Chapter 301: The Totem Guest Arrives

Zhou You circled around the city a few times to make sure there was no one following him.

Even so, he was still worried, so he gritted his teeth and activated the panel, retrieving the projection of this body and projecting it back to his home in the inner city.

In this way, the last trace of the vest was erased.

Afterwards, when someone followed the clues and took a photo, they could only see a flat ground with no trace, as if the whole person had evaporated.

"Brother Zhou, just now there were several households in the inner city where demons were causing chaos, but they were suppressed."

"It was quite a distance from home, so the two elders were not frightened."

Zuo Twelve knocked on the door to report the situation. He had just gone out to check and found that most of the evil spirits had been suppressed.

It is impossible to catch all those scattered fish that have slipped through the net for the time being, after all, the professional city gate guards are not here.

Zhou You nodded and said, "There is enough food stored at home, so don't go out for the next few days."

The chaos caused by evil spirits is only on the surface; signs of deeper turmoil have begun to emerge.

The Qi family has lost their family treasure, so they are bound to make a big fuss, and the Xu family will not be quiet either.

Once the two great families made a move, the martial arts schools and guilds in the city would also follow suit, causing a sensation throughout the city.

Zhou You was worried about his parents' safety and thought that his father should take a leave and stay at home instead of going to work at the company.

As a result, the business was temporarily closed. The two major families above closed the city gates and no one was allowed to enter or leave, saying that they were investigating something. Business could not be done.

This shows that he is not giving up and is still thinking about getting Baile Tianluo back.

This treasure is now lying in Zhou You's "arsenal", slowly repairing itself.

"Arsenal: 1. Void Mask (Vest 2); 2. Formless Bronze Puppet (Under calculation); 3. Hundred-Le Heavenly Net (Under repair)."

Zhou You took out his senior brother's talisman book and looked through it. He combined it with the memory fragments he discovered from Kunpengzi's mind and began to digest its contents.

The things on this talisman book are very interesting.

Master Zeng once mentioned that the spread of ancient knowledge was actually a combination of pictures and text, and that text also evolved from pictures.

After all, sometimes a graphic can convey much richer information than text alone.

But the advantage of text lies in its modular combination, convenience and speed, which eventually eliminated the information dissemination method of using pictures to explain meanings.

Although the mode is eliminated, it does not mean that the graphics are eliminated.

To this day, pictures and texts are still an efficient way to carry culture and are widely used in various occasions.

Pictures are pictures, and text is text. The two are clearly distinguished and cannot be confused.

But the talisman book in Zhou You's hand clearly has a mixture of pictures and texts, and it has some shadows of the outline of the ancient totem mentioned by Master Zeng.

"Kunpengzi didn't teach his disciples the real stuff!"

Zhou You guessed that Kunpengzi had kept a trick up his sleeve for his disciple and had not taught him the real seal script.

It’s normal to think about it. How can there be any real feelings when a chess piece has a time bomb buried in its body?

But the more I read this book of talismans, the more interesting it becomes.

"Seal script lv10→lv11, experience value +10000."

"Seal Script lv11→1v12, Experience Points +11000
By reading the contents of the talisman book, the level of the seal script will slowly increase like water, bringing in a large amount of experience points.

Then there was a ding sound, and a new item appeared, "Totem Iv0."

"Totem lv1→lv2, experience value +1000"

"Totem level 2 → level 3, experience value +2000."

"Totem level 3 → level 4, experience value +3000."

The panel decomposes the contents of the talisman book. It turns out that the ghostly talismans inside are a fusion of seal characters and a carrier called "totem".

Totems, aren't they a carrier that existed in ancient times? Although there are still murals and antiques with totem-like marks, they are all decorative patterns and have no power.

Unexpectedly, Kunpengzi learned a lot of things. In addition to seal script, he also mastered totems.

Zhou You was only slightly interested in totems and had no intention of conducting in-depth research.

As a totem eliminated by history, its future is far less bright than that of seal script. However, it can perhaps be used as an auxiliary tool in the study of the Nine Cauldrons seal script.

Besides this...
Zhou You suddenly had an idea. What does the power of totems involved in the Golden Immortal Dao represent?
It should be noted that the extinction of totems reveals the disappearance of a certain ethnic group in history.

This ethnic group is called Wu.

In terms of pronunciation, there is really not much difference between "wu" and "wu", and even their power systems are extremely similar.

However, warriors emerged as a new force and became the supreme power that dominated the world, while the witch clan disappeared in the long river of history.

Could it be that Kunpeng found the remnants of the Wu clan?

The question is, does Kunpengzi represent the Golden Immortal Dao or himself, and what is his relationship with the remnants of the Wu clan?

Brother Ling was ordered to come to Gongliang City. What was the purpose of using Miss Qi Wu as a chess piece? Is she related to the Witch Clan?
He calculated countless possibilities in a flash, and he needed more information to support these speculations.

The witch tribe and totems are ancient secret history, and only Master Zeng, who is good at academic research, may know something about them.

Zhou You immediately visited Zeng's house, and coincidentally, Master Zeng was at home.

"Wu Clan, why are you asking about this?"

Zhou You smiled awkwardly and said, "I was reading recently and found that the words wu and wu have a strong connection. I was interested so I studied it."

"Yes, that's right. The Wu Clan is a long time ago, and many things are fabricated and not the truth."

"I have collected some records here. Take them and have a look."

Master Zeng was very straightforward. He handed Zhou You a large stack of information and did not forget to remind him.

"The Wu clan totems are mysterious and ancient. Many noble families collect and study them privately, but this is definitely not the right way. Don't indulge in them and neglect the study of seal characters."

Zhou You bowed and agreed, "Master, don't worry, I will find out."

He took the information home and found a gorgeous carriage parked at the door. He recognized that it came from the Qi family.

Senior Brother Qi is here again?
Zhou You walked into the house and was about to greet his parents when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Zuo Shier and Tie Niu stood in the courtyard, and standing opposite them were several Qi family warriors.

In the reception hall, Father and Mother Zhou were very polite in entertaining the distinguished guests who came today.

The distinguished guest came from the Qi family, but it was not Qi Fengzhang, but Miss Qi Wu.

The fairy-like concubine of the Qi family had a gentle smile and was talking softly to Zhou You's parents, without showing any arrogance.

Old Man Zhou had never seen such a noble lady before. He was so nervous that his hands and feet were stiff and he didn't know where to put them.

Mother was even more restrained. She lowered her head to glance at the tip of Miss Qi Wu's shoe, then quickly dodged away.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back."

Zhou You stepped into the doorway holding a book and nodded to Miss Qi Wu, "Miss Qi Wu."

Miss Qi Wu stood up and bowed slightly, "Zhou You, may I have a word with you?"

As soon as the voice fell, Zhou You's parents nodded hurriedly, "Okay, you guys talk, You'er, the young lady has been waiting for you for a long time."

They left the living room without looking back, leaving Zhou You and Miss Qi Wu alone.

Outside the house, Zuo Twelve, Tie Niu, and Miss Qi Wu's guards were standing hundreds of meters away. They could only vaguely see the two people, but could not hear any sound of talking.

Zhou You thought that the other party came to him on his own initiative, most likely due to the influence of the Thousand Demons Rebellion.
