Destiny is ashes

Chapter 180 Jade Piece
On the way back to the teahouse, it was almost noon and the streets were becoming increasingly crowded.

It must be that the art of earth escape is magical, otherwise anyone could see the young boys and girls walking on the roofs and walls in such a brazen manner.

After returning to the tea shop, An Jing asked You Ruhui to take the initiative to cancel his earth escape ability which he only had for a period of time.

"What are you..."

The girl was a little skeptical about An Jing's mental state, but An Jing himself was very rational: "Don't forget, those people from the True Demon Cult have always wanted to attack the tea shop. The reason why they haven't launched a large-scale attack yet is simply because Aunt Huai is not very powerful. If they want, they can just drive them away violently that day. There is no need to rush."

"And now that I'm here, not to mention that they originally planned to capture me and sacrifice me, now they must think I'm troublesome and will find every opportunity to capture me and get rid of me."

"The more this happens, the more I will appear in front of them and make them lose their temper."

"That's fine. Let me find an opportunity."

You Ruhui could not raise any objections to An Jing's plan, which was both highly skilled and bold, but also quite logical when carefully thought out. She was completely led by An Jing and could only nod: "Then if you need me to bless you with... invisibility, you can come to me."

She also wanted to hide the fact that her earth escape was a magical power, but An Jing, who had already known the truth, was very perfunctory about it: "Yes, invisibility, I know it, I will come to find you."

"Ah... Anyway, let me help you."

After thinking it over, You Ruhui felt that An Jing's plan was a bit too "impulsive".

With a sigh, she clenched her right hand, and when she opened it again, a jade piece flashing with strange rainbow light appeared: "This jade piece can contact me. I can help you when you need it."

"How to help?"

Since the other party had taken the initiative to this extent, An Jing could not refuse. He took the jade piece and found that it was so thin that it would disappear if you put it on your body. You could take it off at will when you needed it. "It's quite convenient."

[I can build an altar and grant you invisibility remotely! ]

Without opening his mouth, You Ruhui's voice rang directly from An Jing's heart. The medium of communication was the piece of jade. An Jing looked at the other party thoughtfully, then nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

After saying this, An Jing, who had released his earth-escaping magical power, turned and walked towards the street.

You Ruhui stood in front of the tea shop for a long time. After An Jing had walked away, he didn't know whether to laugh or sigh. He shook his head and went back into the shop.

"This jade piece... is very good."

After leaving, An Jing thought in his heart: "It is comparable to the information warfare system of the previous life. We can communicate anytime and anywhere and bless each other's magic... If this method is used in the military formation, it will be invincible."

"Is this part of the power of the Emperor's Blood? Or... is this also related to the 'granting of the talisman'?"

With An Jing's knowledge and wisdom, he could naturally analyze that the seemingly simple ability of the jade piece was actually a simplified version of some extremely large and complex rituals.

It’s okay if you haven’t experienced it yourself, but if you have really experienced it... it’s really a bit itchy!
"It's rare to have a helper."

The Fuxie Sword Spirit also recognized You Ruhui's good intentions, but An Jing shook his head: "It's best not to have the opportunity for her to help me. You know, on the surface, her troubles are much bigger than mine. If the problem can be solved by myself, I won't give her the opportunity to cause greater trouble."

Thinking of this, An Jing didn't see many people when he came to the long street again.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier. The street vendors disappeared and most of the shops closed to avoid the snow. The few large shops that remained were also deserted.

The originally dry and clean streets were now covered with layers of gray-white snow. An Jing, who had personally experienced the frost disaster, knew that this seemed to be the peak snowfall in previous winters, but it was just a prelude. Soon, heavy snow that could cover half of the door overnight would fall. If it was delayed for a few more days, even the entire house would be covered, and a town would disappear silently in the vast whiteness.

However, Kanming City did not fall to this point. What arrived here was just the aftermath. The heavy snow lasted for more than half a month and only covered one or two floors of the buildings at most.

But it was enough to kill most of the people in Kanming City.

"The city must survive, the earth veins must not be disturbed, and the True Demon Cult must die."

These are the three major goals summarized by An Jing.

Only when the city is alive can it use its magical powers to drive away the wind and snow to guard Kanming City and protect the lives of nearly one million people.

The earth veins cannot be disturbed. Once disturbed, You Ruhui's ability to conceal his tracks will be broken, and he will be discovered by the True Demon Sect and Dachen. By then, this guy will definitely be surrounded by a lot of strong men, and he will not be able to escape. He has run enough and really doesn't want to have another exciting escape between the two worlds.

As for the True Demon Cult...

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Walking alone on the snowy road, An Jing suddenly laughed.

He laughed so heartily and optimistically that even the few pedestrians on the street were infected by his laughter and couldn't help but smile after turning their heads to the side.

But what An Jing was thinking about was how to kill all those true devil followers.

At this moment, An Jing 'just happened' to be near Li Zhen's pawnshop. Hearing the familiar laughter, the shopkeeper Li Zhen poked his head out to take a look and hurried out to greet him: "Hey, Master Jing, you are a distinguished guest..."

"Boss, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look much rosier."

An Jing looked at the shopkeeper. The weather had been very cold recently, and the other party was wearing a felt hat that covered his most conspicuous bald head, so he didn't recognize him at first.

In particular, the shopkeeper Li Zhen looked radiant, his face looked more radiant, and his whole spirit and energy were different.

"Hehe, to be honest, the talisman you had earlier was quickly bought by another distinguished guest. The other party was in urgent need of this kind of talisman that can calm the mind and spirit, so he was very generous in buying it."

Shopkeeper Li Zhen grinned, and with his belly puffed out, he invited An Jing into the store and called the waiter to pour tea: "I also heard recently that you helped a righteous man, but were embarrassed by the local constable... You are really a bad person! It's a pity that I was not there at that time, otherwise, I would have to vouch for you, Master Jing!"

He seemed indignant, but An Jing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. The detectives are also for the safety of the city. But..."

The young man asked casually, "I have a complete set of talismans. The hunting team certainly can't exchange them all. Who did I sell the rest to?"

Generally speaking, this kind of news cannot be told to customers, but Li Zhen, the shopkeeper, is about to be promoted to the main department, and he doesn't bother to care whether An Jing wants to bypass the middleman of Li Zhen Pawnshop and buy directly. For the sake of An Jing's personal friendship, he directly said: "Of course, it must be Chongyi Building."

"That hunting team is also one of the villages they support. It is said that Boss Lu is old and wants to break through the peak of his inner strength before his blood and energy are completely depleted. He wants to try to 'climb the ladder to heaven'. Now he is very generous."

An Jing raised his eyebrows. He had known this for a long time, so he pretended to be surprised and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Lu from Chongyi Building..."

If you think about it carefully, whether it is inferior blood pills or demonic sacrifices, they will affect people's souls. For these demons, the Heart-Concentrating Talisman is probably quite important!
Perhaps, in the future I could bring in large quantities of the Heart-Concentrating Talisman to sell, and then track down the places where the Heart-Concentrating Talisman is used, so that I can conduct a sting operation and catch the lurking evildoer?
