When he opened the door of the cabin and saw Arda again, the gray-haired old man was staring intently at a huge and complex magic array. The circle was drawn on the open space outside the cabin, and the composition was so chaotic and intricate, that the lines were so intertwined that it made people feel dizzy and nauseous and want to vomit at a glance.

Yang Yi had never seen such a strange magic array, but even though he hadn't seen it, he felt the evil and weird aura emanating from it as soon as he approached it. That smell of yin and evil, even a person with a monster physique like Yang Yi would instinctively reject it, and at the same time, he would be more aware of the powerful power contained in it.

"Alda. Carefully crossing the strange magic circle that felt very ominous, Yang Yi happily called the old man.

The old man raised his head from the magic circle, and was a little confused when he saw Yang Yi: "Walking in this movement - Raymond, or Yang Yi?"

Yang Yi touched his nose: "Yang Yi." ”

Alda was suddenly surprised and delighted: "Ha! It really worked." This demon summoning circle can really summon you from another plane! I'll just say that your demon constitution can sense this, sure enough! Hehe, my old man is really powerful, although he can't practice dark skills because his body is a light physique, but this kind of thing is drawing a magic circle, whether it's light or dark, there are really few people who are stronger than me!"

Yang Yi suddenly sweated with a waterfall on his face.

A high-ranking priest drew a demon summoning array outside his cabin that was strictly forbidden by all priests and was extremely taboo in itself. And that's not all. He also treated himself like a demon, forcibly summoned from another plane...... Is he summoning a pig?

It's really unbearable to have such an Alda......

What else would this demonic high priest not dare to do? What else could not be done by this grandfather Alda's outstanding style?

Yang Yi's face twitched, and he heard the respected former top god still say proudly: "I always thought that this matter could be successful. You have a demonic constitution. The Demon Summoning Array can summon demons, which is one of the prerequisites. And I know your real name, oh, I forgot to tell you that you need your real name to summon demons. Then I was worried that I couldn't be sure what plane you were on, so I made a space-time landmark on you. Ha Luha, although I have failed many times, I really summoned you this time. Xiao Yangyi, the whole process is different from the previous one. Is this more comfortable, or is that more comfortable?"

Which is more comfortable...... Is he comparing the skills of the previous acupressure lady in the massage room with the latter one?

Yang Yi's face became greener, and he wanted to ask Alda: You are messing around like this and summoning demons, in case it is not me who summons them. But what do you do with other things? You're a lot older, and you're usually as steady as an elder, why are you so ...... sometimes? Do you like Hulai?

In a blink of an eye, he saw Alda looking at him lovingly, and his mouth was babbling: "Although they are all demonic physiques, why can't Raymond be more like you?" When I grew up, I knocked hard like a blacksmith's iron drill all day long and didn't reply, suffocating myself! Could it be that I didn't care to raise him with a cripple? Or my little Yangyi is good, I feel good when I see you. Ha Lu Ha. I've summoned you! If I don't change my mood with Raymond for a few more days, I'll go crazy. Laughing Mimi, he beckoned to Yang Yi again: "What are you doing standing so far away?" Let's not practice today, let's talk to grandpa for a while. ”

In an instant, Yang Yi understood that this great priest had such a state of mind that had been precipitated for so many years, and he would do such a stupid thing: it was nothing more than loneliness. ...,

Lonely and unable to relieve boredom, lonely and childless, lonely and wanting a junior who can talk to accompany me.

Lonesome. Even if it is as strong as Alda, it is impossible to resist its invisible and terrifying lethality.

Yang Yi couldn't help but feel a little wet in the corners of his eyes. He hurriedly grabbed the tide and ran up to hug the old man hard, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Alda, I'm sorry, I should come often." By the way, I remember you have potatoes on this plane, right?"

Alda obviously enjoyed such a hard hug, and he stroked Yang Yi's head with a smile on his face, and said, "Yes." What are you going to do?"

"I just learned from my mother a vinegared shredded potato, make it for you to taste?"

"What is vinegar?"

"Oh, forget it, let's switch to shredded potatoes. ”

"Okay. You make it for me to taste. ”

"It's good. ”

The most sluggard shredded potatoes were not made, because Alda's skill in refining sugar in this time and space was low, and the existing maple syrup could not be pulled out no matter how it was boiled, so Yang Yi had to make the simplest cold shredded potatoes. It is to cut the potatoes into slightly thick potato strips, fry them in oil, and take them out when they are just fried and have a slightly crispy texture. Mixed with other condiments, it becomes a unique flavor that can be used as a snack and as a staple food.

The materials of Alda's time and space are very different from Yang Yi's time and space, Yang Yi tried to mix salt, some rosemary, a little black olive foam, and garnish with some freshly picked original mint leaves, as well as the old priest's homemade salad dressing, the taste is actually very good!

"Hmm. The old priest ate the cold potato sticks with a wooden fork and said with a smile: "It is indeed delicious, ten thousand times better than boiling it with water and tearing off the skin and then eating it." Who taught you this?"

"My mom. When I was a child, I was hungry for fried potato fries on the street, and because I was poor and afraid of spending too much money, my mother bought them and tried to fry them for me. Later, my mother's cooking was better than the street sales, and I didn't like to eat outside. The next time I come over, I'll bring some condiments and fry my mother's flavor for you. ”

Alda put down her fork, put one hand on her chest and made a priestly salute, "Great woman." Then he picked up his fork and continued to feast.

Seeing that Alda was eating comfortably, Yang Yi was very happy in his heart, and he consciously took the initiative to go to the side of Raymond, which could be regarded as turning out the thorn strips that he had been using for a while in his own room, and gritted his teeth and tightened his legs with an ascetic ring on his legs. He asked, "Wait until you're done eating?"

Alda saw the sharp teeth of the penance ring on Yang Yi's legs that were deeply embedded in the muscles, his shriveled face twitched uncomfortably, stopped chewing potato sticks in his mouth, and said, "No." And in the future, penance methods such as penance rings and thorn strips will no longer be used. ”

Yang Yi was stunned. He asked, "For what?"

Alda explained, "For you, the period of penance has already passed. The process of penance is used to strengthen the will, to perceive suffering, and to learn to appreciate the suffering of others. As I watched the process of asking questions in the depths of your eyes, it grew with your state of mind step by step, and now I know that it is no longer of much use to you. At this stage you don't need that thing anymore, you need something else. A good mentor adjusts his teaching methods according to the changes in his students, and your grandfather and I are not bad mentors. ”

In a similar vein, Chen Qian also said that in the middle of the instruction process of martial arts, Kamaiti, a senior brother, was inserted, which was a manifestation of the adjustment of his educational methods. But......

Yang Yi said a little confused: "Didn't you say last time that you wore an ascetic ring for ten years? A little bit in the early two months, right? Compared to you, it seems that the process of penance is not enough, too thin. ”...,

Alda put down her fork and smiled embarrassedly on her old face: "I lied to you." I didn't say it seriously at the time. Who knows if you will take it seriously, you are flexible, and you are not as easy to coax as Raymond......"

That's really ...... Yang Yi laughed angrily and asked, "Then how long have you been wearing the penance ring in total?" ”

The old priest looked slightly embarrassed and gestured out four fingers.

"Four months?"

Shake one’s head.

"Four days?"

He shook his head again.

Yang Yi gasped: "Four hours?"

The old priest said with an embarrassed face: "I was still very young at that time, and I was a low-level monk who had just entered the temple. How could you have the consciousness of such a firm will at that time? I couldn't bear this kind of suffering. After wearing it for four hours, it was secretly ripped off and put away. When you encounter a torture priest, wear it back and pass the test in a muddle. ”

This is good, coaxing himself to wear it 24 hours a day for more than two months, but he himself is good, and he has only been wearing it for four hours before he is stealing and slipping!

Yang Yi glared at Alda. I want to go crazy again, and my stomach hurts again.

Alda raised her fork to cover her face. Said urgently: "Hey, hey, don't stare at me like that." Who hasn't been young? My old man couldn't have done something stupid when he was young? I wore it honestly for four hours, and there are a lot of people who insisted on taking it off secretly in less than half an hour!"

That's 50 steps and 100 steps?

Alda was still arguing with a shy old face: "It was you who said that time was tight and you had to do it quickly, and I only thought of this method when I thought about it." It's a little painful, but it turns out to be very effective, and in two months, you've almost done what it takes someone else to take to be determined. Uh, no, your time over there is more than two months. But the time here is scattered and adds up to more than a year. ”

That's more than a year of wearing it...... That is, for more than a year, he rarely came to accompany the old man.

The resentment in Yang Yi's heart because of being coaxed by the bad old man immediately disappeared, and after sighing, he couldn't help but ask: "But I heard that some ascetics have worn this thing all their lives. ”

Alda pursed her lips and said disdainfully, "That's because they themselves misunderstood the actual effect of the penance ring. They are all stubborn and stinky stones, and when they suffer in the future, they are giving, thinking that they are always cleansing their sins with pain, and they deeply think that by doing so, they can keep their hearts pure. But in fact, according to my understanding, these people are addicted to iniquity! They have never even stepped out of the door of the temple in their lives, so where is the sin? If there is one, they are not treating themselves well, and they are torturing their sins anytime and anywhere!"

Then he sneered: "When the mind is twisted to the point of treating pain as a kind of enjoyment, who says that this is not the beginning of the Fall? Enjoying the pain to the point that it is not enough to inflict pain on others, and in the process of attaining distorted enjoyment—the demons of the abyss are doing the same: enjoying their own pain and that of others." ”

Yang Yi nodded slightly when he heard this, there are also people with this kind of distorted mind in modern society, who regard pain as a kind of enjoyment, and are addicted to it like a drug, and finally they are irrepressible and not satisfied with the existing painful state, and they become criminals more and more intensely.

Alda put down her fork and said, "Back then, I was indeed stealing and slippery because I was afraid of pain. However, what I experienced later told me that the growth of the state of mind takes years to precipitate, and this kind of accumulation of time and experience is not a coincidence. Penance through the penance ring can only be radical and quick at the beginning, it must not last long, and it must not develop dependence and cause distortion of the mind. As I said, you can stop everything, you must not overdo it, and if you go too far, you will become addicted to pain. You, in particular, have a demonic constitution and are more susceptible to the temptation to treat pain as enjoyment. Kid, take it off now, believe grandpa, you have laid a solid foundation at the beginning, which I can tell from the fact that I have never heard you complain for half a sentence. You don't need it anymore. ”...,

Yang Yi nodded in understanding, too much, that's what it meant. Looking at Chen Qian, the two wise old men both used the same methods when they treated themselves as if they were educating themselves. Chen Qian's radicalism is to sacrifice Senior Brother Kamaiti to teach himself the skills of killing, and he himself is teaching himself what is called benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith in a gentle way.

"I see. Yang Yi nodded, gasping as he untied the penance ring from his lap.

Arda stretched out his palm, and there was no chanting or painting, and a glow as bright as a rain of light spilled down from his palm. The new and old wounds that came out of the sharp teeth of the penance ring were illuminated by the light of his palm, and they were itching and painful, and they were healing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. Only about a minute had passed, and all the scars were gone, except for the itching of the newborn muscles, proving that they had been there.

What a clever and beautiful healing technique! The skillful skills contained in it have been practiced for a long time, and they are not at all at the level that Yang Yi can look back on.

However, no matter how powerful things are, there are also disadvantages and advantages, and now Yang Yi's whole leg is sore, and he suffers the sequelae of the healing technique: rapid healing, there are too many human body functions to heal muscles quickly, and soreness and weakness are inevitable.

Yang Yi gently rubbed the newborn muscles on his legs, felt this feeling of soreness and weakness, and asked, "Then what should I do at this stage?" ”

Alda got up to clean the dishes, and said while washing: "As I said earlier, there are some things that must be experienced, and they must be precipitated with time and experience. The reason why I was able to grow to where I am now is because I was unlucky enough to be kicked out of the temple at that time. Looking at it now, it wasn't bad luck, it was luck. I had to walk everywhere, to experience, to see, and every hour I went through made me who I am today. ”

Yes, China also has the same reason: go out of the world, look at the world, and only achieve nothing behind closed doors.

Alda put the plates in the makeshift closet and turned back to Yang Yi with a kind smile full of wrinkles, "So, kid, get ready to be an adventurer." Hey, I've laid out a career orientation for you, just like me, to be a little priest, haluha. (To be continued......)
