Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 56: After five steps, it suddenly became clear

After a lot of asking for directions, I found Fulu Lane, which is hidden deep in the east end of Wendao Street, and found the inconspicuous Heiji Inn.

The facade is narrow and old, and the paint on the plaque that reads "Heiji Inn" is badly peeled off. Whether it is seen from a distance or up close, it does not look like a serious business inn.

It feels like this is a "black shop" hidden in a busy city.

It makes sense that there are so few people around.

Xu Yuanchang walked up the worn bluestone steps. The mottled wooden door was half-open. He looked in and saw a long, dark corridor.

The draft blew in, blowing on the face in a gloomy way, and the timid ones would immediately retreat.

He already knew that this place was unusual and knocked on the door a little harder.

"Excuse me, is Shopkeeper Black here?"

The voice echoed in the corridor and gradually disappeared, and no one responded for a long time.

Crossing the broken copper-clad threshold, which can be called an antique, and stepping into the mysterious and dark passage, it is like entering another world that is not part of the bustling city. It is so cold and quiet that it is daunting.

Xu Yuanchang looked back and saw that the wooden door had disappeared, and there was a wall in the distance behind it.

Does the assessment start from the moment you walk in?
He walked forward step by step. It felt like he had walked almost a hundred steps, and there was still a faint light in front of him.

No, it was a phantom formation. He foolishly walked until dark and could not reach the end.

With a shake of his left hand, mana poured in, and he hit the broken phantom talisman forward. There were tiny ripples like water ripples around him. He seemed to see a flaw with his spiritual vision. He decisively took a step to the left, and once again made a move with his left hand. Shaking, he played another broken magic talisman.

As a talisman master, I always have a few high-quality talismans on hand when traveling at home, which is what I should do.

He prepared several illusion-breaking talismans, evil-breaking talismans and earth god amulets for himself that were drawn with one spirit coin and one talisman paper. Compared with the mana that ordinary phantom-breaking talismans can hold, the burst of power is twice as powerful. There is more than enough leftover, this is called getting what you pay for.

"Oh, here comes a little guy from the Qi Entraining Realm. He uses the Illusion Breaking Talisman to break into the formation. He's so rare. Who introduced him?"

In the "Juyi Hall" deep in the courtyard of Heiji Inn, a young man with a frail and delicate appearance put down his wine bowl, glanced at the image displayed on the wall, and said with a slightly surprised smile.

A man in brown clothes walked out of the room on the second floor. He had messy hair, a big nose, and an ugly face.

Holding his hands on the wooden railing of the aisle, he grinned and said: "I know him, he is a half-acquaintance. His name is Xu Yuanchang, a casual cultivator. Last year, he attended lectures at Liuyuntai of the Taoist Palace for three months. Who directed him to come and participate this time? Demon catching test?"

A woman in colorful clothes who was keeping accounts behind the counter downstairs glanced up and said: "Old Yan is too unreliable. He recommended a little guy who doesn't understand anything. He said he has a high understanding and shuts him down." It's dark, so I can give Lao Yan some face."

Keep your head down and settle accounts.

The man in brown clothes scratched his wild hair, "He seems to have a good relationship with Yan Jiaoyu. Last year, it was Yan Jiaoyu who sent him to the Taoist palace for three months."

The handsome man smiled and said: "Qianmian, I am an acquaintance of yours. Do you want to lower the difficulty of the test?"

The man in brown clothes scolded with disdain: "Bajiao, you kid, don't harm me in front of the boss. I know as many as eight hundred people in Qingping City, if not a thousand. If they are all acquaintances, can I be busy enough?"

"I understand. It's my fault, brother, if I don't ask you in front of the boss next time."

"Get out of here, you boy, you have nothing to do, don't you?"

The man in brown clothes cursed, turned around and entered the room again.

The handsome man smiled and poured himself a drink. Occasionally he glanced at the image on the opposite wall and said to himself: "I have so many broken magic talismans on me. What are you going to do when you use them up? Hundreds of phantom spider silk arrays, all the way to the dark side." , even if the power is reduced to the first level, without strong strength, there is no way to get out before dark."

Seeing that the young Taoist priest had used up the magic-breaking talismans hidden in his sleeves, he took off the bamboo box behind his back, opened it and took out a stack of magic-breaking talismans.

The handsome man was stunned and murmured: "Did Yan Jiaoyu tell that boy in advance to prepare so many talismans?"

The woman in colorful clothes behind the counter looked up again and saw the young Taoist priest in the image, taking a step forward and playing out a talisman-breaking talisman, and said: "No, the other party is a talisman master. Although there are many illusory-breaking talismans in his hand, they are all low-level goods. More is in vain.”

"What a rich casual cultivator."

The handsome man sighed with emotion, all the spiritual coins were wasted. He concentrated on the wine bowl in his hand and no longer paid attention to the futility of the young Taoist priest. There was still an hour and a half before dark, so it was early.

Xu Yuanchang used the Illusion-Breaking Talisman in his hand until he stopped and stopped walking forward. No matter how he used the Illusion-Breaking Talisman to break the formation, there was still a dark passage ahead. He could see the light, but could not find a way out. .

This will definitely not work.

He stood still and calmed down his rippling emotions.

He is here to participate in the assessment. He has never heard that his life is in danger, so he can try it boldly, no matter what method he uses.

I tried two evil-breaking talismans and an inferior house-destroying talisman, but they didn't cause the slightest movement.

In the deathly silent passage, Xu Yuanchang closed his eyes, slowly adjusted his breath, until he reached a state of tranquility without self, and walked forward slowly based on his feelings.

If he can't get out again, it's God's will, and he deserves to be tested.

The copper ring he wore on the ring finger of his left hand was touched for some unknown reason and emitted invisible fluctuations.

After five steps, the vision suddenly opened up.

He walked into a courtyard from the dark passage. The sunlight slanted through the sparse leaves of the branches and shone on him, making it whirling and warm.

Opening your eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of your mouth. Sure enough, you want to walk with your eyes closed, your mind is calm and you don't see illusions.

Looking back in the direction of the passage where he came from, he saw a colorful spider as big as a basin curled up and hanging under the eaves. Its protruding spider eyes shone with a strange luster in the dark. He felt slightly dizzy and quickly turned around without daring to do so. Look again.

What a scary demon spider.

"He walked out of the illusion formation. It's impossible."

The handsome man almost choked on his drink and spurted it out of his nostrils, shouting in surprise.

The woman in colorful clothes behind the counter was also a little surprised and said: "Bajiao, ask your flower-backed spider, what method did Xu Yuanchang use to get out of the illusion array?"

To be able to come out in such a short period of time was because she underestimated the other party.

The doors of two rooms on the second floor opened one after another. The man in brown clothes with messy hair glanced at the old man in black clothes who came out on the right, and then looked at the young Taoist priest in the image on the opposite wall. He laughed and said, "Bajiao, is it you?" The kid cheated, deliberately showed off his appearance to teach someone a good lesson, and then lowered the difficulty level without authorization?"

The handsome man ignored him, only moved his lips, and then said to the woman in colorful clothes: "Boss, the demon spider looked at the examiner and closed his eyes, so he just walked out without any magic weapon or treasure."

"It's so strange that I can walk out of the 'Hundred Fantasy Spider Silk Array' you arranged with my eyes closed. Is he just joking in front of me?"

The man in brown clothes didn't believe it.

Can a casual cultivator who has only practiced for two years have such ability?

The woman in colorful clothes ordered: "Ask him to come in and ask, then everything will be clear."

Xu Yuanchang, who was looking around in the courtyard, saw the closed wooden door in front of him open, revealing a passage, and heard a man's voice: "Xu Yuanchang, come in, don't waste time."

Xu Yuanchang clasped his fists in the air.

Walk up the steps, walk through the door, and walk along the passage.

The expression on his face was neither anxious nor impatient, calm as usual.

Has he passed the test?

The Demon Catcher assessment didn't seem to be very difficult. He hadn't found the right method before.
