Chapter 3: The Ladder
Liu Mi didn't dare to run away, so he got up and followed the tiger closely. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The tiger trekked through mountains and rivers and walked towards the outside of Taihang Mountain.
Halfway through, the tiger stopped on a hillside and said in a sullen voice: "There are still two things to sweep, you are waiting for me here." ”
This mountain is refreshing, there is no fishy, it turns out that this tiger also has a habit of cleanliness.
On the hillside there is a flat turf with several flat boulders on the turf.
The tiger walked over to the turf and lay down lazily. Liu Mi thought about it for a while, and then became sleepy, so he simply lay down and fell asleep.
The tiger opened his eyes and said lazily: "I am not surprised by the changes, but I can make a difference." ”
Sleeping until night, Liu Mi's hungry stomach hurts, but when he wakes up, he finds that the tiger is quietly leaving.
Only Liu Mi is left on the mountain, and he can take the opportunity to run away.
But tonight the dark clouds cover the moon, and the dark mountain road is not easy to walk.
After sitting in place for a while, Liu Mi's curiosity came up and he couldn't help but quietly follow.
However, when I turned over the mountain beam, I faced a pair of copper bell eyes.
"Hmm......" It turned out that the tiger had been lying in ambush behind the mountain beam, spying on Liu Mi.
Liu Mi secretly rejoiced in his heart, but fortunately he didn't have any luck.
"You have the courage to be a son of man, and you may be able to achieve the Great Dao in the future, and it is worth my good fate. ”
The tiger walked in front, shook the tiger's tail and whispered, "I will kill the monkey spirit tonight and destroy the evil tiger and ghost." You have followed me for a long time and realized it carefully. If you embark on the path of cultivation in the future, it will be of great benefit. ”
It is difficult to walk at night in the mountains, and the tiger leads the way in front, and the road chosen is quite appropriate.
Liu Mi fell a few times, but he didn't fall, but his palm was burning on the stone, and it hurt hotly.
In the blink of an eye, I heard the monkey making noise, and it turned out that I had already reached the place where the monkeys often moved.
The tiger stopped and roared at the monkey mountain.
This roar was like thunder, and Liu Mi was terrified.
After the tiger roared, he listened attentively for a moment, and explained to Liu Mi: "Immortality and hegemony cannot be both. The monkey on this mountain is trying to become a monster, but he is reluctant to dominate his children and grandchildren, so he wants to destroy it. ”
Liu Mi was puzzled, "You must kill it?"
"If this monkey is isolated and lives alone, I cannot harm it. But if it tries to be king and hegemon in the mountains, it cannot be tolerated. ”
Monkey Mountain was dead silent, apparently not taking the tiger in his eyes.
The tiger stared at the Monkey Mountain, the big eyes of the copper bell suddenly gave birth to a fine light, and after the fine light, a gust of wind, this gust of wind carried the spirit of the tiger and rushed towards the Monkey Mountain!
Liu Mi's ears were buzzing, and he was deafened by the shock, and his legs trembled and fell to the ground.
On Monkey Mountain, there was also a commotion, with monkeys roaring and the sound was deafening.
"It's so strong!" Liu Mi's heart throbbed, if I have the ability to be a tiger, I still need to be afraid of Buddha?
“...... King, dare to ask you what kind of exercise this is?" Watching the tiger take back the released essence little by little, Liu Mi was moved and asked loudly.
"This is the most basic cultivation method, called "Tiger Change", this exercise focuses on cultivating one's own body, practicing one breath inside, and practicing muscles and bones outside, and when you practice to the extreme, you can generate wind, and you can kill people with a kick of your eyes. Little by little, the tiger regained his momentum, turned his head and said to Liu Mi, "Want to learn?"
"Ask the king to bring the younger generation into the Tao!" Liu Mi's heart moved, the Buddha is a tiger, but the momentum of the Buddha is not so tiger Haoran.
If you learn "Tiger Change", will you be able to kill the Buddha and avenge the enslavement in captivity?
"If you promise me one thing, I will teach you "Tiger Transformation: Haoran Righteousness", and show you how to build the foundation of the Dao. Tiger said.
"Listen to the king!"
At this time, there was a terrible scene on the Monkey Mountain, and after a while, the branches of the trees broke and roared violently, as if there were monkeys fighting on the trees.
The tiger just stood here, motionless.
The roar on the monkey mountain rises and falls, continuously, and occasionally there is the sound of monkeys screaming and heavy objects falling to the ground.
After about half an hour, there was a wail on the monkey mountain, and there was a burly monkey of more than one meter, using both hands and feet, dragging an object, galloping over, resting at the feet of the tiger, and retreating, respectfully prostrate on the ground.
Liu Mi stepped forward to take a look, this thing was covered with white hair, blurred flesh and blood, open flesh and flesh, and the skull was exposed.
I didn't recognize it at first sight, but after looking closely, Liu Mi took a breath of cold air: it was an old monkey, this old monkey was extremely old, the hair on his whole body was white, his fangs were two inches, and his claws were as hard as eagle claws.
Looking at the burly monkey again, his body was also drenched in blood, and his injuries were not light.
"It was the monkey civil strife, and the new monkey king killed the old monkey king. ”
After a while, a group of female monkeys came over with seven or eight dead monkey cubs in their arms, all of which were also lowered and lined up in a row.
Liu Mi counted, the little monkey and the half-big monkey, there were five in total.
"Those who follow the heavens can become enlightened. Those who rebel against the sky can dominate. Immortality and prosperity cannot be achieved at the same time, and this old monkey delusionally wants to take advantage of all the benefits and dies of greed. ”
"You guys do it for yourselves. The tiger shook his head, then he roared, and did not eat the monkey corpse on the ground, but turned and left.
Liu Mi hurriedly followed.
The tiger took Liu Mi for several miles, but he didn't know where he went, when suddenly a fishy wind blew, and the smell was pungent.
"You're waiting for me here. The tiger asked Liu Mi to squat in the gap between the two stones, jumped on the stones by himself, and roared with his head held high.
He roared for a long time, but there was no response.
"Bad luck. The tiger was depressed and jumped down from the stone, "You are waiting here, you are hungry after a night's walk, I will go and get some salary, please eat with you, and you will not forget my kindness in the future." ”
The tiger caught a yellow sheep, and by the stream at the bottom of the mountain, he opened his stomach and ate the soft and chewy organs.
Liu Mi searched for some firewood in the dark and raised a fire to roast a leg of mutton.
After smelling the fragrance, the tiger also came over and instructed Liu Mi to barbecue the meat, "It's burnt, take it off!"
Eating and drinking, Liu Mi guarded the fire, but the tiger didn't know where to run.
In the second half of the night, Liu Mi faintly heard a tiger roar.
There is no shortage of tigers howling and wolves howling in the mountains, and Liu Mi lay down and slept soundly and never got up.
Suddenly I smelled a smell of blood, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that the tiger had returned, and there was a lot of blood on its hair, and the tiger was combing itself.
On the other side of the fire, there was a shivering hairy monster, and on closer inspection, it was a ragged man.
"What's going on?" Liu Mi was puzzled, how did the tiger catch someone?
"Do you know that Heaven and Earth are constant?" the tiger asked after licking the blood, turning his head to look at Liu Mi.
"I don't know. ”
"......" The tiger glared at Liu Mi and shook his head as if regretful, "You are a man who is full of courage, but you are not afraid when you see the Tiger King." If you don't make a great way, you will become a thief. ”
"Monkey demons, evil tigers and ghosts have always been a big problem in my heart, and I can't solve it after half a year of hard work. With you tonight, everything went well, and it seems that you have luck. The wounds on the tiger's body have stopped bleeding, and it seems to like Liu Mi very much, "I will pass on your "Tiger Change", but I want to tell you the avenue and the ladder first." Don't forget my kindness in the future. ”
Under a campfire in the mountains, the tiger told a great story.
"So that you know that the way of heaven has a spirit, the Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, refining the earth, water, fire and wind, and casting the human world. and put among them all beasts and beasts and a hundred beasts. ”
......
“...... The great sage Li Er Lao Dan suppressed the luck of the eastern soil and left a book "Tao Te Ching". ”
“...... Kong Qiu, Mo Zhai, and Han Fei shared morality and practiced a law. Kong Qiu majored in the inside, Mo Zhai majored in the outside, and Han Fei complexed the inside and outside. ”
"This is the famous [one gasification and three clearing]. ”
"If people can get the power of Kong Qiu, Mo Zhai, and Han Fei, they will be able to understand the Great Dao, like the great sage Li Er turning into purple qi and returning. ”
......
After the tiger finished speaking, he looked left and right for a long time before continuing: "Kongqiu Kong Zhongni, major in cultivating one's own body, refining essence, energy, muscles, bones and skin. If one wants to learn the Tao, one must start with Confugitive. ”
......
"First learn to be an adult, then study all things in heaven and earth, and finally become one with heaven and man, practice morality, and climb the ladder of heaven. ”
"The ladder is a mountain. ”
......
"If you climb the ladder, you can't stop, and if you stop, you die. ”
......
"The Word has been spoken, and you have to walk the road on your own. The fate of you and I as master and apprentice has ended, and the teacher has brought you into the Tao, so you can do one thing for me. The tiger held his head high and squinted his eyes and stroked the tiger's whiskers, and the king's domineering spirit erupted, and it was like a mountain and a sea in an instant.
"Teacher, please speak. ”
"Do you see this man?" the tiger raised its paws and pointed at the furry creature on the other side of the fire.
"Servants?" Liu Mi had only heard of ghosts.
"Scholars are divided into three classes, the upper scholars are like the Tiger King, the middle scholars are like the evil tiger, and the lower scholars are like the Yin Ghost...... They, the elders among the people, ghosts, and evil scholars. ”
The villain is like a ghost, and the ghost is a talented villain.
"I'm here to keep watch, but I'm the Tiger King. The tiger glared at the servant and said angrily, "All tigers except me must die." This scholar is a tiger and will be put to death. ”
"Go over and kill him. The tiger said suddenly.
Liu Mi's heart suddenly broke out, and he had the intention to refuse, but he was afraid that after refusing, he would be killed by this tiger.
The tiger didn't rush, lying there pronely, waiting for Liu Mi to make a decision.
"One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, it is difficult to obey the people, and the husband should have the heart of a tiger and wolf. Liu Mi gritted his teeth, stood up, and walked towards the servant.
The tiger squinted his eyes and said secretly in his heart: "This servant has long been scared to death by me, but if you have murderous intentions, you will be stained with cause and effect." Of course, I dragged you into the water, but if I use the real Confucianism and Taoism to compensate you and let you take the ancient Confucian road, you can't complain about me, but you should accept my feelings. ”
Liu Mi walked halfway, stopped, looked at the tiger and asked, "You taught me the exercises, can you destroy the Buddha?"
"I don't know, but it can make you as strong as a tiger. ”
Liu Mi clenched his fists, rushed towards the servant, and punched the servant.
Liu Mi thought that this was a desperate struggle, but he didn't expect the servant to fall in response, it turned out that he was already dead, and his body was stiff.
"Very well, if you kill this man, I will have a reason to teach you "Tiger Change", and you will have a reason to pay a debt for me. ”
The tiger left with Liu Mi and explained the matter on the way.
Two years ago, the tiger was forcing the old monkey to leave the monkey mountain, but suddenly a foreign tiger ran here.
One-on-one, the tiger was not afraid of outsiders, and also bit the shoulder of the alien tiger.
Unexpectedly, after a year and a half of delay, this evil tiger actually colluded with the Terran scholars. The scholar instructed it how to do evil and covered it up, and the evil tiger bribed the scholar with money and clothes.
Liu Mi's heart moved, two years ago...... Isn't it the day when the Buddha came to Mount Wutai?
The Buddha is indeed a tiger.
"This scholar is a local, and he has a widowed mother at home. If he is killed, his widow will be desolate at night, and his reputation will be hindered. ”
"I'll teach you "Tiger Transformation", cultivate Tiger Transformation, you can cultivate Haoran righteousness, you can follow the ancient Confucian way, and break through the threshold of life and death with chivalry. This old woman still has a few years to live, how about you take the tank for me for five years?" the tiger squinted and whispered.
"I am willing to serve the king!" "Accompanying the tiger is like accompanying the Buddha, Liu Mi eliminated the distracting thoughts in his heart and said sincerely.
"Very good, there are thousands of false stories, and a true word is transmitted, you come with your ears, and I will guide you to the mystery of the Tiger Scholar's Dao. The tiger stood up and let Liu Mi pass.
Liu Mi went over, squatted down, and sent his head over.
The tiger whispered in Liu Mi's ear: "Kill yourself to become benevolent, sacrifice your life for righteousness, benevolence and righteousness can break the barrier of life and death." ”
Huh?" But...... I'm not afraid of dying anymore, am I?"
The tiger froze for a moment when he heard this, looked at Liu Mi carefully, and said: "The first weight of "Tiger Change", the tiger is powerful, the cultivation is successful, and it can reach the realm of innate martial artists, you listen carefully......"
