Volume 9 The Immortals Under the Forest Chapter 108 Apprenticeship, Cultivation and Recuperation
In the first battle between Lu Yuanjun and Taoist Lin Jiu, Lin Jiu only used three moves to defeat Lu Yuanjun. On the one hand, this was due to Lu Yuanjun's light enemy, and he habitually thought that Lin Jiu was just a mere mortal, so he did not use all his strength. On the other hand, it was Lin Jiu who was really strong, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was even on par with Bai Lei.
And the three moves of the Taoist priest Lin Jiu were by no means arbitrary, although they were lightning fast and quick to decide, they could get a glimpse of the intention of each of them. The first move's Five Thunder Absolute is an attack that actually uses spiritual power, which is to test the strength of Lu Yuanjun's spiritual power; The second trick is to use physical skills, using skills and strength to test Lu Yuanjun's reaction and physical fitness; And the third move is one of Lin Jiu's ultimate killer moves, which is also the most powerful spell of the Taoist Sect - Mount Tai Pressing the Top.
Lu Yuanjun couldn't figure out what the meaning of the third move was in, but he knew one thing, that is, there was a sky outside the sky, and there were people outside the world.
It can be seen that what Lin Jiu did was not a whim, but was decided after thinking. Perhaps, before Lu Yuanjun and his entourage came, he had already thought about these things and made adequate preparations. If Lu Yuanjun really didn't pass these three moves, Lin Jiu was afraid that he would really expel them down the mountain, then Bai Lei would find them again, and Shan Xiaoxiao would not be able to recuperate safely. Thinking of this, Lu Yuanjun couldn't help but gasp, and he was even secretly glad that his strength had increased due to the cultivation of the Yin God before. Otherwise, it is unknown what would have happened now.
So, Lu Yuanjun knelt on the ground and honestly kowtowed three times at Lin Jiu, which was also his original intention. Lin Jiuyi promised a daughter, took in Lu Yuanjun and his party, and accepted Lu Yuanjun as an apprentice.
Due to the limited space in the thatched house, Lu Yuanjun and Lin Jiu lived in the main room, while Shan Xiaoxiao and the cheongsam girl slept in the side room. As for the monk Sakurako, who lived back in the car. According to Zhu Lishang, their mission has been accomplished, but the organization has not yet recalled them, so they can also avoid the limelight here for a while, lest they be found by Bai Lei again.
Lu Yuanjun was also more curious about their organization, but it was a pity that the two of them always avoided talking about it, and they were always silent on weekdays, as if they wouldn't talk if there was nothing to do.
Two months passed like this, during which life was as calm as water, there were no ghosts and monsters, and there was no white thunder to intrude, and occasionally some people who encountered dirty things would go up the mountain to find Lin Jiu for help, they were either rich people with big bellies, or ordinary people who were penniless, but they were all haggard and panicked. And that Lin Jiu was the same as other Taoist priests, but he just drew two talismans, recited a few mantras, and sent them loosely.
In Lin Jiu's words, nine times out of ten, those people just did something against their conscience, and coming here is actually just to have peace of mind, not many people really believe in him, and a very small part is a small prank of the remnant spirit, which can be easily solved with a single talisman. If there is really an evil spirit demon, there will naturally be other spirit sealers to solve it, and there is no need for him to take action. If I had to name one or two, it would be that the human heart may be more terrible than that demon. Lu Yuanjun deeply agrees with this point based on his own experience.
In the past three months, Lu Yuanjun's cultivation has always made him misty, Lin Jiu did not teach him any skills and tricks to improve his spiritual power, but exercised his body day after day. Early every morning, before the night went and the rooster crowed, Lu Yuanjun had to put on an iron sand heavy coat and go down the mountain to buy vegetables, the iron mountain heavy coat weighed a hundred pounds, and Lu Yuanjun was not allowed to use any spiritual power, so he could only rely on this body up and down.
Immediately afterwards, after resting for half an hour, Lu Yuanjun was going to take a horse in front of the hospital, which was two hours, and the sun slowly shifted until the top of Lu Yuanjun's head, scorching him fiercely, and Lu Yuanjun could feel dizziness and pain again. Whenever he couldn't bear it, time always ended just right, and after lunch, it was the most terrifying nightmare of the day for Lu Yuanjun.
This is the time of hand-to-hand combat, during this period, Lu Yuanjun is not allowed to use any spiritual power, if he is found to have used a little, he will be immediately expelled from the mountain. For the sake of fairness, Lin Jiu would also go into battle with his bare hands, but every time, it ended with Lu Yuanjun being beaten up. Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuanjun, who had a blue nose and swollen face, was about to start training his physical fitness, and it was not until the sun set in the afternoon that the one-day devil training was over.
Although the practice of these days is tiring, but Lu Yuanjun is extremely relieved, every day after the practice, after the work, Lu Yuanjun will always go to see Shan Xiaoxiao, he sat next to Shan Xiaoxiao, quietly looking at her, looking at Shan Xiaoxiao's gradually recovering complexion, Lu Yuanjun felt extremely relieved in his heart. At night, Lu Yuanjun will also sleep very soundly.
How many days have not been so peaceful, Lu Yuanjun has an indescribable feeling in his heart.
On this day, before dawn, Lu Yuanjun woke up suddenly, he opened his eyes, Lin Jiu had already put on his yellow Taoist robe and was standing in front of him.
"Nine..... Master? ”
Lin Jiu waved his hand, "Just call me Uncle Jiu." ”
Lu Yuanjun hurriedly sat up, "Did I get up late today?" ”
Lin Jiu gently put a hand on Lu Yuanjun's shoulder, and his attitude was a little different from the past, relaxed and cordial.
"The time hasn't come yet, don't practice those today, go." Lin Jiu said, turned around and walked towards the outside of the house, Lu Yuanjun saw this, so he had no choice but to get up, quickly put on his clothes, wiped his face twice with the water in the basin, and followed.
At this time, the night was thick, the outside of the house was full of fog, and the trees in the distance were gloomy, and the wind blew, making strange howling sounds. Lu Yuanjun was sleepy-eyed, he looked at the night sky outside the house, and saw that the Zhuli in the van not far away was still sleeping, but Shangkong Sakura was gone.
"What time is it..... Uncle Jiu ....." Lu Yuanjun's tone carried a hint of complaint.
"Four o'clock." Lin Jiu stretched out his hand, he actually carried an electronic watch in his wide sleeve, and then he handed Lu Yuanjun a cup of tea.
"That little girl is really powerful, and when she hides it, even I can't find any trace of her." Lin Jiu lowered his head and gently took a sip of the hot tea in his hand as he spoke, "But you tell them, I'm very safe, there's no need to sleep alone every day, there's no need." ”
Lu Yuanjun nodded, and also lowered his head and took a sip of tea, but he was grinned by the hot teeth of the tea, Lu Yuanjun almost spit it out, but he still swallowed it little by little.
"Uncle Nine, didn't you call me up so early to talk about this?"
Lin Jiu nodded, "You come with me." ”
After that, Lin Jiu walked towards the woods in the distance, Lu Yuanjun felt a little strange in his heart, could it be that what kind of divine thaumaturgy he was going to teach today? It was useless to think too much, so Lu Yuanjun simply followed. The two of them did not turn a corner, but walked straight forward until they stopped in a sparsely vegetated clearing.
"Sit." Lin Jiu sat cross-legged on the ground and said to Lu Yuanjun.
Lu Yuanjun also sat cross-legged on the ground, learning from Lin Jiu and closing his eyes.
"I have taken in three disciples, all of whom are mortals. also rejected a disciple, he was too virtuous. By this chance, you should be ranked fifth. ”
Lin Jiu's voice slowly came into Lu Yuanjun's ears, although his eyes were closed, he actually felt a little dizzy, Lu Yuanjun didn't notice that under him and Lin Jiu, there was a looming Tai Chi shape that was slowly rotating.
"The Tao walks yin and yang, and destroys each other. Negative yin and embrace yang, reach the yin hall ....."
Lu Yuanjun opened his eyes suddenly, only to find that he was no longer among the trees before. In front of him, it was a building engulfed in flames!
"This is ....." Lu Yuanjun remembered here, he knew.....
"Your Yin God Palace." Lin Jiu opened his eyes, said slowly, and handed Lu Yuanjun a cup of hot tea.
Lu Yuanjun did not drink the tea, but looked around and Lin Jiu incredulously.
"Your spiritual power, in fact, is above me, all I can do is to make your body that stores spiritual power stronger." Lin Jiu took a sip of tea unhurriedly and continued, "I'm here with you, but I just want to avoid the underworld and ask you. ”
"What?" Lu Yuanjun was a little nervous.
"You are the spirit of the underworld, if it is really time to choose, will you choose those friends of yours, or will you choose the underworld to which you are allegiated?"
Lu Yuanjun was speechless for a while, he lowered his head and was silent, and only raised his head after a long time, he thought about his words and was ready to tell the story.
"I believe that there is a right way in this world, because ....."
"What if not?" Lin Jiu interrupted him, "Right and wrong, how can you be sure?" ”
"I'm ....." Lu Yuanjun's hand trembled a little, "My friend..... Is it? ”
"Zhulishang monk Sakurako, although I don't know about them, they did give their lives to help me. And Shan Xiaoxiao, it is even more ....." Lu Yuanjun didn't finish speaking, and fell into contemplation again.
"Did you know that Hades has a huge secret?" Lin Jiu narrowed his eyes and asked.
Lu Yuanjun was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Do you know what it is?" Lin Jiu asked.
Lu Yuanjun shook his head, he really didn't know, he also wanted to know.
Lin Jiu didn't make a sound for a long time, he opened his palm, and a mysterious character appeared, and the character flashed with a faint golden light at first glance, Lin Jiu closed his hand and grabbed the golden light, raised his head and looked at Lu Yuanjun: "Boy, your strength is very dangerous, it is different from other spirit sealers, do you know?" ”
"I know." Lu Yuanjun looked at Lin Jiu fixedly.
"And what are you going to do with this power of yours?"
"I don't know..... Lu Yuanjun's originally firm eyes suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, but within a few seconds, he raised his head again, "Uncle Jiu, I never thought of being a spirit sealer, and I didn't choose to get to this point today." But now, I have something that I think is worth protecting, and I want to make my own choices from now on. ”
"I want to dig up this secret, for better or for worse. If it's something bad, I'll destroy it with my own hands! ”
"I've never forgotten that I was human."
Lin Jiu let out a long sigh, "Good boy, but you remember, I won't kill you today, if you do something harmful to mankind one day, I will definitely kill you with my own hands." ”
Lu Yuanjun couldn't figure out whether it was relief or disappointment, Lin Jiu suddenly stood up, Lu Yuanjun was in a trance, and found that he was back in the woods before.
"Let's go. Shave your beard well, the girl is awake. ”
