Seeing Zhang Xiaopeng and the other four looking at him for advice, Black Ape couldn't help but raise his chin arrogantly. He felt that he was indeed the smartest in the world, and he was the center of attention no matter where he went.
It smoothed a bunch of hair on its chin, cleared its throat, and then said slowly: "Returning to the ancestors means that after this great king reaches the king's realm, he will then cultivate from the king's realm back to ordinary monsters step by step."
""Zhang Xiaozu and the other four looked at each other in confusion. They didn't understand. It wasn't that they didn't understand, but they just couldn't understand.
Isn’t cultivation all about going from low to high?
How can you still practice from high to low?
What kind of practice is that?
The words of the black ape are beyond their cognitive scope, so let them understand them properly.
Zhang Xiaozu vaguely remembered that after the black ape swallowed the demon elixir of the Phoenix-tailed Firebird, its body indeed shrunk from over five feet tall to over three feet tall.
At that time, he thought that Hei Yuan was deliberately becoming smaller in order to make his figure more "slender" so that he could practice the Hantan dance.
Only now did he realize that the black ape had become smaller because it was retreating to practice.
"Returning to our ancestors, from high to low, from existence to non-existence, how should we practice?" Taoist Qinglian couldn't figure it out.
Black Ape stretched out his index finger towards the four of them and sighed arrogantly: "Your level of cultivation is too low. Even if I tell you, you don't understand."
"Brother Yuan, we are very ignorant. This is the first time we have heard about the practice of returning to our ancestors. You are very knowledgeable and you have taught us a lot about it, which has also given us a lot of insights." Zhang Xiaozu complimented.
"good."
"Then let me tell you a brief story."
Black Ape took great advantage of Zhang Xiaopou's compliment and said: "To put it bluntly, cultivation is the understanding of the various laws of power in the world. The more thorough your understanding, the more skillful you will be in using the laws of power, so your cultivation will be better."
The higher it is, the stronger the combat power is.
But no matter how thoroughly you understand the Law of Power, you are always bound between this world and the earth. No matter how you jump, you can't jump out, because when you understand the Law of Power, the Law of Power is also changing you and making you.
Unknowingly, it becomes a part of this world.
Therefore, if you want to jump out, you have to comprehend, no, it is not to comprehend, but to create, to create your own law of power, and let your law of power override the law you have comprehended, and then
A little bit of denial and breaking it up."
The black ape stopped and saw that Zhang Xiaopeng and the other four people were frowning, with expressions on their faces that were thoughtful but unexplainable, and a sense of superiority arose in its heart.
He cleared his throat and continued: "Why can I, the great king, come out of the dark forest, but those great monsters who are ten times and a hundred times more powerful than me, cannot?
It is because they have not created their own laws of power. Their power comes from the laws of heaven and earth. Therefore, when the laws of heaven and earth act against them, they have almost no power to resist.
But this great king is different. This great king has his own law of power. Not only is he not bound by the laws of heaven and earth, but he can also fight against them."
The black ape drifted away as he blew, forgetting the fear of being dominated by thunder during the day.
Black Ape threw a Yuanshi Golden Pill into his mouth and finally concluded:
"Your level of cultivation is still low, and you cannot feel the fear of being controlled by the laws of heaven for the time being. Only when your level of cultivation reaches a certain height and you have close contact with the laws of heaven, will you be able to
Further insights.”
"Brother Ape, what's your current state?" Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help but asked curiously, "Have you jumped out of the world and are completely unconstrained by the laws of heaven and earth?"
"That's not true."
Black Ape shook his head and said: "Although I am talented and intelligent, it only took me just over a hundred years to realize my own law of power, break the law of heaven and earth that restrains me, and successfully return to my ancestors, but there are still some elements in my law of power.
There are some shadows of the laws of heaven and earth, so it cannot be said that it is completely freed from the constraints of the laws of heaven and earth. I still need to continue to understand and perfect my own laws and Tao."
Hearing what Black Ape said, Zhang Xiaozhu and the other four couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness. They felt that there was a gap of several hundred years of cultivation time between them and Black Ape. Maybe they didn't need to consider this kind of atavistic practice at all, because they simply couldn't live that long.
Long.
The four of them sighed inwardly for a while, then turned their attention away from the practice of returning to their ancestors.
Let’s wait until the distant future to think about such a distant thing.
Thinking about the present moment is what matters.
"Senior sister, please help me arrange an isolation barrier to cover the courtyard." Zhang Xiaozu said to Taoist Qinglian.
"Okay." Taoist Qinglian nodded in agreement. Qinglian held her body up into the air, took out yellow triangular flags from the void space, and threw them around the yard.
"That's it." Throwing out the last formation flag, Taoist Qinglian fell from the sky and said.
As she finished speaking, a thick cloud of gas suddenly floated out of thin air in the courtyard, and soon enveloped the entire courtyard.
Zhang Xiaozu took out the blue jade bead necklace from the mustard seeds.
The necklace was made of an unknown rope, and it took a lot of strength for Zhang Xiaopou to break it.
He took off the blue jade beads one by one and counted them. There were twenty-eight in total.
Zhang Xiaozu picked up the largest one and placed it in the palm of his left hand. The power of the Taoist ghost appeared on the finger of the sword in his right hand. With anticipation and nervousness, he slowly and carefully added the soul-nurturing talisman to the jade bead.
After half a cup of tea, Zhang Xiaozu made the final stroke with his sword finger.
A soul-nurturing talisman with flowing light and containing the power of a powerful Taoist ghost was suspended above the jade bead.
Zhang Xiaozu took a deep breath and lightly tapped the soul-nurturing talisman with his sword finger. The soul-nurturing talisman suddenly shrank rapidly and was submerged into the jade bead.
"It's done!" After waiting for about ten breaths, the beads were safe and sound. The nervousness on Zhang Xiaozu's face was immediately replaced by surprise, and he couldn't help shouting happily.
"What?" Black Ape reached out to grab the jade beads curiously.
Zhang Xiaozu pressed his five fingers together, held the jade bead in his palm, and handed it to Qi Yoyo who was sitting on his left.
Qi Yoyo accepted it with a smile.
She saw that this jade bead was the largest and most beautiful one among the twenty-eight.
"Humph!" Black Ape snorted dissatisfied.
"Brother Ape, don't worry, I'll give you one to bless you." Zhang Xiaozu said with a smile.
He felt that although this black ape had lived for hundreds of years, his mind still had the temperament of a child.
After half a cup of tea, Zhang Xiaozu successfully blessed the second one.
Black Ape couldn't wait to grab it. When he felt the nourishing power of the soul, he suddenly jumped up on the spot, stared at Zhang Xiaopou and exclaimed in surprise: "You can actually do this kind of thing!"
When Zhang Xiaozhu heard this, he looked startled at first, and then he was as surprised as the black ape, and asked anxiously: "Who else knows how to do such a thing?"
"A man."
"But he's dead."
"Has he been dead for seven hundred years or eight hundred years? It has been so long that I have forgotten it."
Black Ape said sadly.
"Who is he? How did he die? Did he die in the dark forest?" Zhang Xiaozu asked in shock and curiosity, adding at the end: "By the way, you have lived for seven or eight hundred years?!"
"Forgot." Black Ape glanced sideways at Zhang Xiaopou, obviously not wanting to talk more about that man.
Seeing that Hei Yuan didn't want to talk, Zhang Xiaopou didn't ask further, thinking that we would have a long time to get along with each other anyway, so there was no need to ask in a hurry.
Zhang Xiaozu then blessed all the remaining jade beads in one breath. The jade beads were very powerful and not a single one was broken. They were all successful.
One was given to Taoist Qinglian and Niu Dawa each.
Qinglian Taoist hesitated to speak, wanting to ask the great monk for one, but in the end he was too embarrassed to speak.
"Brother Ape, please describe to us the elixir used in the body refining recipe." Zhang Xiaozu looked at Black Ape with a smile and said.
Black Ape stood up and patted his butt, saying: "I'm tired, your Majesty. Go to bed. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
After saying that, he jumped up and disappeared into the mist that shrouded the courtyard.
"" Zhang Xiaozu was so angry that the corners of his eyes twitched, and he said in his heart: "I smashed ten ambergris fruits. If they were replaced by Yuanshi Golden Pills, there would be two hundred thousand pills. If they were piled up in the yard, they would be enough to create a hill.
It’s really deceiving to receive such a bad service attitude!”
But considering the Black Ape's combat power, he could only grumble secretly in his heart.
Taoist Qinglian lifted the ban.
The four people in the group each went back to their rooms to sleep.
Qi Yoyo was injured during the day and was mentally exhausted. He lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
Zhang Xiaozu, who was sleeping in the next room, tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Scenes of growing up in Liujia Village appeared in his mind uncontrollably. It was warm and cozy but also sad at the same time.
"Damn Su Yang!"
Zhang Xiaozu cursed fiercely in his heart, and then took out Su Yang's soul power from the mustard seeds.
To be more precise, it should be the soul power of the unlucky ghost king, but Zhang Xiaozu regarded it as Su Yang's soul power. When he absorbed it, it was like eating Su Yang alive, which relieved the bad energy in his heart.
dong dong dong
Just as Zhang Xiaozu was about to close his eyes and absorb the soul power, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Then came the voice of Taoist Qinglian: "Junior brother, are you asleep?"
"Not yet." Zhang Xiaozu responded.
"Are you going out for a walk?" Qinglian Taoist asked.
"good."
Zhang Xiaozu responded, got dressed, got out of bed, and walked out the door.
In the quiet alley, Zhang Xiaozu and Taoist Qinglian walked side by side.
Qinglian Taoist asked Zhang Xiaozu to come out, but he didn't speak for a long time, as if Zhang Xiaozu just wanted to accompany her and walk around Liujiacun.
She actually wanted to talk to Zhang Xiaozu about relationship issues, but she was too embarrassed to speak when the words came to her lips.
In the past, she had always kept her emotional problems in her heart. Except for occasionally lamenting to Master Tianwu, she had never confided in anyone.
But since the last time she talked to Zhang Xiaozu, she felt as if she was addicted. She was extremely uncomfortable with her worries, so she wanted to talk to Zhang Xiaozu and listen to Zhang Xiaozu's opinions.
"Did Master Huijing accept the holy blood you gave him?" Zhang Xiaozu broke the silence and asked after turning around an alley.
"He didn't want it, but I opened his mouth and forced it into his stomach." Taoist Qinglian said with a smile.
After a pause, he continued: "I heard that not long after he returned to Tianbao Mountain, he crossed the other side and was promoted to the Star Realm."
"Sister, are you more happy or worried?" Zhang Xiaozu asked with a smile.
"Half and half," Taoist Qinglian said, "I haven't seen him since we were separated last time. I'm afraid that when I see him, I will find that he has become a strange monk."
"Then we'll never see you again?"
Qinglian Taoist said: "Of course I want to see you, I can't bear this kind of suffering. I came out to ask you if I can give the jade beads to the monk?"
Zhang Xiaozu nodded and said: "Yes. But you have to make Master Huijing promise not to leak this secret."
"This is natural. Don't worry, although the great monk is a bit dull and stupid, he has never broken his promise. I will make him swear an oath of confidentiality before I give it to him." Qinglian Taoist said.
The rich soul-nourishing power contained in jade beads, as soon as she felt it, she knew that blessing objects with such effects must not be spread, otherwise it would inevitably bring disaster.
Zhang Xiaozu took out a jade bead and spread it in the palm of his hand. He looked at Taoist Qinglian and said, "The stronger the soul, the stronger the concentration of mind. Senior sister, you have to think carefully about whether to leave the great monk in the mortal world or stay together all the way."
Help him to become a holy monk? If the great monk realizes enlightenment and becomes a Buddha one day, and forgets about you, and you cry in pain and wipe your eyes, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance."
Taoist Qinglian stared at the jade bead in Zhang Xiaozu's palm for a while, then reached out and pinched it in his hand. He smiled brightly and said, "Then I can let go completely. I don't have to live so entangled and tired."
…
Talking from morning to noon, Qinglian Taoist and Qi Yoyo held the "Qizhenlu" which recorded rare flowers and herbs, repeatedly confirmed every elixir mentioned by Black Ape, and finally came up with a collection of five
Fourteen types of body refining elixirs containing heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Looking at the names of various heavenly and earthly treasures on the prescription, the beautiful red lips of the two girls opened in shock.
