low-key warlock

.

Not far from the gate of County No. [-] Middle School, next to a beef pan noodle stall.

Su Chunfeng and Wang Qimin, the old and the young, sat on the low horses and sat at the low long table, eating steaming spicy beef noodles.It's like an old grandfather in the country running to the county to visit his grandson who is in high school regardless of his fatigue. He doesn't have so many words, but his expression is full of kindness and happiness.

Wang Qimin said that he has retired.

I didn't say much else.

After all, this is in a public place, and it is always taboo to talk about Qimen Jianghu and magic techniques.

However, Su Chunfeng knew in his heart that after retirement, Wang Qimin must have come here to accept him as a disciple.Although Su Chunfeng had already made psychological preparations and decisions about this, but seeing Wang Qimin who seemed to be a teenager in just a few days after retirement, he still couldn't help feeling a little sour and sad in his heart.

A day is a teacher for a hundred days.

Even if it is the reincarnation against the sky from the previous life to the present life, the master-student relationship still cannot be truly erased from the heart.

After the meal, Wang Qimin kept insisting that he invited him for today's meal, but in the end Su Chunfeng took the initiative to pay the bill—two bowls of noodles, three yuan.

"Chunfeng, will you walk with me?" Wang Qimin looked at him seriously.

"Of course." Su Chunfeng smiled without hesitation.

The old and the young walked slowly west along Yanwulou Street.

It was noon, and because it was close to Jinzhou County No. [-] High School, the street was bustling with people and cars, and the various small stalls and small restaurants on both sides were full of people eating.

In front of Yanwu Building, turn right and go north along the Kaixuan Road passing through Yanwu Building.After passing the wide doorway of Yanwu Building, it seems that you have suddenly entered another quiet world from the bustling and noisy world-because it is the time for lunch, there are no street stalls on the Kaixuan Road, and there are few pedestrians and vehicles on both sides. The branches and leaves of the already yellowed trees swayed in the slight autumn wind, casting shade and yellow leaves all over the place, making the tranquility of autumn even more apparent.

"Chunfeng." Wang Qimin finally spoke, and said, "You should be able to think of the reason why I'm looking for you."

"En." Su Chunfeng nodded, thoughtfully.

"The teacher didn't lie to you. What he told you about magic techniques is absolutely true." Wang Qimin sighed lightly, and without waiting for Su Chunfeng to say anything, he continued, "It's like something you've all seen at your age." As written in martial arts novels, from ancient times to the present, no one with a unique knowledge would want his unique knowledge to be lost, but he must find a student with excellent aptitude before he is willing to teach him his unique knowledge... And you, you are extremely outstanding among the aptitudes for practicing spells, you can be said to be one in ten thousand, a rare genius!"

Su Chunfeng shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "But, I don't want to be academic."

"You know, what is a spell?" Wang Qimin frowned slightly, looking at Su Chunfeng seriously.

Su Chunfeng was silent for a while, and said: "After I went to high school, I read some classics with such records in the library, but unfortunately there were only a few simple records, just like what you told me before. I think , probably similar to onmyoji, feng shui master, physiognomy masters, and those Yi Xue masters from ancient times to the present?"

"It seems that you still care about it." Wang Qimin was quite relieved, and said, "Actually, what I want to teach you is many times more powerful and mysterious than the techniques mastered by those eternally famous masters in the book!"

"I don't want to learn." Su Chunfeng said: "It is recorded in the book that anyone who practices this kind of metaphysics will hardly escape the fate of 'five disadvantages and three deficiencies'."

"That's nonsense." Wang Qimin vowed.

"Really?" Su Chunfeng looked at Wang Qimin with a smile, and said after a moment of consideration: "Mr. Wang, when I was studying in Dongwangzhuang Township Middle School, I also heard about some things about you. You really suffered a lot. and torture, and later the separation of your wife and children... Now that you have retired, you are in your sixtieth year, but you don't even have a family. Those recorded, you say, is this just a coincidence?"

"This..." Wang Qimin was speechless for a moment.

Su Chunfeng continued: "I also heard that there is an old immortal named Cheng in Jinzhou County, known as Tie Gua Immortal, who is said to be able to draw talismans to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, and to divination the fate of the universe. It was because he saw through the secrets many times that he was finally punished by the heavens, destroying his eyes and making him unable to see."

"Chunfeng, don't listen to those rumors..." Wang Qimin was shocked. He didn't expect that Su Chunfeng, who was only 16 years old, would be so cautious.However, it can also be seen from the side that after listening to his words, Su Chunfeng became very interested in magic techniques.

"That Gong Hu who went to school last time." Su Chunfeng smiled, and said, "It happens that I have relatives in Xishan County. Delicious and lazy, even the fields at home are ruined, so poor..."

"It's because of his high talent, that's why..." Wang Qimin said hastily.

Su Chunfeng smiled bitterly: "Then my talent is so high, you let me live like this in the future?"

"No, no." Wang Qimin lost his footing. He was originally not good at talking, but under Su Chunfeng's articulate and clear-thinking narration, he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

"Teacher Wang..." Su Chunfeng said earnestly: "You think highly of me, praise me, and want to accept me as an apprentice several times to pass on my unique knowledge. Mysterious spells, but I feel that this kind of thing is similar to superstition. Believe it or learn it. Please go to the gods. It’s nothing to say, it’s all about believing in a good person. I think there are many such people in Dongwangzhuang Village, right? So you should know that they burn incense and kowtow to worship temples on weekdays to petition and repay their wishes. Believe me, then you should do more good deeds and do good deeds, right? But look, think about it, in daily life, why do such people do some bad things like bastards?"

In fact, the feudal superstition activities that are very common in rural areas have nothing to do with the magic of the Qimen rivers and lakes.But since Su Chunfeng didn't talk much on weekdays, but today he said it out of his mouth full of lotus flowers, and what he said before, it seemed that he was really twisted together unreasonably.

Now, Wang Qimin was even more speechless.

"Of course I know that you are a well-known good old man, and I also know that maybe the sorcerer you said who practiced strange arts would not do these things, but..." Su Chunfeng sighed, and said: "If you really understand, then I don’t think there are too many people who know this, right? Ordinary people will only think it is a feudal superstition, and they will think of the witches and gods in the countryside. Think about it, if I really have to follow you to practice magic arts and waste my studies, my father and mother What will you think? What will the people in our village, relatives and friends, think of me and my family?"

After these words were finished, Su Chunfeng stopped talking, and his expression was worried and helpless with a trace of apology.

Wang Qimin didn't speak either.

The old and the young went north along Kaixuan Road, walking silently in the bleak autumn wind.

It wasn't until he saw the gate of Jinzhou County No. [-] High School in the distance that Wang Qimin stopped and said kindly: "Chunfeng, you are a very smart, mature, and thoughtful child, and the teacher will never come here again." I force you to practice spells. However, I hope you can promise the teacher one thing..."

"Tell me." Su Chunfeng suddenly felt a little guilty.

"Don't spread the things I told you, and please keep my Warlock identity a secret."

"Don't worry." Su Chunfeng nodded solemnly.

Wang Qimin said with a little worry and reluctance: "Chunfeng, your aptitude is too good, and the world is very big, so when you go to a wider world in the future, it is inevitable that you will meet people from strange families who want to accept you." You are an apprentice, if you change your mind and want to practice magic at that time, remember not to promise others, come to me... Also, when you really meet a strange magician one day in the future, you must be more careful ah."

"En." Su Chunfeng was moved, his eyes were moist: "Thank you."

"Okay, you can go back..." Wang Qimin waved his hand, his expression slightly relaxed, as if he was relieved because although he got an unsatisfactory result, he was no longer as entangled and helpless as before.

Su Chunfeng sighed lightly, and said seriously: "Mr. Wang, if you encounter any difficulties in the future and need help, just call me!"

"it is good."

"Goodbye!" Su Chunfeng turned around and strode away.

"Goodbye!" Wang Qimin looked gently and reluctantly at the extremely talented and rare magician genius, just drifting away, and then sighed softly: "It's a pity."——He knew, The optimal number of years for practicing spells cannot be exceeded. Once that age is passed, the bones are basically formed, and any child with good talent already has a relatively sound and mature mind. A higher realm.

Seeing that Su Chunfeng's back became blurred in the distance, Wang Qimin turned and left.

When he came from home, he had already thought about it. If he couldn't take Su Chunfeng as his apprentice during this trip, he would go home and pack up his things, and take the train to Shuchuan, Southern Xinjiang and other places to travel around, hoping to find someone with excellent qualifications , accepted as an apprentice.

Tricks cannot be lost in his hands.

At this time, Su Chunfeng also felt sorry for him.

Maybe in this life, there will be no contact with Wang Qimin because of this-the master and apprentice in the previous life, but the stranger in this life.

However, Su Chunfeng never thought of what he said to Wang Qimin earlier, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future and need help, just come to me."

Unexpectedly, a word became a prophecy!
