Celestial being

"Ah, old shopkeeper, what are you doing? Get up, get up..." Yuan Ming pretended to be surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

However, Lao Yantai stubbornly refused to get up.

"Master Immortal, I have seen it before. You used your immortal magic to turn this golden lump into the stones in the yard." Lao Yandai said while lying on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

When Yuan Ming heard this, he held Old Yantai's arm and froze.

Lao Yandian immediately felt the slight change in him, thinking that he had exposed it, which shocked Yuan Ming.

"Master Immortal, please don't blame me. I didn't mean to offend you. I just saw it accidentally. God knows about this matter. I would never dare to let a third person know about it." He quickly accused again and followed suit. He went lower and his face was already on the ground.

At this time, Yuan Ming let go of the hand supporting him and stood up straight, but did not speak.

The yard suddenly fell into silence. Lao Yandian couldn't see the change in Yuan Ming's expression, and he wasn't sure how he would view himself. For a moment, he felt regretful and annoyed. The sweat on his forehead couldn't help but flow down, forming a small circle around his head. watermark.

Seeing that the pressure was enough, Yuan Ming let out a long sigh.

"Alas, I thought I had avoided people, but you still saw me. It was just my fate. That's all. This piece of gold is just the cost of accommodation. I gave it to you. It's also a settlement for you and me. This fate.”

As soon as Yuan Ming said these words, his image as an outsider was immediately established.

The old smoker's heart trembled suddenly, and he was convinced at this moment.

"Immortal Master, I am not greedy for money, and I dare not ask for gold from the Immortal Master, but I have been yearning for immortal magic since I was a child. I just ask you to be kind and teach me the magic of turning stone into gold. Then I will have no regrets in this life. "He didn't get up, but kowtowed as if pounding garlic, and begged sincerely.

"What is this..." Yuan Ming seemed very embarrassed.

"Master Immortal, please teach me the immortal skills!" Old Yantai's head hit the ground with a "dong dong" sound.

"To be honest, the immortal master who taught me the magic once said that the Midas touch must never be performed in front of outsiders. Once someone sees it inadvertently, a generous reward must be given to clear the cause and effect. If you really want to learn it, , it's not that I can't teach you, it's just..." Yuan Ming saw that the heat was almost done, and then he spoke.

"If you have any requests, Master Immortal, just ask." Seeing the opportunity, Lao Yandai quickly raised his head, moved his kneeling legs a few steps towards Yuan Ming, and said.

"It's not that there are any requirements, it's just that if you want to learn the Midas touch, you need to be penniless and in a difficult situation. Only in this state of mind can you truly understand, otherwise the magic will be difficult to achieve. The so-called Dharma is not taught lightly, That's how it is to rescue people in distress." Yuan Ming put his hands behind his back, stared straight ahead into the void, and said slowly.

The old smoker was stunned when he heard the words. After careful consideration, he actually felt that it made some sense. However, when he thought about the family fortune that he had finally saved, he couldn't help but worry about gains and losses.

"About a year ago, I woke up naked in a cemetery. If I hadn't met the old immortal master who rescued me, I would have died long ago." Yuan Ming continued to make up the story and said with some emotion.

When Lao Yandou, who was lying on the ground, heard this, his heart trembled violently again.

But then, I heard Yuan Ming continue to say: "The old immortal master saw that I was in trouble, penniless, and despairing. He was qualified to practice the Midas Touch. He also sympathized with my situation, so he used this skill. The teachings of the Dharma were given to me. But now that you are living a prosperous life and are unable to experience this state of mind, you naturally cannot learn it."

Seeing that Yuan Ming didn't mention anything more about the cemetery, Lao Yandai felt relieved, but soon he had other thoughts.

"Master Immortal, if I give all my property to others and I am penniless, can I learn?" Lao Yandian raised his head, looked up at Yuan Ming and asked.

"Okay." Yuan Ming nodded.

The old smoker was overjoyed. If he had such a magic, what would his little property be? It's not something you can earn back with just a few clicks of your fingers.

"Then Master Immortal, after learning the Midas touch, will you no longer have to be penniless?" Lao Yandai asked cautiously.

"It's natural. Do you think I look penniless?" Yuan Ming chuckled and asked.

"It's not like that, it's not like that." Old Tobacco said repeatedly.

He was already thinking that if he passed all his property to his son first and then studied law, he would get the best of both worlds and be foolproof.

"But I have to remind you that if you really want to learn the Midas touch, not only you, but also your relatives must not have any property. They must be in a penniless and difficult situation. Otherwise, if the Taoist heart is not strong, your efforts will be in vain. Field." Yuan Ming saw through his little thoughts at a glance and said immediately.

Hearing this, Lao Yandai frowned and hesitated again, his face changing from gloomy to bright.

But soon, he made up his mind, and simply became heartbroken, unwilling to let the child trap the wolf.

"It is not easy for the immortal master to teach me the immortal magic. Since I can't keep any property in my body, I will simply transfer all my wealth to you, the immortal master. I just ask you to teach me the magic of turning stone into gold." Old Yantai kowtowed again.

"Although I am not interested in money, you are sincere and it seems that you are destined to me. After this method is passed on to you, you must also remember not to be seen by outsiders when casting it. In case of being seen, you also need to Just fulfill his wish." Yuan Ming nodded slightly and ordered.

"I will definitely remember it, I will definitely remember it." Lao Yandian was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Get up. Since I have given you permission, I will rest here for another half day. You go and make preparations. When I come back, I will teach you the formula and the key to performing the technique." Yuan Ming said.

"Master Immortal, please wait in the room for a moment." Lao Yandai kowtowed, got up, and hurried to the front yard.

Not long after, Lao Yantai rushed back holding a dark purple wooden box.

As soon as he entered the room, he turned around and closed the door, and immediately placed the rather heavy wooden box on Yuan Ming's table.

"Master Immortal, what is here is all my wealth. I will give it all to you without leaving any part behind." Old Yantai gasped slightly because he was walking in a hurry.

Yuan Ming did not open it, but just touched it casually, and the wooden box disappeared into thin air.

When Old Yantai saw this scene, his pupils couldn't help but dilate.

What's this? This is really a magical skill!

Yuan Ming's expression did not change at all, and he became more and more like a master from this world.

"This is your first try. You must not have any gold, silver or jade on your body. These will cause the spell to fail." After Yuan Ming finished speaking, his eyes glanced at the tobacco rod in Lao Yandian's hand.

"If the immortal master hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot about this." The latter was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said.

As he spoke, he took off the white jade ring hanging on the cigarette rod, removed the red thread wrapped around it, and placed it on the table.

Yuan Ming caressed it casually, and the jade ring disappeared.

"The instructions for performing the technique can only be memorized by heart, not written down. You must memorize them carefully." Yuan Ming glanced at him and said.

When Old Yantai heard this, he nodded quickly.

Yuan Ming thought for a while, then combined the exercises he had seen, compiled a few formulas similar to "The sky is spirited, the earth is spirited" and taught it to Lao Yandai.

Although Old Yantai is old, his memory on this matter is surprisingly good.

Yuan Ming only taught it twice and he remembered it firmly.

"You need to remember that when performing this technique, it must be when the sun rises in the east every day. You must find an open place in the courtyard, step on the steps, sincerely salute the world in all directions, and recite the formula at the same time." Yuan Ming warned. road.

Lao Yandian recalled Yuan Ming circling in the yard in the morning and mumbling something. He suddenly felt enlightened and nodded quickly.

"The first time you cast a spell is particularly important. You must fast and bathe the day before, be penniless, and be sincere. If the first spell fails, it goes against the will of heaven, and it will never succeed again. "Yuan Ming demonstrated the Gang Step method once, and then continued.

Hearing this, Lao Yandai nodded repeatedly, suppressing the excitement and impatience in his heart.

To perform such magic, there should be such complicated rituals, otherwise it would be too much fun.

"Don't eat meat or fish from now on, boil hot water, take a bath in the evening, and wait for the first sun tomorrow. It's almost time, we are done with this world, and we have to hit the road. Take care." Yuan Ming said and stood up. Come.

"Master Immortal, why don't you stay one night and let me entertain you again?" Old Yantai heard this and said quickly.

When Yuan Ming heard this, he suddenly became serious.

"I'm willing to spend half my time teaching you by words and deeds. Why, you don't believe me?" He pretended to be angry.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Lao Yandai kowtowed quickly. Having seen Yuan Ming's magical methods, he really didn't dare, but there was still a hint of uneasiness in his heart.

Yuan Ming had already seen what Lao Yandian was thinking. With a wave of his hand, the purple wooden box appeared out of thin air in front of Lao Yandian.

"If you don't believe it, just keep these belongings. I have fulfilled your wish and settled my karma. There is no burden anymore. You and I can just say goodbye." After Yuan Ming finished speaking, he stood up and left.

"Immortal Master..."

As soon as his hand touched the door, the old smoker's cry came from behind him.

Just listen to his urgent tone: "I dare not disbelieve in the immortal master. Since the immortal master is leaving, I won't force you to stay. Please take these things with you."

Yuan Ming snickered in his heart, but he still had to maintain the masterful look of Gu Jing Wubo on his face.

"Desire leads to greed, jealousy leads to anger, fools lead to madness, only faith leads to success..." He chanted in his mouth, put away the wooden box on the ground, opened the door and rolled up his sleeves and walked out.

"Farewell to the Immortal Master..." Lao Yandian quickly stood up to see him off. At this time, the last trace of worry in his heart was gone.

After Yuan Ming left, Lao Yandai took a bath and cleaned himself up as he was told. He even skipped dinner just in case, just in case. I lay in bed tossing and turning at night. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep well all night. If I could, I would like to pull out the sun right now.
