As soon as I finished speaking, Li Hongchen looked at me with interest, and it was undeniable that there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Tell me your reasons, I hope you are not a kid who says big things in front of me." ”

I said in a deep voice, "What's the use of respecting the gods and Buddhas? In the final analysis, you still have to rely on your own ≡ whether you can endure it, and the help of gods and Buddhas is useless; If you are strong and strong, you can rise despite the gods and Buddhas. I have seen a lot of unfair things, and people all over the world regard God and Buddha as their faith. But they have to listen to so many prayers every day that they can't even take care of them. ”

"Interesting...... Li Hongchen chuckled, "For example? ”

"I once went to a place called Gentle Country, where there were many slaves, and they even had the right to live in the hands of others. These people prayed to the gods and Buddhas to help them every day, but they were suppressed by the more powerful Taoist priests. It's strange, everyone is a Taoist priest, why when they prayed for God's help, no gods could hear it? I sneered.

Li Hongchen looked at me calmly, but I could tell that there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. I know that, in a way, Li Hongchen and I are the same type of people.

He stood up gently, and I noticed that Li Hongchen was quite tall, almost 1.75 meters. At that time, he was definitely a person of great height.

"A lot of things are broken, but in fact, you have to blame yourself......" Li Hongchen walked towards me step by step, and he said softly, "I also did something wrong back then, looking for gods and Buddhas to pray for help." It wasn't until the end that I realized it was my fault. If you can control your destiny, why pin your trust on others? Humble piety does not necessarily bring pity, Jiang Cheng, I hope you can stick to my path. ”

Hearing Li Hongchen's words, I couldn't help but be a little excited: "That means that I can get your inheritance?" ”

"Nope."

As soon as Li Hongchen opened his mouth, I fell to the bottom, and he took me up to the high platform, and I noticed that there was a formation on this high platform, which was a bit similar to the Qiankun Bagua Array, but there was Sanskrit on it.

"It's ...... be able to merge the Buddha with the Tao," I was surprised, "what kind of formation is this?" ”

Li Hongchen said calmly: "Since you are my disciple, then I should also teach you something." Taoism can make you stronger, and Buddhism can keep you a pure heart. If you want to grow, you have to be exposed to both. ”

I saw that one head and two were big, and I couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that you want me to crack the formation?" ”

"Yes......" Li Hongchen smiled, "This formation is my life's work, if you can see some, then you can improve by leaps and bounds, and ......"

"Don't!"

Before Li Hongchen could finish speaking, I directly rejected his request. He froze. He looked at me in disbelief, and I said seriously, "Just don't, I've never known anything about formations, so I don't want to waste my time here." ”

"But the inheritance is in the formation......"

"Then you take out the inheritance."

"But that's how the rules ......"

"I don't care. Rules are dead, but people are alive. ”

Li Hongchen looked at me in disbelief, and my face was full of seriousness. He took a deep breath, then reached out and patted me on the shoulder. Said very seriously: "It's okay if you don't understand the formation, I can teach you." You've already come here, and the inheritance is only one step away, but you say that you don't want to participate in the formation. Isn't it a bit ...... Not so good? ”

I fiddled with my nails and said unhappily, "I have called you a master, and you will not give any benefit." Don't forget, we are the real destined people, and your inheritance is here, and it will definitely open the door to convenience. Let me tell you the truth, Master, it's been many years since you died. If you don't carry forward your inheritance quickly, you may be surpassed by others in the future. I don't know anything about formations, I can't understand them at all. ”

Li Hongchen said as a matter of course: "So I will teach you, isn't this just a door to convenience?" ”

I even said as a matter of course: "I can't learn it, no matter how hard you teach me, I can't learn it." ”

Li Hongchen took a deep breath, and he said quite gently: "You and I are destined, and the fate is very deep. You see. This formation seems to be very profound, but in fact, it is very simple to find the law. For example, this formation, looking at it, at first glance, it is easy to see that the purple qi is coming from the east......"

I wondered, "What is purple qi?" ”

He was stunned for a moment. Then he said: "It's the auspicious qi ......."

I asked again, "What is the auspicious qi?" ”

Li Hongchen's mouth opened, but he didn't say anything. He swallowed his saliva, skipped the topic directly, and said, "Let's talk about the essence, you look at the Sanskrit on the formation." Why can Buddhism and Taoism be merged? Because we ourselves have to abide by the two lines of yin and yang, the rest of the four elephant gossip can be easily reversed. For example......

Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask, "What are the four elephants?" ”

Li Hongchen stopped talking, and he turned his head to look at me. With a gloomy face, he said, "Are you really a Taoist priest?" Can't you even say Sanqing's name? ”

I hurriedly said: "Of course I know, Yuan Shi Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun." ”

"What is the full name of the Origin Heavenly Venerable?" He asked.

I was speechless for a while, and Li Hongchen's face was also gloomy and terrifying. He took a deep breath, finally sat down on the ground, and whispered, "It's okay, it's okay to take your time." I have a secret book of Taoist priests, and after you read it, you should make progress. ”

After that, a book suddenly appeared out of thin air in Li Hongchen's hand and handed it to me, I took the book and looked at it, and whispered: "There are many words on it that I don't recognize, can you read them to me?" ”

"You!"

Li Hongchen finally broke out, he looked at me angrily, and his beautiful face became a little hideous: "You don't know anything, how can you still come to my place!?" ”

I blinked my eyes and said seriously, "Because we are destined." ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, then he sighed deeply and said, "I don't know what to say anymore." ”

I fumbled in my pocket. handed out a cigarette to Li Hongchen, and said shyly: "Master, don't get too excited, smoke a cigarette first." This is our cigarette now. The taste is no worse than dry tobacco, and if you can't take a puff after staying here for so many years, you must feel uncomfortable. ”

Li Hongchen glanced at me, and he took the cigarette. And I hurriedly lit it for him. I saw Li Hongchen take a puff of cigarette, slowly highlight the smoke, and then scratched his hair a little irritably, and muttered, "You can call me ...... How good is that! ”

"Master. Although I am not proficient in Dao arts, it does not mean that I can't make good use of your inheritance......" I said with a smile, "You see that my virtue has now become a Qiankun general, and under the Dao Monarch, there are few people who are my opponents. In fact, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than relying on oneself. You don't rely on gods and Buddhas, I don't rely on Taoism. We are actually people of the same character. ”

"Strong words!"

Li Hongchen scolded, he took two more puffs of cigarette, I saw that his expression was already a little more comfortable, so he whispered: "Master, you see that I can't learn anyway, there is a good saying, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders." If you don't pass it on to me today, will you give it to someone who has no fate later? I'm your apprentice, and if I'm bullied outside, it's a shame for you. Or...... Just give it to me. ”

"Presumptuous!"

Li Hongchen suddenly exploded, he threw the cigarette on the ground, pointed at my nose with his finger, was so angry that he couldn't breathe, and said angrily: "What kind of character am I, Li Hongchen?" Why is it that you are destined to be a person like you, even if you don't understand the formation, it doesn't matter if you don't understand the meaning of Ziqi Donglai, but you can't even say the name of Yuan Shi Tianzun! I'd rather lose my skills than disgrace me with someone like you! ”

Seeing Li Hongchen say this, I knew that things were a little difficult, so I had to sigh and say, "Forget it, then let my unsuccessful apprentice stay by your side forever and serve your old man well." ”

Li Hongchen glared angrily and roared, "Get out!" ”

I shook my head and said, "If you don't pass it on to me, I won't leave." You can also kill me, but the ugly words are ahead, the real master back then only left two inheritances, one is here, and the other was obtained by me. If something happens to me, the inheritance of the master will disappear completely. No problem? Such...... Is it really okay? ”
