Tao Jin returned to her room.
Before entering the door, she looked around first, and after confirming that there was no one there, she walked into the door and locked the door bolt.
Afterwards, Tao Jin took out the Shadow Breathing Blood Sutra and placed it on the table.
After a long time, Tao Jin reached out and opened the booklet again.
This time, she turned a few more pages.
"It's magic... that's right..."
Until this time, Tao Jin was finally sure.
Tao Jin's expression was very complicated.
Just now she could have taken out the Shadow Breath Blood Sutra, but in the end, she did not choose to do so.
Tao Jin knew very well that the voice in her heart was her truest desire and thought.
Now she really needs a way to quickly improve her realm.
The booklet of the Shadow Blood Sutra was quietly placed on the table, but Tao Jin was staring at it at the moment, but felt a lot of tentacles protruding from it, trying to pull herself in.
"no!"
Tao Jin shook her head vigorously, and washed her face with the cold water in the room.
This made Tao Jin calm down a lot.
It is indeed tempting to enter the country quickly, but once you practice magic skills, you will be on a road from which you cannot turn back.
According to the record in the pamphlet, if you want to practice the Shadow Breath Blood Sutra, you must use fresh blood as an auxiliary training material.
The higher the blood quality, the faster the training speed.
Tao Jin was not sure whether the blood on it was human blood or animal blood.
Although she felt that human blood was more likely.
"I can't do that."
If human blood was used to assist her practice, Tao Jin would not be able to pass this test in her heart.
"But what if beast blood is fine..."
Tao Jin was moved again.
"No way!"
Soon, Tao Jin denied this idea again.
Once I really practiced the Shadow Breath Blood Sutra, then my handle would definitely fall into the hands of that man in the bamboo hat.
At that time, if the other party forces him to collude with the magic door, then he has no choice at all.
That would not only hurt yourself, but also hurt your family.
"Who the hell is he, and why does he know my current situation..."
Tao Jin felt that she was being calculated: "Did he deliberately target me, or did he throw the bait to all the rookies who were demoted before?"
It really makes sense to use the extremely fast practice of magic gate skills as bait to seduce those newcomers who have been demoted.
But Tao Jin thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with an answer.
In the camp now, apart from Tao Jin, there were indeed other people who had been demoted.
But Tao Jin didn't dare to try it out, no matter whether she tried it out or not, she would fall into a very passive state.
"This magic skill, at least for now, cannot be touched yet."
After Tao Jin thought about it, she still felt that the uncertainty she was facing was too great.
If a detail is not handled properly, the consequences will be very serious.
However, although she didn't practice for the time being, Tao Jin still picked up the booklet and memorized it intently.
An hour passed.
Tao Jin read the short booklet countless times. She memorized it repeatedly, and finally made sure that she had memorized all the contents in it.
Afterwards, Tao Jin took out the fire booklet and completely ignited the booklet.
She kept her eyes on the burning paper industry, and finally, the entire booklet was reduced to ashes.
But even so, Tao Jin was not at ease.
She put all the burnt ashes into the washbasin, added water and stirred them until they were finely crushed, then went out and poured them into the muddy water, and her heart gradually relaxed.
After all this is done, as long as you don't practice magic skills, you won't be discovered.
"However, you still have to be careful in the future... If someone is actually spying on my every move, it will be a very troublesome thing..."
After finishing everything, Tao Jin took a long time to calm down.
Afterwards, she entered the practice state of groping for the sense of energy again.
…
In the next few days, people who had gone back to the village to visit their relatives came back one after another.
One evening, not long after Xu Ning returned to his residence, Tao Qingping brought large and small bags into the yard.
"came back?"
Xu Ning offered to help Tao Qingping get things.
"These are oranges brought from the village, you can take some over there."
Tao Qingping said.
Xu Ning was a little speechless: "There is everything in the county town, and you still traveled a long distance to bring so many things back."
"It's something from home, it's different."
Tao Qingping replied seriously.
"Okay, thank you very much."
Xu Ning just took a few oranges in his hand.
"By the way, Xu Ning, it's a big loss for you not to go back this time."
While tidying up, Tao Qingping said to Xu Ning: "The news of your promotion to the captain has been spread in the village. Everyone says you are promising, even the patriarch and elders are full of praise for you. If you If I really go back, I don’t know how high-level the treatment will be.”
"Also, during the few days I was in the village, I saw someone go to your house as a matchmaker every day."
"A matchmaker?"
Xu Ning opened half of the orange in his hand, and frowned.
"Yeah, you're not Tao. Many people in Taojiazhuang want to tell you about their daughters. There are also some aunts and sisters-in-law who married into our village. The girl introduced you to the idea."
When he said this, Tao Qingping's tone was clearly envious.
"My sister didn't mess with my marriage, did she?"
Xu Nington was a little nervous for a while.
"No, your sister didn't let go, it's only because you agree."
Tao Qingping's words reassured Xu Ning.
My own sister is very reliable in doing things.
"But according to Guo Ye, Tao Tao really wants a little aunt."
Tao Qingping added another sentence.
The corner of Xu Ning's mouth twitched.
My niece, the pain is not in vain.
"Xu Ning, do you really have no intention of starting a family?"
Tao Qingping asked.
"At least not yet."
Xu Ning answered very frankly.
Although under the background of this era, it is normal to start a family at the age of eighteen, but Xu Ning still feels that it is too early because of the influence of his thoughts in the previous life.
"What about you, didn't you inquire about the girl in our backyard recently?"
Xu Ning turned against customers.
"she… "
When mentioning that girl, Tao Qingping suddenly sighed, with a very lonely expression on his face: "Just now, when I walked into the alley, I heard some neighbors say that she is married."
"Married?"
Xu Ning asked: "Didn't you say that the girl's parents don't want her to marry that childhood sweetheart?"
"yes."
Tao Qingping said: "It's true that I didn't marry that person, but married a leather shop owner as a concubine."
"This… "
Xu Ning didn't expect that either.
"It was forced by her family." Tao Qingping said, with some anger in his tone, "If I knew this was the case, I should have sent someone to help me as a matchmaker. Marrying me is better than marrying an old man as a concubine Bar?"
Tao Qingping's words reminded Xu Ning of the last time he saw that girl.
At that time, she looked very timid, with artificial injuries on her body.
Looking at it now, the injuries on her body at that time may have been caused by her family when they forced her to marry.
Xu Ning did not speak, but patted Tao Qingping on the shoulder.
Just like what Tao Qingping said, that girl might as well marry him.
From Xu Ning's point of view, Tao Qingping has a good temper and character, and is young, with the status of a black armored guard. The girl he marries is also his official wife, which is better than being a concubine to that old shopkeeper.
From this point of view, Tao Qingping voluntarily gave up at that time, to some extent, he actually harmed the girl.
For a moment, the two of them didn't know what to say.
Boom boom boom!
At this time, the courtyard door knocked.
"Master Captain!"
Xu Ning heard a voice outside the door.
He is familiar with this voice, the owner of the voice is the city guard of Weiyi in Fengliu Lane, a subordinate of Feng Sigua.
Xu Ning opened the door.
I saw that the man was sweating profusely and panting, obviously he came from running.
"What's up?"
Xu Ning asked.
This was the first time that someone from the Weiyi came to look for him.
"There's a murder case in the alley!"
That city guard spoke very fast.
"Murder?"
Xu Ning was a little puzzled.
Although the murder case is a major matter, it is usually dealt with directly by Feng Sigua, so why did he come to him.
"Maybe...maybe related to the magic door..."
The city guard lowered his voice and moved closer to Xu Ning's ear.
"Demon Gate?"
Xu Ning's pupils shrank.
"Take me there!"
Xu Ning moved quickly.
