Outside the window is the most wonderful scenery of Ningcheng, and the suite is filled with endless luxury.
But the master and apprentice, an old man and a young man, sat in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window and began to play childish backgammon.
Butler Qin on the side silently poured tea for the two of them and walked away.
After ten minutes of playing a game of chess, the chessboard was almost filled up and there was still no winner.
In the end it could only end in a draw.
"Well, it's good to be able to play backgammon to this level." Qin Yuanshan took a sip of tea with satisfaction, and then took out an exquisite wooden box from the desk.
"This is the apprenticeship gift I gave you. Open it and see if you like it."
Chi Zao was slightly stunned.
When you take it and open the box, you will see a jade pendant carved with dragons and phoenixes.
This jade pendant is moist and white, as warm and delicate as gelatin.
Chi Zao didn't know much about jade, antiques and the like, but she had seen a lot of good ones, and she could tell at a glance that this jade was of the highest quality.
What's even more surprising is that as soon as you hold this jade pendant, a warmth penetrates from your palms into your body and flows to your limbs and bones.
There was still some chill in late March in early spring, but it was all driven away by this warmth.
Although Chi Zao also saw it from the system and even got some good things.
For example, a jade bracelet worn on the wrist or hidden in one's sleeve.
But it is a system product, and it is not simple.
But this jade pendant is no worse than anything in the system.
"This is a magical weapon carved from the finest mutton-fat white jade. During the carving process, the master integrated the formation into it, and it was raised in the Lingji realm for a full seven, seven and forty-nine days to make it. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and can ward off evil spirits and ward off evil spirits.
It has the effect of harming people. You can strengthen your health by taking it with you."
When he said this, Chi Zao clearly felt Qin Yuanshan's pride.
She was a little surprised, "Is this made by Master?"
Qin Yuanshan smiled and nodded, "How's it going? Do you like it?"
He was not exaggerating. This jade pendant was originally a magic weapon he carried with him, and it was considered something close to him.
I really put a lot of thought into making this magical instrument by myself.
But given his temperament, he would never bother to say these words and it would be impossible for him to say them.
I will tell Chi Zao today because I am selfish and want Chi Zao to experience the mystery of metaphysics.
In the past, people were prepared to accept apprentices, so they would prepare the apprenticeship ceremony in advance.
But this time...
Before meeting Chi Zao, everything was unknown. Qin Yuanshan was not sure whether he could receive this apprentice.
After meeting Chi Zao, things became even more unknown.
The apprentice did not want to become a disciple and refused firmly.
He was not prepared, but he felt that this magical weapon was the most suitable for Chi Zai.
Qin Yuanshan did not say that if she encounters danger or disaster in the future, this jade pendant can also protect her from disaster.
It's really unlucky to say this just after I've just learned the art from my master.
"I like it. Thank you, Master." Chi Zao lowered his eyes slightly and said sincerely.
"Haha, just like it." Qin Yuanshan smiled happily and asked her to put on the jade ring.
Then he took out a few very thick books from the desk.
The clock says nine o'clock.
Chi Zao started his first class of metaphysics.
"There are five skills in metaphysics: Mountain medicine and fortune telling."
"Mountain means immortal science, including cultivating scriptures, refining elixirs, and spells. It also means cultivating one's body, breathing in and out, nourishing one's energy, and cultivating internal strength."
"Medicine refers to traditional medicine, which relies on the study of meridians, guidance, techniques, and prescriptions for treatment."
"Fate, that is, numerology, relies on words, stars, and divine numbers to deduce destiny. It is also popularly known as fortune telling. Most of the swindlers and liars outside now only know this numerology, or they don't understand it at all, or they just talk nonsense.
You may know a little about the language and use it to deceive."
"Bu, as the name suggests, means divination. Taiyi, Qimen, and Ren are used for divination. Meiyi, Yao is used for divination, fortune telling, dream divination, and drawing lots are used for divination. Throwing money is used for divination. Most of these are
Used to predict good or bad luck."
"Xiang means physiognomy. It is a great science in the world. It is divided into heaven physiognomy, earth physiognomy and human physiognomy.
The sound is equal."
Qin Yuanshan's voice was old and deep, but slow and clear.
It's hard to lose focus while listening to him.
Chi Zao listened carefully.
She is actually very interested in metaphysics, especially since she still has a sinister identity and often needs the help of metaphysics. Just like that day, Chen Baiwan thought that she could exorcise evil spirits from Guo Chengming's house and change his luck.
Most people feel that the two are one.
But in fact, Chi Zao only interacted with ghosts and monsters. He knew nothing about metaphysics.
She had not planned to become a teacher before, so she said she was not interested in these things.
Now that she has decided to become a disciple, of course she no longer hides her curiosity and interest.
She knows better than anyone how much she will gain from studying with Qin Yuanshan.
"You may not understand what my teacher is saying now, but it doesn't matter. The future is long, and you have to learn these slowly day by day. As long as you know, the lineage of metaphysics is broad and profound. From ancient times to the present, no one dares to say how good he is.
Be proficient in metaphysics. Metaphysics disciples should continue to study it all the time. The five arts I just mentioned are just a general theory of metaphysics. As long as you know that you can achieve success by learning these five arts, you can also be considered a master."
"However, despite what I said, it is still difficult to learn. Just like your four senior brothers, they all know something, but they are not proficient. Most people want to be proficient in five subjects.
Not easy."
Chi Zao, who was listening to the five metaphysical arts gradually relaxing, arrived here and couldn't help but ask, "What about you, Master?"
"Me?" The calm and steady Qin Yuanshan's expression did not change, but she still felt the old man's arrogance from his tone, "Although I am not a genius, I am pretty good at metaphysics. Your master is also mine.
Master, there were five apprentices back then, but your master only praised me for my extraordinary talent."
It must be said that Qin Yuanshan is proud of himself.
His strength cannot be underestimated.
Looking at the entire country Z, there is no more powerful master of metaphysics than him.
If it were normal times, Qin Yuanshan would never praise himself so much.
But in front of Chi Zao...
Qin Yuanshan felt that his little apprentice's thoughts were different from those of ordinary girls. If he didn't show some ability in front of his little apprentice, it was really hard to say whether the apprentice would be able to accept her.
Therefore, the old man, who was unfathomable to outsiders and rarely showed his emotions, seemed real to Chi Zao.
Chi Zao could probably guess a little bit of his thoughts, and he wanted to laugh a little, but he still praised from the bottom of his heart, "Master is amazing."
Qin Yuanshan was quite satisfied with being praised by his young apprentice.
After taking a sip of tea, he continued:
"The five arts of metaphysics, each one is infinitely mysterious. It can save people, but it can also kill people."
