Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow.

The next day, an imperial decree from the palace was delivered to the Bingmasi Yamen.

Just as Ji Bochu said, Emperor Ji Zikong agreed to his request and summoned him to the royal armory, so he was no longer responsible for finding the murderer.

Seeing Ji Bo act so quickly, Shen Qing vaguely felt that the other party seemed very anxious, as if he couldn't wait to have him enter the royal armory.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Shen Qing's mind became more serious.

Night falls.

The candlelight in the Shen Mansion flickered, illuminating the room.

The master bedroom is bright.

Shen Qing's figure was stretched out in the candlelight, swaying gently and floating up and down.

He just sat on the chair and waved his hand. Three small flags flew out of his sleeves silently and were inserted around him.

Shen Qing made a hand gesture and the triangular flag fluttered in the wind, emitting a yellow glow, forming an inverted bowl shape that enveloped him and completely isolated the inside and outside of the house.

During these days, he kept patrolling with his subordinates, and used the abilities in the "Hunting Sutra" to skillfully erase all traces of his presence in and outside the city on the day of Xue Zhao's death, whether overt or covert, without leaving any flaws.

Now, even the old guys in the city who had been here for many years could not find out that it was he who killed Xue Zhao.

Looking at the yellow hazy isolation formation, Shen Qing finally felt an indescribable peace in his heart.

At this time, he confidently took out an exquisite and small treasure bag from his arms.

This was exactly the spoils obtained from Xue Zhao that day.

Xue Zhao had just died, and many people in Kyoto were watching him, so for the sake of caution he had not looked through the book.

Now that the storm has gradually subsided and he has nothing to do, he can take a good time to count the spoils.

Shen Qing looked at the black treasure bag in his hand. It was only the size of a palm, slightly larger than the treasure bag that Lan Gongliang gave him.

He relaxed his mind and touched the treasure bag with his spiritual consciousness.

Unexpectedly, when this divine thought was about to penetrate the bag, a slight wave blocked it outside.

There were actually some restrictions left by Xue Zhao in the treasure bag.

Shen Qing was not in a hurry.

For him who has already broken through the Yuanshen realm, it is not difficult to erase this restriction.

His mind moved, and the aura around him quickly restrained.

The next moment, an extremely sharp spiritual consciousness burst out from his body, wrapping around the restriction like a thin thread and quickly peeling it off.

This process is not a simple violent destruction, but rather guiding the energy flow in the restriction little by little, eventually causing it to lose its original form and turn into nothingness, restoring the treasure bag to its original state.

puff.

Shen Qing vaguely heard a hint of silent sound in his consciousness, and the restrictions in the treasure bag were easily erased by him.

At the moment when this restriction completely lost its effectiveness, the treasure bag trembled slightly, releasing a faint spiritual light, which produced a subtle resonance with the vitality of heaven and earth in the outside world, and the door opened wide.

Shen Qing's eyes lit up. After making sure there was no other danger, he immediately activated his soul and controlled the treasure bag.

Under his command, the mouth of the treasure bag gradually opened, and a bright light overflowed from it, illuminating the entire room.

If he hadn't set up the formation in advance, the strange phenomenon would have been impossible to conceal.

I'm afraid there are a lot of good things in here.

Shen Qing used his spiritual sense to look inside and saw that the treasure bag was filled with all kinds of treasures.

There are pills that emit a warm luster, each of which contains amazing medicinal power and a fragrant smell; there are also various types of armor that are shining with precious light, with a faint blood-colored aura flowing on them, faintly revealing a sharp murderous aura; there are also various colors of demon pills, demon bodies that are shining with strange light, and so on.

In addition, there were various common items used as rewards, such as silks, satins, gold, silver, treasures, and wish-power beads, which amazed Shen Qing.

It is worthy of being a noble family of the Great Zhou.

Just what Xue Zhao carried on him was enough to be considered the foundation of a noble family, and to rebuild a family.

If this is the case for a noble family, then how far has the Ji family, which has been dominant for nearly nine hundred years, reached?
Shen Qing took a deep breath, feeling that he was still far from being able to achieve his goal, and dared not be complacent or arrogant. He put away his thoughts and continued to search and pick up items from the pile of treasures.

"what?"

Suddenly, Shen Qing saw a plain book among the pile of treasures.

He moved his soul, took it out and placed it in the palm of his hand.

Four large characters were engraved on the cover in ancient seal script: Qiong Lie Xu Jue Zhan.

Other than that, there is no extra information.

Shen Qing opened the book, and just by looking at the words inside, he felt a strong shock, as if countless swords and shadows were intertwining and colliding in his mind.

He calmed down and looked through the book carefully, and gradually he realized that the book recorded a very powerful sword technique.

After practicing, one can cut mountains, split rivers and even tear the sky apart with one sword.

Seeing this, Shen Qing couldn't help but think of the scene where Xue Zhao cut the mountain in half with one knife.

"So the knife he used was called this name, and he was practicing this method."

Shen Qing looked at it carefully and found that the book was very worn, as if it had been read many times. There were many insights and experiences in it, which showed that Xue Zhao attached great importance to this martial art.

He recalled carefully and found that he had never seen this martial art in the royal armory, and he didn't know where Xue Zhao got this martial art from.

Shen Qing took another look at the writing style and the handwriting of the annotations and insights, and found that they were all from the same person. It was obvious that this book was copied together and was not the original.

He read it carefully from beginning to end and realized that this technique had its own unique features.

Coupled with Xue Zhao’s personal demonstration, the terrifying power made him somewhat tempted, which was even stronger than his current archery skills.

It just so happened that he was lacking a close combat technique at this time.

If mastered, this "Dome-Splitting Void Slash" might be of great use in the future.

Anyway, it's always good to have more skills, and it's not a bad thing to master one more martial art.

With the help of the panel, learning more martial arts would not be too much of a burden for him.

Without much hesitation, Shen Qing decided to practice this martial art.

He immersed his entire mind in the book, carefully feeling every detail and every charm of this sword technique.

The skill of 'studying and seeking the truth' was activated, which greatly increased the efficiency of his understanding of the skills.

In just a cup of tea, Shen Qing had almost fully comprehended this martial art.

Shen Qing put the book down, took out a portion of spiritual essence and a wish-power bead from the treasure bag, drew out the Lei Yuan sword, and pondered the true meaning over and over again, practicing the moves and mental methods.

Time passed little by little.

This martial art was of a high level, and it went from easy to difficult, with many annotations, making it easy for him to get into it.

Shen Qing's consciousness moved, and the ink panel suddenly appeared in his sight.

"Martial arts from ancient times?"

Shen Qing was surprised. He didn't expect that what Xue Zhao learned was a relic from ancient times.

So far, if he remembered correctly, the immortal martial arts in the royal arsenal were basically related to the ancient times.

What happened in ancient times that made the world become like this?

He became more and more confused. (End of this chapter)
