Sha LiFei is full of complaints and quite angry.

He came to look for "Shitilavana" and finally got a clue, which was the old monks who built the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the ruined temple.

These old monks have been practicing hard all day long. They have long looked down upon life and death, and everything in this world seems to have made them lose all interest.

They live on a meager diet every day and only maintain the most basic survival.

How to die? When to die?

They don't care anymore.

But he would not commit suicide and violate the rules of the sect.

These old monks obviously know some of the secrets of "Shitilavana", but they can't get it out by any means without giving in.

Sha LiFei then thought of a trick.

He stayed with these old monks all day long.

Whatever the monks eat, Sha LiFei will eat whatever.

The monks meditated, and Sha LiFei followed suit.

But most of the time, he would fall asleep within a short time. But it was precisely because of this that he discovered something was fishy.

Every night when he meditates, he always falls asleep whenever he wants.

But those old monks were really meditating, always keeping themselves awake and never falling asleep.

They are afraid to sleep!

When Sha LiFei discovered this secret,

I also found out the reason that night...

In his sleep, he came to a scary place, absurd and strange, and was watched by many creepy things.

Fortunately, he woke up after dawn.

Only then did those old monks explain the reason.

"Shitilavana" does exist. The reason why Ancient Battlefield was so scary was not just because of the large number of people dying, but also because of the influence of "Shitilavana".

The monks also discovered this when they were building the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue. They were not afraid, but were happy.

Although "Shitilavana" is scary, it is also an opportunity.

Practicing here can increase blessings and longevity, eliminate disasters, and reincarnate smoothly after death. Practitioners can also get opportunities and achieve Tao and fruit.

Not only that, "Shitilavana" can also protect against enemies and thieves, and can also drive away some evil things born in the cemetery.

All in all, there are many benefits.

However, this method of practice is also extremely difficult, and not many people succeed.

The monks worked hard to find Lord of the Corpse Forest Method, and then stayed here, practicing day after day, year after year.

However, they failed.

How many years have passed and no one has succeeded.

One by one the monks died of old age, they were already in despair.

Some people choose to leave this place, but no matter where they go, they always dream of "Shitilavana" in the dead of night.

It seems like this nightmare has been bound to them.

Without exception, everyone came back here.

At least, there is a glimmer of hope.

Now, these old monks have no more extravagant hopes.

Their only thought is to practice "Lord of the Corpse Forest Method" all year round, so that they can be protected after death and reincarnate smoothly.

The reason why I didn't talk about this was firstly because I didn't want anyone to make the same mistake again, and secondly because I was afraid of inadvertently violating the taboo of "Shitilavana".

But in Sha LiFei's opinion, it was these old monks who had evil intentions and wanted to laugh at him.

It's true that he came to look for "Shitilavana", but he just wanted to find the entrance, be prepared, and use it to awaken Divine Ability.

I don't want to be thrown into it unprepared.

Lu San next to him also looked worried.

He could see more clearly that Sha LiFei's condition was getting worse and worse these days. His face was pale, his eyes were black, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Tormented by nightmares for several days, he had mental problems.

Wow!

At this moment, Falcon Li Dong fluttered its wings and landed.

Lu San took the bamboo tubes below and opened them one by one. After reading them, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yan XiaoGe is out of trouble. Shu King Residence's first batch of pursuers have all been eliminated. The whereabouts of the Ghost Cult have also been discovered. They will join us after they are dealt with."

"I'm afraid that Master Dao has caught a big fish. We must be prepared to join him as soon as possible. Yan XiaoGe also found a mechanism for you to help fill it and leave it to Master Dao for self-defense..."

Listening to the news from afar, Sha LiFei's mood improved a lot.

Especially Li Yan, Sha LiFei has been by his side from the beginning, watching him step by step until now, and seems to be able to solve any problem.

This also gave Sha LiFei a glimmer of hope.

"Let me see what it is?"

Sha LiFei took the copper tube, took it apart and looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "This is the alchemist's mechanism. It was mentioned in <Thunderbolt Fire Scripture>, and Netherworld Fire Musket relied on this thing."

"We have some remaining white copper and Mystic Iron. We can make them into needles and soak them in cinnabar and chicken blood, which will have the power to break evil spirits..."

Having said this, he was suddenly stunned for a moment.

It seems that focusing on these things can alleviate his irritability and make him less fearful.

"You're such a coward, I can't sleep anyway, I just have to work!"

Sha LiFei stood up directly, took the copper pipe and walked out.

The house they were looking for was originally built by a warrior, but it was later abandoned. Because they needed to make tea, the blacksmith furnace next to it was renovated.

When he came to the stove, Sha LiFei lit the stove silently, took out the stored metals from his luggage, and smelted them according to the method he got from Jinzhou Master Lu.

He concentrated on it, recalling what Master Lu said back then.

"To make iron needles, you need to first hammer the iron block into thin strips, draw it into a thread, and cut it into a blank. Then file the tip, hammer flatten and drill holes to form a needle shape..."

"The needle blank still needs to be stir-fried and carburized, steamed and then quenched to make it hard. Finally, it needs to be carefully polished..."

"The requirements for the iron needles used in magic weapons are stricter. The control of the fire will cause the material to be destroyed if it is too much, and it will not be able to be formed if it is less..."

This Master Lu is from Jinju Zezhou Prefecture.

The iron crafts there are famous all over the world, and there are many Daoist craftsmen here. Some people use iron tools to make statues of gods and Buddhas. They are majestic and exquisite in craftsmanship and have not rusted for hundreds of years.

Sha LiFei has benefited a lot from following it for a while.

Ding ding ding!

As the hammer struck, sparks flew everywhere.

He stopped suddenly and looked into the distance.

That is the direction where West Ridge Snow Mountain is located.

He is not a fool, and he vaguely feels that his marriage seems to have arrived.

This is something I've never thought of before.

I thought I would spend my whole life wandering around the world, but inexplicably following Li Yan, I started to come into contact with a wider world.

What do you want to do with your life?

Sha LiFei I never dared to hope for it before.

After all, he is old and has no qualifications. He has struggled and had delusions, but in the end, he is still like those people, full of nonsense, deceitful and never soft-hearted, and has become the so-called old man.

The happiest time is when I'm drinking and bragging, telling those newbies who are new to the world that I drank with and met that person.

When he was at his most arrogant, he was just talking and laughing with this comrade, cursing the emperor and gossiping about some influential person.

It's just a mess after all, and it will stay that way for the rest of its life.

If you are lonely and helpless when you are old, the worst thing you can do is drink a bottle of poison and just kick your legs.

But he shouldn't, fate opened another door for him.

This is a broader and more exciting world.

He is not young anymore and cannot compare with young geniuses like Li Yan and Lu San, but he is not willing to give in. Even if he tries his best, he still has to keep up to stir up the storm and become famous all over the world!

And Long Yan'er.

What kind of Gu saint is she? She's just a young girl. Why can't she pass on the Old Sha family lineage to her?

Also, Long Yan'er is also undergoing a tribulation now.

If one of them fails, the two will never see each other again in this life.

Why?!

"I'm a coward. If a man is killed or a bird is turned upside down, Laozi is going to do some hard work!"

Sha LiFei felt a surge of anger in his heart and felt that his whole body was hot. He simply took off his shirt, revealing all the knotted muscles in his body, and hit it hard with a hammer.

Ding!

"Damn it, Laozi wants to live!"

Ding!

"Come on, Laozi is not afraid of anything!"

Ding!

"Laozi beat you to death!"

The fire was blazing, and the hammer struck one blow after another.

Angry and courageous, Sha LiFei seemed to have forgotten all his fears.

Gradually, he entered a strange state.

Sparks flew everywhere and became slow in his eyes.

It seems that the texture of the red ironware can also be felt.

Lu San didn't say anything, and just stayed by the side, listening to Sha LiFei's yelling and scolding, and the clanking of hammers, until dawn.

After all, we are ordinary people, and this kind of excitement will consume a lot of physical energy.

When the first ray of morning light comes from the horizon.

Sha LiFei raised his head blankly, then fell to the ground with a plop. Just between breaths, he snored and slept very peacefully.

Lu San finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing it.

These days, Sha LiFei slept so peacefully for the first time.

"Go away and beat you to death!"

In his sleep, Sha LiFei suddenly cursed, then sighed, continued to turn over, and fell asleep.

"This bastard..."

Lu San also had a long-lost smile on his face.

Although he was not dreaming, he could vaguely see that the first step of "Shitilavana" was to overcome his own fear.

The same was true for the ceremony he arranged.

The chance of success is increased by a few percent.

As the sun rose and set, Sha LiFei slept well into the night. After waking up, he was full of energy and continued working with the hammer.

After dawn the next day, Falcon Li Dong flapped its wings and flew again. With the protective weapons tied to its feet, it passed through the clouds and headed north...

Nanchong is located in the Northeast part of the Sichuan-Sichuan Basin.

During the Xia Dynasty, it was the country of "You Guo Shi", and during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, it belonged to Liang Province.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the name Nanchong began to exist.

Now it is under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Provincial Administration Commissioner, with Shunqing Prefecture in the territory, and under the jurisdiction of Nanchong, Xichong County and Peng Prefecture, Yingshan, Yilong County, Baoning Prefecture govern one state and six counties including Langzhong, Nanbu.

Nanchong people usually start their morning with a bowl of powder.

Pour the pure white rice noodles in boiling water, pour them with sesame seeds, a spoonful of red oil, a spoonful of coriander, some minced green onion, and add a piece of dried oil, and you have a prosperous new day.

In the east of Anping Town, there is a low table and three benches.

Wang Dao Xuan took one, drank a sip of rice noodles, and gnawed a sip of pot helmet. He felt that the taste was not enough, so he poured some Baoning Prefecture vinegar on it, and he was sweating profusely after eating.

Next to him, Wu Ba was too big to fit on the small bench, so he simply sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a large pottery basin and sucking it into his mouth.

The old man squatting at the door and smoking a cigarette was dumbfounded and said, "Oh, this kid has a great appetite. Old lady, please go make some more pots!"

Opposite Wang Dao Xuan, there is also a man sitting.

He was born with five big and three thick, Black Rong Robe, bamboo talisman leather armor, crossbow and spear aside, and a few Heavenly Official Blessing Charm Coin on the chest leather armor, a typical Demon Hunter dress.

This man also had a bowl of rice noodles in front of his table.

It was full of color, flavor and flavor, but he had no intention of tasting it. He looked at the Wu Ba eating fiercely across from him, then looked at Wang Dao Xuan, with a hint of pleading in his voice, "Master Tao, please do me a favor and help us with this matter."

Wang Dao Xuan ignored it. After finishing the rice noodles and drinking the soup, Xilihulu licked his lips and said, "Tell me, how can I help Pindao?"

"As I said, there is something wrong with that village. We need to think about it in the long term. It would be better for you to take the reward money and go do things behind Pindao's back."

"Nowadays, people are trapped in it, but poor Daoists don't have this ability."

"Master Tao is joking."

The man continued to laugh and said, "You are a 'Youji'. Now on this Nanchong, whoever mentions you must not give a thumbs up."

"Hi, that's all."

Wang Dao Xuan pretended to be difficult, "Pindao can give it a try, but whether they can be saved or not depends on their fate, so don't complain."

The man quickly handed over his hand and said, "Master Tao is willing to take action, it is a kindness. If they really can't be saved, their fate will be like this."

Wang Dao Xuan nodded and was about to get up when he suddenly spotted a falcon flying in the distance and said, "You wait here for now. I'll come as soon as I go."

After that, he strode into the second floor of the stilt house where the villagers rented, opened the window, and let the falcon fly in.

When the man below saw it, he suddenly became thoughtful.

The name "Youji" first came from Chongqing Prefecture.

Because Li Yan's reputation was too loud before, and it overshadowed others, so Wang Dao Xuan came to Nanchong and dressed up to look like Yin Yang Master, and no one connected him with Li Yan.

Today's Wang Dao Xuan and Dao Progress Third Floor have reached the pinnacle that mortals can reach. Coupled with Feng Shui's ability to ward off disasters and their ability to set up altars and cast spells, they quickly gained fame.

Once when someone provoked him, Wu Ba took action directly. If Wang Dao Xuan hadn't stopped him in time, he would have almost torn Nanchong into pieces.

Wang Dao Xuan didn't want to reveal his real name, so he gave Wu Ba the title "Chou Niu".

The ugliness is the nexus, and the yang energy is at the top but not down.

Oxen is usually honest and capable, but when it gets angry, it can't be stopped, which is very consistent with Wu Ba's temperament.

Nanchong On the Xuanmen Road, many people speculate that there are twelve in total like "Youji" and "Chou Niu".

Since then, the legend of "Twelve Yuan Chen" has also begun to appear.

Falcon Li Dong flew into the second floor of the inn. Demon Hunter man naturally saw it and became more certain about this guess.

He turned to look at Wu Ba who was eating and drinking, and he couldn't help but be curious. "Youji" and "Chou Niu" were so powerful, who could the rest be?

Of course, he would not violate taboos and ask random questions.

And I don't have any such intention.

Nanchong Zombies have appeared frequently here in recent years.

They were working with Wang Dao Xuan, but because of greed, they took the job that Wang Dao Xuan refused to participate in, and something happened.

Right now, rescuing people is extremely urgent.

In the room on the second floor, Wang Dao Xuan took the secret letter, checked it, and then frowned, thinking: Jiang God Great Lord has been reincarnated, is it related to those Dragon Worship Sect...

If that's the case, then we can't fight against each other easily.

It is still mainly about collecting intelligence from the side.

Having some concerns in mind, Wang Dao Xuan immediately wrote down his situation with a splash of ink, and then put the copper pipe in his arms.

After releasing the falcon, he calmly went downstairs.

"Let's go."

"Thank you, Master Dao. I will take you to that village right now."

"Who said we were going to the village?"

Wang Dao Xuan glanced lightly, "You are also stupid, you are being taken advantage of and don't realize it."

"Let's go directly to the real owner!"
