Section 110 The Game of the Divine (Diseased) Dragon
"There is no you, no self, no mercy and no desire, don't you need to worry? What is the difference between this situation and being replaced? โ
For some reason, Tom, who was frightened by the dragon's words, seemed to have sensed what the game that the neurotic dragon was going to play with him in front of him.
"Ask the ancestors to save me..."
But at this time, Tom can't care so much, so quickly kneel down and ask for help.
"It stands to reason that I shouldn't have saved you. The so-called causal cycle is unpleasant with retribution. If you absorb the mana cultivated in front of Hu Tuo, you should naturally suffer the evil consequences of being transformed by Buddhism.
But who has made me idle lately? So, I'm going to teach you a way to save yourself and see if you can free yourself from the Dharma transformation of this lotus flower. That's the game I'm telling you, you say, isn't that a really fun thing? โ
Shenlong seems to be more inclined to talk to himself than to talk to Tom. And it is not difficult to see from the words that this neurotic dragon doesn't seem to care much about Tom's life and death.
"You want me to save myself, don't you?"
Hearing this, Tom immediately fell into despair. Believe in a neurotic dragon's way to save yourself? Then he might as well jump directly from this mountain rock and commit suicide.
Moreover, according to the usual treatment of the traverser, shouldn't the neurotic dragon here be the Sariputa who kneels down and begs Tom to help him solve his heart? Why did Tom's turn into a game of ill intentions? Should the difference be so obvious?
"What? Don't want to? If you don't think you're being saved, what reason do you think I have to save you? โ
The dragon's words exploded in Tom's ears again, and Tom's heart trembled. It can be seen that the neurotic dragon is very dissatisfied with Tom's ignorance.
"Yes, of course I am willing, please teach my ancestors how to save myself."
Helpless, Tom could only choose to give in. After all, it's better than nothing if it's unreliable.
"Hahaha, that's right. The dragon clan is to dare to challenge the heavens and the earth and fight against life and death. What is the help of others? Success through one's own efforts is a true hero. โ
โยทยทยทยทยทใโ
Tom was too lazy to deal with the gossip of the Neurotic Dragon. You hang like this, why are the bones being used as food outside? Crazy, this dragon is really crazy.
So, in the thunderous laughter of the dragon, Tom, who was constantly complaining in his heart, suddenly had an extra piece of information in his mind. Then, as soon as his eyes flickered again, Tom returned to his previous cave.
When Tom's gaze returned to normal, he noticed that his hand was still touching the keel. Everything just now seemed to be nothing more than a sudden daydream he had.
"How did the dragon and keel change..."
However, it turns out that everything just now was not just a dream. Because in front of Tom, the keel was still crystal clear and white as jade just now. Suddenly, as if something had been removed, it instantly turned into a miserable white bone, no different from ordinary white bones.
"This, what's going on? I didn't do anything, did I? โ
And for all this sudden happening, Coulson, who was the only one present who had touched the keel, subconsciously thought that all this was caused by him.
"Stop, we all know that Agent Coulson doesn't have the ability to do anything under our watch. It must be, something happened that we don't know about. โ
And Tom, as the initiator, is actually very clear. The change in the keel has nothing to do with Coulson at all. Because, the person who caused the keel to become what it is now actually has a lot to do with Tom.
The reason why the previous keel looked brilliant and crystal clear was actually because of the miraculous anomaly of the relics that Tom devoured, and the reason was basically the same, all because of the mana remaining in it.
The root cause of the Hand Lady's ability to prolong her life by devouring the dragon bone is also because of the mana remaining in it.
And just now, when the neurotic dragon kicked Tom out of the dragon tomb, he easily channeled all the remaining mana in the keel into Tom's body, saying that it was some prepaid game money.
That's why Tom stopped a few mutants who were going to come over and capture Coulson. Because he knew very well in his heart that all this was a cauldron of the neurotic dragon.
"Although we all know that the keel's mutation can't have anything to do with you, Agent Coulson. But, in fact, the keel changes after you touch the keel.
Therefore, you S.H.I.E.L.D. must give us an explanation. Keel, I can still get you a piece back to study. However, if you S.H.I.E.L.D. can't give an explanation for this, then please return the keel. โ
However, Tom didn't want to help Coulson get the black cauldron off him. Instead, Tom went up and brushed the black pot on Coulson's back with a layer of ash. After all, Tom couldn't explain what had just happened.
Moreover, Tom also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get his hands on the complete keel. God knows what the Psychosaurus had in mind, though Tom himself could tell that the Neurosaurus didn't really care about the bones in front of him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the group of ninjas in the Hand Guild beat his keel's idea.
But, Tom, who has a whole set of keels in his hand, can he say that he has some chips?
"This, well..."
Coulson hesitated, but agreed to Tom's request with a wry smile. After all, this time the black cauldron, he really carried it too steadily. If he didn't agree to Tom's proposal, he probably wouldn't even be able to bring the keel back to S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Oh, your keel..."
Seeing that Coulson agreed to his request, Tom didn't say anything more. Walked over to the dragon's large skull, broke off a dragon's tooth bone and handed it to Coulson.
"Magneto Leader, do you need a few keels to study?"
Then, Tom looked at Magneto again. After all, at the beginning of the dragon bone, Daredevil and they had promised to give it all to Tom. As for Lao Wan, he did not raise any objections to this matter at the beginning. He cares more about the whole Hell's Kitchen than about the keel.
"We don't want it. If you watchmen do come up with something, just send us a copy of the results... โ
Sure enough, Magneto didn't have any idea about the keel at all.
"Okay..." Tom nodded, and then to the long-legged ones, he said, "Remember the keel as it is, and have it moved back to the largest room in our Pioneer Mansion and set it up as it is." Remember, not the slightest damage to each keel. โ
After all, this keel may be a bargaining chip for Tom and the neurotic dragon in the future, so Tom naturally has to keep it properly.
"The keel is in your hands, and we are reassured Mr. White. Unfortunately, we didn't get to keep even one of the three fingers of the Hand Clan. It can be expected that Mrs. Gao and they will definitely not give up. Therefore, we need to hurry back and investigate the possible next attack of the Hand Clan. Let's take our leave. โ
As the Watchmen carried the keels to the ground one by one, Daredevil and his friends also took their leave. After all, their purpose this time has basically been achieved.
"Okay..." Tom nodded: "I'll trouble you when I monitor the Hand Affair." โ
Although it is a passive defense, it is conceivable that this time, the mutants in Hell's Kitchen must have offended the Hand fiercely. With Daredevil and their gang of superheroes and mutants monitoring the next dynamics of the Hand Mix, of course Tom couldn't ask for it.
ยทยทยทยทยท
"Sure enough, anything that has the breath of life cannot be manifested. Even if it's a dead bone. โ
The next day, Tom sat cross-legged in his practice room with a disappointed expression. He had just tried to manifest the keel, but the result was that the embodied light from his eyes couldn't even be reconciled.
This manifestation once again confirms Tom's speculation that neither alive nor dead, anything that once had the breath of life cannot be manifested.
"Next, it's time to try the solution to Sariputta that the neurotic dragon gave me."
Although he was a little disappointed, Tom, who had already guessed, was already prepared after all. So, he quickly collected his mood, slowly closed his eyes, and began to try the solution that the neurotic dragon had taught him.
"Is this my soul?"
The next moment, a transparent Tom suddenly appeared next to Tom, who was sitting cross-legged. It is Tom's soul that is transparent, and it is Tom's body that sits cross-legged.
This is what the neurotic dragon taught Tom to take the first step in solving his heart and mouth Sariputta and condensing his soul.
Because Tom was originally a spiritual mutant, he recently had something to do with the spiritual power feedback method he got from the ancient one. Therefore, Tom's soul is actually very strong and solid.
Therefore, Tom easily did the first step of condensing his soul.
"The next step is to go and see with your own eyes the Sarisha who wants to transform me."
Then, like a gust of wind, Tom's soul drilled into his body and heart, where he was seated.
"This is my heart? It's ordinary. Unlike coconuts, there are no tears. โ
Immediately after, Tom's shrunken soul came to his trembling heart.
"Sariputta, I don't know why, it's much more refined than what I have observed with my spiritual power. I don't know, it's because I've seen it with my own eyes. It's because of my recent cultivation, which makes him even stronger. โ
Then Tom saw the jade-like Saributa suspended in the center of his heart.
