"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's not?"

When Wu Deyong heard this, he immediately lamented: "If something happens to the place where the medicine originates, 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?"

"The rise is even fiercer!"

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."

As he said that, 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 by changing hands, while Zhang Biao only sells a small portion.

After selling off what is left at home, I can get almost a thousand taels of silver, which can alleviate 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, he 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 and do it 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 saying 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, "strengthen the iron and 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 situation of not being able to 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.

By then...

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?"

"There are some chores, and also, I have resigned from six jobs, so I won't be called the head catcher in the future."

"Ah?"

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

Zhang Biao was a little surprised, "The saint loves auspiciousness. Being an official is not enough, but the rewards are indispensable."

"What, Uncle Zhou has something auspicious 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 was too lazy to ask more questions.

Your Majesty, it is so auspicious. From officials to common people, there are many people who want to achieve 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 up and practiced Qi, 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 methods in the world that rely on external forces to improve oneself and gradually move towards the path of spiritual practice.

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. It's easy to say for now, but if you find any magic medicine in the future, you have to be very careful when taking it.

As for Fang Xiangzong and Yanshi, their sword cultivation is a bit similar. They both borrow artifacts to practice, but the latter two use 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 is naturally cautious.

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

That's right, he has decided to explore the spiritual world.

Cultivating Zhenqi is not something that can be achieved overnight. At present, the world is changing and all kinds of evil things are breeding and brewing. It is necessary to have self-protection techniques.

This Nuo-faced 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 kinds.

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 trickery and ecstasy are the most important ones.

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

Trickery: Hell Fire is a kind of Yin Fire spell that requires incense ashes, dead bone powder 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 against 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, so it can be used to control the disciples.

Before I knew it, it was already dark.

Zhang Biao lit candles, writing and drawing, while thinking in his heart.

The spiritual world must be 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.
