Chapter 708: Calming the Monkey Under the Five Elements Mountain
"When did I ever say I wanted Margaret to come to me?"
Mo Cheng also rolled his eyes. He felt that he could no longer understand what Lilia was saying. As expected, after taking the Starry Sky course, it was only a matter of time before he became a Riddler.
He opened the door and motioned Lilia to come in and talk, "Tell me, what happened that you can't solve?"
"It's really sad that Big Brother said that." He still said sadly but didn't show any sadness. "Can't I come to warn you just because Big Brother has been staying in the room these days and I'm worried that you might do something shameful?"
As she spoke, Lilia looked around very obviously, "Could it be that there is a third person here? Lilia interrupted your sweet date, big brother... Ouch!"
Hearing Lilia's words getting more and more outrageous, Mo Cheng had no intention of continuing to listen. He sent out a forceful shot from his finger and hit Lilia's forehead accurately.
Although Lilia saw it clearly, she also used the mental martial art Mirror to try to remove this force at the same time, but she found at the moment of contact that the force was so condensed that there was no flaw for her to remove it.
Then, Lilia was hit hard on the forehead.
"If you have so much free time, why don't you help me make a..."
"It seems like there's something wrong with my heart martial arts."
Before Mo Cheng finished speaking, Lilia immediately interrupted him and told him her own problem: "Recently, when I kill people, my strength increases significantly, and the increase is a bit too fast."
Lilia knew what kind of person her guardian was. If she didn't get down to business, this guy might really assign her a task to eliminate all resistance forces in the Sialanna Imperial City.
These include but are not limited to: kings, queens, generals, etc. There are at least a dozen names on the list, and all of them are powerful and influential.
"And from the images I found , he seems to be alive."
When Mo Cheng heard that Lilia's power increased with killing, he was not too surprised, or perhaps he had already expected this.
Back when she was at the Winterhold Magic Academy, Lilia showed a talent similar to that of the scumbag Alai. Combined with her bloodline appearing in the [Original Prayer], it doesn't seem so strange that she has characteristics similar to the Son of Slaughter.
But when Lilia talked about the "Great Killer Monk" that was revealed by her carefully crafted martial arts mirror, Mo Cheng's originally nonchalant expression finally began to become serious.
"When did it happen?"
"Maybe it was a long time ago, but the actual manifestation that made me feel it was when I left the main force to deal with the Siyalana soldiers who were on sabotage missions behind enemy lines."
Lilia had had this feeling earlier, but because she was in the Winterhold Magic Academy and did not need to fight much, she thought it was an illusion.
"As long as it involves killing, can that image react to anything?"
"That's right." Lilia nodded. "When I was hiding from those assassins in the wild, I killed some wild creatures, which also caused the image to react."
After hearing Lilia's words, Mo Cheng left with only one sentence, "Wait for me here."
Soon, Mo Cheng came back with a fish and a chicken, and no one knew where he got them from.
Mo Cheng put his index and middle fingers together and placed them on Lilia's head. "Deal with the fish and chicken, and let me see the reaction you said."
Lilia didn't say much. Two blue spots of light popped out and instantly froze the fish and chicken.
Mo Cheng closed his eyes, and his body and mind entered the state of Zen, where there was no inside or outside, no yin or yang, no self and no living beings.
Her consciousness entered deep into Lilia's soul. Under her feet was the ground of unknown depth, reflecting Mo Cheng's appearance.
The ground beneath your feet is the embodiment of Lillia's Heart Martial Skill: Mirror.
Walking on this mirror land, ripples appear under your feet with every step you take. The land looks solid, but it is like lake water.
The walking time was not long, and with Mo Cheng's focused search, he soon found his target.
A monk wearing tight clothes, with a blood-red spot on his forehead, sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.
However, the place where he was sitting was constantly generating ripples and white smoke was rising, as if it was a pool of boiling water that could not calm down.
"The lake of my heart ripples, and the heavy rain is like waves."
Spouting words that no one on the continent of Kovare could understand , Mo Cheng tilted his head and looked at his former self, shaking his head, "You are still a child, unable to control your mind. Forget it, I'll help you."
As he spoke, Mo Cheng's body expanded infinitely, and he sat on the lotus platform with golden light blooming. He stretched out his right palm and pressed towards the killer monk.
The palm of the hand turned into the Five Finger Mountain, which firmly suppressed the killer monk into the mountain. At the same time, the palm of the hand that turned into the mountain emitted thousands of feet of golden light, which condensed into a [卍] character seal.
…
When I opened my eyes, I saw Lilia's worried expression, "What's going on?"
At that moment, Mo Cheng suddenly wanted to make a regretful expression, and then tell Lilia to eat and drink well, but after thinking that it was a bit unfair to play such a prank, he let it go.
"There's nothing wrong. My strength increased too quickly, and I couldn't control my mind and wanted to jump out."
“Am I a monkey?”
Naturally, Lilia had heard of the story of Journey to the West, or she was the only listener on the Kovale Road who had heard of Mo Cheng's strange stories. In addition, Mo Cheng occasionally taught her mental martial arts based on Journey to the West, so Lilia was not unfamiliar with the term "unruly mind".
Although it is not unfamiliar, if you want to fully understand the content of Journey to the West...
Even Mo Cheng, who is in the local cultural circle, doesn't dare to say that he fully interprets and understands that thing.
"If you want, I can hit you three times with something right now, and then ask you to wait at the door at three o'clock in the morning."
If Lilia really waited like that, Mo Cheng guaranteed that he would sleep until noon the next day, leaving her waiting foolishly at the door.
"I helped you suppress your ape mind, but it's only a temporary solution. You should improve your spiritual cultivation."
Forcibly suppressing it with the Five Elements Mountain is definitely not a cure. All Mo Cheng can do is to help Lilia suppress it before the Great Killer Monk’s power is not enough to interfere with her.
Or it’s not quite right to say it’s suppression. The Five Elements Mountain is more of a restriction measure than a seal.
"I'll teach you a sword technique later. It's for training your mind. Start practicing well from today."
"What sword technique?"
"Thousand Rivers Reflecting the Moon Sword." Mo Cheng casually took out two straight wooden sticks and gestured, "The swordsmanship of Zhongyang Continent, which is a combination of Buddhism and Taoism, is very useful."
