Volume 1 Chapter 10 Zhang Is Afraid to Go Down the Mountain
Chapter 10 Zhang Pa goes down the mountain ()
Zhang Pa's face turned pale. This is too abnormal. Who has researched it? However, the things in the brain have been tossed like this, it is hard not to be strong. Zhang Pa smiled bitterly. Since he has chosen it, he will stick to it. Even if he goes crazy in pain, it is better than living in humiliation.
He began to practice the Refining Spirit Song.
The previous method of stabilizing the mind is easy to say. After all, he has practiced the Jingxin Jue, so there are some similarities. It is not difficult to practice. The difficult part is to solidify the soul.
Normally, the solidification of the soul requires the cultivation of the Jindan stage. Solidify the soul into a pill, practice the great success, and enter the Jindan stage. But the Refining Spirit Song obviously exceeds the cultivation level and forces it.
Zhang Pa didn't care and practiced completely according to the jade slip. But how can the soul be solidified so easily? After more than a month, there was no progress. But the thunder in the sky made him very uncomfortable.
Occasionally, he was dazed when he saw the playful puppies, and the little black, white, and yellow were called one by one and ran around. But the three puppies were having fun, and they ignored him except for looking for food, which made Zhang Pa so angry that he called them white-eyed dogs. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. Why not go down the mountain for a walk?
As a disciple of Ziguang Pavilion, you can go down the mountain freely as long as you ask for leave. Zhang Pa has lived for 16 years, and his understanding of the world is just Tianlei Mountain. Occasionally, he heard his senior brothers talk about the excitement outside the mountain, which always aroused his infinite reverie. Now he finally has the opportunity to go out and take a look.
Asking Hongyuan for leave, Hongyuan said lightly: "It's good to go out for a walk. Ziguang Pavilion disciples are supposed to enter the world to experience, but I advise you to be tolerant in everything after entering the world, don't act rashly, and don't trust people easily..."
Senior Brother Hongyuan gave many instructions, but Zhang Pa was not annoyed at all. This was the first time in his life that someone was willing to say so many words to him and to advise and educate him. Zhang Pa thanked his senior brother very sincerely. Seeing Zhang Pa's sincere expression, Senior Brother Hongyuan suddenly felt that he was not as annoying as before, and laughed at himself in his heart: "Alas, you still like to have preconceived ideas even after you have established your foundation." He took out a flying sword from the storage bag and stuffed it into Zhang Pa's pocket: "You don't have a magic weapon yet? Take this to save your life." Zhang Pa was shocked: "This won't work, no, thank you Senior Brother..."
Hongyuan didn't say anything, but stood still and watched Zhang Pa's flustered look. Zhang Pa wanted to return the sword, but the air in front of Hongyuan was so thick that he couldn't get through. He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, so Hongyuan smiled. He said, "Take it. A disciple of Ziguang Pavilion of Tianlei Mountain goes down the mountain without a magic weapon. Isn't it a disgrace to the reputation of Tianlei Mountain? Besides, this sword is a magic weapon used in my Qi Refining Period. Now that I have successfully established my foundation, I can no longer use it. When you have a magic weapon, just return it to me."
Zhang Pa hurriedly thanked him. Hongyuan then taught him the magic formula of controlling the flying sword, and finally reminded him, "Be careful on the way and come back early."
Zhang Pa originally planned to go down the mountain to fulfill his wish, but he didn't expect that Brother Hongyuan turned it into a mountain experience, and he also got a flying sword. He was surprised and happy.
The next day, he got up, went to the cafeteria to eat a full meal, asked for some dry food, and then took the three stupid dogs down the mountain. It's strange to say that these dogs have been on the mountain for two years, but they just can't grow up. They have always been round and stupid. Zhang Pa didn't know that the dogs were restricted by his brother when they were first brought up the mountain, and they could not grow up unless the restriction was broken. Unfortunately, Zhang Pa's current cultivation level is too low, and he can't feel the existence of the ban at all, let alone break it.
The sun lazily strolled in the sky, and a few white clouds occasionally covered the sunlight and then quickly moved away. At the foot of Tianlei Mountain, four figures, one big and three small, swayed down the mountain road.
The breeze blew lightly, blowing the hair and brushing across the cheek, making Zhang Pa feel very comfortable. For the first time, he felt that the world was so beautiful. The three puppies had been depressed in the Ziguang Pavilion hut for almost two months. This time, of course, they had to have fun and ran back and forth in front of and behind Zhang Pa.
There is a town ten miles below Tianlei Mountain, called Daoxian Town, which has more than a dozen villages under its jurisdiction. Zhang Pa's first stop was Daoxian Town. He didn't know the way, but the only road in Tianlei Mountain led directly to the town, and it was difficult not to go there.
The town was very prosperous, which was Zhang Pa's first impression after entering the town. Although there were more than 10,000 Taoist priests in Tianlei Mountain, they were too widely distributed, and they were usually busy practicing, so there were not many opportunities to meet. So Zhang Pa was very interested in everything in the town. What he was most interested in was seeing a woman.
Zhang Pa hadn't seen a woman since he was two years old. He was shocked by a woman across the street when he entered the town ten meters away. She looked to be in her twenties, of average appearance, and dressed simply. Zhang Pa thought she was very pretty, so he stared at her. The woman was thin-skinned and felt uncomfortable being looked at. She cursed "slut" and walked away angrily.
Zhang Pa didn't know why she was angry, but he thought she was pretty anyway, and this trip was not in vain.
Senior brother said that if you are tired, there are hotels and inns to rest, and there are also restaurants to eat and drink tea. If you are lucky, you will hear some rumors from people in the world. Zhang Pa looked for inns and restaurants. He had only walked two steps when the woman came back with her people, and seven or eight strong men followed her with sticks.
When the woman saw Zhang Pa, she shouted: "It's him, a slutty and rogue Taoist priest!" The strong men behind her rushed up with weapons.
Zhang Pa was timid to begin with, and when he saw many people coming with sticks, his first reaction was to cast the Ice Barrier to protect his body. A white light covered Zhang Pa tightly. Zhang Pa was still not afraid enough, so he recited the formula, and the white light flashed and then the yellow light appeared, followed by a green air surrounding him, and then he cast the two protective spells of Earth Armor and Wood Spirit Body Protection.
The strong men on the opposite side were horrified when they saw the strange phenomena. Someone shouted, "It's a fairy." They knelt down and begged for mercy, "Fairy, spare my life." The others reacted, threw away their sticks, and followed suit. For a while, the words "Fairy, spare my life" were heard all the time.
Zhang Pa frowned when he heard it. What's the matter? Why do you want my life? He wanted to explain, but the strong men were even more scared, so he had to use the wind magic and quickly escaped from the town. After running far away, he remembered that there were three puppies, so he hurried back to grab the three little guys and ran away again.
The strong men and the onlookers saw that the fairy had left, and they breathed a sigh of relief before standing up, but they immediately saw that the fairy came back and grabbed three dogs and ran away, so they thought that the fairy liked to eat dog meat.
If he didn't go to Daoxian Town, Zhang Pa really didn't know where he could go. Just go down the mountain and go without a direction? Forget it, just go through the mountain.
The Tianlei Mountains are in the north of Yue State, running east-west. Daoxian Town is on the east side of the main peak of Tianlei Mountain. Zhang Pa passed through the mountain and headed due north, but he returned to the Tianlei Mountain Range.
After climbing over a slope, there was a dense forest to the north. Zhang Pa stood in front of the forest and hesitated to move forward. What if there was a monster in the forest? The three puppies didn't care about that. They ran away and looked back at Zhang Pa, asking him why he didn't keep up.
Zhang Pa was so angry that he didn't believe that he was not as good as a puppy. He went to fight! He resolutely walked into the woods.
There was still some sunlight on the edge of the forest. As he walked deeper into the forest, the tall branches and leaves were dense and blocked the sun, and it was a bit cold. Zhang Pa followed the three puppies, walking in the forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Although the forest was large, it was silent, with only the sound of one person and three dogs stepping on fallen leaves. After walking for a while, the three puppies finally felt scared and returned to Zhang Pa and walked close to him. Zhang Pa laughed at them: "Are you scared? Haha." He completely forgot that he was also scared.
As they walked further and further, the forest seemed to have no end. Zhang Pa added a protective shield to himself, the three puppies were probably tired and began to drag behind, refusing to move forward. Zhang Pa simply picked them up and stuffed them into his arms. He didn't dare put them in the beast-controlling bag, which was for monsters. He didn't know if the puppies would survive if they were put in. Fortunately, the Taoist robe was wide, and the three puppies squeezed their heads in the opening, blinking their little eyes and looking out.
Zhang Pa had to be extremely cautious, holding Brother Hongyuan's magic sword tightly, and walked step by step into the depths of the forest. I don't know how long I walked, and I don't know how far I walked. The forest became darker and darker, so dark that I couldn't see my hand in front of me. Zhang Pa guessed that it was dark, and he kept blaming himself in his heart. Why did he show off when there was nothing to do? This forest seemed to have no end. Who knows when he can get out?
There is an old saying that the more you fear things, the more trouble you will get. At this time, all kinds of bird calls and animal roars began to be heard in the originally silent forest. Zhang Pa kept repeating in his heart, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid," and added another layer of ice barrier to himself. As soon as the second layer of shield was applied, he suddenly felt a vibration, as if something had bitten his head. He reached out and touched it, and sure enough, there was a lot of fishy saliva. He quickly wiped it off, and suddenly his butt was bitten again. Zhang Pa finally realized that a beast had bitten him. He screamed in fear and wanted to run, but his legs were already too scared to move.
Zhang Pa complained about his own cowardice and prayed for a miracle. Suddenly, he remembered that the beast couldn't bite him! His courage gradually grew back. He looked around and saw a huge black cheetah on the right side of his body. It tilted its head to look at Zhang Pa, probably wondering why this guy couldn't bite it?
The black panther was taller than him. Fortunately, it was an ordinary beast, not a demon beast. Zhang Pa calmed down and began to slowly look at the black panther. The three puppies in his arms had long been scared and shrank into their clothes, trembling.
After watching for a long time, he felt that the black panther was not much different from the three puppies in his arms. They all had four legs and one head, but they looked a little more fierce. Zhang Pa bravely walked over, but the black panther was frightened and retreated cautiously. Zhang Pa smiled foolishly: "Hehe, you are afraid too." When the black panther retreated, he stepped forward and finally forced the black panther into a corner. It pounced and bit Zhang Pa's shoulder again.
It was a completely instinctive reaction. Zhang Pa was shocked. The black panther was too fast, and he couldn't dodge it? Fortunately, it was just fast and couldn't bite through the protective shield. Zhang Pa looked at the black panther and laughed: "Bite, bite." He stretched out his hand for it to bite.
The black panther obviously couldn't understand why it couldn't bite him. It tilted its head to look at Zhang Pa, and finally decided to give up. Its figure flashed and disappeared from his sight, running into the depths of the forest. Zhang Pa just got addicted to playing, shouting "Don't run, don't run", chasing the black panther.
