There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 166, Daomen Token

Zhang Yaling naturally has no best friends, this is all just a coincidence.

In the next few days, Lu Yue patiently waited for Captain Liu's information on the investigation of Guhe Village, while concentrating on the practice of Jade Body. Occasionally, he would take time to go to the city hospital to absorb the source energy there.

In addition, we also actively obtain news related to supernatural beings, paranormal events, etc.

Shortcomings in supplementary information.

At the same time, he also paid attention to the Seven Deadly Sins incident.

However, regarding this incident, the Demon Suppression Division's progress is somewhat slow.

I heard that even Li Hao, who specializes in solving crimes, joined the investigation, but he also hit a dead end. The reason was that when he was checking the deceased's past, he encountered amnesia of the deceased and many other reasons.

Judging from the memories that can be retrieved, the patients did not have any special experiences, and their experiences before the dream were normal.

This can only mean one thing.

Maybe these victims just did something very small.

For example, passing by a stranger on the street, or saying hello to someone in the morning, chatting with colleagues at work, gossiping, watching videos, browsing group chats, fighting with pictures, squatting in the toilet...

These seemingly insignificant things may be the origin of the event.

Currently, the main entry point for the Demon Suppression Division is dreams.

This is also what those people have in common.

Of course, there is also good news. At least the conditions of those patients have improved and the number of deaths has not continued to spread.

Naturally, it was not Lu Yue's turn to worry about these professional case-solving matters.

It is better for him to take care of his own affairs first. Lu Yue recently discovered that even after increasing his cultivation efficiency sixfold, the progress of his jade body's cultivation cannot be said to be slow, but it is not as fast as he imagined, and is far from reaching the realm of rapid progress.

Tracing back to the source, the problem lies in the fact that the version of the technique is too low.

The improvement of the cheat version is actually continuous optimization, making it easier for the human body to break through. It is similar to filling a water bottle with water. Even if the diameter of the water pipe is constantly changed to improve the transportation efficiency, the bottle itself is so small and has great limitations.

But if the bottle is optimized into a pool and the diameter of the water pipe is enlarged, this is the final form, and the practice will achieve a qualitative change.

Ultimately, it’s a matter of source energy.

In this regard, Lu Yue had already come up with a new method, which was to actively participate in the handling of other supernatural events in Taicheng and infiltrate the team of extraordinary people in the Taicheng Town Demon Division.

But after some attempts, Lu Yue discovered that the Demon Suppression Bureau had a strict set of procedures for handling supernatural events, and he couldn't intervene forcefully, so he could only choose to absorb the source energy from the side.

Even so, I have successfully harvested four strands of source energy in my spare time these few days.

Now, the source of his energy in Taicheng is very clear.

The inpatient department is his regular base.

And you can earn extra money by following the members of the Demon Suppression Bureau on missions.

The moon is hidden and the sun is rising.

Another new day.

On this day, Lu Yue went to Qingxu Taoist Temple, wanting to verify whether there would be any special changes after practicing in this holy place. However, the result was not beyond his expectations, and no special changes occurred.

Moreover, Taoist Master Fang is not in the Taoist temple and no one knows where he went.

Just as Lu Yue finished a day of practice and was about to go home, he suddenly saw a familiar figure as he passed by the hall.

"Master, it's bad. Someone in my family is sick and needs surgery in the hospital. I came here to draw lots, but I drew three times in a row, and all were bad." The anxious voice of a pilgrim came.

"Let me see... Well, it's indeed a bad fortune. Congratulations, your family member will get better soon." A middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and with a slightly overweight figure said with squinted eyes.

The person drawing the lot looked confused. Did he draw a bad lot or a good one?

"Do you know the idiom 'When bad luck reaches its lowest point, good luck will come'? When a person's bad luck reaches its lowest point, when things are at their worst, that is when good luck will come."

After saying this, the fat Taoist priest threw the bad fortune stick directly into the trash can.

Then he took out a black palm-sized wooden token from his pocket.

"Here I have a token from Taishang Laojun, made of wood struck by lightning. It can protect you and your life, exorcise evil spirits, cure diseases, and bring peace and good fortune. Take it back and place it next to the patient. Combined with scientific medical treatment, the patient will recover soon."

"Thank you, Taoist Priest. How much does this cost?" the man asked hesitantly.

"Taoists take saving people and helping the world as their responsibility and don't talk about money." The portly Taoist priest said with a sage demeanor, waving his hand.

After the man left with many thanks, Lu Yue stepped forward.

This fat Taoist priest is Taoist Lin, who is also Taoist Fang’s senior brother.

"Junior Brother Lu, why are you here?" When Taoist Lin saw Lu Yue, his concentration broke down instantly and he revealed a chrysanthemum-like smile.

"Feel the nature and communicate with heaven and earth." Lu Yue said it in a mysterious way.

This was due to a piece of information he had recently read that was related to the spiritual practice of extraordinary people.

In order to study the feasibility of the cultivation method, the extraordinary people made many attempts. In addition to the places with rich spiritual energy that are generally recognized by the public as places for breakthroughs in cultivation, they also developed many tricks.

For example, some people believe that only by constantly fighting and honing themselves can they be more conducive to breakthroughs. The representative figure of this type of practitioners is the deceased evil star Li Hu.

There are also people who practice in places where yin energy gathers, believing that the magnetic field in such places is strange and changeable, which can stimulate the spiritual energy in the body and improve strength in another way.

Some people also believe that only by getting infinitely close to death can one be broken and then rebuilt.

In short, the more mysterious the practice method, the more people will believe in and try it.

Therefore, no matter what weird actions Lu Yue makes in the future, he can attribute it to this aspect. After all, the path to success cannot be copied, and the failure of others can only prove that they are not talented enough or lack understanding.

"Master Lin, are you just giving away this valuable lightning-struck wood for nothing?" Lu Yue asked curiously about what had just happened. Master Lin glanced around, pulled Lu Yue to an empty corner, and said in a low voice: "Those are dead jujube wood, not real lightning-struck wood."

"You gave me a fake?" Lu Yue was shocked.

"How can this be considered a fake?" Taoist Priest Lin was immediately anxious, and quickly explained: "Although they are not real lightning-struck wood, they have experienced a little bit of lightning after all. In addition, with the unique methods of our Taoist sect, they have transformed decay into magic and made this token. It is barely... barely effective."

A few minutes later, Lu Yue finally understood it all.

Currently, the jujube forest in Mucheng belongs to Taoist Lin, but ninety-nine percent of them are dead lightning-struck trees. The truly living lightning-struck trees were actually picked up by those extraordinary people as early as when the park was opened.

After Master Lin took over, he prepared to plant date trees again.

Make use of that Feng Shui treasure land for continuous nourishment.

In this way, within a few decades, a large number of genuine lightning-struck wood can be cultivated.

Therefore, those dead lightning-struck trees that are occupying their positions must be dug out, but this thing cannot be wasted, and its afterglow must be maximized.

Therefore, Master Lin came up with a solution.

Make a Taoist token.

The token is one of the important instruments in Taoism.

In various Taoist rituals or religious activities, it is a commonly used instrument. When some Taoists perform rituals, they will hold a token to represent the gods or heavenly masters, issue orders, command the thunder god, guard the Taoist altar, call the wind and rain, summon gods and generals, or descend to the altar, or escort the dead, or exorcise evil spirits and demons, and can drive away evil spirits, cure diseases and save people...

There are many types of such tokens.

The Taishang Laojun token just given to me is one of the finished products.

Of course, due to the limitations of Master Lin’s qualifications and materials, the effect of this token...maybe, but it certainly can’t cure all diseases as the legend says.

Otherwise, Master Lin would not have suggested that scientific treatment methods should be used.

For the pilgrims, it was just a simple vascular stent surgery.

Not much of a risk.

"Your craftsmanship is worth some money, why is it free?" Lu Yue asked.

Taoist Priest Lin's expression suddenly became serious, and he said with a firm look, "Brother Lu, do you know the Chanyin Ancient Temple scenic area in Taicheng? I've been there once, and it's very popular. I, Brother Fang, do things casually and don't care about popularity, but I can't let Qingxu Taoist Temple be outdone by Buddhism."

"So, I decided to use those discarded lightning-struck wood to make Taoist tokens and distribute them for free to promote the reputation of our Qingxu Taoist Temple."

"Revitalize Taoism, starting with me!"

Lu Yue was solemn.

It is not without reason that Buddhism and Taoism have been enemies since ancient times.

The next second, Taoist Priest Lin muttered again, "Of course, after I inherit Junior Brother Fang's legacy, all of this will be mine. I can't let the Taoist temple fall into decline."

Lu Yue: “…”

As expected, he is still thinking about Master Fang’s property.

At this time, Taoist Lin looked Lu Yue up and down, revealed a meaningful smile and said: "Junior Brother Lu, do you want me to make you a Taoist token? I happen to have a piece of lightning-struck wood."

"Thank you. Then I want a Five Thunders token." Lu Yue said.

When Master Lin heard this, his eyelids twitched.

"Why, you can't do it?" Lu Yue asked.

"Junior Brother Lu, the success rate of this thing is too low. I estimate that I won't be able to make it even if I use up all the materials I have. The cost of making a token is actually higher than making a talisman or refining an elixir. At present, I can only make some auxiliary tokens at best."

"What auxiliary token?" Lu Yue asked curiously.

"This is kept secret." Taoist Priest Lin said mysteriously.

"Is it expensive?" Lu Yue asked again.

"Talking about money is too vulgar, it's free!" Master Lin said generously.

"Okay, thank you. Give me one for 1,800 yuan." Lu Yue said with a smile.

Priest Lin: “???????”

The two chatted for a while, and Taoist Lin finally did not reveal what token he was going to give him. However, Lu Yue thought, since it was free anyway, he might as well take it regardless of whether it worked or not.

After coming out of Qingxu Taoist Temple, Lu Yue took a taxi home.

As soon as I got in the car, my phone started vibrating.

When I opened it, I found that the number of messages in the "Social Animals Staying Up Late Group" had shown 99+.

One of the comments immediately caught Lu Yue's attention.

"That adulterer is right next to my house on the street. Don't worry, sister. Today, in front of all the friends in the group, I will definitely help you catch this adulterer and his wife and make him leave the house with nothing!"

It turned out that the girl in the group sent a message saying that she heard a woman's voice again when she called her husband. A tough guy in the group happened to be nearby, so he volunteered to stand up for the girl and raided the other woman's husband's residence to catch the couple in bed.

The popularity of the adultery incident also attracted many group members, and everyone said that they would not work overtime tonight and must wait until the result comes out.

Some people even requested this guy to broadcast live.

I changed the name of Guxi Village to Guhe Village because the creek is not as big or deep as the river. It was my mistake.
