Chapter 3 I Treat You as a Brother, But You Want to Be My Father
If you really want not to cross the catastrophe, or even turn the catastrophe into an auspicious cloud opportunity, Lu Tong still needs to rely more on the guidance of the tribulation cloud in his mind.
It's just that now that the drip method has reached the state of perfection, Lu Tong has to find another way out if he wants to further dilute the clouds.
The only way he could think of it was to try to practice other ways or to become a preacher.
Cultivating the Dao method can also continue to weaken the power of the Cloud Tribulation, but there is no suitable human law inheritance on Yunzhu Mountain for him to try.
As for being a preacher, this is also the method that our predecessors have explored. The preacher recruits a wide range of disciples, teaches the Dharma, helps others to overcome calamities, and at the same time can alleviate their own calamities.
Therefore, since ancient times, all monks who meet the conditions will open their own dojos and compete to receive disciples to preach.
And the more famous the preacher with many disciples, the higher the success rate of his own tribulation, which is also the most traceable and effective method for thousands of years.
Although Lu Tong has not yet reached the Iron Bone Realm and is not qualified to open his own dojo, he has a method of perfection and can actually guide others in their cultivation.
Of course, the premise is that someone is really willing to recognize him as a teacher, and only after making a heavenly oath and formally apprenticing to the teacher, can a strong relationship between the master and apprentice be established to complement each other and overcome the calamity together.
No matter which method it is, Lu Tong can't continue to stay on Yunzhu Mountain now, and he can only find what he needs when he goes down the mountain.
"By the way, we can't forget the wine of the second senior sister. Lu Tong reminded himself, so as not to come back and face the resentful eyes of the second senior sister.
On the same day, Lu Tong went to say goodbye to the second senior sister, but he only smelled the smell of wine outside the bamboo house, and heard the senior sister snoring like thunder, obviously drinking too much. According to Zhu Qingning's habits, every time he slept for a few days and nights, Lu Tong didn't dare to disturb, and left after leaving a note.
The senior brother was cultivating in the back mountain, and Lu Tong didn't see anyone, but he heard a strong and powerful response from the cave, so he was relieved to go down the mountain.
It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that a tall figure came out of the cave, looking down the mountain from afar, and watching Lu Tong disappear into the bamboo forest below.
......
Yunzhu Mountain is as high as a hundred zhang, and the bamboo forest under the mountain is also regarded as the range of the mountain gate, shrouded in a cloud and mist, which is actually a psychedelic effect of the mountain protection array.
Most of the people outside the mountain gate know that there is a cultivation mountain gate here, but they rarely worship the mountain, firstly, because Yunzhu Mountain refuses visitors, and secondly, there is no dojo on the mountain, so it is useless to go.
Therefore, over time, the people around them have forgotten about this immortal mountain, and it is just a landscape in the clouds.
Out of the bamboo forest under the Yunzhu Mountain, it is the dojo that belongs to other sects, there is Qingyun Sect in the north, Shangguan family in the west, Burial Flower Valley in the east, and Cangluan Palace in the south.
Among them, Yunzhu Mountain, Qingyun Sect and Shangguan Shijia are all located in the boundary of the Yunxiao Mountain Range in North Yunzhou, and the Burial Flower Valley and Cangluan Palace belong to the scope of East Qingzhou and Zhongshenzhou respectively.
A small Yunzhu Mountain, which has no dojo, is sandwiched between the four major sects from the three continents, and I don't know whether to be happy or sad.
Fortunately, there is a large river meandering on the southeast and southeast sides of Yunzhu Mountain, and the two sects on the other side of the river rarely cross the line, which gives Yunzhu Mountain a little more respite.
"It's no wonder that Master used to be depressed, and he was blocked by people at the door of his house every day to eat and drink spicy food, and it was not easy to put it on anyone. Lu Tong walked out of the bamboo forest, and he was already close to the range of the Qingyun Sect's dojo, and he couldn't help but sigh again.
According to what Master said, thousands of years ago, there was only one side of the Cloud Holy Land here, and where there were any families and sects to show off their might.
The entire area of the Yunxiao Mountain Range is a dojo that belongs to the Yunxiao Holy Land, including the current Shangguan Family, the Qingyun Sect, and the Thunder Pole Cave Heaven that is farther and higher.
The place where Lu Tong is currently located is one of the mountainside dojos belonging to the Qingyun Sect.
The so-called mountain dojo, to put it bluntly, is the territory of the preachers of the major sects, on the one hand, it is to protect the mortal city under the mountain, and on the other hand, it is mainly to occupy resources, especially disciple resources.
As for the mountain dojo, it is the core dojo that belongs to the missionary master in the sect, and ordinary people are not even qualified to go up.
In this way, all living beings in the mortal world are divided and ruled by various dojos, and while being governed by them, they can also be sheltered, and those who have the qualifications to practice have the opportunity to worship the mountain gate and are expected to attain immortality.
Lu Tong has long been familiar with the human master dojo in front of him, and Qingyun Sect has nine dojos in the mortal world at the foot of the mountain, and this place is only one of the smaller ones. This human teacher is known as the Evergreen Human Teacher, and he is a preacher of the Iron Bone Realm of the Second Tribulation.
Lu Tong has been paying attention to this place for a long time, because his first step after becoming a preacher is to squeeze out the opponent's dojo and remove an eye-catching stumbling block for Yunzhu Mountain.
There is also the most important reason, the Evergreen Dojo is a dojo that was thrown away from the master's hands, it is the master's heart disease, and it is also the territory that Yunzhu Mountain is bound to get.
"You can't rush, you have to take your time. Let's start by grabbing disciples......" Lu Tong reminded himself that he couldn't be in a hurry, and he could only live for a long time by taking one step at a time.
As for this first disciple, he had already thought about it, and it was in the cloud city in front of him.
In the jurisdiction of the Evergreen Master's dojo, there is a cloud city and nine surrounding villages and towns, with a population of less than 100,000.
Under normal circumstances, the place where the preacher really preaches and performs the Dharma is called the preaching platform, and the preaching platform of the evergreen teacher is located in the center of Cloud City.
Lu Tong followed the flow of people all the way and approached the preaching platform that could accommodate 10,000 people at the same time.
In this world, the most crowded place at the foot of the mountain is never a market such as a vegetable market, but a pulpit at each ashram. After all, who doesn't want the opportunity to live longer and live longer?
However, although the preaching hall was crowded, it did not make a noise, otherwise it would have been rectified by the disciples in charge of law enforcement in the ashram.
When Lu Tong came here, the wide square of the preaching platform was already full of people, quietly looking up at the middle-aged man in the green robe sitting cross-legged on the high platform in the center of the preaching platform.
This evergreen teacher either explained the true meaning and rhyme of the drip method, or demonstrated the 'special effects' of the drip method with his own hands, so that everyone around him was fascinated.
Lu Tong didn't listen much, these people sitting on the periphery were not even named disciples, at best, they could only be called observer disciples, and their status was very low.
Only those who are favored by the preacher have the opportunity to become a registered disciple, an outer disciple, or even a disciple himself.
However, only the disciples of the personal and outer sects can receive the true transmission of the preacher, and often see the visualization map, as well as join the sect behind the preacher.
As for the registered disciples and the observer disciples, they are only counted as multiple titles, helping the preacher maintain order in the ashram, sharing resources, and making decisions.
There is a chain of contempt among them, the disciples of the personal transmission look down on the outer disciples, the outer disciples look down on the registered disciples, and the registered disciples look down on those who are observing.
As for the disciples who were not allowed to enter, they felt that those who did not come to the preaching center to hear the sermon were wasted and self-defeating.
There are also idlers like Lu Tong, who are similar to the white prostitution party, but they don't even look down on the preacher on the high platform.
In addition to him, there was another person present who had the same thought, which was also the goal of Lu Tong's trip.
"Brother Dongyang, come out. Lu Tong saw the tall and tall target at a glance in the crowd, and leaned over and whispered.
"Brother Lu, what's wrong with you? I haven't seen you for months. Chao Dongyang woke up from his realization, saw Lu Tong's handsome and compelling face, and said with a look of surprise.
"It's not convenient here. Lu Tong glanced at an outer disciple who was staring at him not far away, pulled Chao Dongyang to get up and walked out.
The two quickly left the preaching platform, and Lu Tong did not stop, but walked quickly outside the city.
"Brother Lu, are you in a hurry?" Seeing that Lu Tong didn't say a word, Chao Dongyang asked as he walked, and looked back at the direction of the preaching stand behind him from time to time, reluctant to give up.
"I'll say it in a minute. After Lu Tong responded succinctly, he left Cloud City with the puzzled Chao Dongyang, and walked ten miles to a barren forest outside the city that no one cared about.
"Brother Lu, what do you want to say? I have gained a lot in the past two days, and I feel that I am about to get started with the Dao Fa, and I can't delay. After Chao Dongyang stood still, he said anxiously.
Lu Tong looked at Chao Dongyang's square face with a serious face, and said solemnly: "Dongyang, you worship me as a teacher." ”
The impatience on Chao Dongyang's face was suddenly swept away, his eyes were round like copper bells, and he was silent for more than a dozen breaths before he blushed and said, "Brother Lu, you should know that I treat you as a brother." ”
Lu Tong looked up at Chao Dongyang slightly, and nodded, no way, he is already very tall, but the height of the man in front of him is two meters away.
Chao Dongyang gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Are you going to be my father now?"
Master, Master, Master and Father, Chao Dongyang doesn't seem to be wrong to understand it this way.
Lu Tong nodded again, and asked tentatively: "If you can't accept it, after apprenticeship, you still call me eldest brother, how about it?"
Lu Tong had already made up his mind to accept Chao Dongyang as an apprentice, because when he was concentrating and perceiving just now, he found that he could also 'see' the other party's cloud projection.
This discovery surprised and delighted him, which meant that he could use this specialty to better teach the Dharma.
Moreover, Lu Tong's perception was really shocked.
Chao Dongyang's talent is so high that he is only three points worse than himself. The blackness of its catastrophe is really unique, and it is definitely the best choice for accepting disciples from the family.
