Weird past in the countryside

Chapter 7 Yuan Tianjun

It turned out that he was Yuan Tianjun who sealed Qiao Er in the wine jar.In order to show my admiration and admiration for him, I stepped back a few steps, staring at him with wide eyes in surprise.

Yuan Tianjun was also taken aback: "What's wrong with you?"

I tried to make my tone as sincere as possible: "So you are the famous Yuan Tianjun, the legendary Master Yuan Tianjun with boundless magic power, great supernatural powers, and widely loved by the villagers?"

I myself felt blushed when I said this, but I didn't expect this old man to be so serious, I saw him say seriously: "Not bad, not bad, I didn't expect you baby to have heard of me."

I have a feeling of wanting to vomit, but I dare not show it.

I think the matter is almost resolved, and I really don't want to be his apprentice learning these messy spells, dealing with ghosts all day long, and I'm scared to death.So I leaned forward and approached him: "Master, I have something to discuss with you. Look at me, I have never been interested in ghosts and gods. I am timid, and I didn't think about it." What can I do? I must thank Master for today's matter, that is, can we stop accepting me as an apprentice. Don't worry, I will introduce you to a better one. He has the foundation, you can accept him..."

"No!" Before I could finish, Yuan Tianjun interrupted me: "You apprentice, I'm sure. Your character, your attributes, and your aptitude are all excellent. I have been searching for decades to find it." .Why do you want to go back on your word? Our sect is the most taboo to go back on what you say, and you can go back on it if you want to. Do you want me to release the female ghost and let you keep her with you for the rest of your life?"

When I heard that this old man was also an incomprehensible person, but I was really scared, and quickly argued: "You misunderstood Master, I'm not going back on my word, I'm just afraid that I won't learn anything, but I'll embarrass the teacher. "

Yuan Tianjun smiled and said: "Don't worry, disciple, learn from Master and protect your skills. But I am also very interested in the wooden stick you mentioned, and I will see it some other day."

I thought I couldn't run away, so I simply sat down and told Yuan Tianjun the whole story, and Yuan Tianjun frowned as he listened.I had a premonition of the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly asked, "Master, are there any consequences?"

Yuan Tianjun sighed: "Forget it, Shanggou Village should have this catastrophe. It is not normal for that Qiao Er to think of committing suicide and turn into a ghost. Think about it, which normal person chooses to commit suicide in order to become a ghost, and he Then it will definitely turn into a ghost. The ghosts in the ghost world are relatively high-level ghosts. They can get on their bodies, spit out words, and hurt people. I think there must be someone who is behind the scenes. To pay such a big price, not only It’s as simple as coming back to harm someone, there must be a big conspiracy in it.”

I was very surprised: "Master, can you handle it?"

Yuan Tianjun did not directly answer my question, but told me about the origin of his sect: "My sect, ah, it should be said that our sect has historical origins, and it rose from the time of Qin Shihuang. In order to seek longevity, he found a lot of alchemists, but at the same time he wanted to know everything about people after death, so he recruited many capable people from the people in order to clear the yin. This is how we have this profession, which is collectively called Tongyin masters, there are also Tonggui masters, these have not been recorded in historical facts. This Tongyin master was originally a sect, and it was called Tiandi Xuanzong at that time. But in Wu Zetian's time, it was divided into two factions. Our sect is called: Xuanming , the other school is called: Xuanjian. The two sects have a lot in common, but the difference is that Xuanjian mainly focuses on subduing ghosts and advocates using high-pressure magic to control ghosts, so they are also called ghost subduing masters. And our Xuanming It is mainly to guide ghosts to reincarnate smoothly, and to return the world to the world, and rarely use high-pressure magic power. In fact, we should be regarded as ghost masters in the true sense."

I listened with gusto, and interrupted: "That is to say, Xuanjian relies on fighting, and we rely on ideological work. It sounds like they are more powerful."

"Bah!" The master spat: "Don't talk nonsense, curing ghosts is not an easy task. Our strategy is to convince people with virtue, of course we also need some spells. Their method of subduing ghosts is to avoid ghosts. Woolen cloth."

I curled my lips secretly, not daring to say anything more.The master continued: "Our two factions have never been in contact with each other. Although they came from the same sect, their principles of handling things are very different. We can't understand each other's sect. Master, I have never met someone from Xuanjian. So you ask me if I can After coping with the calamity in the village, I can't say well, if Qiao Er is controlled by Xuanjian's people, then things will be even more difficult."

I thought to myself, what the old man meant was that he couldn't beat him, so he was still dragging him.

I suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Master, my buddy Mu Zhuer said that my body is full of yin and yang, and my five elements are not balanced, so I can see ghosts. Is that true?"

Yuan Tianjun hummed and said, "Report your birth date."

I reported the horoscope of my birthday, Yuan Tianjun closed his eyes and calculated silently, then danced and said to me: "Your companion is right, ordinary people have a balance of yin and yang, even if there is a slight unevenness, it will not be obvious, you are indeed yin and yang." , and the ultimate yin overwhelms pure yang, and the five elements are also negative yang. Fortunately, you named Xiao Yang, which can make up for the loss of part of your yang energy, otherwise you must be weak and sick, and your body will suffer from many disasters. Now you can see hell, which shows your yin energy Risheng, this is what created your natural yin and yang eyes, you can control them proficiently with a little practice, it seems that you are really a rare talent in my Xuanming world, it is really my Xuanming's luck."

I thought to myself: "I am unlucky because of the yin and yang eyes. If I practice, I will also practice yang tonifying, and I must straighten the yin and yang."

After tossing around in the middle of the night, I saw that it was already dawn.I was also afraid that the wooden stick would be in a hurry, so I told Master that I wanted to go back.Yuan Tianjun said: "No hurry, you come with me." Then he turned and walked into the inner room.

I followed behind and walked in.The inner room is much wider than the outer room, and there is a picture of Yin Yang and the Five Elements drawn in the middle.There is an incense table against the wall, and above the incense table is an ancient painting, the color has turned yellow, and the painting on it is very scary.In the painting, a group of ghosts gather around, either standing or lying down, their faces are ferocious and sinister. Among them, there is a Taoist priest with a sense of immortality, with a law enforcement staff in his left hand and a clenching formula in his right hand. He seems to be preaching, but he is majestic.

Master walked over, twirled three incense sticks, lit them and inserted them into the incense burner, and motioned for me to kneel down, which I did.

The master bowed three times with palms together, and muttered in his mouth: "Patriarch is above, today's dishonorable disciple Yuan Tianjun got a son. The disciple believes that he should be able to learn the skills of our sect. Therefore, if he wants to teach him the ability, he will be able to revitalize him in the future." Xuanming." After speaking, he said to me: "Boy, follow me to do the chanting and worshiping formula with my master." After finishing speaking, the master made a formula with both hands, his fingers could be bent freely, coiled left and right, it was very complicated.I did it several times, but I couldn't pinch it, and my fingers were so painful.

Seeing this, Master came over and grabbed my hand, snapped it violently, and wiped away my painful tears (Northeast dialect: tears).Finally, I took a look at my hands, which had been made into the same shape as Master's, and I couldn't bear to look directly at them.

Master doesn't care about these things: "Follow me to read! Today Yuan Tianjun..."

"Today Yuan Tianjun..."

Master raised his hand and slapped my head: "Bastard, read your name."

I rubbed my head: "Today Henry Zhang..."

"Enter the Xuanming sect, learn the Xuanming school..."

"Enter the Xuanming sect, learn the Xuanming school..."

"..."

"..."

"I am strong, Xuanming, and I will never betray my teacher..."

"I am strong, Xuanming, and I will never betray my teacher..."

"If you violate this tactic, you will be devoured by evil spirits!"

"If you violate this tactic, you will be devoured by evil spirits!"

After reading a whole set, the master said to me with a smile: "Li Cheng, disciple, you have read the formula of worshiping a master, you have to follow it. If you violate the master's teaching, you will be swallowed by a group of ghosts."

No matter how I think about it, I feel like I've fallen for this old man's tricks, but there's nothing I can do about it, this old man is too stupid.Before I got up, I didn't forget to add two sentences: "Master, Xian Fuyong enjoys life and heaven!" I wanted to stand up with my hands, but found that my two hands were still pinched. The deformed hand was stretched out in front of the master, and the old man ravaged my hand again, returning to its original shape.

I rubbed my fingers that had lost consciousness, and the master said: "I will teach you a set of elementary methods of pinching hands first. In fact, it is to practice the flexibility of your fingers. When you are free, you need to practice more to achieve softness. Boneless, many spells of our Xuanming sect rely on hand pinching to complete."

After all, the old man practiced a set of finger exercises in front of me. It was really soft and boneless. I silently wrote it down. It was not because I wanted to practice some spells, but mainly because the next time I was asked to do the tricks, my fingers would not move. Will be broken by him.

I once again offered to go back and have a look.Master said, "Alright, I'll go with you to see if there are any changes in the village."

I was overjoyed when I heard that, even though it was already dawn, I was still very scared walking this mass grave alone.The two of us walked out of the wooden house, and the group of ghosts from last night could no longer be seen outside, I looked around and asked Master: "Master, why are there so many ghosts in this mass grave, what are you responsible for here? "

The master replied: "The mass graves are for those lonely ghosts who have no home, or those who died suddenly in the village. Those who don't want to be buried in the tomb for fear of affecting Feng Shui are buried here. It’s more than a dozen miles away. As a teacher, I’m responsible for managing these ghosts and restricting them from doing evil in the village. If there is a chance of reincarnation, I will guide them to reincarnate.”

I interjected: "Oh, Master is the urban management who maintains law and order."

Master gave me a blank look: "You can also say that. If there are wild ghosts who want to go to the village or escape from the mass grave, I will cast a spell to make them reflect on themselves. They will walk around the grave until the hostility is eliminated."

Only then did I understand the scene of the ghost wandering around the grave I saw last night.I am a little worried about that female ghost, after all, the reason I ventured here is because of her.Master seems to have guessed my thoughts: "Don't worry about that female ghost, it is the safest and fastest way to recuperate in my soul-locking ring. I have heard about her, and I have long wanted to bring her to me. One is that her heart is not pure, and the other is that the villagers didn't ask for it, and she has been active in the school classroom for a generation without any intention of hurting others, so I didn't have the heart to force her to come here. I didn't expect to hurt you two babies. "

Master walked in front of me, shaking his tattered Taoist robe that buried Batai.I said later: "Hey, master, you are considered a master of the sect, why can't you change into a decent dress? It affects your image a lot."

"You know what a fart, don't underestimate my robe, it's very useful at critical times."

We chatted and chatted, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning, and the sun was shining brightly. I knew that the stick would be worried about me, so I couldn't help but quicken my pace.
