CHAPTER XXII
"Hey, little ghost, you haven't told me your true identity yet!"
After feeling a sigh, I suddenly came back to my senses, pinched the little ghost's face, leaned down and asked him.
"Oh, take your hand away, I'm the eighth disciple of Taizu, how dare you be rude to me?"
"This old witch always thought that she was the only inheritor of the Master's Immortal Method, but it wasn't until she saw me that she found out that her Immortal Method had cultivated the wrong way, and she tricked me into drinking the 'Innocent Water' under jealousy, causing me to lose my anger and become a yellow-mouthed child. β
"I've heard of that thing, and legend says it's the cleanest water in the world, and whoever drinks it, once you drink it, it becomes like a blank sheet of paper, and your memories and cultivation are all gone. β
After hearing what happened to the little ghost, I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him, and said very angrily: "In this case, why is there no one to administer justice for you? Now Yin Chan'er is still swaggering everywhere!"
"Alas, I'm smart, I've been confused for a while, I've been coaxed like this by Yin Chan'er, how can I be embarrassed to tell my brothers?"
The imp lowered his head, seeming a little embarrassed.
"That's not right!" I suddenly noticed that something was wrong with this sentence, "since you are embarrassed to tell you about the people of the sect, how can you tell me all this?"
The little ghost looked at me with wide eyes, and immediately smiled like a cute smile: "Doesn't it look like you also hate Yin Chan'er! We are the same enemy, we are comrades-in-arms, aren't we?"
"You don't have to slip your head with me, why don't you tell the truth quickly!"
"That's the truth! Believe it or not!"
"Okay!"
I pinched the faces on both sides of the imp and said viciously, "Are you telling the truth?"
"That's the truth! Woo woo, you're bullying me!"
The little ghost who has always been entangled suddenly grabbed the tip and behaved obediently this time, and actually covered his eyes and pretended to cry.
I knew that he was pretending to be pitiful and trying to fool this matter, but in the end I couldn't pretend to be vicious.
After I retracted my hand, I suddenly thought that he was also an old monster who cultivated the immortal method like Yin Chan'er, and then looked at his cute appearance now, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.
"What do you think! I'm not very old, okay! Compared to Yin Chan'er's old witch, I'm much younger!"
The little ghost immediately saw what I was thinking, trembled with anger, and stretched out his little fat finger to me and said.
"Hehe, yes, yes, Yin Chan'er, that old witch, how could she be so vicious? When you recover, you must teach her a good lesson!"
I laughed while moving Yin Chan'er out to attract firepower, and sure enough, when the little ghost heard me talk about Yin Chan'er, he didn't care about me for a while, and pulled me to complain about the old witch.
I was also quite dissatisfied with Yin Chan'er, so I complained about her with the little ghost, so in this small cave, the scolding and laughter of me and the little ghost like night owls began to sound from time to time......
"By the way, little ghost, do you know the god of war? I heard that Yin Chan'er had some holidays with him. β
After making a fuss for a while, I couldn't help but think of what the empty charm said, and remembered that the ancestor had also studied art under the Taizu, so I asked out of words.
"God of War, God of War is a figure of the same era as my senior brother, the master accepts apprentices is extremely strict, he has been in the wilderness for countless years, although he has taught countless students, but he has never had the idea of accepting apprentices, until he met the senior brother and the god of war, he was ready to accept them as personal disciples, but for some reason, the god of war seemed to reject the master. β
The little ghost tilted his head to recall, and then continued: "I also heard the senior brother say that if the God of War agreed to the master's request to accept apprentices, then the God of War would be our senior brother. β
Hearing the words of the little ghost, I became more and more confused in my heart, the God of War Ancestor obviously had a very deep master-apprentice relationship with Taizu, but why did he refuse Taizu's request to accept apprentices?
"As for the relationship between the God of War and Yin Chan'er, I can't figure it out, but it's normal for a great hero like the God of War to stand up to the sky and the earth, and it's normal to not be used to Yin Chan'er, a treacherous old witch. β
The imp waved his hand, obviously not knowing much about it.
I nodded, and suddenly remembered one more thing, and asked, "You don't know that the God of War is different from the era you live in, so you always know that your ninth junior brother, right?"
The little ghost swallowed his saliva and looked at me incredulously, "You won't like Lao Jiu, will you? Didn't you like His Royal Highness Yuanzi before?"
Hearing the little ghost pull the topic to Cang Huan, I couldn't help but panic in my heart, and hurriedly said: "What are you talking nonsense, I just want to ask him if he has anything to do with the Ninth Highness!"
"Huh, you see?"
The little ghost stared at me again and again, and finally couldn't help but shake his head, rarely got serious, and said in a silent tone: "There was indeed a bad relationship between Lao Jiu and His Highness Jiu. β
"Bad fate?"
I recalled in my head the bits and pieces of the meeting between the nine disciples of Taizu and His Royal Highness the Nine Emperors, and I couldn't help but feel a big girl's heart, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of evil fate is it?"
The imp glanced at me and muttered in a low voice, "Women are really naturally interested in these loves. β
"Louder! Tell me, I'll never talk to anyone!"
I patted my chest, thinking that the imp had some concerns, and immediately reassured.
"Since you want to know, it doesn't hurt to tell you. β
The imp found a stone pier and sat down, but I remembered that there were still two corpses in the cave, and pulled the imp up, "Let's get out of here first, here, but there are still 'people'!"
As I spoke, I pointed to the two disciples of the God of Food, and the little ghost suddenly understood and followed me towards the outside of the cave.
It took us a long time to find the entrance to the cave, and when we came out of the cave, it was a cloudy day outside, and the clouds in the sky were low and heavy, and it seemed that it was going to rain.
Jing Yu is the ninth disciple of Taizu, and Ying Ze is the ninth son of the Emperor of Heaven, and the two of them seem destined to have some involvement.
At that time, Jingyu was worthy of worshipping under the Taizu Sect, and he wanted to learn some skills to eliminate demons and defend the way, just like the heroes in other people's mouths, and he was happy to be revenge.
However, Taizu did not rush to teach him the method of cultivation, but sent him to carry water and chop wood every day and do some rough work.
So, on the long and winding bluestone steps in front of the Sanxing Cave, you can often see a handsome and good man carrying two loads of water and walking like flying.
In the first two months, Jingyu was able to calm down and complete the tasks set by Taizu every day, but after a long time, he was a little impatient, I came to cultivate, why do you want me to do these tasks every day?
After more than a month, Jingyu really couldn't stand this boring life, and he was ready to go to Taizu to say goodbye and leave here.
It was that time that he saw Yingze, who had just been sent to Taizu to cultivate.
At that time, Yingze was dressed in white, standing in front of Taizu to listen to the training, a pair of deep eyes could not see the joy and sorrow, and the whole person gave people a sense of indifference and alienation, as if he was born with a stone statue, and it would provoke everyone to worship in the temple.
How can there be such a good-looking man in the world? He looks like a star in the sky.
"Since you have come to my three-star cave to cultivate at the order of your emperor's father, then you must forget your identity as the son of the emperor and demand yourself according to the rules of the disciple of the three-star cave. β
Taizu looked like a kind old man, his robe was loose, and his eyes didn't seem to wake up, if it weren't for the occasional flash of light between opening and closing, everyone might think that this was just an ordinary old man next door.
"But according to Taizu's orders. β
Ying Ze nodded, standing aside with his hands tied, his black hair with a shawl with an enviable luster.
"Lao Jiu, have you picked all the water today?"
Taizu looked at Jingyu who was approaching and asked with a smile.
"Back to the master, the disciple is here to talk to the master about carrying water and chopping wood. β
Jingyu heard Taizu's question, took a few steps forward, bowed to the teacher, and said respectfully.
"Do you think that it doesn't mean much to you that the master asks you to do some menial work every day?"
"The disciple didn't dare, but the disciple came to worship the mountain with all his heart and yearning for the immortal Taoism, and was fortunate to be accepted by the master, and the disciple was overjoyed, but he did some mundane things every day, which really made the disciple a little disappointed. β
"When it comes to cultivating the Tao, the most taboo is frivolous, and the teacher asks you to chop wood and carry water, which is to hone your character, and if you want to cultivate the Tao, you must first understand your heart, and then see your nature. β
Taizu stroked his long beard and admonished earnestly.
"But Master, the disciple has also asked a few senior brothers and sisters, after they entered the door, the master directly used the Spiegel Terrace to let them enter it to hone their minds, why did they change the method when they came to the disciple?"
Jingyu seemed to know that Taizu would say such a thing, and couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart.
"You're a little different from them!"
Taizu stared at Jingyu as if he sighed softly.
"What's the difference? Is it just because the disciple has an ordinary background that he was chosen from among the mountain worshippers?"
Jingyu is very unconvinced, Taizu Sanxing Cave here every day there are creatures from all over the Eight Desolations and Liuhe kneeling in front of Taizu's door, hoping to get Taizu's favor and be accepted by Taizu, but over the years, the only successful one is Jingyu.
After Jingyu was selected, it was not that he had not heard the gossip of others, and those people said that the reason why Jingyu was favored by Taizu and included in the door was only because he was lucky.
Because it was Taizu himself who said that if there were people with outstanding talents, there would definitely be hope of being selected, but since the endless years, how many big people who have passed through the heavens and latitudes were also members of the army of worshipping mountains when they were young, and even they were not included in the door of Taizu.
They all believe that Taizu has no intention of accepting disciples, and Jingyu is just a disciple selected by Taizu at random in order to block the mouths of Youyou, just to not lose his trust in the world.
"Hahaha, Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu, if the teacher really wants to pick apprentices, how many people will come to the Eight Desolations and Liuhe? If I just don't want to lose my trust in the world, then why don't I choose those people with extraordinary talents? Others think that choosing you can't convince the public, so why don't you think about it, why should I choose you?"
"Thisβ"
Jingyu was speechless for a while, in fact, this truth couldn't be simpler, with the status of Taizu, why should he choose Jingyu from thousands of people to perfunctory others?
Those people simply say that grapes are sour because they can't eat them, and what they say makes no sense at all.
It's just that the three of them became tigers, and Jingyu himself was treated differently, so he lost his confidence for a while.
In fact, thinking about it the other way, Taizu's way of treating him is different from the eight senior brothers and sisters in front of him, so isn't it an alternative value?
Thinking of this, Jingyu was stunned, and felt that he was indeed unbroken, and the five aggregates were easy to lose.
"The disciple knows, and the disciple will continue to carry water and chop wood every day until he sees the nature of his heart!"
Seeing Jingyu wake up, Taizu nodded with satisfaction, you know, although this truth is simple, but once you enter the game and involve yourself, it is not easy to see through.
