Chapter 37: The Mirror Looks at the Heart
The peak of the mountain is straight into the sky, and just halfway up the mountain is already covered with a large area of clouds, and the peak is like a wall, there is no place to settle down, and it is impossible to go straight up.
It is said that it is a mountain peak, but it is better to say that it is a wall, a huge wall blocks Lin Xi's retreat, and he knows in his heart that if he does not go to the mountain, the end will be worse than now.
Lin Xi asked softly, "Senior, has anyone ever come in before?"
The white-eyed old ape smiled, his face was still very calm, "There have been a lot of people here, the human race, and the demon race have basically been here." The old ape's words paused meaningfully at this moment, and looked at the young man in front of him.
There was a calm horror on the young man's face, and he didn't think much of what the old ape was about to say.
To be honest, Lin Xi had already guessed from before he asked the question, what else could he do?
The old ape looked straight and said unceremoniously: "It's all useless things." ”
Lin Xi glanced around, the aura was still full of it, and he asked, "Since they can't succeed, why don't the seniors go up by themselves?"
The white-eyed old ape thought for a moment, glanced at the mountain behind him, and muttered to himself in a non-questioning manner: "Maybe it's because I'm too powerful, otherwise I would have gone up a long time ago." ”
Lin Xi was stunned, this answer made him never expect, it was too powerful to go up? If he heard this sentence from someone else's mouth, Lin Xi might laugh at it, but the old ape said this sentence, the weight was too much, it didn't look like a joke at all.
"Little baby, although you say that the Fountain of Life is sealed, there is no spiritual power in it, you are not a monk. The white-browed old ape said.
Lin Xi nodded, "That's true, I'm not a monk, and I don't understand monks." ”
The old ape said slowly: "That's right, if it's in the outside world, it's not this bullshit place, even if thousands of mountains are in front of me!"
The old ape smiled and waved his hand, as if to make a noise to everyone.
"Not really!"
Words are the law, accompanied by the words of the old ape, the whole land was turned upside down, in front of Lin Xi, everything did not change, but he could feel that there was a huge spiritual power that burst out almost instantly, sweeping all the spiritual energy in it.
After a while, a new aura appeared, slowly returning to the bodies of various trees and flowers.
"Is there a weirdness on the mountain?" Lin Xi said.
"Hehe, weird doesn't count, it's just that there's a pardon on it. The old ape smiled and continued, "It is not an ordinary pardon, but the man himself wrote it. ”
Who is he, Lin Xi's mind was in a mess, and he didn't know what this old ape was going to tell him?
The old ape was a little yearning, but also a little resentful, "Yifu closed the mountain, do you really think you can win? In the end, you still lose, it's ridiculous!" The old ape suddenly laughed wildly, from behind him, the earth was torn apart alive, and pieces of land floated upward, the momentum was so great that even Lin Xi, who had been calm, was secretly surprised.
All the earth beyond the lake floated into the air, and with the old ape's laughter, it slammed into the mountain peak behind it, and halfway up the mountain, the clouds and mist were lifted, and a capital "pardon" appeared, and everything was restored to its original state, and the earth was still the same, and the mountain peaks were still surrounded by clouds and mist.
The old ape looked at the mountain peak viciously, and scolded: "If you lose, you lose, it's ridiculous!" The old ape laughed like crazy, and Lin Xi was a little timid.
After the old ape scolded a few more words, he turned around and said, "See?"
What the hell is the word halfway up that mountain?
"Nan Ke a dream, Nan Ke a dream, Taoist secret method, as long as there is that pardon in no matter what you can do, it will be broken like a dream! ”
Lin Xi seemed to understand a little, "So, no one without spiritual power in the body has ever been here before?"
The old ape sneered, "What's the difference between such a person and a waste? ”
Lin Xi smiled coldly, he was not like this yet, the aura in his body had returned, but after all, it was limited to this place, as long as he went out, he was not an ordinary person.
How high that mountain is, I guess even the old ape can't tell what will be on it?
Lin Xi said: "The seniors should be able to see that I have the breathing method, and I am not a monk, let alone those skills to control the clouds and fog, so I can't go up at all." ”
The old ape said coldly: "It doesn't matter if you can't go up or not, just cultivate well in the next life." ”
He did not hide the consequences of speaking directly.
Lin Xi responded: "I didn't say that I can't go up, but I want to make a deal that won't lose money." ”
The old ape looked at the young man in front of him, and was puzzled in his heart, so many people and demons had come in, but they had never talked to him about the conditions, the young man's words seemed to make the old ape's heart move, and he wanted to know for a while.
Lin Xi saw that the old ape no longer spoke against it, and said calmly: "I want to worship my predecessors as teachers." ”
This sentence was not something that Lin Xi suddenly thought of, he had thought about many things before entering the cave, including this one.
The old ape plucked out his ears with his remaining arm to make sure he heard correctly, and he sneered: "The little baby of the human race worships the demon clan as a teacher? The old ape didn't continue, and smiled, "Maybe you can do it elsewhere, but I can't take you as an apprentice." ”
For a while, the old ape thought that this kid was interesting.
"What about the human race and the demon race? I just want to be able to control my own destiny after I go out, and it makes me very uncomfortable to be looked down upon by others all the time. Lin Xi Zhengse.
When Liu Ye gave him the wooden card, he had already made up his mind to embark on the path of cultivation, and he was worried about by the Chu side and calculated by those people in the Autumn Moon Pavilion, all because he was too weak, so he could only be slaughtered by them.
Lin Xi said again: "If the seniors really don't agree, I still hope that the seniors will give you some guidance, even if the juniors can't climb that mountain, it's enough." ”
The corners of the old ape's mouth rose and said, "Interesting little baby, even if you don't mention it, I will show you something, but when the time comes, you don't want to be like those people before." ”
Lin Xi nodded, "No." ”
The figure of the old ape slowly disappeared, and before leaving, he said: "You go to the bottom of the mountain first to have a look and then talk to me, and the rest of the nonsense can be left in your stomach." ”
But the next moment, the figure of the old ape appeared on the branches of the towering tree, and he asked, "What do you say is your name?"
Lin Xi raised his head and saluted, "My name is Lin Xi." ”
After passing through the jungle was a large flat area with nothing on it. Moreover, Lin Xi noticed that the farther away from the big tree, the thinner the aura around them became.
"It's really high, to be honest, I've never seen such a high mountain since I was so big. Lin Xi said with emotion.
I used to look at the cave and the towering trees, and I always felt that this mountain peak was very mysterious, but after approaching, I saw that it was really high, and it was almost a straight line that was not too oblique at a glance, and the vast stone wall made people feel a trace of awe.
It is more specific to say that it is a mountain peak, but it is more specific to say that it is a stone wall, and its surface is really not a single living thing until the clouds, not even a single weed can be seen, let alone the vines and trees that grow from the wall.
Cold, ruthless were the four words that Lin Xi thought of for the first time.
How many people have climbed this mountain before him, and how many have died on it?
Lin Xi shook his head and said to himself, "What is this old ape senior going to do?" He stopped speaking slowly, and did not continue, since people have magical powers that penetrate the heavens and the earth, then talking behind others may be heard.
The only thing that made Lin Xi feel a little more was that he didn't have to hide it, and the old ape didn't seem to be interested in breathing.
This is a place to nourish the spirit, a steady stream of spiritual energy is available for his own use, and to be honest, Lin Xi also wants to know the extreme of his breathing method.
"One last time, of course, you'll have to give it a go. Lin Xi laughed at himself, his eyes flashed and became extremely resolute, he looked carefully at the stone wall, looking for some places to stay.
Lin Xi found a few places to stay, and the breathing method worked, this time Lin Xi could clearly feel the aura brought from all directions, since it was not his own aura, then he had no scruples.
Wisps of aura floated from the position of the towering tree, constantly replenishing the aura in Lin Xi's body, Lin Xi didn't try it in a hurry, he was inducting, sensing these different aura.
These auras are not just a part, almost all of them are incomparably pure!
They didn't belong to anyone, even if Lin Xi was borrowing them now, but these spiritual qi had not changed in nature, and they were communicating with the well in Lin Xi's body from time to time.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a strange spiritual power outside the wellhead blocking it, maybe Lin Xi could really say that the wellhead would break through and let the vibrant spring water appear in the well.
When Lin Xi recovered his aura before, he tried to break through the wellhead, but he was blocked by that spiritual power. The current result is still the same, the difference is that he can let a part of the spiritual energy and that spiritual power stalemate in his body, and prevent that spiritual power from continuing to spread.
"Whew. The aura outside Lin Xi's body appeared, and several figures were reversed, and he had already climbed the stone wall for more than ten steps, but it was only within twenty steps that Lin Xi returned to the ground again, and he looked at the towering stone wall and thought a little.
After more than a dozen steps, there was no other foothold, and the stone wall was extremely tough, Lin Xi once kicked it hard in the jump, and he didn't even lift a little dust.
It didn't take long for Lin Xi to return to the towering tree.
"How?" said the white-eyed old ape coldly, as if he didn't care about the young man's return, and as if he had expected it, the old ape squinted his eyes and looked straight at the mountain peak, in his eyes, the word "pardon" in the clouds on the mountainside had always been there.
Lin Xi smiled bitterly: "Senior, I'm not a monk and can't fly the clouds, so naturally I can't go up." ”
Before Lin Xi finished speaking, the old ape pulled back his gaze and said coldly, "Then why are you coming back?"
In addition to the towering trees, there was only the voice of the old ape left around Lin Xi, and Lin Xi naturally couldn't see where others were, but the young man always looked ahead and said respectfully: "Please give me some advice." ”
A figure appeared on the towering tree, and the old ape reached Lin Xi with a slight step, he pressed his hat down and said, "The little baby of the human race is called the senior of the demon clan? But since we are now in the same boat, we might as well leave it like this." ”
The old ape used the only remaining arm to be slightly too high, and a little beam of light went straight into Lin Xi's mind, the young man was in a trance, and some scenes appeared before this beam disappeared.
Lin Xi clearly saw the spiritual power in his body, the direction of all the spiritual energy, and the wellhead that was already in tatters on the outside......
"Senior, this is ......" Lin Xi came back to his senses and wanted to get an answer.
The old ape said, "You are not a monk and you can't see with your divine sense, but I just helped you, so it's time for me to ask you." ”
Lin Xi nodded and said: "The spiritual energy in my body is vigorous, but it is not my own, and I can't use it, and my own spiritual energy is locked by that spiritual power, and I can't use it, and I am not a monk, and the wellmouth is still in tatters." ”
Go on. ”
Lin Xi sighed and said: "I am already a porcelain that is about to break, and it is still not a cure for sewing and repairing, and my predecessors don't know how to guide me." ”
The old ape shouted angrily, "Boy, do you really think you're close to me? If no one else has come in for decades, what do you think you'd do? ”
The old ape walked up to Lin Xi and continued: "I don't like the human race, but it's not a grudge, I saw it all when you climbed the mountain, and a dozen steps is already very powerful for you, but it's a pity that the road above is not something you can walk now, you must need a little help." ”
Lin Xi understood that if he hadn't been lucky enough to take a dozen steps, maybe he wouldn't even have a chance to speak now.
The pros and cons only depend on your situation, not your heart.
If Lin Xi hadn't been dismantled, the aura in his body would have been exhausted before entering this cave.
Come in, if you can't get out, then take advantage of the situation, Lin Xi really wants to learn something from the old ape now, he knows who you are in this world?
If you don't have some means, you deserve to be bullied, Lin Xi didn't think much about it in the town, but now he asks himself if it's still this reason.
"Senior, if I can climb the mountain and go out, there is one more thing I hope you can agree to. Lin Xi said suddenly.
The old ape snorted.
"I want to know what a monk is and what a monk does. ”
The question reminded the old ape of some of the past, some of the things he wasn't here yet.
Lin Xi: The old ape was a little at a loss, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses, and he was a little reluctant to kill him.
"Monk, I can tell you right now, it's just some self-deceptive people, what are they doing? ”
This sentence was obviously coping, but Lin Xi still said politely: "It's troublesome senior." ”
The old ape raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him and said slowly: "But this is what I think, as the saying goes, justice is in the hearts of the people, so what is not in the hearts of the people? Spiegel is not just a platform. ”
The mirror is not a platform, the mirror reflects the heart.
The mirror is just a thought, right and wrong are only in one word.
Lin Xi, who was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, seemed to understand, and said silently: "Monk? ”
