Chapter 17: The Book of Words
When Bai Che thought of this, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, if it was true, wouldn't it mean that he could return to the original world?
Seeing Bai Che's strange appearance, Qing'er looked suspicious and asked, "Bai Che, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Oh, it's fine." Bai Che came back to his senses and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Zidong Secret Realm to have a look and see if there are any treasures." As he spoke, Bai Che's eyes were full of light.
"Phew, love money like life." Qing'er said softly: "You love money so much, beware of dying in it sooner or later." ”
"How do you speak?" Bai Che's face darkened, and he said: "You don't understand, the life of the poor is not easy, have you ever experienced three months without food and water to drink?" That tastes ......."
"Haven't eaten or drunk for three months?" Qing'er was taken aback and said, "Impossible!" Have you experienced it? ”
"That's not the case." Bai Che shook his head and said, "I haven't eaten or drunk for three months, the ghosts are hungry and thin, you see that I am so wise and martial, how can I look like I have been hungry for three months." ”
"And you still ask?" Qing'er glanced at Bai Che, what else is there to be wise and powerful, graceful, do you see you touching?
"It's because I haven't experienced it." Bai Che was right.
Qing'er: ......
"No, no, this bastard is deliberately angry with me, he will definitely fight with me." Qing'er said to herself, "I can't be angry, I can't be angry." ”
The two finally stopped bickering, and flew towards the Zidong Secret Realm with a flying magic weapon.
A moment later, the two of them boarded the Zidong Secret Realm, and in an instant, a purple qi enveloped their bodies.
The two of them passed through the barrier and entered the secret realm of Zidong, which was said to be a secret realm, but in fact it looked more like a Taoist temple.
The Taoist temple is dilapidated, as if it has been abandoned for thousands of years, and there are cobwebs hanging everywhere, and the floor is made of bluestone slabs, accumulating a very thick layer of dust, leaving a footprint when stepping on it.
Except for a few towering giant trees in the Taoist temple, there is no life.
In the center of the Taoist temple, there is a bluestone statue of an old man riding a green ox and heading west.
"Is it really Lao Tzu?" When Bai Che saw the statue, his heart moved, he ran quickly to the statue, he looked at the old man and the green cow, for some reason there was an inexplicable familiarity in his heart, and even an urge to cry.
"Perhaps, it's because we're from the same place, which makes each other's thoughts resonate." Bai Che muttered to himself.
"If Lao Tzu really became an immortal in the end, then he would definitely leave some exercises, such as works like the Tao Te Ching." Thinking of this, Bai Che's eyes flashed.
Seeing Bai Che's expression, Qing'er looked suspicious and said, "Bai Che, what did you find?" ”
"Look, this must be the powerhouse, right?" Bai Che pointed to the statue and said, "If he is really powerful, this should be the dojo he used to be, maybe there will be something left." ”
"I can't say anything about this." Qing'er shook her head and said, "Although the Zidong Secret Realm has rarely been discovered, it is not unprecedented, that great power went west thousands of years ago, so I don't know if there are any things left by his old man." ”
Hearing this, Bai Che's heart seemed to fall to a low point, and after thinking for a while, he said: "No matter if there is anything left, take a look around first, and look at his old man's former demeanor." ”
"Okay." It was rare to see Bai Che's serious appearance, and Qing'er nodded unconsciously.
I saw Bai Che walking slowly, rubbing the statues and walls, sometimes sighing, sometimes sighing, he looked like he was revisiting the old place, nostalgic for the past. This makes Qing'er even more weird.
Unconsciously, the two of them came to a large hall, and a few big characters on the hall shocked Bai Che's heart: "Bajing Palace ......"
"Do you recognize these symbols?" Qing'er looked at Bai Che in surprise.
Bai Che nodded and did not answer, but the look in his eyes showed that he was not lying.
"How did you come to know these symbols?" Qing'er opened her mouth, and then felt that the questioning was not good, so she immediately changed her words: "Bai Che, what is your origin?" ”
Bai Che just smiled, didn't answer, paused, Bai Che just pushed the door open, and said, "Go in." ”
The inside of the palace is still covered with cobwebs and dust, and there are several statues, but all of them have been destroyed, and the original appearance cannot be seen.
In the center of the main hall is a Tai Chi Bagua figure.
Above the Tai Chi Bagua diagram, there are more than a dozen futons, one of which is empty, and the rest is a person sitting cross-legged, now a corpse, and above, a golden skeleton is sitting.....
Seeing this, Bai Che's heart felt like a storm: Isn't this the dojo he saw in the bronze pot before?
Bai Che suppressed his shock and slowly stepped forward.
"Ahh When Qing'er saw this scene, she was scared and said, "Bai Che, don't come forward, it's so scary here, shall we go out?" ”
Hearing this, Bai Che smiled and said, "You stand here and don't move, I'll go back when I go." ”
couldn't resist Bai Che, Qing'er had to let Bai Che go, and he looked around with a twelve-point spirit.
Bai Che walked to the side of the futon, and a sad emotion instantly welled up in his heart.
Suddenly, a white light flashed in front of Bai Che's eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he was standing on a mountain peak, the mountain peak was shrouded in clouds and mist, and when he looked up, he could see the starry sky, and countless stars were shining brightly.
An old man with gray hair was looking at him with a smile, and he was shocked, but he didn't feel his malice.
"Kid, you're finally here?" The old man smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
"Ahh Bai Che was taken aback, and immediately asked, "Are you Senior Li?" ”
The old man shook his head and said, "My surname is Zhang." ”
"Zhang?" Bai Che looked suspicious.
Seeing this, the old man smiled and said, "Zhang Daoling." ”
"Huh?" Bai Che suddenly realized that the old man in front of him was the famous Zhang Daoling.
"It turned out to be Zhang Tianshi, Senior Zhang." Bai Che clenched his fists, "I just thought you were ......"
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Daoling waved his hand and said, "Many people who strayed into this place will think so. ”
Hearing this, Bai Che nodded, and then asked, "Senior Zhang, what do you mean when you just said that you were waiting for me?" ”
Zhang Daoling smiled and said, "You and I are destined for fate." ”
"Fate?" White through the clouds.
"Master and apprentice." Zhang Daoling explained.
"Please also ask Senior Zhang to solve your doubts." Bai Che said.
"Everything in the world has cause and effect, if you don't have cause and effect, no matter how many reincarnations you go through, you just need to remember that you and I have a fate, I will teach you the way of the Tao, and send you a chance."
"When you ought to understand, you will understand, do you know?" Zhang Daoling asked.
"Yes." Bai Che nodded, "Disciple Bai Che has seen the master. ”
"False courtesy will be waived." Zhang Daoling smiled and said, "Child, I will teach you as a teacher." ”
After saying that, Zhang Daoling waved his hand, and a fragment of a page appeared, with a faint flash of thunder on it.
"This is the 'Thunder Control Heart Technique', which is the exercise method I created, as the name suggests, it is an exercise for my own use to control the thunder, and the most important thing is that there is no need to gather the crystal sea and gather the spirit crystal."
Hearing this, Bai Che asked in surprise, "Master, are you saying that you don't need to gather the crystal sea and condense the spirit crystal?" Bai Che paused and said, "Don't you have Jinghai, Master?" ”
Zhang Daoling smiled and said, "Not only you and me, but everyone who comes from over there can't gather the crystal sea and gather spirit crystals. The laws we encounter are different and the rules are different, so what is here may not be suitable for us, so I created this 'Thunder Mind Technique' to adapt to ourselves. ”
"I understand." Bai Che nodded, and asked again, "Master, if there is no crystal sea, how can we enter the middle realm?" ”
"This involves the opportunity of being the teacher." Zhang Daoling smiled and casually summoned out a page, which shimmered with golden light and looked extremely extraordinary.
"This is the Tao Sutra, and you must have the answer in your heart, it was he who left it. With it, you can cover this heavenly machine and open up a new path for you, and use it as a guide to break through the shackles. ”
"But as I said, everything in the world has cause and effect, and one of the costs of covering the heavens is the horror of the thunder tribulation, but there is the 'thunder control method', so don't worry too much, the second price is the slow speed of cultivation, the spiritual power you need is several times or even ten times that of the current one, and your cultivation path will be more difficult than ordinary people."
"Therefore, you also need to temper your physical body so that you will not be killed by high cultivation." Zhang Daoling continued, "Do you know? ”
Bai Che nodded, and asked again: "Master, I heard that there is an ancestral road, I wonder if I can go down?" ”
"It's almost a dead end." Zhang Daoling replied: "But it's not that no one has succeeded, but today's environment, which can be said to be the road to death, is afraid that it will be lost at the end of it, and finally dissipate in that boundless abyss." ”
Hearing this, Bai Che's eyes were full of caution.
"But ......" Zhang Daoling changed his words and said: "If you can ensure that you control yourself at the last step, it is also a road that can be walked, you can learn from it, you can combine the road of the Tao Jing with the ancestral road to open up a new road." ”
"If you follow the ancestral path, you can also cast the spells here." Zhang Daoling smiled, "So, you can choose for yourself." ”
"Disciple understands." Bai Che replied.
Zhang Daoling nodded, and pointed to the rest of the people sitting on the futon: "Apprentice, these are your senior brothers, and now they are all giants, if there is a danger, you can go to find your senior brothers, this is the third gift left for your teacher." ”
"This futon, practicing on it, has the effect of purifying the mind, it can help you practice, this is the fourth gift." Zhang Daoling added.
"Okay, apprentice, the teaching for the teacher is over, and then, it's up to you." Zhang Daoling smiled, feeling very tired.
"Disciples remember the grace of the teacher's inheritance of the inheritance." Bai Che knelt and kowtowed a few times.
"Okay." Zhang Daoling nodded and said, "Apprentice, as a teacher, I can only wish you good luck all the way." ”
"Master, are you leaving?" Hearing this, Bai Che asked.
"Fool, I am just a spirit body left over thousands of years ago, and now that I have borne fruit with you, it will naturally dissipate."
"Yes, Master." Bai Che was a little lonely.
"Fool, we'll see you again." Zhang Daoling spoke, "It's time......"
Zhang Daoling slowly dissipated, as if turning into a sky full of stars, and flew into the starry sky.
"Apprentice, send off the master." Bai Che shouted loudly into the starry sky.
