Chapter 111 The smell of the incense burner
The Pangshan Daotong Prison Secretary Section is located in a towering 19-story tower, hidden behind towering ancient trees and heavy mist. On the first day of Fangfang's arrival, he just walked into the tower with awe and felt a violent shaking. The entire Prison Secretary Tower made a loud sound that only deaf people had, which shocked the dust on his head.
The Dusai Lin Sa smiled and said to her: "Don't be afraid, this is the case with the Forbidden Secret Tower. Fortunately, it is strong enough to withstand the tossing of the disciples of the Forbidden Secret Division."
Zuo Liuying is a harsh leader, but he never restricts his curiosity about his disciples. Fangfang can wander around the tower at will. The Langhuan Blessing Land that Mei Chuan Ant mentioned is on the third floor of the Forbidden Secret Tower, which is the collection of books by Pangshan Taoist Tong. Fangfang stays here almost every day as a rest for practice.
There are only fifty or sixty disciples in the entire banned secret department. A Taoist priest at the smoking swallowing realm is Fangfang's senior brother. She can also ask any pioneer for advice at any time. All disciples are happy to answer the questions of this junior sister, including the head of the tower himself. However, Fangfang rarely climbs to the top of the tower. She is still a little timid about the head of the tower and does not dare to disturb him.
Zuo Liuying was not in a hurry to let her new disciples participate in the exploration of the banned secrets, and she didn't even care about her progress in her cultivation. The maid Zeng Fu said to Fangfang: "Take it slow and learn more about the banned secrets until you can see what the roads are like in the distance. It's not too late to try to condense the Qi into a pill. The disciples of the banned secrets never compete with others in speed. We have time."
Zeng Fu herself is not a Taoist priest. She has a limited lifespan and smiles when she says this, as if this is her own point of view.
Fangfang has a lot of free time, but the statement about her being a genius disciple spread quickly, and she didn't understand the reason.
There is a half-person-high incense burner in a room on the thirteenth floor of the Forbidden Secret Tower. In the past few days, Fangfang has been lit candles here every night to read books, curled up on a comfortable lounge chair, and occasionally looked at the incense burner. She hopes to hear familiar sounds.
Chen Hao came during the day and said some inexplicable words, "Tonight Xiaoqiu and I will try to condense the Qi into pills. This is a competition. After the results are achieved, you will be the first to know."
Fangfang nodded with a smile. She didn't care much about the competition and even felt that the two of them were too competitive. However, that night, her expectations for the incense burner were stronger than usual. She thought Xiaoqiu would discuss the progress of her cultivation. It was not until after midnight that she sighed slightly and focused on reading a book about the early history of the Taoist dynasty.
"Fangfang."
A voice suddenly came and went. Fangfang raised her head in surprise. She was the only one in the room, but the sound rang beside her. She looked at the incense burner and found that there was a faint smoke rising inside.
This is a strange thing. At this moment, Xiaoqiu should be trying to condensate the elixir. How could he be distracted from talking to her? Moreover, the word "Fangfang" that came from the incense burner was not her official name, Qin Lingshuang. It is logically impossible to transmit voice.
She listened with her ears. There was no sound in the incense burner, and the clear smoke became lighter and fainter, almost nothing.
The sound of footsteps came from the door, and Lin Sa Bingzhu walked over. He smiled and said, "Do you want to read all Pang Shan's collection?"
Fangfang stood up and saluted, "Lindu Education."
Lin Sa often travels back and forth between Yangshen Peak and Laozu Peak, which has helped Qin Lingshuang's practice a lot. He did not forget another disciple, "I heard that Mu Xingqiu tried to condense Qi tonight to form a pill, is there any news?"
Fangfang shook her head. It was not a big deal for the two ordinary disciples to condense the alchemy. Lin Dujiao actually knew it, which shows that he was indeed very concerned about Xiaoqiu. "There is no news yet. Thank you for helping me find those alchemy methods."
That happened half a month ago. Fangfang was looking for the method of Condensing the Dan in the Blessed Land of Langhuan, but there were too many books here. She had been searching for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. Because these methods were prepared for an outsider, she was embarrassed to ask for help from her senior brothers and sisters she had just met, so she could only read them slowly by herself.
Lin Sa accidentally ran into her flirting with her book. After asking about the purpose, she didn't ask any more questions and told her which area and which bookshelves she could find a large number of alchemy methods.
Of course, Lin Sa knew who these methods were prepared for, and specially reminded Fangfang not to reveal his role in this matter.
"Mu Xingqiu will succeed. I'm not talking about the game. Even if he loses tonight, he can still bear it. Sooner or later, he will succeed in the elixir."
"Yeah." Fangfang nodded solemnly, then turned to the incense burner, and stopped talking, the clear smoke had disappeared.
"What's wrong?" Lin Sa asked.
"Just...I seemed to hear someone calling my name."
"Do you have a voice transmission incense burner?"
"There is one for...Mu Xingqiu."
Lin Sa understood and walked to the incense burner to observe carefully, "Have you ever talked to using the incense burner?"
"No, this is the first time I heard a sound coming from inside." Fangfang said softly. Xiaoqiu had never contacted her, and she had never thought of taking the initiative to transmit voice.
Lin Sa took a deep breath, and the aftertaste of the clear smoke remained. Qin Lingshuang was right. Someone had indeed transmitted the voice through the incense burner just now.
"That voice called me 'Fangfang', isn't that normal?" Fangfang carefully checked and the incense burner was only valid for names officially recorded in Pangshan's disciples' book.
Lin Sa did not answer, and after a while he said, "I'll go and have a look."
"Is there anything wrong?" Fangfang's worry was a little more.
"No." Lin Sa replied with certainty, "I guess it was Mu Xingqiu who accidentally did something to the incense burner when he broke through the illusion of the elixir. This kind of thing happens occasionally. There is another possibility that the person who called your nickname is not Mu Xingqiu. Once I even heard two Taoist priests quarreling in the incense burner, but I didn't know any of them."
Fangfang felt a little relieved, but she no longer had the time to read books. She stayed by the incense burner and recited scriptures softly, hoping to help Xiaoqiu in the distance.
Lin Sa left the secret tower, walked out of the Taiyuan, and looked into the southeastern Muma Valley. It was indeed not a big deal that the sound of the incense burner was unexpectedly heard, but he smelled extremely uneasy in the aftertaste of the clear smoke, and the chaotic rhythm seemed to be a sign that someone was about to fall into a devil.
Mu Xingqiu was just an ordinary disciple, not a Taoist family member. He couldn't get any care at the ancestor peak. Lin Sa thought for a while and decided to go to Muma Valley in person.
He took out an iron ruler to fly in the air, feeling very regretful. If Mu Xingqiu really wanted to be possessed by the devil, he had to forcefully stop the disciple from condensing the pill. This may cause permanent damage, but it is also more powerful than being possessed by the devil and being taken away.
During the flight, Lin Sa sighed a lot that ordinary disciples had difficulties in making progress on the road of cultivation and had to be truly outstanding. He was also known as a genius disciple back then. After entering the Forbidden Secretology, his practice made rapid progress, but he had no potential. Since he reached the realm of Foxia, he began to struggle. The Taoist disciples of the same year still made steady progress. It seemed that the practice had just begun.
Lin Sa knew what his crux was. Like most ordinary disciples, in their eyes, the Taoist sect was a mountain that suddenly appeared in front of them. When they first climbed, they were so excited that they used too much force and were tired after climbing less than halfway through the mountain. On the contrary, the Taoist sects looked up at the mountains since they were young and were familiar with the road to climbing. They knew when to use force and when to accumulate strength.
The disciples received the same teachings. Lin Sa also knew the obstacles of the road to cultivation, but he just couldn't adjust his mentality.
Mu Xingqiu is a unique disciple. He has the most lacking character among ordinary disciples: from the very beginning, he placed himself on the same position as the Taoist disciples. He was righteous, and there was neither arrogant nor excessive effort.
Meng Yuanhou liked this disciple, and Lin Sa also felt that he had a future in training, but unfortunately in the eyes of the first people, such qualities are everywhere among the Taoist disciples, and there is nothing special about it.
Lin Sa sighed softly in the air, and the gap between the descendants of Taoist sect and ordinary disciples became wider and wider. Even Zuo Liuying, who was obsessed with the gods, could not see through it.
He soon flew to the Wrangler Valley and saw several teenagers monitoring the movements of the horses. They did not notice the flying people above their heads and were excitedly talking about tonight's Dan Ning competition. They all believed that Mu Xingqiu would be the winner.
Excellent disciples often influence the people around them, and Lin Sa once again felt sorry for Mu Xingqiu.
When he was more than ten steps away from the house, Lin Sa landed on the ground. If Mu Xingqiu was still in the process of condensed pills, outsiders could not rush in. He put away the iron ruler, took out the bronze mirror, and carefully detected the situation in the house.
This detection didn't matter, Lin Sa's body was shocked, and the bronze mirror almost broke out.
He had to be afraid. The magic power in the room was far beyond his expectations. Not to mention a disciple who was condensing the pill, even he himself did not have the ability.
Things are different! Lin Sa walked towards the house with big strides.
If this was not the Muma Valley in Pangshan, Lin Sa would be more alert. If he was a Taoist priest of the Five Elements Department who often deals with demons, he might have thought for a while, but he was a tutor in the banned secrets and was very concerned about the young man in the room, which made him ignore the possible dangers and think that the powerful mana was just an accident.
The room was very dark, and Lin Sa, who was in the realm of Gu Xia, had to adapt for a while before he could vaguely see the situation inside: Mu Xingqiu sat on the bed, his face turned red like the freshly released steel, his breathing heavy, and every stroke seemed to be using all his strength, which was one of the very obvious signs of being involved in the magic.
The man in the middle of the house surprised Lin Sa even more.
The great law enforcement master Shen Jun was covered with black air. It was this black air that covered everything, and even the unblemished sky eyes could not penetrate. Shen Jun held a small oil lamp in his right hand and twisted his left hand hard, as if he was competing with something.
Lin Sa's first reaction was that Shen Jun was helping Mu Xingqiu. It was not until the great law enforcement master turned his head that he realized that he was wrong. The face, known for its calmness and solemnity, has now become ferocious and terrifying, and black air is constantly spraying out from his orifices.
"You're coming just right." Shen Jun's voice was filled with crazy excitement, and black gas surged from his mouth. "I grabbed the demon seed, it was in my hands, and I will soon let it appear. I made a contribution to Pangshan Taoist Tong, you are the first witness."
Lin Sa took out the iron ruler, which was his main magic weapon. "Fellow Daoist Shen, you have become a demon. If you still have a trace of reason, please follow me to go back to the ancestor peak."
Lin Sa knew that he was not an opponent of Taoist Xingluo, but he could not retreat here.
He glanced at the incense burner that was pouring on the table, and was about to call out Qin Lingshuang's name when several black gas rushed towards him at the same time.
