"Forget it, it's useless to tell you now." The master suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "I seem to have said too much. I can't tell you the plan to usurp the gods now. When the time comes, you will naturally know it."
I nodded and lay down without asking the master any more. When the master wants to tell me, he will tell me. If he doesn't want to tell me, it's useless for me to ask.
"Xiaojiu, take a good rest for a few days. You will be busy in a few days." The master suddenly said to me
"I have something to do," I looked at the master and asked
"Well, you have to find a way to go to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum to find the elixir of life." When the master said this, his eyes lit up and he continued, "The elixir of life in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum can extend your life by a hundred years. You only have two months left now. It is very complicated to use the Seven Star Lamp. Even if I want to use the Seven Star Lamp, I have to prepare for a year before I dare to light the lamp. Your two months of life now is obviously not enough, and I am not ready for the plan to usurp the god. You have to find a way to go to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum to find the elixir of life yourself."
"I heard from a cat demon that the elixir of immortality can also unlock the Yin-Yang Record." I suddenly remembered what Cat Sanniang had told me. The master did not hide anything and nodded, saying, "That's right, but there is more than one elixir of immortality in it. I don't know exactly how many there are, but it should be no more than five. But there is more than one, and I have never been able to calculate the exact number."
The master looked at me seriously and said, "This matter will be very dangerous and I can't help you in any way. You should think about it carefully. If you don't want to, I also have other ways to extend your life, but it can only extend your life by two years at most. Then you have to find a way to extend your life with the Seven Star Lamp by yourself."
"It's okay. I've already been through Guiguzi's Tomb. It would be nice to do some archaeological work at Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum." I smiled and didn't take it to heart. In fact, I wanted to go to Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum to grab the Yin-Yang Record a long time ago. At that time, I had no idea about Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum.
After hearing what I said, the master patted my shoulder and said, "You should have a good rest first. I will teach you some self-defense techniques in the next few days. You may have also felt that the 'Nine Star Magic Talisman' cannot be used." The master smiled bitterly and said, "I won't hide it from you. I was afraid that you would not want to go to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum to get the elixir of immortality now. I deliberately gave you the 'Nine Star Magic Talisman' just to force your life span to the point that you must go to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum to find the elixir of immortality. I hope you won't blame me."
I didn't get angry after hearing this. I nodded and said, "What's the big deal? You are my master who raised me since I was a child. Even if you didn't do this, I would still go to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. It's just a dilapidated mausoleum. It's not like I haven't been to an ancient tomb before."
The master smiled after hearing what I said, patted my shoulder, turned around and left the room without saying anything. I also lay down to sleep. The story that the master told me before was still floating in my mind. As for the master's use of the "Nine Star Talisman" to force me to go to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, I didn't think much about it.
I rested for two more days and lay in bed every day with nothing to do. Fortunately, the master was free and told me stories. He told me some ghost stories that I often heard when I was a child. Sometimes he would also talk about how naughty I was when I was a child in this room. It felt very comfortable and finally made me feel at home.
Two days passed quickly and I finally got better. It seems that my health is indeed getting better and better. In the past, I might have fainted for half a month after suffering such an injury, not to mention that I used two chapters of the "Nine Star Divine Talisman". But now I have almost recovered after two days of rest. I am not unconscious anymore, I just can't get out of bed.
On the third day, I was able to get out of bed. Although I was still sore all over, I felt much better. I also asked my master where the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum was during these two days, but he just wouldn't tell me. When I asked him why, he said that the effect of my black talisman had worn off, and if he told me, fate would notice it. He then told me that fate would arrange for me to find the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. When I asked him why he was so sure, he just laughed and never answered me.
On the evening of the fourth day, the master finally wanted to teach me something. Just after dinner that night, the master threw me a Taoist robe and said, "After dinner, follow me out. It's time to teach you some self-defense skills."
I didn't hesitate and changed into a Taoist robe after finishing my meal. The master is actually an old man who pays great attention to tradition. At least he wears a Taoist robe in most occasions.
After I changed into the Taoist robe and was about to take my backpack, the master stopped me and said, "You don't need to bring a backpack. The things in your backpack are useless. Follow me." After the master said that, he picked up a small backpack and walked out without looking back. I quickly followed him.
The master took me to the peach forest in Huilong Town. This peach forest was not far from our small house. It was only about 20 minutes away. When we arrived, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.
The peach forest is quite large and the trees are not very thick, probably as thick as an adult's arm. After the master walked into the peach forest, he looked around, nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is it."
"Master, what are you doing in this peach forest?" I asked, looking at the peach forest.
"Teach you the Sword Finger Talisman." The master smiled and said, "You seem to have learned the Sword Finger Talisman from this kid before."
I thought about it and nodded and said to the master: "Yes, I have learned it, but the power of this sword finger talisman is not that strong."
"Really?" The master smiled and took off his backpack from his back. He opened it and dumped out more than 20 copper coin swords. The master said, "The sword finger talisman works best with the copper coin sword. What you need to do now is to use the sword finger talisman and then the copper coin sword to chop down these peach trees."
When I heard what the master said, I looked at the short copper coin swords on the ground and then at the peach tree that was as thick as my arm, and I said to the master: "Master, how is this possible? The copper coin swords are so small and the peach tree is just an ordinary tree, not an evil copper coin sword. How can it be possible to break a tree?"
"What's impossible? Watch it." The master smiled, bent down and casually picked up a copper coin sword and muttered: "Hurry up and obey the order."
Suddenly, a white light appeared on the copper coin sword. The master, who looked quite sacred, said, "The sword finger talisman surrounds the copper coin sword with Qi, and then chop it down with one sword."
As the master spoke, he took the copper coin sword and chopped at the tree closest to him.
