Chapter 17: You're Human
Tian Nongxiang was stunned for a long time, "The wordless tablet is really so powerful, find more people to copy it, why is my clan still so weak?"
"Silly boy, before the foundation is built, there are very few people in our clan who can run a tuna for ten hours, for more than a hundred years. "The patriarch kindly ** his little head.
Tian Nongxiang's eyes widened, "Is it that difficult?" He didn't feel how difficult it was to cultivate the so-called "method of spitting" at all, and when he heard the patriarch say this, he suddenly felt that the old man was starting to fool again. I couldn't help but beat a drum in my heart, it stands to reason that these two old men shouldn't be able to deceive themselves, but why do I always feel that this "wordless monument" is a bit mysterious by them.
The patriarch nodded, squinted his eyes and smiled, "It's not just difficult, if you haven't injected the Faji, you haven't stepped on the path of a monk, if you want to cultivate a technique to the extreme, how can ordinary people do it?"
Tian Nongxiang was even more puzzled, "How can I?"
The patriarch turned his head and glanced at Wu Lao, then turned his head and smiled at Tian Nongxiang: "You are very human!"
Tian Nongxiang scratched his head, thinking in his heart: This old man can't fully believe what he says. Looking up at the two old men, "Have the patriarch and the martial elder copied it?"
The patriarch didn't expect this little guy to ask such a question, and suddenly said, "We are ordinary people. ”
Tian Nongwu originally looked embarrassed, but when he heard the patriarch say this, he almost laughed out loud, "Yes, yes...... We are ordinary people. ”
Tian Nong Xiang jumped to the opposite side, and without thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said, "You two teamed up to fool me, right?"
The two old men were stunned, and they talked bitterly for a long time, but they didn't believe it at all. Tian Nongwu's old face pulled, "Rabbit cub, what are you fooling you for!"
"How did I hear that copying the wordless monument is not dead or wasted, which is completely different from what you two said?" It was also a problem that had plagued him for many days. The patriarch and the martial elder had no reason to deceive him, but Yu Po said that the "wordless tablet" was useless, and said that thousands of clansmen copied it, but they were either paralyzed and crippled or scattered, which made everyone in our clan endanger themselves, and even the clansmen secretly attributed the decline of the emperor's Qiu farmers to the copying of the wordless tablet. This doesn't make sense at all, he is in the same family, and the contrast between what he said is so great that he is really incomprehensible.
"What is useless, it must be Yu Po's ......", Tian Nongwu shouted, originally wanted to scold Yu Po twice, but remembering that she had spilled blood and died in order to save this child, she felt sad in her heart, and swallowed back the words behind.
The patriarch sighed, and only after a long time did he say, "What Yu Po said to you is also true. ”
Tian Nongxiang was shocked when he heard the patriarch say this. Damn, I almost got on it.
Before he could come back to his senses, he only heard the patriarch speak again, "The path of cultivation is the path against the sky, and it is difficult to cultivate the art of shaking the world without peerless resources." He paused, stared at Tian Nongxiang, and said, "Do you understand?"
Tian Nongxiang shook his head blankly.
The patriarch smiled slightly, and then reached out to pull him to him, ** his little head, "Child, do you know why the ancestor is so strong?"
Tian Nongxiang's eyes blinked, and he said that the wordless tablet was related to the ancestor again, and there must be a connection between the two, "That old man also copied the wordless tablet?"
Tian Nongxiang remembered the appearance of the ancestor, he had seen it when he first joined the clan, it was more serious than the patriarch's rickety, and he could feel him trembling when he sat there. Whenever he heard someone say "how powerful the ancestor is", Tian Nongxiang laughed secretly in his heart, and he couldn't see how the old man was associated with the word "powerful". Bragging is not only good at the patriarch, but the entire clan has the essence, but it is not as obvious as the patriarch's blowing.
"How do you speak? That's the Ancestor. Tian Nongwu shouted.
Tian Nongxiang stuck out his tongue, laughed, and hurriedly said, "Yes, it's the ancestor." ”
The patriarch smiled, turned his head and said to Elder Wu: "The ancestor is also an old man." ”
Seeing that the patriarch was not serious, Wu Lao smiled secretly in his heart, turned his head and said to Tian Nongxiang: "It is said that the wordless tablet is a tablet forged by the ancient power of steel and black jade, which melts the essence of heaven and earth, and copies the understanding of his life, which is called the ancient Xuanjing. However, this stele is usually crystal clear, smooth as a mirror, and there is not a word, ordinary people are difficult to peek at the scriptures, because it is called a wordless stele. Only the best talent can get a glimpse of one or two. It is rumored that the scripture is mysterious, and it is different from the current cultivation system, and if a person with a foundation forcibly copies it, nine times out of ten he will die. ”
Wu Lao said slowly, and Tian Nongxiang's eyes widened when he heard it.
Wu Lao paused for a moment and continued: "However, it is difficult for people who have no foundation to copy this scripture. It wasn't until the time of the ancestor that he accidentally discovered that the rather ordinary method of vomiting was actually in harmony with the wordless tablet, so he copied one or two. ”
Tian Nongxiang was suspicious: "Why did the ancestor copy one or two?"
Yu Po smiled and touched his little head, "Because before the ancestor discovered this skill, he was already quite cultivated, if he forcibly cultivated the Ancient Xuanjing, the consequences would be unimaginable." Even so, it has also benefited the ancestors a lot, protecting our clan for more than 100 years. ”
Tian Nongxiang smashed his tongue, "It's so powerful, why haven't you heard of it before?"
The patriarch sighed, "The great chaos a hundred years ago hurt the foundation of the ancestors, and they could no longer be promoted, so that the decline of our clan became worse. ”
"It's no wonder that the clansmen have to practice the method of tuna in their later lives, and it was originally used here. Tian Nongxiang somewhat understood.
"Yes, the inscription can only be unlocked if the method of tuna is used to the extreme. Yu Po nodded.
"Why do you want to run the method of tuna for ten hours in a week before you are ten years old?" asked Tian Nongxiang with a small face.
"The younger the age, the lower the cultivation, and the more obvious the utility of the inscription. If after the age of ten, if you lay the foundation of the Fa, you will always be restricted, and besides, the cultivation system is different, and the deeper the cultivation, the greater the risk. ”
Tian Nongxiang nodded with relief, "That is to say, if you are not qualified to copy the wordless tablet at the age of ten, and then copy it after laying the Faji, the probability of being finished." ”
Wu Lao began to lose his tune again when he heard him, and glared at him.
But the patriarch didn't think it was wrong, touched his head, and praised him vigorously, "The child is smart." Then he said with a serious face: "If you can copy it well, the more you understand, the more beneficial it will be to your future cultivation, and if you can be like the ancestor, it is the luck of my clan." ”
Tian Nongxiang let out a long "oh", went around in circles for a long time, and finally got to the point.
Before he could speak, the patriarch spoke again, "Child, don't force it, if your enlightenment is blocked, stop in time, otherwise, ......"
"Otherwise?" asked Tian Nongxiang eagerly.
"In the past few hundred years, there have been more than 1,000 people who have fallen or gone mad because of copying. The patriarch said in a deep voice.
Tian Nongxiang chuckled in his heart. Damn, it's so miserable. No wonder our clan is so weak, this thing alone has been scrapped by the Tian Nong clan. If you have an enmity with anyone, give it to him, and you can get them down in a few years. The patriarch boasted that he was still desperately protecting, and he did much more. As long as it is a normal person, as long as the head is not squeezed by the door, as long as the nerves are not intermittently deranged, they will not snatch this thing into their hands and harm themselves to death. From this point of view, the two emperors Tian Yan are definitely smart people. Thinking of this, Tian Nongxiang suddenly felt that the patriarch's head might have been squeezed by the door, and he was so stupidly cute at such an age.
"What about the ancestor? Why did he ......" Tian Nongxiang originally wanted to say, "Why didn't he die?" but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he swallowed the second half of the sentence back.
The patriarch raised his eyebrows, knowing what he was going to ask. What's more, I suddenly felt that this doll was talking too much, and it was not commensurate with his age, and I was very surprised. After looking at him for a while, he replied: "The strongest technique is only for extraordinary people." Among my clan, the ancestor is one, and you are also a ......."
Before the patriarch could finish speaking, Tian Nongxiang struggled out of his hand and jumped away, and said with a smile: "Patriarch, you don't need to fool me, I'll just copy it." You and Wu Lao, and the clansmen treat me like a mountain, I should also do something for the clansmen, and if I die, I will die, I have already died once a few days ago. ”
Hearing him say this, the two old men were stunned. I didn't expect him to answer so simply, and the tired two went around, taking off their pants and farting.
The patriarch looked at him with satisfaction, and felt more and more that the child in front of him, who looked less than five years old, had an indescribable maturity. Every word he says is like a thoughtful adult. This made the old patriarch puzzled, staring at Tian Nongxiang, and there was an indescribable worry. After a long time, he spoke: "Child, tomorrow Elder Wu will send you to the ancestral altar, and you will have a good life to cultivate, and the hope of Emperor Qiu Tiannong is pinned on you." ”
Tian Nongxiang didn't expect that the patriarch, who had always spoken "in the clouds and in the fog", would suddenly come to such a sentence. Suddenly, it seemed that a thousand catties of weight were pressed on his shoulders, making him breathless. He didn't expect that he would suddenly be tied to the entire clan, let alone become the sustenance of the clan.
He nodded heavily, but did not answer.
"Go back, child, get ready, you have to stay at the ancestral altar for a while. Wu Lao came over and touched his head.
Tian Nongxiang let out a "hmm", puffed up his chest and turned to go out
The patriarch and the martial elder looked at his little back, with a trace of comfort, a trace of worry, and more doubts about this child. For some reason, they always felt that there was something special about this child, but they couldn't even tell what was so special. Maybe this is God's special arrangement for the farmers of Diqiu, whether it is a blessing or a curse, can only be verified by time.
