As the sky slowly brightened, the demon went ashore and walked along the road, hoping to meet someone and ask where he was? At night, the visibility was so low that he could not see the shore clearly, and the demon did not know where he had drifted along the river.

The demon finally asked where he was. This location is already 30 miles away from Yang City, and 30 miles is nothing for a demon, that is, 2 hours away. The question is: you can't go back the way you came, you have to make a big circle, what if you run into those 2 trackers?

The demon thought, "Back to Yang City, it's impossible." I don't know who the stalker is. What if they block me at the gates? Can't go into town. It's okay to go back to Surabaya City directly, but the problem is that my spirit hammer still has a bunch of rags that I haven't taken out, and it's still in the city. You have to take these things before you can go back to Surabaya City. Find someone to inform Zhao Laosan to bring things out. Who are you looking for? You have to find someone who is a little reliable and Uncle Zhao knows. ”

"Yes. Didn't I buy refined charcoal ore near Yangcheng, I left a guard, I know Zhao Laosan, just let him talk. ”

The demon's makeup had long been soaked in the water, so he recovered to his original state, sorted out the things in the belt, quietly touched his refined charcoal mine, and told the guards to inform Zhao Laosan to bring his spirit hammer and skin, as well as a bunch of rags. The guard looked at the demon, I knew, the boss, and nodded in agreement. After the guards left, the demon chose a high place that was not easy to be found and observed the direction from which Zhao Laosan came.

Zhao Laosan came with the demon skin, the spirit hammer, and a bunch of rags, the demon observed Zhao Laosan's back, confirmed that there was no tracking, and met with Zhao Laosan and sent the guards away.

Zhao Laosan said: "You didn't come back all night, and there is no information, I'm worried." ”

The demon said, "I'm being followed. I don't know who it was? It took me a night to get rid of them. ”

Zhao Laosan said: "I don't know who it is?

The demon said: "The two of them are both intermediate cultivators in the Essence Movement Stage, if they can't be beaten, it's good to be able to run away." ”

Zhao Laosan said: "You are really lucky, you ran away." You say what happened, and we analyze it. ”

The demon told Zhao Laosan all the details.

After listening to the demon's narration, Zhao Laosan said with certainty: "It was the Qinglin Sect's Twelve Meridians and Three Yang Yun Jing Books that caused the trouble." This type of book can be said to be unique. There is no need to think about it, it must not be the thieves in Surabaya City, and it is not possible that the helpers found by the 8 bandits, it should be the relatives and friends of a man and a woman who were killed by the 8 bandits. "Zhao Laosan has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, and the demon is still a little tender. Zhao Laosan saw through the essence at a glance.

The demon asked, "Why did the auction house pay me the silver for the auction of the Qinglin Sect's Twelve Meridian Hand Three Yang Yun Jing Book? ”

Zhao Laosan replied: "One may be to put a long line to catch a big fish, by following you, fall out of your accomplices; It's just that I didn't expect you to be too slippery and underestimate you, and in the end, these people will definitely regret their death. The second possibility is that they don't have all the staff, and they can't be sure if you have any helpers near the auction house, and you are very vigilant, and you can't arouse your suspicion, so they choose to give up capturing you alive and follow you. ”

"It's been almost a month since the man and woman disappeared, and the family must be in a hurry. But we can't tell them what happened, and they won't believe it, they'll think we did it. This good guy can't do it. It will only bring us disaster. This man and woman are so rich, they must be from some family, the children of famous families, and the family relationship must be very strong. We can't afford to mess with it. This can only be done as if it never happened, and all traces will be erased. ”

"This man and woman's family will definitely mobilize all kinds of relationships to find people, and if they can't find anyone, they will look for things. Among the items carried by the man and the woman, the book of the Twelve Meridians and Three Yang Fortune Essence Books of the Qinglin Sect is valuable and unique, and if the person who gets this book can't practice it himself, he will sell it. Just say hello to the auction houses and underground auction houses and pay attention to this book, and you will find clues. That's why I'm asking you to be careful when selling books, and to wear makeup. The black market is impossible. The items traded on the black market are all under 10,000 taels of silver. The headscarf, boots, and belt should all belong to the same man and woman, but this thing is not unique, even if it is marked, you should be careful. ”

"And will the silver ticket I got at the auction house today be marked?" the demon asked.

"I don't know how to mark the silver ticket, but be careful. Zhao Laosan replied.

"I've already auctioned off the hijab. I won't go to that auction house again, it should be fine. It's boots, belts, and 4 feminine items sent back to Surabaya City. How to deal with this. The demon Jianghu was inexperienced and asked, "There should be nothing wrong with the pill." If you can't do it, eat it. ”

"This belt is really good. But it still has to be disposed of. Zhao Laosan said: "You definitely can't go back to Yangcheng, and you can't go back to Surabaya City directly." Let's go to Hanshan City together, Hanshan City is in the southwest of Yangcheng, more than 100 miles away from Yangcheng, and it only takes 1 day and one night at most to arrive. Then you turn northwest and you can go back to Surabaya City. I took care of the boots and belt in Hanshan City, and the silver ticket can be changed a little first to see if there is anything abnormal. When you go back to Surabaya City, hide those few feminine items. After we deal with it like this, there should be no traces. Oh, my dagger has to be disposed of too. ”

"You can't take this kind of rag with you, I'll still leave it at the point of sale. I'll send it to you when it's time to send you charcoal. Zhao Laosan pointed to the rags that the demon spent more than 4,000 silver to buy.

"These rags cost more than 4,000 taels. You take it back and put it away, don't throw it away. The demon said distressedly.

"You wait here, I'll go back and say hello to Zhang Ben and ask him to look at it first. I stopped by to buy something to eat and brought the big and small yellow over. ”

"Okay. And those boots with me. The demon reminded.

The tatters of the demon were carried by Zhao Laosan, and then carried back.

Two hours later, the demon, Zhao Laosan, and the two yellow orioles went south together. "Strength is the last word, it can save your life. If you are at the level of a strong person, why should you be afraid of those 2 trackers. I have to wander. The demon thought to himself.

The demon walked in front, and Zhao Laosan followed behind the demon, about 400 meters away, to observe whether there were any people following the demon. The two kept changing their way of walking: walking, renting a carriage, taking a boat, hiring a pack horse to ride, and Zhao Laosan kept observing from a distance of about 400 meters behind the demon.

As soon as it was dark, the demon spread his legs and ran, and it was not until 12 o'clock in the evening that the two found a shack and took turns to sleep at night. As soon as the morning dawned, the two began to walk for the first day again, until 5 p.m., when the two arrived outside Hansan City.

The demon didn't enter the city, and the two broke up. The demon carried his own backpack and rented a carriage with Xiao Huang to travel to Surabaya City.

Zhao Laosan repeatedly told the demons: "Show up less, take more cars or boats, and don't deal with people." After returning to Surabaya City, I will also go deep and concise, and I will talk about it for half a year. ”

Zhao Laosan went into the city to find an inn, and waited until the evening to put on makeup and went to the auction house to hang out the boots, short sword, and two empty belts together. At the same time, he used the silver ticket obtained from the auction of the Qinglin Sect's Twelve Meridian Hand Sanyang Yunjing Book that the demon gave him, plus 2,500 taels to buy the Tongxue Pill, two Tongmai Pills each. Zhao Laosan thought to himself: "This thing is not easy to check, and the demon can use it." ”

On the third day, Zhao Laosan received the 22,000 taels of silver tickets for the auction of short swords, belts, and boots, so he left Hanshan City non-stop and returned to Yangcheng in a circle.

The demon returned to Surabaya City smoothly, and he didn't find anyone following.

There are still two days before the start of the Surabaya City Academy, and the demon returns to his own home in Surabaya City, not caring about Sun Yangyang to pick up the wind for himself, and immediately goes to the post station to retrieve his package, which contains 4 female items of a man and a woman, and has to be dealt with immediately.

The demon began to decorate the house the next day, and the house was divided into three parts, the outermost part was the pavement. There is a small patio in the middle, two wings on both sides, a kitchen and thatched room, a wing room made into a casting and forging room and a storage room, and the innermost room is a house. The demon put 4 pieces of feminine products into a jar, sealed them, used them to decorate the house, and buried them in the ground of the house without Sun Yangyang. Sun Yangyang didn't know that this thing was the best. Sun Yangyang knew about this matter, it was just a bad thing for Sun Yangyang, not a good thing.

The demon welcomes the opening of the Surabaya City Academy with a new look.

While waiting for the start of school, the demon continued to study Taoist books.

In the process of cultivation, the demon has passed many experiments and understood the "Lu Zu Hundred Character Tablet": Forget to keep your words, lower your heart for nothing, know the sect master when you move, and find someone for nothing. ".

The demon named the "Tao Te Ching", "Nanhua Sutra", "Chong Xuan Zhen Sutra", and "Yin Fu Jing" as "quiet, void, bright, and nothing";

The "Lu Zu Hundred Character Tablet" talks about "forgetting to keep your words, lowering your heart for not doing, knowing the sect master when you move, and looking for someone if you have nothing to do." It is named Intermediate Cultivation Status.

Guarding the dantian with the idea of his own martial arts book is "keeping one", and naming it as a low-level cultivation state.

Entering the intermediate cultivation state is many, many more advantages than entering the low-level cultivation state:

The demon said: "I can realize that there is a world of difference between the improvement of the effect of entering the intermediate cultivation state on cultivation and the improvement of the effect of entering the low-level cultivation state on cultivation, and the difference between the two is more than 5 times, this is the difference between the methods or means that I have now entered the intermediate cultivation state is still very primitive, imperfect, and imperfect, if the methods or means of entering the intermediate cultivation state reach maturity and perfection, how much can the efficiency be improved." No wonder Lu Dongbin especially recommended this "Cultivate qi and forget to keep your word, lower your heart for nothing, know the sect master when you move, and find someone more if you have nothing to do". Because Laozi, Zhuangzi, and Liezi can enter the real "quiet, void, bright, and nothing", they do not talk about the cultivation method in the books of "Tao Te Ching", "Nanhua Sutra", and "Chongxu Zhenjing", but only repeatedly emphasize "quiet, void, brightness, and nothingness" in the book.

But there is a shortcoming, which is fatal to itself. Intermediate cultivation is aimed at entering "nothingness, emptiness, and tranquility", not to open up a certain acupuncture point and meridian as the purpose; the means and methods used are to "nourish qi and forget to keep one's words, lower one's mind for nothing, know the sect master when moving and quiet, and find someone else when there is nothing to do." ”。 In fact, you can't enter "nothingness, emptiness, and stillness", but can only approach "nothingness, emptiness, and stillness". In a word, it is necessary to use less consciousness and less promising, so that in the end, which meridian and which acupuncture point can not be controlled, and the purpose of opening up the three yang meridians in the twelve meridians is far away. If you can't get through the three yang or three yin meridians of your hand, you won't be able to fully master the spirit hammer and improve your casting and forging skills, and you won't be able to earn money to meet your needs for eating, drinking, and sleeping. Money is not everything, but no money is impossible. If you have problems surviving, how can you have the time and energy to cultivate?

It's really hard to choose.
