Chapter 123: Decay
The word fate is sometimes really mysterious. Of course, not all fates are good, for example, he and Mu Qing are bad fates.
Because when Ji Yu was a human being, he was very comfortable most of the time, and the few times he was deflated, almost all of them were related to Mu Qing. He has sometimes comforted himself with the fact that life cannot be smooth sailing, but in fact he still has some resentment in his heart.
Of course, there was also a beautiful moment between them and Mu Qing, that is, when they were drinking on the bank of the river.
But other than that, there are no other good memories.
In addition to thinking about these things in an instant, Ji Xiao also grasped a key point and said, "You mean she has a flaw?"
The Heavenly Demon Patriarch said flatly: "Otherwise, why do you think I would value you, because the Heavenly Demon Qi in your body is part of her origin." ”
Ji Xiao couldn't help but say: "But when I got the Heavenly Demon Qi, there was only a trace of it. ”
The Heavenly Demon Patriarch sneered: "At the beginning of the opening up of heaven and earth, it was just a chicken, since it was the origin, how could there be too much. When a baby is in its mother's womb, it is not much bigger than a palm, but when it is an adult, it is bigger than a hundred palms. So this trace is enough for her. ”
Ji Xiao was sneered at by the Heavenly Demon Patriarch, but he was not angry, he would not only be ashamed to ask, but also brave to ask, he said: "Even if it is as you say, how can I defeat her with this?"
After listening to the words of the Heavenly Demon Patriarch, he knew that the key to defeating Mu Qing was actually in himself, and it was Mu Qing himself who created this key.
He knew that it was impossible for Mu Qing not to understand this, so he wondered why Mu Qing did this.
The Heavenly Demon Patriarch said, "You don't suspect that I have ulterior motives now. ”
He has seen too much of the world, and he can see through Ji Xiao's careful thinking before him at a glance. He knew very well that Ji Xiao had been guarding against him all along. Well, in fact, he does have a calculation for Ji Xiao.
Ji Xiao may have been in contact with Miaose and close to Zhu Zechi, so his face was a lot thicker, and his expression did not change: "The younger generation has never doubted the seniors, and I haven't cultivated according to the Heavenly Demon Sutra." ”
Speaking of which, he was quite arrogant. Although he practiced the Heavenly Demon Sutra, there were more or less passive reasons, but after all, he still practiced.
The Heavenly Demon Patriarch said, "I'll tell you the truth, the way to defeat Mu Qing is to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Sutra. ”
Ji Xiao was almost choked by this answer, and said, "I see that there are not many heavy realms in the Heavenly Demon Sutra, so how far does it take to cultivate to be considered successful?"
The Heavenly Demon Patriarch said leisurely: "If you surpass Mu Qing, you will be considered a success." ”
Ji Xiao smiled bitterly: "Aren't you talking nonsense, if I practice any exercises, as long as I surpass her, can't I defeat her?"
The Dharma Master had some understanding, and he hit the nail on the head and said: "The old monk understands, Mu Zhenzi Daoyou, your Heavenly Demon Qi comes from this Mu Qing, and your two origins are the same, just like two pools next to each other, one is full of water, and the other is not yet large. But if another pool grows and the water level exceeds the previous one, it will naturally cover the other pool, and the two pools will become one. ”
The Heavenly Demon Patriarch said: "Yes, this is the only way to erase her from the world, otherwise you will cultivate to the realm of immortals and Buddhas, and you will not want to destroy her, if you can't destroy her, you can't defeat her." ”
Ji Xiao secretly slandered himself, wouldn't this make him and Mu Qing one.
He didn't want to refute, so he said: "Master's metaphor is very refreshing, but I can't guarantee how far I can cultivate the Heavenly Demon Sutra, unless you have a way to let me improve quickly." ”
The Heavenly Demon Patriarch smiled and said, "As long as you collect starlight and cultivate night and night, you will be able to surpass her in less than twenty years." ”
Ji Xiao said lightly: "It seems that the seniors have a clear understanding of my details." ”
The Heavenly Demon Patriarch said leisurely: "It's just a little bit of knowledge, at least I can't figure out what your origin is now." ”
Ji Xiao said: "Maybe I don't have any background at all, but you think about it too much." ”
Heavenly Demon Patriarch said: "I really hope so, do you know that I once disguised myself as worshipping in the Yixiang Sect and learned their calculus all over the place, except for the current sect master of the Yixiang Sect, I guarantee that no one in the world can compete with me in terms of magic, but I still can't figure out your roots." ”
Ji Xiao's heart sank, he didn't expect that even the Heavenly Demon Patriarch would look up to Xiang Tianyi, the sect leader of the Yixiang Sect. Although he already knew roughly that the Heavenly Demon Patriarch couldn't find out his details, the other party admitted it himself, which still made him breathe a sigh of relief.
He replied with a flat face: "It turns out that you still have many glorious deeds in your predecessors, have you also become a woman, worshiped the Lingfei Sect, and even entered the Taiqing Dao." ”
Heavenly Demon Patriarch said: "Among the five factions, I have only been to the Heavenly Master Sect and the Yixiang Sect, as for the three factions of Taixuan, Lingfei, and Taiqing, I have not snooped on them for some reasons. ”
Ji Xiao said: "It turns out that there are still places you can't go." ”
The Heavenly Demon Patriarch smiled slightly: "Do you think that I have lived a long time, so I have tried everything, and there are some rules that I have to abide by." And when you live for a thousand years, you will know how painful it is to live in this world, and it is not a good thing to live a long life. ”
The Dharma Master knew the reason for his words, nodded and said, "Heavenly Demon Daoist, you should have been plagued by "decay" for a long time. “
Ji Xiao said: "What is 'decline'?"
"It's easy for a monk to live for a few hundred years, but it's very difficult to live for a thousand years. To be precise, the limit of the life span of a monk in the world is 800 years old, and ascending to the Immortal Realm can break this limit, but it will not exceed a thousand years old, and if it is exceeded, it will encounter decline. The monks of our temple once speculated that there were once immortals and Buddhas in the world, but because of the decline, they all fell. ”
The Heavenly Demon Patriarch said: "Yes, the first generation of Dharma Master of Nalanda Temple should be the first group of declining monks to come into contact with after the first demon tribulation. It's just that they still can't escape the mystery of the womb, so although each generation of Dharma Master is the afterlife of the previous generation of Dharma Master, they are actually two different people. ”
The Venerable Master smiled and said, "Heavenly Demon Daoist Fellow actually knows such secrets, could it be that you also worshiped our Nalanda Temple a long time ago?"
The Heavenly Demon Patriarch smiled faintly and said, "Your extracorporeal incarnation method of the Nalanda Temple is what I have perfected. ”
The Dharma Master was slightly startled, he was just joking casually, but he didn't expect that this Heavenly Demon Patriarch had really sneaked into Nalanda Temple to practice, and the Dharma Master couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I should now regard you as a senior, or as a person with bad intentions." ”
The Heavenly Demon Patriarch said: "It's better that you don't have such a thing, not to mention that although I have lived for more than nine thousand years, I am not far from real death." ”
