Chapter Twenty-Eight: Demons
The next day, after the little demons came down the mountain, Mu Qing took the judgment book and said before the old ape opened his mouth: "Old ape, you teach me to read!"
The old ape was about to ask Mu Qing to tell a story, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but pause, and then replied very simply: "This is naturally okay, but I have to trouble Mr. to tell the story to those little cubs in the afternoon." "www.biquge.info Then he didn't take the wooden slip in Mu Qing's hand, and went out directly. Although the old ape said it easily, Mu Qing always felt a little lost inside, "I guess I thought too much", Mu Qing shook his head and waited for the old ape to come back.
After a while, the old ape came back with a few neatly cut planks of the same size. He put the wooden board on the stone table, and his luck and magic power condensed his fingertips to write and draw on it, and after a while, it was full of writing, he put the wooden board aside, took another piece, and continued to write.
Mu Qing waited quietly on the side, when the old ape finished writing a sheet and put it down, he walked to the side, gently picked it up and watched, the wooden board was engraved with four words and one sentence, one full of nearly 100 words, Mu Qing looked at it carefully, and then disappointed to find that he still didn't know most of them, he could only put it down helplessly, and then stood aside and continued to wait.
The old ape didn't write too fast, when he put down the eleven wooden boards, he first let out a sigh, and then raised his hand to wipe the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, obviously writing these words was not a small consumption for him, he pointed to these wooden boards and said to Mu Qing: "Sir, this is a literacy book that has been circulated in the world, called "Thousand Character Text" ,Although there are some differences between us and the monsters,But its battle is neat,Clear,It's catchy to read.,It's a good Mongolian textbook.,The mountains will educate the little demons in this way.,When they become adults, the king will give them their names according to this.,It's really useful for us.。 ”
Listening to him talk about his name, Mu Qing thought of the name that the old ape reported yesterday: Ape Tianhuang, coupled with his seat, he really didn't expect that this old ape's cultivation was not high, but his status in the mountains was not low at all, it seems that he is also an old goblin with a big story.
After the old ape finished speaking, he took the first wooden board, pointed to the words on it and wanted to teach it to Mu Qing, but was stopped by the other party. Mu Qing took out the carving knife from the gourd, then took the wooden board, and then said to the old ape: "Old ape, it's okay." You read it a little slower so I can have time to make a note for them. ”
The old ape didn't think about it at first, but when he pointed to the words and read them out one by one, he was a little puzzled when he saw Mu Qing marking different fonts on it, he stopped pointing and asked, "Sir, what is this?"
Mu Qing was not surprised, a person who didn't know Hanyu Pinyin would definitely be puzzled when he saw these suddenly, the words written by the old ape were not marked with anything, and there was no similar phonetic, so it was not strange for him to ask Mu Qing. Mu Qing marked the words that the old ape had read, then put down the carving knife and moved his right hand slightly, and then replied: "This is the font phonetic, which was created by the place where I was reincarnated to facilitate phonics and literacy, I marked it on the font, and I don't need to ask you how to read the words later." By the way, I still remember some simplified fonts that I originally learned, wait for you to explain these words, I see if I can find the corresponding simplified characters, so that the speed will be much faster. ”
The old ape smiled, "It's convenient, wait for the old ape to ask Mr. Pinyin again, and then it will be convenient for the little demon in the mountain to learn." After saying that, he continued to read again.
After all, it is a mythical world, and neither of them is slow. After Mu Qing marked it, the old ape pointed to the words and explained them one by one, and Mu Qing could quickly find the corresponding Chinese characters and write them under the font. Of course, he is not so omnipotent, and some words cannot be written, so he uses simplified Chinese characters to annotate below, and the speed is not too slow. And in his previous life, he often used "A Thousand Character Essay" when he read historical novels, so he checked it on the Internet and memorized the whole article. Although the old ape's version is a little different, most of them are still similar, so just after half of the morning, the two finished proofreading, and Mu Qing also took the time to teach the old ape Chinese pinyin.
I have to say that the brain of a cultivator learns very quickly, and the old ape read it twice with Mu Qing, and then after listening to the explanation, after comparing Mu Qing's marking, he has already learned. Seeing that the time was still early, Mu Qing opened his mouth and asked him: "Old ape, what is the ghost book of the underworld?"
The last conversation was interrupted by the little demons, and then Mu Qing didn't mention it, yesterday when he entered the mountain, the demon king mentioned recovering his memory, and he thought of this problem, but he was short of time, and he didn't have time to ask the demon king, and now he had to ask the old ape.
The old ape saw that it was still early, and originally wanted Mu Qing to tell a story, but when he heard this, he thought for a moment, and then replied slowly: "Actually, I don't know what this 'ghost book' is, but I only learned a thing or two from the conversation between the king and Mr. at the beginning." As for its origin, it is necessary to start with the god list. At the beginning, the Jade Emperor was in charge of the Heavenly Court, and the three sects jointly established the list of gods, and after a great war, 365 righteous gods were sealed, and since then the Heavenly Court has controlled the heavenly realm, and even interfered with the earth realm. Later, Lao Tzu went out of the letter valley in the west, turned Hu into a Buddha, and the six reincarnations of the underworld were first established, but there were many ghosts and monsters in the underworld, and it was difficult to control, so the heavenly court created the ghost book according to the god list, and conquered the underworld with ghosts and gods, and sealed the ghost king and ghost fairy soul who did not obey the order into the ghost book, so as to control the other party, and the underworld controlled the underworld. Mr. should have been a powerful man in his lifetime, and he would have entered the underworld after his death, and perhaps it was at that time that he was sealed into the ghost book. And this place is close to Beiju Luzhou, in order to prevent the monsters in the north, the underworld sent Mr. here, which has a relationship with our Nanshan monsters. ”
"Since there are ghost books, are there also books from heaven, earth, people, and demons?"
The old ape smiled after hearing this, and then replied to Mu Qing: "Some of these so-called divine books, some of them really exist, and some of them are imaginary. The Book of Heaven is the Heavenly Court to control the heavenly realm, it is rumored that it is composed of the immortal books of the gods canonized by the gods and the immortals of all parties; the role of the Book of the Ground is unknown, it is rumored that it has already existed when the flood was famine, and then the great power of all parties snatched it, the Book of the Earth was shattered and disappeared, it is said that there are fragments of the Book of the Earth in the hands of Zhen Yuanzi of the West who has the 'ancestor of the Earth Immortals', so it gets this title; as for the book of people and the book of demons, these do not exist, since ancient times, the demon is scattered by nature, it is difficult to control, and there has even been a move to kill the Emperor of Heaven. Now that the demon clan is in decline, it is still infighting, if there is a demon book constraint, I am afraid that it will also attract the demon clan of the world to attack it, and the same is true of the human race. However, there are heavenly books and immortals in the heavenly court, ghost books and underworlds control reincarnation, and then use millions of heavenly soldiers to deter the world and conquer the demons, so naturally there is no need for any demon books and human books. ”
After the old ape finished speaking, he sighed, then looked up at the sun, and said to Mu Qing happily in a blink of an eye: "Okay, sir, don't talk about that, I don't know any more." It's still early, so you can tell me the story of the afternoon first, and it will save you a waste of your afternoon study time. ”
......
Mu Qing began a long journey of learning and reading, perhaps because of the soul, he learned to read and write quickly, and then he took out the jade slip, began to study, occasionally encountered a word he didn't know and asked the old ape, it was not too difficult to read, but the jade slip recorded mostly Taoist classics, esoteric and obscure, although Mu Qing read it a few times, but he couldn't understand the meaning, let the old ape talk about it, it was also mysterious and mysterious, in the clouds, and finally he had to read patiently every day, hoping to understand the avenue inside.
There are some things behind the jade slip that are probably formations and the like, Mu Qing is a little interested, but unfortunately it is probably that the divine soul does not match this, he has tried many times, but he has never been able to lay out the magic array, so he can only study it in his spare time to pass the time.
Time passes in the daily cycle of reading, telling, reading, and sleeping, and the days pass through late spring and into summer in such a hurry. Reading books, studying formations, and looking at the scenery every day, and then telling stories and watching a group of little demons play, Mu Qing felt that life would be good if it went on like this, until late one night, this peaceful life was broken.
It should have been just over fifteen that day, there was no moon in the sky, and the night was deep, Mu Qing still found nothing after studying the jade slips, so he had to put it away, and then sit in the shrine and rest and recuperate. I don't know how long later, he suddenly felt a lightness in his body, and then he saw that he had left the land statue and was being grabbed by a big hand.
Mu Qing has already tried this kind of thing when the soul leaves the body, after leaving the land statue, he can easily pass through some objects, and the movement speed will be much faster, but his soul is still weak and cannot travel during the day, and he doesn't like this kind of powerlessness very much, in his bones he still thinks that he is a living person, although the land statue is a little bulky, but it gives him a sense of existence and reality alive, so he has been staying in the statue until he was dragged out by the "human" tonight.
Mu Qing was dragged out by a terrifying evil ghost with a fierce face, covered in blood, covered in broken armor, and his internal organs were dragged outside, looking at the state of his soul condensation, it seemed to be thicker than himself, which also showed that his strength was extraordinary, at this time, the evil ghost grabbed Mu Qing with his arm full of scars and cracks, and shouted excitedly as if his mouth had been split by a knife:" I didn't expect the land of Nanshan to be so weak after disappearing for a hundred years, since this is the case, I will swallow you and do this land god for you, so as to remove the obstacle for my lord. After speaking, the evil ghost opened his bloody mouth and bit Mu Qing's arm, directly tearing off a large piece of skin and flesh, making Mu Qing's body color a little lighter.
Mu Qing was in a hurry, trying his best to break free, but he was suffering from the soul power of the evil ghost, and was firmly grasped by it, condensing his divine power to punch and kick as if hitting the stone slab, useless, the evil ghost gnawed him a few bites, and his body was a little more solid, looking at him, he was obviously a little impatient, and he opened his mouth to gnaw at Mu Qing's head. Under the urgency of the situation, Mu Qing took out the bamboo slips from the gourd and hit the evil ghost in the face, and the evil ghost was in a hurry, and then took a carving knife and stabbed it at the evil ghost's head, the evil ghost screamed miserably, took a few steps back, and let go of him, and Mu Qing took the opportunity to return to the statue and protect his body with divine power.
Although the evil ghost was wounded by him, his strength still existed, and in this case he could not run away from the evil ghost at all; the monsters in the mountains were too far away, and he did not know the situation here, and even if he arrived, he could only get rid of the evil ghosts and avenge him; and if he crossed the line, I am afraid that he would attract the ghosts and gods of the underworld, although he would be safe for a while, but he would expose the monsters in the mountains, and he would probably not end well. In this case, Mu Qing could only choose this idol that was contaminated with the divine power of his previous life.
The evil ghost was hit by Mu Qing's carving knife, screamed and took a few steps back, but also blocked the gate of the broken temple, after a while, he stopped screaming in pain, gathered strength, and forced Mu Qing's carving knife on his head little by little. When the carving knife "dangchang" landed, he was lucky to wrap the carving knife and the wooden slip in a cloud of black gas, so that Mu Qing lost his sense of them, and then looked at the god statue that emitted a faint light all over his body and laughed: "Hahahaha, you old man only has this ability, now you have no way to go to heaven and no way to go down to the ground, and the acquaintance still obediently walks out by himself and lets the uncle and me swallow it in one bite, which also saves you the pain of torn soul." As a result, he saw the idol holding up his crutches and pointing at him from afar, and he couldn't help but scold: "Hmph, don't eat and drink for toast!" Then he used his soul power, and his body exuded bursts of yin qi, and his fist was covered with a faint layer of miserable green ghost fire, rushing towards Mu Qing.
Before the evil ghost approached, Mu Qing felt the soul-burning pain brought by those fists, seeing this, he hurriedly gathered his divine power, raised his stick and hit the evil ghost on his head.
The evil ghost originally wanted to use this little ghost fire that he had not easily cultivated to break Mu Qing's body protection divine power, and then drag him out and swallow him, seeing Mu Qing hit with a stick, he casually raised an arm to resist, and didn't care too much, but he was broken by this stick The layers of ghost qi outside, and he fell to the ground heavily, and even the heavy soul power on his body dissipated a lot, he couldn't help but think of what the master said, the land temple here has a history of thousands of years, and although the land god has disappeared for thousands of years, there are still some treasures. Looking at the unsightly crutch, his heart couldn't help but get a little hotter, and then condensed the ghost fire and rushed towards Mu Qing again.
