Chapter VII: The Laws of Nature
As the new batch of disciples of the Immortal Jade Sword Sect, most of them were almost unable to sleep with excitement when they learned that they were going to officially start their cultivation the next day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The first thing that awaits them will be a transition period that will be long or short.
It can also be directly understood as a period of labor, during which no matter who they are, they have to work in a designated place and listen to a master every day, so that they can get rid of all the ills of the world and at the same time exercise their body and mind.
After three months of labor, everything will be settled.
During this period, there were also more than a dozen people who slacked off because they couldn't bear this kind of labor, and a few people in Akari got together to work, but they were actually lazy together.
Chengxing no matter what others do, he must complete the tasks assigned by the master, because he can't think that the master will harm himself, so every day he works hard and leaves the sweat of hard work.
Although the daily work is either to carry wood up the mountain or down the mountain to carry water, sometimes I have to go a little farther away to fetch water, and then step by step to pick up the water tank I am responsible for.
Over the course of a few days, there seemed to be more people who were lazy, and some people began to get something for nothing.
After Chengxing came back from fetching water a few times, he found that the water in his water tank seemed to be less again, and then no matter how much he picked back, the water in the water tank would always be lost inexplicably, he knew what was going on, but he wouldn't bother with them, because he gradually understood in his heart that the reason why the master asked everyone to carry water and chop wood.
Chengxing is very smart, and his understanding is also very high, in the eyes of others, he is like a hard-working scalper, as long as the master gives an order, no matter how tired or heavy, he will not say a word, but work hard.
The people around him rarely appreciated him, most of them were disdainful of his behavior, and even sneered, and even laughed a few words, such a stupid base is over, you deserve your life, and then a few people continue to laugh a few times and continue to be lazy.
And he worked so hard regardless of hard work, for the invigilator master, it was indeed very gratifying for him, among so many disciples, only this young man named Chengxing seemed to understand the purpose of the master to let everyone work, and he couldn't help but praise it more and take a few more glances behind it.
Three months have finally passed, and after three months of labor, everyone is more or less different from before, at least they seem to be much stronger than when they first started.
On this day, everyone was gathered together, everyone's faces were full of anticipation, three months had finally passed, three months of coolie life were finally coming to an end, and soon everyone was going to embark on the path of cultivation together, and it was very exciting to think about it.
On this day, the invigilator stood in front of everyone with no expression on his face, and it was difficult to guess what was really going on in his heart.
And under such an expression, he also did something that made everyone, of course, very unexpected except for the stars.
I saw that the invigilator did not congratulate everyone as soon as he came up, nor did he chat with everyone, but directly came up and stretched out his hand and pointed to a few people in the crowd.
"You, you, you, you,...... And you, a few of you, from today onwards, don't stay in the Immortal Jade Sword Sect, there will be a disciple to escort you down the mountain in a while. ”
Immediately, everyone was stunned, and they didn't react for a while.
However, some of those people were unconvinced: "Why, we also passed the assessment before staying, you want to drive us away like this, isn't it too unreasonable, do you know who I am, do you know who my father is, my father is the secretary of the household department, you bully people like this, are you not afraid of our revenge?"
The other party is not very old, but his tone is aggressive, and he knows how to bring his own adults out to take advantage of the situation, if you really want to talk about it, the cultivation realm also needs to take advantage of the situation, but the person in front of him is a little embarrassed to say this.
It can be said that even when the emperor sees the monk, he still has to be polite and dare not offend, let alone a small household book at the bottom.
No one will think that the household secretary is not big, but no one thinks that the household department is very big, you are a secular official, and it is another thing to be able to control the monk, and it is stupid to use it to suppress the monk, it is a person from two worlds, and it is not related to each other at all.
Of course, the invigilator master will not be frightened, but he is not happy with the other party's aggressive energy, in his eyes, the little mortal also dares to threaten himself, if it is his own disciple, he must let him work as a coolie for a year, feed pigs for a year, eat sweet potatoes for a year, hmph, he still doesn't believe that he can't cure him.
It's a pity that the fate of these people today is already doomed, and there is no need to discuss it anymore.
"It's understandable that you don't accept it, but I will convince you, don't think I don't know what you've done in the past three months, others don't know, three months of labor itself is another trial, and during this time, not only do you not work well, but also steal the fruits of other people's labor, just by virtue of this, you are not qualified to cultivate, cultivation requires not only qualifications, but also diligence, you don't even know this, what kind of cultivation do you talk about, after all, you are just a layman, so I won't say much." ”
After hearing this, several people's faces had changed, after all, they were at fault first, and they only regretted it in their hearts.
After sending a few people away, the invigilator resumed his previous expression and said slowly: " This time has really worked hard for you, but congratulations first, you are the real winners, okay, don't talk nonsense, today you have completed the proof of yourself, next, you will officially enter the path of cultivation and become a disciple of my Immortal Jade Sword Sect, in fact, there is a difference, the qualifications are excellent, you will have the opportunity to become a personal disciple of the master, and a little worse can also follow a good master, and among you, the worst qualifications will not be bad, so, don't worry about where you will go, listen to me, no matter where you go, where is your way, the road is under your feet, you need to walk by yourself, and after you are completely enlightenedYour path will be infinitely bright. ”
These few words seem to be a farewell, a piece of advice, and a teaching, in short, these disciples today have all taken the words of this master firmly to heart.
Then the invigilator began to assign the whereabouts of the people, and there were indeed two of them with excellent qualifications, who would be taken by a certain guru and taught by a certain teacher, and the people were not only envious, but also looking forward to where they would go.
Next, some people went to the Sword Pavilion, some people went to the Library Pavilion, and some people were taken away directly, of course, most people will have their own special master, although the status is not as high as the personal disciples, but if it is a great opportunity in the future, the creation is not small.
When he arrived at Chengxing, the invigilator had planned to follow the reading, but at this time, the head of the sect sent someone over to say a few words in his ear, he frowned, looked at Chengxing and nodded, and said, "Chengxing, you will go to the Alchemy Pavilion in the future!"
Alchemy Pavilion, as the name suggests, is the place where the elixir is refined, the Sword Pavilion is the place responsible for casting the magic sword, and the library cabinet contains various classics of the Immortal Jade Sword Sect, and the internal division of labor must also be clear.
Monks' cultivation, in addition to their own qualifications, the opportunity to create, another indispensable is the elixir, often the effect of the elixir is also thousands of changes, there are those that can assist in promotion, there are those that can heal injuries, and there are also those that prolong life, but for monks, the effect of prolonging life is not large, not that it is not small, but it is not needed.
For going to the Alchemy Pavilion by himself, Chengxing was not mentally prepared at all, and like everyone else, he wanted to worship a master, and then follow the master to learn spells, and expand his own path step by step, until he finally asked to become an immortal.
To be honest, he was still a little resistant in his heart, but since the master had an order, he had no choice but to obey it.
As an indispensable auxiliary role for the cultivation of monks, the alchemy master is often the most respected and complimented within a sect.
Naturally, this is also the case with a big faction like the Immortal Jade Sword Sect, the Alchemy Pavilion is very large, but there is only one alchemy master here.
Chengxing also found out when he arrived here that the Alchemy Pavilion of Nuoda was the size of Dongting Lake, but there was only one person and a yellow dog in it, and that person would also become his master in the future.
"Ah, you are my disciple, come, this is your Senior Brother Huang. The stocky old man suddenly said this, and pointed to the yellow dog beside him.
Chengxing's face twitched, he didn't expect that the person in front of him who was about to become his master would be so out of tune, and even more out of tune, he only knew about it later.
"Haha, that kid from Huazhen, I haven't sent anyone to me for hundreds of years, and today I finally got the hang of it, you're good, but you're a little thin, and then let Ah Huang cook you a delicious meal, which can be regarded as a welcome to you." The old man wanted to hold Chengxing's shoulders, but he was too short, so he had to lead Chengxing inside.
Chengxing hasn't come back to his senses yet, what the hell is the situation, the old man is not young, but it is indeed a bit rude to call the head of a faction a brat, this is not the main thing, what makes Chengxing uneasy is the sentence, go back and ask Ah Huang to cook you a delicious meal. The dog can also cook???
In fact, the dog can really cook, and then Chengxing also understood that although this dog has not cultivated into a human form and cannot speak, it has spirituality, not only can do housework, cook and laundry, but also can alchemy!
It turned out that the old man was very lazy, so he found such a dog, which was regarded as half a disciple or half an old mother, and the elixirs that the fairy jade sword usually sent to the disciples were all said to be refined by this dog!
Chengxing heard that he almost didn't stand firm at first, is there anything more shocking than what is in front of him?
The old man had a name, too, but he preferred to be called an old man, which sounded kind.
In addition to teaching Chengxing the basic alchemy techniques and fairy grass identification, he often takes the yellow dog out for a stroll, yes, it is to hang out, the alchemy pavilion of Nuoda is also full of flowers and plants, fairy wind and fairy scenery, it is really a good place to walk and wander. One person and one dog, but also free.
I can often hear the old man's voice, which is neither male nor female: "Dog, follow the master!"
The yellow dog also snorted in tacit understanding, and then jumped on the cloud at the old man's feet, and walked away with a snort.
Every time at this time, Chengxing's face will twitch for a while, this day he was reviewing the knowledge of fairy grass in the room, and now half a month has passed, except for the knowledge of fairy grass taught by the old man, the rest he is unwilling to touch, alchemy is not his goal, nor is it his means, during this period, he has a vague idea in his heart, and in the future, let's see what fairy law the old man can teach himself.
That night, he had a dream, and the dream was still a hill full of fairy grass, and because he was thinking about it every day, he was also studying the fairy grass in his dream. It was an ordinary dream, but this dream was not ordinary.
I don't know when, a thin thunder suddenly fell from the sky, directly blowing up the fairy grass in front of Chengxing's eyes without a trace, and a blackened pit the size of a basin appeared on the ground.
Chengxing's scalp immediately went numb, but he didn't have time to think clearly, and then the second fine thunder had already fallen, and he intuitively felt that danger was coming, so he immediately rolled to the left, and as expected, the same black pit appeared in the place where he was originally staying.
Hey, oh my god, Chengxing didn't know why he suffered such torture for no reason, and they all said that the sky thundered, but wasn't that a punishment for the wicked, when did he also fall into the field where the sky thundered?
Don't think about it at the moment, he can only run and run and run as hard as he can, and that day Lei seems to have deliberately let him run away, every time he just misses, but that's what makes it scary, what if he hits?
When he was out of breath when he ran, Chengxing finally couldn't run, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the sky, and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong......"
There seemed to be a feeling in the dark, and the thunder finally dispersed after a few thunder knocks that day.
Chengxing was frightened and gasped for breath, thinking that this was the end of the matter, but at this moment, a black stone was suddenly smashed down!
"Don't split, don't split......" Chengxing, who was asleep, woke up suddenly, settled down, and realized that he had a dream.
Suddenly he felt thirsty, and he was about to get out of bed to pour a glass of water, when a black stone rolled out of his bosom.
Chengxing was stunned! Almost speechless, wasn't that a dream?
Chengxing swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, carefully picked up the stone, only to find that the lines on it seemed to form a few words:
"Sincerely worship the heavens, and give the laws of nature, from now on, you will be the messenger of heaven, or when you step into the void, the heavens can meet you. ”
Next, the handwriting gradually blurred, and then a so-called law of nature appeared:
"At the beginning of the void, the beginning of chaos, all things are one, and they are not one; perfection does not exist, and the law of the operation of all things in heaven and earth is actually to go to one!"
Subsequently, in Chengxing's mind, there were eternal truths such as the moon being cloudy and sunny, no one is perfect, and gold is not enough!
Little did he know that fate had just begun at this time!
