This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 67: Keep a Fate
Zhuang Lin's recitation of "The True Scripture of Hu Ben Shaking the Mountain" was very exaggerated, and the true meaning of Hu Ben's three forces sounded like gods and demons.

However, Zhuang Lin did not think so, because although the Dharma lineage was broken, the aftertaste and feeling were still there, so the peak moment in ancient times definitely had such great power, but it was not easy to achieve.

Besides, this isn’t finished yet, so what we are talking about now is at least a vision!
Lu Jing, Yang Tianlei, Lu Cheng, and He Yuchen were simply fascinated by what they heard, and they also had no objection to the descriptions of the exercises, because even the "Tiger and Leopard Secret" and "Ploughing Hoof Skill" had various exaggerated descriptions.

In comparison, "The True Scripture of the Tiger and the Stupid Mountain" is obviously a real unique skill. What's wrong with being a little exaggerated?
Midnight passed by, and Zhuang Lin pointed out the essence of martial arts training to the four people and taught them the true martial arts classics, perhaps with the help of half a peach.

In short, in the second half of the night, with the help of Zhuang Lin, the four of them naturally entered the state of internal strength training without much effort.

This was the state Yang Tianlei had achieved after years of hard training, the state Lu Jing had held the secret manual for years but could not touch, and the state Lu Cheng and He Yuchen had sought but could not obtain.
The bonfire had gradually died down, and Zhuang Lin did not add any new firewood.

At dawn, Lu Cheng was the first to open his eyes, and after a few breaths, He Yuchen also opened his eyes.

The feeling brought by the practice in the middle of the night made the two of them feel as if they were reborn from a spiritual level. Then they looked around and saw Yang Tianlei and Lu Jing still practicing with their eyes closed.

The two did not dare to disturb him. After finding Zhuang Lin sitting there, they looked at each other and then knelt down to worship Zhuang Lin.

Lu Cheng and He Yuchen didn't say anything, just kept kowtowing.

"Alright, I'm only teaching you the techniques due to chance, not accepting you as my disciples. Don't let me down!"

Lu Cheng and He Yuchen had tears in their eyes, and they sighed in their hearts before straightening up.

"Thank you, senior." "Thank you, senior."

It would be great if the word "senior" could be changed to "master".
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Jing and Yang Tianlei also woke up. Their reactions were similar to the previous two, and they received similar responses.

However, although Zhuang Lin did not accept them as his disciples, they all knew that this favor was as heavy as a mountain.

Thanks to the grace of the martial arts transfer that night, the four felt that they would have a place in the martial arts world in the future.

It's not the so-called outstanding martial arts that the frog in the well used to brag about in the countryside, but one day he will truly step into the ranks of martial arts masters and be qualified to see the vast world!
Zhuang Lin looked at the sky and smiled.

"Don't be so shy. Even though you haven't slept all night, I don't think you're tired. The sky is gradually getting brighter, so we should continue on our journey!"

"Hey!" "It's Senior!"

Several people suppressed their inner emotions, responded quickly, and began to pack up.

Zhuang Lin didn't need to pack up, he just had to wait to go together. He stood up and walked to the edge of the mountain wall, looking at the pattern he had drawn last night. After thinking for a moment, he was about to reach out and wipe it off.

But at this moment, the ground not far from the campfire suddenly shook with a loud bang.

The sound was like someone smashing the ground upwards with a sledgehammer, startling Lu Jing and the other four so much that they instinctively grabbed their weapons and jumped to the four corners, pointing their swords and guns at the point in front of the campfire.

Zhuang Lin also had a serious expression. Perhaps he was too engrossed in enlightenment last night that he neglected to notice anything unusual.

Something has been here for a long time!

However, although Zhuang Lin was cautious, he was not very afraid.

If the person coming really had bad intentions, he wouldn't have made a noise to let them know. At the same time, Zhuang Lin waved his hand, and the wooden sword flew into his right hand. Although the four people around him were nervous, they also noticed the scene of taking objects from the air. However, they obviously didn't have time to be surprised by this.

About seven or eight steps away from the embers of the bonfire, the ground cracked slightly and bulged upwards little by little.

Then Lu Jing and the other four opened their mouths, their pupils slightly dilated, and their gazes kept rising with shock.
Even Zhuang Lin was shocked at this moment.

Amidst the patter of falling dirt and rocks, a humanoid monster, as tall as a small house, suddenly stood up from the ground in front of the campfire. Even a rough estimate would have put it at two feet tall, its shadow seeming to completely cover the mountain wall and the five people.
The four people were so nervous that their limbs were a little stiff. Even Zhuang Lin couldn't help but tighten the sword in his hand. This was the pressure brought by the visual level.

"Uh-huh."

After a low hum that hurt the eardrums, the huge monster slowly lowered its body, first its knees and then its upper body.

"Boom-"

The sound was like a landslide, and the wind blew away the nearby broken stones and dead branches, and even swept the bonfire into a cloud of dust. It also frightened Lu Jing and others so much that they almost ran away.
"Boom-"

Another sound, the earth trembled slightly, hundreds of birds in the mountains took flight in fright, and dewdrops fell from the nearby grass and trees like rain.
Lu Jing and the others reacted and were shocked beyond words. That mountain monster-like giant was actually bowing his head.
Several people turned their gazes slightly stiffly towards the direction where the giant was kowtowing. Zhuang Lin was standing at the edge of the mountain wall, holding a wooden sword and frowning slightly!
"Wuwuwu."

"Dong~" "Dong~" "Dong~".
The giant could not speak, but just whimpered and kowtowed to Zhuang Lin continuously.

Zhuang Lin understood and looked at the mountain wall behind him. There was a scribbled pattern he had drawn to help Lu Jing and the other four understand the true meaning of cultivation.
Although this giant, entangled in earth, rocks, and vegetation, looked terrifying, his sincerity and desire for the Tao seemed tangible in Zhuang Lin's spiritual perception and vision!

After a long pause, Zhuang Lin finally spoke. "Well, since we've met today, and you've so sincerely come forward to ask for my help, it's fate. I'll leave this map here, hoping you'll cultivate diligently. I don't ask for your protection, but I hope you'll cultivate kindness in your heart. Don't let your sincerity go to waste. If I ever learn of your evil deeds, I'll come and personally destroy you! Remember this!"

"Mmmmm, Mmmmm"

The giant, who looked like a mountain monster, made a series of excited noises, and then kowtowed repeatedly to Zhuang Lin.

Zhuang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, placed the wooden sword on the bookcase, and carried it on his back again.

"Take care of yourself! There are still a few of us, so we should leave."

After saying that, Zhuang Lin walked straight along the mountain pass to the path in the distance. Lu Jing and others swallowed their saliva, carefully passed by the giant mountain monster, and then trotted to catch up with Zhuang Lin in front.

"Dong~" "Dong~" "Dong~".
The mountain monster giant was still kneeling there, kowtowed repeatedly in the direction Zhuang Lin left.
After walking away, Zhuang Lin couldn't help but look back at the direction of the mountain wall, thinking about the original form of the mountain monster. It should not be an animal. Maybe it is the so-called mountain spirit?
This kind of monster is subtly integrated with the spiritual charm of the surrounding mountains. No wonder I didn't notice it for a moment.

The fact that he could do this shows his spirituality, and the fact that he appeared at that moment to ask for help is even more precious.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Lin's mood, which was already good, became even better. He looked at the four people behind him who were inexplicably emotional and smiled.

"We're in a hurry today, but don't let us fall behind. Let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Lin had already quickly gone away along the mountain path, and Lu Jing and others did not dare to delay at all and hurriedly chased after him.

However, the four of them were not calm at the moment, and their understanding of Senior Zhuang had also been further improved.

I've always felt that Senior Zhuang's martial arts and wisdom were not in line with his age, and now I've probably guessed it. It's ridiculous, really. I'm just too narrow-minded. I should have thought of it a long time ago.
Senior Zhuang is far from being just some martial arts master. He may have reached the legendary state of rejuvenation and returning to nature. He is close to being a god on earth. No wonder he can hunt down monsters!

Although the four of them had not yet exchanged their thoughts, the excitement on their faces was similar.

Needless to say, everyone was full of energy today and walked briskly.

And while they were on the road, the four of them could sometimes vaguely feel a warm current flowing through their bodies, especially in their legs.

At first I thought it was an illusion, but after doing it many times I realized that I had truly generated internal energy!
-
Zhuang Lin might not be able to completely integrate the geography in his memory with the current situation, and it might even be difficult for him to compare the changes in the geographical pattern between now and hundreds of years later, but he knew the approximate distance of this journey.

Although it is 1,500 miles away, the so-called Jingxiang area is actually still only within the scope of Jingzhou in Gujin.

Even Lu Jing and the other four had never traveled so far. The so-called wanderings of the martial arts world by these warriors were nothing more than their activities within Shangyong County in the past few years!

Only when he was on the road could Zhuang Lin truly understand the vastness of the world!
Four days passed, and Zhuang Lin led the four people on their journey while consolidating their martial arts training.

The way Zhuang Lin and others travel now is to take shortcuts by crossing mountains and hills. Except for occasionally stopping to practice martial arts when necessary, they don't waste too much time.

Sometimes, including Zhuang Lin, they couldn't tell where they were in the mountains.

Fortunately, Zhuang Lin didn't have to worry about them getting lost, because he was actually moving forward following the guidance of the energy in the bracelet. At most, there would be fewer people on the road.

On the morning of the fifth day, it had just rained heavily.

Feeling the direction of the water vapor flow, Zhuang Lin led a few people out of a dense forest. The light between the trees ahead became brighter and brighter.

Zhuang Lin jumped lightly and landed on the branch of a big tree in front of him like a willow catkin. Lu Jing and others behind him also jumped up and landed on the trunk of the same tree or nearby trees.

“Crash, la, la, la”

In the distance, there seemed to be a small waterfall on the cliff, continuously pouring water downwards, and when the people looked into the distance, they could see a river winding along the mountain!

"There's a boat on the river!" "Yes, I saw it too. There are people on the boat!"

There was a hint of excitement in the voices of several people. It was true that they had not encountered even a single person in the past few days. Instead, they had encountered strange things like spirits in the mountains more than once.

Seeing a boat with people on it, everyone was actually a little excited.

Because he had obtained some of the true meaning of Hu Ben in the Dharma lineage, Zhuang Lin's earth and wood methods made great progress in five days.

Moreover, as the saying goes, wind comes from tigers and clouds come from dragons, Zhuang Lin himself believes that the method of controlling the wind is already good enough, so as long as he wants, he can control the wind and fly at any time.

Also because of his improvement in the way of immortality, Zhuang Lin looked spotless after traveling through the mountains and forests for several days.

As for Lu Jing and the other four, they were a bit sloppy. In order to keep up with Zhuang Lin, they almost tried their best and became wild men.
Zhuang Lin ignored the excitement of the others and focused his eyes on the river. He took out the beads and felt the breath of the river. His expression became slightly serious.

Has it entered the water?
