You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 128 What’s left behind
After walking for another day after leaving the deserted village, Zuo Chen and Cai Yi were now very close to the dense forest.

From the map, there is a small town next to the Great Forest, called Linsen. It was a checkpoint specially set up by King Wei, mainly to monitor the many people coming in and out of the Great Forest.

The soldiers at the outposts needed to be supported by farmers after all, and there was quite a distance between here and Dongshui, so it was not realistic to rely on caravans and horse carriages to transport them back and forth. It just so happened that there were many birds and animals in the shallow areas of the dense forest, and the soil was quite fertile, so farmers were sent here to build a village and provide food.

After a long time, the wall was built and it became a small town like this.

Seeing that it would still take some time to reach the city, Zuo Chen reached out and picked up the backpack next to him.

This was left behind by Tang Qi before his death, and was placed in a relatively intact wooden house in the village.

I haven't looked at it since I took it out.

Zuo Chen did not open it directly, but handed the backpack to Caiyi.

Caiyi was stunned for a moment, then she opened the lid with her hand.

There are some simple objects placed inside, two thin books, a mask, and a wooden sign.

Caiyi first picked up the mask, played with it in her hand for a while, and found that there was a buckle under the mask. If she touched it slightly, the whole mask would change immediately.

It is an item often used by Huamian Langjun, and it should be full of face-changing techniques.

Put it away carefully.

He picked up the wooden sign again and took a look at it, and found that it was just an ordinary sign, but it had three big characters "You Chang Qing" engraved on it.

After a quick sense, I didn't find any unique abilities, and I don't know what it is for. Maybe it's just a badge representing an identity.

Just put it aside for now.

Finally, he took out the two books and found that one of them had no words written on the cover, while the other had the words "Tianshi Fragments" written on it in a large gold-plated brush.

However, for some reason, when Caiyi touched the remaining scroll of the Heavenly Master, she suddenly felt a little uneasy. Her palm shook subconsciously, and the book fell directly onto the donkey cart.

Zuo Chen also frowned slightly.

He didn't feel anything when it was placed in the bamboo basket just now, but now that it was taken out, he also sensed that there seemed to be an unpleasant and familiar aura in the Heavenly Master's fragments.

It seems to be exactly the same as the red Taoist in the wilderness before!
"Cai Yi, let me take a look."

Caiyi nodded, suppressed her nausea, picked up the book by a corner, and put it in Zuo Chen's hand.

Zuo Chen also opened it and started reading.

When the pages of the book were turned, Zuo Chen frowned tightly. He could feel a strong and disgusting breath coming from it.

Although the quantity is extremely small, its purity is even better than that of the Red Taoist at that time!
Looking at the contents, I suddenly found a line of small words left by Tang Qi on the first page:
"Cai Yi, this is a scroll left behind by the capital. It contains the truth of the way of heaven, but also contains layers of inner demons. If you want to learn, please study with the Taoist first."

Looking inside, I found an article on cultivation methods, which also mentioned various magical powers performed by street performers.

Obviously, this is what Tang Qi learned.

According to the poem that Tang Qi sang at that time, he should have gone to Kyoto and obtained part of the capital's inheritance by chance, which was this book of cultivation method.

He practiced according to this book of cultivation methods, and after so many years, he became half a land immortal.

Zuo Chen followed the handprint and his brows furrowed more and more as he looked.

The core cultivation method in the entire book is very similar to his Taoist scriptures, and even large sections of text are the same. However, there are thick black air wrapped around a few key words. If a few lines or even a few words are changed, the entire cultivation method will be very different from the original Taoist scriptures.

If you continue to practice according to this book, what you are cultivating is not the heart of Tao, but the heart of the devil!

No wonder at the very beginning, Tang Qi marked it as containing layers of devil's heart. It seems that by the time he finished practicing, he had realized that something was wrong with this thing.

If you continue practicing according to this method, your character will naturally be affected. This is the chapter on the devil in the heart of Taoism. The scripture starts with evil, and then the devil in the heart is born. As a result, after going around in circles, first a flower-faced man who practices magic skills appeared, and then a beggar named Tang appeared.

But why is this scripture like this?

As his fingertips lightly slid across the blackened fonts, Zuo Chen felt a strong sense of heaviness.

Faintly, Zuo Chen seemed to see huge black waves surging.

There was a flash of lightning in his eyes, and the black wave immediately disappeared.

Zuo Chen seemed to have sensed something and turned his head slightly to look towards the distant north.

He heard the sound of waves.

He also heard the sounds of painful wails.

What he saw just now was just the tip of the ocean of suffering.

The waves are huge and all living things are sinking and floating.

Just by looking at the thick malice, one could tell how many lives it had devoured.

He snorted coldly, picked up the scripture, and blew gently upwards.

The bitter aura that lingered above suddenly dissipated.

The handwriting that had been covered up and modified returned to its original appearance. Looking at it again, it was almost the same as the ideas in his Taoist scriptures.

After doing all this, he checked again and found that there was no major problem. Then Zuo Chen handed the scripture to Caiyi.

"Just practice according to the instructions. If you have any questions, just ask me directly."

Caiyi took the book carefully.

Seeing Caiyi's expression, Zuo Chen remained silent for a moment and said:
"Cai Yi, there are some problems with this practice method. It can easily lead to people becoming possessed."

"Hmm?" Caiyi was slightly stunned: "Master, you mean..."

"What do you think?"

Zuo Chen did not reply, but just asked Caiyi.

Caiyi was silent for a long time.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "I think the old man's transformation may not have much to do with this Taoist scripture."

"how to say?"

"Every past life will influence and shape a person. Perhaps the technique he practiced can easily lead a person to the devil's way. But if the world was peaceful enough, he wouldn't even have the opportunity to come into contact with this Taoist scripture."

"Then what do you want to do?"

Hearing Zuo Chen's question, Caiyi's eyes finally lit up again.

“The world is in chaos now. Although I don’t have the ability of a Taoist priest, I also think that those who kill people are wrong. If the world is peaceful, at least there won’t be so many ghosts in the world.

"I was born in troubled times, and I have only heard of the world from storytellers. Although I don't know what it is, I think it must be a wonderful place.

"I want to try my best, no matter if it's possible in this life, at least if I have a child in the future, I hope she can see that peaceful and prosperous world."

"Good." Zuo Chen nodded with a smile.

Caiyi carefully put away the cultivation method and picked up the booklet with no words on the cover.

A little confused, I opened it.

But I found that it was a densely packed list.

"Qiu Shan Guo, formerly known as Zhang Bai, from Huai Town, Jingzhou. He likes to walk around in the halls, is good at changing his identity, and is a Taoist who curses people."

"Mo Wenlu, formerly known as Luo Yi, from the big city of Qingzhou, likes to go to the hall and is good at getting information..."

All the information about these people was written in detail above the entire roster, including what they are good at, where they live, their original names, and their status in Xiao Huanxi. Some of them even had a small painting attached.

Caiyi was a little stunned, and then she showed this thing to Zuo Chen.

After just a quick glance, Zuo Chen's expression became a little strange.

This thing can basically be considered Xiao Huanxi's lifeline!
Tang Qi had said before that he was tricked by Xiao Huanxi's boss and had to go to the gambling village to start forming a formation. This means that Xiao Huanxi is actually similar to Wu Xiangwang and is a sect that is hostile to him.

This group of people mainly play tricks and cheat, hiding in the dark and doing things like mosquitoes, very annoying.

Now, with such a list in hand, most of the Little Joy members were basically exposed in front of Zuo Chen.

This is not...

One slap each?

I looked back and found that the last page mentioned these three people.

"The Flower-faced Young Master, formerly known as Tang Qi, is from Hongtou County, Xuzhou. He is a little happy and has a long right arm. He is a half-step earthly immortal and is good at performing the complete set of plays."

"Laughing Buddha, original name unknown, birthplace unknown, Little Joy Zuo Changqing, half-step land immortal, good at evil and Buddhist methods."

"Little Joy Boss, bitch."

Although there is no specific information marked on the Laughing Buddha, there is indeed a small painting next to it, which shows that it is a fat monk with a gentle face and a smiling face.

As for the Little Joy Boss who was called a bitch, he had nothing. It seemed that even Tang Qi couldn't get his real information.

But even so, it does not reduce the preciousness of this booklet.

"Master, can this be used?"

Caiyi asked.

Zuo Chen nodded:

"Of course it can be used."

……

After entering the Linsen City Checkpoint, you will see a busy street in front of you.

There are mostly wooden houses on both sides of the road, but they are all built quite grandly. The vendors on the street here mainly sell meat and fruits, supplemented by grain and food. Some cloth shops and clothing shops are mostly traveling stalls, and they simply set up a few racks on both sides of the road, hang clothes on them, and let them flutter in the wind.

One can tell at a glance how great an impact this dense forest has on Linsen. Almost every household depends on this forest for their livelihood.

After Zuo Chen and Cai Yi, this strange combination, entered the town, they indeed attracted a lot of onlookers' attention. There were few strange people in this small town, and Taoist priests riding donkeys were naturally rare. However, most of them just took a glance and then looked away, minding their own business.

Zuo Chen looked around and saw that it was getting late, so he patted Donkey Grandpa's head and pointed to the small restaurant next to him.

The donkey immediately understood what he meant and trotted towards that direction.

When we arrived outside the tavern, we saw a shed at the door with a few horses parked there, and even a servant who was specifically looking after them.

Zuo Chen got off the donkey cart and went in with Caiyi. The servant saw that he had left the donkey cart here and rolled his eyes at him, muttering to himself:

"Leave this stupid donkey here, don't be afraid of being bullied by these horse uncles!"

After he finished muttering, he was about to continue feeding the horses with hay, but suddenly he found that these horses seemed to have seen a flood or a beast, and they couldn't stop shrinking back.

The young servant was puzzled, and looking left and right, he discovered that the person these Mr. Ma seemed to be avoiding was the donkey that was leisurely pulling the cart.

I couldn't help but be surprised.

What kind of donkey is this, to scare the horse like this!
After entering the restaurant, I found that it was not too lively. There were not many people eating there, and even the waiter looked listless.

There was a group of warriors at the table next to them, drinking and eating meat, and discussing things loudly. It was quite a lively scene.

That way the horses outside are theirs.

They called the waiter and ordered a pot of tea and some snacks, and the two of them waited here.

At this moment, a group of warriors nearby seemed to have had enough to drink. One of them lowered his voice and said to his companions:

"Have you heard? Qushou Pavilion was destroyed!"

Grandpas, please give me monthly tickets!
