While waiting, Zhang Qingshu introduced several disciples of the Upper Court to her, both male and female, all under the age of twenty.

Lingyu remembered that Ying Xiude's miscellaneous books had said that entering the Visualization Realm before the age of fifteen was one of the signs of an elite disciple of the Great Dao Realm, because in this way it was possible to enter the fifth layer of Qi Refining at the age of twenty. Of course, there are exceptions, but not many.

The disciples of the upper courtyard introduced to her by Zhang Qingshu were all under twenty, which showed that they were all candidates for elite disciples, and combined with her own situation, it seemed that she was intentionally drawn into a small group.

Lingyu did not object to this, Han Funing's matter made her frightened, and entering a small group and integrating into the Xuanyuan Temple as much as possible would only be good for her.

The time passed quickly, and the sermon began.

A Taoist with a grim expression in his thirties walked through the disciples, sat on the top futon, picked up the wooden mallet on the table, and tapped the jade chime placed next to him.

The melodious and crisp voice sounded, and the huge Jade Pole Palace was so quiet that even a needle could be heard, and everyone closed their mouths, sat or stood up in an orderly manner, and looked at the Taoist above.

"Disciples, what I want to talk about today is the importance of familiarizing yourself with the Taoist scriptures." This person went straight to the point from the beginning, and even saved himself from introducing himself.

Lingyu guessed that there were not many disciples like her who had become a monk halfway, and this person must be familiar to others. Sure enough, Zhang Qingshu whispered, "This is Master Jiang Fuheng, who is currently an eighth-level Qi refining cultivator. ”

The eighth layer of qi refining is considered good among mages. In the Xuanyuan View, in addition to the Guan Master, two prison courtyards, and three heads of the ninth layer of Qi refining, there are also six mages, including three in the Chongxu Palace, two in the Jade Void Palace, and one in the Taixu Palace. Hua Tongxu and Han Funing are both among them.

Lingyu is very curious about Chongxu Palace, which only admires its name and does not see its people, it is rumored that Chongxu Palace is a cultivator, and all the mages have a more eccentric temperament than the other, you don't hear it, there is such a sentence in the Xuanyuan Temple: Taixu Palace is a master, Yuxu Palace is an immortal, and Chongxu Palace is not a person.

This sentence is not intended to divide the three houses into one another, but to briefly explain the characteristics of the three houses. For example, the love of the Taixu Palace, the mystery of the Jade Void Palace, and the Chongxu Palace are full of madmen.

Now the mage of the three palaces, Lingyu has seen the two palaces, but he can't see anything. Tan Tong is really impulsive, Huatong is modest and steady, Han Funing is secretly scheming, and this Jiang Fuheng seems to be relatively cold. Come to think of it, the rumors are still a bit exaggerated.

"As we all know, there are two ways to become a monk. One of them is that if you practice the primary exercises, you can absorb the aura and successfully enter the Tao if you are lucky enough to cultivate the true yuan over time. The second is that if you are familiar with the Taoist scriptures, your mind is pure, and when you enter the realm of visualization, you can draw qi into your body and become a monk. The former is the cultivation method of some small Taoist temples and immortal cultivation families, who either rely on inheritance or because of ancestral chances, they have obtained cultivation exercises, and they can easily cultivate monks. The latter is the Great Inheritance and the cultivation method of the Wild Daoist. ”

Although Jiang Fuheng on the stage looked indifferent, he was meticulous when he spoke: "...... Did the disciples find it strange? In fact, if you talk about the probability of becoming a monk, there is no doubt that the former will win, and the possibility of cultivating the true element of the exercises is higher. The latter, the so-called realm of visualization, cannot be seen or touched, and there is no trace to follow at all, and some people cannot enter the realm of visualization after cultivating all their lives. Those wild Taoist priests, because they can't get the inheritance, can only enter the Tao with this, what about the top three Taoist views? We have the best cultivation techniques, so why do we have to train disciples like this? ”

Jiang Fuheng paused, and waited for the audience to stop talking for a while before continuing: "This is what I want to talk about today, the importance of familiarizing yourself with the Taoist scriptures. ”

"On the surface, it seems that there are more monks cultivated by cultivating the exercises, but when you look at it carefully, monks who are familiar with the Taoist scriptures and enter the Tao can go further. This is the reason why the Three Great Paths Temple cultivates disciples in this way: we do not seek quantity, but quality. ”

"What do you disciples think, what is cultivation?" Without waiting for everyone to answer, Jiang Fuheng continued, "Cultivation is to let yourself enter a state of mystery and mystery, be in harmony with the aura, blend with heaven and earth, breathe with the mountains and rivers, slowly absorb the aura, refine **, and be reborn." It is easier to reach this state by entering the path by visualizing than by practicing the exercises, and over time, more and more ...... will accumulate."

Lingyu was completely intoxicated, for fear of missing a word. Xuan Chenzi had never taught her this, which was the foundation of cultivation that she lacked the most.

Two hours passed in a flash, Jiang Fuheng finished speaking, and knocked on the jade chime: "Today's sermon is over, all the disciples go by themselves." With that, he took care of himself and left.

Immediately after the preacher left, the hall became lively, with some discussing the content of the sermon just now, some telling jokes, and some talking.

Lingyu was still thinking about Jiang Fuheng's words, and suddenly her sleeve was pulled: "Senior Sister Cheng." ”

She came back to her senses and saw Zhang Qingshu smile and groaned, "Let's go, go see your teaching master." ”

"Huh?"

Seeing Lingyu's stunned face, Zhang Qingshu smiled: "In addition to preaching every ten days, the disciples of the upper courtyard also have their own teaching masters. In addition, the disciples who have just started have to go to the academy once a day, and the disciples of the upper courtyard do not need to go, but the uncle said that the junior sister still knows nothing about cultivation, so she should also go along, at least the runes must be learned, otherwise how to write the disciple's notes? ”

Lingyu now knows that the disciple's notebook is something that every disciple in the upper courtyard has, which is used to record his cultivation experience and what he has seen and heard, once something happens, such as Xuan Chenzi, he can find clues from the disciple's notebook, and he can also retain most of what he has learned. However, the disciple's notes are not written for mortals, and they are not ordinary words, but runes, which are unique to the cultivation realm, and are said to have been circulated since ancient times, and many classics are used in this kind of script. It can be said that learning runes is a compulsory course for monks, and one of the three great Taoist views such as the Xuanyuan Temple, even before entering the Tao, began to learn runes.

"Senior Brother Qingshu, when should I go to the academy? Where's the Academy? ”

"There is no hurry, on the day of the sermon, the school is closed. On the day of the sermon, you just have to come and listen to the sermon, and when you are done, go to see the teacher. It's okay to go to school again, with the qualifications of the junior sister, it should be about the same for more than half a year. Zhang Qingshu said as he took Lingyu out of the main hall and turned to the side hall on the right.

On the side of the door of the side hall, there were two female disciples, Zhang Qingshu sent her away, bowed to these two people, and said with a smile: "The two senior sisters are polite." This is a new junior sister, surnamed Cheng Dao Lingyu, who came to see the master for the first time, and bothered the two senior sisters to help. ”

As soon as he saw Zhang Qingshu, one of them smiled: "Yo, isn't this junior brother Xiao Zhang, he still speaks so politely." What is this, it is our business. ”

The other person looked at Lingyu, both surprised and suspicious: "Senior Brother Zhang, you are not mistaken, right?" How old is this kid? ”

"Of course, there is no mistake." Zhang Qingshu raised his chin to Lingyu, "Senior Sister Cheng, take out your disciple token, the two senior sisters should have your name here." ”

Lingyu nodded, took the disciple token and presented it, and said: "The two senior sisters have worked, I am young and ignorant, and I will need the two senior sisters to take care of me in the future." ”

Everyone likes to listen to good words, and women are even more so, seeing that she is so polite, the female disciple also softened her face, took her disciple token, checked it on the file for a while, and nodded: "That's right, Senior Sister Cheng, please come in." ”

After the matter was done, Zhang Qingshu arched his hand: "Two senior sisters, the younger brother will leave first, and I will invite the senior sister to tea another day!" ”

"Senior Brother Zhang, this is what you said, you can't deny it next time!" The two female disciples grinned, laughed with Zhang Qingshu for a few words, and let him go back.

Lingyu looked at this scene and thought to herself, this senior brother Zhang Qingshu is not very old, but she can be a person, she has to study hard. She is a little clever, but before the age of nine in the Chengfu place that eats people and does not spit out bones, she only cares about messing around, and then she wanders in the market for half a year, and then follows her master to nest in the poor countryside, this kind of communication between fellow brothers has never been seen.

Just as she was thinking about it, the female disciple who liked to laugh raised her voice and called her: "Senior Sister Cheng, please come with me." ”

Lingyu hurriedly followed: "Yes, senior sister." ”

Yuji Palace is not as good as Xuanming Palace, the lobby is huge, but the side hall is small, only a few steps, and I entered.

The inside is very empty, and there is a statue of Zhenjun on the top, and there is an incense burner for the table, and a high chair next to it, and there is no more. On the chair was sitting a Taoist aunt with a lotus crown robe, who looked like she was in her twenties, with a handsome appearance and a bit of fairy spirit.

In front of Dao Gu, there were more than a dozen female disciples around her, asking questions in a very orderly manner.

"Uncle Liu." The female disciple bowed, "This is Senior Sister Cheng Lingyu, the first time she has come to listen to the sermon." ”

Hearing her voice, Dao Gu and many female disciples all turned their heads and looked at Lingyu.

Lingyu hurriedly took a deep look: "I've seen the mage, I've seen all the senior sisters." Han Funing said that she could call her uncle, but no one else said it, and I don't know if people are afraid of it, so it's always right to be polite first.

Dao Gu nodded slightly: "I know, you wait first." He turned around and answered the previous female disciple's question carefully.

"Yes." Lingyu waited at the back in an orderly manner, looking at the nose and nose and heart.

I waited for most of the hour. After answering everyone's questions, Dao Gu sent them all away, and only the two of them were left in the hall, quiet and silent, without any sound at all.

Dao Gu breathed a sigh of relief, drank tea for a while, and then looked up at her: "Cheng Lingyu? ”

Lingyu took a step forward: "The disciple is here." ”

"My name is Liu Weiyi, and if there is no accident now, this year, I will be your teaching master."

Wei Zi generation, Chong Void Palace? This thought flashed through Lingyu's mind, and his face was not half invisible: "There is Master Lao Weiyi." ”

Liu Weiyi waved his hand: "You are a disciple of Tongxuan, call me uncle." ”

This sentence made Lingyu relax a lot, it seems that the people of Chongxu Palace are not so unkind, why do they say that Chongxu Palace is not human?

"Thank you, Uncle Liu."

Liu Weiyi nodded: "I have read your dossier, Senior Brother Zheng is prescient, and it is much easier to teach from scratch than halfway." ”

Lingyu silently ...... in her heart secretly thought, it is true that the people of Chongxu Palace do not understand general affairs, what does it mean that "Senior Brother Zheng is prescient"? Will the foresight die himself? This has to be changed to a small-minded person, and it's strange not to hold grudges.

Just thinking about it, I heard Liu Weiyi say: "Come and I'll take a look and see what you are suitable for." ”
