In the main hall of the platform, Xin Yao saw Yingxiong staring behind her and knew something was wrong. She looked down and saw that a shadow had appeared on the ground under her feet and was trapped in her own shadow.
She muttered to herself for a moment and suddenly moved half a step to the side with her bamboo sword in hand. She turned around and glanced to the side, but there was nothing there.
But when she turned around again, a black-clothed Taoist with a cold face was in front of her. The two of them were very close.
She was alarmed. Just as she was about to swing the bamboo sword in her hand, a black flame suddenly rose from the ground. The black-clothed Daoist was torn apart by the black flame and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The people and objects in the surroundings became alive again.
The black fire floated in the air and returned to Yingxiong's body.
Xin Yao adjusted her glasses and put her bamboo sword away. She asked calmly, "Senior Ying, what was that? A ghost? "
Yingxiong nodded.
Xin Yao thought for a moment. There were ghosts in ancient Xia, but most of them were transformed from mortals who had mastered a little cultivation. They couldn't exist for long.
However, there were also some heretical cultivators who deliberately sacrificed themselves. There was also another type of cultivator who had yet to succeed in their cultivation and had abandoned their physical bodies. There were some extremely special existences among them that could not be viewed with common sense.
She guessed that what she saw just now should be the last kind. But why did it appear here?
Her first thought was whether there was something strange about the platform that Madam An sold to her at a cheap price.
At this moment, she saw Yan Yuming with his head lowered and seemed to be thinking about something. She asked, "Martial Nephew Yan, do you know something?"
Yan Yuming raised his head and said, "I was just thinking. I seem to have heard Senior Qing Shu mention something similar. I'll go find him and ask him."
As he spoke, he turned around and ran out. After a while, Qing Shu walked into the hall with him. Qing Shu cupped his fists at the few of them and said, "Yan Shaolang told me about this matter just now. According to your description just now, I do know some things.
I heard from Teacher that this should be a person called Tan Jun. The Golden Eye Bureau also specially looked for Teacher about this. "
As soon as he came down, he gave a general account of everything he knew about the Tan Jun.
After Xin Yao heard about this Tan Quan's background, she knew that this person wasn't someone she could deal with. Originally, Xu Chengtong might have been able to stop this person, but this person just happened to be taken care of and went out. He hadn't returned yet. Fortunately, Ying Feng came today.
She raised her head and said, "Senior Ying, you found this person as soon as you arrived. Can you subdue this ghost?"
Ying Fu said indifferently, "This person is like an illusion. He exists only in your heart. As long as your heart is calm, you will be fine even if you see him."
Xin Yao muttered, "Tranquility?"
Yan Yuming was a little flustered. He said, "Then Senior Ying, how can we, the disciples, resist it?"
Xin Yao said, "Since Senior Ying said so, it has nothing to do with cultivation. It all depends on the cultivator's state of mind."
Yan Yuming said with a bitter face, "That's the case. But it's not a good feeling to be watched all the time. Besides, everyone has some private matters, right?"
Xin Yao nodded lightly and said, "That's also a problem."
After a cultivator cultivated Heart's Light or Mana, their body would be clean. If it was not out of habit, they would not need to bathe like a mortal and would not have any filthy things on their body. They would not be afraid of being watched.
But when they were talking to someone in private or when they were alone, how could they calm down when they thought of someone watching them from the side?
Yan Yuming said, "Senior Qing Shu, what would happen to those who were watched by this Tan Jun in the past?"
Qing Shu thought for a while and said, "According to what Mister said, they might be replaced by the original person."
Yan Yuming did not understand. "Replaced?"
Qing Shu said, "For example, if I am taken advantage of by him, then he will replace you and me as one of them, and those who are familiar with you and me will not notice anything wrong at all, and will still treat him as the original person. Maybe one of us would be replaced now, but others would think it was natural. "
Yan Yuming felt a chill run down his spine. This was almost taking a person's existence from the world. This was even more terrifying than killing a person directly.
Yingxiong's scarlet eyes turned to look at Qing Shu and said, "You're saying that this person has the ability to replace others?"
Qing Shu said, "Yes. This is what Mister said, so this matter was later handed over to the Golden Eye Bureau to deal with. But even though they have the Golden Eye, it seems that they have not really caught this person. "
Yingxiong said, "They should have caught him, but they could not get rid of him." He thought for a while and looked at everyone. "Maybe there's a way." As he spoke, a cluster of black fire suddenly flew out from his body and flew out in the blink of an eye.
Yan Yuming asked tentatively, "Uncle Ying, what's the way? What should we do now? "
Yingxiong said calmly, "Wait."
After a while, a short-legged young man with a bag on his back ran in, panting. When he reached the hall, he bowed to everyone and said, "Hello everyone, hello everyone. My name is Yi Dou. I'm learning from Mister Ying. You can call me Dou Zi or Xiao Dou."
Yan Yuming hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "Yi, um … Junior Dou."
Yi Dou moved the bag on his back a little higher and raised his head to ask Yingxiong, "Mister, what do you want me to do?"
Yingxiong said, "Take a good look at everyone here and just do as they say."
Yi Dou said energetically, "Okay!"
He strode over to Qing Shu, Yan Yuming, Xin Yao, and the others. He looked at each of them carefully and finally clapped his hands and said, "Okay!"
He walked to the side under the curious gazes of Yan Yuming and the others. He untied the bag on his back and then took out a large piece of secretly refined purple mud and threw it on the table. Then he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Watch me."
He dug out a small piece of the secret mud and kneaded it in his hand. After a while, he kneaded it into a small clay figure. It looked exactly like Yan Yuming, except that it had a big head and a small body. It looked just like a clay doll.
Yan Yuming exclaimed, "It really looks like him!"
Yi Dou moved very quickly. After Yan Yuming, he kneaded clay figures of Qing Shu, Xin Yao, and Yingxiong himself. They were all vivid and lifelike.
At this time, they suddenly heard a meow from above. Everyone looked up and saw Miao Danjun squatting on the windowsill, wagging his tail slightly and staring at the clay dolls.
"A kitten with intelligence?"
Yi Dou scratched his head and turned to ask, "Well, mister, do you want me to knead a kitten?"
Yingxiong didn't say anything.
Yan Yuming's eyes lit up and said, "Knead one. Just knead one …"
Yi Dou muttered, "Okay." He took out another piece of secret clay, and in just a few moments, he had also molded a clay statue of Miao Dan Lord, which was also very lifelike.
At this time, Yingxiong's black fire floated over the clay dolls. Then, he took back his clay figure and said lightly, "Take these back and carry them with you. Or put them in the quiet room. We'll see the results in a few days."
Yan Yuming stepped forward and took his clay figure. After thinking for a while, he took Miao Danjun's clay figure and put it on his body. He thought of something and asked, "What about the servants on the stage?"
Qing Shu picked up his clay statue and said, "I heard from the people of the Golden Pupil Bureau that this Tan Quan will only target cultivators. Those slaves are all ordinary people, so they shouldn't be a problem. Take me for example. If I didn't wear the outer armor, I think I wouldn't be targeted either."
Xin Yao stepped forward and took her clay figure. Then she turned around and said, "I'll arrange a place for Senior Brother Ying to stay here."
Yingxiong didn't refuse and followed Xin Yao to the stage.
Qing Shu and Yan Yuming didn't stay here any longer. Instead, they went back to their own residences.
At this time, Miao Danjun, who was squatting on the windowsill, suddenly stood up with his four paws and his tail erect. He stared down and saw a black-clothed Daoist standing there. The latter looked up and glanced at him before disappearing again.
At the same time, Xu Chengtong and his disciples were still waiting on a certain planet in the outer layer.
At this time, he saw a talisman flying from afar. He immediately became vigilant. When he saw the talisman floating in front of him, he cautiously went forward and took it. After looking at it, he showed a trace of joy and said, "The Patrol Officer is calling us back. Pack up and follow me back to Kui Mansion."
At this time, he turned around and saw that the four disciples were listless.
He was very dissatisfied and scolded, "If you can't even get through this small matter, how can I expect you to do big things?"
He thought to himself, "These guys aren't as useful as those Dao pawns. However, since they are following the Patrol Officer, I, Old Xu, am a good person. I can't use those Dao pawns anymore."
He immediately released the flying boat magic tool and carried the four disciples to the Heavenly Gate. Two days later, he passed through the Heavenly Gate and landed on Tanquan Island. He kept the flying boat at Boating Boat Rooftop and headed to Tanquan Island's residence.
However, when he arrived at the Earth Boundary, Xu Chengtong was surprised to find that the residence seemed to be enveloped by a cloud of Immortal Qi. It didn't look like a forbidden array.
He thought for a while and seemed to have thought of something. He opened his eyes wide and suppressed the excitement in his heart. He tidied his robe and scolded the disciples, "Wait for me here."
After the disciples agreed, he walked into the courtyard. When he was outside, he was originally upright. However, when he entered, he bent down. He then walked through the courtyard and came to the front of the main hall. He bowed and said, "Patrol Officer, I have received orders to return."
After waiting for a while, he heard a familiar clear voice, "Deacon Xu, come in."
Xu Chengtong took off his shoes and came to the hall. He glanced at the throne. However, he found that Zhang Yu was shrouded in a cloud of bright jade mist. He couldn't see his face clearly. He realized something and suppressed the excitement in his heart. He bowed and said, "Xu Chengtong greets the Patrol Officer!"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Deacon Xu, you did well before."
Xu Chengtong hurriedly said, "I was just following the Patrol Officer's orders. I don't dare to accept such praise."
Zhang Yu raised his sleeve and waved it gently.
Xu Chengtong was shocked to find that the wisp of Sword Qi that Zhang Yu left in his body had been removed and disappeared. However, not only was he not happy, he was also a little scared. He thought, "Oh no, the Patrol Officer removed the Sword Qi. Will he still trust me in the future?"
Zhang Yu said, "Now that I have achieved success in my cultivation, I have received an edict from Xuanting. I may go to Xuanting to report on my work in a few days. You can wait here first. I will make arrangements afterward."
When Xu Chengtong heard this, his whole body trembled. After a while, he raised his head. His eyes were slightly red. He put his hands together and said, "Xu Chengtong respectfully congratulates the Patrol Officer for reaching the upper realm!" As he said this, he bowed to the ground. He didn't move for a long time, only his body trembling slightly.
Zhang Yu glanced at him and said, "Deacon Xu, you can leave first. However, I, Tianxia, do not practice bowing. Remember not to do so in the future."
Xu Chengtong answered "Yes" and stood up obediently. He bowed respectfully to the seat and then retreated out of the hall.
When he walked out of the courtyard and stepped out of the door, he walked with his head held high. He looked at the bright sky outside and couldn't help but feel proud. "I, Old Xu, have finally made a name for myself!"
