Chapter 234 Thousand Chongzhang
The next day, Si Shubai, who was ashen-faced, hurriedly found Chu Tai and asked him, somewhat embarrassed, for the props he used to deduce the future yesterday.
“What happened?”
“Sorry, I can’t tell you about this for the time being, and we may need to trouble you to cooperate with our work recently.”
Words At that moment, Si Shubai bowed and saluted, and behind her came a handsome young man in fancy clothes.
"Who is this?"
Chu Tai looked at the newly appeared man with a little fear in his eyes.
Obviously he didn't make a move, but the man in front of him gave him a feeling of surging energy and blood rising into the sky, like flames covering the sky.
That was no longer the smoke of single energy and blood that the monks "saw" with the help of perception, but similar to the smoke coming from the body during strenuous exercise in a low-temperature environment. It was an effect visible to the naked eye.
"My name is Shen Zhanpeng, the head of a hundred households who guard this place. According to your understanding, I should be a fifth-level monk of martial arts and spirituality. Because of the Hong Yue case, I hope you can cooperate with the investigation."
Shen Zhanpeng spoke calmly, but did not give Chu Tai the option of rejecting it at all.
After a moment of silence, Chu Tai asked: "How can we cooperate? I won't be able to let you go into the city without letting me go."
"Of course not."
Shen Zhanpeng also worked nearby for a while. He knew very well that if the practitioners were not handled well, it would easily lead to radical changes. He said very decisively: "We want all the instruments and altar materials you used for divination. In addition, , please don’t leave my sight for the time being.”
Chu Tai remained silent. Seeing this, Si Shubai added, “I know this may make you feel like we are spying on your practice. It feels like a secret technique, but please rest assured that the city has given enough compensation this time. This is a method involving the cultivation of small magical powers in the way of mountains and rivers, plus this is the reward I have agreed with you in advance. "< br>
As he spoke, a scroll of paintings and a jade slip were handed to Chu Tai.
There are some slight [mountain and river] magical thoughts surging on the jade slips, which are obviously the small magical powers of mountains and rivers that have just been recorded in it.
"In that case, please help yourself. Everything is there, I haven't packed it away yet."
Chu Tai took the two things, turned around and sat on a piece of bluestone, and began to appreciate it New landscape paintings.
I don’t know if it’s because Si Shubai felt wronged, but the concept and charm of the work he brought this time were better than the previous one.
‘If Si Shubai hadn’t used his connections to add a small magical power to this item in exchange for some deduction equipment, Fucheng’s wealth accumulation would have exceeded my expectations. ’
After Si Shubai asked people to take away the things, he said a few words to Chu Tai, but received no reply.
Although he had expected it, when this situation actually happened, Si Shubai sighed secretly, informed him and left the place.
After the other party left, Chu Tai looked up and at the same time glanced at Shen Zhanpeng who was standing by and staring at him. After putting the scroll away, he lowered his head and continued to look at the jade slip in his hand.
‘It turns out to be a magical power from the Taiyi lineage. Is it a coincidence? ’
Chu Tai's eyes narrowed slightly, and the magical power recorded in the jade slip was called Yunni Qianzhongzhang. It is a magical power that integrates defense, concealment, and offense. When necessary, it can also shake the earth's veins and change the terrain. In terms of power, it is also first-rate among the small magical powers of mountains and rivers.
It’s just that the [Mountains and Rivers] legal meaning contained in it clearly has traces of the Taiyi lineage. After excluding the influence of Taiyi Zhenjun, the construction of the [Mountains and Rivers] legal meaning is somewhat different. If it cannot go up or down, it is useless to ordinary people. Even monks who practice landscape techniques have to spend a lot of effort to modify and integrate it.
‘This is in line with my stereotype of the first-class officials in Fucheng and others who will give you benefits, but not all. The only problem is...'
Chu Tai played with the jade slips, silently digesting the mystery of this magical power in his heart, thinking about how to modify it, so that he would not be able to control the meaning of the [Mountains and Rivers], and what was inside. The traces of Taiyi contained in it make up for the shortcomings of this magical power, allowing people to see the clues.
At the same time, part of Chu Tai's mind also fell on Shen Zhanpeng beside him. Although the other person was always looking at him, there was also some kind of light flowing in his pupils, blatantly telling Chu Tai that I am observing you with secret techniques. .
But Chu Tai, who is also good at observing others, has a feeling that Shen Zhanpeng is just a cover-up on the surface, and he is actually observing himself in other places.
‘I’d better not try to practice magical powers or refining magic weapons at this moment, otherwise my identity may be exposed. '
Thinking about this, Chu Tai looked back at Shen Zhanpeng and asked: "Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen a fifth-grade martial arts monk. It is said that when you have reached this point in your cultivation, your spirit and qi and blood are in harmony. Is it true that he has the ability to understand everything, his energy and blood are as real as his own, and he can ignore most magical powers by relying on his own strength alone? >
Chu Tai’s words are actually a bit excessive, but considering his previous experience, it can barely be explained.
Shen Zhanpeng looked at Chu Tai and had no intention of answering, but Chu Tai continued: "I also studied martial arts for a period of time. I once knew that a kind of power called 'intention' can be condensed in the process of martial arts practice. I think it is an individual Regarding the use of Ren Yuan Miaoqi, I wonder if you, a martial arts senior, can give me some pointers?"
Chu Tai said, and waved his hand in the air, and used the eighth-grade Dao Fruit fragment [Warrior]. With the power of 'intention' analyzed here and there, the [mountain and river] legal intention was slightly aroused, and an illusory stone tablet appeared on the surface of his palm, directly smashing a bluestone on the side.
Such methods are nothing to a sixth-grade monk, but the power operation method shown by Chu Tai made Shen Zhanpeng, a fifth-grade monk, a little concerned.
He stared at Chu Tai for a while. During Chu Tai's observation, there was a very subtle change in the 'fate' on his body.
Because it was difficult to use the magical powers of observation in person, Chu Tai could not explore the specific changes and their origins. He only knew that Shen Zhanpeng opened his mouth to communicate with him only after this 'fate' changed.
"Do you mean it? It's quite interesting. It seems to be somewhat similar to the true meaning of martial arts that we began to comprehend when we reached the seventh level of martial arts practice and tried to break through to the sixth level. However, there is also a little meaning of the Dharma of your immortal cultivation in it. It seems that you originally The research is quite in-depth.”
Hearing this, Chu Tai smiled and said: “It’s a coincidence and an unintentional understanding. Unfortunately, my training time is limited and I don’t have so much time to study martial arts. , I have not continued to study it in depth at this point, and I don’t know if this thing is considered a part of martial arts.”
“We who practice martial arts will also understand the power of mountains and rivers, but I can’t say that about you. In fact, you don’t have to worry about whether this move is considered immortal or martial. After all, your immortal way also regards martial arts as part of the human-immortal system. There is absolutely no problem with your method being classified under the human-immortal system.”
< br>Shen Zhanpeng's answer prompted Chu Tai to ask a question.
“Then I don’t know, what is the difference between the ‘meaning’ I evolved and the true meaning of martial arts?”
As soon as Chu Tai said these words, Shen Zhanpeng's expression changed slightly. He was silent for a moment, and his 'Yuan' fluctuated again. He whispered: "Do you want to experience it?"
"After all, I want to experience it, I want you to experience my method so that I can more clearly prove my innocence. Instead of waiting for you to take action, I would rather do it myself."
Chu Tai took two steps back, and the law of [Shanhe] blessed him. The aura of the mountains, rivers and earth below me blends in, and the phantoms of numerous mountains emerge, forming a thousand layers of barriers.
