Folklore simulation, starting with the mortician

Besides this taboo, what also made Li Feng's scalp tingle was what it meant to have "the acupoints on the skin not open".

Putting his mind at ease, Li Feng decided to wait until he had some free time to ask Mr. Lin for some advice, hoping that Mr. Lin might have some insights.

After about half a day, Li Feng saw the measuring craftsman leave. He heard that the craftsman was going back to prepare some materials before starting construction, and that the construction could not be rushed and that an auspicious day had to be chosen.

After all, it is the dwelling place of the righteous gods, so it is very particular about its environment.

Back in the room, they found Mr. Lin and Lu Junyi chatting, their conversation covering all sorts of topics. When they saw Li Feng, they both stood up without realizing it.

Lu Junyi then stepped aside to offer Li Feng a seat, but Li Feng waved his hand, not bothering with formalities, and simply sat down. He then asked, "Gentlemen, I have a question for you!"

"Speak, Master Chef, please speak freely. We're all your former colleagues, so ask us anything!"

Before Mr. Lin could speak, Lu Junyi stood up and patted his chest, but unexpectedly, the monkey squatting beside him suddenly opened his mouth, "All talk and no action!"

These words immediately made Lu Junyi blush. He quickly slapped the monkey and pushed it to go out. Unexpectedly, the monkey jumped, hooked its hand, and hung on the crossbeam of the roof, making faces and laughing at the group.

Li Feng didn't seem to care, and continued, "It must be something my master experienced before. What does it mean when someone says that the acupoints on this body are not open?"

Upon hearing Li Feng's words, Lu Junyi opened his mouth, but suddenly his tongue froze. He exchanged a glance with Mr. Lin and remained speechless for a long time.

Mr. Lin took a sip of tea and slowly said, "Young man, you're talking about a dead person, whose acupoints are closed. How can a living person's acupoints be closed?"

Li Feng was stunned when he heard this.

"Not entirely. I've heard of some experts in the underworld who have methods to close their orifices to evade the hunters of the underworld."

Lu Junyi did offer some clues, but he didn't resolve Li Feng's doubts.

"What if a person is born with their physical body's acupoints and openings blocked?"

Li Feng's question immediately silenced the two of them; they seemed unaware of the reason for this situation.

"Isn't that just a living dead?"

The monkey opened its mouth and said something.

Lu Junyi's face turned even redder. He didn't dare to mutter anything to himself, afraid that the monkey would sell him out again.

"It's not exactly a living dead, but walking in the mortal world under the bright sun, you never know when you might suddenly stop breathing and die. This could easily attract evil spirits and bring trouble to the underworld."

Mr. Lin expressed Li Feng's biggest concern: this was tantamount to walking in a gray area where neither side was in charge, and yet he was also getting into all sorts of trouble and breaking taboos.

"Is there any way to resolve this?"

Li Feng followed up with a question in a deep voice.

"A method? I've never heard of such a method before..."

Mr. Lin frowned, pondered for a long while, then his eyes suddenly lit up. "There is a method, isn't it in the method of the corpse-stitching craftsman? He can worship the righteous gods and stitch up the corpse god. There should be a way to connect the two. The alternation of yin and yang is the correct principle!"

After saying this, Li Feng's expression softened, and he stopped asking questions.

Finding an excuse, he pushed open the door and went back into the high room.

Li Feng added some donations and exchanged them for some skills. He hadn't fully mastered the skill of sewing to ward off evil spirits yet, and he didn't know why before, but now he knew that it was the donations that were causing the trouble.

It took a full ten taels of this donation to complete half of this method of sewing evil spirits and suppressing demons.

It didn't look like the previous craftsmanship, and it was quite different from the previous methods. Only after comparing the two did I understand some of the key points.

To Li Feng's great delight, the door crack evil-suppressing method actually contained records about the physical body.

The reason why these acupoints cannot be opened is that when a living person is taken away and their life is locked, they return to the mortal world and undergo this reverse process, hence the name "unopenable".

As Mr. Lin said, its drawbacks are such that it is intolerable in the living world and unacceptable in the dead world.

He is a living dead person who walks on the edge of life and death!

If one wishes to survive, one must sew together all the orifices to connect with the yin and yang, only then can one obtain great fortune.

Upon realizing this, Li Feng was taken aback, but suddenly understood some of his cheap master's dying words.

Why is seeking life in the profession of corpse sewing? It's something I can't leave behind, nor can I escape.

If one walks in the mortal realm and is exposed, one will inevitably be harmed by righteous energy.

Even after falling into the underworld, one still cannot escape the clutches of the underworld officials seeking revenge.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Feng decided to mend the acupoint first, since it was the foundation of his life.

According to this method of sewing up evil spirits and suppressing malevolent forces, the function of sewing up acupoints lies in building bridges.

Each bridge connecting the living and the dead facilitates travel and prevents it from being seen by any party.

The first step is to introspectively examine the hidden features, which are the acupoints and cavities of the body. Following the method, Li Feng examined himself step by step, and after a while, he actually gained some insight.

Then I saw the yin and yang sides hidden in the body, a total of 730 orifices. Upon closer inspection, I could also see the dark side, where a furnace was burning with fierce fire.

Seeing this, Li Feng was speechless. He then remembered that when Mr. Lin cut him, he wondered why he had already lit the stove.

Looking back now, I realize that this furnace was hidden here.

The purpose of this furnace is still unclear.

Taking a deep breath, Li Feng began to carefully consider the method for the first acupoint, as it was crucial to the subsequent mending process and required utmost care.

After about half an incense stick's time, Li Feng finally figured out the path to the first acupoint. Now that he had recovered, he was drenched in sweat, feeling extremely exhausted, and his face turned as white as a sheet.

Looking at the fire in the furnace, it had been completely consumed, but at least they had figured out the trick and were just waiting for the next step of mending.

With his mind at ease, Li Feng exchanged some more furnace firewood from the Tiandi Money Shop, hoping to collect some burning ingots from Lu Junyi who had come over, so as to make up for his own shortcomings.

After all, I've settled down here, so I should at least pay some rent. Besides, I even sewed that monkey on myself before!

Just as she was pondering this thought, she didn't expect there to be another commotion outside. Yu Yatou and Mr. Lin followed Lu Junyi out the door first.

After about half a day, Li Feng frowned and saw Yang Liuzi burst in, rushing in. He only whispered after bumping into Li Feng, "Master, something's happened! The craftsman who was supposed to do the measurements yesterday is dead!"

Upon hearing this, Li Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that something was not quite right.
