I picked up a skewer of barbecued meat, turned the iron skewer, and found that the front and back of the meat were grilled differently, one side was a little burnt, and the other side was not yet transparent.

Practical and don't care about these, I threw off my arms and ate it, looking at his gobbling appearance, I thought that these meat skewers were just selling a little worse, and the taste should be good, but after eating a bite, I found that the taste was very ordinary, not particularly unpalatable, but not delicious.

Probably when I saw that I ate a bunch of food, I stopped moving my mouth, so I raised my forehead and asked, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

I glanced over the stove and saw that the cook was concentrating on the barbecue, so I whispered, "It doesn't taste good." ”

Practical also smiled: "It's really not good, but I've been thinking about this smell for many years." ”

I rolled my eyes inwardly and said, "You have such a unique taste." ”

Practical put down the iron stick in his hand, pulled out a facial tissue, wiped his mouth, and then he looked around for a while before he said to me: "More than ten years ago, I met the second master here. That was the first time I saw the face of the second master at such a close distance, and we were also sitting in this position at that time, the second master was sitting here and I was sitting there with you. ”

I said, "The second master won't take you to a better place to eat, why did you choose such a broken restaurant." ”

Practical smiled slightly, and said to himself: "More than ten years, this shop is still the same as it used to be, and the taste here is still the same as it was back then." I think that at the beginning, that is, the meal of the second master, let me regain my life, alas, in the blink of an eye, it was all so many years ago. ”

I was also curious for a moment, so I asked him: "Sixth uncle, what happened to you at the beginning, why did you come to Bohai Bay?" ”

Practical slowly moved his gaze to my face, I couldn't read his expression at this time, but vaguely felt that in his eyes, there seemed to be a trace of guilt.

After a long time, he spoke: "I came to Bohai Bay to atone for my sins. ”

I wondered: "Atonement? ”

Practical first nodded silently, and then asked me: "If not, do you know why the uncle killed Brother Feng Yu in the first place?" ”

I thought about it for a while and said, "I have heard the second master mention some things in the past, but the specific inside story is not very clear. ”

Practical asked me: "Did the second master tell you that the uncle was afraid that Brother Feng Yu would not be able to suppress his demonic nature, so he decided to clean up the portal." ”

How could he even know about such a thing? It is said that the entanglement twenty years ago should be a secret that the family does not pass on, although it is said that he is the son-in-law of the family, but for the family members, he is just an outsider, but why......

I was thinking so in my heart, and I spoke again: "Actually, the demonic nature in Brother Feng Yu couldn't be suppressed long before he left the family. ”

"Do you know my dad well?" I couldn't help but interject and ask.

Practical didn't seem to hear my words, and still said to himself: "Brother Feng Yu was wanted by the family, to put it bluntly, it was because of me. ”

I suddenly frowned: "Because of you?" ”

"This matter, it's a long story," Practical tilted his head, looked at the street lamp outside the store, and suddenly fell into a memory: "When I first met Brother Feng Yu, I was only thirteen years old, and that year, the family decided to choose two of the best conditions in the Bingzi Gate for support, and our Lingnan Shi family is one of them......"

Before changing his name, Shi Yong's name was Shi Yong, and his father gave him such a name in the hope that he could live this life plainly, without having to take into account the grievances and hatreds in the industry, but the decision made by the family back then made him had to come to the forefront.

He is the eldest grandson of the Shi family, although he is young, but because of his excellent talent and natural intelligence, since he was six years old, he has been vigorously cultivated by the Shi family, and only hopes that one day the Shi family can rely on him to rise again, but due to the embarrassing position of the Shi family in the industry, such training can only be carried out in secret, and no one in the industry knows that in the old Shi family in Lingnan, which has long since declined, there was such a talented young genius.

Later, in order to revive the past glory of the Bingzimen, the family was determined to support the Shi family, and the person who implemented this plan was my father.

That year, my dad had just turned double ten, but he had already collected three Netherworld Treasures, becoming a rare three-money yin difference in history, and that year, Shi Yong was still the young genius who had never seen the wind and waves.

At that time, my dad was ordered by Yu Heng to go to the Shi family to select a child and travel with him, my dad chose Shi Yong at a glance, and it was in that year that Li Honglu, that is, Zhuo Chenzi, also stayed at the Shi family, and my dad saw that he had a good relationship with Shi Yong, and his talent was also good, so he took him on the road together.

Practically speaking, from the beginning of 85 to April 87, the two years were the happiest two years of his life, at that time, he followed my father every day to the northeast and west, my second uncle Zhang Zuye, and the third uncle Sun Chuansheng also accompanied the same road, plus Li Honglu, a group of five people, the same hardship and wealth, like a brother.

They have been to the southwest, where they fought with the fox demon, and they also went to Mongolia, looking for the war book left by Genghis Khan, and also joined forces with the red-clothed lama in Tibet to restrain the blood corpse, in just two years, almost all over the north and south of the river, although there are countless dangers, but also happy, he even wants to go on like this, no matter how difficult the road ahead, as long as everyone is together, it will be very good.

But in April '87, everything changed.

At that time, they received the commission of Maoshan to go to Qilian Mountain to find an ancient corpse of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the specific process of finding the corpse was practical and did not go into detail, only said that at the beginning of April, it rained heavily in Qilian Mountain, and they found the tomb where the ancient corpse was hiding that night, and did not see the trace of the ancient corpse, but in the tomb, found a scroll written in large seal style.

The book is called "The Recipe for Longevity", and according to legend, it was written by the 5,000-year-old Shangxian Guangchengzi, and it records the secrets of making people immortal.

In the practical eyes, my father was supposed to be a person who had no desires, nothing to want, and few desires, but since he got that book, he has become more and more eager for quick success, and his daily practice has become extremely impetuous.

Soon after, Practical learned from my third uncle Sun Chuansheng that my father was obsessed with the book "The Recipe for Eternal Life" and wanted to use this book to obtain the immortal body of eternal life.

Feeling uneasy, Practical managed to steal the book and find a secluded place to study it all night, wanting to see what could make someone like my father go crazy.

But when he turned the first page, he found two large blood-red characters written on the back of the cover: Cult. Underneath these two words, there is a small note that reads: "The most evil and the most greedy, not for ordinary people." Although the wording is in the ancient style of literary language, it can be recognized at a glance, and it is my father's note.

It is said that being able to write such words shows that my father should be very repulsed by this book, and he should not be crazy because of him.

With such doubts, Practical began to read the contents of the book carefully, and found that on every page, there were small notes left by my father.

It is through these small notes that I know practically, my dad has been pressing the demon in his heart since he was born, and now the demon has become stronger and stronger, difficult to suppress, he wants to prolong his life through the secret of longevity, and thinks that he can get rid of the entanglement of the demon by getting the immortal body, but the methods given in the book, he will never use it.

I asked Practical, what exactly is written in the book?

Practically speaking, the "Recipe for Longevity" records that if you want to live forever, you must first use the blood of the Great Yin to nourish the epidermis, and then use the rolling corpse oil to pour the body, burn this layer of blood skin, and wait until the blood skin is melted away, and then grow a new skin, and you can get the immortal body.

In order to obtain the blood of the Great Yin, it is necessary to first kill two hundred newborn babies to take blood, and then raise ninety-nine powerful ghosts to inject the power of the primordial gods on the ghosts.

And the boiling corpse oil used to pour the body is, to put it bluntly, boiling corpse oil, and where this corpse oil comes from, it comes from the two hundred babies slaughtered earlier.

Such a ferocious technique, with my father's temperament, would not be used under any circumstances, so he wrote in the small note that in order to obtain immortality, it is necessary to find something that can replace the Great Yin Blood and Rolling Corpse Oil, and rely on them to exchange human skins.

Practical speaking, when he saw these small notes, the stone hanging in his heart fell halfway, in his opinion, as long as my father does not do all the bad things for Changsheng, no matter what he wants to pursue, he should support it fully.

But he also said frankly that after reading the whole "Recipe for Longevity", what worried him the most was not my father's state at the time, but that the book said that in the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a person who successfully obtained immortality, but after immortality, his temperament changed greatly, although the book did not say what the person became in the end, but from a practical point of view, the ending of this story is probably not a good ending.

My dad didn't know about him stealing "The Secret of Longevity", and then he took them to the north and south as usual.

In August of the year before my dad got the "Recipe for Longevity", my dad went back to his house for an important matter, and in the third month after returning home, news came from his family that my mother was pregnant.

For my soon-to-be-born son, my father was very concerned at first, and always wanted to take some time to go home and have a look, but after the appearance of "The Secret of Longevity", he put all his energy on the pursuit of immortality, and no longer cared about family affairs.

In May 87, my dad said that he was inspired to go to Qilian Mountain again, and it happened that my second and third uncles had urgent matters to go to Chongqing, so my dad said goodbye to them and only took practical and Li Honglu on the road.

Practical speaking, the second time he returned to Qilian Mountain, he saw the person he couldn't forget in his life, it was a thin old man, white hair and long beard, his face was like an eagle dog, practical didn't know his name, only remembered that he claimed to be a perfect Taoist.
