There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 79: The lowest class of occupations in ancient times...cooking
Of course, the fact is not that there is surveillance or satellite positioning.

The cause was that someone from the Demon Suppression Division received a report from Zhang Wei, claiming that there was a ghost. Li Hao happened to be nearby at the time, so he came over to confirm the situation. Other extraordinary people will be responsible for this matter later.

Li Hao was also slightly stunned when he saw Lu Yue.

But it is no longer surprising that Lu Yue always appears at supernatural scenes.

There was no need for much words between the two of them; just a glance was enough to show them what they meant.

"Stinky tofu...stolen corpse, brine..." When Lu Yue expressed his guess, Li Hao's words revealed unspeakable disgust and shock. Such means were so vicious and outrageous.

After helping the injured into the ambulance, Li Hao started the next procedure.

Enter the ghost's corpse to explore some scenes of its life.

In order to avoid any accidents, Li Hao asked Lu Yue to protect him.

Since there was nothing to do in the second half of the night, Lu Yue agreed.

This protection lasted for half an hour.

Until Li Hao's soul returned to his body, his face looked solemn, as if he had seen some incredible scene before the old man passed away.

"You are right. He is indeed a corpse carrier, but he was poisoned and died long before. He ate something he shouldn't have eaten and turned into a corpse ghost."

"It is a kind of half-human, half-ghost."

"Poisoned?" Lu Yue was surprised by the first sentence.

How can a person with extraordinary physical fitness get poisoned?

According to Lu Yue's estimation, although killing the opponent only obtained a wisp of source energy, from the process of fighting he could feel that the opponent was most likely at the second level of the Divine Hidden Realm.

Moreover, the use of abilities by this type of second-generation superhumans is not comparable to that of the new generation of superhumans. If they really encounter a situation where they are defeated, they still have a chance to escape.

"The recent theft of corpses in Taicheng is related to it, but it is not the real mastermind. There is someone behind it who is controlling everything, and that is the person who poisoned it."

"Do you know the lowest class of occupations in ancient times?" Li Hao suddenly asked, and without waiting for Lu Yue to react, he continued to explain himself.

"In ancient times, the occupations referred to by the lower nine classes varied according to historical periods and regional cultures, but can be roughly summarized as some industries that are generally considered to have a lower status in society or are engaged in certain special affairs."

"I heard from the old people that in some areas, there are three kinds of professions that belong to the lowest class: cooks, barbers, and opera singers..."

"Among them, there is a special profession."

"That's the cook."

What Li Hao said next surprised Lu Yue a little.

Food is the most important thing for people. People need to eat to survive.

What about the ghost?
There are huge differences between the north and the south, and various types of cuisines emerge one after another.

Why can living people enjoy delicious food, but can only smell the taste in the mouths of ghosts? And this smell is merely a means for those ghosts to take revenge on humans for enjoying delicious food, and it cannot fundamentally solve the problem of ghosts eating.

There are very few types of food for them.

Among them, the more common ones are special items such as incense.

Whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, or some other professions.

There are precedents of using incense to worship and enshrine ghosts.

But this does not mean that ghosts can often eat this thing.

In ancient times, unlike today, the price of incense that truly had special powers was very high. Even those cheap and crudely made incense could not be mass-produced due to limited technological levels.

This is also the reason why, in some folk rumors, most lonely ghosts often steal incense from other graves.

Because they are hungry!
When people are extremely hungry, they will chew on tree bark.

There have even been cases of cannibalism in history.

This is true for humans, and it is even worse for ghosts.

Apart from some resentful ghosts with strong obsession with revenge, the reason why most ghosts harm people is simply to satisfy their appetite by relying on the yang energy and flesh and blood of living people.

Because it is rare compared to incense.

In ancient times, living people were the most abundant source of food.

As a result, a profession specializing in cooking for ghosts was derived.

Ghost chef.

After research, experiments, and preparation... we create food that ghosts like.

Of course, as modern extraordinary people who have entered the global information age, it is clear that this is actually a kind of extraordinary person with special abilities.

But people in ancient times did not think so.

Lu Yue pondered and said, "You mean the cook is behind this?"

"That's right. The ruins of Taicheng are about to be opened. It's not just ordinary supernatural beings that are attracted behind the scenes, but also those corrupted evil supernatural beings. Some of them not only make ghost food, but also use it on living people."

"They are lucky. They ate it in a short time. If they waited until the ghost food was completely absorbed into their bodies, they would not only die, but also turn into corpse ghosts."

At this time, Lu Yue also understood why the other party only had a wisp of source energy.

As far as ghosts are concerned, when Li Hao first came into contact with the circle of supernatural beings, he explained that not everyone can become a ghost after death.

The conditions are very harsh. Sometimes, even if the external hard conditions are met, ghosts still cannot be formed. The reason is that it involves the issue of compatibility.

For example, the disabled woman that Lu Yue met at the beginning was murdered during her lifetime, so she must have been full of negative emotions, but her compatibility with supernatural factors was not high, so she could not form a ghost.

Compatibility is a more official term.

It is also called qualification, fate and so on in the folks.

Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it.

This old corpse carrier did not meet the conditions to become a ghost or was simply unable to become a ghost, but was artificially induced to eat ghost food and forcibly transformed into a corpse ghost.

The same is true for those half-human, half-ghost creatures in the money and drug incident.

It's like farmed chickens and free-range chickens that are sold out after 15 days.

The nutritional value is definitely different.

For ghosts, the gap is even greater.

Naturally, the amount of source energy obtained is less.

Moreover, this kind of ghosts that are created do not have the ability to grow.

After listening to this, Lu Yue fell into deep thought.

As the ruins approached their opening, undercurrents surged.

All the evil spirits began to become restless.

The old corpse carrier was obviously just a victim.

No ghost food can be made overnight. It requires a lot of research and experimentation to find ghost food tailored for ghosts.

And now, the cook has gone astray.

The food produced is ghost food for living people and even extraordinary beings.

As for the purpose...I'm afraid it's to prepare for the ruins.

Lu Yue suddenly remembered a joke circulating on the Internet.

My neighbor hoards grain and I hoard guns. My neighbor is my granary.

Instead of looking for opportunities, it is better to focus on those extraordinary people who find opportunities.

There is nothing wrong with ability, it just depends on how the extraordinary person uses it.

Next, Li Hao hurriedly left with the corpse. This matter involved an evil supernatural being. Unlike ghosts, the impact caused by the crimes committed by supernatural beings was no less than that of supernatural events, or even worse.

Two hours later, Lu Yue took the patrol car that came behind him and returned to the community.

The storm is brewing, and the opening of the ruins is destined to bring unrest to Taicheng for a long time in the future.

When Lu Yue inserted the key and opened the door, he could not see Zhang Yaling.

When I opened the body bag, I found only the security bear I had just bought during the day.

At this point I guess he has to go out to work and earn money to pay off his debts.

Zhang Yaling likes to eat and drink, and is it because as a ghost, she chooses this way to fill her stomach in order not to hurt people?

But what Zhang Yaling eats is real, ordinary food.

Lu Yue was a little confused. He looked around and found a dog-beating stick on the table. In addition, there was some food, which were exactly the ones Zhang Yaling had packed earlier.

There was also a note next to it.

"Rice, heat it up, eat it."

Lu Yue: “…”

In no time, Lu Yue finished his midnight snack, picked up the dog-beating stick and went into the bedroom.

The next step is to verify the practice efficiency of this thing.

The 18 Dragon Subduing Palms - Dragon's Roar Scripture (Second Edition)

Lu Yue has already memorized all the postures and mental methods in these secret manuals.

There is no need to flip through the book, just pick it up directly.

After half an hour.

A reminder sounded in Lu Yue’s mind.

[Golden Dragon Development +4, Dragon Roar +4...Illusion Breaking +4]

Lu Yue was shocked.

You should know that normal practice of the second version will only increase each attribute by 2 points.

Now that’s… double the improvement.

It is much higher than the homeless sanctuary.

But after a little thought, Lu Yue understood everything.

The Dog Beating Stick is one of the iconic weapons of the Beggars' Gang. It is not only a token of the gang leader, but also a symbol of the gang's power and status. It also carries the gang's martial arts heritage and spirit.

It makes sense that using this thing to practice the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms would double the efficiency.

At this moment Lu Yue suddenly realized something.

The Beggars' Sect's iconic weapon is not just the dog-beating stick.

There are also beggar clothes and begging bowls...

and many more!

If I collect these things myself, wouldn’t I become a beggar?

Lu Yue had a toothache.

But on second thought, as long as I collect the relevant artifacts, I can turn my home into a holy place.

Wherever you are, that is the holy place for practice. There is no need to limit yourself to one place.

And if this is the case with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, then the same must be true for other martial arts as well.

Lu Yue thought quickly and went to the kitchen and broke a bowl.

But the brain power was not triggered.

Obviously, this trick is not feasible.

We still have to find something that is related to the Beggars' Sect and has historical background.

Lu Yue began to concentrate on practicing "The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms - Dragon's Roar Sutra - Second Edition".

He planned to test the limits of the second version.

In the next few days, Lu Yue made up his mind.

During the day, he practiced at home using a dog-beating stick. At night, he secretly ran under the overpass and transformed himself into a homeless man to cooperate with the practice in the holy place.

A week later.

Besides eating, it’s all about practicing!
Lu Yue was able to isolate himself from the world, truly living in seclusion.

Finally... I reached the bottleneck of "The Second Edition of Dragon Roar Sutra".

The number of golden dragons also reached three.

And they are all complete.

If you want to make another breakthrough, you have to improve the quality of your skills.

However, for a long time in the future, although the second edition of the Dragon Roar Sutra has been discontinued, the three golden dragons can still be used to temper the body.

On this day, Lu Yue, who had just finished his training, took out his cell phone.

I casually read some nearby news and chatted with Guo Tao and others.

To make up for the information gap caused by the isolation in the past few days.

Taicheng is the same as usual, but the activities of the extraordinary people have increased.

Thinking of what happened to the old corpse carrier a few days ago, everything seemed to be urgency.

The strength must be improved again.

Specialize in one subject first, and then study the other after you have made a breakthrough in that subject.

Lu Yue looked at the time and decided that today was the day to go to the Taoist temple to practice.

After a little thought, Lu Yue decided to break through the "Wudang Thirty-Six Skills Innate Charging Station" to the next level first.

For now, I can only sit quietly to recover from my injuries. If I really get into danger, the enemy will not give me time to meditate and recover.

There are only sixty-four strands of source energy in my mind.

Lu Yue gritted his teeth and consumed forty strands.

Direct deduction, then two in one.

The "Ultimate Edition of Wudang Thirty-Six Innate Charging Stations" emerged.

Finally, this technique has been pushed to its limit.

After memorizing it by heart, Lu Yue picked up the torn patchwork clothes and took the lotus leaf that no one else could see.

I think with Master Fang's strength, he should be able to see this thing clearly.

Lu Yue did not stop a car and go directly to Qingxu Taoist Temple.

Instead, he asked Li Hao and others where to buy tea nearby.

The last time I went to practice by myself, Master Fang treated me to some pastries.

Reciprocity.

It would be a bit unkind to go there empty-handed.

After much deliberation, Lu Yue finally decided to invite Taoist Fang for tea.
