Yu Peng was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding this ancient book in his hand. It was very thin, with only more than ten pages, and was written with dense traditional Chinese characters. I don’t know how it was preserved. The book in his hand was at least several hundred pages long.

It's been years old, but it still looks like new. The paper is soft and delicate, smooth to the touch, and very tough.

The book cover and pages are dark yellow. No discoloration or stains due to moisture were found. It seems that either the person who saved the book paid great attention to protecting it, or there is something wrong with the material itself.

Ordinary ancient books, even today, no matter how well they are preserved, will still have some flaws.

Yu Peng's fingers moved on the paper, and he felt a little smooth. It was not the smoothness of ordinary book pages, and it was not made of wax.

At this time, Taoist Luo Zhen also interrupted.

"The material of this book is unusual, but I can't tell. I can only feel that it is made of materials I have never seen before."

Hearing this, Yu Peng thought for a while and opened the Burning Eye directly. If you can't see it with ordinary eyes, then I'll try something different!

After turning on the special ability, I discovered something unusual.

Usually the paper we read on is made of wood pulp that has been filtered and pressed through multiple layers, so when you zoom in, you will see various irregularly arranged filaments.

This book also has stripes, but every pulp thread, including the written words, is wrapped in a layer of unknown substance without radiation. The particles of this substance are extremely uniform and fine, and the surface is smooth and reflects the light shining from all directions, making the wood

The pulp and the minerals used to write words are completely wrapped up.

You really can't tell any difference by simply touching it, but the biggest feature is that after Yu Peng observed it for a long time, he didn't find any molecules escaping from this substance.

Wrapped in this layer, there will naturally be no loose molecular particles in the pages and text of the book.

This is amazing, enough to make both Yu Peng and Luo Zhen surprised for a long time. As far as we know, most things in the world, whether they are living things, plants, or metal objects, will have problems with the collapse of their molecular structure. Sometimes, for a long time,

Some time is short, this is a common sense or law of natural decomposition

But now this book? It’s a bit contrary to common sense, isn’t it?

At least Luo Zhen has lived for hundreds of years and has never seen anything whose molecular structure does not collapse.

Yu Peng naturally did not believe in evil, as if more spiritual energy was injected into his eyes, he looked more intently.

I flipped through each page carefully, and finally discovered at the edges of several pages that there were gaps in the stripes. It was like a clean white paper, and I suddenly discovered a few...

The black spots are so conspicuous.

Although there are only a few small gaps here and there, representing a few missing points, gaps are formed after all.

Yu Peng removed the infusion of spiritual power and let his aching eyes rest for a while. At the same time, his mind was running rapidly. It seems that this kind of material is very rare. Although it is not completely solid, the molecules are dispersed.

The frequency is very, very low, so low that it cannot be detected.

Anyone else might not be able to discover the missing parts like Yu Peng did.

According to the time analyzed based on these traces and the content of the book, this book is at least about 400 years old, and it may only take decades for a molecular particle to fall off occasionally. This is the difference, anything on the earth, whether it is metal

Stones, trees or elements all have molecular structures that disintegrate and fall off. Especially living things, millions of cells die and leave the body almost every day.

In our understanding, even if meteorites are compressed to the extreme by low temperatures in outer space, and then refined by high temperatures in the Earth's atmosphere until they are extremely strong, their molecular structures are peeling off every day.

Based on this alone, it is completely impossible to tell whether the material itself is special or whether the material is artificially processed. Of course, there is also a possibility that it is both.

Unable to find the answer from the materials, Yu Peng decisively gave up the idea of ​​further research and turned to read the content in the book.

Turning to the first page, there are three big characters "Li Sheng Ji" written vertically.

The second page begins with the main text, which is in the form of a travelogue. It tells the story of a man named Li Sheng, who lived in a small mountain village before he was sixteen. He farmed at sunrise and practiced calligraphy at sunset. It was ordinary. He went out when he was sixteen.

A story about traveling, but after walking for three cities, he returned home.

The first Lincheng is called Hujing City, because there is a lake on the edge of the town. The water is so clear that people can see their own shadows when looking at it. The book roughly describes some of the customs and customs of this town.

After staying for three months, I continued to visit the town’s specialty delicacies.

The second town was called Tua City. The origin of the name is unknown, but the town was built at the foot of an earth mountain. It also described some local customs. After staying for about 4 months, we continued to set off and arrived at the third town, called

Chuangui Town.

When I talked about this, I did not record the local customs and stories like before, but described a phenomenon.

There are a few highly respected people in the local area who have mastered a special method of carving gold and stone. They can use some special utensils to carve formations so that the ghosts of the dead can live in them and can be summoned at any time.

The small one can accommodate a single ghost, and the large one can accommodate more than ten or twenty ghosts without conflicting with each other.

The text uses unpronounceable traditional Chinese sentences to record the operation process. When modern people read traditional Chinese characters and ancient books, most of the time they use guessing and speculation to translate. There are often misunderstandings or incoherent words, or even

Sometimes the meaning of the original work is completely misinterpreted.

Fortunately, with the help of Taoist Luo Zhen, Yu Peng learned Traditional Chinese from an early age. Later, when he was in elementary school, the ghost teacher Li also taught many details of Traditional Chinese, which gave Yu Peng a high level of understanding of Traditional Chinese.

Quickly reading the content in the ancient book, Yu Peng quickly translated what it was talking about.

The population of this town is not large, only a few thousand people. There has been a custom here since a long time ago that as long as a new baby is born, the family will look for high-quality jade to spare before the baby is born.

A few people of special seniority carved the formation on the stone.

Take three drops of the baby's blood and drop it on the jade. Then as the baby grows, the jade will be soaked in the child's blood every other year. Fortunately, the jade is generally not very big, and you only need to soak the jade with an appropriate amount of blood.

, does not have much impact on children.

This custom must be maintained every year until adulthood, and no one can refuse.

When the person dies, whether due to old age, illness, or accident, and his body is cold and breathless, the heart will be taken out, a jade stone will be placed in the heart, and then it will be stored in an ancient well in the city for seven days.

If you take out the jade stone after seven days, you will find that the soul of the deceased can freely enter and exit the jade stone. Moreover, as long as the jade stone is not damaged, the soul can always exist and will not die.

This man named Li Sheng has stayed in this town for several years. Not only has he become familiar with everything in this town, but he has also seen many ghosts who have been dead for thousands of years. Not only can these ghosts freely come in and out of some jade objects, but they can also communicate with Li Sheng.

Of course, with the help of these ghosts, Li Sheng learned this secret technique.

The old people in the town didn't know what this secret method was called. Li Sheng named it "The Method of Expanding the Sky" in his book.

What follows is that after learning this secret technique, Li Sheng returned directly to his village, and the content of the book ends here.

"The method of expanding the sky?"

Yu Peng murmured to himself, looking at these four words, and then looked at Luo Zhen next to him.

"I feel like this book is a bit similar to your era. Haven't you heard of it before?"

Luo Zhen has read this book several times, so he naturally knows what Yu Peng is thinking.

"I have no impression, and I have never even heard of it. There are thousands of secret techniques in Taoism, and there will always be some secret techniques that everyone is not familiar with. Otherwise, why are they called secret techniques?"

Then Luo Zhen continued to say

"You also know that I was not a disciple of a large sect or sect during my lifetime. I practiced with my master, and the master did not teach many things. Later, I was limited by my spiritual state and could not directly contact the monks, which led to

What I know is not much.”

"It's so embarrassing"!

Then Luo Zhen spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and curled the corners of his mouth.

Yu Peng has become accustomed to Luo Zhen's current situation, and Gu Ze... Gu Ze has also adapted a little, but he still gets goosebumps every time.

"So that ghost a few days ago, how did you get him into the antique porcelain vase? Didn't the book say it must be jade?"

"It's just a coincidence... I didn't ask for it. I didn't expect it to happen."

With that said, Luo Zhen began to talk about what happened at that time.

The ghost relied on several layers of connections to find Gu Ze. Of course, the first thing Gu Ze thought of was Luo Zhen when it came to the so-called Taoist secrets, so he accompanied Luo Zhen there and took the book.

After Luo Zhen read the book, he felt that he did have some knowledge. When he asked the ghost, he said that he didn't like jade, but only loved porcelain. After reading the book in middle age, he didn't know what part of his head he couldn't turn around. Every year

They would also smear blood on the porcelain bottles.

It was smearing blood, of course not soaking. On the one hand, he didn't really believe in the content of the book. The other was that the porcelain bottle was a bit big. If it was soaked through, the person would probably die first.

Luo Zhen didn't understand how the secret method in the book worked, but he had used the demon-locking Qiankun bag before. He slightly changed the method, carved a formation for the porcelain bottle, and threw the ghost into the porcelain bottle.

When I thought about it, it really happened.

So much so that Luo Zhen was confused for a long time.

"Is it that simple?" When Yu Peng heard this, he was also confused.

"It's that simple!" Although Taoist Luo Zhen replied forcefully, his voice felt much softer than usual... and then he added.

"However, I obviously feel that the things mentioned in the book and the techniques I operate are definitely not the same thing. Whether it is the Qiankun Bag or the Soul-Sealing Umbrella, the formations they use are actually very simple. This causes the formation to

The maximum duration of the Dharma is only ten years, but the book says that some ghosts have lived in jade for thousands of years, which is a huge difference."

Of course Yu Peng knew what Taoist Luo Zhen meant and responded.

"Of course it's big. I've made the Qiankun bag myself, so of course I know what's going on."

While talking, Yu Peng casually picked up a cloth bag beside the sofa. This was a small bag containing toys that he had left behind when Xiaozi came to play a few days ago.

Ling Kong used his spiritual energy to draw a seemingly complicated formation on the cloth bag, but it also contained certain rules. When the last stroke was finished, the formation suddenly burst out with a ray of light and merged into the small cloth bag.

Yu Peng picked up the cloth bag and immersed himself in it. The appearance of the cloth bag was not as big as the palm of his hand, but what he could detect with his mind was that the inside of the cloth bag was at least the size of a basketball. Yu Peng then picked up a toy and threw it in.

Of course the toy is bigger than the cloth bag, but just throwing it inside through the small opening, opening the bag mouth, is a bit like looking from the mouth of a small well to the bottom of the well, and also a bit like looking out of the door through a cat's eye. What's inside

Space is much larger than what you can touch.

Luo Zhen took the simple Qiankun bag from Yu Peng's hand, took out the toy from it, looked at it again, and said

"The material of this bag is mediocre, so I won't be able to maintain this formation for up to half a month. After all, the formation is a space secret technique. No matter what materials are used, the loss of the material itself will be accelerated."

"Then, as long as it is soaked in blood, no matter what the material is, you can make your soul fit with the material? Then in this way, the ghost after death can live in it?"

Gu Ze had been silent just now and expressed his doubts.

Luo Zhen thought for a while before he began to express his opinions.

"Of course it's not that simple. Using blood to nourish the utensils, or carrying jade with you, etc., can really make the utensils fit with your own biological frequency, and then after death, the soul can be injected into the utensils. This is very common, let alone Taoist magic.

Yes, many ordinary people know it.”

"The ghost a few days ago, I combined with the fact that he had been nourishing the porcelain vase with blood before he was alive, and then combined with the Qiankun magic, put him in the porcelain vase. However, I have thought about it over and over these days, and the feeling is still the same as what was described in the book.

It’s different, I feel more and more that the difference is very big.”

The three of them were silent in the room. After waiting for a while, Chen Song came back on Tuesday, and the whole room was silent. Unknowingly, it was already past 11 o'clock in the middle of the night.

"Gu"

A voice came out, causing everyone in the room to raise their heads. Yu Peng looked at his belly, feeling a little embarrassed.

But at this moment, Yu Peng suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his head and remembered something. Then under the curious eyes of everyone, he quickly picked up the book and turned to the page near the end.

The content of this page is about Li Sheng communicating with many ghosts in that town, and giving this secret method a name, "The Method of Expanding the Sky".

When Yu Peng looked at these four words carefully, he didn't feel anything, but after opening the eyes of dyeing spirit, he felt something unusual. Looking at these four words in this way, his eyes always felt a little hollow.

Trance.

At first, Yu Peng used the Eye of Burning Spirit mainly to observe the material of the book. He only glanced at these four words. At that time, he felt slightly in a trance and didn't pay much attention, so he missed it.

Yu Peng quickly told Luo Zhen and several spirits about his feelings. Luo Zhen also activated some of his Taoist spells, but judging from these few words, there was nothing unusual, so there was no need to mention the other spirits.

, and they had no reaction at all.

Several people discussed it, and after seeing Yu Peng's slightly pale face, they decided to let Yu Peng eat first to regain his strength. Once Yu Peng's physical strength was restored, he could try to strengthen his spiritual power.

Moreover, there is Aunt Li outside. If we don't solve the matter there, it will be troublesome if something unexpected happens in the middle.

Outside the door, Aunt Li was sitting on a step near the door as usual. When she saw Yu Peng coming out, she did not rush over like before, but moved away slightly awkwardly. It seemed that she was still a little afraid of Yu Peng.

It's the same for people and ghosts. Many times, they have this kind of backlash. When encountering conflicts, no matter whether they win or lose, or how thoroughly they lose, they will be a little stubborn and show off their power through some words or find someone to blame.

I went back to the place and thought about it when I got back. The more I thought about it, the more scared I became and the more cowardly I became.

It's like watching a ghost movie sometimes. You enjoy it while watching it, but if you go back and be frightened by others, your courage will fly several miles away.

Aunt Li is now, during the day, very difficult to deal with, especially when there are other ghosts behind her back. She has no kind words for Yu Peng. She always feels that if she doesn't peel off a layer of Yu Peng's skin, she will be sorry for herself.

Tossing, now that I see Yu Peng, I don't even dare to say a word.

Of course, part of the reason is that I heard that Yu Peng could help, but I didn't have the money, so I was a little at a loss.

Seeing Aunt Li's state, Yu Peng sighed slightly in his heart.

It's hard to be a good person, and it's even harder to be a good person. A bad person in his life will be praised by everyone if he does a good thing once in his life. A good person in his life will be scolded for decades if he does a bad thing once in his life.

Human nature is always so self-interested.

It's boring, it's really boring.

But, isn’t that what life is like?

Therefore, Yu Peng got straight to the point and told Aunt Li

"Aunt Li, if you want your son to live a better life in the future, I can help you, but don't think it's just my kindness. My help is not in vain. There has never been such an obligation in the world. Since you can't give anything, your son

I don’t have any money, so it’s easy to offset it with suffering. At least it makes me feel bad. Both your son and your daughter-in-law have to suffer a disaster. Although it won’t cause death, it still feels uncomfortable. You can do it yourself.

Decide”

After saying that, Yu Peng also sat on the steps, resting his chin in his hand in a daze, patiently waiting for a reply.

Anyway, in a small city, at this point in winter, there are almost no pedestrians, and there are usually few cars, so Yu Peng is not afraid of others seeing him.

After coming here for a while, probably half an hour, Aunt Li finally replied to Yu Peng.

"Who hasn't suffered? If you can live a good life despite suffering a little, it's worth it. I agreed on behalf of my son and daughter-in-law, and I won't bother the little fairy."

Yu Peng never cares what others call him. A good name will not make him happier, and a bad name will not make him feel more uncomfortable. It is just a symbol and has no impact on his own heart. So when he heard Li

Auntie calls herself this without any emotion.

So, after hearing Aunt Li's confirmation, Yu Peng got up and went back to the house. As he got up, he said to Aunt Li

"Then you go back. Being away from the urn for too long will make you lose yourself. The ghost who has lost his place will sooner or later become a lonely monster. He will either die or be eaten by other ghosts. You

I will take care of my son’s affairs.”

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house. Just now, Aunt Chen Song had already told him that the food was ready. Go back and eat quickly to replenish your strength.

The next night, at Aunt Li's son's house, Liu Tianci prepared a meal and asked Li Mei to come out for dinner.

Li Mei was still the same bad-tempered, and she was still cursing when she came out after putting on her pajamas. But maybe because she was too fat, or because she didn't stand firm, she accidentally fell and hit her head on the corner of the table where she usually eats.

Blood flowed like a gush.

Liu Tianci looked at Li Mei who had fainted on the ground. He panicked for nearly half an hour before he suddenly realized that he should call 120 for an ambulance...

Fortunately, the ambulance arrived quickly. Liu Tianci helped the two doctors and struggled to carry Li Mei into the ambulance and followed her to the hospital.

After sending Li Mei into the examination room, Liu Tianci felt anxious for the first time. Beads of sweat began to appear on his head. This was a feeling he had not experienced even after his mother passed away. He was so flustered that his vision went dark and he fainted.

passed.

After that, there was a series of examinations. Liu Tianci only suffered from syncope caused by mental stress, so he recovered quickly. Li Mei seemed to be in serious condition, but after the examination, it was found that in addition to trauma and broken skin and a lot of blood loss, she also

There are no other problems.

In the end, he was diagnosed with a minor concussion and skin trauma, stayed in the hospital for one night, and sent them back the next day.

When leaving the next day, the doctor was worried that Li Mei had any brain damage, so he even performed a head CT, but there was no abnormality.

Of course there was nothing abnormal, because the tumor on Li Mei's pituitary gland had been secretly removed by Yu Peng.

It was just a simple check-up, and the two of them returned home without spending much money. However, after returning home, Li Mei began to have symptoms of lethargy and anorexia. She could not eat for many days, and her body also lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

.

After returning home, Liu Tianci went to work as dull as before. After cooking for Li Mei in the morning and evening, when it was time to go to work and go to bed, he didn't even realize that Li Mei hadn't eaten for several days.

Li Mei didn't care about these trivial matters. She couldn't eat, but she wasn't hungry either. She slept every day, and the sheets were covered with sweat-stained white crystals. The whole room was filled with an unpleasant smell, but Liu Tianci didn't care either, or rather

No feeling.

After nearly half a month, Li Mei finally regained her appetite and was able to eat some food every day. However, compared with her previous food intake, it was completely different, as if she had less cat food. Correspondingly, here was

In just half a month, Li Mei lost nearly 70 pounds inexplicably, and she changed from a fat barrel to a figure.

Li Mei didn't know how she had lost more than 70 kilograms of meat, or why this happened. She only knew that she had to change a set of sheets and quilts every day, otherwise the house would be filled with an unpleasant fishy smell.

Before Li Mei could finish studying her changes, Liu Tianci didn't know which nerve was disturbed. After getting up one morning, he suddenly decided to take leave from work and stay at home with his wife.

And in the shocked eyes of his daughter-in-law, she began to help Li Mei clean up the housework and clean the house. While working, she also talked about some household matters, mostly talking about her previous life with her mother, and also about her work.

thing.

This made Li Mei start to have some new understanding and changes about herself, a man she had always known little about. She also began to tell Liu Tianci about some of her past, how she was looked down upon by others because of her fatness, and how she talked about herself.

bitter.

The feeling between the two people suddenly and in this inexplicable feeling gradually increased in temperature.

It was not until half a year later that when everyone who knew the couple saw them, the two of them had completely changed. Liu Tianci was neatly dressed, his hair was neatly trimmed, and his eyes were no longer dull, but more mature.

brilliance.

And Li Mei, as her name suggests, is a beautiful girl. She is 165cm tall and weighs about 100 pounds. She is not tall but has a well-proportioned figure. She has shoulder-length short hair.

It sets off the cuteness of a smiling face, and the eyes are always smiling, just like the crescent moon floating in the sky.

Although Li Mei's family used to contact Li Mei, they met very rarely, and even when they did contact, it was mostly quarrels. It's different now. The old man often comes over to see the two children, and the family sits together.

Eat, chat and have fun.

Back home, the old man would worship the Buddha statue enshrined at home every day, thanking the heaven for having eyes and giving his two children a new lease of life, and praying that his daughter, who was 2 months pregnant, would give birth to a fat boy and continue the family line.

After all, Liu Tianci only has himself on his side, and his daughter is the only one on his side. The important task of carrying on the family line depends on these two young people.

Of course, Heaven will not interfere in people's lives, and most of the people who respect Heaven are Taoists and worship Buddha. The two families cannot fight with each other, so they have no time to care about the life and death of ordinary people.

Therefore, all of this is naturally Yu Peng's method.

Later, Yu Peng found Aunt Li again and asked her if she would be willing to be reincarnated into the womb of his daughter-in-law. They were a pair of twins, one son and one daughter. If Aunt Li was willing, she would take advantage of the fact that the fetus was not born within 3 months.

Sanity, Aunt Li can be reincarnated.

Of course Aunt Li was willing in every possible way, so Yu Peng washed away Aunt Li's memory and turned it into a ball of pure consciousness energy, which was injected into the fetus. After that, the two fetuses would develop and grow healthily until birth.
Chapter completed!
