Hou Lin smiled and said: "Young man, don't be surprised. In fact, I am also a monk. I broke through the first level and practiced cultivation when I was young. But I became the king very early, and I have been managing state affairs since then, so I don't have much time to concentrate on cultivation.
Maybe it's because of my poor qualifications. I couldn't make any progress after the ninth level of the first realm. That was many years ago.
Entering the first level has made me have subtle senses, quick thinking, and more energy than ordinary people. However, after being a king for so many years, I gradually forgot that I had practiced cultivation. Even if I occasionally think about it and feel a little regretful, there is always more.
There are many things waiting for me to deal with. If I don’t advance in cultivation, I will retreat. Today, I am far from the cultivation level of the first nine levels."
Huwa hurriedly said: "The initial level of cultivation only makes people sensitive and energetic, but it is much more difficult to be the king of a country than ordinary cultivation! How can ordinary monks in the world be as wise and understanding as you? And I
I would like to ask, even if you had the cultivation level of the ninth level of the first realm, how could you think that what I just performed was the Essence Technique?"
Hou Lin replied: "Don't you know, Mr. Jinghua Jue? The Jinghua Jue is the secret method passed down by our country of Ba! It was brought into Ba Yuan by my ancestor, Yan Zhao, the founding king of Ba, and has been used in the clan and school for generations.
According to legend, there have always been very few people who can achieve great success in cultivation. As long as the kings of the past dynasties could break through the four realms in cultivation, they would receive the secret secret of the essence.
What is shameful is that, except for the founder of the country, no one in the past has been able to master the practice of the Jinghua Jue. Instead, other descendants of the clan and the heads of the academy have passed down this secret. Unfortunately, due to the civil war in Ba Yuan a hundred years ago, the inheritance of the Jinghua Jue has been lost.
Broken. My grandfather rebuilt the country of Pakistan from the ruins after the war, and it has been passed down to me for three generations.
Although the Ba clan does not inherit the Essence Technique now, it is after all the secret method passed down to the country back then. As a monarch, I have little cultivation. I have heard about the wonderful benefits of practicing and using the Essence Technique since I was a child. How can I recognize it?
Not coming out? Since Mr. Xiao has mastered such secret techniques, may I ask if he is the successor of Senior Qingsha?"
Huwa asked in surprise: "Of course I have heard of the name Qingsha. But who is this person? Has he also mastered the Jinghua Jue?"
Hou Lin smiled bitterly and said: "First, there was a senior Qingsha who made a name for himself in Ba Yuan, and later he became known as the Seven Shas of Ba Yuan. I don't know who this person is. He is probably related to the clan or academy of the old Ba Kingdom. According to me
As far as I know, this senior may be the last person in Ba Yuan who has mastered the Jing Hua Jue. Therefore, I guess you are his successor. Don’t you also know the identity of Qing Sha?”
Huwa secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that Qingsha, who was the earliest among the seven evil spirits of Bayuan and has been gradually forgotten by people, is the mountain god who once guided him? The mountain god has never told Huwa his identity and name, and now he hears that
Hou Lin said this. Huwa could not help but guess this, but he replied: "I really don't know the identity of Senior Qingsha, and the elite techniques I practice are not taught by this senior. As for the person who gave me guidance
Your Majesty, you have ordered me not to reveal my identity."
Everything Huwa said was true. His Essence Technique was not taught by the mountain gods, but was realized by himself during practice, just like the experience of Emperor Taihao when he created the Essence Technique. The monarch had already seen what kind of secret technique he was using.
, there was a tiger baby, so he no longer denied it. Unexpectedly, his secret was not discovered by an expert, but by a monarch with almost no magical powers, because of the accident just now.
The monarch could recognize the method used by Huwa because he knew the description of the Jinghua Jue passed down through the generations. But after all, it was a long time ago and he himself had not received the inheritance. Some details were not clear. For example, a person who had practiced the Jinghua Jue
It was impossible for the Four Realm monks to use Huwa's methods, and Huwa didn't explain much.
After hearing this, Hou Lin sighed again: "Senior Qingsha became famous more than a hundred years ago. There has been no news about him in Ba Yuan for more than a hundred years. He may have gone to heaven long ago. But
This senior may also have left a legacy, and your master may be related to him. But since your elder has given this order, I can’t ask any more questions.”
Huwa said helplessly: "Thank you so much, Lord! What else do you want to ask me?"
Hou Lin also smiled bitterly and asked: "Little sir, what do you think?" What the monarch wanted to ask most at the moment was, of course, the effect of this treatment - how long can he live?
Huwa pondered: "I don't dare to say anything about life and death. But if there are no other accidents, just talk about the limit of lifespan, nothing will happen to you within a year. And after a year, your body will gradually fail.
.But I just saw the various elixirs in the hall outside the house, and I also know that you have masters like Mr. Changling beside you. If you take good care of it, you should be able to support it for about half a year."
While they were talking, the two of them had walked out of the quiet room and came to the hall outside. Panhu was squatting there. Seeing the king's high-spirited look, he stood up happily and shook his tail. Hou Lin smiled and leaned down.
He patted the dog's head with his lower body and praised it a few times, saying it was probably smart, cute, obedient, etc. Although it didn't make sense, Panhu was quite happy.
In the back row, Huwa was invited to take a seat. Panhu also sat beside him like a dog. The monarch looked around and asked: "Sir, you just treated me without using any magic medicine. Look here.
What other things are available?”
There are two rows of wooden shelves on both sides of this hall, on which are piled various elixirs, which were presented to the monarch by everyone. Lord Gongzheng brought them to the forbidden area with his personal space artifact, and they are now displayed here for Huwa to take.
Use it. The five-flowered ginseng king that Xiaomiao picked up in Pengshan not long ago is also among them, and there are nearly a hundred kinds of elixirs like this in the hall.
Some are simply processed original strains of drugs that have not yet been refined and purified into elixirs suitable for direct use. It may be that the people who collected the elixirs are not good at refining elixirs, so they were sent here like this. Others have already been
The refined elixirs are placed in various vessels such as jade bottles, which should be treasured by each sect.
Huwa explained: "Since you recognized that the method I used was Jinghua Jue, you should understand why I didn't use other elixirs. Even if I did, it would be a waste. On the contrary, the effect of the same elixirs used by the monarch in the future would be greatly damaged.
.After one year, you can take these elixirs."
Hou Lin sighed with emotion: "This is a great blessing that is hard to find in life. What the young gentleman just said is right. The creation of heaven and earth can only be borrowed and cannot be taken away. Originally, I died of a serious illness three years ago, and now I still have one
After a year and a half, I have to thank the blessings of heaven and earth, and I am grateful for the kindness of the little gentleman! ... If you are still not satisfied, then you really deserve to die!"
As he spoke, the monarch stood up and bowed to Huwa again. Huwa quickly supported him. But Houlin turned around and knelt down to the east, not to Huwa. Huwa asked curiously: "You
What is this doing?”
Hou Lin stood up and then replied: "This is to thank my ancestors. If Emperor Taihao hadn't created the Jinghua Jue and spread it to the world, and if there hadn't been the ancestor Yan Zhao who brought this inheritance to Ba Yuan, how could I have received this favor today?" He sat down again.
He looked around and sighed, "I heard that not long ago in Pengshan, many young people from various sects almost died. Fortunately, they were saved by you. I also have to thank you very much, young gentleman!"
It seems that this monarch attaches great importance to reputation and does not want to leave any infamy even if he dies. He previously ordered that regardless of the outcome of the treatment of the tiger baby, the tiger baby must be allowed to leave safely. This may also be due to this consideration.
Huwa consoled him: "What happened in Pengshan more than ten days ago had another reason. General Zhenbei should have made it clear to you that it was a monk named Ji Ying who had bad intentions. Before I saw you, I had gone through many places.
In this place, the king is loved by all the people, so everyone sent so many elixirs."
Huwa walked around the hall and studied the elixirs on the shelves. He opened the bottles and jars and looked at them carefully. Among them, nearly ten kinds of elixirs were rare in the world, although they were not comparable.
It is an elixir of immortality, but its value is no less than that of Nagarjuna Teardrop, and its efficacious effect is to replenish vitality.
After reading it, he said: "There are too many elixirs here. One-third is enough for the king of the country. If you refine and take more, it will be a waste of elixirs."
Hou Lin nodded and said: "Everyone has sent you these elixirs out of your heart... Young sir, you didn't talk about remuneration before. If you have any requests, you can ask now, right?"
Huwa said calmly: "I do have something to ask the king, and the first thing I want to do is related to the Jinghua Jue. I used the Jinghua Jue in front of you to save your life. But I don't want to leak it out.
, please keep the secret for me!"
Hou Lin actually laughed: "What a coincidence. I don't want to leak this matter, and I want to ask the young gentleman to keep it a secret for me! After leaving this room, I will never mention it to anyone again... But like this
, how do you explain the fact that not a single elixir was used? If you like any of the elixirs here, you can take them away, but I will say that they were used by you."
Huwa: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty!" He was not polite and took several elixirs from the shelf. They were all already refined in small bottles. It was convenient to hide them in his arms and take them out.
Huwa himself may not need it, but it would be good to use it as a tool to make friends with monks from various sects in the future. More importantly, he wants to use these elixirs to study the methods of refining medicines of various sects.
Hou Lin said in surprise: "That's all you take?"
Huwa nodded and said: "These are enough. It is not easy to take other things, and it is even more inconvenient to carry them with you." Then he took out the jade box from his arms and said: "The elixir in this box has been given by the king.
If you don’t need it, can you let me take it with you?”
Hou Lin smiled and said: "This is your thing. Everyone thinks that you want to use it to treat me. If you take it away quietly, others will only think that it has been used by you... The piece deep in Pengshan
The valley, as well as the surrounding area of ten miles, will also be rewarded to you." (To be continued...)
