Chapter 38: Cultivation has no time
Early morning.
Mist shrouded Mount Qingcheng.
Climbing up the stairs, the towering nanmu trees are lush and green, hidden in the clouds.
There was a faint sound of the morning bell in my ears, and people couldn't help but slow down.
Walking here, you can fully understand the artistic conception of "after the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn".
Not long after, Li Xiang climbed to the top of the mountain and came to the door of the Taoist temple.
A little Taoist boy was sweeping the floor outside the door, and when he saw someone coming, he subconsciously gave a salute: "I don't know ...... this layman."
"Little junior brother, he is not a layman, but a Taoist friend."
A middle-aged Taoist who was sweeping the floor on the other side walked over with a smile.
"Uh......"
Xiao Daotong blinked suspiciously.
In his eyes, Li Ying should be a scholar, how did he become a Taoist friend?
Li Xiang smiled at the middle-aged Taoist, and raised his hand to give a Taoist gift: "This Taoist brother, I came here today to visit the abbot of Guiguan, can you report on your behalf?" ”
"Well, Poor Dao went to inform me...... Little junior brother, you take this fellow Taoist to the wing room to sit first. ”
Xiaodao Tong answered, took Li Xiang to a special room for entertaining guests, and made a bowl of tea.
didn't wait long, and the middle-aged Taoist hurriedly walked back: "Fellow Daoist, please come with the poor Dao ......"
On the way, the Taoist told the abbot the Taoist number: no dust.
Speaking of Shangqing Palace, Li Xiang had visited several times in his previous life, but when he stepped in again in this life, his mood was very different.
The Taoist temple is built on the mountain, and the scale is not very large, but Li Xiang can clearly sense that this is definitely not an ordinary Taoist temple.
Take the middle-aged Taoist who led the way, for example, he must have also stepped into the realm of qi refining, but his true qi is weaker.
It stands to reason that if the white snake sneaks into the Taoist temple, there will definitely be a master who will be able to discover it, why didn't it hurt it?
This is the mystery that Li Xiang wants to figure out on this trip.
After climbing a few high slopes, the middle-aged Taoist took Li Xiang into a small courtyard.
In the courtyard, an old man with a white beard was sitting at a stone table, holding a bowl of hot tea in his hand.
On the stone table, there was an extra bowl of tea, which must have been prepared.
"Junior Li Xiang, I have seen a dustless real person."
"Hehe, you don't have to be polite, sit down."
Wuchenzi didn't hold any tall shelves, and smiled and pointed to the stone bench next to the stone table.
"Thank you, real person."
Li Xiang thanked him, then sat down and looked at Wuchenzi secretly......
Have no bottom.
This was Li Xiang's first feeling.
With his current state, it was difficult to judge what level Wuchenzi had reached.
In short, at least it has surpassed the great realm of refining and refining qi.
After chatting a few words, Li Xiang picked up the tea bowl and secretly thought to himself about how to ask about the White Snake without showing a trace.
Unexpectedly, Wuchenzi suddenly said: "Xiaoyou is here for the white snake?" ”
"Huh?"
Li Xiang was a little out of shape and almost knocked the tea bowl to the ground.
This is too weird, his thoughts are just together, and the other party asks questions, is it possible to be able to read minds?
"Hehe, it looks like it's ......"
Wuchenzi stroked his beard and smiled, and continued: "Actually, as soon as you entered the poor road, you were suspicious. Come to think of it, you and the white snake have just been separated, and there is still a faint trace of its breath on your body......"
Li Xiang sighed from the bottom of his heart: He is worthy of being a master, and this can be sensed.
"If you are poor in Dao Guan Qi, you will know that what you are cultivating is the orthodoxy of the Great Dao...... Presumably, the one who has been preaching to the White Snake recently is Xiaoyou, right? ”
"Huh?"
Li Xiang was surprised again.
Then he got up and gave a salute: "The real person is clever and clever, and the insight into the heavenly machine is admired by the younger generation!" ”
Wuchenzi waved his hand and smiled: "Hehe, it's not a magic calculation, it's just a little perception and a little deduction technique......"
Although it is an understatement, Li Xiang does not think that it will be so simple.
Of course, thinking about it from another angle, perhaps for a master of the realm of Wuchenzi, insight into the mystery is a norm, and there is no fuss.
After chatting a few more words, Wuchenzi suddenly asked: "It seems that Xiaoyou has not been cultivating for a long time, but with such cultivation, it must be that the teacher has an extraordinary background......
"This ......" Li Xiang pondered for a moment and replied: "The family teacher only passed on the Taoism of the younger generations, and it is rare to see the clouds and wild cranes on weekdays. ”
"I see!" Wuchenzi didn't continue to ask, and said, "You went up the mountain this time, presumably because you were worried about the safety of the white snake."
In fact, the poor Dao cultivated in this mountain, and I had encountered it more than once.
Its spiritual intelligence far surpassed that of ordinary demons, so it could also sense the kindness of the poor Dao, so it dared to sneak into the courtyard to listen to the poor Dao preach to the disciples......"
Hearing this, Li Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, the younger generation also inadvertently fell in love with it. Although it is a demon, it is talented and dedicated to the Tao. Therefore, the younger generation preached some Taoist scriptures with it when they had nothing to do, hoping that it could achieve positive results as soon as possible. ”
Hearing this, Wuchenzi said with a solemn face: "Xiaoyou's merit is immeasurable!" ”
"Where and where, compared to a real person who preaches for a hundred years, the younger generation is ashamed."
"Hahaha, there is no time for cultivation, as long as you persevere and your Dao heart does not change, I believe that Xiaoyou will ascend to the Immortal Dao sooner or later."
"Thank you for the ......"
Next, Li Xiang took advantage of this rare opportunity and began to ask some questions about cultivation.
Although he has obtained the inheritance of Shennong, he has always explored it by himself, and it is inevitable that there will be some incomprehensible points.
I can't stop talking at all, and I completely forget about the loss of time.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Li Xiang realized that a whole day had passed.
"I'm sorry to disturb a real person for so long......"
Li Xiang stood up and bowed.
"It's okay, the last time I was on the top of the mountain with an old friend, I sat for more than half a year."
Li Xiang: "......"
……
After saying goodbye to Wuchenzi, Li Xiang returned to the cave again.
"Smack!"
As soon as he appeared, Xiaoqing shook his tail demonstratively.
"Kid, stay ......"
Li Xiang thought about it, and summoned Shennong Ding to be placed a few meters away.
"Wow!"
This time, Xiao Qing was fast, taking the lead and occupying a good position, with a natural demeanor.
The white snake did not go over, but swam in front of Li Xiang...... Because it knew that Li Xiang had gone to the Shangqing Palace, he must have something to say.
"Xiaobai, I went to the Shangqing Palace to find the abbot Wuchen Zhenren, and he said that when you first broke into the Taoist temple by mistake, he knew about it......"
"He is a real master, when you go with Xiaoqing in the future, remember to control Xiaoqing well, and don't let it make trouble......"
"Phew!"
Xiaoqing seems to be sleeping, but she has been eavesdropping. As soon as he heard Li Xiang mention it, he immediately glared at him fiercely.
"What are you staring at? I'm just kindly reminding you ......"
Li Xiang drank dissatisfiedly.
Actually, White Snake is not worried at all.
Because Xiaoqing trembled and frightened every time she went, she didn't dare to move when she shrunk into a ball, and she dared to make trouble?
Although it is belligerent, it is not brainless and brutal, and it becomes a good snake as soon as it enters the Taoist temple.
When the explanation was almost over, Li Xiang returned to the hospital and started normal business......
