the last witcher

"I also remembered what you said. When these people in the circle got together the year before last, everyone discussed this issue. There should be three spiritual children born across the country. One was born, and the mother had dystocia. , the result was one dead body and two lives; when a family went back to their hometown to visit relatives, there was also a car accident, and none of the three members of the family survived; there was also a soul boy who crashed into the hundred-day pass in Xiao'er 24 after he was born, and went out within a hundred days Then he was possessed by a ghost. Although the ghost was finally cured by an old monk, but because it was sent to the hospital at the beginning, the hospital could not diagnose and treat it. The delay was too long. After the child was rescued, he no longer had any spiritual power. An ordinary child, but it's a good thing, and you don't have to join us in the future." The fourth aunt added.

"Haven't you figured it out yet?" the old Taoist asked the fourth aunt, "Do you mean man-made?" It is us old guys who are carrying this big banner, fighting demons and defending the way everywhere. The current situation is that one of us old guys dies one less, but there are more and more monsters, one ebbs and another. Poor Dao believes that in the war of defending Dao and eliminating demons, we have already lost, not because of ability, but because of lack of successors.” After the old Dao finished speaking, the fourth aunt nodded in agreement, “That’s right, everything is the way of magic. I did it on purpose, but it's a pity that you and I have too much time to take care of ourselves, so how can we have the extra energy to protect these children?" The fourth aunt was telling the truth, and Brother Cao and I couldn't say anything after hearing it. We are talking and communicating, so it is not my turn to intervene with Brother Cao. Compared with others, our qualifications are still low, and this topic is too heavy, at least for me and Brother Cao who have just entered the practice. It will bring more psychological pressure, so the house fell into deathly silence again.

I saw that the atmosphere was too depressing, and I planned to find a lighter topic to let everyone untie the knot, so I said: "Don't be sad, don't be sad, Brother Cao and I are newcomers who just added in, what's worth it?" You are sad."

As soon as I finished speaking, the fourth aunt sighed, and then said: "Tree, do you know why you and I only have the status of master and apprentice, but not the status of master and apprentice?" Reasonable answer, but I had no choice but to shake my head. After the fourth aunt saw me shaking my head, she explained to me: "That's because I don't want you to follow our old path. This is the truth, so when I saw Wang Daoren appreciating you Sometimes, I tried my best to prevent him from accepting you as an apprentice, just because I was afraid that you would enter our business by mistake." Fourth Aunt said helplessly, "But, Fourth Aunt, if you don't want me to enter this industry Okay, why do you want to teach me Zhu Youshu again?" I couldn't understand Si Gu's inconsistent approach.

This time it was the sloppy Taoist who spoke, "Baby, most of the things I teach you are skills for you to protect yourself. Excuse me, it is almost a miracle that you have survived until now, but you do not know it. If you really wanted to take you as a disciple, you would have taken you as a disciple before you were eight years old. Why wait until now? You have to know , It’s too late for you to start learning these things now.” The old Taoist seemed to be distressed.

"It's too late!" The fourth aunt also echoed the sloppy Taoist and said, "Now there are fake monks and Taoist priests all over the world, taking advantage of people's curiosity about our profession, cheating and abducting everywhere, ruining the reputation of our profession. It stinks. Not to mention, if it is effective, it’s okay, often they take money but harm the whole life of others, or even the whole family of others. The current situation in our business. "Nowadays, the babies are all atheists. How many of us are willing to listen to the words of us old guys? When we are really in danger, we start to go to the doctor when we are sick, but we don't know that missed opportunities are as difficult to recover as flooded water." The old man continued. The fourth aunt's words continued.

"The fake monks and Taoists are the ones who commit crimes themselves. I don't care about this, and it's not my turn to worry about it. What I care about most is what do you two mean by saying it's too late?" I still didn't understand what these two people said If it is true, it is a miracle again, and it is too late, what is this all about.

The slovenly Taoist continued to explain to me helplessly, "Just take my Taoism as an example, I need to enter the practice at an early age, from the initial physical fitness, inner strength and mental methods, food tonics, divination and face, acupuncture and massage, and making talismans and paintings. , chanting mantras, opening altars, and subduing demons in the middle period, eliminating demons and defending the way. The ultimate goal is to make good fortune, help the world and save people, increase one's immortal roots, or use folk sayings to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. Of course Among them, some great achievers can seek longevity, and it is not impossible for them to become immortals. Whether it is a poor Taoist or a layman Liu, it is a small business, and it takes years of experience to achieve today's attainments. But you now I am almost 30 years old, and I just started to enter this field. It was too late, my spirituality was not fully discovered, and my state of mind was polluted by the world. The most important thing is that you have too many thoughts and can’t meditate. No matter which sect or sect you need to devote yourself to practice, aside from meditation, you don’t have so much time to learn these things in the secular world. After all, you have already entered the world, so when you say you want to worship me as a teacher, it’s poor Taoism. This is the reason why I rejected it immediately."

When I heard the old Taoist saying that I plan to worship him as my teacher, I kept giving the old Taoist eyes. After all, without the consent of the fourth aunt, I wanted to recognize someone else as my teacher in private. Inappropriate, but the sloppy Taoist continued to talk about him as if he hadn't seen it.When the old Taoist finished speaking, I found that the fourth aunt looked at me not so kindly, mixed with a trace of anger, too!I know that today's dinner has to be done by myself.

Sure enough, when the fourth aunt heard about my apprenticeship, she asked me slightly angrily: "Are you really planning to worship Wang Daoren as a teacher?"

I wipe, don't bring such a play.It's too embarrassing for me. I like the seasoned personality, style, and ability. Therefore, I intend to learn more from him as my teacher. But after all, Sigu is also my master. If Sigu disagrees Well, I'm offending the fourth aunt and the old Taoist at the same time, it's really self-inflicted.

Brother Cao, who had been silent all this time, came out to smooth things over for me at this time, "Si Gu, calm down, you don't know Jia Shu, how poor is his mouth, what's the matter, he's just like that Said, and then he forgot, you must not take it to heart." At the critical moment, you have to be brothers for many years, this rounder is really good, just rushing to Brother Cao to help me like this, I invite you for dinner today!
