Section 045, Sealing the Soul [1]
After Xiaobai finished speaking, he flapped his wings and flew away, regardless of the cold light that killed people in Liu Shoucai's eyes. After laughing enough, he went back to the room to get the prepared books. Liu Shoucai was too lazy to think about his name again, so he could only borrow the few names that Xiaobai had chosen.
"You all work harder. After the competition next month, you will have your own good, majestic and domineering name. Now this name is used as your encouragement, so you all have to work hard. Also, after the competition next month, the last name will be even more embarrassing than it is now. After going out, you must call it in front of others, so if you don't want to be embarrassed, you must work hard."
"Yes, master, we will definitely work hard and we won't let you look down on me."
The old man and the others immediately answered, and Liu Shoucai nodded with satisfaction. He was becoming more and more satisfied with these children. It seemed that recruiting apprentices this time was not a bad thing. Just when Liu Shoucai nodded to them with satisfaction, the door outside the yard was knocked.
Liu Shoucai walked out curiously. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhier looking at him with a cold face. He was still holding a kitchen knife in his hand, as if he wanted to fight hard with him. Seeing Zhier like this, Liu Shoucai was also angry.
"What? What are you trying to do? Do you have to fight me to the death? You don't need your mind to think about it. Did you harm your family? I have helped you so much, but you are so heartless. I wouldn't bother with you if I had known it."
"I kill you……"
Zhier screamed, lifted the knife and slashed at Liu Shoucai. Liu Shoucai turned around and hid in the yard. When the apprentices in the yard saw that their master was being chopped with a knife, they immediately watched it, but no one dared to approach, for fear of being injured.
"You guys stay away so that this madman won't hurt you."
Liu Shoucai turned his head and saw Lao Yi and the others standing behind him watching. Liu Shoucai hurriedly signaled them to retreat. It was not that Liu Shoucai was unable to protect those children, but that Liu Shoucai didn't want to see his disciples stunned.
Hearing the words from his master, Lao Yi and the others quickly retreated. Badou also came out of the house at this time. Seeing Zhi'er holding a knife in his hand, Badou felt angry, so he threw away the book in his hand and ran towards Zhi'er.
As soon as Zhi'er lifted the knife, he was kicked away by the rushing Badou. Zhi'er also recovered a little bit of consciousness at this time, but he still couldn't let go of his hatred for Liu Shoucai because he was really stubborn, so he shirked all his resentment on Liu Shoucai.
"Zhi'er, I think you're really crazy. It's all because of you, that your father killed himself. If you don't check it yourself, you're actually here to find my benefactor. You really know how to repay your father with kindness! I think you feel ashamed of your father after you die? Your father was forced to death by you, not someone else. Don't forget what you scolded your father the day before yesterday. All the villagers were there at that time. Do you want me to call the villagers over to confront you?"
Badou yelled out directly, Zhi'er looked pale, and he quickly covered his ears. He didn't want to face this problem. He just wanted to kill Liu Shoucai, but Badou's words made him very painful, and everything was caused by him.
Seeing that Zhi'er covered his head and ran away, Liu Shoucai sighed. He was speechless to Zhi'er. Why can't this child get out of the devil in his heart? It seems that his resentment with his father had not come out before. Everything was just an illusion.
"What are you going to do now?"
Badou looked at the children in the yard, then turned to ask Liu Shoucai.
"What else can I do? Keep going to class! This is just a small episode. When I see the madman in the future, I don't bother to worry about anything with him. It's so unlucky."
Liu Shoucai snorted coldly and threw the kitchen knife that Zhier had thrown in his yard out of the door. Xiaobai, who had just returned, was almost cut by the kitchen knife. He was so scared that he quickly waved his wings and clamored.
"Gee, meow, meow, wow, Liu Shoucai, you are the one who wants to murder me. Look, I'm not going to kill you with just one wing."
Xiaobai shouted and rushed towards Liu Shoucai. He was disgusted by Zhi'er just now. Now Xiaobai is like this again. Liu Shoucai only feels that he is really lucky today. Fortunately, Ba Dou is blocking Liu Shoucai.
"Okay, Xiaobai, you're just making trouble without asking the reason. Really, Brother Liu didn't do it on purpose. Who knew you would come back at this time? Zhi'er came just now, and he was going to chop Brother Liu with a kitchen knife. Then Brother Liu taught him a lesson. He threw the kitchen knife in our yard. Brother Liu was disgusted, so he wanted to throw it out, but he didn't expect you to come back."
"I've said it earlier! Really, I thought you really wanted to commit murder."
After Xiaobai learned the real situation, he calmed down. The children in the yard looked at Liu Shoucai and the others in shock at this time. They had seen what had happened just now with their own eyes. They didn't expect that their master would be so powerful, and their eyes were filled with worship.
"Okay, come in first! Those children are still watching."
Liu Shoucai calmed down at this time. He withdrew his emotions and closed the door. After the children stood up again, Liu Shoucai asked them to squat horse stance first. The squat horse stance was just the first step, in order to make their lower plate stable enough.
To practice, you must have good physical strength, and when you go out to fight, you also need some punching skills, because people like them are not all facing ghosts alone. Many times, they still have to face people.
The five children officially learned martial arts from Liu Shoucai and Badou. A month passed in a flash. In this month, none of the five children were called tired, and their adaptability was very strong, so Liu Shoucai was even more satisfied with them.
Zhi'er hasn't been here again this month, but Liu Shoucai always feels a little uncomfortable, and seems to have a bad premonition. However, nothing has happened in the past month, so he felt a little relieved.
"Today is your test. Of course, I have already drafted five names now. However, if you still think that the first and second brothers are good and easy to remember, you can continue to use this name. However, those who win can use the beginning name. Xiaowu's name is the last one."
"Master, then use the names of Lao Yi and Xiao Wu! We are used to calling them, and we also think that the name is more intimate and more like the names of brothers."
"Yes, Master, I think this name is good, too."
"Master, don't change your name. We all think it's best to call it like this. The winner is our boss. We think it's very motivated."
Seeing that the children wanted to use their original names, Liu Shoucai nodded in agreement. In fact, he didn't want to change their names, because after changing their names, he was afraid that he would not remember them.
"Okay, since you all agree, let's listen to you. The formation needed to be used for the competition has been prepared for the master. This formation is carried out with your illusion. One of you has to deal with the other four people. The longer you persist, the older brother, and then according to this, the last one will naturally be Xiaowu."
"The master is wise."
"Master, I think this method is good. In this way, no one can cheat, and they can also test their true level. The disciples are convinced."
"Okay, the competition begins now, you can enter the formation!"
After Lao Yi and Xiao Wu and the others entered the formation together, Liu Shoucai activated the formation. As soon as the formation was activated, the children disappeared from Liu Shoucai and the others. Liu Shoucai and Badou Xiaobai each moved a chair and sat aside to drink tea and eat fruits.
Ten minutes later, the child who originally called Lao San came out first. Seeing that he was the first to come out, the third child immediately showed a depressed expression. Seeing that Lao San looked sad, Liu Shoucai didn't walk over and called him over directly.
"San'er, you also saw that you lost this time, but this does not mean that you will always be the loser. This is just the first competition. Today next month, you can also win back all the humiliation today, do you understand?"
"Yes, master, disciples will definitely not disappoint the master."
The third brother quickly regained his energy. Seeing that the third brother was no longer sad, Liu Shoucai continued to look into the formation. Because Liu Shoucai had tears on his eyes, he could see what was happening in the formation.
After a while, Lao Yi came out. When Lao Yi came out, he and Lao Yi were outside when he saw him. His face immediately became ugly. He didn't expect that he would be the second last. Fortunately, he had occupied Lao Yi's name for so long, so Lao Yi's expression was naturally seen by Liu Shoucai.
"What? Do you feel that losing is embarrassing? In fact, it is not scary to lose. What's scary is that you don't work hard after losing. You have another competition. It doesn't matter if you lose this time, but won next time, isn't it enough? If you lose five times in a row, it's really helpless."
Liu Shoucai's words caused a rippling ripples in the hearts of Lao Yi and Lao San. Perhaps it was Liu Shoucai's encouragement this time. They practiced diligently in their future lives, and did not even have any scammers. It was precisely because of Liu Shoucai's encouragement at this time that they became the most powerful venerables in the world in the future. Of course, this is all a story.
Just when Liu Shoucai was talking to Lao Yi and Lao San, the fourth and second brother also came out. They were brothers, but now they didn't look too ugly when they came out. After all, Lao Yi and Lao San came out the first, but Liu Shoucai still gave them some lectures.
Xiao Wu was the last one to come out, so he was also the winner in this competition. Seeing Xiao Wu's excited look, Liu Shoucai praised him without hesitation, and then gave Xiao Wu a lecture, with the purpose of not making him proud and complacent.
The names were redistributed, and Xiaowu became the first and third became the fifth. After redistributed the names, each of them had a sense of maturity on their faces. After this competition, they also had a new understanding of each other.
"Okay, in this competition, you all have their own growth. I hope you will work harder next time and strive to get a good result next time. Those who win this time are not allowed to be proud and complacent. Otherwise, the next time, you will lose. You must keep breaking your limits so that you can grow up as soon as possible. Remember?"
“Yes, Master.”
The five disciples agreed loudly, and Liu Shoucai saw that it was already noon, so he asked them to go home. The half-day in the afternoon was also used as their rest, because after the last day of the month, the remaining half-day was rest, and they also regarded it as their respective rewards.
"I didn't expect those kids to be really good. I saw that little boy... No, Lao Yi, his performance in the formation was really great. He actually beat four of them at one time, and he won. This kid is really amazing in the future."
"I don't think that the one who lost, I think he will be the final winner. His demeanor and his ability to accept blows are all very powerful. And I can feel a sense of domineeringness and firmness from him. I think he will definitely become a big shot that everyone admires in the future."
"I hope so! In fact, no matter which of them succeeds, we cannot deny that we are their masters. Now we teach them well and that if they succeed in the future, that is also our credit. This is the truth that no one can change."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense anymore. I'm very worried about that old man now. Have you ever seen his arrogant eyes just now, and there seems to be a look of contempt for others?"
"Huh? I remembered it as soon as you said this, but he was only for a moment. I thought I had read it wrong, but this should not be too worried. After all, he just won. If he lost because of his arrogance in the next competition, he would naturally not be proud anymore, so we don't have to worry too much."
Xiaobai was not worried about it, but Liu Shoucai didn't think so. He always felt that the old man he won seemed to be a little wrong, but he couldn't say something was wrong. In short, the look he had just revealed was very strange.
"Okay, don't think too much, just think about what to eat later! It's been a few days since there has been no business coming. Are we really going to starve to death here?"
Xiaobai was complaining, but suddenly there was a hurried knock on the door outside the door. I judged it by the sound that the person coming should be very anxious, so Badou hurried over and opened the door.
"Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as he opened the door, Badou saw Aunt Han standing outside the door with an anxious look on his face.
"Oh! Something happened to my son. He went to the mountain with someone yesterday, but he didn't come back all night. When he came back today, it was like he was possessed by evil spirits. Master Badou, please come with Master Liu to help me see."
Liu Shoucai also understood Aunt Han's words. He and Xiaobai hurriedly followed Aunt Han to her house. As soon as they arrived at Aunt Han's house, Liu Shoucai immediately saw a burst of black air coming from the bedroom where Aunt Han's son lived.
"Auntie, don't go into the room first. Your son is entangled with ghost energy, but don't worry, we can deal with it."
"Then please."
Aunt Han bowed to Liu Shoucai and Badou. Liu Shoucai and Badou helped Aunt Han and went into the house. Aunt Han's son was Hutou, who was only twenty years old and had a wife and son. People in this era got married early, so Liu Shoucai was not surprised.
The tiger's eyes are now tightly opened, his mouth is closed, his face is blue-black, and black air is constantly floating from his eyebrows. No wounds are found on his body, but there is constant ghost energy.
"He has a very familiar feeling. Do you think it?"
Liu Shoucai looked at Hutou, then raised his head to look at Badou and Xiaobai. Xiaobai shook his head and said that he didn't know, while Badou frowned and pondered.
"It's Zhi'er, it's the evil aura on Zhi'er. I remember that after he left last month, there was a evil aura around him. It seems that the tiger's head was entangled with ghost aura. It's related to Zhi'er. Is Zhi'er already dead? And he has become a ghost?"
Badou's guess made Liu Shoucai's heart beat hard for a few moments. No wonder he always felt that Zhi'er was restless after leaving. It seemed that Zhi'er really didn't see through or let go.
"What should we do now? We can't just let Zhi'er's wronged soul be ignored, right?"
"How is that possible? As long as the evil spirit comes out to cause trouble, we cannot let go. Since this path is his own choice, he will be responsible for all the responsibility. No one can blame this. If you want to blame, he will blame himself for being unable to think about it."
Badou and Xiaobai quickly decided to stay and leave Zhi'er's wronged soul, and Liu Shoucai nodded in agreement. He did not feel any guilt about Zhi'er, because it was not his own business. Zhi'er escaped the problem and felt that others were sorry for him.
In fact, those people do not need sympathy at all, because they themselves are inferior and cannot withstand suppression. When they encounter problems, they start to escape. Now that they have harmed themselves, they can’t blame others for anything.
"Ba Dou, you and Xiaobai go and draw Zhi'er's soul over. I'll exorcise the evil spirits of the tiger head. Tonight, we will have a good talk with Zhi'er's soul. Remember, we must call Zhi'er's parents up."
"Well, I understand, don't worry! We know what to do."
Badou and Xiaobai nodded. After Liu Shoucai saw them leaving, he began to exorcise evil spirits for Tiger Head. Tiger Head's mother kept kneeling outside the door and praying, praying that her son would wake up soon.
After Liu Shoucai recited a few spells, Hutou's body suddenly started to tremble. Soon, Hutou screamed in pain. Hutou's mother heard his son's painful screams outside, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
