Chapter 12: The Beast
Since the wolf boy studied under Master Lingmei, he has studied Taoist secrets such as "Xuanyuan Benji" and "Divine Mechanism Enemy Taibai Yin Sutra", and his skills have become more and more exquisite, which is no longer the same as in the past.
Master Lingmei also taught the wolf boy the art of beasts, the wolf boy likes to be with birds and beasts since he was a child, he loves this technique, he studies hard day and night, and he can fully comprehend it in a short time, and he can call birds and beasts like the Chixia fairy. I can't help but be proud and complacent.
One day, he went to ask the Chixia Fairy for advice, "Senior sister's spells are powerful, especially the art of beast control, I am also studying this technique, can I ask my senior sister for a trick or two." ”
Chixia heard what he said, so she remained silent and took out a stone from her body, which was the piece of amber. He said to the wolfboy, "I know it's originally yours, and it's a little disrespectful. I think so, today we will try the art of the bird, if I win, this piece of amber will be rightfully mine, if I lose, I will return it to you, and I will give you another treasure, okay?"
"Okay, but even if I win, I don't have to take this thing back, since it's yours to give it to you, there's a reason to get it back. The wolf boy said, "But I don't know how the senior sister wants to compete?"
Chixia turned her head and saw Senior Brother Zuo Dian coming over with a book in his hand, so she shouted, "Senior Brother Zuo, come over here and help us testify." ”
"Oh, okay, what do you want from Senior Sister?" Zuo Dian walked forward quickly.
Chixia grabbed the book in Zuo Dian's hand, and when she saw that it was a copy of "Xuanyuan Benji", she held it up to the wolf boy and said, "Please ask Senior Brother Zuo to put this book on the bookcase in the backyard school." The two of us are calling the birds here, who can let the birds fly into the school hall first to get this book back, even if whoever wins, please ask Senior Brother Zuo to testify, how about it?"
"Okay, that's it. The wolf boy replied cheerfully.
Chixia handed over the book to Zuodian to place it in the hall, and the wolf boy began to call the birds, and after a while, a goshawk flew over, flying over the compound, and Chixia also called a canary and landed on the treetops in the courtyard. The two of them meditated cross-legged and began to practice exercises.
When Zuo Dian put away the book and returned to the compound, he saw that both of them were ready, so he said, "Listen to my command...... and prepare ......"
The wolf boy slipped a trick, and before Zuo Dian's words fell, the wolf boy waved his hand and pointed, only to see the goshawk shoot like an arrow towards the backyard.
"Let's go!" Zuo Dian hurriedly shouted when he saw this.
After receiving Chixia's order, the canary also jumped up from the branch and flew towards the backyard.
After a while, I saw that the goshawk had flown back from the backyard, and the hawk's beak was holding a book, and flew straight to the wolf cub.
The wolf boy looked happy, jumped up from the ground, reached out and took the book from the eagle's beak, and then he raised the book towards Chixia, and said very proudly: "Senior sister, concede!"
Chixia was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, her eyes closed, ignoring him.
The wolf cub was wondering when the canary flew back from the backyard with a book in its mouth, but when the bird put the book in front of Chixia, Chixia opened her eyes as if she had woken up from a dream.
Chixia got up from the ground, handed the book in her hand to Zuo Dian, and said, "Senior Brother Zuo, please take a look, this is your book." ”
Only then did the wolf boy pick up the book in his hand and take a look, Jing was a "Xuanmen Morning and Evening Homework Sutra", not "Xuanyuan Benji" by Senior Brother Zuodian.
At this time, Zuo Dian took the book from Chixia's hand and held it up and said, "It is this "Xuanyuan Benji". In this way, it seems that the senior sister is still a step ahead. ”
Chixia turned around, smiled and hugged her fist at the wolf boy and said, "Thank you junior brother for giving in!" and then walked away.
Only then did the wolf cub suddenly realize. There must be several books on the bookcase in the school, and they are also calling birds to get books, and their own birds only know how to get the books back, but they don't know which book it is, but Chixia's birds can recognize which book it is and retrieve it accurately. I lost more than a little bit, this is not above the same level at all.
Could it be that Chixia's birds can really read and hyphenate, and can they still recognize pictures and find their way? The wolf boy remembered that Chixia helped pass on the book. The wolf boy was puzzled and felt very frustrated.
The next day, Master Lingmei saw that the wolf boy was depressed and depressed, so he asked the reason. The wolf boy had no choice but to tell everything about yesterday and ask the master for advice.
When Master Lingmei heard this, he laughed and said, "You were deceived by this girl Chixia, she didn't let the birds get the books like you, but became the books that the birds went to get herself." ”
"Huh?!" the wolf boy was shocked when he heard this, "could it be that she is capable of conjuring magic!"
"That's not it, this technique is actually the highest cultivation in the beast control technique-spiritism. It is to transfer the primordial spirit of man to the body of birds and beasts, so as to fully control the behavior of birds and beasts. When using this method, the human spirit is out of the sheath, and the body of the bird and beast is attached, at this time, you become this bird and beast, and this bird and beast also becomes you. You can be a tiger and a leopard in the mountains and forests, you can be an eagle and a falcon in the sky, but your body is a soulless shell, like the walking dead, and you are extremely vulnerable. ”
The mage continued, "To cultivate this technique, one must have extremely high talent and profound cultivation of Dao and martial arts. I had 7 disciples before, and only 2 of them eventually practiced this technique, and Chixia was one of them, and at present, she only communicates with some docile birds and small animals. ”
"By the way, in the past, when you stole the master in the firewood house to learn the arts, your senior sister turned into a little bird and inquired in front of your door for many days, and then she found out. The mage smiled again.
The mage stared at the wolf cub with his eyes, and said solemnly: "It is not easy to get started with this technique, and it is even more difficult to be profound, it is easy to resist herbivorous birds and beasts, and it is difficult to resist carnivorous fierce birds and beasts. The more fierce and cunning the beast, the more difficult it is to communicate with it. Even if you can be psychic, it is difficult to control it well. Another apprentice of mine who knew psychic art before me was once attached to a tiger, but because he was not good at tiger hunting and fighting, he was attacked by wolves and was finally bitten to death, which is a pity. The most ferocious and cunning of all beasts is the wolf. ”
When the wolf boy heard this, he immediately bowed to the ground and said, "I implore the master to teach this skill, and the apprentice will definitely live up to the teacher's teachings, and vow to practice this skill and inherit the mantle of the teacher." ”
Master Lingmei nodded and said, "Apprentice, you are gifted and gifted, and you are really a talent that can be created. I had already planned to pass on to you all the skills I had learned all my life, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a step, and you are still young, so you have to start with the basics. ”
"My master has already made arrangements, in the middle of next month, you will go to the Tianyuan Palace in Dongming Mountain to worship Xuan Zhenzi Daoist as a teacher, and learn the highest Taoist martial arts and internal cultivation, especially the Five Birds and Hundred Beasts Exercises. I have preached to him, and I will preach it carefully. ”
The mage took out a copy of "Taiyi Jinhua True Scripture" from the case and handed it to the wolf boy: "During the study of art, practice the true skills of vitality according to this book every night, and do not delay." After three years of study, my master will teach you the secret art of channeling. ”
The wolf boy was overjoyed and immediately thanked the mage. A month later, after packing up and stopping, after saying goodbye to everyone, he went to Dongming Mountain to learn art.
