Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Chapter 101 Premonition of the Four Realms

"Take it, here is the key. Let's settle the matter."

The smiling old man handed a bunch of keys to Qi Xiu, and then, as if he was afraid that Qi Xiu would regret it, he rushed out of the alley at a speed of twenty miles and disappeared in a flash.

He shook his head and chuckled, looking at the smoke and dust that had not yet fallen outside the door.

Qi Xiu closed the courtyard door and put a [Suppression Talisman] on it.

Three thousand five hundred taels of silver with snowflake patterns were exchanged for such a quiet and unique courtyard in Qingliu County, where every inch of land is precious.

“It’s going to be the New Year again in a blink of an eye.”

Sitting on the edge of the flower bed in the yard, Qi Xiu stretched out his hand to catch a piece of fluffy pure white snow as the slightly chilly wind blew.

Watch the snowflakes slowly turn into a few drops of water in the palm of your hand.

Qi Xiu's eyes were in a daze.

Just one year.

The down-and-out scholar who had to find ways to have three meals a day has now become a monk that ordinary people look up to.

It is true that the past is like smoke and disappears as soon as it lingers.

After feeling a little emotional, Qi Xiu turned around and entered the back room, waving his hand to take out his many luggages one by one from the dragon pond.

Clothes, pens and ink, a rocking chair, the two big boxes of Zhen Gong Heart Sutra secret books, and some miscellaneous items.

I have planned to stay in Qingliu County for a while.

Qi Xiu simply spent money to buy the yard.

Firstly, accommodation in restaurants and inns is somewhat private.

Secondly, due to Su Xijing's habit over the years, the inn was too noisy.

He lightly lifted his clothes and leaned down on the rocking chair. The sky outside the eaves of the corridor was filled with lead gray and dots of white stars kept falling.

Rubbing his eyebrows gently, Qi Xiu quietly thought about his next plan.

The "Small Five Elements Water Patrol Escape Technique" was compiled by Mo Jiao and will not be used for the time being. The public security in Qingliu County is still complete, so this escape method will not be used for a while.

"The Invisible Sword Technique of Shattering the Body".

He practiced this technique with gusto.

After all, as long as you are a man, you will never dream of becoming a swordsman.

It's just that the difficulty of practicing this method is indeed not low.

The content is extremely large and cumbersome.

Posture, mind, visualization, circulation of qi and blood, passage of true energy...

Every step must be strived for excellence. If there is any mistake, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

If it weren't for his proficiency and magical blessing.

Even if you fail every time you practice, there will be insights and experiences that continue to grow.

Slowly correct and improve the cultivation process.

I’m afraid I haven’t even started yet.

This shows how difficult and arduous it is for ordinary people to practice this method.

"Martial arts and martial arts go hand in hand, and those skills that I have followed for a long time cannot fall too far behind."

His eyes moved slightly, and an ancient and simple panel appeared in Qi Xiu's field of vision.

[Calligraphy (Three Realms): 83.2%]

[Secret Meaning of Hunyuan Dragon and Tiger Scripture (First Realm): 3%]

[Small Five Elements Water Patrol Escape Method: 2.9%]

[Body-Breaking Invisible Sword Technique: 0.7%]

[Refining Medicine (Second Realm): 81.2%]

[Painting (one scene): 44.2%]

[Cooking skills: 98.9%]

……

After sweeping through the many skills and techniques he had mastered one by one, Qi Xiu focused his eyes on the last line.

That one appears on the panel right after the calligraphy.

But I have already reached the third level of calligraphy, but I have never broken through the first level of cooking.

"It's not that I don't want you to break through, it's just that I'm afraid that you will have supernatural powers.

The next time I have a breakthrough in calligraphy, it will be very embarrassing if I figure out a cooking character. "

Looking at the only skill that could break through at any time, but was forcibly restrained by him, Qi Xiu felt helpless.

After all, calligraphy breaks through every time.

Only one Yunzhuan can be understood.

Whether it's the mysterious [Suppression Talisman], the powerful [Martial Talisman], or the weird [Medicine Talisman].

They all provided great help to his practice this year.

Even several times, he managed to escape from crisis by relying on these talismans.

Therefore, he naturally wanted to leave the opportunity to understand Yunzhuan to those with stronger abilities.

For example, the [Dharma Talisman] he has been thinking about...

"One day I will be invincible and invincible.

Maybe you will have the idea of ​​becoming a Chinese little boss. "

Withdrawing his gaze from his cooking skills, Qi Xiu turned to look at his good friend.

calligraphy!

This is the skill that has stayed with me the longest.

Even though he spent five months in the cave polishing the secrets of the Hunyuan Dragon and Tiger Scripture, he never gave up on the practice of calligraphy.

Now, calligraphy will become his first four realms of magic.

"17%...it should be almost a month."

After roughly estimating the progress of calligraphy proficiency, Qi Xiu also looked a little expectant.

Since the last time my calligraphy broke through the three realms.

He had always had a premonition.

That is, if calligraphy enters the Four Realms, it will undergo a qualitative improvement.

But what exactly is this improvement?

There were no mentions or omens in the premonition.

"It's really exciting..."

……

Qingliu County, [-] miles away.

<divclass="contentadv">The mountain shaped like a tombstone is shrouded in dense black smoke.

There are tall mountains all around, blocking out the sun and making it difficult to see the sky.

Thick fog filled the mountains, making the entire mountains look hazy.

A large number of caves have been carved out of the cliffs on the mountain. They are densely covered with barbs and sharp protruding rocks, shaped like teeth.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a mountain of skeletons and a forest of bones. The ground is covered with human hair, and the flesh and skin are rotten in the ground and the smell is unpleasant.

The little demon in the east is carving out the flesh of a living person, and the demon in the west is cooking human flesh.

It was like a scene of hell on earth, which made people tremble with fear.

At this time, deep inside this tomb mountain.

In a huge cave.

Countless demons and evil cultivators are entrenched here, standing on one side openly or covertly, looking around with sinister eyes, and from time to time they cast their gaze on the scene.

I saw an old demon sitting in this demon cave.

This old demon is sitting on the lotus throne, with his hands in the mudra and a smile on his face. At first glance, he looks like a compassionate Buddha statue in a high temple.

But if you get closer and take a look.

Half of the face of this Buddha statue has been destroyed, exposing the rotten and blackened flesh. The flawless, peaceful and reassuring face has a distorted and extremely terrifying demonic face.

The one eye was bloodshot, fiery and terrifying.

The body that was originally as bright as copper and exuded the aura of divinity has been infected by decay.

Her hair was as black as crow feathers and was knotted into a braid as thick as an iron chain at her neck.

Its skin became gray, covered with cracks and ulcers, and a disgusting fishy smell emanated from it.

"Afraid to kill Arhat, today's time limit has expired. I wonder what you are thinking about?"

A calm voice sounded in front of the old demon who was nearly six feet tall and looked like a small mountain.

The voice came from a woman.

A woman with a soft appearance, wearing a white gauze, with a faint white-gold glow all over her body, exuding a holy and peaceful aura.

Looking at the woman as pure as white jade.

The demonic and evil cultivators on the side were full of fanaticism.

If the old demon hadn't been present, they would have pounced on it with howls, first having a good time, and then gnawing clean every inch of flesh and blood on it.

Finally, crack the bones and drink all the marrow.

Make a whistle out of broken bones and play with it every day.

"This is a big deal. If you fail, you will know the consequences."

The Angry Arhat who was sitting on the lotus throne spoke slowly, his voice was like muffled thunder, rumbling, causing the monsters in the cave to panic and show fear on their faces.

"But if it succeeds, Arhat can reshape his Dharmakaya, shed this half-demon, half-demon evil body, and go one step further."

The woman's tone was calm, but every word went straight to the core.

"How sure are you?" After a moment of silence, Angry Arhat spoke again.

"Fifty percent."

"Huh? Do you dare to take action even if it's [-]%?"

A cold light suddenly flashed in his one eye, and the Arhat let out a low groan, and all the demons and evil cultivators around him suddenly started to move.

It seemed as if he was about to rush out and tear this woman to pieces in the next second.

"I have [-]%. If we add Arhat, it will be [-]%!"

Unafraid of the terrifying gazes around her, the woman slowly moved forward. When she walked, every step she took seemed to be as powerful as an earthquake, and the ground would tremble.

The light surrounding him became even more dazzling.

Countless swaying golden flowers continue to emerge in the void, blooming with an incomparable and alluring fragrance.

The aroma spread, and the evil and twisted monsters all around suddenly became more honest.

The dirty, bloody, stinking, deformed body is constantly being purified and becomes clean and peaceful.

"enough!"

The Angry Arhat shouted, and the Demon Cave that was about to turn into a holy place turned back into a cold and dirty look again.

The demons with faint smiles on their faces suddenly woke up and became dirty and twisted again, unable to remember what had just happened.

"I can work with you."

As soon as the words "Angry Arhat" came out, a smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth.

"But I have one condition."

"It doesn't matter what you say, Arhat. As long as it doesn't go too far, I can make the decision for you." After a slight hesitation, the woman said.

"I want to borrow a copy of the "Original Sutra of All Education" taught by your Golden Flower Mother."

As soon as the words "Hate to kill Arhat" came out, the woman suddenly frowned.

"This... this matter is not difficult at all, but even though the Arhat is a Buddha body, there is no distinction between yin and yang.

But the "Original Sutra of All Education" taught by my Golden Flower Mother must be practiced in the Yin body.

Arhat’s move is..."

"Hahahaha, you little girl is very curious."

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter, and the violent sound waves directly blew away several little demons with powerful status at the entrance of the cave, and angrily killed the Arhat Shi Shiran said:

"To tell you the truth, although your "Manuscript of the Origin of Ten Thousand Educations" is also a large volume that directly refers to the Tao body, my "Mantra of Transcendence and Killing" is no less generous.

The reason I ask for this "Original Sutra of Ten Thousand Educations" is actually for my adopted daughter. "

"Righteous girl?"

There was a trace of surprise in her eyes. The woman raised her eyes and took a look at the murderous Arhat, who had a ferocious appearance and a terrifying look on his brows, and thought secretly in her heart.

This angry killing Arhat is full of murderous desires and uses killing to prove the way.

With such a kind of heart, he would actually accept an adopted daughter.

"Come on, Yu'er, I've seen this saint from the Golden Flower Mother Cult."

After hearing the sound, the woman's eyebrows showed a bit of curiosity.

I saw the lotus throne next to the angry Arhat.

A jade statue appeared out of nowhere.

This is a statue of Bodhisattva with a compassionate and peaceful face and clasped hands, exuding a warm atmosphere.

And at the feet of this Bodhisattva, stood a virgin girl with slender eyebrows and a strangely charming look.

"Is she the adopted daughter of the Arhat?" Looking at the jade Bodhisattva, the woman narrowed her eyes.
