"Everything I learned in my life came from my father, and my father learned from my grandfather. At that time, when the war broke out, my grandfather wandered around begging, met a strange person, and learned a lot of skills. Suppression, denounced as feudal superstition. Even the orthodox Buddhism and Taoism are hidden in the mountains, and my grandfather was originally a folk craft, and he dared not take the lead."
On the second day, in the old residential building, Xue Zhao sat on a dilapidated sofa, listening to Li Daoyu explain the reason:
"That strange person should have a sect, but in my generation, many things are gone, so I say ancestral. Back then, he taught my grandfather a lot of skills. In addition to reading, there are also some scriptures, spells, nourishing energy, Secret techniques and so on. In fact, I am ashamed, I am not good at learning, and I can only barely keep the inheritance."
"Too modest, you are an expert in the world."
Xue Zhao quickly answered, and said, "Are you going to pass on these skills to future generations?"
"Well, I was married in my early years, and my wife died, leaving no children. Now that I am old and the conditions are not good, I gave up my mind."
"Then you don't want to accept an apprentice?"
"Although these things of mine are not as good as those of famous schools, they still have some power. If I find someone with a wicked heart, wouldn't I be a sinner? Sigh, take your time."
"Morality comes first, you are right."
Xue Zhao nodded, echoed, then fumbled in his pocket and took out a bank card: "I don't mean anything else, you keep this first."
After finishing speaking, he looked around again and said, "I'll find you a spacious place after a few days. This house is too old and really doesn't fit your status."
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Li Daoyu stood up and quickly refused: "I can't take this, absolutely can't take it!"
"It's just a thought, you can accept it. I also want to make a good relationship, and I will come back tomorrow..."
Xue Zhao put the card on the table, wiped himself and went out.
Li Daoyu walked all the way to the stairs, then turned around and came back, his expression suddenly changed, completely different from the peaceful and gentle just now.
There was a password on the card. He checked the account first, and there were 200,000. It is not worth mentioning to Xue Zhao, but to ordinary people, it is not a small sum.
"A rich man is a rich man, and his actions are really rich."
He put the card away, a little excited, hurried into the bedroom, and opened the box again.
First, please get out of the altar and put it in order, then take out a soft cloth bag, unpack it layer by layer, and inside it is a statue of a god more than half a foot high. This statue has an old face, wearing a broad robe, long eyebrows and long beard, holding a jade ruyi in his left hand, and a disc with a Yin and Yang pattern printed on it in his right hand.
Li Daoyu stood the statue in the niche, respectfully lit three sticks of incense, and kowtowed nine times. After the incense burnt out, he carefully hid it again.
What he said to Xue Zhao, 70% true and 30% false, everything else was true, that is, the origin of his family, which is actually very clear.
His lineage was passed down from the Ming Dynasty, the first ancestor was called Han Gaozhao, known as Piao Gao Patriarch. This person was poor since he was a child, and lived by begging for food. Later, he met a master and prayed for three months to get started. Then he meditated in Caoxi Cave for three years, and finally realized the truth.
After Han Gao recruited Taoism, he borrowed the teachings of the White Lotus Sect and founded a folk society called Sanyang Sect.
The so-called Sanyang is to divide the mortal world into three stages, Qingyang, Hongyang and Baiyang, which represent the past, present and future respectively, and are respectively governed by three Buddhas, the most respected being Maitreya.
Its purpose is to publicize the catastrophe, that is, when the red sun is over, the world will be in chaos, when the red sun is gone, the white sun will be prosperous. If you want to get rid of the sea of suffering, you must convert to the Sanyang religion.
This organization is just a bunch of nonsense, Han Gao recruited some skills, so he made up things, messed up Taoism and Buddhism, and fiddled with them.
Ya has never been recognized by the court, but she has countless disciples and has a wide influence. Before and after the founding of the Xia Kingdom, there were still many people who were active in the local area, and they were suppressed by the Qing Dynasty, and the ancient books and secret methods were almost destroyed.
So he didn't dare to reveal the truth, and could only give a seemingly detailed introduction. As for Xue Zhao's small thoughts, he is also very clear.
As for why the Sanyang Sect was suppressed? Because it has undergone evolution and degeneration, it has been classified into a very unique category of practice, collectively referred to as: cult.
…
Li Daoyu is hiding his thoughts, but Xue Zhao is not stupid.
After returning, he used his family relationship to conduct a thorough investigation. The conclusion is that the old man and his father are indeed innocent and not criminals.
Xue Ming also specially called, exhorting and exhorting, after all, he was trying to win over the guest, so he couldn't be careless.
In the next few days, Xue Zhao came over every day, bringing some rice, flour, oil, salt, and daily necessities, without saying a word. Li Daoyu accepted it completely without mentioning it.
Until the fifth day, sunny.
Outside a courtyard in the south of Shengtian City, two cars drove over slowly, and five or six people came down, led by Xue Zhao and Li Daoyu.
When everyone entered the yard, they saw green bricks paving the ground, planted with lush tall trees, a front and back yard, and eight rooms. The main room in the backyard is the living room, which is very spacious. Everyone sat down, and Xue Zhao asked, "Sir, are you satisfied with this place?"
"What do you mean?" Li Daoyu pretended to be puzzled.
"Hey, didn't I say that a few days ago. You live in such a cramped place, I couldn't bear it, so I discussed with Xiao Chen to free up a yard for you."
"you… "
Li Daoyu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xue Zhao, saying: "Don't worry, I still have something to ask."
According to the routine, he should kneel and kowtow at this time, but it was impossible for him to kowtow, so he got up and bowed, and said seriously: "I have admired Xuanfa since I was a child, and it is rare to meet an expert. Please give me some pointers."
"This... my ancestors have fate, and the law cannot be passed on lightly." The other party was extremely embarrassed.
"Hey, rules are made by people. Brother Zhao, you can see how he is. He is sincere and sincere. What worries do you have?"
"That's right, you don't have an apprentice now, what should you do if you really want to lose all your abilities?"
The young horses started to beat the side drums, and Chen Yu followed suit. After tossing for a long time, Li Daoyu finally sighed: "Oh, that's fine! But I have something to say first, we will not be masters and apprentices, your family background must be unusual, I really don't want to cause trouble."
"I listen to you, as long as you are willing to teach."
After some pretending you come and go, the two hit it off immediately, Xue Zhao gave him tea, and the title was settled.
Afterwards, he pointed at those people again and said with a smile: "Sir, they are all from our own family. If you tell them whatever you want, they will be your disciples and grandchildren."
"Even if you speak up in the future, the brothers still have some face in Shengtian."
"Yes, you are welcome, we all follow Brother Zhao."
Those lackeys of the Xue family expressed their opinions one after another, and then another person said carelessly: "Sir, I am straightforward, don't mind! Today is a good day, and everyone is neat. Why don't you show us your hand, we just opened our eyes."
"Hey, that's right, I heard that you are an old fairy, show off your skills!"
Everyone booed immediately, but Li Daoyu shook his head, pretending to be helpless towards the younger generation, and said: "Okay, okay, don't quarrel."
"..."
The room was silent for a moment, and the five eyes were fixed on the front. I saw him standing up slowly, with a shake of his right hand, he grabbed a yellow talisman, followed by pinching with his left hand, and chanted a mantra:
"Hunyuan Xuanzong, the root of infinity. Cultivate extensively for billions of kalpas, and prove my supernatural powers. There is a golden tiger in my body, and it will cover my body... go!"
puff!
As soon as the incantation fell, the talisman in his hand ignited spontaneously without fire, followed by a bang.
Where Li Daoyu was standing, large groups of white mist suddenly gushed out, and quickly spread around. Almost in the blink of an eye, the white mist occupied half of the room.
"What's going on, what's going on?"
"where is the guy?"
Everyone was startled, only to feel that the whole body was covered in whiteness, as if trapped in the clouds.
"Roar!"
Just as they were about to move around, they suddenly heard a roar of a beast, a huge body jumped out of the clouds and landed firmly in front of them.
"ah!"
Chen Yu screamed in fright, pointing at the thing, trembling uncontrollably.
Others even had chattering teeth, stiff hands and feet, unable to move at all. Xue Zhao was better, but his pores were standing upright, and he was breathing coldly.
"Roar!"
That thing roared again, and the shocking cloud of smoke drifted away, revealing a huge tiger head—it was nothing but a majestic golden tiger!
The golden tiger's tail was only one meter long, its eyes were like copper bells, its bloody mouth opened wide, and its four fangs protruded straight out, as if it wanted to swallow Chen Yu in one gulp.
"Don't, don't come here! Help, help..."
Just when Chen Yu couldn't hold it anymore and was about to slump on the ground, he heard another bang.
The cloud and mist dissipated miraculously in an instant, and the room was empty. Looking at him again, Li Daoyu was standing by the table, his face pale.
"..."
The crowd was silent at first, and then they became astonished. When the emotions calmed down, a strong sense of excitement and admiration immediately gushed out. Xue Zhao, who originally had the intention of probing, was even more enthralled.
"gentlemen!"
Immediately, with Xue Zhao as the leader, there were five people standing in front of them together, and they were greeted with a big gift.
"Hehe, please get up, please get up!"
Li Daoyu's eyes flashed fiercely, he forcibly suppressed the chaos, and raised his hand peacefully. With his innate cultivation base, using this talisman is considered a bravado.
It is said that this talisman is called Yunshenghua Phenomena, which is a kind of blinding method. If Wu Songbai was here, he would be able to tell at a glance that this was definitely Maoshan's method, and it was a relatively low-level one.
Without the attack power of half a dime, it can only scare people. But for preaching, the most important thing is the sense of form, commonly known as pretense.
He learned a skill from his father, and survived for decades, but there was no effect. At first I was anxious and desperate, but later it faded away. I just took it for fun, fiddled with it when I had nothing to do, it didn't matter whether it was successful or not.
This cloud biochemical talisman is a talisman drawn with essence and blood, with three sticks of incense every day, and it is offered to the east at sunrise, and it is self-cultivated by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it can be completed in fifteen days.
He tried it a few times before, but it didn't work, but when he tried it again a while ago, he felt something wrong when he took it in his hand-this talisman actually worked!
Afterwards, Chen Yu just happened to catch up with him and introduced Xue Zhao.
Li Daoyu took a fancy to Xue Zhao's background, so he deliberately locked him in. He didn't know what caused the talisman to take shape, but he instinctively realized that the opportunity had come!
…
Jiang Xiaojin came out of the airport with a big suitcase, and she really had the guts to stroll around her own garden.
This girl's height is 174, she wears a T-shirt and hot pants, and her two insanely big white legs are naked, which attracts the attention of countless people. That's all, she still has some kind of natural group ridicule attribute: if she doesn't do anything, she just pokes somewhere, exuding a kind of arrogance of all kinds of hate.
Ouch, I can't wait to slap her to death with a hammer, and then ravage her a lot. In a word, the sense of presence is super super super super super powerful!
"Sister, hurry up and get in the car, okay? Everyone is watching."
The driver saw her twisting and turning as if she was walking on a catwalk, and had a headache every minute.
"I'm so beautiful, but I'm still afraid of people looking at me? Why do you have a bitter face and accept me as wronged?"
Jiang Xiaojin sat in the back seat, blah blah blah: "It's a hot day, should you stay bored in the office, or sit in the car with the air conditioner on? Let me tell you, this year's year-end bonus is gone!"
“The company also has air conditioning…”
The driver knew her well, knew her bad mouth, and muttered something recklessly. Xiao Jin raised her eyebrows and was about to spray again, but luckily the phone rang to save her.
"Hello, Jiaojiao? Well, I just got off the plane and I'm walking home... This year's holiday is late, who the hell should I talk to?"
"Oh, I can't do it today, I have to rest... I can't do it tomorrow, I have to go to the door... Can you control where I go?"
"Well, I'll call you whenever I'm free, and you can wash up and wait for me... okay, I'll hang up first!"
The caller was Chen Jiao, Xiao Jin's high school classmate. After graduating from high school, she stayed in Shengtian to study in university, but her friendship was good, and she would meet several times a year.
Her family is also in business, and the old man is semi-retired and left to her brother to take care of it.
Her brother's name is Chen Yu.
