On the stone platform that was slashed out with sharp edges and corners with sword energy, Tang Gongzheng still sat there quietly. Nearly ten days have passed. Whether it was wind, sun and rain, he had been sculpting like that, as if there was no change at all.

The change on the huge fire wall he was facing was becoming increasingly obvious. At the beginning, the flames in a small area in front of him fluctuated from time to time, as if they were disturbed by an invisible hand and dispersed. But now, they were horizontal and horizontal, and each time, a huge trace of more than ten feet long and several feet wide appeared quietly on the fire wall, as if the invisible giant that had been attacking this fire wall was getting bigger and bigger and stronger.

Just looking around, in front of the huge fireball that enveloped the entire Tianhuo Mountain in the diameter of several miles, these scars were as small as an ant slashing an elephant. What's more, the scars on the fire wall would be filled with the flames coming from other directions in just a moment.

". In this way, Mr. Tang Si can really push his sword intent to another level in these days. The Great Destroyer is the first method of attacking among the five strategies of the heavenly demons. He takes a little destruction and collapse of the essence of everything, and is said to be enough to destroy all things. Whether it is a tangible thing, or the invisible primordial qi Taoism, the thoughts can be broken and destroyed. As long as Mr. Tang Si can really understand the trick, he may be able to break through this extreme yang purgatory cover."

Looking at Tang Gongzheng sitting quietly on the high platform in the distance, and the knife marks appearing on the fire wall. The Shi Taoist's expression was a bit solemn and a little admiring. More of it was a pity. The pair of flying swords behind him were also buzzing and low, and the low sound seemed to have a faint sense of sadness: "But this magical martial art is too domineering. It is said that those who practiced this magic sect backfired by the devil's sect in the end were crushed by that little intention of collapse and died. I don't know how much the Tang family generals improved, but no matter what, they had to use this method of pulling seedlings to promote growth to strengthen their power, which would greatly harm themselves. After this, it might be difficult for them to make progress in their lives."

The search and investigation last night was not only exhausted by the disciples of the lower-level disciples of the Treasure Hunt League, but no suspicious traces were found within a radius of a hundred miles. The mysterious little sedan chair seemed to disappear with the half-dead boss. However, the leaders of the Treasure Hunt League did not dare to be careless at all, but instead led people to continue to investigate everywhere. Even the general leader of the Treasure Hunt League specially brought the two flying swords that had replied a little bit of energy to Tang Gongzheng to check.

Bai Jinfeng, not far away, also heard the words of Taoist Shi, and her pretty face, which was always full of sorrow, became even more gloomy. However, suddenly she waved her fist and snorted, "It's okay. There are many fairy grass and magic fruits in the mountains of Yunjian. Even if the Tang family prince is seriously injured, it can be cured."

Taoist Shi didn't even look at Bai Jinfeng, but he curled his lips as if he heard the ignorant joke of a filial son, and continued to say coldly: "Originally, in at most fifteen years, he could be one of the three famous sword-using masters in the world and one of the ten youngest masters in the world. Going further, maybe with the experience accumulated by the Tang family's generations of heads of the Tang family, he could break through the path of the Demon Cult's Emperor who failed to succeed in his martial arts in his lifetime. It's a pity that he is here, because of his brotherly friendship that he can't let go, he ruined all his bright future."

Xiao Xia said from the side: "What kind of people can have a knife? And as long as it is still a knife in a person's hands, there are things that cannot be put down and cannot be cut. It is precisely because of the most affectionate nature that Brother Tang's sword can be so pure and pure, so he is destined to make such a choice."

"Boy talked to the monk, and he saw too many clever tricks in his words." Taoist Shi smiled coldly and turned to look at Xiao Xia. "Was the little monk revealing what secrets did you know? Can you tell me?"

Xiao Xia smiled and knew that this could not be hidden from others. Although no one noticed or knew when he went there, after all, he had been talking to Shifang on the top of the more than ten feet of trees for a long time. With the illumination of the huge fireball, it was clearly visible one or two miles away. Naturally, the disciples of the Treasure Hunt Alliance had already reported to several leaders. He had no intention of fooling Taoist Shi, so he said directly: "Master Shifang also said that the person in the sedan chair we saw had some plans. There might be a huge storm in the matter of Zhuque Spirit Fire. It is best to retreat early."

Taoist Shi snorted coldly and said, "Then why didn't you retreat quickly?"

"Of course, it's because I can't let go and can't cut things." Xiao Xia smiled. "And the Taoist priest knew that this was extremely risky, but he was unwilling to let go halfway. Isn't there something that can't let go and can't cut things?"

Taoist Shi glared at Xiao Xia and snorted coldly: "I have two flying swords on my side. If I want to escape, there are not many people in the world who can really keep me. But you, a kid, have a talisman and magic spell, and if you meet the man in the sedan chair that night in a mess, that devil's heart spell will restrain all the Taoist martial arts that are not in the innate realm, you and your confidante, Miss Mingyue, may not even have any hope of escaping."

Speaking of this, Taoist Shi took out another firework and handed it to Xiaoxia: "I know you are smart and changeable, with unique vision. Even if you want to go around inquiries these days, it is best not to walk out of the woods twenty miles away. Once the traces of the mysterious man that night appeared, use the fireworks to warn me. I will come with my sword in an instant. These two flying swords can restrain the devil's curse that day. As long as you catch the man first and find out his arrangements and plans, the potential hidden danger will be more than ten."

Xiao Xia nodded, took the fireworks and put them in his arms. However, he knew that the fireworks would probably never come in handy. The mysterious man in the sedan chair had no chance of risking to sneak into here. He had a certain plan in his mind and was even less likely to risk causing trouble for himself. The remarks that Taoist Shi came here to give him were undoubtedly to make himself look for traces of the man in the sedan chair again, but it was in vain.

However, Taoist Shi came this time because Xiao Xia happened to have something to find him.

"Don't worry, Taoist priest. But I happened to ask Taoist priest Shi to help me. This period of time, I used the talismans at the bottom of the box. Now I have free time to make some to use. However, there are no various spirit stones used to make talismans in a hurry. I have seen the Taoist priest's treasure hunting alliance behave carefully and all parties are well prepared. Food and water are not a problem. Even the flying organs and beasts have prepared several of them. I must have prepared the materials for making talismans. I must have prepared some for me. Is it a waste to give them some?"

Starting from Qingzhou, Xiao Xia's talismans were only used and had not been supplemented at all. Now there are only a dozen pieces left in the talisman bag on his waist. Even if you draw the lowest level talisman, talisman paper and cinnabar are indispensable. For medium-grade or above talismans, you need to use various spiritual objects containing the five elements of vitality, or grinding and refined spirit stone powder, or potions extracted from the blood essence of monsters. There are many varieties and it is hard to count.

The higher the grade, the higher the spiritual objects you need, the rarer it will be. It is extremely troublesome to collect and refine them by your own strength. You can only buy them in the black market. Not to mention hundreds of taels of silver, some rare things have to be bought with luck. Xiao Xia has discovered that there are some Taoist priests and mages or scattered wild Taoists in this treasure hunting league. Judging from the carefully arranged formation of the treasure hunting league, they should also have spiritual objects for them to draw talismans.

When Taoist Shi heard this, he frowned and was a little displeased: "Split some for you? Can we buy and refine these things without any energy and spend money?"

Xiao Xia hurriedly said, ". Everyone is helping each other, right? Why do you talk about vulgar things like gold and silver? OK, then I can buy them with silver, right? I just hope that Taoist Shi will speak. I will tell you if they can give some discounts on this price. As the Taoist priest, the general leader, it is half price, no, 60% off."

The face of Daoren Shi became a little strange: "You kid looked so profound before, who was loyal to you. Why did you suddenly become so merciless when you talk about silver?"

". The habit that has been developed in wandering around the world for many years, Taoist priests should not be used to it, haha." Xiaoxia smiled embarrassedly. "We are a wild Taoist priest who are free from sects and fellow Taoists who have a sect salary. If we don't tighten our belts on this talisman material, we might have to risk being soaked in the mortal pit to deceive some old wealth in the countryside."

"" Taoist Shi continued to be stunned with a strange expression, and suddenly waved his hand and said, "Then you go and find Fatty Hu by yourself. Although those Taoist priests and mages are basically under my Five Mountains Alliance, the materials in this alliance are all purchased and dispatched by Fatty Hu's Yuelai Trading Company. After I go back, I will say hello to you and treat you as the mage hired by my Five Mountains Alliance. Those talisman-making spirit objects will only be calculated for you at the cost price."

"Thank you so much for Master Shi!" Xiao Xia was immediately overjoyed. The prices of the raw materials of those spiritual objects actually fell on the cumbersome collection, sorting, sacrificial and refining skills, saving this item would cost more than half of the price.

".But you have to promise me something."

".What?" Xiao Xia was stunned.

Taoist Shi hesitated for a moment, but still waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's not a big deal, let's talk about it later."

Half a day later, Xiao Xia got a full 3,000 taels of silver from the fourth league leader Hu Fatty.

Xiao Xia did not ask Taoist Shi to pay him a credit. One reason was that he was unwilling to owe this favor too much, and the other was that he was also a leader who knew that the price of food, rice, oil and salt was expensive. He was not a hero who could spend a lot of money in the world who could make a fortune. So Xiao Xia borrowed the 3,000 taels of silver.

There are two types of people who are most happy with money in this world. One is a person who doesn’t know how money comes from and only knows how to use it. The other is a person who is obsessed with something and has no money at all. There is a person who combines the two in one nearby - He Tian, ​​a disciple of Kunlun Sect, who is in the Third Academy.

Every time I saw the cloud and smoke lily outside the window of Baijinfeng, Xiaoxia wanted to curse her. The flower was originally used to refine the water-storing Yuanli in the water-storing Yuanli, but she had to wait for the flower to absorb the water-storing Yuanli and transform it into fruits with its own grass and trees, and broke it alive and picked it off. The flower and the water-storing Lily used to cultivate were all thrown into the water. Baijinfeng said that He Tian started to send one every day in Baishi City. Even though he was still in the woods, Xiaoxia secretly estimated that the consumed water-storing Yuanli and Yunyan lily had already received thousands of taels of silver.

So Xiao Xia unceremoniously found this wealthy Kunlun master and directly borrowed money from him.

Of course He Tian didn't do it. Although the children of this kind of aristocratic family often do stupid things, they are not fools. It is impossible to rashly borrow thousands of taels of silver to someone whom they don't know and don't like. However, Xiao Xia completely convinced him with a few words. First of all, Xiao Xia clearly told him that the money was all necessary to help Tang Gongzheng. If you borrow it, it would be like selling Miss Bai a big favor. In the future, the Fourth Master Tang would naturally weaken a little bit of momentum when he saw you. He was shorter, and if you borrowed it, I will tell you why he was so infatuated and so hard that he couldn't win the little bit of Miss Bai's favor.

After hearing this, He Tian took out all the golden leaves and silver notes on his body without thinking, and then put them on a jade pendant that refines the function of exorcising evil spirits. He stuffed them all into his hands as if he was afraid that Xiao Xia would change his mind. Then he asked, tell me why it was like that. I worked hard to cultivate such beautiful flowers every day to send them to her window, but she didn't look at it, but just looked at Tang Siku sitting.

In fact, it is extremely simple, because the platinum phoenix you like is not the real platinum phoenix, or you don’t like her at all. Xiao Xia said with a faint smile.

He Tian was stunned when he heard this, and said, "How is it possible." He grabbed Xiaoxia and told him in detail how he met Bai Jinfeng in the Baishicheng Inn that day. How did she see her clever smile? She smiled and felt an unconcealed vitality. So she felt that there was never a feeling of excitement and admiration in the deepest part of her heart. She was afraid of abrupt beauty and did not dare to act rashly. She had to rack her brains and try her best to buy the Yunyan lily seeds of Yunzhou specialty Yunhuang Jingyan, and cultivated it every day. She only hoped that the beauty would understand her painstaking efforts and infatuation one day and change her mind.

Xiaoxia calmly said, why didn't she like what you did so hard? Because you just think she would like it, or you did it for yourself. You didn't even know what kind of person she was? You didn't know what she thought and thought in your heart, so how could you like it? You just thought you like her very much. In fact, you just like the feeling and impulse when you saw her.

After saying this, Xiao Xia took the gold leaves and silver notes and left, leaving He Tian standing there with half a sad and bleak face and half confused thinking about the profound Zen principle of the White Girl not only named White Girl.

As for the movements of Liang Hongtao and the group of people from the Third Hospital of the Lower Third Hospital, Xiao Xia didn't ask, he had known what the formation arranged outside the forest was for. He could probably guess what those people were planning. Anyway, it had little to do with him. If there was a huge change at that time, it might be of some effect, so he would be too lazy to pay attention to it now.

Jinyezi and silver notes had more than 1,000 taels of silver together, and the jade pendant was mortgaged together. Xiaoxia finally got enough materials for talisman making, chose a secluded place, and built a flat stone platform to prepare for talisman making.

If the materials are sufficient and abundant, it is definitely the first time in my life. The more than 3,000 taels of silver is the cost price. If it is calculated as the price in the normal black market, it is almost impossible to imagine it in daily life. However, Xiao Xia's heart is very calm now. From the moment he decided to stay after listening to Shifang's words last night, his heart has completely calmed down.

A piece of yellow talisman paper nearly a foot long and three inches wide was spread on the rock in front of me. It was carefully refined with purple black wood pulp and yellow leaf sheepskin. It is a standard high-quality talisman paper that draws medium-grade top-grade talismans. If it is drawn properly, it can at least ensure that the spells in the talisman will not collapse and become invalid within five years. However, this talisman paper is worth five taels of silver.

Xiao Xia picked up a yellow blood marrow pill in his left hand. It was a finished product made with the essence and blood of the earth monster. He put his index finger in his mouth and bit it. Then he stretched out his finger to point it. The yellow projectile as big as a thumb was shattered, and some fine residues spilled down. The rest turned into a ball of leaping yellow vital energy and left it on Xiao Xia's fingertips. Then Xiao Xia's finger fell on the talisman paper, using his qi and blood as a guide and his divine thoughts as a bridge to outline a complex cloud pattern on the talisman paper.

If an authentic Taoist disciple who practices magic talismans sees it, he will immediately think that this person must be crazy. He doesn't even have rubbings or templates. He directly outlines the medium-grade talisman with his own essence, blood and spirit. This is like cultivating a tall building without drawings, just picking up the materials together at will, which is not incredible, it's simply a mess. Moreover, the outlined cloud patterns are obviously a bit out of shape, and some places are far from the standard authentic cloud patterns. But overall, it seems that there is a sense of balance and harmony. The most important thing is that until Xiao Xia's fingers are drawn, the cloud patterns have no sign of disintegration and disappearance. Just like other talismans, it stabilizes all their vitality safely and steadily.

Xiao Xia let out a long sigh and wiped the sweat from his forehead. What he drew was probably a first-grade earth talisman, and it was the first time he had drawn a first-grade talisman in his life.

The top-grade talismans are based on the meaning of the nine levels of heaven, starting with the first grade, the ninth grade is the highest, the middle grade and the lower grade are arranged with the official positions in the world, starting with the ninth grade, and the first grade is the highest. The highest drawn by Xiao Xia before is only to barely draw the third grade of the middle grade. And that is just the pass threshold for the talisman Taoist priests of famous schools. Only by drawing the first grade of the middle grade can one be considered as entering the hall in the way of talismans.

Before this, Xiao Xia would not even think about the first-grade talisman. The drawing of the first-grade talisman was the most complicated and difficult to control under the innate magic. It just failed to make Xiao Xia try it out. But now, this time, Xiao Xia is very confident.

Xiao Xia has not received any formal talisman training, has never memorized the cloud pattern formula, has never practiced brushwork, has never practiced meditation, has practiced meditation and meditation to temper the mind, but when it comes to talismans, he is more familiar with it than anyone else. The first time he saw calligraphy and paintings from the beginning of his life was talismans, and the first time he took a pen to write on paper was talismans. The old Taoist Xiyi only explained the basic principles of talismans to him in detail, and the rest was that he kept exploring and practicing. In the past ten years, the various talismans he drew and used were definitely no less than any Taoist disciple, and he modified them because of various situations.

He has done a lot of things that the disciples of famous and upright sects have repaired scrapped talismans, and even made fake talismans, and other series of things that he could not even imagine. He has tried instantly, even provoked, and various talismans. He is like a warrior who has no master or secrets, and has been exploring and fighting constantly since he was a child. Compared with those swordsmen and boxers who have masters and routines to practice, he has no fixed posture and fixed tricks. Sometimes he seems to be doing it all, but every move and every posture he has learned from countless failures and practices, and is already part of his entire soul.

It can be said that Xiao Xia is confident that he is no less than anyone else about the "feeling" of the talisman.

He has used two of the three earth-sporting innate talismans given to him by Shi Zhongni. He has benefited a lot from experiencing the operation of the top-grade earth-sporting spells. In addition, the use of Zhang Tianshi's Gantian Lock Demon Talisman in the Qingzhou forest before, and the unsealing of the seal has allowed him to have a deeper understanding of the way of the talisman. Now there are spiritual materials worth seven or eight thousand taels of silver next to him, so he is of course more confident than ever.

The earth-moving vitality of the Blood Marrow Pill has been completely stabilized, and the skeleton of the talisman has been settled. Next is the more complex cloud pattern of the magic itself. Xiao Xia picked up a small bottle of blood-like juice and a yellow earth ball from the side, poured the red water into his left hand, crushed the earth ball with his right hand, and used both hands to draw it on the talisman paper with the red water and the powder of the earth ball.

The cloud patterns on the talisman paper are delicate and complex. The most important thing is the balance of the mind and the application of vital energy is no mistake. However, Xiao Xia's mood was very calm, without any anxiety, and meticulously guided the five elements vital energy to turn into cloud patterns on the talisman paper. This kind of calmness is also the greatest source of his confidence.

This is not the kind of calm that cannot be stormed at all, but the kind of calmness of a cup of turbid wine and a plate of oil beans in a turbid boat with storms and turbid waves. He knew that the wind was terrifying, huge waves were surging, and it was a flourishing thing to get into the wind and waves. But since he could not stop the wind and waves, then do what he could do. Starting from the woods of Qingzhou, the uneasy, anxiety, calculation, and worry about gains and losses in his heart, but it calmed down at this moment. This was a kind of calmness full of power. Xiaoxia even had a faint premonition in this calmness. Although this storm may be extremely tragic, it could also blow away a lot of the haze that spreads on the surface.

Before he knew it, all the materials in his hand were drawn on the talisman paper without any trace, turning into fine and complex cloud patterns. A wave of erect five elements vital energy made a sound and then calmed down again. Without a trace of exposed interactions, they were restrained and gathered together. This middle-grade talisman was completely drawn.

Xiao Xia smiled. Although he was sweating heavily and his mind was dizzy, he smiled the happiest time in the past two years.

The next thing is to consume all the spiritual materials in the remaining ten days and make all the talismans to prepare for the storm that will happen in the ten days.

The remaining ten days will be short, Xiao Xia is sure. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
