Chapter 3 The Thirty-six Techniques of Heretics

"Why are you kowtowing? I will not accept you as my apprentice." I didn't know what a disciple was. Seeing her angry, I felt a little at a loss and could only stare at her blankly. The girl stared at me for a while, her expression softened, and she raised her hand helplessly to rub my head, "Forget it, I've already worshiped you, you can't go back, then you're not worshiping heaven and earth." , which is even more troublesome. I recognize you as my apprentice, but outside you can only call me Sister Miao, not Master." I only understood that she asked me to call her sister, and I nodded happily. From this moment on, I officially followed Sister Miao for ten years. Sister Miao said that her knowledge is called Yinmai Technique, which specializes in treating external diseases and is one of the thirty-six heretic techniques. In the "Original Compilation of Taoism" compiled during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the world's magic is divided into two categories: the orthodox and the outside, and thirty-five of the thirty-six kinds of heretic magic are classified as evil magic. Once someone is found to be using it, they will be severely punished. lazy. What the bald man did was one of the thirty-five kinds of heretic magic: harvesting and cutting animals. The kidnapped child was cut all over his body, and then the newly peeled animal skin was put on it while it was hot. When it cooled down, it would stick to the skin firmly, making it look like a human-headed animal. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the technique of harvesting and cutting was used to harm people. Once discovered, they would be put to death. In fact, most of the thirty-six heretical techniques are only evil and have no magic. The Yin Meridian Technique is the only heretic technique that has innocent skills. As the saying goes, shoot flowers to extend your life, gather raw materials and cut them to make animals, fascinate the gods and control your consciousness, hide weapons and bury objects to suppress nightmares, there are thirty-six heretical techniques, only one of them is the positive Yin channel. But Sister Miao knows more than just Yin Vein Technique. She knows all thirty-six heretic techniques. I've seen her use heretic techniques more than once. Although she punished bad guys every time who hurt others, the bloody and horrific methods still made me shudder. But Sister Miao said that there is no good or evil in magic, only the human heart is evil. If I can't pass this test, I will never find my own way in my life. Therefore, she not only taught me the Yin Channel technique, but also taught me other outsider techniques. In the past ten years, I have followed Sister Miao all over the country, seen countless strange people and different methods, and solved countless difficult and complicated diseases with her. In the last two years, she no longer needed to take action, and I could solve all the problems myself. Sister Miao said that she had nothing to teach me about Yinmai Art. Of course, Sister Miao not only treats people with external diseases, she also takes on some entrusted business, such as killing bald men to relieve their strongholds, but she never lets me get involved in this business. She said this was her way, not mine, so she couldn't let me get involved. There is a secret shadow in Sister Miao's heart. Even though I have been with her for ten years, I have not been able to touch it. This is the root of her Tao and the reason why she traveled around the world when she was a teenager. When I heard her say this, I knew that Sister Miao and I would separate sooner or later. Because she said that the Tao is different and does not conspire against each other. But this day came much earlier than I expected. It was my tenth year together with her. 1995. Because she couldn't remember the past, she designated the day we met as my birthday and celebrated it for me every year. As usual, she cooked a table of dishes in our temporary rental house, laid out two bottles of Wuliangye, and bought a birthday cake. After singing happy birthday, sharing the cake, Sister Miao personally filled a glass of wine for me. Before this, she never let me touch alcohol. "You can drink. From now on, you are an adult." I had a bad feeling in my heart, so I held down the wine glass and asked, "What next?" "Then, our fate is over. You still have three years to live. You must find the person who robbed you of your life before your twenty-first birthday and take your life back. You have to take your own life. This is your life. I can’t accompany you on this journey, you can only walk on your own!” Sister Miao raised the wine glass in her hand and drank it in one gulp. The half-filled glass was filled to the brim, and after one sip, her face immediately turned red. "You have been with me for ten years, and I have taught you everything I know, except for the last thing. If I teach you today, we will never see each other again." She said, pounced on me, pushed me down on the bed with gritted teeth, and then kissed me on the mouth. The weird smell mixed with body fragrance and wine filled my nose, and the spicy softness slid into my mouth. It suddenly ignited the suppressed fire in my heart and turned me into a beast. I stood up violently and flipped over, turning her upside down and pressing her underneath me. Roaring like a wild beast. Unreal, like a dream. When I woke up, Sister Miao had disappeared. I was lying alone on the bed, completely unconscious. I couldn't even move my fingers, but my consciousness was extremely clear. This feeling is really terrifying. I lay upright like this for seven days before my body regained consciousness. By this time, I was so weak that I couldn't even get out of bed. I used all my strength to roll out of the bed. Then I saw an open bottle of mineral water on the ground beside the bed. There was a note under the water bottle, "The word sex means a knife on the head." I wanted to cry and laugh, but in the end I just picked up the water bottle and filled myself with water. Sister Miao just left, taking everything that belonged to her without leaving a trace. But I know she didn't leave me alone for no reason. Because of the secret shadow in her heart, she has always wanted to do something, but she has been delaying it for ten years because of me. Now she can finally let it go. I don't feel too sad about parting. As long as we don't die, we will meet again eventually. Even if she doesn't want to see me, I will go to see her. But for me right now, the top priority is to find the person who stole my life and get back my life and my lost childhood memories. In the past ten years, Sister Miao has never stopped investigating, and every year she returns alone to Jincheng, where she discovered me, to live for a month. The life-stealing spell must be performed face-to-face between the host and the recipient. Therefore, one of the caster and the recipient must be in Jincheng. Sister Miao believes that the person living in Jincheng should be the magician. Because Jie Shou is one of the thirty-six heretical techniques, the most advanced method of extending life and extending life. Those who can use this method must be top experts. If you count them all over the world, they will not be more than one slap in the face. In order to show their aloofness, this kind of expert usually only accepts door-to-door help and will never go out to provide services to others. After continuous secret investigations, Sister Miao has narrowed down the suspect targets to three people. What I need to do is to return to Jincheng and find out among these three people who used magic to steal my life. I will patiently wait until my twenty-first birthday, when that person performs the ritual again to gain longevity, and ask for my life back. But before that, I needed a new identity and a new face. The struggle between life and death is about life and death. Although it has been ten years, the practitioner will definitely remember my appearance. Because if I don't die for a day, I have the possibility of regaining my life, so this longevity technique will always be one step short of perfection. The caster will definitely be on guard at all times. This is why Sister Miao doesn't take me with her every time she returns to Jincheng. Fighting is a matter of life and death. He has always resorted to all possible means. He can use underhanded tricks and never show his face. The most important thing is to hide your identity and keep yourself hidden from the enemy. The fight between gongs and drums in front of the audience, and the fights are noisy, is something that is shown in movies and TV dramas for the outsiders to watch. Real fighting skills, without those bells and whistles, are often smooth and silent. Until one party is dead, no one knows who the opponent is.
