As discussed previously, a group of us called for my uncle.
"Liu Mancang, come back."
"Liu Mancang, come back!"
"Liu Mancang..."
At this time, a miracle happened. The two candles placed at the corners on both sides of the door suddenly swayed, reflecting two overlapping blurred figures.
Liu Ruxiang raised her finger to tell us not to make any sound.
We watched the shadow lingering in the hall for a while, then slowly drifting past us, to his body lying on the table, and slowly reuniting.
We held our breath and stared closely at our uncle's face, which changed from pale to yellow, and then to a trace of blood.
Suddenly, his fingers trembled, and his aunt immediately grabbed his hand excitedly, with tears in her eyes.
He finally opened his eyes.
The uncle coughed twice, and his face turned green and white for a while.
"Mancang, are you feeling better?" my aunt asked in tears.
The uncle nodded: "What happened to me? I went to the toilet and my feet went numb when I got up. It was as if something pulled me and I fell straight in."
The uncle spit out two mouthfuls of thick phlegm and his eyes were still a little dizzy.
"It was Xiaoxiang who brought your soul back to you, so thank you." Auntie urged, and uncle jumped down and bowed.
"Hey, no need. What happened to you today has something to do with this little bastard. After all, it was me who broke you." Liu Ruxiang waved her hand and ordered her uncle to eat the plate of vermicelli stewed chicken, and then hurried back with me. Arrive at home.
It was completely dark, so Liu Ruxiang immediately boiled water to take a bath. I wiped it with a towel dipped in the remaining hot water, and quickly fell asleep.
The next morning, Liu Ruxiang took me to the town’s junior high school to register.
This junior high school has several four-story buildings with ceramic tiles on the exterior walls. The inside of the school is very beautiful.
I looked around curiously, and suddenly I saw two abandoned buildings not far away behind the teaching building. They were tall and large, but I didn't know why the windows were missing.
I always felt something was wrong, so I kept staring there, and suddenly a mysterious red shadow floated through a window.
"That is……"
That's a person!
A woman in red clothes stood behind the window with her back turned, and was blocked from seeing the lower half of her body and legs.
As soon as I stretched out my finger, the red shadow suddenly disappeared.
I shook my head in confusion and looked at Liu Ruxiang’s puzzled look, so I had to say it was nothing.
When the school's vice-principal heard that Liu Ruxiang was coming, he ran downstairs enthusiastically, straightened his few hair, and stretched out his big fat hand.
Liu Ruxiang poked me, and I immediately understood what he meant. I walked up and held the principal's hand.
"Hello principal!"
"Uh... classmates are welcome to come and study here."
The oily face showed a hint of embarrassment, and then he took the initiative to say hello to Liu Ruxiang.
"Auntie, this little brother is..." The principal looked at me.
"What a little brother, neither older nor younger. He is my apprentice and has joined my Liu family. Strictly speaking, he is still your father's backup, so you have to call him uncle."
The principal's old face immediately drooped. Looking at it, he pinched his fingers and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Oh, little uncle, you can study in our school from now on, it doesn't matter."
I nodded, feeling a little embarrassed. I didn't expect that being one level older could crush someone. There was an extra nephew for no reason, and the principal actually called me uncle. This was quite bragging.
But I also understand that this is all the face given by Liu Ruxiang. It would be nice if you don't give me little shoes to wear in private.
After chatting for a few more words, the principal sent us out of the school with a few words of greeting.
Since we are still on summer vacation, we have to wait half a month before school starts.
In the days to come, Liu Ruxiang naturally made plans for me.
"Since you worship me as your teacher, you have to call me master. So in this first class, we won't teach any advanced magic. Let's first talk about what a master is."
"Master Shigong is widely distributed throughout our province, and most of them are inherited and developed along the Li River. And because the Li River flows from north to south, it divides the land into east and west. Therefore, Master Shigong's method also has two schools, Jiangdong and Jiangxi."
"We are in Jiangxi, and the masters in Jiangdong are very bad. They are greedy and cunning, and their magic is sinister and cruel. Please be more careful if you deal with them in the future."
Liu Ruxiang changed the topic again and introduced the inheritance of our Liu family’s master.
At that time, it was still 400 years ago in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Liu Wannian, the ancestor of the Liu family, was a great master with great magical powers. He was best at praying for children. He became famous in the Guangdong and Guangxi areas when he was young. He visited He Shijin, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi many times. Home practice.
"Then He Shijin was a wealthy man who often spent a lot of money. In this way, our ancestors saved up enough money and went home to marry and have children. Only then did they create the Yumen Liu family. Based on the master's law, it is based on what it is today."
I listened to the clouds and fog, and I didn't know what Wanli was in the Ming Dynasty or what the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi was. I only knew that the Liu family had a great background.
"Now you are also my Liu family, but you must think of the Liu family well. Stop thinking about your old poor village. Look at your grandma's funeral. Did your villagers contribute any effort or money?"
I nodded, as if I had listened to Liu Ruxiang's words. There are only a few people in that place that I really miss, including the barefoot doctor, Aunt Zhang from the west end of the village, who gave me candy several times before, and the village chief, who can barely count as half.
The rest of the people regarded me as a disaster. Whenever they saw me, they would point fingers, spit on me and insult me. I was fed up with those people’s laughter and rolling eyes.
Mojiacun may be forgotten soon...
"Ahem, let's get back to the topic now. The practice of Shigong Fa is mainly divided into these four categories, copying textbooks, practicing songs, learning methods, and dancing steps."
Liu Ruxiang looked at my confused look, smiled faintly, and explained: "Let me put it another way and you will understand. Copying textbooks is equivalent to copying texts to deepen the impression. Singing practice books are to memorize the texts in your mind like singing. Sing it. The method is to learn various magic rituals from the master, and dance steps are the most important means of communicating with ghosts and gods."
After Liu Ruxiang finished speaking, a look of embarrassment immediately appeared on my face.
"Did you eat mud? Stop pouting." Liu Ruxiang glared at me, turned around and walked into the house. After a while, she took out a stack of blue booklets.
"These are some relatively simple textbooks. You should memorize them first. I will check your recitation progress every day."
As soon as I picked it up, I could immediately feel the heavy weight of these booklets. Liu Ruxiang introduced them to me one by one.
The first sutra is called "Wish to the Po King", which is about praying for blessings, which is the literal meaning.
The second book is called "Flower Sending Song", which contains the Master's scriptures for asking for heirs to continue the incense.
