Outside Xiangzhou City, Chen Fangzhuo and others stopped in the mangroves to wait. Ye Yi'an drove into the city first. After finding Lei Yun in the state government office and explaining the whole story, he personally led two teams of policemen. Chen Fangzhuo and others were introduced into the city with two bullock carts carrying corpses. Perhaps it was because the little fat man was quick to talk, or perhaps because he saw the official documents from the state government, the news that Ye Yi'an was jointly recommended by Fang Zhushan and Ziji Gongxu to be the ninth-grade Renyong captain has been known to Lei Yun. Along the way, Lei Yun sighed for this. He not only praised Fang Shijun for his sharp eyesight and ability to think about his subordinates, but also praised Ye Yi'an for his talent, destiny, and boundless future. Invisibly, the gap between the two people that had been caused by Ye Yi'an being too popular when he was the deputy capital leader naturally dissipated. Ye Yi'an said very little and was very humble and polite. He could understand Lei Yun's mood. When serving in the official offices of the Tang Dynasty, there is a distinction between internal and external officials. Officials of the ninth rank within the internal flow are officials, and officials of the ninth rank outside the internal flow are regarded as officials. Officials within the flow are respected by the first grade, and officials of the first rank by the external officials are also regarded as the first. high. Lei Yun has endured for so many years, and at nearly fifty years old, he has finally reached the rank of first-class Liuwai, which is extremely rare, but in the official system, because he is Liuwai, even if he is a first-class official, he is still an official, which is not considered In the Code of the Tang Dynasty, officials are divided into three categories: official, good and debased. There is a huge difference between "Liu Wai" and "Liu Nei", between "Liu Wai" and "Liu Nei", between "Liu Wai" and "Liu Nei". Even the words on the tombstone can't be beautiful, let alone decorate the family style, honor the ancestors and benefit the descendants. However, if you want to move from outside to inside, from a clerk to an official, one step is as difficult as a natural chasm, how difficult it is! How can this heart disease not break out in the face of the fact that Ye Yi'an has already reached the ninth level at such a young age? If Ye Yian continued to act arrogant and complacent at this time, it would only arouse jealousy, and it would be too unethical. Of course, the most important thing is that Ye Yi'an doesn't take this Zhengjiu Grade seriously at all. To him, it's nothing more than a floating cloud. What he values ????is only real power that can be used by me. After the trip, after settling Chen Fangzhuo and others at Sanyangsheng Medicine Store, and notifying the state Yamen Xingcao of the reasons for the deaths of Yin Nansheng and Huang Yuqiang, Ye Yi'an turned around and went to the Governor's Mansion to look for Xu Xiang. The fluttering Xu Xiang of Ge's robe still lives in the thatched cottages in the back garden of the Governor's Mansion. After hearing Ye Yian's announcement, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face, "Yin Nansheng and Huang Yuqiang are dead!" " Their bodies have been handed over to the head of the prefecture government office, Lei Yundu, and the executioner has also been notified. In a few days, the prefecture office should issue an announcement to arrange for public burning of the corpses." Yin Nansheng and Huang Yuqiang are, after all, the leaders of two factions. , how long did it take for Ye Yi'an to take over, and he actually killed the two of them. Such speed was surprising enough. What was even more surprising was that he did not use his power at all to handle such a big thing, and even mentioned it. Not even mentioned. The Ziji Palace has a respected status, but because of this, the staff is extremely tight. Although compared to ordinary Taoist temples, its scale can be said to be huge. However, excluding the old immortals who had never stepped forward among the Taoists, and then spreading it over such a vast area as the Tang Dynasty, the number of available people that Ziji Palace could send to the place seemed to be too few. If this were not the case, Xu Xiang would not be responsible for monitoring the east and west gates of Shannan alone. Although he can find suitable casual cultivators in the local area and recruit them, the Wu Sanguan of the Yulin Guard cannot be given as long as he can, otherwise the official department will not even think about it. After all is said and done, Ziji Palace may not lack anything, the only thing it lacks is available people. This also requires that the casual cultivators he selects and recruit must have outstanding abilities, otherwise Xi Xuxiang and others will be too exhausted to take care of them. From this point of view, Ye Yian's first action after accepting the call was amazing, "Tell me, how did you do this?" Ye Yian told the whole story in detail, and Xu Xiang heard that Yin Nansheng and Huang Yuqiang After intending to merge Hongfeng Xiaozhu and Lanshan Jingshe into Fengge Mountain, a faint sneer appeared on his face, "For many years, the leaders of the two sects bowed their heads to a nephew and asked for acceptance. How difficult it is! If no one mentions it, "Yin and Huang absolutely cannot figure out this move. This matter must be the beginning and end of Xu Sheng." Hearing this, Ye Yi'an's expression remained as usual, but he secretly thought that Xu's understanding of the Xiangzhou casual cultivator community was far deeper than he imagined. , I really need to pay more attention to this when getting along with him in the future. After that, Xu Xiang did not interrupt again, and it was not until Ye Yian finished speaking that he asked: "What do you mean, do you want to use Tianji Valley's hand to gather and control the Xiangzhou casual cultivator world?" Ye Yian nodded. "Why Tianji Valley and not Fengge Mountain" "Fengge Mountain is the model set by Xiangzhou Taoism in the casual cultivation world. The owner of the mountain is now practicing in Xuandu Temple Jilai Academy, so his relationship with Taoism is too close. As for Tianji Valley, they have a grudge against the Taoist sect for exterminating their sect and killing their relatives. Without the support of Ziji Palace"It is really difficult for you to stand on your own, and judging from the nature of the current Tianjizi, the possibility of him taking the initiative to betray Ziji Palace is extremely small." "The first reason you mentioned for choosing Tianji Valley is enough. It is extremely rare for you to abandon your sectarian views on this matter. Yin Nansheng and Huang Yuqiang also did a good job. They grasped the timing accurately and took action cleanly and neatly. Ye Yian, just go ahead and do it. I have high hopes for you." "Thank you, Immortal." He smiled softly and said to Ye Yian After another glance, he said calmly: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. Today's special merits for removing the Yin and Yellow plus the night of clear clouds and chaos are enough to apply for reward merit. Tell me, what merit reward do you want to apply for? Pill? Kung Fu? Even if you want money, you can ask for it." And such a good thing? Ziji Palace is really grand! Hearing this, Ye Yi'an's eyes lit up. There was no need to think about it. He bluntly said that he was also a Fulu monk, hoping to learn the virtual appearance in the night of clear clouds and chaos. The lightning talisman cast "You want to learn the thunder spell of Shenxiao?" " Shenxiao Thunder Method! Hearing these four words, Ye Yi'an's head jumped suddenly and his breathing became faster, "Is that the Shenxiao Thunder Method? Isn't Shenxiao Thunder Technique a white talisman technique? Why did the Immortal grow up that night" For the Fulu monks, Shenxiao Thunder Technique can be called the supreme existence among talisman arts. This is the most miraculous and also the most well-known talisman technique. , not one of them. It is so well-known that even the common people in the world have heard about it, just because Shenxiao Leifa is the only name of the talisman that will appear in the imperial decree. Every year, every capital or place encounters a long-lasting disaster. When there is a severe drought and all methods such as offering sacrifices to the heaven and earth, worshiping the Dragon King, etc. are exhausted and fail to work, the emperor will ask a high priest to perform the thunder method of the sky to pray for rain. After the drought is relieved, the high priest will often be replaced. The imperial court rewarded and conferred the title of "Zhenren". In addition to many other praises in the canonization edict, an indispensable item mentioned that the canonized person was superb in Shenxiao's thunder method and benefited the people of the country. Therefore, Shenxiao's thunder method is widely known. In order to spread the word, compared with other talismans, this kind of talisman with powerful magical powers that can communicate with the heaven and earth and call the clouds and rain simply makes the Fulu monks feel excited and excited when they hear it. Those who can perform this method are also recognized by the people all over the world. It's a pity that although the name of Shenxiao's thunder method is spread all over the world, the method of this thunder method is too mysterious. Except for the rare real people canonized by the imperial court, no one knows about it. With this background, as a Fulu monk, Ye Yi'an heard that what Xu Xiang performed that night was actually the Shenxiao Thunder Method. The thunder method can also be used to attack the enemy with the black talisman technique, so how can one not be inexplicably excited? "It is too old-fashioned and too narrow to forcefully distinguish talisman techniques by black and white." Xu Xiang simply nodded and stopped. He explained more about the Shenxiao Thunder Technique, but shook his head to Ye Yi'an and said: "I have to break my promise. The Shenxiao Thunder Technique is actually a secret method that is not taught outside the Ziji Palace. You can't learn this." "It's difficult for me now." Not from Ziji Palace? " "No one who is not a Taoist from the Ziji Palace can learn from it." Like someone pouring cold water on his head, Ye Yi'an's excitement and anticipation suddenly turned into deep disappointment. All the Taoists from the Ziji Palace have to go through it. The emperor personally teaches Taoism, and the number of places is so small that it is almost negligible. It is more difficult for scholars to pass the exam, and it is as good as reaching the sky. But Ye Yi'an has no intention of wearing that Taoist robe. It was almost doomed that he would never have a chance with Shenxiao Leifa. How cruel is this for the monk Fu Lu? Seeing Ye Yi'an's expression of depression, Xu Xiangchun, who understood his mood, added comfortingly, "If you really are. If you want to learn, try your best to become a Dharma protector. For you, this is the only path to the thunder method of Shenxiao." "Dharma protector Sanren? ¡± After Xuxiang explained it, we found out that there are eight Dharma protectors in the Ziji Palace, whose status is comparable to that of real people. These Dharma protectors who are so mysterious that even Xu Xiang has never seen them are all from Sanxiu origins, and they have all established Only with the power of Qingtian's protection can one enter the most mysterious Sutra Pavilion in the Ziji Palace with the Emperor's permission, and then learn the Divine Sky Thunder Technique. Only one of the eight Dharma protectors is allowed. Only when someone becomes a new protector can one become a new protector. Ye Yi'an shook his head. Isn't this more difficult than becoming a Taoist priest of Ziji Palace? But with the buffer of this explanation, his mood calmed down. Although Ye Yi'an is persistent by nature, he is not stubborn and understands some of the principles of Tiandao Shaoquan. The reason why Shicai is so excited about a talisman technique is just because he first learned the Shenxiao Thunder Technique from his master. The magic of talismans is just the highest dream hidden in the minds of young people. Everyone has their youth.Every young boy has brilliant dreams in his heart. He was so eager to learn the Shenxiao Thunder Technique. After he calmed down and touched it carefully, it was difficult for Ye Yi'an to tell clearly. What was it that made his heart beat with excitement as soon as he heard it was this talisman that was passed down as an immortal magic? Art is still the same youthful feelings and youthful years. In Ye Yian's rare absence when talking to others, Xu Xiang changed his suggestion again, "If you are not interested in elixirs, how about I teach you a horsemanship?" Compared with just now, Ye Yian faced another one at this moment. He felt much calmer when he had never heard of the name, "What is the Jia Equestrian Technique?" "The Jia Equestrian Technique is another type of long-distance speed travel technique that is different from shrinking the ground into an inch and flying with a vehicle. It does not rely on elixirs. Driven by force, the essence is still talismans. "Although the explanation of the virtual phase is extremely simple, Ye Yian heard the huge practical value contained in the armor and horsemanship, and his interest also increased. "Compared with spells that rely solely on one's own elixir power, the disadvantage of Talisman Technique is that the speed of the spell is slow, but the advantage is that it can rely on the natural power of heaven and earth, and one's own elixir power is only used as a spiritual medium. There is a huge gap between the two in terms of elixir consumption requirements and spell power. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The only way he can use the power of movement is to shrink the ground into an inch, otherwise he has to control the weapon. Although Shrinking the Earth is easy to use, due to the realm of cultivation, the distance is very limited. Moreover, another disadvantage of using this technique is that you cannot observe the surroundings at the same time and can only deliver at a fixed point. This is nothing in normal times, but it is a huge worry when the situation is changing rapidly. "Shrinking the ground into an inch" technique is like this, and flying with a vehicle also has disadvantages. The main manifestation is that the elixir power is consumed too quickly and too much, which is really not conducive to long-distance flight. If there is a talisman technique that can be used for long-term benefits, its core value is to give Ye Yi'an more freedom, which will greatly expand his scope of activities, and this will bring about many changes and opportunities. ? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away? Isn¡¯t it just to gain more and wider freedom? Because of the "Secret Technique of the Chrysalis Butterfly", Ye Yi'an has a limited need for elixirs, at least on the current path of cultivation, and the popular path is simply unavailable even if he wants to take it; also because of the "Secret Technique of the Chrysalis Butterfly", other methods It has no attraction for him either. The most valuable thing at the moment is the talisman. Without too much consideration, Ye Yi'an looked at Xu Xiang and said directly: "I will learn the horsemanship." The process of learning first made an oath that he would never teach the horsemanship to anyone unless Xuxiang agreed. Then there is the learning to draw the armor and horse talisman, and then to memorize the clouds, finger tips and gang steps that are integrated with the talisman. During this process, Ye Yi'an's learning ability once again impressed Xu Xiang. After learning, Ye Yi'an's first cast of the Armored Horse Talisman as an experiment went extremely smoothly. After the talisman floated out and ignited without wind, a majestic five-flowered horse suddenly appeared from the void not far in front of him. When Ye Yi'an stepped forward and reached out to touch the real, flesh-and-blood body of Wuhualianqianma, his brows suddenly raised, and he turned his head to look at the virtual phase, "Is Armored Horsemanship a type of summoning?" Summoning is a talisman. It is a branch of talisman arts, and it is also the most difficult, most powerful, and most difficult to learn among the talisman arts. Other talisman spells are mostly driven by talisman diagrams, but attack talisman summoning spells all need to be driven by talisman arrays. In addition, it is extremely strict in terms of the time for running the talisman and the cultivation level of the talisman practitioner. Because of this, let alone there is no way to learn it, even if there is a way, most talisman monks will also learn it. Respectfully. If nothing else, just drawing a complete set of talisman arrays in one stroke is already extremely difficult. Not to mention that the elixir power required to drive this talisman array is simply massive. Because one talisman can drain all the elixir power, how many talisman practitioners are willing? Is this kind of talisman really practical for fighting? Fortunately, this horse-armor technique is an auxiliary spell in the summoning technique, otherwise Ye Yi'an would be happy again. Seeing that Ye Yi'an was about to speak again, Xu Xiang waved his hand first, "Don't ask anymore. It won't be too late to ask again when you have made great achievements and applied for the reward." There really is no free Hu cake in the world, even if Ziji Palace makes a bold move. Ye Yi'an suppressed his strong thirst for knowledge about summoning, dismissed the five-flowered money horse, and began to experiment with the second armor-horse talisman. But this time, Futu showed no response. Xu Xiang's voice came faintly, "Are you trying to summon a dragon or a phoenix with this talisman?" "Qilin" Hearing this, Xu Xiang smiled, "Like dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, etc., they are all transformed by the spiritual auspiciousness of heaven and earth. With your current level of cultivation, you just want to summon them? And you don¡¯t have to try those well-known ferocious beasts?"It's all in vain." "Straddle the flying dragon and travel through the nine heavens. This is a dream that many practitioners have dreamed of! "Then at what level of practice can we call the dragon and attract the phoenix? " "Yuanling Jinzhen, it's not too late to try again when your cultivation realm breaks through to the realm of true elixirs." After hearing this, Ye Yi'an decisively pushed the idea of ??crossing the dragon and the phoenix back to the deepest part of his heart. "The learning of armor horsemanship is completed , Ye Yi'an was not in a hurry to say goodbye. For him, who is actually a Sanwu monk, having the opportunity to chat with Xu Xiang is actually a kind of learning. While chatting, Ye Yi'an thought about the vision of heaven and earth he saw at the Tianji Valley Reserve Base last night, and then said it casually. His original idea was to use Xu Xiang's extensive knowledge to solve his doubts - the dark big sky. What is hidden in the depths of the lake that can actually stir up such a strange phenomenon in the world? Who would have expected that before he finished his description, the virtual image suddenly stood up, and with a crisp sound, he didn't even notice that the tea cup had been knocked over. Xu Xiang is not a person who can't hold his breath. Even on the night of clear clouds and chaos, he has never lost his composure when facing a life-or-death crisis. He has always been indifferent in subsequent contacts, but at this moment The strange phenomena of heaven and earth. What is there in the big lake that makes him so excited? Xuxian stared at Ye Yi'an without any explanation. He gritted his teeth and said only three words: "Take me, now."
