"It's already amazing that I can cultivate to the point where I can live to be over a hundred years old! I'm already very content."
Zhou Kao thought for a while after hearing this and said with a smile: "That makes sense."
I was thinking, it seems that life span and immortality are not so absolute.
For deer, a generation is five years. If a deer has cultivated to the maximum lifespan of humans and has been able to live for more than twenty generations, it can be called an ancestor.
So, can Yu Niang be considered an ancestor?
Yu Niang, who was in an emo state, shuddered all over and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Zhou Kao's mind was clear, and he said to himself:
"Time is long, and life is between heaven and earth, and we can live a hundred years."
"But compared to the universe, we are but a mayfly."
"Life and death."
Humans can live for seventy or eighty years. Seventy or eighty years! How can that be the same as floating around? But what is a mayfly?
The deer carrying Zhou Kao didn't understand what Zhou Kao said, but he just felt that it was very attractive and that the words spoken by the human being who made the mountain lion specially invite him were very profound.
Meanwhile, Yu Niang silently said in her heart: "Hey, my dear, don't be afraid. My sister's family has many things that can prolong life. She can ask for a few of them when the time comes.
At worst, when my husband dies, he can enter the hell created by my dragon clan, and then we can stay together forever.
If all else fails, I will go look for your reincarnation, and then I will solve the mystery of your pregnancy, and we can be husband and wife for generations to come!
In short, Zhou Kao's life, next life, and next life
Yu Niang has already thought of everything.
Suddenly, a cheerful and cheerful voice of a queen came from the front: "Hahaha, what a great saying! Compared with the heaven and earth, we are just mayflies. All things are born between heaven and earth, so who is not like this?"
"Hey, here you are. Sister Yueying asked me to invite you here."
I heard my sister's laughter and saw that we had arrived.
Lu'er reluctantly put Zhou Kao down.
"Friend, please come in!"
Although it was a female voice, it was so powerful that it shook the forest in front of them. The spirit deer jumped and slipped into the gaps between the trees and forests.
Then he stopped, turned around, and looked at Zhou Kao with his bright black eyes, as if asking him to come in.
Zhou Kao smiled, raised his hand to push away the pine branches in front of him, bent down, and the pine branches shook, and dew fell on his blue shirt, which was clean.
His eyes were as dark and bright as the morning stars. He walked in and said sorry for disturbing you, and his vision suddenly widened.
This is a wide and flat ground with a large green banana leaf in the middle. On the banana leaf are placed all kinds of fruits and medicines. On the stone platform in front, lies a huge and plump black tiger.
It was a black tiger with fur as white as rolled charcoal silk, yet it had an aura of majesty without even being angry.
At first glance, its body length was more than ten feet. Its tail casually dropped down and fluttered. When it stood up, its forehead was almost as high as Zhou Kao from the ground. Its black eyes looked at Zhou Kao with a sense of tranquility.
What attracts people's attention the most is the pair of black pupils. When you look into them, it seems as if your mind is frightened away.
Zhou Kao approached, and at this moment, under the shining sunlight, a golden line appeared on the forehead of the black tiger, running through its spine and reaching the tip of its tail.
What a beautiful golden tiger with black eyes and moon shadow.
Yueying obviously knew what Zhou Kao was going to do. She took a look at Zhou Kao's backpack and explained to him.
"Sister, I am the mountain lord of this place. I have heard that a great man has come here from afar. Coincidentally, a banquet is about to begin, so I have come to invite him to the feast. I will not delay him for too long."
"Okay, Brother Zhou, since you've spread this reputation, Master Zhang will host a banquet for us academy classmates tonight to celebrate!"
Zhou Kao's classmates in Beiguo County heard that the demon disrupting the production of peach blossom wine in Taohua Village had been vanquished by him. They drank heavily in the tavern, reminiscing about his deeds and looking forward to Master Zhang's evening banquet!
Some people also have strong opinions about this.
"You're so brave, catching a monster all by yourself."
"Humph! What do you mean by catching a monster? Killing a fish is also called catching a monster? And according to what the village doctor VII1 (three) IIer Cumin said, the scourge of Taohua Village is just a corpse that has turned into a spirit. Anyone with the courage can get rid of it!"
"Well, that's not right. This Mr. Zhou must be a remarkable man. He didn't even accept the reward offered by the county magistrate, which shows that he has a good character."
"He's just a scholar, meddling in the matter of exorcising demons. Isn't that too much?"
Several demon hunters were talking there, completely ignoring the gazes of the people around them. However, seeing the villagers' unhappy looks, one of them coughed lightly to remind his companions not to be too arrogant.
Zhou Kao's classmates couldn't stand it any longer. They slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "Where are you from? Tell me your name! You think you can slander a scholar from Beiguo County?!"
"How dare you! We are..."
boom!
Another person slammed the table and stood up: "How dare you! You are so arrogant here, just because you are jealous of Zhou Yixian's achievements in eliminating demons! Don't use your backing to bully others.
No matter how great one is, can he be as great as the current emperor? ? All of us in the five major academies are disciples of the emperor.
Even if you're suing in front of the emperor, do you think anyone in my Beiguo County would be afraid?! Tell me your name and see if I won't sue the higher-ups and sentence you to a charge of disturbing the land!
"..."
"..."
Several demon hunters looked at each other, their faces turning pale and blue.
The man who had his eyes wide open with anger just now now had a red face and clenched fists. Their magic tools and spells for exorcising demons were ineffective against demons.
But it is absolutely unacceptable to use it against the scholars of the Dayu Dynasty.
Even if they succeed, they will definitely be investigated thoroughly by the imperial court.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from the man's forehead, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
The more experienced among the group quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, bowing repeatedly to the scholars and saying, "I apologize for any offense I just caused. I hope you will forgive me. I was so anxious when I heard that I had made such a wasted trip."
As he spoke, he took out two ingots of official silver from his pocket.
He held the silver in both hands and bowed to the people around him: "We are definitely not the kind of people who would harm loyal and good people. We have been rude today, so I will just treat this as a drink of apology.
Seeing this, the students' tense expressions finally relaxed a little.
Someone snorted softly and smoothed out the non-existent wrinkles on his sleeves.
Zhou Yixian is now the face of Beiguo County, and his classmates at Xiliu Academy are indebted to him.
Under the leadership of Master Zhang, Zhou Kao always helps his classmates to grab, no, attract the girls they like.
Chapter 31 Mr. Zhou, you are here
"I am the lord of this mountain. I have heard that a great man has come here from afar. Coincidentally, a banquet is about to begin, so I have come to invite him to the feast. I will not delay him for too long."
"My name is Yueying, what is the name of the outstanding person?"
Zhou Kao bowed and said, "I don't deserve to be called a great man. I am Zhou Kao from Beiguo County, also known as Zhou Yixian. It's a coincidence that I have met you."
Yu Niang was in the snail shell, curled her lips, and learned something at the perfect time.
Zhou Kao admired the plump and beautiful figure of the black tiger.
Although the black tiger was in the form of a walking beast at this time, it still had a unique beauty in Zhou Kao's eyes.
Let me make it clear first, Zhou Kao is not a fan of Fu Rui.
Probably, probably not.
Then I saw a bronze tripod next to the moon shadow. A little deer jumped over, untied the package on its back, and poured all the Polygonatum inside into the tripod.
After the deer retreated, monkeys came climbing over.
Put all kinds of large and plump fruits into the tripod.
Then the fox brought the spiritual herbs, and the white snake brought the ginseng, and put them all in. Zhou Kao also threw a few wisdom beads in his arms under the surprised eyes of the deer.
He knew that it was a good thing for them and could be used.
Yueying narrowed her eyes and watched Zhou Kao's actions, but did not stop him. She just whispered thank you.
Yueying's voice was like a tiger's roar as she spoke:
"This is the treasure of this palace."
"Every five years, I put many spiritual fruits into it and refine the spiritual liquid. Drinking it can extend my life by one year and strengthen my body. It is very beneficial to my cultivation. I am using this to become a mountain king."
"I'm grateful for the difficulty the spirit beasts in the mountains have in cultivating. Without help from noble people, I can only use this method to help these little guys."
Zhou Kao was thoughtful after hearing Yueying's words.
practice?
Yueying nodded slightly.
Then he said:
"Well, I'm about to teach these little guys about cultivation. Is Mr. Zhou willing to listen to me?"
After hearing what Yueying said, Zhou Kao asked Yu Niang in his heart whether he could listen to this sermon.
Listen, my dear. You won't be able to practice what you hear anyway. The path you should follow is that of a peerless hero, the way of a great sage, the path of great achievements favored by the West! You are destined to despise and not follow the path of immortality, the path that severs ties to the human world.
Hearing Yu Niang's praise and such heartfelt words, Zhou Kao felt a little embarrassed.
How could he not know that he was so good? He just wanted to pass the imperial examination and do something that made him happy.
I just want him to have less sand in his eyes, and do my best to make everyone's life better.
This is nothing, right?!
It’s okay to listen, it will broaden your horizons.
Zhou Kao then put down the bamboo basket, straightened his clothes, and replied with a bow:
"I have my wish, but I dare not ask for my ear."
Yu Niang also showed up at this time. Since the other party wanted to preach, she had to give him respect.
"My name is Yu Niang, I am here to greet you."
Yueying had noticed a strange aura around Zhou Kao a long time ago, but she didn't take the initiative to ask.
Those who are destined to be together will show up, and it is obvious that this elf has a following.
Yueying silently returned the greeting without saying anything else.
Nonsense, how could this girl, who is obviously a dragon, not hear what I just said?
"Please take a seat, both of you."
It's still that loud, royal sister voice.
It looked like a Taoist temple, with Tiger Moon Shadow sitting on the top bluestone, while Yu Niang, with a rosy face, sat close to Zhou Kaozheng on the side.
Yu Niang was not interested in this preaching. She was a dragon seed and she didn't need to practice when she reached a certain age.
The race is blessed with natural advantages.
Her starting point was higher than the upper limit that these footless beasts in the mountains could reach.
Moreover, she was still interested in getting closer to Zhou Kao.
Many wild beasts that had gained spiritual powers sat down one by one. Monkeys scratched their ears and cheeks, pythons coiled up and flicked their tongues, and birds folded their wings and landed on the branches.
This was something Zhou Kao had never seen before. Usually, these were either small animals he rescued or monsters he killed.
As soon as he saw these cute little animals, Zhou Kao couldn't help but want to use his skills to rub them.
Yueying glanced over, and then slowly spoke:
"Today, a distinguished person and his friends came to the banquet. I would like to preach that when cultivating, the most important thing is the primordial essence! The so-called primordial essence is the source of all living things, flesh and blood.
Ordinary martial artists and those who follow unorthodox methods all say that essence is qi, blood, tendons and bones. This is actually a far cry from reality. Practicing with this approach is like trying to catch fish by climbing a tree; the more you practice, the further away you get.
"What is Yuan Jing?"
"The Great Dao says—"
"In the midst of trance, seek the image; in the darkness, seek the true essence."
"Being and non-being enter into each other through this, so how can one achieve this?"
"The founder of Taoism said in the Daojing that the Tao is vague and indistinct. Within the vague and indistinct, there are images; within the vague and indistinct, there are objects; within the deep and dark, there is essence."
“Search with God.”
