Fu Shifeng

Chapter 119
Pang Yanjin stepped forward with his hands behind his back, with a calm look on his face, and walked quickly over the wilderness.The speed of his figure is comparable to that of a galloping horse, but his feet are treading snow without a trace, as if flying over the ground, and the speed has not slowed down for dozens of miles, even a master of lightness kung fu will feel ashamed.

When Pang Yanjin came to a quiet and uninhabited river valley, he stopped and put the hand behind his back on his back and handed it in front of him. Between his fingers was a talisman with a dim aura. It could be seen that there was a picture of a horse drawn on it, which was the reason why he was able to run so fast.

Taoism has always had the spells of climbing high and dangerous places, traveling far and wide, or shrinking back and forth, or riding the wind and waves.What Pang Yanjin learned was the method of riding a yak, and if he cultivated to a high level, he could flow around the world, regardless of mountains and rivers, and even travel in the Taiqing and ascend to the real.

A few years ago, Bai Yunzi, the master of the Qing Dynasty, sent hundreds of volumes of Taoist scriptures from Tongbai Palace to Chang'an to assist in the compilation of "Three Caves and Qiong Gang".And Pang Yanjin was fortunate to have heard Bai Yunzi talk about the three steps of ascension to the real when he first entered the Taoist sect many years ago.

Among the three swans, the top is the dragon swan, the middle is the tiger swan, and the bottom is the deer swan, each with its own mysteries.

Those who want to cultivate the dragon yoke must first refine the precious mirror according to the number of heaven and earth, and then open the altar to practice the method, use the precious mirror to attract the energy of Lihuo, mix it with the true energy of the whole body, and imagine it as the shape of a red dragon.Then it is practiced against the mirror, and finally it is refined into a red dragon that can start and stop at will.

Riding on this red dragon, Taoists can go up and down the world, through mountains and into waters, and roam around the caves and blessed places without hindrance.

However, this method of dragon swaying has already surpassed the scope of ordinary soaring and flying away. It is actually a profound and wonderful method of refining the body into qi, preserving the gods and transforming into a dragon.

As for the method of the tiger's bow, it is also necessary to open an altar to practice, to attract the spirit of Gengxin, and to be a white tiger with wind and rocks in mind, which is used to sacrifice a golden seal of tiger buttons.If you practice this method to a high level, you will naturally be able to take the wind off the ground and climb hundreds of feet into the air, and there will be tigers to protect the method, so that the spirits and heretics dare not offend.

But in the same way, if one wants to practice the method of the tiger's bow, the requirements for the Taoist's qi refining skills are quite high.The lungs govern breathing, and the five elements belong to metal. If there is no long-lasting air mechanism, how can we ride the wind lightly?
The requirements of the first two are too high, and there are very few people in the world who can achieve it, and the third level of the deer knuckle method is the level that most practitioners can reach.

To practice the method of deer stalking, you must open the altar and use white mao peach leaves as spirit guides, and imagine the hazy white deer to come to the altar with flowers and fruits, and enclose the hazy white deer with a bamboo stick or white wattle wood.

After the success of the deer, the Taoist travels with a stick, as fast as a galloping horse and leaps faster than a deer. It is easy to go into the mountains to collect medicines, and it is especially convenient to climb the steep hills.

Pang Yanjin is very aware of his own state, and he also worked hard on the deer knuckle method at the beginning, but for some reason, the results were minimal.

Later, when he was appointed as the prestige envoy of Shuofang Taoism, he saw the heroic horses of the Shuofang army, so he thought of a different way, often thinking about the shape of a galloping horse, and even opened an altar to collect the souls of war horses in the name of superseding the fallen soldiers, thus creating a unique method of horse riding.

"Unfortunately, it is still inconvenient to use a spell to cast it." Pang Yanjin flicked his wrist, and the talisman spontaneously ignited and turned into ashes in an instant.

Looking up at a gloomy forest in the distance, Pang Yanjin frowned slightly.I think he just took up the post of Weiyi envoy back then, and he toured the Shuofang states according to the rules, learning about customs and customs.

But one night on the way, when Pang Yanjin was practicing as usual, he suddenly sensed an external evil coming and disturbing his spirit.

Although the evil was as weak as a ray, not enough to damage his cultivation, it gave him a faint glimpse of an unheard-of ancient phenomenon, as if a treasure that had been dust-covered in an ancient tomb was about to be born, and only waited for someone to pick it up, so he took the initiative to search for the source of the evil.

Pang Yanjin also came to this river valley in the past, walked through the dark forest, and went straight into the depths of the ground. When he saw the huge black rock, he immediately understood why there was a large desert moraine with sparse grass and trees in the Shuofang States.

Pang Yanjin could tell at a glance that this huge black rock was an evil, and as a Daoist prestige envoy, he should completely eradicate this ominous evil.But at that time, he made a mistake and did not take action to destroy the giant rock, nor did he report the matter to others. Instead, he had the idea of ​​using it.

And what made him firmly believe in this idea was those sheep hoof monsters who suddenly appeared.

"The Heiyang Gong who once shocked Shuofang turned out to be you guys who have no wisdom to play monsters. It's really ridiculous."

When Pang Yanjin stood among the corpses of the goat hooves on the ground, his hands were drooping, and his expression was calm, not at all like the person who had done so many killings just now. This calmness was enough to make the group of brutal goat hooves intimidate.

After reviewing the manuscripts of the predecessors of Xuanwu Temple, Pang Yanjin can roughly confirm that the black sheep male who was worshiped by the Hu people in Shuofang area for a long time in the past may be the original body of this black cloudy rock.Those goat hooves are nothing more than the monster's family members who have been dyed by the giant rock. They instinctively protect the giant rock itself, and at the same time kidnap babies, so as to maintain the group.

Although the goat's hooves were vigorous, agile and swift, in Pang Yanjin's view, they were not very powerful, and their own spells alone were enough to deal with them.

But that huge black rock is extraordinary. It can not only infect living beings, but also spread evil power invisibly, turning it into a nightmare to intrude on other people's minds.

During these years in Shuofang Zhuzhou, Pang Yanjin paid special attention to various disappearance cases, and more than once learned that Hu Han men and women were lured away by the black shadow giant rock without knowing it.Ordinary people mostly thought it was sleepwalking hysteria and behaved abnormally, and they even asked Pang Yanjin to exorcise evil spirits.

Pang Yanjin himself is proficient in manipulating ghosts and spirits. After seeing this method of manipulating ordinary people's minds, he couldn't help but feel greedy.If this huge black rock can be used by oneself, wouldn't it be possible to manipulate those high-ranking and powerful ordinary people at will?

After several years of secret experiments, Pang Yanjin felt that he had roughly figured out how to use this huge black cloud rock. During this period, he also found a female ghost who had just died unjustly in Baiyanchi. A talisman easily detained her and began to plan for the future.

According to the original idea, Pang Yanjin hoped to transform the black cloudy rock into a spiritual god. In the name of his Taoist majesty, he gathered incense believers and built a shrine for him, which gradually became accepted by the world.

Of course, in this process, Pang Yanjin's own reputation and status must be established. He let the Yanchi girl make trouble, so that he can act when everyone expects him, thus paving the way for another god to be established.

But at the beginning of the Yanchi girl's troubles, Yang Taichu once attracted Yang Taichu to send troops to patrol the border. This move made Pang Yanjin have to re-examine the current situation.

Shuofang Zhuzhou is full of martial virtues, his Taoist prestige of expelling ghosts and spirits cannot be reused, even if he can solve the evil spirits in Yanchi, he may not be able to win Yang Taichu's favor.

After some deliberation, Pang Yanjin felt that the only way for him to fish out of troubled waters was to plunge the Shuofang states into chaos.Especially not long ago, he heard that the monsters in the Western Regions were making trouble, which made him feel that this matter is not impossible.

And when Mrs. Liu came to ask for it in person and revealed her identity as a secret agent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Pang Yanjin found an opportunity to cause chaos.

In his opinion, if the secret agents stationed by the Ministry of the Interior were suddenly killed, the most suspicious person would be the local officials.

That being the case, it would be better to make the situation worse.Pang Yanjin left Lingwu City in the name of investigating the evil spirits in Yanchi, but turned back quietly, expelled the guardian ghosts and gods, and directly killed Liu's family without leaving any traces.

In Pang Yanjin's view, this move could stir up conflicts between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Shuofang Jiedushi. Even if Yang Taichu could keep his position, he would have no time to be distracted. Facing the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he would hold his troops even tighter, so he would have more room for maneuver in his private actions.

Unfortunately, the arrival of Cheng Sanwu and others completely disrupted Pang Yanjin's plan. Not only was Yang Taichu not charged with suspicion, but another group of internal servants actually deliberately dealt with Cheng Sanwu and pinned all the crimes on him, which surprised Pang Yanjin.

However, Cheng Sanwu was also disrupting Pang Yanjin's plan. When they met for the first time in Yanchi City, Pang Yanjin felt that Cheng Sanwu had found out that he was the murderer of Mrs. Liu, and Zhang Fan's probing words also proved this point.

Who would have expected that Mrs. Liu would also record such trivial things as the two of them meeting and talking?After Pang Yanjin killed Mrs. Liu's family, he never thought of searching the house and courtyard.

Therefore, Pang Yanjin planned to use Black Yanggong's family members to catch Cheng Sanwu and others in one go, trying to get his plan back on track, but those goat hooves were also vulnerable to Cheng Sanwu.

After learning that Cheng Sanwu was going to find the Black Yanggong's lair, Pang Yanjin couldn't bear it anymore.He has always hoped to monopolize the Black Obsidian Rock, how can he allow outsiders to destroy his plan?Anyway, the flaws have been exposed, since sooner or later he will be found out to be the real murderer of the Liu family, then Pang Yanjin doesn't bother to put on an air.

With a certain thought, Pang Yanjin's palm formula changed, and the gloomy and dense forest full of thick thorns gave way to a downward path. He went straight in, and when he came to the dark and dark underground cave, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sensation, and took out a solid wooden hairpin from his waist.

"You lost so quickly? Useless guy!"

Pang Yanjin was very displeased to learn that the Yanchi girl had been killed, but he had to admit that Cheng Sanwu was highly skilled in martial arts, and a mere female ghost couldn't stop him at all.

When he lowered his head in thought, several goat hooves in the corner with vicious murderous intent in their eyes rushed out together, each holding a scrap weapon in their hands, intending to kill Pang Yanjin together.

But Pang Yanjin didn't see any movement. When those goat hoof monsters approached within three feet of him, he was severely injured by a strange force invisible to the naked eye.

"It's like this again, nothing new."

Pang Yanjin didn't bother to laugh, and didn't even look at the sheep-footed monster who was easily defeated by him: "I have the protection of General Liujia Weidao, who can protect me even when I am asleep and comatose. It is wishful thinking to want to hurt me just because of your ignorance."

After saying this, Pang Yanjin shook out a few spells with his hands, and with a wave of his arm, the spells turned into arrows, easily shooting the heads of those goat hoof monsters to pieces. His style was extremely tough, and he was not at all like the poor and shabby Taoist prestige envoy before.

Pang Yanjin has been able to use the black shadow giant rock to drive this group of goatshoes, but they are as unruly as ever, these lowly monsters have never given their true allegiance to him, and once they have the opportunity, they will try to bite him back.

In recent years, there have been no fewer than ten assassinations similar to Cai Cai's, and they couldn't even hurt a single hair of Pang Yanjin, so he felt a little boring and bored.

Although these goatshoes are all dyed and transformed by ordinary human babies, their minds are not much higher than those of wild animals. They have no education in the world, let alone farming, weaving and construction. The weapons and blades in their hands are picked up from various battlefields.

If there are any merits of these goat hooves, it may be that they are good at running and running like the wind, and they are extremely tolerant of hardships. However, even the light cavalry scouts in the Shuofang army cannot catch up with them after traveling long distances for many days without sleep.Coupled with the large land and sparse population of the Shuofang states, these sheep's hooves can survive for many years, and they cannot be completely wiped out.

The underground cave where the black shadow giant rock is located can be roughly compared to the king's tooth tent for the sheep's foot family, and they don't gather here on weekdays.

But every new moon, when the qi of heaven and earth changes from yin to yang, the sheep's hoof family members scattered all over will come here, send the babies they have captured, and offer them to the black cloud rock like sacrifices, so as to dye them into the same kind.

However, in Pang Yanjin's view, this approach is really reckless.The giant black-covered rock devours vitality and gnaws at the earth veins, just like a alchemy furnace, which can melt the essence of heaven and earth without the need for Taoists to collect metals and eight stones.

Taoists refine the panacea for the purpose of rebirth and rebirth.The infecting of mortal babies by the black cloud rock can also be regarded as a different kind of "reborn", but it is a pity that it is extremely crude, and it just needs the advice and guidance of a monk like Pang Yanjin.

Pang Yanjin is looking forward to the day when his body grows into a feather suit and flies by himself, compared to starting with horns and feet. Pang Yanjin looks forward to the day when he can grow his body and fly by himself. If it is not possible, taking all the vitality and earth energy absorbed by the black shadow giant rock for many years will definitely make his cultivation level leap forward.

Ignoring the goat's hooves who were about to move, Pang Yanjin came to the black shadow giant rock and raised his hand to press it lightly. The mysterious and unpredictable black shadow did not feel the slightest touch, and it was completely free from the moisture of clouds and water vapor.

Pang Yanjin looked at the huge black rock in front of him, his eyes were gradually covered with a layer of blackness, and the greedy look on his face became more and more intense, almost like a madman, and he murmured in a low voice: "This is my treasure of enlightenment, it will always be mine, and no one can take it away..."
