Mistress Su Gu sighed slightly. Perhaps she was too disappointed, but she didn't say a word!
On the contrary, Eldest Senior Brother Song Daren grabbed Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder and roared like a strict father," Little Junior Brother, difficulties are like springs. If you are strong, he will be weak. If you are weak, he will be strong!" Master's wife had also said that there was no threshold that could not be crossed in this world, and there was no difficulty that could not be overcome! It doesn't matter even if you lose all your cultivation! But you have to know that everyone on Big Bamboo Peak is your family! Family! If anyone wants to bully you, I, Song Daren, will be the first to disagree!”
Song Daren's angry roar seemed to be scolding Zhang Xiaofan on the surface, but it was actually touching! It was the feeling of being touched by his "family"!
Fourth Senior Brother He Dazhi was indeed a scholar. Seeing this, he immediately continued,"He Zhi, Eldest Senior Brother, didn't agree?" I, He Dazhi, and all my senior brothers will never agree! Because everyone in our Big Bamboo Peak is your family!”
Family?
Do I still have relatives?
That's right! Fourth Brother was right! Even though my family had already 'left' in that 'traumatic'…Eldest Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, Master's wife, and the other Senior Brothers were like my' family'! There was also Sixth Senior Brother, Master, and Senior Sister Ling 'er who had come down the mountain…
However, could they only be family? Senior Sister Ling 'er…
" I understand!" Zhang Xiaofan was moved by what he saw, and he felt warm inside. He said seriously as if he was making a vow." Senior Brothers, I understand!" Master's wife and senior brothers, please rest assured. I, Zhang Xiaofan, will definitely work harder to regain my lost cultivation!”
Master Mistress Su Gu was quite moved by Zhang Xiaofan's words. However, when she thought about Zhang Xiaofan's talent, she felt that it was really not flattering for him to spend three whole years on the first level of the Jade Pure Realm! However, Su Gu, as the master's wife, should at least give her disciple some encouragement and support! Heh, maybe it was just a little bit of spiritual support, but it was enough!
" Lil Fan, I'm very glad that you're so considerate. I'm sure your master will be very happy if he finds out about this!" Su Gu smiled kindly. Xiaofan, work hard!"
Zhang Xiaofan nodded. Then, Mrs. Su Gu turned to He Dazhi and said," Fourth Brother, Xiaofan needs to rest for the next few days." You will still be in charge of the kitchen!”
He Dazhi stood up and said,"Yes, Master's wife!"”
Su Gu nodded and was about to leave when Zhang Xiaofan stepped forward and said," Masteress, I'm fine. The kitchen is my responsibility. How could I trouble Fourth Senior Brother?"”
Perhaps Mrs. Su remembered Zhang Xiaofan's food, so she nodded and agreed." That's good too. It's a good idea to relax." But Xiaofan, don't force yourself, understand?”
Zhang Xiaofan clasped his hands together and said respectfully,"I understand!"”
Madam Su Gu nodded in relief. She glanced at Song Daren and the others as if she was " teaching them a lesson." She pointed at them one by one. When she pointed at Song Daren, her eyes were a little strange, as if she was " playing " with them. She said," And you 'senior brothers' should help Lil Fan more, understand?"”
On the other hand, the Senior Brothers led by Song Daren smiled strangely and sighed in their hearts as if they were "disappointed" and thought to themselves,"I'm afraid I won't have the chance to" have fun "with my Little Junior Brother in the future!" On the other hand, Song Daren was more glad that Master's wife must have known that I often 'sparred' with Junior Brother and 'gave him pointers.' In the future, I'm afraid that I won't be able to have my " fun " with my junior brother…But when I think about how Master's wife didn't " punish " me, all the senior brothers should be laughing secretly! "I'll follow your instructions!" Shan Shan smiled.”
Then, Mistress Su Gu nagged for a while before leaving! Meanwhile, Eldest Brother and the others were chatting and laughing as they " reserved " tonight's dishes. Of course, Zhang Xiaofan smiled and agreed to all of his senior brothers 'requests. On the contrary, Fourth Senior Brother He Dazhi said before he left,"You can ask him if you have any doubts about cultivation." The reason why he used " also " was because Zhang Xiaofan would usually ask Eldest Senior Brother Song Daren. Zhang Xiaofan naturally accepted Fourth Brother's kindness. As for when he needed it, he would tell her!
Zhang Xiaofan only realized that his " Inferior Monkey Pet " was missing after Mistress Su Gu mentioned Little Grey. He asked his senior brothers about it, but they found nothing! Xiao Hui must be angry, but Xiao Hui…should be back!
Why did he use an uncertain tone?
Zhang Xiaofan sat on the ground with his head covered in dust. He looked at the banner on the wall above the room, which had the word " Dao " on it. He was rather absent-minded and thought,
The jealousy he felt for the unreachable beauty in his heart, the Xiao Hui who had accompanied him through countless "sad" years…
Regret?
Perhaps it was! " I'm sorry!" Zhang Xiaofan laughed self-deprecatingly and said in a low voice," Senior Sister has never taken my efforts seriously!" In Shixiong's eyes, I'll always be a 'dumbo.' Especially after that Qi guy came, Senior Sister never looked me in the eye…"
Zhang Xiaofan sighed and sat down cross-legged. He began to recite the incantation of the first level of the Jade Pure Realm of the Taiji Mystic Dao. Zhang Xiaofan was a man of his word. Since he had promised to cultivate his cultivation back, he would do it no matter how hard he tried! Even if it was another four years, or even ten years…Zhang Xiaofan did as he was told and started cultivating the Taiji Mystic Pure Dao.
The first level of the Jade Clarity Realm was the most basic cultivation method in the Taiji Mystic Pure Dao. Qi Refinement. The cultivator would meditate quietly and let go of all the worries in his mind. He would draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body and circulate it in a large cycle. He would use this to breathe with heaven and earth and then comprehend the creation of heaven and earth. If one could draw in spiritual energy and circulate it 36 times in a row, then one's meridians would be stable and one could cultivate to a higher realm.
This kind of cultivation method was a method that Taoism had practiced for thousands of years. Without a mistake, it was the complete opposite of the Buddhist cultivation method. On the night before the tragedy in Caomiao Village, when Puzhi taught him the chant, he clearly told him that when cultivating and refining Qi, he must cut off all connections with the outside world and realize his own nature. Therefore, there is no color in the air, no thought, no consciousness, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, no color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch the dharma, no vision, even no realm of consciousness, no ignorance, no end of ignorance, even no death, no end of death, no pain, no collection and destruction of Tao, no wisdom and no gain.
Buddhism and Daoism had never interacted since ancient times. The concept of cultivation was also different. The two cultivation methods were completely opposite, which was why Zhang Xiaofan had spent three years to cultivate the first level of the Pure Jade State of the Taiji Mystic Dao, which was something that an ordinary person could cultivate for three months. Of course, Zhang Xiaofan, who had only " read " part of the Ghost Calendar's memory, didn't know that. He continued to " foolishly " repeat the same mistake.
Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaofan was already a " master " of Jade Pure Realm Level Two! Unexpectedly, he woke up from a " ridiculous " dream and " wasted " his four years of hard work. He " had to " start all over again. But what was the truth? Zhang Xiaofan didn't know!
However, this ridiculous dream was not useless to Zhang Xiaofan! It made Yu Mu understand one thing-as a person, one had to see themselves clearly and have self-awareness!
Birds knew their own limits, so they didn't think about Soaring into the Deep Sea! Fish had self-awareness, so they didn't want to fly in the blue sky! People knew their own limits, so they wouldn't do the impossible. Of course, there were some " idiots " who overestimated themselves. In the end, they only harmed others and themselves!
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes couldn't help but flash with a hint of green. It was Biyao, the demonic witch who had fallen in love with him in his dream! Then, Zhang Xiaofan crushed that unrealistic fantasy! How could I, Zhang Xiaofan, win the heart of such a woman! Moreover, she was the daughter of the Sect Master of the Ghost King Sect, one of the four great sects of the Demonic Sect! Although she was a member of the Demon Cult, her status was so noble that she was like a princess! Why would he like a poor kid from the countryside? Thinking about it, it could only be realized in a dream…
After about four hours, Zhang Xiaofan sighed and shook his head. Although he could feel more and more Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy than before, what was the use of drawing it into his body to circulate? However, he had no idea that it was his "heart" that was causing trouble!
Zhang Xiaofan spoke up and looked at the setting sun outside the window. He smiled bitterly,"It's time to go cook…I wonder where Xiao Hui is now?"
"Squeak squeak squeak…"
" Xiao Hui!" Zhang Xiaofan was delighted when he heard a " familiar " voice.”However, the Inferior Monkey was quite vengeful. As expected, Zhang Xiaofan was greeted with a strange stick from Xiao Hui!
Perhaps it was because Zhang Xiaofan had been unconscious for three days and hadn't exercised much, but he felt exceptionally energetic today, and his body's reaction speed was surprisingly fast! He actually caught the bat that the Inferior Monkey threw at him…
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked. He had actually accepted it! Then he remembered that he had to face Eldest Brother's " fist and leg guidance " every time he came back from cutting bamboo in the past few years, and his reaction ability had also quietly improved without him realizing it.
Zhang Xiaofan thought about how his eldest senior brother was still lecturing him even though he was being beaten up. Just as Eldest Senior Brother said,'As long as you have the determination, you can grind an iron rod into a needle.' Although my cultivation was completely lost, my reaction speed would not disappear because of this. Everything Eldest Senior Brother did was for my own good!
If Song Daren knew that his junior brother was thinking this way, he would definitely blush with guilt. Although he had sparred with Zhang Xiaofan for the sake of his junior brother, he had done it more to satisfy his craving!
Tian Buyi, the head of the Qingyun Sect's Big Bamboo Peak, was also the master of Zhang Xiaofan and the others. He was lazy by nature. Although he wanted to save face, he was always too lazy to teach his disciples. Usually, he would only teach them Daoist techniques and then ignore them, allowing the disciples to cultivate on their own. When it came to Zhang Xiaofan, he directly asked his eldest disciple, Song Daren, to " do it " for him.
However, his wife, Su Ru, was a strong-willed person who liked to fight. When she was young, she had a great reputation and was extremely glorious. After she married Tian Buyi, her temper had been greatly restrained. However, her hands were often itchy, and her disciples were not very competent. The Qingyun Sect held the "Seven Lineages Martial Competition" as usual every sixty years. After several consecutive rounds, the disciples of the Great Bamboo Peak lost every time. Other than Eldest Senior Brother Song Daren who occasionally won a round, the others ended up completely defeated, becoming the laughing stock of the Qingyun Sect.
Su Ru had always been competitive, how could she tolerate this? She would often help her husband Tian Buyi 'teach' these disciples. Although her appearance was gentle and beautiful, she had a rather impatient personality. Her cultivation was extremely high. If she was not careful, she would beat these disciples until they covered their heads and fled like rats, covered in injuries. As the eldest senior brother, Song Daren was the one with the highest cultivation among all the disciples (other than Tian Ling 'er). Naturally, he would be the first to bear the brunt…
As time passed, people would feel bad luck, and "guiding" his junior brother in "martial arts" became a kind of "reverse discharge" for Song Daren. As time passed, it became a " habit ". That was why every time Zhang Xiaofan came back from cutting bamboo, the first person he met was his Eldest Senior Brother Song Daren, who came to " spar " and " guide " him!
As the saying went, there would be losses if there were gains, and there would be gains if there were losses. Zhang Xiaofan's " hard work " wasn't all " following the dream "...
Speaking of which, Zhang Xiaofan knew that Xiao Hui was back, and he also knew that Xiao Hui was still angry at him. As long as Senior Sister said that she would return the favor, if he didn't return the favor, wouldn't it be too "letting down" Eldest Brother's "teachings" for many days?
Zhang Xiaofan's mouth cracked open. He tossed the club in his right hand and clenched it tightly. He was about to return the favor when he caught a glimpse of the object in his hand. He was stunned and stood rooted to the ground. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he muttered,"
"Soul…Devourer?"
Outside the window, Xiao Hui waited for a long time but did not see its master return the stick as a "return gift". It crept up the window sill to take a look, only to see its master rummaging around as if he was looking for something "important"…
Under Xiao Hui's puzzled and confused gaze, he finally found an extremely ugly "fire stick" in an inconspicuous corner…
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the two sticks, and his heart was filled with shock and joy.
The ugly "fire rod" in his left hand was the current Soul Devourer!
And the strange "stick" in his right hand was the future left behind by his future "Ghost Calendar"-Soul Devourer!
The two Soul Devourers told Zhang Xiaofan that everything that had happened was not just a dream!
However, Zhang Xiaofan 'seemed' to be 'happy' a little too early. He had observed it for a long time, but there was no 'effect.' Could it be that this strange stick left behind by his future 'ghost calendar' was just to prove that everything was real and had no practical use? He was still him, the good-for-nothing Zhang Xiaofan!
Although the Ghost Calendar didn't give Zhang Xiaofan a complete set of memories, it helped him understand many things. Some things that he couldn't understand in the past were gradually coming to his mind. Because of this, Zhang Xiaofan felt even more stupid!
In fact, why would his future "Ghost Calendar" do this? Zhang Xiaofan really couldn't understand. If he was his future self, the Ghost Calendar would definitely replace him instead of…
Had the Ghost Calendar really disappeared?
Perhaps it was!
Otherwise, why didn't he replace these useless 'idiots',' good-for-notes','dummy', and' dummy'?
Then, why didn't the Ghost Calendar pass on the part of the memory that could allow me to advance by leaps and bounds?
Zhang Xiaofan recalled the request of the Ghost Calendar before it disappeared.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaofan raised his right hand, which was holding the strange stick, and said solemnly," I, Zhang Xiaofan, swear to the heavens that I will find the other five Tomes of Arcane in my lifetime. Otherwise, I will die without a burial place!"”
Cultivators seized the fortune of heaven and earth, but they were also bound by heaven and earth. This was especially true for cultivators. Their oaths were remembered by the Heavenly Dao. If they violated it, they would lose their cultivation completely and would never be able to cultivate again. If it was serious, he would be struck by lightning and die without a burial place. Sigh, in short, the outcome was very miserable. He would die a horrible death. Therefore, the oaths of cultivators, especially cultivators, were quite trustworthy!
As soon as Zhang Xiaofan finished his oath, the strange stick in his right hand suddenly changed! Then, it split into two rays of dark light. A blood-red light left his right hand like a boiling blood flow and went into the "fire rod" in his left hand. The other beam of dark purple light was like a seed of darkness that climbed up his right arm. It went into Zhang Xiaofan's forehead as he was shocked and Xiao Hui screamed. An inexplicable coldness spread out from between his eyebrows and covered Zhang Xiaofan's entire body. What Zhang Xiaofan didn't know was that his fate had been decided by all of this!
By the time Zhang Xiaofan came back to his senses, the Soul Devourer in his right hand had already disappeared without a trace, while the Fire Stick in his left hand had become so ferocious for some reason. The flickering blood light seemed to be telling Zhang Xiaofan to drink blood!
After reciting a few Buddhist scriptures, his calm heart was overturned by a familiar voice. Die without a burial place? This oath was really vicious. However, I like it. Zhang Xiaofan, I was right about you! There were two things that cultivators valued most. One was talent. If you didn't have good talent, you wouldn't be able to succeed on the path of cultivation unless you had a fortuitous encounter. However, it would be difficult for you to reach the peak just by fortuitous encounters. This required comprehension! Not only did cultivators have to have talent, but their comprehension was also a major factor in determining whether they could reach the peak. You, if you want to achieve something, you must be ruthless to yourself!”
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned. He looked around and found Xiao Hui, who was scratching his head by the window." Didn't you disappear?" he shouted. How could this be? Also, what did you do to me just now?”
