From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 180 Visiting Luang Po
Fuk Hing Road, Mong Kok.

Standing at the door of Long Po's residence, Jiang Yao rang the doorbell directly.

He is still on vacation, and he is not ready to go back to the police station today and tomorrow. After leaving Cheng Feier's house, he did not go anywhere else but came here directly.

The doorbell rang for a while, and soon, the door in front of Jiang Yao opened a crack, and Long Po's somewhat old face appeared from behind it.

"Young man, is that you?" Seeing that the person outside the door was Jiang Yao, Long Po was stunned. She was obviously a little surprised.

According to her rules, no matter why the visitor came, if he wanted to enter, he had to give a red envelope containing eight hundred yuan.

However, Jiang Yao is not an ordinary person, he has the ability to make Luang Po make an exception.

She had originally only opened the door a crack, but she immediately opened it completely and invited Jiang Yao to come in with a smile.

"I have something to ask you, Luang Pu. I hope I don't disturb your practice."

Following the Long Po into the house, although there were no chairs inside, Jiang Yao didn't care. He just found a cushion in the living room and sat down temporarily.

Although Long Po didn't ask for any red envelopes or anything like that, Jiang Yao couldn't help but show some appreciation since he came to ask for advice from others.

Before sitting down, he took out a thick red envelope and placed it on the table in the corner of the living room.

"You are too polite, my friend. The rules I set are for ordinary people."

"In terms of strength, you are far superior to me. There is no need for compensation or anything like that."

"I don't know what you want to ask, but as long as it doesn't involve the fundamentals of inheritance, I will definitely not hide anything that I can tell you." The smile on Long Po's face became more friendly.

With her keen eyesight, she could naturally tell that the red envelope Jiang Yao gave her must have contained a lot of money.

Although she refused, it was just a polite remark.

She just left the red envelope on the table and had no intention of even getting up to take it.

"Don't worry, Luang Pu, I just want to ask you for some basic knowledge of cultivation. I will definitely not force you to ask anything that is difficult for you."

Jiang Yao smiled and nodded. He took a deep breath and continued, "A few days ago, I wanted to teach a good friend what I knew. I don't know why I couldn't speak or write it down."

"I wonder if you, Luang Pu, know what is going on?"

Before, he wanted to teach Bingzai the second half of the Tiger Evil training, but he had never been able to do so. He had kept this in mind and had been thinking hard about it for several days, but he just couldn't figure it out.

Although Luang Po's abilities were average and she was terrified of sorcerers like Uncle Lin, it was undeniable that she did have some real abilities.

If a real fight breaks out, ten dragon ladies combined might not be able to beat Jiang Yao alone, but in certain areas of knowledge and experience, she is definitely much better than Jiang Yao.

In Hong Kong, Jiang Yao doesn't know anyone else like Luang Pu except Luang Pu.

He came here specifically to see if Luang Po could help him solve his doubts.

"Some small and useless spells can be passed down through word of mouth, but ordinary words and writing cannot convey the truly profound things."

"This is basic common sense of cultivation, my friend. When you were a disciple, didn't your master tell you about this?"

Hearing the questions raised by Jiang Yao, Long Po was slightly surprised.

Then, she looked at Jiang Yao with a little doubt and responded with a smile.

"Ordinary words and texts cannot carry extraordinary knowledge?" Jiang Yao was stunned.

He suddenly remembered that the Lu Ban book he found from Carpenter Xu's house that day seemed to contain only a few small spells with detailed practice steps.

As for the more powerful spells that he was obsessed with, such as the Five Thunder Oil Pool Fire Curse and the Golden Knife and Sharp Scissors Curse, Lu Ban's book only described them in a few simple sentences and did not record at all how to practice them.

Although the ancient book was incomplete, the pages recording those techniques were complete.

At first, Jiang Yao was somewhat puzzled as there were no methods of practicing these techniques in the books.

But now, after listening to Luang Po's explanation, he suddenly felt that it was most likely because the practice of that kind of technique was a little advanced and ordinary words could not contain it, so there was a blank in the pages of the book about this aspect.

Thinking that Carpenter Xu had indeed learned the Five Thunders Oil Pool Fire Curse, Jiang Yao was silent for a while before speaking again, asking, "Profound skills can neither be spoken nor written down, so how can such things be passed down?"

He was really curious about this question.

Among the people he met, there were those who had some real skills, whether it was Carpenter Xu, the Taoist priest Qingsong, Uncle Lin, or the Dragon Queen in front of him, it was obvious that they knew more than just some small spells.

So how did they inherit the tradition and learn those skills?
The dragon lady at the side looked even more strange at this moment. She stared at Jiang Yao for a long time, and finally spoke again: "The master can only lead you to the door, but the practice depends on yourself."

"Learning Chinese martial arts, learning fighting, and practicing with the master by following the manual, you can always learn something, but learning magic is completely different."

"My friend, the skills you inherited are extraordinary. Can you tell me how you obtained these inheritances?"

Without directly responding to Jiang Yao's question, Long Po asked Jiang Yao a question instead.

"This...all the things I know seem to appear in my mind by themselves, and all of a sudden, I understand it!" Touching his nose, Jiang Yao laughed dryly and explained.

Naturally, he would not tell the dragon lady in front of him that he had a golden finger.

Excluding the factor of the golden finger, what he said seemed to be the truth. After all, as a reward, after Jiang Yao silently recited "extract", the Tiger Evil Training Form, including those techniques, really appeared directly in his mind.

Nodding, Luang Po smiled slightly: "The remaining practice methods nowadays only let you chant scriptures and meditate. No one can tell you how to practice specifically. The most you can say is that if you have enlightenment, you have enlightenment, and if you don't, you don't."

"The so-called master leading you into the door only allows you to have a slight connection with a certain existence in the dark, making it easier for you to obtain the inheritance than ordinary people."

"I was taken in by my master when I was in my thirties. I worshipped the gods and chanted scriptures every day. It was not until I was nearly fifty that I suddenly became enlightened."

"At that time, I was half asleep and half awake, and I felt dazed and as if I had left reality and entered some unknown time and space."

“Although I did not see the gods I served there, I heard a few voices of Tao.”

“The sound of Tao filled my ears, as if it contained endless mysteries. I suddenly understood many things.”

"Like you, most of the things I know cannot be expressed or written down!"

……

Perhaps because of the thick red envelope that Jiang Yao gave when he entered the room, Long Po now described in great detail the process of how she inherited and learned magic spells, with no intention of hiding anything at all.

Of course, she was only talking about herself. As for whether other people were able to inherit the true Dharma in this way, that was unknown.

After hearing what she said, Jiang Yao felt that the inheritance methods might be different for different sects, but generally speaking, they should be similar.

After all, in his understanding, apart from the unorthodox teachings, the various scriptures in the orthodox Buddhist and Taoist sects also seemed to have no specific methods of practice. Their so-called practice was also meditation and chanting day after day, year after year.

Seeing that Jiang Yao seemed to be lost in thought, Long Po smiled and added again: "I remember when I was young, when I just became a disciple, I heard my master say that some sects have deep backgrounds and long-standing inheritances, and they once possessed real inheritance items."

"However, each time an item of that type is passed down, a portion of the spirituality contained in it will disappear. The number of times it can be passed down in the end depends on the spirituality contained in it."

"After so many years in the Dharma Ending Age, the so-called spiritual objects are no longer easy to find. Even if someone knows how to make the inherited objects, it is impossible to make them again."

"The inherited items that originally existed have already been consumed. Even if there are any left, there are definitely not many left."

"Of course, this is what my master told me. I can't really say whether it is true or not. After all, I have never seen anything like that before."

"That's all I know, I hope it can be helpful to you, little friend!"

She has always been optimistic about Jiang Yao.

Just as she said, as long as it does not involve her fundamental inheritance, she will never hide anything that she can tell Jiang Yao.

After all, in their line of work, who knows when they will run into an opponent they simply cannot handle.

If this situation really happened, if she had established a good relationship with Jiang Yao in advance, she would at least have a helper, who might even save her life.

"Can spiritual objects carry advanced magical knowledge?" Jiang Yao nodded slightly and spoke again to confirm.

"That should be the case, but spiritual objects are also divided into categories. Those that can carry extraordinary knowledge should only be a part of them." Luang Po's answer was obviously uncertain.

But it's not her fault. After all, it's very difficult for her, who has never seen an inherited item or any spiritual object, to answer this question.

"Yes, I understand. What you told me, Long Po, has helped a lot."

"There were many things I didn't understand before, but after listening to what you just said, my mind has become much clearer."

"I'm sorry to bother you and take up a lot of your time. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't refuse."

Standing up from the mat, Jiang Yao took out another thick red envelope.

Without giving Luang Po a chance to refute, he placed the red envelope on a nearby table, turned around, opened the door and walked outside.
