You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

"This method says that as long as you have the five internal organs, six bowels and nine orifices, you can practice it." At this point, Xia Zhiming looked back at his tail and said a little embarrassedly: "I can barely put the five internal organs together by groping, but my snake body seems to be missing one of the nine orifices..."

It's not that he's shy, it's just that he's a little embarrassed to say this. There's a curse that goes, "Give birth to a son without an anus," but his current situation is even more outrageous - he doesn't have a **

"Hehehe~" Xiao Qingxin behind him suddenly started giggling.

"Hahaha..." Patriarch Bodhi also looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. After a while, he answered: "All living things in the world are born with nine orifices, and eight orifices when born from eggs. You should practice first. Read the scriptures and listen to the teachings every day and be diligent and attentive. After you transform into a human form, you will no longer have this trouble..."

"promise"

After the Dharma teaching was over, Xia Zhiming took his leave and went straight back to his own nest.

Different from the various bizarre realms of martial arts in previous online novels, his method can actually be summed up in one sentence - guide the qi and fluids, collect herbs and refine the elixir at the right time, and when the elixir is fully mature and the supernatural powers appear, you will be a celestial being.

After clearing his mind, Xia Zhiming looked up at the sky. It was already afternoon, a perfect time for cultivation. Xia Zhiming found a comfortable position and began to cultivate...

When the sun was about to set, Xia Zhiming was still a little confused when he was caught by Xiao Qingxin from the tree hole - he had just been practicing and hadn't fallen asleep, so how come it was already evening in the blink of an eye?

Until Bodhi Patriarch sat on the lotus platform again and the evening service began, Xiao Qingxin looked at him absent-mindedly and asked in confusion: "Zhiming, what's wrong with you?"

"I don't know, I always have a feeling that I'm living in a dream..." Xia Zhiming shook his snake tail lightly and felt his body. He always had a feeling that he couldn't get down to reality.

Xiao Qingxin saw that he was confused, so she didn't pay any attention to him. She spread out the scriptures in front of her and said excitedly: "Don't think too much. From now on, I will teach you to read the scriptures and learn to read from the beginning. I also want to see what you look like after you transform."

“Oh, oh~”

"Repeat after me—Qian: Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen..."

"Is this the Book of Changes?"

"Ah? Zhiming, have you studied this book?"

"I know a little bit, but I haven't studied it systematically."

"It would be even better if you have a foundation. Hey, don't interrupt me."

"Okay, okay..."

The little girl in Taoist robes before him began to read the scriptures earnestly, and Xia Zhiming quickly followed suit. Although he couldn't figure out one thing - why did you teach me to read starting with the Book of Changes? Are you afraid that I'll learn too fast?

Next to Xia Zhiming, Sun Wukong looked at the serious-looking little Taoist boy Qingyun in front of him, and for a moment he scratched his head and cheeks, looking confused.

All in all - these two little teachers are a bit too outrageous.

On the Yaotai, Patriarch Bodhi couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle as he watched the scene below.

I didn’t realize the time passed during my practice. Soon half a year passed, summer went away and it was winter solstice, and the weather was getting colder.

Xia Zhiming had a foundation from his previous life and quickly learned the ancient characters. On the other hand, Sun Wukong was also naturally intelligent, and both of them got the hang of it.

Xia Zhiming's practice was gradually getting on the right track. Unlike Sun Wukong, who became an immortal in more than three years, he had only just begun to refine his body in the past few months and was still far from transforming into a human. However, he had tangible benefits such as sharp ears and eyes, and a body as white as jade.

————Dividing——line————

Another morning, Xia Zhiming woke up from his meditation as usual and prepared to attend morning class. He saw a white, tender hand reaching into a tree hole. The small hand fumbled around and directly pulled him out of the tree hole...

Xia Zhiming was speechless. He looked at Qingxin in front of him and was about to speak when he saw the little Taoist boy exclaim in surprise: "It's only been a short time, Zhiming, and you've already refined your form?"

"This is..." Xia Zhiming was about to reply, but suddenly he felt something was wrong and looked up at the sky - although it was early morning, the sky was bright and the climate in the mountains was cool, it was a scene of summer!

The little Taoist boy didn't care about his hesitation to speak, and ran into the hall with Xia Zhiming and came to the familiar table.

Spreading out the Zhouyi on the table, Xiao Qingxin pointed to the first sentence on the page and spoke excitedly:

"I let you skip evening class yesterday. From today on, I will teach you to read the scriptures and learn to read. I also want to see what you look like after you transform."

"Come and repeat after me—Qian: Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen..."

Xia Zhiming was stunned for a moment, and moved his snake's tail slightly, feeling the long-lost sense of reality coming from the snake's body. Suddenly, he suddenly realized -

He had been practicing for the past six months in a dream?

Wait... why does this technique suddenly give me a sense of déjà vu?

Chapter 6 Do you want to go out and take a look?

Now, Xia Zhiming finally understood the meaning of the words that Patriarch Bodhi said before passing on his power...

This method calculates the life force of all things, and explores the past and future. It has both supreme opportunities and supreme terrors.

〖Remember not to tell anyone else.〗

When practicing this technique, he could directly deduce the universe. According to the technique, he could only practice for six hours each day, from midnight to noon. This meant that each practice could take at most half a year - wasn't this just a simulator for cultivating immortality?

As for chance, are you still worried about not having it now that you've already started the simulator? As for that so-called supreme terror, perhaps you'll have to ask Bodhi Patriarch again...

Thinking of this, Xia Zhiming couldn't help but look up at Bodhi Patriarch on the Yaotai, and then he felt a knock on his head.

Turning around, he saw Xiao Qingxin beside him with her eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Zhiming, why are you so absent-minded today?"

"Sorry." Xia Zhiming quickly calmed down and apologized. He leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered softly, "I already know how to read. Can you change to another book? I've read this one, the Zhouyi..."

"Preaching in a dream?"

Xiao Qingxin in front of him curled her lips immediately, muttered something secretly, and then said nothing more. She directly took out a copy of the "Nanhua Zhenjing" from the desk and began to read: "There is a fish in the North Sea, its name is Kun."

Xia Zhiming instinctively continued, "Kun is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is."

"?"

The little girl suddenly became anxious: "Grandfather, you even taught me this?"

Xia Zhiming stretched out his tail and tapped the page: "No, I've learned it before, but I only learned this sentence: The most perfect man has no self, the divine man has no merit, and the most perfect man has no name."

This is actually what I learned in my previous life - nine years of compulsory education. Isn’t it amazing?

"Okay~"

Xiao Qing's heart was instantly shattered. She had been thinking about enjoying the feeling of being a master. Unexpectedly, this apprentice knew so much, and now she had no sense of accomplishment at all...

After the morning class ended and Patriarch Bodhi stood up to leave, Qing Xin and Xia Zhiming also stopped chanting. Suddenly, they saw Sun Wukong and Junior Brother Qingyun still reading beside them.

The young Taoist boy Qingyun said solemnly, "The Xiang Sutra says: 'Heaven moves with vigor, and the gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself.'"

Sun Wukong scratched his cheek and said, "Hey, little brother, this elephant can talk?"

Qingyun was furious: "You monkey, read it quickly!"

Sun Wukong started: "Don't worry, don't worry, little brother, please tell me quickly, what do you mean by this..."

Qingyun was helpless: "Xiang" refers to the image of the hexagram.

Sun Wukong's eyes rolled. "What does this hexagram look like? How do you interpret it?"

Qingyun: “…”

Seeing this scene, Xia Zhiming and Qingxin looked at each other and immediately laughed.

After laughing, Xia Zhiming was a little dazed for a moment, and looked at the desk in front of him - "Tao Te Ching", "Nanhua Jing", "Zhou Yi", "Lankavatara Sutra"..., the desk was full of Taoist and Buddhist scriptures, only the Confucian classics were missing.

Given Sun Wukong's current character of getting to the bottom of things, if he had a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" to teach him some Confucian thoughts at this time, perhaps the incidents of causing trouble in the Dragon Palace and breaking into the underworld would not have happened later.

It’s a pity that this book is not on the desk, and this monkey who is obsessed with immortality may not be able to read it.

After all, the monkey's personality is really magical. If you say that he is impolite, this monkey will greet everyone he meets, and will say good, bad, and clever words to him.

You say he's polite. The Dragon King gave him the Dinghai Shenzhen and armor, but the monkey fought his way out of the Dragon Palace - in short, it's quite abstract.

Xia Zhiming: Forget it, I don’t want to care. He will know when he suffers a loss in the future.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhiming no longer had the heart to say more. He slid along Qingxin's wrist to the little Loli's neck, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Can you take me to find the master?"

Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded. She tidied up her desk and walked directly to the side door of Yaotai, lifted the curtain and left the hall.

Outside the palace is a garden corridor, with countless palaces and pavilions in the distance, and beside the corridor there are deep trees and gurgling water.

Da da da……

The little girl walked lightly along the corridor with Xia Zhiming. After a while, Qing Xin couldn't help but speak: "Master is too partial to you, Zhiming. It's not right to teach you the Dharma right after you enter the sect, and even teach you in dreams."

Xia Zhiming didn't say anything back. Patriarch Bodhi was truly incredibly kind to him. He simply sighed, "How can I ever repay your great kindness?..."

Xiao Qingxin immediately covered her mouth and chuckled: "If I remember correctly, the next sentence should be - I can only promise you my body, right?"

"Ahem..." Xia Zhiming said awkwardly, "I haven't learned much about poetry or literature, so I really can't say anything nice right now."

Qing Xin didn't care. She tugged at his tail lightly and sighed, "If you have this heart, remember to come back often after you finish your apprenticeship. Master is nostalgic and often thinks about his fellow apprentices who have already finished their apprenticeship..."

"So? Then I'll continue guarding the mountain gate? I don't have anywhere else to go anyway, my home is right here." Xia Zhiming thought for a moment and came up with a good idea. Whether he mastered the technique or not really made no difference. After all, after a good night's sleep, he could travel the world for half a year.

"Alas..." Xiao Qingxin sighed helplessly: "Master will chase us away."

"I don't think so..." Xia Zhiming looked at Xiao Qingxin in front of him and suddenly had a magical idea -

"Junior Sister Qingxin, do you want to go outside and take a look?"

"?"

Chapter 7: Heroine, please see the cover

"No, I still have to serve my master, how can I go down the mountain?" Xiao Qing was a little tempted, but still shook her head with an embarrassed look.

I didn't refuse. I'll ask the master later to see if I can kidnap the little sister.

There is no other way. He has to practice for a full six months. Even if Patriarch Bodhi has many scriptures and ancient books, they cannot support his learning. He will have to go out and see the world in the future.

But he hasn't transformed yet, so even if he goes down the mountain for a walk, he can only go to the deep mountains and old forests to hang out with those wild monsters. What's the point? But if he can kidnap someone, that would be much more convenient.

Xia Zhiming had already made up his mind.

At this time, a man and a snake walked to the door of a quiet room. The door was half open, and it seemed that Bodhi Patriarch had anticipated their arrival.

"Master, Zhiming wants to see you..." Qingxin walked to the door and spoke loudly.

"No need to be so polite, just come in."

Xiao Qingxin responded and pushed the door open gently. In the Zen room, Bodhi Patriarch was sitting cross-legged on a cushion with his eyes closed, surrounded by dozens of green lamps.

When Qing Xin closed the door again, Patriarch Bodhi on the cushion opened his eyes and spoke in a pleasant voice:

"Retaining Qi in the form, refining the form with Qi, I know you have now mastered the Dharma nature. Do you still have any questions?"

"It's all thanks to my master's good teaching." Xia Zhiming slipped down from Qingxin's neck, bowed and then flattered him.

The ancestor sitting on the cushion chuckled and stroked his beard, saying, "Difficult! Difficult! Difficult! The Dao is profound. Don't take the golden elixir lightly. If you don't meet a sage who can pass on the secret, your words will only make your mouth tired and your tongue dry."

The master sighed, then asked again: "What brings you here today?"

Seeing that Bodhi Patriarch asked again, Xia Zhiming did not say any more useless words and spoke seriously:

"Master said when he was teaching - this method has supreme opportunities, but also supreme terrors."

"After practicing yesterday, I already understood what the supreme opportunity meant, but what was that great terror? I can't figure it out..."

After saying this, Xia Zhiming looked up at Patriarch Bodhi who was sitting on the cushion, only to find that the old ancestor chuckled and shook his head, then spoke again:

"The Dharma that I will pass on to you is to use your own heart to replace the heart of heaven, and to transform all things in heaven and earth within a small space..."

"However, Taoism has six supernatural powers, and so does Buddhism."

"Although they are different, telepathy and auditory clairvoyance are both possessed by both."

"The hearing is able to hear the words and all sounds of the six realms of sentient beings, and is not affected by them."

"With telepathy, one can know the thoughts and feelings of sentient beings in the six realms, and not be affected by them."

"So, unless one transcends the Three Realms and Six Paths, then all words and thoughts of those with great supernatural powers will be known."

After saying this, Patriarch Bodhi looked at Xia Zhiming in the audience and said with a smile, "Do you have any questions?"

"But..." Xia Zhiming suddenly realized and said in confusion, "These powerful people wouldn't be so rude as to challenge a junior, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Patriarch Bodhi sigh and say: "Of course it is so, it should be so..."

"Then I will just stay away from them from now on..." Xia Zhiming looked at the look on Patriarch Bodhi's face, shrank his head and made a decision.

"There's no need for that. If we meet, just be polite." Patriarch Bodhi looked at Xia Zhiming, who was a little timid in the audience, and after thinking about it, he still mentioned it.

Hearing this, Xia Zhiming suddenly looked up, but saw that Bodhi Patriarch still had a smile on his face, and he immediately felt relieved.

His doubts about cultivation had been resolved, and he had no other questions. However, Xia Zhiming still had another idea...

"In that case, Master..." Xia Zhiming's red eyes turned slightly, and he asked with a flattering smile: "Can I take Junior Sister down the mountain?"
