The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 18: Old Taoist Priest, Reason
When Chu Zhou exhaled for the last time, a crackling sound came from his body again. Different from the movement of his tendons, this time it was like a waterfall falling off a cliff and merging into a river. The rumbling sound was endless.

That was the sound of muscles and bones shaking all over the body, and the friction sound moved the air on the surface of the body, as if there was an extra circle of ripples that continued to expand outwards.

Chu Zhou himself also grew taller and taller, and in a short while, he had become a burly man two meters tall.

But this is not the end. With another breath, his joints crackled and he continued to shrink until he became a dwarf less than 1.5 meters tall.

This is the sign of perfect bone training, also known as the bones being soft and flexible that can stretch freely!
Chu Zhou's breathing returned to normal, his Qi and blood in his body calmed down, his strength returned, and fine beads of sweat seeped out from his body, forming a layer of fine sweat.

Even for him, this demonstration seemed a bit forced.

However, Chu Zhou patted his body and nodded with satisfaction.

Although the above-mentioned 'Four Perfect Phases' are terms used in the martial arts of this world, they are not suitable for Chu Zhou.

But in just four months, they have achieved this level. Chu Zhou is satisfied. Well, he is very satisfied!
According to the calculation method of this world, he has now reached the fourth level of perfection and is the pinnacle of martial arts.

In Baisha City, they are all top-notch masters.

As long as he can master the dirty training method, when he goes out, he can be respected as a "martial artist" and be on the same level as Wei Jinkui.

As for practicing the dirty method, is it difficult?

It is extremely difficult for others, but for Chu Zhou?

Difficulty? What is that?
Hasn't he succeeded before?
Of course, all of the above are the standards of this world. For Chu Zhou, tempering his body to this point is at most just entering the late stage.

There is still a long way to go before perfection!

He was not bragging, because even now, every time he took pills, took a medicinal bath, and tempered his body with the Seven Styles of the Wandering Dragon, he could still feel obvious progress.

At most, I was speeding on the highway before, but now I am on the elevated road and can only drive at a speed of 80 miles per hour.

But even so, for the warriors of this world, it is still an incomprehensible speed of practice.

So, this money was really not wasted!
Chu Zhou prepared himself mentally in this way, and when he looked at the account book again, he didn't feel so distressed anymore.

However, how to make money has to be put on the agenda!
I don’t know if it’s because of my martial arts training, but the first thought that came to Chu Zhou’s mind was that he had a murderous intent when he had a weapon in his mind.

It turns out that they are not doing business and making a little money, but robbing the rich to help the poor, robbing him!!!
……

Night is deep.

When Chu Zhou blew out the candle, the entire Xuanzhen Temple fell into complete darkness, like a dormant giant beast, sleeping quietly.

But a few miles away, another group of people were groping forward in the darkness.

They were all dressed in black, with black scarves covering their heads, leaving only a pair of eyes flashing a cold light.

They moved forward in the darkness without even lighting torches, so their speed was naturally not fast.

From time to time, someone would speak, and low, suppressed conversations would echo in the darkness.

"Boss, Boss, do we really want to do this business? I heard that the young Taoist priest in Xuanzhen Temple can really control ghosts and kill people?"

"Imperial ghost? Have you seen it?"

“No, I haven’t seen it, but it’s been widely reported in the city, so it can’t be false, right?
The Xue family's chief steward, who usually had his eyes pointed up to the sky, was beheaded just like that. You know that, right? "

"I know, of course I know! But if it's true, why didn't he just take off Master Xue's head?

Moreover, if he was really that powerful, how could Taoist Xuan Zhen have his head chopped off by that one-horned ghost?"

In the darkness, the boss's voice was so confident: "So, it's all a lie, don't believe it!!!"

"But Boss, Xuanzhen Temple and Iron Spear Martial Arts School are on good terms, this can't be fake, right? We can't afford to offend Master Wei, the Iron Spear Soul Chaser."

"I know I can't afford to offend him, but is that Wei Wushi here? In Baisha City?

After we do this, let's keep a low profile. Even if he comes back, can he find us?

Besides, even if he wanted to seek revenge, shouldn't he go to Master Xue?"

"This, this, this... Boss, why do I still feel this is a little unreliable?"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense!"

After a pause, he lowered his voice: "Do you think I want to come? Then Master Xue found me and made a condition. Do you think I can refuse?"

The boss's voice rose a few notches, and was a little fierce: "Once the matter is done, there will be benefits for us. Five streets in the north of the city will be allocated to us. From now on, brothers will not have to worry about food and clothing.

But if we don’t do it, we won’t even see the sun tomorrow, so do I need to tell you what to choose?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. After a moment, someone said in a hoarse voice: "Let's fight!"

"Yes, we fought!"

"Fight!"

"If we kill them, we can live better!"

They walked further and further along the road. With the help of sporadic moonlight, in the distance, at the foot of the mountain, the outline of Xuanzhen Temple seemed to appear in the darkness.

At this point, all the men in black stopped talking, but they gripped their weapons even harder.

However, they didn’t know that behind them, hundreds of meters away, there were also two people following closely.

They were wearing a straw raincoat that was almost non-reflective, and a bamboo hat on their heads. They followed the group of "mobs" closely, as casually as if they were strolling in their own yard.

It was not until the group of people were provoked to ferocity that one of them spoke up: "This boss is not really an idiot!"

Another person said hoarsely: "It's a pity that he is too weak, just a vanguard!"

"We still have to be careful. Maybe that person has some skills to ward off ghosts."

"With the treasure given by the master, why should we be afraid?"

"But that is the master's treasure, so if we can avoid consuming it, then don't waste it!"

"I know, I know, I will control myself!"...

Xue Mansion,

Another banquet was held in the living room, but this time there were only two people seated there.

Baisha County Magistrate Xue Minghua did not sit at the top, but sat on the side. On the other side sat an old Taoist priest wearing a bright yellow Taoist robe and with many wrinkles on his face.

The old Taoist looked inconspicuous, with messy hair and tattered Taoist robes with many patches on them, which looked like pockets filled with a lot of things.

But this sloppy old man has a pair of very special eyes. They are not as cloudy as an old man, nor as clear as a young man, nor as tired as a middle-aged man.
Some are just plain!

It is so dull that there is not even a ripple, so dull that there is no difference between the living and the dead.

Xue Minghua didn't like these eyes. When he was stared at by the other party, he felt a chill in his heart.

As a result, his repeated attempts to liven up the atmosphere ended in failure.

The old man watched his clumsy performance and then said quietly, "Master Xue, there is no need to bother with this. I will take your money and do the job properly."

"hehe!"

Master Xue laughed dryly and asked for conversation, "Can those few losers really take down Xuanzhen Temple?

That demon killer..."

At this point, he shuddered, as if frightened. After looking around, he whispered, "But I saw it with my own eyes!"

"They are just consumables for testing, and my two martial servants are following them! If the other party is not very capable, my two martial servants will take them down.

If they really have some ability to ward off ghosts, they will flee back and I will take care of them!"

"It just so happens that some of my things have been left with Taoist Xuan Zhen for a long time. Is it time to take them back?"

After saying this, Master Xue blinked and asked uncertainly, "You know Taoist Xuan Zhen? What else did he take from you?"

The old Taoist grinned, his wrinkles twisted together, looking very scary: "The "Ghost Technique", which is Xuan Zhen's method of controlling ghosts, was taken from me at the beginning.

Do you think I know him?"

"This this?"

Mr. Xue felt a chill run through his head: "Then you, what are you doing?"

"You thought you found me? No, I just wanted you to find me."

The old Taoist smiled more gently: "So, the money you promised me cannot be less than a cent!"

"Not a few, absolutely not a few!"

Master Xue felt that the situation was about to get out of control, but at this point, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Well, I will never compromise on my promise, as long as Xuanzhen Temple is completely wiped out."

The old Taoist suddenly became interested: "I am actually a little curious, I wonder if Master Xue is willing to help me solve this puzzle?"

"You say?"

“As far as I know, although the young Taoist priest from Xuanzhen Temple killed your servant, he only killed the servant.

More of a warning than anything else!
And given the way you guys act, you won't fight to the death, right?"

Master Xue seemed to have expected this, and after a pause, he said, "That little guy really only wanted to warn, but his warning was too good.

A man in front of me tore off his own head, and blood spurted several meters high and fell on my face.

Do you know how scary that is?

"Since that day, I have always dreamed of that horrible scene every time I went to sleep. It has become a demon in my heart that I cannot get rid of.

Therefore, only by killing him and destroying Xuanzhen Temple can I realize my thoughts. "

The old Taoist nodded and said, "This reason is acceptable. However..."

At this point, he grinned with a look of evil interest: "I know a little bit about medicine, and judging from Mr. Xue's face, it is true that he was frightened and has troubled every night.

But besides that, kidney deficiency, difficulty in retaining essence, and poor sexual intercourse are also one of the reasons, right?"

"How dare you say I'm impotent?"

As if something had been done wrong, Master Xue jumped up, his face flushed red.

There's no way. No man can tolerate being told "no". What's more, Mr. Xue is a man who cares about his reputation.

In fact, it was unknown whether outsiders were frightened or not. The only thing was that the difficulty in having sex each time made Mr. Xue's hatred grow deeper and deeper, like a stream merging into a river.

If he had not retained some rationality after being pointed out by the old Taoist, he would have killed someone.

But the old Taoist was not panicked at all. He stretched out his hand and pressed down, saying, "I have a prescription that can help Master Xue regain his prowess and kill everyone. I wonder if Master Xue wants it?"

"Ah!"

Mr. Xue, who was furious just now, sat down again and immediately said, "Yes! Of course!"

“Is this price a bit expensive?”

"It's expensive, but I'll buy it!"

……

Xuanzhen concept,
"what……"

A scream broke the silence of the night and woke up Chu Zhou. He shuddered, his muscles tensed, and he stood up straight.

Looking outside the house again, he saw shadowy figures, like monsters or demons!
