Chapter 15 - First encounter with the demon beast

On this day, Li Wan brought Li Xiuyuan and Li Xiuxin to Elder Wenzhu and said to them, "I have already discussed with Elder Wen, and you two will recuperate at home first."

When Elder Wen takes care of the affairs of the city, you will go to the Righteous Qi Academy with Elder Wen to practice. Now the city is full of murderous machines, and the dark tide is surging. You go to the Zhengqi Academy, and the talents of the Zeng family dare not act rashly.

When you arrive at the academy, it's no better than at home, don't make trouble for Elder Wen. ”

Wen Zhu didn't wait for the two children to answer, and said first: "Brother Li, don't worry, I have enlightened the relationship and the mind, and they are also the cultivation qualifications that I tested." When they come to the Zhengqi Academy, when I am familiar with Mr. Drunken Mo and enter the academy, they are all considered my disciples, and they are the same generation as many monks in the foundation building period, so you don't have to worry about them suffering. ”

Li Wan hurriedly thanked him and said, "Then I will thank Brother Wen first!"

At this time, Li Xiuyuan opened his mouth and asked, "Ask Elder Wen, what I am cultivating is not the exercises of the Righteous Qi Academy, can I also go to the academy to practice?"

Elder Wenzhu said with a smile: "Our academy has always judged the level by literary brilliance, and does not talk about success or failure based on cultivation. There are even a few literary masters in the academy who are just mortals, and many of them are scholars with art investment teachers.

So when you were five years old, I knew that you couldn't cultivate, but I could still take you to the academy to practice, and that's why. You don't have to worry about that. ”

Li Xiuyuan replied, "Thank you, Elder Wen, for taking care of you!"

Li Wan saw that Li Xiuyuan had finished asking the question, and said, "Xiuxin, is there anything you want to ask?" The iceberg beauty was worthy of the name of the iceberg, shook her head and didn't say a word.

Seeing that the two of them had no more questions, Li Wan waved his hand: "Since this is the case, you have no objections, then when you recover from your injuries, you can go to the Righteous Qi Academy with Elder Wen." ”

......

One day a month later, Li Xiuyuan and Li Xiuxin followed Elder Wen to the Zhengqi Academy. Because he was afraid that his mother would be sad, Li Xiuyuan didn't tell her on the day he set off.

I just left a letter on the table, thinking that when my mother saw the letter, I was already in the Zhengqi Academy, practicing with Elder Wen.

Along the way, Li Xiuyuan and Elder Wen talked about a lot of strange things in the Xuanling Continent. Elder Wenzhu greatly admired Li Xiuyuan's erudition and talent, and said that no matter what, he would accept Li Xiuyuan as his personal disciple after returning to the academy.

Li Xiuyuan also learned a lot of gossip from Elder Wenzhu. Mr. Zuimmo, the head of the Zhengqi Academy, and Mr. Sansheng, the deputy head of the Academy, are both great monks who have attained the perfection of the Dan.

This Mr. Drunken Mo was fond of drinking, and once he was drunk at night, and the next day the students of the academy saw that he did not come to the school to give a lecture, so they went to look for him at his residence.

Unexpectedly, Mr. was drunk at night, so he got up and drank the ink as water. When the students found their home, my husband was still asleep. Mouth full of ink.

That's why I got the title of Mr. Drunken Ink. Far from being annoyed, he was proud. As a literati, wouldn't it be a great pleasure to be able to get drunk in ink?

What's more, other people's "a belly of ink" is just an exaggeration, and this is "a real ▪ belly of ink".

And the title Mr. Three Provinces was a little indecent at first.

Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but wonder: "'Seek for others but not be loyal, make friends but not believe, and pass on but not get used to it?' What is indecent about these three provinces?"

Elder Wenzhu held back a smile and whispered to Li Xiuyuan about the origin of this name. It turned out that Mr. Sansheng heard Zengzi's "three provinces and my body" and thought so. So he called himself "Three Provinces of Japan".

There is nothing wrong with the name itself, at first the students respectfully called him "Mr. Day", but no matter how you listen to it, it seems that there is some disrespect for him. Later, he was renamed "Mr. Three Provinces".

Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh with Elder Wenzhu. Li Xiuxin, who was not far away, secretly felt strange: "Sit down and talk about it, is it so funny?"

This iceberg beauty Li Xiuxin, most of the time along the way, continues to maintain her iceberg characteristics, except for necessary words, the rest of the time rarely speaks, exuding a chill from the inside out, if it is in the hot summer, it is a good air-conditioner person.

On the road, I walked leisurely for several days, and this Astronomical Bamboo Elder was talking about the "Xuanling Continent Chronicle" with Li Xiuyuan.

The two of them were talking about the fact that 17,000 years ago, the Nine Yuan Infants of the Righteous Path besieged the Demon Dao Holy Fire Sect, causing the last Great War of the Righteous Demon. Suddenly, I saw Elder Wenzhu make a silent gesture. Then he listened attentively.

Turning his head to Li Xiuyuan and Li Xiuxin, he said: "Today you two young people are blessed, thirty miles east of us, there is the voice of a demon beast, which just takes you to see and understand." ”

After speaking, he led the two of them to the east at a high speed. At tea time, the three of them came to a hill in the east and hid nearby.

After a while, I saw a demon beast shaped like a cow, but covered with spikes like a hedgehog, appeared in the field of vision. This monster beast also has half a human corpse in its mouth.

Seeing this, Elder Wenzhu took the treasure in his hand and attacked and killed the demon beast. Because he had never seen Elder Wen fighting with others, Li Xiuyuan only saw it for the first time today, and Elder Wen's magic weapon was a snow-white pen.

I saw that the pen was like a sharp sword off the string, with a burst of clear light straight into the throat of the demon beast.

The demon beast also reacted very quickly, letting go of the corpse in its mouth, curling its head up, and the spikes of its whole body clinging to its body. A dense piece of armor was formed.

Elder Wen's pen pierced the armor, but it didn't pass through his body, leaving only a white mark. But the demon beast had already been shocked to its inner abdomen, and its seven orifices were bleeding, this was the power of the righteous qi academy's knotted Dan stage cultivator, refining into a nine-point Haoran Qi.

Knowing that it was invincible, the demon beast turned and fled into the distance. I saw that Elder Wen pinched a law in his hand. He shouted: "Write down the wind and thunder!"

The pen was full of thunder and lightning, and instantly caught up with the strange monster beast, and the monster beast repeated its old tricks and used its spike armor to protect itself.

But this time it did not escape the pursuit of death. This pen was inserted from the back of the monster's head, and it flew out of its mouth, which had already pierced the monster through.

Elder Wen led the two of them to the corpse of the demon beast and said to the two: "This beast has a body like a cow, with the spikes of a hedgehog, a voice like a dog, and likes to eat people.

There are many more demon beasts like this, such as Kui Niu, Qi Qiang, Shengyu, etc., some of these demon beasts need us to eradicate, and some can be used as our talisman spirit beasts, you will slowly see them in your future cultivation experience.

The demon beasts on the Xuanling Continent rely on their innate physical advantages and generally have strong combat effectiveness. Basically, human cultivators whose realm is one order higher than them can be killed or subdued while ensuring their own safety.

The poor Qi we killed today is now the cultivation of the pinnacle of foundation building. The spikes and bones on its body can be sold for a good price in the market at the foot of the academy mountain, so put them away. ”

After dissecting the demon beast and putting away all the useful parts on its body, Elder Wen called the two of them to prepare to continue on their way. At this time, Li Xiuxin, who had barely said a word along the way, spoke.

She asked, "Elder Wen, this demon beast still has half a corpse in its mouth, obviously to bring it back to his companions or cubs, why don't we go and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots?"

Elder Wen replied, "We monks went into the deep mountains and Daze to hunt demon beasts, take furs, inner pills and other things, and refine magic weapons and pills. Demon beasts go down the mountains and go out to sea to hunt and kill humans for food.

This is the Heavenly Dao Cause and Effect Cycle. The half corpse encountered this poor qi before his death, and was killed and devoured by poor qi. This poor strange man met us again, and was killed by us, and his bones were taken, all of which were fateful.

But if we continue to pursue it, we will only increase the cause and effect for ourselves, and it will not do us any good. Only by the mandate of heaven can we seek good fortune and avoid evil, and ask for immortality. But if you provoke cause and effect, it must be a dead end. ”

After listening to Elder Wen's words, I don't know if Li Xiuxin understood it. Li Xiuyuan has a deep understanding, because the Buddhist "Transmission of the Heart" says: "The bodhisattva's heart is like a void, everything is giving, and all the good fortune is not greedy."

It tells us that the purest form of practice is to do all good deeds without any craving. It turns out that if all laws are one, in such a world where there is no word "Buddha", there is still Buddha's principle.

Then there was a peace in my heart, and I fell into an epiphany in an instant.
