Seeing that the monsters were unwilling to come out, Cui Zuofei pointed at a monster with a red face and said, "Come out now."
"No way, Brother Fei, why is it me again? You better be gentle." Although the demon seemed to be afraid of Cui Zuofei, he did not continue to hide after being named by Cui Zuofei. Instead, he stood up.
"Stop talking nonsense and start fighting." Cui Zuofei said to me again: "Xiao Jiu, watch me carefully. Watch how I fight. Fighting with monsters is the same as fighting with humans. It must be clean and quick. Watch carefully."
After saying that, Cui Zuofei rushed forward. Originally, Cui Zuofei was not far away from the monsters, and in an instant he was in front of the monster with red lines on his face, and then kicked the monster in the waist with a whip-like kick. Although the monster was reluctant at first, he was not hesitant when he really started to fight.
The demon reacted quickly when Cui Zuofei rushed over. He immediately jumped back one meter, making Cui Zuofei's kick miss. However, Cui Zuofei was not in a hurry. He calmly took out a yellow talisman from his waist. He held the talisman in his left hand, put the index and middle fingers of his right hand together, placed them on his forehead, and chanted: "Hurry up and obey the command."
Then he held the talisman in his left hand and slapped the monster. The monster was also startled when he saw Cui Zuofei using the talisman. Just as he was about to dodge to the side, he saw Cui Zuofei forming a seal with his right hand, pointing at the monster and shouting, "Stop."
As soon as he finished speaking, the demon's feet suddenly became unable to move. Seeing that the talisman was close to him, the demon howled helplessly, and with a whoosh, his human form turned into a ten-meter-long python as thick as a bucket, and then he quickly jumped to the side, barely avoiding the talisman.
"Brother Fei, it's just for fun, don't take it so seriously. You beat me right away and I can't even start." The giant python spit out its tongue and spoke innocently in human language.
"It's just for fun. Do you think you can fight with me for so long if I'm serious?" Cui Zuofei said lightly, but he was extremely firm. The giant python didn't reply after hearing this, as if it also determined that if Cui Zuofei really wanted to fight with it, it might not be able to hold on for so long. The python spit out its own core and crawled to the other six monsters and changed into a human form.
Although the battle was short, it gave me a thrill of fear. The main reason was that I didn't expect Cui Zuofei to be so powerful. Those few simple moves just now were enough to defeat this monster.
At this time, I ran to Cui Zuofei and asked, "Brother Fei, why are you so powerful? You are still so young, it doesn't make sense for you to be so powerful." I looked Cui Zuofei up and down again. He looked very young and didn't look like some old monster in disguise.
"It's all acquired through practice. If you practice hard with me, you will have my skills sooner or later. Besides, your master is Mr. Liu." Cui Zuofei suddenly felt like he had said something wrong, and immediately changed the subject and said, "Did you see all the moves I used just now?"
I didn't care. Anyway, I knew that my master was very mysterious, but no one told me what was going on, so I got used to it and didn't ask any questions. After listening to Cui Zuofei's words, I nodded. He just kicked and used talismans. In the end, the monster wanted to run away, so he used magic to shock it. Wait, I thought about it again, that's not right, what kind of magic can be so powerful that it can suppress a monster and make it unable to move.
"Brother Fei, when the python was about to run away, what kind of Taoist magic did you use to subdue it? It's pretty awesome." I asked with squinted eyes. The gesture just now always felt very familiar.
Cui Zuofei seemed to be thinking about something, but after hearing what I said, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "What? Didn't your master teach you?"
"My master? He taught me how to draw talismans. I have never learned such cool tricks as those just now." I thought about it and said.
"No way, I didn't even teach you the Palm Talisman?"
"What, Palm Talisman?" I was stunned for a moment: "Fuck, I have learned Palm Talisman, but I have never heard that Palm Talisman can also kill monsters from a distance, doesn't it have to hit the monster directly?"
Cui Zuofei smiled disdainfully and said, "The palm talisman you mentioned is just because those people haven't practiced to the point where they can use it through the air. Have you seen A Chinese Ghost Story? The one Yan Chixia used in that story is actually the palm talisman."
"Is it Yan Chixia who made a palm gesture with both hands and a machine gun?" The wind-like man appeared in my mind at this moment. His sloppy beard had betrayed him deeply. I have to say that Yan Chixia is the coolest character in A Chinese Ghost Story. As someone who particularly likes to watch A Chinese Ghost Story, how can I not remember the sentence: Heaven and earth are boundless, and the universe borrows the law.
"Actually, it's not as exaggerated as it is on TV. I can only hit it three meters now. If there is someone in real life who can make palm talismans like Yan Chixia, then his level of Taoism is probably not much different from the legendary Zhang Tianshi." Cui Zuofei looked at me, as if he knew what I was thinking, and quickly explained to me.
I nodded and continued to ask, "Then how can this palm talisman be used to develop the ability to defeat monsters from a distance?" To be honest, I have never paid much attention to the palm talisman before. After all, based on my previous understanding, I believed that the palm talisman was a useless Taoist technique with low attack power and short attack distance.
But after seeing Cui Zuofei's palm talisman, I suddenly wanted to learn it. Are you kidding? This is a skill that can be upgraded and increased in points.
"Practicing this is not as simple as you think. Let's not talk about it for now. After all, fighting against ghosts and monsters requires more than just talismans. You are now very similar to me before, completely dependent on talismans. But what if you don't have talismans yourself?" Cui Zuofei asked me.
"No talisman? I haven't really thought about this. Or how is it possible that there is no talisman?" I scratched my hair and replied.
"Humph, I can tell from the look of it that you've been spoiled by your master. You've been hiding behind your master from the beginning, letting him handle everything for you."
"You mean you didn't ask the master for help at the beginning?" I followed his words and asked. I was very curious about Cui Zuofei's past, but he never told me. Although he looked glib and cynical, I always felt that he was very mature inside, and his current appearance was just a cover-up.
"Back then, I learned some Taoist magic from my master, received a book, and then went out to explore the world and subdue demons and monsters." Cui Zuofei did not hide it and said it with great pride.
"Okay, stop interrupting. Now you should fight that monster immediately and practice combat." Cui Zuofei suddenly changed the subject.
I didn't ask any more questions. This time a demon came out from the opposite side. He looked very thin, a bit like an opium addict, with a pale face and skinny body.
"Kid, what's your name?" the guy opposite said as soon as he came out.
"My name is Wu Jiu. I don't know your name." Just after I said that, I felt my vision blurring, my head getting dizzy, and my head felt heavy. I really wanted to sleep. Just when I was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden snap and a sound of fingers snapping came from my ear.
Then my mind cleared up instantly, and I looked around. I was still at the mass grave. I was shocked. Cui Zuofei said with a bit of disappointment: "Fool, when fighting ghosts, if someone calls your name or asks you your name, you must not answer. Got it? Fortunately, this is just a practice. If you really get into trouble, you will easily lose your life like this."
When I heard this, I broke out in a cold sweat on my back. At first I thought it was a demon summoned by Cui Zuofei, and since Cui Zuofei was nearby I relaxed my vigilance. I didn't expect this demon to be so insidious.
The demon on the other side saw that I was bewitched and did not continue to attack. When he saw that I woke up, he continued: "Hehe, little kid is really interesting. It's been a long time since someone answered such a question so naively."
My forehead was black. Wasn't this clearly saying I was stupid? I didn't continue talking. I took out a "Talisman to Suppress Evil Spirits" from my bag and prepared to charge. Cui Zuofei immediately said, "Put the talisman away. This training is only for hand-to-hand combat. You can only use the palm talisman at most. Got it?"
"Fuck, how can I fight if I'm not allowed to use the talisman?" I turned around and said to Cui Zuofei.
"Anyway, you can't use the talisman, no matter how I fight." Cui Zuofei said shamelessly. He thought I was him. The palm talisman was so powerful that of course I wouldn't be afraid without the talisman.
The palm talisman is actually a medium, just like the yellow talisman, except that the yellow talisman uses yellow paper, cinnabar, etc. as a medium to cast spells, while the palm talisman uses the palm or the back of the hand as a medium, and then draws the talisman on the palm and casts it out.
If I don't need it, I don't need it. I don't believe that I can't do it without the palm talisman. Thinking of this, I threw all the talismans to Cui Zuofei. When Cui Zuofei saw me doing this, he gave me a thumbs up, as if he was quite satisfied with my behavior.
The skinny monster on the opposite side saw that I was ready, so he didn't show any mercy. He ran to me like a gust of wind and punched me in the jaw. I immediately flew three meters away and felt blood gushing out of my nose.
Damn it, it was so cruel, hitting my face, which I am most proud of, so I didn't care, I propped myself up with my hands and stood up, then picked up a wooden stick on the ground, rushed up and hit the monster's head, and swept it down. The monster didn't dodge, and let my wooden stick hit its head. In fact, it was not hurt at all after the stick came down, but it took the opportunity to punch me hard in the chest. I was immediately knocked three meters away again.
No, my attack had no effect on this monster, and the talisman was also with Cui Zuofei, so I couldn't use it. Just when I was anxious, Cui Zuofei said, "Boy, don't you know how to use the palm talisman, idiot?"
I just realized it after hearing it. That's right, I know how to use the palm talisman. It seems that only the palm talisman can work on this monster. Since I thought of it, I didn't do anything else. I just stretched out my left hand and started to draw. The monster on the opposite side seemed to want to give me a chance to practice, and didn't continue to attack.
