Coffin of the Nether World - C53
I looked at Master staring blankly at the Six-ding-six-jia Evil Breaking Talisman for a long time, then I waved my hand in front of him.
Master sighed and said to me: “Maybe Master was wrong, the Nine Heavens Taiqing Evil Breaking Talisman was researched by Master, maybe it is not suitable for the others, after all, Master has not sent it to anyone who writes about the San Qing Book yet, and everyone in the Six-ding-six-jia Evil Breaking Talisman can learn it, if we meet someone fated to do it, then the learning speed will be even faster.”
“Looks like the Nine Heavens Taiqing Evil Breaking Talisman is not suitable for you, the Maoshan Dao Techniques are originally from the San Qing Book, and like this, you will learn mainly from the San Qing Book. Master, how much can you learn, you will do your best to learn, and if not, you will come and ask master.”
“It means that the fate between you and the San Qing Book is greater than the fate between you and Master, so the things that Master developed for you are not suitable for you. Since you can draw the Six-ding-six-jia Evil Breaking Talisman, then you might as well use this talisman from now on.”
Thus, in the next few days, I studied San Qing Book with Master’s help. What made me at a loss whether to laugh or cry was that sometimes I would ask Master a few questions, but Master would actually say that he didn’t even know about it.
He could only sigh and not listen, San Qing Book is indeed a San Qing Book, these things he has absolutely no way of knowing, he can only let me slowly think about it in the future.
I asked Master why he didn’t learn San Qing Book s, Master said that two people are not allowed to learn this kind of Divine Book at the same time. If it really appears, then these two people might become enemies of each other, until the other party dies.
When I asked Master what he was talking about, he couldn’t explain it himself. He could only say that this was the Taoism of Yin and Yang.
Actually, even if I learn San Qing Book myself, I don’t get any obvious feeling. It’s just that I feel that the things inside are really hard to understand.
I also saw a lot of formations inside, including the five ghosts that caused us so much trouble earlier on.
I just looked at a few things and didn’t dare to look at them too much. I don’t think that I will ever need to use something like this in my entire life.
When I looked at the names of these things, I felt my scalp tingling. Didn’t Master say that the San Qing Book was a divine book’s mark? There’s something on it, too.
Master then told me whether this thing is a Divine Book to save or an Evil Book to harm others, then it depends on the person who owns it. The good thing about it is the Divine Book, and the bad thing about it is the Evil Book.
In any case, time just like this in my day and night of study slowly walked by.
In May, Big Sister Xiaowen and Zhou Li raised money in the village to start a proper school. They even spent money to get a teacher for them, saying that they wanted to let the little kids in the village receive a formal education.
Thus, I once again started my journey to school. In class I once again met Xiao Wu and Dongmei, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time, and the teacher this time was not like the previous time, who was holding a long wooden stick in his hand.
Sometimes, I would constantly praise myself for writing well, and then all the way until June, when the weather got hotter and hotter and the teacher said he wanted to take a vacation.
Big Sister Xiaowen took me to her house and told me that she would be sending me to the city in September. She told me to stay at her house for the rest of my time, so Zhou Li would teach me some things related to learning.
As soon as I heard that I had to learn again, I immediately felt a headache. Learning Tao techniques from my master is already fatal. What do you want to learn now?
Fortunately, the distance between Master and Sister Xiaowen’s house wasn’t too far, so I just ran.
I asked Sister Xiaowen where I would live once I got to the city head. Sister Xiaowen told me not to worry, she would make arrangements, and I would just have to listen to her.
Thus, for the rest of the time, I would study Master’s things while learning the written knowledge from Sister Xiaowen.
En … Written knowledge is a term that I only understood after learning it from Zhou Li for half a month.
Addition, Subtraction, Divide, Multiplication, Divide, Phonetic … I don’t know why, but maybe it was because I kept rotating non-stop. Zhou Li said that all of these things could only be grasped after graduating from primary school, and I’ve been learning most of them since August.
Zhou Li had always said that I was smart, I could actually learn it so quickly. He said that if I study hard in the future, I would have no problem getting an undergraduate degree.
However, I still didn’t understand anything. However, because I was walking back and forth between Master’s house and Sister Xiaowen’s, I had suntanned a lot. That was true.
It was about halfway through August, and this was the hottest time of the year. My master said to me, “With so much stuff forced on you, it’s about time you stuffed it all down. From now on, it’s more likely that you’ll be digesting it well. Just remember it, or do you want it to be of no use?”
I nodded and said that I knew, as far as the drawing of the symbols was concerned, that I knew all about it, but it was unlikely that I would be able to draw it.
These are the only three things that I can take out right now, and the more powerful thing that my master mentioned: the Sword Finger Incantation!
Master said that this thing needs to be used with sword fingers, and that way, the hand with the Sword Finger Incantation drawn on it will be like a Copper Coin Sword, and it will be extremely powerful! If used together with the Copper Coin Sword, the effect would be even better.
That was all. I had only forcefully memorized the rest, so I didn’t really understand anything about it.
After settling all of my matters, I finally reacted to the situation. In the past year, I seemed to have gone through a lot. Unknowingly, I was already heading towards a big city.
He Fang, it’s my name, but what about Lu Li? I don’t even know it.
Ever since I went out with Master, it’s been almost a year. Right now, I have to go outside, and I don’t even know how often I have to come back.
But I didn’t dare go back. I didn’t even know I was going to face my father, and he still didn’t know I’d killed my mother and my brother.
Master seemed to understand what I was thinking and said to me, “If you want to go back, then go take a look. After all, it’s up to you whether you want to come back or not. Even though you’re about ten now, I’ve never treated you like a ten year old child. You’re much more knowledgeable than your peers.”
I nodded and headed towards He Family Village under the sun.
I asked myself if I wanted to go back.
Yes! So I stopped thinking about it.
Before we left, Master said to me, “There are some things that have already passed, so there’s no need to bring them up. It’s not good for everyone to bring them up.”
I knew my master was talking about my mother and brother, and I nodded and said yes.
After walking under the sun for a long time, I returned to the He Family Village. Although it was 4 o’clock in the afternoon, I was still sweating profusely.
In a year’s time, his He Family Village had not changed at all, and was still the same as before. Right now, it was much cooler compared to at noon, at least because the sun was not shining directly.
I held a stick in my hand and swung it as I walked. I kept thinking about what I should say when I saw my father later. Unknowingly, I arrived at the entrance to the courtyard.
When I saw my father carrying a hoe and carrying a basket on his back, I stood in front of my father, opened my mouth, and called out, “Dad.”
After shouting, I felt my nose go sour. In just a year’s time, I felt that my father had aged a lot. He was only in his early forties, but there was already white hair on his head.
When my father saw me, he was also stunned. Apparently, he didn’t expect me to return at this time.
“You’re back? “It’s such a hot day, look at your forehead full of sweat, hurry up and go home.”
After saying that, he immediately turned around and opened the door, walking inside.
I don’t know why, but I burst into tears when I heard him say, “Hurry up and go home.” He had just turned to open the door, so I quickly wiped my tears away and followed him into the house.
That afternoon, my father did not go out either. My father and I talked about family matters and stories in the house, and also told him about Big Sister Xiaowen’s matter.
My father always said that I had grown up, that I was sensible, and that it would be good for me to go out and adventure.
My father’s temper has really changed a lot. I didn’t even dare to imagine that this was my father, but like my master said, now that it’s over, there’s no need to mention it anymore.
I stayed in the house all night, and when I left the next day, I cried again, but because I was glad, at least, that I knew what day my birthday was.
