Chapter 430: Become a Disciple
I always feel that I will never see the old man again in this life.
He is the last heir of Yizhuang.
If I take over Yizhuang now, shouldn't he teach me something?
It's impossible that the heir of Yizhuang is a novice who knows nothing.
I really don't know anything now, I'm just an idiot.
"Looking at your eyes, I know you have been scolding me and blaming me in your heart. Why don't you teach me something before leaving? Do you know how many years I have been tied to this village? Thirty years, exactly thirty years. In fact, when you were not born yet, I was hiding from disasters in this village. It happened that during that period, I went back to visit my relatives, and such a disaster occurred in the village. Guess why your blind grandfather took you in? It's because your parents put the keepsake I left behind in that swaddling clothes."
It turns out that there is another layer. In this way, the blind grandfather took me in because of his face.
As for why he risked his life for me later, it was also because of the feelings between the two of us who got along over time.
I have never doubted the relationship between Blind Grandpa and me. The relationship between us should not be mixed with any interests.
After all, at that time, I was nothing but trouble to Blind Grandpa.
"Hey, stop looking at me like that, kid. I know what you mean. You have both books. I can teach you two sentences about the rest, but it is limited to these few days. How much you can learn depends on your own understanding. The master leads you to practice and it depends on the individual."
The old man said this lightly, and I really wanted to slap him.
But I guess, don't look at him bending over and looking old and frail.
But if we really fight, I will definitely not be able to beat this guy.
And he should be a cunning old man.
I can only suffer losses in his hands. It is impossible to make a profit.
Thinking of this, I sighed helplessly and could only hope that I could keep up with his teaching pace in these three days.
Learn everything he wants to teach me, and then it doesn't matter whether I have learned anything or anything else.
At least I have the power to protect myself.
The old man said he would teach me for a few days, and he didn't hide anything.
He was doing his best to teach me during these few days. He originally said that all the mummies would be cremated that night.
But later, I don't know what the old man was thinking. He insisted that I use the bell myself.
Go to call the corpses to the center of the village, and then let me cremate all the corpses myself.
It was a dark and windy day, there was no light anywhere, and I was the only living person in the village.
I held the bell in my hand and shook it gently to summon the dried corpses in the house.
It was terrifying no matter how I thought about it?
But the old man said that this was a test for me, and it would be if I could really get this done.
He would stay with me for another month. If he couldn't get it done, he would collect the corpses for Er Zhou tomorrow.
We parted ways, and in order for him to stay for another month, I had to bite the bullet and come here and give it a try.
I will get used to it naturally after I encounter more such things in the future, so the fear now is only temporary.
I tried to comfort myself, but I knew that I would not encounter such a scene again.
After all, not everyone has the ability to turn all the villagers in the village into mummies at night.
These mummies followed me in a strange posture, moving forward little by little. I walked from the head of the village to the end of the village,
and slowly walked to the middle of the village with all the corpses.
When I got to the middle of the village, the old man was already waiting there.
Looking at his hunched appearance, he was no different from the mummies in the village.
I used the sound of the bell to gather all the corpses together again.
I took the messy oil from the old man, poured it on them, and finally used a lighter to light Zhou's corpse.
There was no bad smell when so many corpses were lit.
It was like dry firewood, burning crackling.
I stood in the distance, looking at the fire, and I felt a little strange.
Just when the fire was about to burn out, a gust of wind blew from somewhere,
the fire expanded rapidly, and finally all the corpses turned into ashes.
And the ashes spread into the air and were blown in all directions.
I think that thing must be playing tricks. He wants to send these people away from here to other places.
Whether it is along the rivers and streams, or in the mountains and wastelands.
In short, they left the village that had imprisoned them for 25 years.
The suffocation in my heart was mostly gone. Looking at the old man, I found that his body was more hunched.
The old man may have noticed that I was looking at him.
He looked up and smiled at me. There was a bit of a scary feeling in this smile.
But he and I are old acquaintances. At this moment, even if his smile is scary, I don’t think it’s a big deal.
Instead, I nodded to him. This old man will accompany me for a while.
No matter whether he can save my life or not, he is by my side to teach me things.
I think in the long run, I can save my own life.
It is more or less unrealistic to hand over your life to someone else.
It is more practical to rise up by yourself and save your own life.
"You are quite brave, so from now on you will be regarded as the 39th generation descendant of the Yizhuang sect."
By saying this, does he mean to accept me as his disciple?
There was also some excitement on my face. The old man might have sensed my thoughts.
He nodded to me and then led me into the cabin.
He didn't tell me about Yizhuang. Instead, he first explained the situation of the entire Taoist sect.
"The Taoist sect is now in disgrace, mainly Maoshan and Longhushan. These two are considered orthodox to the Taoist sect, but they are not very good at dealing with each other. To put it simply, they dislike each other. You don't like me, and I don't either. Going to you is like the two universities in Beijing now."
Well, they all think that they are the most powerful, so they are a little unconvinced by the other party.
"Then who are my parents?"
I think my parents should be orthodox Taoists. After all, the methods they used were basically the same as Lin Hualong.
"You kid is quite smart. Your parents are indeed orthodox Taoists, but one is from Longhu Mountain and the other is from Maoshan."
The old man said with a smile that these two people belonged to two different families, which was really surprising.
Every once in a while, there will be people of the younger generation in Maoshan and Longhu Mountain who like each other and want to become Taoist couples. "
