Chapter 17 The College Accepts Disciples
The old man's surname is Hua Mingpei, and he has one hundred and eight this year.
There are miracles in this world, so there are some people who can live longer through spiritual practice, but they don't grow ridiculously long.
Generally, people over 100 years old are still old in life, like Old Man Hua, who is still physically tough over 100 years old, which is rare in the Inhuman world.
Compared to humans, some demonic creatures have a much longer life.
This night, after leaving a table of treasures for Bai Nanxiang, Old Man Hua left with a relieved smile.
After the old man left, Bai Nanxiang lay on the wooden bed for a long time before falling asleep again.
The next day, when she woke up, the Lin family's breakfast had been prepared, and today's breakfast was made by Lin Jin, but Lin Sheng was missing from the breakfast table.
I have seen the situation of the eldest aunt cooking in person yesterday, and Bai Nanxiang is no longer surprised that a person dressed as a noble son like Lin Jin will cook in person.
It seems that the people in Cuiwei Academy are quite accustomed to doing housework by themselves.
In this respect, they are not at all like the aristocracy of this era.
The Lin family does not have the rule of not eating and sleeping, and the eldest aunt is a talkative, so before the breakfast officially began, Bai Nanxiang had already figured out where Lin Sheng went.
He left the academy to take in apprentices......
"The academy wants to accept apprentices?"
After she came?
Bai Nanxiang ate a bowl of lily gruel, a plate of fragrant peanuts, a plate of small whitebait, half a salted duck egg and ate breakfast in small bites, blinked a pair of big eyes between meals, and obediently answered the eldest aunt.
The eldest aunt didn't put down half a salted duck egg in her hand, and replied in a loud voice.
"I didn't accept it, but you didn't come, the old man said that he would teach you to cultivate the Tao anyway, and teaching one person is also teaching, and teaching a few is also teaching, so let your eldest uncle go down the mountain to collect some destined people."
That's what happened.
Bai Nanxiang held a porridge bowl and listened a little dumbfounded.
So by the way, take in a few more disciples? Is it so casual for the academy to accept disciples?
And also
"What is a destined person?"
Bai Nanxiang looked at the eldest aunt and asked puzzled.
The eldest aunt swallowed the salted duck egg in her mouth and replied casually.
"The destined apprentice is the master's statement, in fact, it is to collect some wrongs."
When Li Yao said this, Bai Nanxiang just took a solid sip of porridge, and the three words of injustice came out, and her solid mouthful of porridge almost squirted out.
She quickly coughed lightly and swallowed the gruel quickly, and then looked at the eldest aunt with a blushing face.
"...... wronged?"
It can't be the wronged person she thought she was.
When the eldest aunt saw her reaction, she couldn't help but be happy, and after laughing, she asked Bai Nanxiang with some meaning.
"Do you know what the elements of monasticism are?"
Bai Nanxiang subconsciously remembered some of what she had heard in her previous life, as if there was a spiritual root saying.
But here she had not heard of the word Linggen.
Come to think of it, they are all the same people, no one has one more organ than the other, how can some people have spiritual roots, and some people just don't.
Since there is no such thing as a spiritual root, it should be something else.
In addition to the spiritual root, there were a few words that she had heard in another life and in this life.
Bai Nanxiang replied softly.
"But the land of wealth?"
The eldest aunt looked at Bai Nanxiang with a smile.
"You're right, you're not right, the wealth is just a condition, and there is only one really key element, think about it again."
Only one?
Bai Nanxiang remembered the three words of injustice, looked at the eldest aunt with some uncertainty, and hesitated for a while before speaking.
"Is it difficult, is it...... Money? ”
The eldest aunt snapped and clapped her palms.
"That's right, it's money!"
"Other aliens don't bother to mention the word money, thinking that we aliens are the most free and easy to get out of the dust, but in fact, my generation is also in the world, how to avoid vulgarity."
"Vulgar and elegant, vulgar is not afraid, and not admitting one's own vulgarity is the real vulgar!"
"Cultivation is extremely energy-consuming, and once you start cultivating, you have no time to do anything else, how can you live without enough money?"
"What's more, the Dan Weapon Technique doesn't need to cost countless money to obtain, and the blessed land has no money and no power, so there is no need to think about it at all."
"We are aliens without money, but we are not aliens."
"The fate of cultivation is money!"
"Since you want to accept destined people as apprentices, don't you have to go to the fate yourself!"
"You see, although there is a shelf in our Nuoda Academy, there are only a few people, what do you say?"
"It's not because all the money is used to buy pills and magic weapons, even if there is a little surplus, you have to save it, our academy is special, ordinary people buy it uselessly and add trouble, and it is difficult to meet an innocent and clever and reliable background."
"This cultivation, the more you go on, the greater the cost, the academy is also unable to make ends meet, and it is troublesome to buy a small house, which makes my academy so thin."
"Your uncles, except for the third child, are all Taoist idiots, one by two to study the Dao skills first, let them come forward to accept an apprentice, just like asking for their lives, one by one to avoid them."
"The third child is also a failure! Forget it, don't mention him. ”
"You see, just a few of them, they can't even find a serious Taoist couple at this age, except for your eldest uncle and second uncle, the three next to them are still single!"
"Like a lonely family, the few small servants in our academy have been assigned to your uncles and aunts, and when they come to us, they can only count on me."
"Actually, what's wrong with accepting apprentices, being able to receive Shu Xiu, fighting more people can overwhelm people in momentum, isn't it, one person can't beat it, let's always win a group fight."
……
The eldest aunt seemed to open the conversation box all of a sudden, and had an in-depth discussion with Bai Nanxiang on the word money.
Bai Nanxiang was shocked when she heard this.
Although she had long been aware of the details of her aunt's own cooking, the academy seemed to be more down-to-earth than she thought.
But she still didn't expect that the down-to-earth spirit could reach this point!
It turned out that the eldest uncle actually went down the mountain to get money!
What a real ...... I have seen it for a long time.
She also thought that the small number of people in the academy was because she wanted to be pure, so she was thin.
It turned out just because, poor.
Bai Nanxiang remembered that on the way to the academy, Lin Jin took her on a tour of the mountains and rivers, eating in a good restaurant and living in a clean inn.
At that time, he thought that the other party's great business didn't care about these, but it turned out to be a fat man with a swollen face.
Thinking like this, Bai Nanxiang quietly glanced sideways at Lin Jin next to him.
Lin Jin was holding a bowl of Sven Wen to eat, ignoring the two of them.
Bai Nanxiang only glanced at it, and soon returned to chatting with her aunt.
To say that the eldest aunt is also very interesting, although she loves to talk, has a loud voice, and is anxious, but what she says is reasonable, that is, she is a little dissatisfied with other uncles and aunts, and it is also an indisputable dissatisfaction.
She really treats them as if they were her own family.
After chatting with her for a long time, Bai Nanxiang even felt that the eldest aunt looked at the noise, but she actually lived a really free and easy life.
After breakfast, Bai Nanxiang was carried by Lin Jin to the lake to learn to meditate on the grounds of being diligent in cultivating the Tao.
There is a lot of emphasis on meditation, and it is not just a matter of sitting cross-legged.
How the legs are folded, how the hands are clasped into gossip, and even the frequency of breathing, the mind and mind are all exquisite.
If you meditate correctly, you should sit down one day with a refreshed spirit, a comfortable body, and no numbness in your hands and feet.
Obviously, Bai Nanxiang's first day of meditation was not a success.
After waiting for two hours, when Lin Jin nodded and allowed her to rest, the little girl's feet were so numb that she couldn't stand up at all, and she rubbed and pounded for a long time before her feet barely regained consciousness.
"Meditation is just the foundation, the sufferings of monasticism, the joys of monasticism, you will slowly understand it after you can meditate and realize it."
Leaving such a sentence, Lin Jin closed his eyes again and spit out towards the lake.
Bai Nanxiang looked at the motionless young man like a wooden man on the side, sighed lightly, and fell on the grass with his head up.
The sky blue on the rootless mountain was crystal clear, like a piece of crystal, and several white clouds slowly drifted through it.
The crane chirping in the distance swayed in the breeze far and near.
Large swaths of milk vetch swayed gently.
The shirt is just right, I don't feel hungry in my belly, I don't have to worry about the next meal, and I don't have to worry about the eyes of others.
For a while, Bai Nanxiang only felt it.
The years are quiet, and the four words are probably the scene in front of you.
