Chapter 403 Only the heart can be trusted
A few days after returning from Yanyun Mountain, Wei Changtian has been learning the art of escape from Old Zhang.
If the "Star Scabbard" is the only space-related magic weapon he has seen so far, then this escape technique is the only space-related magical power.
"Book of Jin": "Escape techniques, if you see something, you can hide. But earth escape is the quickest, because there is earth everywhere."
The Five Elements Escape Technique, as known in Taoism as the five techniques of immortals to hide themselves by borrowing objects, is divided into five types: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
What Old Zhang has mastered is the "earth escape" technique, which can only be performed when he is standing on the ground.
As long as one puts one's feet on the ground, recites the incantation silently, and lets the internal force circulate in the body in a fixed manner, the person casting the spell and any living thing he touches can be moved instantly.
This magical power sounds very impressive, but in fact it has many harsh conditions for use.
First of all, if you want to perform the art of escape, you must follow the Taoist path of practice.
Secondly, since the internal force must fill the whole body of the practitioner when performing the spell, the practitioner must be a warrior with all sixty-four meridians open.
Obviously, this one thing alone is enough to block 99 percent of practitioners.
At least at present, the only person around Wei Changtian who can meet this condition is Achun, who has a congenital Taoist body. As for Xu Qingwan, Liang Qin, Chu Xianping and others, none of them can meet this condition.
This also made Wei Changtian's idea of "promoting and developing" the art of escape come to nothing.
However, although these people cannot learn it, Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen can.
If he could find an opportunity to teach the two of them the art of escape, they would have an additional means of saving their lives, and Wei Changtian would be more assured about their safety in the capital.
“.”
"Master, my parents also have all sixty-four meridians open."
In the backyard, Wei Changtian, who had just successfully "flashed" to a few feet away, stood still, then approached Old Zhang with a flattering smile on his face: "Can I teach them the art of escape?"
"The Five Elements Escape Technique is a unique skill of the White Palace. Teaching it to you is already an exception."
Old Zhang glared at him angrily: "So as long as I'm here, I will never allow you to do such a thing!"
"clear!"
Wei Changtian nodded nonchalantly: "Then I will wait until you are gone before teaching you!"
“.”
Glancing at Wei Changtian helplessly, Old Zhang said nothing more, which was regarded as his approval of the former's approach.
In fact, from the moment he decided to teach the art of escape to Ah Chun, he had already anticipated that the "leakage of the secret art" was inevitable.
But he did it anyway.
Perhaps this is the last "parting gift" that Old Zhang wants to leave for Wei Changtian.
After all, they were master and disciple, and Wei Changtian had always called him "Master".
“.”
"Listen, each time you perform an escape technique, you need to prepare for it for a long time, so you must be extremely cautious when performing it against an enemy."
Walking slowly to a bluestone and sitting down, Old Zhang said sternly, "Also, the farther you move, the harder it is to control your position. Even the direction will be difficult to control after exceeding a certain distance."
"Just like Ah Chun last time, he was unable to control the direction of his appearance, which is why he was bumped into by you by sheer coincidence."
"So unless you are trying to escape, don't run too far at once, and try not to run more than ten feet."
"besides."
“.”
The afternoon sun was lazy, and Old Zhang, with his eyelids shrugged, explained the "precautions" of the escape technique one by one.
Although he looked very impatient, he spoke very carefully, even repeating some things several times.
Wei Changtian did not interrupt, but stood by and listened until the former had finished speaking, then he smiled and asked, "Master, I understand everything about the escape technique."
"Besides that, do you have anything else to tell me?"
"you"
After brushing off the dust on his clothes, Old Zhang was silent for a while and suddenly sighed.
"Alas, I know you don't really regard me as your master."
"I don't blame you."
"If I were younger, I would probably think the same as you."
"I can only say that you and I have a master-disciple relationship, but not a master-disciple relationship."
"I don't have anything to tell you, but I have one more thing to say. It's the only realization I have in this life."
"I have said this to Master Qin before, but it seems he didn't listen."
"So now you can listen if you want to, and just ignore it if you don't want to."
“.”
Looking at Wei Changtian with a complicated expression, Old Zhang paused for a moment, then said slowly, as if sighing and admonishing:
“Everything in this world is impermanent, ever-changing, unreal and real.”
"If you can't tell the difference between reality and illusion, remember that only your own heart is the most trustworthy."
If you can't see clearly, only your heart can be trusted.
Wei Changtian frowned slightly, and remembered that Old Zhang had indeed said something similar to Qin Zhengqiu.
However, when I say the same words to myself, the meaning seems to be different.
“.”
Without saying anything, Wei Changtian slowly sat down next to Old Zhang.
An old man with white hair and a young man sit and watch the clouds rise and fall.
The sunlight gradually faded from golden yellow, and then mixed with a little orange.
The old and the young sat on the bluestone in silence from afternoon until dusk.
A few wisps of smoke rose sparsely from the front yard, and a lone crane was flying towards the boundless sky.
Tonight the little house is still as peaceful and quiet as usual.
The next morning.
After breakfast, Wei Changtian took Agou and Achun to send Old Zhang all the way out of the city.
The latter had very little luggage. Apart from a few pieces of clothes, all he had was the long sword that had nearly killed "Yan Luo" twice.
Although it no longer has the sharp edge it once had, the sword is still smooth and bright.
But the sword is new and the man has aged, and the man who once traveled around the world with it no longer looks the same as he did in his youth.
“.”
"Okay, let's go back."
Without saying a word, Old Zhang bent down and got into the carriage with a very relaxed expression.
Several Freemasons who were acting as his guards turned their eyes to Wei Changtian, and saw the latter waving his hand in the same relaxed manner.
"Well, let's go."
"Yes! Sir!"
Several Freemasons responded in unison, then mounted their horses, whipped their horses, and escorted the carriage away.
Soon, the group disappeared at the end of the official road, and Wei Changtian turned around to look at Achun and Agou beside him.
Logically speaking, the former's relationship with Old Zhang should not be as deep as the latter's.
But at this moment, the emotions of the two little girls were just the opposite.
Achun, who had only known Old Zhang for a few days, looked reluctant to leave. On the contrary, Agou, who had been with Old Zhang since childhood, looked indifferent.
Are you so careless? Wei Changtian didn't say anything. After standing there for a while, he took the two little girls back to the house in the car.
Although it was still morning when we set out, it was already lunch time when we returned.
Ah Chun hardly ate anything during the meal, while Ah Gou ate with as much relish as before.
"Big Brother! I'm full!"
"I'm going back to my room to take a nap!"
Putting down his chopsticks, patting his swollen belly, Agou skipped out of the dining hall.
She ran briskly back to her room, tiptoed to close the door, took off her shoes and socks, and slowly got into bed.
Lying on the bed with his eyes open, Agou was trying hard to fight his tears.
She didn't dare to blink, took a deep breath, and clenched her hands into fists. But after struggling for a long time, she still couldn't bear it anymore.
"Grandpa."
"Ah, Ah Gou doesn't have a grandfather anymore"
"Wow, wow, wow, I want grandpa, I want grandpa."
“.”
The crying sound hidden under the quilt was a little muffled.
The sunlight poured in from the window, like a big wrinkled hand, gently falling on her.
