Chapter 444: Fake Dharma, So Weird
Lu Xingshi never expected that the other party’s fake Dharma came from this, and for a moment he didn’t know whether to comfort or laugh at the other party.
And spending ten thousand taels to buy it is indeed outrageous.
All I can say is that he is worthy of being the heir apparent of the royal family. Even if he is not favored, he will take out ten thousand taels without blinking an eye.
"Taoist Master, do you think it's still too late for me to practice Taoism now?" Gao Zheng quickly adjusted his mentality. It doesn't matter if he bought a fake. There is a real one in front of him. Just ask Lu Xingshi for a copy.
"You can come in time, but the current world may not be suitable for practicing Taoism."
"You know the evil world of the five turbidities, it is getting more and more terrible now. If a cultivator does not learn from a famous family, it will be difficult to get ahead." Lu Xingshi declined the other party tactfully.
Judging from the other party's intention, he just wants to become a disciple of Lu Xingshi. As for actually giving him a copy? That is impossible.
What if something goes wrong? Lu Xingshi must be jointly and severally liable.
"This..." Gao Zheng hesitated. Of course he knew about the Five Turbid World, and even what happened in the capital some time ago.
More importantly, he saw that Lu Xingshi didn't really want to give it to him.
Seeing this, he couldn't force Lu Xingshi, so he changed the subject: "What the Taoist said is true. There is no urgency in cultivating the Tao. It is more important for the Taoist to come to Zhuangzi to kill demons."
Gao Zheng is a man who prefers to advance before retreating. He will first build a closer relationship by slaying demons, and then he will ask Lu Xingshi for the secret. Due to love, he will give it even if the other party refuses to give it.
It can be regarded as indirect moral kidnapping, but this kind of moral kidnapping will not be too disgusting.
After all, we all have a close relationship, so it’s not a big deal to give you a hand.
"Taoist Master has been here for a while. I wonder what clues he found?" Gao Zheng asked impatiently.
"No, this evildoer is very profound. I only know that he is in Zhuangzi, but I don't know who he is or where he is." Lu Xingshi really didn't know.
If you want to know, either open a large account or investigate on your own.
However, after opening a large account, the exploration time will inevitably be squeezed into the battle time. By then, I am afraid that I will not be able to kill the enemy, and the time to invite immortals will have passed.
Gao Zheng looked stunned. When he heard Lu Xingshi's words, he knew that he was in big trouble.
"I wonder how advanced this evildoer's path is?" Gao Zheng felt that if it was too high, he would not need the method, and he could run away immediately.
"If you really want to say it, he is as high as the sky." The description given by Lu Xingshi is still very reasonable. For immortals, it is normal for Taoists to be as high as the sky, otherwise how would the other person become an immortal.
When Gao Zheng heard this, he came back to his senses and said, "The Taoist Master is really good at joking. How can you and I be able to deal with such a Taoist being as high as the sky?"
If they are so high in the sky, they are not immortals. How can they face the immortals?
"What the prince said is absolutely true. The evil world with five turbidities is harmful to people." Lu Xingshi sighed and did not argue with Gao Zheng. It didn't matter whether the other party believed it or not. Anyway, from the beginning to the end, Gao Zheng was just an addendum.
After the two sides chatted for a while, Gao Zheng felt more and more strange as they talked. If Lu Xingshi had real abilities, he must have.
But his words made him feel like he was boasting.
‘Could it be a silver pewter spear head? ’ Gao Zheng had such an idea in his mind.
So I tried a few more words, and I felt more and more like this.
This feeling is naturally caused by the fact that Gao Zheng is not only a layman, but also knows little about it, and has also been misled by fakes.
In fact, it was his direct knowledge reserve and inability to understand, plus as the crown prince, even if he was not favored, his father, Prince Zhong, was not a little prince, so he was the center of attention wherever he went.
This is what caused him to feel this way.
Lu Xingshi corrected his mistake, and the subconsciousness brought by his identity told him, I have been practicing hard for more than ten years, but I can't compare to you?
Even if what you repair is fake.
After having this feeling, his sense of Lu Xingshi became much colder.
"I'll stop nagging Taoist priest. If you need help with anything, go to Li Laosan. He can help you." After Gao Zheng finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Lu Xingshi naturally noticed the change in the other party's attitude. He couldn't understand it, but he didn't push it too hard.
"Isn't it because I don't do things for him that he becomes indifferent to me?" Lu Xingshi muttered.
Gao Zheng's situation was recalled in his mind.
"There's still something wrong." Lu Xingshi couldn't find what was wrong for a while.
Lu Xingshi did not think further, but directly began to monitor Gao Zheng directly with the mysterious light technique formed by taking the moon.
Since you feel something is wrong with the other party, don't look for any evidence or investigate. Monitoring is more useful than anything else.
"The premonition of Meng Tou's Earthly Evil Dao Fruit is indeed good, especially with the blessing of the divine power."
This is the second time Meng Tou has received an increase. The first time was due to the number of stars and the Earth Evil Fruit of the Shooting Over series, and the second time was due to Divine Movement.
Shenxing is also a core type of Earthly Evil Dao Fruit that can connect most Dao Fruits.
In fact, it is somewhat inappropriate to use Shen Xing as the name. It can be changed to Yuan Shen or Yang Shen.
…
Gao Zheng returned to Jiangyin Mansion in a carriage, still thinking about Lu Xingshi in his mind.
"It's very difficult to get the Dharma from this Taoist. You don't want to eat salt and oil, and you don't want to eat hard or soft." Gao Zheng looked helpless. In his eyes, Lu Xingshi was indeed a silver-like pewter spearhead, but no matter how bad it was, it was still a spearhead, and he was just a stick. Naturally, he wanted to go further.
"The worse the world is, the more it is necessary to have magical powers at your side."
"It's not a good world, haha."
Gao Zheng looked very disdainful. He really thought he was a fool. Now that he has lost the protection of the dynasty, how can the human race be the opponent of monsters and monsters?
Only mastering magical powers is the way to protect yourself.
With the advent of the evil age of five turbidities, people's hearts have changed.
In the past, there were immortals, gods, dynasty patrons, and ascetics. Even in the evil world of Five Turbidities, demons and ghosts still could not bring trouble to the world.
Things are different now. Immortals and gods are nowhere to be found, dynasty protection has disappeared, and 99% of the ascetics were killed by a certain previous Emperor Zhao.
The human world has completely lost the protection of force.
This made Gao Zheng want to obtain magical powers even more.
"If I succeed in cultivating Taoism and gain the position of Prince Zhong, it is not impossible to get a glimpse of the position of the Ninth Five-Year Master in the future." Gao Zheng had ambition in his eyes.
The current throne is indeed a position that is hated by people and dogs, but those Zhao Emperors who are in the upper position are ordinary people. If he is a monk, how can he be afraid of the little bullshit curse?
"Eternal Emperor..."
Thinking of this, he knew that he must obtain the Taoist cultivation method from Lu Xingshi, otherwise he would lose this opportunity and never know whether he would meet again in the future.
After all, the monk is almost dead. It was so difficult for him when he was in the capital, let alone now in a remote place like Jiangyin Mansion, it is even more difficult.
The carriage returned to Prince Zhong's Mansion in Jiangyin City. As the crown prince, he must have lived in the Prince's Mansion.
This is his father's fiefdom. Although he has never lived there, the supporting buildings and facilities are complete and there are dedicated personnel to maintain it every day.
After all, he is also a member of the royal family. He is not a down-and-out or a member of the family for many generations, so there is no need to worry about his treatment.
There were so many thoughts in his mind that Gao Zheng tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night.
Dong Dong Dong~
There was a sudden and regular knock on the door. An irritated Gao Zhengyi stood up and shouted with an ugly expression: "Who is making noise at night?"
Counting the time, it was already after midnight, and everyone except those on night watch and patrol were asleep.
Even if he wasn't sleeping, he wouldn't be able to knock on his door.
Of course, if there is an emergency, the knocking will not be so regular. It will only be very rapid and vigorous, accompanied by shouts.
"Hey hey hey, there is an old friend coming to visit, why does the prince avoid seeing him?" A slightly wretched old man's voice came in.
These words shocked Gao Zheng, and he recognized the voice. It was the old man who had defrauded him of 10,000 taels of silver and bought a fake.
‘Could it be that... you’re not a liar? ’
The first reaction in Gao Zheng's mind was this. If he can enter the palace quietly, who is he if he is not a monk?
More importantly, more than ten years ago, this old man was already very old, at least seventy or eighty years old. Now more than ten years have passed, and he is nearly ninety years old, if not a hundred years old.
If the other party is not a cultivator and is already very old, how can he enter the mansion?
"The Taoist Master has misunderstood. After I change clothes and wash up, I will open the door to greet the Taoist Master." Gao Zheng spoke immediately.
However, he suddenly felt a chill on his body. He thought it was the cold night air, and he was accidentally surprised.
But he moved very quickly, opening the door as soon as he put on his clothes.
More than ten years have passed, and although his memory is a little blurry, he recognized the other person at a glance, and the other person's appearance has not changed at all.
Welcoming him respectfully into the house, he said, "The Taoist priest has come a long way, but do you have something to teach me?"
When meeting the other party, Gao Zheng had completely denied what Lu Xingshi had said before.
Fake? It's just that the other party has eyes and doesn't know the true Dharma. He himself can't enter the Tao because he hasn't penetrated the true Dharma yet, so he has been unable to enter the Tao.
"Yes..." The old man's tone changed from vulgar to stiff.
Gao Zheng also felt that the weather was getting colder. Could it be that the temperature dropped at night.
When he looked at the old man again, he was almost scared out of his mind.
His face was as pale as a dead person, and there was a certain coldness about his body.
Just when he was about to ask, he noticed that the old man's skin began to droop, as if it had turned into some kind of wax.
Gao Zheng couldn't help but swallowed, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Now he seemed to understand what he had invited into the house.
It was the evildoer Lu Xingshi came to slay demons. Instead of staying in Zhuangzi, the evildoer followed him back.
"Do you think I look like a god or an immortal?" The old man spoke again, stiffly exhaling the cold that made Gao Zheng shiver.
