I have an eternal eye

It's foggy, dark and cold.

The sky in the spiritual world is very strange, as if there is always a thick layer of lead clouds, which is both empty and depressing.

The surrounding scene is even weirder.

Those dilapidated shops are growing mold and decay at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Maybe after turning around, the scene has changed drastically.

In this case, Zhang Biao naturally did not dare to leave too far, so he searched carefully in the surrounding alleys.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a glimmer of light under the decaying wall in front.

Zhang Biao felt happy and stepped forward quickly.

It was a strange flower that grew out of the sludge of flesh and blood, similar to a morning glory, and was wrapped in blue flames.

The eyes of spiritual vision turned far away, and information came flooding in:

Underworld Spark (Yellow Grade 1)

1. Dark fire thins the sky, and all thoughts are scattered. Flowers born in the spiritual world have mysterious origins. They parasitize on the souls of the dead and burn their last obsessions.

2. This flower has a wide range of uses and is used as a magic material.

3. Be careful, don’t be burned into an idiot by it...

It turns out to be this!

The trick he obtained: Hell Fire, the main material is this. It needs to be mixed with aged incense ash, saltpeter and sulfur to make a powder.

Zhang Biao was excited and quickly took out the shovel.

But he didn't rush to do it. Instead, he placed the shovel under the flowers, carefully avoiding the blue flames.

Like a short-lived flower, as the blue flame burns, the flower quickly withers and produces a seed.

In an instant, the flame went out and the seeds fell, just in time to be caught by the shovel.

Zhang Biao quickly picked it up and observed it carefully.

The seeds are about the size of pills and are in the shape of black glass. There is a pale white face on it. You can vaguely see it, it is a one-eyed man with a stubble on his face.

This is the final destination of the dead souls in the spiritual world.

Zhang Biao carefully collected the seeds and continued exploring.

But after taking a few steps, he stopped.

I saw a man kneeling in front of him, wearing a prison uniform. He was skinny and had messy hair hanging on the ground.

As if noticing his gaze, the man turned his head suddenly, but it turned out to be a man with a long beard.

He had a handsome face and must have been a prison officer during his lifetime.

But now, his face was as pale as plaster, his eyes were hollow with blood, and he had a weird smile on his face.

suddenly!

His head fell to the ground with a grunt.

Still looking at Zhang Biao with a sly smile on his face.

Zhang Biao didn't pay attention, especially after seeing the roots spreading behind the prisoner, he waited patiently.

Sure enough, the prisoner gradually disappeared.

And in the same place,

A dark spark is slowly blooming...

Zhang Biao remained silent, took out his shovel and stepped forward to pick.

Not all dead souls turn into ghosts.

After most people die, their souls will completely dissipate and return to heaven and earth, but some will be dragged into the spirit world due to strong emotions.

The most basic thing is the soul of the dead.

These poor guys, barely surviving on intense fear, kept repeating the scene of their death.

As long as you don't provoke him, you will be shocked at most.

Sure enough, after picking up the seed, what appeared on it was the face of the prisoner just now.

In this way, Zhang Biao went around in circles and unknowingly collected seven or eight Hell Spark seeds.

The coolness on Nuo's face is getting weaker and weaker.

Zhang Biao knew that the energy stored in killing Shui Mei last time was about to disappear, and if he continued to kill Shui Mei, his own energy would be consumed.

He was a little reluctant, but he turned around without hesitation and headed in the direction he came from.

With my current cultivation level, I can't take too many risks.

After digging out the wooden box from the ground and opening it, Zhang Biao felt happy and relieved.

I saw that all the Yin Talisman beads were filled with a chilling chill at the moment, and the surface seemed to be coated with a layer of water film.

This is a sign of successful refining.

Suddenly, Zhang Biao's heart moved, and the fear of dying surged into his heart, as if he was being targeted by something.

Puff puff!

He ran the Three Yang Meridians without hesitation, ignited the Three Yang True Fires on his head and shoulders, and jumped back holding the box.

There is a huge attraction.

His vision went dark and he returned to his physical body.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already inside the charcoal shop in reality.

What was that thing just now?

Zhang Biao's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.

At his last glance, he only saw a furry humanoid black shadow with red eyes and a ferocious face.

It seems that the entrance to Guitouliu is not as safe as imagined. Fortunately, a barrier has been formed and those things cannot come out...

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao put away his things without hesitation and returned to the warehouse after leaving the charcoal shop. He crossed his legs and adjusted his breathing while waiting for dawn.

………

The next day, the sky was overcast.

Not long after I got up in the morning, the autumn rain began to fall, bringing with it a chill and making the ground muddy.

Even so, the West Market is bustling with activity.

"Why are food prices rising again?"

"Although it is only three cents more, it has been raised three times in a row recently. Do you still want to live?"

"The profiteer who suffered from the plague, go to the Office of Justice to sue him!"

"Don't go. The price for the Office of Standardization is the same."

"I'm afraid you don't know. There have been heavy rains and cold waves in Cangzhou and Chenzhou for several weeks, and the grain harvest has been poor. The price will naturally rise. Fortunately, the people acted quickly and collected some..."

"There is nothing you can do about natural disasters. Just bear with it. It will be fine next year."

The Autumn Zao Festival was approaching, but something like this happened. It was inevitable that the people would talk about it, but they paid more attention to it and prayed for good weather in the coming year.

In the crowd, Zhang Biao was silent while wearing a bamboo hat, then shook his head and turned to leave.

He knew better.

In those states, not only was the grain harvest poor, there was simply no grain left. In addition, the granaries were reselling the grains, and even the grain for disaster relief could not be raised. Famine had already broken out.

If this matter is not resolved, it will probably lead to chaos.

This is the way of the world. In the past, those big rats could get away with selling things privately, but when natural disasters came, their secrets were exposed one after another.

The group of people last night probably did not steal grain, but transported grain to the warehouse to make up for the previous losses.

After all, if Changpingcang is in chaos, the entire capital will be in turmoil, and the emperor will kill people...

…

After returning home, Zhang Biao cleared the wooden table before taking out some materials.

The Yin Talisman Flowing Bead has been formed. Use this object to absorb the resentment of evil ghosts. It can be suppressed and can also be used to cast spells...

There are still some materials needed for the enchantment technique, but he has a enchantment mirror, which can be repaired with the charm powder left last time to increase its power...

As for Shadow Escape, don’t think about it for now.

After Zhang Biao finished his Qi training for the day, he put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and started working in front of the wooden table.

The first step is to grind those Hellfire seeds into powder, and then mix them with aged incense ash and saltpeter sulfur powder...

This is the material for the Nether Fire Technique.

To refine this thing, you don't need to go to the spiritual world to make a sacrifice. You just need to use seed powder to ignite the residual thoughts in the incense ashes and turn them into hellfire.

Finally, I got a bag of powder.

Zhang Biao suppressed the excitement in his heart, carefully twisted a handful, came to the courtyard, and aimed at a stone.

I saw a strange "gurgling" sound coming from his mouth.

This is a treacherous curse, which imitates the sound made by the throat of a hanged person with his last breath. It is also called a ghost curse.

As the method moves, the true energy in the body surges up, matching the ghost curse in the mouth, and then blows suddenly.

Phew~

The powder roared out and turned into a blue fireball in an instant, wrapping the stone.

Crackling...

In the blue hell fire, the stones were first covered with a layer of frost, then cracks appeared and they shattered.

Zhang Biao looked shocked.

The power of the underworld fire was far beyond his imagination.

Although this technique is mainly used to deal with evil spirits, if it falls on a person, no matter how strong the martial arts is, it will be useless.

Of course, casting a spell requires a process, and if a master with quick movements is wary, he can still avoid it.

Zhang Biao suppressed his excitement and turned back to the room. He mixed the charm with incense ash and chicken blood until it turned into a thick paste, and carefully mended the cracks in the ecstasy mirror.

This is just a stop-gap method, but it can also increase the power of the ecstasy mirror.

It took a whole day to do all this.

He can already use three of the four tricks left behind by Nuo Mianjiangliang: ecstasy, dark fire, and evil curse.

Although Taoism and practice are still shallow, it should be enough to deal with Ah Guang, the ghost, with the protection of the three yang true fires.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao hurriedly went out, and while the gate of the square was still open, he left a lotus picture outside Jing'an Square...

…………

It's night, Jing'an Square, the Gate of Heaven and Earth.

"Master Liu, this matter is troublesome."

In the main hall of the Gate of Heaven and Earth, Zhuge Divine Catcher gently put down his tea cup and said with a gloomy face: "The Lianhua Sect has hidden underground and needs a lot of food. There must be outsiders to help."

"When it comes to secret activities in the city, the Tiandi Sect ranks first, and no one else dares to say second."

"Master Zhuge is joking."

An old Taoist opposite smiled bitterly and said: "In terms of intelligence, Guimen is the best in the world. Besides, those people must be prepared in case there is food stored underground..."

"Nothing unexpected!"

Zhuge Shenzao looked gloomy and stood up and said: "The Emperor attaches great importance to this matter. If the culprit is not found, no one will be able to live in peace!"

"Master Liu, please take care of yourself."

After that, he turned and left.

"These eagle dogs have gone too far!"

Not long after he left, an old man dressed as a storyteller in the hall cursed angrily.

The white-bearded Taoist shook his head and said: "In the Chaotang Jianghu, although the well water does not interfere with the river water, if they want to make things difficult, many of my disciples of the Tiandi Sect will have a hard time."

Downstairs, a woman dressed as a madam sneered: "Liumen is not easy to mess with. Is it possible that Yichong is easy to bully?"

The old Taoist shook his head, "According to the information we found, the matter is probably related to them, but the Yi Chonghui has been heavily guarded recently and is very mysterious..."

"Senior brother, leave this matter to me."

Down the hall, a weak voice came...
