Chapter 258 Only Death Can Be Chosen
"As for whether she collaborated with others, I don't know. I can tell you one thing: I did use magic to steal the safe, but I didn't get the key. One of your people is Alan."
Regardless of whether Bai Yangfan asked questions or not, the old Taoist continued to speak to himself: "The plan is that I will use magic to make the guard fall asleep, and then the door will be opened. The five ghosts will move the safe away, and then that person will go and lock the door, making it look like the door has never been opened.
In fact, the door had been opened before. It was impossible for such a large and heavy safe to slip out from under the door for no reason. Besides, the door was tight and had no cracks.
If you want to find out, you should find the man who opened the door for me. He is the one who matters. I am only a thief who stole with the help of others.
Hearing this, Bai Yangfan looked thoughtfully at the old Taoist on the hospital bed. Seeing that he was silent, he answered the question he had asked earlier: "I understand animal language."
His gaze stayed on Bai Yangfan's face. The old Taoist's eyes lit up and dimmed, dimmed and lit up again, as if he was struggling with something.
After a while, he slowly said: "Your ability is beyond my expectation. There are not many people as young as you who can understand animal language. Don't show this ability easily in the future.
Your sword is no ordinary sword, it's a divine sword, and a sword spirit must reside within it. Although you can't communicate with it with your consciousness yet, it can already understand your meaning, which is amazing.
Things like this need to be protected and not easily exposed. This society is very dark. There are some organizations abroad that specialize in recruiting people with special abilities. If your abilities are really discovered, I am afraid you will be unable to control yourself in the future."
Bai Yangfan did not refute the old Taoist's words. She grew up abroad in her previous life and knew very well what kind of dark organizations there were.
I also know the methods used by those exotic hunting organizations, and they will do anything to get the prey they want.
"Why are you telling me this?" He asked directly, feeling strange and experienced.
"You are still a member of my Maoshan Sect, even though I betrayed my sect and became a black Taoist priest. After all, we have some connection." The old Taoist's voice was weak and low, as if he was on the verge of death. "Your master is called Xuan Di, the same Taoist name as mine. I am afraid that you are young and might be bewitched and used by others.
I've told you everything I know, and I've also given you the spell to remove the safe's enchantment. Listen to me. Don't be distracted, listen carefully. With your intelligence, you should be able to memorize it after just one hearing."
The Taoist's suggestion was beyond Bai Yangfan's expectations. Since he was willing to teach, she would naturally study hard. Regardless of whether what the Taoist taught was true or not, it would not hurt to learn it.
It doesn't matter if she can't break the barrier, she will find another way to break it.
The old Taoist slowed down his speech and recited the spell again, then looked at Bai Yangfan and asked, "Do you remember it?"
"I remember."
"Then I'll teach you the spell to set up the barrier."
Bai Yangfan was surprised by Hei Laodao's words and asked, "Why?"
"Because we're destined to be together." The old Taoist forced a painful smile on his thin face. "I'm going to die. Even if the gunshot wound isn't serious, I don't want to live anymore. The mission failed. Even if I'm not imprisoned and am released, that woman Alan won't let me go.
Rather than living in such pain, it's better to close your eyes and live in peace. I'm passing on my lifelong learning to you. I believe you won't do anything as harmful as I did. Little girl! I don't expect you to remember me as your master. Just remember Xuan Di.
Listen carefully! I will teach you one sentence at a time. You should practice diligently in the future. Working in a unit like this, you must have some means of self-protection. What your master taught you and what I taught you are two different things, but we both share the same Dao name: Xuan Di.
Bai Yangfan felt like she was going crazy. Xuan Di was just a random fabrication by her, he wasn't her master, so why did this old black Taoist priest so unilaterally believe that they were destined to be together?
If there really is a connection, it's a bad connection, okay?
They were originally in an opposing relationship. They were fighting fiercely yesterday and wished each other to die. How could their relationship change just one day?
Isn't this too much of a joke?
Seeing the little girl's tangled face, the old Taoist's gray eyes were dim and dull: "I know you don't understand my operation, but it's actually my selfishness. I want to pass on all my life's learning to you.
When I first secretly learned these forbidden techniques, I had no intention of harming anyone; I was simply curious. When the elders discovered this, they expelled me from the Maoshan Sect, and I could barely survive in the country.
Later, I went abroad. Facing language barriers and the difficult situation of making my way, I had to betray my original intention and gradually lost myself. Even though I had always wanted to use magic to make myself rich, I ultimately failed.
Years later, I realized that some things are simply destined and cannot be changed. People who consistently commit evil will never have a good ending, even if I robbed a bank vault.
In the end, not even a single banknote could find its way into my pocket, and I was left penniless by various unexpected circumstances. I passed on this technique to you not to encourage you to commit evil like me, but to give you an additional layer of self-protection.
In a pinch, you might be able to use them to save your own life. Little girl! Listen to me, remember the spells I recite carefully, and learn them well.
After saying this, the old Taoist priest, regardless of whether Bai Yangfan was willing or not, began to recite the spell slowly, one sentence at a time. After reciting it, he would explain to her what the spell was for, and for some of the finger gestures that required it, he would stretch out his hands and perform the movements with difficulty.
After imparting all he had learned throughout his life, Hei Laodao smiled contentedly: "Whether you admit it or not, you are my disciple. I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to be punished, so I can only choose death.
Find a place to bury me after I die! I have no father, no mother, no children. You are a disciple of the Maoshan Sect, so you should know that most of the disciples in our sect are orphans. You are an orphan too, right?
Bai Yangfan was shocked and belatedly remembered the question her master had asked her when she first met him in her previous life: "Do you have parents?"
"No."
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
"No."
"Are you an orphan?"
"yes!"
"Then I will accept you as my apprentice."
She remembered the whole process very clearly and found it strange.
Could this be the characteristic and requirement of the Maoshan Sect for accepting disciples? They will only accept orphans without parents.
"Remember the bee tattoo on my left hand." The old Taoist raised his left hand to show Bai Yangfan, "This is the symbol of the Alanweng tribe. If you meet someone with a bee tattoo on their left hand in the future, stay away from them.
Those who bear this mark are the lackeys and minions of the Alanwong tribe. Ordinary people do not have this mark. Take this gold earring from my left ear and keep it. It is the only souvenir I can leave you.
