Chapter 21: No Good Banquet, Escape by Fraud

Dark night, sharp wind, whispering ghosts.

However, the Dahuai Town, which should have been eerie, became more popular because of the bright light flashing from time to time in a corner of the sky.

However, the light was too dim and was soon swallowed by the night. Most of Dahuai Town was shrouded in darkness, especially in the central area of ​​Dahuai Town. It seemed that there was a peerless evil ghost hidden, silent and invisible but showing its existence at all times, forcing countless ghosts to go out to find food.

Wu Yi, who made the peaceful night of Dahuai Town a little ripple, was still fighting with endless evil ghosts at this time.

The Yin Qi was constantly tempering his body. The cold Yin Qi entered his body, making his body tight and stiff, greatly improving his body's ability to resist blows, while also slowing down the speed of blood temperature rise, and significantly improving his endurance.

But these are changes visible to the naked eye. What made Wu Yi most happy was the simplification of the nine movements. Perhaps it should not be called nine movements now. The perfect combination of shoulder strength and arm strength, the nine movements were simplified to eight movements.

If one day the nine movements are simplified into one movement, wouldn't it be possible to go all out in one move? Who can match it?

Wu Yi found that after the combination of arm strength and shoulder strength, the blood and qi would always encounter blockages when passing through the acupoints such as Jianjing, Jugu, and Jianyu at the junction of the shoulder and arm. Naturally, if you don't pay attention or the battle is not at a critical moment, you won't find it, but this small blockage has actually divided the shoulder and arm into two parts.

Now that the acupoints are connected, the blood and qi can flow smoothly, and the role played is not simply reflected by one plus one.

At this moment, Wu Yi seemed to understand why the foundation is called opening the meridians. In fact, the process of refining qi is constantly expanding and extending the meridians, making it easier for spiritual energy to enter and exit. If the spiritual energy is sufficient, the acupoints all over the body can be broken, so that the meridians are connected as one, which means that the foundation is successfully built.

But unlike the qidao, which is a one-shot success, the strength seems to focus more on the grinding kung fu, through continuous training of all parts of the body, opening the acupoints little by little.

Wu Yi said to himself: "So as long as I combine these nine movements into one, my strength cultivation will enter the foundation building stage."

"No wonder the black beetle did not give me the strength method before, but the growth experience of the powerful. These nine movements are enough to let me directly reach the foundation building stage. Why should I seek other things?"

After understanding this, Wu Yi immediately raised his legs and punched, and punched more vigorously, but it was extremely lucky to be able to simplify one movement in one night, so when the evil spirits gradually retreated at dawn, Wu Yi did not make any greater progress.

Due to the dark clouds in the sky in Dahuai Town, it takes one hour in the evening for dawn and one hour in the morning for dusk. In midsummer, it can be said that day and night are reversed, but after living here for a few days, Wu Yi has adapted to it and got used to it.

After a night of training, Wu Yi not only did not feel tired, but was full of energy and vigor. He could not help but sigh: "If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening. The ancients did not deceive me."

The body absorbed an unknown amount of Yin Qi, and the stomach was full, without a trace of hunger. This is the day of eating clouds and dew. Some people feel very hard, while others enjoy it. They don't know that the food and body are not as good as others.

It's just that the body absorbs only a small part, and more is stored by the Yin Talisman.

Draw out all the Yin Qi, but I didn't encounter any ghosts at the level of spirit ghosts last night, which is a pity, but the huge amount of evil ghost-level Yin Qi still makes up for this defect.

The moment the Yin Qi appeared, the temperature dropped sharply, but Wu Yi pinched the Qi Gathering Technique, and now Wu Yi's Qi Gathering speed is getting faster and faster, which is definitely an improvement, but it is a little inconspicuous compared to the progress of strength.

As the spell was in progress, Yin Qi gathered around him, just like a layer of gray armor for Wu Yi, but the armor was too heavy and too cold, even Wu Yi's body, which had been trained by Yin Qi, was chilled and goose bumps appeared on his skin.

After separating 90% of the Yin Qi, Wu Yi punched into the bead expressionlessly, looking very free and easy, but the real thoughts in his heart were probably only known by Wu Yi himself.

The remaining 10% of Yin Qi was also useful to Wu Yi, used to establish a connection with the demon, which was different from the life and death covenant in his heart.

The life and death covenant was a means for the owner to kill the ghost pet if he found that the ghost pet was about to or had exceeded his control. This method hurt others and himself, and would never be used unless it was an emergency.

Through the life and death covenant, the owner could know the life and death of the ghost pet, but could not communicate with the ghost pet normally, so a new connection needed to be established.

Silently reciting the formula recorded in "Fengdu Daolu", a faint smoke floated out of the Baihui acupoint on Wu Yi's head. This was actually a wisp of Wu Yi's soul, but Wu Yi's soul was weak now, unable to clearly appear in the Yang world, and it looked hazy.

Under the effect of the formula, this wisp of soul split into two faint invisible threads, one end wrapped around Wu Yi and the other around the demon, and then the thread completely disappeared. They communicated with each other completely by attracting each other with the soul breath. The advantage is that it is simple and convenient, and can be reached with a thought. It is also very safe, and there is no need to worry about others intercepting such as condensing qi to transmit sound. The inconvenience is that communication requires soul power. The farther the distance, the more soul power is consumed. This is understandable. Although there are many advantages, there are many disadvantages.

Of course, the most important benefit of this connection is that it can transmit soul power and fight with the strength of the two. However, neither Wu Yi nor the demon has the ability to transmit soul power at this time. The biggest possibility is that the soul power has not been transmitted and it has dissipated in the middle.

The moment the contact was completed, Wu Yi woke up and felt the state of Zhen on the other side. It is worth mentioning that this contact is one-way, which means that Wu Yi can contact Zhen at any time, but Zhen needs to go through Wu Yi first. In addition, Wu Yi can always pay attention to the dynamics of Yan, but Yan cannot, so he mentioned before that this is an unequal relationship.

"This connection seems to be the content of the Dharma." Feeling the wonderful connection, Wu Yi suddenly realized.

"So I'm practicing three paths at once." Wu Yi's heart was filled with ups and downs. It's not that there are any disadvantages in practicing three paths at the same time. At most, it's just that he's distracted by many things and may not be able to specialize in one.

But Wu Yi found that he seemed to be led by the black beetle and acted completely according to its arrangements. Wu Yi could not tolerate this.

Glancing at the bead seemingly unintentionally, Wu Yi felt fearful in his heart, knowing that he was at a disadvantage in the new round of the game and had to find an opportunity to reverse the situation.

Wu Yi was in a state of cultivation for the next two days without resting for a moment. Monks can practice fasting after reaching a certain level. Although Wu Yi did not completely fast, it would not be a big deal if he did not eat for a day or two.

At the time he had agreed upon before, Wu Yi set up a good show, with horses and chariots, and strong men accompanying him, and headed for the place where the two comrades were.

The beautiful trees are lush and lush, Qihuayao grass can be seen everywhere, and a clear stream gurgling from the forest. However, in such a wonderful place, it is extremely cold and quiet, and all living creatures have been devoured by the raging ghosts.

"These two comrades have chosen a good place." Wu Yi arrived at the location and praised, but his tone was a bit teasing.

Wu Yi had been here for such a long time. How could he not have discovered it? The reason why he did not come to occupy it was because it was a place full of forests and trees. It was a place where ghosts lived. Ghosts appeared everywhere at night. How could he have the time to deal with them? What's more, Needless to say, there was a large group of mortals in Wu Yi's cabin. Putting them in an extremely dangerous place, Wu Yi couldn't do it, so he finally chose a flat and open place to station.

But what Wu Yi doesn't know is that the reason why Xu Zhisheng and Xu Qian chose this place is because it is a place to welcome the real person. If the real person's arrival is too shabby, he will not be happy. Therefore, although ghosts are infested here, it is dangerous. A lot, but nothing compared to making a good impression in front of a real person.

The horses neighed, the wheels rolled, and the strong men called the door. It was impossible for the people inside to miss it.

The first were five warriors and five servants lined up in two rows, standing at the door, with resolute and cold expressions on their faces, giving rise to a sense of chill. When Wu Yi saw it, their auras were solid and motionless as a mountain. It was clear that all of them were trained. A strong man at the peak of his energy.

These two comrades have a lot of background. Wu Yi's expression did not change, but he secretly looked at the few warriors and servants, thinking about how to escape under their siege. Today's visit will determine the relationship between the two parties. If they disagree, they will inevitably be Imprisonment is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

What broke the chilling feeling was a burst of hearty laughter. Wu Yi looked and saw that the real owner had arrived.

Walking in front was a handsome young man in his twenties with a beautiful tree facing the wind. He was dressed in bright clothes and angry with his horse, with a sword hanging from his waist and purple gold shoes on his feet. His eyes were full of energy.

Next to the young man is a girl wearing a moonlight fairy dress. She has picturesque features and flying black hair, but her face is cold, as if she is taciturn and has difficulty speaking.

Seeing the gorgeous clothes and elegant temperament of the two people, it was obvious at a glance that they must have been born in a family of Zhongmingdingdingshi. They were extremely wealthy and worthy of being children of the capital. But unlike Wu Yi, a declining person who acted with restraint, they There is an unconcealable arrogance between his eyebrows.

"Junior Brother Wu Yi, you are finally here. Brother Yu has been waiting on the couch for a long time." Xu Zhisheng said with a hearty laugh. It must be said that these people from big families are very sophisticated in dealing with others, and their tone is very appropriate. They will not let others down. People feel uncomfortable when they hear it.

Xu Qianyan on one side nodded in agreement.

"Senior Brother Xu, thank you." Wu Yi saluted.

Xu Zhisheng made an invitation gesture, but Wu Yi did not refuse and followed Xu Zhisheng into the small courtyard they built. The ground was paved with bluestone and running water flowed around the courtyard. Even if it was just a temporary residence for them, it was also decorated. Extremely elegant.

At first, the conversation between Wu Yi and Xu Zhisheng was about cultivation matters and did not involve the affairs of Dahuai Town at all. Wu Yi was not in a hurry. He had already seen it. Both of them were at the peak of the Four Transformations, full of spiritual energy. , circulating around Wu Yi, there are only advantages and no disadvantages in talking to such people.

In the end, Xu Qianyan couldn't wait any longer and signaled Xu Zhisheng with her eyes several times. However, Xu Zhisheng seemed to be really interested in talking to Wu Yi the first few times and ignored Xu Qianyan's reminder. In the end, Wu Yi saw Xu Qianyan's hint, but he also Don't tell them, wait for them to say it themselves.

Xu Qianyan became impatient when she saw that he would not say anything anymore. Xu Zhisheng stopped waiting and said to Wu Yi solemnly: "Junior brother, what did Guanzhong say before you came to Dahuai Town?"

Seeing Xu Zhisheng speaking in this tone, Wu Yi responded with a confused look on his face: "To be honest, senior brother, the Dahuai Town Temple has sent disciples to destroy ghosts many times, but most of them were not destroyed, and many ghosts reappeared later. Junior brother came here just to suppress the arrogance of ghosts. What's wrong, but there are changes in Dahuai Town? "

Xu Zhisheng and Xu Qianyan met their eyes and nodded imperceptibly. Xu Qianyan answered calmly: "According to the latest news, there may be a ghost lingering in Dahuai Town that is about to be promoted to the Ghost King."

The Ghost King is equivalent to the golden elixir stage among monks, and Wang Chuchen is also about to become a figure at this level.

Xu Qianyan had not spoken a word before, but once she spoke, people felt convinced.

Although he had long guessed that there were high-level ghosts in Dahuai Town, Wu Yi was still shocked by the fact that he was about to become a ghost king. This expression was real.

Seeing Wu Yi's sudden change in expression, Xu and Xu smiled lightly. The plan was half successful, but Wu Yi's subsequent words made their faces suddenly solemn.

"What should I do? I heard that a professor and deacon will come down the mountain to deal with the matter of Dahuai Town soon, and asked me to receive him here. But what if the ghost is rampant now?"

A professor and deacon are coming. Suddenly hearing such news, Xu Zhisheng asked: "Junior brother, is the news true?"

"Yes, the temple just issued a decree not long ago about this matter, asking me to receive it well." Suddenly Wu Yi seemed to think of something, grabbed Xu Zhisheng's sleeve and asked: "Senior brother, why don't you receive the people from the temple for me."

Seeing Wu Yi's timid attitude, Xu Zhisheng's eyes flashed with disdain, and he declined: "After all, it is a person from the temple of junior brother. Senior brother is one level lower, I am afraid that I will neglect the master. Junior brother should bear more, and the evil ghost will not become a ghost king so soon."

After learning that a foundation-building cultivator would arrive, Wu Yi had become dispensable, and Xu Zhisheng no longer talked to Wu Yi, and seemed much colder.

Wu Yi left in fear after many "hard requests" to no avail.

Watching Wu Yi's departing back, Xu Qianyan said with disdain: "If I had known he was such a person, why would I have wasted so much time and energy? I would have just driven him away as I said."

Xu Zhisheng did not respond, his face calm, and said: "What should we do now?"

Xu Qianyan's face was solemn, and she was silent for a long time.
