Chapter 22: Back on the Mountain
Zhang Tiansheng was surprised when he saw the yellowed book that the other party was holding at random, and he only looked at the old man and said, "You are ......"
"My name is Lin Guangyan, and if nothing else, I should be the only surviving ancestor in this pure view. Lin Guangyan did not hide it, and handed out the Jingjing Sutra in his hand.
Zhang Tiansheng took the scripture and flipped it back and forth a few times, only to feel old and dilapidated, as if it had been turned by many people many times, sticky and dirty.
"Are you the Pure View Ancestor?" Zhang Tiansheng closed the book and asked with raised eyebrows.
"Yes. ”
"Then what kind of beggar are you pretending to beggar, and you trick me into eating......? Don't immortals don't need to eat?" Zhang Tiansheng was very dissatisfied, because that meal was originally intended to be sent to his brothers.
"You don't need to put it aside first, it's one thing to think about it or not, right?" Lin Guangyan laughed, revealing a mouthful of scattered teeth again.
"Since you don't need to, what else do you want?" Zhang Tiansheng muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. The old ancestor Lin Guangyan stood up, the sound of "oops" in his mouth continued, holding his waist, really like an old man in his last years.
"The wooden sign is still there, right?" he continued.
Zhang Tiansheng nodded, untied the wooden card from his waist, and handed it out.
Lin Guangyan didn't take it, just glanced at it and nodded, and left, saying as he walked: "I originally thought that you could use this brand to successfully pass the entrance assessment of the Pure View Concept, but I didn't expect such a big variable, I have seen you from beginning to end, and I can see your every action clearly." ”
Zhang Tiansheng became nervous again, he knew what happened to his body, he had always been conscious, but he did ignore this old beggar at that time, thinking that he was just an ordinary person.
"You don't have to be nervous. The old man chuckled and explained, "The reincarnation of the Demon Venerable is not what you want. ”
Zhang Tiansheng squinted, and countless ways to deal with this matter turned in his mind, and at the same time said, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? I want to save you! You better put away the murderous aura on your body, you can't kill me at all. Lin Guangyan chuckled lightly, it seemed that Zhang Tiansheng didn't want to kill him, but wanted to give him a gift for his thousand-year-old birthday, and he was a little happy.
The young man woke up suddenly, and he found that he didn't know when he had started, and he had unconsciously taken killing people as the first solution to solve the problem, which was really not good, because killing people was bad.
So, he bowed his head and followed the old man only on the grass and in the woods.
"That's right!" the old ancestor was very pleased, and praised with a smile, "In the future, I will teach you." ”
"What?"
"Practice, and the Sutra of Tranquility. ”
"Oh. ”
"Fang Tiangang has just laid nine seals in your body, in order to seal the power of the Demon Venerable in your body, when your cultivation realm reaches a certain level, the corresponding seals will be unlocked, this is so that you can have a greater grasp of fighting against this power, of course, because of the existence of the seal, your progress will be extremely slow at the beginning, you don't have to be anxious. Lin Guangyan took Zhang Tiansheng to a stream and stood still.
"Fang Tiangang?"
"Yes. ”
"He's coming?"
"I was in a hurry, and I left again. ”
"Oh. ”
Suddenly, a strong wind rose out of nowhere, as if it was born from under Zhang Tiansheng's feet, and directly lifted him into the stream in front of him, the stream was not deep, but it could just submerge him into the water, and his whole body was soaked, very embarrassed.
"What the hell!" the boy grumbled, rising from the water, spitting out a mouthful of water.
"You take a shower first, you're covered in sweat and smell of blood. Lin Guangyan said casually and sat down on the spot.
"How can I wash while you're sitting here?" Zhang Tiansheng shouted dissatisfied.
"Why can't you wash it? I've seen a child as big as you take a bath I don't know how many times!" said this, Lin Guangyan actually lay down on the spot, and couldn't leave.
The young man was helpless, because his own body was indeed very dirty, and there was a disgusting smell of blood, and he couldn't do it without washing, so he simply closed his eyes and heart, stripped naked and washed!
The lawn was very soft, Lin Guangyan was very comfortable, and he was also a little surprised, he could see that there were nine black seals on Zhang Tiansheng's back, and the seals were red, but they only turned black because of the black gas.
As soon as the black-clothed night brocade took off, the young man's sleek body was exposed to the air, and at a glance it was actually black gas rising, although it was not obvious, but if there was great power, I was afraid that he would be punished with demons on the spot and killed by thunder.
Another gust of wind blew and blew up the night brocade that was casually thrown on the shore, and when it fell again, there was no moisture at all.
The young man couldn't see the nine seals on his back, let alone the black gas emanating from his body, so he went out of the water and went ashore after hastily washing it, and when he picked up the clothes, he realized that it had been completely dried.
The old man Lin Guangyan patted the lawn beside him and motioned for Zhang Tiansheng to lie there.
"It is said that after nine days is the day to open the door and accept disciples, but you are a special case, so don't go to the boring entrance ceremony, I will take you to the front mountain to walk around, recognize the road, meet people, and then you will eat and live with those outer disciples to practice, and after the morning class every day, come to me, I will teach you something. Lin Guangyan whispered.
"Good. Zhang Tiansheng nodded.
"You have no problem?" the old man wondered at the young man's chance.
"There are a lot of them. ”
"Let's talk about it. ”
"If I am really the reincarnation of the Demon Venerable, I think it is more convenient to kill me, why are you going to such great lengths to help me?" The young man seemed random, but this was the biggest problem in his heart.
"Although you are the reincarnation of the Demon Venerable, but now, you are just an ordinary teenager. Lin Guangyan said that this was a collusion between him and Fang Tiangang a long time ago.
"Splitting the blood array and killing that ghost-like person is all done by an ordinary teenager?" Zhang Tiansheng lifted the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, except for me and Fang Tiangang, no one knows, so you are still an ordinary teenager. Lin Guangyan's face was also very relaxed, as if he was talking to this young man about ordinary family routines, and the monstrous smell of blood seemed to be washed away by the stream.
"It's more than that, isn't it?" the boy asked.
Lin Guangyan didn't speak, and turned his head to look at the top of the young man's head.
"What are you looking at?"
"It's nothing, just thinking, how can a child as transparent and intelligent as you be a beggar?"
"I've always been a beggar. ”
Because it has always been, so it is, because so, very reasonable.
"But I haven't been able to learn it for decades. "The old man seemed to be very sorry.
"You are a fairy and a bone, admired by thousands of people, what kind of beggar do you learn because you are too boring?" Zhang Tiansheng felt sour in his heart, feeling that this old man really intended to stimulate him.
"There are all kinds of people in this world, birth, old age, sickness and death, food, clothing, housing and transportation, everyone is different, and each has its own fun, I think beggars are very good, relaxed and casual, and do not take two or two responsibilities. Lin Guangyan said softly.
"So you became a beggar to avoid responsibility?"
"Hmm...... Perhaps, but partly because I was worried about a lot of last resort. The old man thought about it and said.
"The ancestors of the Pure View also have a last resort?"
"If there is a concern, there is naturally a last resort. ”
"Yes. Zhang Tiansheng agreed.
"If one day, you have to admit your identity as the reincarnation of the Demon Venerable in front of the world, what should you do?" Lin Guangyan asked.
"I don't think I have such a last resort, I won't admit it, I just want to be an ordinary person, just let me die of old age. Zhang Tiansheng said casually.
Lin Guangyan seemed to be satisfied, or maybe he was unimpressed, anyway, he chuckled, piled up the folds on his face, and closed his eyes.
Fortunately, there is still breathing, otherwise Zhang Tiansheng would even think that he is dead.
It was noon, and the sun was very hot, but fortunately, there were many willow trees in the mountain behind the clean, which blocked the sun and did not sting the skin.
There is no one around, it seems that there is only this old and one small in the whole back mountain, it is very quiet, except for the chirping of insects and birds, there is only the murmuring of the stream, quiet, comfortable and comfortable.
After a long period of tranquility, the old man, who was still dressed as a beggar, suddenly woke up after a sleep, pushed Zhang Tiansheng beside him, and said: "Oh yes, don't touch the seal on your body, there is not only the power of the Demon Venerable, but also the power of the blood array at that time, once it breaks out, I am afraid that you will be lost in an instant." ”
Zhang Tiansheng's heart tightened, and he remembered the pair of blood pupils he had seen before he opened his eyes.
