Chapter Forty-Seven: The Jade Sword of Wisdom
In front of Hu Xianxian was a small courtyard with white walls and black tiles, and she hid in the bamboo bushes outside the window of one of the rooms. She is a fox at the moment, and she wants to eavesdrop on people's conversations, and appearing in her original form can hide her breath better.
In the window is a silver-haired old man and a blue-clothed young man talking, although the silver-haired old man is full of silver hair, his facial features are handsome, and his spirit is strong, this is Master Chao Xuantong. That young man is Cheng Haofeng, his appearance has not changed much, but his eyes are more radiant, and his gentle and elegant temperament implies free and uninhibited.
A thought flashed vaguely in Hu Xianxian's mind, she felt that this Cheng Haofeng was really immortal, no wonder the little vixen was so obsessed with him.
Perhaps it was this flash of thought that made the little fox's breath fluctuate, Chao Xuantong glanced out of the window, as if he found someone eavesdropping.
She curled herself up tighter, and a sentence echoed in Hu Xianxian's mind, "Who are you?" You almost made me find out by Master. ”
Hu Xianxian's consciousness was blurred for a while, but what the two people said in the window could be heard clearly.
Chao Xuantong said: "Haofeng, do you know that the teacher has high hopes for you before giving you the Huixin Jade Sword?" ”
Cheng Haofeng responded sincerely: "The disciple must practice diligently and live up to the master's expectations." It's just that the disciple dared to ask the master, do you want the disciple to take over the position of the head of the sect with the Huixin Jade Sword Chuan and the disciple? The disciple had no intention of taking over the throne, let alone having a dispute with the senior brother. ”
Chao Xuantong smiled with relief: "You brothers and sisters are really humble, and you are very pleased to be a teacher." It's just that this Huixin Jade Sword is not a missionary token of the master's teaching, and the teacher expects you to attain a high-level immortal position. ”
Cheng Haofeng held the little jade sword and took a closer look, he asked Chao Xuantong senior brother Ma Mingfeng who was more diligent than him, and the second senior brother Long Xiaofeng was more talented than him, why did he pass on the Huixin jade sword to him?
He also said that the fourth junior sister Ling Ruofeng kept the precepts more than him, the fifth junior brother Lie Yufeng was born more noble than him, the sixth junior brother Qin Mufeng was more immortal than him, and the seventh junior sister Bai Huifeng was also more intelligent and clever than him, why did he choose him?
Hu Xianxian remembered in a trance that Chao Xuantong had several artifacts handed down by his ancestors, and he gave them to his disciples. But this Huixin Jade Sword has always been used by the master himself, and the master's portable magic weapon certainly has a special meaning, and it is no wonder that Cheng Haofeng does not dare to accept it at this moment.
Chao Xuan had a sad face on the same face, and he explained to Cheng Haofeng: Ma Mingfeng is diligent and dignified, but he is too rigid to do things, and he can't understand the avenue.
Long Xiaofeng is shrewd and refined, but he is easily entangled in mundane affairs, and it is difficult to concentrate on the Tao.
Ling Ruofeng is noble and sincere, but her observance of various precepts is too straightforward. She didn't understand that we were cultivating the precepts for the sake of better and faster enlightenment, not for letting the precepts bind us.
And Lie Yufeng is the son of the lord of Qingqiu Country, free and easy, but he is an outlier in the end, and it is impossible to do his best for mortals.
Qin Mufeng is arrogant and arrogant, but he has a paranoid temperament, and his way of doing things is based on who he likes and who he hates, rather than who is right and who is wrong.
After analyzing these, he solemnly asked Cheng Haofeng: "Think about it, will they think about the people of the world?" “
Hu Xianxian heard Chao Xuantong say it again, and felt that what he said was quite reasonable, but after thinking about it, it was not right, and he said in his heart, what about me? Do you think I don't even qualify to be evaluated? Well, no, it's not me, it's this little vixen lying here.
Cheng Haofeng also had the same question as her: "What about the seventh senior sister?" Does Master also look at her as a stranger? “
Chao Xuantong pondered for a while and said: "As a teacher, there is no prejudice against the wind and the wind. The reason why the teacher said that Yu Feng would not do his best for mortal affairs was because once a catastrophe struck, his first priority was to protect the people of Qingqiu Kingdom, rather than putting the mortal people first. As for the return air, ......"
Cheng Haofeng said eagerly: "The father of the seventh senior sister is the god of Dahuaipo Mountain, although they belong to the fox clan, they have long been out of the jurisdiction of the fox clan, and the seventh senior sister is even more dedicated to the Tao and intelligent. ”
Chao Xuantong smiled slightly when he said these words, and Bai Huifeng was even more sweet in her heart, she didn't expect him to praise her like this in front of her master (Hu Xianxian, who belongs to the same family, was a little jealous, and Cheng Haofeng had never praised her).
But after Chao Xuantong laughed, he said: "Her heart is tied to you, if you seek the Tao wholeheartedly, she will devote herself to the Tao, you are willing to be ordinary, she will also be willing to be ordinary." Can you understand why you have high expectations of your teacher? Your choice is determined by the choice of two people. ”
Cheng Haofeng was silent for a long time, Hu Xianxian's heart tightened, and he didn't know how he would answer.
He finally spoke: "Since the Huixin Jade Sword is handed over to the disciple, the disciple will definitely live up to the master's trust." ”
Hu Xianxian and Bai Huifeng both felt a chill in their hearts, but Bai Huifeng could fully understand Cheng Haofeng, but Hu Xianxian felt that he was quite a wretch.
Chao Xuantong sighed lightly: "Haofeng, you go and practice the sword with your heart, this sword can cut gold and break iron, and after communicating with your mind, you can also cut delusions and eliminate evil spirits." ”
Cheng Haofeng said goodbye to his master, and Hu Xianxian (Bai Huifeng) was like being frozen in an ice cave. She didn't know how long she had been lying on her stomach, and the master was also called by Dao Tong to eat, and she was still lying there.
"Seventh Senior Sister, come out quickly. Do you want to wait for Master to come back and find out that you are eavesdropping on his conversation with the Third Senior Brother? This is the fourth senior sister Ling Ruofeng calling her, Ling Ruofeng spoke softly, but her soft voice revealed a cold and fierce feeling.
Bai Hui turned into a humanoid salute, what she wanted to say was: Thank you Fourth Senior Sister for reminding her. But Hu Xianxian didn't want to say this, so the words she blurted out became: "How does the fourth senior sister know that I am eavesdropping on the conversation between the master and the third senior brother?" Can't I just happen to pass by? Yo, you're eavesdropping, aren't you? ”
Bai Huifeng hurriedly covered her mouth after speaking, she couldn't believe that she would say this.
Ling Ruofeng's face was already white and translucent, and after listening to what she said, her face was as if it had been frozen blue, so translucent that she could faintly see the blue and purple blood flowing.
Bai Huifeng wanted to apologize and quickly walked away, she couldn't let the master know this, but she couldn't help but smile: "I'm confused, the fourth senior sister has always been the most obedient to the rules and precepts, and she won't do anything like eavesdropping on others." ”
Ling Ruofeng's pale face turned purple for a while: "What if I just listen to them?" I just listened to what they said and wanted to teach you a lesson, vixen! You also heard, why did Master give the Third Senior Brother Huixin Jade Sword? I'm afraid that he will be seduced by you, a little vixen! ”
Bai Huifeng (Hu Xianxian) said angrily: "You are still praised by the master and the third senior brother for keeping the most precepts, and you are guilty of insulting your fellow disciples and spitting evil words by calling your junior sister a 'little fox spirit', two great precepts!" After saying that, she covered her mouth again, and she vaguely remembered that she didn't want to say this, but the words just kept coming out.
Ling Ruofeng smiled miserably: "I am indeed at fault, the fault is that I am too reserved!" If you had confessed to him earlier, you wouldn't have disturbed him. Bai Huifeng, I can't imagine that you are so well-behaved on weekdays, but today you dare to contradict me. Do you also taste despair, and you can't calm your mind? ”
Hu Xianxian constantly suppressed Bai Huifeng's will, she didn't want to face Ling Ruofeng, she wanted to provoke Ling Ruofeng.
She held her head high and said, "Who said I would despair? Our sect does not prohibit marriage, and Master only told the third senior brother to work hard, and did not say that he was not allowed to approach me, I have a chance. ”
Ling Ruofeng glanced at her coldly: "Why are you talking nonsense today?" This sect does not prohibit marriage, but the master earnestly hopes that the third senior brother will attain the high-level immortal position, and once he loses Yuanyang, he will not be able to cultivate the Dao technique to the highest level. Therefore, those who are devoted to the Tao must break their desires and forget their feelings, have you forgotten? ”
Hu Xianxian's momentum weakened, and he whispered, "Maybe the third senior brother's qualifications are extraordinary, and he is not subject to those restrictions?" ”
Ling Ruofeng looked at her incredulously and said, "Are you stupid? Who can be unrestricted? If you come to cultivate without restrictions, you can be an immortal golden immortal, and you can have a beautiful wife and concubine, how comfortable. It is a pity that there has never been a precedent between heaven and earth for such a good thing to be taken by one person. “
Hu Xianxian was still unconvinced: "Maybe the third senior brother himself doesn't want to become an immortal?" ”
Ling Ruofeng laughed: "You are really stupid! You forgot that the third senior brother is the only son of the Cheng family, and his father is a cultivator of the Hanlin Academy, and he has never been allowed to cultivate. He vowed to become an immortal, and then enshrine his parents, so that the family could share the joy of immortality, so that he could worship under the master. He must at least be a Heavenly Immortal in order to have the qualifications to ask the Emperor of Heaven to exempt his parents from entering the underworld. Now, his parents are dead, and his penance day and night is not just to prove his oath and fulfill his filial piety. ”
Hu Xianxian wanted to say more, but Bai Huifeng's will was extremely firm, and she no longer let Hu Xianxian talk nonsense.
The consciousness that belonged to Bai Huifeng said according to his own heart: "Thank you Fourth Senior Sister for mentioning it, I will go to read the scriptures first." She hurried away.
Hu Xianxian heard Ling Ruofeng's cold warning behind him: "Wisdom Jade Sword, Wisdom Sword Cutting Love Silk Meaning!" Bai Huifeng, you can't deceive the third senior brother Huixin again! ”
Hu Xianxian's heart was shocked, and he was angry, forcibly suppressed Bai Huifeng's consciousness and turned his head and said, "Why am I blinding his wisdom?" Can't it be said that he has deceived my wisdom? He can cut off love silk with a sword, and his aunt and grandmother can cut off all the silk. ”
She didn't match Bai Huifeng's mood at all when she was feeling self-pity, self-pity, and self-reflection, she felt that her eyes lit up, and the crystals in the air flew into Cheng Haofeng's sleeves.
Cheng Haofeng got up, and his tone implied reproach: "Let's see tomorrow, your thoughts are too chaotic, and they have affected the development trajectory of the past in the crystal." ”
Hu Xianxian stretched his waist and said indifferently: "It's good to change the development trajectory!" When the time comes, replace me to enlighten you, and I will definitely go to you when you are just reincarnated. I won't look at me like you like I came after so many hard days, and I still put up a stinky shelf when I come. ”
