Volume 1 Village Gossip Chapter 26 The snake crawls

"Detailed Explanation of the First Technique" is also a manuscript, and the opening chapter makes a relatively concise explanation of the master's technique. The master's technique, that is, the ancient art, the source is unknown, integrating the magic arts, the great witch, the shaman and other long-lost secret methods, so it has always belonged to a branch of the Taoist secret religion, and maintains a relative independence, so it is not surprising that the master will use the secret sect nine mandalas.

The whole book mainly records sixteen spells, and their corresponding runes and spells, and those strange words are actually golden scripts, which the master calls runes, which shows that the founding of the ancient art can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty at the earliest.

What is the first technique, it is like a sentence, it is the most basic technique, the first sixteen techniques are combined with each other, and develop into hundreds or thousands of complex techniques, the root of which is always inseparable from the first sixteen techniques.

In order to make it easier for me to remember, Master made a short poem about the Sixteen Techniques:

Exorcism,

Cure and solidify.

Now lock the death,

Hold on to the clear.

The Sixteen Techniques cover almost all aspects, and while pursuing cultivation, we also pay attention to practicality, so Master has repeatedly emphasized that this is the foundation, the foundation of the building, and if I can't understand the Sixteen Techniques thoroughly, it will be even more difficult to learn other methods in the future.

So, it was again to recite the full text......

But I paid special attention to the famous person at the end, that is, the person who wrote this book, called Akiko Cheng.

Writing this book in a form close to vernacular, it can be seen that this person is a modern person, and there is even a possibility of being alive, so I asked about the origin of this person, and I learned that Qiu Zicheng is my Taishi ancestor, that is, the master of the master's master, and he has long passed away.

Being able to write books and speak and be used shows what a great person Taishizu is.

The so-called transmission from generation to generation is like this, the knowledge of predecessors, through the continuous inheritance of future generations, to achieve endless growth.

Sometimes I am also curious about how the era of Master or Master was a time of war and turmoil, how they practiced, how they faced countless thrills and dangers, and what kind of characters they became along the way. And whether I will be able to match or even surpass them one day.

The so-called heroes are created in troubled times, and the people who can come out of the troubled times are absolutely extraordinary.

In the following month, I began to study from 5 to 9 again, and when school started, in addition to sleeping, I was accompanied by all kinds of books and texts and countless days of knowledge, which made people feel miserable and seriously underwhelmed in brain capacity.

The result is good after all, this kind of devil learning, so that I finally learned the sixteen techniques of "Detailed Explanation of the First Technique", although I have no practical experience, but it is better to memorize it backwards.

In this month, the master also completed the production of another piece of topaz, which he made into a stone tablet and carved exquisite runes, but this rune was purely decorative and had no effect.

After doing all this, the master said that he was leaving, he wanted to go back to the master's door, there were too many contents on the "Hundred Years of Catastrophe", it was too complicated, he needed to ask the master for advice and inquiry, as for when he would come next, he himself did not know. He also solemnly explained to me that I can't fall behind in my daily homework, because I have basically memorized the "Detailed Explanation of the First Technique", and the next thing I need to practice is to draw a talisman array and let it work to give effect to it. This is a hurdle that I need to overcome by myself, and Master said that I am talented and that it is not a big problem, but it has given me a lot of confidence.

In addition to this, Master also told me not to use the Golden Pattern Divine Protector at will, there are only two left, and it can only be used when my life is in danger. I also blamed Master for cursing me to have an accident because of this, and with the Sixteen Techniques, I have the capital, and even if Master is not there, I have the ability to deal with all kinds of troubles.

People always have to grow up and be on their own, and I can't always be under Master's wings.

Before leaving, we sent Master away as a family.

Although we have been together for less than two months, we are almost inseparable, and under this kind of relationship, I can be said to have a deep affection for Master, respect and worship him.

After Master left, more than a month passed, and it was mid-April, when the spring breeze was full and everything was recovering.

By the way, during this time, Grandma Shen often brought Xiao Pu to my house, and I gradually got acquainted with this well-behaved cousin who couldn't speak.

At night, I go to bed after doing evening classes every day, in my sleep, I suddenly feel a trace of coolness crawling up my body, I sleep relatively dead, as long as there is no big movement, I can't wake up, so this night I just wrapped in a quilt.

When I woke up in the morning, I realized that something was wrong, my stomach was wet with an unknown mucus, so frightened that I jumped up at once, looked left and right on the ground, and found that there were similar wet sticky marks on the ground, in the shape of long strips, and immediately my heart began to hair.

It can't be a snake!

I checked the width of the marks again, good fellow, if it were really a snake, it would have to be as thick as the mouth of a bowl!

I have seen a lot of water snakes in ordinary villages, the largest is only two fingers thick, can grow to the size of the mouth of the bowl is amazing, such a guy into my house, the chickens and ducks in the family will not have to suffer. The point is that this thing is still crawling on my body at night, and I get goosebumps all over my body just thinking about it.

I followed the wet marks until the sewer in the patio disappeared.

So I called out to my grandmother and told her that there was a snake in the house.

When my grandmother saw it, she had tattoos on the corners of her eyes, smiled, and said that it was a good thing to have snakes in the house, which meant that my family was prosperous.

I was puzzled and asked what to say.

She told me that snakes are called earth dragons in the countryside, and the dragons in the sky can't be seen, but there are always earth dragons, and snakes eat mice, which is good for crops and houses, and ordinary people will not enter snakes in their homes. Looking back, my grandmother actually felt that Master and Grandpa were masters of Taoism, and they had come to my house, which affected my family's fortune, and it was not surprising that there were snakes.

At the end she warned me not to catch the snake, or she would be unkind to me.

I'm embarrassed, but there is truth to this old saying, otherwise it wouldn't have been passed on by word of mouth.

So I was skeptical, and I didn't pursue it further.

However, after another two days, I felt something cold crawling over my body again, and this time I was alert, and even in my sleep, I woke up in an instant and lifted the quilt violently.

I saw a black shadow swoop under the bed, and I jumped up and chased after it until I reached the sewer of the patio, only to see a slender tail disappear into the hole.

The sweet dream was woken up, I scolded angrily, this guy really kicked his nose in the face, I don't bother you, you come to harass me instead!

However, it escaped, and in the middle of the night, I had nowhere to chase it.

The next morning, the phone rang at my house, and I was just finishing my morning class, and I was having breakfast, and it was my grandfather who answered the phone, and after a few words, came over and told me that the school was closed for two weeks.

I was stunned for a moment, and then I was overjoyed, but I tried not to show myself, and instead asked with a pretended regretful face, "What's wrong?" Why are classes suspended? ”

However, my grandfather still saw my overflowing joy, and said with a straight face: "Your homeroom teacher said that the school should be completely renovated, so all students will be suspended for two weeks. ”

I didn't think much of it, oh, and ate breakfast with my head down, but the corners of my mouth were already grinning.

Within half a minute, I heard someone running in from outside the door, and the ruffians appeared at the door dancing and shouted at me, "Yunyi, school is closed!" Hahaha! Liberated! Let's go fishing! ”

I looked at my grandfather with a smile and asked for his opinion, and he sighed and said, "Go ahead, let's finish breakfast first, don't get muddy!" ”

I smiled, and the three of them stuffed breakfast into their mouths, took the fishing rod they made, and went out with the ruffian.

The weather was pretty good today, the sun was shining warmly on my body, and I sat on the rocks by the river, but after a while I began to get sleepy, and the chickens pecked at the rice.

Seeing this, the ruffian pushed me and said, "Hey, Yunyi, didn't you sleep well yesterday?" Yo, why do you have such heavy dark circles? ”

"Hey," I said, waving my hand, "don't mention it, I was woken up by a snake last night, and in the middle of the night, I came out to catch the snake and didn't sleep well." ”

The ruffian looked at me suspiciously: "No, I think you're doing well at home, why is it like this for a while?" Why don't you go back and catch up on your sleep. ”

"Huh!?" As soon as the ruffian said that, I muttered to myself, and stuck out my head to look at my own reflection.

I'll go, the whole panda! It's weird......

I had no choice but to go home, my grandparents wondered how I came back so quickly, when they saw that my eyes were black, they were startled, and asked me if I had a fight with the ruffian, I shook my head, but then I began to feel that my body was heavy like a lead block, and I had no strength at all, so I went straight upstairs and fell asleep.

In my sleep, I suddenly felt something wet crawling over me, but because of the heavy sleep, I couldn't wake up even though I was conscious.

This night, I slept until noon the next day, and I didn't even have time to do the usual morning class, and when I woke up, my whole body was sore, and I was covered with a cold towel on my forehead.

Grandma was resting on a chaise longue.

When she heard my movements, she immediately woke up and asked me how I was.

I wondered, saw the pills and needles on the table, and asked my grandmother what was wrong with me.

She said that when I came back yesterday morning, I looked listless, and when I went home, I fell asleep, and when she came to touch me, she found out that I had a high fever, so she quickly asked a barefoot doctor to come and show me, prescribed medicine, and gave injections.

Then she asked me how I was feeling now.

I shook my head and said that I had no strength in my body, and my head was heavy, and I couldn't do it.

Grandma touched my forehead again and muttered, "Why is it still so hot?" ”

I didn't care about this, I just thought I had a cold, so I asked my grandmother to help me up, took out the "Detailed Explanation of the First Technique" from under the pillow, leaned on the back of the bed and read a book, but my head was a little dizzy, and the world spun when I moved.

After doing this, my grandmother ran out again, saying that she would find a doctor to see me again.

There are also one near our village, an old man in his fifties, who lives in the next village, walks for about ten minutes, and sometimes is called away to see a doctor and is not necessarily at home, he has seen me a few times, so I know each other, and his medical skills are very powerful.

So don't underestimate those wandering country doctors, who have often seen countless strange diseases, have rich experience, and have excellent medical skills.

Soon the old doctor came, his surname was Gao, we called him Doctor Gao, he carried the medicine box on his back, and as soon as he entered the door, he took my temperature, looked at it, asked and asked, and checked it all.

After a long time, I fell into deep thought, my grandparents and grandpa were there, and my grandmother asked him how my situation was and why I didn't have a fever.

Doctor Gao touched his beard, was silent for a long time, and then said, "If you don't like it, you may not be sick." ”
