I actually already possessed the power of a Patriarch?
Old Blind Man's words left me a little stunned, as I didn't feel that powerful at all.
"Master, you are not joking, right?"
At that moment, I looked at the old blind man and couldn't help but was skittish.
"Hey, do you think that spirit marrow of yours is for nothing?" The old blind man laughed when he heard my words, then he frowned slightly and calculated with his fingers, then he said to me: "This is good, I have a big evil behind me, at least you have nothing to do during this period of vacation, why not go with me to travel and experience a bit, this way, you also have a good long experience, in addition I can also give you some guidance on the method of spiritual transformation. "
"Master, it's almost New Year's Eve, and you're going on a trip?" I looked at the old blind man and asked, a little puzzled.
"There are no years and no festivals for monks, although Master has returned to secularism, but he is still not too fond of these mundane things, so it doesn't matter whether this New Year is celebrated or not, if you are attached to your home and don't want to go, then Master can go by himself." As the old blind man spoke, he got up and began to pack his things, in the condition that he was about to leave immediately.
When I saw this, I hastily called my parents to come over. When they came over and saw that the old blind man was leaving again, they could not help but feel a little anxious.
"My parents came over and found that the old blind man was leaving again. It's already the twentieth day of the Lunar New Year, where else are you going?"
As my mother spoke, she snatched the things out of the old blind man's hand.
He stood up straight and said to my parents with a serious face, "Xiao Liu, don't stop me, I'm not asking for trouble, I really have something big to do.
Hearing this, my parents were a bit puzzled and asked, "Sir, what can be so important at this time of the year?"
"The old blind man stroked his beard, tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then said to my parents, "Well, you should hurry up and pack up for the first trace too, we have to leave now, otherwise we will miss the time."
After all, in their eyes, the old blind man was an immortal, so once he got serious, they didn't dare to stop him.
At that moment, my parents worked together to pack a big bag of things for me, food and drink, change of clothes and so on, making it look like I was going to escape.
Of course, apart from the stuff for me, they also prepared a lot of stuff for the old blind man, which I had to carry on my back, which made me depressed.
When we were ready, Old Blind Man and I left the house.
"One Trace, lead the way for me," Old Blind Man said as he handed me the end of his dog beating stick and asked me to lead him.
This left me a little helpless, for how could I have the hands to lead him when I was holding something in my hand? So at once I said to him, "Master, where exactly are you going? Isn't it too slow for us to walk like this? Why don't I go home and get my bike and we'll go by bicycle?"
When he heard my words, the old blind man shook his head and said, "No, a fortune-teller has to walk so that he can be grounded and popular."
"Then I'll be killed. Master, come and feel for yourself, these things weigh at least a hundred pounds, not to mention leading you, just carrying these things is enough to sink me." As I spoke, I walked over to the old blind man and wanted him to feel the things I was carrying.
However, the old blind man smiled and shook his head at the same time, and then he walked forward, saying to me, "A hundred pounds of stuff is too heavy for you? Do you think the secret technique I taught you is a fake?"
"That thing mainly practices internal breath, it has nothing to do with endurance, right?" I followed along as I carried the thing, gasping for breath.
"That's why I want you to follow me out to wander around and experience a bit, because your mastery of this secret art is simply not even at the beginning yet, if you don't believe me, start walking while running that secret art from now on and see if you will still feel strained," the old blind man said to me.
When I heard this, I was a bit puzzled, so I said to the old blind man, "Didn't you say so, Master? It seems that the secret technique can only be used when you are meditating and concentrating ..."
"Can't you meditate and concentrate when you walk?" The old blind man asked me rhetorically.
"I can, but my vital energy is limited, so if I keep consuming it, I guess I won't be able to support it for long even if I rely on the Spiritual Birth Secret Technique," I said with a frown.
"You'll know if you try it, that technique not only consumes your own power, but also draws essence from the world around you, you have to learn to use the Qi of Qiankun to do so." When the old blind man said this, he paused for a moment and said, "Besides, you have too much Yang energy and too much essence in your body now, you can't even use it up, so what's the fear of consumption?"
"When I saw what the old blind man said, I took a deep breath, then I meditated and concentrated, and started to operate the secret technique of the Spiritual Birth while carrying the object forward.
After I tried it, I felt that my strength had multiplied and the load on my shoulders was not as heavy as before.
"I couldn't help but call out to the old blind man, full of joy, but as soon as I did so, I instantly lost my power, and then the heavy things came down so hard that they almost knocked me down.
"Oops--" I let out a cry of surprise, and hurriedly gritted my teeth and put forth my strength to carry the things, then hurriedly continued to run the Spiritual Birth Secret Art, keeping my spirit in a calm state, not daring to look around and shout anymore.
"The old blind man was listening to my movements while he was walking, and when he saw that I had entered a state of mind again, he said to me, "Remember, life is a practice everywhere, and life is a path. If you want to achieve something on this path, you have to remember a few principles, one is not to be arrogant, not to be impatient, to be modest, to be tolerant in everything, the second is to be calm, not to shout all the time, that is a very bad style, and is not conducive to training the mind. Otherwise, it will be greatly detrimental to your cultivation."
"Aigoo..."
As the old blind man was speaking, I let out another miserable cry, for I had broken my power again, for no other reason than that I had heard the third one, which had poked me right in the heart.
At the sight of my condition, the old blind man smiled faintly, shook his head and did not speak again.
"Master," I said a moment later, gritting my teeth and following, unable to stop myself from coming up to him, wanting to say something.
"If you have something to say, say it," the old blind man said to me.
"So, in our line of work, about how long do we have to be that, that broken body?" I asked, a little embarrassed.
"The later the better, and the better to remain a child for life if you can," the old blind man said back.
"Wouldn't that be an extinction?" I queried.
"What are you afraid of? Find someone else to give birth for you, won't that be enough?" The old blind man laughed.
"How can you find someone else to do this for you?" I felt that the old blind man was a bit of a pest.
"How can't I?" When he heard this, the old blind man was full of disdain and said, "If your own children are all here to ask for debts, it's useless to raise them, and raising other people's children just happens to be a good deed, so wouldn't it be two birds with one stone?"
"This-" I was stunned by this astounding theory of his.
"Well, don't think too much about it, I'm deliberately scaring you for fun," seeing that I didn't say anything, the old blind man then grunted and laughed and told the truth, which finally made me feel relieved inside.
"That, Master, you know how to tell fortunes, then you can help me to calculate, to see when I will break and approximately how many children I will have? Who is that, that daughter-in-law of mine, roughly?" At that moment, I caught up with the old blind man, not feeling a burst of curious enquiry.
