Killing God

When night fell on Herring Island, the large boat that Shen Shi and others took returned to the pier south of Herring Island. When Shen Shi and Gan Ze disembarked together, Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai also walked off. .

Gan Ze said hello to Shen Shi, and went back to the cave on his own, but Shen Shi slowed down and waited for a while on the side of the road, when Xu Yanzhi and Zeng Zhibai walked over, he went up to greet Xu Yanzhi : "Senior Sister Xu, I have something I want to ask."

Xu Yanzhi was a little surprised, but still nodded, and nodded to Zeng Zhibo, Zeng Zhibo left first, Xu Yanzhi turned to Shen Shi and said, "What's the matter?"

Shen Shidao: "Senior Sister Xu, you were working in the Five Elements Hall at the beginning, but now you are here on Yaodao, which senior is hosting the Five Elements Hall now, is it still the Zhang Senior Brother?"

Xu Yanzhi nodded, and said, "That's right, senior brother Zhang Yihui is currently in charge of the affairs of the Five Elements Hall, and no one is added. As you know, the Five Elements Hall has... er, relatively few things."

As Xu Yanzhi was talking, he himself laughed first, and Shen Shi naturally understood the deserted side of the Five Elements Hall, so he nodded and smiled knowingly.Xu Yanzhi glanced at him and said, "Why, do you want to learn other five-element techniques?"

Shen Shi pondered for a moment, and said: "Exactly, I think the Five Elements technique seems quite interesting. If you can learn a few more techniques, it will be a good thing for self-defense."

Xu Yanzhi said with a "Oh" and said with a smile: "It's a good feeling. A newcomer disciple like you who likes the Five Elements technique is very rare nowadays. Brother Zhang must be happy to see you. I'll call him later. Hello, you can go there by yourself."

Shen Shi smiled and said: "Thank you, Senior Sister Xu, um, but there is one more thing, I would like to ask Senior Sister Xu."

Xu Yanzhi said: "What, you say."

Shen Shi said: "I don't know if there is a way to teach talismans here in the Five Elements Hall, or in our school's art hall?"

Xu Yanzhi frowned, and said, "Do you want to learn talismans?"

Shen Shi nodded.

Xu Yanzhi pondered for a moment, his face became more solemn, and after a while, he stared at Shen Shi, and said seriously: "Mr. And you guessed it right, although the art hall of this sect is inconspicuous, there are many profound magical powers inside, including talismans." At this point, her voice paused, and then she continued, saying, "But I still want to remind you that regardless of the five elements and talismans, they are all difficult and complicated Taoist magic powers. Many people think that they are afraid of the road. If you want to achieve something, you must consume a lot of energy. You are still in the state of Qi Refining It seems unwise to be greedy for too much, what do you think?"

Shen Shi was silent, Xu Yanzhi's tone was gentle and sincere, obviously these words came from the heart, Shen Shi also hesitated for a while, and after a while, he nodded and said: "Thank you for your teaching, senior sister, let me go back and talk again." Think about it."

Xu Yanzhi smiled sweetly, seeming to add a bit of charm to the night, reached out and patted Shen Shi's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "You are still young, and you still have a lot of time in the future, especially if you can break through to condensate In the Yuan Realm, the lifespan can be doubled at least, so why worry about not being able to practice various Taoism and supernatural powers in the future."

Shen Shi nodded, smiled without saying a word.

※※※

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Shi got up early. First, he went to the herring market to exchange the spiritual material in the Little Ruyi Ring for a spirit crystal. After making up his mind, he turned and walked towards the Five Elements Hall.

As in the past, although the Five Elements Hall is close to the lively Baihe Hall, the gate of the hall is cold and empty, and it looks a bit bleak.When Shen Shi came here last time, Sun You was with him, and then he met Zhong Qingzhu, but this time when he came here, there was no one around, even if he walked to the entrance of the Five Elements Hall and looked inside, he saw The inside is also empty, and the distinctive five-color ground is exposed in front of the eyes, as if it symbolizes five strange powers.

Shen Shi stepped into the door of the Hall of Five Elements, and called tentatively: "Brother Zhang?"

"Huh?" An answer sounded from the depths of the Five Elements Hall, and a moment later, a man came out from behind the red door among the five-colored stone gates. It was Zhang Yihui, a disciple of the Shushu Hall who guarded the Five Elements Hall.

Seeing Zhang Yihui approaching, Shen Shi saluted quickly, Zhang Yihui glanced at him up and down, his face suddenly showed some doubts, he seemed to feel that the junior in front of him looked familiar, he hesitated and said: "Are you ..."

Shen Shi said: "Little brother Shen Shi, I came here a few days ago."

Zhang Yihui thought about it carefully, and suddenly said: "Oh, I remembered, you bought a water archery here, why did you come here again? Oh, could it be that you have doubts about practicing that water archery? Are you hindered?" He chuckled, waved his hands and said, "The five elements technique is inherently difficult, and it is really difficult to practice it at the beginning, but as long as you keep practicing, you will naturally discover the beauty of it gradually. Well, what doubts do you have? Just ask me."

Seeing Zhang Yihui's all-encompassing appearance, as if he was afraid that he would give up the five-element technique, Shen Shi smiled a little bit in astonishment, thinking that this Senior Brother Zhang is a straightforward person, and it seems that he is not a good person here in the surgery hall. Feeling a sense of belonging, he said with a smile immediately: "Brother Zhang misunderstood, the younger brother came here today to buy another first-order spell, and also wanted to..."

"What?" In the middle of speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Yihui directly. He widened his eyes, looked at Shen Shi with joy, and said, "You mean you want to learn another technique?"

Shen Shi nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhang Yihui was surprised and joyful, and said, "Looking at you like this, could it be that you have fallen in love with the magical power of five elements? Uh, I remember that the last time you learned water archery was not too long ago. So, how is your cultivation going?"

Shen Shi smiled and said: "Little brother has been practicing water archery for a while, and he has achieved a little bit. I really like it a little bit in my heart. I just have free time these few days. Come and have a look if I think about it. Maybe it's okay to learn another technique." of."

Zhang Yihui laughed loudly, clapped his hands together and said, "Great, there is no newcomer disciple like you who really likes the Five Elements technique here in the surgery hall. Come on, what do you want to learn this time?"

Shen Shi felt a little strange, looking at this senior brother Zhang, he thought that when he came here last time, this senior brother Zhang didn't seem to be so emotionally exposed in his memory. That time senior sister Xu was also here, most of the two talked It was Xu Yanzhi who said it, and Senior Brother Zhang seemed to be silent most of the time.

But maybe he was really happy after seeing that he liked the Five Elements technique, Shen Shi didn't think about it for a while, and said: "My little brother just wants to learn one more technique, and I don't particularly want to learn it specifically, maybe' Fireball', or 'Rock Spike'?"

Zhang Yihui said "Oh", glanced at him, and after pondering for a moment, the joy on his face faded a little, and he became a little more thoughtful, and then said seriously: "Junior Shen, if you just like the Five Elements Art If you want to learn anything, you don’t need to force it. However, if you want to defend yourself and fight, brother, I have some experience, which is different from what you think. I don’t know if you want to hear it or not?”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zhang, please teach me."

Zhang Yihui nodded, and said: "The spell you learned before is water archery, which is one of the three most common spells in the first-order spells. Its power is almost equal to that of fireball and rock thorn. The first-level spells are considered above-average. From my point of view, you are only at the Qi Refining Realm, and a water archery is enough as an offensive spell. If you want to learn other spells, you can start from enhancing your own strength From a point of view, I think you should learn some other rare auxiliary spells, such as 'wind swiftness', 'fire barrier', 'quick sand' and 'slowness', which are most suitable."

As he said that, he smiled and said: "The reason for this, if you think about it yourself, maybe you can figure it out?"

Shen Shi frowned and thought, stood in the Hall of Five Elements and looked at the ground under his feet. After a long silence, his eyes gradually became brighter and brighter. After a while, he raised his head and said with a smile, "So that's it, I understand."

Zhang Yihui showed some appreciation on his face, and said with a smile, "Let's hear it."

Shen Shi said: "Even if I have learned water archery and fireball at the same time, at most the two spells are cast sequentially, and it is absolutely impossible to release them at the same time. In addition, it is unlikely that I will encounter high-level monsters now. The attribute will not be too obvious, so it seems to me that it doesn't make much sense to know a fireball or a rock spur."

Zhang Yihui nodded and said, "Not bad, what else?"

Shen Shi smiled and said: "But if I know an auxiliary technique, such as the wind speed technique to make myself faster, and the slow technique to slow down the opponent, although I heard that the power of the first-order technique can only last A short while, but enough to give me more time to cast water arrows, or whatever."

Zhang Yihui clapped his palms and laughed loudly, and said: "That's right. Although this principle is simple, there are not many people in the world who can understand it. Junior brother Shen, you really have some talent for the five elements. After all, you want to learn now what?"

Different from Xu Yanzhi's performance last night, Zhang Yihui didn't seem to have thought that Shen Shi's practice of Qi Refining Realm would be greedy, and he didn't care if it would delay Shen Shi's practice. It's just a joy to learn the five elements technique.

Shen Shi thought for a while, and said: "Little brother is still a layman in the five elements of magic, senior brother has been immersed in silver for a long time in this way, I wonder if you can give me one or two suggestions?"

Zhang Yihui pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and said: "If I have to tell you, I think you'd better choose one of the 'fire barrier' or 'slowness', the fire barrier can be used to defend yourself, and the slowness can be used to slow down the opponent The speed is good in actual combat."

Shen Shi thought for a while, and said: "Then I'd better learn the fire barrier technique."

Zhang Yihui laughed, looking very happy, and said: "Very good, the old rule, three spirit crystals!"

Shen Shi smiled and took out three spirit crystals from his arms, and handed them to Zhang Yihui. Zhang Yihui took them, and when he turned around and was about to take Shen Shi to the red stone gate in the Five Elements Hall, he heard Shen Shi behind him. Shi's voice said:

"Brother Zhang, if possible, I would like to ask again, can you teach me the art of talisman?"
