Chapter 31 Apprenticeship
Seeing this big guy getting closer and closer, I suddenly became vigilant, held Liu Mengqi tightly, and quickly retreated. The flying centipede stopped in front of the dead body, lowered its head and touched it twice, then opened the poisonous hook, penetrated its body, picked him up, and stuffed it into the mouth behind the poisonous hook.
Geng Ming walked over very calmly, and the flying centipede lowered his head and let him stand up. He glanced at us and knocked again, and the flying centipede crawled at great speed, heading north.
I saw that the death-seeking Daoist was about to chase after me, and hurriedly said, "Senior, slow down, don't chase it." The Death-Seeker was slightly stunned, and then walked slowly towards us, his chest still rising and falling violently when he reached us.
After resting for a while, he said weakly, "Why are you stopping me?" Do you know how many people in the world will suffer if you let it go? ”
I said that Geng Ming has a clear conscience and will not take him to harm others, you can always rest assured, even if you really catch up, the victory or defeat is unknown, you are always a big man, how can you be in danger.
The man who begged for death laughed and said: "Little doll, you don't have to compliment me, that's right, I still can't fight it, if I fight, I will definitely die, but my mission in the world is not to let it be born to harm people, since you say that it will not harm people, it is just empty words, today I have a big loss of vitality, life is not long, this mission is not finished, someone needs to take over, until it is completely dead." ”
I was slightly stunned and said, "Senior, what do you mean?" ”
He nodded and said, "Yes, if you want to take over this mission from me, you can't kill it, and you can't let it be a disaster for the world." After speaking, he looked at me, then at Lin Feng, and stayed on Lin Feng a few more times.
"Although my longevity is approaching, I can still hand over the qi of more than 100 years to you, but what you can use is only five or six out of ten." He said to Lin Feng: "I think your golden pill has been completed, are you willing to become my heir?" Accept my mission? In this way, five or six out of ten of my strength will be passed on to you, and the cultivation of the primordial spirit will be just around the corner. ”
Lin Feng shook his head categorically and said: "I am a real person from Zhang Peishan of Longhu Mountain, the master has the grace of reinvention for me, and he will not worship others, the kindness of his predecessors, Lin Feng understands it, but it is difficult to obey his fate." ”
The Death Seeker was not surprised, but just nodded and said to me, "Then it's only you, why don't you kneel down and worship the master?" "I looked at him stupidly, why is he going to apprentice this time?
"Bang" in my god, the death Taoist slapped me on the head, and said angrily: "My hundred-year skill, although I can't help you cultivate into a golden pill, but it is not far away, as long as you practice a little, it will be less than a year, and at most three or five years will become a golden pill, you little doll, are you still unwilling?." ”
Where am I unwilling, I'm just too excited, isn't this the elder in martial arts novels, so there is really such a thing? In the words of the place, it was a great opportunity. However, there is one thing that is more congested, that is, after passing on the gong, usually the predecessors and masters will die.
"Senior, if you give me skills, will you die immediately?" I asked softly. The man who begged for death laughed and said: "In my life, there have been many ups and downs, but I didn't expect that before I died, I could accept a good apprentice, good!" Hahaha, you don't have to worry about my life or death, our cultivators are different from the kind of martial arts people on TV, my longevity has been decided, no matter whether I pass on my strength to you or not, I will die. ”
Then I'll be relieved, and I'll feel guilty if he dies because of this. Without saying much, I knelt down to worship the teacher, and I always felt that I was weak, very weak. Every time I fight with Lin Feng, it is a burden, and I also have a strong desire for strength, wanting to be able to help myself, rather than being a waste who is protected.
Take today as an example, if Lin Feng is not there, and Geng Ming does not kill that person, it will definitely be another result, what will happen to me at that time, I can't even think about it, because of the desire for strength, I did not hesitate or refuse, if it was changed before today, I think I would definitely shirk it.
I kowtowed a few times respectfully, and I could hear the sound every time, and people could pass on their skills for more than a hundred years to me, and kowtow a few times, which should be. Seeing me like this, the Death Daoist smiled very happily, turned around and said, "Follow me." ”
I stood up and glanced at them, Lin Feng was smiling, and Liu Mengqi came up and touched my forehead, feeling the affection, my heart was extremely happy and excited, full of longing for the future. Today, it can be said that it is a blessing in disguise, otherwise I would not have understood her heart.
Seeing me looking at her stupid smile, Liu Mengqi instantly withdrew her palm, gave me a roll of her eyes, and said, "Don't think about it, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to explain it to my aunt." ”
I laughed, now that the layer of paper has been pierced, I don't get so entangled, just make it clear that what you say is what it is. After Lin Feng heard this, he laughed on the side, Liu Mengqi secretly pinched me, turned around and ran to the parking place. I looked at her with my eyes and exclaimed, "My vision is good, you see, she even looks so good when she runs." ”
Lin Feng gave me a punch and scolded with a smile: "Okay, don't be numb, I've watched too much TV and I'll take you, hurry up, my predecessors are still waiting for you." ”
Oooh. It dawned on me that I raised my feet and ran towards the hut where the master was begging for death, and then he went back to his own room. The walls of his house had been smashed by flying centipedes, and I stepped on the rocks into the house, which was not as dark as before, and there was a kerosene lamp burning.
Pity me, a master master, I don't even have electricity at home, and I still light kerosene lamps, and I am afraid that there is only time for a generation of masters to do this. In fact, I also understand that this is his original intention, otherwise with his skills, it is not difficult to want anything.
"Ahem, apprentice, what's your name?" Holding a tablet-like thing in his hand, the death-seeking master came out of the inner room and asked me casually.
I said respectfully: "Apprentice Ye Feng, meet the master." ”
"Ye Feng, well, a good name, come, worship the ancestor first, after worshipping, you will officially enter my door wall." Begging for Death gave a pertinent assessment, and then placed the sign on the table in the center.
I didn't say a word, knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed a few more times. When I looked up, I realized that the tablet was blank.
I wondered, "Master, why is there no name on this tablet?" Could it be that the patriarch ordered it down? ”
Asking for death pulled me up, shook my head and said, "No, because Shizun doesn't know the name of the ancestor." I was a small sect of the Taoist heirs, when it was a troubled time, the people in the faction have gone out to find a way out, in the end only I was left alone, after the founding of the country, I also gave up the identity of the Daomen, self-contained, wandering the world, at the age of twenty-three, I met a master, profound Taoism, good to others, and he walked all the way, I benefited a lot, I can have today's achievements, in fact, most of them are from his guidance, otherwise I am afraid that I will have already returned to the dust. ”
"So, the master has his own faction, respecting that person as the ancestor?" I took over and said.
He smiled and said: "Yes, the ancestor is wandering and has no fixed place, he once said that he is like a lonely boat, although he has a home, he can't go back, because there are more people who need him to do his part for the world." I admired him so much, after I came here thirty years ago, I encountered demon spirits, and I knew that this is a demon spirit Jedi, someone once sealed a flying centipede and many demon spirits here, and the seal has failed for a long time, and it will not be able to suppress it. I thought of the words of the patriarch, so I settled here, subdued the escaped demon spirit, and waited for it to break through, and then destroy it in one fell swoop, even if it didn't work, I had to die with it. ”
This story made me feel a lot of emotion, one is the great benevolence and righteousness of the patriarch, the mind of all sentient beings, and the other is that the master of death has worked tirelessly for 30 years to suppress the demon spirit, which is admirable.
"Okay, I've told you everything I need to say, I hope to be able to continue the tradition of my own family, and think more about the common people in the world, even if I suffer a little, the right is to hone my body."
I said solemnly: "The disciples must remember the teachings of the master and put the common people first. Asking for death laughed, and only after stopping did he say: "Having said that, it is not so serious, now is a peaceful and prosperous world, and the world naturally has something to manage, we just need to do what we need to do." ”
With that, he took me into the room and took out two futons. Let me sit cross-legged with him.
"Disciple, this gate is not the same as the Taoist gate, this gate does not have the so-called talismans and spells to drive away evil spirits and charms. After decades of studying as a teacher, I think that instead of relying on external forces, it is better to cultivate myself into a sharp weapon, so that I will not rely on external objects. Imagine if a Taoist priest has no talismans, how should he exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts? ”
These words surprised me, but also a little excited, Taoist exorcism is generally to draw talismans, chant spells, set up altars, arrange formations, the world of Taoism is a lot of distribution, but everything is the same, basically such a routine, now at first glance I heard that there are not these routines, strong curiosity and desire for knowledge surged.
"You have to keep in mind that the five elements in the world are mutually reinforcing, and there are very few in the world that can escape from the five elements, if you are unfortunate enough to encounter it, it can only mean that you are unlucky, and you have not encountered it as a teacher, so you don't know how to deal with it. But for the ghosts, zombies, demons and other evil spirits that are often encountered, they can be broken with qi, broken with the body, human hair, blood, saliva, and even filth, can be subdued and demons eliminated, and it is invincible and unfavorable with qi. ”
I listened carefully and asked, "How do you manage that?" Please ask Master for advice. ”
Qiu Death smiled and said: "Don't worry, the coming day will be long, today I will transfer my more than 100 years of strength to you, and when you have these strength, I will tell you slowly." ”
