Chapter 40: Surprise – Praise for Growth
"It's called the Black Ice Sword?" Silence (or should I say sluggish?) After a long while, Bai Gongzi finally regained his usual calm expression, took the black ice sword in my left hand with great interest, and stroked it carefully. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes! ――Bai Gongzi, you don't know? I asked curiously.
"I've never heard of it," Bai Gongzi stroked the sword repeatedly until the temperature of his palm melted the black ice sword, "Oh...... The origin of water color, the sex ink is good at constricting...... I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, ha! So that's what happened! ”
Belch! Isn't this Taoism? How could it be that my master didn't know?
"That'...... Sakura, how did you get through the snowman level? Bai Gongzi didn't notice my doubts, and then asked.
"It's easy! Explode it with the Fire Charm, and then pierce the heart of the Dao Charm with your sword. Although I didn't understand why Bai Gongzi showed such a strange expression, I still answered honestly.
"Flame Charm? Can you blow up a snowman?! Listening to the tone, it seemed that Bai Gongzi was even more surprised.
"This ...... Nothing difficult, right? I scratched my head inexplicably, "Although the snowman has some Dao resistance, isn't it hard to break it?!" ”
"Ugh! How come?! Bai Gongzi quickly took out a Dao talisman and handed it to me, "Sakura, put a fire flame on the next one!" ”
See? What do you think?
"Is that so?". Strangely holding the Dao Talisman between my index and middle fingers, I casually shook it a few times, and the Dao Talisman burned smoothly, "Do you need to throw it out?" ”。 I asked.
"No!" Bai Gongzi stretched out his hand towards the flames, as if feeling its heat. It's like stroking the leap of flames.
After a while, the Dao Talisman was about to burn out, in order not to hurt his fingers. I hurriedly threw out the remaining talismans.
And Bai Gongzi still maintained a solemn posture of stroking the flames, as if he was thinking carefully.
What's going on?
Bai Gongzi's abnormal behavior made me very confused.
How could he react so much?
Is there anything wrong with my Dao technique?
Although-not that I'm boasting! The effect of other people's Taoism is indeed very good! But will there be any deviation in the method of use? After all, the Fire Flame Talisman, the Black Ice Sword...... Oh! There are also Dao rune paper cranes - they are all said to be used by people themselves...... Kindness...... Although it is based on basic Dao Shu theory, I honestly didn't really think about it when I used these Dao techniques.
"Sakura, are these your Dao techniques?" Bai Gongzi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, "Has anyone taught you?" ”。
"No? ――I guess these are my Taoist skills, right? Except for you, Bai Gongzi, no one has ever taught you! ”
"Three-flavor real fire too?"
"Three flavors are really hot?! Ha? What is that? ”
"Ahh It's the fire you just unleashed. ”
"That's called Sanwei Zhenhuo?!" It dawned on me.
“…… So what do you think that's called?! Bai Gongzi looked a little helpless. Although it's a little worse than the real three-flavor real fire, it feels like it's just a taste! ”
"Blindly?!"
"Yes, True Flame. This is the inner pill of Taoism, and the three flavors of its fire are heart fire...... Forget it, it's a hassle to talk about, Sakura, you don't know. In short, Sakura, the flame you just released is indeed different from ordinary flames. ”
"Of course it's different! I invented it myself! "I can't help but feel a little proud." But I really don't know what it says about the Three Flavors True Fire -- people have always regarded it as a flame of the Holy Nature......"
"Holy Attribute Flame?" This time it was Bai Gongzi's turn to be strange.
"Yes," I explained, "at first I just wanted to send out the holy flame that would be effective against the demons, Eh...... I thought that since light magic is light, and the light emitted by the flame burning is also light, it should be universal, so I strengthened the power of the flame charm to burn time, and then there was an effect similar to the holy fire...... Kindness...... In fact, it's just adding your own thoughts to the Dao talisman that you throw out. Think, fire can give light. More light, more powerful light. Then just throw out the talisman! ”
"The flame talisman with the mind? - It's that simple?! Bai Gongzi looked at me strangely for a long time (in fact, he shouldn't be watching, right?). He just looked at me with a strange look - after all, he couldn't see anything) and finally smiled heartily, "Sakura, you're already a first-class Taoist master!" ”
"Really?" Although I asked this rhetorically, I was already starting to feel good in my heart.
"Yes! Black Ice Sword, Three Flavors True Fire - and your Dao Rune Paper Crane, there are only a few people who can do it among all the Bai family disciples of my father - if you are a disciple of our Bai family, the strength of Dao art is definitely in the top three! ”
"But, Bai Gongzi, people are originally-"
Bai Gongzi, aren't you my master? I was about to say this, but was interrupted by a wave of Bai Gongzi's hand.
"Sakura, remember, it's not your master in the next place!" At this time, Bai Gongzi looked very solemn, "Zai Xia is just teaching you the foundation of Taoism, and your subsequent growth is all on your own, you can become a first-class Taoist master not by relying on the teachings of Xia, but by your own efforts!" …… I am not qualified to be your master at all! ”
"But...... After all, it's Bai Gongzi, you guide me ......"
"Is someone who teaches a baby to walk a teacher? -- I'm just teaching Sakura how to walk -- Sakura's talent for Taoism is really unimaginable -- first of all, I'm not complimenting you in the next one! ”
"Bai Gongzi, you are already complimenting! Where is the talent so high...... "Although I was very happy to be praised, I was still a little embarrassed to bow my head......
"That's it, right? Sakura, go back! ”
"You really don't need me to send it? Bai Gongzi, you ......"
Early in the morning, Bai Suiyun said goodbye to me and said that he was going to travel again.
In fact, I originally wanted to set off to the imperial city with Bai Gongzi, but after all, the real task of going home has not been completed yet-I was going to go home and clean Lacey's room well, but I didn't expect so many things to happen.
So, I had to send Bai Gongzi outside the house-
"I'm used to it! Sakura, don't worry about being down there just because you can't see it! Bai Gongzi smiled, "Look." On this trip, I didn't even bring a scholar! ”
"Yes! I know that Bai Gongzi is so powerful......"
"Sakura, don't be too anxious." Suddenly, Bai Gongzi said such a sentence inexplicably. "Don't be too anxious when it comes to learning Taoism."
"Huh? How can I have? ”
"You can't fool this!" Bai Suiyun smiled, "Sometimes you're forcing yourself, aren't you?" ――Even if you can't do it, do you want to keep trying? A lot of times you're also broken jars and broken - ah! It means that you just don't care about anything, don't think about anything, and just fight randomly! ”
"This ......" seems to be like this?
I nodded silently.
"You're so impatient, I never thought that someone would grow into a first-class Taoist like you in just one year. And you did...... In terms of the growth of a sorcerer, Sakura, you have grown too fast! ”
"What's wrong with being fast?".
"There's nothing wrong with that...... It's just that I feel that Sakura's growth is not gradual according to the Taoist theory, but is forcing yourself - about Threstine's death. And the secret of his body, one day the truth will be revealed, you don't have to rush to find the answer. ”
"Huh? Les? "I don't know why Bai Gongzi mentioned Lacey at this time, I can't help but feel a little confused.
I was anxious to learn Taoism. How could it have anything to do with Lacey?
Again. Obviously, Reis is no longer there, and he can't be anxious if he wants to!
Truly...... I can't be in a hurry at all.
"Although I'm not a girl like you, I can still understand your feelings to some extent - isn't it just for him that you work so hard to learn Taoism and work hard to make yourself grow?"
Belch! This one...... It seems that Bai Gongzi is right, I learned Taoism for the sake of Lacey, even if Lacey is no longer there......
I also hope to use my Dao skills to unlock the secrets of Lacey. Find the real culprit who killed Lacey, and ...... Even if it's no longer possible. I'm still trying to find a way to unlock the curse of blood on Lacey.
"Fortunately, the group of people from the Non-God Association have now eliminated their hostility towards our Daoist through Mr. Fan, and as for Threstine, and the Masked Man, they should come and ask us if they find out, right? -- This is much better than relying on our strength alone. ”
"That'...... Bai Gongzi, you say...... Should I join a non-god association? ”。 I asked tentatively.
After all, we have the same goal as the Non-God Association, and we all want to find out the true face of the Mask Man.
"This ......" Bai Suiyun hesitated slightly, and then said, "This is still up to Sakura's own wishes, right?" If you think you can—that's fine, but ......"
"But?"
"Huh?! It's nothing! Bai Suiyun turned his face and smiled, "It's up to you!" ――How can you interfere with your thoughts if you are not your master? ”
"Bai Gongzi, you are here again?! - Even if you don't recognize it, in their hearts, you have always been their master! ”
"Hah! So in that case...... Let's talk a little more - Miss Sakura, you must know that the ultimate goal of the Non-God Association is to avoid the impending disaster, and finding the Mask Man is only one part of it! ”
"Huh? What do you mean—"
"The following means: If Sakura wants to help the Non-God Association achieve their ultimate goal, then you can join them! But if you just want to find the masked man...... Hey! ”
This one...... How so?
Of course, finding the masked man and the manipulator behind him is more important to me now, but stopping the impending catastrophe on our continent should be what all those capable of our continent should do, right? - I don't like the way things are done by non-god associations.
"Now Sakura, you must be thinking about the impending disaster, right?" At this time, Bai Gongzi seemed to guess what I was thinking, so he said, "Don't pay too much attention to this suggestion!" ”
"Huh?"
"yes, don't worry too much!" Bai Gongzi nodded, "It's said to be a disaster, but it's actually different from person to person!" - Well, that's all I can say in the next - there will be a date later! (To be continued......)
