Chapter 5 Miscellaneous Labor
"Elders, do you have any good suggestions?"
In the main hall of the Fengtian Sect, Li Dong, whose face had recovered a little ruddy, landed on the main seat, his eyes swept and asked.
The old man believes that for this son's obsession, the first thing to do is to figure out what he never forgets. In this way, we can prescribe the right medicine and cure it once and for all. ”
Elder Wang's words are good, but he is afraid that deliberately asking will be self-defeating, so that this son's obsession will be more deeply rooted! It's a pity that I don't have that much time to wait slowly. ”
"There's no need to ask, as long as the sect master casts the kind of secret technique that Fang Cai has again. ”
"This ......"
This seems to work. ”
"No!" Li Dong didn't think about the elders' proposal, and immediately denied it, "This kind of secret technique is too great to be used lightly. What's more, this technique has an uncertain effect on both the practitioner and the recipient. I don't want this unknown thing to affect Su Xuan's future cultivation path. ”
"How is that a good ......?"
The elders looked at each other and shook their heads, unable to think of a better solution for a while.
"I don't know if the elders remember. ”
Li Dong smiled slightly, as if he was confident.
"When I was taken up the mountain, the qualifications I tested were only blue, not the best. However, I was able to start from the outer door, step by step, enter the inner door, enter the core, and finally be favored by the old man Shizun, so that I can have my current strength and status. ”
"Indeed, the deeds of the sect master back then were too inspirational, and they have been regarded as legends, which have been passed down among the disciples of the sect, and have always inspired them to work hard and work hard. ”
Li Dong stood up and continued: "However, have you ever thought about how I, who was not too outstanding in qualifications, defeated strong enemies step by step and finally succeeded?"
The elders pricked up their ears and listened. This question has been bothering them for many years, and now, the person concerned is finally going to reveal the secret himself!
"Actually, it's nothing special, it's not as others think, I don't have a special bloodline inheritance, and I haven't taken any genius treasures. Personally, I think that the reason why I have been able to achieve what I am now is entirely due to the life of miscellaneous servants in the outer gate in the first few years!"
"Miscellaneous servants?!"
All kinds of possibilities were conceived, but no one quite got the ultimate secret that it turned out to be this, and it even seemed a little ridiculous. The elders were puzzled as they awaited his explanation.
"Yes, it was the life of a handyman that year. ”
Li Dong recalled, speaking in a quiet tone.
"Chopping wood every day, jumping and carrying water every day. Sunrise and sunset, although this kind of life can be very hard at times, it is better than living and fulfilling without regrets. When the weather is fine, I will smile when I look at the butterfly fluttering in my body; When it rains, I listen to the sound of the rain hitting the plantains. This kind of life lasted for a whole year, and during this period of time, I also forgot about the sect, forgot about cultivation, and completely immersed myself in the natural landscape. ”
"Later, after the master took me in, I told him about it. Shizun looked at me in amazement and said that I had good luck, no wonder the talent was not particularly outstanding, but I could have such achievements. ”
Elder Wang couldn't wait to ask, "What is the meaning of the old sect master's words?"
Li Dong recalled carefully, with a look of remembrance on his face: "Shizun said at the time that my one-year leisurely years as a handyman were enough to top the ten years of hard cultivation of others. Because during this year, I didn't seem to have done any cultivation, but in fact, when I appreciated the scenery of natural landscapes, it was already a kind of epiphany. This state of epiphany is a kind of cultivation of one's own heart. Generally speaking, when we are mindfulness practitioners, we all start with self-cultivation or Dharma cultivation. Cultivating the mind is something that can only be comprehended after reaching the realm of the Master, but at the beginning of my cultivation, I took great luck and inexplicably took this step, which is also the fundamental reason why I was able to make a splash later. ”
Seeing the eager eyes of the elders, Li Dong shook his head and said regretfully: "It's a pity that such a thing as cultivating the mind can only be understood but not spoken. Even now, I can't tell you why, but I think it's a personal creation. If not, if I teach this method to you, it will be more than enough for my Fengtian Sect to return to its peak. ”
"I have received the kindness of the sect master. ”
Several elders stood up one after another and bowed their hands in return.
Elder Wang asked, "What does the sect master mean by wanting Su Xuan to replicate this kind of behavior?"
"That's right!" Li Dong said with burning eyes, "With Su Xuan's perfect qualifications, if he can comprehend the method of cultivating the mind again, then he can definitely crown the younger generation in Dongzhou." Taking a step back, even if he regrets not comprehending this method, the beauty of nature can also cultivate sentiment and cleanse the dust of his heart, which is also of great benefit to resolving his inner obsession. ”
The elders glanced at each other, and finally nodded in agreement, "Obey the sect master's order!"
Li Dong walked out of the main hall with his hands behind his back, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and said in a quiet tone.
"Su Xuan, don't let me down!"
Move your mouth on the top and break your leg on the bottom.
At this moment, Deacon Du stood outside the hut with apprehension after completing the elders' instructions with great difficulty.
He thought that with the importance of the sect master, Su Xuan at least had the qualifications to directly enter the inner gate. Unexpectedly, the decision finally ordered by the above turned out to be to let him be a small handyman at the outer gate. What's even more embarrassing is that Deacon Du had already boasted to the two of them at noon, which made him face them with what kind of expression he should face later.
It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.
Deacon Du muttered resentfully, if it weren't for that bottle of Fengtian Pill, he would even be in the mood to jump off the cliff at this moment.
Pushing the door into the house, Su Xuan was sitting on the bed in a daze. Xiang Yang had already been taken away by an elder of the inner gate earlier.
"Deacon Du, I ......"
Su Xuan opened his mouth a little anxiously, Xiang Yang was taken away, but he himself was left behind, which made him have a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.
"Su Xuan, your situation is quite special. Deacon Du carefully organized the language, "Your qualifications are naturally excellent, and the elders are also very optimistic. So, in order to train you in an all-round way, they decided to let you do a period of miscellaneous labor in the outer gate first. You must know that the current sect master of my Heavenly Heaven Sect started from here back then and gradually moved towards glory. You can see how much hope the elders have for your future!"
"Doing handymen at the outer gate?" Su Xuan lowered his head, his little face was full of depression, "Can't you enter the inner door, can't you be with Xiang Yang?"
"Oh, don't be discouraged, my little ancestor!"
The elder had clearly said to Deacon Du that Su Xuan must be kept in a comfortable mood at all times, and there must be no negative emotions.
Therefore, at this moment, Deacon Du suddenly became one head and two big.
"The sect is preparing to train you as a successor, what else are you unhappy about!"
Deacon Du roared angrily: "You are so young now, and it is too early for your children to grow up. Since we have this great luck, and others can't envy it, don't you still seize the opportunity to cultivate hard? After all, this is a world where strength is respected, and as long as you have strength, you can't do anything? As a man, don't you want to experience the feeling of turning your hands into clouds and turning your hands into rain?"
"Turn your hands into clouds and turn your hands into rain?"
Deacon Du's words made Su Xuan's eyes suddenly appear in front of the man's eyes, and his mind began to stir and ache again.
Gritting his teeth and trying hard to bear the pain of piercing his heart, Su Xuan reflected: "Deacon Du is right, I am too confused. Now that I have come to the Fengtian Sect, no matter where I am in the inner and outer gates, as long as I work hard to cultivate, I will have the opportunity to change my fate! But if this kind of thing is heard by others, they will think that I am crazy and incompetent. ”
"Okay, as long as you figure it out yourself, you can say anything. ”
Deacon Du, who knew the truth, almost burst into tears.
"Later, you will have two more people here, and they will also be miscellaneous servants, the three of you will be partners in the future, remember to get along well!
After speaking, without giving Su Xuan a chance to answer, Deacon Du ran away in a hurry like burning his buttocks.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before two of their peers, one fat and one skinny, entered the room. After a brief introduction, Su Xuan only learned that among them, the tall and thin one was called Zhang Can, and the short and fat one was called Tao Liu Bin, and the others didn't know anything.
Perhaps it was the reason for the first arrival, the three young men were still a little wary and shy about the unfamiliar environment here, and the strange partners were still a little shy, and the first day they got along passed so plainly.
