Chapter 1: A visit by the helper
Master was very attentive to my homework, and every morning from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., he gave me lectures on physiognomy, fortune telling, fortune telling, feng shui for yin and yang houses, spells, formations, and rituals for fasting and Jiao. Each of these things takes a lot of time to study and research, for example, a prayer dojo requires a lot of scriptures to be recited, a lot of tables to be filled, and even to be learned, which is very troublesome, but the master doesn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, cramming education, and wants to put it all into my head in a short time.
That's not all, he also has to tell me a lot of experiences and experiences of my grandfather, as well as some anecdotes in the countryside. In addition to attending classes, I also have to read and memorize a lot of books, I spend at least five hours practicing yin and yang at night, and sometimes I have to practice grappling techniques with the second master Lao Linzi in the early morning, so that my mother repeatedly wants to give me a blind date, and I don't have time to go.
In fact, I already have a "fiancΓ©e", but I agree to this family business, Secretary Chen didn't come to the door, I couldn't ask for it, of course I won't mention it again, so I didn't tell my mother.
The busy days passed quickly, and most of the year passed in the blink of an eye, and I followed the master to deal with some trivial supernatural events for the nearby villagers, which were not worth mentioning.
There are a few small things that need to be explained during this period, the first is that Sheng Yupo's daughter went to the city to file a complaint, and as a result, I couldn't get a "pension". Because I am not a retiree in the first place, the pension is only a humanitarian subsidy for my livelihood, and now that I am cured, of course I can't take it anymore.
Well, I am a good young man and a good citizen, I can't be a parasite of the country, if I don't take it, I won't take it, it doesn't matter, I will be a god stick in the future.
The second is that the Butterflies have a grudge against me, and not long ago they put a bloody handprint on the door of my house and threw a chicken with a severed head into my backyard...... These two threats really made me nervous for a while, but they didn't really make a big move, maybe they were a little afraid that I could spell, right? As for the headless chicken, I didn't want to throw it away, plucked it and stewed it into a fragrant chicken soup.
The third thing happened just now, and it made me quite depressed and frustrated. After persevering and hard practice, I finally opened up the three yin and three yang in my hands, and a total of twelve meridians with three yin and three yang, thinking that the yin and yang tricks were complete and I could shake my majesty, so I ran to tell Master very excitedly early in the morning. As a result, Master told me that I had only just practiced the first level of the Yin and Yang Technique, and that I had just started, and that there were second, third, and fourth levels to follow......
I thought the master was joking with me, but he turned out a broken book to show me, it was the grandfather's practice experience, there are words, pictures and truths, I really only practiced the first layer of "Tai Chi Chaos", and in ancient times, I couldn't even be regarded as an onmyoji.
What is Tai Chi Chaos? That is, the aura in my qi sea cave is chaotic, neither yin nor yang, continue to cultivate, the aura will be separated from yin and yang, and become two strands that rotate endlessly like yin and yang fish, and you can call yin or yang qi at will, so as to reach the second layer of "two yi yin and yang";
If you continue to cultivate, the two qi of yin and yang will reach the extreme, you will give birth to yin in yang, yang in yin, less yin in the sun, and less yang in the taiyin.
There is also the fourth layer of "Five Elements of Immortality" and the fifth layer of "Back to Basics", which have not been refined by several ancestors of the Zhou family, so I don't know what it looks like.
The master said very seriously: "We are the onmyoji of the authentic lineage, not charlatans, how can the yin-yang technique, as the most basic and important exercise, be practiced in one year?" You only lay a foundation for a high-rise building, the more difficult it is to go back, the vast majority of people can only reach the second floor in their lifetime, only a very small number of people can reach the third floor, as for the fourth and fifth floors, I have not heard of anyone who has successfully practiced in recent hundreds of years. β
Seeing that I was disappointed, Master's tone softened a little: "You are very fast, the first level of ordinary people need more than five years to practice, and it took you less than a year, in layman's terms, you are a rare genius in a hundred years, enough to be proud." But you have to be mentally prepared, the more you go to the back, the more difficult it is, and the Yin and Yang Technique is more difficult to practice than the Taoist Neidan Gong...... Well, I only ask you to reach the third level before the age of thirty, there is no higher demand. β
I couldn't help but ask, "Master, what state have you reached?" β
"Ahem, ahem, I'm not basically uncultivated now." The master seemed a little embarrassed and refused to answer directly.
I suddenly remembered one thing, I am thirty years old, am I really not going to live to be thirty years old? I asked, "Master, weishenme must reach the third level before the age of thirty?" β
"This, this, ahem...... This is a guarantee that I have set up for you, it is a spell against the sky that can prolong your life 100% successfully, and it is a life-saving trick passed down from generation to generation by the authentic Yin and Yang family, and you must reach the third layer of the Yin and Yang recipe to use this spell. β
I was overjoyed: "It turns out that there is such a trick for B, hurry up and teach me." β
The master immediately shook his head: "No, I can't teach you now!" β
"Weishenme can't do it?"
"You don't cultivate enough, you can't use it at all, and if you use it forcibly, you will definitely fail, and this spell can only be used once in your life."
If I don't learn such a magical spell, I won't be able to eat and sleep, so I immediately raised my hand to the sky: "I swear to the ancestors of the past dynasties, I will never use the Yin and Yang Technique until it reaches the third layer!" β
The master looked embarrassed, and said: "It's still not good, I am responsible for your future, in short, I will arrange haode, I will teach when I should teach, I will tell you what I should say, you don't have to be in a hurry." β
I'm even more depressed, Master, your old man has been in poor health, if you fall asleep one day and don't wake up, who should I ask for this zuihou protection? However, I can't curse Master to my face, and I don't want such a thing to happen, so I must never say this. I think Master has a lot of things to hide from me, but if he refuses to say it, he refuses to say it, and when he is poor, he relies on the old and sells the old, and I have nothing to do.
Just when our master and apprentice were deadlocked, a man's voice came from the door: "Is Mr. Zhou Tan at home?" β
Master and I hurriedly got up and walked to the door of the bedroom to look out, and the two of us were immediately stunned at this sight, we couldn't hide from what we should have come, but we still came!
The man was in his early forties, with fair skin, good facial features, rich and rich, wearing a snow-white shirt, straight trousers, shiny leather shoes, and looked like a village cadre, but when he looked at him, you would find that his eyes were a little cold and harsh, which was unsettling, and no one here did not recognize him - he was Chen Youyuan, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Butterfly Gang!
Chen Youyuan is ostensibly self-employed, has contracted a large number of tea plantations and orange groves, contracted a passenger fleet in his hometown (in fact, it is a monopoly and raised ticket prices), has set up a carving factory in the township, has two and several song and dance halls, and many other businesses that I don't know.
Chen Youyuan was followed by two young men in their twenties, strong and strong, neatly dressed, without dyeing their hair or wearing earrings or other parts, carrying a lockbox.
I admit that I used to watch too many Hong Kong and Taiwan films, and I immediately thought of gangster deals or negotiations in Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas, and if the lockbox was not full of money, it must be a firearm......
After all, the master is an old man who has become a fine man, and after being stunned for a while, he greeted him with a smile: "The old man is Zhou Tan, and Boss Chen is a busy man, what kind of wind is blowing today, and it actually blew you here." β
Chen Youyuan quickly glanced at Master and me, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "I heard that Mr. Zhou is very capable, so he came to you to have a look." β
"Don't dare, don't dare, the level of decay is limited, and the villagers are really in trouble, so they have to do a favor, and they really can't talk about their skills. Boss Chen, please take a seat. β
Master motioned for me to pour tea, but I stood still, this is the "enemy of the people", how can I pour tea for him to drink? It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, and it's good to make a decision.
Chen Youyuan gave Master a Chinese salute, and I refused, although I also kind of wanted to try this legendary cigarette, but I definitely couldn't be bought by the dark shili. Then my master began to run the train with his mouth full, what is clear and beautiful, famous all over the world; The ears have hanging beads, and the rich and noble live together; The mouth is purple and square, and the Grange is widely bought...... Please, look at it comprehensively, and besides, his mouth is neither purple nor square, and his earlobes are not very obvious.
Alas, for the sake of a Chinese one, the festival has lost a place.
Chen Youyuan also knew that my master was talking nonsense and flattery, but he smiled and nodded. The master foamed at the mouth, and after talking for a few minutes, his tone suddenly changed: "But...... There are two breaths of green and black on your seal hall, the green lord is weird, the black lord is worried, I'm afraid there are some weird things that make you annoyed. β
Chen Youyuan immediately straightened his waist, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. I was taken aback, if the master wants to fool people, he has to pick a more professional sentence, Yintang's blackened big bra is completely said by charlatans, and there is no gold content.
Chen Youyuan didn't get angry, his eyes narrowed even smaller, and he said quietly: "Can you say it in more detail?" β
The master stood up unhurriedly, approached Chen Youyuan with wide eyes and looked carefully, left and right, up and down, and saw that Chen Youyuan was restless, so he smiled and said: "The black qi xiangshang in your seal hall extends to the Zhongzheng position, Zhongzheng represents colleagues, and the other friendship position is obscure, representing the affairs of friends, it can be seen that what you are worried about is not your own business, but the business you are running in partnership with others is not going well." β
As soon as these words came out, Chen Youyuan stood up, and the two young people behind him also showed surprise and glanced at each other. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Chen Youyuan's face, there was no black gas in Yintang, but there was really a little bit of darkness on the Zhongzheng and Jiao Friend positions, like a feeling of dirt, but it was very slight, if it wasn't for the master to point it out, I wouldn't have noticed it at all.
PS: "Zhongzheng" is one finger width above the Yin Hall, and "Jiao Peng" is two finger widths above the Yin Tang and then moves horizontally about two finger widths.
Chen Youyuan put on a smiling face, and gave his hand again and again: "Mr. really lives up to his reputation, powerful, powerful, you helped me resolve this matter, no one will dare to be disrespectful to you in the future, you can come to me if you have any difficulties." β
The smile that Master and I just showed froze on our faces, he was threatening us, if we help him resolve it, he can ignore the previous affairs, and he will cover the two of us, if we don't help him resolve it, it is estimated that the warning of the bloody handprint and the headless chicken will be fulfilled.
I was young and vigorous, and I couldn't help but have a seizure, but I was pulled to the back by the master, and he smiled: "Boss Chen is a noble man who does big business, and he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune, where does it need to be resolved?" β
Chen Youyuan said: "Mr. Zhou is to solve problems for the villagers, I am also contributing to the villagers, since Mr. Zhou knows me, he should have heard that I have built bridges and roads in nearby towns, donated money to schools, regulated the market, and done a lot of good things." β
"This ...... Ahem, Boss Chen will talk about the matter first, if I can do it, of course, I will try my best to resolve it, if I can't do it, Boss Chen will invite someone else, how about it? β
