Chapter 706 Suspicious
The advantage of hot pot lies in the word "casual". Whether it is meat or vegetarian, you can put it in one pot according to your own preferences, and there is an extra sense of participation in "cooking" to increase your appetite.
The three guards naturally ate very comfortably, holding the bowls, the chopsticks in their hands were flying non-stop, and the cooking speed in the pot couldn't keep up with their eating speed.
But Shen Hao didn't face the gourmet food storm like before, but ate rather absent-mindedly.
Isn't hot pot fragrant? Of course not, the hot pot still tastes the same, but Shen Hao suddenly lost the mood to eat hot pot.
"Master Shen, don't you want to eat?" The guards didn't understand, Shen Hao is usually the one who can eat the most, what's going on now? When I just sat down, I picked up a few chopsticks, and then I seemed to be bored and didn't know what to think.
"Do you think the aura of different people will be very similar?" Shen Hao subconsciously asked the doubts in his heart. He was still thinking about the five people whose aura made him seem to have known him in the alley outside "Eat No Loss".
"Of course. For example, the breaths of direct blood relatives are naturally similar. Or practicing the same exercise for a long time will make different people's breaths similar."
Shen Hao nodded. In fact, he also knew these things, and asking now is just to seek confirmation. The doubt in his heart didn't diminish in the slightest, because he really couldn't think of when and where he had seen people with similar breaths to those five people before.
It stands to reason that Shen Hao shouldn't be so hard to remember if he is a monk.
Naturally, the three guards couldn't help Shen Hao think of anything. After eating and drinking enough, Shen Hao paid the money, and the group returned to the residence of the Fushi Yamen in Jingxi Town.
Shen Hao also temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart, finished today's homework, then closed his eyes and fell asleep until dawn.
Now that his cultivation base has reached the Yuandan realm, the necessary sleep time has also been shortened to two hours, so that Shen Hao can finally spare enough time to practice after he is busy.
And the most fortunate thing is that even though Shen Hao has stepped into the Yuandan realm, the effect of the black beast tattoo on his cultivation has not diminished at all.
Now it has been more than four months and nearly five months since he broke through to the first level of the Yuandan realm, and his realm in the first level of the Yuandan realm has once again approached the limit, and the breakthrough is close at hand.
After breakfast, Shen Hao left the station and arrived at the commander's office again. Today he did not go to the library, but went to the office of the commander's office. He will continue to check all the information about Ruoshui.
And today is the third day of Pang Ban's deadline.
The copybooks are more confidential and more systematic than the essays or classics in the library, and there will be no situation of random notes or no evidence.
The warrant was given by Jiang Cheng, and it was verified by Pang Ban, so Shen Hao did not hinder him from entering the document storehouse. But he could only sit in the review room and wait for the deacon of the file library to deliver the things to him and read them under the supervision of the deacon, because according to the rules, unless there are special circumstances, rubbings are not allowed for anything in the file library go.
There are many documents related to Ruoshui, and Shen Hao narrowed the scope to the talisman masters in Ruoshui Basin.
Even if the scope was reduced, there were still as many as seventeen copybooks sent over in the end, each with a thickness of three to four inches. This is still the result of Shen Hao's demarcation of the time span, if the time span is not set, there must be more.
Pick up the top one and flip through it quickly.
Speaking of talisman masters, it is actually a huge system like alchemy masters and formation masters. It can also be judged by "skills", but it is also restricted by factors such as cultivation and skills. The output is as the name suggests, a talisman.
The status of talisman masters is far inferior to that of alchemists and array masters. The reason is that the threshold for depicting talismans is not high. Generally speaking, as long as the cultivation base meets the basic requirements for talisman depiction, and you can practice repeatedly after knowing the depiction method, you can draw talismans. come out. Moreover, compared with pills and formations, the cost of drawing talismans is much lower. For ordinary monks, as long as they have reached the level of cultivation and have the conditions, they will learn some methods of talisman depiction.
If there are too many people meeting, it will naturally not be taken seriously.
There are only some complex or uncommon or powerful talismans that are difficult for ordinary monks to describe. Therefore, those who can walk and become famous as talisman masters are generally high-level talisman masters.
The situation in Ruoshui River Basin is very special. Apart from those from the Kaizong sect, most of the monks gathered there are casual cultivators, and there are even many good and evil figures staying there.
According to the records in these documents, Shen Hao felt that it was not too much to say that the Xiujie of the Ruoshui River Basin was the most chaotic area in the Jingjiu Dynasty.
There are quite a few unclean things on these more famous talisman masters alone.
Among the monks, it doesn't mean that only evil monks are "evil". The so-called "evil" mainly depends on your behavior and style. Is it considered "evil" for some people to engage in the business of killing people for a long time? It must be counted, and even helping the evil monks to do some indecent or inappropriate activities in the Jingjiu Dynasty is also extremely stupid.
Shen Hao quickly skipped the messages that were useless to him, and soon he locked on one of the files, and there was a record on it that made him breathe a sigh of relief.
The main target of this document is a talisman master named Shi Xiong, who is not a good person, but belongs to the kind of person who wears the skin of a normal monk and does things dirtier than an evil monk. Using his identity as a talisman master as a cover, he has completed various commissions from evil monks in the Jingjiu Dynasty for more than ten years, and his brutality is more than that of ordinary evil monks.
Such a person who can be said to have committed all kinds of crimes was captured by Xuan Qingwei twenty-seven years ago, and was secretly executed by Ling Chi in prison a year later. According to the record in the copybook, this guy was shaved 361 times before he died, so it can be said that he died a terrible death.
These are not the most important. What caught Shen Hao's attention was that a person's name was mentioned in the appendix of this person's confession, Ye Jiao, who was said to be Shi Xiong's master. And this name is the same as the talisman master that Shen Hao saw in the previous essay that can incorporate spells into ordinary words.
According to Shi Xiong, Ye Jiao did not die young, but died of serious injuries while fighting with others. And its unique method does have the effect of "integrating skills into words".
It's just that Shi Xiong's talent is mediocre, and he only knows the method of blending skills into words but has no ability to learn them.
However, Shi Xiong's confession also said that Ye Jiao accepted not only one apprentice, but a total of three, Shi Xiong Xing Er, with a senior brother above and a sister below.
