Chapter 395: Finding the Way
"explain."
Chen Zhu was suspended in the void.
At this time, people from the foot of the mountain also came, and several golden immortals from the Five Fingers Mountain Sect were approaching this side.
There was even a Daluo who was in seclusion, frowning and preparing to leave.
But as soon as he stood up, before he touched the edge of the cave, he felt a chill all over his body.
It was as if there was a sharp knife pointed at his soul, and if he moved, he would lose his life to this knife.
"do not move!"
Ao Hei quickly sent a message, "Elder Xianyun, please don't get involved in this matter."
The time it took for the divine mind to transmit this sentence was very short, as short as a flash of lightning.
But for those Golden Immortals, they have reached the cusp of the Five Finger Mountain.
next moment……
"collapse!"
All the Golden Immortals who arrived first screamed, and it was like snowflakes falling on molten iron from inside and outside.
Gone in an instant.
There are hundreds of golden immortals!
The monks who were a little behind them hurriedly slowed down their pace, and the closest one almost reached the top of the mountain.
They retreated backwards in panic without any hesitation.
Elder Xianyun took several steps back. Although he was a Daluo cultivator, he could only see a hint of ancient golden luster.
It was gone in a flash, and nothing was left of the hundreds of Golden Immortals.
If it was a physical body, it would be fine, but these Golden Immortals have many treasures on them, including acquired treasures, and yet there is no trace left.
Ao Hei's eyes trembled violently. He had never seen his senior brother like this before.
The word "said" was extremely calm, without any fluctuation.
But the more this happened, the more panicked he became.
"Big Brother, why don't we go to my cave first? There are too many people here."
Ao Hei said tentatively. At this time, the great monks of the Five Finger Mountain had almost fled to the edge of the sect, but they still kept their eyes here.
Chen Zhu said nothing, but turned his head and stared at Ao Hei.
This made Ao Hei's heart tremble even more, but the eldest senior brother did not compromise.
Suddenly, Five Finger Mountain became dim.
Chen Zhu's voice was cold: "Ao Hei, if the first termite appears in my Sanxing Cave, then we will not be able to contain it in the future."
He would not allow the first precedent to be established.
Ao Hei looked up suddenly and saw a huge Taoist bell hanging in the sky. The dark bell mouth seemed to swallow everything.
"Eldest brother?"
He was heartbroken.
The Taoist bell obscured the heaven and earth, and also obscured the sky of Jambudvīpa.
Looking down from heaven, one can only see the huge and ancient body of the bell.
The Dao Bell suppresses all worlds and spans time and space. Unless you have reached the pinnacle of Dao, you will never be able to see the scenery from the top of the bell.
Taoist Duobao, who was originally on his way, turned around decisively at this moment and flew towards Jinbie Island.
No more playing around, the Dao Bell has been taken out, he, the number one counterfeit king in the three realms, can see it clearly.
Chaos Bell, an innate treasure. If I happen to hear the bell ring, I will have to wait for reincarnation and cultivation.
If he is not a saint, who can withstand it? He simply does not have a treasure of the same level that can resist it.
At this time, the only thing Duobao Taoist could think of was to return to Jinbie Island and ask his teacher about the situation.
Under the Dao Bell, Ao Hei knelt down on his knees: "Big Brother, I just want to break through!"
He no longer dared to refuse, the Chaos Bell would really ring!
If it were someone else, Ao Hei would never give in or shed a tear even if he was crushed to death.
But the person in front of him was his senior brother, and Ao Hei really couldn't hold it back, and tears and grievances seemed to burst out like a dam.
He ignored those looks and knelt down with a piercing voice: "Big Brother, I have been stuck in the third corpse of a quasi-saint for who knows how many years!"
"Big Brother, I just want to break through. I have tried every method, but I still can't take one more step forward!"
His words were full of sadness and despair.
Chen Zhu's expression remained unchanged: "This is not a reason."
Ao Hei's voice trembled: "Big Brother, isn't this a reason?"
"You have already surpassed Hun Yuan. Even Master is not as good as you. Naturally, you don't have this feeling."
"But what about me? I know there are too many people ahead of me. I originally thought that I would be able to run all the way to the top. With Master and you, I, Ao Hei, will definitely be the best of the best!"
"But, but... I can't remember how long it has been. Is it a few kalpas? Or hundreds or tens of thousands?"
"My cultivation hasn't improved at all. I can't walk anymore."
This kind of despair gradually consumed Ao Hei's body and mind. He endured it for too long, and finally became like this little by little.
"Big Brother, please give me some time. If the system I have established can become the mainstream of the Three Realms in the future, I will definitely be able to achieve Hun Yuan through it!"
"By then, I will be the second Hun Yuan in our Sanxing Cave besides you. Master will definitely be happy to see me, right?"
Ao Hei's paranoia has become insane.
Chen Zhu frowned deeply.
In the Sanxing Cave, Patriarch Bodhi sighed deeply.
"Ugh……"
Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and it turned out that Carl had returned.
Behind him, Chu Jue, Pan Wu, Chen Zhan, Yu Xuan, Mo Qi and others had already arrived.
Master, Ao Hei is disobedient. I will go and teach him a lesson!
Chu Jue clenched his fists, his eyes flickering:
"Master, please call back our eldest brother first."
She turned her head and stared into the distance. The Chaos Clock seemed to suppress half the world.
The entire southern continent was shrouded in shadow.
They were terrified just by watching, and they had no idea how much psychological pressure Ao Hei, who was at the bottom of the clock, was under.
Patriarch Bodhi remained silent and did not answer immediately.
"Master!"
Pan Wu said anxiously, "Please say something quickly. You are the only one who can stop our senior brother now."
"Xiao Hei did go too far this time, but we can't blame him entirely. The eldest brother might really beat him to death!"
"Yes, Master, please speak up."
Yuxuan's voice was originally soft, but now she spoke faster.
If I were a step slower, I might have to go to Uncle Hou Tu to ask for Ao Hei's true spirit.
Patriarch Bodhi knows all the anxieties of these children.
But as he looked into the distance, the silver threads on the whisk flew up several times and then slowly fell down.
"Your eldest brother knows his limits."
At this moment, on the Five Fingers Mountain, facing Ao Hei's inner thoughts and the countless years that had passed, Chen Zhu's heart was soft but also cold.
"Ao Hei, you know, I look down on you a little bit at this moment."
Under the huge Taoist bell, Zhulong's figure was extremely tall and straight.
Ao Hei looked up with tearful eyes, gritted his teeth and wiped away his tears.
"I'm just looking for a way, just like my master and the saints. Is that wrong?"
"You were right."
"To anyone else in this world, you are right." Chen Zhu lowered his eyes.
"But in my case, you're wrong."
The disappointment in his eyes made Ao Hei's heartbeat slow down.
"Did you know that there are three levels of finding the way?"
"What?" Ao Hei was at a loss, and the tears in his eyes could not be wiped away.
At this time, Chen Zhu turned his back and casually glanced at Professor Zhang Yu beside him:
"Wait for me on the way."
“To find the path, look within.”
"Looking for the way is inferior, looking outside."
Ao Hei trembled: "I... am inferior?"
"No, you are not even one of the three."
Chen Zhu said coldly: "You are asking him for material possessions, which are not of high, medium or low quality." Zhang Yu seemed to understand. He had insufficient cultivation and was unaware of the great power of the seniors around him. He just felt that there was some truth in what he said.
But then again, the leader of the Five Finger Mountain was actually oppressed and cried like a weak woman, and he was also the junior brother of this big boss?
He had never heard of such a person in Fangcun Mountain.
At this time, Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask: "Since Sect Master Ao asked for the wrong thing, then can you tell me what the three levels are?"
"He did something wrong, can't you just teach him a lesson?"
In Zhang Yu's opinion, they are all brothers from the same school, so there is no need for such a big fuss, right?
"And it's so dark, sir, don't you think you can't see clearly?"
Said unintentionally.
Ao Hei couldn't help but look at Zhang Yu with gratitude. If he could get through today, he would have to thank him properly.
"Well, since you asked, I'll tell you."
Chen Zhu sat cross-legged and recited the true sound.
The bell shook slightly, and the sound of wind whistling at the bell mouth was heard.
After a sound, Chen Zhuyan said:
“This is seeking outside.”
Ao Hei's eyes showed shock: "Is this lowly?"
The Dao bell has sound, which represents Chen Zhu's Dao. It is a wordless heavenly book and a colorless true teaching.
Seeking outside, asking for the original power of heaven and earth, the great trend and the great way, the essence of all things, which can be called the golden elixir path of the Taiqing saint, is this actually seeking outside?
Then he heard the bell ringing again, but no sound came out. Zhang Yu looked around in surprise.
There is no sound.
What a pity! I thought I could get some opportunities, but now it seems my level is not high enough.
Because at this moment, Ao Hei's entire body was making a bell sound, and his entire body was cracked by the bell sound.
“This is inner seeking…”
The brutal means made Ao Hei miserable.
But he knew in his heart that inner seeking could actually be so powerful.
Looking inward, without relying on any external objects, being independent of the heaven and earth, jumping out of the Three Realms, not being within the Five Elements, you yourself are the Tao, a Tao that does not belong to the Heavenly Way.
"This... is only average?"
"The best way, do you want to hear it?"
Chen Zhu looked at him but still made the judgment.
"Ao Hei, after finding the third level, I will kill you and clear the door."
"You should know that it's not that you did something wrong, but that you went astray."
Ao Hei nodded heavily.
"Big Brother, I was wrong. I admit it. Please tell me what you think."
"The best way is to ask me for help."
This time, he spoke the truth, three words: If you want me, ask for it.
There was no disturbance, no influence, the Taoist bell stood still. This was indeed a very reasonable method of finding the way.
"Beg from me? Beg from me?"
Ao Hei talked to himself, muttering constantly.
"Brother, I don't understand."
"You don't understand, of course."
Chen Zhu looked at him and said, "When you go from asking him for help, to asking outside of yourself, and then to asking inside of yourself, you will know what it means to ask me for help."
There was a divine light in his eyes: "To achieve this, there are only two people in the entire prehistoric world, from ancient times to the present."
These conversations were not concealed.
In the Sanxing Cave, Chu Jue was restless and anxious: "Master, Senior Brother really wants to kill Ao Hei!"
"Hurry up and help stop it!"
"I can't stop it."
Patriarch Bodhi was pondering the last of the three requests from Chen Zhu.
Even at his current level of cultivation, he was deeply moved when he heard these words.
This last sentence is not very subtle, but it is also the greatest subtlety.
The so-called nothing subtle is because, asking me is the way of heaven asking him for the way.
That is to say, to a certain extent, Zhuming stands higher than the way of heaven. This is not a method, it is a statement.
The greatest ingenuity of this is that it is so difficult to achieve what Heaven asks of you, that it is almost impossible to accomplish.
Zhu Ming said that only two people in history had done this, and he also knew who those two people were.
One is the candlelight, which opens up the space and time of all worlds.
The second one... is the old Taoist priest, whose name is Taiping.
Refining chaos into the way of heaven...how amazing.
He looked at all the disciples and said, "Ao Hei has brought this upon himself. Your Senior Brother Zhu Ming will enforce the rules of our sect."
“You should take this as a warning and remember the lesson of today.”
All the disciples were shocked.
This is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. The death of Ao Hei will serve as a warning to all the disciples in Sanxing Cave. If anyone dares to make a mistake, he will not show mercy.
Karl still couldn't help but: "Master, will it be..."
Patriarch Bodhi shook his head: "You can stop it by yourselves, but this time, I stand on the side of your eldest brother."
After saying this, Chu Jue gritted his teeth, turned around and flew out.
"I'll go if I want to. I don't believe that Senior Brother can beat me to death!"
"It's too late." Pan Wu sighed, "It's too late."
On the Five Finger Mountain, Chen Zhu had already finished talking about the three routes.
Ao Hei lowered his head and bowed to Chen Zhu, having accepted his fate.
He still felt aggrieved, but had no complaints.
Chen Zhu raised his hand and was about to strike the Taoist bell. This was the most dignified way to send Ao Hei to reincarnation.
However, the next moment, his hand did not fall on the Taoist bell.
A pitch-black stick blocked his fingertips, slowing them down for a moment.
"Hehe~ Senior Brother, I haven't seen you for a while and you're still so strong."
Behind the stick was the Monkey King Sun Wukong, who was now struggling against the stick of life and death, just as he had done before.
"Ah~ tsk~ Senior Brother, after all, this kid Ao Hei only made a mistake for the first time, so please forgive him."
He begged for mercy, but the stick kept retreating.
Even if Chen Zhu used his fingertips to exert force, Sun Wukong could not block it.
"Big Brother!"
The next moment, in this short period of time, Chu Jue came and also resisted the life and death stick!
She said arrogantly: "Even if Xiao Heizi made a mistake, isn't it your responsibility as the senior brother? You didn't keep an eye on him, and now you want to kill Xiao Heizi. I won't agree!"
What she said was a bit willful, but it did make some sense.
More people came to Sanxing Cave.
Karl did not resist the life and death stick, but comforted Chen Zhu: "I am not qualified to say anything, but I will detoxify them later."
"Detoxify? Detoxify what poison?"
While Chu Jue was in a daze, he already felt a numbness coming from the places where his hands touched the Life and Death Stick.
"Oh no, I forgot that Second Brother's stick is poisonous..."
A group of fellow disciples were hit by the sticks and fell to the ground like dumplings.
Karl had no choice but to go up and help them up one by one.
Sun Wukong cannot be stopped.
Chen Zhu pressed the Life and Death Stick with his fingertips, but they finally collided with the Dao Bell.
"Dang~"
The stick of life and death broke, and Ao Hei shattered into pieces, leaving only a trace of his true spirit that entered the underworld.
Sun Wukong was stunned and scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously. Without saying a word, he rushed to the underworld.
If he could capture the true spirit, Master could still help reshape Ao Hei's physical body, but he would need to practice for some time to recover his strength.
