Killing God

In the 12 years of the young Shen Shi's life so far, this journey to the south of Haizhou to learn from a teacher is definitely the most painful period in his memory.

For seven whole days, he had to follow the butcher into the teleportation circle at least three times a day, and sometimes even more times, because the butcher made it very clear that such a famous sect as Lingxiaozong has been passed down for thousands of years, with strict and many rules. Opening the mountain gate to accept disciples means that death is guaranteed once every five years, and the disciples who are lucky enough to be accepted into the sect must also arrive at the designated place on the stipulated day, and be escorted up the mountain by the immortal masters of the Lingxiao Sect.Once delayed, this hard-won fairy fate will be broken.

"This year happens to be the year for the opening of the sect to accept disciples. Otherwise, I think you might not be so lucky to get a place to worship the Lingxiao sect. But they have set a date for the introduction to be on the tenth day of April. Do you think we should hurry?"

Shen Shi, who had already had a huge shadow on entering the teleportation circle again, was speechless after hearing these words. In the end, despite the pain, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement, and followed the butcher into the teleportation circle again. Once again enduring the ant-biting pain that was almost unbearable at his age.

It was March [-]th when they arrived at Heimu City in Lanzhou, and it was only ten days before Ling Xiaozong's pick-up date.It's just that day after day, for seven whole days, he suffered more than three times of ant bites every day, which really made him miserable.

But with his physical strength, three times a day, at most four times, has reached a limit, almost to the point where he can't even walk, even the butcher dare not force him to continue, anyway, counting the time, barely If they could catch up, the two would stop and go like this, teleporting along the way.

If so, even if Shen Shi was given time to rest and recover on the way, when the butcher and Shen Shi finally passed the last teleportation circle and arrived in Haizhou seven days later, Shen Shi looked like he was seriously ill On the field, he looked weak and weak, and looked like he would fall down at any time.

Looking at Shen Shi's appearance, the butcher was also a little worried, and quickly took Shen Shi to find a secluded house to settle down, and let him rest for two days, which made the young man's face look a bit brighter. Bloody no longer looks like a living dead person like when he first arrived.

After recovering a little bit, Shen Shi still remembered the matter of apprenticeship and practice after all, and asked the butcher about the situation carefully, and learned that it is now the eighth day of April, and there are two days before he arrives at Lingxiaozong to receive the introduction. As for the pick-up location, it is a place called "Baixianyan", which is just outside Liuyun City in Haizhou where they are now, on the shore of the sea, and they can arrive within an hour.

Knowing this situation, Shen Shi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking about all kinds of difficulties, he finally struggled to get here, thinking that in two days, maybe he would be able to become a famous top cultivator in the world For a wealthy family, Shen Shi couldn't help feeling hot and yearning.

In addition to being eager, when Shen Shi was chatting with the butcher, he casually asked about the situation in Haizhou where the two of them were currently, and the situation in Liuyun City.If we talk about Haizhou, it is one of the most famous states among the ninety states in the main realm of Hongmeng. In terms of the land area of ​​a state alone, it is more than Yinzhou and Lanzhou combined. The reputation of "the first state in the south" of Hongmeng mainland.

Haizhou is an important town of cultivation in the Hongmeng world. It is extremely prosperous, there are many heavens and blessed places, and there are countless cultivation families in the territory. Among them, the most famous and famous is naturally the famous Lingxiaozong, which is listed among the four righteous in the world.

And now the Liuyun City where they are located is located on the shore of the sea, and it is the largest city in Haizhou. It is large in scale and prosperous. Falling in this city, there are as many as nine in number, which is even more icing on the cake. Cultivators from all over the world can be seen everywhere.

"Even if you look at the entire Hongmeng main world, apart from the unparalleled Tianhong City, Floating Cloud City is the first-class prosperous place." At the end, the butcher used this comment to make a conclusion about Floating Cloud City where they were. .

The next day, that is, the ninth day of April, Shen Shi woke up early and moved his body after getting up. He only felt light and light. It seemed that he was almost completely freed from the pain of ant bites, and even his spirit was fine. many.

The house where he and the butcher are currently living is a residential house on the surface, but in fact it is also a private house secretly set up by the gods with great powers in Floating Cloud City. No one comes here on weekdays, but all the people in the house General things are considered complete.Shen Shi casually looked around in the bedroom, and found the pen, ink, paper and inkstone without much effort. He hesitated for a moment, then sharpened the ink and picked up the brush. According to the habit of these years, he began to draw the ten talismans of yin and yang, five elements and ten talismans on the white paper runes.

Ever since he fled in a panic from Lucheng in Naxi that day, he was like a bereaved dog along the way, terrified all day long, not in the mood nor in the condition to stick to this habit of several years every day, until now in Floating Cloud City, Shen Shi seemed to be I felt a calmness I hadn't seen for a long time.

The ink is even and light, and the handwriting is smooth and soft. Although he hasn't practiced it for more than half a month, the habit he has persisted for many years has finally given him a deep instinct. The yin and yang runes drawn on the white paper are as complete as ever , there is nothing wrong with it.

After writing five blank sheets of paper, he put down the brush, Shen Shi's face showed a bit of satisfaction, he let out a sigh of relief, rubbed his wrists, and couldn't help but think of his missing father again, but the matter has come to an end , It's useless to think too much. After sitting in silence for a while, he stood up and left the room.

At this moment, the sky was already bright, and in the yard outside the house, the butcher had already got up and stood there at some point, facing the direction of the sunrise, with arms folded, eyes piercing, deep inhalation and long exhalation, a faint red gleam glowed all over his body, obviously He is practicing a Taoism.

Shen Shi's sharp eyes looked at the butcher's palm, and he saw that he was holding a spirit crystal in the palm of his right hand. The light flickered, and strands of shimmering light were continuously drawn from the crystal and absorbed into the butcher's skin. in vivo.

Because he was born in a disciple's family outside the Xuanyin Sect, and there are many Xuanyin Sect disciples in Tianyilou, Shen Shi has seen many similar scenes since he was a child.As for this method, it looks completely different from the way the disciples of Xuanyin Sect practiced in the past, but there is nothing strange about it. There are thousands of ways in the world, and there are all kinds of wonders. They are not from the same lineage, and the cultivation methods are all very different. big.

I just don't know what the cultivation methods in the Lingxiao Sect will be like?

Shen Shi stood aside, didn't bother the butcher's cultivation, just watched quietly like this.I saw the butcher kept this posture and practiced about a cup of tea. Then he stopped his posture and stood up. He took a deep breath, only to hear the bones all over his body creaking faintly, and the muscles all over his body.

After a while, the momentum slowly faded away, the butcher shook his neck, he seemed to be quite comfortable after practicing, standing there pondering for a while, he seemed to be somewhat excited, stretched out his right hand, five fingers empty Grabbing, a moment later, I saw a low-pitched "boom" in the palm of my hand, and a ball of fire condensed out of thin air.

Shen Shi stared at the ball of fire, a thought flashed in his mind, and he said in a low voice: "Fireball..."

Since the war between humans and monsters, the immortal way of cultivation of the human race has experienced thousands of years of development, and it has entered a heyday when it reaches the current world, and all kinds of supernatural powers are endless. However, in the final analysis, only the cultivation of gods There are two kinds of channeling method and five-element cultivation method.

People who practice all kinds of divine channeling methods are what are commonly called monks today, and they are also the absolute mainstream in the present world. The five-element technique is the spiritual power that manipulates the five elements of the world, and is divided into five systems of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Casting all kinds of spells through complex spells can be regarded as a very learned legal system.

It's just that the five elements technique is too profound and complicated for most people. The lowest level of first-order five elements technique alone requires far more energy to practice than a monk who practices ordinary divine channel techniques. However, the power of the five elements technique is actually a bit weaker.To mortals, a fireball technique is naturally terrifying. A single fireball is enough to burn a human body into coke. It caused some injuries to low-level monks in the Qi Refining Realm, but it was almost impossible to cause damage to the Primordial Condensation Realm monks who entered the room.

It is not very powerful, and it is difficult to cultivate. After a long time, the five-element technique that once flourished for a while has gradually weakened in the primordial world. Today, the five-element technique has become a cultivator who despises it. It is a kind of legal system that has completely become an appendage of the mainstream method of cultivating gods.

Generally speaking, it is because the monks have some personal interest in these five elements in addition to their cultivation, so they randomly pick up a few relatively simple five elements to practice. Most of them, because the cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm is relatively simple, basically there are only the most basic methods of absorbing spiritual energy into the body, solid cultivation, and various magical methods.Therefore, many monks in this realm will choose one or two five-element techniques, which can be regarded as a self-defense technique.

But even so, it can't change the decline of the Five Elements spells. Even though it is said that in the distant past, the Five Elements spells were once powerful. No one had seen that sight before.

As for the fireball technique performed by the butcher in front of him, it is the lowest level of the five elements, and it is also the most common first-level fire technique. "Rock Spike" is also known as the three low-level spells of the five elements, and it is the simplest and most common five elements spell.

The talismans that Shen Shiping practiced are actually a kind of small way specifically for the five elements. In simple terms, various five elements are used to form different talisman patterns with ten kinds of yin and yang, five elements and ten runes. On top of the talisman paper, the spiritual power is injected into the talisman paper through a process commonly known as "infusion of spirits", and a complete talisman can be made.

As long as monks learn one of the Five Elements spells, use the same spell to run their spiritual power and manipulate the same type of talisman, they can activate a complete spell with [-]% of their spiritual power, and at the same time, the casting speed can be much faster , can be said to save time and effort, but there are also disadvantages. The power of the spells cast through talismans will be weakened a lot.

That is because the way of talismans that Shen Shi practiced has a lot to do with the five-element magic, so he has some understanding of the five-element magic. At this moment, he suddenly saw the butcher cast this spell, and he recognized it at first sight. This is the most common fireball technique.

The butcher seemed to have heard the commotion here, and in the blink of an eye, he saw Shen Shi standing on the side of the yard staring at the fireball in his hand, and suddenly shook his palm, and saw the fireball suddenly brighten up, and after a few rounds of rapid rotation, , unexpectedly escaped from the butcher's palm, and rushed towards Shen Shi with a whistling sound.

Even though it was far away, a scorching heat wave was already rushing towards his face, Shen Shi was dumbfounded, and stood there for a while, at a loss, watching the fireball rushing to his eyes, the heat wave scorched his skin, as if he was about to It burns normally.
