Chapter 122: *Guiyi* Blinking

~8 min read 1,469 words

A few hours later, the sun gradually set, and Lin Feng returned to the wooden house from the courtyard.

Through the *Zhiren* under his command, he found that it seemed that overnight, people from the Incense Temple had appeared in places like Liuzhou, Linzhou, and Mingzhou.

In particular, the god temples built by the Incense Temple in Liuzhou and Linzhou, which had suffered from military disasters, attracted a large number of common people to burn incense and kowtow.

The situation in Mingzhou was slightly better, but there were also many people from the Incense Temple acting in the villages and villages.

Most of the corpse-collecting *Zhiren* in Lin Feng's hands were in Linzhou and Liuzhou, and his grasp of the situation in Mingzhou was not sufficient.

However, even so, Lin Feng realized that this behavior of the Incense Temple was absolutely not simple, and there must be a deeper purpose hidden behind it.

"The assassin *Zhiren* haven't been out for a few days. Tonight, let them go to Linzhou and Liuzhou to find trouble with the Incense Temple. As long as they bring back some corpses, the specific situation will be clear at a glance!"

Lin Feng is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business, but he has always been very vigilant about the Incense Temple force, so naturally, he couldn't leave them alone.

After making the decision, Lin Feng threw this problem to the back of his mind, and then began to focus his energy on the things in front of him.

Today, when he went to buy mulberry paper, he bought some grass paper, cinnabar, and brushes, and he wanted to use these things to practice his talisman-drawing ability.

Although he used a wooden stick to draw for an afternoon on the ground yesterday, he always felt that it was not the case.

So he specifically bought these things to practice today, but was delayed for half a day by the Incense Temple's affairs.

After crushing the cinnabar and mixing it with water to make red ink, Lin Feng used a brush dipped in cinnabar to start drawing talismans on the grass paper.

Drawing talismans requires one go, stable, smooth, and exactly the same as the original version, otherwise the talismans drawn will have no effect.

Lin Feng tried a few times and found that it was indeed much more like the real thing. At the very least, the things drawn looked like the real thing at first glance.

However, if you want to draw talismans that can truly be used, you must use the corresponding things.

After drawing more than a hundred God-Inviting Talismans in a row, Lin Feng gradually felt that the drawings were becoming more and more abstract. This was the manifestation of over-practicing, and there was no point in continuing to practice.

He had experience with this in his previous life, especially when practicing calligraphy, the more he practiced, the worse he wrote in the end, and finally he even felt more and more awkward, to the point where he couldn't recognize the characters he wrote.

"Hoo~ Corpse-Suppressing Talismans and Evil-Driving Talismans are of no use to me, so I can skip practicing them."

"However, this God-Inviting Talisman is different. According to the records of the old Daoist priest, this kind of talisman is the true core inheritance of Xuande Mountain."

"But I, an outsider, can't invite the ancestors of Xuande Mountain. After all, I am not a disciple of Xuande Mountain. Or do I need to invite other things?"

A strange expression appeared on Lin Feng's face, and this point was not difficult to do.

For example, if he wanted to invite the power of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, he only needed to modify the talisman head and turn it into a special mark representing the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

As for how much power of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven he could invite in the end, it depended on the quality of the talisman and his personal strength.

This method of inviting ancestors to help is quite popular among Daoist priests. Some wild Daoist priests without a sect even invite some *Guiyi* to help.

Back then, Su Xiao was used to inviting part of the power of the *Xiong Gui* Red Lantern to fight against the enemy. In general, this kind of talisman has many benefits.

After resting for a while, Lin Feng started to draw other talismans again, such as the "Life Talisman". This kind of talisman can transfer part of the damage when used on oneself.

However, compared to the effect of the substitute puppet, it was much worse. The only advantage was that it was easier to make than the substitute puppet.

There is also a "Death Talisman" commonly used by the Suppression of Strange Office. This kind of talisman can make people on the verge of life and death fall into a state of suspended animation, which can be counted as a relatively practical talisman.

Lin Feng also practiced for a while, and stopped drawing when he felt that the talismans he drew were becoming more and more abstract.

"Let's stop practicing here today. If I draw any more, I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize talismans in the future!"

Putting away all the paper, pens, and talismans on the table, Lin Feng drank some tea and rested for a while.

Although drawing talismans doesn't consume physical strength, it is a big consumption of brain power. Anyway, Lin Feng felt a headache now.

"It's getting late, so I'll go to Xinglong Ling to bury the corpses first, and by the way, arrange for the assassin *Zhiren* to find trouble with the Incense Temple!"

After resting for a while, Lin Feng stood up directly, and then the shadows spread, and his whole person disappeared into the wooden house.

The situation deep in Xinglong Ling remained the same: the moon was dark and the wind was high, there were no people, and only mounds of graves and rows of heavy-armored *Zhiren* were guarding here.

"Swish, swish~"

As Lin Feng appeared, *Zhiren* dressed in night clothes also appeared in front of him one after another.

"I have already remembered the locations of the Incense Temple people in Linzhou and Liuzhou. Hehe, I want to see what kind of medicine is being sold in the Incense Temple's gourd!"

Lin Feng passed the order to these assassin *Zhiren*, and soon these assassin *Zhiren* disappeared into the dark night. With their speed, they should be able to reach the scheduled place in the middle of the night.

After finishing this, Lin Feng began to bury the corpses in the graveyard to continue to enhance his strength.

More than a hundred corpses were soon buried by him. After practicing martial arts as usual, Lin Feng began to check the situation of each of his *Gui*.

"Hmm? Why do I feel that the corpse oil candle is shorter?"

The *Xi Gui* didn't need to be offered to, but when giving it *Yang Gui Xiang*, Lin Feng suddenly noticed that the white candle originally inserted in front of the *Xi Gui*'s tomb was shorter than when it first started.

Then Lin Feng immediately turned to the page of the *Xiu Gui*. The situation here was even more obvious. The length of the red candle was only half of what it was originally!

"It's strange, did this happen before?"

This kind of thing hadn't happened before. Don't look at the fact that these corpse oil candles looked exactly the same as ordinary candles.

But in essence, they were not the same thing. Before, Lin Feng didn't find any signs of these candles being consumed at all. I just don't know why they started to be consumed now.

Thinking about it, Lin Feng summoned the *Xiu Gui* and observed it carefully.

Looking closely, the *Xiu Gui* was still the same as before, wearing mourning clothes stained red, with lifelike underworld makeup on its face, looking no different from when it was alive, and its strength hadn't improved much.

However, just when Lin Feng approached its face, he suddenly saw the *Xiu Gui*'s eyes blink!

"Swish!"

This scared Lin Feng, and his whole person flew back instantly. He had never even thought about *Guiyi* blinking!

In Lin Feng's understanding, ghosts are purely humanoid weapons that kill according to rules!

Although this kind of thing can move, it has no emotions, no thoughts, and no self-consciousness!

But just now, Lin Feng was 100% sure that when he approached the *Xiu Gui*, this *Gui* did blink!

However, after Lin Feng pulled away, the *Xiu Gui* still had no movement. Then Lin Feng tried to control it and found that this *Gui* still obeyed his command very smoothly.
