Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 182 Heart Refining Ring

During the day, the Shutong of the Lanxi scholar came over and asked Ning Caichen and Ma Junji if they had met his son.

The book boy fell into a coma all night, and no one cared about it, so he escaped a catastrophe.Ning Caichen and Ma Junji had no choice but to say that they hadn't seen it. Although they were lying, they still wanted to help Lanxi scholar hide it.

The book boy glanced suspiciously at Ning and Ma, but these two frail scholars really didn't look like villains, so they had to leave angrily and search around Lanyin Temple.

Nature is nothing.

Hearing the voice of the book boy and leaving, the pig demon lying next to the monk's house was crying, knowing that he would never go back.

Gong Mengbi asked: "Have you thought about what to do in the future? Now that your mind and body are mixed together, you will definitely be beaten to death as a demon when you go out."

The pig demon wept and said: "You are an immortal, please save my life. I was originally a scholar rushing for an exam, how can I survive in this state now?"

Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Why can't you live like this? Hiding deep in the mountains, you can be self-sufficient. Mixing among the monsters and bandits, you might be able to occupy the mountains and become king."

The pig demon couldn't stop crying, and said: "I don't want to die of old age deep in the mountains, and I don't want to be with demons and bandits."

Gong Mengbi pondered and said: "Then we can only practice hard and become human."

The pig demon's heart lit up when he heard that there was still a possibility of transforming back into human form, and immediately begged: "I beg the immortal to guide me, how can I change back into human form?"

Gong Mengbi said: "You are now full of greed, and your mind and body are entangled, which is why you have become this half-human, half-pig appearance. If you can't keep your heart and righteous thoughts and subdue your greed, you will never be able to change back .”

The pig demon struggled to get up, kowtowed and said: "I beg the immortal to show me the way."

Gong Mengbi saw his pitiful appearance with tears running down his cheeks, and said: "Forget it, I can teach you the method of keeping your mind and righteous thoughts. As long as you can keep your mind, you can gradually change back. If you can't keep it, you will change back. You have nowhere to go now, if you want, you can stay in Lanyin Temple and work with Xiaoqian to take care of the temple for me."

The pig demon said: "I am willing!"

Gong Mengbi helped him up and asked, "What's your name?"

The pig demon said: "With my current appearance, how dare I use my previous name, please ask the immortal to give me a name."

Gong Mengbi glanced at him, a little surprised at his ingenuity, not as stupid as he was when he was blinded by profit.Gong Mengbi did not refuse, and said: "With your appearance, let's take Zhu as your surname, call it Zhu Zhengxin, and always remind yourself to be righteous."

The pig demon knew that it was his own greed and desire for profit that caused him to suffer this calamity, and the pain and regret in his heart were like a tide, so he immediately responded, "You must follow the teachings of the immortal."

Gong Mengbi glanced at him, and said: "Speak lightly now, I'm afraid you won't care about these things when your mind is undecided and your mind is out of control."

The pig demon doesn't know why.

Gong Mengbi said: "You will know."

Gong Mengbi took a lock of pig demon's long hair and weaved it together with wormwood to form a grass ring, which was hung around Zhu Zhengxin's neck.

"I don't have any materials for a while, so let's just make do with it. This is the heart refining ring, don't take it off, it will come in handy."

Ask Zhu Zhengxin to sit down, and Gong Mengbi will teach him how to watch the moon.

The bright moon is like a mirror, always reflecting my heart.

This is a small technique realized from the moon worship method, it is only a way to calm one's mind, it cannot produce mana through cultivation, so it is not considered a method of cultivation.

After Zhu Zhengxin got the method of watching the moon, he tried his best to digest it, but he couldn't succeed for a while.

Gong Mengbi used the illusion to help him, and sent Mingyue to his spirit, allowing him to gradually fall into samadhi.

Once you can get into samadhi, just remember this feeling and gradually try to get closer, there will be a second and third time, and you will gradually get better.

After Gong Mengbi left the monk's house, Yan Chixia had already recovered.

Gong Mengbi hadn't had time to ask him about the danger of last night, but when he asked him now, hearing him talk about the confrontation with Sanhua Tiannv, his heart was ups and downs for a while.

In order to hold back Sanhua Tiannv, Yan Chixia used up all the life-saving talismans given by her master at parting, and Gong Mengbi felt a little guilty.

On the contrary, Yan Chixia didn't care, and said: "It's okay, but every dead thing has to be used up."

This friend, Gong Mengbi has made an appointment.In fact, after going through life and death this night, they are already friends. After all, people can be stubborn, but the wishing tree will not lie.

Gong Mengbi, Yan Chixia, Ning Caichen, and Ma Junji chatted together. Yan Chixia came all the way from Qin, and saw a lot of weird things.

Last year, there was a severe drought in the Northwest, the current situation was unstable, and people's hearts were in turmoil.Mountain monsters and wild ghosts have all come out to cause trouble. In addition, those quacks, evil spirits, and demons have also come out to deceive people.

When Gong Mengbi asked him about the imperial capital, Yan Chixia didn't know.His master did not allow his disciples to go to the imperial capital easily, he only knew that Ye Tianshi led the gods to sweep away the evil atmosphere, and what happened afterwards are all rumors.

The four of them chatted until late at night.

The two scholars slept peacefully, and Gong Mengbi and Yan Chixia began to exchange Taoism.

One is the method of flying to the moon, the way of the moon.One is Nine Suns Zhengfa, Taiyi Xuanmen.

Speaking of the law of yin and yang, it is rather like looking in the mirror to find flaws and weaknesses.

Chatting from dark night to dawn, Xiaoqian and Zhu Zhengxin listened on the sidelines. Most of the time, they felt cloudy and foggy, but the parts that they could understand felt very mysterious.

Until dawn, when Ning Caichen and Ma Junji woke up, Yan Chixia got up to leave.

Ning Caichen and Ma Junji were very reluctant, Yan Chixia laughed and said: "There is no permanent banquet in the world. I originally went to Qiantang to find relatives, but it has been delayed for several days. You also have to prepare for the exam, so you should not be distracted. "

Gong Mengbi was very free and easy, and said: "Brother Yan has a safe journey, I will go to Qiantang as a guest in the future, if you are still there, I will go look for you."

Yan Chixia said: "That's good, when the time comes, my host will treat you to a drink."

Ning Caichen and Ma Junji began to wonder if it was because he had run out of wine in his wine bag, so he couldn't stay longer.

Yan Chixia bid farewell to everyone and left Lanyin Temple.

Gong Mengbi explained a few words to Xiaoqian and Zhu Zhengxin, and then bid farewell to Ning Caichen and Ma Junji.

The lives of Ning Caichen and Ma Junji finally got on the right track, they began to study day and night, and devoted themselves to preparing for the exam.

Zhu Zhengxin's bookboy searched for several days in Lanyin Temple, but he couldn't find Zhu Zhengxin.Later, Xiaoqian came up with an idea and asked Zhu Zhengxin to leave him a letter, saying that she was going to seek immortality and visit Taoism, and she didn't know when she would be able to return.

The book boy just packed up his things and went down the mountain.

In order not to disturb Ning Sheng and Ma Sheng's study, Zhu Zhengxin still lived in the East Wing, isolated from them, and practiced the moon-watching method every day to focus on it.

At first he didn't understand what the heart-refining ring on his neck was for, until one morning he woke up hungry and didn't feel full after eating all the dry food, and he still didn't feel full after catching two hares and roasting them. Seeing Ning Caichen and Ma Junji who were studying in the east chamber, they felt as if they smelled meat.

The eyes were red, the nose was blowing, and the saliva was flowing, giving birth to an evil thought of cannibalism.

But before he could take any action, the heart training ring around his neck caught fire, causing him to tremble and roll on the ground in pain.

Ning Caichen and Ma Junji didn't know what happened, they came over to greet him, only to see him sweating profusely, with lingering fear in his heart, looking at Ning Sheng and Ma Sheng full of guilt.

Ning Caichen asked him what was wrong, but he only said that the evil thoughts were hard to tame and there was no serious problem.

From then on, he understood why Gong Mengbi said that the most difficult time is when the mind is unsteady and the mind is unrestrained.His mind is greedy, greedy for money, lust, gluttony and all kinds of greed, especially when the mind is manifested, without the shackles of the body, it will often be touched without knowing where, and give birth to evil thoughts.

The heart-refining ring works at this moment, burning desires in his heart, making him wake up in pain, so that he won't make a wrong step, and it's hard to turn back.
