Two hours later, the people of Yinshan County could see thick smoke billowing above the county government office. The flames were more than ten feet high, and the fire was spreading. Cries and wails could be heard coming from the county government office.
The entire Yinshan County was in a mess. Some people organized servants to go to the county government office to put out the fire, but as soon as they entered, they were scared out of their wits. They saw corpses strewn all over the place. Just the corpses of the bailiffs and servants numbered in the dozens. The chubby head of the county magistrate, Li Dequan, was hung high in the middle of the main hall of the government office. On the horizontal board that had the words "Mirror of Eminence" written on it, his eyes were wide open and filled with resentment and hatred.
Next to the horizontal board was a piece of white silk. On the white silk, a few words were written in blood: "I do good deeds without leaving my name. Please call me Lei Feng!"
Seeing the county magistrate's head, the people who had colluded with the county magistrate were terrified of this "Lei Feng." The common people, on the other hand, were secretly celebrating. Some people who had been framed by the county magistrate even secretly set up a memorial tablet for "Lei Feng."
At this time, Ye Xuan had already left Yinshan County on his horse and continued in the direction of Mount Hua.
"Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully served justice. You have been awarded 300 Chivalry Points. Mission completion:. When he left Yinshan County, he heard this notification in his head.
"I didn't expect to get 300 Chivalry Points just by doing it. It seems like this hidden mission isn't that difficult. From here to Mount Hua is at least a thousand miles away. As long as I do this a few more times, won't the reward be mine?" Ye Xuan thought happily as he rode on his horse.
Unfortunately, things in this world always went against one's wishes. For the next twenty days, Ye Xuan hurried on his way. On the way, he asked about injustice and served justice. He killed mountain bandits, robbed bad landlords and distributed their wealth to the common people, or killed evil tyrants and corrupt officials. He had completed dozens of cases all the way to the foot of Hua Mountain, but he had only received 433 Chivalry Points. In total, he only had 733 Chivalry Points. He was still far from 1,000 Chivalry Points.
Of course, along the way, other than gaining chivalry points, Ye Xuan also gained something that surprised him. Every time he did something good, he would say, "I do good deeds without leaving my name. Please call me Lei Feng." This made everyone think that Ye Xuan's name was Lei Feng. And because he had come all this way. They had to kill some corrupt officials, which made the Court of Justice very angry. The officials were appointed by the Court of Justice, and killing them was not only tantamount to rebellion, but it also touched the nerves of all the officials in the world.
As the saying goes, "Clean the prefectural magistrate for three years, a hundred thousand snowflakes of silver". In this day and age, if an official was not corrupt, would he still be an official? Now that there was a "hero" who specialized in killing corrupt officials, how could these officials tolerate it? One after another, they issued an arrest warrant. Not only did the name "Lei Feng Daxia" spread throughout several provinces, but it also spread throughout the world in a short period of time.
As for our "Lei Feng Hero" Ye Xuan, he had already reached his destination. Hua Mountain.
In the small town at the foot of Hua Mountain, because this place was within the sphere of influence of the Hua Mountain Sect, ordinary thieves would not dare to come here and cause trouble, not to mention the officials in the town. Therefore, not only was the town safe, but there were also a lot of shops. The business was flourishing.
Ye Xuan did not immediately go to Hua Mountain. Instead, he first found an inn to stay. While eating, he inquired about the recent happenings in Jianghu, and also learned about the Hua Mountain Sect. Then, he returned to his room and took out a stack of yellow talisman papers, a writing brush made from the fur of a white fox, a jar of fine cinnabar, and a jar of three-year-old pure Yang rooster blood and black dog blood.
As early as ten days ago, Ye Xuan had already condensed ten wisps of magical energy and was able to begin learning how to craft talismans. These were all tools for crafting talismans that Ye Xuan had spent a great deal of effort to gather along the way. Every single item was not easy to obtain. For example, these seemingly ordinary talisman papers were different from ordinary yellow paper. According to the "Maoshan Secret Techniques", in order to be compatible with the fluctuations of magical energy, these talisman papers required the addition of dozens of herbs, as well as a secret technique. Just this alone took him several days. Not to mention the talisman brush that was made from the White Fox. According to the "Maoshan Secret Techniques", the best talisman brush was made from the fur of monsters. However, where in this world could Ye Xuan find monsters? Besides, even if he did find one, with his current magical energy, he would probably only be able to provide it as food. Therefore, Ye Xuan settled for the next best thing. Along the way, he asked around with hunters and was finally lucky enough to find a White Fox. He bought it for a high price of one hundred taels and used it to make a talisman brush. Not to mention, he spent three hundred taels of fine cinnabar and spent five days looking for pure yang chicken blood and black dog blood. Along the way, he spent at least half of his time on these items.
He took out a small inkstone and poured a little bit of cinnabar on it. Then, he added the rooster blood and black dog blood and ground them into cinnabar. He spread the talisman paper on the inkstone and picked up the talisman brush. He held his breath and concentrated for a while. Then, he suddenly opened his eyes and a strand of transcendence energy surged towards the tip of the brush. He raised his hand and the brush fell down. His strokes were like dragons and snakes, and a mysterious talisman gradually appeared on the talisman paper.
Suddenly, the transcendence energy at the tip of the brush stopped. Then, the talisman brush in Ye Xuan's hand trembled and a strand of transcendence energy dissipated to the side.
"Sigh, I failed again." Ye Xuan sighed and looked at the talisman paper that was two-thirds completed. He shook his head and picked it up and put it aside.
Apart from the materials used to draw the talisman, the most important thing was that the transcendence energy at the tip of the brush had to flow smoothly when drawing the talisman. This was just like a circuit board. If there was a blockage in the circuit board, then the circuit would not be able to flow smoothly. If the transcendence energy on the talisman could not flow smoothly, then the talisman would not be able to be used when casting spells. Moreover, it could even cause the talisman to self-destruct.
However, even though the drawing of this talisman had failed, Ye Xuan did not lose confidence. Because in the beginning, he could not even draw a single stroke of the talisman. But after ten days, he could already complete two-thirds of the talisman. Perhaps after a few more days of practice, he would be able to draw the simplest Tranquil Talisman.
Picking up the talisman brush again, Ye Xuan dipped it in cinnabar and took a deep breath. Once again, he circulated his transcendence energy and lowered his head to practice drawing talismans.
Some people say that time passes the fastest when you are serious. For the entire afternoon, Ye Xuan locked himself in his room to practice drawing talismans. By the time he came back to his senses, it was already nightfall.
After practicing for the entire afternoon, even though he still did not succeed in drawing a talisman, he had improved a lot compared to before. At the very least, he could draw two strokes more smoothly. He believed that in a few days, he would be able to draw a complete Tranquil Talisman.
"Hmm!" Stretching his body, he exhaled a long breath of foul air. Then, he put away the items on the table along with the useless talisman paper.
After putting away the items, Ye Xuan tidied up his belongings. Then, he opened the door and headed towards the direction of the Mount Hua Sect.
