Chapter 721 Gu Master's House
I carefully put away the pills given by my master and began to flatter. "My master is indeed the most powerful man in this world! His magic power is mysterious and unpredictable! No matter how difficult it is, as long as you take action, it will definitely be solved. My admiration for you is like a continuous river, or like the Yellow River flooding uncontrollable..." Papa! I was slapped three times in the head. The master said in a faint tone: "Didn't you say that no matter how poor you talk, just hit me?"
"Oh, I got it."
I held my head in grievance, looking like a bullied little wife. To be honest, if outsiders see me like this - especially those classmates in school, I will definitely be shocked. In front of outsiders, although I don’t say it is aloof, at least I have some momentum and majesty that exceeds my peers. In front of my master, I am more timid. But no matter what, the matter of the Xiao family has been solved by most of the time - although it is only a symptom not the root cause. At least, within two or three years, there is no need to worry about the "living zombie" Xiao Sheng's "All" within the "living zombie" is not a problem.
I was so tired. I thought it was obvious with my toes that the actual value of the pill given by the master was far greater than the "hard work fee" given by the Xiao family! After taking it, I suppressed his corpse qi and avoided the risk of losing control. As long as the Xiao Mao and his wife were not stupid enough to not listen to us at all. After solving this, I felt a little more at ease. "After returning to the town a few days later, let me see how the copy of the "Fubei County Chronicles" that Lao Cao asked Boss Duan to make. Let me tell him about this. Next, I can concentrate on dealing with Zhou Min's insidious contract."
Master and I started having supper. According to the rules, we can’t speak at this time. Eating is also a kind of practice! After eating, we naturally practice with the method of holding the solid for another fifteen minutes. Then, Master told me, “The village chief came to me yesterday and said that the Xia family yard was haunted. I hope I can go over and solve it.”
Xia Family Courtyard? I am quite familiar with this place. Xia Family Courtyard is right behind Wujia Village. After climbing a few more mountains, it is a small village located in the valley. There are about thirty or forty families, which is a little smaller than Wujia Village. When my grandfather was still alive, he would take me to cross mountains and ridges and play in some villages near Wujia Village. I have been there two or three times in the Xia Family Courtyard. However, the last time I went there was a few years ago. "Master, will we go over and have a look together tomorrow?"
I asked. Unexpectedly, she shook her head: "I have something to do recently, so it's not convenient to leave Wujia Village. So, you go there alone."
If I heard this a month ago, I would have been so scared that I shook my head hard. But now... I don't feel anything. It's not that I have become arrogant, but that after I digested the "corpse pill" given by Zhou Min with the help of my master, my overall strength has indeed improved by leaps and bounds. As long as I am not a particularly vicious ghost or corpse ghost, I will solve it alone without any big problem. I now lack real practical experience, not cultivation. "So, did the master ask me to go to the Xia family yard alone, and did he also have a thought to test me?"
I thought so in my heart, but I didn't ask too much. Whether the master really had something important or wanted to test me alone... she would definitely say it directly. She didn't say it, and it was useless to ask it. So I nodded: "Okay Master, then I'll leave early tomorrow morning. Who will I look for when the time comes?"
"Go to the Xia family yard and ask the villagers to go to Xia Dong's house. The village chief originally wanted to talk to me more, but I was too lazy to listen. Just ask who to go there."
She said indifferently. When the master communicated with ordinary people, he always feared trouble. I had no choice but to go to the Xia family yard tomorrow and talk about it. As for the price, I guess she didn't care at all. I can't ignore it! When I arrived at the Xia family yard tomorrow, I asked how much it cost... I chatted with the master for a while about school, and took out the certificate of my first place in the grade. She showed a happy smile on her face and reached out to rub my head. "Yes, Ah Chong. I finally lived up to the hope of being a teacher. I have to continue working hard. As for the same sentence, if you want to go to a higher level in metaphysics and practice, scientific knowledge is also indispensable."
I enjoyed the master touching my head, listening to her praise, and my heart was warm. As for metaphysics, science, and so on... I actually didn't care much. I mainly care about my master's words, and I was afraid that she would not want me as an apprentice because I didn't do it well. "You first took the first place in the grade, as a reward, Master will give you a little thing. This is also something I used when I first started practicing."
After saying that, she turned around and went into the bedroom. She probably went to get something. What?! When I heard it, I became even more excited. There was also a reward! And it was something that the master used when he was young? It must be an amazing magic weapon! I was full of expectations. Soon, the master came out of the bedroom, holding a short wooden box in his hand. She opened the lid and there was a sword inside. The sword seemed to be cast in brass. The overall length was very short, and the sword body was almost as long as two palms. The shape looked quite strange. The front end of the sword tip was oval and not sharp at all. It would definitely be out of sight. The sword edge was also very dull, as if it had never been opened at all. It was definitely not a function of cutting. The sword body was engraved with many talismans, with wide front and narrow back.
The hilt of the sword is also a ring. Seven copper coins are strung in the ring, which can slide along the ring. In short, this short sword is not for normal people at first glance! The master explained to me. "Although this thing looks like a sword, its name is Fadao, and there are also Shidao and Chendao. It is a convenient magic weapon to carry. Whether it is a famous Taoist sect or folk Dharma lineage, it is widely used. This one in the box..." When the master said this, he looked at the short sword in the box, and suddenly showed a look of memories in his eyes. The gaze seemed to have endless vicissitudes. It seemed a bit contrary to her young and beautiful face. "This one is my first magic weapon. Although it seems to be more ordinary now, it should be enough for you to use within three to five years. Pick it up yourself."
As the master said, he handed the box in front of me. I looked at the brass short sword. Then I reached out and picked it up. The touch was a little cold, but it also had a jade-like texture. I waved it gently. The seven copper coins on the hilt of the sword immediately shook, jingling, and the sound was very crisp. It seemed that people could suddenly feel energetic when they came into their ears. They didn't need the user to use their own "qi" to activate it, as if the copper coins themselves contained a mysterious power and Taoist rhyme. "Good magic weapon!"
I couldn't help but sigh, stroking the sword body, and couldn't let go. If I was happy before, it was mainly because this was a magic weapon that my master used. It was of great significance to her. Now, this "Material Sword" itself gave me a great surprise. Holding the hilt of the knife, I could feel an indescribable aura that had been connected with me. I myself felt that with this magic sword in hand, coupled with the improvement of strength during this period, even if I face the previous section alone, I felt that with this magic knife in my hand, coupled with the improvement of my strength during this period, even if I face the previous section alone.
I can barely fight like a vicious corpse like a lady! At least it’s okay to fight for several rounds, right? Even if I can’t beat it, I should be able to run away. The master looked at me as soon as I picked up this magic weapon, and the copper coins on the hilt of the knife were shaking and colliding, and seemed very satisfied. He said with a smile. "I am worthy of being my disciple. This magic knife has recognized you. Ah Chong, use it well. Even if you become very strong in the future, don’t abandon it at will."
"That's for sure! Master, why are you willing to throw away the things you gave me? You must be with you all the time and dare not be separated for a moment."
I chuckled and blurted out. "I'm too polite!"
She pretended to raise her hand to hit me in the head. I quickly ran away with my head and ran away quickly. She ran to the gate of the yard and turned around and shouted, "Master, I'll go home first... I'll go home tomorrow morning... I'll go to the Xia family yard to catch ghosts. You have a good rest!"
I ran home along the village road. It was already 9:30 in the evening. It was not until this time that I had time to sit in the yard and chat with my parents, talk about some interesting things in the school, about teachers and classmates, and they were very happy. Especially my mother, holding my hand and kept saying that there was a college student in our family! I smiled and said that this is where I went, and this is just the first monthly exam in the first year of junior high school. My parents and I kept chatting in the yard until late at night, and then we went back to sleep. In my dream, we naturally went to see this guy Xiaoyuan. He became fat again! Or, it was getting fat all the time. If we didn’t know that it was a jade clawed sea Dongqing, normal people would look like a fat hen at first sight.
