Chapter 21: Journey to the West (3)
"It's so cool, it's been a long time since I've absorbed the power of the Heavens so happily, according to this progress, I will be able to enter the second layer of qi refining in a maximum of one to two months! Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhao Li stood up and stretched his limbs, both satisfied and a little regretful.
On the top floor of the "Immortal Refining Dao", there were dozens of monks who stood up with the rising sun - Zhao Li was just one of them, he was going to practice the "Shangyuan Gathering Star Specification" last night, and the first thing he thought of was the Immortal Refining Dao, but he didn't expect to come to see it, good guy, there have already been many people who have taken the best position, and he can only find a side seat to sit down and cultivate.
Although there are many people cultivating at the top of this Immortal Refining Dao, fortunately, some of them absorb the power of the moon, some of them absorb the power of the heavens and stars, and some of them have the perception of Ziweixing... The most important thing is that the monks here are all a group of rookies in the Qi refining period - the monks who have built the foundation and cultivated above have a little face, and they are embarrassed to meditate in front of the public, and the top layer of this Immortal Refining Dao is not covered by clouds, and the power of stars and moonlight is extremely surging, and the rookies can't absorb it all, so there is no accident of fighting for territory.
"I also discovered one of the benefits of this "Shangyuan Gathering Stars", that is, I can only practice at night, and I can't practice during the day if I want to, time is really free. Zhao Li muttered to himself, going to the place where he made an appointment with Nie Linghui yesterday to tell the story.
"Zhao Xiao Daoyou!" Zhao Li was about to leave, when a shout came from behind.
"Huh?" Zhao Li turned around, and it was a middle-aged male monk who called him.
It's a little familiar, but I don't know it... Zhao Li looked at this middle-aged male monk, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Ah, but yesterday's tea stall heard me talk about the Journey to the West, the Taoist friend of the Journey to the West?" Thanks to his super brain, this one-sided monk Zhao Li still remembers, and he also took out a Bigu Dan.
"Haha, what a coincidence, I didn't expect Zhao Daoyou to also cultivate here," the middle-aged monk rushed to Zhao Li's side and said, "Daoyou's Journey to the West can make me think about it all night." ”
Zhao Li smiled and said: "Thank you for this Daoist brother's support, I was about to go to the small tea stall to continue talking, Daoist brother will listen to it together?"
The middle-aged monk hesitated for a moment before he nodded and said, "Then let's go, I should have gone to the bottom of the mountain to find something to sell spirit stones during the day, but if I don't let me finish listening to this story, it won't work." ”
Zhao Li listened to the middle-aged monk's words, and couldn't help but have another idea in his heart.
"Brother Wei, what kind of story can make you not go down the mountain?" A monk on the side heard the conversation between the middle-aged monk and Zhao Li, and couldn't help but jokingly ask, these rookie monks who have been cultivating in the Immortal Refining Dao all year round are already familiar with each other.
"It's about a monkey seeking the Tao and worshipping the story of the ancestor of the human race, and I don't know the rest yet. The middle-aged monk laughed.
"That's the story of the demon clan's cultivators? "A few monks from the side have also come.
"No, no, it's not that simple. The middle-aged monk wanted to say but couldn't understand, so he simply patted Zhao Li and said, "That's what this Taoist friend said, why don't you go and listen to it together?"
"Ha, okay, let's go listen first..."
"That's it, you come back and talk to me, and you have to go to earn Bigu Dan to eat during the day. "Some monks went on the road very happily together, after all, cultivation is a matter of night, as long as you don't die of hunger during the day, as for those who are really likely to starve to death during the day, you can only give up and listen.
When Zhao Li brought a few people who had come to listen to the Journey to the West to Nie Linghui's small tea stall, he found that many monks were already sitting and drinking empty tung tea.
Don't these poor monks have to go to work to make money? Zhao Xianzhong thought silently.
Seeing Zhao Li coming, Nie Linghui dragged him to the side and said, "These are all stories that I heard from you yesterday, and I came here early in the morning, and I asked if the story was long and was almost over." ”
"Morning. Zhao Li said, the main event has not started, and he also decided to pour more water when he speaks, and he is not afraid to finish speaking, "Fengshen List" is ready to fill the position at any time.
"Fellow Daoist, since you are here, let's start talking about the Journey to the West, let's drink empty tung tea. A monk began to urge.
"Right now, right away. Zhao Li responded twice, then turned back to Nie Linghui and said: "The tea stall will start to become bigger and stronger from today, you can write, wait for me to say, you can write down what I said, and don't collect the money for your tea." ”
Zhao Li saw that Nie Linghui was about to get angry, and added: "It's not that you don't accept it, it's that you don't collect the money to pour the tea in person, just put the tea bucket there, let them pour it themselves, and give the money after drinking, this is called self-service tea, don't you understand?"
・・・・・・
Zhao Li sat on a bench in the middle of the tea stall and said loudly: "Last time, it was said that Sun Monkey King learned back to somersault clouds and seventy-two changes, and returned to Huaguo Mountain in Aolai Country, let's continue..."
The surrounding monks were full of people, many people forgot to drink the empty tung tea in their hands, and many people who had no place stood or sat on the ground, and the proprietress of the tea stall was desperately remembering the story told by Zhao Li with a pen.
When Zhao Li was at halftime or deliberately hung his appetite for Bigu Dan or something, the monks also had a crazy and heated discussion.
"This Bodhi Ancestor is a great immortal of the human race, how can he accept a monkey to get started, even if it is a natural Lingming stone monkey, it is not good, a demon is a demon..."
"What's this, don't say that Bodhi Ancestor is an immortal, you look at our six major sects in Qindi, which faction doesn't raise a few mountain-guarding beasts? Aren't the red-eyed clouds, Xuanguang Sculpture and the like also demon beasts?"
"That's different, the Bodhi Ancestor has passed on the supernatural powers like the somersault cloud and the seventy-two changes to the Monkey King, and other human disciples don't have this treatment..."
"I can't listen to stories here every day, I have to do things, but if I don't listen, my heart is itchy and panicked, and if there is any plot leaked in the middle, it will be even more uncomfortable. "There are also monks who put forward small opinions, and everyone feels that this Journey to the West is a very long story, I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to it for a while, but most of us are relatively poor monks, how can we have time to listen to stories all day long.
"You don't have to worry about this problem at all," Zhao Li jumped out and said: "Every story I say, Nie Daoyou will record it, friends who have not heard it can come to see it when they have time, of course, this is what I worked hard to tell, Nie Daoyou worked hard to record, you can't watch it in vain, although it is not easy to know everyone, but a little heart should always be..."
"Understood, understood. The monks nodded.
・・・・・・
On this day, when all the listening monks had dispersed, Zhao Li helped Nie Linghui pack up his things, and five or six black-clothed monks dressed as martial artists came over, and when Nie Linghui saw these monks, his face changed slightly.
"Miss Nie, it seems that your business is doing well today. Walking at the front, a thin blackfriar smiled first.
Nie Linghui glanced at these monks, silently took out a large bucket of empty tung tea and handed it over.
"Okay, thank you, Miss Nie!" The black-clothed monk smiled like a ruffian, and put the empty tong tea handed over by Nie Linghui into the storage bag, and looked at Zhao Li at the same time: "Hey, this little brother hasn't seen it, he just came to Yuntai Mountain, right?"
"In Xia Zhao Li, I only went up the mountain yesterday. Zhao Li didn't look at the people in front of him at all, but the spiritual power fluctuations on his body really proved the identity of these bastard-like monks, and the spiritual power fluctuations of the most burly monk in the crowd were even more amazing, and it seemed to be almost the same as the foundation building period!
"No wonder, it's no wonder that a few of our brothers didn't greet each other well, and they only saw Brother Zhao today, and in the future, if someone dares to bully you in this Yuntai Mountain Immortal Refining Dao, if someone dares to bully you, they will report the name of our "Blood Sea Crazy Knife Gang", but well, our "Blood Sea Crazy Knife Gang" can't help in vain, right?" A strange smile appeared on the face of the thin monk at the front.
"He used to be a mortal, and he didn't have a single broken spirit on his body, and even the Bigu Dan he ate today was just given to him by someone else. Nie Linghui said.
"As long as you still eat Bigu Dan, you have to have a share of my "Blood Sea Crazy Knife Gang", this is the rule. The burly monk in the middle spoke, his voice was rough and hoarse, and he looked like a brave and fierce monk, and there was even a long scar on his cheek, which added to his anger.
"But it's rare to see Miss Nie report grievances to others, and it's no problem for me to break the rules for a beauty like Miss Nie. The burly Scar Monk looked at Nie Linghui, his eyes flashed with ill intentions, and said, "I just don't know when Miss Nie will agree to double cultivate with me Huang Bahu? ”
Nie Linghui listened to such vulgar words, but it was only as if she hadn't heard it, she just turned around and continued to clean up the tea stall, but when she passed by Zhao Li's side, she whispered: "Bigu Dan give it to them." ”
Before Zhao Li could react, the thin black-clothed monk spoke again: "Boy, have you heard, as long as you still eat Bigu Dan, you have to have a share of my "Blood Sea Crazy Knife Gang", come and take it out for you." ”
In just a moment, Zhao Li finally reacted, aren't these black-clothed monks the gangsters and scum who collected protection money and engaged in extortion in the society in their previous lives?
Referring to the comparison of the strength of the two sides, Zhao Li didn't say a word, and took out two pills of Bigu Dan very cooperatively-this is his remaining storytelling harvest today, there were originally four grains, but he had already eaten two grains.
"Yohe, that's good, newcomers can mix Bigu Dan to eat as soon as they go to Yuntai Mountain, I like you like this!" said the thin monk as he unceremoniously grabbed a Bigu Dan from Zhao Li's hand and threw it on the ground, and stepped on it and crushed it vigorously.
"Don't blame my brother for speaking ugly, this kind of Bigu Dan is really bad, we don't even bother to eat it, it's the rule to accept you a grain, little brother will mix well in the future, strive to earn some spirit stones, don't accept this shabby thing of Bigu Dan, brothers still have something to go first, and I'll come to see you in a few days." The thin monk bent down and made sure that this Bigu Pill was too broken to be eaten, before he raised his head and said another word to Zhao Li.
"Okay, let's go to West Street and take a look, I heard that there are a few boys who have made a lot of money recently. As soon as Huang Bahu, the leader of the gangsters, spoke, the other bastard monks around him hugged him and walked to the other side, but the thin man finally didn't forget to turn around and say to Zhao Linghui: "If you don't think life is good, don't forget that our brother tiger can cover you at any time." The yellow bully laughed, and the laughter was full of pride.
It wasn't until these black-clothed monks were far away that Nie Linghui looked at Zhao Li and said, "Don't feel sorry for Bigu Dan, if you see these people in the future, no matter what you have, give them some." ”
"Who are these?" Zhao Li put away the remaining pill of Bigu Dan, and his original good mood had become extremely bad at the moment.
"Some martial arts bastards who used to mix the rivers and lakes have become monks by luck, and that Huang Bahu has been in the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period for many years, and there is no one below the foundation to govern him. Nie Linghui didn't say much, but it was enough for Zhao Li's brain to make up for it.
"Is there no one on this Yuntai Mountain who cares about them?" Zhao Li asked with some incredulity, the monk is respected by mortals as an "immortal", not only because of the monk's longevity and ability, but also because the monk often takes action to remove demons and eliminate harm for mortals, is it possible that on this Yuntai Mountain where monks gather, there is no monk who has a righteous heart?
Zhao Linghui sighed and said: "You must not know, my Qindi Immortal Alliance has two prohibitions: first, unless it is a sect dispute approved by the Immortal Alliance, high-level monks are not allowed to cross the level to attack low-level monks; ”
"What?" Zhao Li's eyes widened, the first one, high-level monks are not allowed to casually shoot at low-level monks, he can figure it out, this is to protect low-level monks, but what is the second one, to protect evil demon monks? But if even the demon monks are protected, then the existence of these "cultivation scum" is not incredible.
"There's a lot more you don't know, remember to do what I say when you meet them in the future. Nie Linghui said, Huang Bahu's group of bastard monks will exist in Yuntai Mountain, not only because these two prohibitions protect them, but also because they know how to bully the soft and fear the hard, all the monks who have a background, they will never provoke, only find trouble with the helpless low-level monks, and these people except for Huang Batian, most of them are in the middle and late stages of Qi refining, they form a group to bully people, and ordinary monks can really resist except for obedient submission.
