Chapter 002: Talented
Five hundred years, otherworldly, mortals? What the hell is going on?
"In your words, this could count as another plane. The old man said with a smile.
He seems to hear my thoughts, why does he answer whatever I want?
"Yes, I can hear you?" said the old man.
"The young lady from before was so beautiful, if she were my daughter-in-law..." I thought so, and I also wanted to see if what the old man said was true.
But as soon as I thought of this, a strong wind struck, and I was lying on the ground, unable to move at all.
It was like a mountain on my body, and I was a little out of breath, and I almost vomited blood when my throat was hot.
"Boy, it's good for you to think about it again. The old man's voice seemed to enter my consciousness directly.
"I was wrong, I'm just trying to see if you can really hear me. I hurriedly said.
Can I speak? Suddenly I can speak?
It wasn't that I didn't want to speak, it was like something was blocking my throat and I couldn't make a sound.
The coercion on my body dissipated, and I hurriedly got up, this time I didn't dare to think about it, and stood respectfully in front of the old man, waiting for his next step.
"Do you believe in fate?" asked the old man.
"I don't believe it. I said with a frown.
"What do you mean by that?" said the old man, looking at me with interest.
"If believing in fate means accepting fate, then I don't believe it, if believing in fate means birth, then I believe it, after all, there are things that are not born when they are born, and they don't want to have them in this life. I said.
"Although it is very worldly, but this answer, I am quite satisfied, as the so-called one life, two luck, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin virtue and five reading, six seven phases and eight gods, nine nobles and ten self-cultivation, some things have their own fixed number in the dark, but it is not impossible to change. The old man stroked his beard and said slowly.
"What one, two, three, four, five, I don't understand. I said with a glazed eye.
"One life, that is, the origin you say, this is fate, this cannot be changed; the second fortune, that is, the road after you, if the luck is enough, you can change your life; the three feng shui, that is, all the favorable factors that help you succeed; the four accumulation of yin virtue, that is, the literal meaning; the fifth reading, that is, the learning of all the knowledge and skills that can help you grow. The old man explained.
"I understand what you say, but I still don't understand this Yin De. I asked.
"Everything in the world has cause and effect, planting good causes and producing good results, yin virtue and yang virtue morality, that is, the heart is good, and yin virtue is to do good without leaving a name. The old man said.
"Then why do you do good deeds without leaving a name? Do good deeds without letting people know, who knows that I did them?"
"If you do a good deed, you preach it everywhere, and you deliberately let others know it, it is not true goodness, but hypocrisy, and there is merit but no merit. And even if the accumulation of yin virtue is faced with the ridicule, indifference, and discrimination of others, it can still be unhindered, that is, the merit is immeasurable. The old man said.
"I have morality, so Yang virtue is to do good deeds for people to know?" I asked.
"But the fame that comes with it, can you bear it?" the old man looked at me with a smile, waiting for my answer.
"I seem to understand a little, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, the greater the fame, the more trouble. I said thoughtfully.
"Yes, the children can be taught. The old man smiled and stroked his beard.
"Then can I leave here? My parents are still waiting for me to take care of my old age. I hurriedly asked expectantly.
"If you don't come here, you won't live for three days, this is your fate, meet me, this is your luck, your life may be rewritten in the future, you have to leave and you must cultivate here for thirty years to avoid calamity. The old man said unhurriedly.
"What? Thirty years? My parents are old, and now they are both about to be sixty, what is the point of me going out again in thirty years?" I said, a little excited.
"One year in another world, one day in the world. The old man was not angry, but said with a smile.
"Thisโ" I froze, and for a moment I couldn't come back to my senses.
"Yes, that's what you're talking about for a month. The old man was still smiling.
"Okay, I'll stay. I looked up sharply and looked the old man in the eyes.
"Then don't you kneel down to apprentice?" said the old man with an unchanged smile.
"The master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship. I said and hurriedly got down on my knees, but I was about to kowtow when I suddenly remembered something.
"Master, what's your name?" I asked, looking up.
"You'll know when the time comes. The old man said.
In that case, what else can I say? It was all so fantastic that I hurriedly kowtowed three times, and only got up with the master's permission.
There was no ceremony, and there was no tea toast, so I started practicing directly, but in the first ten years, the master just asked me to chop wood and carry water, burn a fire and cook, and read books in my spare time, the books that the master gave me.
Among them, there are medical books, what acupuncture, guidance, and stilts, which I am more interested in, which can cure diseases and save people.
Then there is what kind of magic number, what Qimen Dunjia, occupying the past and knowing the future, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, the tomb and the house, and even the photo book, what face and hand physiognomy.
I don't know why my master asked me to read these books, if it weren't for the regular exams, I would have thrown them aside.
However, there is also a book called Atrial Surgery, which is particularly interesting to me, and I have the best test score at this moment.
"Alas, you scoundrel. "After every exam, my master always says this when he looks at my results.
In the second ten years, the master finally taught me some exercises, and my understanding is like the inner strength of the mind, so I had more luck to meditate after reading the book.
However, since learning these exercises, I can finally barely keep up with Ling'er's footsteps.
Actually, I didn't believe it at first, but it wasn't until I saw my master flying around that I made up my mind to study hard.
And in the past twenty years, my appearance has not changed at all.
In the third decade, the master finally taught me kung fu, but I still do things such as chopping wood and carrying water, cooking on fire, etc.
But I'm happy to do it now, because as time goes on and I learn more and more, I gradually understand the master's intentions.
"I'll give you three moves. Ling'er's slender figure stood in front of me again.
"Senior sister, I'm not what I used to be, can you think about it?" I asked with some smugness.
"Hmph.." Ling'er scoffed at my self-confidence, she has always been like this to me, she looks like she ignores me, even if they have been together for thirty years, it is still like this, I don't know where I offended her.
"Then I'm coming. "However, under the guidance of my master, my psychological quality is not what it used to be.
I said and attacked Ling'er, I used my true qi to urge the power of my fist, and my punch was able to break the rocks.
As the name suggests, Ling'er's agile and elegant body can dazzle me every time, and this time it is the same.
After a while, I still didn't get any bargains, but fortunately, I was able to go through ten moves under Ling'er, and I thought I couldn't do it at the beginning.
"You are extremely talented, and other people's hundred-year cultivation is not as good as your thirty years. A hearty laugh came.
"Master. Ling'er hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.
"It's all taught by the master. I grabbed my head and said a little shyly.
"Hahaha, if it weren't for your talent here, I wouldn't have been able to teach you at all. The master smiled, and a sound wave came, and I kept retreating.
"Master, quickly collect your magical powers. I shouted with difficulty.
"Yes, you can resist my two true anger, and I don't have to worry about you going out. The master put away his smile as he spoke, for the first time I had seen a trace of sadness on his face.
"Master, when my parents are dead, I will come back to serve you. I said and knelt down.
I know that the time has come to separate, in the past 30 years, I have completely transformed, everything that has been, I have let go of what should be let go, and I have forgotten what should be forgotten.
The only thing that remains unchanged is my affection for the master, the only thing I dare not forget is the master's teachings, and the only thing I can't let go of is my elderly parents.
"Evil is far away for those who do good, but good is far away for those who do evil. The master looked at me with a smile and left this sentence.
"Let's go. Before I could speak, the master said this, and then the master waved his hand, and I fainted directly.
