Chapter 8: Educating the Beast
Since four years ago, after the incident of He Shou Wujing's crossing, Er Qing has thought a lot.
Come to think of it, in this great green mountain, there must have been spirits who have crossed the catastrophe in the past, and the birds and beasts living in this big green mountain are probably also heard of.
So, Er Qing had a plan in his heart.
Seeing the noisy and noisy of the birds and beasts, Er Qing suddenly raised his head and roared, and the sound from the open mouth of the blood basin was no longer a sizzling sound, but a trace of the dragon's groan.
When the beasts saw its roar, some of the timid ones could not help but tremble, and those who were bold stood on end, and looked up vigilantly at the creature that suddenly roared.
Although he was surrounded by beasts at this time, if he really wanted to fight, death and injury were inevitable, and no one wanted to be the one who died.
At the end of the roar, Er Qing lowered his head and glanced at the beasts, and said, "I know human characters, and I can teach everyone to read and hyphenation." I also have a copy of the Tao Te Ching, which I can also teach to everyone......"
"We know the words of human beings, but what is the Tao Te Ching?" asked Dahu.
But the white ape said: "I once heard the ancestor say that among human beings, there is a very great man, hundreds of years ago, he wrote a very great scripture, called the Tao Te Ching, and many very amazing Taoist monks read this scripture. ”
Erqing glanced at the white ape and said, "You're right, but it's not all right. I spent several years in the human world, and not only did I learn the human language, but I also memorized this scripture. In the human world, those wandering Taoist priests are just low-level cultivators, and those with high strength among the cultivators will fly to the immortal realm in the future. ”
Erqing said, looking up at the sky, and without waiting for everyone to ask him 'where is the fairy world', he continued: "The fairy world, just above this sky, human cultivators say that the heavens have thirty-six layers, and the great man who wrote the Tao Te Ching lives in the highest heaven, and is respected by human practitioners as the ancestor of Taoism. ”
"You're talking about human cultivators, we're not humans!" the big tiger snorted.
Erqing glanced at him and said, "I once heard human cultivators say that anyone who has a spirit can practice, and whoever has the Nine Apertures can practice faster than others. Not only do you have spirits, but you also have nine apertures, so why can't you practice? Haven't you ever seen the mountain spirit that crossed the tribulation?"
"What is the Crossing Tribulation?" asked the Giant Bear.
"The dark clouds are hanging to the top, the thunder is roaring, the light is shining for thousands of miles, and the sound is shaking for nine nights......"
When the beasts heard this, they couldn't help but tremble, obviously, they were very afraid of the emperor's might.
"What are the benefits of practicing so dangerously, and why do we want to practice?" asked the leopard.
When Erqing heard this, he wondered, didn't they know that there was a demon in the world?
After thinking about it, he snorted and said, "Don't you know that living next to those precious medicines is the most superficial kind of cultivation? I have heard human cultivators say that cultivation can increase longevity and live for hundreds of thousands of years, and the strong can even call for wind and rain and move mountains and seas. Survive the catastrophe, and you can travel thousands of miles in an instant, fly to the sky, and escape the world. At that time, the world is so big, where can we not go?"
Erqing painted a beautiful picture scroll for all the birds and beasts.
"You're also practicing now?" the white ape asked as he looked at Erqing.
Erqing nodded and said: "It's not a secret, I am indeed practicing, but it is not systematic, I only know human words, and the "Tao Te Ching", the meaning of which I don't know much." I thought in a year or two, and then I would leave here and go out into the world to find the way. ”
"Not afraid of being killed?" asked the white ape again.
Er Qing glanced at it and said, "If you don't indiscriminately harm human beings, some of the human cultivators will not easily kill us, and the worst thing is to be arrested and taken to do a job as a caretaker, but this is actually a kind of chance, at least closer to human beings, and there are more opportunities." ”
The tiger, leopard, ape, and bear sat around with four powerful beasts, discussing a few words in a low voice, and then the old ape said to Erqing: "I am willing to learn human writing with you, as well as the Tao Te Ching." After a pause, it added, "You are really willing to teach me to wait!"
Erqing nodded and said: "Naturally, it's true! I took the elixir that you and others guarded, and I had a relationship with you, and this involvement naturally had to be ended first, so that I could practice with peace of mind." ”
After a pause, he said again: "My name is Erqing, I don't know what to call you?"
The beasts, you look at me, I look at you, they all shake their heads, obviously, they don't have names.
Erqing thought about it for a while, and then said, "Why don't I choose a name for the four of you?"
Hearing this, the tiger, leopard, ape, and bear four beasts nodded.
Erqing thought for a while, and said: "Let's start with your big tiger, you are a tiger, and you are the king of the land, so you take 'Lu' as your surname, and a single name is a tiger, called Land Rover, how about it?"
Land Rover tilted his head and thought about it, then nodded happily, "Okay!
Erqing looked at the leopard, pondered, and said: "The leopard is agile and explosive, and it has strong explosive power in an instant, so I wanted to give you 'Jie' as its surname, but in the human world, there doesn't seem to be such a surname, so I took a homonym, with 'Ji' as the surname, and a single name with a leopard character, called Ji Leopard, how about it?"
Ji Bao was also very pleased to hear this, nodded frequently, and felt very majestic, and his waist was a lot straighter.
The old ape looked at Erqing, waiting for Erqing to give him a name, Erqing thought about it, and said: "You are an ape, and among the human surnames, there is also the surname 'Yuan', so you should take 'Yuan' as your surname! There are Buddhism in the human cultivator faction, and its strongest is similar to the Daomen Dao Ancestor, and the Buddhism has four King Kongs, all of which are strong, I think you are as strong as King Kong, why don't you call Yuan King Kong!"
When the old ape heard this, he nodded, but it is estimated that he is older, and with his temperament, he is not as unrestrained as Land Rover and Ji Leopard, but there is a sense of joy in his expression.
In the end, Erqing looked at the bear and said: "Among human beings, there is the surname 'Xiong', you are tall and strong, and your strength is infinite, so I will give you the word 'big', and you will be called Xiong Da in the future, how about it?"
The bear is famous, and people are happy to stand up, roar and scream, and dance the bear dance.
So, Erqing shouted bears and tigers, choked apes and scolded leopards in this green mountains and valleys, and started to educate all birds and beasts.
An old snake coils on a tree, and a tiger, leopard, ape and bear lie in front of it.
Snakes, rats, and clams are divided into two sides, and jackals sit in steak steaks.
The bearded sheep and wild sheep are not crowded enough, and the goshawk fall later.
The fragrant roe deer looked up, and the insects flew and the butterflies danced.
The old snake rolled up its branches and wrote on the ground, and the birds and beasts moved forward.
If the ordinary people see this situation, they will be frightened.
Time flies like flowing water, and flowing water does not know the years, months and days.
The autumn wind is sad and sorrowful, how can all things solve the autumn wind?
Summer goes to autumn and the wind comes, and autumn goes to winter. Animals are stockpiling sorghum, and birds are going around the forest.
Although Erqing is a giant snake, he can't get rid of the biological characteristics of hibernation, and the whole snake becomes more lazy, not wanting to move at all, nesting in the cave sky, waiting for the spring thunder to come.
