Chapter 191. Miscellaneous
Can you imagine how shocking it is for an old man with gray hair, as respectful as a schoolboy, to kneel in front of a young man? Even though Li Rui had already experienced an apprenticeship in Tangshan, at this time he still reflexively dodged to the side, avoiding Cheng Lixue's bowing.
At this time, Song Mingqing, Song Haicheng and Zhang Haoran were already stunned, Song Mingqing was better, he saw the magical side of Tangshan when he was in the study, but those young people didn't know the specific situation.
"Master!" Cheng Lixue raised her head and looked at Li Rui and shouted very respectfully.
This shout made Li Rui shudder, and he even suddenly had in his mind the scene of Sun Wukong kneeling down in front of Tang Seng and shouting master after he jumped out from the Five Elements Mountain.
"President Cheng, when you shout, I have goosebumps all over my body!" Li Rui said with a wry smile.
"Master, I know that what I am doing now is very reckless. But I know that this is the most important opportunity in my life, and it is also a unique opportunity, if I can't get the master's approval, the rest of my life will only be spent in eating and waiting to die, so I have to fight anyway. Cheng Lixue said resolutely.
"President Cheng, there are no outsiders here, I can tell you the truth, as long as you are serious, you can learn medical skills, but Taoism is not something that anyone can learn, and I will explain to you that what you think is Taoism and Taoism is called cultivation in our eyes, and we call ourselves cultivators. The ultimate goal is to ascend into the immortal realm. Cultivation is really about qualifications, I accepted Tangshan as a disciple, mainly because Tangshan had a good opportunity and had the qualifications to cultivate the truth, but you ......! In the end, Li Rui shook his head very regretfully.
"Master......!" Li Rui's words suddenly made Cheng Lixue's expression darken, and even the whole person seemed to have lost his spiritual pillar and wilted.
If Li Rui just refused, Cheng Lixue believed that he would definitely fight for it with his perseverance and actions, but Li Rui said that he did not have that qualification.
He didn't know what this qualification was, but he also knew that not everyone could have this qualification, although there were three thousand avenues, how many people could really cultivate the true Tao?
Qualification should be the foundation of learning the Tao, and he has also heard about the situation in Tangshan, but the epiphany is even more mysterious than the Zhou Yi he studied. This is also tantamount to fundamentally cutting off Cheng Lixue's path, how can this not make him discouraged.
"Master, Lao Cheng's research on Zhou Yi is also very deep, and I am not as good as him in some places!" The relationship between Tangshan and Cheng Lixue is still very good, otherwise Tangshan would not have brought him to Li Rui, so he still wanted to make some efforts.
"Tang Shan, you are also a person in the middle stage of Qi refining now, you should also have some understanding of cultivation, not everyone is suitable for cultivation, rather than letting President Cheng indulge in this kind of cultivation with no future, it is better to let him completely break this thought!" Li Rui said very directly.
"Alas, I just feel a little regretful, our Maoshan Villa was founded, when there was a shortage of people, Lao Cheng was the president of our Lu Provincial Martial Arts Association, Lao Cheng's family opened a martial arts hall, and there were as many as thirty-six martial arts halls in the province, Lao Cheng's apprentices were also very many, there were more than 100 people, Lao Cheng as the head of the Cheng family, if we can join our Maoshan Annex, then in terms of manpower, we will get a great supplement!" Tang San spoke his mind.
"What you said is indeed very tempting, if the Cheng family can join, it will indeed be very beneficial to the development of our Maoshan Courtyard, but Lao Cheng's physique is really not suitable for cultivating the Shangqing Treasure Decision" Li Rui said with a frown.
"Master, you didn't say that the avenue is three thousand, and the different paths lead to the same end. If you can't practice the "Shangqing Treasure Decision", is there any other practice that can be practiced? Tang San asked tentatively.
"You really reminded me when you said that, you wait, let me think about it!" Li Rui immediately closed his eyes, others thought that Li Rui was closing his eyes and contemplating, but in fact, he was rummaging through the inheritance hidden in his mind.
Tao Hongjing's inheritance to Li Rui is divided into two parts, one part is the inheritance of Maoshan Sect, which is the main body of the entire inheritance, the largest number, and it is also the most important to Li Rui. In addition, there is a small part of the inheritance, which is some miscellaneous learning of Tao Hongjing back then.
In history, Tao Hongjing's life spanned the Song, Qi, and Liang dynasties, and experienced incomparably complex, in medicine, alchemy, astronomical calendars, ground, military science, sword casting, scriptures, Taoist rituals, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, yin and yang five elements, and so on, and made certain contributions, and also compiled a large number of books.
And these miscellaneous studies were not too valued by Li Rui at the beginning, so he didn't pay too much attention to them, at this time, after being reminded by Tangshan, Li Rui suddenly thought that in the era when Tao Hongjing lived, cultivators would have some self-defense skills. Otherwise, they wander in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is difficult to move an inch without self-defense.
The communication between Li Rui and Tang Shan was very small, but Li Xue was very clear that at this time, it should be an old friend who was saying good things for himself, and when Li Rui closed his eyes and pondered, he was already about to despair, and a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in his heart.
"Sure enough!" Although Tao Hongjing taught Li Rui a lot of miscellaneous knowledge, the content of these miscellaneous studies was much simpler than the inheritance of the Maoshan Sect, so he was quickly browsed by Li Rui, and at the same time he also found what he was looking for.
Li Rui opened his eyes suddenly, and while his face showed surprise at the same time, Tang Shan and Cheng Lixue couldn't help but get nervous.
"Master, did you think of something?" Tang San hurriedly asked with concern.
"Hmmm! Something did come to mind! I just don't know if President Cheng is willing to learn! Li Rui's voice was not lowered this time, and everyone heard it.
"As long as the master is willing to take me as an apprentice and teach me anything, I am willing to learn!" At this time, Cheng Lixue suddenly felt as if he was on a roller coaster, and he also believed that what Li Rui took out was definitely not bad.
Besides, his heart towards the Tao is still very resolute, Li Rui is now that kind of tall in his eyes, so he thinks that even if he can't learn anything, as long as he can follow Li Rui's side, he will be content.
"I still have some side door exercises in my Maoshan Courtyard, among which there is a martial arts cultivation method, I thought about it for a while, it is still more suitable for you, after all, you are also a person who practices martial arts now." Li Rui is not one of those liars who fool others, so he directly made things clear, and as for Cheng Lixue, if he still insists on apprenticeship, then he will no longer object.
"Thank you, master!" Cheng Lixue didn't expect such an unexpected surprise, and she almost cried with joy.
"In that case, then you can come with me. Tang Lie, Haoran, Wang Tie, Li Zheng, Jiaojiao, Zhao Xuan, you can also come over. Li Rui didn't hesitate any longer, turned around and walked towards the study. R1152
