Chapter 14 This Journey to the West is not a Journey to the West
Under the giant sequoia, one grows and one is less.
Although the young man is seven or eight years old, his speech and demeanor are no different from adults, and his words and deeds show a mature and steady state.
This young man is Yuan Cheng, and he is also the third year of Gao Laozhuang, but from now on, presumably he will officially show his name and identity as Yuan Cheng.
The man looked at Yuan Cheng, carefully observed Yuan Cheng's words and deeds, and found that although this young man had ordinary roots, his mind was very precocious, and he was suddenly curious.
Yuan Cheng was sinking into the guilt of Tubo, felt the man's gaze, and hurriedly raised his head, with a thirsty face, and pleaded:
"Immortal Chief, please accept me, I promise to cultivate hard and be obedient!"
As he spoke, he was about to get up again, but this time he had to kneel down to worship the master, struggling twice, and Yuan Gong grinned in pain, but he still clenched his silver teeth and supported the ground with both hands, so he was about to kneel.
Suddenly, a wisp of silver silk blocked in front of Yuan Cheng's knees, preventing him from continuing to move, Yuan Cheng still wanted to kneel hard, for Tubo, for the avenue, for the sake of strength, what about being thick-skinned?
Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to see through his thoughts, and as soon as he exerted his strength, the silver thread suddenly shook, and instead bounced him back.
At this moment, dense beads of sweat had appeared on Yuan Cheng's forehead, indeed, he was still too weak.
"Don't work in vain, the poor road won't accept you, you and I don't have a master-apprentice relationship, why force it!"
Hearing the man's words, Yuan Cheng was a little angry, he had also read a lot of Journey to the West novels, in which he talked about cause and effect at every turn, and what chance he talked about.
For these, Yuan Cheng was extremely disdainful, if people can't do what they want, then what are they doing to cultivate immortals, it's just a few more years to live, and a little more means, don't you hear that the saint can't move under the constraints of heaven?
"Immortal Chief, the kid doesn't want you to accept him as a disciple, I just want to always accompany Immortal Chief, serve tea and water, and repay the life-saving kindness!"
The man didn't expect Yuan Cheng to have this kind of knowledge, and his thick sword eyebrows were clustered, as if he was hesitating about something.
Yuan Cheng knew that his words had moved the other party, but he also knew that it was enough, so he straightened his back and looked respectful, waiting for the man to answer.
Although his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, Yuan Cheng still couldn't help but think, hoping to impress the other party, but when his eyes approached the place where the man was sitting cross-legged, he saw the Ganoderma lucidum, and was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at the man lightly, and quietly withdrew his gaze.
In front of him, there were only five elixirs, and the lingzhi in front of the man was the largest of them.
'Have you met a fake master?'
Yuan Cheng thought of this, and the urgency in his heart was a little less, and he quietly released his gaze again, looked at the man carefully, and found that this person was a little more indifferent from ordinary men except for his expression, and he was immediately a little disappointed.
Yuan Cheng thought that his movements were hidden enough, but he didn't know that all this was under the man's gaze, a person who cultivated immortals, saw six ways, listened to all directions, how could the slightest movement around him escape his eyes, not to mention that Yuan Cheng was a yellow-mouthed child, and his joy was all on his face.
"Ahem, boy, do you know that you and I have no causal involvement, and this elixir is the key to cause and effect. ”
This thing is of little use to you, and the husband is not guilty of it, but this has saved your life again.
The man didn't say this, he was not a man of many words, he just hoped that this was all he said, and Yuan Cheng could be self-aware.
Yuan Cheng had already seen from the other party's words that the other party obviously didn't look down on his qualifications, so he used the elixir but the cause and effect, Yuan Cheng was a little suspicious of the strength of the man in front of him, and his heart was calmer, so he lightened his mind to apprentice.
Thinking of this, Yuan Cheng said:
"What is the Immortal Chief talking about, the grace of saving lives, how can these mundane medicines be repaid, if the Immortal Elder needs it, these Immortal Chiefs can take it. ”
Yuan Cheng's words glanced aside at the matter of apprenticeship, and this kind of self-knowledge made the man appreciate it even more.
Yuan Cheng's words made the man quite moved, but he was not a greedy person, he shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said lightly:
"Saving your life is just a casual thing, the poor road has some cause and effect with that person, and it is good to resolve it, the elixir is not necessary, and it is useless to have more poor road for the time being. ”
Who is Yuan Cheng, that is a person who has watched countless life and death dramas in later generations and gone through countless routines, although the man likes to act without showing his color, Yuan Cheng still captured the man's hesitation.
Immediately, Yuan Cheng understood that being useless for the time being does not mean that it will be useless forever.
Therefore, Yuan Cheng's smart eyes rolled, pushed the elixir in front of him forward, and said with a smile:
"Immortal Chief, the kid has admired the fairy road for a long time, but he has never heard anything about the immortals, the kid will still walk in it in the future in order to save Tubo, fortunately, there are still a day or two of cultivation, if the immortal chief explains to the kid, these, it should disturb the immortal Chang Qing to repair the things that make amends. ”
Hearing this, the man was stunned, but he didn't refuse, his eyes changed a few breaths, and then he sighed softly, looked at Yuan Cheng, and said with pity:
"If you can, Poor Dao hopes that you will live a good life, don't embark on this road of no return, although it is the road of cultivating immortals, you don't know, if you don't cross the catastrophe, you can wash the mortal womb with earth-shattering power, and you are still a mortal.
The power of the sky, unpredictable, if there is no chance and bones, the catastrophe fails, people and immortals are no, wandering the world, empty from ups and downs......"
The man's talk can be said to have refreshed Yuan Cheng's perception of the Journey to the West, of course, Yuan Cheng's division of the strength of the characters in Journey to the West is still from another book, and when I heard it, I found that it was not like that at all.
It is not that stepping into the path of immortals is an immortal, nor is it that the immortals of heaven and earth are everywhere, it is an era only existed by the generations of the ancient species of the Chaos World.
The appearance of human beings is countless thousands of years late, and people do not seem to be a species suitable for cultivating immortals, don't you hear that the three hundred and sixty-five righteous gods sealed, except for a few mortal body cultivation, the rest are either powerful reincarnations, or immortal descendants, disciples, or born with extraordinary roots, of course, this kind of is also beyond the boundaries of mortals.
The more Yuan Cheng listened, the more solemn his expression became, but his heart had already begun to tremble, and he felt as if he had come to the wrong place.
Although the man said some places very vaguely, Yuan Cheng filled in and understood it by himself based on his novel experience, and the general meaning is that if a person wants to embark on the path of immortals, he must go through countless calamities and tribulations, and wash the mortal womb and the three souls and seven spirits until he is allowed by heaven and earth.
In the meantime, it is necessary to start by absorbing the aura of the wandering void and hiding it in the meridians, which is somewhat similar to the immortal martial arts novels of later generations, but it is also different.
As for the specific differences, Yuan Cheng is now also a leopard in the tube, confused, although he can't understand it, but he feels very powerful.
This talk is a day and a night, in the middle of the middle in order to take care of Yuan Cheng, the man flashed out for a long time, brought back a few wild peaches in the mountains, although there is no later generation of improved genes, comparable to the peach peach is as good as the color and fragrance, but it is also crispy and delicious, eating makes people feel refreshed, clear brain and eyes.
At first glance, it's not an ordinary thing.
“...... Heaven and earth are not benevolent, with all things as dogs, cultivating immortals can be described as going against the sky, it is just a hard struggle of people, for hundreds of years, I have never heard of a person who can cross the catastrophe and become an immortal, so, boy, I advise you, life is short, don't sink your life for it!"
After the man finished speaking, there was a rare dejection on his face, and his words seemed to be both persuading Yuan Cheng and persuading himself.
Yuan Cheng had already guessed from the other party's words that he was trapped in a certain shackle, and he had not made an inch for many years before he had this state of mind, so he didn't say anything, while summarizing and sorting out his gains, he waited for the man to brew emotions.
After a long time, the man let out a sigh of relief, not knowing whether he had figured it out or decided to give up, he glanced at Yuan Cheng and said with a faint smile:
"The poor way that can be said has been said, and the words are all here, and the cause and effect of you and me are also over. ”
After speaking, Yuan Cheng also knew that the other party was going to wave his hand to drive people away, at this time he had recovered seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and all he had eaten in the past two days was mountain fruits and sweet springs, Yuan Cheng himself felt that his body was much lighter, and the scars on his body were slowly fading, although very slowly.
"In this way, then thank the fairy chief, and the kid will leave!"
Yuan Gong got up and arched his hand, picked up Tubo and walked out, behaving freely, which surprised the man.
He looked at the petite back as he walked farther and farther away, and then looked at the thick thorn bushes on the periphery, and through the thorn bushes, there was an endless primeval forest, with towering giant trees all over the mountains.
What the man saw was not these, but the hidden killing motives, countless mountain spirits and tree monsters, long insects and beasts, not every one of them was a good person, and many of them were eyeing each other, just waiting for a blood food to be delivered to the door and a full meal.
"That's it, Poor Dao will send you out!"
Then Yuan Cheng saw a scene that shocked him, when they walked in front of the thorn bush, the thorn bush actually automatically gave way to a road, just like a sensor door, the road surface was smooth, and there was no sense of disobedience.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Cheng's eyes rolled, his thoughts flew, but the man didn't see it, and walked with his hands in his hands.
Out of the thorn bush, the man suddenly turned around, arched his hand at the thorn bush that had been closed, laughed, and said loudly:
"Daoist friends have been entertained these days, and the poor Dao is here to thank you!"
In this regard, Yuan Cheng saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, but he didn't mention it in his mouth, but he already had some guesses in his heart.
This time, the man did not cast the immortal method, but followed Yuan Cheng like an ordinary person, his steps were not hurried or slow, but there was no beast and insect infestation along the way.
The two of them walked among the giant trees, looking so small, and beams of sunlight fell from among the leaves, leaving patches of light on the ground, adding a bit of light to the rather gloomy forest.
