Volume 4: The Eventful Years Chapter 172: Legend [1]
The remains of the houses covered in the mountains and forests, as for the other clues, they were not noticed at all, and this senior could actually judge these many things. What's even more admirable is that Cangjie just explained lightly, and then brushed his sleeves past, without the slightest intention of opening and exploring.
An ancient master cave who cultivated at least in the transformation realm has never been opened since it was sealed, and it is likely to contain all kinds of magic weapons and elixirs that are difficult to find in the world, and even the cultivation secrets left by the predecessors with great magical powers. If such news spreads outside, it may attract countless monks. Even those secrets in Baixi Village have attracted "rogues".
When chatting on weekdays, Hou Gang also told Baoyu that Mr. Cangjie traveled all over the world to check the texture of all things, and stumbled upon the ruins of the ancient monk's cave in the mountains and wilderness, far more than once, and he had long been experienced in this. At the beginning, it was determined that some caves had been abandoned and uninhabited, and Cangjie had gone inside to investigate, found some magic elixirs, and also seen the remains of many ancient monks.
Cangjie once lamented that many of the so-called cave ruins are actually just tombs. Many of the monks who sit in the middle of it think that they have cut off the fate of the world and devote themselves to cultivation, but in the end they will only leave a pile of dry bones in the world, while some of them have not left any heirs, and finally die alone, even representing the severance of a lineage.
In the ruins of the ancient monk's cave, it is not surprising that some magic artifacts have been found, but it is very rare to obtain the secret method inheritance. Because the vast majority of monks in the world cannot have the cultivation of the Seven Realms and can leave a divine message to future generations with the great magical means of the idea of the gods. And even if he has such ability, the mana left behind by him will gradually dissipate over the long years.
As a result, future generations discovered the ruins of the cave, and they could not know what kind of experience their predecessors had, what kind of perception they had in their cultivation and exploration, and what experiences they encountered in their lives.
Hou Gang also privately told Baoyu that it was not easy to open the cave found in the hunting garden intact, not to mention that its owner might still be in retreat. In Mr. Cangjie's view, it is better to find other totemic inscriptions left by generations than to spend that effort.
In fact, most of the totem carvings of the past dynasties are left on the ritual vessels of the gods, rather than on the magic weapons of the monks, and more on the relics left by ordinary people, which is what Mr. Cangjie really wants to observe.
......
In fact, if Cangjie's cultivation is to fly into the sky, he can turn around the sky above this hunting garden in half a day, but his purpose is to carefully search for those various carvings that are difficult to find, so he must walk all over the mountains and fields in a down-to-earth manner.
There are many places where there is no road at all, Baoyu and Xiaotian are nothing, but he is very worried about whether the monkey will be able to pass, but Baoyu soon finds that his worries are unnecessary, because Cangjie is there. Whenever the road is difficult, Cangjie takes a step while carrying the monkey with an invisible mana, and there is no obstacle to trekking through mountains and rivers.
This unintentional display of the great magic method also opened Baoyu's eyes.
Cangjie observes not only the rock paintings left by the barbarian tribes a long time ago, but also the traces of birds and beasts and various natural textures. There are a lot of bare stones in this area, and the natural lines on them are like various runes, some are cracks, some are traces left by plant growth, and many are even traces of ancient creatures.
When Cangjie saw these traces, he would also use the branches to trace them very seriously, as if he was contemplating and experiencing something. Along the way, Cangjie told Baoyu a lot of his cultivation insights, not involving specific secret methods, but mostly talking about the "texture" of all things in heaven and earth.
It is not only a rock painting of the ancients, a certain crack in the stone, but also the direction of the mountains and rivers between heaven and earth, the shape of the sun and the moon, and the changes of wind and clouds, just like an unfolding picture scroll, and what Cangjie saw in it were condensed runes.
Cangjie also smiled and told Baoyu that if his cultivation could break through the Six Realms in the future, he would be able to feel the spiritual breath of all things in heaven and earth. Only with this as the foundation can we master the great means of supernatural power that gives all things the idea of the gods.
Baoyu has always followed Cangjie with a respectful attitude and state of mind, and when Cangjie draws runes with branches, he always tries to learn from them. Cangjie not only painted these runes on the ground, but also sometimes on the water, and even in the void, and only with his divine sense could he sense the trajectory of the lines.
As far as Baoyu saw with his own eyes, Mr. Cangjie walked in the mountains for more than three months, at least intentionally or unintentionally, drawing tens of thousands of runes, all of which originated from the texture of everything in heaven and earth that he said. Many of them were seen by Cangjie before, and compared with his new discoveries.
But not all of these runes are "words for words", that is to say, they are not all formed "words", and many of them are made by Cangjie. Along the way, Cangjie is also teaching monkeys to learn various "words", all of which are runes that have been refined and formed, just like those inconspicuous stones in the mountains, which have been refined into magic weapons.
Baoyu and the monkey get along very well together, and they are very happy to talk about various things, this young man who is only one year older than Baoyu is Cangjie's own nephew, and he has not yet been guided to enter the initial realm of cultivation, but he has learned hundreds of "words", and can even use these words to record and describe many things in the world.
This is the purpose of Cangjie to bring the monkey with him, if the monkey can learn, everyone in the world can also learn. Hou Gang was very envious of Baoyu for being able to cultivate like this at a young age, and Baoyu also admired Hou Gang very much.
The three-month trip was very fruitful for Baoyu, who not only saw the inscriptions of his predecessors and the natural traces in the mountains, but also suddenly saw the texture of everything in the world. The Yuan Shen World is invisibly stretching wider and clearer, which means that his cultivation mana is also growing, breaking through the original limit, like three times.
The monkey is learning, Baoyu is both studying and cultivating, and he himself does not deliberately care about how many realms and how many times his cultivation is now. In fact, even Cangjie was secretly shocked, this kid had followed him for more than three months, and his cultivation in the four realms had broken three times in a row, although he had not yet reached the realm of consummation of the nine realms, but it was also fast, at least he had the merits of the four realms and eight turns.
Of course, Cangjie knew that under his intentional or unintentional guidance, this trip to observe the patterns of all things in heaven and earth, as long as Baoyu could enter the country, it would indeed help to cultivate and improve. But this child's diligence and comprehension exceeded his expectations, and he didn't see Baoyu take any divine elixir bait, just with those Jiaoma meat, I'm afraid it won't have such a great spiritual effect on cultivation, right?
Three months later, Cangjie asked Baoyu: "Little sir, we have traveled all over this hunting garden, what have you learned?"
Baoyu saluted and said: "Follow Mr. around, I have benefited too much, and I don't know where to start for a while." ”
Cangjie smiled: "Let's just say that you feel the deepest." ”
Baoyu replied: "It should be the word 'Dao' drawn when I drank with my husband that night, and after following my husband for three months, my feelings are getting deeper and deeper. Mr. creates words for words, can be passed on to the world, and all things in heaven and earth are famous from nameless. But where did all things come from, and why did they come from as they saw before my eyes? I had a little understanding, but I still couldn't explain it. ”
Cangjie nodded and said, "In that case, then you can continue to look for it." ...... There is no need to stay here any longer, and I will look elsewhere to see if the little gentleman is still with me?"
Baoyu asked, "Where does the gentleman want to go?"
Cangjie: "You said that. On the walls of the barbarian tribes and the surrounding rocks, there are many rock paintings carved by the ancestors, so I went to the wilderness to see. I heard that in the wild mountains on the edge of the Xiangmuro country, now the newly feudal Shanshui City, its lord Ruoshan is also a very interesting person. I'm going to go to Shanshui City. ”
Baoyu saluted and said, "Mr. is going to Shanshui City, and I have to go elsewhere, so I regret that I can't go with me." ”
Cangjie: "I almost forgot, you just happened to pass by Gongshan Village, you should be on your way." I'm really embarrassed to let you walk around the mountains with me, but it delayed your trip for three months. ”
Baoyu hurriedly said: "How can you say that. The three months I spent walking with my husband were my itinerary and my cultivation. Sir is my teacher, and he is also the teacher of all the people in the future!"
......
Baoyu finally said goodbye to Cangjie and left, it was summer at this time, and the flowers in the mountains and fields had fallen. Many trees bear dark red round fruits, pick one and taste it, sweet and sour, this fruit is also called "plum". And Baoyu drew the word "Li" for the first time in this world.
The monkey stood on the top of the hill and watched the figures of Baoyu and Xiaotian leaving, and asked Cangjie in a low voice: "Sir, I can see that you admire him very much, why don't you just accept him as a disciple?"
Cangjie didn't speak, but smiled. The smile is very inscrutable. The monkey asked puzzled, "What are you laughing at, sir?"
Cangjie asked rhetorically, "Isn't he my heir?"
The monkey was stunned, and then he reacted and said, "I know Mr.'s great wish, and I also know what Mr. has done." Not only him, but all the people in the world in the future, even in tens of millions of years, will be your heirs. ”
Cangjie said with some emotion: "Gong Yuan's grandfather, I hope I can guide his descendants in the future, in fact, I have been doing this, not just to point out one Gong Yuan, but to guide all the descendants." It's not a one-man business. It is a matter of all generations, not of one country, but of the world. ”
Monkey: "I understand what Mr. means, but I don't mean these, but your secret inheritance, your unique runic powers." There is also the spiritual secret passed down by Emperor Xuanyuan. ”
Cangjie asked a little strangely: "Do you mean to let him worship me as a teacher? If you say it's teaching him to cultivate, do you think you still need me?...... In fact, he has seen my rune secret method clearly in the past few months, and it depends on whether he can comprehend it by himself in the future. ”
There was a divine thought in this sentence, which answered the monkey's doubts. Baoyu had nothing to hide in front of Cangjie, telling him that he was already fourteen years old. A fourteen-year-old boy had such a cultivation realm, although Cangjie was very calm on the surface, but in his heart he was really terrified, he had never encountered such a situation.
Baoyu's cultivation is the foundation, and Cangjie can also see it clearly, pure and natural. Cangjie pondered in his heart, even if he taught it himself, he was never sure that he would be able to teach such a disciple. If it comes to secret method cultivation, Baoyu obviously has the guidance of his master, and he is unwilling to tell his identity and origin, then Cangjie doesn't have to talk about it.
The monkey was surprised and said, "The spirit secret passed on by Emperor Xuanyuan Heavenly Emperor, you actually left him a heart imprint?"
Cangjie: "I am a descendant of Emperor Xuanyuan, and I have obtained the secret inheritance of the Lingshu. And the Lingshu Technique is only a method of cultivation, not the cultivation path itself. More importantly, it was a guide to the Immortal Land opened up by Emperor Xuanyuan, and Emperor Xuanyuan left this secret with such an intention.
As long as he has the hope of stepping on the path to heaven in the future, and is also the person that Emperor Xuanyuan Heavenly Emperor is willing to see in the Immortal Land Divine Land, why can't I guide him? My great wish is to guide all the people in the world to leave a legacy, but it is too difficult to cultivate the Lingshu Technique, and mastering the words of Weiwen is not impossible for most ordinary people. ”
Monkey: "And when will he react?"
Cangjie: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you react or not, it's just a kind of comprehension, what this child has seen after following me for three months can also slowly comprehend it in the future." After he breaks through the Six Realms, he will be able to open the Divine Thoughts Heart Seal I have left, and it is one thing whether he goes to cultivate or not, but at least it shows him a path after ascending to heaven and immortality. ”
The monkey asked something that ordinary monks wouldn't ask, "How do you know that that road will definitely reach the Immortal Land of Emperor Xuanyuan?"
Cangjie smiled: "It's too early for you to ask this question now. First of all, you have to be able to cross the so-called path of the Eight Realms, Nine Turns, and Seventy-two Steps to Heaven, and secondly, you have to understand the spiritual key thoroughly, and then you can choose to go or not. As for how I know, if I say I've already been there, do you believe me?"
These words stunned the monkey, of course he didn't dare not believe Cangjie's words, even if it was him, he didn't know how high Cangjie's cultivation was now. But according to ancient legends, after the immortal ascended to the sky and ascended to the Immortal Land Divine Land, no one came back.
Seeing the monkey's reaction, Cangjie smiled again: "Don't talk about my cultivation, let's talk about you, don't you envy him very much?"
The monkey hurriedly replied: "I can follow Mr. to study the world, how can I envy the opportunity of others?"
Cangjie: "I'm not talking about chance, but cultivation, I can see that you are very envious." In fact, you don't have to worry, by this time next year, when you have learned a thousand words, you will only be 16 years old. I will guide you into the Primordial Realm of cultivation, and it is up to you how far you can go on the path to heaven. ”
The monkey bowed and said, "I will practice the inheritance of Mr. by heart." ...... It's just that little gentleman, I'm afraid he'll be in trouble if he goes like this. Gong Yuan may not go to him again, but in the eyes of the forces in the country behind Gong Yuan, it is the appearance of this little gentleman who has ruined their big business, and maybe they will investigate or even investigate. ”
Cangjie sighed and said: "Trouble? He is already in trouble! Otherwise, at such a young age, why would he travel alone and not tell his identity even in front of me? After all, this child is still too young, he should make up an identity for himself. But he is definitely not stupid, and if he is smart enough, he will leave the country of Xiangmuro. I'm going to Shanshui City, and he doesn't follow anymore, I'm afraid that's the reason. ”
Monkey: "If he follows you, sir, who will dare to trouble him?"
Cangjie said thoughtfully: "People who are in trouble often have their own things and problems to solve. ...... Monkey, do you really want me to continue to take him with you, is it boring to follow me along this way? It's rare to have a peer who has a lot of fun with him, and he has such a playful dog with him. ”
The monkey was indeed a little reluctant to let Baoyu leave, and when he was told that he had broken his mind, he bowed his head and said nothing. Cangjie looked into the distance with his back hand and said: "This time I returned to Bayuan, I know that the monarch of the Prime Minister's Room has a desire to unify the five countries. But looking at the situation in the countries of Pakistan, I am afraid that the person who can accomplish this is not him. If someone can really unify Pakistan and restore the country of Pakistan, I am happy to see it.
When I was in the capital, the Lord Xiling once asked me if I would like to deign to take up the post of Scholar of the Prime Minister's Country. If Pakistan can really restore the unified Pakistani country of the past, I don't mind doing Pakistan for a few years. ”
The monkey was surprised: "Now that the five kingdoms of Bayuan are evenly matched, do you really think that they have a chance to unify again?...... If Pakistan is unified, are you really willing to be a Pakistani scholar?"
Cangjie said incomprehensibly: "The so-called parity is just an appearance. Since the five countries of Pakistan and Yuan are all under the name of inheriting the orthodoxy of Pakistan, it is impossible to hold each other for a long time, and it is a matter of time before the country is restored, and it depends on who can succeed. As for Chiwangqiu, which is the most powerful in Pakistan today, I am afraid that it is also the most reluctant to see this situation, because the strong and unified Pakistani country is enough to get rid of its influence and control, challenge and shake its current authoritative position.
If we could see this day on Ba Yuan, I wouldn't mind being a master for a few years, and it's actually for you. My hope for you in the future is not only to learn from Pakistan, but also to learn from the world outside Pakistan. But everything has to be done step by step, you can take a good look by my side first-how does Ba Guoxue be?"
The monkey is the happiest friend with Baoyu since he left the wilderness, and he is also a playmate of the same age. The monkey is the descendant of Cangjie, but Baoyu could not have imagined that Cangjie would have such high hopes for the heir, hoping that he would become a scholar in the world in the future, not just stepping on the path to heaven in cultivation.
Before Xiling sent to Feihong City, he had met Cangjie in the national capital, and respectfully asked this senior whether he was willing to deign to serve as the Xuezheng of Xiangmuro Kingdom, even if it was only for a short time! Because as long as this senior nodded, Xiangmuro Kingdom would be able to restore the Xue Palace, which had always been Xiling's wish.
Xiling is very discerning and far-sighted, he is very clear about Mr. Cangjie's wishes, but the small Xiangmu Baguo is not enough for Cangsha's predecessors to stop their travels and nod their heads to agree to such things.
