Chapter 11: The Old Man

Three years later, in the territory of Xiniu Hezhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the foot of the mountain, in the ruined temple. A collapsed old man, lying on a pile of hay, with his head resting on his hands, on Erlang's legs, and a tattered cloth shoe hanging from his feet. Humming a little song leisurely, he looked outside the temple gate and shouted: "Monkey, okay, do you want to starve the master to death?" ”

"Alright, alright," and with a reply, a boy who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old walked in, still holding two freshly baked sweet potatoes in his hands. The boy was not tall, but his eyes were bright. It's the monkeys.

When the old man saw that the sweet potato was coming, he immediately got up. I took a large one and ate it while blowing hot air through my mouth.

At this time, the monkey said leisurely: "Master, my surname is Sun, my name is Sun Monkey, my grandfather used to call me 'Monkey'er, don't keep calling me Monkey, Monkey's, how ugly!" ”

"Yo, when you grow up, do you think 'monkey' is ugly? Okay, don't call you 'monkey' anymore, your surname is Sun, then ...... Let's call you 'grandson'. Go to 'Sun Tzu' and get some water for the master. ”

The muscles on the monkey's face twitched obviously, and he lowered his head in despair, handed over the water bag and said, "You still call me 'monkey'!" ”

This old man is the one who is immortal and bonely, the Bodhi Patriarch.

The Bodhisattva Patriarch looked at the monkey with satisfaction and said, "Is this right, we cultivators, don't pay too much attention to the things that appear on the surface, but pay attention to the original heart." ”

"Got it, master." In my heart, I thought, "Dead old man, do I have to feel happy to call me 'monkey'?" Countless times in my heart, I scolded the 'dead old man' and said with a smile on my lips: "Master, over the years, you have always asked me to meditate and meditate, saying that it is for me to practice my divine sense. When will you teach me some real kung fu? ”

"Little brat, I'm just impatient." The old man said while eating, "Actually, cultivating divine consciousness is the premise of cultivating this 'Seventy-two Changes of Xuantian'. ”

"But I thought I've been practicing for three years, and nothing will change!"

"Ha, ha, ha," the old man laughed and said, "What do you think seventy-two changes should look like?" Turning to stone makes you invulnerable? Can you turn into a bird and take to the skies? ”

"Isn't it?" The monkey asked, confused.

"Of course not, there is no such spell in the world. The so-called change is to use a powerful divine consciousness to affect the other person's five senses, that is, the five senses of 'sight', 'hearing', 'smell', 'taste', and 'touch'. Let him see the image you want him to see. Of course, at the beginning of the shallow period can only affect one or two feelings, and against one or two people, it can't be too far. If it's more advanced, it can affect everyone within a certain range. This mainly depends on the strength of the divine consciousness and the quality of the exercises. Therefore, it is only the appearance that changes, not the change itself. ”

"Isn't this the same as the trick in the rivers and lakes, a trick? Alas, master, you hit me on the head again, am I wrong? ”

"Of course it's wrong, this 'blinding method' is fundamentally different from the other 'blinding method'. You're just getting started, and you don't see much of a difference, but when you get to a high depth, the difference will be big. When your consciousness is strong enough, you can even change the form of everything around you within a certain range. ”

"So what?"

"You've got it." The old man tossed aside the roasted sweet potato rinds that he had eaten. Calm down, he said: "Change". I saw that the old man's body instantly rose a foot higher, and his whole body trembled up and down. The old man in front of him suddenly turned into a big man, the big man stood up and took a few steps forward, and disappeared after brushing it.

Monkey, immediately turn around and look for it. Suddenly, a white-fronted tiger appeared in front of him, pounced on the monkey. The monkey stepped back in fright, and the sweet potato in his hand fell off. Everything in front of him disappeared again, and only an old man was left, who caught the fallen sweet potato and ate it again.

"These are all scaremongering things, and they don't have any power at all?" The monkey watched the old man eat his sweet potatoes and said dissatisfied.

"Too ignorant. You must know that immortal methods and Taoism are not all things that fight and kill. Our main focus in this Dao is divine consciousness, what is divine consciousness? It's mental power. As long as your mental power is strong enough, you can even command your opponent to commit suicide directly. Do you think that's powerful? ”

"When I was a child, my grandfather told me stories. It is said that there are adult fox fairies in the mountains, and they will confuse adult men and take them to the mountains to eat. How can it be so similar to the exercises you said! Could it be that master, you are a fox spirit? ”

The old man was furious when he heard this, and he stood up and was about to beat: "Little rabbit cub, you stop for me, dare to say that the master is a fox spirit." ”

"Master, don't be angry, I said something wrong." Seeing that the old man's beard was about to rise, the monkey laughed in his heart. "Let you lie to me about eating sweet potatoes."

Seeing that the old man was really angry, he immediately ran over, rubbed the old man's shoulders and hammered his back, and said, "I just think it's a bit similar to the fox spirit bewitching people." ”

Only then did the old man pick up the sweet potato again and said, "Do you want to say, these monsters have natural powers, and they are related to divine sense." After the fox became a climate, his divine consciousness was indeed powerful, but it was still slightly different from ours. ”

"I also have supernatural powers! Didn't you say that as long as I learn to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, I can use it? ”

"I have also checked your physique, you do not have a spiritual root in your body, and you cannot sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. None of these cultivation methods are suitable for you. ”

The monkey lowered his head and said, "Then I have no hope at all?" ”

"That's not necessarily, your body is fused with the essence core of the spirit stone. The physique has changed, and it can be said that it is a half-human, half-demon body. That is, 'shemale'. ”

"Human, human, shemale...... Are you kidding? ”

"That's probably what it means, you can't use ordinary cultivation methods, but if you can find some demon beast cultivation methods, you may be able to do it."

"Where do you have to find it?"

"This ...... only depends on your chance."

"Oh, so you can't help it when you're old?" The monkey said stupidly.

"However, you don't have to be discouraged, this 'Xuantian Seventy-two Changes' can be regarded as a miracle skill, and it can be practiced without a spiritual root. Although he can't practice those powerful spells that use the aura of heaven and earth to cast. But if you cultivate to the highest level, you can also achieve the same goal as an immortal cultivator. ”

"What's that?"

"Break through the realm and ascend to the true immortal realm."

"True Immortal Realm? What is the True Immortal Realm like? ”

"I haven't been, how do I know? Anyway, this exercise is very harmful. ”

"How much harm can it be? At the beginning, he told me that the eldest husband wanted to take revenge with his own hands. I think you can't beat them, so run away with me. The monkey muttered quietly.

The old man's ears were very smart, and he gave the monkey a shudder when he returned his hand. "What nonsense? That's because the patriarch doesn't have the same knowledge as those worldly people. I think that at the beginning, the Tao of this ancestor was superb, and there was no match in the universe, if it wasn't for a moment of carelessness......"

"Being victimized by a traitor, so that he hurts the source, and his power is completely lost." As soon as he was halfway through speaking, the monkey spoke, "The apprentice knows, master, you have experienced the most trouble, and you don't need to say it more than a dozen times a day." ”

"Tell you, if it weren't for the oath made by the patriarch, he wouldn't kill again. Just a few mortals, where will they be in the eyes of this ancestor. ”

"You don't kill anymore. Then why didn't I catch the rabbit last time, don't say that I was released by you, I have found the rabbit bones. ”

The old man was annoyed and angry, grabbed the monkey, and knocked on his head violently: "I will talk back to the master, and I don't see you working so hard in ordinary practice." ”

The monkey hugged his head and begged for mercy: "Master, I was wrong, I was wrong, spare me, I'll go to practice." ”

The old man knocked a few more times, and then he was relieved. shouted to the monkey: "Contradicting the master, I will not be spared next time." Don't practice today, go and bring the master's package, and change clothes for the teacher. ”

"Master, are you going out to deceive people again?"

"What did you say?" The old man glared at the monkey angrily.

The monkey immediately changed his words: "Master, are you going to meet guests again?" ”

"Hmph, it's not big or small. Didn't you see that many people from the rivers and lakes have been going to Aoba City these days? The master will take you to see the excitement. We also went to Aoba Castle to see what was going on there. ”
