Chapter Three Short-lived ancestral secrets
As soon as he closed his eyes, Su Hao felt the paper man in front of him, and also had a feeling that he could control the paper man.
Raise your hand!
As soon as Su Hao's thoughts came up, he felt the paper man raise his hand and quickly opened his eyes.
I saw that the paper man next to the offering table had raised his hands!
"Father, I succeeded!"
Su Hao was ecstatic, but the next moment he broke out in a cold sweat and collapsed on the ground. Then his vision suddenly went dark.
When he woke up, Su Hao found that he had returned to his own room.
"Father...I...what is...what's going on?"
Su Hao was gasping for breath as he spoke. At this time, he seemed to be seriously ill, and he couldn't even speak without gasping for air.
"You are hurting your vitality."
Su An sighed and said, "Uncle Fu, bring the medicine over here."
After hearing Su An's instructions, the paper man named Fu Bo, who was standing behind Su An, walked to the table and brought a bowl of soup in front of Su Hao.
"Master, this medicine is made from century-old ginseng. It can replenish your vitality. You will feel much better after drinking it."
Fu Bo's paper man still has a sinister smile on his face.
After taking the decoction, Su Hao was no longer afraid of the paper man Fu Bo. He could also control the paper man. Naturally, he would no longer be so afraid of the paper man Fu Bo.
Gulu!
Su Hao endured the bitter taste of the soup and took a sip.
After taking the decoction, Su Hao felt his body gradually warm up, followed by a deep sense of sleepiness. Not long after, Su Hao fell asleep again.
Looking at Su Hao who fell asleep again, Su An couldn't help but sigh: "Uncle Fu, do you think what I did was right or wrong?"
Those who cultivate their skills but not their moral character are heresies. The Su family’s secret art of paper figurines only involves various secret techniques of making and manipulating paper figurines, which is a heresy.
Most of the orthodox Taoist cultivation methods are inner alchemy methods, which require a hundred days of foundation building, refining the Qi to transform, refining the Qi to transform into the spirit, and refining the spirit to return to the void. Even if you are gifted and have practiced since childhood, you will still be able to become a master.
It will take at least thirty years.
However, most of the side sects only have methods for practicing martial arts, but not for self-cultivation. They simply practice martial arts. From practicing to becoming a disciple, it can take as long as one year, or as short as several months.
However, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Without decades of xinxing cultivation, one can gain power beyond ordinary people in a short period of time. Most of those who practice heretical practices are violent and will fall into evil ways if they are not careful.
The evil sorcerer who was killed by him three years ago is a typical example. The evil sorcerer was affected by the magic and fell into evil ways, so he killed people and took their souls for cultivation.
"Master, the young master has a talent for reading. As long as the young master can win the imperial examination, then he can stop practicing."
Fu Bo, who was pushing the wheelchair, said in a low voice: "And our Su family's paper figurine secret technique is relatively peaceful and will not affect the mind too much."
"I hope Haoer can pass the exam as soon as possible and stop practicing this ghost thing."
Hearing Uncle Fu's words, Su An could only comfort herself. Although the Su family's secret art of paper man is not as easy to affect the mind as ghost and magic methods, practicing the secret art of paper man requires energy and energy.
For example, Su Hao's previous painstaking efforts shortened Su Hao's life by at least ten years, and the subsequent practice was to refine the essence, energy, and spirit into magic power. Even if there were precious medicines to make up for it, it would not be able to make up for it.
Ever since the Su family acquired the secret skill of paper figures, almost no one in the eight generations has lived beyond the age of thirty-five, so he is considered to have a long life.
………
The next day.
Su An took Su Hao to the secret room again.
"Hao'er, our Su family has inherited four techniques, the most important of which is the secret technique of refining paper and controlling paper figurines."
Coming to the side of the paper man, Su An said in a deep voice: "But the paper man in front of you was painstakingly refined by our ancestors of the Su family. Its paper body is extremely hard, and it is stronger than the paper man you have re-refined yourself."
There are many, so you don’t have to refine it yourself anymore, what you have to practice now is the secret method of controlling paper figures."
"Father, what are the other three arts?"
Su Hao's face was pale, and his whole person still looked weak.
"The first magic is to scatter paper and turn it into an army."
Su An said with a serious look: "Although you already have a paper man, sometimes there is more than one enemy. Our paper makers' bodies are fragile. If we are approached by enemies, it will be extremely dangerous. Therefore, you must be thoroughly proficient in this spell.
"
Su An waved his hand, and dozens of pieces of paper flew out of his sleeves. The next moment, they turned into dozens of paper figures, tightly protecting Su An among them.
"Although these paper figures are worse than ordinary people, at critical moments, these paper figures are enough to hold off the enemy and give you a chance to escape."
"The second door is painted skin."
Su An continued: "Most of us who practice heresy are very aggressive and can easily provoke our enemies. Therefore, in order to prevent our enemies from being lured back home, most of us will change our appearance once we go far away."
After finishing speaking, Su An flicked his hand to his face, and the next moment he turned into a man with a slender face, a goatee, and a somewhat gloomy man in his thirties.
Then Su An's hand was pulled behind his ear, and a lifelike mask instantly appeared in his hand.
"Hao'er, this is a paper mask."
Su An shook the mask and said, "This paper mask was improved by our ancestors of the Su family based on the disguise technique of people in the world. It is a life-saving spell that hides traces."
Seeing Su An's actions, Su Hao's eyes suddenly lit up. When he was watching martial arts movies in his previous life, he was envious of the magical disguise technique. He didn't expect that his dream would come true now.
"The last technique is Yang Yuan Jue."
At this point, Su An's face became extremely serious: "Hao'er, our Su family's secret art of paper figures is heretical. It does not cultivate one's body but refines one's own essence and spirit into magic power, which greatly damages the vitality and longevity.
Later, your great-grandfather worked hard to obtain the Yangyuan Jue from a descendant of an imperial physician. This Yangyuan Jue is a method of maintaining health and can make up for the damaged vitality."
"So you must practice this Yang Yuan Jue every day!"
Hearing Su An's words, Su Hao was deeply touched. Just from the mouthful of blood he spit out yesterday, he felt like he was seriously ill. He couldn't even speak without breathing. If it happened again, he would probably die on the spot.
After introducing the four spells, Su An said in a deep voice: "Hao'er, your vitality is severely damaged now and you are not suitable for practicing magic, so you should practice the other three spells first."
"Take this pill first."
With that said, Su An took out a small jade bottle and handed it to Su Hao: "As a father, I will teach you how to cultivate the Yang Yuan Jue first."
After taking the small jade bottle, Su Hao poured out a pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Sit cross-legged! Remember the route of doing the exercises!"
Su An gave a low drink and put her remaining hand on Su Hao's back.
As soon as he sat cross-legged, Su Hao felt a warm current pouring into his body from Su An's palm.
