I was forced to cultivate immortality when I just wanted to lie down

Chapter 24 Return to the Mill
During Xu Qing's retreat, there were many customers who came to the coroner's shop to inquire about feng shui and funeral services. These were all trivial matters to him. If the other party could not find him as the owner, they would naturally go to another shop.

The only person who deserved his attention here was the medical examiner from the classroom who suddenly came to visit him.

"I originally thought that since Liu Youdao had left his hometown and come to Linhe, no old acquaintances would come to visit him, but I never expected that someone would still come to visit him."

"I just don't know where this so-called old friend comes from."

After seeing Wu Yaoxing off, Xu Qing returned to the shop and began to think about what had happened in the past few days.

He had no connection with his old friend from the same school who worked as a coroner in the patrol office, but Xu Qing was not worried.

As early as when he inherited the coroner's shop, he had prepared his story. It is not easy for people to tell lies, but if what they say is seven parts true and three parts false, even ghosts and gods would find it difficult to tell the difference.

His apprenticeship was fake, but his learning of skills was real. As long as he had the skills of a corpse driver passed down from his "master", who would not believe him if he said that he was a disciple accepted by Liu Youdao halfway?

In addition, it is also true that Liu Youdao died at the hands of the evil people of Tianxin Sect. Even on the surface, he would be irreconcilable with Tianxin Sect!
Because this is the reaction and mentality that a disciple should have after his mentor dies.

Only by acting wisely can one avoid mistakes. After Xu Qing reviewed and deduced all possible problems and came up with corresponding solutions, he let the matter go.

February 8th, today is the first day that the coroner's shop reopened.

After Xu Qing finished eating two candles and ten pounds of raw eggs, and when he was full, he sat on the recliner in front of the counter and comfortably smoked a stick of incense.

"The Corpse Cultivation Sutra says that once an Iron Armored Corpse is forged, its entire body will become as tough as copper and iron, invulnerable to swords and spears, and difficult to be damaged by ordinary weapons. I wonder if this is true?"

After eating and drinking his fill, Xu Qing, who was full of energy with nowhere to release it, suddenly had a light in his eyes. He then stood up and went to the kitchen, took out a kitchen knife forged from fine iron, and scratched his palm with the sharp blade, but only a pale mark was left.

Gently rub the palm of your hand, and after a while even the white mark disappears.

Seeing this, Xu Qing became bolder and simply put his hands on the chopping board, constantly testing the strength. Suddenly, the sound of metal clashing and colliding could be heard from the kitchen.

After a while of cutting, chopping, and splitting, the sharp kitchen knife that Xu Qinghua bought for three hundred coins was completely broken. Looking at his own hands, apart from the white marks, there was no damage to his skin.

He estimated that with his current physical fitness, he was probably not worse than those martial artists who practiced external training, and was even not much worse than those martial artists who practiced internal training.

After testing his physical strength, Xu Qing felt the power contained in his body and couldn't help but go to the backyard to practice a set of Tiger Seal Dragon Elephant Fist.

After breaking through the armored corpse, he unleashed the Tiger Seal Dragon Elephant Fist, which was extremely powerful. Every time the tip of his fist broke through the air, the roars of tigers and dragons could be heard, as if there were really dragons and tigers lurking between his fists, feet, and sleeves.

The pomegranate tree in the courtyard that had just sprouted was affected by the wind of the fist. The branches on the entire crown of the tree trembled continuously until he finished a whole set of boxing techniques, and then the shaking stopped.

Feeling the tangible improvement in his strength, Xu Qing felt that it was time to settle the old accounts that had been accumulated for a long time.

When he was grinding at the Corpse Worker's Mill, the other party didn't pay him a single penny!

Xu Qing is neither big nor small. He won't point his finger and curse the sky when it thunders and rains, nor will he give a thumbs up to the sky when the weather is sunny and warm, because this is all the cycle of nature and cannot be influenced by ordinary people.

But apart from the laws of nature, it is not so easy to let go of human affairs.

That night, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Xu Qing put on brass knuckles and hid a knife at his waist. He was completely different from when he escaped from Cui's Mill.

Back then, he was a novice, with nothing, and was busy running around. But now he was armed with a sharp weapon, and his horizontal training skills were comparable to those of an internal training martial artist.

It's time to go back and visit the dark workshop at night to pray for the souls of those who still cannot rest in peace after death.

The Cui Mill was quite large. Besides the residences for the manager and servants in the front, there were workshops and courtyards in the back, divided according to the ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches. Xu Qing followed the route he remembered and arrived at the C-type assembly line where he had once worked.

Ever since the corpse workers refined by Liu Youdao were returned, the vacant positions in the C-type positions were replaced by corpse workers refined by other corpse drivers.

Xu Qing climbed over the high wall. It was late at night and there were no servants or guards looking after the courtyard where the corpse workers were.

I think the mill itself was not afraid of thieves coming to steal. After all, anyone who climbed over the wall and saw a bunch of zombies grinding the mill in the middle of the night would be scared to death and would not have the leisure to think about stealing.

If you don’t piss yourself and run home to hide under the covers, you’re considered brave!
There were as many as ten corpses in Courtyard C, not to mention Courtyards A and B on the left and right, totaling at least thirty.

Xu Qing saw the night as day, and under the moonlight, his eyes were glowing green. The look in his eyes when he looked at the zombies was like a monk who had been vegetarian and chanting for decades and came to Cuiyun Tower for the first time.

It’s really hard to control!

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Silently reciting the scriptures for salvation, slowly turning the pages of the Sutra for Saving People, it didn't take long before the human hearts and ghosts, good and evil, grudges and grievances in this courtyard emerged one by one.

After evaluation, all ten bodies in the C-shaped courtyard were rated as "人" (human), and the rewards for saving people were varied:
A volume of palace secrets, a black, shriveled wineworm, some gold and silver items, a bottle of cooling powder and a pill of mantra.

The full name of the palace secret technique is "Thirteen Methods of Distinguishing the Chastity of Women", which describes thirteen methods of distinguishing the chastity of women. It was a palace secret technique learned by a eunuch in his youth when he was in charge of recruiting and checking the chastity of palace maids in the palace.

Later, the eunuch was sent out of the palace because he was old. After many twists and turns, he finally came to Tianjin. Unfortunately, he was unlucky. One day, his friend saw a marriage proposal and asked him to help determine whether the woman was still a chaste woman. However, the next day after the result came out, the eunuch was beaten to death in the street by the woman's family.

With a learning attitude, Xu Qing discovered that this palace secret technique was very similar to the medical method of looking, smelling, asking and feeling. However, what was observed was the posture, what was smelled was the scent of virginity, and what was asked was the sexual intercourse between men and women. As for feeling, it was not the pulse beating, but a practical method in the Privet Law, which was similar to the method of having the maidservant who came with the dowry to test the ability of the son-in-law when the daughter of a wealthy family got married.

However, the maids here have replaced other methods or objects. The techniques are only passed down in secret in the palace and are not to be told to outsiders.

In addition to the three types of medical examinations, there is another secret technique in the palace secrets, which is the preparation and application of toad sand.

As long as the woman is a virgin, she can be monitored for a long time by staining the palace sand.

After learning the tricks to identify female privets, Xu Qing looked strange. What kind of mess had he learned every day?

This secret technique might be of some use to young men of marriageable age, but for someone like him who was only interested in seeking immortality and enlightenment, it was too unconventional.

Shaking his head, Xu Qing took out another reward, which was a wine bug that was completely black and shriveled like a dried plum.

It is called a wine worm, but it is not any scaled insect, but a wine worm that comes from the body of a drunkard.

The function is to put it in water, and the water will have the taste of mellow wine.

Xu Qing thought that he didn't drink, and what kind of serious zombie would hold a jar of wine and jump around drunk all day long?

In addition to his drinking addiction, he also had a bottle of cooling powder he got from the night watchman, which was used to relieve fatigue and refresh the mind.

Yes, it also comes with after-sales service, which is just right for hangover relief!

Xu Qing almost laughed out of anger. These two insignificant but closely coordinated things could not be said to be very helpful to him. It could only be said that they had no effect at all.
