Chapter 19 Fat Granny's Invitation

The study room was in chaos, and the teenagers were lying on the ground with books pillows, some were half asleep and some were chatting casually, and only Fangfang was reading a book in a sensible way.

"The Forbidden Secret Department is so terrible. I won't be Zuo Liuying's apprentice even if I kill him." Chen Hao turned over and moved the stack of books under his head, making him lying more comfortable.

The teenagers who were not sleeping all agreed, and they were more and more afraid of the lunatic man yesterday. The more they thought about it, they no longer had any favors for the banned secret department. Only Xiaoqiu had a different view. He was also lying on the floor, flipping through a book casually, and didn't know if he took it down. "Actually, it's not that scary. Don't you think we... are very special?"

"What does it mean? Apart from the disappearance of the town, what's the special thing about us?" Chen Hao asked.

Xiao Qiu sat up, threw the book in his hand to the ground, awakening his confused companion, "We have fought with the demon seeds. Not only is it okay, but we also have a root of Tao. Master Pangshan said that this situation has never happened before, so we are very special. Even if we enter the Forbidden Secret Department, we will not go crazy. In the future, we will become the most powerful Pangshan master. We can kill demons with just a finger."

Chen Hao smiled a few times, yearning for the prospect described by Xiaoqiu. Since Yelin Town disappeared and lacked the support of his parents, Chen Hao's Ruizhi was left with little, and he rarely had quarrels with Xiaoqiu again. "Brother Xiaoqiu is right. We are all very special. Maybe someone will become the first seat in the future. I heard that the first seat can live for hundreds of years."

"Then I don't want to enter the banned secret department." Daliang Chen Xiuming lowered his voice, as if he was going to say a big secret. "I have inquired about Taoist Zhang. In our Pangshan Taoist Orthodox, the safest way to practice is to enter the judging department. Although the progress is slower, the risk of being possessed is particularly low, and there is no one in a hundred. Even if the practice of Taoism is not successful in the future, the future of the judging department will be better. Taoist Zhang is the judging department, and the entire museum is under his jurisdiction."

"I want to go to Mingjing Department even more." Mu Feihuang wiped the saliva from his mouth. As soon as he woke up, he immediately joined the conversation. "The book says that Mingjing Department specializes in making various treasure mirrors. In addition to supplying disciples in the mountain, he can also takeout. Do you know? The most ordinary treasure mirror can be sold for thousands of taels of silver when you get it in the city."

Daliang Chen Xiuming suddenly became interested and left the precepts behind, "Which book says it?"

"You can't even recognize words and understand them in "Jianzhao Tonglu".

That being said, Daliang Chen Xiuming still read books everywhere, "Brother Xiaoqiu, what about you? Do you like the banned secret science?"

Xiaoqiu stood up, picked up the straw hat and buckled it on his head, "I'm not afraid of entering the Ban Secret Department, but I'm definitely going to the Five Elements Department. I want to be a mage who kills demons and eliminates demons. At that time, I will take Yelin Town back from the demon seeds. If... if everyone in the town... will avenge them!"

"So too!" Erliang Chen Xiuwei jumped up and stood beside Xiaoqiu.

When it comes to Yelin Town, the friends were inspired and they all ran to Xiaoqiu to stand, holding their heads up and their chests together, as if Grandmaster Pang Shan was standing opposite him.

Fangfang by the window burst into laughter, "You are thinking too early. We must first go to Yangshen Peak to practice. We must reach the state of inhalation before we can learn Taoism in different subjects. It will take five to ten years for ordinary people, and then the masters of each subject will choose apprentices, not disciples choose certain subjects."

"So long? We all became adults at that time." Chen Hao said in surprise. In the eyes of the boy, five years are extremely long.

"Five years later, Brother Xiaoqiu and Fangfang can get married." Erliang Chen Xiuwei added, making his partner laugh. Fangfang blushed, and Xiaoqiu pushed him hard.

"Fangfang, what book are you reading? You don't teach us to recognize words anymore." Chen Hao asked.

"The Nine Truths and Hundred Treatises on the Great Way of Eliminating Demons and Wisdom of Jade Clearance", the disciple of the forbidden secret took a few more glances yesterday, so..."

"Such a name?" Daliang Chen Xiuming only noticed this.

"You read the books that the madman likes, too?" Chen Hao was very worried about her.

Fangfang nodded and was watched by a group of teenagers. She felt a little embarrassed and blocked her mouth with a book. "There are many records about the demon seeds in this book. Yelin Town is actually not the first town to disappear."

The teenagers all surrounded him. Fangfang was a little panicked and lowered her head and turned the book forward a few pages. "Look, it says that the demon seeds were blocked in the void of the primordial world. They have always wanted to create a passage to return to the world, so every once in a while, a small group of demon seeds tried every means to squeeze into the mortal world, looking for suitable places to try to open up a large enough gap, and the places they selected often disappear with all the people and things. So far, at least a hundred and a hundred such things have occurred."

"Isn't there any Nine Daotong and Longbin? How can the demon seed do such a thing?" Chen Hao was a little indignant because he felt that the disappearance of Yelin Town had a greater impact on him than on others, so he was more qualified to accuse some people of unfavorable protection.

"I didn't say it here. Maybe there are records in other books, so I'll look for it."

Throughout the morning, the demon seeds were a topic of debate among the teenagers. It was not until Zhang Lingsheng announced something at lunch that they turned their thoughts around, "Starting tomorrow, you all have to get up early to learn bone-forging fist from me."

"Can we start practicing?" Xiaoqiu's eyes suddenly lit up. He was already tired of life in the museum, and he had to do nothing every day, and he had to bite the bullet and learn to write.

"It's not so early? The bone-forging fist is to prepare for practicing Taoism." Seeing that the young men did not understand it very much, Zhang Lingsheng cleared his throat and changed into a solemn tone and said: "Taoism is like the water of a river. The body of a Taoist priest is like a container. The water is placed there, and it is inexhaustible. The amount of it can be stored depends on the size of the container. Therefore, you must first refine your body before practicing Taoism."

After saying this, the boys understand a little.

"Bone-forging fist is the primary method of body refining." Thinking that he practiced the primary method every morning, Zhang Lingsheng hurriedly explained: "The primary is the primary, but it is not easy to learn essence, and the physical refining is endless. Many Taoist priests in the realm of Guxia also need to practice it every day."

The teenagers didn't think so much, and Xiaoqiu even suggested that he start learning boxing immediately. Zhang Lingsheng shook his head, "Don't worry, everything is done according to the rules. In the early morning tomorrow, no one should sleep in. Now they go to have a meal."

The food in the museum is provided by the village, three times a day, and is delivered on time by three old women, with less meat and more vegetables. Xiaoqiu and Shen’s brother thought it tastes great, and they ate it like a wind and clouds. Chen Hao ate while recalling the big fish and meat he had at home.

The dining room is located in the front yard, and is the largest room in the museum. It can place twenty square tables, enough to sit down more than a hundred diners. At present, there are only nine children from Yelin Town. They are unwilling to separate and squeeze in to eat at the same table.

The meals for lunch today were a little different. There was a large piece of greasy fish on each of the nine bowls of white rice. In the past, they had only seen a small amount of meat in the vegetables.

"What day is this?" Chen Hao looked at the piece of fish. In the past, he would complain that he had made it too tired, but now he wanted to swallow it in one bite. Just as he was hesitating, Erliang Chen Xiuwei had already bitten down more than half and was chewing happily.

Zhang Lingsheng never had dinner with the teenagers and rarely went to the dining room. Therefore, the teenagers had no choice but to ask the three old women who delivered the meal.

The two old women kept silent, and a short and fat old woman said with a smile: "I got two fish yesterday to replenish your body. It's better for the children. You should eat more."

The young men said thank you, but no one cared too much. Erliang Chen Xiu only ate all the fish in his bowl in a few bites. He felt that the rice and vegetables were tasteless. He looked at his brother's bowl. Daliang Chen Xiuming hurriedly reached out to block it. He had to find another target, and his eyes finally fell into Fangfang's bowl.

"Fangfang, don't you like fish?"

The fish in Fangfang's bowl had not moved. She had already looked up at Xiaoqiu several times, but she had not received any response. Xiaoqiu just kept her head at the meal and said, "Fangfang, you have to watch it, Erliang, no, Chen Xiu can only swallow your bowl in one bite."

The friends all smiled, and Fangfang pushed the bowl towards Chen Xiuwei, "Give it to you." She covered her mouth with her left hand. This almost became her habitual action, and no one could see that she was missing two teeth. Erliang Chen Xiuwei quickly stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the fish, and then took a bite and said thank you.

The teenagers were eating quickly, and two old women packed up the dishes and left, but the short and fat old women did not leave. They stood at the door, still smiling on their faces. Like all the villagers, she was full of respect for Pangshan's disciples, but she had a look of wanting to speak but stopping.

"Old woman, are you still in trouble?" Fangfang was the first to notice the old woman's abnormality and walked over and asked.

"No, it's okay, the fish I made is still delicious, right?"

Fangfang didn't eat a bite, and Erliang Chen Xiuwei said loudly: "It's delicious, I can eat a whole piece."

The young men walked out one after another, and the short and fat old woman seemed a little anxious. She tugged her hands around but didn't dare to speak. Xiaoqiu also saw it, so she stopped her friends and said to her: "Old lady, do you have something to say, right? Even if you speak, we can't eat your fish in vain."

The old woman kept bowing to thank her, and after a while, she said, "You like to eat, I will make it in the future. I have no other intentions, I just want to invite you to my house."

"How can you be so embarrassed? Just bring the delicious food." Erliang Chen Xiu didn't understand what the old woman meant, and thought she was inviting everyone to dinner. Xiaoqiu pushed him away, "Old lady, do you need our help if you have any heavy work at home?"

The old woman had tears in her eyes, but her face was still smiling, "There is no heavy work, it is my son Mei Chuan'an. After talking to you yesterday, he was very happy and always told me that he met a fellow man, so I hope you can take the time to see him, it's okay to have a look."

The young men stopped talking. Since they learned that Mei Chuan'an was crazy because of being possessed by demons, they all wanted to hide away, and even the greedy Erliang Chen Xiuwei was unwilling to take risks.

The old woman begged, "One time, my son...my son won't live long."

"I'll go." Xiaoqiu felt that he had to say these two words, but the other boys were relieved. Erliang Chen Weixiu wanted to speak, but was pulled by his brother.

The old woman thanked her so much, but Xiaoqiu felt embarrassed, "I'll go tomorrow evening, where is your home?"
