Chapter 015: I Can't Beat a Monkey
The color was slightly bright, and I had already jumped out of bed and went outside to chop wood and fetch water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the mountains these days, the master is taking care of me, and even the food is cooked for me, I am very unhappy in my heart, what is this like being an apprentice? So, I got up before dawn and made fried noodles and meat porridge for the master and Brother Monkey.
I quickly took a few bites, and after breakfast, I went to the Yitiantai where the master taught me to practice yesterday.
Last night I was lying in bed, unable to sleep, and I kept thinking about the moves I had made during the day, trying to dig out more details and clues from the depths of my memory. Sure enough, some more recalled. This morning, I can't wait to try my skills.
The sun had just risen, and I started throwing my fists and kicks on the rooftop. While playing, I was secretly surprised: the internal strength of the past ten years is really unambiguous! Between my hands and feet, there was already a strong gust of wind.
My movements are also much sharper than yesterday, and I play unambiguously and without dragging my feet at all.
……
"Hehehehe...... Wouldn't it be too boring to play alone, why don't you try to compete with Aji? Daoist Cangwu stood under the stage in good spirits, and the golden monkey Aji followed behind him.
"Master morning! - Come on, let the horses come. "I thought to myself, there's no way I'm going to beat a monkey, right?
Soon, I realized I was wrong. Aggie's physical flexibility is obviously above me! It first screamed loudly and scurried away, so fast that only a golden shadow could be seen; Rushing up to me, it leaped over my head and stretched out its legs straight at my face!
I'm not good at stubble, a "whirlwind backturn" sideways evad, and then, began to use "tiger out of the hole", "wild bee dance", "sea withered dragon claw" ......
One person and one monkey, I don't know that the battle has been hundreds of rounds, although I have real qi, but I have begun to panting. To my surprise, Aji's martial arts attainments were so profound, and after fighting for so long, I couldn't have the upper hand at all, and every move was easily dissolved by it by seeing through its intentions!
When the contest finally ended, I was disgracefully hit by Aggie and lay on the ground unable to move. The Taoist chief was happy: "You haven't reached the heat yet, and you haven't cultivated on weekdays, so it's not neat enough to start now." However, as long as you persist in hard practice, you will achieve success in time. ”
After a pause, he asked, "What kind of boxing are you playing?" Do you recall it now? ”
I shook my head and said, "I still can't remember the name, but I remember every move very clearly." ”
"Then how do you know the names of 'Whirlwind Flip' and 'Tiger Out of the Hole'?"
I said, "I don't understand either, it's like being born to breathe." ”
……
On the fifth and sixth days on the mountain, I practiced martial arts and learned Maoshan techniques with the Taoist master, except for eating, bathing, and sleeping, all the rest of the time was used for cultivation.
It's a lot to gain these days. Now, with my profound internal strength, I can already turn my palm to ignite a fireball, and I won't need a lighter to smoke in the future, haha.
In the evening, I went to the mass grave again, learning how to invite ghosts and send ghosts, and the results went very well. I pointed to the ghost eunuch and said, "Sure," and it didn't move; Then I said "put", "back off", and it did so. The ghost eunuch regained his freedom of movement and was about to have a seizure, when I smiled and arched my hand: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to toss you,—— I just learned these spells and I'm a little anxious to try them. He snorted again, and I burned it a little paper money before it would give up.
I recited the doppelganger mantra again, "porphyry" twice, and there were immediately two more Hu Yiming in front of me. I asked one of them to chop wood, the other to sweep the floor, and I myself set up Erlang's legs and smoked in the gazebo.
……
On the evening of the sixth day, I said to Daoist Cangwu: "Master, I will go back to the city early tomorrow morning, thank you for taking care of me these days." "Actually, I am very reluctant to go, in addition to being able to follow the master to study Maoshan every day, the environment here is also very quiet, only to see green trees and clear streams, not to hear the hustle and bustle of the world; But, life still has to go on.
Daoist Cangwu thought for a moment and said, "Come with me, I have something to take you down the mountain, and I have some things to explain." ”
I followed him into the study. The Taoist chief handed me a wooden box, and when I opened it, it was full of gourds, ink fountain wires, gossip mirrors, talismans, and other commonly used ghost-hunting tools.
He picked up a peachwood sword and said, "This is your sword, play with it, try your might." ”
I was dumbfounded: "This ...... Will this thing still work? "I'm telling the truth, the sword is in tatters, with several chips and scratches, and half of the paint has been scraped off, and it looks like it will break with a few hard swings.
The Taoist chief pursed his lips, revealing the same demeanor as a naughty boy, and said, "Don't be ignorant of treasures! This is what my ancestor left behind, you can make do with it first! If you want a powerful magic weapon, you can find it yourself, or make it yourself! ”
I said in frustration: "Master, it's not that you don't know, I don't have talent for the courses of "Principles of Magic Weapon Manufacturing" and "Pill Medicine"! You've taught me a lot in the past few days, but I'm still a mess, what can I do? ”
The Taoist chief said proudly: "I have a good sword, but I don't give it, I have to keep it for myself!" If you want, figure it out for yourself. This depends on fate, and the magic weapon that is related to you will appear in front of you at the right time. ”
I had no choice but to put away my tools and books.
Daoist Cangwu suddenly said solemnly: "There are three points, I have to tell you." ”
"The first and most important point is that the people in Maoshan must take it as their responsibility to save the emergency and help the danger, subdue the demons and slay the demons, and magnify my sect; You must not have crooked thoughts, and you must not use magic to collect ill-gotten gains, disturb the people, or harm others! Otherwise, I'll undo what you've learned and clean up the portal! ”
"Don't worry, master, I will keep it in mind!"
"Second, after you go back, you must insist on cultivating every day, and you must not slacken, and if you go up the mountain in a month, I will test your homework. However, you are not cultivating to cope with my exams, you will face all kinds of unpredictable dangers and fears at any time, and only when you are well prepared can you calmly resolve them. Books and ritual utensils must be kept well, especially books, which are the painstaking work of several generations of ancestors, and they are very likely to be the only ones in the world. ”
"Yes, master."
"Third, you take Aggie and send it back in a month. During this month, it is your martial arts instructor who will help you practice martial arts. ”
"Huh?! No way? "The small attic I live in is only a few square meters, and it's okay to live alone; If Aggie also lives in, is there still a place to turn over? Besides, I work during the day, who will take care of it?
Dao Chief: "Don't worry, Aji is very good!" Even if a stranger abducts it, it will come back to you on its own. You're only responsible for three meals a day. ”
I can only say yes. It's good that if I take a monkey on a long-distance bus ride, I might become an internet celebrity.
Early the next morning, I said goodbye to Cangwu Dao Chang and took Aji down the mountain.
Before getting on the bus, I went back to my hometown. My family was very happy to see me come back suddenly; But I also said that I feel very different from before, and I can't say what is different. My grandmother padded me to dinner with a single girl in the village. I hurriedly said that I had to go back to the company immediately, and after speaking, I called Aji, who was hiding in the bamboo forest, and fled.
The coach sped down the highway, and Aggie was jumping up and down in his seat.
This guy gives me a lot of headaches, it looks like it hasn't been down in a long time, it's excited all the way, and the noise never stops. However, its pure golden hair, and the appearance and cheek-scratching movements of the cute dead man are very eye-catching, and everyone comes to touch it.
The girls widened their eyes one by one, shouting around Aji, and some asked, "Can I hug me?" Some asked, "Can you take a picture with it?" ...... Aji is very enthusiastic, and he doesn't refuse to come, showing two rows of big teeth and selling cuteness with his sister, which makes me very annoying.
It was almost time for me to calm down and think. I looked at the scenery along the way absentmindedly, but I was thinking about my life experience. Who am I? Where do you start your investigation to discover the truth?
