"What exactly is a thorn?" Madman Zhuo became serious. He raised his hands behind his back and looked focused, like a master, and talked eloquently, "To put it bluntly, a thorn is actually a weapon. As long as you hold it in your hand, it will help improve your skills. Anything with its own ability can be called a thorn, such as a hunter's bow and arrow, a knight's riding crop, a farmer's hoe, a cook's kitchen knife, etc., all of which can be called thorns. In the world, the most popular and commonly used thorns. , that is, the 'Wine Sword Dan Talisman', known as the 'Four Famous Thorns' in the world" "As for the magic thorn, it refers to the best quality thorn, and it is a treasure that can be strengthened as one's personal cultivation deepens. Weapons can be found but not sought. Because cultivation and magic thorns can complement each other and complement each other, personal abilities can increase day by day and be greatly improved. All people who have magic thorns are unique. One's strong hand is enough to make one proud and invincible. " Gao Yang asked in a confused way: "So, the golden gourd you mentioned before is the magic thorn?" Madman Zhuo nodded with some satisfaction and said: "Exactly." Gao Yang scratched his head and asked, "If the magic thorn is so powerful, why were you snatched away by those people?" Crazy Zhuo couldn't help but be speechless. He couldn't honestly say that the magic thorn was stolen from him, and someone had already snatched it away before he could fully control the magic thorn. He has the best face in his life, so naturally he cannot say such embarrassing things. "Things are not as simple as you think." Madman Zhuo hummed awkwardly and said, "You don't understand anything, so of course you don't know how complicated it is." Gao Yang opened his mouth as if he wanted something. Asked, Madman Zhuo quickly changed the subject and said: "Okay, this is the basic common sense about 'thorn'. Next, I will introduce to you the so-called 'qi'" "Qi, It is called "murderous energy", also known as "Shenzhou Sutra": If the sky is out of order, it will be killed. If the earth is out of order, it will be killed. Refining the thorn weapon, refining the thorn weapon to maintain the normal order This means that as long as you practice the 'murderous aura' and refine the 'magic thorn', you can be fearless in the world and maintain the order of the world." Gao Yang wondered: "Why? It¡¯s called murderous spirit, but it¡¯s also called integrity. Why do his parents give him so many names? Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s troublesome?¡± Madman Zhuo heard this, and after half a day of contact, he began to get used to this kid¡¯s weird words. . After sorting out his thoughts for a while, he said: "The source of 'Murderous Qi' comes from the "Shenzhou Sutra". This sutra has been around for a long time. It is the longest and oldest strange book in the Shenzhou Continent. Who is the author? It cannot be tested. Because the Shenzhou Sutra has been regarded as a guide by cultivators from ancient times to the present, the word "murderous spirit" has also been widely spread. As for "Integrity", it originated from a generation of Confucian ancestors, the "Sage Immortal". When the Master Kong came to the world, the Immortal Master spoke of the word "murderous spirit". His intention to kill and kill was too strong, which was contrary to the laws of nature and ethics. Therefore, he ordered his disciples to write the "Commentary to the Divine State Sutra", in which he translated "murderous spirit" It is called "integrity". Those who consider themselves upright feel that "integrity" is indeed more pleasant to hear than "murderous spirit", so they naturally agree with it, so the term "integrity" has also been passed down" "In "Comments", it is said There is a sentence like this: "Innate bones, acquired thorns If a person has no spine, he cannot stand on his own. If a person does not have a thorn, he cannot strengthen himself A person can unite the thorns into one body, so he can dominate the universe" It means: "Eh? Little bastard, where are you?" Madman Zhuo said with great interest, but when he looked back, Gao Yang was nowhere to be seen. Just when he was about to find out his luck, he saw Gao Yang suddenly rushing out of the river from the bottom of the river, holding a crucian carp weighing three or four kilograms in his hand, showing off to Crazy Zhuo: "Crazy Zhuo, we have something to eat. This There are a lot of fish in the river, enough for me to eat for several meals." After saying that, he opened his big mouth and bit the lively crucian carp. "Eating live fish?" Crazy Zhuo was startled and quickly stopped him, "Hey, hey, hey, we are civilized people, please roast it before eating it, okay?" Gao Yang said with a depressed face, "I When I was at home, I would always eat them cooked. But now that I'm away from home, I can't make a fire, and I'm so hungry that I can only make do with what I have to eat. You've been carrying me for so long. Are you hungry? "After Gao Yang said this, Madman Zhuo really felt a little hungry. But he couldn't bear to eat it raw, so he gathered his strength, took it from a distance, sucked the crucian carp from Gao Yang's hand, and then processed it briefly to remove the internal organs. The other hand miraculously became red and hot, and in just a few moments, it was done. The whole body of the crucian carp is roasted red and cooked through. The smell of fish is fragrant. Gao Yang seemed to be possessed and jumped towards the crucian carp. Crazy Zhuo laughed. No matter how weird this kid was, he was still just a child. Gao Yang was eating with relish and asked: "Crazy Zhuo, how did you do it? Can you teach me?" Zhuo Crazy?He said: "Of course I can teach you, but you have to agree to a few conditions first." "Uh-huh, uh-huh." Gao Yang nodded with a mouth full of fish. Crazy Zhuo said: "First of all, my surname is Zhuo and my given name is Feng. I am a famous assassin. If you learn from me, you are not allowed to call me Crazy Zhuo anymore, but you have to change your name to 'Master'. Do you understand?" Gao Yang Inertia He nodded as if, then paused, shook his head again, and said, "That won't work. I have a master at home. Can I change my name?" Madman Zhuo was startled for a moment, and thought to himself: "Is this weird? Guy, do you really have an expert to guide you? But after observing this, this kid doesn¡¯t understand anything, and there is no sign of any inner strength in his body. He is just an uncivilized brat. How can he be a master? The madman didn't believe it, so he caught a few more big fish and roasted them. He also took out a green bag from his pocket, selected some seasonings from it and sprinkled it on the fish to make it full of color, fragrance and flavor. He worked as a cook in Shangqing Mountain for several years, and he developed the habit of carrying condiments with him. Anyway, this green bag can contain everything, is waterproof and fireproof, and he doesn't need to bring more gadgets. "It's delicious. Come and call Master." Crazy Zhuo planned to seduce Gao Yang with this delicious food, but he didn't know that although this kid was stupid and foolish, he just wouldn't let go and called "Master". Madman Zhuo knew that people with simple minds are always the most persistent, so he let him go. After thinking about it, he said, "It's okay if you don't call me master, but you have to help me get the magic thorn back, right?" "No. The problem is mine." Gao Yang agreed without saying a word. Madman Zhuo looked at Gao Yang biting the fish in the dark, and listened to his heartless response. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. This kid didn't understand the concept of the Shangqing Sect at all. If he really asked him for help, things might become worse. It's getting more and more difficult. You must know that for this magical thorn, Madman Zhuo worked hard to hide in Shangqing Mountain. He stayed there for four years. He finally found out the way and waited for the golden opportunity for the leader of the Shangqing Sect to practice in seclusion before he succeeded. However, it was not as good as God, but such a freak unexpectedly appeared in the middle of the journey, causing everyone to fall short. After this incident, the Shangqing Sect would inevitably guard Fa Ci even more strictly. For a while, Madman Zhuo didn't know how to start. The reason why he took Gao Yang with him all the way was because his integrity was damaged when he competed with Li Hanguang before. He thought that taking Gao Yang abducted would make Li Hanguang more vulnerable and give him an extra escape route. Then let's put this old face on the line: If there is really no way to get the magic thorn, just trade Gao Yang's life for the sun and moon pot. I think that since the Shangqing sect considers itself a famous family, most of them will agree to the exchange. Who would have thought that, after all calculations, this boy was not a disciple of the Shangqing Sect. At that time, Madman Zhuo was so angry that he wanted to slap him to death. Later, Gao Yang gave a casual push to tell Madman Zhuo to calm down, thinking that this kid might be able to help him get back the magic thorn. Who said that he was so incompetent that he had no choice but to become a living doctor? He immediately took out a book from his bag and said: "Boy, this book is the manuscript of "Commentaries on the Classic of China". It is the best introductory book for Qi training. If you want to reach the state of 'making fire with Qi' like me, you must first understand it." Gao Yang, however, was not interested in the book at all and said, "I don't know how to read. You'd better read it to me." "You, you, I really don't know how your master taught you. You still have the nerve to say you are illiterate at your age. Even those barbarians in the mountains are much better than you. "Ah" Madman Zhuo didn't bother to get angry with him anymore. He spread out the book and wanted to read it to him, but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate. Instead of reading it to him word for word, it would be better to throw him into the school and let the teachers have a headache. Madman Zhuo said: "Now let me tell you the third condition. You must first learn to read and read. Only by learning this skill can you practice 'making fire with Qi', and only then can you be better than your master and help me get back the magic thorn." , Do you understand?" What he was thinking in his mind was naturally not the principle of "teaching people to fish is worse than teaching them to fish". He just felt that he was a dignified assassin and was really devaluing himself by teaching people how to read. . In order to be able to get rid of it once and for all and avoid being supported by the high Yang Qi, this is the best method. Unexpectedly, Gao Yang refused and said: "I'm sorry, I don't study. My master said that once people study, they will become bad and have more tricks. Your ability to grill fish, love to teach If you don¡¯t teach me, I¡¯ll be able to learn it myself in a few days.¡± Madman Zhuo was stunned and couldn¡¯t say a word anymore. After a while, when he saw Gao Yang jumping into the river again with a "plop" and enjoying himself in catching fish, Madman Zhuo couldn't help but feel sad, lowered his head and whispered, "The sky is green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called barbarians, On the water side"
