After saying that, the master carried the peach wood sword and walked straight into the back garden of Tong's house, and I followed closely.
As I was walking, I suddenly saw the old man running very fast, and I started running too.
I saw the master moving left and right for a while, and taking a step back from time to time. This action was a bit like performing a yangko dance. Even so, he still kept me far behind.
"Qiao Yang, hurry up and follow."
Master shouted to me, and his figure quickly got into the garden and ducked behind a big tree.
I chased after him, but I didn't see Master's shadow.
"Master, where are you!"
I followed behind the big tree and saw that there wasn't even a ghost. I couldn't help but feel surprised.
Strange, why did Master turn around and disappear? Could it be that the person I saw just now was not Master, but a ghost?
I immediately picked up the Dow Jones, ready to respond to any sudden changes.
At this moment, I heard a slight cough from behind me, and then someone shouted to me.
"Qiao Yang!"
"Hey!" I responded.
When I looked back, I couldn't see anything.
I couldn't help but feel nervous. It seemed that I was really tricked by a ghost tonight.
"Master, was it you who called me just now?" I shouted to Master.
There was no response, so I tiptoed toward the grass ahead.
Suddenly, a black cat emerged from the grass and jumped towards me.
I dodged my body and immediately dodged the black cat.
It shocked me. I cheered up and continued walking forward.
As I was walking, I suddenly felt a strong hand fall on my shoulder.
"Qiao Yang, I'm here."
I turned around and saw a big painted face singing in front of me.
I couldn't help but tremble in my heart. I immediately took out a mahogany dagger from the French bag and stabbed the big painted face in front of me with the knife.
The big-faced man stepped aside and quickly dodged my attack. He grabbed my wrist with a pull and wanted to give me a break.
I immediately retracted my hand, took out a Five Thunder Talisman from my Fabric bag, and quickly activated the Talisman Fire in my hand with my mind.
With a "hoo" sound, the talisman spontaneously ignited.
Seeing this, the big painted face was so frightened that he took a small step back.
"Monster! Die!" I thrust the talisman fire in my hand towards the big painted face in front of me.
"Crack!"
One hand forcefully slapped my hand away. Then, the man with the big painted face stepped forward, grabbed my hand with the other hand, and quickly used his sleeve to "slap" the talisman in my hand.
Fanned.
"Okay, stop fighting. It's me!"
The big painted face reached out to his ear and pulled off a mask, revealing his true face.
"Master, why is it you?" I asked in surprise.
The master looked at me and rolled his eyes at me angrily, "Boy, I almost got you burned with the talisman fire. If it hadn't been for the master's care, I'm afraid he would have been lying on the ground by now. He failed the test this time. Look.
Come on, you need to strengthen your training."
"Master, you just wanted to test me!"
I asked the master.
"Of course, otherwise after studying Taoism with me for so long, Master must know a little bit about you! Besides, I want to see your learning progress! Otherwise, when Master asks, I will have to tell you.
Become a Chou Yin Mao!"
"That's right!" I smiled, scratched the back of my head with my hand, and asked Master, "Master, tell me, what does it take to be qualified as a Maoshan disciple?"
Master glanced at me, and then his eyes fell on my face, and said with a smile: "Actually, your performance tonight is generally pretty good. From a technical perspective, you are already a qualified servant.
I am a disciple of Maoshan."
When the master came here, he deliberately grabbed my hand and looked at it carefully, and asked with concern: "The talisman fire just now didn't hurt you, did it?"
I intentionally moved my knuckles, smiled and said to Master, "No! Look, isn't this good?"
The master nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's not bad. You can activate the talisman fire with your thoughts, which is really beyond the master's surprise."
"Master, what else is there?" I asked Master with a smile.
When the master saw that I was smiling proudly, his face immediately darkened, and he said seriously: "Although the technique is good, in actual operation, it is too poor. For example, I called you suddenly just now, you should not rush to answer me.
.Do you know what’s going on?”
"I understand. What you mean is that I should hold my breath and slowly turn around to answer your shout, right?" I said.
"That's right! There are three fires on the human body, one on the top of the head and two on the shoulders. This is what we usually say about burning up the three fires. These three fires control a person's Yang Qi.
"
The master paused and continued: "When you turn around to answer the question, the breath coming out of your mouth will blow out the flame on your shoulder. Death is like a lamp extinguishing. Once the flame on your shoulder is extinguished, the Yang Qi in your body will be extinguished."
It will drop rapidly. If a fierce ghost pops out, you are 90% sure to deal with it. If one of the three fires is extinguished, the chance of winning will immediately drop to 60%. If you extinguish another fire, the chance of winning will be only 60%.
It’s three levels. If all three fires are extinguished, you will definitely die.”
"Master, actually I was impatient at that time, and I answered so hastily when I heard your voice. Under normal circumstances, I would definitely not have turned around and answered in such a hurry." I defended to Master.
"You brat! If you're wrong, you're wrong. There's no need to explain." Master tightened his hand and hit my head with a popcorn, which made my head burn with pain.
"Listen to me. As a disciple of Maoshan, there is nothing normal or abnormal. Because when you see ghosts, most of the situations must be abnormal. Under normal circumstances, who has nothing to eat and go to see ghosts! So,
The explanation you just gave is completely feeble. Remember, as long as it is night, no matter who calls you, don't turn your head when you answer. Turn your head without answering, and don't turn your head when you answer."
Master told me with a serious face: "Here! From today on, you will train yourself to develop good answering habits. When someone calls you, answer directly, no matter whether the other person is in front or behind. After answering, turn back.
.If it’s an unfamiliar voice, keep silent, especially in the wild. Okay, let’s train now. You turn around first.”
"Okay!" I turned around.
Master immediately called me.
"Qiao Yang!"
"Eh!"
I answered without looking back, and then slowly turned my head back.
"Okay! Let's continue."
"Qiao Yang!"
"Eh!"
"Qiao Yang"
"Eh!"......
Master trained me over and over again like this hundreds of times. I was really impatient, so I replied angrily to Master: "Master, do you find it interesting that you keep practicing like this over and over again?"
"have!"
Master turned around and warned me seriously: "Boy, listen carefully. The more basic things are, the more important they are. Master clearly tells you that many experienced Taoist priests have practiced Taoism throughout their lives, but in the end they died of evil spirits.
In the hands of others, it is not that their skills are not good, but some bad habits that kill them. Once people are numb, it is easy to underestimate the enemy. Once you underestimate the enemy, you are not far away from death. Don't underestimate the inconspicuous movements, for a Maoshan
Disciple, every detail is important."
Master said, raising his hand to me, "See, clasping your fingers is a trivial action!"
"Yeah!" I nodded and replied.
"But it was such a simple action that allowed Master to successfully survive in the Cave of Injustice in Western Hunan, and finally obtain the precious medicinal material 'Xia Chong' that can be refined into 'Golden Silkworm Gu'."
A trace of pride flashed across Master's face, and he continued: "I think there were eight masters who entered the Cave of Injustices with us, and none of them were inferior to Master. Among these masters, there were Jiantou Masters, and some
The powerful Master Meishan, a local Gu woman who is proficient in poisoning, and two Taoist priests of the same sect, but without exception, after they left, the master survived with Po Chen. Do you know why?"
Master asked me proudly.
At a glance, I knew that this trip between Master and Grandma Chen was a pleasant one, and the harvest was definitely not small. Maybe there was a little story with Grandma Chen! Thinking of this, I felt like snickering in my heart.
"Why, is it because men and women are paired together so they don't feel tired when working! You and Chen Bo hold hands all the time, so that the yin and yang can complement each other and constantly breed yang energy, so you become more energetic as you go, but they are not so good at sex.
Right!"
I deliberately joked to Master.
"Fart!" Master rolled his eyes at me angrily.
"Listen up. Master's magic weapon to win is that your master's and I's fingers are locked the whole time. This action can prevent people from losing their true energy while walking. Really
Once Qi is lost, a person's Yang Qi will also be lost. Although the loss is very small, it will consume huge amounts in the long run."
"Nine of us were trapped in the Cave of Injustice for nine days and nine nights. The last few masters were killed by the zombies, wandering souls and poisonous poisons inside. But your uncle and I survived.
Because the zhenqi and yang qi in our bodies are strong, we naturally have more opportunities to resist. At first, a few of them had the upper hand, but on the seventh day, they could only watch your master and I perform."
As he spoke, Master made a clasping finger gesture toward me and said with a smile, "That's it. Get it right! Memorize it by heart and it will benefit you for the rest of your life."
"Well! Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
I am convinced by what Master said. His qualifications are actually far worse than mine, but with his current level of conduct, I am afraid it would be difficult to find one among millions of people.
It is a rigorous attitude and a hard-working spirit.
Seeing that I had no excuse this time, Master nodded with satisfaction and said, "Only when you can face your own shortcomings can you make progress. In fact, Master is also doing it for your own good. By the way, there is another detail that Master almost forgot to tell you just now. That is
, when Master is wearing a mask, you should be able to recognize him easily."
When Master mentioned this, I felt a little angry. I don’t know how many times I have been deceived by ghosts. I know that his old man will definitely say that I can see the shadow behind him. But damn, what if?
Is it a demon? Looking at the shadow doesn’t work at all!
"Master, do you want to tell me that by looking at the shadow behind you, I should know that you are a human and not a ghost?" I said.
"Yes! You know, why haven't you recognized it?" Master asked with his mouth wide open.
"What if you are a monster?" I raised my face and asked the master. I wanted to hear what clever plan he had.
"If it's a monster, Master won't be able to recognize it. Although I have opened my clairvoyance, I haven't reached the level of seeing the monster's aura at a glance. I can only see the evil aura and ghostly aura. There's really no way around it." Master replied.
"Oh! I didn't expect that Master can't do anything. Alas! It seems that there is still a long way to practice!" I sighed, feeling a little disappointed.
Seeing my disappointed look, Master smiled and comforted me: "How about you, like Xiaoru, raise a ghost boy? A powerful little ghost can recognize monsters. Xiaoru will be back in a few days, so you can have a good time with him.
Communicate with her. By the way, let him practice more basic skills with you."
