Chapter 9: The Precepts
Yang Qi opened the small burlap bag with a curious expression, but there was nothing inside, and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, what magic weapons and talismans you said, there is clearly nothing in this cloth bag. ”
Su Lishi grinned, took the cloth bag, and suddenly stretched out his index finger and lightly tapped it on the cloth bag, only to see a cyan gas rushing into it. On the wooden table, there were many things on display: a long iron sword, three pieces of paper with strange runes on them, a set of cyan robes, and five green stones. Yang Qiqi said: "Fourth Senior Brother, are you playing tricks?"
Su Lishi said with a smile: "Little junior brother, this is not a trick, but a magic power. This little burlap bag is called a storage bag, and it doesn't look like it's a small one, but it can hold everything in the house. It's just that this storage bag has a feature, that is, it requires someone with mana to open it. Just now I pointed my index finger on it, and it was the mana that penetrated into it. You don't have the slightest mana in your body right now, so it's normal that you can't open it. ”
Yang Qi was secretly surprised: "There is such a wonderful thing in the world!" and asked: "Isn't this thing for me? Since I don't have the slightest mana in my body now, how can I open it?" Give me this thing, it's just a waste. ”
Su Lishi said: "This storage bag is naturally for you, but if you want to open it, you need to figure it out yourself." Since you don't have mana now, then practice hard, and when mana appears in your body, you will be able to open it naturally. This is the rule set by the master, and it can be regarded as a way to encourage new disciples to practice, and your senior brothers came here like this back then. ”
Yang Qi nodded and said, "I see!" and asked, "Fourth Senior Brother, I don't know anything about mana, what if there is no mana in my body in this life?"
Su Lishi said with a smile: "You can rest assured of this, no one is born with mana, and they all need to be obtained through hard practice." Naturally, you don't know what mana is now, let alone practice mana, but with the fourth senior brother here, you can rest assured. Starting tomorrow, I will start to teach you some common sense of cultivation, as long as you are willing to work diligently, I believe that within half a month, mana will appear in your body. What you have to do tonight is to understand the rules and precepts of your own lineage, and to be clear about all aspects of the pattern. ”
Yang Qi was overjoyed and said, "This is very good. After saying this, he asked again: "Fourth Senior Brother, are you telling me the rules and precepts and aspects of the lineage tonight?"
Su Lishi said with a smile: "Naturally it's me!"
Yang Qi said sincerely: "Then there is Senior Brother Lao!"
"You have called me a senior brother, what else do you want to say?" Su Lishi continued: "I will tell you now about the ten major rules and precepts of the lineage: first, do not harm your fellow disciples, second, do not bully the weak, third, do not plunder, fourth, do not disrespect the elders, fifth, do not betray the master, sixth, do not collude with evil demons, seventh, do not help the abuse, eighth, do not stab the two sides, ninth, do not harm others and benefit yourself, tenth, do not kill people and set fires. The above are the ten precepts, if one of them is committed, the master will personally abolish the cultivation, break off the righteousness, and expel the teacher. Little junior brother, you are new to the city, you need to be very cautious, and you must not be sloppy. ”
Yang Qi nodded solemnly, thinking that these ten precepts were really in line with human nature, and they were extremely benevolent and righteous. Although there was no door rule to admonish, he would not violate it no matter what, so he said: "Senior brother, rest assured, senior brother must strictly follow the door rules and precepts, and never dare to offend in the slightest." ”
"If you can think like this, Senior Brother will be relieved. Su Lishi smiled and continued: "Now I will tell you about the aspect pattern of the lineage. There are four main locations in the main vein, which are divided into east, west, south and north. To the east is a green pine forest, which is always green and tall all year round, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The west is where we are, where we cook and bathe, and where we live. The south position is the Qi Refining Field, which is a treasure place where disciples of the main lineage often practice, and there is a high-grade spirit array there, where you can practice and get twice the result with half the effort, I will take you there tomorrow. The northern position is the Qingyuan Palace, the holy land of our lineage, which is the place where the master cultivates the path of enlightenment, and if the disciple does not have permission, he cannot set foot in half a step, otherwise he will be punished according to the precepts. ”
Yang Qi nodded, thoughtful, and then said: "The west, south, and north are all very useful, and the perennial green pine forest must be unusual, right?"
Su Lishi smiled slightly and said, "What the little junior brother said is very right, that green pine forest is indeed of another wonderful use. The green pine forests are verdant all year round and the scenery is beautiful, so if we get bored from our practice, we can go there to relax and be happy. Of course, that's not the main thing. Originally, it was indeed just a green pine forest, but since our master was in charge of Humble Peak, he used it as a place to punish his disciples who made mistakes. ”
Yang Qi asked curiously, "What kind of punishment method?"
Su Lishi said, "Give you an axe and let you go into the green pine forest and cut down trees." It is said that the lightest punishment is to cut down twenty pine trees, and I have not made a mistake, so I don't know the specifics. ”
Yang Qi said: "Cutting down 20 pine trees is a bit difficult for us ordinary people, but it can also be successfully completed. As for those of you immortals with mana, isn't it easy to dig through your pockets and get things? ”
Su Lishi shook his head and said, "Little junior brother, don't you know how thick those pine trees in the woods are, they are ten times more majestic than the ones outside, and they are all extremely tough, and they are extremely difficult to cut down. Speaking of this, Su Lishi smiled bitterly and said, "If the master really wants to punish, he will temporarily seal the mana, do you still think it is easy now?"
Yang Qi exclaimed: "Ah, can the mana still be sealed?"
A hint of arrogance appeared in Su Lishi's eyes, and he said: "Our master is famous all over the world, and his mana is boundless. Looking at the Great Zhou Dynasty, only the Holy Venerable, the Northern Ming Master, and the Linglong Master could barely suppress him. Sealing mana is unfathomable and incredible, but for his old man, it is just a commonplace, and it is easy to come by. ”
Yang Qi said with a shock: "Shizun is really an amazing character. And said with a smile: "During the day, the master of the North Ming said that the master is lazy by nature, and he just wants to be happy with me, if he is really lazy, how can he have today's achievements!"
