Chapter 19: Crying to Suppress Ghosts, Divine Method

"Nine-headed Guanyin statue crying and suppressing ghosts!"

Xu Beihu said in a deep voice, and as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of wind and snow seemed to disappear without a trace.

Crying to suppress ghosts?! Li Che's expression changed slightly.

Today, he is no longer the rookie porter who focused on moving wood, but has a deep understanding of wood carving.

This huge Feilei City is divided into the inner city and the outer city. The inner city is prosperous like a dream. It is where the noble families who have thrived in Feilei City for a long time live. It is extremely wealthy and prosperous inside.

These aristocratic families all have their own methods of cultivation, and they even practice the legendary divine methods.

In fact, each family owns a woodcarving shop and recruits and trains woodcarvers. This is because if the woodcarvings carved by the woodcarvers have strong enough charm, it will be of great benefit to the practitioners from aristocratic families who practice divine methods.

Divine cultivation can be extracted from wood carvings.

This is also the reason why the wood carvings carved by woodcarvers can be very expensive.

In the woodcarving shops in the inner city, there are woodcarving masters in charge. The woodcarvings carved by those masters are full of charm and extremely precious. Each one is worth hundreds or even thousands of gold!

Li Che has heard many opinions from Lao Chen over the past year.

It is not easy to become a master of wood carving, because the charm of the carved wood carvings needs to reach the level of overflowing and taking shape.

Li Che's [Immortal Craftsmanship] Dao Fruit has reached level 2, which allows him to endow sculptures with meaning, but he is still a little short of reaching the master level. Perhaps he will have to reach level 3 before he can reach the master level.

"The statue will be provided by our company, you can just carve it..."

Xu Beihu was a burly man with a deep voice, and he looked deeply at Li Che.

"This is a rare opportunity. It is the result of your previous reputation for carving statues. Because the wood carvings you carved are profound, you were given this opportunity."

"You don't have to feel too burdened. Even if the carving fails and the finished wood carving doesn't have a rich connotation, it doesn't matter. After all, you have only been a woodcarver for a year and there is still room for growth. Just treat it as practice."

Xu Beihu comforted.

Li Che gritted his teeth and had no reason to let it go since it was worth five gold leaves.

"Then I'll try." Li Che clasped his fists and said.

Seeing that Li Che agreed, Xu Beihu was in a good mood. He patted Li Che on the shoulder and said, "The young master of the Si family wants your wood carving probably to practice the divine law. The Si family's divine law is 'Angry Crying to Suppress Ghosts'. If you can succeed, you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and you may even have the opportunity to impact the master level."

"Divine nature...crying to ward off ghosts." Li Che had heard this from Old Chen.

There are three methods of cultivation: body training, internal strength and divinity. Among them, divinity is the most mysterious, internal strength is precious, and body training is more popular.

Divine methods have always been controlled by the aristocratic families in the inner city, and outsiders have no way to practice them.

Xu Beihu glanced at Li Che and said softly, "The divine method is commonly divided into seven meridians: joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and shock... The crying ghost-suppressing method belongs to the divinity of sadness. The divine method is mysterious and mysterious, but it requires the accumulation of divinity over time, which is not easy."

Xu Beihu didn't say much, and looked at Li Che deeply: "You have an excellent talent for wood carving. If you become a wood carving master in the future, you will have the opportunity to obtain the divine law of my Xu family, so... don't slack off."

Upon hearing this, Li Che immediately showed a look of gratitude on his face and bowed with his fists clasped.

Xu Beihu nodded with satisfaction and took out a folded paper from his sleeve: "This is the shape of the 'Nine-Headed Guanyin Weeping to Suppress Ghosts'. The construction period is one month. I will come to find you in one month."

"I will take you into the inner city to trade with the young master of the Si family."

Li Che nodded and took the diagram.

…

…

After finishing his training, Li Che returned to the workshop to tidy up and then left Xuji Woodcarving Shop.

He used the excuse of going to get some rice wine and cut some braised meat, but actually he was planning to go to the market in the outer city to check out the situation. If Xu Beihu couldn't get the tendon-opening method and internal strength method, he would have to do it himself.

Fortunately, the tendon-opening method is just a body-refining method after all. Although it is rare, it is not as rare as the divinity method.

After leaving the woodcarving shop, he walked into an alley. After confirming that there was no one around, he activated the [Dragon Elephant King Kong]. His body grew taller and became burly. He took out a wooden mask, put it on his face, wrapped himself in a puffy robe, and disappeared into the long street.

The market town of Feilei City is located in the west of the outer city. It is not a dilapidated place with many shacks and old buildings.

It looks very dilapidated.

But this is the market place where the monks from Feilei City trade. Most of the monks here are adventurers from outside the city, who kill monsters and break into strange temples to obtain resources for cultivation.

The monk took a rag and spread it on the ground, turning it into a store. He displayed all kinds of strange things and started doing business.

Li Che looked all the way over, his eyes moving. This was his first time here. Mainly because he had never practiced before, he didn't dare to come here for fear of losing his life in vain.

After wandering around the many stalls for a long time, I finally stopped in front of a vendor who was also wrapped tightly.

The similarity in temperament made Li Che feel quite safe.

"This is something that just came out of the strange temple. Are you interested?"

The stall owner glanced at Li Che, who was wrapped tightly, and said in a hoarse voice.

"The strange temple..." Li Che was silent. It was an extremely dangerous place outside the city. It was rumored that the inheritance of the Lingying Sect came from the strange temple.

The reason why such a huge scene is in such a precarious situation has a lot to do with the strange temples that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, as well as the rampant evil creatures that escaped after the strange temples got out of control.

For martial artists who practice martial arts, the mysterious temple after being suppressed is a place to explore resources.

However, Li Che is not very interested in the strange temple now. He came to the market only to seek the method of body refining.

"Does the merchant have any body-refining methods for sale?" Li Che changed his voice and spoke hoarsely.

"A method of body refining?" The merchant was sitting cross-legged on the ground and raised his head in surprise when he heard the words.

"What level do you want?"

"Open the tendons." Li Che said.

Open tendons? The merchant's eyes flickered.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"I just happened to have a medium-level body-refining method that I found in a strange temple in the south of the city. It can be used to strengthen the bones. Do you have any ideas?"

Li Che's burly body was extremely oppressive, but the vendor was not afraid. How powerful could a guy who even wanted to buy the tendon-opening method be? "I only need the tendon-opening method." Li Che responded indifferently.

The vendor didn't waste any more words after hearing that. Instead, he quickly took out an old blue-covered book from his pocket and handed it to Li Che.

After flipping through it and confirming that it was the middle level method of opening the tendons, Li Che covered the book with satisfaction.

"If you have any internal energy techniques, you can show them to me."

In fact, Li Che had no hope for the Internal Power Method, but if it really didn't work out, he would go back to Lao Chen to buy it. Lao Chen had said at the beginning that he could sell the Internal Power Method to him.

"You are joking, sir. Most of the internal energy techniques are monopolized by aristocratic families. We, small vendors, cannot bear the responsibility of selling internal energy techniques. Once we are discovered, we will not be able to survive in Feilei City."

The vendor shook his head.

Li Che felt regretful, but he didn't care: "Then let's use this method of opening the tendons."

The merchant raised five fingers: "Five hundred taels!"

Li Che laughed and slowly stood up. He was as sturdy as a mountain. The energy and blood in his body surged out, and the air around him became stagnant. An extremely terrifying sense of oppression pressed down on the other party as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.

This person thought that he was a martial artist who was stuck in the process of perfecting his skin smoothing, so he was in urgent need of methods to open up his tendons, so he took advantage of the situation to rob him?

Don’t mention it…I actually guessed it right.

"One hundred taels, that's about right." Li Che said calmly, "It's enough to buy it as a gift for the younger generation."

The merchants felt this boldness and their faces changed slightly. As people who lived outside the city and dared to enter the strange temple to fight for the harvest, they naturally had good eyesight.

This strong man's blood and qi are so strong that his oppressive feeling is no less than that of a bone-hardening warrior. He has even killed people before! He is definitely a murderer who regards human life as worthless!

A hand-copied copy of the not-so-rare Zhongcheng Kaijin Method was sold for a hundred taels, so it was a profit anyway.

After all, he had made several copies at home.

"make a deal!"

The merchant immediately said from the heart.

After hearing this, Li Che threw down a hundred taels of silver, turned around and left with the tendon-opening method, disappearing in the market.

The merchant also quickly pulled up the cloth and left the stall.

…

…

Having learned the method of opening the tendons, Li Che was in a good mood and could start opening the tendons tomorrow.

After leaving the market town and finding a secluded place, he took off his puffed clothes and hid himself there. Then he leisurely cut some braised meat and drank some wine. He also went to the dim sum shop and bought a box of osmanthus cake that Zhang Ya liked, and then returned to the wood carving shop.

The wind and snow were rustling and dancing all over the sky.

Walking on the thick snow covering the bluestone ground.

Li Che walked towards home.

However, his steps gradually stopped. Carrying the braised meat, jar of wine and osmanthus cake, Li Che frowned slowly and stared at the man standing at the gate of his yard...

Zhao Chuanxiong, the chief constable of the government office, stood with a knife, looking as if he was not smiling.
