Chapter 5 Going out for training

At noon, my grandfather came to my room with a wad of money.

"Sword officer, you have grown up, and you have learned a lot of techniques to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits in the past few months, but this is just the surface, if you want to become a real Taoist master, you have to go out and travel, and experience is also the way that every warlock must go. You have this money, although it is not much, but it is grandpa's savings for many years. ”

Grandpa glanced at me with some reluctance between words, and then glanced at the scattered banknotes in his hand, probably because although there were many banknotes, the denomination was small, and Grandpa looked a little embarrassed.

"Traveling, but grandpa, you're old, I still have to stay by my side to take care of you!"

When I said that, I felt like I wanted to laugh.

"Which of us takes care of whom?"

Grandpa gave me a disdainful look, and I stuck out my tongue, laughed mischievously, and continued to ask. "When are you going to let me go?"

"Leave immediately, every inch of time is gold, you wasted too much time before, and now you have to hurry up, you can't always stay by your grandfather's side. ”

"I'm in a hurry, isn't it?"

"This is not for you. Grandpa dropped the money on the table, turned and walked out of the room.

I know that no one can stop grandpa's temper, I did waste too much time before, but it didn't make me leave immediately, I didn't have any psychological preparation at all, but how could I disobey grandpa's intentions.

Half an hour later, I arrived at the hall with my denim bag on my back, and my grandfather was sitting cross-legged in front of the portrait of my grandfather with his eyes closed.

"Grandpa, I'm gone, you old man pay more attention to your body. ”

At this time, I was both excited and reluctant, excited because I could finally go out into the outside world to see. I am reluctant because I am about to leave my grandfather who brought me up.

Grandpa opened his eyes slightly, and said to me with a kind face: "Dao Officer, travel is of great help to your future, we rely on skills to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits, and you rely on magic weapons to exorcise ghosts now, how long can the dogmatism recorded in the books last? You must practice hard, I don't expect you to have the attainments of the three people who have attained the Great Dao in the world like the evil spirit, Pochen, and Nangong Xiangyue, but I really hope that you will think about your own mistakes behind closed doors, sincerely repent of the past, and be worthy of walking between heaven and earth!"

Evil spirits? Breaking the dust? Nangong Xiangyue? When the world has attained the Great Dao, I hope I will sincerely repent of the past? What happened to my grandfather today? Grandpa's words gave me too much information, so much that it was difficult for me to accept it for a while, is there anyone with higher attainments than grandpa on the road of exorcising ghosts and warding off evil spirits? I stared at my grandfather with an inexplicable look, not knowing how to continue talking.

"Sword officer, you understand what grandpa means, why pretend to be confused, grandpa just hopes that you will do everything for yourself, and we will see you on the road of training in the future. ”

Grandpa's tone was unusually slow at the moment, but it had a different meaning, but what he said made me a little confused. But I know that the reason why my grandfather is in a hurry to drive me away must be because he knows the remnant soul power in my body! Because I can basically be sure that the appearance of the remnant soul power is destined to have a big event, but I don't know what the big thing is at the moment.

"Child, you have grown up, and I don't know if I should tell you something?" Grandpa continued to add to me with some concern.

"What's the matter?"

At the moment, I was curious, and from my grandfather's hesitant appearance, I could guess that what he was going to tell me next must not be simple.

"It's about your parents. "Grandpa looked at me with a rogue on his face.

"My parents, what do you know about my parents?"

I looked at my grandfather with some excitement, because I had never seen my parents since I was a child, but he told me early on that they were both dead.

"Grandpa, say it quickly. ”

I couldn't wait to look at my contemplative grandfather, he wanted to speak and stopped, it was very appetizing.

"Well, grandpa will tell you everything today. Grandpa turned and walked to his bedroom.

I followed my grandfather to his bedroom, where he took out a package from an old box and handed it to me.

"This package was left by your parents before their deaths, and they are also the inheritors of our Yang family's Taoism, who were killed when they were catching ghosts in Tianyang Dragon Mountain twenty years ago! On this trip, you can find clues according to the contents of this package, and you can avenge your parents, they have been to Pingle Temple in Fangba Town before their deaths, you can go there to investigate, but you must remember that you can't force everything!"

A hint of strangeness flashed in Grandpa's eyes at this time, and this strange look was the first time in my life that I had read it from Grandpa's eyes.

I only knew that my parents had died a long time ago, but today my grandfather said that they were killed by the demon way?

I frowned angrily and said to myself, "The hatred of killing my father is not shared. ”

With that, I quickly opened the package that my grandfather handed me. Inside, there was an ancient jade bracelet and a few fragments of a book, a paintbrush for drawing spells, and a few pieces of clothing. I hugged the package that my grandfather handed me tightly into my arms, and vowed to find the demon path that harmed my parents and kill them, because it was the demon way that harmed me since I was a child, and it was also the demon way that caused me to be bullied since I was a child.

I put my parents' relics in my denim bag, bowed deeply to my grandfather, and then turned and set out on my journey. I meditated in my heart, I have always grown up under the protection of my grandfather, and I have never heard my grandfather say anything about my parents, it turns out that my parents were killed by adulterers, and my heart is extremely complicated at this moment.

After about an hour's walk on the mountain road, I came to town. There were also many people rushing to the market at this time, with some fashionably dressed villagers and dirty farmers walking up and down the streets. The vendors on the side of the street, shouting at the pedestrians in their throats, and the lively scene in Songbai Town also gave some comfort to my heavy heart. I walked aimlessly along the only street in town, and when I passed a coffin shop, I stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then walked into the coffin shop.

"Boss, how much do you have this dress?" I asked the boss who was pasting paper.

"Ten dollars a set. ”

The owner of the coffin shop was busy pasting paper, and he didn't stop his work even when the business came, and he didn't look back to communicate with me.

After bargaining, he finally sold a set of paper clothes in the blue eight-grade official uniform of the Qing Dynasty at a price of eight yuan. I prepared this dress for Zuo Yingqiu, because every time he appeared, I felt the urge to beat him. Hey, good people do it to the end, and you have to get along with them for a long time in the future, and a piece of paper clothes is nothing.

After leaving the coffin shop, I came to an inn, and I had to find a place to stay. The inn is a small, shabby-looking three-storey building with a lightbox with the word "accommodation" written on it at the door. The hotel bar is located on the first floor, and a bloated middle-aged woman is constantly swinging the claw antenna on the black and white TV, but the snow spots and the screeching sound of electricity still do not mean to improve.

"How much is the eldest sister's accommodation?" I patted the wooden table on the bar and spoke.

"Thirty for the better, twenty for the second. ”

The woman's tone of reply was quick, and it seemed that many people had asked the same question over the years.

"How much is the cheapest?" I asked, embarrassed by the woman's back.

The woman frowned and looked back at me, let go of the horn antenna in her hand, and the original flashing picture on the TV instantly turned into dazzling snowflake spots, and the TV squeaked again.

The woman walked up to the bar and looked at me, then said, "The cheapest one is twenty, if you want to order it early, otherwise it won't be there later." ”

There was a hint of impatience in the woman's disdainful eyes, perhaps because I was disturbing her to adjust the TV program, but her expression looked bad anyway.

"Eldest sister, you see that I am from Regeneration Village, can I be less of a fellow villager?"

I touched my pocket, and there was no doubt that I was looking poor and miserable.

"Yes, yes, it depends on whether you dare to live. A strange light flashed in the woman's eyes as she spoke.

"It's okay, I dare to live in any room. I spoke to the woman in front of me in an accentuated tone, for I read in her eyes the fear of demons, which is why my tone was so firm.

"Don't blame me for not telling you, a female tenant committed suicide by cutting her wrists in room 309 on the third floor two years ago, and since then, there have often been women's cries in room 309, do you dare to live there?"

There was a hint of fear on the woman's mysterious face, and even when she told me about the suicide in room 309, she deliberately lowered the decibel level of her voice, and it seemed that she was telling the truth.

"Why don't you dare, I'm born with a fat heart. I told the woman in front of me with a hippie smile.

The woman opened the drawer, took the key to the door of room 309 from a large bunch of keys, and threw it to me.

"Free stay!" she said in a much louder tone.

Without fear, I took the key to the house and walked up to room 309. When I took the key and turned to walk up the stairs, the woman poked her head out and looked at me with a panicked expression, presumably she was worried about me.

After opening the door of room 309, a pungent musty smell greeted me. In the middle of room 309 is a large yellowed double bed, with an old-fashioned bedside table on each side of the bed, and the drawer of the bedside table by the window has been pulled open, as if it might fall to the ground at any moment. Next to the door, there is a thermos bottle, and the floor is covered with a thick layer of ash, it is not difficult to see that no one has lived here for a long time, and the whole room gives people a deep and terrifying feeling.

After entering the door, I took off the denim bag on my back, shook the dust off the bed, and lay down on the bed, posing in a big letter, and fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long I slept, but I let out a gurgling sound in my stomach before I realized that I was in a hurry. I took out the clothes I had prepared for Zuo Yingqiu during the day, packed them in a plastic bag, and then went downstairs, found a place where no one was, and released Zuo Yingqiu and his wife, who were living on my left arm.

"Yo, why didn't you transform into that big ass this time?"

I was ridiculing Zuo Yingqiu and his wife, but it wasn't actually a joke, because I wanted to get closer to them in this way, after all, on the way away from home in the future, the help of his wife and his wife was indispensable.

Xu Siqing pursed her lips, lowered her head and smiled lightly, full of fairy spirit! If she is not an unjust soul, she must be the stunning woman pursued by beautiful men in this world.

The young master laughed. Zuo Yingqiu listened to my ridicule and spoke.

Zuo Yingqiu's face still doesn't have any expression, giving people a cool feeling, but under his cool expression, there is still a three-point ghost color, compared to Xu Siqing, Xu Siqing seems much more approachable.

"Don't you keep a straight face, can't you smile?" I looked at Zuo Yingqiu angrily.

After Zuo Yingqiu listened to my words, the scoundrel showed a mouthful of bloody fangs, and reluctantly squeezed out a deep smile, his smile made people look weird and terrifying.

"Stop, don't laugh, your smile is more terrifying than your face. I waved at Zuo Yingqiu and shouted.

After speaking, I took out the paper clothes I bought at the coffin shop during the day, shook it in front of Zuo Yingqiu, and said, "This is for you, and I don't know if it fits or not." I stuck out my tongue and looked ill-willed.

Zuo Yingqiu glanced at the paper clothes, and said lazily: "The young master said that if it fits, it will fit, and if it looks good, it will look good." ”

I glared at Zuo Yingqiu without making a sound, and quickly lit the paper clothes, which instantly ignited a raging fire, and in a moment the paper clothes turned into ashes and wore them on Zuo Yingqiu's body.

"Hahaha, slave and maid see the eldest master. ”

Xu Siqing, who was on the side, watched Zuo Yingqiu in official clothes smile and came back to life, and floated around Zuo Yingqiu several times.

Ghosts are still ghosts after all, although Xu Siqing gave me a feeling of approachability, but at this moment, her laughter made people's vests chill, and my hairs stood on end.

Zuo Yingqiu, who had a serious face, looked a little funny when he wore this official uniform.

"Since the little master wears an official uniform for me, and he doesn't make a bigger official, what kind of bird official is Bapin. Zuo Yingqiu, who was expressionless, looked at the quail patch on his chest and complained.

"I said Yingqiu, as long as you like it, I'll burn you a dragon robe tomorrow. ”

Xu Siqing looked at the funny Zuo Yingqiu and still kept laughing, I really hope she doesn't laugh at this moment, because her ghost laughter is really harsh and terrifying.

After ridiculing Zuo Yingqiu, I told him about the trip and the two ghosts of his wife, and the two ghosts also expressed their willingness to accompany me to practice. However, every six months, they need to go to the place of the Yin to collect Yin Qi, and at that time, their bodies are weak, and the ghost energy dissipates and is invincible to the evil ghosts, and they need my escort, so I agreed.

After I took Zuo Yingqiu and his wife back into my left arm, I hurriedly dealt with them and returned to room 309 of the hotel to sleep.

In the middle of the night, a woman's cry reached my eardrums, and I couldn't help but wake up from my dream, and sat vigilantly on the bed to observe every move in the room.

The cry came from the chair by the window, it seems that the landlady did not lie to me, this room is really haunted, but am I afraid of ghosts as a god?

Zuo Yingqiu and his wife turned into two black gases and landed on my left and right, and they stared at the chair deadly.

"I forgot to open my eyes, I can't see ghosts. ”

I shrugged my shoulders at the two of them. Indeed, if the ghosts do not want to appear, I will not be able to see them.

Xu Siqing shook her head at me, signaling that I didn't have to bother so much, she stretched out her right hand without moving, and grabbed straight towards the chair.

A miserable cry reached my eardrums again, and a woman dressed in yellow appeared in front of me. This woman's hair was grabbed by Xu Siqing's hand, which had grown several times longer, and she struggled desperately, but her ghost aura was very little, how could she compare with a powerful ghost like Xu Siqing.

Zuo Yingqiu walked over and slapped the female ghost twice, and then said to the female ghost viciously: "My little master is resting here, what kind of crime should you be guilty of crying at night." ”

"Hey, I said that Ying Qiu can take pity on the fragrance and cherish the jade, you put on the clothes of the Eighth Rank Official, and you really think that you are the eldest master, and I will judge you. "I didn't have the anger to preach to Zuo Yingqiu, because I felt that he was stealing the limelight from me.

"Now, here you go. ”

Zuo Yingqiu directly pushed the crying female ghost in yellow to a position less than two centimeters away from me, and came face to face with me. At this time, I saw clearly that the eyes, nostrils, ears, and corners of the mouth of the female ghost in yellow were all bleeding, and the dark and terrifying aura was instantly reflected in my mind.

I was startled by Zuo Yingqiu's sudden move, and my instinctive reaction made me wave my hand and wanted to push away the female ghost in yellow, but as soon as I waved my hand, the female ghost actually swayed up and down with my raised hand.

What's the situation, when did Lao Tzu have this special function! The Zuo Yingqiu couple on the side also widened their eyes, and they looked at me in disbelief.

It is recorded in the Black Book that if a person has enough Dao Qi in his body to crush ghosts, then he can control ghosts into intangible. But whether it is a cultivator in the Yang world or a ghost envoy in the underworld, the farthest distance to control ghosts can only be within a range of fifteen meters, and if it exceeds the range of fifteen meters, it must be a great immortal in the upper realm.

When did I have the Dao Qi in my body? Could it be••••••

Thinking of this, I waved my right hand violently, and the female ghost in yellow also slammed into the wall on the right, and after hitting the wall, the female ghost in yellow let out an extremely terrible cry of pain, and finally turned into a cloud of green smoke and scattered.

Xu Siqing was frightened by my move, staring at my outstretched right arm, and was speechless.

"Little master, you ••••••" Zuo Yingqiu looked at me with a look of wanting to say something, and his face still had no expression.

I slowly came back to my senses, and stretched out my right arm to Xu Siqing with a serious face, Xu Siqing was slowly lifted by me with an invisible force, and Xu Siqing's body that was already floating in the air swayed back and forth with my right arm.

"Little master, no, Siqing has done something wrong, I hope the little master will forgive me. Xu Siqing, who looked panicked, opened her mouth and begged for mercy.

I could feel that Xu Siqing was resisting my sudden move, but even if her ghost aura soared, she couldn't break through my invisible manipulative power.

Zuo Yingqiu on the side was probably out of love for his wife, and he reached out to stop my crazy move. With a wave of my left hand, an invisible force once again blocked Zuo Yingqiu's progress! At this moment, Zuo Yingqiu's whole body was condensed, and a powerful force in his body was squeezing me, but his power could not break through the thoughts I had released. In an instant, I clearly felt that the power of the remnant soul was swimming in my body, and it was releasing a steady stream of golden light, and it was indeed a treasure.

As soon as my mind was relieved, Xu Siqing slowly fell from the sky, and Zuo Yingqiu almost fell into a. The frightened Zuo Yingqiu and his wife stared at me blankly.

When I came back to my senses, I looked at Zuo Yingqiu and his wife, and said with some embarrassment: "Recently, I have penetrated some deep-level Dao techniques, and I haven't used them yet, so I'm sorry to scare the two of you." ”

I must not let them know about the remnants of the gills in my body, because I don't know what kind of disastrous consequences will come if others know about it!

After hearing my words, Zuo Yingqiu's frightened expression dissipated, and he turned back to his previous facial paralysis.

"Little Lord, the power of your Dao technique is too weird, and the power that you just used to stop me is both good and evil, constantly devouring my power, and constantly fusing and transforming into new control. Zuo Yingqiu glanced at me with some jealousy and spoke.

"Yes, master, I have advanced Taoist skills!" I laughed, hiding the embarrassment just now.

Xu Siqing, who came to her senses, looked at the direction of the female ghost in yellow and turned into green smoke, and said to me with a sad face: "Little master, this ghost has no intention of hurting you, just teach a small punishment, you don't have to let her soul fly away!"

I was embarrassed to disturb my head and explained to Xu Siqing: "I didn't know that the ancestral secretary's deep-seated Dao skills were so powerful, a small move would make his soul fly away, and I would definitely control the power in my body in the future." ”

After a brief exchange, I stretched out my left arm, and the two ghosts returned to my arm, and then I fell asleep peacefully.

When I woke up the next day, I thought it was about 11 o'clock, packed up my personal belongings, and walked out of the room.

When I first arrived at the staircase, the woman from yesterday walked into me with a mysterious look on her face and asked, "Did you sleep well last night, did she show up?"

"No, I slept well last night. ”

"It's okay. The woman breathed a sigh of relief, but her face was full of doubt.

At this moment, my heart is extremely excited, because when I killed the female ghost in yellow last night, I actually found that there was Dao Qi in my body, and the source of this Dao Qi naturally came from the remnant soul of the fish gills. But I know that this force is not enough to control Zuo Yingqiu and his wife, they are just cooperating with my performance.
