There is a trick

Chapter 94 Coffin Nail (4K, 1/2)

"The Great Wheel of Karma Burning the Body Sutra" is ranked second in the true collection of the Great Heart Elixir Sutra.

In order to practice this method, one must first draw forth great sinful force to burn one's body thoroughly inside and out.

Then you can plant lotus in the fire..."

As Zhou Chang's eyes focused on the cultivation method "The Great Wheel Sutra of Karma Fire Burning the Body", lines of words began to quickly spread out in the field of vision of his left eye.

He first saw the first hurdle in practicing this technique - to incur great karma and burn up his own body, before he could cross the hurdle and officially begin practicing this technique.

The act of inducing great evil power to burn oneself is undoubtedly many times more difficult than the threshold of the "Immortal Book" that Yang Rui needs to fulfill for the five disadvantages and three deficiencies.

The difficulty with the number of five disadvantages and three deficiencies of Dui Qi is that one cannot adapt and one's fate cannot be changed.

Normal people often cannot complete a destiny with five disadvantages and three deficiencies.

But - as long as you are willing to adapt, as long as you allow yourself to become 'abnormal', matching this number will become a lot easier.

Furthermore, in the "Immortal Book" compiled by Yang Rui, there is a method of cultivating eight immortal bodies corresponding to the five disadvantages and three deficiencies.

For Uncle Yang, this hurdle is just a little more complicated, not to mention difficult or dangerous.

The "Great Wheel of Karma Burning the Body Sutra" that Zhou Chang obtained required Zhou Chang to use great karma to burn his body right from the start - not to mention how difficult it would be to rebuild himself after burning, just where would this "great karma" come from?
He is not some evil demon who has killed countless people, nor is he a butcher with thousands of lives on his hands. Where did he get this "great evil power"?
The practice of evil ways is indeed terrifying.

If you want to enter this path and step over the threshold, you will either be destroyed or even experience the near-death experience.

Only in this way can you be qualified to enter.

This first hurdle blocked Zhou Chang.

However, this also made him believe in his heart the authenticity of the so-called second-grade practice of Zhenzang given in the "Dapin Xindan Sutra".

If this sutra wanted to lure him into being deceived, it should have tried to lower the threshold for him to take the bait.

This will create a threshold that is almost impossible for the fish to cross, which will be detrimental to the fish's chance of taking the bait.

However, behind the "Dapin Xindan Jing" may be the aggregation of countless thoughts and ideas. It is a deep-minded person and may have figured out Zhou Chang's character and deliberately kept Zhou Chang in suspense so that it can take its course against him.

Zhou Chang always remained wary of it.

His thoughts turned, communicating with the invisible and intangible scripture: "The second level of practice is this "The Great Wheel of Karma Burning the Body Sutra"? Now it seems that it is not very good.

What is the first-class skill in your collection?
Can you show me one or two?"

"Nonsense, nonsense!"

In the field of vision of Zhou Chang's left eye, every word of the Dapin Xindan Sutra jumped and transformed into a few Chinese characters that Zhou Chang could understand.

It seemed to be angry that Zhou Chang had so much contempt for its sanity and made such an absurd request.

What is the difference between showing the technique to the other party and giving it to the other party directly? !
"Then...can you tell me the title of the book?
It would be good to look at the title of the book." Zhou Chang started bargaining with the book again.

Any information coming from the outside world at this moment is a clue for him to understand this world.

He was hungry for it, whether good or bad.

The words of the "Dapin Xindan Sutra" gradually disappeared from Zhou Chang's sight, and it no longer responded to Zhou Chang's request.

However, Zhou Chang has not given up yet.

His mind moved slightly, and he suddenly discussed with the Great Heart Pill Sutra: "I know you are also looking for a body that suits you. You and I will work together. If you help me more, I may be able to find a suitable body for you.

You are just a collection of many conscious thoughts. Although you have broad knowledge, it is difficult for you to reach into the real world.

If you believe in me, how about I be your hand and foot?

The premise is that you have to trust me.

If you believe me, why don't you tell me the name of the first-class technique in your collection?"

Ever since Zhou Chang observed himself, the Great Heart Pill Sutra has been eagerly listing all kinds of information for him, and proactively providing him with the so-called method of mastering the "聻尸". Later, when this sutra faced the lotus root spirit, it also acted in the same way... All these actions have made Zhou Chang secretly guess in his heart -

This sutra, or some existence behind this sutra, is also looking for a suitable physical body in the human world.

This is just Zhou Chang's guess, and there is no other supporting evidence.

But he had no desire for the "Dapin Xindan Sutra" in the first place. It would be best if he could squeeze some value out of it. If he couldn't, he would not be distracted or frustrated by it.

At present, using my own guesses to test this sutra is also like "trying it three times without seeing any result".

He said so.

The words of the Great Heart Elixir Sutra were still falling and evacuating from his sight in rows and columns.

Each distorted word was shaking and squirming, making Zhou Chang feel as if each distorted word in this scripture was actually an unknown consciousness.

Until the very end, when a few distorted words were about to be wiped out from Zhou Chang's sight, they gathered together in a row and flashed away from Zhou Chang's sight in an instant!
Those few 'moves' of twisting the words were extremely subtle.

It’s just like when we were in school, and a few classmates next to each other were doing radio gymnastics, and suddenly they grabbed each other’s hands and hooked their fingers.

If Zhou Chang had not been extremely careful and observant, he would not have noticed that these distorted words had suddenly come together.

He immediately recognized the meaning of the twisted words: "The Three Gods and Eight Tricks Combined into One!"

"The Three Gods and Eight Tricks Combined into One!"

The first true treasure in the "Dapin Xindan Sutra" should be named "The Great Method of Combining Three Gods and Eight Wonders"!
Judging from the name, could it be that this technique is a way to combine the three secular gods and eight strange creatures into one?
A few distorted words flashed by, and Zhou Chang couldn't guess much information based on just the title of the book.

But he still felt that his biggest gain this time was bargaining with the "Dapin Xindan Sutra" and finding out the name of this first-grade cultivation method!

The name itself is not important, what is important is——

From among the long and distorted texts in the scriptures, he found a few "traitors"!
They found an opportunity and took the initiative to reveal the title of the book to Zhou Chang!
They have demands on Zhou Chang!

Since there is a demand, there will be communication.

Once the relationship gets closer, who can predict what will happen?

Although there are many distorted texts in "Dapin Xindan Jing", the few who betrayed are just a drop in the bucket, but so what?
——A thousand-mile long dam can be destroyed by a single ant hole!

Zhou Chang let the large piece of text disappear from his sight like a tide, and he grinned silently.

……

It was almost dusk when the group set out from home.

However, by the time everyone pushed the coffin and arrived at Tiekanzhuang, it had already become completely dark.

"The road is getting harder and harder..."

Zhou Sanji whispered, "The terrain of Mengshan is not that complicated. This road was trodden by many people in the past, so it is not difficult to walk anywhere... Even so, we walked back and forth here, and with the dog called by Achang to lead the way, we were still nearly an hour slower than before.

For the entire hour, we walked in circles." In the dark, several torches were lit in the team, and several braziers were lit in front of the gate of Tiekan Village in front.

The brazier made the gate of Tiekanzhuang appear dimly visible, and the black paint on several doors glowed slightly in the firelight.

The flames danced all around, and the darkness grew thicker and stickier. The outlines of some human faces were vaguely revealed by the flames.

"The thoughts of the living in this town, the thoughts of the dead, the thoughts of those who have been dormant for hundreds of years, the thoughts of all things... all of these were aroused by the strange rain the day before yesterday." Yang Rui's face was solemn. "We have walked all the way here and burned more than a dozen incense sticks for those passing by, but this still cannot satisfy them...

They still keep trying to get into our bodies.

People like us still have some preventive measures to avoid being infected by the feasting thoughts.

But most other people in the town couldn't guard against it.

The thoughts keep gathering on people, who knows how many ghosts have been raised in this town now?"

Yang Rui's words made everyone feel a chill in their hearts.

Zhou Chang patted the coffin and asked everyone to keep an eye on the corpse in the coffin. He went to knock on the door of Tiekan Charity Cemetery in front. As it got dark, he felt that the corpse in the coffin was becoming more and more restless. The dull sound of patting the coffin continued to be heard from inside, and the cracks at the joints of the coffin gradually widened.

This coffin won't be able to hold the corpse for too long.

Fortunately, there was no rain along the way.

If strange rain continues to fall today and is absorbed by the corpses, things might change!

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

The knock on the door seemed particularly abrupt in the cold and dark.

Not long after the voice was heard, footsteps came closer from behind the door.

The voice of Shanzhi, the monk who had been guarding the charity cemetery for many years and founded the Iron Fence Society, came from behind the door: "Bian Jianzi, can you give me a million?"

Shanzhi started by speaking in underworld jargon to inquire about the outsider's surname.

Zhou Changben didn't understand this either, but fortunately, the leader of the caravan, Wang Tiexiong, told him about it when he left the charity cemetery.

The so-called "Wan'er" here refers to reporting one's surname.

The "Wan" in "Yangmingliwan" refers to the surname.

He could answer fluently now: "It's just a rotten pot."

Zhou is pronounced as "Zhou" which is homophonic to "Congee".

A good pot can be used for frying, stewing and cooking. If you only have a bad pot, you can only use it to cook porridge.

Shanzhi, who was inside the door, heard Zhou Chang's response and exchanged secret signals with Zhou Chang. He then asked, "What's the ending?"

"Bring two sheep." This is the name after the surname. Two sheep means two yangs, and two days means "Chang".

Zhou Chang continued to answer fluently.

After several secret codes like this, a "squeak" sound was heard.

The corner door of the charity cemetery opened a crack. Shanzhi curled up beside the door and saw Zhou Chang outside. Then he opened the side door completely.

Zhou Chang and Shanzhi nodded and waved to their companions behind them.

Shanzhi inside the door removed the threshold, and everyone worked together to push the cart into the charity cemetery.

There was a blazing fire in the yard.

Because something important happened tonight, everyone in the village had no intention of sleeping and just sat around the fire to warm themselves.

When they saw Zhou Chang pushing the coffin in, they immediately made way, opened the door of the main hall, and worked together to move the coffin off the cart and carried it into the main hall.

Most of the coffins that were previously placed in the central hall have now been moved away.

There was only a wooden coffin and a yellow copper coffin left, placed opposite the door.

The wooden coffin was wrapped with hemp ropes as thick as wrists, and each rope was dipped in cinnabar ink.

The lid of the bronze coffin was open.

Zhou Chang knew at a glance that this copper coffin, made of expensive materials, was prepared for the corpse.

"The corpse is in the coffin?"

Yang Xifeng, the leader of the corpse-driving troupe who was carrying the coffin with Zhou Chang, pointed at the coffin in his hand and asked Zhou Chang.

Inside the wooden coffin, the corpse was still banging on it frantically. Every bang caused more cracks on the coffin. Howls filled with resentment and rage continued to come out of the coffin, making people shudder.

"Yes." Zhou Chang nodded, "It seems that this wooden coffin can no longer hold it."

"Move it together with this coffin into the bronze coffin.

We are all ready." Yang Xifeng nodded.

"it is good."

Zhou Chang agreed.

Everyone worked together to carry the wooden coffin into the main room. They shouted slogans, lifted the coffin high above their heads, and then took turns to move the wooden coffin horizontally into the bronze coffin!

The copper coffin is huge and its walls are extremely thick. It is nice to nest this thin-skinned wooden coffin inside it!
"what--"

The corpse roared wildly in the wooden coffin. Its arms were freed from the piercing nails of the coffin, and stretched straight, pushing the coffin lid open little by little - the gap on the coffin lid was getting bigger and bigger!
"Garra! Garra! Garra!"

The entire wooden coffin groaned as if it could not bear the weight!

When the people surrounding the bronze coffin saw this, most of them looked terrified and quietly stepped back a few steps, away from the bronze coffin!

It was Zhou Chang who jumped onto the edge of the bronze coffin at this moment, glanced at everyone, and asked loudly, "Are there any good nails?"

The good nails he needed now were naturally not for wedges in wood.

Instead, they are coffin nails specially used to drive in corpses!

This corpse had been nailed down with coffin nails by Zhou Sanji and his companions before, but they lacked experience and Zhou Sanji was reluctant to use ruthless force. Now, as the corpse struggled frantically, the coffin nails that were wedged into its body had loosened.

Besides, the coffin nails are just mortal objects after all. It is impossible to nail the corpse to death forever!
Zhou Chang cooperated with everyone in Yizhuang to transport the corpse here, with the intention of using the means of everyone in Yizhuang to subdue the corpse!
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xifeng also jumped onto the top of the coffin, facing him head to tail.

The short man Yang Xifeng threw a cloth bag to Zhou Chang. Zhou Chang reached out to catch it, opened it and saw a bundle of copper coffin nails with various tomb guardian beasts engraved on the top!
At the same time, the corpse drivers also gathered around the coffin with various tools!
"There are a total of eighty-one copper coffin nails, which are also good things that have been used by our Northern Zombie Lion Team for many years.

With these nails, we can nail down its muscles and bones, the nine major acupoints, and lock the flow of Qi!" Yang Xifeng looked up at Zhou Chang and said with a smile, "Shall we start now?"
