CHAPTER XVI
"Let's go, let's talk in my study. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ge Lao said as he walked: "It may be the reason why you repelled the gluttonous ghosts before, Ningcheng has been very restless recently, there are little ghosts everywhere, there are no big things, and small things are constantly ...... I'm busy. In the evening, I went to worship our ancestors, and we stayed here to eat. ”
"All right, master."
Ge Lao's study is very small, with half of the bookshelves on it, and there are many books on it. The walls are plastered with hand-copied drawings of talismans, all of which are simple charms that grant blessings and ward off evil spirits. The young beautiful girl Ge Shuilian was lying lazily on the desk, writing and painting with a brush, as soon as she saw Ge Lao come in, she immediately sat upright, and finally glanced at Bai Zhuo behind him, Ge Shuilian showed a dissatisfied look, grinning at Bai Zhuo, revealing a cute little tiger tooth.
Ge Lao's eyes widened, Ge Shui shrank his head and stopped his small movements.
"Shui Lian, in the future, he will be your junior brother, take good care of him, you know? Okay, you don't have to paint, usually you go to college, it's rare to come to grandpa to play during the summer vacation, this time I'll spare you, go out to play. ”
"Haha, grandpa is the best!" As soon as Ge Shuilian heard that he could go out to play, his light figure suddenly jumped up, threw away the brush and charm in his hand, hugged Ge Lao's neck and took a sip of incense, and ran away, not forgetting to throw Bai Zhuo a noble hygienic eye when he left.
Ge Lao smiled and touched the wet marks on his face: "This girl...... Hehe, sit down Bai Zhuo. ”
Ge Lao said: "In the future, Bai Zhuo, you will be Shui Lian's junior brother, this girl has a bad temper, but her nature is not bad, Bai Zhuo, you have to understand." ”
"I know, master."
"Okay, let's not gossip, Bai Zhuo, how much do you know about this onmyoji?"
"This ...... I only know that Onmyoji exorcises demons, many people think that Onmyoji is from the island country of Japan, but in fact, this Onmyoji originated in our Warring States period in China, and then flourished in the island country of Japan. ”
Ge Lao nodded and shook his head, not knowing whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied, and said: "Onmyoji has the distinction of 'Yin Master' and 'Yang Master', and the person who can really be a 'Onmyoji' must be a person with great ability. The 'Yin Master' is proficient in exorcising evil spirits and eliminating demons, and the 'Yang Master' is proficient in illusion and divination, and only by achieving the two essences of Yin and Yang can he become a real Yin and Yang Master of the Five Elements and calm the Yin and Yang world! ”
"Oh! Is there such a statement? ”
"Yes, then, how much do you know about Taoist priests?"
"Daoist? Most Taoist priests are looking for self-cultivation, such as ...... What kind of feeling is it like to cultivate immortals? I don't know, so let's explain. ”
"You don't even know that?"
"Well, I don't know."
"Actually, about Taoist priests...... I don't know. ”
“……”
"Haha, just kidding, our Chinese Taoism has a long history and a strong cultural heritage, strictly speaking, Onmyoji is a branch of Taoism. But nowadays, the monastic world is lonely, and most Taoist priests live in seclusion, not asking about mortal dust, you just need to understand it, you don't need to dig deeper. ”
"Master, you are really ...... People are not old-hearted, anyway, what is the meaning of the master telling me about this? ”
"Well, just remember that. Today is the 30th day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and in seven days, you know what day it is, right? ”
"Seven more days? The seventh day of the seventh month, ah, Halloween? ”
"Yes, Halloween is also the most important festival in our yin and yang world." Ge Lao nodded and said, "This annual Halloween Festival, our young onmyoji in the Yin and Yang Realm will hold a competitive competition. ”
"Race?"
"Yes, the game Ghost Hunt. Onmyoji exorcism is the simplest, killing ghosts is the duty of the onmyoji, ghost hunting is the essence of the onmyoji, and you will know in the future how important ghost hunting is. ”
"The master told me this, meaning, you want me to participate in this competition?" Bai Zhuo asked.
"The children can be taught. In this competition, the age of the participants cannot exceed 30 years old, and there must be a recommender, I have two places, and when the time comes, your senior sister will participate with you, I hope you can win the championship of this competition! ”
Bai Zhuo looked forced and said, "Master......"
Ge Lao raised his hand to interrupt Bai Zhuo's words and said, "I know that you have not gone through an orthodox study and have no confidence in yourself, but in my opinion, you are a genius!" Either way, you're a genius who can fight off gluttonous ghosts on your own! ”
"But it was ...... that night"
"Okay, no need to say any more, since you have agreed to be my apprentice, then you should listen to the master. Don't worry, you already have a certain foundation, and you can learn much better in a week. ”
“…… Well, master. ”
"Well, there are some things worth noting, I'll tell you about them together." Ge Lao poured two cups of cold water from a teapot and handed them to Bai Zhuo.
He took a sip of water and said, "In this competition, we have a favorable location, and the location is in Ningcheng. However, Ningcheng has been very uneasy recently, and there are little ghosts everywhere, probably because you didn't follow my steps to exorcise gluttonous ghosts before, causing many unjust souls and evil spirits to run out to do evil. The gluttonous ghost devours the soul and turns it into its own use, and it must first get rid of the evil spirit in its body before it can be completely destroyed...... But I think it's understandable that you were in a precarious situation. The next time you meet it, you'll know what to do. ”
"Oh, I got it, master, I made a note of it."
"As the saying goes, Hades is easy to see, but little ghosts are difficult. What I want to say is that this time there are many little ghosts, and many ants bite and kill elephants, even if there are some little ghosts, you can't take it lightly, you know? ”
Bai Zhuo nodded heavily, deeply convinced.
"And the most important point......" Ge Lao was silent for a while, and said: "Because the reward for the champion of this competition is the most generous in the past ten years, so the participants must be mixed, you and Shui Lian must be careful, your senior sister has a bad temper and has no scheming, you have to take care of her more, you know?" ”
"Master, since this competition is so dangerous, let Shui have mercy...... Sister Shui Lian, just don't go? Bai Zhuo asked puzzled.
Ge Lao shook his head and said, "It's hard to ride a tiger...... My Ge family is in the yin and yang world, and it also has some weight, everyone knows that my Ge Zhongxiang has a granddaughter with innate yin and yang eyes, if she doesn't go, what will others think? ”
Face is more important than life? Bai Zhuo didn't say this, he could only nod and didn't refute Ge Lao. He asked, "I'm curious, what's the reward for the champion?" ”
"Do you remember the peach tree that was buried in the mountain last time?"
"Yes, yes."
Bai Zhuoxin said, isn't it because of this matter that you have a cheap master?
"After you rescue the tree spirit, the only place where the peach tree can be used is the roots."
Blame me?
Ge Lao sighed: "It's a pity, such a big thunder tree, and it's also a peach tree...... Ahem, it's far away, this Thunder Tribulation Divine Wood was finally taken away by the Tang family. Tang Qibo of the Tang family, as the president of the Onmyoji Association, is willing to take out half a piece of Thunder Tribulation Divine Wood as a reward, this half of the Thunder Tribulation Divine Tree is enough to make a complete peachwood sword! ”
"Huh? So this wood can also be used as a reward? ”
"Stinky boy, be content, the rare Thunder Tribulation Divine Tree in 10,000 years has no price! In addition to this reward, the top three in the competition can also go to the warehouse of the Onmyoji Association to pick one item each, boy, take advantage of it, you are also half an Onmyoji, don't you want to get ahead and revive the Bai family? ”
If I could, I would like to be an ordinary person, this kind of ability, don't do it! Bai Zhuo was full of thoughts and was silent.
