Chapter 16 Yachi is my brother Only after making sure there was no danger did Tao Tie pick up the cloth bag. Keep it close to your body so that others won't easily see it, and bring it to the surface decisively. The first thing to do after getting ashore is to wipe off the water stains and put on clothes. In the past, if you came out of the river without a towel, it would not be easy to dry yourself. But now, just a gentle shake will get rid of all the water stains on your body. It has a bit of the meaning of "not even a fly or insect can touch it, not even a feather can fall on it". After putting on the dry official student uniform of the missionary college, Tao Tie left the riverside and walked back to the Shahe Gang Wharf Manager's duty room. How did you say that? How should we say goodbye? Just like when we first met. Since you said hello when you came, you should naturally say hello when you leave.

This is called etiquette, this is called being particular. However, in a short period of time, Tao Tie did not undergo any psychological changes, but Li Zeyuan was different. Even though he obtained a storage bag of considerable capacity, which also contained the Five Ghosts' Moving Technique, he remained calm. As Tao Tie became more familiar with [Knowing Everything], he had completely let go of the matter of chance. With a golden finger that can see through most of the world, there will definitely be no shortage of opportunities in your future cultivation career. Therefore, it’s just a storage bag and a five-ghost bag, and there’s nothing to be surprised about. Looking at Li Zeyuan's complicated expression, his flickering eyes, his embarrassment and the cold sweat on his temples and forehead, Tao Tie could not help but guess that Instructor Huang, who came to the dock from the missionary academy, had secretly warned Li Zeyuan. As for the cause... Thinking of this, Tao Tie took out a blue storage bag/Five Ghosts Bag from his arms and shook it in front of Li Zeyuan: "Manager Li, this is an ownerless item. According to the rules of Yudai River, whoever fishes it out owns it." After a pause, Tao Tie added, "According to the rules of the Shahe Gang, anyone who salvages ownerless items in the docks and river sections controlled by the Shahe Gang needs to pay 15 copper coins to redeem them. Rules are rules, and they cannot be broken at will. Here are 15 copper coins, please keep them, Manager Li." As he spoke, Tao Tie took out a purse from his arms, counted out fifteen copper coins one by one, and then threw them towards Li Zeyuan with great force. Just like a month ago, Li Zeyuan threw out fifteen taels of silver in front of the dock porters and members of the Shahe Gang as if giving alms. Jingle bells. Unlike Tao Tie who caught the fifteen taels of silver, Li Zeyuan did not catch the fifteen copper coins thrown by Tao Tie. It’s not that Li Zeyuan’s skills are not as good as Tao Tie’s, nor is it that Li Zeyuan doesn’t want to take it, but he has to make himself more embarrassed. But Li Zeyuan is unable to move now. Instructor Huang, who came to the dock from the missionary academy together and secretly protected Tao Tie, kept his mind locked on Li Zeyuan. Especially after Tao Tie came out of Yudai River, he was obviously carrying a strange object on his body. "Hmm? Manager Li wants to break the rules of the Shahe Gang? Not follow Miss Mo's instructions?"

Tao Tie saw the trick, but pretended that he didn't know that Li Zeyuan was in a state of immobility. He just said sarcastically, "It seems that Manager Li doesn't think that Miss Mo will really enforce the rules of the Shahe Gang with iron and blood and restore the glory of the Shahe Gang as she claimed." In the past month, Mo Yuhan, the eldest daughter who returned from Jingling Mountain, has used a series of means to strongly establish her own authority and consolidate her position as the only heir to the Shahe Gang. Many old people who had other thoughts, or those who only followed orders and not announcements, and those who seemed to be in a position of power that was difficult to remove, were taken down one after another by Miss Mo for various reasons and in various ways. Either idle, or retired, or promoted in name only and demoted in reality, or directly executed! Through her actions, Miss Mo made the members of the Shahe Gang and other people and forces in Liuxian County believe her claim that she would enforce the rules of the Shahe Gang with iron and blood and restore the glory of the Shahe Gang! Although Tao Tie stayed in the missionary house and devoted himself to improving himself, it did not mean that he was isolated from the world. On the contrary, the missionary academy places great emphasis on teaching formal students about changes in the external situation and conflicts among various forces. After all, fundamentally speaking, the missionary schools spread across the country are an extremely critical part of the Dayong Dynasty's talent reserve system. In Liuxian County, the county literature respects Confucianism, the county martial arts promotes military skills, and the missionary academy spreads the Taoist, Buddhist, and witchcraft methods of practice, and collects Taoist, Buddhist, and witchcraft talents for the court. The direction of the school determines the educational model. What the Missionary Institute wants and needs to output to the court is not those Taoism fanatics who are only concerned with their own practice, but shrewd and capable "law-abiding officials"! As a result, the Shahe Gang, which had caused quite a bit of trouble in the past month, became the focus of the missionary institute's explanations in this regard. Tao Tie knew what Miss Mo said and did, so he was not surprised at all. It is only natural to use Mo Yuhan's words and actions to pressure Li Zeyuan. Li Zeyuan's already ugly expression became even uglier after hearing Tao Tie's sarcastic words. But before he could say anything, Instructor Huang's gentle voice sounded in Tao Tie and Li Zeyuan's ears at the same time: "It's getting late, we should go back for dinner." "Yes, teaching." Tao Tie didn't even have to think about it, and followed suit, then sincerely thanked him, "Thank you for your teaching and support." Many things do not need to be stated explicitly, those who understand will naturally understand. Not only did Instructor Huang know that Tao Tie was thanking him for warning Li Zeyuan. Even Li Zeyuan himself knew who was being warned. This made Li Zeyuan even more angry! Bitch! A dog-like thing! If you hadn't had the secret support of the teachers at the Missionary Academy, even if you had become a formal student of the Missionary Academy, today, Li Zeyuan would kill you even if he had to give up his position as the head of the Shahe Gang, his current stable life, and be hunted down by both the Liuxian County Government and the Missionary Academy. Just like killing that water ghost, blast it into pieces with one arrow! The kind that can’t even be put together completely! Killing intent is something mysterious and illusory, and most people cannot see it. But being invisible doesn’t mean being unable to feel it. Huang Junshi, an instructor at the missionary academy who was outside the dock, could clearly sense the murderous aura emanating from Li Zeyuan. He went after Tao Tie with murderous intent, wishing to tear him into pieces! Tao Tie himself also sensed it. However, Tao Tie did not feel any fear because of this. He remained very calm and walked towards the dock with steady steps.

As he walked, he said indifferently: "Manager Li, I advise you to pick up the copper coins yourself and show Miss Mo your attitude, position and loyalty. Otherwise..." No heavy hammer is needed to play the drum. Having said that, enough is enough. Watching Tao Tie's back as he walked out of the dock, Li Zeyuan's expression changed from gloomy to bright, as if he was playing a face-changing magic trick. Picking up money? Even if Li Zeyuan jumped off the pier, he would never pick up money! "cough……" Suddenly, Instructor Huang, who was outside the dock, seemed to have some discomfort in his throat. He cleared his throat and coughed lightly. Although the cough was light, it was like a bolt from the blue in Li Zeyuan's heart, completely waking him up. Don't want to pick up money? I'm afraid this is not up to him, Li Zeyuan! Just like Tao Tie didn't want to go into the water to act as bait to lure the water ghost, he had no choice! Li Zeyuan clenched his back teeth, slowly squatted down, and picked up the fifteen copper coins scattered all over the wooden board one by one. Outside the pier. Tao Tie walked to the willow tree where Instructor Huang was, and without saying anything, he bowed 90 degrees, performed a great salute, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Student Tao Tie, thank you Instructor Huang!" Originally, according to Tao Tie's plan, he came to the dock this evening just to go down to the river to "absorb" the cold water. By the way, see if you can get a small opportunity to take away the blue cloth bag that does not look like an ordinary thing at first glance. I never thought about directly provoking Li Zeyuan. I never thought about taking revenge on Li Zeyuan now. Even if it is impossible to retaliate in kind, you still have to collect some interest in advance! However, Instructor Huang, who was becoming more and more optimistic about Tao Tie, had obviously investigated Tao Tie's past and knew what happened at the dock on the day Tao Tie entered the missionary academy and became a formal student. After hearing Tao Tie's request to ask Instructor Huang to apply to the missionary institute on his behalf to allow him to go to the pier to study, he immediately took the initiative to come with Tao Tie. At that time, Tao Tie had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to be sure, and he only dared to think more about protection. As the saying goes, armed with sharp weapons, murderous intentions are everywhere. With Instructor Huang's company, Tao Tie felt at ease even though Instructor Huang did not enter the dock. After seeing Li Zeyuan, he could no longer suppress his anger and made provocative moves, even thinking about how to retaliate in advance. After coming out from the bottom of Yudai River and noticing the change in Li Zeyuan's facial expression, Tao Tie was sure that Instructor Huang had come here today just to vent his anger. Not only was he not angry at Tao Tie's previous behavior of taking advantage of his power, but he took the initiative to attack him, further confirming that Tao Tie now had someone backing him up. This made Li Zeyuan, whose strength was still far superior to Tao Tie, dare not make any rash moves. Since this is the case, Tao Tie simply does it more thoroughly. This led to the action of showing the storage bag to Li Zeyuan, and also hinted that Tao Tie's ability to enter the missionary temple and find the storage bag was closely related to being forced into the water by Li Zeyuan as bait. He also took out fifteen copper coins and threw them on the ground, acting condescendingly towards Li Zeyuan. Thank you can't be an empty promise.

Tao Tie stood up, took out the storage bag/Five Ghosts Bag he found at the bottom of Yudai River, and handed it to Instructor Huang: "I have nothing to express my gratitude, but this storage bag I found at the bottom of the river is of some value. I am willing to present it to you as a token of my gratitude." "You have a heart." Instructor Huang glanced at the storage bag/Five Ghosts Bag in Tao Tie's hand, and lingered on the blue pattern and patterns for a while. After identifying it, he said in a deep voice, "This bag is your opportunity. You can take it yourself. You don't have to give it to me. It's enough as long as the thought is there." After a pause, Huang Jiaoxi pondered for a moment and gently reminded: "There is no distinction between good and evil in magic. If you use it in a good way, it will be good. If you use it in an evil way, it will be evil. You should be more careful." Hearing what Instructor Huang said, Tao Tie immediately understood. Instructor Huang also realized that the azure cloth bag was not only a storage bag, but also a Five Ghosts Bag that carried the Five Ghosts Moving Technique. Indeed, one cannot underestimate the people of the world! Tao Tie sighed silently in his heart, and felt more and more that it was a great blessing that he did not become arrogant because of obtaining the golden finger [Knowing Everything]. With this in mind, Tao Tie once again sincerely thanked Instructor Huang: "Thank you very much, Instructor. I will definitely remember your teachings and will never forget them." "Ah." Huang nodded calmly, without commenting on Tao Tie's statement, and turned to leave, "Go back quickly, the kitchen made braised lion's head today, if you go too late it will be gone." Tao Tie behind him felt secretly amused and a little disappointed. Teacher Huang is a very serious person in his daily life. His few hobbies are reading, reading all kinds of books, and eating delicious food. Tao Tie also likes delicious food, he liked it in his previous life. After practicing the "Gluttonous Visualization Method", I became even more greedy. Unfortunately, he has only completed the 100-day foundation-building and refining of grains into essence, and has not yet truly begun to practice the "Taiyi Five Elements Guiding and Refining Body Technique", and has not refined the first wisp of "Qi". Even if you can eat whole grains, various fruits, vegetables and meat, it is easy for your body, which has been worked hard to maintain perfect energy and spirit, to be contaminated with unnecessary acquired foul energy. Therefore, the most suitable food for Tao Tie now is the medicinal food which has excellent effect of strengthening the body but tastes very bad. Teacher Huang was in a hurry to go back to eat the braised lion head, but he could only go back to eat the tasteless medicinal food. Come to think of it, it’s inexplicably sad. However, no matter how inexplicably sad you feel, you still have to eat the medicinal food. After dinner, Tao Tie returned to his single dormitory. Without doing anything, he dripped a drop of blood from his fingertip onto the storage bag/Five Ghosts Bag. This essence blood is not ordinary blood, but blood that gathers a trace of perfect essence, energy and spirit. If you simply want to let an ownerless storage bag recognize its owner by dripping blood and gain access to the storage bag, ordinary blood will be enough. However, if Tao Tie wants to inherit the Five Ghosts Moving Technique from the storage bag/Five Ghosts Bag, he must drip some essence and blood! After a moment, the ownerless storage bag recognized its master, and Tao Tie could open and close the storage bag at will. At the same time, he also inherited the Five Ghosts Transporting Technique which was also carried by the Five Ghosts Bag. The storage bag was empty, with nothing in it except five palm-sized paper figures. The inheritance of the Five Ghosts Moving Technique followed the mysterious connection and flowed into Tao Tie's mind. [Knowing Everything] does not need Tao Tie to activate it, it is triggered actively, helping Tao Tie absorb the inheritance of the Five Ghosts Moving Technique faster and more smoothly while triggering information fragments.

[Skill: Five Ghosts Moving Technique] [Information fragment 1: This is the Five Ghosts Moving Things Technique, not the Five Ghosts Bringing Wealth Technique.] [Information fragment 2: You will find a method in the Tao, and a technique in the method. The ultimate technique is the method, and the ultimate method is the Tao.] [Information fragment 3: Incorporating the "Taotie Visualization Method" may have miraculous effects] After reading the three information fragments, Tao Tie's attention was instantly attracted by the content of [Information Fragment 2]. What does it mean that the ultimate of technique is the law, and the ultimate of law is the Tao? Does this mean that if one practices the "Five Ghosts Moving Technique" to the extreme, one can become a human immortal? (End of this chapter)
