Chapter 747 Linglu repays his favor 26
Xining also told the truth: "The leader needs to practice and take care of things. How can he notice these small things. Seeds can also survive, but the survival rate is far less than that of grafting and cuttings. If nothing happens, I will leave first!"
"Okay." Lei Zhenzi stroked his beard and nodded with a smile: "Let's go play."
What are you playing for? After Xining left the main hall, he went to the backyard. This is such a good place, full of spiritual energy everywhere he goes. There was a stone table under a big tree. I thought it was good, so I sat cross-legged on the stone table and started practicing.
As I was practicing, I felt someone coming. When I opened my eyes, I was startled to see that Lei Zhenzi was actually leading two Taoist priests, picking flowers in the rose garden with scissors.
What's going on? It seems that this old man has been a little unusual these past two days. He was obviously fasting, but he ate a meal with everyone. Now I am here to pick flowers. Was it because I was too stressed before Xiaojie and suffered from comprehensive schizophrenia?
She jumped off the stone table and walked over: "Master, why are you picking flowers?"
Lei Zhenzi cut off a budding rose with a pair of scissors and placed it on a plate in the hand of the Taoist priest next to him. He also put the scissors on the plate, waved his hand, and the Taoist priest took the plate away. Then he turned around and replied leisurely: "I want to get some more, so put another vase on it."
It seems that the pressure is too much, so let others do it at this time. It has been observed that there are two Taoist priests serving in the Tai Chi Palace. There are also four Taoist priests and eight Taoist boys who are responsible for cleaning, reception, miscellaneous and other tasks. With so many people, any one of them can move the roses in the entire flower garden. , you have to pick it yourself.
Xining asked cautiously: "Master, is there something wrong with you?"
Lei Zhenzi was stunned, glanced at her one more time, and then smiled: "What do you think is wrong with me?"
"I don't know." Xining has always been very honest. Looking at Lei Zhenzi, he is not a bad guy. Even his disciple Sun Yunfei can kill Diao Jinghu. If Lei Zhenzi wants to kill her, it will be easy: "But I I feel like you have something on your mind.”
She shook her head: "This is not good."
Lei Zhenzi said to another Taoist priest: "Serve tea."
The Taoist priest bowed and left, and Lei Zhenzi walked towards the stone table. Xining followed, and the two sat face to face on the round stone benches on both sides of the stone table.
Lei Zhenzi asked: "Why is it bad?"
Based on his previous cultivation experience, although Xi Ning didn’t know the rules of cultivation in this world, he could guess that there were rules for everything. As long as it wasn’t too outrageous, it was basically like this: “Cultivators are most afraid of inner demons. Well, it’s easy to have obsessions and inner demons if you have something on your mind.”
"Hehe!" Lei Zhenzi smiled: "You little deer know a lot, did Yun Fei tell you?"
She nodded and shook her head: "Yunfei didn't say, I just guessed."
At this time the tea was delivered, quite quickly. After all, he is a cultivator, his steps are light, and he can still wield a sword if he is faster.
Of the two cups of tea served, one was given to Lei Zhenzi and the other to her.
Lei Zhenzi picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "I wonder if you are used to drinking."
She picked up the tea, held the cup in one hand, and held it in front of her with the other. After taking a sip, she replied: "It's Maofeng, soaked with spiritual energy. There is no such spiritual energy in the world. It should be produced on the mountain."
With approval in his eyes, Lei Zhenzi said to the Taoist priest who delivered the tea: "Now go and prepare a tea set for her, order some tea leaves and send them over."
The word "now" indicated that he wanted to get rid of him. After the Taoist glanced at the deer demon, he bowed to Lei Zhenzi and left. It seems that he won't be coming for a while.
Lei Zhenzi took another sip of tea. Seeing him like this, Xining rolled his eyes secretly, obviously he had something to say, but he was hesitant. Anyway, she wouldn’t ask if he didn’t say anything, so she would also enjoy tea together. After taking three sips, Lei Zhenzi finally spoke first: "Cultivators regard it as their bounden duty to eliminate demons. I have always believed that eliminating demons is to do justice for heaven."
I know that Yun Fei is also preaching for heaven one by one, and his calluses are about to come out. If Yun Fei hadn't told everyone that she was a foster demon pet, she would have been "doing justice for heaven" countless times on this mountain.
Lei Zhenzi finally started talking: "Qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir, Yuan Ying, and god transformation, every time you have to break through before you can jump to the next level. As you get to the back, not only do you need to break through the bottleneck, but you will also have inner demons. At the beginning of the golden elixir stage, I always used my energy and will to break the shackles, but it became increasingly difficult, and I almost went crazy the last time.”
Xining blinked and listened. Lei Zhenzi looked at her but smiled and did not continue.
So she said: "Will the inner demons be even worse when going through the tribulation? If the guess is correct, the master's heart is to do justice for heaven."
Lei Zhenzi closed his eyes, sighed, nodded, and then told a story.
When he was young, Lei Zhenzi met a big demon, a snake demon. He fought with the snake demon for a day and a night. Both sides were exhausted, with wounds and blood all over their bodies. Finally, he gave the last blow and defeated the snake demon.
Before dying, the snake demon begged for mercy, but he remained unmoved. After the monster is killed, the inner elixir is taken, the belly is broken and the skin is peeled off. Such a big demon can frighten ordinary little demons by taking out snake bones and making a snake bone whip.
After finishing everything and collecting the tips, he went down the mountain and passed a village. It happened that the villagers were going up the mountain to worship the snake demon. He said with some pride that the snake demon had been eliminated and there was no need to worship the monster anymore.
As a result, the villagers cried loudly one by one, saying that the village used to be either drought or heavy rain, which caused mudslides and floods. Since the snake demon came, the good weather here depends entirely on the snake demon. Sometimes when villagers encounter danger when going up the mountain, the snake demon will take care of them and prevent wild beasts from approaching.
The snake demon is hailed as the mountain god by the villagers. It lives on the mountain and never asks for anything in return. The cattle and sheep offered for worship were given sincerely by the villagers. Now that the snake demon is killed, doesn't it mean that the mountain god is killed and the villagers' livelihood is cut off?
The villagers wiped away tears and chased the one who picked up the pole and sickle, leaving him in such a state of embarrassment that he could only escape with his sword.
Not long after, because the village lacked the protection of the snake demon, natural and man-made disasters continued one after another. The villagers had to leave their homes and all left.
Speaking of this, Lei Zhenzi let out a long sigh.
Xining held the teacup and raised his eyebrows. This old man finally has some conscience, unlike some humans who think they are the overlord of the world and can do whatever they want.
"So the leader has inner demons?"
Lei Zhenzi answered with a sigh again, which meant yes.
Finally I understood why this old man wanted to eat with her and come here to pick flowers. Some things are actually very simple, but sometimes people just can't figure them out.
Xi Ning began to have a lot of imagination. Yun Fei was being hunted by his fellow sect members. Now it seems that it is most likely related to the leader Xiao Jie. Did he do something when the leader was going through a tribulation that caused him to go crazy and die, or at least a severe stroke that left him unable to move or speak.
Everyone thought that Yunfei had harmed the leader, which left Yunfei unable to argue.
