Chapter 50: The snake demon sits and asks if cannibalism is true
The feeling of being calm and relaxed, and detached from this red dust on Jin Xiangdi's body seemed out of place in this small shop. A dark golden robe with fish-scale-like lines on it, at a glance, it looks like someone who shouldn't be here. Those who came here to eat porridge came in and saw this young man sitting in the innermost position at first glance.
Even with the eye of the shopkeeper, who has been open for more than 20 years, he can't see what the origin of the golden elephant is, saying that he is the son of the nobleman of the king and grandson, but it is impossible for the children of the nobleman of the king and grandson to come to a place like him, and they cannot show such a careful appearance. Judging by the shopkeeper, this man must be a man of great origin.
Jin Xiangdi drank millet porridge one by one, ate side dishes, listened to the discussions of the humans in the store, and felt the scrutinizing gaze that often slid over his face. I thought to myself: "This world is really incredible, even if that Zhengyuan is really a monster, he has never harmed anyone for so many years, but now no one thinks of his usual goodness, as if he is really a monster who troubles the world." There will never be such a thing in the mountains, at least I won't, I turned into a human being just to practice better, not to become such a person, I am still a snake demon. ”
In the distance, drums sounded, and gongs followed.
The people in the shop immediately got up to pay the bill, walked outside excitedly, and after entering the street, they hurried towards the direction of Xuanguan.
Only Jin Xiang Di and Xiao Jiu were still sitting there, and Jin Xiang Di was still drinking porridge like that. Xiao Jiu looked at Jin Xiangdi and asked, "How are you going to save people?" ”
Jin Xiangdi didn't answer, as if he was thinking, Xiao Jiu didn't wait for Jin Xiangdi to answer, he already snorted and stood up, grabbed his burden and walked outside. After leaving the Lingtai Sect, his temper seemed to become more and more violent.
The owner of the shop saw it in his eyes, and did not come up to ask for money, although he wanted to close the door of the store to see, but he did not act, he was still boiling porridge there.
There was a lot of noise in the distance, and the shopkeeper peeked out from the house, and then at the only customer. He suddenly thought in his heart: "This person is not a monster, the wicked man just now said that he wanted to save people, and now he has gone out again, is he going to save that monster?"
Thinking of this, he suddenly trembled, looked around, and there was no one, and his heart suddenly became afraid.
"No, no, how can it be a monster, the monsters are all cruel beasts with fierce gods and evil spirits, and they can't be so high. He thought to himself with relief, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "I don't know what country Gongzi is?"
Jin Xiangjie picked up a piece of pickled beast meat, chewed it gently, and did not answer the shopkeeper's words, but said, "I don't know what kind of beast meat this meat is?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly replied: "This is the month before when the children of the family went into the mountains to hunt and hunted the meat of a big snake. ”
The chopsticks that were originally stretched out by the golden elephant immediately stopped and stopped on the table.
The shopkeeper suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and heard the son in front of him say, "Have you ever heard of cannibalism?"
"Hui Gongzi, it is said that there was a cannibalism in the Qingsha Kingdom when there was a great wilderness, and there will never be such a thing in the Tianyuan Kingdom. The shopkeeper replied.
"If someone is deceived and pickles human flesh into delicious food, and cooks it for guests, where will it be after the guests know it?"
The shopkeeper listened to Jin Xiangdi's words, and thought to himself: "Why did he suddenly ask such a thing, how could there be such a person in this world." He immediately said, "If it were not between life and death, how could there be a cannibal." It is even more impossible to treat guests with human flesh, and Childe does not know where to hear such words. ”
Then he seemed to wake up to something, and hurriedly said: "Childe, don't realize it, this meat is definitely not human flesh, it is indeed a big snake that a few children of my family hunted in Huangshi Ridge a month ago." ”
In the midst of his nervous explanation, he saw Jin Xiangdi suddenly raise his head and smile at him, although the smile was very stiff, but he also knew that the unknown son in front of him did not doubt himself. I only heard the boy in the dark gold robe in front of him say: "I will eat you two bowls of corn porridge, and I have no money to pay you, so I will pay you back with this." ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and before he came back to his senses, the golden light in front of him was shining, and he rushed up from the window, he shouted, and threw himself to the window to look, only to see a person stepping on a white cloud in the extremely high sky.
"Immortals, driving the fog and clouds, the real immortals. The shopkeeper couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
He chased out of the house and ran towards the Xuanji Temple, where there were few pedestrians. He heard an exclamation from a distance, and then heard someone in the sky shouting majestically and asking, "Who said that my Lingtai Sect disciple is a monster?"
When the voice fell, I saw the golden light filling the sky, and there was a faint mystical sound.
By the time he came to his senses, the golden light had already dissipated. He ran to the Xuanji Temple, only to see people kneeling down in a circle on the side of the altar of the wooden tower, and there were demon beasts lying in a pool of blood on the altar. Another Zhengyuan National Master knelt down in front of a young man in a dark gold robe, and at the same time heard the Zhengyuan National Master who had turned gray and shouted: "Disciple Zhengyuan, meet Uncle Shi." ”
I saw that the young man nodded, but he didn't hear what he said, and he had already stepped on the golden light.
He did not see the process, but the beginning and the result. Looking at the people who were stepping on the golden light, I heard the king shouting: "Immortal Chief, please stay, the widow has something to say, and the widow will set up a banquet for the Immortal Chief......"
He didn't hear any other sound behind him, the little golden light in his eyes diffused, it was foggy, he couldn't see anything, and there was still a faint sound in his ears.
When he came back to his senses, he saw a person jumping on the altar at some point, raised his hand and pulled out the knife on his back, cut off the hind legs of the demon beast lying in blood, peeled off the skin three times and twice, and opened his mouth to bite a big bite, dripping with blood. Another knife stabbed the demon beast's stomach, reached into it and pulled it out for a while, and when he took it out, he already had an extra heart.
He put the knife into the sheath, opened his mouth and took a bite of the heart, and looked around, and the people retreated one after another, with a look of fear on their faces, and saw him pick up the other leg of the beast, and leap down from the altar, and the people gathered in front of the altar were scattered, and in an instant they gave way for him to leave.
The shopkeeper recognized him as the old man who had gone from his shop, and at that time he felt that he was not good, but now that he dared to eat monsters raw, he was shocked and thought: "People around the immortals can eat monsters raw, and I will ask the painter to draw a portrait of it and paste it on the door to stop the demons and settle down in the town." ”
This corn porridge shop became the largest restaurant in Tianyuan Kingdom after a long time, and the restaurant was named "Jinxian Zawenlou." And one of the shopkeepers' favorite words is the conversation with the Golden Elephant.
In each generation of later generations, there are people who ponder the meaning of Jin Xiangdi's words, and each has its own judgment, and the only consensus is the sentence "I eat you two bowls of corn porridge, and I don't have any money to pay you, so I will pay you back this", all of them believe that he is using the evil thing as corn porridge money.
I can't help but sigh one by one, the immortals act differently.
They only knew this, and they didn't know what happened after the Golden Elephant left, and they didn't know what he said to Zhengyuan Guoshi on the altar.
There is also such a record in the national history of Tianyuan Kingdom: "In the seventeenth year of Tianyuan Zhongping, Shi Zhengyuan was humiliated, and the king covered him, and hung his master in the city for five days, and he will be sacrificed to the sky, and his uncle will come." The golden light fills the sky, the fragrance is fragrant, and the fairy sound is faint. The demon ambushed, and the uncle went away. Another person jumped three feet onto the altar, cut off the demon's legs, took out the demon's heart, and ate it raw, and went away in an instant. ”
Zhengyuan became the national teacher of Tianyuan again, in and out of the palace, when he returned to the Xuanji Temple in the middle of the night, he saw a person standing under the peach tree in the view, and he hurriedly stepped forward to meet his uncle.
Jin Xiangdi looked at the disciple of Senior Brother Huiyan in front of him, and couldn't help but think of Senior Brother Huiyan, and after thinking about it seriously, Senior Brother Huiyan can actually be called his master, although he didn't teach him any spells, he enlightened him and taught him many things.
At this time, when Jin Xiangdi looked back, he realized that the real enlightenment did not lie in the opening of the spiritual platform at the last moment, but in the opening of the Dao heart before the enlightenment. Therefore, Xiao Jiu asked Jin Xiangdi if he wanted to lure Hyacinth into Lingshan, because he was a little bit of a spiritual taste for Hyacinth at that time.
"Senior Brother Huiyan is dead. Jin Xiangdi said, he said very directly.
Zhengyuan was stunned for a moment, and then a sadness welled up on his face, and after a long time, he asked, "Where is Shizun buried?"
"Buried in a mountain more than 3,000 miles away from here, Senior Brother Zhitong knocked down four mountain ranges as a grave mound, and traveled more than 3,000 miles to the west, which should be found. After Jin Xiangdi finished speaking, he described the place where Huiyan was buried. He seemed to have forgotten that eight years had passed, and the place where Huiyan was buried had deviated from what he remembered.
Zhengyuan was silent for a long time, and after a period of silence, he said, "The disciple has something to ask for. ”
"What's the matter?" asked the Golden Elephant.
"When Master was alive, although he never said that there was an uncle and uncle, we all guessed that Master must have an extraordinary teacher's inheritance, and our cultivation method is different from the Tao, which seems to be simple, but in fact it is broad. It's a pity that the disciple is reckless by nature and can't learn the slightest bit of the master's wonderful method. ”
Jin Xiang Di looked at it, as far as the cultivation of Tianzi was concerned, Jin Xiang Di was really inconclusive. The innate condition of the physical body is of course important for a person's cultivation, but in Jin Xiangdi's view, the mind is even more important.
And the Zhengyuan body in front of him looks good, and he is a disciple of Senior Brother Huiyan, and his cultivation thoughts will definitely not be bad, but his mana is so low, it must be because he is a national teacher here, and he is haunted by red dust.
"There is a great supernatural person like Master Zhitong, who has already avenged the master, and the disciple wants to go to worship the master, and from then on he will stay in front of the master's grave and no longer set foot in the red dust. Zhengyuan said.
Jin Xiangdi looked at his sad face, and already understood in his heart why Senior Brother Huiyan would accept him as a disciple.
He also said: "The disciple's fate with Tianyuan Kingdom has ended, but there is nothing to be nostalgic for, only once said that he would introduce Feng Xin'er to the master, and now the master is gone, and the disciple begs the uncle to accept this girl as an apprentice." ”
Jin Xiangdi did not answer directly, and continued to ask noncommittally: "Is this it?
Zhengyuan hurriedly said: "When the master left back then, he said that he wanted to open a sect, and the mountain gate had been selected, but over the years, the disciples have been entangled in mundane affairs, and they have no time to go back to see, and they don't know what is happening in the sect now." At this, a deep worry welled up on his face.
