Yun Qing ignored the blood all over his body, walked down from the bed barefoot, and pulled out a few pieces of charred wooden charms from the piles of ashes high on the ground. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』
Even under the black flames that turned human bones into ashes, this wooden talisman was relatively intact.
"Breaking the Forbidden Talisman... I didn't expect Song Liyou to have time to refine this." Yun Qing rummaged for a while and found all the wooden talismans.
With her cautiousness, she couldn't just sit down and start practicing. Be it the restrictions on the door or the formation of candles in the room, they are all means of defense. First of all, the Mahanakshatra is really difficult to control for beginners. One mistake can lead to serious injury, and they cannot tolerate any interference. Furthermore, Yun Qing's own state of mind is slightly flawed, and only with full concentration can he fully control the movement of true energy in the meridians.
But these few mortals walked in regardless of her restrictions, broke her formation, and disrupted her practice.
After Yun Qing used Amang to beat Song Liyou, her expression finally returned to calm. She put her hand into the hot ashes and activated the heavenly book to check the identities of these people.
I remember that when they broke in, they said, "The scholar must have lived here yesterday." I guess Song Liyou used some method to attract him.
Yesterday, in order to stop Song Liyou from destroying flowers with his ruthless hands, and also as a deterrent, she used the energy of the Great Sun and Black Heavenly Wheel. Song Liyou didn't know that she had started to practice the Great Sun Black Celestial Wheel before this. Then he should plan this matter after that.
Song Liyou only needed to find a random shop, and then hand over the forbidden talisman that had been used to conceal the situation as money. In the process, he would reveal his place of residence intentionally or unintentionally, which would be considered a preemptive move. Yun Qing herself quickly gave him a chance to take action. Today she asked Song Liyou to take Zheng Zhenzhen to find the letter bird.
In order to prevent Song Liyou from causing any trouble, she sent Amang, who was much more reliable than the formation, to supervise him. If Amang was protecting the law by her side, then no matter what, those few people couldn't enter her house.
How could Song Liyou let go of such a God-given opportunity? He had already laid out the first move, so all he needed to do was remove the blinding technique today. Several grumpy mortals found that the silver had turned into wood and would not give up. They followed the place that Song Liyou had revealed yesterday and ran to the inn.
Although Song Liyou was restrained by her, his cultivation was indeed much higher than hers. Under the forbidden talisman, these mortals broke in almost effortlessly.
The most important point is that after discovering Zheng Zhenzhen yesterday, Yun Qing almost stopped using the Book of Heaven. In the past, she only used the Book of Heaven when she had no choice. Now that she has obtained the Great Sun Black Heavenly Wheel, the method of cultivation, and she barely found the medical inheritance in Zheng Zhenzhen yesterday, there is no need to burn her life to activate the Book of Heaven. Without using the Book of Heaven, it is impossible to predict hidden dangers and see through some of Song Liyou's plans.
For Song Liyou, this was a good situation, with the right time, right place, and right people.
He knew that Yun Qing was practicing the extremely dangerous Great Sun and Black Celestial Wheel, and he also knew that Yun Qing's cultivation was very weak and her foundation was unstable. He even guessed through Zheng Zhenzhen that Yun Qing was on the verge of death.
It only takes a little mistake to kill her.
It's a pity that he neglected to calculate one thing, and that was the relationship between Amang and her.

"One life, two lives..."
Song Liyou was lying on the ground, staring at Amang who had regained his dazed expression.
"That guy didn't die cleanly this time... I'm going to be unlucky soon." Song Liyou didn't expect that Yun Qing had the means to control Amang from such a long distance, let alone that she could directly borrow Amang's help. Man's body. en8.
"You are about to be unlucky! You are obviously already unlucky!" Zheng Zhenzhen's voice came from not far away, the clear girlish voice mixed with panic. Although Amang's move was not directed at her, she was still frightened by the earth-shattering wailing sound.
"Shut up, grandpa!" Song Liyou felt that it was really embarrassing for such a useless person to see him in such a mess.
"No!" Zheng Zhenzhen said righteously, "I specialize in medicine..."
"You've got water in your head?! I can't even be cured by you in my physical body?" Song Liyou yelled at her angrily.
"No, I can't..." Zheng Zhenzhen was startled, but he immediately realized that he was no threat now, and bravely said, "But I am proficient in medical science, and the treatment of the soul body in the book is still..."
"I told you to shut up!" Song Liyou felt that his hundreds of years of self-cultivation and energy cultivation would be destroyed in Yun Qing's hands.
Zheng Zhenzhen became quiet immediately and did not dare to say anything more to the murderer.
After all, Song Liyou had advanced cultivation. After half a stick of incense, he finally regained his breath and regained his physical form. However, the solemn bird frost fur coat was replaced by the original ordinary green shirt.
Although there seems to be no change in appearance, the vitality he has worked so hard to cultivate these days has been wiped out, and now he has to borrow the Qingdi Fengchun Seal to start over again.
Zheng Zhenzhen looked at him for a while, then asked timidly: "How are you? If it doesn't work... we'll go back... and we'll talk tomorrow."
Song Liyou's face suddenly darkened.
"I will explain it to senior sister, don't be afraid!" Zheng Zhenzhen promised, patting his chest.
Song Liyou's expression turned even worse.
"Lead the way." He said every word.
"Is it really okay...?" Zheng Zhenzhen could only give in when he stared at her so fiercely, "Okay then."
Song Liyou strode in front, and Zheng Zhenzhen followed at a trot.
The two of them were in an empty suburb, which was why Amang didn't disturb too many people.
Ci'an City is extremely prosperous, but there are almost no other small cities around it, and even there are very few villages. This pattern is very strange. Generally speaking, such a prosperous big city will be surrounded by many small cities that rely on it. But this city is like an isolated island entrenched in the southern part of the Mirror Kingdom, and the surrounding area is empty.
The branch altar they were going to was located in the northern suburbs of Cian City. It was deserted and there was not much incense on weekdays.
The Lutian Temple is centered on the Lutian Holy Altar in Jingdu and radiates in all directions. There are sub-altars built in each city, and there are sub-altars under the sub-altars. Such continuous differentiation, thousands and thousands, countless. However, the role of most of the Temple of Heaven is not to teach the method of cultivating Taoism, but to receive incense and gather the will of all people.
These altars are usually built in densely populated areas. On weekdays, some people offer incense and pray, and some people bring their children to the altar to learn to read and write. In short, they have many functions. Those sub-altars specially used to teach the methods of spiritual cultivation are called Dharma transmission altars. They are usually in deserted places and are very few in number.
According to Zheng Zhenzhen, they usually go to those altars to do chores and appreciate the world. They only go to the Dharma transmission altars on certain days every month to practice. And today happens to be a day of practice.
"When will it end?"
The two of them had already arrived outside the separate altar.
This is a huge white square stone altar in the shape of a horseshoe. The base alone is nearly 10 meters high. The masonry pedestal is surrounded by exquisite carved stone slabs. The sizes of the stone slabs are exactly the same. Each stone slab is painted with a blessing ritual. There are a total of 108 carved stone slabs, which is one hundred and eight ways of offering sacrifices. The characters on these reliefs have vivid expressions and flying clothes, making them look lifelike.
Above the pedestal is the large wooden sacrificial hall with a dome, which corresponds to the round sky and the square pedestal respectively. This is also where many disciples practice.
There was a neat sound of chanting mantras coming from inside, which sounded like mantras for praying for rain. Song Liyou didn't know much about these, so he could only ask Zheng Zhenzhen.
Zheng Zhenzhen listened carefully for a while before replying: "There are three paragraphs of prayers for rain. This is the end of the second paragraph..."
Song Liyou's face looked better.
Zheng Zhenzhen continued: "But there will be a rain praying dance next..."
Song Liyou glared at her: "Can you speak without breathing heavily?"
"I'm always slow to speak..." Zheng Zhenzhen said in frustration.
"After this is over, you can lead them to the back of the stone altar and I will deal with them for you." Song Liyou didn't want to say more to her.
There is only one step to the stone altar, and almost no one comes to the back.
"You promised senior sister..." Zheng Zhenzhen said nervously.
"Take it secretly! I know!" Song Liyou felt like he had a terrible headache.
"You can't follow them unnoticed..." Zheng Zhenzhen still felt uneasy.
"If you dare to say another word, I will stop you." Song Liyou threatened.
Zheng Zhen really thought that if the scholar quit, he would definitely be beaten by his senior sister again, so it would be better to be quiet.
The two of them just listened to singing and dancing until the evening. Song Liyou's face was as dark as the sky, and the practice finally came to an end.
Zheng Zhenzhen wandered in the shadows under the steps for a while. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he pulled over a woman wearing a ferocious mask: "Bai Xin!"
The man was startled: "Zheng Zhenzhen!? You dare to come back!"
"Come with me..." Zheng Zhenzhen pulled her and wanted to take her to Song Liyou's place.
But the woman threw her hand away and sneered, "Do you want to take revenge on us?"
Zheng Zhenzhen shook his head and said seriously: "I just want to get my letter bird back."
At this time, all the people wearing masks around them had almost left, and the few remaining ones ignored them.
The woman laughed: "Oh, my silly girl, if we take this thing, it is ours. There is no point in begging you."
"I'm not begging." Zheng Zhenzhen still looked serious, "I'm asking. Besides, some things won't be yours even if you grab them."
The woman was wearing a mask and could not tell her face. After hearing Zheng Zhenzhen's words, she turned around and left: "If I don't talk to you, you don't want to get back."
"Wait, come with me!" Zheng Zhenzhen said anxiously, "You..."
"This girl, please stay..." came a clear and gentle voice.
The woman turned around subconsciously, but unexpectedly she was strangled by the neck.
It was Song Liyou who appeared. He grabbed Bai Xin and dragged him into the darkness. Zheng Zhenzhen was frightened by him: "What are you doing! Didn't you say you took it secretly?"
"Follow me." Song Liyou didn't even look at her.
By the time he got around the back of the stone altar, he had strangled the woman until she almost died, but he had no intention of letting go.
Zheng Zhenzhen ran to keep up with him, trying to pull him away, but was deflected by the blue light from Song Liyou's protective body.
Song Liyou looked into the woman's eyes and asked, "Tell me, where is the letter bird?"
The woman was pinched until her face turned blue and she was speechless. The image of the letter bird they drowned flashed in her mind.
Although she didn't say a word, a bright light flashed in Song Liyou's eyes: "Dead?"
At this time, even Zheng Zhenzhen, who fell to the ground and struggled to get up, was stunned.
Song Liyou pressed hard, and the woman let out a dying cry, and then became silent.
"If the bird is dead, then you are of no use." Song Liyou threw the woman's body aside.
The young body soon rotted, decayed, and finally got mixed with the soil and disappeared.
"Get rid of the clothes and masks. Let's go back to see Yun Qing." Song Liyou glanced at Amang, who had been following him closely.
The monster-like big man was still indifferent, not intending to help him or listen to his orders.
"Tsk..." Song Liyou glanced at Zheng Zhenzhen, who was completely stunned by witnessing the murder scene, and could only burn his clothes and masks himself.
"You...you killed her!!?" Zheng Zhenzhen waited for him to deal with it before screaming.
"What are you talking about? If Yun Qing hadn't asked me to come, I wouldn't have bothered to lower my status to do such a thing of destroying corpses and eradicating traces." Song Liyou began to speak cautiously after knowing that Yun Qing could borrow Amang's body. , it would be bad if she scolded her behind her back. He couldn't offend that kid anymore.
"Humans are born with spirits, how can they be killed so easily!?" Zheng Zhenzhen looked at him with a pale face, his eyes filled with bright anger.
"Hey, aren't I here to help you? Besides, she is also your enemy, so what does it mean for you to speak for her?" Song Liyou has seen this kind of girl who is overflowing with sympathy. As long as she sees this kind of person, After a few times when the world is cruel, your heart will naturally become cold.
But the bright light in Zheng Zhenzhen's eyes did not fade at all, her expression was solemn, and her whole figure seemed to be shrouded in white light. She swept away her previous fear and said loudly to Song Liyou:
"When I inherited the Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon, I swore an oath to show great compassion and vow to save all suffering souls! Regardless of high or low, rich or poor, young or old, I would like to be a good friend!"
"I have compassion and compassion for all living things in the world. I cannot kill them out of resentment, and I don't want anyone to die because of me!!"
Song Liyou's eyes narrowed, and he finally understood Yun Qing's intention of leaving this girl behind.
Yellow Emperor's inheritance!
