Chapter 21: The Purpose of Practice
Dominating the secret realm?
When he heard the news, Ma Yiao's face was a little unpleasant.
This matter was a bit out of his control, I saw that he had a headache, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help asking, "Have you heard of this place?" ”
Ma Yiao nodded, said yes, know - the so-called dragon gave birth to nine sons, each is different, these nine sons, one is called a prisoner cow, two is said to be a prisoner, three is said to mock the wind, four Pu Prison, five Fox, six Baxia, seven Raccoon, eight negative Tu, nine Kiss, that Baxia is also known as a turtle, similar to a turtle, life is good to bear, the force is infinite, the legend of Baxia in ancient times often carried three mountains and five mountains, in the rivers, lakes and seas to make waves, and was subdued by Dayu, used to control the water, never thought about the flood to go, wild again, so to Dayu moved to the sky and the earth of the extra-large stone stele, It is engraved with the deeds of Baxia to control the water, telling it to carry it and not walk casually.
All of the above is a myth, but myth is also a part of history, this thing is a great demon handed down from the wilderness; As for the secret realm of Baxia, it is said that the tomb where Baxia is buried, there is a cave in it, and many treasures and spiritual objects are hidden, which has been chased by countless cultivators and night walkers for thousands of years.
After listening to Ma Yiao's explanation, I immediately understood, but this place is ethereal, and it is really not easy to find it.
For thousands of years, countless people have been pursuing, but no one has been able to reach it, what does it mean?
First, this legend is very likely to be false, there is no secret realm in the world, and it is very likely that it was made up by others to deceive ghosts; Second, even if there were, why couldn't so many seniors find it, but we were able to overtake in a corner and find it all at once?
Trouble!
My heart almost chuckled, feeling that this matter was hanging, but Ma Yiao made two phone calls in front of us after being silent for a long time.
The first call was to his aunt Huang Qianye's contact, saying that he was going to leave for a while, hoping that she could send someone to take care of his master, while the second call was very brief, only a few words: "I want to see Martin, no matter where he is, I hope he can rush to Yangcheng in three days, you know the place." ”
After finishing speaking, after he hung up the phone, he said to Xiao Zhong Huang next to him: "Brother Zhong, Master will ask you to take care of it." ”
The title between the brothers is very interesting, the two will not be called senior brothers, but each other is called "brother", Xiao Zhong Huang called Ma Yiao "Brother Ma", "Little Brother Ma", I can understand this, but Ma Yiao called Xiao Zhong Huang "Brother Zhong", I was a little confused.
I asked about it, but I didn't get an answer.
This seems to be a tacit understanding.
Ma Yiao didn't explain his thoughts, but Xiao Zhonghuang guessed it at once, and said, "Take me." ”
The man shook his head and said no, although he entrusted Senior Aunt Huang, there must be one person by Master's side, I don't trust the others, only you, I can leave with confidence.
Xiao Zhong Huang was very worried, and said But if you go, you will die for a lifetime?
Ma Yiao smiled, stretched out his hand, stroked Xiao Zhonghuang's head, smiled dotingly, and said Don't worry, my life is hard, didn't the blind man tell me my fate, saying that I can live to be forty years old......
Xiao Zhong Huang pursed his lips and said that he was forty years old, and it sounded almost over.
The senior brother was chatting, and I was listening to it, and suddenly, Ma Yiao turned his head, smiled at me, and then said, "Brother Hou, are you afraid of death?" ”
Yes?
I was suddenly asked such a topic, which surprised me a little, I was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but if I figure out what I'm dying for, I think I can convince myself to overcome it." ”
Ma Yiao smiled with satisfaction, grinned, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said I plan to take you with me this time, as for why, there is only one answer, that is, the person I just looked for, that is, a guy named Martin, his father once went to the secret realm of Baxia, and he survived, according to him, his father once saw a thing in the secret realm of Baxia, which is very similar to the legendary weak water.
"Weak water?"
I immediately became excited, and when I heard my words, Ma Yiao nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, it is the weak water of 'three thousand weak water only drink one scoop'." ”
He looked at me calmly, while I took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go, what needs to be done, just say." ”
Ma Yiao said: "The road you are about to take is very difficult, and no one can complete it for you, so you need to work hard yourself, whether it is to get the medicine related to the tribulation, or the tribulation itself - of course, you can rest assured, in this process, as long as you work hard enough, I will try my best to help you achieve it." ”
This man's words made me feel at ease.
It is well said in "The Internationale", "There has never been a savior, and it does not rely on the emperor of the gods", and people who expect others to help you arrange everything are always cowards.
Although I am grateful to Ma Yiao, I enjoy the friendship of equality and freedom more than the affiliation.
It's like me and the old gold before me.
After Ma Yiao ordered everything, he handed over his master Wang Chao'an, who had become a vegetative person, to Xiao Zhonghuang to take care of, and he took me to the car to Yangcheng.
The two of them tossed and turned, and finally arrived at the fourteenth village, came to the courtyard with the gate closed, opened the iron lock, and walked inside, a huge figure appeared, standing in front of it, but it was the girl who was as fat as a mountain, and shouted aggrievedly at Ma Yiao: "Little Brother Ma, you are finally back, you know, I am going to starve to death these days......"
She shouted loudly, and the words of another girl, Hennie, came from the water tank: "You lie, when you eat, which time did you not eat the most?" ”
Feihua cried with a sad face, saying that she eats steamed buns every day, and there is no oil and water at all, who can eat enough?
Ma Yiao looked at this fat girl who was coquettish with him dotingly, took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket, handed it to her, and said that he would buy some sauce beef and barbecued pork and come back, and eat them together at night.
"Yay!"
Fat Flower cheered, and then walked out the door, and Heinie, who was climbing on the edge of the huge water tank, saw me, and said, Alas, I know you, what is your name, Fat Flower is always talking about you......
Fat Flower nagging me?
I heard goosebumps on my back, and Ma Yiao said with a smile: "His name is Hou Mo, and he will be called Brother Hou in the future." ”
Hainie was very respectful of Ma Yiao, and when she heard this, she obediently shouted, "Brother Hou." ”
I nodded and said yes, hello.
Ma Yiao asked Hai Ni, "Nothing has happened recently, has it?" ”
Hei Ni thought for a while and said: "There are no big things, but there are small things - Grandpa Li's daughter-in-law came to make trouble once, and he had to say that he used to be a landlord and hid a treasure at home, and now he moved here, he made up his mind to give it to others, and she is not allowed to ...... this matter."
Hearing this, Ma Yiao's originally sunny face became gloomy, and he said, "Next time she comes back, ask Feihua to go out directly." ”
Haynie squinted and smiled, saying yes.
Ma Yiao led me into the house, saw my doubts on my face, and said to me: "Li Ye and Liu Ye used to be people from our Ranger Alliance, and they were both cultivators, but it is a pity that in the sixties and seventies, they encountered a wave and broke their merits, and since then they have been in a slump, and in their later years, they encountered their children who were not filial, and life was a little difficult......
He said that these two people were the two old men who were dozing off on the bamboo chairs when I came here last time, and Xiao Zhonghuang was not polite to them, but except for him, the others were polite.
It turned out to be such a situation.
The two of them sat down, and I followed Ma Yiao's words and asked, "Ranger Alliance, so you should all be humans, not nightcrawlers, right?" ”
Ma Yiao nodded and said yes.
I opened my mouth, but I didn't speak, and Ma Yiao was so smart that he immediately understood what I meant, and said, "You want to ask, why can ordinary people compete with the gifted and blessed Nightcrawler, right?" ”
I'm right, to be honest, I don't have much contact with these people, but judging from the situation that day, the Nightkin is indeed very strong, especially when they turn into youkai and reveal their original form, one by two, and they are terrifyingly violent.
"You're right, but you have to know that in essence, there is no difference between Nightcrawler and human beings at this moment, we have all gone through tens of millions of years of evolution, and in the process of natural selection, we give up some things and gain some things - the part that is given up is not abandoned, but becomes a recessive gene, hidden in a huge DNA, but if it is stimulated enough and guided correctly, it will be re-stimulated, so from a philosophical level, Every living thing is a treasure trove......"
He talked eloquently, and when he saw that I was confused, he couldn't help but smile: "I'm sorry, I used to be a student of biology, in simple words, nightcrawlers and humans, the direction of evolution is the same, but everyone's dominant genes are different, maybe the process of stimulating human instinct will be more difficult, but as a group that has dominated this world for thousands of years, ten thousand years or even hundreds of thousands of years, our biggest advantage lies in inheritance." ”
My mind suddenly cleared up, and I said, "That's what you call a 'cultivator', right?" ”
Ma Yiao did not hide his selfishness, and explained to me: "Practice, this is a very broad word, and there are many methods, but whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Islam, Christ, Yasted, Spiritualism, Yoga and ancient witchcraft, it is a process of cultivating the truth, that is, finding the true self and the original self, and this 'true self' is said to be mysterious and mysterious, but in the end it is to find the key to unlock the hidden treasure house in one's body, hoping to achieve transcendence from life and death, cut off pain, not be burdened by things, and finally achieve immortality, and even immortality. Heaven and earth are together, and the realm of returning to the basics ......"
When I heard him say this, I was shocked and couldn't help but say, "In other words, your cultivation doesn't exist to fight against the Nightcrawlers?" ”
Ma Yiao sighed and said that the so-called confrontation is just a small road, and the real avenue lies in eternal life......
