All Chapters_Chapter 44: The Devil Is Coming
I looked at the master in a daze, I thought that the master would teach me those magical techniques directly, but I didn't expect the master to tell me a lot of Taoist metaphysics, and in the end, like the Bodhi ancestor said to Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West", he said: "Apprentice, what do you want to learn?" ”
When Master saw my eyes, he stroked his somewhat gray beard and said with a smile: "Although our vein has inherited the magic of exorcising demons and serving ghosts passed down by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, but at the same time, it has also derived many different branches because of the combination of various Taoist spells, for example, your senior sister is majoring in a line derived from the medical vein, and we also dabble in the rest of the various schools, if you want to learn, I can also teach you." ”
I saw that there seemed to be a hint of deep meaning in the master's eyes, and I couldn't help but think that many masters in the TV series would conduct some tests on their apprentices.
I secretly thought to myself, our Xuanyuan Hall lineage originated from the secret technique of exorcism and demon servicing passed down by the Yellow Emperor obtained by the Taishan Daoist, even if he later escaped into the hundred sects to learn the magic of each faction, its ultimate purpose is only to complete the secret art of the Yellow Emperor, so although our faction has derived various branches because of the combination of hundreds of Taoist techniques, but in the final analysis, these branches are all for the Yellow Emperor's secret arts, even if it seems to be unrelated to the branches of life, phase, divination, etc., I am afraid that even if I learn it, I will not have much achievement, For example, the master himself is also good at pinching his fingers to calculate and divination, but he didn't need to seek the help of Old Man Li at the beginning, which shows that our faction's attainments in the three veins of life, physiognomy, and divination are not deep.
Although the three veins of fate, phase, and fortune sound very powerful, measuring people's good fortune and evil, tending to good fortune and avoiding harm, which is close to the ability of immortals, but as the so-called rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, the strongest of our faction is the magic left by the Yellow Emperor and the spell method derived from the combination of the mountain character vein, and the technique of expelling ghosts and gods.
"Master, I want to learn the spell left by the ancestor of the Yellow Emperor and the technique of exorcism and demon service in the vein of the mountain character!" I raised my head, looked at Master, and said categorically.
I saw a gleam in Master's eyes, and he looked at me with a smile on his lips and nodded.
……
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle.
In the years that followed, I studied some techniques with my master in the Qingcheng Mountains, and at the same time, I went to school at the bottom of the mountain according to my parents' wishes.
It seems to be a deal that my father and Master made when they were in Tsing Yi Village, and Master took me as an apprentice to pass on his Taoism, and at the same time made sure that I could go to school and study like other children here in Dujiangyan.
In the eyes of my parents' generation, going to school and reading seems to be the way out for every child, and it is always good for the doll to read more books, even if I learned some powerful spells with the master, but in my mother's eyes, it is not as legitimate as going to school and studying to be admitted to university.
So, in the following days, I got up from bed before dawn every day, practiced the boxing techniques taught by the master in the courtyard, and then packed up my things and went down the steps of Qingcheng Mountain to the school at the bottom of the mountain. Speaking of which, I have to say that the plan of refining the body and exercising the body that Master brewed for me at the beginning did play a great role, and now I set off from the Taoist temple, and it takes less than an hour to run to the bottom of Qingcheng Mountain, which can be described as a brisk walk, and when I arrived at the destination, I was refreshed, and I didn't even take a breath of air.
You must know that when I first came down the mountain, it took a full two hours, and the progress was not small, and now I feel like a little tiger full of strength, full of energy, like the rising sun.
The days went by like this, maybe because I experienced too many unbelievable things, and I couldn't play with those children in school, and I always felt that they were a little naïve in my eyes, so in school, I seemed a little withdrawn. Studying and going to school is more like a thing that I do on time every day in my life, and I don't experience the joy of going to school as others say.
At first, Master would teach me some Taoist metaphysical knowledge every day, and then when Master saw that I had mastered the most basic things, he began to teach me some simple techniques.
I remember that Master first taught me to use charms to control a little rabbit caught from the mountain, when I first saw the hare constantly doing various movements under the change of my handprints, my heart was simply going to explode with joy, control animals, such a skill I have seen in the body of Wuwei Zhenren before, at that time I saw him put a charm on the yellow fox, reciting the spell can easily determine the fox's actions and life and death, at that time my heart was simply envious.
Now when I can control a life through charms and mudras, the excitement in my heart is simply beyond the limit, and the seals in my hands are constantly changing, controlling the hare in front of me to do all kinds of difficult movements, which makes me laugh.
Just as I was manipulating the hare and laughing happily, a small white and tender hand reached out, and she tore off the charm on the hare's forehead, and with both small hands picked up the hare, and gently stroked the hare's hair.
I was stunned for a moment, and saw that the person who appeared in front of me was actually my senior sister Mu Yueting. She held the hare in her arms, and the hare instantly fell silent, lying quietly on her hand.
"That's what you're learning the Tao for? Enjoy the thrill of manipulating your life? Mu Yueting hugged the hare in her arms, her two beautiful eyes stared at me coldly, and her face was as cold as a piece of ice.
I was choked up and speechless, to be honest, my feelings about Mu Yueting, the senior sister, are a little complicated, including some fear, but also a hint of closeness.
Although she had a cold face in front of me all day, I knew that her heart was not as cold as she appeared on the surface. I remember one afternoon not long ago, I was tired from practicing some martial arts taught by Master in the courtyard, so I fell asleep on a big chair at the door, and when I woke up, I found that I had a quilt on my body, and at that time, Master had gone to the Qingcheng Taoist School in Qianshan to chat with his old friends, and only Mu Yueting and I were in the entire Taoist temple. So who put that quilt on my body, the answer is naturally very clear.
And since then, I have found that Mu Yueting is not as cold as she appears on the surface, and there is still a warmth in her heart.
And what surprised me the most was that Mu Yueting was different from Master and me, she only ate vegetarian food and fruits for three meals a day, and I had never seen her open meat. You must know that home is different from Buddhism, and it is not too taboo for things like meat and wine, among which the largest Quanzhen Dao and Zhengyi in the Taoist Gate.
The Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Dao live a pure life, eat only vegetarian food, and cannot get married and have children, while the other major sect, that is, the disciples of the Heavenly Master Dao handed down by the ancestor Heavenly Master, they do not abstain from meat and fish, and can even get married and have children, which is no different from the people of the world. The rest of the loose cultivation sects have their own rules, but most of them don't have much requirements for meat and marriage.
Like us, who have a relationship with Taoism and do not belong to the orthodox Taoist heritage, we have no scruples about these, those who should eat meat eat meat, and those who should get married get married, otherwise my parents would not let me worship under the master's door, and inheritance is a concept of the secular people since ancient times.
I remember when I watched Master gnaw on chicken legs, while Mu Yueting was eating vegetarian dishes in small bites, I asked Master strangely at the time, why doesn't Senior Sister eat meat, Master smiled and said to me; "Your senior sister is different from us, she is a vegetarian."
I nodded as if I didn't understand at the time, and later found out that Mu Yueting not only doesn't eat meat, but is surprisingly good for some small animals and the like, which reminds me that when I was on the mountain behind Tsing Yi Village, Mu Yueting obviously controlled the nemesis of the dragon and snake like Fulong Cao, but she let Bai Yu leave and let it go, is this because of her good heart?
"Senior sister, I ......" I was stared at by Mu Yueting, a little uncomfortable, I wanted to explain, but I didn't expect Mu Yueting to listen at all, she looked at me coldly, hugged the hare and turned away.
Since this incident, I may have been influenced by Mu Yueting, and I have been a lot more careful when practicing some manipulation spells, and I will try to avoid appearing in front of Mu Yueting's eyes.
I was almost done practicing spells and spells such as manipulating animals, and I began to pester Master to teach me some spells to recruit ghosts and gods, but Master refused my request every time. He said, I'm still young, the child's yang energy is weak, if I accidentally attract those powerful and evil ghosts, then I'm afraid I will be attacked by the ghosts, after all, the child's body is not strong, and the yang energy on the body is insufficient, it is easy to be killed by those powerful ghosts. And I am even more burdened with a huge amount of luck, for some evil spirits sneaky, but a fragrant bait.
Master said, let me wait a little longer, when I grow up a little more, and the yang energy in my body is enough, he will teach me some spells to serve ghosts and gods.
And I waited for six years, until I was sixteen years old, my body was almost like an adult, and even much stronger than an ordinary man.
On that day, Master called me to me and said that I could learn the spell of summoning ghosts with him. I was so excited that I could finally start studying after six years of waiting, and I wanted to fly to the sky.
Master said that it was my first time to summon ghosts, so I first asked me to summon an ordinary ghost, which is an ordinary ghost that is basically non-lethal to humans, and then gradually recruit more powerful ghosts.
Following the method taught by my master, after preparing for a series of practices, I began to chant the mantra that summoned ordinary ghosts:
Heavenly Monarch Service Law, Xuanzhong Darkness!
The ghost is here, listen to my fate!
At the moment when I finished reciting the spell to summon ghosts, the wind rose strongly, and I felt a cloud of black gas rushing in, and the black mist was filled, covering the four fields, and I felt layers of goosebumps crawling up on my body, and there was a cold and creepy laugh from the black mist: "Giggle......"
My eyes widened as I saw a figure in a bright red wedding dress slowly walk out of the black mist......
