Volume 1 Chapter 15 Five Spirits Blessed Land
Chapter 15 The Land of Five Spirits ()
Zhang Pa laughed secretly. No wonder the little snake pointed in this direction. It turned out that it knew the location of the lair of the spiritual ginseng. He patted the snake's body and taught it like an adult: "Little snake, but you are so smart."
The white-haired old man looked at the man and the snake and felt something was wrong. He asked: "Did the snake recognize its master?"
Zhang Pa didn't understand: "What does master recognition mean? Did it recognize me as its master?"
"Master recognition is a blood-drip ceremony to control monsters. Draw a talisman array, recite the spell, and then drip blood on the monster. The monster absorbs the blood and recognizes the master successfully. After recognizing the master, the monster only recognizes you as its master and obeys you completely. It will not devour its master."
"Is it so complicated? I don't know how to do it."
"Then why are they willing to listen to your orders?" The old man asked curiously.
"I don't know."
The old man thought about it and said, "Do you want to recognize the master with blood from Fushe? I know this spell."
Zhang Pa shook his head: "No, isn't it better to let them be free?"
The old man looked past him and looked at the basket behind him: "Those three puppies are ordinary domestic pets, they are restricted by someone and can't grow up for life. I don't understand why you are carrying three burdens? Your cultivation is not high."
"What? There is a restriction? No wonder they haven't grown up for several years. Can you remove it?" Zhang Pa is very concerned about the three little guys.
The old man smiled: "What's the difficulty? It's just that after the restriction is removed, they will grow up and will not be so cute. Do you really want to remove the restriction?"
Zhang Pa nodded: "Cuteness cannot be the price of not being able to grow up. Please cast a spell."
The old man smiled and looked at Zhang Pa, and flicked his fingers three times. In an instant, the three puppies were shaken, their eyes were confused, and they seemed a little uncomfortable with the current situation. After a while, they slowly returned to normal. The old man said, "Okay, can you tell me why you brought them with you?"
Zhang Pa told them about how they were the only ones to accompany him when he was alone, and the old man nodded, "I wrongly blamed you before, don't blame me, fellow Daoist."
Zhang Pa was a little embarrassed: "If you want to blame, I should apologize, I killed all your monsters."
The old man looked at the giant pig and said lightly, "His cultivation is equivalent to the initial stage of human Jindan period, but he can't withstand the attack of Fushe."
"Jindan period? What's the realm of my uncle? That pig is so powerful? Please forgive me, senior." Thinking of the ferocious appearance of the big pig, Zhang Pa was a little scared. If Fushe hadn't been there, he would have died a thousand times.
The old man waved his hand and said, "Why blame me? I have many monsters with such cultivation, all of which are at the initial stage of Jindan." He turned his head and looked back at the puppy: "It's you, whose cultivation is not high. If you run around with them, their lives may be in danger. It's better to abandon them as soon as possible."
Zhang Pa shook his head and said stubbornly: "Absolutely not. They are good to me, so I have to be good to them too!"
The old man smiled. At this time, he completely believed that Zhang Pa had no ill intentions. He let down his guard against him and praised him: "You are a good boy with affection and righteousness. Tell me how you came to the boundless grassland."
"What? This is the boundless grassland? Not Tianlei Mountain? Where is Tianlei Mountain?" Zhang Pa asked hurriedly.
"Tianlei Mountain? It's not too far. If you fly, you will arrive in ten days or half a month."
Zhang Pa was very depressed. It seemed that the way back would be more difficult. He told the old man about his journey in detail with a bitter face. The old man laughed and asked him: "You haven't seen a woman?" Zhang Pa argued: "I have seen one in Daoxian Town!"
"Yeah, I have, hehe." The old man laughed for a while, pointed to the pig demon corpse and asked Zhang Pa: "What do you think it looks like?"
"What does it look like? Isn't it just a bigger pig?"
The old man nodded: "Yes, he was originally an ordinary domestic pig."
"Ordinary domestic pig? Cultivated to the Jindan stage? Much better than me." Hearing such a thing, Zhang Pa would be surprised.
The old man said again: "Do you remember the secret about my age that I just mentioned?" Zhang Pa nodded.
"The ordinary domestic pig can cultivate to become a Jindan master and it is also related to that secret." The old man said slowly.
"What secret?" Zhang Pa was full of curiosity.
The old man looked at Zhang Pa cautiously: "This secret is a bit against the will of heaven. Can you swear to keep it secret forever?"
Zhang Pa tilted his head and thought for a while, then refused: "Thank you for your trust, senior. Since this secret is so important, I'd better not know it. It would be bad for you if it is leaked out."
Now it was the old man's turn to be surprised. There are cultivators who give up the secret method of rapid cultivation just for a secret that has nothing to do with them? However, the young man would only benefit from not exploring the secret, so he was relieved and laughed: "What a good boy. In this case, I won't force you. I will give you a few bottles of pills later to help you cultivate."
Zhang Pa thanked him again and again.
The old man thought for a moment and warned: "Your Fu Snake is too young and has not recognized its master. If it is discovered by a high-level Yuanying cultivator, not only will the young snake be caught, but you will also die. Don't let them out casually in the future."
Zhang Pa realized the seriousness of the matter and said respectfully: "I will follow the teachings of the senior."
The old man stood up and said: "Wait here for a while, I will be back soon." As soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, and he stood facing the west. An idea flashed through his mind, and he didn't have time to think about it. He made a prompt decision, waved his robe sleeves, collected the giant pig's body, and covered Zhang Pa and the three puppies, and disappeared from the grassland in an instant.
After an incense stick, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky above the place where Zhang Pa and the old man had just talked, and disappeared in the distance in a moment. Not long after, the lightning flew back and stopped in the sky above the boundless grassland. The light dissipated and a human figure appeared. It was a tall bald man, frowning and thinking: "Strange, the spiritual energy is gone, could it be a high-level monster passing by?" Since he didn't find it, the bald man chanted the spell and rushed east again.
Zhang Pa was in a daze at this time. He was shocked by too many things in a day, and what was in front of him was even more shocking. Zhang Pa was completely stunned. Just now, the old man cast a spell to cover him, and then used the ground walking technique to sink dozens of miles quickly. When his eyes were black, suddenly his eyes lit up and a huge garden appeared. There were countless exotic flowers and plants in the garden, as well as several clear springs and streams. Occasionally, there were huge monsters idling in the grassland, all in the shape of cows, horses, sheep and pigs.
If it was just like this, it would be fine. The most peculiar thing was that the spiritual energy in the garden was so strong that Zhang Pa couldn't wait to practice.
Arriving at the garden, the old man was no longer nervous, his expression returned to normal, and he smiled and talked to Zhang Pa: "Man proposes, God disposes. Originally, you didn't have to come here, but since you have entered the garden, I will no longer hide it and let you go."
Zhang Pa followed the old man into a pavilion and listened to his detailed explanation of the origin of this place.
The old man has been practicing underground for at least 700,000 years. Although it is difficult to improve his cultivation, his spiritual consciousness and soul are extremely powerful. Just now on the ground, the old man wanted to go down to the ground to get the elixir, but suddenly he noticed that a high-level master of the Nascent Soul Stage was flying over here. The old man was no match for the Nascent Soul master, and he didn't dare to take the risk of leaving Zhang Pa alone there. If he was discovered by the master and learned about his information, given the cruel experience of the master's hundreds of years of practice, he would definitely not be as kind as Zhang Pa and let him go. As a last resort, he had to take Zhang Pa into the underground garden to avoid the Nascent Soul master.
The underground garden is an extremely huge barrier with various strange formations and prohibitions, which seal all spiritual energy and prevent it from leaking out. Under the garden is the place where the five spirits gather for blessings. After being closed by the barrier, all the spiritual energy fills the garden.
This closed space was set up by a peerless genius ten thousand years ago. It is said that his cultivation level is surprisingly high. No one knows what level he has cultivated to, but he is said to be invincible. This master likes to stroll around when he has nothing to do. He accidentally discovered the place where the five spirits gather for blessings here, so he used his magical powers to create this garden dozens of miles underground.
What's more amazing is that I don't know where he learned the magic, but he used the five spirits blessed land to create a cave against the sky.
As the old saying goes, one day in heaven is one year on earth, and the cave against the sky has this effect. This god actually created another cave underground, so that one day on earth is one year in the cave. Because it is too against the sky, after the cave was built, tens of thousands of miles of boundless grasslands were devoid of spiritual energy, and no crops except weeds could grow.
