Chapter 197 Conditions for inheriting the Immortal Thief of Liuku

"I think the 'impotence' you mentioned can be solved with the help of the Liuku Immortal Thief...but what about the bigger trouble later? Tang Muzhi, how are you going to solve it?"

Ruan Feng frankly told the major flaw of the Liuku Immortal Thief, which was that people would have the desire to eat people due to the advanced energy intake. Ding Shian thought of something else.

"Except for the Immortal Thief Liuku...do the other Eight Magic Skills also have such flaws?"

Ruan Feng frowned and replied that he didn't know.

Ding Zhangan then asked: "Then before you created the Liuku Immortal Thief, didn't you consider this so-called 'flaw'?"

Ruan Feng didn't speak again.

"Flaws, I don't think so." Tang Muzhi said solemnly: "From the changes in senior Ruan Feng's strength before and after he cannibalizes people, we can tell that maybe the Liuku Immortal Thief can only cultivate to great success by cannibalizing people, right?"

Ruan Feng clenched his fists, feeling the abundant power in his body at all times, "Young man Tang is indeed right. The Immortal Thief of Liuku itself has no flaws, it is the concept of the successor that constrains it - the issue of cultivation, I It can only be said that the flesh and blood of a foreigner is better than my many years of penance."

"Well, the problem of the Immortal Thieves of Liuku is a human problem, and the problem of human beings is a problem of the heart. Senior Ruan Feng and I have the same concept. We don't want Ye Kexin to become a cannibal." Tang Mu said: "Liuku The fairy thief will turn cannibalism into an innate instinctive desire, so Senior Ruan Feng chose to hide in the aura of the snowy mountains, stay away from the crowd and restrain his desires - this is already a determination and state that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. This method is indeed effective, at least From 50 to now, this is how you have spent most of your life for more than [-] years. If it hadn't been for this accident, do you think there would be a day when you couldn't stand being alone and left the mountain?"

"...Yes." Ruan Feng said dejectedly: "I have to face endless loneliness every day. If I weren't the most precious person in life, others would have been tired of it. The strong energy gave rise to countless colorful ideas in my mind. , when you and I were empathizing before, you also discovered that my static skills are very bad, right?"

Tang Muzhi thought for a moment and said truthfully: "It's the qualifications - that is, the level of a Qi practitioner who usually has more distracting thoughts."

Ruan Feng leaned back on the wooden chair and said mockingly: "Haha, that's it. Speaking of what you two boys thought when you first met me, I know very well: This is the virtue of 36 thieves? Right?"

"Whether you believe it or not, when we were sworn brothers, any one of us would be a prominent figure in various sects, including Tianshi Mansion, Shuzi Sect, Liangshan, Tang Sect... and Quan Xing. The actions of these people were audacious. , but it’s not an exaggeration to say that they themselves are like dragons and phoenixes among men, right? As far as refining Qi is concerned, am I the kind of mediocre person who is impetuous and mediocre when I am friends with them? "

"I have never joined any sect in my life, nor have I ever worshiped a master. Whether it is De Qi or the Kung Fu of Saint Thieving, I learned it by myself from reading books when I was a child. Is there anyone around you who can do it?"

Ding Shian swallowed subconsciously. He had seen people who were self-taught by practicing external martial arts, but this was the first time he had heard of someone who could gain energy by reading a book.

"So, what you are saying is that after you stay away from the crowd, your meditation practice gradually decreases as time goes by, right?" Tang Muzhi asked.

"This is obvious - of course, it has something to do with what happened to me back then, and I was hit hard." Ruan Feng grinned.

"But where does this go? I still have many more days to live, decades? Centuries? Who can say what will happen in the meantime? The time I have spent trying my best to restrain my desires is only It's just a beginning. I'm like this myself, so I don't want to use it to test others - you know, people are the least able to stand the test."

Ding Zhangan couldn't help but said: "Then after you..."

Ruan Feng said in a deep voice: "This has nothing to do with you. Virtue is not worthy of it. I have my own pitiful persistence, but now the first line of defense has collapsed. One day I will be defeated by reality and surrender. It's perfectly normal. It's just that I'm not tired of living now, so I won't show up easily in the country, and I won't reveal information about you two little guys, so don't worry."

Ruan Feng said to Tang Muzhi again: "You are the purest person I have ever seen. It might be more appropriate for you to inherit the Immortal Thief of Liuku. But I can see that since the cannibalism brought by the Immortal Thief of Liuku Desire can't affect you, so I'm afraid you won't think too much about the moral issue of whether or not to eat people. As long as you think about it, you can naturally ignore both ends - if there are people with a slightly lower level than you, who can restrain themselves from cannibalism. Desires are constrained by morality and they will never take that step. Such people are the most ideal successors in my expectation."

Ruan Feng had a look of regret on his face. Who can confirm these things? The realm of static gong and the bottom line of morality are two extremely vague things.

The state of Jinggong is easy to say. Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, and Taoist predecessors have pointed out many characteristics of the corresponding state. But the question of whether to eat people or not is beyond that level. Who can say for sure.

Barron was the one who passed Ruan Feng's test in terms of morality. He was delighted to see his kind and couldn't bear to lose his unique skills, so Ruan Feng passed on the Liuku Immortal Thief to him.

Tang Muzhi thought for a long time, and finally stretched out his hand: "My method of empathy has always been vague, but according to my experience, it seems to be helpful for others to practice meditation. Ye Kexin is from my Tang Sect, and I am I also live together for a long time..."

"Oh?" Ding Zhangan looked at Tang Muzhi curiously, and then said solemnly: "Although this is not appropriate for me to say as a friend, my generation of practitioners is very taboo about indulgence. You are not yet an adult, so don't indulge in it too much. …”

"Stop, stop, stop... where are you thinking?" Tang Muzhi quickly interrupted this guy's conversation, and then said a little funny: "Old Ding, you are 25 and [-] years old, aren't you still a boy?"

Ding Ji'an curled his lips in disdain and said nothing.

Tang Muzhi was a little unsure about this attitude of neither getting better nor getting better.

After withdrawing from the gossip, Tang Muzhi returned to the topic.

"So I say that the problem of Liuku Immortal Thieves is a human problem. No, two problems have slowly surfaced. One is whether it can resist the physical and psychological consequences of practicing Liuku Immortal Thieves. The first problem is the moral bottom line of this person. Senior Ruan Feng, if you believe in the efficacy of my empathy, then only moral issues remain."

Ruan Feng obviously hesitated. He bit his lip and fell into thinking.

Tang Muzhi's empathy is indeed special.

In fact, this so-called empathy generally means being able to understand the inner emotions and thoughts of others, and then getting to know that person better; with more advanced skills, you can use micro-movements and words to connect yourself with similar emotions of others, and slowly connect different emotions. Feed back the same thing to the other party.These techniques, not to mention Qi practitioners, even ordinary people can master them in depth after learning and training.

Of course, the functions shown by Qi practitioners are more complicated. For example, those who practice the orthodox Four Zen and Eight Ding Gong can easily master the five supernatural powers when they reach the state of the Four Zen. The effect of empathy is much better than that of ordinary people.

But Tang Muzhi's empathy is similar in principle to these, but the effect he used is much more powerful. The most basic of them is to make the two people have the same state of mind. A flood-like attitude impacts the heart of the person being empathized with, and that person quickly becomes purified.Although Ruan Feng has lived for so many years, this is the first time he has seen such an outrageous situation.

"You're right in summarizing it. Is it about empathy? I'm not sure, and it's impossible for me to do experiments on myself and live as a team with you. The moral bottom line depends on the individual. Do you want to take Ye Kexin to the snowy mountains? Hungry her and then let me test her?"

Tang Muzhi became solemn, stood up, and said: "If you are really serious about passing down the Immortal Thief of Liuku, then it is to give Kexin a chance to live. No matter how complicated the steps are, it doesn't matter? As long as you don't mind the trouble, I will arrange it right away. She goes to the snowy mountain!”

"Wait a minute! Tang Muzhi, have you forgotten something? Can you make such a hasty decision on this matter? If she fails to pass the test and goes through such a torment, can she still survive?" Ding Shian put aside his worries Speak up.

Ruan Feng also intervened at the right time, and he said with full malice: "Yes, Tang Muzhi, who are you Ye Kexin? It is a good thing to be willing to help, but is this kind of behavior really justified? If you let this girl in her life In the last period of time, I realized that I was a person who could eat his own kind in order to survive..."

Tang Muzhi stretched out his hand to interrupt the conversation between the two, and he smiled: "I can't guarantee the outcome of this kind of thing, but I believe that at least she will not regret whatever decision she makes... Compared to this, Senior Ruan Feng Are you hesitating whether it is fair for a terminally ill patient whose mental state is different from ordinary people to participate in this test?"

"Humph, don't you regret it..." Ruan Feng shook his head, "When it comes to the real frontier of life and death, the mental states of generally terminally ill patients and ordinary people are similar. This is not a problem."

"It all depends on how you arrange it. If possible, I also hope that someone who is truly worthy of the Immortal Thief of Liuku will inherit it - especially my fellow countryman."

Ruan Feng paused and said, "By the way, there's no need to go to the snowy mountains. I don't plan to go back either."

Tang Muzhi and Ding Zhangan looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know whether this was good or bad.

Ding Jian'an was given an excuse by Tang Muzhi to stay with Ruan Feng, and then returned to Chuangpinggou at the foot of Siguniang Mountain alone.

After Tang Muzhi left, Ruan Feng stayed alone in the house. He remembered the whole story of this incident.

I stayed in the snowy mountains before, although I was confused and half-dead, but at least the most fundamental line of defense of "cannibalism" was still struggling to be broken. Now it's better. When people like Tang Muzhi come, they will sooner or later put this matter to bed. The situation to come was placed before him in advance.

Originally, Ruan Feng would be the most desperate when this incident happened, but after experiencing Tang Muzhi's "quietness", he felt overwhelmed and thought a lot. He only knew that running away would be useless.

Just go on like this, live or die, continue to exercise restraint or surrender... you have to face it.

He always talks about whether he is not tired of living, but in fact, he is always the one who is not tired of living.

……

On the other side, Feng Baobao and Xu Xiang who came down the mountain were still in Luoche City.

Previously, Xu Xiang was shocked by the information about a series of events involving Ruan Feng and Tang Muzhi. Xu Xiang simply had no time to think about other things. Now Feng Baobao was frightened by Tang Muzhi and firmly believed that as long as he waited sixteen or seventeen years, Her mysterious life experience will reveal itself.

Xu Xiang still doubted the authenticity of this matter, but now he was extremely grateful to Tang Muzhi. At least for the rest of the time, Feng Baobao was still his Ah Wu, and he was still Feng Baobao's gouwazi.Feng Baobao will not embarrass him like this time again.

He could still live with Feng Baobao. When he thought about the fact that he would still have Ah Wu with him for most of the rest of his life, he finally recovered a little from the fatigue at work and the physical and mental trauma caused by this rash action.

Xu Xiang is aware of his physical condition. He is a half-way monk in practicing Qi. Although he gained Qi with the help of Feng Baobao when he was very young, his physical quality is still incomparable with those who practice Qi to maintain their wealth.

He was over 50 when he joined WTO. Although older people are less likely to be overworked, there are many men in history who have only reached the rising stage of their careers at this age.He thought that he, like those people, could have the energy to do his job well and at the same time take good care of Feng Baobao perfectly.

The temporary worker plan was proposed by Xu Xiang, who was the beneficiary and also the victim.He felt relieved that Feng Baobao could do simple work. Whenever he encountered a dangerous task, he would have to do it by himself. He was responsible for all the work of a regional leader and temporary worker. He felt that his health was obviously not as good as before in the past two years. .

However, things that need to be dealt with still need to be dealt with. Who is the target of this group of people who suddenly appeared on Kangchenjunga at an untimely time?A ragged Indian woman survived. She appeared with the Touba people, but she was not a stranger.Under the care of Xu Xiang and Feng Baobao, the woman came to Luosou alive. Xu Xiang found a translator, and following the clues provided by the woman, he finally found out the origins of Duiba's group... The only thing he cared about was, This is the person who knew Chi Lie.

"Damn it, that's it..."

Xu Xiang, who found out everything, tried with all his strength to crush the Pisces Jade Pendant, but he soon gave up on this thankless task.

In line with the principle of preferring to kill by mistake, and with a little caution, he took out his savings and secretly entrusted the matter to the Tang Sect.

Although Xu Xiang didn't quite believe what Tang Muzhi said, no matter how powerful Tang Muzhi was, could he predict the future?But considering that Tang Muzhi has not yet shown any ill will towards him and Feng Baobao, and coupled with the great strength Tang Muzhi has shown in this battle, he already knows that Tang Muzhi and even the entire Tang sect cannot be offended, so he should at least explain this matter to others in another way. Clearly, it shows a bit of compromise and honesty.
