Mountain Patrol Military Officer
Chapter 104: Incense Dharma Eye

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Incense Dharma Eye

Chen Yuan followed some kind of induction and flew to the outskirts of Qingshan County.

The mountains and forests passed by his side, and his figure, like a ghost, silently arrived at a stream a dozen miles away.

Amidst the murmuring waters, atop a green stone in the water there sat a goat-bearded old man.

At this moment, the old man was closing his eyes, his lips moving rapidly as if reciting something.

Then, he flicked both sleeves.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

Page after page of scripture coalesced and flew out, spinning mid-air, encircling in layers.

After that, the tiny characters on those pages seemed to come alive, wriggling out of the scrolls like tadpoles, flickering uncertainly.

But the characters each had different manifestations.

Some of the characters were faintly glowing with golden light.

Some swirled together, yet could not take shape.

One moment turning into weapons, the next vaguely forming human shapes.

Like tearing clouds, the shapes floated aimlessly.

A few breaths later, a pale golden figure finally congealed, a green gauze scarf on his head, two White Jade Circles hanging behind his ears, and dressed in a Single Green Luo Group Flower Battle Robe. Around his waist was a Double-tailed Turtle Shell Silver Belt, and in his hand, a Black Dragon Mace.

Fully featured, yet with lifeless eyes, devoid of a speck of paint.

As soon as this figure appeared, the stream beneath the stone stirred, as an aura of authority exuded.

But the very next second.

From one scroll, two characters burst forth, whipping up a fierce wind, scattering the roaming characters all around.

In an instant, a golden figure emerged resplendently, his presence expanding with every breath.

During this moment, both the earlier coalesced weapons and the figure clothed in the green Luo battle robe retreated as if lower beings faced with their superior.

At this time, Gongsun Yang seated on the green stone opened his eyes, and seeing this scene, his face revealed a satisfied expression.

Then, he let out a loud cry.

"Today, I humbly request the presence of everyone to lend their strength to this old man!"

With that, a whirlwind encircled his body.

Immediately, characters glowing with light flew toward his body.

After that, those cloud-like shapes followed, and then the green Luo battle figure.

All of them merging into Gongsun Yang’s body, his inner aura growing increasingly intense, the wild wind howling.

However, that golden apparition alone stood still and unmoved.

"Presumably, having just condensed the Spirit Body, I am yet to control it, my lord, please forgive the offense!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and reached out through the air, intending to forcefully invite the spirit to possess him.

The golden apparition was restrained and slowly drew closer to Gongsun Yang.

The latter was full of anticipation, but just as the golden apparition got within three or four feet of his body, it suddenly moved.

"Bang"

"Ouch"

A cry of surprise went up.

Gongsun Yang was seen thrown backward, then flipping back over and clutching his eye with one hand.

With a look of utter shock on his face, he saw the Spirit Body unexpectedly throw a fist out, still unable to comprehend what had happened.

But the next second, a voice eerily sounded by his ear.

"My lord, did you find the grass from last time unappetizing?"

Following the voice’s falling, a figure jumped down from the mountain brook, landing about ten feet away from Gongsun Yang, on the water surface in front of him.

Seeing the newcomer, Gongsun Yang’s expression shocked, followed by a sense of shame as if caught red-handed in the act of drawing caricatures, his gaze darting away.

Although he had anticipated this situation, thinking back on his previous encounters, he felt it better to explain himself to this authority promptly.

He immediately rose and bowed to Chen Yuan, "This old man Gongsun Yang greets Military Officer Captain!"

Then, seeing Chen Yuan frowning at the Spirit Body, Gongsun Yang’s goat beard twitched, and he quickly added,

"Just to clarify, this old man bears no ill will. This involves my own Cultivation Method, please allow me to explain in detail!"

Then, he recounted his experience of writing a book titled "Demon Suppression Chronicles" for Chen Yuan, resulting in the sudden formation of a Spirit Body.

By chance, he also gave a broad explanation of the uniqueness of his Cultivation Method.

In any case, the goal was to avoid any misunderstandings with the Military Officer Captain.

A few minutes later, after Gongsun Yang had finished explaining, he glanced at Chen Yuan with some trepidation.

Chen Yuan’s face twitched slightly upon hearing the storyteller’s account.

The storyteller turned himself into a character in a vernacular novel and even distributed it; this bizarre sense of absurdity was hard to articulate.

The cultivation method of the other party was something he was curious about before. He had consulted Old Wu about it and now, witnessing it firsthand, it seemed even more mystical than he had imagined.

Wen Village, county movement, Spirit Body, Qi Fortune Incense...

"So you’re saying, after writing this book, a Spirit Body related to me formed not long before."

"And to achieve the formation of a Spirit Body, the minimum requirement is Mingzhou?"

"You yourself are not clear about it?"

Gongsun Yang hurriedly nodded and chuckled awkwardly,

"That’s right."

"It’s quite sudden, to say the least."

"I have no idea what exactly happened; the only possibility is that once the book was distributed, it spread across a prefecture."

"But that seems implausible, considering my book was only written a few days ago and spread among the people of Qingshan County for a bit, and Qingshan County is now an isolated city, there’s no way this could have spread..."

Gongsun Yang’s voice trailed off toward the end.

However, this statement reminded Chen Yuan of something, and his eyes gathered ink dots,

"Is there a man with a curly beard who bought this book from you? He’s a colleague of mine, Chen Yuan. Did he come by your place?"

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Yang immediately remembered Qin Hu,

"Yes, I remember now, that’s right, he was here!"

At this answer, Chen Yuan’s expression shifted slightly.

This explains it!

It seemed to indirectly confirm that Qin Hu had safely arrived at the prefecture.

Chen Yuan let out a sigh of relief, his brows and eyes relaxed a bit, and his gaze towards Gongsun Yang softened significantly.

"Let’s set this issue aside for now."

"Now, about this Qi Fortune Incense affair, I’m feeling a bit different now. When I use my Divine Skills to scan my surroundings, I notice wisps of white mist that seem like incense smoke, yet a bit different. You should know the reason behind this."

Gongsun Yang had already detected the change in Chen Yuan’s voice but dared not show any irregularity.

This was a scenario he was indeed familiar with.

"Captain speaks the truth, this is indeed human Qi Fortune Incense, yet not produced through chanting and heart-felt prayer but through the vernacular novel written by the old man. If someone reads this book, empathizing with the characters, in the Nihility Color Realm, this substance is produced. It’s slightly different from incense smoke, yet it converges to the same end."

"The Cultivation Method of the old man’s lineage actually complements both the Captain and me. Captain might want to give it a try and draw in one of these wisps of incense smoke into the Mud Ball for refinement."

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows but said nothing. Then, his eyes glimmered with fragments of silver light.

A streak of silver light shot out from his eyes and pulled several strands of white mist into the Mud Ball.

After pulling the white mist into the Mud Ball, within his Heart Eye, he could see a series of visions.

Someone banged on the table and rose.

Someone’s blood boiled with excitement.

And at the same time, several shouts suddenly echoed in his ears.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Chen Yuan! Chen Yuan!"

"How magnificent, haha!"

"..."

And those wisps of white smoke were directly refined by the silver light into streaks of golden light, surging into his eyes.

Suddenly, between his eyebrows, flesh writhed, and a gold line as thin as a pinky finger rolled under the skin, seeming to break free.

At this moment, the Banshan Tiger Talisman within his Mud Ball trembled.

"Dharma Eye (Cultivation Enabled): To cultivate this method, one must discern the various aspects of all beings to enlighten the Heart and perceive one’s true nature. It can shoot out Blazing Light Dharma, and as cultivation deepens, its power becomes increasingly boundless, capturing enemies and slaying demons!"
