Late at night, my face was red and I was burping from wine. I had just returned from drinking at a friend's place and staggered open the door to my house.
"Damn it, didn't I just go to the capital with the caravan and make a windfall? What are you proud of? If I had the chance, I would make more than you!"
Huang Sheng walked crookedly and cursed as he entered the house. At this time, there was a crunching sound, accompanied by the sound of swallowing, as if someone was chewing something.
The sound reminded Huang Sheng of some horrific legends, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He was mostly awake from the wine at that time.
He carefully followed the direction of the sound and walked to the kitchen, only to see a woman squatting by the stove, holding something and biting it. It was his wife Wang.
Knowing the source of the sound, Huang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at Wang and cursed:
"What did you prodigal bitch eat in the middle of the night? I almost scared me to death!
You know how to eat and eat every day, but you can’t even give birth to a child even though you eat so much. Even a hen can lay an egg. Why am I raising you?
I've had bad luck in the past few years. I always lose every time I gamble. It's because you, a prodigal woman, got in the way!
Stop eating and go back to sleep!"
"But sir, I'm very hungry."
Mrs. Wang raised her head, her eyes were wide open and bloodshot, and she was still eating in her mouth.
Only then did Huang Sheng see that what she was chewing was a piece of dry and hard old bacon. No wonder it made that sound.
Wang's appearance made Huang Sheng's heart skip a beat, and he stuttered: "You're hungry...you can't eat raw food even if you're hungry."
"But I can't wait any longer."
When Ms. Wang stood up, Huang Sheng realized that her belly was already rounded, the rice and noodle bowls at home were all empty, and all the edible food in the kitchen had been dug out and eaten by Ms. Wang.
"Ms. sir, I'm so hungry."
Wang looked at Huang Sheng with red eyes.
This man who always beats and scolds her makes her very annoying. She hates when he goes out to gamble and drink.
But at this time, she felt that Huang Sheng was very pleasing to the eye, very... attractive, and his whole body exuded the fragrant smell of meat. Even the annoying smell of alcohol in the past reminded her of Deyuelou's drunkenness.
Chicken, that was a delicacy she only ate on the day of her engagement.
After swallowing the last bite of bacon, Wang's hand touched the kitchen knife beside her.
Huang Sheng backed away in horror, but accidentally tripped over the kitchen threshold.
"Ms. sir, I'm really hungry."
"ah!"
A shrill scream blended into the night, followed by the sounds of meat being chopped and gnawed.
…………
In a quiet room in Jingyesi, Luo County, a cylindrical boulder stood in front of Gu Cheng. His whole body energy was integrated into his fist, and he punched the boulder, making loud explosions and shock.
The force of the shock made Gu Cheng's arms numb, and his fists even had a layer of calluses.
In the month since he came to Jingyesi, Gu Cheng has almost been engaged in this kind of masochistic physical training.
Gu Cheng now has a paranoid desire for power. Tie Tianying's words had a great impact on Gu Cheng. The only one who can protect him is himself.
He didn't want to be chased by a killer sent by his aunt, and he didn't want to die inexplicably in this crisis-ridden world, so he could only use all his strength to improve his strength.
External training of muscles, bones and skin emphasizes the toughness of skin and flesh, strong muscles and bones, and the unity of Qi and strength.
Wu Gang's Notes is not a Kung Fu method, but its analysis of the important realm of external training is very detailed and transparent, and it even gives examples of more than a dozen cultivation methods.
At the moment, Gu Cheng's method of cultivation is the most effective but also the most painful.
To train your body, this method is to treat yourself as a piece of material and beat it repeatedly with external force.
This huge stone was given by Jingyesi for practice. He didn't know what material it was made of. It was very strong, but when Gu Cheng saw it, there were already some fist and palm prints on it.
Obviously he is not the only one who is willing to fight to the death, as there were people from Jingyesi who chose this self-abuse practice before.
However, by practicing in this way, Gu Cheng estimates that in three months, he will be able to reach the peak of the ninth level.
Gu Cheng has also practiced the "Yin Meridian Sutra" and "One-Word Yanyang Sword" obtained from Jingyesi of Heyang Prefecture.
The Yin Meridian is a Qi practitioner's technique. The pulses are yin and yang, and the Yin Meridian is where Qi is refined in the Yin meridians.
After practicing the Yin Meridian, Gu Cheng was finally able to confirm that the trace of power he got when he killed the ghost in the mountain temple was the Qi of the Qi Refiner.
However, Gu Cheng did not intend to practice the Yin Meridian.
As Tie Tianying said, human energy is limited, and the biggest possibility of practicing two paths at the same time is that neither reaches the peak.
Since killing ghosts can gain the power of a Qi Refiner, Gu Cheng plans to major in martial arts and refine Qi according to circumstances.
As for the Yizi Yanyang Sword, it is a sword move. The sword's energy and energy are combined into one, and the energy flows through the Yang channel, which can explode into a sword move as blazing as fire.
However, this sword move needs to be practiced at the eighth level, so that the energy can be released outwards to achieve the greatest effect.
Gu Cheng can't see a single spark when he uses it now.
Taking a towel to wipe the sweat off his head, Gu Cheng opened the door of the quiet room and prepared to go back and take a rest.
At this time, Xiao Yi suddenly ran over and shouted: "Cheng...Brother Gu, we have a mission. Sir, please call us over."
Gu Cheng nodded and immediately followed Xiao Yi to the lobby.
In the past month, he had seen people from Jingyesi go on missions, but most of them were minor matters.
For example, people in a certain village mistakenly buried corpses in a corpse-raising field, and zombies were raised as a result.
There are also some mountain spirits that harass people, etc. Most of them are not harmful and can be dealt with by a team of Jingyesi Xuanjia Guards.
At this time, there were already seven or eight Xuanjia guards in the lobby. Meng Hantang was sitting in the center. Two detectives wearing soap clothes and slightly pale faces were talking to Meng Hantang.
Meng Hantang looked at the two detectives and said calmly: "So, you didn't see ghosts, you just killed people. Then you dare to report it to Jingyesi? Do you really think that the people in Jingyesi are all idle?"
One of the detectives said quickly: "Sir, please calm down. Although people are killing people, the scene... yuck!"
The detective retched and said with force, "That scene is definitely not normal, and it is definitely not something a human being can do. The adults of Jingyesi will know it once you go and take a look."
Meng Hantang thought for a while, glanced at the Xuanjia guards below and said: "Wang Qi, Zhao Jingming, Xiao Yi, Gu Cheng, you two groups should go over and take a look."
"As you command, my lord!"
The four of them followed the two detectives to the scene of the incident. Xiao Yi followed Gu Cheng and whispered: "Brother Gu, I told you that Mr. Meng is cold-faced and hot-hearted. You can tell by looking at today's arrangements."
Gu Cheng was surprised: "Why do you say that?"
Xiao Yi said: "Wang Qi and Zhao Jingming are almost the two oldest and strongest people in our Luo County Jingyesi Division. Let us act together with them. Your Majesty also wants them to take care of us, and
I chose this kind of mission where I don’t see any danger at the moment.”
Gu Cheng nodded understandingly. In fact, Gu Cheng had been practicing almost all of this month. Except for Xiao Yi, he really didn't communicate with anyone else. Most of them were just acquaintances.
"By the way, Xiao Yi, which path are you practicing? Why do I rarely see you practicing in a quiet room?"
Xiao Yi smiled and said: "I focus on cultivating Qi. I can just meditate on the bed."
Gu Cheng was a little surprised and said, "Your major is actually Qi refining?"
Cui Zijie and Tie Tianying both said that Qi refining is difficult to get started and takes too long. Except for qualified sects and aristocratic families, few people choose to major in Qi refining.
Xiao Yi smiled bitterly and said: "I also want to practice martial arts, but unfortunately I am weak and sick, and I am not naturally suitable for practicing martial arts.
I heard that Brother Gu only took a few hours to sense the flow of meridians, but it took me a full half a year. Even now, I can't reach the integration of muscles, bones, skin and flesh, and I can only go to the main level to get started.
Cultivation Qi.
Fortunately, I was born as a Taoist priest, and I do have a little bit of talent as a Qi practitioner. Perhaps the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty would appreciate it."
Xiao Yi laughed twice more, looking very optimistic.
"Have you ever been a Taoist priest?"
Xiao Yi nodded: "I was abandoned by my parents because I was weak since I was a child. It was my master who picked me up. However, although my master is a Taoist priest, he is not a practitioner. He only knows how to read Taoist scriptures for people.
Later, something happened in the Taoist temple, and a resentful ghost was provoked. Master stepped forward to save me and several pilgrims, but was killed by the resentful ghost. Fortunately, Commander Cui arrived in time and rescued me.
At that time, I was already weak and sick, and I was also contaminated with evil spirits, so Commander Cui made an exception and brought me into the Jingyesi Division for training, otherwise I might not be alive today."
Gu Cheng patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder.
The world is difficult, and life is not easy for anyone.
Xiao Yi did not look sad, but smiled and said: "Master told me that everything should look better.
I was destined to die young, but I was able to live to such an old age. One more day of living is a day of gain, so I am very happy every day.
Although the master is dead, he saved me and saved a few pilgrims, so his merits are immeasurable, and he will definitely be rewarded in the next life."
As they talked along the way, everyone arrived at a house in the east of the city.
At this time, the house had been sealed off, with several policemen standing guard outside, and some idlers poking their heads outside to watch the fun.
"Spread out! What's there to see?"
The police officer dispersed the crowd, took Gu Cheng and others to the kitchen, and said with a pale face: "Sir, please go and see, I don't dare to go in."
Zhao Jingming and Wang Qi were the first to step into the kitchen, followed by Chu Xiu and Xiao Yi.
In the kitchen, a woman in her thirties had a huge bulging belly and fell beside the stove with red eyes. The ground was covered with blood and there was half a man's body.
The corpse was covered with gnawed marks, chewed flesh and blood, chopped bones, and the internal organs had been pulled out and covered the ground.
"vomit!"
Xiao Yi couldn't bear it and retched twice.
Zhao Jingming and Wang Qi's expressions remained unchanged. For veteran Jingyesi Xuanjiawei like them, they had seen scenes more disgusting than this, so this was nothing.
They also looked at Gu Cheng in surprise, because Gu Cheng behaved very calmly. He didn't look like a newcomer.
