That night, Lu Cheng lay on the jade bed, his mind wandering, heading to another world.
The winter in this other world is very long. At this time, it is the Great Cold season, the sky is freezing, dripping water turns into ice, and the snow outside can bury people.
Qingmei sat bored at the table, drawing on the deerskin with a talisman pen in front of the oil lamp.
She knew very well that her master had two different souls. One of them was knowledgeable, gentle, and eloquent, while the other was taciturn and only knew how to practice martial arts. He especially liked to practice "Giant Spirit Fist" and often did not speak for a whole day.
, let alone teach her runes.
Suddenly, she heard her master speak: "Qingmei, have your skills improved these days?"
Qingmei suddenly turned around, her eyes were shining, and she shouted happily: "Brother, you are back! Why have you been gone for so long?"
Lu Cheng got off the wooden bed and said, "Let me see if you have broken through the sixth level of innateness."
"Brother, I have made a breakthrough!"
"Okay, how much of the "Lingsha Sutra" I taught you have you memorized?"
"I have memorized everything you taught me."
"Then I'll teach you some more."
Half an hour later, Lu Cheng stopped and asked Qingmei: "Did anything happen a few days ago? Did Wu Luo send someone to look for me?"
Qingmei replied: "Wu Qi came once and brought some Tochigi fruits. She said that Wu Luo was in retreat and asked you not to disturb her. This kind of fruit was gifted by her uncle Wu Jing. It was picked at the autumnal equinox and can
Enhance memory and 'never forget it'."
Lu Cheng remembered the last time he visited a Tochigi tree. It was the "Frost Descent" solar term at that time, and there were no fruits on the tree. It must have been picked first.
Qingmei took out five fruits from the storage bracelet and said: "Brother, these are the only ones left, the rest have been eaten."
Needless to say, most of them were eaten by Wu Kuang. These were specially kept by Qingmei because she was reluctant to eat them.
Lu Cheng put away the fruit and asked, "Where are Li Ju and Hu Qingying? Are they still in the feudal city?"
"Here, Hu Qingying got some specialties from Nan Qingqiu and asked Li Ju to help sell them in the feudal city, especially to the young people of the Yi tribe."
"What specialty?"
"The main ones are fruits, including oranges, oranges, oranges, oranges, loquats, persimmons, magnolia bark, jujube and bayberry, cherry pu Tao, Yin Fu Gao Di, and Da Li Zhi."
"What do you mean?"
"They are the ripe oranges, yellow tangerines, grapefruits, plums, loquats, jujubes, persimmons, sorbets, Magnolia officinalis, goat dates, bayberry, cherries, grapes, changdi, lychees and other fruits that are grown in Qingqiu Country.
Yes, it has a little aura, it is only effective for monks below the tenth level of martial arts, and has no effect on innate monks."
Lu Cheng said: "I will give you the Tiger King Pill and the Leopard King Pill. You can exchange them for fruits. You need some of each."
Qingmei asked: "Brother, if you want it, I'll get it."
"Don't owe any favors. I have no shortage of elixirs and jade coins."
"Brother, I understand, how much do you want to buy?"
"Ten pounds of each! I'll use them for sowing!"
"Okay, I'll go see how much is left tomorrow."
The next morning, Qingmei went out and returned at noon, bringing some fruits. In addition, there was a section of crystal white bones.
Lu Cheng suddenly looked at it and was shocked!
"Isn't this a human bone? Why did you bring it back? Do you want me to use it to make elixirs? I won't agree to this!"
Qingmei said: "Brother, I heard Hu Qingying say that this is a jade bone that the human race's heavenly warriors have practiced for thousands of years. It can be used to refine elixirs just like the spirit bones of monsters. However, there are restrictions in the way of heaven. Like is not the same."
Food, the elixir refined with it can only be taken by the demon race. If the human race swallows it, it will have to endure the backlash of heaven."
Lu Cheng shook his head: "Ask her to find someone else. I don't know how to refine such a pill."
"Brother, since you accepted the skull bowl, why can't you use human bones to make elixirs?"
"It's different."
"Brother, Hu Qingying said that if you help her refine the elixir, she will ask you to be Nan Qingqiu's honored guest."
"I won't take action. This is a human thigh bone. The thought of making it into elixir makes me shudder. My legs tremble and I tremble. It makes me feel that practicing is meaningless, even if I practice it all day long.
Wus and Tianwu masters also lack a sense of security and lose trust in the people around them. They are afraid of being framed, encountering accidents, and dying tragically. After death, their skulls are stolen, and the crystal jade bones are picked up and refined into elixirs.
, be swallowed again!"
The more Lu Cheng said, the uglier his face became. Looking at the smooth thigh bones, he felt a little sick.
Qingmei was frightened and said: "Brother, stop talking! I will return the jade bones to Hu Qingying."
After saying that, she ran out again and didn't come back until evening.
"Brother, Hu Qingying said that if you don't want to refine the 'Human King Pill', forget it, and I will ask you to refine other pills in the future. She asked me to hand you a cane as a deposit, and at the same time, it also means a kind of apology." Qingmei took out a cane inlaid with green jade and handed it to Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng took the cane and looked at it, and found that it was a peach wood cane, dark red in color, with dense runes on it, and there were also runes on the green jade handle, and said: "This cane seems to have some origins."
Qingmei said: "Hu Qingying said that this is the cane used by the Witch King a long time ago, and it comes from the same ancient tomb as the skull bowl."
"Did they dig it out of the grave? Didn't the fox girl steal it?"
"It is said that he came from Wuxian Kingdom to climb Baoshan Mountain, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
"What's the use of this cane?"
"I don't know."
Lu Cheng asked: "Do you know which Witch King left behind?"
Qingmei shook her head repeatedly.
Later, Lu Cheng summoned three waiters and gave each of them some pills.
Although it was winter, Ying Chu and Yao Shi still went out from time to time to hunt in the forest and brought back antelope, elk meat, fresh animal blood and black bear bile. They knew that Lu Cheng needed bear bile, so the hibernating black bears suffered. Three days later, Lu Cheng returned to modern times with his cane, some fruits, and deer blood.
He took out the fruits and asked Jiang Qiuyun and his little daughter to plant the cores in the garden after eating them. Although the garden was not big, a nursery could be opened as a place to cultivate seeds. When the seedlings grow, they would find a suitable place.
Transplant.

He then began studying walking sticks and skull bowls.
Before that, he used animal blood to draw talismans on the skull bowl every day. However, after more than two months of drawing, he still could not find the key to crack it. After all, the Witch King had too many runes, and it would be very difficult to crack it for a while.
Normal.
He recorded the runes on the cane, entered them one by one into the computer, and sorted them out clearly. Then he used animal blood to follow the diagram and drew the runes on the skull bowl.
After all, Lu Cheng received modern education, and he also graduated from a graduate school, and learned rigorous analysis methods. As a modern person, who does not have multiple online accounts? Which account does not have a password? If there are too many passwords, will it be forgotten? So ever
, someone uses a set of passwords to take over the world!
Because of this, Lu Cheng attaches great importance to the runes on the staff and suspects that the runes that open the skull bowl are hidden in the runes on the staff!
There are more than 600 runes on the cane.
As a single rune, there are more or less strokes. If it is placed on animal skin paper, as a record, it can be written very neatly. However, if it is used as a talisman, it will become a ghost-drawing talisman, with teeth and claws, dragons and phoenixes dancing, in different sizes. You can see
It's very messy.
Lu Cheng spent several days extracting 388 runes from the cane. After these runes were input into the computer, each rune corresponded to several variations.
Lu Cheng's computer contains 88,000 runes. Those runes may seem like a lot, but in fact, after arranging the many variations, there are less than 10,000 individual original runes.
388 runes, plus all variants, there are more than 3,000 in total.
Although the number is large, it is still much less than 88,000 runes!
Lu Cheng needs to try these three thousand runes one by one to see which one is the key to cracking the skull bowl.
