After thinking about this, I hurriedly said to the old man who carved the monument: "Grandpa, you still teach me!" The village was my grandfather and I roots, and the villagers were the elders who watched me grow up and the brothers and sisters who grew up with me. Even if his grandfather is here, he will never stand idly by and watch this kind of thing because of danger. Please, since you have a way, you must help the people in our village no matter what! ”

"Alas, you!" The old man sighed, looking at his expression, although there was a helpless look in it, but more, it seemed to be relieved. Sure enough, he said to me, "I knew you were going to tell me that." You, like your grandfather, are stubborn people in your bones. Difficulties can stop your steps, but they can't stop your hearts. Whenever possible, as long as there is a reason, you are willing to take this step at the risk of your life for a while. Alas, well, that's also your fate. Don't worry, Xiao Guanzi, since you worship me as a teacher, I won't hide my ability, as long as I will, as long as I have it, I can give it to you at any time. ”

I hurriedly thanked the old man, and the old man waved his hand and said no.

Then he turned around and went inside. When he came out after a while, there was a small wooden box in his hand that looked very quaint.

He took the wooden box in his hand, but he wouldn't give it to me. Sitting down in front of me, his two hands gently caressing the box, as if he were caressing his lover, delicate and gentle.

After a long while, he said to me: "Xiao Guanzi, that is, you, if you change someone else, I will never give this thing." But now that you need it, you can take it. ”

As he spoke, he handed me the box.

I just wanted to take the box from him, but I saw Jiang Yifeng cut off his beard halfway and took it. Then, the lid of the box was opened.

I noticed that the old man's face changed on the spot, and before he could speak, I saw Jiang Yifeng lean back suddenly.

Before I could see what was happening, Jiang Yifeng had already fallen to the ground because the angle of leaning back was too great, and there was a snow-bright dagger stuck in the ground not far from him.

Jiang Yifeng was lying on the ground, frightened.

I was also so frightened that my eyes straightened.

The old man was relieved to see that nothing had happened. Standing up angrily, he stepped forward in a few steps, snatched the box in Jiang Yifeng's hand suddenly, and closed it with pity.

Jiang Yifeng got up from the ground and said to the old man: "You old man, if you don't give it to me, forget it, why are you still plotting against me?" ”

"Am I trying to plot against you?" The old man slapped the table and said hatefully, "They all tell you to be steady, to be steady, why are you always so frizzy?" If you weren't lucky, this dagger could kill you directly! Did You Know? ”

Jiang Yifeng knew that he was at a loss, so he snorted and didn't say anything more.

The old man glared at him fiercely, and then handed me the box in his hand again. And after what happened just now, I was so frightened that I didn't have the heart to open it.

"Actually, this thing is not mine. It was given to me by a Taoist leader twenty years ago. At that time, he ordered a tablet from me, I saw that he was immortal, wanted to make a friend, chose good materials, helped him carve a tablet, but did not take his money. The Taoist chief is also a sensible person, where can I suffer in this kind of thing? He insisted on refusing, and I insisted on not wanting to, and in the end, he came up with a compromise. Inside is a small flag, one of the magic weapons that he has cultivated himself. Although it can only be used once, it has a lot of energy. Especially to restrain the kind of ghosts you encounter, with mantras and formations, it should be foolproof. ”

"Grandpa, did you really give me this thing?" I really can't believe that the old man gave me such an important thing.

The old man smiled and said, "I have kept it by my side for twenty years, and I have never used it. If I put it down, it will only be one thing to accompany me into the soil in the end. You're useful now, and of course you're going to use it. Big deal, when you run out of this time, you can just give it back to me. Anyway, I stayed with it just as a thought. ”

I nodded, thanked the old man again, and carefully hugged the box. Feel the weight of the box.

The old man wrote down the mantra and the arrangement of the ghost collection formation on a piece of paper, handed it to me, and then said to me very seriously: "Xiao Guanzi, there is a sentence that I have to remind you in advance. Although I taught you the mantra and how to fold, I also gave you this flag. But you have to swear to me that you can only use it once, not a second time. Because at that time, the Taoist chief told me that this flag is a disposable magic weapon, and if you use it once, it will be useless. You're not really a ghost hunter and haven't studied for a day. If you don't have a magic weapon to protect yourself, and rashly use the mantra of the Daomen, not only will you not be able to save others, but something big will happen! Do you understand? ”

I nodded my head in agreement, but became interested in it again. I asked, "Is this any different?" Haven't you learned it, aren't they all the same? ”

"Hehe, Xiao Guanzi, you still have too few things to experience." The old man shook his head at me and said, "You must know that the reason why you have to be led by the master to learn the Dao Fa is why the master has to lead you through the door?" It is because only if you have a teacher, only if you have an authentic teacher, can you be recognized by the ancestors of the past generations. After officially entering the master's door, there will be an awarding ceremony, and awarding you a talisman is to give you a position in the fairy world. Only with this position can you have the power to dispatch troops. If you don't have a confession, you have to forcibly use other people's methods and formulas, then the situation is a little better, and the Yin soldiers and Yin generals will ignore you. If you don't do it well, they will treat you as an evil demon, and it is not necessary to kill you directly! So, don't just learn a few spells and go around using them, that's going to be a big deal. ”

"Yes, grandpa, I see."

In the past, I didn't know about these things, but when I communicated with the old man who carved the monument, I understood a lot.

Jiang Yifeng and I had dinner with the old man here, and waited until it was dark before returning to the hotel to rest. The next morning, we set off for the village.

In order to enhance the memory, lest something happen at the time, and the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, on the way back to the village, I re-studied the mantras and formations written to me by the old man several times.

Jiang Yifeng was not very interested in this mantra and formation, but liked the little flag very much. Hold it in your hand along the way, fiddling with it non-stop.

I saw it in my eyes, and I secretly planned it in my heart. When this matter is over, maybe I can go and beg the old man to engrave the monument and give this little flag to Jiang Yifeng, or let him play for a few more days.
