Nightwatcher

Without any warning, Miao Youfang was forcibly deprived of vitality, and his aura rapidly declined.

In a few breaths, he was on the verge of death.

"what happened?"

The well-informed Li Lingsu was also shocked by the scene in front of him, so he hurried over and knelt down to check. .

The first thing that came to Xu Qi'an's mind was the word "curse killing technique".

According to his experience, in his impression, there are not many ways to kill people silently. Among them, the "Dream Witch Technique" and "Curse Killing Technique" of the Witch God Sect, as well as the "Spirit Seduction Technique" of Taoism can do this.

But there is a prerequisite for dream witches and soul ecstasies, that is, the target must be in a deep sleep state.

Miao Youfang does not meet this condition.

Then there is only cursing.

The problem is that the curse-killing technique uses hair, skin, and flesh as the medium, and at the very least, personal items. Miao Youfang has always been with us, and has not "lost" similar items. Xu Qian frowned.

"His internal organs are failing, and part of his soul is missing."

Li Lingsu gave the situation with a slightly changed face, and at the same time took out the elixir from the storage sachet and fed it to Miao Youfang.

"A part of the soul is missing?!"

Xu Qi'an questioned as if confirming.

Li Lingsu nodded, understood what he meant, and said in a deep voice:

"It's not curse killing."

There will be no such situation as "a part of the primordial spirit is missing" in the curse killing technique. If Miao Youfang has been hit by the curse killing technique, then his current state should be that the primordial spirit and the physical body are exhausted together.

Until death.

Li Lingsu added: "His celestial soul is gone, and it seems that he was forcibly pulled away. The strange thing is that I didn't notice it at all."

Being able to draw away the primordial spirit in front of a fourth-rank Nascent Soul without being discovered is even weirder than the curse-killing technique. Xu Qi'an withdrew his thoughts, and while pulling Mu Nanzhi to his side, leaned over to check Miao Youfang's situation .

It is already a candle in the wind, and it will die at any time.

"What method can forcibly strip part of the primordial spirit and bring the body to the brink of death?" Xu Qi'an asked extremely fast.

"Forcibly stripping part of the primordial spirit is very common, and I can do it too, but if it can be hidden from my perception, the other party is either in the Transcendent Realm, or has a special method.

"As for bringing the physical body to the brink of death, in theory, without the soul of the sky, people will be unconscious; without the soul of the earth, they will become fools; without the soul of man, they will die directly."

Li Lingsu also replied very quickly, and then said with a heavy face:

"Oops, if the pill doesn't work, he will die within a cup of tea at most."

Without the soul of the sky, he becomes a vegetable, without the soul of the earth, he becomes a fool, and without the soul of man, he becomes reincarnated directly. Xu Qi'an thought about it:

"In other words, Miao Youfang's physical condition has nothing to do with the lack of Heavenly Soul."

Li Lingsu thought for a while, and came to a conclusion from the professional perspective of Tianzong Shengzi: "It should be said that there is no direct relationship."

Xu Qi'an's thoughts turned very quickly:

"Using the soul of the sky as a medium, similar to the method of curse killing? It's just that the former is based on skin and flesh, and the latter is based on the soul of the sky. Well, I know how to do it."

Under Li Lingsu's thoughtful gaze, Xu Qi'an stretched out his palm and patted Miao Youfang on the head lightly.

No abnormal phenomenon occurred, but the exhaustion of Miao Youfang's viscera stopped instantly, and the elixir he took began to exert its effect, nourishing the viscera.

Change stars and change battles!

Xu Qi'an used the high-level ability of the Heavenly Gu to "hide" Miao Youfang, cutting off the connection between the Heavenly Soul and the main body.

Sure enough, Xu Qi'an let out a breath.

"alright!"

Li Lingsu was overjoyed that the people behind the scenes could no longer persecute Miao Youfang through the Heavenly Soul.

In a few words, they solved a problem that made most monks helpless.

This is not only because the two are knowledgeable and well-informed, but also because Xu Qi'an has enough means.

The effect of the Seven Absolute Gu is really too strong. Although it has not grown to the third-rank Transcendent Realm, compared to the martial arts system that can only show destructive power, the Seven Absolute Gu is more useful at certain times.

However, new problems came one after another, and Li Lingsu frowned:

"Who is dealing with us?"

Xu Qi'an asked back:

"Didn't you already have a guess?

"What is currently in obvious conflict with us is just around the corner."

The two looked at the collapsed statue of the temple god together, and Xu Qi'an said, "It was Miao Youfang who chopped down its sculpture just now."

Li Lingsu hissed:

"It shouldn't be. How can there be such a terrifying thing in a small county town and a small obscene temple? Speaking of which, what is this temple god? I haven't noticed any soul fluctuations yet."

Xu Qi'an shrugged: "I only know that there is a non-chief among us."

Being able to encounter such a tricky thing in a small county is like a child fishing in a stream and finding a dragon in the end.

Apart from the fact that the skin is too dark, there is really no more reasonable explanation.

Without the persona of "Senior Xu", Xu Qi'an spoke a lot more casually:

"Go out and ask Ling to see what this temple god is."

I am in the clear and the enemy is in the dark. If I want to solve the temple god, I must first figure out what it is.

So far, they have not figured out the details of the temple god.

Li Lingsu immediately carried Miao Youfang on his back, and was about to leave the temple, but the moment he turned around, he froze suddenly, and the next moment, he perfectly repeated Miao Youfang's mistakes.

boom!

The two fell to the ground at the same time.

On the other side, Mu Nanzhi and the little white fox also fell into a coma at the same time. Li Lingsu and the little white fox's life force declined rapidly. Only Mu Nanzhi was safe and sound, but could not wake up.

Xu Qi'an hugged the reincarnation of the flower god before she fell down.

He looked solemnly at the place where the sculpture collapsed.

The half of the stone mirror held by the little ghost floated up at some point, and the stone shell on the surface cracked with a "click".

This is a half piece of bronze mirror, which is covered with vine-like patterns. The smooth mirror surface reflects an eye without eyelashes, staring at the people in the temple indifferently and without emotion.

It was cut in the middle, and the cut was smooth, as if cut by a sharp knife.

The moment he was scrutinized by this eye, Xu Qi'an's warrior intuition immediately gave an early warning, releasing a dangerous signal.

At the same time, Xu Qi'an finally understood what the so-called temple god was.

A magic weapon, a broken magic weapon.

It undoubtedly has self-awareness, and can be regarded as an alternative creature.

A magic weapon, worshiped by people here, absorbing the incense, Xu Qi'an's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed something inside.

The eye in the mirror looked down at Xu Qi'an indifferently, and suddenly shot out a dark green light.

This gloomy light is unavoidable, directly acting on the soul.

In an instant, Xu Qi'an only felt a huge force pulling the primordial spirit, trying to tear the soul out of the body.

"snort!"

His primordial spirit was the first to pull out the magic nail. The genuine third-rank primordial spirit, the primordial spirit of a super-mortal powerhouse, even a martial artist, is not something that magic weapons can easily absorb.

While stabilizing his primordial spirit, Xu Qi'an took out fragments of books from the ground and shook out the pagoda of the pagoda while resisting the pull.

He wants to use the complete magic weapon to fight against the incomplete magic weapon.

As soon as the Buddha Pagoda appeared, a vast and majestic aura descended, filling every space.

The second floor of the Buddha Pagoda——Suppression!

It is specially used to suppress top powerhouses, such as Nalan Tianlu, the second-rank Rain Master back then.

The bronze mirror slowly "raised its eyes", and its attention shifted to the pagoda of the Buddha.

"go!"

Xu Qi'an pointed at the bronze mirror from a distance, and the pagoda moved towards the incomplete magic weapon to suppress it.

The bronze mirror was turned over, and the mirror was aimed at the Buddha Pagoda in the sky, and the eyelash-less eye shot out a dazzling green light.

chi chi!

The dark green light beam hit the base of the Pagoda, and a dazzling green light burst out, like sparks created by a welder.

The pagoda of the Buddha was pressed down unswervingly, and the green light beam was continuously compressed and compressed until there was a sound of "clang", the pagoda of the Buddha fell to the ground, and the bronze mirror was suppressed underneath.

Xu Qi'an didn't care about checking the pagoda of the Buddha, and hurriedly approached Bai Ji and Li Lingsu, using the ability of "moving stars and changing buckets" to hide them, so as to avoid the death of physical exhaustion.

After doing all these well, he entered the pagoda with peace of mind and went directly to the third floor.

The old monk Taling sat cross-legged on the futon, playing with a half bronze mirror in his hand, watching his arrival with a smile.

"Grandmaster!"

Xu Qi'an clasped his hands together, saluted, and immediately asked:

"Master, do you know what this is?"

The old monk Taling did not answer immediately, but asked rhetorically:

"Where did you get it?"

Xu Qi'an briefly explained what happened today.

The old monk Taling suddenly said: "It turns out that it has long been lost among the people. The benefactor Xu is indeed a man of great luck, and he was able to find this thing."

So, what the hell is this? Just as Xu Qi'an was about to ask, the old monk Taling shook the mirror, and four souls appeared, three of them and one fox.

Miao Youfang, Mu Nanzhi and the little white fox were floating in the air in a daze.

Only Li Lingsu came alive and fully demonstrated the specialness of Taoism in the realm of primordial spirit. He looked around in surprise:

"Why did I come to the tower?"

"You were captured by this mirror." Xu Qi'an pointed to the bronze mirror.

"Is it this mirror? It was this mirror that attacked us in the temple just now?" Li Lingsu wondered, "What is this, a magic weapon?"

"It's a magic weapon, but it seems to be incomplete." Xu Qi'an said while looking at the old monk.

The old monk Taling showed some emotion:

"This is a magic weapon called the Heavenly Mirror, it is the dressing mirror of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demons.

"It can illuminate the entire Kyushu, so that the leader of the monster clan can know the world's affairs without leaving home.

"Anyone who is illuminated by it will have their primordial spirit taken into the mirror, and their physical body will not be free. Life, death, and behavior will be manipulated by it. It is said that only the nine-tailed sky fox is immune and unaffected."

"When Jiazi was a monster, it was cut in half by Guangxian Bodhisattva, and it disappeared. I didn't expect it to appear here today. Maybe it's because of the karma between Master Xu and the monster clan."

The physical body is not free, is this thing controlling the body of Li Gui's wife?

Xu Qi'an immediately raised a question: "It should have appeared a month ago. Why do you force the people to offer incense in the name of the temple god?"

The old monk Taling explained:

"The magic weapon can absorb the power of incense, which can help it stabilize the state. The poor monk has practiced in Sanhua Temple for hundreds of years, and he is also edified by incense every day, which is very nourishing. It's just that the poor monk is in good condition, and the incense is optional. .

"And it is incomplete, so it needs to be nourished with incense."

Incense can warm and nourish magic weapons, so the Zhenguo Sword has been enshrined in the Yongzhen Shanhe Temple in Sangbo, so the Confucian Sage Carving Knife and the Yasheng Confucian Crown are enshrined in the Yasheng Temple? Xu Qi'an was stunned.

The little knowledge that feels useless has increased.

"This broken magic weapon has been doing the deed of pretending to be a wild god for the past five hundred years?"

Xu Qi'an asked doubts.

The old monk Taling looked down at the bronze mirror, as if he was communicating with it. After a few seconds, he raised his head and said:

"It said it couldn't remember the past, and when it woke up, it was picked up by an old woman. Then it asked the old woman for incense, huh? A bald donkey?"

The old monk paused, shook his head and laughed: "Because of its incompleteness, its mind is confused."

Xu Qi'an, whose mental state is not quite right, nodded and said, "Please trouble me to take care of this thing for the time being."

After speaking, he left the Buddha Pagoda with the souls of three people and one fox.

After their souls returned to their places, they woke up one after another. Xu Qi'an simply told what happened, and Miao Youfang was dumbfounded.

The only thing I didn't expect was a mirror.

"Li Lingsu, summon a spirit!"

Xu Qi'an ordered.

Li Lingsu was muttering something, in a short time, the temple was very windy and the temperature dropped sharply.

Because he just died not long ago, no auxiliary materials are needed to set up the formation.

Two souls were condensed, one is an old woman with gray hair; the other is a stout man with dull eyes and dull expression.

Mother-in-law, mother-in-law and son.

Xu Qi'an asked, "How did you get the mirror?"

The sorceress stared blankly ahead, her voice was hollow:

"The well in the old house is dry."

The newly deceased ghost has no thinking, and can answer whatever it asks, without saying a word.

Xu Qi'an asked a lot of questions intermittently before he got the general idea of ​​the matter.

About a month ago, due to poor harvests and frequent disasters, the son of the sorceress was unwilling to support his mother, so he pushed her into the dry well.

The witch picked up the bronze mirror in the well.

Since then, she was driven by the bronze mirror and repaired the God City Temple for it. She also lived a prosperous life and no longer had to be hungry.

However, she thinks that the temple god is a madman. At one time, he wants to offer incense, to kill the donkey, and to call the king immortal.

Fortunately, the temple god who drives her is actually very obedient, and will basically do things according to her proposal, and kill whoever is asked to kill.

It is worth mentioning that Li Gui's mother-in-law was killed by a sorceress. The sorceress met Li Gui's mother-in-law, and after accidentally learning that she used the "wooden ghost" in the Town God's Temple as firewood, she made a plan.

So there was what happened to Li Gui.

Therefore, she got the first pot of gold from Li Gui, and made a name for herself. With the power of the mirror of the sky, she made the people in the county fear.

In the past month, her son has followed the prestige of the temple god, and in the name of begging for a son, threatened and raped several beautiful women from good families.

"There's more than enough to die for!" Miao Youfang snorted coldly, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let this mother and child die so quickly."

"Miao Youfang, go find someone to inquire later, let's kill those men who are guarding the courtyard together." Xu Qi'an arranged in an orderly manner.

His skill in nourishing Qi is much deeper than before, and he can hide his joy and anger in his heart.

The few men who helped the tyrant were already on his must-kill list, but they were not in a hurry like before, and there was a kind of calmness in which everything was under control.

He became more and more Wei Yuan's old way.

The only thing I don't know now is why the bronze mirror ended up in the Central Plains. Of course, it's not important, just like there is no need to figure out whether the chicken or the egg came first. Xu Qi'an waved his sleeves, and the souls of the mother-in-law, mother and child disappeared in smoke. .

He turned to think about how to deal with the Heavenly Mirror.

Normally speaking, it is the best choice to keep this incomplete magic weapon by your side and let it "pay for its sins". One more magic weapon means one more means.

The more means, the greater the ability to deal with risks.

But since this magic weapon is the "dressing mirror" of the nine-tailed sky fox back then, Xu Qi'an felt that it might be able to maximize the benefits.

Would that noble princess be interested in the relics of her mother?

Maybe I can sell it for a higher price Xu Qi'an looked at Bai Ji with an amiable smile:

"Little cutie, can you contact your princess?"
