0535 The sixteenth day of the first lunar month
Xu Xiaojie faced Tang Ding and took the initiative to let him go, but he hesitated again.
The person in front of him, who is not a few years older than himself, seems to be surprisingly powerful. And his eyes seem to see through everything.
Xu Xiaojie didn't know if he was afraid of his boasting, but it seemed that he was not afraid at all.
Although Xu Xiaojie felt Tang Ding's horror in his heart, especially the chill that went straight to his brain just now, Xu Xiaojie intuitively felt that this was the ghost of the person in front of him.
In addition to his awesomeness, Xu Xiaojie feels that Tang Ding is still a good person, although he is already a little afraid of him, but the more he is afraid, can it also prove that he has the ability to defend himself?
Xu Xiaojie has really had enough of the life of the quicksand.
For more than a year after defecting from the thief door, Xu Xiaojie not only had to make a living, but also evaded the pursuit of the thief door.
What Xu Xiaojie said just now is not very accurate, although the thief door is also a Taoist sect, but it was not stealing for a living before. Even if you steal, you steal spiritual things.
The former Thief Sect was also a well-known sect of cultivating immortals, but it was just the last stream. Of course, that's all in the past.
However, even the once low-end immortal cultivation sect has the ability to pinch a small shrimp like Xu Xiaojie to death.
But now the Thief Sect has completely degenerated into a sect that makes a living by stealing, or the Thief Sect is not a sect at all, but a gang.
Of course, Xu Xiaojie's desire to be stable is not his main purpose, his main purpose is to learn skills, and then go to the thief door to rescue his childhood sweetheart, the lover who has been in love for a long time.
And to learn the skill, you must first find a master.
"I think, or I" Xu Xiaojie Nuo didn't say anything about apprenticeship for a long time.
Also, the two of them were still-for-tat just now, how could Xu Xiaojie be embarrassed to apprentice with others. Of course, even if he is embarrassed to worship, people may not accept him.
Tang Ding looked at Xu Xiaojie with a smile and didn't speak.
In fact, when Tang Ding looked at Xu Xiaojie for the first time, he felt that this person seemed to have some fate with him.
This fate does not refer to the fate of men and women, this fate is more like the fate of Buddhist cause and effect.
Meeting is fate, grudges are also fate, saving people is fate, and being saved is also fate.
When Xu Xiaojie didn't leave, Tang Ding had already determined that he would help Xu Xiaojie survive the catastrophe of life and death.
Saving people is also helping Tang Ding accumulate good karma for himself. His parents have been missing for many years, and his girlfriend is nowhere to be found, so Tang Ding needs to accumulate his good karma.
Although Xu Xiaojie is a little cunning, his face is still upright on the whole. Sometimes cunning is also a means of making a living.
Although Tang Ding's physiognomy is not as good as his father Tang Zhendong, Tang Ding will not be wrong to see people.
Of course, the most important thing is that Tang Ding moved the heart of the apprentice. Tang Ding still remembers the excitement of his master Xu Zhuo when he met him, and he also remembers the sadness when the master talked about his father.
Tang Ding didn't understand it before, but now he understands, master, what he is sad about is of course his father's persistence, but it is not the grief that the Guigu Gate is about to be cut off.
And the joy of the master, isn't it the excitement after seeing the ghost valley?
Although Tang Ding's skills are not worth mentioning, this inheritance is to be passed down from generation to generation.
"I want to confess to you that I lied to you just now. In the end, Xu Xiaojie opened his mouth first, but Tang Ding didn't ask him, and Xu Xiaojie didn't wait for Tang Ding to ask, and said to himself, "Actually, I'm not a thief anymore, I have a grudge against the thief." ”
"What's your name?" asked Don Ding suddenly.
"Xu Xiaojie. Xu Xiaojie did not hesitate.
"How old is this year?"
"Nineteen. ”
"How many of you Divine Thief Sect have cultivated the art of Qi Seeking?"
"Just two people, one me, and the other, hey, how do you know the art of looking at qi?" Xu Xiaojie looked at Tang Ding with a calm and indifferent expression in surprise.
Just now, Xu Xiaojie was completely sure that he hadn't told Tang Ding about the technique of looking at qi at all, because the technique of looking at qi was not only a secret technique of stealing the door, but also the housekeeping skill that Xu Xiaojie relied on the most to survive.
"Apart from you, who else has cultivated?"
Xu Xiaojie nodded, "Yes, only the two of us have cultivated." This Qi Hope Technique Thief Sect has a unique cultivation method, but it is not easy to practice, of course, I don't feel that difficult. Our Divine Thief Sect is a sect that respects women, and if there are good exercises, they will let the female disciples practice first, but after they practice, no one can cultivate the Wangqi Technique, so the sect master proposed to let the male disciples try it too, and that's how I practiced. ”
"And how did you join the Thief Gate?"
"I'm an orphan, I've been in the thief door since I can remember, but at that time I was a miscellaneous worker, of course, I would learn some stealing skills in the interval, until the sect master asked us to practice the Qi Hope Technique, and others were at a loss for the Qi Hope Technique, but it was not difficult for me to say it, and I got started in a month. ”
"Tell me how you cultivated the Qi Hope Technique, right?"
"The art of looking at qi is actually very simple, in fact, it is just two words: abstract. It is to abstract all things in heaven and earth from their original appearance, and then simplify the complexity, and the ontological qi of all things will naturally come out. However, I am not proficient in the Qi Hope Technique, and I can only see the Qi of the Heavenly and Earth Treasures, just like that spiritual ginseng. To be honest, from the time I cultivated the Qi Hope Technique to the present, I have only seen two treasures with qi, one of which is this spirit ginseng. ”
"And another?"
"The other is the golden wire entwined wrist of our sect master, which is the token of our sect master. ”
However, Xu Xiaojie's words helped Tang Ding answer a question, that is, Xu Xiaojie did not see the aura of the Jiaolong Neidan that he carried with him.
In fact, Tang Ding also deliberately took out Neidan and put it in his jacket pocket, just to attract Xu Xiaojie's attention, afraid that he wouldn't see it because of negligence, but now Tang Ding is sure that Xu Xiaojie really can't see Jiaolong Neidan's aura.
There is only one possibility: Xu Xiaojie's aura kung fu can only see treasures with strong aura, like Jiaolong Neidan's aura is weaker than that of spiritual ginseng, so Xu Xiaojie can't see it.
Despite this, Xu Xiaojie's ability to stand out from so many peers is enough to prove his qualifications.
"By the way, our sect master's aura technique doesn't seem to be much stronger than mine. Xu Xiaojie added.
"What kind of enmity do you have with the Thief Gate?
"Actually, it's very simple, I was a childhood sweetheart with Cuiping, and at the same time I was learning art in the Thief Door, and we had a lifelong relationship, but we were found by the sect master and broke us up, and I don't know where Cuiping is now. In a fit of rage, I defected from the Thief Gate. ”
"Where's the thief's door?"
"I don't know where it is, but I came out of a big mountain in Sichuan at the time, and then I wanted to remember my way out of the sect, but I found that I couldn't think of anything. ”
"Okay, if you have any questions, you can ask me? ”
Xu Xiaojie thought for a moment and asked, "How did you know about the Qi Technique?"
"You can look at qi, and I can not only look at qi, but also read minds. ”
"How did you find me? I saw you asleep. ”
"I wasn't actually asleep, but even if I did, I knew where it was. Tang Ding looked at Xu Xiaojie, "There is one last question." ”
"I want to worship you as a teacher, okay?"
Tang Ding already had the idea of accepting Xu Xiaojie as an apprentice, and seeing that he took the initiative to say it at this moment, Tang Ding also agreed, but he still made a few decent requests, nothing more than respecting the teacher or something, Xu Xiaojie agreed to it all.
Of course, Tang Ding didn't directly agree to him, but just said that he would inspect and investigate.
The next day was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xu Xiaojie originally sat in a hard seat, and the distance between the two was too far, so he simply made up a sleeper ticket, which was in the carriage next to Tang Ding.
Suddenly there was an apprentice, but Tang Ding didn't know what to teach him first?
Xu Xiaojie is perceptive and very smart, Tang Ding plans to follow his own ideas of learning the Tao in Taoism after the inspection period, first learn the Tao, and then learn physiognomy, as for anything else, let's wait and see.
However, what Xu Xiaojie worries Tang Ding the most is that his upcoming life and death catastrophe, if Tang Ding sees it well, the effect of a month should come.
If Tang Ding can't help him solve this crisis, Tang Ding still has a magic pendant at home that is pregnant and raised on the dragon's lair, and he will give one to Xu Xiaojie when the time comes, so that he can turn evil into good fortune.
Of course, although the magic weapon pendant can save lives, it is not omnipotent, if the disaster is too great, even if there is a magic weapon to protect it, it should not be able to live or not live.
Tang Ding and Xu Xiaojie arrived at Yancheng Railway Station in the early morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and then the two took a taxi back to the courtyard, the size of which surprised Xu Xiaojie.
Xu Xiaojie has seen some of the world when he goes south and north, but when he sees the size of this courtyard, he can't help but be surprised.
But it was too late today, and Xu Xiaojie didn't have time to be surprised, so Tang Ding arranged to rest in the room.
Tang Ding didn't sleep, he first went to the dragon's lair and took out two magic weapons, preparing to keep one for himself and give one to Xu Xiaojie.
But as soon as Tang Ding sealed the dragon's lair array, he heard a sound of squirming footsteps, "Is Tang Ding back?"
This is the voice of her mother, Ding Caixia.
"Yes, Mom, I'm back, but I didn't expect to hurry up, but I came back late. ”
"You kid, Mom understands you. Ding Caixia received a call from Tang Ding and kept looking forward to his return. Although it is said that the sixteenth day of the first lunar month arrives, mothers will never start looking forward to sixteen to sixteen, they will always start looking forward to it several days in advance.
Ding Caixia also vaguely guessed Tang Ding's thoughts, but she didn't say it.
"Are you okay over there in Kyoto?" Ding Caixia saw that her son was back, and she couldn't sleep, so she pulled her son and kept talking.
Ding Caixia is going to save a Spring Festival, and tell Tang Ding who let Tang Ding not spend the Spring Festival at home.
