The two of them sipped Spirit Wine, each thinking.
I don't know how long it took, but Wei Hongqing asked, "Xiaolou, what did you think about it?"
Liu Xiaolou took a deep breath. "The man surnamed Hou snatched away the formation disk that I worked so hard to refine. He said that he wanted me to exchange it with Lord Xingde's news. I searched for Seventeen kinds of materials for that formation disk and almost broke my legs. It took three months of hard work and five spiritual stones to refine it. It's too difficult. I don't even know if I will have a chance to refine the next formation disk."
Wei Hongqing fell into silence again. After a long time, he nodded. "You go to Yangliu Bay's house first and wait for my news."
Liu Xiaolou said no more, stood up and left. Returning to this abandoned house, I found a room and sat down to practice. Holding the spiritual stone in hand, I started to attack Laogong point.
Laogong point is located in the palm of your hand. Once this point is opened, it can relieve the five upsets and heat, suppress anxiety and restlessness, and is of great benefit in meditation practice. Moreover, Laogong point is also a famous acupuncture point for accumulating true energy. As soon as Liu Xiaolou started practicing, he immediately realized that in order to open this acupoint and fill the acupoint pool, at least four or five spiritual stones would be spent.
I only have four yuan left on me, and I don't know if it will be enough.
But again, if you sharpen your weapon in battle, the disadvantages are negligible. One more point of conversion is one point.
After practicing alone in the deserted house for three days, Liu Xiaolou suddenly heard movement outside the courtyard. He got up to check and saw a head protruding from the wall of the courtyard.
Their eyes met, Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but smile, "Brother Tan."
Tan Bazhang turned over and came in, hehehe said, "Come, come, Xiaolou feels so comfortable."
Liu Xiaolou sighed, "Where can I feel at ease? I am so worried."
Tan Bazhang patted his shoulder, walked around the house, and said with emotion, "It's been a year before I know it. Do you think this house has been abandoned for a year, will it be haunted? I heard that after death, if Divine Sense is strong, it will remain in the world. It is what the world often calls ghosts. That's why there are all kinds of ghosts and gods that surpass ordinary people..."
Liu Xiaolou rolled his eyes. "Even... what is that called? By the way, even if Lu Zi'an and Ping Gu turned into ghosts, they are not here. They are buried a hundred miles away to the east."
Tan Bazhang added, "Remember, there wasn't bacon hanging under the kitchen? Why is it gone? I wanted to steam two pieces to eat..."
Liu Xiaolou said, "There are no ghosts, but there are wild cats and dogs. How could they be kept waiting for you?"
Just as he was talking, Wei Hongqing also came. "Who is waiting for Eight Palms?"
Tan Bazhang said, "Brother Wei, have you improved your cultivation level again? You feel Chuyi taller than me..."
Wei Hongqing patted him. "Hold on, don't slack off for a day."
Tan Bazhang said disappointedly, "How can I hurry up? I am busy working with rice, rice, oil and salt all day long, and I have to find ways to earn spiritual stones after filling my stomach. It is better to go to a big sect and focus on cultivation without being bothered by trivial matters. I think I have made rapid progress, but I am far from opening up the nine Hand Jueyin Meridian acupoints. I am still stagnant on Neiguan point."
Liu Xiaolou showed off. "Is it an internal level? I'm not talented, I just cleared it not long ago."
Tan Bazhang's eyes widened. "Are you practicing Hand Jueyin Meridian at the third level? Oh, Xiaolou, tell me, how did you get through the inner gate? This acupoint is too tough, and I can't use any force. It seems that the greater the impact, the stronger the rebound. I have already spent three spiritual stones on Neiguan point!"
Liu Xiaolou said, "Normally three spirit stones should be enough. Hand Jueyin Meridian The real big player who eats the true essence is Laogong point. If I break through the inner pass, it will only take less than three spirit stones. After listening to what Brother Tan just said, I thought maybe we could use a roundabout strategy."
Tan Bazhang was anxious. "What should I say?"
Liu Xiaolou said, "If you are in a hurry, go through the outer door first, knock on the left and right, and hold the key to the inner door."
Seeing Tan Bazhang reciting silently and thinking attentively, Liu Xiaolou smiled and said, "Just remember, cultivation is not something to rush. When you have free time, Brother Tan can find a girl to practice double cultivation and study it carefully."
Tan Bazhang suddenly said, "Is it your Three Xuan Sect secret method of yin and yang? Brother Wei, you have a lot of experience, do you think it is possible?"
Liu Xiaolou smiled and said nothing, Wei Hongqing laughed and scolded, "How come I have so much experience? What nonsense!"
The three of them were talking and laughing in the courtyard. Late at night, Zuo Gaofeng was the last one to arrive. He apologized repeatedly. "I'm late. I'm late. I was passing by Songmao Ping in the evening. The mountain collapsed and crushed half of the village. I was busy rescuing people, so I was late."
Wei Hongqing asked hurriedly, "Songmao Ping? How are the casualties?"
Zuo Gaofeng sighed, "The seven brothers Yellow Leaf Immortal, Zhang Shihua, Guzhang Mountain, and Old Hu Du are all here, and I also helped. Most of the villagers were rescued, and the injuries were not serious. However, the old couple of the Lin family did not escape. They died, leaving only the Lin family's son, the only seedling."
Liu Xiaolou felt heavy. "The Lin family's baby is only three years old..."
Zuo Gaofeng nodded and said, "So according to the old rules, everyone discussed it and found a family to foster her in the village. Those who had a lot of money would donate a tael of silver. By the way, Songmao Ping chose Lin Laoshi. They have been childless and agreed to treat Lin Wa's son as his own."
Liu Xiaolou and Wei Hongqing both said, "The person who has been entrusted to me can count on me."
Tan Bazhang said, "I will donate ten taels!"
Zuo Gaofeng shook his head. "Brother Tan just went up the mountain not long ago. Let me tell you, if the brothers on each mountain top are willing to donate to support the mountain people, it is enough to collect a few dozen taels of silver as an example. Don't accept more donations, otherwise it will break the rules and lead to a bad outcome, which is not a long-term solution."
Tan Bazhang nodded. "I understand, long-term is the right way."
Zuo Gaofeng added, "In addition to the pension, there is also the reconstruction of Songmao Ping. Songmao Ping is close to the seven brothers Guzhang Mountain., the work was taken care of by them, and more than a dozen fellow Daoists were involved, so we still needed a lot of money to buy utensils, food and clothing for the villagers. At that time, everyone discussed and donated 2 taels if they could..."
"I'll take one!"
"Me too!"
"Same!"
Zuo Gaofeng collected the money on the spot. Although each person only paid a few taels, Wei Hongqing, Liu Xiaolou, and Tan Bazhang all paid the money seriously. Tan Bazhang did not have any broken silver, and it was Liu Xiaolou who exchanged it for him.
After saying this, everyone looked at Wei Hongqing, and Wei Hongqing said, "Brother Zuo and Eight Palms are invited to come over today because Xiaolou met We've reached a point of difficulty. Let me reiterate that this matter is not trivial, the risks are high, and the benefits are unknown, and there may even be no benefits. It's still the same old rules, Brother Zuo and Eight Palms can choose to participate, or they can choose not to participate..."
Zuo Gaofeng said, "Now that I'm here, I'm willing to do it. My brother is in trouble, so why talk about the benefits? As for the risks, what can we, Wulong Mountain comrades, do without risk?"
Tan Bazhang also said, "Brother Wei just tell me, where are you going? Who are you doing?"
Wei Hongqing nodded. "Qingyu Sect inner door Officer, Hou Sheng. This person Qi Refining tenth layer, there is Qingyu Sect Lidi Sanyuan Rope is in my hand. It is said that Taoyuan Mountain Range has the power of a hundred battles and has never failed. Moreover, there is something special about his behavior. He always acts alone and rarely associates with other people in the sect. However, I also borrowed a good thing and unexpectedly defeated him Qingyu Sect Soul Manipulation Technique."
Zuo Gaofeng and Tan Bazhang looked at each other and high-fived at the same time. "Done!"
