The Bodhisattva's heartfelt Ren Shifa took great care of this student who did not pay tuition, probably thinking that he was a noble son from a poor family, always favoring him in all aspects, and always treating him with a kind look and never losing his temper.

If any student bullied Ren Zifei, Ren Shifa would definitely punish that student heavily, but if Ren Zifei did something wrong, he would just be punished lightly.

However, the hundred-year-old Ren Shifa looked away, Ren Zifei did not become a noble son because of his poor background, although he was diligent and attentive, but he was surprisingly stupid, not only stupid in his brain, but also stupid in his hands and feet, he couldn't memorize the text, and even his literacy was much slower than other students. ”

That was the first time Ren Zifei heard the word "qualification", but Ren Shifa did not change his attitude towards him because of this, and he was still as kind as before.

At that time, Li Yuan and Pu Chaoying had been studying under Ren Shifa for more than two years, and most of the ancient books of the sages were already familiar with them, and they were Mr. Ren's protégés.

Li Yuanyuan said to Ren Zifei: "Mr. is familiar with most of the cultivators in Middle Earth, and he has a preference for you, since you have no father and no mother, it is better to worship Mr. as a grandfather, and in the future, I will recommend the three of my brothers to the master's door, apprentice to the master, and one day board Tongtian Island to go directly to the fairy world, wouldn't it be good?" ”

Ren Zifei, who had suffered from the world's sufferings, had long wanted to enter the path of cultivating immortals, but there was no master who was willing to teach him.

Ren Shi stroked his long beard, muttered for a moment and said: "Anyway, you are just an auditor, and you are not my official student, you can call whatever you want, it will not mess up the generation." ”

Since then, Ren Zifei has called Ren Shifa his grandfather, and added his surname in front of his name, but he doesn't know the word "Ren", and has always used the word "person", and the word "Ren Zifei" is also written on the homework handed in, and Ren Shifa has not corrected it.

Two years ago, several elders on Magpie Mountain came to the Immortal Station, wanting to select some talented young children to practice on the mountain, and the well-known students of Ren Shifa were naturally their first choice.

Ren Shifa recommended five people to them, including Li Renpu's three brothers, but they only took Li Yuan and Pu Chaoying with them.

Ren Zifei stopped in front of everyone and pleaded: "The three of us are sworn brothers, we have always been inseparable, and we swear to live and die together, you can take me away!" ”

A Taoist elder patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Cultivation is not farming, not everyone can do it, you have to talk about the fate of heaven, and you have to look at your qualifications." ”

When Ren Zifei heard the word "qualification" for the second time, he still didn't know what it meant, and later asked Ren Shifa for advice: "Grandpa, what is qualification?" ”

Ren Shifa was writing on the desk, and said without raising his head: "Talent endowment." ”

Ren Zifei asked again: "What is the endowment?" ”

Ren Shifa stopped writing, raised his head and thought for a moment, stretched out the tip of the brush in his hand in front of Ren Zifei, and asked, "What is the brush made of?" ”

Ren Zifei said: "Grandpa, didn't you say it?" It's made of wool. ”

Ren Shifa asked again: "So what else can wool do?" ”

Ren Zifei said while thinking: "I can spin thread, I can make quilts, and I can make felt......"

Ren Shifa pointed to the table, chair and bench in front of him, and said with a smile: "Then can it do this?" ”

He also pointed to the doors and windows, "Can you make doors and windows?" ”

Pointing to the roof again, "Can you build a house?" ”

Ren Zifei suddenly realized, patted his forehead, and said, "Grandpa, I understand, it's not this material!" ”

Ren Shifa was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Yes, yes, that's exactly what it means." ”

Ren Zifei has been entangled in his heart for many years The question was finally answered, but he was completely desperate, it turned out that he was not the material for reading, let alone the material for cultivating immortals, the shopkeeper also said before that he was not the material for running the hall, and the chef said that he was not the material for cooking, so what could he do?

At this time, Ren Zifei, sitting under the big tree, looked up at the dappled sunlight shining in from the forest, and fell into deep thought, but the result of deep thinking is that he is not as good as a pinch of wool, no wonder the shopkeeper said that he, don't think about becoming an immortal, it is a great blessing to be able to become a person, it seems that he can only chop and chop wood in this life.

Thinking of this, sorrow came from it, and a few tears fell from my eyes.

Since Li Yuanyuan and Pu Chaoying left, Ren Zifei didn't even have a playmate, everyone disliked him and didn't want to say a word to him, but Ren Shifa, the only one who was close to him, was busy all day long, either lecturing in the academy, or being hugged by everyone to talk about the general trend of the world, and he had no time to take care of him who was lonely.

A strong sense of loneliness and helplessness wrapped him tightly, squeezing him so much that he almost suffocated, and he muttered to himself, "Big brother, third brother, how are you?" Remember me? ”

※※※※※

The sun has turned west, in the Xianlai Inn, everyone is still talking about the general trend of the world, a few people have left, a few more people have come, Song Yuxin, Hu Gaixie and Ren Shifa have been sitting in place and have not moved, everyone's faces are very heavy, as if they have talked about something bad.

The depressed middle-aged man sitting in the corner of the shop was probably drunk, and fell asleep on the table, one arm hanging limply from the table, and the brass wine gourd fell to the ground, spilling a puddle of yellow and clear wine.

Song Yuxin took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The righteous path and the demon path have been entangled and entangled for thousands of years, each has its own victory and defeat, one eliminates the other's strengths, in the past, the whole is still the right way prevails, although the demon path has the tendency to make waves, but there is no need to be afraid, the righteous path sects only need to send a few disciples with advanced cultivation to exterminate it." ”

After a change of words, he said: "However, time flies, the stars are changing, the devil is becoming more and more rampant, the masters are frequent, but the righteous path is declining day by day, one generation is not as good as the other, and after the hall master of the Temple of Death was born, the demon path slowly gained the upper hand, and the general trend of the world quietly underwent a big reversal. ”

Ren Shifa said: "This hall master of the Temple of Death is the one who is known as the 'Divine Leader'?" ”

Song Yuxin said: "It's him, it is said that this person has been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years, integrating the magic skills of the two factions of good and evil, the profundity of Taoism, and the breadth of cultivation, which is only seen in the world, unprecedented in eternity, and the world is so big, no one is his opponent." ”

At this point, Song Yuxin's face was cold, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Seven years ago, Shenkui traveled thousands of miles alone, and single-handedly challenged the seven major sects of the righteous path, whether it was fighting alone or attacking it in groups, the righteous path had no power to fight back.

"At that time, I was still young, but the scene at that time is still vivid in my mind, the god is hovering in mid-air, and the light and shadow turned into swords, giant trees, icebergs, flames, sand and gravel fall from the sky, and more than half of the disciples in my sect are killed and injured in an instant, and the sound of wailing shakes the mountains and fields.

"The head of the uncle led more than a dozen elders to fight with him, but it had little effect, and the two uncles were poisoned by the gods, and the rest were injured or disabled, and they all collapsed. I didn't personally see the situation of the other six sects, but I heard about it later, and it was probably just as miserable. ”

Saying that, there was a look of sorrow on his face, he swallowed his saliva, looked at the worried Ren Shifa, and said: "It is no exaggeration to say that today, he has been easily played by Shenkui alone, if he leads the six factions of the Demon Dao to attack the seven factions of my righteous path at the same time, the consequences are unimaginable, I dare not say that the righteous faction will be wiped out, but there is absolutely no possibility of victory, and it is difficult to protect himself."

"If I don't destroy my own ambition and grow the enemy's majesty, even the uncle in charge of the family said the same. Although folk legend has it that the seven factions joined forces to repel the Shenkui, in fact, it was only the predecessors of the seven factions to prevent the people from panicking, so they warned the disciples not to make the truth public, and the truth is that the Shenkui was taken care of by himself back then, otherwise my Magpie Gate had been destroyed that year, and now it seems that it will not work if you don't say it. ”

Ren Shifa sighed heavily, stroked his beard and said: "The old man is in a corner of the Immortal Station, although he has often heard about some things from the outside world, but he never expected that the situation in the world has deteriorated to such a point. ”

Song Yuxin said: "Yes, the Immortal Post is located on the coast of the East China Sea, close to the fairy world, after all, the people in the Demon Dao are afraid of three points, and they are afraid of the power of the sky, and they dare not set foot easily."

"My brother and sister traveled thousands of miles to get here, and what they saw and heard along the way was really shocking, the people in the demon road arbitrarily enslaved the people, did not want to be slaves, or left their hometowns to run around, or begged, or stolen, or occupied the mountains as kings and became grass robbers, and even threw themselves into the devil's way, and became enemies of the common people in the world.

"The two of us have traveled all the way, and everywhere you can see the fleeing people who are unclothed and decent, yellow-skinned, and countless people who have starved to death, froze to death, died of disease, and were slaughtered by people in the Demon Dao and were violently corpsed in the wilderness.

Ren Shifa frowned, his eyes narrowed slightly, he sighed incessantly, was silent for a while, and said: "Don't worry too much about the little Taoist, since ancient times, the two factions of good and evil, like the two ends of the scale, always rise and fall, it is really difficult to balance, given time, under the concerted efforts of the people in the righteous path, the overall situation will be reversed." ”

Song Yuxin said: "Mr. Ren, how can I not know the truth of the balance of yin and yang, but today's balance, one end is a projectile, the other end is a boulder, one end of our side has been pried high in the sky, and I can't shake it with all my strength, let alone the balance, the disparity in the strength of the two factions of good and evil is really difficult to balance in a hundred years, unless we produce a peerless master." ”

Ren Shifa nodded and asked, "Do they have a good plan for the Yuyan real people?" ”
