Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 14 Does He Know Too Much?
early morning!

It was not until people in the room got up one after another that Chen Yushu pretended to have just woken up and walked out of the room.

At this time, he deliberately looked at Xu Hao.

He had deep bags under his eyes and his face was a little pale, and his steps seemed unsteady as he walked on the road. At this moment, an apprentice suddenly came over and patted him on the shoulder. His legs went weak, he staggered, and almost fell.

"What's going on? So weak?

Did you go to Mingyu Flower Boat again yesterday? Did you sneak into Yuegu's room?"

The apprentice was a little surprised when he saw this, and then said jokingly.

“How could that be?
Where do I have money now?

I don’t know what’s going on. I haven’t been sleeping well these past few days and have been having nightmares…”

Xu Hao saw that it was Zhao Lei who lived in Room 1. Although the other party was not assigned to work in the store, he was also a "senior" apprentice, doing the work of blasting and moxibustion of medicinal materials.

Paomoxibustion is a method of refining and making medicine.

Some medicinal materials, after being picked, cannot be used directly as medicine even if they are cleaned. They need to be processed using special techniques, such as burning, steaming, drying, neutralizing, frying in soil, etc., before they can be officially made into medicine and used as medicine, and the medicinal effect will be better.

Although Zhao Lei is about the same age as him, he has been an apprentice for four or five years. Whenever he sees him, he often tries to curry favor with him.

"Really not going?"

Zhao Lei was surprised, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "You should do less manual work and learn to be moderate."

"no!"

Xu Hao shook his head, but didn't know how to explain.

He really felt something was wrong these two days.

Chen Yushu stood not far away, thinking to himself, "How could this be exhausting? Being sucked by a ghost, even if Xu Hao had mastered the Yaowang Zhuang Gong and had accumulated a certain amount of Qi and blood in his body, he couldn't stand such a drain."

Then he thought about it, walked over to Li Hu, and asked as if he didn't care, "Has anyone died in our shop?"

The 'ghost' he saw last night didn't seem very old, about the same age as apprentices like them, so he guessed that the ghost might have been an apprentice in the pharmacy.

If someone can transform into a ghost, then of course he is dead.

And it shouldn’t take too long.

Otherwise, I believe that with the background of the Liu family's pharmacy, even if there are many people practicing martial arts in the pharmacy, I have never heard of anyone learning the things in that martial art, but there is definitely a way to "eliminate" it.

"Did you hear that?"

As expected, Li Hu lowered his voice suddenly, then pulled him aside and said in a low voice: "Someone died, but it wasn't long ago, only about ten days.

The man's name was Li Pei. He was also an apprentice originally. It was said that he had good talent. Within a month, he had mastered the Medicine King Posture.

It’s just that he works too hard and is too diligent…”

"Too hard-working? Too diligent?"

Chen Yushu was stunned.

"right!

Being able to master the Medicine King Posture within a month is considered very good in our medicine shop.

I heard that the most amazing one is the medical apprentice Xu Lihao, who mastered the basic standing meditation in just seven days and achieved minor success in one year. Now, he has been spotted by Doctor Liu and accepted as a disciple. He can learn medical skills from him and will at least be a doctor in the future, with a bright future ahead of him.

This person had good talent and mastered the basic practice of standing meditation within a month.

But you also know that practicing the Medicine King Posture once will consume a lot of energy.

This is especially true after you get started.

With the food we have, it's good enough if we can practice twice a day.

As a result, he practiced at least three times a day, or even four times... so soon, his body collapsed."

Li Hu said this and shook his head.

"And then he died?"

Chen Yushu asked hurriedly.

I was secretly awe-inspiring in my heart.

He practiced martial arts last night and deeply felt how quickly this exercise consumed the body's energy.

Without nourishing medicine, practicing three times a day is the limit, and that's while ensuring you're well fed. Four times a day?
This is indeed extremely undesirable, as the more you practice it the weaker you will become.

"That's not true."

Li Hu shook his head and said, “I just fell ill.

After all, this is a pharmacy and a clinic.

After he fell ill, Doctor Liu took care of him and he soon got better. He was also taken care of by his fellow villager Xu Hao.

However, I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but I feel that the relationship between the two of them is not very good.

One time, I came back from work early and heard them arguing. Xu Hao seemed to be forcing him to hand over something... Then a few days later, when we came back from work, we found that Li Pei was dead, dead in bed. "

"Huh? What?"

Chen Yushu was stunned and immediately had a guess in his mind.

"have no idea.

However, I do have some guesses.”

Li Hu couldn't help but lower his voice.

Chen Yushu couldn't help but look at him strangely.

Does he know too much?
Although he knew that Li Hu was a talkative person who couldn't keep things to himself, he blurted out everything when he asked him, which really made him admire him.

Of course, we have to be careful about any secrets in the future.

"Xu Hao and Li Pei are both from Xujiapo, and I am from Lijiapo, from a neighboring village. Counting back three generations, my family should be somewhat related to Li Pei's.

However, Li Pei's family had all died, so of course the relationship was severed.

But as far as I know, Li Pei's family is actually not simple.

You know the ghost walker, his grandfather is the ghost walker in Xujiaopo who specializes in dealing with those strange things.

I don't know whether it's really powerful or not, but it's really scary.

At that time, someone in our village asked his grandfather for help, saying that he used a ghost-possessed technique to directly invite the ancestor's spirit of that person down, and he explained a lot of things.

It is said that the interest was only one or two taels of silver.

However, just half a year ago, his grandfather passed away. I heard that he encountered an evil spirit."

At this point, Li Hu couldn't help but reveal a hint of fear on his face.

"evil?"

Chen Yushu frowned.

"It seems to be something scarier than ghosts."

Li Hu explained, and then continued: "His grandfather didn't hold on either, and died directly under the big tree at the entrance of their village. Then, over the next few days, many people in his family died one after another, and finally even alarmed the government.

The fight stopped only when officials arrived.

In the end, Li Pei was the only one left in the Li family.

And it was only when I was sent here that I learned that he had also entered the Liu family pharmacy.

But I didn’t expect that he would die just over half a month after I came here.”

Li Hu sighed, seeming to feel sorry for the other party.

"So, what is your guess?"

Chen Yushu glanced at the sky and saw that Master Qian Qian was about to arrive.

Although he has already mastered the basics of Medicine King Posture Training, the other party's Posture Training has reached a high level, and a few words of advice from him can greatly improve him, so he naturally will not ignore it.

"That Xu Hao must have taken a fancy to the Li Pei family's inheritance of the 'Yin-walking Man', as well as the magical instruments that his family might have hidden."

Li Hu said in a low voice.

"Ok?"

Chen Yushu was shocked.

The inheritance of the Yin people?
Magic weapon?
