Strange Sequence: Longevity from Guoshu

Chapter 288 Three people walking together, Zhuo Cuo practices

Jiang You carried the two of them high in the sky and flew them until they reached the woods at the foot of the mountain before placing them on the ground.

Zhuo Cuo had just seen the rolling avalanche with overwhelming force and wanted to crush it by himself. Then he felt the world was spinning. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had appeared in the forest, and the immortal-like man once again appeared in the forest. Appeared in front of him, and the donkey from before was also beside him, gnawing the grass on the ground out of boredom.

He rubbed his eyes and quickly knelt down to Jiang You. The immortal appeared again and saved his life. Then he saw the long-faced monk falling to the ground, moaning in pain, with black burns all over his body. Yes, most of the flesh and blood on his face was burned away, and half of his face exposed his white teeth, making him look like an evil ghost.

Seeing that a lot of air has been released, less air has been taken in, and his life is not long.

He crawled to the long-faced monk and put him on his knees. He felt that he was simply a disaster. First his parents, then his guru, and now the long-faced monk. No matter how good people were to him, they would end up like this. What will happen?

The tears couldn't stop dripping down.

The long-faced monk stretched out his hand with difficulty and moved his mouth several times, but still could not speak.

"Master, what do you want to say or what last wish do you have? Zhuocuo will definitely make it happen for you even if you die!"

Zhuocuo said with a cry.

"Okay, stop crying. How can it be so easy when I'm thinking about death?"

Jiang You next to him smiled and waved, and Zhuo Cuo was pushed aside by a burst of energy. Then the long-faced monk flew up and hung in front of Jiang You. He first checked the long-faced monk's injuries and found that they were in good condition. The troublesome demonic thoughts have been almost purified due to his outrageous act of setting fire to his body, and now he is just suffering from internal organ failure.

Jiang You's fingers quickly touched the long-faced monk's body. Each finger landed on a key acupuncture point. His fingernails lit up white, and Changsheng Qi entered his body. He first replaced the failing internal organs to maintain vitality for the body, and then treated other parts. Start repairing.

Although the workload is quite large, for Jiang You at this time, the consumption is still within the acceptable range.

Speaking of which, the long-faced monk was not destined to die. It happened that Jiang You, who was pregnant with immortal energy, was at hand and could treat him immediately. Otherwise, with his injuries, he would not be able to escape death in the hands of anyone else. .

After Zhuocuo spoke out in Jiang You, he realized that there was an immortal beside him. If the immortal was willing to take action, the long-faced monk must be saved.

He watched nervously from the side, not daring to express his anger, for fear that he would affect Jiang You. Finally, twenty minutes later, the body of the long-faced monk fell to the ground, and Jiang You exhaled heavily, "Almost Got it!"

When Zhuocuo saw this, he quickly wanted to check on the long-faced monk. Who knows, as soon as he moved, the long-faced monk actually got up from the ground.

"Rigzo said thank you to the immortal for saving my life!"

Who would have thought that the man who was about to die just now, under Jiang You's treatment, could now speak. Apart from his current appearance, which is a bit ferocious and terrifying, his body was fine. He was simply Come back to life!

The immortality effect of Yiqi Immortality Kung Fu indeed has the shadow of the handiwork of immortal gods, which made Rengzeng a practitioner find it incredible, and the name Jiang You became an immortal like Zhuo Cuo.

After saying this, Renzeng kowtowed and worshiped, and Jiang You greedily said, "Actually, this thing is also my fault. I took action too late to let you suffer this. Fortunately, you are not in danger of life, otherwise I would be too guilty."

"The Immortal not only saved my two possessed brothers, but also saved my life. It's too late to thank the Immortal!"

"It's just that your flesh and blood is mutilated. It can only be healed by your cultivation in the future. There are still residual demonic thoughts in your body. It will take hard work to pull them out completely!"

"The human body is nothing more than a skin. The reason why Renzeng suffered this calamity was because I was greedy for merit and did not listen to my senior brother's words. This evil thought can just remind Renzen at all times that greed for merit and good deeds is also greed. ah!"

Jiang You nodded. He had heard the entire conversation they had in the temple. It was indeed a process of cause and effect.

In Buddhism, whether it is Mahayana or Hinayana, there is a shortcut to practice, which is to save demons. Because two senior brothers became demons, Renzin became greedy and wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the two senior brothers and accumulate his own merits. , to help you practice.

This is much faster than practicing outside.

There seems to be no problem with this matter. In history, other eminent monks have similar deeds. However, the eminent monks act for the sake of the common people in the world. First of all, there is no "I" in the world. Doing this will naturally have immeasurable merit, and his cultivation level will greatly increase.

However, although Renzeng said to Zhuocuo that he was afraid that someone would accidentally break in and release the restrictions to let the two demons come out, he was actually considering his own cultivation. If this method can work, then he can practice it. It's as simple as making people possessed first, then suppressing them and turning them into assembly lines. Can we mass-produce 'eminent monks'?
Ever since Renzin became greedy, he had already planted the seeds of demonic thoughts in his mind. His demonic brother was just following the trend.

Jiang You nodded appreciatively, "Yes, you can understand this, which means you have read the Buddhist scriptures. Misfortune and blessings depend on misfortunes. Now that you have passed the disaster, will you be able to find peace and prosperity? The road to practice will be broadened!" "

The two people's words made Zhuo Cuo next to them confused. How come this incident that almost killed them was considered a blessing by the two of them?

Zhuocuo didn't understand and asked directly.

The two of them looked at Zhuo Cuo with a smile and said, "You will naturally understand in the future!"

Zhuocuo scratched his head. He just wished that he would not have this kind of blessing again in the future. He couldn't bear it. But now that Master Rigzin has nothing to do, it would be fine.

Afterwards, Jiang You asked Renzeng and his companions about their practice methods and why they were so easily possessed by demons.

Rigzen was not upset when someone asked him about his Dharma lineage. He explained it to Jiang You in detail. After hearing this, Jiang You only lamented that this practice method was indeed too extreme and required extremely high mental state. Unlike other sects, the demonic thoughts of the people are not discovered and eradicated in time without leaving any future troubles. Instead, they regard them as a help on their own cultivation path, tolerate them and let them develop. When the demonic thoughts rise, how can they fight? Subdue it and sharpen your character.

It is really the path of ascetic cultivation, practicing in self-abuse. This method has a very low threshold and the speed of cultivation is fast, but the risk is also high. Like his two senior brothers, he often becomes a demon after practicing.

Unless you have great perseverance, great wisdom, and perseverance, you cannot practice it.Usually, this method is taught only after many years of asceticism and approval by the master.

Jiang You was also amazed after hearing this, thinking that there are really various ways of cultivation in the world, and he has gained a lot of experience.

Later, Jiang You asked the two of them what their plans were in the future.

He is now the only one left in Zhuocuo's family. He has no relatives and friends, and he doesn't know where he can go.

Rigzin learned through Zhuocuo that there was no one in his temple, the Nyig Temple no longer existed, and the Tibetan Palace and the Jokhang Temple were now surrounded by demons. He could not get in or get out, and he did not know how to deal with them for a while.

Jiang You listened and smiled and said: "Since you don't know where to go, I have a place to go. I wonder if you are willing to go."

"where?"

"I have opened a college in my hometown, recruiting students to the general public, and teaching the way of cultivation to all. If you are interested, Rigzin, I can recommend you to be a lecturer in the college, where you can practice Taoism and swordsmanship. There are many teachings on practicing Mahayana Buddhism, weapon refining, and formations. There happens to be no Hinayana Buddhism, so you can be considered a representative if you go there!"

"Oh?" Renzeng said after hearing Jiang said that there was Mahayana Buddhism there, "You don't know something. Hinayana can't enter the Central Plains. I went there. I'm afraid it's not appropriate!"

"Haha, those are the rules of the past. I have the final say over there, it's okay!"

When Renzeng heard that there was such a good thing, he naturally agreed, "Renzeng can only dream of having the opportunity to teach Hinayana Buddhism in the Central Plains."

"What about you? Zhuocuo, of course you go, you're just a student!"

Zhuocuo had originally wanted to practice cultivation and was confused now. When he heard that the immortal had opened a college and that Master Rigzin had gone there, of course he didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

"I have already said that I am not an immortal. I am just a little farther along the path of cultivation than you. Just call me Jiang You. Okay, now that we have agreed, let's set off!"

At this time, Jiang You stopped thinking about finding the city here and set off back to Qin Province with the two of them.

On the way, because Rigzen's injury was not fully recovered, he was asked to ride a donkey, while Jiang You and Zhuo Cuo walked.

This is a place with vast land and sparsely populated areas, and the roads are all wilderness. Jiang You had nothing to do, so he instructed Zhuo Cuo to start some simple practices.

Based on the steps he realized while walking with a monument in Guizhou Province, he greatly simplified them and turned them into a footwork that can exercise Qi and blood while walking and taught it to Zhuo Cuo.

It just happens to give Zhuocuo some speed boost, otherwise he, an ordinary person, would have to walk from here to Qin Province after the growth of the earth.

As expected, Zhuo Cuo had outstanding talent in martial arts. Jiang You just told him once, and after guiding his Qi and blood to flow, he followed suit and mastered everything.

At that moment, his legs were running like flying, and his speed doubled. After obtaining the technique, the power of Qi and blood contained in Zhuo Cuo's body began to explode. The progress was rapid. It took only half a day to completely master this technique. , by walking with two legs, Qi and blood can be accumulated.

Zhuo Cuo has gone through many hardships, and his desire for his own strength is extremely high. He also knows that practicing Kung Fu is hard-won, so he practices extremely hard, which fully reflects the perseverance of the herdsmen in the bitter cold land.

Whenever he was exhausted and his eyes turned black, Jiang You would always take a break in time, and then Jiang You would take out the monster meat and spiritual wine and distribute them to the two of them.

Because of this, Zhuo Cuo was able to replenish his body's consumption on the second day, making progress visible to the naked eye almost every day. And because of the replenishment of monster meat, Zhuo Cuo's body's injuries were also completely healed. recover.

After he recovered, he let Jiang You ride on the donkey. After that, Renzin also joined the fast-moving ranks, but he was twirling the rosary beads on his hands, chanting sutras, and walking barefoot, regardless of the people around him. No matter how fast Zhuo Cuo was, he was always ahead of him.

Renzin also used this method to purify his mind and drive away the remaining evil thoughts. At the same time, he could also put a little pressure on Zhuocuo around him to encourage him to further explore his potential.

Jiang You was leaning on the donkey leisurely, drinking and sleeping on his back, but there was white air lingering around his mouth and nose from time to time.

The three of them were like this. Along the way, except for necessary conversations, they almost didn't speak, each doing their own thing.

We walked all the way for seven days, leaving Ganzi and entering Aba.

Aba is even more empty than Ganzi, but there are more mountains.

The night before entering the forest.Wilderness, late at night.

The Milky Way is bright and the night wind is blowing strong.

At an orange bonfire, a lama wearing a red monk's robe crossed his legs and chanted sutras, and his face was illuminated by the swaying light of the fire.

The white teeth and blood-red muscle fibers on half of the face were exposed to the air, looking as terrifying as a demon, while the other half of the face had a peaceful expression.

Next to this man, a muscular young man stood shirtless. His dark muscles reflected a red sheen under the firelight. Steam was constantly emanating from his body. He held a strong donkey beside him, sleeping soundly.

It was extremely quiet between heaven and earth, and only the sound of the wind and the crackling of the bonfire could be heard.

Just when Zhuo Cuo was standing still, a black shadow suddenly came from behind. Zhuo Cuo opened his eyes suddenly after hearing the sound of the wind. Before he could dodge, the black shadow had already hit him heavily on his left rib.

But it didn't make his figure shake at all.

"You've done a good job in standing upright, let's stop here tonight!"

When Zhuocuo heard Jiang You's voice, he quickly stopped his work and stood up straight respectfully. However, in just seven days, Zhuocuo had become leaner and his skin was much darker, but his eyes were brighter and he had a Strong temperament.

Jiang You admired in his heart, he was really born with the materials for martial arts training. With good wine and good meat to eat, he taught him casually. Just relying on pile skills, he has now entered the threshold of Ming Jin. I'm afraid he can do it even faster than Qi Honghu did back then. .

However, Qi Honghu practiced boxing earlier and mainly accumulated foundation in the early stage. The two cannot be compared like this.

Zhuo Cuo saw Jiang You holding a stone euphorbia in his hand, which he had just used to take a picture of himself.

"See it clearly!"

Jiang You turned his wrist, waved the halberd, and combined the moves of the Baji Spear and Tai Chi hammer techniques into a halberd technique for Zhuo Cuo to practice.

Zhuo Cuo saw that Jiang You was like a swimming dragon with a big halberd in his hand, picking it up, holding it, locking it, hooking it, leaning on it, collapsing it, hanging it, blocking it, and thwarting it.

Like a landslide and unstoppable, Zhuocuo felt a wild hunting and domineering momentum rising from Jiang You from a long distance away.

When Jiang You finished the drill, he asked, "Do you understand?"

"Teacher, only remember half of it!" Zhuo Cuo scratched his head, feeling ashamed that he couldn't remember half of it.

Jiang You didn't let him call him Immortal. After Jiang You taught him martial arts, he wanted to become a disciple directly and call him master, but Jiang You wouldn't let him. In the end, he had to call him teacher.

"Well, then, you practice it again and I'll take a look."

Jiang You threw the spurge casually, and Zhuo Cuo quickly caught it. As soon as he took it, the spurge, which was as light as a feather in Jiang You's hand, was so heavy that he staggered with it.

Then Zhuocuo struggled to swing the halberd, mirroring the way Jiang You had just waved it. After only three moves, Zhuocuo was out of breath, dripping with sweat, and could no longer fight.

"Okay, just practice these three moves first, then do it again and do what I tell you!"

Jiang You explained the essentials of these three moves to Zhuo Cuo one by one, and then watched him practice them three more times before letting him figure it out on his own.

Before leaving, he also gave instructions that he was too weak now and would not leave his body for a moment while eating, sleeping and going to the toilet.

Zhuocuo regarded Jiang You as a god and dared not disobey his words, so he fell asleep holding the euphorbia that night.

They started to go into the mountains on the second day. Jiang You and Renzeng had no impact, but Zhuo Cuo suffered a serious crime.

The mountain forest was no better than the previous wilderness, and the footwork taught by Jiang You was not applicable here. In addition, he was carrying an extremely heavy halberd behind his back, making it extremely difficult to walk at this time.

But Jiang You turned a blind eye to this. When Zhuocuo was exhausted again, Renzeng couldn't help but said: "The method taught by Sir is infinitely mysterious. How can it be possible that if the terrain changes, it won't be useful?"

When Zhuo Cuo heard this, he suddenly realized. He secretly cursed himself for being stupid and not knowing how to adapt. The footwork taught to him by his teacher was clearly a method of tempering Qi and blood. He only knew how to copy it and didn't know how to adapt. He was really stupid!

After Renzeng finished speaking, Zhuocuo began to try to adjust the flow of Qi and blood according to the specific conditions of the mountain.

After pondering for a long time, he found a suitable method.

Renzeng nodded slightly when he saw it, and then looked at Jiang You apologetically. Jiang You smiled and waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

Zhuo Cuo has no talent for martial arts, but he is a bit dull. The life of a herdsman has given him the tenacity to fight against nature and an open-minded mentality, but at the same time it has also brought him a sense of dullness, or innocence.

This kind of personality has good and bad qualities. The good thing is that he practices extremely hard and works hard, and he will carry out what Jiang said without any compromise, and he will not be lazy. The bad thing is that he is stubborn and not flexible enough.

In the past, people liked to praise such people as wise and foolish, but Jiang You thinks that this is just because people have different personalities. They all have good and bad qualities. Flexible people also have advantages and disadvantages. It mainly depends on their own cultivation.

So for Zhuocuo, he would not interfere with anything. He did not say anything to remind him like Rigzin. He enjoyed the benefits brought by his character, but naturally he also had to bear the disadvantages brought by his character. Some things, he did not have the opportunity, others You can't understand the truth even if you talk about it.

Today, Renzin reminded Zhuo Cuo. Zhuo Cuo seemed to understand this matter, but he would still make the same mistake when encountering other things in the future. In fact, he did not understand. How could it be so easy to understand?Only with more hardships and more experiences can we slowly understand those seemingly ordinary truths that people often talk about.

After a few people entered the mountain, they walked as before for three days. During these three days, Zhuo Cuo's great halberd never left his body, constantly practicing his three moves in his mind, and making gestures from time to time.

Finally, on the third day, I thoroughly understood these three tricks, showed them to Jiang You, and got approval.

Just when he was hungry and ready to eat, Jiang You did not share the monster meat with him, but smiled and said to him: "Zhuo Cuo, after practicing for so long, it's time to put it to use. This monster in the mountains is not Young Master, you will be responsible for our food in the future. Now, go to the mountains and kill a monster and come back!"

"Huh? But we didn't see a single monster along the way!"

Renzeng smiled and shook his head slightly after hearing this, "This silly boy didn't even look at who he followed into the mountains. Those monsters were crazy and came here to die?"

"Don't worry, there are some now, and there will be many more! Go now, you are not allowed to come back until you hunt the monsters!"

"Oh!"

Zhuo Cuo nodded, took the euphorbia from his back, and plunged it into the forest.

The two of them were not worried about Zhuo Cuo's departure at all. Jiang You was well aware of the strength of the surrounding monsters and knew that Zhuo Cuo would not be killed immediately before they met. Moreover, his eyes basically covered the mountain forest, and he could kill Zhuo Cuo. There were only thirteen monsters. When he encountered them, he tried his best to block one move. When he waited for the second move, his sword energy was enough, no problem!

And Rigzin is a practitioner of Hinayana Buddhism, and he doesn't care about the lives of his disciples. Life is full of accidents. He does his own thing and takes care of other things by himself. Even he will have accidents and suffer misfortunes. , If you die at any time, how can you care about your disciples?

So the two of them still practiced separately.

Jiang You closed his eyes and practiced for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes with a smile on his lips, "Here we go!"

He looked through the layers of mountain forest and saw Zhuo Cuo wandering around in the forest, and a black panther with a layer of black mist hiding its whereabouts was lying on a tree trunk in front of him.

As he reached the foot of the black panther tree, the black panther suddenly pounced down.

Even if the black panther pounces, it is invisible under the double cover of black mist and night.

Zhuo Cuo felt his heart skip a beat, but he still didn't know where the danger was. He didn't react until the black panther threw him down, exposed his body, and bit his neck.

Zhuo Cuo was caught off guard and was on the verge of life and death. He could no longer dodge at this time. He felt a bit fierce in his heart. Seeing this, he directly stretched out his left hand to touch the black panther's chin, barely able to withstand it. Then the big halberd in his right hand was slapped towards his body.

With one shot, the shot was empty, and the black panther suddenly disappeared from his body, allowing the euphorbia to hit him, causing him to grimace in pain.

Then he quickly stood up, holding the big halberd in front of him, and moved his eyes from side to side, guarding against the next attack.

Jiang You watched Zhuocuo's jerky fighting debut with interest. Whether a person has fighting talent or not can best be seen at this time.

Jiang You found that this kid was a bit stronger than him at the beginning. He didn't panic even though he was nervous, and he was also cruel to him.

After paying a lot of price, he finally found an opportunity and used the three halberd techniques to hit the black panther with a halberd, then stabbed it through the air.

When Zhuo Cuo returned to the campfire with the black panther's body covered in blood, he saw Jiang You and the others already sitting by the fire waiting for him.

"Hurry up, I've been waiting for your barbecue for a long time!"

"Teacher, Master, haven't you eaten?"

"If you eat it, you can't eat it again, hurry up!"

"Oh!" Zhuo Cuo thought that the two of them were hungry, so he quickly peeled the skin and got the meat. As a herdsman, he was very familiar with these things.
