The room beca quiet.
The woman who was grinding ink stopped suddenly, her body stiffening. After a long silence, she said, "I do not know either."
"Prince, life and death are indeed impermanent. Moreover, it was just a dream, and its truth is yet unknown, why should you persist?"
Xiao Jinghong held the woman’s hand and earnestly said,
"No matter what, I must give it a try..."
In their room, a jade seal emitted a faint spiritual light, blocking any divine skills exploration...
...
The dishes in the Prince Mansion were not luxurious, but quite exquisite.
For instance, the stewed chicken was simred slowly for a long ti, its flavor delicious, with cilantro and pepper added for seasoning...
Another example was the stir-fried shredded at, although beef was used, it was marinated with starch and egg, making it extrely tender.
It was Li Yan’s first ti seeing such craftsmanship.
If the chef in the Prince Mansion possessed divine skills, he must be a culinary general.
The only downside was the small portions.
The few of them didn’t mind, but Wu Ba licked the plates clean, still only half full, and had to trouble soone to make so pastries.
Living comfortably and eating delicious food, the fatigue was swept away.
By now the night had fallen, the cold wind chilled the night, and the lanterns outside cast light on the snowy ground in utter silence.
Although various defense preparations had been set, they were long accustod to taking turns on night watch.
Li Yan was responsible for the first half of the night, firstly, he ditated for a while, then lit a candle and sat at the table, opening his bundle.
From the battle with the ghost theater troupe, the spoils were not many.
The most valuable was, of course, those few new-style firearms.
However, these belonged to the Captain Bureau, and Sha Lifei, upon dismantling them, found secret marks left inside.
Moreover, the Chengdu Prefecture’s Captain Bureau was not to be trusted.
Wanting to sell them required so manipulation.
Yet, there were other things that piqued his interest.
Firstly, it was the ghost theater troupe’s martial artist’s mask. The masks of Di Qing and Guan Sheng were understandable, referring to the thod of Nuo Mask.
In ancient tis, wizards communicated with ghosts and gods, often using this thod.
Acting was inherently entertainnt for gods, so naturally, there were similar magic thods, but the Pear Garden had more ordinary people, he did not know if there were any secret inheritances.
The key was the last one.
The "Hang Guest Star Lord" mask, rarely seen in the Pear Garden, seed to contain so "star worship" magic thods.
Star worship has existed since ancient tis.
Whether in the Mystical Sect or the side door of magic veins, it exists.
From the Yin and Zhou tis, there were rituals for welcoming the sun and worshiping the stars, and in many places, related folklore is still preserved.
For example, in Shan State, Jinzhou, Yu State, people call the sky "Old Heaven," and the sun "Sun Father" ...
For instance, in Ezhou, there was a saying "not facing east in the morning, nor west in the evening, nor south at noon," so temples perford "Sun Birth" or "Rites of Star Worship" ceremonies...
In the Shu region where many ethnic groups gather, the customs are innurable.
Summoning "funeral gate," "hang guest" is rare, but maybe so dark path is researching.
What really caught Li Yan’s attention was its ability to use "Evil Spirit"!
"Evil Spirit" is a variant of Innate Astra Bane Qi, extrely troubleso whenever encountered, whether it was the Eastern Monk outside Chang’an or the Water Tiger suppressed beneath Wushan Goddess Peak...
Yet these rare cases of using evil spirit in small amounts and controlling it were seen for the first ti.
Previously, when they suppressed the "Fog Guest," they managed to acquire a trace of "Evil Spirit" Qi, which was suppressed by Wang Daoxuan and later kept at Qingcheng Mountain to be worn away.
This magic thod was too easy to lose control over, and Li Yan was not tempted by it.
It was unknown whether the ghost theater troupe widely mastered this technique...
Upon carefully examining the mask in hand, Li Yan found this item was composed of two skins glued together, with an interlayer inside densely painted with bizarre runes.
Neither he nor Wang Daoxuan recognized them.
If he t a senior of the Mystical Sect, perhaps he could discover its origin.
The remaining magic artifacts were mostly damaged.
Inside the zombie controlled by the clown, was a strange compass, which Wang Daoxuan identified as a thod from the Xiangxi corpse driving lineage...
The scripture wheel left by the old dan actress ca from the Esoteric Sect.
As for the coffin nail, it was an item used for long-term suppression of the Drought Demon, similarly tainted by Evil Spirit Qi, filled with malicious will.
This thing was a good magic artifact for casting spells, although usable only once, its power was considerable, thus given to Wang Daoxuan for safekeeping.
Besides these, there were a few letters.
All found on the old woman.
Li Yan read them one by one, his expression becoming grave.
From the letters, it appeared the ghost theater troupe, after being eradicated at that ti, had been lying low, secretly accumulating strength.
Coming to Shu just this ti as a small team.
Their main force was already heading for Qianzhou.
Unlike Zhao Changsheng and the Dragon Worship Sect, they were more like a rcenary organization, aiming to capitalize on the transformation of the Human Dao and seize opportunities.
Still sticking to a style of resorting to any ans.
Moreover, with the tis, they beca more ruthless.
Li Yan had a premonition that this ghost theater troupe would inevitably beco a problem for them.
With this thought, Li Yan put the things away and took out the Fengdu Technique book, carefully studying it.
The path of cultivation is like climbing a mountain.
Each additional layer built increases the difficulty.
To quickly improve strength, there were only two ways.
One was martial arts, his daily practice was never overlooked, and his mastery of the Undying Seal Technique was becoming more profound, with a chance of reaching Dan Strength after the new year.
The other was spells.
The cultivation of the Fengdu Technique complented his inheritance.
He could summon Yin Generals from Luo Feng Mountain for empowernt, enhancing the "North Emperor’s Scripture" spells, but with nurous spells, he couldn’t be scatterbrained, needing to find a suitable path...
...
Before he knew it, it was the latter half of the night.
Li Yan lay down to sleep, Lü San took over the night watch duty.
Sha Lifei and Wu Ba, both possessing body divine powers, although with keen senses, were within the scope of ordinary people.
