Buddha is the Tao

Chapter 9: Chapter 9 The Second Spirit



"Disciple! You scared her!" Zhou Qing said to Liao Xiaojin with a smile. "There's no reason! I'm so handsome and elegant, and I can scare people. Master, do you think her brain was destroyed by worms?" Liao Xiaojin was just scared by this girl and made a sarcastic remark.

"Your brain was eaten by worms!" Ling Ruoshui was angry. No one dared to talk to her like this since she was a child. Without asking how she got here, she scolded Liao Xiaojin.

"My girl, my disciple was joking! Don't mind it, don't mind it!" Ling Ruoshui was confused when she heard Zhou Qing's half-ancient language. She seemed to remember that she went shopping with her best friend and classmates, and suddenly a few people in black appeared next to the school, and a young man in a white suit threw a golden light at her, and then she knew nothing. Hearing the words "girl" and "apprentice", Ling Ruoshui was shocked: "Did I travel through time and space and come to ancient times?"

Ling Ruoshui quickly looked around and saw the pile of banknotes on the bed where she was lying. US dollars, yes, US dollars. Even though Ling Ruoshui was born in a wealthy family, it was rare to see so many US dollars piled together. "It's okay! It's still modern, how could there be US dollars in ancient times," she said, patting her chest with her hand, her cherry mouth slightly opened, and a hint of blush appeared on her pure face. Indescribably cute.

Seeing that Liao Xiaojin's eyes were straight. "Cough! Cough!" Zhou Qing coughed several times before pulling Liao Xiaojin back from his wandering state. Ling Ruoshui then noticed Liao Xiaojin and Zhou Qing by the bed. He asked hurriedly: "What is this place? How did I get here? Who are you?" Liao Xiaojin said: "We saw you were hit by the Japanese devils' evil magic at the airport, so we rescued you. This is Las Vegas in the United States. As for us, this is my master. Master Zhou, the leader of Tiandao Sect. I am Liao Xiaojin, the eldest disciple of Tiandao Sect." Liao Xiaojin revealed all his background and did not forget to severely insult Zhou Qing.

"Puchi!" Ling Ruoshui laughed. Zhou Qing and Liao Xiaojin looked like two young men. "Tian Dao Sect, Master Zhou, haha, are you guys making a martial arts movie?" Then she stood up and stretched out her right hand. "My name is Ling Ruoshui. Thank you for saving me!" As expected of a lady from a wealthy family, Zhou Qing nodded secretly. "This girl is not simple!" She stepped forward and slapped Liao Xiaojin's hand, and gently held Ling Ruoshui's hand. The soft, boneless, fragrant and round feeling passed into Zhou Qing's palm, but Zhou Qing was not moved at all. He pulled out his hand very casually and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He was joking. We came to Las Vegas for a trip. We saw that something was wrong with you, so we saved you. Don't take it to heart." Ling Ruoshui's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. She had seen countless men, most of whom were fascinated by her, but why did this man seem to not care at all? Ling Ruoshui couldn't help but doubt her charm for the first time.

Who knows that Zhou Qing has been practicing Taoism for five years. Although he has no famous teacher to guide him and only has spiritual medicine as a supplement, his own cultivation has not made much progress. However, he specializes in talismans and arrays, communicates with the universe, and pays attention to communicating with the heart of heaven and earth. Although Zhou Qing's heart is not as calm as an ancient well and as clear as a mirror, he has long been able to control it freely. Let alone Ling Ruoshui, even if she is ten times more beautiful, it is impossible to shake Zhou Qing's mind. Just think about how huge the power of the universe is, and how deep and vast the spirit is. If there is no firm heart to control it, it will be lost long ago. The consequence of being lost is that it will be directly blown into powder by the huge power of heaven and earth. Not even the soul is left. In the history of Taoism, there are many examples of being backfired by the arrays they set up.

"Well, the highest good is like water. Water is good for all things without competing. It is in the places that everyone hates, so it is close to Taoism. Miss Ling is a good name!" Zhou Qing nodded. Seeing that Zhou Qingnian was only a few years older than herself, but acted like an old scholar, Ling Ruoshui smiled again, like a hundred flowers blooming, dazzling. "Okay! Don't call me Miss Ling, Miss Ling, just call me Ruoshui!" I don't know why, Ling Ruoshui was in a particularly good mood. Usually, she never said anything to the young men around her, but today she took the initiative to tell them her name. Even she was a little surprised.

"Hey! Ruoshui! Do you know why those devils kidnapped you!" Liao Xiaojin immediately hit the snake stick. Ling Ruoshui also felt good about this handsome young man: "I don't know, my family's business is relatively large, and my father also sent me a bodyguard to protect me. It may be my father's business enemy!" Ling Ruoshui said to Liao Xiaojin.

"It's definitely not just a business enemy. He actually mobilized the Japanese Jiujiu Sect and Liuying Sect. Especially the elder, his methods are very strong. Even if he was placed in the Chinese Taoist sect, he would not be an unknown person. If I hadn't been ambushed by the formation I set, I might not be able to deal with him. But looking at the expression of this woman, she doesn't seem to be lying. What is the truth?" Zhou Qing was a little confused. "Who cares? As long as it has nothing to do with me, whether it's a horse beating a cow to death or a cow beating a horse to death, as long as it doesn't disturb my peace, why should I care about it?"

"Miss Ruoshui, you are awake now, call your parents to avoid worrying them, or ask them to pick you up." Zhou Qing knew that the matter was not simple and wanted to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible.

"I won't! My dad and mom always lock me up at home, and I can't even go to school freely. My brothers also say it's dangerous outside. I finally got out this time, and I don't want to go back so soon. The two big brothers are here to travel anyway, and I also want to play for a few days. Why don't you two big brothers accompany me!" "Okay! Okay! We are fine!" Zhou Qing was about to refuse, but Liao Xiaojin spoke first. Zhou Qing was speechless.

After secretly giving Liao Xiaojin a fierce look, Zhou Qing also had his own plans. "Okay! It's late now, Xiaojin, go get another room for Miss Ruoshui."

There was no conversation that night. Early the next morning, Ling Ruoshui ran over and knocked on the door. When Liao Xiaojin opened the door, he saw Zhou Qing sitting cross-legged on the bed, "Ah! You really know kung fu! You don't even need to sleep, just like my dad and my older brother and second brother. Can you teach me kung fu? I've wanted to learn it for a long time. The Taichi and karate clubs in the school are so impressive, but unfortunately my dad won't let me learn."

Ling Ruoshui clung to Liao Xiaojin tightly. Liao Xiaojin nodded repeatedly. It was no wonder that Ling Ruoshui was born with a charm. Liao Xiaojin was originally a vampire, and his inner demons were heavier than those of ordinary people. Although he practiced Taoism, he was still young after all. If it weren't for his feelings for Jenny, he would have been fascinated by her.

"Hurry up! I haven't been to the United States for a long time, and I haven't been to Las Vegas yet! You are so rich! This Caesar Palace is not a place that ordinary people can live in!" Ling Ruoshui urged Zhou Qing, who was cleaning up slowly, "You have to treat us later!"

"Master! You are still wise. You should have gotten rid of this trouble in the first place!" Liao Xiaojin carried a bag on his shoulders, and he didn't know how many bags, clothes, and food were in his hands. Even though Liao Xiaojin was physically strong, he was still panting. "This woman has been strolling from early morning to noon, and from noon to now, how can she still have such good energy? I think she is almost as good as the Golden Immortal you mentioned."

Zhou Qing brought no less things than Liao Xiaojin. Hearing Liao Xiaojin's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This little girl spent more than 100,000 yuan in just one day. Could it be that her family runs a bank? Fortunately, she hasn't gambled yet. Fortunately, we made a fortune, otherwise it wouldn't be emptied? I don't care. I'll leave it to you tomorrow. I'm going to retreat and practice magic weapons. I'm also going to practice my flying sword again." Liao Xiaojin was about to complain. Ling Ruoshui shouted over there: "Why are you two so slow! Come on! There are good things to sell here!" "Damn, it seems that this girl treats us as followers." Liao Xiaojin said.

The three of them visited most of the shopping malls in Las Vegas in one day. When they returned to the hotel room at night, Liao Xiaojin was so tired that he crawled on the bed like a dead dog and complained: "My Miss Ruoshui, you are so energetic. You are not tired today!" Ling Ruoshui was eating a bag of snacks on the bed while watching the large-screen plasma TV. When she heard Liao Xiaojin's complaints, she turned around and stuck out her tongue: "I'm sorry, people usually mention it, but I forgot today!" Seeing Ling Ruoshui's cute smile, Liao Xiaojin's resentment disappeared. Zhou Qing was surprised: "Why is this woman born with a hint of seduction?"

"Brother Zhou, are you going out?" Seeing Zhou Qing get up and change clothes, Ling Ruoshui asked. "Well! I have something to do outside, and I may be back later. Xiaojin, take good care of Miss Ruoshui." Liao Xiaojin nodded quickly.

Las Vegas is surrounded by deserted deserts. The weather is hot during the day, but the temperature is terribly low at night. Rattlesnakes and poisonous scorpions appear in endlessly. Unless people are tired of living, they will never stay in the desert at night. Zhou Qing stood quietly on the sand dune, looking at the starry sky. "Success or failure depends on this one move." Zhou Qing took out the Tianluo Huaxue Divine Sword, and the thin blood-red sword sounded trembling. The four eyes of the two-headed wolf on the handle of the knife became more and more weird, and the green light actually illuminated every detail within a radius of ten feet. Zhou Qing inserted the blade into the ground and moved seven large stones to arrange them according to the position of the Big Dipper. The handle of the dipper really pointed to the knife inserted into the ground. And the Tianluo Huaxue Divine Sword was exactly the direction corresponding to the North Pole.

After arranging it, Zhou Qing took out the jade bottle containing the six-winged golden silkworm from his arms and stroked it. After soaking in Liao Xiaojin's blood for a whole day, the six-winged golden silkworm also absorbed a little bit of the Nine Li Holy Blood contained in the blood. When Zhou Qing poured it out of the jade bottle, it actually swelled in the wind, from an inch long and the thickness of chopsticks to a foot long, the thickness of an arm, and wings like a cattail leaf fan. How come the body size has only increased ten times? Looking at the golden silkworm shining with golden light under the starlight, Zhou Qing thought secretly: "Lucky! Fortunately, I am smart and don't want to keep this guy as a pet. Otherwise, I just released it and the golden silkworm has not been tamed yet. If it attacks me, I will die? Fortunately, I wiped out its consciousness. Now this guy is like a vegetable. The body is as long as the flesh, but it has no thoughts. It is just right for practicing the second soul! Haha! Who in the Taoist sect has such good materials as me now, using the ancient wild species fed with the holy blood of Jiuli to practice the second soul."

The so-called second soul is to use a powerful magic weapon as the core, one's own divine thoughts as the guide, and special techniques to sacrifice and refine, and finally differentiate into a second self, and have the same magical powers and mana, and use magic weapons as the body. The strength of the physical body is far above the main body, and the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is far stronger than the original body. This is the method used by ancient immortals to avoid the nine-day thunder tribulation. When the heavenly tribulation comes, the second soul bravely rushes to catch it. Even if the magic weapon is useless, the main body can be kept safe. It is a typical pawn in the sacrifice of pawns to protect the general. However, the second soul is often difficult to practice. Not only does it require a magic weapon of excellent quality, but the materials of the magic weapon of excellent quality are often tougher. It is more difficult to transform into one's own physical appearance than to ascend to heaven, and the magic weapon of poor quality is useless. Therefore, in the past thousands of years in China, except for the awesome figures in the Conferred God period, there are very few monks who have practiced the second soul. But once they have practiced it, they are often people with great means and merits. Not to mention the shortage of materials, elixirs, and magic weapons in modern times.

However, the method of cultivating the second original god recorded in Zhou Qing's "General Outline of Weapon Training" is a different story. I don't know which predecessor with great means actually combined ancient witchcraft to wipe out the consciousness of animals or powerful monsters alive, and then used secret methods to sacrifice and refine them into the second original god. Since they are both **, it is much easier to cultivate the second original god in this way. But there are also disadvantages. Not to mention that the stronger the monster, the harder it is to deal with. Even if it is subdued, the body is often damaged. The consciousness is not easy to erase. In general, no matter how powerful the body is, it can't compare with magic weapons, right? However, Zhou Qing was also very lucky. He actually got the larva of the six-winged golden silkworm. Even if the six-winged golden silkworm evolved to six wings, its consciousness was extremely low, not to mention the larvae. Zhou Qing easily wiped out the consciousness. In addition, it was fed with the blood of the ancient demon god Chi You. Zhou Qing didn't know to what extent the six-winged golden silkworm would evolve.
