Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises.

Chapter 27: Strange Dharma Assembly

This time, Qin Jiang did not bring Black Water with him, as that would have made the feature too obvious.

However, to be on the safe side, he still brought a few smoke bombs and fire mines.

Walking in the night, his figure was always hidden in the shadows of the houses.

After a while, he came to a corner of Li's mansion and took out a map from his arms.

This was something he had bought some time ago from a person who delivered food to the Li residence while hiding his identity.

After determining his location by checking the map, he exerted force on his feet. The moment his palm touched the top of the wall, he burst out with strength, and his body slid directly over the top of the wall and fell into Li's Mansion. The whole process took no more than two seconds.

Landing on the ground, he squatted down. This was the back of a warehouse, overgrown with weeds.

The place he wanted to go was the courtyard that Li Songzheng had prepared specifically for worshipping the Goddess of Huangtian. It was located inside the Li Mansion and was located through several other courtyards.

Circulate your internal energy, control your body's level of activity, lower your own energy sensation, and then stick your head out from the edge of the house.

What he saw was a small courtyard overgrown with weeds. The gate was closed and there were many firewood and haystacks piled up. The house next to him also looked very old, and the eaves were covered with spider webs.

He relaxed slightly and walked to the gate of the courtyard. A gust of cold wind blew into the courtyard through the gap in the door.

Looking out through the gap in the wooden door, I saw an iron rod across the door, which was obviously locked.

Looking outside from close to the gap, three servants were patrolling with torches and long swords on their waists.

Obviously, these people all have some martial arts skills.

After waiting for a while, the patrol team came towards this side, and Qin Jiang retreated and hid behind a haystack.

click!
The sound of the door lock clicking was very crisp in the night. The three of them walked into the yard, without closing the door, and went straight to the front of the house and sat down.

They each took out their cigarettes, lit them up, and started chatting.

"Hey, have you been to that courtyard to take a look? I don't know what kind of evil has befallen the master. No matter how much we pray, there is no change."

One of them just finished complaining when another covered his mouth, "Have you drunk?! If the master hears this, I'll break your legs!"

"Mmm~" The servant with his mouth covered nodded repeatedly.

"~Suck~ I just said it casually. Besides, we are the only ones here at night, the master can't know."

"Okay, Old Liu, stop talking nonsense." The leading servant waved his hand and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"You probably don't know, but I saw it with my own eyes," he said.

"Oh my Brother Li, please don't say half of your words?" Old Liu asked hurriedly.

Brother Li cleared his throat, took a big step forward, put his elbows on his knees, and leaned forward slightly. "I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense! Do you remember Old Wang?"

"Old Wang? Didn't he break his leg a few days ago and be sent back to the countryside?" asked Old Liu.

Brother Li raised his chin and laughed with a bit of arrogance, "Hey, you don't know? That day I followed the young master to that yard, guess what I saw?

There was Lao Wang's head! The magician poured the divine liquid bestowed by the goddess onto his legs!
Hey! Crispy and crispy! It was cured on the spot! But our master is kind-hearted, and since Old Wang is old, he gave him some money to go back to his hometown in the countryside. "

"Is it so amazing? The broken leg was healed right away?" Old Liu was a little skeptical. Broken arms and legs are very difficult to treat! Not to mention being healed right away.

"Not only that! The young master also said that the magic liquid can not only cure diseases, but also make you stronger in that aspect!" Brother Li chuckled.

Behind the haystack, Qin Jiang's eyes lit up slightly. Divine liquid?

It sounds like a good thing, but he doesn't believe that it will have no side effects.

The more you gain, the more you lose. The more beautiful something looks, the more cautious you should be.

He glanced at the three of them secretly, while observing the outside of the courtyard.

While the three men were knocking off the ashes from their cigarettes, he suddenly exerted force on his feet and rushed out.

After rushing out, he went straight into the shadow of the house and headed towards the courtyard where the Goddess Huang Tian was worshipped.

On the way, they avoided several groups of night patrol servants and finally arrived at their destination.

The gate was wide open and a bright fire was burning in the yard.

Climbing up to the shadow of a house, Qin Jiang's eyes fell on the courtyard. There were at least a dozen torches on the courtyard wall, which illuminated the courtyard very brightly. A tall three-legged, two-eared round tripod was located in the center of the courtyard. The tripod was made of brass and engraved with a picture of a flying goddess. Inside were three huge incense sticks as thick as arms. Smoke wafted from the top, and the faint sandalwood fragrance was very penetrating, and it could be smelled even from dozens of meters away.

Seeing that there was no one in the yard, Qin Jiang quietly went around to the back of the yard and climbed directly in.

He landed gently on the ground and looked towards the house. Only the room facing the bronze tripod was lit, while the rooms on the left and right were dark.

He did not forget the purpose of coming here tonight. He poked holes in the windows one by one from the back of the house to look inside.

Sure enough, one of the rooms was piled with many sacrificial utensils.

I gently pushed the window open and climbed in, took off my gloves and put my hand on one of the bronze jars, but there was nothing.

Next one, no, no, no.
After touching it for more than ten times, I finally felt the familiar cool touch and a familiar prompt appeared in front of me.

[Potential points absorbed. 0.10.10.1]

After a few breaths, the cold air flow disappeared, and he looked at the bottom of the panel. [Potential Points: 7.6]

Controlling the joy in his heart a little, he touched all the remaining utensils, even the fake paintings that decorated the walls of the house.

[Potential Points: 9.4]

Looking at the potential points approaching the ten-point mark, he couldn't help but show joy on his face. This many potential points were enough for him to upgrade the Iron Arm Fist directly to the third level!
However, he was not in a hurry to add points, because he had not encountered any irresistible crisis for the time being, and adding potential points would only take a moment.

After checking the room again to make sure nothing was missed, he climbed out of the house and gently closed the window.

I came to the lighted room in the middle and found a window at the edge and made a small opening.

Looking inside, a quaint and somewhat desolate little temple comes into view.

He was on the left side of the small hall and could only see a few load-bearing pillars and half beams with yellow cloth strips hanging on them.

The rest is blocked from view by a huge statue.

The statue had its back to him and was carved from stone, so no face could be seen.

There were torches placed on several load-bearing columns, but they were not lit, and it was obvious that the light source was some other source.

He turned his eyes away, unable to see what was happening inside the hall, and could only hear faint chanting.

I carefully opened the window and a strange fragrance hit me.

He quickly held his breath, and then felt that the fragrance was somewhat familiar.

Is this the smell of burning locust wood?

Call ~
The night wind blew slightly, his eyes moved slightly, and he controlled his body not to make any sound, and slowly climbed into the house.

He closed the window gently, and the strange aroma became stronger. He was sure that this was the smell of burning locust wood.

When I went to Dahei Mountain before, I cut some locust trees as firewood.

He walked to the edge of the statue and listened carefully to what was happening inside the house.

But strangely, the chanting did not seem to be affected by the distance and was still so faint that it was almost inaudible.

After a moment, he suddenly reacted, his pupils shrank slightly, he didn't hear any breathing sound!
Startled, he quietly stuck his head out and saw a huge oil lamp hanging in the air, illuminating the room.

Below the oil lamp, there were two rows of people sitting cross-legged in yellow robes. They were the ones who had scattered yellow paper on the street that day.

Is this a religious ceremony?
These people were holding a rosary in their hands, with blood-red lines painted on their faces, their eyes closed, their heads lowered, and their expressions like the most devout believers.

In front of them was a bronze statue of a woman less than two feet tall, which was the bronze statue of the Goddess of Yellow Sky from that day.

The wizard wearing a Bagua robe knelt in front of the bronze statue of Huang Tian Shenmu, holding a blood-stained dagger in his hand.

In front of him, there was an old man with gray hair and beard lying horizontally, his upper body naked, and his left leg looked a little twisted.

Her stomach was cut open, blood and organs were all over the floor, and a blood-red lotus was cut out on the skin of her chest with a knife, which looked beautiful and seductive.

It seemed that he had died long ago, but his cloudy eyes were fixed on the bronze statue of Huang Tian Shen Mu, with a pious and joyful expression.
