I want to say that Master is unwilling to teach me the third Yin Gong method. But I made up my mind to learn ghost food from Jin Dascoop, so that I can become a chef in the ghost market in the future! What to do?

Naturally, I hit the idea to the makeshift vendors in the ghost market. Those stalls sell everything, and all kinds of mysterious, foul-hearted, and horrific things can be found in them. A book of Yin Gong cultivation exercises, presumably someone should also sell it!

In tonight's ghost market, I took advantage of the fact that there were fewer customers in the Yuanbao Building, so I asked Jin Dasco for an hour off and made a special trip to the temporary stall area to have a look. I've been in this ghost market for almost two years, and the stall owners who come there know me. I skipped the props, pills, corpse oil, and various animal organs, and went straight to the stall owner who sold me the remnants of the talisman last time.

The stall owner finally seemed more normal, and he mainly sold some books, talismans, and talisman paper. However, although the things he sells on the surface are very serious, they are not formal at all, and many of them are even "contraband"!

For example, there is such a book on his stall: "Inverted Bucket Skills". I picked it up and flipped it over, and it actually introduced a variety of techniques for fixing holes, exploring tombs, demolishing walls, and opening coffins, which were easy to understand and operational! This kind of book, not to mention, is impossible to buy in a bookstore outside, even from a bookseller hiding in a street stall.

There is also a book "The Secret of Ghost Hunting", which details in detail the shelters that various wandering spirits and wild ghosts like to find, such as the roof beams of tiled houses, in the ditches of residential areas, and the clay pots buried in the ground, etc., which is suitable for the majority of Yin cultivators and Taoist cultivators to refer to and learn from when catching ghosts, and it is also a very practical reference book.

Another book, "I Fell in Love with a Female Ghost", is a rare romance novel, the author based on his own personal experience, describes the male protagonist encounters a beautiful female ghost, and then falls in love with a ghost and a ghost, starting a love story of people and ghosts separated by yin and yang, tactful and sad. Living people buy it out of curiosity, but occasionally a few female ghosts come to buy it, just to pass the lonely days in the underworld.

What piqued my great interest was a "Atlas of Resentment". In the book, a ranking is made according to the density and intensity of grievances on various ghosts, and several levels are artificially delineated: transparent ghosts, white ghosts, gray ghosts, green ghosts, black ghosts, ink ghosts, powerful ghosts, and ghost kings.

In the book, it is said that transparent ghosts are ghosts that have just died, and their souls have left their bodies and begun to take shape, so there is no resentment. The resentment of the white ghost is as faint as a thin smoke, and it is an ordinary reincarnation ghost or tomb ghost. Grey ghosts are slightly heavier in color and are the most common ghosts. Among the naturally generated ghosts, the highest level can only be, and the resentment is thick and the resentment is extremely deep, and if you accidentally run into it, it is very difficult to deal with.

And above the ink ghost, it must be formed through the cultivation of ghost exercises, and it already belongs to the category of ghost cultivation. The resentment accumulated after the cultivation of ghost cultivation is renamed ghost qi, which is roughly equivalent to the yin power of yin cultivation, or the mana of dao cultivation. Above the ink ghost is a terrible ghost, extremely brutal, extremely dangerous, and terrifying. The highest level of ghost creatures is called the Ghost King, which is a fierce creature that is not born in the world, and once it is born, it will always bring a catastrophe to the world!

But these books are just miscellaneous books after all, and they are not what I want at all. I rummaged through the stalls, but I couldn't find a single book on the exercises. So, I went to ask the stall owner, "Boss, do you have any Yin Gong exercises for sale here?" ”

When the stall owner heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "That one is not for sale!" ”

"Why don't you sell it?"

The stall owner gave me a big roll of the eyes at this time, and sneered: "Want to learn Yin Gong? There's no such thing as being self-taught! If you want to learn, hurry up and find a master to apprentice first! ”

I saw that he had a bad attitude, and it was boring to ask him any more, so I left. But then I went around again, and I didn't find any other stalls selling books on Yin Gong exercises. What can I do?

At this time, just as I was scratching my head helplessly, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure hiding in the corner: the ghost knows!

Since I beat Xiao Jiuhe away last time, I can still see ghosts in the Xiling Ghost Market. However, if I don't go to him, he won't take the initiative to provoke me, and every time he appears, he still sets up his stall as usual and sells his gossip. But this guy can say it himself, and he still owes me a big favor! At this time, why don't you go to him and ask?

I had a certain idea, so I walked straight to the ghost. He had just finished receiving a strange guest, and he shoved handfuls of cash into his pockets. The guest didn't know what he was asking, but he was so willing to spend money? However, after he finished asking, he wiped his sweat and left the ghost market worriedly.

The ghost knew that he had collected the money, and when he looked up and saw that it was me, the corners of his eyes seemed to twitch slightly. I sat down in front of him casually, smiled at him kindly, and said, "See you again!" ”

Perhaps it was my attitude that lowered the Oni's vigilance, and he quickly returned to his normal state and asked in a calm tone, "What does this guest want to know?" ”

"I'm not here to ask questions, I want to buy something."

"What do guests want to buy?"

"Exercises."

"What exercises?"

"Yin Gong Exercises!"

The ghost frowned, and asked me again, "Aren't you perineal?" I know you have a master, and you're quite famous! ”

"You don't care! Just ask if you have any for sale? ”

"Nope."

"Can you get me one?"

"I'm afraid not."

This time it was my turn to frown, and I said unceremoniously: "What if this is a request to return the favor?" ”

The ghost sighed and said helplessly: "Do you have to pay it back in this way?" ”

"That's right!"

The ghost was silent for a moment before he said, "In that case, I'll find a way to get you a copy." But I have three things to tell you beforehand! ”

"What three things?"

"First, it's a bit tricky. So I've found you exercises, and the favors I owed you before will be repaid! ”

"This is nature!"

"Second, this kind of thing is very taboo. After you get the exercises, you can only practice in private, and you can't reveal them to others by the way! ”

"That's fine. Don't worry, I'm not going to give myself anything to do! ”

"Third, I still have to charge you some money."

"How much?"

"Eight thousand!"

"Eight thousand?"

I immediately blackened my face, knocked on the table and said, "Hell, you are not authentic!" I don't want your original, original, or ancient or treasured book, you can just copy or make a copy of it for me! ”

The ghost smiled bitterly and explained to me, "This little brother, you don't understand the difficulty here! The exercises of these Yin Cultivation Sects in the provincial capital are relatively easy to get, but if I give it to you, you will be mixed in this ghost market yourself, and it will be easy to expose the stuffing! So for the sake of safety, I have to go to Yin City, and it will cost a lot of money to come and go! ”

"Where the hell is Yin City? How to get there? I heard him suddenly mention that mysterious place, and I asked.

"That's another question!" The ghost was very alert, and immediately shook his hand and refused to answer, "I don't dare to tell you casually, otherwise I will be annoyed myself!" ”

I can't help but be a little annoyed at this time, this ghost knows how to find all kinds of excuses to shirk me, and obviously doesn't take me seriously! I knew that I should have cleaned up this uninteresting guy last time, and I let him go too easily!

I pinched my chin and was still thinking about it, should I make up my mind to spend 8,000 yuan to buy this kind of exercise, which I don't know if it is reliable or not? The ghost may have seen that my face was wrong, and thought that I was thinking of some bad idea to deal with him, so he gave in first.

"Forget it! Never mind! He made a sad look and said to me, "We don't know each other anymore!" I'll give you a discount, how about four thousand? ”

"Deal!" I knocked on the table again and exclaimed decisively.

The first time I used the chopsticks in my hand, it was amazing!

Mustache and I were tasked with catching the three imps hiding in the sewers of the hospital. These three imps are born from the souls of young babies who died in a hospital delivery room. At first, there was only one, and before it was enlightened, it wandered around the hospital every night and hid in the sewers during the day, without attracting much attention.

But recently, the delivery room was unlucky, and there were two little ghosts in succession. Two in a row, three in a group, and with playmates, the three imps were playing around the hospital every night, making a lot of weird noises and breaking things, scaring doctors, nurses, and hospitalized patients.

These little devils are poor little guys, and naturally they can't be beaten. Even the mustache was reluctant to put down his heavy hand, and as soon as the peachwood sword lightly touched one of them, the little ghost burst into tears, making people unbearable to catch it again. So, the imps caught and sought with us, and finally hid in the sewers.

Mustache and I opened a few manhole covers before we finally found the three imps. They hid in the stinking sewage and made faces at us, did they really want to jump down and catch them? At this time, the mustache proposed to guess the boxing, and whoever loses will go down!

I flatly rejected his bad idea and took out the pair of wishful chopsticks. I stood on the ground, stretched the long-grown Ruyi chopsticks into the hole, and grabbed the three imps one by one like dumplings.

When the mustache saw it, he was particularly surprised. He asked me to ask for Ruyi chopsticks to look at, and said enviously: "Xiao Zhai, your chopsticks are a good thing!" ”

"Of course! This is the treasure at the bottom of my master's box! "I said triumphantly.

"Why haven't you used it before?"

"I only begged him to give it to me when I went back for the Spring Festival this year!"

"Your master is good to you! If only I had such a treasure artifact! ”

"I can't use it with you, this is a special magic weapon for Yin cultivation, and your Dao method doesn't work!"

"Alas, that's a pity!"

Speaking of which, I remember one thing I've always wanted to ask about the mustache. The last time I saw him dealing with Xiao Jiuhe's little ghosts, he tossed and turned, and he dealt with it easily, obviously learning some swordsmanship moves. So, I asked him, "Lao He, where did you learn your swordsmanship?" ”

"This is also the Taoist heritage. When I was apprenticed, I learned the Tao and the swordsmanship at the same time! ”

"Can you teach me too?" I smiled flatteringly.

"Can't!" The mustache laughed and said in denial.

I couldn't help but scratch my head in disappointment when I heard him say that. When the mustache saw me like this, he asked, "Why did you suddenly remember to learn swordsmanship?" ”

I took the Ruyi chopsticks, turned them into a pair of wooden maces, and showed them to the mustache: "In addition to holding ghosts, it can also defend itself." But I don't know how to use swordsmanship, so I can only use it like a burning stick! ”

The mustache said: "Since it is a magic weapon passed on to you by your master, he will definitely know how to use it himself, why don't you ask him to teach it?" ”

"He said he wouldn't!"

The mustache laughed again, "Isn't it funny that the person who holds the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slayer Sword doesn't know swordsmanship and knife skills?" ”

I couldn't refute it, but I couldn't laugh either: "Have you finished laughing, why don't you hurry up and give me a trick!" ”

The mustache laughed, but shook his head and said, "I see that your chopsticks don't look like swords when they get bigger, but like sticks, and you don't need to learn any swordsmanship." ”

"So what should I study?"

"It's easy! You don't really need to learn any peerless martial arts, just know some practical moves. I know there's a good place for you! ”

"Where?"

"Let's go, I'll take you to see it now!"

The good place that the mustache said turned out to be a gym opened by a retired instructor of the police academy. However, it is not taekwondo, karate, or martial arts routines that are taught here, but the most practical grappling techniques!

The instructor's original intention to open the gym was to recruit some casual fans, as well as mixed martial arts fans. But these two are too niche after all, and the tuition fees for recruiting these students alone cannot maintain the normal expenses of the gym. Later, he was approached by some local security agencies to offer some practical police skills courses. So, he taught some basic stick techniques at the same time.

The police stick method is divided into two types: short stick method and long stick method, which correspond to the use of telescopic batons and explosion-proof long sticks, respectively. The short stick method is suitable for close combat, and there are not many tricks, but it is simple and practical. Blocking is to use a two-handed stick to put on the shelf and block the opponent's top-down attacks; Volleys are also mostly used for defense, one-handed sticks to open the opponent's attacks from the middle or both sides, or directly hit the opponent's hand with a murder weapon, defending the center with an attack; Slashing is the most commonly used attack move, which is subdivided into upper slash, oblique slash and horizontal slash, and also distinguishes between forehand and backhand; The last trick is called the triangle lock, which puts the short stick into the opponent's arm and elbows to the back of the opponent to strangle it, forming control and then arresting.

There are even more tricks in the long stick method. Attacking, pointing, poking, splitting, blocking, sweeping, teasing, horizontal and blocking, etc., and defending, picking, dialing, putting on the shelf, and blocking. Most of these police stick methods are simplified and refined from martial arts stick and marksmanship, which is more practical and effective.

In addition to sticks, instructors also teach footwork: lunges, horse steps, progression, regression, flash steps, and more. As soon as I came into contact with these programs, I was so intrigued that I paid the tuition fees. After that, I came to the gym twice a week for four lessons, and I made rapid progress in my mental studies. In this way, I finally learned some self-defense techniques in a proper way. Coupled with the Ruyi chopsticks that Master gave me, I will have the ability to defend myself when I encounter some fierce ghosts and evil ghosts in the future!

The efficiency of the ghost is really high. Three days later, when I went to his stall again, he simply brought me a book. The cover is blank, and it is actually a book of "nameless exercises"!

When I opened the book, the words in it were all hand-copied, but there were cultivation mantras from the first to the seventh, and it really looked like that.

I asked him, "Who copied this exercise?" ”

"I copied it myself!"

"Why don't you have a name for the exercises?"

"You forgot, I can't tell you this!"

"Is the content in this reliable?" I wondered, "Is there anything I missed?" Cultivating a broken method is going to kill people! ”

The ghost knew the right color and said: "I have been doing business in this ghost market for many years, you can rest assured of my reputation!" ”

"Okay. But after all, if the effect of cultivation is not good, I still have to come to you to return it! ”

"You don't have to worry about this! This exercise is a quick-forming exercise, which is easy to understand, and you will be able to cultivate it soon! ”

I flipped through it again, but I couldn't find any flaws. However, now that I've decided to take a different path, it's unavoidable. Whether the effect of cultivation is good or not can only be known after cultivation. I gave the final payment to the ghost, stuffed the nameless exercise into my underwear pocket, and returned to Yuanbaolou to continue working.

After the ghost market ended, I hurried back to my rented place. Tonight, Han Jie knew that I was going out in the middle of the night, so she went back to the dormitory to sleep, just leaving me a chance to experiment alone.

The ghost still fooled me! Compared with the Guishan School mantra taught by my master, the cultivation mantra recorded in that nameless exercise book is definitely a little more awkward, and it is very obscure. But fortunately, I already have a foundation, and I can find some ways to practice by myself.

Practice is gradual. Therefore, even if my current Yin Gong cultivation has reached the second level of perfection, if I want to cultivate the third level of the Nameless Exercises, I still have to start practicing the first level of oral determination. It took me a month to master the first level of the nameless exercises, and then it took me another three months to learn the second level. By the time Han Jie graduated from her junior year and went on her summer vacation, I had just started to practice the third yin gong.

At this time, the effect of the nameless exercise gradually became apparent. I feel that the yin power stored in my dantian is increasing dramatically, and I am becoming more comfortable when cooking ghost meals. Jin Da Spoon also noticed my progress, praised it many times, and taught me a few new dishes of ghost food.

I was quite proud that I had made the right decision to take the plunge and that I had finally achieved the desired results. My dream of becoming a chef in Yuanbao Building seems to be just around the corner!
