After steeping the tea for a few times, the taste has become as light as water. However, the heat of the newly added hot water is still there. In the steaming smoke, the ups and downs of the past have already attracted all my attention. I have held the teacup in my mouth several times. Before, I forgot to drink it.
Old Man Jiang stopped talking and lit a pipe of dry cigarette alone, and started smoking. I was anxious and couldn't help but ask: "Master, what happened next? Did you shoot after that?"
"It's open. I didn't dare at first. My master said that if a man likes to take revenge, there is no clear sky in this world to uphold justice for anyone. Later, my master took away most of Liu San's money and gave it to the Zhao family. Give it to the villagers, and I will leave the village with them."
"Then what?" The story was so good that I couldn't help but keep asking.
"What's the matter? I'm telling you these things just to tell you that you still have three uncles, plus me, that's four. The four of us have inherited a few things from your master. Let you Figure out which lineage of our sect you belong to." Old Man Jiang was impatient to answer so many of my questions and directly pointed out the key points.
"Isn't there Master Li, Master Chen and you? Why is there another one?" I didn't understand.
"Later, I also took in a younger junior brother, Wang Lipu, who is your junior uncle Wang."
"What about master and uncles? Why aren't you with them? Are they all together?" To be honest, I really want to meet these uncles. Life with the master would be lonely. .
Old Man Jiang stopped talking, even putting the cigarette to his mouth and forgetting to smoke it, his expression showed the same sadness as that night again.
But this old man didn't have a straight face, and I didn't know if he was really sad, but I couldn't help but ask where is my master? In my heart, my master is more fascinating to me than my cheap master, man! Jianghu knight! Good skill! He fulfilled all the children's dreams.
Thinking of my master, who is vulgar, likes to look at older girls, is delicious, bullies children... The crimes are almost too numerous to count.
But I didn't expect that as soon as he asked this question, Old Man Jiang's body shook slightly. I didn't know if it was an illusion. I found that his eyes were red, but the next moment he became furious and gave him a dry tobacco pot. I knocked it down and shouted: "You said you are such a melon, why do you have so many problems? Believe it or not, I asked you to copy the Tao Te Ching a hundred times, a hundred times! A hundred times!"
Because of his excitement, Old Man Jiang emphasized it twice and a hundred times. The smoke pot also hit my head and hurt. I admit that I was scared and shrank my neck, not daring to ask any more questions.
After calming down for a while, Old Man Jiang said: "Your master is a genius. According to the five channels of Taoist metaphysics, except for those in ancient times, this has been passed down for thousands of years. No one can say that he is proficient in all five channels. But your master said He had the good fortune to be involved in all five channels."
"Which five meridians?" In fact, I am blind to these basic common sense, and the master did not explain it to me in detail. It was rare for him to talk about it today, and I was very interested in hearing it.
"Mountain, medicine, fortune, divination, fortune-telling! Medicine is the best to understand, that is medical skills and pharmacy, and there are also some miscellaneous studies that come with existence, such as attaching thoughts to medicines. Spiritual healing techniques, etc., this is for you Master Chen inherited this lineage. Numerology and divination are inseparable. Judging people's fate, fortune, inferring the universe, and seeing the secrets of heaven are all the successors of these two disciplines. The most powerful ones are inherited by you, Master Li. It is these two channels, physiognomy, reading people's physiognomy, such as touching bones, palm reading, face reading, etc., the Feng Shui of Yang house and Yin house all belong to physiognomy, which is inherited from your uncle Wang." Master slowly gave I explained.
I thought it was so amazing. Everyone who heard about this metaphysical ability made me yearn for it, and I didn’t expect that medical skills were also part of the metaphysical lineage.
"The same goes for medical skills, Master?" I couldn't help but confirm it again.
"What about medical skills? Bian Que is a member of our Taoist family. Like Zhuangzi, he studied under Chang Sang Jun. The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic is also the medical book of our Taoist metaphysics. It can be said that the whole line of Chinese medicine belongs to our lineage of metaphysics. Don't you think so? ?" Old Man Jiang jumped up and said excitedly.
It's a pity that I'm only ten years old, and I don't know any of the people he's talking about. It's useless for him to be so excited, but I don't dare to show it, so I can only nod my head repeatedly, as if convinced, and Old Man Jiang is satisfied.
Alas, what can be done? If there is a very ignorant master, then his disciple is destined to be very sensible.
After the commotion for a while, I remembered to ask about our lineage and said, "Master, then we are the Shanzi lineage. Isn't it also particularly powerful?"
"Our lineage, alas..." Old Man Jiang sighed and stopped making trouble. After pondering for a long time, he said to me: "Our lineage has a good reputation. It is one of the five schools of metaphysics. First of all, the abilities of the four lineages are all serving our lineage. However, the people who are walking around in the world now and the ones who can eat well outside are the people of the four lines. Our lineage has declined very much, with feudal superstition. It’s basically our lineage.”
"What's wrong with our lineage?" When I heard this, I felt the same pain as my master, but I didn't believe it. In my eyes, my master was actually quite capable.
"What is the most important pursuit of the Shanzi Meridian? Become an immortal! The purpose of developing the medical meridian is to provide yourself with medicine to strengthen your body. The second destiny divination meridian is to ward off evil and avoid disasters for yourself, and the second is to travel in the world. , raise money, because you are poor and don’t practice Taoism, especially the self-cultivation of the mountain lineage is a bottomless pit, precious medicinal materials, and various practice materials are like burning money. Develop the lineage of Xiang, understand it better, and provide yourself with disciples and disciples. The Feng Shui Land is being repaired and we are about to raise money. All this is to repair the mountains." Old Man Jiang sighed.
My mouth is so big, what am I learning? Am I studying to become an immortal? Although I have seen ghosts and monsters, I have never seen this kind of immortal, and I have never heard Master talk about it. I feel that I am not destined to become an immortal. Isn’t this nonsense
"When Chengxian said it, alas..." Old Man Jiang also sighed, and then said: "Anyway, almost all Taoist health science comes from our Shanzi Mai. Speaking of which, our Shan Zi Mai also has the most secrets. Immortality, Taoism, illusion, spirit, and weapons are all about the secret art of our Shanzi vein. This is the art of becoming an immortal, Taoism, illusion, spiritual cultivation, martial arts, and weapon control. Let’s break it down a little more. The art of talismans, the art of suppressing formations, praying for star strength, hand tactics, Bu Gang, sword cultivation, etc., are all the secret skills of our Shanzi lineage. In short, catching ghosts among the people, eliminating demons and catching demons are also the secret skills of our Shanzi lineage. Things that talents can do.”
Now I also understand why our Shanzimei is said to be feudal and superstitious. It’s all about being a god, catching ghosts, etc. If you don’t believe in superstition, who will
However, Shan Zi Mai's ability to walk in this world is indeed inferior to that of the other four meridians, and he is also a waste of money. No wonder he is so miserable.
"The ultimate pursuit and goal of Taoism is to become a master of this mountain. Not to mention other things, it's okay to become an immortal. It's a pity that only a few such people can come out in thousands of years? Disciple, you followed me Don't you feel aggrieved?" When Old Man Jiang said this, he looked like a child, looking at me expectantly.
"No grievances, catching ghosts and monsters is quite majestic." I quickly said, it is quite majestic. No matter how you say it, I still have a psychological sense of superiority. In the five branches of metaphysics, we are still the boss after all, aren't we
"Okay, okay..." Old Man Jiang was quite pleased and kept touching my head hard. The force was so strong that I almost didn't get a concussion.
"Speaking of which, I was the one who inherited the mountain lineage back then. Alas... all the brothers and sisters also wanted to inherit this lineage. Forget it, let's not talk about what happened back then." Old Man Jiang hesitated, speaking. It was obscure. God knows what he was talking about, but I understood the meaning. Anyway, this most psychedelic Shanzimai, Ganqing, was still a hot commodity among the brothers.
"Anyway, from today on, I will teach you the art of cultivating secrets, and some methods of practicing Qi and inner alchemy, and I will also start to slowly teach you." Old Man Jiang was moved for a while, and then suddenly became serious.
"The art of cultivating secrets?" I asked curiously.
"Well, don't you envy my ability? The art of cultivating secrets is to draw talismans, hand techniques and so on. I will teach you from today on."
I felt happy for a while. After studying for so many years, I finally started to learn what I wanted to learn most.
"However, I have to tell you one thing, my identity." Old Man Jiang suddenly said.
