The years when I explored the fairyland

After seeing what he wanted, Chu Zhou became more cautious. He observed the box carefully from a distance.

The box was not big, about the size of a human head, and the style was ordinary, but the appearance was exquisite. The gilded craftsmanship and the complicated patterns made it look high-end.

The box was not locked, and it was placed in the hole dug out of the wall, which was quite defenseless.

But Chu Zhou did not dare to go forward easily!

Instead, he walked around the room and finally found a long bamboo stick.

It should be used to extinguish the candle. At this time, he used it to poke the exquisite box from a distance.

The box seemed to be quite heavy, and the wooden stick did not cause much impact. It almost did not shake, but he did not know where it was poked, and heard a "swoosh swoosh" sound.

Before Chu Zhou could react, he saw that three crossbow arrows were already inserted into the bamboo stick.

Although the force was not enough and the crossbow arrows did not penetrate deeply, the surface of the arrow seemed to be glowing.

Obviously, it was poisoned.

Chu Zhou was not surprised at all. He continued to poke it for several times in a row. After trying two rounds of crossbow arrows, it really stopped responding.

With this design, if you do it rashly, you will probably die without knowing how you died!

But even so, when moving the box, he still pulled a piece of white cloth and threw it on top. After covering it completely, he moved it down.

Yes, move it!

Because, the first time, he was not prepared enough and he did not move it.

After being prepared, he moved the box to make a hole and put it on the edge of the desk.

Then, he used a wooden stick to lift the lid from a distance, triggering a burst of needles. At least a hundred needles were inserted into the roof.

Then, he put on a pair of deerskin gloves and made a simple mask with wet silk cloth.

Then he pushed the box off the table from a distance. With a "crackling" sound, the things were scattered all over the floor.

Nothing happened, but Chu Zhou did not think that there was any problem with his caution.

He actually didn't know about this secret room, let alone the layout inside, but he knew the Taoist Xuanzhen.

On the surface, whether it was Chu Zhou, Xu Cheng or Yi Huai, they were all saved by the Taoist.

Giving them food and drink, and teaching them to read and write, it's not an exaggeration to say that he was "reborn".

The original Chu Zhou really respected the Taoist Xuanzhen, but this did not affect the Taoist Xuanzhen's private unbearableness.

The Taoist Xuanzhen loved money, very much. He didn't want to get involved in the exorcism of Mr. Zhao's family, but who told Mr. Zhao to give him enough money?

The Taoist Xuanzhen didn't like to treat people, especially those poor people, who couldn't squeeze much money, but he still did it.

Because he had a physical illness.

Chu Zhou didn't know what it was, but he knew that the Taoist Xuanzhen studied medicine to treat himself.

The daily talisman water and soup for the poor were to cover up the fact that he used medicine.

Chu Zhou also saw that he bought the placenta, which is the placenta of the baby, from many midwives and used it as medicine, and he enjoyed it very much.

The old Taoist Xuanzhen was also lustful, but he was afraid of ruining his reputation, so he chose the widow with the half-closed door and kept a concubine.

As far as Chu Zhou knew, there were at least three.

Perhaps because the distance was too close, the image of the old Taoist Xuanzhen was more three-dimensional and more real without a filter in Chu Zhou.

It cannot be said that the old Taoist must be a bad person, but at least, he did not show the immortal style and greatness.

This is also one of the reasons why the original body always thought that the old Taoist was a liar, and he tried hard to reduce his sense of existence and behaved submissively, just to live better.

Well, in a sense, the famine and escape in childhood have actually wiped out the innocence in the original body's character.

He is more willing to speculate about others with the greatest malice.

Chu Zhou, who inherited the memory of the original body, although he is now taking the old Taoist's legacy, is understandably cautious.

Facts have proved that his caution is justified, otherwise, he would have died countless times with the mechanism just now.

The box is not big. After falling to the ground, all the items inside naturally poured out. There are not many types, only three.

One of them is gold, a full five ingots, which is about ten taels of gold ingots, a total of fifty taels of gold.

According to the standard exchange of this world, one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, which is a full five hundred taels of silver, which is definitely a huge sum of money.

This is still the official calculation. In fact, it is normal for silver to be cheap and gold to be expensive. It is normal for one tael of gold to be exchanged for twelve or thirteen taels of silver.

With this calculation, fifty taels of gold can be exchanged for six hundred taels of silver. This alone can cause countless people to kill.

In addition, there is an old book and a piece of animal skin.

Chu Zhou still wore the deerskin gloves, picked up the book and the animal skin, shook it for a long time, and after finding no obvious problems, he carefully flipped through it.

Thanks to the teachings of the old Taoist Xuan Zhen, the original body was able to read and write, not to mention how profound, but normal reading and writing were no problem.

And the old book, called "Angry Dragon Flipping the River Hand", was actually a complete martial arts technique.

Chu Zhou was not familiar with the name, but he was actually quite familiar with the content, especially the first part.

Because he and his two junior brothers had practiced the initial part.

It was from the teachings of the old Taoist Xuan Zhen, including the basic training method and the standing practice, a two-in-one practice, which was said to have the effect of accumulating essence and strengthening qi and blood.

However, Chu Zhou and his two junior brothers practiced and practiced, but they really didn't notice the mystery of it. It's not that there was no progress at all, but that the progress was too slow.

At this time, he flipped through it and found that the most important part was missing - the medicine.

In this world, there is no saying that the martial arts can practice "internal strength" directly. Almost all of them start from strengthening "muscles, flesh, skin and bones".

And to strengthen "muscles, flesh, skin and bones", you have to start from strengthening qi and blood and condensing strength.

However, the human body is weak, and it is not so easy to grow quickly.

It is necessary to practice in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, and then supplement with special medicines to replenish qi and blood, in order to grow quickly.

It's a pity that with this method, for some reason, the old Taoist Xuanzhen actually kept it back, so that Chu Zhou and the other two just used it to stretch their muscles and bones, and didn't really pay much attention to it.

At this moment, the more Chu Zhou flipped through it, the more shocked he was, because, although this book is not thick, it actually contains a lot of content.

In addition to the basic standing practice, there is also a complete method of tempering "muscles, flesh, skin and bones", and there are food supplements and soups for different realms, and even medicinal baths.

Chu Zhou saw clearly that many of them were written by the old Taoist Xuan Zhen, and the traces of additions and changes were very obvious.

There is also a killing move that is derived from the fighting method, and its name is "Angry Dragon Flipping the River". Judging from the description, it seems to be quite powerful.

At the very end, the old book also includes a method of training the internal organs, called: Angry Dragon Swallowing!

With this point alone, the whole secret book has risen to a higher level and become a mid-grade martial arts.

Don't think this is the worst. In fact, there are so many martial arts halls in Baisha City, and most of them teach low-level martial arts.

If you can have a complete book of low-grade martial arts with soups and medicines, you can become the treasure of the town hall.

Only the top few martial arts halls are said to have the inheritance of mid-grade martial arts and the method of training the internal organs, but that is not something you can learn by paying money.

Without establishing a direct relationship, without serving the master well, and without direct benefits, how could one easily obtain these skills?

Weighing this secret book, Chu Zhou felt that if he really learned something, he didn't need to reach the pinnacle, as long as he achieved a small success, he would have more room for maneuver.

What a pity, what a pity...

After thinking about it, Chu Zhou directly threw away the secret book and took out the animal skin.

He spread it out and read it carefully for a long time. When he looked up, a look of realization flashed in his eyes.

It turned out that the exorcism technique of Taoist Xuan Zhen was not a lie?

There were many tiny words on the animal skin, mainly recording a secret technique called "Ghost Technique".

What is a ghost?

It is taken from the meaning of "serving a tiger as a ghost". It is said that people who died in the mouth of a tiger are all people with deep resentment, and their souls will be driven by the tiger mountain king and turned into ghosts.

And this ghost-killing technique is to find the remains of those killed by the tigers, and it is best to choose young and strong people, and use special soul-calling techniques to gather the ghosts around you for driving.

Back then, Taoist Xuanzhen relied on this technique to kill seven people overnight without a trace, and frightened the old forces in Baisha City into silence.

It was also relying on this technique that he was able to detect ghost energy, or drive ghosts, and kill ghosts with ghosts, and earned such a great reputation.

However, it is not that simple to raise ghosts with your body?

Not to mention that the more people you kill, the heavier the resentment, and the master needs to help bear it.

It also consumes air and blood for nourishment. After a long time, it will end up with a loss of both energy and vitality, and even hinder your offspring.

Seeing this, Chu Zhou's confusion was solved more than one level.

For example, why did Taoist Xuanzhen study medicine?

Why did he pour so much blood-replenishing soup into his stomach?

Why did he not even strengthen his blood and qi with the middle-grade martial arts "Wrath of the Dragon"?

Why did he like women but had no offspring for so many years?

Chu Zhou in his original body could feel that at first, when Taoist Xuanzhen accepted them as disciples, he probably wanted to use them as chores and slaves, and he didn't care much about them.

This is why Yi Huai was afraid of the Taoist.

When teaching and learning, if you don't perform well, the old guy will really beat you. Even in normal times, he didn't give you a good face.

As the eldest brother, Chu Zhou in his original body was also beaten.

It was only in the past one or two years that it seemed that there was really no hope, but they were treated better.

However, looking at the old book and the animal skin in his hand, Chu Zhou was not very happy.

Everything is good, even the "Ghost Technique" with significant side effects is a secret technique that can only be encountered in the outside world.

However, these two things alone cannot solve the current problem!

Okay, although he thought so, Chu Zhou still took the secret technique, walked to the bedside, sat cross-legged, and studied it carefully again.

In any case, this is a way to gain strength. When there is no other way, it is always good to read more.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhou delved deeper and deeper, almost trying to figure out the meaning of the text word by word.

He could read and understand, but he knew nothing about cultivation.

Regardless of martial arts or secret techniques, it is okay to understand them roughly, but it is a bit difficult to understand them thoroughly.

This kind of research is also very strenuous!

And this research lost the concept of time. Unknowingly, he was lying on the bed in a daze and fell asleep.

In his dream, he seemed to see a vast ocean with a ball of light hanging in the center.

The ball of light was like the sun, but not so blazingly bright. It was just a gentle divine light that continued to bloom.

Chu Zhou looked at it in a daze, a little at a loss.

But after looking at it for a long time, he seemed to see two words appearing on the jade-like texture in the divine light.

Immortal! Domain!

This was a sudden thought, and he finally remembered that the game he downloaded seemed to be called "Immortal Domain"!

It is tentatively scheduled to be updated twice a day, around 6 pm!
