Chapter 127 Merit
Although it is cumbersome to go through the twists and turns during the process, it avoids future troubles.

When foreigners came forward and reported it in the newspapers, it was like a conclusion. No official dared to investigate because it was like slapping the foreigners in the face. No one in the entire Qing Dynasty dared to do so.

In the past, Lao Cai fought one against eleven, one more than Ip Man, but eight foreign men kicked down his door at night and bullied him miserably.

From then on, there was another foreign Buddha on the minds of people from top to bottom in the Qing Dynasty.

The government dared not investigate, and the gangs could not be found. What was the concession? What was the status of the Camden family? How could they care about a bunch of low-class hooligans? Only in this way could the aftermath be perfectly resolved.

Although it was troublesome and cost a lot, and he almost failed, the reward was also great because Yan Xu gained merit for the first time.

Luck points can be obtained in every world, as can incense. Only special merits have only been obtained here. As for the reason, it is still unclear now, but he has finally found a way to upgrade the second golden finger.

The first cheat code is the Japanese recruitment system, which uses luck to upgrade and is the simplest one.

The second golden finger, although the incense god has infinite potential, it needs to be upgraded with merit.

Yan Xu was confused at the time, and wondered if it was so high-end. After all, one could become a saint if he had enough merits.

It was not until Yan Xu personally killed the sinful old beggar that he knew how to gain merit.

But the sinful old beggar could only provide dozens of merits, which made Yan Xu sigh at the difficulty of obtaining merits.

Even the most basic upgrade requires a thousand merits, which is equivalent to a dozen old beggars who deserve to be cut into pieces.

In this case, Yan Xu might have to kill all the important people in Demon City.

Rubbing his temples with a headache, Yan Xu, who was soaking in the Wuqi Decoction, startled Yang Delin who was thinking about how to adjust the dosage of the medicine.

When Yan Xu came back that day, he looked quite miserable, with his internal organs all suffering from the impact. Fortunately, he was extremely strong and had armor that reduced his strength by several layers. After taking a few doses of medicine and soaking in the Wuqi Soup, he was almost recovered.

"It's too dangerous. Don't do it in the future." Yang Delin took his pulse and said after a pause. He also heard about the sudden death of a group of beggars at the dock and immediately thought of Yan Xu.

But he didn't expect the danger to be so great, and even Yan Xu, with his skills, suffered serious injuries.

"If it was before, maybe I would consider it, but now." Yan Xu didn't say what to do now, but Yang Delin understood and stopped persuading him.

Yan Xu did it not only for the merit, but after seeing the twisted limbs and the frightened and numb eyes of those little beggars, he became more determined to do something.

Is he a good person? Yan Xu thinks he is not, because he is selfish, afraid of trouble and danger, and often weighs the pros and cons, so he is not a pure good person.

But he is not that bad, even though he has hundreds of lives on his hands.

In modern society, no matter what the reason is, a peanut is indispensable. Even the officials in ancient times would end up being chopped down at the vegetable market.

But he didn't think he had done anything wrong, because it was the world that was wrong.

Yan Xu didn't think he could change the world, but he could send a bunch of bastards to hell to see the King of Hell first.

However, fearing that he would encounter such an old silver coin as that of an old beggar again, Yan Xu decided to find out the other party's origins first. If an old beggar has this level of strength, then it would be better for him to make a long-term plan.

Fortunately, the old beggar was not serious. Because he wrote a diary, Yan Xu had the opportunity to get to know this person.

From the scattered diaries written several years apart, Yan Xu learned that the old beggar was originally a Taoist priest, was very intelligent, and had learned martial arts since childhood. He was also loved by his master and senior brothers.

His life should have been smooth sailing until he offended a sorcerer while traveling down the mountain.

That man was younger than him, but his skills were extremely powerful. The martial arts that he was proud of were useless. Instead, he was chased to the sect and killed by the other party, causing a river of blood.

When it came to him, no one knew whether he was cold-hearted by nature or had gone completely crazy, but he actually knelt down and begged for mercy, regardless of the fact that the other party had killed his master and destroyed his family, and wanted to become his disciple.

That’s why people say that people who practice evil magic are not normal. That person didn’t kill him, but left him an evil magic.

After narrowly escaping a disaster, he went crazy and practiced this evil art. Even though the method of practice was extremely unscrupulous, he still chose to do it.

He still dressed as a Taoist priest, and under the pretext of helping people tell fortunes and horoscopes, he spent ten years searching for seven boys with very special birth dates and horoscopes. He then disguised them as beggars and abducted them, torturing them to death in cruel ways and sealing their souls into himself. But it was then that he realized the other party's sinister intentions.

This evil magic will absorb the souls of the seven boys to strengthen itself, and not only can it be used as a substitute for death, but also can help withstand some powerful evil magic. However, the evil magic in his hands is incomplete and cannot be absorbed at all. Instead, he has to suppress it at all times to prevent backlash. At the same time, he finds that the person who brought him fear appeared again.

It turns out that he is just a bait, and once he catches a fish, it’s time to harvest.

But who could have imagined that the young Taoist priest who was full of vigor and vitality back then had already aged by dozens of years due to torture. Therefore, he used the method recorded in the Taoist book to seal the seven evil spirits transformed by the ghost child, disguised himself as an old beggar and quietly left, hiding for more than ten years.

Yan Xu did not intend to comment on the old beggar's experience. He had not had the same experience and did not know what the old beggar was thinking. He only knew that he deserved to die for what he did later, and that was enough.

In addition, the seven wolves also found a lot of valuables and a box of books from the underground secret room in the other party's room.

The property will be distributed to the Seven Wolves as bonuses according to a certain ratio, and the rest will be used as operating funds for the Guandi Society.

In Yan Xu's opinion, compared with those treasures, a box of books was the biggest gain.

In addition to many well-preserved Taoist books, the box also contained more than a dozen books on Baguazhang and a set of Wulang Bagua stick.

Wulang Bagua Stick did not originate from Bagua Palm. According to legend, it was a stick technique that was transformed from Yang Family Spear by Yang Wulang in the Song Dynasty after he became a monk in Mount Wutai. It is extremely powerful. No wonder Yan Xu was unable to fight back.

In addition, Baguazhang is not bad either. In addition to palm techniques and body techniques, there are also boxing techniques, leg techniques, long and short weapons, etc. Otherwise, there would not be as many as a dozen books.

However, Yan Xu attached more importance to the health-preserving effects of Baguazhang, so he gave it to Yang Zhenze, asking him to absorb it well and then teach him after he had mastered it, because the other party was his master.

In addition to this, there is an evil technique recorded on a piece of human skin, the Seven Evils Body Gathering Technique.

Since it is an evil magic, of course it is as harmful as possible. No wonder that person used it as bait and let the old beggar collect it. This thing is not difficult to practice, but it requires seven boys with very special birth dates. This is the most time-consuming, laborious and luck-intensive part.

Yan Xu certainly didn't know how to practice it, and he didn't feel comfortable handing it over to anyone, so he planned to bring it back to the modern era and seal it up.
