Chapter 897: Learning the Art of Playing Dead
Considering that the remaining 60% of the skills are difficult to modify, it is not something that the junior apprentice can understand with just a few words of guidance. If it is explained too complicatedly, it would be like forcing things to happen, which would be detrimental to the growth of the junior apprentice. Yunzhi thinks it is more convenient to modify it directly by herself.
"Leave the matters of the technique to me."
Hearing that he didn't need to modify his martial arts, Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to have the senior sister around. He didn't even have to worry about his martial arts.
Wait, wasn’t I determined to complete the exercises independently without the help of Senior Sister?
Lu Yang hesitated for a moment and felt that he could not let down the kindness of the senior sister. He decided not to mention the matter again, so as not to alienate the relationship between them. If outsiders knew about it, they would think that he was going to set up his own business.
"Xiao Yangzi, didn't you say that you would complete your skills independently? Why did you give it to Yun girl now?"
“…”
"Well, Xiaoyangzi, why don't you talk?"
Fairy, if you continue asking, you will lose a pillar of the Soybean Dynasty.
In order to divert the Immortal Fairy's attention, Lu Yang quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Fairy, can you comprehend the world by pretending to be dead?"
"Of course not. Playing dead means you enter a state of death, and die immediately. Comprehending the world requires you to enter a state of near-death. These are two different things."
The Immortal Fairy approached Lu Yang with glowing eyes: "Xiao Yangzi, are you interested in the art of pretending to be dead? Do you want to learn it?"
"The art of pretending to be dead is a magic that this immortal is very proud of. If you learn it, you will not suffer any loss. Only my confidants are qualified to learn the art of pretending to be dead."
"Look at Xiao Ling and Lian Yi. Although they are outer disciples, they are deeply loved by this immortal. I made an exception and taught them the art of pretending to be dead."
"Look at Bu Yaolian again. Although he is an inner sect disciple, he has no fate as an immortal. This immortal will not teach him!"
This was the first time Lu Yang heard that there were menial disciples in the inner sect. Do we, the immortal lineage, still need menials? Lu Yang wanted to refuse, as this method of pretending to be dead did not fit his heroic identity as a swordsman. However, looking at the immortal fairy's big watery eyes, he could not bear to refuse.
"Okay, I'll learn."
"Come, call me teacher." The Immortal Fairy said happily. This was the first time that Xiao Yangzi learned magic from her, and she could be considered Xiao Yangzi's teacher.
If Xiao Yangzi is the second generation Dou Emperor, then she is the Emperor's Teacher.
In order to look like a teacher, the Immortal Fairy even put on a loose, dark Confucian robe and held two books in her hands, looking very knowledgeable.
Lu Yang's eyes twitched as he watched, then he thought that if he was going to learn knowledge from the immortal fairy, he should indeed call her teacher.
I had no choice but to follow the student's understanding, bowed and respectfully called out: "Teacher."
"It is not a loss for you to be my disciple. I was the teacher of the barbarians. People respectfully call me the Barbarian Master. If you become my disciple, you will be of the same generation as the barbarians in ancient times. Your generation is much higher."
...So now I am not only Man Gu's senior brother, but also Man Gu's ancestor? "Teacher, can we wait until the senior sister finishes revising the skills before learning the art of pretending to be dead?"
Lu Yang felt that it would be more reliable to have the senior sister by his side to support him.
"OK."
Having just become the Emperor's Master, the Immortal Fairy was in a very good mood and agreed to everything Xiao Yangzi said.
About two hours later, the "Spiritual Transformation Chapter" of "The Art of Enlightenment" was handed to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang read it carefully and felt ashamed of himself. The senior sister's word choice was precise and the sentences were concise, which was far beyond his reach.
Lu Yang could vaguely tell that this was not a set of skills written out of thin air by the senior sister, but a rewrite of an unqualified set of skills written by herself according to her own ideas, which took considerable effort.
When I circulate one large circle according to the method, it is quite smooth without any blockage, which means that this method suits me perfectly.
"Don't worry about the technique. Junior brother, one day you will be able to write a technique without my help."
"I will try my best!" Lu Yang was full of fighting spirit and vowed that he would never let his senior sister worry about compiling the exercises next time!
"Oh, by the way, Senior Sister, the fairy will teach me how to play dead later."
"The art of playing dead?" Yunzhi was also very interested in this spell. The art of playing dead played a big role in Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi being alive until now.
Jiang Lianyi had challenged me before, and even managed to tie with me by pretending to be dead. That was truly a magical skill.
Soon, Mr. Immortal started the class. Lu Yang, as a student, sat upright, while Yun Zhi crossed her legs and drank tea while listening.
"The so-called art of pretending to be dead is a top-notch spell created by this immortal that is related to life and death, time, and cause and effect. It is quite difficult to understand. I remember that Xiao Ling and Lian Yi spent a lot of effort to learn the art of pretending to be dead, and they barely managed to learn it."
"But I think with your talent for magic, Xiao Yangzi, and my guidance, it won't be difficult for you to learn."
"The art of playing dead is a way to deceive the heavens. If you want to deceive the heavens, you must first deceive yourself."
"…You must have a desire to die, a heart as dead as ashes. Only by maintaining this state of mind can you deceive everyone and sever the cause and effect."
"...We must retain a glimmer of hope. This is the key to reviving from the dead."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
When talking about the knowledge she was familiar with, the Immortal Fairy spoke with great enthusiasm and gesticulations. Lu Yang and Yun Zhi were listening attentively, which greatly satisfied the Immortal Fairy's heart as a teacher.
The only shortcoming is that the Immortal Fairy's thinking is very erratic, and sometimes she would wander off to another knowledge point while she is talking.
Fortunately, this was not the first day that Lu Yang knew the Immortal Fairy. He was already familiar with the fairy's way of speaking, so it was easy for him to learn along her lines, saving him a lot of trouble.
"How's it going, Xiao Yangzi, have you learned it?"
"You can give it a try." Lu Yang felt that he had learned most of it and could give it a try.
"Come on, Xiaoyangzi!"
Lu Yang took two deep breaths to calm himself down and block out the Immortal Fairy's shouting so that he could immerse himself in the state of mind of seeking death.
He followed the Immortal Fairy's instruction, practiced his profound skills, and silently recited the incantation, hiding a glimmer of hope in his desire to die.
Lu Yang felt that his consciousness was getting deeper and deeper, and he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes. Finally, everything went black in front of his eyes and he lost consciousness.
"Is this considered a success?" Yun Zhi turned and asked the Immortal Fairy.
The Immortal Fairy, the founder of the art of pretending to be dead, carefully observed Lu Yang's dead appearance and said, "On the surface, it looks quite similar. It would be best if it could be tested."
"for example?"
"For example, when Lianyi used the art of pretending to be dead, Xiaoling used fire to wake her up. You can try it."
Yunzhi raised her hand, and a ball of golden flame appeared in her palm, emitting a terrifyingly high temperature and a breath of destruction. She was struggling over whether to burn her junior brother.
But what if something bad happens? Just as Yunzhi was struggling, a figure rushed over and found Yunzhi.
"Big sister, it's bad, Junior Brother Lu is dead!" Dai Bufan was holding an extinguished soul lamp. When the lamp went out, the person died. He saw Lu Yang's soul lamp went out, and he was so scared that he quickly went to Yunzhi to discuss countermeasures! Then he saw Lu Yang lying on the ground, lifeless, and Big sister holding the golden flame of destruction, trying to grind Lu Yang to ashes.
"Master sister, what are you doing..."
Dai Bufan swallowed his saliva. He had arrived at a murder scene. He quietly retreated and prepared to escape.
Yunzhi hesitated for a moment and explained, "Do you believe me when I say Junior Brother committed suicide?"
Dai Bufan: “…”
Do you think I believe it?
