"Chapter 35—The Holy Book"
Finally, under my hard bubbles and repeated assurances, my grandfather finally agreed to let me regain my freedom. But there is also a premise, that is, I must wait until Hu Shuiqing teaches me the most basic techniques for self-defense.
Regarding Hu Shuiqing's ability, grandpa naturally has nothing to say, although he is grandpa's junior brother, but this does not mean that his ability is lower than grandpa. It's just that the time to get started is a little later than grandpa, listening to grandpa, Hu Shuiqing was very smart when he was young, and he was extremely interested in these things, plus his intelligence, even compared to grandpa, it is not much better.
After getting my grandfather's permission, I also exhaled heavily, but then I had a headache. Although I have a grandfather who is very good at ghosts and spirits, as his grandson, I don't know anything about these things. Because when I was a child, although I also had a lot of interest in these things, I was more exposed to those fortune-telling charlatans on the street. I don't believe that their Taoism and cultivation will be compared to people like Grandpa and Hu Shuiqing. Hu Shuiqing saw that his grandfather was relieved, and when he smiled, he said to me in an old-fashioned manner: "Okay, now your grandfather has agreed to this matter, according to the rules of this sect, you are also my apprentice, come, kneel down and kowtow to me three times, even if you officially become my apprentice." ”
I looked at Hu Shuiqing a little dazedly, and then turned my head to look at my grandfather, and saw that he didn't have any expression, and I understood that he had no objection to this matter. Then I knelt down and kowtowed three times to Hu Shuiqing, I felt a little pain, and solemnly called Master to Hu Shuiqing.
After Hu Shuiqing heard this, he smiled, looking like a vendor who had succeeded in the mall, looking cunning and cunning. Obviously, my Master's call was very useful to him. If he hadn't saved me several times before, I really wouldn't have wanted to apprentice to him just because of the way he looks now.
Hu Shuiqing just looked up and laughed, and didn't notice me staring at my grandfather, who was also looking at Hu Shuiqing, who was a little out of shape, and said that he was very helpless, and he didn't know what this old guy was thinking about now.
After laughing for a few minutes, Hu Shuiqing helped me up. It's just that his momentary excitement made me kneel for a while for no reason, and my mood was also unhappy at the moment.
Later, I secretly asked the master in private, and he said that because of the time of entry, his grandfather became his senior brother, and at that time his ability was far above his grandfather, but this was a rule handed down by his ancestors, and he had no choice, so he was still angry about it. So at that time, he accepted me as an apprentice, and he also felt that he made up for the regrets at that time.
"Okay, now that you are my apprentice, the teacher is now obliged to teach me some of the techniques, this thing may seem to outsiders to be just made up, but in our place, you must master it, you must practice diligently, only in this way, can you ensure that you will be safe and sound for the next seven years!"
I scratched my head after listening to it, according to what my grandfather told me before, when I was unconscious, the female ghost wanted to make a move on me, even if the grandfather was holding the peach blossom sword, he couldn't help him, presumably the female ghost's cultivation had reached an extremely terrifying level.
Looking at me who was a little uneasy, Hu Shuiqing also guessed what I was thinking, and immediately patted me on the shoulder and said to me, don't worry, since I have accepted you as an apprentice, I will not let you be in a little danger, and before you have the ability to protect yourself, the teacher will always be by your side.
After speaking, Hu Shuiqing took out an ancient book from his clothes and put it in front of me, the ancient book looked very old, and vaguely, I could still smell a slight smell in the air. And on the front cover of that book there are a few big bold characters written on it, as if it is regular script or something, and I don't recognize it.
Grandpa sat in the corner of the room, and Yu Guang also inadvertently caught a glimpse of the ancient book, and then jumped up as if he remembered something, and said to Hu Shuiqing: "Isn't this the eight-character feng shui technique?" Do you dare to take it with you? ”
I looked at the somewhat incredible expression on my grandfather's face and felt strange, in my memory, there are not many pictures that can make my grandfather so excited, and this is one of the few times, I took over the conversation and said to Hu Shuiqing: "Hu, oh no, Master, what is the eight-character feng shui technique?" ”
Hu Shuiqing ignored his grandfather, glared at me, shook the ancient book in his hand and said: "In my sect, there are three holy books, each of which records all-encompassing things, and this one is one of the three holy books, which contains far more than you can imagine, and when my master was dying, he passed this book to me. Over the years, I've relied on this book to make me wonder how many imps I've received. ”
After I heard this, I also subconsciously touched the back of my head, I didn't expect this broken book to be so powerful, and then continued to ask: "Master, didn't you say the three holy books just now?" So, what about the other two? ”
Hu Shuiqing smiled, then looked at his grandfather Nunu, whose face was a little blue, and said, "Oh, three people, one for each person, it's just right!" ”
I looked at my grandfather, and then said with some uncertainty: "Grandpa, you have it too?" ”
Grandpa's face became a little ugly after listening to my words, and it seemed that the secrets of these three books were not intended to be known to others. But at the moment, because Hu Shuiqing had already said the matter roughly, he didn't have any need to hide it at the moment, and nodded slightly at me.
