Chapter 49 - The Soul of the Mountain
Meng Chen raised his eyes and saw that the monkey, which he had met once on Mount Everest, was in front of him. This monkey was born very similar to humans. It always showed its true face to others and never changed. He saw it suddenly kneeling on the ground.
:
"Little demon Yuan Qi, meet the demon saint!"
Meng Chen felt strange:
"Fellow Taoist Yuan, how did you know that I am a guest here in Heishan?"
The thong-armed ape didn't get up when Meng Chen called him, but he didn't dare to move. He still knelt on the ground and answered:
"Please forgive me, Lord Demon Saint. I will allow the Little Demon Queen to report this matter. The little demon is here today to ask Lord Demon Saint to condescend to come to Moyun Cliff, so that the little demon can show some respect!"
When the black bear heard that the old ape was going to ask the Demon Saint away, he couldn't help but get anxious, but he couldn't blame him in front of the Demon Saint! He could only stare at the ape's red butt fiercely and get sulky!
Meng Chen was also surprised. Among the five demons, he was actually very interested in this simian! Because of the thin mountain peak in this demon's hand, when Meng Chen saw it using the treasure that day, with the demon's powerful body, it actually
It seemed extremely strenuous! Meng Chen was deeply impressed!
Later, due to his soaring cultivation level, Meng Chen was forced to practice the art of Qianzhi Shenfeng, and transformed a mountain into the body of the virtual soul. He used the old ape hill as a model to meditate on and transformed it! Now he is visiting the five demons, the largest one
The reason is that I still want to have a good communication with the bramble monkey and ask for advice!
He had read in Zhuang Zhou's Xiaoyaoyou Heart Sutra that this monkey was one of the four types of monster monkey holy bodies that can "shrink thousands of mountains, grasp the sun and moon, distinguish between good and bad, and caress the universe". It is full of mystery in itself!
After a long time, Meng Chen saw the monkey still kneeling on the ground, and then he remembered that he had forgotten to wake him up, so he woke up Yuan Qi.
The golden eagle was also extremely dissatisfied with the old ape's attempt to invite Lord Demon Saint to his lair alone, but he was much smarter than the black bear and said:
"Old ape, Lord Demon Saint is here. If you have anything to ask or express filial piety, let us open our eyes together. Isn't it right? You asked Lord Demon Saint to make another trip. It's really a little thoughtless and seems very...
It’s disrespectful.”
The old ape glanced at the Golden Eagle and Black Mountain, and said in a deep voice:
"Two fellow Taoists, my old ape's move to welcome the Demon Saint this time is for the sake of the future of our Wahuang Realm. The mystery is not humane! In the future, all fellow Taoists will know that what the old ape said today is true.
!”
The black bear shouted from the side:
"What you say is so nice, but who knows if you are plotting against your own little Jiujiu by inviting Lord Demon Saint to Moyun Cliff?"
Meng Chen listened to several demon clans blaming each other in order to please him. He was secretly amused in his heart, but he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, like an outsider.
Seeing that the two demons were still entangled in the matter, the monkey monkey obviously decided that he wanted to privately please the "demon saint" in front of him, so he said something that made the two demons stunned:
"If the old ape told you that I am proficient in calculations and have something extremely important to discuss with the Demon Saint, you two would definitely say that I was lying! Now I will tell you something that proves that everything I said, old ape, is true. You two will
Months ago, they conspired to join forces with the Yaozi and gather the power of the three demons to harm Suanni! Is this possible?"
The old ape's words made the golden eagle and the black bear instantly stunned! The two demons had indeed conspired to deal with the one-horned Suani one month ago, because it was far more powerful than the three demons including the golden eagle. If they didn't take action now, I'm afraid Suan Ni would be killed in the future.
After gaining strength again, I was suppressed and persecuted!"
But for such a secret matter, the two demons naturally conspired and did not tell anyone about it. Even the kite, the two demons have not told him to know about it. Now the old ape actually knows it clearly! The only explanation is that the old ape
That said, this guy is really proficient in the art of calculation!
When the old ape saw that the two demons believed his words, he solemnly said again:
"Master Demon Saint is a key figure related to the future life and death of our demon clan. I, the old ape, have something important to discuss, so you two don't need to make any guesses."
…
Half a day later, Meng Chen and the three demons walked out of the Black Bear Cave. While the Golden Eagle Black Bear was respectfully seeing him off, Meng Chen set up his arrow boat and soared into the sky, followed closely by the thong-armed ape!
Moyun Cliff really lives up to its name!
A huge mountain range connecting the sky and the sea, towering into the clouds, stands on the bank of the turbulent blue sea.
This is the huge mountain range in the east of the Wahuang Realm. Namoyun Cliff is the highest peak of this mountain range. The top is covered with clouds and fog, and it is extremely steep and difficult for birds to cross!
Along the way, Meng Chen was shrouded in colorful clouds by the ape, and at an alarming speed, he reached the top of Moyun Cliff in a matter of seconds.
The moment the clouds fell, the thong-armed ape suddenly bowed down before Meng Chen again:
"Your Majesty, please accept the little demon's obeisance!"
This sudden move shocked Meng Chen, as if he smelled something unusual!
"Fellow Taoist Yuan Qi, why do you suddenly perform this great gift to me? Please get up quickly!"
The old ape stood up, glanced at Meng Chen, and then a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes:
"Master no longer needs to hide it. The little demon has already known that the master is a human monk. Now he officially asks the master to accept the little demon and follow him forever, riding in front and behind the horse for driving!"
These words made Meng Chen break out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that the identity of the Demon Saint that he thought was infallible had already been seen through by this Hou Demon! If it wanted to harm him, wouldn't it be dangerous?
After forcing himself to calm down, Meng Chen secretly injected a trace of spiritual consciousness into the Hunyuan Golden Dou to prevent any unexpected events!
"Since you know that I am a human monk, why did fellow Taoist Yuan Qi not only fail to kill Meng, but also recognize me as your master?"
The thong-armed ape seemed to have known this question for a long time. As soon as Meng Chen finished speaking, it immediately responded:
"Since the little demon awakened the inherited skill "Six Yao Yao of Heaven and Earth" in his body, he has been practicing for hundreds of years, and he has some ability to judge the past and future with the six innate Yao Yao. That day, my master, you disappeared on Mount Everest, little demon
After the demon returned to the cave, he did not hesitate to use the essence and blood in his body to form the six innate lines and divine a divination. The divination showed that not only the little demon and you, the master, have a relationship of master and servant, but also all the living creatures in the Wa Emperor Realm from now on.
You have to rely on the divine power of your master to get out of the desperate situation and regain your life!"
"The six divine lines of heaven and earth are so miraculous that they can judge the past and the future? Is this what Master Zhuang Zhou said in the sutra - distinguishing between good and evil, and the movement of heaven and earth?"
Meng Chen glanced at the old ape in front of him, feeling doubtful.
"Since you have the power of divine judgment, you should know that I am only a monk in the early stage of Bigu, and you, a majestic demon saint, are comparable to my monks in the Nascent Soul stage. How could you automatically consider someone with a lower level of cultivation than yourself?
Mainly human monks from thousands of miles away?"
"Master, what you said is wrong! Although we and the other five demon kings have the abilities they have today, none of them started out as a small demon beast and went through many hardships before slowly growing into a big demon!
In the past thousand years, I have killed more than a thousand human monks. From the perspective of the little demon, the master not only has that extremely magical butterfly clone, but also has strange magical powers, and can also drive endless wronged souls. All of these are beyond the reach of ordinary monks!
The most important thing is that my gift of the Six Yao Divine Judgment Technique is absolutely unforgettable! So the master has no need to doubt that from today on, the little demon will follow the master without any second intention!"
When Meng Chen saw that the thong-armed ape didn't seem to be a fake, and after careful consideration, he didn't have anything worthy of being deceived by this demon! But he also knew that there was no benefit, and it was impossible for this demon king to recognize his master without any reason, and he was willing to live in this place.
People come down.
But no matter how you look at it, there seems to be no harm in having a cheap demon servant! So Meng Chen didn’t comment and acquiesced to the matter:
"There is one thing, this saint... ah, no, I have to make it clear to fellow Taoist Yuan that I cannot stay in the Wahuang Realm for too long. I will leave the Xuandu Realm in just ten days, and you will not be able to follow me at that time."
The old ape nodded:
"The little demon naturally understands that in the Wahuang Realm, only demons below the third level can break through the barrier and go to the Xuandu Realm. Master, don't worry, the little demon is here, waiting for the master to return to the Wahuang Realm, and break the cage and take me
Waiting for the day when you can travel all over the world!"
Meng Chen stopped dwelling on the matter and asked the question he was most concerned about:
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, I don't know what the magic weapon on the mountain is made of. When I saw you using it to break the formation that day, it seemed to be extremely heavy!"
The old ape glanced at Meng Chen, revealing a strange look:
"Haha, if it weren't for the master asking, I would definitely not tell this secret! This is my innate magical power, the six-yao god of heaven and earth, and the one-style Kushan soul!
Form the peak with the essence of earth mother gold, capture countless mountain souls and blend it into it, then this treasure will be completed!"
"The soul of mountains? Do mountains also have souls?"
This is the first time Meng Chen has heard of such a miraculous thing.
The old ape nodded solemnly:
"Mountains have souls! All things in the world have souls, but many things are secrets that are difficult for ordinary creatures to know, just like the aura of heaven and earth. If ordinary beasts and mortals do not know this treasure, they will only regard it as dust and smoke, and we will
Those who practice Taoism will know that this is an indispensable thing for practitioners!"
Meng Chen nodded in agreement. Many things or objects that we take for granted actually have many secrets that are unknown to others. For example, in the Xuandu world, who would know that the forbidden land they talk about is actually a world where an innate treasure is derived?
Who knew that the Taiqing Continent, where sentient beings have multiplied for countless years, is actually just a captive place, a magic space?
"Then, fellow Taoist, how did you capture the mountain soul into the magic weapon?"
The old ape seemed unable to answer Meng Chen's question for a while. After thinking for a while, the ape suddenly rolled up Meng Chen and flew into the air. A colorful cloud fell under the feet of a man and a demon and galloped into the distance.
After a while, two figures landed in front of a small mountain peak. The old ape said to Meng Chen:
"The master is optimistic, I will use this small mountain as an example to demonstrate to you."
I saw the old monkey pinching out countless seals in his hand, sitting cross-legged on the ground in lotus position, slowly closing his eyes, and a small mountain peak flew up from his body, floating three feet above the old monkey's head.
After a while, Meng Chen clearly saw that a shadow that was the same as an old ape floated out of the body of the monkey, slowly drifted towards the hill in front, and gradually merged into the hill...
After a while of burning incense, the shadow gradually floated out from the hill.
The difference is that now behind the virtual shadow, a hill several feet high is also following behind. The virtual shadow is slowly being pulled by the old ape towards the body of the thong-armed ape.
After a moment, the shadow of the hill became smaller and smaller under the pull, and merged into the small mountain peak above the old ape's head...
Phew, the old ape on the ground opened his eyes and stood up immediately.
"Master has seen that the method of restraining the soul of the mountain requires not only the cultivation skills, but also the most important thing is to be able to listen to the voice of the mountain and feel the rhythm of the mountain, so that it can gradually resonate with the mountain and gain the recognition of the mountain.
After the traces of the soul appear, the secret is applied to capture and pull the mountain soul and integrate it into the magic weapon! This method of listening to the mountain language and investigating the mountain soul is actually the same principle as the human monks' understanding of the Tao, and they reach the same goal through different paths."
Meng Chen has been quietly watching the old ape perform the art of capturing the soul of the mountain, even the smallest details are not missed!
This method of restraining the mountain soul is really important to him!
Not only did Feng Xi's "mountain-carrying" magical power need to be borrowed from the method of holding the soul of the mountain, but also his newly cultivated sacred peak Qianjie, Meng Chen also got great inspiration from the method of holding the soul of the mountain by the ape monkey...
"Ah, fellow Taoist Yuan, I have a heartfelt request. I wonder if this magical power of the secret method of "Gushan Soul" can be passed on to poor Taoists?"
Chapter completed!
