Chapter 12 Apprenticeship is Impossible (Collect and Wish)

"Thank you~Big~Brother~ Take me as an apprentice~"

"I don't want it. ”

"You promised to teach me Taoism. ”

"I only promised to teach you how to resist fire. ”

"You said you would teach me until I could. ”

"So what?"

"If I Never ......"

"You're fooling?"

"No, I have already told you my plan, it is not a trick or a conspiracy, it is a righteous and bright 'strategy'. ”

Xie Daozhi was speechless, this illogical-sounding conversation seemed to make sense, why did this little girl have so many crooked reasons.

He had no choice but to explain to her seriously: "I can't accept you as an apprentice, because it is a very important matter for me to accept an apprentice, and I need to go back to my ancestral home to pray to the heavens, and ask for the consent of my ancestors before I can accept you as an apprentice." ”

"I don't believe it, it's just an apprentice, and it's not a wife, why do you need your family to agree?"

"I'm a Taoist priest, and I can't marry a wife. ”

"Is this the point? The point is, why do you need the consent of your ancestors to accept disciples?"

"Because I don't marry a wife, my apprentice is my only descendant, and he will inherit our family name and all my abilities. "That's why I don't have any apprentices yet.

Li Yingluo's big eyes looked at him in disappointment, and the corners of her soft eyes drooped, as if she wanted to cry.

"Ahem!" Xie Daozhi hurriedly added: "Although I can't accept you as an apprentice, as a senior, it's still completely okay to instruct the juniors in their homework, such as what fire spells, what healing techniques, these are not my family's secret techniques, and I can teach you completely." ”

"Wow! That's great!" Yingluo jumped up, happily hugged his neck, and said with a smile: "Thank you! Brother Xie, you are so good!"

Ahem!

Xie Daozhi saw that she was simply happy, so he was embarrassed to push her away.

He has been alone for thousands of years, not that he has not met good talents and beautiful qualities, and he has also met several cultivators who were born with fire-based talents, but ......

"Okay, okay, listen to me carefully, I'll read a sentence, you follow a sentence, you can't stop, okay?"

"Wait a minute, can you just recite this spell? I'll remember it if you say it once, no need to repeat it. ”

Xie Daozhi raised her forehead, what did this girl grow up eating?

"Do you know why there is a 'mouth' in the word 'yan'?"

"Because you have to use your mouth to speak. ”

"Then do you know why there are two 'mouths' in the word 'curse'?"

"Because...... Do you want two people to read it together?"

"It's not far away, it's not far. ”

"Now we all can speak and write, so it doesn't seem like the word is mysterious. However, at the beginning of Taoism, there were very few literate people, and even very few people could speak well, and most of them could only use everyday words such as 'no' and 'no', and mantras were produced at that time. ”

"The two mouths of the mantra represent, you recite the mantra, and I answer. ”

"You've always seen Journey to the West, right?"

"The gourd of the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King is still a clean bottle, and it must be called someone else's name, such as 'Sun Xingzhi', and then if Sun Wukong ignores it, the spell will fail, and if Sun Wukong answers, it will be received in the bottle. ”

"This is a classic example of a mantra. ”

Li Yingluo listened to this unheard of explanation, and gradually fell into a trance, she held the back of the chair with both hands, and sat upside down with a very cute appearance, a little face was buried in her arms, only a pair of big eyes flashed and flashed, but it was exactly the same as her little fox's greedy expression.

"The so-called 'mantra' is to recite a text completely according to the established rhythm, speed and intonation, and the more complex the mantra, the more you can't make a mistake. ”

"And when you cast a spell, you have to use your 'qi' to send the spell out so that the beings who can respond to your spell can hear it. ”

Xie Daozhi said this, stretched out his hand, and a flame appeared again.

Li Yingluo suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Hey, hey, you haven't even read it, why did this fire come out." ”

Xie Daozhi smiled slightly: "That's what I'm going to say later, when your 'qi' is strong enough, your mind can become a 'curse'." ”

"Isn't this Laipi, then what spell do I still learn, I just need to practice qi. ”

This idiot!

"You started to practice qi at this age, and you practiced to the point where you can use your mind to resist fire, I'm afraid that if you don't want five hundred years, you can wait for three hundred years, I have no opinion. ”

The little head fell down.

"Although you have almost no spiritual power, you are born with the ability to resist the earth, this is because you and the earth are of the same attribute, and you can be said to have the same language, so as soon as you move your thoughts, the earth spirit can understand and respond immediately. ”

So, I'm pretty good. A pair of big eyes flashed again.

"As I said earlier, language has been a mysterious thing since ancient times, and in ancient times any language had magical powers, perhaps because there were few people who could speak, so sometimes straightforward curses would work. ”

"You should have read these in the novels of Zhiwei, two neighbors quarreled, one cursed the other 'I cursed your whole family to die, cut off children and grandchildren' and so on, and the other family really went extinct. ”

"And now there are people everywhere every day who are talking non-stop, most of them are meaningless nonsense, chaotic, so the spiritual power of language is basically ineffective. ”

"However, the spell did not lose its spiritual power, on the contrary, because there were fewer and fewer people who could respond, and more and more creatures could respond, the effectiveness of the spell was actually getting stronger and stronger. ”

"Teacher, wait a minute!" Li Yingluo raised her hand, and her honest and serious appearance in class made people laugh.

"Okay, Li Yingluo, what's the problem. Xie Daozhi said with a smile.

"Aren't you talking about human beings, or do you mean the elements of fire, wind, and earth?"

"Everything in nature is a living thing. ”

"For example, if you recite the Wind Resisting Mantra, the one who responds to you is the Wind Spirit, and if you recite the Fire Resisting Mantra, the one who responds to you is the Fire Spirit. ”

"What about the man?" asked Yingluo.

"Human beings also exist in the natural world, and as long as they are living beings, they will respond to the 'curse'. ”

"Wow, is there a 'mantra' that can control people to do this and that. ”

"What do you want to do, don't learn well at a young age!" Xie Daozhi looked really angry, he rebuked her seriously: "There are naturally spells to control people, but that is a taboo in cultivation, throughout the ages, all Taoist priests who practice this kind of evil art, none of them have a good end." ”

"I'm not, I'm just watching Ah Ran's little mother go too far, and I just want to control her to make a fool of herself and tease her. Li Yingluo didn't understand why his face changed all of a sudden, and he was a little weak-hearted, so he hurriedly explained.

Xie Daozhi calmed down and said softly: "Cultivators take the common people of the world as their own responsibility, and this sentence is indeed an absolute law that our cultivators follow all their lives. So every time you say that, I have self-reflection to see if I've actually done it. ”

But cultivators also have two basic rules for dealing with the world: do not disturb the world, and do not use forbidden arts. ”

"The first rule is very simple, that is, you can't participate in politics, between countries, you beat me and I beat you, we can't participate in this, let alone use our own Taoism to help. Some Taoist priests who are hungry for profit have violated this article, perhaps you have seen it in the history books, these people may have been prominent at that time, and in the end they must have died a bad death, leaving a stench for 10,000 years. ”

"The second rule is that you can't use forbidden techniques, for example, the 'mind control technique' you just mentioned is a forbidden technique. ”

"It's hard to disobey this if you want to, anyway, I won't teach you forbidden arts. ”
