Fox Demon Crossing

"Brother Tao, I feel like my arm is going to be broken. I suffered a pretty bad defeat this time."

"If I really become disabled, I will definitely call the police to arrest Yang Yang!"

"Are you stupid?" Liu Tao said expressionlessly, slapping the man on the forehead. "How can people in our situation withstand a thorough police investigation? To tell you the truth, you have lived a comfortable life these years, eating all kinds of delicacies, but don't you know how much money you have spent? We got all that illegally. With the amount of money we have been involved in these years, if the matter gets out of hand, we will have to spend at least ten years in prison."

"The old man at the entrance of the alley just now gave us compensation, 20,000 yuan for each person's medical expenses. Gouzi, you were the most seriously injured, but your hand is at most just a fracture. Okay, don't say I didn't take care of you. I'll give you an extra 3,000 yuan for medical expenses. I think you should be satisfied with that."

Liu Tao continued, "Once we get out of this alley, I won't admit anything. Besides, who are you? You are just small hooligans under Boss Wang. You have been in the underworld for so long, don't you know the rules of the underworld?"

As he spoke, Liu Tao's face turned pale and he warned in a low voice: "If anyone dares to call the police, no matter what Boss Wang does, I will be the first one to not let you off."

One of the younger brothers with dyed yellow hair assured him: "Brother Tao, don't worry, we all know the rules. You are the one who brought us to earn this hard-earned money, how dare we have other ideas? We all come from the lower class, so getting beaten up is nothing."

"I hope so..."

Liu Tao walked out of the alley step by step. Although he didn't say anything, he was secretly cursing Yang Yang in his heart for hiding too deeply.

Thinking back to what happened just now, these few of Boss Wang's favorite disciples were completely helpless in the hands of Yang Yang. You know, these people are experienced in fighting, but they didn't expect that they would suffer such a big defeat today.

However, at this moment, he no longer had the desire for revenge.

That middle-aged man - to be exact, it was the middle-aged man who mentioned him lightly just now, and there was a chilling blood-red light flashing in his eyes, which was not a look that an ordinary person could have.

Liu Tao felt a chill in his heart. The ominous premonition told him that if they did not know their place, they might die at any time.

When she returned home, Jin Renfeng encountered a family meeting.

Mom Wang Ya, dad Yang Hong, second sister Yang Hui, and a big orange cat all gathered together.

Mother Wang Ya spoke first, "Ping An, we can ignore other things, but this is absolutely not okay. Ping An, tell me the truth, who taught you to practice internal skills?"

Seeing their serious expressions, Jin Renfeng didn't know how to respond for a moment. He could only lower his head and remain silent, thinking about the best lie to tell in his mind.

"Ping An, this matter is really crucial."

Mistakenly thinking that he didn't care, Wang Ya anxiously explained: "You are still young and don't understand the risks of becoming a person with special abilities."

"Special ability person..."

Jin Renfeng asked suspiciously, "You call cultivators people with special abilities?"

"No one taught me. I looked up Taoist texts online and some forum posts claiming to be cultivation methods. I practiced casually on weekdays in the evenings. I have been doing this for a long time without realizing it. Yesterday, I suddenly felt some strange energy in my body. I thought it was an illusion, but from your expressions, it seems that you all care about this."

"According to the Taoist scriptures on the Internet, I have already cultivated internal energy. I originally thought it was an illusion, but now it seems that it is not the case. I also noticed that the atmosphere at home is a bit strange, especially the orange cat. You told me that it has been raised at home since it was a puppy, but I checked online and found that the average lifespan of a cat is only twelve to fifteen years, and this cat is at least seventeen years old this year. Judging from the age of a cat, this is not normal. And the way it looks at me, and the attitude you treat it are also very strange."

"Also, my eldest brother is rarely seen all year round. You said he went abroad to study, but when we last chatted online, I specifically checked his location information, which showed that he was in the southwest of China. He never went abroad and had never even left the province."

"And my second sister, I often hear strange noises coming from her room late at night, and I can smell the smell of burning incense when I pass by the corridor."

Jin Renfeng asked with piercing eyes: "How are you going to explain these things?!"

"This one……"

As expected, my mother and second sister both felt a little guilty.

Only dad Yang Hong looked calm and composed.

In fact, these are not abnormalities that Jin Renfeng has only recently noticed.

The original owner had noticed something unusual or suspicious about the house a long time ago.

After living under the same roof for a long time, unless the original owner is an idiot, he or she will always notice something unusual in the house.

For example, the mysterious totem paintings in my parents' room, the bronze tiger statue on the altar, and those strange costumes and bone accessories...

Yang Hong blew out a smoke ring and said calmly: "Since you have already discovered it, we don't have to hide it from you anymore. Yes, there are indeed many things we have not told you. This is also for your own good. We don't want you to be involved in our circle."

Jin Renfeng did not interrupt him immediately. Yang Hong flicked off the ash and sighed, "The Internet is really a cross-era product. Some Taoist scriptures do contain some basic breathing methods, but most of the Taoist scriptures on the Internet have been tampered with, and most of the cultivation methods circulating on the Internet are fake. It's okay if there is no effect after practicing, but once there is an effect, you may have to go to the hospital."

"Minor endocrine disorders, severe ones may even lead to mental disorder. You can't practice martial arts moves at will..."

"You're lucky. It seems that you are practicing a breathing regulation method from a niche martial arts school that is about to be lost. Some knowledgeable people may post them on the Internet in order to avoid the interruption of their own inheritance."

"However, the breathing regulation methods of these niche sects usually have limited potential and little effect. Can you describe in detail the content of the breathing method you practice?" Yang Hong paused for a moment and said in a gentle tone, "Our family also has a breathing method that has been passed down. It is always safer to practice something of your own. After all, no one can be sure of the purpose behind the martial arts secrets uploaded on the Internet, or whether the content has been intentionally tampered with by someone. It is better to be safe than sorry."

"The vital energy sinks to fill the Dantian, calms the mind and holds on to the essence, opens the wisdom to illuminate all the gods, helps me seek truth and stay young forever, liberate seven generations of ancestors to reincarnate in the fairyland, and control the Qigong of the Unification of Hundreds of Gods. Secondly, think about the vital energy gathering from the Niwan Palace, you need to absorb the energy of the divine cloud..." Jin Renfeng recited the internal energy method originated from the Maoshan School in a flat tone.

A trace of surprise flashed across Yang Hong's face, and the words that Jin Renfeng had just read out echoed in his mind.

At first, he did not fully understand its meaning, but felt that it contained a deep mystery.

After a moment of silence, he thought about it carefully and suddenly felt that it seemed to be more advanced than the breathing method passed down in his family. He asked in a slightly stiff voice: "Kid, did you really learn this from the Internet?"

"This is an internal power cultivation method derived from the Shangqing Dadong Sutra, but the online version of the scripture is missing this part. It seems that it has been deleted." Jin Renfeng nodded and explained. He had browsed the Taoist classics on the Internet last night and found that there was no complete cultivation method in it, only some empty theoretical discussions.

At this moment, Yang Hui noticed the key point.

"Since you can't find it on the Internet, how did you learn it?" she asked puzzledly.

Jin Renfeng asked back, "Don't you know that the Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing actually originated from the Huangting Sutra? Although the Huangting Sutra on the Internet has also been deleted, as long as you read it repeatedly, you will always find some connections. Then, if you ponder every word, you will naturally understand it. It is actually not difficult."

"..."

Is it really that simple? Yang Hong and Wang Ya looked at each other, with surprise in their eyes.

If what their son said was true, then why didn't they realize that he had such talent before?

In fact, this is not talent, but amazing understanding. Practitioners need talent in the early stage, but they rely more on understanding in the later stage. Many methods to strengthen talent in cultivation are effective, but understanding is completely different. All the extraordinary people who have left a great reputation in history are geniuses with outstanding understanding and the ability to draw inferences from one example.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

In fact, Jin Renfeng intended to show his image as a genius with great understanding. In this way, when he makes amazing moves in the future, his family will understand and accept them (use your imagination).

At this time, Wang Ya reminded in a low voice: "Brother Hong, I remember that the Shangqing Dadong Sutra seems to be the secret book of Maoshan Sect. What if they find out that Ping An secretly learned the internal skills of others, will it be..."

"It shouldn't be that serious." Yang Hong frowned. "The inner strength is just like that after all. It all comes down to the difference in the speed of cultivation. As long as we keep it a secret, no one will know about it. I remember that the real secret of Maoshan Sect lies in their teaching ceremony, just like the way our Liangshan witches and shamans communicate with the immortals. That is the unique skill that will never be passed on to others."

"Liangshan witch?"

Upon hearing this word, Jin Renfeng's expression could not help but move - it turned out that his family's heritage actually originated from the Liangshan witches!

In the southwest of the city, Liangshan witches are a very famous ethnic tradition. They are a minority ethnic group that inherits ancient witchcraft. In this Uncle Jiu's world, Liangshan witches are proficient in divination, spiritualism, witch doctors and other skills, but I don't know if the witches in this world are the same.

"Listen, today I'm going to tell you something that may completely subvert your understanding of this world. As you can see, our world is not only populated by ordinary people, but also people with special abilities, that is, Inhumans."

Yang Hong extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it into the ashtray on the coffee table. He continued, "The so-called extraordinary people refer to beings that are different from ordinary people, and extraordinary people are divided into innate extraordinary people and acquired extraordinary people. People like us have mastered inner strength through acquired cultivation, so we are acquired extraordinary people."

"Special people have existed since ancient times. Let me name a few historical figures for you: Xiang Yu, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Daoling, and Zhang Sanfeng. They are all special people."

Yang Hong looked at Jin Renfeng, expecting to see shock in his eyes. However, to his disappointment, there was no shock in Jin Renfeng's eyes, only a thoughtful expression.

"There are many schools of strange people. We come from a branch of the ancient wizard school of Liangshan Wuji. Men are called shamans and women are called witches..."

Jin Renfeng nodded thoughtfully.

From the structure of the word "伍", the upper horizontal line symbolizes the sky, the lower horizontal line symbolizes the earth, the "人" characters on the left and right sides represent ghosts and gods and the people respectively, and the vertical line in the middle represents the identity of the wizard who communicates between heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, as time went by, the status of wizards was gradually replaced by Taoism. So much so that when some young people mention the profession of wizards, they may first think of the profession in Western legends. Little do they know that in ancient times, the status of wizards in China was incredibly high.

However, Jin Renfeng was slightly interested in the divination skills of the witches, but he was not very enthusiastic about skills such as spiritualism or witch doctors. He believed that spiritualism was at most to establish contact with those spirit monsters, sign a contract, and ask the so-called immortals to possess the body when necessary, which was similar to the Maoshan Sect's summoning technique, but obviously not as powerful as the Maoshan summoning technique he learned.
