In the main hall of the Golden Guards Martial Arts School, Zhao Chen, who bought ten incense sticks at once, shared his experience of "entering tranquility" with his master and senior brother. He saw that Huang Xianjun seemed to be in a good mood, so he tried to

Asked:

"Master, can spells only be used by experts in the realm of 'mana'?"

He wanted to find out what level of cultivation Fang Xuzi had, who cursed the original owner to death.

"Serious spells can indeed be practiced only if you have to be in the realm of 'mana', but some superficial spells can even be mastered by a village man. However, these latter types of spells are difficult to practice and easy to break, and there are many taboos. Most of them use

Black dog blood, children's urine, etc. can be broken, so it is of no value." At this point, Huang Xianjun glanced at Zhao Chen, as if he was afraid that this apprentice would go astray, and continued, "Did you see me using that during the martial arts competition?

You want to ask about the 'Golden Dart' spell, right? But my situation is a bit special.

"When I was a teacher, I was also a prominent figure in the 'Yuwang Sect'. I have mastered more than ten natal spells at a young age, and the 'Golden Dart' is just the most inconspicuous and least powerful one among them.

"But after I made a big mistake for my master and was expelled from the master's sect, the only thing that remained and could be used was the 'Golden Dart' spell.

"But even so, using my current body to activate the 'spell' will cost me a lot, which is why I lost in the martial arts competition.

"Spells that were once seriously practiced are still like this, let alone those that rely on various external objects to be forcibly performed!

"Once the taboo is broken... Oh, the so-called 'taboo' refers to some situations that need to be avoided when forcibly practicing magic. Some magic techniques require the user not to eat beef and mutton, and some require the user to soak in the sea all year round, etc.

But... once the taboo is broken, or there is backlash, the caster will die immediately... and may even turn into a monster or evil spirit!"

"Monster? Evil spirit?" Zhao Chen was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect the sequelae of a failed spell to be so serious.

"Because the source of many spells comes from evil spirits. After breaking the taboo or encountering backlash, the spells will reversely devour the owner and transform into evil spirits... As for what evil spirits are, you don't need to know yet." Huang Xianjun paused for a moment.

The owner solemnly emphasized again, "In short, it is best not to touch spells before entering the magic realm! If you need to fight, wouldn't it be good to use a fire gun? It is much more powerful than half-baked spells."

Indeed, firearms can be regarded as powerful long-range attack "spells"! Although he strongly agreed in his heart, Zhao Chen still pretended not to give up and asked:

"Are there no exceptions? Is there really no magic that can be used by infuriating energy or refining the orifice?"

"Of course there are exceptions. There are some spell-like abilities, or 'superpowers'. Although they are not as powerful as regular spells, there are indeed no restrictions on their use... However, in fact, they may cost more than taboos.

Much bigger!" At this point, Huang Xianjun rarely raised his face and sneered.

Seeing that the master's mood seemed to be a bit wrong, Zhao Chen wisely did not ask any more questions, but changed the subject and talked about some difficulties that the original owner encountered when practicing "Taiyi Five Elements Boxing". As a result, he got the master and senior brother one by one.

Guidance.

After all the problems were solved and the master picked up the tea cup, Zhao Chen took the initiative to say goodbye, met at the door and listened to the gossip about Xiaosi Fengqu, and left the martial arts hall.

The third senior brother Feng Cang took his junior brother all the way to the door of the martial arts hall, and then turned back to the main hall and said to the master in doubt: "Master, is it really necessary to give such a precious method to my junior brother? With your strength, I want to

It should be quite easy to go to the county alone without being seen, and as long as you are fine, the Sand Snake Gang will not dare to do anything to me and my junior brothers...

"Now there is an additional fire gun team to escort us. It seems safe, but the target is bigger."

Hall Master Huang Xianjun took a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "If I didn't use the 'Golden Dart' in the previous competition, then what you said is indeed correct... But using this useless body to forcefully use my own magic will definitely damage me.

Although it won't take long for your energy to recover, your luck will be very bad in the past half month... so I have to rely on the influence of your junior brother's family to escort you.

"It's just a secret book that has been widely circulated. What's valuable is my own 'translation notes'. It's nothing if I gave it to him. It just shows the sincerity of the future cooperation between the two companies.

"However, your little junior brother is extremely talented and is likely to reach the realm of magic in the future. That's why I gave him a few words of advice to prevent him from going astray."

"I see..." Feng Cang suddenly realized, and then said with a smile, "Master, I thought you would introduce my junior brother to the 'Yuwang Sect'."

"Our 'Yuwang Sect' does not lack one or two cultivation seeds, so there is no need to be too diligent...

"And I just mentioned it so many times. If he wants to go, he will naturally go...and I will not introduce more people to join the sect!" As he said that, Huang Xianjun's face darkened again.

When Feng Cang saw this, although he didn't know the reason, he also knew that he shouldn't continue this topic and turned to something else: "Master, we are not businessmen. In fact, you don't need to accept the 'trade route' to Dunhuang...

…And if we don’t accept this compensation, the Sand Snakes’ proposal to force us to leave two towns and one township is unlikely to be passed.”

"I know...but I have a vague feeling that the atmosphere in the town is not quite right. It may be detrimental to me to stay any longer. In addition, my energy has been at a low point recently, so it is better to leave the Chijin area." Huang Xianjun, the owner of the hall, said solemnly.

said.

……

On the other side, Zhao Chen, who left the martial arts hall, did not go home immediately. Instead, he wandered on the street, familiarizing himself with the customs and customs of this world. He casually said to the boy beside him: "Fengqu, I remember what you said yesterday.

, there is a 'rooster thief' who specializes in stealing roosters in the east of the town?"

He had read the fragments of the "Secret Record of the Curse of Yazhu" and the introduction to the low-end version of the "Soul-Destroying Curse" in the exchange list, and knew that the taboo for using this spell was not to listen to the rooster's crow.

The so-called "chicken thief" is probably Fang Xuzi.

Seeing his young master asking, Fengqu Chicken nodded and said: "Yes, there are not many families raising roosters in the east of the town, but they have been stolen one after another in the past few months. Mr. Xing sent people to keep watch, but still nothing happened.

Before I knew it, the rooster was gone... This case has not been solved yet.

"The detectives in the town are almost dying of worry."

From this point of view, that Fang Xuzi is indeed not a serious "mana" expert. Now that he has lost half of his soul, he must have gone crazy or died...

If he turned into the monster the master said, nearly ten hours had passed since last night, and he would have been discovered long ago.

With this in mind, Zhao Chen asked Fengqu: "Do you know which house lost the chicken first?"

"I know, it's the backyard of Chunying's owner's house..." Fengqu replied first, but then he reacted and said in surprise, "Second Young Master, do you want to investigate the 'chicken thief'?"

"Take me to Chunying Tower to have a look." Zhao Chen directly ordered.

Fengqu did not move, but looked at his young master Chen strangely, and asked with certainty: "Second young master, are you really going to investigate the case?"

"What? What's the problem?" Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows and noticed that something seemed wrong in Fengqu's tone.

"Chunying House is on the street next door...but, it's a brothel there. If Madam knew that I took you to that kind of place, she would probably beat me to death!" Fengqu stuttered in reply.

Brothel... The living standards of the residents of Bingquan Town are better than I imagined! Zhao Chen clicked his tongue a few times. Even if he didn't know much about the world, he knew that entertainment venues like this must be opened in prosperous areas. After all,

What can you think about when you have to keep warm?

No wonder Bingquan, Chijin, and Jinwan, the two towns and one township in the Chijin Mountain area, are headed by Bingquan Town!

After sighing for a while, Zhao Chen also gave up the idea of ​​going to Chunying Tower.

The reason why he persisted in the first place was just to have a defensible excuse when reporting Aunt Mei to Cheap Daddy - even if he wanted to make up lies, he had to conduct an on-the-spot investigation first, right? He didn't really want to go there by himself

Catch that demon.

As a graduate student majoring in archeology, although he likes to take risks, he is by no means reckless.

However, just when Zhao Chen was about to find another reason, there was a sudden commotion on the street, and screams and cries could not be heard for a while.
