The mountains and fields are already sparsely populated, and with the recent turmoil outside, the strange things here are fortunately not noticed by anyone.
After a long time, the scene here finally returned to its original state and became what it was before.
Zhang Chi stood up, patted the non-existent dust on his butt, looked at the mountain god who was already in trance, walked lightly to the door of the temple, found a relatively clean stone step and sat down.
Judging from the few words he talked with Shuo Yue, it seems that not only the people in the world, but also the mountain gods and the land are not having an easy time, but Zhang Chi always has an inexplicable feeling. If he can find the person Shuo Yue talks about, He Bo, I think I should be able to get some information on why the world has become like this.
Although Zhang Chi is not as full of twists and turns as Qi Zhen and Lin Biao, he is not stupid.
Whether it is treating people's illnesses or practicing medicine everywhere, it can only provide indicators but not cure the root causes. According to Mr. Lu Xun's words, it is difficult to save the country by studying medicine. In the end, these problems must be solved from the source.
Now it seems obvious that the question given to him by Guanyin Bodhisattva should be solved from here.
He thought about it and realized that this matter might be risky, but as long as he was careful, he would run back to Luojia Mountain as soon as possible if he really messed with someone he couldn't mess with. After all, no god would dare to go wild there.
"Thank you, God!"
Shuo Yue bowed deeply behind him, with indescribable excitement and gratitude in her tone.
"It's easy, no need to be so polite." Zhang Chi turned around and said with a smile, "Get up quickly."
"How sure are you of overcoming the tribulation now?" Zhang Chi asked curiously.
"Ten percent!" Shuo Yue made a sign of the cross in front of her chest with both hands.
Zhang Chi was a little surprised. He didn't expect this chakra to be so strong in this world?
This is actually Zhang Chi's misunderstanding. Originally, chakra is no different from other energies in this world, whether it is fairy power or demon power, but the most important thing is the source of this power.
The chakra refining method Zhang Chi obtained when he first came to this game world, the chakra power condensed is not even as good as an ordinary jounin.
But in the end, he is constantly growing. With the addition of professional attributes and the blessing of Buddhist teachings that he has been learning in this world, the chakra he has condensed is already completely different from the beginning. This kind of As a carrier, energy is not only extremely gentle, but also contains a large amount of righteous and peaceful power of Buddhism. It naturally has magical effects that are difficult for him to understand. It is not difficult to understand why it is of such great help to Shuo Yue.
"When will you overcome the tribulation?" Zhang Chi asked.
"Probably in the next two days." Shuo Yue said with a smile.
"What are your plans next?" Zhang Chi asked again.
"After overcoming this second disaster, I may go into the mountains to practice steadily. The immortal power you gave me is too abundant, and I still need to digest it." Shuo Yue pondered for a moment and said, "As for here... that's all. Think of it as a souvenir.”
She turned around and looked at the mess behind her, looking a little lonely.
"Are you willing to follow me?" Zhang Chi suddenly asked.
Shuo Yue was stunned for a moment, seemingly unaware of Zhang Chi's intention, and blinked.
Kinda cute.
"I said, would you like to come with me?"
Zhang Chi asked again, and then he felt a bit like a strange uncle who kidnapped an ignorant girl, and felt a little awkward.
"Where are you going?" Shuo Yue asked.
"Hmm... I don't know." Zhang Chi thought for a moment and shook his head in confusion, "I was wondering if there was a way to prevent this world from being so hard. Originally, I had been treating illnesses and saving people, but now I want to I want to figure out the reason behind this, and I want to see if I can help restore order to this mortal world."
"Shangxian has such an ambitious goal!" Shuo Yue praised.
Zhang Chi scratched his head and thought to himself, I can't just go back and pay homage to the Bodhisattva.
"But if I leave, this mountain... I will be considered AWOL, right?" Shuo Yue hesitated.
"But even if you are always here, what's the use?" Zhang Chi asked.
"...That's right." Shuo Yue thought for a while and said, "Okay, if you don't mind, I will follow you."
"Let's make an agreement first. From now on, you are not allowed to call me an immortal. Just call me Zhang Chi." Zhang Chi said. The other person's name always made him feel like he was an old fairy with white hair and beard.
"That's not okay. How can I call you by your first name?" Shuo Yue quit.
If when the two first met, Shuo Yue felt more in awe of Zhang Chi, now she has admired Zhang Chi.
A god with such a high realm actually keeps calling himself a mortal without any pretense at all. This is too pretentious... too low-key.
"Anyway, you are not allowed to call me Shangxian." Zhang Chi waved his hands repeatedly.
"Then where do you plan to go next?" Shuo Yue asked.
"After hearing what you just said, I think you know the land and the river uncle here?" Zhang Chi said, "Let's not talk about the land for now. Can you take me to meet the river uncle?"
"It's okay to take you there, but..." Shuo Yue hesitated, "That man is usually aloof and difficult to get along with. We, the land and mountain gods, have not been able to meet him in several years. I’m afraid you might be turned away if you go.”
"We'll see when the time comes. Anyway, just take me there first." Zhang Chi said.
"Okay." Shuo Yue nodded.
While the two were chatting, a fish-belly white color appeared in the east, and in the blink of an eye it was almost dawn.
Zhang Chi felt a little like he was in another world. After this night, he was accompanied by a mountain god. The world was really magical.
According to Shuo Yue, three hundred miles to the north is the place where He Bo lives. This river god temple was built along the water and has existed much longer than the temples in the land of mountain gods.
Zhang Chi can also understand. After all, for ordinary people, water veins are often the birthplace of civilization, and worshiping river gods must take much longer than worshiping mountain gods.
The two did not choose to fly in the clouds, but instead followed Zhang Chi's wishes and continued to practice medicine and save people along the way.
Zhang Chi was fine, but Shuo Yue's unworldly appearance caused some trouble for the two of them. Her white dress was spotless and her appearance was originally extremely beautiful. After being instilled with medical chakra by Zhang Chi that night, her whole body The people looked extremely holy. The villagers in the mountains had never seen such an outstanding fairy. They were filled with exclamations of admiration everywhere they went. If it weren't for the name of Zhang Chi, the medical fairy, those men with shining eyes would be afraid. He was about to pounce on Shuo Yue and eat up all the crumbs left.
Of course, if they do this, the final result will definitely be that Shuo Yue eats up all of them, but in any case, with the miraculous immortal Zhang Chi by his side, all problems that may arise between the two parties can be objectively avoided.
Zhang Chi also reminded Shuo Yue to pay attention to the influence. Since he is an earthly immortal, it should not be difficult to transform himself into an ordinary person's attire. However, I wonder if Shuo Yue is born with such a personality and is quite resistant to this matter. Zhang Chi couldn't say anything more.
It wasn't until the third village the two came to that Zhang Chi found out the reason. It turned out that Shuo Yue was a snow-white rabbit before he turned on his spiritual wisdom. After becoming an immortal, he had an extraordinary understanding of cleanliness. With an unusual persistence, she likes to be spotless, especially her clothes, which do not allow a trace of color.
This is similar to Zhang Chi's mysophobia. In the end, she can only let her go without saying anything.
From a relaxed perspective, Shuo Yue's attitude towards mortals always seemed a little distant, not condescending, just indifferent. This also made him a little confused. It wasn't until he couldn't help but ask her that Shuo Yue Finally told him the reason.
Although she had only survived one disaster and three calamities, the time she spent practicing was already extremely long for a mortal.
Contrary to what Zhang Chi thought, the lifespan of rabbits is often only about ten years, but the relationship between developing spiritual wisdom and embarking on the path of spiritual practice is that spiritual practice comes first, and spiritual wisdom develops later.
Taking the essence of heaven and earth and absorbing the aura of the sun and the moon is just the first step from beast to monster. After truly becoming a monster and starting to practice, many monsters will go astray, such as jackals, tigers and leopards who eat meat. Eating people and absorbing their essence and blood for their own cultivation may increase their strength very quickly, but it is inconsistent with the way of heaven. The best result is just a big monster that dominates the mountain and becomes the king.
This is also the reason why herbivores, such as elk and rabbits, are more likely to become immortals.
In the same way, the nature of lonely souls and resentful ghosts is to harvest people's yang energy, which makes it even more difficult to achieve positive results.
It takes a process to transform from a demon to an immortal, and this process is the process of opening up spiritual wisdom, and then enlightening oneself again, which is considered as cultivating as a loose immortal.
Protecting the land and bringing peace to the people is not an obligation, but it is a shortcut. On the one hand, it accumulates incense for spiritual practice, and on the other hand, it accumulates negative virtues.
Yin De exists in the dark, but neither Shuo Yue nor any Earth Immortal can explain why.
Of course, there are exceptions to this. The five great immortals according to folk legends, including fox, yellow, white and willow ash, do not have to follow this order exactly.
God is unfair. Although these people all like meat, spiritual wisdom is developed together with the path of spiritual practice. In other words, they understand the joints of the spiritual path earlier than ordinary monsters. Those who want to become immortals often do not commit murder. No matter how evil he is, his magical powers are also more powerful.
There is no reason in this world.
Hundreds of years have passed since Shuo Yue became a demon to an immortal. The mortals here, generation after generation, have long become passers-by in her eyes, and it is really difficult for her to have any fluctuations in her mind.
For these mortals to call her "ancestor" would be regarded as giving her backup.
Immortals are different, and the world in their eyes is different.
So Shuo Yue was also very curious as to why Zhang Chi cared so much about these mortals and could endure his temper to treat them.
It was hard for Zhang Chi to say that he was only forty years old if he talked too much, and his actual age was probably in his early twenties, so he could only smile bitterly and shut up, not explaining much to her.
