Xiao Qiu walked around the woodland near the house, and when he came to another dining room, it was just in time for lunch to end, and the male disciples lined up to return to their rooms, where they had to rest for a while to prepare for the afternoon practice.
When there was no one on the road, Xiaoqiu walked quickly to a room, raised his hand and hesitated for a moment, and knocked lightly on the door.
"Who?" the voice in the room was a little vigilant, not quite like a Pang Shan disciple who was concentrating on cultivation.
Xiaoqiu knocked on the door again.
"Come in. The people inside reluctantly answered, as if they were very unhappy that someone was visiting.
Xin Youtao sat on the bed, looking at Xiaoqiu who pushed the door in with a surprised face, "It's you, what are you doing?"
His room was as small as the others', just a pile of bags, some of which seemed to have never been opened, and a thin layer of dust had accumulated.
"Let's talk. Xiaoqiu sat on a chair at the door, face to face with Xin Youtao.
Xin Youtao became more vigilant, "This is not the Jinghu Village Pavilion, be careful, don't make trouble for yourself." β
Xiaoqiu smiled, "It seems that you haven't changed much, and the Cultivation God Peak has little impact on you, so let's talk about this matter." β
"I don't want to talk. Xin Youtao was very annoyed, thinking that the other party was ridiculing his cultivation for stagnating, but he still didn't understand anything.
"Well, I'm here to ask you a question. β
"Ask me for advice?" Xin Youtao was stunned again, put on his shoes on the ground, and looked left and right at Xiaoqiu, "Sue you, don't play tricks with me, I'm not a good deceitful person...... What are you going to ask me for?" he still couldn't hold back his curiosity.
"That's the case, a person who obviously hates you and hates you, but instead of showing it, suddenly apologizes to you and asks for peace, why is this?"
Xin Youtao suddenly realized, "Oh, you mean Shen Ji Daoyou." He paused and looked at Xiaoqiu, "People who have attained the Tao have no desires and no fighting, and when people open their seven tricks, their hearts will naturally change, and you should believe in his sincerity." β
Xiao Qiu heard him sneering, "Don't you want to see the two factions clash? Don't you want me to throw off my arms and fight for territory? Then do me this little favor." β
Xin Youtao once worked as a lobbyist for Shen Geng, and at that time he bluntly revealed that his true purpose was to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and Xiaoqiu brought up the old things again, which made him hesitate a little, "It turns out that you still remember what I said." β
"Yes, and a lot. β
"You ......" Xin Youtao's face turned red all of a sudden, he had expected that the other party would strike this blow sooner or later, but when he came, he still couldn't hide his anger, he regretted his negligence a month ago, and actually revealed to this wild child the past when he failed in the struggle in the palace.
"You said that games are battles, don't you want to participate in this game?"
Xin Youtao realized that he had misunderstood, and Mu Xingqiu didn't mean to blackmail him with that matter, so he coughed dryly, "Are you really asking me for advice?"
"Well, I think among our group of disciples, you are the only one who can see through the truth of this game. β
Being touted by the people he fears, even if it is just an ambiguous sentence, it is enough to make people's hearts flutter, Xin Youtao didn't want to be too happy, but he still couldn't help but smile on his face, coughed a few times, and put on a serious mysterious expression, "This is not called the truth, this is called the rule." β
"Oh?"
"To be honest, I don't know the rules of Pangshan Dao, but I think many of the principles are common, and the set of the Xijie royal family is also suitable here. If you want to know why Shen Ji apologized, you must first determine the respective positions of both of you. β
"We are all disciples of Pang Shan, but he is from the Daomen family, and I am from Yelin Town. β
"Hehe, you're still so proud, after all, you've seen too little of the world. Xin Youtao walked up to Xiao Qiu and kicked away a useless package, his eyes shining with excitement, "How can Yelin Town be compared to the Daomen family? β
"Shen Hao's family, his father is the town guard, and he is also the richest man in the town, and the house is ......"
"Enough is enough, let me ask you again, in Yelin Town, especially in front of Shen Hao's father, would you say something like 'our Mu family and the Shen family'?"
Xiaoqiu thought for a while, he hadn't paid attention to such a trivial matter before, and shook his head, "No, Liu Er from Qianjie once said that he was related to Master Shen, but he was scolded by someone." β
"Look, that's the truth, in Pangshan Daotong, the Shen family is the 'master', and you are still Xiaoqiu, and your status is similar to that Liu Er. β
"But Master Shen won't apologize to anyone in the town. β
"That's because his status isn't high enough. Xin Youtao's interest came up, showing off to outsiders the way he had mastered how to deal with people, which was much more interesting than thinking about things like cultivation.
"What is real contempt? It's not about yelling at you, it's not about trampling you under your feet, it's about not being there at all. In Saisuke, I wear the most splendid clothes and eat the most exquisite food, but do I need to make acquaintance with tailors and cooks? No, hordes of servants walk around me, doing all sorts of things for me, but I don't remember a single nameβthat's called contempt! To be my enemy, I must first be on the same level as me. In Jinghu Village, everyone's status is completely messed up, but that is temporary, and in Yangshen Peak, the status has to be restored to its original importance. β
"Shen Ji apologizes for contempt for us?" Xiao Qiu was confused, and the royal rules sounded like a bastard full of contradictions.
"That's it. Xin Youtao shrugged his shoulders, and the sense of superiority that he had lost for a while came back a little, "He apologizes to you, you accept the apology, the matter is over, and people will never say anything like 'Mu Xingqiu wants to seek revenge against the Shen family' or 'Mu Xingqiu wants to provoke Yang Dujiao' in the future." For you, such rumors are a glory, but a disgrace to the Shen family. It's like in Saisuke Castle, if my name is compared to a cook every day, whether it's good or bad, I'll die of shame. β
Xiaoqiu understood a little, "So Shen Ji really wants to keep the well water from now on with me?"
"Haha. Xin Youtao laughed and shook his head vigorously, "You, you can't get rid of the thoughts of children in Yelin Town. I heard that you agreed on a revenge plan last night, and you still claim that you have a clear access to Sanda, haven't you thought that the Shen family also has a revenge plan?"
"I know that Shen Geng will kill people in five years. β
"Isn't this clear? You, as well as your fellow villagers, all belong to Shen Geng, and only belong to Shen Geng. Shen Ji standing up for his brother will be a shame for Shen Geng; Yang Dujiao will be a shame for her son when he stands up for his son, who is she? β
"Thank you. Xiaoqiu got up and felt that it was almost over, Xin Youtao's words couldn't be listened to, let alone fully believed, Xiaoqiu had to ensure that he would not be dragged into the water by the prince.
Xin Youtao was still unsatisfied, licked his lips, and said: "Have you noticed, everyone in Yangshen Peak is lined up according to the room number, and rarely walks side by side, so that no one throws their arms to grab the position, do you think this is a good thing?"
"I don't know. Xiaoqiu thought for a while, pushed the door and left.
Xin Youtao turned around proudly, jumped on the bed and decided to take a nap, even if Mu Xingqiu only took half of these words seriously, he would go further on the road to the demon, if he really had a demon seed in his body.
"He'll believe it. Xin Youtao whispered to himself, "Because what I say is the truth." Hey, I can't force you into a demon, so I'll help you into a demon. β
The afternoon homework was carried out in the Qiyao Hall, which is also a hall embedded in the mountain, smaller in size than the Sizu Hall, with a row of wooden shelves against the wall to place many weapons.
"You haven't condensed your qi into a pill yet, and you can't cast the Five Elements Spell, but you must first learn the basic skills of casting spells. Dujiao Yang Baozhen pointed to the row of wooden shelves, "Choose the utensils you like, and treat them as ritual weapons." β
Most people choose swords, Xiaoqiu is no exception, since he saw Li Yuechi kill the snake demon, he stubbornly believes that Taoist priests should wear swords, and some people choose iron rulers and iron rods, especially female disciples, who prefer to use lighter utensils, such as iron fans and ruyi.
Yang Baozhen showed off her magic weapon, a green jade Ruyi, which immediately attracted the attention of all the disciples, especially Xiaoqiu.
"All Taoist monks who condense qi into pills must make a magic weapon for themselves, and it will probably accompany you for the rest of your life. There are many benefits of magic weapons, and there are other teachings to introduce them, so I won't say much, I will only teach you how to use magic weapons to Taoist priests of the Five Elements Branch. First, the male disciple holds the Dharma weapon in his left hand, and the female disciple uses his right hand. β
Yang Baozhen held Ruyi with her right hand, raised her left hand, her thumb against her ring finger, and the remaining three fingers were vertical, leaving a gap between her fingers, "This is the Dao Fire Technique, which is not only a gift for Taoist friends to meet, but also a basic magic trick for casting spells." If you encounter a demon suddenly, you can use this method, you can immediately excite the magic weapon, cast a talisman spell, everyone try it according to my appearance. β
This is easier to learn, and the disciples have to do the meeting ceremony several times a day, and the posture is exactly the same as this, except that there is an extra magic weapon in the hand behind the back, and there is no need to bow.
Yang Baozhen also taught his disciples the seven moves of the Dao Fire Technique: the hand behind the back does not move, the Dao Fire Technique of the other hand stops in front of the chest is the heart protection style, the shoulder is the head protection style, the finger ground is the lower plate protection style, and so on.
Although the magic weapons in everyone's hands are just mortal things, and they can't cast any spells, everyone has practiced decently.
"There are one hundred and eight kinds of Dao Sect techniques, and the Dao Fire Technique is only one of them, and there are several variations of each method, a total of nine hundred and sixty-one formulas, and some of you may already be determined to enter the Five Elements Sect, so you must start practicing diligently from today until you can easily get to Cheng DΓΉ. As for those who are not interested in the Five Elements Sect, they should also be proficient in applying these techniques. Beyond the avenue are demons, no one can guarantee that you will never encounter danger, and it is the duty of every Taoist priest to kill demons and eliminate demons. β
Yang Baozhen was able to say something similar to Meng Yuanhou, Xiaoqiu was very surprised, these two people are both Taoist priests of the Five Elements Sect, but one always emphasizes "against the sky", and the other attaches more importance to "Shuntian", not like a person at all.
What surprised Xiaoqiu even more was that the jade Ruyi in Dujiao's hand, both in color and shape, was exactly the same as the magic weapon that Shen Ji stepped on when he went to the cave, only slightly smaller.
In any case, it is impossible for a person to dream of something he has never seen before, Xiaoqiu's analysis of Xin Youtao suddenly became a little more convinced, and at the same time, he was even more convinced that he had spent more than one catastrophe in the cave.
