When they first entered Yanjiang County, Man Gu proposed to inform the local government about the Yanjiang Ductile Iron Head incident and search for Qin Yuanhao together, but this was rejected by Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou on the grounds that the government could not be trusted.
Now it seems that their concerns were not unfounded.
Yan Jiangduo has planted an undercover agent in the government, and his position is not low!
Leader Chu said slowly, "Lu Yang, among the senior leaders of Yanjiang, I am most optimistic about you. After the Spring Festival, the higher-ups will send people to inspect Yanjiang. This inspection will be different from the previous ones. With you, Meng Jingzhou, and Man Gu, three seeds of the magic path, this time, the higher-ups will give me a much higher evaluation."
"I have a great chance of being promoted, so the position of helmsman will be vacant."
"According to convention, the new helmsman will be selected from the top management of the helmsman. Although you are still young, considering the leader's evaluation of you, it is not impossible for you to be appointed as the new helmsman."
"Your competitors are still in jail and will not be released until three days later. They are so foolish. The higher-ups will not think highly of them."
"The Spring Festival is a big festival in several nearby counties and has a significant impact. If you cause some trouble during this festival, your superiors will look upon you with more respect." Captain Chu reminded Lu Yang vaguely.
…
Lu Yang told Meng Jingzhou and others what Captain Chu had said. Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu were very glad that they had chosen to spread rumors about Qin Yuanhao instead of asking the government for help.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a popular barbecue restaurant.
Lu Yang wondered if there was something wrong with their focus.
"We just don't know who is the undercover arranged by Captain Chu." The four of them were in a dilemma. They didn't know who in the government was qualified to know about Huang Fu.
"Don't be afraid, when you become the captain, you will know who the undercover is. Captain Chu values you so much, he will definitely tell you before you leave!" Meng Jingzhou laughed. He didn't expect Lu Yang to be promoted so quickly.
If Lu Yang gets promoted, he and Man Gu can do whatever they want in Yanjiang County.
It’s good to have someone to protect you.
The four were discussing animatedly when they heard Captain Wei knocking on the door.
"Shopkeeper Lu, I've brought you another silk banner."
Lu Yang opened the door and warmly welcomed Captain Wei in.
"You, they're all here. It's so lively." Captain Wei said casually.
"We were discussing yesterday's case."
After hearing what Lu Yang said, Captain Wei warned him seriously, "Shopkeeper Lu, you must keep last night's case a secret and don't tell anyone else."
"I also know that you are not ordinary people. You are monks who come here to experience life, and sometimes you even do things that are righteous and injustice."
"But this time is different. This time it involves a ruthless demon monk. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger. You must not look for the owner of the talisman paper."
Lu Yang laughed. The evil path warned him not to get involved in this matter, and the righteous path also warned him not to get involved in this matter.
"Don't laugh, this is a very serious matter!" Captain Wei thought that Lu Yang didn't take this matter to heart.
Lu Yang frowned and promised that he would not get involved in the matter, and Captain Wei then left with peace of mind.
"Have some tea before you go."
Captain Wei waved his hand: "No, the leader is pressing me, I still need to take people to find other talismans."
After sending Captain Wei away, Lu Yang and the other three were worried that the government office was short-staffed and might not be able to catch the person in the dark.
If this matter goes wrong, I don’t know how many people’s lives will be secretly taken away.
Lu Yang lowered his head and thought: "We have learned how to conceal our breath, but simply using the method of concealing our breath may not be safe."
He looked up at Lanting, who was learning how to skewer skewers with his minions, and had an idea.
"Fellow Daoist Lanting, I have a favor to ask of you."
Lan Ting smiled and said, "We are all disciples of the immortal sect. Let's slay demons together. I am still your subordinate now. There is no need to be so distant. Just call me Lan Ting."
Lu Yang responded: "Lanting, can you teach us the invisibility talisman?"
Lan Ting understood what Lu Yang meant: "You mean you want to use the invisibility talisman to hide your body and secretly help Captain Wei?"
Lu Yang nodded.
"Of course, no problem. The invisibility rune is not a very difficult rune. As long as your talent is not too bad, you can learn it in half a day."
Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu were very excited when they heard that they could learn new things again, and that they were not taught by Lu Yang.
"Have you three ever learned talismans?"
The three of them shook their heads.
Lan Ting was not surprised: "Then I will teach you from the beginning."
Lan Ting was also very excited. This was the first time she taught someone something. When she was in Laurel Palace, it was her senior sisters who taught her. Now it was finally her turn to be a teacher.
"The essence of talismans is to materialize spells in the form of graphics and put them on paper. The three of you are from the Taoist sect, and you are all talented in spells. It will be easy for you to learn."
"…The talisman core is the soul of a talisman. Whether a talisman can fully exert its effect depends largely on whether there is a talisman core guarding it…"
“… The most commonly used pattern in talismans is the cloud talisman, which is a pattern that imitates the changing shapes of clouds in the sky, taken from nature…”
"Specifically speaking, the invisibility talisman uses the 'Gang' as the core of the talisman, and the ethereal fixed-form cloud scroll as the pattern."
Lan Ting put some clean water on her fingertips and moved her fingers like a dragon or a snake. After a few strokes, she drew an invisibility talisman on the table. She used her palm to suck, and the invisibility talisman left the table and was attached to her palm.
Lan Ting slapped his body and disappeared under the three people's fixed gazes.
A few breaths later, Lan Ting appeared and said with a faint smile: "This is the most basic invisibility talisman. It can only hide my body visually. You should be able to detect my location through details such as breathing and heartbeat."
The three of them nodded. Even so, it was still quite impressive.
"You guys give it a try."
After half a day's study, the three of them had a preliminary understanding of talismans. They took out the four treasures of the study and began to try to write invisibility talismans. However, they were not yet able to use water as a talisman.
Meng Jingzhou has been practicing calligraphy for many years and has excellent handwriting. His right hand and wrist holding the brush are extremely steady.
He circulated his spiritual power at the tip of his pen and quickly drew an invisibility talisman that was 80% similar to the one Lanting had drawn.
After painting it several times, it was almost the same as Lanting's.
Meng Jingzhou stuck to her body with a smile and disappeared.
Man Gu was less talented in this area, and his control over his spiritual power was not precise enough. He tried dozens of times before he succeeded once. As the number of attempts increased, his success rate became higher and higher.
Lan Ting secretly admired that he was worthy of being a disciple of the Wendao Sect and had a natural talent for talismans.
How is Lu Yang
Lan Ting looked at Lu Yang.
Lu Yang also quickly wrote an invisibility talisman, and it was successful in one go. His talent was extremely terrifying.
Lu Yang put the invisibility talisman on his body and disappeared completely.
But only the people disappeared, the clothes remained.
Like it's haunted.
"What the hell!" A magical thing happened, the clothes began to speak.
Lu Yang thought that since he was invisible now, he might as well take off his clothes.
Then he discovered in despair that the invisibility talisman paper could still be seen.
This is bullshit stealth!
He almost tore off the paper of the invisibility talisman.
Fortunately, his reason still worked and he didn't do that.
