Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Corner
"Damn, I know something is wrong. I thought it was Yin Xing who asked him to come over, and after a long time, there was a heavenly general! In the future, everyone has to cheer up...... "Pushing open the door of the main hall, the monkey saw Shaoying leisurely sipping tea at a glance, and the originally open voice weakened suddenly.
The expressions were all frozen.
The same happened to the group of companions who followed him.
Xuanye and White Frost were sitting at the other end of the low table, each holding a cup of tea.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
The monkey's eyes were rolling bonely, as if he didn't understand what was going on, but Shaoying spoke first, pointed to the futon on the side and said, "Sit down." ”
"Huh. The monkey answered, bowed and walked cautiously. That gaze kept glancing at Xuan Ye.
This back-and-forth interaction looks like Shaoying is the master and the monkey is the guest.
I only heard Shaoying say softly: "You can't practice like that, it's easy to go crazy." These exercises themselves are not suitable for you to practice now. If you have anything to ask, just go to the three-star cave of the slanting moon and come to me. ”
Saying this, the monkey couldn't help but look at Shaoying with wide eyes.
The companions behind him also froze one by one. The next moment is overflowing with joy.
......
In the attic, Yin De and Zhu Gangguan sat quietly opposite each other, and Yin Xing and the middle-aged Taoist priest sat on the side.
I saw Yin De slowly brewing a cup of tea, pushing it in front of Zhu Gangguan, and said, "Taste it." ”
Picking up the teacup, Zhu Gangguan took a sip silently, and his eyes were still quietly glancing towards the middle-aged Taoist priest.
Although it has been thawed through magic, it is only a mortal in the end, and it is already a great injury to the vitality of the frozen and then thawed. The whole body couldn't help shaking, and his spirit was sluggish, and he only lowered his head slightly, and looked at Zhu Gangguan cautiously with a pair of eyes open.
"Good tea. With a faint sigh, Zhu Gangguan put the tea cup in his hand back on the table.
"Tea must be good tea, both the door is a guest, I Wuzhuang view, naturally treat each other with courtesy. Looking at the slightly steaming tea, Yin De said softly: "However, guests, there should be the appearance of guests." ”
Brother Dao seemed to mean something. Pig Gang raised an eyebrow.
Hearing this, Yin De couldn't help laughing and said, "Master, his old man is in retreat, and these five villages are taken care of by Yin De." A few days ago, what the general did, Yin De won't say. Today's move seems to be a bit excessive. Here, after all, it is Wuzhuang Temple. ”
"Is it excessive?" Pig Gang glanced at the Taoist priest.
With just one glance, the Taoist priest was so frightened that he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Not too much!
"It's really not too much?" said Pig Gang frowned.
"It's really not too much!" the Taoist priest was so frightened that he bowed down all his head, ringing his head one after another. The heart of death is gone.
"It's good not to overdo it. Only then did Zhu Gangguan take that gaze back, and his face was calm.
Seeing this, Yin De could only sigh helplessly and said, "General, what's the trouble with this?"
"The two colleagues of the last general, who have a bright future, have fallen here inexplicably. The last general also wanted to know why. ”
"So, the general wants to avenge his colleague? Poor Dao can tell you right away where the crocodile spirit that killed your colleague is. ”
"Not really. Zhu Gang said leisurely: "When to take revenge, how to revenge, this matter will be decided." The last general just has to carry out the order. ”
Hearing this, Yin De let out an "oh", looked like he suddenly realized, and said softly: "So, what the general wants is the head of the demons of Xuanyin Temple?"
Zhu Gangguan leaned forward slightly, tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, and said, "To be precise, it is the human head of the white bone spirit and the stone monkey." It used to be a simple thing, but now, things have become complicated. The last general is also very difficult. ”
As he spoke, he turned his face to look at Yin Xing.
Yin Xing on the side sat motionless, lowered his eyebrows slightly, and did not say a word.
Yin De nodded, stroked his long beard and said, "Understood." However, those monsters have already entered the door of Xuanyin Temple. If there is no reason, even if it is poor, it can't be managed. The general's behavior today is too ugly. In this way, whether it is Heavenly Court or my Wuzhuang View, the face is not very good-looking. ”
When this sentence came out, Yin Xingcai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Not only Yin Xing, but also the Taoist priest also breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing this, Zhu Gangguan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
......
Sending Shaoying to the door, the monkey was already smiling, scratching his ears and cheeks.
"Thank you, teacher...... Uncle Shi!"
"It's okay to call Senior Brother. Shaoying gently patted the monkey's shoulder.
All the monsters were smiling, but Xuanye was vigilant and looked at Shaoying with wide eyes.
Looking at Shaoying's distant back, the monkey couldn't believe it.
What I couldn't win before, now it's so inexplicable.
"Why did he suddenly change his mind? Didn't he beat us up before?"
"How do I know, you ask me?"
"Brother Monkey, do you know?"
"I don't know. The monkey grinned and shook his head.
"Brother Monkey, are you going to continue cultivating next?"
"What else to repair? Sleep!" the monkey shook his head, and turned his head back with a big grin: "Sleep, sleep, sleep! Raise your spirits, and go directly to the three-star cave of the slanting moon tomorrow!"
All the youkai followed and walked back happily.
Soon, only Xuanye and hoarfrost were left at the door.
Xuan Ye frowned and pouted.
"What's wrong?" asked White Frost.
"Nope. Xuan Ye shook his head, thought about it, and suddenly shouted: "I'll go with you tomorrow for the teacher!"
So saying, he spread his feet and followed.
......
The main hall of the three-star cave of the oblique moon.
A lone lamp, Su Bodhi was still lying on the low table as usual writing something, and he was wearing a thick cotton jacket.
Every now and then, two coughs.
Kneeling on the other side of the table, Shao Ying said softly: "Master, the disciple promised the stone monkey today to teach him the exercises. ”
"Take him as an apprentice?"
"The disciple is not proficient in his arts, so he doesn't dare. ”
"Oh. Su Bodhi stroked his long beard and glanced up at Shaoying: "Why is that?"
After a moment of silence, Shao Ying said softly: "The disciple saw the Heavenly General who was chasing him today, and he turned into a god realm. At least the Golden Immortal cultivation is a little higher than the disciple. ”
"And then?"
The disciple remembered what happened before he entered the teacher's door. Saying that, Shaoying couldn't help but smile faintly, and said, "It seems that the disciple has been comfortable for so long that he has forgotten how to survive the little demon......
Saying this, Su Bodhi couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and said, "I have seen many, many people and demons for my teacher. No matter what kind of root it is, there are times when you are young and vigorous. I feel that as long as there is an opportunity, I can do better than anyone else. But what about the reality? The reality is...... When they get to where they always wanted, they forget the way they came from and become the people they hated in the first place. ”
With that, Su Bodhi raised his head slightly, staring at his apprentice kneeling in front of him.
Shaoying bowed deeply and said, "Disciple, remember the master's teachings. ”
Su Bodhi sighed lightly, and then said, "Teach." But in addition to teaching the exercises, don't forget the virtues. Otherwise, there is talent and no virtue, but it is just a scourge. ”
......
"The method of cultivation is the Tao, and the second is the Buddha. The exercises in the three-star cave of the oblique moon are all Taoist. ”
Walking in the Scripture Pavilion, Shaoying explained to the monkey in detail. The monkey followed closely, followed by a lone black leaf.
This time, he directly opened the windows for lighting, although it was not bright, but it was not as deep as it used to be. It's like the mood of a monkey at the moment.
"Taoism has two veins, one is the Tao of the Enlightened, and the other is the Tao of the Walker. ”
"Those who cultivate the 'Tao of the Enlightened', peek into the mysteries of heaven and earth, and practice the methods of alchemy, divination, and smelting, it takes a hundred years to achieve success, so the mind is extremely important. Those who practice the 'path of practitioners' can tap their own potential, understand the number of changes, and be good at soliciting, and can achieve success in a few years, but they have requirements for qualifications. ”
"Senior brother, is he practicing the path of the practitioner or the path of the enlightened?" the monkey asked.
"Walker Road. Shaoying replied softly.
"Then I am also a cultivator. ”
"If you are a practitioner, your qualifications are excellent. However, you have to choose carefully. Fit is the most important thing. ”
"Which one is good at fighting?"
"Of course, it's the Waywalker's Way. ”
"That's still the Wayfarer's Way. ”
Hearing this, Shaoying couldn't help laughing.
Behind him, Genye's brows were furrowed.
"The way of the walker is the way of the walker. Actually, I originally wanted to persuade you to cultivate the path of the enlightened one. The walker is nothing more than charging into battle, for the general, in the final analysis, it is the work of licking blood from the edge of the knife. Cultivating immortals is far more than just fighting. There's many, many more things to do. ”
"What else?" asked the monkey.
Shaoying pursed her lips and thought about it, and said, "If you have a chance, you can go to the demon capital with me." The demon cultivator who is good at alchemy and smelting, that is the market of the court, after all, the precious elixir, the magic weapon of the hand, that is what everyone wants. Many practitioners work hard for the enlightened Dao, and what they are asking for may be just a much-needed elixir. With this craft, it is even easier to accumulate wealth, and naturally it can also call for wind and rain. ”
"As for the art of divination and calculation, although it is the most difficult, if you learn it, you will be a great talent in heaven and earth, and it is not a problem to scheming and tricking. No matter how good you can fight, he doesn't need to let you see him, and he can put you to death. ”
After thinking about it, the monkey finally shook his head and said, "I still think it's important to be able to fight, and the key is to learn quickly." ”
"Okay, just learn the way of the Walker. This way. With that, Shaoying had already taken the monkey around the corner into a narrow alley and began to look for it on the bookshelf.
Xuan Ye, who walked at the end, pouted, frowned tightly, and muttered in a low voice: "What is this? Cultivating immortals is not for wealth, but for fighting?
However, it was only a whisper. Even if he said it out loud, the monkey and Shaoying probably wouldn't bother with him.
I had no choice but to fold my hands and continue to follow.
......
In the kitchen of Wuzhuang Temple, two Taoist disciples brought bags of rice from the airport and piled them up.
One of the disciples took out a bag and set it aside.
After the two Taoist disciples left, the middle-aged Taoist priest sneaked in, untied the rice bag, and sprinkled white powder on it. It's over and quickly slips away.
......
Only Yin De and Zhu Gangguan were left in the attic, and the two of them watched the sneaky Taoist priest from afar.
"In this way, it will not damage the face of Wuzhuang Guan, nor will it damage the harmony between you and Brother Yin Xingdao, and the general will be able to complete the task again. I don't know, what does Brother Dao think?"
Silently stroked his long beard, for a long time, Yin De sighed lightly: "Very good." ”
