Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow

Just do it.

Shen Qing didn't hesitate at all and hurried back home.

"Qingzi, you're back, what's going on outside? It's the Chinese New Year, why is it so messy?" The aunt in the house was doing nothing, picking up shoes with the eldest sister Shen Fang, when she saw Shen Qing rushing back suddenly, she said casually.

Shen Qing didn't have time to chat with them now, so he responded casually: "It's nothing serious. There are just bandits in the city. You'd better not go out in the past few days."

"Ah, thieves?"

Auntie and eldest sister Shen Fang were both a little frightened.

He wanted to ask more questions, but saw that Shen Qing had already entered his room and looked at each other.

In the room, Shen Qing rummaged through the cabinets and found a bunch of scattered talisman-making materials.

A langhao pen, a knife of yellow mounting paper, and a handful of cinnabar.

Shen Qing casually pulled out a piece of yellow mounting paper and spread it on the table.

This kind of talisman paper is usually processed with mulberry bark, bamboo pulp and other materials to form a tough paper, which is tougher than conventional white paper.

According to the "Annotations on Talismans", silk is needed to make high-level talismans, and such yellow-mounted paper can only be used as a carrier for some low-level talismans.

The quality of the tracking charm is not high, and this yellow mounting paper is more than enough.

Shen Qing exhaled a breath of turbid air, closed his eyes and concentrated, slowly adjusted his breathing, and recalled some meditation methods and rituals in the annotations of the talisman.

After his breath stabilized, he followed the complicated ritual recorded in the book and meticulously repeated it three times to adjust the cinnabar and other utensils.

After the heart lake completely calmed down and became clear without waves, he took a deep breath, then picked up the Howling Wolf pen, dipped it in cinnabar, and placed it on the yellow mounting paper.

Shen Qing turned his wrist lightly, and the true energy jumped out from Shen Qing's palm like a thin thread and landed on the tip of the Wolf Howling Pen.

The movements of his hands were extremely smooth, as if he had repeated this process thousands of times, making him appear to be very familiar and natural.

Just when he thought he was going to make a tracking charm, something unexpected happened!

"boom!"

After a subtle explosion, a small ball of flame jumped up from the center of the talisman paper without any warning.

Shen Qing, as if he had seen it all before, pinched it and extinguished the leaping flames.

A wisp of green smoke curled up from between his fingers.

Shen Qing then discarded the useless talisman and started his second attempt with an expressionless face.

He has advanced the art of making talismans to a proficient level, and has a high success rate in making such simple tracking talismans.

After the first failure, the success rate increased sharply, and it was successfully completed twice in a row.

Looking at the two tracking charms that had been made, Shen Qing fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a moment, he put the two tracking charms in his arms and hurried out.

Zheng Yuanqiu has a strong cultivation base, so it would still be a bit risky for him to go alone.

It would be best to find some people to go with.

Anyway, now that he has made such a fuss, it has caused a storm in the city. It is no longer his responsibility to arrest and kill Zheng Yuanqiu.

Once the stage is set up, you have to learn to use your strength.

Thinking of this, Shen Qing didn't waste any time, got on his horse, went straight to the meeting hall of the Military and Horse Department, found Huangfu Rou and explained his purpose.

"You mean, you can find Zheng Yuanqiu's whereabouts?" Huangfurou looked Shen Qing up and down, a little doubtful.

"Yes." Shen Qing nodded and said, "Although I can't find Zheng Yuanqiu directly, I have two tracking charms in my hand. I may be able to track his whereabouts. I can give it a try."

In the meeting hall, Huangfu Rou and several other messengers asked solemnly, "Do you know how to make talismans?"

"A little bit."

After saying this, Shen Qing took out a tracking charm from his arms, put it on the money bag Zheng Yuanqiu had given him before, and blew lightly.

Under his gaze, the talisman seemed to come to life, levitating and blooming with faint brilliance.

Huangfurou glanced at Shen Qing subconsciously.

If I remember correctly, the Chasi in front of me was not a local and his status was not high.

I had heard about him repeatedly killing demons in the Weiwu Division before.

In her eyes, he is a capable official.

But I never thought that he had such ability.

"Sir, why don't we take this opportunity to try and look for it?" Shen Qing said seriously.

"Yes." Huangfu Rou nodded and said, "Without further delay, you can urge the talisman."

"good."

Shen Qing quickly formed seals with his fingers and muttered words.

After a moment, the tracking talisman suddenly turned into a stream of light, went out through the window, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Sir, let's go."

Seeing this, Huangfu Rou quickly arranged: "You guys will go with me and Shen Chaisi. Wang Chaisi, go and report to the commander. We will leave marks along the way, and you and the commander will come over to support you." It’s not too late, act.”

"As you command!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Huangfu Rou's figure swayed and followed Shen Qing's back.

Although the others still had doubts in their hearts, seeing Shen Qing's confident look, they followed Huangfu Rou's order one after another.

…

Outside Yongzhou City.

The wind and snow gradually subsided, and everything was silent.

The sky and the earth are completely white, and as far as the eye can see, only the white snow and mountains are left, seemingly unstained by dust.

Deep in the scenery, there is a wooden house hidden in a seemingly ordinary dense forest.

The fire was blazing in the house, and a man with a slightly rich figure was sitting cross-legged on the ground, sipping tea leisurely and looking content.

This person is none other than Zheng Yuanqiu, who fled Yongzhou City in advance.

At that time, there was no news from Xu Changle, and he was keenly aware of a hint of danger.

Without any hesitation, he hurried back to pack up the valuables in his hand, and quietly left the city without alarming anyone and came here.

This small house is one of the several bases he reserved outside Yongzhou City.

Although the place is not big, it has all the daily necessities, enough for him to cope with one or two months.

According to the news sent back from the real person before, Yongzhou may have a big inspiration in the future.

This is a rare opportunity for him.

Although his identity has been exposed now, he still has a lot of back-ups in the city, and there is still a chance to participate in such opportunities.

The only thing is that he has lost his identity as the chief of the Weiwu Division and can no longer live as happily as before.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yuanqiu's eyes became fierce, and a burst of anger emerged in his heart.

"It's all Shen Qing's fault. If it weren't for him, how could I be like this?"

"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."

"I want to see what wonderful expression you will have when you watch your loved ones die in front of you one by one."

Zheng Yuanqiu clenched his right fist tightly, and his knuckles turned white due to excessive force.

At this moment, a subtle but strange sound of breaking through the air came from outside the house.

A snap.

It seemed like something hit the door.

Zheng Yuanqiu looked suspicious. He sensed it slightly and found that there was nothing unusual outside the house.

He gently placed the teacup on the table, stood up, walked to the door, and carefully opened a crack in the door.

Zheng Yuanqiu looked out through the crack, and there was nothing.

Strange.

Did I hear it wrong?

Zheng Yuanqiu, who had found nothing, was about to close the door. He glanced inadvertently and saw a yellow talisman on the ground at the door.

The talisman was shining brightly.

Zheng Yuanqiu looked up suddenly, with a trace of surprise and alertness on his face.

His eyes were stern, and he suddenly opened the wooden door, without any hesitation, and wanted to throw himself into the forest like an arrow.

However, just as he turned around, a peerless sharp edge cut through the sky, with a roar that tore the air and endless wind and snow, pointing directly at his back.

Zheng Yuanqiu felt a breath of destruction, and his heart was alarmed.

His spiritual power instantly boiled, and he twisted his body in the air, suddenly rose at an incredible angle, and turned around.

Then, the palm of his hand gathered bright light, and he slapped it out, confronting the whistling arrow head-on.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the arrow exploded in the air, turning into dots of cold light and scattering, stirring up circles of wind and snow ripples visible to the naked eye.

Zheng Yuanqiu took advantage of the situation and rose higher again. He saw a figure holding a bow in the distance and was horrified.

"It's you, you bastard!!!"
