Chapter 7 Let's listen to the gods
On Pine Ridge.
Pu Shulun reverted to his image of a beggar, to be precise, worse than his earlier image of a beggar.
At least in Zhang Sheng's opinion, his unique temperament of a cultivator was gone. Not to mention the mud all over his body, his clothes also have countless scratches, and his face is still burned, like old age spots, more like burns.
On the other hand, Zhang Sheng didn't have any. Not only did the leg injury heal, but the skin injury that was smashed by himself with a stone was also intact, and the whole body was no different from when he was just discharged from the hospital, and he was in good spirits.
It feels like after falling from a height of 10,000 meters just now, it was not Zhang Sheng who fell, but Pu Shulun.
"You should feel it, I'm just testing you, right?" At this time, Pu Shulun was full of emotion and extremely kind.
Zhang Sheng glanced at him, he didn't answer, but he was worried in his heart and couldn't express it.
I obviously had murderous intentions towards him just now, so why should I break my leg!
Why did he fall so high and fall on Pu Shulun, he was really testing me? But as for taking himself on his back, a tall person like him needs to pad his own back? Andβ
Something seems to be wrong with his right leg!
"It seems that it is really providence!" Pu Shulun sighed, turned his hand and took out a palm-sized token like a wood carving?
Damn, it's not a token, it's a mobile phone! It's still a touch screen, and there's carvings around it, like an antique! I just didn't see what brand it was, anyway, I haven't seen this style, and I haven't heard of it.
After all, Lao Tzu has only been released from prison for a few days, and what he has learned from Uncle Tian's TV and what he has read in the newspaper may not be comprehensive...... Okay, uncle is too affectionate, and he will still call you senior in the future, although you have a great favor to me, but behind this great kindness, who knows if there is a big sinister hidden.
For example, this Pu Shulun, what does he want to play, I am still confused - yes, I have experienced strong winds and waves, it is difficult to easily trust a person, you just treat me as a white-eyed wolf, I will not be grateful, I will only hold grudges!
"Come, kid, click. Pu Shulun handed over the phone.
Zhang Sheng looked at the screen and saw that there were a few Chinese characters displayed on it.
"Are you willing to be tested by the Monument of Merit?"
Underneath these words, there are "Decline" and "Willing" buttons.
Zhang Sheng nodded without hesitation.
"It's okay, it looks like I didn't make it clear. Pu Shulun smiled and said, "Did Tian Daoyou tell you about the merit monument?"
Zhang Sheng didn't speak, just looked at Pu Shulun coldly.
Pu Shulun smiled awkwardly: "It seems that I haven't said it, so I'll give you a brief explanation...... This matter has to start with the new saint, the new saint Tong Shixuan, presumably Tian Daoyou must have told you. β
"Idiot!" Zhang Sheng raised his head and simply closed his eyes to recuperate.
If Tian Luting said that he was a monk, would he doubt the authenticity of what he was seeing?
However, although Tian Luting did not say it in person, one of the thread-bound books mentioned the new saint boy Shi Xuan.
He thought it was a novel of cultivating immortals, but he didn't care about it at all, and he felt that this novel was written like a running account, similar to "Zizhi Tongjian", and the story was wonderful, but there was no detailed description, and it seemed boring.
"A friend of mine wrote it, which is very Sima Guang's legacy, but it is easier to understand than "Zizhi Tongjian", which can be regarded as a basic textbook for you to get started, and it is used to exercise your writing. This is Tian Luting's explanation at the beginning.
Only now did he understand that it was not a novel, but more like the official history of the cultivation realm!
Pu Shulun was a completely different person, turning a blind eye to Zhang Sheng's contempt, and said to himself: "Xinsheng is the greatest monk in the history of cultivation, if there is only one god in this world, it must be his old man." β
"The world we live in is called the realm of reincarnation. It is said that the reincarnation realm once faced an almost irreversible collapse. The new saint used his great mana to find a solution, and was finally found by his old man. β
"His solution to the collapse of the reincarnation realm is to reverse time and allow the reincarnation realm to be reborn, so as to avoid the node that led to the collapse of the reincarnation realm, but this requires the joint efforts of forty-nine fellow practitioners to succeed. β
"After reversing time and space, the new saint threw forty-nine merit tablets into the entire reincarnation realm, and passed down the oracle, whoever can pass the test of the merit tablet can be a disciple of the new saint, cultivate supreme exercises, and become supreme Taoism. β
"How did you find these forty-nine people? No one knows, only who can inscribe his merits on the merit tablet, and this person is the one the new saint is looking for. β
Later, there were people who got the merit tablet and succeeded in inscribed their own merit on the merit tablet. When the success is accomplished, the new saint senses and leads this person to the secret realm of the new saint, announces it to the world, fulfills his promise, and accepts him as a disciple. This person, we call him the First Saint, his name is Zhang Muyuan. β
Later, there were people who got merit tablets one after another, until 3.8 billion years ago, when the demon cultivator Wu Xiaohou found the forty-seventh merit tablet and achieved the position of saint, no one was included in the true biography by the new saint. β
"Now, here's the point, listen up!"
"Because the node predicted by the new saint is already close at hand, if the merit monument can't find the new master for a long time, and can't gather the forty-nine people who maintain the safety of the reincarnation realm, the entire reincarnation realm will inevitably walk the old path of the past again, and finally fall into collapse. β
In desperation, the new sage decided to refine a number of merit tablets again, and led the merit tablets with his sect disciples to personally go to the world to seek this destined person. I am one of the messengers of the new saints. β
"The new saint is the person who has developed from the last sect of the Miaocheng Sect to the first sect in the cultivation realm, and only our disciples of the Miaocheng Sect are qualified to become the new saint messenger. β
"As the new Holy Messenger, I have been running in this world for more than 4,000 years without finding anything. For the cultivation realm, which often counts hundreds of millions of years, this amount of time is almost negligible. So I didn't have much hope that I would be able to find someone who was recognized by the merit monument so smoothly. At the same time of training, I also took a look to see if we could find a few materials for our Miao Cheng Sect. β
"Tian Daoyou is the Supreme Elder of the Holy Sword Sect, another major sect in the cultivation realm, he is very optimistic about your qualifications and conduct, and recommended you to me. However, since he is so optimistic about you, why is he not included in the Holy Sword Sect? Therefore, I am not optimistic about his recommendation. But since I mentioned it, I don't look at you, isn't it too faceless to give him?"
So with the idea of trying it out, we met in Wolongba. In terms of qualifications, in fact, you are very ordinary, but your heart is okay, and you should be a disciple of my Miaocheng Sect, which is better than nothing. So there was the next investigation. β
"I didn't expect that your stone would make the merit monument inadvertently stain the blood on your legs, and I didn't expect that the merit monument would actually react. β
"Of course, don't be proud, you can activate the merit tablet, but you just passed the primary selection conditions. In history, countless mortals or monks, even demon beasts or demon clans who had been recognized by the merit monument, were unable to meet the test conditions of the merit monument, and finally gained and lost. β
"That's probably how things happened, I can swear to the sky, there is no half-lying sentence in what I said above, otherwise the sky will thunder and thunder, and I will not die!"
After a long silence.
"Oh, is it over?" Zhang Sheng seemed to be recalling what Pu Shulun said just now, but he didn't notice that Pu Shulun had stopped and looked at him eagerly for a long time.
"How?"
Zhang Sheng shook his head: "It's not good, because everything is you talking to yourself, if you swear to be useful, there should be few living people left in this world." β
"I don't believe that Tian Daoyou didn't tell you about the oath of the cultivation realm! Think about it, we are cultivating the Heavenly Dao, if we easily break the oath, wouldn't it be a deception to the heavens? Do you think that the Heavenly Dao will bypass this kind of monk who eats and drinks himself and deceives himself?" Pu Shulun can't wait to show his heart to Zhang Sheng, "If you really don't believe it, let's go to Tian Daoyou, he can testify!"
"Excuse me!" Zhang Sheng categorically denied, "You can find anyone, don't go to Tian...... Predecessor. β
Maybe you are not in the same group, but in any case, I don't want to go to Tian Luting again, because I am afraid that he is really in the same group as you, and in this way, I will destroy my good impression of him.
"You kid, you don't want to think about it, what do we want from you? Erase you, for me, it's just a thought. To put it mildly, the birth and death of the entire solar system is also a thought to us!" Pu Shulun lost his patience a little, "Let me tell you, in the entire cultivation realm, who doesn't dream of becoming a saint? We don't say anything about maintaining the safety of the reincarnation realm, just cultivating the new holy secret method and achieving eternal life is a temptation that cannot be resisted at all! Why are you so unenlightened? You must know that there is more than one merit monument in this world, maybe other merit monuments have already found its owner, and if it is too late, the number of saints will be gathered, and it will be too late to regret it!"
"Okay, Senior Pu, if you were me, would you believe this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing?" Zhang Sheng sneered, "I'm just a mortal, and suddenly one day, you came to me and said, I'm a candidate for sainthood, why? The world you describe is too beyond my understanding." So I'm sorry, no matter how beautiful this dream is, I don't want to do it. Even if what you say is true, then I will be generous and give this place to others. β
"Why are you so!" Pu Shulun couldn't understand which tendon was wrong with this second goods, and after he showed his ability to fly to the sky, he still didn't get in, and he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
"What are you special!" Zhang Sheng replied without hesitation, "The surname Pu, Lao Tzu is leaving, either you kill Lao Tzu in a special way, or you will stay away from Lao Tzu in a special way! Destroy the solar system? Even if you explode the entire universe, it will be a matter of Lao Tzu's trouble! Eternal life? If living is a kind of pain, this kind of eternal life is different from tormenting in hell with a hammer?"
After Zhang Sheng finished speaking, he got up and left.
"Then why are you alive?" Pu Shulun did not use his magic to contain Zhang Sheng, but suddenly asked after Zhang Sheng had walked a long way.
Zhang Sheng suddenly stiffened his back.
yes, what the hell am I doing alive? Especially when I live so hard!
Do you want to take revenge? What kind of revenge? Without the arrogance and arrogance of the past, there would be today's down-and-out wandering? Moreover, in today's society, only one hand covers the sky, and men steal and prostitute women, but they are happy for a while, and sooner or later they will be like their own father and themselves. Otherwise, how could there be so many wealthy officials who are desperately trying to emigrate? What are some of them worried about, it goes without saying!
Repay whom! I'm blind now!
Those people who have helped me? But he's a monk and needs my help?
That style and hard work, is there still Ai Fengli?
They all have stable jobs and don't need my relief. And I'm just a passer-by in their lives, they are good people, but being good doesn't mean that they have to pour all their life's energy into themselves......
Even if I just died, it might be more meaningful to them. Because I'm dead, it doesn't matter if it's bad, and they won't worry about the scum who once helped a dog who can't get rid of eating shit......
