As the master shouted, "Gen! The figure of that man became faint again, and it didn't take long for him to disappear completely from my field of vision.

This time, without waiting for me to ask, Master took the initiative to explain: "Pressed under the talisman is a piece of camphor wood that has been rubbed with spiritual grease. Our Xiaolongtan handed down this painting skin, is not only a technique, but also a craft, pay attention to the painting of the god does not draw the shape, the painting is not real, when the pen is raised, the mind and mind are united, there can be no half point of difference, once the mind is scattered, you are useless no matter how good the painting is. ”

"Master, did you draw that person just now?"

"The person I painted was on the camphor wood, and what came out of the camphor wood could only be regarded as a hollow skin. Alas, the young man has no more than two days to live, and what we can do now is to give him this skin, so that he can spend the last two days like a normal person.

I ran to the table: "Can I see that wooden scalp?" ”

The master was silent for a while, and then opened the rune paper: "Look. ”

I lay on the table and looked at the veneer carefully, but found that the oil on it had disappeared, so I wondered: "What is the matter with this, that layer of oil?" ”

"Once the spirit is exhausted, the spirit fat will be dull." Master explained, "Actually, this thing can't be classified as oil, it's a special spiritual charm extracted from mountains, rivers, plants and trees, and its nature is similar to demonic energy, which is visible to the naked eye. ”

When the master spoke, I used my hands to rummage through the piece of bark, which made the master suddenly nervous: "Don't rummage, this thing is precious, we already owe Qiao Laosan a lot of money, if he breaks his camphor wood chips again, he will definitely have to take the opportunity to blackmail me." ”

"Huh? I didn't think it was worth a lot of money. ”

"It's a valuable material, but it's even more expensive, and it's not easy to cut wood so thin. I'm just in a hurry to paint the skin, and I don't have time to get this, otherwise the wood chips I cut out are much thinner than this. In fact, the best material for painting leather is not this kind of veneer, but other materials are too resentful, and we basically don't use this vein. ”

"Anything else?"

"Yes. The materials for painting the skin are divided into three grades, the camphor wood chips are the lowest first-class, and the second-class materials are demon skins that are plucked alive from the thousand-year-old dog spirit, which must be peeled alive, and it is useless when it dies. You guess what the best material is. ”

"I don't want to guess."

The corners of Master's eyes twitched suddenly, and it took a long time before he lowered his face and spit out two words from his mouth: "Human skin." ”

When he spoke, those eyes became ghostly again, and I accidentally glanced at him, and a layer of goosebumps immediately appeared on my body: "Master, why did your eyes change?" ”

My master realized that something was wrong, and quickly took a deep breath, and his eyes returned to their usual gentleness: "I saw a lot of things when I was a child, so I became like this, and it was because I was afraid of scaring people, so I wore sunglasses all day long. ”

"But Master, you don't seem to have been wearing it since yesterday."

"When I was wiping my glasses the day before yesterday, I accidentally broke the temples of my glasses, and I don't know if there is an optical store nearby, so I have to find someone to repair it when I have time. Xiaodong. ”

"Huh?"

"Our Xiaolongtan's nine unique arts, everything can be used to save people, and it can also be used to harm people, it is a good art, but also an evil art. You have to remember one sentence, there is no distinction between good and evil, good and evil depend on people's hearts, and magic is right and evil, it all depends on what you do with it. ”

"Oh. Master, do you usually use them to save people, or do you use them to harm people? ”

"Of course it's to save people, Master has never used our own magic to harm people."

At this time, the faint voice of Qiao Sanye came from the door of the house: "You are talking nonsense." ”

Seeing the resentful look on Qiao Sanye's face, I suddenly remembered the various scenes of him lying on the ground at noon the day before yesterday.

My master gave him a blank look: "Get out!" ”

After a while, the master came back to his senses: "Done? ”

Qiao Sanye wiped his hands with a handkerchief, raised his foot and crossed the threshold: "I'm done." ”

"Aren't you a cold cellar, why didn't you see you pulling the wire?"

"I'm sure I can get the refrigeration equipment, but do you have the money to buy electricity? Last year, I asked someone to buy two Yin talismans from the ghost market, and they were posted in your cellar, and the Lingyun on it is estimated that it can be used for two months, and then you will pay some Lingyun up, and the refrigeration should be no problem. ”

"I forgot to ask you, did you see who answered the surname Zhou last night?"

"It's a ...... Although you can afford to mess with someone, you definitely don't want to mess with someone. ”

"Who is it that way?"

"Is that interesting, you ask? With your temper, can you still find other people's sects and settle accounts with others? If you want to say that with your own being, it's no problem to destroy his sect, hey, if you are really willing to destroy his sect, I will tell you who he is. ”

Master frowned and stopped talking.

Qiao Sanye probably felt that he was a little excessive, and added: "I have already asked someone to report the matter of Zhou Liar to that guy's sect, and his sect will also deal with him without you doing it." Well, you're officially settled here, and if there's nothing else to do, I'll leave this afternoon. I also completed the admission procedures for Xiao Dongzi, and I also paid him this year's tuition, so you can find a time to take him to the school to report tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

The master immediately spoke: "You can't leave now, Xiaodong will have to wait for a while before he can go to school." ”

"What's the matter, you have something else to do?"

Master's face sank: "The one who took the exorcism charm from the door yesterday was not a tanuki spirit. ”

Qiao Sanye also frowned: "Who is that?" ”

"It's hard to say for now." Master shook his head and said, "I ask you to do something, don't shirk it." ”

"Look at what you said, when did I refrain from what you asked me to do?"

"The one surnamed Lu should be the one who stole the door from Jing Chu, I want to ask you to steal the gilded hand stove in his hand, and I want to make some arrangements on it. No one else can do this except you. ”

"Hehe, just for your last sentence, I can't shirk it. What about your little dongzi, why can't you go to school for the time being? ”

"I'm going to pass on his stealth and his hands to him, and he must practice diligently during this time, not for a day."

"Okay, I'll wait until Xiao Dongzi enters school before leaving, I've been with this kid for a while, and I'm really reluctant to leave suddenly."

As soon as he said this, Master's eyes immediately became vigilant.

In the past, when Qiao Sanye watched Master's box, Master also looked at him with this kind of look.

Qiao Sanye also looked helpless: "It's not like robbing the apprentice with you, look at you like that!" ”

As he spoke, Qiao Sanye quickly turned around and went out like a gust of wind.

I think he may have remembered the talisman that Master had put under his armpit again.

When Master talked about teaching me how to hide and use hands, I was quite excited, and after seeing his methods of dealing with powerful ghosts and tanuki spirits, I couldn't help but feel that I was not excited, but later I realized that practicing is really not as simple as I imagined.
