Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 441: Prince, can you fight?

The Plum Blossom Taoist passed down four methods.

Soul, corpse, killing, and crossing.

They are the coroner's record of clearing wrongdoings, the corpse-suturing clerk's record of dissecting corpses, the executioner's soul-breaking knife, and the paper-making technique of the paper-making maker.

It can be said that these four skills were not invented by him, but it was after his improvements that they formed a complete system and rules, which were later called the Four Yin Practices.

This Record of Clearing Wrongs contains a set of methods for soul cultivation.

There are three levels in total, namely, soul purification, rebirth, and body shaping.

Soul Purification: Remove impurities from one's own soul, making it pure and flawless.

Xiao Ran could understand this step.

But the subsequent return to the womb was very strange.

Trace back to the soul and fetus, seize the opportunity of yin and yang, swallow the nature to nourish life, and reverse the primordial spirit.

This touches on Xiao Ran's blind spot.

As for the third step, it is completely a heavenly book.

It controls the changes of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and covers the numbers of the Zhoutian and the universe.

The sky sends murderous intentions, and the stars change places.

The earth emits murderous intent, dragons and snakes rise from the land.

Human beings are murderous, and heaven and earth are in turmoil.

Heaven and man work together to establish the foundation for all changes. There are clever and clumsy people, and they can be hidden...

Xiao Ran was confused and finally gave up watching.

It's hard to understand. This thing looks like some kind of Taoist scripture, completely different from the previous techniques.

The other three doors are either sword techniques or magic techniques. They teach you step by step how to do it and how to perform each step. You just need to learn from them.

It's nothing more than proficiency or not.

But the name and content of "Record of Clearing Wrongs" are completely different. Xiao Ran originally thought it was a technique, but it turned out to be all theoretical knowledge.

That is the first level, which I can still understand, and it comes with graphics and methods of cultivation.

After that, Xiao Ran started to feel confused.

"Do you want me to kill a Taoist priest?"

Xiao Ran thought about it and thought that this was a good idea. He could kill a Taoist priest and take away his karma. He thought that he would soon understand the mystery.

Putting away the book, Xiao Ran looked at Gao Yuting who was sleeping soundly. Seeing this girl pouting her little mouth while sleeping, she looked so cute and harmless, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

He simply sat aside and tried to learn the first level of soul cultivation method from Xiyuanlu.

This method is very simple. Just sit cross-legged, empty your mind, recite scriptures silently, and breathe along with the special bytes in the scriptures.

He didn't feel anything at the beginning, but gradually as time went by, Xiao Ran vaguely felt that some things were beginning to be peeled away from his body.

It was very faint and disappeared before I had time to savor it.

Unconsciously, and without knowing how much time had passed, when Xiao Ran opened his eyes again, he was the only one on the bed.

Xiao Ran's eyes flickered, as bright as a deep star, captivating people.

The vision instantly became clearer and sharper.

There seems to be a special power in his eyes that can see through nothingness.

As soon as Xiao Ran looked up at the room, he saw Gao Yuting's faint shadow appear in the room, showing Xiao Ran every move of Gao Yuting in the room since she woke up.

It was not until Xiao Ran felt his eyes a little tired and blinked that the shadow slowly disappeared.

"I see. No wonder it's called the Record of Clearing Wrongs."

Xiao Ran suddenly realized that the reason why there was no magic in "The Record of Clearing Wrongs" was actually a set of cultivation methods for cultivating the soul. It turned out that all the magic was in the eyes.

It is said that eyes are the windows to the soul, and this is true.

For ordinary people, the purer their soul is, the more flawless and bright their eyes will be.

Xiao Ran was born with spiritual eyes that could see ghosts. After practicing soul arts, the unactivated magical powers of his eyes were activated.

Ability to look back into the past.

Although the time is short, if you persist in practicing, as your soul becomes stronger, the time of retrospection will gradually increase.

If this happens to a coroner, no case will escape his eyes. Although he cannot directly participate in the case, he can play a decisive role in the entire case.

Xiao Ran collected his thoughts and was about to leave the room when Gao Yuting came in from outside. Seeing that Xiao Ran had woken up, she smiled and said, "You finally woke up."

“Have I been meditating for a long time?”

"Just two days."

The medicines in Li Jie's palace are really good. Gao Yuting's internal injuries have stabilized in the past two days, and her face has regained color.

"It's been so long. I thought it was just one night."

Gao Yuting suddenly put her face in front of Xiao Ran, and looked at Xiao Ran's face carefully with her bright big eyes, which made Xiao Ran feel a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong? Did I not wash my face?"

"I've noticed that you've become more and more mysterious recently. It seems that after returning from Mount Xitai, you've developed an indescribable feeling. Sometimes even I feel a little awed."

"Silly, what are you talking about? Others are afraid of me, but are you afraid of me?"

As Xiao Ran spoke of the dirty hands he started to act naughty.

Gao Yuting blushed, slapped Xiao Ran's claws away, and glared at him angrily: "Go away, it's broad daylight."

"Then wait until tonight. I recently learned a new skill, the tongue-tip swearing."

"You write wildly on the tip of your tongue? You brag without thinking. Your crooked handwriting looks like a bunch of weeds."

"Hey, you'll know tonight."

Xiao Ran smiled without saying anything, without further explanation, intending to show off his power tonight.

The two of them sat on the bed, cuddling with each other, hugging each other without doing anything, clasping hands, touching thighs. If the second in command hadn't knocked on the door at an inopportune time, the two of them could have stayed like this for the whole day. "Bang! Bang!"

The second in command knocked on the door, and the two had to end this happy time that only young lovers could understand.

When the second in command pushed open the door and stuck his head out, he saw that Xiao Ran had woken up, and hurriedly said, "Sir, the prince wants to invite us to Hongbin Tower today, saying that it is the most lively place. Shall we go?"

Ever since the second in command put on eunuch's clothes and followed Li Jie to play the role of a eunuch, he has been speaking in a low voice.

Not to mention, apart from being a little ugly, they are basically no different from eunuchs.

After that, he walked to Xiao Ran and whispered, "It is rumored that the Zou family is the big boss of Hongbinlou. Those kidnapped children may be able to find clues here."

"The Zou family, Huaxue Temple, and that dog emperor..."

These names flashed through Xiao Ran's mind, and a cold look appeared in his eyes. Then he and Gao Yuting changed their clothes and went to the main hall.

Li Jie had already prepared the carriage. After Xiao Ran and the others arrived, they got on the carriage and headed straight to Hongbin Tower.

Because there were too many people in Hongbin Tower, Li Jie did not bring Eunuch Li with him.

Even though Eunuch Li's body would no longer decay after being transformed into a corpse slave, he still had the smell of death on him.

"You two, the Zou family is the local boss in Chang'an after all, so be careful and don't alert them. All I can do is to cover for you two, but I can't do anything more."

On the way, Li Jie began to give Xiao Ran and the other two some preventive measures.

I'm afraid that the two of them will suddenly start fighting without any care, and then they will just run away, and I'll be in trouble.

"Don't worry, we are not just dealing with the Zou family, so if we take action, we will definitely not implicate you."

After getting Xiao Ran's assurance, Li Jie's heart suddenly felt much more at ease.

The streets of Chang'an City are bustling with traffic and the Hongbin Tower is also a local attraction.

The six-story restaurant offers a panoramic view of the entire Chang'an city. This alone has attracted the attention of countless scholars and men of letters.

Li Bai, Du Pu and others wrote poems here one after another.

The walls are covered with noun classics.

Of course, in addition to this, the most talked about thing is the food at Hongbinlou recently.

I don’t know when it started, but the taste and style of Hongbinlou’s food suddenly changed.

Not only is the taste beyond your expectation, it also leaves you with an endless aftertaste. It is said that everyone who has eaten it says they will never forget the taste.

It is also widely rumored that Hongbinlou has a special dish that is limited to 30 servings per day.

After eating it, one will feel like an immortal.

This made the nobles in Chang'an City rush to come to Hongbin Tower and spend huge sums of money to taste this delicacy.

Li Jie just came back and heard the news. He was inspired to come here to taste the delicious food. As for Xiao Ran and the others' affairs, for Li Jie, as long as they don't get involved, you can do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the bottom of Hongbin Building, Xiao Ran and others got off the carriage.

Looking up, I saw the magnificent six-story restaurant in front of me.

In this era without nails, cement and steel bars, the scale and difficulty of building a restaurant like this are extremely large.

It's not just the difficulty of construction, but there are many problems in the later stages.

Xiao Ran noticed that Wuhoupu was right next to the restaurant.

The only thing I'm afraid of is that this thing might catch fire. Once the fire spreads, it's basically difficult to put out.

If the passengers on the sixth floor did not have the ability to perform Qinggong, they would have fallen to their death.

This is also one of the reasons why there were many high-rise pagodas in ancient times, but very few restaurants and hotels.

"Let's go. I've already booked a first-class box."

Li Jie raised his head. Since returning to Chang'an, he seemed to have found his confidence again, and he spoke with more confidence.

After all, this is my home.

When everyone walked into the restaurant, they saw that it was surrounded by colorful silks and lanterns hanging high. The restaurant was arranged in the shape of a tic-tac-toe, with a hollow stage in the middle, and the top was made of mother-of-pearl polished into glass and installed on the roof.

There is plenty of light no matter day or night.

This is a bit like the style of a modern shopping mall, but it is slightly smaller than a shopping mall.

The bottom three floors are where guests dine, and the fourth floor is the private rooms.

The fifth and sixth floors above are generally not open to the public.

"Hey, isn't this the little prince? I heard that you went out some time ago, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon?"

As soon as everyone walked into the door, a middle-aged man with fair skin came towards them.

Xiao Ran and Gao Yuting looked at each other. Before the man came close, they could smell a strong smell of blood on him.

Obviously, this person also practiced the Blood Transformation Sutra, and his level of practice was several levels higher than Li Jie's.

"So it's yours. Humph, I don't need to report my whereabouts to you. Why should you worry about it?"

When Li Jie saw the middle-aged man, he snorted coldly. The other party was the eldest son of Duke Wang Guo, Wang Luzhong. The two of them did not get along well on weekdays. Today, they were enemies and they did not expect to meet here.

Li Jie was about to leave after he finished speaking, but Wang Luzhong glanced at him, noticed the change in Li Jie's face and complexion, and reached out to pat Li Jie's shoulder.

It seemed like a casual slap, but there was blood in his palm. He was trying to take the opportunity to test Li Jie's situation.

Just as the slap was about to fall, Xiao Ran raised his hand and grabbed the other person's wrist.

"Ok??"

Wang Luzhong was stunned when he saw this, and an angry look appeared on his face: "How dare you!" He was about to break free from Xiao Ran's hand, but he didn't expect that his effort made it even harder to break free. Xiao Ran's big hand was tightly wrapped around his wrist like an iron hoop, and no matter how he struggled, he could not get any movement.

After all, the crushing power of fifty points of strength is no joke.

Xiao Ran ignored Wang Luzhong and turned to look at Li Jie: "Prince, can you fight?"

Li Jie was delighted when he heard this. He didn't expect that Xiao Ran would be able to do such a good thing. His eyes narrowed into crescents: "Just don't kill me if you can fight me."

"okay!"

As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, he kicked Wang Luzhong fiercely...
