For Locke and Hua Zhenxing, it was both unexpected and reasonable to tinker with paper pigeons and spiritual magpies respectively. However, they still need to systematically practice the methods of weapon control and weapon refining, as magicians and Taoists.
They belong to different systems in this regard.
It's not surprising that they can break through the demonic realm. Although Locke lost his mentor Mr. Dawson long ago, he had already reached the peak level of a trainee magician and was about to become an official magician.
Mr. Dawson has introduced him to the so-called "temptation of the devil" in detail, explaining its essence and how to deal with it. As long as people with a normal mental state have cultivated to the corresponding level and are prepared in advance, it is not difficult to pass the test.
The monks call it the "Devil Realm Tribulation", which will eliminate or screen out those monks with abnormal mental state. Are there such people? Of course there are, and there have been many in the past.
After learning the secret method and mastering the power of spiritual consciousness, many people's mentality will change, and even their self-perception will become abnormal. In the most popular terms, it means that they have mental problems due to cultivation, and such people will not be able to pass this level.
The calamity of the devil is nothing to Hua Zhenxing and Locke, but it may be very dangerous to Manman.
Manman did not have a mentor. The old patriarch Zaxin taught her the secret method passed down by the Poseidon clan based on the stories of the previous priests. Zaxin himself did not master it, but Manman got started, but she was extremely "partial".
Just focus on controlling water.
Fortunately, she was able to avoid a series of possible problems. However, although the previous priests had only a few words to describe how to face the devil, after Zaxin's narration, the description was not thorough and specific enough.
Manman's mental state is fine, but she doesn't know exactly how to deal with it. Now she meets Xiaohua, which is also her chance and blessing.
After the trip to Brussels, the Forgan Foundation reorganized its board of directors, and Lord Rothchild became the executive director. The team of Huanxiang Industrial finally returned to Fiso Port. This trip took a long time.
What is a little surprising is that Lian Na also followed Locke back.
Locke had already told her about his experiences over the years, focusing on the ten-year decline and the recent rebirth for most of the past six months. Before leaving, he gave her her own choice. She could stay in Brussels or come to Port Daofeso together.
After returning to Fiso Port, Dong Zegang and Cui Wanhe were quarantined and required to undergo double testing of nucleic acid and serum antibodies. Is this the latest regulation of the Kelin District Government? Everyone coming from the epidemic area must abide by it.
The chaos in this world has also caused great psychological pressure on the new alliance, and local security needs to be guaranteed.
However, the decree in the Kelin District cannot cover the entire Port of Feso, so Locke suggested that Port Feso should be captured as soon as possible and a unified decree be issued. Fortunately, there have been no outsiders coming recently. Even if there are in the future, the situation will be the same as in the new alliance.
Under control.
Why don't Yang Tehong, Tang Senzhi, Hua Zhenxing...including Lian Na need to be quarantined? This is not a privilege, because Old Yang has spoken out? These people are eligible to obtain the second-level certificate, the small refining form is complete? It is not ordinary.
Disease.
What kind of second-level certificate, what kind of minor refining perfection? It sounds like a heavenly book, but it actually means having the second-level cultivation level.
Currently, the most feasible way to achieve the second level of cultivation is to practice Yangyuan Technique and pass the second-level examination. This is what Old Man Yang means by the second-level certificate.
This matter is also a kind of foreshadowing. Old Yang knew what he wanted to do without Hua Zhenxing opening his mouth. Hua Zhenxing has already planned to promote Yangyuan Technique within Huanxiang Industrial, and the next step will be to promote it within the new alliance.
After returning to Port Fiso? Locke finally did a very important thing, which was to take out the Book of Inheritance that Mr. Dawson had given him back then from the bank safe.
Maybe it's because of his experience? Locke has a gentle personality and a thoughtful mind. He is also very calm. Hua Zhenxing felt that he really lacked understanding of Locke at the beginning. Now the more he looks at him, the more he feels that he is not simple.
The New Alliance dealt with the Golden Gang so smoothly that Hua Zhenxing and others underestimated Locke. Looking back now, the boss behind the Golden Gang is actually not that easy to deal with.
The victory of the new alliance was completely crushed in terms of strength and general trend, and it happened that several leaders of the Golden Gang rebelled. In fact, Hua Zhenxing was a little reckless and a little arrogant in his work? Later, he was beaten up by several elders.
Compared with Locke, Hua Zhenxing often looks like a rambunctious naughty kid. This is inevitable. Who said this kid has a strong backer? He also thinks he is resourceful.
Locke has nothing to do, he is just a bitter boy. The Dawson family that protected him was destroyed ten years ago. Although he is the nominal owner of the Fulgrim Foundation, this huge group of monks has been hunting him down...
Therefore, before going to Brussels to fully understand the situation of the Fulgen Foundation and fully control it, Locke did not even touch the book of inheritance. If it were Hua Zhenxing, he would have been unable to bear it.
Locke is very insidious. This is the unanimous feeling of everyone. The more honest and courteous he looks, the more he will feel this way after truly getting to know this person. Of course, if he is not insidious, he is not normal. Controlling the Golden Gang behind the scenes for ten years is not just playing tricks.
Home.
But Locke is not annoying, especially since he has undergone great changes in the past six months. His temperament is still very feminine, but no longer gloomy, and his thoughts are still very thoughtful, but he is not as depressed as before.
Locke, Lian Na, Hua Zhenxing, and Manman were sitting in a secret room, surrounding a small round table. On the table was the book of inheritance with a black cover and gold stripes.
Locke smiled bitterly and said: "After asking Mr. Mo for advice, I realized that this book really cannot be opened, and it does not require that kind of physical opening. It is actually opened in the most vulgar way that everyone can think of."
In the center of the golden branch pattern, there is a blooming flower. The bas-relief-shaped stamen has a sharp tip that will be pierced if you press hard with your fingers... This is how Mo Shangtong told him to "open" the book of inheritance.
It was actually a blood test, which made several people dumbfounded. Of course, there are other ways to open this book of inheritance, such as using the soul brand, but that requires a great magician who has received the inheritance. Even Locke's mentor Mr. Dawson
Neither can be done.
Locke has neither received inheritance nor is he a great magician, so this method is out of the question. Mo Shangtong himself can forcefully open it for them, but in that case the book will be useless and become a one-time consumable item.
Fortunately, the ancestors of the Locke family also considered various situations and left the last method, which is that their direct male heirs became official magicians. They could prick their fingers directly on the stamens and then infuse mana to open them.
Locke carefully pressed the thumb of his right hand on the flower stamen. The wound was not deep, and the small spikes were only two millimeters long. The blood seeped out and dyed the flower core red. Four pairs of eyes were watching, and the atmosphere was inexplicably weird.
with tension.
Such a secret room, such a mysterious book, this environment has a hint, as if a devil or monster will be released...
The secret room is under the Jindian Building. When the Jindian Building was first built, Locke built this secret room in the name of building a vault, but the actual vault was in another location. He built it with his own hands and no one knew about it.
.
The secret room, where he usually meditates, has a large space, does not feel cramped, and the air is fresh. It is cleverly designed, but there are no valuables stored there.
Originally, only Locke himself was qualified to open and consult the Fulgen family's inheritance book, but now he doesn't care about these rules. Although it is impossible to disclose it to the outside world, he doesn't mind Lian Na's presence, and even more so for Hua Zhenxing and Manman.
He specially invited me here.
The finger was pricked, but the book didn't respond. Maybe we need to wait a little longer. Perhaps in order to ease the tense atmosphere, Hua Zhenxing asked: "What is the principle of this?"
Locke thought: "The principle is actually very simple, almost the same as genetic testing. Judging from the requirements, it should be to detect paternal chromosomes. Since modern technology already has this detection technology, it is entirely possible for magical means to do similar things.
."
Manman wondered: "But why is there no response? Is there something wrong with the chromosome you are talking about?"
The atmosphere suddenly froze. This was so embarrassing! The other three people all thought of a possibility. Could it be that Locke was not a direct descendant of the creator of this book of inheritance?
Perhaps in the history of family inheritance, the blood relationship has undergone some changes that everyone can think of. The problem does not necessarily lie with Locke's mother, but may also appear with his grandmother. For example, which generation of little Fulgan is not the old one?
Fulgrim's biological son...
Hua Zhenxing coughed and said, "Old Mo said, we still need to infuse mana."
Locke frowned and said: "There is no spiritual fluctuation at all, how can I infuse it?"
Lian Na thought of something and reminded: "Locke, blood sacrifice magic!"
Locke: "What kind of blood sacrifice magic? I don't know how to do it!"
Listening to Lina's tone, this is not a rare method. Many magicians should know it. At least it is inherited in Fulgen Monks. But Locke does not know it. This is a magic that can only be learned by formal magicians.
, the instructor didn’t have time to teach him.
Lian Na pointed at the core of the flower and silently muttered something, and the blood on it started to burn.
In fact, it is not burning, there is no temperature at all, but it is in a state of atomization, shaped like a floating flame, and then completely absorbed by the golden lines.
Then the golden lines on the entire book began to glow, and everyone had the illusion that the book had been opened... In fact, the book was not opened, but a lot of information was imprinted into everyone's souls with the light.
Locke suddenly said: "Okay, Lina!"
Hua Zhenxing also reminded him: "Manman, taking in the soul is like encountering a demonic realm."
Manman has not yet encountered the Demonic Realm, but Hua Zhenxing has explained the Demonic Realm to her in detail in the past two days, hoping that she will be ready in the near future, so Manman understood it as soon as he opened his mouth.
