Tian Xiaoding and Tang Yunzhi passed by a market town called Zhujiaji. The two of them heard that there was an old Zhu Immortal in the town. On the first and fifteenth days of every month, he would open his door to see guests and answer everyone's questions.
It is said that this Zhu Lao Shenxian has vast supernatural powers, knows everything, answers all questions and responds to all requests. Even if he cannot help with something, he will tell you how to do it.
After listening to the introduction about Zhu Lao Shenxian, Xiao Ding always felt that this guy was a bit like the kind of charlatan who goes around defrauding people of their money.
So, he and Tang Yunzhi also came to Zhu Lao Shenxian's house in the west of the town and lined up outside the yard.
At the same time, Xiao Ding also turned on Tiankai Ear and eavesdropped on the conversation in Zhu Lao Shenxian's thatched cottage.
I only heard someone ask: "Old God, I would like to ask, how can a person live forever?"
An old voice replied: "Human beings are the root of the Tao and the growth of the gods. You should know its meaning and take good care of yourself, and you can live a long life. If you don't take good care of your body, you will be blamed by the gods. If the gods betray you, your body will be gone. Is An De kind?"
"Old God Zhu, I haven't read a book, so I don't understand what you are saying!" The man said helplessly.
At this time, another voice said: "How can you understand my father's words casually? Remember what my father just said, go back and slowly understand it. Okay, keep your spirit stone, you You can go." After saying that, the voice shouted loudly to the door, "Next one!"
Xiao Ding, who was standing in line outside, couldn't help but smile when he heard the conversation inside. At this time, there were only five or six people left in front of him.
As soon as the door of the thatched cottage opened, a middle-aged man walked out, and then a fat aunt in her fifties or sixties walked into the house.
Then, Xiao Ding heard the fat aunt ask: "Old God Zhu, I want to ask you, how can I get more money?"
The old voice replied: "A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way! There is no way to sow in the spring and no harvest in the autumn. Don't steal people, don't take people's money indiscriminately, don't be greedy. A saint has no accumulation, and since he thinks of people The more you have, the more you can share with others."
The fat aunt also said in a similar way: "Old God Zhu, what you said is too profound, I can't quite understand it!"
Then, the other voice said what he said before again: "How can you ordinary people like my father easily understand what my father said? Remember what my father just said, go back and understand it slowly. Okay. , leave your spirit stone, you can go." After that, he called the next person into the room to ask questions.
Xiao Ding listened to several questions answered by the old Immortal Zhu, and most of them were answered with some random words. The person who asked the question made Monk Zhanger confused and could not understand the specific meaning of what he said. However, how can it be wrong if the gods teach? The questioner did not dare to question, and could only go back and slowly study those nonsense.
Of course, not all of Zhu Lao Shenxian's answers were in ordinary language. There were also a few who answered in ordinary language. For example, a person asked that his donkey was missing and asked the old immortal where he should go to find his donkey.
Then the old immortal Zhu replied: "In the due north, if you don't see it, you will be eaten by wild beasts."
Directly north of Zhujiaji is the mountain behind the town. Old Immortal Zhu said that the donkey went to the north, which meant it entered the mountains. He also said that if it was not found, it must have been eaten by wild animals.
After hearing this answer, Xiao Ding
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He was also snickering. If someone's donkey in this town gets lost, it will most likely go to the back mountain. After all, the vegetation there is more lush, and it will be more attractive to the donkey. Of course, this is not certain, the donkey must have entered the back mountain. If the donkey owner went to the back mountain and couldn't find it, the old god added, if he couldn't find it, it would have been eaten by a wild beast.
Therefore, the old fairy's answer is true no matter whether the donkey owner goes to the back mountain and finds the donkey or not, his answer is correct. And when ordinary people think about it, they will find it reasonable and reasonable.
From this, Xiao Ding felt that the old man in the thatched house who answered everyone's questions must be a charlatan.
Just when Xiao Ding felt that there was no need to go to an old magician to ask questions, the team had already reached his position.
Therefore, Xiao Ding decided not to leave for the time being. He went in and asked the old magic stick first to see how he would answer. Anyway, he was not short of the twenty low-grade spiritual stones.
When he heard shouting from inside the house: "Next one." Xiao Ding stepped into the thatched house.
Before, he secretly used his spiritual consciousness to explore the house, but was blocked by a powerful force.
Therefore, he only heard the conversation inside the house, but did not know what was going on inside the house.
Walking into the thatched house at this time, Xiao Ding saw that the furnishings in the thatched house were very simple.
Inside the room, there is a wooden sitting table against the inner wall. An old man with white hair and beard sits on the sitting table. In front of him is a long wooden coffee table, on which are placed rough wooden tea tables. There is a teapot and a teacup, and on the other side is a small pile of low-grade spiritual stones.
Next to the old man, stood a middle-aged man in his thirties. His appearance was somewhat similar to the old man. Xiao Ding guessed that this person should be one of the old man's three sons.
After Xiao Ding walked into the room, he immediately felt that something was not right. He seemed to feel a helpless pressure pressing on himself.
Coercion!
Xiao Ding had no choice but to use his skills to resist the pressure from the strong man. At the same time, he also used his Heavenly Eye Technique to check the cultivation levels of the two people in the room.
It turned out that the old man's cultivation had reached the stage of Foundation Establishment, and he was about to give birth to a Nascent Soul. And that middle-aged man was also at the ninth level of Qi training, and was only one step away from reaching the Great Perfection of Qi training.
The pressure on him naturally comes from the old man who built the foundation of Dzogchen.
Before Xiao Ding could ask a question, the old man took the lead and said, "You used your spiritual consciousness to explore my room before, right? I thought some expert came here, but it turns out you are only at the fifth level of Qi training. You But you know, if you don't understand the rules, it would be easy for me to kill you."
Xiao Ding used his energy to resist the pressure and said calmly: "You won't do this."
The old man was stunned and asked: "Why?"
Xiao Ding explained: "You are the Zhu Lao Shenxian in our Zhujiaji area, and your reputation is well known. If word spreads that you killed people who came to ask questions at home, then you will suddenly become ruined, and no one will dare to come again. Support your business!”
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Yes, you are very smart. Then tell me your problem?"
When Xiao Ding heard this, he immediately felt that the pressure on him disappeared immediately. It seemed that the old man had withdrawn his pressure.
If this kind of coercive attack is somewhat related to the power of divine consciousness, it should be considered
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It is a type of mental attack. To put it simply, in fact, coercion is a person's aura. People with advanced skills can use this strong aura to intimidate people with low skills. However, this kind of shocking power is not emitted through the spiritual power in the body, but through the divine consciousness in the sea of consciousness, invading the opponent's sea of consciousness to achieve the effect of mental deterrence.
If the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, the pressure of the strong one can even kill people invisible. But more often than not, coercion is reflected in giving the other party a strong sense of oppression, making the other party frightened, uneasy, mentally tortured, and frightened. If you are timid, you may die of fear.
Xiao Ding is currently only at the fifth level of Qi training, and he has not mastered this kind of mental attack spell yet. What's more, with his cultivation at the fifth level of qi training, even if he can release coercion, who can he suppress?
Seeing that the old man withdrew his pressure and asked his own questions. Xiao Ding's inner resistance subsided a little.
He asked the question he had prepared in advance: "I want to know, how can Tiangen be reshaped?"
This question was finally chosen by Xiao Ding among the countless questions in his mind.
He felt that he had heard the old man answer several other people's questions beforehand, and most of the answers were specious. If I were to ask him questions such as "Where is my wife Ouyang Qing now?" or "Where are other friends and confidants now?", I guess the old man would definitely respond to me like he answered the man who lost his donkey.
As for the issue of reshaping Tiangen, Xiao Ding felt that since the old man had advanced cultivation, he might not really know this method. Moreover, if the old man really told me how to reshape Tiangen, and his cultivation level could be improved quickly, then other problems in his heart would not be a problem.
When the old man heard Xiao Ding's question, he pondered for a moment, looked at Xiao Ding and asked, "Don't you have Tiangen?"
Xiao Ding nodded without saying a word.
The old man stroked his beard and said quietly: "Go to Soul Burial Mountain and look for a cultivation sect called Immortal Medicine Sect. The leader of this Immortal Medicine Sect, Chang Ling Zhenren, will definitely know how to reshape Tiangen. . Let alone reshaping Tiangen, he can do it even if he resurrects the dead."
"Immortal Medicine Sect? Chang Ling Zhenren?" Xiao Ding was still surprised when he heard these two names mentioned again.
He remembered that once, the Bagua Artifact Spirit in the Qiankun Pot once mentioned to him the Immortal Medicine Sect and the Immortal Medicine Sect's Changling Real Person. At that time, Bagua Weapon Spirit said that Master Chang Ling must know how to reshape Tiangen.
"You said he can resurrect the dead?" Xiao Ding noticed the old man's words and suddenly thought of Erniu who was still lying in his jade pendant space. Could it be that there would be someone on Kunxing Continent today? Magic that can bring the dead back to life?
At this time, Xiao Ding was so excited that he even forgot about reshaping Tiangen.
But the old man smiled slightly and said, "This is your second question."
The middle-aged man standing next to the old man also said expressionlessly at this time: "How can you commoners like my father easily understand my father's words? Remember what my father just said, and go back slowly. Let's experience it. Okay, leave your spirit stone and you can go." After saying that, he turned to the door and shouted loudly: "Next!"
