Chapter 3 Apprenticeship

"What do you mean," the girl turned around, staring at Wang Shuo with a pair of big sky-blue eyes that were a little red, and a pair of small white jade hands were clenched deadly, and a few sharp nails were faintly peeking out of the delicate skin.

Wang Shuo remembered again that this unusually beautiful girl was a cat demon, and if she annoyed it, she was afraid that she would be scratched by it.

Thinking of this, Wang Shuo hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not interesting, I just want to say that I don't need to trouble you, and I don't have much ambition, as long as I can continue to live the life I want, so it's okay to simply learn some ways to protect myself." ”

"Hmph," snorted coldly, the girl ignored him, turned around and shouted angrily at Wang Wenting: "Old man, what do you mean, this girl is not one of those fierce monsters, she has never killed a life since she opened her mind, why do you have such a big opinion of me." ”

Wang Wenting said expressionlessly: "The monster is just an attachment of the Taoist priest, if Shuo Shuo really wants to practice, if he wants to apprentice, he has to worship a Taoist priest, how can he find a monster to be the master." ”

"Hahaha," she sneered, and the girl pointed at Wang Shuo and said to him, "Could it be that you can't see the thick ghost aura on his body?" If my guess is correct, if it weren't for the fact that he was still a virgin, the ghost would have killed him as a stand-in, and even so, if it wasn't for me yesterday, the ghost would have done it. Looking for a Taoist priest to be a master? I'm afraid he'll have to die before he finds Master. ”

Wang Wenting was silent, he was a ghost now, how could he not see the thick ghost aura on Wang Shuo's body.

"If I can be his master," the girl waited for a while, and when she saw that Wang Wenting was silent and did not speak, she continued: "Ordinary ghosts don't dare to come over at all, so his personal safety will be guaranteed. Also, my last attached master left me some books before he died, as long as he can learn all the above records, no one else will have to worry about safety in the future, how about it? ”

Wang Wenting sighed a little helplessly, turned his head to look at Wang Shuo and explained to him: "Shuo Shuo, then you can do it yourself, the name of the ancestor is Wang Meng, if you really want to cultivate, it is enough to burn incense and make a sacrifice." Okay, I'll go down first, and then call me through the conjuring if you have something. ”

After speaking, Wang Wenting turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared.

"Okay, now that we know the name of our ancestors, let's hurry up and burn incense here," relieved, the girl took out three dark yellow coarse incense sticks from her arms and handed them to Wang Shuo.

"Right here?" Wang Shuo was a little surprised, didn't he have to find an auspicious day for the zodiac first and then take a good bath and change clothes? Wouldn't it be a little bad to pay homage to the ancestors here?

The girl didn't say much, raised her hand and wiped over the coarse incense held by Wang Shuo, and saw that the three coarse incense sticks directly emitted three small puffs of green smoke.

"First bow three times to the four directions," the girl pulled Wang Shuo and asked him to bow three times in the four directions of due east, west, south and north.

"How so?" Wang Shuo straightened up and found that the three coarse incense sticks that were originally very long in his hand had disappeared half of them for no reason at this time, and he couldn't help but look at the girl in a panic.

"Those incense sticks are offered to the gods of the four directions, otherwise, who would want to help you talk for no reason," the girl explained to him with a roll of her eyes.

"Oh," nodded understandingly, and Wang Shuo asked her, "Then what should I do next?" ”

The girl whispered to him the next steps.

After listening to the girl's explanation, Wang Shuo was very relieved, and after a slight hesitation on his face, he knelt down in the direction of due south, and said loudly: "Wang Shuo, the descendant of the Wang family, told the ancestor Wang Meng, from now on, I will step into the path of cultivation and become a monk, and please ask the ancestors to be unfilial to their descendants." ”

It turns out that although ordinary Taoist priests can get married and have children, this can be regarded as a monk after all, so before officially starting to cultivate, you must first sacrifice to the ancestors, otherwise you will not be able to cultivate justifiably, even if you forcibly cultivate, you will encounter all kinds of evil obstacles, as the so-called filial piety comes first.

At this time, Wang Shuo had finished everything that should be said according to the girl's teachings, and he kowtowed lightly nine more times on the ground before standing up.

Suddenly, there was a burning sensation from the hands holding the coarse incense, Wang Shuo was burned and subconsciously opened his hand, and then looked down, and saw that the three coarse incense sticks that were still half the length were all gone, leaving only some incense ash on the ground.

"Why are they all gone?" Muttering curiously, Wang Shuo turned around, and when he was about to ask the girl to explain to himself, he suddenly found that there were five men and women in black robes surrounding the girl in the middle.

"I've finally found you," a black-robed man shoved the girl's shoulders and shouted angrily at her, "I'm going to roast you over a high fire for three days, and then I'll eat you when you're fully cooked." ”

"I was wrong, I'm sorry," the girl glanced at Wang Shuo outside the encirclement covertly, and apologized to the five people again and again with a regretful expression on her beautiful little face.

"Hmph, I thought a few words of apology would send us away," the black-robed man snorted coldly, waved his hand and shouted, "Take her away." ”

Gritting her teeth, the girl put away the expression on her face, glared at the five people fiercely, turned her head and shouted at Wang Shuo: "Hey, my name is Mao Xiaomeng, I swear to be attached to you and follow you to protect you and help you, are you willing to take me in?" ”

"Not good," the five men and women in black robes snorted softly.

Wang Shuo, who was standing outside the encirclement, hurriedly replied loudly: "I am willing." ”

As soon as his words fell, two points of light appeared out of thin air and landed on Wang Shuo and the girl's heads.

"Bang."

With a soft sound, I saw that the girl in the encirclement suddenly changed back to her original appearance, and it was a pure white tiger with a length of three and a half meters, a height of about two meters, and three big tails behind her.

The tiger snorted, and under the ugly gaze of the five black-robed men and women, he slowly came to Wang Shuo step by step.

"Wang Shuo?" The tiger opened its mouth and made a crisp and pleasant sound, it raised one of its front paws and put it on Wang Shuo's shoulder and shook it gently, which shook Wang Shuo, who was already stunned, back to his senses.

Wang Shuo didn't dare to move, looked at the big tiger who was putting a paw on his shoulder, and stumbled and said, "You, are you an old tiger?" ”

"Hahaha," the tiger retracted his paw to cover his blood basin and let out a burst of laughter, and after a while he said with a smile: "Don't make me laugh, I'm just a blue-eyed white cat who has lived a little longer, don't you see that I don't have the mark of the beastmaster on my head." ”

"Bastard," At this time, the five men and women in black robes surrounded them, and they glared at Wang Shuo and the cat Xiaomeng next to him with unwilling faces.

With a snort a little proud, Mao Xiaomeng looked down at the five people and said, "I have the protection of a Taoist priest now, do you still dare to make a move on me?" ”

"Don't be complacent, we'll come back to you when he's dead, hum," Leng Voice left a scene, and the five people turned and pounced forward, shaking in mid-air and turning into five black crows, flapping their wings and flying away.

Mao Xiaomeng rolled her eyes at the backs of the five crows, trembled and slowly shrunk her body, and only stopped when she was as small as Wang Shuo first saw, came to Wang Shuo's feet and climbed all the way up along his clothes, and finally lay on Wang Shuo's shoulder and did not move, and whispered to him: "Okay, let's go back." ”

Nodding, Wang Shuo walked to the outside of the cemetery, and asked as he walked, "The five crow spirits just left?" ”

Mao Xiaomeng lay on Wang Shuo's shoulder and said a little lazily: "Well, monsters are not allowed to shoot at humans, let alone Taoist priests." Now that I am attached to you and believe that you are in charge, they will be against you if they try to do it again. ”

Wang Shuo showed a thoughtful expression, and quickly walked out of the cemetery with the cat Xiaomeng along the path, stopped a taxi on the street, and returned to his home at about one o'clock in the afternoon.

Wang Shuo and the humanoid cat Xiaomeng ate some takeout bought in the restaurant as lunch, and then came to the bedroom together to sit face-to-face on the bed, and the cat Xiaomeng explained to him how to start cultivating.

"Do you know why, in this day and age, only those who have opened their eyes of yin and yang can cultivate? That's because those ordinary people who can't open the yin and yang eyes can't see the essence of the sun and moon at all, and they naturally can't absorb the essence into their bodies. Only those who have opened the eyes of yin and yang can clearly see the essence of the sun and the moon, and when they breathe in, they can find the essence that is useful to themselves and absorb it into the body. One thing you must keep in mind is that humans can't absorb the sun and moon essence at will like us youkai, and most of them can only absorb pure golden sun essence, and most women can only absorb pure blue moon essence. Generally speaking, men practice best at 12 o'clock at noon, while women practice best at 12 o'clock at night. Mao Xiaomeng explained to Wang Shuo with a serious face.

Wang Shuo nodded to indicate that he remembered.

Mao Xiaomeng picked up a bottle of drink that she had bought before and took a big sip, and continued with a satisfied expression on her face: "After spitting, introduce the essence into the dantian, and then urge the essence from the dantian when you want to use it." Okay, let's do the apprenticeship first, and then I'll officially teach you how to cultivate. ”

After speaking, Mao Xiaomeng picked up the bottle of drink and drank it all, stood up and turned around and walked out of the bedroom, and walked straight to the kitchen with Wang Shuo and walked in quickly.

When she came to the dining table, Mao Xiaomeng first took out a dark yellow paper from her arms, then took out a brush and a square inkstone.

Wang Shuo stood behind Mao Xiaomeng and watched her lying on the dining table with a curious face, writing and drawing on it, and only after she got up did he see what she was writing.

"Zhang Shaohua, both my last master and my master, because what I am about to teach you is her old man's things, so let's go under her old man's witness to worship the teacher," Mao Xiaomeng explained softly, and then, she picked up the yellow paper and used the sun and moon essence in her body to make it stand in the middle of the dining table, and then, raised her hands and folded them in front of her chest, muttering a few words in her mouth.

Under Wang Shuo's gaze, a puff of blue-black smoke rose from the kitchen, and a young woman in a dark blue robe appeared on the dining table.

"Girl, what's the matter with calling me up?" The woman sat cross-legged behind the yellow paper, looking at Wang Shuo and Mao Xiaomeng with curiosity.

"Third sister, hehe," he laughed twice before speaking, and Mao Xiaomeng leaned on the dining table and came to the woman and said to her: "His name is Wang Shuo, because some things have opened his eyes the day after tomorrow, I want to accept him as an apprentice now, and teach him all the things you left me, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Shaohua exclaimed, rolled his eyes at Mao Xiaomeng and snorted: "I heard me right, you are a monster who wants to take your master as an apprentice?" ”

After speaking, Zhang Shaohua turned his head and snorted at Wang Shuo on the side: "Boy, do you really want to worship her as a teacher?" ”

Wang Shuo smiled bitterly and looked at the cat Xiaomeng who was pouting on the side, and saw that she glared back at him a little threateningly, so he had to nod helplessly.

"Okay," shook his head with a wry smile on his face, Zhang Shaohua raised his hand and nodded a few times at Mao Xiaomeng's head and said: "You girl will be messing around, but since you two parties have negotiated, then there is no need for me to be this bad guy, okay, I'll be this witness for you." ”

"Great," cheered, Mao Xiaomeng turned around and said to Wang Shuo with a proud face: "Good apprentice, hurry up and give the teacher an apprenticeship." ”

Turning his head to look at Zhang Shaohua, seeing that she was looking at this with a wry smile on her face, Wang Shuo knelt down with some reluctance.

"Third sister, I also have an apprentice," Mao Xiaomeng pulled him up without waiting for Wang Shuo to finish the entire apprenticeship ceremony, and turned his head to Zhang Shaohua with a grin.

"Okay, okay, I know," Zhang Shaohua sighed helplessly, and then, she put away her other expressions and said with a serious face: "Girl, you can make any trouble you want in private, but you have to be careful, don't let outsiders know about your relationship, otherwise, other Taoist priests will come to the door to clean you up." Alright, I've got to go, and don't forget to tell him everything I'm supposed to teach. ”

After speaking, Zhang Shaohua on the dining table turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared, while the yellow paper on the table burst into a burst of fire, and soon turned into a small pile of ashes.
