Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 4: Cheat fairy
When Xu Muyang woke up, the sky was already filled with stars.
There was a bonfire not far away from him. Under the light of the fire, a young man was sitting next to him.
As he was about to sit up, the young man held him down: "Don't move, the medicine has just been applied."
Medicine?
What medicine?
Xu Muyang was about to ask, but he saw the medicine bottle in the young man's hand.
"Bai Yu Powder?" Xu Muyang exclaimed, looking at the shape of the bottle, it was clearly his own medicine.
Only then did he realize that all the drug emotions in his body had been collected by the young man, but were left at his feet.
"Who are you, how dare you touch my things?" Xu Muyang was extremely angry.
The items a monk carries with him are often related to his family and life and should not be touched lightly.
His storage bag was destroyed in the last battle, so his belongings could only be kept with him. Unexpectedly, they were turned upside down by a mortal boy.
At this moment, he sat up and grabbed the air with his right hand. A simple and heavy bronze mirror from a distance flew into his palm. Because of the use of spiritual energy, the blood in his body surged, and he spit out a large mouthful of blood. However, Xu Muyang desperately put away the bronze mirror first, and then grabbed a jade slip next to it, but this time he did not use the remote control again. The method of photographing objects from space.
The young man has replied: "I also know that it is not good to go through other people's things, but you and I are both injured, and we will die without medicine."
Only then did Xu Muyang realize that his wound had been smeared with a thick layer of white jade powder, feeling that this young man was changing the dressing for himself.
Not only him, but also the young man's back was smeared with it. This white jade powder is a rare thing. In fact, only a small amount is enough. Using it like that young man is a waste of money.
Xu Muyang's tone softened a lot: "So that's the case, but you are too bold. Do you know that although the Immortal Family has elixirs, if you don't use them in the right way, not only will you not benefit from them, but you will also suffer from them. You will suffer from it. You will die if you don’t use the medicine, and you will die if you use the wrong medicine!”
"Yes." Unexpectedly, the young man nodded: "I know, so I opened your wound and took a look. I thought there should be medicine on your wound. The white jade powder you mentioned, I and I The medicine on your wound has been tested repeatedly and it should be correct."
Xu Muyang was completely speechless.
The boy used the medicine after testing his wounds. No wonder he chose the right one among so many medicines, Bai Yusan.
Without this white jade powder, he might not have woken up so quickly.
Xu Muyang said: "The injury I suffered was superficial, but actually it was domineering energy entering my body and messing up my meridians. Bai Yusan can help me stabilize my spiritual energy and repair my meridians. I deliberately didn't let the wound heal. , just to see the blood and take effect faster. But it is overkill to treat your trauma, and the medicine is not right. You should use the bottle of intermittent ointment next to it."
"So that's it. I'm still wondering why this immortal family's elixir can't even cure a skin injury." The young man suddenly realized that he had already picked up the intermittent ointment, poured out some ointment and applied it on himself , Sure enough, I only felt a chill on my back, and even the pain was a little less.
When he took the thing, he didn't ask the owner what he wanted. Xu Muyang wanted to stop him, but considering that the other party had saved him, it would be stingy to stop him, so he had to give up.
The young man sat back down next to him and said, "My name is Tang Jie. What's the matter with you?"
Actually, he heard the golden-armored **** call the other person's name last time, but at this moment he was pretending not to know.
"...Xu Muyang." Xu Muyang answered reluctantly.
Hearing this answer, Tang Jie smiled.
This answer means that Xu Muyang did not find himself in the last battle.
Of course, it may be that he noticed it and didn't care. In the eyes of immortals, mortals like himself should be like ants.
Who would pay more attention to ants?
In this case, the next thing will be much easier to handle.
"Tang Jie?" Xu Muyang chewed on the name and frowned: "This name is too murderous and unlucky!"
Tang Jie said with a smile: "When I was born, there was a change in the dark clouds in the Middle Earth, and there was also a calamity of golden clouds swallowing the moon. Some fortune tellers said that strange phenomena in the sky were a sign of great misfortune. They said that I should be born in response to the calamity. If you are born, you will suffer from three disasters and nine disasters. It will bring harm to the common people. It will defeat your father, your mother, your friends, your wife, all the people close to you. It will even defeat the sky, the earth, all things, and the way of heaven. It is omnipotent, so I suggest that my parents give me a child. Named Tang Jie, the name corresponds to a calamity first, and it may turn the calamity into good luck."
"Absurd!" Xu Muyang shouted: "Under the way of heaven, everything rotates. Even the saints and immortals can only look up to it. Even the secrets of heaven are unpredictable, how dare you make false statements to overcome them? This fortune teller is disobedient and utters arrogant words. He deserves to be beaten to death with a stick!"
"There is no such thing as being beaten to death with a stick, but there is someone who can be beaten with a stick. Despite this, my parents still gave me this name in the end. Two years ago, I suffered a great disaster. Both my parents died, but I died. The younger generation...maybe he accepted this calamity." Tang Jie said casually.
Whether Tang Jie met Tang Jie and resurrected after death, or whether Tang Jie time traveled to Tang Jie, to be honest, Tang Jie himself was a little confused.
But no matter what, in this life, he is Tang Jie!
After thinking for a while, Xu Muyang asked: "Are you from Xiaohe Village?"
Tang Jie shook his head: "I was just passing by and happened to see you pass out after killing a group of thieves."
When he said this, he patted the package that had been prepared beside him, and then dealt with the medicine on the ground by himself, using the medicine to hide his inner nervousness.
He was nervous, not because he lied, but because he lied to an immortal!
This is the first time he has faced an immortal!
But he deceived the immortal when they first met, which can be described as extremely audacious.
However, he had to do this!
When Tang Jie saw the white-clothed immortal appear, he knew that the opportunity of his life had arrived.
The door to immortality is hard to find, and the road to immortality is elusive. Many mortals pursue immortality, but few can achieve it. Even if they meet an immortal by chance, it is difficult to give them guidance.
Although he has been searching hard before, once he has found it, it does not mean that the immortal will accept him.
It's just that Tang Jie knew how important it was to embark on the path of cultivating immortality in this world, so he would take the chance even if it was only one in ten thousand chance.
Although he saved Xu Muyang, Xu Muyang killed the horse thief with his sword, but he also saved him. Speaking of which, Xu Muyang did not owe him anything. On the contrary, without this battle, Xu Muyang would not have made the same mistake. Relapse, after all, he owes the other party more.
That's why he couldn't admit that he was from Xiaohe Village.
He wanted this immortal to owe him a favor. Only in this way could he possibly obtain that ray of immortality.
For this possibility, he can pursue, seek, risk his life, and of course he can also cheat.
Fortunately, when he came out, Xu Muyang was already in a coma and could not find him. From what he said just now, Tang Jie also judged that Xu Muyang did not notice him in the last battle, so He said he was just passing by, which totally worked.
The only thing he didn't dare to confirm was whether Xu Muyang, as an immortal, would be able to detect his lies.
This is a gamble, betting on the unpredictable nature of people's hearts. Even immortals may not have the ability to see into people's hearts.
At least not everyone has it!
Tang Jie resolutely decided to gamble!
When he won the bet, he made an immortal owe him a favor.
If you lose the bet, it is just a small deception, and it is not worthy of death.
Since this immortal kills monsters and evil spirits, he will not kill himself just for a lie.
Besides, so what if it’s really beheaded?
If you don’t become an immortal, you will become a benevolent person!
The experiences of the villagers in Xiaohe Village have made Tang Jie clearly see how tragic the fate of a lower-class ant is, and Tang Jie will change this fate at all costs.
Sure enough, when he heard Tang Jie say that he was not from Xiaohe Village, Xu Muyang was obviously stunned: "You are not from Xiaohe Village? Then what's the matter with the injury on your back?"
"The man you beat away galloped away on horseback. I couldn't dodge and was slashed by him." Tang Jie replied calmly.
Compared with the panic in the first sentence, Tang Jie's second answer was much calmer.
The lie was not exposed at the beginning, which meant that Tang Jie had won the two most important key points.
Xu Muyang was already stunned. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "I see, thank you little brother for saving me."
"Immortal masters act chivalrously and kill horse thieves righteously. What I do is nothing."
"After all, it was still a step too late and failed to save the villagers of Xiaohe Village."
"I believe they will be grateful if I can avenge them." Tang Jie replied calmly, as if the villagers of Xiaohe Village really had nothing to do with him.
Seeing this expression, Xu Muyang had no doubts anymore and could only sigh, thinking about how he got involved in such a heavy cause and effect.
The Immortal family attaches great importance to cause and effect. If there is unresolved cause and effect, it will often leave a crack in the heart.
This rift may not seem like much at ordinary times, but among the fourteenth levels of the Fifth Realm of Cultivation, one of them is the inner demon level.
If there are gaps in the heart, the inner demons will arise. If there are tens of thousands of gaps in the heart, the inner demons will be endless. At that time, no matter how much you have cultivated to reach the heavens and the earth, it will be difficult for gods to save you. Therefore, it is something that every cultivator needs to be careful about.
It should be noted that this inner demon has nothing to do with morality. It does not mean that if you save me, I must repay you, nor does it mean that everything must have a cause and effect. It is only related to personal character and beliefs.
If Tang Jie was ganging up with a demon who believed in repaying kindness with the strong and the weak, then even if the other party immediately stood up and beheaded Tang Jie, there would be no inner demons, because that was the way he believed in.
If he kills him, he is following his own path. If he doesn't kill him, he may create inner demons.
Therefore, inner demons are not divided into good and evil. They are just the conscious retaliation caused by the actions that the practitioners have done in the process of cultivating immortality that are contrary to their original intentions and beliefs.
For this reason, monks often have firm beliefs. Once they believe in a certain idea, behavior, or point of view, they will not change easily.
If your beliefs change midway, it is likely that you will regret what you have done, and that is when inner demons will arise.
It’s hard to deceive your true heart. Even if you have forgotten things, you still remember them in your true heart. Inner demons arise naturally.
Xu Muyang came from a noble family. Although he was not a perfect saint, he still had the concept of repaying kindness.
Now that someone has "helped" me, I have to pay it back no matter what.
At this moment, he took out a bottle of elixir and stuffed it into Tang Jie's hand: "This bottle of Lingrun elixir has the effect of nourishing the soul, channeling the spirit and strengthening the Qi. Even if it is taken by a mortal, it can strengthen the body and eliminate diseases. You If you help me, I will give you this medicine, and you can also take the bottle of intermittent ointment."
Cause and effect are necessary, but what happened is a science.
A monk's life is long, and he has countless experiences in his life, and all kinds of causes and effects are entangled in him. If everything is serious, he really can't do anything else.
So each of the monks has his own way to solve the problem. The simplest one is to use a bottle of elixir to end everything as it is now.
Don't worry about whether it's enough. The inner demons come from your heart. As long as you feel that the reward is enough and you feel clear of guilt, then there is no problem.
For this reason, techniques such as selective ignorance, self-deception, and self-comfort have become essential lessons for monks. However, if such methods are discovered and cracked by others, they are likely to stir up the inner demons of their opponents in just a few words. If you don't fight, you will be defeated.
In the battle between immortals, someone can defeat the enemy with words. This is the key. For the same reason, most monks keep secret about their experiences to avoid being caught.
Xu Muyang's method of self-deception is obviously not up to par, so he uses a bottle of good Lingrun Dan. If you have a thick skin and a dark heart, I will give you the bit of White Jade Powder you use. Return.
Tang Jie is considered the leader among them. He cheated before he became an immortal, but he felt no guilt in his heart. He actually looked down upon the elixir and put it back and said calmly: "I don't want it."
He doesn't understand inner demons, but he understands human feelings. To a certain extent, the two are the same thing.
Xu Muyang wants to use a bottle of elixir to repay the favor, which is absolutely unacceptable.
Seeing that he didn't want it, Xu Muyang hurriedly said: "If you think it's not enough, I..."
Tang Jie has stood up: "It's just a matter of course to help, the immortal master doesn't need to worry about it. By the way, I see you are coming from the east, and you must be going to Anyang Mansion~IndoMTL.com~ I happen to be going there too, Why don't we go together all the way? The immortal master happens to be injured, so I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience on the way. Maybe I can take care of him."
Of course Tang Jie didn't know where Xu Muyang was going, but all the way from here was Anyang Mansion, so it was definitely right to say that he was going to Anyang Mansion first.
As long as he follows this person, Tang Jie is not in a hurry about cultivating immortality.
Long years of official career have long made him understand that if you want to hug a thigh, you must first make that thigh like you.
On Xu Muyang’s side, he felt like crying without tears.
You said that you should just say the first few sentences and do it casually, and don’t mind it. Xu Muyang was thick-skinned, and maybe he comforted himself by saying that this was something he didn’t want me to repay, considering that the other party had not suffered any harm or harm. Pay the consequences.
Unexpectedly, he followed up with the sentence "Let's go all the way together," but it was a bit troublesome.
The other party has just helped me. If I refuse, it will be too unkind and goes against my true intentions.
A monk will do anything except what goes against his true nature!
Actually, it's not impossible for him to leave now. The inner demons born from this little thing may not be able to do anything to him.
After all, the calamity of inner demons is accumulated over a lifetime.
It's just a matter of cause and effect, and it is a habit that every monk has formed over the years. This is like opening the door to do business. No matter how big or small the business is, every transaction must be done carefully.
At this moment, Xu Muyang thought about it and could only accept his companions first.
In his opinion, the other party is just a twelve-year-old kid. There will always be times when he needs his help, and he can settle the cause and effect by himself when the time comes.
Tang Jie smiled happily when he learned that Xu Muyang was willing to go with him.
The door of opportunity is already open, the next thing to do is to seize it.
Since God sent me to this world but didn’t give me a golden finger.
Then create your own!
