Immortality is above

Chapter 19 19: Practice hard behind closed doors (please collect and read)
  Taoist Wang used the technique of dividing gold and tapping holes, found a good place on the mountain, dug a hole, and buried the fragments of the judge's statue in it.

Then he came back to resume his life, and then said goodbye and left very wisely.

Although he really wanted to have a friendship with Chen Liubai, the most important thing in interpersonal relationships was a sense of propriety.

What kind of relationship means what kind of propriety.

If the relationship is not enough and if you try to match it up with caution, it will arouse resentment and have the opposite effect.

Regarding Chen Liubai's background, Wang Daozhang snooped around Chen Jiaji and got some information.

People of the Chen clan believed that Chen Liubai was deceived by wild Taoist priests and lost his future.

But when Wang Daozhang heard it, he felt that it was not that simple. One thing was certain: Chen Liubai had learned his skills.

As for how well he learned, I don't know. In short, he is much better than himself.

……

Chen Liubai stayed alone in the thatched cottage and started to light a fire, preparing to stew the next pot of tiger monster meat.

At noon, someone came again, but it was the eldest brother Chen Liushan and his cousin Chen Zhiping driving a donkey cart. They were worried when they heard that Chen Liubai would live in a thatched cottage in the wild for a long time, so they came to persuade him:
  "Third brother, you have to think twice before you act. It's freezing cold and you live here alone. How are you going to eat and drink?"

"Third cousin, things are not peaceful outside the village, especially at night. What should we do if something happens?"

Chen Liubai replied: "It doesn't matter. I know martial arts, so I can protect myself. This place is clean and undisturbed, so it's a good place to study."

Seeing that they could not be persuaded, the two had no choice but to give up.

Chen Liushan said: "Then I will ask your sister-in-law to bring you food every day."

Chen Liubai waved his hand and said: "No need, I can hunt and cook myself... Brother, listen to me, just stay at home and take care of your parents. Don't be afraid of spending money. By the way, you have taken the first patch of medicine ?How effective is the medicine?"

With a third person present, Chen Liushan said rather coyly: "I feel pretty good, especially when I wake up in the morning. I feel quite impulsive. But because my leg injury has not healed, I don't dare to mess around."

Chen Liubai smiled and said: "That's good. You have to keep taking the medicine and take enough for a course of treatment. By then, your legs should be almost healed. Okay, you can go back, don't worry. I have been wandering around the world by myself for many years, and I am still safe and sound. Now that I’m back home, what problems will there be?”

This makes sense. He ran away from home when he was fourteen or five years old. He was not afraid at that time. What is there to be afraid of now?

Chen Liushan felt relieved and returned home in a donkey cart.

Chen Liubai chose to live alone and study in name only to facilitate his cultivation and to stew blood food.

Especially now that I have the fragments of the Heavenly Book and learned "The Art of Marrying Dreams", I just take this opportunity to practice hard and improve my strength.

So he stayed there.

In the middle of winter, fewer and fewer people go hunting in the mountains, and fewer and fewer people go out to work.

This side of Dongzhaopo is sparsely populated, which is exactly what you want.

In order not to be disturbed by wild beasts or other things that came down the mountain for food, he made sword marks around the thatched cottage, using the sword as a boundary to show that the place was owned.

During this period of hard training behind closed doors, Chen Liubai painstakingly studied the remaining scrolls of the Heavenly Book, including "Pure Yang Sword Jue", "The Art of Marrying Dreams" and so on.

High-intensity training will inevitably lead to huge consumption, and the tiger monster meat in the Hutian bag will decrease rapidly.

He suddenly wanted to go out and slay demons again.

Efforts should be rewarded.

The biggest gain is the understanding and understanding of the Five Elements Law, a glimpse of the leopard, and the knowledge of several body escape techniques that are attached to this law.

It’s a pity that I haven’t learned the “Invisibility Method” yet;
  As for the special attack method "Pure Yang Sword Technique", he has practiced it to the point of proficiency, enough to be proud of the world.

In addition, the "Little Marriage Dream Technique" has also been completed, and this technique can be used as a strange move.

Finally, Chen Liubai made huge breakthroughs and progress in his personal cultivation. He opened up a series of acupuncture points such as Chengjing, Fengchi, Fengfu, Jiaosun, and Yuzhen, and he took a big step towards the Great Zhoutian.

Until the end of December, when the New Year is approaching, he will leave the country and go home. It doesn’t make sense if you don’t go home during the New Year.

"Wow, brother-in-law, you, you seem to have changed!"

Sister-in-law Chen Yang shouted.

Chen Liubai touched his face: "Is there any?"

Mother Chen smiled and said: "San'er, you live alone in a thatched cottage. I was originally very worried that you would not have enough food and clothing, but now it seems that you are looking good."

If you eat a pot of blood for three days and two days, will your complexion be bad?

Chen Liubai said: "I told you that I will take care of myself. By the way, what are the New Year's goods?"

Chen Yang replied: "Not yet, I have to wait until you come back to make up your mind."

"I'm not picky, just go and buy it."

With that said, he took out another ingot of silver.

Mrs. Chen Yang smiled happily: "My uncle is really rich. He will have a good year this year."

In the past few years, life has been tight, getting more and more difficult every year, and I can't even afford to cut new clothes. Unexpectedly, things would turn around this year. My brother-in-law, who had been missing for many years, returned and brought back a lot of money.

The eldest brother, Chen Liushan, has basically recovered from his leg injury. He feels that it is his younger brother who pays for it every time, and he feels quite sorry.

Why does Chen Liubai care about this? He took out two wooden boards and a knife, sat there and started carving.

After this period of recuperation, Chen's father's health has improved greatly. Seeing this, he asked: "San'er, what are you doing?"

"This year I will carve peach charms."

These two pieces of peach wood are old and hard to find.

Father Chen asked: "Have you learned how to carve peach charms?"

In the State of Zhao, during every New Year's holiday, door-god couplets and peach charms are hung on every household.

Most people usually buy new door-god charms from the market or hire someone to make them.

There was a scholar named Chen Liubai in the family, so it was natural for him to write the couplets and the character "福".

I didn’t expect that all the peach charms would be taken care of.

Chen Liubai's knife was dexterous and his knife skills were exquisite. It didn't take long to carve out the peach charms on both sides.

But the pattern above is different. It is not the common image of a door god, but two swords, one on the left and one on the right. When they are merged together, they form the shape of crossed swords.

"This peach charm is quite unique."

Father Chen's wording was careful and authentic. His son had always had an out-of-the-box temperament since he was a child, so it was not surprising that he would create unique peach charms.

Little did the old man know that these two-sided peach charms were based on old wood and were tainted with the sword's will. They had already reached the quality of magic tools and truly had the power to ward off evil spirits.

Chen Liubai didn't explain much and continued working.

After all, the entire house, in addition to the important entrances and exits, as well as the roof, window lattice, etc., all need to be decorated.

Such as house mirrors, wind lion beasts, eaves and horn outlines, etc., can all be arranged.

There are quite a lot of old wooden materials in his Hutian bag.

These were just used as firewood in the mountains, but when they came to the mortal world, they became valuable goodies.
