Chapter 9 Don’t call me by my name anymore, call me Long Aotian
Chi Yu was panicked for only a moment, then quickly calmed down.
The system has been exposed, so this is actually not a trump card. Once Xie Xiyi knows it, he will know it.
Some people might think that he was being frivolous in exposing the system, and that he wouldn't survive more than three episodes in the novel, but Chi Yu also thought it over carefully.
First of all, Xie Xiyi's personality is different from others, so he must come up with something attractive enough to attract Xie Xiyi.
His weakness and his mission are inherently challenging.
Because it is so challenging, it is actually a huge contrast, which in itself arouses people's curiosity and interest. Curiosity is the most primitive desire of human beings, and even monks cannot escape it.
Although it was reckless, Chi Yu was also gambling that Xie Xiyi would fall for it.
In front of Xie Xiyi, there is no way to hide too many things, and there is no need to play any tricks. No tricks are better than having any tricks.
After figuring it out, Chi Yu smiled again and responded positively, "I understand, Boss. I will work hard to create value. I will definitely arrange everything for you!"
He was so sensible that he seemed to have no temper at all. Xie Xiyi looked at him quietly for a while, then gently stroked Chi Yu's chin with her fingers, and finally smiled and said, "This is your value."
Xie Xiyi left.
The strong smell of his blood still lingered in the room.
Chi Yu relaxed. He looked down at the phantom lightning. The sword body, as white and warm as mutton-fat jade, was flowing with a faint golden light. The blood energy attached to the sword was gently shaken off and disappeared in the air. It rubbed Chi Yu's cheek gently. It was obviously a cold and hard spine sword, but Chi Yu always felt as if he was facing a clingy kitten.
Chi Yu whispered to Huan Dian, "Did you provoke him?"
Huandian responded by lifting the quilt with the tip of his sword and crawling into bed, pretending to be dead.
Chi Yu laughed, pulled back the quilt, and lay down with it.
The phantom lightning was tempered from the spine of a Jindan cultivator. When Chi Yu thought of this, he looked at the phantom lightning again and felt that it had a very bloody and tragic meaning.
The handle of the phantom electric sword is rugged and connected with a piece of golden metal. The overall color combination is very beautiful. It is not the pale and gloomy skeleton that Chi Yu knows. Instead, it is as transparent and warm as jade. The jade texture often has golden light flowing through it, which is magnificent.
No wonder Xie Xiyi said it was special. Chi Yu had seen many corpses in Dongjing Island. Some of the corpses were so horrible that Chi Yu couldn't bear to see them exposed in the wilderness, so he would spend some time picking up the corpses and burying them. As a result, he had also come into contact with many mutilated corpses, but none of them had such beautiful bones as Huandian.
The edge of the bone sword wasn't actually sharp, and even had a rounded, dull feel. Chi Yu was curious about its lethality, so he asked Huan Dian, "Can I use you?"
The hilt of the phantom sword tilted, which meant agreement.
Chi Yu climbed out of bed, took Huandian with him, took a spiritual stone from the Xumi Ring, and said to Huandian, "Let me see if you can split it."
After saying that, he took the phantom lightning and tapped the spirit stone lightly, but there was not a single scratch on the spirit stone.
Chi Yu was happy. "What? You have no killing power at all?"
However, he was very efficient in stabbing him.
The phantom lightning seemed to be stimulated by him. The sword body hummed for a while, and it moved with Chi Yu's arm - just a light swing, an invisible sword energy swept past, and Chi Yu's room was immediately cut in half.
There was a loud "bang" and the whole restaurant suddenly became noisy.
Chi Yu: "..."
The tip of the phantom sword trembled, as if it was very proud.
Chi Yu: "..."
He was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The commotion outside had already reached his door. The waiter knocked on the door and said loudly and rudely, "Sir, please open the door."
Chi Yu hurried to open the door and saw not only the waiter but also several monks outside, looking at him with angry expressions. "Don't you know that fighting is not allowed in the city? Don't you know that fighting is not allowed in the restaurant either? Whose family are you from?"
Chi Yu finally paid a large sum of spirit stones to understand the situation, and was ruthlessly kicked out of the restaurant by the owner.
Chi Yu: "..."
He just gave it one more try.
Maybe all the restaurants in the city have some kind of communication group? Chi Yu went to look for a new restaurant, but surprisingly, no one would accept him.
Ling Hezhou, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up at this moment: "You can stay overnight in the training room. It's cheaper than a restaurant."
Only then did Chi Yu remember that there was such a place.
Practice rooms are a very common concept, just like study rooms in modern society. Even the smallest cities will provide rental services for practice caves.
Chi Yu rented a training room for a day. The cheapest training room only cost one low-grade spirit stone, and a stone bed was provided.
After renting a training room, Chi Yu couldn't sleep anymore. He was woken up by Xie Xiyi's cold.
Ling Hezhou chatted with him: "Why is this spiritual sword so close to you?"
Chi Yu said, "I don't know. Maybe I'm the chosen one, and it was intimidated by my domineering aura and followed me voluntarily."
Ling Hezhou: "Ah?"
Chi Yu spoke in an unfathomable tone, "There's a kind of person in this world who is the darling of Heaven. All resources will be tilted towards this person. No matter how outstanding the immortal sect's genius is, they will become this person's stepping stone and whetstone. And this person usually has the following characteristics: First, they are born in a humble family. Second, their spiritual roots are usually the weakest of the five spiritual roots. Third, this person appears with a white-bearded old man hidden in a ring, thumb ring, parchment scroll, etc., to teach them the truth and answer their questions. Fourth, this person is usually bullied by all kinds of provocations. Fifth, many spiritual treasures, inheritances, handsome men and beautiful women will flock to this person. Sixth, this person will eventually become a peerless genius, crushing everyone else. People who meet the above characteristics are generally nicknamed Long Aotian."
Ling Hezhou: “?”
Chi Yu said, "Look, I meet several of the above criteria."
"Uh." Ling Hezhou thought for a moment and asked, "The third one, isn't it about me?"
Chi Yu: "That's right! I'm not talented, but I only met five of the above criteria. The last one is my future progressive tense."
Ling Hezhou recalled, "I think I've heard the name Long Aotian somewhere before."
Chi Yu: "Hmm? Have you heard of it?"
Ling Hezhou thought for a moment and said, "I have indeed heard of him. It seems he was from my father's generation. He was indeed a man of extraordinary talent. My father and he seemed to be very good friends."
Chi Yu: "Why is it similar?"
"Because that person has a lot of friends." Ling Hezhou became excited when talking about his father. "Speaking of which, my father used to study Zen in Zizaizhou. Zizaizhou is a holy place for Buddhism, and the monks here basically practice Zen. Don't get me wrong, not all the people who go to Zizaizhou to study are monks. In fact, many monks go to Zizaizhou to study. The land there has the effect of enlightenment, and it is rich in the Buddhist holy treasure Pipal trees, also known as Bodhi trees. Every leaf of the Bodhi trees there is a treasure that can increase the chance of sudden enlightenment. Your cultivation level is still low and you don't understand. Many monks are stuck on the path of sudden enlightenment. If they succeed in sudden enlightenment, they will reach a higher realm and increase their lifespan by thousands of years. If they fail in sudden enlightenment, they will die and their Taoism will disappear. So it was very popular to go to Zizaizhou to study back then.
Ordinary monks couldn't go there; they had to be exceptionally gifted. Furthermore, there was a principle of karmic affinity. A monk without karmic affinity, no matter how exceptionally gifted, would not be accepted. I'm telling you this because of a remarkable incident that occurred at the time. My father never mentioned it, and I heard about it from others. There was a man who had been enrolled with my father and had long been destined to become a disciple of the Anuttara Buddhist order. Rumor had it that if he didn't cultivate Buddhism, he would fall into the endless hells. His cultivation of Zen and his attainment of Buddhahood were considered a great merit. Master Ruoku, who recommended him to the Zen sect, immediately advanced to a new level after his admission. If that man truly attained Buddhahood, Master Ruoku would be able to transcend the causal union and achieve Nirvana.
When he said this, Chao Jue deliberately waited for a moment. Chi Yu took the bait and asked, "And then?"
Ling Hezhou continued with satisfaction, "Then, this would-be Buddhist rebelled against the Zen sect, killed many people, and completely fell into evil. The Zen Master Ruoku, who recommended him, was also severely implicated. Not only did he lose all his cultivation, he was also sentenced to five hundred years in prison."
Chi Yu was shocked. "Isn't that too much? Is the punishment this severe for just a recommendation?"
Ling Hezhou said, "He bet that the man could attain Buddhahood. If he wins, his family will ascend to heaven, his merits will be increased, his wisdom will be enlightened, and he will reach nirvana, where he will be neither born nor destroyed, and will be free from all action. If he loses, he will only lose all his merits and be sentenced to 500 years in prison. This punishment is already very mild. If he wins, the merits he will gain are unimaginable. I'm afraid he could even become a Pratyekabuddha."
Chi Yu said honestly, "I don't quite understand. I don't know much about this."
Ling Hezhou laughed and said, "It's normal that you don't understand. If you have a chance in the future, you can go to Zizaizhou. The land there is very special and very suitable for cultivation. But ever since that incident, Zizaizhou has become extremely xenophobic and the Zen sect's acceptance of monks has become much stricter, making it very difficult to enter the school. Let's talk about it again when we have a chance."
Chi Yu took it to heart and asked, "Where's that friend of your father's you mentioned? Is he still there?"
Ling Hezhou said, "He's probably gone. I saw his memorial tablet in my father's treasure house. In mortal circles, memorial tablets are wooden plaques used to commemorate the deceased. On special occasions, they offer three kinds of meat and fine wine. It's an interesting custom. But it's like burying a corpse on the road. It doesn't have much meaning."
Chi Yu: "."
Chi Yu continued excitedly, "The old Long Aotian has passed away, and the new Long Aotian is rising like the morning sun. Yes, I'm talking about me!"
He lowered his head and asked Huandian: "Huandian! Are you willing to lend me a hand?"
Huandian rubbed him, expressing his positive intention.
Chi Yu asked Ling Hezhou: "Ling Hezhou, are you willing to be my white-bearded grandfather?"
Ling Hezhou: "Ah..."
He was shocked to see the devil's sword turn so smoothly, and then an indescribable sense of crisis came over him, causing him to speak unconsciously: "Uh, I am willing... But it can only be temporary, I still have to return to Tianyan Sect."
Chi Yu said: "It's okay, Grandpa Whitebeard is only temporary, because in the middle and late stages, Grandpa Whitebeard will either want to take over Long Aotian's body, or he will be squeezed dry and laid off."
Ling Hezhou: "..."
Chi Yu said happily: "Although I come from a humble background, I also have great ambitions."
"When the great roc soars with the wind, it soars up to ninety thousand miles! Now a traveler returning from the rivers and seas, he will one day be a man in the sky!" [Note 1]
His happiness seemed to infect the phantom lightning in his arms, which responded with a clear sword sound different from before.
Ling Hezhou was shocked and felt complicated. He had never seen such a person before.
His happiness and joy were without reason, and he had a vitality more vigorous and vigorous than the magic of bringing spring back to a dead tree. Just looking at him was delightful, as if one was assimilated and infected by it.
Chi Yu said, "By the way, don't call me by my name from now on. Call me Long Aotian! The identity I have outside is given by myself. If I say I am Long Aotian, then I am Long Aotian!"
Ling Hezhou: "..."
This name is not as nice as Chi Yu.
