Chapter 80 Yushan's Progress

Er Gouzi and his companions searched the village of Po Tian Wang for most of the day, but they didn't find a single grain of food.

They only found some pickled meat jerky, all made from human flesh.

In a room, they found more than 200 prisoners, most of whom were children in their teens.

These people were the military rations of Po Tian Wang.

Originally, Er Gouzi was considering whether to spare Po Tian Wang's life for the sake of his relatives.

But after seeing the rations of the prisoners and some smoked bacon.

Er Gouzi chopped Po Tian Wang off with one sword.

Although they won a great victory in this battle, they didn't get any benefits, but instead had more than 200 more people to eat.

These people are weaklings with little ability to survive.

If they are left to fend for themselves, they will become military rations for another bandit group tomorrow.

Ji Cang was also a little surprised to see Er Gouzi bring back a group of little brats with no fighting power.

"I didn't expect you to be so kind!"

"What kindness can I have? I just can't bear to see them being eaten as military rations."

Er Gouzi said with a helpless and sad face.

"There were not many grains of food to begin with, and now there are more than 200 mouths. It's not enough to eat the northwest wind."

"The saint said: Compassion is the beginning of benevolence. It shows that you are a benevolent and righteous person." Ji Cang continued to praise.

"No! I'm not, don't flatter me, I have kept all your IOUs."

Er Gouzi never thought of himself as a kind and righteous person.

As long as he can live well, it's enough.

He is determined not to sacrifice himself to achieve good deeds for others like the heroes in the books.

Maybe because of making friends carelessly and being influenced by Sima Yi, sometimes he would do some unprofitable things when his head is hot.

Er Gouzi handed the people he brought back to Qiuyue for management.

He also asked them to continue to strengthen training every day and send people to patrol and guard around Shekou Mountain.

This time, the attack killed and injured more than a dozen people on Shekou Mountain. We must be more careful in the future.

Returning to the top of the mountain alone, Yushan is still working hard and has made much more progress than before.

"Yushan, you've done a good job. From now on, Shekou Mountain is your home. You should treat it as your home and stop thinking about running away."

Er Gouzi praised Yushan generously for his progress in ideological awareness.

Yushan was even a little excited after hearing the praise from his boss.

"Look, grass has grown in the pepper field, and it's time to harvest the rice."

"Okay, I'll go later."

Yushan responded very readily. His boss treated him as a family member, so of course he had to work harder.

Er Gouzi gave an order and returned to the stone house.

Although he has made a lot of money over the years, he has not added any furniture to his stone house. There are still stone tables and earthen beds.

The bed was covered with a thick layer of dry straw, and on top of that was a straw mat, a cotton mattress, and a set of quilts.

Er Gouzi sat on the bed and took out the two Blood Soul Pills and the technique he had obtained today to check.

According to Po Tian Wang, the Blood Soul Pills were extremely effective, and taking one would allow one to advance by leaps and bounds.

Er Gouzi looked at the two pills again and again, but in the end he didn't eat them.

Although he could even swallow pig food, he still couldn't eat this kind of pill made from living people.

Next was the technique.

This technique was called "Blood Evil Technique", and it sounded fierce and powerful when it was named like that.

Po Tian Wang said that this technique was very simple and very fast to practice, and his generals all practiced it and made rapid progress.

The technique taught by the master didn't even have a name, but this one at least had a name, so he planned to take a look and see if he could refer to it.

If this technique was better, he could even consider switching to "Blood Evil Technique".

After reading this method from beginning to end, I found that the practice is indeed relatively simple.

No wonder those old farmers in the rebel army who can't even recognize words can practice smoothly and make rapid progress.

This method is different from the way he practices. Instead, it condenses the blood and qi in the body to cultivate something called blood evil.

In battle, you can mobilize blood evil to fight or cast spells. In this respect, it is similar to the use of true qi.

Should I practice this method?

Er Gouzi is a little embarrassed.

He is not experienced enough. He has only seen two immortal cultivation methods since he was a child. It is difficult to distinguish the pros and cons of them.

Ji Cang is knowledgeable and should be able to tell the good from the bad.

Thinking of this, Er Gouzi walked out of the stone house again.

The cold wind outside the house was biting, especially on the top of the mountain. Yushan was squatting in the pepper field to pull weeds.

Er Gouzi felt that Yushan had really changed and began to be motivated.

I plan to help him sew a piece of clothing tomorrow. It's snowing, and I feel cold just looking at him working with his bare chest.

The Chaotian Gong pepper tree that he stole from Chengxi Town last time was used by him to propagate an acre of land with seeds.

Because he watered the gourd every day, the pepper seedlings grew well in winter, but the weeds in the field also grew wildly.

Yushan can only weed every one or two days.

When we got down to the foot of the mountain, Ji Cang had just finished meditating.

"Brother Ji, how are your injuries? Are you healed?"

"I suffered too many internal injuries this time, and I don't have healing pills. It may not be healed in a year."

Although Ji Cang said so, he looked calm and didn't seem to take it seriously.

"I brought you a piece of meat, maybe it can help you recover from your injury."

Er Gouzi had to be polite when asking for help this time, and he also brought a large piece of donkey meat.

It was stolen from the county magistrate's birthday banquet last time. It had been stored in the gourd for a while and was already full of spiritual energy.

Seeing this large piece of donkey meat full of spiritual energy, Ji Cang quickly wrote an IOU.

"I gave you a piece of meat, how can I ask you to write an IOU? Am I such a stingy person?"

Er Gouzi quickly pushed the IOU back, and his eyes casually glanced at the contents of the IOU.

"Yes!"

Ji Cang nodded decisively, admitting that Er Gouzi was a stingy person.

Er Gouzi blushed, reflecting that he had indeed been a little harsh on Ji Cang during this period, making him embarrassed to ask for help now.

"Brother Ji, this must be a misunderstanding."

"This is a sincere gift to you. I hope you can recover soon."

Ji Cang took the piece of donkey meat and carefully looked at the bright smile on Er Gouzi's face.

"Gifts must be given for something. You are such a stingy person, and you suddenly gave me a piece of donkey meat. There must be something wrong."

Er Gouzi's face turned red again when Ji Cang revealed his thoughts. Fortunately, his face was dark and it couldn't be seen.

"Brother Ji, you are really sharp-eyed. I can't hide it from you."

"Can you help me look at this technique? Can I practice it?"

Er Gouzi said, took out the "Blood Evil Secret", and asked Ji Cang to take a look.

Ji Cang took the book and quickly flipped through it.

"This is a magic technique. The Great Zhou court has long banned anyone from practicing this kind of magic technique."

"This technique is incomplete and has great defects. If you practice it without authorization, there may be unexpected risks."

After Ji Cang finished speaking, he threw the book back to Er Gouzi and said no more.
