Chapter 39: The Spirits of the Earth
"Oh, Yao Lao, are you an earth spirit, or a heavenly spirit?"
The old man smiled: "The old man is naturally a heavenly spirit, or a high-grade heavenly spirit, how can he be an earth spirit with the status of an old man, I am afraid that the kid does not know, no matter which temple he is in, those who have status are heavenly spirits, and earth spirits will only be reduced to gods and the like!"
"Divine servant?"
"Well, just like your vultures, sword servants and the like are also called divine servants!"
"Oh. The boy pursed his lips and was stomped on again.
The old man saw the young man's expression, and his mood was even better, and the old man's eyebrows fluttered and said: "Chen boy, the reason why the heavenly spirit can be named 'heaven' is that it naturally has incomparable innate advantages of the earth spirit, the heavenly spirit is born and powerful, and can accommodate all kinds of violent qi, such as sword qi, fire gas, thunder qi, and edge, these things are fatal to the earth spirit, but they are great complements to the heavenly spirit, there is a way: 'The sword qi is sharp and the true form, and the heavenly fire and thunder quench the spirituality'!"
The more Ram Chen listened, the more unconvinced he became, if he was a heavenly spirit, he would naturally be happy to hear this, but now that he is an earth spirit, when the earth spirit is degraded to nothingness, he is not happy, and the proud young man has long since stopped envying any heavenly spirit.
The young man raised his head and said proudly: "Yao Lao, the earth spirit is the most precious!" There is no reason, he thinks so, his own is the best.
When Yao Lao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the earth spirit is the most precious! Your words remind me of the words of a great monk, there is a great monk from the other side of the endless sea......
"What is the Endless Sea?"
Yao Lao was in high spirits, and was suddenly interrupted, and raised his eyebrows with some displeasure, but seeing the young man's eyes full of curiosity, he smacked his lips and explained: "I have never been to the Endless Sea, and there is such a sentence in the temple's "Sea God Codex" that 'there is a sea in the far southwest, the name is 'endless', the endless sea, the vastness, the spirit birds are difficult to cross, the real people are difficult to live, there are endless evil spirits, it is the sea of sin." The old man doesn't know what the exact situation is. ”
"Since the Endless Sea is so dangerous, how did the great monk survive it?" the young man thought for a moment and asked.
"Who do you ask me? Who do I ask? The great monk himself didn't say it clearly, leaving only a few words in the clouds, what sea of bitterness is boundless, turning back is the shore! What has sunk into the sea of bitterness for decades, and today it has reached the other shore!"
"Oh! I see!" the boy nodded solemnly.
Yao Lao was confused, and asked suspiciously, "Understood, what do you understand?"
The young man replied seriously: "Understood...... You don't know either!" The young man thought for a while and added, "If I ask you what you don't know, you don't have to answer!"
Yao Lao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, he leaned forward suddenly, and roared at the young man: "Who said I don't know, didn't I tell you, the Endless Sea is in the southwest, God told the world that it is very dangerous, the bitter sea that the great monk said is the Endless Sea, and it took him decades to cross the sea!"
"Oh! just say no!" the young man nodded with a smile and praised, such a firepower Yao Lao is the medicine old man he is familiar with!
Seeing the cunning flashing in the young man's eyes, Yao Lao reacted, and was tricked by this stinky boy again, and the old man snorted, indicating that he was very dissatisfied.
The old man paused, put on a shelf, and asked, "Where did we just go?"
"Speaking of the Great Monk!"
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched again, his eyes were closed, out of sight and out of mind, he continued: "This great monk who crossed the sea, named Dalin, is the first master of the world-famous Jinglin Zen Temple, according to his description in the "Shizun Sayings", on the other side of the endless sea, there are many Zen forests, and Zen Taoism and martial arts are prevalent.
"Really?!" The young man showed his eight teeth, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "I know, I know!"
Yao Lao suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the young man's smug smile and smiled evilly, and said: "Really! Of course it's true, I heard that as long as it's a bald head there, it's all revered! Earth spirits have to be shaved bald, think about it, it's all coke, old bald, big bald, little bald!"
The young man's face froze, he glanced at the top of the old man's head, and smiled, "Yao Lao, I think you are more suitable there!"
The old man subconsciously touched his bald scoop and scolded: "Who is the victim of me, a stinky boy with no conscience!"
At this time, the young man did not laugh anymore, he solemnly promised: "Yao Lao, the kid will definitely find a way to cure you." ”
The old man waved his hand, "Forget it, forget it, don't talk about it! I'll tell you what an earth spirit is!"
The young man's expression was shocked, and he immediately straightened his posture, collected his mind, and listened carefully.
"The earth spirit, the image of all things, is divided into: flowers, grass, trees, wood, insects, fish, birds, beasts, people, gods, ghosts, so to speak, all the ground running, swimming in the water, flying in the sky, as long as it is inseparable from the living creatures of the earth, are the image of the earth spirit, the first sentence of the opening sentence of the "Ten Thousand Souls Catalogue" compiled by the Taoist Palace is: 'The heavenly spirits are all in all directions, and the earth spirits are in all directions'. There are many kinds of earth spirits, and it can be said that there are countless kinds, and just one 'bird' contains countless types. ”
"So many kinds!Isn't that more powerful than the Heavenly Spirit!" the boy exclaimed.
The old man scoffed, "What's the use of having many types, just like the spirit of flowers and plants, if it's a strange flower and a different grass, but once it turns into a wild flower and grass, hehe, then be a spirit farmer for a lifetime!
"That'...... That...... Isn't there a great one?"
"Awesome, of course there are, such as turning into dragon spirits, gods, ghost spirits, and human spirits, these are extremely powerful earth spirits, once they are in the product, they are stronger than most heavenly spirits!"
"Really?"
"Really, it's a pity ......"
"What a pity?"
"It's a pity that I didn't have a relationship with you, these are the best earth spirits!, and you ......"
"I'm a low-grade earth spirit!" said the young man, a little disappointed.
Yao Lao smiled and pierced his heart mercilessly: "Inferior!
The young man lost his mind for a while, and then a raging flame ignited under his eyes, and the young man proudly declared: "Whether it is a grass spirit or an insect spirit, as long as it is my ram Chen's, it is the best, unparalleled in the world, if it is not mine, even if he is the spirit of the dragon and phoenix, the innate thunder spirit, I still regard it as grass mustard, no!
The boy thought that his spirit might be grass, so he quickly changed it.
This time it was Yao Lao's turn to lose his mind, his eyes widened and he looked at the confident and energetic young man in front of him, if he didn't know, he would still think that he was the best heavenly spirit.
"Hahahaha!good!good!good!good!The old man likes you like this, flying and domineering, unstoppable, and has no spare eyes!"
The young man smiled embarrassedly and shyly, "Yao Lao, one word is enough, too many people feel underwhelmed!"
