One Person: I, the Dragon Tiger Stall King! I Won!

11: A blind man sets up a stall, and thunder comes from the ground?It was the Hour of the Rat, and all was silent.

Inside and outside the woodshed, a deathly silence was enveloped by an impenetrable ink-like darkness.

Zhang Xuanyi sat cross-legged before the pile of tattered rags, his eyes empty and vacant, his vision filled only with an eternal darkness.

However, his ears, like the most alert hunting dog, trembled slightly, capturing every subtle flow of air with a profound qi-sense.

The calamity of blindness brought by the system had deprived him of his sight, but it seemed to have honed his other senses to their extreme.

The cloth surface of the Myriad Laws Street Stall beneath him was continuously heating up; the temperature was not a lifeless scorching heat, but a vibrant rhythm, one beat after another, like the heartbeat of a sleeping giant, transmitting through the fabric to his skin.

He recalled his master’s teachings.

The scruffy old Daoist priest once held a wine gourd and pointed at the fallen leaves in the wind, saying, ”Xuanyi, close your eyes, and the wind will tell you where the leaves come from and where they are going.” This was the method of ”listening to the wind to discern position,” the foundation for Daoist cultivators entering the gate.

But at this moment, what he felt was far more than just the wind.

A sentence from the ”dragon and tiger records” quietly surfaced in his mind: ”The Earth Veins have a sound, and the wind can carry talismans.”

Earth Veins... have a sound?

Zhang Xuanyi’s heart stirred, and he suddenly extended his right hand, fingers splayed, gently pressing them onto the ground in front of him.

Where his fingertips touched, it was cold, hard, and covered with gravel.

But beneath this deathly silence, an extremely faint yet highly rhythmic tremor, silently and imperceptibly, drilled into his perception along his finger bones!

It was here!

His heart pounded; this leveled ruin was precisely the former site of the once-flourishing Wanfa Pavilion from three hundred years ago!

And the source of this tremor must be the remnant of the talisman array set up by the patriarchs back then to suppress some monstrous demon!

Years had passed, and the world had changed; the talisman array had long since collapsed, but that wisp of undying array intent still lingered like a thread deep underground!

Just as his mind was immersed in the rhythm of the Earth Veins, an extreme sense of danger suddenly erupted from above his head!

The night wind was violently torn by an invisible wall of qi, and a figure, like a ghost, stepped through the air, silently, yet carrying a terrifying, world-dominating pressure.

The one who arrived was Li Wujiu!

He hovered in mid-air, the moonlight outlining his cold face, and in his palm, an ominous inverted Eight Trigrams pattern slowly rotated, devouring the surrounding light.

”Since you are blind, you need not see this turbid world anymore.”

The cold voice carried no emotion, as if a deity was pronouncing the final judgment on a mortal.

Before he finished speaking, the inverted Eight Trigrams in his palm suddenly vibrated, and three pitch-black Law-Breaking Talisman Seals instantly formed, like three death arrows shot from a bow, trailing a shriek that tore through the night sky, descending from above, heading straight for Zhang Xuanyi’s head!

Wherever these three talisman seals passed, the air itself twisted, and the power of law-breaking contained within them was enough to instantly annihilate all protective spells of an ordinary cultivator!

A moment of life and death!

However, facing this certain-kill strike, Zhang Xuanyi did not move an inch.

He seemed completely unaware of the death threat above his head, only moving with extreme speed, like lightning, to stick the last piece of photocopy yellow paper onto the base of the broken ancient bell beside him!

He roared in his heart: ”Copy — Purifying and Calming Talisman!”

Buzz!

The yellow paper flickered with a faint light, and a complex rune was instantly branded upon it, merging with the subtle Zen essence of the ancient bell.

Almost at the same time, he flipped his left hand and slammed the second blank yellow paper, already prepared, onto the ground, precisely at the point where the Earth Vein tremor was most intense!

”Virtual and Real Dual Shadow Array, activate!”

A low roar, from the depths of his being!
