Chapter Ninety-Nine: Seeing the Artifact

Grand Elder Chixian showed a hint of a smile and looked at Lu Zhengdao: "Why, since you came up with the idea, of course it is up to you to do it." Why, don't you have the heart to come up with such an idea, but you don't have the ability to do such a thing?"

Lu Zheng waved his hand again and again: "Great Elder, even if you provoke me, I don't want to go." After all, it's still a matter of the Red Flame Leopard Clan, I'm an outsider, how can I meddle?"

The Great Elder Chixian said: "It is an outsider, so it is meddling." Besides, how can there be a fundamental reason for self-judgment, do you still have to work for me, an old leopard? You also have to be considerate and considerate of an elder like me, and work for my elders, which is what a young man should do. ”

Lu Zheng no longer shirked at this time, and responded neatly: "Okay, then the junior will agree to the Great Elder!"

Lu Zheng and Elder Chi Xian asked and answered, you came and went, and directly forgave Chi Ling aside. At the beginning, Chi Ling thought that they were fighting over who to cut down the tree, but he thought that if Brother Lu went to this matter, he was afraid that he would immediately offend all the clansmen and be hated by the Red Flame Leopard clan. How could the Great Elder make such a request to him, he should have let himself go. But when you listen closely, it seems that they don't feel like they're talking about cutting down trees. But later, I found that they still talked about cutting trees, and I couldn't help but be confused.

After listening to Lu Zhengying's acceptance, he said: "Great Elder, I agreed to cut down trees, but you see that I am empty-handed, how can I cut down trees." You've got to give me a tree cutter!"

Grand Elder Chixian smiled and said, "What other artifacts do you want to give you, isn't it in your hands?" He turned around and walked out on crutches.

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, raised his hands and saw what utensils he had in his hands, thinking of the bonfire, he shouted at the Great Elder: "Great Elder, can the junior go to your room to sense your bonfire while you are away?"

The voice of the Great Elder Chixian came, "You can take a stick of wood from the bonfire." ”

Lu Zheng was happy in his heart, the old leopard asked people to do things, and he was finally generous, and if he could take away a stick of firewood, then he would be able to appreciate the difference and magic of the bonfire. Although this is the time to make such a request. It seems to be a bit of an opportunity to coerce. But this is a trivial matter after all, and of course Chixian will not take it seriously.

Chi Ling also reacted at this time, the Great Elder had clearly thought of cutting down trees a long time ago, but he was the Great Elder of the Red Flame Leopard Clan. How could such an approach be proposed. Now from the mouth of Lu Zhiyi, an outsider. Naturally, it was the best, no wonder he rushed over immediately. It's just that why did the Great Elder also think of cutting down the Fire Spirit Divine Tree? Chi Ling hadn't figured it out in his heart.

However, Chi Ling was accustomed to obeying the Great Elder, although he had doubts. But he won't go against it, but he is worried that the people will be angry with Lu Zhiyi because of this matter. Thinking of this, he was ashamed and grateful to Lu Zhiyi: "Brother, you have remembered the kindness of the Red Flame Leopard Clan, Chi Ling!"

Lu Zheng naturally also knew that the matter of cutting down trees could not be told to other clansmen in advance, otherwise he was afraid that many Red Flame Leopard Demons would not be able to figure it out and resist. Only at the critical moment to make a quick decision and attack with one blow, then you have to quickly hide behind the Great Elder, otherwise you are afraid that you will be torn apart by a group of Red Flame Leopard Demons, which will not be so fun.

Next, Lu Zheng discussed the details of cutting down the tree with Chi Ling, the key is timing, because the purpose to be achieved is to let the old man know that the Fire Spirit Divine Tree has been destroyed, so it must be chosen when the old man uses a strange smile to harass the Red Flame Leopard clan, and at that time, all the Red Flame Leopard Demons must resist the strange laughter of the old man, and they have no time to take care of anything else, which also provides a convenience for Lu Zheng to cut down the tree. At that time, it is best to let the Great Elder Chixian secretly assist and reduce the strength of resisting the strange laughter, which will make it more convenient for Lu Zheng to act.

Then the biggest question now is, what should Lu Zheng use to cut down the tree? Great Elder Chi Xian seems to have a bamboo in his chest, saying that the artifact is already in Lu Zheng's hands, but Lu Zheng has nothing in his hands. Chi Ling couldn't think about it, but Lu Zheng told him not to worry. The Great Elder Chi Xian is wise and shrewd, he will not be untargeted, let alone make any jokes about such an important matter, he said that the artifact is already in his hands, so it must already be there. Maybe it will appear at the moment when the tree is cut down, and this point can be done as long as you trust the Great Elder, and you don't need to worry too much.

But Lu Zheng still had a problem in his heart, in fact, this qiē was just his own speculation, what if that selfless old man didn't come for the Fire Spirit Divine Tree? Wouldn't it be stupid to do so? But since the Great Elder Chixian also had this kind of thought, it showed that he also had such a judgment. In any case, this is the only way at present, and if you can't fight, let it go. The Red Flame Leopard Clan had to make this bet, but what made Lu Zheng strange was that the Great Elder of the Red Flame seemed to have a lot of confidence in himself, which made him feel inexplicable!

Lu Zheng didn't tell Chi Ling all these worries, with Chi Ling's temper and concern for the Red Flame Leopard Clan, saying these would only add to his unnecessary troubles. Now that you have decided to do something, there is no need to look ahead and look backwards, you just need to carefully plan how to do it. After discussing it for a while, Chi Ling left, he still had a lot to do. When Chi Ling walked, he seemed to be preoccupied, but after taking a few steps, his figure stood tall and cheered up.

Lu Zhengze unequivocally went to the house of the Great Elder Chixian first and took out a piece of firewood from the bonfire. When this charcoal-like firewood was taken out of the bonfire, the flame on it was immediately extinguished, Lu Zheng carefully observed the changes, and injected his mana into the firewood, and sure enough, the fire on the firewood immediately ignited again. Lu Zheng was like a torch, carrying firewood all the way back to his house.

After entering the house, Lu Zheng did not delay for a moment, inserted the firewood on the ground, and immediately sensed it with his divine sense. As soon as his divine consciousness touched the torch, it was immediately associated with the firewood, as if it had become one, and then he felt the physical properties of the firewood and all kinds of changes, and all of them slowly followed his divine sense into his heart, so that Lu Zheng had a clear understanding of this firewood.

This is the same firewood as it is refined from the branches of the Fire Spirit Divine Tree, and it can no longer be said to be simple firewood, in fact, it is closer to what cultivators call magic weapons. And Lu Zheng finally understood why this bonfire had the effect of refining the form and god. This firewood can be stimulated by mana and attract the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, triggering a spiritual aura. This spiritual breath is gentle and pure, as if it is the vitality and aura condensed between heaven and earth, but it seems to have some differences, and its function is to be able to calm the body and mind, and play a role in refining the form and spirit. Lu Zheng understood that the Great Elder's bonfire was not fire, nor was it the physical properties of the firewood stimulated by mana, but the use of mana to stimulate the firewood.

Why is it said that this firewood is no longer a thing, but a close vessel? What is the difference between heaven and earth? At this time, Lu Zheng also had a layer of enlightenment. The so-called thing, the use is the thing itself, but the tool is different, the use is not in the instrument, but in the use of the instrument. The reason is very simple, for example, if the firewood is just an ordinary firewood, once burned, the wood is turned to ashes by fire, and the ashes are no longer firewood, and they can no longer be used, and the firewood itself is used. But the vessel is different, the reason why this firewood can look burning but not bad is because it is not firewood, but firewood that operates under the stimulation of mana to refine the vitality and aura between heaven and earth.

The material is lost, and the instrument is inexhaustible.

Of course, the vessel is also formed from things, so the formation of the use of the vessel is based on the physical properties, and the loss of the use of the instrument also begins with the destruction of the physical properties. However, different objects can form a vessel, and their respective physical properties are unified in one use.

Even in the human world, a chair, a stool, can allow people to sit down and rest, not in wood, but in conjunction with chairs and stools. The wheels that allowed the carriage to travel far away were not made of wood, but wheels. And so on and so forth. Therefore, the utensils have their own names, for example, things made of wood will no longer be called wood. Rather, they are called chairs, stools, wheels.

The changes of all things in heaven and earth are so wonderful, Lu Zheng unconsciously entered into the concentration in this kind of induction, this time the concentration is not static, on the contrary, his divine consciousness is running violently, and everything that has been in the past is manifested in his heart one by one. The bits and pieces of the past world have different meanings in his heart, and the City God Temple where he once lived is so familiar, but at this time, he thought in his heart that there was no house between heaven and earth, and it was built by people to hide from the wind and rain. The house is to let one's body have a peaceful dwelling, but the City God Temple is different in that people want to let their hearts have a peaceful dwelling.

All things in heaven and earth have changed differently in the world. After Lu Zheng entered the cultivation world, especially during this period of time, he continued to shuttle through the vast wilderness, with no traces of people, and at the beginning, he could still see some families located on various mountains. But the deeper you go into the cultivation world, the less you can see the traces of people. I can't see the scattered houses, and what I see in front of me is not without changes, but there will be no changes that no one is involved in.

In nature, stones do not actively become houses, trees do not become chairs and stools, stones will weathered and disappear into soil, and trees will grow, wither and decay, and everything is evolving. In the human world, because of people, stones are stacked on top of each other and become houses, and trees are made into various utensils by craftsmen, and all of them are also evolving...... But the difference between these two evolutions is that in the wilderness, everything goes from thing to thing, and the world is a qiē, but from things can become tools.

At this time, Lu Zheng realized that his physical body was originally a thing, but his cultivation made himself a tool from things. The great use of this qiē is also rooted in itself, but it is more clearly understood and used more skillfully in the practice.

In this way, the Great Elder Chixian said that the utensils used to cut down the trees were already in his hands, is that what he meant......?
