Chapter 193 Yu Daoren's "The Secret Book of Zhou Tian"
"The ancients were not deceiving me! Serious people really love to keep diaries!"
In the study, Fang Xun was flipping through a book with excitement on his face. There were scattered books on the desk in front of him.
After he killed Fenglin Taoist and Su Hao, he didn't even bother to clean up the scene and immediately went to Fenglin Taoist's residence, not paying any attention to the chaos in the government office and the Six Gates headquarters.
Su Hao treated this retainer and colleague very well. Taoist Fenglin lived alone in a secluded courtyard.
Fang Xun quickly dug out a large number of Taoist classics and martial arts secrets, among which he found a set of "Zhou Tian Secret Book" and the book in his hand that recorded some notes on the experience and insights of Taoist Fenglin on the art of Tianji Feng Shui.
Among them, the "Zhou Tian Secret Book" consists of a total of six large volumes. Fang Xun only flipped through them briefly and was sure that it was what he wanted.
In addition to recording a large amount of knowledge on astrology and numerology, it also explains clearly how to set up an altar to draw in star power. Combined with Fenglin Taoist's notes, it is guaranteed to teach you until you learn it.
However, after flipping through the book for a while, Fang Xun put it away and sighed.
"If I really want to achieve something in the art of Tianji, it will probably take several years. It seems I have to find a professional as soon as possible."
Fang Xun relied on the Taixu Eye to cheat. He was okay with Feng Shui, but forget about the other things. He was completely ignorant of some of the taboos and prohibitions in this field.
However, after reading Taoist Fenglin's collection of books, Fang Xun had a preliminary understanding of the magic he had just seen the other party use.
After breaking through the divine will, the warrior achieves unity between man and nature, and his spiritual will can interfere with reality, appearing otherworldly in the eyes of others.
They can then forcibly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and do things that seem extremely magical to ordinary people, such as attracting the power of stars and the energy of the earth's veins.
Just like Old Man Mo, who only learned the basics of Feng Shui in his spare time, he can do this with the help of some tools.
For example, if Fang Xun breaks through the divine will, he will be able to sense the connection with the Seven Killing Stars anytime and anywhere and borrow their power.
Otherwise, it would be like now, although he has the Seven Killings Star as his natal star, but except for the projection in the martial arts hall, the Seven Killings Star has no presence at all in normal times.
However, many sorcerers are not divine beings, so they can only use some magical instruments or altars made by powerful divine beings to "cast spells". Fenglin Taoist is such a case.
But not only is it not as powerful as a strong divine master doing it personally, but it also has many strict restrictions. If you are not an expert in this field, you can't even see the tricks clearly, let alone start operating it.
Fang Xun now relies on the Taixu Eye to cheat, and can only be regarded as a half-severely biased "divine magician".
In some aspects, such as fortune-telling and feng shui, his level is much better than that of the average quack priest. But if you want to perform a serious ritual, forget it.
Most of these professionals have been studying Taoist scriptures and Buddhist teachings since childhood, observing the rules and regulations, and practicing diligently for decades before they are qualified to go out into the world.
Just as Fang Xun was thinking about how to trick a professional into joining his team, the middle-aged Taoist priest, who had lost ten years of his life just because he looked at him for one more moment, was pacing hesitantly at the gate of the government office.
His face was still a little pale, but he was extremely nervous.
"It's going to happen. I just spied something fatal, and that person discovered it. I don't know which lord is visiting Qingyang Mansion, but no matter who it is, I can't afford to offend him."
At this time, Tie Xiao, who had finally returned with a group of Six Gates detectives, was stunned when he saw the Taoist priest.
"Master Yu, what are you doing?"
Taoist Master Yu saw Tie Xiao come to his senses immediately and asked quickly, "Master Tie, do you know who is inside?"
Tie Xiao was in a hurry to enter the government office, and he didn't stop walking. He just replied casually without turning his head, "It's Deputy Commander Fang from Jinling City!"
Taoist Yu's heart skipped a beat, and without caring about anything else, he quickly grabbed Tie Xiao and said, "Master Tie, why don't you take me with you? Just now, someone in the government office seemed to be using a ritual to absorb star power. Let the Taoist take a look, maybe he can see something."
Tie Xiao was stunned at this time. He also knew Taoist Yu. Although he was a loner, he was also a master and had some fame in Qingyang Prefecture.
The wealthy families in the city would often pay a large sum of money to invite Taoist Yu to their homes to perform rituals and check their feng shui.
After Tie Xiao looked at the other person carefully for a few more times, he took Yu Daoren in with him.
"Be careful, Master Fang is not so easy to fool!"
"Don't dare, don't dare"
After the group entered the government office, they saw that the lights were on, people were hurrying around, and it was as bright as day.
Tie Xiao also saw the detectives left behind at the Six Gates running around busily, so he quickly stopped one of them and asked him about the situation.
"What happened?"
When the constable saw that it was Tie Xiao, he immediately felt like he had found his backbone and spoke hurriedly.
"Oh, Master Tie, you finally came back. You don't know that not long ago, Governor Su... No, it was that thief Su Hao.
Su Hao wanted to go to the prison to silence Xu Tianlin and the other two, but was stopped by Lord Fang. He chased them all the way to the government office, but he didn't expect that Taoist Fenglin was in the same group with him. Now both of them have been shot dead by Lord Fang."
The more the constable spoke, the more uneasy he became, while Tie Xiao and Yu Daoren also looked extremely excited.
Less than an hour after Fang Xun destroyed Yushan Hall, he also killed the prefect.
"Oh my God, what on earth is going on in Qingyang City!"
After a long while, Tie Xiao finally came back to his senses. He suppressed his fear and asked the constable, "Where is Lord Fang now?"
"Uh, Lord Fang is searching Fenglin Taoist's residence and no one is allowed to enter."
"take me!"
Then, under the guidance of the constable, Tie Xiao and Yu Daoren quickly arrived at the villa. When Tie Xiao saw the messy island in the middle of the lake, he was shocked.
Taoist Yu immediately saw the intact altar in the center of the island, and he could not take his eyes off it.
He looked like a pervert who saw a beautiful woman stripping naked and lying in front of him.
"Master Yu, Master Yu?"
"Oh, oh, nothing."
Tie Xiao pushed him twice before Taoist Yu came back to his senses. He took a reluctant look at the altar before continuing to walk to a loft in the courtyard. "Master Fang, your subordinate Tie Xiao wants to see you!"
When they arrived at the door, the two did not enter. Tie Xiao called out solemnly, and soon a response came from the attic.
"come in."
After looking at each other, the two stepped over the threshold and soon saw Fang Xun in the study.
Seeing two figures coming in, Fang Xun took a closer look, but when he saw Taoist Yu, he suddenly felt something in his heart.
"It's the guy who was peeping at me just now!"
He just stared at Taoist Yu. Seeing this, Tie Xiao, who was standing beside him, also became alert and his hand unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the knife.
"Is there something wrong with Master Yu?"
Taoist Yu, who was being stared at by Fang Xun, felt uneasy and forced a smile and bowed.
"I am Yu Fengxiang, a humble person. I have met you."
"Are you a Taoist priest?"
Fang Xun interrupted him before he could finish. Yu Daoren's heart tightened and he replied nervously, "Uh, yes."
"Proficient in Tianji Fengshui?"
"I dare not be proficient in it, I just know a little bit, a little bit."
"Do you have a master?"
"Well, I just learned some wild Zen from my master, which is not presentable."
The two of them asked and answered each other like this. Tie Xiao, who was left aside, was also confused and didn't understand what Fang Xun meant.
After asking a few more questions, Fang Xun nodded with a smile. Seeing the other party's expression, Yu Dao Ren felt a creepy feeling in his heart for some reason.
At this time, Fang Xun turned to look at Tie Xiao and said, "Su Hao is dead, but you will be responsible for all matters of Qingyang Mansion. Go down and interrogate his confidants first, and we can talk about other matters later."
"Okay, my lord!"
After receiving the order, Tie Xiao immediately left the attic, leaving Taoist Yu alone to face Fang Xun in fear.
After Tie Xiao walked away, the smile on Fang Xun's face disappeared instantly. His first sentence scared the other party to death.
"What did you just see?"
puff-
Taoist Yu was so frightened that he fell to the ground. Although he had only guessed about what he saw before and was not sure, after hearing Fang Xun's question, he was able to confirm it directly.
Fang Xun is the Seven Killing Star Fate!
I seem to know too much.
"Sir, the Taoist priest just took a quick look and really didn't see anything!!!"
Fang Xun sighed as he looked at Taoist Yu, whose face was pale and who was desperately denying what he had said.
"I actually don't like killing people, but this involves my life and property. Tell me, besides the death of a person, what else can make me feel at ease?"
Taoist Yu was startled and immediately swore, "I am willing to serve Master Fang at his side. Master Fang wants me to go west. If I go east even one step, I will be struck by five thunderbolts!"
But Fang Xun remained expressionless. Yu Daoist was furious and finally followed his inner thoughts and said, "Please give me poison, sir!"
At this time, Fang Xun showed a hint of smile on his face and said, "Master, I don't like to force things. A forced melon may quench your thirst, but it is not sweet."
Taoist Yu quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Not reluctantly, not reluctantly at all. I admire Master Fang's heroic spirit and voluntarily join your army!"
After he finished speaking, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that his body was covered in cold sweat.
He knew that if he had answered slowly, he would have been dead in an instant.
Fang Xun nodded and said with a smile: "No need for poison, but since Taoist Yu is a wandering man, I guess his enlightenment method is not very advanced.
I happen to have a copy of the "Black Heavenly Book" here. As long as you practice it to the highest level, you will be almost certain to succeed. However, this technique is a little weird and requires a person to be trained!"
Yu Daoren felt bitter in his heart, regretting that he should not have looked at her for too long. Now he was at the mercy of others and would be controlled by them from now on.
But he still managed to maintain a smile on his face and said, "Thank you for your generous gift, sir."
Fang Xun knew that the other party still had some grudges in his heart, but blackmail was necessary, as his identity as the Seven Killing Stars could not be exposed in the slightest.
If he didn't need the assistance of a professional he could trust in drawing the star power, Taoist Yu would have been killed by him long ago.
"Master, why don't you take a look at this "Cyclic Secret Book" first? I'm very curious about the method used by Taoist Fenglin to attract star power."
Unexpectedly, Taoist Yu's eyes bulged out immediately and he shouted in shock, "The Secret Book of Zhou Tian?! Is this the true teaching of Zhou Tian Xing Palace, one of the two lives from more than 600 years ago?"
Fang Xun was stunned for a moment. He didn't know that the "Zhou Tian Secret Book" had such a great origin, but he was sure of it.
"I don't know about this, but Taoist Fenglin did use a white jade altar to easily draw in the star power!"
After hearing this, Taoist Yu immediately put aside all his unhappiness and eagerly grabbed a copy of "The Secret Book of Zhou Tian" and started flipping through it.
After flipping through the pages for a while, Fang Xun saw that his face was becoming more and more delighted. Finally, he danced with joy and said, "It is indeed the Zhoutian Star Palace that was destroyed more than 600 years ago!"
Seeing him like this, Fang Xun asked curiously, "Master, can you tell me more about this Zhoutian Star Palace? I have never heard of it."
Upon hearing this, Taoist Yu closed the book and began to tell a story.
"Zhoutianxing Palace was one of the thirty-six gates and two lives that were as famous as the Death Hall more than six hundred years ago. Unfortunately, it was destroyed one day, and the incense inheritance was completely cut off."
