Chapter 1165: Pulling Step by Step (Part 2)
Soon Xu Changqing found the information he wanted. In this idle book, it recorded a large-scale population death in Yongzhou twenty-three years ago. Among the people who died, not only were the noble families from various cities, but also included more than a dozen city lords.
Because of this, this incident also alarmed the Heavenly Palace, and sent a large number of divine guards and the deserted soldiers to investigate the situation, and finally solved the incident. However, the book did not mention how to solve the incident. It was only mentioned that the divine guards and the deserted soldiers sent by the Heavenly Palace also suffered great casualties, and also wrote a special sentence that the casualties did not originate from the body.
A name was mentioned in this passage. This name was on the list of casualties of the Heavenly Palace Divine Guard. When Xu Changqing found the soul-seeding method in the secret room of the bookstore owner, he also saw a letter in the box where this method was placed. The letter was written in an unprecedented secret language, but the signature at the end was a normal text in this world, and this name happened to be the name of the casualties of the Heavenly Palace Divine Guard.
The evidence in his hand cannot prove that the method of the soul seed was the culprit for the large-scale casualties in Yongzhou, this world. Too many subjective conjectures, whether it is the same name or the method of the soul seed can cause soul damage to people in this world, etc., may be just some speculation coincidences, but Xu Changqing's intuition told him that the two are the same thing. And what interested Xu Changqing even more was that this method of the soul seed was not an ancient Dao method, but was more like a secular mysterious mechanic practice method with some magical techniques added. This also made Xu Changqing wonder whether this method might be related to the mysterious outsiders entering the Heavenly Court back then.
Without other clues, everything about the method of the soul seed can only be conjecture. If you want to know more useful things, unless you teach the method of the soul seed to people in this world, see if the method of the soul seed has other unknown effects on the giants in this world, and see if it can cause another great turmoil here.
But this idea was just passed in Xu Changqing's mind, and it was soon dispelled by him, because the bookstore owner had been forced to endure this method for so many years and had not practiced. It was definitely not just fear of the past, but more of it. As for the concerns, it was nothing more than the monitoring of the Heavenly Palace. Logically speaking, if the Heavenly Palace and Yongzhou locals had encountered such heavy casualties because of this soul-type method, then the Heavenly Palace and Yongzhou Prefecture would definitely set up a surveillance like a net to avoid encountering such things again. Spread the soul-type method, not to mention whether it can have an impact, even if there is an impact, it may have just revealed a little sign and will be strongly destroyed by the controllers in this world.
Xu Changqing thought that he had already had a more secret blood seed technique to make the foundation, and there was no need to use the soul seed method to stir up the water in one go. However, he did not completely give up this evil method. He was going to use it as a backhand and throw it out when the blood seed technique might be exposed, diverting the attention of the Heavenly Palace and Yongzhou Prefecture, and giving the blood seed technique more time to prepare.
After putting the book back to its original position, Xu Changqing withdrew from the library and returned to his room, quietly waiting for the bookstore owner to return from Mucheng.
About two hours passed, Xu Changqing's divine thoughts once again felt a trace of qi and blood left in the bookstore owner's body outside the mud city. It seemed that he had already discussed with his friends. Not long after, he saw the bookstore owner walked in directly from the side door of the courtyard where Xu Changqing was, quickly came to Xu Changqing's building, and said directly to Xu Changqing: "I want to learn both methods, is it okay?"
"Of course." The greed and prudence shown by the bookstore owner was exactly in line with Xu Changqing's wishes, so he naturally would not refuse and agreed very readily.
On the contrary, the bookstore owner did not expect Xu Changqing to agree so readily, and couldn't help but be stunned. He swallowed the prepared words back into his stomach.
Afterwards, Xu Changqing explained the two methods in great detail to the bookstore owner. The bookstore owner seemed to have become a well-behaved student, listening very carefully. While Xu Changqing explained the details of the method, he kept asking his own questions. There was no such situation where he pretended to understand because he couldn't get over the face.
After repeatedly explaining the two methods several times, the bookstore owner replied again according to his own understanding, and some of the mistakes were improved by Xu Changqing. Until he had fully understood these two methods, he tried to practice at Xu Changqing's suggestion.
The bookstore owner has mastered the swallowing technique very smoothly. This method of improving one's own quality by ingesting a large amount of food is like a specially created for him or giants like them. He ate all the food stored in his home in one practice.
Perhaps because of the first practice, the bookstore owner felt the cultivation effect that was very obvious, and he felt that his power seemed to have more than doubled.
However, Xu Changqing, as a bystander, knew very well that this was just an illusion of the bookstore owner.
This swallowing technique is a common method for the practice of the three realms of Kunlun. The main purpose is to accumulate over the years to make the body refresh the spirit from quantitative change to qualitative change. It is absolutely impossible to have such a leap-like improvement during the practice process.
This practice of devouring technique largely released the physical strength that the giants in this world originally possessed but never used, so they had a clear feeling. Once all the hidden powers in the body were released, the effect would gradually decrease, or even weaken to a level that could not be felt at all.
Compared to swallowing, it is difficult to perform blood-type techniques. The main reason is that when performing this technique, the bookstore owner always feels that important things are being pulled away from the body. This feeling is not painful, but it is easy to produce an unprecedented inexplicable panic that makes him unwilling to continue.
One method is to practice smoothly and have miraculous effects, while the other method is to practice difficult, which makes people panic. This kind of gap-like bookstore owner who originally tends to plant blood can't help but have the idea of changing his mind.
Xu Changqing saw this little thought of the bookstore owner completely. He didn't say anything about it, nor did he force the bookstore owner to choose the blood seed. He knew very well that once the effect of the swallowing technique was weakened, the bookstore owner would definitely make a new choice. The potential of the body through swallowing technique is also of great help to perform the blood seed technique and condense blood seeds.
After several spell casting practices, Xu Changqing made some improvements to the two spells to make them more suitable for the physical condition of the giants in this world. It was not until the pragmatism the next day that it was completely over.
"I'm leaving. I think I won't meet again in the future. Do you have anything else to ask?" Xu Changqing, who was about to leave, asked to the owner of the bookstore.
The bookstore owner stood up from the ground, looked at Xu Changqing, and was silent for a moment, with a little embarrassed look on his face, as if he was worried about what he really wanted to ask.
Xu Changqing eliminated the other party's concern and said, "If you have any questions, just ask directly! If you can't answer, I won't answer, and if you can answer, I will not answer."
The bookstore owner took a breath, strengthened his courage, and asked in a deep voice: "I want to know who you are?"
Xu Changqing smiled and asked back, "Who do you think I am?"
"I don't know." The bookstore owner shook his head and added: "In short, it is impossible to be just an ordinary hunter living in seclusion in the mountains as you said."
Xu Changqing easily made up a lie and said: "As in fact, like your resistance organization, I hope to break the shackles that have trapped our freedom for countless years. But I am not as crowded as your organization and have a strict structure, so I can only rely on my methods to do something."
There is no substantive content in this vague statement, but because of some resonance content, the listener involuntarily believes this nonsense.
"Are you not from Yongzhou?" The bookstore owner seemed to be very satisfied with Xu Changqing's answer, and also let go of his concerns and asked again.
"No." Xu Changqing honestly admitted, but did not respond to the follow-up answer. Instead, he naturally guided the topic to other directions and said: "I come from the outside world and witnessed the cruelty of the outside world. If we do not save ourselves and let the Heavenly Palace continue to rule like this, we will all perish."
This almost alarmist words seemed so sincere when he heard the bookstore owner. However, he didn't know that Xu Changqing was mixed with some secular psychological suggestion methods when he said this. This method did not have any ordinary aura of power and would naturally not be noticed. Moreover, it was very effective in putting it on the bookstore owner who had already preconceived ideas.
"Have you seen the outside world?" Under Xu Changqing's guidance, the bookstore owner's attention naturally shifted to other places. He showed an extremely strong curious expression on his face, and asked with a little excitement: "What is the outside world like?"
Xu Changqing deliberately kept it a secret and said, "It's indescribable, only if you have seen it, you can know it."
The bookstore owner fell silent again, with a look of thought on his face. After a while, he slowly asked: "Is it possible for us to succeed?"
"You have to ask yourself this." Xu Changqing answered vaguely, but he had already left a hint in his words.
When the bookstore owner heard this, he quickly thought of the blood planting technique in his mind, and involuntarily came up with the idea that his destiny was in control.
Just when the bookstore owner fell into the dream fabricated by Xu Changqing, Xu Changqing also stood up and walked out of the place where he had been staying for almost a month. Not long after leaving, he used the magical power of tens of millions of incarnations to change his appearance, and then entered an empty house outside the city, dressed in a study tour scholar, and walked towards the gate of the maid city.
