"Elder brother, what's wrong with you!"
Following Shuguan's cry of grief, which resounded throughout the entire Shanjiguan, the second senior brother Mu Yao, who was still in the temple today, and the third senior sister Rui Jianqiao, who was studying the sword under the waterfall, soon appeared. In the pavilion.
Then they saw torn and shredded newspapers all over the floor. A golden-haired ape squatted on the stone table, clumsily grabbing a banana and peeling it. In the end, he impatiently stuffed the meat into his mouth.
The younger brother stood beside him with a confused look on his face.
Mu Yao smiled bitterly. He had the same reaction when he encountered this matter for the first time.
"Don't worry, senior brother will be fine."
Then he said something comforting to Shu Guan.
"Every ten or several decades, Senior Brother will suddenly transform back into a monkey-like state. Apart from a significant regression in intelligence, there is nothing unusual about him."
Mu Yao explained again.
In fact, he had already told Shu Guan about this matter when he brought Shu Guan to meet his senior brother for the first time.
Shu Guan has not forgotten it, but this change came too suddenly. A second ago, the senior brother was talking to him like a normal person. In order to encourage him to work hard to master the technique of peeling bananas, he even drew a big picture for him. cake.
The next moment, it was as if he suddenly lost all his memory and turned into a real monkey.
This sudden change was somewhat unacceptable to Shu Guan.
"Has it always been so sudden before?"
Watching the third senior sister walk to the stone table, help the senior brother peel a banana, gently touch the senior brother's head, and hand the banana over.
The senior brother raised his head, glanced at the third senior sister, then quickly turned to the banana in the third senior sister's hand, stretched out his monkey paw and snatched it away.
Seeing that the senior brother who used to be always polite, spoke slowly and spoke with perfect accents, now looks like this, Shu Guan can't help but feel a little sad.
"Yes, Senior Brother's transformation back into a monkey is always so sudden, without any warning."
Mu Yao sighed and said:
"However, there is no sign that he will return to normal. Moreover, the senior brother was a little confused in the past few days and will regain a certain level of intelligence in a few days."
"Then how long will it take for Senior Brother to fully recover?"
"It's hard to say. After I entered the temple, I experienced two instances of dementia, one lasting ten years and one lasting six months."
"But I heard from Master that according to the records left in the temple, the longest time that Senior Brother suffered from dementia lasted for a full one hundred and forty-three years, while the shortest time was only three days."
"So no one can tell when Senior Brother will recover."
…
The senior brother became an ordinary monkey, at least intellectually speaking.
So I can’t practice new fighting tactics for the time being.
However, Shuguan still insisted on punching thousands of times every day, and then used his peach wood sword to peel fifty bananas.
At the beginning, he basically cut off the banana in a few strokes. It was not until a month later that he slowly made some progress. Although he still couldn't keep the banana flesh intact, he could at least peel out a banana completely. .
Then Shu Guan would go to the senior brother with the peeled banana.
In the past, when the senior brother was sane, it was easy to find him because he spent most of his time lying on the grass by the lake and basking in the sun.
It's just that it's more troublesome to find the senior brother now. Sometimes he will hide and sleep deep in the leaves of a big tree, sometimes he will hide in a remote grass to catch ants and play, and sometimes he will crawl into a certain senior brother's house. He tore the bedding inside his residence to pieces. Once, Shu Guan even found his senior brother on the roof of the thatched house behind the cliff.
At that time, the senior brother was pulling out the thatch on the roof of Shanjiguan Patriarch's Pavilion one by one. When he saw Shuguan approaching, he grinned proudly and ran away.
Of course, if Shuguan had brought bananas, the senior brother would still come over obediently.
As for how long the well-behaved time lasts, it is determined by the number of bananas Shuguan brings.
At this time, Shu Guan would sit quietly with his senior brother for a while, and help him clean up the grass and leaves on his body.
My former senior brother was very tidy.
And the second senior brother was right. After spending the first few days of ignorance, the senior brother seemed to have regained some intelligence and was at least able to speak.
But he was always talking to himself.
At this time, the senior brother looked confused and painful, like a child with autism. He didn't pay attention to others, but just held his head with empty eyes and muttered to himself.
"……who I am?……"
"...Why am I here?..."
"……where are they?……"
Weird things like that.
There should be many secrets hidden in the eldest brother, and perhaps only Patriarch Lu Duanyang, who kept him in the temple, knew the secrets of the eldest brother.
However, Shu Guan had no intention of exploring these secrets of his senior brother.
As for the fact that he often comes to sit with his senior brother, it is purely out of gratitude for his senior brother teaching him fighting tactics.
In addition to still insisting on practicing the methods taught to him by his senior brother every day, Shu Guan did not stop practicing other methods.
In the past three months since the human trafficking incident at Fuhua Warehouse, Shuguan's Zhoutian moving skills have been able to complete thirty-six small Zhoutians in one go.
And now one year has passed since he successfully channeled Qi and became a true practitioner. He completed thirty-six small circles in one year. This speed of practice is quite good.
However, compared with his incredible talent of being able to learn any Taoist skill as soon as he can perform it, and always have the legendary power of several Yuanhui pre-Yuanhui times, the speed at which he has grown in cultivation is even more impressive. Not so extraordinary anymore.
It seems that apart from his inexplicable talent for enlightenment, his other talents for cultivation are not considered true geniuses.
Because Li Zhixia told him that in general, the first thirty-six small Zhoutians will be easier during the general Qi-entraining period, while the subsequent eighteen major Zhoutians will take more time to complete the thirty-sixth Zhoutian with Shu Guan. Calculating the time of six small Zhoutians, it will take at least two to three years for him to completely complete the Zhoutian transportation skills.
As for the growth of cultivation between realms, this era is not much different from a few Yuanhui ago.
After Li Zhixia succeeded in channeling qi, it took him three years to complete the Zhoutian Transportation Skill. This speed ranked among the top 50 in the history of Shan Si Guan Four Thousand Thousand Years.
Among the disciples of Shu Guan's generation, the person who completed the Zhoutian Transportation Skill the fastest was Sang Li. It took a total of two years, one year faster than Li Zhixia. In the history of Shan Ji Guan, he can be ranked first. The top ten are on par with the Qixia master from five hundred years ago who later became possessed.
Therefore, before Shu Guan entered the world, Sang Li was regarded as a spiritual genius who was rarely seen in a thousand years. Even Guiyuan Temple and Yuelan Academy had heard of his name for a long time, and he was regarded as the strongest person in the Seven Immortals Alliance in the next hundred years. One of the disciples.
As for Shu Guan, it currently seems that the time it takes to complete the Zhoutian Transportation Technique should be between three and a half to four years. This speed is certainly not bad. Being able to squeeze into the top 100 in the history of Shan Si Guan can barely be called a genius.
But if you take into account that Shu Guan practices the Nine Turns of Pure Yang Kung, then this ranking will change.
Because the Nine Turns of Pure Yang Kung Fu is an immortal-level technique, in the four thousand years of Shanjiguan's history, apart from Lu Zu, the only one who can directly build a foundation with the immortal-level technique is Shu Guan.
The higher the level of the skill, the faster the accumulation of spiritual power will naturally be.
Calculated in this way, Shu Guan's talent in cultivation is only average.
However, after Shu Guan completed the thirty-six small Zhoutian Transportation, the Taoist techniques in the Daozang Pavilion, except for the five Earth Immortal Techniques, must be completely completed and can only be practiced after entering the First Consciousness Realm. All other Taoist techniques can be practiced.
Especially since he has no obstacles in his way.
So on this day, Shu Guan came to Daozang Pavilion.
Master Qi was still sitting on the lounge chair outside Daozang Pavilion, basking in the sun, and Shu Guan walked towards him.
…
"Hello, Uncle Qi."
"It's Lao Qi. Are you here today to read the secret books or choose a new Taoist technique?"
"Uncle Qi, I have completed the thirty-six Little Zhou Tians, and I would like to choose some Taoist techniques."
"Well, in addition to the five earthly immortal arts, you can practice the other twenty-seven Taoist arts, but you seem to have practiced about ten of them. This time I want to find something like that. Taoism?"
"I want to learn the divination technique like Fifth Senior Brother."
Shu Guan followed Master Qi into the Daozang Pavilion.
"The art of divination... Although Lao Qi, you are on the Yin-Yang Avenue and you can practice other Taoist arts, but this divination art is still somewhat special. Without special talent, it is difficult to truly Getting started...but you can try it out."
The two of them walked up to the second floor of Daozang Pavilion. Master Qi opened a wooden box with familiarity and took out a silk book from it and handed it to Shu Guan.
"This is the Turtle Money Divination Technique that your Fifth Senior Brother learned when he first started. You can't practice the Earth Immortal Method of Asking Rice yet, so just take this Turtle Money Divination Technique first, but you will need it later. Go to the Treasure Pavilion and pick out a turtle shell specially used for divination and a few ancient coins."
Change the source app and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time. 】
When Shu Guan took the silk book and was about to leave, Master Qi suddenly slapped his forehead and called out:
"etc!"
"By the way, there is another Taoist art that is also a hexagram, but I almost forgot about it, old man."
Then Master Qi walked to another wooden shelf and picked up a wooden box placed there alone.
"This Taoist technique was brought back from outside by a senior in the temple two thousand years ago. There is only half of it. It seems to be a kind of divination technique. However, in the past two thousand years, no one in the temple has mastered it. , your fifth senior brother’s talent for hexagrams is pretty good, but he tried it for practice back then, but he also failed to succeed.”
"This Taoist technique is quite strange. Because no one has mastered it, we still can't be sure whether it is a divination technique or not, and we don't know its grade. You should take it and have a look first."
Master Qi directly handed over the wooden box.
Shu Guan took the wooden box from Uncle Qi and opened it. There was a roll of leather that looked like sheepskin in the wooden box. There were only a few thin sheets at the bottom. The top one had an old and yellowed cover. , with three words written on it:
One palm sutra.
