One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 6: Red Lord is the foundation, weapons are the use [Alliance Leader plus update]

These insects were all seen and recognized by Zhu Puyi, and evolved in his dreams, but not entirely, because there was indeed a 'Gu God' hidden in his soul.

It can be said to be two in one.

The insects were black and the size of a thumb, with mouthparts like scissors. They flapped their wings, made buzzing sounds, and swarmed in, trying to bite anyone who entered the temple.

Then Zhao Fuyun opened his eyes, quickly moved his left hand from his forehead to his waist, took a step back, slightly tilted his body as if holding a scabbard, and inserted the fingers of his right hand into the fist of his left hand.

He bent down slightly and looked at the strange and terrifying flying insects, as if an invisible weapon was about to be pulled out at any time.

This is the Art of Sword and Weaponry, one of Zhao Fuyun's main combat spells.

This spell is like a framework that can be added with many things. At this time, the magic attribute on his body is infused with the power of the 'Red Flame God', with a strong fire nature, and the sword and weapon tactics are used.

A swarm of black flying insects swarmed in and pounced towards Zhao Fuyun.

Zhao Fuyun shouted softly, pulled out the sword finger of his right hand, and swung it diagonally upwards like a knife.

A flash of fire flashed through the void at the door, and as he curled his fingers, the fire followed his fingers and turned into a ball of flame, sucking the black flying insects into it.

At this moment, he stood here, as if he himself had become the 'Red Lord'.

The black insects fell to the ground and were burned to ashes, but then two more groups of black flying insects flew in.

He inserted the sword finger of his right hand back and then pulled it out, swiping and curling in the air, the flame was like a red knife light, and rolled up a wave of fire to engulf the black insect.

The black flying insects behind were sucked into it and instantly burned into ashes and fell to the ground.

The entire Chijun Temple fell silent.

He stood still, but raised his left hand again, chanting scriptures. The ball of fire in his hand seemed to have life, and he could not hold it, and it rushed into the statue of "Chijun".

In an instant, the obscure and evil aura on the statue was dispelled, as if a "Chijun" who existed somewhere unknown had injected a bit of divinity into the statue.

The statue of the deity is radiant with divine light.

Zhao Fuyun stretched out his hand towards the void, as if to grab the fire that had escaped from his hand back into his hand, and then walked backwards.

With divine light covering his body, he walked into the darkness outside, illuminating the area.

The ground he stepped on left red footprints. His eyes, with a faint glow of fire, surveyed the darkness.

He had been to this yard during the day and knew that it was not big and there was actually nothing in the other rooms.

But this was not the case in Zhu Puyi's consciousness, so Zhao Fuyun felt that there seemed to be something in the darkness. He stood at the door of the small temple, thinking in his heart.

To the right, you will clean up other rooms first, and to the left, you will go directly to the master bedroom.

He pondered for a moment and decided to take a look at the empty rooms.

Wherever he walked, the void was filled with light.

Before he reached those rooms, there seemed to be movement in the rooms, but when he arrived and the firelight shone into them, there was nothing.

Those invisible sounds and movements symbolized the doubt in Zhu Puyi's heart, but this doubt had not yet formed a real "nightmare" in his consciousness, so it became quiet when illuminated by the fire.

Finally he came to Zhuang Xiange's bedroom, which was dark and he felt a deep evil atmosphere inside.

He flicked his finger and a spark of fire flew into the dark room, exploded in the darkness, and the room was suddenly filled with light.

The moment the bedroom lit up, Zhao Fuyun saw a bloody skeleton lying on the bed, with black bugs surrounding its body, but there were not many of them.

As he stared, the skeleton slowly sat up. In the eye sockets of the skull were a pair of small, strange eyes, like insect eyes.

At just one glance, Zhao Fuyun actually felt dazed, as if countless insects were breeding on his body and were trying to drill into it.

Flames surged from his body, burning the insects away.

He understood instantly that it was the 'Gu God' that was parasitic in Zhu Puyi's liver and soul.

Without the slightest hesitation, he clenched his left fist at his waist, sheathed it, and thrust his right sword finger back and forth, then drew it out, slashing at the skeleton like a sword being unsheathed, chanting, "Burn, kill!"

Burning represents the flames of the 'Red Lord' that he is currently borrowing, while killing represents his own will.

Red flames appeared out of nowhere and violently pounced on the skeleton, burning all the flying insects at the same time.

The skeleton man jumped up from the bed, making strange noises, and tried to pounce on Zhao Fuyun, but Zhao Fuyun's hands quickly drew circles in the air, chanting, "Bind!"

The invisible flames quickly bound it, and the magic power that was fused with the might of the 'Red Lord' bound it tightly, hanging it in the void and burning it.

Something seemed to be trying to rush out from the skeleton, but was tightly bound by the flames. After a while, the skeleton was burned to ashes, and the weirdness and obscurity in the whole room disappeared.

Zhao Fuyun did not go to find where Zhu Puyi's soul was hiding, but came to the yard and recited the Red Flame Divine Mantra.

A red light emanated from the statue of Chijun in the front room, shining into the courtyard and dispelling the darkness in the courtyard in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, he saw a figure coming out of the cabinet in the bedroom. It was Zhu Puyi. He exclaimed, "Chi Jun..."

However, Zhao Fuyun's figure quickly disappeared in the light.

……

In Wuze County, in a dark room, there was a large urn placed there for sacrifice. Suddenly, an invisible flame burned in the urn.

The original spirit of the white silk cocoon quickly dissipated in the flames, leaving only the burnt ash. Inside, a white silkworm pupa was struggling painfully at the bottom of the jar, and its body seemed to be burned by fire.

At this time, Master Ma Can was also holding his head. In his heart, there was a chaotic squeaking sound, and his head felt as if he was hit by a hammer.

He struggled to the table and opened the drawer. There were some bottles and jars inside. These were pills and powders he made himself. He opened one of the bottles, poured out two black pills, put them in his mouth, chewed them and swallowed them.

After a long while, the discomfort in his head slowly eased away.

He was breathing heavily, his heart beating violently. He thought for a while and realized who had cast a spell on him, because the consciousness of the Gu spirit in the body of the county magistrate Zhu Puyi had been destroyed.

He stood up and walked to the side of the black jar. Seeing the listless appearance of the silkworm pupa 'Gu Shen' inside, he felt angry and sad.

"My silkworm, my golden silkworm Gu God..."

His eyes were filled with hatred, and he thought, "You clearly said you would come to heal Zhu Puyi's soul tomorrow, but you came tonight... cunning... vicious...! I, Ma Wulang, will not be a human being if I don't avenge this!"

At this time, the people outside seemed to have heard the screams inside, so they rushed open the door. A young man came in. He saw Ma Wulang lying on the urn and said, "Grandpa Wu, what happened to you?"

Ma Wulang panted for a while, and said, "Go and get ready. I want to go into the mountains."

"Into the mountains?"

"Go into the mountains to worship the Gu God!"

Although Ma Wulang was filled with hatred, he knew that his silkworm Gu was seriously injured at this time, and he first needed to let his "Gu God" recover.

The young man didn't dare to say anything else. Even though the mountains were full of dangers and poisonous insects at this time of year, since Master Ma Wu had spoken, he couldn't disobey.

……

The moment Zhu Puyi opened his eyes in bed, he felt extremely relaxed, like the refreshing feeling after the sky cleared up after a long period of rain.

He remembered the dream he had last night.

He dreamed that he appeared in that dark temple again. There was an evil god in the temple. When he was hiding in the darkness and trembling, a god came with fire and burned all the evil in the temple.

That was Chi Jun, he thought. He looked up at the sky and felt that it was much brighter. The deep fear and darkness in his heart dissipated like the dark clouds that had been there for the past few days.

But he soon thought of Zhao Fuyun again!
After washing up, he went to Zhao Fuyun without even having breakfast. Zhao Fuyun lived not far away, so he arrived there quickly.

A ray of sunlight shone into the city. Zhu Puyi stepped carefully on the stones on the ground. Yesterday's sunny day did not completely dry the ground. Every stone might splash mud and water when stepped on. He held up his long gown and walked quickly and carefully.

When he arrived at the gate of Zhao Fuyun's courtyard, he was about to knock on the old gray wooden door, but found that the door was ajar. He gently pushed the door open.

Then he saw a young man standing in the yard, facing the sun.

The young man looked to be in his twenties, with a fair face and no beard. At this moment, he had his eyes closed and his hands raised high as if embracing the yang.

He saw the sunlight in the void where the other person's hands were clasped together was like smoke and was sucked into the young man's mouth.

Eat clouds and drink dew.

After a while, Zhao Fuyun was seen exhaling long mist again.

Zhu Puyi stood by and watched. He did not disturb them. At this moment, his heart was full of envy.

After about half an hour, Zhao Fuyun finally stopped and looked at Zhu Puyi and said, "Why did you come to my courtyard so early in the morning? I didn't prepare any breakfast for you."

“If we hadn’t come here early in the morning, how could we have seen the mysterious scene of the teacher’s practice, with clouds and mist puffing out, and the whole courtyard filled with rosy clouds like waves, it was truly magnificent.” Zhu Puyi said.

"Your words remind me of the time when I was in the mountains and saw my teacher practicing. The sky was filled with colorful clouds and auspicious auras. That scene was truly magnificent." Zhao Fuyun said.

"I wish I could see the magnificent sight once." Zhu Puyi said with longing, and Zhao Fuyun could tell that he meant it from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Fuyun did not respond to him, because the county magistrate in front of him had basically bid farewell to the path of cultivation. This was just his envy and sigh.

"Sir, why do you come to me so early? What's the matter?" Zhao Fuyun certainly knew what it was, otherwise he would not have opened the gate first.

Zhu Puyi then told Zhao Fuyun about his dream and asked if he was the one who did it. Zhao Fuyun just smiled and said, "Your Excellency's soul is at peace, which is a good thing. However, it can also be seen that Your Excellency still has Chi Jun in your heart, so Your Excellency can get Chi Jun's protection."

"Alas, Chijun Guanghui also needs someone to lead him." Zhu Puyi immediately understood that Zhao Fuyun had appeared in his dream last night, and then asked again: "The teacher is indeed very capable, but he will offend the local ghosts and gods because of this. I will repay the teacher for his kindness today when I get out of this predicament!"

"It's just a trivial matter, don't worry about it, sir. I'm sorry to have made you worried, but I'm just interpreting your dream for you." Zhao Fuyun seemed to be indifferent, but he was actually alert in his heart.

“Teacher, please don’t be careless. Zhuang Xiange was too careless and underestimated the enemy, so he ended up like this.” Zhu Puyi said. In his heart, Zhuang Xiange was a strong and brave young monk.

"If I don't provoke them, they won't provoke me!" said Zhao Fuyun.

Zhu Puyi wanted to persuade Zhao Fuyun to be careful, but seeing Zhao Fuyun's lack of interest, he stopped talking and just thought, "I hope he won't be like Zhuang Xiange again."

Zhao Fuyun certainly doesn't want to be like Zhuang Xiange.

He returned to his room and prepared to set up a magic circle to establish his own temple.

Originally he thought it could wait, but after what happened last night, he had to do it in advance.
