Chapter XII Art of Sealing

Great Grandpa's words gave me a fright, because his tone was extremely serious, it didn't even seem like he was joking. What is he trying to do, to force me to learn from him? Is there a need to do this? I don't want to be a swindler. I'm still in university and my future is bright. Why would I want to learn these things?

So I immediately asked him what he meant by "kill me if you don't want to learn".

"I'll kill you, haha, boy, do you know how I sealed this Pig Slaughtering Knife back then?" Great Grandpa asked me coldly.

I rolled my eyes and shook my head. At that time, even my father probably wasn't born, how would I know?

"Using poison to fight poison, I have been in closed door cultivation for seven days, using this blade to cut apart the soul representing evil in my three souls and seven souls, and then sealed into the Pig Slaughtering Knife, finally allowing them to reach a balance within the blade, so that the people with this blade can be safe and sound, but now that balance has been broken, no matter if Son of Yi Ya's Resentment has won or my evil thoughts, this blade will return to the same level as the Evil Blade, so, do you think that you can escape?" Sun Chengzhi said coldly.

I was dumbstruck, I did not think that the Great Grandpa would actually use such a method to seal them, isn't this just playing with fire, what if his evil thoughts were to devour Son of Yi Ya's Resentment, or be devoured by Son of Yi Ya's Resentment, then isn't this blade even stronger? Even if this did not happen, after his death, our Zhou Family members accidentally broke the balance, and didn't see him like me, isn't that just going to suffer a disaster?

"What, what, what benefits does learning from you have? Can it save your life?" I asked hurriedly after being surprised.

"You can definitely save your own life. Son of Yi Ya's Resentment has already been around for more than a thousand years, but they still can't be compared to you, and you can't even be compared to me. My evil thoughts can't even be compared to you, but you can still join them as a third party to balance each other out.

My eyes lit up and I hurriedly followed, "I understand. Your evil thoughts are about to win, so I'll help Son of Yi Ya's Resentment. If Son of Yi Ya's evil thoughts are about to win, then I'll help your evil thoughts.

Sun Chengzhi looked at me with an expression that suggested he could teach me something.

But a light flashed in my head, my expression changed, and I said, "No, no, there are still a lot of situations that I didn't think of, such as when your evil thoughts attacked me, when Son of Yi Ya's Resentment wouldn't help me, what if you attack me together, when that time comes, where would I cry?"

Great Grandpa Sun Chengzhi's face darkened. He never thought that in this situation, regardless of whether it was his evil thoughts or Son of Yi Ya's Resentment, once it erupted, there would be no logic behind it.

"It's not that there isn't a way to resolve it, but if you withdraw your spiritual will and keep your heart in place, then no matter if it's my evil thoughts or Son of Yi Ya's Resentment, they have no way to control you directly. They can only affect you, so your willpower needs to be extremely firm." However, Great Grandpa immediately thought of a way to remedy the situation.

"Strong willpower. Then, what do I do if my willpower isn't strong enough?" I asked timidly. My willpower isn't very strong. The influence of the current society is too great.

"If your will isn't firm, then just wait for the blade to be under your control. The blade will bring you to kill, but don't worry, the blade won't kill you immediately, only when there's nobody else to kill will it kill you." Sun Chengzhi replied.

The thought of me covered in blood, carrying a pig slaughtering knife and killing people in chaos, and being chased by the police. I shivered at the sight of the shot, but it was too bad, I didn't want it.

"Then, then, is there any other way?" I said with a tearful face. I don't want to be like that.

"Yes, there is. You can only wait until your Cultivation Level completely surpasses me before you learn the Dao," Sun Chengzhi replied with a smile.

surpassing you, hehe, is it really that easy? If it really was that simple, Sun Yong and the rest wouldn't have to come back from overseas, I probably wouldn't have a chance in my life.

"Erm, erm, may I ask, what is your current situation? Is it evil?" I quietly asked. This is very important, I have to find out who I am facing. If this is evil, then when I was training, you would teach me and suddenly make a move on me.

"Don't worry, I am not evil thoughts right now, but rather, a strand of spiritual will that I left behind when I was alive. However, the amount of time this spiritual will can leave behind is not long, it would be best for you to study hard and maybe live a few more days," Sun Chengzhi replied.

"How much longer?" I asked again.

Sun Chengzhi's answer is that he doesn't know, maybe a day or two, maybe a year or two, and might disappear anytime soon. I was greatly shocked by his answer and immediately asked him how to learn dao and how to cultivate.

"If you still can't walk, then you want to run? Can you do it? Can you do it smoothly? Do you know what the Twelve Zodiac Temples mean? Have you read the Yizhi Sutra?" "Can you recite the moral scriptures? Have you seen the Daoist Canon? Do you know what talismans are? Do you know how many types of hand seals there are?"

Sun Chengzhi asked time and time again while shaking my head. Damn it, I really don't seem to know anything.

"If you don't know, then go learn. If you don't know these basics, then you still want to cultivate. You better wipe your own neck earlier," Sun Chengzhi said coldly.

"T-then, recommend some books for me to read. I'll go learn them." I'm a bit unconvinced. These kinds of things, if they weren't people with special hobbies, who would read them?

"Hmph, if I had the time to teach you this, then you don't need to be so balanced, f * ck off" However, I didn't think that Sun Chengzhi would be so angry. Not only was he venomous, he even attacked and blew me away.

"Bang!" I fell under the bed and woke up with my head hitting the ground.

"Eh? Why are you here?" Just as I was about to crawl up with my teeth bared, I suddenly felt that there was someone in front of me. I raised my head and saw that Sun Yong had actually appeared in my room.

"I knocked on the door, but you didn't reply. Furthermore, the door was unlocked, so I came in, I came here to inform you, we are the only ones who can't solve this secret, your grandfather also doesn't have anything else to leave behind, so we can only go back to the Sun Family Ancestral Mansion to see if there is such a chance. Do you have the time, I heard that you are still in university?" Sun Yong replied blandly.

Going to the Sun Family Ancestral Mansion meant going to the next county. A few decades ago, they were all located in the same county, but because the economy was developing at a different pace, some areas had already been upgraded to county level cities. Thus, the previous towns had all been upgraded to district or county level.

"Yes, why not? A bookworm would only need to surprise for a week before failing. How about that? Envy?" I immediately replied.

If you want to get rid of me, you have to use the Pig Slaughtering Knife, how is that possible, without me around, they would all be killed by the Pig Slaughtering Knife. Furthermore, I did not have the Pig Slaughtering Knife, so it is impossible for me to go to that mysterious room to see Sun Chengzhi at any time, so I must follow them.

"Whatever you say, we will set off this afternoon. You decide." Sun Yong left after he finished speaking. His attitude was even colder than before, because his hands were still covered with bandages.

As expected, the matter of me following them was firmly rejected, even if I had to promise that I wouldn't fail at the end of the term. Because they all know that it's not easy to get into a university in our little mountain village, and it's not like they don't have the money to ignore it. Why not go to school?

They also asked the Uncle how long it would take to study the blade, but they couldn't give me a definite amount of time. It might be one or two hours, or it might not even last a year or two, so they were very determined to let me go back to school.

But this time, I did not give in. I insisted on my own opinion, and when I thought about Sun Chengzhi's words, I had a firm will, if I couldn't even do such a small thing, how would I be able to persevere when Sun Chengzhi's evil thoughts or Son of Yi Ya's Resentment affects me.

As a result, a huge family battle broke out between me and my parents, and we almost fought based on the theory that people came to and fro. The ones who screwed around were Uncle and Sun Yong and the rest, and they didn't say a word and took the opportunity to say that they were going to walk on the mountain.

When afternoon came, my attitude was still the same, as if I was ready to throw caution to the wind, leaving my parents with no choice but to agree before letting me go.

The convoy following Uncle took more than two hours to arrive at the neighboring county, but when we arrived at the Sun Family Ancestral Mansion, they blocked us, not allowing us to enter at all. Uncle was so angry that he almost fainted.
