Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Taoist Priest and the Exorcist

Yuan Fan turned his head to look at Ding Yichen, "That's right! This is the simplest exorcism! ”

"That's how you saved me?"

"It was hard to save you at that time," Yuan Fan walked up to Ding Yichen, "These two wolf ghosts should have just formed, and their abilities are not strong, so it's easy to dismiss." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the ghost who brainwashed Wan Kun at the beginning is much stronger. Belch...... It's not accurate to say that, it should be said that it's a lot of trouble. ”

Ding Yichen nodded and said, "I seem to feel a lot more relaxed, thank you so much." ”

The two suddenly fell into an embarrassing silence, Yuan Fan thought for a moment and broke the awkward atmosphere, "I'll use two more spells to restore your spirit to the best state!" ”

Yuan Fan took out a condensing talisman, a refreshing talisman, and two spells that could keep people's mental state in a good state. Yuan Fan opened his hand to let the two spells fly towards Ding Yichen, and the green light of the two spells wrapped Ding Yichen in, and Ding Yichen naturally closed his eyes to feel the effect of the spells.

It didn't take long for the green light to slowly disappear, and Ding Yichen opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Fan.

"Thank you......" After being quiet for a long time, Ding Yichen just opened his mouth to say this.

"It's okay, there's only so much I can do for you! I hope you can do well this time! Yuan Fan said with an indifferent look.

Ding Yichen finally nodded, and walked towards the teaching building by himself. Seeing Ding Yichen leaving, Yuan Fan took a long breath.

"Am I too kind, this girl kicked me! There's no way, just do her a little favor at the end! ”

Yuan Fan shook his head and walked towards the teaching building, where the afternoon comprehensive science exam was about to start.

A day later, when Yuan Fan handed in the English papers, he felt that his whole person was twenty pounds lighter, and he felt like he was about to float, which was so relaxing!

Of course, Ding Yichen just said hello to Yuan Fan and left the examination room, Yuan Fan felt that his intersection with her might be the last point!

As soon as he returned home, Chen Chuan's WeChat arrived, he gave Yuan Fan a week to prepare, and he would start the arduous exorcism training from next week, striving to improve Yuan Fan's exorcism level by a step before entering the mausoleum, if he could, it was best to let him master all kinds of medium-grade attacks and auxiliary spells before entering the mausoleum.

And it took Yuan Fan a month to master a fixed army talisman from time to time, and Chen Chuan asked him to understand the rest of the spells in another month, which was completely impossible.

However, in order to be able to go further in the mausoleum, Yuan Fan also felt that it was not a bad thing to learn more things, maybe the last treasure would fall into his hands?

Just after the end of the college entrance examination, Yuan Fan's classmates began to plan for the almost three-month summer vacation, learning to drive, traveling, and almost the second day after the exam, everyone began to get high. As for Yuan Fan, he began to sort out the mid-level "Sleeping God Laughing and Forgetting Book", sorting out the content on the photos on the electronic version every afternoon and evening, and in the morning, he now goes to Shushang Pavilion every day to practice martial arts, so after a week, Chen Chuan's call came.

"Yuan Fan, I'm in Beijing, I'll give you training from tomorrow, I rented a dance rehearsal room, I'll send you the address later, and you can arrive at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Yuan Fan thought to himself, rented a dance rehearsal room? How does it sound weird. He looked at the address given by Chen, which was not far from his home.

Early the next morning, Yuan Fan rushed to the rehearsal room at 8 o'clock, but he didn't expect Chen Chuan to arrive earlier than himself, and Chen Chuan was very surprised to see Yuan Fan come so early.

"So early? I thought you were done with the college entrance examination and you had to sleep lazy every day! ”

"What a lazy sleep! Isn't it underestimated? After the exam, this week, I got up early every day to go to the Shushang Pavilion to practice martial arts! Yuan Fan said proudly.

Chen Chuan nodded, and said appreciatively: "I heard you say that the art is still in the Pavilion, although I don't care about martial arts and let you practice by yourself, but I still hope that you can learn in a place where you can really improve yourself." So, I asked an old friend of mine to go there to see it, that Meng Yuan's skills are indeed extraordinary, and the teaching concept is also very interesting, I hope you can practice your martial arts well from him, and you can also have a chance to escape when you encounter evil ghosts, right? ”

Originally, Yuan Fan was quite happy when he heard Chen Chuan's meaning, but in the end, he actually said that he practiced martial arts in order to escape, isn't this belittling the lofty ideal of learning martial arts, "Master, what are you talking about!" Let me tell you, I study exorcism and martial arts, and I will definitely fight the evil ghosts in the end! Don't believe it, you have to know, even Xiang Yu was defeated by me, what else can't I do? ”

Chen Chuan touched the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "It's good that you have this ambition, then let's start a new round of exorcism learning today!" ”

Chen Chuan touched his chin Yuan Fan suddenly found that this old man had actually grown the beard on his chin, and he hadn't paid attention to it in the dream last time. Although it is still gray and white, it is not the kind of pure white that looks like a master outside the world, but after having a beard, it seems to have a little bit of fairy wind bones.

Chen Chuan and Yuan Fan came to the center of this dance hall, and Chen Chuan said: "It is said that it is a new round of learning, but in fact, it is the first time that I have started to teach you exorcism. I took you through a few exorcisms before, and I originally wanted you to understand and familiarize yourself with exorcisms, but I didn't expect you to perform beyond my expectations every time. Coupled with your understanding of the elementary book "Sleeping God Laughing and Forgetting Book", I have to say that I am very pleased with your hard work in the past six months. ”

As he spoke, he opened his magical backpack again and took out a dozen or so clay figures from it, "So, since you have decided to let you go to the mausoleum with you, I think this is a good time to start learning about exorcism in earnest." So where do you think I'd like to start? ”

Chen Chuan looked at Yuan Fan, Yuan Fan originally thought that Chen Chuan was going to take out the clay figurine for something, and his attention was focused on that, but he didn't expect Chen Chuan to suddenly start asking where he wanted to start.

"Uh...... This ......" Yuan Fan thought for a moment, "I will learn from wherever my master teaches, I don't choose!" ”

Chen Chuan listened and said, "Then what if I insist that you choose one aspect for me to talk about first?" ”

"This ...... Let's start with the formation! After all, I've been exposed to a lot of spells, I don't know much about formations, and this place doesn't seem to be a place where you can do alchemy. Yuan Fan said after comparing it in his heart.

Chen Chuan nodded, "Very good, someone said that what kind of people we become is not because of what kind of traits we have, but because of what choices we make." The fact that you can choose to start with the most difficult formations and challenge the difficulty, rather than simply start with spells, also proves that you have the courage to rise to the occasion. ”

Yuan Fan was very proud when he heard this, and secretly thought, I was very courageous, didn't one of the three levels of your division be brave?

"But I'm not going to start with the three methods of exorcism today, but with the exorcist." Chen Chuan continued, Yuan Fan rolled his eyes in his heart, then where did you ask me to start talking?

"In fact, the matter of exorcism has existed since ancient times, and for a long time, people who exorcise demons and demons are called exorcists. Since Lao Tzu pioneered Taoism and Buddhism was introduced to China, exorcists have gradually been divided into three schools. The first faction is the exorcist composed of Taoist priests, adhering to Lao Tzu's natural thoughts, in fact, the original Taoist attitude towards ghosts and monsters is the same as ours, ghosts are just the continuation of people, most of them are incapacitated, in the can help them, to lend a hand, when they are confused, to unravel them, to help them return to the underworld, re-enter reincarnation. ”

Yuan Fan heard that the concept of this Taoist priest was really similar to that of an exorcist, but he couldn't see it at all from that Sun Chengzhen at the beginning. "Huh? No, what's going on with Sun Chengzhen? Does he belong to a special Taoist priest? ”

Chen Chuan shook his head and said, "Compared to other exorcists, Taoist priests can be said to be the first to organize exorcisms, so their system and status are slowly much higher than those of other exorcists. What happens when a person is in a state of superiority for a long time? ”

"Maybe it's going to be unsightly?" Yuan Fan thought about what it would be like if he was always superior.

"It is likely that this is the case, one or two Taoist priests have no one in their eyes, and later the Taoist priests as a whole feel that they should be the leader of the exorcists, the pioneer of the exorcism, and the most orthodox branch of the exorcists. That's the problem. There are indeed a few powerful exorcists among the Taoist priests, and they also have their own set of exorcism systems, but you can't look down on others just because you have been in a group early and become a big group! ”

Yuan Fan nodded, but he felt that people had a strength gap with you, and they still had certain qualifications to look down on you.

What makes the exorcists even more incomprehensible is that some Taoist priests actually think that ghosts are evil things in the world and should be eliminated to calm the world! This completely goes against the original intention of the exorcists in the first place, and this kind of voice slowly became mainstream among the Taoist priests, and because of their strength, the Taoist priests felt that the ideas of all exorcists should be changed according to the Taoist consciousness, so they began to exclude and attack other exorcists. ”

Yuan Fan frowned, "In this case, that's terrible!" Why are these Taoist priests so unreasonable? ”

"It's stronger than people, and it's normal to be unreasonable. The second school of exorcism is the monk, that is, the Buddhist. Buddhism is introduced to China from abroad, and the concept of ghosts and gods of Buddhist disciples is a little different from ours, they generally believe that since ghosts exist in heaven and earth, then there is naturally a reason for their existence, so there is no need to get rid of them, nor do they need to send them to the underworld, if there are ghosts disturbing people, then they can fight back, if there are ghosts asking for them to come to the door to let them exceed, then they can help these ghosts in need. ”

Yuan Fan scratched his head, "This sounds like it's even more inactive than the Taoist Dao Method!" Some people don't offend me, I don't offend people. ”

"That's true, the exorcism of Buddhism can be said to be very close to our most traditional concept of exorcism, but there are too few real Buddhist disciples, most Buddhist disciples either only believe in Buddhism, no ability to exorcise demons, or have the ability to exorcise demons, not very proficient in Buddhism, it is better to say that it is an ordinary exorcist disciple of Buddhism."

"And the third faction is a small organization of scattered exorcists. And my ancestral exorcist is also one of these organizations, and it is a relatively large 'small organization'. Chen Chuan finally began to introduce his own lineage, "During the Song Dynasty, there were two major factions of Taoism, Southern Ziyang and Northern Chongyang. Chongyang Zhenren's disciples are all over the world, and it can be said that this faction is the mainstream of Taoist priests. And Ziyang Zhenren lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests most of the time, and has fewer disciples. And the ancestor of my faction is the ability to exorcise demons learned from Ziyang Zhenren. ”

"Since you are a disciple of Ziyang Zhenren, why don't we call our faction a Taoist priest and call it an exorcist?" Yuan Fan asked suspiciously.

"That's because, that ancestor of mine has a very high talent for exorcism, but the talent for learning the Tao ......" Chen Chuan made a helpless expression, "It can be said that there is no at all, so Ziyang Zhenren doesn't want to mistake his reputation, so he is only willing to teach my ancestor the ability to exorcise demons, and refuses to accept him as a disciple." ”

"However, the name exorcist was given by Ziyang Zhenren, because my ancestor's exorcism talent is too high, and his ability to exorcise demons far surpasses the many sitting disciples of Ziyang Zhenren. Ziyang Zhenren took a fancy to my ancestor and hoped that he could lead the Taoist exorcists at that time to the right path, so he named our lineage 'exorcist'. And Master Zu did create some fame, of course, this was also besieged by the Taoist priests who changed their minds. ”

"Wow! I feel that Master Zu is like a pioneer who overcame obstacles in that era, working hard for the great goal of exorcism, and fighting against those extremist-minded 'Taoists'. Yuan Fan said with a smile.

"Hehe, you are so good at saying that, your ancestor Quanxia is probably going to be happy. However, what people didn't expect was that because the patriarch was not an apprentice of Ziyang Zhenren, even if he had outstanding exorcism skills, because he had offended too many Taoist priests in the world, when Ziyang Zhenren Immortal went, his disciples began to crowd out the patriarch. Moreover, many apprentices, like most Taoist priests, have become people who think they are superior. It's a pity......"

"Oh! I remembered, at the time of the 'Yunlai Inn', you said that the ancestor of the Taoist priest named Sun Chengzhen was Ziyang Zhenren, it seems that Sun Chengzhen's vein has also become a 'bad' Taoist priest? ”

"I can't say that the bad Taoist priest is just a different concept. Every time someone thinks I'm a Taoist priest, I explain that I'm an exorcist, but it's actually related to our ancestor. Chen Chuan rubbed his nose, "Although the ancestor has an extraordinary level of exorcism, he is still an ordinary person after all, and until he dies, he is still angry about the fact that Ziyang Zhenren did not accept him as a disciple, so he set up an ancestral precept, when my disciple is considered a Taoist priest, he must explain his identity!" ”

"I see!" Yuan Fan smiled and said, "I thought Master, you had some kind of enmity with the Taoist priest!" ”

"Huh! All right! After we finished telling the story of this course, did you find that what I said was not in "The Sleeping God Laughing and Forgetting the Book"? ”

Yuan Fan nodded, he really hadn't seen these on it.

"That's right, so I'm going to give you the first 'homework' of the day, which is to organize what I said today into the electronic version of "Sleeping God Laughing and Forgetting Book"!"

"Huh?"
