Zhu Changyang recited Newton, Faraday, Einstein, Marie Curie and Mendeleev frantically in his mind, trying to do as Xing Yuehun had just done, letting the red light of cinnabar spread in all directions and making the surrounding aura visible.
Unfortunately, it failed.
The cinnabar simply turned into a fine mist in the air and then faded away.
The vermilion color on the talisman paper faded and turned into a dull gray. Zhu Changyang muttered to himself, "It seems that the masters are still not good enough in using talismans."
He had successfully used the lightning-inducing talisman and the spirit-contract talisman in the Gupeng Secret Realm, and he thought that using talismans was so simple.
Little do people know that among the myriad methods, the art of talismans can become an independent school with its own unique and exquisite features.
Using talismans to track the breath of a powerful person is much more complicated than using ordinary lightning-inducing talismans. Although Zhu Changyang can activate the power of the talisman with faith, to unleash its true mystery, he needs to have a deeper understanding of talisman techniques.
After realizing this, Zhu Changyang turned to look at Xing Yuehun and smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I took it for granted."
Xing Yuehun's eyes welled up with tears: "No, I just took it for granted."
He could see that Zhu Changyang was indeed not familiar with talismans, but this made him even more surprised.
Without knowing anything about talismans, one can achieve such an effect. What a strong belief one must have!
Thinking of this, he looked at the cinnabar mist in the sky that had faded to the point of being almost invisible, and sighed, "It's a pity that it's still a little short..."
At this moment, Jun Shu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly realized something. His eyes flashed slightly, and the rusty sword flew out of the mustard bag. The sharp sword energy cut through the sky and slashed towards the two lines of poetry on the stone wall.
[The magnificent world, boundless and endless.]
Everyone in the Jijin Sect was shocked, and Qi Tongchen asked anxiously, "Brother Jun, what are you doing?"
But the sword was so fast that they couldn't stop it.
With only two "clang" sounds, the word "mangmang" was instantly shattered, and gravel and dust fell down.
Everyone was standing at the foot of the cliff, and when they saw this, they quickly moved away. Only Si Kou Luo stood still, waving his wide sleeves to brush away the dust that floated onto Xia Jue's head.
Everyone in the Ji Jin Sect looked unhappy. These two lines of poetry were written by Xia Jue himself before he went into seclusion. Jun Shu cut off the two words without saying a word, which was really unacceptable.
Just as he was about to ask the reason, he suddenly heard Xing Yuehun exclaim, "Ah!" and said in surprise, "It's demonic energy!"
Everyone in the Jijin Sect's heart skipped a beat, and they looked in the direction of the voice, all of them were startled.
But the cinnabar, which had originally been very faint, suddenly shone again, and wherever the light shone, there was a misty atmosphere everywhere, just like before.
The difference is that this time, among these auras, there are also traces of black air that look like hair.
The black air floated out from the place where Jun Shu had cut.
Si Kou Luo looked up, [Bang Mang] had disappeared, only two blank spaces remained, with wisps of demonic energy still emanating from it.
As if realizing something, “This is the clue left by the master.”
When Xia Jue's soul left his body, he knew that his breath was too weak and might be difficult to trace, so he set up a spell in the poems on the cliff to preserve some clues.
The Mishan Sect's talisman formation was indeed extraordinary. Xing Yuehun's first two talismans had actually touched the evil energy in the stone carvings, but were suppressed by the evil magic and were always a little short of it.
When Zhu Changyang activated the talisman, the floating cinnabar attached to the stone carvings, supplementing the last bit of power that the Xingyuehun talisman formation lacked, and finally the evil spirit was revealed.
"How could there be demonic energy?" An elder asked in disbelief, his face looking extremely ugly.
The Jijin Sect was a big sect, but it was invaded by evil spirits silently. How embarrassing would it be for them if the news got out
Si Kouluo didn't care about reputation. He only cared about one thing: he asked Xing Yuehun, "Can we still find my master's whereabouts?"
"It should be possible." Xing Yuehun nodded, took out the talisman again, and set up the formation and cast a spell with his two disciples.
With these evil spirits as guidance, we soon found the direction.
Under the activation of the talisman formation, strands of demonic energy connected into a line and floated towards a certain direction as if being pulled by something.
"The spirit of the fairy lady went eastward." Xing Yuehun observed carefully and continued, "We don't know exactly where it went. We have to follow the scent and search for it."
He turned to look at Sikou Luo, "Sect Master Sikou, please send a few people to go with me to look for it."
Si Kou Luo said sternly: "I will go there myself."
Jun Shu suddenly said, "I'll go with you."
Zhu Changyang was a little surprised: "You want to go too?"
"Yeah." Jun Shu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and asked him uncertainly, "Do you want to go?"
Zhu Changyang was stunned for a moment. He and Jun Shu had always been together before. No matter where they went, it was almost assumed that they were traveling together.
But Jun Shu's question obviously broke this tacit understanding.
He neither discussed it with Zhu Changyang first nor required Zhu Changyang to go with him.
In other words, whether Zhu Changyang goes or not, Jun Shu himself will go.
Zhu Changyang felt it was a little strange. Since they met, Jun Shu had basically been following him.
If he didn't go out, Jun Shu was too lazy to even take a few steps, let alone take the initiative to suggest where to go.
No, during the Jun Guan epidemic, Jun Shu seemed very interested in Shihu Village.
Zhu Changyang didn’t think that Jun Shu did it for the villagers of Shihu Village at that time, and similarly, he certainly didn’t do it for Fairy Xia Jue now.
So what is he doing this for
Zhu Changyang glanced at Jun Shu and said with a smile: "I'll go with you."
Jun Shu was certain in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face: "That's about right."
.
Without further ado, Si Kou Luo ordered Qi Tongchen to stay in the sect to take charge of daily affairs. He selected two elders and several disciples and set off immediately.
Zhu Changyang gave Jie Li a few brief instructions and still left with only Mao and Jun Shu.
Because they wanted to trace the whereabouts of the aura, the group did not use the teleportation array, but instead flew away on the Chi Peng chariot of the Ji Jin Sect.
Xing Yuehun sat in the front, constantly using talismans to keep the evil spirit from dissipating.
At dusk, when the sky was darkening, Xing Yuehun looked at the gradually disappearing light and asked everyone in the chariot: "Do you have any magic tools that can emit light? I'm afraid we can't see where the evil spirit is at night..."
Although the monk had strong eyesight, the demonic energy was faint and blended into the night, so he was afraid of making a mistake.
Before the people of Jijin Sect could respond, Zhu Changyang took out a light bulb that was larger than a bowl from his pocket and said, "Yes, I have a high beam."
When he saw this scene during the day, he guessed that they would probably have to travel at night, so he took the time to use his spiritual sense to enter the workshop and first made a high beam.
The principle of high beam is simple, which is to reflect light through a concave mirror to form parallel light, which can be projected farther.
Everyone from Jijin Sect:
How many kinds of lamps do the masters have in their pockets
Jun Shu was originally dozing off against the wheelchair out of boredom, but when he saw Zhu Changyang take out a headlight he had never seen before, he immediately perked up and curiously leaned over to take a look around: "Is this a big flashlight?"
It was the first time for the Mishan Sect members to see an electric light. They didn’t understand what it meant at first, but when they heard the word “flashlight,” they suddenly understood.
"Ah, is this the legendary flashlight?"
"Really? I heard that this thing is selling very well in Buchendi. I've wanted to see it for a long time."
One of the disciples named Yuan Miansha leaned over and said, "Is this thing really that magical? Why do I feel it's so ordinary..."
Jun Shu just happened to find a switch on the side of the lamp and pressed it very skillfully.
There was a slight "click" sound, and a strong white light burst out from the lamp, hitting Yuan Miansha's face directly.
Yuan Miansha bounced back as if he had stepped on a nail, and covered his face with his hands, "Eyes, my eyes—"
Everyone was speechless when they saw this.
They looked at it from the side and thought the light was indeed quite bright, but it was just ordinary light. Yuan Miansha's reaction was too exaggerated.
Before he could finish his words, the headlights suddenly turned towards him, emitting a blinding light.
Xing Yuehun immediately raised his hands to cover his eyes: "My eyes, take them away-"
Others: “… ?”
Just as they were wondering, the huge light bulb turned again and shone towards them.
Jun Shu excitedly held the high beam and waved it around: "Not bad, it can illuminate very far."
Everyone was caught off guard and felt the power of the road killer head-on and up close.
Only Si Kou Luo was prepared. He took out Nan Rongbo's folding fan from the mustard seed bag and unfolded it, and luckily escaped the disaster.
Zhu Changyang was so annoyed that he quickly took the high beam back from Jun Shu's hand and said, "Don't shine it into people's eyes."
Jun Shu let go angrily: "Oh."
Studio:
[Hahahaha, another member has joined the my eyes emoticon pack army! ]
[The lethality of high beams is truly terrifying! ]
With high beam, it is much more convenient to travel at night.
Zhu Changyang also took out a string of light bulbs used in the previous party and installed them on the top of the chariot.
As soon as the motor started, the three people from Mishan Sect were shocked. They immediately took out their jade tablets and added Zhu Changyang as their friend.
They continued eastward for several days, but still hadn't found the source of the evil spirit. However, one night a small misunderstanding occurred.
Several sword practitioners who were traveling at night were suddenly illuminated by the high beams, which almost led to a fight.
Fortunately, the Ji Jin Sect disciple holding the lamp in front showed the Ji Jin Sect's token in time, thus avoiding a disaster.
Zhu Changyang then gave the disciple holding the lantern a loudspeaker so that he could shout out to people when the lantern shined on them.
When the three people from Mishan Sect saw the equipment that Zhu Changyang had equipped for the Baonian, they felt it was very practical and placed an order on the spot.
The live broadcast room is a completely different mood:
[High beam lights plus horn, who wouldn’t say it’s advanced? ]
On the fifth day, that faint demonic aura became stronger and stronger.
At nightfall that day, everything was quiet. The Ji Jin Sect disciple who was on duty sat in the front of the treasure chariot, holding up the high beam to illuminate Xing Yuehun, when he suddenly heard a "Hey - Hey" sound coming from under his feet.
Because of the distance, the call was very faint, but this sound was very distinctive. The disciple recognized it immediately and exclaimed, "Ah!", "I heard the call of the night insect!"
The other people in the Ji Jin Sect were startled when they heard this, and they quickly concentrated and listened carefully, and indeed they heard the strange cry.
Si Kou Luo's face became serious: "Lower the chariot and take a good look at the current position."
Zhu Changyang's knowledge of night bugs was still limited to what he read in textbooks. He only knew that their blood could be used to draw runes on weapons, but he didn't understand why everyone was so nervous, so he asked, "Any questions?"
Si Kou Luo asked: "Do you know where the night insects come from?"
Zhu Changyang really didn't pay attention to this. He was just thinking about it when he heard Jun Shu say, "We have arrived at the Kudu River."
At this time, the chariot had already descended halfway, and the undulating mountains could be vaguely seen on the ground. There were a few faint lights in front of the mountains, which should be the people living here.
Near those few lights, the moonlight sprinkled down, reflecting silver waves, and it turned out to be a rushing black river.
The other side of the river was pitch black, as if the moonlight was blocked out, and nothing could be seen.
Zhu Changyang finally understood why the people from Jijin Sect looked so worried.
The Kudu River is one of the most famous rivers in Piaomiao Continent. It has a very special location, right at the junction of two domains.
The west bank of the river is the sphere of influence of the righteous path, and further east is the infamous Eastern Demon Realm.
There are two major demonic domains in Piaomiao Continent, the East and the West. Legend has it that ten thousand years ago, these two domains were originally one and were called the Land of Return. Later, for unknown reasons, disagreements arose within them and they split into two factions.
Today, the Western Demon Realm is controlled by the Su Sect where Yin Kanwei is located, and the Eastern Demon Realm is ruled by the Hui Sect.
These two sects have similar origins, and their names show some similarities, but their styles of doing things are very different.
If the conflict between the Sujiao and the orthodox path was relatively restrained, the Huijiao was completely unbridled and unruly.
In particular, the Demon Lord Dong Yaoyan who is in charge of Hui Sect can be called the number one female demon in the Nine Realms. She behaves capriciously and domineeringly and takes pleasure in teasing righteous monks.
Whenever the righteous people mention this person, they all grit their teeth.
If Fairy Xia Jue's spirit had gone to the Eastern Demon Realm, this journey might not be so easy.
Thinking of this, everyone from Jijin Sect frowned.
At this moment, Xing Yuehun exclaimed softly: "The evil spirit has disappeared."
"What's going on?" Si Kouluo's face changed slightly, "But my master is in danger?"
“Don’t worry, Sect Master.” Xing Yuehun said, “It’s just that the demonic energy here is mixed with the aura left by the fairy lady, making it difficult to distinguish.”
The Kudu River is located at the junction of two regions, where good and bad people mix, so it is not surprising that this situation occurs.
Si Koro asked: "What should we do then?"
Xing Yuehun said: "We can only go to the ground first, wait for me to set up the talisman formation, and then search."
Si Koro: "It has to be this way."
Xing Yuehun hesitated for a moment and asked, "If the fairy's spirit really entered the Eastern Demon Realm, you..."
Si Kou Luo's face was gloomy: "Then we have no choice but to go in."
Xing Yuehun sighed and said no more.
Zhu Changyang originally had no feelings towards the demon cultivators, and since he had a good relationship with Yin Kanwei, he didn't think the demon cultivators were that scary.
Seeing them so serious at this time, I couldn't help but feel curious.
After thinking for a while, he took out the jade tablet and sent a message to Yin Kanwei:
Zhu Changyang: [Brother Yin, how is your relationship with the Eastern Demon Realm? ]
Yin Kanwei happened to be still awake and replied quickly: [Very bad]
Zhu Changyang: “…”
Yin Kanwei: [Have you been to the Eastern Demon Realm?]
Zhu Changyang: [Yes, I'm just passing by, do you have any suggestions for me? ]
Yin Kanwei: [Yes]
Yin Kanwei: [Be careful of Dong Yaoyan. She likes to pretend to be a mortal woman to seduce the righteous monks.]
Yin Kanwei: [Especially someone like Jun Shu. Please ask him to protect himself.]
Zhu Changyang: “…”
