XXXVI. Wisdom and courage break the formation
Zhang Zhinan broke through the Hungry Ghost Dao, the Animal Dao, the Human Dao, the Shura Dao, and the Hell Dao one after another, and jumped out of the abyss. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info At this time, he was ragged and scarred, and his expression was extremely dignified, which was very different from the confident appearance before entering the Six Paths. He looked around cautiously and found that this place was no longer what the White Bird Temple had been.
The small and cramped temple has become vast and expansive, and the original simple white walls and blue tiles have now been replaced by glittering glazed tile walls, and the temple is full of golden statues, incense sticks and incense burners. The magnificent Daxiong Treasure Hall stands in the middle of the courtyard, the air of the balm pierces the beams and columns, and the sound of bells and drums is endless.
Zhang Zhinan looked at the door of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and saw two big characters "Lei Yin" written in the middle of the door beam.
"Leiyin Temple, the Pure Land of Bliss, could it be that this is the Heavenly Dao?" asked Zhang Zhi in surprise.
"Exactly. The voice of the snow lotus floated from the hall of the Great Majesty, Zhang Zhinan was full of fear, and followed the prestige, only to see a thin and young Taoist aunt standing in the door, her body swaying, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
Zhang Zhinan was shocked when he saw this, and said, "Snow Lotus, is this your real body?"
Xue Lian nodded, smiled helplessly, and said, "Since you have broken five of my six reincarnations, I know that this last one can't stop you, so I have to show up to meet the enemy in person." ”
Zhang Zhinan sighed and said: "Your first five paths have already tormented me so that people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, and I still think that if the last one is also generally dangerous, then I will be more than lucky." ”
Xue Lian shook her head and said, "I only said that no one in the world can break through the first five realms, and even with the first one, I can sit back and relax, so in fact, this heavenly dao doesn't use any thoughts. ”
Zhang Zhinan smiled dumbly and said, "You told me so easily, aren't you afraid that I will hurt you?"
Xue Lian smiled desolately, and instead of answering, she sat down on a futon and asked, "How did you pass through the other four realms?" I saw that you had broken through the Hungry Ghost Dao, so I hurried to the Heavenly Dao to set up defenses, so I did not investigate the situation of the other four realms. ”
Zhang Zhinan felt exhausted at this time, and his strength was not enough, and he said in his heart: "I still need to delay for a while to recover my strength." So he laughed, secretly operated the Jindan Channeling Technique, and also found a futon to sit down, and said, "Since you are interested, listen to me." ”
He cleared his throat and said in a frustrated voice: "I first subdued the demon with my strength, outwitted the enemy, and gently and skillfully broke through the formation of the hungry ghost Dao and entered a vast and boundless prairie. ”
Xue Lian thought for a while and said, "This is the Animal Dao. ”
Zhang Zhigan: "I didn't know, but after thinking about it carefully, I guessed it." ”
He was stunned for a moment, as if recalling, and then said: "In this animal road, I first searched around, and found a total of five kinds of living beings, all of which were born in the early morning, and were born in the early morning, reaching the prime of life by noon, and old in the evening, and dying in the middle of the night. ”
"I noticed this situation, I was shocked, I was busy perceiving my own situation, and found that the metabolism in my body has also become extremely fast, knowing that time passes differently here, although I am an immortal, but if I delay for too long, I am afraid that I will also age. So I breathe and breathe, slow down my heartbeat and breathe, and restore my metabolism to normal, but in this way, my kung fu is greatly reduced, and I am not much better than ordinary people. ”
"I carefully observed the five living beings and found that there was a principle of restraint among the five elements. ”
"There is a kind of vine, which grows all over the mountains, thick and flexible, and is invincible in battle with its branches and leaves, and the corpses that are hanged by it will be reduced to vine fertilizer. ”
"The only natural enemy of the vine is a kind of flying locust, which reproduces very quickly, has sharp mouthparts, and often travels in groups. And because the vines are too thick, they have no choice but to slaughter these small and elegant locusts. ”
Of course, the locust is not invincible, its nemesis is a toad, this toad has a poisonous sac on its back, which releases a poisonous mist, which can paralyze the locust, and then the toad will roll the locust into its mouth with its long tongue and swallow it raw. The toad sticks out its tongue so fast that it can catch dozens of locusts in a split second, so that everywhere it goes, the locusts are wiped out. ”
"There is another badger, which is not afraid of toxins by nature, is agile and fearless, and often haunts the habitat of toads. As soon as a toad appears, it will come forward to hunt for food, and the toad is by no means one of them. Fortunately, it is not good at swimming, and if the toad stays in the water, it will be fine. ”
"The last creature is a kind of fierce tiger, huge in size, immensely powerful, running like the wind, and eating these badgers, although the badgers are brave, but how can they be the opponents of such giant beasts, they only have to encounter, there is no escape, they can only fight and die, and they will be reduced to the food of the belly. ”
"And this tiger, once it encounters vines, is also a place where there is no place to die. ”
"The five kinds of living beings are mutually restrictive, and none of them can be dominant, so that all can survive. I've come here, and I've worked with all five creatures, and I know I can't destroy them all on my own. So I thought about it for a long time and knew the key to this life cycle. ”
"With what I have learned, I have taken the form of a cunning hunter, lurking in search of tigers, traps, or outcroppings, and eradicating the smallest and most targeted creatures. ”
"As soon as the tiger died, the badger had no natural predators, so it multiplied and preyed on the toad, and soon the toad was dead. As soon as the toad died, the badgers had no food, and soon they died. ”
In this way, the locust lost its natural predators, and its life was overwhelming, and the vines were eaten up in an instant, and finally became extinct. Although the locusts have become the overlord of this place, they have nothing to wrap their stomachs in, and they die in patches, ushering in the end of total annihilation. ”
"I practiced the method of dry Zen, and when all the five things died, and the grassland was no longer alive, this array disappeared, because this array of time flies, in fact, I also stayed in this array for a short moment. ”
After hearing this, Xue Lian sighed and said, "I thought that the Animal Dao was seamless, and without my spiritual energy supply, it could be endless. Among them, the passage of time is beyond common sense, and it is used to besiege foreign enemies. Who knew that you discovered such a flaw, and you were both wise and brave, which really made me admire. The next thing you go to next is the way of the world. ”
Zhang Zhinan was not modest, nodded and said: "Later, I came to the world again, although this place is named after the world, but in fact there are countless apes living in it. Time flies a little faster here, but it's not like an arrow in the animal world. I only need to adjust the blood flow in my body slightly, and I don't lose much in martial arts. ”
"These apes are similar in stature to ordinary people, can speak human words, plant trees and fertilize themselves, and establish a system in the monkey country, dividing the monkey group into three, six, nine and so on. Among them, the Monkey King has the highest intelligence, the strongest force, and controls the largest orchard in the country, and is dependent on all the monkeys. ”
"But the position of the Monkey King is not immutable, as long as the monkey is ambitious, he can participate in a daily level-by-level challenge, and he only needs to defeat the eight gatekeepers to challenge the king's authority. ”
"When I first arrived here, a monkey was very polite to me, and gave me delicious peach fruit, and I felt compassion, so I didn't want to kill them all, so I concentrated on the location of the array. ”
"After the first two tests, I knew that the eye of the array must be something that moves the whole body in the array, so I carefully observed the movements of the monkey king, and found that he had to go into a tree hole every day for a long time, and never let the monkeys approach, I knew that there must be a mystery in it. ”
"At this time, the ape who gave me the fruit complained to me that the king was cruel and unkind, and that the monkeys must hand over ninety percent of the fruit produced by their own fruit trees, or else they would be punished with a fine or a death sentence. He was so tired that he could barely get by. ”
"As soon as my mind moved and I devised a plan, I told the ape that I would help him to take the throne of the monkey king, except that he would let me stay in the cave of the mysterious tree for a while. ”
"The fruit farmer ape is timid, and would rather die than obey, so I had to teach it kung fu step by step, but fortunately, the ape is outstanding, and the practice is diligent, and it didn't take long for it to far surpass his peers and crown the monkeys. ”
"One day I used the excuse of teaching him kung fu, and threw him directly into the Monkey King ring, he thought I was joking with him, and he didn't care. ”
"Who knew that the monkey king could also do martial arts, and it was surprisingly high, and the fruit farmer ape was not an opponent. I saw that it was about to die under the claws, and I had no choice but to secretly pass on the gong, and the internal strength of the fruit farmer ape increased sharply, and the monkey king was knocked to the ground with one move, and the monkey king had no ability to fight again, so angry that he vomited blood and died. ”
After the victory of the fruit farmer ape, he was overjoyed, and immediately announced the cancellation of seventy percent of the tax, and the monkeys were all overjoyed, jumping and climbing. ”
"I was allowed to enter the cave of the mysterious tree, where there was nothing but a mirror. Someone whispered in the mirror, teaching all kinds of martial arts, and I suddenly realized that this Monkey King's martial arts came from here. ”
"I broke the mirror, time and space changed again, and I came to an ancient battlefield. ”
Hearing this, Xue Lian lowered her head and said: "Everything is the will of heaven, the Tao of the world is different from the Dao of animals, even if you kill all the monkeys, it will not help, and it is precisely because you can't bear to do it that you can successfully pass the test." This next level is the Shura Dao, in which there are thousands of Gu worms, nourished by spiritual energy, and their bodies have grown up, like human shapes in armor. I have commanded it to guard the way, and I do not know how you will pass it. ”
Zhang Zhinan rolled up his sleeves, revealing his scars, and said with a wry smile: "These Gu worms have long forgotten their original intentions and have been killing each other. Every time the Gu worm kills an opponent, it gains its strength and wisdom. If I continue to kill all day long, in the end, only one Gu worm will survive, and it will absorb the power and wisdom of the rest of the Gu worms, not only will its power be infinite, but its wisdom will not be below me. ”
Xue Lian was taken aback and asked, "How do you know?"
Zhang Zhigan: "It was that Gu worm who said it to me personally, and he also said that the reason why the Monkey King learned martial arts in the world was because he taught it through the mirror." ”
The Gu worm then said to me, he had already seen that my martial arts were strong, and it had not met an opponent for a long time, and it was already unbearable to kill, so he asked me to use all my strength to compete with it. ”
"I did not dare to slack off, so I concentrated on fighting with him, his strength was fierce, and he was tireless, and his armor was as thick as a city wall, and he fought with it as if he were fighting against an immortal body. ”
"I used my Endless Body to the limit, and my physical strength continued to grow, and my wounds healed in an instant, and finally in a thousand strokes, I blasted its armor and wounded its internal organs, and it screamed and died. And I was covered in bruises and had lost a lot of blood. (To be continued.) )
