When I was a Taoist

Chapter 6 An old friend

My eyes were filled with hatred and anger. I was powerless to do what happened to my mother, which made me both angry and ashamed.

Gao Liang looked at me and remained silent for a long time. He took a deep breath and said, "I was just like you back then. I used to want revenge impulsively, but I knew I had no ability, so I could only bear it. Forest, you know that I Why did you change your name to Forest?"

Yes, my real name is not Lin Lin, my surname is Wang, following my mother's surname, my name is Wang Dazhi.

I twitched the corner of my mouth and said, "You say I am Huo Ming, but wood can prosper me."

Gao nodded, and then said: "You are indeed a life of fire, and the five elements lack wood. But I hope you can be like a forest, with a broad vision and a broad mind. When I saw you back then, you were already in a coma and dying. I have been talking about murder and revenge. If you become a murderer, I am really sorry for your mother."

I asked, "Is this why you have not taught me the Dao?"

Gao Liang smiled gratifiedly, nodded and said: "My master said that people who learn the Tao must be upright. You must know that we are more capable than ordinary people and have greater responsibilities. If we use this to do evil things, the consequences will be disastrous When I first met you, although you were young, you were already good at hiding your emotions. I couldn't see through you, so I never dared to tell you the truth."

Gao Liang said this, and took out a plastic file bag from his arms.He took out a cloth bag from the file bag.Open layer by layer, inside is a thin book.It was older than the corpse talisman that was taken out before, and the entire paper had turned dark yellow and black.

On the cover of the book, there are two characters written in seal script, but I don't recognize them.Gao Liang holds the book in both hands, as if holding a treasure in the world.

I asked curiously, "What book is this?"

A trace of fanaticism flashed across Gao Liang's eyes, and he said to me: "This is "Ghost Stories", which was written 300 years ago by the founder of our school, Han Xuzi. Han Xuzi is the No. 1 Taoist in catching ghosts and subduing demons. This is the secret book that the master passed on to me, and the master died because of it."

I stared at the ancient book in Gao Liang's hand. It was no bigger than an elementary school Chinese textbook, with only a few dozen thin pages. Since someone would kill for him.

Gao Liang closed his eyes tightly, and said to me: "Take it, it will belong to you in the future."

I didn't reach out to pick it up, but frowned and asked, "Why did you give it to me? Aren't you afraid that I will do evil?"

Gao Liang opened his eyes, and I could vaguely see the wet corners of his eyes. He said to me: "I don't have the ability to comprehend what is written in the book. I hope you can understand it. Don't let "Ghost Things" get dusty. As for your As a human being~ You know that I have helped your enemies today, but none of them escaped, which has already explained everything."

I smiled wryly, took "Ghost Matters", wrapped it up carefully, and then raised my head and said, "I will study "Ghost Matters" carefully."

Gao Liang and I supported each other, got down from the coffin, looked at the coffin tied up with ropes, and didn't know how to explain to the employer.Gao Liang said that everything depends on him, so I naturally believed his words.

By the time the two stumbled and walked to the entrance of the village with support, the sky was already dark.The Gu family was anxiously looking for Gao Liang and me.Seeing the two of us coming back from the outside in a mess, we were shocked.

Gao Liang made up a reason, saying that it was Mr. Gu who gave him a dream, saying that he was very sorry for bumping into the Hui family fairy, and was afraid that the Hui family fairy would anger the descendants.Then imitating the method of pleading guilty with a thorn, let Gao Liang help him tie it up, and then bury him after dawn.

The Gu family firmly believed in this.

Things went smoothly afterwards, and the coffin was moved and buried in one go.Gao Liang's reputation became even stronger because of the settlement of the Gu family's affairs.Because Gao Liang and I were too tired, we decided to rest at Gu's house for two more days.The Gu family wished we could stay longer. In the past few days, people from the village have come to see Gao Liang.

As for me, I studied Taoism with Gao Liang during the day, and watched "Ghost Things" by myself at night, hoping to learn some tricks.According to Gao Liang, he has only learned three superficial Taoism techniques, which he can teach me.As for the others, it depends on my own research.

The first type is the lightning-inducing talisman. After drawing the talisman, use your mind to urge the thunder and lightning to circle around. If you are powerful, you can lure the thunder from the sky.According to himself, his lightning talisman can only emit weak electric sparks, which cannot hurt anyone.At that time, when scaring the fox fairy, it was already the most powerful.

The second type is the Pathfinder, whose function is to allow normal people to see ghosts.It is of no use to the Taoist priests themselves, because the eyes, ears, mouth and nose of the yin and yang have already been opened in the rituals required for the Taoist priests to enter the Tao.

The third is the mahogany sword that he always carries. According to him, the use of the mahogany sword requires the coordination of hands and feet, stepping on the foot, and pinching the seal with the hand.

But if you want to learn Taoism quickly, it is best to enter the Tao first.As a Taoist priest, he cannot marry or have children in his life, five disadvantages and three deficiencies.If you make a mistake in your sexuality, you will be punished by heaven.Gao Liang asked me to think about it, even if I don't enter the Tao, I can learn some superficial knowledge, which is enough for self-defense.

After living in Gu's house for several days, Gao Liang took me to Houshan, in front of my mother's grave, at noon one day, and asked me to kowtow to her.

There are no tears in my eyes, but my heart is bleeding.I didn't avenge my mother, and I didn't even dare to go back to the village.I need to be strong, I need strength.

Gao Liang said to me: "Have you thought about it? Do you want to enter the Tao?"

I nodded vigorously, and said to Gao Liang with firm eyes: "I, Wang Dazhi, am willing to enter the Tao, punish rape and eliminate evil, and subjugate demons and demons."

Gao Liang nodded slightly, and placed incense table candles in front of my mother's grave.

Then he motioned for me to kneel down and said: "Your master, I am a teacher of Yide Zhenren, and I belong to the Guiyi sect. There are eighteen rules and regulations of Taoism, I hope you will remember them. First, you must not do evil, harm the people, and help the evildoers. Second, you must not act rashly. "

Gao Liang forcefully recited the rules and regulations and the history of the Guiyi sect for more than half an hour.To put it simply, the Guiyi faction is small, but very powerful, and now the leader of the Guiyi faction is the enemy who killed my master.Gao Liang did not violate the rules about gambling and drinking, etc.But this kid is still serious and told me that it is not allowed to drink alcohol or eat meat.

After finishing the reading, Gao Liang took out a burning incense stick, shook it next to my ears, nose and mouth, and murmured in his mouth: "Open your eyes to see Yin and Yang, open your ears to distinguish spirits, open your mouth and nose to understand ghosts, All five roads are open, gods and ghosts do not deceive."

Then I took out a piece of yellow paper, wrote my name and date of birth, and wrote 'Bo Chi' in the column of Taoist name.According to Gao Liang, I was hit by lack of wood, so I must have the character wood, and I hope to have a pure heart, so I named it Bo Chi.The yellow paper was burnt and told the world that from now on, there will be a number one Taoist priest like me, my name is Bo Chi.

Wait a minute, it seems that the highlight is so weird, such a serious matter is still playing me, is there any idiot in Daoist name?It's a pity that it's too late, and it can't be changed later. The underworld didn't change the name.

I don’t know if it’s from my heart, or it’s really miraculous. After the yellow paper was burned, I seemed to hear the voices of countless people. They were so small that I couldn’t hear them clearly, as if they were laughing voices.Listen carefully, and it seems that I didn't hear anything.I asked Gao Liang, and Gao Liang was also puzzled. He was too young when he entered the Tao, and he didn't understand anything. He didn't know if there was a sound.

I have finally entered the Tao and can learn more skills.I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night, and it was only after dawn that I fell asleep in a daze.When he woke up again, Gao Liang was gone.

Because of Gao Liang's relationship, the Gu family was very polite to me.Gu Er said that Gao Liang left after dinner in the morning and left me a letter.I took the letter from Gu Er, and quickly tore open the envelope, inside there were a few lines written in pencil.

Aitu Pachi saw in person:

As a teacher, I'm in a hurry at home, so I'm going back first, you should study hard as a Taoist priest, don't make trouble, or I will beat you.

The signature is: Master Gao Liang
Gao Liang attached a note at the back of the letter, which detailed the three tricks he knew and how to deal with ghosts and gods in general.After being with Gao Liang for five years, it was the first time I was separated from him, and I was really not used to it.

After dinner, I bid farewell to the Gu family and planned to pay my respects to my mother before going back to the city.

But I saw an old man on the grave.
