Baishu Township is not far from the county seat of Yu County. The group arrived at Shangmanzigou Village on the edge of Xiaowutai Mountain at noon. After having a meal in the village, they left the carriage and horses in the village and took a small trail into the mountain.

.

However, not long after walking, Su Hao felt out of breath, broke out in cold sweat, and his legs felt weak. Although there were trails created by the villagers who went up the mountain to collect firewood, Su Hao was still weak. This kind of

The deep mountains and old forests are still too reluctant.

Looking at the muscular Ding Xian and the four policemen in front of him, Su Hao looked envious. After he started practicing, he understood why Su An said that the paper man secret technique was not a good thing.

Because the secret technique of the paper man is a heretic, unlike the orthodox Taoist practice. The Taoist inner alchemy method is aimed at immortality. Even if you are a hundred years old, you can walk like flying. The secret technique of the paper man is completely performed by squeezing one's own energy and spirit.

The power of magic.

Very few ancestors of the Su family in the past have lived beyond the age of thirty-five. This is because after his great-grandfather obtained the Yangyuan Art, his father and grandfather lived to be in their thirties. The previous ancestors of the Su family even died at the age of twenty-four.

He died of illness on his bed.

"disease!"

After thinking for a moment, Su Hao waved his sleeves, and four paper figures and a roofless palanquin flew out of his sleeves. These were essential tools for the Su family to travel. The power of these four paper figures was no better than a third-rate martial artist.

Even if he is carried in deep mountains and dense forests, he can still walk quickly.

The next moment, the paper man and the sedan gradually grew in size. After a while, they became the size of an ordinary person. Su Hao boarded the sedan.

Seeing this scene, Ding Xian and the police officers were not surprised. They had accompanied Su An to kill evil sorcerers before, and they had already seen the Su family's paper figurine technique.

Without Su Hao's drag, the group's forward speed greatly increased.

"Uncle Fu, can our Su family practice martial arts?"

On the sedan chair, Su Hao looked solemn and said, now that he has no fame and fame, he has to practice this paper man's secret skill to keep the Su family's business. However, if he practices this paper man's secret skill for a long time, his life will be short.

He didn't want to die young.

He has no way to get the Taoist secret inner alchemy method, and even if he gets it, he doesn't dare to practice it. As a heretic, the Su family is not welcomed by the Taoist people.

As for his inheritance, he would just wait to be hunted to death.

However, it is not impossible for him to extend his life and maintain health. There are also many inner skills and mental methods in martial arts that are derived from Taoism and also have health-preserving effects, such as Wudang Sect and Shaolin Temple.

Among Wu fellow practitioners, there are those who practice Taoist inner alchemy and some who practice inner strength and mind.

If you can obtain a Taoist internal skill and mental method, it is not impossible to extend your life and maintain health. Moreover, compared to Taoist inheritance, the risk of planning this internal skill and mental method is much smaller. As long as you don't take action against a big sect like Wudang, it will not cause public outrage.

.

Uncle Fu, who had been hiding in Su Hao's sleeves, couldn't help but be startled when he heard Su Hao's words, but he quickly guessed Su Hao's thoughts and couldn't help but shook his head and said:

"Disaster!"

"Before, your Su family ancestors also sent their descendants to join the Huashan Sect and learn the Huashan Sect's inner strength and mental methods. However, the internal strength cultivation in the past ten years cannot withstand the destruction of the paper man's secret technique."

After a pause, Uncle Fu continued: "According to the speculations of your ancestors of the Su family, it takes at least the level of martial arts masters to offset the loss of energy and spirit caused by the paper man's secret technique."

Hearing Uncle Fu's words, Su Hao looked gloomy. If a martial arts master could reach the level of a martial arts master, why would he need to practice the paper man secret technique again.

Back then, Su An had practiced the secret art of paper figures for nearly twenty years, but he could only defeat one or two hundred people. However, let alone facing a martial arts master, even a first-class master, Su An did not dare to say that he would be able to do it.

You can escape safely, but you must know that martial arts masters are rare in the world.

Even those talented disciples of the great martial arts sects may not be able to reach the level of martial arts masters after decades of practice.

Even if he starts practicing now, whether he can reach the second-rate level of sixty-year-old skills by the time he dies is a question.

Thinking of this, Su Hao subconsciously looked at the enlightenment system. If he could find a way to obtain enlightenment points, he might not be able to reach the level of a martial arts master within twenty years.

As for giving up on practicing the paper man secret technique, Su Hao never thought that after two years of time travel, he had seen too many lives of the poor people in Yu County, so that he should give up his current wealthy life and live in a place where he could not afford to eat three meals a day.

He would rather live a short life!

The reason why the ancestors of the Su family would rather have a short life and pass on the secret art of paper man is that they don't want to live a life of facing the earth with their backs to the sky and having difficulty eating three meals a day.

What's more, in the Ming Dynasty, there will be constant natural and man-made disasters, refugees will appear everywhere, and they will have no ability to protect themselves. By then, life will be worse than death. People may cook them one day. You must know the tragic incidents of cannibalism recorded in history books.

It’s not made up!

"Master Su, this is the place where the first hunter disappeared."

After walking for nearly half an hour, Ding Xian suddenly stopped, pointed to the notch on a big tree and said: "These hunters go into the mountains together, and after they separate, they will leave marks on the places they pass, just in case.

, this mark was left by the hunter, but the mark disappeared here, so the hunter should have disappeared here."

After a pause, Ding Xian continued: "It's just that we and the hunters in the village searched the surrounding mountains and forests for ten miles, but we didn't find any traces."

"Leave it to me next."

Su Hao said to Uncle Fu in his sleeve: "Uncle Fu, please search the area nearby."

Although Uncle Fu is a ghost and should be afraid of the sun, but after so many years with the Su family, he has become a ghost cultivator, and with the paper man covering him, appearing in the sun for a short period of time will not have much impact.

"Okay, Master!"

Hearing this, Uncle Fu got out of Su Hao's sleeve, transformed into the size of a normal person, and then floated away, disappearing deep into the forest.

In less than half an hour, everyone saw Uncle Fu float out from the depths of the mountain forest.

Su Hao asked: "Uncle Fu, how is the situation?"

"Master, I have searched the area for several miles and found no resentment."

Uncle Fu's paper face was expressionless: "The missing Orion should not be dead, otherwise the people who died unjustly would be filled with resentment. Even if someone kills the unjust soul, this resentment will not dissipate within a few years."

"not dead?"

Hearing what Uncle Fu said, Ding Xian suddenly beamed with joy. There were quite a few missing people this time. If they could be found alive, it would be a great achievement. Maybe he could also take this opportunity to plan for the position of leader.

Although the Ming Dynasty prohibited subordinate officials from serving as officials, most of the officials looked down upon the ninth-grade and low-ranking officials like County Lord Bo and Dianshi, and they were basically selected from among the subordinate officials.

However, those officials who held the title of Juren looked down upon them, and they were still very jealous of the catchers. No matter how capable a catcher was, he was still an official.

If the county magistrate is displeased with him, he can leave at any time, and the wealthy squires in the county also look down on him as a catcher. But if he can be promoted to chief executive, he can truly be regarded as the number one person in Yu County.
