The art of refining the mind is a very high-level witchcraft. The so-called refining the mind means refining one's own mind and the other's mind. In other words, if one cultivates one's own spiritual realm to the highest level, one can melt the enemy's mind and control it for oneself. It is a terrible art of controlling the mind. However, for hundreds of years, no one has yet reached the highest level of this art, because the human mind is complicated. To master this art, one must have a mind free of distractions and be spotless. To be frank, even monks who have seen through the world of mortals find it difficult to achieve a mind as clear as still water.
Therefore, the descendants of the Heart Refining Technique specialized in refining beasts and tools. Like Xiaofan's jade-refining blood beast and Gu Xiaoning's jade-refining magic light, which we saw last night, that is the beast-refining technique, but the jade-refining magic light is a very low-level spell. Because jade refining has become a general term for the entire spell, many things have been overlooked. The real jade refining belongs to one of the tool-refining techniques. Shamanism and the Taoist evil sect are not the same kind of people. The descendants of witchcraft are both good and evil. Generally speaking, they have not done anything that harms the world and are not bad people.
They have been living in the deep mountains of Bazhong, keeping a low profile. In addition, they were born with deformed limbs, so it was impossible for them to go out and show off. Therefore, the world knows very little about the art of jade refining. Even if they know, like Grandpa Taizu, they only know that the art of jade refining can glue broken jade together, and they don't know that there is such a magical magic behind the real jade refining.
Hearing this, I thought to myself that my dad must know everything, because he is friends with Boss Gu, but he might have been locked up in Death Valley six years ago, so he couldn't even pass on any news to me. But I think I will be able to meet my dad soon, and this time we will definitely eliminate the Skeleton Evil and flatten Death Valley!
That's all Gu Xiaoning knew. The secret genealogy handed down from their ancestors was incomplete, and she heard a lot from her uncle. And the situation of Gu Qinglin's family during this visit to Bazhong was also provided by her uncle. Her uncle told her that Gu Qinglin had a wife and a son. His wife was a prostitute, and she must have had some ulterior motives for marrying a cripple from a mountain village like Gu Qinglin. So when she saw this person, she couldn't be soft-hearted. So last night, the two women took action.
I asked her what method Gu Qinglin's wife used, and whether she knew it. Gu Xiaoning shook her head and said that the woman fired an invisible hidden weapon. Fortunately, it hit the mobile phone hanging on her chest, otherwise she would have been hit. I asked her to take the broken mobile phone and take a look. There was a hole in the middle of the mobile phone, showing signs of scorch. I said that this might also be a kind of jade refining technique, and it seemed to be the same type as your jade refining magic light.
Gu Xiaoning couldn't understand it either, because she had only learned a few simple jade refining techniques, and the Jade Refining Miraculous Light was the most powerful one among what she had learned.
I stood up and said to her, "Just rest and recover first. I'll go to my cousin's house to check on him."
Gu Xiaoning sat up from the bed, bit her lip and said, "I'd better go with you, otherwise you won't be able to find the secret manual of jade refining."
"Do you know where Gu Qinglin hid this thing?" I was very curious that Boss Gu even knew this.
"No." She shook her head, but looked up at the Shar Pei and Shen Bing, as if there were some things she couldn't say in front of them.
The Shar Pei was quite tactful and immediately found an excuse to go out. However, Shen Bing sat on the edge of the bed, acting like she was not an outsider.
Gu Xiaoning pondered for a long time, and seeing that Shen Bing refused to leave, she could only say helplessly: "The secret skills of the Gu family are passed down orally. However, in order to avoid the situation where the descendants die when the previous generation is still young and cannot pass on the magic, each generation will tattoo the secret skills on their chest and back. I just wanted to go in last night and cut off the tattooed piece of flesh from my cousin's body and take it away."
Oh, so there is such a secret. This method of keeping secrets is not very appropriate. If the enemy finds it after death, won’t it be taken away
Gu Xiaoning seemed to see through my thoughts and said, "When the heir of the Gu family tattooed words on his body, he used a kind of witchcraft curse, which is only visible to the Gu family members or can be touched. If it is an outsider, not only can they not see any words, but they will die if they touch it!"
I thought, how could the Gu family not have a backup plan? No wonder Gu Xiaoning wanted to go with me. Without her, we really couldn't take the secret score. But she is injured now, so it's not suitable for strenuous activities. If she meets Gu Qinglin's wife and gets into a fight again, it will be troublesome. I said you don't go today, I'll go to find out the news.
Just then Miao Fengyi asked us to go downstairs to eat, and the Shar Pei dog followed us down. Miao Fengyi, who had seen so many people, was not surprised at all, as if she had heard about this from her father. While we were eating, her father kept staring at us with strange eyes, as if he was not eating, but following us. In the depressing atmosphere, I hurriedly finished eating, wiped my lips, and called Shen Bing out.
Shen Bing will definitely not neglect this matter. Her vitality has recovered after a night of recovery. I will let the Shar Pei dog take care of Gu Xiaoning here, and the two of us can go.
When I arrived at Gu Qinglin's door, I found a signboard with the words "Shop" written on it. The white lantern on the door was still hanging high, but the door was tightly closed.
Normally, when someone in the village dies, relatives and friends should come to help greet them, but their door was closed, and it seemed deserted, which was against common sense. I kept thinking, and I remembered that I once asked Miao Fengyi if there were any strange people in their village, and she said no. I think her father is not normal, and no one cared about Gu Quezi after his death. This is not just strange, it is very strange.
Shen Bing poked and complained in a low voice: "What are you thinking about? Go up and knock on the door."
I nodded, and just as I took a step onto the stairs, the door creaked open. A woman in white stood at the door. I recognized her immediately. This was Gu Qinglin's wife. Last night, due to the dim light, I couldn't see clearly, but now I can see clearly. This woman is very beautiful. Although her face is like frost, there is a charming taste between her eyebrows.
"There's a funeral at home, please stop." The woman didn't even ask why we were here, she just turned us away.
I tugged at the corner of my clothes, coughed twice and said, "My name is Xifeng. Taizu was once a friend of the Gu family's ancestors. We heard the sad news of Brother Gu's death, so we came here to offer our condolences."
When the woman heard me call myself Xifeng, she raised her slender eyebrows. After I finished speaking, she said in a cold tone: "Forget it. There will be no funeral during the New Year. I have already notified all the villagers yesterday that there is no need to come to pay their respects. We will not receive guests from afar, either. Please go back." After that, she turned around and went back to the house, slamming the door.
