Chapter 2: Ancestors

There must be a reason why the old ghost let Wang Lung go back to Zhuhai, and he also knew that Wang Lung would definitely not have a good face when he saw him, but the old ghost didn't care, he knew Wang Lung too well, he was purely a stubborn donkey master, and he didn't go, pushing backwards.

By the time Wang Lung took a special plane from Hong Kong back to Chengdu and then to Muchuan Zhuhai, it was noon the next day.

When Wang Lung walked into the familiar environment, the past was vivid, Zhuhai was his hometown, and he had lived here for 20 years, familiar land, familiar green bamboo, familiar reclining chairs, and familiar backs.

The old ghost lay leisurely on the recliner and pretended to sleep, Wang Lung had already known the Tao before he entered the bamboo sea, and did not get up, and when Wang Lung turned to the eyes, the old ghost smiled and said, "Sit down." ”

Wang Lung sat down as he said, but there was no joy on his face, his expression was a little serious, his eyes were fixed on the old ghost, and the two brothers walked away with interest.

The old ghost always maintained a peaceful smile and said lightly: "What did you gain from Ao Qing this time?"

Wang Lung sighed lightly and said: "Harvest a fart, all the valuable things on my body will be confiscated by Ao Qing, and if it goes on like this, let alone the experience, it would be good not to be starved to death." ”

"Ha Lu Ha ......" The old ghost laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and pointed at Wang Lung and shook his head and said: "Stinky boy, even if you don't eat or drink for a year or two now, there is no problem, as you perceive more laws, you won't have to eat and drink when you succeed in building a foundation in the future." ”

"Don't eat and drink, old guy, you said lightly, who said that Qing'er put too much salt in this dish every time he eats, and that dish is too hot, so you are picky, and you are embarrassed to tell me that you don't need to eat and drink." Wang Lung said angrily.

The old ghost chuckled and said: "I eat to satisfy my appetite, you and Qing'er were still ordinary people, if I don't eat or drink, won't I let you see the flaws." ”

"Come on, I can see it. You are the lord who only allows the governor to set fire to the people and does not allow the people to light the lamp, and only allows you to satisfy your appetite personally, can't I, you are too ruthless. ”

The old ghost's face sank and said, "Stinky boy, don't be big or small with me, what do you kid know." I'm doing that for your own good, do you know how important the thousand-year-old yellow cypress is, and you want to keep it private, if I don't take it away, your kid still has a life. ”

"You ......" Wang Long just wanted to stand up and scold the old ghost, but he heard the old ghost scold: "Sit down, listen to me tell you." ”

Wang Lung snorted coldly, sat down again with the butt he had just raised, and glared at the old ghost. Express your displeasure to the other person.

"Alas!" the old ghost sighed lightly and continued: "Your experience has been completed more than half, no matter whether you can succeed in the future, at least you have already learned some things, today I will tell you one more thing, I hope you can understand that in this world, life is not only for yourself." ”

Wang Lung didn't answer, and looked at the old ghost suspiciously. Listen to the other party continue: "I think you should be able to guess, I, the two brothers, the old naughty boy, Mo Tianlong, and Ao Qing all belong to the same sect. Wang Lung nodded. The old ghost continued: "Actually, it's not just a few of us, you will meet many people in the future, they are also the same as us, they belong to the same sect, as for the name of the sect, you don't need to know the Dao now. ”

Wang Lung just nodded vigorously. thought to himself, even if the old ghost didn't say it, he could see that he just didn't know what the old ghost was saying this for.

Ignoring Wang Lung, the old ghost continued: "Since it is a sect. There must be a founder, that is, the founding patriarch written in the novel you read, and the founder of our school is your ancestor, so we are all the same family. ”

Wang Lung opened his mouth wide, he couldn't believe what the old ghost said, what concept the founding patriarch had, of course he knew the Tao, but he didn't expect that he would have such a powerful background.

The old ghost continued: "You have been in contact with cultivation for a while, and naturally you know that each cultivation level of the Dao will have a different lifespan, your ancestor has been alive until now, and his cultivation is not even able to climb high, but his old man has not left the miracle space for a trillion years. ”

Wang Lung was stunned for a moment, and asked: "No, I heard a brother and two mention that after exceeding the god transformation stage, you must leave the miracle space and enter the battlefield outside the department, since the ancestor cultivation is higher than you, it must be beyond the god transformation stage, why will you stay in the audit space all the time." ”

The old ghost sighed lightly and said, "Don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly." Wang Lung nodded, and the old ghost continued: "Your ancestor once suffered a very serious injury, and he has not been able to heal so far, even with his cultivation, he can't resolve it, in order to save his life, he has to suppress the injury with the nine strength of his whole body to prevent it from worsening, unless there is a suitable pill, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable." ”

Wang Lung said, "You mean the thousand-year-old yellow cypress?"

The old ghost nodded and said, "Yes, in order to heal the injury, you must refine an elixir with the thousand-year-old yellow cypress seed as the main material before it can be cured." ”

Wang Lung shook his head and said, "How do I feel that what you said doesn't seem to be right, the thousand-year-old yellow cypress is indeed very valuable, but the ancestors have been injured for more than a trillion years, and not a single thousand-year-old yellow cypress has been found during this period?"

The old ghost shook his head with a smile and said, "That's not it, the thousand-year-old yellow cypress is important, but some can still be found, and in general, one can be found every million years on average." ”

"What is the ancestor's injury for, and it hasn't healed yet?" asked Wang Lung puzzled.

The old ghost sighed lightly and said: "You should be able to imagine that with the ability of the ancestor, the injury cannot be recovered on its own, how can the elixir used to heal the wound be so easy to refine, in these trillion years, the ancestor has collected no less than a million pearls of the thousand-year-old yellow cypress, but in the process of refining the elixir, it has not succeeded once." ”

"What?" Wang Long suddenly stood up when he heard this, and used millions of thousand-year-old yellow cypress seeds to refine the healing pill, but he didn't succeed once, and the probability was so small that it was close to going against the sky.

The old ghost nodded and motioned for Wang Long to sit down, and then said: "It's not that the ancestor's alchemy level is poor, but the probability of becoming a pill is too low. ”

One percent, that is, ten percent, seems to be very low, but if it is compared with the original probability of Cheng Dan, it has increased by an unknown number of thousands of times, and then Wang Lung understood. If he is allowed to refine the same pill a million times, even if he fails all, he will always have some experience, and he will improve over time.

After Wang Lung figured it out, he asked, "What do you mean is that my thousand-year-old yellow cypress has been taken away by the ancestor, and he is preparing the materials needed to refine the elixir. ”

The old ghost smiled and nodded, "Not bad." In order to ensure one-time success, the ancestor deliberately collected ten alchemy materials, except for the yellow cypress, other materials are easy to say, only the thousand-year-old yellow cypress is difficult to find, you also know that the Tao will only encounter a thousand-year-old yellow cypress every million years, the ancestor wants to collect all the ten, it will take at least 10 million years, who would have thought. You inadvertently picked a thousand-year-old yellow cypress in the Green Plains Star, which happened to be the tenth plant that the ancestor needed, now you should know how important that thousand-year-old yellow cypress is, right?"

Of course, Wang Lung knew the importance of the thousand-year-old Huang Juezi, his ancestors had been trapped in the miracle space for trillions of years because of his injuries, and now that the great invasion was coming, recovering from his injuries before the great invasion came, the ancestors would definitely be extremely excited and hold back in the miracle space for trillions of years. Now that his injuries have healed, it is not good to get out of the way and play tricks by means of the great invasion. To vent the resentment in his heart, if it was Wang Lung himself, he would do the same, but there is a premise, that is, the elixir must be successfully refined.

Thinking of this, Wang Lung asked in a trembling voice, "Then have you been in contact with the ancestors recently?" Has his old man succeeded in alchemy?"

The old ghost shook his head and said, "How can that elixir be so easy to refine, it is said that it takes at least five years to refine a furnace, and during this period, the ancestor forbade anyone to disturb him. ”

Wang Lung felt a little suppressed in his chest, and seemed to be a little happy and worried. He himself couldn't figure out what kind of mood he was in, he was proud of having such an ancestor, and he was worried about the other party's injury, and he prayed silently for his alchemy.

After taking three deep breaths in a row, he finally felt better, and Wang Lung asked, "Then you didn't tell me what you were doing, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have ......."

The old ghost chuckled and waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's talk about it today, your injuries haven't healed yet, rest for two days first, and then talk about it when your injuries are healed." ”

After speaking, he ignored Wang Long's blowing beard and glaring, got up and walked to the room, just walked a few steps, suddenly remembered a question, turned back to Wang Lung and said: "Yesterday I went into the mountain to get something, and you can get some food by yourself later, you don't have to call me." ”

Looking at the back of the old ghost, Wang Lung viciously wanted the middle finger of the root of the tree, and before his finger was stretched out, he heard the voice of the old ghost coming into his ears: "If you dare to stretch out your finger, Lao Tzu will dare to chop it for you today." ”

Helpless, after a long time, he never dared to stretch out his middle finger, and he could only clench his fist and wave it at the back of the old ghost, seeing that the old ghost had returned to the house, Wang Lung sat on the recliner with a decadent butt, his body kept shaking, but he was thinking about what happened just now.

I really didn't expect my background to be so bullish, my ancestor was the patriarch of the founding sect, since the ancestor has been alive until now, who is the current head of the sect, and who are my parents? Wang Lung thought about all kinds of possibilities, but never had an accurate answer.

After a long time, Wang Lung slowly stood up from the recliner, he really couldn't think of it, it seemed that he could only heal his injuries first, and then ask the old ghost after a few days, he was afraid that the old ghost would not say anything.

The hateful old ghost, he didn't even say anything in the middle of the conversation, and he was really not a good bird in his heart.

After sneering in his heart for a while, Wang Lung shook his head lightly, shook off those questions that he couldn't figure out, and walked towards the kitchen.

Three days later, still in the courtyard of his house, the old ghost was lying on a chaise longue and pretending to sleep, and he was opposite Wang Lung in a daze, as for the two brothers, as before, they were not on the sidelines.

Wang Lung looked at the two silk books in his hand, and smiled bitterly in his heart, after three days of recovery, the injury had healed, and after the injury was healed, he quickly found the old ghost, wanting to know more about himself, but unfortunately the old ghost looked at the left and right and said other things, and threw himself two silk books casually.

I thought that the old ghost was too lazy to say, and wrote the information he wanted to know about the Tao into the silk book, but when he opened it, he was dumbfounded, he knew the content of these two silk books, one was the "Casting and Cultivation Chapter" that could be cultivated, and the other was the learning material of the lingua franca of the Holy Source System, and he couldn't understand why the old ghost gave him these.

Wang Lung took the two silk books in his hand and asked, "Old fellow, why are you giving me this? I have all of these, did you take them by mistake?"

The old ghost shook his head, slowly opened his eyelids and said, "That's right, it's these two books, and this is also the purpose of me letting them notify you to go back to Zhuhai!"

Wang Lung was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's actually very simple, it's to give you a chance to be a good person, understand?" said the old ghost.

Wang Lung frowned, shook his head to show puzzlement, and the old ghost snorted and continued: "It's just that you see who is pleasing to the eye, teach them cultivation by yourself, as much as you want, even if it is all earthlings, it doesn't matter." ”

Wang Lung's eyes widened, the old ghost's words were similar to the effect brought by the ancestors of Zhilu Dao's own ancestors, he knew one thing, that is, the earth's aura was thin, and it was strictly forbidden to spread the way of cultivation, and now the old ghost asked him to teach it, what is this for?

After a moment, Wang Lung came back to his senses and asked, "Isn't it allowed on the earth, why let me go, why don't you go?"

The old ghost sighed and said: "This is a long story, let's tell you this, before the ancestor came to the earth, the "Casting and Cultivation Chapter" was not allowed to be passed on, and after talking with the Ancestor, we found out that the Ancestor did not clearly stipulate that it was not allowed to be passed on, it was our own misunderstanding, and now that Wang Jun has also begun to cultivate, there is no need to hide the "Casting and Cultivation Chapter" anymore, let you teach it on your behalf and be a good person, do you still need to push back and forth?"

It turns out that this is the case, Wang Lung lowered his head and pondered, if he really did what the old ghost said, in the eyes of the earthlings in the future, like Shakyamuni or Jesus, this kind of good thing will be beneficial to himself and harmless, but there is a key point, he doesn't seem to have much time, and half of the experience has not been completed, how can he have the heart to teach people to cultivate.
