Chapter 1: What is it like to be reborn as a sage?
Winter is approaching, and the vegetation on the deer dwarf mountain is beginning to wither one after another.
A sunset set across the western sky, casting a dim light and shadow.
On the small bridge in the mountain, seven simplely dressed Taoist children are sitting on the ground. Next to the bridge, under the locust tree, an old man leaned on his knees, napping cross-legged.
Except for the sound of the babbling stream, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.
The mountain wind was cold, and the faces of the Taoist children were red from the cold, but they didn't dare to move, so they could only raise their eyes and look directly at the figure under the locust tree.
After a long time, a faint snoring sound came from the old man's nose, and a few Taoist children began to whisper.
"The immortal master is asleep. ”
"Nonsense, the immortal master doesn't need to sleep, he must be in a fugue. ”
The two on the left are newly recruited Taoist children who have entered the mountain, and they are even younger in comparison, and they are also unscrupulous in talking.
"Don't speculate at will, the immortal master only completed the spirit liberation yesterday, and these few days are the weakest time. The older Taoist boy on the right lowered his voice and reminded him, for fear of disturbing the old man resting under the tree.
"Senior brother, what is Jie Ling?" Xiao Daotong turned his face and asked curiously.
"Sure enough, it's a mountain boy, I don't know. The older Taoist boy glanced at him, and replied with some disdain, and only said after a while,
"In layman's terms, it is to strip yourself of your own distractions.
Because people have greed, especially cultivators, who pay attention to having no desires and no desires, they are prone to a lot of negative emotions when they are suppressed for a long time.
This emotion will gradually become our second consciousness, which is extremely vicious, controlling our body when we are emotionally disturbed, and the so-called demonic is manipulated by this consciousness.
Only when you reach the realm of an immortal master, completely strip away the evil spirit in your heart, and then kill it when it is formed, can you make yourself perfect and become a true sage. ”
After hearing this, Xiao Daotong nodded excitedly, looked at the old man's eyes more and more respectfully, and said: "I have long heard about the deeds of the immortal master in Yao Kingdom when he was in his prime, and he has always been in awe, and now he has finally become a sage. ”
"Don't say more, just wait. The immortal master has been very weak recently, don't disturb his old man's rest. ”
Several people hurriedly shut their mouths and sat honestly in place.
Before you know it, the sun has completely set in the western mountains, and the sky is gradually darkening.
The temperature in the mountains also began to drop, and the Dao boys shivered with cold, but even so, no one dared to stand up.
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the forest on the other side of the bridge, and a young man rushed madly.
"Immortal Master, something happened. ”
The young man looked flustered, and after stumbling several times in a row, he ran to the locust tree, and shook the old immortal master's shoulders in the surprised eyes of the Taoist children.
"Something is wrong!"
After a few pushes, the old immortal master's body trembled and opened his eyes.
The young man lowered his head and said incoherently: "Immortal, immortal master, your evil spirit, he, he just moved!"
"Nonsense, the evil spirit will take three months to form, and now it is just an embryo, how can it move. Hearing this, the old immortal master was slightly angry.
The young man was so anxious that his forehead sweated, and he organized the language: "It's true, just now I was wiping the idol on the altar, and I saw the evil spirit embryo under the tribute platform moving, and he ...... He's still talking. ”
The old immortal master stood up, frowned, and felt that the young man didn't seem to be lying, so he asked, "Do you really see clearly?"
The young man nodded firmly: "I carry an oil lamp, and I can see it clearly." ”
"Can you hear what he said?"
"I heard it, but I didn't know what it meant. The young man made a reminiscence, "It seems to be said: It is difficult to cross the groove." ”
......
Scorching Temple, in front of the statue of the barbarian god.
Fang Yang looked around.
Directly ahead, the ancient Buddha of the green lanterns shines brightly, and the screen is covered. There are also sandalwood incense burns under the tables and chairs made of stoneware.
Behind him is a rectangular tribute platform, which is full of delicacies, which seem to have not been left for long, and are still steaming.
There is a plaque hanging on the door, and four large gilded characters are shining.
"It's unattainable. ”
These furnishings are antique, which makes Fang Yang feel very unfamiliar.
I remember that I was buried alive by a landslide during a trip, and then I lost consciousness, but I woke up again and became the scene in front of me.
However, this was not the most surprising to him.
The weirdest thing is that now, it seems, I have become a third-person perspective.
Same as in the game.
Be all abroad......
The self-driven body is like a huge silkworm chrysalis, without hands and feet, and can only move around with consciousness.
"Did I cross over, or did I go to the underworld?" Fang Yang muttered to himself.
In a daze, the sound of being pushed through the wooden door outside the hall came from the sound of being pushed.
Someone came in.
Fang Yang turned his head and saw several figures swarming in, led by an old man in a ring robe, and dozens of Taoist children behind him, all carrying oil lamps.
These people are dressed retro and have different expressions, but they all lock their eyes on themselves.
Fang Yang only felt like a thorn in his back, and couldn't help but take two steps back.
"Immortal Master, look, look, I'm not lying, he's really moving!"
The young man pointed at Fang Yang and shouted loudly.
There was no need for him to remind him, and the old immortal master set off a turbulent wave in his heart at this time.
After three hundred years of experience, it is the first time I have encountered such a strange thing, even in the records of the Taoist scriptures, I have never heard that the newly stripped evil spirit embryo has the ability to act.
"Hurry up and find your little aunt!" Knowing the horror of the evil spirits, the old immortal master quickly calmed down and stood in front of several disciples.
The evil spirit is all the negative emotions stripped from his body, and he planned to take shape in three months, and then he will kill it again, but he didn't expect the embryo to wake up in advance, according to his current state, he is not sure that he can compete with the evil spirit.
"Protect the Immortal Master!"
Someone shouted.
Soon, more than a dozen Dao boys surrounded the old immortal master.
Everyone assumed a posture of vigilance.
"Really crossed?" Fang Yang muttered to himself, already seventy percent sure in his heart.
It's just that this situation and this scene make him a little unclear.
Looking at the decoration, this place looks like a shrine, and most of these people around are Taoist priests and other characters, and they seem to be quite afraid of themselves.
Half a minute passed, and the two sides confronted each other like this, and no one moved.
Fang Yang's side didn't move, while the old immortal master's side was sitting on pins and needles, especially the group of Dao boys standing in front, beads of sweat were already oozing from the corners of their foreheads.
"What about the Immortal Master?" asked a Dao Tong.
"Don't move, this evil spirit embryo has not yet given birth to eyes and ears, it may not be able to hear or see, and you will make plans after your little aunt arrives. The old immortal master said this, he didn't have a free explanation in his heart, it stands to reason that the evil spirits are irritable, but the performance of the embryo in front of him is unusually quiet.
On the other side, Fang Yang listened to the conversation between the two and probably knew something.
They call themselves "evil spirit embryos".
Although I don't know the meaning, I can still realize that this group of people is by no means friendly to me.
If you really wait for the arrival of the "little aunt" in their mouths, I am afraid it will be dangerous.
Realizing this, Fang Yang made a decision.
He controlled his chrysalis-like body and moved forward.
Sure enough, the Taoist children were so frightened that they retreated.
Fang Yang then moved again.
This time, the Dao boys dispersed directly, and a few of the younger ones ran towards the outside of the Scorching Hidden Hall screaming.
"Don't move, the evil spirits can't hear or hear now, but they feel it. The old immortal master looked at the group of disciples who had not yet made it, and could only blow his eyebrows and stare at them.
The evil spirit was stripped from him, and his combat power was at least half of that of himself in his heyday, although it was only an embryo now, but its strength should not be underestimated.
At this time, there were only a few meters left, and the old immortal master, who had always been unfazed, also had a chill on the back of his neck.
