The stone looked at the person, the figure was short and fat, with a pure yang scarf on his head, his eyes were bright, shining with green light, his nose was flat, his face was square and his mouth was wide, three strands of long hair, floating to his chest, he was dressed in a green and white gauze over-the-shoulder python shirt, the neckline and cuffs were embroidered with green wavy patterns, and the waist was tied with a jade belt of fairy crane syrup, and a piece of gold box tiger inlaid with jewels and jade pendants hung down, the color was ancient and elegant, and the style was old.

"yes, who are you?"

"Little master, you don't have to go forward, come with the old man. The old man smiled and led the stone into the woods, and after a few steps, he saw a village courtyard with a courtyard wall gatehouse, and a row of attic tiled houses, all of which were red walls and gray roofs, and were very regular.

The stone hesitated for a moment, but it is rare to have a donor to talk, miss this shop, maybe there is no next village, so boldly follow the old man into the village, the yard is planted with strange flowers and plants, the fragrance is overflowing, along a stone path, the two of them go up the steps, into the living room.

As soon as I entered the living room, I suddenly felt that the fragrance was rich, the living room was arranged with a screen, a few cases, a couch, four chairs, a full moon painted on the marble luodian screen, surrounded by clouds, two incense burners carved into the shape of dragons and phoenixes flying were steaming on several cases, and there was a new blue kiln porcelain vase next to it.

After the guest sat down, the stone looked around, put his right hand in his arms, holding the black stone, he had a problem since he was a child, he was afraid to hold the obsidian, and his heart would be more relaxed, because every time he encountered danger, the obsidian could always save him, he didn't know why, the master told him that this stone was a spiritual stone, which could ward off evil spirits and eliminate demons, and asked him to keep it for a good life, not to show it easily.

Seeing this, the old man smiled and said, "Little master, don't be afraid, the old man invited you here, there is no malice." ”

The stone glanced at him, withdrew his hand from his bosom, lowered his head, raised his head again, looked at the old man carefully for a while, saw some clues in his green eyes, stood up suddenly, and exclaimed: "Toad! Are you the thousand-year-old toad?"

The old man nodded with a smile and said, "Don't panic, the old man is not an ordinary ghost, the ghost path five saints long live the toad and the witch toad are also." ”

The stone slowly sat down again, and said, "Long live the toad, then, what are you looking for me?"

The witch toad poured two cups of tea, pointed with his hand, the teacup flew up gently, and fell into the hand of the stone, the stone was so shocked that his jaw fell to the ground, it grew so big, he had never seen a real spell, calling for wind and rain, summoning ghosts and gods, these he had only heard in the scriptures that the master preached, he once couldn't help but ask the master: "How can I practice these spells?" Unfortunately, the master said that he would not either, but as long as he cultivates the Tao sincerely and helps the world, he does not need to practice these spells, and he can still prolong his life and attain the Tao.

It seems that he really has a master-apprentice fate with me, Wu Toad smiled and said: "The little master can recognize me, which means that the old man is really not mistaken, the little master has a strange appearance, and he is by no means vulgar, but——"

Shi took a sip of tea, felt that the tea was fragrant, and he was refreshed.

Wu Toad also took a sip of tea and continued: "But seeing that the little master's Taoism is shallow and his foundation is unstable, why is it?"

Stone shook his head, he didn't know, the master had never taught him.

In the past ten years, Liu Laodao has been chanting and meditating with stones on weekdays, in addition to reading and writing, roughly teaching stones a little Tianxin Five Thunder Righteous Method, as well as the basic method of breathing guidance, and the rest of the cultivation methods have not been taught, which cannot be blamed on Liu Laodao, after all, Liu Laodao does not know much about Taoism in addition to chanting scriptures, and his Taoism has only reached the fifth level of monks.

Wu Xue didn't care, and said: "Okay, the old man survived the thousand-year-old water disaster yesterday, and it was already difficult to escape the certainty, thanks to the little master's rescue with 800 words, the grace of saving his life, the old man must repay it, the money is easy to get, it's not worth a penny, why don't you teach you the Tao?"

Shi was afraid that the master would blame him, so he said timidly, "It's not good, I still want to turn into a relationship." ”

The witch toad opened his mouth and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Shi thought that if he knew how to use spells, he could be regarded as a real Taoist, and as long as he didn't do anything bad, the master shouldn't be angry, so he nodded again.

Since then, the stone has come down the mountain every day in the name of fate, to the east of the city to learn the Tao, and the witch toad to get along with the master and apprentice, when he returned in the afternoon, he will carry the food that the witch has already prepared, the ingredients are not found elsewhere, it is the owner of the fish stall, but the witch never asked for his opinion.

Liu Laodao usually does not go down the mountain, and some people rarely go to the east of the city to do things, so he has never found anything abnormal, but he feels that the food brought back by the stone seems to be bland, but it is actually very delicious.

Long live the toad is a ghost fairy who has been enlightened for a long time, belongs to the monster, one of the five saints of the ghost path, and the other four saints are: long live the white snake witch, long live the gecko witch, long live the centipede witch, long live the poisonous scorpion witch cricket, the witch toad and the other four because of differences in cultivation, hundreds of years ago, they parted ways, and they are incompatible.

The things of the ghost path are divided into: ghosts, demons, spirits, and monsters.

The ghost is the soul of the death, the yang life is not finished, the yin life is not finished, the ghost is ignored, the underworld is not collected, the soul wanders the world, sucks the yin qi, the success can not die or die, does not fall into reincarnation, according to the level of the Tao, it is divided into: wandering spirits, resentful ghosts, yakshas, and human demons.

The demon is a living creature with nine orifices that even obtains the aura of heaven and earth, a glimpse of the true arts, breathing guidance, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, cultivating the demon spirit, and the Dan is full of success, and can be transformed endlessly, according to the level of the Tao, it is divided into: white demon, gray demon, black demon, and red demon.

The spirit is the flowers, trees, and many utensils for a long time, and has been influenced by popularity, and has obtained the aura, and has collected the two qi of yin and yang to supplement the Tao, and the success can be refined and soared, and it is loaded into the immortal book, according to the level of the Tao, it is divided into: the earth spirit, the hope spirit, and the sun spirit.

The strange person is a living creature with nine incomplete and oviparous eyes, obtained the essence of the sun and the moon, practiced day and night, and can be reborn after success, at ease, strange practice, focusing on taking off the skin, opening a mouth through the sky behind the head, it looks like a red mark, according to the size of this mouth of the sky, divided into: two inches of strange, five inches of strange, eight inches of strange, ten inches of strange, the five saints of the ghost and fairy have already opened a ten-inch mouth of the sky, can transform into a human form, hidden and free.

Time flies, two spring and autumn seasons have passed, Wu Toad not only taught the guidance method of the stone ghost road cultivation, sucking the moon essence and the sun, sticking to the original, but also the 7749 pure yang swordsmanship to teach, this set of swordsmanship is created by the Kansai Immortal Lu Dongbin, specializing in killing evil and slashing demons, the witch does not know where to learn, and hid a boneless jade sword in the black stone, with a spell to control the access, the boneless jade sword is practiced by the witch with his own tongue, the yin qi devours people, and the fairy ghost has gone through hundreds of battles, has not tasted a defeat, it is the treasure of self-defense, and this thing is sent to the stone, which shows the sincerity of the witch's heart。

In his spare time, Wu Toad told the secret of the ghost road to the stone roughly, and he thought that the stone was a little stupid, and it was inevitable that he would be calculated in the future.

"Although people and ghosts have different paths, each has its own way of cultivation, but the ghost path is not an evil way, the cultivation of the mind is condensed, the Tao is natural, and the ghost path can also get positive results. After Wu Toad finished speaking, he seemed to have some thoughts on his mind, and his brows furrowed.

Wu Toad remembered the dispute with four fellow friends hundreds of years ago, the five saints of the ghost road were originally five poisonous insects at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and they had the opportunity to drink the water of the Tianchi on the top of Kunlun Mountain, and successively cultivated into ghosts and immortals, long live the white snake witch, long live the gecko witch, long live the centipede witch, long live the poisonous scorpion witch claw insisted on supplementing the true yuan with blood food, and the witch toad received a volume of "Taiping Sutra" from the hands of an unknown Taoist priest , then gave up the method of blood food, returned to the right path, and the cultivators have a lot of dealings, the witch toad wanted to persuade the four friends with the right way, but the four friends regarded the witch toad as a traitor, at first it was just an argument, and even later fought with their lives, the people of the Taoist gate also stirred in, the two sides fought a number of battles, all of them were killed and wounded, since then the four saints and the Taoist gate have formed a mortal enemy, the Taoist also swore to kill the five poisons, the witch toad was disheartened, and fled in disgrace, since then in the rivers and lakes are not visible, but the other four saints and the Taoist have never stopped chasing him.

Shi didn't understand very well, and asked: "However, I have been afraid of ghosts since I was a child, and Master often says that we want to kill demons and eliminate demons, and do the right thing for heaven, ghosts are so powerful, so what are we going to do in the future?"

Wu Xue smiled and said: "A good one for the heavens, don't worry about stones, since ancient times, evil is invincible, ghosts, although there are many evil arts, but there is a strange book in the world, "Record Ghost Book", which can summon ghosts and demons and serve spirits, so the things of ghosts and ghosts are not enough to be feared, not enough to be afraid. ”

"The Book of Ghosts?" Shi muttered, "where can I buy this book at the bookstore?"

Wu Toad smiled and said nothing, holding his long beard, "It's easy to get out, but there is nowhere to buy it, even the old man doesn't know, the time has not come, this book will not appear easily." ”

The witch also warned the stone that he must not tell a third person about the teachings of the Fa, otherwise, he would leak the secret of heaven and his life would be at stake.

The stone remembered the teachings of the witch toad, practiced hard every day, although the qualifications were dull and the acceptance was slow, but he gradually entered the door, the foundation was slowly stabilized, and the swordsmanship became more and more proficient.

On this day, the stone came to the woods in the east of the city early, but found that the original village in the woods was full of weeds, several tombs, where is there any village?

The stone saw a yellow piece of paper pasted on the trunk of a locust tree, and it was written: "The fate is here, don't go, don't leak the Fa, practice your heart, succeed in the Tao, don't look for it, there will be a period in the future!"
