MTL - In the Great World of Martial Arts, You Use the Tao of Talisman To Rule the Ages?-Chapter 157 Undercurrent
Chapter 157 Undercurrent
“People in the market have basically been to the black market. Who has been to the black market and who has not been to it. It is meaningless to distinguish...
So, the Zhou family must have some supporting means that can determine the specific identity of each person, and can even match the things these people have sold in the black market one by one! "
Chen Lin frowned and his heart sank.
The Zhou family's actions cannot be a good thing no matter how you look at it.
Especially someone like him who sells high-value items in the black market.
Although he actually didn't get a single spiritual stone, he actually gained a lot.
“Now that the Zhou family has sealed off the entire city, this round of searches can be avoided for a while, but not forever, and avoiding will only attract more attention..."
At this time, Toad Voice had already opened a new cave with Qing Yi behind him.
There is a demon cultivator living there.
Just now, Chen Lin saw with his own eyes how the other party used human bone instruments to practice magic.
“This Toad Voice is at the eighth level of Qi Refining. He may have taken Zhuyan Dan. He looks less than thirty, but is actually at least forty years old. The rest are at the sixth level of Qi Refining…”
"who are you?"
“Fellow Taoist Chen Lin, let’s meet next week. In response to the wishes of True Monarch Treading the Sea, our Zhou family needs to conduct a simple interrogation of the monks in Fang City to make sure as soon as possible that the person who stole the treasure will not implicate us..."
The Qing Yi holding the Insect Control Technique secretly dispersed his magic power and nodded to the person in charge of the roster.
A layer of invisible spiritual consciousness has silently flowed out from the cave, firmly covering the flying insects in the bag, isolating them from the outside world and cutting off all perception.
However, the interior of the insect bag was unusually calm.
A young figure slowly opened the door. He had a handsome face and was dressed simply in gray robes. He seemed to be an ascetic.
Everyone came back and knocked on the door again.
“I guess I asked a friend to sell the stolen goods. Next, let’s go to the house where we didn’t answer the door just now, District C 138, Chen Lin…”
Toad Voice was very patient, and while pulling out the tiger skin of Zhenjun Treading the Sea, he inadvertently took a few steps closer.
Qing Yi in the back was staring closely at the insect bag hanging behind him, and someone else had prepared the insect control trick, ready to calm the flying insects at any time.
“Captain Zhou, the shadow-sniffing bug actually didn’t respond to this demonic cultivator. He seems to have never been to the black market.” One person opened the roster and wrote the word ‘suspicious’ on the record.
Just as the demon cultivator opened the door, Chen Lin's consciousness directly covered the insect bag behind Toad's throat...
In an instant.
…
Toad Voice left the Demon Cultivation Cave with a kind expression, looked back at the people behind him, and casually placed a magic restriction:
“How was the result just now?”
What no one noticed was that as early as they knocked on the door.
“Thank you for your cooperation with this Taoist friend. I wish you success in your practice, good luck, and build the foundation of Taoism as soon as possible.”
If Zhou He had spiritual consciousness, he would probably be able to recognize it immediately. This is exactly the method of using divine consciousness in the "Golden God Refining Knowledge".
There is no abnormal reaction.
Although it is just a simple method, it is enough to fool the Qi refiners in front of you.
"The Zhou family is quite arrogant. These Qingyi people are friendly on the surface, but in reality no one is easy to deal with, especially this Zhou He, who is a good foundation-building seed."
Chen Lin was muttering in his heart, but his face, like the others, kept complaining about the interrogation.
Zhou He has seen a lot, so he asked him to write down his origin and bring it back to him for business.
Chen Lin just took over the roster and was about to make up his origin at will.
His consciousness suddenly glanced behind Zhou He. There was another person holding another roster, with a few lines of small words written above it:
“Chen Lin, unknown age, suspected to be one of the abandoned apprentices of Master Xuanfu of Laoshanfang, entered Taoism half a year ago…”
As early as in Laoshanfang, the Zhou family had been secretly paying attention to him? !
Chen Lin was shocked.
The movement of holding the pen in his hand did not stop, and he casually wrote "talisman master's apprentice" on his birth name.
It’s not completely explained, but it doesn’t contradict the information the Zhou family has.
The fact that he was once the master's apprentice is not some shady information. The Zhou family only knows about it. And this makes him appear to be innocent.
Zhou He was very satisfied with his cooperation. He politely said a few auspicious words and quickly turned around and left.
Mana is restricted.
A man in Qingyi took over the roster filled in by Chen Lin:
“This person is quite honest, and the origin he told us is very different from what we know, and the shadow-smelling bug didn’t react to him just now…”
Toad's throat Zhou He took the information and chuckled:
“It turns out that he is a newcomer who just joined the Taoist religion half a year ago.”
“I heard that Master Xuanfu accepted several apprentices, but only took two to Zhuyue City. Since this person was left behind, I’m afraid his cultivation qualifications are not very good.”
“If he had really been to the black market, he would have died long ago at the hands of Jie Xiu.”
“The captain is wise!”
“Let’s go, I have been assigned by my family to be in charge of this area. There are still many people to check, so we can’t waste time here…”
Zhouhe removes the mana restriction.
He had only taken two steps when he suddenly felt the bug bag tied behind him loosen for no apparent reason.
Swarms of black shadow-sniffing bugs flew out quickly, at a very slow speed, and scattered in the blink of an eye, about to disappear in the eyes of everyone.
“Don’t run!” A monk in blue hurriedly used the insect control technique to guide the escaping insects back into the bag.
The Qing Yis all breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
If these bugs are allowed to escape, they will never get the good fruit to eat!
…
In a quiet room.
Chen Lin carefully observed the glass elixir bottle in front of him.
There are seven restless black flying insects in the bottle. They are small in size, slender in body, and dark black in color. Their surface is covered with imperceptible scales and shines with a faint luster.
There is a pair of sharp antennae on the head, which are constantly trembling, as if capturing all kinds of undetectable smells in the air.
He had just quietly picked up these with his spiritual consciousness. There were quite a few bugs in the bug bag. Even if a few were missing, Zhou He and the others couldn't find them.
“Buzz buzz—”
Whenever he comes within three feet of the glass vase, these insects will move up and down, obviously they have memorized his breath.
If he hadn’t been covered with spiritual consciousness just now, he would definitely have been marked down.
Chen Lin retracted his gaze from the bugs and hid them temporarily until he could deal with them later.
Then take inventory of all your belongings again:
“The Zhou family has taken some action now. So many monks are like a group of trapped animals. We don’t know what will happen next...
Han Zhengcai’s mutual protection alliance is also unreliable. The ingredients in it are too complicated, and even there are three magic cultivators. "
His spiritual consciousness continued to investigate. After Zhou He and others left, the monks who had been interrogated around him were like frightened birds, and they were all taking stock of their belongings.
They don’t know anything about shadow-sniffing insects, and they don’t know that they have been identified, but they know enough about the Zhou family.
The spiritual consciousness took in the activities of the monks in a radius of twenty feet.
Chen Lin focused on Han Zhengcai next door, but he was too cautious and dived back into the forbidden talisman as soon as he returned to the cave.
The second is the demon cultivator who just used human bone magic tools to practice magic:
"This man has been to the black market, but he was covered up by my consciousness just now. If there is another interrogation later, his breath will definitely be detected by insects, and the secret will be exposed and implicated in me."
“It’s best to find an opportunity to get rid of this person.”
Had it not been for the experiment done on this demonic cultivator to confirm that his spiritual consciousness could cover the detection of those insects, he would never have shown up just now.
The only one you can really rely on now is yourself.
Chen Lin looked at himself, and a ray of spiritual thought quickly fell on Yuan Hai...
