C62 (1/2)
The old Daoist and I walked in front while An Gui walked behind with Huang Yuting on his back.
On the way, the old Taoist suddenly asked me, ”Gong Nan, are you a man or not?”
I thought it was strange that the old Taoist would ask this question. Isn't this nonsense? I cursed in my heart, wondering if I should take out that piece for him to see, but instead I said, ”Of course!”
The old Taoist then said, ”Yes, you are a man, but you must have been to run into a ghost many times, right? But why the fuck do you scream like a bitch every time you see a ghost? ”
I immediately had an embarrassed expression and bitterly smiled. ”If I had the kind of skill that you do, I wouldn't be afraid. I immediately stuck it onto the symbol paper and stabbed it with my peach wood sword. What's there to be afraid of?”
”Oh, so it's like that.” The old Daoist paused before continuing, ”Actually, every time I pull you along to catch ghosts, I want to train your courage. It seems like this won't do, do you want to learn the techniques to catch ghosts? Perhaps it's really just as you said, when you learn the techniques to catch ghosts, you won't be afraid anymore.”
I immediately became overjoyed. ”Alright! I want to learn the techniques to capture ghosts. After that, I'll wield the peach wood sword and see a ferocious ghost! Haha!”
”Don't be happy too early, learning magic has its requirements.”
”What condition?”
”En, for the first one, of course you have to have the ability to comprehend. For the second one, hehe, you have to pay the tuition fee.”
I was immediately speechless. Damn, this is clearly a scam! ” ”The old Taoist, talking about money hurts relationships, school fees …”
”Give me five hundred first.”
I chuckled and said, ”We're already friends, so why are we still asking for tuition fees?”
The old Daoist showed no mercy and said, ”If I don't hand it over, I won't have a disciple like you anyway. But have you thought about it? I'm not afraid of telling you the truth, but you will still encounter ghosts again and again in the future, and I can't be by your side all the time. Maybe one day I won't be around, and you didn't learn any magic, so you'll be dead. ”
I thought about it for a moment, knowing that the old Taoist was right. I let out a breath of air and had to spend all my money, saying, ”Well, all my pocket money for this month has been sucked up by a vampire like you.”
With that, I immediately gave the old Taoist five hundred yuan.
The old Daoist took the five pieces of paper and then said, ”Good, tomorrow is the official start of school. It is also the time for me to teach you Tao techniques.”
After a while, we arrived at the hospital. Fortunately, the school hospital was not closed and very few people were registered.
The doctor examined Huang Yuting and found that there was nothing wrong with her body. There was only a bruise on her stomach. However, to be safe, the doctor suggested that she be hospitalized for a few days.
After settling down from the cumbersome hospital procedures, An Gui decided to stay at the hospital tonight to take care of Huang Yuting, while Old Daoist and I returned to our dorms.
When he returned to the dormitory, it was already midnight.
I was so tired that my eyelids felt like they weighed thousands of pounds, so I showered, dried my hair, and went to sleep.
I slept deeply, my whole body floating in the endless darkness. In my blurry consciousness, I suddenly felt something floating towards me from the darkness ahead.
As I was wondering, the thing came closer and closer, until it was right in front of me.
I looked at it and was stunned. It was the face of the blood demon.
I reacted and was shocked. I wanted to struggle, but at this moment, I found that I was completely unable to move!
The face of the blood demon opened its mouth wide, then bit down on my neck.
I immediately felt pain, and the pain was so intense that I bounced up from the bed.
”Aiya, shhh …” ”It hurts …” I tilted my neck and looked at the white ceiling. I slowly supported my neck with my hand. The pain was like a needle …
Only now did I realize that I slept too roughly last night. It's great now, my pillow has fallen over, my neck is crooked …
I tilted my head to wipe off the cold sweat on my forehead. I recalled my dream just now and cursed in my heart. I had another ghost dream again …
But luckily, it was just a dream.
At this moment, it was already dawn and I had no intention of sleeping. Thus, I felt like I should get up and brush my teeth to wash my face.
That's right, how many points was it now? I touched my side and found that my phone was missing. I got off the bed for a while, then I slapped my head and remembered, didn't my phone start bleeding last night and then I gave my phone to the old Taoist. Now I'm starting to regret it a little.
