There was a heavy snowfall in Kyoto.

For a northern country like the Northern Wei Dynasty, a snowfall was originally nothing, but in the depths of that famous temple on the mainland, Zenzi, who admired the snow in the courtyard, said an inexplicable word.

"After more than ten years, he still came!"

The old monk beside Zenzi subconsciously raised his hand and touched the three rows of ring scars on the top of his head, and said lightly, "Hasn't Zenzi been waiting for him?

Zenzi looked back at the old monk and did not answer.

······

Chu Jiangkai in a secret cave somewhere in the Dragon Cave has been meditating for nine days.

But the block of five elements of soil is still suspended unchanged in the inner mansion.

This is the last stage of practice before the formation of Yunhai.

The old pedant is right, the casting of Yunhai is really nine deaths and one life.

And these nine deaths, Chu Jiangkai has already experienced eight of them.

Every time is really a vivid death.

Even clearer than real death.

That kind of pain Chu Jiangkai still had palpitations when he thought about it, so much so that he felt that he couldn't survive the upcoming ninth time.

Chu Jiangkai took out the last spiritual power talisman and stared, he knew that this ninth death would definitely not be able to hold on to this spiritual power talisman, and that damn Five Elements Soil had been refined for so many days without the slightest loosening, did he really want to give up his efforts as Liu Yuquan said?

Chu Jiangkai didn't want to give up, and he didn't want to fail.

It's just that the eight lives and deaths in these eight days also gave Chu Jiangkai a lot of insights.

In addition to experiencing the endless pain, in those moments of slight relief, he thought most about the words that Li Youzhi taught him back then.

In fact, he also checked it later, and those few sentences are the beginning of the classic book "Tao Te Ji", and now it is not only those sentences taught by Li Youzhi, Chu Jiangkai is already familiar with the entire "Tao Te Ji".

He found that aside from the simple literal meaning, the whole book actually has the essence of teaching people to be good.

But this good word is easier said than done.

Just like the eight days he has experienced, eight times of life and death, when that kind of pain comes, Chu Jiangkai, who gritted his teeth, is swaying in his sight the faces of those who once wanted to kill him, many times Chu Jiangkai wants to eat their flesh and drink their blood, and the good word that should have appeared has never appeared at all.

What Chu Jiangkai wants to understand is that goodness is only goodness with a bottom line, and if there is no bottom line, it is just hypocrisy with a plan.

Just like this Five Elements Earth, which has been suspended in the inner mansion and has not been able to refine, the pain it has endured for eight times of life and death cannot be exchanged for a trace of mercy.

Even if the nine seeds are eager to summon, even if the sea that has been formed in the dantian position is about to become rootless water, even if this person has gone through too much suffering, he has not exchanged the good thoughts of this Five Elements Land.

And what about the next ninth time?

Finally, how should I use this spiritual power talisman?

Chu Jiang lit the fire on his fingers, took out the storage bag, poured out the contents one by one, and examined them carefully.

When the blank stack of rune papers was picked up, Chu Jiangkai had an answer in his heart.

When he was in the Xianju Mountain Society, the old scholar once suggested that he should enter the Fu Dao first.

Later, without waiting for Chu Jiangkai to go deeper in Fu Dao, so many things happened one after another.

Don't talk about Fu Dao, that is, escape is within reach every time, where is there still the heart to study.

But now, Chu Jiangkai wants to try.

There is no pen and no paint, but these are difficult to Chu Jiangkai.

Besides, the old scholar said that those pigments are actually taken from nature, and there is a treasure trove of the old black dragon in this dragon hollow, how can he not find this use?

Chu Jiang started the simple sound transmission array, and after the formation was lit, the majestic voice of the old black dragon came, "What's the matter, stinky boy, is Yunhai cast wasted?"

"Not really. Chu Jiangkai hurriedly explained, "It's just that there are some things missing, and I just want to ask my seniors for a few things." ”

There was silence for a long time on the other side of the sound transmission array, the old black dragon was really a dragon clan, and he didn't know what he wanted, so he had already shown pathological stinginess.

"Tell me, what shall I hear?"

"If you have a five-color spiritual power talisman, you can get thirty or fifty pieces of it, and each of the pigments such as gold, green pine, cinnabar, etc., and one fairy talisman pen, and ······."

"Stop!"

The old black dragon on the other side of the sound transmission array really couldn't listen to it anymore.

"Good guy, dozens of colorless talismans, dozens of catties of paint, and a fairy talisman pen, you kid is really an old man, this is Wanbao Cave, what do you want?"

"Oh, isn't there that much?

"It's really a toad yawning and a bad tone!" the old black dragon sneered, "I don't have the ones you want." I'm guessing you want to draw a few Dao talismans yourself, right? In this case, I'll ask the gentleman to send you something, and you can wait with peace of mind!"

Without waiting for Chu Jiangkai to bargain, the old black dragon cut off the transmission, probably because he was afraid that Chu Jiangkai would make some perverted requests.

Chu Jiangkai shook his head and smiled, this old black dragon really deserves to be a dragon clan, greedy for money and slamming the door.

When he was waiting for the gentleman, Chu Jiangkai was not idle, and cut a big stone in this secret cave into a stone table, two stone benches, and when the gentleman's roar came, Chu Jiangkai's work was just completed.

The gentleman hasn't seen Chu Jiangkai these days, and he was a little shy at first glance, and he kept circling around Chu Jiangkai, no matter how Chu Jiangkai shouted, he never stopped, and Chu Jiangkai was almost dizzy.

"I said, how did you close this level?

Chu Jiangkai smiled awkwardly, "Yes, if you don't make an inch, you can't just ask the old black dragon for something!"

"Well, I'll put you here. ”

The gentleman jumped on the stone table and shook his neck, and a small storage bag hanging around his neck fell on the table top of the stone table.

"How is it?, are you having fun with the old black dragon?" Chu Jiangkai didn't rush to get the storage bag, but asked what the gentleman had been doing these days, "His treasure is a lot more than your father's, right?"

The gentleman nodded.

"My father's collection is probably not even half of this old dragon king. I've also seen the colorless talisman you said, but the old dragon didn't lie to you, none of those are spiritual runes. ”

"This is normal, someone who has the ability to draw a five-color Dao rune, who would waste talent to draw a spiritual power rune?"

"Actually, I think since you recast Yunhai yourself, wouldn't it be better to use the object from your hand?"

"Hehe, I thought so too, I was just joking with the old black dragon at that time, even if he had those things for me, I wouldn't ask for them, I just wanted to ask him for a pen and a few pieces of powder from the stones when drawing the Dao runes. ”

"You two want to go together, and that's what he gives you. The gentleman roared.

"Gentleman, what about you? Don't you know how to help me get more treasures?"

"I, why should I help you get more? I'm a mythical beast, okay? Hehe, I want to give myself some treasures!"

"Ahh

"What's that your name?"

"Greed for money is the true nature of our Divine Beast Clan, I just didn't awaken before!"

Chu Jiangkai was surprised and didn't know what to say.

It seems that the old black dragon is not talking nonsense.

It's only been a few days, and I've really let myself see the real divine beast.

How sad!

"If it's okay, I'll go first, you can draw the Dao talisman with peace of mind, I still have to follow the old black dragon to learn treasure appreciation? I only know how stupid I am now, and I don't know many things. The gentleman muttered as he exited the secret cave, leaving Chu Jiangkai looking at the back of the gentleman who was going away, alone and messy against the light of the fire burning on his fingers.

After a long time, Chu Jiangkai came back to his senses, smiled bitterly, opened the storage bag on the stone table, and silently took out the things sent by the old black dragon.

The most ordinary talisman pen has always been, a cartridge that seems to have been divided into five compartments.

Chu Jiangkai was secretly sad, this old black dragon was really stingy, why did he take back such an ordinary talisman ink cartridge as a treasure in the first place?

But the moment he spread out the rune paper and held the rune pen, he understood the old black dragon's good intentions.

This rune pen is by no means as simple as it seems, but is full of rich aura, which is mellow many times more mellow than the aura in this secret acupoint.

This secret cave already has a lot of aura, and if it is an ordinary retreat, such an aura environment is definitely top-notch.

But Chu Jiangkai is not a dantian, but a sea of Yunhai that has not been encountered for thousands of years, in this way, the aura in the secret cave is far from enough, and in the eight days before this, it has been supported by the spiritual power talisman given by the old pedant, but after all, the spiritual power talisman is used up.

Fortunately, this pen brought Chu Jiangkai hope, at least let him see the possibility of completing the spiritual power rune.

The situation in the cartridge was similar to the one I had seen in the old pedant's room.

Chu Jiangkai couldn't tell the difference between good and bad powder inside, but the color was very bright, which was enough.

Chu Jiangkai categorically didn't dare to imagine how he could draw an earth-shattering rune, he just wanted to simply make some spiritual power runes.

The rich aura in the talisman and the aura of the spiritual power talisman in Chu Jiangkai's body blended, flowing happily in the small pen tube, and gradually converged to the tip of the pen, where the pen was dotted with stars, showing an appearance close to the starry sky.

Chu Jiangkai held the talisman pen and gently probed into the ink cartridge, and dipped it heavily in the gold powder.

The gold powder scrambled to attach to the talisman pen, and Chu Jiang waved it, leaving a strong stroke on the back of the rune paper.

This brush is like the sunshine in early winter, bright but warm, bright but not dazzling, like the shadow of the sun left on the snow-covered mountain.

Chu Jiangkai looked at this stroke happily.

Behind this stroke is the eloquent and pure teachings of the rickety old man.

I don't know if the old man can bear the anger of the mountains after causing so many disasters.

If this pen is written in front of the old man, I don't know how pleased he will be?

Or what kind of satisfaction?
