There is a trick

Chapter 76: Eliminate the Nine Yins, Decline the Eight Yangs, and Lock the Seven Natures (33)

Yang Rui nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's right!"

"The strange immortal way is so dangerous and complicated. Just by eliminating the five disadvantages and three deficiencies, can you step into it?" Zhou Chang considered his words and asked again, "I think it will not be easy..."

“Yeah…” Yang Rui felt sympathetic, “The first level of the Weird Immortal achievement is called ‘Nine Yins’, which destroys the six yangs in the body and opens the three yins outside the body, making people almost dead!
After that, there are the realms of "declining the eight yangs", "locking the seven natures", and "destroying the six internal organs"...

Each state is more terrifying than the last...

But I have nothing else to worry about now. I just want to become a 'weird immortal', use weirdness to refine honesty, and ascend to immortality after death.

If I can overcome the five disadvantages and three deficiencies, it will be more beneficial for me to set foot on the strange immortal path..."

The several levels of the strange immortal way mentioned by Yang Rui alone give people a feeling of extreme danger.

This so-called "weird immortal way" is definitely not the glorious and righteous way.

However, Zhou Chang suddenly had a change of mind - in this world full of demons and gods, could any righteous path be born?
All living things in the world survive in the cracks, and this "weird immortal path" might be a path opened up in the cracks.

"Is there really anyone who can use the strange way of immortality to become an immortal after death?" Zhou Chang couldn't help but ask Yang Rui.

Yang Rui was stunned: "I don't know..."

"I don't know... Then why do you have to take this path?"

"Because I have no other way to go." Yang Rui glanced at Zhou Chang, "Most people think that there are many ways before them, but they often find out after trying that most people actually have no way to go.

The same goes for you, Ah Chang, you might end up taking this path in the future..."

Zhou Chang was silent for a moment when he heard the voice.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "Grandpa, Shidanzi saw that you have been hiding in the house and not coming out, and they are very worried about you..."

"You think I've gone crazy and will become a ghost?" Yang Rui smiled indifferently, "The first step of the ghost immortal path is to create a ghost shadow for yourself.

They thought I was a swindler, but they were right about my practice.”

When he said these words, Zhou Chang felt that he was clearly a normal person with a clear mind.

Zhou Chang shook his head and said, "Although this is the case, the situation outside has changed. Everyone is in a state of uncertainty and is extremely nervous. You are actually provoking them by acting like this, sir."

You should behave normally in front of everyone.

Come with me later, and avoid them when you practice in the future."

He had no objection to Yang Rui's practice of the 'Immortal Book'.

The future of himself and even everyone else is still unclear. What does it matter whether Yang Rui finally becomes a ghost or an immortal?
As Yang Rui said, Zhou Chang himself might also take this path in the future.

It might even be right in front of you.

"Ok."

Yang Rui thought about it and finally nodded in agreement.

Zhou Chang then closed his eyes, allowing his wandering thoughts to slowly calm down.

When he opened his eyes again, Uncle Yang, who was facing the mirror, turned around and gave him a knowing smile.

Zhou Chang nodded and called out, "Uncle Yang."

Then, he left the house with Yang Rui.

Asking Uncle Yang to face Grandpa's questioning, Zhou Chang returned to the main room to rest.

……

It rained for a whole day and night, and there was some water on the ground.

In the main room where Zhou Chang lived, a dripping sound could be heard from time to time - this relatively sturdy house slowly began to leak after being drenched in rain for a long time.

Before dawn, Zhou Sanji got up and went to the woodshed to cook porridge and rice.

Nearing the fifth watch, Zhou Chang dressed neatly and walked out of the main room.

Uncle Yang, Bai Xiu'e, Bai's father, and Shi Danzi got up earlier than him. They were all gathered around Zhou Sanji in the woodshed, chatting while setting the table and preparing for breakfast.

Zhou Chang also joined in. Before he could chat with the others, there was a sudden and fierce knocking on the door outside the courtyard.

The noise was so sudden and loud that it interrupted everyone's conversation.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The knocking on the door was still lingering in everyone's ears when a man's angry voice rang out from outside the door: "Get up, get up, get up! It's almost five o'clock, get up and recite the sutras!"

Everyone in the yard looked at each other in surprise when they heard the sound.

Zhou Chang looked at Zhou Sanji and asked, "Grandpa, which neighbor's voice is this?"

"I don't know... I didn't hear it..." Zhou Sanji answered hesitantly.

After the man shouted, the yard became quiet again.

But not long after, there was another knock on the door.

This time, there was the sound of knuckles knocking against the door, and a woman's sharp voice was mixed in with the knocking: "Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou has gotten up at five in the morning to chant sutras, please don't delay your work..."

Zhou Chang looked at Zhou Sanji again.

Zhou Sanji's eyes were blank. This time he didn't recognize the female voice outside the door, and he didn't know which neighbor it was.

Looking at his expression, Zhou Chang's heart moved slightly and he had some ideas.

He walked to the gate, but did not open it. He just stood there like a wooden stake, waiting quietly.

Not long after, there was another knock on the door, and a different male voice called out from outside, reminding the Zhou family to go out at five o'clock in the morning.

As for the male voice, Zhou Sanji was still at a loss. He shook his head and said that he couldn't tell which neighbor the voice came from.

There was a constant knock on the door outside.

Every time, the person who came to remind the Zhou family to get up at five o'clock in the morning to chant scriptures was a different 'person'.

Zhou Chang took advantage of the dim daylight and when there was a knock on the door, he lowered his head to look at the crack below the door - he also did not see any pair of feet standing outside the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

Finally, there was another knock on the door.

When the tender voice of a child outside the door called the Zhou family to get up at five o'clock to chant scriptures, Zhou Chang pulled out the bolt and suddenly opened the door.

"call!"

Outside the door, drizzle splashed into dust and mud, and a light mist filled the streets.

In the fog, there were faint shadowy figures at the doors of each house.

But outside Zhou Chang's courtyard gate, there was no one there.

The child's voice that called on the Zhou family to get up and recite scriptures now stopped abruptly.

A gust of cold air rushed into the yard, making the people waiting at the woodshed feel cold to the bone.

"There are more and more evil things..." Yang Rui said in a low voice, "Today, those invisible evil things called us to get up at five o'clock to chant sutras. Tomorrow... maybe those invisible things will instigate the neighbors to fight and kill each other...

Gui, it comes so fast..."

"Did anyone else hear the knock on the door?" Zhou Sanji glanced at Yang Rui and asked with a frown.

Zhou Chang at the door turned around and said, "Who would know?

Especially - even if we ask them, they will tell us, but can we believe it?"

"..."

"Let's eat!

After dinner, go to Tiekanzhuang quickly!"
