Chapter 36: Testing Talent and Discovering Fruit Trees
After lunch, the sound of chanting wooden fish also came from the room where Master Zhilin lived.
The sound echoed in the courtyard like Sanskrit, and those who heard it felt extremely calm.
In Mu Chen's room, Mu Dahai seemed to be a little uneasy and asked, "Chen, do you really think this monk is reliable?" ”
"Dad, don't worry, this master's ability is absolutely good, if he can't cure this evil spirit, then I'm afraid we really have to resign ourselves to fate."
Having said that, Mu Dahai was still a little worried and said: "Chen'er, why don't you go back to Jinhaimen first, I'm afraid that if this evil spirit can't be dealt with, our Mu family will also leave an incense." ”
Mu Chen smiled and comforted: "Dad, I know that you are good for me, but since that evil spirit has recognized our family, he will definitely not let me go easily, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, everyone understands this truth, you go to rest first, and I will talk to that master later." ”
"Well, that's all."
Mu Dahai sighed, turned around and walked out of the room.
After listening to the Buddhist scriptures recited by Master Zhilin for a while, Mu Chen also came to the door of the master's room.
Before Mu Chen could knock on the door, the sound of the wooden fish and chanting stopped abruptly, and the voice of the master came from inside.
"Master Mu, if you have something, please come in and talk about it!"
Mu Chen's eyes lit up, he didn't expect this master's insight to be so strong.
The door opened, and Master Zhilin had already gotten up to greet him.
Mu Chen hugged his fists and said: "The master is really powerful, I was already very careful, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you." ”
"Lord Mu has praised him, please take a seat."
The two of them sat down.
Mu Chen asked, "Master, I don't know anything and want to ask you for advice. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"When we first met, Master, you once said that I had a Confucian spirit in me, but I don't know where I saw it."
Master Zhilin looked Mu Chen up and down, and said: "The poor monk has dealt with Confucian disciples many times, and the qi of the Tao they cultivate is made by converting the energy between heaven and earth into their own aura, and when I first met the donor, I found that you have the same aura as the Confucian disciple, so I have this question, I don't know what kind of internal method you are cultivating. ”
"Master, have you ever heard of the secret of longevity?"
Mu Chen actually hesitated for a moment in his heart, but finally said this, since this person could see his own aura at a glance, then, maybe through him, he could find a similar internal method, so that he could fuse it and then maybe he would get a more advanced internal method.
"The recipe for longevity? Naturally, I have heard that this is one of the most basic internal mantras for Confucian disciples, and almost every Confucian disciple will practice this technique. ”
"What do you say, the longevity formula is the most basic internal method, but isn't cultivating the longevity recipe to increase longevity, this is still the basic internal method?"
Mu Chen's emotions were a little excited, he originally thought that this longevity recipe was already an extremely rare internal method, but he didn't expect that this was the most basic among Confucian disciples, but he was also a little excited, so it seems that Confucian disciples should have a higher internal method.
"Hehe, don't get excited, it seems that the poor monk is not mistaken, you have indeed cultivated the longevity formula, although this longevity recipe is one of the most basic internal methods, it is also the most difficult internal method to cultivate, but I think the donor, your longevity recipe should have been a little small."
"If you don't have talent, you're only cultivating to the second level."
"What? Has it already reached the second floor? Master Zhilin was suddenly shocked and looked at Mu Chen in disbelief.
Mu Chen smiled: "Master, what's wrong with you, it's unsurprising that you have cultivated to the second layer?" ”
Zhilin regained his demeanor and said: "I have a beginner Taoist friend, he is extremely talented, and he has also cultivated the secret of longevity, but he has only reached the first level of the realm, but I didn't expect the donor, you have broken through to the second layer at a young age, it seems that your talent is not weak, if the donor agrees, the poor monk is willing to check the talent for you, I don't know if it is possible?" ”
"Of course you can, but I don't know how to check it?"
"Please spread your right hand."
Mu Chen had long wanted to see what his talent was, and now that he had this opportunity, he was naturally very excited, and immediately spread out his palms.
Then, Master Zhilin took out a palm-sized blue crystal ball from his sleeve robe and placed it on top of Mu Chen's palm.
This crystal ball was cold in the hand, but immediately there was a warm current into Mu Chen's body, Mu Chen felt that this breath was swerving in his body, and then he began to operate the aura to fight against it.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, this is just probing your muscles and bones, and it won't hurt you."
Hearing this, Mu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and took the wisp of aura back into the dantian.
As the heat drifted away, he returned to the blue crystal ball again.
Mu Chen found that the blue crystal ball emitted a little white shimmer.
Master Zhilin did frown, shook his head helplessly, and finally kept saying, "Strange, strange."
"Master, how is my talent?" Mu Chen hurriedly asked.
"Alas, donor, with all due respect, your talent is too low, I'm afraid you will never be able to enter the realm of qi refining, even if you spend your whole life cultivating, the hope of breaking through to the innate realm is very slim."
This...... It's too straightforward.
Probably thinking that what he said was a little too straightforward, Master Zhilin added again: "Don't worry, don't worry, since you have cultivated the longevity formula to the second layer, then your longevity has increased by 100 years, which is much stronger than ordinary people, maybe you can break through the third layer of the longevity recipe if you have the fate." ”
"Thank you for the master's advice, oh yes, the master, I actually admire the Buddhist culture very much, and I met the master today, which is also fate, I don't know if the master can teach some Buddhist martial arts."
Mu Chen yearns for the martial arts cultivation of Buddhism, especially the Yijin Sutra and the Jiuyang Sutra, but he doesn't know if there is one in this world.
"Amitabha, the donor to the heart of the Buddha, the poor monk is also aware of it, but the donor can know that the Buddha, Taoism, Confucianism and Confucianism practice the internal law, but it is completely different, Confucianism cultivates aura, Buddhism cultivates true qi, Taoism cultivates Xuanqi, the three energies are not connected to each other, if you forcibly cultivate and fuse, you will go crazy, and if you are light, your martial arts will be completely wasted, and you will explode and die."
, it's so serious, Mu Chen was taken aback.
"Ah, I see, thank you for your advice."
Mu Chen originally wanted to ask this master about the martial arts of Buddhism, after all, the alchemy technique of Buddhism is very powerful, but now it seems that it is impossible.
Buckle buckle!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Wang Er's voice came from outside the door.
"Hall Master, are you there, I have something important to look for you."
Hearing this, Mu Chen got up and hugged his fists and said, "Master, there are still some things to be solved in the future, so I won't bother the master." ”
"Donor, please."
Master Zhilin folded his hands and sent Mu Chen away, and after Mu Chen walked out of the room, the wooden fish and the chanting senior brother in the room sounded again.
It was Wang Er who was standing at the door, and just before, Mu Chen gave Wang Er an important task.
"How? Did you find it? ”
Mu Chen pulled Wang Er to the side and asked in a low voice.
"Hall Master, you really have a clever plan, in a ruined temple in the western suburbs, we did see a fruit tree that bears red fruits, but the tree is too weird, so we didn't get close, so we came back immediately to report."
Hearing Wang Er say this, Mu Chen's eyes lit up, he had long guessed that the appearance of the bloody handprint had a lot to do with the human-faced red fruit tree, and sure enough, the strange fruit tree was also found near Qingxi Town, and it seemed that he was going to go for a walk.
"Okay, all of you are keeping me at home, not a single fly is allowed to fly in, so I'll go and see."
"Yes, hall master, you have to be careful, that fruit tree is indeed very weird, and we can feel that thing is absorbing my soul from a long distance."
Mu Chen nodded, turned around and walked towards the door.
