Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 18: The Method of Seducing Demons, First Escort (18 Two-in-One)

A filthy silver fox? Using demons to become a Taoist?
Just by looking at these words, Li Cunxiao felt an indescribable sense of weirdness, but the more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed.

"Human power is limited, but the power of demons is unpredictable and ever-changing."

"The way of martial arts is to use the flesh and blood of demons to refine medicinal ingredients, and take them to subdue the demon in your heart."

"Turning the void into reality, planting the devil in the heart, this is the beginning of martial arts, the beginning of inhumanity. Since the beginning of martial arts, it has been like this."

Hasn't it been like this since the beginning of martial arts?

Li Cunxiao looked at the owner of the secret book and his confident tone in the book, as if he regarded this method of demon cultivation as orthodox. When he thought about his own reaction after taking the demon meat, he immediately believed it 70%.

At the same time, he also vaguely understood why both the escort agency and the martial arts school were so secretive about the realm above qi and blood.

Because according to what this secret book says, if a warrior in the world wants to become stronger, he can only subdue the devil and refine the devil, or even plant the devil in his heart. In this way, the stronger the warrior, the more like a demon, right?
If this kind of thing gets out, how can the people live in peace?

He still remembered that the reason why the great General Huang Chao was so powerful and could stop children from crying at night was because there was news that every time Huang Chao attacked a city, if there was a shortage of food, he would use living people as military rations.

He didn't take it seriously at the time and even thought it was a rumor. But when he thought about it now, Li Cunxiao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"But if this is the only way to go in martial arts..."

"Alas, overthinking is pointless. I can only take things one step at a time. At least, I have the vajra with me, so I'm not afraid of turning into a humanoid demon."

Li Cunxiao knew that he was a typical person who thought too much and knew too little. Perhaps those famous sects had some method to control demons?

Swords and knives have no good or evil, but people have good and evil, and they cannot be judged by one blow.

Calming his mind, this time when he looked at the following sixteen pictures, he was not as casual as before, but read them carefully with a learning attitude.

This palm technique called Sixteen Hands of Pure Yang is, according to the book, a low-grade martial art.

The owner of the secret book did not say much about the specifics, but only emphasized that martial arts without seductive magic and corresponding medicated drugs are not up to par.

The principle of seduction magic is to use various extreme methods to push the warrior's body and mind to the brink of limit. Amidst internal and external attacks, one must maintain a clear mind and visualize the demon according to the visualization diagram.

The demon in the heart is a thought, not reality. The demon that has just been induced is just an illusion, between imagination and reality, and cannot react on the warrior's body.

At this time, a strong medicine is needed to induce the warrior's body to undergo alienation first, "using this extraordinary place to calm the devil."

When the demon resides permanently in the body and mind, the magic of seduction is considered complete, and the warrior breaks through the blood and enters the realm of muscles and tendons.

The so-called tendons are the abbreviation of tendons, bones, skin and flesh, which means that in this realm, the warrior's body will be strengthened by the power of demons. Or in other words, alienated?

"The Sixteen Pure Yang Forms are secret techniques for sexual intercourse, a method of cultivating both yin and yang."

"When luring the demon, one must find a virgin of 28 years old whose yin has not yet been broken. One must also take a poisonous drug to make one's mind wander and one's blood boil..."

The owner of the secret book described it in great detail, and for a moment Li Cunxiao almost thought he was looking at his uncle again.

After reading it critically, I can sum it up in two words:
Stop by an inch.

At the limit of physiological impulse, in the gap between heaven and hell, he tested back and forth to visualize the evil silver fox, a demonic species.

As long as you succeed, then from now on, Diao Chan will be on your waist, and kidney water will be like rivers. Cough cough, the so-called kidney qi will flow to your ears.

Upon completion, the warrior's hearing will rival that of a wolfhound. Furthermore, they will gain some of the enchanting power of the foul-hearted silver fox, and their appearance will become even more handsome.

But correspondingly, if even a tiny bit of Yuan Yang is leaked accidentally during the process of Inch Stop, then under the impact of the manic Qi and blood and the tiger and wolf medicine, the most vulnerable part may explode directly.

If you are lucky, you can become a eunuch, but if you are unlucky, you will die on the spot.

"hiss"

Li Cunxiao gasped in shock, and remembering Cui Yao's previous suggestion, he immediately understood why the other party said that failing to break through would be worse than death.

It's either a great success or a great failure. This is absolutely a magic skill.

He suddenly became more eager to obtain the internal training method and practice Tiger Form Fist.

"The fact that so many inner city family members are eager to learn this technique is enough to prove that Tiger Form Fist is the safest form of martial arts in Chuqiu County."

"It's just three escort missions. During this time, I can also accumulate the power of the vajra to break through obstacles. Once I obtain the Dharma, I will immediately break through and achieve amazing results."

"By then, even the Chief Escort would have to take my talent seriously, right?"

Thinking of the confidence the Vajra gave him, Li Cunxiao felt much more at ease. He hadn't had time to check it when he was dealing with the Green Snake Gang, so now was a good time to see how much the charge had increased.

In my mind, the lower part of the vajra was glowing with a faint golden light, and it had reached a little more than a quarter of the way up, almost touching the lotus seat.

A quarter, huh?
Li Cunxiao frowned.

Why only a quarter?

Before, Zhao Heishe only gave a quarter of the energy by himself, and this time he dealt with five people, so why is it not as good as before?

Five people are not as good as one person. Could it be that Zhao Heishe is some kind of hybrid between a human and a demon?
"No, I hadn't even learned martial arts at that time. Zhao Heishe didn't even put up much resistance before I killed him with a sneak attack."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to my mind.

Yes, when he killed Zhao Heishe, he had not yet learned martial arts and was just an ordinary person like the other party.

The people from the Green Snake Gang killed today were also ordinary people, but they had fought more and knew some rudimentary moves, while he himself was already a warrior who could control qi and blood.

After upgrading, will I get less experience by killing low-level monsters?
What about the demon meat?
Li Cunxiao did not dare to delay and hurriedly took out the two kinds of demon meat bought on the black market and tried them one after another. Half an hour later, he felt the blood flowing in his body and the steadily growing golden light on the vajra, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

After controlling the Qi and blood, the energy contributed by the demon meat was indeed reduced, but not significantly.

The raw demon meat is a little less than one-eighth, closer to one-ninth;

The amount of demon meat purchased by the Chaibang shop was about one-fourteenth, a little less than the previous one-twelfth.

Moreover, after the improvement of his Qi and blood, he could clearly feel that his body's ability to withstand stress had been enhanced. In other words, the container for Qi and blood was larger and more solid, and the amount of demon meat he could consume in a day increased from one tael to two taels.

In fact, he could have taken two taels a day, but after taking it, although his spirit would not be affected, the qi and blood in his body were too abundant to be dissipated. It would be embarrassing to force himself to work in the escort agency.

"There's still 1.4 jin of demon meat on the stall, and 9 liang of meat at the Chaibang shop." "Well, that's almost enough for another full meal."

"I just don't know how much the effectiveness of this demon meat will weaken after the small circulation of qi and blood. Demon meat... No, demons should also have grades, right?"

"The higher the level of the demon, the more evil energy should be contained in its flesh and blood. However, those street vendors probably can't get them. Do we have to go to the Chai Gang shop? That's the price."

Thinking of the price of thirty taels per catty, Li Cunxiao couldn't help but fall silent.

From this perspective, it would be a good idea to go on a few escort missions to save some money. After all, although murder and arson are good deeds, if you do them too often, you will definitely get into trouble.

He is still just a bodyguard now, not a leader, so it is better for him to keep a low profile.

For the next few days, everything was fine.

During the day, Li Cunxiao practiced stick techniques and stick formations with other escorts in the escort agency. When they were off duty, they would go out for a drink together to get to know each other. After all, they were companions who were going to escort the goods together, so it was right to maintain good relationships with them.

Although Li Cunxiao is not worth mentioning in Cui Wei's eyes, he is a standout among a group of bodyguards in their twenties and thirties.

He was only eighteen years old, but he had mastered the Qi and blood in less than a month of martial arts training. His companions were very enthusiastic.

After all, at their age, they are still stuck in the small and large circulations of qi and blood, and have basically given up the idea of ​​breaking through to perfection of qi and blood.

Especially for most people who have already started a family, most of them want to create good karma for their children.

What if Li Cunxiao is really recruited by the chief escort?
The young masters in the inner city are not within the reach of these men, but isn’t there one who is within their reach right in front of them?
But no matter how enthusiastic the escort is, once the internal training method is mentioned, he will immediately shut up and keep his mouth shut to the extreme.

Li Cunxiao couldn't help but secretly admire Zhang Lishi. It would take more than force to manage the escort agency to this level.

At the same time, with the help of the manager of the escort agency, Li Cunxiao also successfully found a satisfactory house on a street near the escort agency.

There are four rooms in the house: a storefront, a guest room, a bedroom, and a kitchen. Considering that his younger brother Mu Cha would occasionally come home, Li Cunxiao added some silver and built a small room between the bedroom and the kitchen next door.

Then, of course, he bought some furniture, spending about twelve or thirteen taels of silver. Fortunately, in this ancient dynasty, no one speculated on real estate, otherwise, it would take Li Cunxiao a long time to own a house of his own.

Afterwards, Mu Cha returned home and was indeed very happy. After Zhang Yuelu learned about this, she specially allowed Mu Cha to go home three times a month. Compared with other maids and servants, this was considered lenient.

Li Cunxiao didn't know that the other party had any intention of promoting him, but he continued to practice and eat meat. The energy of the vajra increased steadily, and it was only a little bit away from being fully charged.

It was not until the 15th of September that the first escort mission finally arrived.

"Brother Li may not know that as soon as the Wolf Gang found the Green Snake Gang's compound, they were immediately blocked by the fast-moving yamen runners who were out drinking."

"It is said that all the members of the Green Snake Gang were fed laxatives and then had their throats slit. Alas, these hooligans are so cruel and despicable."

Why bother talking about this? I am still frightened. If I think about being beheaded with my shit and urine all over the place, and being seen in such an ugly state, it would be better to end my life.

Li Cunxiao listened without any change of expression and echoed:
"Killing people is not the right thing to do. With such tactics, the Wolf Gang is definitely not a good thing."

"But I heard that the reason these two gangs fought each other was because of some secret manual. I wonder if it's true or not?"

"It's hard to say. This kind of thing is not uncommon. I guess it probably leaked from the black market. But even if the people from the Green Snake Gang got the secret manual, with their illiterate level, I'm afraid they would have difficulty understanding it."

"But the Wolf Gang has fallen into the hands of those cruel officials this time. They won't be able to get out of jail until they are skinned alive."

"This King of Hell is more difficult to deal with than the little devils. The clerks in the county government don't care about the truth of the injustice. I don't know how many people have been ruined by them."

When Li Cunxiao heard this, the last bit of worry in his heart disappeared.

The two talked as they walked, and when they crossed the parade ground and arrived at the side door of the escort agency, there were carriages, cargo, escort flags, escorts who were laughing and scolding loudly, managers who were urging them, and guys who were running around carrying cargo. Soon, this escort trip was about to set off.

"Brother Li, be careful on your journey."

Why bother bowing? Li Cunxiao was dumbfounded by his serious look and bowed in return:

"Don't worry, brother He. It's just a short trip. We'll be back in two days. I'll tell you about the interesting things that happened during the trip then."

"Better to obey than to be respectful"

The two talked for a few more words, and then Li Cunxiao turned around and went to the manager's office to receive the weapons and equipment for the escort mission.

Although the world was in chaos at the end of the dynasty and various prohibitions had gradually become meaningless, the Feihu Escort Agency did not require every member to be equipped with a set of iron armor and a crossbow.

It wasn't that Zhang Lishi didn't want to, but these military forbidden items were always very expensive. Furthermore, there were many people who wanted to establish their own empire, all vying for the artisans' resources. Chuqiu was, after all, just a small county.

A set of tanned cowhide half-body armor, an ironwood stick brushed with tung oil, and a machete, that's all.

Cowhide armor is made by splitting and connecting the leather after going through multiple processes such as dehairing, hardening, and painting. It is soft, close-fitting, and lightweight. It can be worn under a round-necked robe, providing concealment without affecting movement.

Even though it was just leather armor, unless it was pierced by a spear or arrow, it would not be penetrated by a sword or knife. And for fists and feet, the cushioning effect was even stronger.

The stick was also made of a hardwood called ironwood, coated with tung oil, making it difficult for an ordinary person to cut it with a knife. The two-meter-long stick was also wrapped with iron rivets at both ends, and a blow to the head would inevitably be fatal.

As for the machete, it is not a weapon, but is used to clear roads or chop wood. After all, the official roads of ancient dynasties and the asphalt roads of modern society are completely different.

When the escorts and the leaders were ready, the carriage carrying the goods slowly walked out of the escort agency.

For the Feihu Escort Agency, this was just an ordinary cargo convoy, so no important figures came here. Only the escorts' families came in groups of three or four to see them off.

Li Cunxiao was holding a long stick and walking on both sides of the escort car. Suddenly he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw that it was Mu Cha in the crowd with a red face, waving his hands vigorously. Not far behind him was the bored Zhang Que'er and several maids.

Qin Yu was also among the crowd.

He looked at his former roommate from afar. He was wearing a bright red headband wrapped over a black turban, a white narrow-sleeved round-necked robe, a leather belt, and black leather boots, looking very majestic.

Envy almost overflowed from his eyes.

Not long ago, everyone ate and lived together on a large bunk bed. But now, others can already join the escort, while I can only load and unload the goods on the escort vehicle.

Qin Yu secretly decided that when he returned from this escort mission, he would ask Li Cunxiao to teach him the experience of controlling Qi and blood, whether it was to treat him to a meal or give him a gift.

but
Qin Yu couldn't help but feel uneasy again when he accidentally caught a glimpse of He Bi in gorgeous clothes.

Would Li Cunxiao still be interested in the things that I can show off?
