Is this scripture... really serious?

When Zhou Zheng closed this article, question marks after questions floated in his mind.

Did our Lao Li learn to practice by reading this kind of book? No wonder he always behaves mysteriously and mysteriously. The first impression on people is a bit ordinary, but the more he reads, the more he seems to be hiding something.

The roots are actually here!

There are three chapters in "Bai Shou Tai Bai Jing" (Bai Shou Tai Bai Jing). There are many comments in them that Zhou Zheng completely disagrees with.

For example:

'The heroes of the three realms, the gods, ghosts, immortals and demons, are in the chess game, and they are manipulated by the chess player. It is rare for them to be free, and they are limited to this place. Although we monks have no intention of fighting or harming others, we should have a comprehensive way to protect ourselves.

.'

This sentence seems right at first glance, but when you think about it carefully...

There are many dangers that young monks need to face. How can they protect themselves comprehensively?

Unless you are the kind of peerless genius who has been hiding in the mountains and practicing for hundreds of years without encountering any inner demons or bottlenecks, you will never be able to reach the state described in this scripture.

Of course, Zhou Zheng also thinks many of the views in this scripture are quite good.

For example, the nine-sentence summary of the scripture.

"The third general outline of the scripture: selfish desires are the root of disaster. First, you can take care of your life, and then you can cultivate your character."

This verse is intended to persuade people to reduce their own desires. If they are not greedy, they can avoid many disasters. They should first settle down and make a living, and then cultivate themselves to bring peace to the family and the world.

‘Summary of the Scripture No. 6: To avoid natural disasters, there are changes; to avoid man-made disasters, there are many difficulties.’

Zhou Zheng remembered that the monkey learned the seventy-two changes in Journey to the West, originally to avoid three disasters. The first half of this verse is not difficult to understand, but the last two sentences...

Is it more difficult to avoid man-made disasters than natural disasters?

In addition to the general outline of the Nine Bureaus, this "Bai Shou Tai Bai Jing" also gives a division of 'realms'.

Xiao Wen: Think carefully before acting;

Moderate stability: No one in the world knows my name;

Da Wen: The three souls cannot enter the heaven and earth.

Zhou Zheng made his own assessment. Living in the world of mortals, most of the time he can't help himself. With his character and the situation he is currently in, he can only achieve a small degree of stability at best.

But Shisi is a bit too exaggerated.

The greatest value of this text lies in the wonderful magic technique recorded at the end - "The Divine Realm Turtle Breathing Technique". It is just a few hundred words long, but it is a supreme magic technique, which seems to coincide with the meaning of transcendence.

.

This technique has only one function, which is to hide one's own realm.

Zhou Zheng memorized the formula, felt something in his heart, and decided to experiment later.

Something seems not quite right.

Zhou Zheng flipped through the scriptures and found one of the sentences "If the realm is ten, hide eight and reveal two. When questioned, reveal four and protect six".

Did that guy Li Zhiyong tell me that he was at the second level of the Return to Ruins realm, or the realm after hiding?

Ah this!

Zhou Zheng was about to go find Li Zhiyong to find out what was going on when he suddenly felt something in his heart and turned to the last page of this scripture, which was the last few sentences of "The Art of Turtle Breathing in the Divine Realm".

The words of the scriptures are actually changing!

Zhou Zheng instantly stood up and grasped the round shield, frowning and staring at the somewhat evil scripture. He saw that the handwriting separated the radicals and reorganized them into four lines of verse:

This world is not my world, and this teacher is not that teacher.

The road ahead is rugged and dangerous, but my little friends are more steady.

There is also a smiley face charm at the back!

Before Zhou Zheng could figure out what these four lines of characters meant, a cluster of pale white flames suddenly emerged from the middle of the book, and then quickly swept through the entire book.

Before Zhou Zheng had time to react, the handwritten scripture had disappeared, leaving not even ashes behind!

Zhou Zheng winked hard, carefully looked closer, and found that there was no mark on the desk in his bedroom.

what happened?

Isn’t it a bit too supernatural to have no ashes!?

Gulu!

Zhou Zheng's Adam's apple trembled up and down, turned around and rushed out of the room, heading straight to the basement!

"Zhiyong, your scripture is a bit weird, isn't it? How come the ashes are all burned!"

Zhou Zheng's voice stopped suddenly, and Li Zhiyong was seen changing into a tuxedo, looking at Zhou Zheng with a smile, and raising his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

"Monitor, would you like a drink?"

"Why are you so babbling?"

Zhou Zheng frowned and sat down, staring into Li Zhiyong's eyes, but the latter met his eyes calmly.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Li Zhiyong raised his hand and pointed at one wall, and several layers of formations were activated at the same time, completely covering the basement.

He sighed: "Whether you believe it or not, monitor, I can't answer the monitor's doubts."

"Why?" Zhou Zheng didn't know why.

"I will be honest with you today, squad leader. This is also the only way for me to protect myself."

Li Zhiyong said sternly: "Everything stems from my dream. First of all, I lied to Futianmeng, saying that it was a dream I had when I was a child. In fact, I had a dream when I was seventeen years old, and now I have only been practicing for six years.

Seven years.”

Zhou Zheng pondered: "So..."

Li Zhiyong always looked a little worried.

"Are you only twenty-three or four this year?" Zhou Zheng's eyes lit up, "Brother, please come and listen?"

Li Zhiyong had several black lines hanging on his forehead and almost turned over the table and ran away.

"Just kidding," Zhou Zheng said with a smile, "I see you are too nervous. Let's lighten the mood... You don't have to worry too much about this. We are classmates and good buddies. If you have secrets that you don't want to share, don't tell them. I can trust you.

."

Li Zhiyong frowned and asked: "Squad leader, don't you care about my specific realm?"

"I just need to clarify one thing," Zhou Zheng asked. "That day when you faced the octopus monster, you rushed out in desperation, and then secretly told me that you were at the second level of the Return to Ruins Realm. I remember correctly."

"Um."

"Did you have the strength to defeat the octopus monster at that time?"

"I'm not even half sure, but I'm somewhat sure that I'm temporarily delaying it," Li Zhiyong said. "This incident also shows that my xinxing cultivation is not enough. I was too impulsive at the time, and I punished myself by copying that scripture a thousand times afterwards."

Zhou Zheng nodded slowly: "That's enough. I'm actually very pleased that you were able to throw away your code of conduct and rush out."

After saying this, Zhou Zheng raised his hand and patted Li Zhiyong on the shoulder:

"Okay, I'm going back. Oh, by the way, your scripture spontaneously ignited."

"Spontaneous combustion?" Li Zhiyong asked immediately, "Squad leader, please tell me in detail how it happened."

"that is……"

Such and such, such and such.

Zhou Zheng described the situation in detail, said the four verses, took Li Zhiyong to his room for a walk, and then returned to the basement.

Li Zhiyong let out a long sigh, sat slumped on the sofa, rubbed his face a few times with his hands, and his eyes were a little hollow.

What's up with him?

Zhou Zheng stayed with him for a while, and then comforted him softly: "Zhiyong, have you encountered any difficulties? Is it convenient to share?"

"I don't even know who he is," Li Zhiyong sneered, "I don't even know who my master is."

Zhou Zheng was puzzled: "Isn't it the famous Taibai Jinxing?"

"Yes, my master's wife Bai Jinxing, even that old gentleman recognized her in this way."

Li Zhiyong sighed:

"At the end of that dream, the old man with the golden five-pointed star on his forehead seemed to suddenly wake up from a dream. He looked at his hands in confusion and muttered to himself, 'Why am I here?'"

Zhou Zheng frowned tightly and fell into deep thought.

"You mean, Taibaijinxing has been manipulated by others, and they asked you in a dream to accept you as their disciple?"

"Well, then the old gentleman also recognized me as his registered disciple," Li Zhiyong said. "When he finally left, there was still a bit of confusion in his eyes."

Zhou Zheng took a breath and suddenly thought of something.

After Li Zhiyong spoke for a moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.
