Dodging requires constant practice to achieve perfection.
Chen Lin practiced in the yard early in the morning and sweated a lot. Then he performed a cleansing spell on himself and sat down to rest.
He cast a fireball, lit a pile of firewood, and took out a piece of monster meat to roast on top.
Soon the aroma of meat filled the air.
He has now become more and more accustomed to the life of a cultivator, and is becoming more and more fascinated with it. If he were not worried about encountering danger, such days would truly be free and comfortable.
Unfortunately, cultivators are also human beings, and as human beings they have desires and they have conflicts.
If you want to live a stable life, you can only sail against the current and strive to be the best.
Had a hearty meal.
While digesting his meal, Chen Lin took out a bunch of ancient junks that he had bought.
There were about ten items of various kinds, basically all of them were broken jade pieces and worn-out, damaged book pages of unknown materials.
He just wanted to try and see if he could gain some knowledge or information from these things.
It would be great if you could find a bargain.
Because the outer perimeter of the ancient cultivator's cave had collapsed, all the items that had been dug out of the soil had mostly been corroded.
Of course, those that can be corroded are of low level. Higher-level cultivation items will not be damaged naturally even after hundreds or thousands of years.
First, he picked up the broken pages and looked at them carefully one by one.
These were carefully selected by him at the stall and were relatively complete, but they were all written in ancient Chinese characters, which made them very awkward to read.
Chen Lin took out paper and pen, first translated the contents of each page according to the general meaning, and then began to figure it out.
After tinkering with it for a long time, he couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.
I still take it for granted.
Since these things were put up for sale, they must have been studied countless times and put on display only after being found to be useless. Otherwise, they would not be put on display in a junk stall, but at an auction.
Putting the paper aside, Chen Lin picked up the broken jade pieces one by one.
He suspected that these jade pieces were jade slips used by ancient cultivators to record information, so he bought them.
Then, he began to test them one by one, but his complexion became worse and worse.
His guess was correct. These jade pieces were all jade slips, but because of the damage, the contents recorded in them had become very confusing and could not be distinguished.
It feels like a bunch of gibberish.
"Huh?"
Chen Lin suddenly exclaimed in surprise and looked at the jade piece in his hand in astonishment.
This is the one bought from the bald man’s stall. It is intact but covered with cracks, and it is emitting very weak fluctuations at the moment.
If you look closely, there seems to be a layer of fluorescence on the surface.
This made Chen Lin surprised but also very puzzled.
He remembered that he had checked it when he was in the market, and there was nothing abnormal at all. Why did it change again now
He placed the jade piece carefully in front of his eyes and observed it, trying to inject magic power into it, but there was no change.
Then, he communicated with her mentally again, but still no response.
This made Chen Lin feel a little embarrassed and he didn't know how to start.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from outside, and then it became extremely noisy.
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, but did not go out to check. Instead, he used the wind control technique to fly to the roof and stopped to watch.
Then he frowned.
The sound came from the family that had just married the bride, and there was chaos in their yard, as if a fight had broken out.
They started fighting right after getting married. It’s going to be hard to live like this!
Chen Lin sighed for a moment, then moved his ears and heard bursts of cries for help coming from the other side.
Although the two families were far apart, the miserable sound was still very clear.
He didn't want to care about it, but when he thought about the feeling the bride gave him, he hesitated for a moment, then flew down to the ground and walked over on the avenue.
The closer the distance, the louder the screams. There were many people watching the excitement, but they all stayed far away and no one dared to get close.
Chen Lin was also shocked when he came closer.
The gate of this family's yard was wide open, and several people were huddled together in the yard, their bodies covered in blood.
Among them was a young woman, who, judging by her figure and clothes, should be the bride. Her face was covered in blood and her features could not be seen clearly. She was like a mad beast, biting the groom's ear tightly and biting it off with one force.
What’s even more exaggerated is that after biting it, the bride did not spit it out. Instead, she chewed it, stretched her neck, and swallowed it raw!
In addition, the people next to them were also covered in blood and flesh, obviously having been bitten.
Chen Lin happened to see this scene and his face turned slightly pale.
He was not scared by the bloody scene, but the bride's condition was obviously abnormal. His feeling that day was not wrong. There was something wrong with this woman!
"Wulian Tianzun, which evildoer dares to act so wildly? Show your true form now!"
At this moment, a majestic voice sounded, and then Chen Lin's eyes blurred, and an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a Taoist robe, appeared at the door.
Seeing someone coming forward, Chen Lin continued to hide in the distance and watch the situation. The old Taoist's cultivation was higher than his. If the other party couldn't handle it, it would be useless for him to go out.
As soon as the Taoist priest appeared, an old man lying on the ground with a bloody mess suddenly shouted, "Master, help me! My daughter-in-law has been possessed by an evil spirit and gone mad!"
The old Taoist didn't say anything. He just shook the bright silver whisk in his hand, and countless silver threads shot towards the bride.
The bride noticed the danger, but did not hide away. Instead, she bared her teeth and let out a low roar. She stretched out her hand to grab the silk thread of the whisk and then opened her mouth to bite it.
"snort!"
The old Taoist snorted coldly, and paused his wrist. The silver wire that was caught became like molten steel wire, humming and swinging the bride away.
Although he failed to take down the enemy with one strike, it gave the people around him a chance to catch their breath. The groom took the opportunity to drag several people lying on the ground to the side, then collapsed on the ground and gasped heavily.
The bride seemed to have completely lost her mind, her eyes were red, and she pounced towards the old Taoist priest.
As he ran, he made a hoarse sound.
"Death, monster!"
The old Taoist's eyes became fierce, and the whisk in his hand became straight, forming the shape of a sword, and he slashed down at the bride with fierce power.
"ah!"
The bride let out an inhuman roar, and a terrifying wave suddenly emanated from her body, and then suddenly exploded.
What was strange was that after the flesh and blood exploded, they did not scatter, but instead condensed into a twisted bloody figure.
At this moment, the sword light formed by the whisk fell, but it passed through the blood shadow as if it was cutting into liquid.
The blood shadow let out a strange cry and pounced on the old Taoist's body.
The old Taoist shouted loudly and punched out with his other hand.
The fist swelled in the wind, became the size of a bowl, and hit the flesh-and-blood figure!
Flesh and blood flew everywhere.
This time there was no energy to condense, and it splashed everywhere.
Just when the old Taoist breathed a sigh of relief, a blurry reddish shadow suddenly appeared, flashed, and rushed to the old Taoist like a red line.
The old Taoist's eyes instantly turned red, and a strange aura rose.
