No taboos

Chapter 39: Splicer

When Xu Yuan finished hanging up the clothes, Lin Wanmo was walking to Aunt Wang's door.

Aunt Wang’s Zheluo shop is at the west end of the alley, but how long can an alley be?

This shows how fast Xu Yuan washes clothes!
The store is closed at night.

The canal bypasses Guiwu Mountain and flows through the south of the county town.

There is a wharf about seven or eight miles away from the county town. There are many ships on the river. Hundreds of coolies in the city make a living from the wharf.

When the cart pullers and porters are hungry, they come to the Zheluo restaurant to have a meal.

Aunt Wang’s shop has been open for hundreds of years and is a family business.

Aunt Wang’s parents and Grandpa Xu Yuan’s generation were the earliest residents of Hegong Lane.

The small shop in the front is used for business, and the room in the back is Aunt Wang's residence.

The stepmother entered through the back door. The back room was narrow and dim, and filled with a strange smell of oil.

There was no one in the room, and from the attic came the sound of chopping bones.

Duang, Duang, Duang!

"Aunt Wang?" Lin Wanmo called towards the stairs.

The sound of chopping bones stopped. After a moment of dead silence, a head floated out from the stairs.

His hair was gray and disheveled, and his expression was cold and wooden.

Seeing Lin Wanmo, the head showed a kind smile: "Xiao Mo is here."

Then there were footsteps in the attic and a figure came down the stairs.

The head and body were in sync, with a distance of three feet between them.

Halfway down the stairs, my foot suddenly slipped and I fell down.

But his head was still floating above, and he called out to himself with a worried look on his face: "Ouch... be careful!"

His body rolled down and fell to the ground with a thud, scattering like building blocks.

Two arms and two legs, two hands and two feet, as well as organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, rolled out from the torso...

Scattered all over the ground, but not a drop of blood!

Lin Wanmo sighed, turned around and closed the door skillfully to avoid being seen and scared by passers-by.

Then help Aunt Wang put her hands and arms together.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it myself." Aunt Wang smiled.

It was a real scramble to put the whole body together and stuff the internal organs into the stomach.

Finally, he caught the head that was floating over with both hands and pressed it on his neck. It seemed that the spine was not properly connected. He turned it left and right a few times, and with a click, it was able to move freely.

"It's okay..." Aunt Wang just said this, then suddenly grinned, reached her hand into her stomach and adjusted the position of some internal organs, and then she felt comfortable.

"This time it's really good."

Lin Wanmo felt distressed: "Aunt Wang, you have suffered so much."

Aunt Wang smiled cheerfully, not worried about herself at all: "I'm not suffering, it's you, little girl, who's suffering."

Aunt Wang took her hand, patted it gently, and scolded her, "Xu Huanyang is such a heartless man. He has made such a good girl like Xiao Mo suffer so much."

A hint of stubbornness appeared on Lin Wanmo's face. "This is my fate. I don't blame him. He has been so kind to my family. Without him, I would have died long ago."

"Forget it," Aunt Wang waved her hand. "Let's not talk about him anymore. Don't worry, even if it's just for you, I have to hold on until at least the middle of July next year."

"Thank you, Aunt Wang. If it weren't for the help from you elders, I don't know if I could have completed Xu Yuan's father's request."

Aunt Wang asked, "What brings you here today?" "Xu Yuan is back."

Aunt Wang was surprised: "He's back so soon? You arranged for him to go out so that he could get out of this matter... Wait a minute!" Aunt Wang was a little unbelievable: "He..."

"He is done!"

Aunt Wang suddenly stood up and walked around the small room excitedly, her head involuntarily separated from her body and floated up.

"Hey! Look at me, an old woman. I get a little carried away when I get excited."

Aunt Wang put her head back down and said, "This kid is good! I think he has more potential than that old guy Xu Huanyang!"

Lin Wanmo was a little worried: "But he also has some hidden dangers."

Then he told her about the inner elixir of blasting medicine.

As for the Pingtian Society’s affairs, compared with the problems the Xu family has to face, that’s nothing.

Aunt Wang was surprised: "This kid... is really brave."

"You are also a Dan cultivator. I was feeling uneasy and didn't dare to tell Xu Yuan, so I came to you first to think of a solution."

"Cannonballs condensing into an inner elixir! I've never even heard of such a situation, let alone encountered it. This kid is so bold, so bold, the key is that he actually managed to do it!" Aunt Wang lowered her head and walked back and forth: "Don't worry, let me think about it..."

Lin Wanmo did not blame Xu Yuan for this matter. From Xu Yuan's narration, it can be seen that the first thing to consider at that time was to survive!
Xu Yuan also knew that using artillery powder to condense the inner elixir would inevitably cause trouble.

Aunt Wang muttered to herself as she walked: "It was okay before the sixth level, the power of the fire in the belly is limited."

"But after reaching the sixth level, the power of the fire in the abdomen increases greatly. The alchemist himself becomes like a huge furnace, with a ball of cannonballs inside. It can explode at any time, and then he will be shattered to pieces..."

Lin Wanmo couldn't help but stamp his feet. Auntie, I came to you to ask you to help me find a solution, not to make me more anxious.

Aunt Wang realized it and apologized, "I talk too much when I'm old."

She closed her mouth, walked around twice more, and suddenly clapped her hands: "I actually thought of a way."

Lin Wanmo's face was full of anticipation: "What method?"

Aunt Wang looked at her, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

"You said it."

"Let him practice craftsmanship as well and weave a cage for his inner elixir."

Lin Wanmo frowned deeply.

The dark and narrow room suddenly fell into dead silence.

After a long while, Lin Wanmo finally said, "You should know that once the Xu family becomes a craftsman, they can't escape that fate. This is the consequence of the Xu family losing the bet that day!

If you lose, you have to accept your fate. For all descendants of the Xu family, this is 'destiny'!
Xu Yuan's grandfather and father both died a miserable death!"

Therefore, Xu Yuan's father never passed on the secrets of craftsmanship to Xu Yuan, even though the Xu family had the best craftsmanship talent in the world.

That's why Lin Wanmo tried his best to give Xu Yuan a chance to become a life cultivator.

The preciousness of "old year's grain" far exceeded Xu Yuan's imagination.

Only by becoming a destiny cultivator can there be a glimmer of hope to “change your destiny”.

If you can't become a cultivator of destiny, other ways of cultivation will be of little use. It's better to just be an ordinary person.

　I can finally see myself on the new book list, haha.
