The two children who had already arrived would not have thought of it so much, because the scenery in front of them was so beautiful.

Although Xiao Beichen has always lived at the foot of Sun Moon Mountain, he rarely has the opportunity to come to this extremely high even valley.

It is the hour of the hour, and the sun in the sky is great, but it is not hot. Because the wind blows very comfortably, the breath of the sesame grass on the edge of the ya is refreshing.

"Thank you......" The boy's face actually showed a smile.

"No thanks. Xiao Beichen said with a smile, "In the future, everyone will be the same disciple." My name is Beichen, what about you?"

"My name is Churi. I'm your brother. ”

"Senior brother, are you a student who came to the academy last year?"

"I'm like you, I grew up here when I was a kid, but I learned swordsmanship with a master a few years ago. I came back here last year to study basic Taoism, so Master is half of my master. ”

"Oh...... I see. Xiao Beichen nodded.

Originally, he was a little puzzled, since he was a student of last year, why did he take such a test together this year? But I heard from Master that this academy usually recruits students every few years, because only when a group of students who have grown up is sent away, will another batch of new students be ushered in.

"Are you a student who was admitted by Master and Son?" Xiao Beichen asked curiously.

"How do you know?"

"I heard from Master that this academy only accepts children as young as eight or nine years old every five years, and will not accept students during this period. ”

"Hmm. I was the youngest student in the last class and studied with them for a year. Chu Li replied calmly with no expression on his face.

When Xiao Beichen heard this, he became even more determined in his guess. This senior brother must be very good, so he can make the legendary old-fashioned master make an exception to let him join the class last year, and then appear as a special identity this year.

"Senior brother, you must be very good. ”

"You must be very special to ......" Qiu Li stopped talking, and there was a trace of inexplicable complicated emotions on his dark face.

"What?" Xiao Beichen was a little puzzled. I was inspired to tell the truth, but Senior Brother Qiu Li's words didn't sound like a polite response.

"It's going to come here. Qiu Li sneered and said.

Xiao Beichen stuck out his tongue and didn't say anything. Because he knew that he didn't have any special talent at all to be favored by the master, if it wasn't for the master's friendship with the master, how could he have the opportunity to come here?

If Master hadn't told others not to tell others why he was able to go to school, he would have said everything.

The conversation between the two ended with Xiao Beichen's sudden silence, and began with his inexplicable appreciation.

He looked at Qiu Li's face that had always been very serious, so he smiled and said, "Actually, it's good when you laugh, but when you don't speak, it's like two people." Senior Brother Qiu Li, you should smile more. ”

"Thank you. The boy bowed his head and said quietly. This is the first time someone has said this about him, and he is a little embarrassed and even at a loss.

Chuli was a little older in today's group of children, and unlike these children who were sent up the mountain to study, he came up to read on his own. Many years ago, he was also a child under the mountain, but later he was fortunate enough to come into contact with martial arts and swordsmanship, so he was determined to go to the top of the avenue.

He's not a difficult monster, it's just that when he doesn't speak, his three-dimensional facial features give people an unapproachable feeling against the dark skin. This is also why Xiao Beichen actually felt that he was a little strange when he saw him for the first time.

......

......

"If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have made it that far. Your exercises are really powerful, have you already started cultivating?" asked Xiao Beichen.

"Well, I'm ten years old this year, and if I work harder, I guess I can reach the first enlightenment realm," Qiu Li replied, a look of pride on his face.

Building a foundation means that people begin to have the qualifications for cultivation, and initial enlightenment means that people begin to learn to use the power of heaven and earth.

To build a foundation is to build a lotus seed, and it is also a process of enhancing spiritual power and courage. With the help of heaven and earth aura to irrigate the element of the dantian, the innate qi and the acquired qi are integrated to form the lotus seed, and then go through a period of baptism to stimulate the lotus seed to develop into a spiritual lotus.

And the first realm of enlightenment is the first realm in which a person enters the Great Dao, and at this time, the spiritual lotus has developed relatively completely, and the five senses of the person will increase several times. Although it is not a high realm, it is equivalent to a ten-year-old boy with extremely strong defensive power.

Qiu Li began to build the foundation at the age of five, and is now about to reach the realm of initial enlightenment. He left here a few years ago and later returned to the academy, nominally to study Taoism with his master, but in reality he also helped manage the academy in addition to studying.

"That's good. Xiao Beichen said lightly. A sentence is really good, hiding infinite envy and admiration, as well as a trace of helplessness and unwillingness.

Any cultivation realm is beyond the reach of Xiao Beichen, because he can't even build a foundation.

The foundation that practitioners say requires a good physical foundation, and then awakens the consciousness of the gods through meditation, and through the perception of the gods, they attract the aura of heaven and earth, irrigate the vitality condensed in the dantian, and build the lotus seeds, until the lotus seeds initially develop into a small lotus-shaped spiritual lotus.

There are many kinds of lotus attributes, and there are countless cultivation methods recorded in the Taoist collection, and various cultivation systems have condensed the experience and lessons of countless predecessors, and gradually tend to be perfected.

It stands to reason that the risks on the path of cultivation are gradually decreasing.

But despite this, for Xiao Beichen, the door to the monastic path is always closed. As Mr. Qiu Shan once said to him, "There are many Dharma gates in heaven and earth, but none of them seem to be open for you." ”

In fact, every door had a key, but he wasn't even qualified to pick it up. Because he doesn't even have a good physical foundation, which is the first condition for building a foundation, it means that no matter which door he chooses, he will die on the threshold.

It is precisely because of this that it has nothing to do with him whether the world behind the door is in crisis or calm, wonderful or boring.

This feeling of watching the people around you step into their own method step by step, but they can't even get the key, is naturally like a person drinking water, knowing their own warmth and coldness.

"What are you doing?" said Chu Li softly.

Xiao Beichen came back to his senses and said with a smile, "It's nothing." ”

Then, a familiar and deep voice suddenly appeared, caught off guard, "Congratulations on being the first to reach Lian Gu Ya and escape from punishment." It was the voice of Master Ming, but there was no trace of it. Hearing his voice first and then seeing his person, it is really the legendary Ming Fuzi style.

"Which of you is the first?" This question and answer is simple and direct, and it is indeed the style of Master Ming.

The two children looked at each other and asked, "We all are." ”

"First, there will only be one. ”

Qiu Li and Master have been together for a long time, and naturally know that there will always be only one first in Master Ming's world.

However, it's really hard to say who arrived first. Because if Chu Li came alone, he would naturally be the first. Even if he chooses to go directly through the woods without taking this secret passage, Qiu Li is likely to be the first, after all, his strength is relatively high among many people.

It's just that he just took this secret passage, and this secret passage was told to Qiu Li by Xiao Beichen.

And these two people came here at the same time.

Xiao Beichen was thinking about whether to give up the first position to Qiu Li, after all, he didn't care, and he didn't want to have too much intersection with this serious master. And in terms of strength, saying that Senior Brother Qiu Li is the first, everyone should be convinced.

But before Xiao Beichen could think of a reason, Qiu Li pointed at him and said, "He is the first." ”

Xiao Beichen's eyes widened, and he looked at him, and his heart was a little mixed.

There was no immediate response in the air, but silence. But then, neat and slow footsteps appeared behind them, and the two children looked back and saw that it was Master Ming.

The master was slowly walking over from afar, with a very kind smile on his face, "Xiao Beichen, come here." ”

"Oh......" Xiao Beichen looked at Qiu Li, although he had a hundred whys in his heart, but he hadn't asked anything, so he followed the master and left under Qiu Li's urging.

What is the private tradition that the Master is talking about? What kind of secret book of monasticism is it?
