Chapter Seventy-Eight: Woe Comes Down from the Earth
The day's study consumed too much of Ding Yi's mental strength, and Xu Manli's entanglement made him even more exhausted, and after a hurried wash, Ding Yi fell asleep on the bed.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, shortly after his parents left, Ding Yi hurried to the Hyatt Regency Hotel again. Today is the last day of studying with Master Han Tao, such an opportunity is rare, and it can be said that it will be rare to meet Han Tao in the future. Although yesterday afternoon's study was a great failure, yesterday's study was still very rewarding.
This is not a wild way that Duoduo completely relies on self-study, but a puppet technique of a systematic cultivation method. Moreover, Han Tao has a wide range of knowledge, and is familiar with many skills such as formations, mechanisms, smelting, etc. A lot of knowledge is a level that only cultivators can access, and it is the most important thing for Ding Yi to learn at present.
Han Tao is actually quite a good person. Although Ding Yi can be said to have leaked the bottom yesterday, basically with Ding Yi's current performance, it can be said with certainty that he has no chance with Xiuzhen, but Han Tao did not have the slightest intention of discrimination, on the contrary, he was still willing to continue to teach him as always. This made Ding Yiming feel guilty and study more attentively.
In the morning's study, Han Tao was not entangled in the control of Ding Yi's spiritual power, but focused on the simulacrum, mechanism technique, and formation. From the perspective of bionics and anatomy, Han Tao demonstrated to Ding Yi the production principles of bone scaffolding, muscles, tendons and bionic machinery, the production of movable pumps, air pumps, and Vientiane pumps, the conversion principles of four-element and five-element formations, and the uses and functions of some cultivation materials in the formations......
This knowledge, Han Tao didn't care how much Ding Yi could remember on this day, he explained it all without reservation. Ding Yi was taking notes as much as he could, wanting to record all this knowledge, and he was listening to Han Tao explaining all morning.
At noon mealtime, Han Tao took out dozens of porcelain vases of different sizes and shapes from the bracelet. These are all kinds of fine wines made by Han Tao himself.
Han Tao took out so much wine in front of Ding Yi, and Ding Yi was puzzled. Because during the lunch yesterday, Han Tao didn't act like a greedy person, he just took out a small bottle of wine and drank a small glass. What does this battle mean today?
"The world calls me a Tangram Zhenren, because I have learned a lot of things, puppet art is just two years with Mr. Baiqiang when I was young, and I learned some tricks and puppets from Mr. Baiqiang, and then I learned some formation mechanisms from other places one after another, and I made small achievements behind closed doors. ”
"I'm better at refining and making wine. ”
"Cultivation is to find the right path for yourself, if you are really difficult to advance in puppetry, you might as well change your mind and choose another path......
"The world calls me a tangram real person, in fact, I have only made achievements in winemaking and refining, and I can only master these two skills over the years, in fact, when I was like you, I wanted to be an illusionist the most, and then I became obsessed with the lyre and wanted to become a musician, and then I became interested in the Taoist and mechanical arts...... I don't know how many skills I've learned over the decades. The world calls me a Tangram real person, but everyone loves me......
"Xiao Yi, you are the smartest little guy I have ever come into contact with at your age, to be honest, puppetry is originally the most difficult method in the cultivation realm, if your improvement in this area is really difficult to improve, you can also consider changing the cultivation method. ”
Han Tao said these words to Ding Yi seriously, but in fact, he was not optimistic about Ding Yi's future. Such a smart and perceptive little ghost, Han Tao also didn't want such a little guy to drill the horns of the bull, waste his energy on puppetry, and finally lose confidence.
Taking out so much fine wine and guiding Ding Yi in the field he is best at, to see if Ding Yi has the talent of a winemaker, this is also a method that Han Tao came up with out of his sincere love for Ding Yi.
Ding Yi's mood was very depressed, he could feel Han Tao's maintenance and care for him, but he still felt unwilling to give up the puppet technique like this.
An abrupt knock on the door interrupted Han Tao's teaching. After Han Tao opened the door, a middle-aged man with tortoiseshell glasses appeared at the gate. Han Tao frowned, turned back to Ding Yi and said, "I'm sorry, kid, I have a guest here today, let's learn here today." If you want to continue to study with me in the future, come to Chixi, I am there in April, May and June every year. ”
Ding Yi stood up and bowed deeply to Han Tao, feeling very reluctant to this master who had studied for two days, but he could only hold back his emotions, pack up his notes and leave. The man in tortoiseshell glasses squinted his eyes, nodded slightly, replied to Ding Yi's salute when he went out, and turned sideways to let Ding Yi leave.
"Old Han, you've always been a good teacher, how is it, kid?" asked the tortoiseshell man in glasses.
"It's a pity, this kid, although his understanding is extremely high, his learning attitude, and his heart are excellent, but his qualifications are not enough, and it is rare to have great achievements in the end......" Han Tao sighed.
Ding Yi almost escaped from the Hyatt Hotel, which was different from when he cautiously entered. He was very afraid of Xu Manli's inexplicable young lady. Thankfully, I didn't run into it again. Xu Ji didn't dare to go to Ding Yi now, although he really wanted to discuss the puppet technique he had just learned with Duoduo, but since Xu Manli might also appear there, Ding Yi still gave up the idea of going to Xu Ji in the afternoon.
Ding Yi doesn't want to go home now, with Ding Li's current economic situation, maybe this guy will bring his girlfriend home. Ding Yi carried a note in his arms, thought about several places in a row, and finally decided to go to Qinshan Purple Bamboo Forest, which is not very far from home and very quiet, just to digest what he has learned in the past two days. Ding Yi still didn't want to give up the puppetry.
Qinshan is a 100-meter-high low mountain, and the mountain is full of dark purple bamboos, which is the famous purple bamboo forest in Jiyun City.
At this moment, in a stone pavilion deep in the bamboo forest, three or five tourists are enjoying the coolness, and two young people are setting up a chessboard and fighting each other. A man who looked like a porter was lying flat on the bench of the stone pavilion and was asleep, and he couldn't see clearly with a broken felt hat covering his face. An old man, bare-chested and bare-chested, held a pampa fan uncontrollably, with a pair of flat shoulders behind him, and two wooden barrels with lids, and I don't know what was in the barrels.
When Ding Yi came to the stone pavilion, he never thought that there were so many people here, so he had no choice but to continue to walk to the depths of the bamboo forest, find a clearing with a big stone, take out his notes and study it carefully.
In the meantime, there are also tourists passing by occasionally, Ding Yihun doesn't care, in this Jiyun City, the security is still quite good. I won't worry about any cut path thieves and bad idiots.
Ding Yi sat on the boulder, carefully experiencing what he had learned in the past two days, closing his eyes from time to time, using his original associative learning method to memorize the learning content.
Open your eyes, close your eyes, open your eyes, close your eyes.
When he opened his eyes, uh, what was the situation? Ding Yi suddenly found that the boulder he was sitting on was moving, not shaking from side to side, but suddenly rising upward. Ding Yi was a little stunned for a while, what is going on? The earthquake will not be like this!
The boulder rose nearly two meters high, stopped continuing to rise, and the boulder began to move nearly two meters to the right, Ding Yi had already changed from sitting to lying on the boulder, and followed the boulder uneasily, the boulder fell to the ground, and Ding Yi on the boulder also received a lot of vibration, to be honest, Ding Yi's five abdomen and six organs were shaken. Only then did he find that a large hole had been revealed where the boulder had been placed, and a sturdy man in black was the first to jump up from the hole, followed by seven or eight men in black.
Obviously, the black-clothed people who came out from under the boulder didn't know where the outside of the boulder was in advance, and as soon as they came out of the hole, they formed a hollow formation of four inner and four outside.
Ding Yi is going to die or not, just in the inner circle of this group of people. Dressed in black uniforms, these people are holding a four-foot Xuandao in their hands, this kind of knife is between a sword and a knife, but the Xuandao only has a single edge, and the sword has a double edge, and the handle of this Xuandao is slightly longer than the ordinary knife, this is the preparation of the special search group, these black impermanence is the people of the special search group!
Ding Yi thought that these people had already left Jiyun City to chase the fugitives, but he didn't think that these guys were still here. It is even more unclear why these people came out of the ground.
"Where is this?" The sturdy man who came out first, his five fingers were stretched, and Ding Yi couldn't help but feel a suction surging over, and he was caught off guard by the sturdy man's aerial shots. This person is very direct, and the whole big hand is pressed on Ding Yi's head, it seems that he wants to collect his soul and want to read Ding Yi's thoughts directly, this kind of cultivation method is very cruel, and the prisoner often becomes an idiot or a madman afterwards.
Ding Yi was horrified, he had not yet figured out what this situation was when he encountered the most terrible situation in his life.
"Stop, Long Ze, I know this kid, don't do it yet. A voice saved the scene in time, and Ding Yi experienced a reincarnation in the moment of life and death, and his face became pale.
Brushing shoulders with death, Ding Yi looked at the man who spoke out to save him, it was He Tao, who had dealt with Xu Ji once before, and Ding Yi had also sold a puppet to him for the 'red-eyed devil'.
"Do you remember me, boy, tell me what this place is, and who's around here?" asked He Tao.
Frightened, facing such a group of people who looked like messengers from hell, Ding Yi hurriedly explained the situation about the Purple Bamboo Forest to these people.
It turned out that I don't know who discovered this underground labyrinth in Jiyun City, the special search team was searching underground, and when they found the purple bamboo forest, maybe it was the special vegetation characteristics of the purple bamboo forest, there were bamboo shoots on top of the boulder, although it was only a small gap, but it was undoubtedly a good sign underground, and the people of the special search team went around underground for several hours without seeing the sun, and they were impatient for a long time, so there was a story of a strong man moving the rock and appearing in front of Ding Yi.
"You're not in the front store, what are you doing here?" He Tao asked again.
"I just wanted to find a quiet place to learn puppetry. Ding Yi replied pitifully.
Picking up the notes that fell on the ground, He Tao flipped through a few pages and threw it back to Ding Yi.
"You go, don't come to this kind of place in the future. He Tao said in a sullen voice. After a look at the man named Long Ze, the eight black-clothed men walked in the direction of the stone pavilion.
Ding Yi's scalp is still aching, the guy named Long Ze has a really big hand, fortunately the red devil called in time, otherwise it would not be good this time, and his life would have been taken. Ding Yi was no longer in the mood to study, so he hurriedly ran home with his notes.
