Chapter 1980 Introduction to the Hundreds and Eight Thousand Orifices of the Physical Body
Zhang Xuezhou didn’t particularly like water in the past, after all, he almost drowned in water.
But since he became associated with water, he is used to making temporary adjustments near rivers. It is also convenient to catch fish by the river, but the fish meat is a bit unpalatable, so he is not too picky when he is full.
He did not expect to meet Taoist Ran Deng by the water again.
But when his eyes inadvertently glanced at the alms bowl that Brother Tathagata covered with his sleeves, he narrowed his eyes slightly and roughly guessed why he met these two people at the river.
The monkey in Brother Tathagata's alms bowl was no bigger than a palm, but it gave Zhang Xuezhou a vague sense of familiarity.
He thought of the shrinking head of the Jiufeng Demon King detained in Jinchang, and he couldn't help but wonder if Brother Tathagata had received the Great Sage Water Ape into the alms bowl.
The Great Sage Water Ape is a great demon who loves water, so there may be a need to let him go.
As for Brother Tathagata, who has been practicing the art of avoiding poisons these days, it is very likely that he is looking for the necessary medicinal materials everywhere, so he travels through these wilderness areas, mountains and rivers.
The chance of the two parties meeting by chance is really low, but it is not too surprising that both parties are looking for a good place and happen to meet together.
Zhang Xuezhou looked down at the mountains and rivers from high in the air and felt that the landing spot was very good, while Taoist Ran Deng came here in search of the magical medicinal herbs in the mountains.
"Fellow Taoist must be tired all the way, I'll talk while we eat!"
Randeng Taoist had touched Zhang Xuezhou's fish before, but this time he took the initiative to get into the water.
Zhang Xuezhou saw Taoist Ran Deng reaching for a long ruler and paddling it back and forth in the river. When the river started to whirlpool, the long ruler in his hand flew out.
After the crisp sound of 'pop', a four-foot-long big fish with a red body floated in the river.
"Uncle Master is good at finding heavy objects in mountains and rivers. This fish is a red crucian carp that attracts the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers. Not only is the fish delicious, this fish is also very nourishing and nourishing." Brother Tathagata clasped his hands and said: "If the donor practices a hundred and eighty thousand Qianqiao's physical skills, eating more will be beneficial to your practice!"
"Can eating help promote your physical skills?" Zhang Xuezhou said: "I had a discussion with Taoist priest Ran Deng. Forgot one Seven, seven, eight, it’s very difficult to learn, and I haven’t even entered the door yet!”
“As long as you eat more spiritual things, you will get twice the result with half the effort in cultivating the physical body.” Brother Tathagata said: “If I had known that there was something in the East! With such good conditions, I can save myself decades of hard work by coming to practice in the East!”
“Haste makes waste, Master’s diligent practice has many benefits, and is far safer than taking medicine to practice!” Zhang Xuezhou said.
“Diligence...alas!”
Brother Tathagata sighed.
If he has good conditions, how can he be diligent?
The reason for his diligence was only because the resources in the world of Xiniu and Hezhou were poor, so he had to practice hard.
In the past, he even thought about coming to Nanfangbuzhou and other places to look for opportunities, but he suffered the disadvantage of being young and energetic, and also encountered an era where geniuses flourished, which made him in that era Difficult to get ahead.
Everything is going down in Nanfangbuzhou today, but these areas that have been raided by many spiritual masters and geniuses still leave a lot of opportunities. Even Brother Tathagata is quite nostalgic, and it is difficult for him to Imagine how wealthy the people in this area used to be.
The red crucian carp was caught ashore by the Randen Taoist. After a simple treatment, the Randen Taoist was about to tear the fish into four parts. He glanced at Zhang Xuezhou and smiled awkwardly. He took out his coffin lamp and lit a weak gray flame on it. Bake there.
The burning smell wafted out, and Brother Tathagata couldn't help but feel a little pity.
But he also knows that Nanfangbuzhou here pays attention to cooked food and refining natural materials and earthly treasures with civil and military fires, unlike Xiniu Hezhou where they eat raw food and eat it hard.
It is undoubtedly a waste of money to eat this kind of spiritual fish with this barbecue method, but the necessary customs still need to be respected, so as to avoid the embarrassment caused by the four people eating raw fish, which will prevent the subsequent friendly exchanges between Taoist Randen.
“Grilled fish successfully!”
A red crucian carp was burnt black, but Taoist Randen was quite satisfied with his barbecue skills.
The fish grilled on a low fire can be cooked slowly, but the sky-fire grilled fish in his coffin lamp is overkill and can easily be ignited and burned. "The fire in Taoist Priest's lamp does not seem to be an extraordinary thing!"
Zhang Xuezhou took the half-arm-length piece of fish handed over by Taoist Ran Deng, and then looked at the charred exterior and interior. The fish meat was white, tender and undercooked, but there seemed to be something wrong with Ran Deng Taoist's flame.
"My fire is the ghost fire of the underworld, and it is the top flame to restrain the ghosts." Taoist Ran Deng nodded and said: "The old Taoist is not ranked among the heavens, but the old Taoist kills the ghosts and no one dares to come second. Call it first!”
"Amazing!"
Zhang Xuezhou gave a thumbs up gesture.
The Zhijiao school is also a large school that plays ghost zombies. The fire of Nanming also has a destructive effect on the ghosts, while the Randen Taoist is a treasure that is close to the body and specializes in killing shadowy things. The two are familiar with each other. It is difficult to compare high maturity and low maturity.
After understanding the flames of Ran Deng Taoist and comparing them with the fire of Nanming, Zhang Xuezhou felt that not only the body of the fish in his hand was burned, but also the soul of the fish was burned, which made Zhang Xuezhou feel... Somewhat weird.
It's a bit like eating frozen meat that has been stored for several years instead of eating fresh meat.
But it is not a problem to swallow this kind of fish to fill your stomach.
Zhang Xuezhou tore a piece of fish into his mouth and chewed it slowly. Rong Tianding, who was hungry at the side, also started eating.
Although it was burnt black by the flames, the fish in the mouth was extremely cold.
Zhang Xuezhou frowned slightly, and then spread his brows.
Randeng Taoist grilled the fish completely blindly and used an inappropriate flame to grill the fish, but he couldn't bear it. This kind of fish is really rare. Zhang Xuezhou felt like he had taken a big medicine.
He even noticed that his physical body was being slightly moisturized, making his body more flexible and stronger.
Zhang Xuezhou cannot sense the ability to increase longevity, but he has practiced many skills and is familiar with almost every part of his body, and he can also understand such subtle changes.
He could even feel that the acupoints seemed to be a little rounder, as if they had been polished through continuous practice.
“This fish was originally intended to help Tathagata to achieve the secret of avoiding poison and push it to the twenty-four thousand orifices.” Ran Deng Taoist said: “When you meet your little friend at this time, you don’t need to forcefully use foreign objects. Great work!”
“If you are willing to promote spiritual practice, you can use this power of nourishing the physical body to try to promote the physical body skills we teach in the West, and you should have a high chance of getting started,” Brother Tathagata said.
"I hope you two can give me some advice," Zhang Xuezhou said, "I have been running around these days and have forgotten most of my discussions with Taoist priests. I don't remember it clearly anymore!"
"It's easy to talk about this" Taoist Ran Deng He said happily: "I hope my little friend can also help Tathagata to check the poison-avoidance method, so that he will not go the wrong way in cultivation!"
"No problem!"
Zhang Xuezhou patted his chest and reassured. .
His excuse made Rong Tianding a little curious at first, but he felt that Zhang Xuezhou was so talented that he would not be unable to remember the content.
When Taoist Ran Deng spoke again, there was Zhang Xuezhou studying awkwardly there again. Only then did Rong Tianding realize that Zhang Xuezhou was giving himself a chance to learn.
"Can I learn from it and get started?"
Rong Tianding asked Taoist Randen. Seeing that Taoist Randen did not deny it, he couldn't help but eat the fish meat. , and quickly kept up with Zhang Xuezhou's deliberately slow pace of practice.
As long as you follow Zhang Xuezhou, opportunities will be endless.
Rong Tianding was convinced for a moment, he only felt that the ability to follow Zhang Xuezhou was a good skill.
