With this smile, there was emptiness in front of my eyes.
"No!" Pei Ziyun woke up in an instant, sweating profusely and soaking wet. In his mind, the weird smile just now was still vivid in his mind.
The stinging pain all over his body had subsided by now, and a stone fell to the ground, shouting: "System!"
A plum blossom suddenly appeared in front of me, and it quickly enlarged into a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light. The data that needed to be seen appeared in front of my eyes.
"Yin Shen: The First Level"
"Taoism: Thirty-nine Types (Mastery)"
"Swordsmanship: Grandmaster (19.1% completion)"
"Supernatural Power: The First Level of Star Shift"
"Times change." Pei Ziyun couldn't help but smile, but after thinking about it for a while, memories kept coming up, but his expression gradually changed.
"Dragon Qi is domineering, but its essence is still spiritual power."
"Stare into the abyss, and you will be stared into by the abyss. People who do not practice spiritual power will find it hard to relate to killing officials. Therefore, although they will be hunted by the officials, there will be no direct backlash."
"For Taoist practitioners, or all those who practice spiritual power, killing an official is equivalent to cutting off the dragon's energy, and they will directly face the backlash. However, Yin Shen Zhenren opened the heavenly gate and his energy soared into the sky, but he was more vulnerable to the attack of the dragon's energy and was injured. Ontology.”
"According to what was said in the previous life, those monks who did not practice Buddhism would not be disturbed by demons. If they practiced Buddhism and entered meditation, they would be easily disturbed by demons."
"Until you become successful, you will gradually become free from external interference."
This is easy to understand. People who jump into the water will naturally be attacked by animals in the water until they turn into sharks.
"But why is it so difficult to achieve success? The so-called transformation of stars is actually to reduce the exposure of Yin Shen or one's own cleverness. Hiding it in various ways will reduce the backlash."
"Not only that, in theory it can also reduce other spiritual attacks - compared with Taoist attacks, it will be weakened."
"Now, the reduction of the ninth-level official energy will definitely have a backlash, but it will not have much effect on the eighth-level. And Taoist Jingming has limited achievements and can only cultivate to the third level. Therefore, this person was rampant for a while, but he still died from the backlash. According to memory, , but more than thirty years old.”
"Ji Dan's ancestors reached out to save him and buried him in peace, so he was given this jade pendant."
"It's a pity that the owner of this jade pendant has repeatedly killed officials, but he can enter the public service but cannot be an official. So Ji Shan died violently due to the evil spirit?"
"It's just superstition. This is just one of the trivial factors."
Pei Ziyun was either happy or worried for a moment. After acquiring this magical power, the backlash was weakened. As long as he did not fall into the army, he would not encounter a fatal crisis, but he still had to perfect it himself.
At this moment, I suddenly felt my head explode, and a murderous intention surged up: "Kill, kill, kill."
A voice kept shouting in Pei Ziyun's mind, and Pei Ziyun turned pale: "Isn't this the backlash of the dragon's energy? Is this the remaining spiritual imprint of Taoist Jingming?"
"As the sustenance of absorption becomes stronger, the interference to me becomes more and more serious."
"There is definitely a secret to this plum blossom. If it weren't for this increasingly strong interference, Xie Chengdong in his previous life would not be able to become a saint physically. Damn it."
Pei Ziyun didn't know who he was scolding. He had a headache and couldn't stand. He rolled up on the ground: "Damn it, the dragon's energy backlash and the spiritual backlash came at the same time. This state is too dangerous. I must escape to the mountains."
"The most dangerous place is the safest place full of idiots."
Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun staggered to the window and saw a bullock cart on the street below, turning into a stream of light. He threw himself under the cart, grabbed the wooden board, and fell into semi-consciousness.
The biting cold wind blew down, and there was a loud banging sound of armor leaves. Not only the soldiers, but also the soldiers and policemen were mobilized, scaring the people on the street to run away.
"Search, search for me, search for the blood stains."
"This boy can't escape far. He has been attacked by the dragon's energy. Where else can he escape? There must be traces of blood nearby. As long as he finds it, he will have accomplished a great service." Eunuch Ding said loudly.
"Yes, father-in-law!" Answers sounded from everywhere.
"Father, I found a blood stain." A policeman came straight towards him. Hearing what the policeman said, the eunuch was overjoyed.
"Wu Duji, come with me quickly." The eunuch looked ahead, turned around and ordered.
"Yes, father-in-law." A Taoist who followed the eunuch came out. Since he was called Duji, he was the chief of the county's Daolu Department, from the ninth rank.
The two of them walked forward. On one side of the road, there was a trace of blood on the ground. Seeing the blood, Eunuch Ding frowned and looked at the Taoist Priest: "Wu Duji, please take a look."
Wudu Ji Shangqian touched the blood stains and seemed to be distinguishing them. After a long time, Wudu Ji said: "This blood is still fresh. It hasn't been a long time, but the essence has been dissipated. It is not the blood of a cultivator."
"Continue to investigate." Eunuch Ding ordered loudly to the arresters who were surrounding him.
"A monk's essence and blood are strong. After the blood leaves the human body, he will still be alive for a period of time. It is more difficult to collapse than ordinary people. This person has not been gone for a long time. A quick check. The blood stains are especially bright red and need to be focused on." Wu Duji said.
"Sajia understands." Eunuch Ding glanced at the Taoist, said thoughtfully, and looked at the captain.
"Search, the blood stains are fresh, check quickly." The captain understood immediately and said loudly.
"Sir, I have a few drops of blood here, which are bright red." After a while, an official came forward to report.
"Take us there quickly." The man led him forward. When he arrived at the place, he looked at the ground and saw a drop of blood as big as a little finger, with a fresh smell, mixed with the soil, but not dispersed at all.
"This blood must be Pei Ziyun's blood. He can't escape far, and within seven days, I can use this blood to cast a spell to find this person's approximate location." Wu Duji took a jade bottle and put the blood on the ground into it. He sneered and said: "As long as it doesn't exceed a hundred miles."
"I also ask Wu Duji to cast a spell and find this person for me." Eunuch Ding looked at the Taoist and said a rare word of "please".
Wu Duji said: "It's easy. It just takes an hour to open the altar. Please ask your father-in-law to mobilize troops and blockade the city first to avoid escaping."
Power has the power to overwhelm mountains and oceans. In just a moment, it was made into a small altar, piled with soil, with a flag and a compass placed on it.
Wu Duji then stepped forward and said to Eunuch Ding: "Eunuch, please give me orders in the city. We and other Taoist officials are not allowed to send orders, we cannot open altars, and we have no magic power."
"Ji Wuluo, the director of Daolu, listens to the order and allows you to use magic to detect the whereabouts of Pei Ziyun." Eunuch Ding finally remembered and took out a cold talisman with a dragon pattern from his arms. It was made of gold and engraved with "King Lu" Two words, heavy, show its power.
As soon as he finished speaking, a small white and red snake jumped out from Yu's head and landed on Wudou Ji.
This white and red energy fell on Wudouji and instantly turned into an official robe. However, it was invisible to the naked eye. Wudouji had the perception and cast the spell.
"Your Majesty's Majesty, this is an urgent decree." Following Wu Duji's words, a gust of wind sounded.
Wu Duji stretched out his finger, and there seemed to be a cold wind blowing away. Everyone in the venue felt a chill on their bodies, and it took a while before they warmed up.
Later, Wu Duji seemed to be listening, and said for a long time: "Sir, this person's location has been found. This person is running towards the mountains. At this time, set up defenses quickly, this person cannot escape."
"Father, all the checkpoints along the way have been fortified." The county inspector stepped forward.
Eunuch Ding heard this and sneered: "Can you guys block it? No need. Immediately mobilize the militia, soldiers, arrests, and public servants to cooperate with my palace soldiers to search the mountains and kill people."
The patrol inspector heard this and responded quickly: "Yes, father-in-law."
A head catcher stood up. This man was fairly tall, with a short and thick build. His face was dark and red, with a reddish glow on his face. He was in his thirties, with a look that had been bathed in the law for a long time. He killed, in addition to Ji Dan, the head catcher who claimed to be a name arrester, he said: "Eunuch, I received the order from my father-in-law. This county has dispatched more than a hundred arrests. Pei Ziyun killed Lord Ji and became an enemy of all of us." , we all share the same hatred, and we must use this person’s head to pay homage to Lord Ji.”
Eunuch Ding looked at the people in front of him who were all trying to catch Pei Ziyun, and nodded: "Are you Fang Jie? You can't stop him at the current level, but you can lock the position, and the soldiers will search the mountain and compress Pei Ziyun's space for movement. , I have experienced police officers to follow and pursue them, I will lead the soldiers to support them, and I will strike with thunder once I find out."
"Go out immediately and search with all your strength so that this person won't have any chance to breathe." Eunuch Ding said loudly, looking quite organized.
Listening to Eunuch Ding's order, these people all shouted: "Kill this thief!"
After saying that, they all stepped out.
After crossing the river mouth, there is no official road. Although the mountain is not high, it is steep and dangerous. Some are steep, some are rugged, some are turbulent, and some are overgrown with thorns.
Fortunately, the area is not very large, and only densely packed people can be seen surrounding the mountain.
"Quick, quick, everyone is in groups of five, bring whistles, and sound every moment. Use the call as an order. If there is no response, something must have happened. Chase them with all your strength. If you find the thief, beat the gongs and drums immediately to give way. There is no way for this thief to escape." Several people shouted for arrangements.
Hearing this, the soldiers searching the mountain all responded loudly: "Yes!"
These soldiers patrolled, but the policemen were more professional. Several of them led hounds and searched frantically in the grass.
Pei Ziyun hid in a bush, breathing heavily. He was covered with some grass, and his side was covered with Taoism. There was a lot of blood.
I just encountered a group of soldiers, and I could have killed them easily, but Ju suddenly got a headache, and almost failed. Ju was also injured by the soldiers. It was really like a tiger being bullied by a dog.
"Woof woof woof!" At this moment, he suddenly heard the barking of the hound, and the hound rushed forward. Pei Ziyun felt that his hair was about to explode in an instant, and he was about to draw his sword.
A hare emerged from the grass and ran forward. The hound couldn't hold it back and was about to pounce on it.
The officer was furious: "Damn it, what kind of dog is this? It only knows how to chase rabbits."
When he was about to catch up, a soldier following him grabbed the yamen servant and said, "Sir, this hound Xiaoba is a good hunter at chasing rabbits. Let him go and we will have lunch."
"If I catch it, I won't settle the score with you. If I don't find it, I have to kill it and eat dog meat to relieve my hatred." The leader of the team cursed.
In the grass seven steps away, Pei Ziyun was lurking, staring in front of him. If he hadn't used Taoism to cover up his aura, he might have been discovered just now.
I don’t know who is in charge of this chase, one after another, and this method is a bit like the dragnet tactics of later generations, or it is exactly the same. It makes people feel suffocated. If they are not careful, they will fall into the siege. Pei Ziyun lies on the ground. In the grass, I thought to myself.
