The world is like a prison, my body is holy

Chapter 83: Holy Body of Oxen and Horses (asking for monthly ticket)

Wang Wen and Chen Sandao wandered in the deep mountains and forests until dawn before returning to the Maoshan camp.

When they returned, many Taoist priests and soldiers were already coming in and out of the Maoshan camp. The man and the ghost blended in among the soldiers and officers, being completely inconspicuous...

"Brother, you are..."

Xu Ergou, an early riser, had been waiting outside Wang Wen's tent for a long time. From afar, he saw him carrying a calf-like sika deer on a spear, a few pheasants tucked on his waist, like a hunter returning with a full load. Puzzled, he quickly walked over to take the deer from the spear. "You didn't even sleep last night to go out and do this? When did you develop this hobby?"

Wang Wen rolled his eyes at him: "None of your business! Look how capable you are! You're even trying to control me!"

Xu Ergou was at a loss for words: "That's not what I meant..."

Wang Wen: "Stop talking nonsense. Take these wild game away to serve as a snack for the brothers. Prepare the deer antlers well and bring them back to make wine for your uncle. Cook the two deer legs and bring them to me..."

After saying that, he dragged his gun and was about to go into the tent.

"Hey hey..."

Xu Ergou quickly stopped him and said, "Brother, we still have a mission today!"

Wang Wen broke free of his claws with his backhand and said, "I've already completed our part of the mission last night. You can just lead the other brothers and just hang out with Master Ji."

Xu Ergou quickly said, "How can I do that?"

Wang Wen: "Don't be ungrateful, I'm giving you a chance to train you. If you can't handle this small group of people, how can you be an official in the future? Just think of it as going out for a stroll. If you find a soft persimmon, squeeze it. If you encounter a tough one, retreat. Anyway, don't mess with me at noon!"

After saying that, he poked his big head out of the tent again and said, "By the way, arrange for two reliable brothers to come over and stand guard for me. Don't let anyone in to disturb me without me making a sound!"

Just as Xu Ergou was about to reply, his head retracted into the tent.

At the right moment, Chen Sandao's head popped out from the ground, winking and saying, "Did you hear that? Don't let anyone in to disturb Big Brother's sleep!"

Xu Ergou's defense was broken: "You fucking..."

However, before he could finish, Chen Sandao's head retracted into the ground.

Xu Ergou: ...

Inside the tent, Wang Wen first hid the mourning stick, which had shrunk to a foot long, under his pillow. Then, he deftly removed his armor and roughly cleaned it. Then, he sat down on the bed, rubbing his hands impatiently: "It's begun, it's begun..."

Chen Sandao floated out from underground: "Brother, don't worry about your retreat, I will protect you!"

Wang Wen nodded, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and called out the City God's order.

Just see:

【City God of Jiangdu County】

[Achievements: 3624]

[Yin De: 383.4]

[Yin Shen: Night Wandering (+)]

【City God Temple: (Damaged)】

[Hundred Schools: Taiyi Rescue and Protection Sutra (First Heaven) (+), Black Tiger Fist (Perfect), Liuhe Spear (Reaching the Peak) (+), Iron Shirt (Perfect), Palm Thunder (Perfect), Canglan Nine-fold Waves (Sixth Heaven) (+]

"Snapped!"

Even though he had already looked through it many times on the way back, when he saw the numbers behind the merit points and Yinde again, he still slapped his thigh excitedly: "I knew this trip would definitely make a lot of money!"

In this harvest, the merit points came from the ghosts, while the virtue points came from the zombies.

Those ghosts and zombies are actually just small monsters and are not very valuable.

The only real treasures were the warrior zombie and the old ghost who could perform a trick...

But there are so many monsters!
With hundreds of ghosts and hundreds of zombies accumulated, the harvest is much greater than if he had gone to great lengths to defeat a big boss!

Of course, this was only because he had mastered the powerful technique of Crimson Palace Thunder, which was a natural way to defeat evil things, that he could defeat them so easily.

In the past, if he hadn't brought two or three hundred soldiers with him to protect him, he would definitely have walked around that den of evil...

This may be the benefit of pursuing power.

Back then, in the Liu family compound, a mere green-faced evil ghost beat him to the ground, making him run around crying for his parents.

But nowadays, he doesn’t even need a second move to kill that green-faced evil ghost!
After a brief excitement, Wang Wen began to count on his fingers how much improvement this harvest could bring him.

But it would have been fine if he hadn't calculated it. Once he did, his excitement and joy instantly vanished, and he revealed a mask of pain: "What the hell, what the hell, what the hell is this!"

However, after he made this calculation, he immediately came to the conclusion that the merits he had were only enough for him to upgrade "Canglan Jiudielang" once.

Last time, it took 144 points of merit to go from the fourth to the fifth level of "Canglan Jiudielang", and a full 432 points of merit to go from the fifth to the sixth level. Each level tripled the merit.

He still remembers these numbers vividly and unforgettably...

And if he remembered correctly, there was a threshold for every three levels of "Canglan Jiudielang". The first three levels were doubled, and the middle three levels were tripled.

That is to say, even if the last three levels are based on the most conservative 4 times per level, it will take 1728 merit points to go from the sixth level to the seventh level, 6912 merit points to go from the seventh level to the eighth level, and 27648 merit points to go from the eighth level to the ninth level!
27648 merit points...

Wang Wen felt his scalp tingling just thinking about this number!

But he was really reluctant to give up this martial art and practice other martial arts.

It’s not that I’m reluctant to give up that sunk cost.

But the essence of this martial art lies in the last three levels.

The Canglan waves are nine layers high and strong than the last. The nine waves overlap and rush down for thousands of miles!
In other words, if you want to truly unleash the power of this martial art, you have to cultivate it to the last three levels!

"Damn it, isn't it just 2764.8 ghosts and 1382.4 wronged souls? Go ahead!"

Wang Wen gritted his teeth and used his mind to press the glittering plus sign after "Canglan Jiudielang".

In an instant, countless insights flooded his mind like a river bursting its banks. He didn't even have time to take a look at the reduction number on the City God's order to see if it was really the 1728 points he had guessed.

Chen Sandao, who was floating in the tent, also heard the gurgling sound of water like a splashing stream coming from his body. Soon after, he saw thick white smoke rising from his head, and his face turned as red as a date...

"Awesome!"

He was dumbfounded and whispered, "You practiced so hard that you became consumed by lust. I'm willing to call you the number one in our Qinghe Gang!"

Wang Wen's breakthrough this time lasted for an exceptionally long time.

Near noon, the gurgling sound of water in his body gradually faded away, and his complexion gradually looked better.

"Gu..."

Not long after, a loud toad sound came from his stomach. He closed his eyes and spoke with difficulty, whispering, "Sandao, has Ergou brought any food?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Sandao quickly shouted outside the tent, "Shi Tou, bring in the deer leg!"

The curtain was lifted, and two armored Cao Gang disciples walked in steadily, carrying a food tray full of meat. They were not surprised to see Chen Sandao floating in the air, and nodded at him with a smile on their faces.

Chen Sandao pointed to the place where the two of them put down the food tray and asked in a low voice, "Have these foods been touched by outsiders?"

"Don't worry, we understand the rules."

"Brother Gou also specifically instructed..."

Chen Sandao nodded with a smile on his face.

The two men clasped their fists and left the tent.

After a while, Wang Wen, who had finally finished his work, could not wait to stand up. He rushed to the food table in two steps barefoot. He grabbed a large piece of boiled venison with one hand and tore into it with big mouthfuls. He was trembling as he gnawed...

Chen Sandao looked at his miserable appearance, like a starving ghost, and whispered in shock, "Brother, you... failed?" Wang Wen shook his head, chewing the venison in big mouthfuls and mumbling, "The reward for merit in the underworld never fails!"

"Doesn't that mean..."

Chen Sandao felt his mouth dry for some reason. "You are already... a Dan Jin master now?"

He had also practiced martial arts, and knew the pain of training in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, as well as the torment of practicing a hundred times but still making no progress...

Just by sitting for a while, one can directly leap to a higher realm, which is enough to make all martial artists in the world greedy, angry and crazy!
Wang Wen did not reply, but stretched out his empty left hand, pointed it like a sword, and gently drew a line at the deer leg bone in the soup basin, which was as thick as his arm.

With a "crack" sound, the deer leg bone, still attached to some tendons and flesh, broke cleanly into two pieces.

Chen Sandao's face was filled with envy, jealousy and hatred: "Exposing the energy?"

Wang Wen said nothing and just ate meat.

The so-called Dan Jin is to hold the strength to form a Dan, concentrate the strength of the whole body in the Dantian and condense it into a Dan, like the point when the universe was first created.

To achieve such a state, the quantity and quality of the warrior's energy, as well as the control over his own energy and meridians, must be extremely high!

In other words, aptitude, understanding, diligence and opportunity are all essential.

There are millions of people practicing martial arts in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Dan Jin is like a natural barrier that blocks 99.99% of the people practicing martial arts!

Half an hour later, Wang Wen threw down the last smooth deer leg bone with a clang and burped with satisfaction: "Finally alive!"

Chen Sandao looked at the bare bones on the table in shock. "Two deer legs, there must be at least 40 kilograms of pure meat, right? You ate all of it in one meal?"

Wang Wen picked his teeth and glanced at him with disdain: "Did I eat your rice? It's none of your business!"

"no……"

Chen Sandao circled around him, "Forty or fifty kilograms of pure meat! How did you manage to eat that? There's a huge hole in your stomach!"

Wang Wen said lazily: "I think there is a big hole in your brain."

At that moment, Xu Ergou's whisper came from outside the tent: "Brother, are you awake?"

Wang Wen: "Come in!"

The curtain was lifted, and Xu Ergou, wearing armor, walked in with a bloody smell, his face full of excitement, as if he had just met someone happy.

Wang Wen glanced at him and asked casually, "Why are you back so early?"

Xu Ergou replied timidly, "We've won a great victory, so naturally we'll withdraw our troops early."

"Ok?"

Wang Wen immediately became nervous: "How did you achieve such a resounding victory? Tell me in detail..."

Xu Ergou saw the food tray in front of him filled with bare leg bones and looked at Wang Wen in shock. However, he said nothing and turned to shout outside the tent, "Shitou, go get us some food! We're starving!"

Someone outside the tent responded, "Okay!"

Xu Ergou brought a small stool and sat opposite Wang Wen, describing to Wang Wen in a vivid and excited manner how they followed the large group out of the camp today, successfully found the scattered soldiers of the White Lotus Sect, surrounded and annihilated them, won a great victory, and seized a number of spoils of war.

Wang Wen listened to him quietly, but she slowly stopped picking her teeth...

Seeing this, Xu Ergou asked in confusion, "What's wrong, big brother? Is there something wrong?"

“I can’t tell…”

Wang Wen thought about it and shook his head: "I just feel that your operation today was too smooth!"

Xu Ergou was puzzled: "Isn't it good if it goes smoothly?"

Wang Wen thought for a moment, then slowed down his speech and said, "The White Lotus Sect is nothing like those idiots we used to deal with on the streets of Yangzhou. Few of those idiots had ever been to school, and they relied entirely on brute force to make a living on the streets. Of course, we had to be straightforward when playing with them."

"And the White Lotus, a well-known rebel, managed to survive the imperial court's crackdown. Do you think their leader is a fool? But think about it, what's the difference between the scattered White Lotus soldiers you encountered today and the fools we fought before?"

"We knew you were coming, but we didn't make arrangements or run away in advance."

"Even though I know I can't win, I still insist on fighting you to the death..."

"Your eyesight is even worse than that stinky beggar Qin Lao Ba!"

"Old Qin knows how to hold back his anger for now and then take things slow and steady."

"These people just foolishly watched them being annihilated..."

Xu Ergou felt that what his elder brother said made sense, but after racking his brains for a long time, he still couldn't figure out why the White Lotus Sect would send people to die: "Brother, what do they want by doing this?"

Wang Wen replied confidently, "I'm not the leader of the White Lotus Sect. How would I know what they're trying to achieve?"

Xu Ergou frowned, puzzled.

Wang Wen saw this and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Alright, these things shouldn't be the concern of us little guys. We just need to focus on how to bring these brothers we brought out back safely!"

After a pause, he gave a serious warning: "Ergou, you are no longer a guild disciple, but a fake Lingtailang of the Yangzhou Dusi Tianjian, an official. You must be more careful and cautious when encountering things in the future."

"You must always remember that just as you have brains, so do others. Whatever you desire, others may also desire it. Never assume that everyone else is a brainless idiot. Those who think that way usually end up falling flat on their face!"

His intentions were good.

It's a pity that his plan was a little too crude. Xu Ergou immediately realized: "That's not right. Big brother, you are the leader of our group. Aren't these things your responsibility?"

"I was just praising you for being smart, why are you acting stupid again right away?"

Wang Wen was heartbroken: "I'm already a Shaoqiu official. What's the point of worrying about all this? I can't just go back and ask Zhao Zhiling to get up and let me take his seat. And you haven't even started to get the position of Lingtailang yet. If you don't take advantage of this good opportunity to improve your skills, how can you hold on to it? I'll only let you take the position because we're brothers. If it were someone else, I wouldn't even look at him even if he begged me..."

Xu Ergou listened to him, feeling something was amiss. But he also felt his elder brother was right. If he missed this opportunity, where would he find a hundred men to command in the future? He couldn't even lead troops, so how could he hope to compete with those seasoned veterans of the Western Army?

Wang Wen saw the realization on his face and patted his shoulder with satisfaction: "It seems that my words have deeply touched your soul. Okay, work hard, I believe in you!"

Xu Ergou nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, I will definitely work hard and never lose face for you, big brother!"

Wang Wen wiped his hands and stood up: "Okay, then I'll go to bed. I have to go out hunting again tonight."

Xu Ergou: "Big Brother, you'd better be careful. There are stragglers of the White Lotus Sect everywhere..."

Wang Wen fell on the bed: "I'll take care of it, don't worry."

He closed his eyes and called out the City God's Order again to take a look.

I saw that there were still 1896 points left in the merit point column.

He took another look at the Night Wandering Realm, "Taiyi Rescue and Protection Sutra" and "Liuhe Big Spear" which still had the "+" sign on, and decided to upgrade them all without much thought!

If it were any other time, he might have chosen to do good deeds and get promoted first.

But at this moment, if he had a little more combat power, he could gain more money from this war. It was obviously not a good idea to do good deeds at this time.

As the Yin Spirit realm is elevated, the Taiyi Rescue and Protection Sutra can also be elevated.

As for the Liuhe Spear?

drizzle!
With a thought, the plus sign behind Night Wandering Realm sank, and 200 points of good karma turned into flowing water.

And the state behind his Yin Shen Barrier also became "driving away objects".

……

After nightfall, Wang Wen once again put on his armor, carried his rifle, and left the camp with Chen Sandao, changing the direction to continue hunting.
