On a hill not far from Hongye Town, a dilapidated mountain temple stands inconspicuously there, half of the wall is down, the plaque that has long been unrecognizable, the courtyard overgrown with weeds, only the main hall of half of the mountain god statue remains, and the only side house that can shelter from the wind and rain, this is the place where Lao Zhangtou is sheltered in Hongye Town.

“......”

“......”

At this time, Lao Zhangtou and Zheng Tang, an old man and a young man, were staring at each other in this mountain temple, neither of them said a word, if outsiders saw this scene, it was estimated that they would feel very weird, and on the table between the two, a disc emitting seven-colored light was buzzing, which was mysterious.

"I said, old man. Zheng Tang couldn't help this atmosphere at first, and asked, "You give me a quasi-word, what does this mean? You let me touch this...... I touched the magic weapon, the compass, and how did it become like this? Is this good or bad?"

"Seven spirits! It turned out to be seven spirits!" Lao Zhangtou didn't seem to hear Zheng Tang's voice at all, but muttered vigorously: "It's really been a long life, it's possible to see anything, I actually saw a person with seven spirits, God, old man, I'm a righteous monk, everything I do is going with the sky, are you kidding me!"

"Old Zhangtou!" Zheng Tang couldn't bear it anymore, roared, and called Lao Zhangtou's soul back, seeing Lao Zhangtou looking at him, he asked the question just now.

"This disc is called the Seven Spirit Compass, and it is a magic weapon for determining the qualifications of monks. Lao Zhangtou sighed and said: "What color of light is lit up, it means what attribute of the spiritual root, the seven spiritual roots of the five elements of yin and yang, corresponding to the seven colors." ”

"Ah!?" Zheng Tang said in surprise: "Then now that this disc is lit up with seven colors of light, doesn't it mean that I have all seven spiritual roots of the five elements of yin and yang?

"I don't know if it's a genius, it's true that there is nothing in ten thousand, after all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and I haven't even heard of anyone with seven spirits, I've only seen it in some ancient books, and the most important thing is ......" Lao Zhangtou said decadently: "Even in ancient books, among the monks who have successfully built the foundation, there are only six spirit roots at most!"

"Uh, that's not ......"

"Waste wood! complete waste wood!" Lao Zhangtou said bluntly: "Although the life span of a monk is far beyond that of mortals, it is limited after all, and even if he really becomes an immortal, there will be a day when he falls, if the cultivation speed is too slow, he will not be able to wait for the next time to break through the bottleneck, and he will die because of the exhaustion of longevity." ”

"......" Zheng Tang was silent.

"Seriously, the more spiritual roots, the more complicated, the lower the qualifications, the slower the cultivation speed, the seven spirits, maybe until the longevity is exhausted, it will be difficult to build a foundation successfully, and if you can't even build a foundation, there is no point in cultivating, if you don't have perseverance, then it's better to be a mortal. ”

"......" Zheng Tang was silent for a moment, smiled and said: "There is nothing to hesitate, no matter how difficult it is, you always have to give it a try, if you just retreat like this, then I will only regret it." ”

"It's a little ambitious, it's okay, after all, the Heavenly Dao is nine deaths, and there is still a glimmer of life after all, but then again......" Lao Zhangtou pointed to Zheng Tang's forehead and said: "That's the golden seal on your forehead, it's the imprint of the golden spirit root, and you already have a golden seal, how can the seven-colored light still be so balanced?"

Zheng Tang didn't speak, just stretched out his hands, only to see that the palms of his hands each had a mark of the same style as the mark on his forehead, but a mark of different composition, and then he took off the cloth shoes on his feet, only to see that there was also a mark on the instep, and finally, he opened the placket, and at the mouth of his heart, a circle composed of black and white small fish was very eye-catching.

"The left hand watermark, the right hand fire mark, the right foot wood mark, the left foot soil mark, the forehead gold seal, the heart Yin and Yang Pisces!" Lao Zhangtou sighed: "The seven spirits are all complete and all exposed, and there has never been one in the ancient books, even I can't tell whether you are a genius or a waste material, everything still depends on chance." ”

"Chance Creation?" Zheng Tang couldn't understand the word.

Lao Zhang Tou didn't explain directly, but asked rhetorically, "Boy, do you know what the three most important elements of cultivation are?"

Zheng Tang was stunned for a moment, thought about it and said, "Qualification, and ...... Exercises and resources!"

Lao Zhangtou shook his head and said, "Wrong! Qualifications are very important, but the exercises and resources still can't be compared with qualifications. ”

"And what are the remaining two?"

"One is the state of mind, and the other is the creation of chance!"

"Mood, chance, what the hell?" Although there is little hope, it is not a dead end, so Zheng Tang is no longer sad and has recovered his original optimistic and funny character.

"Ghost you are big, listen well, qualifications, that is just the innate condition of the body, and the state of mind is the real master of the primordial gods, empty qualifications, no state of mind cultivators, may be able to dominate their peers in the early stage, but once they encounter a bottleneck, they will stagnate, and the creation of chance is even more mysterious, even if it is a real immortal, it is difficult to understand the mystery. ”

"Chance Creation ......" Zheng Tang softly recalled the word, and at this time, he felt that he had grasped something in the dark, but when he wanted to see it clearly, that spiritual light disappeared immediately, as if it had never appeared.

"In addition, if you have any skill, even if it is very skillful, fast running, etc., it will be helpful for the spiritual path. ”

As a generation of thieves, Zheng Tang's stealing skills are not comparable to ordinary thieves, and he is also familiar with stealing, at least in his "industry", he has stood at the highest peak!

In fact, even the reason why Zheng Tang came to this world is related to stealing, and his qualifications, in the words of Lao Zhangtou, are all explicit, because he stole something that may not have been stolen, stealing for Zheng Tang is no different from eating and sleeping, almost instinctive.

At least in Zheng Tang's eyes, this can be said to be the foundation of his life, more than ten years ago, he has not made a move, but now is not the time for scruples and entanglements, for the sake of practice, for the sake of the old Zhang Tou's mouth of chance creation, for the sake of his family, although Zheng Tang is not an unscrupulous person, but stealing this is almost an instinctive skill, Zheng Tang has no intention of giving up.
