After a moment of coming back to his senses, Yang Qing looked around the platform.

This is a circular platform similar to an altar, with a diameter of about thirty meters and surrounded by high walls.

The wall is four or five meters high and you can't see clearly what's happening outside the wall.

Within the high walls, twelve animal sculptures of different shapes are evenly distributed on the outermost edge. The ground of the platform looks like a star map, with all kinds of runes and star lines.

Yang Qing took a quick look and found that the twelve statues were rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog and pig.

It just corresponds to the twelve Earthly Branches that I am familiar with in my memory.

When Yang Qing wanted to study the platform carefully, he saw a faint light coming from a corner of the platform.

Yang Qing then walked towards the light curiously.

On the ground, I saw a constellation-like pattern consisting of four stars, and the bright spot was one of them.

"This, this is Jisusi!"

Yang Qing blurted out immediately.

The star looked familiar to him, and combined with the surrounding star patterns, Yang Qing recognized the name of the star at a glance.

Out of curiosity in his previous life, Yang Qing had memorized the star map of an ancient flower grower.

And through this discovery, the patterns on the ground instantly became familiar.

But before Yang Qing could continue his research, he suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and then he entered a wonderful state of meditation.

Perhaps it was just a moment, or perhaps it was more than ten years, but Yang Qing personally experienced the life of another person.

During this process, Yang Qing felt like he had transformed into a little Taoist priest in an unknown mountain, meditating and practicing martial arts all day long.

When he was eighteen years old, corrupt officials were in power in the court, corruption was rampant, and factions were fighting against each other, leading to chaos in the country.

The people who could not survive rose up in rebellion, and uprisings and suppressions continued, which in turn caused plagues to spread and evil spirits to emerge one after another.

The abbot of the Taoist temple where the young Taoist priest lived, adhering to the Taoist concept of saving the people, sent his disciples down the mountain to slay demons and save the people, in order to earn merits for their practice.

The little Taoist priest possessed by Yang Qing was also among the disciples sent down the mountain.

At first it was okay, because the ones he encountered were just some weak little ghosts. Even though the little Taoist priest's own abilities were limited, he still managed to solve them one by one.

He also won a good reputation among the villagers he rescued, and the name of little god spread like wildfire.

Unfortunately, three months later, the young Taoist priest unfortunately encountered a powerful demon while on a demon-killing mission, whose strength far exceeded that of the young Taoist priest.

Even though the young Taoist tried his best and even used the life-saving talisman given by his master, he was ultimately no match for the evil spirit's attack. A claw pierced his throat, causing him to die.

Yang Qing's state of meditation came out at the moment the young Taoist priest died.

He even skipped the altar space and returned directly to reality.

"Hoo~! Hoo~! Hoo~!"

Yang Qingren was breathing heavily, his eyes were even more dizzy, everything he had just experienced in the state of meditation seemed as if he had experienced it personally.

Especially the last fatal claw of the evil spirit, it felt like it was digging through its own throat, even the pain was no exception.

Of course, although this dream is terrifying, it is not without benefits.

Just like at this moment, Yang Qing was pleasantly surprised to find that his cultivation level had improved significantly as soon as he circulated the true energy in his body.

It seemed that while following the young Taoist priest in his practice, Yang Qing himself was also participating in the practice.

If Yang Qing's previous cultivation period was only less than a year, then now he has at least reached more than five years of cultivation.

Yang Qing even inherited some of the martial arts practiced by the little Taoist priest, especially a footwork called Seven Star Steps, which Yang Qing remembered particularly well.

The Seven Star Steps were originally the steps taken by Taoist priests during sacrifices.

It seems slow, but it is actually fast!

According to the meaning of the Seven Stars Walk, although it looks like you are walking straight, you are actually sliding to the side. It is a step that is suitable for moving around in a small space.

Yang Qing was secretly delighted. With this step, he had an extra trump card to save his life when fighting against evil spirits.

I took a look at the multi-treasure bracelet on my left hand. It seemed that this thing was a very valuable treasure.

According to Yang Qing's guess at the moment, the twelve beads of different colors on the bracelet should represent the twelve Earthly Branches seen on the altar.

And these twelve Earthly Branches happen to be the symbols used by the ancients to record time.

Yang Qing guessed that the beads in his hand seemed to possess some kind of power of time.

It can bring out the memories in the Orb of Evil and travel back in time in Yang Qing's mind, allowing him to experience it again for himself.

Thinking of this, Yang Qing couldn't help but laugh.

If this is true, then every evil spirit is transformed from a human soul.

If this is true, then this world is clearly too absurd.

However, no matter what the relationship between evil spirits and human souls is, at least Yang Qing can be sure that as long as he can kill the evil spirits and obtain more evil beads, he will become stronger.

And on the altar, the star named Jishusi seems to have another mystery.

It’s a pity that Yang Qing no longer has any extra evil beads in his hand, so no matter how many guesses he makes, they cannot be confirmed.

After sorting out his emotions, Yang Qing continued his patrol.

However, what Yang Qing did not notice was that above his head, among the stars that had originally been dim due to Tianyuan's existence, one of them actually became slightly brighter.

The patrol time is always slow. After patrolling about two streets, a sharp whistle that broke through the air suddenly sounded.

Yang Qing looked in the direction of the sound and saw a red firework rising slowly not far away, drawing a bright light in the sky.

Message fireworks!

This was a warning signal sent by other night watchmen, and also a call for nearby night watchmen to come and help.

At this moment, an evil spirit has appeared where the fireworks are rising into the sky!

After just a moment of thought, Yang Qing rushed in that direction.

The explosion point of the fireworks was not far from where he was now. Although that area was not within his patrol range, Yang Qing knew that the first Evil Trace Pearl was given to him by Xing Hu. What about the second one?

It's impossible to ask Xing Hu for it again.

I have the courage but not the face to do it!

Since I want to become stronger, I will have to fight these evil spirits in the future.

When he thought of Xing Hu's tone of encouragement when he had said that, if he went up first this time, he probably wouldn't just stand by and watch like he did last time.

After all, it should be enough to examine the strength of subordinates once.

Having such a powerful Night's Watchman to support him would definitely be much safer than fighting alone. He could take this opportunity to test his newly improved strength.

Isn't it just trying to live with the intention of dying? I want to try it too.

Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in Yang Qing's eyes.
