Beiguang continued: "A person must have at least one set of five spirit beads in his life, if the five spirit beads leave the body, it will have no effect in a short time, and the ability granted by the five spirit beads will disappear after a long time. If you accidentally lose the beads, just replace them in a short time, and it will not affect you in any way. After all, the five spirits are the ones who stimulate the original abilities of their bodies. There is only one situation where you can completely leave the five spirit beads, that is, to comprehend your ability to the extreme, one extreme, you can remove one bead, and five extremes, you can remove five beads. ”

"I found some Five Spirit Stones and distributed them to my disciples. After the Wulingmen was on the right track, I went to travel the world. At this time, what I was looking for was not great power, but truth. I want to lift the veil of truth and see what it looks like. But every time, it's a glimpse, and it's hard to catch. ”

Beiguang walked and talked, I don't know how long he walked, a lonely tree appeared in front of him, and six people could hug it. The old branches were twisted and turned, and its untrimmed appearance was somewhat intimidating in the moonlight. A gust of wind blew, like a skeleton dancing. Half of the tree had been eaten by insects, had dried up and died, had been struck by lightning, and the other half had just sprouted, and life had once again worked wonders.

Beiguang said: "Let's take a break here." ”

China lay at the foot of the tree, and Beiguang meditated under the tree.

Beiguang said: "Look at this tree, I don't know that it has lived for thousands of years, and it has been alone here, never stopping to absorb the nutrients of nature. Even if it was almost eaten by a bug, it was still alive and well. It has grown from a seed to the point it is now, through the wind, through the frost, through the moth, through the lightning strike. It's not just it, everything you see spiritually is accompanied by suffering. It can't move, it's ugly, no one wants to approach it, no craftsman wants to make it a pillar. It is precisely because of this that it has become the most tenacious and respectable ...... of life."

China asked, "Will Mingyue Yi too?" I mean, she's going to go through suffering like any other spiritual being. ”

"Yes." Beiguang said: "A person's life comes with crying and goes with silence." They are born to suffer. Suddenly, Beiguang asked, "Do you want to be human?" ”

"People?" China nodded slowly and said, "Maybe I can find my complete self in the world." ”

"What about people? What about wolves? Beiguang asked.

"People can live in warm places, and my people are all in the icy land of the far north. People can eat delicious meals, and we wolves often have to go hungry. There are many interesting things in the world, and the life of a wolf is very boring. Humanity is peaceful, wolves are cruel. To be a man, you don't need to eat your brother. People can give me a new beginning, and I can do a lot of things in the world. Among wolves, they can only eat enough and wait for death. I don't have hands, I can't do more delicate activities. As a demon wolf, I still need to go through thousands of years of cultivation to become stronger, but humans are already hunting me. I can't wait that long, maybe I'll be dead before I get stronger. In the world of wolves, there are no friends who can communicate with me. I have no friends, only subordinates. If I become human and have friends, I won't endure loneliness anymore. China said sincerely.

"It seems that you have thought about this very seriously." Beiguang said: "Do you know that wolves are freer than humans? There are many rules to follow. ”

"To be a wolf you have to follow the rules. I am willing to give up your so-called freedom for the sake of what I want. China said categorically.

"Well, if you want to be human, I can give you a guide. There is a magic cave in the far west, which is different from trials, different from illusions, not ancient tombs, and ruins, it is a special place. In the deepest part of this cave, there is a hidden treasure place where you can find what you need. From today onwards, we will go in the direction of the Demon Cave. ”

"What is it that makes me human? Can you save thousands of years of cultivation? China asked.

Beiguang smiled: "It's up to you to find it yourself." Maybe you can, maybe you can't, it's up to you. If you are hit by it, it is equivalent to putting you in a shackle. If you want to get rid of it, you can't get rid of it, unless it's death. ”

"Death, I am willing. It's better than being a muddy wolf. ”

Beiguang sighed secretly, felt a little sad in his heart, and stopped talking. Then he meditated hard.

Tonight, Beiguang meditates hard and is different from other days.

When China was about to fall asleep, it felt that the essence of heaven and earth in the environment suddenly surged. It was startled and opened its eyes.

I saw that Beiguang's body was colorful, and the essence of heaven and earth was rolling around him. The old tree, after absorbing these essences, was renewed. Where insects and lightning struck, shoots slowly grow.

Not only that, but even the stars and moon in the sky shine even brighter.

Chi Na hurriedly absorbed these essences of heaven and earth, and in just one hour, it only felt that its demonic power had increased a lot, and it was worthy of more than a year of cultivation.

Chi Na was overjoyed in his heart, and saw that Beiguang had received the work, and the essence of heaven and earth was dispersed. Hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

Beiguang said with a smile: "If you practice the Five Spirits, you will know it in the future." It's too early to tell you. Two of my disciples have studied the Five Spirits deeply and have formed a set of theories, and you will have the opportunity to ask them for advice in the future. They are better at teaching their disciples than I do, and if I teach you, I am afraid that I will lead you astray. Seeing that Chi Na was puzzled, Beiguang Zhengse said: "I'm not joking, many of my disciples have lost their souls because they can't cultivate. I'm not a good master. ”

Seeing that Beiguang seemed to have a melancholy look, China didn't ask any more, but had doubts in his heart, thinking that he would find out later.

When the sun rose, they headed west, one by one and one wolf. Beiguang followed behind with a cane, and China ran in front. Whenever he saw a high ground, he quickly ran to it, looked around for a while, howled for a while, and waited for Beiguang to go away before catching up.

They had been walking for more than a month, and today they passed through a village. There was no life in the village, and it was supposed to be lunch time, but none of them lit a smoke. Sensing something strange, China became vigilant and took the lead in opening the way.

In the air, it smells of death. Beiguang knocked on the door of a house, and when no one answered, he pushed the door and entered. The room was very simple, just a bed and two small stools, and there was a bad atmosphere in the room. There was a woman lying on the kang, and a child squatting in the corner, not even wearing shoes. Seeing Beiguang come in, the little girl ran to the edge of the kang and shook her mother.

"Mom is here, and she's a living person."

The woman heard the child's cry, but she couldn't muster up the strength to speak. She was angry, and her chest did not rise or fall, as if she had lost her breath. After a long time, I saw her move slightly.

The child ran to Beiguang and said, "Grandpa, I'm hungry." ”

Beiguang picked her up and gave her half a cake to eat.

Beiguang came to the woman's side, opened her eyelids, and checked her pulse again. Sighing: "It's the plague." He asked the child how long she had been sick. The child shook his head.

Visiting the village, he found that there were sick people in every house, some families even lay together with the living and the dead, and some had been dead for a long time, and the bodies had begun to decompose. The village was sick for all men, women and children, and there were a few people who were not so sick who were taking care of them.

These people had sunken eye sockets, thin and only bones left, and they couldn't breathe when they spoke. When they saw Chyna come in, they gave it a faint look, their eyes empty, and there was no fear. If ordinary people see a snow wolf, they will tremble with fear. Seeing that China had no intention of killing, they were not moved, but just looked at China blankly. As if, it comes and goes just a gust of wind.

China brought the North Light, and the sage explained his identity. As if grasping a life-saving straw, these people threw themselves to the ground excitedly, hugged the saint's legs and cried loudly, releasing all the grievances that had accumulated in their hearts these days. There was also a bit of vitality in his eyes.

The sage asked about the situation.

"As early as a month ago, our people here were dying one after another," they said. By now, everyone here has contracted the disease, and some good people want to take refuge in other villages. But they have all driven us back, and they don't care if we live or die. We fell on our knees and begged them, and our heads were broken, and when they saw that we were not leaving, they shot us with arrows. Let's get out of here, and say don't hurt them too. There is no way, even if people who are not sick, they can only come back and wait for death, and in the end they all contract the plague. We can't get out of this hell. Saint, please, do good deeds to save us. "They knelt on the ground and tried to kowtow, but they didn't have the strength to raise their heads.

The saint lifted them up and comforted, "Don't worry, since I have come, I will not watch you die, and I will surely cure your illness." ”

The saints gathered all the living together, put them under the sun, and let go to heal them. Anna went to burn all the dead and prepared some herbs and quicklime that could be used to disinfect them.

The sage, who was proficient in pharmacology, first brought the disease under control, and told China to find four important materials and tell him where to find them.

The sage added, "I am afraid that this plague did not occur naturally. Someone must have spread it maliciously. This person is likely to be difficult, he appears so frequently, there will be a catastrophe in the world. You have to be more careful along the way, it will become more and more difficult, and it is best to get rid of him when you meet him, and if you can't get rid of it, you have to protect yourself first, and the people here are waiting for you to come back. The plague is under control for the time being, and no one will die in two days, and you will come back in two days. It's a long way to go, so be careful. ”

The four materials, divided into four directions, southeast, northwest, and Chinar must bring them back as soon as possible. It calculates the distance, the closest to the west and the farthest to the north. The distance between the east and the south is about the same.
