80s Taoism

"Mother, from now on, if she is unreasonable, don't let her go. Every time you let her, she thinks you are easy to bully. The last time our house lost three ducks, it was obviously because she was unreasonable. I heard the mute tell others that their ducks were trampled to death by him. His mother deliberately came to our house to make a fuss, just to take a few ducks away from our house." Zhang Jiaohua was very dissatisfied with his mother's concession.

"Zai Zai, neighbors, you have to be forgiving and forgiving. There is some truth, you will understand when you grow up." Liu Qiaoye stroked Zhang Jiaohua's head.

"Mother, I know." Zhang Jiaohua actually still didn't know.

Going to school during the day makes it impossible to catch up on sleep as usual. At night, Zhang Jiaohua feels sleepy. He fell asleep directly on the table, and the homework was done.

Liu Qiaoye picked Zai Zai up and said distressedly, "Zai Zai is the first day of school today, he seems very tired."

"Sitting in the classroom, you don't need to carry it on your shoulders or your hand. Why are you tired? My son is so smart, is it because he died in the countryside with a hoe?" Zhang Youping felt that his mother-in-law was too spoiled for the child. Some displeased.

"I didn't say not to let Zai Zai study hard. Zai Zai usually dozes off a lot, and when he goes to school, he can't sleep anymore, so he must be sleepy." Liu Qiaoye pouted, very unhappy.

After Zhang Jiaohua fell asleep, the old Taoist immediately appeared in his dream.

"You have learned 90% of my skills. Now you can finally become a teacher." Hearing these words, Zhang Jiaohua felt as if a big stone had been let go of his heart. Finally got a good night's sleep. No more beatings at night.

"However." The old Taoist immediately gave Zhang Jiaohua another blow, "Before leaving the teacher, the teacher must test your ability."

After unraveling the hexagram of the master, the apprentice must perform the spell in front of the master. The old Taoist took a chopstick and cut it into three pieces, each of which was sharp. The bamboo chopsticks were sharp enough to be used as sharp knives.

"If you eat all these chopsticks into your stomach, you will be able to practice your kung fu, and you will be able to become a teacher to practice incense."

Zhang Jiaohua was like five thunderclaps, is this really a teacher, not a funeral? Although a chopstick has been cut into three sections, but if you want to swallow each section, it may be a dead end, right?

Zhang Jiaohua wanted to yell at the old Taoist priest, but his body was out of his control, he couldn't yell or run away. This body is under the control of others, but it actually honestly picked up a piece of bamboo chopsticks and sent it to the mouth.

"Ball day! I'd better wake up early." Zhang Jiaohua just wanted to wait for all the farce to end and wake up from the dream quickly.

But what surprised Zhang Jiaohua was that after the bamboo chopsticks reached his mouth, it became soft, like a thick vermicelli, slipping down his throat and into his stomach. There was no throat piercing scene as imagined.

At the entrance of the second section, I chewed it in my mouth, rolled it with my tongue, and it became soft, and I ate it like a section of vermicelli. After eating it, I still felt full. The chewiness is pretty good. Well, another one.

The last piece of bamboo chopsticks was also eaten into the mouth, like a delicacy, chewed a few times in the mouth, and swallowed it too.

At this moment, the brothers around him all gave approving glances, and the old Taoist also nodded in satisfaction.

"Disciple, after an accident, to practice incense, one must be virtuous first. Don't talk about colleagues casually, be jealous of colleagues, can't be competitive, and bully colleagues. To see a doctor, you should treat patients with more money, and those who have no money. Time, you can’t be lazy. After leaving the teacher, you have to pay New Year’s greetings to the master every year, and you must be diligent when you visit the master. In the future, you have been a teacher for a hundred years, and you have to come to wear sackcloth and filial piety for the teacher. Come, come, I will explain the hexagram for you.”

The ritual of interpreting hexagrams is the same as asking the gods to refine water. Various sacrificial items such as three animal wine bodies, fragrant tea and fruit, money, paper and horse food have been prepared in advance. In addition, several square boxes have been added. These square boxes are placed under the table.

After Zhang Jiaohua finished refining the water three times, the old Taoist invited all the patriarchs again, and then made two hexagrams, one Yin and one Yang. Zhang Jiaohua was secretly happy, it seemed that the patriarch couldn't see it anymore. This master beat people too hard.

After the old Taoist made the hexagram, he killed a rooster and sprinkled the chicken's blood on the square box of money paper and a scripture that Jiaohua had copied some time ago.

The old Taoist dipped chicken blood on the index finger and middle finger of his right hand and smeared it on Zhang Jiaohua's Yintang acupoint, temple, dikuo, palms, and soles of feet.

After the old Taoist finished solving the hexagrams, Zhang Jiaohua involuntarily knelt down in front of the old Taoist and presented a red envelope with both hands. It contained thirty-three large coins.

The old Taoist priest took the red envelope and laughed loudly, "You will have to walk on your own in the future. Being a teacher can't help you much. This dementing bell has been a teacher for many years, and it is in your hands today."

The old Taoist clearly opened his mouth to call his apprentice's name, but Zhang Jiaohua couldn't understand the name. When the old Taoist said something else, he could hear clearly.

The old Taoist called Zhang Jiaohua into the room, and privately told Zhang Jiaohua how to use the soul-absorbing bell. This is the magic weapon he used to protect his disciples, so naturally he can't let others know the magic method of this soul-destroying bell.

The main purpose of this dementing bell turned out to be to raise ghosts. There are five bells on the soul-absorbing bell, and each bell can collect one ghost, which can be hidden in the bell for nourishment. It is said that Patriarch Meishan once made five ghosts into ghost kings, and he took five ghost kings with him to act as his hands.

However, the old Taoist leader immediately gave Zhang Jiaohua a blow. This dementing bell is not the magic weapon of the ancestor that can be called a fairy weapon, but just a replica. At most, it is to turn ordinary ghosts into ghost soldiers.

Seeing that Zhang Jiaohua seemed a little disappointed, the old Taoist smiled and said, "It's not bad. If you can really raise five ghost soldiers, as long as you don't go into those dangerous places, the world can let you go."

The old Taoist taught Zhang Jiaohua some methods of raising ghosts, "If you raise ghosts in this way, after five years, you can become a ghost soldier. Even if you don't raise ghost soldiers, this ordinary ghost can be summoned at any time to protect yourself in the soul-absorbing bell. It is more than enough to deal with ordinary people."

On this point, Zhang Jiaohua is quite in favor of it, last time they beat that trafficker to the brim.
