Chapter 34: I don't see Kong Ming
Jing Mountain, on the mountain road down the mountain, although he looks more than seventy years old, Sima Hui is still walking like flying.
When the monk reaches the Yin God Realm, although he can fly against the wind, or fly with a magic weapon. However, in the entire monastic world, there are very few monks who use flying to get on the road.
Because, whether it is flying against the wind or flying with the magic weapon of the envoy, not only does it need to consume mana, but it will also affect and interfere with the outside world to a greater or lesser extent. As far as the Heavenly Dao is concerned, this is a mistake, even the slightest bit, accumulating into a lot, will eventually accumulate into sins.
Once the sin is enough to receive the damnation, in the end, it will either be curtailed or the curse will be curtailed.
Therefore, it is not a matter of urgency, and few monks cast spells to fly.
On weekdays, the monks traveled in ox carts or horse-drawn carts. Or you can ride a donkey or a horse.
Of course, some sects have giant birds such as Dapeng, and they can also ride in case of emergency.
Sima Hui's side, the seven disciples, are also walking like flying.
Although the physical fitness of the monk is not as good as that of a warrior, it is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and it is necessary to walk like a fly when rushing.
The mountain road was not passable for horse-drawn carriages, and horses and donkeys could not be kept in the mountains for a long time, so the monks mostly walked up and down the mountain. Only when they reach the nearest town will they have a means of transportation.
Of course, at the foot of Jingshan Mountain, there is a place to rest, and you can choose to take a car or a mount.
On the mountain road, Sima Hui was thinking about his thoughts, silent, just hurrying.
Beside him, several disciples were smiling.
"Senior Brother Meng, you said that Senior Brother Kong Ming opened up the sea of knowledge, but is it true?" Cui Jun Cui Zhou asked Meng Gongwei with a smile.
Some time ago, after Meng Gongwei returned to his master's gate, he told the elders of the division that Zhuge Kongming had opened up the sea of knowledge. At first glance, not only the elders in the sect were surprised, but even their third-generation disciples were also skeptical.
No one can believe that the most basic method of refining qi can actually open up the sea of knowledge in a few years.
What a rebellious qualification!
Meng Gongwei smiled: "This is naturally true. This time down the mountain, let's just stop by to see Senior Brother Kong Ming; When the time comes, let him show one or two spells, and everyone will know whether Senior Brother Kong Ming has opened up the sea of knowledge. ”
Spells are the only criterion for testing whether a monk has opened up the sea of knowledge.
If you don't open up the sea of knowledge, you can't condense your mana, and naturally you can't cast spells. To be able to cast spells, you must have mana as the support, and opening up the sea of knowledge is a necessary prerequisite.
At this time, only one person interjected: "Since Senior Brother Kong Ming has opened up the Sea of Knowledge, he is a monk." There are too many fetters in the red dust, and if he is allowed to stumble in the red dust, wouldn't it be a waste of his talent and qualifications? ”
The monk pursues the path of immortality and detachment.
In the red dust, all kinds of causal fetters can hinder the progress of the monk's cultivation. Therefore, as long as the monk opens up the sea of knowledge, most people will retreat to the world and cultivate, and occasionally come out to play a circle of soy sauce, which is just a game of red dust.
Shi Tao answered with a wry smile: "It is said that with the talent and qualifications of Senior Brother Kong Ming, now he has opened up the sea of knowledge, and he is already an inner disciple, and it is not an exaggeration to take back the master to focus on training." ”
"It's a pity that Kong Ming's red dust fetters are too much."
"Even if he doesn't mention the task of the division, he still has to be sharpened in the red dust!"
"Master will take us down the mountain this time, and he will stop by to see Kong Ming and teach him the profound Taoism of his own sect. As for the future, it can only depend on Senior Brother Kong Ming's own creation. ”
"If he assists Master Ming to succeed, and then returns to the master to continue his cultivation, there may be a glimmer of hope."
The monks go out of the mountain to assist the princes, and their daily thoughts and energy are spent on assisting, where is there time to cultivate?
Even if the assistant master succeeds, it will take thirty or fifty years to say the least.
In this way, even if it is calculated according to thirty years, Zhuge Kongming at that time was nearly fifty years old, right?
Is the remaining time enough for him to cultivate to the Yin God Realm?
It must be known that few monks in the foundation building period have a lifespan of 100 years, and most of them are in their seventies and eighties.
Therefore, Shi Tao can only say that after Zhuge Liang retires, there is only a glimmer of hope when he returns to cultivation.
Of course, if Zhuge Kongming's assistant to Ming's main merit fails, it will naturally be all rest.
This point, even if Shi Tao doesn't say it, everyone understands it.
Then, Shi Tao said again: "We are all Kong Ming's classmates and friends, and this time I went to see him, and by the way, I also helped him." ”
"If you have any magic skills, teach him one or two hands; If you have any treasures, give him one or two. So that in the future, even if things are not good, Kong Ming can hold on for a while longer. ”
Shi Tao's suggestion aroused the approval of all the senior brothers: "It should be so! ”
This time, following Elder Shuijing down the mountain, although there is still a task, everyone has already been ready, and when they go to visit Zhuge Kongming on the way, they will give him all the "gifts", or magic techniques, or treasures that can be used.
Previously, Zhuge Kongming suddenly opened up the sea of knowledge, and before the attitude of the master was clear, even Meng Gongwei and Huang Chengyan could not teach Zhuge Liang Taoism or treasure in private. Now, the master's attitude is clear, and Zhuge Liang's master is also ready to teach him the advanced Dao method, and they, the same disciples, can no longer worry about the teacher's ban.
……
While the disciples were talking and laughing, the foot of the mountain was already in sight.
At the foot of Jing Mountain, there is a village, which is the property of a named disciple in the sect.
On weekdays, when someone from the division enters or leaves the mountain, they will settle here. Disciples who walk up the mountain will leave behind mounts such as donkeys and horses, or ox carts in the village; Disciples who go down the mountain will also choose mounts or ox carts here.
After all, it is also seventy or eighty miles from here to the nearest Xiangyang City.
Monks are also mortal in the flesh, and when they can have an ox cart or a mount, no one will be stupid enough not to use it.
When everyone entered the village, it was already sunset; A one-night stay in the village is inevitable.
After a night of silence, the next morning, after having breakfast at the house of the named disciple, Sima Hui explained to the disciples:
"Let's split up today."
"The catastrophe on the night before was too weird, and the master demanded that this matter must be thoroughly investigated."
"Lu Hong, Chen Ren, Ma Heng, Zhang Han, the four of you are running with the teacher to investigate this matter thoroughly. Meng Jian, Shi Tao, Cui Jun, the three of you are the most compatible with Kong Ming, so you will visit Kong Ming and teach him the profound Taoism of this sect. ”
"By the way, tell that disciple, because he himself is riddled with cause and effect, because the teacher did not teach him the advanced cultivation method before. Now that he has opened up the sea of knowledge, the advanced exercises of this sect are naturally left to him to practice. ”
"It's just that the cause and effect between him and the Han Dynasty is too deep, which determines that he must go out of the mountain to assist the princes surnamed Liu to fight for the dragon"
"It is not appropriate for a monk to go out of the mountain to assist the princes in fighting for the dragon; From now on, it will only be up to him to create himself! ”
Sima Hui's arrangement surprised Meng Gongwei and others.
This time, they went down the mountain to investigate the main cause of the thunderstorm the night before, but it was not contradictory to visit Zhuge Kongming by the way.
Elder Shui Jing is Zhuge Kongming's master, and the profound Taoism of the master should be taught to Zhuge Kongming by him personally. Moreover, this place is only a hundred miles away from Zhuge Liang's house in Longzhong, and it is only a day's journey.
Uncle Sima Hui, why didn't he want to see Zhuge Kongming?
However, since Uncle Sima Hui arranged it this way, Meng Gongwei and the others had only to obey orders.
Besides, if you turn your head a little and think about it, everyone will understand why Sima Hui doesn't want to see Zhuge Kongming.
This is like in later generations, dozens of students in a class, the students who were the least favored by all teachers, were actually admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. Let me ask, are the teachers of this class embarrassed to attend this student's college entrance banquet?
Meng Gongwei They didn't know such allusions in later generations, but they could understand Uncle Sima's mood at this time.
……
It's just that Sima Hui's mentality at this time is naturally not something that Meng Gongwei can understand.
There is a saying that one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father.
Sima Hui's mentality towards Zhuge Liang's disciple is contradictory!
As a master, who doesn't want their disciples to be successful?
However, because of some selfishness or reason, Sima Hui not only hoped that Zhuge Liang would be promising, but he also hoped that Zhuge Liang would not be too promising.
Among the teachers, except for the uncle who has the highest cultivation, he is the oldest Sima Hui.
The Yin God Realm monk only has a lifespan of three hundred, and he Sima Hui seems to be only in his seventies now, but he is already nearly two hundred and seventy years old, and his remaining lifespan is indeed not much. However, for him, the Yang God Realm was far away.
Many Yin God Realm cultivators, when they reached the age of two hundred and fifty or sixty, began to plan a way out.
After the death of the Yin God Realm cultivator, the Yin God entered the sect's Cave Heaven Blessed Land to transfer to cultivate ghosts and immortals, which was only the most secondary choice.
The best choice is naturally to "reincarnate" and start over.
It's just that the "reincarnation" of the Yin God Realm monks has a mystery in the womb, even if there are elders from the sect to take them and start over, it depends on the individual's chance, and it also depends on the will of heaven.
If you can wake up to your previous life, have the experience of your previous life, and the opportunities left by your previous life, it will be natural to cultivate to the Yin God Realm.
If you can't wake up to your past life, that's the real starting over.
The mystery in this womb is just that, at most, it is the opportunity left by the previous life, and it cannot be taken back for the time being.
But reincarnation is to directly take away the fetus in the womb of a pregnant woman, which has a clear goal and is easy for people to take advantage of. Unless it is someone who can be absolutely trusted, no one will tell anyone when the Yin God Realm monk is "reincarnated".
As a result, it is inevitable that people will take advantage of it, and many Yin God Realm monks will arrange some back-up hands when their longevity is approaching.
Sima Hui's selfishness is to arrange a back hand for reincarnation.
Especially after discovering Zhuge Liang's jade, and also discovering that Zhuge Liang still had a continuous cause and effect with the Han Dynasty, Sima Hui was even more determined in that deployment.
In this way, Zhuge Liang is not only a pawn of his master, but also a pawn of his Sima Hui.
As a master, if you don't teach your disciples well, you will be ashamed. Now, he wants to use his disciple Zhuge Liang as a chess piece, and if he is ashamed, he can't see Zhuge Kongming, and Sima Hui naturally doesn't want to see it.
