Chapter 313: Interlude
Chapter 313 Interlude
The moment I opened my eyes, I was expecting what would happen to the scene in front of me, but no, the scene I saw under the pupil of heaven was no different from what I usually saw, which made me very frustrated. This first attempt ended in failure, but it made me understand two truths: first, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment; Second, don't think that just because you have a little talent, it's amazing.
Well, I'll admit, I'm a bit greedy, in the realm of microvision and the world of banging bronze plates (with all due respect, the names of these two realms are too arbitrary. I have indeed achieved great things in a very short period of time, so I am a little complacent, thinking that this secret technique of walking on the ground and flying on the wall is probably nothing more than that.
However, this was not the case, and it didn't take long for me to try no less than a dozen times, each time in failure, and because of my aggressiveness, my physical strength was depleted very quickly, and soon I couldn't see clearly. Just as I was about to try again, Ji Ziyang suddenly stopped me.
"Enough, you need to rest." He said coldly.
I sat down on the ground and didn't want to move, well, I took back what I said when I practiced beating the bronze plate, beating the bronze plate is not the most boring thing, practicing the cornice walking is. For a whole day, there was no progress, and I suddenly realized why my grandmother and the abbot felt that I was pressed for time, and at this rate, let alone half a month, even if I was given another year, there might not be any big progress.
After dinner, according to my grandmother's instructions, I went to her room. After playing the bronze plate and beating it five times, I was waiting for my grandmother to make a move, but she didn't expect her to say that she was tired, so she kicked me out, and she didn't even ask me how I practiced today. I didn't sleep well all night, and my problem was not very good, but whenever there was something in my heart, I couldn't sleep at night. After a night of tossing and turning, I came to the cave early the next morning. What surprised me. Grandma didn't come today. It turned out to be the abbot with a silver beard and silver eyebrows.
"Master." I said respectfully.
"The little donor practiced the secret art yesterday, can you make progress?" The abbot asked with a smile.
"The master smiled, had no clue, and failed repeatedly." I said helplessly.
"That's exactly what your grandfather said." The master said with a smile. "Your grandfather went down to the mountain today to deal with some mundane things. Let me come and take care of you. What do you think. Can you tell me about your experience? The abbot said.
"My grandmother told you about me? What did she say? "I'm not worried that the abbot will know about our family's secret techniques, after all, he doesn't know the ability of the pupil of heaven, but he cares more about what grandma will say.
Your grandfather said. This granddaughter of mine, everything is good, just a little smart, plus a little arrogant, the trials I arranged for her before, she completed well, there are elements of talent, there are elements of master's guidance, and some elements of luck. So now she may not be able to make a breakthrough even if she has been practicing for ten years and a hundred years, she is arrogant and anxious, but this time, she will make a big mistake. That's why your grandfather asked me to come over and help you. The abbot said.
I really know me, grandma. No wonder she didn't ask last night, it turned out that she had expected such a result a long time ago.
"Then there's Master Lao." I said, and then I told the principle of the secret technique of flying eaves and walls, as well as the story of the ants, and the situation of my failure yesterday, and the old monk did not speak, but listened quietly.
Finally, I finished talking about all the processes, and the old monk nodded, "Amitabha, when I first saw your grandfather, I knew that she was not an ordinary worldly woman, but I didn't expect that in your generation, it would be even more difficult for women to have such natural powers." Forgive the old man for taking the liberty of not knowing the secret technique of the following little benefactor, the pupil of heaven, but I am afraid that such a secret technique will be difficult to see again in my lifetime. ”
"That junior is ugly." I closed my eyes, then opened them again, and then glanced around the cave, and finally stopped my gaze on the top of the cave, and I saw a figure there, wandering around, always without a fixed place, at first glance, it was a resentful soul who did not want to be reincarnated, I looked carefully at the figure, like a monk in a robe, looking at the robe, it should be the appearance of a monk who has attained the Tao.
"Abbot, I have a question." I say.
"Little donor, please speak."
"Are there any highly respected monks in our temple who have mysteriously disappeared?" I asked.
The abbot suddenly fell silent, thought for a while, and said, "Not in the past, but I have one thing in mind from a long time ago." ”
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"I had an uncle, I was young at the time, and he was already a very prestigious monk in the monastery at that time. My ancestor, the abbot of the previous generation, once intended to pass on the mantle to him, but this uncle was unwilling to inherit the position of abbot and left a letter to cultivate immortals in the mountains. The abbot said.
"Alas, I'm afraid that the road to cultivating immortals finally leads to the ghost gate." I say.
"What did the little donor say?" The abbot asked.
"I'll take you to a place, and you'll know when you get there." I said, "By the way, it's better to bring a few more people and let them have tools that can dig the soil." I instructed.
"Yes, it's just that where does Xiao Shi take me?" The abbot asked.
"Master, if I want to go to the top of this cave, is there a way?" I asked.
"Naturally, there is, and there is another path not far away, which leads to this." The master said and led the way ahead.
In a short time we reached the place I said, which was a small cliff with the cave at our feet.
"This is it." I watched as the spirit swirled around me, and he looked at me, then pointed to the ground beneath my feet, and gave me a salute, to which I returned the salute. "Master, do you remember what that uncle looked like?" I asked.
"At that time, I was still young, but my uncle often lectured to us, and of course I remember what he looked like." The master said.
"Does he like to wear a robe embroidered with purple gold thread, with a tall figure, a little dark skin, and a scar on his left arm?" I asked.
"You...... Little donor...... You are young, how do you know what my uncle looks like? The abbot asked in surprise. That robe is the treasure of our temple, because my uncle became a monk and stole the robe, and it made a fuss. Uncle Shi did have a scar on his hand, one year there were bandits in the temple, Uncle Shi alone against four thieves, although he narrowly won, but his left arm was slashed, almost unable to save. Later, although the arm was healed, it was left with a very deep scar. ”
"Your uncle did not cultivate immortals, let alone steal the robe in the temple, but was killed by someone, and blamed him for stealing the robe. Your uncle's body is right down here, if you don't believe it, you can dig it up. I said.
"Come on, according to what the little donor said, dig up this place and take a look." Said the abbot.
"What a disciple with no memory, he actually believes in the words of the demon girl, the sacred place, every inch of land and every inch of gold, how can it be turned at will." A voice suddenly sounded behind him, and an elderly monk walked over, beside him a warrior monk like these fierce and vicious Hades.
"Master." The abbot suddenly bowed to the old monk.
"Master?" I think that old monk should be the same age as the abbot, how can he be the abbot's master, the abbot and grandma are about the same age, how can he be sixty or seventy years old, his master, how can he be eighty or ninety years old. But the person in front of him doesn't look like it, no matter how you look at it, it's just a little black at the moment.
"Where did the demon girl come from, she is full of nonsense here, and someone came to blast him out for me." A few warrior monks said that they were about to make a move, and the abbot saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly came up to persuade peace.
"Master, Uncle Shi disappeared inexplicably back then, and now the little donor says that he has found Uncle Shi's soul, if he can return Uncle Shi's innocence now, Uncle Shi may be able to see it under Jiuquan." Said the abbot.
"Smack!" The old monk actually slapped the abbot in front of everyone. "Evil obstacles, your uncle, left everyone in the temple, for his own selfish desires, ran to the mountains to find immortals and asked, ignoring the expectations of your ancestors, and stealing our treasure of the town, the purple gold robe, it is really heinous." The old monk said angrily.
"You ......" I was about to defend when someone pulled my hand, and I looked down to see that it was Gozen. Before I could react, Gozen took my hand and ran, and I was pulled by him and ran out of the way. It was noon at this time, and Gozen and I trotted to the mountain gate, and Gozen seemed to be familiar with the road, and led me to a hut made of thatch, which was so small that it was not easy to find in the dense grass.
"Is anyone catching up from behind?" Goseon asked.
"Nope." I looked at the back and said.
"That's good, if you get caught by that old bald donkey, you can stand it." Goseon said.
"Bald donkey? How can he say that he is also your ancestor, right? What do you call him? I asked.
"He's not a good person, he always comes to the temple to show off his might, and the master seems to be very afraid of him." Goseon said.
"He is your master's master, and he naturally has a reason to be strict with your master, but I see that he seems to be very nervous just now, especially when I said that the abbot's uncle's body is there, his expression is very unnatural, I guess he must have nothing to do with the death of your uncle." I say.
"The master also told me a little about the master and the ancestor, but how did you know about the matter of the master and the ancestor?" Goseon asked.
"I'm ......," I hadn't finished my sentence when suddenly a voice overhead interrupted me.
"So you're hiding here!" (To be continued......)
