"Commander Huang? Does that senior with a handsome face?" Wu Mian asked.

"Yes, she is named Huangyin and is the commander of Zhi Jinwu. For the past ten years, she has been commanding Zhi Jinwu to kill the demons of Song State. I only knew from my master yesterday that she came to Changshang."

After talking about the identity of the childish face of a crane, Zhou Changsheng asked: "Can you tell me how you practiced the Four Symbols Protective Method?"

"Senior brother, I really don't know!"

He stared at Wu Mian's eyes for a moment, but Zhou Changsheng only saw the sincerity in Wu Mian's eyes, and could only sigh and said, "Forget it, everyone has their own opportunities. Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you. But since you can practice the Four Symbols Protective Technique and pay attention to Commander Huang, then when you return to the city later, you should be with me. Otherwise you will have some trouble."

"What trouble?"

"On the way back to the city, the scholar's spirit will be combined with the formation that protects Chang Shang. You have already practiced the Four Symbols body protection method. When the spirit and the formation are combined, you may unconsciously inspire the Four Symbols body protection method. Although this is not harmful to others, you have no foundation. If you cannot suppress that combination, you will easily be led by the formation and constantly stimulate the Four Symbols body protection method until the oil is exhausted."

The students’ farewell is indeed related to the guardian’s business!

After a little excited about the confirmation of his guess, Wu Mian said that Zhou Changsheng would be constantly led by the formation guarding Changshang to stimulate the Four Symbols' body protection technique and the lamp was exhausted. He felt a little scared.

The oil is exhausted and the lamp is exhausted. It is a very terrible state, not just the exhaustion of internal force.

Internal strength is not cultivated out of thin air. It is only after the nutrients obtained from daily diet are transformed by internal strength, which is formed and stored in the body. The more brilliant the internal strength is, the more efficient the internal strength is, and some legendary magical abilities can also absorb the essence of heaven and earth to transform internal strength.

After ordinary people exhaust their internal energy, they just breathe a breath, eat something, and then recover after a period of time. However, the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry. It means that after the internal energy is exhausted, they do not breathe at all, and are constantly squeezing their body to refine their internal energy, and refine their internal energy until they have no more refining internal energy.

To put it bluntly, it means refining internal strength until death!

"Thank you for your reminder!"

Wu Mian thanked sincerely.

"Since you call me senior brother, how could I watch you suffer?" Zhou Changsheng waved his hand and said, "You can go back to the queue first. I will call you when I go back later..."

Halfway through his speech, Zhou Changsheng's expression suddenly changed. He took out a snail shell of the size of a thumb from his arms and listened for a while, then turned around and left.

But after taking a few steps, he stopped again, turned to Wu Mian, who was full of confusion and said, "Did you see a monster when you entered school?"

Wu Mian was a little puzzled, but nodded and said, "Yes. When I entered school, I saw the monster who was holding me hostage and informed Senior Brother Kong."

"Then are you willing to accompany me to find a monster now?"

“Eh?”

Three miles west of the Changting Pavilion, there is a boundary monument with the words Changshang engraved on it, indicating that this place is the Changshang territory.

There were nine people standing next to the boundary marker, eight literati wearing casual shirts, and a fat monk with a shiny and hairless head, which was clearly Wukong.

When Zhou Changsheng led Wu Mian to the boundary marker, everyone looked at Wu Mian with surprise.

"Changsheng, who is this?" asked a literary man in a casual shirt.

Wu Mian looked at his clothes and the pattern showed that the other party was a disciple of the East Court. When he looked at the other literati, four were from the East Court, the other three were from the South Court, and the last one was from the North Court, but the other party was not from the Yongjia School, so he did not know him.

Zhou Changsheng first raised his hand and bowed, then said, "This is my junior brother, Wu Mian. He is gifted and can see things that ordinary people cannot see. He has also practiced the Four Symbols Protective Method, and the bald man knows it."

Wukong, who was originally staring at Wu Mian, listened to Zhou Changsheng's name and immediately waited for his eyes that were squeezed into slits by the fat on his face: "Zhou Changsheng, try calling me bald again!"

Zhou Changsheng raised his eyebrows, ignored him, and asked the literati: "Where is Commander Huang and Taoist Master Yiyuanzi?"

"Master Yiyuanzi wants to protect the students, and it is difficult to walk away. The gentlemen asked us to cooperate with Commander Huang to investigate clearly. After Commander Huang came here, he didn't know where he went."

Zhou Changsheng frowned slightly and said, "Commander Huang must have found something wrong and went to investigate. Where did you find the traces of the monster?"

"there."

A student from the South School pointed to a direction in the empty plain and said, "There is a monster's mysterious formation there. I have already checked it in. There are no monsters inside. But the time when the mystery formation was laid out should be this morning, so I think there may be monsters hidden nearby."

"Then let's take a look nearby. Maybe it's just a monster passing by. Now when we see our Changshang student see you off, we are so terrified that we are scared and have already escaped."

"I hope so."

After a brief exchange, the students of the eight Changshang Academy dispersed to the plain, leaving only Zhou Changsheng and Wukong, as well as Wu Mian, who listened to their communication but became more and more confused as he listened.

At this time, Wukong spoke.

He frowned and said, "Although the little brother has practiced the Four Symbols' body protection technique, he does not have much cultivation. What do you bring him here? It is not a joke to find a monster. If you are not careful, a person like him who has no cultivation may die!"

Zhou Changsheng said lightly: "A pair of eyes that can see monsters will have more chances of discovering monsters. If the monster has already escaped, it would be fine. If we didn't escape and we didn't discover it, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Wukong was speechless, and then said to Wu Mian: "You will follow us later, don't leave."

Wu Mian nodded heavily and then asked, "How to find a monster?"

"Look, carefully see if there are any unusual things." Zhou Changsheng said: "You are gifted and can see the commander Huang who uses the breath-collecting method, then you will definitely see the monster. The monster you found when you entered school is evidence."

"Can you only see?" Wu Mian blinked: "There is no magic to search for monsters, such as sensing monster energy?"

Wukong smiled and said, "Which book did you see this ridiculous statement? Monsters are not fools, they will deliberately release breath to make people feel it. Their method of concentrating breath is better than that of humans. If not, there would be no monsters in this world that would have been cleaned up long ago. If they released breath to make people feel it, then they must have a purpose... When you entered the city, I was put on a monk like this."

Zhou Changsheng also nodded and said, "The monster is not only good at concentrating breath, but also can change all the time, maybe become a human or a thing. Therefore, when I search for monsters, I can only rely on people who use magic to open their eyes to search with experience. Even if there are treasures like Zhi Jinwu who can directly discover monsters, I dare not say that I can definitely find monsters. Therefore, when I found that you could notice Commander Huang, I called you to come and search for monsters."

Their words gave Wu Mian a deeper understanding of the existence of the monster in an instant.

If you think about it carefully, it is true. Since monsters are as wise as humans and are hostile to humans, how can they emit aura like demonic energy that makes people notice it? Are they impatient to live?

But it is too difficult to just detect with your eyes!

After accompanying Zhou Changsheng and Wukong around the plain for more than half an hour, they still found nothing.

Wukong said: "Maybe it's really just a demon passing by. I've been scared away when you Changshang students marched. You Changshang Academy sees off for juren every three years. Isn't that just for this?"

After a moment of silence, Zhou Changsheng took out a snail shell of the size of a thumb from his arms and pointed it at the screw mouth: "Yongjia Zhou Changsheng. Can you receive the goods? If not, let's go back to Changting and will go back to the city later."

This snail shell is called a homophone, which is used for long-distance communication. Just like a phone call, Zhou Changsheng suddenly changed his expression when he was talking to Wu Mian and turned around and left because someone used a homophone to tell him about the fact that there was a monster nearby. He had been using a homophone to keep in touch with other students who were searching for monsters just now.

After listening to the homonym snail for a while, Zhou Changsheng put it back in his arms and smiled at Wukong and Wu Mian: "They have not received the goods either, let's go back."

Wukong and Wu Mian both nodded, and then the three of them walked towards Changting.

They just searched near the nearby boundary markers and didn't leave much, so it didn't take long to return to Changting, at most cups of tea.

But as they walked, the three of them felt something was wrong.

The Changting and the boundary marker were only three miles away. Although they went deeper into the plain and looked for traces of monsters, they had to check everything carefully in order to find the monsters. There were not many things going deeper. However, after walking back for a while, they did not get close to Changting at all!

The Changting is obviously not far away, and you can even see the students when you look closely, but they just don’t get close to the Changting at all!

After Wukong and Zhou Changsheng looked at each other, they grinned: "We are winning the jackpot!"

"I inform the others, you two should be careful." After Zhou Changsheng said that, he took out the homophone snail and put it on his lips and said, "Yongjia Zhou Changsheng, there is a problem here, about seven miles south of Changting."

After saying that, he put the homophone snail in his ear and listened, but after listening for a moment, he frowned, took back the homophone snail, pulled out the ruler on his waist, and said to Goku with a serious expression: "No reply!"

"Tsk!" After smacking his lips, Wukong took off the rosary beads on his neck, closed his eyes and counted a few, and suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Om Mani Pame Hum!"

The loud shout exploded like a thunderbolt in the clear sky. Wu Mian, who was standing beside him, felt his ears hurt and he unconsciously took two steps back.

Then, he suddenly felt that the scenery in front of him changed. It was still on the plain above, clearly in a dense forest with dense trees, and the noon sun was covered by thick branches and leaves!

He still vaguely remembered that there were plains around Changting, and there were only a few trees that could not be seen at first sight, but now they were in the woods!

"Fenghe Forest." Zhou Changsheng suddenly said: "This is Fenghe Forest in the north of the city!"

North of the city?

Wu Mian couldn't believe it.

They were more than ten miles west of the city, but now they have reached the north of the city. There are at least twenty or thirty miles in between!
