When Xiang You returned to Zhenjun Temple, Xuan Zhenzi had already returned. He sat on a wooden chair in the main hall, his right hand resting on the small square table next to him, and a bowl of tea was sitting in his hand, steaming hot.

Xiang You walked up to him and called, "Master." ”

"Come back?—— go, take you to your room. Xuan Zhenzi took Xiang You's little hand, got up and stepped out of the threshold together.

Xiang You's room was the one in the two rooms on the west side of the courtyard. The house is very clean, the configuration is very simple, a bed, a cabinet, a table, a chair, a bed near the window, the futon has been laid, and there is a stack of books on the table. Apparently the place has just been cleaned.

Xiang You opened his mouth to say something. Even in the morning, he was still angry at Master's coldness. And now, looking at the white-eyed middle-aged man next to him, his eyes have changed again.

"The room was somewhat basic. How's it going?

After the two walked into the room, Gen Mako asked.

"Well, satisfied, thank you, Master. Xiang You replied.

Gen Mako walked into the table next to the wall, picked up a copy from the stack of books on it with his right hand, and glanced at it. His expression was a little indifferent, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell me, do you really want to cultivate?"

Xiang You pondered for a while and asked, "What is Master's cultivation?"

Xuan Zhenzi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him, "Then let me ask you, why do you want to worship me as a teacher?"

Xiang You said without thinking: "I want to learn immortal spells, and then become very powerful." ”

When Xuan Zhenzi heard this, he smiled, completely in the mentality of a child. But isn't this the dream of some children? Xuan Zhenzi put away his smile and said, "Okay, from now on, your Dao name is 'Huayu', so don't use your real name." At present, you are the only disciple of the True Monarch Concept. When it came to "the only one", Xuan Zhenzi's heart sank suddenly.

"Yes, Master. After the master gave him the Dao name, Xiang You was very happy. I thought that when I went back after I finished my studies, I would envy them to death. Thinking of going back, a small purple figure immediately appeared in Xiang You's mind, and asked again, "Master, where is the Sea Dry Cliff - Illusory Heart Sect?"

This is the question he has asked more than once. Xuan Zhenzi knew that he was looking for a little girl named Chen Huilan. As for why the little girl went to the Phantom Heart Sect, no one knew the reason for this, and then Xuan Zhenzi said: "In Liaozhou, north of the state. ”

In Liaozhou, Xiang You was visibly shocked. Although he has not been to Liaozhou, he also knows that this place is very far away, according to the book, if you go to Liaozhou on foot, it will take about seven months to walk without stopping. He really couldn't imagine how Chen Huilan could go there. Since I was born, I haven't been far away, and the farthest place I went to was probably only Dongyao City, except for this time I came to Maoshan.

Xuan Zhenzi handed the book in his hand to Xiang You and asked, "Are you literate?"

"Those who are literate do not know. Xiang You was a little embarrassed, and when he said that, his voice was so low that it was difficult to hear.

"Well, you read these books first, and if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me. Xuan Zhenzi said lightly.

"Then Master, when will I learn spells?" Xiang You was a little impatient.

Xuan Zhenzi's white eyebrows raised, and he took out a relatively thin book from the table and handed it to Xiang You. A serious way: "Do things gradually, and learn spells even more so." You first reach the foundation of the book, and then I will teach you. ”

After hearing this, Xiang You was overjoyed in his heart. I couldn't help but glance at the book, only to see the brown writing on the four words "build a foundation and refine yourself". After turning a few more pages, they were all densely packed with small print, and then the content was closed without reading it.

Xuan Zhenzi looked down at Xiang You's face. A delicate and fair face, thin eyebrows and starry eyes, there is a femininity like the opposite sex between the eyebrows. He seemed to be moved in his heart, and asked, "Do you remember your father and your mother?"

Xiang You tilted his head, grabbed his hair, and said embarrassedly: "My father and my mother died when I was very young, and I have no impression of them at all. The old housekeeper of our family doesn't seem to know anything about my father and my mother, but I do know that my father is a god hunter. ”

Xuan Zhenzi sighed secretly, and his heart was full of sympathy for Xiang You. But there was one thing he couldn't understand, how could the people of the Tang Sect ignore Xiang You? After all, he was also her child!

"Jingle bells!" "Jingle bells!" ......

The crisp sound of the bell came from outside the house, and Xuan Zhenzi and Xiang You were very curious after hearing it, and immediately came out of the house and walked towards the gate of the Taoist temple.

When the door opened, I saw a group of people standing outside the door.

Xiang You glanced down, there were six people, four men and two women. One of them was a middle-aged Taoist priest with a beard, followed by two young Taoist priests, the youngest of whom was as old as himself, and the eldest was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, who held a copper bell in his hand, and the bell just now was obviously made by it.

To the left of the boy stood a tall, powerful man in armor. To Xiang You's surprise, the man had a yellow note pasted on his forehead.

And there is a strange pattern painted on the top of the note, this pattern seems to be a word, it seems to be a painting but I don't know what it is, it seems to be written indiscriminately, but it makes people feel that this pattern is neat and rhyme, and it is indescribably natural.

When Xiang You looked at the man's bare hands, his heart shook violently. His hands were covered with thick green hair, and even his nails were glowing with inky darkness, and I don't know what special hobby this person had, the length of his nails was more than three inches.

"Is this a normal person?" Xiang You couldn't help but think.

This man in armor made Xiang You feel uncomfortable, and he immediately looked elsewhere.

Next to them are two Dao aunts, one older and one younger, the older one is about the same age as Xuan Zhenzi, and the younger one is younger than Xiang You, about six or seven years old. They stood opposite the Bazi Daoist, as if they were talking about something after meeting?

After these people outside the door saw Xuan Zhenzi coming out of the True Monarch Temple, they all calmed down. But then his eyes were attracted by Xiang You behind Xuan Zhenzi, and they all stared at Xiang You in surprise, as if they had discovered a very strange thing.

"Baimei, have you accepted apprentices?" the middle-aged Taoist priest with the eight-character beard felt a little unbelievable and said in surprise.

Xuan Zhenzi nodded with a smile and answered.

"Hua Yu, why don't you meet the two real people and your senior brother and sister. Xuan Zhenzi said to Xiang You in the back.

"Yes, you must have an apprentice, or else you will become an ownerless person in the future. The middle-aged Dao Gu spoke casually, and she didn't feel anything wrong at all. However, there was still a hint of joy in the tone.

Xuan Zhenzi's right hand patted the back of Xiang You's head slightly, and nodded with a smile.

Xiang You was a little shy, but he still went up to meet them one by one.

It turned out that they were all Taoist priests on the Crescent Moon Peak, and the two Taoist aunts lived on the top of the peak, and the older one was called Xiao Yuezhenren, and she was the master of the Bright Moon Temple. The younger one is her only apprentice, called Xing Yuzi.

And the middle-aged Taoist priest with the eight-character beard, he is the master of the Qingfeng Temple, the real person with withered leaves, who lives on the back of the mountainside, which is the opposite of the Zhenjun Temple. The remaining two little Taoist priests, needless to say, are naturally his apprentices, and the young ones are the ones holding the copper bells, and they are the conscience of the big apprentices. And the little Taoist priest who is as big as Xiang You is a little apprentice Liangren.

Xuan Zhenzi did not introduce the strange man in armor, but the withered leaf real person said to Xuan Zhenzi: "Bai Mei, how do you look at the breed? ”

Xuan Zhenzi's expression was a little serious, he walked up to the man, stretched out his two fingers, and lifted the yellow paper on his face to look at it. The corners of his mouth moved, he took a deep breath and said, "Mao Zhuang!"

As soon as the withered leaves looked at Xuan Zhenzi's expression, he proudly wiped the beard on his mouth a few times, and said with a smile: "Yes, I specially sent it to you to taste." ”

Xiao Yuezhen seemed to have something to do, said goodbye to everyone, and went down the mountain with Xingyuzi.

"Please," Xuan Zhenzi invited the withered leaf real person and his disciples to enter the Taoist temple.

Xiang You immediately stood by the door and made way for them.

"Jingle bells!" "Jingle bells!" ......

Conscience shook the brass bell in his hand again. Suddenly, the man in armor, who had not moved at all from just now to now, moved. I saw that he stretched out his hands and jumped with the bell of conscience, his movements stiff, but agile.

Now Xiang You completely understood, this is what the old people call zombies! The resurrected corpse in the legend is not blind to death and resentful, and can absorb the yin qi of the moonlight. The whole body is stiff, the nails are black and sharp, there are sharp canine teeth, it feeds on human or domestic blood, and its hands are stretched forward when jumping forward.

Soon the zombie wearing armor jumped in front of him, and Xiang You was so frightened that his face was bloodless. Even though he clearly knew that this zombie had been subdued and would not hurt himself, Xiang You still couldn't calm down in his heart.

"Go pour your tea. Xuan Zhenzi instructed Xiang You, who was stunned.

Xiang You came back to his senses, and as soon as they sat down, he immediately poured four cups of tea. Out of the corner of his eye, he secretly glanced at the zombie wearing armor, and suddenly he found that the hand covered with black hair was actually wrapped with a trace of dark qi.

"Ahh ”

Everyone sitting was startled by Xiang You at first, but after knowing the reason, they all laughed. Xuan Zhenzi shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Hua Yu, you go down first! I'll read all the books for you." ”

Seeing that they were all calm, Xiang You knew that he was making a fuss, and he was suddenly embarrassed.

Hearing a burst of laughter behind him, Xiang You walked to his room. I picked up a book on the table, sat down on the bed and read it.

Xiang You read the title of the book "Detailed Explanation of Taoist Techniques", and immediately became interested. But after turning a few pages, I found that this was a book that introduced various techniques, and it was not for professors to learn and cultivate at all.

The excitement in my heart plummeted in an instant, but out of my love for spells, I still watched it:

Hongmeng has the sky, and the avenue follows it. Heaven and earth are born with the law, and the law follows closely. The supernatural power is outside, and the magic is ...... inside

The sky outside was gradually darkening, and Xiang You was already sitting in the bed. He lowered his head and held a book in his hand, the name of which had been changed to "The Three Mountains Fu Zheng Yi Alliance".

He has already read half of these books, and Xiang You has not read such a book for so seriously for so long since he was born.

Now Xiang You's vision has changed a lot, if he is the armored zombie he sees now, he will definitely not be so ignorant and fuss anymore. It was a "hair stiff", a kind of zombie, Xuan Zhenzi had said it before, but at that time Xiang You didn't understand what "hair stiff" meant.

"Squeak—"

The door opened suddenly, Xiang You raised his head to look at the people, and saw Xuan Zhenzi walking in with two small bowls in both hands. Xiang You's heart warmed, and he shouted, "Master," and immediately got out of bed and took the bowl in his hand, which was a bowl of white rice and a bowl of side dishes.

"Master, why don't you eat it?" Xiang You looked up at Xuan Zhenzi next to him.

"Master, I've already eaten it, I wanted to call you along, but I saw that you read so seriously, so I didn't bother. Xuan Zhenzi laughed.

"Oh!" Xiang You continued to bow his head and eat.

"How's it going?

Xiang You thought thoughtfully for a while, and then smiled: "There are many things I don't understand. ”

"Well, let's hear it. Xuan Zhenzi raised his eyebrows.

Xiang You thought for a while and said, "Dao magic is mysterious and mysterious, I have never heard of it, is this an immortal spell?"

Xuan Zhenzi was stunned for a moment, why did this kid always revolve around the words "immortal spells"? After thinking for a moment, he said: "Yes, aside from martial arts, there are only three powers in this world in my cognition, magic, law, and supernatural powers, and I think even the magic and mysterious witchcraft of the Western Continent are among them." ”

Xiang You hurriedly ate the rest of the meal and listened carefully.

Xuan Zhenzi continued: "The technique is called the side door left way, but it is also the most used. Magic can drive and change all things, but to use magic, you have to use various mediums to achieve your desired goals. Xuan Zhenzi stretched out two fingers and took out a talisman from his arms, and the true qi urged, and the talisman immediately burned. Suddenly, a small fire dragon appeared in Xuan Zhenzi's palm, and the little fire dragon seemed to be imprisoned, constantly swimming up and down, left and right in his palm, but he couldn't come out.

Xiang You stared at the little fire dragon, his eyes were shining, his heart was "plopping" and "plopping", and his fair face was flushed.

With a wave of Xuan Zhenzi's hand, the room immediately darkened, and the fire dragon was gone.

"This is the talisman we commonly use in Taoism, and this medium is that talisman. On the other hand, the Fa is the opposite, abandoning the medium and exerting it entirely by one's own strength. As soon as Xuan Zhenzi finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand and faced the door. Suddenly, his hand was instantly entwined with wisps of white light, and the door opened automatically.

Xiang You was stunned, only to see Xuan Zhenzi's hand wave again, "Bang!" The door closed.

Xiang You didn't speak, the spells and spells that Xuan Zhenzi had cast just now had completely conquered him, and he was looking forward to Xuan Zhenzi continuing to speak.

Xuan Zhenzi didn't let him wait long, and continued: "And the supernatural power, it is a powerful force that should not appear in this world, and this kind of power is not something that everyone can have. It is divided into innate and acquired, and is divided into three types, law, mystery, and special spiritual power. It's a pity that your master and I don't have this kind of power, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes......"

......
