Chapter 35 [Serving Bait and Meal Xia]
Grandpa Fan said when he was teaching a book that among the eight major gates of the Jianghu, there is a kind of person who does not rely on Mayi Feng Shui and Zhouyi numerology, but relies on his own supernatural powers to make a living. This kind of person is the so-called demonic powers and ghost powers of Buddhism and Taoism, and they are possessed by demons and ghosts and gained supernatural powers.
People who are possessed often get involved after a serious illness. Because of their weak yang energy, they will be taken advantage of by demons. If they are demons, they will be better. Most of them are weasels, gray-white and black snakes, or hedgehogs and foxes. They are all spiritual creatures that have been around for the past. Because they have no human body, they will be attached to people and earn incense and merits in the world, and will not take the initiative to harm others.
If it is a ghost, it is to absorb the yang energy of the house. Although the person who is possessed can make some money, he often cannot live long.
Although these legends have not been officially recorded in Taoist books, many older people have heard of them, and are not entirely groundless.
Wu Ruisheng’s actions are very similar to those of such people. I just don’t know if it is a demon or a ghost attached to him?
Speaking of which, although this "master" has earned a lot of fame and a lot of money, he is actually a pitiful person. The price he paid is his own life!
But who can blame him? If he does not have the idea of greed and can abandon his inner demons and not lie, even if he is possessed by a demon, the demon will not get much benefit from him, and he will leave on his own. Therefore, as long as a person has a righteous heart and a righteous mind, he will not invade all evil. This is the reason.
When school was over in the afternoon, it was only five o'clock when Uncle Wang Liang came to pick me up. He and Teacher Fan agreed that it would not take Uncle Huang to Taishan until 8 o'clock in the evening. To pick me up so early, I probably wanted to ask me about the hidden knife. I was not going to hide it from him. Anyway, he even knew about me being a cultivator. He gave me this hidden knife to me, so I must explain it to him.
Fortunately, he is also a master who hides himself in the world. It is a pleasure to keep it a secret with his uncle and nephew, and share the secrets together.
After Uncle Wang Liang arrived at Taishan, he drove along the concrete road up the mountain to a parking platter. Then he took out a sealed iron bucket and a fishing net from the trunk, held it in his hand, and took me along the path for more than a hundred meters to a small villa.
The villa is built on a flat place on the hillside, with many trees, flowers and plants planted around it. A mountain spring is also taken in front of the main entrance to attract a stream of living water and a fountain is not the kind of dilapidated stagnant water.
Although I don’t know much about Feng Shui, judging from the surrounding scenery and this unique fountain, this villa must have been visited by an expert before it was built. Moreover, I feel that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is stronger than elsewhere, and it is really a good place to practice Taoism.
Uncle Wang Liang put the iron bucket in front of the door and opened it. I leaned over and saw that the bucket was filled with blood.
"Uncle, this is..." I leaned over and smelled it: "Is it black dog blood?"
"Haha, your nose is quite useful, but if you didn't find the black dog, you found a flower dog and just use it..."
Uncle Wang Liang said, while immersing the fishing net in blood, he clapped his hands and said, "It's done, let's go into the house. Xiaodong, today uncle has prepared some delicious food, you, a monk, will definitely like it."
This villa is not an exaggerated large mansion. The upstairs and downstairs are about 200 square meters together, and the dining room and kitchen are just downstairs. But it is precisely because they are not big that they have the warmth of home and will not give people a cold feeling.
I didn't expect that Uncle Wang Liang, a master of caring elixir, was even more skilled in cooking. In less than an hour, a few steaming dishes were served, roasted mushrooms, tremella soup, stir-fried green vegetables, yam stewed Poria cocos, cold-mixed white lotus root, and a bowl of soup, but it was stewed with excellent wild Ganoderma lucidum.
"There is actually Ganoderma lucidum?"
Although Ganoderma lucidum is not as magical and precious as mentioned in martial arts novels, there are mountain people setting up stalls at the gate of Huangzangyu near Chudu to sell them by pound. However, it also costs hundreds of yuan per pound, which is not something that ordinary people can afford. It is the first time I have seen someone eat Ganoderma lucidum to cook vegetables.
"Haha, they are all simple, try your uncle's skills."
Uncle Wang Liang unbuttoned his apron and said with a smile: "After living alone for a long time, he will make a few dishes, but he just doesn't know how good he is."
“It’s so delicious!”
I took a piece of Ganoderma lucidum and put it in my mouth. After chewing it for a few times, I found that there was a trace of Chinese medicine. However, Uncle Wang Liang's skills are indeed good. Adding these Chinese medicines will not only not make people feel bitter, but will produce sweetness in the bitterness and will be endless aftertaste.
"Uncle Wang Liang, have you always eaten vegetarian food? It's so delicious!"
Taoism emphasizes taking bait and eating shiny food, and it is clear and naturally lacks desire. During this period, I gradually stopped eating meat and fell in love with vegetarian food. Uncle Wang Liang's table of dishes was a big hit on me.
"Haha, when my uncle was a little mature martial arts, he had to eat five kilograms of beef and more than a dozen steamed buns a day. Three years ago, he was successful in holding the elixir and training the internal family's true energy, so he began to like to hate meat. Although Taoist bait is not the way to immortality, it is very beneficial to health preservation. Uncle cannot open the Taoist orifices like you and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He can only use these auxiliary methods to practice Taoism, which can be regarded as comforting himself..."
Speaking of this, Uncle Wang Liang looked at me: "Xiaodong, I can't understand the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It's my uncle's qualifications. Uncle just wants to ask you, where is the Taoist orifice? I don't expect Taoism's pure life cultivation skills, but Uncle doesn't want to give up this Taoist nature. Isn't you help me?"
I smiled bitterly. If it weren't for the merit book on earth, how could I have felt the profound energy and purify the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? As for the enlightenment of the Tao, it was activated by chance. How could I teach this?
"Uncle, it was a very accidental thing for me to realize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at that time. As for the Taoist orifices..." I told the truth: "I also used the 'spoiler-activation method' to open it in the upper dantian."
"It's actually a 'spontaneous act'?" Uncle Wang Liang sighed: "Maybe it's your roots, it seems that you should not force the practice of Taoism. Forget it, I know that this is a question, but I just can't help it."
It seems that he has read many Taoist books and knows how difficult it is to "spontaneous activism".
"Uncle Wang Liang, that hidden knife..."
"That hidden knife? Xiaodong, have you understood the secrets in hidden knife!"
When he heard me talk about the hidden knife, his eyes lit up and he laughed: "The master is indeed not wrong. This knife is not an ordinary class, hahaha... Xiaodong, tell uncle quickly!"
"This knife is indeed extraordinary, but it is not what the master said. It can find the secret of breaking the void... and I have already refined it into a flying sword for jumping balls."
I opened my mouth, a white light shot out, wandering in the air for a week, and then swallowed it back by me. This hidden knife has been tempered. Although it is already in line with my heart, it consumes too much spiritual energy to use. Over time, even the precious energy will be consumed, so I quickly took it back, not because I was stingy.
"This...is this the legendary flying sword jumping ball?"
As a martial arts person, the attraction of the flying sword is probably even greater than that of the Golden Pill Avenue. Uncle Wang Liang suddenly shook his whole body, and then looked at me with a very obsessive look, which made me feel numb on my scalp.
"You actually...can you still practice swords?"
Uncle Wang Liang looked at me as if he was looking at a five million lottery: "Xiaodong, when will I practice it for my uncle? Even if I don't have the acquired consciousness, I can use the sword cultivation method to practice breathing the sword, and sooner or later I can control the sword with my energy."
Although the sword-raising technique he mentioned is not the Great Way of Eternity, it is the top martial arts skill. However, the swords needed are not something that ordinary people can practice. They must be someone like me who can use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Only the swords refined with care can be spiritual and used for cultivation.
"Okay, I will definitely help my uncle to refine the best sword. You just need to give me the best materials."
"A word is determined!" Uncle Wang Liang laughed, and the cups and plates on the table were trembling slightly.
***
Before eight o'clock, Teacher Fan and several male teachers living in the tube building brought Uncle Huang and carried him to the bed in the first floor room together.
When Teacher Fan saw that I was there, he looked at me with some confusion, but was embarrassed to ask. I smiled and said, "Don't worry, Teacher Fan, Uncle Wang is also my mother's friend. His medical skills are very good and he will definitely cure Uncle Huang."
"So that's the case, so please contact Mr. Huang."
"I will do my best." Uncle Wang Liang nodded and said, "Okay, because the treatment time is very long, it is not convenient for me to entertain guests here. You can go back and pick up people at this time tomorrow."
Teacher Fan hesitated for a moment. She probably wanted to stay here to accompany Uncle Huang, but when Uncle Wang Liang had already spoken to see the guests, she had to thank him and leave. Several male teachers muttered all the way: "This Mr. Wang is really strange. How could he treat someone and not let his family see him?"
Uncle Wang Liang just pretended that he had not heard these words and saw them walking away, then walked out of the door, took out the fishing net that had been soaked in more than two hours from the iron bucket, put it in a plastic bag, and pin it on his waist; then took out a few wind chimes from his arms, hung them on the branches of a few pine trees in front of the villa, and then clapped his hands and walked back.
I was stunned by the fact that this preparation was done. It seems that Uncle Wang Liang is going to do a big deal?
"Xiaodong, let's go and see the Huang reporter. Hehe, this stubborn cow can really cause trouble... It seems that we have to exercise our muscles today, otherwise his disease will not be cured..."
