Chapter 4 Where there are people, there is strife

Three young men in blue-gray robes walked side by side on the forest path, the first of them had a few faint freckles on his nose, and his eyebrows fluttered to tell the other two some news he had just received, as a way to show that he was well-informed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Have you heard? Uncle Shang of the Seven Star Academy, he brought back a woman yesterday, and he wants to make an exception and directly enter the Heavenly Master's Mansion! Guess what's so special about that woman?"

The two people on the side didn't know why, and one of the short Taoist priests obviously didn't grasp the point of his words, and asked, "Uncle Shang... Who is it?"

The man at the head hated the iron and said with hatred: "What I haven't seen, even Uncle Shang doesn't know, no wonder I'm still a first-level disciple!"

The two looked at him with contempt in their eyes, thinking to themselves, aren't you like us if you're so powerful?

The man didn't notice it at all, shook his head and said: "Of course, it is Shang Tianhe, who is known as the first genius of the Seven Star Academy in a hundred years, ranked third on the demon hunting list, and nicknamed 'Dao Left Meet, Kill All with One Sword', Uncle Shang!"

At this time, the two reacted and sighed in unison: "It turned out to be him!"

The first Taoist priest was annoyed: "Did you two hear my question clearly? I'm asking you what is so special about that woman!"

The two made a longing statement: "I don't know, you say." ”

The head Taoist priest nodded with satisfaction and sighed: "Have you heard of the Heavenly Spirit Root? Forget it, you don't understand it even if I ask! Let me tell you, this is a secret that I know only a disciple of the Consular Hall, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense everywhere." Yesterday, Uncle Shang came back with the woman, and as soon as he said that it was the Heavenly Spirit Root, the Heavenly Master's Mansion was full of surprise!"

"A group of bigwigs can be said to have torn their faces and snatched their heads for her! In the end, the head of the Heavenly Master's Mansion of the previous generation came forward and personally took her under his door! That is a thrilling and appalling thing! The Heavenly Master's Mansion is in an uproar, and everyone in the monastery knows it!"

The other two were a little dazed, and said in their hearts, don't you say it's a secret, everyone knows it's also a secret?

"Do you know what the Heavenly Spirit Root is? It is known as the strongest talent in the cultivation world! It is faster than us in cultivation, I don't know how many times, it is very powerful, it's not that I brag..."

The three of them drifted apart, and the exaggerated and sometimes gasping voices slowly drifted away.

...

...

In the quiet room, where there was no furniture except for a wooden bed, Fang Xiaozhou was lying in large characters, staring at the ceiling with a dull gaze, and he didn't come back to his senses in his heart.

Yesterday, when the old man Ye also woke up, Shang Tianhe immediately explained his original intention to him, the old man heard that his granddaughter had the opportunity to be accepted as an apprentice by the immortal master, and he was happy for her and a little reluctant, and finally everyone said goodbye, Ye Yun'er cried and said that she would go to see him often.

After entering the city, Shang Tianhe threw Fang Xiaozhou to the consular hall, and casually ordered that he was his registered disciple, so he didn't care about him anymore, and left with Ye Yun'er in a hurry.

"What is the Heavenly Spirit Root? It sounds very powerful, so what kind of Spirit Root am I? Alas, they are all exceptions to accept disciples, why is the gap between people and people so big?"

Fang Xiaozhou thought about it and thought about some Gu Ying's self-pity, and suddenly someone outside the door called out to him: "Senior Brother Fang, there will be a lecture in the square in a while, do you want to go with me? Today, the vice president personally opened the altar to teach, which is a rare opportunity for new students." ”

Fang Xiaozhou hurriedly answered, opened the door and greeted the Taoist priest outside the door, and asked, "Hello Senior Brother Wu, will we go now?"

This Taoist priest is called Wu Qiuming, who lives next door to him, and he accompanied Fang Xiaozhou to collect the hospital clothes.

Wu Qiuming's face was round, his face was very white, but it seemed that there was a knotted taste at the corners of his eyebrows, he was a little unaccustomed to Fang Xiaozhou's way of speaking, and scratched his head and responded: "Yes, are you okay now?" ”

Fang Xiaozhou was just idle, he said that he had already started, but except for the identity of a master and a disciple of the monastery, there was no difference from before, the air energy absorbed the aura, but he didn't even know how to practice. So he changed into a blue-gray robe and walked to the dojo with Wu Qiuming.

According to Wu Qiuming, the foundation of these introductions is to consult the classics and study them by himself, and there will be lectures every half month, which is the most important for a newcomer like him.

As for Shang Tianhe, he was a shopkeeper in peace, although this master looked a little irresponsible, but Fang Xiaozhou was already very satisfied, he was nothing the day before, and today he became a disciple of the monastery.

The only regret is that he went to the library to borrow a book last night and was told that he must have a contribution point, so he didn't know what it was, so he could only honestly take two free and open books, "The Five Realms of Cultivation" and "Monastery Rules and Introduction", which introduce the common sense of cultivation, and read it overnight.

The two walked in the bustling corridor one after the other, Wu Qiuming pinched a red fruit in his left hand and nibbled on a small bite from time to time, and his right hand rolled up a book of "The First Solution of the Fu Dao", and secretly glanced at some places when he thought of them, some like students before the exam.

Fang Xiaozhou was not as leisurely as him, holding the only two books in his arms, reminiscing about what he had gained last night.

There are four monasteries in Yuzhou, and the place where he is now is called the Seven Star Courtyard. The four monasteries are all under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and there is a big competition between the four academies at the end of every year, but those are far away from him, and he is thinking about the cultivation realm now, although this matter seems to be even more distant.

According to the book, there is a thing called aura in this world, and after the monk opens the spirit, he can exhale the aura, and through the cultivation of the exercises, he can generate spiritual power to wash the limbs and hundreds of bones in the body, which is the entry realm, called "practicing qi and forging the body".

For example, Fang Xiaozhou is like this now, it belongs to after the enlightenment and before the cultivation of qi.

The period of practicing qi and forging the body is not very long, because it is a process of polishing one's own physique, at least one or two months, and more than four or five months, so it is also called a hundred days to build a foundation.

Of course, this is not a long time, and for many monks, it is likely to be a lifetime affair.

When the qi training is complete, there is a chance to impact the second realm, called the Condensing Mixed Yuan, it is said that the probability is very low, and after success, you will become a monk of the Condensing Yuan period.

That book is not thick, Fang Xiaozhou didn't take much time to finish it, and most of the space was on the introduction of the first two realms. As for the Ning Yuan period, there is not much written in the book, but a rough introduction is made to this realm, which is the process of turning the void into a pill, what is the pill period. From the perspective of cultivation, it is to first form a void pill, and then a true pill. As for what is Void Transformation and what is Yudan, it is not mentioned at all.

It is said that it is the cultivation of the five realms, of course, you have to make up five to be worthy of the name. The last two realms are even more sketchy, so rough that they end with just the title, and those who have broken through the cultivation of the knot are called out-of-body real people, and above the real people is the Dao Zun, which is said to be a law heaven and earth, just a few words in a flash.

I don't know how many turns he made, Wu Qiuming suddenly stopped, Fang Xiaozhou ran into him coldly, he didn't move, pointed ahead, turned his head and looked at Fang Xiaozhou seriously and said, "Senior brother, we have arrived." ”

Fang Xiaozhou looked in the direction of his finger and found that he had arrived at an empty field, about the size of an acre of land, and there was a high white wall on the side, on which were written four big characters: One heart to the road.

"Well said, from today onwards, study hard and make progress every day!" Fang Xiaozhou added silently.

Under the wall is a wide stone platform half a meter high and ten meters long, on which sits a gray-haired old man; in front of the platform is a small round stone altar neatly covered with futon, and many people are already sitting densely, and Fang Xiaozhou estimates that there are four or five hundred people.

As soon as the two of them arrived, they felt that the old man on the stage vaguely glanced at this side, Wu Qiuming hurriedly pulled Fang Xiaozhou to find two positions in the back, and as soon as he sat down, he heard three bells ringing from behind the wall, and the lecture was about to begin.
