Chapter 94: Gambling tactics? The Shenwei Army came, Zhao Xing was shocked!

The Cloud Map of All Laws is the best among the legendary paintings because it contains all the mysteries of cloud laws and has another feature: it can present corresponding feelings according to the viewer's intentions.

For example, Zhao Xing’s previous underground palace phantom painting also has a top-quality painting called "Underground Palace of All Laws". Whatever effect Zhao Xing wants to comprehend, he will most likely get that type of underground palace method.

That’s why Lu Qian wrote, “May all your wishes come true.”

The Cloud Map of All Things can truly make the wishes of those who comprehend it come true.

Before comprehending, Zhao Xing also did some screening in his mind:
"Among the intermediate-level cloud techniques, there is the Flowing Cloud Technique. The clouds flow continuously, and when the clouds are supported, their momentum is like a large river, and the speed is also very fast."

"The Cloud Soldier Technique has the strongest attack power. The clouds can transform into various magical weapons. When fighting against the clouds, the lethality is the highest."

"The Blood Cloud Spell is the most bizarre. It can attack the caster through the blood cloud. Once entangled by the blood cloud, it will be impossible to break free in a short period of time. The blood and cloud energy will be consumed excessively. If the blood cloud is defeated, the greatest damage will be caused to the enemy itself."

"The Thunder Cloud Method can boost the power of the Thunder Method."

"There is also the less popular Freezing Cloud Technique..."

"However, the way of cloud magic is mainly about domineering. I think the most domineering one is still the swallowing cloud method! This is also the magic skill I was more familiar with in my previous life."

"It can cut and devour the enemy's cloud energy and use it for its own benefit. It can even temporarily gain the effects of other cloud techniques."

"The main point is to be domineering, and in a large-scale melee, the more you fight, the stronger you become."

"My elementary cloud technique actually has some hints of the swallowing cloud technique, but it is still not perfect. It is only the result of my operation skills and experience."

After some recollection, Zhao Xing confirmed what he was thinking, and then he opened his eyes to look at the scroll.

The scene of enlightenment presented in the scroll is a sea of ​​clouds.

There are clouds of various shapes in the sea of ​​clouds, some of which look like mountain tops, which are relatively common cloud forms.

Zhao Xing flew past quickly.

Some of them are in the shape of weapons, which is the Bingyun method, and Zhao Xing also skipped them.

Some of the clouds were colorful. As Zhao Xing thought about it, these clouds floated past him.

He always kept one thought in mind, that is, to learn the Cloud Swallowing Technique!

"Why haven't we found it in so long? Didn't they say that the Wanfa Cloud Map can make your wishes come true?"

"Is it a fake?"

Zhao Xing felt that he was determined enough and should be able to find the cloud-swallowing method easily.

But many kinds of clouds floated past it, and it didn't find what it wanted.

"The Cloud Swallowing Technique, I want the Cloud Swallowing Technique!"

Zhao Xing shouted in his heart.

Sudden--

The clouds in front of my eyes disappeared, all the clouds floated away, revealing a blue sky.

"Is it over? This is really a fake? It's impossible... huh?"

Just when Zhao Xing was puzzled, he suddenly looked in one direction.

I saw that all the clouds I had just seen were floating in this direction.

In the distant sky, a dark cloud vortex appeared, absorbing all the clouds.

Every time it absorbs a cloud, it flickers and then grows a little bigger.

At this terrifying swallowing speed, the black clouds expanded rapidly, covering Zhao Xing's entire field of vision in the blink of an eye.

"Om~"

Zhao Xing was also absorbed into the black cloud vortex.

In the center of the cloud vortex.

Specks of black light penetrated into Zhao Xing's body.

Zhao Xing's body flickered, and a black light appeared, looking extremely evil.

After flashing seven times, the black color gradually subsided.

next moment.

Zhao Xing in the real world opened his eyes.

Four meters above the head, a dark cloud appeared, and in the center of the cloud, there was a huge vortex.

"The Cloud Swallowing Technique! This is the Cloud Swallowing Technique!"

Zhao Xing looked up and felt somewhat delighted.

"Whoo~"

The preaching painting suddenly caught fire and soon turned into ashes.

Unlike other preaching paintings, the top-quality Wanfa series has only one chance to comprehend it.

But the effect of the Wanfa Cloud Map is also more powerful!

While Zhao Xing was meditating, the black light on his body flashed seven times, proving that he had comprehended this magic to the seventh level!

It can reach seven turns in one breath, which shows how powerful its effect is.

"Under the effect of the top-grade preaching painting, unless one's talent is very poor, one will only reach the first or second level after realizing the spell."

"If you have normal talent and can comprehend the desired cloud method, you can reach the third to sixth level with this opportunity."

"Seventh turn is the limit of the fourth-order cloud diagram preaching."

Although it is not as good as the "Wanfa Lingxiu" in the major sacred mountains, the effect is already very good.

After all, how rare is it to see the beauty of all things? Basically, they only appear when the mountains are closed or opened.

Preaching paintings can be mass-produced, so by comparison, the means of obtaining them are much more stable.

"With the Cloud Swallowing Technique, the four intermediate-level techniques of time and space are barely complete." Zhao Xing was in a good mood.

Once the four methods of heaven and earth are complete, the spells will be more powerful when combined.

Of course, the [Dark Wind] that Zhao Xing learned cannot be considered a normal mid-level wind technique, and it does not provide much enhancement when paired with the Swallowing Cloud Technique.

But the power of other spells, such as casting the Cloud Swallowing Spell first and then the Thunder Attracting Spell, are much stronger than before, and the same goes for the Rain Spell.

The Four Methods of Heavenly Time are so called because they are interconnected and can enhance each other.

By the same token, the four methods of geographical advantages, Xuan Tu, Di Zang, Li Tu and Di Gong, are also related to each other.

"The last scroll."

"A fourth-level, mid-grade preaching painting, [Earth Crack]."

After a short rest, Zhao Xing opened the last box and took out the scroll.

"Boom~"

Zhao Xing felt the ground beneath his feet shaking, and a mountain in front of him was also shaking violently.

"Kakakaka~"

Cracks appeared in the earth, deep and bottomless, spewing out terrible power of the earth veins.

"Chichi~"

Zhao Xing was about to jump over the crack when a fiery red beam of light suddenly burst out from the front.

The hot magma, with high temperature, floated around and melted the hard rocks nearby.

Zhao Xing quickly retreated, but a crack appeared behind him.

The violent power of the earth veins appeared again, but this time it was the familiar cold wind that blew!

Woohoo~
Zhao Xing felt as if his soul was about to be blown away and he was on the verge of falling.

Just as I was gritting my teeth and holding on, suddenly——

"boom!"

A loud noise was heard, and the mountain in front split in half, and huge rocks rolled down from above.

Zhao Xing wanted to dodge, but he found that unknown vines appeared under his feet at some point, and they quickly wrapped around him like a reptile.

I finally managed to break free.

"Guru Guru~"

Suddenly, a fountain appeared under his feet and sent Zhao Xing flying.

Wait until he falls freely.

"Zheng!"

He was pierced in the chest by a sharp object.

Instead, a huge stone sword appeared from the ground.

The whole person was completely penetrated.

It was painful and tearing, but strangely, Zhao Xing's mind became clearer.

Just like the cold wind and magma before, he could still observe the mystery of these horrific scenes.

In this way, Zhao Xing was pierced by the stone sword and hung horizontally in the air, watching the horrific scenes on the earth.

"Buzz~" Half an hour later, Zhao Xing opened his eyes.

[You have observed the fourth-level intermediate-grade preaching painting 'Earth Crack', and you have comprehended the intermediate-level spell 'Five Elements Earth Crack'. The remaining number of comprehension times: 3]

[Five Elements Earth Splitting: Intermediate Spell]

[Progress: Third Level (3546/9999)]

[Effect: The earth veins surge wildly, causing chaos in the world, and using the power of the five elements of the earth veins to attack randomly. ]

"Five Elements Earth-Splitting Technique? You actually comprehended this technique in the Earth-Splitting Technique." Zhao Xing looked strange. "There are many Earth-Splitting Techniques in this Earth-Splitting Diagram, but you comprehended this one?"

The reason why Zhao Xing looked strange was entirely because of the nickname of this magic.

The Five Elements Earth-Splitting Method is also known as the 'Gambling Dog Tactics'!
The actual effectiveness of this spell depends entirely on luck.

It will randomly appear one or more effects from five lines.

When it is strong, it is terrifyingly strong. All five elements are used together, and one method is equivalent to five methods!

When you are weak, use the Five Elements Earth-Splitting Technique and a small sapling will pop out, which can only help you in battle.

"The ground veins in each place are different. For example, the ground veins in Nanyang County are very stable. However, this spell can only exert its greatest power in places where the ground veins are violent."

"The gambler's tactics all depend on luck, which is not bad. The probability that I can get the effect of all five elements should be quite high." Thinking of this, Zhao Xing felt a little comforted.

After all, he is now Yan San's luck, and when he encounters this kind of "luck-type" spell, the chance of triggering a great success is relatively high.

Most of the other spells are very stable.

Good luck will only be triggered when you are just getting started and your realm is low.

Of course, there is a probability of success and failure.

The power of spells fluctuates greatly, which is actually a manifestation of the unstable spell control ability in the novice stage.

Once you get started, your Ju Yuan level and realm will be relatively stable, and the probability of triggering will be very low.

During battle, sometimes the state is very peak, which will increase the power of the spell. As for the breakthrough in battle? The probability is extremely low.

"I'll see if there's an opportunity to use it later. If there's a chance, or if I encounter an extremely favorable geographical environment, I can use this trick."

The first three paintings all exceeded expectations, and the last one was barely satisfactory.

On October 4, Zhao Xing was a guest at the clan's mansion.

On October 5th, Zhao Xing was a guest at Xue's house.

On October 6, Zhao Xing was a guest at Chen's house.

During the five days in the sect's mansion, he completed the comprehension of two preaching paintings.

He wanted to go to the old Si Nong to learn another method, but unexpectedly, after only one night, Xue Wenzhong had to go to the county town to visit his grandson Xue Bai.

So on October 6th, he came to Chen Shijie's house as a guest.

At dusk, a mysterious guest also came to the outside of Chen's house.

Chen Shijiehe was doing daily training in the training ground in the front hall, while Zhao Xing was meditating in the Pear Garden.

Suddenly, Chen Shijie noticed some unusual fluctuations in the breeze and looked outside abruptly.

Through the door, he saw a vague black shadow appear outside.

"Who dares to spy on me?!"

"Chen Shijie, you have such great authority!" The black shadow stopped shaking, stabilized his body, and transmitted his voice in secret. An old voice came into his ears.

When Chen Shijie heard the voice, he immediately showed joy: "Long Xiao? Why are you here so early?!"

"It's boring. My voice has changed, how can you still recognize me?" The black shadow's voice returned to normal.

"You and I are brothers. I'd recognize you even if you turned into ashes." Chen Shijie said with a smile. "But why are you here so early?"

"Should you invite me in first?" Long Xiao said.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Please come in."

After Chen Shijie finished speaking, the figure outside the gate leaped over and appeared in the training ground.

Long Xiao put down the black robe he was wearing, revealing his true face. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and carried a big sword behind him. Standing on the parade ground, he looked like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

"Good boy, your killing sword skills have improved again." Chen Shijie took a look and praised.

"You haven't been idle either. In the five years since you left the Shenwei Army, your perception has become more acute." Long Xiao stared at Chen Shijie with sharp eyes. "I just arrived outside your house and you noticed me."

The two looked at each other and smiled heartily.

They both discovered that they had not let up on each other during the years of separation. With just one glance, they knew that the other was still the like-minded good brother they once were!
"Let's go in and talk."

The two walked into the main hall side by side.

At this time, Zhao Xing, who had finished his meditation, also walked out of the hall. Although he did not hear Long Xiao's voice, he heard Chen Shijie's voice.

"Master Chen, what happened?"

"It's okay. A guest has arrived. You've arrived just in time. Come in and I'll introduce him to you."

After entering, Zhao Xing saw Long Xiao next to Chen Shijie, and his face looked a little surprised.

"Hmm?" Long Xiao keenly grasped the change in Zhao Xing's expression, "You seem to know me?"

Of course I know him, Shenxiao Hou Longxiao... I used to work for you, but in which year was he conferred the title of Marquis? Not during the Jingxin period, but I think it was during the Dazhi period?
"I don't know him, I just feel that your aura is amazing, like a sharp sword. I am overwhelmed by your power." Zhao Xing bowed his head and quickly adjusted himself.

Long Xiao nodded and turned to look at Chen Shijie: "Is this the boy you were talking about? He seems to be just average."

Chen Shijie said calmly: "He is still young and has not seen many sword masters like you. If he joins the army and trains for more than ten years, you may have to rely on him for a living."

"Oh? It's okay for him to rely on you as the military minister of agriculture for a living, but you said you will rely on him for a living in the future?" Long Xiao looked at Zhao Xing carefully again. Just now, he felt that Zhao Xing was intimidated by his aura, but he was just average. But after Chen Shijie said that, he looked at him carefully again and found that Zhao Xing had an extraordinary temperament.

"Zhao Xing, let me introduce you. This is Long Xiao, the captain of the Shenwei Army. He is also my good brother."

"Greetings, General." Zhao Xing bowed. The rank of Yihui Captain was a seventh-rank official position, which meant that Long Xiao was at least a seventh-rank expert, it could only be higher, not lower.

"No need to be so polite. I haven't resumed my official military position yet. I'm only a casual rank." Long Xiao waved his hand.

"Please sit down." Chen Shijie said.

Zhao Xing bowed and took a seat.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually very surprised.

Because there is a huge difference between the current Yihui Captain Long Xiao and the Marquis Shenxiao.

The current Long Xiao is still outgoing and cheerful, but Shen Xiao Hou is calm, introverted, and even a little melancholy.

Zhao Xing had never heard of Chen Shijie in his previous life, but now it seems that Chen Shijie is a member of the Shenwei Army.

Long Xiao both became Wu Hou, but Lao Chen has no name. Did he die prematurely?
"So Long Xiao is also from the Shenwei Army, so his current boss is Shenwei Hou?"

"Marquis Shenwei is gone, Lao Chen is gone too, and this legion seems to have been destroyed..." Zhao Xing thought carefully, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. After all, when he was carrying out the mission, the Shenwei Army no longer existed.

"You haven't told me yet, how did you get here from Xi'er County so quickly? It's such a long distance, and you set out the day you received the letter. Even if you took the dragon-headed ship in the army, there's no reason for you to get here so quickly, right?" Chen Shijie's words suddenly woke Zhao Xing up. 'Six Counties of Pingman' and 'Xi'er County' reminded him of something.

But he wasn't quite sure at this point, so he decided to listen more.

Long Xiao smiled and said, "I didn't take the Dragon Head Tower Ship. I came here from Lihuo Daoyuan, borrowed the passage, first went to Dayuan Prefecture, and then went to Nanyang County."

"How about it, brother, am I being nice? I'll borrow your fire to do my bidding. After we go back, we'll have to travel at least 80,000 miles to repay that True Lord Lihuo."

When Zhao Xing heard this, he subconsciously used the Five Elements to look at Long Xiao, and saw that there was a very faint but high-quality layer of fire power wrapped around this person's body.

If your level is even higher, you can probably see that the power of fire will form a pattern of a divine statue.

The inspection naturally did not escape Long Xiao's perception. He asked curiously, "Boy, do you understand?"

Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said, "I understand. What the general meant by borrowing fire to practice Taoism is to use the Lihuo Altar of the Lihuo Taoist Academy and the extraordinary distance fire escape formation to instantly reach the Lihuo branch of Dayuan Prefecture from Xi'er County thousands of miles away."

"That's right." Long Xiao nodded slightly, "Then do you know why I have to travel 80,000 miles to go back?"

Zhao Xing continued, "Since it is borrowed, it must be returned. The Lihuo True Lord worshipped by the Lihuo Taoist Temple is a figure from ancient times. He was afraid that his disciples would not be able to protect the Lihuo Altar, so he cast a spell and made a great wish for heaven and earth."

"Any outsider who uses the Fire Altar to escape a long distance will then have to rely on his own feet, without using any magic power, and purely on his physical body, to walk twice the distance that he borrowed from the Fire Path."

"General, what you borrowed should be a round trip, which is about 40,000 miles. So after borrowing the road, you need to walk 80,000 miles to repay Lihuo Zhenjun."

"Not bad, you have some knowledge." Long Xiao was a little surprised. A small clerk in the Ministry of Agriculture could know about the affairs of the 72 Taoist temples in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was enough to show the amount of knowledge and reading. In this regard, he at least met the requirements of the military minister of agriculture.

Only by knowing the world and knowing everything about it can you adapt quickly to wherever you go.

The fact that Jun Sinong quickly adapted to the unfamiliar environment meant that the army he was in could also quickly adapt and gain a foothold.

"I've long told you not to underestimate him." Chen Shijie smiled, "Being young doesn't mean he's weak in knowledge."

"Hahaha, that's true." Long Xiao laughed heartily, "But you're too reserved, why do you keep calling me general? I've already told you that I haven't resumed my original position yet, be bold and call me Big Brother Long."

Zhao Xing didn't know what to say. It was purely because of the sight of Long Xiao that some of his habits were activated.

Then Long Xiao pointed at Chen Shijie and said, "Call him Chen Lao Er."

As Zhao Xing looked somewhat stunned, Chen Shijie smiled coldly: "You are trying to take advantage of me, right? When I return to the army, I will starve you for a few meals!"

"Hahahaha. I was wrong, I was wrong, I admit it." Long Xiao quickly smiled and said to himself, "Brother Chen, you are the oldest. Let's talk about business."

"Now, brother, I have arrived twenty days earlier, and no one knows about it. Can I help you wipe out the Xuantian Sect stronghold here?"

　The setting of great success of luck appeared at the very beginning, but it has never been mentioned since then. I will patch it here and standardize it.
