I am a living immortal.

Su Mu changed to another table and tasted the delicious food. The Qianshan Muxue was excellent.

The waiter moved him to a seat closer to the railing, where he could see the alleys and waterways of Jiangnan very well. It was a great viewing platform.

Su Mu looked down at the bustling market. The ominous aura left a clear trail, which almost overlapped with the person he had met before. It seemed that person was the key.

…………

Wei Shen actually noticed something unusual, but he didn't take it seriously. The ups and downs in his life had made him less sensitive to the unusual, just like what happened when he bought the book before. Anyone who encountered such a thing would be terrified, but for him, it was just a passing cloud and could not cause any ripples in him at all.

He is in a daze and seems normal but is actually very abnormal.

This may be the state of a person who has encountered a major change.

At dusk, I said goodbye to my good friend and walked on the stone steps of the ferry. There were vendors on the other side of the house, and idle old people were chatting. An old cat with mottled fur was lazily crawling at the feet of an old man. When it saw Wei Dao, its fur suddenly stood up and it made a "chi chi" sound from its mouth.

Wei Shen ignored him and walked back to his empty home alone. He placed the book in his hand on the desk and lay on the bed. It was damp and cold, but he was completely unaware of it.

Finally, he patted himself on the back to cheer himself up. He was going to prepare for the examination to become a scholar, so he came to the desk. But soon he was attracted by the strange "Ancient Ming Jing". He flipped it open as if possessed by a ghost. The handwriting on it was just as his friend said, crooked and like a child's tracing, but still barely legible.

He tried to read him out.

"The vastness of the universe, the darkness of heaven and earth, there is a creature called a toad, with three legs and black eyes, sitting in a moon cave, its sound like a chime. Mars is flying around in disorder, and when it encounters the cold pool of the North Sea, it is seen swallowing clouds and spewing mist..."

Wei Shen was reading what sounded like an introduction to some strange creature, but the further he read, the different it became.

"The toad is the essence of Yin, but the truth is hidden in the catastrophe. The method is: swallow the miasma, observe the prophecies, and transform." As he recited, the characters seemed to come alive, floating up from the scroll and immersing into Wei Shen's whole body. His eyes became blurred. The sound of a toad hummed in the damp corner of the room, and the shadow of a bright moon in the sky, which was originally shrouded in dark clouds, actually fell through the clouds.

Wei Shen kept hearing awkward and difficult voices, and they became louder and louder!

"Seeing the Big Dipper hanging upside down in the Purple Palace..."

"Lead the miasma into the Crimson Palace, and transform it into a red pearl that will transform nine times..."

"At midnight on the Jiazi day, knock your teeth and swallow your saliva seven times, chanting forty-nine ancient notes..."

"Yin gives birth to Yang, and the place of death is the cauldron of alchemy..."

"The one who eclipses the moon becomes the moon!!!"

"Fang Chengyue!!!"

Passages of scripture exploded in his mind, causing Wei Shen to fall and curl up beside his desk. His whole body felt like it was being eaten by ants. The sound in his ears did not lessen despite his pain. Until his vision became blurry, he saw a blood-marked toad jump out from the shadows. He looked up at the moon, and his mouth kept chirping. The sound became noisy, and his ears were full of buzzing. The candle on the desk flickered...

By the time the noisy sound reached its peak, Wei Shen was no longer able to feel anything and fainted.

The strange shadow of the moon in the sky attracted many people's attention.

Su Mu looked up in the inn: "What a weird cultivation method! Is it that ominous one, or... that young man? Pure and ominous, orthodox and strange, weird! Too weird..."

The mirage dragon, who was about to go to the Duke's Mansion to take the life of Duke Zheng, was now fighting with an old man in a white robe. Duke Zheng really did not expect that the two bloodlines could get things done. In order to be on the safe side, he still invited some capable sorcerers.

With such a huge reward, someone will definitely come out, and he is not an ordinary person. The person he invited through his connections is also of ordinary status. Although there are other gods in Yu Dynasty, the one with the most extraordinary status in Yu Dynasty must be the Holy Lord of the Way of the Spiritually Bright and Benevolent who can relieve disasters and bring all kinds of blessings.

This holy monarch held an extremely high status in the Yu Dynasty.

Duke Zheng had to resort to countless favors to invite the temple keeper of the Shengjun Temple to guard the gate for him, but for his own life, it was all worth it. The temple keeper was willing to come, partly because of favors, and partly because he wanted to slay demons and eliminate evil, and relieve disasters. This required real power. After all, those who could become temple keepers had to ask the gods for advice by throwing cups. Those who were virtuous, kind, hated evil, and were powerful were all indispensable.

From the perspective of a mortal like Duke Zheng, the dragon was nothing more than a demon transformed. Saving the dying and the wounded at all costs was sacred, but taking people's souls was definitely evil.

Before that, when the Mirage Dragon met the two men in the central desert, he had predicted in his dream that he would take his soul, and that he would not die if he did not commit suicide. After the dream, Duke Zheng would rather believe it than not, so he directly mobilized his connections and invited the priest of the Shengjun Temple. This led to the scene where the Mirage Dragon was stopped. At that time, he thought that taking a mortal's soul was casual, and he had forgotten about the creditor, humanity.

Also, the temple keeper had not yet invited the god, so he did not know that this god had a close connection with Su Mu.

Although Mirage Dragon is now at ease, he admits that he underestimated this human. The old man in front of him is very good in both martial arts and physical body, as well as his method of breaking illusions. Of course, he is just good.

He performed the Tiangang Step and held the magic sword in hand, making the mirage dragon worry about being cut off by the magic sword that could break the delusion and thus suppress his breath.

The temple keeper shouted, "Monster, look at the sword!!"

The old temple keeper actually didn't see through the mirage dragon suit, but that didn't mean he wouldn't try to cheat.

"Huh, do you think I'm stupid? Human!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the old temple keeper's eyes narrowed and immediately became solemn. Until now, he had not found any flaws in this monster. The person standing in front of him was a real person, but he was not, and the other party looked like a cat playing with a mouse, which was very annoying.

Could it be that what Duke Zheng said was true?

On the other side, when the mirage dragon saw the man opposite him change his expression, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he didn't care and didn't try to hide it. He just said the wrong thing. His disguise was not meant for an ordinary person to see.

Facing the sudden sword light from the temple keeper, the mirage dragon easily blocked the sword with a sword transformed in one hand, and with the force of the sword he jumped back, and a golden bell appeared in his other hand.

"Go get some sleep, old man."

The golden bell in his hand swayed lightly, and the sound of the bell resonated through the air, instantly enveloping the temple priest, and a feeling of drowsiness swept over him.

The temple keeper's face changed and he immediately bit his tongue. The stinging sensation kept him awake, but in this trance, the mirage dragon had come to his side without him knowing when, and chopped down with the sword in his hand.

However, the temple keeper was not a fish on the chopping board. He made a hand gesture and a strange power burst out from his body!
