Chapter 4 'God'
As for reading——
Perhaps if he studied deeply and became truly knowledgeable, he would achieve the effect that Uncle Zhong described, but it certainly wouldn't work in a short period of time, and he didn't want to remain powerless.
"Of course not.
People like me, commonly known as "walking in the dark", are just people who can communicate with those things.
Of course, when necessary, we can fight a few hands.
It can be regarded as a kind of Taoist method.
But what I learned was actually very superficial. As people in the industry say, I haven't even gotten started yet, so I can only make a living in this area.
The inheritance of this kind of thing requires extremely high standards from people. First of all, one must have sufficient 'spirit'. Without 'spirit', even if there is a master to teach you, you will not be able to learn it. "
As he spoke, Uncle Zhong also sighed.
When he was young, he was ambitious and was lucky enough to follow a master, but although his "spirituality" was stronger than that of ordinary people, it was also limited.
So I could only learn some basic tricks, and finally had no choice but to return in disgrace.
Fortunately, even such simple and crude methods were enough to deal with some strange things in the village, and he gradually became famous.
Just look at this: someone walked more than ten miles along the mountain road to come directly to him to do something.
"god?"
Chen Yushu was stunned.
“It’s a spiritual way of saying it, and the simplest way is seeing a ghost.
Ordinary people cannot see it, only those with sufficient spirit can see it.
This kind of thing can only be hurt if you see it. If you can't see it, it's useless.
Of course, there is an exception, and that's for people like you who have been around it for a long time and have been infected by its negative energy, which can be seen. But at this point, you are essentially in its control, with little room for resistance.
Uncle Zhong explained.
"So, you rejected me directly?
Is it because my 'God' is not enough?"
Chen Yushu suddenly looked enlightened.
Uncle Zhong glanced at him without saying anything, as if he agreed.
"What about martial arts?"
Chen Yushu couldn't wait to ask. At this time, he also knew that his father planned to send him to Liu's pharmacy to learn martial arts, and he felt more expectant.
“There aren’t any specific requirements for martial arts. As long as you want to learn and work hard enough, you can learn it.
Moreover, if you have achieved success in martial arts, you may also be able to learn our trade.
Because when martial arts are practiced to a certain level, the 'spirit' will also increase.
Of course, we can also learn things in our special business.
Therefore, there is a saying that one can enter the Tao through martial arts.
I'm talking about those people who have achieved success in martial arts and then turned to study Taoism.
Of course, there are actually very few people like this, because those who have achieved success in martial arts are quite powerful, stronger than many people with great skills, so there is no need to learn these things. "
The two of them talked and explained something that broadened Chen Yushu's horizons and gave him more expectations for the future.
Not only can one be proficient in martial arts, but one can also practice Taoism.
Compared to martial arts, he naturally hopes to learn Taoism and cultivate to become an immortal... Although he is not sure whether there are really immortals in this world, this is indeed a magical world full of unknown imagination.
Soon, they arrived at the wooden bridge.
Perhaps it was because breakfast was approaching, and many people who were busy with farming came back.
When the villagers met, they had to say hello. As the two of them were greeting each other, they suddenly noticed a little girl on the bridge.
Although she is called a little girl, she is actually older than Chen Yushu. Perhaps due to malnutrition, she is very thin and short.
Her hair was disheveled, her body was dirty, and you could vaguely see many pockmarks on her face.
At this moment, she was standing in the middle of the bridge, staring at the water motionlessly.
"Qiaowaer, what's wrong?"
A middle-aged woman who seemed to be her mother suddenly asked.
"The fish is coming out."
The girl replied.
"Fish? What fish?"
The woman also looked towards the water, but found nothing.
The river water is clear. Looking down from the bridge, you can see many small fish swimming around in it, some of which are quite large.
"Big fish."
The girl replied.
Big fish!
When Chen Yushu heard the little girl say this, he seemed to have thought of something, and almost subconsciously, he set his eyes on the big rock above the river.
That fish mouth stone.
The fish-mouth stone at this moment was not much different from the one he had seen before, except that the water seemed to be shallower, lifting up the "fish eye" that was originally half submerged in the water, which inexplicably gave him an eerie feeling.
It was as if the fish's eyes were open, watching everyone on the bridge.
This feeling gave him goosebumps, and he seemed to have the same feeling as when he faced the little ghost approaching yesterday.
Is there really something wrong with this stone?
"What are you standing there for? Let's go."
At this time, Uncle Zhong patted him on the shoulder and pulled him across the bridge.
He seemed to be very cold towards the girl and the woman. He didn't speak when crossing the bridge, and didn't greet the villagers as he did before.
Chen Yushu knew something about this. It seemed to be related to the grievances of the previous generation, and even involved the entire village. Therefore, the mother and daughter were a special existence in the village, and almost no one was willing to contact or communicate with them.
Even children like him had been vaguely warned.
Soon, the two arrived at Chen Yushu's house.
Chen Baihe had been waiting there for a long time and even welcomed Uncle Zhong in.
Zhao Hehua worked hard for the whole morning, preparing seven or eight dishes, filling the table. In addition to fish and meat, she also specially killed an old hen, making the meal more sumptuous than during the Chinese New Year.
After eating and drinking, an hour passed.
…
“Once you have mastered martial arts to a certain level, you can also kill ghosts.
Walking in the Yin, the Dao method, using martial arts to enter the Dao..."
After dinner, Chen Yushu sat in his yard, still thinking about what Uncle Zhong had said before.
However, in the end, I had no idea because I knew too little.
So he didn't think too much about it, took out his book and started reading and writing.
Reading +3
Reading +4
Calligraphy +2
Calligraphy +3
…
Because it is a new book, the progress in reading has also increased rapidly.
After a day, the progress on his attribute panel increased a lot.
Name: Chen Yushu
Age: 12
Skill:
Reading: Literacy (64/100), Calligraphy: Self-defense (42/100)
…
"According to this progress, we should be able to improve our literacy skills to 100% within two days.
I just don't know what changes will happen to my reading after I reach 100 points."
Chen Yushu couldn't help but feel excited.
Two days passed in a flash.
Today is the day of the big market in town.
The town closest to Beijiao Village is called Jianghuan Town, which is almost surrounded by a big river. Only the north side, which is their direction, is mountainous.
Because of the well-developed waterways and the large number of ships traveling back and forth, it is relatively prosperous.
The so-called big market is a market formed every once in a while by people from surrounding villages who gather here. Generally, the third and sixth days are small markets, and the ninth day is a big market.
The market is not only crowded with people, but also has a wider variety of rare and exotic goods, and even performances by opera troupes, making it naturally more prosperous.
