Inside the dilapidated scripture copying hall.

A big Buddha still stands, with a kind head and kind eyes.

But the atmosphere of the few people in front of the Buddha was solid, and there was no atmosphere like the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha at all.

Murder is everywhere.

Xie Lingjiang was sweating on his forehead. He put one hand behind his back and placed a fist in front of his abdomen.

She stood in front of the trembling white-haired old monk and looked forward.

Do your part.

Within one foot of the two people, there was a faint mist lingering, just like the steam after boiling water, filling the area of ​​one foot.

Qiu Shenji stood outside this strange fog with cold eyes, and even slowly circled around the circular "one-foot-long fog" to look at Xie Lingjiang and Master Shandao.

Occasionally, he took a slight half step, and his toes entered the "ten feet of fog" range.

"Crack-!"

Suddenly, an electric arc as thick as a little finger appeared in this "ten feet of mist". The electric arc was vermilion in color, with a faint hint of purple light.

It has the power of a noble thunder.

The man in sackcloth squinted his eyes, quickly took back his burnt right foot from the cloth shoe, and let out a cold "ha".

Xie Lingjiang let out a muffled "hum", a faint line of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and her delicate body was on the verge of falling. She still kept her eyes straight and kept the posture of stepping forward with her right foot.

Beside the right foot, there is a vermilion talisman stuck to the ground. There are eight elegant and free cinnabar characters written on the talisman: Great manifestation, Yuan Henry Zhen.

Xie Lingjiang's whole body of vermilion spiritual energy flowed along the Shaoyang meridian of his right foot like nothing, and poured out into the weakened version of the square-inch thunder pool at his feet.

The thunder pool blocked the fierce enemy.

She also trapped herself.

Qiu Shenji stood guard outside the "Thunder Pond", turned his head and stared at the big Buddha in the center of the hall for a while. He spat a mouthful of bloody saliva to the side and suddenly said:

"Little girl, what benefits have you given Taiqing Longhu Mountain? Those stingy old men are willing to give you a red and purple talisman to protect yourself?"

Xie Lingjiang did not answer.

Qiu Shenji smiled:

"But you can't use this 'Fang Cun Thunder Pond' well. That's not how Taiqing's secret skill is used. You should use it to kill me directly. It's just in time for me to be injured and lose my rank. It's not in line with the Tianshi Mansion to be a coward."

The essence of Leifa."

Xie Lingjiang was unmoved and her face turned pale again.

The man in linen clothes in front of her appeared to be chatting with her, but in fact he had a restrained aura, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

She is constantly looking for loopholes in the "thunder pool" she has set up, and is always ready to tear open this square-inch thunder pool with her bare hands using her warrior physique.

Xie Lingjiang must concentrate on maintaining it.

Seeing her stubbornness, Qiu Shenji let out a light "hum".

He suddenly sat down cross-legged in front of the "Thunder Pond", seemed to close his eyes to heal his wounds, and waited quietly.

Xie Ling Jiang's temples were wet with sweat, and his eyelids were lowered to "fight" from time to time, but they were forced to open wide, and he did not dare to relax for a moment.

At this moment, her situation was not good.

Even if the man in linen clothes in front of him was seriously injured, he even seemed to have been beaten to the sixth level by the Lady Yunmeng, but a sixth-level military qi practitioner was still not something Xie Lingjiang could defeat.

Especially this kind of military strategist who has rich experience in catching and killing enemies.

If Xie Lingjiang remembers correctly, the sixth-grade military strategist is called "Weapon Master". He is not only good at using weapons from all over the world, but also has a strong body that can shape his body into a terrifying humanoid weapon.

She is a scholar, so when fighting against her, you should keep a distance.

However, the two of them had just met suddenly in the Sutra Copying Hall and were caught off guard. Xie Lingjiang had no choice but to "draw the ground as a prison".

"Amitabha, Amitabha..." Master Shandao was sweating profusely and trembling as he recited the sutra.

"Shut up." Xie Lingjiang squeezed out two words.

Master Shandao immediately fell silent and was very obedient.

"Interesting." Qiu Shenji closed his eyes and sneered: "It's really shameful that a monk and a Confucian scholar need the protection of an expert in Taoism."

Xie Lingjiang pursed his lips and said nothing.

She shouldn't have returned here.

Just now, she was with the mute girl in Wu skirt.

But then there was a sudden loud noise and the upstream Dickong Gate collapsed. Before she could react, she found that the girl beside her who was as quiet as a virgin was crazy and rushed down the mountain with tears on her face, as if heading towards the upstream Dickong Gate.

Running in the direction...

Could it be that this mute girl has an important person upstream near Dee Gong Gate? Judging from her appearance, that person seems to be important to her life.

Xie Lingjiang was puzzled and felt a little emotional. Although they were close to each other, it was difficult for them to communicate with each other.

After the mute girl Wu Qun left, Xie Lingjiang rushed to find Li Xian's family without stopping. When passing by the Sutra Copying Hall, he found Master Shandao being held hostage by two swordsmen in black.

Principle, came to the rescue.

But Xie Lingjiang didn't expect that during his short stay in the Sutra Copying Hall, he would bump into a man in sackcloth who suddenly arrived, and a fight between the two was about to break out.

Xie Lingjiang was at a disadvantage with his first move, so he had no choice but to take out an extremely precious purple gold talisman and release the square-inch thunder pool to resist the enemy and save his life.

This purple gold talisman was privately given to her by an old Heavenly Master from the Heavenly Master's Mansion during her trip to Longhu Mountain a few days ago.

Take the pill together and let it be used to protect the deposed emperor Li Xian's family.

Taiqing Longhu Mountain, Shangqing Maoshan, and Yuqingge Zaoshan are called the three mountains of talismans. One of the reasons is that they share a talisman system. The secret knowledge of the sects in the three mountains all consumes a precious talisman.

The current purple gold talisman is a necessary consumable to use Taiqing's secret skill "Fang Cun Thunder Pool".

It's just that after the old Heavenly Master gave it to her, Xie Lingjiang was an outsider and not a direct descendant of Zhang from the Heavenly Master's Mansion. He couldn't learn Taiqing's secret art "Shenxiao Purple Thunder Jue", so naturally he couldn't use its full power.

It can only be used as a prison by drawing the ground to protect oneself. It can be regarded as a weakened version of the "square-inch thunder pool".

Even in Longhu Mountain in Taiqing, there are only a few very senior Heavenly Masters who can exert the full power of the "Fang Cun Thunder Pond".

But even so, it is very rare for Xie Lingjiang to get this precious purple and gold talisman.

Even the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain did not look at the autographed letter from the deposed Emperor Lixian, but because of her "unparalleled resourcefulness"...

Well, Xie Lingjiang modified the analysis of the current situation that senior brother had in the study that day, and revealed it to the Tianshi Mansion. Naturally, everyone was impressed. Before leaving, he repeatedly praised the Xie family of Chen County for being a true orchid and jade tree.

This purple gold talisman can be regarded as a good relationship.

Xie Lingjiang sighed softly.

At this moment, a powerful enemy was in front of her. On the talisman at her feet, the cinnabar talismans written by an old master from Longhu Mountain were dimmed a lot.

I don't know how long it can last.

Outside the square-inch thunder pond, a man in sackcloth sat meditating with his eyes closed, as if he was not in any hurry.

But from time to time he would open his eyes and look coldly at Xie Lingjiang, which also revealed some irritability in his heart.

Qiu Shenji reached into his arms, took out the porcelain bottle, poured out an emerald green pill and swallowed it.

After a moment, he still frowned.

These ordinary healing elixirs are of no avail.

The man in sackcloth suddenly tore open his rag shirt, revealing a bleeding wound on the bronze chest skin, an inch away from his heart.

The wound was about three fingers wide, and the pink flesh was turned out. As the heart beat violently, the blood gushed intensified.

There was still a vague white mist lingering around it, and it began to smell and rot, making it difficult to heal for a while.

The special sword wound left by Yun Meng Yue Nu cannot be healed so easily.

Qiu Shenji even felt that this bloody wound had become a flaw in his perfect martial body.

Not only were there holes in his body, but there were also gaps in the small world inside his body, and his spiritual energy leaked out like a trickle... His spiritual energy cultivation had faintly dropped from the original fifth-level "Weapon Yin Yang Family" to the sixth-level "Weapon Expert" strength.

This is not only a first-level difference, but also a fall from a high-level Qi Practitioner to a middle-level Qi Practitioner. The most intuitive manifestation is that one cannot fly with the wind.

This made Qiu Shenji feel a little uneasy in his heart. This feeling was like a flying bird spreading its wings, falling to the ground with broken wings, and walking clumsily. The subtle differences between them are not easy to explain.

And the culprit that caused all this.

"Candle in the snow..." Qiu Shenji gritted his teeth.

How had the man in sackcloth, who was honing his military skills step by step among the thousands of troops in Mobei, ever suffered such aggrievement?

The most important thing is...he lost!

The pure body was used as a sharpening stone, and was "cracked" by an unruly little Hu Ji who had just entered the fifth level.

The fourth level of the military art is special. It emphasizes the "position" of a soldier, which is like climbing a mountain. You need to climb to the top step by step on the "position".

And Qiu Shenji has been wandering in front of the fourth-grade gate for many years, and is about to pass the golden age of a martial artist with the strongest energy and blood. Now he is taking advantage of this trip to the south of the Yangtze River to hone his military "power" with the overwhelming "Tripod Sword" sword box on his back.

, finally had the opportunity to touch the fourth grade.
