As a sixteen-year-old boy, when he shows his sharp edge and has a strong head, he has a sense of arrogance in his heart that refuses to admit defeat.
Even though I said I didn't complain or hate them, and I felt relieved in my heart, when I learned that they were living a good life and seemed to have forgotten their existence at all, I still felt uncontrollably sad.
Young people are proud and want to achieve something to prove that they can live a wonderful life without them.
How could Zhang Xiaopou have thought that his pride would lead him to fall into the trap of Taoist Tianwu? But even though it was a trap, it was a well-intentioned trap.
A young man has just begun to grow up, and still needs some years of tempering before he can withstand the invasion of stormy waves.
"Go on," Tianwu Taoist said.
"With the blessing of the old willow tree and the care of the elders of Liujia Village, the disciple grew up happily without any illness or disaster. He had an adult ceremony on the spring equinox this year. The old village chief gave the disciple a great use and allowed the disciple to settle down in the Liu family. The village, entering the village tree of Liujia Village, forms its own lineage and branches out."
Tianwu Taoist smiled and nodded. It can be seen that Zhang Xiaopou must have a good character, otherwise how could the people of Liujia Village allow him to enter the village as an outsider.
"There has been a severe drought for many years, and every household is about to run out of food. In order to find a way to survive, we have to break the ancestral motto of 'no hunting in spring' and go hunting in the mountains, hoping to find a bite to eat. But the mountains have long been desolate, and we have been searching for several days. Not finding anything to eat, we were forced to venture into the Black Forest."
"At the entrance of the canyon entering the Black Forest, we encountered people from several big families in the county blocking the road and forcibly collecting tolls. They thought the rations we handed in were of poor quality, and eventually a fierce conflict broke out. It was this conflict that opened the disciples' eyes and knowledge. To the strength of cultivators and martial arts."
Recalling the scene that day, Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help but feel a little dazed in his heart. It was only more than a month ago, but it felt like several years or more had passed. Mainly because with his current strength, if he meets people from several big families again, he may be able to beat them to pieces with just one hand. The huge gap between before and after made him feel a little unreal.
Tianwu Taoist couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "You mean you just started practicing cultivation a month ago?"
"Yes." Zhang Xiaozu nodded, "It's a pity that the disciple's war sect was congenitally closed and missed an opportunity."
Recalling the scene of being abandoned by Qin Xinru and others that day, Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Looking back now, although he missed Qin Xinru's opportunity, he got a greater opportunity.
I have to say that fate is unpredictable, and misfortune and fortune are unpredictable.
Taoist Tianwu looked at Zhang Xiaopou with a look of surprise on his face.
Seeing Taoist Tianwu's expression, Zhang Xiaozu thought he was dissing him because his Zhan Sect was congenitally closed, so he hurriedly said: "Although my Zhan Sect was congenitally closed, I have now opened up my strength gate and degree. I must work harder, practice hard, and strive for the best." Get through the last valve as soon as possible."
Taoist Tianwu waved his hand to signal Zhang Xiaopeng to stop talking, and then asked again: "Are you sure you have only been practicing cultivation for more than a month?"
"Yes." Zhang Xiaozu nodded with great certainty, but after thinking for a while, he added: "But the disciple is born with great strength, which is several times stronger than his peers."
Taoist Tianwu ignored his lack of strength and asked: "Then you realized the subtle state of mind in more than a month, and also raised the subtle state of mind to the realm of emptiness?!"
"Yes!" When he mentioned the subtle state of mind, Zhang Xiaozu couldn't help but straighten his back, with a look of pride on his face. Through this period of understanding and experience, he has learned how powerful it is to enter a subtle state of mind. As a young man from the mountains, he felt that he should be proud of having realized such a powerful skill based on his own abilities.
"Hahaha" Taoist Tianwu slapped the coffee table with his palm, almost breaking the bamboo coffee table. His cheeks were bloodshot, his eyebrows were flying, and he laughed happily: "I really found a treasure! Haha! "
After receiving such high praise from Taoist Tianwu, Zhang Xiaopeng immediately became elated.
Young man
, who doesn’t like others to praise a few more words.
"Of course" Taoist Tianwu calmed down and said in a serious tone: "You can't be too proud, and you can't be complacent because of a little achievement. You need to know that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the edge of the sword comes from sharpening. You should live up to your own talent. Be enlightened, work hard, and move forward.”
"Disciples will remember Master's teachings and must practice hard, move forward at all times, and dare not stop." Zhang Xiaozu promised.
"Okay!" Taoist Tianwu nodded with satisfaction, but still warned uneasily: "You are from a poor family. I believe that you have the determination to endure hardships. I am just afraid that you will not be able to stick to your true heart and be tempted by a life of indulgence and extravagance. Momentary success blinds you, and you get lost and degraded in the sound of praise and admiration. You must always remember that money, power, beauty, etc. are all fleeting, and only the path to immortality is what we as cultivators seek."
"Yes, disciple, please remember this," Zhang Xiaopou said.
"Go on." Taoist Tianwu calmed down his agitated mood and motioned for Zhang Xiaopou to continue.
"The disciple entered the black forest and killed an extremely majestic black wild boar. Strangely enough, the disciple actually dreamed about the life experience of this black wild boar when he was unconscious. In its dream, the disciple saw it for the first time The female ghost turned into a mortal fairy and danced on the cold pool in a valley, luring various beasts in the black forest to watch them every full moon night. However, for some reason, she did not suck these beasts. of blood and soul.”
"That's because the essence and blood soul of the beast will be contaminated with its soul power." Taoist Tianwu explained.
"Oh, that's it." Zhang Xiaozhu nodded and said, "The dance of the female ghost is very wonderful. After watching the black wild boar for a long time, not only did it grow in size, it became several times stronger than its kind. It also developed some intelligence and knew how to think. What's even more amazing is that the dance of the female ghost is like a strange martial arts. The black boar only learns one or two postures, and can explode with several times the strength and speed."
"The black boar has been watching the dance for a long time, and it has opened up its spiritual wisdom. It has touched the door of demon cultivation, and it has transformed from a beast into a demon beast. It is normal for its body size to increase dramatically and its spiritual intelligence to increase. And the dance that can guide the beast to cultivate, although not It’s common, but it’s not unusual.” Tianwu Taoist said.
Zhang Xiaopou nodded and continued: "That night, people from nearby villages captured the cubs of the Three-Eyed Sirius King and attracted the wolves. The disciple relied on his speed to lure away the Three-Eyed Sirius King and the wolves alone. The wolves finally went through a bloody battle and luckily killed the Three-Eyed Sirius King. Fortunately, the wolves dispersed as soon as the Three-Eyed Sirius King died, otherwise the disciples would not be able to escape from the wolf's mouth. The strange thing is that I dreamed about it again while I was in a coma. I learned part of the memory of the Three-Eyed Sirius King during his lifetime, and once again saw the female ghost dancing in the cold pool in his dream. The disciples knew that the female ghost's dancing was powerful, so they all learned it."
"Dream of the past life?" Taoist Tianwu frowned slightly, looked surprised, and muttered suspiciously. Seeing Zhang Xiaozu's questioning look, he waved his hand to signal Zhang Xiaozu to continue.
"The black forest is really dangerous. My disciples have little skills and don't dare to stay in the depths for a long time. So they want to leave first and wait until they meet up with the hunting team in the village before making any plans. I never thought that I would encounter a big-toothed dog on the way to kill the daughter of the lord of Baiyun City. , so he came to help. But the leader of the big-toothed dog was very powerful, and his disciple was far from his opponent. He was cruel and wanted to cut the disciple alive with one knife after another. The disciple was stabbed more than a hundred times by him, and he was about to die. Fortunately, God was merciful and allowed the disciple to understand the subtle state of mind in a desperate situation, and then killed him by surprise, punching through his chest, and he was lucky enough to win and survive."
"Not bad. Not bad. Not bad." Taoist Tianwu nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but praise: "It's really rare that you can still keep a calm mind in such a desperate situation of life and death and be able to understand the subtle state of mind."
"My grandpa, the village chief, always teaches me that the more a mountain collapses in front of me, the more calm I have to be. But recently, I have been attacked by ghosts one after another, and my disciple has gradually lost his mentality. I am really ashamed." Zhang Xiaozhu said with shame.
Tianwu Taoist waved his hand and said: "This is normal, because the existence of ghosts is beyond your cognitive scope and has a great impact on your thoughts.
It is normal to have an unstable mentality. Once you accept their existence, you will no longer be afraid. "
"After that, the disciples were ambushed by the big-toothed dog again on their way out of the black forest. Fortunately, a black giant ape fell from the sky at the critical moment. This giant ape was huge, standing over five feet tall. If he stood straight, he would be at least seven feet tall. High." Zhang Xiaozu skipped the conflicts with Su Mou and Qin Xinru, feeling that there was no need to talk about these trivial matters.
"Such a huge ape demon should be at the Great Demon Perfection Realm, which is extremely rare." Taoist Tianwu said.
"The giant black ape kidnapped the disciple and took him to the depths of the black forest. The disciple thought he was going to be its food. Who knew that instead of harming the disciple, it helped him to cultivate and even found many treasures from heaven and earth? Give it to the disciples to eat.”
Zhang Xiaozu described the scene of his getting along with the black giant ape in a particularly warm and harmonious way, not because he was afraid that Taoist Tianwu would hate the black giant ape, but because he was really tortured by the black giant ape, so it would be better to make the scene more beautiful, even though I was deceiving myself, but I felt a little better.
When Zhang Xiaozu talked about eating fish beads from the big white fish, the Tianwu Taoist blew his beard and glared, scolding him and the black giant ape for wasting natural resources. It is said that the big white fish is called Snow Scale Fish. It is a low-level monster that is very rare and precious. It is a treasure from head to toe, and any part of it can be used as medicine, especially its demon elixir, which is the fish beads that Zhang Xiaopou has eaten for more than thirty times. It is the medicine guide for refining a precious elixir. One of the elixirs on the market is It sells for hundreds of thousands taels.
Zhang Xiaozhu felt regretful after hearing this. If he could keep one or two, he wouldn't have to go to the boxing ring to make money.
However, when he talked about the five-leaf red fruit and said that he had eaten the fruit, the black giant ape ate the root and was so angry that Taoist Tianwu slapped him away.
The five-leaf flame fruit is called the Fierce Flame Fruit. It only grows in underground magma. It is a spiritual fruit that has been bred over many years by the most powerful spiritual power contained in the underground magma. It is a legendary level recorded in the "Book of Spiritual Medicine". of elixir.
The Fiery Flame Fruit is born as one leaf, and it takes three hundred years for the flowers to bloom and the fruit to mature. Then all the stems, leaves and fruits above the rhizome wither, and all the nutrients and spiritual energy are gathered into the rhizome rooted in the magma. Then the buds sprout and grow into two leaves. It will take another three hundred years for the flowers to bloom and the fruits to mature
Repeat this process until six leaves are produced.
Eating the mature rhizome of the six-leaf flaming fruit can increase your yang life by fifty years.
Even if you eat the mature rhizome of Wuyeyanguo, you can increase your yang life for ten years.
In addition to increasing Yang longevity, it can also improve physical fitness and enable people to obtain a pure Yang body. If you are lucky enough to obtain a pure Yang body, you will have a great chance of realizing the most primitive pure Yang power in the world.
The power of light in Buddhism, the fire of Samadhi in Taoism, as well as thunder from heaven, fire from earth, etc., are all a kind of pure Yang power. However, if you master the most primitive pure Yang power in heaven and earth, you can It is easy to comprehend these magical powers.
If he could take another pure Yin spirit treasure of the same level and make the Yin and Yang blend together, he would definitely have a place among the saints.
Therefore, Tianwu Dao is so popular that Zhang Xiaopeng is angry that he missed a huge opportunity.
Although the flame fruit that Zhang Xiaopou ate was also a first-class natural and earthly treasure, it not only helped him penetrate the force gate with one final kick, but also helped him cleanse his body and obtain pure Yang blood. But compared to the heaven-defying effects of the rhizome of Fiery Flame Fruit, there is really a huge difference.
"All good things have been ruined by pigs!" Taoist Tianwu said through gritted teeth.
"" Zhang Xiaozu cursed the black giant ape fiercely in his heart, blaming it for not taking a bite of the root from him.
If Taoist Tianwu knew what he was thinking, he would definitely scold him for being useless.
"The disciple was swept into the underground river by the turbulent current. I don't know how long he was carried by the current. After waking up, he walked out of the cave and arrived at Yancheng." Zhang Xiaozu briefly explained what happened next.
Master Tianwu asked: "You said you shot the Phoenix-tailed Firebird, but did you have any dreams about its memories during its lifetime?"
"Ah? Master, how did you know that this disciple had such a strange dream again?" Zhang Xiaozu asked in surprise.
