Faced with Shen Rufeng's question, I actually don't know how to answer...
He didn't even see the mysterious woman's face back then. How could I know if she was my master?
Although judging from the clothes and behavior of that mysterious master, he does look quite similar to my master!
Moreover, when the master accepted me as his disciple, he hinted that she did have a "teacher sect" or "Taoist lineage" background behind her.
However, she didn't tell me the specific situation. Maybe it was because you thought I was still young at the time and didn’t want me to have too deep contact?
I could only answer helplessly.
"Old Shen, since you have already said this, I won't hide it anymore. Judging from the situation you described, I also feel that maybe the mysterious woman who saved you back then should be with me. She inherited the Dharma lineage from the same master. But after all, you didn’t see what she looked like, so you can’t describe her features. I’m not sure whether she is my master! After all, at least the clothes she wears can be worn by anyone. It’s just that my master casts a spell. There is no need to use talismans..."
oh?
A meaningful smile appeared on Shen Rufeng's face.
"That is to say, Xiao Wu, your master is at least a practitioner of the Taoist [Qi-eating] realm? Because practitioners of the orthodox Taoist talisman lineage need to reach the [Ethiking] realm before they can use their own [Qi] Draw talismans in the air and no longer rely on talisman paper and mantras to communicate the aura of heaven and earth."
I nodded.
"Maybe...Actually, I don't know the master's true state, but I think she must be at least in the state of [Breathhraxis], right?"
Having said that, I think Master must be more than that!
After all, when Lao Cao's master, Cao Yunfeng, was still young, he was easily suppressed by his master when he encountered the Xiangxi Corpse King... That was more than ninety years ago!
The master had already been able to defeat a corpse king head-on at that time, and it was obvious that he was not the kind of corpse ghost that had just entered the [King] level.
In Shen Rufeng's narration, the mysterious woman wearing a mask and a black and red dress was unable to defeat a demon king. And it doesn't have the ability to "draw symbols in the air".
If it was really my master, how many years ago would it have been?
So I asked again.
"Old Man Shen, when was it that you were rescued by that mysterious woman? How many years ago was it?"
Shen Rufeng sighed and didn't answer me immediately.
I immediately pretended to be unhappy and frowned.
"Hey, I answered you honestly and didn't hide anything. It's not a secret for you at this time. Is there anything you can't say?"
Shen Rufeng glanced at me and said.
"If I remember correctly, it was probably 1894, right?"
What? !
My eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
"Old Shen, did you remember correctly? That wasn't... more than a hundred years ago!"
I have actually thought about it. If Shen Rufeng can take charge of the southwest regional branch of the supernatural organization that the superiors personally requested to establish, his cultivation is definitely not weak!
Generally speaking, he wouldn't be too young - at least he couldn't be in his fifties as he looked on the surface.
But I never expected that he would be so old, what an old monster!
I stared at Shen Rufeng in surprise.
"In that case, you were already in your twenties in 1894. Then you must be one hundred, thirty or forty years old now! Do you still like to drink Coke and play computer games?"
He laughed and said that a person's age is not judged by how long he has lived, but by his own spirit and psychological state!
As long as you are young in mind, you will be young.
On the contrary, it will be old-fashioned.
Of course, it mainly depends on the realm of cultivation... Only when you have a high cultivation level can you be qualified to choose a different mentality and external appearance!
I was shocked and pouted in a joking manner.
"So, Old Shen, you have lived for such a long time and have not yet reached the state of [breathuria]. Your talent is not very high either!"
Ha ha ha ha!
Shen Rufeng laughed, the flesh on his face and stomach trembling, and his face turned red.
He drank up the Coke in his hand, threw the can into the trash can, and then pointed at me.
"You little guy, do you think that the realm of [breathing] that Taoist practitioners say is so easy to achieve? There are hundreds of [breathing] realm monks who are dozens of years old. And they must be extremely talented. Only those who work hard can achieve it. After all, among those who [Condensation Energy Transforms into Reality], maybe only one in a hundred has the chance to break through to the realm of [Breath Prayer]."
"So, Old Shen, are you average?"
Shen Rufeng said "Hey".
"Of course not! Because I am not an orthodox Taoist practitioner at all. My realm is actually different from that of a Taoist practitioner. It's just that everyone is used to making conversions based on this standard. Just like the Ghost King, the Corpse King, and the Demon King And so on, it also corresponds to the Taoist [Qi-Stomach] realm."
I see……
I nodded slightly.
Shen Rufeng said just now that he was born in a family of supernatural practitioners, and the method he practiced must be the inheritance of their family.
"Old Shen, I was joking with you just now! However, your cultivation level is not in the realm of [breatharian], but your combat power can compete with the ghost king who has been around for hundreds of years! This is much better than ordinary [breatharian] monks. "
After complimenting him, I asked again.
"Then what kind of Dharma lineage are you? Just now, when I saw you interrogating James, you could emit a deep red flame from the palm of your hand. This flame gave me a very palpitating sense of danger."
Shen Rufeng waved his hand.
"Actually, what I practice is not entirely the dharma lineage inherited from my family. Hey, it is complicated to explain my skills and methods... I will tell you in detail when I have the opportunity in the future."
In fact, what he said was a more formal refusal to answer.
I shrugged.
"Okay, you are the big boss. I can't be so ignorant and force the big boss to answer my questions. But the big boss can let me talk about my own Dharma lineage, even if the senior in my lineage is still him. Here’s my savior.”
Hahaha!
Shen Rufeng smiled again and pointed at me.
"You little devil, you always pretend to be pitiful! Okay, okay, I'm just telling you. You are also destined to me. The seniors of your lineage saved me, since I can't find him in more than a hundred years. If you get to her, then just consider that I owe you a favor... If you have any personal matters in the future, you can ask me once. I will try my best to help you!"
Having said this, he said seriously again.
"Only once! Xiao Wu, brothers have to settle accounts openly. Although I am very optimistic about you, but if I try my best to help you with your personal affairs, it will only be once! And it will be through the kindness of the mysterious senior female master."
I nodded.
"Of course I understand!"
"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go and do your own business."
Shen Rufeng smiled and waved his hand, indicating that I could leave.
I stood up and prepared to leave.
As soon as I walked to the door, I suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked.
"By the way, Old Shen, the mysterious female master you mentioned who saved your life, did she use any magic weapon when she fought with the Demon King? Or was it just pure spell attacks?"
Magic weapon...
Shen Rufeng was stunned. He probably didn't expect why I would ask this. His eyes showed a look of thinking and reminiscing.
"Yes! It seems there is. I was young at the time and thought it was a defensive spell. Later, many years later, when I recalled it, I thought it might be the effect of some kind of magic weapon... which kept appearing around her body. The circular shield is a ghost! It’s golden and translucent, and there seem to be many weird lines on it. But because of the distance, I can’t see clearly.”
