It's not easy being a master

For a whole afternoon, half of the Book of Mountains and Seas was poured into Shi Yi'an's brain, and those obscure and difficult sentences wandered in his brain one by one, and when they had dinner at night, those words were sublimated It became all kinds of strange ancient creatures, those birds and beasts with three heads and six arms, these birds and beasts were jumping around in his brain, and the bird feathers were flying around.

"My poor nephew must have been tortured by his wooden uncle today, and his eyes are dull." The uncle came in comfortably with a fan, and sat on the seat next to Shi Yi'an.

"I can't speak now, I'm afraid that if I speak, the strange birds and beasts in my mind will come out of my mouth." Shi Yi'an swallowed the last mouthful of food, and said slowly.

The uncle closed the fan with a snap, and notified with a smile: "I will teach you tomorrow instead."

.

.

After dinner, Shi Yi'an went back to Siwei Residence, while Yun Mo was repairing the wooden windows on the side room.

"Yun Mo, how long have you been here." Shi Yi'an watched as he took off the window paper that had been torn, and glued the new window paper on it with ease.

"I count it relatively late. It was built around the time of Emperor Shenzong. The teacher's family has never been prosperous. Although the house occupies a large area, there are not many yards." Yun Mo said while repairing.

"..." Regarding the content of Yun Mo's answer, Shi Yi'an didn't understand a single sentence, including every punctuation mark.The time when he came to Shi's house has nothing to do with the size of the Shi's house, and who is the emperor of Shenzong? It should belong to the Ming Dynasty.It turns out that this is the feeling of being unknown in the legend.

"I heard the voice of a girl here yesterday, do they live nearby?" Shi Yi'an asked.

Yun Mo stopped what he was doing, thought carefully and said: "No, there is only one woman in the house, Miss Sun, but she is not in the house recently."

"I'm not asking about women, I'm talking about children, about four or five years old, about this tall." Shi Yi'an gestured on his thigh.He had just seen a few of these little girls when he was returning to Siwei Residence, and before he could walk past them, they scattered and ran away in fright.Let Shi Yi'an, who always thought that he was pretty good-looking, be hit hard.

"Oh, you said they are just peach blossom essences who have just cultivated human form." Yun Mo's tone seemed to be saying to Shi Yi'an, yes, the ones on the plate were just a few steamed buns, so relaxed.

"Peach Blossom Essence?" Well, it is said that they are a family of celestial masters that has existed for thousands of years. Now that they have Peach Blossom Essence, it seems that the script is right.However, Shi Yi'an stared at Yun Mo and said, "You are also a fairy."

Yun Mo continued to glue the window paper, and said in a relaxed tone: "I am not."

Hearing Yun Mo's negative reply, Shi Yi'an breathed a sigh of relief, but he was only half relieved before hearing Yun Mo continue to say, "I am Fang Ling."

"Fang Ling?"

"Fang Ling is the soul of a house." Yun Mo pressed the last piece of window paper onto it and smoothed it out with a tool.From Shi Yi'an's point of view, Yun Mo's movements of sticking paper to the window are gentle, just like those women are applying skin care products to their skin.

"..." Shi Yi'an returned to the house like a ghost, and secretly made up his mind that he must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise he would become crazy.

In the early morning of the second day, just as there was a faint light in the sky, Shi Yi'an slipped out of the Siwei residence quietly. The small roller under the suitcase was beating on the gravel road in the peach blossom forest, making the noise of Caracalla. It was very obvious in the morning.

All the way out of Siwei Residence, he didn't meet anyone, until he came to the gate, he saw a bald, black and thin old man sitting beside the gate.The old man sat on the chair behind the door and dozed off with his head down, wearing a vest with an invisible background.When Shi Yi'an dragged the box and approached, his heart beat inexplicably.The old man raised his head when he heard the movement.

The old man's left eye does not have an eyeball, but a bloody hole, this hole runs through the entire skull, and it is possible to see the glimmer of light penetrating from the back of the head.Seeing Shi Yi'an, the old man grinned and asked obediently: "Young Master Sun is going out so early?"

"En." Shi Yi'an was still staring at the blood hole in a daze.The gurgling blood flowed out of the blood hole, and the old man wiped it off without hesitation.Seeing his skillful movements, Shi Yi'an felt his throat itch.

The old man tremblingly pulled the latch, opened the door, and asked if he needed help with the luggage.Shi Yi'an declined the other party's kindness, he was afraid of splashing blood.

Just before carrying the luggage through the door, Shi Yi'an was stunned by the scene in front of him. Outside the door was a lush forest, densely packed with leaves covering the way, and the two stone wolf gods in front of the door were also climbed away. The ivy on the road is full of ivy, and it is no longer as heroic as before.

"This is called Qimen Dunjia Technique." Uncle's voice sounded from behind him, he changed into a light green half-sleeved shirt today, and compared to usual, he was less frivolous than usual.

"It means I can't run away." Shi Yi'an turned his head and asked.

"Once you learn how to break the formation, this little trick won't be able to trap you. In fact, you may find a job at any time, but there are not many opportunities to explore the unknown world." The uncle said smoothly Taking the suitcase from Shi Yi'an's hand, he snapped his fingers to summon a cloud of black mist, and ordered the black shadow to send Shi Yi'an's things back to Siwei Residence.After going through so much, Shi Yi'an has calmed down, he knows that nothing is impossible in this house.If an alien comes here now, he will definitely smile and say hello to him.

"How do you know I'm here?" Shi Yi'an asked, he didn't see anyone else along the way, and it's not likely that someone else tipped the news.

The younger uncle put his arm on Shi Yi'an's shoulder and played with his fingers in an unscrupulous way, and said absent-mindedly: "If I said that it was calculated, a scientific defender like you would definitely not believe it, so you should just pretend to be me." I guess."

"What was that cloud of black mist just now?" Shi Yi'an asked.

"My guardian, but Dahei's attack power is low, so he can only be summoned to do some errands at ordinary times." While speaking, the uncle found another guardian, a burly and strong man in golden armor. A monster with four hooves and two heads, with red eyes.Shi Yi'an stood near the two-headed monster, so close that he could smell the mixture of stomach acid and rotting food in its mouth.Choked by the smell, he staggered back two steps.Asked: "What can I learn to have this?"

"Every family member who can become a teacher can go to the ancestral hall to find his own guardian." The uncle took the monster back.

"Just to choose a guardian you like?" Shi Yi'an asked, at least he has some interest now.

"Essentially speaking, it should be the guardian who chose you, and not every family member who can be independent has a guardian. In your generation, Shi Yixing does not have one. Okay, now is not the time to discuss guardianship, although your qualifications Very good, but it is not possible to become a teacher in a short time."

While the two were talking, they had already returned to the study of Siweiju. The uncle found a book from the many books in Siweiju at once.

……

"I'll go, whose children learn this kind of thing."

"All the direct and collateral branches of the teacher's family can learn, but the difference is that the effect of using it is different with different aptitude." The uncle took out a stack of talisman papers and continued: "Try it, it won't be better than those organic chemical molecules in your university." Difficult to draw."

With black lines all over his face, Shi Yi'an picked the simplest one to try, and drew it like a primary school student tracing a picture.

"It's from the town house, but the drawing is very poor." The uncle glanced at the yellow talisman on the table, then reached out and punched the talisman paper into the wall next to it.

"The first advice I want to say is that your level determines the ability of your talisman paper. If you forcefully use a talisman paper that does not match your ability, it is very likely that you will be backlashed."

"According to the color of the paper, the talisman papers are blue, yellow, pink, green, red and other colors. The darker the color, the higher the spell required. However, talisman papers of several colors other than yellow talisman paper are now rare. As for The pigments used for drawing talismans, such as cinnabar and chicken blood, are more commonly used, and the principle of use is to use whatever is on hand."

"..."

"However, it is said that the master of the first generation can use Taoism to write talisman paper, but it is only heard. I have never seen anyone else able to do so."

While listening to his uncle, Shi Yi'an was drawing on the last piece of very complicated talisman paper, but he didn't know which stroke was wrong, and suddenly the whole talisman paper ignited. That kind is completely different, the burning talisman paper quickly ignited other things on the table, and once the fire touched all the things, they immediately burned to ashes, the ferocious tongue of fire licked Shi Yi'an's clothes, Shi Yi'an got up He took a step back, ready to find something to put out the fire.The uncle grabbed a strip of blue talisman out of thin air with five fingers, and shouted "Mie".

The flame on the table seemed to be wrapped by some invisible thing, slowly shrunk towards the middle, and went out with a puff, leaving only ashes on the table, and only half of the burned book "Introduction to Children's Drawing Talismans".

"Yun Mo, please tidy up here, let's go to the bookstore and find another book that draws symbols." The uncle glanced at the burnt table with lingering fear, clasped his hands to Yun Mo who was standing at the door with a dark face, and did A please move.

Yun Mo had already sensed the moment the talisman paper caught fire, and any disturbance in this Siwei residence could not escape his feeling.These two prodigal sons were burning tables to play in the study, so he naturally found out.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Shi Yi'an really didn't expect that the drawing talisman could actually cause a fire, it seems that he should pay attention to it in the future.

The two of them left the Siwei residence all the way, passed by the peach blossom forest, passed by the yard where the uncle lived, the uncle was talking with a tall and stout woman at the door, when they saw the two passing by, they said good morning.

"What did you say early in the morning?" the uncle asked.

"The third one hasn't come back until now. I'm afraid something will happen to him, so I asked Wenxiu to take a look." The uncle explained.

After hearing this, the uncle chuckled and said, "What can happen? I think you can rest assured at the level of the third child, but let Wenxiu go and see, maybe it can be of some help."

The uncle nodded and sent the tall and strong woman away.

"Who is that Wenxiu?"

"It's the uncle's guardian." The uncle explained, and then went on to say: "Although Wenxiu is big and rough, she is fast enough and careful in doing things."

"Can the guardian be a human?"

"To be precise, the guardian can't be a human, but only looks like a human." The uncle opened the door of the bookstore, and was choked by the dust that hit his face, making him cough.Covering his nose, he said, "Ahem, I'll go find you a book of symbols, and you can see for yourself what books you like. Ahem, take whatever you want."

This bookstore can be seen at a glance that no one has used it for many years. There is a thick pile of dust on all kinds of books, and it chokes the nose when it is moved.Shi Yi'an took out a book that looked fairly clean, and shook the dust on the cover. These books were nothing more than "Book of Changes" and "Ziwei Doushu", which Shi Yi'an had no interest in. .

The only book that aroused his interest was an ancient erotic book shop, but due to the age, these books were not well taken care of, and the books left in the corner were damp and many pages were stuck together.While rubbing his nose, Shi Yi'an took out several damp and moldy books from the bottom shelf.Find a dry place to put it.

One of them has been in this place for an unknown amount of time, and green hairs have grown on the cover.

Barely recognized a word "hand" on the cover, but because the cover was too disgusting, Shi Yi'an put the book on the table by the window.Never mind.

A little later, the uncle asked Shi Yi'an to go back to Siweiju to continue drawing symbols according to the new book, and left in a hurry.Shi Yi'an sighed, looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the book with a sad expression on his face.When will these days end.

In the evening, Shi Yi'an bound all the drawn talisman papers into a book and prepared to give it to my uncle to "hand in homework".When he was idle and bored, he remembered that there seemed to be a cousin who had never been masked living in this family.I vaguely remember that my uncle said that this cousin seems to live on the easternmost side of the mansion.Since I want to live here permanently, it seems good to have a peer.

The house where his cousin Shi Yixing lives is not too close to Siwei Residence. Shi Yian arrived under the sun for nearly 10 minutes. When he was wandering at the door thinking about how to enter the courtyard, he heard someone inside say : "Don't hang around the door, come in quickly."
