Chapter 127: Unsettled and distracted
The Blood Bodhi Tree had been holding back its ultimate move for a long time, but it was crushed by the golden giant ape.
Li Xiuchang only felt that the giant ape was majestic and extraordinary. He swallowed his saliva and asked, "Is this giant ape your spiritual beast?"
Senior Brother Gui shook his head, and the words on the ground showed: [No, the ape is me, and I am the ape. ]
Is Senior Brother Gui a monkey spirit?
Li Xiuchang took a look and didn't think so. Moreover, if it was a monkey spirit, shouldn't Senior Brother Gui himself transform into a giant ape?
Senior Brother Gui raised his hand and took the giant ape back into his body. He smiled and explained in words: [This is my own secret method, which is based on the Buddhist mind method. ]
[When I entered Buddhism, the Zen master taught me to practice Buddhism, but I couldn't get started. So he said that I was 'unsettled and my mind was running wild', and asked me to subdue the ape in my heart and tie up the horse in my heart, so that I could understand the true meaning of Buddhism.
After years of trying, I found that my mind monkey was fierce and my will horse was hard to tame. I couldn't beat the mind monkey at all, nor could I catch up with the will horse. It was futile to keep trying. I was not a pedantic person, so I thought, since I couldn't beat it, why not cooperate?
After that, I did the opposite, feeding the mind monkey, fattening the will horse, gradually taming them, and making them work for me. 】
Can it be like this?
"What happened later?" Li Xiuchang asked curiously.
【Later, the Zen master found that the method I practiced was contrary to what he taught, and said that I had gone astray and wanted to expel me from Buddhism. I refused to accept it and wanted to compete with the Zen master to prove that my Buddhist teachings were more profound than his.
I summoned the mind monkey and punched the Zen master so hard that he vomited blood. The Zen master said that I had entered the devil's way and forcibly expelled me.
I thought that Buddhism could not accommodate me, so I went to Taoism and turned to cultivating immortality. Later, I found that the hexagram technique was very compatible with my "Mind and Mind" technique, so I devoted myself to studying the hexagram technique and used it to feed the mind and mind, with excellent results. 】
Li Xiuchang found that Brother Gui was somewhat similar to himself.
The mind and mind refer to the restless heart.
The mind and mind refer to the uncontrollable mind.
The Buddhist mind method says that we should subdue the mind and mind, which should originally mean to gather the chaotic thoughts and thoughts, suppress our own desires and restlessness, that is, to calm down and return to peace.
But Brother Gui turned the Buddhist mind cultivation method into a summoning technique.
This made Li Xiuchang feel that heroes admired each other. It turned out that he was not the only one who could practice splits with his skills and spells!
But how to use the hexagram technique to feed the mind and mind?
Li Xiuchang vaguely grasped something...
What is the reason for Brother Gui's restless heart and uncontrollable mind?
A lustful ghost, his heart is hard to calm down, that must be because of lust.
And what Brother Gui can't eliminate and control, isn't it his curiosity and desire to share?
No wonder Brother Gui said he is the ape, the ape is him.
Because the ape is the restless desire in his heart.
So as long as he satisfies his curiosity and desire to share, he can continue to grow his mind!
So it seems that Brother Gui always calculates things that he shouldn't calculate when practicing divination, and frequently leaks the secrets of heaven. It's not just for the sake of death, but also for the purpose of cultivating his own summoned beast.
"Brother's secret method is really interesting, unrestrained and informal." Li Xiuchang praised sincerely.
He was praising sincerely, not flattering.
Unsettled mind and restless thoughts are Brother Gui's shortcomings and obstacles on his path of practice, but he turned his shortcomings into strengths and walked out of his own way.
[If you are interested, I can teach you. ] Brother Gui wrote with a smile.
"Can I learn it too?" Li Xiuchang said in surprise.
Generally speaking, even the practitioner himself does not know how to practice this kind of splits, and he cannot teach others.
For example, his charcoal attribute magic power and the second dantian, he can't teach others.
[You can try it. I separated it from the Buddhist mind method, integrated it into my own understanding, and improved it into a secret method that anyone can practice. It's just that the strength of the heart and mind summoned by each person varies, depending on their own conditions.
I once practiced with Chen Changsheng, but he was too boring, his heart was like dead water without any fluctuations, and the heart and mind summoned by him couldn't even beat a house cat. ]
It seems that the strength of this secret method depends on whether the inner thoughts are restless and the desires are strong.
Only people like Brother Gui who can't suppress their desires can summon particularly strong heart and mind.
Li Xiuchang feels that he is quite stable and belongs to the kind of person who can calm down. I'm afraid that he can't summon any strong heart and mind.
But the temptation to summon the golden-haired ape king is too great, and he won't give up until he tries it.
Not to mention, in addition to the monkey, he can also summon the will horse.
Although Senior Brother Gui did not demonstrate, Li Xiuchang guessed that the will horse should not be weak.
Li Xiuchang is not only afraid that the monkey he summoned is too weak, but also afraid that he will practice splits with this secret method again.
Who knows what he can do with this good summoning technique?
Senior Brother Gui took out a jade slip and gave it to Li Xiuchang.
After Li Xiuchang read it with his spiritual consciousness, he obtained a secret method called "Monkey and Will Fighting Buddhist Scripture".
"Senior Brother Gui really holds a grudge... It is obviously not related to the Buddhist mind method. It is obviously a summoning technique, but it is named "Fighting Buddhist Scripture". Is it fighting with Buddhism in this life?" Li Xiuchang complained in his heart.
Li Xiuchang kept the secret method in mind and prepared to practice it after returning to Xianchen Sect.
So far, although his trip has many twists and turns, the result has been very satisfactory.
Not only did he get the information he needed, but he also got some unexpected gains.
Now it's time to leave Xianyin.
In fact, Li Xiuchang still had some questions in his mind, such as what exactly is Xianyin? Why is it formed?
But he was worried that asking nonsense might really kill Senior Brother Gui.
Senior Brother Gui waved his hand, indicating that he was not in a hurry to leave. The text on the ground showed: [Although this blood bodhi tree is not going to be removed, it can't just let it go after being attacked by it for nothing. You have to compensate for it. ]
After that, he walked straight to the blood bodhi tree.
Since the blood bodhi tree had brewed a big move and the blood-colored Buddha it condensed was crushed by the golden-haired giant ape summoned by Senior Brother Gui, there was no movement for a long time.
It seemed that it was completely scared and subdued.
As Senior Brother Gui approached, the trunk trembled, the branches and leaves rustled, and the leaves curled up.
After integrating the eighteen ghosts, the tree can be regarded as having some intelligence.
Although the eighteen ghosts have all turned into evil spirits, causing them to be extremely fierce, they still understand the most basic fear.
Senior Brother Gui motioned Li Xiuchang to come over and let him act as an interpreter and repeat the words on the ground.
Li Xiuchang read the words on the ground: "Hand over the blood bodhi fruit and I will spare your life, otherwise I will chop you up and burn you as firewood!"
A moment later, the ground bulged, and a thick blood-colored rhizome broke out of the ground, with a red fruit hanging on it.
The fruit was as transparent as jade and looked very tempting.
The words on the ground changed again, and Li Xiuchang continued to read: "Just one? I think you are tired of living!"
Where did Senior Brother Gui learn this villain line?
I saw the ground bulge twice again, and two more rhizomes and two blood bodhi fruits emerged.
"That's more like it!" After Li Xiuchang finished reading, Senior Brother Gui had already picked three bodhi fruits.
[This blood bodhi fruit is for you, as compensation for its attack on you. 】
Senior Brother Gui handed a blood bodhi fruit to Li Xiuchang.
"Brother, is this fruit made of human blood?" Li Xiuchang looked at the red fruit in his hand with some disdain.
[This blood bodhi fruit grows by absorbing a large amount of Buddhist blood, but in the end, its essence is still the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I see that you have practiced the Buddhist body refining method. This blood bodhi can help you complete the blood refining step faster when you are in the third level of body refining. ]
Li Xiuchang saw this and carefully put the blood bodhi into the jade box.
You should have said it earlier if it was useful!
For him, having a blood bodhi is equivalent to having countless blood bodhi.
This blood bodhi can actually help with blood refining, it seems that the third level of body refining is also stable.
It can save a lot of length!
[Xianyin is not a place to stay for a long time, I will send you out. ]
A ray of light flew out of Brother Gui's body and turned into a snow-white horse, which looked extremely majestic.
Li Xiuchang knew that this must be the "willful horse", but the size of the willful horse is far less than that of the heart ape, but it is much larger than an ordinary horse, equivalent to a skinny version of an elephant.
Li Xiuchang and Senior Brother Gui got on the horse together. The four hooves of the willful horse stepped on the air, and the speed increased instantly.
It turned into a white light in the air.
Li Xiuchang sat on the horse steadily, but felt very stable, without any bumps.
"This speed is much faster than my flying boat in escape mode!" Li Xiuchang exclaimed in his heart.
With this speed, the willful horse can kill any flying boat in seconds. Even if it has no combat power, it is very practical.
It is simply a must-have for chasing and escaping!
"I hope I can also summon the heart monkey and the willful horse normally." Li Xiuchang prayed secretly.
If he can summon the heart monkey and the willful horse normally, he would be willing to become an immortal on the spot!
The direction chosen by Senior Brother Gui is the same as the direction taken by Li Xiuchang and others. It seems that the fate before was not blind.
According to Senior Brother Gui's flying speed, it will only take a moment to fly out of the fairy shade.
But halfway through the flight, Senior Brother Gui suddenly reined in his horse.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiuchang was puzzled, thinking that there was another danger.
Senior Brother Gui controlled the Yima to land on the ground, and Li Xiuchang saw a person lying on the ground.
Li Xiuchang thought it was another zombie or something, but it didn't look like that after a closer look.
It was alive, but just unconscious, and he was dressed cleanly and had a short haircut, unlike the zombies with long hair.
This was a strong and sturdy middle-aged man. Li Xiuchang noticed that there were dried blood stains on his seven orifices.
And his cultivation was so high that he couldn't see through it.
Li Xiuchang looked around and suspected that there was some danger nearby, such as a zombie attacking the man.
If it was a monster, the man would most likely not have a complete body, only a zombie, and it might leave after knocking the man unconscious.
But the dust on the ground gathered and condensed into a line of words: [He was knocked unconscious by you. 】
