Mo Xiaoxian was originally a person from the time of Emperor Xiong Xuan of Tian'an of the Great Chu State, when he served as Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, he was a middle-aged official with mediocre performance in all previous evaluations, he was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of twenty-four, and he had been an official for almost twenty years.

However, in the rebellion launched by Xiong Hao, the king of Dongshan County, the important ministers loyal to Emperor Tian'an were almost slaughtered, and the remaining rebellious wall grass naturally could not be reused by Emperor Xiong Er, but Mo Xiaoxian and others who were not up to him stood out.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Mo Xiaoxian himself. When Xiong Er returned to Beijing, he was the first to stand up to support Xiong Er among the hundreds of civil and military officials. Plus he was beaten badly enough before because he wanted to stop the rebel army...... There is both merit and hard work, and it is natural to be reused.

Xiong Er is not a bold person, he didn't dare to promote Mo Xiaoxian, who had a shallow foundation, but promoted this loyal and commendable courtier to one and a half levels, and let him act as the head of the Ministry of Industry - this is because the previous Ministry of Industry Shangshu is not dead, and he is cheeky and does not tell the old, in view of the fact that there are too few old ministers in the court, Xiong Er has to tolerate it.

Mo Xiaoxian has been sitting in the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Industry for eight years, and he has been conscientious and has done a lot of things that benefit the country and the people. However, after all, his ability was limited, and he had a very difficult time in the court, and finally because of a large project material arrangement, he completely turned his face with several local real power county guards, and under the obstruction of those people, the project did not go smoothly, and even a major accident occurred.

Mo Xiaoxian, who had long been tired of his official career, was finally completely disappointed, and resigned despite the retention of Lin Lushan, the head of the Qingliu household, and since then he has been in the mountains and forests.

Counting the time, it was nearly fifty years ago. Wu Xie thought that this old man with a lewd face had already passed away, but he didn't expect that Mo Xiaoxian had an adventure after hanging up his crown and retreating, and he had a successful cultivation with a body that was over fifty years old, and stepped into the innate realm.

As soon as you enter the congenital, your longevity will skyrocket, and your body will return to the appearance of your youth. So Mo Xiaoxian, who was originally dying, suddenly had a second spring, and begged for four concubines before and after, the eldest of which was younger than his son.

This seems a bit surprising to say, but if you think about it carefully, for more than 40 years, it is actually nothing to ask for four concubines before and after. The monks are extremely energetic, their lifespans are far longer than those of mortals, and there are hundreds of wives and concubines in the family, so Mo Xiaoxian's approach is not strange.

That is, he is a halfway monk, which will have this situation. People like Wu Xie who have cultivated since childhood, their daily spirit is focused on cultivation, and they almost have no leisure time to contaminate women. Among the brothers, even An Ziqing, who has been married to the Qiu family since he was a child, has not yet married.

For Wu Jie's greeting, Mo Xiaoxian was a little flattered. Qingyang Guan Zhi is not a real person but a famous master in the world, and he is the youngest Ning Yuan Grandmaster in hundreds of years, even in the court of the Great Chu State, Ji Shihou's two Kuangfu efforts are enough to make people awe-inspired. In contrast, the official is no more than a squire, and the cultivation is not a congenital Mo Xiaoxian, who is really too inconspicuous little person.

So after a while, he sent the housekeeper to take his group of daughters, granddaughters, great-granddaughters, and great-granddaughters to visit the Baiyu Tower, and he borrowed a Baiyulou for guests, and talked with Wu Xie in detail—or rather, to ask for advice.

"Your exercises should be based on the way of condensing vitality in our Daomen, but the technique of cultivating the mind is to use the Buddha's deterrence of thoughts. These two approaches do not contradict each other, but they do not complement each other. That's why when you're cultivating, you'll find that although your true qi is getting stronger and stronger, your control over your true qi is declining—this is because you lack the means to use your true qi in Buddhism. Wu Xie first looked through the exercise records copied by Mo Xiaoxian, checked his physical condition, and quickly came up with the result.

This result was not unexpected by Mo Xiaoxian, when he got this set of exercises, the scattered cultivator who was about to run out of Shou Yuan once said that his own vein lacked a foundation, and the exercises he practiced were only pieced together, although he could break through the innate pass, and even it was not difficult to refine his true qi, but if he wanted to go further, the risk of going mad was too great - among the ancestors of this vein in the past dynasties, more than half of them were forced to rush through the level and die.

Mo Xiaoxian has practiced this set of exercises by himself for many years, and now he is about to reach the realm of hundred refinements, and he feels more and more that what his master said back then is not false, and his own exercises are indeed very problematic.

He had the heart to find a better way to do it, and he also got a copy of the exercises from a kind little sect monk from the East China Sea. However, how can it be so easy to change the exercises! Whenever he wanted to change the exercises on that immortal mountain, he felt that the true qi in his body was spreading unrestrained, and he was about to go off and die immediately!

He tried several times, but nothing came of it except for internal injuries. I had no choice but to die and honestly follow the method taught by the master, and use that superb exercise to improve my own exercises.

Mo Xiaoxian was not a genius, and the process of perfection was quite slow, even slowing down his own cultivation progress. But he had no other way but to rub it slowly.

He is now about 100 years old, and he still has about 50 years of longevity, and he must perfect the 100 refining stage of the exercises in these 50 years, otherwise he will either die at the end of his life, or he will go mad and die after breaking through to the realm of 100 refinements.

Fifty years may seem like a long time at first glance, but it's actually not that long. The set of exercises that Mo Xiaoxian is currently cultivating has gone through six generations of monks before and after, and it took almost four hundred years to perfect it to this point. With his talent, it is not easy to further improve in 50 years!

That's why he was so happy when he met Wu Xie by chance this time.

Wu Xie is a well-known master in the world, not only outstanding Taoism and amazing combat power, but also famous for his uprightness, reasonableness, and like to promote the future. He has lived in seclusion in Zhaoyang County for many years, and many junior monks and even martial artists have received his guidance. In the eyes of the middle- and lower-class monks who were more decent in themselves, he was not so much a first-class strong man as a kind elder. And Zhifeizhai, where he lived, has also become a holy place in the hearts of many low-level monks.

It's a pity that after Mo Xiaoxian obtained the Immortal Mountain Exercises, Wu Xie was already busy with the matter of picking stars in the Nine Heavens to save the common people, and completely entered a state of retreat. After winning the Ganlin Puji world, he returned to Qingyang Mountain and hit the Ning Yuan realm—maybe this time, he would never return to Zhaoyang County......

Mo Xiaoxian didn't have the opportunity to ask Zhifei Zhenren for advice, but he didn't expect to meet him in the White Jade Tower of Changning City, and he was overjoyed.

Wu Xie did not disappoint him either, and after careful consideration, he started anew, and asked him to abandon the method of intimidating all thoughts that was inconsistent with his own exercises, and replaced it with the method of keeping the precepts and self-discipline.

"Is that okay?" Mo Xiaoxian didn't expect the method given by Wu Xie to be this, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised-the method of keeping the precepts and self-discipline can be said to be the most popular among the various methods of cultivating the mind, and almost everyone understands it. However, this method is also the slowest to produce results, and it is the least likely to produce results, and almost no one can use this method to produce results except for the ascetics of Buddhism.

"Keeping the precepts and self-discipline is the safest means, so for the time being." Wu explained, "During this year, you will first suspend the cultivation of the exercises and concentrate on keeping the precepts. A year later, we will open the mountain gate in Qingyang Mountain, although you may not be able to pass the entrance examination, but you can still come - if you can pass the first few levels of the assessment, you can naturally get a solution to the problem completely. ”

"Xiaguan...... Juniors get it! Thank you for your advice! Mo Xiaoxian was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down.

He has been up and down in officialdom for many years, although he has no ambition, but he has seen a lot after all. At this moment, I can't see that Wu Xie has the heart to mention it! Therefore, this worship is indeed sincere, and there is no falsehood.

Wu Xie did not avoid it, and calmly accepted his worship.

Whether it is the official position in the Great Chu State or the status among the monks, he deserves to worship Mo Xiaoxian. As for the age gap...... What the monks value is the time to cultivate, the time to reach a higher state, not the age of the mundane.

When Wu Xie entered the Tao, Mo Xiaoxian was still a mortal; When Mo Xiaoxian stepped into the path and began to cultivate, Wu Xie was already a well-known rising star; When Mo Xiaoxian broke through the innate realm and officially became a monk, Wu Xie was already a refining Gang Flying Immortal, and he was a real person who knew not to be a real person; And now Mo Xiaoxian is just a very common innate peak in the circle of monks, but Wu Xie is already a Ning Yuan Grandmaster who has reached the end of the world......

To put it mildly, if it weren't for a coincidence, this old Master of Gongbu Mo wouldn't even have the qualifications to meet a real person in person in the world of immortal cultivators!

After pointing out Mo Xiaoxian, Wu Xie suddenly moved in his heart, smiled at him, left a piece of bamboo talisman as a certificate, and his figure disappeared into Yazhu, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the side of the dry tree located on the edge of the palace of the Great Chu Kingdom.

Under the big tree, a young man with a delicate face and a weak expression was concentrating on reading.

This young man is richly dressed, and some of the ornaments on his body can only be used by the royal family, and considering his age and behavior, it is about the time when the emperor wanted to ask Wu Xie to help pick up the three princes of the Great Chu State who were introduced into the Xianmen, Xiong Jiong.

In Wu Jie's impression, Xiong Jiong is an introverted child, showing an excessive maturity and isolation compared to ordinary children. But this child is not bad in nature, he treats the subordinates in the palace quite politely and kindly, and he has no special pursuit of material aspects. If you have a heart for the Tao, it is indeed a good seedling that can be cultivated.

In the blink of an eye, nine years have passed. Nine years later, Xiong Jiong has changed from a child to a teenager. But from the fact that he is studying in this gloomy place as a prince, and there is no one around him or a caretaker nearby, it can be seen that he is still an introverted and withdrawn person, and his status in the palace is not high.

Perhaps, as the emperor said back then, this kid is not suitable for the royal family, and it is more suitable for him to go to cultivate immortals.

Wu Xie nodded and walked in front of Xiong Jiong.

Xiong Jiong was concentrating on reading, when he suddenly heard footsteps in front of him, looked up, was stunned at first, and then put down the book and bowed respectfully.

"Junior Xiong Jiong, meet the real person!"

"Don't be so polite." Wu Xie smiled, asked him to stand up and answer, his eyes swept over the book next to him, and saw that it was a book that introduced the customs and customs of various places, and he suddenly had some conjecture in his heart.

"Do you want to see all over the world?"

"Yes, the younger generation has always wanted to go all over the land of Kyushu and see all kinds of customs and customs."

"Even if you cultivate immortals now, you may not be able to cultivate to the realm of traveling to the North Sea and staying in the South Mountain."

"The requirements of the younger generation are not so high, as long as they can have the ability to travel to and from various places, not to be blocked by mountains and rivers, and not to be troubled by the foot supply, it is enough."

Wu Xie looked at Xiong Jiong's frank but sincere eyes and smiled.

"Next spring, come to Qingniu Town, Dayue Kingdom."

"Thank you, senior!" Xiong Jiong waited for many years, and finally waited for a clear answer, his heart was suddenly full of joy, and he hurriedly bowed down again, but only saw a flash of the figure, and knew that the real person had disappeared, only a green bamboo talisman on the ground, reflecting a warm light in the late autumn sun.

Similar situations are happening in many places in Kyushu.

After years of observation and testing, the twenty-seven generations of disciples of Qingyang Guan have each chosen the destined person they like, and they are granting them the opportunity to lead to the immortal road.

As for whether they can really embark on the path of cultivating immortals in the future, and how far they can go on this road in the end, it depends on themselves......
