The valley was in a mess, filled with a pungent fishy smell.
Taoist Qingjing squatted by the jade pool, looked at the water dyed red by the demon's blood, and casually rinsed the dirt off his hands.
This old guy Chunyang, it would have been fine if he just buried the person, but he forced me to use my hands. He clearly wanted to stab Yan Xingkong with a sword before, but now he looked like he was in a heavy mood.
Thinking of this, Taoist Qingjing turned his head to look at the graves in the distance, with a look of emotion in his eyes.
After seeing the miserable state of Madam Yan Xingkong, I had a little more understanding for this thief. If the person closest to me was treated so cruelly, I would probably lose my mind because of the anger and blood rushing to my head.
Unfortunately, although it is understood, the strict rules of the Demon Suppression Division are meant to avoid more similar tragedies, and Yan Xingkong is not the only one in Qingzhou who has a wife.
Fortunately, he was able to see his enemy being killed in front of him before his death. This is a blessing that many people in the martial arts world cannot obtain even at the cost of their lives.
He could even be buried together with his wife after his death. No wonder he smiled with such satisfaction before.
"It should be about the same."
Chunyangzi carefully carved his name on the stone tablet. He had promised something to someone else. Even if the person was dead and almost killed him, the old man would not be perfunctory at all.
After inserting the tombstone deeply into the grave, he clapped his hands and said, "Alright, let's go back. I will definitely go into seclusion for a while when I return this time. I will try to break through the Liangyi True Meaning to the highest level before my life span runs out. This will also be the fulfillment of a wish of mine."
Hearing this, Taoist Qingjing nodded in agreement.
After staying in the mountains for a long time, feeling the awe-inspiring gazes of the disciples all day long, he couldn't help but relax.
He thought he had mastered the profound true meaning and was well-known in the whole Qingzhou, and he was very satisfied.
Little did he know that there are always people better than him and mountains better than mountains. Any unknown demon hiding in a magic circle in the mountains could leave him so helpless.
Lord Xiao Shen looks taciturn and extremely low-key, but his decisiveness in dealing with monsters is terrifying.
Baiyun Temple had never heard of such a powerful master.
Could it be that this is the killer weapon secretly cultivated by the general?
Thinking of this, Taoist Qingjing's awe for the Demon Suppression Division grew even stronger. If it were Baiyun Temple, with such a young generation, they would probably want to let everyone in Qingzhou know about it and would not be willing to keep it secret.
"It's just... suddenly showing this trump card, could it be that Qingzhou is going to have a big problem?"
Taoist Qingjing shook his head, wiped the water off his hands, stood up and walked towards the previous place.
Xiao Qiangwei had already dealt with all the valuable monster goods, and was holding four slender feathers in her hand, half green and half red.
Feeling the mystery in it, his eyes couldn't help but flicker.
Even after being a monster catcher for so many years, it is rare to see such a precious treasure. Unfortunately, it is a natural ability of the monster after all. Trying to activate it with the inner energy of the elixir will not produce even one-tenth or one-twelfth of its original effect.
"Lord Xiao, you'd better hurry back to Qingzhou as soon as possible." The two Taoists forced themselves to look away from the feather.
"Okay." Xiao Qiangwei injected her breath into the silver bell and soon got a response.
She laughed at herself, if she hadn't been so panicked before, such a misunderstanding wouldn't have happened. After entering this breath-suppressing formation, Shen Yi couldn't even contact her.
After a while, a young man in black shirt came from a distance.
Xiao Qiangwei didn't feel anything unusual, but the two old Taoists showed some surprise in their eyes.
As the saying goes, Tao follows nature. Lord Shen's seemingly unhurried pace actually contains a sense of integration with nature.
But the next moment, they sensed some hostility in the look Shen Yi gave them... there seemed to be a hint of resentment.
"…"
Chun Yangzi blinked and suddenly became much more reserved.
Although he didn't know how he had offended the other party, he still had to be careful. Lord Shen could smash Kong Jing's head with one palm, and his old bones could not withstand his ravages.
Shen Yi quickly adjusted his mood and nodded to the others: "Let's go after you've packed up."
In the void of sight, the panel has new changes.
[Ningdan. The true meaning of the two principles: perfection]
[Remaining demon lifespan: 1,429 years]
A palm-sized golden page with no more than two hundred characters engraved on it.
This group of old Taoists were afraid that writing in more detail would not be enough to highlight the exquisiteness of their skills, so they came up with all these fancy things.
He had used up more than 1,200 years of the demon's lifespan. He really wanted to know if these Taoists could live that long?
Originally, he was planning to use a thousand years of condensed demon crystals to try to launch another demon martial art, but now it seems a little insufficient.
"You take these feathers first. I will hand over all the other bits and pieces and convert them into martial arts temple refining for you." Xiao Qiangwei explained carefully, worried that the other party would think that she was greedy and lost the gain.
Shen Yi just glanced at the blue and red feathers and seemed to be not very interested.
Then, his words made several people freeze in their places: "You can divide it according to the rules of the monster catcher. I will just take one portion."
"I know you are a body-tempering warrior..." Xiao Qiangwei was worried that he didn't understand, so she hurriedly continued, "But if you carry this red feather with you, it can also nourish your body and heal injuries."
"I know." Shen Yi nodded his chin lightly, but still had no intention of changing his mind.
This time, the eyes of the two Taoists finally became hot, and they cast their gazes towards the place they had been trying not to look at just now. Four slender feathers swayed gently, emitting a faint glow.
Being able to get back the martial arts was already a pleasant surprise, but who would have thought that they would also have a share of the demon's gains?
"Sir Shen." Chun Yangzi gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, waving his sleeves feebly: "No merit, no reward. Telling others about it will make people laugh at you."
Taoist Qingjing didn't stop him and could only sigh.
In addition to understanding the true meaning of the two yin and yang, Baiyun Temple is also an expert at refining magical instruments. Such precious demonic materials are like a carpenter seeing a precious tree or a cook seeing a fat chicken. If they don't tinker with them a bit, they'll feel uncomfortable.
"It's a reward from Lord Shen, how can you refuse it?" Xiao Qiangwei raised her eyebrows slightly, and handed over the four feathers at once, and then said: "Don't waste good things. After the treasure is made, you keep one, and send the rest to the Demon Department Office in Qingzhou Town, saying that they are for General Shen under Mr. Chen's command."
Hearing this, Chun Yangzi's sleeves that had just fallen down trembled, but he still followed his heart and stretched out his hand again: "Thank you, Lord Shen, for the reward."
Then the white-haired and youthful face broke into a smile.
"…"
Shen Yi really didn't understand it. He could clearly get it for free, but now he was just working for someone else and he could still be so happy.
If all my colleagues in my previous life were such people, I'm sure the boss would quickly replace the employees with younger sisters-in-law.
He rubbed his eyebrows, turned and walked out of the valley.
The advantage of the body tempering method is that it will not generate any negative emotions when it is practiced.
The deduction of these martial arts techniques brought about intense confusion, despair, exhaustion, until suddenly enlightenment came, and so many emotions came to the mind at once, which could not be dissipated in a short time.
