CHAPTER XXIII

Tan Shaobai ate the last bit of meat on the chicken bones, and said: "Yes, naturally there is a pull, but you seem to be angry, do you still need to eat chicken legs? Isn't it full after drinking the northwest wind?" If the old monk Wuyun saw that there was such a person who cultivated Buddhism, I am afraid that his nose would have been crooked. Thinking of this, Tan Shaobai couldn't help laughing.

For the sake of deliciousness, Hongji couldn't care about anything now, so he leaned on Hailong's shoulder and said with a smile: "Boss, what kind of character are you, how dare you be angry with you, just give me a little." ”

Tan Shaobai patted Hongzhi's shoulder and said, "It's good if you understand, if you lose your temper again in the future, I will help you 'hunger strike'." As soon as the void was grabbed, another chicken leg appeared out of thin air and was casually stuffed to Hongji. Hongji took it and hurriedly opened his mouth to eat. Tan Shaobai waved his right hand continuously, first a sheepskin appeared, and then, the same food fell on the sheepskin, and finally, he even "transformed" two pots of wine, and the chicken leg in Hongzhi's mouth almost fell to the ground. Although he felt the fluctuations in his mana, he couldn't understand where these things came from.

Tan Shaobai was secretly proud in his heart, these were naturally stored in the Qiankun Ring earlier. Since absorbing the immortal qi in the Heaven-defying Mirror, he found that when he used the Qiankun Ring again, there would be no blue light, and it was more convenient to use. The Qiankun ring is a good thing to keep fresh, no matter how long it is placed in it, it will be as fresh as when you first put it in. Tan Shaobai's deliciousness is not under Hongzhi, most of the silver taels spent in Tongyuan City at the beginning were used to purchase food, and now the things in the Qiankun Ring, he eats alone, and he can't eat them all in a year.

"Eat quickly, and rest early after eating. A big leather roll appeared, and under Tan Shaobai's quick movements, a simple two-person leather tent quickly appeared on the ground, Tan Shaobai found a relatively flat place, fixed the tent with big nails, and then began to continue to eat. What he did deeply shook Koji's heart. In Hongzhi's eyes, Tan Shaobai is like a thousand-armed Guanyin, who can change anything he wants. The respect in my heart suddenly became even stronger.

After being satisfied, the two got into the tent, Tan Shaobai took out his precious small iron rod from his arms and put it beside him, there was a huge magic weapon in it, even if the wind on the plateau was cold, it was impossible to blow the leather tent over. As soon as Hongji saw the little iron rod, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a circle of golden Buddha light seeped out from around his body, as if sensing something, and the small iron rod also made a soft sound. "Big brother, this, what kind of treasure is this. It seems to contain a huge amount of Buddha power. ”

Tan Shaobai smiled smugly and said, "Do you want to know? You first tell me what the big gold bowl you used yesterday is, and I'll tell you what it is." ”

Hongzhi said: "That Buddha bowl is one of the several magic weapons passed on to me by the master, it is the treasure of my Buddhism, and it is a holy object to subdue demons and subdue demons, called Bodhi bowl." The golden light produced in it is injected with Buddha power to have a strong demonic effect, and the power will increase or decrease with the size of the Buddha power injected, and the demons will be afraid of it when they see it. The so-called, Subodhi. Yu Yiyun He. If you come to the Anuttara Sambodhiya. If there is something to say, yes. Subodhi. The words are as I interpret the Buddha's righteousness. There is no law. The name is Anuttara Sambodhi. There is no law. When he talked about Buddhism, there was no trace of childishness on his face, and he was like a monk. The Buddha qi on his body surged out, bringing Tan Shaobai a feeling like a spring breeze.

"Alright, alright. What kind of nonsense, I don't understand your Dharma. It seems that your Bodhi bowl is much stronger than the Buddha bowl I used to see the Buddha Buddha in the Brahma Heart Sect last time! My little iron rod is called the Ten Thousand Demons Muster Stick, which means that even if ten thousand demons come, it can wipe them out. "How did he know what the real name of the little iron rod was, it was all for showmanship, and it was just nonsense. Hongzhi believed that it was true, and couldn't help but reach out to the small iron bar, but Tan Shaobai didn't stop it.

When Hongzhi's hand grabbed the small iron rod, the small iron rod suddenly emitted an unusually strong golden light, and the Buddha power output by Hongzhi was completely absorbed by it, and the golden light flowed for a while, and Huang Tan Shaobai and Hongzhi couldn't open their eyes. Hongji wanted to pick up the small iron rod, but even if he pushed the Buddha power to the limit, he could only lift a corner.

"It's so heavy, it deserves to be a stick for all evils. Big brother, this magic weapon of yours is much more powerful than my Bodhi bowl! I see that you hold it very easily, why does it become so heavy as soon as it reaches my hand. ”

Tan Shaobai said unashamedly: "Of course, my cultivation is higher than yours, so I can naturally pick it up easily." As he spoke, he easily took the small iron rod into his hand. Due to the injection of Hongzhi Buddha power, the small iron rod became extremely hot, and the surging energy flowed into Tan Shaobai's body along the body of the stick, and the mixed energy was injected with this fresh blood, and it immediately started to run rapidly. Tan Shaobai didn't have time to explain to Hongzhi, and he had already entered a state of concentration. Hongzhi saw that a faint layer of yellow light suddenly gushed out of Tan Shaobai's body, although it was far less powerful than the Buddha power he exuded, but it was indeed the same source of power as himself, and he secretly thought in his heart, could it be that the eldest brother is also a person who cultivates Buddhism? At this time, the light suddenly changed, and the yellow light gradually faded and the cyan light emerged, which suddenly brought a completely different feeling to Hongzhi, although it was still authentic mana, but this was definitely not Buddha power. After a while, the light changed again, turning from blue to blue, and the pure immortal qi floated out, and its surname was the same as that of Hongzhi when he first refined the ghost soul, seeing such a situation, Hongzhi couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and muttered: "No, there are three kinds of mastery on the eldest brother alone, this, this is also incredible." ”

At the same time as the blue light appeared, a cloud of silver light lit up on Tan Shaobai's chest, and an invisible air cover emanated, pushing Hongzhi to the edge of the tent, Hongzhi clearly felt that this layer of air cover was based on fairy qi, but the power of this fairy qi cover was extremely strong, even if he could use Buddha power to break it, it would not be very easy. The eldest brother is simply too mysterious, how did he do it, he actually fused three different qualities of energy with his own body, although these three energies are pure in texture and belong to the power of the righteous path, but it is too difficult to fuse them. In fact, not to mention that he didn't understand, even Tan Shaobai himself didn't know why the three energies could be fused with each other without exclusion in the body. The Anti-Heaven Mirror is worthy of being the treasure of the immortal family, although Tan Shaobai can't control it yet, but after Tan Shaobai enters the cultivation state, the shield it exudes on its own can not only prevent the invasion of external demons, but even resist the attacks of masters of the realm below the peak. With it, even if Tan Shaobai encounters an enemy several levels higher than himself, it will at least be enough to protect himself. Hongji glanced enviously at the small iron rod held in the palm of the hand by the sea dragon, and used his Buddha power to support a space in the tent and began to meditate.

I don't know how long it took, Tan Shaobai slowly opened his eyes, the small iron rod in his hand had returned to normal, and the mixed energy in his body was fused into a furnace again, as before, the volume of the fused energy did not increase in the slightest, and the Buddha power caused by the small iron rod by Hongzhi before cultivation had already been swallowed up by the bottomless abyss-like lake at the Lingtai. Although his cultivation had not improved, Tan Shaobai still felt a burst of refreshment. Hongji sat cross-legged in front of him, with a faint yellow light on his body, completely looking like a treasure elephant. Tan Shaobai knew that he was most afraid of disturbing when cultivating, and once he went mad, it would not be described as dangerous, and he just wanted to go outside the tent lightly to breathe, but he heard Hongzhi say: "Big brother, you are really strong, it took seven days and seven nights of cultivation to wake up." "Hongzhi's cultivation has reached a certain level, in this kind of place, he will not completely close his six senses at all, as soon as Tan Shaobai finished his cultivation, under the traction of the qi machine, he woke up.

Tan Shaobai scratched his head and said, "Is it seven days so long?" He was happy in his heart, of course he knew that the longer the cultivation lasted, the better it would be for his cultivation.

Hongji Zhengse said: "The monks don't speak, I have always been sober, of course I know how long it has been." Tan Shaobai snorted disdainfully and said, "What kind of monk are you, you drink and eat meat, at most you are a monk of wine and meat." I think you may still ask me to help you find a wife in the future. I know the sect masters of the Lotus Sect, they are all female Buddha cultivators. After speaking, Tan Shaobai laughed ill-intentionedly. He had already decided that when he cultivated to a high level in the future, he would definitely find a Taoist companion, at least with a look like Tianqin.

After listening to Tan Shaobai's words, the treasure elephant on Hongzhi's face suddenly disappeared, and he smiled bitterly: "Big brother, you can save some face for the little monk." This is absolutely impossible to find a wife. The master once said that women are tigers, even women who practice Buddhism are no exception. I want to be with a tiger every day. ”

Tan Shaobai smiled: "Come on, you, you've only seen a few women." The ancients said that my fair lady is a gentleman. It's not a big deal, and there are not a few of us cultivators who combine to become Taoist couples. Hey, in fact, I haven't been cultivating for so long, but that day you stimulated the energy of the Ten Thousand Demons Mustard, so in order not to waste it, I only had to absorb it in meditation. How about it, my magic weapon is powerful, right?" Hongzhi nodded from the bottom of his heart and said, "Big brother, your Ten Thousand Evil Beasts Stick is indeed a very powerful magic weapon, I can't detect its depth at all, it contains a huge amount of Buddha power and energy similar to the blue light emitted when you cultivate. That should be the so-called mana of your cultivators. It's the first time I've seen two different energies in a magic weapon. I've never seen a master like you, big brother, who actually has three kinds of energy cultivation, and the little brother really admires the five-body throwing to the ground!"

Tan Shaobai said in surprise: "How do you know that I have three kinds of energy in my practice?" Hongzhi said Tan Shaobai's vision when he entered the fixed cultivation. After listening to his narration, Tan Shaobai frowned and muttered: "I don't know if this is a curse or a blessing, it seems that I really have to hurry back to the mountain, hurry up the strange seniors." Thinking of this, he stood up and continued, "Let's go, after cultivating for so many days, we should also hurry." With that, he put away the little iron rod and was about to leave the tent. Hongji grabbed him and said, "Big brother, let's wait before leaving." ”

Tan Shaobai shook his head and said, "What's wrong?" Hongzhi said with some embarrassment: "I haven't eaten for seven days, I, I'm a little hungry." Let's eat something before we go on the road, we have so much strength. Tan Shaobai smiled: "Where are you hungry, it is clear that you are hungry." Well, it's up to you. In the excitement of Hongji, all kinds of delicious foods appeared again, and after the two of them had a big meal, they went on the road.

Ten days later, the two finally came to the north of the Western Regions according to the map, and the things in front of them gradually became familiar, Tan Shaobai felt a sense of going home in his heart, and he no longer cared about teasing Hongzhi, so he quickened his pace and hurried towards the north. Finally, when the sun slowly set in the west, in the distance, he saw the village where he was born and raised.

Under his feet, Tan Shaobai stood in place violently, and Hongzhi, who was following him, almost hit Tan Shaobai's back without any warning, and was suddenly startled. "Big brother, why don't you stop. ”

Tan Shaobai muttered: "Home, I, I'm home." Hongzhi shook his head and said, "Home, is this village your Qingyun Sect?" didn't you say ......?"

Tan Shaobai shook his head and said, "No, this is not our Qingyun Sect, this is the home that gave birth to me and raised me, and I was born in this small village." Here's one of my best friends. With that, he suddenly accelerated and ran towards the village. After leaving for nearly five years, how eager he was to see Tan Jinxuan, who he grew up with since childhood, immediately!

Everything is normal in the small village in the Western Regions, it is no different from before, the surroundings are so quiet, Tan Shaobai knows that the villagers should go to the back of the village to cultivate now. All this is really familiar to him. There was almost no reason, he went straight to Zhang Hao's house, muttering: "Xuan Zai, you lazy, you must be at home." You must be at home!" The village is very small, and with Tan Shaobai's current speed, it is only a few blinks of an eye. Tan Jinxuan's house suddenly appeared in front of him, the dilapidated wooden door was still half-hidden, Tan Shaobai pushed the door in violently, and shouted: "Xuan Zai, I came to see you." Come out of here, boy. A loud voice echoed almost the entire village. Under Tan Shaobai's excited gaze, the door of the wooden house opened, and an old man walked out of it tremblingly. Tan Shaobai vaguely recognized that this old man was Tan Jinxuan's father, Tan Dongfang. In a flash, Tan Shaobai came to the old man's side, and the old man took a step back in some panic, stumbling under his feet, and almost fell. "You, who are you?You, who are you?" Tan Shaobai grabbed the old man's shoulders and said excitedly: "Uncle Fang, Uncle Fang, it's me! I'm Shaobai, you don't know me?"
