Chapter 121: Dharma, Heaven and Earth
The ferocious Gengjin claws fell from the sky. One finger of that huge claw was wider than the head of the Taoist Master Zhenzhu.
There was a faint whistling sound in the wind.
Jiang Lin couldn't help but frown.
It goes without saying that this is a tiger demon, and a tiger demon that specializes in physical combat!
Almost all of the magical powers it has cultivated are for tempering the body.
Being approached by such a ferocious creature, I think even a truly clumsy Taoist would have to temporarily avoid the attack, right?
After all, it seems that I am not good at physical body...
"clang!!"
Jiang Lin's eyes widened when he heard the sound of metal clashing.
Just now he had pushed his Fengdu Dharma Eye to its limit and was able to barely see the movements of Lord Yinshan.
Then, in just a flash of thought, Mr. Yinshan appeared in front of Taoist Zhenzhuo.
However, a crisp sound broke Jiang Lin's guess.
He subconsciously thought that the Taoist Master Zhenzhu was cultivating his magical powers rather than his physical body.
Although the Taoist's physical body is definitely much stronger than mine, after all, his realm is there.
But unexpectedly, facing a man who specialized in physical combat, Master Zhenzhuo's choice was...
"The strength is good."
I saw the Taoist master Zhenzhu raised his hand and said with a smile.
The Taoist's palm was thin and withered, as if it was just skin and bones, but it was this hand that firmly locked the Gengjin claws!
Yinshanjun also had a look of disbelief on his face. He wanted to pull his hand away, but he couldn't!
"Although I have read some scriptures and seen some things."
Taoist Zhenzhu smiled and spoke, then raised his hand and swung out a whisk, which landed right in Jiang Lin's hand.
Then he punched out!
"Buzz!"
This punch seemed ordinary and the speed was not fast, but it made Yinshanjun feel like he was facing a formidable enemy. He suddenly mobilized the power of Gengjin and spread it throughout his body.
In an instant, this Lord Yinshan seemed to be made of white steel!
"clang!!"
There was another sound like the sound of a bell.
Mr. Yinshan was hit in the stomach by the punch from Taoist Zhenzhuo. His whole body bent like a shrimp and he was blasted more than ten feet away.
"boom!"
Yinshanjun was blasted against the stone wall, leaving a flat human figure, but the surrounding stone walls were not damaged at all, which showed how powerful the Taoist's punch was.
"But I can't reveal the essence of your practice in just one sentence."
The Taoist Master Zhenzhu threw a punch and slowly continued what he had just said.
The old Taoist smiled, took a step forward, and slowly took off his wide Taoist robe.
Inside, there is a green shorts.
"Ouch..."
The Taoist master Zhenzhu casually threw his Taoist robe into Jiang Lin's arms, then stretched lazily.
Jiang Lin widened his eyes again.
"Crack, click, click..."
Along with the dull sound of bones rubbing against each other, a shadow covered Jiang Lin's eyes.
The old Taoist priest, who was originally skinny and only as tall as Jiang Lin's shoulders, was now two meters tall. A person could stand on his shoulders and a horse could run on his arms.
The green shorts had long been torn apart, leaving only half of the pants still intact.
The Taoist Master Zhenzhu shook his muscular neck. Just this one movement affected the muscles in his shoulders, and as they moved, it was as if dragons were swimming.
"what?"
Jiang Lin could fit an egg in his mouth at this moment.
"There is only one reason why this is so."
The Taoist Zhenzhu slowly finished his unfinished words, raised his head, and a white light flashed in his eyes. The light was sharp and hard, as if it was real.
"I, the Taoist priest, also practice the Gengjin Body Forging Way!"
"boom!!!"
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud roar. The Taoist Master Zhenzhu stretched his body and there was a sound of thunder within his muscles and bones!
The sound of thunder lingered for a long time, and a layer of white light slowly coated the body of Taoist Zhenzhu.
This white light is similar to the white light of Yinshan Jun, but it is purer, sharper, and more solid!
If we compare Zhenzhuo Daoye and Yinshanjun together, it is easy to draw a conclusion.
Because of the way of Gengjin, Master Zhenzhuo is obviously more "pure" than Master Yinshan.
Yinshan Jun finally landed at this time, and when he looked up, he saw the giant man who was two meters tall.
If the head wasn't still that of the real Taoist, Mr. Yinshan wouldn't have dared to recognize it.
"How can it be……"
Yinshan-jun muttered to himself blankly.
"boom!!"
The answer to Yinshanjun was a roar!
I saw that Master Zhenzhu exerted force on his feet, and with the help of the recoil force, his huge body arrived in front of Mr. Yinshan in almost the blink of an eye!
The fist as big as a wine jar was shining with the divine light of Gengjin, and was about to fall on the head of Yinshan Jun!
"Roar!!!"
Yinshanjun roared angrily, without dodging or evading, he went straight to meet the attack with his head!
As the saying goes, a head of copper and bones of iron, when practicing body building, the head is one of the hardest parts, and this is almost still a rule.
"clang!!"
However, at this moment, there seems to be something wrong with this law.
I saw that the Taoist master Zhenzhu suddenly changed his tactics at the critical moment, bending his arms and using his elbows!
If the head is one of the strongest parts of a body cultivator, then the elbow is undoubtedly the strongest place.
But Mr. Yinshan could never have imagined that the old Taoist opposite him would be able to suddenly change his moves when his fist reached its peak and he had no choice but to attack.
This is not a skill, nor a boxing technique, but an instinct!
It is through defeating opponents in countless bloody battles that one's fighting instincts have been tempered countless times!
How many battles and killings has this old Taoist experienced?
Yinshanjun couldn't help but think so when his head was almost shattered and he flew backwards dazed.
With one change of move, Yinshanjun was knocked away. Zhenzhuo Daoye slowly stepped forward, clenching and unclenching his fists.
"Keep going, little kitty."
The Taoist Master Zhenzhu said this with a smile, but his originally kind smile, combined with his sturdy body and the terrifying Gengjin divine power, made people shudder.
"Roar!!"
A roar was heard in the huge amount of dust that rose up when Yinshan Jun was knocked away. The sound waves visible to the naked eye dispersed the dust, revealing a hideous shadow.
Yinshan Jun was no longer in human form, but revealed his true form, a fifty-foot-tall, white-browed tiger with hanging eyes!
With a roar, Yinshanjun's huge figure disappeared.
"boom!"
When it appeared again, it was already in front of Taoist Master Zhenzhu, but what appeared was not sharp teeth, but a tiger's tail!
This tiger tail is wrapped with the power of Xunfeng that has been compressed to the extreme, and it is like a series of wind blades lingering on it.
Jiang Lin had no doubt that if he was tricked by this thing, he would have to prepare to report to Fengdu.
However, facing this murderous attack, Zhenzhuo Daoye simply raised his leg and then kicked straight forward!
It was not known whether it was Jiang Lin’s illusion or something else, but he always felt that when he kicked out, the size of the Taoist Master Zhenzhu increased further.
"Om..."
Time seemed to stop for a moment at this moment. Yinshanjun's huge body lingered for a moment, and then with a sense of "damping", it slowly retreated in the air.
It's not that the speed is slow, but that this kick from Master Zhenzhu has interfered with the space.
Yinshanjun's eyes became much clearer, and pictures flashed through his mind.
That was when I was just beginning to gain intelligence. I was wandering in the mountains and met a tigress. She was very beautiful, with long and shiny hair and the tiger stripes on her forehead were so delicate.
So I...
Wait! Yin Shanjun suddenly came to his senses and found that he had been wedged against the stone wall again without knowing when.
After the initial confusion, there were waves of severe pain.
Yinshanjun only felt that all the bones in his body were broken, and there was no place in his body, including his skin, flesh, tendons, and internal organs, that didn't hurt.
It shook its dizzy head and tried to break free from the stone wall, but suddenly it saw a pair of eyes.
A pair of eyes that glowed with the divine light of Gengjin. There was no emotion in those eyes, only calmness and coldness.
Yinshanjun reacted the next moment and opened his huge mouth.
However, the owner of the eye was faster than it.
A hand as big as a palm leaf fan pinched Yinshanjun's huge mouth, and the other hand clenched into a fist and smashed down!
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Jiang Lin stared blankly at the stone wall where the two-meter-tall Taoist master Zhenzhu had his legs sunk into the stone wall. He lowered his body, held Yinshanjun's head and mouth with one hand, and clenched his other hand into a fist, smashing on him again and again.
With every roar, the entrance to the stone wall would sink a little bit. With every punch, the ground where Jiang Lin was would tremble.
At first, Yinshanjun raised his claws in an attempt to resist, but when his sharp claws that could pierce through mountains and rocks landed on Zhenzhuodaoye's arm, it was as gentle as a brothel girl's handkerchief stroking her patron's face.
Gradually, as Master Zhenzhu's fists fell heavier and heavier, Lord Yinshan stopped moving, but his body trembled with the roar.
After throwing about a dozen punches, Zhenzhu Daoye finally stood up.
Like pulling up onions in dry land, he fell down from the mountain wall and came in front of Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin watched as the Taoist Master Zhenzhu walked towards him step by step. With every step, his twenty-foot-tall body became three inches smaller.
When Jiang approached, he turned back into that skinny old man.
"Boy, come back to your senses."
The Taoist master Zhenzhu shook his Taoist robe and put it on. He then reached out and took the whisk from Jiang Lin's hand and knocked Jiang Lin on the forehead.
"Master Dao?"
There was still disbelief in Jiang Lin's eyes, and he pointed blankly at the mountain wall.
"It's not...you...it...I..."
Jiang Lin stuttered and couldn't utter a coherent sentence.
It’s not that Jiang Lin is ignorant, it’s just that the contrast of the scene just now was a bit too great.
Who would have thought that the Taoist master Zhenzhu, who looked like a self-cultivating and skinny old man, actually had such an image?
"Hahahahaha!"
Taoist Master Zhen Zhu patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The founder of Zhenwu also has the magic-dispelling appearance. If we, the younger generation disciples, can imitate one billionth of his, we will be able to benefit infinitely."
"It's just a method of strengthening the body, why are you so surprised, little Taoist friend?"
"Let's go back to the mountain."
Seeing the figure of Taoist Zhenzhu getting farther and farther away, Jiang Lin hurriedly followed him.
"Master Dao, does your method have a name?"
On the way, Jiang Lin asked curiously.
At the same time, looking around, he found that the sticky gray qi was basically gone.
The battlefield is not limited to Jiang Lin and Taoist Zhenzhu. In other directions of Qiyun Mountain, there are also evil monsters and the "Great Monster that Suppresses the Tide".
But unfortunately, there is more than one Taoist priest in Taisu Palace.
"Thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, I was lucky enough to practice this method, but it does have a name."
Taoist Zhenzhu stroked his beard and said, "However, I have practiced for three decades, but I have only achieved the basics. I am still a long way from reaching the master level."
Jiang Lin blinked, thinking that the Taoist priest was being too modest again, but he saw that the Taoist priest was serious and did not seem to be joking.
As he walked, Master Zhenzhu said, "I feel a little embarrassed to mention the name of this method."
"Well, since you asked, I will be bold enough to tell you."
Taoist Zhenzhu looked at Jiang Lin with a smile and said, "When you first practice this method, you must separate the five elements and practice one of them. Only when you have perfected your practice will you be qualified to practice the true secret of this method. Now, I am still a long way from even learning the way to get started with the metal element."
"This method is called: Following the Way of Heaven and Earth."
"tread……"
Jiang Lin couldn't help but stop and stared blankly at the Taoist master Zhenzhu walking through the stone archway.
What did this Taoist priest just say?
Jiang Lin couldn't believe his ears.
I just said...
The law of heaven and earth? !
The law of heaven and earth!!
Jiang Lin was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, took a deep breath, and then quickly caught up with the Taoist Master Zhenzhu.
This time, Zhenzhu Daoye was not modest, but spoke the truth.
He practiced for three decades, but he only managed to get the basics.
Even the entry requirements are still a long way off.
Because it’s not a spell, but... a supernatural power!
Moreover, it is one of the most advanced, difficult and powerful magical powers in the universe!
Along the way, Jiang Lin was eager to try and looked at Taoist Zhenzhu frequently.
Finally, when they arrived at the square in front of the Xuan Emperor Palace, Jiang Lin couldn't help it.
"Master Tao..."
Jiang Lin spoke hesitantly, and just after he said two words, his handsome face turned red.
It's not that I'm anxious or shy, but I'm just embarrassed.
After all, what Jiang Lin wanted to say was really hard to say and very unrealistic.
But what if?
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The Taoist Master Zhen Zhu looked at Jiang Lin jokingly and said, "I just want to see how long you can hold back before you speak."
He understood Jiang Lin very well. Seeing such a magical power appear before his eyes, it would be strange if he didn't want to learn about it.
Jiang Lin scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Please give me some advice, Master. How can I... ahem..."
Jiang Lin didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was obvious.
"Forget it."
Taoist Zhenzhu smiled and kicked Jiang Lin, saying, "I have only learned the entry method of Gengjin Dao. Even if I don't see your affinity, I dare not teach you."
As he spoke, Master Zhenzhu's expression became much more serious.
"It's not that I'm stingy, nor is it that I have any restrictions when I was able to pass on this method."
"But I'm afraid it won't suit you."
"After all, I am only a cultivator in the world. I don't have the foresight to see things from a high place, and I can't predict your future path."
"I teach you this method without permission. It is not for your benefit, but to harm you."
Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this, then his eyes became clear again and he nodded.
He understood what Master Zhenzhu meant.
To Jiang Lin, the real meaning of Master Zhenzhu is not that the Dharma should not be passed on lightly, but that the Dharma should not be passed on incorrectly.
Because he didn't know, and couldn't tell whether this method was suitable for Jiang Lin. If it was passed on to the wrong person...
"This time, I deliberately showed you this method to remind you."
"If you come across other methods in the future, no matter how much you like them or how suitable they are, you must first consult a trusted elder."
