"Really?"
When I first heard that Master was going to teach me "Tao techniques", I couldn't believe my ears, afraid that I was hallucinating.
It's not my fault for having such a big reaction. It's really because Master's behavior is too abnormal. In the past eighteen years, I've wanted Master to teach me more than once.
However, every time I was rejected by my master, the reason given was the same. It was nothing more than that my "fate" was too bad!
According to him, the path of cultivation has always had "five disadvantages and three shortcomings". With my fate, being able to live until now is basically a blessing from the heavens.
And if he were to rashly get infected with the "five drawbacks and three deficiencies", the final result would only be a disaster that never came alone.
Now, Master has finally thought it through and promised to teach me the Tao technique. How can I not be happy?
However, even though he said that, in reality, Master didn't teach me anything. He only threw a slightly tattered ancient book in front of me."When you can memorize it without missing a single word, you'll be considered to have basically entered the rudiments!”
"Ah?"
I couldn't help but be dumbfounded when I heard this. After all the fuss, Master's so-called teaching me was just to make me memorize?
"F * ck!"
I cursed in my heart. In the end, I still took this slightly tattered ancient book from my master.
After carefully examining it, I was shocked to discover that the back of the ancient book was actually written in traditional Chinese characters with the words "Five Techniques Classic".
I comforted myself in my heart. No matter what, Master had finally relented. Since he insisted that I memorize this "Five Techniques Classic", then I just had to do it.
Anyway, my memory is not bad. I really don't care about such a thin booklet.
In my opinion, as long as I'm willing to work hard, I'll be able to memorize it word for word in less than a week.
However…
The facts proved that I had overestimated myself. To be precise, I had underestimated the difficulty of understanding the Five Techniques Classic.
My original plan was to memorize it within a week, but the result was that after a week, I barely managed to finish reading it.
"Holy sh * t!"
After a week, I really didn't have the strength to complain. At this speed, let alone a week, even if I was given a month, it would be very difficult for me to memorize it.
Even so, I'm not discouraged!
On the contrary, I was deeply attracted by the contents of the book and was even more unable to extricate myself. Even without Master's urging, I really wanted to memorize it word for word.
However, just as I was immersed in it and almost forgot to eat and sleep, I suddenly received a call from the school. He said that my "admission letter" had arrived and asked me to go to the school to collect it as soon as possible.
It was already afternoon. I had planned to go to school the next morning. Master urged me to go now, saying that he couldn't wait to see my admission notice in advance.
"Alright then! Then I'll set off now!"
I nodded slightly. To be honest, I was also looking forward to it. He didn't think too much about it and reluctantly put down the 'Five Arts Classic' in his hand. He then rushed to the nearby town.
Although it was near, there were still several miles of mountain roads to go. The place where we lived was very remote, dozens of kilometers away from the school in the county, so I had to go to town to catch a bus first.
It was getting late, and he should be able to catch the last bus at this time.
However, just as I arrived at the station in town, I was told that the last bus of the day had a temporary malfunction and would not be able to depart until tomorrow morning.
"F * ck!"
I was speechless in my heart. If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed at home and studied my "Five Techniques Classic"!
Shaking my head helplessly, I could only leave the train station. Just as I was about to return the way I came, a violent roar of a motor suddenly sounded behind me.
"Who the f * ck is this?"
I cursed and quickly dodged to the side.
He turned his head abruptly and realized that a brand new Land Rover had rushed over from the intersection about ten meters away.
Looking at the driver's seat, there was a female driver sitting there. She looked panicked and obviously couldn't control her car.
"Sigh! Another road killer!"
I shook my head with a sigh. For safety reasons, I was about to hide further away when a four or five-year-old child suddenly jumped out from the opposite side of the road!
Perhaps he was scared silly by the speeding Land Rover, the child actually stayed in the middle of the road and was about to be hit by the Land Rover head-on.
"Not good!"
As if it was a conditioned reflex, I didn't have time to think about it at all. I took a big stride forward and rushed over.
Even though I was already quite fast, the Land Rover was clearly faster than me.
I had just hugged the child and didn't have time to dodge. In the next moment, the Land Rover had already appeared in front of me.
In a moment of desperation, I could only carry the child and roll on the ground. Only then did I manage to avoid the Land Rover's crushing. In the end, the rear wheels of the car almost brushed past my clothes and rushed over!
Creak!
The Land Rover sped past for another ten meters, leaving a long tire mark on the ground before it finally stopped.
"Wow!"
It was only now that the child seemed to have reacted and burst into tears.
"Goudan!"
The passers-by immediately surrounded me, including the parents of the children. They thanked me profusely and knocked on the window of the Land Rover crazily, cursing non-stop.
I was also very angry in my heart. I returned the child in my hand to his mother and prepared to go up and argue with him.
"Hmm?"
However, at this moment, I couldn't help but frown. I keenly sensed that there was an extremely venomous gaze staring at me from behind!
That feeling made me very uncomfortable, and even made my hair stand on end. It was as if I was being stared at by a poisonous snake!
"No!"
I cried out in alarm, and my heart couldn't help but tighten. I turned around, only to hear a 'swoosh' sound as a black shadow flashed past in front of me.
The place where the black shadow flashed was actually the place where the child had jumped out just now!
I subconsciously thought of a possibility. After all this trouble, that child didn't appear in the middle of the road for no reason. It seemed that he was pushed out by someone?
To be exact, the person who suddenly pushed him into the middle of the road was not a human, but a ghost!
"Come out!"
Amid his bewilderment, Goudan's indignant father had already picked up the brick from the ground and was about to smash it at the Land Rover's window, forcing the female driver out of the car.
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing this scene, I was shocked. I took a big step forward and quickly stopped him."Calm down! You can't blame her for this!"
Judging from the female driver's reaction just now, she should have also fallen into the ghost's trap, so she was probably not to blame for this.
"Hmm?"
He frowned slightly. Goudan's father was obviously extremely angry. He stopped because I was his son's savior.
Otherwise, with his current "furious" appearance, I'm afraid he would even want to beat me up.
Even so, his attitude was still not very good. He glared at me on the spot and shouted,"What do you mean? Are you trying to protect her?"
"I really didn't do it on purpose!"
The female driver was hiding in the car. She was obviously shocked by the scene in front of her. After hearing what I said, she reacted and hurriedly explained,"I just…"
"Humph!"
Goudan's father was still in a fit of anger, so how could he listen to her explanation? He snorted coldly. If I hadn't stopped the car, the brick in his hand would have smashed into the car window.
"Phew…"
Taking a deep breath, I quickly gave the female driver a look to stop her from talking. Then, I said to Goudan's father,"It's not that I want to protect her, but she really can't be blamed for this!”
"To be honest, your child must have been pushed into the middle of the road by something! That's why…"
"Don't lie to me!"
Before I could finish, Goudan's father interrupted me and retorted,""I remember very clearly that there was no one on the other side of the road except for my Goudan!”
"Yes, sir!"
I subconsciously nodded. Not only did I not refute his words, but I also generously admitted it."That's right! There was indeed no one else on the other side of the road just now!”
"Because your Goudan wasn't pushed out by someone, but a ghost!”
