It turns out that among the eighth generation disciples of Empty Nest Zen Monastery, there is also an uncle, Master Ji Fen.
Together with the Lonely Zen Master, they joined the Shasheng Temple at the same time and passed the blood-transforming test at the same time, which is how Li Chen and Li Sao became at this time.
The two supported each other and developed a deep friendship.
Zen Master Loneliness spoke eloquently, with a rather solemn look on his face, probably recalling those passionate days.
Practice together, fight monsters together, and break through levels together.
But soon the look of hesitation on his face changed, and he said with a slightly bitter tone: "It's a pity..."
"Until one day, when he came back from training at the foot of the mountain, he suddenly became distracted."
"At first, I thought he was physically and mentally tired, but I never expected that he would tell me..."
"He fell in love with a woman who was as gentle as water and was submissive to him, so he had no intention of practicing..."
"Amitabha, sin, sin, sin!"
Having said this, Zen Master Lonely's face became a little puzzled.
"Buddha said, love and desire are nothing greater than color. Color is desire, and it is nothing more than lust."
"The great horror of lust depends on one person. If the two are the same, no one in the world can be a Taoist."
"Female! Poison!"
"This is a stumbling block on the path of spiritual practice for Zen disciples like us, and everyone avoids it."
"But Junior Brother Jifen, why doesn't he understand?"
[We agreed to serve the Buddha together, but you secretly fell into the mortal world.]
Li Chen and Li Sao looked at each other: Why do I feel like the master is jealous?
"The Surangama Sutra says: Unless the lustful mind is eliminated, the dust will not come out."
"In my life-killing temple, I have never been close to women, just because our temple has a good atmosphere."
"It's a pity... Jifen destroyed the thousand-year-old reputation of the Sasho Temple."
Li Sao curled up her lips: Ahem, the main reason why Shasheng Temple is not close to women is that it is located in a deep mountain and old forest, and even mosquitoes within a hundred miles are male.
[Ji Fen, do you still remember our original oath? 】
…
"It's a pity that my junior brother originally had a bright future. Beauty is a curse, beauty is a curse."
Seeing the Lonely Zen Master lamenting repeatedly, Li Sao became a little anxious, so she interrupted: "Master, what does this uncle have to do with the insect eggs on my body?"
Zen Master Lonely sighed: "Before Shasheng Temple, there was a demon farmer sect in the world of cultivation. He originally came from a farmer's family in hundreds of schools of thought, but later he became a giant in the magic way."
"The Demon Farm Gate has a fragmented inheritance that has been circulated in various places, and one of the gates later found its way into the Shasheng Temple.
The name of this inheritance is "Zang Bean Gong", and its meaning is "If you sow melons, you will get melons; if you sow beans, you will get beans."
You can condense your own Qi and blood into demon seeds, plant them in other people's Dantian, and feed back to yourself through the nourishment of the other person's Qi and blood."
"Although it is a magic technique, it still has traces of the original path, and it can be connected through the origin of blood."
"For example, the blood-winged black mosquito is the main body, and the eggs are the demon seeds."
"In other words, the blood-winged black mosquito has planted a demonic seed in your junior brother's body."
Li Chen suddenly realized.
As the saying goes, you reap what you sow, which is actually a method of establishing connections by tracing back to the origin.
But Li Chen suddenly frowned.
This reminded him of the 'Blood Droplet' in the killing scene.
Could there be some connection between the two?
At this time, Li Sao said with a sad face: "No, Master, this method sounds abnormal."
Zen Master Loneliness curled his lips: "Or do you just wait to die?"
Li Sao quickly said: "If I die, you will be the one who suffers."
Zen Master Loneliness shook his head slightly and said, "However, you don't have to worry, all kinds of demons will have their own benefits on you."
"As the carrier of the demon seed, you can also borrow the power of the demon seed."
When Li Sao heard this, the depressed look on her face disappeared instantly.
"Master, where is my uncle now?"
"Without further delay, hurry up!"
As a result, Zen Master Loneliness looked embarrassed: "Speaking of it... it might be a little troublesome."
"Back then, Ji Fen fell in love with that woman and was determined to leave the Sasho Temple, so the teacher became angry and...trained him."
Training is indeed a traditional project of Empty Nest Zen Monastery.
"Ahem, he later escaped from the Shasheng Temple while recovering from his injuries."
"Your master is furious and insists on asking me to go and clean it up."
"I cared about my friendship with my teacher, so I secretly sent him a letter, asking him to stay away when he saw a bald head in the future."
"So you two may have to work hard."
Li Chen and Li Sao looked at each other: What's wrong with being bald?
"Later, your master passed away and became the head of the Empty Nest Zen Monastery, so this matter was completely let go."
After speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve with an address written on it: Anhou City, Fengbai Mountain.
Anhou City and Shasheng Temple are located in the same southern border area, and are thousands of miles apart.
If Li Chen went there in the ascetic boat, it would probably take less than half a month, but if he took Li Sao with him, it would take at least two months.
After all, flying a weapon also requires mana.
"Although the bug in Lisao's belly still lasts for half a year, we should try not to delay it on the road."
After saying that, he took out a brochure and two signs.
"This is the Beast Taming Technique and the Beast Taming Card."
"After you learn how to do it, you can go to the killing forest and find a spiritual beast to take your place."
Sesshoji Temple is not famous for controlling beasts, but after all, it has a profound background, and this beast control technique is also rare.
The prerequisite for controlling a beast is to tame it first. Only after the spirit beast is conquered will it become obedient.
After a stick of incense, Li Chen and Li Sao had learned a lot.
The two of them said goodbye to Zen Master Loneliness and immediately went to the Killing Forest.
Since joining the Killing Temple, Li Chen has only been to the Killing Forest once, and he almost lost his life.
But things are different now, and he is no longer the practicing monk with no talents.
At least there should be no pressure outside the Sesshoji Temple.
The so-called spiritual beasts are beasts that have developed intelligence. They are a little more spiritual than wild beasts, and a little less violent than monster beasts.
Therefore, it is more suitable to be domesticated by humans.
Generally speaking, spiritual beasts are nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and their bodies are relatively strong.
Although there are many wild beasts in the killing forest, there are very few spiritual beasts.
"I have been looking forward to learning the art of controlling animals for a long time. Hey, I got what I wanted today. Senior brother, I will take the first step."
Li Chen nodded, looking at him, he looked a bit high-spirited.
Li Chen was not in a hurry, the dull hair on his head stood up, and all the sounds around him were absorbed into his heart.
While listening, he walked deeper into the killing forest.
I have to say that the Killing Forest is really a paradise for wild beasts, and you can see almost all kinds of animals here.
Each beast has its own walking habits, and the sounds they convey are naturally different.
Li Chen listened carefully, and finally found a sound among the many sounds, four hooves tapping the ground, unusually crisp and powerful.
With four hooves on the ground, it should be a herbivore, good at running, and relatively gentle in character, making it easier to tame.
Li Chen looked around and saw that he had gone deep enough. If he went further in, he might encounter monsters.
He made up his mind and immediately used the shadow escape technique to approach the target silently.
