In the days after returning from Yanyun Mountain, Wei Changtian has been learning escape techniques from Lao Zhangtou.
If the "Star Scabbard" is the only space magic weapon he has seen so far, then this escape technique is the only space magic weapon.
"Book of Jin": The art of escape can hide something when you see it. But earth is the fastest way to escape. There is no earth to cover.
As Taoism calls the five methods used by immortals to escape by borrowing objects, the Five Elements Escape Technique is divided into five types: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
What Lao Zhangtou has mastered is the "Earth Release", which can only be used when standing on the ground.
As long as you step on the ground, recite the mantra silently, and the internal force circulates in the body according to a fixed method, the person who performs the spell and the living creatures he comes into contact with can move instantly.
This magical power sounds awesome, but in fact it has many harsh conditions for its use.
First of all, if you want to use the escape technique, you must follow the Taoist cultivation path.
Secondly, since the internal force must fill the whole body of the performer when performing the technique, the performer must be a martial artist with full access to the sixty-four meridians.
Obviously, this alone can block 99% of the cultivators.
At the very least, the only person around Wei Changtian who can meet this condition is Achun, who has an innate Taoist body. As for Xu Qingwan, Liang Qin, and Chu Xianping, none of them can do it.
This also made Wei Changtian's idea of "promoting the escape technique" directly come to nothing.
But although these people can't learn, Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen can.
If we find an opportunity to teach the escape technique to the two of them, it will be equivalent to having one more way to save their lives, and Wei Changtian will be more assured of the safety of the two of them in the capital.
"..."
"Master, my parents also have full access to the sixty-four meridians."
In the backyard, Wei Changtian, who had just successfully "flashed" a few feet away, stood still, then approached Old Zhangtou with a smile on his face: "Can I teach them the escape technique?"
"The Five Elements Escape Technique is Baidian's secret skill. If I teach it to you, it will be an exception."
Lao Zhangtou glared angrily: "So as long as I haven't left, I will never allow you to do such a thing!"
"clear!"
Wei Changtian nodded nonchalantly: "Then I'll teach you again after you're gone!"
"..."
Glancing at Wei Changtian helplessly, Lao Zhangtou didn't say anything else, which was regarded as acquiescing to the former's approach.
In fact, from the moment he decided to teach the escape technique to Achun, he had already expected that "the leakage of his secret skill" would be inevitable.
But he did it anyway.
Perhaps this is the last "parting gift" that Lao Zhangtou wants to leave to Wei Changtian.
After all, Wei Changtian had called him "Master" no matter what he said during the master-disciple encounter.
"..."
"Listen, each time you use the escape technique, you need to prepare for a long time, so you must be extremely cautious when using the technique against the enemy..."
Slowly walking to a piece of bluestone and sitting down, Lao Zhang said sternly: "Also, the farther you move, the harder it is to control the position, and even the direction becomes difficult to control after a certain distance."
"Just like Achun last time, he couldn't control the direction of his appearance, so he accidentally got bumped into him by you."
"So unless you are trying to escape for your life, don't run too far at once, and try not to exceed the range of ten feet."
"besides......"
"..."
The afternoon sun was lazy, and Lao Zhang explained the "precautions" of the escape technique one by one with his head raised and his eyelids raised.
Although his expression was very impatient, he spoke very carefully and even repeated some parts several times.
Wei Changtian did not interrupt, and kept standing nearby and listening. It was not until the former finished saying everything that he needed to say that he smiled and asked, "Master, I understand everything about the escape technique."
"Other than that, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"you......"
Patting the dust on his clothes, Lao Zhangtou sighed suddenly after being silent for a while.
"Alas, I know that you don't really regard me as your master."
"I do not blame you."
"If it were me when I was younger, I would probably have the same thoughts as you."
"I can only say that you and I have a master-disciple relationship, but we don't have a master-disciple relationship."
"I have nothing to tell you, but I have another sentence... which is the only sentiment I have in my life."
"I have told this to Master Qin before, but he seems to have failed to listen."
"So now you can listen if you want to, and just turn a deaf ear if you don't want to."
"..."
Looking at Wei Changtian with a complicated expression, Lao Zhangtou paused for a moment, and then slowly said as if sighing or admonishing:
"Everything in this world is impermanent, ever-changing, illusory and unreal."
"If you can't see clearly between reality and fiction...then remember that only your own heart is the most trustworthy."
If you can't see clearly, you can only trust your heart.
Wei Changtian's brows moved slightly as he remembered that Lao Zhangtou had indeed said something similar to Qin Zhengqiu.
But when the same words were said to myself again, the meaning seemed to be different.
"..."
Without saying anything, Wei Changtian slowly sat down next to Lao Zhangtou.
An old and decrepit young man with white hair sits and watches the clouds rise and fall.
The sunlight slowly faded from golden to orange, and then mixed with a little orange.
An old man and a young man just sat on the bluestone without saying a word from afternoon to dusk.
A few wisps of smoke rose sparsely from the front yard, and a lone crane was flying towards the boundless sky.
Tonight, the small house is as peaceful and quiet as ever.
...
...
The next morning.
After breakfast, Wei Changtian took Agou and Achun to send Lao Zhangtou outside the city.
The latter's luggage was very little, and apart from a few pieces of clothing, he only had the long sword that had almost killed "Yam Luo" twice.
Although it no longer has the sharp edge it had before, the sword body is still smooth and bright.
It's just that the sword is new and the man is old. The man who once took it to travel around the world no longer looks like he did when he was young.
"..."
"Okay, let's go back."
Without saying any nonsense, Lao Zhangtou bent down and got into the carriage, his expression very relaxed.
The several Freemason gangs who acted as his escorts on this trip shifted their attention to Wei Changtian, and then saw the latter waving his hands equally relaxedly.
"Well, let's go."
"Yes! Master!"
Several members of the Freemasons responded in unison, immediately mounted their horses and waved their whips, escorting the carriage to a distance.
Soon, the group of people disappeared at the end of the official road, and Wei Changtian also turned to look at Ah Chun and Ah Gou.
Logically speaking, the relationship between the former and Lao Zhangtou should be far less deep than that of the latter.
But at this moment, the emotions of the two little girls were exactly the opposite.
Ah Chun, who had only known Lao Zhangtou for a few days, looked reluctant to leave. On the contrary, Ah Gou, who had been with Lao Zhangtou since he was a child, looked indifferent.
Do you have such a big heart...
Wei Changtian didn't say anything, and after standing there for a while, he took the two little girls back to the small house in the car.
Although it was still early morning when we set off, it was lunch time when we came back.
Ah Chun barely ate much of the meal, while Ah Gou still ate as deliciously as before.
"Big brother! I'm full!"
"I went back to the house to take a nap!"
Putting down his chopsticks and patting his swollen belly, Agou ran out of the dining room in a bounding motion.
She ran briskly back to her room, closed the door on tiptoe, took off her shoes and socks and slowly got into bed.
Lying on the bed with his eyes open, Agou fought hard against his tears.
She didn't dare to blink, took a deep breath, and clenched her little hands into fists...
But after struggling for a long time, she still couldn't hold back her tears.
"Grandpa, grandpa..."
"A-Agou has no grandpa anymore..."
"Woooooooo, I want grandpa, I want grandpa..."
"..."
The crying hidden under the quilt was a little muffled.
The sun shone in from the window, like a big wrinkled hand, falling gently on her body.
