Chapter Twenty-Six: Cracking the Eight Fires Chain
After Ning Fu apprenticed, he followed Master Yi Xing to the deep mountains to cultivate.
He first learned from the foundation, standing on the pile, meditating, practicing qi, and so on, Yi Xing began to teach him fist and foot routines, as well as the art of changing flight, Ning Fu studied hard, and within ten years, his skills have been greatly improved compared to before.
At noon on this day, Yi Xing called Ning Fu to his side and said, "After many years of cultivation, I don't know how you have entered, and I want to test you as a teacher." ”
Ning Fu said: "Master's question is. Ning Fu will go all out. ”
Yi Xing pointed to the north and said: "Ten thousand meters away from here, there is a garden of ten thousand grasses, and there is a fairy grass in the garden, called 'Turin', which is shaped like the palm of a hand. This grass is not trivial, if ordinary people eat it, they can live forever, and their strength will be greatly increased; like our people who cultivate Buddhism and Taoism, once the spirit grass is in the stomach, it is worth a hundred years of cultivation, not only the skill is improved, but also the body is as light as a swallow, and it can enter the top of the clouds. You can go there now, pick it and eat it. It's just that there are many difficulties on the road, and we have to overcome them one by one before we can reach them. ”
Ning Fu had been in the mountains for a long time, and he had long been eager to try, and wanted to go out to experience the experience, and when he heard the master say this, it was exactly what he wanted, and he hurriedly replied: "Master rest assured, the disciple has written everything down." After packing up a bit, I set off.
Out of the deep mountain, two or three hundred meters later, suddenly encountered a giant python blocking the way, the python body is as thick as a bowl, the head is covered with blood-red triangular sarcoma, the appearance is very terrifying, Ning Fu wanted to leap over, but the body moved, the python opened its huge mouth, spit out a crimson poisonous mist, Ning Fu took a few breaths, couldn't help but look black in front of him, almost fainted.
He hurriedly took a few steps back and held his breath, only then did he feel better, on the one hand, he used his internal strength to slowly force out the poisonous mist he inhaled, and on the other hand, he secretly calculated how to deal with this giant python.
When he was still fighting against poison, he listened to the python spit out and said to himself: "This is my python's territory, and I can't pass through it when I am idle." What kind of character are you, how can you be so bold. ”
Ning Fu didn't slowly reply until he forced all the poisonous mist out of his body and exhaled a breath of turbidity: "I am a cultivator, I am going to the Ten Thousand Grass Garden to pick the spiritual grass today, please make it convenient, otherwise I will have to be rude." ”
The python said angrily: "Hairy boy, Hugh has to speak wildly. My giant python was subdued by the Buddha two hundred years ago, and since then, I have been practicing here, you are young, you can have many avenues, and dare to compete with this snake. ”
Ning Fu was invaded by the poisonous fog, and his mind was still confused, knowing that what he said was true, but he refused to give in, so he had to stiffen his head and say: "The matter has come to this point, there is no other way, it's a big deal to risk my life, in short, I have to break through this level." ”
The python pondered for a while, and reluctantly said: "Okay, for the sake of the same origin of Buddhism, this snake is not too difficult for you." But I can't let you go so easily, then my face will not look good. I have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, well, well, that's good, in addition to spitting fog, this snake is also good at breathing fire, there is a kung fu called 'Eight Fire Chain', is to spit out eight blue fires in the mouth, the blue fire floats in the air, because the front and back are connected end to end, just to form a ring. You are trapped, see how you can move, you can get out of the fire array, as long as you can get out, even if you win, the road is free to go in and out. You don't think it's going to work. ”
Ning Fu has reached the present, how can there be any way out, and he promised: "Okay, that's it, Ning Fu is willing to give it a try." ”
The python said coldly: "This snake can talk ugly words in front, this blue fire is not an extraordinary fire, as long as there is a little bit of it on the body, there will be great disasters, even if you are a disciple of cultivation, it is no exception." ”
Ning Fu smiled bitterly: "I will be careful in the future." ”
The python was no longer verbose, it raised its head and squirmed, and after a while, eight blue flames poured out of its mouth one after another, the same size as the lantern, driven by the python, and immediately flew over, surrounding Ning Fu, and becoming a big ring of fire. Ning Fu ran high and low, looking at the empty space and preparing to jump out, but when he was high, the fire ring was also high, and when he was low, the fire ring was also low, like a maggot on the tarsal bone.
If Ning Fu stood still, the eight blue flames hit one after another, in this situation, he could only dodge sideways, it didn't take long and he was tired and covered with sweat, if he continued like this, sooner or later it would be worse, he dodged, carefully watched the blue fire coming, tried to find out the flaws in it, and then cracked it. After about a stick of incense, I finally figured out the attributes of the fire array, it turned out that the blue fire was distributed according to the eight trigrams, which were Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui eight directions, and many changes were derived from the gossip.
Ning Fu pondered for a long time, a plan came to his mind, he saw that the blue flame on the cadre position was about to fly over, he should have avoided the side, but he was hard under his feet, and actually jumped towards the Kun position opposite the cadre position. As soon as the words fell, when he saw that Ning Fu was about to jump to the Kun position, he suddenly stopped his body, and then even if he came out of the great kung fu in the Buddhist gate, he tightened his abdomen and chest, and his body immediately shrank several times, and the blue flame brushed Ning Fu's body and continued to fly forward, and the distance between them was only an inch.
This sudden change occurred, and the python was secretly frightened, and couldn't help but admire his courage and superb kung fu. Using the above method, Ning Fu extinguished all the eight flames, he stretched out his sleeves to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, stepped forward and said, "Python, I have broken the 'Eight Flames Chain' now, you should let me pass." The python laughed: "Haha, this is natural." What we agreed, how could the python break its promise. From now on, you can walk around here, and the python will never stop you. After saying that, he went into a big hole in the ground and disappeared in an instant.
