At five o'clock in the morning, I dragged the fat man out of the room, who still looked confused. Yu Lao and Master Han had been drinking tea and chatting for a long time, and when they saw us appear, Master Han said, "Zhen'er follows me, and Xiaoshan follows my senior brother." ”

The fat man left with Master Han in a daze, while I stayed in the inner hall, Yu Lao drank tea and said with a smile: "The road is chosen by yourself, but whether you have the perseverance to persist is another matter." The ability to learn the Tao is not something that can be achieved overnight, and I have been practicing this Tao since I was five years old. But I don't do the business of selling ghosts and demons, if you want to do it, you don't need to learn too advanced skills, just know some fur to defend yourself. ”

While speaking, he handed over a yellow leather surface of some old books, I hurriedly took it, raised my eyes to see, the name of the book is "Wudang Five Elements Gong", I opened it and looked at it, not only traditional Chinese characters but also classical Chinese, as far as I was at that level of education, it would be good to be able to understand such simple classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese as "Strange Tales of the Mountains and Wilds", and it would be good to be pure classical Chinese, which is really a head two big!

"Master, do you want me to practice this?"

I asked.

"Don't scream." Yu Lao frowned, "We are a faction to accept apprentices is about fate, there is a fate between the master and the apprentice in the last life, if you meet a master in this life, you will have a feeling." If there is no fate, you can't be a master and apprentice. It's good if you call me old......"

I nodded hurriedly, and after taking a sip of tea, he continued: "If you practice this set of exercises all year round, you can not only regulate the breath in your body but also strengthen your body. Learning how to control the qi of the five elements will nourish the five organs of the body. At the same time, wood is also to the soul, fire is to the god, earth is to the mind, gold is to the spirit, and water is to the will. This is the five wisdoms of human beings, and if they can control the qi of the five elements, they can also understand the laws between the soul. Of course, there are many sayings about the Five Elements Gong, you can practice them one by one, and this book can also be given to you. If there is something you don't understand, just come and ask me, it's five o'clock, and the sun will rise in a while, which is the time when the aura of heaven and earth is at its fullest. After that, you get up at 5 o'clock every day to meditate, do you understand? ”

I nodded again and again, in fact, I didn't understand it at all, but the master taught the apprentice, and in the end I had to understand it myself.

"I'll open the dry mirror in a while, and I'll open your eyes today."

Yu Lao stood up as he spoke, and took a mirror from behind the portrait of Master Han's ancestor. This mirror looks old, but the shape is simple. The round mirror is about the size of most of the face, and the back is a yin-yang diagram with a texture like copper. After experiencing a few things, I can be regarded as opening my eyes, and I know in my heart that this mirror probably has some origins.

"This is a treasure handed down from the ancestors, called the dry light mirror. The back is engraved with a diagram of yin and yang, and after casting the spell, it can be used to dissolve people's evil thoughts according to the resentment of demons and ghosts. ”

After Yu Lao finished speaking, he walked to the courtyard with a dry mirror, I hurriedly followed, he walked to the center of the courtyard, sat down cross-legged, and then chanted words in his mouth, and his fingers lightly drew a few strokes on the mirror. Then he put the dry light mirror on his legs, closed his eyes, and put his hands on his knees to make a lotus gesture.

After about ten minutes, I suddenly heard the portrait of the ancestor in the inner hall vibrating, and I turned around sharply and saw the incense inserted in the incense burner burning rapidly, which was several times faster than ordinary incense.

A gust of wind blew in front of me, and it wasn't cold, but I always felt that something wasn't right.

Looking back at Yu Lao again, he had already opened his eyes at this moment!

Without saying a word, the index finger and middle finger of the right hand were put together on the dry mirror, and I don't know if it was the mirror reflection or I was dazzled, there seemed to be a golden light on the mirror!

"How can evil laws suppress righteousness."

I seemed to be able to hear the voice, but it was chaotic and old, it seemed to come from a mirror, but I wasn't sure.

Yu Lao raised his finger and pointed it at the center of his eyebrows, and opened his mouth again to recite the incantation, this time I can see it clearly! The mirror was shining, and the wind in the courtyard was getting stronger, so I hurriedly retreated behind the inner hall gate.

"Patriarch, please!"

This is Yu Lao's voice, and in an instant I seem to see a blurry image behind Yu Lao, and I hurriedly rubbed my eyes, but I couldn't see anything when I looked at it again.

The mirror light was very strong, and the wind in the courtyard was constant, and Yu Lao's body trembled slightly, as if he couldn't sit still. Then I don't know what happened, the bottles and cans around the yard actually cracked in an instant, and the sound suddenly alarmed Master Han and the fat man.

"What's going on?"

The fat man ran over, and I looked back and was about to answer but was shocked by his appearance at the moment. I only saw that this guy's face was painted with golden paint, and there were red dots on his eyebrows, and he looked like a harlequin in the play!

"How did you change your appearance?"

I said with a wry smile.

"Master Han taught me skills, don't talk about me yet, what's going on?"

The fat man himself felt embarrassed and hurriedly pulled the topic elsewhere.

"Senior brother, this is fighting with others!" Master Han said in surprise.

How to fight? This word sounds fresh, and the fat man and I have also seen the mage fighting methods in ghost movies in the videotape, all of which are laser lines, you shoot me, I shoot you. I didn't expect the fighting method in reality to really appear in front of me, and I was really surprised.

"Don't talk, we'll see soon!"

Master Han also seemed a little nervous, just as his words fell, the strong wind in the courtyard suddenly stopped, and I saw that the golden light in the dry light mirror suddenly dimmed, and then a strange black gas floated out! There was really black gas floating out of the mirror, and I thought I was dazzled!

Yu Lao's right hand was pressed on the back of his left hand, and the palm of his left hand was pressed on the dry mirror, and the dry light mirror was not broken! And the black qi was also blocked back by him, and after a while, the momentum on Yu Lao's body gradually subsided, and the portrait of the ancestor in the inner hall shook slightly.

"It's over!"

Master Han walked over briskly as he spoke, Yu Lao took a breath, looking tired, and after opening his hands, I saw that the dry light mirror had returned to normal. He slowly stood up from the ground and spoke, "It's not like our natives. ”

The fat man and I didn't dare to interject, Master Han frowned and said, "Foreign? Which piece? ”

"It's like Thai witchcraft, but I'm not sure. The other party is very fierce, and the other party found out as soon as I opened the dry mirror. When the yin ghost came to bite, I invited the ancestor to come up and suppress his evil spirit. ”

"Hmph, since the end of the Vietnam counterattack, this group of foreign wizards has been arrogant. Did he let the ghost go? ”

Master Han snorted coldly, looking a little angry.

"It should be, but it's also strange, how could Xiaoshan be hunted down by a foreign wizard? But this time, I rubbed his sharpness, and I didn't dare to mess around for the time being. You hurry up and practice the "Wudang Five Elements Gong" I gave you, and you can retreat with the power of self-preservation. Okay, I'll go in and take a break, I've just done my work, and I'm a little tired. ”

Master Han accompanied Yu Lao into the inner hall, I glanced at the fat man, and the fat man said coldly: "Did you fuck a Thai girl behind my back?" ”

"you! I've never been abroad! ”

I gave him a blank look and scolded.

"No matter what, anyway, it's always right for us to learn some skills from the master. I won't tell you, I'm only halfway through this makeup......"

He waved his hand and hurried to the back. I asked curiously, "What did Master Han teach you!" ”

"I don't fucking understand, it seems to be called a god!"

The reason why Master Han said that Thai wizards are arrogant, here is also to talk about the Sino-Thai and Vietnamese fighting incidents that occurred at the same time as the Vietnamese counterattack.

This incident was spread very well when we were young, and it is said that in the end China lost. I heard that the troops were fighting at that time, and many wizards in Vietnam and Thailand also took action in private, and some books recorded that many PLA soldiers had seen inexplicable monsters at that time, and they had also encountered Gu pests and poisonous insect attacks. Later, the Chinese masters made a move, but they didn't expect to lose in the end.

The reason seems to be that the Cultural Revolution has just ended, and many old mages in China have been killed, and the inheritance, ancient books, and magic weapons have been destroyed, so the strength is insufficient.

Anyway, I don't know the truth with the fat man, but after this I will have contact with the wizards of Thailand and Vietnam, but that's for later.

I studied here for a month, and the results were not significant, but Yu Lao still returned to Beijing on time, and I often ran between Master Han and his home.

The matter of catching earth beasts and finding treasures was also delayed for a while, until a person came to Shanghai, which made me and the fat man think again. That person was Lee Dun-joo......
