The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 29: Big Harvest, Secret Book

Tianquan County,
On the road leading to Baisha City.

There were five carriages lined up in a row, moving slowly, and the drivers tried to be as safe as possible.

There were many strong men guarding in front and behind, holding knives and guns and with sharp eyes.

At the front of the convoy, there were two people riding horses, moving forward leisurely.

"Ahei! Ahei! Ahei!"

Wei Jinkui sneezed three loudly in succession, switched the reins to his other hand, and couldn't help rubbing his nose, looking a little puzzled.

"Dad, are you catching a cold?"

Wei Fangjie rode his horse to catch up and asked with concern, but Wei Jinkui felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

"Cold? Me? A martial artist in the Lianzang realm, you said I caught a cold? Hehe, do you think this is possible?"

Wei Fangjie said without hesitation: "What's impossible? I think Uncle Liu's realm is higher than yours. Now he coughs three times every time he takes a step.

So, when you get older, you have to learn to take care of your body."

"He has a lot of hidden injuries, how can he be compared with me? The older you get, the less likable you become!"

Wei Jinkui stared at his son with an unfriendly look, but he seemed to have thought of something and was a little disappointed, and said: "Originally, I went to Husha Mountain this time to find some ways to get you a place.

It's a pity that someone interfered and we spent so much money, but it all came to nothing!"

Wei Fangjie didn't seem to care: "If you don't want to go, then don't go. You have to believe in your son's talent. Even if he doesn't enter the Tiger Demon Pavilion, I still have my own place.

At that time, it won’t be me who enters the Tiger Demon Pavilion, but the Tiger Demon Pavilion will invite me to join.”

"hehe!"

Wei Jinkui forced a smile, but couldn't help but say: "You don't understand, you don't understand, the road of martial arts is not that simple, if you can't find the meridian-opening technique, your life will end at the stage of practicing internal organs.

Moreover, what the sect has is not just unique skills, but also many resources and precious medicines that are not accessible to outsiders.

Otherwise, why do you think so many noble families have to send people to the sect?"

Wei Fangjie was also somewhat helpless: "But the rules of the Tiger Demon Pavilion are there. The inner sect quota is really precious. Without a strong relationship, who would give it to me?"

"What if we start from the outer gate?"

"If the days of being a slave are all beginning from the outer sect, why should I go to the Tiger Demon Pavilion?"

Wei Jinkui shook his head, looking somewhat depressed: "Fang Jie, I feel so guilty about this matter!"

"What's the big deal? Even if I can't go to the Tiger Demon Pavilion, I can still cultivate to the Lianzang realm by following my father, and I will be one of the best masters in Baisha City."

"Baisha City is too small. After all, we are just a frog in a well. Sigh..."

As Wei Jinkui said this, he suddenly felt his nose itching again.

"Ahei! Ahei! Ahei!"

After three loud sneezes, Wei Fangjie couldn't help it: "Dad, you still said you didn't catch a cold?"

Wei Jinkui was also dumbfounded. He carefully felt the surging of blood and energy in his body, and the flow of strength, and said in surprise: "It doesn't look like I caught a cold!
Could it be that someone is missing me?"

Wei Fangjie: “…”

How dare you say that!

……

Xuanzhen concept,
Jingle, jingle, jingle!
"Hey yo hey yo! Hey yo hey yo!"

"Slow down, slow down, handle it with care, okay?"

"The people behind, the foundation must be laid firmly. The Taoist priests pay us a lot of money, so we have to do a good job."

A dark-skinned master chef was giving orders in a loud voice, and from time to time, he would lend a hand everywhere.

At this time, Xuanzhen Temple had become a huge construction site, with at least forty or fifty people working at the same time, and it was extremely busy.

These people were all hired by Fan Zhong. They were famous stonemasons, carpenters and bricklayers in Baisha City.

What needs to be done is not only to repair the damaged halls and houses, but also to renovate the entire Xuanzhen Temple.

In addition, after walking around for a while, Chu Zhou decided to expand the project.

In the backyard, three large tiled houses were built, and the surrounding walls had to be raised one centimeter.

After this night attack, Chu Zhou didn’t want to have a second one, so he wanted to take advantage of this expansion to make some changes.

Of course, such a big move would cost a huge amount of money, and the surplus from Xuanzhen Temple would not be enough.

However, after a battle and searching so many corpses, there are still quite a few gains.

After sending away a group of detectives, the first thing Xu Cheng, Yi Huai and Fan Tiehu did was to show off to Chu Zhou what they had found when they searched the corpse last night.

Logically speaking, a group of men in black are going to do bad things and should not take much belongings with them, but the reality is not like that.

Almost everyone in this mob contributed between two and five taels of silver, and the leader had more than thirty taels of silver on him. All in all, he contributed a hundred taels of silver.

These are probably the rewards for the murder and robbery.

The leader knew that he didn't have any powerful people under him, so he used money as an incentive. But now, they have all become the spoils of Xuanzhen Temple!
Of course, this is nothing, because the real big boss is never these minions.

The mad tiger man and the scarred swordsman didn't have much money on them and were extremely poor, but they each had a book on martial arts.

"Tiger Fist" comes from that crazy tiger man. It is an incomplete middle-grade martial art, which includes standing exercises, training methods, fighting methods, and killing moves.

That killer move, 'Tiger Roaring in the Forest', is a very special sonic skill.

Why is it said to be incomplete?
It is because the part about training the internal organs was torn out, and because of the lack of this part, using that killing move would be equivalent to damaging the internal organs.

You get hurt every time you use it, and if you use it too much, you will become useless.

From this perspective, there was a reason why Crazy Tiger had to consult with Scar Swordsman before using his killing move.

This killer move can really take lives!

Of course, being incomplete doesn’t mean it’s useless. Chu Zhou has some dirty training methods and doesn’t care much about them. On the contrary, some of them are quite to Chu Zhou’s liking.

With reference to the secret manual, he was able to modify the Seven Moves of the Wandering Dragon, thereby exercising more small muscle groups and infrequently used bone fascia, making the body tempering more complete.

As for the scarred swordsman, what he got was a pure sword technique called "Crescent Moon Sword".

This sword technique has no grade or level, and does not involve any training or practice. It was created purely for the purpose of killing people.

It's about a sword that comes out like a crescent moon in the sky. It looks ordinary, but what it requires is speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.

There is also a killer move called "Sword Without Trace", which has some meaning of drawing a sword and slashing. It is achieved through thousands of times of training to achieve a sword-drawing speed that is as fast as a meteor and leaves no trace.

To use the words in the secret manual, success can be achieved when the sword is drawn and sheathed without the enemy feeling any pain.

Honestly speaking, this sword technique is not that sophisticated, because the principles behind it are very simple and do not involve any profound sword theory.

But Chu Zhou thought this was good, because it was suitable for beginners. It would be a good way to practice the introductory swordsmanship at Xuanzhen Temple.

As for the County Magistrate, Mr. Xue, he is such a good-for-nothing that the only thing he can contribute is silver, or to be more precise, silver notes!
No one knew what he was thinking, but he actually had ten silver notes of one hundred taels on him, which were taken away by Chu Zhou.

Then there were the fifty taels of gold. Just from these, the income for that night reached a staggering one thousand six hundred or seventeen hundred taels of silver.

It was also with this money that Chu Zhou had the confidence to completely renovate Xuanzhen Temple.

In addition, a talisman was found on each of the two men. It was charred black and looked like dragon scales. It looked inconspicuous, but when held in the hand, it felt like an electric shock and caused paralysis.

This is a wooden talisman struck by lightning.

Chu Zhou only took a glance and knew that this thing had a great inhibitory effect on evil spirits. It must have been specially prepared to restrain evil spirits.

Of course, what really moved Chu Zhou was not these, but what he looted from the ragged Taoist priest.

There was also no silver or money, but instead there was a large pile of various materials, such as yellow talismans, glutinous rice, incense coins, and three wooden talismans that were struck by lightning.

What really impressed Chu Zhou was a secret technique and a martial arts secret book.

That secret technique is the "Five Ghosts Moving Things", and it is also written on a piece of animal skin. Judging from the words and writing style, it is almost identical to the "Ghost Technique".

Only then did Chu Zhou feel that what the tattered Taoist said, that the two secret techniques came from the same source, was indeed possible.

However, to be honest, the shabby Taoist is much better than the old Taoist Xuanzhen.

This is because what was wrapped around "Five Ghosts Moving" was a silk book, which contained not only the Taoist's experience in cultivation, but also many aspects that had been improved by him, making it unrecognizable.

The technique of "Five Ghosts Moving" is more troublesome than the technique of "Ghosts" at the beginning of practice, because one has to choose children born on an unlucky day and a lucky month, and they have to drown in water, in order to obtain a ghost baby.

If the ghost's minions can be chosen from the corpses in the tiger's mouth, then the ghost baby must have committed sins on its own, and there must be five of them.

There is not much to say about the above, and the changes made by the Taoist Priest Paola to "Five Ghosts Moving Things" are mainly in two aspects.

Firstly, the previous “Five Ghosts Moving” could only be used for stealing. Although it was effective, it had great limitations.

The tattered Taoist priest used yellow paper as his shadow and blood as a medium to achieve his own instant movement, with extraordinary results.

He could even fly for a short period of time with the support of the Five Ghosts.

Although it is not very useful in actual combat and is too slow, it can really scare people.

Secondly, the way the Five Ghosts are captured is also to enter the body, so naturally the consumption of Qi and blood is just as serious.

Therefore, the problem faced by Taoist Priest Raggedy was the same as that faced by Taoist Priest Xuanzhen, but the reason why he dared to use the secret technique unscrupulously was because he had researched out a prescription.

This prescription does not focus on replenishing blood and invigorating qi, but it is very effective in stimulating bone marrow hematopoiesis. The only drawback is that the medicinal materials are too precious and it costs a lot of money to use.

Therefore, the ragged Taoist priest was also a notoriously poor fellow, with his pockets much cleaner than his face, and his two martial servants were not much better!

Honestly speaking, this secret technique is pure useless to Chu Zhou, he even dislikes collecting it.

Well, it seems that he has been influenced by the White-haired Immortal’s characteristics. He doesn’t like these secret techniques very much.

In comparison, the martial arts book obtained from the ragged Taoist priest was Chu Zhou's biggest gain this time.

"Vajra Leg" is said to be a martial art originated from a certain Buddhist Zen sect. Although it is also a mid-level sequence, it is one level higher than "The Angry Dragon Turns the River Hand".

Because, in addition to the complete method of training the internal organs, there are also subsequent methods of practicing to the Tongmai realm.

　I’m in a hurry, so I’ll post it first!
