"How do you know that I am a disciple of the Taiqing Palace?" Wang Changsheng asked, admitting his identity. [Read the full text …]
The middle-aged scholar had a scholarly aura. The black inkstone and golden book he used were common magic tools of the Confucian Sect, so he was most likely a member of the Confucian Sect. Taoism and Confucianism were originally from the same family. Moreover, Wang Changsheng did not intend to stay here for long, so there was no harm in revealing his identity.
"I have seen the Cultivation Method that you just used on several disciples of the Taiqing Palace," the middle-aged scholar explained with a smile on his face. However, he immediately thought of something and said, "By the way, thank you for saving me. Otherwise, my niece would have died in the hands of that witch." At the end of his words, his face showed a touch of gratitude.
"Yes! Thank you for saving my life. By the way, I am Tang Xuan. How should I address you? "The woman in blue nodded and asked.
"Wang Changsheng." After a little hesitation, Wang Changsheng said his real name.
"So it is Wang Daoyou. I have long heard that the Taiqing Palace's Talisman Technique is quite exquisite. I am also very interested in the Talisman Technique, so I would like to invite Wang Daoyou to my residence as a guest and ask for guidance on the Talisman Technique. At the same time, I will also prepare a small gift to thank Wang Daoyou for saving my life," Tang Xuan said with a sincere face.
"There's no need for thanks, it was just a slight effort. I still have matters to attend to, so I won't stay here any longer. Farewell." Immortal Wang shook his head, and after leaving behind these words, he executed Wave-like Subtle Steps and quickly left this place.
Seeing this, Tang Xuan frowned and looked a little disappointed.
"Well, don't look, he is gone. Don't forget, although our Imperial family was elected by these large sects, they are afraid that the strength of our Imperial family will surpass theirs. Especially in these years, they have constantly increased their suppression, making our Imperial family unable to do anything," the middle-aged scholar said with deep meaning.
"I understand what you mean, Seventh Uncle," Tang Xuan nodded as her eyes dimmed.
"Alas, I heard that there were evil practitioners here. I originally planned to use these evil practitioners as practice for you. Who would have thought that Little Nine and Little Eleven would lose their lives here. I really don't know how to explain this to Sixth Brother and Eighth Brother." The middle-aged scholar sighed. Looking at the corpses of the short and fat youth, he felt a headache.
"Seventh Uncle, you didn't expect these two evil cultivators to have such strange means. Moreover, Eleventh Brother was careless and didn't use a defensive magic tool. Otherwise, the bronze armored corpse wouldn't have broken through his defense. I believe Sixth Uncle and Eighth Uncle won't blame you," Tang Xuan comforted.
"No matter what, as an elder, I was at fault for not keeping an eye on them. Alright, it's getting late. Let's take their corpses and leave! After we go back, we'll send people to investigate other places to see if there are any more evil practitioners lurking in the secular world. If there are, we'll kill them without mercy, "the middle-aged scholar said with a fierce look in his eyes.
If word got out that evil practitioners used mortals to practice martial arts, it would damage the Imperial family's reputation. Moreover, if it weren't for evil practitioners, his two nephews wouldn't have died. Therefore, he naturally wouldn't let these evil practitioners go.
"That's right, but these things should be left to those worshippers! There's no need for us Imperial family to do it ourselves. "
After returning to the manor, Wang Changsheng took out two storage bags and poured out everything inside.
Li Da Shan and Tang Xuan didn't have much. There were more than a thousand spirit stones and more than ten magic tools. Most of them were mid-grade magic tools and only one top-grade magic tool. They didn't have a single pill. There were dozens of jade slips of different colors and a stack of banknotes.
Wang Changsheng picked up a jade slip and looked at it. After a while, he took off this jade slip and picked up the second one.
After half an hour, Wang Changsheng took off a red jade slip from between his eyebrows. There was a thoughtful expression on his face.
"I didn't expect that there would be a cultivation method in this world that doesn't require Foundation Establishment Pills to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage," Wang Changsheng smiled bitterly and muttered to himself.
This red jade slip recorded a cultivation method called Blood Spirit Great Law. It could be used to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage by sacrificing other people's blood. However, as one's cultivation increased, the number of people who would be sacrificed would also increase. Cultivators were also the targets of the blood sacrifice. In addition, this cultivation method also came with several secret techniques. However, they all required a large amount of blood essence from cultivators to practice. The higher the cultivation of the cultivators who would be sacrificed, the more powerful the secret techniques would be.
Wang Changsheng originally had some interest in this cultivation method. However, after seeing this, that trace of interest disappeared. This cultivation method might be very powerful, but as one's cultivation increased, the number of cultivators who would be sacrificed would also increase. If the sect found out that he was practicing this cultivation method, expelling him from the sect would be a light punishment. He might even be killed. This cultivation method was too vicious. It was against the will of the heavens.
Because of this, Li Da Shan and Tang Xuan hid here to secretly practice this cultivation method. They were afraid of being discovered by others.
In contrast, the Golden Sun Skill was better. As long as one practiced it step by step, it was not impossible to condense a Gold Core. Although its power was weaker, it could be made up with talismans.
Wang Changsheng put these things away according to their classification. After calming down, he took out the talisman making tools to draw the Thunder Spear Talisman.
After several days of hard work, Wang Changsheng drew a batch of talismans. There were two powerful talismans, the Thunder Spear Talisman and the Fire Bird Talisman, as well as the Golden Light Talisman and the Beast Trapping Talisman. In addition, he drew two Paper Crane Talisman Soldiers.
In his spare time, Wang Changsheng would also walk on the street.
Needless to say, a lot of things had happened in Guangning County these days. Zhao Ming and more than a dozen children were found and rescued in the secret room of the Li Mansion. The explanation given by the government was that the bandits had murdered Li Da Shan and used his identity to do evil. As for the servants of the Li Mansion, they were all executed as accomplices.
Chen Qingfeng and Li Da Shan were both dismissed. A few days later, the magistrate of Changzhou sent officials to replace them.
As soon as the new magistrate and Li Da Shan arrived, they immediately arrested Chen Qingfeng and Li Da Shan and took them to the city for interrogation on the grounds of harboring criminals. Some people felt sorry for them, but more people clapped their hands and cheered.
Although Chen Qingfeng was not a corrupt official, he had not made any significant achievements in his more than 20 years in office. In addition, a large number of children went missing in his jurisdiction. His reputation could not be worse. His removal from office and investigation had somewhat alleviated the resentment in the hearts of the people in Guangning County.
Along with the new county magistrate, in addition to the guards and servants, there were also more than ten scholars. As soon as they arrived, they put up notices everywhere to establish an academy outside the city. The academy would accept students between the ages of six and twenty. As long as the children met the age requirements, they could sign up for the academy. Once they passed the examination, they would be able to enter for free.
This news quickly attracted the attention of the people of Guangning County, especially the poor families. As soon as they heard that they could enroll for free after passing the examination, they went to the county government office to enroll their children. Zhao Dayou immediately enrolled his son, Zhao Ming.
However, to everyone's surprise, the way of the examination was quite strange. The Old Man in charge of the examination just put his hand on the hand of the reference person and asked a few questions. Finally, after a round of auditions, only five children could enroll for free. Zhao Ming was one of them.
These five children who could enroll for free were not only the children of rich and powerful families, but also the children of peddlers. As a result, not many people questioned the fairness of the examination.
During the examination, Wang Changsheng went to take a look. He accidentally found that the Old Man was a cultivator. His disciple was also a cultivator. The Old Man was in the Foundation Establishment Period, while his disciple was only in the Qi Refining Period.
Wang Changsheng guessed that these cultivators were most likely sent by the imperial court.
They were afraid that there would be evil cultivators causing trouble here.
Wang Changsheng planned to stay for a few more days to draw more charms. However, the next action of the new magistrate forced him to leave.
The new magistrate sent people to check the population of each household. It was fine for the locals, but if the foreigners did not have a travel permit, they would be sent to prison.
Wang Changsheng did not have a travel permit with him, so he left.
