yes, the effect of this lecture has also exceeded my expectations, so when I have time, I will also come to thank Mr. Song in person."
After speaking, Cheng Hong glanced at Wang Pingan not far away without leaving any trace, but only with a light sweep.
"I've also heard about this matter. That Mr. Song is a real talent."
Master Fu also spoke, and continued with a little curiosity in his words: "Mr. Cheng, you also know that the court has always favored talents, and although I, Fu Yuan, is a rough person, I have a heart for those talented people." I also admire it very much, if it is possible, before Mr. Cheng comes to the door, can you bring me to meet that Mr. Song?"
After the words fell, the lobby fell into silence again, and even Cheng Hong's face changed slightly, and he stopped talking.
"Although some people have left, it doesn't mean we don't care."
Wang Pingan looked at Fu Yuan, and said indifferently, "Master Fu, the demon crisis has not been completely resolved, and it is better to fight less if you have some thoughts."
After he finished speaking, the aura around him became a little cold, especially there was a hint of warning in his eyes.
Everyone present was also very quiet, fully understanding the meaning of Wang Ping'an's words.
The Mr. Song invited by Qingzhou Academy, don't they know which Mr. Song it is?It's just that no one pointed it out.
As for what Fu Yuan said, he obviously wanted to get close to the other party. Taihao Sword Sect must have some opinions on this. Even though Mr. Song had already left Taihao Sword Sect, the head teacher of Taihao had also spoken, and everyone knew that Mr. Song has not been given up, and is still regarded as one of his own.
Wang Pingan knew this, so he spoke directly, emphasizing it again to everyone.
There is nothing in Confucianism, there is no distinction between powers, it is just that the methods of practice are different.
But Jinyi Tianwei represents the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Taihao Jianzong naturally cared.
"Elder Wang is right. Now we really need to focus on big things." Fu Yuan looked at Wang Ping'an, his eyes didn't flinch, but he didn't continue to entangle on this topic, but said: "We got news, behind this incident It's an old demon who escaped from Beizhou, even though he was injured and his strength dropped, he still has to be careful, and the disciples of the Taihao Sword Sect must also be careful when they are outside."
Although these words were meant to be caring, they were still full of gunpowder. Wang Ping'an frowned slightly, but he didn't explode. He just said: "We have been prepared for a long time, and we are looking for news about that old demon. Master Fu can rest assured."
This sentence made the other three breathe a sigh of relief. Taihao Sword Sect and the Great Zhou Dynasty did have some disagreements, but luckily they could clearly see right and wrong.
"Both of you are right. The most important thing now is to work together to deal with the monsters."
The master of the Wanshi Pavilion and Cheng Hong, the dean of the academy, spoke accordingly.
We didn't continue to talk about Song Zhishu's topic, otherwise the problem of demons has not been resolved, and internal strife will be bad.
Wang Ping'an and Fu Yuan just looked at each other and began to continue to improve the plan.
The five of them are the executors of Qingzhou Demon's Trouble, so there can be no problems.
Otherwise, if something big happens, few can afford it.
Cheng Hong looked at the two people in front of him, shook his head slightly, and thought of Song Zhishu's figure. Although he was only in the Foundation Establishment Realm and seemed unimportant, he was favored by everyone. He deserved to be able to face Mu Changge directly.
at the same time.
In a guest room of Yunlingzhai.
Song Zhishu sat cross-legged, and the sky thunder bottle stood above his head, sending down streaks of purple thunder.
The thick thunder force continuously swam around his body, buzzing, as if it contained terrifying power.
In an instant, Song Zhishu opened his eyes, and a ray of thunder flashed in his eyes, and the breath revealed from his body was stronger than before, and it was just pure physical strength.
"Finally tempered my physique to the mid-stage of foundation establishment, only half a month has passed, and the Sky Thunder Bottle really did not disappoint me."
Song Zhishu clenched his fists and was very satisfied after feeling the power bred in the flesh and blood.
He found that because he had been tempered with the lightning power of the sky thunder bottle, his body also contained a trace of thunder power, but because he hadn't fought against the enemy, he didn't know how strong it was.
But all in all, now his two weakest abilities have been fully raised.
Also, during this period of time, Song Zhishu also inscribed dozens of precious jades, plus the pills and talismans that existed before, everything is ready, and he has now reached the strongest state at this stage.
"It's time to collide with that so-called monster."
Song Zhishu's expression was calm. Thinking of the news from Chen Jingyun a few days ago, he had successfully built the foundation, and he would take the task and leave the city in a few days, and the time should be almost the same now.
And just as he was thinking about this, there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Song."
鏉ヤ 钖楋纻
Song Zhishu naturally recognized whose voice it was, and immediately got up to open the door.
There were four people standing outside the door, besides Chen Jingyun, there were Lin Cheng, Wang Chong and Li Xiansong.
Song Zhishu made a salute, and immediately invited all the people in.
"Mr. Song." Chen Jingyun bowed his hand to return the salute, came to the room and sat down and said, "I discussed it with the three fellow Taoists Lin Cheng, and the five of us formed a team. In addition, according to the requirements of the Wanshi Pavilion, there are five more people." I have already found it, and will meet us on the day of departure."
Wanshi Pavilion issued a task related to the demon incident. Apart from the must have Confucian scholars, a team must have at least ten people.
The purpose is that if there is a real crisis, they can take care of each other even in the case of a large number of people.
Otherwise, if the number of people is too small, problems will easily occur.
Song Zhishu naturally had no objection to this, and the joining of Lin Cheng and others was also agreed a few days ago by the two of them. After all, the five of them had cooperated before and established a relationship of mutual trust long ago. Cultivation is naturally the best choice.
"Okay, I just don't know who are the other five people that Mr. Chen is looking for?" Song Zhishu handed over the matter of finding people to the other party, but he was about to leave the city soon, so naturally he had to find out in advance.
"They are all casual cultivators. I have investigated them before, and they all have good character. Speaking of which, those people have also listened to Mr. Song's lectures in the academy. I heard that they are very happy to have you join us out of the city this time. I want to come to see you in advance, but I think Mr. Song may be making preparations, so I declined for you, anyway, I will leave in a few days, and there is no rush for a day or two." Chen Jingyun replied.
"Mr. Chen is right. You don't know Song Daoyou. Since you gave a lecture at the academy last time, your reputation has risen greatly. Many casual cultivators have heard of it. The reason why Qingzhou Academy does not set a threshold for lectures is you. I admire you very much, and said that I wanted to see your true face, but I was stopped by Mr. Chen."
"Yes, even the three of us have Confucian righteousness in our bodies after listening to your lecture."
"Mr. Chen also said that during this period of time, people came to the academy every day to ask if you would give lectures again."
Lin Cheng and the others took the words, with exclamation and excitement in their words. In the eyes of the three of them, Song Zhishu was like a god-man, and only admiration remained in their hearts.
It should be noted that they had been to Qingzhou Academy before the city was closed, and wanted to see if they had the talent for reading, but the reality was cruel, and they were not even qualified to become students, but because they listened to Song Zhishu's lectures, they actually cultivated Confucian righteousness .
The three of them haven't shown up in the past few days, but they are also adapting to this force and preparing to leave the city at the same time.
Hearing this, Song Zhishu noticed that there was indeed a surge of Confucian righteousness in Lin Cheng's body, but it was very weak, and it was hard to see if you didn't feel it carefully. They were generally at the stage of just getting started.
So he smiled softly, and then said: "This is the good fortune of the three fellow Taoists, and has little to do with me."
Song Zhishu understands that if there is no lecture on that day, if the three of them have to spare time and concentrate on studying hard, it will only be a matter of time before they develop Confucian righteousness, and of course that's all.
But as long as Confucianism is upright, it will indeed have more confidence when facing monsters.
However, Song Zhishu didn't say much about this matter, and immediately turned to look at Chen Jingyun and said, "Mr. Chen, since the arrangement has been made, let's talk about the situation of this mission first, so that we can find out in advance."
The three of Lin Cheng also nodded. They came here today to make final preparations for leaving the city.
"Right on my mind."
Hearing this, Chen Jingyun took a deep breath: "Our mission this time is to go to a few villages three hundred miles outside the city, which were originally the residences of mortals. Some time ago, a cultivator from a sect passed by, but found that the villagers of several villages had disappeared strangely."
In addition to the main city, Qingzhou also encompasses several other sub-cities and thousands of villages, large and small.
The closure of the city is only the main city, as for other places, monks will be sent to garrison according to the situation.
In order to ensure that if a monster is found, it can be notified at any time and a timely response can be made.
This is what Song Zhishu has already learned.
"And then? Where did the guardian monk go?"
Lin Cheng opened his mouth out of curiosity. It is not difficult to make the mortals in several villages disappear. The key is whether they live or die with those monks, which can bring more information.
"Afterwards, Wanshi Pavilion and the City Lord's Mansion sent people to investigate the situation, but they found no clues, and there were no traces of fighting, as if they disappeared out of thin air." Chen Jingyun continued with a serious tone: "After a few days of investigation , I found the garrisoned monk hundreds of miles outside the village, but he was not injured, but he didn’t know what happened, he knew his name and identity, but he just lost all the memories about the village, which was very weird.”
"The Wanshi Pavilion and the City Lord's Mansion concluded that this was a demonic disturbance, because only demons can do so without anyone noticing, and immediately released the task."
He told all the details of this mission without missing a single bit.
After Chen Jingyun finished speaking, Lin Cheng and the others suddenly became serious.
Without knowing it, let the people of the whole village disappear directly, or with the qi training monks stationed.
Several people are in the Foundation Establishment Realm. It is actually not difficult to do this. The difficulty lies in making a person lose a certain memory, not to mention the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Because this is not an ordinary loss of memory, but a part of it is extracted, and they have not heard of such a thing.
For a moment, several people became even more afraid of the so-called demon in their hearts.
Song Zhishu fell silent.
He was thinking about the information provided by Chen Jingyun.
His thinking was actually similar to that of Lin Cheng and the others, and he felt that the method with the demon was very strange.
However, Song Zhishu didn't think deeply about it, and after pondering for a while, he said slowly: "Then when shall we set off?"
It is useless to sit here and think no matter how much, the only way to understand the situation is to go to investigate in person, especially the means of the monster, and he finally knows why all the major forces have paid so much attention to it, and the mortals in several villages have disappeared strangely, which is too weird up.
And since Wanshi Pavilion can release it as a task, it is obvious that this kind of incident is not too big.
The really serious ones are those that need to be dealt with by major forces, even Taihao Sword Sect.
"I'm ready, tomorrow morning."
When Chen Jingyun opened his mouth, he had already made a plan. After all, he initiated the investigation of the demon incident this time, so he must be fully prepared.
"it is good."
Song Zhishu heard that he also meant the same thing, the sooner the better.
Who knows if the so-called demon will stay after the villager disappears.
"The three of us have no objection." Seeing that Zhishu Song agreed, Lin Cheng and the others also had no objection. As for the fear in their hearts, they were also suppressed. Since they decided to go, they would not regret it. Besides, they also had Confucian righteousness in their bodies. Some confidence.
Immediately, the five of them chatted about the details of the trip, as well as things to be prepared, and then dispersed.
This was the first time they faced the monster, and everyone was in a serious mood.
In addition to completing the tasks issued by the Wanshi Pavilion.
The most important thing is to keep the trip safe and sound, and of course I don't have the heart to say anything else.
Song Zhishu was the only one left in the room soon, still thinking about what Chen Jingyun said. The methods of the demon are indeed weird. I haven't really seen them yet, but they already give people a great sense of oppression.
"Everything will be tomorrow."
Song Zhishu muttered to himself, didn't say anything more, and just sat down cross-legged.
I plan to use this last time to adjust my state to the best.
There was nothing to say all night, and before I knew it, day and night alternated.
Early in the morning, the sun rises.
The light of the great sun shines on the earth, giving people an extremely warm feeling.
On the bed, Song Zhishu opened his eyes, got up and tidied up, prepared everything and walked out of the inn.
The streets of Qingzhou City still looked deserted, not as prosperous as before, but as time passed, the demon incident was brought under control, and many people started to go out, unlike before where few people could not be seen.
Song Zhishu started from the inn and walked all the way to the place agreed yesterday, which is the gate of Dongcheng.
Before they got close, they found that Chen Jingyun and others were already waiting there.
In addition to the other five people, their cultivation bases are all in the foundation establishment stage. Among them is an obese monk who is in the middle stage of foundation establishment and looks familiar.
He was the only person who asked questions during the lecture that day.
Song Zhishu remembered and had some impressions of that person, but he didn't say much and walked over directly.
"Let me introduce to fellow Taoists. This is Song Zhishu, Mr. Song, who cultivates both Taoism and Confucianism, and is also the leader of this mission." Chen Jingyun waited for Song Zhishu to approach, and immediately spoke to everyone, with a smile in his eyes.
He was the organizer of the mission, but it was dangerous to go out of the city, so he handed over the leading mission to Zhishu Song.
The reason is also very simple. After all, Song Zhishu is the one with the highest cultivation level and the strongest strength among the ten people present.
There is no doubt that the strong have a dominant position wherever they are.
Song Zhishu also followed the words, and bowed his hands slightly to salute: "I have met five fellow daoists. I hope to cooperate with a few fellow daoists along the way to get rid of the trouble of demons."
"Mr. Song is polite."
The fat monk immediately stepped forward and said directly: "Student Yuan Ming, who has been studying for several years, but he still couldn't get the point. He listened to the gentleman's way of being a gentleman that day, and he suddenly became enlightened. He cultivated Confucian righteousness and entered the Confucian atmosphere , I have not thanked you sir, see you today, please allow the students to perform the disciple ceremony."
After finishing speaking, Yuan Ming immediately bowed to salute, his posture was very low, and his tone was very sincere.
"Yuan Daoyou is polite."
Seeing this, Song Zhishu helped the other party up, and said with a smile: "I am also invited by Mr. Cheng Hong. If you want to thank, you should thank Mr. Cheng."
What he said is correct, after all, Mr. Cheng Hong mentioned it when he gave a lecture last time.
"Mr. Song is too modest. You don't set a threshold for your lectures, and anyone who goes can listen to them. You are so open-minded, and I really respect you." Another monk spoke. He also listened to Song Zhishu's lectures in the academy, and he did the same thing as Yuan Ming. Received a disciple ceremony.
"Mr. Song, let them do what they want. You have 3000 people listening to your lectures. In our Confucianism, they can indeed be counted as your students."
Chen Jingyun came forward and asked Song Zhishu not to stop him, to explain people's doubts and enlighten them, he is considered a teacher in Confucianism.
Regarding this, Song Zhishu felt quite helpless, but he also knew that it was really bad to disagree.
Not long after, the rest of the people also began to salute, and then introduced themselves one by one.
Except for Yuan Ming, the other four were named Gu Siqing, Shen Xing, Lou Zhong, and Sha Wenxuan, together with Lin Cheng and others and Song Zhishu, a group of ten people, and all of them had one characteristic, that is, they were all loose cultivators.
According to Chen Jingyun, although the disciples of the aristocratic sect are stronger, they also have arrogance and sometimes disobey orders.
But casual cultivators are different. Facing those who are stronger than themselves, they will obey even if they have opinions.
Especially since he has been carefully selected, there must be no problem in cooperation.
Immediately afterwards, everyone discussed the plan and details of the mission, and immediately prepared to set off.
However, it is now during the closure of the city, and you must have a mission badge jointly issued by the Wanshi Pavilion and the City Lord's Mansion before you can leave the city. Chen Jingyun has already prepared these, and after the inspection of the monks protecting the city, everyone left the city.
The target location is three hundred miles away from Qingzhou City. In order to hurry, everyone unanimously decided to fly with the sword.
"Mr. Song, fellow Taoists, the first place we went to was called Luojiazhuang, and it was also the place where we first discovered the accident. It is the closest place. The plan is that we stay there for one night. If there is no If you find it, go to the next place."
On the sky, ten sword figures walked with swords, Song Zhishu was in the center, and Chen Jingyun beside him was introducing the general situation.
There were several places where the accident happened. For the sake of safety, they did not choose to separate, but acted together.
It is inevitable that we will not be able to cope with the crisis at that time.
But Song Zhishu and Chen Jingyun are scholars who have really entered the realm, and with their own cultivation, the other eight naturally obeyed and nodded.
Immediately, the crowd stopped talking and looked forward, three hundred miles was not very far to them.
So before half a day had passed, they were already approaching their destination.
"The front is Luojiazhuang."
Chen Jingyun took the map and pointed to a distance.
Song Zhishu cast his eyes immediately, and saw a village in front of him, backed by a hill, and a winding river in front of the village, but it was almost exhausted, and the scene in the village was not very clear, covered by wisps of water. Covered in clouds and fog, it can be seen that there are about a few hundred people, neither big nor small.
And he also found that when he looked at the village, the aura of righteousness in his body was slightly vibrating, and he seemed to feel it.
Looking at Chen Jingyun aside, there was nothing unusual on his expression, obviously he didn't notice it.
Haoran righteousness is purer than general Confucian righteousness.
I can feel it, but it doesn't mean that every Confucian scholar can, let alone the other party is still a saint.
After thinking for a while, Song Zhishu didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Don't land directly in Luojiazhuang, let's observe outside first."
"Yes."
Chen Jingyun saw that Song Zhishu might have found something, but he didn't ask, but called the rest of the people down.
When they came to the ground, everyone looked at Luojiazhuang not far away without saying a word.
All areas of Zhuangzi are surrounded by walls, and the front is a closed red-lacquered gate.
The paint surface seems to have passed a little time, but it is still very bright red, like flowing blood.
There is also a plaque on it, with the three characters of "Luojiazhuang" written on it.
"Mr. Song?"
Chen Jingyun looked at Song Zhishu and said, "Go in now?"
Song Zhishu didn't answer immediately, but sensed it with awe-inspiring righteousness, and found that the previous feeling disappeared. There seemed to be no problem with Zhuangzi in front of him, and he found no abnormality when he poked out his soul. After a short silence, he nodded : "Go in, but remember, don't separate, at least within sight."
A monk has a soul that can perceive, which is more useful than eyes, but in many cases, the soul may be shielded, at least within the line of sight.
"Okay." Chen Jingyun nodded and waved his hand, and everyone entered together without hesitation.
Pushing open the red lacquered gate, the scene inside Zhuangzi came into view.
The road in front of you is covered with fallen leaves, dry flowers and plants, and bare branches, each of which indicates that this place is uninhabited. , which is not messy except for some dust.
There are even cooked meals, but they have gone rancid after a long time.
After entering, everyone present felt a chill.
But it's not obvious.
"Sure enough, it disappeared suddenly."
After seeing this, Song Zhishu immediately realized that the villagers in the village had indeed disappeared suddenly, and they didn't even feel any danger during the disappearance, otherwise the house would not be so clean.
"What should we do now?" Lin Cheng's mouth was a little dry and his tone was hoarse. It was obviously a mortal village, but it gave him a strange feeling.
It should be noted that the leader of the fire pattern spirit monkey in the later stage of foundation establishment did not give him such a feeling.
"Search all the houses and see if you find anything."
It was the first time for Song Zhishu to encounter such a situation, and he couldn't make any good decisions. He could only search room by room. If he couldn't find any clues, he would stay here for one night as Chen Jingyun said before.
But the more this is the case, the more careful you have to be, monsters, monsters, what is a demon?Unfathomable, unpredictable.
The other nine people nodded after hearing the words, but they didn't choose to separate. Instead, they searched together from the first room in Zhuangzi.
Song Zhishu, on the other hand, was in front of everyone, and at the same time, he kept surging righteousness in his body. As long as there was a problem, he would take a strong shot. Just when he pushed open the first door, a biting chill hit him slowly.
bump!
It was at this moment that a violent bang appeared in the ears of everyone present.
It was Zhuangzi's gate, which was pushed directly at this moment and scattered on the ground.
A burst of breath poured in.
Everyone was running mana, looking at the red painted door that fell on the ground, extremely vigilant.
Is it a demon?
