Chapter 18: The Eye of Heaven
"Mommy......" I stared at the burning snow-capped mountains and muttered involuntarily.
"Do you know now that the sky is wide and the earth is wide?" Master's voice came from behind me, turning back into a lazy tone, as if the distant voice just now was someone else.
The back that had been stiff and straight gradually relaxed, and the cold sweat found an opportunity to attack, and the thin clothes on his body were instantly soaked.
The wet fabric felt a little uncomfortable against my skin, and I twisted to make room for air.
"Why is the snowy mountain on fire?"
"That's not fire. Master grabbed me by the shoulders and corrected, "That's demonic energy. ”
"Demonic spirit?" I was stunned, "Yuan Thirteen kind?"
"Hmm. The master replied, "When the temple was broken, An Ge and I could see at a glance that the demonic energy on her body was rising, but the demonic energy on her body was so weak that it was not as good as a candle, so we didn't care much." ”
"Why didn't I see it then? Are you bluffing me? ”
Boom –
There was a crisp sound, and there was a sharp pain in the top of the head, so painful that tears were about to fall.
I protested loudly, "What are you doing-"
Why did you only have time to say two words before I despaired to find that my body was out of control again, and the last word was forced to hold in my mouth.
The master was triumphant behind him: "This trick is really useful......
"Ahem," the master deliberately coughed dryly twice, and continued: "I didn't open your heavenly eye at that time, so naturally I couldn't see Yuan Shisan's demonic energy. ”
Master, didn't you say that you were a liar? No, I think I said that.
But how did the good story of wandering the rivers and lakes become slaying demons? This is not the same as the deeds in the mouth of the storyteller......
Even though my heart was full of all kinds of questions, I couldn't move at the moment, and I couldn't do such a small thing as blinking my eyes, let alone open my mouth to ask questions, so I had to sit honestly in the car and watch the smoke billowing from the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
Master put one hand on my shoulder, and the other hand reached out to my face, pointing at the snow-capped mountains in the distance: "Those blue ones are demonic energy, and the black smoke is the resentment caused by the destruction of the villages on the mountain. ”
"There is a special yamen in the imperial court that is responsible for these matters, otherwise the ghosts and ghosts who suffered from military disasters at the beginning of the founding of the country would have torn the palace to shreds. ”
"After the local county order reported the anomaly of the snow mountain, the imperial court will send a special person to investigate, but it has not been solved until today, most of them are afraid that the monsters on the mountain have become the climate, and attacking the mountain will only damage the people and horses. ”
Therefore, they wantonly recruited folk strangers, promised glory and wealth, and waited for death in the snow-capped mountains, and then let the folk savages be the first to rush forward. ”
"Master, one of the reasons why I took you out in a hurry is to avoid these people. ”
Finally, Master put both hands on my shoulders, lowered his head, smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"
I stared and couldn't speak.
Not because of fear.
It's because I can't tell.
Seeing that I had been silent for a long time, Master suddenly let out an "oh" and raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
There was a crunch and the body moved freely again.
I immediately made a decision and did not hesitate to twist my waist and pounce, grabbed the master's sleeve, and begged loudly: "Teach me!"
Putting aside what the master did in the past, I just said that this means of imprisoning other people's actions at will is really very good, although I don't know how the master did it, but this trick is clearly better than the peerless martial arts in the commentary.
If you learn this hand, why worry that you will not be someone else's opponent when you walk the rivers and lakes in the future? Just imagine, you are surrounded by gangsters from all walks of life in front of you, and if you smile and snap your fingers lightly, you can't move even if you are on the other side, and you are left to slaughter.
With this stunt, what other martial arts do you practice?
The master refused very simply: "I can't teach it." ”
It's really a bit unexpected to me, although the master was unreliable before, but he has never hidden his own craft, except for the three refining of the heart that sounds like the Tao of God and Shinto, no matter what kind of gold, silver and iron crafts are repaired, I have never hidden my secrets, and when I want to learn, I almost respond to requests, although Master is extremely unreliable as an elder, but as a master, I really can't find fault.
At the moment, I was rejected by Master so neatly and neatly, and I was suddenly a little overwhelmed.
It's even a little sad.
Seeing that I was silent for a long time, the master guessed my thoughts, so he had to explain patiently: "You don't have any Taoism on you, even the Heavenly Eye was just opened for you, even if you teach you these methods, you can't use them, and in the future, the Taoism will slowly go up, these small means are easy, don't worry." ”
After listening to Master's explanation, the resentment in my heart disappeared, but I still refused to admit defeat: "Then why didn't you teach me before?"
"If I teach you, can you still work honestly in the shop?"
The master straightened his waist, looked at the snow-capped mountains from afar, and sighed, "It will be difficult to live a stable life in the future." ”
The black donkey pulling the cart reopened its hooves, and Master and I turned the head of the cart and headed in the direction of the snow-capped mountain.
Dilapidated donkey carts snaked their way up narrow mountain roads and swayed on overgrown dirt roads. The wheels left deep indentations on the grass, and I was excited about slaying demons for the first time in my life.
At that time, I was too young to hear Master's hidden sorrows.
At that time, living under the protection of the sloppy master, I only felt that the sky and the earth were big, there were no wonders, there were talking swords in the rivers and lakes, and there were snow-capped mountains burning day and night in the distance, the master was a real master in the world, and I happened to be his only apprentice, and when I learned a skill, there would be a new world waiting for me.
I didn't know that outside the fluttering sleeves of the Master, the wind was bitter and the rain was fierce.
It's going to be updated!
Although again very little......
I'm really tired today......
