Chapter 21: Building the Foundation
Tianjiu explained like this, she has always been chivalrous, and now she hates Zhou Zhiwen even more, although the person who was oppressed was Fang Xiaotang, she also felt the same way.
"Alright, alright...... I know. Fang Xiaotang was perfunctory, worried that Zhou Zhiwen would listen to it again, it really scared Shizun, and he always felt that he was everywhere. If you have a hint of wind and grass in yourself, you will let people in this kind of practice find out.
His own family knows his own affairs, and Fang Xiaotang has not learned any Shangqing Dao method, so it is naturally impossible to impress Jian Feidao with his Dao skills. However, Fang Xiaotang didn't care, she already looked down on the techniques of the Shangqing Dao Sect, and if she didn't learn it, she wouldn't learn it.
In the following days, Fang Xiaotang worked hard, almost sleeplessly read all the books and memorized them, and first consolidated the theory.
After that, every night in the grove behind the Hanlu Palace began to study the "Red Flower" sword codex, fortunately, Fang Xiaotang used willow branches instead of swords every time, even if Zhou Zhiwen saw it, he couldn't see anything, only that this was a child's playfulness.
Therefore, in the process of meditation and meditation in the morning, he was inevitably taught by his master, but fortunately, Fang Xiaotang had a big heart, except for lowering his head and making some grimaces, he wisely did not talk back.
In this way, even if Zhou Zhiwen doesn't like it, it is impossible to beat and punish her for this, but there is still a trace of fox cunning in his eyes.
Fang Xiaotang thought about it, meditating left and right would not help her, so why not take two scoldings, it was better to seize the time to read books and practice swords.
However, after reading the records of "The Eight Divisions of the World", Fang Xiaotang is not ignorant of the relationship between master and apprentice, so naturally he will not rashly contradict Zhou Zhiwen. In that case, once the conflict breaks out, she is the only one at a disadvantage.
Although he was very envious of Tian Jiu's knowledge of many strange Dao methods, all the first-order and second-order Tianjiu had dabbled in them, and they were even proficient in some of the third-order Dao methods. However, it stands to reason that disciples cannot teach the Dharma to each other, otherwise what is the use of having a teacher?
Therefore, Fang Xiaotang was only envious, and never asked to steal the Dao Law, so if it didn't work, it would affect Tianjiu.
Fortunately, Tianjiu was always by her side and resisted all kinds of obstacles for her. For example, when the master arrived, wake her up in time, ask questions, and silently help her write answers in the palm of her hand.
On the contrary, several uncles in the inner gate couldn't stand it, as if they were competing with Fang Xiaotang, and the more she couldn't ask, the more she ordered her to answer the question.
Fang Xiaotang and Tianjiu, one of them has excellent knowledge of books, and the other has extremely talented cultivation talents, combining theory and practice, what problems can stump them?
As a result, Fang Xiaotang's reputation became famous for a while, overpowering all the disciples who entered this year, and now everyone understood that there was a Tianjiao Fang Xiaotang under the disciple of Zhou Zhiwen, a disciple of the third generation, even if his cultivation was useless, he knew everything.
After Shi Mingze heard the news, he became more and more displeased, Fang Xiaotang had no talent, he had such a good immortal asset, he actually abandoned his cultivation and did not want to forge ahead. At the moment, the other party Xiaotang was even more disdainful, people in cultivation are comparing combat power, and they are not taking a written test.
But that's okay, since this demonic child doesn't like to practice, he naturally doesn't worry about Fang Xiaotang going down the path of Yueji in the future and bringing disaster to the world.
It's just that there is still a thorn in the eye, especially when I slowly found that Tianjiu seems to take special care of her, and she has been guided alone after class many times, and her mood is even more unhappy.
"The innate spirit body actually mixed with that waste, and wasted its noble identity in vain, isn't this self-willingly degenerate?"
"Fang Xiaotang is really hopeless, the immortal capital is peerless, but he has not succeeded in building a foundation until now."
"It's really embarrassing for Wu Anhou, thinking that her mother made a big mistake in the past, but her talent is also first-class, but she broke through the Changfeng Five Realms in 100 days!"
"How can such a waste be a disciple of the Pure Dao Sect for me? Empty talent, but not enterprising, do we let us feed her in vain? ”
“……”
There was a lot of discussion in the Hanlu Palace, and it was inevitable that some people would laugh at Fang Xiaotang for a few words.
"Okay, let's say a few words." The Pope also had disappointment and regret in his eyes, but he didn't expect that after so long, Fang Xiaotang still couldn't build a foundation.
Fortunately, in addition to practicing, Tianjiu was ready to start teaching Fang Xiaotang some commonly used Taoist methods.
Tianjiu's unintentional approach almost frustrated Zhou Zhiwen's plan, and just when he thought that the plan was about to fail, Tianjiu asked Shi Mingze to call him away, in order not to distract her from practicing.
And Fang Xiaotang is still the first person to theorize. However, since few people had seen her move, there were not many people who knew about her true cultivation.
Therefore, below the three generations of disciples, all of them respected her, they didn't know Fang Xiaotang's cultivation progress, but said that her cultivation had far surpassed her peers.
Only after Zhou Zhiwen heard about it, he secretly laughed, and saw that Fang Xiaotang was very happy to eat the bitter fruit.
And those teenagers didn't pay attention to these, they didn't know how good Fang Xiaotang's knowledge was, and they didn't understand what Fang Xiaotang's cultivation was underneath. They just quietly looked at the rainy Yuejian Creek, and the back of the girl in the blue dress was a little lonely, left behind and independent.
The differential blows, sending wisps of fragrance, like the faint singing of a tall building in the distance. The girl's clothes are fluttering, as if she wants to fly away in the wind, and she will be swaying for nine days.
A young man said in a voice, "That Senior Sister Fuyi...... It's really good-looking. Another teenager said: "I heard that she is from Yecheng, and I don't know which lady is in the house." ”
……
……
The eight-character formula is one of the most important Taoist methods in the inner sect of the Shangqing Dao Sect, and it is taught by eight people.
The key to the word is taught by Zhou Zhiwen, majoring in immovable root seals; The military character recipe was taught by Xuandu, majoring in Donkey Kong wheel seal; Xu Youcai is in charge of the fighting word, majoring in the outer lion seal; The teacher of the word recipe is Bei Li Cao, majoring in the inner lion seal; All the characters major in the outer binding seal, the array character major in the inner binding seal, the column character recipe major in the wisdom fist seal, the former character recipe major in the day wheel seal and the line character recipe major in the treasure bottle seal, these five veins are jointly guided by several of the nine sons of the Shangqing Dynasty led by the second generation of disciples.
Other methods are like picking plants, like cooking, etc., Fang Xiaotang can still cope with it, and he is far ahead of others. However, the eight-character formula belongs to the wise Dao method, and without a solid foundation, it is impossible to cultivate.
And Zhou Zhiwen has never taught her the basic Taoism at all, so naturally she can't grasp the key with her own understanding alone, and she can't understand any word of the Taoist recipe and mudra. Even if it was recognized as the easiest inner seal to get started, she could only barely touch some of the fur.
For Fang Xiaotang, who has not practiced the basic Taoism, it is as if he has not memorized the multiplication formula to perform advanced calculations, which is naturally at a loss. Even if you occasionally catch some spiritual light, it is like a blind man touching an elephant, only to glimpse the tip of the iceberg, and if you are not careful, you will deviate from the direction of cultivation.
