Chapter 201: Coming out

In the past few years, Ding Er has vaguely guessed that what he ate was dead meat. Otherwise, there would be no need for the master to hide it from him. Moreover, the human skin has distinctive characteristics. After comparing the slices of meat with his skin a few times, he naturally figured out the mystery.

However, at this time he had lived underground for four years, and he ate bloody dead flesh for three meals a day. He had long been accustomed to this special food. To be honest, he felt more and more addicted to this smelly meat in recent times, as if he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't eat it for a day, and he was so soft that he was weak and weak.

Although he felt that the master should not hide it from him and let him eat such disgusting things, he faced the reality very calmly. Moreover, with his respect for his master, let alone letting him eat dead human flesh, he would never retreat even if it was a dirtier thing. Therefore, when he heard Xuansu tell the whole story, he did not seem very excited. He just shook his head a little aggrievedly, indicating that he had no objection to his master's actions.

Seeing that Ding Er had no extreme reaction, Xuan Su couldn't help but feel relieved. He patted Ding Er's head and praised: "Good kid, good kid, you know how to be considerate, you didn't make me embarrassed. Those who are the teacher should also thank you." Then he changed his tone and sighed sadly: "But... from now on, you have to eat more of your suffering. And... I'm afraid it will be very difficult..."

Ding Er thought to himself, I have lived in the dark and wet cellar for four years, and I have been eating all the rotten and smelly meat of dead people every day. I have eaten all this bitterness. Is there anything more bitter in the world?

Thinking of this, he said firmly: "Master, if you need me, just speak, and the child will never be ignorant."

Xuan Su nodded silently and sighed happily: "Good kid, I really have read you wrong as a teacher. OK, then I will tell you the subsequent practice method."

So he explained the subsequent practice methods in detail, walking, sitting, lying, eating, drinking, and urinating. All of them were strange and harsh. In addition, he had to seal several large acupoints on Ding Er's body to prevent the leakage of corpse qi, which would result in half the result with twice the effort.

But this is not the end. The most difficult thing is that from then on, Ding Er can no longer speak. The so-called "corpse gas comes in from the mouth and comes out from the mouth". If you speak, the corpse in your body will quickly dissipate and years of hard work will be put into scattering. If one or two words occasionally are still OK, it can be compensated for it in future practice. But if you speak too much, or if you ejaculate the whole body in one breath, then the Yin Zi himself will become a useless person. In mild cases, the body is weak and sick all year round, and in severe cases, it will be killed on the spot. No matter how good the golden elixir is, it cannot be saved.

Ding Er was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that there would be such a strange condition to practice Yin-eating. According to the master's words, he not only could not speak for the rest of his life, but he seemed to be unable to speak for himself. It would be fine if he was born mute, but he was obviously a person who could speak and had been speaking for more than ten years. It was indeed a bit too difficult for him to shut up suddenly and stop talking.

But he still dared not go against the Master's wishes, knowing that if he did not act according to his words, then all his efforts would be wasted. So he stuttered in a difficult situation: "Master... I'm afraid... I'm afraid I can't do it well. What if I accidentally speak out?"

Xuan Su gently patted Ding Er's firm shoulder and said that since you have no objection, you have a way to deal with it. As long as you do what I said, you should be able to get it in a year.

After the explanation, Xuan Su sealed several of Ding Er's major acupoints with a silver needle on the spot, and then pressed a crescent-shaped blade under his tongue. The blade was not only extremely sharp, but also just the right size. As long as Ding Er moved his tongue, the tongue tendon under the tongue would be cut. Although it was not a fatal serious injury, every time it was broken, it would cause blood to flow and the pain was very strong.

Since that day, Xuan Su moved to the cellar to live with Ding Er. On the one hand, he urged him to practice hard, and on the other hand, he prevented him from being unable to stand the torture and secretly stole the blade under his tongue.

As a result, Ding Er officially entered the yin-eating stage. At first, he was really in pain. His harsh lifestyle caused him to suffer inhuman torture. He also had the intention of retreating several times, wanting to run away secretly when his master was not paying attention. With Xuansu's physical fitness at that time, it would be impossible to catch up with him.

However, every time he thinks of the master and apprentice's dependence for more than ten years, his heart is still full of nostalgia and he cannot bear to leave his master here alone no matter what. Moreover, during the years, Xuansu has become quite old. If his "masterpiece" that he has spent his whole life leaves him like this, I am afraid that this strange folk man will not have a few days to live.

Therefore, Ding Er finally chose to compromise and endure. In the midst of all kinds of hardships, he finally endured it tenaciously. During this period, his skills also rose rapidly with a leaps and bounds.

Time flies, and in this flash, more than twenty years have passed.

At this time, Ding Er was nearly forty years old. During these decades of hard work, he had completely grown into a tall and burly man with black faces, and his magical skills of eating Yin Zi were also attained to a state of great success. However, Taoist Xuansu was already old, and by this year, he was already seventy-one years old.

During this period, the land of China has undergone great changes. The rampant criticism and protests have long disappeared. With the arrival of reform and opening up and the rapid economic development, even Hong Kong has returned to the mainland.

The huge change in the economic system has led to a prosperous state in China. As the saying goes, "the ancients of prosperity have lost money in the world". In the increasingly developed mainland market, antiques have become popular among collectors and investors.

Seeing that the dense forest that had lived in for decades had gradually become a desert, and Ding Er's Yin Gong was fully practiced, Xuan Su knew that it was time to start again.

He led Ding Er all the way south, and at the first stop he arrived at the northwest land with numerous tombs like stars.

Relying on Xuansu's secret method of determining the acupoints that he had been familiar with his chest decades ago, they soon found an ancient tomb from the Warring States Period in Xianyang.

Ding Er lived in seclusion in the mountains and practiced for so many years, and it was finally time for him to show his skills. With his brute force and light body skills, he stole several good artifacts from the tomb, and then Xuan Su found someone to take action. The first transaction after leaving the mountain really made a ruthless profit from the master and apprentice.

Although Xuansu is in his twilight years, he is still hard to change his nature. After having money in his hand, he started a life of decay and devotion to his life, and he is not afraid of his life being assigned to the fireworks land.

However, all this kind of beauty in the world has nothing to do with Ding Er. It is extremely difficult to practice the qi of eating Yin Zi, but it is very easy to dissipate it. Wine, color, food, and anything that goes against the rules will dissipate the corpse energy in the body, and these decades of hard work will be wasted. Therefore, when the master was free and easy, Ding Er relied on his keen sense of smell to search for edible corpses everywhere.

But the cities in the late 1990s were far from being located in the remote Inner Mongolia grassland. First of all, the residents of the mainland did not have any rituals at all, and naturally there would be no corpses exposed to the wild. Secondly, the public security in various places was relatively good. Even if there was a case of corpse throwing, the body was quickly transported away by the police. How could they wait for Ding Erxin to find it here?

Therefore, most of his food comes from the morgue in the hospital. He sneaked in with his magical skills. If conditions permit, he would steal a corpse and dismember him and eat it every day. If the security is very strict, he would have a full meal in the morgue. Fortunately, his magical skills have been completed now, and after filling his stomach, it would not have much impact if he didn't eat for several days.

Xuan Su naturally did not forget his plan of immortality. He trained Ding Er for decades, in order to let him enter the cave and open the coffin and find the mysterious and strange book "Soul-Suppressing the Soul". Therefore, the master and apprentice always walked around for several years. After finding the tomb, they broke into the hole, Xuan Su let the wind out, and Ding Er searched for treasure.

Moreover, the transportation conditions today are far greater than those a few decades ago. No matter where you want to go, it only takes a short time to arrive. It saves the time spent on the journey. The master and apprentice traveled all over the land of China in a few years, from north to south, from east to west.

However, things did not develop as Xuan Su expected. Although many rare artifacts have been found in recent years and a lot of money have been made, I have never found any traces of "Soul-Suppressing the Score", and even the slightest clues related to it have not been found.

As time goes by, Xuansu, who is nearly 80 years old, has gradually become desperate. He seems to realize that he will not be able to see that strange book in his lifetime. He often sighs that China's land is too big, and if he wants to travel around every corner, it may be impossible to do it in his lifetime. God knows where the bad book is hidden, and it may not exist in the world at all.

Xuan Su once told Ding Er that we are used to wandering like this anyway. Let’s continue to walk while I can still walk. If I haven’t found that bad book when I die, then don’t look for it anymore. Make more money with your skills, and then you will slowly disperse your Yin skills in two years. Marrying a wife and having a baby will not be considered as a matter of breaking the incense of your old Yin family.

The book is brief, and it is said that two years ago, the master and apprentice happened to be wandering around Guizhou. After many days of observation, Xuansu calculated that there should be a good place in a lush forest. The two then entered the forest to start construction, and indeed found a tomb of the Tang Dynasty next to a pool of lakes.

But after entering the acupoint, there was still no "Soul-Suppressing the Book" in existence. Ding Er only brought two three-color pieces from the tomb.

It was late at night, and the dark clouds covered the moon in the sky, and I couldn't tell the specific direction for a while. The master and apprentice were worried that they would get lost, so they planned to find a place to bear the lee and endure it for a night, and then come out from the road to dawn the next day.

But unexpectedly, after walking for a while, the two of them suddenly encountered something strange.
