Chapter 185 Zhou Xingxing! [Iron Palm Floating on Water]! [Broad but Not Deep] Unlocked in Seconds! (7K)

"Mr. Gao, since you are not from the Taoist sect, I will use easy-to-understand words to teach you the talismans of the Maoshan sect."

Inside the villa, Taoist Yuan was not vague. He walked to the round table in the living room and opened the package he brought with him. Inside was a stack of yellow paper, a box of cinnabar, a wolf-hair brush, and a square Taoist seal wrapped in a clean red cloth:

"I have practiced Taoism for decades. In my opinion, drawing talismans mainly depends on the word 'borrowing'."

"One is to borrow the power of heaven and earth"

"One is to borrow the power of 'ghosts and gods'."

"One is to borrow the power of one's own cultivation... The last one doesn't count as borrowing. If the power is strong enough, one is already a first-class immortal god on land. Why would one need to communicate with ghosts and gods for help?"

"The talismans of our Maoshan sect are most proficient in naturally using the power of 'ghosts and gods'." Taoist Yuan sighed:

"Of course, the saying in our sect is to borrow the power of the 'ancestors'."

"Moreover, most of the 'ghosts and gods' in this world are unreliable. If you borrow one cent, some ghosts and gods will ask you to pay back three cents, or even ten cents... The ancestors are still reliable and take good care of us younger generations."

Gao Chao heard this and raised his hand to interrupt, asking a soul-searching question:

"...Then, Master Yuan, if the ancestors of your Maoshan Sect find out that you are teaching me the Maoshan talisman in private, will it still work the next time you draw a talisman and borrow the power of the ancestors?"

Taoist Yuan was silent for a moment.

Then he shook his head and said:

"Of course I have thought about this... As the saying goes, one day in heaven is one year on earth. In fact, the ancestors are very busy and don't care about most of the things in the human world. Moreover, in this Dharma-Ending Age, the ancestors naturally care even less about the lower world."

"In the past, our Maoshan's head and uncle masters could actively communicate with the upper world through opening altars and inform the ancestors of the crimes committed by their disciples... But now it is no longer possible. Today is an era of technology and the Dharma Ending Age. The uncle masters in the upper world cannot communicate whenever they want."

Gao Chao nodded, agreeing with what Yuan Daoist said.

Just like in the zombie movies he watched in his previous life, there were many villains who came from the Maoshan Sect, such as Taoist Qian Kai, Taoist Tulong... and even the very classic Thunder and Lightning King Shi Jian.

Shi Jian was lucky. As the eldest senior brother of the Maoshan Sect at that time, before his son died, although he was overbearing and unkind, he still regarded himself as a decent leader.

But Taoist Qian and Taoist Tulong are completely morally corrupt.

If only the Maoshan Sect's ancestors from the upper realms were really able to see clearly.

The "authority" of these two people to borrow the power of the "founder of Maoshan Sect" when drawing talismans had long been abolished.

However, the fact is that Taoist Qian can still perform rituals, and he and Master Xu can show their magical powers and fight each other fiercely.

Taoist Tulong was not punished by the founder of Maoshan Sect for his deeds like "Han Chen, Lin Kun, and Guan Cai Ba" during the Republic of China period.

And according to Taoist Yuan.

As long as no one performs rituals to communicate with the upper realms and "tell the parents" in front of the ancestors of the Maoshan Sect, the ancestors who are already among the immortals will not care about the affairs below.

It is a bit like the idea that if the people don’t report it, the officials won’t investigate it.

This is obviously also the important reason why Taoist Yuan dared to privately impart the superb Maoshan Sect inheritance.

"Mr. Gao, no matter what, I have made a decision that goes against our ancestors..."

Taoist Yuan coughed lightly and spoke slowly, his expression just like those 'experts' and 'miracle doctors' who advertised and sold health products on TV in Gao Chao's previous life.

"I understand!" Gao Chao naturally expressed his appreciation with a serious expression.

Taoist Yuan didn't say anything else.

He began to teach Gao Chao the Maoshan talismans seriously, and even drew a few talismans on the spot and explained them to Gao Chao in great detail.

According to Taoist Yuan.

The talismans of the Maoshan Sect are divided into five levels: yellow talismans, blue talismans, purple talismans, silver talismans, and gold talismans.

The golden talisman is the most powerful, but it also requires the caster to have the highest level of Taoism and consumes the most energy; silver is second; purple and blue are next; the least powerful is yellow, which is an ordinary talisman, usually made of yellow paper and cinnabar.

However, the world today is in the Dharma Ending Period, and the talismans circulating in the spiritual world are all the lowest level yellow talismans.

Not even a blue symbol can be seen.

Because starting from the blue talisman, special materials are needed.

Talisman paper that can be used to make blue talismans is extremely rare nowadays. For example, natural treasures, the fur of monsters that have become spirits... almost none of them can be found in the current cultivation world.

Even if they saw it, no one would be willing to use these things to practice talismans and draw talismans. After all, there are too many uses for natural treasures and powerful monsters.

As armored corpses and flying corpses rarely appear, if they appear and dare to cause trouble, they will be dealt with by special departments or bombed into ashes by modern weapons, the yellow talisman is enough.

After all, the orthodox Maoshan disciples who have been ordained can communicate with ghosts and gods to a certain extent when drawing talismans, and they have the power of their ancestors to bless them.

The talismans of the 'yellow paper' level also have a shelf life.

Because they are all ordinary yellow paper and cinnabar, which are mundane materials, they cannot retain their aura and spirituality.

Therefore, when these Maoshan disciples need talismans, they usually draw them on the spot, or prepare them one day or even several days in advance.

Gao Chao also recalled that in those Uncle Jiu series movies, the yellow talismans seemed to be drawn on the spot, with Uncle Jiu holding the talisman pen, walking with the steps, posing, and the camera would give close-ups when he was writing on the talisman paper.

I originally thought that it was for Uncle Nine to look cool and show the professionalism of the movie and the characters, but I didn't expect that there was a shelf life involved.

"Mr. Gao, you are not a disciple of Maoshan. You have not entered the sect. Without the true Maoshan teachings in front of the statue of the founder, you cannot rely on the power of the 'grandmasters' when drawing talismans, nor can you offer the seals..."

Taoist Yuan said this as he picked up the Taoist seal he had brought with him and stamped the talisman he had just drawn with an extremely pious expression.

In an instant, the Dao Seal fell.

The talisman named "Peace Amulet" instantly displayed an inexplicable Taoist charm and looked quite mysterious.

However, the next second later, it turned into an ordinary piece of yellow paper talisman, as if the mysterious Taoist rhyme just now was just an illusion.

"Amulets can protect you, your home, and your travels... They can also defend you against evil spirits to a certain extent. Although they won't work against powerful evil spirits, they can at least serve as a warning. If the talisman paper suddenly catches fire, you'd better be careful!"

Taoist Yuan folded the amulet into a triangle shape and handed it to Gao Chao.

"Protect yourself? To what extent can it protect you? Can it stop bullets?"

Gao Chao picked up the amulet and looked at it carefully.

As for the so-called functions of defending against evil spirits, warning against ghosts... he didn't care at all.

With the talent [Gray Impermanence], these functions can't even serve as icing on the cake.

Others are afraid of ghosts.

Gao Chao was excited to meet a ghost!

"…Block bullets?!"

Taoist Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes:
"Please, Mr. Gao, are you underestimating the power of bullets? If a lucky charm could block bullets, it would have been used in the military long ago!"

Yuan Daoist shook his head and continued:
"Don't overestimate the protective effect of the amulet. With my magical power and level, this amulet can at most help an old man reduce the risk of a concussion or cerebral congestion if he accidentally falls while walking!"

"Moreover, the 'shelf life' of this amulet is only half a month at most. If it is accidentally soaked in water and the cinnabar on the amulet paper gets wet, it will lose its effect in an instant." Taoist Yuan did not forget to warn.

"So this amulet doesn't require me to have magical powers to work? Are there any similar ones?"

Gao Chao put the amulet away without caring.

"There are also talismans for summoning disasters, talismans for traveling by force, talismans for suppressing ghosts, talismans for suppressing monsters, talismans for suppressing corpses... there are only a few types. Except for talismans for summoning disasters and traveling by force, which can directly play a certain role even without using mana to activate their full power, the latter three talismans all require you to use your own blood and essence to activate them. You are no longer a virgin, right?"

Taoist Yuan asked a question at the end, but quickly denied it:
"From your appearance, I don't think so... From your appearance, I can tell that you have already lost your virility, and you have been having sex too frequently recently. Young people should control their desires and be self-disciplined."

"With your excessive indulgence in sex, using your essence and blood to activate the talisman will only result in half the effort and twice the result. Once the body's essence and blood are lost too much, the loss will outweigh the gain." Taoist Yuan advised.

He naturally didn't know that Gao Chao possessed two great talents, [Immortal God of War] and [Self-Reliance], and that his blood and energy loss could be recovered quickly.

Gao Chao certainly wouldn't tell him and had a look of being taught.

After asking for several peace talismans and magic talismans from Taoist Yuan.

I started to learn the talismans taught by Taoist Yuan.

Originally, Gao Chao wanted to ask for a few more "disaster-inviting talismans" to harm others, but Taoist Yuan still had a certain bottom line. He was unwilling to draw such talismans that could harm people, and he was also afraid of being involved in cause and effect.

soon.

Taoist Yuan began to walk with his feet and chant incantations... He was very particular about laying out paper, grinding ink, and moving the brush. The complexity of the procedure and the tediousness of the method were enough to make ordinary people dizzy.

Gao Chao is a [severely mentally ill patient] with extraordinary mental strength, so he can see clearly.

He focused on the three talismans of peace, disaster-attracting and divine movement, which did not require magic power to activate but could still play a certain role.

As for other talismans, Gao Chao also learned them.

After all, although he has no magic power at this time, Michiko does. Since the tool cat can still play a role, she must be exploited severely.

……

However, a few hours later.

Wait until the superb enthusiasm fades.

Taoist Yuan was surprised to find out.

Gao Chao's talent in drawing talismans for peace and disaster relief is average.

But the only thing he showed was his superior talent on the 'Thunder and Lightning Talisman', which even he was not very good at.

"The lightning talisman is a difficult talisman to learn and master. Why do you have such a high talent for this talisman, Mr. Gao?"

Taoist Yuan was puzzled and couldn't help asking.

A strange look flashed across Gao Chao's face.

Maybe it's because he often activates the talent [Electric Shock Boy]? Is he quite good at shocking others?
Good at paralysis...

Does this work too?
Gao Chao picked up his own well-painted 'Thunderbolt Talisman', which had a certain charm, and smiled faintly:

“Maybe this is talent…”

"What a pity. Firstly, you don't have any magical powers, and secondly, you haven't been taught any magic skills... You can only take the route of drawing talismans by 'borrowing the power of heaven and earth'. You are so talented in lightning talismans, and you are indeed suitable for this route. Unfortunately, I am not qualified to master this method of drawing talismans, and I can't teach you anything."

Taoist Yuan sighed twice and said it was a pity.

Obviously, he also thought that Gao Chao's talent in lightning talismans was outstanding enough.

This was especially in contrast to his mediocre talent in other talismans.

"Is it difficult to master the method of drawing talismans by borrowing the power of heaven and earth? President Lin Zhenglin and Uncle Feng from Dongpingzhou have mastered it?"

Gao Chao asked.

Taoist Yuan had long known that Gao Chao had some connections with his two fellow apprentices, so he shook his head and said:

"… Junior Brother Lin and Fourth Master Feng are indeed a little stronger than me, but not by much. They naturally can't do it. As far as I know, looking at the entire Maoshan Sect today, there is only one person who may have mastered this method. As for who it is, I won't tell you, Mr. Gao."

The person that Taoist Yuan was referring to was his great-uncle master who was staying in the blessed land of Mount Mao.

"Yeah……"

Gao Chao nodded slowly.

It seems that even if one unlocks the [Zombie Taoist Priest], one may not be able to learn on his own and master the technique of drawing talismans by "borrowing the power of heaven and earth".

Gao Chao suppressed his inner disappointment.

He also began to ask Taoist Yuan about the Maoshan boxing, light body and other techniques, as well as some common sense and secrets in the current spiritual practice world.

And asked a few more questions about the "Nine Chrysanthemums School".

I have a deeper understanding of Michiko's evil Japanese sect.

Taoist Yuan did not hide anything and did what he said. In addition to the core Maoshan skills he practiced himself, he also taught the superb complete set of [Maoshan Zombie Fist] and the light body technique.

Gao Chao also discovered that these boxing and body techniques do not need to be coordinated with internal force, but rather with magic power to achieve the greatest effect.

"Master Yuan, I actually know a little bit about Taoist terminology, and I would like to ask you some Taoist knowledge."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Gao Chao finally found the right moment and took out a part of the Nine Yin Scriptures and began to ask Taoist Yuan some obscure Taoist terms.

This is actually a very critical step.

Those who do not understand Taoist terminology, such as Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", have completely misunderstood the second volume of the Nine Yin Scriptures in their hands. In the early plot of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Mei Chaofeng was delighted after getting a Taoist terminology explanation about internal power from Ma Yu. This is a good example.

"This internal skill looks quite good... Actually, Mr. Gao, you don't have to pursue the cultivation of magic power too much. In this era, it is difficult to cultivate magic power. Instead, you can practice internal skills to a deeper level..."

Taoist Yuan was old and experienced, so he naturally knew everything and saw that Gao Chao's advice was a superior internal skill.

Gave his own pertinent suggestions.

As for this superior internal skill, he had no interest in it.

Although it is said that it is difficult to cultivate mana, once you have cultivated mana, you should practice it wholeheartedly. Who would waste energy and distract yourself to practice internal skills...

……

Wait until Taoist Yuan leaves.

Gao Chao gained a lot.

He also decided to formally start practicing the "Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter" of the Nine Yin Scriptures, instead of the "Quan Zhen Xin Method" that he had just practiced after being taught by Wen Tailai.

[Yi Jin Jian Gu Chapter] This internal skill in the Nine Yins not only has the method of Yi Jin Jian Gu and strengthening the body, but also can cultivate internal strength. After practicing it, the skill level and other aspects will progress rapidly. Moreover, many people speculate that this internal skill seems to have the ability to improve the root bone qualification.

This is exactly what Gao Chao needs.

As a person who sticks to the "talent flow" throughout, Gao Chao cannot tolerate his own mediocrity in talent.

Just like he had read enough online novels in his previous life, he no longer liked reading "loser" novels.

Of course, there is also the reason that I am tired of watching it.

"...I must concentrate on practicing for a while. A real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be trapped by the beauty of women?"

Gao Chao made a secret decision.

"Brother Chao, your private phone is ringing."

At this time, Da Shengfa came over with a keypad phone and said.

"Man or woman?"

Gao Chao frowned.

After the call was connected, a soft female voice was heard on the other end:
"Mr. Gao, we have already consulted Commander Chen, and he is very satisfied with your position and awareness. We look forward to your meeting with him in person next month..."

"No problem, I'll definitely be there."

There is nothing wrong with being superb.

It’s a good opportunity for me to go back to the mainland and see if there are any special talents that I can find.

For example, after having a pleasant chat with Commander Chen, he asked the commander to help him find out the location of the pork stall of Ling Lingqi, the "pig butcher".

Although Ling Lingqi is not Commander Chen's man.

But the name is strange enough, and it is obviously a code name, belonging to an 'organized' person. In addition, he has the reputation of 'Pork Prince' and carries a butcher knife with him wherever he goes... I guess it won't be difficult to investigate his location.

"Mr. Gao, there is one more thing. Regarding this mission of mine and Gangya, I hope to get your help. The target of the mission calls himself Iron Legs Floating on the Water..."

Amei mentioned another matter.

There was no way. She and Gangya searched for several days, but there was still no news of Tietui floating on the water. The Hong Kong Island in this alien world was very large and densely populated. It was difficult to find anyone as they had just arrived and there was no help from the locals.

What's more, this man who can walk on water with iron legs has special skills.

“…Are there any photos?”

Gao Chao asked.

He also didn't expect that the target of Aimi and Gangya's mission would be this person.

In the original drama of [From Beijing with Love], Tietui Shuishangpiao was executed by firing squad for the crime of "theft". You should know that in Gao Chao's hometown, theft is generally not punishable by death.

However, this person actually made Commander Chen dispatch top agents such as Amei Shen and Gangya to hunt him down, which obviously meant that he had stolen something "incredible".

It's quite audacious.

"Yes! The things he stole were very important, and his face was also captured by the surveillance camera!"

……

There are photos of iron legs floating on water.

Gao Chao directly mobilized tens of thousands of members under his own command and Liansheng, plus the peripheral punks and hooligans who kept joining him as his name became more and more famous... a huge force of nearly 100,000 people.

In just two days, the trace of Iron Legs floating on the water was found.

By the way, I finally found the crew of Yin Tianchou's failed drama.

It’s hard for those younger brothers who are so skilled.

Because the sketch that Gao Chao asked someone to draw was of the real-life 'King of Comedy' named Zhou, who had made outstanding achievements as both an actor and a director.

In order to fit the image of Yin Tianchou in "The King of Comedy", Gao Chao deliberately had him drawn with shabby clothes and a slightly dull temperament.

Plus Yin Tianchou’s identity as a supporting actor in the crew.

Finally, it was found by Gao Chao's younger brothers.

As we all know, the special characters in this alien world are only three or four points similar to the real world at most. In addition, there are many differences in clothing, temperament, body shape, etc., which makes it not easy to find people in the densely populated Hong Kong Island.

This is also the reason why Gao Chao did not use He Jinyin’s photo, because it looks even less like him.

What Gao Chao didn’t know was.

This is in front of a school on Hong Kong Island.

Zhou Xingxing was dressed like a student, with his hands in his pockets, and walked with a cool and funny manner, which made him seem a little out of place with the students around him.

As he was walking, he was stopped by some gangsters from Liansheng:

"Hey! Are you a student here?"

"…What are you doing, pigeons?"

Zhou Xingxing pretended to be stupid and was curious about the purpose of these little bastards stopping him.

During this period, he was in a very low mood and his temper gradually became worse.

Because he was assigned an undercover mission to find guns by a superior who was at the level of Chief Superintendent of Police.

As a result, he did not have the opportunity to participate in the Hong Kong Police Free Fighting Competition and the Southeast Asian Free Fighting Competition some time ago!

This is a chance to make a name for yourself!

And the latter also has generous competition prizes!

Although he was not sure about the champion Gao Chao and the runner-up Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu of that competition.

But I think taking third place shouldn't be a problem, right?

The prize money for third place is quite a lot!
Zhou Xingxing felt that he had suffered a great loss!

And the process of finding a gun was not smooth. I wasted several months as a student and was imprisoned in school. It was a waste of time...

Looking at the gangsters in front of him who were frowning and sizing him up, Zhou Xingxing was already considering whether he should find a deserted place and beat these gangsters up severely, taking the opportunity to vent the anger that had been accumulating in his chest for some time.

"…Forget it, it's not him. He's just a student who looks a bit old. He doesn't look very similar. The guy Chao is looking for is also a guy who plays an extra in the crew."

A few gangsters were holding a sketch and pointing at Zhou Xingxing.

The gangster who had just stopped Zhou Xingxing asked desperately:
"What's your name?"

"Zhou Xingxing."

"leave!"

The gangster spat on the ground in disappointment and waved his hands, signaling Zhou Xingxing to get lost:
"Get lost! I'm telling you, don't walk around so arrogantly next time, or you'll get beaten up!"

"..."

Zhou Xingxing glanced at the gangster, but a dangerous smile appeared on his face. He stretched his muscles and was about to let these little rascals know the truth that trouble comes from the mouth.

A female voice sounded behind him.

It turned out to be Mr. He from the school. When he saw Zhou Xingxing being stopped by some gangsters, he stepped forward to help him.

"Teacher Ho."

Zhou Xingxing then gave up, glanced at those gangsters, memorized their appearance, and after his eyes passed through the sketches in their hands, he happily followed He Min away.

In Zhou Xingxing's eyes, Teacher He is the only light in his miserable undercover career. Not only is he serious and responsible, gentle and kind, but he is also good-looking. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to hold on for the past two or three months.

……

inside the car.

"Brother Chao, that Iron Legs Water Drifter has now fled to an outlying island, and someone seems to have been chasing him these past few days."

Da Shengfa is still reporting the situation to Gao Chao.

Gao Chao understands in his heart.

It is probably Ling Lingyi, the commander in name only but secretly the ace agent under the Man with the Golden Gun.

In the past two days, Aimi and Gangya have become much closer to Gao Chao and have shared some information with him. After all, they are now his own people who are being united.

Under the guidance of Feiji, who is also an "Iron Stomach Boy", Gangya also had a great meal and tasted many delicacies of Hong Kong Island.

Aimee was also received with top standards. She was arranged to live in a luxurious villa and served by Filipino maids. This was the most comfortable mission she had ever had in recent years. Especially since Gao Chao actually found Tietui Shuishangpiao in less than two days.

The goddess of beauty is naturally satisfied.

At this time, the two people who were informed by Gao Chao of the location of Tietui's water floating had already rushed towards the outlying island.

Gao Chao was not in a hurry.

The fighting power of Iron Legs Floating on Water should not be underestimated.

He has outstanding martial arts skills. Even with his hands tied tightly, he can climb up the high wall as if walking on flat ground. He can also use his inner strength and leg skills to knock over a group of executioners who are several feet away from him.

Gao Chao never fights a battle without preparation.

He decided to first meet Yin Tianchou, who was brought to the White Horse Club by his gang of younger brothers.

Before that.

Use the extra talent experience cards to draw a prize first.

'[The originator of taking advantage of the heat], [The star of fate], [Born with divine power], [Captain of the cavalry], [Attack of the wolf], [I want to fight ten], [Mid-lane god of war], [Hong Kong drug addict], [Caviar lover], [Amazing wrist strength]'

Ten talent experience cards were selected by Gao Chao and turned into ten streams of light colliding.

The only extra experience cards Gao Chao had left were the [Avengers Missile] and [Iron Stomach Boy] that he had just obtained.

soon.

Five new streams of light burst out.

The light is dazzling.

----------

[Heavenly fragrant cardamom (bears fruit once every thirty years, only one each time. If you eat it, no matter how serious the injury is, it will not get worse and your face will stay young)]

----------

[Broad but not specialized (Teacher Huang is really a role model, he is the typical jack of all trades, master of none…)]

——The speed of learning new skills will increase in the early stage, but although getting started will become faster, mastery will become more difficult.

——The possibility of mastering a skill is greatly weakened.

——Your success rate in conducting obedience tests on those around you is highly enhanced.

(Become a jack of all trades and master of none/conduct a six-year obedience test on those around you…)
----------

[Exploding Beef Balls (delicious and interesting! I couldn’t help but buy a bowl!)]

----------

[Qiu Qianren (nicknamed Iron Palm Floating on Water!)]

----------

[Wet diapers (the first step of genius...)]

----------

Five out of ten!
The shipment rate this time is a bit low!
But Gao Chao did not show any disappointment at all.

Instead, his eyes lit up and he felt very surprised!

Not to mention that [Qiu Qianren] is a top master whose martial arts skills are only half to one level away from the Five Great Masters, the character card is absolutely powerful.

Gao Chao was really delighted by Mr. Huang’s course “Broad but Not Deep”!
What he has always wanted to obtain is this special talent that can directly increase learning speed!
But I never get it!
Although I feel ashamed of the system's recent move to madly use Mr. Huang's various famous memes.

But Gao Chao really wanted to say something at this time.

Thank you Teacher Huang!

I also want to be a role model like you!
next moment.

Gao Chao couldn't help but reveal a smile similar to that of Teacher Huang.

This talent of [broad but not specialized] was unlocked by myself in a second!

Because now he really knows everything!
There is no problem with the character at all.

This is him!
"Cumulatively unlocked talents: 62"
