Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 42 Here Comes the Ghost

I looked at Master in a daze. I thought that Master would teach me those miraculous spells directly, but instead, Master told me a lot of Taoist metaphysics. As Zu said to Monkey King, he said, "Disciple, what do you want to learn?"

Seeing the look in my eyes, Master stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "Although our lineage inherited the technique of exorcising demons and subduing ghosts handed down by Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, but at the same time, because we are different from Taoism, The combination of school techniques has derived many different branches. For example, your senior sister is majoring in a branch derived from the medical branch, and we have dabbled in other schools. If you want to learn, I can also teach you .”

I saw that there seemed to be a hint of deep meaning in the master's eyes, and I couldn't help but think that many masters would conduct some tests when teaching students in TV dramas.

I thought to myself, our lineage of Xuanyuan Palace originated from the secret technique of exorcising demons and subduing ghosts handed down by the Yellow Emperor obtained by Taoist Taishan. Complementing the Yellow Emperor's secret art, so although our school has derived various branches because of the combination of a hundred schools of Taoism, in the final analysis, these branches serve for the Yellow Emperor's secret art, even if it is a seemingly unrelated fate. I am afraid that even if I learn it, I will not achieve much. For example, the master himself can pinch his fingers, calculate and divination, but it is not necessary to seek the help of old man Li at the beginning. It can be seen that our school's attainments in the three veins of fate, physiognomy, and divination are not deep.

Although the three veins of fate, astrology, and divination sound very powerful, measuring good and bad people, seeking good fortune and avoiding harm, are close to the skills of gods, but as the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. The strongest of our school is the Yellow Emperor The spells left behind, the spells derived from the combination of the mountain range, and the technique of driving away ghosts and gods, thinking of the five-fanged ghosts that Master recruited, and the three-headed ghosts he released in Fulong Temple, My heart felt a little hot.

"Master, I want to learn the magic technique left by the ancestor of the Yellow Emperor and the art of exorcising ghosts and conquering demons in the mountains!" I raised my head, looked at Master, and said firmly.

I saw a flash of light in Master's eyes, and he looked at me with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and nodded.

……

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by.

In the next few years, I learned some spells with my master in Mount Qingcheng, and at the same time, according to my parents' wishes, I went to a school at the foot of the mountain.

This seems to be a deal made between my father and master when we were in Tsingyi Village. The master accepted me as a disciple to pass on his orthodoxy, and at the same time ensured that I could go to school like other children here in Dujiangyan.

In the eyes of my parents' generation, going to school seems to be the way out for every child. It is always good for a doll to read more books. Even if I learned some powerful spells from my master, in my mother's eyes, this After all, it is not as legitimate as going to school to study and get admitted to university.

So, in the following days, I got up from the bed every day before dawn, practiced the boxing skills taught by my master in the courtyard, packed my things, and walked down the steps of Qingcheng Mountain to the school at the foot of the mountain. .Speaking of this, I have to say that the body training potion and the body training plan that Master brewed for me at the very beginning are indeed very useful. Now I start from the Taoist temple and run to the bottom of Qingcheng Mountain in less time. For an hour, it can be said that he walked like flying, and he was refreshed when he arrived at the destination, and he didn't even take a breath.

You must know that when I went down the mountain for the first time, it took me a full two hours. The progress in this process is not insignificant. Now I feel like a little tiger full of strength. Like the rising sun.

The days passed day by day, maybe because I experienced too many unimaginable facts, I couldn't play with those children in the school, and I could see what those children were playing. I always feel that they are a little naive, so in school, I seem a little withdrawn.Reading and going to school is more like a mechanized thing I do on time every day in my life, and I don't experience the joy of going to school that others say.

Contrary to going to school, I lived a very happy life in the Qingcheng Mountain Taoist Temple. At the beginning, Master would teach me some Taoist metaphysical knowledge every day. Later, Master saw that I had almost mastered these most basic things. , he began to teach me some simple tricks.

I remember that what Master first taught me was to use spells to control a little rabbit caught from the mountain. When I first saw that wild rabbit constantly doing various movements under the changes of my handprints, my heart was full of emotions. I want to explode with joy and control animals. I have seen such an ability in Wuwei before. At that time, I saw him put a spell on the yellow-haired fox, and he could easily determine the fox's actions by chanting the spell. And life and death, at that time my heart was simply extremely envious.

Now when I can control a life through spells and handprints, the excitement in my heart has reached an unbelievable level. The handprints are constantly changing, controlling the hare in front of me to do various difficult movements, It made me laugh out loud.

Just when I was manipulating the hare to laugh happily, a white and tender little hand reached out, and she tore off the spell on the hare's forehead, hugged the hare with two small hands, and gently stroked the hare's hair.

I froze for a moment, and saw that the person in front of me was actually my senior sister Mu Yueting.She hugged the hare in her arms, and the rabbit instantly calmed down, lying quietly on her hand.

"Is this the purpose of your learning Taoism? To enjoy the pleasure of manipulating life?" Mu Yueting held the hare in her arms, staring at me coldly with her two beautiful eyes, her face was as cold as a piece of ice.

I was so choked that I couldn't speak. To be honest, my feelings towards Mu Yueting, a senior sister, are somewhat complicated, including some fear and a little closeness.

Although she has a cold face in front of me all day long, I know that her heart is not as cold as she appears on the surface.I remember that one afternoon not long ago, I was tired from practicing some martial arts taught by my master in the courtyard, so I fell asleep lying on a big chair by the door. At that time, Master had already gone to chat with his old friends in the Qingcheng Dao School in Qianshan, and Mu Yueting and I were the only ones in the whole Taoist temple.So who put the quilt on me, the answer is naturally very clear.

And since then, I have discovered that Mu Yueting is not as cold as she appears on the surface, but deep in her heart, there is still a warmth.

What surprised me the most was that Mu Yueting was different from me and Master. She only ate vegetarian food and fruits for three meals a day. I had never seen her prescribe meat.You must know that family is different from Buddhism, and it is not too taboo for things like meat and wine. Among them, Quanzhen Dao and Zhengyi, the largest Taoist sects, are mentioned.

The Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Tao live a clean life, only eat vegetarian food, and cannot marry and have children, while the other major sect is Zhengyi, that is, the disciples of the Tianshi Taoism handed down by the ancestor Tianshi, they do not abstain from meat and meat, and they can even get married Having children is no different from people in the secular world.And the rest of the casual cultivators have their own rules, but most of them don't have much requirements for meat and marriage.

People like us who have a relationship with Taoism and do not belong to the orthodox Taoist inheritance have no scruples about these. Eat meat if you should eat meat, and get married if you should get married, otherwise my parents would not have let me worship as a master. Under the sect of the family, passing on the family line has been a concept of secular people since ancient times.

I remember when I saw Master gnawing on the chicken legs, while Mu Yueting was eating vegetarian dishes in small bites, I asked Master strangely, why senior sister doesn’t eat meat, and Master smiled and said to me; Senior Sister is different from us, she is vegetarian."

At that time, I nodded my head half understanding, but later I found out that Mu Yueting not only does not eat meat, but also is surprisingly good at some small animals. Ting clearly possessed Fulongcao, the nemesis of dragons and snakes, but let Bai Fei go and let him go. Is this because she has a kind heart?
"Senior Sister, I..." I felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Mu Yueting, and wanted to explain, but I didn't expect Mu Yueting to not listen at all. She gave me a cold look and hugged the hare Turn around and leave.

Since this incident, I may have been influenced by Mu Yueting. When practicing some manipulative spells, I have been more careful and will try to avoid appearing in front of Mu Yueting.

I was almost done practicing spells such as manipulating animals, so I started pestering my master, asking him to teach me some spells to recruit ghosts and gods, but my master refused my request every time.He said, I am still young, and children have weak yang energy. If I accidentally recruit those powerful and evil ghosts, then I am afraid I will be backlashed by the ghosts. After all, children have weak bones and insufficient yang energy. It is easy to be caught or even killed by those ghosts.Moreover, I carry a huge amount of luck on my body, which is a favorite for some evil spirits.

The master said, let me wait a little longer, and when I grow up a bit more, and the yang energy in my body is enough, he will teach me some spells to use ghosts and gods.

As for me, it was a full six years. Until I was 16 years old, my body had grown to the size of an adult, and was even much stronger than an ordinary big man.

That day, Master called me to him, and he said that I could learn the spell of summoning ghosts with him.I suddenly felt very excited. After waiting for six years, I can finally start learning. That kind of mood just wants to fly to the sky.

Master said that it was my first time summoning a ghost, so let me first summon an ordinary ghost, that is, the kind of ordinary ghost that is basically harmless to humans, and then gradually recruit more powerful ghosts step by step.

Following the method taught by my master, after making a series of preparations, I began to chant the mantra for summoning ordinary ghosts:

The Heavenly Monarch's method of service is mysterious and dark!
The ghost is gone, follow my orders!
The moment I finished chanting the incantation, a strong wind blew up, and I felt a mass of black air rushing in. The black mist filled the air, covering the surrounding fields, and I felt goosebumps crawling up on my body. There was a cold and creepy laughter in the black mist: "Hehe..."

I widened my eyes, and saw a figure in a red wedding dress slowly walking out of the black mist...
