Chapter 344 The Initial Chaos

in the city.

After the curfew, the city fell into silence, except for the watchmen and necessary patrol personnel, there were no extra people walking around.

suddenly.

A fire burned in a certain house, and then swept through the surrounding houses at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But surprisingly.

In the burning house, no one's voice came out.

On the contrary, those people who were about to be affected by the fire, after realizing this problem, ran out of their houses one after another, and then yelled frantically.

"Go away!"

"Go away!"

"Everyone come out—"

The panicked voice completely broke the tranquility in the city.

After the people in the yamen got the news, they immediately sent people to deal with the fire.

but.

After the fire was extinguished, what those people saw were mummies lying there motionless.

look.

It was as if he was burned to death in a deep sleep, without any trace of struggle.

Such a strange scene was immediately spread.

"There are evil spirits at work!"

Seeing the charred bodies, Ma Fan's face turned serious.

He is a member of Zhenmensi, and he understands the situation in front of him very well. It is definitely not a simple fire incident.

even though.

The evil aura in the ruins disappeared completely under the burning of the fire.

but.

Based on the corpse in front of him alone, Ma Fan can determine what he did.

The faces of the yamen servants next to him changed drastically when they heard the words.

"My lord, do you mean to say that there are evil spirits making trouble in the city?"

"good."

Ma Fan nodded, his eyes still lingering on the corpses.

"Only when evil spirits are at work, can the current situation be formed. There are obviously evil spirits in the city. The patrols in the city should be stepped up. Any abnormal situation should be reported as soon as possible, and other matters will be handled by me."

"Follow your orders!"

Several yamen servants took orders.

Ma Fan looked at the mummy again, then turned and left.

Demons make trouble.

But I didn't realize it beforehand.

There are two possibilities in this situation, either the evil aura is too weak, or the other party is extremely good at hiding.

The former is okay, indicating that the opponent's strength is not strong.

But if it's the latter, it's hard to say.

a time.

He felt some pressure in his heart.

"Not long ago, the Zhenmagic Division lost troops and generals in the hands of Wanfozong. The above emphasized that it is necessary to prevent the evil spirits from completely rebelling. The current scene in the city may be a sign—"

Ma Fan thought to himself.

If this is a sign, then it means that there will be bigger actions in the future.

I'm just a small yellow-rank demon slayer, and I have no problem dealing with ordinary evil spirits, but if I encounter powerful evil spirits, I don't have much confidence in countering them.

"Although Chen County is not big, it has a lot of people. This matter has to be reported to Zhenmagic Division!"

Take a deep breath.

Ma Fan finally disappeared into the vast night.

-

Break the mountain city, the town magician.

For a few days, Shen Changqing has been practicing the Seven Stars Stepping in the Sky, and the results are remarkable.

above the panel.

The seven-star stepping step has directly broken through from the original first floor to the third floor.

The three-level seven-star stepping into the air has become very mysterious.

Not only is his figure as elusive as a ghost, but his speed is also much faster.

not only that.

He felt that he also had some vague insights about the fourth floor.

"The number of layers of internal and external skills represents a breakthrough in the realm, while the number of layers of offensive martial arts represents the depth of proficiency.

If the first floor is counted as the first glimpse of the door, and the second floor is counted as entering the room, then I have now reached the stage of perfecting the third floor.

The fourth and fifth floors behind can be regarded as the realm of reaching the pinnacle of perfection, and the realization of the true meaning of returning to the basics. "

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

These divisions are just his personal opinion. In fact, the panels are not that complicated, one floor is one floor, and the second floor is two floors.

It doesn't matter if it's Chiyang God's Palm or Seven Stars Stepping into the Sky.

When you reach the fifth floor, you can directly comprehend the true meaning.

In this regard.

Shen Changqing was also very curious.

to be frank.

From the dossier of the Wu Pavilion, it has been stated that a warrior can comprehend multiple true meanings.

However, he never realized the second true meaning.

Shen Changqing didn't know either.

If he comprehends the second true meaning, what kind of change will happen.

In other words.

If he conceived a divine soul by himself, what difference would there be in so many true meanings.

Before the master was at his peak.

For some problems, he can get the guidance of his predecessors, and he can consult and study through files.

But the realm after the master.

It is no longer possible to get guidance from the predecessors.

Great Master of the time.

It is also the only great master, and there is only one Shamaha.

Shen Changqing didn't think that Shi Maha would be willing to give advice to him.

and so.

For everything after the great master, you have to rely on your own exploration.

same.

Because the predecessors were limited by the realm of the master, many speculations and records may not be correct after the great master.

Just like for example.

At first he thought that internal strength was the most important, but later he thought that internal strength was not important.

Only when you get to the back, can you understand that only when all three are at the peak, can you be qualified to become a great master.

With previous experience.

Shen Changqing was dubious about the records he had read.

therefore.

He is not 100% sure whether he can comprehend the second true meaning after conceiving the soul.

If a true meaning represents a soul.

The second true meaning, it is impossible for a second soul to appear.

That way.

Could it be that he was schizophrenic.

Shake his head.

Shen Changqing dispelled these distracting thoughts.

"It doesn't matter, the boat is naturally straight when it reaches the bridge. Anyway, it's right to keep practicing. With the strength of a half-step grand master, although the first four levels of martial arts are not difficult, but if you want to comprehend the true meaning, you need to pay attention to many aspects. factor.

Now it takes only a few days for me to cultivate Qixing Wukong Step to the fourth level. If I want to understand the true meaning, I can't succeed in a day or two. "

Taking a deep breath, he settled down for a while, and planned to practice again.

The four-story seven-star stepping step can truly cross the void.

at this point.

Shen Changqing was still very greedy.

at this time.

Obviously a little bigger, Tiankui, who was lying at the gate of the yard acting as a gatekeeper, let out a warning sound.

Then, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Shen Changqing paused for a moment, his mind penetrated through his body, and he directly opened the yard.

Outside.

Seeing Tiankui who was guarding the door, Deng Gu didn't go in easily, but bowed to Shen Changqing who was walking.

"Elder Shen!"

"What is Deng Chumo doing here?"

Seeing the person coming, Shen Changqing gestured with his eyes, and Tiankui retreated as if he understood.

"Deng Chumo, come in and talk!"

"excuse me."

Deng Gu said something before walking in.

Immediately.

He just cut to the chase.

"In the morning, news came that within the area under the jurisdiction of our Demon Suppressor Division, there were many incidents of evil spirits and disasters, and some people lost their lives as a result. Report it, I hope Zhenmensi can know."

"Many places, how many places, some people died, and how many people died?"

Shen Changqing frowned, he didn't like this ambiguous way of speaking very much.

heard.

Deng Gu hurriedly replied: "Elder Qi, now within the scope of Zhenma Division under the jurisdiction of my Poshan City, a total of [-] cities have been attacked, and more than [-] people were killed or injured. It is not ruled out that there will be more in the future."

Seventeen cities!
More than 500 people!

Shen Changqing's face remained unchanged: "Who sent you the news?"

Although Deng Gu said that the news came from various cities, but the other party was just an ordinary earth-level demon slayer, obviously not qualified to take charge of these matters.

"The chief steward of Tianchawei in the broken mountain city."

"The head of the Tianchawei."

Shen Changqing nodded slightly, then he looked at Deng Gu.

"You let him come over."

"Uh, yes!"

Deng Gu didn't ask too much, but bowed his hands and turned to leave.

Compared with before, I now feel more pressure in front of Shen Changqing.

That feeling made him want to escape.

this change.

A big reason is that it comes from the golden body of Shenxiao.

Martial arts absorbed the power of heavenly thunder, which made Shen Changqing naturally have an unpredictable majesty like the might of the sky.

People with average minds will feel strong oppression in front of it.

-

Less than a quarter of an hour.

In the courtyard, there was already one more person.

"Xing Yi, Chief Steward of Tianchawei in Poshan City, met Elder Shen!"

The middle-aged man in a blue and white gown and with a goatee said respectfully.

Looking at the person in front of him, Shen Changqing nodded.

"Director Xing is polite."

Then, he just cut to the chase.

"Just now, I heard from Deng Gu that Director Xing has received messages from various cities. Please tell me in detail!"

"Yes!"

Xing Yi's demeanor returned to normal, coughed lightly, and moistened his throat.

"As early as a few days ago, there were signs of evil spirits being active within the jurisdiction of our Demon Suppressing Division, but things were still under control, but two days ago, the evil spirits became more active.

In just two days, there were evil spirits in seventeen cities, and more than five hundred people were killed or injured.

But so far, we have not found any traces of Yaoxie, but this matter has caused quite a commotion.

I'm worried that this is because the Yaoxie clan saw that the strength of our town magician was weakened, and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to launch an offensive, so they reported the news as soon as possible, hoping that Elder Shen can make a decision. "

He didn't hide anything, and told all the news he knew.

Ji Tianlu had ordered before the retreat that all matters in Zhenmagic Division will be decided by the elder Shen in front of him for the time being.
