Chapter 19: Crying to suppress ghosts, a divine method
"The nine-headed Guanyin weeps to suppress the ghost statue!"
Xu Beihu said in a deep voice. After finishing his words, the sound of wind and snow in the sky seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
Crying to suppress ghosts? !
Li Che's face changed slightly.
Today, he is no longer the novice porter who used to focus on moving wood. He also knows a lot about the water involved in wood carvings.
This huge Feilei City is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city is as prosperous as a dream. It is where the aristocratic families that have flourished in Feilei City for a long time live. It is extremely rich and prosperous inside.
These aristocratic families all have their own methods of cultivation, and they even practice the rumored divine method.
In fact, every family owns a wood carving shop and recruits and trains wood carvers, because if the wood carvings carved by the wood carvers have a strong enough charm, it will be of great benefit to the practitioners of the family who practice the divine method.
Divine cultivation can be extracted from wood carvings.
This is also the reason why the price of wood carvings carved by wood carvers can be very high.
In the wood carving shops in the inner city, there are wood carving masters. The wood carvings carved by those wood carving masters are full of charm and extremely precious. Each piece is worth hundreds or thousands of gold!
Li Che has heard many opinions from Lao Chen this year.
It is not easy to become a master of wood carving, because the charm of the carved wood carving needs to reach the level of overflowing and taking shape.
Li Che's [Immortal Craftsmanship] Dao Fruit has reached lv2, which can make the carved objects have meaning, but he is still a little short of reaching the master level. Perhaps he can only reach the master level after reaching lv3.
"The sculpture maker will provide it, you can just carve it..."
Xu Beihu, who had a tall body and a deep voice, looked at Li Che deeply.
"This is a rare opportunity. It is based on your reputation for carving sculptures in the past. Because the wood sculptures you carved have rich meanings, you got this opportunity."
"You don't need to be too burdened. Even if the carving fails and the finished wood carving is not rich in meaning, it doesn't matter. After all, you have only been a wood carver for a year, and there is still room for growth, so just practice."
Xu Beihu said with relief.
Li Che gritted his teeth and had no intention of letting go of the five gold leaves.
"Then let me try." Li Che said, cupping his fists.
Seeing that Li Che had agreed, Xu Beihu was in a good mood. He patted Li Che on the shoulder and said, "Young master of the Si family wants your wood carvings, probably to practice the divine method. The divine method of the Si family is to 'cry to suppress ghosts'." If you can succeed, you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and you may even have a chance to reach the master level."
"Divinity... Crying suppresses ghosts." Li Che heard the explanation from Lao Chen.
Cultivation methods include physical training, inner strength and divinity. Among them, the divine method is the most mysterious, inner strength is precious, and physical training is more popular.
Divine law has always been controlled by the wealthy families in the inner city, and outsiders have no way of practicing it.
Xu Beihu glanced at Li Che and said softly: "The divine method is commonly divided into seven meridians, joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and surprise... Crying to suppress ghosts belongs to the divine nature of sorrow, the divine nature The method is infinitely mysterious, but it requires accumulation of divine power over time, and it is not easy.”
Xu Beihu didn't say much and took a deep look at Li Che: "Your wood carving talent is excellent. If you become a wood carving master in the future, you will have a chance to obtain the divine method of my Xu family, so... don't slack off."
When Li Che heard this, he quickly showed gratitude on his face and bowed with his fists.
Xu Beihu nodded with satisfaction and took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve: "This is the shape of the 'Nine Songs of Guanyin Crying to Suppress Ghost Statues'. The construction period is one month. After one month, I will come to find you." ”
"At that time, I will take you into the inner city to trade with the Master of the Si family."
Li Che nodded and took the shape diagram.
…
…
After practicing, Li Che returned to the workshop and cleaned up before leaving Xu Ji Wood Carving Shop.
He made an excuse to buy some rice wine and cut some braised meat, but he actually planned to go to Fangshi in the outer city to check out the situation. If Xu Beihu didn't come to the muscle-opening method and the internal strength method, he would have to do it himself.
Fortunately, the muscle-opening method is only a body-training method after all. Although it is rare, it is as rare as the divine method.
After leaving the wood carving shop, he walked to an alley. After confirming that there was no one around, he activated the [Dragon Elephant King Kong]. His body straightened up and became burly. He took out a wood carving mask and covered it on his face. Wrapped in a fur coat, he disappeared into the long street.
Feilei City's Fangshi is located in the west of the outer city. It is a not-so-shabby place with many shacks and old buildings.
It looks very dilapidated.
But this is the market where the monks of Fei Lei City trade. Most of the monks here are adventurous people outside the city, killing monsters and entering strange temples to obtain cultivation resources.
The monk took the rags, spread them on the ground, and set up a store with all kinds of weird things, and started doing business.
Li Che looked over and turned his eyes. This was his first time here. The main reason was that he had never practiced before and did not dare to come here for fear of losing his life.
After wandering around many stalls for a long time, I finally stopped in front of a similarly well-packed vendor.
The similarity in temperament gave Li Che a sense of security.
"Are you interested in the stuff that just came out of the weird temple?" The stall owner glanced at Li Che, who was wrapped up in a tight package, and said in a hoarse voice.
"The Weird Temple..." Li Che was silent. It was an extremely dangerous place outside the city. It was rumored that the inheritance of the Lingying Sect came from the Weird Temple.
The reason why the huge scene is so precarious has a lot to do with the strange temples that have sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain, and the raging evil things that escape from the strange temples after they lose control.
For practicing warriors, the strange temple after the suppression is a place to explore resources.
However, Li Che doesn't have much interest in the weird temple now. He came to Fangshi just for body training.
"Is there any body-training method available for purchase from the merchant?" Li Che changed his voice and said hoarsely.
"How to refine the body?" The merchant sat cross-legged on the ground and raised his head strangely when he heard the words.
"What level do you want?"
"Open the tendons." Li Che said.
Open tendons?
The merchant’s eyes flashed.
"I happen to have a medium-level body training method that I bought from a weird temple in the south of the city. It can be used to temper bones. I wonder if you have any ideas?"
Li Che's burly body was extremely oppressive, but the vendor was not afraid. What kind of strength could a guy who even wanted to buy muscle-opening techniques have?
"I just need the muscle-opening technique." Li Che responded calmly.
When the merchant heard this, he didn't waste any time talking. He was very quick and took out an old blue-covered book from his arms and handed it to Li Che.
After flipping through it and confirming that the method of opening the ribs in Zhongcheng was correct, Li Che closed the book with satisfaction.
"If you have the inner energy method, you can use it to pass."
In fact, Li Che had no hope for the Inner Energy Method. However, if it really didn't work, he went back to Old Chen to buy it. Old Chen had said at the beginning that he could sell the Inner Energy Method to him.
"Your Excellency, you are joking. Most of the Nei Jin Methods are monopolized by aristocratic families. We and other vendors cannot bear the responsibility of selling Nei Jin Methods. Once discovered, we will not be able to survive in Feilei City."
The merchant shook his head.
Li Che felt regretful, but he didn't care: "Then let's use this muscle-opening method."
The merchant raised five fingers: "Five hundred taels!"
Li Che laughed and stood up slowly. He was as tall as a mountain. Qi and blood flowed out from his body, and the air around him became stagnant. An extremely terrifying sense of oppression pressed against him, as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling.
This person thought that he was a martial artist who was stuck in the perfection of skin grinding, so he was in urgent need of muscle-opening methods, so he took advantage of it?
Don't tell me... I guessed it right.
"One hundred taels, that's about it." Li Che said calmly, "I bought it as a gift to my junior, that's about it."
The merchant felt this courage and his expression changed slightly. As someone who lives outside the city and dares to enter the strange temple to fight for harvest, he naturally has a good eye.
This strong man's vitality and blood are so strong that he doesn't feel as oppressive as a bone-tempering warrior, and he has even had human lives on his hands!
He is definitely a murderer who regards human life as nothing!
A hand-copied version of Zhongzheng Jin-Opening Technique, which is not uncommon, sold for a hundred taels, so some made a profit anyway.
After all, he had several copies at home.
"make a deal!"
The merchant immediately said from his heart.
After hearing this, Li Che threw down a hundred taels, turned around and left with the muscle-opening technique, and disappeared into the market.
The merchant also quickly picked up the cloth and left the place where the stall was set up.
…
…
After getting the muscle-opening method, Li Che was in a good mood and could start to open the muscles tomorrow.
After leaving Fangshi, he looked for a remote place, took off his fur coat, found a place to hide it, and then leisurely went to cut braised pork and drink wine, and then went to a pastry shop to buy a box of Zhang Ya's favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake. , then returned to the wood carving shop.
The wind and snow are rustling, dancing all over the sky.
Stepping on the thick snow covering the bluestone ground.
Li Che walked towards home.
However, his steps gradually stopped. Carrying the braised pork, jar of wine and sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Li Che slowly frowned and stared at the man standing at the door of his yard...
He seemed to be smiling but not smiling, standing with a knife in his hand to arrest the head of the government, Zhao Chuanxiong.
