I want to cultivate swordsman

When the second uncle came back, it was already evening.

Through my aunt's mouth, I learned what happened at home.

He seemed very proud that his nephew was able to earn 20 taels of silver from Sun Dabao, and kept praising him with the help of alcohol.

I just told Xu Zhiqiu not to always rely on this way to make money, it was too dangerous.

The reason is the same as my aunt's, and it's still the old saying: if you often walk by the river, your shoes will never get wet.

In the eyes of his uncle and aunt, Xu Zhiqiu is just like what the old Taoist Xuan Yunguan said, his cultivation base has been abolished, and he can no longer enter the immortal way to practice.

If this is the case, Second Uncle Xu doesn't even know how to explain to his dead brother.

As for the dead chicken being thrown away at home, the second uncle was very angry. After eating, he found an iron rod from the barn, and planned to guard the yard all night to see which bastard did it.

But in the end, I only persisted until halfway through Haishi and couldn't help going back to the house, because I woke up early this morning and was really sleepy and tired.

Another half hour passed.

The time has come to Twelfth Hour.

Seeing the darkness and silence in the courtyard, Xu Zhiqiu used the old method to leave the small courtyard again, and went to the Songhu Forest in the county seat alone.

Pine and Tiger Forest is a small forest with a remote location and many cemeteries, so few people usually appear here.

When Xu Zhiqiu came near the forest, he saw that two portable lanterns had been lit at the entrance of the forest.

With the help of the light, one can see that the figure carrying the lantern is Zhao Liangcai and Shaobing.

The two of them squatted side by side on the ground, their bodies trembling slightly, and they didn't know whether they were frozen by the cold wind or frightened.

Xu Zhiqiu walked over without making a sound. When he came behind the two, the other party still didn't notice and was still whispering:

"Master, it's been so long, do you think that fairy will come?"

"Should be, young master, how can I know."

"Then what if the immortal doesn't come?"

"Shut your crow's mouth, Shaobing, if you really hit the mark, I will definitely break your dog's legs."

"Master, I'm not afraid of being interrupted by you. I'm just afraid that there are ghosts in this forest. If you say we should bring more people here, what if something happens in the middle of the night?"

"Stop talking nonsense, don't you want to bring more people as my young master..."

"Hush, young master, don't talk, why did I hear movement behind me, could it be..."

"Then you should look back!"

"But I don't dare, young master, I'm afraid. I heard from the old people before that there are many cemeteries buried under the Pine Tiger Forest. You can't turn around and look around in the middle of the night."

"You idiot, why don't you ask the young master to look back in person!"

Click.

At this moment, the sound of a dead branch being stepped on and broken suddenly sounded, causing the two of them to scream in unison.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

"Ghosts, goblins, go away! Goblins, goblins, go away!"

After shouting for a long time, I didn't feel any danger.

It wasn't until the voice was almost hoarse that the master and servant mustered up the courage to look back secretly.

"It's a fairy!"

"It's Master!"

After they saw clearly that Xu Zhiqiu appeared behind them, the horror on their faces was immediately replaced by joy, and they all had a funny expression of the survivors after a catastrophe.

Zhao Liangcai gasped a few times and stood up from the ground.

"Master, you scared me to death. I thought it was a grave ghost in the forest."

He brushed off the soil stained on his clothes with his palm, and said this with an affectionate attitude, he was a completely different person from the last time we met.

Hearing his address, Xu Zhiqiu was slightly stunned, narrowed his eyes and said, "When did I become your master?"

Zhao Liangcai pretended to be stupid and said in a daze: "Master, after you left last night, I was dreaming all night. In the dream, you said that you would take me as an apprentice, but I agreed without thinking about it. Really, I didn't hesitate at all. In a dream, but I heard from a fortune teller that this may be a destiny, so..."

The more he talked about the back, the lower the voice, and it was almost like raving in the end.

Xu Zhiqiu couldn't help feeling a little funny when he heard these remarks, but he stopped, shook his head and said: "I think you must have misunderstood, I am not some kind of fairy, I am just an ordinary person who knows a little bit about exorcising ghosts. Just a monk."

Understand a little bit?

Ordinary monk?

Zhao Liangcai thought of the scene where the red-clothed female ghost was played into a mess last night, and decided that Xu Zhiqiu was a great master.

And a very tall man.

He had read in the book that the more low-key a person is, the more powerful he is.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Master will definitely become a fairy in the future, it's just a matter of time."

The biscuit beside him also echoed: "Yes, Immortal, you will definitely be able to ascend in the daytime in the future. My young master has always been very accurate in judging people. Even the fortune teller said that he is ashamed."

After finishing speaking, Shaobing took out five silver bills from his pocket, each worth a hundred taels of silver.

Together it is 500 taels.

Enough for ordinary people to be rich for a lifetime.

And can buy five houses in Lin'an County.

With such wealth, even Xu Zhiqiu couldn't help but feel a little moved.

After taking out the banknote, Shaobing bowed and presented it in front of Xu Zhiqiu, and said respectfully: "Immortal, this is my young master's apprenticeship ceremony, a small kindness is not a respect, and I hope the immortal will not dislike it."

Xu Zhiqiu glanced at the bank note, but remained silent.

Zhao Liangcai was a little impatient, and hurriedly took out another 200 taels of silver notes from his pocket.

A total of 700 taels.

The money can already buy a nice yard in Fucheng.

Is this what the rich do?

Really amazing.

Xu Zhiqiu sighed softly in his heart, and then said in a calm and usual tone: "Put away the bank notes, don't waste any more time, if you miss the time and don't get rid of the ghost, you two can bear the consequences by yourself. "

Do it at your own risk.This sentence immediately made Zhao Liangcai's face turn pale, and Shaobing even shivered.

Both of them have been raped by female ghosts, so they naturally know what the consequences will be.

Immediately, he didn't dare to say any more, for fear of offending Xu Zhiqiu, he quickly stuffed the bank note back into his pocket.

Seeing that the two of them finally calmed down, Xu Zhiqiu began to draw the magic circle on the spot.

The magic circle he wanted to portray was the basic magic circle he had learned in Qingyang Sect.

It's called "Spirit Array".

It is a magic circle specially used to deal with ghosts and monsters. It does not require heaven, material and earth treasures. As long as you put objects related to ghosts and monsters in the eye of the circle, you can restrain ghosts in place after they appear.

There is only one disadvantage, that is, it can only trap ghosts below the sixth level of Qi training environment.

And the time is only one stick of incense.

Therefore, it is classified as the most basic low-level magic circle.

Xu Zhiqiu knew a lot about Shuling Formation. After all, it was a daily compulsory course when he was in Qingyangzong, so the speed of drawing was very fast.

About a quarter of an hour later, the magic circle was completely completed.

Zhao Liangcai and Shaobing stared in bewilderment at the magic circle with a diameter of two feet and dense lines and patterns in front of them, not knowing what to do.

At the same time, the awe of Xu Zhiqiu was raised to a higher level.

Xu Zhiqiu turned around and asked, "Did you bring the jade hairpin?"

Zhao Liangcai nodded immediately: "I brought it, I brought it, it's in the package."

As he spoke, he opened the package that had been placed on the ground before. There were quite a lot of things inside, including a box for hiding jade hairpins, a fine mahogany sword, black dog blood filled with pig bladders, and more than a dozen yellow cards. symbol.

Zhao Liangcai took out the jade hairpin, handed it to Xu Zhiqiu, and then took the yellow Taoist talisman and said, "This is a magic talisman I bought from a fortune teller during the day, and I don't know if it will be useful or not."

Xu Zhiqiu glanced at it and asked, "How much money did you spend?"

Zhao Liangcai said: "Not much, just five taels of silver. I heard from that gentleman that as long as you hide the evil spirit charm on your body, you will not be disturbed by ghosts."

The corners of Xu Zhiqiu's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he said, "After you go back, you can ask someone to throw that fortune teller into the cell."

Zhao Liangcai was taken aback by these words, and immediately realized that he had been cheated, and couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

"What about the black dog blood?"

"The blood of the black dog can only be effective against wild ghosts in the Wandering Soul Realm, but not against evil spirits."

"Ah? Doesn't that mean that all these preparations are in vain?"

"That's not the case at all." Xu Zhiqiu took out the four-foot-long mahogany sword from the package, and said, "This wooden sword is not bad, and it should be helpful in dealing with evil spirits."

"Since that's the case, then master just take it and use it."

Zhao Liangcai saw that there was finally an item that worked, he couldn't help but exhaled, and then he said as if to claim credit: "I bought this at a high price from a merchant who said that this sword is made of 200-year-old peach wood. , has the ability to ward off evil spirits."

Xu Zhiqiu nodded slightly and did not refute, as he recognized the value of the wooden sword.

The 200-year-old mahogany wood is actually not a rare thing, but the mahogany wood used in the wooden sword in front of me is not just that, it must have been bombarded by thunder, and the surface of the sword is covered with a layer of purple that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. It has a natural restraint effect on ghosts.

Xu Zhiqiu picked up the mahogany sword and swung it, which was considered a handy weapon.
