Chapter 1465: Five Arts of Daoism

Thousands of techniques were driven from the five arts of Daoism, such as acupuncture and medicine made into powder or pill form to treat diseases. These all had the shadow of Daoist mysticism.

The Daoists had to learn Yin and Yang to check the feng shui of the houses and tombs and fortune-telling to predict fortune and calamities. They really had to have a lot of talent to excel in mysticism since it was tough to master even just one discipline.

Ning Shu couldn’t figure out how the old man had ended up with such a miserable life. Despite his looks and bearings, he was a man of real ability and skill. In fact, the more rich and powerful people were, the more they believed in these things. After all, it was hard for anyone to predict their destiny. The wheel of fate was constantly rotating.

The old man stroked his beard and said triumphantly, “When your master was your age, your master had already gone out to wander the world. All my clients were senior officials and rich people. At that time, I got quite a lot of money. Alas, Master is also a man and young too. You get it.”

Get what? He probably spent it all on women. As a Daoist, how could he face the founder and Three Pure Ones? And he completely let down the soft-style boxing technique he practiced.

Would it kill him to keep his virginity? He was so shameless.

For the soft-style fighting techniques, it was easier to train with a chaste body. Besides, boy urine which was full of Yang energy had a great restraining effect on ghosts. When he needed boy urine, he could’ve gotten it by just untying his pants.

Ning Shu complained about the old man in her heart.

“Those who are in this line of business leak the secrets of heaven and commit the five evils, so most of them are solitary people. Sometimes, they have no choice but to do something that offends Heaven and reason.” The old man stroked his beard.

“Later, I offended some people, and it occurred to me that I was no longer young and had to pa.s.s down Mt. Mao’s techniques.” The old man looked at Ning Shu. “When I found you, you were still a snot-nosed little girl.”

See? When he was young, he spent all his time being unrestrained, and now he was paying for it in his old age.

The old man coughed and said, “The spell formation you used before was good. Even if it was by mistake, you managed to gather the Yang energy of heaven and earth. Record it and pa.s.s it on.”

“I got it,” said Ning Shu.

She was planning to record all the spell formations that she had learned. That way, it would be easier to deal with ghosts and monsters.

“Let’s put off you going out into the world for now. I really can’t rest at ease letting you go the way you are right now.” The old man said, “Follow me for a bit longer. Your technique in drawing runes was a little rustier than before.”

She and Tao Qin were not the same person. How could she be skilled in drawing runes? It was good enough that she could draw them successfully in her first try.

Ning Shu wrote down the Yang a.s.sembling spell formation. She then skimmed through various Daoist cla.s.sics and all kinds of knowledge, carefully memorizing them.

Fortunately, she had added enough attribute points to intelligence. Although she couldn’t memorize the text after glancing at it just once, she could remember it by looking at it a couple more times.

Ning Shu was reading a book when a hand suddenly patted her shoulder. She turned around and saw a boy who was taller than her. He had a bit of fuzz above his lips and was still in p.u.b.erty.

The boy’s name was Tao Sheng. Tao Qin was the eldest, while he was the second oldest child. Usually, Tao Qin went out with the old man to earn money, so Tao Sheng dealt with everything in the Daoist temple.

In short, he was the leader of the children.

“Senior Sister, what were you looking at?” Tao Sheng’s voice wasn’t pleasant to hear, but he had deliberately lowered his voice, which made it even worse.

Although he was good-looking, his voice was unbearable.

“Reading,” said Ning Shu.

Tao Sheng sat next to Ning Shu and asked, “What did you guys encounter this time?”
