Chapter 97. A baggage
Before that, I always thought that in Qin Bukong's blood, there was no word stop. When I asked this sentence with a stone brick in my hand, in fact, I thought that he would say that he would continue to start immediately, although everyone was very tired, but Qin Bukong seemed to be the most enthusiastic about this matter among the three of us.
But when he said this, I was still slightly surprised. That's fine, let's rest for a few days.
Without the nightmare, I slept so soundly that night that I didn't even have a dream. For the next two or three days, I collapsed in the door every day doing nothing to bask in the sun, like a lazy cat. Wuhan will gradually become very hot in this season, so every noon, almost all people choose to rest in a shaded place, but I feel the sun unscrupulously, maybe because I know that it is not easy for me to escape a few days ago, maybe the place we are going to next is still underground, so since the sun is still there, let's come presumptuously.
In the past few days, the three of us have been like a tacit understanding, and no one has mentioned the matter of the Seven Evils again, or even discussed those four words. And I knew in my heart that maybe Qin Bukong and I would enjoy this rare leisure, but not Songzi. After all, the only purpose for him to come down the mountain to help us is also that he hopes to take this opportunity to enrich his own experience, after this incident, he can return to the palace to study and study, which will be a valuable experience for him to walk down the mountain in the future. So Matsuko will definitely be the most idle of the three of us, although he didn't discuss it with us, but I know in my heart that he quietly did a lot of research while we were all resting.
It's easy to spot, from the fact that he goes out early and comes home late every day.
And Qin Bukong in those few days, in addition to the daily closed-door practice, was to fry some peanuts by himself and drink silently alone, it seems that this state is also what he is looking forward to. The most surprising thing to me was that Ganmu, the stupid snake, didn't know when it began, and became more and more like a dog, so much so that when I teased it, it would wag its tail at me.
On the fourth day, Qin Bukong asked me if I had rested enough. I said I still want to ask you, if you want to continue, just say it. Qin Bukong shook his head and said, Breaking through the level is not busy for a while, I asked you if you have rested enough, there is something else. So I got up lazily and asked him what the hell was going on. Qin Bukong turned around and went back to his inner room, pulled out a blue cloth wrapped bag from under the cabinet and handed it to me, when I took it, I found that it was hard and heavy, compared to the size of this burden, it was indeed a little heavier.
Qin Bukong sat down in front of me and looked at me with a puzzled expression. I thought to myself, what does the old thing mean, give me such a big burden, is it to sweep me away? Qin Bukong asked me to open it and take a look, this is specially prepared for me. When I unfolded my baggage, I found that there were about a dozen books bound in blue thread, which looked old and looked like they were some years old. In addition, there are some things I have seen or failed to see before, the part I have seen, there is a little figure about half a foot long made of pure twine, the hands and feet of the little man are still able to move freely, there are some red spots and pinholes on the top of the hemp rope, and there are some burnt marks, this thing I recognize, it is a needle puppet used to cast spells. This thing has always been regarded as evil art by us, but Qin Bukong has never been a decent person, so there is no need to argue.
In addition, among the things I know, there is also a small bamboo tube with the thickness of a little thumb, one of which has a diagonal cut of a mouth, which looks like a whistle, but on the other end is a snake with a coiled body, the carving is relatively rough and simple, it seems that Qin Bukong carved it himself.
On the other side, there was something I didn't recognize, but I knew it was a knife. It's just that the shape of this knife is very strange, not straight like a dagger or a short sword, nor the shape of a "7" like a sickle, it looks like a question mark, like a hook, about a foot long, rusty on the top, and the handle is close to the person's hand holding posture, carving some wavy feeling. At the point where the thumb should be held, there is a small semi-circular iron ring, which seems to be specially designed to hold the thumb so that it can be grasped more steadily.
The most unusual thing is that at the end of the handle, there is a small protruding strip, but there are many slender long hairs tied side by side on the long strip. There is no scabbard, but the curve of the scimitar is about the size of a person's neck, so it is not difficult to imagine that this should be a scimitar used to take a person's head.
I wondered for a while, I didn't know what Qin Bukong's intention was in handing over these things to me. Especially that scimitar, although the world is not good now, but it is not a reckless and chaotic world, can I still take this knife to the outside to take people's heads? Qin Bukong looked at me with a puzzled expression, so he smiled and said to me, these things are all for you, they are all things that I have used before, but after all these years of craftsmanship, I can't use them anymore. I'm passing them on to you now, and I hope you'll find time to study them, and with your foundation and your current age, you'll be able to leave me far behind in a few years.
With Qin Bukong, an arrogant and arrogant person, he was afraid that it would be more difficult to say such words that others would be stronger than him, but now he said to me in such a natural and calm tone, for a while, I didn't know how to answer. So he stammered, but I read books by myself and no one taught me, and I can't learn them, these things belong to witchcraft, which is a little different from my own background, and I don't know if I can learn it or not.
Qin Bukong said that these books are all easy to understand, but if you don't memorize the mental method and practice method in advance, although you can understand it, it will not work. This little witch let you learn not so that you can use it to curse others in the future, but so that you can quickly find the opponent's weaknesses after knowing the other party's information, and this little witch is used to practice judgment for you. You must know that people in this world are much more complex than ghosts, and if you can grasp the weaknesses of the other party in a short period of time, then you will definitely be invincible.
When Qin Bukong said this, I sensed a feeling of regret and helplessness in his tone. He has been fighting against his fate all his life, and he originally went along with his fate, maybe it was simpler, and he wouldn't have had such a hard time. It is precisely because he is incompatible with his surroundings that he has fallen into the name of a weird person, as long as people who know him, they will look at him with a strange eye before really getting to know him. Suddenly, I understood why Qin Bukong had such emotions, maybe it was the rest of the past few days that made him think about it a lot, maybe he thought that he was like the old-timers who left this magnificent array at the beginning, no matter how high his skills and skills were, so what, there are always fewer people in the world who understand and are close to him.
Although Qin Bukong and I only got to where we are today after a bad relationship, I have to say that I am probably the person who knows him and understands him best in the world today, so he taught me these things and wanted to teach me to learn, probably because of this. I nodded silently, and then picked up the little witch and put it on my bed, I know how to help the wooden man, so I thought that there should be some similarities in learning, and it will not be particularly difficult.
Qin Bukong went on to say that this bamboo whistle was used when performing the hoop mountain method, although it was carved with a snake, it was by no means limited to snakes. I'll find a time to teach you the techniques of this spell, and you'll need to practice the rest yourself, starting with ants and earthworms, and over time, not only snakes, but even tigers and leopards will be able to control them.
Frankly, I was fascinated when I first heard that he had conquered Ganmu, and now that I have the opportunity to learn this set of spells that don't seem to be of much use against the enemy, I am even looking forward to it.
So I put the bamboo whistle next to the bed to show my acceptance. At this time, Qin Bukong reached out and picked up the scimitar from his baggage, stared at it for a long time, and in his eyes, it seemed that he was thinking about the past. He rubbed his thumb against the edge of the scimitar, the knife could be seen to have not been polished for a long time, even the blade was a little dull, and the rust-looking places looked particularly dull, but it was not the kind of rust that fell off at the touch of it, but the feeling of old rust after a long period of precipitation. Qin Bukong said to me, this knife was passed down to me by my Abba back then, and my Abba was passed down from his previous hand, and I don't know how many years it has been passed on, but it is a must-have for our Black Miao Wizards. And you see that the hair on this knife handle, every little hair, is the hair of our former wizard, and when it is passed into our hands, it means that the mana of our predecessors is also passed on to us.
As soon as I heard this, I was in awe, and then I stood up and said to Qin Bukong, then I can't accept this thing, how can I be virtuous, I just learned some fur tricks from you, since this is for the Black Miao Wizard, I am neither a wizard nor a Miao person, how can I afford it?
Qin Bukong handed me the knife and said, you must accept this, as long as you study carefully, you will definitely be able to surpass me. Besides, these days, every time I see you attack ghosts, you use things such as the master's order, and I am also your master, so you should also use this weapon.
So I stopped talking, a little conflicted, even a little resistant, but I still accepted it obediently.
