Chapter 55: Strange Record
Looking at the old man like this, he must not know who the master is, but this is normal, after all, the master and his old man have only been promoted to the head of Qingyuan Palace in recent years, and he has stayed in the view all the year round to practice, and this is also his first time to travel. And this old man has been staying in Longmatan, and it is not surprising that he does not know the name of the master.
"The predecessor is a dragon who is haunting and poisoning the living beings, the predecessor is the Taoist first, can you help me and wait?" Zhuang Bai knew that the evil dragon was vicious and abnormal, since this old man was a cultivator in the Yuan Infant Stage, the exercises were naturally good, if he could pull over to help, it would naturally be great.
The old man took a sip of wine, smashed his mouth and said: "What Xiaoyou said is very true, the people in the Daomen should take it as their responsibility to subdue demons and eliminate demons to save the common people. What's more, if this evil dragon wants to enter the Tuojiang River, it will inevitably pass through here. It will be another catastrophe. Since I have resolved to protect this side of the people for my poor disciples, it is natural that the evil dragon cannot do evil. Rest assured, I will help you then. ”
Hearing the old man say this, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed, and Hu Yan was even more grateful, and respectfully bowed and said: "Senior Gaoyi, the kid thanked the tens of thousands of people who were killed in vain by the evil dragon." ”
"Little friend, the deceased is gone, and those who come can be chased, I will help you not for those who died in vain, but for those who are alive. Ever since he heard Hu Yan talk about what happened before, he knew that this kid was also a person who had suffered a lot, and he also knew that he had a grudge against the evil dragon, so he patted Hu Yan's shoulder and said meaningfully: "If you are obsessed, you will not be able to repair this way." Do you understand, little friend?"
"It's as if you're not obsessed, otherwise you wouldn't have stayed in this Longmatan forever. Jin Ning'er pursed her lips and said disdainfully,
"Ning'er......" Zhuang Bai glared at Jin Ning'er.
When the old man heard Jin Ning'er say this, he was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said, "You little girl has sharp teeth and sharp mouth." But what he said is also true. Even if you are a cultivator, you will inevitably be burdened by the mundane world and become obsessed with it. The reason why Xiao Lao'er has only broken through the realm of Yuanying now is that he is obsessed and difficult to detach. ”
Hu Yan nodded, his heart was also transparent, and after a little bit of the old man, he already understood. It's just that if this evil dragon is not removed, he can't let go of the obsession in his heart after all, whether it is for those who were killed by the evil dragon, or for Wang Qi.
Maybe only by subduing the evil dragon can he really let go of the obsession in his heart.
The sun sets, the sun sets. It's getting late.
"Brother Zhuang, it's getting late, why don't we rush to the confluence of the Sexi River and the Tuojiang River as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be at ease. Hu Yan looked at the sunset on the horizon and said hesitantly.
Zhuang Bai glanced up at Hu Yan, knowing that if this matter was not resolved for a day, Hu Yan would not be at ease for a day, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
"Are you leaving, a few little friends? It's getting late, why don't you rest here for the night, and then go on the road early tomorrow morning?" The old man saw that everyone was leaving, and a trace of reluctance rose in his heart.
"Come on, your place is only enough for you to live alone, how can we live with such a person. Jin Ning'er glanced at the old man and said with a grin.
Hu Yan said: "Senior, if this evil dragon is not eliminated for a day, I am very uneasy in my heart. I want to rush to the mouth of the Tuojiang River overnight, just waiting for the evil dragon to come. ”
The old man saw that everyone had made up their minds, and it was not easy to keep them, so he grabbed Hu Yan and said: "Since the little old man promised you to help you, he will naturally do what he says." As he spoke, he took Hu Yan's hand and drew a few runes in his stretched palm, and suddenly a golden light flashed on Hu Yan's palm, and in the golden light, a triangular talisman suddenly fell into Hu Yan's palm.
"If the dragon appears, you can crush this amulet, and I will rush to help. Don't forget ......"
Hu Yan looked at the brilliant talisman in his hand, and his heart was full of surprise. Before he could say a word of thanks, the old man smiled, reached into his arms, and took out a somewhat yellowed book from his bosom: "You can take this book with you." ”
Hu Yan took the book that looked a little old and yellowed, and looked at the old man suspiciously: "Senior, this book ......"
"I see that your body is full of real strength, and your body is full of strength, I think you haven't been well guided, this is not a good thing, if the strength in your body is not guided and released, it will hurt others and yourself. This book is the exercises that the little old man is going to practice for the little apprentices, but now that you don't need it, you can study it, and you will benefit a lot from it. The old man smiled and patted Hu Yan's shoulder.
Hu Yan was slightly stunned, and his heart became more and more grateful, so he put the book away closely, and respectfully said to the old man: "Thank you for the love of the old seniors, the younger generations have nothing to repay, and he will definitely find good wine and filial piety one day." ”
The old man smiled and waved his hand: "That's it, it's enough for you to have this heart, but you have to remember that cultivation is not only about cultivating the body, but also about cultivating the mind." The mind is free of delusions, and the troubles are eliminated. You're going to be able to do something about it one day. ”
Hu Yan's face was slightly pale, and he was full of emotion, he didn't expect that this person who had just met for a short time could be so frank with each other, and his heart was greatly touched: "Thank you seniors, the younger generations remember the teachings, and they will definitely not live up to the kindness of their predecessors." ”
The old man laughed, drank the little wine left in the wine gourd, shook it, threw it back to Zhuang Bai and said, "It's getting late, you should be more careful." Remember, when the dragon appears, crush the amulet. The little old man will definitely appear. ”
Zhuang Bai grabbed the wine gourd thrown by the old man, nodded and said, "Senior, don't worry." The juniors have written it down, then we will go, and the seniors should take care. ”
"Go, go, go!" the old man waved his hand, turned his head and walked towards the bamboo pavilion, in front of which was the turquoise water of Longma Pond, where the fish were churning in the afterglow of the setting sun, rippling on the calm water......
Saying goodbye to the old man and coming out of the bamboo house, Zhuang Bai suddenly thought of something, and quickly took out the only remaining wine gourd filled with sweet koji from the Qiankun bag and shouted: "Senior......"
The old man turned around, but Zhuang Bai threw the wine gourd at the old man: "This last pot of good wine will be left for you, but although this wine is good, you can't be greedy." ”
The old man's eyes flashed, and he took the wine gourd, laughed and said, "Good boy, you still have a little conscience." ”
"Haha......"
......
Coming out of Longma Pond, the sky was already bright and the moon was high, and everyone took advantage of the moonlight to travel all the way, one hundred and eighty miles, and it didn't take long to arrive.
The Sexi River and the Tuojiang River estuary are dangerous, and everyone does not dare to sleep on it, and only after finding a high ground can they set up camp. It is said that they have set up camp, but they have found a leeward place and raised a bonfire to ward off the wild beasts of the mountains and the cold wind of the night.
After the events of the day, everyone couldn't sleep for a while, and they all sat cross-legged around the campfire, chatting indiscriminately.
"Brother Hu, what kind of book is that old man gave you?" Zhuang Bai has always been very interested in the book that the old man gave Hu Yan, and he has nothing to do at the moment, but he finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
Patronizing the road all the way, Hu Yan didn't know what kind of book it was, but he remembered that the book was called "Xiuzhen Qilu", and he didn't know what the specific content was.
So Hu Yan took out the yellowed old book from his arms and handed it to Zhuang Bai.
Zhuang Bai hesitated for a moment, but still took the book.
"The title of the book "Xiuzhen Qilu" is very domineering. Zhuang Bai smiled, opened the book and read it, just after reading a few pages, his face suddenly changed, and he handed the book back to Hu Yan like a ghost: "Brother Hu, you have to keep this book." ”
Seeing Zhuang Bai's face change drastically, Hu Yan suddenly became suspicious and asked, "Brother Zhuang, what's wrong with you, is there something wrong with this book?"
Zhuang Bai stared at the yellowed old book in Hu Yan's arms, shook his head and said: "This book is no problem, but the content recorded in it is too powerful, I am afraid that I can't stand this temptation, and practice the exercises inside." ”
Hu Yan was immediately relieved, and smiled: "If that's the case, you can study with me." ”
Zhuang Bai shook his head and said: "No, although we belong to the same Dao sect, the exercises we study are completely different, our Maoshan sect mainly focuses on practicing talisman spells, supplemented by practicing qi." Although there is also a need to cultivate the inner dan, the cultivation method is also different. If I rashly practice the exercises in this book, I am afraid that I will really clash with my strength, and even if I don't go mad, it will affect the original talisman spell. ”
Zhuang Bai's nonsense is not very clear, but since Zhuang Bai said so, there must be a reason for him, since Zhuang Bai can't learn the exercises inside, can he learn it himself?
"Brother Zhuang, can I learn the exercises in this book?"
Zhuang Bai nodded and said: "There is naturally no problem for you to learn, you are practicing the art of spitting, and if you practice, you will be able to practice Neidan." Now you have noticed the qi, but you have not been guided, resulting in the accumulation of true power in your body, and there is nowhere to release it. The exercises in this book are just right for you. As long as you practice diligently, your skills will improve by leaps and bounds. ”
For the current nonsense, he is like an inkstone, and the true power in his body is like ink filled with inkstone. The ink is abundant, but it is difficult to write.
This is also a matter of no choice, after all, no one expected that Hu Yan would be able to detect his qi in such a short period of time, let alone that he would greatly increase the true power in his body because of taking the Nine Turns Condensing Yuan Grass. And the master was not around at this time, so that Hu Yan had no one to teach the exercises, so that the true power in the body could not be used, and the strength of the body could not be vented.
And this "Strange Record of Cultivating Truth" is like an introduction, which can just guide Hu Yan to really bring out the true power in his body.
