Volume 1 Chapter 6 Blackbird Is Awesome
Chapter 6 Blackbird is very arrogant ()
Zhang Pa was startled to see that it was a talking blackbird, and immediately ran out of the door. Turning around, he saw that the blackbird did not chase him out. He carefully went back to the house to observe. After all, he was a disciple guarding the mountain, and it was his duty. He could not abandon the mountain and run away.
The blackbird still looked at him with contempt and disdain, but it had no ill intentions. Looking at its appearance, Zhang Pa vaguely remembered something and seemed to have some impression of this bird. He asked boldly: "Who are you? Are you Uncle Shengqin?"
The blackbird was very proud: "Nonsense, besides me, which other bird around Tianlei Mountain can talk?"
Seeing that the blackbird admitted its identity, Zhang Pa put away the dagger with confidence, walked back to the house and saluted respectfully: "Disciple Hongwu greets Uncle Shengqin." The blackbird shook its head and was very satisfied with Zhang Pa's politeness: "Boy is polite, you are also a disciple of Tianlei? Why are you so timid?" Zhang Pa blushed and whispered yes.
Shengqin was a little dissatisfied: "If you are really getting worse and worse, accepting everyone, how can I face people if this gets out?"
Zhang Pa's face became uglier, but he didn't dare to talk back.
The black bird landed on Zhang Pa's shoulder: "Boy, what treasure do you hide? Show it to me."
"Treasure? What treasure can a disciple have?" Zhang Pa didn't understand.
The black bird was a little angry: "So, you doubt my cultivation?"
"Disciple dare not." Zhang Pa was so scared that he wanted to kneel down, but the bird landed on his shoulder, and he didn't know who to kneel for.
"Don't hide it, take it out for me to see, I'm not asking for yours, I felt my spiritual roots shining as soon as I came out of retreat, how can it be fake?" Black bird believed in his judgment.
"But the disciple really doesn't have any treasure, uncle can search for it." Just after he finished speaking, Zhang Pa suddenly thought of those snake eggs. Could it be that Shengqin was talking about snake eggs?
The black bird snorted coldly: "Little man, do you think I really want some treasure? I'm just curious and want to know what it is. If you don't show it to me, I won't show it."
Birds and snakes are eternal enemies, and they are very sensitive to each other, especially the spiritual pets and monsters of the first level of divine objects. The black bird just came out of retreat and sensed that something seemed to be wrong in the direction of the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave. After exploring with spiritual consciousness, it was sure that there was no danger, but it always felt something was wrong in its heart, and there was a strange breath. So without waiting for the owner to come out of retreat, it came alone to explore, but met Zhang Pa who denied everything, which made it furious. The anger replaced the wrong feeling, and for a while it forgot the purpose of its coming.
The black bird rolled its eyes: "You are also my younger disciple. It is fate to meet. Come, let me teach you a little." The black bird was of a very high generation, so it couldn't openly bully the weak, so it had other ideas to teach him a lesson. Zhang Pa had to agree.
A man and a bird came to the outdoors. The black bird said, "Use your most powerful magic to hit me." Zhang Pa said, "I dare not." The black bird glared, "You are stingy and cowardly, are you a man?"
Zhang Pa was a little annoyed by what he said, so he said, "I'm sorry." He cast water magic and shot more than a thousand ice cones at the black bird. The black bird nodded, "Although your realm is not high, you are good at using magic. Why don't you use magic tools?" The black bird talked to itself, completely ignoring the thousands of ice cones. Zhang Pa was so scared that he shouted, "Uncle Master, be careful!"
The black bird still did not move, allowing the ice cones to hit its body. In an instant, the thousands of ice cones collided with the black bird's body, making a crackling sound, but it did not cause any damage. The collision instantly turned into powder. The black bird nodded again, "Not bad, there was not a single waste of more than a thousand ice cones, all hitting me. The ability to use magic is really good, but it's a pity that the magic power is a little weak." He tilted his head and continued, "I took yours, you take mine too." As he spoke, he waved his wings lightly.
Zhang Pa had already put on layers of armor for himself. Seeing the black bird coming to attack, he was busy preparing for defense. However, a wind blade easily tore his six layers of armor apart and blew him into the air, then he fell off the cliff and rolled down the hillside. Zhang Pa tried to hold up his body, but found that his whole body was entangled by a stream of energy and he could not move at all. He had no choice but to roll down the mountain like a ball. He was strong and could not be fatally injured, but he could not avoid the pain of flesh and blood. His clothes were torn and his skin was scratched. It was difficult for him to stop at the foot of the mountain. Zhang Pa was angry. Although he hated the black bird, he had no way to retaliate, so he had to endure it and climb up the mountain.
As soon as Zhang Pa fell down the mountain, the black bird could tell that something was wrong in the house, and the strange weak breath had not moved at all. It flew back to see. There were very few household items in the house, and it was clear at a glance. Only a pile of miscellaneous items on the table were suspicious. The black bird landed on the table and took a closer look. It was just a pile of the lowest and most tattered so-called armor. Why did it make him uneasy? Could there be something hidden in this pile of rubbish?
Just as the black bird was about to open it to read, a loud voice rang out from outside the door: "Zhenru greets Master Yan." The black bird snorted and flew outside. The head of Tianlei Mountain, Taoist Zhenru, stood respectfully at the door. The black bird spoke in a carefree manner: "You are here."
Master Zhenru asked respectfully: "Master Yan, I wonder if Master Tieguan has come out of retreat?"
The black bird was impatient: "It will be soon. If you have anything, ask him. If you have nothing else, go ahead." The black bird was thinking about the tattered armor in the house.
Master Zhenru was still respectful: "Knowing that Master Yan has come out of retreat, the disciple ordered people to prepare pear fruit. I wonder if Master will eat it here or go back to the cave?"
Plow fruit? I haven't eaten it for more than ten years. When I heard the name, my mouth was full of saliva. The black bird turned his head to look at the thatched cottage. With a balanced mind, he could never resist the temptation of plow fruit.
At this time, Zhang Pa climbed up the mountain in a miserable state with wounds all over his body. Seeing Zhenru there, he hurriedly greeted him. Master Zhenru looked at him and frowned: "How did it get like this?"
Zhang Pa stammered: "My disciple accidentally fell down the mountain..."
Zhenru waved his hand and sighed deeply in his heart. He was so disappointed, but he didn't say it. He turned to ask the black bird: "I don't know if Master..." Seeing Zhang Pa's unlucky look, the black bird felt a little relieved. In addition, Zhenru was nagging again, so he thought to himself: "Anyway, this rubbish can't run away. Let's eat the fruit first and come back when we have time." So he said: "Go back to the cave." Spread his wings and flew away.
Zhenru also flew into the air. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked back and couldn't believe his eyes. He quickly landed and came to Zhang Pa: "Top level of Qi Refining? After a few months, you actually jumped from the middle level to the top level? How did you practice?"
Zhang Pa was also confused by this question. Although he guessed that the spiritual energy of the snake eggs was given to him, he didn't know how it was given. He answered honestly: "Disciple doesn't know."
Master Zhenru was speechless with Zhang Pa. He didn't know whether this guy was stupid or smart. He didn't know anything and was as timid as a mouse. No, he was even more timid than a mouse. However, he practiced diligently and learned magic very quickly. Zhenru sighed, knowing that it was useless to ask, and directly threw him a jade slip: "This is the Jingxin Jue, practice it well."
Zhang Pa took the rectangular palm-sized white jade piece, turned it over and over for a long time but couldn't see any words. He asked Zhenru with a worried look: "Master, there are no words on it."
Zhenru was stunned when he heard this, and smiled bitterly in his heart: "I give up, I give up completely. The top-level Qi training masters don't know how to use jade slips." He had to patiently teach Zhang Pa how to use it. Zhang Pa came into contact with this thing for the first time. He followed the method taught by the master to stick the jade slip on his forehead and manipulate his soul to read it. The powerful mental power protruded from his forehead and entered the jade slip. Only when he probed out his spiritual consciousness, many words immediately appeared in his mind, which scared him. This way of reading is definitely more convenient and faster than reading with the eyes, and it is also more reliable to remember. Zhang Pa thanked the headmaster, Zhenru waved his hand, thought for a moment and asked: "Don't you have a storage bag?" Zhang Pa replied: "No."
Zhenru threw one to him: "The method of use is similar to the jade slip, both are controlled by the soul... No, you don't need to stick it on your forehead!" Zhang Pa was very excited to take the storage bag. Hearing the headmaster say that it is used the same as the jade slip, he hurriedly put it on his forehead to learn how to use it, but it turned out to be a joke.
Zhenru was so angry that he couldn't laugh, and patiently explained: "Spiritual consciousness is the perception method of the soul. Release the spiritual consciousness. If you want to collect something, put the spiritual consciousness on something, and then control it with your mind to put it in the bag. When you take something out, probe the spiritual consciousness into the storage bag, select the item and take it out with your mind."
Zhang Pa was happy and excited when he came into contact with a magical instrument for the first time. He kept looking at it and playing with it. Seeing him happy, Zhenru also smiled, waiting for a while and then asked kindly: "Is there anything you don't understand?"
Zhang Pa thought of the snake eggs and replied respectfully: "No, but can you give me another beast-controlling bag?"
Zhenru didn't understand: "Why do you need that thing? Since you want to use it, I'll ask the Soul Control Hall to give you one later." Zhang Pa was overjoyed and thanked the headmaster again.
