Chapter 142 Crow Nine (5K)
Yao Jiu's words are full of strong confidence, and the smile on the corner of his mouth is as contagious as those eminent monks.
In addition to the Haotian Daomen on Taihao Mountain, the Academy is the largest and most powerful gathering place for practitioners in the world.
Sensing energy, hiding body, listening to rain, patrolling clouds, candle sky, each state is progressive, and there will be no lack of practice materials to make progress.
Based on Li Ang's estimation, with sufficient materials such as fine gold and orichanite, he should be able to reach the cloud patrol state within a few years, and become one of the handful of geniuses with the fastest cultivation speed in the history of the academy.
This progress is already terrifying,
Yaojiu claimed that Zhaoming, the future he opened up, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to compare with Haotian Daomen or the school as a whole.
"As I said, the Academy is conservative and self-styled."
Ya Jiu raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "It should have been mentioned many times in the Xuegong National History class. At the end of the former Sui Dynasty, various practice sects fought with warlords. The warlord with the surname stood out, wiped out the practice sect and other warlords, established Yu State, and ruled the world together with Xuegong.
Most of the people in Yu State know about this period of history. The only problem is that it is incomplete, or part of it has been deliberately concealed. "
Ya Jiu paused and said: "Those cultivating sects have completely different philosophies and interests, and they are involved in long-term melees for self-protection or driven by ambition.
betrayal, assassination, inducement, deceit
Various means emerge in endlessly,
The long-term chaos caused these sects to try their best to improve their strength regardless of the cost.
The quickest way to gain power is to practice magical skills that are eager for quick success, or use special alienated objects.
The result is that the competition situation deteriorates rapidly,
Most practice sects have begun to practice magic-like techniques, or abuse alienated objects.
In fact, the alliance between the Li family and Xuegong is not the main force for exterminating the practice sect.
The latter largely killed each other and died together.
Part of the legacy of each sect, along with the monks of the sect fleeing to hundreds of thousands of barren mountains, endless seas and other places, drifted outside the country of Yu, and took root in other places.
For example, the academies established in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Xijing and other countries imitated the Academy.
Part of it was received by the alliance of the Li family and the Academy—to this day, this rich legacy has not been exhausted, and a large part has been sealed up.
The academy has made a lot of cuts to those ancient cultivation methods, and removed the parts that they thought were inappropriate, and limited the originally flourishing cultivation categories to the five types of talisman, technique, sword, mind, and body, and formulated a formula based on this. A step-by-step training system. "
Yu Jiu curled his lips and said: "The ancient practice technique, which is as bright as stars, has declined in Yu State.
There are only some rural monks left among the people, and there are millennium families like Qiwang with five surnames, and one or two shadows can be seen.
And we, Zhaoming, have the training system of the academy and thousands of ancient spells for practicing. "
"Is it."
The strange expression in Li Ang's eyes was fleeting. He felt it was strange a long time ago. In the history books, the monks of the former Sui Dynasty had many unusual methods.
There is a method of cursing—make a straw man out of the enemy's hair and specific materials, and nail it through with spikes to curse and kill the opponent.
Have a body and turn into sword light——Some ancient cultivators can merge with Jianguang when they are still in the cloud patrol realm, and the heart's desire can be reached in an instant.
And weird sorcery—raise dead bodies from graveyards and transform them into immortal, mindless puppets burning with soul fire.
Or by devouring flesh and blood, the severed limbs can be reborn.
Even if you don’t study with the purpose of becoming stronger,
These ancient practices are also very interesting in themselves, and can provide new solutions to problems.
"We have materials on ancient practice techniques that exceed the scale of the academy, and you can see them anytime you want."
Crow Nine smiled and said: "Besides, we can also provide you with various alienated objects to assist in your cultivation.
What the Academy can give you, we can also give.
What the Academy cannot provide, we can still provide. "
"Sounds good."
Li Ang nodded, "Then, what is the price?"
"Price"
Yu Jiu smiled and said: "There is no price. In other words, the only price is loyalty.
We are the future of the world.
Being loyal to us is being loyal to yourself. "
It is really not convincing to say this from a person who was still intimidating just now.
Li Ang was still indifferent in his heart, nodded and said: "I can join, the benefits are, how to contact."
Li Ang doesn't really believe what Crow Nine said, no matter if it's three parts true and seven parts false, or seven parts false and three parts true,
Without evidence to support this content, it will be treated as a lie.
However, this does not affect Li Ang and the other party's hypocrisy.
"this."
Yu Jiu threw a square iron piece over, and Li Ang stretched out his hand to catch it.
The iron piece is about the size of a palm. It is rectangular and brownish red. There are some flowing moiré patterns engraved on the surface, and there is a tadpole-like pattern in the middle. Under the light, it seems to move by itself.
"Similar to the communication order of [Short-footed Insect]. When there is news, I will use this to contact you."
Yu Jiu said: "I can try to recruit new members in Chang'an, but whether to let you join is up to other people to decide. I will notify you when the time comes.
In Zhaoming, the greater the contribution, the more benefits will be obtained.
This is the same as the Academy, so I don’t need to remind you. "
"good."
Li Ang turned over the iron sheet twice, and put it into the cloth pocket on his waist.
Mosi showed a moderate desire to devour iron pieces, which was slightly stronger than the same amount of pure gold.
It is estimated to be some kind of alienation.
"It went smoother than I expected."
Seeing Li Ang accepting the iron plate, Ya Jiu nodded with a smile, "It seems that you are indeed not a group of disciples who can't think independently and only know to follow the orders of the academy."
"Is there any reason for me to refuse?"
Li Ang glanced at Crow Nine faintly. The other party claimed to have controlled the lives of Song Shaoyuan and Aunt Song. With the information unknown, Li Ang did not want to take risks and tear the face off with the other party.
"ha."
Yu Jiu smiled, as if knowing what Li Ang was thinking, and said: "As long as you become one of your own, I will let people stop monitoring your relatives and friends.
Necessary precaution, isn't it. "
Li Ang did not comment,
Currently, as for the Zhaoming claimed by Yajiu, we only know that Junqianzi, a school traitor, has a large number of ancient practice techniques, and has alienated objects and is willing to use them.
As for the leader of the organization, the size of the organization, the structure of the organization, the purpose of the organization, the principles of conduct, the rules for internal promotion, etc., I don’t know anything about it.
It is necessary to further inquire about information.
"The shortest is seven or eight days, and the longest is one month. I will prepare a gift and a task for you."
Ya Jiufeng waved his hands lightly, turned sideways, looked at the row of women from Pingkangfang who had been kidnapped under the dilapidated Buddha statue, and asked, "They will be next. How do you plan to solve it? "
Li Ang asked back: "What do you think?"
"Don't keep them. Whether it's the yamen servants of Wannian County in Chang'an, the police of Dali Temple, or the soldiers of the Zhenfu Department, they may find out about them and find clues pointing to you."
Yao Jiu said casually: "The best solution is naturally to let them keep silent."
Li Ang said expressionlessly: "Didn't Zhao Ming say that he wants to change the world and let more people live a better life?"
"Yes, everyone has the right to happiness. The problem is that some people have more rights than others."
Yu Jiu pouted and said: "Don't think how innocent these Pingkangfang women are, living in that environment will inevitably lead to degeneration.
Many of them will help the madam to supervise and suppress the women who just entered Pingkang Fang,
Or trick a good woman into slipping,
Or beat and scold their maids, forcing them to fall into the world of mortals like them. "
Li Ang was unmoved, and Ya Jiu's words were obviously suspicious, and he still asked: "The fact that so many people are missing at once will only make Wannian County, Dali Temple, and the Zhenfu Division look away, and it will increase our attention. risk of exposure.
Doesn't Zhaoming have the means to erase and modify memories? At least help me cover it up. "
Yao Jiu also said how kind and selfless Jun Qianzi was before. As his disciple, he backhandedly threatened Li Ang with the lives of Song Shaoyuan and Aunt Song, and vaguely intended to kill these Pingkangfang women to silence them.
Leon Li Ang couldn't help wondering whether Zhaoming's internal thoughts were unified and whether there were principles in his actions.
"No trouble, I have already designed it in advance."
Ya Jiu said casually: "I didn't kidnap them out of the city, but as a distinguished guest of Chang'an City, I invited them to board the boat.
As long as you fake the illusion that the honored guest drank too much and was left unattended, causing the boat to catch fire and sink the boat to the Qujiang Pond,
It can be justified in Zhenfusi and Dali Temple-every year in Luoyang, Chang'an, there are dozens of nobles who die chasing happiness for various reasons.
Once and for all. "
After finishing speaking, Ya Jiu lightly flicked the handleless long sword at his waist.
I saw a rippling water light, spreading around with the scabbard as the center.
The long sword did not fly out of the scabbard,
But the row of women struggled even more desperately—the lake water mixed with algae flowed out from the corners of their mouths, and they tried desperately to scratch their throats with their bound hands.
The scabbard on the side of Yajiu's waist is also an alienated object. He flicked the scabbard with his fingertips again, and the expressions on the faces of the women became more painful. They fell into a drowning situation, and their struggling movements became more intense.
Regardless of the pain, several people put their fingers into their mouths and scratched their throats desperately, but they still couldn't stop the inhaled air from getting thinner and thinner.
clang!
The sharp voice sounded in the ruined temple,
Ya Jiu lowered his right arm, and blocked Li Ang's hand knife from swinging towards the scabbard.
"Risheng, what are you doing?"
Ya Jiu squinted his eyes and asked.
"I don't like to cover my tracks this way."
Li Ang said indifferently, "Stop."
".Can,"
Yu Jiu smiled and said: "As long as you can stop me."
He stood on the spot without moving, and the two governors on both sides had already rushed up, flanked each other, and punched Li Ang.
The bodies of the two judges were full of long needles, but their movements were unhindered.
stepped out, the stone slabs underfoot cracked,
Two phantoms of tigers and wolves appeared out of thin air from behind, staring at Li Ang with scorching eyes, which made his heart throb for no reason.
Li Ang didn't know the internal cultivation method of the Zhenfu Division, but in the physical education class, the teacher Ren Jiao once taught similar martial arts.
[Fierce appearance] Washed the whole body with animal blood for several years, and then used bone meal as the main material to tattoo the pattern of strange animals on the back.
Once driven, it can call out the fierce appearance of strange beasts, deterring the weak.
The most powerful martial arts master can even scare thousands of troops and stop them from moving forward just by their aura.
The two pacifiers and magistrates controlled by Crow Nine were both at the level of acquired warriors, and the ferocity aroused caused Li Ang to stay where he was, motionless.
Just as the fists were about to hit,
Li Ang drew back suddenly, took a step back, avoiding the fists of the two judges,
At the same time, the palms stabbed out like lightning, hitting the soft flesh on the inside of the two elbows.
Squeak!
Li Ang tensed his fingertips, and his fingers sank into the judge's elbow, and he pulled out half of the long needle from it.
The ferocious appearance of a warrior is aimed at the human heart,
Activate the subconscious fear of poisonous insects and beasts in human beings, making people subconsciously pause and dare not move.
Only by walking frequently between life and death and overcoming instinctive fear can we resist the influence of the fierce appearance when we meet for the first time.
It just so happened that Li Ang watched the moss in his body devouring the metal every day, and thought about the possible scarred appearance in his body. His nerves had been trained to be extremely strong, and he was not affected at all. Instead, he grasped this fleeting moment. Chance.
sand-
Li Ang's hands were like surgical tweezers, and he pulled out the long needle in the elbow of the two judges with precision, and dropped it to the ground together with the blood stained on it.
The movements of the two judges froze suddenly, and the arms that swung out seemed to have been pulled out of bones, and they collapsed uncontrollably.
Regardless of the specific conditions of the two judges, one thing is certain—Yao Jiu controls their bodies through long needles.
The long needle was pulled out, making the two of them become stiff instead.
Li Ang stepped forward, turned sideways, passed through the gap between the fists of the two judges, and came to Ya Jiu, holding the scabbard at his waist with his left hand, and exerting strength.
Squeak—
The scabbard itself began to make the sound of metal twisting, and the ripples of water light lingering in the ruined temple trembled violently.
Ya Jiu's pupils shrank, and a long needle was held between the index finger and middle finger, and it stabbed Li Ang's eyebrow.
At the same time, however, Li Ang's **** of his right hand hovered in front of Ya Jiu's neck, and it only took a little force to crush his neck.
"You are not in a hiding place."
The two sides stared at each other, and Ya Jiu said softly: "It seems that the alienated objects in the tomb of the Sword Immortal are indeed magical enough."
Li Ang said expressionlessly: "Let them go."
"If I say no"
Before Ya Jiu finished speaking, Li Ang increased the strength of his fingertips, causing his neck to tighten suddenly.
"Okay okay, you win."
Yu Jiu reluctantly put down the long needle hovering in front of Li Ang's eyebrows, waved his palm, and the ripples of water light lingering in the ruined temple dissipated by themselves.
The women in Pingkangfang also coughed up the lake water one after another, and regained their free breathing with tears streaming down their faces.
"This alienated object is the legacy of the former Sui Zongmen Lihuagu, and it is the only one in the world."
Ya Jiu rubbed his faintly blue neck, pulled out an old piece of paper from his bosom, curled his lips and said, "It's called [Forgetting Lovesickness]. A third-level alien. Just draw a portrait on the paper and paste it on the face on, it can make people forget the memory related to the portrait.
The more detailed the portrait, the better the effect of clearing memory.
Only effective for ordinary people and low-level practitioners.
I will completely erase the memory of these Pingkangfang women about you, so the head office will be fine. "
Li Ang said calmly: "Show me."
"trouble."
Ya Jiu pouted, pasted the paper on the wall of the ruined temple, took out the charcoal pen that would be used in the academy from his arms, and drew Li Ang's portrait on the paper, and finally covered the paper on the paper one by one. The faces of those Pingkangfang women.
By the end of the demonstration, all the women fell into a daze.
"Are you satisfied?"
Yu Jiu spread his arms, and saw that Li Ang finally nodded, so he snapped his fingers.
Ordered the two controlled pacifiers to pick up the long needle from the ground and stab it into the elbow again,
At the same time, several carriages were called, and each carriage had a coachman—their expressions were a little indifferent and dull, and they were obviously controlled by Ya Jiu.
"I will let the coachman drive them to the painting boat in Qujiang Pond in Chang'an City, and finish the play. Their memory about you has been erased. Even if Jiao Cheng's mastermind sends monks to investigate, they can only find something is wrong. , can't contact you."
Yao Jiu said: "Do you want my people to drive you back to Chang'an?"
"No, I'll walk back by myself."
Li Ang glanced at the coachmen who were helping the girls from Pingkangfang to the carriage with the same expression, feeling a chill all over his body.
God knows how many Crow Nine's puppet eyes and ears are inside and outside Chang'an City, and how many people are secretly controlled by Crow Nine—
Chang'an City has a population of 3 million, and some strange species are hidden in it, like a few drops of water mixed in the sea.
In the conflict just now, both of them clicked to stop,
The two Zhen Fusi judges did not draw out the simple swords at their waists when they attacked, but only used fierce looks and fists and feet,
Li Ang didn't release his real power—he knew that he was with Zhaoming, and he still had enough value to use. Ya Jiu spent so much effort not to tear his face apart in a hurry.
However, just judging from being able to control so many people at once, Yajiu's real strength definitely surpasses most of the professors in the academy, even doctors.
Thinking about it this way, the description of Zhaoming's strength doesn't seem to have much water.
"it's up to you."
Yu Jiu spread her hands, watching the back of Li Ang walking out of the ruined temple and disappearing into the wilderness,
The expression suddenly became dull without any warning.
Same as the two judges and those coachmen.
Pata.
The last woman in Pingkangfang, wearing a long blue dress and sitting under the Buddha statue, stood up from the ground.
Like the other companions, her hands and feet were bound by cloth, her eyes, ears and mouth were covered. She also struggled violently and suffered a lot during the drowning crisis just now.
Tear—
She supported her hands with a calm expression, and easily broke the rags that bound her wrists.
Raised his hand again and tore away the cloth covering his face with tears still remaining,
revealed a deserted and beautiful face.
"interesting."
The real Ya Jiu raised his chin slightly, looked at the direction where Li Ang was leaving, and murmured.
The voice disappeared in the howling night wind of the ruined temple.
