Quiet!

The entire Taoist temple hall was unusually quiet in an instant, and even Xu Ning could clearly hear the breathing of everyone present. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Everyone, including Patriarch Bodhi, stared at Xu Ning, and there was a hint of shock hidden in the depths of Patriarch Bodhi's eyes.

After a dozen breaths, everyone slowly came back to their senses.

"Son, did you realize this yourself? Or where did you hear that? Patriarch Bodhi stared at Xu Ning and said.

Xu Ning was panicked by Bodhi's eyes, but Xu Ning still looked at Patriarch Bodhi and said, "This is what the disciple realized when he traveled to the world. ”

It is absolutely impossible for Xu Ning to say that this is his hearsay, otherwise, looking at the appearance of Patriarch Bodhi, he will definitely have to chase after him.

Patriarch Bodhi squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Xu Ning, he couldn't judge the truth of Xu Ning's words.

"That's it, seeing that your heart is so persistent, you should be a registered disciple!" Patriarch Bodhi exhaled softly, and after looking at Xu Ning, he left the hall.

The figure of the Bodhi Patriarch disappeared into the entire hall in an instant, and the Bodhi Patriarch who had disappeared without a trace was nowhere to be found.

Xu Ning kowtowed happily and thanked him: "Disciple, thank you Patriarch, thank you Patriarch." ”

The people present were sincerely happy for Xu Ning when they saw this ending, and then everyone bent down towards the high platform of the main hall and left here one after another.

Soon, only Xu Ning was left in the entire hall.

"I succeeded, I am a disciple of Patriarch Bodhi." Xu Ning was still immersed in joy at this time, because in this way, Xu Ning was one step closer to the ethereal Nuwa.

In the following days, Patriarch Bodhi arranged for Xu Ning to do something.

Every morning, Xu Ning would take a broom to sweep the leaves from the gate to the main hall. In the afternoon, Xu Ning was going to clean up the fallen leaves in the backyard of the entire Taoist temple.

It wasn't until the night that Xu Ning was able to learn various Taoisms under Bodhi's arrangement.

However, all the Dao methods that Bodhi arranged for Xu Ning to learn were those ordinary state of mind cultivation, and there was no Dao method that could learn mana.

"Am I not doing well enough? Why does the patriarch only let me learn these useless things every day? At night, Xu Ning looked up at the countless stars in the sky and muttered to himself.

"Maybe the patriarch is testing my patience, I must persevere, I think it won't be long before the patriarch will teach me the true skills." Xu Ning comforted himself silently in his heart.

Xu Ning cleaned up the fallen leaves in the Taoist temple every day, and discussed all kinds of strange things with Lin Xue'er.

"Idiot, isn't the outside world fun?" Lin Xue'er looked at Xu Ning with a look of curiosity on her face.

"Nerd, how did you get from the mortal world! Is there such a beautiful star in the outside world? ”

"Idiot, why does the ancestor ask you to sweep all kinds of fallen leaves with your hands? Didn't those things in the past just use a few spells to solve them? ”

………

Time always passes quickly, and most of the time passes in a hurry.

Xu Ning came to this Taoist temple and became a registered disciple of the Bodhi Patriarch for nearly a year.

"Is he just missing a sweeper? Why don't you teach me any spells? Xu Ning's face was full of doubts and anxiety, in addition to cleaning all kinds of fallen leaves every day, he read those books that were useless to him.

"No, if it goes on like this, I don't know when and when I will be able to cultivate advanced mana, I don't know when I will be able to meet Nuwa Niangniang, let alone Qingxue......"

Xu Ning's joy at coming to the Taoist Temple from the beginning turned into infinite anxiety, and he finally made up his mind: "Go to the patriarch, only in this way can I have a glimmer of hope, otherwise I will only waste my time staying here like this." ”

The next day, Xu Ning didn't pick up the broom placed in the corner, but walked straight towards the place where Patriarch Bodhi was.

After Xu Ning walked straight to the outside of the cave where the Bodhi Patriarch was meditating and practicing, he took a deep breath and shouted towards the cave **: "Disciple Jun Luoji has something to ask to see the patriarch." ”

Because Xu Ning is currently only a registered disciple, according to the rules of Taoism, he can only call Bodhi the ancestor, so Xu Ning did not call Bodhi the master.

After a long time, a soft voice came from inside the cave: "Falling marks, come in!" ”

Xu Ning walked towards the cave ** step by step with heavy steps.

"The disciple has seen the ancestor." Xu Ning saw the Bodhi Patriarch sitting on a boulder in the cave, and Xu Ning's heart beat involuntarily.

"Traces, just say something!" Patriarch Bodhi's eyes did not open, and he said softly towards Xu Ning.

Xu Ning hesitated for a while, but finally replied: "Ancestor, the disciple has something unclear. Why didn't the patriarch teach his disciples those spells that could fly to the heavens and the earth, but let his disciples learn something that didn't matter. ”

"Falling marks, learning to fly away from the sky is very simple, but it is even more difficult to learn to refine the heart." Patriarch Bodhi shook his head lightly and said.

"But the disciple doesn't want to refine his heart, he just wants to learn some advanced spells." Xu Ning gritted his teeth tightly and responded, he was very afraid that the Bodhi Patriarch would suddenly get angry, in that case, Xu Ning would really have no hope.

More than a dozen breaths passed, but Patriarch Bodhi still didn't speak, but Xu Ning's back was already soaked in cold sweat.

"Falling marks, although a martial artist can obtain extremely strong mana in a short period of time, he can't go far after all. But the enlightened ones are able to truly overpower the heavens, do you understand? Patriarch Bodhi slowly opened his eyes.

Patriarch Bodhi was like an old man at this time, his body did not have any powerful aura exposed, but he was like an ordinary old man.

"Patriarch, the disciple's cultivation is still shallow, and I don't understand." Xu Ning looked up at Patriarch Bodhi suspiciously, he didn't understand what Patriarch Bodhi meant by these words.

Could it be that Patriarch Bodhi wants me to follow the path of an enlightened person? Xu Ning thought silently in his heart.

"In the Three Realms, those who can really have the right to speak are those who have cultivated and attained enlightenment, and those who have cultivated martial arts and attained morality will not be able to go far after all. As a teacher, I want you to follow the path of an enlightened person like me. Patriarch Bodhi looked at Xu Ning and showed a hint of a smile.

Enlightened? Xu Ning frowned slightly.

"Patriarch, how much time does it take for an enlightened person to truly achieve something?" Xu Ning asked suspiciously.

Patriarch Bodhi didn't feel any irritability, but patiently explained to Xu Ning: "It took countless years of cultivation for the teacher to have a place in the Three Realms, and like today's Jade Emperor, it took countless thousands of years to get to where he is today, do you understand?" ”

Hearing Patriarch Bodhi's explanation, he knew the hardships of enlightened people, and he didn't have so much time to walk this path.

"Patriarch, the disciple is unwilling to take this path, and I ask the ancestor to forgive."

Xu Ning took a deep breath, and then said slowly towards Patriarch Bodhi.
