Early the next morning, Su Yi was still sleeping soundly in bed, but was suddenly awakened by the movement on the balcony.

He heard a person jump from the window sill into the balcony. The person was not tall and sounded like a child.

Su Yi guessed who the visitor was and her body gradually relaxed.

He got dressed and went out of the bedroom, and saw a little boy with white hair sitting in his living room playing with his own sunglasses on his eyes.

Seeing Su Yi coming out, he seemed a little scared. While keeping a distance from Su Yi and moving towards the door, he took off his sunglasses and put them on the shoe cabinet next to the door.

Just as he was about to open the door and go out, Su Yi suddenly asked: "Have you had breakfast?"

The white-haired boy was silent for a moment and shook his head.

Su Yi walked to the sofa, picked up his wallet, took out some change and handed it to him.

"Barbecued pork buns, two cups of black milk tea, whatever you want to eat is your choice."

The white-haired boy looked into Su Yi's eyes through the gap in his bangs.

Su Yi kept handing out the money and said, "Go quickly, I have something to do later."

The white-haired boy took a step forward, suddenly grabbed the money from Su Yi's hand, opened the door and ran out.

The sound of his fast footsteps gradually faded away. Su Yi shook his head and turned back to the bathroom to wash up.

When Su Yi finished packing and returned to the living room, he found that the white-haired boy was already waiting for him in the living room.

There is a large bag of barbecued pork buns and four cups of black milk tea on the dining table.

Su Yi stepped forward and took out two cups of black milk tea, four more barbecued pork buns, and then handed the rest to the white-haired boy.

"your."

The white-haired boy stepped forward to take it, turned around and walked out.

When he walked to the door, Su Yi stopped him.

"Hello."

Su Yi pointed to the sunglasses on the shoe cabinet: "Do you like this?"

The white-haired boy was silent.

"I gave it to you." Su Yi smiled at him, "Let it be a meeting gift."

The white-haired boy remained silent for a longer period of time, then suddenly said: "My name is Xiaobai."

"My name is Ahao." Su Yi said.

Xiaobai nodded, grabbed his sunglasses, turned around and ran out.

Su Yi looked away, picked up the breakfast on the table and went out.

Today was the first day he was going to learn magic with Chen You, and he was full of expectations for it.

When we arrived at Chen You's house, Chen You had already gotten up and decorated the living room into a simple altar.

The tables, chairs and other miscellaneous things in the middle of the living room have been moved aside, leaving a large open space.

On the ground, there seems to be a mixture of cinnabar and some kind of pigment, drawing the pattern of the Bagua directions.

The cabinets next to the balcony were sorted out, incense burners and candles were placed, and three portraits were hung.

The highest one is the portrait of Yuanshi Tianzun, the left one is Taishang Daojun, the right portrait is slightly lower, but it is the portrait of a Jurchen, Zixu Yuanjun.

Su Yi knew something about Taoism, and knew that Wei Huacun, Lord of the Purple Xu Dynasty, also known as Mrs. Wei of Nanyue, or Grandma of the Second Immortal, was revered as the first-generation heavenly master of the Qing sect on Maoshan Mountain.

"Coming?" Chen You raised his head and glanced at Su Yi.

Wearing a Taoist robe, he was sitting on the edge of the balcony with his legs crossed, whittling a mahogany sword.

Itchy Scratch's head was chopped off by him, and his feet wearing flip-flops were covered with sawdust and looked dirty.

"Brother You," Su Yi walked in and glanced at the balcony subconsciously.

The glass on the balcony is still there, but the broken glass yesterday was swept to the corner.

Only Su Yi's figure was reflected in the mirror.

Su Yi looked at the pattern on the ground and carefully walked around it.

"Brother You, I brought breakfast." Su Yi put the food on the table in front of Chen You and pointed to the Bagua pattern on the ground: "Is this a magic circle?"

It looks a bit crude, like a copycat version.

"It will be used to liberate those two water ghosts later." Chen You said without raising his head, "When you worship the ancestor, you will liberate these two water ghosts with me. Please understand carefully, this is a rare opportunity to liberate powerful ghosts."

Duo. If you weren't so yang-qi and talented, you would have to wait at least three years of learning Taoism before you can do such a thing."

Su Yi was a little moved and asked: "Brother Friend, how do you save yourself? Do you need it? What preparations should I make?"

"No need." Chen You said, "As long as you know the words, it's fine. You just need to chant the sutras with me later."

"Reciting sutras?" Su Yi frowned, "Just reciting sutras?"

"Why, you look down on chanting?" Chen You glanced at him sideways.

"That's not true." Su Yi shook his head, "I just didn't expect it to be so simple."

"Our ancestors have worked hard and summarized the methods of subduing demons and exterminating demons into scriptures. The unscrupulous younger generations only need to follow the scriptures and they can transcend the sneaky." Chen You said, "For us, nature seems to be very simple. But for those who have no way to rely on and have nothing to do,

For the real ancestors of Lü Ke Xun, it is not simple at all."

Su Yi nodded in agreement: "We all stand on the shoulders of giants."

"Yes, the ancestors wanted to feed things directly into our mouths, so it seems simple." Chen Youdao, "Ah Hao, no matter what sect you are, whether it is Confucianism, Taoism or Buddhism, reciting sutras is the first priority in practice.

Dharma door!”

"For us Taoist disciples, reciting sutras, holding sutras, copying sutras, and enshrining sutras are all for the purpose of forming three predestined relationships. Which three predestined relationships are there? The first is to form a predestined relationship with immortals, which is a part of cultivation; the middle is to form a predestined relationship with human beings, which is not harmful to humanity; and the bottom is to form a predestined relationship with humanity.

It forms a bond with ghosts and brings relief to the underworld. The three conditions are well prepared, it increases good karma, increases blessings, eliminates disasters and prolongs life, and the merits are immeasurable."

"Let's not think about immortality, but it is still possible to form friendship with humans and ghosts." Chen You blew on the peach wood sword, looked at it in front of his eyes, and noticed that there was some asymmetry, so he continued to sharpen it.

"In short, it doesn't matter if a cultivator doesn't know how to make elixirs, draw talismans, or even worship gods and catch ghosts, but he must not recite sutras!"

"Do you know why when you see a shadow ghost or a fierce ghost, you are immediately pulled into the illusion, but I am rarely affected, and even if I am affected, I can break through it immediately?"

"Is it just because of chanting sutras?" Su Yi asked.

"That's right!" Chen You smiled and waved the mahogany sword in his hand and put down the knife, "I often recite Taoist scriptures, and the natural stars shine, and all evils are avoided. The illusory techniques of ghosts and monsters cannot shake the spirit of my nature at all.

.Reciting scriptures regularly can wash away the turbidity of the world of mortals, and can bring wisdom and clarity. In short, it has many benefits."

"How many hours does brother friend recite sutras every day?" Su Yi asked curiously.

Chen You's expression froze and his smile faded a bit.

"Every year, there are still four or five times." Chen You said calmly, "Don't imitate me, I'm lazy."

Su Yi nodded and pushed the barbecued pork bun in front of Chen You: "Eat first, let's chat while eating."

"Okay!" Chen You was not polite, rubbed his hands, picked up a barbecued pork bun and started to eat it.

While the two were eating, they brought the topic back to "transcendence".

"Originally, the steps for salvation are very complicated, because generally the purpose of salvation is to allow the souls of the dead to eliminate their karma and return to the underworld early." Chen You said, "We have to fast seven days in advance and open the Yin and Yang altars three days in advance. We must both worship gods and make sacrifices.

Ghosts must also clean the altar, prepare memorial tablets for the dead, tributes, incense and candles, etc. Everything must not be missing, let alone careless.”

"Then comes the chanting of sutras for salvation. The sutras we chant for salvation are usually the "Tai Shang Cave Xuan Ling Bao Miao Sutra for Saving Suffering and Eradicating Sin", "Yuanshi Tianzun Speaks of Fengdu Sutra for Eradicating Sin" and "Taiyi Sutra for Saving Suffering"

If there are no female souls among the three parts of the "Wonderful Sutra of Diving the Blood Lake in Fengdu," said Tianzun, there is no need to recite the following one."

"The minimum time for chanting is three days, and the maximum time is no more than seven or seventy-nine days. It mainly depends on the karma of the deceased."

"You can't recite sutras all the time, because chanting sutras is like a burning fire cooking oil to the souls of the dead, burning karma and causing unspeakable suffering. Depending on the condition of the souls, you should stop reciting them. When you stop, you should also give food.

Transform into treasures, relieve the pain of the dead, and restore its spirit body..."

"In addition, we also need to send away all kinds of lonely ghosts to prevent them from fighting over each other and even destroying the rituals."

"However, during our salvation this time, all the lonely souls and wild ghosts will not be able to hide in time, and they will definitely not get close to us."

"And we are not that complicated. After the altar is opened later, you and I will just chant sutras and eliminate karma. We don't have to worry about whether the two water ghosts can hold on."

"If they can withstand the backlash of karma, that's of course the best. If we accumulate evil virtues, they will eliminate their karma and go to the underworld, and everyone will be happy. If they can't withstand it... Haha, we will destroy the demons, and they deserve what they deserve."

Su Yi nodded repeatedly and asked, "Brother You, is there anything I should pay attention to when chanting sutras?"

"It's very simple. You do what I do later." Chen You said, "You just need to follow me and recite. I recite one sentence and you recite one sentence. Don't be distracted, and don't add or subtract words. If you can't follow,

If you didn’t hear it or can’t remember it, just skip this sentence.”

"I asked you to chant sutras with me. Firstly, you also have a share in this merit; secondly, the spiritual power and karma in this magic circle are the strongest. You should be more sensitive in advance, which will help you make spells and set up the magic circle in the future.

benefit."

Su Yi understood. This was a master leading a novice. He only had to do a good job. There was nothing to pay attention to and no tasks.

"Before I become a disciple, I have to ask you, Ahao, if you know the origin of our Maoshan sect?" Chen You asked.

Su Yi nodded: "I know a little bit, but I'm afraid there are some fallacies. Brother You will bear with me if I say something wrong."
