Daoist, stay safe

Liu Yu froze when she reached the kitchen door.The kitchen of Zhang Xiyan’s house is larger than her living room. The long table for cutting and preparing vegetables is the size of a large conference table. In addition to the prepared dinner, there is also a large pot full of medicinal materials. Urns and jars, there are living creatures crawling inside, including crustaceans and reptiles, there are more than a dozen large and small.There are six stoves in the kitchen. In addition to cooking, there are two large pots with a diameter of more than one meter boiling water. I don’t know if they are heating bath water or preparing medicinal bath water.In the middle of the kitchen stood a large alchemy stove that was as tall as a person. The bottom and walls of the stove had traces of smoke and fire, which was obviously not infrequently used.Kitchen cabinets, water tanks, jars, earthen pots, barrels, steamers and other objects, plus spare firewood split into strips, occupy a huge kitchen.

When the sister-in-law saw Liu Yu going into the kitchen, she immediately stopped her: "The kitchen is full of oily smoke, don't come in." She pushed her out, closed the door, and inserted the latch from the inside.

Liu Yu inexplicably thought that "the kitchen is an important place, and idlers are not allowed to enter".She just wanted to avoid the limelight temporarily in the kitchen, and couldn't enter the kitchen, so she simply went to stand outside the gate.

Seeing how dirty Zhang Xiyan's body was, and listening to their conversation, she knew that what Zhang Xiyan brought back was not simple.Regardless of whether the things on the ancestors of the Zhang family belonged to the Huaji tribe at the time, more than 2000 years have passed, dynasties have changed, and even the country has changed hands. Dozens of surnames have changed, let alone just a few things.Zhang Xiyan wanted to give her something from home, but she was still angry, but she didn't dare to accept it.

After standing there for a few minutes, Liu Yu was called into the house by the third aunt and gave her some ancient books.Several books are all written in seal script, and she can only recognize a few characters, as if looking at the sky.The smell of the book, the quality of the paper, and the thousand-year-old ink all showed its origin, and she really didn't dare to accept it.

Grandma Sangu said: "If you can use her in the right way, Zhang Xiyan's dedication to you will not be in vain. You are also the person in charge of a sect now, so you should avoid detours and stumbling around to find out, not only you , and make those who follow you less tormented."

Liu Yu saw that the elders in the room agreed, so she thanked her again and again, took the book with both hands, her brows were full of joy.

Compared with getting a few ancient books, she cares more about Zhang Xiyan's troubles for her. Does this mean that she still has some weight in Zhang Xiyan's heart.

After dinner, she took the book and went to ask Zhang Xiyan for advice.

Zhang Xiyan said to Liu Yu: "Wait a moment", went to the study next to her, and brought back a few more books.

One is about the basic strokes and usage of seal script, and the other ones are traditional Chinese versions of Thousand Characters, Hundred Surnames, and Analects, all of which are children's enlightenment books.

Zhang Xiyan said to Liu Yu: "You read these few books first, and you will basically have no problem reading seal script." After she finished speaking, she went to the study again, and not long after, she came back with more than a dozen thread-bound ancient books and put them on the table , Said to Liu Yu: "You read these books thoroughly, and then you will understand everything after reading the Book of Witch Gods."

Liu Yu: "..." She didn't have so many books to study in the college entrance examination back then, and the difficulty was not so great.The protagonist in the book falls into a cliff or cave and picks up a book of martial arts secrets. After a few years of practice, he can become a peerless master. When he comes to her, he has to learn more than 30 books from thousands of characters and hundreds of surnames. Do you understand the Book of Witch Gods?If she was a student or a professional academic, she would be able to finish reading a hundred books, but how could she have so much time to learn slowly?After learning the Gu technique, the day lily will be cold.She cleared her throat and asked, "Is there any instant one? Didn't you promise to translate for me before?" After she finished speaking, Zhang Xiyan took a deep look, then nodded slightly, without saying anything .

She was inexplicably a little uneasy, and said, "Why are there so few words today?"

Zhang Xiyan asked: "What do you want to talk about?" She didn't want to talk to Liu Yu at all.

The "Witch God Xuanling Jing" is the practice method of the ancient witch clan, and it is the orthodox inheritance method of the witch clan. An ancestor who practiced Gu Dao in the past failed to comprehend the mystery in it, and died with regret , This book was also buried in the coffin.When Zhang Xiaolin was painting the old ancestor, she saw the old ancestor's coffin and remembered that there was this book inside.She didn't lie when she said that Zhang Xiaolin trampled the ancestor's coffin, but in fact it happened after the coffin was opened, but it was hard to tell in front of Liu Yu.The book was put in a box and held in the arms of the ancestor, and the ancestor's magic weapon was also buried with him. She took the book and Zhang Xiaolin took the ancestor's magic weapon, triggering the restraint and awakening the ancestor.

When the ancestor was dying, he planted zombie Gu on himself before his heart and breathing stopped. When he was put into the coffin, he still breathed heavily.Without dying, he planted Zombie Gu to preserve the activity of the cells to the greatest extent, including brain cells, and also retained some memories of his life. When he saw her pick up the book, he almost tore her alive.He planted Zombie Gu and sealed it in the coffin for nearly 2000 years. The human and Gu had already merged into one and became a Gu person. The secreted substance formed a horny process as hard as iron on the surface of the skin, becoming the legendary Bronze Armored Corpse.It was useless for her to put the book back, and she couldn't beat the old ancestor, so in the end she could only switch on the mechanism and kill the old ancestor.

She had read all the books in the library, including the life records and funeral records of the ancestors, before she knew this book and its whereabouts.Now let's see if grandma Sangu knows whether this book is a funeral object of the ancestors. If they don't know, they can still fool them. If they don't, she and Zhang Xiaolin will wait for the family rules to deal with them.

Zhang Xiyan didn't expect to just take the book, but in the end, the old ancestor cheated the corpse, and even killed the old ancestor.She was scared to death now, but Liu Yu didn't appreciate it.

Seeing that Zhang Xiyan was unhappy, Liu Yu said nicely, "Baby Xiyan, I just want to practice a Flower God Gu, not to start a sect and become a professional Taoist priest. There is no need to re-read all the textbooks from kindergarten enlightenment to university graduation, right? After all, I am a purely amateur, not a major, and I don’t expect to rely on this line of work to earn money for food. I just have free time Just practice by the way, whichever step you practice counts as one step."

Zhang Xiyan said coldly: "When practicing martial arts, the horse step is the first step. If your foot is not stable, you want to practice floating on the water. Why don't you go directly to the sky? Do you want to know more about your obsession?"

Liu Yu said: "I didn't say not to practice the basics, but you can reduce the amount of some unnecessary things, such as the three-character scriptures and hundreds of surnames. Please help me translate my compulsory courses. Is it okay? I will pay for it." Money, ten yuan a word, you can find someone you trust to help me translate it. Spend some money to buy time, use the time on steel blades, and earn more money, right? Only in this way can we maximize the benefits, right? It’s like this book of human meridians and acupoints, you don’t need to memorize it, you can translate it into something I can understand, and I can just flip through the book and practice according to it when I’m cultivating.” She said, “The Book of Witch Gods is up to you.”

Zhang Xiyan had a mouthful of old blood in her heart, and she couldn't get angry yet.Liu Yu just wanted to learn some skills, so she went to find textbooks for her when she was full.She replied: "Success." She took the pile of books back to the study, and put them back one by one.

She had worked with Liu Yu before, and she knew that he was someone who would never be willing to work hard if there was a shortcut.For Liu Yu, it doesn't matter if the foundation is solid or not, as long as the goal is achieved and the Flower God Gu is cultivated, don't care about the trivial things, let alone spend time on them.For a businessman, it is enough to make money, and the rest does not matter.

So, she didn't want to take Liu Yu to take a medicinal bath together to refresh her muscles and bones.She and the third aunt were blood relatives, and when she was in pain, she would look anxiously at the third aunt. Liu Yu was not her, and when she was in pain, she thought she was deliberately torturing others.

Zhang Xiyan was too lazy to talk to Liu Yu, and didn't even want to go back to her room, so she used simplified regular script to silently write "The Collection of Suppressing Spirit Gu and Witch Gods" in the study.

She was silent again, and had some different understandings, and then she really wanted to laugh at Liu Yu: Do you think cultivation is so easy?

Even if it is the same technique in the same book, if different people learn it, the results will never be exactly the same. Aptitude, understanding, hard work, resources used, and even different experiences will cause this gap. . "The Collection of Suppressing Spirit Gu and Witch Gods" is just a Gu technique, it teaches how to control spirit Gu for one's own use, it's not a practice of mind, it's just the technique of controlling insects!Only refining worms but not cultivating oneself is like a person who keeps forging that peerless sword. The knife is getting sharper and heavier, getting better and better, but that person is still powerless.When the knife was still a kitchen knife, she could lift the knife, but when the knife became Guan Gong's Qingyue Yanyue knife, could she twist it?What's more, it's a Gu, which can bite people and devour masters!

Zhang Xiyan snorted coldly in her heart, "She is not someone to me, so why should I care if she is good or bad."

She knew what Liu Yu's requirements were for the translated version of the Witch God's Canon. She didn't need to write such a complicated book, and she didn't need to tell her the reasons and principles. She just needed to tell her the cultivation path so that she could follow the path to achieve her goal and succeed in cultivation.This is Liu Yu's request, and it is also the boss's request for employees. When hiring employees, the boss does not need to understand how the employees do it.What Liu Yu wanted was not a practice method, but a navigation map, what she wanted was a navigation with a set route!

Take people's money and do things for them.

According to Liu Yu's request, Zhang Xiyan revised "The Collection of Suppressing Spiritual Gu and Witch Gods". He wrote a copy of the original translation silently, and also drew a picture and a meridian map for Liu Yu.But such a map... No one can guarantee that there will be no accidents on the way of Liu Yu's cultivation, and no one can guarantee that there will be no traffic accidents, temporary road construction, or road closures on the planned route.The car is stuck on the highway, wait a little longer, or find another way to go around.Liu Yu has no foundation. Once these problems arise, she simply has no strength to find other ways to deal with the situation.When you encounter problems in cultivation, no one can help you except yourself.Just like when she sits cross-legged in meditation, if she doesn't say anything, who knows whether she is circulating Qi or concentrating Qi and gathering Yuan?

If you lose money in business, you can start all over again. If you go crazy in your practice, you will be seriously injured even if you don't die, especially in the extremely dangerous Gu technique. If you fail, you will lose your life.

She gave Liu Yu all the books, and it was beyond her control to learn or not to learn.

Zhang Xiyan restrained her mind and concentrated on silently writing the Book of Witch Gods.

Simplified pen writing is much faster than writing traditional seal script with a brush. The original version can be silently written in a few hours with less than 2000 characters. A word or a word is summarized, and translated into vernacular, there can be many different interpretations.This exercise was written at least 7000 years ago, and it can even be traced back to the Shaman culture period [-]-[-] [-] years ago. The meaning of the words at that time is quite different from what it is now.She couldn't understand many of the words and characters above.She could only mark it out and put a question mark. She was afraid of misleading Liu Yu, so she didn't even dare to write a guess. She only wrote that the meaning of this word was different in ancient times and modern times, and she didn't understand.

Zhang Xiyan thought, maybe Liu Yu would turn to the book when she saw these things, and study them carefully.After all, Liu Yu has a brain, she is just a little crazy, not stupid.

The sound of clasping fingers on the table sounded, and Zhang Xiyan turned her head only to realize that the third aunt had entered at some point and was standing beside her.

The third aunt asked her: "Did you sleep?"

The sound of cock crowing came from the village.

She said: "I still have a little bit, I will go after I finish writing."

The third aunt asked her: "How did the ancestor's coffin break?"

Zhang Xiyan said: "If you think I broke it, you can just punish me."

The third aunt smiled sinisterly, "Zhang Xiaolin recruited everything."

Zhang Xiyan glanced at Third Aunt grandma sullenly, and sent her two words "childish!" Trying to trick her?If Zhang Xiaolin really recruited, both of them have already been imprisoned at this moment, and they will wait for the opening of the main hall tomorrow to announce the sentence in public, and then throw them to the dark cell to stay there.Stealing and excavating the ancestral mausoleum is a felony, and the lightest one is thirty sticks, thrown into a dark prison.

The dark dungeon is built under the ancestral mausoleum, buried deeper than the ancestors. That layer is the place where the mausoleum guardian beasts are. The most indispensable thing is Gu and strange things. Lock them in for three months. Finally, the black prison is opened, and if you can come out alive, you will be considered to have finished your sentence, and those who can't get out will be fed to those bugs and beasts.Those who didn't want to go to the black prison had their legs broken and one hand broken, and they were expelled from the house. There was no such person in the Zhang family ever since.

The third aunt took a deep look at Zhang Xiyan, and said, "I have guarded the library for 50 years. I have read every book in it. I have all the funeral records of the ancestors and the funeral objects in my heart. Count it." After she finished speaking, she saw Zhang Xiyan's handwriting heavily underlined, and said, "Why are your hands shaking?"

Zhang Xiyan ignored her, finished the last sentence silently, looked up at the third aunt, and said, "The coffin is too old. Zhang Xiaolin stepped on it when he was painting it. I turned on the head of the ancestor. The bronze armored corpse is very old." Difficult to deal with, I won’t accompany you if you break some funerary goods. The corpses can’t be kept, and the funerary goods have also been cleared out.”

Grandma Sangu said: "Your grandfather didn't sleep all night. He came back from Zhang Xiaolin and told me that you are the only one we can count on in this life. Zhang Xiyan, can our family count on you?"

Zhang Xiyan said: "I don't know, it's hard to say whether I will die in this line of work." She stood up, cleaned up the desk, and said: "It's time to take a medicinal bath."

Grandma Sangu said: "When I finish my work later, I will open a dark prison for you to try. First practice the Flower God Gu. I am afraid that one day you will lose your life. Don't worry, I won't throw you in. Let you go through the trial stage."

Zhang Xiyan asked, "Where's Zhang Xiaolin?"

The third aunt said: "He still wants to jump on the coffin of his ancestors after painting. Why doesn't he go to heaven? From tomorrow, he will guard the ancestral hall for three years."

Zhang Xiyan said "hmm", and after packing up her things, she went back to her room to take a medicinal bath.

When she entered the room, she saw Liu Yu lying on the bed with a pillow behind her, sleeping soundly, with an open Three Character Classic on her chest.

Liu Yu, who was sleeping soundly, was not as nervous as usual, nor did she have the complacency and businessman's drive, she was quiet and a bit cold.She and Liu Yu were once listed as the two icebergs of the company. In fact, Liu Yu is not a warm person, but she is better at pretending to be friendly and enthusiastic than her. When facing customers, MMP eyes are full of MMP, but her face is The smile is more cordial than seeing Liu Shize.

Liu Yu likes her, the way she looks at her is different from looking at other people, her eyes express liking, when seeing her, from her smile and eyes, it can be seen that she is really happy, not pretending.Probably because of that liking, she wanted Liu Yu to be well, but it didn't mean she would steal the ancestral mausoleum for Liu Yu's sake, it's just... She just saw the coffin and suddenly remembered that there was such a book, and the book was right in front of her, The array of coffins is the only way to go to the library. On the way to the library, she picked up a book that her ancestors would never read to make the most of it. God knows that her ancestors would cheat corpses!God knows that the old ancestor's obsession would be so deep.

Liu Yu didn't appreciate the book she brought out in such a big disaster.

Zhang Xiyan is really stunned!

She was so angry that she took off her clothes and turned over into the bathtub, screaming "Ah—" in pain, and jumped out of the tub almost subconsciously, and then was slapped back by the third aunt's grandma, who pressed her head together Into the water, the water poured into the eyes, ears, mouth and nose at once, the feeling of choking on the water, the pain of needles pricking the fire along the seven orifices and piercing into the head, the whole person's reason collapsed at once, and he struggled desperately , At that moment, I felt like I was going to be drowned in the water by the third aunt, or died of pain in the water.

After a while, she felt that she was still panting, trembling, and crying...

Liu Yu looked at the grandparent and grandson with horror on her face. If it wasn't her own, she would have thought it was murder.

Nima, it's too cruel!It was agreed to reduce the weight, but it turned out... This is even worse than yesterday.

She guessed that it must be because Zhang Xiyan cut off his ancestor's head and was treated by the third aunt.

In other words, the quality of the coffin boards is not good, so it has nothing to do with her Xiyan baby. The ancestors have cheated the corpses, and they still don't let people settle the ancestors. What if someone dies?It's not your fault that your family's ancestor who made a fraudulent corpse was chopped off by my baby Xiyan.

However, Grandma Sangu's eyes were more ferocious than her actions. Zhang Xiyan even gave her a book. Liu Yu, as the one who got the benefits, didn't dare to challenge Grandma Sangu, and didn't even dare to plead for mercy.She was afraid that if she pleaded for mercy, Zhang Xiyan would suffer even worse, and even herself would be pushed in to have a painful bath together.
