Chapter 8: Enlightenment and Alliance
Imperceptibly, three days passed.
Early in the morning, with a light rain, Zhou Yang hurried home early.
Recently, his life has been plain and fulfilling, watering in the morning, going to work during the day, and coming back at night to read "The Romance of the Gods" to Changge and Liuli.
Occasionally, they would discuss the characters in the book, which gave Zhou Yang a new perspective on classical Chinese mythology, and also learned some terms and realms of cultivation from them.
For example, the monks of Sevis divided the cultivation of 'mortal to immortal' into three steps, namely: 'refining qi', 'alchemy' and 'refining gods'.
It seems to be a simple three steps, but in essence, it is very difficult to cultivate, and in the middle, you have to go through the 'knot', 'holy womb', 'yin god and yang god', 'big and small heavenly tribulations', etc., and if you make a mistake in one step, you have to go back and rebuild.
If you want to become a monk, you have to meet two innate conditions.
1. The qi pulse is smooth.
2. Possess spiritual roots.
Zhou Yang does not have either of these points.
......
Living room.
As soon as Zhou Yang returned home, Liuli hurriedly said: "Quick, the lord has something to find you!"
"What's the matter?" Zhou Yang didn't care about eating breakfast, so he swept the rain from his head and walked into the master bedroom.
On the balcony, the body of the long song has grown from a seedling into a small tree, with a height of nearly 90 cm.
The well-developed root system is buried deep in the pot, and the trunk with a thick cup mouth is straight upward, and the crown grows in an umbrella-like shape. On the branches, feathered leaves, red, green, yellow, purple... From afar, it looks like a gorgeous flower crown.
When the sun shines, the whole tree shines brightly and dreamily.
Changge explained that her body will automatically adapt to the sunlight and make corresponding adjustments, so the leaves are colorful.
"Good morning, sir. Changge turned around, and Zhou Yang hung the breakfast on the hanger, "Morning, Liuli said that you have something important to look for me, what's the matter?"
"Hmm. Changge looked at the flower pot itself: "When Mr. Morning watered me, did you notice this red fruit?"
Zhou Yang looked.
On her body, a small red fruit grows on the right branch, the size of a soybean, and the inner infrared is transparent, like a round pomegranate seed. He found out early, but Changge was practicing at that time, so he didn't have to ask.
Now hearing her take the initiative to mention it, Zhou Yang's heart moved, and he asked, "It won't be prepared for me, right?"
"Sir, it's all right. Changge raised his fingers, and his fingertips gently held the red fruit: "It's called 'Tongming Fruit', and it has the wonderful use of warming and nourishing the soul." Even if it is eaten by ordinary people, it can greatly improve spiritual perception, and mosquitoes and flies can detect it within 10 meters. ”
"Please sir, eat this fruit. ”
"This ......" Zhou Yang's face was slightly red, looking at the 'short sword' and 'Peizhu' next to the flower pot, he hesitated, and said with a long song: "Sir, I'm afraid that this fruit is poisonous?"
"Not really. Zhou Yang tightened his distracting thoughts, "It's already a big reward for you to help me repair the magic weapon, and today I gave 'Tongming Fruit', how embarrassed am I to accept ......it?"
"What's more, the Tongming Fruit is comparable to the elixir, if I eat it, it will be tantamount to destroying the heavens. Why don't you give it to Ruri?"
Changge nodded and shook his head: "Sir's heart is clear, then I will also explain one thing." 'Tongmingguo' is not used as a thank you to Mr. Hui, but as an exchange. ”
"Exchange?" Zhou Yang didn't understand much, and thought that she was going to exchange the 'Tongming Fruit' for her two tattered magic weapons, and said with a smile: "Even if you fix those two magic weapons for me, I won't be able to use them, if necessary......"
Changge answered: "You misunderstand what I mean, the exchange I said is not an exchange of Mr. treasures, but an exchange for your 'true heart'!"
"In the past few days, I think Mr. has learned something about me......
"Liuli and I are both suffering people, and it is fate to meet Mr. Therefore, Changge wants to emulate the two of 'Honggong' and 'Xianmeng', and conclude an 'alliance under the tree' with Mr."
"This 'clear fruit' is the vow of the long song, if you are willing, please eat this fruit to complete the 'conclusion'. ”
......
"The Alliance Under the Tree" is an allusion to the Star of Severis, and Zhou Yang has heard her tell it.
The approximate story is: In ancient times of Savis, there were two people with lofty ideals, one was called 'Honggong' and the other was called 'Xianmeng'. One day they met by chance under a tree, and after a conversation, they were impressed by each other's talents, so they formed an alliance under the tree and agreed to do something big.
Since then, the two have supported each other, overcome difficulties together, and eventually become the founding generals of a country. Their 'alliance under the tree' has also become a good story in the history of Sevis.
Zhou Yang never expected that the alien goddess in front of him would form an alliance with him.
After steasing his mind, he said, "I'm glad that you can treat me as a friend." But in all fairness, I'm not the best person for your alliance, and I don't know what you like about me, and I can't help you with a lot of things other than to provide you with a place to live. ”
"There are many people in this world who are better than me......"
"Sir, sir!"
Changge interrupted with a wave of his sleeves, and his eyebrows flashed golden: "In the past few days, I have asked Liuli to test Mr. many times, and Mr. always treats him with leniency, which is enough as a reason for Changge to form an alliance." If the gentleman cares about the physical qualifications, in fact, he does not need to. ”
"My natal divine tree is now stable, and it will not be difficult to help Mr. out of the mortal womb of the flesh in the future. ”
"Don't hide it, sir, 'Tongming Fruit' is both a elixir and a poison. After you eat it, it will be parasitic in your brain forever, and I know if you have any bad intentions, no matter how high your cultivation is in the future, as long as I have a thought, it will make your soul disappear. ”
"If you treat me sincerely, then it will be your life-saving elixir, and it will keep your soul alive in times of crisis. Back then, Liuli ate the fruit of Tongming to preserve the true spirit and came to the earth with me. ”
"The words have come to this, whether you eat or not is up to Mr. ”
......
Looking at each other, Zhou Yang fell into thought.
Before meeting Changge, he had been free and loose and did not have much ambition, and his mother said that he inherited this character from his father.
But their appearance had a great impact on his worldview, and Zhou Yang didn't expect Changge to value himself so much.
He knows very well that eating this 'Tongming Fruit' means that his future will develop in a completely different way.
"I'm willing to help you, but there are some questions. ”
Changge understood what he was going to ask, "You want to ask, what are the benefits of forming an alliance with me, right?"
Zhou Yang looked at Tong Mingguo and said: "If I eat it, it will be equivalent to changing my own fate, and I don't know what danger I will encounter in the future, and even involve you in it." So I'm wondering, what's your plan for the future?"
Changge appreciated: "I really didn't see the wrong person." The main thing at the moment is to help you get reborn. Although you don't have the conditions for cultivation, your soul is complete, and you have been washed by my 'Ten Thousand Wonderful Sounds', which is no longer comparable to ordinary people. ”
"I suggest that you cultivate your soul first, and then your physical body!"
"In addition to the effect of warming the soul and expanding the sea of knowledge, the 'Tongming Fruit' can also temporarily increase your spiritual power and raise it to 'Divine Thought'. In the past two days, I will help repair the Peizhu as soon as possible, and then when I accumulate enough spiritual energy, I will produce some small spiritual fruits to help you dredge your qi veins and wash your body. ”
"As for the spiritual root you are missing, I also have a way to help you make up for it. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yang smiled and said, "In this way, didn't I meet a god teammate? That's right, only if I develop first, can I give you more help." I'm afraid you won't be able to take me. ”
"That's up to you. Changge said: "As long as you are determined, I can move even a mountain." ”
"I'm stressed. Saying that, Zhou Yang picked off the Tongming fruit and asked, "How do you take this fruit?"
