Chapter 29: The Twelve Ways of Practice
"Alright, don't make a fuss! I summoned you this time to popularize the basic knowledge of cultivation for you, and tailor a set of suitable cultivation exercises for you! ”
The young man had enough to laugh before he said what had summoned me here.
"Hey, what's your name? What shall I call you? "I suppressed my inner irritability and asked the questions I wanted to know the most.
"The deity..., my name can't be said, once I say it, it will cause a feeling from above!" The young man said, pointing to the sky.
"What? Are you the Monkey King? You can't say anything about it, cut! I couldn't help but snort in disdain.
"Monkey King? Hmph, that's just a made-up demon in the book, even if there is such a demon, it's just a small god in the nether, how can it be compared with the deity! Alas, forget it, you can call me His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
I listened to the young man's words, and I was even more speechless! This guy's skin is thicker than the city wall, and he actually said that Sun Wukong is a small god, which is a very bullish character in Journey to the West, but in his mouth he was degraded to worthless.
"His Royal Highness the Prince? Let me guess, are you the illegitimate son of the Jade Emperor? Then he used intrigue to snatch the title of the prince, and after being discovered by the queen mother, he was slaughtered again, and your soul was imprisoned in the Nine Hells and whipped every day, and then inadvertently summoned by my grandmother. Hey, you think I'm right? ”
A few black lines appeared on the young man's face, and he forcibly suppressed his anger and tapped his finger on the door of my head, "You abrasive little goblin, your brain hole is too big. When you reach a high level of cultivation, you will know the name of the deity, and the origin of the deity will be revealed! ”
"Oops! Bastard bullied me again, I hate others beating me in the head the most, you have one more crime in the small book, and when this girl cultivates to a high level, she will definitely make you look good! Hmph~"
I rubbed my forehead angrily, pouted and asked, "Hey, I don't care what kind of prince you are, prince." I just want to know what kind of place this is? Why is it gray all around? It can't be the Nine Hells, right? ”
"Alas, I said, you girl shouting at me, will the prince die? I don't know how many women waited in line when I was alive, wanting to see me but couldn't! How can you meet your angry goblin after death? ”
The young man shook his head with a helpless wry smile, and did not answer my question, but continued: "Alas, it is also strange that I was soft-hearted at that time, and agreed to your grandmother's prayer to use your body as a container to make me quickly regain my strength. ”
"Huh? You... You use my body as a vessel to feed your soul? Isn't my body all seen by you? You bastard! ”
It was only at this time that I realized the truth of the matter, how could I marry someone in the future, and did I really want to marry a ghost in the future?
The young man helplessly spread his hands, "You think I want to!" Who made your grandmother prayed to me at that time, and insisted on marrying you to me. If it weren't for the fact that I had exhausted all my cultivation in order to escape from the Great Array of Locking Gods and Exterminating Spirits, would you think I would want to use your small mortal body to regain my strength? ”
"Y-you bastard! Is it reasonable to take advantage of this girl? Woo..., this girl is beautiful and fragrant, why do you have to marry you, a little ghost? ”
I was so angry that my fingers were shaking, and if I couldn't beat this bastard, I would have to trample him under my feet.
"Hmph, vexatious! If I hadn't blinded you and covered up the fact that you are a yin and yang body, your bones would have turned to ashes a long time ago, and there is still a person like you in the world. ”
The young man snorted angrily and then asked me, "Since I possessed you, I know how many disasters you have caused, and when did I not show up to help you out of the siege and let you live safely until now!" Not to mention, Wei Wuji's level alone, if I hadn't absorbed the poison of Soul Eater, you would have turned into a puddle of pus, you wouldn't really think that it was your special physique that dissolved the poison of Soul Eater, right? ”
"Hmph, I don't care! This girl has been seen naked by you, and you are responsible for me! ”
I remembered the dangers I had encountered before, and every time I was able to save the day, I realized that it was this guy who helped me live safely until now, and I couldn't help but snort a few times to alleviate my previous vexatious behavior.
The young man stroked his forehead with his hand, sighed for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the palace gate, "Alas, what a grinding little goblin, come with me!" ”
I took a look at my surroundings, and was still surrounded by a thin gray mist, and the height of ten meters above was also covered by the mist, and I couldn't see anything unusual at all, so I had to follow his footsteps helplessly.
After entering the palace gate, I was greeted by the luxurious and extravagant furnishings in front of me. I saw that the cloud top sandalwood in the palace was the beam, the crystal jade was the lamp, the pearl was the curtain, and the fan gold was the pillar base.
Walking behind the curtain of the pearl curtain, I saw a six-foot-wide agarwood bed in front of me, placed in the corner of the side, and hung a silk treasure tent at the head of the bed, and the tent was embroidered with pearls and silver threads and begonia flowers, and the wind was moving, like falling clouds and mountains and phantom seas.
At one end of the bed, there is a green jade incense pillow, covered with soft silkworm ice, and the jade belt is stacked.
I looked up and found a huge moon pearl hanging on the top of the treasure in the palace, shining brightly, like a bright moon illuminating the whole palace.
Walking on the white jade paved ground, I found that the cracks of the white jade floor tiles were also inlaid with gold beads, which were luxurious and extravagant to the extreme.
Turning to look at the other place, there was a large pond carved out of the ground, and several lotus flowers grew in the pool, the petals were so vivid and delicate that even the stamens were delicate.
"Don't look at it, everything here is created by my mind, according to the illusion born from the dormitory where I lived when I was alive. You can come here as often as you like, but it's only your spirit that comes here, and if you stay here for a long time, your body will wither and die. ”
The ordinary voice of the young man sounded from behind me, as if everything luxurious in front of him was nothing more than the ordinary mud and sand to which he was accustomed.
"Yo he! I can't see it, you bastard has reached the highest level of pen-loading, this girl admires! ”
In the more than ten years that the young man has been with me, he has understood my temperament, and he was not angry by my provocative words, but shook his head helplessly, and then put his hands on the back of his head, and lay down on the most luxurious bed with his eyes closed.
I'm a big kid by nature, and I'm like a tomboy, and my lively and curious attitude makes it easy for me to forget unpleasant things.
Seeing that the young man didn't want to deal with me, I had to take off the phoenix boots on my feet, step barefoot on the warm jade floor, like a jade lotus step by step, came to the edge of the chiseled pool, sat down with my skirt, put my feet into the pool, and sighed comfortably.
"Hey, didn't you say you were going to explain to me about the cultivation? What other practice can surpass the Five Elements Mind Method that I am currently practicing? ”
The young man got up and came to me, took off his boots and sat down beside me, and then, following my example, put his feet in the pool.
"Alas! In order to make you grow up quickly, it takes a lot of my energy! Now, let me explain to you the precautions in the practice, you have to listen carefully, understand? ”
I obediently nodded my little head, which can speed up the progress of my cultivation, and I will take everything that is beneficial to me, I will take it seriously.
"If you want to practice, you must first understand what you are! Cultivation has been a long history, and after countless immeasurable eons explored by the ancestors and sages, and finally summarized the twelve cultivation methods. ”
After a pause, the young man looked at me with interest like a good baby, listening to him carefully, couldn't help but smile, and then said: "These twelve cultivation methods include everything in the world, the first is to learn the Tao and practice, to prove the true self, to go to the false and the true "cultivation" method! The second is the "cultivation of immortals" method of alchemy and taking medicine to calm the nerves and nourish the nature in order to achieve immortality! ”
"The third method is based on the three Qing Dao of the Daomen, and Mobai, a god who has experienced immeasurable eons, is the goal of the world, and is collectively called the "Cultivation Dao" method by the world! The fourth and fifth are the Confucian method of cultivating the mind, cultivating the mind, and the method of calming the mind and nourishing the body. ”
The sixth type of cultivation is the "demon cultivation" method of seeking immortality and immortality, eternal life between heaven and earth, and self-enlightenment! The seventh cultivation method is more targeted, it is practiced by the spiritual plants between heaven and earth, this kind of spiritual herb elixir has been nourished by the aura of heaven and earth for countless years, and the "spiritual cultivation" method of realizing the heavenly machine of life and death! ”
"The eighth way of cultivation is created by demon cultivation, and the demon is conceived by the aura of all things in heaven and earth, and the path of demon cultivation is continuous evolution, collectively known as the "demon cultivation" method! The ninth is the method I practice, the "Netherworld" method that is feared by the world! ”
"The tenth practice method is created by Buddhism, collecting the world's incense as nutrients, and cultivating one's own body alone! The eleventh method is the method of "cultivating saints" created by great virtuous and great sages, which can become sages! The last kind of witchcraft is a "witch cultivation" method that can become similar to that of witch immortals! ”
Speaking of this, the young man turned his head to look at me, who was listening carefully, and asked, "Qing Nan, can you choose which method you want to practice now?" ”
"Twelve cultivation methods, there are so many, how can people choose? Let me think about it! ”
I tilted my head, and many thoughts were flipped in my mind, the first way to eliminate the spiritual cultivation method, and it was not possible to cultivate demons, that was something that only Sun Monkey learned, and it was not possible to cultivate Buddhism, and it was too much to shave my head to be a nun, exclude.
As for the others, many of them don't suit me either. I am not suitable for the two methods of cultivating the mind and cultivating the mind, nor am I suitable for cultivating the holy method. The Netherworld Dao method shouldn't work, after all, I'm still alive and well, and there is no need to give up the human body to cultivate the ghost method.
I would like to practice the Dao method, but the Sanqing Dao Venerable doesn't know me, and I haven't inherited his old man's Taoism, so I can't practice without his recognition.
In the end, the method of elimination came to the conclusion that I could cultivate the truth, cultivate the immortals, cultivate the demons, and cultivate the witches.
"Oops! It's not easy to choose one of the four! Hey, which practice do you think I'm going to focus on? Can you cultivate at the same time? ”
