I will survive with proficiency

Chen Ping returned to his quiet room, carefully reviewed the ins and outs of the incident, and assessed that there were no obvious loopholes before he felt at ease.

The biggest loophole in this matter is that the monk has been to Yishui Manor. This is a fact that many people know.

Based on this fact, some people may be suspicious.

But as long as these people don't have evidence, there's not much they can do. Before coming to Yishui Manor, Master Hou had visited many manors to send invitations.

The owner of the village is a tenant of the Guan family.

But only tenants.

The Guan family will never attack another tenant without any evidence just because of suspicion.

This is not in the interests of the Guan family.

Zhuangzhu Hou has no relatives or reasons. As long as the Guan family doesn't investigate further, no one will continue to catch this matter.

In the quiet room.

Chen Ping once again took out the monk-to-be's belongings and cleaned them up.

There is a jade slip of the puppet technique, which is a magic method for living people to refine puppets.

That is the fourth level of puppetry.

——‘Phaseless Puppet Technique’.

This is the most precious thing for a monk-to-be.

But this was of no use to Chen Ping. He was not prepared to use living people to refine the puppets.

No matter how powerful this puppet is.

What is the difference between this and tribulation cultivation?

If you often rob others, how can you ensure that one day you won't make a mistake and lose your life?

Even if you continue to prepare for a rainy day, plan every step, use others as chess pieces, and think about ten thousand moves for one move, in the end, a wise man will make a mistake after all his considerations.

On this road, no one can always win.

Isn’t the waiting monk a lesson from the past?

Chen Ping understands this very clearly.

But those puppets that have been trained by the cultivators can be used by themselves after this storm has passed.

Among these belongings, several items actually belong to the owner of Hongpao Zhang Village.

During the soul-searching process, we learned that after cultivating Monk Zhang into a puppet, Monk Hou used Monk Zhang’s formation token to enter the manor he ran and took away all of Monk Zhang’s valuable belongings.

Not only that, he also changed his makeup, disguised himself as Brother Zhang, and slept with Brother Zhang's wife.

It has to be said that Master Hou is very brave.

Between acquaintances, no matter how good the disguise is, many details may still reveal oneself, especially when in close contact.

And monk Hou actually came like this.

Miraculously, Brother Zhang's wife didn't reveal anything unusual afterwards.

Brother Zhang's manor is still being managed in an orderly manner.

'This village owner is the one who really loses his wife and loses his troops. ’

Every time he thought of this, Chen Ping couldn't help but shake his head.

Gather your mind and clean up your belongings again.

In addition, under the valuation of other properties, there should be 4,000 top-quality spiritual stones.

‘The most fruitful thing from this trip was the dozens of puppets. ’

'As for the others, some things that may be valuable will be kept for now, and the others can be sold slowly after the situation calms down. ’

The next few days were uneventful.

Until the wedding day of Master Hou, Chen Ping put on his neat robes, brought congratulatory gifts, and went to Master Hou's Changqing Manor as usual.

"We would like to welcome Senior Chen to Evergreen Manor. Senior Chen's presence will make Evergreen Manor more beautiful. Please come inside." The steward of Evergreen Manor greeted him at the entrance of the manor.

As the housekeeper entered Evergreen Manor, the manor was still a festive scene.

"Why haven't you seen Master Hou today?" Chen Ping asked before taking a seat in the VIP room.

According to usual practice, the hostess should be busy among the guests and friends at the moment.

The Guan family bowed respectfully:

"The owner of the village went out a few days ago. He said he would be back in time for the wedding day. Maybe he will be back in a while."

Chen Ping nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Several old faces sat together and continued chatting.

As time went by, Master Hou never showed up, which made some guests and friends start to joke, saying that Master Hou was usually very impatient, but now it was his big day, why was he suddenly not in a hurry? ?

It was just a joke at first, but as the auspicious moment arrived and the hostess had not yet appeared, everyone began to whisper.

By the time the auspicious hour had passed, the master of the village still hadn't appeared. Everyone began to complain, and many monks found excuses to leave.

Then more monks left.

"Hey, it looks like I won't be able to enjoy the concubine waiting for the monk tonight." A village owner was quite disappointed.

Chen Ping also followed the crowd and left the scene.

An originally festive banquet turned out to be unhappy.

A few days later, several Guan family members came to Chen Ping's Yishui Manor.

Asking him about Zhuangzhuang's personal visit to Yishui Manor a few months ago, Chen Ping knew that the Guan family had been involved in the disappearance of Zhuangzhuang.

Not only that, but the fact that Master Zhang had been missing for more than thirty years also came into the Guan family's sight for the first time.

Prior to this, Zhuang Zhang's manor was operating normally, and every year's rent was paid by the housekeeper and Zhuang Zhang's wife. The Guan family did not pay attention to Zhuang Zhang's disappearance.

But the Guan family only appeared once at Yishui Manor, and never came again since then.

Then, I heard that the Guan family had taken back the management rights of Evergreen Manor and dismissed all the monks in the manor.

A few months later, Chen Ping visited nearby village owners and received the news that the case had been settled.

Not long after, someone from the Guan family came to the door and told them that the case had been investigated clearly, which meant that all the village owners could rest assured that they could continue to operate.

Chen Ping glanced at several people from the Guan family, and after listening to each other's explanations, asked:

"I'd like to take the liberty of asking, is Master Hou being plotted by Jie Xiu?"

The visitor from the Guan family smiled politely:

"Master Chen, don't worry, there won't be any robbery cultivators in the Guan family's territory. Master Hou was killed by a vendetta cultivator."

"This Vengeance monk and him have already known each other in the previous Immortal Cultivation City. The reason why the village owner left that Immortal Cultivation City and came here was because he didn't want to have anything to do with the Vengeance. He never thought that the Vengeance would actually hide his name in Ronghua City."

"That man has been captured by the Guan family, Master Chen can rest assured."

feud?

According to the information provided by Zhaixing Pavilion, Master Hou did not have any clear feud.

Chen Ping heard four words from the complicated narrative of the Guan family: the case was closed in a hurry.

To the Guan family, the life of Master Hou is not important, and it is actually not important whether there is a calamity repair.

What matters is the stability of the Guan family boundary.

Let all casual cultivators dare to live and work here in peace and contentment.

Therefore, the most important thing is to find a suitable reason, arrest a suitable person, and quickly close the case so that these village owners can feel at ease.

It doesn't matter whether the right person is the 'right' person.

"It's a pity. Master Hou and I have occasionally interacted with each other, and we always talked happily. Master Hou is a good man. I never thought that he would be killed by a feud." Chen Ping shook his head and said with emotion:

"By the way, may I ask who that feud is? Is it convenient to reveal it?"

"He is a puppet master who lives in seclusion in Ronghua City, and" the Guan family said this, paused for a moment, stopped the topic, and said with a smile:

"That person used some crooked ways to kill the village owner, and it's not worth mentioning."

Chen Ping had lingering fears, but he was relieved when he heard what the Guan family said:

"I see. I hope you will strengthen the patrols in this area to prevent anyone with intentions from targeting this place."

"That's natural." The Guan family smiled:

"My Guan family is making improvements. In the future, we may issue soul cards to village owners who have rented the manor for a long time and made outstanding contributions. As long as the village owner is attacked, the people in my Guan family will know the situation immediately."

"That's good." Chen Ping agreed with approval.

Soul cards require a certain cost. Even in some large sects, only core genius disciples will be given as gifts by the sect.

Soul cards are not a panacea.

Only when the soul of the holder is close to annihilation will the soul card be triggered.

However, if the matter of 'holding the relevant family soul card' is made public, it can indeed act as a deterrent to Jie Xiu to a certain extent.

Chen Ping thought for a while, and based on the mutual concern between the village owners, he continued to ask:

"Where's Master Zhang? Is there any news?"

The Guan family members nodded:

"There are clear witnesses who saw Master Zhang entering a ruins with his friends. It is unknown whether he is alive or dead. However, his manor is currently operating normally and his Taoist companions continue to take care of it."

The life of a casual cultivator is really worthless.

Even if you are a casual cultivator at the Nascent Soul level, you will die if you die, and no one will really help you to investigate.

Chen Ping asked some more questions before sending the Guan family members out.

Before sending it out, he repeatedly suggested that the people of the Guan family should strengthen patrols in this area.

‘This matter is most likely in the past. ’

'Master Hou is a real casual cultivator. As long as the Guan family no longer pursues the matter, others will probably stop paying attention to this matter. ’

'I heard that the dozens of wives and concubines who were waiting for the owner of the village have also dispersed, and after dividing the limited inheritance, they started to look for their own way out early. ’

‘It’s true, the tea is cool when people leave. ’

'That's right. If a man marries dozens of wives, how can he have any feelings? It's nothing more than everyone getting what they need for their own benefit. Such relationships are the weakest. ’

‘But leave those puppets alone for now, it’s not the time to take them back yet. ’

Time flies by.

As it turns out, this incident was eventually forgotten in the long river of time.

At most, a few village owners were chatting with each other, expressing their "missing" feelings towards the concubine who was waiting for the village owner.

But the amazing thing is that after Evergreen Manor was disbanded, the other manor owners and monks who were nostalgic for the manor's concubine did not take over the low-level female cultivators.

They are not nostalgic for those female nuns.

They just miss the feeling of sleeping with other people's wives.

The legacy of Wu and Wei can be found everywhere.

Yishui Manor.

In the quiet room.

Chen Ping drew out a weak Nascent Soul Purple Qi and injected it into Luan Ling's Burning Light mother turtle.

After the thunder and lightning finished striking, Chen Ping's consciousness entered and took a look.

The last dead leaf on the tree of life finally turned into green.

The entire tree of life was completely restored to its original state.

Vitality.

Finally they all came to life.

It took decades.

The Luan Ling Burning Light Turtle should not be used indiscriminately in the future. Although it is not a disposable item, it is indeed not easy to recover.

Just use it as a tool to gather Tao Yun.

Gathering Dao Yun is indeed very strong.

Under the current circumstances, the intensity of Daoyun in the main cave has far exceeded that of Guan Xinyi's floating palace, and also exceeded the Daoyun underground palace built by Tianyin Sect in the dome ruins.

This Taoist rhyme, let alone a golden elixir like Yu Lingchun, or a late Yuanying monk like himself, this kind of Taoist rhyme is more than enough even for a half-step god-transforming monk.

'Um? ’

Chen Ping's consciousness that was left in Luan Ling's Fenguang mother turtle's body condensed.

'what happened? ’

‘Why do I suddenly feel that the tree of life is still growing? ’

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.

I don’t know if it’s my own imagination.

Just now, after the Tree of Life had completely recovered, there was still a little bit of purple energy left at the roots that had not been used up. At that moment, Chen Ping seemed to feel that the Tree of Life continued to absorb the remaining purple energy and grew a little more.

But when you really look at it, it seems like nothing happened.

Could it really be an illusion?

Chen Ping focused his eyes, thought for a while, and once again pulled out a faint wisp of purple energy from his Yuan Ying and injected it into the Luan Ling Burning Light Mother Turtle.

This time, his consciousness was extremely focused.

Thunder and lightning struck down, and the tree of life swayed in the lightning, quickly absorbing the purple energy in the thunder.

The purple energy first gathered at the roots of the tree of life, and then was slowly absorbed and disappeared, turning into the original purple color in the roots.

‘It’s really grown a little bit. ’

Chen Ping was happy and surprised.

This change is very weak.

It can even be said to be undetectable.

But his consciousness was extremely powerful and his perception was astonishing. He did sense a very subtle change.

‘I didn’t expect that the Purple Gold Sky Thunder could not only resurrect the tree of life, but also allow it to continue to grow. ’

The tree of life is also related to gathering Taoyun.

This means that Luan Ling's Burning Light Mother Turtle's ability to gather Tao Yun will continue to strengthen.

Not bad!

With this spiritual treasure, you can also benefit from it after becoming a god.

There is never any shortage of Taoist charm.

Chen Ping was delighted.

After wiping the surface of the Luan Ling Burning Light Turtle, he carefully placed it back on the bookshelf.

Just take care of it slowly from now on.

After sitting back on the futon, Chen Ping began to meditate and practice the exercises.

The current 'Purple Yuan Immortal Skill' has reached the progress bar of 'Dacheng: 98/100'.

In fact, this progress is much later than his original prediction.

It was thought that there would be a chance to achieve the ‘Great Perfection’ of the practice before the late Nascent Soul stage.

The reality is.

After entering the 'Dacheng', one's thoughts tend to diverge when practicing the exercises, and one often unconsciously realizes the laws of all things between heaven and earth.

This process is extremely time consuming.

After leading to 'Dacheng', the progress of the technique was much slower than expected.

But even so, we are only one step away from Dzogchen at this moment.

In the quiet room.

Under the operation of the technique, the thoughts are clear, and the spiritual energy with special aura continuously flows into one's body, turning into true essence and spiritual power, flowing between every orifice in the body.

In the Dantian, both Nascent Souls are in a meditating posture.

Constantly temper yourself.

The texture of the Lord Nascent Soul becomes harder and harder, and the density becomes larger and larger.

The child Yuanying's "size" is constantly growing, and currently his head has reached the height of the main Yuanying's ears.

Slowly, slowly.

Chen Ping seemed to be in an endless grassland.

In the grassland, a river meanders across the entire grassland.

The water in the river unexpectedly turned dark red, like blood, flowing slowly and sometimes quickly in the river.

The wind and water flow on the grassland want to go against each other.

The breeze blows, and a small amount of water waves flow upwards, and are soon hit by larger waves and pushed downstream.

A stronger wind blew, and a small amount of water waves moved upstream even faster.

There was no accident after that, but he was quickly hit by a larger current and lost the power to continue to flow against the current.

strong wind blowing

The reverse splash has the same ending.

No matter how hard you push, you can't resist the trend of 'correctness'.

It seems that ‘if you go against the current, you will perish’.

But at this moment, Chen Ping saw a big fish fanning its huge tail fin, swimming upstream in the rolling torrent, heading upstream.

With the tail fin fanned, the water surface behind him formed whirlpools.

A stream of foamy water in the whirlpool always followed the whirlpool upward.

It was never washed away by the torrent.

Never left behind.

It continued for dozens of meters against the current, until the big fish stopped swimming, and the water flow merged into the torrent again and disappeared.

'I see. ’

‘You can’t rush hard, you can’t fight against the laws of heaven and earth, but you should rely on your own strength to fight against it. ’

‘The water flow is like this, where is the blood of the human monks? ’

‘In a monk’s body, blood flows in a certain order. This rule is protected by the monk’s own ‘laws of Taoism’, and the monk’s strong physique provides guarantee for such ‘let nature take its course’ Taoism and laws. ’

'If you want to make the monk's blood flow backwards and forcefully break through the natural protective barrier of the monk's own mechanisms and laws, it will be tantamount to 'head-to-head' and it will be very difficult. ’

‘But what if we also use our strength to gain strength? ’

‘When a monk circulates spiritual power, the direction in which the spiritual power flows in the body is not fixed, but varies greatly depending on the technique. It is very likely that the spiritual power of the previous breath was downstream and the spiritual power of the next breath was countercurrent. The spiritual power of this part of the body was downstream and that part was countercurrent. ’

‘The same is true for the spiritual power in the blood. ’

‘What if we use the monk’s own spiritual power? ’

‘Let the opponent’s spiritual power flow backwards to act as a “big fish”. This may not prevent the opponent’s blood from flowing backwards. ’

‘In this case, it is definitely much simpler to guide the opponent’s spiritual energy to flow countercurrently because it does not violate the laws of Taoism. ’

At this moment, it was as if countless Taoist laws in the world suddenly opened their doors to Chen Pingdong.

The thoughts become extremely clear.

Things that I didn’t understand before were instantly enlightened.

Chen Ping suddenly opened his eyes.

‘Look’ towards the panel.

[Kung Fu: Zi Yuan Immortal Kung Fu: Perfect. 】

The main exercise was finally completed.

This skill is really powerful, and my understanding of the laws of Taoism is something I have never felt before.

It is indeed an immortal skill passed down from the upper world.

I don’t know how powerful this Ziyuan Fairy is, but he can actually create such a powerful immortal skill on his own.

Chen Ping pressed down his hands and took out a breath.

Now that his mind is clear, he can continue to practice the 'Water Splitting Technique', but Chen Ping just wants to move around at the moment.

I have been in seclusion for a long time, and I haven’t seen my wife for a long time.

Walking out of the quiet room, I saw Yun Lingshan and Yu Lingchun busy taking care of spiritual plants in the yard.

"Escaped?" Chen Ping was a little surprised.

Yu Lingchun turned around:

"Um."

"Lingchun wants to attack Huaying."
