Facing Leng Feng's unfriendly face and Zhang Quezi's strangely smiling face, I had the illusion that I was born in a dilemma.
But in order to get the black-bearded fruit to save people, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the identity of Zhang Guizi's "third apprentice".
"Boy, are you Zhang Quezi's third disciple?"
"You'd better answer me honestly. Otherwise, if I find out you're lying, I'll make you pay for it!"
I really have a bit of a stubborn temper. After hearing what Leng Feng said, I felt very unhappy.
I nodded and replied to Leng Feng: "Yes, I am my master's third apprentice, but I have only been my master's apprentice for a short time. Although it has not been long, I think it should not be a problem to deal with a stinky old ghost like you."
Now that Zhang Guizi is standing by my side to support me, I am not afraid of the Leng Feng in front of me.
Leng Feng on the opposite side was so angry that his nose almost turned crooked when he heard what I said.
He glared at me and said angrily, "Boy, what did you say? Who are you calling a stinky Taoist priest? Don't think that I, Leng, won't deal with you just because you are Zhang Quezi's apprentice. Today I will show you how powerful I, Leng Feng, am."
After saying that, Leng Feng took out a talisman, stuck it on his body, and his figure became illusory, and he rushed towards me quickly.
"Old Ghost Leng, why are you so petty? It's just that the junior said a few fair words, why do you have to be so fussy? You even used the 'Body Movement Talisman', you really are not afraid of wasting it."
At this time, Zhang Guizi had appeared beside me. He put his hand on my arm and I leaned towards him.
When I stood still, I found that Leng Feng had appeared at my previous position. He raised his hand, obviously intending to slap me.
This is all thanks to Zhang Guizi, otherwise I would have been slapped by Leng Feng's palm.
Leng Feng stood there angrily, staring at me.
Fortunately, Zhang the Lame was standing in front of me, otherwise, I don’t know what to do. But now that he’s offended, it’s useless for me to say anything else.
"Zhang Quezi, is this the good disciple you taught? He has no manners at all and treats his elders like this.
"
Leng Feng gritted his teeth, and the flesh on his cheekbones trembled. It seemed that I had really pissed him off. His innocent face looked very dark under the light.
Zhang Quezi shrank his neck and said with a smile: "There is nothing we can do about it. My disciple is good in everything except telling the truth. But what he said just now is really true."
"Haha, Old Ghost Leng, I see, you are indeed a stinky Taoist priest. Even from such a distance I can smell the stench on you!"
Leng Feng was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and his heart was burning.
If he hadn't known that Zhang Quezi was not easy to mess with, he would have probably fought with Zhang Quezi by now. However, Leng Feng reacted quickly. He knew that he couldn't take it out on Zhang Quezi now, so he could only take it out on me.
Leng Feng sneered and returned to his previous appearance, looking arrogant as if he was a Taoist priest and he was afraid of no one!
Leng Feng raised his head and said to Zhang Quezi, "Well, since this guy is your disciple, I won't say much. Let him have a discussion with my disciple Luo Siwei to see who is better, the disciple you, Zhang Quezi, trained or my disciple."
Zhang Quezi put away the smile on his face, held his chin with his right hand, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Half a minute later, Zhang Guizi suddenly burst into laughter again, and before I could react, he pulled my arm and led me towards the bamboo house.
Seeing Zhang Quezi about to leave, Leng Feng asked, "Zhang Quezi, where are you going?"
Zhang Guizi turned around and looked at Leng Feng.
He said with a smile: "Since your apprentice wants to compete with my apprentice, I naturally have to help my apprentice prepare. Who knows if your apprentice has any dangerous things on her. What if she is as bad-intentioned as you, old man Leng, then my apprentice will suffer!"
"snort!"
Leng Feng snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Soon, Zhang Quezi and I entered the bamboo house.
It's strange to say, although Zhang Cuzi's leg looked lame, he walked very smoothly just now, not much worse than an ordinary person.
After entering the bamboo house, Zhang Quezi did not take me to his underground space, but took me to a small room inside the bamboo house.
As soon as he entered the small room, Zhang Quezi closed the door.
The bamboo door of the room.
At this time, his face was no longer smiling but filled with gloom.
Those eyes were staring at me in the room, making me feel creepy.
I stuttered, "Um... Master Zhang, what do you want?"
Zhang Quezi didn't answer me, but said to me coldly: "Boy, sit down on the wooden bench first!"
"Oh!" I said, and sat down on the wooden bench obediently.
At this time, Zhang Guizi performed a magic trick. He pulled out a flower plant from a flowerpot planted with orchids and dug out a black box from it.
Before I could figure out what was going on, Zhang Quezi asked me solemnly, "Yang Tianyi, right?"
He was calling me and I nodded quickly.
Zhang Quezi looked at me and said, "Yang Tianyi, I can't lose face in front of Leng Laogui this time, and your skills are too shallow. It is impossible for you to deal with Leng Laogui's apprentice. However, with this thing, I think your chances of winning will be great... ... It's a good deal for you!"
As he said that, Zhang Quezi opened the black box in his hand.
I saw him take out a bright white bead from the box. The color of the bead was like the eye of a cooked fish, but it was much larger.
When the beads were taken out, I could feel a particularly comfortable breath.
The next moment, I understood what that breath was. It was good karma!
How is that possible
How could good deeds be emitted from a bead
Seeing the confusion in my eyes, Zhang Quezi explained: "Boy, this is your chance. It can be regarded as a way for me to end my relationship with the Taoist profession. This bead is called Yin De Bead. It was condensed from the Yin De Qi that I forced out of my body after I did something wrong and was deprived of my Taoist status by the underworld..."
I was very confused by what Zhang Quezi said and I couldn't help scratching my head.
"You didn't understand?"
Zhang Quezi asked me with a smile.
I nodded awkwardly.
The next moment, Zhang Guizi raised his hand and slapped me hard on the head.
He cursed and said, "Idiot, what I mean is that this Yin De Pearl condenses the Yin energy of half of my body.
De, I want to give it to you to make it complete."
"Do you understand now?"
Seeing Zhang Quezi's angry look, I nodded repeatedly. But I thought to myself, this is what you gave me, not what I wanted.
Then Zhang Quezi glared at me and said unhappily, "I never thought that the good deeds of Zhang Quezi would be passed on to a silly boy like you. Well, you just sit cross-legged on the wooden table and chant the spell with me later."
I obeyed him obediently, for I was afraid that he would slap me on the head again and make me stupid. His slaps were very powerful.
Then Zhang the Cripple stuffed the so-called Yin De Pearl into my hand, and he whispered a spell.
"The Way of Heaven is complete, three and five are complete, the sun and the moon are together. Out of the darkness, into the dark, the Qi spreads the Way, the Qi communicates with the gods. When the Qi moves, all evil spirits and thieves will perish. Those who see me are blind, and those who hear me are deaf. Those who dare to plot against me will suffer the consequences..."
So I followed suit.
"The Way of Heaven is complete, three and five are complete, the sun and the moon are together. Out of the darkness, into the dark, the Qi spreads the Way, the Qi communicates with the gods. When the Qi moves, all evil spirits and thieves will perish. Those who see me are blind, and those who hear me are deaf. Those who dare to plot against me will suffer the consequences..."
As the spell was recited, I found that the Yin De Pearl was slowly undergoing changes.
Originally the Yin De Pearl was white, but soon complicated runes appeared on it one after another.
At first, the runes were lit up as one piece, but then one piece turned into two pieces, and two pieces turned into three pieces...
After all the runes on the bead were connected, white gas suddenly emanated from the Yin De Bead.
At the same time, I felt my head suddenly become clear.
It felt very comfortable, just like I was sitting cross-legged in a warm bath, with the hot steam constantly warming me.
I closed my eyes so comfortably that I couldn't help but moan.
What I didn't notice after I closed my eyes was that the cold look with which Zhang Guizi was looking at me turned warm after I closed my eyes.
His look was probably more like the look a father gives his daughter or son.
Of course, I don’t know this.
Those ones
The Yin De Qi emanating from the Yin De Pearls continued to fly towards my head and slowly sank into my body from the top of my head.
When I closed my eyes, it was as if I was no longer in this world but had gone to an extremely ethereal world. It was as if I was not sitting on a wooden table, but was floating in a mysterious space.
I seemed to hear some sounds in the dark, including laughter, crying, playing, shouting, anger, howling... ... all kinds of sounds mixed together.
When I woke up, I found that the Yin De Pearl in my hand was gone.
I know that all the good karma has been absorbed by me and has been blessed upon my body.
I was very surprised.
Zhang Quezi next to me asked me, "Boy, how do you feel?"
I thought about it and said, "I feel very comfortable. I just had a very mysterious feeling. I also heard all kinds of mixed sounds, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, all kinds of sounds!"
But Zhang Quezi in front of me said coldly: "You are dreaming!"
"Let me ask you, do you feel that your Taoism has become stronger?!"
As for the level of Taoism, I really don’t know how to feel about this.
Seeing that I was confused, Zhang Kuizi slapped me hard on the head again. I screamed in pain.
"Ouch! Why do you keep hitting me? I just started to be a Taoist priest not long ago!"
The lame Zhang on the other side was already glaring with anger, his dirty face turning pale. It looked like if I pissed him off again, he would be dead.
He gritted his teeth, smiled strangely and said to me: "Okay, okay, you are good. Damn it, why did I transfer my Yin De to a bastard like you? You are really wasting my Yin De! Get up, go out and fight that little girl!"
Amid Zhang Guizi's angry shouts, I walked out of the small room.
What I didn’t know was that my skills had been thoroughly improved over the past twenty years.
In fact, the so-called Yin De and Tao Xing are equal. The more Yin De one has, the deeper one's Tao Xing is.
As for how to test one's Taoism, the simplest method is to activate magical instruments or talismans. The depth of one's Taoism determines the power of the talismans and magical instruments.
