Chapter 8: The Five Elements Hide
Mr. Shu was not in a hurry, he looked at my stupid appearance happily, as if my reaction had been expected by him, he took two sips of wine, stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Boy, wake up, it's not over yet!" This time you don't need to do it, you just need to feel it with your heart. ”
It was only then that I came back to my senses, and when I heard Mr. Tree say this, and knew that he was about to teach me something new, I hurriedly gathered my mind and listened attentively.
Mr. Tree said: "This hiding technique is actually full of shame, and its main function is to use it to escape when you can't beat others. But there is also a little benefit, after learning, in case others can't beat you, it is not easy to slip out of your nose. Of course, I'm talking about what if! With your ability, it is estimated that you can only use it to escape. ”
I rolled my eyes when I heard this, to be honest, Mr. Tree was the only credible person named by my father before he died, and I wanted to mention respect to him, but this old guy's tone was so cheap that people couldn't respect it at all, so I had to snort and didn't reply.
Mr. Shu didn't care, and continued: "The art of hiding, to put it bluntly, is to borrow the things of the five elements to hide one's own traces, so that people can not understand their whereabouts, and it is divided into five categories, one is the escape of the mountain, the second is the diving of water, the third is the hiding of wood, the fourth is the concealment of fire, and the fifth is the mirror of gold. ”
"The escape of the mountains is to borrow the situation of the rocky land, the water is to borrow the direction of the water flow and the turbidity of the water quality, the wood is to use the dense trees, the fire is to use the fire and smoke to block the line of sight, and the golden mirror is to use the reflection of metal to make people have an illusion, understand?"
I thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Understood." ”
This time, it was Mr. Shu's turn to be stunned, and then he asked, "Do you really understand?" Don't pretend to understand! In Qimenshu, if you don't know how to pretend to understand, you will die. ”
I nodded and smiled confidently, "I really understand, but I think what you said is a little wrong." ”
Mr. Tree smiled and said, "Oh? If you're right, I'll teach you another trick, and if you're wrong, hehe, you're going to do something for me! Want to take a gamble? ”
Although I have just learned about Qimen Technique, I am quite confident in my ability to understand, and said with a faint smile: "First of all, the art of concealment is definitely not only the effect of escaping, at least it also has the effect of gathering intelligence, assassination, etc., and can even be used in battle openly, the purpose of battle is to win the battle, as for what means to use, it is not a hard and fast rule." ”
"Secondly, the art of concealment is to put it bluntly, that is, to use the things of the five elements to create favorable conditions for themselves, although I have not learned the five elements, but I also know that the five elements are the foundation of all things in the world, that is to say, if the art of concealment is used well, everything in the world can be used for their own use, it will be a very terrifying power, basically it has nothing to do with escape, who can resist with people who can manipulate the five elements?"
"In the end, the Chinese civilization for 5,000 years, these strange techniques are all tempered over the years, maybe they have been polished by thousands of strange people, to take the dross, to keep its essence, each technique has been poured into the great efforts of the predecessors, can be handed down to the present, all are the essence of the essence, how can it be described as embarrassing?"
After I finished a few words, I looked at Mr. Tree with a smile, waiting for Mr. Tree to fulfill his promise --- teach myself a hand.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Shu turned around and left, and said as he walked: "It's good that you understand the truth yourself, you must have already understood, and you can slowly explore how to use the method of hiding the art yourself!" It's not hard for you. ”
Speaking of this, he continued: "Fortunately, you didn't agree to bet with me, otherwise I would have lost miserably this time." ”
I never thought that Mr. Tree would be tricked, I didn't react for a while, how did I know at this time, Mr. Tree was shocked to the extreme at this time, he began to practice the art of hiding at the age of twelve, and only understood the essence of it when he was forty years old, and he only said it once in front of me, but he was pointed out, this shock, it is really indescribable.
This situation also made him even more worried, and his belief in his heart was even a little shaken, not knowing whether his step was right or wrong......
Mr. Shu's heart was turbulent, but his face did not show the slightest flaw, he walked to his grandfather's bed in three steps and two steps, poured a large sip of wine on the bed, and said vaguely: "If you are not hungry, go to bed, have a good night's rest, and as soon as the morning dawns, we will find the big black snake to practice." ”
Grandpa walked over with a smile, patted me on the shoulder, and motioned him to do what Mr. Shu said, I knew that grandpa had something to say to the crazy old man, and he made it clear that he didn't want to let himself hear it, so he turned around and walked out of the room, but instead of going back to his room to sleep, he had an extra heart, and hid behind the door and peeked through the crack in the door.
After the old man waited for me to get out of the house, he walked to Mr. Shu and sat down, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shu, you and the child are also Laipi, and you really have yours, your five potentials and one technique have already taught him one potential and one technique, why do you still have three hands?" Do you really want to take it into a coffin? ”
Mr. Tree's mouth was filled with wine, and he muttered as he swallowed, "You...... I don't understand (understand), and I have a lot of burden (greed...... Chew it can't be rotten, one fine and one hundred smooth, one door to all, door to door, water to nature, this child is too smart, teach too much, maybe he can figure out the evil path by himself. ”
Speaking of this, the wine in his mouth had been swallowed, and he spoke much more fluently, turned his face, glared at the old man and said: "I said old ghost, don't tell me that I can only use five powers, one technique, and six axes, or I will be rude to you." ”
The old man smiled "haha", took a sip of the wine gourd and said: "Don't worry, I will never say it, drink, drink, we two brothers haven't drunk together for twenty years, remember the last time you drank, you still came to take away the ...... of Yueshan" Speaking of this, the grandfather was sad and couldn't say it anymore.
Mr. Shu took the wine gourd, but he didn't drink it, his face became solemn, and he changed his normal color and said, "Brother, do you believe me?" ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded gloomily and said, "I don't believe who else can you believe?" If I don't believe you, I won't give my son to you, and others don't know how dangerous your business is, don't I know yet? ”
Speaking of this, he whispered: "I am different from you, I am just an ordinary person, I just hope that my children and grandchildren can live peacefully to old age." So, I want to ask Mr. Tree one thing, can I let my grandson not get involved in the hunt again? Yueshan's meaning is also not to let Xiaohua take revenge. ”
Mr. Shu's eyes turned red, his face became more solemn, and he grabbed the old man's hand and said, "Since you believe me, I will tell you everything, so that you can be prepared." ”
As he spoke, he put his mouth to the old man's ear and whispered a few words, but the voice of these words was so light that Wang Xiaohua, who was hiding at the door, couldn't hear a word at all.
The old man's face changed, and he exclaimed, "What you said is true? ”
The crazy old man nodded solemnly and said, "Absolutely true, the day after tomorrow at the latest, but my hexagram has always been very accurate, and it is estimated that it will not be able to pass tomorrow, brother, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
The old man shook his head and said: "Mr. Shu, the truth of what I asked is not about the old man and me, I don't care, but Xiao Hua reassures me, I know that you have superb spells and excellent abilities, and Xiao Hua will hand it over to you in the future." ”
Mr. Shu said slowly: "Brother, you also know that people eat a few grains of rice and drink a few bowls of water, and the heavens are predestined, manpower is invincible, people can only do their best, but they can't change the situation against the sky, fate is destined to be so, I can only do my best and listen to the destiny of heaven!" ”
I don't know what dumb riddles they were playing, but I couldn't hear the reason anyway, so I simply stopped eavesdropping, turned around and walked back to my room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and silently recalled the palm thunder that Mr. Tree had just taught him in my heart, every gesture, every mantra, engraved in my mind, and promised not to forget.
Everything depends on strength, and I have long understood this truth.
I didn't sleep comfortably, and I had three nightmares in a row.
The first dream was when I was lying on my father's corpse and crying bitterly, but my father suddenly sat up, grabbed my hand, and shouted, "Run! I'm about to find you! ”
The second nightmare was that my grandfather was also dead, and another grandfather dressed in white was standing next to my grandfather's corpse, waving at me, his face full of worry. I tried to run over, but I found that I had also reached my grandfather's side, and then my grandfather began to crumble, first into small pieces like catkins, and then into dust and disappeared without a trace.
The third nightmare was that I was also dead, and it was I who killed me, I took a sharp knife in my hand, plunged it deep into my chest, the tip of the knife pierced into my heart, and then rotated the handle of the knife, peeling away my heart layer by layer.
Bright red blood gushed out, but when it dripped to the ground, it all turned into black ink, dyeing the ground black, this black kept expanding, Infinity extended, and in a short time it encompassed everything, and the whole world was pitch black, and there was no light at all.
I wanted to scream, but I couldn't make a sound, I wanted to escape, but I couldn't move my feet, I wanted to fight, but I found that one of my hands was stuck to the hilt of the knife, and I couldn't take it off.
At this moment, the big black snake suddenly appeared beside me, opened its hideous mouth, and bit me on the head, and a powerful suction force immediately came from the top of my head, and the whole body was devoured by the big black snake little by little.
"Ahh I struggled to wake up, and outside the window, a ray of sunlight came in, bright and bright.
God, it's already dawn~!
