Of course, the story that Xu Kang told Lu Zhi and others was not made up by him, but a story that others had already made up, and this story was still very famous.

It's called "Journey to the West", and the author is Wu Chengen.

The so-called "past" that Xu Kang said just now actually comes from the episode when Sun Wukong went to Penglai to learn art from Bodhi Patriarch.

From this plot, Wu Chengen not only presents readers with the power of a proficient Buddhist Tao, but also vividly expresses Sun Wukong's tricky and stubborn monkey nature, which is impressive at a glance.

Even the people of later generations are still like this, let alone the Eastern Han Dynasty, a dynasty that lacked spiritual entertainment.

With Xu Kang's narration, Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song were fascinated.

At this time, what the two of them were thinking about was not whether this matter was true or not, but how things would develop next.

The impatient Huangfu Song immediately asked Xu Kang.

"What happened later, Edek? You don't learn this or that, Bodhi Ancestor is angry? ”

"Well, angry!"

Unlike the previous two times, this time Xu Kang nodded seriously.

"The master was very angry and scolded me, 'You wicked obstacle, you don't learn this or that, I'll teach you to taste the power of the precept ruler!' After saying that, he hit me three times on the back of the head with the ring ruler, and then closed the middle door and left. ”

Hearing this, whether it was Huangfu Song or Lu Zhi, they all showed such a look of "sure enough", and randomly asked, "What happened later?" Yide, did you go to Bodhi Ancestor to admit your mistake? ”

According to their thoughts, Xu Kang should have confessed his mistake to the Bodhi Ancestor, and then begged for the other party's forgiveness, and finally learned his skills.

But what they didn't expect was that this time Xu Kang shook his head again.

"No, I waited until the third watch, when the other brothers and sisters were asleep, and I sneaked into the master's bedroom!"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhi's eyes widened with curiosity again, and Huangfu Song couldn't help but ask directly, "Yide, what did you do in the middle of the night in the third watch of the Bodhi Ancestor's room?" Admit your mistake? ”

"Hehe, of course not!"

Xu Kang smiled and shook his head before explaining to Huangfu Song.

"Master hit me three times during the day, and then closed the middle door, this is to let me enter the back door to learn the Tao during the third watch, the other brothers don't know Master's true intentions, but I know!"

"Oh, I see!"

After hearing Xu Kang's explanation, Huangfu Song showed a look of sudden enlightenment, "This is the Bodhi Ancestor testing your understanding, ready to teach you your true skills!" ”

"Hehe, that's right!"

Xu Kang smiled slightly, and at the same time, a trace of memory appeared on his face.

"When the Master saw that I had a good understanding and remembered that I was pious and eager to learn, he said, 'I have here the art of stealth and stealth change, which is divided into two types, one is thirty-six changes and the other is seventy-two changes, which one do you want to learn?' ”

"Shhh...... The art of change? Hearing this word, Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song immediately gasped together.

For later generations, the art of change was only a part of fiction or mythology, but in the era of Taoism in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was an important part of Taoism.

At first, the art of change was only a relatively basic type of Taoism, but by the time of the Jin Dynasty, the art of transformation had become a major category in Taoism and had formed a huge system.

The most famous work is "The Five Elements of Mozi".

According to the records inside, the Taoist method can make people fly into the sky and the earth through the use of medicine or talismans, hide their forms, change into a woman with a slight smile, become an old man with a frown, and squat on the ground and become a child.

As for what is thrown into a forest, painted into a river, and turned into a mountain, it is not a problem.

For such a record, later generations will laugh at most when they see it, but when people of this era read it, they will take it seriously!

As for whether anyone can do it, it has nothing to do with Dao Arts, because Dao Techniques are real, and if you can't do it, you haven't cultivated to the home!

Quite powerful logic!

Under the influence of such logic, even people like Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song think that Taoism is real.

So when they heard Xu Kang talk about the art of change, the emotions of the two of them instantly rose, and they asked Xu Kang in unison, "Yide, you actually learned the art of change?" ”

Looking at the fiery eyes of the two, Xu Kang first nodded, and then shook his head.

Seeing this scene, although Lu Zhi was full of curiosity, he still held back, because he knew that Xu Kang would always give him an answer.

But Huangfu Song couldn't help it, and immediately put his hand on Xu Kang's shoulder, and asked eagerly: "Yide, what do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?" Did you learn the art of change or not? You shouldn't stop studying because you can't live forever, right? ”

Look at his eagerness, as if he was the one who made the choice.

Xu Kang resisted the urge to burst into laughter, biting his lip with his teeth, and then nodded with a dejected face, "Learned!" ”

"Learned? Really learned? ”

Originally, Huangfu Song thought that Xu Kang had not learned the art of change, but he didn't expect him to say that he did, but after seeing his depressed appearance, he suddenly became puzzled again.

So he asked again, "Why are you so depressed since you have learned, is it because you haven't learned?" ”

"No, I learned!" Xu Kang nodded again.

"Huh? Learned? ”

Hearing his words, this time not only Huangfu Song, but even Lu Zhi couldn't help but ask.

"Now that you have learned, and you have learned again, why do you have such an expression? Could it be that something happened after that? ”

"Exactly!"

Xu Kang was waiting for Lu Zhi's words, so he immediately nodded, and at the same time sighed again.

"Alas, it's all because I'm too flamboyant, and I only learned a little bit of skin, so I played it off in front of my brothers, and when the master learned about it, he said, 'I passed on your skill of change, did I let you show off in front of others?' I will not condemn you, but you go, from where you go back and forth. ’”

"What?" Hearing this, Huangfu Song became anxious again, "Patriarch Bodhi is driving you away, so what did you say?" Can you ask him? ”

"Please!"

Xu Kang nodded, recalled the plot in the TV series, and brewed his emotions for a while, before he opened his mouth with a hint of choking.

"I beg the master not to drive me away, I have been taught great kindness by the master, and I can't repay it, how can I leave!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song couldn't help but nod, obviously such a reason was also in line with their values.

However, judging from Xu Kang's "emotional" performance, they felt that the outcome of the matter might not be satisfactory, so they didn't ask any more questions, waiting for Xu Kang to say it himself.

Under the gaze of the two, I saw Xu Kang's face sad, his eyes were red, and there were faint tears flashing in his eyes.

"Although I pleaded with the master, the master said that he didn't want me to repay anything, as long as I got into trouble in the future, I didn't tell him, and said that from now on, I am not allowed to say that I am his apprentice, and he will not see me again!"

With that, he lowered his head again, and the moment he bowed his head, a tear flowed from the corner of his eye, marking a tear stain on his face.

At this moment, Xu Kang, who is racing with all his might, is full of firepower, and his state is close to exploding!
