Sunset, official road, cool wind.
There was another young man covered in blood.
Chen Yun looked at the decapitated female corpse lying on the ground and stood there silently for a long time.
To be honest, if given a choice, he truly did not wish to kill Lin Ruyun.
But this woman is incredibly malevolent, not only attacking me without distinction of right and wrong, but also inciting Liu Gui Bai and Zhang Qing to repeatedly cause trouble for myself and those close to me.
Chen Yun believes that if he does not kill the other party today, perhaps in the future, as his cultivation increases, the other party will not dare to come for revenge. However, Zhang Gan, Lin Chen, and even the parents, brothers and sisters of the small village cannot expect to live peacefully.
"I can't sleep or eat in peace without killing you!"
His gaze became firm.
In "Taiping Jing," it advocates living a joyous and rewarding life.
The "Spiritual Treasure, Boundless Degree of Personage, Upper-Class Wonders of Dharma" speaks of the virtue of longevity and the boundless saving of beings.
The Taoist philosophy has always been to respect life and does not advocate for taking human lives.
This can be seen from the fact that when Lin Chen brought the group down the mountain to drive away ghosts and encounter dangers, Wang Laozhi asked the other party, "Where did you go wrong?" This shows that the ideas of Chuan Daoguan also believe that "human life is more important than heaven."
Chen Yun, who has been under the influence of Daoist culture for a long time, naturally does not want to take someone's life.
Only in his heart, family and friends are far more important than anything else.
Therefore, in order to completely eliminate the trouble, he cannot let Lin Feiyun go unpunished.
"If this leads me into the path of demons, I have no regrets!"
Chen Yun firmly believes that his choice is correct!
At the same time, he felt very moved in his heart. He had been in this world for seventeen years, and had been practicing Daoism for half a year. This Lin Feiyun was like the first "BOSS" he encountered while playing a level game in his past life. It once made him feel helpless, but finally he won with the help of leveling up and "treasures".
That overwhelming sense of achievement made him feel as though his spirit had been elevated, as if he had broken through some barrier, and his mind became crystal clear.
It's like parting the dark clouds to see the clear sky.
"In fact, if she hadn't been angered by my words, maybe I would have to use the two magical items of flying needles and thin dogs to win this battle of proving myself."
Chen Yun couldn't help but shake his head, "Not even forcing out my last card, Lin Feiyun, your death is not unjust!"
Thinking of this, he wanted to treat his wounds first and then find a place to bury the corpse of Lin Feiyun.
To prove himself and eliminate potential future trouble.
Chen Yun naturally had to give the last respect to a boss he encountered on his path of cultivation.
If it wasn't for the other party's coercion, maybe he wouldn't have cultivated so quickly to a level close to an junior mage.
He was about to use the method of "Accumulate Essence and Refine the Body" to generate essence and repair his injuries.
Suddenly, Chen Yun saw that the wounds on his arms had already healed and scabbed over!
More amazing to him was that he had done nothing, but his wounds were healing at a visible speed!
"Hmm?" Chen Yun hesitated, "Why is my wound healing so fast?"
Suddenly, he remembered that there was an introduction in "Accumulate Essence and Refine the Body": if practiced to some level of proficiency, injuries would heal quickly and return to their original state.
If one reaches the level of medium success, their flesh is as strong as steel, capable of achieving true invincibility to swords and spears.
If one can reach the level of great success, they will be able to remain unchanged by all four seasons, withstand both hot and cold, water and fire, and almost achieve the feat of moving mountains and rivers with their physical strength.
"I didn't realize that I had inadvertently reached a level of success in accumulating essence and refining the body."
Chen Yun pondered and said, "Moreover, I really didn't expect the accumulating essence and refining the body cultivation method to be so magical. My wounds, although they did not affect the root of my flesh, were still very serious for ordinary people. It would take a few months to heal without a decent cure. The battle with Lin Feiyun I just fought seemed like a long time, but in reality it was only a few minutes. Those serious injuries had already healed, so it seems that in the future, I need to pay more attention to this cultivation method rather than just casually practicing as I did before."
If possible, it would be best to integrate accumulating essence and refining the body into his Daoist cultivation method.
Since the wounds were healing quickly, Chen Yun decided not to bother with them any further.
He glanced around, noticing many pits and ditches, clearly left by Lin Feiyun when he had cast the Zi Wei Shen Zhou with full force.
Chen Yun thought for a moment and then knelt down to try to pick up Lin Feiyun's body to bury it.
As soon as he sat down, he saw a embroidered silk scarf quietly lying beside Lin Feiyun's corpse.
"This embroidered silk scarf seems to be Lin Feiyun's artifact when she cast the Zi Wei Shen Zhou."
Chen Yun thought for a moment and reached out to pick up the embroidered silk scarf, putting it away in his storage ring. He had basically memorized the mudra, incantation, and Qiang steps Lin Feiyun used when casting the Zi Wei Shen Zhou. With this scarf, he wondered if he could copy and use the spell. He wanted to take it back to try it out.
If it's really effective, then, I can have a powerful means of self-defense!
However, Chen Yun estimated that it would be unlikely, as most spells and incantations have specific energy paths and need to be combined with one's own cultivation strength in order to be released.
He had only observed the "form," without understanding the core essence, so it was indeed difficult to replicate.
"Whether it's possible to replicate the Zi Wei Shen Zhou or not, this scarf is still an extraordinary magical artifact, and there must be other functions. I will take it back and experiment with it slowly."
It might have been the sight of the scarf that prompted Chen Yun to have the thought of "touching the body."
He reached out and searched the body of Lin Feiyun.
To his surprise, he did indeed find some strange things.
For example, there was a small pouch hanging from his waist, filled with two or three small porcelain bottles containing three different kinds of pills, the contents of which were unknown.
In addition, Chen Yun also discovered a "medallion" in the secret pocket of her sleeve. This medallion bore the four large characters "Huang Jin Lishi," which appeared to be a magical artifact for summoning the sacred statue of Huandin Lishi. It could also be a magical artifact for directly summoning Huang Jin Lishi.
He didn't understand it immediately and just threw everything into his storage ring.
What makes Chen Yun feel rather disappointed is that he did not find any cultivation techniques or secret magical arts during this search.
But he was about to learn more powerful magical techniques under the guidance of his mentor, Chen Yun did not feel too disappointed.
Burying Lin Feiyun's body.
Chen Yun picked up a square wooden block and carved a tombstone on it with a small stone. The tombstone had Lin Feiyun's name on it, but he couldn't guess her age. After all, she only said that she had been cultivating for 34 years, but didn't say when she began her cultivation.
Finally, he carved a poem on both sides of the tombstone: Enraged with three thousand zhang, All turn into flying petals and streams.
Without looking back, Chen Yun walked back towards the Enzhong Mountain.
After this battle, my great grievance has been avenged and my heart's knot has been untied. It's time to fully immerse myself in breaking through to junior mage status!
...
On the way back to Chuan Daoguan, Chen Yun was still reciting the incantation formula of "Zi Wei Shen Zhou," making gestures with his hands, and even trying to walk the array formation. He wanted to see if he could replicate it.
Perhaps it was because he was too focused.
As he entered Chuan Daoguan, he didn't notice the greetings from several new junior disciples; he was so engrossed in his thoughts that he walked straight towards the inner courtyard.
Unexpectedly, he almost collided with someone in front of him!
Chen Yun lifted his head in a hurry and found that it was Zheng Wen Shu.
He quickly bowed and said, "Met Senior Brother Zheng."
Zheng Wen Shu smiled and asked, "Brother Chen, seeing you with disheveled hair, did you go and fight someone? Moreover, you seem to be in a daze and still holding the mudra of Zi Wei in your hands, and even walking the array formation. Are you specialized in studying Zi Wei?"
Chen Yun cleared his throat and said, "Zi Wei Hui? It's not Zi Wei Shen Zhou?"
Zheng Wen Shu laughed helplessly and said, "Where did the Zi Wei Shen Zhou come from? All true spirits have names, but they cannot be lightly called, and all must be avoided. The Zi Wei Hui is the short form of avoiding the name of the Zi Wei Dashihuangdi, who controls heavenly and earthly lines and governs celestial phenomena such as sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, various gods and spirits as well as natural phenomena like seasons. It can summon wind and rain, command lightning and ghosts, use this Zi Wei Hui to borrow a fraction of the divine power of Zi Wei Dashihuangdi to obtain supernatural power. Of course, different Zi Wei Hui have different effects."
Chen Yun asked with humility, "There are more than one kind of Zi Wei Hui, right?"
"Of course, there are many more." Zheng Wen Shu introduced in detail: "Zi Wei Hui includes Zi Wei Neihui, Fubomati Zi Wei Hui, Shafazhi Zi Wei Hui and so on. The common ones are made up of cloud head rain characters and ghost feet mo characters, possessing the divine power of Zi Wei Dashihuangdi. Zi Wei Hui can be decomposed into the three official four sacred ones, south and north dou and so on. In addition, the total number of strokes in the Zi Wei Hui is twenty-eight, which also corresponds to the twenty-eight star constellations within it to a certain extent, showing that Zi Wei Hui can be widely used for expelling evil spirits, calming ghosts, subduing demons and ghosts, slaying enemies, collecting startled souls, warding off evil spirits and so on. Different schools in our Daoist sects also have different techniques when using 'Zi Wei Hui' or related spells."
When he said this, he paused for a moment and said, "I noticed that your hand print, array formation and the Zi Wei Hui you chanted were quite ordinary. If used, they would not be as powerful as Tianpeng Kezhuo."
Chen Yun's eyes lit up, "Senior Brother, do you know the Tianpeng Kezhuo?"
Zheng Wen Shu looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Master did not teach it to you, so I'm not supposed to privately teach it to you. However, I can guide you a bit about the Zi Wei Hui."
Alright, if I can't learn Tianpeng Kezhuo, that's it.
Learning the expelling evil Zi Wei Hui is enough to satisfy Chen Yun.
Looking at Zheng Wen Shu with pleading eyes, he said, "Only ask senior brother."
Zheng Wen Shu said, "I remember that to use the Zi Wei Hui, a magical artifact is needed, usually a medallion. Do you have this kind of Zi Wei Hui medallion?"
Chen Yun took out a silk scarf from his storage ring and said, "When I fought that demon woman, she seemed to be using the Zi Wei Hui through this silk scarf."
"Demond woman?" Zheng Wen Shu frowned, fingers flicking over there as if calculating something.
After a while, he looked at Chen Yun with a peculiar expression, smiling sarcastically, "You're in trouble! Master will definitely punish you with seclusion when he comes back! Hahahaha!"
Chen Yun: "..."
"Give me the silk scarf." Zheng Wen Shu stretched out his hand to take the silk scarf and looked at it. Then he pointed to the flower pattern in the middle of the scarf and said, "Do you see the three characters 'yujin er'?"
Chen Yun moved closer to take a look and said, "Saw them."
Zheng Wen Shu nodded and said, "When you recite spells, make gestures, and walk the array formation, inject your true qi into this magical artifact 'Yujian Er', you can easily use the Zi Wei Hui. Of course, if you want to use the Zi Wei Hui without relying on an artifact, it is a bit difficult. You need to draw the Zi Wei Hui with your own true qi in your body before reciting spells, making gestures, and walking the array formation." He then detailed the specific techniques.
He told Chen Yun how to perform the techniques without relying on an artifact.
At the end, Zheng Wen Shu also corrected some minor mistakes in Chen Yun's hand prints and Qiang steps.
As for the spell, it's fine.
Chen Yun suddenly remembered that the Zi Wei Hui he got from Liu Guibi seemed different from the spell Lin Feiyun recited. He asked again.
Zheng Wen Shu told him that the one from Liu Guibi was a sealing type of Zi Wei Hui, with power similar to the one mentioned earlier.
Of course, he also taught Chen Yun the incantation formula, hand prints, array formation, and movement methods.
Chen Yun didn't expect that by accident, he learned the wrong Zi Wei Hui from Lin Feiyun and was able to learn two complete Zi Wei Hui from Zheng Wen Shu.
Thinking back to Lin Feiyun's full-force use of the Zi Wei Hui and the astonishing power it unleashed, and now that he has learned how to use it, Chen Yun couldn't help but feel delighted.
Since cultivating, I have finally learned two powerful "magical arts".
However, Chen Yun was only slightly pleased.
Because at this moment, his heart was more looking forward to the day when he could become a junior mage and his mentor would teach him even more powerful arts.
Absolutely.
He secretly looked forward to it.
Because he was looking forward to it so much.
Chen Yun couldn't wait for nighttime at the hour of Zǐ Shí to come as soon as possible.
That way, he could once again refine his essence into qi and strive to reach the level of a junior mage!
Chen Yun believed that perhaps he could cultivate to become a junior mage within these two days.
