Marry first and try love: After a flash marriage, the boss becomes wild and promiscuous

Chapter 1952 Teaching Ultimate Techniques

Master meant that in the art of talismans, he was just an ordinary person, or even less than an ordinary person.

Therefore, if Cheng Xuri wants to achieve something in this field, he will have to put in a hundred times or a thousand times more effort, and he may still not be able to compare with geniuses in the end.

Why should people compare themselves to geniuses? They only need to compare themselves to their past selves. As long as they are better than their former selves, that is progress.

If you always focus on the highest and brightest fruit on the branch, you will gain nothing and easily become frustrated.

Like a tree laden with fruit, everyone can harvest their own fruit if they are willing to work hard.

Cheng Xuri has figured it out and is no longer sad.

Discovering your shortcomings, acknowledging them, and facing them can be a novel experience.

Wasn't that why he came to Hecheng and chose to learn talisman drawing in the first place?

That's the challenge, isn't it?

Cheng Xuri was completely energized, and he did it all himself, without needing anyone else to help him.

He looked at the treasure: "Master, I understand! Thank you!! You are truly my wise teacher in life."

Ming Shibao looked at him blankly. She had been listening intently to her father's rant against Wu Guoli, and then she felt something was missing in her mouth. She took out a bag of potato chips that her mother had hidden and started munching on them. She was enjoying them with great gusto when Cheng Xuri suddenly stared at her with an admiring look, as if he were coveting her potato chips.

Caibao quickly put away the potato chips and stared at him seriously: "Kids can't eat these, they'll become stupid and won't be able to learn to draw talismans."

Cheng Xuri: ...

I'm an idiot, so don't lie to me.

He silently looked away.

Hou Pingzheng and his apprentice looked at the talisman and found it very troublesome.

Laypeople learning to draw talismans often feel lost, unsure where to begin. To them, it's all just a jumble of threads, and they have no idea what they're drawing.

Hou Pingzheng tried to copy the gourd, but even he himself thought the result was unbearable.

As for Wu Guoli, let's not even talk about him. He's not even as good as Cheng Xuri back then; he can't find the right feeling when he starts writing.

Hou Pingzheng looked at Caibao: "Master, can you teach me?"

Caibao shrugged: "There's nothing I can do, it depends on talent."

Damn talent.

Hou Pingzheng took out a box of popcorn chicken, and Caibao immediately said, "You seem to have quite a bit of talent. Let me see what's going on."

The chubby little hand reached out to grab the lunchbox, but Chen Chuan coughed, and Caibao quickly pulled it back, looked at his father, and grinned.

"Dad, this won't taste good if it gets cold."

The little guy kept giving his dad flirty winks.

Hou Pingzheng looked at Caibao with a smile. Although he called her Master, she was younger than his granddaughter, so he found it hard to treat her as an elder and unconsciously wanted to spoil her.

He told Chen Chuan, "This was made by the housekeeper at home. She only used a little oil, but it tastes pretty good and is also healthy."

Caibao blinked and looked at Chen Chuan: "Dad, I'll try it, I'll help Mom try it."

Chen Chuan almost laughed. This kid, he might have made up an excuse for wanting some food, and even offered to let Shen Xi try it. Does Shen Xi even know that she wants to try it?

Oh well. It's her fault for not being here today. Let's just assume she wanted to eat it.

"Try it."

"Okay!" The cheerful little sparrow took the popcorn chicken, picked up a kernel, and said, "Daddy, you eat first!"

Chen Chuan opened his mouth to accept his daughter's filial piety, and after tasting it, he found it to be quite delicious.

It seems that the people around Hou Pingzheng were also carefully selected.

Then Caibao looked around and figured they were either her apprentices or her grand-apprentices. She wouldn't feel guilty if she didn't give them to them, even though she didn't have much of a conscience.

So he started eating it himself, enjoying the delicious aroma.

She always got things done for the benefits and never hesitated. With food in her mouth, her greasy hands reached for Hou Pingzheng's pen.

"Don't try to copy it; it won't work."

Hou Pingzheng listened attentively: "Then how can it be useful?"

"You need to see first, can you feel the Qi?"

"Gas?" Hou Pingzheng looked at her in confusion: "This thing still has gas?"

Live?

Wu Guoli curiously reached out to check, but couldn't feel any breath.

That's so stupid!

Caibao glanced at them and then said, "Azheng, you can't do that. If you do that, Grandpa will think you're not good enough and won't teach you anymore."

Hou Pingzheng's expression turned serious as he looked intently at Caibao: "Master, tell me what I should do, I'll listen to you."

"You need to pretend you know what you don't."

Hou Pingzheng: ?

Wu Guoli: ! !

"Whatever I say, you just say yes, yes, yes, yes. And look me in the eye and nod vigorously."

Hou Pingzheng stared at the treasure in disbelief: "Master, you didn't teach me how to draw talismans, you taught me... how to get away with it?"

“Yeah.” Caibao looked at him seriously, then stuffed chicken nuggets into his mouth: “My grandpa is cunning, you have to learn from him and act like him.”

Hou Pingzheng was speechless.

No, is this right? He thought he had found a Taoist medical master with a long history and lineage, but... he suddenly felt like he had stumbled into a pyramid scheme. He wondered if he would be locked up and beaten if he left now.

Of course, our Sister Caibao doesn't just teach deception; she also teaches the real stuff. She picked up the talisman and said, "Look!"

Hou and Wu quickly looked at it.

"The air on it."

They stared wide-eyed, but couldn't see a trace of life.

The pleading looks were directed at Chen Chuan and Cheng Xuri.

Chen Chuan ignored them and buried himself in his game. Cheng Xuri turned his head away and remained silent.

Actually, he didn't see it much either. The only difference between him and Hou and Wu was that he now knew how to find the Qi sensation.

Hmm, that's great. The master's new disciple seems to be about the same age as him.

He was terrified that one day, his master would lead all his disciples to ascend to immortality, leaving him alone to run wildly on the road, stumbling and falling along the way.

He would be very scared and disappointed.

It feels better to have someone with you.

Look, Cheng Xuri is actually afraid of being alone. Isn't that a kind of progress?

Treasure asked them, "Did you figure it out?"

Hou Pingzheng and Wu Guoli exchanged bewildered glances. What was this? At the end of the day, it was just a piece of paper, wasn't it? What kind of spirit could a piece of paper possess? Was it alive?

Caibao was enjoying her meal immensely and didn't have time to explain, nor could she explain it clearly anyway.

But she can order people around.

“Xuxu, tell Azheng about it.”

Wu Guoli thought about the most tragic thing in his life to keep himself from laughing, even though his lips were twitching from holding it in.

Ah Zheng...

Hou Pingzheng, a great master, was respected and surrounded by people wherever he went, and was addressed as "Old Hou." But now, he has become "A-Zheng" in the mouth of a three-year-old child.

But his master seemed quite pleased with what he heard.

Although Cheng Xuri himself hadn't achieved much in his studies, he was already thoroughly familiar with the theory and could explain it effortlessly.
