There are many things in this world that are helpless, for example, Su Xiaoqi just now firmly believed that sooner or later he would become a strong person in the mirror and have a different life, but at this moment he had to return to that dilapidated courtyard.

The only thing that can make Su Xiaoqi feel relieved is the couplet in front of the door.

"Every year is sad, every year is over, every year is safe, every year is safe". How nice!

The depressed mood instantly improved a lot.

When he got home, Su Xiaoqi only felt tired and really wanted to sleep well, but the big yellow dog on the opposite side barked non-stop, so Su Xiaoqi could only walk into the kitchen helplessly.

After getting the dog food, dragging the tired body across the stone arch bridge, and feeding the big yellow dog, he dragged the tired body back to the dilapidated courtyard, and fell directly unconscious on the bed.

With the strength of the mortal body mirror, he blocked the sword of the Divine Mirror Sword Cultivation, and it was already a blessing to be immortal.

When Su Xiaoqi woke up, he only felt that the light was a little dazzling, and he involuntarily reached out to cover his eyes.

Other than that, he felt really hungry.

How long have you been asleep?

Su Xiaoqi got up from the bed and muttered, "It is said that spring dreams are good, but spring sleep is not aware." Who's saying that?"

The next moment, he suddenly exclaimed, "Ah Huang? ”

As he spoke, he rushed into the kitchen, picked up two dry steamed buns, threw one in his mouth, gobbled it up, and the other in his hand, and quickly ran up to the stone arch bridge.

Fortunately, Ah Huang hadn't starved to death, but obviously he hadn't screamed before, and he was curled up on the ground at the moment, even if he heard the movement, he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.

Su Xiaoqi squatted down, handed the steamed bun in front of it, and said, "I'm really sorry, I really didn't mean to make you hungry, I haven't eaten it yet." ”

made up his mind to ignore Su Xiaoqi's big yellow dog, and after seeing the dry and hard steamed bun, he let out a low voice, swallowed the whole steamed bun in one bite, and then looked at Su Xiaoqi with some unfinished eyes.

Su Xiaoqi loosened the iron chain that bound the big yellow dog and pulled the big yellow dog onto the stone arch bridge.

One person and one dog, squatting in that dilapidated courtyard, you and I are eating dry and hard steamed buns.

For Su Xiaoqi, although the steamed buns are dry and hard, they are not really difficult to swallow, and when they used to perform tasks, many times they were actually on an empty stomach, and it was not impossible to eat leaves and grass roots.

After the big yellow dog was full, he kept running around Su Xiaoqi, barking from time to time, obviously forgiving Su Xiaoqi.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoqi was also relieved, otherwise when the little girl came back, he really didn't know how to explain to her.

Speaking of which, didn't the girl say that she would be back in two or three days?

It's not that he doesn't want to help Chen Qingqing take care of this dog, it's just that Wu Yuan has promised to teach him some talisman methods, cultivation itself is an extremely time-consuming thing, once it starts, it is inevitable that he will not be able to take care of this dog.

So he had to wait until the Chen family's grandson came back before he started to learn the talisman.

It is naturally not a bad thing to learn more things without being overwhelmed.

And if you want to bring Su Rufan back, you have to go to Haotian Sect, you have to face thousands of sword cultivators, if you don't have some special means, let alone bring Su Rufan back, it is a question whether you can walk down Haotian Sect alive.

The battle between Wu Yuan and the elders of Haotian Sect, Su Xiaoqi saw it all, if he could learn the sword talisman, it would undoubtedly be a great help to go to Haotian Sect in the future.

It's really not good, and the sword lock talisman or sword talisman is also a means of saving life.

In the evening, there was a sudden spring rain, lingering and sad, which made people feel a little depressed.

Ah Huang suddenly jumped happily and wagged his tail vigorously.

On the street, a little girl in a padded jacket came running briskly, smiling all over her face.

Then the old man of the Chen family held an oil-paper umbrella in his left hand and the cigarette stick in his right hand, still swallowing clouds and spitting fog, in the smoke and drizzle, it was even more mysterious.

The little girl ran to Su Xiaoqi, teased Ah Huang for a while, and then carefully took out a box, handed it to Su Xiaoqi, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaoqi, this is the peach shortbread I bought for you when I came back, it's delicious." ”

Su Xiaoqi hesitated a little, glanced at the leisurely old man Chen behind him, and the little girl smiled and said, "Brother Xiaoqi, don't worry, my grandfather won't say anything." ”

Su Xiaoqi smiled and took the delicate box.

From childhood to adulthood, Su Xiaoqi was a little afraid of this old man who was always leaning over and swallowing clouds, he was inexplicably scared before, but now he knows that the old guy is absolutely extraordinary, so he is even more afraid.

After taking the pastry, Su Xiaoqi told the little girl that he was going to the east for a while.

The little girl was obviously a little reluctant, why did she come back by herself, Little Seventh Brother, you have to leave? But she just smiled and said, "Then I will go to see Little Seventh Brother when I have time." ”

Su Xiaoqi nodded and hugged his fist at the old man Chen who just walked up.

The old man hummed, and then he didn't say anything, just handed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to Su Xiaoqi.

Su Xiaoqi naturally didn't dare to refuse.

What this old man gave, whether it was good or bad, he could only take it for so many years, and perhaps it had long become a habit.

Su Xiaoqi left, holding an oil-paper umbrella and peach shortbread, in the endless spring rain.

The little girl stood in front of his house, looking at his back, and he felt that the little seventh brother always looked so lonely.

From childhood to adulthood.

Old man Chen didn't say anything about his granddaughter's actions, kicked the yellow dog, and walked back to the house slowly.

......

......

The next day, the spring rain was still there, and the bones were frozen.

The immortal drunk still hasn't opened, but Tong Sanniang, the shopkeeper, seems to be very busy, and Wu Yuan, the old guy, is very leisurely, sitting on the stool, crossing Erlang's legs, knocking melon seeds, and humming a little song that has nothing to do with the word "beautiful".

Su Xiaoqi stood in front of him.

Wu Yuan put the melon seeds back on the plate on the table, and said casually: "Although there are many skills, I don't agree with it when it comes to cultivation, and it's better to specialize in one than to be miscellaneous." ”

Su Xiaoqi nodded and said, "I will not give up practicing the sword, and I will also try my best to learn the talisman well, so as not to embarrass you." ”

Wu Yuan nodded, "Okay in advance, I'll just teach you some introductory runes, and of course I'll also tell you the key to several runes such as the Zhenjian rune, as for how far you can reach, you can only rely on yourself." And between you and me, there is no master-apprentice relationship. ”

Su Xiaoqi was stunned.

He was actually preparing to apprentice.

Wu Yuan continued: "Don't think that drawing talismans is an easy thing, the pain is no less than if you practice the knife, if you give up now, it is the best, you are also easy and I am easy, if you continue to persevere, if you want to give up at that time, it will be impossible." ”

Su Xiaoqi nodded solemnly, "There is nothing that can be achieved overnight in this world, as long as I can draw the Zhenjian Talisman, I can endure the great pain." ”

Wu Yuan got up and said, "Okay, let's keep the big words for later." ”

After speaking, he directly stretched out his finger and drew in the air, this time there was no rune like last time, and there was no earth-shattering momentum.

When he stopped, only a little golden light stayed between the two of them, lasting for a long time.

Wu Yuan asked, "What do you see?"

Su Xiaoqi replied truthfully: "Light." ”

Wu Yuan shook his head, stretched out his hand and clicked on the golden light, which did not dissipate, but slowly rose.

He put his hands behind his back, paced, and said slowly: "As the saying goes, people fight for a breath, and Buddhas fight for a stick of incense." Why do people fight for this breath? Because people can only live when they have qi, and the same is true of the Buddha, a Buddha without incense is like a lifeless person, not even as good as the walking dead, in fact, Fu is the same truth. ”

Su Xiaoqi frowned and asked, "Fu also needs to be angry?"

Wu Yuan stopped, smiled and shook his head, "You can also say the same, but the so-called qi of the talisman is called 'talisman gall', if a talisman does not have the talisman gall, it is like a person is not angry, then no matter how high the rank of the talisman is, it is not a real talisman, and the person who draws such a talisman is not a talisman master." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Su Xiaoqi and asked, "Have you seen those Taoist priests who were invited by the dead?"

Su Xiaoqi must have seen it, and there are quite a few of them.

No matter who dies, some Taoist priests will be invited to come and perform a ritual to surpass the soul of the deceased.

This kind of thing, not to mention Panyang Town, is the entire Jinghe Sixteen Continents, which is extremely common.

Without Su Xiaoqi answering, Wu Yuan continued: "The talismans drawn by those Taoist priests are talismans without talismans, not to mention that this kind of talisman is excessive, and it can't even lead the way. ”

Su Xiaoqi suddenly asked, "When a person dies, is there really a so-called soul?"

Wu Yuan naturally knew why Su Xiaoqi had such a question, and nodded directly: "People have three souls and seven spirits, and there are naturally so-called ghosts in the world, this kind of thing, I don't need to say more about it now, when you reach a high level in the future, you will understand." ”

Su Xiaoqi nodded, with a little more expectation and more worry in his heart.

As the saying goes, it's not easy to be a human, but it's even harder to be a ghost.

Su Rufan is such a difficult person to even be a human being, even if he becomes a ghost, I'm afraid it will only be more difficult, right?

Wu Yuan continued: "There are four types of gall bladder, the first is yellow gall, which is also the lowest rank and the most common one. If a talisman has this kind of talisman, it can be called a spirit talisman, and it is easy to conjure spirits to guide the way, of course, if you want to use it in battle, it is far from enough. ”

Su Xiaoqi listened carefully, humbly taught, and at the same time saw the difference of the talisman master.

Wu Yuan continued to talk about the so-called Fu Guts, "The second kind is called Xuan Guts, and the Fu Gong with this kind of Fu Gu naturally has the ability to fight, and it is no longer a problem to break the formation and defend. The sword talisman I drew that day was because of this kind of talisman, and you can see what the result is, in the same realm, there is no way to stop the natal flying sword of sword cultivation. ”

Su Xiaoqi opened his mouth and said, "Is that the sword lock talisman a grade higher than the sword talisman?"

Wu Yuan nodded and said: "The lock sword talisman belongs to the primary talisman of the third type of talisman, this kind of talisman is called the earth gall, and the Zhenjian talisman belongs to the high-level talisman of the earth gall. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed: "The Zhenjian Talisman is the one I can draw with the highest rank now, and as for the last kind of Heavenly Gull Talisman, I have only seen it once in my life......"

Speaking of this, there is nostalgia and longing in his eyes.

Su Xiaoqi was surprised, even incredulous.

What can make such a strong person yearn for, how powerful should it be?
