True qi is not something that can be refined overnight, the general outline of the path of cultivation has five steps, building a foundation and refining oneself, refining and refining gas, refining gas and turning gods, refining gods and returning to emptiness, refining the void and combining the way, among which building a foundation and refining oneself is to achieve inner peace, so as to achieve the realm of 'sitting and forgetting to keep one'.

And refining and refining qi can be regarded as really starting to cultivate, also known as 'cultivating the truth', hundreds of thousands of Taoist disciples, in fact, there is no one in ten who can really refine true qi, and now there are many people who sell rune paper and magic tools outside, but most of them are people who sell fame and reputation, because Taoist priests who really have the ability will not spend their true qi to draw rune paper for sale, and the gains outweigh the losses.

This is called 'drawing a talisman without knowing the trick, but making the ghosts laugh, drawing a talisman if you know the trick, the ghosts and gods scream'.

Sun Siren didn't expect me to learn overnight, only told me the method, and I had to do the next thing myself, in the following time, I kept repeating the first three steps, and the last two steps never knew the trick, and after about an hour, the wind in my ears was a lot quieter, and I stopped.

In the middle of the day, the child time is the time of yin and yang, and the aura between heaven and earth is the strongest, so the louder the sound of the aura flowing is heard, and the aura becomes weaker later, so the sound heard is much smaller, which proves that it is not suitable for cultivation again, and it is time to rest, although it is not the time of the child, but it also proves that the aura has become weaker.

We meditated for a while, Liu Cheng and Zhou Xiaoan also returned to the Zhengyang Temple, Liu Cheng first went to the main hall to pay homage, Zhou Xiaoan also made a few salutes, Liu Cheng then looked at me and said, "Stinky boy, receive Zhou Xiaoan." Then he looked at Sun Siren, "Let's go, take me to have a look." ”

Liu Cheng's two sentences were very vague, Zhou Xiaoan is also an old acquaintance, and he doesn't need to receive him at all, he probably wants me to contain Zhou Xiaoan first, and he wants Sun Siren to go to see Su Daji's corpse.

I understood, and said to Zhou Xiaoan, "Sister Xiao'an, let's go around?" You must be the first time to enter the Taoist temple. ”

Zhou Xiao'an was grateful, and then I took her around the Taoist temple, and I introduced to her one by one the guest hall, dining hall, incense hall, and various rules of the Taoist temple, and the historical origins behind the various architectural statues of the Taoist temple, but I never took her to the room where Su Daji's body was placed.

Zhou Xiaoan listened with interest, I took her all over the Taoist temple, Liu Cheng and Sun Siren were not finished yet, Zhou Xiaoan looked at me and smiled and said, "Liu Xuan left me behind, and did tell me to let me monitor your actions and let me inform him of what you have done." ”

"And will you?" I stared at Zhou Xiao'an and said, sure enough, Liu Cheng was still prescient.

Zhou Xiaoan and I looked at each other for a long time, and then smiled, "Do you think I will?" ”

I shook my head, "I don't know, I don't know what Liu Xuan told you." ”

"He told me that in 1987, the reason why my parents were trapped under the Yellow River Tomb was precisely because there were other forces other than the Criminal Division interfering in the affairs of the Yellow River, this time they were on the one hand to explore the ancient tomb, and on the other hand, to rescue my parents, this is the last chance, there must be no outsiders to interfere, Liu Xuan thinks that your understanding and concern for the Yellow River Tomb has far surpassed other forces, and even beyond the Criminal Division itself, so he asked me to report your behavior to him, for the sake of my parents." Zhou Xiaoan said frankly.

I listened silently, Liu Xuan is a character, and I know that Zhou Rong and his wife will be used to contain Zhou Xiaoan to do things for him, and Zhou Xiaoan is very likely to eat this set, so I am not sure if Zhou Xiaoan will agree to Liu Xuan.

After a while, Zhou Xiaoan said bluntly, "In fact, I believe in you more than the Criminal Division, so you can rest assured, I will not be a traitor." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "We have already been to the Yellow River Tomb before, and we originally wanted to rescue your mother, but your mother sealed the passage of the tomb inside, and we can't open it for the time being, so we can only find another opportunity." ”

Zhou Xiaoan nodded, and said no more after that.

I stayed with her in the courtyard of the Taoist temple for a while, Huang Yunqiu came out and called me into the house, I looked at Zhou Xiaoan, Zhou Xiaoan said, "You go, I won't watch what I shouldn't see." ”

So I left Zhou Xiao'an and followed Huang Yunqiu to the room where Su Daji's body was stored, and when I entered the room, I only felt the cold air, the female corpse was lying quietly, Liu Cheng and they stood next to it, and when I walked to the side, Liu Cheng asked me, "What did she tell you before, you tell me as it is." ”

I then told me exactly what the female corpse told me along the way, and what happened to the person named Zhang Kui, and after I finished speaking, I said, "Su Daji, I know who it is, but who is this Zhang Kui?" ”

Liu Chengdao, "Zhang Kui is a general under Di Xin. Saying that, he glanced at Su Daji, and then said to us, "I have seen the document brought by Zhou Xiao'an, it is absolutely impossible that it was written by Di Xin himself, but the document written by someone else in Di Xin's name, and that document can take effect, which means that the person who wrote the document is Di Xin's trust or someone around him, this Zhang Kui is the most likely, Huang Yunqiu, you go to the tomb of King Su and the tomb of Daji next to Qishui now, Zhang Kui is very likely to be there, if possible, bring him to the Taoist temple, don't conflict with him, You are no match for him. ”

Huang Yunqiu should be fine, and then left.

Liu Cheng said again, "Su Daji's words can't be fully believed, if the reason why the descendants of the Protoss beheaded her is really just to prevent her from resurrection, they won't sew her neck again, wouldn't it be more direct to directly destroy the divine soul?" So she can only be half of what she says. He patted me on the shoulder, "Follow me to find someone in a moment, this person must know the secret of Su Daji's body." ”

"Who?" I asked.

Liu Chengdao, "A tailor, a tailor who specializes in sewing corpses, the thread on Su Daji's neck was sewn recently, and he should still be in Qi County." ”

I understand, this tailor is called 'second leather maker', also called 'corpse sewer', as mentioned before, the ancient people believed that only by leaving the whole corpse can they be reincarnated, so at that time, if a prisoner was beheaded, later generations would find a second leather maker to sew up the prisoner's body.

The general technique is not enough, the second leather craftsman has a special technique, which can sew up the severed soul, so that he can continue to be reincarnated.

Executioner, paper maker, two leather maker, and servant, these four professions were called 'fishing ****' in ancient times, relying on the dead to eat, extremely unlucky, generally few people are willing to associate with people engaged in such a profession, not to mention that in today's society, it is not easy to find such a person.

After Liu Cheng explained in person, he asked Sun Siren to pay attention to the female corpse, and then packed up with me and went down the mountain to find the so-called second leatherman.

It's just that Qi County is so big, and it's not easy to find someone here, so after wandering around for a while, I said, "Let's look for it so headlessly, can we find it?" ”

Liu Cheng said, "The second leatherman earns dead people's money, and the shop only opens at night, but now it is daytime, as long as you find a tailor shop that is not open, it will be easy to sift." ”

This is also a big project, and it took a while, Liu Cheng and I found a total of three tailor shops in Qi County that did not open the door, and asked Liu Cheng, "Which one should we find now?" ”

Liu Cheng directly pointed to the last tailor shop we found that had not opened, "This one." ”

I looked up and saw that there was nothing special about this shop, and I really couldn't see why I chose this one, and my face was full of question marks.

Liu Cheng smiled, "It's not just the living who are looking for the second leatherman to do business, many ghosts who can't be reincarnated will also find the second leatherman and let the second leatherman sew up his body, since it is a dead man's business, so there will never be anything at the door that can hinder the dead from approaching, such as stone unicorns, sticking portraits of door gods, hanging red lanterns, just a few of them, either pasted a portrait of the door god, or hung a lantern, obviously not, only this one, there is nothing at the door, it is very likely." ”

"I don't believe it." I say.

Liu Cheng then stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, a voice full of energy came from inside, "I won't do business today." ”

Liu Cheng said, "Please sir sew something special." ”

After a pause, he asked, "What's that?" ”

"Human skin." Yoo Seung replied.

Then there was a creak, and the door opened.
