There are only three third-grade divine catchers in the Divine Catcher Hall, but none of the second-grade ones.

And another third-level divine arrester is currently far away in the East China Sea to investigate. Yan Tianying has to sit in the capital again and cannot move lightly. Wanfa Zhenren is also accompanying Venerable Liuli to sit in the Yunding Demon Palace, guarding the seal and guarding against the mighty Bodhisattva.

destroy.

With manpower stretched thin, Yan Tianying had no choice but to urgently recall Mu Qingxue, who was on vacation, and send him to the Western Region for support.

The day after Mu Qingxue left, Gu Hongye also followed two experienced fifth-level headhunters out of the city to track down a flower-picking thief with outstanding dexterity and swordsmanship who had committed eucalyptus crimes one after another in the Gyeonggi area.

The flower-picking thief was not only good at Qinggong, he was also good at disguise, and he had a strong sense of counter-reconnaissance. Even if everything went well, Gu Hongye would probably have to travel for a while before he could come back.

Just like that, the Shen family courtyard, which had been bustling for just a few days, became deserted again.

No, although Shen Lang is the only one left in the middle part of Xingyefang and all the neighbors are deserted, Shen's house is really not deserted.

Xiao Zhao, who has been sleeping for almost two months, has accumulated too much energy and needs to be released urgently. With him, the house will never be deserted.

By the way, after Xiao Zhao woke up, Shen Lang didn't know how to explain his "lost and found" to Mu Qingxue, so he kept hiding Xiao Zhaoxue and didn't let him show his face in front of Mu Qingxue.

When Mu Qingxue was at home, Xiao Zhao would sneak out quietly and go to other places in Xingye Square, and even go to other markets to play.

Sometimes it even takes the rabbit out with it.

Shen Lang wasn't worried about this.

Although there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital, I don’t know how many masters and strongmen are hidden there, but Xiao Zhao’s current strength is no problem for a fourth-grade Dachengdu in seconds. And the fourth-grade Dacheng warriors, even in the capital, are also among the backbone, backbone first-level masters.

In a capital city with a population of over one million, it is not something you can easily bump into just by walking around.

Xiaoya is not weak, and she has healing skills. If the two little demons join forces, it will be difficult for warriors below the third level, and even magic cultivators below the fourth level, to cause any harm to them.

The two little guys are small, agile and flexible. They can move around like the wind. They also have very strong wild intuition. They can sense which places are guarded by experts. They will not trespass into such places and cause trouble. They only play in the streets.

, if the abnormality is not exposed too much, it will not cause trouble.

Of course, occasionally, the two little guys are so cute that some little girls see them and chase them playfully, trying to catch them and take them home.

The two little guys would sometimes pretend to be captured by mistake, and the little girl would hug them happily for a while, and then escape halfway.

With this hand, the cat and rabbit made several little girls cry.

When Mu Qingxue left the capital again and went on a business trip to the northwest, the cat stopped hiding when going out and wandered around openly.

The followers are no longer limited to little rabbits, but have also tamed several large and small wild cats and domestic cats. They often patrol the streets with a group of subordinates, fight cats and dogs, and howl proudly in all directions, which is really majestic.

They also found a good place, which was the "Royal Imperial Garden" located in the northeast corner of the capital.

The Imperial Garden is a royal garden that covers an extremely large area and contains lakes, streams, gardens, animal gardens, and countless pavilions and pavilions.

Of course, idlers can't just go in. They have to wait until the emperor shows mercy, celebrates with the people, and opens the imperial garden before they can go in and have fun occasionally.

However, the royal family and nobles can come and go freely. Every day, many noble ladies and ladies, with servants and guards, ride in carriages and horses to play.

The guards in the imperial garden are not very strict.

In such a large garden, with people coming and going every day, it is impossible to have a large number of experts permanently guarding it. At most, there are guards guarding a few entrances, and no one is watching other places.

Therefore, although the imperial garden prohibits the entry and exit of idlers, courageous Jianghu people and even market scoundrels sometimes dare to sneak in over the wall.

As long as they don't collide with the nobles, set fire to the forest, or hunt indiscriminately, no one will specifically deal with them.

Anyone can sneak in, let alone two little animals, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Ya.

The two little goblins not only climbed over the wall to play, but sometimes they were deliberately seen by the aristocratic ladies who went to the imperial garden to play, and then they were deliberately caught and took a ride in.

The two little goblins were having fun themselves, but they did not forget Shen Lang. They told him about the great place in the Royal Garden and invited him to play with them.

However, Shen Lang has been busy practicing recently and has no time to play, so he has to wait for another day.

Xiaoyu, who prides himself on being a loyal minister and often encourages himself with Prime Minister Zhuge, often quarrels with the cat he regards as his "funny master" and has an attitude of "fish and cat are incompatible, loyalty and traitor are incompatible", but

In his heart, he really wants to play happily with cats and rabbits.

It's a pity that although the fish can come ashore, as a fish, no matter how low-key you are, rolling around in a water ball, you will still be shocked.

Maybe it will attract Taoist monks and capture it for research and training of Taoist weapons.

Xiaoyu had no choice but to stay at home with Shen Lang and Xiaogu.

Speaking of which, Shen Lang's ten-day vacation is actually over.

But Yan Tianying seemed to know about his "Double Fifth Grade in Magic and Martial Arts" and asked Gu Hongye to tell him that after his vacation was over, he should go to the Imperial Capital Taoist Temple to continue practicing and there was no need to return to the Divine Catching Hall to respond to missions.

So Shen Lang stayed at home for another ten days after the vacation, and successfully practiced both sides of the "Indestructible Body of Vajra" technique, and also completed the fifth-level advanced change of "Water Mirror Image Detection Technique".

Then I went to the Imperial Capital Taoist Temple.

Speaking of the "Water Mirror Image Detection Technique", the more he practices this technique, the more extraordinary Shen Lang feels.

The advanced change "Water Moon Phantom Body" when he was in the sixth level had already given him a lot of help. It played a key role in the two battles between the "Adventure in the Legacy Mansion" and the Seven Spider Sisters. Liao Xun

Eunuch Liao was also tricked by this technique.

But now, the fifth-grade advanced change of the Water Mirror Image Appraisal Technique has the ability to "realize illusions at will, and change shapes and images".

It can instantly switch between the real body and the "water moon phantom body" within a hundred feet, which is called a magical skill of displacement.

And this technique is not over yet, there will be some advanced changes at the fourth level.

A spell that only started at level 7 could actually have so many and powerful advanced changes, which made Shen Lang feel that this technique might have a lot of background.

It's a pity that when I first learned this technique from Qu Damu's military advisor Ge Qingyun, I didn't inquire about the origin of this technique.

However, as far as Ge Qingyun's wild Taoism is concerned, this technique must have been acquired through "accidental encounters". If I go to Nanyang in the future, I will ask him to find out where he found this magic technique.

In fact, Shen Lang really has no shortage of magic skills now.

In the past month or so in the Taoist Academy, he had scanned more than a hundred spells, ranging from ninth to fifth grades.

There are also the true secret volumes of Buddhism and the large Buddhist scriptures given to him by Venerable Liuli. Before he is promoted to the fourth rank, the existing magic reserves are completely enough for him to practice.

The reason why I went to the Imperial Taoist Academy was just to scan more magic materials, broaden my experience, increase my knowledge of magic, and learn alchemy knowledge.

Speaking of fifth-level spells, Shen Lang is planning to cultivate an attack spell and a control spell in addition to the defensive spell "Indestructible Body".

For attack spells, it is natural to learn the fifth-grade advanced secret technique "Prajna Palm" from the Buddhist True Palm Technique Series.

The Buddhist True Secret Scroll obtained in "Adventure in the Legacy Mansion", its series of attack palms, has been advanced to the first level, and can be cultivated into the "Great Sun Tathagata Palm".

Shen Lang was looking forward to this first-grade spell.

According to the description of the spell's effect in the secret scroll, this is a "falling from the sky" palm technique.

At the first-level realm, using this technique, one blow is enough to level a hundred-foot hill.

This palm can also lock the enemy's aura and seal the space around the enemy, so that even if the enemy has the ability to teleport, he must first forcefully catch the palm that falls from the sky and directly covers the heavenly spirit.

If you want to cultivate the Great Sun Tathagata Palm, you must advance from the ninth-grade Powerful Grasping Hand, the seventh-grade Powerful Vajra Palm, the fifth-grade Prajna Palm, and the third-grade Sumeru Mountain King Palm.

The middle is indispensable.

As long as there is a palm technique that is not completed, the foundation will be defective and you will not be able to practice the "Great Sun Tathagata Palm".

Therefore, Shen Lang's first choice for the fifth-level attack spell is "Prajna Palm".

As for the fifth-level control spell, he planned to practice a spell called "Forgetfulness Curse".

This spell can make people forget the martial arts and spells they have learned, and even the instinctive muscle memory that has been formed, will be forgotten under this spell, and they will become completely defenseless lambs to be slaughtered. The effect is very overbearing.

Of course, any spell has the possibility of being resisted and exempted, or even restrained and countered.

However, there are many kinds of magic methods. If this method doesn't work, there will be another method. If that method doesn't work, there will be another method. Anyway, there is always a method that can be applied.

This is also a major factor that makes legal practice difficult.

Even Shen Lang would rather meet a fourth-grade accomplished warrior than a fifth-grade magic cultivator.

Of course, after he has scanned enough spells and has a rich enough magic background to be able to recognize all kinds of magic at a glance, combined with his third-level "slow-motion" vision, fifth-level magic cultivation may also be possible for him.

It might not be that difficult.

Today, the person guarding the gate of the Taoist temple is still the seventh-grade Dharma practitioner, Uncle Zhang.

When Shen Lang rode his horse and arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple, Uncle Zhang was doing the same trick as last time, throwing and catching fireballs.

"Uncle Zhang, I haven't seen you for ten months. How are you?"

Shen Lang got off his horse, led the horse over, and said hello with a smile.

Uncle Zhang also remembers Shen Lang and laughs when he sees him:

"It's your boy, his name is Shen Lang, right? How come you're so busy every time you go out? Although the Taoist academy doesn't allow students to go out, they can't just linger around and waste their Taoist careers!"

"That's what I taught you."

This was good advice. Of course, Shen Lang could only accept it with thanks. He also took out a purple gourd and handed it to Uncle Zhang:

"Uncle Zhang, this is Zuihonglou's signature wine. It is said to be a hundred-year-old wine. I don't know much about wine. I don't know if it is. If you don't mind, why don't you try this wine and appreciate its age?"

Uncle Zhang’s eyes lit up and he laughed:

"Zuihonglou's signature aged wine is not cheap! The hundred-year-old wine is the tribute wine that everyone in the palace likes. I am only willing to pay two pounds for it during the holidays. Since you kid is willing to give it up, I won't be polite!"

As he spoke, he took the wine gourd, opened the cork and sniffed it gently, with a look of intoxication on his face. He then raised the gourd, poured down a sliver of wine, opened his mouth to take a sip, closed his eyes and savored it for a while, nodding repeatedly:
To be continued...
