Chapter 10 - Chapter Ten Drinking Tea

Li Yan stretched out her hand, and I hesitated for a while——

During this period, Li Yan's face became redder and redder. Seeing that I still didn't answer, her eyes were filled with grievance and sadness. When I actually took the bracelet, she broke into a smile again and thanked me. .

Afterwards, Meng Changqing taught me a set of "soul-moving curse". Although this bracelet can house ghosts, there is one disadvantage. It can come out freely, but it cannot go in by itself. Just go in.

I can't always remember the soul-shifting curse, it really answered Meng Changqing's words, I'm not spiritual, in fact, I also realized this later.

From the day after I brought Li Yan into the Taoist temple, Meng Changqing began to learn some things about Taoism.

Jingming Dao majors in spells and spells, which is different from Quanzhen Dao and other sects.

Meng Changqing said that in the whole of Taoism, there are no more than five majors, namely magic, elixir, physiognomy, Fengshui, and martial arts.

From the beginning of meditation, after worshiping him as a teacher, he would ask me to meditate every morning and evening, and to recite the Eight Great God Mantras.

I was not used to this kind of life at first, but Meng Changqing strongly demanded, and I also rushed to the shelves.

After sitting in meditation for two weeks, I finally couldn't take it anymore, so I said to him, "Master, when will you teach me the method of making a dead man walk?"

Meng Changqing was fiddling with a money sword in front of the incense table. When I asked him to teach me something else, he turned his head and looked at me for a while, and then looked at a teapot on the table. Called out from my wrist: "Li Yan, go and make me a pot of tea, the hot water is on the table, and the tea leaves are in my cabinet."

Li Yan looked at the cabinet, the door was locked, I touched everything in Meng Changqing's room these days, except the cabinet, he didn't let me touch it.

Before I could change my mind, Meng Changqing took out a copper key from his waist and threw it to Li Yan.

Li Yan took the key and was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and hummed, took the key and opened the cabinet to take out a bag of tea leaves, and brewed the pot of tea fluently.

During the tea making, Meng Changqing kept staring at Li Yan, and only after the process was over, Meng Changqing waved to Li Yan: "Hey, come here."

Although Li Yan didn't know what he was going to do, she still moved over slowly. When she reached Meng Changqing, Meng Changqing immediately put on a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to caress the top of Li Yan's head twice. : "The little girl is good at making tea, who did you learn from?"

Li Yan was probably startled by Meng Changqing's actions, she quickly took two steps back and looked at Meng Changqing in a daze, and after confirming that he was not malicious, she said, "I learned it myself."

Meng Changqinglun rounded his mouth and asked again: "Can you cook?"

Li Yan nodded.

Meng Changqing seemed taken aback, and bluffed and said, "Oh, you can cook? Not bad, not bad, really good."

When he said this, Meng Changqing's face clearly had the word "planned" written on it.

After their conversation, the focus naturally fell on me. Meng Changqing fiddled with the incense altar, then walked to my side and said, "You want to learn the seven evil spirit lock formation?"

I hummed, it was too shocking for me to be able to make a dead man stand up and do something.

"How about this, you finish this pot of tea before tonight." He pointed to the pot of tea that Li Yan made just now.

I took a look, the teapot is so small, if I'm thirsty, I can get rid of it in one gulp. What's the point of him asking me to do such a simple thing?

When I was wondering, he said again: "It happens that I have nothing to do today, I will stay here and watch you all the time, you have to drink non-stop, but you can't drink all the tea in the teapot before eight o'clock tonight ."

This time it's my turn to complain, with such a small amount of tea, even if I keep drinking it one drop at a time, it won't take long to finish it, how can I wait until eight o'clock in the evening.

"Master..."

I just yelled, but he stopped me with a slap and said, "Don't call me, if you want to learn, you have to finish it."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, I didn't say much. I picked up the teacup on the table and poured a cup of tea, and then took a sip.

Meng Changqing saw that I drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp, and shook his head: "Don't worry, there's still a lot left in the teapot."

After he finished speaking, he sat across from me, took out a bunch of copper coins and red string and tied up a money sword.

"This copper coin has engravings on the outer circle and the inner square. The circle represents the sky, the square represents the earth, and the characters represent people. It just represents the three talents of heaven, earth and man. In addition, the copper coin has been handed over by thousands of people and is popular. It is a good thing for exorcising evil spirits." Meng Changqing While fiddling with the copper coins in his hand, he said, and then he looked up at me and saw that I hadn't had any tea, and reprimanded me in a harsh voice: "You drink your tea, who told you to listen."

I curled my lips in dissatisfaction, it's just the two of us here, not for me but for anyone else.

Just as he was thinking this way, Meng Changqing looked up at Li Yan who was standing behind him with a smile and said, "Little girl, come and sit next to me, and I will tell you something related to our Taoism."

Li Yan was taken aback for a moment, pointed at herself with her index finger and asked uncertainly, "Me?"

"That's right, that's you." Seeing that Li Yan didn't sit down, Meng Changqing simply stood up and stretched out his hand to give her a hand, and forced her to sit down next to him, making Li Yan blush for a while.

One thing I have to say is that Li Yan is in the state of a soul, and I can't touch her at all, but Meng Changqing can. I discovered this problem the second day Li Yan came to the Taoist temple. I asked Meng Changqing, and his explanation was: "I'm closer to this girl."

After Li Yan sat down, he started chattering again, while I concentrated on drinking tea, tried all kinds of methods, and the pot of tea was finished in only half an hour.

After finishing this pot, Meng Changqing asked Li Yan to make another pot for me. The second pot was better, and it took nearly an hour to finish it.

After I finished drinking, Li Yan brewed it for me again. When it was the fifth pot, Li Yan saw that I couldn't drink any more, so she secretly reduced the tea by half, but was caught by Meng Changqing, who grabbed Li Yan's hand and said : "Little girl, I have been making tea for more than ten years. I can tell by the sound of the tea whether it is full or not. He is from the countryside and has a thick bladder wall. Don't feel sorry for him. Just pour it full for me."

Meng Changqing's speech was extremely indecent. If he didn't look at his face but listened to his voice, he would be regarded as a prodigal son who molested women.

This kind of Meng Changqing is probably different from what Li Yan thinks in her heart. Every time Meng Changqing talks to her in such a voice, she will blush for a while.

This was just a small episode. After that, Li Yan didn't dare to cut corners when pouring tea. She would only ask with concern when she handed me the teapot, "Are you uncomfortable?"

I drank so much that I wanted to throw up, and I went to the toilet several times. It is inevitable to feel uncomfortable, but in order to show my manly side, I shook my head: "Continue!"

It was finally eight o'clock, and Meng Changqing put down the money sword that had already been tied in his hand, looked at me, licked his tongue and shook his head, and said, "Ten Pot...you are terrible."

At this time, I just felt that I could raise fish in my stomach, how could I listen to his words, so I ran to the toilet as soon as it was eight o'clock.

I couldn't sleep peacefully that night, and I still remember Meng Changqing's astonished expression when he woke up the next morning when he looked at the urine stains all over his body... I wet the bed that night, and half of Meng Changqing's bed was wet.

This matter was laughed at by Meng Changqing and Li Yan for several months.

After getting up and finishing morning class the next day, Meng Changqing began to urge me to drink tea again. This day was better, and I only drank six pots.

After three days, I reduced my tea consumption to one and a half pots a day, and it took me another three days to get rid of the remaining half pot.

Six days later, when I ran up to Meng Changqing with an empty teapot, I said excitedly, "I only drank one pot today, so you can teach me the seven evil spirit lock formation now."

Meng Changqing took a look at the teapot in my hand and said indifferently, "It's been a while, but it's not bad. Do something for me tomorrow night. I'll teach you as soon as I finish it."

As soon as I heard that there was still something to do, I immediately became unhappy. Just as I was about to argue, Meng Changqing said, "Don't you really want to know why I can meet a little girl, but you can't?"

The little girl he was talking about was Li Yan. He was in his thirties now, and Li Yan was seventeen years old. It was not awkward to call her a little girl, but Li Yan herself sounded different.

This question is something I have always wanted to know, and as soon as he raised it, he temporarily suppressed my interest in learning the Qisha Soul Locking Formation.

"Why?" I asked quickly.

Seeing that it aroused my interest, he took out a triangular talisman paper made of yellow mounting paper from his pocket.

"Because of this." He waved the thing in front of my eyes.

My eyes followed the talisman paper a few times and asked, "What is this?"

He took apart the talisman paper in front of me, and painted obscure patterns with cinnabar inside.

"If you paste such a talisman, you will be able to touch any ghost, including your sister Li Yan." He put the talisman paper back and said, "People are divided into three or six grades, and talismans are divided into yellow talismans and golden talismans. This cinnabar is also divided into high-grade and low-grade. There is a high-quality cinnabar stone in a tomb on the opposite side of the mountain. You can get it back tomorrow, grind it into powder, and hang it on your body. You can touch your sister Li Yan gone."

"It's that simple?" After what happened to the funeral home last time, I asked again with uncertainty, feeling that he would not be so kind.

"It's that simple."

So, just after dawn the next day, I went out and rushed to the opposite mountain. Li Yan didn't follow me because Meng Changqing didn't allow it.

This mountain is similar to the mountain where Anshun Temple is located, and its structure is similar. I found the tomb with ease.

But when I arrived at the tomb, I was stunned. There were about twenty abandoned tombs in the tomb, arranged in three rows.

The tomb robbers were rampant and dug up all the tombs. The coffins had already rotted away in the wind and rain, leaving only the white bones all over the ground.

Some bones have been deformed due to age and can easily be mistaken for wood.

In the past, people often heard such things in the countryside. They said that someone went out to collect firewood for cooking. After picking up the firewood and putting it in the fire for a while, they found that all the firewood they picked up were human bones, and what was being burned was a skeleton.

This is something in our village, for real!

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the tomb is covered with all kinds of snakes, wriggling together, which looks extremely shocking.

Just by looking at it, I can estimate the number of snakes here, there are about a hundred of them.
