Chapter 172: The Hegemony Blood Skill Is Completed, Talisman and List
The next day.
The sky was dotted with stars, and the sky in the east was already turning pale.
Shen Qing, who was lying on the cart, slowly opened his eyes. He sat up and looked around, and his hazy eyes gradually gathered into light.
In the distance, the fields in the early morning were gently covered by a thin layer of morning mist. The rice fields swayed gently in the wind, looking full of vitality, and the croaking of frogs and cicadas continued to come one after another.
Shen Qing took a deep breath and smelled the freshness of soil and flowers in the air, which made him relax.
After strengthening his belief, what happened last night no longer made him think about it, and his thoughts became clear.
It is not difficult to know, but it is difficult to do.
A gentleman should be slow to speak but quick to act.
In Shen Qing's opinion, since he has made a decision and has an ambition, the next thing to do is to put it into action.
He got off the cart gently without disturbing Shen Er and others beside him, and walked to Tian Xiaohu who was on duty and said, "I've slept well, you go and rest for a while, we will set off again after dawn."
What happened last night made Tian Xiaohu and others very worried, and they took the initiative to ask for duty to prevent any accidents so that they could respond in time.
Tian Xiaohu was a martial artist after all, and he was energetic even if he didn't sleep all night, and he was not affected too much.
However, he also knew that it was a long journey, and it was also important to conserve physical strength, and not to be strong for a while.
Tian Xiaohu nodded and said, "Then I'll lie down for a while, and call me when you leave."
He found a corner, spread a layer of straw, and slept directly with his clothes on. After a while, he snored.
Uncle, aunt and others showed no signs of waking up for the time being, and Shen Qing had no intention of waking them up. He walked to the side silently and began to practice the Hegemony Blood Skill.
At present, there are no medicinal food pills, and no various training media, so it is just right to practice the Hegemony Blood Skill.
He stood with his legs apart like an old pine tree, swallowing up the morning glow of heaven and earth.
He practiced until the east was bright and the sun rose like fire, then he barely stopped.
Shen Qing's consciousness moved and called out the ink panel.
[Skill: Hegemony Blood Skill (Minor Success)]
[Progress: 801/800 points]
[Status: Upgradable]
[Note: This is a new martial art you have learned from the Nine Merits Brocade. After continuous practice, with the assistance of demon pills and prescriptions, this skill has made significant progress. Your strength is gradually improving, your physique is getting stronger, and you are constantly breaking the limits of your body. ]
"Huh... I finally practiced it to the fullest."
As a limit-breaking skill of the Nine Merits Realm, Hegemony Blood Skill has no one to guide him, and there is no martial arts technique for him to refer to. He relies entirely on exploration.
Therefore, the progress of this martial art has always been very slow, much slower than other martial arts techniques.
In addition, as a martial art after breaking the limit, the required progress value is superimposed, so Shen Qing can only work hard bit by bit and improve slowly.
Fortunately, after continuous practice in the early stage, this martial arts technique has successfully met the conditions for breakthrough.
Shen Qing abandoned his distracting thoughts, and his mind and spirit were united. Then he moved his mind and chose to break through.
Suddenly, the progress information about the Hegemony Blood Skill on the ink panel in his sight began to refresh.
[Skill: Hegemony Blood Skill (Great Success)]
[Progress: 1/900 points]
As the panel information was refreshed, a stream of new blood and qi suddenly seeped out from the flesh and blood of various parts of the body.
It was like squeezing out a lot of water from a sponge, melting together, gathering into a stream, and flowing into the blood and qi of the whole body.
It made Shen Qing's already magnificent blood and qi even more powerful, and the muscles of the whole body became tough again and strengthened.
"After the great success of the Hegemony Blood Skill, my body has become stronger. Before entering the Qi Sea Realm, if the Hegemony Blood Skill continues to improve, I am afraid that my Qi and blood volume will be increased to a terrifying level."
"By then, with such a physique, it will definitely be incredible when I break through the Qi Sea."
Feeling that he had become stronger, Shen Qing became satisfied and returned to the rice field in the village, full of energy.
It was already dawn, and the people who were resting in the rice field woke up one after another.
After waking up, everyone had no intention of being idle.
Shen Xiaoshan took a sickle to cut a lot of green grass, mixed some hay and grains as supplements, and fed the two horses and donkeys.
The cook Xiao Zhi set up the pot and cooked breakfast.
Everyone was doing their own job, and it was a bit lively.
After breakfast, Shen Qing and others searched every house, taking all the food, meat, eggs, and salt that could be brought.
These have become ownerless things, and Shen Qing and others did not feel embarrassed when they took them up.
Xiao Zhi even used the firewood from these people to fry a whole bag of rice for dry food.
When all the chores were done, Shen Qing peeled off the skin of the three-headed dog demon, took away the demon pill, and then he set the whole village on fire.
These village houses were all thatched houses or wood, and the fire caught fire at a touch.
The bodies of many villagers inside were gradually engulfed in the fire.
"Let's go."
Shen Qing didn't say much, and the others didn't ask much.
In the raging flames, Shen Qing led everyone to stride towards the direction of the rising sun.
...
With Zhuifeng's footwork, the thousand-mile distance from Taiping County to Yongzhou can be reached in about two days.
But Shen Qing brought his family with him, and with the lessons learned from the previous experience, they no longer approached the village casually to accept the kindness of the villagers, and mostly rested in the wild mountains and forests, so they walked very slowly on the road.
In a blink of an eye, after walking for seven consecutive days, they finally arrived safely in Yongzhou.
Looking at the increasing number of people, Shen Qing and others breathed a sigh of relief.
The group continued to move forward, and in the afternoon, they came to a dilapidated temple.
The dilapidated temple only had a few rotten wooden boards hanging diagonally on the door frame, and the threshold was covered with moss and weeds, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
Fortunately, the overall structure of the temple was still intact and could block wind and rain.
Shen Qing went in and took a look, and found that there were several piles of extinguished bonfires and several pieces of charred food residues.
These ashes left by burning were old and new.
It can be seen that people often stay temporarily in this temple.
They had been running all the way to rest in the wild, and their bodies were already smelly. The men were okay, but the aunt and the eldest sister Shen Fang were already a little unbearable.
Even if they lived in Hongshan Village in the past, they were not so sloppy.
After Shen Qing used the eagle eye ability to confirm that there was no danger around, he decided to stay here.
This instantly brightened the mood of both aunt and elder sister Shen Fang. Women always have a few days of inconvenience, and going on a long journey at this time is simply torture.
There is a well in the temple, just in time to get some clean water for washing.
It was still early at this time.
Shen Qing, who was guarding outside the temple for his elder sister and others, took out a thin book and started flipping through it.
This is what he found from the general of the Huangtian Sect.
At that time, he just glanced at it briefly, and now he has nothing to do, so he can check it carefully to see if there is any valuable information.
This booklet is like a roster, and there is no text on the outer cover.
Shen Qing turned to the first page.
"Yun Yinfeng, male, 32 years old, Yanyu Town, his parents died when he was young, and he was adopted by a martial arts master in the rivers and lakes and taught martial arts. In the third year of Tianguang, he joined our Holy Sect and served as an angel. He is good at lurking in the market, mostly using the identities of merchants, scholars, and beggars as cover..."
This whole page is densely packed with records of Yun Yinfeng's life.
Shen Qing had no impression of this person, so he turned another page.
"Qiao Lan, female, 19 years old, Taifeng County, was born in a martial arts family, but her family was implicated in a sudden coup, so she joined the Holy Church. She is beautiful, has strong martial arts skills, and is reliable."
"Zhang Biao, male, 20 years old..."
Shen Qing read through all of them, and they were all people with a certain status in the Huangtian Sect, and there were some detailed or simple descriptions of their abilities.
There was also an opened letter in the book.
Shen Qing took the letter out of it, spread it out, and was a little surprised.
This was a letter sent from the Yongzhou Yamen, recording the date and route of the Yongzhou Weiwu Division's departure and the number of people.
There were people from the Huangtian Sect in the Yongzhou Yamen, who secretly revealed the whereabouts of the Yamen Weiwu Division to the Huangtian Sect.
No wonder the Huangtian Sect was able to ambush successfully and kill the Weiwu Division of the county city Yongzhou on the way. It seems that it was because someone was acting as an insider.
The water in Yongzhou's government office is probably not ordinary deep.
Shen Qing's expression suddenly became serious, and he calmly put away the books and notebooks carefully.
These things may be of great use to him in the future.
After putting away the roster, he took out a stack of yellow talismans and a pennant.
This was also something he took out from the general of Huang Tianjiao.
Shen Qing remembered very clearly that when this talisman was in the other party's hand, it was very powerful, and it could add many effects, comparable to the diverse Nine Revolutions Profound Art.
And this talisman looks very convenient to use.
It seems that there is no need for hard practice, only sacrifice and stimulation.
Shen Qing lowered his head and looked carefully.
These talismans are about ten inches long and about three fingers wide, with the edges outlined with vermilion fine lines.
The ink on the talisman surface is of different shades, outlining complex and delicate patterns.
There are both dragons and phoenixes dancing, and clouds rolling and spreading, and so on, but overall they can be classified into three styles.
These seven or eight yellowed talismans should represent three types of talismans.
However, Shen Qing did not understand the way of talismans and did not understand their specific meanings.
Shen Qing held one of the talismans in his hand and shook it.
He tried a few times, but none of these talismans were in any state of activation, so he had to temporarily give up and focus on the triangular formation flag.
With Shen Qing's shallow knowledge reserve in this area, he could not see the mystery.
At this moment, Shen Qing heard the sound of carriages in the distance outside the temple. He hurriedly put away the talismans and formation flags and looked into the distance.
He saw a group of people in front of him holding a large flag with a "Wu" character embroidered on it. About ten people approached the ruined temple little by little.
Shen Qing looked behind him and shouted: "Aunt, sister, hurry up, someone is coming outside the temple."
"Ah..."
There were panic noises coming from the ruined temple.
Shen Qing did not care about them and gestured to Tian Xiaohu and Xiao Zhi.
The two of them took out their crossbows with ease, sat in the carriage, and looked at the people coming from the front with vigilance.
The man at the front of the escort agency rode a tall horse and was quite surprised to see Shen Qing and others at the door of the ruined temple.
"Whoa!"
He stopped his horse, slid down from the horse after a brief consideration, asked the others to stop, and walked towards the door of the ruined temple step by step.
