Taoist priest in the foggy capital

Chapter 10 The Nine-Level Entrance
"Sit down for a while and I'll finish cooking this plate of rice."

Uncle Ming stirred the wok quickly, and the firelight made his face turn red.

After he said this, Yin Xiu was not in a hurry. After saying hello to a few old men at the stall, he sat down at a table in the corner.

"Uncle He, your fried rice is so good. Eat it slowly!"

After greeting the last guest, Uncle Ming sat next to Yin Xiu and slowly lit a cigarette for himself.

"A place like Bolan Street is full of dragons and snakes. I have Gang Qi on my body, so it's not convenient to go there. Those two beasts can easily find me."

"Uncle Ming, what do you mean?"

"I mean, if you meet me, you can go."

Uncle Ming glanced at him, took out a black wooden box from his pocket, and motioned for Yin Xiu to open it.

Yin Xiu took it and felt that although the box looked ordinary, it felt heavy in his hand and gave him a chill.

Opening the box carefully, there were three yellow talismans lying inside.

Yin Xiu was stunned for a moment, and was at a loss when facing the three talisman papers in front of him.

"Can't you understand?"

Uncle Ming picked up the talismans and placed them on the table one by one.

"This one is the Thunder Fire Talisman, this one is the Liuding Protective Charm, and this one can be used when you run for your life."

Uncle Ming took out another simple hexagonal bell and handed it to Yin Xiu, "Take this bell with you. When those monsters approach you, the bell will ring so that you can detect them."

Yin Xiu took the bell and the talisman. The talisman should come in handy. As for the bell, he didn't plan to use it. He could hear it, but the fox demon and the werewolf couldn't hear it?
Perhaps Uncle Ming thought that he had not yet opened his eyes and could not distinguish monsters, so he gave him such a bell to protect him.

After accepting his kindness, Yin Xiu said: "Uncle Ming, do you want me to get rid of them?"

"you?"

Uncle Ming rolled his eyes and said calmly: "The longevity man hanged himself, do you think you have a long life? Follow them, don't alert the snake, it is best to find their lair, that's enough, don't do unnecessary things."

When Uncle Ming said this, Yin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

Although he vaguely felt that killing the fox demon and werewolf should be able to unlock milestones and obtain some rewards.

But after the last incident, in just two days, his strength did not improve.

It can only be said that he has more experience in fighting enemies. With his current level of Xuan Guan level [-] strength, whether it is the fox or the werewolf, he can definitely kill him easily.

"You brat, I know you have some skills."

Uncle Ming glanced at him, "But don't be too self-righteous. The human body has nine levels of mystery. After mastering it, you can explore the three secrets. After opening the three secrets, you will be in the realm of heaven and man. It is said that you can achieve enlightenment and ascend. .

But in today's era, there has not been such a person in more than 200 years. Ordinary people who are better at fists and kicks work as bodyguards for the rich, and those who are good at practicing martial arts go to watch Feng Shui and make elixirs.Immortality?Complete enlightenment?Who believes it? "

Uncle Ming's words aroused Yin Xiu's curiosity. Although he had vaguely heard of the nine-fold entrance, he was still basically confused about its divisions and details.

Especially for the advanced method of the Nine-Level Mysterious Pass, although it is possible that as long as he keeps practicing, his realm will also improve, but Yin Xiu is afraid that he has missed something and taken a detour.

So he quickly asked: "Uncle Ming, do you have any tips for improving your realm?"

"The trick?" Uncle Ming sneered twice, "It's not that there is nothing. Genetic modification, drug use, whole-body prosthetic modification, and adding meridians, there is always a way that suits you."

Uncle Ming said it easily, but Yin Xiu just felt cold sweat. Even among the evil cultivators in history who were not mentally well, there were probably very few people who would use the methods he mentioned to strengthen. "Xunlong divides the gold and looks at the entrance. There is one level of entrance and one level of heaven. There is no shortcut in the journey of cultivation."

Uncle Ming patted him on the shoulder, "Boy, you still have a lot to learn."

While we were talking, another regular customer came, clamoring to buy sticky rice.

Uncle Ming said: "When you have time, go to Bolan Street and take a look. Remember, don't do anything with them. If anything happens, please inform me immediately."

After warning Yin Xiu again with his eyes, he stood up and went to greet the guests.

……

Yin Xiu didn't rush to Bolan Street immediately. He went back to his residence first.

The two monsters made a mess in his house last time. When the tenant came to see them, he thought there was a fight.

After he declined the housewife's invitation to stay at her house, the housekeeper grimly offered compensation.

Fortunately, the money gained from selling the demon pill was quite enough, which was enough for Yin Xiu to move to another place to live after compensating for the loss.

It is still the property under the name of the tenant, but it is much more spacious than before. Even the rooftop is higher than the surrounding buildings.

The closer you are to doing something dangerous, the harder it is to change your habits easily.

After practicing Guiyuan Gong once, Yin Xiu felt much more comfortable all over, and the slight fatigue caused by a day's work also dissipated instantly.

After coming down from the rooftop, he started to pack his things.

A black windbreaker, a felt hat that just covers most of his face, and a pair of dark cut-resistant gloves are his best attire.

First, he put the three charms that Uncle Ming gave him close to his body and put them in different pockets to avoid taking them out by mistake in an emergency.

He thought about it and took it with him. He just wrapped it in a sponge to minimize the noise.

After all, Yin Xiu was not sure whether his [Mirror's Eye] could spot the two monsters at once.

The next step is to prepare weapons.

Although guns are very convenient things, the two of them are not street gangsters after all, and getting involved with gun dealers will inevitably cause some trouble at the moment.

Therefore, Yin Xiu only had a dagger at hand. Although it was short, it was sharp and could be well hidden in the windbreaker.

Then there was the examination of his arm.

Yin Xiu carefully peeled off the bionic skin covering it, revealing the silvery mechanical prosthetic body.

After skillfully opening the lid of the fuel tank and pouring the coal ash inside from the opening, Yin Xiu picked up a small plate and poured the fresh pulverized coal in the dish down the opening.

After finally filling the fuel tank, his arm glowed with fire and a slight trembling sound was heard, which was the happy whine of gears and clockwork after feeling enough power.

It is now ten o'clock in the evening. People who have worked hard all day have already turned off their lights and gone to bed. Even those who can't sleep are reluctant to light up lights and waste extra money.

Therefore, the light where Yin Xiu was was now completely dark, and apart from the sounds of insects, there were only faint sighs.

In the distance, in the brightly lit main city of Hong Kong Island, nightlife has just begun.
