Emperors and generals will eventually die, and some people cultivate the Tao in order to escape from birth, old age, sickness and death, and live forever.

Thousands of iron horses, no match for the power of heaven, some people cultivate, in order to pursue the power of surpassing others.

Heaven and earth are mysterious, the stars are vast, and some people cultivate the Tao in order to pursue the origin and understand the mysteries of the universe.

"Why do you want me to take you as an apprentice?" The squinting old Zhaonan stood behind Yuan Tianyi with his back hunched and his hands down, and Yuan Tianyi stood in front of several wooden houses, and asked the young man in front of him, "What are you asking for?"

The boy looked up. The colorful brilliance came into his eyes, and at this time, after the Luofu rain, the sky was clear, and a rainbow happened to be across the sky. This rainbow is like the colorful dragon boat and the disdainful eyes of the two palace beauties, which made the young man's eyes blazing!

In his heart, there were many reasons, but he was dull by nature, and he couldn't argue well, so he looked up at Yuan Tianyi for a while, but he couldn't even answer a word.

"What's your name?" Yuan Tianyi, who didn't get an answer, didn't seem to care, and then asked.

The boy shook his head with difficulty, "I don't have a name. "He's been an orphan for as long as he can remember, and he doesn't know where he was born. Only the little girl who depends on the boy will call him Brother Shi, and that is also the fortune teller that the little girl listened to one day who was poor and down, and it was impossible for even the young man to know the eight characters of the young man Wu Old Man Hu said that the five elements of the boy lacked soil, and it was best to make up for it with soil and stone in the name, so he shouted like this, but the kind-hearted girl couldn't even tell the difference between the surname and the first name, and the title of the stone brother could not be regarded as a name.

In fact, the young man didn't know that if he couldn't climb this mountain, Yuan Tianyi wouldn't even need to know his name, but now it was completely different, the young man was shining with a desperate and persistent gaze, this kind of fearless and courageous gaze had also flashed in Yuan Tianyi's eyes. Yuan Tianyi looked at this young man, thinking of the first time he saw him pinching the clam bead that day, and then thought of the fact that he put the clam bead in the hands of the Cangyue Fairy, and thought of the first time he met her in the north of Luoshui. The white clouds and dogs, the flying flames and flowing gold, the light and shadow of decades flashed in the sea of his consciousness in an instant. What no one expected was that Yuan Tianyi would see his "Heavenly Tribulation" at this time!

Only cultivators who have cultivated to the legendary tribulation period will face their own "heavenly tribulation", in fact, the heavenly tribulation in the cultivation world has always been said to be three or nine heavenly tribulations. The reason why it is called the Thirty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is that the Heavenly Tribulation is divided into three layers and nine layers. But throughout the ages, it is not known if there are cultivators who can really survive the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, and for thousands of years, as long as they can survive the first Heavenly Tribulation, they are already the immortals who have crossed the tribulations in the mouth of cultivators. According to each person's experience, the different cultivation methods will cause different "heavenly tribulations". Some cultivators who cultivate the Wind and Thunder Technique cause the Heavenly Tribulation to be the Nine Heavenly Gangfeng and the Sevenfold Thunder Tribulation, some who cultivate the Yuan Mystic Method, which triggers the Heavenly Demon True Realm and the Three Lives Memory Illusion Tribulation, and some who cultivate the Mind Mystic Method, which causes the reincarnation of greed, hatred, and ignorance, and there are thousands of cultivators in the world, and there are very few who can reach this last step for thousands of years. Therefore, no one can clearly say what kind of Nine Heavenly Tribulations they will face in the end if they cultivate a kind of exercise.

Only cultivators who have reached this realm can realize the "heavenly tribulation" that they are about to face. Between gaining and giving, Yuan Tianyi's cultivation inadvertently took another step, and finally took this last step, and what made Yuan Tianyi smile slightly bitterly in his heart was that he found that his "Heavenly Tribulation" was actually a "Cause and Effect Tribulation" that few people have experienced!

"Your name is Luobei. ”

"Rakubei?" the boy repeated the name. He didn't know that Yuan Tianyi had finally stepped into the realm that only a few people had reached for thousands of years, and when Yuan Tianyi said this, his tone was still ancient and waveless, light and cold, but the young man looked at him, but there was a trace of warmth in his heart out of thin air.

"From today on, you are my Luofu disciple. I have already told you that if you practice my Luofu Gong and die for a lifetime, you have already made this choice, that is, you will put everything in your own life and death in my hands, so from today onwards, you must not disobey everything I want you to do, or even doubt it in your heart, can you do it?"

The boy nodded vigorously. A roll of yellowed silk silk immediately fell from Yuan Tianyi's hand, and he said to the young man lightly: "If you can't read, Lao Zhaonan will read it to you, if you don't understand anything, you can ask him, but within ten days, you have to memorize it all." After ten days, you start cultivating on your own. ”

The young man took a deep breath and picked up the yellowed silk scroll, the golden words and images on it looked as obscure as they were, he nodded a little stiffly, and looked at Lao Zhaonan who was grinning at him.

There is no imaginary immortal cave mansion with strict weather, there is no Qiongchi jade liquid in the description of the fortune teller, the immortals with birds and beasts, the colorful buildings and palaces, looking at the old Zhaonan of Miao Yi who is in his old age and the Yuan Tianyi who is independent, the young man with an innocent nature can't help but ask, "Where are our Luofu Sect?"

"Where you and I are, that's where the Luofu Sect is. I, Luofu Sect, have always been a single lineage. ”

Yuan Tianyi's faint explanation made the young man tremble.

At this moment, he was barefoot, dressed in the original heavenly clothes of Mai, like a white lotus, isolated in the mountains.

"Luobei", under the dim oil lamp, the originally nameless boy put down his rote memorization and memorized the yellowed volume of "Mahagara Tantra", and wrote his name in the sand table. "Uncle Zhaonan, you see what you taught me, am I writing correctly?"

Lao Zhaonan, who was old, put down a coarse linen robe that he was sewing in his hand, squinted his eyes, and laughed, "Young master, what you wrote is right." ”

"Uncle Zhaonan, aren't you a disciple of Luofu?"

"Yes, didn't the master tell you, Luofu has always been a single lineage, and only one disciple is passed on from generation to generation. I'm just my master's servant. Lao Zhaonan took the trouble to answer his words in his Miao Yi accent.

"But why only one? Aren't there many disciples in other sects?"

"Different sects have different sect rules, just like a thing always has its reason, according to Luofu's rules, if you grow up in the future, you can only accept one apprentice, young master. ”

"Uncle Nan, don't call me young master, call me... Call me Luobei, I always sound awkward. ”

"Yes, young master. Lao Zhaonan grinned, "Luobei, this name is very good." ”

The wind was strong on the top of the mountain, and the window lattices were blowing again, and the lights of the oil lamps were also on and off, but the young man's heart was very warm. Although Yuan Tianyi and Lao Zhaonan had only been in contact with him for a few days, they gave him a taste of home that he didn't have at all before. Although he knows that his talent is ordinary, he decides not to let this name disappoint his master!

After reciting the "Mahakala Tantra" again, it took a full nine days of hard work, and Luobei, who had ordinary qualifications, finally memorized the thirty-four volumes of the "Mahakala Tantra", including the annotations made by Lao Zhaonan for the words he did not understand.

"Can I start cultivating a day earlier?" Luo Bei, who had completed the recitation, asked Lao Zhaonan as if he were inquiring. He originally felt that he should ask his master Yuan Tianyi this question, but after all, when he looked at Lao Zhaonan, he was not as in awe as he was in the face of Yuan Tianyi.

The thin and stiff old Zhaonan nodded, "The master has explained, as long as you recite it completely, you understand the meaning." You can let me take you to cultivate. ”

"Master, isn't he going?"

"He's doing something else right now, but he said he can take you to him when you reach the second level. ”

Luo Bei looked at the "Mahakala Tantra" in his hand, nodded, and suddenly asked, "Have those Heavenly Masters been watching me climb this mountain?"

"yes, I just didn't expect you to come up so quickly. ”

"And what was that two-headed monster that day?" the boy finally asked him another question that he had been holding back for a long time, "and what it gave me to eat, and now I feel that I have more strength to use." ”

"That's a two-headed salamander. It is a spirit animal unique to Luofu, but the ordinary two-headed mountain salamander looks like a big lizard with two heads, and the one you see should have eaten some kind of spiritual grass and opened its divine sense, and slowly cultivated into a human form. Lao Zhaonan stopped working in his withered hands, "The one it gives you to eat is called Zhanxi Kezha grass, and in the local language, Zhanxi Kezha means the power of the mountain god." If it is eaten, it is equivalent to swallowing the aura of heaven and earth for several years, and ordinary people who eat it, not only will they get sick, but also their qi and blood will be strong, and their strength will increase several times. You saved its life, but it also understands Entu's retribution. ”

"Can spirit beasts also cultivate?" the young man asked curiously.

"Of course. Lao Zhaonan's amber-like eyes flashed, and then dimmed, "All things in the world, plants and trees are primate, all enjoy the nourishment of the aura of heaven and earth, no matter what kind of living beings, as long as they understand the method of cultivation, of course they can cultivate, but people are born with divine consciousness and know how to explore the mysteries of heaven and earth, among which there are enlightened people who have left many exercises for future generations to cultivate." And like mountain salamanders, most of them are born ignorant, life and death depend on the destiny of heaven, some of them happen to open their divine sense, most of them do not have the current practice of practice, plus the lack of education, all rely on their nature, many are not accepted, the world calls them demons, and some practice according to their own nature, or cultivate the inner pill, treasures, and many cultivators are the treasures in the eyes, they often have to hunt and hunt, so this kind of practice, compared with mortal practice, is much more difficult. ”

Luo Bei just started to get in touch with this world that he didn't know before, although he didn't necessarily understand everything, but he listened to it with relish, and he asked again: "If you have a head cut off, will it be fine?"

"The Two-Headed Salamander won't die unless both of its heads are cut off, so don't worry. Lao Zhaonan squinted his eyes and smiled.

"And what are the fruits it took away?" Luo Bei seemed to have endless questions, "It just thought that I wanted to snatch those fruits from it, so it attacked me." ”

"That's the pagoda fruit. It's not a strange thing, it's the fruit that the salamander likes to eat the most, just like a kind of golden monkey here in Luofu, which likes to eat a kind of yellow-shelled nut the most, and regards it as a fate, purely because of insufficient cultivation and not getting rid of its nature. But hearing this question, Lao Zhaonan's face instead showed a rare solemn look, "To cultivate this Mahakala Tantra, you must first be able to resist the temptation of your nature." ”
