Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 388 Yihe Old News
"Don't, don't, kill."

Cullen seemed to have a premonition that death was approaching. Even though blood foamed from his mouth and his face was gray and gloomy, he still did not give up struggling.

"Alright, we are all from the same world, we have to admit defeat. But I am here to do business, and you are my guest. I will give you a ride in the end."

Qin Huai lowered his eyelids and growled. With the crisp sound of freezing, Kulun, like his subordinates, turned into a frozen solid ice sculpture.

"Master, what should I do with these braids?"

Sea Wolf came out from behind the lobby with his men, approached Qin Huai and asked softly.

"Pile them all up in the backyard and I'll take care of it."

Qin Huai nodded slightly, glanced at Lin Heier who was kneeling on the ground coughing up blood after a fierce fight, and casually took out a Qingwei yellow talisman and handed it to him: "If you trust me, burn this talisman and soak it in water to drink. If you don't trust me, then just endure it. But I have something to ask you when I come back later, you can weigh it yourself."

After saying that, Qin Huai no longer cared about the Holy Mother of Yellow Lotus, who was like a hot potato, and walked towards the backyard.

After about a quarter of an hour, the guys who entered the building used carts to pile up dozens of frozen ice sculptures together to form a small hill.

Qin Huai clenched his fist and punched out. The golden and red heavy punch with the power of [Arrogant and Cruel] and [Soul-Destroying] blasted the ice sculpture of flesh mountain into powder. The extreme yang attached to the tip of the fist gushed out, and before the powder and residue fell to the ground, it had already burned into a huge cluster of fireworks, turning into wisps of white mist that rose up and dissipated into the air.

"Old Wolf, do you know what to tell the guys?"

Qin Huai took the towel handed to him by Sea Wolf and wiped his hands, then watched the servants clean up the mess neatly.

"I know. Nothing happened tonight. The group of Qing dogs did come, but they ran into the female thief and then killed her. It has nothing to do with our Jinlou."

Seeing Qin Huai use miraculous means to destroy the body so thoroughly without leaving any trace for investigation, Sea Wolf was immediately convinced.

"Well, we'll just do business as we should in the future."

Qin Huai nodded, turned around and was about to go back upstairs, but he seemed to remember something and added to Hai Lang: "Ask Sister Lian to come to the third floor and pack up some gold and silver jewelry to send to the brothers I brought today."

Golden Building, three floors.

Qin Huai was sitting in an elegant room, in front of him was a table full of sumptuous food and wine freshly prepared by the kitchen, and sitting opposite him was Lin Heier, who had washed off her paint and makeup.

"When I was learning boxing from my master, I often heard my uncles and aunts talking about the Boxers' secret technique of being indestructible and summoning gods to their homes. I just saw that the method you used was no different from that of the Great God Nezha of the Three Altars and Seas, but the power was much weaker. I guess it was that method?"

Qin Huai held a glazed gold cup in his hand, and looked at Lin Heier, whose complexion had improved a lot, with a half-smile.

"Yes and no."

Lin Heier looked at Qin Huai, thinking of what he had just done, and began to talk about some past events: "Your master is actually very clear about these things. If it weren't for his secret rescue, it would have been difficult for us brothers and sisters to escape the encirclement and suppression of the new army under the dog thief Yuan. But since your master has never mentioned those old stories to you, let me tell you about them."

"Back then, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was not yet abundant. Except for a very small number of geniuses and extraordinary people, ordinary people's progress in martial arts was not very fast. If one cannot achieve great success in external training before the age of 40 when the energy and blood decline, even if one's skills and moves are exquisite when old, one's lifetime achievements will be very limited."

"Looking back a hundred years ago, foreigners used their powerful guns and cannons to set up foreign churches to erode faith, oppress the people of the Qing court and plunder their gold and silver. The elder brother felt that the people were living in hardship and it was difficult for them to survive, so he thought of starting the Yihe Rebellion to support the Qing court and eliminate the foreigners.

In the 23rd year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, my elder brother led us to seek the true Dharma of Buddhism and Taoism, but unfortunately we gained little. The eight sects of Buddhism sought refuge in the Pure Land, locked their doors, and no one responded; the five branches of Tibetan Buddhism, two of which did not leave the plateau, were deserted; three served the Qing court and directly killed my elder brother who sought the Dharma. The many schools of Quanzhen Taoism were closely connected with the Qing imperial family, so they naturally would not come to help; the Zhengyi sect had been in decline for a hundred years, and there were not many true practitioners left, and the entry requirements were strict; in the end, a true practitioner of Maoshan heard the news of Yihe and rushed from Jiangxi to teach some witches and gods’ methods. ”

"Oh? Could it be that the predecessors of the Red Lanterns and the Boxers were all masters of the opera industry?"

Qin Huai threw down a piece of clean grilled lamb ribs and asked curiously.

"That's not the case. The divine summoning method is divided into [respectfully summoning divine methods] and [divine attack]. The method I just used is the ancestor of [divine attack]. Only entertainers can unleash its magic."

"Tell me what you can say. What are the differences between these three?"

Qin Huai glanced at Lin Heier, whose face showed a look of reminiscence, and spoke.

"[Summoning the Gods] is a side-door method that burns one's blood and lifespan to extract spiritual energy to temporarily strengthen the body. Since one cannot see the true spirit, nor can one invite the gods, I don't want to mention it anymore. As for [Divine Attack], one needs to master both external training (muscles, bones and skin) and internal training (qi training). Only in this way can one feel the outline of [Heavenly Principle], connect with the will of heaven and earth, invite the gods into the body, and display divine power."

Suddenly, Lin Heier looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "The root of the method of fighting with gods lies in this word God. The two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, as well as Western religions, Huimen Wu Nuo, etc., all have this principle. The first thing to worship is the gods, and then the heavenly principles, and the last thing to worship is oneself!"

"Heavenly principles."

Qin Huai thought of the words [Heavenly Law (Remaining)] that had appeared in the status bars of the three people, and felt that he had grasped some key information.

"The method I used just now is called [Playing with Ghosts and Gods]. I learned it from an old Nuo master in Jiangxi. If you want to learn it, I can teach you. Just consider it as repaying the favor of saving my life."

Lin Heier took out an ancient book from his arms and handed it to Qin Huai.

["Playing with Ghosts and Gods" Volume 1: Stealing God]

Category: Codex

Quality: Special

It can connect with the consciousness of incense gods, mountain gods and monsters, use its own spiritual energy as bait, and generate divine energy derived from faith. When the divine energy is sufficient, it will condense into a usable godhood.

Basic requirements: Singing and Dancing 70%, Status [Qi Existence], Status [Heavenly Law (Residual)]

"Aren't you afraid that I won't return it to you after I take it?"

Qin Huai took a look at the yellowed ancient book. There were a few pictographic characters written crookedly on it, and it looked very shabby.

"From what I saw of your skills earlier, I'm afraid you're not far from being a grandmaster. If it can be passed down in your hands, it will have a much better fate than in the hands of a female thief like me who has not much time left."

Lin Heier looked at Qin Huai, with a strong sense of self-mockery in her words.

"Then I will obey your command. But you can keep it and leave me a copy. My wife is a famous actress and it just happens to be useful to me."

Qin Huai pondered for a while, and thinking that he would soon reach Jiulong's body, he handed the code back.
