He Yidao and the others looked at the meritorious water ape in front of them with solemn expressions.
Monk Liuru first led the white dog forward and walked until he reached the waterless space on the altar that was shielded by the formation.
The white dog seemed a little afraid of the ape on the altar. It kept struggling backwards in fear and clawing at the mud under its feet, unwilling to move forward.
It also twisted its head and pulled Monk Liuru hard, trying to break free of the rope around its neck from Monk Liuru's hand.
However, this rope of unknown material is extremely strong.
Moreover, the white dog's strength cannot pull Monk Liuru away at all.
Therefore, the white dog was forcefully dragged into the open space where the lake was isolated.
He Yidao looked at Monk Liuru's back and followed him.
Finally, a group of people and a dog entered the open space where the lake was isolated.
This is not a vacuum, there is air inside.
And the air is extremely fresh.
In other words, you can talk here, and you can also hear others talking.
"I once remembered that the Heavenly Sword Sect had a sword law, which was also about apes. I didn't understand it at first, but now I finally understand it." Bi Ruidong finally said what he had been holding back.
"Are you saying, 'When you encounter a blood ape on the altar, call for the sword command immediately?'"
"That's right, the altar ape should be referring to the ape in front of you."
"But isn't this the Merit Water Ape we saw before? The reason why the Merit Ape is named Merit, doesn't it mean that this type of ape is pure and kind in heart and loves to give merit?"
"If that's the case, then why do you need to ask for the Sword Order?"
"Look at this ape, there's still a little bit of merit in it like a water ape."
He Yidao's face showed a rare heaviness at this time. He heard Chen Yanshan and the other three discussing in low voices, so he said: "The merit water ape is an alien species among the merit apes."
Bi Ruidong and the others looked at He Yidao who was speaking. They knew that He Yidao had obtained the inheritance from Master Jingyang's uncle. He Yidao might know some secrets of the world of cultivation, as well as some stories behind the sword laws of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
The sword laws of the Heavenly Sword Sect are used to warn and restrain Heavenly Sword disciples.
After thousands of years of continuous supplementation and improvement of the Sword Law, what happened in some sects and what happened in the world of cultivation that are worthy of warning will be supplemented by the Sword Law.
Therefore, the Law of Swords can also be considered as a collection of stories, a collection of stories that restrain disciples of the Heavenly Sword.
"Apes are the monsters most similar to humans, and ordinary apes that have not yet become monsters are close to humans in terms of intelligence.
Like the five-element merit ape, he is a monster from the moment he is born. He is extremely intelligent and is born from heaven and earth.
They are born pure and kind, and they like to do meritorious deeds."
"This is why all the sects want to find a meritorious ape to be the guardian beast of the mountain. Such a meritorious ape is an auspicious beast for everyone."
"However, the growth rate of the Five Elements Merit Monkey is extremely slow, so if you want to cultivate it into a mountain-protecting beast, it is difficult for ordinary sects to cultivate it."
"But there are always exceptions to everything. The merit water ape has a characteristic that other merit apes do not have."
Bi Ruidong and the others asked in confusion: "What is it?"
"Can quickly grow into a mountain-protecting monster!"
He Yidao said the word "warcraft" instead of "divine beast".
He Yidao looked at the merit water ape sitting on the altar, and then said: "Actually, the merit water ape is also called the Xuanyin water ape."
"Xuanyin Water Ape?" Bi Ruidong and his group heard this name for the first time, "Why?"
"It may be that the merit water ape is inherently different from other merit apes.
Although other meritorious apes are divided into four types: metal, wood, fire, and earth, these four apes have always lived on land like humans.
But the merit water ape can live in the water.
You can even live in the water your whole life."
He Yidao was silent for a while, and then said: "It is said in "Tao Lun" that the best is like water. It is also said in "Huainanzi Tianwen" that the cold air that accumulates yin is water."
"This also means that water can be good or cold, and the same is true for aquatic apes."
"The good water ape is the merit water ape, and the cold water ape is the Xuanyin water ape."
"The Xuanyin Water Ape is exactly the opposite of the Merit Water Ape. Not only does it not perform meritorious deeds, it is cruel and easy to kill, and its temperament is extremely violent."
Bi Ruidong looked at the water ape that had closed its eyes and been absorbing a steady stream of blood from the top of its head, and knew that this water ape was no longer a merit water ape, but a Xuanyin water ape.
"Why did this meritorious water ape turn into a Xuanyin water ape?"
He Yidao said: "If this water ape is allowed to grow on its own, it will naturally grow slowly and eventually become a meritorious water ape. Therefore, this water ape became the Xuanyin water ape because it was deliberately cultivated by people.
.”
"And Xuanyin Water Ape can only be cultivated deliberately." Monk Liuru, who had been silent for the whole time, said.
Bi Ruidong and the others did not ask why anymore. They saw the aura of the Xuanyin water ape in front of them, and they understood why Li Tianzong deliberately cultivated this Xuanyin water ape.
This Xuanyin Water Ape has now reached the realm of Golden Elixir Dzogchen, and judging from its current situation, it seems that it is about to break through again.
When Bi Ruidong and the others discovered this water ape for the first time, this water ape was in the Zifu realm. Not long after that, the water ape was about to break through the golden elixir!
Power is always a big temptation.
"Uncle and Master seem to know that there is a Xuanyin Water Ape here as soon as they arrive at Zilang Lake."
He Yidao nodded and said: "That's right, but I didn't expect that this Xuanyin water ape has grown to this point."
"How did you know?"
"Because of the altars built by the villagers outside."
He Yidao was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at the lake above his head.
"I have seen this altar in Master's inheritance. This is a formation altar created by a demon sect called the Demon Ape Sect to cultivate demon apes."
"Amitabha." Monk Liuru recited the Buddha's name, and then said: "In fact, there once was a demon cultivator sect in Qionghu, and its leader once cultivated a Xuanyin water ape."
After saying this, Monk Liuru became silent.
"I know that this Demonic Ape Sect was once very ferocious and committed many evil deeds. With the power of the mountain guardian beast 'Water God', it became the most popular in the land of Central Continent. However, it was finally annihilated by my Heavenly Sword Sect."
Monk Liuru shook his head and said: "Actually, it was the Tianjian Sect and the Litian Sect who jointly annihilated the Demon Ape Sect at that time."
Monk Liuru does not mean to deny the achievements of the Tianjian Sect.
