Chapter 12: The Second Level
Wang Laodao said that if he didn't appear, he wouldn't appear, and the popcorn wouldn't collapse, but Wang Xiaobai didn't dare to be lazy, he went to class during the day and meditated at night, but after all, he was just a high school student, with heavy study tasks and a noisy surrounding environment.
Fortunately, Wang Xiaobai quickly got the hang of it, he was quieter faster, his breathing was more stable, although he slept less every day, his spirit seemed more sufficient, the benefits of cultivation were obvious, Wang Xiaobai was very excited, learning and cultivating was correct, is there anything more wonderful than this? It's just that I don't have enough time for myself.
Seven days have passed in a blink of an eye, Wang Xiaobai finished dinner, rode straight to Huangxian Temple, his spirit was a little excited, I don't know what the second level of Wang Laodao tested him was, and practiced breathing for a week, Wang Xiaobai not only felt that he was full of energy, but also seemed to have a little more strength, and he didn't feel tired when he rode to Huangxian Temple.
It's still the woods, it's still the Huangxian Temple, in the open space in front of the temple, Wang Laodao didn't wear a robe, he was wearing the popcorn clothes, sitting on the Taishi chair with a big grin, closing his eyes slightly, looking like a master, Wang Xiaobai was in good spirits, and ran over and said, "Master, I'm here." ”
Wang Laodao nodded and opened his eyes: "Xiaobai, you are doing a good job, I see it in my eyes, you are a good boy, let me tell you the truth, taking the book from Zhang Chunhua's tombstone is not a real test, the real test is to see if you can keep your promise and help Zhang Chunhua, you are a kind-hearted child, I am very happy ......"
Wang Xiaobai was stunned, and he felt that Zhang Chunhua was a hidden task, and it was really ...... couldn't help but ask: "Master, if I only take the book and don't help Zhang Chunhua, will you not accept me as an apprentice?" ”
Wang Laodao said in a deep voice: "If you don't care about Zhang Chunhua's affairs, no matter how talented you are, I don't dare to accept you as an apprentice, book, you can keep it, according to the above learning, being able to strengthen your body is also a fate between you and me, I won't come today, fortunately, you didn't let me down." ”
"Xiaobai, you have to remember that there is no way for good and evil, but people call themselves; The retribution of good and evil follows you like a shadow. Not to mention that there is no way to do good and evil, and the retribution of good and evil, you must be kind, because kindness will not let you get lost! ”
Fifteen-year-old Wang Xiaobai didn't understand Wang Laodao's words too much, and Wang Laodao didn't explain too much, he got up from the Taishi chair, picked up a backpack on the right side of the chair and said, "Let's go, it's time for you to break through the second level!" ”
Wang Xiaobai was very curious about what the second level was, and walked out of the forest behind Wang Laodao, out of the forest, Wang Xiaobai wanted to ride a bicycle and hump Wang Laodao, but Wang Laodao asked him to push the car and follow, and walked unhurriedly for more than half an hour, and came to a remote riverside, Wang Laodao opened his backpack and took out a bottle of wine, three incense sticks, and a yellow charm from it.
Wang Laodao lit three incense sticks by the river, and used the liquor in the bottle to respect the sky, the earth, and the gods, and said to Wang Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, there is a female corpse under the heart of the river, almost a hundred years, it is a drowned female ghost, a hundred years of water ghosts into a ghost, she is too resentful, if she becomes a ghost, the people nearby will be unlucky, the fish and shrimp are poisonous, the boat will capsize, and if you get close to the shore, you will be dragged into the water and drowned, and it will also cause the river to flood, causing a disaster, your second level is this female corpse." ”
The autumn in the Northeast is already very cold, Wang Xiaobai has already put on autumn pants, although the river is not frozen, but it is also cold and biting, such a cold day, to jump into the river, and fish out a female corpse that wants to become a ghost, listen to Wang Laodao's meaning, it is not a water ghost, it is more powerful than a water ghost, think about it, the water ghost has a nickname, can it not be powerful?
Wang Xiaobai felt that the first level was difficult enough, and now he knew that compared with the second level, the first level of breaking into the grave was simply trivial, Wang Xiaobai's face immediately drooped, and he looked at Wang Laodao's face and said, "Master...... Master, I can do dog shaving, or practice in blisters, the river is so deep, I'm afraid I can't do it. ”
"Don't be afraid, I'll teach you the art of fetal breathing, hold your breath after inhaling, tighten your abdomen hard, contract and concave your abdomen as much as possible, and then puff your abdomen hard to make your abdomen bulge and bulge. This causes the abdomen to rise and fall rapidly until it is difficult to exhale. This way you will hold your breath longer and longer......"
After explaining the fetal breathing technique, Wang Laodao was silent and said: "Xiaobai, I didn't expect you to be able to fish out that female corpse soon, practice hard, there is still a year before the female ghost turns a hundred years, if you can't fish it out within a year, it means that you have nothing to do with the Tao." If you retreat now, you will have no chance with the Tao, whether you break through or not in this second level is up to you, and no matter what difficulties you encounter, don't expect me to help you, I'm not your master, even if it's your master, I'm not obliged to help you, I'm not your subordinate. ”
Wang Xiaobai looked at Wang Laodao's expressionless face, a little aggrieved, feeling that Wang Laodao was a little cruel to him, the masters in the novel were kind and not like words, but Wang Laodao was cold, the gap was really a bit big, Wang Xiaobai was a character who did not admit defeat, the more Wang Laodao was like this, the more he didn't want Wang Laodao to look down on, and stomped his feet and said: "Master, I broke through this level, you tell me, what should I do?" ”
"Practice the fetal breathing technique I taught you first, and then go into the water, by the way, you have a year, this year, I will wait for you by this river at eleven o'clock every night, but you must go into the water every day, don't think about being lazy, come, sit down, I will teach you how to breathe ......"
Wang Laodao is very ruthless, but he is really dedicated to teaching Wang Xiaobai, he is not annoyed at all, a little bit of teaching, Wang Xiaobai has not understood and patiently explained, with Wang Laodao's guidance, Wang Xiaobai made very fast progress, and soon mastered some tricks, and before he knew it, two hours passed.
Wang Xiaobai originally planned to continue to consolidate and consolidate, but Wang Laodao said in a deep voice: "You should go into the water, you have to go to school tomorrow." ”
Wang Xiaobai felt warm on his body, thinking that sooner or later he would have to go into the water, so don't ink, but there is still an important thing to ask Wang Laodao: "Master, if I find that female ghost, what if she harms me?" ”
Wang Laodao picked up the yellow talisman that had been prepared a long time ago and said to him: "This is the Lingguan Zhensha talisman, stick it on the water ghost's head, she can't help you, just carry her on her back, but I don't think you need this talisman for the time being!" ”
"It's useful, it's useful, what if I correct it and find the female corpse at once?" Wang Xiaobai took Wang Laodao's yellow talisman and felt that it was still safer, but with such a yellow talisman, it must not be soaked immediately when it encounters water? Wang Xiaobai was very puzzled, he took it in his hand and looked left and right, and before he could ask, Wang Laodao saw that his doubts were coming, and said coldly: "I painted the talisman, if it can get wet in water, I am not worthy of being your master!" ”
Wang Xiaobai smiled, looking at the calm river, he had to take off his clothes, if he was soaked, he wouldn't catch a cold? I knew that the second level was going to enter the water, so it would be good to bring a down jacket, but just thinking about this, Wang Laodao said coldly: "Don't go into the water yet, wait for me to kick you down?" ”
Wang Laodao's tone was colder than the river, Wang Xiaobai didn't reply, took off his clothes, left a small Nene, and ran towards the river with a yellow fu, if it was an ordinary child, he would definitely test the river with his feet first, and then slowly go into the water, Wang Xiaobai is not, anyway, sooner or later, the more ink the more cold he feels, so he simply runs up quickly, runs into the river and slams into the river, it is called a stimulus, goosebumps all over the body are up, and the temperature of the river is colder than imagined.
Wang Xiaobai fluttered hard, so as to warm himself up, the river surface in the middle of the night, cold and silent, with a chill, only Wang Xiaobai was fluttering alone, that kind of fear and helplessness, as if innate, for a moment, Wang Xiaobai wanted to give up a little, the magic is that the yellow charm in his hand, when the water is really not soaked soft, not even wet, on the contrary, there is a little warm temperature, it can't be magical.
This is a real skill, an ordinary piece of yellow paper, just because of the symbols drawn on it, it can be so magical, which makes Wang Xiaobai strengthen his confidence to worship Wang Lao Tao as a teacher, and he will feel that his body is not so cold, according to Wang Lao Taoism, calm down and hold his breath, and then stab his son down......
The cold river water immediately wrapped Wang Xiaobai's whole body, Wang Xiaobai felt a little stiff on his body, and what was even more fucking was that he couldn't see anything, even if he opened his eyes, the water was pitch black, let alone looking for something, he couldn't even identify the direction, and the river water was too cold, so he couldn't meditate at all according to Wang Lao's Taoist fetal breathing technique, and after sinking in the water for less than a minute, he felt that his chest was about to burst, and he couldn't hold on anymore and floated to the surface.
Floating on the water, the river breeze blew, Wang Xiaobai felt frozen into ice, it seemed that even his thoughts were stiff, trembling and fluttering, looking around, it was still far from the heart of the river, Wang Xiaobai gritted his teeth, wanted to flutter twice, Wang Laodao on the shore shouted at him: "Okay, come up, practice the fetal breathing technique I taught you, and come back tomorrow!" ”
Wang Xiaobai responded, and the unconvinced Chaojiang Xin fluttered a few times, but he couldn't hold on, so he fluttered back to the shore, and as soon as he got ashore, Wang Laodao took out a blanket from his backpack and wrapped it in Wang Xiaobai, and then pointed to the liquor on the ground and said, "I left some for you, go back to school early after drinking!" ”
After explaining, he turned his head and left in a chic manner, leaving Wang Xiaobai alone and stunned, Wang Laodao is too cool, a little cruel to him, is a famous teacher a high apprentice? Still is...... Wang Xiaobai looked at Wang Laodao's distant back, and then looked at the blanket on his body and the liquor on the ground, if you really want to be cold, do you still need to prepare these things?
Wang Xiaobai felt that Wang Laodao's coldness was pretended, in order to better train himself, Wang Xiaobai trembled and picked up the liquor on the ground and took a sip, the hot feeling made him tremble fiercely, he looked at the direction of Wang Laodao's departure, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Master, I won't let you down, let alone let myself down......"
