Chapter 140 The Long Night 【Seeking Monthly Ticket】
In the candlelight silhouette, Yang Ji stared at the twelve portraits in front of the rice paper, frowning slightly, but countless images passed through his mind.
In the dark, these twelve projections slowly disappeared in my mind, leaving only twelve footprints. These twelve footprints clearly pointed out a trajectory...
"about there."
A flash of lightning flashed in Yang Ji's mind.
This kind of analysis, deduction, and methods of learning martial arts consume the most mental energy, but they also consume part of the physical energy. They cannot be continued indefinitely.
Yang Ji stopped and offered sacrifices to the five ghosts. There were dark clouds in the hall, and the sound of ghosts crying and howling could be heard faintly. Yang Ji closed his eyes without moving, and the blood all over his body flashed, making a roaring sound like magma, and the heaven and earth were filled with waves.
Essence gathered from all directions and entered Yang Ji's body.
Compared with half a month ago, Yang Ji's blood seemed purer, and the flowing magma-like blood flowed faster, making faint roaring sounds. This was a sign that he was about to advance to the third level of martial arts.
It's just that "a difference of a millimeter is a thousand miles." No matter how small the gap between martial arts realms is, it often requires a huge amount of effort to make up for it.
"I still have an Essence and Blood Pill with me. After taking it, I should be able to barely reach the beginning of the third level of martial arts."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
In Pingchuan County, the highest level of elixir that the court can reward is the "Essence of Essence and Blood Pill", which is also the limit of Pingchuan County. Even higher level elixirs can only be found in the treasury of the county or state.
The higher the level of the administrative district, the more treasures there are in its treasury. This is common sense known to everyone in the world.
It is extremely difficult to brew elixirs, so the quantity is often limited. Yang Ji had already obtained one before, and this one was one of the few "Essence and Blood Pills" in Pingchuan County. Yang Ji got two of them alone.
.
"Snapped!"
Opening the wooden box, a red, gem-like "Essence and Blood Pill" lay inside. Yang Ji had swallowed one before. Now that he was familiar with it, he picked up the "Essence and Blood Pill" and swallowed it in one gulp.
boom!
A strong red light burst out from Yang Ji's body, with Yang Ji as the center, and a strong wind within ten steps around him blew out a lamp in front of the table, and the candlelight on the walls on both sides was also swaying.
The red light on Yang Ji's body became stronger and stronger. His aura became louder and louder. There was a faint sound of magma rumbling deep underground in the void, and his blood energy moved faster and faster...
Hearing a loud bang, Yang Ji's whole body was shocked. The blood vessels and veins in his body actually expanded outwards under impossible circumstances. With just such a change, Yang Ji's blood energy increased a lot, reaching the third level of martial arts.
.
The third level of martial arts, the small transport realm. Different from the previous two realms, only by reaching this level, the blood energy will no longer simply increase energy, but will begin to gradually transform and expand the blood vessels to accommodate more blood energy. Reached.
The final realm of "blood as strong as a dragon".
It was quiet in the main hall. After the initial violent shock, the surroundings began to calm down. The red light bursting out of Yang Ji's body gradually became weaker and finally disappeared.
Yang Ji still closed his eyes and remained motionless.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the air twisted and light flashed. A black shadow instantly appeared next to Yang Ji, and quickly solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally forming a lifelike, tall and straight "chicken" with a green face and fangs!
"魑" is the first ghost among the five ghosts. Different from the previous incarnations, this "incarnation of the five ghosts" seems to have life, and all the details are revealed, as if it came from the "Five Ghosts Carrying Dafa" scriptures.
The painting tore out of the paper and walked out of thin air.
This point is much better than the five ghosts that Bai Yuanyuan summoned in the Martial Palace to transform into phantoms.
Swish!~
As soon as "魑" took shape, he immediately bent down and picked up the documents that had just been blown to the ground by the strong wind for Yang Ji. After gathering them, he sorted them into categories, stacked them, and put them on the table.
"Yes. The first one has been formed, and the rest will be formed later."
Yang Ji opened his eyes and looked at the living person beside him.
Yang Ji had read his father's "Practice Notes", and he had mastered the small handling method of the third level of martial arts to the extreme. He could condense these incarnations and use them like martial pets.
For example, if you learn the "Method of Carrying the Bull" to the extreme, you can summon a muscular and violent bull. You can even use it as a riding companion to parade around the world.
However, these require reaching the third level of martial arts and the realm of "blood and energy like a dragon".
If Yang Ji's "Five Ghost Transporting Technique" is used to the limit, he can summon five "demon monsters". These are not just illusions, but can walk and do things like normal people, which is equivalent to five more servants and monsters.
thug.
However, the more advanced the method of transporting qi and blood, the more difficult it is to practice, and summoning an avatar requires the consumption of mental energy. This is also the method for "warriors" to control the transport of avatars.
With Yang Ji's current strength, he can only summon one. He needs to wait until his mental power and blood energy increase before he can continue to summon the other five ghosts.
"Da da!"
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside, which was very loud in this silent night.
"Um?"
As soon as Yang Ji thought about it, the "evil" around him instantly turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared.
boom!
Almost at the same time, the door opened and a soap official walked in hurriedly with something in his hand.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Ji frowned and said. He had already given instructions that these officials would generally not disturb him at night unless they had something to do.
"Young Master Yang, I just received a messenger from Jin'an City through government channels."
The young soap official held up the note taken off the pigeon's leggings with both hands and said respectfully.
Wu Tongsheng's first place is no small matter. The officials here have long known that this young master here is extremely powerful and Feilai's future is limitless.
"Jin'an City?"
Yang Ji blinked, feeling a little confused. After withdrawing from the Yang clan, he didn't seem to have any contact with anyone.
"sorry to bother you."
Yang Ji quickly took the note from Zaoli. The pieces of paper on the carrier pigeon were very short, with only one short sentence on them:
"The eldest son, Yang Xuanlan, returns home, be careful! Yang Meng."
"It's him!"
Yang Ji was surprised. He remembered that he had made it clear to Yang Meng, but he didn't expect that he hadn't given up yet and was still helping him.
However, compared to the fact that Yang Meng sent him a message, what shocked Yang Ji the most was the content on the letter.
"Yang Xuanlan?! He's back!!"
Yang Ji's mind was filled with turmoil and chaos. Some long-standing memories slowly came to life with these words.
The words Yang Meng once said about the eldest son Yang Xuanlan rang in his ears like thunder again.
Yang Xuanlan, the eldest son of the Yang family, is back! Yang Ji almost instinctively smelled a storm coming from inside.
Yang Ji's memory of this direct eldest son was unclear, and he had almost no contact with him. However, he always met him several times when he came in and out of the Yang Mansion.
Yang Ji's only impression was that the eldest son of the Yang family had a cold expression and rarely smiled. He said exactly what he said and never asked why. He was extremely opinionated.
The disciples of the Yang family respected him, but more of them feared him.
This eldest son of the direct line is known as the most talented person in Pingchuan County. When he was there, he outshone several other families. At the same time, almost no one could surpass his brilliance until he left Pingchuan County.
Yang Ji did not expect that he would return to Jin'an City at this time.
"The timing is so coincidental. It must have been that poisonous woman Zhao Ji who called him back and wanted to use him against me. Humph, it turned out that the old one was beaten and the younger one came out."
Thoughts went through Yang Ji's mind one after another. He slowly calmed down.
"This moment, that moment." In the past, he might have been able to let the eldest lady and her son rub him in the face, but now, having passed the imperial examination, he is a member of the imperial court. Even if Yang Xuanlan wants to deal with him, he must have
The scruples cannot come out openly.
"However, there is nothing wrong with being careful. You still have to be careful about this matter!"
Yang Ji thought to himself.
He still knew too little about the eldest son Yang Xuanlan. After eight years of absence, no one knew how he was doing now. The only thing Yang Ji could be sure of was that his martial arts skills were definitely better than his own.
"Let go of the government affairs in advance. We must speed up our efforts to improve our strength."
Yang Ji thought to himself.
After blowing out the candles, Yang Ji left the official office and walked to his new home in Pingchuan City...
…
At the same time, in the dead of night, a building in the hinterland of the Yang family that had been empty for more than eight years was spotless. For the past eight years, the eldest lady had sent servants to clean the place almost every day.
As long as there is a little bit of negligence, you will be punished with a cane. Therefore, among all the rooms of the Yang family, this room has been the most diligently cleaned, cleanest and neatest place for the past eight years.
Everyone knows that this is the room of the eldest son Yang Xuanlan. Whether he is here or not, this is the place that the eldest lady values the most.
At midnight, the candles were brightly lit and all the servants had been driven away. The eldest lady and Yang Xuanlan, mother and son, sat on either side of the sandalwood tea table with their backs against the wall.
There was no one around, so the mother and son opened their hearts.
"Child, is what you said in the letter true?"
The eldest lady grabbed Yang Xuanlan's hand and said excitedly.
"Um."
Yang Xuanlan took a sip of tea and calmly withdrew his palm from his mother's hand:
"Your letter was given to me by Princess Chaoyang. No surprises. After handling the matters here and returning to Zhou Mansion, I will become a horse attached to the county."
Yang Xuanlan's expression was stern, as if he was describing a very ordinary and normal thing. There was no joy or alienation.
The two mother and son sit together, not like the relationship between mother and son, but like peers with equal status.
The eldest lady did not feel dissatisfied. As the eldest son of the Yang family, Yang Xuanlan was different from others since he was a child. He was extremely independent and decisive. The look of a young and lonely son had never appeared in him since he was a child.
