Chapter 147: The Monk

"The Book of Beheading Corpses" is on Zhao Lingtai's body, whether the paper material is the same, he can know at a glance. And this book placed in the Holy City Xuan also belongs to the exercises, called "Treading Cloud Steps", it seems that it should be a secret book about the escape method, but it is sealed by a prohibition, and it cannot be read unless you buy it.

In addition to this book, everything else in the store is sealed with a prohibition, and customers can only wait and see when they come in, and they can't touch it, and if they want to buy it, the store will provide more detailed information.

Zhao Lingtai had no intention of buying "Treading the Clouds", and soon, he saw another book - in fact, it would be more appropriate to say that it was a fragment, only a few pages. The content is obscured and can't be seen clearly, but the material of the page is the same.

From this, it can be seen that this material is likely to be the main carrier used by the demon cultivators of the Holy City to record and write all kinds of exercises and secrets. It is not ordinary paper, it should belong to some kind of leather, or synthetic, refined by secret methods. It is extremely tough and not easy to destroy, and only in this way can it be better passed on.

Through the similarities in the material, Zhao Lingtai can make it clear that the "Corpse Cutting Sutra" was circulated from the ruins, but other than that, other information clues are gone.

The price of the things in the Holy City Xuan is very expensive, and each piece is marked with a sky-high price, Zhao Lingtai saw a black wooden stick, and it was actually marked below that he wanted to change a thousand-year-old ginseng medicine......

He had no need for these things, and he couldn't be the one to blame.

There were many people who went to the Holy City Xuan to browse and watch, but they were obviously frightened by the price above, so they had to say "look".

The shopkeeper who was guarding the shop was used to this, and he didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't even bother to say hello.

Zhao Lingtai took a turn inside, but found nothing else. He believed that there must have been a collection of more valuable ruin items in the store, but they were not released and needed specific customers to see them.

However, Zhao Lingtai didn't care about these, and after reading them, he left the Holy City Xuan. Continue to the next place of interest and hang out.

In this way, he stayed in Yunzhou City for three days, and basically turned around the huge city, which can be regarded as an in-depth understanding of the local customs. Although it seems that there is no gain, for him, what he sees and hears belongs to a kind of perception, bit by bit, accumulated, and in the end, it will turn into something useful.

Experience, in fact, is also part of the practice. On the road of cultivation, in addition to the key points of the exercises, in addition to fighting and killing, in addition to all kinds of utensils and resources, what you have seen and heard, etc., are hidden in life, and they are often not noticed and valued by people. But it will definitely affect the practice, and the subtle effect is usually inconspicuous, but once it occurs, it will produce unimaginable effects.

For example, demons!

Most of the demons in the heart come from the details of life.

Some cultivators who only know how to immerse themselves in penance and do not care about the affairs of the world tend to behave more vulnerable and vulnerable in the face of the advent of demons in their hearts. Because they have not experienced it, when they are in an illusion, they do not know how to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and it is easier to sink into it and cannot extricate themselves.

Therefore, in the cultivation world, the entry of disciples into the world and walking in the world is often an indispensable part of the experience.

Zhao Lingtai came to the ruins of the Holy City this time, firstly, to find the line of the follow-up chapter of the "Corpse Cutting Sutra", and secondly, it may not be a walking experience.

Seeing, hearing, and feeling belong to a term in the cultivation world, and it is often instilled in disciples in teaching classes, so that they can distinguish and pay attention to it in their lives, so as to improve their state of mind. However, many things are always said to be easy to do, but difficult to do, and there are not many people who can really see through the appearance of life. Basically, you have to cultivate to a certain level before you can get a glimpse of it.

On the fourth day, in the early morning, a cool breeze picked up, and after a while, a drizzle began to fall.

In the autumn season, once it rains, it will be endless.

On rainy days, the roads are muddy, and for the average traveler, it is not suitable for rushing.

But Zhao Lingtai was different, he bought an oil-paper umbrella, went out from the Yunzhou City Gate very early, and followed the path on the map to the ruins of the Holy City.

It is said to be a path, but in fact it is just a point, not a road that has really been carved out. In front of you, there may be a river, a canyon, or more likely a mountain......

When you come across a good time, there are sheep intestine trails, and there are rugged mountain roads for walking. But most of what you encounter is a dense jungle, a tall weed, or a hideous stone forest.

Such a situation will definitely discourage ordinary people, and those who cultivate shallowly can only retreat from the difficulties.

It was raining, and the mountains and forests were drenched, dripping with water everywhere. Zhao Lingtai walked with an umbrella, his body was light, like an elegant butterfly, and he jumped over the mountains and through the jungle without any obstacles at a speed beyond the mundane.

"Roar!"

As he entered a dense forest, he heard a loud roar.

This is the king of beasts, and the tiger is roaring.

It is said that the people of Guiyuan Valley, when they cultivate profoundly, can understand the language of the beasts, and even be able to communicate with them, which is a kind of skill that is quite obtainable.

Zhao Lingtai had never learned the exercises of Guiyuan Valley, but he could also hear that the roaring tiger seemed to be very angry.

The anger of a tiger was a trivial matter for any human immortal cultivator, but this time, Zhao Lingtai seemed to hear something else, he paused, thought about it, and finally swept in the direction of the tiger's roar.

The tiger only roared once, and then it was silent, but as long as it was heard once, Zhao Lingtai could determine its position—unless the tiger ran somewhere else at this time.

In about half an hour, after wading through a deep canyon, Zhao Lingtai saw a grassy slope with a radius of several acres.

It is not surprising that there are high peaks and naturally low slopes, but it is strange that the grassy slopes are full of shadows, full of wild beasts, all kinds of wild beasts. There are wolves and leopards that have no meat, there are gentle goats, there are huge bears, and there are small and delicate rabbits......

These wild beasts, there are hunters and hunters, meat-eaters and grass-eaters, and once they meet each other in normal times, one of them will flee in the wilderness, but at this time, they are in the same place, and they do not commit any offense among themselves, and they sit obediently on the grass with one head on the other, as if they are teaching well-taught schoolchildren, listening attentively to the lesson.

In the midst of this group of beasts, Zhao Lingtai saw the tiger.

This is by no means an ordinary tiger, it is much larger, with colorful stripes and golden light.

This tiger has become a demon!

But even so, it was now squatting peacefully in the midst of the herd, respectfully and motionlessly.

This scene is strange, Zhao Lingtai frowned slightly, looked up, and saw a tall stone erected in front of the grassy slope, a young monk sat on it, his eyebrows were picturesque, the monk's clothes were white, spotless, he was talking about the scriptures in his mouth, and he had an indescribable charm. When it came to the subtleties, the tiger demon listening below actually showed a smile on his face.
