Chapter 9: The Palace of Learning
"What is the Xiang Dao Palace?" asked Su Luo.
"We study the three main peaks of Taoism every day, and the methods of cultivation are different, and the masters teach their disciples differently. For example, we have Sunset Peak, which is an evening class. However, not all of the people who were selected to join the Heavenly Day Daoist School had the opportunity to worship under a master. As for bowing under the main seat of the university, it is even less. ”
Senior Brother Chihuang talked eloquently and explained to him: "For example, our master Venerable Astigmatism is the head of the three university masters of Sunset Peak, originally there were only six disciples, and now you are the seventh. Below the university master, there are sixteen scholars in Sunset Peak, but after all, manpower is sometimes poor, one master is about twenty or thirty disciples, and the number of other introductory disciples is too much, so they all live in the Xiangdao Palace of Sunset Peak. ”
Su Luo had a brilliant mind and quickly understood.
Tianri Taoism dominates the four major kingdoms, with a population of hundreds of millions, and people with cultivation talent are rare, but they will not be a minority. However, the further you go in your cultivation, the more thorny it becomes, and I don't know how many people find it difficult to attain the soul and become a full-fledged disciple for the rest of their lives.
This kind of disciple is in the palace of Taoist learning, and he can still listen to the teachings of the master and practice all kinds of methods of Taoism, but he is not the real disciple of the master.
This kind of person generally has two directions, the first is to study in Tianri Taoism until his death, and the second is to leave Tianri Taoism and go to the four major kingdoms, and he can immediately become a human being, with an extraordinary status, and it is not difficult to establish a wealthy family.
However, even if they know that the road ahead is difficult, most people will still choose the first path, because as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, they are not willing to give up.
The path of practice. The higher you go, the more endless temptations you have, and it is difficult for the practitioner to extricate himself. Cultivation itself is the driving force for practitioners to constantly overcome obstacles and go against the sky.
Comparatively speaking, the number of servants of Tianri Daoxue is even larger, and the chance of being promoted and becoming an introductory disciple is even smaller, but there are many servants who are willing to leave Tianri Daoxue after a certain number of years and return to the four major kingdoms, all of whom are masters of Tianri Daoist martial arts, and they can also have a good future.
"According to my estimate, Shizun has another month's work, and it should be out of the customs. When the time comes, I will contact a few junior brothers and sisters, bring Xiuxiu with me, and ask him to accept you as the seventh disciple. ”
Luo Xiuxiu also nodded again and again, and said: "Although Shizun is a little ugly and sullen and unliked, but he is the head of our University Master of Sunset Peak, this time out of the customs, it should be more powerful, you can worship under the Shizun seat, it is also lucky." ”
Although she said this, Su Luo looked at her demeanor and felt that it was not her luck, but her happy event, because she was finally no longer at the bottom.
Chihuang also said: "Yes, Shizun is out of the customs this time, maybe there is a chance to compete for the position of our Tianri Daoist Deputy Venerable." ”
Su Luo was also shocked when he heard this.
The master of Tianri Taoism is the master of the Dao on the Tianri Peak, and he is in charge of the Dao system of the Tianri Dao, however, the master of the Dao is a big man, and he is not seen in the public, but there have always been several deputy scholars who have come forward to manage the complicated affairs of the Tianri Dao.
The deputy scholar must be a profound master, otherwise he will not be able to suppress the many university masters of the three main peaks.
Chihuang waved his hand and said, "Su Luo, you go back and clean up first, and then I will take you to the Daoxue Palace." You will practice in the Academy Palace for a month, and then you will be accepted as a disciple when the master is released. ”
Su Luo hadn't completely digested what happened at this time, he knew that this was a great opportunity, but he also knew that the Heavenly Dao cycle, the truth of being unkind and impartial, the more God gave you, the more tempering it would give you.
However, he obviously had no room to refuse in this matter.
Besides, why should he refuse?
He has the ambition to practice to the Tao and chase power, but how can he be afraid of the trials that are coming?
Su Luo got up and saluted Senior Brother Chihuang respectfully, then went downstairs, then went down the mountain, turned back to the bottom of the mountain, and went to see Zheng Lin and the others.
And after Su Luo left, Luo Xiuxiu immediately swept away the joy and asked: "Senior brother, I know that you have a big enmity with the people who came out of Sun Peak, so I rescued this person, and I originally wanted you to find a Nine Sons Liuzhu Flower for me." I didn't expect that you would accept him as a disciple instead of Shizun, so that he would immediately become a second-generation disciple of Taoism?"
She is still weak, but she is already the main disciple of the Tianri Dao University, and she will become a divine soul, that is, a formal disciple, her mind is naturally unusual, and she has doubts in her heart.
Chihuang already knew that she was going to ask, so he flicked the sleeves of his coat and said noncommittally: "Actually, before the retreat of the master and the impact of the incarnation, he instructed me to find another disciple for him, who could collect it on his behalf and put it on the door wall first. This kid is indeed a character, with a hard temper and courage, which is worth receiving, and you have Xiuxiu to introduce you, senior brother, who am I looking for?"
"What?" Luo Xiuxiu's eyes widened, and she said in surprise, "Shizun doesn't like to teach disciples, didn't he say a long time ago that it is enough to have six of us?"
Chihuang's face was solemn, and he was no longer frivolous, and said, "Xiuxiu, you are still young, you don't know anything." The master has accumulated a lot of money, but he has been shackled for many years, and after this retreat, he will almost certainly be promoted to the level. When the time comes, it is a certain thing for the master to obtain a deputy scholarly position, and at that time, he will bear the brunt of it, and I am afraid that he will offend many people again. Unfortunately, after the eighteenth month, it will be the opening of the Four Great Dao Mansion once every ten years in the Middle Yuan Dynasty, and the period of accepting three thousand Daoist disciples to knock on the Mansion for assessment!"
"The Four Great Dao Mansions, I know this, what does it have to do with the master accepting disciples again?"
Chihuang shook his head and said: "The Four Great Dao Mansion opens once in ten years, and the disciples of the three thousand Daoists in the Middle Yuan Realm will be assessed, and if they pass the assessment, they can enter the Four Great Dao Mansions! I don't know how many people want to fight! And before that, the Four Great Dao Mansions will send people to many Dao schools first, pre-select disciples, and only after the pre-selection, can they participate in the assessment, according to the usual rules, our daily Daoist belongs to the Jianhe Dao Mansion......"
When he said this, he paused, rubbed his fingertips, his expression was quite sad, and he said with a bitter smile: "Back then, because of the matter of Uncle Yingyun of Tianri Peak, there were quite a few opponents of the old man's family! What you don't know is that the two Great Great Dao Mansions opened before you entered...... Hey, originally, you should be the eighth junior sister, and Su Luo will start again, and it will be the ninth junior brother......! I can't bear you!"
"Me?"
Yu Xiuxiu was stunned.
......
......
The servants breathed in and out of breath, and they all showed surprise. This was expected by Su Luo, he held the pale Zheng Lin and said, "Senior Brother Zheng Lin, I will first go to the Xiangdao Palace of Sunset Peak, and in about a month, I can officially apprentice and become an introductory disciple under the main seat of the university." When the time comes, I should be able to come back to see you. ”
Zheng Lin smiled: "It's not necessary. From now on, you will be different from us! Since you have such an opportunity, you will practice hard, and you will not have the opportunity to study Taoism every day!"
"Senior Brother Zheng Lin is right, I remember your teachings. Su Luo said.
Zheng Lin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You will be a real Daoist disciple in the future, even under the seat of the university master, a second-generation disciple of Daoism, and the status of many scholars, I am just a servant, how dare I have any teachings for you?"
Su Luo said disapprerovingly: "After all, I used to be a servant, just like you. Wait, I'll come back to see you. Maybe I'll still be back here and we'll still be in one place. ”
......
Su Luo finally packed up a few of his clothes and went up to the mountain where Luo Xiuxiu lived.
"Senior Brother Su's temperament is pure, and he can't say that he will soar and achieve success in the future, and he will not forget us. ”
"I believe in Senior Brother Su's words. Senior Brother Zheng Lin, do you say, will Senior Brother Su come back to us again?"
Zheng Lin said calmly: "Senior Brother Su is the fifth one I sent away, and when they left, they mostly said the same. It's like the water that flows to a low place, and it is impossible to go against the current, so if people go to a high place, they probably won't have the intention of coming down, right?"
......
......
In front of Yu Xiuxiu's residence, Chihuang flicked his fingers, and his fingertips shot out light and fire, sneering and exploding into a red sword body.
He grabbed Su Luo with his hand, jumped up, took Su Luo with him, and then set up the sword light and quickly soared, broke through the air, exploded a violent roar, and flew straight to the depths of the mountains in the west, and in a blink of an eye, there was only a little light left.
Luo Xiuxiu stood in place, distracted for a while, before turning his head and ordering: "Duoduo, you go down the mountain and instruct that Zheng Lin to let him take a medium-grade elixir red jade fungus in the medicine field by himself, which can heal his injuries." ”
Duoduo was teasing the birds, playing with great interest: "It's almost time to deliver lunch at the bottom of the mountain, can't you let someone talk about it then?"
Luo Xiuxiu frowned and said, "This is something entrusted to me by the junior brother, so let's do it quickly." ”
"Okay. Duoduo reluctantly responded.
At the same time, at the western foot of the Tianri Mountain Range, thousands of feet of clouds, Su Luo rode the wind, it was the first time in his life. When he followed Su Rong and was brought to the Tianri Mountain Range by a master of Tianri Taoism, he had never been in the flying sword light out of thin air, flying horizontally.
Everything in heaven and earth is under your feet, and you can reach the heavens at your fingertips.
This is a cultivator!
On the west side of the Tianri Mountain Range, in the clouds of the sky, there is a big mountain that is not magnificent, but a little desolate, no more than 3,000 zhang high, it is not the peak of the Tianri Mountain Range in the vast expanse, but the square circle is extremely vast, there are more than 100 miles, the ridge is undulating, stretching and falling, deriving many small hills, clustered around.
In fact, the small mountain where Luo Xiuxiu lived, as well as the valley below the mountain, all belonged to the branch of this large mountain.
This is Sunset Peak.
"It's here!"
Senior Brother Chihuang pressed down the sword light and snorted softly.
I saw the sword light breaking through the clouds, below is the open hillside to the south of the sunset peak, dozens of miles, the forest is undulating, like blue waves, the stream and spring are clear, floating and clear; the tiger roars and the ape cries endlessly, the eagle falcon splits the sky and hisses, and there is a glorious leap in the mountains, and the sword pill jumps, this is the master of the cultivation of the master galloping in the sky, or the magic weapon of sacrifice.
In the meantime, there are many treasure halls and palaces, and there are more than 1,000 elegant residences, which are the residences of the disciples of the school palace. At the southern foot of the mountainside, there is a vast dojo, surrounded by many temples, there are more than 30 of them, it is the preaching hall of the school palace to teach the Tao.
Chihuang's voice sounded in his ears: "The entire southern foot of Sunset Peak is the Xiangdao Palace, those palaces are all inhabited by disciples, and those palaces next to the middle dojo are the places where many scholars regularly hold evening classes, and occasionally the three university masters will also come down to explain and teach." I have already passed on the letter and asked people to get ready, so I will take you to make a book now, and establish your identity as a beginner disciple, and our master will be the master of the University of Astigmatism!"
He smiled at Su Luo and said, "Then you can stay in the Academy Palace, you can listen to any scholar's evening class, practice hard by yourself, consolidate your cultivation, and wait for the master to come out." There is one thing you have to remember, you are the main disciple of the university, and you must keep your name as a second-generation disciple and my little junior disciple of Chihuang!"
They were about to land, Su Luo took a deep breath and promised with anticipation: "Okay!"
