I think this guy Lao Cao must be talking nonsense.
Are you kidding me? !
I am just a junior high school student who has just studied the method for three months.
A battle of wits with a coffin bearer and paper maker who has been immersed in Taoism for decades?
To put it mildly, this is called playing tricks on one's own work and asking for trouble.
To put it harshly, it is basically a matter of life and death.
Uh... Of course, it's not my fault. It was Lao Cao who proposed it himself.
So I shook my head while refusing, and gave him a free eye roll by the way.
"Oh, Xiao Wu, don't worry. I'm not asking you and I to have a head-on fight. We haven't finished talking yet. We can compete in a literary battle. This is how we fight."
Literary fight?
I was stunned.
This is an unheard word.
So, Lao Cao gave me a general story...
It turns out that in the Xuanmen Jianghu, apart from the kind of life and death battle with hatred. There are two modes of competition between friends or fellow disciples.
One is called martial arts.
That's a normal fight, everyone uses their own methods, but because it's a friendly competition, they usually don't make fatal blows.
But it is estimated that some minor friction and minor injuries are inevitable.
The other is called Wen Dou.
That is, two people stand a certain distance apart, and then one casts the spell and the other defends.
A round needs to be over before the next round of fighting can begin.
And during this process, both the offensive and defensive parties can help the other party keep an eye on things to avoid accidents.
In most cases, the elders will use this "literary fight" method to examine the younger ones.
Just a few years later, when something called "online games" became popular among teenagers, I discovered that similar situations could probably be found in games.
The so-called martial arts is a real-time combat online game.
And Wen Dou, isn’t it a turn-based online game? Similar to dreams, big words and the like.
So much so that I started to wonder, are there people from Xuanmen hidden in these game planners?
Therefore, the "martial battles" and "literary battles" in Xuanmen Jianghu were changed into real-time battles and turn-based games respectively...
Of course, this is all for later.
Back to business.
But I said that after listening to Lao Cao's explanation, I felt relieved.
She looked at him with a smile and said: "I see. Old Cao, do you want to test me? Okay, let's try it. I won't hold back, so you have to be gentle."
"You brat! If you hit me with all your strength, just hold back when I hit you, right?"
I also laughed and cursed.
"Nonsense! Why are you trying to hit me with all your strength? As soon as the magic paper fire knife is opened, I will burp like that lady."
Although Lao Cao is almost catching up with my grandfather in age, when I am with him, I am not as restrained as when I am with my elders, and I am very relaxed.
This is what the so-called "year-old friends" are like.
After saying that, we went to the backyard of the coffin shop.
Lao Cao's coffin was laid out on the outermost edge of the east side of the town. Behind the house was a large expanse of farmland, and in the distance was one of the rivers surrounding Lianghe Town.
Between the coffin shop and the farmland, there is an open cement yard, which is connected to the coffin shop.
In fact, in Sichuan and Chongqing dialect, it can also be called Shaiba. Used to dry grains, grains, etc.
Of course Lao Cao will definitely not use it.
So this Shaiba courtyard is where he practices practice when he has free time at night.
Now in the afternoon, there is no one in the surrounding farmland. Our fight here will not affect others.
I observed it with my eyes, pretended to casually take out two small stones from my pocket, and threw them randomly in two places in the cement yard.
Well, small moves.
Lao Cao immediately laughed.
"Xiao Wu, I'm not blind yet. You're so naughty! You clearly agreed that it was Wen Dou, but then you secretly set up the gate formation."
Well……
I was a little embarrassed to be caught on the spot.
He scratched his head and chuckled: "Then why does Lao Cao know Qimen Dunjia? My master said that there are very few people who understand it."
Lao Cao shook his head: "I don't understand. But have you never eaten pork or seen pigs running? Just like I don't know how to drive, but if I see you holding the steering wheel, I don't know you are driving. ?”
But he didn't let me pick it up. It was just a literary competition anyway, so he must have let me do it in all directions.
Faced with coffin bearers and coffin makers with decades of experience, they are a bit cunning and don't make excuses.
We stood at both ends of the yard, about six meters apart.
"Xiao Wu, you go first."
"good!"
I have long been ready.
To be honest, I am actually eager to try this big increase in strength.
It's just that I really can't find a good partner.
Now that Lao Cao has taken the initiative to propose a "turn-based" fight that won't hurt me, it can be considered a test.
I held my breath and concentrated, feeling the flowing Qi in my Dantian, and then mobilized it along the meridians to the palms of my hands. Finally, the yellow talismans are attached invisibly to both hands.
Hit with both hands at the same time!
The headache talisman comes out of the right hand.
The blindness charm comes out of the left hand.
These are also two basic spells. As the name suggests, they can cause severe headaches and temporary blindness to the person hit.
The duration of headache and blindness depends on the caster's own magic power.
Like I said before, hitting an ordinary person can last about two minutes.
call!
Two yellow talisman papers flew through the air and quickly flew towards Lao Cao.
They are obviously two pieces of paper, but they seem to have weight and can fly quickly.
This is the method of "beating the talisman".
You need to use "qi" to infuse it, and then fly out the talisman paper.
Different cultivation levels naturally have different distances at which spells can be cast.
I could only hit three or four meters before, but now I feel very relaxed about six meters!
Lao Cao smiled as he faced the two talismans flying over.
"You're so good, Xiao Wu! You're so ruthless when you strike, the headache talisman and the blindness talisman. No matter which one you hit, it will be very troublesome. Bullying an old man like me has no martial ethics."
I thought to myself that if I wanted to talk about martial arts, wouldn’t I be defeated by you in a matter of seconds?
To be honest, I still have a little unrealistic hope deep in my heart - that is, to defeat Lao Cao in this kind of literary competition!
While smiling, Lao Cao stretched out his thick calloused hands and stretched them forward.
His movements seemed slow to the naked eye, like an old farmer fishing for fish in the rice fields.
But it brought a whirring sound.
Apparently it's actually extremely fast!
The left and right hands grabbed my two [Headache Talisman] and [Blindness Talisman] respectively - they actually reached out and caught them forcefully?
puff!
Lao Cao's hand grabbed two talisman papers.
To his surprise, the headache talisman was easily crushed into pieces after being grabbed by his left hand.
But the blinding talisman disappeared when Lao Cao grabbed it with his right hand, as if it had caught a phantom or air.
Um? !
Lao Cao was slightly startled, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, Lao Cao's left shoulder position. The air was like ripples on the water's surface, creating a circle of ripples.
A yellow talisman appeared out of thin air and was about to stick to his shoulder.
I curled up the corner of my mouth and showed a smile.
"Haha, Lao Cao, you were still deceived by the deception of the miniature Qimen formation I just set up! At the beginning, I typed both talismans on your left side."
I'm a little proud.
That's right!
These are all the effects of the Qimen formation I just used to lay out with two small stones.
Although Qi Men Dun Jia is one of the most mysterious and profound Taoist methods.
But after absorbing the power of the Corpse Pill, I can already perform some simple application effects.
For example, this kind of using stones to occupy different strange door positions puts fixed targets into a state of slight blindness.
If explained in scientific terms, it is equivalent to a visual error.
With the help of the "cheating" arrangement in advance, I caused Lao Cao's vision to produce a "mirror image folding" error.
In fact, the [Blindness Talisman] he saw on the right was a projection of the real talisman!
Of course, the [Headache Talisman] has no such visual error. So he was crushed to pieces by Lao Cao.
The so-called mixed truth and falsehood!
"If I hit it, can I win directly? After all, how can I continue to fight if I can't see?"
I felt a little excited.
But what I didn't expect was that Lao Cao smiled. He turned his head and looked at the talisman paper which was less than two inches away from his shoulder...
