Chapter 6: You're Not Lonely [Second Update]
After listening to Wei Laodao's big exposition, it was already dusk, Yi Qian returned to his side room with the "Mantra of Beast Control", lit the candlestick on the table, and sat on the bed in a daze.
There are too many things he has experienced today, and he has not stopped from early in the morning to now, and his mind is still a little confused.
Rubbing his hand over the dark red handwriting on the cover of "The Mantra of Beast Control", Yi Qian seemed to feel a trace of desolate power flowing into his body along his fingertips, soothing his feelings.
For some reason, Yi Qian always felt that something was wrong with his master today, especially after he came back from bringing food, Wei Laodao didn't even touch his favorite roast duck, and kept instilling in him some basic cultivation methods of Lingxuan and explaining the "Mantra of Controlling Beasts", no matter whether Yi Qian could understand it or not, as if he wanted to force him with all the knowledge he knew in half a day.
This cramming method of teaching made Yi Qian, who had never received the guidance of orthodox cultivation, feel bitter, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, even if he didn't understand most of them, he memorized them by rote, and slowly digested them in the future.
"I didn't expect that Shizun would give me a copy of the beast cultivation book..."
Just from the title of the book "The Mantra of Controlling Beasts", it can be seen that this is a classic book of cultivation with the control of monsters and monsters as the core, and the cultivators who use the control of beasts as the main cultivation method are called "beast cultivation".
Although the Cloud Sealing Realm is completely surrounded by the Demon Realm, and there are countless demon beasts and monsters on the periphery, the beast cultivation is very unpopular, because the strength is generally not strong, and it is regarded as an alien and inferior existence by traditional cultivators.
A sect that uses a beast control method as a treasure book, and it is indeed not a famous sect to think that the Spirit Void Vision.
However, this did not affect Yi Qian's excitement in the slightest!
Although there were some exaggerations in Shizun's narration, the feeling of orthodox cultivation still made Yi Qian further feel the mystery and mystery of cultivation, and he knew that he was about to truly embark on the road of cultivation!
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, Yi Qian was completely sleepy, took off his leather jacket and planned to start practicing according to the mental method on the "Beast Mantra", a plush black ball rolled down from his leather jacket to the bed, Yi Qian glanced at it, and snorted: "You are really good enough to sleep! It is estimated that I will die under the hands of that Shang Zheng, you can't send me to the end in time!"
The little black blob rolled around for a while, and then suddenly stretched out, shaped like a mouse, with ears as large as wings, and behind it dragged a furry tail almost equal to the length of the body.
The most striking thing is the two long ears on its head, which extend from the back of the head like two wings, standing firmly upright, for fear that others will not know about their special functions.
With such a pair of ears and a small three-petaled mouth, its face looks like a much smaller rabbit.
Under the black fluff all over the body, four small black claws were picking at the bed board, and a pair of eyes like black jewels were a little dazed, as if they hadn't woken up yet.
When Yi Qian was eight years old, as Wei Laodao went to the Demon Realm to broaden his horizons, Yi Qian inadvertently rescued a [eared mouse] who was chased by a carnivorous demon beast.
The adult [ear mouse] is only a first-grade demon beast, and the palm-sized Xiao Wu is obviously not yet an adult, at best it is a half-grade, and it can only be at the bottom of the food chain in the demon realm, which does not help Yi Qian's hunting.
However, Xiao Wuji is very human, and with its company in the past six years, Yi Qian will not feel so lonely.
After a moment of frustration, Xiao Wu's mind seemed to begin to recover, and he ran to Yi Qian's side with a rolling belt, his hind limbs standing upright on the bed board, and a pair of black eyes looked at Yi Qian expectantly.
"In addition to sleeping and eating, you are not an ear mouse, you are an ear pig, right?" Yi Qian rolled his eyes, took out two still warm buns from his leather jacket pocket and put them in front of Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu immediately "squeaked" twice with joy, and pounced on the buns to eat.
Yi Qian rubbed his little head with his fingers, although Xiao Wu didn't have much ability, but six years of getting along day and night still made their relationship very deep, when he was attacked by Shang Zheng before, Yi Qian didn't throw out his leather jacket to resist, just took care of Xiao Wu who was sleeping in the secret pocket in his arms.
"If you are not a black-eared mouse, but a black dragon, you should do the wind~" Yi Qian imagined for a while, and laughed dumbly, how could he have such a nonsensical idea?
Xiao Wu Wenyan looked up at Yi Qian, an inexplicable brilliance flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to normalcy and continued to bury his head in eating...
Yi Qian didn't notice Xiao Wu's abnormality, his eyes turned to the window, night slowly fell, Shizun was lying on the rattan chair in the courtyard as usual, nibbling on roast duck, looking up at the sky.
Wei Laodao has his own house, but he has never lived in it, no matter winter or summer, he spends most of his time lying in the courtyard every day, looking at the sky.
In the past, Yi Qian felt that Shizun was bored and in a daze, but tonight, there seemed to be too much complexity in Shizun's eyes...
Shaking his head, Yi Qian had to sigh: The world of the elderly is really incomprehensible.
Retracting his gaze, Yi Qian opened the snow-white cover of "The Mantra of Beast Control", and the paper in the book was also snow-white, the paper was very soft and tough, obviously it was paper, but it was as smooth as silk.
The lines of beautiful small characters came into view, and immediately attracted all of Yi Qian's mind...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
After a night of silence, when Yi Qian's eyes were pulled out of the "Mantra of Beast Control", he was stunned to find that the sky was already bright outside, and the buns and Xiaowu on the bed next to him were gone, presumably it filled its stomach and went back to sleep...
Yi Qian stuffed the "Mantra of Beast Control" into the storage bag, put on a leather jacket, packed up the package and prepared to enter the city to set up a stall, with a wry smile on his face, he didn't expect to read a book all night unconsciously, and then go to Bailing Market at this time, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find a spare stall.
After a brief freshening up, Yi Qian hurriedly went out, the rattan chairs in the courtyard were empty, he glanced at the main hall, and there was no shadow of Wei Laodao.
"Where did Shizun go again?"
Yi Qian glanced around, and suddenly his expression froze, and on the door of Wei Laodao's room, there was a dark yellow rune paper, which seemed to have just been pasted not long ago.
An ominous premonition appeared in Yi Qian's heart, he ran over quickly, his eyes were fixed on the rune paper, and a light white word "Yi" loomed on the surface of the rune paper...
There is the breath of Wei Lao Dao on the rune paper!
"Are you letting me in?" Yi Qian hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and pressed it towards the rune paper, and a layer of dark yellow light suddenly bloomed! The complex lines quickly spread around with the rune paper as the center, and in the blink of an eye, the whole room was covered with dark yellow lines, Yi Qian only felt that his hands were empty, and the person had been pulled into the room by an invisible suction! And the door was still in a closed state!
Yi Qian couldn't help but admire the magic of Taoism, when he saw the things placed in the house, he was stunned, a large number of beast materials such as beast pills, animal skins, beast feathers and so on were piled up in the corner, Yi Qian recognized at a glance that those beast materials were the part that he had been scavenged by his master in the past few years!
On the table next to the wall, there were two storage bags, one of which was orange, the one that was stolen from Shang Zheng's hand yesterday, Yi Qian took a look, a hundred second-grade spirit stones were untouched, and what made him dumbfounded was that the number of first-grade spirit stones in it was very large, there were tens of thousands!
"Did I earn it..."
Yi Qian picked up the inconspicuous gray storage bag next to him, and a wisp of divine thought rushed into his body! Wei Laodao's voice sounded in his ears...
"For the teacher Yun Shengzi, the cultivation has been 1,000 and 36 years, read countless people, but never accepted disciples, you appeared when you were the most depressed for the teacher, it is also a source of blessing, yesterday accepted you as a disciple, in response to the guidance of heaven. ”
"Your qualifications are acceptable, your physique is extraordinary, and your memory is only seen in the teacher's life! What the teacher said yesterday, you must have memorized it, don't record it in books and jade slips, if it is discovered by someone with a heart, it will bring you a catastrophe!"
"As for the "Mantra of Controlling the Beast", it doesn't matter, there is a ban on it laid down by the ancestors of the Spirit Void Vision, it is not my Yunshengzi lineage, I can't get a glimpse of its true appearance, you and cultivate with your heart, within a hundred years, you will definitely achieve something. ”
"Because of an accident two hundred years ago, for the teacher to build this Shoutian Temple outside the city of Shangyang, seclusion in it to be quiet to the end of life, but there is an existing thing to worry about the mind, for the teacher to think for a long time, determined to deal with it, this time I don't know what year and month to return, you and serious practice, to wait for the completion of the first part of the "Mantra of the Beast", for the teacher will inform you of the life experience. ”
Hearing this, Yi Qian's expression froze.
"My background..."
In Yi Qian's impression, he is a child who was abandoned by his parents and thrown in front of the gate of Shoutianguan, and Shizun is the only relative!
But now listening to the teacher's meaning, there seems to be another hidden meaning in this...
As if guessing Yi Qian's reaction at this time, Wei Laodao's voice became more strict: "If you want to know about your parents faster, work hard to achieve the consummation of the first part of the "Beast Control Mantra"! As important as the improvement of strength is the heart! Although you are a little clever, you are still too kind!" At any time, you have to pay more attention, just like the precaution against that Shang Zheng, putting aside the matter of his sneak attack, you shouldn't just bury his corpse hastily, how can the two heads of the top Xiuzhen families in a city really not have a few methods of interrogation? His body has been taken away by Shang Kui, and it won't be long before his revenge will be ushered in!"
"Thinking that you are still young, I will help you this time as a teacher, and you want to kill his whole family because of others' insults to be a teacher, how can you be stingy as a teacher? ”
Wei Laodao said it lightly, and Yi Qian was in a cold sweat when he heard it, not only because of his own innocence, but also because of the strength of his master!
Everyone who was related to Shang Zheng by blood was killed, and didn't that also include Shang Kui, the number one master of the Shang family and the master of the family? Moreover, listening to what the master said, he even knew the conversation between Yi Qian and Shang Xuewei clearly! How great a magical power should this be...
"Before you have enough self-protection ability, it's best not to advertise that you are a disciple of the Spirit Void Vision, you have accumulated a lot of things in the past few years, but it is not enough to make you strong, if necessary, you can take refuge in other sects and families, but you must focus on cultivating the "Beast Control Mantra", my Spirit Void Meditation is no worse than any sect!"
Wei Laodao's voice was full of pride, paused, and said: "The teacher is gone, but there is Xiaowu, you are not alone." If fate is not over, you and I will have a goodbye day..."
The voice faded away, and the wisp of divine thought left by Wei Laodao also dissipated into invisibility...
“... There is a little black... Am I not lonely?" Yi Qian looked down a little dazedly, Xiao Wu was also poking his little head out of his leather jacket, and he nodded again and again when he heard this: "Yes, you are not lonely~"
"Oh..."Yi Qian retracted his gaze, and was about to see what was in the gray storage bag, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong, stared at Xiao Wu with a stunned expression, and exclaimed, "Can you speak?!"
