Chapter 400: Rescue (II)
In order to treat these mortals, Chu Xunyu was busy all night, and at dawn, he was able to rest, sat there and drank a sip of fresh water, and asked, "Father Lakshen, do horse thieves often appear in the desert?"
In front of him, Mu Yuan and Wangchen were sitting beside him, and Father Lakshen, who was sitting opposite, was smoking a cigarette pouch there, shook his head and said, "I don't appear often, I came here suddenly last night." β
"Then where are you going?" Mu Yuan asked curiously.
"Hehe, I'm going to migrate to the Mongolian steppe. Father Lakshin replied with a hearty smile, "The season has come, and we will migrate back to the endless Mongolian steppe." β
Chu Xunyu suddenly heard two children in the distance talking about demons or something in horror, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved, so he took the initiative to ask, "Father Lakshen, do you have any demons here?"
"Demons?" Father Rakshen was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head, "I've never heard of any demons. β
"Kids don't lie, Daddy, tell me what's going on. Chu Xunyu looked at him meaningfully.
Father Lakshin was still hesitating, Wangchen smiled lightly, and persuaded him: "Trust us, since we saved you, we will never harm you, come on, tell us the truth, maybe we can help you further." β
"It's not that I don't say it, in fact, there is no secret, even if I say it, I guess you don't believe it. β
"Try it. β
"Here's the thing......" So Father Rakshen told the experience of meeting the white horse that night and turned into a human, and after finishing speaking, he did not forget to add, "Actually, the story I told at the time was casual nonsense, there is no such thing at all." β
"Can you take us to see that person?" Chu Xunyu asked calmly.
"Why? you believe?" said Father Laxon in surprise.
"There's nothing to believe or not believe it, it's just curiosity. Chu Xunyu deliberately pretended to be friendly and smiled, and after laughing, he felt that the smile was very fake and embarrassing, "Aren't we Lang Zhong, we can help him look at the wound, the story may not be believed, but the injury still needs to be treated." β
"That's great. Father Lakshin was overjoyed, quickly stood up, and explained while showing them the way, "This person has not woken up until now, the wound is festering very seriously, it is really urgent for us to die, you Langzhong from the Central Plains hurry up and take a look." β
Chu Xunyu and the three of them bypassed some obstacles, and then entered a tent, but saw a person lying in it, naked, simply bandaged, with a beard on his chin, dark skin, and his eyes closed, as if unconscious.
Chu Xunyu went up to check it, touched his pulse again, and finally nodded, turned his head to Father Lakshen and said, "I can cure him." β
"Really?" said Daddy Rakshin with his eyes.
"It's true. Chu Xunyu nodded, but added, "I want to heal alone, because this person is very sick, and he must use my ancestral secret recipe, and ordinary people are not allowed to come in and peek." β
"Okay. Father Rakshen nodded hurriedly, "It would be great if you could wake him up, guest of the Central Plains, although we know each other for the first time, but your kindness touched me, may Tengger bless you." β
"Alright, you go out. Chu Xunyu's expression remained unchanged and he shook his hand, "Except for the three of us, no one else is allowed to enter." β
"Okay, I'll set it up. Father Laxon turned and went out to settle in.
After the people left, Mu Yuan casually dragged a sheepskin pad and sat under his buttocks, smashed it and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"Yes. Chu Xunyu nodded, took some cushions for Wangchen, and then sat down on his own, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think about the problem that Daddy said about the white horse turning into a person just now?"
"I know, I know!" Mu Yuan raised his hand and rushed to answer before Wangchen could sit down, "The answer is nothing more than the following two kinds, first, this person is a monster, and nine times out of ten it is a white horse turned into a spirit, so the scene said happened; β
"None of them are right. Chu Xunyu looked at him and shook his head with a smile.
"What's that?"
"Have you heard of the 'Seventy-Two Changes'?" Chu Xun asked meaningfully.
"Seven...... What?" Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Ye Langzhong, I think you are stupid to read books, it's just folklore, and it is common to have such records on the stalls in front of those small bookstores, how can there be such a spell in this world." β
Mu Yuan is actually right, among all things in the world, there is one thing that is the most mysterious, that is, life, which cannot be copied, and its evolution cannot be modified, so it has never been said that cultivators have the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea, and I have never heard that cultivators have the method of incarnating all things.
Cultivators can go to heaven and earth, turn stones into gold, etc., these are not difficult to do, but no one said that cultivators can turn into other life forms, such as jackals, tigers and leopards, etc., unless they use some advent techniques, or use some other side ways, transform their own bodies, in order to change their body structure, or just not use these means, just by their own strength, they can reverse the life structure, that is almost a fool's dream, at most, they use some tricks to carve insects, so that mortals seem, think that they have changed, but in fact, the body has not changedγ
Legend has it that when the Tang Dynasty was in its prime, Master Xuanzang traveled west to learn scriptures, and accepted a disciple on the way, who was a personal disciple of Bodhi Patriarch, who could be proficient in the "seventy-two changes" of the art of earth evil, and turned into anything in the universe of heaven and earth, and was very subtle and abnormal, but we all know that it is just a legend, which is not enough to believe at all, at most it is just a folk novel.
Regarding this, Chu Xunyu agreed, but still told a secret. A long time ago, when Chu Xunyu was a child, when he was idle with the old golden head of the library at home, he once complained that the path of cultivation was too difficult, and he wanted to fly freely in the air, hoping that the powerful old Jin Grandpa could teach him a technique, turn into an eagle, and go straight to the sky, so that he could take a shortcut. The old golden man laughed and told him that it was impossible, that the technique had been lost for many years.
Chu Xun didn't believe it, he had to pester the old golden head to tell the reason, but the old golden head was helpless, so he told him that a long time ago, when Nuwa created people, it is said that this mother of human beings in the world can incarnate all things, which is called Nuwa's "seventy transformations". Later, it was taught to the ancient Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and it was the so-called "Huainanzi Shuo Lin Xun" Youyun: "The Yellow Emperor gave birth to yin and yang, Shangyu gave birth to ears and eyes, and mulberry forest gave birth to arms and hands, and this Nuwa was also seventy." And Guo Pu of the Western Jin Dynasty also mentions the "intestines of female calamity" in his note "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness of the West", and there are clouds: "Nuwa, the ancient goddess and the emperor, has a human face and a snake body, and changes seventy times in one day." β
It can be said that in the history of mankind, the last person who can incarnate all things and understand the thousands of changes in life is the later Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. As for the name, why it changed from "Nuwa's Seventy Changes" to the "Seventy-two Changes" passed down by the people's mouth, it is estimated that it was because he was misled by the story of Master Xuanzang who traveled west to learn scriptures in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.
Looking at Mu Yuan's look of disbelief, Wangchen nodded and seconded: "I agree with this, because I have seen it before." β
