Chapter 4: Two Souls and Six Spirits
It is difficult for cultivators to enter the Tao, and it is even more difficult to attain the Tao. Although everyone can refine qi and cultivate immortals, among thousands of people, only one or two people can refine qi and transform gods, and among ten thousand people, only two or three people can fly into the sky.
"I want to cultivate, I want to, worship, worship you as ......" When Mo Jingchen fell in front of everyone, Zhang Mingxin suddenly took two steps forward and said, but in a word, he forgot why he wanted to worship.
The woman in white frowned, sighed and looked at Zhang Mingxin, and reminded, "Worship as a teacher, master." ”
"Yes, I worship you as Master!" Zhang Ming glanced at the woman in white gratefully, and stared at Mo Jingchen expectantly.
Everyone is not surprised, they are all people who have been in the world for many years, and this kind of apprenticeship seems to have seen a lot. Only the old monk shook his head and exhaled: "Amitabha." And glanced at Mo Jingchen.
Mo Jingchen recalled, approached Zhang Mingxin, touched Zhang Mingxin's round head and said: "This introductory cultivation is not a casual apprenticeship, in addition to returning to the sect to worship the head of the sect and being registered as a disciple, it is also necessary to look at the talent and wisdom of the seeker, the qualifications and geometrics, and decide whether to ...... Suitable for monasticism. ”
Halfway through speaking, Mo Jingchen was suddenly surprised, and turned his head to look at Mingjue for a long time.
After pondering for a while, Mo Jingchen turned his head to Zhang Mingxin and smiled: "What about you, your qualifications are good, but you are not suitable for our Seven Xuanzong, if you have other opportunities in the future, you can worship other sects as disciples." ”
Zhang Mingxin looked frustrated, lowered his head and played with the corners of his clothes. Seeing this, the woman in white turned cold and said, "If you refuse to accept the disciples, then let's leave and go home, otherwise we won't be able to leave the mountain at night." Seeing Mo Jingchen's hand leaving his hand, the woman in white took Zhang Mingxin's hand again.
Although Zhang Mingxin was reluctant, he wanted to ask again, but finally nodded and prepared to leave with the woman in white. The middle of the day has passed, and if you don't leave at this time, you really have to go back to the wooden house at night, there is no animal meat in the wooden house, and you have to pick some wild fruits on the way, and check the trap set before to catch small beasts.
"The girl is slow, I just heard the demon of the song say, the girl is a member of the Nine Heavens Gate, she has been in Kyushu for decades, and there are many old friends in the Daomen, but she has never heard of the name of this sect, I wonder if the girl can tell the teacher the situation and the girl's name?" Mo Jingchen stopped the woman in white with a word, her eyes narrowed, and she asked slowly.
"Haven't you heard of me? In this world, there are hundreds of Taoist doors, and there are countless hidden cultivators, do you know them all? There are several people in my door, are they lonely souls and wild ghosts with no door and no faction? And the Gate of the Nine Heavens is the name of the confused gate, I am the door of the Nuwa Palace, as for the name and surname, I don't need to tell you! The woman in white listened to Mo Jingchen's suspicion, and choked Mo Jingchen a few words.
Mo Jingchen listened, and he was not annoyed, but just looked at the woman in white, Zhang Mingxin.
Another middle-aged Taoist said in confusion: "Nuwa Palace, I have never heard of this school, and the world is cultivating the Tao, and it is not respecting the three Qings, it is the Buddha's door." Nuwa, Nuwa...... Could it be the ...... of the South?"
The woman in white stared coldly at the Dao person, and the Dao man also stopped abruptly, although Nuwa was respected by ordinary cultivators, she was also a righteous immortal. Among fellow believers, it is not in line with etiquette to talk about other people's sects.
"Little brother, you seem to be a person from this neighborhood, these places are mountains, I don't know where you live?" Mo Jingchen diverted his words and asked Zhang Mingxin.
"I'm a villager from Huming Village behind the mountain, it's far away from here, only our Huming Village, and Uncle Fox in the village goes out of the mountain to sell mountain goods, and it takes four or five days to go back and forth."
"Oh. Uncle Fox, surnamed Fox. Mo Jingchen thought for a moment, "Then are you familiar with this weeping blood abyss?" Let's come here to find some things, these four places are covered by clouds and mist, I can't wait for the landform here, the little brother can take us, familiar with this place, to see if we can find that kind of thing? ”
As he spoke, Mo Jingchen lightly put his hand on Zhang Mingxin's shoulder. A force pierced from Zhang Mingxin's shoulder to the other hand, and attacked the jade palm that was holding Zhang Mingxin's hand.
Feeling the strength coming, the woman in white was furious, as if she was afraid of hurting Zhang Mingxin, so she quickly let go and retreated, and did not fight back.
Seeing that Zhang Mingxin was not inappropriate, the woman in white had a flush on her face, the white light of her palm flipped, and she was extremely angry in her heart. After a period of gloom and uncertainty, the woman in white looked at her palm, and finally made up her mind to disperse the white light.
"Since a few of you want to take this mortal child to see the world of Daomen Treasure Hunting, then I won't be in your way. I just hope that you will take the treasure and send this dumb child home. The woman in white snorted coldly, and her tone was extremely hard.
Facing Zhang Mingxin, the woman smiled and said, "Sister will go home by herself first, and next time we meet, I will taste your roasted meat again, it must be beautiful." He turned and walked into the woods.
"Hey, that sister, why don't you leave at once, you came to cry for the blood abyss because of the treasure, since you are a fellow believer, why don't you do it?" Seeing that the woman in white was angry and left, the woman in white spoke out and persuaded her, but the woman in white did not look back, nor did she talk, and left directly.
Mo Jingchen shook his head at the woman beside him, watching the woman in white walk away, and the hand on Zhang Mingxin's shoulder had been released.
Zhang Mingxin didn't know why the woman in white suddenly let go, and left by herself after two sentences, at a loss for a while. When he came back to his senses, he remembered what Mo Jingchen asked, gritted his teeth, and replied: "What yuan you are talking about is this strange lake, it is good, I can take you away, and I can tell you what I know." It's just, just I have a request! ”
Mo was shocked, do you want to apprentice again, and was about to refuse, so that the imperial weapon could quickly send Zhang Mingxin home.
"I ...... I think...... You have brought me to heaven...... Fly! Zhang Mingxin held the firewood knife on his waist tightly, said a little, and bit his lip.
Mo Jingchen was amused, it is better not to agree, and someone will fly to send you home. "Okay, okay, I'm tired little brother, if I want to explore this weeping blood abyss, I need to take you to the sky for a spin."
In the forest outside the lake, the woman in white leaned against the trunk of a tree, brushed away the leaves and grew grass, and looked at several people by the lake. In the end, her eyes fell on Zhang Mingxin, and the woman in white stomped her feet twice, biting her lower lip with her teeth, leaving tooth marks on her red lips.
The woman seemed to be extremely unwilling in her heart.
The autumn wind swept through the forest, and after a lonely commotion, the figure in white clothes disappeared, and the grass in the forest chirped, and a small white practice passed through the grass and disappeared into the forest.
The sun was slanting in the west, and the night was approaching, and Zhang Mingxin and the others circled around the strange lake for most of the time. Zhang Mingxin excitedly explained the strange lake, Huqi Mountain, and the nameless hills around the lake.
Regarding the strange lake, Zhang Mingxin has only been secretly here a few times in the past two years, but when the strange lake was a big pit, Zhang Mingxin also came. Although he didn't say much, Mo Jingchen and the others also nodded in response, after all, how much can a child know?
Zhang Mingxin and the middle-aged Taoist, a woman in green clothes walked in front, and Mo Jingchen and the old monk Mingjue were behind, chatting softly.
"Two years ago, the weeping blood abyss rained into a lake, and I thought that the ghost fairy feathered and left behind the treasure, and some of them became true. Old monk, how much do you know about the ghosts and immortals? ”
"Amitabha, the saying of ghosts and immortals, has been for thousands of years, and I don't know where it came from. If you say a thousand years, I am afraid that it is less, it is said that for thousands of years, this person is the only true immortal. If you think of cultivators like us, if you don't cultivate the method of force fighting, and use the true qi of your whole body to sustain your life and keep your body, you won't live for a thousand years. ”
"Also, if this ghost immortal is really there, how can it be feathered after a thousand years of cultivation. Anyway, the four of us are determined to travel, subduing demons and demons, whether this relic treasure is true or false, it doesn't matter. ”
"Mo Daoyou, speaking of which, you just probed God with your anger, that little benefactor, it is very strange, you say, I am waiting for this trip, how can there be a lot of strange things?" The old monk Mingjue suddenly looked at Zhang Mingxin, who was a few zhang away in front of him, and changed the topic.
Mo Jingchen also looked at Zhang Mingxin: "Two souls and six spirits, but they are mortal bodies." Physically fit and mentally deficient. This kid doesn't seem ordinary. The woman in white who was protecting him was beautiful, fragrant and gentle, and it was even more strange that she could resist the Demon Protector of the Futu Gate. ”
"Lack of soul and soul, it's a pity that this strong body, otherwise, as a disciple of your Xuanzong, although you may not have great achievements, you may be able to achieve a small success." Mingjue sighed.
"My Xuanzong disciple, the background must be clear, the people of the mountains and wilderness do not count, this child lives next to this Huqi Mountain and weeping blood, and I don't know if it has anything to do with that Huqi Mountain!"
"This little benefactor is okay, after all, I have talked about it twice, and mortals are the same as flesh and blood. It's just the white-clothed female benefactor...... I don't care if he doesn't just hide from your temptation to protect the little benefactor, I'm afraid, I don't want to fight with you, I'm afraid of revealing something. The Gate of the Nine Heavens, the Nuwa Palace, between the unclear and unclear, must be hidden a lot. ”
Mo Jingchen chatted with Mingjue, and suddenly he was surprised, his figure flashed, and he flashed forward.
Zhang Mingxin was tired, walked to the lake, and was holding the lake water with both hands and drinking, with a refreshing face.
"Is this water drinkable?" Mo Jingchen stood behind Zhang Mingxin, and Zhang Ming's heart was so frightened that he sprinkled his heart.
"Of course the water can be drunk, and we have also gone into the water to catch fish, but unfortunately there is nothing in the water, and there is not a single shrimp in the water. I don't know if the fish and shrimp in this lake are sinking to the bottom of the lake, but unfortunately the lake is too deep, and the uncle with the best water in our village can't dive to the end. ”
Mo Jingchen slowly squatted down, turned into a bowl with one hand, scooped up the lake water, and looked carefully, the water left the lake, it seemed to be transparent, and there were no impurities. Sniffed it again, and finally, Mo Jingchen also drank the lake water, which was cool and cool, and there was nothing unusual. If there is one, it is that there is no earthy fishy smell of the usual lakes and rivers.
Mo Jingchen's eyes lit up, he stroked Zhang Mingxin's round head with his other dry hand, turned around and nodded and chuckled at the three of them.
"I was afraid that the water of this black lake would be different, but now it seems that we are going to go down to the lake to explore." Mo Jingchen's tone could not hide his joy, stood up, and looked at the gray mist in the middle of the lake, "Let's find a place and take care of it." ”
Night, it will come eventually. Zhang Mingxin led everyone out of the lake, found a sheltered woodland, and spent the night here.
The middle-aged Taoist caught a few small beasts with a stick of incense, and several people worked together to make a fire and roast them. Spending the night in the forest, several people have experienced, and there is no objection to this.
"Fox Ming, Fox Ming, the name of this village is also strange, the people in the village are surnamed Fox, almost located in the Fox Mountain. I just heard Zhang Mingxin's words, he has respect for Huqi Mountain, and the fox demon is also called the fox fairy...... If it's a demon village......"
Zhang Mingxin carefully roasted a few small beasts, and the other four walked not far away, looking at the weeping blood abyss more than two miles away through the cracks in the trees, and whispered a few words from time to time. The middle-aged Taoist Yunsong, the name of the woman in Tsing Yi was Yu Xiu, and she glanced at Zhang Mingxin's actions from time to time.
"Mo Duowei, when this matter is over, we will send this son back and explore this village again." Mo Jingchen also had doubts in his heart, but the past was tight, and he didn't say that he would send Zhang Mingxin back to Huming Village, and then spend the night to explore the village.
Yun Song Daoren's eyes suddenly froze, and he made a move with his hand, and then pointed at Zhang Mingxin.
At this time, Zhang Mingxin was trying to turn the little beast that was "squeaking" and bubbling on the fire, exuding a seductive reminder, and took something out of his waist from time to time and sprinkled it on the meat.
The four people in the distance looked at Zhang Mingxin in unison, and when they saw this scene, their brows furrowed. At this time, everyone thought about it, but they didn't say a word, and their faces were complicated.
Soon, the aroma of barbecue spreads in the forest with the wind, but it is much heavier than ordinary barbecue, and there is a strange sweetness in the faint taste, which is intoxicating.
"The meat is ready, uncle, sister." As Zhang Mingxin shouted at Mo Jingchen and several people, everyone's faces became more complicated, and after looking at each other, they walked towards Zhang Mingxin.
Everyone sat down around, Zhang Mingxin diligently handed everyone barbecue, and everyone took it, but they didn't eat.
Mo Jingchen smiled on his face, carried the barbecue, and sniffed the aroma a few times, the strange sweetness in the meat was even better, but the meat of all beasts had a fishy smell, and this meat was not the meat of a strange beast, there was no fishy smell at all, and in the sweet breath, the umami smelled and came to the nose, which made people can't help it, and they took a bite of it.
"This meat is so fragrant, but what secret condiments are there?" Mo Jingchen resisted the urge to bite the meat, smiled and turned his eyes cold, staring at Zhang Mingxin. But after seeing Zhang Mingxin distribute the barbecue to everyone, he picked up the meat and ate the meat by himself. The meat that Zhang Mingxin eats is also seen by everyone, and some are sprinkled with ingredients. Mo Jingchen couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"It's not a secret system, the wolf blood mushroom I picked on the mountain is the kind with gray and white on the red and black top, as well as broken intestine mushrooms, several kinds of mushrooms under the star white umbrella, and several kinds of weeds, dried and ground and sprinkled on the meat, which is very fragrant and beautiful!"
Mo Jingchen listened, looking at the barbecue in his hand, his face twitched a few times, and the hand carrying the meat trembled slightly.
Wolf blood mushroom, half a plant can poison a strong cow, and only bones and skin remain after death, such as a vicious wolf eating blood and eating meat;
Broken intestine mushroom, as its name suggests, but a hundred times more vicious, a plant of soup, can poison hundreds of people;
Star white umbrella, one of the two poisonous mushrooms, gray mushroom white spots, ordinary people eat it, poisonous hair within ten steps, skin color turns gray, white spots.
Even if a cultivator accidentally ingests these poisons, it will take several hours and a lot of strength to force the poison out.
The old monk Mingjue shouted the Buddha's name, put down the barbecue in his hand, and folded his hands: "The old man is a person in the Buddhist sect, and he doesn't eat meat!" ”
The other three stared at Mingjue, Mingjue closed his eyes, and his face was determined to be ascetic, and I cut meat to feed all living beings.
