Chapter 42: Same Fate, Same Encounter, Different Body
Regarding the Tao Miao, the turn of fate, and the transformation of heaven, the old man did not say anything specifically, and it was impossible for Yisha Qifei's realm to understand the mysteries. But then the old man made it clear about Sha Qifei's cultivation and the situation of the Thunderbolt Sword Technique, if Sha Qifei wanted to continue to improve, then the Thunderbolt Sword Technique had already become an obstacle.
Most of the loose cultivators in the cultivation world practice low-grade methods such as the Thunderbolt Sword Technique, which are characterized by the importance of technique over Taoism and practicality, and even sometimes make the authentic monks of Taoism and Buddhism feel that their practice is upside down, and instead of seeking liberation, they are bound to the body and mind, becoming a burden to the form and spirit. Therefore, the cultivation of the Dharma formulas cultivated by these casual cultivators has reached the level of perfection, and at most they have reached the realm of knowing the mind. Of course, this is not to say that all the casual practices stop here, but there are also many great formulas in the casual practice, and there are great practitioners who look up to the heavens and the earth and feel the feelings, create their own methods, and practice to reach all kinds of high and wonderful realms of liberation.
After the old man explained clearly, Sha Qifei asked, "Then senior, you deliberately found me, did you want to take me as an apprentice?"
The old man shook his head and said, "We don't have a master-apprentice relationship, first of all, your qualifications are not suitable for the old man's practice, not to mention, even if your qualifications are enough, the old man can't pass on the magic he has cultivated to you, so don't ask more about it, this is not something that the old man can decide!"
Sha Qifei was immediately disappointed, and said, "Since you don't want to accept me as a disciple, then what are you doing when you find me?"
The old man suddenly lost his respect when he heard his tone, and said with a smile: "I'll tell you the truth, in the eyes of the old man." Your qualifications, understanding, and heart are all beyond you, and I don't know how many people are better than you. But since the old man is not here for the disciples, of course these are not problems, what the old man values is your life!"
"Fate?" Sha Qifei was taken aback: "Could it be that you have already reached the realm of knowing fate, and is there anything special about my fate?" Sha Qifei was startled, he had heard a lot in the cultivation world, and in the cultivation realm, the one who could talk about the word fate was the master above the fate. He thought that the old man was only afraid that he was a master who knew the realm, but he thought that he knew the fate realm, if he knew that the realm was a master. The monk who knew the fate realm belonged to the grandmaster level. A great master of cultivation said to himself that his destiny was special. How can Sha Qifei not be excited, eager to know what is extraordinary!
The old man sighed and shook his head: "The old man doesn't know either?"
"I don't know? How could you not know, aren't you a master of knowing fate? Didn't you find me because of my special fate? Now why do you say you don't know? Old-timer. You're not trying to tease me! You know that. All the elixirs I collected have been exchanged for wine for you to drink, and there is really nothing left!" Sha Qifei said eagerly, thinking that this old man must be joking with himself again.
The old man glanced up slightly. He glared at the beads of his eyes and said, "I don't know, I don't know! What's so strange about this, if I had known, why did the old man sleep on this dogkenn-like haystack for a month, drinking your urine-like wine?"
Sha Qifei has been in the loose cultivation for a long time, and he has no habit of suffering, so he immediately said: "Urine, senior, have you ever drunk urine before, otherwise how do you know that this wine is urine?" Then spread it out to the cultivation world, and let a great master of the fateful realm drink urine, how majestic it should be.
The old man snorted, he didn't know what Sha Qifei was thinking, and said with a cold smile: "Yes, the taste is very good, if you want to drink it, the old man is very generous, I can let you taste the old man's urine!"
When Sha Qifei heard this, he was startled, if this old man forced himself to drink urine, then he would definitely not be able to hide, only to hit the stone in shame and die, and hurriedly said: "Senior, I'm joking with you, why should I be so serious?
The old man didn't bother to bother with this kid, and said, "Of course there is a reason, because I see that your kid is destined to die seven times!"
Sha Qifei thought that he could hear something wonderful, but he didn't expect it to be like this, and he was even more disappointed at the moment, and sat down on the grass next to the old man with a blanket of indifference, with grass in his mouth, and said: "How can you die seven times?
The old man looked at Sha Qifei a little strangely and said, "You don't seem to be afraid of death?"
Sha Qifei smiled: "Old man, what you said is right, I really don't know how to write the word death! How can our loose cultivation life compare to those disciples of the big sects, how many scattered cultivators die every day? What is so strange about death, casual cultivation is crawling out of the pile of dead people! Besides, if a person does not die, he cultivates once, no matter how high his cultivation is, in the end, it is not a death. Immortality, those who have ascended to immortality and nirvana to become a Buddha, Lao Tzu has never seen any of them!"
The old man didn't get angry when he heard Sha Qifei call him the old man directly, Jian Sha Qifei had such an attitude, and said with a smile: "When you were just born in the world, because you had no father, your mother was ridiculed by the villagers coldly, and even her life was threatened. In the end, your mother had no choice but to put you in a wooden basin and float away in the river, saving your life from the hands of the villagers. You floated along the river in a wooden basin for three days and three nights, and then you were rescued by a monk who was walking on earth and brought back to the cultivation world, which was your first death. ”
Sha Qifei was stupid when he heard it, it was the first time he heard someone mention his origin, he opened his mouth wide and didn't even notice the grass falling, his face was full of surprise, he looked at the old man for a while before he reacted, and waved his hand and said: "Old man, I only have one cheap life, nothing worth deceiving you!"
The old man laughed, as if the wine had fully woken up, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of red light, highlighting his big red rosacea nose even more vividly. I only heard him say: "What you said is right, you have nothing to deceive me except for your cheap life, so the old man is not lying to you at all! Your second death was on your master's back, at that time your master couldn't find anything to feed you, you were cold and hungry, and relied on your master to give you the vitality to survive, and barely survived." This is your second death!"
Sha Qifei didn't know if what the old man said was true, because he was unconscious at that time, and the thunderbolt sword technique he had cultivated and the magic technique of the primordial spirit reincarnation, so he couldn't know what he had experienced in his childhood. But at this time, he stopped talking, and his expression showed that he had believed what the old man said, as the old man said, he was useless, and it was not worth deceiving at all!
The old man then said: "Compared with the next few deaths, the first two are not too dangerous. When it came to the third death tribulation, hehe, it was when you were seven years old, and you hadn't started practicing yet, and at that time, your master took you to walk in the cultivation world, and you were naughty yourself, and you ran away to play in the woods while you were resting, but you were bitten by a poisonous snake and almost poisoned to death, but fortunately you were saved by a passing monk!"
When Sha Qifei heard this, he couldn't help but say, "How did you know these things? I still don't know the name of that monk. Since he said so, he was naturally an adult, and what the old man said was the truth.
The old man didn't answer him, and continued: "There is only the fourth death robbery, the old man doesn't need to say it, you should also know!"
Sha Qifei felt a pain in his heart, clenched the thunderbolt sword in his hand tightly, his eyes wandered over the sword, and said: "It's the Golden Eagle Demon, it turned out that this was my death robbery, but I didn't expect it to be the master who suffered the robbery for me." If I had known that this was the case, I should not have run away in the first place, so that my master would have survived!"
The old man said: "If you think so, then your master will save you in vain!"
Sha Qifei was taken aback: "Senior, what do you mean by that?"
The old man said: "It's not interesting, the old man began to see that you dared to use the old man's snoring thunder to temper your heart sword, and felt that you still have some ambition, but now that I see you say such things, I agree very much, it is better for you to die at the beginning! Your master taught a disciple like you, and you should die!"
Sha Qifei was furious and shouted: "Old man, what are you talking about?" pulled out the thunderbolt sword in his hand, and slashed at the old man without saying a word, although he knew that there was a great master in front of him, but the other party insulted his master, so what else to say, there was only one thought in Sha Qifei's heart, that is, to slash the past with a sword.
The thunderbolt sword came out, and when Sha Qifei held the hilt of the sword, the heart sword suddenly moved, and an incomparably sharp sword qi gushed out directly, heading straight at the old man. This is Sha Qifei's heart sword that has been repeatedly tempered for a month, compared to before, today's heart sword is just like the new edge that has just been sharpened!
The two were less than a zhang apart, and the sword intent rushed straight to the old man's face in an instant, but the old man sat still, his chest was for a while, but he had a wine burp, and suddenly the sword intent was shattered, and Sha Qifei's chest was like a hammer, and the whole person didn't go out and fell to the ground. The realm is too far apart, although Sha Qifei's heart sword is powerful, it is not the old man's enemy.
After Sha Qifei landed, he struggled to get up, and wanted to rush up again, but he heard the old man sneer and say: "The spell has been tempered to a subtle level, but people are still a stubborn and stupid thing, and they have a fart!"
When Sha Qifei heard this, he vaguely understood and did not move for a while. The old man stood up from the haystack, suddenly showing his majesty, and exclaimed, "Do you want to die for your master? Do you know how easy it is to die?"
Sha Qifei was drunk by these two sentences, trembled, and listened to the old man continue: "People don't need to seek death, they will naturally die." But why do cultivators practice, do you understand the principle of surviving while dying? According to what you said, do you want to die a hundred times at a time? Hey, did your master die for you, did he let you live such a virtuous life? Your master died for you, he sought life while dying. What is it if you want to die on your master's behalf now? You don't even understand why your master let you live, are you worthy of being his disciple!"
The last sentence was drunk, and the entire cave buzzed with the sound of gold and stone echoing, Sha Qifei's heart was shocked, tears came out of his eyes, he knelt down on his knees, and cried on the ground. (To be continued......)
