Chapter 3: I Want to Learn Spells!
Xu Yixuan had forgotten how far he had gone, and when the sky was faintly bright, his grandfather's shouts were already echoing in the mountain stream.
"Xiao Xuan, where are you? Xiao Xuan!!"
Hearing his grandfather's hurried voice, his heart suddenly warmed, so far away, he didn't know how his grandfather found it, but he knew that he should go.
"It's time for you to go back. ”
Through a night of understanding, Xu Yixuan no longer had the initial fear of Xiaoqing, and also had a preliminary understanding of her, she was a kind person when she was alive, even if fate was not very fair to her, she never thought about harming people after she died.
Her greatest wish was nothing more than someone to talk to her, and Xu Yixuan was very sympathetic to her experience. Seeing her lower her head and say this to him, she could actually see the loss in her tone, and secretly decided in her heart that when she saw her grandfather later, she would definitely ask him to take Xiaoqing out.
"Sister Xiaoqing, don't worry, I will beg my grandfather to take you away!"
Xu Yixuan clenched his immature little fist and looked at Xiaoqing and promised. Regarding this female ghost who can be his grandmother, Xu Yixuan felt that it was more comfortable to call her sister, and Xiaoqing also acquiesced to Xu Yixuan's name for her.
"Really?"
Xiaoqing looked at Xu Yixuan excitedly, as if she had heard the most exciting thing for her.
He nodded affirmatively.
"Definitely!"
Speaking of this, Xu Yixuan suddenly shouted in the direction of his grandfather's voice.
"Grandpa, I'm here!
After a short time, my grandfather came out of a bush in the distance, and when he saw Xu Yixuan, he quickened his pace and walked to Xu Yixuan's side, checked me up and down, and saw that there was nothing on his body except for a little broken skin, so he was relieved.
Then he made a photo in the direction where Xiaoqing was.
"If you want Xiao Xuan to be safe all night in this deep mountain, it must be the girl who took care of it?"
"Don't dare, I just asked him to chat with me, the master said seriously. "
Sister Xiaoqing's sweet voice sounded, and after the words fell, the figure slowly appeared. It turned out that as soon as grandpa came out, Sister Xiaoqing felt the coercion from her grandfather, so she hid her figure, but she didn't expect grandpa to see where she was as soon as she came, so she showed up again.
"Lao Dao thanked me first. ”
Grandpa thanked him again.
After they were polite back and forth, Xu Yixuan had a chance to interject.
"Grandpa, this sister is lost here, trapped here and can't get out, can grandpa take her out with her?"
"Oh?"
At this time, the grandfather didn't have his usual indecent appearance, and looked at Xiaoqing.
"I wonder if what my little grandson said is true?"
"Well, Xiao Xuan is right, I begged him to take me out, I got lost here before I was alive, and I have been trapped here since I died, and I can't get out, and I ask the master to help. ”
"Alright, let's go. Saying that, Grandpa took out a small porcelain jar from his pocket and pointed at Xiaoqing.
"Close!"
As soon as the words fell, Xiaoqing's figure immediately became smaller, and finally was sucked into the porcelain jar. Only then did he take Xu Yixuan, blow his beard and glare, and said, "You kid scared me to death!"
"Do you know where this is? I keep telling you not to run to the big black mountain, and you're still running!"
"Accident, get lost, haha, ha, haha" Xu Yixuan laughed and snorted, and finally knew why his grandfather didn't let him run this way, it is estimated that the mountain is too deep and afraid that he will get lost, after all, Sister Xiaoqing died here because she got lost, and there must be more than one person who died in this area, Xu Yixuan is not the only one who met Sister Xiaoqing, if he encounters any evil ghosts, it is estimated that what he will find now is not him, a big living person, but a cold corpse, plus there are many wild things in the deep mountains, if he is encountered, he will also die.
Grandpa didn't care about blaming Xu Yixuan, in his opinion, such a young child spent a night with a female ghost in the deep mountains, maybe how frightened he was, and now he can talk to himself like no one, which is already a miracle, how can he bear to blame this little grandson who is big again?
In fact, what Grandpa didn't expect was that Xu Yixuan was indeed frightened, but thanks to the fact that he was a child after all, even if he encountered such a thing, he had enough nerves to accept it, and he was more curious about unknown things at this age, so he was not frightened, but relied on a female ghost to spend a difficult night in the mountains. Otherwise, try it as an adult, and you might be scared of something.
Because to take away the soul is to take away her wreckage, so under the guidance of Xiaoqing's sister, I found her body in a dusty cave through the morning light, and then returned to the earthen house where my grandfather lived.
It was already noon when I returned to the earthen house where my grandfather lived, so it was already noon, so I could see how far Xu Yixuan ran last night.
Grandpa didn't care about anything else, first helped Xiaoqing find a good place for Chaoyang Feng Shui to make some sacrifices, held a simple funeral for Xiaoqing, and found a square stone to set up a stone monument. That's good.
In the eyes of grandpa, it may be a very common thing, Xiaoqing was moved to cry, she said, grandpa is tantamount to the grace of recreation, and as she spoke, she respectfully kowtowed to grandpa. After all, who wants to die without even a place to bury their bones, not to mention the wind and rain, and be eaten by insects and ants day and night.
And now, grandpa helped Xiaoqing find a place to bury her bones, and also erected a stone monument, indicating that Xiaoqing has settled down in this way, and is no longer a lonely ghost, this kindness is indeed big enough.
Compared with Xiaoqing's gratitude, grandpa said that it was nothing.
"Taoism is about fate, and you took care of my little grandson for me, which means that this is fate, otherwise I didn't see that everything was empty talk. ”
Grandpa touched Xu Yixuan's head lovingly.
"Besides, it should be to help my ill-fated little grandson accumulate more virtue. ”
Although Xu Yixuan didn't understand what his grandfather said about his ill-fated fate at this time, when he saw the spell that his grandfather used when he received Xiaoqing's sister in the morning, coupled with what his grandfather said, the grandfather, who was already the most important in his heart, instantly became even taller.
"Grandpa, I also want to learn Taoism and become a big hero like you!"
"Hehe, grandpa is not a big hero. However, this technique is always to be taught to you, and I can't let my thousands of years of Chinese culture be broken. ”
Grandpa sighed.
"I just want to teach you later, after all, you are still young, but this demon slaying path is full of dangers all the way, I want to be your grandfather died at the hands of evil ghosts, I almost folded on this thing, you are so old, how can you pick such a big burden?"
Seeing his grandfather's iron-clad man crying in his life, the softest string in Xu Yixuan's heart seemed to be plucked by hatred, and he didn't even feel wet in his eyes, and his indescribable sadness could not be calmed down for a long time.
Since he can remember, Xu Yixuan has not seen his grandfather's tears, which shows how bitter the road of subduing demons and eliminating demons is, but it is precisely because of this that the idea of learning Taoism in his heart is getting stronger and stronger.
If at first he wanted to learn Dao because he was curious or thought it was cool, then now Xu Yixuan is determined.
Under his soft grinding and hard bubbles, my grandfather finally agreed to teach me.
So in the deep mountains, there is one more spectacle, an 8.9-year-old boy squatting on a horse, climbing a big tree, boxing, and then followed by an old man in his 50s holding a cowhide band, once the little boy does not do well, snap up is a bit.
While sleeping, under a flickering lamp, a little boy who did not know a few Chinese characters was reciting an obscure incantation.
Half a year later, Xu Yixuan can already control the whereabouts of the rune paper out of thin air and ignite the rune paper, and he can also communicate with the soul and control some ordinary souls that are not very angry.
Even his grandfather couldn't help but praise Xu Yixuan, saying that Xu Yixuan was indeed a good seedling for learning Taoism, and his kind of realm would probably not be reached by ordinary people after eight years of practice, not to mention that Xu Yixuan was still a child.
This all shows that Xu Yixuan has a great talent in Taoist attainments.
In Grandpa's words, the road to eliminate demons is extremely difficult, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life. Fitness is a must.
Sometimes Xu Yixuan really thought about giving up, and was trained by his grandfather every day who was almost cruel, and he almost couldn't hold on several times, and even passed out directly from exhaustion once.
But whenever I think about my grandfather's life in order to get rid of the evil ghosts, what is my own suffering, so I grit my teeth and persist every time. Later, I didn't even go to kindergarten. Concentrate on learning Taoism in the deep mountains.
Until he was ten years old, his grandfather said to Xu Yixuan that the art should be successful, not overnight, and he also memorized what should be memorized, how to use it and taught it, and the rest depends on his own understanding. However, his physical fitness can be further improved, so he decided to send Xu Yixuan to a friend for 'further study', so he took out his big brother with a good signal, called someone, and the next day, a tall man respectfully took Xu Yixuan away.
It can be seen that this person has a lot of respect for his grandfather.
Before leaving, his grandfather told Xu Yixuan that Taoism is inextricably linked to the physique, and the stronger the physique, the more the Dao can be brought into full play, and learning the Dao can also make the physique one step closer. It can be said that the two complement each other.
This Xu Yixuan nodded vigorously to show his understanding, after all, it is conceivable how a person who has no power to restrain the chicken can use Dao techniques that are both nerve-wracking and laborious. And if you have a strong physique, the Dao technique you use will inevitably be even more powerful.
And according to what Grandpa told Xu Yixuan, once some advanced Taoist techniques are used, they will hurt the body very much, if the user is in good health, it will not be too weak, but if the user's physique is too weak, or he can't use it directly, even if he barely uses it, the effect will be greatly reduced, and when he is used up, he will even be weak and unable to move, at this time, if the opponent can still do it, then it is the death period of his own caster! This is the difference between the strength and weakness of the caster.
So grandpa proposed to let Xu Yixuan go to 'further study', Xu Yixuan said that he understood, and now he is also looking forward to becoming stronger!
It wasn't until later that Xu Yixuan knew what his grandfather's 'further study' meant.
It was the day of true companionship with death!
Its mortality rate is only a lot higher than that of the Demon Slayer Guardian Dao!
And Sister Xiaoqing, although she has been a ghost for nearly a hundred years, she has not done anything bad.
According to grandpa, Sister Xiaoqing's failure to enter the underworld to reincarnate is mainly due to the negligence of the ghost, as long as the relationship is taken care of up and down, maybe she can help Sister Xiaoqing reincarnate.
Unexpectedly, Sister Xiaoqing said that she had been dead for more than a hundred years, and she didn't have much interest in reincarnation, and her biggest wish was to be able to get out of that big forest, and now it's gone.
She wanted to follow Xu Yixuan to the outside world to see.
So, Xiaoqing has been by Xu Yixuan's side since then.
