Chapter 8: On the Word

He Yan understood it, this master and apprentice are really interesting, one loses and the other hides, and no one is a fuel-efficient lamp.

Returning the sword to the sheath and putting the long sword on the sandalwood orchid, He Yan was still a little uneasy, crossed his hands, looked at Fang Shuo and said: "Although this sword is good, but we won't be so poor that we will leave it, what else are you hiding there, take it out and take a look, otherwise I will always have no bottom in my heart." ”

"Okay, I'll also take this opportunity to talk to you and settle the routine." Fang Shuo readily agreed, untied the Qiankun bag, propped his arm on the wooden table, and said arrogantly, "Dao Jue, Fu Gong, Dan Shu, Formation Diagram, Sword Sutra, Fist Book, Palm Technique, Transfer, Xuanshu, do you want to learn that?" I also have a lot of stock of Five Elements Stone and Evergreen Grass, which is enough for you. Well, now you have the bottom in your heart. ”

With one hand upside down the Qiankun bag, shaking it a few times, Fang Shuo poured out more than a dozen pieces of gold lacquer jade slips and two large bamboo wooden boxes, "dong dong bang" was a chaotic sound, and a large table was piled up.

"Hey, there are so many, the family has been hollowed out." He Yan's eyes widened when he saw it.

"It's just a small part of it. The house is too small, and there are a lot of big guys that are inconvenient to show, plus some messy sundries, and there are a lot of belongings. Fang Shuo continued to reveal to He Yan.

He Yan picked up a few pieces of jade slips, played with them for a long time, and muttered in a low voice: "Good thing, if you sell it down the mountain, I don't know how much silver you will earn, you are carrying a mountain of gold with you." Although cultivators don't ask for yellow and white things, once they use it, it's really a big deal. ”

"You understand now, if these things are placed on the mountain, isn't that just a hungry wolf guarding the tender fat? The old man had to sell them all. He doesn't care what kind of rules and precepts. If you have wine to drink, he is an old fairy on Xuanyue Mountain, and if you don't drink alcohol, he is a mad dog. has a lot of ability, but he is drunk and dreams all day long, alas, I really don't know whether to be angry or pitiful. Fang Shuo said with his arms crossed.

Hearing Fang Shuo bury himself again, Li Laodao patted the door and shouted, "Hey, you dare to talk about me inside." Shuo boy, I think you better take care of yourself first, old Taoist about me, you know a fart, you don't get involved, shut up for me. ”

He Yan was full of curiosity, carefully checking the jade slip, and he didn't know if he heard Fang Shuo's words. I don't know who carved the jade slip like this, he didn't figure it out after a long time, he couldn't open it, and he didn't know the gold lacquer words on the jade slip.

After the sound of Li Laodao slamming the door hard, He Yan came back to his senses and asked Fang Shuo: "Hey, Lao Fang, I don't understand this thing at all." ”

"You are still a mortal in the flesh, and you don't know the tricks of the immortal sect, of course you can't see the jade jian, or how can you say that the immortal is different. Have you ever heard Li Bai write 'Immortals touch my top and give me immortality'? Fang Shuo replied.

"Hmph, of course I know the poems written by Shixian." He Yan rolled his eyes at Fang Shuo, and suddenly his brain flashed, and he turned his head and was shocked, and said in disbelief, "Could it be that Li Bai is also a cultivator?" ”

Before Fang Shuo could reply, He Yan patted his head and said: "Hey, I'm so stupid, Li Bai is a poet immortal, of course he is a cultivator, otherwise how could he write such amazing verses." ”

"I don't know whether this Li Bai cultivates or not. However, what he said about the immortal touching the top makes sense. If there is no external force, mortal cultivation must be channeled through the meridians by the seniors of the master's sect, and the qi will be transformed into pills. The world is like this, but the methods of each family are slightly different, but everything is the same. Fang Shuo explained.

He Yan stepped forward and grabbed Fang Shuo's sleeve and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, then you hurry up and give me some pulse pills, so that I can practice quickly." ”

"Hey, don't worry, I'm not done yet." Fang Shuo finally broke free, straightened his sleeves and said, "Just now I only talked about cultivation, there are other cultivation methods that I haven't said, you can't listen to me before making a decision." ”

"Is there any other way? Oh, I don't need to introduce what I have done, just follow you and cultivate the Tao, and you will teach me what you are learning. Hurry up and help me practice, I still have to catch up with Miss Mei. He Yan said impatiently.

He Yan was like this, Fang Shuo had to be patient, and said in detail: "You are too late to cultivate the Tao now, whether it is the Xuanmen Secret Technique or the Supreme Immortal Method, the effect is very slow. I don't have any panacea for you, you can't end your life, you just pass the threshold of cultivation and stop moving. The Tao is shallow, and you are only a little stronger than ordinary people, and you are not sick or sick, how can you resist the erosion of time. So, the path of monasticism is not for you, you have to find another way. Besides, what can I teach you, I don't know any of the tricks and techniques recorded on these jade slips. ”

"You don't know any? Old Fang, don't frame me, you are still the big disciple of Xuanyue Mountain, you don't know your own Taoism? That's really unreasonable. He Yan said in surprise.

"I want to learn, but the old man doesn't teach, what can I do." Fang Shuo said helplessly.

"He is a master, you are an apprentice, how can he not teach you. Who are you fooling! He Yan glared at Fang Shuo and shouted.

"You heard it, the old man was scolding me. The words that scolded me are ugly enough, it's a big rebellion, bullying the teacher and destroying the ancestors, what words are used, you don't count it in your heart. You think the old man will be kind enough to teach me. What's the use of holding so many jade slips in your hand. Fang Shuo spread his hands angrily.

He Yan didn't believe it, and asked: "No, you just said that you can understand Yu Jian if you have the know-how of the Immortal Family, why did you change the hexagram again now, Fang Shuo, which sentence of your words is true." ”

Fang Shuo had no choice but to point to the golden lacquer jade slips and argue: "These jade slips have been handed down since ancient times, and they must be used to urge the true qi to manifest so that they can be watched. If you look at the gold lacquer handwriting on it, it is all written in seal script. The small seal is okay, but some scriptures are written in the big seal. Besides, it must have been a long time ago for Master Zu back then, and now it must be obscure, and there are secret secret secret words, so it is really difficult to figure out. Do you think it's easy to practice? If you want to attain immortality, don't say anything else, if you don't know a single big word, even if you have a wonderful heavenly book, it is also a fool's dream. ”

He Yan was frightened when Fang Shuo said. Originally, I thought that as long as I followed Fang Shuo, the path of cultivation would be easy to walk, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome. At this time, He Yan didn't know how to go, not only that, Fang Shuo couldn't help.

Like a frosted eggplant, holding his forehead, He Yan sat paralyzed and shouted: "Oops, I have a headache, it hurts badly." ”

He Yan snorted for a while, and made Li Laodao at the door happy.

Old Immortal Li stretched his waist, changed his position and lay down, and laughed: "Oh, good boy, don't believe the words of the boy Shuo, he is scaring you." If you want to attain immortality, why bother with it, it's simple. Just drink wine, there is everything in this wine, you learn from me, drink it for two or three catties, keep you floating, forgetful, ahhahaha. ”

Fang Shuo sneered when he heard this, and sneered: "Drunken life and dreams of death are just free and easy, you are just a walking corpse."

Li Laodao read disapprovingly: "Hongchen is eventful and dreamy, but it is just a hard walk. ”

"I don't know the sky, I don't know the earth, I don't know people, I don't know myself, this is also considered cultivation?" Fang Shuo didn't give up, and asked again.

After a while, Li Laodao said like a dream: "Why rely on heaven and earth, who cares about the good fortune of others." As soon as he finished speaking, the snoring sounded, and Li Laodao really slept.

He Yan whispered to Fang Shuo and asked, "You two were talking about the Tao just now?" It's a god's talk. ”

"It's just a joke, just talk about it." Fang Shuo said indifferently.

Hey, it's not like a joke, where would He Yan believe Fang Shuo's perfunctory words.

Fang Shuo's temperament, he can be said to know the roots, and he couldn't be clearer. Fang Shuo and him have been friends for many years, and the relationship between the two is not good enough to wear a pair of pants, in terms of the word Iron Party, it is not at all. Although He Yan doesn't know much about cultivation, people are ghosts. After all, he always begged Fang Shuo to do things, and often provoked Fang Shuo to get angry, so naturally he was practicing a body of copper and iron bones. Just one look at his demeanor, he knew that Fang Shuo's posture before was definitely real.

Onlooker Qing, in He Yan's opinion, Li Laodao and Fang Shuo are incompatible on their faces, just one point, but they can fight with each other, just like himself and Fang Shuo, like friends for many years. When I first arrived, it was just the first time I met Li Yanchao, and He Yan was not very clear about Li Laodao's temperament. How can he know what happened before? But after working for a while, watching and listening to it, the relationship between Fang Shuo and Li Laodao could only be understood by him for three points. Anyway, it's not something he should get involved in, so he shouldn't stir it up anymore. He Yan pretended to be confused with understanding, he didn't say anything if he saw through it, he just thought he didn't know, in short, Fang Shuo and Li Laodao knew it in their hearts.

Exhaling a breath of turbidity, Fang Shuo then said to He Yan: "Cultivation is too slow, I think, you might as well cultivate martial arts." The cost is not large, and the results are fast, but it is just a little harder. However, your temper is as stubborn as a cow, and you have already let go of your big words, and now all your thoughts are on cultivation. In order to meet Miss Mei earlier, you will definitely have no complaints. ”

He Yan patted his chest and said proudly: "That's nature, whether it's going up the knife mountain or going down to the sea of fire, I have no complaints, you just let the horse come." ”

"Well, looking at your confident appearance, I believe you will be able to achieve something in a few days. Let's get started now. Fang Shuo praised.

"Hey, old man, can you tell me first, what kind of hardships do you have to endure for martial arts." He Yan's pride passed, and he was a little weak-hearted.

Fang Shuo waved his hand and wrote lightly: "It's nothing more than that you will suffer some hardships when refining your body, you won't be afraid of pain as a big man." To cultivate martial arts, you must first cultivate strength, and of course your physique must be strong enough. Where can the straw pole withstand a thousand pounds? Don't worry, I will point through your blood meridians, supplemented by medicinal stones, two prongs, very simple. ”

"Why does your method sound like a foreign family boxing book and an internal family cheats that are circulating on the rivers and lakes. It's not that I can't trust your old man, it's just that this method sounds a little ordinary. He Yan said with a twist.

How could Fang Shuo not understand what He Yan meant, his body moved forward slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "Don't look down on this method, do you know what martial arts cultivation is called in the eyes of Taoists?" ”

"Is that still there?" He Yan raised his eyebrows and said.

Fang Shuo Zhengse said bluntly: "According to the ancient scrolls, it is recorded that the aura of heaven and earth is absorbed, refined into the Dan, and the water flows for a long time, this is the way of cultivation. Forcibly seizing aura, without moderation, violent and ferocious, like a copper furnace fire, is demon cultivation. The Tao is not as good as a demon, and it becomes a demon against it, and the demon and the demon will be killed together. But the benefits of cultivating demons are too great, and after many years, everyone naturally has a countermeasure. After improving a number of passes, it is called Xiuwu. It's just that even if all sects and factions say that the essence of the two is completely different, it is clear that they have the same goal, so cultivating martial arts is cultivating demons. ”

Fang Shuo's secret of cultivation revealed made He Yan look shocked when he heard it. Before He Yan could ask more, Fang Shuo said again: "I told you earlier, you started too late, and you have to take strong medicine." Cultivating martial arts is just right, the so-called thousand-year-old cultivation, it is better to become a demon overnight. ”
