Chapter Twenty-Four: I Don't Know My True Self
Chapter 24: I don't know my true self
"Hey, kid didn't expect you to have this benefit, why didn't I think of it at the beginning!"
The brute bull turned his brain at this time, the "slippery fish" is also a brute beast, and it also has to eat meat, and because of this characteristic that is difficult to capture for thousands of years, it has become a little arrogant and blind, although it contains a strong aura, but it doesn't know how to use it, but today I saw Ling Yu, a little kid in the gray realm, immediately launched an attack, and then everything was so logical.
Ling Yu listened to what the brute bull analyzed for him, his face instantly became gloomy, and the brute bull and they didn't care, but the little girl tomato looked much stronger than him, he was depressed, but at the same time, he was helpless, he couldn't beat the tomato to show that he was stronger than her!
The night came very quickly, the old man looked like a rickety, not a few taels of meat, he actually raised a big tripod with one hand and walked out of the grass house, while walking and smiled and said to everyone, "According to ancient records, the slippery fish must be used nine turns of the big ding, six or more grades of the earth fire slowly boiled for a quarter of an hour, and then add the center of the earth, green spirit fruit, blood vine and a taste of the three grass, and then turn to the three products of the heavenly fire to boil for half an hour, and finally remove the flame, let the residual temperature slowly dissipate, about seventy percent of the heat is best to eat." ”
Ling Yu was dumbfounded when he heard it at the moment, he didn't see that this old man was still a glutton, and he actually memorized the cooking techniques recorded in the ancient books so skillfully, but he was more frightened, what kind of earth heart flower, green spirit fruit, and blood vine, he had never heard of any of them, but just that taste of Sansheng grass was heard from the talk of the members of the Ziyu caravan, and it was known as the ultimate condiment that could be achieved from ancient times to the present, and any dish only needed to drop a drop of "one taste of Sansheng grass" The juice can become an unforgettable delicacy, and because of this, there are not many "three-life grasses" in the whole world, and only a few are planted in the palace of the monarch of the southern capital, which is specially used for tribute and exclusive to the emperor.
There are also the six-grade earth fire, the third-grade heavenly fire, instantly gluing the memory fragments in Ling Yu's mind into two pieces, both of which are almost legendary existences, not to mention the six-grade earth fire, even if there is a non-grade earth fire, it will make many alchemists crazy, and as for the heavenly fire, it is completely a legendary flame.
Of course, what shocked Ling Yu the most was that the nine-turn Da Ding, it was forced to make Ling Yu's memory fragments fly out of five pieces and glue them together, the birth of each spiritual weapon needs to go through countless tempering and quenching, each tempering and quenching is one turn, the higher the number of revolutions, the more powerful the spiritual weapon, the more spiritual energy it can carry, and the stronger the power, and the Great Ding also belongs to the spiritual weapon......
Just when Ling Yu was shocked, the old man had already put the big tripod in the open space, and then raised his hand to make a move, the water in the stream seemed to be pulled by something, and actually entered the big ding with the old man's will, with the light of the yin star, Ling Yu saw the simple and beautiful carving on the big ding, the phoenix danced for nine days, the double dragon played in the water, the tiger roared in the sky, a breeze blew, the flowers and plants on the big ding seemed to come to life, and they were swaying in the breeze, but a closer look found that the big ding was still the big ding, all the carvings were still the original appearance, and Ling Yu suddenly thought of that sentenceThe famous saying "refining five minutes" shows how important engraving is for a refiner.
Then the old man wanted to clean the "slippery fish", but his body stiffened, and then he sat on the ground, and the bull hurriedly ran forward to finish it for him.
"People are old and useless. ”
There seemed to be a starlight flickering in the old man's eyes, but this starlight was dim, at the moment when the old man's body froze, Ling Yu clearly saw that the old man's figure suddenly became illusory, although it recovered instantly, it was enough to make Ling Yu sigh, "This is the transformation of the mind again." ”
Needless to say, Manniu's coveting of "slippery fish" naturally does not need to be said, at this moment he turned into a human form, a reckless man in simple clothes, and knocked the "slippery fish" who had woken up again with a punch, and then turned his palm into a knife and began to understand planing and cleaning.
"Leave the blood behind. The old man looked at the brute bull and let the blood drain, and reminded loudly.
The brute bull nodded silently, but his heart trembled, he vaguely guessed something, a sense of sadness welled up in his heart, but his hand did not stop, and a spiritual energy wrapped the blood flowing from the "slippery fish" under his control.
Ling Yu looked up at the starry sky, and a star pierced the sky, bringing a slight glimmer of light, and then disappeared in a flash.
Tomato's little face was even more red at the moment, looking at the old man carefully, and at this moment the old man was meditating on his knees, seeing the tomato surprised, and the flame villain also looked at the tomato, looked at it carefully, and then looked at the old man, the old man nodded silently.
The villain stood up, jumped forward, and flew towards the tomato, the speed was slow but seemed to have a peculiar charm, Ling Yu was closest to the tomato, only to feel that a flame beast was hidden in the villain, a strong burning sensation burned towards Ling Yu through the air, Ling Yu was frightened, this was just the heat that the villain unconsciously emitted, Ling Yu had already decided in his heart, this must be the earth fire, as for the number of products, he had no ability to distinguish, but from this terrifying feeling, it was definitely not an ordinary thing.
And the tomato didn't think so much about Ling Yu, she didn't even feel a trace of heat when she was simple-minded, she only knew that the villain was very cute, so she stretched out her palm to pick it up, the villain fell in her palm, the tomato smiled slightly, and then a faint ray of fire on the villain's forehead quickly ended on the tomato's forehead, the tomato's delicate body trembled slightly, her eyes fell into a daze, and she looked at the old man at a loss.
The old man looked at the tomato with a smile, and Ling Yu next to him didn't know why, and he was puzzled......
At this moment, the "slippery fish" of the wild cow was also cleaned, and the "slippery fish" the size of a small mountain bag was thrown into the big ding, and in an instant, a green light flashed above the big ding, and Ling Yu actually felt that this big tripod was excited, yes!
"Xiaohuo, come, let's get a slippery fish to eat. The old man waved lightly to the flame villain, and the villain flew up from the palm of the tomato and flew towards the big ding, looking like it was about to start cooking.
At this moment, the child transformed into a mammoth does not run around, does not make trouble, sits quietly next to Dading, and looks at Dading with a longing face, or at the "slippery fish" in Dading......
"Little friend, would you like to hear me tell a story?"
Ling Yu's eyes have also been looking at Da Ding, but at this moment he heard the old man talking to himself, in fact, the doubts in his heart have already accumulated too much, and he really needs someone who can answer them, and this old man is obviously the best object, originally he was going to take the time to ask the bull, but now there is no need to miss the opportunity, Ling Yu can ask after listening to the story.
"Do you want tomatoes to come with you?"
The old man stood up and looked at Tomato, who smiled slightly, and then said timidly, "Okay, old man." ”
This was the first time Ling Yu had heard a tomato speak, it was crisp and crisp, and it sounded very clean.
After the two followed the old man to the grass house, what appeared in front of them was a piece of farmland, but this farmland was different from ordinary farmland, and it was all planted with spirit flowers, spirit grass, and spirit trees, which seemed to be a medicinal field.
But the scale is not large, roughly count the appearance of about twenty or so plants, but none of them here are ordinary goods, each one is full of aura, just like the spirit tree in the center of the entire medicine field that Ling Yu saw, the oval leaves have clear veins, incomparably mysterious, and the leaves are dense, but there is not a leaf with the same veins, each leaf exists on this spirit tree as if it is an independent individual, although Ling Yu does not know it, but this alone is enough to prove that it is extraordinary.
And under this tree, a white child bites his finger in his mouth, looking innocent and cute.
"Fire, didn't you pick the leaves today? I caught a slippery fish today, do you want to try it?" ”
Ling Yu followed the old man into the medicine field, and instantly a strong medicinal fragrance rushed into his mouth and nose, then into the five internal organs, and finally into every corner of the body, as if he could clear all the dirt, Ling Yu took a deep breath, and instantly felt refreshed.
"Old man, you actually caught a slippery fish!"
The figure of the guy called the fire was like a ghost, and before Ling Yu could react, he came to the old man's side, looking at the old man with an incredible face, his eyes were full of innocence.
"Yes, the fire is burning, you can go out and have a look. ”
The old man laughed, then pointed to the front of the grass house proudly, and then, Ling Yu only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and the fire was gone......
Ling Yu was shocked in his heart, if he didn't guess wrong, it should be Tianhuo, he had always thought that all things had spirits, and the human form could be transformed into something that belonged to legends, but recently either he was crazy, or the world was crazy, one after another, Ling Yu felt that his worldview was refreshed so quickly.
The old man came to the tree, and then sat cross-legged, there were two futons in front of the old man, Ling Yu also sat cross-legged on the futon with the gesture of the old man, and for a moment Ling Yu felt that he had no distractions, and his mood was extremely calm.
"In the past, everyone called me a god of destiny, worshipped me, and tried every way to please me, hoping that I could give their children and grandchildren a calculation of what their future achievements would be......"
The old man spoke, his voice vicissitudes of life, with sadness, as if the scene of thousands of years ago was still in front of him.
"At that time, I was young, arrogant, and I didn't want to be bothered by those big families all day long, so I set up a destiny reincarnation array next to my house, which is one of the most proud works in my life, I let out a bold statement, as long as I can pass this formation, I can let me measure his fate, so at that time, the major families all the means were out, and vigorously cultivated their children to break through this destiny reincarnation array, but no one could break through from beginning to end, and I also got a peace. ”
"But tranquility never lasts long, the big family is angry in my heart, they provide me with the resources for cultivation, provide me with everything I need for cultivation, but in the end they only get a do not disturb me, so they think that my Heavenly Destiny Reincarnation Array has no way to break the formation at all, and gave me three days to think, either continue to tell fortunes to my children, or prepare to accept the wrath of the big family......"
At this moment, the man appeared, at the age of twenty-six, he was known as a genius who was difficult to come out of the ages, but he did not have any big forces to back, in order to seek opportunities, he naturally offended a lot of big families, big sects, that day he was hunted down, and the meridians of his body were broken in more than ten places, but he still faced those who besieged him calmly. ”
"In the end, he retreated to my Heavenly Destiny Reincarnation Array, I saw every step of his breaking the formation with my own eyes, and I was deeply impressed by his formation attainments at that time, so I calculated a hexagram for him, it was all darkness, it was bloody darkness, and the whole world fell into darkness. He rushed through the formation and asked me if I wanted to go with him to fight this world, at first he was a little hesitant, because his future was too bloody and terrible, but when I knew that he also studied in fortune-telling, the two of us were like like-minded shafts, and we studied it for three years in a row, and finally it was only interrupted by those big families who broke my formation and broke into the house. ”
"At that time, most of his injuries were healed, and in my communication with him, the way of formation, the study of fortune-telling grew rapidly, and I saw the future earlier than the darkness. At that time, the two of us, facing the masters of ten big families, worked together to lay out the Qiankun Bagua Array, and finally broke through. Since then, we have gone deep into all kinds of dangerous places together to find opportunities, and we all know that the future is dark, so we work harder to change the darkness. So on the way to growth, we met a few guys from the dragon......"
When he said this, the old man smiled, and the next story The old man said that it was the pinnacle of their lives, and no force in the whole world could hold out for three days under their attack, but they were not some killing fanatics, but because they understood the coming of darkness, we began to continue to tell the world about the way of cultivation...... Until the moment when he succeeded in "stepping on the immortal ladder", he was the first among us to become an immortal, only me and he knew in our hearts that darkness was coming, and he found the secret of darkness in the "immortal hall", and he wanted to tell this secret to the whole world...... But after all, it didn't succeed, and was dismembered by a group of immortals in the air, and blood fell like rain. ”
"We thought that when everything was over, the wrath of the immortals also came, they controlled almost the powerhouses of the entire continent to hunt us down, this wilderness was once our base camp, the dragon sacrificed its own flesh and blood to forcibly divide the space, and a few of us escaped the catastrophe......"
Ling Yu was not much shocked in his heart, because he already had a feeling in his dark that the future would be terrifying, and it might be related to the survival of the entire world.
"Cheng Xianyuan, is it true?" Ling Yu asked.
The old man didn't speak, but glanced at Ling Yu, the meaning of which couldn't be clearer, "Okay, a quarter of an hour has arrived, we should go and see the slippery fish." ”
The old man got up, and with a move, four elixirs flew out of the medicine field and came to the old man's hands, which should be the Earth Heart Flower, the Green Spirit Fruit, the Blood Vine and the Blind Sansheng Grass.
"Old man, I don't know if you know a man who is holding a white banner like you, but with the words 'No. 1 in the world' written on it. ”
This question, when Ling Yu saw the old man, he wanted to ask, at this moment he really couldn't hold back, although Ling Yu didn't recognize this person, but subconsciously told him that this person knew everything, and he could understand the truth as long as he found him.
The old man was stunned for a moment, the essence in his eyes flashed, his expression seemed a little excited, and his body trembled slightly, Ling Yu clearly saw that his eyes were about to cry.
"If it's really 'the first in the world', then it should be my master, I have only met him once, his old man has great powers, just a little teaching made me 'know the destiny of heaven'."
Ling Yu was silent, he had only met him once, it seemed that it was not a simple matter to find this person.
"The master said that there is a fate to meet, if you want to find him, he will appear......"
The old man sighed lightly, even after thousands of years, he still clearly remembered the scene when he saw his master when he was six years old......
Ling Yu followed the old man out of the medicine garden and came to the grass house, a special fragrance filled with a rich aura floating in the air, Ling Yu took a deep breath, this effect was actually the same as what he had in the medicine garden.
The old man raised his hand, only to see a bright red flower flying in the old man's hands, slowly turned into crumbs, surprisingly the flowers did not have any juice, it looked like it was extremely dry, the crumbs flew with the wind, and gradually drifted into the big ding, when the crumbs ended into the big ding, the fire in the big ding soared into the sky, this is the powerful flame contained in the center of the earth flower can be comparable to the fire of the earth.
Then there was the green spirit fruit and the blood vine, in the hands of the old man, turned into two drops of liquid, one green and one red, and finally entered the big tripod that was still burning with flames, and finally there was a three-life grass, light blue branches and leaves, crystal clear, it looked as if it was carved with blue crystal, and with the end of the whole branch of the three-life grass, the flame of the earth's centric flower was extinguished.
"Fire, it's your turn to perform. ”
The old man looked at the "fire" with a smile in his eyes.
"Big Fire" stretched out his immature little hand, and with a flick of his fingers, a faint blue flame flew under the big ding.
Ling Yu only felt the hair all over his body when he looked at the blue flame, although he didn't have any temperature, he definitely wouldn't think that he was qualified to touch it.
The old man sat on the ground and looked at Dading quietly.
"Grandpa, I don't know if your master mentioned anything special back then?" Ling Yu still didn't give up.
"He said back then that if I could cultivate to the point where I could change my destiny, I would be able to meet him, but my qualifications were dull, and I ended up falling into the labyrinth of 'knowing the destiny of heaven, but not knowing the true self'. ”
"I don't know ...... true self"
Ling Yu repeated the old man's words once, and then fell into silence, the fragments in his mind were glued together again, a man in a Taoist robe, holding a white flag, wrote "the first in the world", with a crazy look on his face, pointing to a person and saying, "Knowing the destiny of heaven, but not knowing oneself, but trying in vain to hinder the general trend of the world, is only vain after all." ”
Ling Yu still couldn't see his face clearly, everything was very blurry.
