Chapter 27: A Night Stroll in the Army
"Wen Fei let out a helpless sigh and said: 'Alas, I used too cruel methods in the mortal world... and was found out by those above.'"
"Then, Master Xian, you have nothing to worry about?" Zhang Shu asked in shock.
"What's the big deal? At worst, I have someone backing me up, it's just that I won't be able to return for a while!"
Wen Fei deliberately spoke in a vague and mysterious tone, without providing any detailed explanation. He left it to Zhang Shu Ye to fill in the gaps with his own imagination, and indeed, Zhang Shu Ye's imagination ran wild, adding several layers of meaning that weren't there originally. As a result, he easily believed Wen Fei's words.
In the legend of all ages, there have been many stories about immortals descending to the mortal world. However, it has never been heard that an immortal would descend to help mortals fight a war. It is said that immortals are compassionate and benevolent, at most using their flying swords to slay demons or monsters, but using such powerful magic to kill hundreds or thousands of people in one go? That's something unheard of! Violating the heavenly code, it's as normal as can be!
Zhang Shu Ye suddenly became enthusiastic, saying: "During the time the immortal master is in the mortal world, why not travel with Zhang Mou? This time, with the immortal master's divine power, we have won a great victory and I have already sent a swift report to the imperial court. I believe that when the imperial court hears about it, they will be overjoyed and there will certainly be rewards bestowed upon us! I have already petitioned for the immortal master's merits to be recognized, and the imperial court holds in high esteem those who are truly virtuous and wise. When they see the immortal master, they will surely be extremely delighted."
Zhang Shu was overjoyed and suddenly lost his train of thought. But Wen Fei also understood, and had long wanted to experience the prosperity of Eastern Capital of Song Dynasty, so he agreed on the spot.
This way, Zhang Shu Ye immediately felt relieved. Generally, those with the Tao and high-ranking people often have strange temperaments and a haughty attitude of a high-ranking official. They usually need to be invited by the imperial court three or four times before they agree to come. Never seen anyone like Wen Fei, who agreed without even being asked by the Emperor! Not a bit of the usual haughty attitude of a high-ranking official!
But it's better this way, Zhang Shu Ye quickly arranged for a place for Wen Fei to stay. Wen Fei then excused himself to practice his skills and bid farewell.
The jade pendant can return to modern times after being recharged. It's just that Wen Fei really doesn't know if the faith given to recharge the jade pendant can be used multiple times.
He only knew that the matter of sealing gods was illusory and he didn't want to think about it. The key was to get more power from faith and incense, as the source of the jade pendant's power, so that he could travel freely between Northern Song and modern times.
He sighed, the most annoying thing about this jade pendant was that there was no user manual or operating instructions. Everything had to be figured out by himself, but fortunately, Wen Fei found a way to recharge the jade pendant, although he wasn't sure if it was correct, but he believed it was absolutely right! That is the power of incense faith.
In fact, one of the reasons Wen Fei agreed to stay in Tokyo was that he could only find a way to get more faith and incense in this Northern Song space-time. In modern society, no one would worship him as a god. Even if there were, it's estimated that they would soon be targeted by the police and cracked down on as a cult.
Wen Fei still remembers that in his hometown, there was a divine tree next to a pond that was particularly effective. Many people went there to offer incense and pray for medicine, and even cancer patients were cured several times. Later, the police found out and directly dispatched their forces, cutting down the tree and filling up the pond.
Anyway, when Wen Fei arrived in the Northern Song Dynasty, he had already handled everything and there was nothing to worry about in modern times. Most importantly, now he has no worries behind him, at least the luster on the jade pendant can support him back to modern times, without being completely trapped in this painful Northern Song Dynasty space.
So Wen Fei's mood completely relaxed, and he simply treated this trip as a long-term journey. Look at the modern backpackers, traveling to many countries with their backpacks, but no matter how capable they are, can they travel back to 1,000 years ago? This is a unique experience that even the most seasoned travelers cannot have!
For many days, Wen Fei didn't ask about external affairs and began to practice his skills in this Northern Song space-time. Although he brought a mobile phone, even a laptop with hundreds of Gs of videos stored on it, and had specially ordered a hand-cranked universal charger from the internet, making preparations for a long-term battle. But really arriving in the Northern Song dynasty was still too boring. A large amount of time was spent practicing, especially the several volumes of scriptures copied from the Chen family that made Wen Fei extremely infatuated.
Wen Fei had recognized these spells as being derived from the "Panfa Returns to the Sect" and their power was naturally far inferior to that of the authentic Thunder Spell. However, for Wen Fei, they were extremely useful. When combined with the Earthly Thunder Spell he practiced, they produced an astonishing effect.
He practices the Five Qi Returning to Yuan Gong every day, and then collects the earth's energy. Collecting the earth's energy requires examining its quality. Wen Fei also often practices in modern times. He found that the earth's energy is weakest in cities, and better in rural areas. However, whether it's a city or a rural area, it's much weaker than the original natural state of ancient times!
In the city, everything is covered with cement, and it's not worth mentioning. Even in rural areas, the earth energy is only green or dark green at most. But in this unknown place called Luoma Ji, the earth energy collected here has already turned purple. According to the theory of Earth Thunder Method, the better the quality of the earth energy, the deeper the color.
However, Wen Fei had only been practicing for less than a few days when he encountered a problem. On this day, he was in the middle of his practice, gathering earth energy, and the military camp was very quiet at night, probably because as soon as it got dark, there wasn't even a hint of movement.
Even the laborers who had been tired all day had gone to bed early. Fortunately, Wen Fei's tent was near his own temple, which didn't even have a signboard. According to Zhang Shuye, during the Song Dynasty, it belonged to the orthodox heresy that officials from various places could destroy!
There were no other tents around, and the murmurs of the soldiers and laborers could not be heard. For a time, apart from the chirping of insects and the singing of cicadas, there was no other sound.
Wen Fei had just absorbed the earth's energy and for a moment his heart was racing, his yin soul escaping as he thought about going out for a stroll on this Northern Song night.
He didn't think much and Wen Fei slowly entered a meditative state. With his recent cultivation, his mind was free from distractions, so even entering meditation was much faster than before.
Who would have thought that Wen Fei's yin soul had just escaped, and he was suddenly frightened silly. A red aura spread across the sky, like a vast red ocean, a boiling sea of fire!
Wen Fei's yin soul had just appeared when it was suddenly scorched by the sea of flames, instantly giving him an extremely painful feeling that transmitted from his yin soul to his heart. It felt as if his entire body had been scalded, and even though his soul had escaped, his whole body involuntarily curled up in pain.
