Chapter 39

"I've heard a little bit about it." Ji Zhen said, "Among the Taiping Dao's foundation-building methods, there is a method called beheading the three corpses."

"Those who have achieved success are naturally well-versed in both civil and military skills."

"Taiping Dao?" Chu Danqing didn't expect that this matter would be related to Taiping Dao.

"Exactly. The Three Corpses, Six Thieves, and Nine Insects. These three foundation-building methods progress step by step and can be practiced individually or as a supplement."

"I heard that the Three Methods of Quanzhen is the best foundation-building method in the world." Ji Zhen changed into a more comfortable posture, alleviating the inconvenience of being unable to breathe due to the pressure of the clothes on his body, and then said this.

"I don't know about that." Chu Danqing shook his head and then said: "Before I..."

He summarized the situations of Lu San and the black panther with a human face, and explained the characteristics of the three types of drastic changes in temperament.

When Ji Zhen heard this, he stroked his beard and said, "The righteous man is trying to say that I was defiled by the Three Corpses, which is why I like fancy clothes."

"That's right." Chu Danqing said.

"Does that hero have any solution?" Ji Zhen asked with a smile, as if he didn't care at all.

This made Chu Danqing look helpless: "I don't have it."

In fact, he had a solution, which was to kill Ji Zhen directly.

If you think about it carefully, except for the black panther with a human face, the three corpses have not yet shown any extremely evil behavior in human bodies.

Lu San's temperament has changed drastically, but the other person is using his own money, not stealing or robbing.

As for the possibility of turning to crime in the future when he runs out of money, that is a matter for the future. We can't just convict him just because of that possibility.

Ninety-nine percent of people in this world are guilty, after all, the word "maybe" is too vague.

"In that case, then there's no need to worry about him." Ji Zhen smiled and said, "My Ji family is wealthy and powerful, so I don't need these fancy clothes."

"That's right." Chu Danqing agreed with him. "It's better to be safe than sorry, in case of any consequences."

"Yes, Dad, why don't I go ask Taiping Dao?" Ji Yun felt that what Chu Danqing said made sense.

The Ji family still has a good status in Yangxian County, so it is not a problem to ask someone to solve the problem.

"No need to bother." Ji Zhen simply waved his hand and refused: "This method is not accessible to ordinary followers. I have never heard of any high-ranking Taiping Dao members in Yangxian County."

The meaning of this statement is very clear, that is, it cannot be solved.

When Ji Yun heard this, he became even more anxious.

Chu Danqing did not continue to persuade him, but bowed: "Since the old man has made his own decision, I will not disturb him anymore."

"But for the sake of the Ji family, old sir, this problem should be resolved as soon as possible."

"If you don't mind, I can help you by asking around at Lu's and see if there's anything I can do to help you."

He planned to leave. There was not much point in staying here. Judging from Ji Zhen's expression, the two of them could not convince him.

"Thank you very much, sir. I can never repay you for saving my life. We should visit you more often." Ji Zhen said enthusiastically, and asked Ji Yun to send Chu Danqing out.

With guests present, Ji Yun could only consider the Ji family's reputation first. After sending Chu Danqing away, he came back and was about to continue persuading him, but Ji Zhen spoke first.

"This Chu Gongsheng is one of your few good friends." Ji Zhen said slowly, "He is honest and kind. Don't be stingy."

"If you are ever in trouble, he will definitely be the one who can lend a hand."

"Such people cannot be won over simply by profit, but should be befriended with affection and friendship."

After saying that, Ji Zhen slowly left with the help of others.

"Dad, you..." Ji Yun wanted to say something, but found that Ji Zhen had already walked away, and he was no longer as uncomfortable as before. At this moment, he found that he could not see through his own father.

On the other side, Chu Danqing got on a carriage and was heading towards Lu's.

Five hundred thousand yuan is not a small amount of money left in the Lu family, so after he came back, the first thing he did was to find Lu Peng, the head of the Lu family.

As a result, I was told that Lu Peng had gone out for something and would take some time to come back.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to turn around and look for Lu Yin.

When Lu Yin heard that he could get a thousand dan of grain for only 500,000 coins, he was surprised.

"My sister is so lucky to have Chu Gongsheng join our Lu family."

"My father once went to the Ji family to purchase grain but returned empty-handed. However, Chu Gongfeng was able to obtain a thousand stones. I admire him very much." Lu Yin sighed.

This is simply a treasure.

"Luck, luck." Chu Danqing said modestly, and then he took this opportunity to ask about the three corpses.

"Chu Gongsheng is actually interested in the Three Corpses. I just happen to know something about them." Lu Yin smiled and said, "The Three Corpses are also the Three Poisons."

"The upper corpse, which likes fine ornaments, is called Ju; the middle corpse, which likes delicious food, is called Tu; and the lower corpse, which likes lust, is called Qiao."

"The words of the Three Corpses come from the Human Volume of the three volumes of the Taiping Book, which the Taoist Priest Taiping obtained from the Emperor of Heaven."

"Thus, the method of beheading the three corpses was created." Lu Yin introduced the situation of the three corpses to Chu Danqing, mixed with some information related to the Taiping Dao.

From these remarks, Chu Danqing realized why the aristocratic Lu family was regarded as a faction by Paradise.

Ji Yun didn't know much about Taiping Dao, but Lu Yin knew it like the back of his hand.

Upon seeing this, Chu Danqing told Lu Yin about the situation.

Lu Yin smiled and said, "Relax, Master Chu."

"Although the Ji family is not as good as my Lu family, Ji Zhen is no less capable than my father. A mere corpse can't do anything to him."

"His life span is almost over, and this move is to pave the way for Ji Yun."

After hearing this, Chu Danqing suddenly understood. It was not that Ji Zhen did not want to get rid of him, but that this corpse was useful to him.

"But since Minister Chu has spoken out, my Lu family cannot be stingy."

After saying that, Lu Yin asked someone to bring paper, ink, pen and inkstone to write a note and stamp it with his own private seal.

"Xiao Cui, go to the storehouse and get a Glazed Heart Cleansing Pill." Lu Yin handed the note to a maid beside him and asked her to get it.

"After noon, when the grain is delivered, give it to Ji Zhen as a gift to help him."

Under normal circumstances, this thousand stone of grain would be nothing to the Lu family.

However, now is a time of disaster, and we don’t know when it will end, so food has become very important.

Chu Danqing didn't know the value of the Liuli Cleansing Heart Pill, but since Lu Yin needed to write a note and stamp it, he could be sure that it was worth a lot.

But it wasn't for him, so Chu Danqing didn't know what the effect was.

"Mr. Lu, this 1,000 dan of grain is a lot. Transporting it from the Ji family back to the Lu family will inevitably be too conspicuous on the way, and I'm afraid it will cause unrest." Chu Danqing reminded him.

Lu Yin explained Chu Danqing's concerns, "Mr. Xie Liyang, who is worshipped in the mansion, is known as the Wine Pot Hermit. Besides his proficiency in Fire Escape and his love of brewing wine, his greatest asset is the wine gourd that houses the world within the pot."

"There's no need to go to great lengths to transport the grain."

Chu Danqing felt that the gap between the upper and lower limits of this trial world was quite large.
