Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 21 The Purpose of Practice

Overlord the secret realm?

When he heard the news, Ma Yi'ao's face was a little unhappy.

This matter was a bit out of his control. I saw him having a headache, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Have you heard of this place?"

Ma Yi'ao nodded, and he was right, I know - as the so-called dragon has nine sons, each of them is different, the nine sons, one is called prisoner cattle, the other is called Yazi, the third is called mocking wind, the fourth is Pu Lao, the fifth is Suan Ni, and the sixth is Ba Ba. Xia, Qibigan, Babeixi, Jiuchiwen, Nahaxia, also known as Bixi, is shaped like a turtle. It is good at carrying heavy loads throughout its life and has great strength. It is said that Baxia often carried three mountains and five mountains on his back in ancient times, making waves in rivers, lakes and seas. Later, it was subdued by Dayu and used to control the water. It never thought that the flood would be cured, but the wildness reappeared, so a large stone tablet was brought to Dayu, with the deeds of water control engraved on it. .

All of the above are myths, but myths are also a part of history. This thing is a great monster handed down from the prehistoric era; as for Ba Xia's secret realm, it is said that Ba Xia is buried in the tomb. Legend has it that there are hidden caves in which many treasures and spirits are hidden. Objects have been pursued by countless practitioners and night walkers for thousands of years.

After listening to Ma Yi'ao's explanation, I immediately understood, but this place is illusory, and it is really not easy to find it.

For thousands of years, countless people have been looking for it, but no one has been able to reach it. What does it mean?
First, this legend is very likely to be false. There is no master in the world, so it is very likely that it was fabricated by others to deceive ghosts; second, even if there is, why so many seniors can't find it, and We will be able to overtake on a curve, and we will find it all at once?
Trouble!
My heart almost skipped a beat, feeling that the matter was closed, but after a long silence, Ma Yi'ao made two phone calls in front of us.

The first call was to his aunt Huang Qianye's contact person, saying that he was going to leave for a while, and hoped that she could send someone to take care of his master, while the second call was very brief, just saying A few words: "I want to see Martin. No matter where he is, I hope he will arrive in Yangcheng in three days. You know the place."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and said to the little Zhong Huang next to him, "Brother Zhong, Master will ask you to take care of him."

The titles between the seniors and brothers are quite interesting. They don't call each other seniors, but call each other "Brother". Xiao Zhonghuang called Ma Yi'ao "Brother Ma" and "Brother Little Ma". It's all understandable, but when Ma Yi'ao called Xiao Zhonghuang "Brother Zhong", I was a little confused.

For this reason, I also specifically asked, but did not get an answer.

This seems to be a tacit agreement by convention.

Ma Yi'ao didn't explain his thoughts, but Xiao Zhong Huang guessed it all at once, and said, "Take me with you."

The man shook his head and said no, even though Aunt Huang was entrusted, there must be one person by Master's side, I don't trust the others, only you can I leave with peace of mind.

Xiao Zhonghuang was very worried, saying that if you go, you will be close to death?

Ma Yi'ao smiled, stretched out his hand, stroked Xiao Zhonghuang's head, smiled dotingly, and said don't worry, my fate is hard, didn't Hong Xiazi tell my fortune, saying that I can live to be 40 years old... …

Xiao Zhong Huang curled his lips and said that he was 40 years old, which sounded like he was coming soon.

This brother was chatting, I was listening, and suddenly, Ma Yi'ao turned his head, smiled at me, and said: "Brother Hou, are you afraid of death?"

what?
I was really surprised to be asked such a topic all of a sudden. I was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but if I figure out why I'm dying, I think I can convince myself to overcome it."

Ma Yi'ao smiled with satisfaction, grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and said that this time, I plan to take you with me. As for why, there is only one answer, and that is the person I was looking for just now, the guy named Martin. His father had been to the Baxia Secret Realm and survived. According to him, his father had seen something in the Baxia Secret Realm, which was very similar to the legendary Ruo Shui.

"Weak water?"

I immediately became excited, and upon hearing my words, Ma Yi'ao nodded, and said solemnly: "Yes, it's the weak water that's three thousand weak waters drink one scoop."

He looked at me calmly, while I took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go, just tell me what you need to do."

Ma Yi'ao said: "The road you are about to take is very difficult, and no one can complete it for you, so you need to work hard on your own, whether it is getting the medicine related to crossing the catastrophe, or crossing the catastrophe itself—— Of course, you can rest assured that in this process, as long as you work hard enough, I will try my best to help you achieve it."

This man's words made me feel at ease.

It is well said in "The Internationale", "There has never been a savior, nor does it depend on a fairy emperor." People who expect others to help you arrange everything have always been cowards.

Although I am very grateful to Ma Yi'ao, what I enjoy more is the equal and free friendship rather than attachment.

Just like Lao Jin before me.

After Ma Yi'ao ordered everything, he handed over his master Wang Chaoan, who had become a vegetative state, to Xiao Zhonghuang's care, while he took me and boarded the car to Yangcheng.

After a lot of tossing and turning, the two finally arrived at Fourteen Village, came to the courtyard with the tightly sealed gate, opened the iron lock, walked in, and a huge figure appeared, standing in front of it was the fat girl who was as fat as a mountain. Hua, yelled at Ma Yi'ao aggrievedly: "Brother Ma, you are finally back, you know, I'm going to starve to death these days..."

She yelled loudly, and the words of another girl, Heini, came from the water tank: "You are lying, when you are eating, which time did you not eat the most?"

Fat Flower cried and said, eating steamed buns every day, there is no oil or water, who can eat enough?

Ma Yi'ao looked dotingly at this fat girl who was acting like a baby with him, took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket, handed it to her, and said to buy some sauced beef and barbecued pork, and eat together at night.

"Great!"

Fat Hua cheered, and then walked towards the door. Hai Ni, who was climbing on the edge of the huge water tank, saw me and said, "Oh, I know you. What's your name? Fat Hua keeps nagging about you..."

Fat flower talking about me?
I could hear goose bumps on my back, but Ma Yi'ao said with a smile: "His name is Hou Mo, from now on he will be called Brother Hou."

Hai Ni respected Ma Yi'ao, and when she heard this, she obediently called out, "Brother Hou."

I nodded and said yes, hello.

Ma Yi'ao asked Haini, "Nothing happened recently, right?"

Hai Ni thought for a while, and then said: "There is no major issue, but there is a minor issue—Grandpa Li's daughter-in-law came over to make a fuss once, insisting that he used to be a landlord, and he had hidden treasures at home, and it was a decision to move here now." She has given someone else the idea, and she won't allow it..."

Hearing this, Ma Yi'ao's originally clear face turned gloomy, and he said, "Next time she comes again, ask Fei Hua to call her directly."

Hai Ni squinted her eyes and smiled, saying yes.

Ma Yi'ao led me into the house, saw my puzzled face, and said to me: "Master Li and Master Liu used to be members of our Ranger Alliance, and they were both practitioners. It's a pity that they encountered waves in the 70s and [-]s. I was ruined and never recovered. In my later years, I encountered unfilial sons and daughters, and life was a bit difficult. When I encountered them, I brought them back here to support them, and fulfilled some responsibilities..."

He said that these two people were the two old men dozing off on the bamboo chair when I came here last time. Xiao Zhonghuang was not polite to them, but other than him, the others were quite polite.

It turned out to be the case.

The two sat down, and I followed Ma Yi'ao's words and asked: "The Ranger Alliance, so you should all be human beings, not nightcrawlers, right?"

Ma Yi'ao nodded, saying yes.

I opened my mouth, but didn't speak, and Ma Yi'ao is so smart, he understood what I meant at once, and said, "You want to ask, why ordinary people can compete with the gifted and unique night crawler? Bar?"

I'm right, to be honest, I don't have much contact with these people, but judging from the situation that day, the nightcrawlers are indeed very strong, especially when they turned into monsters and revealed their true colors, one or two were terrifyingly fierce.

"You're right, but you have to know that in essence, nightcrawlers are no different from humans at this moment. We have all gone through tens of millions of years of evolution, and in the world of things In the process of selection, we give up some things and gain some things again—the part we give up is not abandoned, but becomes a recessive gene, hidden in the huge DNA, but if we get enough Stimulation, correct guidance, will stimulate it again, so from a philosophical point of view, every biological individual is a treasure house..."

He talked eloquently, and seeing my confused face, he couldn't help but smile: "Sorry, I used to study biology. In simple words, nightcrawlers and humans have the same evolutionary direction, but everyone's obvious It’s just that the sex genes are different, and it may be more difficult for people to stimulate their instincts, but as a group that has dominated the world for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, our greatest advantage lies in inheritance.”

My mind suddenly cleared up, and I said, "It's what you call a 'practice', right?"

Ma Yi'ao didn't hide his secrets, and explained to me: "Cultivation, this is a very broad term, and there are many methods, but whether it is Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Christ, Astra, Lingjiao, Yoga and ancient witchcraft, to trace back to the source, are both a process of self-cultivation, that is, the process of finding the true self and the real self, and this "true self" is mysterious and mysterious, but in the end it is to find and unlock the secrets hidden in one's body. The key to the treasury is expected to transcend life and death, cut off pain, not be burdened by things, and finally achieve immortality, even immortality, the coexistence of heaven and earth, and the state of returning to nature..."

I was shocked when I heard him say this, and couldn't help but said: "In other words, your practice doesn't exist to fight against night walkers?"

Ma Yi'ao let out a long sigh, saying that the so-called confrontation is nothing more than a path, the real path lies in eternal life...
