Volume 1 Chapter 7 Black Bird of Prey

Chapter 7 Black Bird Flame ()

On Tianlei Mountain, Zhang Pa thought the headmaster was the best. Although he was unwilling to talk to him like everyone else and sent him to the cave of all beasts to guard the gate, he was the best person to him.

Because he was timid and unmanly, others hated him and wanted to drive him down the mountain, but the headmaster didn't allow it. To practice magic, the Tianlei Divine Art must be passed down orally. The disciples who were passing on the art were unwilling to teach him, so the headmaster taught him personally and made an exception to allow him to enter the Sutra Pavilion to read books. Zhang Pa was really grateful to the headmaster, but unfortunately he didn't know that he became a Taoist priest because of the headmaster.

Seeing Zhang Pa happy, Zhenru was also happy, but she was still a little depressed. When he was fighting a life-and-death duel with someone, the opponent was too strong, forcing him to do his best. At that time, Zhang Pa's parents went up the mountain, so the following things happened. Although he won the duel that year, he created karma. No matter how hard he practiced for more than ten years, he made no progress. Everything has a cause and an effect. His fight was the cause, and Zhang Pa's parents died and Zhang Pa became a Taoist priest. If Master Zhenru wanted to advance to the next level in cultivation, he had to eliminate the effect, so he would favor Zhang Pa. To put it bluntly, he was eliminating his karma.

After Zhenru left, Zhang Pa was still very excited. He ran back to the house, put all his junk into the storage bag, and then took it out, then put it in again and took it out again, having a lot of fun. However, he didn't dare to put the snake eggs in. Although he didn't know what would happen specifically, the storage bag was definitely different from the beast taming bag. He would talk about it after he had the beast taming bag.

The master was efficient in doing things. In the afternoon, a disciple from the Control Spirit Hall came to deliver the beast taming bag. According to the disciple, this was one of the best beast taming bags. As long as there were living objects, they could be put in, and the number of objects that could be stored was very large. Zhang Pa was a little worried and asked the disciple: "If we put the puppy in, will anyone know that there is a puppy in the bag?" The disciple of the Control Spirit Hall smiled and replied: "How could it be? Unless you open the bag and use your spiritual sense to look inside, otherwise, if you close the bag, even the owner will not know what is inside."

After the disciple of the Control Spirit Hall left, Zhang Pa took the snake eggs off the soft armor and put them into the beast-controlling bag one by one. After checking, there were exactly 128 snake eggs. After tying the bag mouth and patting it casually, the bag was flat as paper. I really don't know where the snake eggs went. Zhang Pa put the bag against his chest and forehead and tried to use his spiritual sense to explore it. The result was like dead water, without any signs of life, let alone the leakage of spiritual energy.

Speaking of which, Zhang Pa's luck is really good. The snake eggs are originally full of spiritual energy and cannot be hidden. Not to mention the fateful enemy like the black bird, even ordinary people can feel the abnormality. By chance, he accidentally sucked away the spiritual energy, and the snake eggs were left with only a weak life, so the black bird was careless. Although he felt something was wrong, he did not really investigate, otherwise the fate of these snake eggs could be imagined.

Once discovered, not only the fate of the snake eggs is unpredictable, but Zhang Pa will be even worse off. He took it without asking, deceived and did not report it, especially the precious monster eggs. If he was discovered, the lightest punishment would probably be to abolish his entire body and be expelled from the mountain gate. Zhang Pa shuddered at the thought of this. But no matter how scared he was, no matter how much he wanted to throw away the snake eggs, it couldn't resist that tear. The resentful eyes of the big snake's soul, the crystal clear tear, always made Zhang Pa feel heartbroken and sad. Maybe subconsciously, he also wanted to have a mother.

He took the risk of doing something he shouldn't have done, and of course he was worried about the truth being exposed. Just when he was worried that the black bird would come back, the head of the sect sent the beast taming bag, and now his problem became how to hide the beast taming bag. This was much simpler.

He knew who the black bird was. When they were at the main peak, the disciples of the sect would chatter about the gods in the sect every day, hoping that they could become gods one day. Zhang Pa would hear the disciples chattering.

The name of the black bird is Yanying, a high-level fire-type monster. His master is Tieguan Zhenren, a legendary figure in Tianlei Mountain. It is said that he has lived for thousands of years and is a master of the Yuanying level. Legend has it that when Tieguan Taoist was young, he was extremely intelligent and talented. He entered the foundation-building period early and defeated the high-level monster Yanying several times with his foundation-building cultivation, and formed a life-and-death agreement with him. And in the future cultivation, he used his great magical powers to help Yanying open his language ability.

Generally speaking, a mature Yanying can be compared to a mid-stage Jindan master, but this Yanying is said to have reached the late stage of Jindan with the help of Tieguan Zhenren. Not to mention the mid-stage or late stage of Jindan masters, even the early stage of Jindan is a god in the eyes of the disciples. What a high level of cultivation is that? In addition, the identity of Master Tieguan is special. To show respect, the younger disciples call Yan Wei "Master Uncle". Among some new disciples, it is even said that he is the Holy Bird of Tianlei Mountain.

Zhang Pa gestured back and forth to the beast-taming bag, thinking about where to hide it. After thinking it over, he still used the old method, sewing the beast-taming bag flat into the interlayer of clothes and wearing it. The pearl tear, like a dead object, makes people feel that it does not exist. It is fine even if it is placed next to you, but Zhang Pa still puts it in the beast-taming bag. In his mind, the inherent idea is that the mother must always be with the child.

After these are packed up, he fiddled with the storage bag. The storage bag carried by the Zhenru master is of course better than ordinary mortals. Although he can't tell, Zhang Pa just thinks it is good. Maybe it is strong? Maybe it has a large capacity?

Zhang Pa took out all the broken armor he had just put in, and stuffed it with the jade slip, the only so-called treasure on him. Then he tied it firmly around his waist, walked back and forth, and pretended to be a big shot and strolled around. After practicing hard for more than ten years, he was finally recognized by the headmaster as a disciple of Tianlei Mountain. He thought he was very happy.

The next morning, before Zhang Pa got up, Yan Wei appeared in the house. Last night, the mysterious aura that made him uneasy suddenly disappeared, which made Yan Wei very strange. He immediately released his spiritual sense to cover Tianlei Mountain for search, but he found nothing after working hard all night. Since his questions could not be answered, of course he had to ask Zhang Pa for clarification.

Zhang Pa's answers were all unclear, and he didn't know anything about spiritual roots or abnormal situations.

The smell of snake eggs was very weak, so weak that it was difficult to detect, so weak that Yan Wei took the initiative to help Zhang Pa make up a reason. It thought that some kind of earth-walking spirit beast happened to live underground, and because it felt that its spiritual energy was strong, it escaped and left.

So Zhang Pa passed the test safely. Soon, Yan Wei forgot about this matter and flew all over the mountains again, looking for new fun and focus.

These days, Zhang Pa worked hard to practice the Jingxin Jue. He wanted to enter the Ziguang Pavilion and get more recognition. First of all, he had to get rid of his timidity.

Jingxin Jue is a method of strengthening the mind and wisdom, which is very effective in calming the mind and expelling the demons. This technique was originally developed by Taoist masters in the Jindan stage to protect their minds when they broke through their cultivation and entered the Yuanying stage, in order to avoid the invasion of inner demons and cause obsession, which led to the failure of forming a baby. It has a single function, is easy to learn, and is limited by cultivation. The lower the cultivation, the smaller the results of cultivation. If the cultivation is even lower, it is impossible to practice.

Zhang Pa is only in the Qi Refining stage. His cultivation is too low, and the effect of practicing the Jingxin Jue is not very great. He is still afraid of thunder, but he can already hold back and stop shouting.

This result makes him a little depressed. The Jingxin Jue is just protection, isolation, and just hiding all kinds of bad scenes. It can't really make him stop being timid. It seems that it is really difficult to become bold.

But for now, there is only one method, the Jingxin Jue. In order to make the Jingxin Jue more powerful, he must practice hard.
