Hidden Corners

Li Chengyi looked at the stone steps leading into the government office, thoughtfully.

This is very similar to the Heavenly Eye system of Yi Kingdom.

"What about the officials on duty at the Yamen? Don't they come here too?" he asked again.

"Master Yin Yue is too powerful. As the most powerful general in charge of the city, although this is the government office in name, in fact everyone goes to Quling Castle not far away. This lord should also be the one who was Did you get transferred here?" The boss had amazing eyesight and guessed with a smile.

"The boss has good eyesight." Li Chengyi nodded.

"I'll give you a piece of advice, don't go to the Zhengfu Yamen if you have nothing to do. That place is very closed to evil. Over the years, many drunkards have broken in without believing in evil, but they all went crazy and were thrown out." The boss said in a low voice.

"Thank you for reminding me. Please tell me the location of Naquling Castle, boss." Li Chengyi gave a big coin again.

"It's easy to talk about." The boss accepted the money and said with a smile.

After eating the red shrimp noodles, Li Chengyi quickly turned left and walked away from the government office. After wandering a few streets, he soon came to a much normal government office with red tiles and black walls.

This time the style is much more normal.

There are officers and soldiers guarding the door, and there is also a plaque of Quling Mansion.

People and sedan chairs kept coming and going from the side door.

Li Chengyi showed his token and was led to a courtyard inside.

The plaque of the Shenwu Division hangs on the gate of the courtyard, with red characters on a black background and dancing dragons and phoenixes. You may not be able to recognize it unless you look carefully.

The owner of the palace was a rough and strong man named Deng Yandong. He readily gave Li Chengyi a transfer order and placed him in the third battalion as battalion deputy instead of the original sixth battalion.

According to him, the gap at the Sixth Battalion was full, and you arrived a step too late. Now only the Third Battalion has a place. But it seems that the fat vacancies in the Sixth Battalion are basically bait, and they hook one after another~

Li Chengyi didn't care, since he didn't rely on his position to do anything anyway.

But in his opinion, the Shenwu Division here seems to be much more relaxed than in Cangshi County. Even the master of the palace, Deng Yandong, had a dancing girl in his arms when he received him, and there were fine wines and delicacies on the table. , a scene of wealth and enjoyment.

In Cangshi County, the county chief and deputy county chief often lead everyone to practice and compete.

But here.

In the huge courtyard, which is comparable to a football field, there is not a single person practicing martial arts.

Li Chengyi took the transfer order and when passing by the yard, he saw thin spider webs on the weapons and armor racks placed in the corner. The sweatbands were moldy and hardened on the handles of some of the weapons.

It had obviously been untouched for quite some time.

Moreover, there are so few people in such a large territory in Shenwu Division.

The brother department, the Blood Guard Department, is across from each other. As a result, there are two team members guarding the gate here, but there is no gatekeeper on the other side.

"Maybe it took too long to make peace." Li Chengyi shook his head in his heart.

This is true even for the armed forces. It is obvious that this place has become corrupt to a certain extent.

Reporting to the small courtyard of the Third Battalion, there were only two gray-haired old men playing chess in the entire courtyard. One old man stood up for a while, went through the induction process for him, and then waved his hand to indicate that he could leave.

"No, I didn't even see the battalion. Where are the other teams in the camp?" Li Chengyi couldn't help but ask.

"Ying is drinking wine outside. He usually only comes once at the end of the month. You can see him when you come back then." The old man on the left wearing a white robe with gold trim and fish pattern waved lazily.

"Huajiu? But isn't the commander of the third battalion a woman?" Li Chengyi was stunned.

"It's a woman. She's looking for a man. It's normal." The old man didn't look back, he touched his chin and continued to think about the chess game.

"Young man, are you from the country?" The other old man in gray robe opposite had a fairy-like demeanor. He raised his head and looked at Li Chengyi with a smile.

"Well, yes, I dare to ask the elder, why does this place feel so strange?" Li Chengyi saw that his attitude was very good, so he immediately saluted him and then asked aloud.

"Weird? Our Quling Mansion enjoys peace and prosperity with singing and dancing, and is protected from all evil. This is not strange, but you are just not used to it yet. When you stay here for a long time, you will understand how good and happy this place is." The old man laughed. road.

"Isn't it? We capture tens of thousands of foreign slaves from Yehai alone every year. These are all good-looking and well-built goods. After being trained here, they are sent to all parts of the country and even exported to other countries. Bring massive resources and wealth. Then use this as a foundation to attract a large number of wealthy merchants to settle down. Resources, secrets, treasures, secrets, and countless good goods are exchanged and traded here. Is it possible to be uncomfortable living here?" The old man in the gold-edged fish pattern robe asked.

"Slave? Is there a slave trade here?" Li Chengyi was stunned.

"This place is adjacent to the Night Sea, and slave-catching troops enter the sea every day to capture people. Any ethnic group with some characteristics, from the sea on the island, or even flying in the sky, can be brought back to you. Fu Jun's slave-catching army has its disciples The four Yin gods are sitting here, and no one can stop their slaughter." The old man in white robe said leisurely.

"Four Yin Gods...?" Li Chengyi felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. It was obvious that these four and the mysterious Lord Yin Yue were the strongest and most powerful warriors in Quling Mansion.

"I dare to ask the elder, are the four great Yin gods all blood-yuan strongmen who have fused the true seal?" He pondered the words and asked tentatively.

"Of course, being able to achieve the position of Yin God means that they must be able to stand out among Fujun's disciples by integrating the true seal." The old man in white robe said with some deep meaning. He looked at Li Chengyi thoughtfully.

This new kid went straight to the true seal fusion with just a few words. Obviously, only masters at this level can make him take notice and fear him. This is a manifestation of human instinct.

The first thing you ask about is what you care about the most.

Li Chengyi didn't mean to hide it. He came here with the reputation of being a Zhenqi martial arts genius, so it's normal for him to be arrogant.

"Young man, don't be too ambitious. Even if the Zhenqi warriors of our Shenwu Division are integrated with the real seal, like the three palace masters and deputy palace masters, they are far from the opponents of those bloodline masters. This rabbit wears a suit of armor, and wears the same armor as a liger. You should also understand how big the difference is when you put on armor, and the foundation is too different." The old man in white robe advised.

"Thank you, elder, for your advice. This junior will remember it." Li Chengyi bowed his hands seriously.

This place really deserves to be a capital city. There are four blood warriors who have condensed the true seal. There are actually three people from the Shenwu Division who have fused the true seal. Obviously, they are not inferior true seal fusions. Just like this, in In front of me, the old man said that he could never defeat the Four Yin Gods. One can imagine what level the more powerful Fu Jun was.

'It seems that this place can no longer be as unscrupulous as before, and it needs to be covered up.'

After bidding farewell to the two old men, Li Chengyi went straight to the arsenal here.

As the deputy of the third battalion, he is considered to be a middle-level member of the Shenwu Division, and he is also qualified to access the public secrets in the arsenal for free.

The arsenal here is located close to the Shenwusi courtyard. It is a three-story wooden attic with a separate courtyard.

There was no one at the door, and there was a thick layer of white dust on the gray stone floor. It was obvious that no one had been there for a long time.

Li Chengyi pushed the door open and walked step by step to the door of the attic. Because he was worried about the mechanism or something, he did not cross the flash directly, but pushed the door open and walked in honestly.

The layout inside the gate is the same as that in Cangshi County, with built-in grids on all three walls.

It's just that most of the grids here are full and contain secret books, while most of the grids in Cangshi County are empty.

Standing at the door, waving his hand to knock off a wisp of cobwebs floating down, Li Chengyi glanced around and quickly locked onto the black-level martial arts books in the grid on the right wall.

The black-level martial arts is next to several silver-level martial arts books with silver marks. At a glance, there are more than ten books.

‘You really came to the right place! ’ Li Chengyi took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and quickly approached.

Stretching out his hand, he took down a black-level secret book first.

"Qing Xin Suo Jade Gong".

After flipping through it, I found that the fusion true seal part has not been deleted. The remaining copy of the secret book is mainly the supporting secret cultivation medicine part.

Without the secret medicine, it is impossible to get started with this technique.

But what Li Chengyi needed was the theoretical part of integrating the true seal.

As I continued to read, it became extremely clear how to integrate the true seal.

The principle is simple.

Since before refining the true energy, I imagined myself into a form that can attract the spirit of the true seal, thereby absorbing the marrow of the true seal.

So integrating the true seal is to use external means to completely transform one's body and mind into a form that can better attract the spirit of the true seal.

This attracts the true body of the true seal spirit to enter, and finally completes the fusion step.

Therefore, this involves a step of human body modification.

It is mentioned in the cheat book that the main power difference between different martial arts above black level lies in the power of the true seal itself, and the degree of compatibility between the martial arts and the spirit of the true seal after transforming itself.

First, the true seal itself is strong or weak, which is easy to understand.

The second one is mainly to see how compatible everyone is with the spirit of the true seal after transforming themselves.

The higher the degree of compatibility, the more true seal spirits are fused, and the stronger the power. The one that can be fused to 100% is naturally the strongest.

But generally black-level martial arts are only 30 to 50 percent at most.

The silver level is 60% to 70%, and the strongest top gold pattern level is 80% to 90%.

That's the difference.

The secret book in Li Chengyi's hand is a black-level superior martial arts that can reach 50%.

He turned to the back, and it was densely packed with steps on how to transform himself and use mental hypnosis to transform himself into a monster that resembles a human but not a human, thereby attracting the spirit of the true seal to fuse.

He frowned.

Picked up another secret book again.

"Lin Guang Tiger Shark Technique" is the same in this book. Because the target's true seal spirit looks like a tiger shark, you need to transform yourself into a flesh and blood monster with the shape of a tiger shark. Although it is only a temporary transformation, you can still restore your body. state.

However, Li Chengyi felt an indescribable feeling of boredom in his heart when he looked at the various bloody cuttings, transplants, and primitive forced organ transfer operations.

'So original.'

'No wonder the ancestors of the Wang family couldn't figure out how to fuse the true seal alone. This method is simply not something that ordinary people can figure out on their own. ’

Li Chengyi read them one by one, and they all followed the same steps.

First, through the induction of true energy, you can figure out the general shape of the spirit of the true seal, and then transform your body and mind to keep yourself close to the other party, thereby attracting it to come and merge with you.

Finally, it is completely integrated into the body.

The spirit of the true seal itself has no sanity, and after fusion, it will naturally be dominated by humans.

This is the fundamental principle of the so-called Zhenyin Martial Arts.

Different martial arts are nothing more than different levels of adaptability to self-transformation.

The same true seal can only be fused with one kind of martial arts. Once it is overtaken by other martial arts practitioners, the latecomers will have to wait for the opponent to die before they can continue to fuse the spirit of this true seal.

This perverted system also leads to the situation where those who come first are always strong and those who are late are always weak.

Even in the end, the souls of the true seal have completely lost their slots and have been robbed, and the last new martial artist will be reduced to the point where they cannot be integrated.

This formed a complete separation and solidification between the real seal class and the ordinary warrior class.
