Legend has it that when yin and yang meet at midnight, many demons and monsters will appear in the world.
In fact, it is.
Most of the thieves, criminals who are afraid of crime and absconding, and gangsters who harbor evil intentions will be around in the middle of the night, just like maggots in the gutter.
Some dirty and shady organizations will also choose to open after [00:00].
The Ghost Tower in Sichun City is a place that people from all three religions and nine streams must know about.
It is said that as long as you give money, even the stars in the sky can be obtained for you.
If you want to kill someone, find someone, get away with it, smuggle, steal, or even want to be promoted, you can definitely go to them.
Of course, the premise of everything is money, money, money. It’s okay to give enough money and let the people in the ghost house kneel down and lick your boots.
Some people say that the mission of these people in life is to make money.
Anyway, those who went in could not save even a tael of money when they came out, and none of them felt that they had lost money. This shows that the "little devil" makes people spend money.
In the east of the city, not far from the city wall, there is a small building with a decent area and only three stories high. Each of the eaves above hangs a pale lantern.
On each lantern, there was a big grimace painted on it, which made me feel frightened when I saw it.
The interior of the building is in inverse proportion to the brightly lit, luxurious Goulan brothel and other places.
Wisps of misty light emanated from the window.
Black figures came in and out one after another.
Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.
Two people wearing kid masks stood straight at the door, guarding it.
He Zhao, who was fully prepared, stepped in.
"Another business came in."
Directly opposite the main entrance is a counter.
On the stage, two thick candles were burning. Behind the stage, an old man with gray hair sat. His voice was slightly hoarse and made him feel uncomfortable.
The flickering candlelight, coupled with the ferocious mask with a grimace, gives people the illusion of being in hell.
"Tell me, what do you want when you come to our ghost house? Kill, set fire, get promoted, sell stolen goods, escape guilt, steal, buy and sell information. As long as you have money, we dare to do anything and are capable of it!"
The confidence in his tone was overwhelming.
"I have a lot to do. Can I find a quiet room to talk in detail?"
After the words fell, the old man opposite smiled.
Although there was a mask between them, the person named He was sure that the other person must have smiled!
"Hey, I didn't expect him to be a wealthy businessman. I don't want to ask anything else, I just want to ask one thing."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Have you brought the money? Have you brought enough?"
Hearing this, the famous ruthless man touched the broad sleeves of his robe.
"Enough, not only enough, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it."
"Okay, okay, I'll talk to you personally."
After saying that, the old man stood up, picked up the candle on the counter, turned around and walked towards the back.
He Zhao followed closely, fearing that if he accidentally lost him, another hundred or so masters would appear, claiming that he had ulterior motives, and would kill him with knives.
When he reached the stairs to the second and third floors, he subconsciously looked back and saw an old man with gray hair sitting behind the counter and lighting a candle again.
‘Damn it, master!
’
For three or four seconds, in a quiet environment, I was so stunned that I didn't realize how the other party showed up.
It is indeed a ghost house that claims not to let guests take away a tael of silver.
Inexplicably, he has more confidence in a group of guys who hide their heads and show their tails.
An old man and a young man came all the way to the third floor.
When passing by other rooms, I could only see the dim candlelight, but could not hear the conversations of the people inside.
"Don't worry, every room in the ghost building is equipped with sound insulation. Don't talk quietly, even if there is a fight, the outside world will only hear slight noises."
Maybe it was because of the big customer, so the old man patiently explained it to him.
"Squeak!"
Pushing open the innermost door, two people filed in.
"Tell me about it."
The old man placed the candle on the table, sat on the main seat and asked.
"First of all, I want you to inquire about Fan Zhong's news. Everything is as detailed as possible. The more detailed the better."
"Fan Zhong, a famous medical expert. Please pay a deposit of 10,000 taels of silver first. We will consider the cost based on the information we have collected. We may refund some money or ask you to add more money. Do you have any objections?"
He had a lot of objections to this!
How much you charge is not decided by you.
"Can."
After he finished speaking, he took out ten bearer banknotes with a face value of one thousand taels of silver and handed them over.
"Haha, I just like you, a high-stakes person who doesn't bargain. Newcomers who come to Guilou for the first time always think that we are just hawkers on the street."
The old man stretched out his hand to take it, and with the help of the weak candlelight, he could clearly see the other person's hand, like a dry tree.
However, there is no doubt that the tiny arm shaped like a dead bone can easily tear his own throat.
Humans have a sixth sense, perhaps derived from ancestral genes, and have a unique perception of certain dangers.
As for Lianjiazi, there are not many skills to identify masters, it all depends on feeling.
When he entered the ghost building, the old man looked like an ordinary old man in the market. But when he stretched out his hand, his sixth sense told him that the other party was dangerous, very dangerous.
"Don't worry, no killing is allowed in the ghost building, especially customers. As long as you don't make trouble, we will definitely not do anything to you. Otherwise, decades of reputation will be destroyed in one day."
Seemingly seeing through He Zhao and his own strength, the old man told him the rules.
"I'm not a troublemaker."
After a pause, he said again.
"I would like to ask you to help me find a secret book called "Four Forms of Sanshou". The moves and prescriptions are all indispensable." After the master finished speaking, it was the turn of personal matters.
"Looking for a book? We'll accept it and charge you five thousand taels of silver. Again, it all depends on how much effort we expend. The money may be refunded or added."
"good."
He took out five banknotes from his sleeve and handed them forward.
Madan, I didn’t see anything. I sent out fifteen thousand taels of bearer banknotes first.
It deserves to be called a ghost building. No, no, no, let’s change its name to the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Anyway, people have peeled off a layer of their skin.
"Any more?"
"Practice one of the Eight Forms of Diamond."
"Well, for one thousand taels of silver, we will give you the secret book. For three thousand taels of silver, we will give you the secret book with annotations. For five thousand taels of silver, I will find someone skilled in the "Eight Forms of Diamond" to teach you. For ten thousand taels of silver,
Let a senior disciple of the sect teach you personally. If you can spare one hundred thousand taels, the master of the sect will teach you step by step."
The old man thought for a moment and gave five plans, increasing the price one by one.
""
You are still awesome.
As long as the money is in place, the owner of a certain profession can teach me step by step?
Admire, admire.
The tentacles of the ghost building stretch out long enough!
"One thousand taels."
"good."
【-1000 taels of bearer banknote】
"Any more?"
"I need the "Bone Tempering Method", and I need an expert to explain it to me in detail, from the beginning of luck to the next level. In addition, I will ask various questions during the period. As long as I can answer them one by one,
Money is not an issue.”
"hey-hey."
The old man laughed, and even laughed, although the sound was unpleasant, like the roar of an evil spirit.
"Coincidentally, I am an expert. One question, one thousand taels! As for the "Bone Tempering Method", there are not only some, but many. Any sect with a name in the north usually has a collection. However, "Bone Tempering Method"
》There are high and low prices, and the price is uncertain.”
"I'm not short of money."
During these days, the money provided by wealthy households was too much, and He Zhao was extremely wealthy.
Isn’t the silver meant for spending?
Being stingy is like an iron rooster. Keeping it in your hands will only increase your wealth in vain. Spending it can make you stronger, no matter how much money you have.
"Ask first, and then choose "Bone Tempering Method" after asking."
"May I ask the old gentleman if he knows about the medicinal bath at Qingshan Gate?"
When the old man heard this, he chuckled.
"As for qi, Patriarch Qingshan is indeed a strange person. He actually used medicinal baths to stimulate the qi in advance that people can only come into contact with when entering the internal organs.
Well, you may not understand it. Starting from the first level of martial arts, it is divided into training, medicinal bath, energy movement, bone tempering, internal organs, and transformation.
I don't know if there is any below. Yun Jin is the infusion of energy by outsiders, so that people can give birth to their own energy. Because of the interference of external forces, it is also called external energy.
After the external energy is used to temper the bones and connect them into one piece, the external energy transforms into internal energy. If the internal organs are dirty, use internal energy to remove them. After that, the organs will be clear and clear, and the internal energy will transform into qi.
Qi, which is invisible and has no quality, can be transformed into true qi with the "Transformation of Zhen Method". True qi has many functions, and they are so wonderful that only a practitioner at the level of transformation can understand them."
666, I finally found a big boss.
So, he hurriedly asked again.
"Dare I ask, can Qi temper bones?"
"Yes! External energy transforms into internal energy, and internal energy transforms into Qi. What external energy can do, why can't Qi? Not only can it, but if Qi is used to temper bones, according to my opinion, it should be faster than external energy, and also
Be strong!"
Okay, okay, a stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground.
Of course, even if he can't, he can still spend some money and let the people in Guilou help him realize the external energy.
"Besides the "Bone Tempering Method", what other methods are there in the future?"
"The "Bone Tempering Method", the "Decontamination Method", and the "Zhen Transformation Method" each have their own strengths in the northern sects. For example, there are three sects in Sichun City: Xingyimen, Liuhemen, and Qingshanmen.
Once the "Bone Tempering Technique" is mastered, they will be strong and powerful, and they can easily break some weapons. Even if they are bombarded with heavy hammers, they cannot damage the bones. Ordinary practitioners will fight with them.
If you do two moves, you will end up with broken bones and tendons.
The Liuhe Sect's "Bone Tempering Technique" does not have the same "Bone Tempering Technique" as its rivals, which makes the bones extremely hard. However, the flexibility is too much beyond theirs, and they can often make all kinds of incredible movements. They can take people's lives by surprise.
As for Qingshan Gate”
The old man shook his head, as if he did not comment.
It seems too bad to be bothered to say anything.
"The "Decontamination Method" is even more particular. It is directly related to the quality and quantity of the internal energy you have developed. A good "Decontamination Method" has inner energy that contains magic. When you use it, you can get rid of the garbage in one move. "Decontamination Method"
"Dharma" Ten Moves.
Let’s not talk about the "Transformation of Truth", let alone the fact that we don’t have it in the Ghost Tower. Fortunately, I have lived for more than fifty years, and I have never met an expert in transforming the truth. I have always been in a state of hearsay."
He Zhao pondered for a moment and then made a decision in his mind.
"The "Bone Tempering Method" and the "Decontamination Method", I want to be strong. One move can kill someone, never the second move. It is best to be particularly resistant to beatings, without fear of siege."
""
I understand, you kid is afraid of death!
"There is a ghost building, but it's hard to practice. I'm afraid you won't be able to persist." After saying that, he looked up and down a few times, looking extremely distrustful.
""
Old guy, if I couldn't beat you, believe it or not, I would rise up in a matter of seconds and pick up a stool to crush you?
"I am not afraid of hardship, but I am not afraid of hardship."
"Ten taels of silver."
"How about ten taels of silver?"
The famous ruthless man who was taking out the banknotes was immediately stunned.
There were always ten thousand taels or five thousand taels in the front, but when it was the turn of the "Bone Tempering Method", it dropped to the price of cabbage?
"Hey, a hundred years ago, an expert who focused on practicing kung fu created a book called "Thousands of Temperings" on bone-tempering methods. Unfortunately, after writing it, he was old and about to be buried.
Later, when his descendants practiced it, they felt severe pain all over their bodies and had to give up. However, in order to pass on this method, they accepted several disciples.
But, without exception, they all failed. So, with a cruel heart, he announced the method to the world. Then, hundreds of practitioners at the level of luck died overnight.
According to those who survived, bone quenching is a hundred times more painful than scraping bones with a steel knife. Many masters have seen it, and most of them think it is okay. According to "Thousands of Temperings", after training, the physical body must be ranked first.
It’s a pity that no one has been able to persevere in the past hundred years.”
""
Damn, you're a shabby sect. If you charge me ten taels of silver, are you feeling guilty?
"Don't think that ten taels of silver is expensive. Guilou's "Thousands of Tempered" is a rubbing from the original version. There are no errors and it is well preserved. For ten taels of silver, I will charge you a storage fee at best."
"How much does it cost to practice a "Bone Tempering Technique"?"
"Three thousand taels."
"Crack!"
He Zhao slapped the sixty silver notes on the table, and the extra three thousand taels were the money for the question he just asked.
“How about a ride on ‘Hardcore’?”
"Okay, it's rare to meet a wealthy businessman like you."
The old man nodded and stuffed the banknote into his sleeve.
“What do you recommend about the Decontamination Law?”
"Hey, the "Decontamination Method" does not recommend the sects in Sichuan City. Have you heard of the thirteen clans in the northern grassland? One of the clans is called Huo Man. Their "Decontamination Method" is extremely violent and very powerful at the same time. Price
Well, it’s a little more expensive, the price is only 50,000 taels.”
"Crack!"
Fifty bearer banknotes were slapped on the table again.
"Money is never an issue."
"Quickly, I will give you another piece of flint. That thing is a must-have for practicing the "Decontamination Method" of the Fire Man Clan, and the price is not cheap. Speaking of which, you are the first one to get it from me.
Where’s the giveaway person?”
I spent tens of thousands of taels on your second uncle?
Ten thousand taels (inquiry about Fan Zhong's news) + five thousand taels (information about the four Sanshou movements) + one thousand taels (the secret book of "Eight Movements of King Kong") + three thousand taels (three questions) + three thousand taels (Xingyimen "
