The five colors on this dilapidated book are gold, woody, aqua, fiery red, and dull earthy yellow.

That's right, these five colors correspond to the five elements in Chinese legends.

What the? What are the five elements, you ask?

Let me tell you this way, the so-called five elements are the elements that Taoists believe make up the whole world, which are the elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

These five elements are mutually reinforcing, and there is a relationship that says that if you don't clean up, you will still be messy.

"The so-called five elements generally refer to gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and it seems that this basic technique of the five elements should be very interesting." With great interest, I hurriedly reached out and picked up the worn-out book.

The first thing that caught my eye was five powerful characters.

These five characters are the title of this book, called "Five Elements Basic Techniques".

Under the title of the book, "Five Elements Basic Techniques", there is also a line of small light blue letters.

It reads, "The five elements of this book, compiled by the Heavenly Ghost Sect".

"The five elements of this book are compiled by the Heavenly Ghost Sect? What does this phrase mean? I stared at the small light blue print and pondered what it meant.

In fact, the meaning of this line of small characters is very simple, it is nothing more than this book, that is, the basic technique of the five elements, compiled by the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

But I have never heard of what kind of sect the Heavenly Ghost Sect is, so it is inevitable that I will be a little confused and uneasy.

"It said above, this Five Elements Basic Technique was compiled by the Heavenly Ghost Sect, so will it cause trouble if you learn this Sect Technique by yourself?" My fingers went back and forth on the cover page, never opening the book.

Because I'm afraid, I'm afraid that once I open this book, I'll get into some unnecessary trouble.

"From the mouth of the strongest Taoist priest, I know that there are indeed some Taoist sects in the world, and these sects either retreat or decline or struggle to support, but one thing is the same, they will not easily leak their own Taoist skills, because the Taoist skills of the sect are the foundation of the sect, and they dare not and will not leak it, but now they ...... "But now I have used the strange code to obtain the Taoist skills of other sects, and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."

I didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, and I was suddenly a little uncertain.

But soon, my eyes gradually became firm: "Even if I don't want to, I will also choose and exchange this Dao technique, so I still have to hurry up and learn, after all, the third trial period task will start this month." ”

Thinking of the horror of the probationary mission, I knew that I had no choice: "Although it is said that learning other people's Dao techniques without permission will cause unnecessary trouble, if you are lucky enough, you may not be able to meet someone from the Heavenly Ghost Sect in your life." ”

If I can't meet someone from the Heavenly Ghost Sect, or if I can't meet someone who is familiar with this Dao technique, then the Dao technique I secretly learned will not be recognized, so that I won't get into any trouble.

"Well, that's it, I can't take care of it so much." After figuring everything out, I slowly opened the Five Elements Basic Technique and came to the first page of the book.

Immediately afterwards, a creepy scene was suddenly staged.

A ghost head with a pitch-black body suddenly jumped into my eyes from the front page.

I was shocked, and I quickly looked at it, and finally found that the ghost head that suddenly jumped into my eyes turned out to be a portrait of a ghost head carved in the center of the home page.

This portrait of a ghost head is depicted so vividly that at first glance, it looks like it is really a living ghost head.

"It turned out to be just a portrait of a ghost." Knowing that the ghost head was not real, my soul calmed down a little.

Waiting for my soul to settle down, I took a closer look at the ghost-headed portrait.

Seriously, this ghost portrait is nothing more conspicuous than a little weird.

But if I had to pick a prominent spot, I'd probably choose the sides of the ghost's head.

Because on both sides of this ghost portrait, a few lines of small black letters are written crookedly.

"The Five Elements Dao Technique of this sect is different from the rest of the sects."

"The Five Elements Dao Technique of the rest of the sects, the cultivation process and the method of cultivation are all masculine and upright, but the Five Elements Dao Technique of this sect is extremely yin and evil, and it is the method of overcoming yin with yin."

"This method will cause the cultivator's yin qi to change his temperament drastically, or he will be restless or irritable or vicious, so I would like to advise you here, if you don't have enough courage and determination, don't practice this sect technique."

"The cultivation process of this sect is extremely difficult, most of the things needed are related to ghosts, and anyone who is too involved with ghosts will suffer the pain of yin and yang inversion, please practice carefully."

After reading these lines of small black print, I was amazed.

Because of the content expressed in these few lines of small black letters, it is alerting me who wants to practice this Dao technique.

After all, from the analysis of these few lines of small black characters, the Five Elements Dao Technique of the Heavenly Ghost Sect has found a different way, taking the road of overcoming yin with yin.

Although I don't know what is Yin to overcome Yin, judging from the consistent saying that Yang overcomes Yin, the so-called Yin to overcome Yin is to use Yin Qi to restrain Yin.

But the yin energy itself is a blending thing, so how can the yin energy be used to restrain the yin energy? Is this counterintuitive? After all, Taoists have always said that it is the great road of the world to overcome yin and yang to cause yin and yang to merge.

However, this method of overcoming yin with yin has violated the Taoist statement.

It's just a matter of going against the Taoists' own sayings, and cultivating this Taoist technique of overcoming yin with yin will actually lead to a great change in the temperament of the cultivators.

A big change in temperament is a big deal, after all, I don't want to change my original temperament.

Moreover, in addition to changing his temperament, cultivating this Dao technique also requires contact with many ghosts.

In this way, I will be haunted by yin qi and cause yin to flourish and yang to decline.

As far as I know, once a living person falls into a state of yin and yang decline, they will be confused day and night, or they will be haunted by evil spirits!

If I hadn't gotten the code, maybe I wouldn't have believed in the idea that yin and yang are in decline, and that there were evil spirits in the world.

But from the moment I got the code, I knew that the world was more terrifying than I imagined, and I couldn't let myself be in a state of being haunted by evil spirits.

I retreated, I didn't want to practice this Dao technique anymore, I was going to give up.

Because the price of cultivating this Dao technique is too great, and I can't afford it at all.

Feeling unwilling, I simply threw the book aside and didn't look at the rest of the pages.

After tossing the books aside, I looked empty-hearted at the hospital room, at the lights hanging over the ward.

The lights are dim and withered, like me, like the lifeless deep winter.

This deep winter, formed by the lights, gradually enveloped me, and plunged me into an extremely cold feeling.

It was cold, it was so cold, I couldn't help but pull the quilt and curl up in the bed.

With the shelter of the bed, I slowly closed my tired eyes and fell asleep.

In my sleep, the air was cold and the rain was continuous.

I stood in the rain and looked at the sky, at the girl floating in the sky.

The girl looked very strange, with a long blood-red head, a terrifying black face, several purple and red hands and feet, and a terrible green neck.

The blue dress on her body fluttered in the wind, obscuring her vision and covering the entire sky.

I looked at the girl, and the girl looked at me with empty eyes.

As if at this moment, time was no longer important, I just had to look at her, and she just had to look at me.

But the good times didn't last long, and countless black snakes devoured me, and also devoured the girl in the sky.

Immediately afterward, the dream swayed and turned.

I'm still standing in the rain, still looking at the sky as the rain falls.

But there was no more girl in the sky, only two familiar faces faintly appeared.

These two familiar faces were bound to the sky by countless chains, and no matter how much they struggled, they couldn't move, but it was really miserable.

Seeing this tragic scene, I couldn't help but scream: "Dad! Mom! ”

As soon as I shouted, I suddenly opened my eyes and woke up from my hospital bed.

When I realized that everything was just a dream, I felt an endless sense of loss in my heart.

What does this dream portend? Are Mom and Dad really trapped? I shook my head in frustration as I crawled out of the covers.

As soon as I crawled out of the bed, several voices rang out.

"Mr. Liang, you finally woke up, if you don't wake up, the millet porridge provided by the hospital will be cold."

"Since Mr. Liang has woken up, let's eat early, which is good for the body."

I looked around the bed a few times and saw that it was a man and a woman who were talking.

I also recognize this man and woman, it is the doctor surnamed Zhuang who has nursed Meng Xiaonuan.

"What millet porridge? Is it already morning? I leaned my back against the edge of the head of the bed and rubbed my eyes.

"Mr. Liang is really forgetful, you have slept all night, and now of course it is the next morning." Dr. Zhuang put the back of his hand to my forehead and said with a smile, "The body temperature is not high or low, it seems that Mr. Liang is recovering well." ”

"And when will I be discharged?" I swept away the sorrow in my heart and stared at Dr. Zhuang with hope.

Dr. Zhuang pulled away the back of his hand and turned to look at the instrument standing beside the bed: "Mr. Liang, your heartbeat and blood pressure have gradually returned to normal, but because your blood oxygen saturation is too low, you still have to be hospitalized for a few days. ”

"How many days?" I suddenly came to my senses, and I felt full of life: "I will be discharged from the hospital in a few days?" ”

"Three days and three nights, to be exact." Dr. Zhuang left the instrument and put his head close to my cheek: "Your face is very good, you can be discharged from the hospital after three days." ”

"That's good, that's good." I was so happy that I had words.

Seeing that I was so happy, Dr. Zhuang frowned: "Mr. Liang, I understand the reason why you are happy, but happiness is happiness, and you still have to eat three meals a day on time, so let's ask Xiao Nuan to always pay attention to your diet and rest for the past three days." ”

"Okay." I answered, and put the smile on my face.

Immediately afterwards, after Dr. Zhuang explained to Meng Xiaonuan a few times, he left the ward directly.

Meng Xiaonuan, who stayed in the ward, first glanced at me a few times, and then slowly picked up a bowl of millet porridge with an excellent image.
