I have an eternal eye

"Zhang Captou, you haven't been here for a while!"

In Renxintang, shopkeeper Wu Deyong saw Zhang Biao appearing and quickly stepped forward to say hello.

Zhang Biao looked around casually and said: "I have left the six gates, and there is no need to call me a head catcher anymore."

"oh?"

Wu Deyong was surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions.

After Zhang Biao looked around, he shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, I think your business is not doing well."

"Who says it isn't?"

When Wu Deyong heard this, he immediately lamented: "If something happens to the source of medicine, it's okay for those medicine halls with strong backgrounds to say that our business will almost not be able to continue."

Zhang Biao sighed, and then asked: "The prices of other medicinal materials have increased. How is the market for tonics such as golden bird's nest?"

“It’s rising even more fiercely!”

Wu Deyong shook his head and said: "These are not only medicines, but also excellent nourishing products. They are indispensable as gifts for wealthy people, and there are fewer and fewer products on the market."

Zhang Biao smiled and said: "That's just right. It cost a lot to buy medicine a while ago, so I had to sell some belongings."

With that said, he took out the golden bird's nest and sea horse, and slowly opened the paper package.

"Hey, it looks good..."

Shopkeeper Wu became excited when he saw it.

In the end, the two settled the deal for fifty taels of silver.

Don't underestimate these, shopkeeper Wu can make a net profit of ten taels when he changes hands, while Zhang Biao only sells a small share.

After selling off what is left at home, I can get almost a thousand taels of silver, which can be regarded as relieving the urgent need.

…

"Go! Go! Go!"

As soon as he left Renxintang, Zhang Biao saw a waiter pushing an old man at the door of the medicine hall opposite.

Although this old man was wearing a Confucian robe, it was washed white and covered with patches, making him look a little shabby.

His voice trembled, and he begged: "Brother, can you please ask Shopkeeper Wang for mercy? It's a good thing and it's cheaper."

The waiter said impatiently: "This is a medicine hall, not a charity hall. It's like you, why don't we do it! Let's go, don't get in the way here!"

After that, he turned around and returned to the store.

The old man stood for a while, trembling all over, but he could only sigh and stumble away.

When Zhang Biao saw it, he could only shake his head slightly.

As the saying goes, "When you hit the iron, you take the medicine." People's lives are difficult and their houses are okay, but these two things can easily drain their family savings.

In Anrenfang, this kind of situation where people could not afford medicine was very common in the past.

Nowadays, the price of common medicinal materials has more than tripled, and the people have no savings and cannot afford it.

But there is nothing anyone can do about this.

The weather in various places was abnormal. Not only medicinal materials, but also food were seriously damaged. The subsequent famine was a big problem.

When……

There may be a big change in the Liang Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart. He cheered up and went to Anzhenfang.

What he didn't notice was that a cross-eyed man in Anrenfang had already trotted quickly, secretly catching up with the old man in Confucian robes just now, and whispered:

"Old man, medicine is so expensive now that no one can afford it. Have you ever heard of Mrs. Bai of Tongyifang?"

"Her old man's talisman water is very effective..."

…………

When I returned to Anzhenfang, it was already Youshi.

On the way, I happened to meet my neighbor, Mr. Zhou.

"Zhang Captou, where have you been these past two days?"

"Some miscellaneous things, and I've already resigned from six jobs. Don't call me the head catcher in the future."

"ah?"

Old man Zhou was obviously a little surprised. He hesitated and asked cautiously: "Zhang Captou, you have a lot of experience. I heard that all the common people who presented auspiciousness to the emperor have become officials?"

Zhang Biao was a little surprised, "The saint is very auspicious. Being an official is not a problem, but the rewards are indispensable."

"Why, Uncle Zhou has some auspicious things to offer?"

"How can this old man have that thing..."

Father Zhou smiled honestly and left quickly.

Zhang Biao was speechless and shook his head slightly.

He has been dealing with all kinds of religions all year round, and his eyes are so poisonous that it is impossible not to see that there is something weird about this old man.

However, he didn't bother to ask more questions.

The emperor is so auspicious. From officials to common people, there are many people who want to achieve great success in this way. It is not a strange thing.

When I returned home, I saw the autumn sun setting in the west, the afterglow pouring over the small courtyard, the shadows of the trees mottled, and the golden light shining through the windows, making it look warm and peaceful.

Zhang Biao took the decoction, stood in a stance and practiced Qi, then made a pot of tea, sat at the table and spread out a piece of paper.

In the inheritance of Nuo noodles, another important point is mentioned.

There are many Dharma schools in the world that rely on external forces to improve oneself and gradually move towards the path of cultivation.

The general method is to use external forces to improve Taoism and practice, and then adapt to stronger external forces.

If you act too hastily, you may be accidentally affected by external forces and have dire consequences.

If you take Waidan, erysipelas will accumulate and become addictive, affecting the mind and corroding the body...

If there is a method of controlling beasts, you can connect your energy and blood with the spirit beasts and practice with the power of the spirit beasts. However, if you lose control, you will have symptoms of animal transformation...

For example, Master Yan can rely on mechanism skills to make powerful puppets with spiritual materials and use the power of the puppets to practice, but sometimes his mind will be eroded by the puppets...

There is no power without paying a price.

For example, his Three Yang Meridians are mixed with the method of taking them. For now, it's okay to say that if you find any magic medicine in the future, you have to be very careful when taking it.

Fang Xiangzong is a bit similar to Yanshi and Sword Cultivator. They both borrow artifacts to practice, but the latter two are puppets and swords, while Fang Xiangzong uses Nuo noodles.

This does not mean that we cannot practice together.

But every time you practice another method, the risk of losing control will double.

Zhang Biao was naturally cautious.

His plan is still to focus on the Three Yang Sutra and not to practice the "Ming Ling Sutra" without Nuo noodles. He will simply use it as a magical tool to travel through the spiritual world.

Yes, he has decided to explore the spirit world.

Cultivating Zhenqi is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Now that the world is changing and all kinds of evil things are breeding and brewing, you must have self-protection techniques.

This Nuo-faced border beam should also be a magical weapon for monks in the Qi refining period. It records twelve kinds of tricks and four methods of making tricks.

Among them, there are four kinds of tricks at the first level of Huangpin, namely: ecstasy, shadow escape, dark fire, and evil curse.

To be honest, there are only these four.

Because the remaining eight types are the second and third grades of these four tricks, they are called twelve types only because of the different materials and levels.

Among them, it goes without saying that there is magic and enchantment.

Trickery: Shadow Escape is an escape technique that allows you to escape and wander in the shadows. Its main material is the remnants of the ghost that Grandma Wu transformed into.

Trickery: Hellfire is a yin fire spell that requires incense ashes, bone powder of the dead from the spirit world, and some brimstone and saltpeter.

Trickery: Yin curse is a kind of curse, which collects the resentment of evil ghosts and attaches it to objects, such as copper coins, Buddhist beads, etc., and casts it on the enemy.

The four kinds of magic weapons are the ecstasy mirror, the ghost cloak, the hell fire gourd and the evil curse bracelet.

That's right, it corresponds to four kinds of tricks.

The advantage of the trick weapon is that it is easy to use. It only needs to be repaired regularly, and it can be used faster when fighting the enemy.

As for the refining method of Nuo noodles, it is a pity that only the sect has it, and it is used to control the disciples.

Before I knew it, it was already dark.

Zhang Biao lit candles, wrote and drew, and thought in his heart.

The spiritual world must be entered and explored.

He has ignited the Three Yang True Fire and added the Nuo Face Liang. Be careful and avoid danger, and you will always gain something.

But you have to wait until the true energy is deeper to avoid being in danger and not having enough strength to use true fire.

Moving should also be put on the agenda.

Even if you get the materials and practice trickery, you still need a secluded place to avoid being discovered.

But practicing in isolation is unrealistic.

He has no sect support, and at this stage, only the capital, a prosperous place, can gather products from all over the world.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao took out the map of Jade Capital City from his arms.

After checking it carefully, his attention was attracted by Fengyifang in the west of the city.

Fengyifang is famous in Yujing for its funeral industry.

Most of the residents in the square make this business, and most of them sell coffins, paper figurines, and incense candle shops.

Although burying ancestors has been a great ritual since ancient times, it is somewhat unlucky after all.

Especially every night, the paper money left behind by the coffins and funerals in Fengyifang fly around, paper people and horses are placed in the shops along the street, and the big white lanterns sway in the wind, which is very scary.

Therefore, there are relatively few residents in Fengyifang, and many of them work here during the day and leave at night.

In order to make paper wreaths, the square was filled with bamboos, and several large bamboo groves were formed in remote places.

Zhang Biao was attracted to this place because there was a small collapsed Taoist temple in the wasteland of the bamboo forest.

It looks dilapidated, but in fact it is an entrance to the underground passage of Yujing City.

This entrance is very wonderful. Below it is a warehouse left behind by Emperor Wu, and it is far away from the dangerous place in the center of the Bagua Soul Trap Array.

Just decorate and modify the passage, and it will be a wonderful training place.

I don’t know whose property is there,

Can you buy it with the money you have on hand?

That’s all, let’s go and have a look tomorrow…

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao meditated cross-legged again before falling asleep peacefully.

…………

It's late at night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

There was silence in Anzhenfang, except for the occasional barking of old man Chen who was passing by at midnight.

The Zhou family father and son had been working hard all day and snored constantly.

Duh duh!

In the woodshed,

Suddenly there was a soft sound...
