I have an eternal eye

Shilipo is not ten miles away from the capital, but ten miles away from Qinglongdu. Caravans from several states in the southwest usually stop here to reorganize before entering the capital.

It was almost dusk now, and the sky was low.

The dense forests on the river bank are covered with snow, and on the hills in the distance, there is a large town, dotted with large and small inns.

Yu Ziqing said while pulling the boat: "Since the accident, there have been fewer and fewer caravans coming from the southwest. Most of the Shilipo inns have closed down. The court is too lazy to come to collect taxes. It is still relatively stable."

After everyone got off the boat, Tie Shouming's eldest son Tie Yucheng finally couldn't help but trembled: "Uncle Zhang, is that you?"

Zhang Biao sighed and took off the Nuo noodles.

He knew that although he had covered up, his figure could not be hidden from familiar people.

"It's indeed Zhang Captou."

Wang Xin's father also said excitedly: "I knew you were the only one in the capital who was willing to help."

"Zhang Captou, what on earth is going on?"

"What happened to Shouming and Xin'er?"

Everyone asked questions and looked excited.

They were taken into Jingzhao Mansion Prison in a daze, and they still haven't figured out what happened.

"Something happened to Shouming and Wang Xin..."

Zhang Biao did not hide anything. He asked Tie Shouming to investigate the case, asked Wang Xin for help, and unintentionally broke the emperor's alchemy and dragged it out.

"Xin'er..."

Wang Xin's mother, who had been frightened for days, wailed and fainted after hearing this.

Everyone hurriedly helped him, but their faces were ashen.

Zhang Biao said that he hadn't found anyone yet, but they couldn't guess that the two of them were in danger.

Upon seeing this, Yu Ziqing said quickly: "Everyone, let's go quickly. Let's settle down first, and then we can worry about it later."

He led everyone to the foot of the hill, lifted up the dead branches of pine and cypress piled with snow, and revealed a cave.

Zhang Biao saw it and understood.

After something happened in the capital, Yu Ziqing took his mother to seek refuge with his uncle in Shilipo. It seems that his cousin is not doing any serious business.

Everyone lit torches and walked along the cave. After about half a stick of incense, they came to the end and saw a wooden door.

Opening the wooden door, there was a large secret room filled with large and small boxes and wine jars.

"This is the underground secret room of the inn."

Yu Ziqing said: "Please stay here for the first time. I'll get some food and wait until the wind blows over before going out."

Wang Xin's father was worthy of being an old policeman. Although he was sad, he still held up his hands and said, "Thank you so much, little brother."

"It doesn't matter."

Yu Ziqing shook his head quickly, "Brother Zhang, there is no need to hide. I will take you up first and find an inn to rest."

"Thank you."

Zhang Biao nodded, picked up the big and small bags, and climbed up the wooden ladder to the tunnel under the leadership of Yu Ziqing.

The exit of the secret room was also hidden. It was in the wine cellar of the inn. As soon as he came out, he saw an old man with white hair walking towards him in a hurry.

The old man is wearing a cotton robe. Although his beard and hair are white, he has a strong build, a broad face and a lion's nose, and thick lips.

Yu Ziqing said quickly: "Brother Zhang, this is my cousin Yu Kui."

"I've met senior."

Zhang Biao took a look and knew that this person was a gangster.

Yu Kui cupped his fists and smiled heartily, "Brother, you're welcome. Thank you for taking care of me in the capital, Ziqing can stay here with peace of mind. If you want to leave the capital, tell me in advance to arrange a boat for you."

"Ziqing, take good care of people."

After saying that, he left in a hurry, unable to conceal the worry on his brows.

Yu Ziqing quickly whispered: "My cousin is an elder of the Qinglong Gang. The ferry has lost business and the Qinglong Gang is also facing disbandment. There are people making noises about splitting up the family these days."

Zhang Biao nodded slightly, thoughtfully.

It's not surprising that this happened.

The revival of spiritual energy will not only bring disasters and opportunities, but also changes in various power structures from the court to the Jianghu.

Under the great tide, from the emperors and cultivating sects to the traffickers and common people, the fate of everyone is entangled, and no one can escape.

This is troubled times.

…

As Yu Ziqing said, Shilipo is now declining day by day. In the main hall of the huge inn, there is not even a single drinking guest, and the tables and chairs are covered with a layer of dust.

Arriving at a guest room on the second floor, Yu Ziqing first brought some food, and then whispered: "Brother Zhang, please stay here peacefully while I go to find out the news."

Zhang Biao nodded, and after he left, he closed the door, lit the oil lamp, and opened the packages.

The package was full of bits and pieces.

There is the white mud-like charm left behind when the water charm disappears,

There are fragments of the clay tire of the demon ghost,

There is also a large obsidian-shaped placenta.

Although I took some risks this time, I also gained a lot. These are all trophies salvaged by the Paijiao disciples.

Zhang Biao used his spiritual eyes to identify them one by one.

The fragments of the clay body of the radium ghost are infested by Yin Qi and resentment all year round. They are the best items for nightmare suppression. They can be used to set up formations and cast spells.

Nuo Mianjiangliang's trickery and incantation is a systematic spell. It can not only confront the enemy in battle, but also cast spells on people remotely.

But preparation was a bit cumbersome.

The first is to obtain the opponent's hair and blood, and the second is to disturb the essence and spirit.

Burying fragments of the clay tire of the demon ghost in the target's house will cause nightmares again and again, and the sun god will not guard it, and will eventually be cursed to death.

The obsidian-shaped placenta, called the "radium plate", is the remnant of the death of ghosts and gods. It is far more powerful than "Yu" and "Shi". Unfortunately, it did not give birth to "Elixir".

Zhang Biao looked carefully and had an idea in his mind.

It can be hollowed out and made into a small cauldron. It is an excellent magical weapon whether it is opening an altar to cast spells or refining poison.

The broken pieces can be polished into beads to create a more powerful curse bracelet.

Of course, the biggest gain is not these.

Zhang Biao picked up several wood carvings and inspected them.

Shadow Thunder Fireball (Yellow Level 2nd Grade)

1. A low-level magic weapon from the Yanjia Sect, embedded with death jade to seal the evil spirits. The surface is engraved with the Sunda wind talisman and the bandit pattern, and the center is stuffed with gunpowder.

2. Disposable magic weapon, using tricks: ghost puppet control, gunpowder explosion to hurt people.

3. Due to the connection between the mind and the heart, after the magic weapon explodes, it will suffer the backlash of the resentment of the evil ghost...

These were all found on Zhou Ke's corpse. Although no inheritance was found, a lot of things can be figured out.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao took out his pen and ink and carefully copied the Sunda Wind Talisman and the pattern on the wooden ball.

The soul-suppressing death jade inside is probably the core, but it's better to take precautions and return to the secret room of the Taoist temple to dismantle it.

He has spiritual eyes that can distinguish information. If he can understand the method, he may be able to increase the power of his magic weapon...

Finally, he picked up the bronze tablet.

Fushou Gong Lingpai (yellow grade three)

1. Sacrificial vessels for secular gods. Made of brass, it is inscribed with the deeds of Duke Fu and Shougang during his lifetime. It is stuffed into a clay body using the secret method of "pretending to be dirty", absorbing the power of incense and giving birth to secular gods.

2. This sacrificial vessel has been infected by the resentment of the dead souls all year round. It can be washed and restored by the divine power of incense, or it can continue to be infected by the curse and turn into an ominous object.

3. Good and evil come from the heart, and fortune and misfortune are determined by oneself...

It is indeed a sacrificial vessel!

The so-called sacrificial weapon is the core of secular gods or magical weapons, such as the magic sword of the Fire Sect.

He studied the lineage of Fang Xiangzong and knew that there are many kinds of secular gods. No matter demons, ghosts, innate spirits and ancestral spirits, they are all inseparable from sacrificial vessels.

There are two types of sacrificial vessels. One is the core, which is used to absorb the divine power of incense. Just like this bronze medal in your hand, it is usually stuffed into the statue to contain the secrets of viscera.

There must be something like this in the statue of Medicine Buddha in Chongsheng Temple. Perhaps the craftsmen mistakenly followed the ancient custom of pretending to be dirty, and then the secular god was born.

Other temples and Taoist temples are just made of clay and naturally cannot gather the power of incense.

The other type is magical weapons, such as the sacred swords of the Fire God Sect, yellow sand, torches and other magical weapons, which are usually used to fight and perform secular and divine magic.

There are two refining methods for this bronze medal.

One is to strengthen the curse and make it into an ominous thing like the red rope of the God of Joy, which can be used for fighting.

The second is to wash it with the divine power of incense and restore it to its original appearance.

Zhang Biao did not hesitate and planned to use the second method.

There are four kinds of divine arts in the Nuo Mian Wei Sui lineage, among which there is the art of controlling gods, which requires the refinement of sacrificial vessels and is used to control secular gods and become slaves.

The spells he used for fighting were sufficient, but the magic of controlling gods was obviously more attractive.

After checking, Zhang Biao packed various items into categories.

There are many inconveniences here, and the refining can only be carried out after returning to the secret room of the Taoist temple in the capital.

In addition, there is a gain.

Those Fengmen disciples revealed to him the location of the Daye Emperor's Mausoleum and described the strange things in it.

Zhou Ke changed the plan without authorization, firstly to plot against him, and secondly to go to the imperial mausoleum.

Others didn't understand, but Zhang Biao knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it.

Why is the imperial mausoleum haunted? There are clearly ancient artifacts there, and there are more than one of them. If they can't fight each other, there is obviously a stronger existential constraint.

"Spirit" is a terrible thing for mortals, but for monks, it is a treasure, not to mention having a nest.

It's just that the place is quite far away, deep in the mountains of Huaizhou, and traveling there takes a long time.

According to Su Wanniang's information, Taizhou, where Yujing City is located, is controlled by Daliang. There are no sects in Huaizhou and Luzhou, which are separated by each other. They have become buffer places, but the sects have not stopped infiltrating.

Among them, Cangzhou, which is directly adjacent to Luzhou, is where the Yanjia Sect is located. Many wealthy gentry in Luzhou have secretly sent their children to the Yanjia Sect to practice.

In Bozhou, near Huaizhou, the mysterious Xuandu Temple appeared there, so there have been many Xuandu Temple Taoist activities in Huaizhou.

The Daye Emperor's Mausoleum and Cui Laodao are both in Huaizhou. Zhang Biao has made a plan in his mind to use the effect of Dragon Blood Ginseng to cultivate to the body-building realm as soon as possible, and go to Huaizhou before the great fog disaster comes...

Before I knew it, the night was already dark.

Boom, boom, boom!

There was a knock on the door, and Zhang Biao opened the door. It was Yu Ziqing who was covered in wind and snow.

After he walked in and sat down, he took a few sips of hot tea and then shook his head and said, "Brother Zhang, something happened in the capital."

"The Huo Luo Sect killed the corpse ghost at the altar at noon. I don't know whether it was successful, but there was a lot of movement."

"I heard that there was thunder in the day, the earth dragon turned over, and there was a dark wind and black fog in the city, and many zombies emerged and attacked people."

"Although the people near Fenglefang have relocated, many zombies have escaped and lurked. Now the people in Yujing City are panicked. The imperial court has mobilized tens of thousands of border troops to enter the capital. No one can care about the prisoner robbery..."

When Zhang Biao heard this, he immediately understood.

It's the evil guy who's running out!
