If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 406 Inexplicable uneasiness

Xiaoyu felt like her heart was covered by a black cloth, with a stone on top of it, and the stone kept getting heavier.

She was really feeling a little suffocated, so she swallowed her saliva and asked Shaoyao beside her in a low voice, "Sister Shaoyao, how do you feel?"

She seemed to be the only one who was upset; at least no one else showed it obviously.

Shaoyao, who was standing next to him, was concentrating on watching Zhao Zhen's performance on the stage, without showing any abnormal behavior.

"It's a bit cold. If I had known I had to stand outside to watch the performance, I should have brought out the fox fur coat." Shaoyao shrank her neck, stamped her feet, and said in a low voice.

Xiaoyu was speechless: Is this a question of whether it is cold or not?

——Is it because my perception is too sharp?
That doesn't make sense. Even if the Seven Arrow Book is an ancient weapon, Zhao Zhen has already started the plan to destroy his father.

"The Warning Guanyin" not only established her authority and taught a lesson to those with evil intentions, but also took the opportunity to let a group of "immortal masters" start a great destruction of their father.

Among them was Zhao Zhen and his Seven Arrows Book.

At this time, watching Zhao Zhen practicing the Seven Arrows Book, using the spiritual eye of the heart to directly feel the energy of the Seven Arrows Book was very awkward, and did not speed up the deduction of the "method of killing Zhao Zhen by force".

Because the method to kill Zhao Zhen was completed long ago, and it was deduced in an instant.

The Seven Arrows Book might be very dangerous, but the process of casting the curse was too complicated.

Zhao Zhen is not as strong as her and can be killed by her face to face.

This can also be considered a "system loophole" of "Da Mie Ba".

Before Zhao Zhen used the Seven Arrows Book on her, the Seven Arrows Book could not be considered as Zhao Zhen's combat power.

It's not that he has immediate combat power, so Zifu can't deduce the method to crack the Seven Arrows Book. But it's not that he can't crack it at all.

Xiaoyu now knows that as long as he takes away the Book of Seven Arrows or destroys the scarecrow, the curse can be broken (ps).

It was so simple that she doubted whether this ancient secret technique lived up to its reputation.

In short, Zhao Zhen's holding of the Seven Arrows Book could not threaten her, and theoretically should not have triggered her spiritual perception, making her so irritable and uneasy, as if a heavy weight was hanging on her heart.

"Just bear with it, it shouldn't take too long." Xiao Yu casually comforted Sister Shaoyao, then looked at Li Rongji and asked softly, "Your Highness, the Seven Arrows Book must have a target. Who are you going to curse tonight?"

"Didn't Master Zhao say 'big monk' before? Judging from the clothes on the scarecrow, he should be an old monk in poverty." Li Rongji analyzed calmly.

Xiao Yu asked again: "What is the origin, identity, and strength of the monk?"

Li Rongji shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Xiao Yu looked at He Xuan, who was several people away, and asked softly.

He Xuan said calmly: "No matter what his identity or strength is, if his soul is locked by the Seven Arrows Book, he will die without a doubt, without exception."

"No exceptions." Xiaoyu looked thoughtful.

That is to say, before Zhao Zhen practiced the "Great Divine Power" of the Seven Arrows Book, he had already tested it on many people, and those people died?
She suddenly discovered a problem: she took it for granted that the target person participating in the Taoist magic demonstration tonight must be an unforgivable death row prisoner who deserves to go to the eighteenth level of hell, but the reality may not be so.

"Huhuhu~~~"

Just as Xiaoyu was daydreaming, a gust of cold wind blew into the reed shed from the southeast.

There is a black yin energy in the wind that is invisible to ordinary people.

The negative energy circled around the altar twice and finally gathered in front of the scarecrow, spinning non-stop. The black energy accumulated more and more, and gradually even ordinary people like Shaoyao could see it.

"Ah, there's a monk inside!" Shaoyao exclaimed in a low voice.

Xiaoyu felt even more uneasy.

In the center of the black gas vortex, there was indeed an old monk who was more than two feet tall.

Xiaoyu could see very clearly that the monk was about 40 or 50 years old, with an ordinary round face and a naturally bald head. He might not have shaved his head. There was nothing special about his appearance, but his expression and temperament made people feel that he was kind, honest and simple.

She wandered around the streets, observed all kinds of people, and studied the "Ten Worst Appearances", "Ten Lucky Appearances", "Ten Noble Appearances", etc. She was sure at a glance that the monk was 99% likely not a heinous death row prisoner!

Although the monk was in a wandering soul state at this time, he was wearing a brand new white monk's robe.

His eyes were closed, his brows were furrowed, and his cheek muscles twitched, as if he was experiencing great unknown fear and pain.

Zhao Zhen suddenly stopped the spell, shook his sleeves, and bowed three times respectfully to the scarecrow.

"Puff~~~" The black vortex in front of the scarecrow suddenly dispersed.

The old monk's wandering soul turned into black gas again, spread in all directions, and disappeared without a trace.

“The original Seven Arrows Book requires 21 days of worship before the killing ritual can be completed.

Now I only need to worship him for seven days, and at noon after seven days, I will shoot an arrow into the straw man’s heart, and he will surely die of fright and vomiting blood.”

Zhao Zhen walked down from the altar and said confidently.

"Is tonight's performance over?" asked the human immortal known as "Nine Flame Iron Hands" with a hint of disappointment.

Zhao Zhen said calmly: "You can stay in Zishan Villa, and the result will be known in seven days."

Master Xiang Tianshi, one of Li Rongji's three guests, asked, "Where is the cursed monk? What is his current condition?"

Zhao Zhen sneered and said, “The monk may be sleeping soundly now, but he must be groggy and can’t sleep well.

When he woke up, he felt even more heart-broken, his mind was frying in oil, he was emotionless and in a daze.

It looked like he was sick, or just in a bad mood, and there were no obvious signs of injury on his body. "

Li Rongji glanced at Xiaoyu from the corner of his eye and said, "This is exactly the terrifying part of the Seven Arrows Book. It is hard to guard against. Even if you are hit, you still don't realize it.

Until the final death, he was still confused and didn’t know what was going on, and became a confused ghost.”

He said to Tianshi: "If the monk does not know martial arts and Taoism, and is just an ordinary person, it is not a big deal for him to die without knowing it. Many spells can do that."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Master Xiang, do you know why I specifically chose the great monk to test my magic?
The monk had probably practiced martial arts for a few years, but he was not very proficient. He could beat up three or five bandits, but he was not considered a master.

But he practiced Zen for decades, and had a deep Buddhist flavor and a wise and spiritual mind.

Even if they are masters of human immortality, or even immortal masters who have achieved success in Taoism.

Do you have any method to cultivate your mind? How is your state of mind?
The great monk is definitely not as powerful as you.

But I can guarantee that his spirituality, his state of mind and his Taoism are stronger than those of some earthly immortals who only practice magic and do not understand the great principles.

If he is unconscious, his body and soul will be gone.

Any true immortal whose soul and mental realm is similar to his will definitely fall into the trap.

As for the immortals and mages who are stronger than him
Hehe, no matter how strong the internal force of a move is, it is useless in front of the Seven Arrows Book! "Master Xiang was shocked.

The others also showed a look of realization, and then looked at Zhao Zhen with fear and admiration.

There is no doubt that the Seven Arrows Book is aimed at the soul, not the body.

Whether one can withstand the curse of the Seven Arrows Book depends on the spirit and mind, and has little to do with hard power.

"We are ignorant and shallow. It is Master Zhao who truly grasps the core secrets of the Seven Arrows Book!" Master Xiang sighed.

Xiao Yu said, "There are many monks in Yingxiang Mansion, but there shouldn't be many whose state of mind and soul cultivation are stronger than that of earthly immortals, right?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "Xiao Fengxian, you still have little experience. Monks who live in temples and enjoy offerings from the people and eat their fill are naturally vulgar and their character is even worse than that of ordinary people.

But most monks who are willing to travel long distances to seek the true meaning of Buddhism, or to spread Buddhism, observe fasts and take vows, are devout Buddhists, and have extremely high spiritual cultivation.

——So the big monk who was used as a target was not even your enemy, but just an ascetic monk you were looking for on the road?
Xiaoyu nodded with an instructive look on her face, and her inner thoughts began to become confused.

Zhao Zhen looked around and said loudly: "My fellow Taoists, this performance will last for seven days and seven nights. We will observe the monk during the day and continue to cast spells on him at night.

The specific effects of each day and each step can be mastered.

During this period, you can stay in Beppu.

I have prepared guest rooms for you all, with wine, banquets and beauties."

Speaking of "beauties", Zhao Zhen frowned and turned to Xiao Yu and said, "Xiao Fengxian, do you and Miss Shaoyao want to return to Tianmen Town immediately? How about I let He Xuan escort you two?"

Xiao Yu glanced at the interested Red Leaf Sword Immortal and said with a smile, "I don't want to trouble He Jianxian. We can just take the carriage back by ourselves."

Zhao Zhen did not insist and immediately led everyone away from the "reed shed altar".

Li Rongji also did not plan to stay in Zishan Beppu overnight, but he did not say anything.

Only Xiaoyu and Shaoyao were led out of the door by the housekeeper named Li.

Fat Moler had already received the news and parked the carriage at the gate.

After the two women got on the carriage, he immediately led the horse with his left hand, held the lantern in his right hand, and trotted forward.

"Sister Shaoyao, I'm going back to Xiaojingxuan tonight, so I'll go first." The carriage had just started and Shaoyao was about to say something, but Xiaoyu spoke first and immediately reached out to lift the curtain.

Shaoyao asked in confusion, "It's already this late, why don't we go back to Tianbaoju together? Why do we have to go to Xiaojingxuan?"

Xiao Yu said, "I need to take care of the Wang family."

Shaoyao said: "A few days ago, you went out to practice and didn't come back for several days. Why didn't you think of looking after the Wang family?
Besides, even if we want to go back to Xiaojingxuan, why are we so impatient? We have to go back to Tianmen Town anyway."

Xiao Yu said meaningfully: "I am indeed going to Xiao Jing Xuan. If someone forces you to ask, just tell the truth."

Shaoyao was stunned for a moment, then immediately thought of something, her heart pounding, "You——"

"Shh~~~" Xiaoyu raised her index finger to her lips, "I'm going back to Xiaojingxuan."

She emphasized it again, then suddenly entered the ghost path and disappeared from the carriage.

Shisanbepu, Shunhuiin.

In the warm room, the fire is burning brightly.

Zhao Zhen and Xiang Tianshi were sitting in the room.

There are two chairs at the top and four on each side.

Zhao Zhen sat in the master chair on the left side of the upper seat, and Xiang Tianshi sat in the first chair below him.

Both of them closed their eyes and remained silent.

The "beeping" sound of the lamp sparks exploding in the oil lamp can also be clearly heard.

After a while, Li Rongji pushed the door open with a gloomy face.

He first glanced at the chair under Zhao Zhen's buttocks, paused for a moment, then walked naturally to the chair on the right side of the upper seat and sat down.

Li Anmin, a commoner, sat at the bottom.

Zhao Zhen still closed his eyes and rested.

Master Xiang Tian opened his eyes and asked softly, "They are unwilling to join the Crown Prince's Mansion and refuse to serve as the 'Demon Suppression Guest Official'?"

Li Rongji said in a muffled voice: "I didn't even have the time to invite you."

Master Xiang Tian frowned and said, “This time we are publicly practicing the ancient secret method just to show our strength.

Let the unruly and eccentric people in Yingxiang Mansion learn to be respectful and obey His Highness's orders.

Why did Your Highness avoid talking about it and miss such a great opportunity?"

Li Rongji picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup, gulped it down, and then said in a cold voice: "As soon as I entered Ziwei Residence, they immediately surrounded me, stared at my eyes, and said that Master You's blood and vitality were exhausted, and he could not be saved and had died.
Duan Ao, the 'Hunyuan Dragon Claw Hand' who had left Anxiang Pavilion earlier.

Although he walked out of the plum garden, he was unable to walk out of the Shishan Villa and fainted on the way.

Although he is not in danger of death at the moment, his Human Immortal Yuan Dan has lost too much vitality and has already cracked.

Even if he is rescued, he will probably fall back to a lower realm, and his body will be weak and he will fall seriously ill."

"Bang~~~" Li Rongji slammed the tea bowl heavily on the table, causing Zhao Zhen opposite him to open his sharp eyes.

"They are forcing me. Let me give them an explanation!" Li Rongji suppressed his anger and roared in a low voice.

Tianshi Xiang sighed, "I didn't expect Yu Fengxian's 'Warning Guanyin Sword Intent' to be so domineering.

I originally thought that You Dao Ren would only lose his blood and essence, but at least he could save his life, and Duan Ao could also keep his Human Immortal Yuan Dan."

Zhao Zhen tilted his head to glance at him and asked, "Master Xiang has never studied the method of enduring battle?

As long as you have had the experience of replenishing your energy, the part of your energy collected from replenishing your energy will be controlled by the Warning Guanyin.

Uncontrolled reversal to 'silver paste'.

Even though I used authentic Taoist mental methods to suppress the vital energy in my body, I almost got hit.

Yu Fengxian's 'Warning Guanyin' is not only overbearing, it's also evil!"

Master Xiang was stunned for a moment, then said with a little embarrassment: “I really studied the method of collecting and replenishing in my early years.

It’s just that I’m old now, and I’m ashamed that I didn’t raise the flag today, so the impact was relatively small and the feelings were not deep.”
