In a blink of an eye, Diao Xiaosi has returned to Jiangzhou for more than ten days, and his life has been peaceful and enjoyable.
He did not tell others the story of killing You Gusui and playing tricks on Chaotian Pepper.
Originally, according to Diao Xiaosi's temperament, this kind of glorious record was inevitably to be bragged about. But thinking of these four words from his mouth, he had to forcibly hold back. After all, whether it is a colorful old demon or a fairy tiger, he can't afford to provoke any of them. As for Chaotian Jiao, I believe she will not be stupid enough to expose her scandal everywhere.
Chizunxia is still silent, but fortunately, as his skills deepen, the cold in Xiao Si's body is getting lighter, and it is not so important whether this sworn brother comes or not.
His comprehension of the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Star Array has reached the most advanced stage, and with the various understandings obtained by Daba Mountain and the Fortune Operator Fighting Array, many problems that are usually ignorant have gradually been solved.
Until one day, Diao Xiaosi suddenly found himself facing a very difficult problem.
He already had a Twenty-Eight Pleiades Star Array in his body, and if he was to merge with the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Star Array that he was contemplating, many of the array nodes would inevitably overlap with each other, making a mess of his meridians and knots.
In order to solve the problem, Diao Xiaosi plunged into Geng Nanyi's study, forgetting to sleep and eat to find relevant classics.
It's a pity that for several days, I have read a lot of messy books, but I still have no clue how to fuse the Twenty-Eight Nights with the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Star Array.
In the evening of this day, Wan'er came to find Diao Xiaosi, saying that Long Zhaoyuan sent a letter to his aunt, saying that he was about to leave for Chang'an in the near future, and through the connections of his father, Long Zhenwu, the left guard of the Great Sui Forbidden Army, Fengche Duwei, and Long Zhenwu, he had a good errand in the army, and hoped that his uncle and aunt would go to Chang'an to gather in their spare time.
"Listening to my mother's meaning, she seems to want to go to Chang'an City and visit my uncle by the way. Wan'er said: "Maybe I can still see Sister Hong and Tang Sangongzi, and then see what my cousin is like after joining the army." β
When Diao Xiaosi heard Long Zhaoyuan's name, he was angry, and snorted: "A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail." Lao Tzu got tired of being a soldier when he saw it. β
Wan'er giggled happily and said, "Actually, my cousin is not as bad as you think. β
Diao Xiaosi rolled his eyes upward, sneered and said, "That's because you don't know Taishan." Do you know what a true master is?"
Wan'er replied, "Like Ye Xianchang and Tang Sangongzi, the sword riding the wind and cultivating to the top?"
Diao Xiaosi shook his head and said: "It's a big mistake, the real master is the one who can get people without making a move...... For example, just a few things. β
He was blowing nonsense in the sea, and an executioner reported outside the study: "Fourth Master Diao, Mr. Bu Er has arrived." β
Diao Xiaosi's face turned pale suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "Let's just say that I will go out and travel, and I won't come back in three or five years!"
The executioner was embarrassed: "Geng and Chu are talking in the hall with Mr. Bu Er, and they sent the younger one to invite Fourth Master Diao." β
Diao Xiaosi groaned and said: "Lao Tzu has almost forgotten about this old blind man, how can he be so ghostly and haunted me? Damn, could it be that the blind man has a Xi Shi in his eyes, and Lao Tzu is the beauty who is like a flower and jade?"
Wan'er couldn't help but smile and said: "Since ancient times, only apprentices are afraid of the master, how can there be a reason why the master is afraid of seeing the apprentice?
Diao Xiaosi said annoyedly: "What do you know, it's a mouse, and I'm also a mouse that eats cats." After saying that, he got up and walked outside the house, with the tragic spirit of being windy and cold.
When he walked to the door of the flower hall and looked inside, he suddenly became angry. I saw the old blind man sitting on a high seat, Geng Nanyi and Chu Lie accompanying him on the left and right, how could he have the slightest consciousness of being a disciple?
Diao Xiaosi said fiercely in his heart: "The immortal is stilted, the tiger is not threatening, you are a sick cat?"
He walked into the flower hall with a heavy cough, and said slowly: "Operator, why did you come? β
"Operator?" Wan'er Xing, who was following Diao Xiaosi, opened her eyes and covered her mouth with a smile.
Diao Xiaosi didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he entered the hall and sat down, without asking whose cup was on the coffee table, he took three sips of goo-goo-goo-goo-goo-to-goo-to-kne, and he could hear that the tip of his heart was still pounding and beating, and he secretly encouraged: "Damn, today Lao Tzu has to overwhelm the old blind man in terms of momentum, and give him a dismount." β
Bu Operator was also stunned, and immediately smiled: "Because I wanted to buy a meeting gift for Master, I delayed it for a few days." β
"Gifts?" Diao Xiaosi's eyes lit up, put down the teacup, nodded and said, "Finally, you are still sensible." β
Bu Operator took out a pair of boots from his cuffs and said, "Please smile, master." β
Diao Xiaosi couldn't help but feel annoyed when he saw the solemn appearance of the fortune operator holding a pair of boots in his hand, and said in his heart: "Okay, you old blind man, when I'm so foolish, I'm embarrassed to give away a stall at will!"
But Geng Nanyi was surprised and said, "Mr. Bu Er, this is a pair of Qingyun boots?"
Bu Operator said: "Yes, as long as you wear these boots, you can run fifty percent faster than usual." At the critical time, the Qingyun talisman blessed by the true qi is activated on the boots, and you can fly a cup of tea against the wind......"
Diao Xiaosi didn't wait for the fortune operator to finish speaking, snatched the Qingyun boots and said: "It's rare that you have such filial piety, just accept it for the teacher!" I couldn't wait to take off the black cloth shoes on my feet, and replaced the Qingyun boots, and suddenly felt a warm aura bubbling from the soles of my feet, as if the whole person would fly with a little force.
He secretly rejoiced: "If someone chases and kills Lao Tzu in the future, I will wave my sleeves and ride the wind, so that he can look at the back of Diao Siye and eat ashes." β
The so-called cannibalistic mouth is short and the hands are short, Diao Xiaosi's face softened a lot, and he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said: "What you have learned as a teacher is broad and profound, and it is not something that an idle person can understand." Before apprenticing, I have a question for you to see what your qualifications are. If you can answer it, you can hope to be my successor. β
Geng Nanyi and Chu Lie, you look at me, I look at you, and they all smiled bitterly: "This guy really regards himself as a master." β
Bu Operator remained silent and said, "Please teach the master!"
"Listen," Diao Xiaosi raised his voice and asked, "How can you place two completely different Qimen Dunjia Formations that can't overlap into a small space?"
Bu Operator replied without thinking about it: "Since they can't overlap, then each shrink and merge into a furnace horn to face each other." β
"Such a simple truth, why didn't Lao Tzu think of it?!" Diao Xiaosi suddenly brightened up, and found that he had unknowingly drilled the tip of the bull's horns before, always thinking about fusing the Twenty-Eight Pleiades Star Array and the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Array as seen in the Jade Star Heaven, but he never thought of letting them complement each other in their own ways.
Thanks to the old blind man's words, he woke up the dreamer, Diao Xiaosi was so excited that he raised his hand and slapped it on his thigh, but as soon as he fell in front of him, he retracted it, touched his smooth chin that had not yet grown beard stubble, and said "um" and said: "I barely said a little point, which is rare." β
Wan'er was curious: "Then you say, what is the correct answer?"
Diao Xiaosi shook his head and said, "This thing is too profound, you won't understand it." β
Wan'er raised her eyebrows lightly and asked again, but fortunately, Chu Lie relieved the siege and said: "The reception banquet has been prepared, let's take a seat." β
The dinner party was enjoyed by the guests and the hosts, and it did not disperse until late at night. Diao Xiaosi returned to the house and couldn't wait to take out the jade plate and start practicing, and he didn't fall asleep until the rooster crowed three times.
In a daze, he dreamed that he and Wan'er were lying on a soft grass, telling nonsense jokes, and after a while the girl fell into his arms.
Diao Xiaosi couldn't help but be happy, hugged her Xiaoman's waist tightly, and his hands were very dishonestly swimming around.
Suddenly, I was ignorant and heard Wan'er say lightly and angrily: "Fourth uncle, you are dead!"
Diao Xiaosi felt that all the three souls and seven spirits flew into the sky, and he held the beautiful face with both hands and raised his head to kiss it.
Suddenly, he vaguely felt that Wan'er's little face was a little prickly for some reason, so he rubbed it vigorously in confusion, and suddenly heard someone snort coldly in his ears: "Is it enjoyable to touch?"
"It's enjoyableβ" Diao Xiaosi let out a pleasant sigh and opened his eyes, and then saw that he was holding a distorted old face in his hand.
He blinked, and the owner of the old face rolled his white miserable eyes, and then there was a long silence, untilβ
Diao Xiaosi shivered, all his sleepiness disappeared, goosebumps broke out all over his body, he let go of his hands as if he was electrocuted, and screamed: "Help......"
Bu Operator covered this guy's mouth and shouted, "Don't scream, it's me!"
Diao Xiaosi said in his heart: "Nonsense, just because it's you, Lao Tzu is called." However, his mouth was blocked and he couldn't say anything, so he had to whimper and struggle desperately.
Bu Operator took away his hand and said, "From today onwards, we will get up on the fifth watch, and we will start to study talismans." β
Diao Xiaosi snorted and gasped for a long time, and slowly came back to his senses and realized that something seemed to be wrong. It suddenly occurred to me that the role between myself and the old blind man had fallen?
He was furious and said: "I'm the master, I have the final say when I get up!"
Bu Operator was not stunned and said: "I have prepared some talisman materials for you, if the method is right, you can refine the five-grade 'Heavenly Thunder Splitting Talisman', and you can protect yourself when you encounter a master of the realm of knowledge in the future." β
"Heavenly Thunder Splitting Talisman?" Diao Xiaosi glared at the old blind man with hatred, maliciously imagining the moving scene of smashing this Dao talisman on his head.
Bu Operator smiled slightly and said, "The sky is about to dawn, and the disciple respectfully asks the master to get up early." β
Diao Xiaosi said angrily: "You are not my disciple, you are my Laozi!"
Bu Operator pretended not to hear it, walked to the table with a black bamboo cane, and took out a large number of treasures from his cuffs as if by magic, including a ding furnace, a talisman pen, a sea thunder heart, a heavenly tortoise shell, and many bottles and cans and large and small paper bags.
Diao Xiaosi couldn't help but climb out of bed curiously, walked behind the old blind man barefoot, poked his head out and looked around: "What's so great about talisman making, Lao Tzu will be able to do it when he is eleven years old." Apprentice, you quickly light the Ding Furnace and watch it as a teacher to teach you how to refine that...... Heavenly Thunder Split!"
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of non-gold and non-jade and asked, "I'll test you first, what is this?"
Bu Operator touched it with his hand and replied: "This is a piece of sea dragon scales, which was exchanged for a hundred taels of gold on the Luoyang black market." β
Diao Xiao's four hands trembled, and he said angrily: "A piece of dragon scales costs a hundred taels of gold - you loser, you don't know how distressed you are when you sell Yetian." No, how much money you still have on you will be taken out and kept by the teacher himself!"
