Chapter 20: Apprenticeship of the Howling Cat
"The King. After watching Sun Wukong and Nameless leave, the rhinoceros spirit covered his aching chest, walked to the side of the beard and said: "Brother Nameless has always been generous, he will definitely come back to see the king when he has time, and please let the king relax." Ahem"
After hearing what the rhinoceros spirit said, Cang Beard immediately turned around, helped the rhinoceros spirit and asked with concern, "Is the virtuous brother okay?"
"Hehe, it's okay, my old cow's life is the same as skin, hard! The rhinoceros spirit smiled, and was also glad for today's escape from death, he was saved by the nameless from the hands of the beard fifteen years ago, and today it is Sun Wukong who came here to kill the demon king of the world because of the nameless in the beard, thinking that he owes the nameless two lives, thinking of this, the rhinoceros spirit said to himself with some relief: "I really don't know how to repay my little brother in this life!"
"Brother Xian?"
"Huh?" the rhinoceros spirit was thinking, and the gray hair on the side looked at him in a daze in the direction of the nameless departure, and couldn't help but smile and scold him: "You still persuade me?
"Ahh
"Come on. Cang Beard said, and took out the demon pill of the demon king of the mixed world that Sun Wukong gave him from his arms: "Brother Xian was really seriously injured this time to save the foolish brother, this demon pill"
"No, no, no!" Before the bearded man finished speaking, the rhinoceros spirit pushed the bearded hand back: "The king's injuries are far more serious than the old cow's! This demon pill king hurriedly went to refine, the old cow has rough skin and thick meat! It's good to go back to recuperate with this injury, but it's you, if you don't go back to the cave to recuperate, I'm afraid it will be more serious!" After speaking, the rhinoceros spirit glanced at the "Ugin Rolling Back Blade" inserted in the soil next to the beard, and said with an embarrassed face: "But that cough cough"
"Brother Xian might as well say it directly, between you and my brother, how can you still talk like this?" Cang Beard looked at the rhinoceros essence with an embarrassed look, a little anxious, the rhinoceros essence has always been loyal and honest, the expression ability is very poor, it is okay to say some big truths with confidence, if you really want him to say something against his will or difficult to speak, he can't say it at all.
"Ahem, well, that's it, that king, look"
"Say!"
"Your 'Thousand Spirits Transformation Finger' is a magic weapon for self-refining, right?"
"Say!"
"Give me this big sword, the king!"
“”
“”
"That's it?" asked the gray-haired man, a little ridiculous.
"Well, that's it!hehe" The rhinoceros spirit finished speaking, reaching out and scratching his head embarrassedly, looking at the gray hair and smirking.
"Brother Xian, even if you don't ask for this knife, I originally planned to give it to you!" After speaking, Cang Fei pulled the rhinoceros essence, turned to face the group of little demons in his cave, and said to him: "Just like what the Monkey King Sun Wukong said just now, brother, in addition to you, is there a second person in this cave who can use it?" ”
When the rhinoceros spirit heard this, Cang Fei really wanted to give it to himself, so he immediately picked up the big knife, put it on his shoulder, forgot the pain on his body, and shouted in Cang Fei's ear with a loud voice: "Xie Dawang!
Cang Hair was defenseless by the rhinoceros essence in his ear screamed, shocked and almost spit out another mouthful of blood, and then looked at the rhinoceros essence with some resentment, and at this time the rhinoceros essence because of this fifteen years ago to yearn for the big knife, a little carried away, standing in the open space and picking it open, Cang Hair shook his head gently, and said with a heartfelt smile: "He can still use it"
"What are you talking about, king?" The jackal demon beside him turned his head to look at the gray hair who was talking to himself, thinking that he had some important orders.
"Nothing. After the bearded man finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the cave, leaving the jackal demon himself in place, and the second monk was puzzled: "I obviously heard the king speak."
Three months later, the Thousand Spirits Flash Wind Tunnel.
The bearded man walked out of the dark cave, the silver armor shone in the sun, the white robe floated behind him wantonly, the left hand was lightly supported on his chest, and the right hand lightly touched the "Thousand Spirits Transformation Finger" like his own life, the white hair on both sides of the sideburns flew in the wind, and the deep eyes were full of domineering and majesty. Outside the entrance of the cave, more than 1,000 little demons stand neatly on both sides, one by one the helmets are bright and bright, the armor is strong, the silver-white flag hunts in the whirring wind, the big flag is written with four big characters "Thousand Spirits Flashing Wind", and in the middle of a big "Cang" word. In front of the demons, there are five big leaders of the bear spirit, the tiger monster, the lion demon, the jackal demon and the whistling lynx, after seeing the gray hair come out, more than a thousand little demons are all prostrate on the ground, and they chant loudly in unison: "Congratulations to the king on getting out!"
For a time, a kind of ambition of "the male soldier is in hand, I have the world!" spread in Cang's heart.
This is the first time since the last battle with the Demon King of the Mixed World, the first time the beard went out, the last time because of the injury was too serious, he had to retreat to recuperate, after three months of long recovery, the beard finally came out intact, and in these three months, more than a thousand little demons in the whole cave, also under the training and training of the five big leaders such as the Howling Lynx, one by one is more physically strong, and some of the talented people have even improved their Taoist cultivation a lot, the Bearded looked at everything in front of him, and his heart recognized the ability of the Howling Lynx.
Late that night, the gray-haired little demon called the whistling mountain cat, which was about to rest, to the inner cave where he practiced.
"In the past three months, have you ever healed from your last injury?" asked the gray-haired man with concern.
"King Xie is worried. The whistling cat bowed deeply, raised his head and said: "The villain didn't suffer any major injuries last time, and after three months of recuperation, it has long been fine, but the king is you, the first recovery from the major injury, and you have to pay more attention to your body!"
"Well, this king has his own measure. After speaking, Cang Fei slowly walked to the Howling Cat, carefully looking at this brother who could really sacrifice his life for himself in the most difficult time, and a trace of warm emotion spread in Cang Hai's heart again.
"How long have you been following this king, Howling Cat?" asked Graybeard retracting his gaze.
"It's been more than seventy years," said the Howling Lynx, and the scene when the bearded man had taken him in came back to mind.
Seventy years ago, the whistling lynx was just an ordinary beast running in the mountains and forests, and every day he cared about nothing more than the word "hunting", trying his best to catch all kinds of prey that could fill his stomach, and at the same time, he was also doubly careful to prevent himself from becoming the prey of other more powerful beasts
In fact, when the howling lynx first met with the bearded man was really frightened, he had never seen such a mighty and domineering leopard, in the world of the animal kingdom, if you really meet a beast whose strength is far greater than yours, then the only choice can only be to run, because leopards are not social animals, they prefer to be alone, hide in the jungle leaves, and give the opponent or prey a fatal blow, but if it is really in the same territory, two leopards of the same sex meet, it can only be you live and die, if the strength of the other party is far better than you, then there are only two results, either the other party directly kills you, or the other party plays you like a monkey for a whileuntil he gets tired of playing and then kills you. But just when the whistling cat wanted to run, he found that his legs did not obey the call at all, as if he was controlled by the other party, the whistling cat thought that he was really finished, but the bearded did not want to kill him directly, but looked at him with interest, and then shook his hands, and opened his mind, and since then he has followed the bearded to embark on the journey of cultivating immortals.
"Yes" Cang Beard looked down at the ground under his feet: "It's been seventy years unconsciously, it's really like an arrow to think about it! At that time, this king had just set up his own mountain gate, and after taking this mountain with great effort, he thought about developing his territory and consolidating his position, so he looked for those birds and beasts with good roots and bones in this mountain without any purpose, and opened his wisdom for it, so that he could worship me as the king, and he also met you by accident. ”
"Huh. The whistling cat smiled faintly: "Why is the king so sentimental? At the beginning, the king set up a new mountain gate, recruiting troops and buying horses is a common thing, not to mention the bones, we are all beasts in the mountains before, running in the valley and forests all the year round, if the bones are not good or injured, I am afraid that they have already died of illness or been eaten by other beasts, and the bones that can survive are naturally good!"
"Hmm" Cang Beard couldn't help but say leisurely after hearing this: "In short, I am still glad to receive a subordinate like you who sacrificed his life for me!"
"What is the king's words? I have been favored by the king and taken me on this path of cultivating immortals to achieve today's cultivation, this life is the king's, why does the king need to do this?"
"Yes, it's fate," Cang Beard said, as if he had finally made a decision on his mind, he sat in the middle of the Taiji Diagram Array, and silently closed his eyes.
"Great King?" Hearing this, the whistling mountain cat couldn't help frowning, he didn't dare to walk into the Taiji diagram of the blue hair without permission, after all, this was the foundation of his king's cultivation, and he couldn't be offended easily, so he stood outside the pattern and said softly to the blue hair: " The king has just come out of the customs today, and after three months of healing, his body is not bad, at this time I have received four or five hundred new demons in the cave, and now it can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong, not to mention that the water curtain cave in the north of the Monkey King Dao Xing is extremely high, and now he has dominated the seventy-two cave demon kings, after the last battle, his friendship with the king can be said to be well known, I want my thousand spirit flash wind cave, now there is no demon king who dares to provoke, why is the king so sighing now?"
"Whistling cat!" "Whistling cat!" The bearded man suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the whistling cat who was startled and stood in place and didn't dare to move, and said: "This king has cultivated a whole body, and so far he has only passed on a nameless person, but he has only learned some fur, and today he has returned to the water curtain cave with Sun Wukong, and there is no one under my sect, today, this king wants to accept you as a disciple and teach you all the cultivation of his life, are you willing?"
In a word, like a thunderbolt falling from the sky, the whistling lynx was pinned to the spot, and this sudden inquiry made the whistling lynx think he was dreaming.
"Huh?" Seeing that the whistling lynx didn't react at all, he was stunned in place without even a trace of expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking, and the last waiting gray hair was a little impatient.
"Ahh
"Hahahaha!" "Cang Shan laughed heartily, the Howling Lynx was already a Scattered Immortal Cultivator at this time, he believed that if he taught his own method, then within a few years, he Howling Lynx would be able to break through the Taiyi Realm, besides, the Whistling Lynx's heartfelt sacrifice of his life was the direct reason why Cang Shan took him as an apprentice.
In this way, the whistling cat all the work of the big boss was assigned to others to do, and since then the whistling cat has been dedicated to practicing with the cang, and the other four big leaders, after learning the news, think more about the guilt of the cang, because at that time almost everyone thought that the cangfu must be dead this time, but in this case, they have always been loyal to the cangfu they were timid, and in the end only the whistling lynx himself really rushed up, so what the whistling cat is doing now, there is no one in the whole cave to say irresponsible things, in everyone's opinion, this is all the whistling cat's life in exchange, and the whistling cats also live up to the expectations of the cangfuIn just one month, his cultivation has improved, in fact, the main reason is that he finally got a good set of methods, plus the positive mood to be able to improve, before he just knew how to absorb the aura of heaven and earth every day, how to really cultivate, like they used to those little demons did not know at all, now finally got the method, he is like a person who has been thirsty for a long time and finally got the clear spring, growing rapidly, and the gray-haired Taiji diagram is really not a decoration, this array can continue to absorb the aura of the entire mountain, for the people in the eyes of the array to practice, so the cultivation of the howling mountain cat can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds, and every time he finishes cultivating out of the hole, The demons outside the cave were all shocked, and even Nameless, who had nothing to do to visit the bearded man, almost didn't recognize him when he suddenly met the whistling cat.
"Brother, you" Nameless was taken aback for a while, and his mouth almost couldn't close: "It's only been a few days, why is my brother's cultivation advancing so by leaps and bounds?"
"What do you mean, Brother Xian?" said with some complaints: "You are going to make fun of me, why do I not know that others don't know that you don't understand?" Howling Cat thought to himself: "Nameless, you are not righteous, how can we brothers have a fateful friendship, when the king accepted me as an apprentice, he said very clearly, you are his first apprentice! You must have practiced the king's method in the Taiji Diagram Array earlier than I knew!
In fact, he didn't know, Nameless had never practiced the method of Cang Hair, and the Tai Chi Diagram Array, he hadn't been to it a few times, this was not Cang Hair's fault, because Nameless was just a little monkey with spiritual wisdom when he came, he didn't have any cultivation at all, and he couldn't directly cultivate the big method, so he could only absorb the aura of heaven and earth first, and then orthodox cultivation after his cultivation reached a certain level, and the reason why the Tai Chi Diagram Array was nameless and infrequent was that the Tai Chi Diagram Array absorbed the aura of the entire mountain, But the whistling mountain cat is different, he already has the cultivation of scattered immortals, and the control of his own aura absorption has long had a certain attainment, even if more spiritual energy enters the body, it will not run around in the body, he will temporarily unable to absorb too much aura, effectively control the circulation between the various veins of the body, and finally be completely refined and stored in the dantian by himself, and at the same time, because he cultivated to the scattered immortals, the cangfu can rest assured that he will pass on his own method to him, and nameless, although nominally the first disciple of the cang, but in essence, the cangfu is actually just teaching him how to introduce qi into the body, which is something that almost every little demon will, just to the current cultivation of the whistling mobcat, he can't appreciate this layer at all.
"What did the eldest brother say?" Nameless suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, and then he looked at the whistling lynx with a blank face and said, "Little brother really doesn't know what my brother meant. ”
The whistling cat looked at Nameless's expression, thinking that Nameless has been with him for more than ten years, and he still knows a lot about this little brother's character, it seems that he really doesn't know what's going on, otherwise, this little brother who is honest and almost can't cheat will not pretend to be with himself, and in this regard, Nameless is a little too honest this monkey.
It's just that the whistling lynx is really incomprehensible, he wants to make it clear to Nameless, but because of the conversation between the two of them, there are already a lot of little demons around him listening at this time, almost all the little demons and Nameless on this mountain have the same idea, that is, why the whistling lynch cat has advanced so rapidly after worshipping the gray hair as a teacher, but with the shrewdness of the whistling cat, ordinary people can't ask why in his mouth at all.
The whistling cat glanced around, and finally had to say stupidly: "Brother Xian, you have come to pay a visit to the king, right? The king is already waiting for you inside, fast forward, fast forward! He misses you very much these days!"
"Yes!" As if he had been beaten in an instant, Nameless jumped up and happily said to the Whistling Cat: "It was my Monkey King who asked me to invite the King to the Water Curtain Cave to eat wine!hahahaha!" Before he finished speaking, Nameless stood on the spot and laughed, and stunned the Whistling Cat.
"Eh, that virtuous brother?" the whistling lynx screamed, cautiously screaming as if he had suddenly lost his mind.
"Huh, ahem, ahem."
The whistling lynx stood in place, his eyes were half-open, and he looked at the guy in front of him who was choking on his laughter because of excessive excitement, shook his head and said, "Why is the virtuous brother so excited?" After speaking, the whistling lynch thought in his heart: "You are so frustrated, did you go out and pick up gold?"
"Ahem" Nameless patted his chest, and after his anger calmed down, he continued: "Brother doesn't know! Last night, my Monkey King himself hit the Yama Palace! Wiped out all my monkey clans! Today! Little brother, I! Monkey clan beings! It can be said that I am immortal! Hahahaha!"
"This is ridiculous!" Howling Cat thought to himself: "How is this possible? Not to mention the thousands of Yin soldiers and ghosts and Shura judges, which of the ten generations of Yama is easy to mess with? Moreover, there is also the Netherworld Holy Lord Jizo King Bodhisattva, with only your own strength, Sun Wukong has forcibly broken into the Yama Palace? and also eliminated the life and death status? This is really a talk of Fang Tian Ye Ye!"
