Chapter 564, an autumn rain and a cold
"The seventy-two changes of the earth are not only for Sun Wukong." Lu Cheng explained, "This is an ancient spell, but because it is mixed with illusion and has the purpose of demagoguery, it is often considered a small way, and Tiangang 36 becomes authentic. ”
Qi Hufei suddenly said: "No wonder I see that the Heavenly Immortal Dao Law mentions the thirty-six changes of Tiangang, but there is no mention of the seventy-two changes of the earth. I thought that the seventy-two changes were Sun Wukong's unique spells, but I didn't expect it to be a small way. ”
Lu Cheng said: "In fact, there is no difference between avenues and trails, the key is the person who uses it. However, the seventy-two changes are indeed too complicated, and practitioners who are lazy in this kind of small technique will inevitably fall into it, and they will learn erudition but not well, and it is easy to be complacent and move their minds, and unconsciously deviate from the avenue. Therefore, the ancient sages did not advocate the miscellaneousness of learning, but only asked their disciples to specialize in the same, and to improve all the way and experience the end of the avenue. The so-called 'people's hearts are in danger, the Tao heart is only subtle, but the essence is the only one, and it is allowed to cling to the middle'. ”
"That's what the gentleman said." Qi Hufei nodded unconsciously, "In the twenty years since I entered the Yellow Flower Temple, Master has almost never taught me spells, except for building a foundation, he just argues with me, and it is easy to reason. At that time, I didn't think that the sect was small and small, and there was no Taoist inheritance, so I could only learn some basic things and say some empty words. Now that I think about it, I was really young and ignorant, and I couldn't understand Master's painstaking efforts. ”
"The predecessors of the inorganic son are really gods and men!" Lu Cheng sighed, "It's a pity that Lu is so lucky that he can't see the real person, it's a pity!" ”
Qi Hufei smiled: "What's the regret about this, it's not that my master won't come back." ”
Speaking of this, I suddenly felt suffocated, only to realize that it had been half a year since Master left. After 20 years of dependence, Qi Hufei has long regarded him as a close relative, and once he parted, he would inevitably miss him.
I don't know where the master is at the moment? The bat demons are already dead, and the matter of the demon mirror seems to be investigated by the heavenly court, so why can't they come back?
It turns out that when we are together every day, I always look forward to when the master will retreat and when he will go out, and it is best that the master will not be on the mountain all the time, so no one will take care of him, he can be lazy, he can indulge, he can secretly study some evil ways, and he can use the little money he has saved hard to go to the county town for a good meal...... However, every time I walked around the door of the row of taverns and restaurants, I always tightened my pockets and didn't go inside, and I only bought a baked cake and went back to the mountain satisfied.
Now that the master is really gone, his heart is empty, as if something is missing.
Lu Cheng saw that Qi Hufei had a different color on his face, and knew what he was thinking, so he didn't mention it anymore, but returned to the topic just now: "The cultivation of the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord in the early years was above and below the seventh grade, and when the realm was about to be broken, it was a matter of time before the cultivation of the seventy-two changes of the earth shattered. Because of this, no one expected that he would refine the magic weapon of 'Thousand Faces'. ”
"But isn't it hard to maintain a different look with seventy-two changes? How can there be a natural and comfortable use of Dharma instruments? Qi Feifei asked.
"Not really." Lu Cheng said, "For people with high mana, it is not difficult to maintain a certain appearance, but most of them disdain it. Also, there is another reason why I have this speculation. ”
"What is the reason?"
"The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord Wan Qiming once took in an apprentice, whose specific identity is unknown, and it is said that he is a traitor who escaped from a certain righteous sect. In Wanjiao, there are many such people, so no one pays attention to them. Soon after, the Battle of Junting Mountain broke out, and the core force of the sect was almost wiped out, the sect leader disappeared, and the ten thousand sects fell apart. Later, in the process of verification, I found out that Wan Qiming's apprentice was from Nalan City. ”
"Nalan City? The biggest cultivation sect in Nalan City is the Duanmu Royal Family, could it be that he is a member of the Duanmu family? ”
Qi Hufei was immediately alert, and connected a series of recent events, and the truth was almost about to come out.
Why would a cultivator who is at least four grades or above run an underground gang in a bustling city like Nalan City? At the beginning of the establishment of Mahjong, it was an underground business that was taken over from several major families in Nalan City, the most important of which was the Duanmu family. Coupled with the recent expansion of mahjong, its intentions to target the Duanmu family everywhere are very obvious.
"Quite possibly. The Duanmu family is the old royal family and the direct descendants of the Golden Sacred Palace. The secret realm of the Holy Palace, it should be said that it is the Golden Holy Palace, I don't know what relics this lady left behind? Lu Cheng said, "But no matter what the truth is, this matter is a good opportunity for you to win over the Duanmu family." Don't look at them as just a family, but the descendants of the royal family are quite powerful, and there have been several great figures for more than a thousand years. In addition, since the Winter Moon Maiden handed over the relics to you, then no matter what is hidden in this Golden Sacred Palace Secret Realm, you will not be able to get rid of it. ”
Qi Hufei felt uncomfortable when he heard the word wooing, and said: "Didn't Mr. just say that the eldest husband should act with conspiracy, just pay attention to the situation and follow the trend, why is he asking me to use conspiracy and tricks now?" ”
Lu Cheng laughed and said: "Yin is within the yang, not in the pair of yang." How can a husband act in a way that is immutable? The so-called one time is also, that time is also! ”
Qi Jufei also smiled: "Mr. is really eclectic. ”
Immediately, his face turned grim and he asked, "Since the Heavenly Monarch of Hundred Transformations is most likely the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord of the year, this person should be eliminated!" ”
Lu Cheng reminded: "This person's cultivation is at least above the seventh grade, and he is ruthless and deceitful, so the head of the family still has to be careful." In my opinion, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, so you might as well figure it out slowly. ”
Qi Hufei shook his head and said: "In order to refine magic weapons, kill people and skin them, and smelt their souls, this person is simply heinous, and he pretends to be sanctimonious, pretending to be a heavenly monarch, I don't know, now that I know, I can't let it go unpunished." What's more, most of the Dongyue incidents this time are related to him, if I ask me to verify this matter and don't let him taste the taste of skinning and refining his soul, I am really unwilling! ”
Lu Cheng said: "In addition to his own profound cultivation, there must be someone behind the crimes committed by this person, who can be safe and sound after taking refuge in the Heavenly Court, and be crowned the Heavenly Monarch." ”
Qi Hufei said: "It doesn't matter who is behind him, even if it is the Jade Emperor?" What I have to do is always what I have to do. ”
Lu Cheng knew that he couldn't persuade him, and his face was still a little solemn at first, but after hearing Qi Hufei say this, it seemed that he had seen the Yin Sect Master again, and he didn't feel relieved, and his heart was a little more excited.
"Good!" Lu Chengzheng said, "The head of the family wants to get rid of it quickly, and I also want to know the truth about the battle of Junting Mountain back then." In that case, let's plan well......"
……
It started to rain at noon. As the saying goes, an autumn rain is a cold, and when this rain comes, the little animals on the mountain also know to prepare for winter.
If you are in the wild mountains and old forests, these monsters that have become spirits are more worried about the winter than ordinary animals. Because they eat an astonishing amount of food, unless they can accumulate some immortal herb elixir on a regular basis, otherwise surviving the winter means that their cultivation will regress due to the lack of food.
An ordinary squirrel, a few dozen pine cones can get it through a winter. But a squirrel who has opened his mind and is already practicing spells can't live on a few pine cones. If you put a few tons for him, it won't be enough for him to eat, because the nutrients of the pine cones are not enough to support his cultivation.
But they can't hibernate like bears, because a hibernation not only means a regression in practice, but it is also extremely dangerous. As spirits who have achieved cultivation, they have special spiritual fluctuations on their bodies, and if they are discovered by other spirits, they will inevitably become a delicious meal in the belly of others. One spirit eats another, and it's enough to survive the winter. Therefore, in the cold winter, it is easy to fight among the spirits in the wild mountains and forests who do not interfere with the river water in the season when there is plenty of food, which is why it is difficult for the number of goblins to increase on a large scale like that of human monks.
However, these monsters on Pansi Ridge are undoubtedly lucky. Because of the existence of Huanghuaguan, they don't have to worry about how to survive the winter at all. There are sheltered houses for them, and there is plenty of delicious food.
However, they also have to take care of their kindred and future generations. Pansi Ridge is so big, but there is more than a rabbit and a snake. It is impossible for Huanghuaguan to raise all the small animals within a radius of hundreds of miles. Therefore, as soon as winter comes, they are also busy, taking care of their own cultivation while also taking care of their friends of the same clan and clan.
Qi Hufei also encourages everyone to do the same. This shows that these guys who have become fine have begun to have humanity. He never thought that this rabbit was more noble than that rabbit if he opened his mind earlier. All living beings have spirits, and whether they are noble or not is the result of spiritual practice, not genetically determined, and sometimes it is just a little bit of luck. Just like people, some people are born with a golden key and have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, while some people can only struggle on the poverty line for a lifetime, worrying about a full meal. Do you say who is more noble than whom?
He knows a lot of words, learns a lot of knowledge, Dong is civilized, polite, and looks humble and gentlemanly; To be a big official, to do big business, to talk eloquently on the rostrum, to scold Fang Xuan at the wine table, it seems that he is a great sage and a powerful ...... But in fact, it was only because of a better background than others. If you were born in troubled times or in a poor mountain, you haven't eaten a few mouthfuls of milk since you were born, you have been malnourished since you were a child, you have to do laundry and cook at the age of five or six, go up the mountain to chop wood, and become the main labor force in the family when you are ten years old, do you see if he still understands civilization and is polite after 20 years? Look at him sitting on the rostrum of thousands of people below, and he still can't speak? When you get to the wine table, can you still talk and laugh and guide the country?
So in this world, how easy is it to talk about the word equality? The distribution mechanism, the social system, at best, is fair, and it is already remarkable.
If you really want to be equal, you must first give me equality in all births.
Of course, do you say that the animals on this mountain are gentle and humble? Definitely not. Snakes eat rats and wolves eat meat, nothing will change. Qi Feifei also didn't want to turn Pansiling into a monk's temple and let everyone be vegetarian. He can only do what he can and do what he can.
The afternoon rain stopped, and a long rainbow hung in the Rainbow Valley, from east to west, across the entire canyon, like a colorful bridge.
Qi Hufei stood quietly under the bridge, behind him was a steaming hot spring of dirt, and in front of him was a pomegranate sapling that had just grown and was still extremely weak.
It wasn't until the rainbow above him slowly faded into the clear sky after the rain that he took one last look at the pomegranate sapling, and then rose to his feet and flew to the west.
It was still raining in the mountains west of Pansiling, and Qi Feifei was almost chasing the rainy cloud all the way to the west, and almost all the way to the rainbow after the rain, as if chasing a colorful dream.
Until the rain cloud was hit head-on by a westerly wind, it suddenly turned north and went to Lion's Camel Ridge. Qi Hufei saw the vast Qijiao Ze clearly, and not far away was the place where the bat demon had been battled.
The huge pit that the dragon's tail crashed out, the scorched earth left by the burning straw, and the sword marks left by the sword qi sweeping over the rocks are all vividly visible.
The corpse of the blue whale in the distance had long since decomposed, leaving only those shocking huge white bone spurs into the sky. The rotting flesh-nourished earth blossomed one after another of unknown splendid flowers, as if spring had arrived, in stark contrast to the scorched earth and the cold climate around it.
Death is the beginning of a new life. War leaves behind peace, but how long can this peace last?
Qi Hufei did not stop, flew over this scorched earth, and soon came to Lingxi Town.
Lingxi Town is still desolate, and the residents of the town have not returned. Although after the last battle of the Siren landing, this place is actually safer than ever. But the fishermen don't know this, and for them, the government's relief and resettlement is much better than what they used to live as a fisher in this town. Since no one forced them to come back, it is natural that they are living comfortably on the receiving funds, and some young people are longing for life in the big city, and they insist on carrying their bags and going to distant places. The people above did not dare to take too many risks, and whether to let these fishermen come back would have to wait for the new head of the Coast Guard station to make an assessment.
Qi Hufei walked through the damp houses that had grown moss, all the way to the beach. He was thinking about the future construction plan of Lingxi Town, should more mortals come in and turn this place into a lively coastal town? Or is it that all of them are composed of cultivators, so that this place has essentially become a branch of the Yellow Flower Temple.
After arriving at the beach, because there were water droplets on his body, he easily walked into the sea, as if he had passed through a gate of enchantment, and walked freely in the sea.
He first came to the crater that suppressed the white dragon. He didn't know why he came here in the first place, but he always felt relieved to come and see it. After he repaired the formation, there was no trace of anyone moving. Passing through the magic circle, entering the crater, coming to the belly of the mountain, entering the deep underground cave, I saw the white dragon.
Thirty-six and the Celestial Dragon Thorn still stood there. The white dragon is dead, but its body shows no signs of decay, and it is still as crystal clear as a white jade carving. The dragon's head hung on the ground, and the dragon's whiskers floated in the sea like seaweed, gently fluttering as the water ripples brought by Qi Hu flew in.
Qi Fei approached the dragon's body and gently stroked the dragon's skin with his hand. However, at that moment, the white jade-like dragon skin suddenly lit up in the sight of his divine sense, and he had a feeling like he had been electrocuted.
Qi Hufei was startled, quickly took his hand away, and quickly retreated to a very far place. Only then did he realize that it was not the dragon body that was glowing, but the two closest to him among the thirty-six Heavenly Dragon Thorns. As he moved away, the two glowing Celestial Dragon Thorns slowly dimmed.
These days, the dragon thorns can actually feel the proximity of the living. Qi Hufei suspected that if he reacted slowly, he would be pierced by ten thousand swords like the original white dragon.
Sure enough, it wasn't just a matter of strength to pull out the Celestial Dragon Thorn.
Qi Hufei left the dragon's lair, returned to the sea, and headed west. He is going to see Xiao Liuzi now, but there is no direct communication between him and Xiao Liuzi, so he can only enter the waters of the dragon clan first, find the patrol Yaksha, and let him report it.
