Confucius took Mao and his sister to secretly come to the master's room, the black shadow was rummaging through the cabinets in the room, his hands and feet were very light, if it wasn't for Kong Qiu who found it outside before, they would definitely not be able to hear the movement in the room now.

Mao looked at Kongqiu, who waved the wooden sword in his hand, which they used to practice. They slowly approached the door, and the occupants were so engrossed in rummaging through things that they didn't pay any attention.

Then Kongqiu took the lead and rushed into the room, brandishing his wooden sword at the black shadow. Although it is a wooden sword, it is a solid peach wood, and if it is really hit, it is not played. The black shadow was taken aback, waved his hand to block, and all three wooden swords were blown away! The man saw someone coming, sighed, turned around and rushed out, and when the three of them chased out, they saw that the person was on tiptoe, and the whole person rose into the air like a big bird, and walked over the wall. The three of them looked at it stupidly, and only after a long time did they say, "It's amazing!"

When Peng Keng came back, he saw that the three of them were standing outside the room, his face sank, and he returned to the house, and after a careful inspection, he breathed a sigh of relief. He asked the man carefully, but unfortunately none of the three could see it clearly. Peng Keng stood under the wall, looked at the wall and said: "With such ability, there are few people in the world." He knew that I was not at home, so he must have seen me leave with Yanghu's family, so he must not be far away. Leave it alone, go back to sleep. Tomorrow is the New Year, don't talk nonsense when you go out. ”

The next day, after bowing to the master, Confucius and the other disciples went home. On New Year's Eve, many families start to visit their neighbors after midnight. After Kongqiu's family worshiped their ancestors, Kongqiu and his brother also went out to pay New Year's greetings to their neighbors. On the street, he unexpectedly saw the master with his junior sister and a very thick gift, going door-to-door to greet the New Year. Peng Keng has been here for two years, and he never went out to worship the New Year during the New Year, what happened this time?

Seeing Kong Qiu, Peng Keng nodded and motioned for him to come over: "I've been to see all the residents in this neighborhood, but there is no such person." “

Kong Qiu was puzzled: "Master, we didn't see his appearance, we didn't even see his figure clearly, how can we be sure?"

Peng Keng said lightly: "To practice that kind of kung fu, you can't just rely on hard work, you have to be talented." Before, I always thought that only you and Mao had such talent around here, but now that person's talent is higher than that of all of you. It's just that I can't find this person, so I don't know how long he has been cultivating. ”

Kong Qiu felt that what the master said was completely different from usual, and he didn't understand it at all. Peng Keng smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, starting tomorrow, the other students will be gone, Yu'er has grown up, I want to teach you new things." You and your mother should take a leave of absence, and you may have to stay with me for a long time.

Kong Qiu wanted to ask why the other students were leaving, but Peng Keng had already turned to leave, so he didn't ask again.

The next day, all the students ran away, and they said that Peng Keng's yard was not only full of snakes, but also haunted. It was rumored that the owner of the house was killed by gangsters when he was in exile to defend the country. Now it's time for the soul to go back to the ancestral house and make a fuss. At the same time, people also linked Yanghu to the fact that he was haunted by ghosts and snakes, saying that Yanghu's father drove away and sold other people's houses, and of course the unjust soul wanted to seek revenge on his son.

This made Yang Hu's father very nervous, and specially asked someone to ask for a few pieces from Qi State, claiming to be a god from the Taigong Temple to ward off evil spirits. Although there is also a Taigong Temple in Lu State, after all, Qi State is the descendant of the family, and the origin is always more authentic.

In the huge garden, only two students, Kong Qiu and Mao, remained. Peng Keng called the two of them to the lecture hall, asked Peng Yuer to worship again, and then told them: "What I taught you before was just some superficial skills. Starting today, I'm going to teach you my true skill – Soul Hunting. ”

From this day, Kong Qiu knew that there was such a skill in the world. It was a spell, and though Conciu was reluctant to admit it, there was no other word to describe it than that.

After only a few days of study, Kong Qiu understood that ghosts and snakes are haunted, and the house is haunted, these are all master's soul hunting techniques. He can make people see illusions, or he can make people go crazy, as long as he invades other people's shrines and controls the other party's main soul, he can control what the other party sees, hears, thinks, thinks, acts, and does.

When Kong Qiu studied for a month, he finally couldn't help but say the question in his heart: "Master, this kind of ...... Spells, isn't that terrifying?"

Peng Keng seemed to have been waiting for Kong Qiu to ask this sentence for a long time: "Yu'er also wanted to ask this, but she didn't ask; Mao didn't want to ask at all, because he thought this was the best skill in the world; only you, I know you want to ask, and I will definitely ask." ”

Kong Qiu had already thought that maybe the master had already entered his own divine hall middle palace, but his main soul could not clearly communicate with the outside world, so he didn't know.

Peng Keng said slowly: "To be honest, I don't know how to answer you best." Soul hunting is like a sharp blade, if you hold it in your hand, it is much stronger than a person with bare hands, but if you don't take it, someone else will take it, and you will have to be slaughtered by others. You can choose whether you hold it in your hand or not, and you can't decide whether someone else holds it in your hand or not. ”

Kong Qiu thought for a moment: "That's all, what if the person who took this sharp blade wants to subvert the law and confuse good and evil?"

Peng Keng looked at him: "Then it depends on which side has more people with sharp blades." Whether it's the good side or the evil side. In fact, sometimes good and evil don't mean anything at all, and if you have the opportunity to live to my age, you will understand. ”

This conversation left Confucius with countless mysteries, how could good and evil be meaningless? Master looked like he was only forty or fifty years old, did he think that he would not live to be forty or fifty years old? Judging from his ancestors, he should not have a short life, right?

Although he had doubts, the allure of soul hunting was too great. Conciu's desire to learn has never been so strong, it is a completely unknown territory, like a veiled beautiful woman, full of mysterious seduction.

This feeling must be even stronger, and his enthusiasm for learning is higher than that of Kong Qiu and Peng Yu'er. But to his dismay, he was the slowest of the three. Peng Keng told him: "You have learned very quickly. Yu'er has my blood in her body, and Kong Qiu is an unborn genius, and the three of you are better than all my previous disciples. ”

Despite Master's words, Mao was still depressed. After all, the disciples who were not as good as him before were far away in the sky, but these two disciples who were only two better than him were by his side. The only thing that made him happy was that on the night when Confucius asked Master a question, Master said to him, "Well, Kong Qiu is amazingly talented, but you should be the one who can inherit my career in the end." ”

Mao was very happy at the time, he thought it was his master's affirmation of him, and he finally overwhelmed Kong Qiu in some aspects. It was only a few years later that he realized that his fate had been sealed from then on.

When Peng Keng taught the three of them about soul hunting, he told them: "Soul hunting is an ancient magic and the root of all spells. All living things in the world have souls, but they are different in size, and dead things can have souls, but they are different in depth. Therefore, the Soul Hunting Technique can affect both living and dead creatures, depending on the level of cultivation. “

"Soul hunting techniques include Flying Soul Technique, Soul Gathering Technique, and Soul Destroying Technique.

The Flying Soul Technique is to separate one's main soul from the body, which can perceive things from the outside world, and can also invade the hearts of others, which is called the Divine Hall, and the place where the main soul gathers in the Divine Hall is called the Middle Palace.

The soul collection technique can converge the main soul, enter the realm of the void, no self and no other, ignorance and unawareness, after the soul is collected, people are like dead things, not old and immortal, not rotten and immortal.

Soul Destroying is the most dangerous of the three arts, and if Soul Destroying is like fighting, then Soul Destroying is a disaster. The Soul Destroying Technique does not carefully enter the human temple, let alone enter the middle palace to communicate with the main soul, it is pure violence. No matter what kind of scene is in the other party's shrine, it doesn't matter at all, it is directly destroyed, like a landslide and a raging flood.

However, the soul destroying technique will backfire, you fight with others with flying souls, if you are not defeated, you can also find a chance to escape; if you launch the soul destroying technique, the battle process of the main souls of the two sides is uncontrollable, the strong one wins, and it will also suffer heavy losses; the weak one dies, and the soul is scattered. Therefore, if you are not absolutely sure, you must not use the Soul Destroying Technique in a desperate way. “

Kong Qiu couldn't help but ask, "Master, since the Soul Destroying Technique is harmful and useless, why do we want to learn this technique?"

Peng Keng shook his head: "Everything has a reason, the things we can't figure out, the things we can't understand, maybe one day it will come to light." Just like Pangu opened the sky, who can know why he opened the sky?"

Mao felt that this analogy was a bit far-fetched: "Master, what you said seems to be the truth of Pangu's opening of the heavens. That's just a legend. ”

Peng Keng smiled: "King Wu is fighting, the two armies are facing each other, spells cover the sky, and monsters are rampant, is this a legend?"

Mao thought for a while and said: "It should be a legend, the Zhou Dynasty has been almost eight hundred years, and no one has ever seen a monster, let alone an immortal." ”

Peng Keng said: "Actually, it's not a legend, it's just a fight between two groups of soul hunters. Looking at the surprised appearance of the three of them, he smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, before Yin Shang, soul hunters were all over the world, and after that war, soul hunters became legends, but people said that they were monsters and immortals. ”

Seeing that the disciples were suspicious, Peng Keng took out a green worm and put it on the table. The green worm slowly got up on the table, and Peng Keng asked the disciples, "What is this?"

Peng Yuer immediately replied: "A small worm." Kong Qiu and Mao glanced at each other: "It's a small worm." ”

Peng Keng's eyes flashed, and the little worm quickly grew bigger, opened its ugly mouth, and bit the three of them!

The three of them jumped up in fright and retreated, and then there was a flower in front of them, and when they looked again, the little worm was continuing to crawl on the table.

Peng Keng said: "The so-called height of 10,000 feet and the sword are just illusions to control people's hearts. It's just that soul hunting requires extremely deep cultivation to make multiple people see illusions at the same time, and those soul hunters who let thousands of troops see illusions on the battlefield, we can only imagine. “

The three of them recovered from the fright, and Mao was the first to ask: "Master, this is the Flying Soul Technique, but the illusion is an illusion after all, it can only scare people, not hurt people, if people are not afraid, what should I do?"

Peng Keng pointed at the insect, and the bug suddenly bounced up, jumped into Mao's face with the bouncing power that this kind of bug should never have, and then bit hard.
