Chapter Eighty-Five: The Innate Spiritual Root The Covenant of Ib
Zhong Shenxiu smiled, waved away the faint pity, put away the gangyun, and the dazzling edge disappeared in an instant, but suddenly waved his hand into the air and saluted, "Isn't the real person still showing up?" ”
Xu Zhuang saw a finch flying down from nowhere in the sky, with two wings fanning rapidly, hovering in the air, with a small beak, but there was a broken gong sound, and he laughed and said: "Zhong boy, when did you see through the Taoist master hiding aside to watch the play?" ”
Xu Zhuang was slightly surprised, but a not unfamiliar image emerged in his heart: lack of morality?
Zhong Shenxiu said: "The juniors are just guessing. ”
The finch snorted, but said, "Two boys, how about going to Dao Ye for a cup of tea?" ”
Zhong Shenxiu responded: "The first invitation of the real person should be Xu Daoyou, the younger generation has gained a little from discussing the Tao with Xu Daoyou today, and it happens to be refined into a yuanying, but when he returns to the sect to practice and consolidate his cultivation, he will not bother the real person." ”
Que Er shouted: "Boy Zhong, don't give Dao Ye face, get out of here." ”
Zhong Shenxiu smiled slightly, nodded to Xu Zhuang, and then his body moved, turning into a purple light and rushing to the sky, and he disappeared into the clouds and disappeared.
The finch chirped as if she scolded twice, and then said to Xu Zhuang: "Xu boy, do you want to come to drink tea?" ”
Xu Zhuang sighed for a while, then raised his sleeves and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and the kid will go to the real person to ask for a cup of fairy tea." ”
The finch chirped twice, flapped its wings and flew into the clouds, and Xu Zhuang immediately set up a retreat to follow.
The finch didn't know if it was because of the Yuan Shen True Humane Method, or what kind of alien species, and flew for several miles in a moment, falling to a peak.
Xu Zhuang then pressed the light, through the clouds and fog, but saw that there was no footprints of the top of the forest mountain, out of thin air there was a single eaves pavilion, one of which was a dolomite table and chair, a set of tea sets, and the two were drinking tea in the pavilion.
One of them, with an old-fashioned face, a one-foot-high crown on his head, a dusty rod in his hand, sat upright, looking like a high road, while the other person had gray hair, ragged clothes, sat without sitting, and still held a cigarette that Xu Zhuang felt very strange in his mouth, which was the lack of morality that Xu Zhuang had seen.
Xu Zhuang fell to the top of the peak, stepped into the pavilion, and bowed his hand: "I've seen a real person." ”
The lack of virtue snorted, pointed to the table and chair, and said, "Sit down!" ”
Xu Zhuang straightened his robe, sat down, and listened to the introduction of the Taoist who lacked virtue: "This is the fellow senior brother of the Taoist master, a Taoist who accumulates virtue." ”
Jide Daoist shook off the dust, and a faint smile appeared on his old-fashioned face, and he nodded towards Xu Zhuang.
It's another Genshin real person.
Xu Zhuang was taken aback, didn't dare to slack off, returned the salute, and then asked, "I don't know if the real person called me here, but what are the orders?" ”
The lack of virtue Taoist snorted and said, "Didn't you say that you were invited to drink tea?" The finch flew through the air, took the teapot on the stove, poured it into an empty cup, and pushed it in front of Xu Zhuang.
Xu Zhuang raised his eyebrows, lowered his gaze, and saw a cup of tea, as if he couldn't see anything unusual, and didn't think much about it, he picked up the teacup with both hands and drank it, and suddenly felt a refreshing coldness from his throat, instantly filled his body, his face was white, and between his eyebrows, there was a lot of frost, and the whole person seemed to be stiff, and he couldn't move.
The Lack of Virtue Daoist laughed and said, "Senior brother, how long do you think Xu Kid can dissolve the Ice Pole Yuan Essence?" ”
Jide Daoist is saying: "Ordinary Jindan Dacheng monk, if you want to dissolve this cup of Ice Pole Yuan Essence, it will take at least a year, although this son has profound merits, I think it will be about a month." ”
The lack of virtue said: "Zhong Xiaozi only used twenty-one days, but Xu Xiaozi won Zhong Xiaozi's move." ”
"The fighting method is changing rapidly, and if you start all over again, the outcome is still unknown." Ji Dedao said: "Besides, this is a test of merit, what does it have to do with fighting the law." ”
Lack of morality and humanity: "It seems that the senior brother still likes Zhong Boy more." ”
Jide said: "Yes, it's better to give Zhong Shenxiu to me." ”
The Lack of Virtue Daoist swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog for a while, but suddenly said: "Senior brother, give me the five qi and Yingdou, and I will give Zhong Xiaozi to you." ”
At this time, the Jide Daoist was a little surprised and asked, "Really?" Senior brother is so optimistic about Xu Zhuang? ”
The lack of virtue and the Taoist smiled: "I think that Xu Xiaozi's foundation may not be worse than Zhong Xiaozi, and I am afraid it will not take twenty-one days to dissolve the Ice Pole Yuan Essence." ”
Jide Daoist said: "Even so, Zhong Shenxiu has already refined into a Yuanying first, and then it is the time to advance by leaps and bounds, but I am not optimistic that Xu Zhuang will be able to catch up." ”
The Lack of Virtue Daoist rolled his eyes and shouted, "Do you want it?" ”
Jide Daoist hurriedly said: "If you want it, why don't you want it, then it's decided." Xu was afraid that the person who lacked virtue would regret it, so when he took out something from his sleeve and handed it to the person who lacked virtue, his face showed a slight pain.
Seeing him like this, the Daoist who lacked virtue showed a mouthful of messy teeth, and said with a smile: "What, if the senior brother is in pain, it is still too late to take it back at this time." ”
Jide Daoist snorted and responded: "Take it!" Is the mere five qi and the Ying Dou comparable to the innate spiritual root and one fruit? ”
Hearing this, the Daoist who lacked virtue immediately put the five qi in his sleeve and shook his head, "I advise my senior brother not to be happy too early, if I and Xu Xiaozi win the first prize...... Hehe, my brother's face must have been very wonderful at that time. ”
The old-fashioned Taoist couldn't get used to his appearance of taking advantage and squeezing his eyebrows, so he immediately closed his eyes and said nothing.
The lack of virtue and Taoism people didn't care, took out a palm-sized booklet, and leisurely swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, while reading the Taoist book.
The sun and the moon alternated, and the time of the short ten days seemed to be fleeting in the blink of an eye for the Yuan Shen Zhenren, and soon after the fifteenth day, the Jide Daoist suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
But I saw that Xu Zhuang's skin began to appear bloody, and the heat suddenly rose on the top, and the frost between the eyebrows began to slowly melt.
The man who lacked virtue did not move his gaze, still turning the book in his palm, as if he could read it attentively, and he just inhaled in his mouth, but no smoke came out for several days.
After another three days like this, the heat on the top of Xu Zhuang was endless, and finally the frost was completely melted, and suddenly he opened his eyes, only to feel that the mana in his body was a little lighter, and the inner spirit was even more pure and transparent, and the progress of the combination of god and qi faintly increased a lot.
Xu Zhuang let out a sigh and arched his hand: "Xie Zhenren Immortal Tea, the younger generation has benefited a lot." ”
The lack of virtue Taoist waved his hand, but said: "I just said that I invited your kid to have a cup of tea, so you don't have to be polite." Then he pushed another cup of tea.
Xu Zhuang smiled slightly, and was not polite, and drank the tea, but this time he only felt that the cold was passing away in his throat, and he didn't have many magical effects.
The two real people didn't speak, Xu Zhuang was not in a hurry, quietly accompanied the two to drink tea, and after a while, the Taoist suddenly asked: "Xiaoyou wants to count a hexagram?" ”
Xu Zhuang didn't expect that the people of Jide Dao came out with such words, and said in a daze: "Fortune telling? ”
Jide Dao said: "Yes, the poor road suddenly came to the interest, if the little friend is interested, the hexagram will collect you a magic money." ”
Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment, but refused: "Xie Zhenren is kind, but the younger generation is not a hexagram." ”
The lack of virtue and morality said: "Oh? Boy, do you know how many favors and how much money ordinary people need to find and how much money they spend when they ask my senior brother for a hexagram? ”
Xu Zhuang said: "The younger generation doesn't know, but the younger generation doesn't have the habit of telling hexagrams." ”
Jide Daoist was surprised: "Could it be that Xiaoyou doesn't believe in fate? ”
Xu Zhuang smiled and said: "Dare to ask the real person, is there a definite number of lives?" ”
Ji Dedao said: "The number of lives is uncertain. ”
Xu Zhuang said: "Since the fate is uncertain, the future is enough to hold it in your own hands." ”
Jide Daoist said lightly: "Although the number of lives is uncertain, you can get a glimpse of the vein, and you may be able to find the direction you want by using it." ”
Xu Zhuang just shook his head.
Jide Daoist was not annoyed, seemed to think for a moment, and then took out a bucket of green bamboo sticks from his sleeve, in which twenty-five bamboo sticks were inserted, shook it slightly, and asked, "Then Xiaoyou wants to calculate the luck?" ”
Seeing that the people of Jide Dao were repeatedly invited, Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment, and was quite interested in the matter of Yundao, but decided to accept it, so he arched his hand and responded: "Then it will bother the real person." ”
"Don't bother." Jide Dao showed a faint smile on his face, handed over the lottery holder and said, "You need to do it yourself...... Feel free to do it. ”
Xu Zhuang nodded, took the stick holder with both hands, shook it lightly, and a stick fell out of the tube, falling on the stone table, Jide Daoist took the bamboo stick and looked at it, squinted his eyes, stroked his beard and said: "Little friends are in full swing, and the fortune is profound, congratulations." ”
After a pause, he said again: "But I, a member of the Xuanmen, have always talked about blessings and misfortunes, and if the fortune is too heavy, it may not be considered good, and disasters may come to a blessing due to misfortune...... Xiaoyou still needs to be cautious about every choice. ”
Xu Zhuang thoughtfully, nodded, and responded: "The younger generation has been taught." ”
Jide Daoist waved his hand and said, "It's just a sign." ”
The lack of virtue and the Taoist said leisurely: "If you want to find a senior brother to unsign, it is also expensive......"
Xu Zhuang frowned slightly, and asked, "I don't know how much money is signed by real people?" ”
Jide Dao said: "This is not necessary, it should be done by the poor Tao." ”
Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment, but said, "I don't know if the real person has anything important to tell the juniors?" ”
I can't help him not think about it, he and Jide Dao people are still the first time to meet, and Jide Dao people have repeatedly invited, but they are not really interested, and they have to guide him Xu Zhuang?
Unexpectedly, the Daoist shook his head when he heard the words, and drank the tea, but the Daoist who lacked virtue haha: "Originally, he had something to find you, but now I am the Taoist master." ”
He let out a long spit and said in a deep voice: "Dao Ye, I can't pull down my son, so I told you kid directly, Dao Ye has one thing I want to cooperate with you." ”
Xu Zhuang's face was solemn, and he said slowly: "If you are a real person, please tell me, the younger generation will be considerate." But he didn't say anything to let him be told, even if he was a real person, it was impossible to force him to do something he didn't want to do, if that was the case, the name of Taisu Authentic Sect must not be vegetarian.
Lack of morality: "But this matter has to start with a story......
But it is said that tens of thousands of years ago, between the stars near the left, there were two Yuan Shen real people, Yi Dao people and Bu Dao people, who were opponents who hated each other, and who were Taoist friends who cherished each other.
If you want to say why this is so, but because the two of them are both proficient in mathematics, and they are of similar level and reputation, so one day, the two agreed to fight each other.
Yi Dao people, Bu Dao people are all masters of mathematics, since the number of high and low, but the comparison is to measure the 'chance' of the number of techniques, the two from the same place, separate to find their own calculation of the chance, and then compare whose 'chance' is higher.
It's strange to say that the two set out from the same place and went separately to find it, but in the end, they were in the same place, bumped into the same opportunity, and the two actually worked together to find an innate spiritual root.
Speaking of which, Xu Zhuang has already shown a different color, what is the innate spiritual root? As the name suggests, it was born before the opening of the world, and it was a treasure of creation.
Generally speaking, whether it is the solidity of the innate spiritual root, or the innate spiritual root body, or it has infinite benefits in cultivation, or it is comparable to the best magic weapon materials, or even carries the innate treasure forbidden, it is born with the body of the magic weapon......
All in all, the Innate Spiritual Root is a treasure that can be encountered but not sought after by cultivators.
The Lacking Virtue Daoist continued: "But it is said that the spiritual root is a fruit tree, which blooms once in 1,200 years, bears fruit every 1,200 years, and matures in another 1,200 years, so that every 3,600 years can only get 12 fruits. ”
"In the past, when the Yi Dao people and the Bu Dao people found this tree, this tree only bore fruit, and it was not yet time to enjoy it, but the two of them couldn't wait to understand who owned this innate spiritual root?"
"So the two of them started a dozen battles, counting the chance, fortune, calamity, the victory or defeat of the Immortal Sect, the national fortune of the mortal dynasty, and the red dust disaster......"
"But no matter what, the two have never decided the winner, but it's not that the two of them are really the same, but the way of math...... There are a lot of arguments, even if you won the calculation, but I may not be convinced by your efforts, even if I am a little more accurate this time, you also say a lot of crooked arguments......"
"Until the end, the two finally found that only the fighting method is the way to really distinguish between high and low, and no one can argue with it."
"But both of them are self-confident math masters, not to mention that they are admired everywhere on weekdays, and they are also regarded as guests by many Taoist friends.
After thinking about it, the two of them came up with a method, each of them used numerical techniques to find a few geniuses of cultivation, and competed on behalf of them, and whichever side won the fruit of the spiritual root...... However, the loser of this rule did not receive any grains, and the two felt that it was inappropriate, and finally agreed that the winner side would win nine fruits, and the loser side would only get three fruits. ”
Hearing this, Xu Zhuang showed a strange look on his face and asked, "Senior......
The lack of virtue Taoist nodded, and responded: "The innate spiritual root, three thousand six hundred years to produce twelve fruits, Yi Dao people and Bu Dao people, it will be three or six hundred years to fight, and then the two will be the innate spiritual root to the descendants, and the descendants will continue this competition......
"My senior brother and I are in the same vein as Yi Daoren."
Xu Zhuang was silent for a moment, and then responded: "So the real person is looking for me, is he asking me to participate in this fight on my behalf?" ”
The lack of virtue Taoist said lazily: "Dao Ye is too lazy to lie and bluff you, originally I had found Zhong Xiaozi's cooperation in this world, but Zhong Xiaozi is now being asked by my senior brother, so Dao Ye is looking for you again." ”
Xu Zhuang said: "The younger generation has only refined gold and mercury, I'm afraid it is not enough to participate in this kind of fighting?" ”
Lack of morality and morality: "You Dao Yi Patriarch, are you stupid?" They don't go looking for a fellow Yuanshen helper...... It's looking for Yuanying monks, looking for those old things who have practiced for thousands of years, refined a Taoist technique, and become famous in the world, how can they seem to be capable? ”
"Therefore, the helper sought by this competition is to agree that only people who can be found under the age of 300, ordinary people, etc., are refining the high-grade gold pill, and they are still circling gold mercury at the age of 300...... Of course, the person we are carefully looking for is naturally a cultivator genius like Zhong Xiaozi, who far surpasses his peers, so he has a chance of winning. ”
Seeing that Xu Zhuang should not be silent, the lack of virtue and Taoism said: "There are still seventy or eighty years before the time of the competition, isn't it enough for your kid to refine into a yuanying?" ”
Xu Zhuang said: "It seems that the junior has not yet agreed to the invitation of the real person. ”
The Taoist who lacked virtue raised his eyebrows and said, "Boy, are you afraid that the Taoist Master will benefit you less?" If you win this battle, the nine innate spirit fruits, one of which is indispensable for you, is to lose the battle, and the Taoist master will pay you out of his own pocket. ”
Xu Zhuang smiled faintly and said: "This is indeed a great temptation, but the younger generation still focuses on doing a good job of cultivation at the moment, and there are still seventy or eighty years left to go, so let's think about it in the future." ”
Saying this, Xu Zhuang stood up, but said to Ji Dedao: "Isn't the real person teaching the younger generation to be cautious in the face of every choice?" The younger generation was taught. ”
"What?" The Daoist who lacked virtue shouted: "Dao Ye is still waiting for your kid to consider, don't you have any alternative to be Dao Ye?" ”
Xu Zhuang smiled and said: "Since there are candidates for real people, the younger generation can rest assured, and they will not miss the real person's major events." ”
After saying that, he raised his hand and saluted, and said: "The younger generation still has a lot of homework to do, so I won't drink more tea with the real person and say goodbye." Immediately, a rainbow light was pulled up, and he fled to the sky.
The lack of virtue was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "Bad! He took out the Wuqi Heying Pocket from his collar and was about to hand it back to the Jide Daoist, and shouted: "Senior brother, forget this deal, let's return Zhong Xiaozi to me." ”
A gloating smile appeared on the old-fashioned face of the Daoist Jide, and he shook his head again and again, "Senior brother has already taken the Five Qi Heying Pocket, where is there any reason to regret it, it will not work, it will definitely not be." ”
