Looking at Niu Dexi who had his head on the ground, sweating coldly and not daring to move at all, Zhang Baoer's eyes flickered with uncertainty.
The scene where Niu De was happy to see Ruhu was all just an act, what a cunning old boy! He couldn't even see the slightest clue on his own! It's just... I don't know whether his friendship with Ruhu is deep or shallow?!
But having said that, he can climb over the wall of his house and look at Ruhu. Even if it’s not deep, it’s not too shallow, right?
Killing him...it's hard to face Ruhu, and I may not be able to kill him, but...if I don't silence him, I might be in trouble...
"What should I do?"
Zhang Baoer rubbed Xiao Ha's head and fell into deep thought, not knowing what to do for a while.
Niu Dexi didn't know what this 'demon king' was thinking, but he knew that a long time had passed. In the process, he became more and more happy and anxious.
The happy thing is: since the 'big king' didn't kill himself immediately, does that mean he won't kill himself?
What’s urgent is: If we’re not going to kill, then what’s the point of waiting?
"Could it be that...the king actually wants to let me go? But he is still unable to make a decision because he is worried that I will leak the news?!"
"Yes! That must be the case! The demonic energy on his body is not very strong. He was probably injured, so he came to the land of humans, Tazo!"
Thinking of this, Niu Dexi decided to take the initiative to fight for his life. After gritting his teeth, he whispered in fear:
"Your Majesty..."
Not being stopped, Niu De felt happy and thought that he had guessed correctly, so he continued:
"Niu Dexi is not talented. I am willing to follow the king. I hereby swear an oath: With only one order from the king, Niu Dexi will die! If you don't obey, you will be struck by five thunders and you will not die a good death!"
"oh?!"
Zhang Baoer was overjoyed, but asked calmly and calmly:
"There is no such thing as love and hatred for no reason in this world. Tell me what you want!"
Hearing this, Niu Dexi was silent for a moment because he didn't know if there was any trick in Zhang Baoer's words and was afraid that he would answer wrongly.
"How should I answer? Hey! Anyway, I am just a small role in his eyes. As he said, morality is put on both sides and profit is in the middle... That's all! Give it a try! Be honest... truthfully...
tell!"
Thinking of this, Niu Dexi no longer hesitated:
"Your Majesty, I have a lot of talent when I was young, but I was a thief. I was discovered for stealing seventeen years ago and suffered severe injuries. It is difficult for me to improve my cultivation... Now I am over fifty. If I don't have a lot of talent...
Opportunity, there is no hope for the golden elixir in this life, and he will die in a hundred years! The villain cherishes his life, but now he meets no one else but the king. Today he has witnessed the king's unpredictable methods, so... the villain is willing to bet
Once!"
After listening, Zhang Baoer fell into deep thought again - I don't know how to practice myself, so how can I help you realize your dream? If one day you are unable to do anything and discover the 'truth'...
But, that’s not possible now!
So, Zhang Baoer knocked on the handrail and said:
"You hesitated..."
Hearing these words, Niu Dexi was shocked, but Zhang Baoer continued:
"Very good! It's precisely because you hesitated that I believe you! Haha, how can you give up your wealth and life to others at will?! Get up, you will be one of your own from now on!"
Boom!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Niu De was overjoyed and kowtowed hard before getting up from the ground.
Seeing his trembling and joyful expression, Zhang Baoer thought for a while and decided to add more chips - anyway, he is almost broke now, and he is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. What's the big deal with casual talk:
"Work hard, and I will not treat you badly. Although the magic is useless to you, but! Haha, don't talk about gold and silver eggs... Haha!"
Niu Dexi was confused, and while he was thinking about it, he heard Zhang Baoer continue:
"This king comes from outside the sky!"
"What?! Your Majesty, you..."
Niu Dexi was shocked, thinking that he heard wrongly. When he saw Zhang Baoer smiling and nodding, his eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but wanted to shout, but his mouth was covered by himself!
"Your Majesty! Do you know the 'Tao Yan'?!"
After saying this inexplicable sentence, Zhang Baoer was stunned and couldn't help but ask:
"How did you know?"
This means ‘know’. Niu Dexi was trembling with joy and replied without thinking:
"The thing passed down from our ancestors is the text of 'Tao Yan'. There are two in total. It took several generations of talent to translate one of them, which is the pupil technique. Then the family fell into decline. Since the villain's grandfather, there have been no golden elixir monks.
, knowing that "it is not a sin but a crime for a young child to carry a baby in a busy city", he did not dare to study it. Now I am the only one left! Haha, I am able to meet the king now, it is really a blessing from God... No, it is a blessing from God.
....."
"No matter who God helps, let's take a look first and then talk!"
"On the villain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Baoer opened his mouth wide because Niu Dexi actually took out a dagger from his sleeve and then cut an opening in his thigh.
Not long after, he dug out a white piece of bone that was as big as two fingers and put it in Zhang Baoer's hand, with densely written small characters on it...
""Qingmu", the spirit goes up to the divine court, and goes down to the seal hall, divided into two streams, entering the pupil, which is the eye; the spirit is the firewood, which is added, and the essence is the fire, which is burned..."
"Yes, yes!"
Zhang Baoer had just read a few words when he was interrupted by the excited voice of Niu Dexi, who looked like a dancing master!
Seeing Zhang Baoer stop, he suddenly realized that he had 'misbehaved' and stopped quickly.
Zhang Baoer did not scold him angrily and continued to read the bones. When he read the words on the bones from beginning to end, he sighed and said to Niu Dexi:
"The technique of "Qingmu" damages people's vitality and spirit. Perhaps the reason why your Niu family declined is because you used this technique too much. That's why your ancestors stopped using the golden elixir!"
Niu Dexi nodded sadly and said:
"I know... my father also warned me before he died that 'this technique is unlucky', but... the road to build is long, and it is even more difficult to do if you have nothing special about others and no family background, so I couldn't help but learn it.
He took a shortcut and became a thief... Your Majesty, then..."
Seeing his eyes suddenly glowing with desire, Zhang Baoer grinned and said:
"Congratulations! Although the next article is not something extraordinary, it will be of great use to you!"
"real?!"
Zhang Baoer did not answer him immediately. After looking at him for a while, he threw the bone back to him, washed his hands with tea, and then said lightly:
"Don't use this technique again in the future! Don't worry, you are still young and will never die. Just work hard. One day when I am satisfied, your chance will come!"
After saying that, he hugged Xiaoha and turned around and walked out without looking back.
Niu Dexi looked at his back and stayed where he was for a moment.
After a long time, he stared at the bones stained with his own blood in his hand and said nothing.
After another half a while, he suddenly became excited:
"Niu Dexi will never let you down!"
...
Zhang Baoer was very disappointed. There was no cultivation method recorded on the bone fragment. The latter article recorded health maintenance methods. He felt that it would be of little use to him.
Of course, apart from being disappointed, he was also very happy: although he didn't know the blessings and disasters of having accepted a foundation-building Dzogchen monk like Niu Dexi, there shouldn't be any big problem as long as he controlled it carefully. The next chapter he would master would be his "three inches"
.
As for the "Clear Eyes" technique, he wouldn't practice it even to death. It's exactly the legendary "Seven Injury Fist"! Besides, his senses are already sharp enough, so there's no need to practice it.
Unconsciously, the path had reached the end. He paused suddenly and almost hit the wall. Then he shook his head and smiled, then turned and walked towards the courtyard gate.
"I didn't expect that even if I didn't pay the rent, I would take the boss as a slave..."
...
Time flies, and it has been ten days in the blink of an eye. Ruhu and Yeyu's injuries have mostly healed. Everyone else, except Tang Tiantian and Duoduo, have made rapid progress in their cultivation, thanks to the breathing method that Ruhu selflessly dedicated.
.
In the past ten days, except for the day when the four soldiers came, Zhang Baoer almost never left the courtyard, did not implement his plan, and did not go shopping. Instead, he stayed alone in his room.
But he was not idle. He was reminiscing: Ever since he met Niu Dexi that day and realized the importance of "Tao Yan", he tried every means to calm himself down, and then recalled the time in the world of gods - those godless things that passed through him
His eyes or ears imprint everything into his 'ignorant' soul.
He was very distressed because many things were not only intermittent but also vague; but he was unwilling to give up, so... after ten days, there was nothing gained.
Except for "Xiaoyaoyou", which may have been remembered as a conditioned reflex because he had read it on Earth, other spell formulas could only be remembered in fragments, and no matter how hard he practiced, he could not produce any tricks.
As for the words of the Tao, perhaps it is because he has been exposed to the world of gods for a long time, and he knew hieroglyphics when he was on earth, so the words of the Tao are not a hindrance to him.
Of course, knowing that he knew Taoism, he didn't feel proud because Tang Tiantian understood it.
"Eh!"
So, on this day, he sighed and walked out of the house.
"Brother!"
As soon as he went out, Tang Tiantian jumped over from nowhere, grabbed his arm with both hands, shook him vigorously and begged:
"How about we go out for a walk?! I'm almost turning into a tethered war chicken!"
Zhang Baoer threw her hand away angrily. How good a war chicken is. It doesn't croak when it has something to eat. How can it be like this guy who ambushes him every day and will be asked the same thing as soon as he goes out - he has given orders: Others
People can go out, but Tang Tiantian can't, unless he is there!
However, he did not refuse today.
"Pull your claws back! Why are you still standing there? Tell them to bring money and go shopping!"
Tang Tiantian cheered and turned around to run away. Then, there were thunderous knocks on the door.
"Ha ha!"
Xiao Ha was the first to arrive and kept circling around Zhang Baoer.
Zhang Bao'er couldn't laugh or cry when he saw his happy look. After all this time, he still couldn't figure out whether Xiao Ha was smart or stupid. What does it mean to show such a happy look now?
After picking up Xiao Ha, he couldn't help but turn around and look at Tang Tiantian's busy appearance, because he regretted that he had spent nearly ten days in vain, and regretted that he had made her depressed for ten days.
There is only one thing he does not regret, and that is: restricting the freedom of Tang Tiantian, a fool and troublemaker.
"Then again, if she hadn't been restrained, her level of happiness wouldn't have been so high..."
A gust of breeze blew, and he suddenly felt that the house was like a hidden bush, and he was a lurking beast, and attacking and fighting was the moment before reaping happiness.
