Chapter 41, The Heavens Cause and Effect
Through the wall, Kong Zheng came to a secret room, the hole was no more than three feet deep, and the top could be reached by raising his hand. At the exit on the other side of the cave, there was a water curtain, and through the water curtain, Kong Zheng saw a jade coffin parked inside.
What kind of trial is this?
Kong Zheng was puzzled.
There was no fluorite in the cave, but the jade coffin was shining, and Kong Zheng looked into the coffin and found that it was a lifelike deceased.
"You're here. ”
When Kong Zheng's hand touched the jade coffin, an abrupt sound broke the silence here.
"Hmm. ”
Kong Zheng replied.
Is it a bone puppet again? or ...... Stiff?
Kong Zheng found that the person in the coffin did not move, so he said: "I don't know who is speaking, can you show up and see it?"
"Hehehehe, I've been waiting for this day for a long time......"
The next moment, on top of the jade coffin, sat a phantom, who looked exactly like the person in the coffin.
"Remnant soul?" Kong Zheng was a little surprised.
This is the Taoist technique of ghost cultivation!
"Yes, I am a wisp of remnant soul attached to the coffin, and the reason why this breath has remained until now is because I want to see who the person who has obtained the 'Record of Cause and Effect of the Heavens' is. ”
The Heavens Cause and Effect?
Kong Zheng smiled: "I'm sorry, did you make a mistake? I am Kong Zheng, a disciple of the outer sect of Sword Xuan Mountain, and I came here today on the occasion of the trial of the Sword Cave." If you're a test of this level, please say something I understand. ”
The old man on the coffin opened his eyes slightly, with needle-like pupils, looked at Kong Zheng, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This is not a test, it is a prohibition I once set, without the Heavenly Cause and Effect Record, you can't enter this place." ”
"Pretending to be a ghost. ”
"Friar, think about it, if you have ever received something strange. ”
Seeing this wisp of remnant soul pretending to be mysterious, Kong Zheng thought about it, he didn't seem to be joking with himself. If what he said was true, the strange thing he got should be ......
Kong Zheng's eyes lit up, he reached into his arms and felt out a piece of cloth.
It was neatly folded like a handkerchief, and it was held in his hand at the moment, and when the remnant soul saw it, he sighed with emotion: "Alas, this thing will accompany me all my life." It can be said that most of my life's achievements have been given by it, and I hope that the minor friars ...... Make good use of it. ”
"Your Excellency...... Who the hell is it?"
A smile appeared on the old man's face, and he paused word by word: "Lu Wucai." ”
This self-introduction was somewhat unexpected.
If Kong Zheng heard it correctly and thought correctly, then this old man is the Sword Xuan Ancestor, Lu Wucai.
But...... How can it be?!
"It's not funny. ”
Even if Lu Wucai is a ghost cultivator, a wisp of remnant soul can live for hundreds of years without being enshrined, and he can't believe it at all! It is a remnant soul, it is not easy to maintain the immortality of the body, and it has all the consciousness of Lu Wucai before his death, not as simple as an afterimage!
"I was originally a Confucian student in Wuzhou, and my home was in Huaiyang State, and I was arrested by the government because of my poems and essays criticizing the ministers, so I left my hometown and fled all the way south. This escape is ten years, in the past ten years, I have worked as a porter, sold operas, imitated calligraphy and paintings, and also worked as a turtle in the place of Golan. When I was thirty-six years old, the powerful minister's house was raided, and I returned to my hometown with joy, and found that the people in my family were implicated by me, my wife, children, and parents had already been killed, and the only remaining line of the Lu family was incognito and missing. It took me three years to find them, but they hated me and kicked me out of the house again. ”
Kong Zheng is listening, and the old man is talking.
To varying degrees, the two of them are people who have seen the world, and this story is just a story, without great joy and sorrow. The flat and straightforward narration does not need to exaggerate the pathos, but it adds to the desolation.
"At the time, I was thirty-nine years old, and I didn't achieve anything. Friar, what do people do when they are discouraged?"
The old man asked suddenly.
Kong Zheng thought for a while and said seriously: "Maybe it's herding cattle." ”
The old man suddenly couldn't take it......
This answer left him speechless.
"When you're disheartened...... Will you go to herd the cattle?" the old man seemed a little angry.
But Kong Zheng nodded solemnly: "Yes, sometimes when my practice is hindered, I will also go to herd cattle." Lying on the back of a cow will make me a lot easier. ”
The old man smiled bitterly: "Well, I wasn't as weird as you at the time. I just want to live in seclusion and ignore the mortal world, so that I can forget all those pains. So, I came to Yuezhou from Wuzhou and settled here. ”
"In this deep mountain, there are so many monsters, how do you live?"
"At that time, there was a temple here, and there was only one temple. The temple is dedicated to the fierce gods and evil, I have nothing to love in my life, so I want to be a temple blessing here, but the rest of my life, as for whether the temple is a villain, I don't care. ”
The old man recalled and suddenly smiled, "So, something strange happened. When I was 50 years old, Lao Miaozhu suddenly moved his heart of compassion and wanted to pass on a set of qi training techniques, saying that it would allow me to prolong my life and have the power of self-preservation. ”
"Did you learn?"
"Learned. ”
"What Qi Practice?"
"Xuanwei Purple Air". ”
Ghost repair!
After infusing the body with the true spirit of heaven and earth, the true qi condensed by refining the blood qi and evil qi is red with black, and the color is purple, this kind of dark purple true qi has always been the sign of ghost cultivation.
"That's the Qi cultivation technique of ghost cultivation. ”
The old man said, finding that Kong Zheng was unmoved, and continued to smile, "Lao Miaozhu is a thief in the empty Sang Kingdom of Yuezhou, a rare strong man in the mortal world, after several of his brothers were exterminated, he hid here, and the brothers who followed him into the mountain continued to die of old age, and when I came, he was the only one left." However, he was lucky enough to discover the secret method of the immortal family that was left here. ”
"What happened to him?" Kong Zheng asked.
"He didn't have enough qualifications, he cultivated for half his life, barely opened up the sea of divine valley qi, increased his life for thirty years, and died at the age of one hundred and two. That year, I was sixty-six. ”
"At that time, I had also opened up the sea of Shengu Qi, and in the Taoist scriptures left by the old temple Zhu, I learned that above the Shengu realm, there were also foundation building realms, Jindan realms, Yuanying realms, and so on...... Having come into contact with the magic of the Immortal Family, how could I be willing to stay in the Divine Valley Realm for the rest of my life? So, I began to explore this place until I discovered the secret passage in the Tang Valley for the first time. ”
Kong Zheng's eyes narrowed, judging from Lu Wucai's narration, it took him sixteen years to cultivate to the Divine Valley Realm, even if he was in the late stage of the Divine Valley Realm at this time, his qualifications were not outstanding, so how did he soar to the sky, and how did he cultivate all the way to the Merge Stage?
Kong Zheng seemed to think of something: "There...... You've found the 'Celestial Record of Cause and Effect'?"
Kong Zheng looked at the cloth in his hand.
The old man nodded with satisfaction: "Yes." It was as if it had been waiting for me there, and when I got it, I didn't know what it was all about. So I was still looking for other ways to improve my cultivation. Until I was 70 years old, I still had nothing, so I had to resign myself to my fate. Unexpectedly, at that time, I accidentally discovered the magic of this cloth!"
"What's so magical about it?" Kong Zheng turned over and over, this piece of cloth was not very white, and it was a little hard, it didn't look like a magical thing at all.
In his previous life, he had seen a lot of things against the sky, and they seemed to be much more powerful than this cloth.
However, the old man suddenly leaned forward and said softly towards Kong Zheng: "It can know everything!"
