Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 228 I won't move even if I'm beaten to death
The dust that is invisible to the naked eye, in the eyes of the monks, is clearly visible and nothing can escape detection.

Xu Yuanchang followed him shopping for nearly an hour, trying to learn the Floating Dust Illusion Seal.

The illusion "floating dust" he condensed fell in groups of three or two onto the hair and body of the black-robed monk five feet away, moistening things silently. Three of them turned invisible as he cast his illusionary mind and words, and merged into the surface of the hair, leaving behind an illusion mark that could block the view.

The young black-robed monk seemed to be aware of something, and a wave of aura surged from his body, clearing away all the "dust" that had stained his body, except for the three illusory invisible marks.

The two looked at each other, one smiling but not smiling, full of sarcasm.

One is indifferent and the other is confrontational.

Xu Yuanchang turned his head and looked at Zeng Shanlang who had reached a deal with his waiter. The young man had no idea that the spiritual coins on his body and the spiritual coins he had exchanged for were marked with countless marks by the black-robed monk who was following him.

The same thing happened at the market yesterday.

It's a blatant provocation.

He always waits for an opportunity to repay others with the fifteenth day of their day.

After the young man counted and put away the spirit coins, Xu Yuanchang walked out of the shop. With Liu Xianfeng protecting the young man, he was not worried that the black-robed monk who was following him like a follower might suddenly attack Zeng Shanlang who was left behind.

He was worried that he couldn't find a reason to take action.

The black-robed monk followed at a distance, and it seemed that his target was not the young man.

Walking into the Yiyue Building across the street, Xu Yuanchang said to the waiter who came forward, "Xiyue Elegant Room. Have Fellow Daoists Shen and Zhao arrived?"

In the morning, he received a message from Jiang Quan of Donglaifang City, informing him that the spiritual spring had been sold.

As the boss of a county monster catcher, Jiang Quan could not easily leave Donglai County. He agreed with Xu Yuanchang to complete subsequent transactions at Yiyue Tower, the monster catcher's base in the nearest Kuoyangfang City, and still send Shen Keli and Zhao Yi to run errands.

The waiter had been informed in advance, and hurriedly extended his hand to invite them, saying, "Senior Shen and Senior Zhao haven't arrived yet, please go upstairs to the West Moon Room for tea."

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Shen Keli and Zhao Yi pushed the door open.

The two sides greeted each other politely, sat down and chatted, and Zeng Shanlang was busy pouring tea and serving water.

After three rounds of tea, Zhao Yi took out a small cloth bag and placed it in front of Xu Yuanchang, saying with a smile: "Shopkeeper Jiang said that if there is such a good thing next time, Brother Xu must remember to look for him."

Shen Keli smiled and continued, "Our shopkeeper Jiang is well-known for not letting his friends suffer any loss. Next time you pass by Donglai Market, Brother Xu must stay for a few more days so that we can show our hospitality."

In a spiritual spring transaction, everyone makes a profit, gets what they need, and everyone is happy.

Xu Yuanchang picked up the cloth bag containing four crystal stones, opened it and took a look, then put it into his sleeve with satisfaction.

As the old saying goes, "Easy money makes money, hard work doesn't make money."

He now fully understood it and said, "Manager Jiang and you two are straightforward and generous people. Next time I pass by Donglai Market, I will definitely visit you. Thanks to you two for your kind words. If we can find more good things like this on the road, we will have the opportunity to sit down and drink tea more often."

The two of them laughed and raised their cups to offer tea.

Putting down the teacup, Xu Yuanchang returned the handwritten letter from Jiang Quan that he had received last time to the two of them.

The transaction was completed, and the two men, on behalf of Shopkeeper Jiang, invited Xu Yuanchang to have a drink and chat about some interesting stories about monster catchers.

Before dark, the banquet was over and the three of them walked out of Yiyue Tower chatting and laughing. Two of them had to rush back to Donglai County overnight, and Zeng Shanlang followed behind.

Xu Yuanchang's heart moved, and he asked in a voice transmission: "Two brothers, do you recognize the fellow Taoist in black sitting alone in the left corner of the restaurant hall?"

Shen Keli and Zhao Yi stopped and scanned the restaurant with their spiritual sense, but both said they didn't recognize the man.

"Brother Xu, are you in any trouble? Do you need us to ask the shopkeeper of Yiyue Tower to help us find out the background of that person?"

"That person has been following us for a few days, but I don't know what he wants to do."

Xu Yuanchang conveyed the message in a tactful way.

Of course, he wanted to use official channels to find out the identity of the black-robed monk who was following them.

He is so confident, his identity must be complicated?
Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Brother Xu, wait a moment," and returned to the restaurant alone.

Shen Keli accompanied Xu Yuanchang for a stroll on the street, watching the lights gradually brighten.

Although the monks did not have much concept of celebrating the New Year, the streets and markets were still decorated with lights and colors, making it look very festive.

After a while, Zhao Yi caught up with him from behind. He looked a little unnatural. He sent a message to Xu Yuanchang who had stopped walking, reminding him, "He is a cultivator working for the Shu family in the capital. Brother Xu, be careful."

He did not elaborate on his specific name.

He bowed and said goodbye, then flew away in a hurry with Shen Keli.

There are some things they can't help with, and they don't want to get into trouble.

"The Shu family of Feiyun City is one of the major families in Jianshan Country."

Xu Yuanchang had learned about the major sects and families of the dynasties along the Kuxin Road in advance for reference purposes.

After learning about the origins of the black-robed monk, he became more confused. He returned to the inn and told Liu Xianfeng about the matter. The two discussed it for a long time but still could not come up with a clue.

The black-robed monk went from stalking secretly to openly provoking us, so he definitely wasn't trying to treat us to a meal.

There is not a trace of goodwill, and all malice is revealed.

He had already destroyed the "Jiang" among the four major families of Xue, Yu, Wu and Jiang in the Daning Dynasty.

In a foreign country, he doesn't want to get into trouble with the local boss.

So far, he still doesn't know what the other party intends to do?

"It is inconvenient for them to act recklessly within the borders of Jianshan Country. When we leave Jianshan Country and enter the Thousand Mountains and Hills, perhaps that will be the time for them to show their cards."

"The Shu family should be concerned about the rules of the Ancestral Holy Land and not dare to send the fourth-floor masters to deal with us, right?"

"It's hard to say. We still don't know what their intentions are. Let's take it one step at a time."

Xu Yuanchang never had the extravagant hope that the big families would be "very disciplined". Jiang Tangtang back then was an example of someone who acted recklessly. Now, it is unknown who in the Shu family wanted to deal with him and for what benefit?
The big families are also very complicated and full of factions.

An unknown little character like him shouldn't be worth the attention of the masters of the Fifth Floor.

The rabbit in the ring space encouraged, "Kill them! If they dare to provoke you, you can recite the real name of the three-legged turtle and play a big game to destroy the Shu family. Fortune and wealth are sought in chaos. How can there be opportunities if there is no chaos? Let the world see who is backing you up?"

Xu Yuanchang rolled his eyes in his heart. The rabbit who deliberately wanted to create chaos in the world should be killed.

He calmly wrapped the ring with calm energy and confined the rabbit.

There will be consequences for talking nonsense.

This time the rabbit did not throw a tantrum, and its eyes were shining with colorful light.

He was locked in a small, peaceful artifact space.

How to survive his "calamity of heaven and earth" is the problem that worries him.

Until a solution is found, he will stay in this space and refuse to leave no matter who asks him to leave.

I would never move even if you kill me.

Of course, there seems to be no one in this world who can kill him...right?

But if he can’t survive the catastrophe of heaven and earth, he will really die!

Everything disappeared in smoke, even the residual soul and illusion no longer existed. There is no reincarnation, which is very tragic.

Xu Yuanchang took out the communication talisman and briefly described his current situation and his speculation that the Shu family of Jianshan Kingdom might be involved with the killer forces, then sent it to Hei Xiayi.

No matter what the subsequent results are, he has to leave some information in case of any accidents.

I spent the New Year's Eve in Kuoyang Market. I went to the streets several times and never saw the black-robed monk following me. Could it be that he went back to the capital to celebrate the New Year?
Or maybe he used the power of the monster catcher last time to find out the other party's background, making the other party cautious?

I dare not follow him recklessly.

Xu Yuanchang used fire magic to rinse Zeng Shanlang's whole body twice, cleaning up all the spiritual coins, silver and other money that the young man had received, leaving no marks on his body.

On the afternoon of the second day of the first lunar month, Xu Yuanchang finished writing several "illusion" characters with different artistic conceptions. He was quite satisfied with his progress and chatted with the rabbit in the ring space to ask for advice.

"Fellow Daoist Li, is there any way to change the aura and appearance of a Level 1 Body Cultivator so that the masters won't notice?"

"There are many ways, but you can't learn the advanced ones in a short time. The simplest and most effective one is to let me go. In my opinion, you don't have to guard against me like a thief..."

The rabbit lay on its back on the slope of the colorful crystal stone, with its front legs resting on the back of its head, and its hind legs crossed in a difficult manner, shaking leisurely.

He spoke in a relaxed manner, biting a piece of dogtail grass that appeared from nowhere in his mouth.

He has always been generous and responsive to Daoyou Xu's requests.

A heart broad enough to run a hundred wild horses.

Xu Yuanchang interrupted without giving any face: "Fellow Daoist Li, please tell me one method that I can learn in a short time, and don't brag about the rest."

He is not guarding against thieves. He is guarding against rabbits, which is a hundred times better than guarding against thieves.

The thief only wants money, so if the rabbit is released, it will kill him immediately and eat him until not even a bone is left.

The rabbit lay still, crossed his legs, spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth, and said, "Friend Xu, give me a reason I can't refuse. A master like me who works hard without complaint and never retaliates, sometimes I also have a temper."

Xu Yuanchang laughed in his heart, thinking that he was aware of the situation in order to achieve his ulterior motives, right?

He counted on his fingers in a very polite manner, "I used an inestimable spatial treasure to protect you from the wind and rain, and generously lent you a piece of extremely valuable Yingcai crystal stone as a shelter for you. When I was in trouble, it was actually your trouble. We were tied together by a rope, and the troubles were the same. It's not too much for you to do your little bit of help, right? There is an old saying that goes, 'Give and take, only then can there be long-term gains', what do you think?"

The rabbit thought about it seriously and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense."

This kid is really good at making up stories. He is a good candidate for learning illusion.

He turned over and stood up. He knew that he could not act too hastily and had to simmer things slowly. He had to frequently give Fellow Daoist Xu, whose mind was as full of tricks as a hornet's nest, a real illusion. He was always thinking about getting out, causing chaos in the world, and killing people everywhere.

He had successfully made Fellow Daoist Xu believe that he had just woken up and that his cultivation level was at most between the fifth and sixth levels.

We can't let Xu kid give up and have the bad idea of ​​handing him over to some crappy ancestral holy land.

Although it is as easy for him to deal with the little fellow from the fifth floor as to kill an ant.

But it’s a problem. After being thrown out of the small space of the artifact, it would be difficult for him to get in again.

He is not ready yet, and is in a hurry to go out and die.

If he walks out of the space, the thunder in the sky will immediately find him as if it has eyes, and he does not have the ability to withstand it like Yuan Zhu, the three-legged turtle. Does he dare to go out?
The rabbit stopped beating around the bush and asked, "Have you ever learned the simplest trick of deception?"

Xu Yuanchang seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "I have learned it. At present, I have mastered the 'Move Object, Illusion Object, Transform Object' of the Sleight of Hand technique, but I have not yet mastered the fourth level of the Sleight of Hand technique."

"The basic principle of illusion is 'using illusion to deceive the eyes, using objects to deceive the truth'. The other four levels and eight methods are all tricks invented by the old guys. You can learn from them, but don't learn them all. Otherwise, you will lose your own 'illusion'."

The rabbit uttered a few words of contempt for the old fellows whom he disliked, and then demonstrated in detail the key method of "using illusions to deceive the eyes and using objects to deceive the truth".

He is a natural fantasy beast, and what he comprehends is the fantasy way of heaven and earth.

As he performed, the ring space produced all kinds of illusions.

Using illusions to deceive the eyes, using objects to transform people, everything is available.

Bizarre and mysterious, with endless illusions.

"This method has a flaw. Although the illusionist's soul is much stronger than those of the same level, the kid from the fourth floor can still see through it at a glance. You use the illusion stone as a medium to cast this spell on others, but there is also a time limit. The energy of the illusion stone will be consumed. A first-level illusion stone can last for about two hours. You need to rest for at least one or two hours before casting the spell again."

"When you comprehend the profound method, you will not need to rely on any physical objects. You can borrow a wisp of wind that is everywhere to transform into a myriad of things. Even a master who is one level higher than you will find it difficult to distinguish the true from the false."

After the rabbit finished teaching, he was quite moved.

It was with this skill that he was able to travel the world of cultivation with success.

Of course, his success was due to illusion, and his failure was also due to illusion. He was too proud.

He was plotted against by a few old guys, fell into a trap, and was brutally suppressed.

Xu Yuanchang made a note of this point and didn't have to worry about the time limit. He could use it according to his calculations and there would be no mistakes.

His strength is that he is good at calculation and summary.

He had to take a gamble that the monk from the fourth floor would not follow him personally.

After pondering from the afternoon until late at night, Xu Yuanchang discovered that he had underestimated the basic method of "using illusions to deceive the eyes" taught by Daoist Fellow Li.

It was so simple and clear to watch the rabbit practicing. He could learn it once, but it was useless once he used it.

He couldn't use the magic stone for the time being, and he couldn't even complete the construction of the simplest spell hand gestures.

The "illusion" of communicating with heaven and earth is impossible to feel and cannot be touched.

The basis of "using illusions to deceive the eyes" is illusion.

Before letting others enter into an illusion, you must first master your own unique "illusion".

Just like the "sword power" that Yu Fengwu taught him, it was not only a technique, but also a "power" that connects heaven and earth, a unique feeling of sword.

I heard from Liu Xianfeng that it only took Yu Fengwu a "hehe" time to learn the "momentum".

He studied and practiced diligently from dawn to dusk for more than half a year, and finally he got inspiration from the scene of Egg Baby hitting a fly with a swatter, and suddenly he realized his own "sword power".

Things like those that are so mysterious and irrational are sometimes really hard to learn.

The dog bit the turtle but couldn't find its head, which made the person feel helpless and painful.

He even doubted whether the "simplest trick" taught by the rabbit was really a trick, because he still remembered the proverb recorded in the classics that "the black beast is the most untrustworthy beast in the world".

But the rabbit lied to him and put himself in danger.

He also has a trump card, which is the giant turtle monster Ben, which says, "Recite my real name and you will be saved from trouble once."

After he escapes the disaster, this bastard's painstaking journey will definitely be interrupted, and he will go straight back to Daning and head towards Bailin Valley. Throwing the ring into the Jiuhuan Palace will be his most severe revenge on the rabbit.

The insidious and cunning rabbit will understand the pros and cons. Without absolute certainty, the rabbit will not easily annoy him, let alone do something so unskilled.

This is the conclusion he came to after observing and dealing with the industry for nearly half a year.

After listening to Xu Yuanchang's complaint that he couldn't find the "hallucination", Rabbit asked for a while and then fell silent.

He lay on the crystal stone and looked up at the dark sky. After a long while, he sighed softly:
"It's not that you don't have a talent for illusion. You were able to condense the rudiments of the 'illusion mind' and easily learn the 'floating dust illusion seal', which has already proved your qualifications. You have previously learned the 'eye-smoothing technique' of pretending to pass on thousands of books, and you have explored it quite effectively, and you have even comprehended the third level on your own. This is the reason why it is difficult for you to comprehend the 'illusion', at least in the short term.

"Just like a blank piece of paper is easy to draw and write on, once it has been smeared with ink, no matter how you write it will be affected. Illusion is different from other spells and is more difficult to handle."

Xu Yuanchang was a little dumbfounded.

The rabbit's statement is logical, which is really troublesome.

Apart from thinking of using magic to escape, he currently had no better idea.

Time waits for no one, and what he lacks most now is time.
