Volume 1 The Vessel of Hao Chapter 16 The Seal of the Eight Runes
Walking down the mountain road to Tiandao Mountain, the cold wind made Eryan Valley shiver a little, at the end of this mountain road, at the bottom of the mountain, there was a slightly dilapidated wooden house, from the beginning of the Tiandao Mountain, Eryan Valley felt strange, why such a dilapidated wooden house would be built on the road to Tiandao Sect.
Standing in front of the wooden house at this moment, Yan Yan Gu still couldn't understand why the Heavenly Dao Sect would let such a wooden house be built on the road that must be passed at the entrance of the Heavenly Dao Mountain.
The wooden sign hanging on the eaves was creaked by the wind, and Eryangu glanced up at the wooden sign, which read, "Selling all levels of Taoist talismans, practical talismans, and daily necessities."
Eryangu walked to the other side of the wooden sign to see if there was a name for the store, and the other side said the same thing, and did not specifically give the store a name.
It's really a strange shop, but this should be the grocery store that Shi Lingli said, Eryangu glanced around, and there were no other buildings on this road.
Just as Yan Yan Gu was looking at the wooden house, a fire suddenly lit up in the house, and the light leaked out through the cracks in the wall, and Yan Gu also heard two voices coming from the house, one old and one young. Eryangu tried to peek inside the crack, but he didn't notice that he stepped on a branch under his feet, and the sound of the branch breaking was very loud, probably heard in the house.
Yan Gu couldn't help but stiffen his body, didn't dare to move for half a minute, and tried to hold his breath.
"What sound?" Wang Zhao's voice sounded in the room.
"Don't bother, it could be a small animal passing by and stepping on a branch. ”
"Uncle, you still don't have a sense of crisis. ”
"Why do you have a sense of crisis?"
It seemed that the people in the house had no intention of coming out, and Eryangu just breathed a sigh of relief, and his stiff body relaxed, and just as he was about to continue looking, the door of the wooden house was pushed open.
Wang Miao leaned against the door frame, looked at Eryangu with a surprised face, and said with a smile: "Who did I think it was, isn't this the little master of the Er's family, what are you doing here in the morning?"
Eryangu was speechless for a long time, and then Wang Zhao leaned out of the house and saw Eryangu standing at a glance: "You are...... The one in my son's house, uh, what's the name, I'm sorry I forgot. ”
"I ...... It's called the Valley of Words. "Eryangu didn't know how he said his name.
"Then Young Master Eryangu, is there anything wrong with coming to the shop early in the morning?" Wang Miao deliberately asked Eryangu in a very sour tone.
"Please don't call me that. Yan Gu obviously felt uncomfortable with Wang Miao's title, but he didn't dare to express his attitude clearly.
"So what do you want me to call ......?"
"Don't talk about it, Sanshui, I asked him to come over. Shi Lingli didn't know when he came, he was sitting on the edge of the eaves watching them.
After hearing Shi Lingli's voice, Wang Miao immediately looked up at her and put on a helpless face: "Coming down from above, my room can't stand being alone sitting on it." ”
"Do you mean I'm heavy?" Shi Lingli jumped off the roof with a little displeasure.
"You're as heavy as a mountain," Wang Miao teased and asked, "What did you ask him to come over for?"
"You should have guessed it, so that there are three of you, isn't there a greater hope of breaking through to the fifteenth floor of the Beast Spirit Tower next year? ”
"You want him to come and learn talismans from me?"
"Eh, learn talismans from him?" even Eryangu himself was surprised.
"Don't talk, just listen. Shi Lingli's words shocked Eryangu, and then continued to say to Wang Miao, "He wants to worship the Heavenly Dao Sect, but we can't accept him, so I think you are a good choice." ”
"So I'm just a waste person who picks up things that you Heavenly Dao Sect don't need. ”
"Don't say that, it's not that the Heavenly Dao Sect doesn't want it, but if you can't afford it, the Er's family is not something that the Heavenly Dao Sect can provoke. But you can. ”
"The Heavenly Dao Sect can't afford to mess with it, so I can afford to mess with it?" Lingli Hall Master, I'm not a member of a noble family now, just a small grocery store owner. Wang Miao turned her face to the side and didn't look at Shi Lingli.
"Sanshui, that's not what I meant. Listen to me, this kid ......"
Before Shi Lingli finished speaking, Wang Miao interrupted him: "You don't have to say anything. I asked him something. ”
Obviously, he was reluctant to teach Yangu at the beginning, and immediately changed his face to ask Yangu about it. Shi Lingli knew that this person actually wanted to come as many people as possible.
Wang Miao walked up to Eryan Valley and squatted down, letting his eyes be at eye level with his: "Tell me, why did you leave Er's house and go to the Heavenly Dao Sect to cultivate talismans." There is no way for the Heavenly Dao Sect to teach you the art of the Eight Runes. ”
"I don't want to spend my life carrying the name of the Eight Fu, if it just goes on like that, I will only remain the Eryan Valley of the Eight Fu Family. I was asked by my father to pursue the future of my son's family, and I was forced to chase after my brother's shadow, and everyone wanted me to be a second brother. But I don't want to, I'm Eryan Valley, I'm not the second person, and I'm not the first generation to inherit the Eight Fu Technique. I want to practice runes freely, and I don't want to carry the burden of my family to practice runes!"
"Is that so? I guess I understand. Is that why you have to come here even if you have betrayed your family's traditions, risking the possibility of being severely punished by your family? ”
Wang Miao grabbed Eryangu's chest violently, and tore his clothes open, Eryangu's chest was exposed, and on the position of his heart, there was a curse mark with complex patterns, Eryangu didn't know why he did this, and the whole person was stunned.
"Do you know what this is?" Wang Miao asked him, pointing to the spell mark.
Yan Gu shook his head, he only knew that this mark had grown on his body since he was a child, and his family had never told him what it was.
"The Seal of the Eight Runes, this is the spell mark that your family must have carved since childhood in order to cultivate the Eight Runes, this spell mark allows you to use the Eight Runes, and at the same time, you can no longer use Dao techniques other than the Eight Runes. Wang Miao said coldly.
Yan Gu looked down at the curse mark on his chest, and his expression gradually became uneasy: "Can't this curse mark be taken down?"
"This sigil is not just carved on the surface, but it goes deep into your heart. Do you want to take it down? Yes, just dig out your heart. ”
"Isn't that ......?"
"Yes, as long as you die, you can get rid of the shadow of the Eight Runes. Wang Miao's gloomy voice stained a ten-year-old child's heart with a great haze, Eryangu didn't dare to make any sound, a child rarely thought of death, but this time his wish was cut off by ruthless death, he couldn't take this step.
"Sanshui, what are you saying to a child?" Shi Lingli on the side really couldn't stand it, even if it was in the son's family, this fact would only be told when he was recognized by the family that he could take charge alone.
"Maybe I shouldn't have said this to you at this time," Wang Miao's voice didn't pretend to be gloomy anymore, "I originally thought that you could do such a stupid thing as running away from home, and maybe you might be braver than my friend, it seems that I was wrong." ”
"Huh?" Yan Gu looked at Wang Miao with some puzzlement, but Wang Miao stood up, as if he didn't plan to say anything to him anymore, and he didn't know where the impulse came from, Yan Yan Gu shouted at Wang Miao who turned around: "I don't have any other choice?"
Wang Miao stopped, and Eryan Gu vented his unwillingness: "I don't want to live in the shadow of the family, I don't want to be said to be the Eryan Valley of the Bafu Family, I want to grow up better than my brother and sister by myself!"
Listening to Eryan Valley's words, Wang Miao seemed to be a little moved, family, the word really hasn't appeared in his mind for a long time. Wang Miao turned around: "No one can grow without relying on the support of others, otherwise, there is no need for a teacher in this world to teach and solve doubts." There's no way for you not to continue practicing the Eight Fu Technique, but I know that there is a special Dao technique in this Dao Realm, which is based on the Eight Fu and is higher than the Eight Fu, and the person who practices this Dao Technique happens to be known to me. ”
Yan Gu seemed to see some hope, and looked at Wang Miao's eyes that seemed to have more light.
"Don't look at me like that, it's disgusting. Wang Miao had a cold face, "Now you are not qualified for me to introduce you to him." ”
"Then how can I ......" Yan Gu was anxious all of a sudden, and finally saw a glimmer of hope, how could he let go so easily.
Shi Lingli smiled on the side: "Silly boy, can't you hear what he means? Follow him and practice the Eight Fu Technique well, and when he acknowledges you, he will naturally introduce that person to you." ”
After suddenly hearing Shi Lingli's words, Yan Yangu looked at Wang Miao blankly, unable to believe that this person meant such a thing. But Wang Miao didn't seem to want to admit Shi Lingli's words, so he pretended to be indifferent.
"If you want, you can stay, anyway, I'm not as comfortable as you are at home, just don't shout bitterness when the time comes. By the way, let me ask you a question, how many clever talismans can you do now?"
"Three coincidences. ”
"No, I heard that when your brother was your age, he could already do four tricks. Even if you continue to stay in your family, you will always be a shadow of your brother. ”
Wang Miao's sentence deeply pierced the sore spot in Er Yangu's heart, and his throat kept suppressing his voice, the pain made him unable to say any words, not only his brother Siqiao was better than him, but his younger sister Er Yan was a genius girl who could control the eight-trick charm since she first came into contact with the Batong Fu.
Seeing Eryangu's reaction, a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Miao's mouth, and he turned around and walked towards the house, but stopped in front of the door.
"Since you plan to stay here and cultivate, I won't teach you nothing, but since I will guide you, do you have to call me anything?"
"Yes, teacher. Eryan Gu immediately understood, and shouted loudly to Wang Miao Teacher, his face was full of uncontrollable joy, and the corners of Wang Miao's mouth with his back to him were also smiling, Shi Lingli looked at him like this and said secretly in his heart, didn't he just want others to call him a teacher.
"There are a lot of requirements to be my student, but that's more about that later. Wang Miao stretched and was about to walk into the house.
"But that way, you'll be able to get three people together to break into the tower. Shi Lingli said this to Wang Miao.
"No, it's four. ”
"Four?" Shi Lingli was a little skeptical if he had heard it wrong, Wang Zhao, Xu Zifeng and Eryangu only had three people combined, why would Wang Miao name four people.
"Lingli, I plan to let Zhang Haotian enter the Beast Spirit Tower, of course, I have to let him use the talisman first, and then see if he can do it, that kid is still possible. ”
