Chapter XVIII

There are three places in the human body, the center of the eyebrows, the heart and the perineum, and every drop of blood in these three places contains the rich essence of the human body.

If blood is taken from one person, even if only one drop is taken from all three, it will also detract from the person's longevity of at least ten years.

Jinguang's method is to find 9,000 people, 3,000 people to take the center of the eyebrows, 3,000 people to take the heart, and 3,000 people to take the perineum, and only one drop per person.

In this way, the person who was taken blood will not be harmed, and he will be able to recover after ten days and half a month of rest, and he will not lose his life.

And as long as Zhou Zheng drinks a stick of incense after the blood is taken out, he can restore the Yuan Shen and completely return to the appearance of a living dragon and a tiger.

This method was the first to be approved by Steward Zhang. Isn't it just spending money to hire people? Not to mention that he still secretly has private money, even if he has no money, he must cure the young master's illness by smashing the pot and selling iron!

He was afraid that Zhou Zheng would spend money indiscriminately, so he only told Zhou Zheng that he kept 5,000 taels privately. In fact, when the old man Zhou Rensong was alive, in addition to the industry on the surface, there was also a small cellar dedicated to hiding money, which only the old man and him knew.

The silver in it is several times more than the family property on Zhou Jiaming's face, which is enough for Zhou Zheng to spend more than two lifetimes.

Therefore, without Zhou Zheng's consent, Steward Zhang immediately sent someone to post a notice, saying that the Zhou Mansion recruited people, even if they were not selected, they would give a hardship fee of 100 yuan.

This trick worked wonderfully, and without half a day's effort, a long queue formed at the gate of Zhou's mansion, which lasted for three streets.

Steward Zhang asked Master Jinguang to help clean a side room in a secluded courtyard for the master to use to collect blood.

Zhou Zheng vigorously opposed!

It's not because he has a good heart and is afraid of damaging people's bodies. Rather, he really couldn't smell the blood, he felt disgusting!

This time, even Ming'er stood on the opposite side of him, and at first she spoke softly to persuade him, and then simply threatened him that if he didn't drink, he would knock him out and give him a drink!

However, Ming'er still felt sorry for him, and prepared a lot of sugar, flavors and ice cubes to improve the taste.

That's right, the Zhou family has its own ice cellar, which stores a large number of ice piles all year round. Therefore, ice cubes, a rare thing that others can't buy with money, were used by the Zhou family many years ago!

Zhou Zheng saw that no one listened to him, so he could only lie on the bed in a hurry, let it go, and be at his mercy.

The conditions for the Zhou family to recruit are very relaxed, there is no limit to men and women, as long as they are not crooked melons and cracked dates, and they are healthy.

But there is another rule, the selected person cannot have anything to do with the young master of the Zhou family.

So what counts as a restraint? Hold your horses! The Zhou family made a special trip to invite a monk who attained the Tao, and he was in the courtyard, whether he was restrained or not, he only needed the master to take a drop of blood from everyone and test it.

As soon as this condition came out, many people retreated. Some people wonder if the Zhou family is doing something shady and deceiving everyone's blood?

However, Steward Zhang was not panicked at all, he had already prepared. He once again announced the further conditions for the Zhou family to recruit people.

First, only those who were preliminarily selected by the Zhou family were eligible to take blood for testing;

Second, as long as the blood is taken, no matter whether or not you can enter the Zhou family in the end, you will be rewarded with 500 Wen.

That's half a tael of silver! Moreover, take only one drop of blood! A group of people who were planning to quit at first hurriedly lined up again.

In order to ensure that the newly taken blood could be drunk into Zhou Zheng's mouth in a stick of incense, the monk Jin Guangda was also laborious.

It is required that after every 500 people gathered, blood will be collected once in a centralized manner. And he is very fast, often letting everyone form a circle, from the first needle to the last, and then when he picks up the bowl to receive blood, the blood of the first person who the needle has just flowed out.

After receiving it, let the family quickly send it to Ming'er who was waiting in the bedroom. Then Ming'er helped Zhou Zheng drink it.

In this way, I tossed eighteen times, and seeing that the sun was already in the west and the sky was dark, this vigorous farce came to an end.

The finishing touches are taken care of by Steward Zhang, who will handle it quite properly.

Monk Jinguang was also tired for a day, hastily used vegetarian food, and rested in the guest room.

Only the restless Ming'er remained, not knowing whether this trick would work or not, and still guarding Zhou Zheng, who was already asleep, praying for the Bodhisattva to appear.

In the middle of the night, a sudden wind suddenly rose outside, blowing the curtains and lights in the house.

Ming'er hurriedly got up and closed the window.

In a trance, she saw a big fish as big as a small house swimming among the clouds in the sky.

She opened her mouth wide in fright, but she couldn't make a sound, and watched the big fish rush straight in front of her from the sky.

Before the fish arrived, a strong sense of oppression had crushed her to the ground and she passed out.

Before she lost consciousness, she clearly heard the dragon's groan as the long sword came out of its sheath, followed by an angry shout: "Demon, dare to make waves, don't hurry up and arrest it!" ”

Where do you think you've heard this voice?

This was her last consciousness.

When she woke up the next day, she found herself sleeping in her own bed with the quilt still covered.

She hurriedly got up and ran into the back room. But where is the shadow of Zhou Zheng?

She was terrified! The young master won't be eaten by the big fish, right?

She hurried into the courtyard.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng was eating breakfast on the stone table in the pavilion, she was completely relieved.

"Young master, you, alright?"

"That's it!" Zhou Zheng's spirit is very good, and he seems to be more energetic than before his illness. And his body is full of power, and it feels like he can break a stone slab with one punch now.

"Come on, let's eat together!"

He asked the cook to add another pair of dishes and chopsticks, "This section is tired, right?" I saw you all asleep on the ground in the morning. Why don't you sleep more? ”

Ming'er opened her mouth, she really wanted to tell Zhou Zheng about her experience last night. But she was extremely unsure if it was a hallucination caused by being too tired.

Suddenly, she thought of Master Jinguang. The master is so capable, he must know a thing or two about yesterday.

"Young Master, Master Jinguang..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhou Zheng let out a long sigh.

"What a master! I wanted to thank him early in the morning, but who would have thought that he had left only a letter, and he had already said goodbye and left! ”

"Gone?" Ming'er was worried. The master's departure can't have anything to do with last night's incident, right?

"But it doesn't matter. The master asked me to go to Jizhou Puguang Temple to find him next year. I have discussed it with Uncle Zhang, and I will definitely prepare a heavy gift at that time, thank you and thank people! Let's see, why don't you come with me? ”

"Great!"

Ming'er was sold into the Zhou family since she was a child, and she has never been far away, even from the county seat.

Now, to be able to go to such a far place, and to accompany the young master, she couldn't be happier!

For a moment, she completely left the suspicions of last night behind.
