Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 2374 Ding Ermiao’s first love (65)
This old Taoist was a good friend of Taoist Priest Sanpian. When he saw Ding Ermiao killing ghosts like crazy here, he wanted to use his status as a senior to teach Ding Ermiao a lesson.But when he saw the fierce look in Ding Ermiao's eyes, the old Taoist was also startled. He hurriedly put away his senior's airs, softened his tone, spoke to Ding Ermiao, and reported the name of Taoist Priest Sanpian.

Because the old Taoist knew that Ding Ermiao was being counterattacked by the evil spirit at this time, and his chest was filled with murderous aura. If he offended him, he would probably suffer as well.

"Looking for my master?" Ding Ermiao was stunned, not yet awake from the killing, and said: "My master has wandered away and is nowhere to be found. As for me killing ghosts, you don't have to worry about whether I hurt Tianhe or not. If one person does something, another person is responsible, and if there is any retribution, it will all be on my head!"

The old Taoist priest stepped forward slowly, looked at the sword in Ding Ermiao's hand, nodded and said, "What a sword!"

"Of course it's a good sword to kill demons and ghosts!" Ding Ermiao said lightly, feeling proud.

"But if the sword energy is too powerful, it will backfire on its owner. My fellow Taoist is young and full of energy, so he is really not suitable for using this murderous weapon." The old Taoist said.

"Hahaha..." Ding Ermiao laughed and said, "I don't need a weapon. Should I use a wooden knife to kill ghosts?"

"Of course, the peach wood sword can also drive away ghosts and demons." The old Taoist leader said: "Most people in the Taoist sect use wooden swords to prevent the evil spirit from coming back from the weapons. Taoism does not seek sharpness, but peace. Therefore, the peach wood sword is more suitable for Taoist disciples..."

Is there any truth to this?Ding Ermiao was stunned for a moment, frowning and thinking about Lao Dao's words.

The old Taoist observed the words and expressions and asked with a smile: "Little Taoist friend, was your heart boiling with murderous intent just now, and you wanted to kill everything you saw?"

"No." Ding Ermiao said in a daze.

"Yes, you must have." The old man stared closely into Ding Ermiao's eyes and said, "Just now, when I stopped you from killing ghosts, you were thinking in your heart that if I dared to stop you, you would kill me too. Drop it, right?”

"I..." Ding Ermiao was shocked and couldn't speak.

Just now, the moment the old man appeared, Ding Ermiao did have murderous intentions!
The old man smiled slightly and said: "This is the power of killing ten thousand people."

Only then did Ding Ermiao wake up, put away the sword, and asked: "Senior, do you know the name of this sword?"

"More than just knowing the name? Your master has told me the history of killing thousands of people and the story of its previous life. The blood-swallowing knife killed countless dead souls, killing gods from above, and slaying ghosts from below. Hundreds of ghosts can't get close... Later, it was still you The master, Taoist Master Juexin, transformed it and forged it into a sword, which resolved a lot of evil spirits. Otherwise, you would have become a demon at this moment." The old Taoist said slowly.

"You know the history of killing thousands of people. You are really a senior. May I ask what you call me?" Ding Ermiao asked respectfully.

"I am from Wudang Mountain, my name is Iron Tree." The old man said.

Ding Ermiao nodded, accepted the dying evil ghost, and said: "Senior, my master is no longer here. You can rest in our Qiyun Temple and wait for my master to come back. By the way, my name is Ding Ermiao."

"Okay, Taoist friend Ding and I are destined to be together, so please excuse me for a few days." The old Taoist was not polite.

"Senior, please invite me." Ding Ermiao also thought that the old guy was quite powerful and might be able to read minds. He wanted to stay with him for a few days to learn some Taoist knowledge and hear what he had seen.

It was already late at night when we returned to Qiyunguan.

Ding Ermiao didn't want to disturb Taoist Master Tieshu too much, so he arranged for him to rest.

Early the next morning, when Ding Ermiao got up to clean the house, Taoist Master Tieshu also got up and was doing Tai Chi in front of the door.

The Taoist ancestor of Wudang Mountain was Zhang Sanfeng. Zhang Sanfeng entered Taoism through martial arts, so his subsequent disciples were all very good in kung fu.Tie Shudao's Tai Chi boxing was very methodical, and Ding Ermiao watched from the side, greatly admiring it.

"Senior's Tai Chi is very good. I'd better not watch it, so as not to be suspected of stealing from my master." Ding Ermiao said deliberately, taking advantage of retreat.

"Hahaha... Preserving secret skills is a bad habit among Taoist sects and martial arts schools all over the world. My opinion is that I hope everyone can communicate more. If fellow Taoist Ding doesn't mind, you can practice with me." Taoist Master Tieshu said with a smile.

Ding Ermiao hesitated and said, "Okay, let's practice together."

Taoist Master Tieshu nodded and smiled, starting from the first move and practicing boxing with Ding Ermiao.

Ding Ermiao was smart, and it didn't take long for him to learn how to do it properly.

Taoist Master Tieshu stopped, nodded and said, "That's it for today. You can't go too far in anything, and the same goes for practicing."

Ding Ermiao nodded and asked Taoist Master Tieshu for advice on catching ghosts.

But it's strange that Taoist Master Tieshu is almost an idiot in terms of magic and Taoism, and he doesn't know how to catch ghosts at all.

"Senior, aren't you keeping it a secret?" Ding Ermiao asked.

"No, I have never learned the art of catching ghosts." Tieshu smiled and said, "But I can still talk about the scriptures. How about we sit down and discuss the Tao? If you have any questions about the scriptures during your daily reading, we can Communicate.”

Ding Ermiao immediately begged for mercy, cupped his fists and said, "Senior, please spare me, I don't like reading scriptures the most..."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about scriptures." Taoist Master Tieshu laughed without forcing himself.

Ding Ermiao also smiled and did her own thing.

After that, Taoist Master Tieshu lived in Qiyunguan, practicing boxing and chatting with Ding Ermiao every day.

Ding Ermiao fell in love with Taoist Master Tieshu and treated him as a senior, taking good care of him as much as possible.

But Ding Ermiao discovered that when Taoist Tieshu was chatting, he would unintentionally bring himself into discussions on various issues in the scriptures.This kind of subtle influence gave Ding Ermiao some signs of enlightenment. When he read the scriptures again, many difficult points could be easily solved.

"Senior, you were entrusted by my master to come here to enlighten me, right?" Ding Ermiao asked during a casual chat that day.

"It's just an exchange, how dare you give me some advice?" Taoist Master Tieshu chuckled.

"My master's lectures are different from those of my predecessors. Master speaks dryly, and I fall asleep as soon as I listen to them. Senior's lectures are very interesting." Ding Ermiao thought for a moment and said seriously.

"What your master is talking about is the scriptures, and what I am talking about is chatting. Just like those reading kids, the teacher talks about textbooks in class, and when I meet a storyteller outside, he talks about extracurricular books." Tieshu The Taoist priest is still very humble.

Ding Ermiao laughed, and found the old man even more amusing.

But the good times did not last long. After more than ten days, Taoist Tieshu had to say goodbye before Taoist Sanpian could wait.

Ding Ermiao was very reluctant to leave, but she couldn't insist on staying, so she had to see her off.

Unexpectedly, Taoist Tieshu just left in the morning, and Taoist Sanpian came back in the evening.

"Master, are you back?" Ding Ermiao hurriedly greeted him and said, "A Taoist Master Tieshu came to see you..."

"I understand. Ermiao, please hand over all my magical weapons and then go face the wall for a year." Taoist Priest Sanpian said expressionlessly.
