Chapter 16: The Path of Spiritual Cultivation

It's time to get off work again, so I would like to present a special update to book friends who are reading books on the way home! In addition, to celebrate that the book is about to be signed, the actor is promoted and transferred, and the author also received a notice of signing, which is such a coincidence! )

After trading with Hua Ruolan, Bai Lidu came to the gate of the Devotional Order again, and changed back to the waist card of the Devotional Order before entering, after entering, he saw that Elder Wang was still standing there, and there were a few obvious newcomers around him to receive clothes and weapons, Bai Lidu walked closer and said to Elder Wang.

"The outer disciple sees Elder Wang, and the disciple asks to be promoted to the inner disciple."

"Very good, you have grown up very quickly, to become an inner disciple, you must pass the arduous professional trial test, and you must also choose your cultivation path, there are two paths in front of you now" As Elder Wang's words ended, two options appeared in the screen:

[Promotion Quest 1: The Road of Buddhist Cultivation]: The path of Buddhist cultivation, you will choose and open the path of Buddhist cultivation, in the future, you can specialize in being a stick monk, a Zen master or a Buddhist master, you must go to the west of the village and retrieve 1 stolen Buddhist scripture from a group of bandits;

[Promotion Quest 2: Dao Cultivation Path]: Dao Cultivation Path, you will choose and open the Dao Cultivation Path, in the future, you can specialize in the Sword Pill Dao, the Spell Dao or the Fu Gong Dao, you must go to the west of the village and retrieve the stolen pill 1 bottle from a group of bandits.

Bai Lidu just wanted to make a choice, but based on his experience in doing the hidden mission last night, he asked:

"Elder Wang, is there any other choice? I think there should not be only two paths of cultivation, Buddhism is generous and benevolent, as long as the heart is to the Buddha, the wicked can also put down the butcher's knife, and wine and meat can also pass through the intestines; Taoism is all-encompassing, as long as there is a Tao in the heart, there is a Tao between heaven and earth, and all things and all laws are also Tao! ”

Bai Lidu's understanding of Buddhism is also based on some martial arts and Xiuzhen novels, and by the way, he said some of his own feelings, just after Bai Lidu finished speaking, Bai Lidu only felt that there was a moment when the surroundings seemed to suddenly become quiet, although the selection picture in front of him was still there, but Elder Wang spoke after a while, but there was a system prompt before speaking:

- System Prompt: Due to your insights into Buddhism and Taoism, your friendship with Elder Wang increases by 10, and your relationship is upgraded from strangeness to enthusiasm

"What you just said is very good, whether it is a Buddha or a Tao, it is for people with a heart to cultivate, in fact, it is not that there is no third way, but this road is far more difficult than the first two, are you sure you want to choose?"

"Of course, I'm sure!" Bai Lidu just tried to ask, but he didn't expect something to happen, so he was very surprised in his heart, but he was also looking forward to the follow-up content.

- System Prompt: You have triggered the hidden promotion quest - Heart Cultivation Path

[Hidden Promotion Mission: Heart Cultivation Path]: You will choose and open the Heart Cultivation Path, you must go to the west of the village and retrieve a stolen Heart Sutra from the hands of the bandit leader Lu Laohu.

The two options in the previous screen have now become the current one.

At this moment, Elder Wang's name has been shown as Elder Wang Qingyue, after Bai Lidu said goodbye to him, he left the religious order, walked towards the west gate of the village, out of the west gate, in front of him is an official road, on both sides of the official road are orchards and pastures, the transfer task only prompts that it is in the west of the village, and does not indicate where it is in the west, but since it is mentioned that it is a bandit, then at least it is close to the mountain, remember that the blacksmith Zhao Da Hammer once said that there is a Tiger Mountain mine in the west, Bai Lidu thought while walking forward.

After walking a distance, the official road began to become rugged, and gradually entered the mountainous area, Bai Lidu slowed down, carefully watched the surroundings, and walked forward for a distance, and saw that there were players fighting on the hillside next to the road, and the opponent was not a beast monster, but a bandit with a red name, Bai Lidu walked towards the location of the hillside, and deliberately bypassed other players, his task did not need to kill these ordinary bandits, but needed to find the lair of the bandits, and kill the leader of the bandits.

Sure enough, there is a cottage in the col not far below the hillside, there is a piece of wood on the gate of the cottage, which says "Tiger Village", I saw that there are four thieves guarding the door of the cottage, and there are several waves of thieves wandering around in the cottage, Bai Lidu feels that if he enters from the main gate, he will definitely not see the leader of the cottage to be killed, fortunately, this cottage is built between the cols, Bai Lidu will go around the side of the cottage on the hillside to the cottage, and when he goes around to the back of the cottage, Bai Lidu was already standing on top of a small hill, and at his feet was a steep cliff, and below the cliff was at the back of the cottage, where a two-story attic was being built, and it was evident that the leader of the cottage was sitting in it.

It seems that the best shortcut is to go straight to the bottom from the cliff at your feet, find a way to lure out the bandit leader and kill it in a small area, however, how to get to the bottom from this cliff is a problem at the moment, if you jump directly from the top, you will definitely be killed if you fall below, it is best to climb down slowly, but such a steep cliff, it is obviously impossible to climb down slowly, you can only fall, Bai Lidu once again thought of his Spider-Man title, which mentioned that the climbing ability has been improved, and it will not fall sharply, so slowly move to the edge of the side of the cliff, find a stone that can touch the cliff face, control the game character to jump on the stone, and then open the left palm to the cliff for 2 seconds, the character in the picture automatically puts the weapon behind his back, and the game character has climbed to the cliff:

- System Prompt: You are in a climbing state, your Spider-Man title improves your climbing ability, you will be exempted from falling sharply when climbing, and your speed will be increased by 20% when climbing upwards, and your downward speed will be slowed by 20% when climbing downwards.

Seeing this prompt, Bai Lidu was relieved, and he could climb up and down in the front and back directions in the climbing state, so he soon came to the bottom of the cliff safely, and in front of him was the fence wall of the cottage, and on the other side of the fence was the wooden two-story attic, as the tallest building in the cottage, the probability of the leader of the cottage in it was quite large.

Bai Lidu carefully drilled through the fence wall, and the attic was not far in front, but there were two bandits with weapons guarding the doorway below the attic, and Bai Lidu checked the information of the bandits:

[Elite Bandit] (Elite, Human): Level 5, HP 150, Attack Method: Slash

The two bandits are elite level, if they face it at the same time, they will definitely not be able to beat, and the current value of the damage bonus is only 3% of the melee damage bonus, but the spell damage bonus is indeed 15%, indicating that the target's magic resistance is weak, after changing back to Li's waist card, his health value is only 83 points, and the 5 attribute points that he has been promoted to level 5 have not been added, after thinking about it, Bai Lidu added all these 5 attribute points to the physique, and the health value increased to 98 points, The protection value has been increased to 21.3 points, and the output damage of the main hand has also been increased to 10.6-12.6, if you can hit a lucky blow, you can deduct about 16 points of blood from the opponent, plus there are 18 shrine tributes on the body, and you should be able to fight if you advance steadily.

For the active skill Light of Faith that I just learned, because there is no weapon equipped to increase the damage of the spell, the spell damage on the panel is only 4 points, but the skill of the Light of Faith has an additional 5-7 points of additional damage, in this way, a light of faith can also hit 9-11 points of spell damage, plus a 15% bonus, it seems that the damage is higher than the off-hand's peachwood sword, so simply use the main hand Wind Breaking Knife, and the off-hand's peachwood sword is simply taken down.

Looking at the distance between the two elite bandits at the door, it should not be linked, Bai Lidu carefully walked against the fence, came to the other side of the attic, and tried to keep himself away from the attic and the bandits at the far end, he didn't want to lure down the leader of the bandits in the attic when he killed the elite bandits downstairs, and then it would be miserable, and he would definitely not be able to escape.

Bai Lidu locked the elite monster close to his side, and stretched his thumb and index finger at the same time after clenching his left hand into a fist, and the game screen suddenly entered a close-up of slow effect, only to see the game character standing upright, holding the knife in his right hand behind his back, and at the same time holding the left hand and forming a ball of light in the palm of his hand, the left palm held this light and slowly lifted, and then pushed forward hard, and the picture switched back to normal mode, only to see a light bullet shoot out:

-10 (white, normal damage)

The close-up animation of the skill is good.,The damage doesn't seem to be low.,The elite bandit who was beaten was obviously enraged.,It turned around and found a sneak attacker in the distance.,And it swooped straight over.,And the other elite bandit didn't know anything and was still walking back and forth.,Bai Lidu stood in place and didn't move.,Immediately come another light of faith.,This time there is no slow-acting close-up animation.,And then he made up for himself in a state of sudden appearance.,And knocked out the elite thief 11 points of life.,1 second of cooldown time and instantaneous are actually no different., After all, the two actions of stretching out the fingers and pressing the keyboard are not the same, the so-called perverted hand speed of the early keyboard game, in fact, can squeeze the space of instantaneous skills to the limit, but after wearing the manipulation gloves, this extreme hand speed often only exists at the theoretical level, and it really comes to the practical level, from the reaction of the human brain to the movement of the limbs, there must be an insurmountable time interval between spells and spells, and this time interval can be understood as the shortest casting interval, This means that no matter how fast you cast a spell on the board, it may not take less than this minimum cast interval, and you don't know how the game is set up.
