Chapter 3 The White Ape Looks at the Moon
A ray of sunlight fell into Liu Cheng's eyes, and the dust in the room was as hazy as insects under the light, which made him realize for the first time that the bright world was so beautiful. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he felt that he had been asleep for a long time, but in the depths of his mind, there were still bursts of tiredness.
"This is the place that Liu Jiangyu arranged for me and imprisoned me?"
Liu Cheng propped up his body and looked around, this is a very simple wooden house, two or three pieces of furniture, the material is not wood and stone, and the primitive can not be more primitive.
"You're awake." Suddenly there was a sound outside the house, the door was pushed open, and an old man approached with a clay pot.
Liu Cheng opened his mouth and asked, "Is this still Nebula City?" How did I never come from here. ”
The old man stroked the gray beard at the corner of his mouth and said, "You are in distress in the Barbarian Forest, it was the Ape King who saved you, this is no longer Nebula City, but the depths of the Barbarian Forest." ”
Liu Cheng's face changed, and he exclaimed: "Deep in the barbarian forest? The Ape King? ”
"The Ape King is a white-haired giant ape, the overlord of this barbarian forest, it has given birth to spiritual intelligence, and it takes good care of our human race, and often saves some monks in distress in the barbarian forest. For more than ten years, some of the rescued people did not want to leave due to their own reasons, so they built villages here and served the ape king for generations. ”
"It is also under the protection of the Ape King that we people can survive in the depths of this wild forest. You recuperate first, wait for your injuries to heal, and then decide whether to go or stay. The old man explained that he was full of energy, not at all like the old man of the armor, and when he mentioned the king of apes, his tone was full of gratitude and reverence.
"I was in the outside world, and I heard that the white ape saved people, but at that time, it was just a rumor on the market, but I didn't expect it to be true." Liu Cheng said in shock that he had already agreed that he had left Nebula City, because Liu Jiangyu didn't need to make such a joke with him.
Suddenly, a deep tiredness invaded his mind, making him dizzy and wanting to fall into a coma again.
"Meditation! Concentrate! The old man suddenly touched his hand on Liu Cheng's forehead, poured pure yuan power into Liu Cheng's body, warmed Liu Cheng's soul, and then said very solemnly: "I see that your yuan power cultivation is not but a threefold introduction, but the body shell has reached the realm of enlightenment, it seems that it is a divine cultivation that majors in divine power, but now the soul has been withdrawn from a corner, causing the realm to fall, although that corner is not the root of the human body of the three souls and seven spirits, but it also causes your six gods to lose their minds, and you are tired and always want to fall asleep, so you need to meditate to cultivate."
The monks in the world are divided into two categories: Yuan Xiu and Shen Xiu, both of which have rigorous systems and complicated processes. Yuan cultivates the dantian and travels the Jindan Avenue; God cultivates the source and proves the eternal true self. Although they are in different forms, they are both specific means for monks to evolve themselves and sublimate their lives. Liu Cheng is gifted, accompanied by the spirit, and the path of spiritual cultivation is smooth, so ninety percent of the ten percent of his cultivation is based on the spirit, and now the spirit is taken away, and he naturally falls into the realm and is riddled with evil diseases.
"What should I do?" Liu Cheng asked. The old man easily analyzed the reason, and the attitude of a master in the world made him very respectful.
"Empty your mind, and be quiet to nourish your mind." The old man handed the clay pot to Liu Cheng: "This is the hundred fruit wine brewed by the King of Apes, drink some, it is good for the spirit."
Liu took over the clay pot, tried to close his eyes and calm down, and after a long time, he suddenly woke up and said, "It's difficult."
"People exist because of their thoughts, and if you only sit cross-legged for a moment and want to empty your mind, isn't it the same as the rumored forgetfulness of the gods?" The old man smiled and spoke, then took out a piece of jade jue from his arms, handed it to Liu Cheng, and said: "This is a spell, created for the ancestors of the village to watch the ape king looking at the moon, named "White Ape Moon Gaze Formula", which can help you calm your mind and heal your soul wounds." ”
"Senior, how can this make..."Liu Cheng hurriedly refused, as the so-called law is not lightly transmitted, each law is condensed with the wisdom and experience of the sages, it is the specific presentation of merit and Taoism, and its value can be seen, but at this time it was easily awarded by the old man, which made him a little unbelievable.
"Everyone in the village cultivates this method, which is not precious," the old man waved his hand and said, "You have been asleep for a few days, drink some fruit wine first, and I will go and fetch some food for you." ”
"Thank you, senior." Liu Cheng thanked him, took Yu Jue, and looked at the figure of the old man walking out of the wooden house, very grateful.
"Good wine!"
After taking a sip of fruit wine, Liu Cheng sighed in admiration. He once served as a captain in Xingyunji, and he drank countless drinks in the army, but every time he got drunk, he got more and more drunk, how could he have such a fruit wine in his arms at this time, he drank it and swept away his fatigue, and the whole person relaxed.
Seeing the old man entering the house with dried meat and rice bowls, Liu Cheng hurriedly asked: "Senior, you said earlier that this wine was brewed by the King of Apes, could it be the rumored monkey bar?" ”
The old man smiled slightly, put the things in his hand on the wooden table, and said: "This wine is made by the king of apes picking a hundred fruits in the forest and hiding them in a thousand-year-old tree hole, which is not only a hundred fruit wine, but also known as monkey wine." The king of apes has good wine, and it is easy not to give it to others, and this jar of yours is also what I asked for with a lot of effort. ”
"Then I'm going to save it, thank you seniors." Liu Cheng said with a smile, he was a young man, at this time, he let go of a little worry, the whole person became active, kept talking with the old man, wanted to understand here, the old man knew everything, and solved Liu Cheng's doubts one by one.
"Okay, Liu Cheng, when you are full of wine and food, you will go out for a walk. The hour is coming to an end, and the cultivation of the people in the village is almost over, so I'll take you to meet you. In the conversation just now, Liu Cheng had already introduced himself to the old man, so the old man knew his name.
"Okay." Liu Cheng's heart moved slightly, he drank fruit wine, ate food, and was no longer as tired as at the beginning.
The open space outside the village, the morning glow is brilliant, like broken gold, sprinkling like broken gold, clear and soft. An old tree hangs down, grabs the stone with the clouds, and throws the shade of the tree far away against the slanting sun, and under the shade of the tree, a group of children, ranging from four or five years old to ten years old, can have more than a dozen people, are jumping around a copper tripod to exercise their physique. There was an open fire under the copper tripod, boiling the clear crystal liquid in the tripod, and a trace of mist filled the water, and a few young and old people sitting not far away quickly incorporated it into their bodies and practiced the exercises.
Liu Cheng and the old man approached, and the children suddenly cheered, stopped practicing, and surrounded the two of them, pestering the old man with gossip. The adults not far away stopped their cultivation and got up with a smile, and two or three young people who had climbed onto the branches of the old trees to cultivate also jumped down.
"Patriarch Grandpa, is he the one rescued by the Ape King?" A seven or eight-year-old child with pigtails on both sides of his head pointed at Liu Cheng and asked.
The old man smiled and nodded, touched a child's head, and said, "His name is Liu Cheng, you have to call him brother." ”
"Yes." The children shouted in unison, but then there were naughty bear children who made faces at Liu Cheng, and there were also well-behaved children who ran to Liu Cheng's side and shouted Brother Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng greeted him with a smile and got to know the children one by one.
"Okay, today's cultivation is over, let's go home and eat." The patriarch spoke.
The children cheered again, and then they dispersed and rushed to their homes to prepare for breakfast.
At this moment, a shirtless man with a strong body walked over. said to Liu Cheng: "I heard it just now, your name is Liu Cheng, right, my name is Yuan Zhihu, and I am the leader of the hunting team." ”
"Hello, Leader Yuan." Liu Cheng looked at the visitor, this was a very tall man, with black hair scattered, red fruit on his upper body, bronzed muscles, and black skin; The lower body is wrapped in animal skin, barefoot, but the temperament is not wild, but there is some silence between the eyebrows.
"Take care of your injuries, don't think about it." Yuan Zhihu glanced at Liu Cheng, and then turned to the old man and said, "Patriarch, there is something important to discuss. With that, he motioned for the old man to look ahead.
"Isn't the hunting party out hunting with the King of Apes? How did you get back? The old man asked, and then glanced at the few old men and young people who were talking about a bunch of people in front of him, his face slowly became serious, and after arranging for Liu Cheng to go back to the wooden house, he strode forward.
"It's not been peaceful lately." An old man sighed.
"Old man Yi, what you said is like when the barbarian forest was too peaceful." Another old man teased.
"Eh, I said Liu Pingzhou, will you die if you don't raise the bar with me for a day?" Old man Yi's beard was all open, and his face was full of anger, which attracted the dissuasion of the people around him.
"Hehe," Liu Pingzhou snickered, the old man over half a hundred years old behaved like a child.
"Hello Patriarch."
"Patriarch!"
"Huaiyeol, you're here."
At this time, the patriarch approached, and everyone greeted him. The patriarch's name was Su Huailie, and he was one of the most prestigious old men in the village.
"Zhihu, why are you back?" Liu Pingzhou found the figure of Yuan Zhihu behind Su Huailie.
"Uncle Pingzhou." Yuan Zhihu raised his arms to greet him and said, "Something happened. ”
"Huai Lie, you came just in time," Old Man Yi is also an old man in the village, the same as the patriarch, he said: "Recently, the barbarian forest has not been peaceful, the ape king has not returned for a few days, and the hunting team has found traces of brute beast activities ten miles outside the village. ”
"Oh, ten miles outside the village? This is terrible, although there are many birds and beasts in the territory of the Ape King, there can never be another brute beast. Su Huailie pondered.
"It's true, this Zhihu can prove, and this is also the reason why he suddenly returned to the village." Old man Yi said.
"Yes, on a hill about ten miles outside the village, a huge hoof print was found several zhang wide, and many old trees were destroyed, all the way to the inner belly of the barbarian forest! Now the ape king and they have found a big guy, and they are about to hunt and kill, and they can't leave for a while, so I will go back to the village to inform everyone. Yuan Zhihu spoke, and with a single speech, a layer of gloom appeared on everyone's face, and Liu Pingzhou also became serious.
"The soles of your feet are several feet long?!" A young man didn't believe it, he was one of the hunters in the village, his hair was cut clean, and he was jokingly called bald, but his cultivation was very high, and he had a bye on this hunt, so he didn't go.
"Bald, didn't you hear the point of the leader? That brute beast came out of the belly of the barbarian forest! ”
"One hundred thousand miles of the inner belly of the barbarian forest, it is rumored that the inner belly of the barbarian forest is a basin, a hotbed for brute beasts and big demons, which is equivalent to the immortal country and holy land of the human race."
"I hope this brute beast is just passing by, otherwise the consequences cannot be imagined." Someone is worried.
"It's going to be a catastrophe, maybe we should prepare early and at least find a way out for the children."
"Women and children can't be told about it, they can't be frightened."
"Uncle Pingzhou, tomorrow you will instruct the children to practice as usual." A young man suddenly thought.
"Maybe it's not that bad."
"It's not a bad thing to prepare early."
A group of people are gossiping, but they are all thinking about the village and thinking about the difficulties.
The wooden house at the head of the village, the patriarch is in the center.
A piece of white and transparent jade Jue was attached to Liu Cheng's forehead, he closed his eyes tightly, sat cross-legged on the stone bed, absorbed the information in the jade Jue, and began to comprehend the Fa Decision.
This kind of jade jue, also known as jade gui, can store graphic consciousness, and is the most basic magic weapon for monks.
The calculation of relatives, the withdrawal of spirits, the fall of cultivation, the loss of the six gods, and so on, all came so suddenly, Liu Cheng didn't have time to sort out his mood, and the unknown barbarian forest made him deeply uneasy. The cultivation that was once proud of itself is now not one in ten, and the divine cultivation talent that was once brought by the divine spirit has also disappeared with the departure of the divine spirit. If it weren't for the obsession of burying him deep in his heart, making him unwilling to die happily and choosing a painful life, perhaps he would have given up struggling at this time.
Struggle!
The depths of the 100,000-mile barbarian forest are like the abyss, and the hotbed of brute beasts and demons is like a peerless domain. But the most dangerous places are also the safest! A "White Ape Moon Jue", a heart that has worn out pride and struggled desperately, this is already him, all the hole cards!
