Volume 3: Those Who Should Think Think About It Chapter 94: Zhu Ming
Although the current Zhu Ming couldn't move or speak due to his injuries and prohibitions, he could still understand the situation within a radius of hundreds of miles, at this time he was very afraid that the clan he was sheltering would be discovered by this clan, once they were discovered by the Xingyao clan, with their current combat strength, it would be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
Even on a sunny day, if you look at the edge of the valley, you can only see a bush growing in the middle of the basin. There is a magic circle laid out by Emperor Taihao back then, although it can't prevent people from entering the ruins, but it gathers the spiritual breath of heaven and earth and does not disperse, not to mention the stars, instead of Bai Sha coming in person, unless he goes directly into the twisted bushes like Xiao Tian, he can't find anything abnormal.
Starfire flew over here unintentionally, he just spread his divine sense to search for suspicious people as much as possible, and the wilderness of such a vast desert was almost endless, and it was impossible for him to personally rummage through every bush. Xiao Tian was sleeping by the lotus pond at the time, and Baoyu Yu was in the meditation and his aura merged with this small world, and there was no trace of anything abnormal.
Although Zhu Ming knew this, he was still inevitably a little nervous, and he was relieved after Xingyao flew away. This place is already very far away from the place where he communicated with Xiao Tianshennian, far away from the activity area of the various tribes, and separated by the snow-capped mountains that are difficult to climb, it is extremely desolate and remote, it must be the edge of the Star's search range, he will not come again after coming once, he should focus on finding other, more suspicious places.
But after experiencing this incident, Chi Wangqiu knew that Zhu Ming had contacted someone in the outside world at a certain time, and he would definitely pay attention to the wild movements in this area, and try his best to find out that person in secret. Therefore, Zhu Ming also had to remind Baoyu and Xiaotian that they must be cautious in the future, and they must not expose their whereabouts to make people notice.
Baoyu was still sitting still, and Zhu Ming noticed the azure rattan ring on his wrist, so he couldn't help but carefully investigate the senses, to see if there was any breath left by the Xuansha, and whether the woman could detect the abnormal movement - this was also what Zhu Ming had always been most worried about. It was only in this state that he could sense the impact of the rattan ring on Baoyu.
Under the investigation, Zhu Ming was completely relieved. This rattan ring has been refined by mana, the texture is tough and immortal and difficult to damage, if it is divided into artifacts by the world, it should be a high-grade weapon, but it is not a real magic weapon, it was just left with the woman's idea of the god. But no matter what kind of god's thoughts, if they stay on this kind of artifact, they will gradually dissipate after a long time, and now there is no trace, even if Xuansha himself comes closer, I am afraid that he will not be able to sense anything.
Baoyu was immersed in that strange experience, the two realms and nine turns in one go, although it could not be called the perfection of the two realms, but with the help of the spiritual effect of the magic medicine, he also unconsciously felt that state and realm, and the abundant divine energy repeatedly ran and circulated in the form and hundreds of veins, gradually integrating with the body and mind, and Baoyu's feeling was a piece of stability. Next, he didn't know what it meant to reap merit and leave his mind, so he might just end his cultivation and sleep naturally as usual, or still maintain a natural state of cultivation in his sleep.
But Zhu Ming couldn't wait any longer, he imprinted a soft thought in Baoyu's mind: "Child, I am the mountain god here, I guided Xiaotian to this place, and Xiaotian brought you here. ...... You take care to stay in this state, stay in this state of mind, and calm your mind so that you can continue to communicate with me. ”
At this time, "speaking" should be very skillful, not only not to scare the child, otherwise it will be impossible to continue to communicate when leaving the fixed state, but also to make Baoyu feel easy to accept, and his mind will not be affected too much and still be stable. Zhu Ming imagined various opening remarks, and finally said such simple words.
Baoyu was really surprised, but in this state, the concentration of the mind is very strong, as long as it is not too much disturbing impact, it still remains sober and calm, which is different from the usual state. Baoyu did not leave the fixed realm, and replied in surprise: "It turns out that this is really the place of the mountain god, and you are the mountain god?"
It's not a matter of speaking, it's a person's mind in a very focused state. Zhu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and the first communication was successful. Obviously, Baoyu sees the appearance of this idea as a part of the surrounding things. Of course, the deep mountain tribes all believe in the mountain god, Baoyu has heard too many stories about the mountain god since he was a child, he is not as clear as the mountain god has long been silent, and at the same time he is convinced of the existence of the mountain god.
Suddenly coming to such a magical place, Baoyu instinctively thought that this was the abode of the mountain god, and even if people didn't know about this place, the mountain god should know. Sure enough, he heard the voice of the mountain god in the fixed realm, although it was an accident, but it was something that the child could understand and accept, and he was naturally talking to the mountain god, just like his mind sensing the world in which he lived.
Zhu Ming only used pure thoughts, containing the meaning he wanted to express, not opening his mouth to sound in his head, this is a special way of dialogue. He added: "Good boy, I am the god of the mountains, and you should know my existence from an early age. You happen to come to this place, and you can enter and cultivate on this throne, so you can communicate with me, so please don't be afraid. ”
Baoyu: "I'm not afraid, you must be a good person, let Xiaotian come here to heal his injuries, and let him bring me to eat such delicious things." What is that, and what is this place?"
Zhu Ming replied: "Don't ask what it is, in short, it's a good thing, and it can't be wasted." As for this place, it's an unknown cultivation treasure land......"
Zhu Ming didn't tell Baoyu that it was an accident, nor did he say that what grew in the water was the legendary Heavenly Emperor's immortal elixir, let alone the shocking names such as the Five-Colored Divine Lotus, Langji Qionglin, and the Dragon Blood Treasure Tree, and he didn't even tell Baoyu that this was the ancient relics left by the Taihao Heavenly Emperor.
He replied in such a simple way, because it was impossible to explain much information to the child in a hurry, and on the other hand, more importantly, it was better not to let Baoyu know in some cases.
If Baoyu accidentally came out of his mouth after returning to the mouth of the unheard of words such as Langji fruit and dragon's blood tree, it would inevitably cause the surprise and questioning of the clansmen, and if it spread again, it would easily attract the attention of Chiwangqiu, who was secretly pursuing. So in order to protect the child, it is better not to let him know too early, and this kind of conversation is easier for a child to understand.
But Zhu Ming also had to explain some concepts, for example, when he said that this was a place of cultivation, what cultivation must be explained to Baoyu? This is a kind of communication of ideas, and the meaning expressed itself contains various explanations, and this is what he told Baoyu-
The so-called cultivation is to discover and perceive the fundamental way that has long existed between heaven and earth, to perceive everything more and more clearly, not only to discover the mysteries of this world, but also to discover the relationship between people themselves and this world. It has layer after layer of realms, and the more you perceive, the more you can grasp, and people will naturally be able to do more, and even the mysteries of everything can be transformed.
Zhu Ming had never explained cultivation to people like this, and even the successors he had guided had directly talked about the supernatural effects of cultivation and the secrets of practicing martial arts, how to enter the initial realm, how to mature in the ninth transformation, and so on. But he didn't say this to Baoyu, maybe it was to make it easier for the child to understand and accept, maybe he himself was also affected by Baoyu's cultivation experience.
Baoyu listened attentively, and the concentration itself was a state of concentration. Later, he asked a lot of questions, and Zhu Ming patiently explained. Although he could communicate in such a magical way, with Zhu Ming's current state, he couldn't condense the divine thoughts with too much information, and at the same time, he didn't want to have too much impact on Baoyu's primordial spirit, so the explanation was very slow, and the speed was similar to the usual exchange and dialogue.
Baoyu and the mountain god kept "chatting" until the second half of the night, which was a new experience that he had never experienced before in his cultivation, and it was the first time he realized that he was cultivating. However, Zhu Ming did not teach Baoyu any secrets, let alone teach Baoyu the various secret cultivation methods he knew, but only explained to Baoyu the various states in cultivation.
Baoyu's cultivation is also a situation that Zhu Ming has never encountered, and at this time he is also thinking about how to guide this child? The final decision is still to go with the flow, that is, to answer his various confusions, let him continue on this path naturally, if there are any signs of danger or insurmountable obstacles, he will come forward to remind or guide and correct.
Of course, Baoyu didn't know Zhu Ming's thoughts, if he really asked Zhu Ming for specific cultivation secrets, Zhu Ming would probably be quite embarrassed. It's not that Zhu Ming doesn't know all kinds of cultivation secret methods, but he doesn't know which path is more suitable for Baoyu. Baoyu, on the other hand, was very grateful to the mountain god, who answered so many questions to him, and he finally understood why he had such feelings and experiences.
Zhu Ming finally told Baoyu: "Child, you have been guided here, and this is our fate. In the future, if you have the opportunity, you can continue to cultivate here. But don't tell anyone what you see here, anything that happens, it's our secret. ”
Baoyu asked rhetorically, "Can't even the patriarch grandfather and the water aunt say it?"
He didn't say it to Baoyu very simply, but brought a feeling of happiness in his mind that made him unconscious, through a while ago, he found that someone wanted to rob Baoyu and saved him, and sometimes the more he knew, it was not good for himself or others.
However, Baoyu knows that the person in front of him will definitely not harm him, so he said so, naturally he has his reason, you don't care so much, he is the guardian saint of the group, and now he is the god of the mountain, what he explained, Baoyu will naturally be cautious and keep it secret from everyone.
The idea that the mountain god has been imprinted into the original god, he can naturally accept and interpret it, and it is precisely when he nods his head that he naturally leaves the fixed state. When Baoyu opened his eyes, he still saw this strange little world, and the five-colored lotus flowers in the pool were not the same as those seen yesterday, and they were all in a budding state. And although he answered, he could no longer "hear" the mountain god speak.
Baoyu and Zhu Ming have been communicating in their minds for so long, and they are talking about natural cultivation perceptions, which are in harmony with Baoyu's physical and mental state, so they have not left the fixed state, but it is natural to finally leave the state at this moment. Baoyu recalled the advice of the mountain god when he first opened his mouth, and only in that state could he communicate with him, so he took his mind into the country and shouted again in his mind: "Mountain god, are you still there?"
Zhu Ming was taken aback again this time. Baoyu's departure from the fixed realm was not surprising to him, but what was surprising was that when Baoyu realized that he was not in that state, he naturally entered the fixed state again, as naturally as if he was breathing normally, which was not something that ordinary monks below the four realms could easily do! Baoyu's skill may still be shallow, but the purity of the realm is something Zhu Ming has never encountered before.
Zhu Ming's thoughts were imprinted into Baoyu's primordial spirit again: "Yes, I'm still here, and I've always been there." Looks like you already know how to communicate with me?"
Baoyu: "Only then can I talk to you?"
Zhu Ming explained: "I am the mountain god here, and I can see and hear your usual words and deeds. But if you want to hear my voice and communicate with me, you can only do it in this place, in a fixed realm, by merging your spiritual energy with the spiritual breath of this place. ...... As for why, you will understand later, but now the cultivation is still shallow. ”
Zhu Ming told Baoyu a lot of things. He told Baoyu that there were bad people who were also looking for this place, and they were all bad ideas, so he must not let anyone notice his whereabouts when he came, so as to track it down. He also made Baoyu promise another thing, if he cultivates to a higher realm in the future, he must protect and guide Xiaotian well.
Of course, these are no problem, Baoyu is very happy and happy to agree. In the end, they agreed that if Baoyu had any questions in his cultivation that he wanted to ask the mountain god to answer, he would find an opportunity to come here quietly. This place is very good for cultivation, and he can also practice here if he has the opportunity, but the frequency of coming and going should not be too frequent, and he should not be too long at a time, otherwise it will arouse suspicion.
Zhu Ming finally said: "Child, it has been two days since you left the village, and it will take at least more than a day on the way back, so you should leave now, otherwise it will attract people's attention." If the clansmen find out that you have followed Xiaotian to the mountains and fields for the night, I am afraid they will not let you come out in the future. ”
Xiaotian slept for a day and a night, and woke up naturally, it yawned and twisted, got up and shook the hair on its body, and then stretched out like a person on its two hind legs, feeling that every pore in the body was so comfortable. Although I slept for so long, I didn't feel confused at all when I just woke up, and I was a good dog in good spirits!
Looking at the five-colored lotus flowers in the pool, they bloom quietly, no different from what I saw yesterday. Baoyu walked down from the white jade altar at this time, patted Xiaotian's head and said, "Have you woken up? It's been a whole day, let's go quickly!"
Xiao Tian twisted his head and looked around, he was also surprised that he had slept for so long, and just now he thought it was just a small nap. The child led the dog away from the ruins left by the Emperor Taihao thousands of years ago, he didn't know what the names of the treasures he saw here, if he accidentally said it, he might cause countless people in the world to go crazy, only that he met the mountain god here, and the mountain god told him not to tell what happened here.
......
When he went back, Baoyu already knew the way, and he didn't need Xiaotian to lead him in front, and a pair of small feet strode forward. This was specially instructed by the mountain god, and he told Baoyu to try to walk faster on the way back, although fast but not in a hurry, and try to maintain the same state as when entering the country while walking, and his heart is stable and like flying.
Zhu Ming didn't explain why, he just asked Baoyu to do this, and walking in such a plateau wilderness is a very dangerous thing, it is not suitable for fast travel, you must have an agile body and keen perception beyond ordinary people, and you must also maintain calm and sober and abundant physical strength, I wonder if this child can do it?
Xiao Tian found that when he went back, Baoyu's speed was obviously faster than when he came, just looking at his posture and not looking at the speed, it seemed to be walking slowly, but every step was so steady and light, Xiao Tian had to keep up with all four hooves on the ground and always keep running.
As he walked, Baoyu himself felt that his steps were becoming more and more light and calm, he was in a sober state, the people walking seemed to be not moving, and the heavens, the earth, the mountains and rivers were like a picture moving with the rhythm of his steps. Normally, people should be more and more tired the more they walk, but Baoyu feels more and more comfortable the more he walks, and there is a circulating force in his body that runs naturally.
In this state, Baoyu felt that he was walking instead of running, but Xiao Tian knew how fast he was, and he was always chasing by his side, although he didn't need to sprint quickly, he had to maintain a constant speed and rhythm.
When Baoyu left the white jade throne, Zhu Ming couldn't clearly perceive the state of his divine energy, but just by looking at his appearance, he could know that Baoyu not only did what he wanted, but also did it better than Zhu Ming expected, and it simply reached an ideal state of perfection.
Zhu Ming couldn't help but secretly admire and even be a little surprised--Is Baoyu in a hurry, or is he traveling through the mountains and rivers in the fixed realm? Looking at his body and steps, is it the method of divine action that can only be performed by monks of the Five Realms? Of course, Baoyu is not a monk of the Five Realms, and he has not learned and cannot master the method of divine action, but no matter what kind of monk of the Five Realms uses his magical powers, the cultivation in the second realm is the foundation.
Baoyu shows such a natural realm, not to mention the Five Realms monks, even if it is Zhu Ming, the world's top master, who can fly into the sky and drive the clouds, but if they walk down-to-earth and do not use other magical means, what they can do is nothing more than that, excluding the gap in age and physical strength, I am afraid it is not as good as Baoyu!
Zhu Ming knew what the reason was, or because of the lotus root stem of the five-colored divine lotus. The powerful divine effect of all the immortal elixirs of the Heavenly Emperor, how could it be that a child could be completely refined by sitting down overnight? But Baoyu's refining and absorbing medicinal properties last night was not taught by anyone, that is, he felt that he should do so, and the divine effect of the lotus root had been integrated into the hundreds of veins of the corpse, and it was still being expressed at this moment.
In the second realm, the skill of refining the form and bones of the hundred veins is not only to operate the divine qi in the fixed sitting, but also to exercise the internal organs and muscles and bones, and pay attention to the integration of movement and static. Zhu Ming asked Baoyu to do this, just to let him bring out the divine effect that the five-colored divine lotus had been refined.
The spiritual effect of the five-colored divine lotus root stem is powerful, for a little monk of the second realm like Baoyu, it is simply the river and the sea to the stream, and only the continuous operation of qi and blood can get the greatest help. And this rugged and steep roadless road on the plateau is a Jedi that a child cannot pass through, but Baoyu just walked over with a dog, this is the best practice of Xinggong.
And although the magic medicine is good, it must also be able to reach the realm of people, which is not forced by any external object. If Zhu Ming knew that Baoyu had reached the state of consummation of the second realm and nine transformations on the way back, he would not be surprised? If Baoyu was already an adult and had not attained the consummation of the nine transformations after cultivating the second realm for many years, and under the guidance of his master, he had taken the five-colored divine lotus root and finally reached the state of consummation according to the secret method. But this is not the case with Baoyu.
Zhu Ming watched Baoyu and Xiaotian walking quickly in the mountains, and sighed in his heart, and at the same time felt very lucky. When he saw babies and puppies being carried back to Lu Village, he wondered if they would survive? Because of the difficult living environment, the mortality rate of adults in all tribes is very high, and the infant mortality rate is even higher.
The situation in Lu Village is already very good, because there is a mountain master guarding and Granny Shui covering, but there is no guarantee that the clansmen will not encounter accidents, and many times the clansmen are harassed by injuries and illnesses, and Granny Shui is powerless to return to the sky. Baoyu didn't feel that he was strange or different from other children since he was a child, and he didn't think he was special when he saw Huahai Village after he became sensible.
Because there are children in the village who are like him, whose parents died unexpectedly at a very young age. For orphans whose parents are absent, they are all raised by the clansmen. Even children with parents grow up with other children most of the time.
Baoyu, the child who was picked up, has grown up healthily so far, which not only shows that he is lucky enough but also shows that the people of Lu Village take good care of him, and Xiaotian, a puppy, has also grown up safely in the wild tribe, and has also opened up his spiritual wisdom. This made Zhu Ming feel extremely lucky - he finally had the opportunity to wait for the day when he guided the heirs.
The heir in Zhu Ming's mind is Xiaotian, but at present, it seems that he can only hope for Baoyu for the time being, and it will take a relatively long time for psychic cultivation.
During this period of time, Baoyu tried his best to rely on luck and mechanism, and finally cultivated his realm to the consummation of the second and ninth turns, and then encountered the same problem as when he promoted cultivation, at this time he did not break through to the third entry, and was still in the second entry. It can't be said that his cultivation is slow, it can only be said that he is not deliberately pursuing progress, but pursuing that delicate feeling even more. Because he wanted to find the source of this power, and once he mastered this power, he could go back early and find the attackers.
