Chapter Thirty-Seven: Nine Deaths and One Life
Lu Zheng tried a few times, but his fingers still passed through the chopsticks every time, and he couldn't catch them. Lu Zheng gave up his efforts and said a little angrily: "Master, since you gave me half of the rice, you deliberately let me not get the chopsticks, what is the reason?" You're not hospitality!"
"Oh, little benefactor, this is the old monk's fault. Where did the old monk deliberately make you unable to reach the chopsticks?" As he spoke, Epiphany put down the chopsticks in his hand, stretched out his hand to grab them, and picked up the chopsticks suspended in front of Lu Zheng's eyes, moved them in his hand a few times, and said, "Little donor, look, didn't the old monk get it?"
Lu Zheng just took it from his hand, but the epiphany still put the chopsticks back in place, or let them levitate in the air, and said: "The old monk has already demonstrated it once for the little donor, if the little donor wants to use this pair of chopsticks, he still has to take it down himself." After saying that, he took care of himself and began to eat.
Lu Zheng frowned, it seems that the old monk is not just simply embarrassing himself, as if he is igniting something for himself, his mind is gradually calming down, recalling the way the old monk picked up the chopsticks at will just now, Lu Zheng stretched out his hand to take it, but this time he took it all at once, and held the chopsticks in his hand. It turned out that if you had the heart to ask for it, you couldn't get it if you didn't ask for it in your heart, and suddenly half of the rice in your hand suddenly fell out of the bowl, and all the food was spilled on the ground, and there was not a single grain of rice left in the bowl, Lu Zheng was dumbfounded.
Epiphany had already finished eating half of the food in the bowl at this time, and when he saw this, he took the bowl back from Lu Zheng's hand, resynthesized it into a bowl, and then shook it slightly. There was a sound of water in the bowl, and he shook his wrist and shook the bowl for a while, but he still drank the water in the bowl and put the bowl and chopsticks back to the wall. Then he smiled at Lu Zheng and said: "Don't ask for something, don't ask for anything to lose, little donor, what should you do?"
Before Lu Zheng could answer, the chopsticks in his hand disappeared without a trace, and he thought about it. Sit up straight. He bowed down to the epiphany and said, "Please teach me, master!"
Epiphany said: "The old monk is just a useless old monk, he has lived a lot of years, in fact, he may just waste his years, what can he teach you? The old monk had something to say to you before. At this point, it has also been said. I see you're having a stomach full of doubts right now. Speak up. The old monk will answer one or two for you. It's just that let's talk about it in front, the old monk is old and lacks energy. There are very few people who know the Tao, so you can only ask three questions, and the old monk will only answer you three questions. Well, if you have anything to ask, just ask!"
The old monk said that he had finished what he was going to say, and he clearly just had a meal and slept in front of him, and he just said a word, and he didn't understand it, so he was done?
Lu Zheng thought about it, asked the first question, and said, "Juniors want to know Lu Dao, where did the black armor go?" This monster is Lu Zheng's biggest hidden danger, and now he is missing, of course, he must ask first.
A smile appeared in the eyes of the Epiphany Ethereal Spirit, as if he had long known that Lu Zheng would be the first to ask this question, and said, "Where did you go just now, he naturally went now!"
The old monk's answer was simple and clear, Lu Zheng was stunned when he heard it, he had just gone to the Phantom Heart Array, and this black armor was actually sent in by the Epiphany Ethereal, is this the old monk's personal hobby, he likes to send everyone into the Phantom Heart Array, or does this big thunder sound mountain have this rule, and anyone who goes up the mountain must be thrown into it once. Doesn't this old monk seem to be in the same group as that monster, how could he do such a thing? Lu Zheng couldn't help but blurt out: "Master, why did you also bring him into the Illusion Heart Array?"
"Is this your second question?" Epiphany smiled and said, "Since you can go in, why can't he go in?"
Lu Zheng choked, this old monk is cunning enough, and what he wants to ask is, of course, not whether Hei Jia can enter the Illusion Heart Array, but what is the purpose of the old monk doing this. But the old monk overshadowed it with a vague remark, and it seemed that he did not want to answer the question. So Lu Zheng said: "The sentence just now is just a doubt in the hearts of the juniors, and I can't help but blurt it out, but I don't want to ask the master, the second question of the juniors is, what is the origin of the master, and how can he be very familiar with a monster like Heijia?"
He asked this question very directly, and he also took a faint risk, so if he asked directly about the relationship between them, the better result would be that the epiphany would avoid answering, and the worse would be to provoke the other party and be killed by the other party. Although the other party didn't do anything to him these days, it was because the other party's cultivation was so high, and it was effortless to kill him, and it was in their own place, so they didn't have to worry about any problems, so they didn't do it.
But on the one hand, although the master in white didn't reveal too much about the epiphany, he didn't remind Lu Zheng how to beware of him, and he didn't seem to be worried about what the old monk would do to Lu Zheng. On the other hand, as far as the feeling of epiphany and the old monk's actions are concerned, Lu Zheng did not feel a trace of murderous aura in him at all, on the contrary, he seemed very mellow and soft, and there was a kind of naivety that made him believe that the old monk would not do anything to him. But he was not sure whether the old monk would tell him about the relationship between him and Heijia.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the epiphany did not mean to hide it at all, and just after Lu Zheng asked this question, the old monk let out a long 'oh' and said, "You ask this question, it seems that the old monk is very curious." Hehe, this is not a big deal, the old monk and the master of the black-armored monster are brothers, and they are both monsters who were born from the chaotic ancestral qi that preceded heaven and earth!"
The old monk in front of him was actually a monster, and it was not an ordinary monster, it was a monster that was born from the chaotic ancestral qi like Ye Xiaoqiu! As soon as these words came out, Lu Zheng was so shocked that he almost jumped up directly from the ground, and finally his concentration was quite deep, and he still sat down steadily, but the expression on his face was shocked.
Epiphany, Ethereal Spirit told such a secret directly to himself so easily! Lu Zheng's mind was suddenly a little confused. Since this epiphany is a monster, how could he become a monk of Buddhism? Moreover, he is the resident mountain of this great thunder sound mountain? Do the people in the Buddhist sect know the origin of his identity and origin? Others don't say it, Lotus Venerable should always know the way of the dragon, but why would he allow a monster to be the resident mountain of this great thunder sound mountain?
No, he said that he was incarnated in the Chaos Ancestral Qi, which means that he has lived for many years, maybe he has been mixed into the Buddha Sect a long time ago, and he may have ulterior motives, such as using the Illusion Heart Array to do something harmful to the Buddha Sect and so on. Because he entered the Buddha Gate too early, perhaps Lotus Venerable did not know his true origin.
But it doesn't seem possible. There are so many masters in Buddhism throughout the ages. Lu Zheng couldn't help but look up and down at the epiphany, the old monk was dressed in bright yellow monk robes, wearing a yellow monk's hat on his head, and his short white hair was slightly exposed. His head was round. A pair of round eyes under long snow-white eyebrows. There is always a smile on his wrinkled face. Such a somewhat cute old monk. How could it be a monster?
Seeing that Lu Zheng stayed for a long time, Epiphany didn't say a word, and said with a smile: "Little donor." What's wrong with you?"
Lu Zheng came back to his senses at this time, and saw that the old monk looked indifferent, as if what he just said was that Lu Zheng was a monster. Lu Zhengdao: "No, not much, I just felt a little surprised, but what do you say, master, it makes the juniors understand one thing." Just now, the junior was very surprised to see you come out of the stones. Now that I think about it, it should be the master's way of immortality in life and death!"
For the first time, a trace of surprise flowed out of Epiphany's eyes, and he said, "How did the little donor know that the old monk was turning into stones every once in a while, so he survived between heaven and earth. At first, it was once every few hundred years, then gradually it became once every few decades, then once a year, and now it is once a day, and the time of the attack is not fixed, and it is not certain how long it turns into stone. The little donor has he ever seen a monster that has been born from the Chaos Ancestral Qi before?"
Lu Zhengxin said, every time you turn into stone, it is equivalent to dying once, which is much better than Ye Xiaoqiu's cruel reincarnation. He nodded and said, "The junior also met a demon who was born from the chaos ancestral qi before, and she once told the junior about the encounter of a chaotic demon like the predecessor, which needs to be born and die with the changes of heaven and earth, and then it can survive forever." ”
When Epiphany heard this, he showed a sudden look and said, "No wonder the little donor knows these things." Little donor, can the old monk ask, I don't know who is the name of this chaotic demon you met, and where does he live now?"
Lu Zheng showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "This, without her permission, it is inconvenient for the juniors to reveal this, I don't know if the master wants to know what Lu Dao is doing, is it going to visit?"
Epiphany Ethereal Spirit was originally sighing, but when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Hehe, of course it doesn't count." The little donor didn't know that the old monk still had a big thing to do, which was related to a demon of chaos, and only by ending this matter could the old monk really die. Therefore, the old monk wants to ask clearly, it is possible that what the little donor encountered is the demon of chaos that the old monk wants to seek. ”
It turned out that the old monk was begging for death like Ye Xiaoqiu, but with what he said, it seemed that he could die, Lu Zheng heard this, but he felt strange, so he said: "The master said this, the younger generation doesn't understand it. Doesn't it mean that the demon of chaos can't die because of the chaos ancestral qi in his body?The chaos demon that the younger generation encountered, so he has a knot all the year round, just because he can't die, but listening to what the master said, it seems that he can die again, what is going on?" Although Huang Weiyang mentioned that as long as he borrowed the Heavenly Mirror, he could extract the Chaos Ancestral Qi on Ye Xiaoqiu's body, refine it, and erase his divine sense, and he could kill Ye Xiaoqiu, but this was still passive, and it seemed to be different from what Epiphany Ethereal Spirit said.
Epiphany smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the bamboo wall in the room, and said, "Between heaven and earth, how can there be real immortality." The Chaos Demon you met is also begging for death, so the old monk naturally doesn't have to tell you more about asking for death. The reason why the old monk entered the Buddha Gate and lived in this big Leiyin Mountain for thousands of years, carved nine dead characters on these bamboos every day, and what he asked for was nothing more than death!"
