Chapter 28 Wood Dun
After hearing what Xiang Feng said, I almost bit off my tongue. You must know that invisibility is a magic spell in myths and legends, which is only found in "The Investiture of the Gods". Master told us before that although there are records of invisibility in the half-remembered book, the first words of the practice method are not answered later.
"Really...really or false?" I couldn't speak well.
"real!"
Xiang Feng has always liked to be cool. He is as excited as me, but he is forced to calm down on the surface.
"Is the master in the forest?"
The forest was dense and there were fallen leaves everywhere. Because of the cloudy day, I looked dark from outside and didn't see my master. When I was about to walk into the forest, I was pulled by Xiangfeng.
"Don't go in..."
Xiang Feng said that what Master learned was the wood escape in the Five Elements Hiding Method. Because of the first time he used it, he was unsure. Before I came, the master first cast the spell to drive away all the living creatures in the forest to avoid harming them. Then he ordered Xiang Feng to wait outside the forest. Without his summoning, we would not allow us to enter the forest.
"Will the master be in danger?"
I couldn't help but feel sweaty, shook my head in the wind, and said he didn't know either.
The sky became more and more cloudy, and there was not even a trace of wind. The forest was so quiet. Xiangfeng and I waited for half an hour, and finally heard the voice of our master coming from the depths of the forest, calling us to go in.
Stepping on the soft fallen leaves layer, I came to a thick sycamore tree in the middle. I vaguely felt the master's aura and Xiang Feng also felt it. The two stopped and looked around, but didn't see where the master was.
"Master, are you here?"
As soon as I finished calling, I heard the voice of my master coming from the tree, "I'm here."
I was startled and took a step back involuntarily. Then I slowly stepped forward with Xiang Feng, and the blind man stretched out his hand like an elephant, touching the tree body, and was extremely surprised. Could it be that the master had penetrated into the tree body?
Suddenly, my eyes blurred, and the master appeared in front of us as if he had emerged from the ground, with a talisman paper on his chest, looking at us with a smile.
"Master, you..."
"I've always been here." The master smiled and said, "Watching you two come over, you just can't see me..."
Master told us that this is Wood Diversion, which is actually just a trick.
Wood escape is a kind of five elements hiding technique that Master learned from the invisible hiding technique. Master said that in the texts about the invisible hiding technique hidden a mantra, called the "Five Ghosts Movement Mantra". When using Wood escape, you must stand on the back of the tree with your back against the tree. After standing firmly, stick a talisman on your chest. While reciting the Jade Girl's Reverse Closer, you can draw four horizontal lines with your sword fingers to your chest.
Draw the Five Paths. After drawing, you will be introverted and think that you and the tree are integrated into one. Then silently recite the "Five Ghosts Carrying Curse". The "wood ghosts" among the five ghosts will carry people into the tree. In fact, to put it bluntly, the light reflected on the human body is absorbed by the tree, making others unable to see it, and it feels like they are invisible. What the wooden ghosts "carry" is just the light reflected on the human body. As long as the back leaves the tree, the wood escape will be broken.
Xiang Feng and I stared at each other with big eyes. The master said that wood escape is not just for stealth and hiding. When the wood escape practice reaches the highest level, people can rely on the "Five Ghosts Movement Method" to move from this tree to that tree at will, and change shapes and positions between trees. As for the other four types of the Five Elements Hiding Technique, the master has not yet understood it. In fact, if you use the wood escape, you don’t have to get any tree in the woods. The master is not sure about it for the first time. This forest is relatively secluded, so he chose this place.
The "Five Ghosts Carrying Mantra" was extremely tangled and took a lot of effort. Xiang Feng and I barely remembered it. The master said that we should do it in one go when casting spells. Don't easily cast Wood escape before you can't remember the spells, otherwise there may be serious consequences. The master didn't know what the specific consequences were. I couldn't wait to try it out, but after hearing what the master said, I had to give up my thoughts.
It was already evening when I returned to the town. Miss Bai bought ingredients and made a large table of dishes. Yang Shujun couldn't wait to start eating. His master didn't ask about Ms. Bai and made a room to let her live in it.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather began to get colder. The corn in the farmland had been harvested. When I left the town, I looked around and the fields were empty. Miss Bai was not in a hurry to go back to the city. No one ordered paper work during this period, nor did anyone come to us to see Feng Shui. The master went to the backyard to retreat and recuperate. Yang Shujun made a pot of tea every day and sat under the eaves listening to the little songs. Xiaotutu fell in love with Xiang Feng, which means that because Xiang Feng was handsome, it was impossible for the charlatan liar. The one in Boss Yan's factory, but now he has resigned. When he found out about our address, he ran over to find Xiang Feng every few days. Xiang Feng hid out early in the morning. In this way, I was gloating every day.
Every day when I have nothing to do, Miss Bai asked me to take her around to play, just to walk around the river bank and stroll around the fields. Breathing the refreshing and cool air in the fields, the two of them talked and laughed, chased and fought, which was a different kind of fun.
On this day, while we were chasing me in the field, a hare jumped out of the hole. The two of them immediately turned to the rabbit, but unfortunately the rabbit ran too fast. After chasing, they collapsed and fell to the ground but still couldn't catch it. Miss Bai said, "If Xiao Hei was there, it would be better." When she mentioned Xiao Hei, I suddenly thought that there was nothing to do now, so it would be better to bring Xiao Hei over and catch the hare to play. The two hit it off and drove over early the next morning, changed to an off-road vehicle and brought Xiao Hei over. It was so fun to catch a hare, and naturally Yang Shujun was indispensable. Following the dog, he ran and shouted.
There are not many hares in the fields in Fengyang Town, and I haven't caught a few days later. Yang Shujun suggested that we just take the dog and drive on a self-driving tour. Miss Bai and I agreed happily. We took food and drinks, and decided on the route. For safety reasons, I also brought the bag of magic weapons to the wilderness. It is difficult to guarantee that we would not encounter any unclean things. The master was in seclusion, and Xiang Feng was not interested in playing, so there were only three of us, and Miss Bai's dog.
As we headed south, there were endless empty fields on both sides, and from time to time, old trees were seen dotted among the fields. Not long after, I drove onto a dirt road and drove south for about an hour and a half. As we walked more and more, we went further and further, we passed a dense forest, and a wilderness appeared in front of us. The dead grass was as deep as our waist. I thought to myself, there must be a hare here. As soon as I parked the car and opened the door, Xiao Hei jumped down from the car and plunged into the weeds. After a while, he picked up a fat hare.
The end of the wilderness looked like a river bank, and there were many trees picking, so we decided to go there to roast rabbits. Miss Bai was afraid of snakes in the grass, so she hesitated and dared not to walk over, so I carried her over.
When I came there, I saw that it was indeed a river embankment. The river channel was quite wide, but the river water was very narrow and shallow, and it looked like a stream in the middle of the river channel. There was a road on the other side of the river, and it looked very quiet under the shade of trees.
Yang Shujun washed the rabbit clean, and Miss Bai and I picked up dry firewood and roasted it on the embankment. The smoke mixed with the fragrance of rabbit meat spread and was blown by the wind and floated to the other side of the river. Yang Shujun couldn't wait to stare at the rabbit and swallow his saliva.
Suddenly, Xiao Hei, who had been lying quietly beside him, screamed, and then, I heard the sound of "swish" water coming from the river below. I hurriedly looked over and saw a disheveled man wearing a ragged clothes, wading through the river water, and staggering towards the river embankment.
When he was close, he saw that this man should be a lunatic, about forties, with a beard, knotted hair, and his clothes were covered with mud, thorns and grass. As the man slid three times in one step, Xiao Hei yelled at him unfriendly.
"Little Hei!"
Miss Bai made a gesture, and the dog was grunted and rubbed against me as if it was wronged. Yang Shujun said 'hey' and said that this dog was so smart that he knew that it was better to flatter his master than to flatter his master's boyfriend. I touched Xiao Hei's head, and it immediately shook its tail happily and licked the back of my hand intimately.
At this time, the madman had already arrived on the dike, looked at us, smirked "hehe" and reached out to grab the rabbit on the shelf.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" Yang Shujun patted the back of his hand.
"Eat...I want to eat..." the madman said indecisively.
Seeing that the madman was pitiful, Miss Bai took out a loaf of bread from our bag and gave it to him. The madman smiled and squatted on the ground and started eating. Suddenly, I smelled a faint stench, as if something was rotting. I could tell it carefully that the stench came from the madman.
Yang Shujun and Miss Bai also smelled it. At this time, the rabbit was roasted, but the three of them lost their appetite. Yang Shujun sighed and said, forget it, this man is very pitiful, give him the rabbit to eat. Yang Shujun pulled the roasted rabbit off the branch and handed it to the madman.
The madman's eyes lit up, and he threw the bread, grabbed the rabbit and chewed it. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. He swallowed the rabbit meat in his mouth with difficulty, wiped his mouth, and smirked, and said vaguely, "You care about me and I care about you eating meat, and I care about you eating meat too..." As he said that, he reached into his arms, touched it for a while, took out a hand, and handed it to Yang Shujun."
It was a woman's hand, with long nails, and the color of her whole hand was black, emitting a wave of rotten smell. The three of us were stunned at first, and then we retching at the same time.
Finally, I stopped the disgust. I asked the madman about the source of the man's hand. The madman pointed to the other side and said that it was picked up by him.
