Chapter 60: The Poor Man (Part 2)
Zhao Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if to say that you didn't kill that baby, it's really good.
The old monster said: "After I went back, my master has also heard a little about what I have done, and the slaughter of mortals by cultivators is a taboo in the world of cultivating immortals, and it is the anger of people and gods! My master is a person who is not good or evil, and not only did he not blame me for taking revenge and killing many people, but also praised me for my filial piety!"
Zhao Yu frowned, and said in his heart: "Your master is very evil, no wonder you are also so evil." What kind of master there is, what kind of apprentice!"
The old man of the fire said: "Later, I was lucky enough to get the fire spirit bead in a cave, and my Taoism traveled thousands of miles in a day, and it was thriving, and soon my Taoism was no longer under my master." My master is a hypocrite, he is a complete hypocrite, he coveted my fire spirit bead, and secretly poisoned me again and again, and finally he did die under my fire spirit bead, and his bones were gone, and he was turned into ashes!"
This surprised Zhao Yu.
Killing a teacher, it is a big rebellion anywhere, like killing a father, it is a rebellion that people and gods are angry about, the fire is very weird and evil, it is not surprising that he did such a thing, hey, this pair of master and apprentice, apprentice is despicable, master is shameless, unparalleled in the world!
The fire old monster said again: "After I got the fire spirit bead, my path is not the same as before. Once, when I went back to my hometown to pay respects to my parents, I found that their graves had been dug up! I was furious, and I arrested some villagers and pressed them to ask them, and finally I learned that some of the people of the small sect who claimed to be righteous had done it. What bullshit, a bunch of shameless people, I killed a few of their disciples, and they pouted the graves of my parents. I was so angry that I found their Daomen and began to kill, and the first person I met was a young man surnamed Li, who killed me in one move, and before he died, he shouted in horror: "It's him, it's him!" More than 100 people in their Daomen were slaughtered by me, and they were all vulnerable. There are few who can support ten moves under my fire spirit beads, but which of them has some skills, but the Dao technique used is the Dao method of the four major Qingyi factions, and it is expected that they are outcasts of the Qingyi faction, and they fought with me for an hour before they were defeated and died. It was very rare for the monastic sect to be destroyed, and it also attracted the attention of the righteous path at that time, and the Qingyi sect also sent an elder to investigate the matter, but the final investigation result was the work of the demon sect. I continued to investigate for a while, but I didn't find any other results, so I didn't see it. Haha, the righteous people are hypocritical, and then they learned that I did it, what can they do with me?"
Zhao Yu thought to himself: "The old fire monster kills people without blinking, does he treat me sincerely? He does not hesitate to teach him with fire spirit beads, what is the purpose? It won't be for my earth spirit beads, right? If so, it is too simple for him to take my life, so why should he pass on my double cultivation method." It doesn't matter if he has any ill will towards me or not, but this man is a murderer, the killing is too heavy, and his temper is strange, so I have to be careful!" He pretended to be curious and said, "What about the baby you took away, what to do with it, you won't cook him and eat it, right?"
The old monster smiled and said, "Little Lao'er, I don't eat human flesh, why do you care so much about that baby?" That baby and Zhao Yu are hundreds of years apart, and there will definitely be no relationship between them.
Zhao Yu didn't know why he cared about the baby's safety.
The reason is very simple, that is, Zhao Yu also had an experience similar to that baby, and the whole family was also wiped out.
The old fire monster said lightly: "I didn't do anything with him, I took him away and fostered him in a farmer's house." That farmer's family was thousands of miles away from my hometown, and I didn't want him to get involved in the grievances of the previous generation, so I gave the farmer a lot of money that they could not spend in their lifetime. I let them give birth to and raise the baby, provide him with education, help him marry a daughter-in-law, let him have children, and live an ordinary life. ”
Zhao Yu thought to himself: "The fire monster is not bad to the bone, and he still has a little conscience. He said, "What about then?"
The old fire monster said: "I will go to see him silently once every twenty years. The farmer kept his word, hired the best teacher to teach him to read, and treated him like his own son. When he was twenty years old, I went to see him secretly, when his adoptive father and adoptive mother married him a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law. By the time he was forty years old, his two sons and one daughter had grown up. After all, mortals are mortals, and they experience the way of nature prematurely, birth, old age, sickness and death. When he was 60 years old, he was full of children and grandchildren, but his body was getting weaker and weaker, and he relied on ginseng soup all day long, and there was not much time left. I remembered the feelings of the past, and secretly put some strange medicine in his ginseng soup. Although these miraculous medicines have little effect on us cultivators, they have the effect of prolonging the life of mortals. I also got this miracle medicine from a friend. He glanced at Zhao Yu lightly and said: "Although this medicine is not as magical as the Rejuvenation Pill in terms of saving people and prolonging their lives, it also has a good effect, and it is not something that people can get casually." ”
Zhao Yuqi said: "Rejuvenation Pill? What is Rejuvenation Pill?"
The fire old monster shook his head and said, "It's nothing, hey, the effect of that medicine is really effective." After he drank it, he was able to get out of bed and move in less than half an hour, and his spirit was much younger. Seeing him regain his health, I left silently. The medicine I gave him would have given him another twenty years. Twenty years later, and the last time I went, two months after he died, I sat in front of his grave for a whole day and a night, thinking a lot, using the earth as a bed and the sky as a quilt, saying a lot to him, and drinking a lot of wine. He has never seen me in his life, let alone knew my existence, his life was ruined by me, and I also gave him an ordinary life. The next morning, I placed the gold lock engraved with the inscription of a hundred years old in front of his grave and left silently. ”
Zhao Yu quietly didn't say a word, fell into deep thought, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Where is your hometown?"
The fire old monster smiled faintly: "No tears town." ”
"What?" Zhao Yu exclaimed.
The old fire monster smiled: "When I was a child, I used to chop firewood on the Wuling Mountain, and at that time our family was very poor, so we rented the land of the rich man's family to cultivate, and when the harvest was good, the family could still keep some rations. In the event of a natural disaster, the harvest will be reduced, the land rent will not be paid, and the whip will be suffered. In my spare time, I often go up to the mountains to chop some firewood and sell it to share some burdens with my family.
Zhao Yu thought to himself: "No wonder the fire monster is so familiar with the terrain of Wuling Mountain, and he is also very familiar with that hidden cave, I guess I used to go there to play when I was a child." However, he put the Fire Spirit Bead on top of the Fog Spirit Mountain, and with his understanding of the Fire Spirit Bead, he would definitely know the consequences. Could it be that he wanted to make the townspeople of Tearless Town suffer from a hundred years of fire? His family must have died unexpectedly, and he must have hated that place, and it was not surprising that with his temper, the whole town was washed in blood. Maybe it was because of his hometown that he didn't do such a thing that lost his conscience. Nearly a hundred years of volcanic eruptions, poor residents of Tearless Town, poor white-haired old man!"
After telling his past, seeing that Zhao Yu had completely recovered from his original grief, the old man of the fire smiled faintly: "I'll start explaining this double cultivation method to you now, you listen carefully!"
The past is like a sharp knife engraved in Zhao Yu's heart, lingering, and for the fire monster, a smile is clear, and the spring breeze is blowing.
Zhao Yu nodded heavily.
The old fire monster said with satisfaction: "The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are mutually reinforcing and mutually reinforcing. The five elements are born together, gold gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, and earth gives birth to gold. According to common sense, cultivating the Fire Spirit Bead first is of great benefit to the cultivation of the Earth Spirit Bead. However, the Earth Spirit Bead is the strongest spiritual power among the five Spirit Beads, which is mainly due to gluttony, plus your current cultivation is too low, and it is more dangerous to major in Fire and Earth Spirit Beads at the same time. My advice to you is: Take the earth spirit bead as the main thing, supplemented by the fire spirit bead, and the same is true when you are facing the enemy, and when you are high, you don't need to divide the main and secondary divisions, do you understand this?
Zhao Yu said: "Understood." ”
The old man of fire said: "It's good to understand, as for the five elements, Jin Ke Mu, Mu Ke Earth, Earth Ke Water, Water Ke Fire, Fire Ke Jin, this is just the Shun Ke of the five elements." Under the same conditions, wood overcomes earth, and water overcomes fire. If your Dao is high, and your attainments in the Earth Spirit Bead are relatively deep, the holder of the Wood Spirit Bead will not be able to help you. When the time comes, the wood will not only not be able to overcome the soil, but will also be reversed. You have refined the Earth Spirit Bead to the peak level, and the owners of the other three Spirit Beads are not your opponents, even if it is me, I will be defeated by you!"
Zhao Yu said: "I understand, keep it in mind." ”
The old fire monster said: "Just write it down, cough cough, in addition to cultivating the Thick Earth Decision and the Flame Technique, you can't be slack off in the cultivation of the Ruijin Decision." ”
Zhao Yu said: "Ah, why?"
The old fire monster said with a calm face: "You just listen to me, it can save your life in the future, as for why, you will naturally understand it in the future!"
Seeing that the old monster said so cautiously, Zhao Yu didn't dare to take it lightly and kept it in mind.
The old fire monster said: "You now do what I said, try it, you first summon the earth spirit beads, and then summon the fire spirit beads, let the two spirit beads stop in front of you, you try to do it." ”
Zhao Yu sighed, and the earth spirit bead roared out, and the yellow light kept rotating around him like an elf.
The old fire monster nodded with satisfaction, and thought to himself: "The experience of going out for half a year is very beneficial to this kid, his attainments have improved a lot in the control of the earth spirit bead, according to the plan, within three or four years, I will be able to break through this ice prison." As soon as the competition between the four factions is over, Lao Tzu and I will take this kid out of this dangerous place. He said to Zhao Yu, "You can summon the Fire Spirit Bead now!"
