Chapter 198: Turning into the Mortal
After receiving the exercises given by Chengsheng, Nangong Yongchang and four other Yuan Infant monks spent the whole day in retreat and practice in the Tianmen Station.
And it's not just Nangong Yongchang and the other four.
Half a month later, the monks of all sects and sects on the Light Feather Star gathered at the residence of the Haoyue Sect to discuss the matter of fighting against the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth.
At the conference, Cheng Huo used the method of absorbing the 'power of emotion' on the Xuanwu Star and printed more than 100 copies and presented them to the heads of various sects.
Using the exercises, the masters began to search for disciples who possessed the 'power of luck' in their sects and even in the mortal cities under their jurisdiction.
Once discovered, they will immediately drain the luck of these Chosen Ones.
Originally, according to the requirements for survival, all these luck should be returned to heaven and earth, so as to maintain the balance of light feather star luck and prevent the arrival of the heaven and earth tribulation.
But everyone has selfish intentions, and the head is no exception.
Therefore, the heads of the various factions often only return a small part of them to heaven and earth after the 'power of luck' of the children of destiny.
This is just to deal with the inspection of Nangong Yongchang and others.
As for the rest of the luck, it will be collected for its own use, so as to be able to break through to a higher realm as soon as possible.
The leaders of each faction were only willing to return a small part of their luck to heaven and earth, which led to the fact that the luck on the Light Feather Star could never return to balance.
So the Great Tribulation was only postponed for a while.
It will still come.
And that's exactly what Chengsheng wants to see.
He didn't plan to save the Light Feather Star at all, he was just using the heads of the various factions to extend the time for the Light Feather Star to perish.
Only in this way will there be enough time to survive and complete the first step of 'turning gods into mortals' on the Light Feather Star - enlightenment.
After the enlightenment is successful, the Great Tribulation on the Light Feather Star comes, and then after the mortals are almost dead, they will be able to take the second step of 'turning gods into mortals'.
It was just perfect.
…
Guangyu Xing, the capital of Zhao Guoguo, the city of Daye.
High in the sky.
Survived suspended in the air for a long time.
Listening to the shouts and shouts of the peddlers and pawns in the city, and looking at the bustling crowd in the city, he couldn't help but show a touch of remembrance in his eyes.
After nearly a quarter of an hour in the air, Cheng Huo came back to his senses and landed directly on a remote street in Daye City.
There was an old white-bearded man selling candy in the street.
Judging by its appearance, it should have passed its prime.
Although the old man is over seventy years old, he is full of energy when he speaks.
Seeing Chengsheng appear in the alley and looking at his stall with interest, the old man opened his mouth and shouted: "Sugar man~, do you want to buy a candy man?" ”
"I'm not an adult." Cheng Huo replied with a smile: "Uncle, you are so old, I really can't stand calling me an adult." ”
"Hey,"
The old man laughed dryly, and said with a sly face: "Don't say much, just look at the clothes worn by adults, I know that the identity of adults is not simple?" ”
"Huh?" Cheng Sheng said with interest: "My clothes. Is there anything that can't be said? ”
The old man explained: "When I was young, I used to be a companion in the Immortal Pavilion in Fang City, so I can recognize it at a glance: the clothes worn by adults are only worn by cultivators, and judging by the materials used, it is very likely that they are a small group of people with a relatively high status among cultivators. ”
"Good eyesight!"
After praising the old man, Cheng Sheng nodded and admitted: "You guessed right, I am indeed a monk, and I am indeed a small group of people with a high status among the monks. ”
As he spoke, a touch of reminiscence suddenly appeared in Chengsheng's eyes: "Actually, I haven't eaten candy man for almost ten years, and time flies so fast!" ”
"yes, time flies!" The old man echoed with deep sympathy.
Cheng Sheng said: "Looking back, in fact, more than ten years ago, I was saved by a candy seller by chance. ”
"Saved by the candy seller?"
People like to listen to stories when they get old.
The old man of the sugar man immediately asked: "As a monk, you have a high level of deep cultivation, so how can the sugar seller save you?" ”
"That's a long story."
Chengsheng thought for a while and said: "I remember that I had some problems with my mental state at that time in Guyang City, but just when I was about to hold on and completely collapse, a candy seller in Guyang City suddenly shouted at me, and then sold me a sugar man." ”
"And then?" The old man was curious: "So the adults got better after eating the candy man?" Could it be that there is something else in the sugar man? ”
Cheng Sheng shook his head and said: "That's just an ordinary sugar man, but sometimes, things develop so inexplicably." ”
"At that time, I was obviously contaminated by the 'power of pain' and had no medical treatment, and I was even in such pain that I was going completely crazy."
"But when I finished eating the sugar monkeys made by the vendors, I suddenly rekindled my fighting spirit and regained the courage to face everything."
"Then, I carried it."
"I really envy you cultivators." After listening to the living story, the old man showed a look of envy: "You all have stories. Unlike me, I'm now a person who has half a foot in the coffin, but I've never stepped out of Daye City. ”
As he spoke, the old man skillfully drew a sugar monkey on the burden table and handed it to Chengsheng: "My lord, you just told me your story, so this sugar monkey, even if it is an old man, please eat it!" I don't want your money anymore. ”
Chengsheng took the sugar monkey, and he didn't thank him, just stared at the old man of the sugar man without a look.
"Hehe," the old man looked a little embarrassed, so he lowered his head.
When Cheng Huo saw it, he took the initiative to ask: "Uncle, do you have something you want to ask me?" ”
"Really!"
Seeing that Chengsheng took the initiative to speak, the old man changed his previous hippie smile.
With a serious expression, he respectfully rushed to live and performed a disciple salute, and bowed: "The younger generation is still rich, please ask the seniors to give you the method of cultivation!" ”
Chengsheng calmly accepted the other party's salute and replied: "I have a lot of cultivation methods here, and it's really not impossible to give it to you." ”
"I even have special methods that I can practice without a spiritual root."
"But the thing is, you're in your seventies now. At your age, even if you have cultivated Qi Sense in your lifetime, it will be difficult to go further. ”
"If you practice the exercises, you can live for a few more years, but in these few years, you need to endure countless hardships in exchange, I think it's a little bit unworthy."
The "this" sugar man old man is also self-aware.
He didn't refute, but only smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, you just said that even if you are among the monks, you can be regarded as a small group of people with a higher status, so even if you are a senior, there is no way for me to step into the path of cultivation?" ”
"I've heard people say that most of the Qi cultivation period monks can live to be more than 100 years old, and the foundation building period monks can live to be more than 200 years old."
"If I can build a successful foundation in my lifetime, then I will not be old at the age of seventy."
"So you're trying to get a shortcut from me?" Cheng Sheng looked at the old man and said, "Do you know that there is no shortcut to everything in the world?" ”
"This," the old man was speechless for a moment.
But when he saw Chenghuo, he suddenly changed his words and said: "But, I can really point you a shortcut." ”
The old man was shocked when he heard this, and immediately knelt down and rushed to worship and said, "Please also ask the seniors for guidance!" ”
"I've recently been walking a path of cultivation that few people have traveled – this path is called 'Turning Gods into Mortals'. ”
"There are two steps to turning a god into a mortal."
"The first step of the 'enlightenment' requires the monk to voluntarily disperse his body to become a mortal, and then as a mortal, comprehend the rules of a certain thing and do all this, and the first step of enlightenment can be regarded as complete."
"But the problem is."
Cheng Sheng said, suddenly pointing to himself and said, "I don't know how to disperse the cultivation in this body, I can't make this body become mortal." ”
"So I'm going to settle for the next best thing, and just take a new mortal body."
"Senior, you" Although the old man is old, he is not confused at all.
In just a few words, he understood the meaning of survival: "So the predecessors plan to borrow the decrepit body to complete the first step of 'turning gods into mortals'?" ”
"Not bad." Cheng Huo nodded and said, "If you want, when the time comes, I will let your consciousness fall into a deep sleep, and then use your body to take the first step of 'turning gods into mortals' enlightenment." ”
"When I retire and get out of your shell, the remaining cultivation in this shell will be the benefit you get."
"If nothing else, those residual cultivations should allow you to directly break through to the foundation building period in one go."
Foundation building period?
Hearing the words of the foundation building period, a trace of excitement that could not be concealed flashed in the old man's eyes, and he agreed without thinking about it at the moment: "Okay, anyway, I don't have many years to live, if the predecessors want to borrow my body to practice, just take it." ”
Cheng Sheng looked at the old man and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you?" ”
The old man chuckled, and there was a wisdom that belonged to the old man in his words: "If the seniors want to kill me, or take away me, you can do it directly, there is no need to spend so much time with me, right?" ”
"He's a man who understands!"
on the roadway.
In front of the Sugar Man booth.
After Chengsheng praised the old man, the whole person fell straight to the ground. In the next second, the living body hidden in the heart of Wang Hu's body turned the "Insect Dream" technique into a cloud of black smoke and went straight into the chest of the old man of the sugar man.
The old man of the sugar man, who was melted into his body by the black smoke turned into his life, was immediately shaken, and the whole person collapsed to the ground.
Less leaning.
The successful survival of the seizure controlled the body of the old man of the sugar man to stand up from the ground again, and the whole temperament changed greatly.
He learned the technique of the old man of the sugar man to draw the sugar man, and first stirred the syrup in the iron bucket.
Then I carefully put some in a spoon and tried to pour it on the bamboo slices to draw different patterns.
- The dark shadow of the Shadow Pavilion once said: Everything in the world can be used for enlightenment, so it is not only the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the butcher on the street, the beggar in the alley, and even the old man who painted the candy man. They all have their own way in what they do.
It is from the work of painting candy people that he wants to understand his way
…
Time passes.
Since he survived and won the old man of the sugar man in Daye City, nearly a year or so has passed in a flash.
Because of the exercises taught by Chengsheng, coupled with the efforts of the four Yuan Infant Stage monks such as the old man of Nangong of Tianmen, as well as the heads of various sects, the arrival of the Heaven and Earth Tribulation was prolonged.
In the past year, although there have been many natural and man-made disasters in various parts of the Light Feather Star, most of them are small disasters and small disasters.
The number of mortals and monks everywhere has not decreased too significantly.
