"According to the rules, it's not allowed. It can only be people from the same clan or surrounding villages. But...hey...the times are different now, and this kind of thing is not so serious. But! Xiu'er is the wizard heir of Hongzhu Village. From now on She wants to become the official wizard in my place. Her man must live in the Red Bamboo Village, and the village cannot be without wizards. It’s not that I don’t want to part with her, but the Red Bamboo Village cannot be without wizards, and this cannot be changed." Xing Manling Said very firmly.
"Yes, I understand, it really just depends on fate." Yu Xiaolong said with a smile.
"I heard from Xiu'er that you are all good people. I have seen this since the last time you came here. People with bad moods cannot do that. Even if it is for profit or something, they will not risk their lives in a fight. That's why I feel free to hand her over to you." Xing Manling nodded with satisfaction.
"The wizard is serious. Of course we are not trying to do anything. It's just because we met each other. We can't stand the style of those bad guys, and we can't bear to see that the village is not peaceful, so...hehe." Yu Xiaolong said with a grin. .
"Well... young man, you were born with strange veins, and you have... a lot of them. Why do you practice ghost ways? Can you give me some advice?" Xing Manling looked at him and asked.
"How dare you give me advice? The wizard is joking. Because I am a ghost to my ancestors, so... many people think that ghosts are evil arts and cannot be promoted to the big stage. I don't think so. Any kind of Taoism, including ghosts , also includes witchcraft. The important thing is not the good or evil of Tao and law, but the people. When people are righteous, the Tao is also righteous, and when people are evil, the law is also evil." Yu Xiaolong said with a smile.
"Well said, very good. This is the key to why I think so highly of you. It is not easy for people of your age to really understand these things and follow them." Xing Manling was very happy and handed it over. A cup of tea.
When Yu Xiaolong was about to drink, he found that the cup was filled with bright red liquid and even some insects.
He frowned and felt a discomfort in his throat, almost vomiting.
Xing Manling looked at him with a smile and said: "Don't worry, this is something unique to me, and it is of great benefit to the body. Of course, you don't have to drink it, it's up to you."
Yu Xiaolong looked at her, then at the contents of the cup, then closed his eyes and raised his head to drink it in one gulp.
Xing Manling looked at Yu Xiaolong with a smile, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, you're brave enough."
Yu Xiaolong bit his lip and swallowed reluctantly.
Soon, he felt as if there were insects crawling in his stomach, and even entered his veins.
"Haha, don't worry, those little guys are only good for you and don't do any harm. Apart from Xiu'er, no other person is qualified to drink this, and now you are." Xing Manling said with a smile.
Yu Xiaolong didn't bother to answer. He only felt that his stomach was full of excitement, as if there were thousands of small insects squirming everywhere. After an intense period of discomfort, Yu Xiaolong slowly felt comfortable, as if someone was tickling him.
After a long time, Yu Xiaolong took a long breath and said, "Wizard, I really feel good now."
"Haha, of course." Xing Manling chuckled.
"Wizard, is there anything you can teach me?" Yu Xiaolong chuckled.
"Haha, young man, you have mastered a lot of Taoism. Do you also want to learn witchcraft?" Xing Manling was startled and looked at him with a smile.
"Well...haha...it never hurts to learn more, right?" Yu Xiaolong giggled.
"This is really difficult to handle. Witchcraft is not something you can just learn if you want to. You must have this background and start cultivating it from the age of three at the latest before you can embark on the path of a wizard." Xing Manling shook his head.
"That's it...well, what a pity, hehe." Yu Xiaolong smiled awkwardly.
"There are many Taoist methods in the world that cannot be learned halfway, and some need to be cultivated from birth. It's not that you are not capable, but that you are really not good at it. Witchcraft is one of them." Xing Manling said with a smile.
"I understand, thank you wizard." Yu Xiaolong nodded helplessly.
"How do you feel now after drinking my tea? Try releasing some Qi?" Xing Manling looked at him.
Yu Xiaolong tried to release a trace of his true energy. It felt faster and pure than before, without any sluggishness, as if he suddenly opened the door in a dull room and breathed in the fresh air outside. This feeling made him feel very comfortable, even enjoying it.
"So comfortable." Yu Xiaolong couldn't help blurting out.
"Haha, right? Those Gu insects can swallow up all the impurities in your veins." Xing Manling smiled.
"I see, no wonder it feels good! Is there anything else? Drink some more, hehe." Yu Xiaolong asked shamelessly.
"Young people are very greedy, haha... I won't give it to you." Xing Manling said.
"Huh?" Yu Xiaolong was stunned.
"You are not a wizard. You can only drink one drink a year at most. If you drink too much, you will explode!" Xing Manling said seriously.
"Ah? It scared me to death." Yu Xiaolong broke into a cold sweat. If it weren't for Xing Manling's warning, he would have drank it if there was another glass in front of him.
"Young people, haste makes waste in many things. You must do it step by step. You won't become fat if you eat it in one bite. Remember this!" Xing Manling said.
"Thank you wizard for your teaching!" Yu Xiaolong nodded with lingering fear.
Xing Manling and Yu Xiaolong chatted all day long, but Ying Kongxiu was still outside and did not come in.
Yu Xiaolong received a lot of enlightenment and understood many things.
He left Xing Manling's house with satisfaction and met Ying Kongxiu outside.
"Brother Yu, what did you and grandma talk about? It took so long." Ying Kongxiu stretched and yawned.
"Have you been outside all this time?" Yu Xiaolong looked at her in surprise.
"What do you think? We've been here all day! What have you been talking about?" Ying Kongxiu asked boredly.
"The wizard taught me some things and talked about some practice experiences, hehe." Yu Xiaolong said with a smile.
"Huh? Did you teach you witchcraft?" Ying Kongxiu's eyes lit up.
"Hey... I would like to learn." Yu Xiaolong sighed.
"Why, grandma doesn't teach you?" Ying Kongxiu pursed her lips and smiled.
"She said that witchcraft needs to be cultivated from an early age, and people who become monks halfway cannot learn it." Yu Xiaolong said helplessly.
"Hehe, let me tell you! That's what witchcraft is like. It really has to start from a very young age. Brother Yu, you must be disappointed." Ying Kongxiu patted his shoulder and smiled.
"It's true that I'm a little disappointed... In that case, forget it." Yu Xiaolong smiled bitterly.
"Hmph! If you learn better than me, I'll be doomed." Ying Kongxiu pouted.
"How could it be possible, haha." Yu Xiaolong laughed.
After bidding farewell to Ying Kongxiu, Yu Xiaolong wandered around, meeting villagers from time to time along the way. Everyone greeted me very politely, and many people even brought out fruits and pastries from home.
Yu Xiaolong smiled all the way and kept politely declining the villagers' invitations, but he ate a lot of fresh fruits and pastries.
Zhou Kai took Xie Tianyun and Zhang Xiaosheng around the village, eating and drinking, playing happily with their peers, and also found several soldiers from the village to compete with each other. It was a very pleasant day.
Sun Renyi has been meditating in the attic without moving a step.
