Chapter 11: The Talent of Cultivation
Room 306, detached building, Fushun District.
"You said that such a strict thing happened in your hometown, how do I think you are leisurely and leisurely every day!"
To be honest, Lin Ziye's actions really made me feel uncomfortable.
Think about it from another perspective, if one day the earth is facing collapse due to the depletion of some kind of energy, as a citizen of the earth, I have the obligation and responsibility to take on the great mission of saving the earth, and the organization chose me as the messenger of the foreign land, which is a trust in me, and I will feel extremely honored because of this, so after arriving in the foreign land, I will continue to find the energy, and return to my hometown to save the people from the dire situation!
Obviously, Lin Ziye doesn't have the same excellent qualities as me.
"Anyway, after the energy is ready, going back to Mu Lingshu will still be the time when I left, and it won't delay ......," Lin Ziye said.
"Forehead ......"
Well, I'm thinking in vain.
"So the question is, when are you going to start your 'energy-seeking journey'?" Now that I know the purpose of her trip, it's easy to do.
"Then it depends on what you mean......" Lin Ziye muttered.
I don't understand, what do you mean?
"My ...... What do you mean?" I wondered.
"You have to think about it clearly, you are a member of the team who wants to help me find energy as my right-hand man, and you are not qualified to have an extraordinary physique!" Lin Ziye said to the point.
I still didn't know what to do, and was about to ask, but she continued: "Actually, even if you don't come to me today, I will go to you in the evening, and your cultivation plan starts tonight" Lin Ziye's eyes flashed smartly.
"Repair...... Cultivation: I haven't eaten dinner yet, so you can tell me this!!"
Lin Ziye's words surprised me, I won't talk about these adjectives for now, I thought that under the pretext that Lin Ziye is the essence of a demon, I would learn a trick or two that humans don't know, Lin Ziye actually said to me 'cultivation' This kind of professional word.
Speaking of cultivation, this is originally a kind of spiritual activity carried out by ancient or foreign people in order to attain enlightenment, to become immortals, to transform demons, to achieve nirvana, to reincarnate and so on, but it has basically been detached from modern society, think about it, what kind of phenomenon is that when a modern person begins to cultivate, isn't it strange?
However, since even the 'things' like Taoist priests and monsters have come out in the city, cultivation or something is very official.
So, which official is Lin Ziye?
"What are you doing, have you thought about it!" Lin Ziye's right hand gave me a burst of shock.
"Eh, it hurts, it hurts......" I rubbed my head dissatisfied.
"Huh?!" Lin Ziye stared at me.
"Okay, refining is refining, it's not the boss you have the final say, let's say, how to refine!" I answered her briskly so that the bursts of chestnuts would not follow.
"Cultivation depends on one's physique, and aura, and aura refers to your talent!" Lin Ziye turned his back to me, not like his usual tone, like a mother who is telling a story to a child under the age of six before going to bed, and I looked at her headways suspiciously.
But she didn't give me a chance, and the more I tried to see it, the more she stood in her way, I just knew that she must have something in her hand.
"Boss, what are you holding in your hand?" I continued to look at with interest.
"No, it's nothing" Lin Ziye tried his best to cover up, but he also revealed flaws.
"Oh, oh, it's a book, come, show me what's written?!" I grabbed her boneless hand.
"Okay, okay, I'll show you!" Lin Ziye couldn't help but let go of the book in his hand, and I hurriedly took it.
"The Book of Human Survival," I read out the title aloud.
This book feels a little old, the title is written in traditional characters, and the language written below the title is a language I don't know, which is probably the language of their 'Mu Lingshu' that Lin Ziye said.
I probably flipped through this book, and the text used in it is all in traditional Chinese and there is a translation with a note on the 'Mu Lingshu' language below, and there are some traditional characters that I don't understand, so I just know that it is probably about our human world as the title says.
I seemed to sense a hint of breath, since this book was published in traditional characters, could it be that there were still humans and demons on the earth who had come into contact with me? I couldn't imagine that there were similar unlucky people before me.
"I said, can you read the traditional Chinese characters of this book?" I was going to find out the information I needed from Lin Ziye's mouth, so I asked her in a different way.
"Is this kind of character called traditional Chinese characters? But I don't know it, I'm just translating it into words that you can understand according to the language of our 'Mu Lingshu' below," Lin Ziye said explanatory.
Yes, why didn't I expect it, my reaction is really slow, Lin Ziye has always used standard Chinese to communicate with me.
"What about you...... How long have you been on Earth, how did you learn our Chinese?" I can't believe that an ignorant, somewhat wooden flower demon could learn a language in such a short time.
Lin Ziye crooked his eyes and said: "After coming to the earth for almost ten days, I know the pronunciation characteristics and word formation methods of your locals, and I understand this very casually!"
Nani?Is that scary?No, to say she's scary is to underestimate her, that's called horror!!
What does it mean to learn a language in more than ten days, this is a satire on the essence of ancient Chinese culture that has lasted for thousands of years!
"What about English, how long will it take you to learn it?" I can't wait to know the answer to this question.
"It's those pinyin-like languages!" Lin Ziye asked me.
After getting my affirmation, Lin Ziye said disapprehantly: "That language has no characteristics, I think it should take less than three days to master it all." ”
I don't think Lin Ziye is talking big, that kind of self-confidence is innate, and after receiving her reply, I sincerely admire the essence of our Chinese culture, Chinese characters.
"Well, trust you!" I nodded.
Unexpectedly, she gave me another burst of hush, and said angrily: "I was telling you about the essence of cultivation, but you changed the topic for me, don't you want to learn!"
"No, no, how can I not want to learn!" I kind of understood the purpose of Lin Ziye not letting me see this book at that time, it turned out that I was afraid that I knew that she was not a competent teacher who could teach people to practice witchcraft, haha, how could I mind, just say it generously!
Slowly, if you think about it this way, I may be her first 'student', so I am a 'test subject'?! I broke out in a cold sweat at a loss, and if I could, I would give up my right to learn witchcraft.
"That's right, bring the book, I want to see what you should do first!" Lin Ziye stretched out his white tender hand as if I begged.
I handed over the "Human World Survival Book" with trembling hands, and said in my heart, I must not die!
"Where are you? I'll take a look...... That's right, that's it, aura, it refers to your talent, you can't do it without talent" Lin Ziye looked at the booklet with a sigh of relief.
The more I look at that book, the more it looks like "The Book of Life and Death", Lin Ziye is like a life-urging judge, holding the book of life and death in his hand and looking at my Yangshou, and then saying the classic sentence "The king of Hades wants you to die in the third watch, who dares to keep you to the fifth watch".
I can't die, I still have to marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby!
"Boss, this talent, I know myself, I'm so stupid that I can't learn anything, no matter how simple things are, people will be able to do it in a few days, I have to study for several years, it really can't be cured by medicine!
"I know you're stupid, but who made you and me have a fate, since God let me meet you, maybe you're the one who was chosen to go with me to find energy, so I won't consider anyone but you!" Lin Ziye said seriously.
Boss, is this a rhythm that has to kill me? I see, this definition of 'chosen' is based on the specific condition that you will not die while cultivating.
Helplessly sighing, I suddenly thought, speaking of which, I also saved Lin Ziye's life under the Taoist priest, although it was an inadvertent act, but it can be regarded as a life-saving benefactor!
Since I am a benefactor, Lin Ziye will not let me braided my hair when I am practicing...... Right?
Well, it's up to you to have that luck.
"Tell me, what do you need to do in the first step" I gave up my senseless resistance.
As the saying goes, people who dodge bullets on the battlefield because they are afraid of death are often shot in the eyebrows by a random sniper.
"Although you are stupid, the first step is to test your talent" Lin Ziye stared at the book intently.
"What's the test?" I was curious to see if it was a test.
On our earth, if a person is very talented and smart, it is the result of high IQ, and those who measure IQ, except for some anti-human questions, wait until they die to open their brains and see what is inside.
Wait, she's not going to open my head...... Hehe, she's not Hua Tuo.
Lin Ziye looked at me with disdain, took out a small square box from nowhere, and said, "There is an energy crystal here, which is the one I found recently, and it belongs to one of the energy components of our Mu Lingshu."
I opened the box with great interest to see what the hedron she was looking for on Earth...... Could it be a diamond?
Opening the box, I was dumbfounded, turned my head and asked her, "Are you sure you didn't find the wrong stone?"
"No, that's it, I've seen illustrations in books," Lin Ziye explained.
"Does the illustration say 'amber'?" I said, pinching a not-so-large block of amber.
"Yes!" Lin Ziye said with certainty.
"Since it's a measurement, why doesn't the amber react now?"
"What's the hurry, the Amber Stone Trial can only be used after the baptism of the spell!" Lin Ziye pouted.
"So that's the case, it's going to have to be opened!"
Lin Ziye took the amber from my hand, muttered a few words, and then threw it back to me, saying, "Hold it hard!"
"Wow, it's amazing to be so fast!" I praised, but my hands were not idle, and the green tendons burst out, and I used all my strength.
Ten seconds later, I opened my hand, and the amber stone had changed color, from transparent to inky black.
Lin Ziye flipped through the books, corresponding to the illustrated book, and suddenly wondered, why is this not the case?
Lin Ziye said, I'm sorry, there is no such situation of blackening, since this is the case, then you can skip this step and cultivate directly!
Where, how could it not be, since there is no such situation, does it indirectly mean that I am not suitable for this cultivation, but you are telling the truth......
Looking at Lin Ziye's senseless eyes, hey, how do I know you?!
